ADELAIDE — Cricket is a team game, but that does not spare the individual.
When the spotlight shines, there is no escape. No matter where the search delves for reasons to explain South Africa's decline to Australia in the second Test, there is nothing to suggest otherwise that one man has been the difference between the teams. And his name is Imran Tahir.
There is nothing to suggest his immediate elevation to the Test team was wrong, or even slightly misguided. All the evidence suggested he deserved preferential treatment and was a "gamble" worth taking. He was the missing ingredient to make a very good team a great one.
His cricket skills remain unquestioned. No bowler in history has taken almost 650 first-class wickets at an average of 25 without possessing outrageous talent. His journey in Test cricket, however, has been strewn with potholes until this past weekend — when it hit a brick wall. The damage is immense, perhaps irreparable. Most insurance companies would write him off.
Despite being a confident and gregarious character, Tahir was "managed" a little too carefully at the beginning of his international career. Too little credit was given to the experience he had gained playing a dozen years for 16 first-class teams, and the Proteas' management wrapped him in cotton wool. Tahir did not need protecting off the field and, perhaps, he did not need as much protection on it, either.
South Africa's management were so desperate for Tahir to succeed that they believed he would benefit from "extreme" support. Protection from awkward interviews, no discussion about potential failure or "bad days at the office", little acknowledgment of the harsh, brutal realities of Test cricket.
In retrospect, would the management team have chosen a route of "tough love" ahead of the smothering, unconditional support he was given? Two innings returns of 0/180 and 0/80 add up to the worst of all time in a Test. Luck does not come into it. Why was he so poor? Perhaps, because he was "talked up" so much by team-mates and management, he felt an increased weight and burden of expectation.
What we heard was: "Imran is a high-quality cricketer, we back him all the way, it's just a matter of time until he wins games for us, the big return is just around the corner."
How differently might Tahir have felt if contrary sentiments had been expressed? "Imran has done very well at first-class level, and that's why we are picking him.
"But there is a big step up to the next level and it's up to him to prove he has what it takes. There are no easy tickets in international cricket and Immy will have to earn his, the hard way if necessary."
He was presented as a virtually guaranteed match-winner, but also one who needed protection from (sorry — "management with") the media. A contradiction, surely?
Instead of believing he had to fight his way to the top, he was placed at the top from the outset and then had to justify being there.
Most sportsmen will tell you it is easier to win coming from behind rather than front-running, especially when you have been placed at the front of the pack.
AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis might bat for four hours to set up the possibility of an extraordinary draw. Jacques Kallis may yet play a role, too. Could Rory Kleinveldt bat for a session? And how glorious would it be for Tahir to survive the final 20 minutes to secure a draw? Fairytale stuff to book-end a nightmare.
There are showers forecast for the final day, too. Another straw to clutch at. Dale Steyn has taken five wickets in two Tests at an average of 52. Jacques Rudolph has been a massive disappointment.
But Tahir's 260-run concession is the difference between the teams. They cannot be reclaimed.
Something, however, surely can be learnt from his caution-laden introduction to Test cricket.

Man, it's so good to see those blue uniforms on my TV screen again. So good.
For shame that the Thunder kind of crapped the bed a bit, especially on the defensive end and overall in the second half. The Heat beat OKC 103-96 behind 23 from Chris Bosh and 22 from LeBron. Kevin Durant had 21 for OKC and Russell Westbrook 18 points and six assists. Some life-changing thoughts:
- I don't think people are giving Chris Bosh enough credit. Everyone is talking Wade and LeBron, but geez, Chris Bosh is really, really good. Especially when he has that mid-range jumper working. He went straight at Jeff Green and really overwhelmed him. Before you get too crazy yelling and throwing things about Green, keep in mind we are talking about one of the top two or three power forwards in the game. A LOT of people are going to be overwhelmed by Bosh. Doesn't mean I would've loved to have seen something better from Green though.
- It was a tough night on both ends though for Uncle Jeff. He gets manhandled by Bosh on one end, and on the other he went 1-11 from the floor. One night he's 9-14, the next he's 1-11. That kind of stuff happens in preseason.
- Cole Aldrich started and it was hard not to like what you saw. His line was meh: 22 minutes, two points, 1-1 from the field, four rebounds, three blocks. That definitely doesn't impress. But Aldrich sets really, really nice screens. He's a worker and was constantly active on the glass, tipping rebounds and working on the interior. For only his second professional game, I'm encouraged that he can contribute this season.
- Aldrich just awkwardly pumps his arms when he walks, jogs or runs full speed. I can't get over it. It's probably because his arms are so dang long. They're like impressively long. His wingspan covers almost the entire lane when he spreads out. He definitely will be a defensive force at some point.
- Of the starters, the only plus was Aldrich who finished with a plus-six.
- Daequan Cook could be extremely valuable. Not as a primary rotation player, but as a guy that comes in off the bench for 5-8 minutes, spreads the floor, hits two quick 3s and then sits back down. The guy can definitely shoot. He's a bit streaky and after starting 2-2, he missed his next four of five, but still, 3-7 from deep is nice. I'd definitely give him the edge over Morris Peterson right now.
- After a nice first half, the Thunder just went to poo offensively in the third. They were outscored 32-19 and Durant just never really got the jumper going. KD finished 5-13 from the floor but as KD tends to do, made up at the line hitting 10-10.
- The Thunder wore white shoes with the blues. I THOUGHT WE WERE PAST THIS.
- No Byron Mullens, Peterson, Elijah Millsap, Tweety Carter, Longar Longar, Jerome Dyson or Royal Ivey. Kind of disappointed we didn't see Millsap. I still think he has a shot with this organization.
- James Harden had one of those nights where it never really got going for him. He finished with 15 points and five rebounds, but on 2-8 shooting with five turnovers. The one thing about Harden now though is he's finding his way to the line. He's great at driving and the fact he was 8-8 from the stripe is very nice.
- One thing that's much improved with Russell Westbrook is his handle. He's playing as fast as he did his rookie year when he was often reckless and out of control. But now, he's flying up the court completely control of the ball. It's edge-of-your-seat stuff every time he has the ball. It's like a hand-off to Adrian Peterson. It's just exciting. Prepare for Russell Westbrook this season, NBA. Consider yourself warned.
It's preseason and there's definitely some rust and some kinks to get worked out. This isn't the finished product and while there were some encouraging, nice things, there were definitely some things that need to be sorted out.
Next up is Memphis in Tulsa Oct. 12.

By Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall, 25th Combat Aviation Brigade Public AffairsMarch 30, 2010
CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE SPEICHER, Iraq - U.S. Soldiers from Battery B, 2nd Battalion, 32nd Field Artillery Regiment conducted an air assault with Iraqi Police from the Emergency Response Unit, and Rapid Deployment Unit from Contingency Operating Location Danger, near Tikrit, Iraq, Feb. 25. Troopers from 3rd Battalion, 25th General Support Aviation Battalion, Task Force Hammerhead, led the air assault with aircraft from Company Alpha and Bravo, 3-25 GSAB, and Alpha Troop, 2nd Battalion, 6th Cavalry Regiment, Task Force Diamond Head.
The partnered air assault inserted ISF and U.S. forces into three objectives in Salah ad-Din province. According to Lt. Col. Robert Cain, commander, 2/32 FA, the mission -- termed "Operation Bright Eagle" -- was to deny enemy networks ability to disrupt Provincial elections by confiscating unauthorized weapons and interdicting suspected terrorists. By all accounts, Bright Eagle accomplished its objectives.
"The Iraqi Police captured 22 individuals during the Operation. Additionally, Iraqi Police from the ERU and RDU worked together not only to develop their own plan, but to also execute quite a large scale operation successfully," said Lt. Col. Cain.
Although Lt. Col. Cain's Soldiers were introduced to very capable Iraqi Security Forces when 2/32 FA arrived in theater last year, his Soldiers' efforts teaching advanced policing techniques demonstrably improved ISF planning and execution processes.
"The Iraqi Security Forces conducted the Operation well. They performed good rehearsals in preparation for the air assault and quickly cleared each objective," continued Lt. Col. Cain. "They showed that the ISF can reach outlying areas and conduct large joint operations. We [also received] excellent aviation support for our ground units."
That aviation support came from Task Forces Hammerhead and Diamond Head. They employed multiple aircraft and unmanned aerial systems and provided the lift support and aerial reconnaissance for ground forces. Their combined effort placed the ERU, RDU and U.S. forces in precise positions to accomplish mission objectives.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Owen Connors, is a CH-47D Chinook helicopter pilot with Co. B, 3/25th GSAB, and was one of several pilots who inserted troops into the objectives. Chief Warrant Officer 2 Owen Conners was quick to recognize the importance of the mission in furthering the partnership between U.S. and Iraqi Security Forces.
"It's extremely important for the Iraqis to provide their own security," said CW2 Connors. "Any support we can give them absolutely helps - it helps for these elections and, in a broader sense, it helps to give them a sense of ownership.
"Again, all we did was help; we provided the lift capability and 2/32 FA [Soldiers] showed them how [valuable the] use of helicopters can be. The actual 'boots on the ground' part was all Iraqis."
Captain Robert Beale, commander, Co. B., 3/25th GSAB, TF Hammerhead, elaborated on the importance of continuing to engage ISF in partnered air assaults.
"We're setting conditions for the Iraq military and Iraq police to provide their own security and enable them to further establish and develop their own democracy," said Capt. Beale. "They're definitely moving in the right direction not only with our assistance but also with help other coalition forces have provided the past couple of years. [The ISF] are right on the right track."
Another testament to the improved capability of the IP was how quickly they learned how to safely enter and exit aircraft. Cold load training is often conducted with less experienced passengers when aircraft are shut down and before missions to ensure all passengers understand the elements of loading and unloading a helicopter. According to the pilots involved, passengers should be able to exit the aircraft and safely position themselves within 15 seconds of touching-down on an objective.
"During the cold load training portion of the mission, comparing the Iraqi Army units and the U.S. Army, they were all on and off the aircraft quickly," said Capt. Beale. "They definitely made it look like they've been doing it for a while."
"They were very fast learners," added Chief Warrant Officer 3 Scott Peterson, another CH-47D Chinook pilot, who flew one of the aircraft during the mission.

IT IS NECESSARY to delay most major surgical procedures for patients who have asthma until the patient's cough, paroxysmal dyspnea and orthopnea are well controlled. This is particularly important in surgical procedures directed to the thoracic, renal and upper abdominal areas, in which splinting of the diaphragm commonly occurs postoperatively.1 Usually, but not always, a preliminary period of hospitalization with symptomatic treatment and appropriate attention to any existing complications of asthma suffices to get the patient ready for the needed operation. However, we have recently encountered difficulty in bringing asthma under control within a reasonable period in four patients who needed surgical attention. In one patient who had colic from gallstones while she was receiving preoperative treatment of her asthma, cortisone brought about prompt remission of the asthma, which permitted successful and uncomplicated cholecystectomy. For a second patient who had a large incarcerated umbilical hernia, corticotropin (ACTH) was resorted

Motorola Moto XCompare8.5 reviewThe revolutionary Moto X lets you customize every nook and cranny of the outer appearance, down to your own boot animation, and headphones to match your back cover color. Every aspect of the phone was rehashed in line with the function it performs, rather than chasing the specs-o-meter. Moto went with OLED, as it makes possible the Active Display notification function, but it is a standard RGB matrix OLED, so you still get plenty of true pixel density, "without wasting power on pixels most people can't see". The X8 processor might have "just" two CPU cores, but it is rethought from the ground up to make the always-on environmental awareness of the phone possible with power-sipping extra processing cores. The 10 MP camera might not be in line with the 13 MP on current flagships, but is the first to utilize the Clear Pixel technology that lets it soak much more light, and so on.+ View Specs

Exact dimensions go as follows: 137.5x71.20x8.5 mm, so pretty thin despite the giant battery, and fairly light for a 5-incher at 160 grams, or 5.6 ounces. The "Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System" SoC sports 1.7 GHz dual-core application processor, 400 MHz quad-core GPU, natural language processor, and a contextual computing processor, for an octa-core concoction, claims Moto. The 10 MP camera on the back sports the new ClearPixel technology, which applies different RGBC color filter than the traditional Bayer RGBG one, bringing in more photons at low-light scenarios thus dealing better with blur and noise, at least on theory.+ View Specs

Motorola DROID UltraCompare8.7 reviewThe Motorola Droid Ultra comes with a 5-inch HD display. The device is both thinner and more durable than earlier devices thanks to a new unibody kevlar construction. Thickness comes at the slim 7.18mm making this the thinnest 4G LTE phone out there. A brand new dual-core X8 Mobile Computing system is powering the device allowing exciting new features like 'Touchless control' that has your phone listening to you at all times, something we saw on the Moto X leaks. There's also the 'active display' technology that only lights up a part of the screen to conserve battery. Technically, a dual-core processor is what's under the hood, don't get fooled by the '8-core' talk in the event. The Droid Ultra features an f/2.4 10-megapixel camera and chances are this is the same unit we'll see on the Motorola Moto X.+ View Specs

The voter identification law subject of much debate and angst is getting a soft rollout in the upcoming Primary Election locally.
The law passed last month in Pennsylvania is described often as one of the toughest voter identification laws in the nation. Some people have suggested it was passed to make it more difficult for certain people to vote. The harshest critics have gone so far as to suggest the law is meant to tip the scales toward Republican candidates and to make re-election of President Obama unfairly difficult.
So let's take a deep breath and consider the spirit and mechanics of the law.
The bill requires all voters to provide photo identification before they can vote in the November election. That means the voter's name and photo on a card, most typically a driver's license. A U.S. passport or military ID also would work. A non-driver's license photo ID also is available free of charge through the local Department of Transportation License Center.
No one who arrives at a polling place, even in November, will be denied their right to vote, even if they are lacking the voter identification. They will be given a provisional paper ballot and will have six days to affirm their identification, in person, by email or fax.
For the Primary Election, no photo identification will be required to vote, but those lacking it will be instructed on how to get it for November. After the Primary Election, the county will begin an initiative to educate county voters, particularly those in nursing homes and other elder care facilities, on how to get a photo ID.
None of this sounds like an attempt to keep people from voting.
But it is a way to guard against voter fraud. And it doesn't matter much to us that there hasn't been an outbreak of voter fraud in Pennsylvania. The idea is to protect the integrity of each vote before it is abused, not after an election is called into question.
We don't agree with overly intrusive questions that have to be answered and the elongated process required of Amish people and members of other Mennonite sects who object to having photos taken but are seeking to comply with the law. Some of that process could be softened.
But the spirit of the law is correct. And those in an uproar over it need to explain why a simple photo ID requirement for a vote is a matter of such concern. IDs are necessary for many normal daily functions, so it shouldn't be a big deal requiring it for our most sacred of democratic rights voting.

3 ways to stay safe this holiday weekend
If you must be near fireworks, keep these tips in mind
Never give fireworks to small children, and always follow the instructions on the packaging.
Keep a supply of water close by as a precaution.
Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection.
Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight "a dud."
While grilling, here is how to have fun without hurting yourself
Always supervise a barbecue grill when in use.
Never grill indoors -- not in your house, camper, tent or any enclosed area.
Make sure everyone, including the pets, stays away from the grill.
Keep the grill out in the open, away from the house, the deck, tree branches or anything that could catch fire.
Use the long-handled tools especially made for cooking on the grill to keep the chef safe.
Have fun in the sun, without pain
Limit exposure to direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 15. Reapply sunscreen often. Remember to drink plenty of water regularly, even if not thirsty. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine in them.
During hot weather, watch for signs of heat stroke -- hot, red skin; changes in consciousness; rapid, weak pulse; rapid, shallow breathing.

Home winemakers drink up
Thirsting for a fruitful hobby? Consider home winemaking -- it might be easier than you think.
For Tim Wachter of Fairview, winemaking sounded like a fun pastime he could fit into his busy schedule as an attorney and father of three children under the age of 5.
"Anytime you need a little getaway, it's nice to sit and ponder with the wine," Wachter says.
After his father-in-law started crafting his own wine in Cincinnati, Wachter figured he'd give it a try. He picked up a winemaking kit at BierHaus International in Erie -- all-inclusive kits start around $50, he says -- and began in his basement in December 2010. Since then, Wachter has produced a diverse portfolio of wines including cabernet sauvignon, blackberry, cranberry malbec and riesling.
"It's addicting," he says. "It's a lot of fun."
Wachter says his father-in-law goes into great detail designing a custom label for each bottle and names each batch after one of his children and grandchildren. Computer programs like Microsoft Publisher or Adobe Photoshop make designing custom labels easy and affordable -- but Wachter says he prefers to keep things simple.
"If you're lazy, like me, you just stick some duct tape on it and call it 'gray label wine' and give it to your friends," he says with a laugh.
To begin your home winemaking operation, stop by a local retailer for your supplies, like thermometer and a hydrometers, a siphon hose, ingredients, bottles and corks.
Some winemakers prefer to work from winemaking kits, which include premeasured juice and yeast, while others opt to purchase ingredients a la carte. Once the ingredients are mixed, the wine begins to ferment and must be "racked" -- siphoned between containers to remove the sediment. After a few months of fermentation, racking and aging -- with periodic sampling to check the wine's progress -- the wine can be bottled, corked and aged to taste.
Phil Murawski of Erie has been making his own wine since his wife, Lynn, gave him a winemaking kit as a Christmas gift in 2007. After that first batch of Gew�rztraminer, he was hooked. Now the Murawskis make about 75 gallons of wine per year.
"Once you start doing it, you realize how simple it is," Phil says. "And you can't beat the price."
He estimates a bottle of his homemade wine costs about $2.
Phil -- a painting contractor by trade -- teamed up with Lynn to convert their garage into a charming wine room, which they use for both production and entertaining. Lynn loves picking up wine-themed d�cor -- custom coasters, a used wine barrel that doubles as an end table and hand-painted wineglasses. Though Phil handles the majority of the winemaking, she does lend a hand bottling -- "You can have a drink in between," she says with a smile.
The Murawskis' shelves are lined with dozens of bottles of their wine, from robust semi-dry reds to sweet and fruity. "Don't be afraid of it -- it's fun. Even if you fail, you're only out $35 or so for the juice. Just chalk it up to experience and move on," Lynn says.
Phil agrees.
"There's a lot more people making wine than you think," Phil says. "It's a good way to relax and unwind." LEL

Guests on the album include her husband, Marc Anthony, as well as Fat Joe and Fabolous, who joins J.Lo on a special version of "Get Right". Other songs include "Hold You Down," "Step Into My World," "Still Around" and "Cherry Pie."
DELIVERED: A 55-year-old Virginia woman, acting as a surrogate for her daughter, gave birth to triplets Tuesday. The two boys and one girl were delivered a month and a half prematurely by Caesarean section at Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital. Surrogate mother Tina Cade experienced "mild complications," which the hospital said is not uncommon for such surgery. Cade carried her own grandchildren for her oldest daughter, Camille Hammond, who suffers from endometriosis, a condition that affects the lining of the uterus and makes it difficult to become pregnant. The infants were in intensive care. The boys weighed 4 lbs. 9 oz., and 3 lbs. 12 oz.; the girl weighed 4 lbs. 10 oz. The family said on the "Today" show Wednesday that they want to keep the babies' names private.
DIED: Legendary country, rock and jazz guitarist Hank Garland, 74, died of a staph infection Monday at Orange Park Medical Center in Florida, reports the Associated Press. Garland performed with such giants as Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline, Charlie Parker, Conway Twitty, Hank Williams Sr. and many others. Working with the King from 1957-61, Garland played on "Little Sister" and "Big Hunk of Love."

The week's least-watched show among the four broadcast networks was FOX's The Rebel Billionaire, with a paltry 2.8 million viewers – the network's lowest rating for that hour since FOX was launched in 1993.
ANTICIPATED: Security will be tight as mild New Year's Eve weather is expected to bring capacity crowds to New York's Times Square. New York's Daily News reports that although no specific threats have been made against the city, there will be beefed up counter-terrorism patrols, and outgoing Secretary of State Colin Powell, who will be back in his home town to help drop the New Year's Eve ball, and will be accompanied by his own security team.

Air Force Airman Jonathan L. Bias and Air Force Reserve Airman 1st Class David J. Winchell graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio.
The airmen completed an eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness and basic warfare principles and skills.
Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.
Bias is the son of Catrina Bias of South Main Street, Albion. He is a 2011 graduate of Albion High School.
Winchell is a 2011 graduate of Newfane High School.
Army Reserve Spc. Yasmeen Smith has graduated from basic combat training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, S.C.
During the nine weeks of training, Smith studied the Army mission, history, tradition and core values and physical fitness, and received instruction and practice in basic combat skills, military weapons, chemical warfare and bayonet training, drill and ceremony, marching, rifle marksmanship, armed and unarmed combat, map reading, field tactics, military courtesy, military justice system, basic first aid, foot marches and field training exercises.
She is a 2008 graduate of Niagara Wheatfield High School. She earned a bachelor's degree in 2012 from Niagara University.
The Rev. Joseph L. Levesque, Niagara University president, was recently presented a service award from the Turkish Cultural Center inBuffalo and the Peace Islands Institute.
The honor is granted in recognition of exemplary services and contribution to the service learning education in fighting poverty.
The Turkish Cultural Center and the Peace Islands Institute co-organized the Fourth Annual Friendship Dinner and Awards Ceremony on Nov. 26, which brought academics, elected officials and other community leaders together to promote diversity, peace and mutual understanding through dialogue. Levesque was unable to attend this year's event, prompting his receipt of the award Dec. 7.
The Turkish Cultural Center in Buffalo was founded in December 2005 by the Turkish-American community in Buffalo to increase awareness of Turkish culture, music, literature and arts in the society; to build strong bridges between Turkish and American people based on respect, understanding and tolerance; and to help Turkish immigrants and refugees adapt to the life in Buffalo and America.
Niagara University and 12 partners, including the Niagara Falls City School District, have been awarded an Investing in Innovation grant of $3 million from the U.S. Department of Education.
The federally funded program is designed to advance student achievement in high-need schools in grades three through six in mathematics and science through improved teacher preparation and early-career teaching support.
The project, "Building a Pipeline of Teaching Excellence," capitalizes on the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards' unique repository of case studies of accomplished teaching, including videos of board-certified teachers paired with reflective analyses describing instructional decision-making and teaching strategies. The cases will be housed in an online resource called Accomplished Teaching, Learning and Schools (ATLAS).
Through the grant, the National Board and its partners will pilot ATLAS cases in six teacher preparation programs and seven local education agencies (LEAs). The project will help embed National Board standards and exemplars of accomplished teaching in preservice and induction in participating institutions of higher education and LEAs.
The National Board will oversee this project, convening partners to develop new instructional approaches that are high-impact, cost-effective and scalable. Ultimately, ATLAS will expand across all 25 National Board certificate areas, including thousands of cases addressing all areas of the curriculum and every developmental level of pre-K-12 education.
Debra Colley, Ph.D., dean of Niagara University's College of Education, noted that the project addresses a need in teacher preparation by providing preservice programs with up-to-date tools so as to strengthen the preparation provided to teachers and extend that preparation through their early years in teaching. "National Board standards are the DNA of accomplished teaching," she said. "By embedding them at the heart of preservice and induction, we will ensure that new teachers in STEM fields will be ready for the Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards."
Over the course of the grant, the free training in early childhood learning is expected to benefit about 1,500 area teachers and impact 35,000 schoolchildren.
Black Willow Winery, a member winery of the Niagara Wine Trail, was awarded eight medals, including a gold medal, at the 2012 American Wine Society Commercial Wine Competition. Several other New York State wineries were among the top winners at the competition held last month in Portland, Ore.
Aside from the gold medal for "Odin's Nectar," Black Willow Winery's signature mead (honey wine), silver medals were also awarded to "Flight 6.1.37," a dessert wine; "Trilogy White," a white wine blend; and "Black Widow Berry," a blackberry-flavored sweet red wine. Bronze medals were also awarded to their Classic Diamond, Bare Cat Blush, 2011 Riesling Reserve, and "Freyja's Passion," a vanilla-strawberry-flavored mead.
The AWS competition is one of the oldest, most respected wine competitions in the country, drawing entries from across the United States and Canada. The competition was held over two days at the Red Lion Riverside Hotel in Portland in conjunction with the American Wine Society's 45th annual conference.
Peggy Grayson of the GLOW Region Solid Waste Management Committee was named Recycler of the Year by the New York State Association for Reduction, Reuse and Recycling (NYSAR3), the professional recyclers' association for New York State.
According to the news release submitted by the committee, Grayson is the only employee covering a multi-county area of the state for recycling, and she does it with enthusiasm and on a shoestring budget. She was one of the first in the state to execute multi-county household hazardous waste collection days and is also the driving force behind the Western New York Materials Exchange catalog. She is described as an "inspiration ... always willing to go the extra mile – or 50 – in rural communities to spread the word about recycling and get the job done, diverting waste from landfills and improving the landscape around her."
GLOW operates in Genesee, Livingston, Orleans and Wyoming counties.

An aid charity accused of supporting terrorists in Syria has been given a "clean bill of health" by an interim manager appointed last year by the Charity Commission - but the regulator says its inquiry is ongoing.
The Charity Commission has appointed an interim manager at an aid charity that was accused by The Sun of supporting Muslim fighters in Syria, as part of an ongoing investigation.
Commentators have been speculating today on the Church of Scientology gaining charitable status, following a Supreme Court ruling that a Scientology chapel is a place of religious worship under law.
Deciding how much charities should pay their executives is not the job of the Charity Commission, Acevo or the public, says Michael King.
It is grotesque to hear that an executive of an anti-poverty charity demands to be paid fives times the UK median wage.
From April HMRC has applied the fit and proper person test to all charitable tax reliefs. Michael King and Vicki Bowles explain what this means.

It's been nearly two years since Tesla Motors took
the wraps off its Model S electric sedan. The Model S represents the second
vehicle to join automaker's fleet after the Tesla
Sport. Whereas the Roadster is high-performance two-seater with little
real-world usability, the Model S features five seats and a trunk for stowing
your luggage.
Today, we're getting a bit more info on the huge LCD display
that we first saw (in rough form) on the vehicle when it was announced. We now
know that the center dash is taken
up by a huge 17" touchscreen -- the largest ever installed into a
production automobile. The display, which is powered by a single NVIDIA Tegra
processor, provides full 3D graphics for the driver/passengers. The Tegra
processor also controls the infotainment systems and the navigation system.
In addition to the massive center display, a traditional
gauge cluster is replaced by a large 12.3" LCD display that also will provide
3D graphics.
"Model S is designed for performance-oriented
efficiency. NVIDIA allows us to use the highest graphics with the lowest energy
use," said Tesla Motors CTO JB Straubel.
NVIDIA senior vice president Dan Vivoli continued, "The
Model S is a modern marvel -- a blend of beauty, performance and efficiency. Tegra's combination
of graphics power and energy efficiency make it a perfect match for the
Model S."
The Model S will carry a base price of $57,400 (before
$7,500 tax credit) and features a battery pack that weighs 1,200 pounds.
Despite a total curb weight of 4,000 pounds, the Model S can dart to 60 mph in
5.5 seconds and has a driving
range of "up to" 300 miles.
quote: The base model will have a range of 160 miles (260 km) when fully charged using a 42 kW·h battery pack (24 kW·h/100 mi, 108 mpgge). Larger, longer range battery pack options will be available as well; the options announced include a range of 230 miles (370 km) from a 65 kW·h pack (26 kW·h/100 mi, 100 mpgge) and a range of 300 miles (480 km) from an 85 kW·h pack (26 kW·h/100 mi, 100 mpgge).[27] The base battery pack will contain 5,000 lithium-ion cells, reported to be sourced from Panasonic, while the larger battery packs will both contain 8,000 cells and weigh approximately 1,200 pounds (540 kg). The largest pack will use the same number of cells, but each cell will have a 30% higher specific energy to enable the pack to store the additional energy.[28] A 45-minute QuickCharge of the 42 kW·h pack will be possible when a 3-phase 480 volt, 100 amp circuit is available (80 amp continuous draw from a 100 amp breaker).

Have u all realize the sherman in offered by Firaxis looks kind of awkward. The target is too small and the hull is too big. I wonder if any of u have better sherman tank graphics as perferably as the one u see in Rise of Nations. the "M4A3E8", posted by someone else whom I have forgotten doesn't work, becuase it is too big compare to other units in the game. :confused:

The Comeback Kissby Lani Diane Rich
Tessa Scuderi's life changed on one night 10 years ago when her best friend, Finn, took off with her beloved VW bug and her heart. It was also the night her mother died while fleeing a fire in her craft shop. Now Finn is back. While he was gone, Tessa has been raising her little sister, Izzy, and worrying that any false move will put her sister into the state's hands. So she's not ready to welcome back Finn and his connection to her troublemaking teenage days. Sparks fly though-literally and figuratively. On Finn's first day in town, he saves a burning pet shop and shares a passionate kiss with Tessa, and that's only the beginning.
Crazy in Loveby Lani Diane Rich
Flynn Daly is turning thirty. And thirty is the age where she has to, gulp, get a job. Not just any job, but a job working for her real estate magnate father, a man who's tired of supporting his daughter through her many careers. So when their great-aunt Esther Goodhouse, proprietress of a historic inn nestled in Nowhere, New York, dies, Flynn finds herself smack dab in the country, contending with a hotel staff that's unsure of their new boss, a scruffy, sexy ex-policeman named Jake Turner who's convinced that Esther's death wasn't as natural as it seemed, and the ghost of Aunt Esther herself, who starts showing up in Flynn's dreams and undoing all the personal touches that Flynn tries to make to her new home.
Dogs and Goddessesby Anne Stuart Jennifer Crusie Lani Diane Rich
Abby has just arrived in Summerville, Ohio, with her placid Newfoundland, Bowser. She's reluctantly inherited her grandmother's coffee shop, but it's not long before she's brewing up trouble in the form of magical baked goods and steaming up her life with an exasperating college professor. And then there's Daisy, a web code writer, and her hyperactive Jack Russell, Bailey. Her tightly-wound world spins out of control when she discovers the chaos within and meets a mysterious dog trainer whose teaching style is definitely hands-on. Finally there's Shar, professor of ancient history at Summerville College, who wakes up one morning to find her neurotic dachshund, Wolfie, snarling at an implacable god sitting at her kitchen table, the first thing in her life she hasn't been able to footnote. What on earth is going on in this unearthly little town? It's up to Abby, Daisy, and Shar to find out before an ancient goddess takes over Southern Ohio, and they all end up in the apocalyptic doghouse...
Time Off for Good Behaviorby Lani Diane Rich
Took a swing at lawyer. Lost job. Fell in love out of my league. Can I start over? WHEN LIFE GETS A LITTLE STICKY...There should have been hazard warnings on the road to Wanda Lane's thirties. Her parents haven't spoken to her in years. Her ex-husband calls from Alaska often, either begging forgiveness or threatening to kill her, depending on which way the wind is blowing. As if that isn't bad enough, Wanda suffers a head injury after taking a swing at an obnoxious lawyer. Now she's hearing phantom music she can't identify...or shut off. What's a girl to do? Well, drink. Try to convince sexy attorney Walter Briggs to help her sue just about everyone she's ever met. And with the help of a straight-shooting therapist friend, paper her apartment walls with sticky notes listing what she wants out of life--and who she wants it with. Now, if only she could place that song...

Taking a stand on the Southside party
Gray Areas
August 29, 2013
It's time for another round of, "Sit or Stand," the endless debate on proper concert etiquette....
I've rarely been to concerts where people didn't stand in front of their seats. I think that's expected by most concert goers. But if people are standing in front of the walkway where they're not supposed to be, that's a very different issue. I don't think most concert goers expect to sit at rock concerts.

Thanks for "getting it", almost. People standing up in front of me and in front of THEIR CHAIR is expected and most are totally prepared to deal with that. The problem was caused by the selfish folks who waited until the band hit the stage and then rushed up to the WALKWAY between Gold and Silver. They were there for the duration, we paid $50 to look at the back of their heads all night. If you can't see the difference there, then I give up.

Tracy Hadley scored 26 points as the Panthers knocked off the Indians 63-47 on Friday night. The victory is Pascagoula's first against Biloxi since the 2006 Gulfport Holiday Classic.
"Defensively, we really got after them good and we handled their pressure," said Pascagoula coach Tony Combs, whose team won for the fourth time in five games overall. "We were really physical. Tracy shot the ball really well, as did some other guys. Offensively and defensively, tonight was an improvement. We've just got to keep moving forward."
Pascagoula (8-7) began the second quarter with a 9-0 run to break open a game that was tied 13-13 after one period. The Panthers outscored the Indians 16-4 in the quarter, with La'Datren Deas scoring seven of those.
The Panthers hit four 3-pointers in the third, three by Hadley and one by Paul Plainer. Deas ended the night with 13 points and eight rebounds, while Plainer added 10 points.
"We came out with intensity on defense," Hadley said. "We knew they were tough. But our offense came to play. We shot the ball well as a team."
Biloxi, which won 12 straight games against the Panthers when they were division rivals in both 5A and 6A, didn't find its shooting stroke until the fourth quarter. The Indians used a 10-0 run to get within 10 at 57-47 with 3:26 to play, but Pascagoula scored the game's final six points.
TaVonn Tyson scored 15 points to lead the Indians, while Johnathan Quarles added 11. Windham said the loss might have actually been good for his team.
"This might be a blessing in disguise for us," Windham said. "Pascagoula hadn't beaten us in a lot of years, and they remember that stuff. They shot the cover off the ball. You've got to give them credit. They played well."
Pascagoula is at Theodore at 7:30 p.m. next Friday, while Biloxi travels to Division 7-6A rival St. Martin on Tuesday.

Hi. This is my first guide I've ever done so feel free to comment, I've been playing dotA for 6 years :D, but not that long online.. There are a lot of builds for Venomancer, but personally I find this one most effective. Enjoy!

Mana Cost: 90/105/120/135
Cooldown: 22 seconds
Comment: This will be your harassing skill, in order to get kills, slow will let you chase targets and greatly improves your dps .
Poison Sting (T)
Adds poison damage to this hero's normal attacks, slightly slowing movement speeds.
Lasts 7 seconds.
Poison Sting damages do not stack.
Level 1 - Deals 5 damage per second.
Level 2 - Deals 10 damage per second.
Level 3 - Deals 15 damage per second.

Level 2 - 200 hit points, 21 max damage.
Level 3 - 325 hit points, 32 max damage.
Level 4 - 450 hit points, 42 max damage.

Level 1 - 36 damage per second.
Level 2 - 58 damage per second.

9. Poison sting
10. Stats
11.Poison Nova
12-15. Stats
16. Poison Nova
17-21. Stats
22-25. Plague Ward
1.5 Item build
Starter items
Survivability is crucial at early game.
RoR is all that is needed for regen at early game unless you are getting ganked a lot, which than I would suggest a Ring of Health
Mid game items
Venomancer is quite vulnerable against magic, with BKB you can easily chase and avoid stuns, the damage and strength helps a lot as well.
Late game
You are basically unstoppable with these items, you need Aghanim's for late game ultimate, or else your ulti will be quite useless at this stage. S&Y is great for movement speed, damage, strength and maim.
1.6.1 Early game
Basically a shot every now and than will be very effective against heroes after lvl. 2, your poison sting does dps up to 7 seconds and if you are laning with someone ranged, you can use venomous gase when a hero is at 50% HP, depending on your opponents. If you have trouble laning, just wait for lvl 6 and than engage in battle.
1.6.2 Mid game
At this stage you can easily engage in team battle, your AOE abilities could easily take out multiple heroes, along with BKB you can effectively carry. Be sure that you have at least second ulti by this stage.
1.6.3Late game
Try to get your yasha first for the extra movement and attack speed and before completing your S&Y, buy your Aghanim's, after that you can complete you S&Y. Your strength + agility should be quite high by this stage and with your BKB, you can own. :D

Really appreciate your trying so hard to rep them!
If you go to each link they will print coupons in addition to the ones that are currently in the wiki.I checked before posting and also mentioned that they were different?
I noticed multiples of other brands before I posted. So I thought it would be okay to add these to the list too. Did I do something wrong?
I am just wondering why these were not added when others posted yesterday were.
Not complaining or anything, just want to know if I did something wrong or if there are only certain things you will or won't add to the wiki.
I got these from http://www.bayercare.c
