This story has been updated to include a correction.
FLINT, Michigan — Just one day after a Flint police union endorsed mayoral candidate Dayne Walling, candidate Brenda Clack received words of support from the Genesee County Sheriff's Office.
As the pair battle it out to become the next mayor of Flint, public safety has moved to the forefront of the race. The election is Aug. 4.
Both Clack and Walling say they can't promise to bring back any of the dozens of Flint police and firefighters who were laid off this year because of the city's nearly $15-million deficit. Each candidate is rolling out a public safety strategy they say will maximize current staffing levels.
Both want to reactivate police ministations -- Walling wants one in every ward, while Clack wants them focused in public housing areas.
Clack, who was also endorsed Wednesday by former mayoral candidate Darryl Buchanan, wants to activate more block clubs, bring back police walking patrols and form a public safety task force with city police, the sheriff's department and state police.
She said she wants to reorganize patrol routes and schedules so more officers are patroling the side streets during typical high crime hours.
Capt. Chris Swanson, who said he was representing Sheriff Robert J. Pickell, said Clack had "great action plans."
"If a community is not safe, then nothing else will prosper," he said.
Walling said one way to improve public safety is by bringing more jobs and creating more opportunities for local youth.
The Flint Police Officers Association endorsed Walling on Tuesday. The group also endorsed him in 2007.
Keith Speer, president of the police officers union, said the group interviewed Walling and agreed with his platform. He said the group did not pin either candidate down on whether he or she would rehire police officers.
"We're confident his (Walling's) plan will maximize our resources," Speer said.
Walling said rehiring more police officers depends on federal grants and tax revenue coming in to the city.
"I've been honest with them that it's my goal to bring in the resources to be able to put more officers on the streets," he said. "But I'm cautious about what we're able to do in this economic climate."

Men's Golf Alum Eric Steger Takes Second at State Open
FISHERS, Ind. -- Former Ball State men's golfer Eric Steger placed second at this week's Indiana Open at The Hawthorns Golf & Country Club.
Steger's runner-up performance highlighted a tournament that saw 15 current or former Cardinals make the cut. Four more of those players -- Tony Lazzara, Tyler Merkel, Scott Pieri and C.D. Hockersmith -- finished in the top 20.
Steger, a 2011 graduate, climbed up the leaderboard by shooting in the 60s in both the second and third rounds before closing with an even-par 72 on Thursday. He pulled within one stroke of eventual champion Seth Fair at the turn before ending the final round where he started, four shots off the pace at 7-under for the tournament.
Lazzara, a recent graduate and a member of Ball State's 2013 NCAA tournament team, finished in a tie for ninth place at 1-over. He reached as high as third on the leaderboard at the conclusion of Wednesday's third round.
Merkel, a rising junior, bounced back from an opening-round 78 with three straight days of good golf to tie for 11th at 2-over. Pieri, who completed his Ball State career in 1990, tied with Merkel for 11th.
Hockersmith, who completed his Ball State career in 2007, turned in the lowest final round of any player in the field with a 68 to finish tied for 16th at 5-over.
Rising junior McCormick Clouser and incoming freshman Jon Schramm also made the cut along with Ball State alums Andrew Rhodes, Brodie Williams, Skip Runnels, Kyle Cox, Jon Hoover, Dean Prange and Bill Pollert.
Cox, who opened the tournament with a 68 to hold second place after day one, has had a good summer of golf. A 2007 Ball State graduate and the new head boys' basketball coach at Park Tudor High School, Cox won the Indiana Golf Association Public Links Championship last month.
McKinney Shows Well at North & South Amateur
Incoming Ball State freshman Keegan McKinney turned in a strong week at Pinehurst No. 1, finishing in a tie for 12th place at the 35th Junior North & South Amateur Championship.
McKinney closed the 54-hole tournament Thursday with his second straight round of 69 to finish 4-under par for the event. Will Blalock of Gastonia, N.C., won out in the field of 90 golfers by finishing at 15-under for the week.

Top 11 Important Car Seat Safety Tips for ToddlersBeth Anne Ballance
I say with fair confidence that the majority, if not all of us, reading this blog post use car seats for our toddlers. According to carseatsafety.org, "Kids should be in a carseat or booster until they can be seated properly in a seat belt. For most kids, this is around 8-12 years old or 4′ 9″ tall, but proper seatbelt fit is the most important factor."
Unless Britney Spears is reading this and trying to escape the paparazzi and if she is, then CALL ME, BRIT-BRIT! I LOVE YOU! ahem. Had to get that off my chest.
So we all use car seats to keep our kiddos protected in the event of a crash, but it's important to be sure that you are using the car seat correctly. I gathered information from my own experience, but mostly from Car-Safety.org and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They're the experts!
Car crashes are the number one killer of children 1 to 12 years old in the United States. The best way to protect them in the car is to put them in the right seat, at the right time, and use it the right way. — National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
A confession: For months, well on into Harrison's second year of life, I thought I was strapping him in correctly. But then with the help of a few friends, I learned that I wasn't. His chest strap was too low, he had extras in the car seat, etc. Which meant that Harrison wasn't as safe as he could be. I'm not a helicopter parent and I'm not a fear-mongerer, but I do believe strongly in following basic, easy safety guidelines when it comes to my kid staying alive. So I'd like to be that friend for you and give you tips to help make sure you are using the right seat, the right position, and the right technique for strapping down your most precious cargo:
Rear-facing is safest 1 of 11Rear-facing helps spread the impact of a crash throughout the chest and body, rather than taking it all in the neck and head, which is better for immature spines and large heads (like tots!). It used to be a rule that you could turn your child forward at 20 lbs or 1 years old, but now The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children be kept in rear-facing seats for at least 2 years (preferably until they outgrow the car seats rear-facing capabilities).
No coats! No coats! No coats! 2 of 11Look, I know it's cold in the winter, especially for you up North. But it is not safe to buckle the car seat over the coat. Options? Put the coat on backwards over the straps. Use a blanket. Preheat the car.
It should not shake more than 1 inch each way 3 of 11To be sure your seat is in correctly and tightly latched to the car, the seat should not move more than one inch in each direction. If it can, then tighten the tethers.
Know your strap slot height 4 of 11Rear-facing: Straps below or at shoulder level. Forward-facing: Straps above or at shoulder level. Tip: Buy a carseat that is easy to adjust the straps so that you don't find excuses not to make adjustments as the kid grows.
The chest clip should be at armpit level 5 of 11If it's down by the belly, it's wrong.
If it's been in a crash, throw it away 6 of 11If your seat is in a crash, then destroy it immediately and contact your insurance company; your plan should cover the cost of the new seat. This is an excellent argument for not buying used unless you know with 100% certainty that the seat was never, ever in a crash or even a fender bender. (and in MANY states and provinces, it's become illegal to sell or purchase a used car seat. BE SURE you check with your local laws.)
The straps should be snug 7 of 11Sometimes Harry complains that his are "too tight!" but I just say, "Sorry, bud." The straps should be snug enough that you cannot pinch any strap between your fingers.
Check the expiration date. 8 of 11Did you know that ALL car seats expire? The protections wear down with age in the heat of a car. Check the expiration date on your seat and toss it out if it's over.
Use the belt or LATCH system, but not both 9 of 11This is one time where doubling up does not equal better protection. Which system works best depends on your car, seat position, etc. Also, be sure to use the top tether when forward-facing.
Don't add any extras 10 of 11No extra pillows or toys attached to the seat. For example, a neck pillow bought separate from the car seat can become lodged in a position where the car seat cannot function properly to protect the child's neck and spine.
Have it inspected 11 of 11Most local hospitals and fire stations have car seat inspectors on site. Call ahead to make an appointment.

Joseph "Uncle Joe" Ligambi is a former bartender and suspected hit man who allegedly took control of the Philadelphia mob a decade ago.
No one in law enforcement - and few in the underworld - expected him to last this long.
He was, they pointed out, part of the Nicodemo "Little Nicky" Scarfo crime family, having been formally initiated - "made" - after the slaying of Frank "Frankie Flowers" D'Alfonso back in July 1985.
But he was never considered part of Scarfo's inner circle and never part of the mob hierarchy. In fact, before he was arrested in the D'Alfonso case, few outside of the South Philadelphia underworld had ever heard of him.

A farmer has 10 acres to plant in wheat and barley. He has to plant at least 7 acres. However, he has only $1200 to spend and each acre of wheat costs $200 to plant and each acre of barley costs $100 to plant. Moreover, the farmer has to get the planting done in 12 hours and it takes an hour to plant an acre of wheat and 2 hours to plant an acre of barley. If the profit is $500 per acre of wheat and $300 per acre of barley how many acres of each should be planted to maximize profit?

Digital Imaging (DI) produces photo printers for both theprofessional and consumer markets. The DI consumer divisionrecently introduced two photo printers that provide color printsrivaling those produced by a professional processing lab. TheDI-910 model can produce a 4 x 6 inch borderless print inapproximately 37 seconds. The more sophisticate and fasterDI-950 can even produce a 13 x 19 inch borderlessprint. Financial projections show profit contributions of $42for each DI-910 and $87 for each DI-950.
The printers are assembled, tested, and packaged atDI's plant located in New Bern, North Carolina. Thisplant is highly automated and uses two manufacturing lines toproduce the printers. Line 1 performs the assembly operationwith times of 3 minutes per DI-910 printer and 6 minutes per DI-950printer. Line 2 performs both the testing and packagingoperations. Times are 4 minutes per DI-910 printer and 2minutes per DI-950 printer. The shorter time for the DI-950printer is a result of its faster print speed. Bothmanufacturing lines are in operation one 8-hour shift perday.
1. The recommended number of units of each printer to produce tomaximize the total contribution to profit for an 8-hourshift. What reasons might management have for not implementingyour recommendation?
2. Suppose that management also states that the number of DI910printer produced must best at least as great as the number ofDI-950 units produced. Assuming that theobjective is to maximize the total contribution to profit for an8-hour shift, how many units of each printer should beproduced?
3. Does the solution you developed in part (2) balance the totaltime spent on line 1 and the total time spent on line2? Whymight this balance or lack of it be a concern tomanagement?
4. Management requested an expansion of the model in part (2)that would provide a better balance between the total time on line1 and the total time on line 2. Management wants to limit thedifference between the total time on line 1 and the total time online 2 to 30 minutes or less. If the objective is still tomaximize the total contribution to profit, how many units of eachprinter should be produced? What effect does this workloadbalancing have on total profit in part (2)?

Case Problem 2 - PRODUCTION STRATEGY
Better Fitness, Inc. (BFI), manufactures exercise equipment at its plant in Freeport, Long Island. It recently designed two universal weight machines for the home exercise market. Both machines use BFI-patented technology that provides the user with an extremely wide range of motion capability for each type of exercise performed. Until now, such capabilities have been available only on expensive weight machines used primarily by physical therapist.
At a recent trade show, demonstration of the machines resulted in significant dealer interest. In fact, the number of orders that BFI received at the trade show far exceeded its manufacturing capabilities for the number of orders that BFI received at the trade show far exceeded its manufacturing capabilities for the current production period. As a result, management decide to begin production of the two machines. The two machines, which BFI has named the BodyPlus 100 and the BodyPlus 200, require different amounts of resources to produce.
The BodyPlus 100 consists of a frame unit, a press station, and a pec-dec station. Each frame produced uses 4 hours of machining and welding time and 2 hours of painting and finishing time. Each press station requires 2 hours of machining and welding time and 1 hour of painting and finishing time, and each pec-dec station uses 2 hours of machining and welding time and 2 hours of painting and finishing time. In addition, 2 hours are spent assembling, testing, and packaging each BodyPlus 100. The raw material costs are $450 for each frame, $300 for each press station and $250 for each pec-dec station; packaging costs are estimated to be $50 per unit.
The BodyPlus 200 consists of a frame unit, a press station, a pec-dec station, and a leg-press station. Each frame produced uses 5 hours of machining and welding time and 4 hours of painting and finishing time. Each press station requires 3 hours machining and welding time and 2 hours of painting and finishing time, and each leg-press station requires 2 hours of machining and welding time and 2 hours of painting and finishing time. In addition, 2 hours are spent assembling, testing, and packaging each BodyPlus 200. The raw material costs are $650 for each frame, $400 for each press station, $250 for each pec-dec station, and $200 for each leg-press station; packaging costs are estimated to be $75 per unit.
For the next production period, management estimates that 600 hours of machining
And welding time, 450 hours of painting and finishing time, and 140 hours of assembly, testing, and packaging time will be available. Current labor costs are $20 per hour for machining and welding time, $15 per hour for painting and finishing time, and $12 per hour for assembly, testing and packaging time. The market in which the two machines must compete suggests a retail price of $2400 for the BodyPlus 100 and $3500 for the BodyPlus 200, although some flexibility may be available to BFI because of the unique capabilities of the new machines. Authorized BFI dealers can purchase machines for 70% of the suggested retail prices.
BFI's president believes that the unique capabilities of the BodyPlus 200 can help position BFI as one of the leaders in high-end exercise equipment. Consequently, he has stated that the number of units of the BodyPlus 200 produced must be least 25% of the total production.

Surratt and liberal rewards for any information that leads to the arrest of John H. Surratt." On November 24, 1865, President Johnson revoked the reward and published the revocation in the newspapers. Henry B. St. Marie learned of the reward but left for Rome prior to its revocation. In Rome, St. Marie discovered Surratt's whereabouts. In April, 1866 unaware that the reward had been revoked, he reported this information to U.S. officials. Based on this information Surratt was arrested. The government denied St. Marie the reward. Should Marie have received the reward? Explain. Be sure to include in the discussion any theories of recovery Marie would argue as well as those the government would use to defeat Marie. If Marie were to get the award, would he be entitled to the full $25,000? Explain. What if this had occurred in the year 2010 and the reward was published not in a newspaper but on the Internet as was the revocation. Would the result be the same? Would it be the same if the award was published on the Internet, but the revocation in the newspaper? Explain• Show less0 answers

Given that the question of open and closed systems is more of a continuum than a yes/no question, do you believe that more closed systems are better able to assess and improve their effectiveness in areas of internal systems and technology than more open systems are? That is, are open systems doomed to be so pre-occupied with keeping up with changes in their environment that they can never stick with anything long enough to get very, very good at it?

Simuflite, a Texas aviation training company, expected to whip the competition with FasTrakits computer-based training (CBT) curriculum for corporate pilots. Instead, the new venture sent Simuflite into a nose dive. An analysis revealed that in traditional ground-school training, pilots asked questions and learned from war stories told by classmates and instructors. However, with FasTrak, pilots sat in front of a computer for hours, trying to absorb information. Their only interaction was to tap the computer screen to provide answers to questions, and that novelty wore off quickly. Pilots soon got bored with the CBT ground school; as a result, it soon lost its effectiveness.

- In which situations is CBT most likely to be beneficial to the trainees?

Review the "You Be the Judge" case in chapter 9 entitled Demasse v. ITT Corporation. Answer the following questions about this case:
Did the emplyee handbook create a contractual promise? An enforceable promise? Should ITT have to honor the policy that layoffs would be done based on seniority? Why or why not? I am not asking for your opinion. Your answer should be based on what you know about contract law from chapter 9, so read the whole chapter before trying to answer this question. Include page number references to the text in your answers. In other words, I'm not interested in the actual resolution to this case, so don't bother looking it up online to find out.

Named for the goddess of the Ardennes forest in Belgian, this Belgian-style is our way of welcoming Spring. To create this unique beer we used Organic malted barley, white wheat malt, oats, maize and Belgian candy sugar. Subtle notes of citrus are added by the use of orange and lemon. Most of the character of this beer is thanks to the yeast, a strain from the Ardennes region of Belgium.Any other brewers wish to tip your hand?

Laurelwood's Entry: Saison d'Arduinna
In the Cheers to Belgian Beers competition, we have info on at least one entry, Laurelwood's Saison d'Adruinna. (Makes me feel prescient to have seen the possibilities of a saison in this yeast strain.) Brewer Chad Kennedy gives the lowdown:

India FI vs french
Ryz0n:I am not a kindergarten teacher. If you kids can't play nice, I will have to start kicking you out of the classroom.
Metis:I'm curious as to what shipment you sent that completely decimated an army of musketeers, skirmishers and cannon. It was hard to see in the recording but when they came out of the TC they killed everything your opponent had in about 30 seconds.
yes, fi urumi + masambar.... its an op unit
Nice one, but you would think that once you hit industrial and cease fire, he would figure out what you were going to do, and he would stand a better chance in an open field rather than by your tc. I guess he thought he could siege your TC before your shipment came... And I suppose that is what separates skill level... TC SIEGE FTW
okay, never stay close to an india in age 4 who is gonna send tht shipment lol.
But, he played so passively wtf. He should have made a stable once he saw you weren't rushing, or if he had 3 huss card he defs should have raided you. He also didn't seem to scout very well lol

Admirals S.C. to play in Richmond, Va., Saturday
Erie Admirals S.C. heads back on the road for its next National Premier Soccer League playoff match.
The fourth-seeded Admirals (9-3-3) travel to Richmond, Va., to face No. 1 RVA Football Club (8-0-2) Saturday in a 7:30 p.m. semifinal. They reached the final four for the third time in their five-year history with a 1-0 win in the Midwest Region final against the Quad City Eagles in Bettendorf, Iowa, this past weekend.
Defending national champion FC Lehigh Valley United Sonic (11-3-0), which earned the third seed after edging Greater Binghamton FC 1-0 in the Northeast Region title match this past Sunday, will head to Rohnert Park, Calif., to face the second-seeded Sonoma County Sol (10-0-3) in the other semifinal on Saturday at 10 p.m. at Rancho Cotate High School's Cougar Stadium. Sonoma County, which beat the Admirals in the 2009 national title match, advanced with a 3-1 win in extra time against the Sacramento Gold in the West Region final. The winners move on to the championship match Aug. 3 at a site and time to be determined.
As the lowest of four seeds, the Admirals cannot host the final.

On Valuable Things
It is a
to create a page
, particularly those which cost nothing and are openly accessible.
One may create personal shareable artifacts or artifactories upon which they will not place monetary value. They may consider them 1SimplyNotForSale1. While they may not be free, they may be made 1FreelyAvailable1. Some things should be owned by no one, but be reachable and usable by every one.
Much of what one may produce of value in ones employable lifetime may have been acquired via signed agreements by those who have employed or otherwise engaged them, it is also true that out of the same mind and mindset can come, particularly in later life, things which are, at least, or much more, valuable. These are things which they may hold as their own privately, or which they may choose to make available to others in an almost silent considerate open manner to those who may have interest in them.
The internet has made this a potential possiblilty, but not the only avenue of sharing of valuable things. The
paradigm is upon us because of a number of miniaturizations which have occured since the introduction of the semiconductor components based on early transistors and earlier electrical, magnetic, optic and atomic developments over the last 60 to 260 years. The paradigm under which this is occuring is in its early infancy. While the computer has been made smaller, it has also become more capable, wireless and inexpensive (therefore widely available). As a result of the laborious nature of work being automated. the mind and our thinking has been allowed the time-space to expand in acquiring and proliferating knowledge. This is particularly true for those who no longer are considered profitable by those concerned mainly with bottom-lines and economic efficiencies.
Is it now time to make unprofitable valuable things free? Some would SayWhy
, while others may say SayWhyNot
? Should knowledge, skill, notions and ideas have value only through franchise? You may answer these questions yourself though others may not come to the same conclusions. What will tell is what your actions are once you try to answer or try to ignore the questions.

The UGA Griffin Campus's new Bachelor of Arts (AB) Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) degree in the Social Sciences will allow students to pursue a Psychology Concentration or a Sociology Concentration. This degree program, offered by UGA's Franklin College of Arts & Sciences, prepares students for a wide range of career opportunities in a variety of settings, including administration, elder care services, management, government, adoption/child-care services, health services, law enforcement, human resources, community service, education, public relations, advertising/marketing, training, data analysis, and corporate communications. It also provides a solid foundation for students who plan to go on to law school or to graduate programs in counseling, social work, psychology, public administration, criminal justice, and advertising/marketing.
Students who enroll in our new AB/IDS degree program will enjoy the benefits of small class sizes and individual mentoring from faculty while earning a degree from one of the top 25 public research universities in the nation, the University of Georgia.
For more information, please contact Ms. Faye Chatman, Program Director, at 770-229-3016 or email@example.com.
Four seniors from the UGA Griffin campus will be recognized in the 2012 edition of Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. Two of them are students in the BS in Microbiology program: Marshall Prude, a senior from Atlanta, GA, who is a US Marine Corps veteran; and Rachel Mussell, a senior from Milner, GA, who has worked as the lab assistant for the BIOL 3110L and MIBO 3510L courses offered on the Griffin Campus and also works in an ear/nose/throat/allergist physician's office. Both Marshall and Rachel have maintained high grade point averages while being active and holding leadership roles in Griffin campus student organizations: Marshall is a member of the UGA Griffin Campus Student Advisory Council (SAC) and serves as president of the UGA Griffin Ambassadors; Rachel is a member of the UGA Griffin Campus Student Advisory Council.
Congratulations, and thank you for representing UGA and the Griffin campus in a way that makes us all proud!
Unlike the Franklin College of Arts & Sciences on the University
of Georgia (UGA) Athens Campus, which dates back to 1801, the Franklin
College on the UGA Griffin Campus is in its infancy. In fact, the
Franklin College-Griffin Campus officially opened its doors in August
2007, when it became part of UGA's 120-year history in Spalding
County, which began when the Georgia Experiment Station was established
in Griffin in 1888. In Fall Semester 2007, the Franklin College
began offering its first undergraduate degree program on the UGA
Griffin Campus: a degree-completion program leading to a Bachelor
of Science (BS) in Microbiology.
This program is designed for transfer students who have completed
at least 60 semester hours of course work and for students interested
in pursuing a second degree.
The BS degree with a major in Microbiology is a liberal arts degree
with the major course work concentrated in the biological sciences.
This degree prepares students for a number of careers and for advanced
studies. A bachelor's degree in microbiology provides students
a solid foundation for professional programs in veterinary medicine,
dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, etc., as well as for advanced degrees
in the biological sciences, for example, Master of Science (MS)
and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees.
We are pleased to have the opportunity to offer this degree-completion
program at the Griffin Campus in order to help residents of the
Griffin area meet their educational and career goals.
We are delighted to be a part of the UGA Griffin Campus and the
Griffin community and would be glad to help you learn more about
our BS in Microbiology degree program. Welcome!

Portland's Pittock Mansion marked its 100th anniversary this year. Over the next year, enjoy a special behind-the-ropes visual tour of this historic residence, inspecting, one at a time, each of the 23 public rooms (and maybe even some not-so-public spaces).
The home, in Portland's west hills, was finished in 1914 for Georgiana and Henry Pittock, one of the founding families in Oregon, and became a museum after it was rescued from destruction and bought by the City of Portland in 1964 for $225,000.
On this photo tour is the second-floor bedroom of Georgiana Pittock's orphaned nieces, Louise Gallien and Helen Van Houten, who shared this room.
The mansion's 1919 inventory of this room listed two enameled beds, a dressing table, a desk, a chiffonier, a dressing table chair, two chairs, a cushioned wicker chair, a green rug, and a pair of cretonne curtains with lambrequins (a short piece of decorative drapery hung over the top of a window).
But those furnishings are no longer in the mansion. The room has been redecorated with pieces acquired later and with green wallpaper, put up in the 1960s before the museum opened.
The nieces had fond memories of the Pittocks. When Louise was asked about Georgiana, she said, "She was nice to us children. She always gave us ten dollars at Christmas or our birthday, and we were allowed to do whatever we pleased with that." About Henry, she said, "I remember that uncle Henry had tickets to all the concerts that came to Portland. And he was always very generous about giving them to the rest of the family . . . and when the circus came to town, he always had tickets for all of us."
Both Henry and Georgiana lived to enjoy the luxuries of their new home for only a few years. Georgiana died in June 1918 and Henry died in January of 1919.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Alabama lost once this season, mostly because of what Texas A & M's Johnny Manziel was able to do to extend its defense.
Now Notre Dame is pinning much of its national title game hopes on the dual-threat skills of another redshirt freshman quarterback. The difference being, Everett Golson hasn't won a Heisman Trophy yet.
"Third downs were key for [A & M], and then [Manziel] ad-libbing a little bit," said Chuck Martin, Notre Dame's first-year offensive coordinator. "When things weren't there, he made three or four plays. So we're planning on [Golson] doing the same thing for us, that when we call a lousy play he just . . . makes something happen, which he has a tendency to do at times, which we really like."

Great moments in Masters history
Great moments in Masters history
Lucas Wiseman
USBC Communications
Published: January 29, 2010 |
The United States Bowling Congress Masters has a history that dates back to 1951 and over that time there have been many great moments.
Here's a look at some of the moments in Masters history that stand out:
1951 The Masters, held at Municipal Auditorium in St. Paul, Minn., started as an invitational event to showcase national and local bowling stars. Lee Jouglard of Detroit won the inaugural "Masters Eliminations" by defeating Chicagoan Joe Wilman before a crowd of 2,600. Jouglard earned $620 for the victory. The first Masters was conducted seven years before the formation of the Professional Bowlers Association.
1952 Willard Taylor, a 34-year-old plant operator from Charleston, W.Va., was a definite dark horse for the event in Milwaukee's Sports Arena. Taylor was an underdog but had the game to beat anyone on the final day as he upset New Jersey star Junie McMahon 904-751 in a four-game match to earn the right to face the legendary Andy Varipapa for the title. Taylor went on to do the unthinkable -- defeating Varipapa in two consecutive four-game matches, 834-792 and 756-702, to win the Masters trophy and $950 first prize.
1957 Held in the Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas, Dick Hoover of Akron, Ohio, became the Masters' first repeat winner. Coming from the loser's bracket, Hoover defeated Bill Lillard in two consecutive four-game matches -- 910-768 and 853-773 -- to win the $1,900 first prize.
1961 In 1961 Dick Hoover could have been the Masters' first three-time winner had it not been for Don Carter. Held at Detroit's Cobo Hall, Carter advanced from the loser's bracket to beat an undefeated Hoover in two consecutive four-game matches, 840-768 and 888-826, to win the 11th annual event.
1971 In its return to Detroit's Cobo Hall, pro star Jim Godman had what has been heralded as the greatest overall performance in Masters' history. He came out of the loser's bracket to defeat fellow pro Don Johnson in two four-game matches. Averaging a then-record 229.8 in match play, Godman rolled the first perfect game in a championship finale en route to defeating Johnson 992-864 and 922-880 to win the 21st Masters.
1978 While many of bowling's all-time greats have won the Masters, many relatively unknown bowlers also have made their mark by winning the event. One of the great upsets in Masters' history occurred in St. Louis' Cervantes Convention Center when struggling touring pro Frank Ellenburg of Mesa, Ariz., came out of the loser's bracket to defeat Earl Anthony twice to win the 1978 event. Ellenburg narrowly defeated Anthony in the first four-game match 820-817, and then 805-791, in the championship match for the title.
1984 The Masters was always one of Earl Anthony's favorite events, so much so that he came out of his year-long retirement from the PBA Tour to bowl in the 1984 event in Reno, Nev. Anthony won his second Masters title that year by defeating fellow pro Gil Sliker of Washington, N.J., in the championship match 191-175 at the Reno Convention Center.
1987 After the formation of the PBA in 1958, Rick Steelsmith of Wichita, Kan., became the first Masters amateur champion in 1987. The second youngest Masters champion at age 22, Steelsmith defeated Brad Snell of Chicago 258-219 in the championship match at the Niagara Falls Convention Center to win the $43,500 first prize.
1998 Mike Aulby won a record third Masters title by defeating fellow Hall of Famer and lefthander Parker Bohn III 224-192 at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev. In the semifinal match, Bohn threw a 300 game to become the 12th PBA member to bowl a nationally-televised perfect game. It also was the second televised 300 game in Masters history, a feat first performed by Jason Queen in the semifinals of the 1997 Masters.
2001 Like golf's Phil Mickelson, Parker Bohn III had a reputation for falling short in major events. That changed when Bohn won his first major by taking the Masters title at Reno's National Bowling Stadium. His Masters win came after 26 regular tour titles and 18 years on tour. He defeated Jason Couch, 248-237, in the title match.
2009 John Nolen wasn't exactly a household name, although he had won the PBA Regional Players Invitational two months earlier. He led qualifying and went 7-0 in match play to reach the title match against Danny Wiseman. The title came down to the last frame and Nolen could only watch as Wiseman needed strike, nine, spare to tie, or could win with two strikes. But on his first shot, Wiseman left a 10 pin and Nolen took a 202-193 victory.

text: I didn't know where else to put this so I put it here. I have a "Master Bend" exhaust bender I am wanting to get rid of. It has all the dies up to 3". I bought it used and have never used it myself. I did wire it up (220 single phase) to make sure it worked. I truned it on and the ram extented and did not return. I checked all the switchs and they all checked fine. I am thinking it is a valve sticking or something along those lines. I can email pictures if you like. I would either like to sell it or maybe concider a trade for some sheetmetal equipment, Like an E-wheel or some other equipment. I am open. I just don't do any exhaust work and I already have a bender for my roll bar tubing. Don't really need another. The company that makes these benders use them in building Playground equipment and things along those lines. This is a very well built machine. It also has aux. connectors for hooking up other pieces of Hyd equipment to be run off of its pump.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Whimsical, Funky
What materials did you use? Kreinik Silk Serica, Just Our Yarn Aziza (tencel), Glass, Wood and Resin Beads
What are you most proud of? This was a real departure for me. Always scary to attempt something new, but so worth it. As they say, go big or go home! ;-)
Thanks Bianca. Ah, organic!! Maybe the nicest compliment this pathologically symmetrical girl could hear. Just trying to demonstrate that there are endless way to think of using these beads in addition to the ways we've already thought of. Let's ALL be brave! What have we got to lose?
Can I ask what you used as the "string" for this necklace? And, the seed beads at the bottom of the knitted beads...are those to hold the bead in place? Lastly, is there something in the center of the cluster to make it larger or is it just pulled together sort of like a pom pom?
Oh Marly, Marly, Marly..... You know I love you to pieces :-) But this necklace is part of my one-of-a-kind Studio B collection and I don't share information about construction or the materials in these pieces. However, knowing you, I'm sure you'll have fun playing with this as inspiration (which was my intention in posting the image of the piece in the first place) and you'll make it all your own. You go girl! Can't wait to see what results. ;-)
Beautiful!! My only question is...How heavy is it?
Hi Cathleen! One of the wonderful things about these bead knitted beads is that they are SO light in weight! Yes, there are a lot of them in this piece but I know you'd be surprised to pick it up and see just how weightless it is given how substantive it appears. Also, the other non-knitted beads you see in this piece are made of resin, another very light weight product. So, if you are thoughtful, you can use TONS of beads and still have a very wearable piece of jewelry.
Betsy, I fell in love with this necklace all over again after seeing it this weekend ;-) You are so GOOD!
Betsy, this is really one of my favorites--I loved seeing it up close this weekend--even more stunning in person. Danielle
Thanks Danielle! I'm always happy to have you in class. Your beautiful work inspires other students and reassures them that they too can create wonderful bead knitted pieces.

Debian Squeeze live Alpha 2 image — I like it
I love the fact that I can sort of follow along as Debian Squeeze makes its way from Testing to Stable with the excellent images from the Debian Live project.
As I've written somewhat recently, one of the great things about the Debian Live images for Squeeze is that there's one for PowerPC. Too bad I've already dumped my Apple G4 …
For i386, I was impressed with the Alpha 1 system, and today I just burned and tried the Debian Live Alpha 2 image for i386 on the Lenovo G555 laptop.
The vanilla GNOME looks great. I can confirm that the way Debian configures the fonts is exactly the way I like them. Under System – Appearance – Fonts:
Rendering: Best Shapes
Then under Details:
Resolution: 96 dots per inch
This makes the way fonts look exactly how I like them to look in such GNOME applications as Gedit and the GNOME Terminal.

eBay is eliminating the "Featured First" ad program for UK sellers, but it will continue to charge sellers who purchase it for the next 2 weeks. eBay eliminated the feature in the U.S. 2 years ago.
As eBay had previously announced in the autumn Business Seller News, Featured First will no longer be visible in search results on eBay.co.uk as of Thursday evening. "Unfortunately," eBay informed sellers, "it may still be possible to purchase Featured First when listing an item until the week commencing 10 October. However, as Featured First won't be visible in search results, we would advise you not to choose this option."
The good news - "If you inadvertently purchase Featured First during this time, you'll receive a full fee credit. We apologise for this inconvenience and thank you for selling on eBay."
Sellers used Featured First to increase their chances of getting a boost in search visibility - eBay described the feature as follows: "Each time a user enters search criteria that may result in your listing appearing in the search results, there is a chance that your listing will appear on the first page of search results in the Featured Items section if you purchase Featured First."
eBay said it was eliminating Featured First because "eBay Top-rated sellers already enjoy a boost in Best Match search. This makes Featured First less relevant to our sellers," and advised sellers, "To get the best position for your items in search results, follow our guide to good listing practice."

1920 Brooklyn Dodgers World Series Press Pin
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $1,508.00
Exceptionally high-grade example of this early press pin rarity. The bright red enamel border reads "World Series" and "1920" in gold lettering, and surrounds a concave baseball design in gold which reads "Brooklyn." The red enamel band of the design is without flaws, with no wear or scratching as is usually found with this pin. The convex design of the center of this pin usually makes the gold center section susceptible to much wear and scratching; on this example the wear is minimal. This is certainly one of the finest examples of this rare press pin we have ever seen, and is worthy of inclusion in the most advanced press pin collection. The reverse has the rare clasp pin backing and is stamped "Dieges & Clust." Nr/Mt condition. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $1,508.00

The Air Park Fire burning south of Durango, Colo., has burned 499 acres and is now five percent contained.
The Air Park Fire started about one mile southwest of Animas Air Park, where a lightening strike hit during a thunderstorm Saturday night.
Late Monday rainfall decreased fire activity across much of the area. The rainfall also caused firefighters to pull off the fire, but not before they were able to secure the north end of the fire.
All pre-evacuation notices that were given to residents in the area have been lifted.
There have been no injuries or accidents reported.

Risky Business
Frank Sinatra Jr.'s Kidnapper Did More Than Simply Survive
"I can see Junior looking at the bullets," says Keenan, now 57, recalling how he waved a revolver in the face of the singer's only son, then 20 and on tour singing in nightclubs. To appreciate Keenan's power trip, consider that to many Americans then, Frank Sinatra, who died May 14, was a vaguely sinister god in a fedora—the one star whose kid you wouldn't dare nap. But Keenan, a school chum of Sinatra's daughter Nancy, thought he had the angles figured. He would "borrow" Frank Jr., invest the ransom and repay Sinatra—with interest. "In my demented state," he says, "I saw it as a business deal."
The kidnapping itself, one of the most sensational since the Lindbergh baby's, was a fiasco. After Frank Jr.'s safe return, most of the ransom was recovered, and Keenan and his two accomplices got life sentences (a term later reduced for complex technical reasons to 12 years). But when he was paroled four years later—the others had already been released—Keenan went through an impressive transformation, morphing from a hapless con to a wealthy entrepreneur. Sobering up, he made, lost, then remade millions as a real estate developer and consultant specializing in resorts and casinos, mostly in the Southwest. He also developed drug-and-alcohol rehab centers and spoke against substance abuse to youth groups.
Not everyone is impressed by Keenan's comeback. "He should still be in the slammer," says Jim Mahoney, Frank Sr.'s former publicist. Others are more forgiving. "He made a mistake," says Long Beach Community College District police chief Michael D. Hole, a friend of Keenan's. "But he is an example of people who can turn their life around."
Recognition of a sort came this year, when Columbia Pictures gave Keenan $1.5 million for the rights to make his story into a 1999 film by Betty Thomas, director of Howard Stern's Private Parts. Frank Jr., now 55, has met with his lawyers to see what steps might be taken to ensure that his abductor doesn't make money from the film, but he needn't fret. Keenan plans to donate his fee to nonprofits, including the Salvation Army and Alcoholics Anonymous. Both his parents—John, a stockbroker, and Mary—were alcoholics.
It wasn't supposed to be such a rocky road for Keenan. As a youth, he lived a life of privilege and promise—one of his best friends was Dean Torrence of Jan and Dean pop-music fame. Sometimes Nancy Sinatra invited him to her Bel Air home. "Frank Sr. was always nice," says Keenan, who said a prayer for Sinatra when he learned of his death.
A UCLA dropout, Keenan became, at 21, the youngest member of the L.A. Stock Exchange. But after a 1961 car accident in which he injured his back, he became addicted to the painkiller Percodan and lost his job. Around that time his father suffered financial setbacks, and his mother tried suicide. "I decided to take care of their problems," Keenan says. "I'd give them money." Crime seemed a quick fix, and he settled on kidnapping. But who to snatch? He prayed for inspiration and got it.
"I knew Frank Jr. had been in boarding school and wasn't close to his father," says Keenan, who had never met this younger Sinatra. His drug-addled rationalization: "A kidnapping would draw them closer." Needing cash to fund the scheme, Keenan went to Torrence, then flush from the hit single "Surf City." " 'I'll give you $500, because that's one of the most creative stories I've ever heard,' " Torrence recalls telling him. "I shrugged it off as a fantasy."
Keenan then recruited his friend Joe Amsler, an aspiring boxer, and John Irwin, his mother's ex-boyfriend. On Dec. 8, posing as room-service waiters at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe, where Frank Jr. was performing, Keenan and Amsler entered room 417. Hustling Junior to their rented car, they drove to L.A. and phoned Frank Sr., who was waiting in Reno. "He was a nervous wreck," recalls publicist Mahoney. Frank Sr. paid the $240,000 ransom, which an FBI agent dropped off in L.A. between two parked school buses. But before Keenan picked up the loot, Irwin panicked and released Frank Jr.
At his trial, Keenan tried to portray the crime as a publicity stunt to boost Frank Jr.'s career. The jury didn't buy it, but the lie lingers in public memory. "It is one of my biggest regrets," says Keenan. "Junior has lived with the stigma the rest of his life."
After Keenan's 1968 release from the maximum security prison at Lompoc, Calif., Torrence treated him to a fund-raiser. "I'd always believed in him," says the singer, now his partner in a chain of burger joints. Keenan used the $18,000 stake to start Golden West Properties, developing office buildings, apartments and a recreational vehicle park in Reno. But he was still drinking and abusing prescription drugs. Salvation came in the form of developer Bob White, his wife, Marce, and their twin daughters Susan and Sasha. Keenan met them in the late '70s in Lake Whitney, Texas, where he developed White Bluff Ranch, a resort community. The Whites became Keenan's surrogate family—in fact he married Sasha, now 51, in 1980. "I didn't know he kidnapped Frank Sinatra Jr.," she says. "I just thought he was this handsome, charismatic go-getter." The marriage, Keenan's second of three (all of which ended in divorce), lasted only three years, but he remains close to Sasha and her family. Keenan even joined the Chapel of Light, a New Age spiritual center founded by Sasha's mother, who helped persuade him to join a 12-step group in 1986.
By then, Keenan had made and lost $17 million. Once again he started over. In 1988, Keenan began consulting for L.A.'s Commerce Casino, "the world's largest card club." He now has projects in Texas—pending the approval of legalized gambling—and one in Biloxi, Miss.
These days, Keenan splits his time between a country house in Biloxi, Lake Whitney and L.A., where he has several times run into Frank Sinatra Jr. at cocktail parties. "We do not speak," Keenan says. "I feel if he wanted to talk to me, he would come up and say something. I respect his space."

Rio Strip Bar (Prague, Czech Republic)
5 comments:
- AnonymousFebruary 17, 2013 at 9:02 AM
We've been there with my friend and it was total rip of. Girls forced us to go up and that was talks only (not even naked) for 10000 per hour for each of us. At the end when we spent more than 130000 for one evening without sex we've been out of cash and host called us cheap for not giving her asked tips on top of 500 another drink we've been forced again. Excuse from manager was - we already closed, so no complaints to service. Girls were nice and chat was good, no complaints, but management is awful - they really don't want to see you again.ReplyDelete

I really must disagree with you. I find it to be a quite nice place, but with one or two annoying girls. Surely you must understand that going to a strip club will cost you money and part of their job is to try to rip you off. It's part of the game. Don't try telling me that this is the only strip club in the World thats main objective is to come over the guests money in an efficient way. Were you born on the barn yard??ReplyDeleteReplies
Part of their job is to separate you from as much of your money as possible, but they'll try to make sure that you have a good time and get some value for your money so that you'll return at a good club. That isn't the case at Rio at all. Of the several hundred clubs that I've visited across over a dozen countries on three continents, Rio is quite possibly the biggest scam joint. Even if you inexplicably don't mind being ripped off, there are so many good clubs in Prague that there's no reason to ever go to Rio.Delete

If this were the sort of book to have a subtitle, then its subtitle would have been The Real Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. Promising to be somewhere between a key to the semi-autobiographical Oranges (did Mrs Winterson really exorcise her daughter?) and a director's cut, this book was an exciting prospect for committed fans. And a worrying one for anyone (like me) sated by the original and the hoopla that attended it.
But not to worry. Yes, it does all that committed fans might hope. And yes, the real Mrs Winterson did indeed try to exorcise Jeanette. But

Tonight sets to be another step forward for the bantamweights to gain the recognition they deserve when perennial bantamweight kingpin, Dominick Cruz, takes on the UFC's littlest fighter, Demetrious Johnson.
UFC Live Cruz vs. Johnson will feature the first UFC title fight to air on Versus and will also be the first title fight to air free since Quinton "Rampage" Jackson versus Dan Henderson at UFC 75.
Along with the big title fight between Cruz and Johnson will be the co-main event which is the biggest height difference for any fight the UFC has ever had.
The human skyscraper, Stefan Struve, will face former kickboxer, Pat Barry. Both fighters are coming off of knockout losses in their previous fights and will most likely see another early finish in this fight.
Along with these fights will also be a welterweight battle between Anthony "Rumble" Johnson against Charlie Brenneman and a lightweight battle between Matt Wiman and Mac Danzig.
