Mexican researchers have reconstructed the political, economic, religious and cultural life of the ancient Mayan capital of Palenque on the basis of inscriptions left behind by its governing caste, the National Institute of Anthropology and History, or INAH, said Wednesday.
The governing caste of Palenque, from its first ruler, or Ajaw, to the last, left written testimony of dates, myths, births, deaths and battles, the INAH said in a statement.
The researchers traced the history of the nobility of Palenque, which was located in what today is the southeastern Mexican state of Chiapas and reached its peak in the 7th century, by deciphering what its 18 rulers left inscribed on stelae, lintels, panels and structures decorated with mural painting and reliefs.
The information obtained by deciphering these glyphic texts has been compiled in the book "'Palenque-Lakam Ha,' an Immortal Presence of the Indigenous Past," by experts Mercedes de la Garza, Martha Cuevas Garcia and Guillermo Bernal Romero.
The inhabitants of Palenque, a significant western capital of the Early Classic Maya period, called the city "Lakam Ha," or "Place of the Great Waters," because of its numerous springs, streams and wide cascades. EFE

If you think for a moment that you had a hard childhood, read this memoir. Mrs. Winterson, as Jeanette calls her adopted mother throughout this account, was incredibly tough, and often cruel. Routinely, she locked her young child out all night, so that Jeanette sat frozen huddled on the front stoop until her dad came home from his overnight shift. Other punishments included being locked in the coal bin and forbidden food. Repeatedly, Mrs. W. told Jeanette that the devil sent her to the wrong crib when she chose Jeanette for adoption. Even food was a scarce commodity in the Winterson home. When Jeannette attended the grammar school for older kids, her mother never applied for the lunch program even though they were poor and ran out of food and gas (to cook it) each Thursday before payday.
Books were not allowed, and when Jeanette became a teenager and found a job, Heaven was a bookshop filled with thousands of books. She brought a few home every week and hid them in the only place her mother would not check--under the mattress. Alas, one night a copy of D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love slipped over the

In most countries (I'm open to counter-examples) a president is expected to be above the fray of party politics. If picking a sitting minister is a serious possibility, then it's clearly not a consideration in Germany
We would expect them to switch to presidential mode the moment they are elected. If they don't manage that, we could try to force them to resign. By the way, all our presidents with only one exception were catastrophes.
And I have no idea why the SPD or Grünen would contribute to electing a CDU partisan
Because they can't dream of a majority without Die Linke. And a coalition with Die Linke is impossible because all members of that party are dirty and stink, and are stalinists, and eat babies for breakfast. So, Greens OR SPD can form a coalition with the CDU but not with each other.
That would be Heinemann?
On the other hand, I have no idea if the amnesia of both father and son was a deliberate ploy, or a shared state of denial.
When I say it makes no difference to the case, I meant the case whether Richard von W should be president again. He shouldn't (quite apart from his advanced age).

"I'm convinced it's a gateway drug," said Clarkston Police D.A.R.E. Officer John Morbeck.
If Washington voters decide to vote 'yes' for Initiative-502 next week, it'll no longer be a crime for adults 21 and over to possess up to one ounce of marijuana for personal use. It's a convoluted issue that has many voters torn. Campaign Director Alison Holcomb of New Approach Washington, a group supporting the initiative, says the Prohibition Act of the 1920's is a common parallel that's been used for the legalization of marijuana.
"So what we're seeing is essentially a parallel to what happened with alcohol prohibition," said Holcomb. "We have a huge demand for this product that we have turned into a black market commodity and that's actually introducing more violence and less control into our communities."
Clarkston Police Department D.A.R.E. Officer John Morbeck opposes I-502 and believes that lifting restrictions will be harmful to society.
"Prohibition people talk about how bad that was, what a failure it was, but if you look at the actual usage of alcohol at that time, it was at an all time low," said Morbeck.
Another argument that's used against the proliferation of marijuana is how it leads people to use harder drugs like Heroin, Methamphetamine and Cocaine because they become de-sensitized to illegal activity.
"I had a judge speak at one of my D.A.R.E. graduations and he talked about the hundreds of cases that go through his court and out of all those cases maybe two people didn't start by smoking marijuana," said Morbeck.
"By separating marijuana from those harder drugs and bringing it under control in regulation we can actually create a wall and that would be a better strategy for preventing the harms that come along with people using those harder substances," said Holcomb.
If the initiative is passed, Holcomb says stores modeled after old Washington liquor stores will be opened. Simple signage, distance from schools and one-way windows are a few of the restrictions these stores will face. But even if it passes, it'll still be illegal under the laws of the federal government.
"Federal people can step in and arrest anybody at any time for possession of marijuana," said Morbeck.
"What's important is to keep in mind where federal law enforcement agents are deployed," said Holcomb. "They're really focused on large, multinational criminal organizations as a prioritization issue."
Holcomb says billions of dollars are funneled every year to violent criminal organizations that are responsible for over 55,000 men, women and children killed in Mexico due to drug-related activity.
A couple proponents who've endorsed the issue include King County Sheriff Steve Strachan, and former U.S. Attorney John McKay. Some opponents include the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs and Head of the Snohomish County Drug Task Force Pat Slack.

"I was planning a Saturday massacre," she wrote, "but had to wait on the waiting period…I offed Beau on the way to practice. There was a shot to his mouth, because he became so mouthy, just like Calyx. Calyx drove me to drink."
The onetime soccer mom, 53, now looks a decade older than in 2011, when she shot 16-year-old daughter Calyx and 13-year-old son Beau in their upscale Tampa neighborhood. Gone are the skinny jeans and blonde highlights, replaced with a fuchsia and black pantsuit, thick eyeglasses, and brown hair tied up in a loose bun.
Opening statements began Monday in the Tampa, Florida, courtroom in Schenecker's murder trial with the prosecution's dramatic reading from her diary. Since both sides agree that she pulled the trigger, the jury must decide the critical question of why she did it.
Was it, as prosecutors allege, a calculated murder by a narcissist whose marriage was crumbling? Or was she, as the defense contends, a bipolar woman whose mental illness finally got the better of her?
Either way, the trial promises to be a gut-wrenching ordeal. "It has been a long, long road to get to today," her ex-husband, Parker Schenecker, said before opening statements began. "Today and for the next couple of weeks, the focus is really on hearing Calyx and Beau's voices."
A Planned Pair of Killings?On a sunny Saturday in January 2011, Schenecker took her son to soccer practice. After leaving the field, Schenecker – who had spent 10 years in the military – drove 40 miles to a gun store where she selected a .38 revolver and hollow point bullets. Appearing pleasant and relaxed, Schenecker chatted amiably with the clerk.
For the next few days, Schenecker's life seemed normal. She drove her children to school and made their favorite dinners. She sent breezy emails to her family, including Parker, an Army colonel who was deployed to Qatar. But then, after the mandatory five-day waiting period was over, she used the gun to kill her two children. When the children were dead, she put a Post-it note on the door, telling the people from her carpool group that the family had gone on a trip to New York.
In laying out the case against Schenecker, prosecutors allege the killings were planned. "She had a bad relationship with her husband and a bad relationship with her children," prosecutor Stephen Udagawa told the jury. "She was angry. She perceived her husband wanted a divorce. She was calculated."
In the journal, she addresses her ex-husband: "I could have done this anytime, even when you were here," she wrote. "I might have taken you out, too. That would be a crying shame."
As Udagawa read from Schenecker's journal, the 12 jurors and four alternates listened with rapt attention. They stared at Schenecker, but she would not meet their gaze.
Judge Emmett Battles had informed the jury that Schenecker was on "psychotropic drugs" and that they were not to allow her demeanor to shape their verdicts.
Insanity DefenseAnd when defense attorney Jennifer Spradley addressed the jury, she focused on Schenecker's mental state, but had a decidedly different take than the prosecution. "This is a tale of two mothers," she told jurors. "She was sick. She battled depression. The disease transformed Ms. Schenecker's life."
Spradley presented some surprises, causing a few of the jurors to take notes. "She was molested at 6 years old, and she testified in the trial," she said. "She was again sexually assaulted at age 17. She left the military after 10 years because depression was kicking in and because she wanted to start a family. She wanted to have six children, but Parker wanted to have two. After Beau was born, Parker had a vasectomy; she always wanted to have more children."
"It tore her to her soul," continued Spradley. "A mother and former soldier lost her battle with chronic mental illness. It took everything from her, including her children."
Schenecker faces two counts of first-degree murder. If she is convicted, she faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison. Her trial is expected to last two weeks.
Parker Schenecker told PEOPLE in 2011 that the family had been dealing with her illness for more than 20 years. "My wife suffered from clinical depression," he said at the time.
But to use the insanity defense, her lawyers have to prove more than depression. They have to convince the jury that Schenecker didn't know right from wrong at the time of the killings, usually a difficult task in trials and particularly in this one. Immediately after the shooting, Schenecker told police, "This is the worst thing I've ever done. I feel just horrible."

Harry Potter. . . . Bella Swan. . . . Katniss Everdeen?
If the bespectacled boy wizard of the Harry Potter books and films and the sulky high schooler-turned-vampire-wife of the Twilight Saga have long been imprinted in the collective consciousness, is it now time for the teenage heroine of The Hunger Games to join them?
With the Suzanne Collins book perched atop the children's and young-adult best-seller lists pretty much since its publication in late 2008, and with advance ticket sales for the $100 million Lionsgate film adaptation - opening at Friday - outpacing the inaugural Harry Potter, there are strong indications that Ms. Everdeen is indeed heading for that rarefied realm of pop iconography.

Lost Luggage Mishap Helps Sink Drug Ring
Travel Blog • Eva Holland • 09.23.10 | 3:50 PM ET
Twenty-two people have been charged with conspiring to shift cocaine from California to Pennsylvania by domestic air carrier—and it looks like a misdirected luggage incident may have helped bring them down. From the AP:
Ruben Mitchell, of Stockton, Calif., lost track of more than 40 pounds of cocaine in a misdirected piece of luggage during a Pittsburgh-bound Southwest Airlines Inc. flight last year, prosecutors said.
Mitchell had the drugs in a carry-on bag when he boarded the flight on Feb. 19, 2009, but a flight attendant put the bag in the plane's cargo hold because it wouldn't fit in an overhead luggage compartment, they said. The bag then was mistakenly unloaded during a layover in Las Vegas, and Mitchell later filed a lost-baggage claim for it after arriving in Pittsburgh, they said.
What's next? Bank robbers' getaway foiled by tarmac stranding? Counterfeiters snared by $7 blanket fee?
3 Comments for Lost Luggage Mishap Helps Sink Drug Ring

Its a bit strange that they should try to move it through domestic air. Might suggest that they have been hugely successful using the easy ways… A bit surprising.

Its a bit amusing, seeing how they could afford to move drugs via domestic carriers. Anyway, its good they have been caught. Do you want to do a guest post at my site vagobond.com? My readers would be informed by posts like these. http://www.vagobond.com

Domestic air through hand luggage… this draws the obvious question is how secure is security at airports? This incident tells us that people are still going through security and not getting caught and the only reason why this guys was caught was due to mishandling of his luggage.

In this movie we are going to talk about another view mode. It's called the Bridge Slideshow. Now, in order to show the slideshow, I'm going to select a few images and again I'm working from the 07_08_bridge folder, subfolder snow_camping. Now, I want to select all of these images, so I'll click on one of them and then press Command+A on a Mac/Ctrl+A on a PC. Now, that I have all of the images selected and also, as a side note, you don't have to select all of the images. I have done that because I only have ten, and it will be kind of fun to show these images. So after I've selected all of those images or you've selected multiple images, you want to navigate to the View pulldown menu and then choose Slideshow or you can press the shortcut key Command+L to open up the slideshow. So go ahead and click on that option and now here I'm on the slideshow.
Now, a couple of things about the slideshow. It's automatically playing for me, and I haven't been able to dial-in any settings,and I don't really know how this actually works. So I'm going to go ahead and press the Spacebar key and the Spacebar will pause or play your slideshow. Important shortcut, right? The other shortcut that is important that you want to write down is the same shortcut that we used in that Bridge Review mode; it's the H key. Now, the H key will show all the slideshow commands and again, they are broken up into General, Navigation and Editing. General, Escape to Exit the Slideshow. Okay, got it. L, Slideshow Options, that's going to be very helpful. B for Blank or Unblank. I'll go ahead and press that. What that does is it allows me to start off my slideshow presentation with a blank slide. You know there is times where you don't want an image visible, so you press that B again, and it will then unblank that so you can kick off your slideshow.
Now Spacebar we've already talked about. That gives you the ability to Pause or Play, and then Plus or Minus allows you to zoom-in on the image show. I can then go ahead and zoom in or out on the image. Here I'm zoomed-in into 200 or 400%, and these are all small JPEGs. So when I zoom-in, of course I'm going to see some artifact. All right, well let's press the H key to bring back the Slideshow commands. I then have some Navigation options, which are pretty straightforward. I can use my different Arrow keys. I also have the ability to add some editing. We've seen this before right? Rotation, setting a rating or a label, we can determine a file as a reject, decrease or increase the rating, open the file in Camera RAW or open it in Photoshop.
Again, all of these shortcuts are very similar, if not almost completely identical to the Bridge Review mode and that's kind of nice. Now, the one thing that's different is the Slideshow Option. So I'll press the L key to open up my Slideshow options. Let's go through these, we have Display Options, Slide Options, and Transition Options. Display options. I can black out additional monitors if I have another monitor. That way it will remove any competing light. Repeat the Slideshow, if I want it to auto-repeat and keep going. Zoom Back And Forth in my opinion doesn't work very well, so I wouldn't choose that option. It just kind of zooms your images in and out, and it doesn't really looks very good. Again, that's my own personal preference. You are going to have to decide on your own.
All right, Slideshow Options. Slide Duration, couple of seconds, no captions. When presenting, I want it to Scaled to Fill or to Fit or Centered. I'll go ahead and choose Centered there. Again, this is really going to be contingent upon the overall file size and the type of slideshow you want to present. Now Transitions, in my opinion the best transition is the default Dissolve. Some of these other ones feel a little bit gimmicky to me, so I'm not going to choose any of those in my own workflow, but again, you'll want to experiment a little bit with those. And then I have that Transition Speed, Slower or Faster. Now, one of things I find is if the images are a little bit more moody, I want a little bit more of a slow transition. If they're pretty snappy, pretty in-your-face photographs, you can visually, really quickly I want a little bit of a faster transition.
All right well, I have dialed in my settings. I click OK, I'm ready to launch the Slideshow. Press the H key, hide those commands, then press Spacebar and now that slideshow is playing. The only thing that I may want to modify here is I may want to go ahead and modify the background color and if you didn't watch those previous movies, I'll show you that one more time. Press the Escape key to exit, navigate to Bridge > Preferences and modify the Image Backdrop. Now it's black, click OK, then choose from the View pulldown menu Slideshow, and now my slideshow is on this black background. And because I launched it, it's going to auto-play for me. If I want to stop it, all that I need to do is press the good old Spacebar key. The slideshow has paused. I'll give this image a two star rating and we can see that down below. And that wraps up our conversation about the Bridge Slideshow mode.
- Sharpening a photograph to make it more vivid
- Reviewing the essentials of retouching
- Understanding the fundamentals of color management
- Creating a layer mask to brighten eyes
- Applying advanced noise reduction using channels
- Using Bridge CS4 to organize and tag the best images

Golf Community Springs Up in Goutier
Developer Kenny Smith was hoping to capture the natural beauty of what once was known as Old Shell Landing with his new golf community of the same name. His efforts seem to be paying off. Smith told The Mississippi Press, Every hole is beautiful and different.
After five years of site preparation, the 1,200-acre site is finally starting to take shape. Eight homes are now occupied and many more are currently under construction. In addition to the permanent residents, the developers of the gated community anticipate some residences to be built exclusively as vacation homes. Eventually vacationers will have the option of owning a condominium featuring access to swimming pools, tennis courts and a weight room.
Bluebirds and gopher tortoises are also taking up residence at Shell Landing. A 16-acre tortoise reserve has been added to the property as well as 36 birdhouses. The bluebirds are expected to flock to the open space and dine on a multitude of insects.
Eddie Bush of Ocean Springs told the Mississippi Press that Shell Landings 18-hole, championship course is One of the best-kept golf courses on the Gulf Coast.

WILLOWBROOK, Ill. - Sixty-eight Americans die prematurely every day because they can't get access to health care coverage. This crisis prompted 35 residents of Rep. Judy Biggert's, R-Ill., district to take action and sit in at her office to demand she support health care reform.
"In the last 15 years 11,000 Illinoisans have died because we don't have health care reform," said Jonathan VanderBrug, Health Care Justice coordinator for the Campaign for Better Health Care. "Enough playing politics. Stop stalling. Get it done. This is a matter of life and death."
Altogether, over 294,000 Americans died prematurely since 1994, when the health insurance corporations blocked the last major effort for health care reform. Residents are determined to make sure reform legislation passes Congress this year.
The sit-in took place as it was announced the top five health insurers set record profits, a combined $12.2 billion for 2009, up 56% from the year before. Meanwhile the industry shed 2.7 million people from health care plans.
Biggert has been voting in lockstep with the Republicans, said VanderBrug, obstructing reform. She had refused to meet with CBHC and her constituents since August despite repeated calls, infuriating many.
"I can't believe Congressman Biggert would play politics while people are dying," said Michael Sacco. "I didn't put her in office for her to play politics. Don't let us down."
Constituents left behind a pile of empty shoes representing people who have died because they didn't have access to health care.
"One shoe is for a friend who passed away. He had cancer and didn't have health insurance. And the other shoe is for my mother. She has a pre-existing condition and I can't get health insurance for her. We should be a country that cares about each other," said one constituent.
"Eight years ago I was diagnosed with AIDS. But my insurance wouldn't cover the costs of my medical treatment causing me to go into bankruptcy," explained another constituent. "I get medical care through the Ryan White Care Act (a federal-state funded program). With the economic crisis I can lose that and there is a strong probability I will be dead in 6 months. Remember me every time you see my shoes."
Mass joblessness is stressing states like Illinois who must spend more money on Medicaid, the only lifeline for those who are jobless without health care coverage. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provided $87 billion in increased funding for Medicaid to fiscally hard strapped states. Biggert voted against the Act.
However this money is due to run out Dec. 31, 2010. An extension of the Medicaid assistance is contained in health care reform (HR3200) and the Jobs for Main Street Act passed by the House of Representatives. A similar measure has yet to pass the Senate.
Biggert voted no again.
The protesters left peacefully about an hour after they arrived when the building management called the police. "Unless you were invited you will have to leave. This is our building and you are not invited," said the manager.
Before she left Biggert's office, Eva left a pair of shoes. She explained they represented those who still had a voice and would speak up for health care reform. "We're going to be back until this situation is resolved," she said.

Tiger Woods's 5-year-plus reign as the world's top golfer ended Monday in Norton, Mass., where Vijay Singh won a head-to-head match with the once-unbeatable champ.
Singh shot a 69 to beat Woods and Adam Scott by three strokes in the Deutsche Bank Championship, clinching the No. 1 ranking in the world with a sixth victory of the year (and nearly $7.9 million in earnings to date). Woods, 29, had been first for a record 264 consecutive weeks, the Associated Press reports.
"Finally it's turned into my favor," said the Fiji-born, 41-year-old Singh, who birdied three of the last four holes to win the $900,000 first prize in the competition. "I've worked pretty hard for this. I finally achieved what I wanted to do starting at the beginning of the year.
"It was a good win, as well. Coming down the stretch got pretty tight there, but I got focused and I played pretty good coming down."
Also noted this weekend, as has been the case for the past few weeks: not at Woods's side was his Swedish model fiancee, Elin Nordegren. The two notoriously private people are said to have split, though there has been no official word of confirmation.

Get the latest version of the Ford SYNC interface in a few easy stepsBy blogsadmin | Posted in Ford SYNC on Thursday, March 27th, 2014 at 1:46 pm
How to update Ford SYNC
Ford SYNC is one of the most robust and easy to used in-vehicle entertainment and communication system in the industry. With easy hands-free use, outstanding voice recognition, and intuitive functionality, the Ford SYNC interface can make your Ford driving experience one of comfort and safety. Standard in models like the Ford Fusion and Ford Escape and optional in smaller vehicles like the Ford Fiesta, the handy system adds a layer of convenience for drivers. But every now and then, Ford offers updates to the Ford SYNC system to provide more features, improve functionality, or fix minor bugs. When those updates are available, it's a good idea to take care of updating the system in a timely manner to ensure your Ford SYNC system is operating at its peak. We'll take a little time to explain how to update Ford SYNC so you don't have to rifle through your owner's manual for the information.
1. Download the software updates on your computer and move the installation files to a USB device
2. Start your Ford and plug the USB into the port. The update takes about a half hour, so make sure you are in a well-ventilated area.
3. Press AUX then choose SYNC and press OK. Then push Menu > SYNC Media > OK
4. At this point, you'll see a Media Menu then a Play Menu. Use the Seek button to move the highlighter and stop on Select Source. Then press OK.
5. From here, choose SYNC USB and select the device containing the installation software.
6. Select System Settings and then move the highlighter over Advanced. Press OK.
7. Install Applications should be an option on this screen. Use seek to move the highlighter over Install Applications then press OK.
8. The SYNC system automatically detects files on the USB and it will ask you if you want to Install Application. Hit OK to begin installation. It's important to remember not to remove the USB during the update. Also, don't try to use the interface during installation.
After a short time, the SYNC interface will display a message saying Installation is complete. Ignore that. It is referring to a specific portion of the installation. In another 10 or 15 minutes, the system will again tell you installation is complete and it will likely reboot the system.
9. When installation completes, remove your USB. You'll need to pair your phone to SYNC again. Plug the USB back into your computer and report the successful installation to Ford.
One Response to "Get the latest version of the Ford SYNC interface in a few easy steps"
What's up, yes this article is actually nice and I have learned lot
of things from it about blogging. thanks.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Mary Ann Eicher will miss the local BiLo grocery store when it closes its doors for good at 3 p.m. Friday.
"I went there almost every day. If we needed something, it was right at our hands. I think it's a shame. We've got used to it all of these years," said the Mulberry Street resident whose son Wade worked at the store as a stocker/bagger for about 10 years. "We always bought our pork there, and the nearest BiLo is in Tyrone. We will go there for our pork."
Eicher isn't the only one in the neighborhood who will miss the grocery store.

A customer leaves BiLo Foods with a bag of groceries Wednesday in Hollidaysburg. The store will close at 3 p.m. Friday.
"I am disappointed very much, but I understand. It's where I do all my shopping. I live alone and don't buy much. Eating out and not being a cook, I relied on their deli. A lot of people will miss it," said David Whitesel of Ella Street.
Aleka Ruggiero and Janice Albright will miss the convenience of the 806 Church St. store.
"If I am cooking and there is a spice I need, I can just go over. It won't be as convenient when I need something [to go elsewhere]," said Ruggiero, who lives on Church Street.
"There are a lot of local people who are upset about it. I do the bulk of my shopping at Wal-Mart, but if I run out of something, [BiLo] won't be there," said Albright, who lives on Jones Street.
Penn Traffic Co. announced earlier this month that it would close the 14,100-square-foot store built by A&P in the late 1960s. The building had been leased by Penn Traffic - first as a Riverside and then BiLo since 1983.
Losing its lone remaining grocery store is a big loss for the borough.
"It is devastating to the borough, especially for the senior citizens who shop there who don't have private transportation and can walk to the store," Mayor Joe Dodson said. "Anytime you lose a business of that magnitude and people lose their employment, it is devastating."
Penn Traffic said the store employed 24 workers.
"We are very unhappy about this," said John Little, borough manager. "We are hoping the next owner will bring in a grocery store because we don't really have one in the borough."
Little said he talked to top officials at Penn Traffic about retaining the store, but his efforts yielded no success.
"They were not interested in talking about it," Little said. "I think that this decision was made quite a few months ago."
The fate of the building hasn't been determined.
"We have a sale pending and is to close by May 10 to a local investment group whose plans are unknown at this point," said Randy Lafferty, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Johnston Realty.
"We are hopeful we can get another grocery store in there. That is the best case scenario," Little said.
The next closest grocery store for borough residents is Martin's on Glimcher Drive, Duncansville.

The former Detroit Tigers reliever, now with the Minnesota Twins, cut a bullpen session short Saturday due to an apparent elbow injury. On Sunday, it was reported that Zumaya had tore his ulnar collateral ligament.
"He feels bad. I feel bad," Twins general manager Terry Ryan said. "Not the news I wanted to hear on a Sunday morning. This is a 12-month thing."
UCL injuries are repaired through Tommy John surgery. Zumaya potentially could start throwing sometime in 2013 but could also decide to retire based on the injury troubles that have plagued him for years.
Zumaya sat out the entire 2011 season after appearing in 171 games in five seasons with the Tigers. He went 6-3 with a 1.94 ERA in 62 appearances in his rookie season of 2006 but never appeared in more than 31 games for the Tigers in any of the next four seasons.
The Tigers would have welcomed Zumaya to camp as a non-roster invitee but never offered him a major-league contract during the offseason. In January, the Twins signed Zumaya to a one-year deal worth $850,000.
Zumaya's former teammates with the Tigers were saddened by the news.
"When you get hurt, there's nothing you can do," Brandon Inge said. "Your hands are tied at that point, and that's probably the most frustrating part about it. I feel bad for him. You get prepared, you feel like you're good to go and you get hurt and start the whole process all over again."
Justin Verlander crossed paths with Zumaya recently.
"I actually saw him in Orlando a few weeks ago," Verlander said. "He said he was really excited, feeling good. Even if somebody's with another team, you never want to see that. It's sad. It sucks."
Early in the day Sunday, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said he did not want want to comment about Zumaya because he did not yet know the severity of the injury. But he wished his former reliever the best.
"It'll break my heart if he's hurt again," Leyland said. "It's just been one thing after another."
Inge spoke at length about the stress Zumaya's mechanics put on his arm.
"You have to have perfect mechanics to throw that hard and stay healthy for long," Inge said. "He was talented. He could throw the ball harder than anyone that I've ever seen. But his mechanics, they are what they are -- I'm not saying it's good or bad -- but it wasn't going to be very healthy.
"If he would have stayed healthy throwing the ball as hard as he threw it, I would have been amazed."

The Hunter Cheats
I don't no if it will EVER be available in AUS
Look forward to the new Trainer. Cheers
As stated in their forums by Björn Öjlert:
We've banned a lot of people for cheating during the last couple of weeks.
I just want to make you aware that if you get caught cheating you're account will be permanently banned. This means that you'll lose all memberships and items that you've purchased for the affected account. You'll also lose all skill progression and stats that you may have worked hard to accumulate during hundreds of hours of play.
Everything you do in the game is recorded and analysed and our detection code and methods are improved every day, so even if you got away with cheating today it does not mean that you'll not get banned for past actions a couple of weeks later.
Having being a paying member of the game for four years, I know how frustrating the game can be, especially after paying the amount I have for it over the years. So just be aware that if you are caught using the trainer and you are a paying member you could loose your money not just your account.

In the early 1980s, the idea of university-related research parks began to pique the interest of business leaders around the world. These unique planned properties offered close proximity to university researchers, student workforces, and the cutting-edge discoveries in science and technology that could lead to commercial success for the companies that took notice.
While each has its own unique approach and focus, numerous university research parks have sprung up over the past few decades. Traditionally, these facilities are located on open land masses near the universities that sponsor them, with goals to boost economic development and university reputations by successfully commercializing faculty research.
In recent years, as universities have dealt with tightened budgets, their research parks have taken on new and important roles. Most higher education institutions no longer have sufficient funding available to sustain the original parks model. Now, the hope is that more-comprehensive innovation centers—supported by successful companies founded on faculty research—will help sustain the universities and their local communities. It's a viable goal, and one that many parks are successfully reaching, but not without facing new challenges and experimenting with innovative solutions.

Mount Eisenhower
There's nothing easy about a New Hampshire 4,000-footer, but the taxing trek up 4,760-foot Eisenhower in Chandlers Purchase generally offers fine footing before the steep push to its flat, bald crown; the awe-inspiring view takes in fellow outlying Presidential Range jewels. J. Rayner Edmands' careful trail design has withstood countless steps since 1909, helping hikers to reach the sweeping panorama. Edmands Path & Mount Eisenhower Loop, 6.6 miles round trip. Trailhead on Mount Clinton Road, Crawfords Purchase, NH.
Welch & Dickey Mountains
A splendid loop connects these two low-lying mountains near Waterville Valley, featuring Mad River Valley vistas, mostly forgiving hiking, and incredible ledges. There's some rock scrambling, but the eye candy is worth it. Welch-Dickey Loop Trail, 4.4 miles. Trailhead 6 miles east on Route 49 from I-93 Exit 28; turn left on Upper Mad River Road and right on Orris Road, Waterville Valley, NH.
Mount Willard
The hike to the ledges of this small Willey Range peak in Crawford Notch serves up an eagle's-eye view of a U-shaped valley. The trek leaves a lofty neighborhood—including the source of the Saco River, a train depot, and the Appalachian Mountain Club's Highland Center—and ends at an open perch showcasing the towering Webster Cliffs, historic Willey Slide, and more. Mount Willard Trail, 3.2 miles round trip. Trailhead on Route 302, about 8 miles south of junction Routes 302/3, Crawford Notch State Park, Harts Location, NH.

Title IX Procedures
The Vice Provost for Affirmative Action, who serves as the University's Title IX Coordinator, has designated the Senior Director of the Office of Student Conduct (OSC) as the Deputy Title IX Coordinator (DTIXC) for the University. In addition, the Senior Director has designated individuals at each Commonwealth campus to serve as his designee at that location and to serve as the Title IX Resource Person (TIXRP) for that campus. All incidents involving sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual assault, sexual violence, gender based discrimination and harassment, or any other alleged conduct which may violate Title IX (collectively, "Title IX Violation") of which any University staff or faculty member becomes aware should be forwarded to the DTIXC, or designee, (hereafter referred to as DTIXC) for review. The Title IX report form, definitions and examples can be found at http://www.psu.edu/dept/title-ix/. See also AD-85.
The Process:
When a report is received which indicates a behavior may have involved a Title IX violation, the DTIXC will review the information to determine if the described behavior constitutes violations or concerns regarding Title IX. When necessary, consultation will also occur with the Title IX Coordinator. If there is not a potential Title IX Violation, the DTIXC will determine if other processes/policies apply and determine best next steps. If there is a potential Title IX violation, the DTIXC will do the following:
- Assess the level of investigation and remedial measures already implemented.
- Assess the need for a timely warning* and issues of mandated reporting (e.g., Clery) and communicate as appropriate with University Police.
- Ensure that the complainant, if known, is aware of the resources and remedial measures available and work with appropriate staff to work to implement appropriate measures.
- When only a third party reporter is identified, make contact and share information that may be shared with a complainant. (see Third Party Reports section below)
- Evaluate the severity and nature of the alleged behavior and its potential impact to the community.
- Determine appropriate investigative strategy based on the information received, and conduct appropriate and prompt investigation.
- Take reasonable action to ensure that the behavior has ended.
- Assess the need for action to prevent the behavior from occurring again, and take appropriate steps.
- Document case information in the Title IX database maintained by DTIXC (the "Title IX database"). Information contained therein will be periodically shared with the Title IX Coordinator.
- In cases in which the complainant wants the complainant's name kept confidential or does not want it to be shared with the respondent(s), or does not want further action, the DTIXC will communicate to the complainant that the University may be limited in the actions it can take. The DTIXC will also explain that retaliation for reporting alleged harassment or discrimination or for participating in a resolution is a violation and that any retaliation should be immediately reported and will be promptly addressed.
The University may still need to take additional steps to respond (investigate, provide educational programs, restrict the respondent's activities, etc.). However, the complainant's name will not be shared with the respondent or others, unless absolutely necessary to ensure the safety of the University community.
If the information provided and the investigation confirm that additional action must be taken, every effort will be made to communicate with the complainant to explain the rationale for proceeding and the status of the process, even if the complainant does not wish to proceed. This may include, in certain circumstances, an explanation of why the complainant's request for confidentiality cannot be met.
When a complainant has expressed interest in meeting with the Office of Student Conduct (OSC) to explore University disciplinary options, an OSC Case Manager, typically the Associate Director of Student Conduct at University Park or conduct designee at a Commonwealth Campus, will make contact with either the person identified as the complainant or the third party reporter to explain and initiate that process. (See Office of Student Conduct Case Review Process section below.)
University Police
If the University Police Department receives information regarding a student-involved Title IX violation, relevant information (including names, nature, location and date of the incident) should be forwarded to the DTIXC as soon as reasonably practicable. A police investigation does not replace the University's duty to review and investigate allegations of Title IX investigations.
Once the DTIXC receives information from University Police, the DTIXC will follow the process outlined above.
Third Party Reports
When a report of a Title IX concern is made by a third party reporter, the DTIXC will make contact with the third party and will
- review the third party's understanding of the issues and incident,
- assess the level of investigation, accommodation and remedial actions already implemented,
- ascertain the current status of the complainant,
- explain the University's process for managing Title IX allegations,
- make decisions regarding the need for a timely warning* and issues of mandated reporting, and
- assess the impact on the community and the climate.
*Timely Warnings: If it is determined that a timely warning is warranted under the Clery Act and/or there are additional security concerns, the police will be notified of the information shared with the DTIXC. The complainant, if known, will be notified if and when such a determination is made.
Office of Student Conduct Case Review Process
At any time, when a complainant expresses an interest in exploring options within the Office of Student Conduct, the process will begin with an OSC Case Manager making contact with the complainant.
When speaking with the complainant, the following may be discussed:
- immediate needs, any appropriate interim remedial measures available, and resources, including confidential reporting locations
- potential of a timely warning* and issues of mandated reporting
- relevant University policies
- informal and formal options for reporting (to include the OSC and the Police processes)
- circumstances of the incident with the specificity needed to understand possible violations
- description of the next steps of the process
*Timely Warnings: If it is determined that a timely warning is warranted under the Clery Act and/or there are additional security concerns, the police will be notified of the information shared with OSC. The complainant, if known, will be notified if and when such a determination is made.
Possible outcomes of this initial discussion include the following:
- The incident is documented, but no further investigative or disciplinary action is determined to be necessary by the Senior Director. Appropriate accommodation to the complainant and appropriate remedial measures will still be applied.
- The complainant wishes for the University to proceed with an initial investigation process to include contact with the respondent. The complainant will be eligible for appropriate accommodations, and appropriate remedial measures will be applied. The complainant will also be informed that if at any point in the future the complainant wishes for formal action (i.e., the formal University conduct process), the complainant can request it at that time. A timeline for next steps will be reviewed, and when appropriate, additional meetings scheduled. As detailed below, there may be occasions where the University determines that formal processes are required, even if the complainant does not intend to pursue the same.
- The complainant requests that the University proceed with the formal University conduct process (i.e., formal University charges are assigned). The complainant will be eligible for appropriate accommodations, and appropriate remedial measures will be applied. Additional information necessary to proceed with the formal process will be obtained. A timeline for next steps will be reviewed and when appropriate, additional meetings scheduled.
When no formal process is requested nor is there information that compels the University to move forward with additional investigation, appropriate documentation will be completed for submission to the Title IX Coordinator and the Title IX database.
There may be cases in which the information provided requires that action be taken (including initiating formal action or conducting a more thorough investigation), irrespective of the desires of the complainant. In those cases, every effort will be made to explain to the complainant the rationale for moving forward and the relevant procedures and timelines, and to keep the complainant informed as the process moves forward.
Initial Investigation Process:
When only an initial investigation is pursued, the OSC Case Manager will contact the respondent to schedule a meeting. In that meeting, the OSC Case Manager will review the following:
- rights of the respondent,
- the allegations,
- the respondent's perspective on the allegations,
- actions requested by the complainant, and
- actions recommended by the University.
If, following the discussion, the respondent agrees to participate with the actions necessary to honor the complainant's and University's requests, steps will be taken to complete those actions in a prompt and timely manner. Examples of requests include, but are not limited to, counseling for the respondent, commitment to change/end the behavior, restricted activity, schedule modification, and educational intervention. The complainant will be notified of the respondent's agreement and appropriate documentation will be completed for submission to the DTIXC and the Title IX database. No reportable disciplinary record is created. However, the information will remain on file should future concerns be reported.
When the respondent is not willing to honor the requests of the complainant or the University, a follow-up meeting will be held with the complainant to determine next steps. Although selecting the initial investigation process initially, the complainant may wish to modify the request to a formal process.
Formal Student Conduct Process
When a formal Student Conduct Process is pursued, the OSC Case Manager will contact the respondent and review the following:
- rights of the respondent,
- the allegations,
- the respondent's perspective on the allegations,
- actions requested by the alleged victim, and
- actions recommended by the University.
Once this conversation occurs and the allegations are prepared in a written format, the remainder of the process will follow the University's Student Conduct Procedures http://studentaffairs.psu.edu/conduct/Procedures.shtml.

Les Simpson, publisher of the Amarillo Globe-News, is the recipient of a top award from the Texas Daily Newspaper Association.
Simpson has been named the 2009 winner of the Frank W. Mayborn Award for Community Leadership.
The award is presented each year to a publisher or newspaper executive who has made significant contributions to society.
Simpson, publisher of the Globe-News since 2002, was honored at the TDNA's annual convention Monday in Houston.
"I am extremely honored to win the Mayborn Award for Community Leadership," Simpson said. "I know there are many great newspaper leaders who have been recognized with this award and it's a privilege to be among them."
Frank W. Mayborn was a longtime Texas newspaper executive. The Award for Community Leadership was established in 1992 to honor his commitment as a journalist to community service.
"Newspapers still play a vital role in our lives and can help make positive changes," Simpson said. "The role of the publisher is simply to use the power of the newspaper to move a community forward."
As part of the award, Simpson will give a $3,000 scholarship to a student at West Texas A&M University. The scholarship could be given to any university or college with a four-year journalism degree.
Houston Chronicle general manager and TDNA board member Matt Oliver said Simpson "epitomizes the community spirit that is the legacy of Frank Mayborn."
Simpson, a native of Tifton, Ga., was co-chairman of the Amarillo United Way campaign that raised a record $4.4 million in 2003. He's a member of the Downtown Amarillo Inc. board, the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce, and the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts. He also serves on the board of the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association.
The TDNA is a membership service organization representing newspaper publishers and editors at Texas daily newspapers.

Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board is considering the option of hiring foreign security experts to set up the security plan for the forthcoming Pakistan Super League T20 tournament which begins from March. A top official in the PSL secretariat confirmed that there was a proposal to hire foreign security experts to not only coordinate the security plan for the league but also ensure that ICC anti-corruption measures were put in place for the event which begins from March 26.
"We will be in touch with the ICC to invite their anti-corruption unit officers to Pakistan to satisfy themselves that the league is well guarded against corrupt elements," said the official. "The proposal to have foreign security experts is being looked into keeping in mind that most of the T20 leagues being held these days have input for their security plans from foreign experts. We are looking into hiring these same people because of their prior experience," he said.
The official said the proposal to have foreign security experts was being looked into also to send a clear message to the overseas players and cricket world that security measures for the league will be top class. The PSL will feature five franchises with a pool of 30 overseas players to be available for signing on by these franchise teams.
The Pakistan Cricket Board is already apprehensive about the process of convincing foreign players to come to Pakistan and their respective boards to clear them for the PSL. "The statement coming from England from the professional players association is one indication about the difficulties we will face in this regard," the official said.
The players association representative in England has said they would ask counties to not give NOCs to players for the PSL because of security concerns about playing in Pakistan. Sources said that the PCB is already in touch with other boards to convince them to support the PSL and make it a success.
"Haroon Lorgat, the former CEO of the ICC, who has been hired by the PCB is also playing a role in contacting other boards and trying to convince them to allow their players to play in the PSL," he said.
