Like their future alma mater had to do earlier in the week agaisnt Penn State, future Spartans Dwaun Anderson and Brandan Kearney had statement games towards making theirs great senior seasons. Anderson, a 6-3 Suttons Bay senior, scored 25 as the Norsemen avenged an earlier league loss, to win at Glen Lake by 20.
In the Detroit PSL Playoffs East Division semifinals Kearney, a 6-6 senior, scored 22 and Detroit Southeastern topped Detroit Crockett 74-48.
Undefeated Fennville gained a 1,000 point career scorer after 6-3 junior Wes Leonard's 14 points in a 58-41 win against Bangor. Fennville will likely have another 1,000 point scorer in 2013 by the latest -- sophomore Pete Alfaro had 30 in the game.
Saginaw could be a Class A state title contender thanks largely to the emergence of senior guard Marquavis Ford. He had 17 points, nine rebounds, eight assists and four steals in the Trojans' 69-65 win over Flint Northern.
Talent rises, so don't look now but Detroit U-D Jesuit is rounding into shape. They'd already beat Catholic Central, now the game-winner over DLS with three seconds to go from 6-2 U-D junior Cameron Fowler. 6-6 junior Chris Jenkins scored 22.
Luke Morrison scored 29 as Elk Rapids beat Grayling 57-51. Morrison and Elks coach Luke Johnson might be the best playing combination of junior guard and coach-as-player-past in Michigan (and if you have to be named "Luke," they win going away). Chris Harrison-Docks and Dan Stolz at Okemos might win that one though. Valentine & Valentine would win the mid-sized players tournament.
Big Rapids Crossroads senior guard Jalen Carter had 31 points in a 61-56 win over Bear Lake.
The best player in the West Michigan D League is either Carter or Lucas Landis, a 6-3 junior from Mason County Eastern. He's a great athlete who scored 27 in MCE's 83-43 win over Pentwater. Two days before he had a Love-esqe line of 30 points, 25 rebounds in a 56-51 win against a solid Bear Lake squad.
Landis' Parallel 45 teammate, Chris Hass, scored 29 and that was still below the 6-4 junior's average in Pellston's 88-49 defeat of Gaylord St. Mary. Hass is the state's No. 2 scorer after Hillsdale Academy's 6-5 senior Peter Sullivan, who is scoring 38 a game.
Bay City All Saints' Nick Dorion's layup beat the horn -- and Bad Axe 61-59.
There was a guard shootout on Holland's Northside. Jenison beat West Ottawa 67-60 with junior Eric Evans scoring 26. WO senior Jorddan Myrick had 32 points.
6-6 sophomore Malachai Saterlee has made a terrific impact at Climax-Scotts once becoming eligible second semester. He had 25 points and 10 rebounds in the 62-52 C-S win over Hillsdale Academy.
Boarding like a young Billy Curley continues to be Lucas McKian. The 6-8 Fremont senior had 17 points and 18 rebounds as the Packers beat Grant 55-48.
Jud Heathcote used to say, it's not making free throws as much as when you make them. Loy-Norrix sophomore guard Bishop Robinson was 6-for-6 in the fourth quarter as the Knights held off 66-58 a Portage Central team playing at home for just its second win this season. Robinson scored 23 for the game. He's yet another example of why the Michigan class of 2013 may have unprecedented guard depth.
From a Bishop to Genesee Christian and Novi Franklin Road Christian. The former won 94-56 behind 36 points from Hunter Selby.

In the past three days, 3,545 villagers had suffered slight injuries while moving their belongings away from floods and received medical attention, Pinij said. Among them were 45 cases of broken arms, 50 of diabetes and high-blood pressure and two cases of asthma.
Ten more medical teams from Phayao, Chiang Rai, Uttaradit, Phrae, Lampang and Chiang Mai along with medical supplies would assist doctors and nurses at Nan Hospital to treat 300 patients.
Nearly 70 mobile medical teams were also sent to marooned villages, Pinij said, adding that the worst hit area was Tha Wang Pha district, which was only accessible by flat-bottom boats.
Permanent Secretary for Public Health Dr Prat Boonyawongvirot said overall the flood situation in Nan had improved and services at Nan Hospital were operational again.
Nan public health official Dr Pisit Sriprasert, said 80 per cent of Nan residents had sustained scratches while six per cent suffered muscle strains from moving their belongings to higher ground. The rest had foot and skin diseases.
The most worrying issue was clean drinking water, and he urged villagers to drink from sealed bottles certified by the Food and Drug Administration, and not to bathe or wash their faces in the reddish floodwater as it may be contaminated.
Meanwhile, floodwater from upper Muang and Tha Wang Pha districts had caused the Nan River to burst its banks inundating nearly 3,000 houses in five tambons of Wiang Sa district and leaving it under two-metres of water since Monday night. All roads linking residents to other areas had been cut. Wiang Sa district Chief Wichit Boonkangwan said he had initially dispatched 10 flat-bottom boats to deliver food and drinking water to the affected villagers and evacuate some people to safer places. He said the damage should be less, as villagers were warned beforehand and the district had prepared for the disaster.
The Third Army Region also landed helicopters at the district office in case emergency patients needed airlifting - and to carry food and supplies to inaccessible areas, a local reporter said.
The floodwaters would pass through the Na Noi and Na Mun districts' non-residential areas before it poured into the Sirikit Dam in about two days time.
Meanwhile, Irrigation Department chief Samart Chokekhanaphithak said the slow flow and drainage of floodwaters was caused mainly by poor underground drainage on roads, bridges and railway bridges. It would require around Bt4.15 billion to build more drains or improve the existing ones.

At Christmas, the Aurelia Parent Teach Organization provided a tree at the Aurelia building, which were covered with book wish lists from the teachers, pk-eighth grade. Community members were encouraged to remove a list or two and purchase those books or provide funds for books on the list. The Kiwanis club made a large donation for the project.
In total, about $1,000 in books were provided, Each book has a "given by" spot on the inside of the book; many were given in memory of loved ones.
At the Alta building, the Parent-Teacher Association raised funds throught their annual wreath sale and then presented each elementary teacher with $100 to purchase books from the book fair open just for teachers. The teachers were able to select $150 worth of books at the book fair. This amounts to over $1,000 in books as well.
All of the teachers at both buildings are very pleased with the wonderful donations and the kids are happy to have new reading materials.

Farmers prepare for sub-freezing temperatures, wind chills
The bone-chilling temperatures that are on tap for our region aren't just a problem for humans. Animals are also in danger.
Layne Klein, owner of Klein Farms in Forks Twp., Northampton Co., has been through this before.
"Their body temperature is usually 101," said Klein. "They have a leather coat. They do like it a little cooler, but the really, really cold weather will stress them out."
That's why workers have to make sure the nearly 200 cows on their farm are in a safe place.
"I always say dot your i's, cross your t's before cold weather comes," added Klein.
It's hard work that includes placing some cows in the milking barn because the fields are filled with water that will freeze overnight.
The others stay in barns equipped with curtains to block the wind and a padded platform to keep the animals off the ground.
"Make sure they have plenty of food because they will eat more in cold weather because they need the energy just to stay warm," said Klein. "Especially the animals that are outside."
Everyone at the farm will work most of the day to get the cows ready for the blast of arctic air that will come through the area, but it doesn't stop there. A lot of other chores are required.
"Every farmer's situation is very different. In our case, we know what equipment we have to watch. The manure-cleaning system behind the cows, part of it is outside."
If those pipes freeze, that could cause a lot of problems.
At the end of the day, Klein said he wants three things to happen.
"I always say in cold weather, in really cold weather, it's a good day on a farm, on a cold day, when you got the cows milked twice, you've got the feed down, and you've got the manure out. That's a good day, if nothing broke," he said.
Then, Klein said, he can have a peaceful night knowing his herd is warm.

Entergy releases information
The following information has been provided by Entergy of Louisiana's website, www.entergy-louisiana.com.
Restoration Progress - Entergy's team of 14,000 restoration workers is safely restoring service as quickly as possible. This team includes 3,000 Entergy system company and contract employees, plus the 11,000 workers from outside the Entergy territory. At this time, remaining damage to the transmission system includes 56 lines and 39 substations out of service.
Here is the latest restoration information for south Louisiana:
Parishes where restoration should be 100 percent complete by the end of Sept. 9: Jefferson (upper portion, St. Tammany including Metairie and Kenner), Livingston, St. Helena, Tangipahoa, Washington
Offices in operation in the Northshore Area:
Entergy Hammond Service Ctr., 2200 W. Church St. Office Hours - 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Entergy Amite Office, 607 S. 1st Street. Office Hours - 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Additional Information
• Hurricane Gustav caused a system peak of 850,000 customer outages across Entergy, in the early morning of Sept. 2. The system peak is defined as the single point in time when the highest number of simultaneous outages occurred across the Entergy system.
• In terms of power outages, Hurricane Gustav is the second worst in Entergy's 95-year history, peaking at about 850,000 early Tuesday – the overwhelming majority of them in Louisiana. That easily bypassed the 800,000 outages in Hurricane Rita in 2005. The only larger number of Entergy outages was 1.1 million in 2005 during Hurricane Katrina, which has been described as one of the worst natural disasters in American history.
• Damages caused by Gustav include 241 transmission lines and 352 substations knocked out of service and, in distribution, more than 8,200 poles, 12,500 spans of wire and 1,900 transformers have been confirmed as damaged or destroyed.
• As Gustav moved through the service territory, separate Entergy utility operating companies also experienced peak outages at different points in time, which is a higher total than the system peak.
• In all, Gustav interrupted power for nearly 964,000 customers.
• Restoration workers are responding from Alabama, Canada, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.
• Electrical service has been restored to all of the 12 refineries affected by the storm.

Way too fun.
Once I realized that the control area consisted of the entire game screen then it really started to flow. By the time I reached max speed dodging had become natural and blue rings the main goal. Before I knew it I had over 600k points. I'm not sure if that's any good, all I know is this game is going right in my favorites.
I could very easily lose track of time playing a seemingly simple game such as this. Thanks.

Played for a good hour or so and ended up running out of mouse battery, then dying at around 250,000 points!!!! Awesome game!

In Texas, Gambling's Odds Have Improved
Gov. Rick Perry was for legalized gambling before he was against it.
In 2004, the governor added video lottery terminals at racetracks to the list of issues he would allow lawmakers to consider during a special session — when the governor controls what's on the agenda. They ultimately didn't produce any legislation, but it was an indication that Perry wasn't hostile to expanding the state's legal gambling — at least if the money was for school finance.
His position has changed, and like the Republican Party of Texas and many of his core voters, he no longer supports expanded gambling ...

PHILADELPHIA -- As a general rule, 96-mph fastballs on the forearm don't feel good. After taking a foul ball off his arm, Brian Schneider is now well-versed in this subject.
The Mets catcher had X-rays following the team's 4-2 victory yesterday, the results of which were negative. Schneider, though, was left with a nasty-looking bruise on his right forearm.
"It's just a lot of pain right there," Schneider said. "I don't have a lot of grip right now. ... It's part of being a catcher."
The play happened in the ninth inning, when a Billy Wagner fastball was fouled off by the Phillies Chase Utley. The ball ricocheted onto the arm of Schneider, who immediately stood up in pain. He did stay in the game after he was examined by manager Willie Randolph and trainer Ray Ramirez.
The Mets termed Schneider as day to day, so they probably won't need to find a third catcher for the time being.
Moises Alou made another positive step yesterday in his journey to rejoin the Mets. The injured left fielder played in his second extended spring training game, going 2-for-5.
More importantly, Alou played his position, the next hurdle he needed to cross. Now, depending on how he feels, Alou is close to playing a full game for the Class-A St. Lucie Mets. He'll probably play seven innings of extended spring training today before moving up a level.
"It's encouraging," said Mets assistant GM Tony Bernazard.
Alou, 41, has been out since undergoing hernia surgery nearly halfway through spring training. It's not much of a concern, however, with the continued stellar play from Angel Pagan, who is batting .317.
In terms of rehab for other Mets players, the outlook continues to be lukewarm. Because of his father's ailing health, Pedro Martinez is not rehabbing at the Mets' spring training complex in Port St. Lucie. The team expects him to begin a formal program next week.
Meanwhile, catcher Ramon Castro (hamstring) is able to do everything possible related to baseball. Well, that is, everything but run.
Reliever Matt Wise, who the Mets acquired in the offseason, is throwing just fastballs down in Port St. Lucie as he works back from muscle discomfort in his forearm.
The Mets expect to get booed whenever they come here. They're just tired of how this city seems to take it to another level.
Billy Wagner, who played for the Phillies for two seasons, was livid that fans at Citizens Bank Park cheered Jose Reyes after he lay on the ground injured following a Friday night collision.
"It's really sad in humanity when somebody gets hurt that it's fun to watch," Wagner said. "It's a sad thing when that happens. Nobody wants anybody to get hurt. I don't want Jimmy Rollins to get hurt. I don't want Pat Burrell to get hurt."
For two days, the Mets have been booed for just about everything imaginable. Especially Wagner, who wore out his welcome here during his short tenure. But he expects to get booed. He thrives on it, actually. He just doesn't like when the fans cross the line.
Even while Wagner was waiting to pick up his fourth save yesterday, there was a delay in the action after a brawl broke out in the stands near right field.
Randolph said it's what the team has to expect whenever they come here, knowing the nature of the tough Philly fans. Wagner thought it was a nuisance, and wondered aloud why ballparks don't prohibit beer sales.
Mike Pelfrey finally has the luxury of not looking over his shoulder every start.
Orlando Hernandez remains immobilized in a walking boot because of a strained tendon in his foot, and the Mets don't expect him back in the rotation anytime soon. Pelfrey has pitched with the desperation of someone worried about his job security. The right-hander, who is 2-0 with a 3.85 ERA, can help the Mets pick up their second consecutive sweep tonight against the Phillies.

The TEN-T work programme 2007-2013 outlines the following priorities for road ITS:
- Europe-wide traffic and travel information service
- Europe-wide traffic management service
- Europe-wide freight & logistics
Projects shall facilitate co-modality by promoting the concept of the connected traveller and connected intelligent technologies and have an emphasis on cross border cooperation and continuity of service.
The EU also aims to create a single market for ITS services. This includes the development of technical standards to ensure interoperability and a stable basis for investment decisions, as well as the necessary legal and organisational framework for the deployment of ITS services (see ITS Action Plan and ITS Directive).
Within the framework of the TEN-T programme for the period 2007-2013 an indicative amount of 300 million € has been programmed for ITS road projects (of about 8 billion € for TEN-T in total).
In the 2007 and 2009 calls the EasyWay project (see below) has been selected which is running until end of 2012.
In 2013, five corridor projects and the European ITS Platform+ (EIP+) have been selected for funding (see brochure on ITS TEN-T projects 2013 [3 MB] ).
Since 2007 the TEN-T Executive Agency, turned into the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency in 2014, is managing the technical and financial implementation of the TEN-T programme, including road ITS. This includes the organisation of calls and evaluation.
The EasyWay project receives the EC support from the calls in 2007 and 2009 because of its wide European scope. 22 Member States (and further three observer countries) cooperate on Europe-wide ITS deployment on the main corridors of the trans-European road network. The project is driven by national road authorities and operators with partners including the automotive industry, telecom operators and public transport stakeholders. The European Commission contributes a share of 20% (200 million € for the period 2007-12).
EasyWay partners will define common and seamless European services in the fields of traffic management, travel information and freight and logistics and will undertake projects to implement them.
The targets for EasyWay for the year 2020 are:
- to decrease traffic fatalities by 25 %
- to decrease traffic congestion by 25 %
- to decrease CO2 emissions by 10 %
More information: EasyWay Website
The TEMPO Programme – 2001-2006
Before 2001 individual projects addressed various ITS implementation issues with limited coordination. Aim of the TEMPO programme (2001-2006) was to reach a higher level of coordination and to stimulate a harmonised deployment. The European Commission supported studies and deployment of ITS on the Trans European Road network with 192 million € from the TEN-T multi-annual programme. It has triggered a total investment in ITS of 1.2 billion € for the six-year period.
The main objective of TEMPO was to enhance the safety and service quality on the road network through a number of regional cross border cooperation projects, the so-called Euro-regional projects: (see map and links below).
After the enlargement in 2004 a seventh project, CONNECT, covering Slovenia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, eastern Austria and the east of Germany, has started.
The main achievements of the TEMPO Programme can be summarized as follows:
- Road monitoring infrastructure: Road monitoring equipment to collect basic traffic and road condition data (e.g. traffic counting stations, weather stations and camera installations) have been installed.
- European network of traffic control centres: New traffic control centres have been established or upgraded with advanced data communication (DATEX standard). Several international data exchange links have been implemented. Common databases and digital maps have been developed to make the exchange of traffic information easier.
- Traffic management and control: For all regions traffic management plans have been developed and are carried out. Special attention is given to cross-border and long distance corridors.
- Traveller information services: The Traffic Message Channel (RDS-TMC) and variable message signs have been set up on a large scalet. Web portals for traveller information services have been developed.

1900 Al Spalding Signed Letter To Henry Chadwick From Greece With Olympic Content
Starting Bid - $1,000.00, Sold For - $7,540.00
This extraordinary four-page handwritten letter finds Albert Spalding writing to Henry Chadwick in 1900 as he tours the original site of the ancient Olympic Games. Dated "Olympia Greece - Aug. 24. 1900," Spalding playfully begins his letter by writing "My Dear Chadwick: The Olympian God of Athletic Sports has authorized me to send its greeting to the oldest representative of athletic sport in America and therefore I forward this message to you." He then goes on to describe his journey: "It is an inspiration to look down upon the excavated ruins of these old Olympian fields and consider that athletic contests (something on the lines that we now understand them) originated here more than twenty-seven centuries ago. There is nothing here now but the ruins of this ancient past but if one could believe one tenth part of the wonderful stories my guide tells me they certainly conducted their annual games or festivals on a scale of magnificence never since attempted. I am full of the wonderful doings and sayings of Herodotus, Thucydides, Lysias, Plato and at a later period the Roman Emperors Nero and Tiberius. The latter, so it is said, entered as a contestant in a chariot race and gave notice that he would put to death any one that beat him, of course Tiberius won. Such methods destroyed the Olympian games, all of which might serve as a lesson to the managers of our modern sports...I leave here today for Corinth and Athens and may return to Paris via Italy or possibly Constantinople, Vienna and Munich. I am planning my trip as I go along. I haven't seen a newspaper that I can read for about a week and consequently don't know what is going on in the world...I will hope to see you in New York in October. Yours very truly, A. G. Spalding." The letter is penned in black ink, with Spalding's signature grading "7" and the text averaging "8-9." In addition to Spalding's signature, the letter has also been initialed by Henry Chadwick. Upon receiving this letter Chadwick obviously "passed it around" the office to be read by his colleagues, but he definitely wanted it back. That fact is clear by his customary blue-pencil notation ("8-9") in the upper right hand corner that reads "Return this to me. HC." Despite their heated debates over the origins of baseball, Spalding and Chadwick were good friends, a bond forged by their passionate love of our National Game. They were also two of the most significant figures in baseball history. Chadwick, who was the game's preeminent historian at the time, was commonly referred to as the "Father of Baseball," and Spalding was one of the game's greatest pitchers of the nineteenth century who later exercised his influence as a powerful team owner and sporting-goods magnate. At the writing of this letter, the 1900 Olympic Games were taking place in Paris, France. Since Spalding mentioned in his letter that he might return to Paris it stands to reason that he witnessed a few of the events during his first visit. Perhaps he was inspired by what he saw and thus added Olympia to his travel itinerary. The letter is written on all four sides of a fold-over multilined sheet. Ideally, Spalding's signature appears along the left border of the first page, as he ran out of room to add it on the reverse. Therefore, the letter displays both Spalding's signature and Chadwick's initials together on the first page, as well as the ink stamp of the Olympia Grand Hotel in the upper left corner which reads "Olympia Grand Hotel De La Cio Du Chemin De Fer." The letter (5.5 x 8.5 inches, folded) displays a few minor tears (both in the body and along the edges) and is slightly soiled and toned. Good to Very Good condition overall.

People in Australia, are always willing to pay for quality products and they tend to prefer quality goods rather than cheaper prices. Still, there are stores and manufacturers that offer low rates and high quality products to their customers. But sometimes, this option makes the people feel ambiguous about the quality of the products and people may feel or think, why the rates have been lowered or the products have been offered for discounted rates. Like of we talk about medicine or pharmacy online, there are a number of chemist and pharmacy stores that offer discounted rates for their customers. Though it is a fact, that everyone likes to have some discount. But when we are dealing with medication and medical products then people use to worry about the reason why the chemist has offered low rates. What could be the reason behind it.
For this the chemist should provide a clear view of why the personal care of health care products like blood pressure monitor, first aid kit or vitamins and medicines are offered at discounted rates.
There could be a number of various reasons behind it.
As, for example:
The chemist may want to draw in the attention of the customers and offer better rates or cheaper rates. Cheaper rates don't mean that you'll get cheaper rates.
Another reason could be to introduce a new product in the market and that is why the chemist could introduce it with a lower rates or promotions or introductory rates.
The manufacturer may have offered some promotion and low rates to ease the customers or patients to get the product.
There could be many such reasons behind the low rates being offered. Like medicines for sinus, incontinence, come at lower rates when you purchase these in bulk. So, you can also ask the supplier or the seller to clarify the core cause.

What materials did you use? The title "Heritage Quilt" came about because the fabrics used have family importance. Some are from happy occasions, others from sad memories, but all in all, they represent our life. The designs in the middle of each square have importance as well. The crazy little house reminds us of the wonderful years spent living all together; the musical staff remembers that when Em was little, I'd sing "You Are My Sunshine" to her, and it became our song. Sometimes now, when we speak on the phone, our greeting is singing "You are.." and the other person picking up "my sunshine.." and then we laugh.
Very, very nice quilt! Love that it all has personal meaning to you and yours - those are the very best quilts and this one is beautiful - and your quilting is great too!
Oh, Ann, such kind words. I do appreciate them. You may remember my asking you at the beginning of class if clamshell quilting would be OK? Thank God you said no. I have learned not to make such a large quilt again.
Wow! Beautiful in all respects!
I very much appreciate your kind words, Meredith.
Love the colors and the log cabin style blocks! A beautiful quilt that will warm your spirit as well as your body.
I do love color--thank you.
Very beautiful! One of the most original and creative log cabin quilts I've seen.
Thank you Julianna, for your kind comments. Nice words, too. :)
This is my quilt that my amazingly wonderful Grandmother made for me. It is by most the best gift I could receive. Thank you Nonna. I love love love it! And you even more.

In Brief: Court rejects bid to appeal gay-marriage ruling
Man dead, woman hurt in Elk County crash
RIDGWAY -- A West Virginia man was killed Thursday afternoon in a one-vehicle crash in Elk County.
State police said Glenn W. Grogg, 67, of Anmoore, W.Va., was a passenger in a 1997 van driven by Mary V. Grogg, 73, of Anmoore, when she fell asleep while driving north on Route 66 in Highland Township at about 3:30 p.m. and the vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree.
Glenn Grogg was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mary Grogg was flown to UPMC Hamot, where she was listed in serious condition Thursday night.
Court rejects bid to appeal marriage ruling
PHILADELPHIA -- A federal appeals court has rejected a county official's bid to appeal a ruling that overturned Pennsylvania's gay marriage ban.
The Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday denied Schuylkill County Orphans Court Clerk Theresa Santai-Gaffney's request to intervene in the case.
She said she plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Seinfeld sends note to man who lent Jaguar
IRWIN -- A western Pennsylvania man said Jerry Seinfeld left him a nice thank-you note after borrowing his rare car for the comedian's latest episode of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee."
Scott Drab, of Irwin, said Seinfeld wanted to drive a green 1967 Jaguar Mark II when he was recording an episode featuring fellow comedian Robert Klein.
The show was posted online Thursday at http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com.

The Monroe Doctrine
Define/Defy the Frame
Download pdf of Option/Shift.
An annotated interview with Esther Parada by Deborah
Option/Shift was designed to be published by the University of Colorado's
Platen Press in conjunction with their earlier publication of my 42-document
wall piece called The Monroe Doctrine: Theme and
Variations, entirely generated on a Macintosh computer. It seemed
appropriate therefore that much of the illustrative material for this
book be drawn from computer "sketches" for that piece. Within
that framework, however, I have also layered a number of digitized fragments
from earlier work or work-in-progress of a more personal nature, as well
as several halftone reproductions of work referred to in the text. In
addition to the obvious fact that this personal work unfolds within a
public/historical context, it seems increasingly clear to me that both
kinds of images share another connection: concern with issues of perception
and manipulation--shifting relationships of power and attention. Thence
the title of this interview. At a literal level option and shift
are words familiar to Macintosh users as keystroke commands which constrain
or transform computer functions.

ST. LOUIS - One game.
After riding their stellar starting pitching to the best regular season in franchise history, it all comes down to one game for the Phillies. Their 5-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday set up a decisive Game 5 at Citizens Bank Park on Friday night.
Roy Halladay will pitch for the Phillies. His close friend and former teammate, Chris Carpenter, will start for the Cardinals.
If you love baseball, it is a perfect scenario - two of the best pitchers in baseball facing off in a game that will send one team to the National League Championship Series and one team home. If you're a Phillies fan counting on another trip to the World Series, it means another night of anxiety and stress - and just maybe the end of the season.

The funniest thing I heard recently was a comment about the San Francisco Giants made by a caller on a local sports talk radio show. The question was, what to do with a 52-66 team with the 6th worst run differential in baseball (-71), 16.5 games out of first place in the NL West?
The caller emphatically stated that "You can't just blow up this team, the Giants only need some tweaking… ". I was driving at the time and when I heard that comment I immediately spun my steering wheel, flew off a rather high overpass, and somehow landed in an empty parking spot at the local Target store.
Later, over the delicious mixed meat hotdog the federal government still allows Target to serve at their fast food counter, I thought about that sports talk phone call.
The caller was right in one regard: this team has already self-destructed, so additional "blowing up" is unnecessary and would simply be a waste of good explosives. No one said it better than John Candy in his classic "Farm Film Report" on Second City TV.
The Giants? Well they blowed up real good.
At the team's current win-loss rate, the San Francisco Giants will finish the 2013 season at 71-91. Amazingly, even if you reversed those numbers they don't win the NL West– the LA Dodgers are on a pace to finish 94-68.
So what's coming up? Twenty-four games over the last month and a half of the season will be with the Dodgers (7), D-backs (7), Pirates (4), Red Sox (3), and Yankees (3). Which indicates it might be time to renew those lapsed prescription drugs and see how the Indoor Canadian Football League is shaping up.
The Giants could do themselves and their fans a favor and use the time remaining in the 2013 season to give their legitimate prospects some quality playing time at the big league level. And let's be clear. I'm not talking about long time minor leaguers in their late 20s like Brett Pill or veteran players like Tony Abreu and Kensuke Tanaka.
I'm talking about Triple A Fresno prospects like RHP Heath Hembree, OF Francisco Peguero, 3B Chris Dominguez, SS Ehire Adrianza, RHP Brett Bochy, and OF Gary Brown. From AA Richmond let's also see 2B Joe Panik, C Andrew Susac, LF Jarrett Parker, and LHP Edwin Escobar.
Let's not sit back and wait for the September call-ups. Time to look ahead, see what's in the cupboard, and get some of these fresh faces into the 2013 mix right now.

The Farmers Alley Theatre has added more dates for its production of "My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra."
The downtown Kalamazoo theater added six performances, extending the show through Dec. 30.
The new shows are:
- 7 p.m. Dec. 16
- 8 p.m. Dec. 19, 27-29
- 2 p.m. Dec. 30
In his review, Kalamazoo Gazette/MLive's Mark Wedel said, "New York actors Laura D'Andre and Garen McRoberts, and Kalamazoo's Amanda Martin and Jeremy Koch did the singing. No one tried to imitate Sinatra, but all did credible era-appropriate vocals. Martin was the most natural and unforced with a '40s-style voice; put her in a time machine and get her signed with the Dorsey band, please. D'Andre was brassy and the only one to try Sinatra-style jazz phrasing. Both of the men were more musical theatre than swingin', but they kept their end up."
Tickets for "My Way" are $33 for Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday performances. They are $35 for Fridays and Saturdays.
For more information, call 269-343-2727 or go to www.farmersalleytheatre.com.

One of our readers has asked for advice about her new relationship. She has noticed that her guy frequently tries to "one up" her. It started out light hearted and fun competition. After the friendly banter turned to him making snide remarks, she started to think he was serious.
She wondered if he is the type that always has to be on top. Winning is so important to him and when he doesn't win, he loses his cool. Is that a red flag? Have you ever met someone who is super competitive about everything? Do you think this could become a problem in a relationship?
To make matters worse, his increased competitive behavior could stem from the fact that he just learned how much money she makes. Have you ever dated someone who saw you as competition?

Whatever their failings, and they have more than a few, the 76ers usually can be counted on to play hard, even on those occasions when they do not play particularly well.
Last night, in their biggest game of the season, in the setting of a home game that could force the seventh game of a playoff series, they picked a bad time to disappear.
"This game for us was a total collapse," coach Tony DiLeo said after the Orlando Magic closed out the Sixers with a 114-89 win that was accomplished despite two missing starters for the Magic.

There's good news and bad news for Madonna and her husband, British film director Guy Ritchie, at the start of this weekend.
First, the good: The two are no longer in trouble with the local landmarks committee over some large iron gates that the couple put up outside Ashcombe Estate, their English country mansion, Reuters reports.
Madonna, 44, and Ritchie, 34, who purchased the property last year, had the 12-foot high gates erected in June as a means to insure their privacy, only to be informed by the town council that they would need to seek retrospective permission for the addition. The reason was because their mansion, a $14.1 million, six-bedroom pile built in the 18th century, is a landmarked building.
But now the council has approved the gates, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported Friday. A member was quoted as saying, "It was decided they did not have an adverse affect on the ... building."
Meanwhile, on the subject of approval, Madonna and Ritchie didn't get much of it for their new movie "Swept Away," which opens in theaters this weekend.
"The movie, lambasted in Ritchie's England, is as awful as you've heard and as bad as you've imagined," says Washington Post film critic Desson Howe. "The acting at the beginning borders on the laughable."
The New York Post gave it no stars, while A.O. Scott in The New York Times quickly dismissed it as "a soggy and superfluous motion picture."

Wilsonville's fifth-largest employer plans to lay off a dozen workers this month, with more cuts likely in September.
The remaining 88 layoffs won't occur until September. While it's not certain yet how many local workers would be affected in the second round, "a good portion" could be in Wilsonville, company spokesman Tom Peacock said.
The facility will remain open with a workforce of about 400, Peacock said. TE Connectivity employed 462 last year, according to a city financial report released in June.
TE Connectivity reported sales of $13.3 billion in the fiscal year that ended in September, down from $13.8 billion a year earlier. It employs 88,000 in 50 countries.

I picked up some S&S 125 gr. cast bullets and some 9mm Luger dies at a gun show and loaded some up. The one on the left is loaded at 1.125, which is what I have listed for minimum OAL. I thought it looked at bit strange, so I seated the bullet down a bit more to 1.090 and applied a slight roll crimp. I test fired 30 of each and they performed similarly with no problems. The only other cast bullets I load are for revolvers, so I'm not as concerned with their OAL. Any insight or recommendations?

In Brief: Gov't moves to ban drones in 400 national parks
U.S. moves to ban drones in 401 national parks
WASHINGTON -- The National Park Service is taking steps to ban drones from 84 million acres of public lands and waterways, saying the unmanned aircraft annoy visitors, harass wildlife and threaten safety.
Jonathan Jarvis, the park service's director, said he doesn't want drones flushing birds from their nests, hovering over rock climbers as they cling to the sides of cliffs or buzzing across the face of Mount Rushmore.
Jarvis said he would sign a policy memorandum directing superintendents of the service's 401 parks to write rules prohibiting the launching, landing or operation of unmanned aircraft in their parks.
Two large national parks, Grand Canyon in Arizona and Zion in Utah, have already changed their rules to ban drones.
Doctors Without Borders: Ebola 'out of control'
DAKAR, Senegal -- The Ebola outbreak ravaging West Africa is "totally out of control," according to a senior official for Doctors Without Borders, who said the medical group is stretched to the limit in responding.
The outbreak has caused more deaths than any other of the disease, said another official with the medical charity. Ebola has been linked to more than 330 deaths in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, according to the World Health Organization.
International organizations and the governments involved need to send in more health experts and increase public education messages about how to stop the spread of the disease, Bart Janssens, the director of operations for the medical group in Brussels, said Friday.
Bombing, arrests spark fear in Lebanon
BEIRUT -- A suicide bomber detonated his vehicle Friday near a police checkpoint in eastern Lebanon, while troops raided two hotels in the capital, arresting 17 suspected members of an al-Qaida breakaway group allegedly plotting terrorist attacks in the country.
It was not clear if the two incidents were related. But the bombing -- the first since March -- along with the security dragnet in and around Beirut sparked fears of renewed violence in a country that has been buffeted by the conflict in neighboring Syria.
Friday's bombing was the first in several months, suggesting a possible link to events in Iraq, where the al-Qaida splinter group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, has seized large chunks of territory in the country's north.
Israeli troops kill Palestinian in arrest raids
RAMALLAH, West Bank -- Israeli soldiers killed a 13-year-old Palestinian in clashes during West Bank raids Friday, hospital officials said, as a search for three Israeli teens feared abducted in the territory entered its second week.
Three other Palestinians were seriously wounded by army gunfire during raids in four towns and refugee camps.
Friday's death raised to two the number of Palestinians shot dead by troops during search operations this week.
The three Jewish seminary students disappeared June 12 while hitchhiking in the West Bank. Israel has blamed the Islamic militant Hamas group for the apparent abduction.

"I counted them all out and I counted them all back."
- Brian Hanrahan, BBC News, 1982
AIR WARNING RED is a game of air warfare over the South Atlantic in 1982.
The game models the air campaign between the Argentine air forces and the Royal Navy Taskforce supporting the recapture of the Falklands.
Based on a brand new air combat system, Air Warning Red will focus on the Argentine attempts to locate and attack the Royal Navy forces and stall the land advance across the islands. It will feature Exocet attacks, Learjet photo recon missions, Argentine air refuelling, and the radar at Stanley. Political considerations will highly restrict the Argentine Junta's actions, forcing them to withdraw assets from the battle should combat losses and loss of military prestige threaten internal security and the balance of power with Chile.
Air Warning Red is currently in the preliminary stages of development and will be designed by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood. A day raid module that recreates the historical raids and losses of a single day of the air campaign has been developed. However, a campaign system to link the days together is still under design.
A number of possible options are under consideration for Air Warning Red. One is to ditch the two-player concept entirely and craft the game as a solitaire effort, in which the player plays the Argentine forces and the Royal Navy is driven by a deck of cards. No final decision has yet been made on this design.
ILLUSTRATION: An early 11 x 17" playtest map used in developing the raid module. The final map will probably be 17 x 22" and will support a number of counter displays and tracks.
All questions and enquiries should be directed to the designer Lee Brimmicombe-Wood at: leebwood at googlemail dot com (Note that this address has been modified to protect against web spiders and other malware.)

Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"Sand people always walk in single file to hide their numbers."

Ramona Singer Cries And Begs Restaurant To Accomodate Avery's Graduation Party!
We know a mama bear will do anything for her little baby, but…what happened was Real Housewives of New York City star Ramona Singer's daughter Avery is done with high school and Ramona just wanted everything to be purple and perfect for her little princess!
Ramona had booked Cognac East for a Sunday afternoon party for 10, celebrating Avery's high school graduation. Ramona came in Friday to check up on everything and make sure it was going off without a hitch, except she learned the restaurant was not opened during the day yet!
The New York Post reports, "When she learned Avery's celebration would have to be postponed, Ramona burst into tears and began pleading with chef Florian Hugo." An eyewitness added that Ramona just cried in front of everyone!
The restaurant agreed to host Ramona and Avery at another of their restaurants but Ramona would not budge, because this restaurant had a purple private dining room! And Avery's favorite color is purple! "This is my only child graduating high school. I got so crazed, I said, 'You have to help me,'" confirms Ramona.
Ramona's tantrum paid off, though, because according to the site, "After much begging by Singer, the restaurant agreed to open up just for Avery," and after having to schedule some staff for the day time, the party went on just fine.
Are you surprised Ramona would pull this stunt? I'm not! But on the flip side, the restaurant hostess had messed up the reservations! She should have known the restaurant doesn't even open during the day yet.

Avery used to look like her father. Now she is starting to look like her mother.
I just really am not looking forward to RHONY anymore. Ramona killed the show for me.
I wish Ramona and Sonya would get the ax. They are just so gross and selfish.
The employee that made the error needs to be fired or at least demoted, and the party should have been comp'ted. Crying to get them to honor the reservation may be a little extreme but is very understandable. Imagine the frustration alone, let alone thee fact that like there not being enough room at home it would be almost impossible to find another venue, and what you might find would not be as special. Ramona cried. She could have taken out a full page ad in the Times and maligned the restaurant and been totally justified. Sure way to tank a business, they may have problems trying to sell their private room facilities from this attempt to smear Mrs Singer. Remember she is well known and not just from this TV show. Dangerous move on their part to allow this to reach the public.
Not surprised at all that Romona would cause a scene to get what she wanted. Why was afternoon so important? Why not just move the time to when they opened? Couldnt be more than a few hours. And Avery has grown up into a beautiful young lady. I just hope she dont act like her mother.
I totally agree with the comment above by Tori. If the restaurant made the mistake, of which obviously they did, then ramona went ahead & made the plans for not only her, her family, but for 10 other people. Why should they have to change their plans because the restaurant made a mistake? She shouldn't have had to beg. And why is it a big deal for renting a simple room at a restaurant in the 1st place? Some people on this site make the biggest deal out of something that's not a big deal at all. She could have rented a whole ball room in a hotel with hundreds of people & media etc…like a lot of other "celebrities"… But she didnt, just a private room in a restaurant just like a normal person would!!!
I wonder if people think renting a private room is some big expense lol. It's usually just a very small fee less than $100 and then a guaranteed gratuity percentage so you don't screw over the waiter's tip for taking care of a big group. Probably the most normal party a housewife has held.
I don't see what the issue is. They booked her at that time so whoever booked her made the mistake. That's not her fault. She wanted that room so of course she begged them to let her use it and she shouldn't have even had to beg. They should honor their mistake.
And I don't see why it's an issue that Ramona rented a room in a restaurant for a graduation party. That's what they are for lol. My mom rented a room at my favorite restaurant for both my high school and college graduation. She probably would have cried too if they messed up the reservation.
Avery is pretty. Thank goodness she didn't get her mom's crazy eyes.
I hope she tipped well!
Ramona's daughter is pretty. Hopefully, she is not as loud and obnoxious.
Well why did they book her in the first place if the restaurant wasnt even open? So then that would make it the restaurants fault. And its quite disgusting they even leaked the story to the post. How sad!
The woman has no shame. Whatever happened to throwing a party at your own house?
Do you live in Manhattan? Home space is most always too small to host anybody………
Although Ramona is one of my least like HW's, I grudgingly am on her side on this issue. The restaurant screwed up not Ramona. Doesn't the manager look at the reservations ahead of time in order to make sure they are adequately staffed and all? Why wasn't this mistake caught? Thank goodness she did go in a day early to make sure all was going smooth! Can you imagine showing up with your party of ten and the joint ain't even open??
Why are people bashing Ramona for this? From the story, it sounds like she already booked the event and then came to check up on the progress and the restaurant made an error.
I would be pissed off too!
I am not going to be critical of Ramona because there is nothing worse than planning an event and being told at the last moment that there is a problem. Last year I planned a dinner for my son's college graduation in La Jolla. As I was driving down from LA, I get a call asking if I am still having the event. Thankful that my BFF was with me and was able to handle the call. Had to bypass my spa treatments at the resort and head directly to the restaurant to do menu planning again as they lost all the paperwork. It did work out to my benefit as we had about $4500 in food and beverage and they only charged me $1500 to compensate for my frustration.
So sorry your day was ruined. Really, planned for $4500 in food/bev? And you had to miss a spa day over it? Apparently you have a really hard, hard life.
How is this a stunt? It sounds like the restaurant messed up. This isn't Ramona's fault. I think many people would get upset by the mistake the restaurant made.
I would have! I have one graduating next year 🙁
Regardless of her reaction the restaurant should have accomodated her since they made the mistake. I'd rather have someone beg and cry then be vile, nasty, etc.
If they booked it and didn't tell her until she came in to check right before the party, I don't blame her. If they could not accommodate, then they had not business making the booking.
Well at least Ramona went with her strengths.
What a bone head, she claims to do anything for daughter, couldn't be bothered to see if venue is OPEN!!!
I wonder what the menu will be, as the chef is honored for his dishes, that have cognac as the ingredient?
And, hmm…either the teens are going to sneek in big mac's or a special menu will be prepared for Avery (who is gorgeous and intelligent) as the specialty of this restaurant is french food.
Oh well, I too would climb the highest mountain for my angel, but would check weather before starting!
Hmmm..the restaurant's fault….okay..it's her child,her responsibility to ask question's and she is paying for this shin dig…but she is to clueless to include the information of
time event starts and ends….right!!!
Why is it okay for this parent to not have to use her complete brain?
Hmph..my shoes tast digusting…I just read the whole story in the new york post…apparently a hostess did take the reservations for the afternoon..even though the new restaurant is closed in the afternoon.
Shoe leather doesn't taste very good, perhaps ketchup will help.
Apparently Ramona did use 100% of her brain..and did have a "tantrum" her words.
Still don't know what the menu would be for the teen's, as this chef is renowned for his menu prepared with cognac.
Perhaps I should go back to my old habits of reading the actual article before mouthing off…will eat foot less
Can't stand her!!!! I WILL NOT watch NY this year, not worth my time, maybe I'll be more entertained watching paint dry….,
When I read this and having trouble reading the lighter prints. People who cant see it it get so frustrating. Ilove reading it all the time but it very hard on me not able to see it. Can anybody use like color print instead lighter like that. I apperciated it. 😀
IF this is true, that's just pathetic. Who would beg like that for a damn party cuz of the purple room? These celebs and faux-celebs need to get a life and some perspective on what's really important.
LOL! On another note. . Did Kenya really get evicted from her house? ?

In a crufty BIND 8 environment, I observed a similar problem where
slave name servers were not maintaining synchronisation with the
master name server when dynamic DNS updates were enabled. All
dynamic updates were being performed by an ISC DHCP server or
manually using nsupdate.
That last statement isn't entirely correct. I do allow Windows
Active Directory domain controllers to update the DomainDNSZones,
ForestDNSZones, _MSDCS, _SITES, _TCP, and _UDP subdomains.
To maintain synchronisation, I found that I needed to have the
"maintain-ixfr-base yes;" global option set on all name servers and
that I needed to have a "server" statement for the master name server
in each of the slave name server configuration files.
Prior to implementing this, the slave servers would only catch up
when the refresh interval expired and, immediately, lose
synchronisation when DHCP removed resource records for expired leases
or created new resource records for a new lease.

Public Housing Capital Improvement
The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) initiated a Formula Funding (FF) Program in June 2010 to ensure that capital funds awarded to state-aided public housing are distributed in an equitable, transparent and predictable manner. LHAs can count on receiving a multi-year award of FF in order to plan for and implement capital projects that combine local resources and expertise with DHCD's technical and project management assistance to meet their most urgent building preservation needs of state-aided public housing programs for low-income families, elderly and persons with disabilities.
Each LHA's is a proportional needs-based share of DHCD's capital funding as determined by the state-wide Capital Planning System (CPS) inventory of expired building and site components of state-aided public housing.
To spend FF, LHAs must have a DHCD-approved Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that prioritizes three years of capital projects. Each LHA updates its CIP shortly after submitting its annual Operating Budget. By preparing the CIP and Operating budget in tandem, the LHA can comprehensively address the use of capital, operating and maintenance resources for its state-aided portfolio.
For additional information, please contact David McClave at (617) 573-1165.

After a groundbreaking debt fundraising year, Pemex is targeting issuance in more new markets in 2013, its treasury manager says.
