11:25 AM -- Two rounds are in the books and eight of the nine teams have competed save Team Body by Tra, which is taking the field now.
Team 1925 All-Stars are unbeaten after defeating Team B2G Five-Star, 14-12. Up next for 1925 is Team Frat Boyz with five-star safety Su'a Cravens. Frat Boyz are also unbeaten after knocking off Team IE Elite, 28-6.
On the other side, Team Alliance blanked Team Impulse55 Elite, 25-0, and Team B2G Scorch held off Team GameChangersLA, 27-20.
12:15 PM -- Frat Boyz are making a statement today with a 25-0 win over 1925. They along Alliance are 2-0. Alliance beat Body by Tra by inches, literally. The 14-13 win came in overtime with Alliance gaining just a few more inches on a pass completion in the tiebreaker.
1:05 PM -- The action is heating as B2G Five Star won its last two games starting with a 14-0 win over IE Elite. Then they made a statement by beating Frat Boyz 19-16 on the final play of the game.
B2G Scorch remains the lone unbeaten squad at 2-0 beating Impulse 26-8. Alliance loses its first game, 12-7, to GameChangersLA.
Scorch can earn the No. 1 seed with a win over Body by Tra in its final pool play game.
1:35 PM -- And Scorch goes down.
Body by Tra notches its first win with the 18-13 win over the last unbeaten. Team 1925 remains in contention for a top seed with a 18-14 over IE Elite, which finishes pool play at 0-3.
2:00 PM -- The seeds are set.
Team Impulse55 lost its final pool play game, 14-6, to Alliance falling to 0-3. Body by Tra improved to 2-1 with a win over GameChangersLA, which fell to 1-2.
Overall record and points determine the seed. With six teams tied at 2-1, Team Frat Boyz secured the No. 1 seed with 70 total points.
Team B26 Scorch is the No. 2 with 66 points. Team Alliance, B2G Five Star, Body by Tra and 1925 round out the teams that finished 2-1 in pool play and seeded No. 3-6, respectively.
GameChangersLA finished 1-2 and earned the seventh seed. Impulse55 and IE Elite play at 2:30 in the play in game to determine the No. 8 seed.
3:05 PM -- IE Elite bounces Impulse55 out of the tournament setting up a matchup with top seed Frat Boyz.
3:35 PM -- Frat Boyz continue their dominance taking out IE Elite. On the other side of the bracket, B2G Scorch defeats GameChangersLA. Both advance to the semifinals.
4:10 PM -- The semis are about to start.
Body by Tra stave offs B2G Five Star by one after picking off a pass with a minute to play. Body by Tra will play top seed Frat Boyz, which should be great game. Both teams suffered their only loss on the final play of the game.
Team 1925 is waking up for the playoffs. Coach Keyshawn Johnson showed after pool play and has his team focused on the prize after beating higher seed Team Alliance.
They will play B2G Scorch. Anytime B2G matches up with 1925, it's entertaining.
All four semifinalists qualified for the Best of West finals on May 27 in Santa Maria.
4:35 PM -- The seeds stay true as B2G Scorch knocks off 1925 and Frat Boyz hold off Body by Tray.
5:00 PM -- Midway through the championship game and B2G Scorch is leading the Frat Boyz. 5:15 -- Team B2G Scorch blanks Frat Boyz 13-0 in the 30-minute championship game played on 70-yard field goal.
Congratulations to B2G Scorch the 2012 Passing Down Elite 7-on-7 Challenge SoCal champions.

Poetry Readings: A Field Guide
I recently attended the reading of a friend at a huge bookstore in Austin. They stood him behind a display that included an antique typewriter, a quill, and sheets of fake parchment on which had been written the first lines of famous poems. They didn't switch off the Muzak, the phone at the checkout desk rang incessantly, and the shrieks of children echoed up the stairwell. As he read his poems, customers in that crowded store approached him curiously, as if he were one of those eerie mechanical mannequins popular at tourist sites. They would track his gaze into the rows of fold-up seats, empty but for me, the listening dummy. At the heart of that bloated, indifferent store, it felt indeed as if we were an exhibit, the last reader and listener in the world.
This was a good poet and a good reader in an unfortunate circumstance, but isn't it true that most poetry readings cause one to wonder if it isn't time to let this strange species of performance slip into extinction? Let's be honest, poetry readings are often equivalent, at one end of the spectrum, to extreme sensory deprivation, at the other to having God rub the audience's face in its own mess shouting, "Bad humans! Bad humans!" Why is it that so few poets think about the importance of leaving their audience wanting moreor at least not wanting to self-harm? We've all experienced it. A lively, engaging, funny person takes the podium. We adore her; we're ready to adore her work. And then it's as if someone has pulled a string in the back of her head to release the "poetry voice" from her abruptly expressionless face. Like body odor, this problem is simple to remedy, but clearly poets are too embarrassed to tell other poets that a voice as monotonous and abstract as the signals of a life-support machine cannot but render one's poemsand audiencecomatose. What I'm attempting to inaugurate here is something of a taxonomy, so that poetry lovers may more quickly identify potentially harmful readings. Also, who can deny that we have long needed to develop the same kind of categorical sophistication for poets that we now have for those suffering from mental illness? In this way we can offer help to these writers and hope for their audiences.
A general point first: all English accents must be purged, even on the rare occasions when the poet is in fact English. They sound absurd. This behavior, which I fear may be a non-adaptive genetic anomaly, afflicts a small subset of my first phylum: the Personas.
A particularly populous genus here consists of men who fear that being a poet raises a question mark over their masculinity. We've all encountered these bearded, grizzled, older male poets who've built their artistic liveslike their backwoods homeswith their own bare hands. These are hunting men, who butcher their kill with the same coarse tenderness with which they make love to their women (which they do a lot). I once drove one of these men to give a private reading in the luxurious home of a woman who, together with a number of her friends, had sponsored his visit to a certain writing program in Texas. This duty was anathema for the poet. Already half drunk, he looked out at that audience of wealthy women with contempt. In the questionand- answer session that followed, he insulted their pretensions, the conventional sterility of their lives, their wealth and privilege. They loved it. This dismayed him. He went to get another drink but the women followed en masse. Desperate, he growled out Kinnell's "The Bear," spitting that creature's gnashed, blood-sopped turd right into their faces. And they loved it. Shivering with pleasure they crowded in. No longer the hunter, he'd become the hunted. These women wanted only what he claimed to want for them: to gorge upon the vitals of life. Only it was his vitals, his life, and the coward fell loudly asleep.
The equivalent here for women is the Sexpot, which is becoming increasingly common. I saw one read last year when I was home in London. She'd complained in a recent interview that people were focusing too much on her looks and the sensual subject matter of her work, which threatened to compromise her identity as a serious artist. She turned up to the reading in a pair of thigh-high boots, a leather miniskirt, and what looked like a bustier. Her blonde hair, which fell almost to her waist, was pulled forward over one shoulder. She read in a voice at once husky and honeyed, the little creature of her tongue blindly attending her lips. Between each poem she took a moment to heft that glorious hair behind her neck and over the other half of her body, in this action shrugging our gaze like so many flies from her naked shoulders. In the middle of one particular poem, which raised the question of individual responsibility in the face of our growing estrangement from metaphysical consciousnessbeautifully metaphorized in an explicit act of bondagethe woman friend I was with leaned into me and whispered that the poet might be better off with a pole than a podium. Of course I told the old bat to keep quiet. Equally numerous and as successfully diverse as the Personas are the Interlocutors. This phylum is defined by what goes on between each poemthe patter. Notable here are the stand-up poets, who get us rolling in the aisles just before they launch into a poem about the Holocaust. So much here depends on the type and quality of the poems, and how they are delivered. In general poets should avoid making themselves too engaging when they're not reading their poems. We've all been to those readings that are like watching an entertaining videotape that periodically freezes and crackles, where we can't wait for the living poet to reemerge from the static mire of his work.
There are also Interlocutors who become unraveled between poems. I once read with just such a poet. We agreed on a maximum of twenty minutes each. To assure me, he showed me the four short poems he was going to read. He elected to go first, seemed confident, but when he reached the podium this usually articulate man developed an astonishing stammer. Staring up at the ceiling and rocking on his hips like an autistic Elvis, he repeated every word of his already lengthy introductory explanations: "The the the the idea idea idea idea for for for for this this this this poem poem poem poem . . ." Like a shaman he entered us into mythic time. We touched eternity. At last he would get to the poem itself and read it flawlessly, briefly resolving our world upon that axis before flinging us up once more into the widening gyre of his next introduction. As a result his reading took close to an hour. As I got up to read, the place thunderously emptied, a number of chairs upended in the general panic. Only a few stalwart friends remained, and of course the poet himself, blissfully smiling at me from the front row.
It strikes me now that this man is actually a hybrid of the Interlocutor and the equally common Sesquipedilector, which I shall get to later.
First I want to address the problem of an alien species entering a long isolated ecosystem, which, as we know, can be ruinous. I once went to a reading at an old-fashioned and extremely expensive private college. The professors were of the kind that are kept hermetically sealed between classes. Some of them were probably hundreds of years old. In general the visiting writers, as you'd expect, were of the canonical ilk. However, the wealthy alumnus who had sponsored the reading series had stipulated that one poet per semester had to be selected by the students (it's better to consult a Ouija board or cast bones). The beautiful chapel where the reading took place was packed, the professors and their spouses filling the front rows. The "students' choice," a woman with wild, ashen hair, wearing an ankle-length hemp dress, took the podium. She immediately introduced her partner, a Willie Nelson look-a-like who emerged from the front row clutchingyou've guessed ita set of bongos. In many of her poems she was, apparently, channeling spirits, her eyes fluttering back in her head, various voices howling through her like the wind through the Badlands. At one point, like an infant, she screamed, "Mama! Mama!" Throughout it all that man banged on his bongos with an expression that I think was intended to suggest profound spiritual absorption, though it seemed more the result of sniffing glue. When the reading was finally over the front rows looked decimated, those professors like so many vampires tricked into sunlight.
Of course in the right environmentsay a coven of white witches or a padded cellthis reading would have been perfectly acceptable. There is, however, a particularly pernicious genus of poet, the members of which should never read: the Abstruse Inflictors. It is not necessarily the case that the work of an Abstruse Inflictor is in itself bad: it is simply not appropriate to read. Such poets should give a lecture, or show off other talents, such as playing the spoons or remarkable doublejointedness. In the past you could spot them reasonably easily. They were mostly male and tended to look like D.H. Lawrence in his last years, gaunt and fiercely bearded. Their gaze in particular was unmistakable and conveyed with deadly clarity the simple message: You bastards, you're going to get it now. More recently, however, they are becoming increasingly difficult to identify, and there are almost as many females as males. Just a little while ago I was fooled by an utterly innocuous-looking poet who was giving a reading at City Lights in San Francisco. As it turned out, his poems were so filled with arcane references he took fifteen minutes before each one to apprise us of all the allusions and provide the translations from the Latin, Aramaic, and Urdu. Throughout his explanations, a barely repressed selfsatisfaction distorted his lips. It looked very much as if he were savoring our discomfort, swishing it around his palate like a fine wine.
Even one poem from an Abstruse Inflictor is one too many. But this isn't the case for most poets, which leads us then to that all-important question: how long should a poet read? Of course this depends a great deal on the type of poems and the audience. However, if we want people to continue attending poetry readingsand perhaps we don't it is essential that a poet doesn't read too long. Those who invariably do are the Sesquipedilectors, of which there are a few kinds. Some are richly blessed with self-love. Since the work of these people is inevitably about themselves, it is inconceivable to them that it could ever be in excess supply. Others are, to put it gently, too utterly poets, with all the attendant social obliviousness that implies. Though they can count angels upon a pinhead, they can't differentiate the eternal suffering of the damned from a fancy spa. But perhaps the most deadly are those who hate themselves, who punish themselves through us.
I encountered one in this latter group while I was teaching at a university in upstate New York. He was that semester's poet-in-residence. I'd been given the task of escorting him to his reading. It was a raining, blustery day, and he seemed convinced that no one was going to turn up. "Oh well, the fewer poor jerks listening to my garbage the better," he said. Assuming he was just nervous, I offered blandishments. In fact the room was packed. I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of my own undergraduatesone girl in particular, who had previously responded to poetry with something close to physical revulsion. The poet began by telling everyone that they must be completely "loco" to come out on such a night to hear his "crappy work." It was clear he'd made a big impression on his own students, and a little group of them were cheering him on, which gave him a childish look of flushed-faced joy. He began. His poems were exactly right for that young audience: anecdotal, irreverent, and funny. The whole room kindled. Even my reluctant student began to smile and engage. As the reading approached forty minutes, the poet called out, "Four more and you'll be free." As he came to the fourth, he glanced at his watch and said, "Ten more minutes tops, and you'll be out of here in time for American Idol." Those ten minutes stretched to fifteen, to twenty. Even his cheerleaders were finally silenced as the reading became a mangle through which he cranked our sensibilities. And the horror was that he seemed completely aware of this. He began to read his poems compulsively. It was like watching someone with an eating disorder, a look of voracious desperation about him. All those in the audience who might have decided a half hour ago that this poetry stuff wasn't so awful after all now sat with glazed eyes, taking from this experience what good poetry gives us in its music and beauty, and bad in the fact of its existence: that suffering is at the heart of life, that we are forever chained to our seats on the old slave passage through God's uneven and interminable oeuvre.
But does it have to be this way? For me poetry is the premier, the most exacting and potentially rewarding art, and I've attended a number of wonderful readings. They are, however, as any honest person will have to admit, a distinct minority. Are these bad readings, then, merely the last shudders of that glacial shift from the work of the oral poet, who had to vividly engage his audience or risk being stripped naked and beaten (which I'm all for), to work written for the page, for an abstract audience of editors, prize judges, search committees, and last leastthose shadowy readers of our future books? Is my desire for an actual human being standing in front of me to say something stirring, beautiful, and brilliantand to say it welljust vestigial? It seems to me that if we don't find some way to train, rehabilitate, even render extinct some of the more pernicious of the species I have described above, we should indeed begin a fund for that museum exhibit: the last living reader and listener in the world.

Daniel nodded a few times at Oscar's suggestion at finding a teacher to ask about the egg. "I think I saw on my schedule that there's a breeding expert or something… otherwise, it'd be a good idea to head to the daycare, I think. But yeah, good luck!" he called out as Oscar turned and waved while smiling.
Alexis giggled quietly and bumped her side back against Flora's playfully. "It was a lot of fun! I hope we can do it again sometime." At this moment, Flora noticed Oscar moving out the door and scurried after him, waving a leaf at them. Alexis responded by lifting a paw, waving at her. "Bye Flora!"
After they had left, she turned to the others, seeing that Snype had gone over to Thyme, and she decided to leave them be and walked over to Len, sitting down next to him with a smile. "Hey again, Len. So, we're going on an adventure! Are you excited? What kind of Pokémon do you think we'll find?"
"Hey Daniel, what supplies do you got on you? You at least got a few potions on you right? It might be pretty rough up there for our pokemon."
Daniel blinked a few times before realizing what he was talking about and nodded, giving the pack he had slung over his shoulder a little pat, which was now resting at his hip. "Yep! I always go out prepared. I've got potions, a few antidotes, an awakening or two, some money… uh, you know, just in case. First aid kit and all that."
He nodded firmly, smiling sheepishly. He sort of felt like a dork for taking so much care of bringing stuff to a trip into the mountains. He deliberately hadn't mentioned the two Pokéballs he always carried, due to the fact that he wasn't prepared to catch a Pokémon up there, and probably wasn't going to any time soon.
"So, uh… do you think we're ready? I am, and Alexis should be good to go as well. And as you've seen, we can handle rock types." He grinned a little proudly, glancing over to Alexis who were chattering away with Len.

A police officer is suing his supervisor, plus the borough, for harassment.
Timothy Varga has filed a lawsuit against the borough of North Catasauqua, councilman William McGinley and Police Chief Kim Moyer.
In the suit, Varga alleges the defendants defamed his name and character by issuing "erroneous and inflammatory communications" in an article from 2010.
Varga also accuses the defendants of intentionally inflictied emotional distress, interfered with his business relationship with his employer, and invaded his privacy.
The suit asks for an amount in excess of $50,000 in economic and compensatory damages.
Varga joined the North Catasaqua police department in 2006.
In 2008, he was terminated, but filed a grievance and won his job back.

File this one under the "we kind of forgot they were still dating" category: Jude Law and Sienna Miller have ended their on-again, off-again relationship, according to PEOPLE magazine.
Law and Miller, who met on the set of 'Alfie,' got engaged on Christmas Day 2004; but after Law admitted to an affair with his nanny, Daisy Wright ("He is a great lover and knows how to satisfy a woman," she told the Daily Mirror), the pair broke off their engagement in 2006.
The couple reunited in the fall of 2009, shortly after Law fathered his fourth child, with model Samantha Burke. (Law has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost. Keep up, people!) As proof of his newfound devotion and fidelity to Miller, Law bought her a grand piano with a sapphire-diamond ring inside.
Law and Miller are said to remain "good friends" despite their breakup; as a friend told PEOPLE, "It was an entirely an end-of-the relationship decision. It had run its course."
No word on who gets to retain custody of the grand piano.

The Museology Program partners with other institutions and programs to advance the relevance and effectiveness of museums and museum professionals. Examples of special initiatives include.
The American Alliance of Museums' Excellence in Exhibition Label Writing Competition recognizes outstanding and innovative label writing in museums, zoos, aquariums, universities and libraries. The Museology Program is pleased to partner with John Russick, director of curatorial affairs at the Chicago History Museum, to organize and manage the competition for the third year in 2015. Each year one Museology student is selected to coordinate the review process in collaboration with the committee.
Museums & Social Issues, a peer-reviewed journal published by Maney Publishing and founded by Kris Morrissey, provides a forum for considering and discussing social issues and the engagement of museums in those issues. Each issue, available in print and online, focuses on a specific theme and includes theoretical, philosophical and practical perspectives from inside and outside the museum field. Past issues have dealt with a range of topics such as immigration, race, public understanding of evolution, losing touch with nature, civic discourse, etc.
Specialization in Museum Evaluation prepares a new generation of evaluators and museum practitioners, through an innovative apprentice-styled laboratory that integrates the strengths of mentoring, fieldwork, academics, and client-centered experiences. Led by University of Washington's Museology Program, and joined by key advisors from the Woodland Park Zoo and Seattle's local evalution field, New Directions is a succesfful model of university and community collaboration.
The Emerging Curator Initiative is a collaborative venture shared between the Kirkland Arts Center (KAC) in Kirkland, WA and the Museology Graduate Program to provide a museology graduate student with the opportunity to plan and execute an exhibition hosted in the KAC Gallery as the focus of the student's master's project. Once selected, the student works closely with representatives of both organizations to shape their concept, define their inquiry, and connect that framework to artwork that expresses it. This collaboration provides a bridge between the academic and professional world and creates an educational experience that benefits the "emerging" student curator, regional artists, and the public.

On Saturday June 28, 2014, at about 7:20PM, Inyo County Sheriff's Dispatch received a call regarding an injured hiker on Palisade Glacier (above Big Pine in the Sierra Mountain range). According to the reporting party, Jay Underwood a 32-year old man from Palo Alto, California, had sustained a blow to his knee by a boulder and could not walk due to severe pain. The reporting party further explained that he and Underwood had been camping at Sam Mack Meadows; the morning of the 28th they left camp to climb the Palisade Glacier via the U-Notch route. After successfully climbing to the top of U-Notch, they began their descent. Not long into the descent they heard the sound of boulders falling – Underwood looked up and saw a "watermelon" sized boulder heading in his direction. Underwood attempted to move out of the way but was struck on his left knee by the boulder. The pain was too intense for Underwood to walk back to camp. Underwood's hiking partner contacted the Sheriff's Office via cellular phone, and advised that he would bring warm clothes and a sleeping bag to Underwood's location until search teams could assist the next morning.
On Sunday June 29th at about 6:45AM, 8 Inyo County SAR members started up the North Fork Trail to provide assistance to Underwood until air support arrived. By 9:30AM Underwood was loaded into US Forest Service helicopter 525 and transported to the Bishop Airport where he was met by Symons Ambulance Service to further transport him to Northern Inyo Hospital for treatment. A big "thank you" goes out to Inyo County SAR and US Forest Service 525 for your help and quick response!
On Sunday June 1st, 2014, at about 10:00pm the Inyo County Sheriff' Office was notified of a bear in the roadway on West Line Street across from the DMV. Shortly after deputies arrived the bear disappeared into thick brush. By 11:00pm the bear reappeared, only this time reports were indicating that the bear was rummaging through trash in the Snow Circle area of Bishop. Sheriff's Deputies and Tribal Police located the bear in the middle of a residential driveway eating trash. Once spotted the bear ran off into a field east of Longview Street.
According to California Department of Fish and Game bears may be a common occurrence in residential areas this summer due to a lack of food and water in the mountains. It is important to remember that feeding wildlife is detrimental to the animal – once conditioned to human sources of food bears will seek them out creating increased safety concerns for people. For information on bear-proofing your residence please visit Department of Fish and Game's "Keep me Wild" webpage at http://www.dfg.ca.gov/keepmewild/bear.html.
On May 15th through the 21st, 11 members of the Inyo County volunteer Search and Rescue (SAR) team participated in 7-day technical rope-work training provided by Rigging for Rescue, of Ouray, CO. The training was a combination of classroom learning, and field exercises. Some of the classroom topics included sessions on the forces involved with rescue loads, methods for calculating forces in a system, and observing videos and examining results of drop tests performed on different materials and equipment, and various rescue techniques. Curriculum for the field sessions included personal on-rope skills, litter lowering and raising techniques, pulley systems, belay systems, and guide/highline systems. The purpose of the training was to train current volunteers in the most advanced techniques used in high angle rescues activities. Individuals at the rope-work seminar will lead trainings in the techniques for the remainder of the SAR group.

|The Nationals' rapid development into a contender this season has been a pleasant surprise. (Getty Images)
Just one week left. I can't believe it. One week from Wednesday is the final day of the MLB regular season. I'll avoid the stupid "it seems like only yesterday" cliché here, because it doesn't really seem like yesterday that I did my first set of rankings for the 2012 season.
Still, it doesn't seem that long ago, but we've learned so much since then. I looked back at my preseason rankings and found many teams in a similar position to where they are now, but obviously several misses as well.
In the interest of entertainment and personal accountability, let's take a look back on some of my preseason rankings.
The Yankees and Rangers were in my top three, I had the Mets and Cubs pretty well nailed and the Astros were No. 30 (but that was a gimme, so I hesitate even bringing it up).
|More on MLB
|Related links
I did say the Nationals were primed for a breakout and I thought about putting them in the top 10, but instead relented and said the breakout comes in '13. So partial credit there.
I also noted that Mat Latos wasn't reliant on Petco Park and he would work out fine for the Reds.
I drastically underestimated the Giants. That's the one I'm most kicking myself about. They were only one year removed from a championship and I should have seen the obvious bounce-back coming. That one is on me. The Reds are in a similar boat.
Also, the Nationals were too low, as were the White Sox, though I did say this about the Sox: "IF Jake Peavy stays healthy and returns to Cy Young form, IF Adam Dunn returns to 40-homer form, IF Gordon Beckham develops into an All-Star, IF Alex Rios returns to All-Star form, IF Chris Sale becomes a frontline starter immediately and IF Matt Thornton becomes a dominant closer, the White Sox MIGHT be able to challenge the Tigers. Anyone want any of that action?"
Not too far off, really.
I bought into the Marlins as playoff contenders and ranked them 10th. Ugh.
The Athletics were my 28th-ranked team heading into the season. The Orioles were 29th. This is where you pretend like you knew these two teams would break out (of course you did) and call me an idiot. I'll maintain that few saw either team being competitive this season and just about anyone with baseball knowledge would have said both making the playoffs is insane. And that's what makes these two teams such a big story and baseball great, no? I'll gladly accept being wrong with the trade-off of the added excitement these two teams have brought this season.
Overall I'm most displeased with buying into the Marlins, being too scared to puff my chest out about the Nationals a little more and not giving the Giants or Reds near enough credit. Aside from that, either something unforeseen happened or I was in the ballpark.
Rankings, comments and stats are through Tue., Sept. 25. Please feel free to contact me via email with comments: email@example.com.

Today is a very big day. At this time last year Monte (AKA Montego, named after Montego Bay in Jamaica) was born. Which means today is his very first birthday (or 7th, depending on how you look at it).
Some things you should know. We call Monte a zillion different names: Poodle, Poodle Noodle, Nudes (yeah, don't ask), Noodle Head, The Deaths (again, don't ask), Montezuma… and those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. We didn't bring Monte into our family till late April. At which point, when we bought him he was on sale because he was "old". Monte is not good at posing for pictures (as you can tell with this picture) and he dislikes that the cats won't play with him. He loves getting staticky, running around the apartment like a total crazy dog and he loves to be where people are. Monte is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. All he wants in life is to be close to someone, get pets and give kisses.
So yay for this day because today is the day Monte came into the world and because of that Dustin and I have had some pretty fantastic days! Happy birthday Monte!
Well, now that my job security is gone and the house hunt is on hold I've decided that the best thing for me would be to get a degree so that I can find a BETTER job. I've had a rough time with school in the past and that's always because I've felt the need to work, especially with Caribou. I had insurance through work and so I HAD to work at least 20 hours to get that. Those 20 always turned into nearly 30 and between that and school I always had a hard time keeping balance. Now, I can find a job for just a few hours a week and concentrate on school A LOT more. And then, once I've finished and once I've found a better paying job we can look at houses again.
It feels like a good decision. And it feels like the decision I maybe should have made. But that's life, right?
More soon.

It's still a work in progress, with contractors' vehicles very much in evidence and access only by a circuitous route through a dusty, unpaved parking area.
Yet Mark and Joseph Jaconski's efforts to rebuild Stanley's True Value Hardware on Ridge Avenue in Roxborough hasn't kept customers away. At lunchtime Thursday, the makeshift parking lot where the old store sat until June was filled to capacity, though traffic in and out never let up.
The new building, with 10,000 square feet of retail space, is more than three times bigger than the old one, which Mark, 53, said was never designed to do what his grandfather and father (Stanleys both) required for the 55 years the hardware store has been there.

The "®" mark must be included on all other materials such as sales collateral and stationery.
Outside of the US and Mexico, the "®" registered mark must be used on all applications to protect the MetLife mark. All countries should confirm with the Intellectual Property/ Information Technology Unit in MetLife Legal Affairs (firstname.lastname@example.com) whether the "®" (registered trademark symbol) may be used next to the MetLife logo locally, or whether the TM/SM unregistered trademark symbol is more appropriate.
Each Download includes, EPS, JPG & PNG.
There are often business or legal requirements that suggest or dictate the use of third party logos, for reasons such as a joint offering, partnership, or an endorsement.
Third-party logos of subsidiaries and partners are clearly subordinated to the MetLife logo and should be placed in a way that they compete as little as possible with the MetLife logo. The other logo should be placed in the lower right corner of the brochure, in a size approximately 50% of the MetLife logo. The MetLife logo with Snoopy should appear in the identity band in its standard position.
The MetLife logo should not appear in the identity band, but should be rendered in MetLife Blue (or other acceptable color) and aligned with the other company's (or companies') logos at the bottom corner of the brochure. Preferable placement is for the MetLife logo to appear in the lower right of the page.
In instances where the MetLife logo is subordinate to another company's logo, the preferred positioning is the lower right hand corner of the page.
The MetLife name as expressed in the logo is the single most important visual component in establishing our brand presence. Our logo is a clear, strong, timeless presentation of our name.
A minimum amount of clear space must always surround the MetLife logo, separating it from other elements such as headlines, text, or imagery. The protected area is equal to the cap height of the MetLife "M" and is proportional to the size of the signature being used.
Careful consideration should be given when determining the size of the MetLife logo. When it is too small it can be ineffective. The minimum size for the logo should be 1 pica for the height of the "M" in MetLife.

Corbett nominates chief of staff for judge seat
State Senate will need to confirm nomination
Gov. Tom Corbett has confirmed that he is replacing chief of staff William Ward.
Corbett announced Thursday that he is nominating his longtime friend to fill a vacant seat on the Allegheny County Common Pleas Court. Corbett said he has named Stephen Aichele, previously his top legal adviser, to take over as chief of staff.
A representative for the Republican governor said this is not a move to respond to persistent criticism by some Republican legislators about his prowess at politics and persuasion. The governor said serving as a judge was a long-time dream for the 60-year-old Ward and that he is happy to help his old friend make it come true.
Ward's nomination will require confirmation by the state Senate.

Nick Foles practiced with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday after being cleared to return from the concussion that kept him out of last week's loss to the New York Giants.
However, he said he did not know who will start at quarterback in Sunday's game at Oakland. He split first-team reps with rookie Matt Barkley , who played Sunday after Michael Vick re-injured his left hamstring in the first series.

"That'll be their decision," Foles told reporters in Philadelphia after practice, referring to coach Chip Kelly and the offensive assistants. But he added that he did everything he normally does and felt comfortable. "I feel good … I'm ready to go," he said.
"We haven't seen him out here since he played in the Dallas game," offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said. "We've got to see where he's at. He's medically cleared for us, but we'll see how he responds to the practice reps today."
On Monday, Kelly said that he would not name a starter for this week until he had all the information on Vick's and Foles' health.
Shurmur added that Vick — who underwent an MRI on his hamstring Monday — attended meetings Tuesday and was seen by team trainers but did not practice. No results on the MRI have been made public. Indications are he will not play Sunday and the starter will be Foles — who started the two weeks before Vick returned (a win over Tampa Bay and a loss to Dallas in which he was injured) — or Barkley, who has not started a game but has finished the last two.
Asked if he knew whether the decision would be made based on Foles' health or which quarterback practices better, Barkley said, "Hopefully everything's on merit, but we'll see what happens. I don't know. That's not my decision; we'll see how that goes."

Providing merchants with a beautiful mPOS solution/
Creditcall are a Bristol based payment solutions company providing global payment solutions for a number of big name clients including Toyota, Virgin trains, NCP, Pay By Phone, Hilton and Selfridges & Co.
Creditcall provide an SDK for third parties to integrate their payment services into their apps and required an exemplary app to demonstrate what can be achieved with their platform.
The CardEase Mobile platform supports:
- Credit card processing
- Cash/Cheque transaction tracking
- Printed/SMS receipts
- Multiple Bluetooth PIN pad support for credit card transactions
- Security best practices to keep payment details secure
We are incredibly happy with the app and you've integrated with our API in record time, with minimal assistance.Nigel Jewell | Payment Solutions Manager | Creditcall Ltd.
Making it happen
Creditcall had previously built their CardEase apps in-house, so had a clear idea of what they required but lacked the creative flair to create a truly beautiful looking app with great UX. This is where we came in. We built them a brand new iPad app from the ground up, with a brand new look and feel that complemented their own branding, whilst allowing for re-skinning for their white label service.
The previous, in-house, apps were also found to be difficult to setup for users as they had to enter a number of details in a settings screen for the app to work, without much feedback when details had been entered incorrectly. Part of the brief was to develop a simple and intuitive step-by-step tutorial to guide the user through each piece of information they needed to enter with clear and helpful feedback if anything was entered incorrectly.
We developed the app to a tight schedule, enabling CreditCall to demonstrate it at the 2013 App World Conference at Earl's Court where it took centre stage.
Creditcall had experience of third parties using their CardEase Mobile SDK before and found that we were faster, and required less help, integrating it than any they'd seen before.
After the proven success of the iPad app being used to demonstrate their platform at shows and expos they came back and asked us to take the iPad version onto iPhone and also rebuild their Android app for both phones and tablets.

on September 7, 2012 - 8:42 PM
That Bob Dylan can still surprise us at the age of 71 is a fact to treasure. Certainly, over the course of his 50-year career, the man has lost his way from time to time, settling into auto-pilot mode and occasionally "phoning in" his shows. But a sold-out crowd at Artpark in Lewiston on Thursday evening was treated to a performance during which rock's greatest lyricist and most mercurial, inscrutable personality vigorously explored the outer boundaries of his own music, challenging himself, his audience and his band in the process.
Dylan has a new album, "Tempest," due to drop on Tuesday, but true to form, he didn't offer a single note of this new music instead coughing up 90-plus minutes of often wildly revamped and reimagined songs from his back pages. More often than not, these songs were translated through new vocal melodies, transformed rhythms and grooves, and radically altered constructions.
Dylan seemed to be taking devilish delight from the whole process, strutting about the stage like a hybrid of the Mad Hatter and a vaudevillian sideshow emcee, indulging in the often rich possibilities of his wildly inventive vocal phrasing as if he was as surprised by what was coming through the PA speakers as we were.
Opening with a roughshod but swinging take on "Watching the River Flow," Dylan then led the band into the evergreen "It Ain't Me Babe," the once folk-based piece now transmogrified into a rolling, piano-led waltz. This is Dylan's latest parlor trick - he arrived with a grand piano in tow, for the first time playing most of his sets seated behind the ivory 88s.
Unsurprisingly, Dylan the pianist is a wildly inventive proposition. He consistently took chances throughout Thursday's show, and as is always the case where risk-taking is concerned, sometimes he soared and sometimes he crashed to the ground. "Things Have Changed," for instance, found Dylan starting the tune standing before the microphone at center stage, but after merely the first of the song's many verses, he hopped back behind the piano, offering strange contrapuntal melodic commentary on his own vocal phrasing, while bandmembers Charlie Sexton, George Recile, Tony Garnier, Stu Kimball and Donnie Heron watched him with laser focus. No one seemed sure where all of this was gonna go, which is, of course, a big part of the fun.
"Tangled Up In Blue" featured Dylan's first proper piano solo of the evening, and - wait for it - it was a completely strange and yet somehow beautiful and fitting piece of musical commentary. He messed with the lyrics, too, riffing gleefully on the tale of star-crossed lovers where he'd often in the past simply mumble through when he forgot the words temporarily. This was telling - when Dylan is in a good mood, which he certainly appeared to be on Thursday, we get a much better show.
And we get a better selection of songs, too; Thursday's highlight was surely "Lovesick," the lead-off track from Dylan's milestone ""Time Out Of Mind" album. Guitarist Sexton led the way on this one, its haunted, disfigured reggae strut helmed by his sharp chordal stabs. Dylan sounded absolutely possessed here, a crazed carnival barker stumbling through a post-apocalypse wasteland and spitting out his observations. This was prime modern-era Dylan - part theatre, part poetry, part blues lament, the singer acting the part of the hoary old wedding guest in Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner."
Dylan seemed to be taking perverse delight in messing with his musicians. Interestingly, he didn't offer the finest soloist on the stage - guitarist Sexton, who is simply a beast of a player, though he is kept on a short, chordal-comping leash in the present-day Dylan band - a single opportunity to take the spotlight. Sexton didn't solo once - instead, Dylan gave the nod to the able but unremarkable Kimball, or grabbed the solo spotlight for his own piano, blues harp, or - and this got interesting folks, - guitar. Dylan manned the latter for another big surprise, the torrid "Simple Twist of Fate.". Dylan grabbed ahold of a major scale thematic motif which he clung to doggedly, weaving it rather sloppily between his vocal phrases. Then he took a solo. To suggest that Dylan plays electric guitar like a 10 year-old who has just discovered the instrument might be over-stating things. But not by much. Somehow, his halting, jagged phrasing and odd note choices combine to serve the songs very well. Dylan's playing is ragged, but right.
So, too, the voice - a devastated rasp that somehow lends a creepy verisimilitude to the songs themselves, to the point where it's safe to suggest that no other voice would serve the music as well.
After so many left turns and unexpected detours throughout the set, Dylan led the band onto firm ground to ride out the evening with the revered classics "Ballad Of A Thin Man," "Like A Rolling Stone," "All Along the Watchtower" - radically altered, of course, every damn one of them - and finally laid us gently down with an elegiac "Blowin' In the Wind."
This was, in all, the strongest show Dylan has played in the Western New York area since he opened for the Dead at Darien Lake a decade back. Roll on, Bob.

Of the anesthetic agents recently introduced into clinical practice, tribromethanol appears to be one of the most promising. The drug was first introduced in Germany nearly three years ago, and there are now from 300,000 to 400,000 cases in which it has been used. In spite of this fairly wide experience with it in Europe, there is still a great difference of opinion among clinicians regarding its usefulness.

WEST MICHIGAN — Sixteen convicted sex offenders in Oceana and Mason counties were checked and six arrested during a monthlong sweep conducted by State Police.
The convicted sex offenders were targeted by state troopers from the Hart Post for failing to change or verify their address by the state's Jan. 15 deadline, according to police.
The arrests resulted in criminal charges including failing to change address, a felony, and failing to comply with public sex offender registry duties, a misdemeanor.
Some offenders were arrested because they had outstanding warrants, police said.
According to the state's Sex Offender Registration Act, offenders convicted of a misdemeanor offense must report to a local law enforcement agency to verify their address annually from Jan. 1 to Jan. 15.
Felony offenders must report to a local law enforcement agency to verify their address quarterly during the first 15 days of January, April, July and October. Failure to do so can result in a 93-day misdemeanor and up to a four-year felony.
Convicted offenders must also report a change of address within 10 days of moving. Failure to do so is a four-year felony.
For more information visit the registry at www.mipsor.state.mi.us.

OLD FORT - The next time Old Fort coach Eric Hoover has his team do conditioning drills in practice, he might want to join in. If more thrillers like Friday's game against Carey are in the cards coming down the stretch, and into tournament time, Hoover could use the extra workouts.
The Stockaders' mentor met reporters Friday a bit out of breath but all smiles.
One last-second shot from Hunter Perry sent Friday's clash of Midland Athletic League unbeatens into overtime, where a second last-second shot - this time from Jon Lotycz - won it for Old Fort, 75-73.
Article Photos
Old Fort's Jon?Lotycz puts in the winning basket while being fouled by Carey's Bryan Powers in the final seconds of overtime Friday in Old?Fort.
"The kids, they just battled," Hoover said as his team improved to 13-4, 7-0 MAL. "We were in some tough spots there and they battled. They just kept believing that we could do it and made all the necessary plays to get it done."
Perry's accomplishments have been well documented. The senior came into the week leading the MAL in scoring (29.3 ppg) and third in rebounding (9.0 rpg). But, what sometimes gets overshadowed is the fact that Perry also leads the league in assists (5.7 apg).
While his scoring set his team up for a chance to win, his 35 points led everyone, it was his passing that delivered the victory.
After a Jared Wentling jumper put Carey up 73-70 with 1:20 to go in the extra session, Perry brought the ball up and with the defense converging on him, dished it off to a wide open Lotycz on the block. He got the basket and the foul. The free throw tied the game with 1:07 to play.
"Hunter, every team things he's our only man but we work as a team and we try to finish it out as a team," Lotycz said. "Hunter's a big part of our team to help us finish. He's very good at looking at open people. For last-minute shots, he puts it right through the smallest holes and gets it done."
Carey, though, had the chance to perhaps wait for the last shot, but Brad Bannister made sure that didn't happen. The Old Fort senior swiped the ball away from the Blue Devils, his sixth steal of the night, to set his team up for the chance to win.
Coming off a timeout with 15.4 seconds left, the play almost seemed a mirror image of the one the tied the game.
"I saw (Lotycz) come out and I'm like 'Oh, yes. Right there,'" Perry said. "Threw it right to Jon, ... I'm like, 'Thank you, God.' I had a good look at him and he finished it. It was a good play."
Perry delivered a perfect pass and Lotycz put in the winning points.
"Well, I knew we had to get a couple more points," Lotycz said. "I was going up for the layup. I held on to it, try and get a foul from him, and it worked out.
"It was just a reaction that I had that just took me there. I don't even know."
Carey coach C.J. Kin said the defensive plan was to make someone other than Perry take the final shot, although he wished it would've been a bit farther away from the hoop.
"We wanted to get the ball out of Perry's hands and we weren't disciplined enough staying inside," he said. "We wanted to play inside-out, force them to take the outside shot, other than the layup. We didn't rotate correctly and gave up an easy one."
Perry made another pass after the game, passing on the credit to Bannister and his defense for setting up the winning play, and making him the offensive threat he is.
"He's an amazing defender," Perry said. "That's why I get better because he defends me in practice. That's why I go out and score a lot. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be as good as I am."
"Brad, he's a pain in the butt on defense, I'll tell you what," Hoover added. "He can wreak some havoc out there and you wouldn't want him guarding you. I mean, he's just all over you, he's like a gnat everywhere."
The game was tied 12 times while the lead changed hands on eight occasions. Carey had a chance to lock up the game in regulation. The Blue Devils were down five with three minutes to play, but got a 3-pointer from Alex Distel, a free throw from Bryan Powers and finally a steal and fast break layup from Wentling to surge ahead.
They got up three in the final minute, but Old Fort clawed back. When Carey split a pair of free throws with eight seconds on the clock, it opened the door for Perry and the Stockaders.
Perry went coast-to-coast, laying in the tying basket to send a game that no neutral fan watching wanted to see end, into overtime.
"Two good teams, like a prize fight," Kin said. "We throw the punch, they make a response, come back. I knew it wasn't going to be a blowout either way it was going to be a tough game. It just came down to who made that last shot, and they did it."
Wentling came into the night second to Perry in the league's scoring race and tops in rebounding. He finished with 19 points and 15 rebounds. Powers led Carey (14-4, 7-1) with 25. Zach Boes also tossed in 18.
Perry finished three assists shy of a triple-double. He scored 35, pulled in 11 boards and dished out seven assists. But just like the Paul McCartney and John Lennon of the Beatles, he needed a little help from his friends.
He sure got it.
Maison Steyer backed Perry, scoring 17 points, 15 of which came in the third quarter.
After Perry scored 22 of his team's 28 before the break, the Carey defense began to clamp down, opening up things for Steyer.
"They were focused on me," Perry said. "They doubled me and I just kicked it out to my guys and they made the baskets. They did what they should do."
Steyer's huge quarter helped pulled Old Fort, down seven at the half, to a one-point advantage going to the fourth.
"I could just tell when he came out at the beginning of that third quarter there that he was determined to get it done," Hoover said of Steyer. "I know he's very capable. People probably underestimate what he can do. He had a good week of practice, finishing around the basket and really stepped up and made huge plays for us."
With his huge plays, Lotycz's huge plays and Bannister's huge defense backing up Perry's typical huge night, it's enough to leave any coach breathless.

This should tell you what kind of two weeks it's been around the A-T sports department.
I went out to talk to Buckeye Central coach Jason Ratliff on Wednesday night about his team's game with Bishop Rosecrans, and when the interview was done, we were chatting about a variety of things.
The subject of AP came up. For the bulk of my life, AP has meant the Associated Press, the press company that sets the standard for newspaper style across the world. It also provides copy for things from the Browns latest debacle to pictures of the winning catch in the Super Bowl.
In recent years, AP has come to mean Adrian Peterson, the Vikings running back who has continued to destroy teams with his explosive running style.
In the last couple of weeks, AP has come to mean something different. So as Ratliff and I are chatting and he casually mentions "AP," he was not talking about the media company or the Vikings running back but his senior wide receiver and jack-of-all-trades Adam Paynter. And without a thought, I knew exactly who he was talking about: one of the most humble high school athletes I've ever interviewed.
I wouldn't recommend starting him in your fantasy league this weekend, unless of course, you play in some high school playoff survivor pool. Then feel free. I think we're still going be still covering the BC football team this time next week.
And forgive me if somewhere in this column I say you should play Eric Hoover or Ashley Parker or Erica Weininger. Mohawk's volleyball team has dominated in its tournament run to the point it's making a trip to Dayton on Friday for its first ever state tourney appearance.
Needless to say, the tourney success of our area athletic teams has kept us busy, engaged and given us plenty of good stories to share with the readership.
One of the things that brought some levity to the crazy work week so far was the video that comedian Mike Polk posted on YouTube about the Browns (see this link: http://youtu.be/tRBDMMVctu8).
I think the line at the very end could sum up the thoughts of fans of other teams as well and even apply to your fantasy football team as well. It certainly would apply to my team in my longtime keeper league. After making it to the championship game five straight seasons, it's very likely I'll be on the outside looking in, thanks in part to the fabulous efforts of Philip Rivers and Peyton Hillis to name a few.
I mention it because in a lot of leagues the trade deadline is fast approaching and now is the time to start looking at those week 14-17 matchups and what players stand to have good matchups those weeks. We'll get into some of those players next week, but deadline decisions like that need to have some thought put into them or you risk damaging the future of your team.
My least favorite change in the NFL begins again this week with the start of Thursday games. From here on out, there will be a Thursday NFL game, which for some is exciting, for others, can be a pain in the neck. Oakland at San Diego opens the slate of games this weekend.
When Hillis isn't breaking the hearts of little kids, he must be driving the engine behind this trainwreck of a season for him. I said the other day that the moment a guy is named to the Madden cover that I own, I will trade him in a heartbeat. Hillis has done more to irritate Browns and fantasy football fans alike this year with his injuries, his excuses and his mentality. What a fall from grace. But think about this: what else do they have? While Hillis and Montario Hardesty have been ruled out for this week already, do you think the Browns best option for a productive running back is Chris Ogbonnaya? I think what's most frustrating for me as a Hillis owner is that last year he was like Optimus Prime, nothing could keep him down. This year he's embodied a Go-Bot. Having a Go-Bot as a kid meant one of two things: someone was cheap and didn't want to spend the money for a real Transformer or someone didn't like you that much. Hillis is definitely a Go-Bot this year.
Speaking of Go-Bots, Miles Austin is slated to miss a few more games and that gives fantasy owners good reason to pick up Laurent Robinson, who has transformed the added playing time in the last two weeks to 10 catches for 135 yards and two touchdowns.
While Matthew Stafford has tried his best to shake the Go-Bot mentality this year, his backfield mate, Jahvid Best has proven all that preseason hype was just that: Hype. Hefs definitely out again this week with a concussion and the Lions picked former teammate Kevin Smith off the scrapheap. If you pick him up at this point, you are either in an incredibly deep league or you are desperate for help. In either case, the end result does not bode well for you.

I caught a review of it the other day which was written by a female. She loved

The Eee would probably work better for some girls than for guys because it's
small (fits in a purse) and it's more like an accessory. Also, it's safe to

Having published our thoughts on the top players for you to be considering ahead of round 33 our attention now turns to that all important captain decision and this week's decision is getting any easier due to the somewhat shortened fixture week.
Nevertheless there are still quite a few choices for fantasy managers to consider ahead of the impending fixtures. While many managers may look to the obvious choices like van Persie or Suarez our coaches have come up with some alternative suggestions that not only have the potential to deliver but are also good shouts for a differential.
The first man on our list is Arsenal's Santi Cazorla, the Gunners midfielder has been on form in recent weeks and with a home game on the cards against Norwich he will be keen to add to his four goals and an assist in his last five home appearances. The Canaries defensive record of late on the road has been less than impressive and having conceded six goals in their last three away days Cazorla may well be on hand to add to that tally.
The second player on the list makes his first appearance in our captains tips this season having come to prominence in the last few weeks. Jay Rodriguez has had a huge impact on Southampton's recent good form having contributed three goals and two assists in his last three games. The Saints welcome West Ham to St Mary's this weekend and with both sides searching for the elusive three points that would seal their premier league survival this one promises to have plenty of chances for Rodriguez to capitalize on.
The final man on our captain's short list is Everton's Marouane Fellaini, the Everton midfielder makes his return to the starting line up having served a two match ban after picking up his tenth yellow of the season in round 30. Prior to his suspension he had picked up a goal and two assits in two games and with QPR making the trip to Merseyside this weekend the big Belgian is sure to chances against an R's side that have only managed two clean sheets on the road all season.
