Audrey Après Amélie
Audrey Tautou Is No Longer An Ingénue
She's cold, cruel, vindictive and unsmiling, prone to lapses of silent contemplation and manic chain-smoking. Thérèse Desqueyroux, the unhappily married heroine of François Mauriac's 1927 literary classic, is a far cry from the usual roles played by Audrey Tautou, whose doe-eyed allure and sunny smile are part of the quirky, coquettish charm of the French actress's on-screen persona.
But after reading the script for Claude Miller's adaptation of "Thérèse Desqueyroux," Ms. Tautou says she was drawn to the challenge of portraying the frustrated and fragile title character. "I've never been offered a part like that before," she says. A 20th-century Madame Bovary, Thérèse is bitterly disappointed in marriage and motherhood, and dreams of a different life. Despite the character's flaws and failures, she emerges as a restless, intelligent young woman rebelling against a strict, provincial Catholic upbringing.
"Thérèse is a very modern character, who is really ahead of her time," says Ms. Tautou. "The bourgeois conventions are still very strong in her milieu. Her dilemma—not having the possibility to know who you are or to choose your life—is a timeless subject."
The role also gave the actress the chance to work with Miller, the late French screenwriter and filmmaker whom she deeply admired. "He never thought that this would be his last film," she says. The 70-year-old director, best known for "The Little Thief" (1988) and "Class Trip" (1998), died last April after a long illness. He had just completed postproduction work on "Thérèse Desqueyroux," which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival a month later.
In wide release in Belgium and France next week, Miller's cinematic version of the novel sticks closely to the original tale of an ill-fated union of two wealthy families who own neighboring pine forests in the countryside outside of Bordeaux.
When Thérèse Larroque marries Bernard Desqueyroux (Gilles Lellouche), the brother of her closest childhood friend, Anne ( Anaïs Demoustier), she believes it will bring her peace. "Thérèse's mind is teeming with questions, but she's convinced at that moment that marriage will help get her head on straight and put all her thoughts in order," says Ms. Tautou. "And since, in her world, you're forced to keep things to yourself, Thérèse has no way of knowing if other women ask themselves those same kinds of questions."
But her marriage proves to be a prison from which she cannot escape. So when Thérèse learns that Anne has fallen in love with the handsome son of a rich Jewish family who live nearby, she decides to destroy her sister-in-law's happiness. Later, she also attempts to poison her husband.
"What I found most difficult in playing Thérèse was being able to erase the sweetness of the young ingénue characters I've often played," says Ms. Tautou. "I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to express certain dark, violent feelings, like jealousy or her desire to compromise Anne's reputation. Those feelings aren't pretty, and I was ashamed to search for them inside myself."
"Thérèse Desqueyroux" was filmed once before, in 1962 by French director Georges Franju. But Ms. Tautou says that she chose not to see it, not wanting to be influenced by actress Emmanuelle Riva's portrayal of the character. Instead, she forged her own path into Thérèse's inner turmoil. One technique she used was to jot down bits of interior monologue, imagining what the character would have liked to tell her husband and family, in parallel with the script. "I needed to make sure her thoughts were really clear to me. There was never a second of blackout. I was always connected to her brain," Ms. Tautou says.
"I may not have much in common with Thérèse, but I do know what it's like to be in constant inner dialogue with yourself," she adds with a smile.
Growing up in Montluçon, in central France, Ms. Tautou had been determined she would become a primatologist. But when her parents—a dental surgeon and a teacher—offered her the chance to take a summer course at the Cours Florent theater school in Paris after her baccalaureate, Ms. Tautou took it. She decided to stay on for their full-time program, combining acting classes with a literature degree from the Sorbonne.
The actress's first big break was a part in Toni Marshall's 1999 comedy "Venus Beauty Institute," for which she was awarded a César for Best Newcomer the following year. Shortly after, French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet cast Ms. Tautou in his film "Amélie," the whimsical tale of a kooky and kindhearted Parisian waitress that took box offices around the world by storm in 2001. "Amélie has remained the most emblematic of my roles—that's just the way it is," says the 36-year-old actress. "She's an icon."
The role, which catapulted the young actress to international stardom, also revealed qualities that have kept her in the limelight. "Audrey gives off tremendous strength and charisma, but at the same time, at any given moment, she can appear fragile and vulnerable," says French author/director David Foenkinos, who worked with Ms. Tautou on the 2011 film adaptation of his offbeat, best-selling novel "La Délicatesse" ("Delicacy").
Since "Amélie," Ms. Tautou has starred in a succession of frothy romantic French comedies, including "Delicacy," and worked with the likes of Cédric Klapisch ("L'Auberge Espagnole," 2002; "Russian Dolls," 2005), Stephen Frears ("Dirty Pretty Things," 2002) and Ron Howard ("The Da Vinci Code," 2006). More recently, the actress tackled a realistic portrayal of the early years of French fashion designer Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in the 2009 biopic "Coco Before Chanel," by director Anne Fontaine. "Like Thérèse, you could ask yourself what made Chanel, a young girl from the provinces, so avant-garde and desire such freedom?" the actress muses. "It was just something in her nature."
"Audrey has a way of submerging deep inside the character that is truly surprising," says Ms. Fontaine. "In the morning, when I arrived at the makeup session, I didn't see Audrey Tautou, I saw Chanel. On set, everything—the intensity of her gaze, her manner of speaking, the way she carried herself, and even the way she touched the fabrics—was the same as Chanel. It was very subtle."
In her next project to hit screens, Ms. Tautou stars in Michel Gondry's jazzy retro-futurist fantasy "Mood Indigo," based on Boris Vian's 1947 novel "L'Ecume des Jour." The actress plays Chloé, a young woman who marries a wacky inventor ( Romain Duris), but falls ill due to a water lily growing in her lung. "I do some shopping in a big plastic cloud suspended on a crane," and "dance the Biglemoi," she says of the film, due to be released next spring. "It's a great book—very surreal."
As for her portrayal of the more somber French literary heroine, the actress says that the biggest question she faced in "Thérèse Desqueyroux" was understanding her character's absence of guilt. "She's got pride, or, as Claude kept telling me: 'No pity for idiots,' " Ms. Tautou explains. "Her actions show the extent of her suffering and how far she was willing to go. Her husband represents everything she detests. Their marriage is the final turn of the key to her prison."
But in the end, it also becomes her redemption. After punishing Thérèse to protect the family from scandal, her husband ultimately forgives her. "Bernard is head over heels in love with his wife until the very end, but he's powerless, crushed by the weight of convention," says co-star Gilles Lellouche.
"The film reflects what Claude Miller has always been interested in—transgression, ambiguity and psychological complexity," says Ms. Tautou. "He'd always say, 'Thérèse hopes to become what she already is—do any of us know who we really are?' "

ROOSEVELT PARK -- The Roosevelt Park City Council will have three vacancies up for grabs in the Nov. 4 election because of a term-limited mayor, a council member not seeking re-election and an incumbent whose term has expired.
Councilman Ed Breitenbach has decided not to run for re-election, and Mayor Bob Young has reached the term limit dictated by the city's charter.
The newest council member, Rod Buikema, of 1539 Chapel, will run as an incumbent. He was appointed to the council in June 2007 and must be elected in November to retain his position.
Breitenbach said several factors played into his decision not to run for another three-year term. He was appointed to fill a vacancy on the council in July 2004, and was elected to a three-year term in 2005. That term expires in November.
Breitenbach, a former Calvary Christian high school principal, said he is currently pursuing a doctorate degree at Western Michigan University while teaching part-time at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids.
Breitenbach said he and his family may move from their Roosevelt Park home at 1056 Durham to Grand Rapids where his wife, Karen, works as well.
Meanwhile, Young has served as mayor -- a position appointed annually by the council -- since December 2002. In all, Young has served the council for nine years, according to the city clerk.
Roosevelt Park City Council members are limited to serving three consecutive terms. Term-limited council members must sit out a year before running again.
Those interested in running for the council must turn in an application and a petition with at least 20 signatures -- and no more than 40 -- to city hall by 4 p.m. July 29.
Roosevelt Park voters will have their say in the Nov. 4 election. There is no primary election for the city seats because they are nonpartisan.

The Nebraska Humane Society said a bat that was found at an area high school tested positive for rabies.
Two students at Bellevue East High School found the bat clinging to a window inside the school. Officials said both students physically handled the bat before taking it to a teacher.
Humane society officials were called and sent the bat to a laboratory for testing.
Since the bat tested positive for rabies, the school and students were notified.
Officials said it's unlikely the students contracted rabies by handling the bat, but it was suggested they seek medical treatment as a precaution.

cool tornment
@ CTPerl There are unlikely to be tie-break games. If the top two or more players score the same points, the tie will be decided by the following criteria, in order of priority:a) The results of the games between the players involved in the tie.If they are still tied:b) The total number of wins in the tournament of every player involved in the tie.If they are still tied:c) Sonneborn - Berger System.
If there is no clear winner with the above 3 criteria, there will be a special competition between the players who still remain tied after using the 3rd criteria (Sonneborn - Berger): after a new drawing of colors, each tied player will play two (2) tie-break games with the other tied opponent(s). The games shall be played using the electronic clock starting with 25 minutes for each player with an increment of 10 seconds after each move.
What is the tie-break format???
Svidler and Kramnik repeated moves, or would have. I think they were actually 'forced' to do that (or whoever deviated would have to accept an inferior position). So yes.. I think they can do that. 30-move rule or not.
all 4 games of round1 are Draw.
@ Balachandar - no, he didn't. When a game is over the arbiter places the kings on certain central squares in order to record the result of the game on the electronic boards that are used. If this isn't done properly, the last move can often seem to be some bizzare error.
NO. Last move was 44. ... a3
no that was the refereee puttting both kings in the middle to indicate a draw
Did Ivanchuck actually play 45. Ke4?? as shown in Chessdom?
isnt there a 30 move rule?
Kramnik and Svidler draw their match in just 23 move! They shouldn't be allowed to draw so early!
Carlsen wins with 9/14
Aronian-Carlsen 1/2-1/2
Here you can see the matches live
Wow, Carlsen gets Aronian and Kramnik in the first two rounds!
Who won't root for carlsen?
It works here, although it`s in Russian!
does anyone knows what time is the live commentary starting?
thanks kingcrash!
where can I watch the games? the fide website is not working, anybody knows why?

SPRINGFIELD - Margaret Przewozniak's undoing may have been an uncanny memory for faces.
During closing arguments in the murder trial of Anthony L. Moore in Hampden Superior Court Wednesday, a prosecutor suggested Moore may have executed Przewozniak, 22, because she pulled down a mask he allegedly wore while robbing her on March 22, 2010.
Her roommate, Sarah LaPalm, testified during the nine-day trial that a man fitting Moore's tall build and complexion burst into their Benton Street apartment and fired a round into the kitchen floor. LaPalm told jurors Przewozniak tugged at the mask the man was wearing down and exclaimed: "We went to school together!"
Records showed Moore and Przewozniak had attended Kiley Middle School at the same time at least a decade earlier. LaPalm said the last time she saw Przewozniak, her assailant was dragging her into the basement and Przewozniak directed LaPalm to gather LaPalm's 3-year-old and "just go."
LaPalm fled with her child, called 911, and later returned to the apartment to find Przewozniak gravely wounded by gunshots in the basement.
Moore is accused of first-degree murder, home invasion and other crimes in connection with the slaying. Assistant District Attorney James C. Orenstein said in his closing statement that Moore and another, unidentified man, descended on the house at night to rob Przewozniak - fleeing with a safe filled with cash. A second man was never charged.
According to the prosecution, Moore shot Przewozniak in the leg and then placed the muzzle of the gun behind her ear and pulled the trigger. Moore's defense lawyer, Alexander Z. Nappan, argued to jurors that a combination of jaded police detectives, a meddling canine officer, and well-meaning but mistaken neighbors turned the murder investigation against his client.
One neighbor testified she saw what she considered a suspicious van in her neighborhood from which two men emerged and ran into a back yard. She instructed her daughter to take down the license plate on a piece of paper, which was presented into evidence.
On it was a scrawled number with a notation in Spanish that translated to "the plate number of maybe a robber." Police used the number to identify a silver van Moore was later found driving. Nappan, however, suggested the girl got it wrong, and that she and other witnesses retrofitted their testimony to satisfy police.
"People make mistakes; police officers make mistakes; civilians make mistakes," Nappan told the jury of 10 women and six men. Four will be chosen as alternates while 12 deliberate over the evidence.
Moore was arrested two hours after the killing, Orenstein said. Police found $1,600 in cash on him and recovered a blood stain from the inside of the car that matched Przewozniak's genetic profile, according to the prosecution.
"How?" Moore blurted out angrily when Orenstein summarized the blood evidence for the panel, before his lawyer shushed him.
Unruffled, Orenstein completed his closing statements to the jury, who began deliberations Wednesday afternoon after instructions by Superior Court Judge John S. Ferrara.
Moore, 26, of Springfield, faces life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder.

Orlando's Rosen Hotels & Resorts Once Again Named American Heart Association Gold Fit-Friendly Worksite
For more information, contact:
Mary Deatrick, DPR
(407) 718-4640, email@example.com
ORLANDO (March 11, 2015) – Rosen Hotels & Resorts is proud to announce that it has been named a Gold Fit-Friendly Worksite by the American Heart Association. This marks the 5th year that the Orlando-based independent hotel group has received this distinction.
To receive the gold level award, Rosen Hotels & Resorts fulfilled "key criteria" and demonstrated a "strong commitment to providing a healthy workplace for employees." As an American Heart Association Fit-Friendly Worksite, Rosen Hotels & Resorts will receive recognition on the association's website and local recognition at events and in communications materials. The hotel group also will be able to use the Fit-Friendly Worksite Gold Seal on its communications. Its associates may also take advantage of free tools such as the American Heart Association's online Activity Tracker.
The honor is just one of many bestowed upon Rosen Hotels & Resorts for its commitment to better health for its 4,600 associates and dependents. For more than 20 years, Rosen Hotels & Resorts has offered an innovative, in-house healthcare program for associates and dependents. In recent years, it added to that plan all students from the University of Central Florida's Rosen College of Hospitality Management. In November 2014, the hotel group partnered with Wal-Mart to provide free generic prescriptions for those covered on its in-house plan. And, in 2012, the hotel group opened a brand new associate medical facility, The Rosen Medical Center, A Place for Healing and Wellness, located on International Drive.

ORLANDO (Jan. 23, 2015) – Orlando hotelier and philanthropist Harris Rosen, President & COO of Rosen Hotels & Resorts, received the Coretta Scott King A.N.G.E.L. Award at the 32nd Annual Salute to Greatness Awards Dinner presented by The King Center in Atlanta. The King Center, formally known as The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, was established in 1968 by Mrs. Coretta Scott King. The awards ceremony took place on Jan. 17, 2015 (in observance of the late Dr. King's 86th birthday) at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Atlanta.
The awards event recognized just four honorees. The Salute to Greatness Award, one of the King Center's highest honors, was awarded to former President Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States, and to Bernard J. Tyson, chairman and CEO of Kaiser Permanente. The Coretta Scott King A.N.G.E.L. (Advancing Nonviolence through Generations of Exceptional Leadership) Award was given to Harris Rosen and to Aidan Thomas Hornaday, founder of the Aidan Cares Foundation. The award is given in honor of and in keeping with the spirit of the late Coretta Scott King and recognizes a youth or young adult and a youth organization/initiative which exemplifies exceptional leadership in the areas of peace, social justice and nonviolent social change. The honor was established and awarded for the first time in 2013.
Rosen was being recognized for his more than 20 year commitment to the Tangelo Park Program, a three-fold educational community service initiative within the once drug- and crime-ridden Tangelo Park neighborhood of Orlando. In 1992, as Rosen was planning his seventh property, Rosen Shingle Creek, he was struck with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for his many blessings and decided it was time to give back to his community. By 1993, he had created the Tangelo Park Program, a personally funded concept. His innovative program provides free preschool for every two-, three-, and four-year-old child living in the neighborhood and a full community college or four-year college, or a vocational or technical school scholarship for every graduating high school senior. In addition, the program provides a Neighborhood Center for Families where parents can take parenting courses and obtain counseling and other resources to help them become positive role models for their children.
When Rosen created the Tangelo Park Program, the community's high school dropout rate was 43 percent higher than the national average. Not long after the program began, high school graduation rates soared with an almost zero dropout rate. To date, more than 280 young people have now attended college or vocational school. "I am so honored that the Tangelo Park Program has been recognized by The King Center and I am truly humbled to receive an award given in the spirit of Mrs. Coretta Scott King," said Rosen. "I will be happy to accept the honor on behalf of the Tangelo Park community and especially all of the youngsters who have worked so hard over the past 20 years to better themselves through the gift of education."
Established in 1968 by Mrs. Coretta Scott King, The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change ("The King Center") has been a global destination, resource center and community institution for over a quarter century. Nearly a million people each year make pilgrimage to the National Historic Site to learn, be inspired and pay their respects to Dr. King's legacy. Both a traditional memorial and programmatic nonprofit, the King Center was envisioned by its founder to be "no dead monument, but a living memorial filled with all the vitality that was his, a center of human endeavor, committed to the causes for which he lived and died." That vision was carried out through educational and community programs until Mrs. King's retirement in the mid-1990s, and today it is being revitalized.
Celebrating more than 40 years in business, Rosen Hotels & Resorts comprises nearly 6,500 guest rooms at seven Orlando hotels: three convention properties – Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre and Rosen Shingle Creek, as well as four value-priced leisure properties – Rosen Inn International; Rosen Inn, closest to Universal; Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando; and Clarion Inn Lake Buena Vista.

Orlando's Rosen Shingle Creek Awarded Prestigious Three Palm Status in Florida DEP's Green Lodging Program
Award-Winning Convention Property Improves Conservation Efforts to Graduate from Two to Three Palm Designation

ORLANDO (Nov. 14, 2014) – Orlando's Rosen Shingle Creek is proud to announce that it has earned Three Palm Status in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Green Lodging Program. The award-winning hotel has been designated a Two Palm property since 2008.
The voluntary initiative designates and recognizes lodging facilities that make a commitment to conserve and protect Florida's natural resources, offering designations at four levels. The program's environmental guidelines allow the hospitality industry to evaluate its operations, set goals and take specific actions to continuously improve environmental performance. To become designated, facilities must conduct a thorough property assessment and implement a specified number of environmental practices in five areas of sustainable operations: Communication and Education (Customers, Employees, Public); Waste Reduction, Reuse and Recycling; Water Conservation; Energy Efficiency; and Indoor Air Quality.
"We at Rosen Shingle Creek are proud to be named a Three Palm property and to demonstrate that environmental conservation and protection is not just a passing trend but a real priority for all of us at Rosen Hotels & Resorts," said Leslie Menichini, VP of Sales and Marketing, Rosen Hotels & Resorts Convention Properties. "We started this process before DEP's program began, and we plan to continue our efforts, exceeding the state's standards, because it's a cause to which we are deeply committed."
To earn Three Palm status, the 1,501-room convention and leisure property implemented several new programs and practices, on top of its existing energy-saving policies. Among them, its staff gives tours to college students and groups, speaks at outside conferences to promote green business practices, and promotes green meetings to incoming convention groups. The hotel provides a "green suggestions" box at the associate cafeteria and has dedicated an environmental section in its facility newsletter, as well as enrolling in Green Destination Orlando, a hospitality advocacy committee. Additionally, Rosen Shingle Creek instituted a reduced packaging policy, uses refillable containers instead of single-use packets/containers, and prints all advertising, educational and promotional pieces on recycled paper.
In terms of facilities, the hotel installed photo sensors on toilets, urinals and faucets; installed tap flow controllers with auto shut-off; and uses final rinse water as pre-rinse water for subsequent cycles in its Milnor Tunnel energy-efficient washing machines. Rosen Shingle Creek uses biodiesel from used cooking oil, an onsite renewable energy power source, and conducts periodic thermal imaging to look for leakages. A daily inspection of laundry exhaust vents, grounds equipment and vehicles keeps the machines running efficiently. The hotel uses LED exit lighting and programmable thermostats for HVAC, and also provides preferred parking locations for guests and staff driving fuel efficient vehicles. Rosen Hotels & Resorts is committed to conservation efforts in all its properties. The associate medical center, Rosen Medical Center, A Place for Healing and Wellness, was built in 2012 according to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified standards as outlined by the U.S. Green Building Council. In 2007, Rosen Shingle Creek, along with its sister properties, Rosen Plaza and Rosen Center, were among the first 50 properties – the top one percent in Florida – to receive One Palm designation. All three properties achieved Two Palm status the following year. The 800-room Rosen Plaza and 1,334-room Rosen Centre have retained their Two Palm lodging status.

"We are thrilled to introduce this wonderful new holiday tradition to Rosen Shingle Creek," said Leslie Menichini, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Rosen Hotels & Resorts. "The Gingerbread House Competition not only will provide a charming holiday backdrop for our guests, but also, the proceeds will go to a very worthwhile cause, the Florida Hospital Foundation to benefit the Florida Hospital Transplant House to aid organ transplant recipients and their families."
The gingerbread houses will be on display Dec. 1-22 at "Gingersnap Station" in the hotel's main lobby. Judging will take place on Dec. 18 from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. During the judging, competitors and guests may enjoy a Gingerbread Reception featuring complimentary light fare and a cash bar. Guests may enter to win a variety of giveaways, including hotel stays, gift certificates and other prizes.
Entries will be judged on originality, overall appearance, choice and use of materials, and difficulty of design. All gingerbread houses must be original; no kits may be used. The main components of the house, including the walls and roof, must be constructed of gingerbread and all components of the house must be edible
The deadline to register for the gingerbread competition is Oct. 15 by 5 p.m. Registration forms and a complete list of rules and acceptable gingerbread house dimensions may be found at www.rosenshinglecreek.com/holidays.

|Garden Path JN029245,
a photo by JaniceNolan_braud on Flickr.
During a radio interview on behalf of SCORE the other day, I was asked why startup businesses fail. Talk about a huge question with many potential answers! In some instances it's a retail enterprise with a nonperforming location, sometimes it's a product that only a mother could love.
But if there were one major deal-breaker for new businesses, it would be financial. In particular, many new businesses start with too little capital, and this problem is made worse by faulty projections - or no detailed projections at all.
Let's think through an example: Small Business A wants to open a retail location. They have some investments to make before they even open their doors:
- Business entity setup - fictitious name, incorporation, etc.
- Security deposit and rent for location
- Fixtures, equipment
- Inventory
- Utilities
- Insurance - physical site and liability
Depending upon the product, marketing (including promotion, pricing, location, etc.), owner reputation, economic conditions - and even the usual sales process - the business might take 3, 6, 9 months or even more to reach its sales production pace. That means that the business needs not only the initial $150,000 of capital, but that 3,6, or 9 months of operating capital available as well.
Why projections go wrong
Here's how projections take business owners down the garden path: prospective and new entrepreneurs feel tons of enthusiasm, passion, etc. when they are starting a new venture like this one. The owner is sometimes (often?) reluctant to hear or think about information that might be a buzz kill right in the middle of this very significant creative act. So the new owner, swept up in positive emotions, develops projections incorporating assumptions that the community will be banging down the doors to buy on Day One, that no unexpected expenses will kick in, and that the business will experience month over month meteoric growth.
Hopeium is not helpful when you are forecasting your business results. Conservatism, even pessimism, is your friend. Do the numbers work? If they do, great. If the winds have to be blowing in one exact direction and the stars have to be aligned in order for you to do the volume you're hoping to do - you need to look at the numbers again and figure out how to make them more realistic before you risk losing your business, and maybe some of your personal assets as well.
Some projections are missing key information. The prospective owner doesn't know what he or she doesn't know, and so some numbers with significant impact aren't part of the equation. Here's where an expert like an accountant or a SCORE volunteer can be helpful. They can not only help to fill in the blanks - they can help a new owner know where the blanks need to be placed in the forecast.
The owner needs to grow too
One of the ingredients in business success is the speed of the owner's learning curve. Your cash reserves need to be big enough to cover your sales cycle, but also enough to outlast your learning process. What if you aren't going into business already effective at sales? What if you guess wrong about the types and quantities of inventory you need to have on hand? What if you underestimate the amount of waste, spoilage or shrinkage (theft) that you experience while you're learning how to run the business? Will any of these factors be enough to shut your doors? Even a small boo-boo might be enough to send the business toes-up if there is not sufficient funding.
The upside of tight cash
It's not always a bad thing to be bootstrapping your business. Sure, you might be living a bit close to the edge. But near term a "have to" working environment may help you to be willing to push yourself beyond your comfort zone to engage in the tasks that you might otherwise ignore or throw money at. There's something about "have to make payroll" that lights a fire under the derriere.
When your budget is close to the bone you may be more likely to find creative solutions to your problems rather than simply throw money at them. And ultimately the less cash you throw at things the more of your revenue will wind up staying in your pocket instead of blowing right back out again.

MOBILE, Alabama-- The proposed soccer complex site located near the I-65/I-10 may be one step closer to fruition following next Tuesday's formal county commission meeting, but not without contention.
The conflict over the purchase is onging, stemming from two different proposals for the locations and two different ideas of what will best service Mobile County.
Commission President Connie Hudson has long lobbied for the interstate location, saying that the proximity to hotels and shopping makes a tournament location more attractive to visitors.
Commissioner Jerry Carl proposed a location closer to Irvington, Alabama. That location is roughly ten minutes from hotels on a normal day's drive.
Carl argued that his project would have cost $5 million and that the interstate location will cost four to five times that.
In addition to building costs, the local school district was willing to lease the land for Carl's project for $1 a year for 99 years, he said.
The county would have to buy the interstate land at a price of $2.96 million, the appraised property value.
Ansley Properties LLC and the Berg & Co. Inc. would donate 80 acres of the property to the county. The land itself has been dormant for several years. According to Carl, a 5 percent commission would make the purchase $3.1 million.
The county is moving forward with the interstate site, putting a measure on Tuesday's agenda to vote on a purchase option for the land. The county would have to put down $10,000, but could get it back if they decided they didn't want the property. They would then only lose the cost of engineering surveys and work to learn what it would take to build the site.
Without those engineering surveys, Hudson said that $20 million is "inaccurate." "I don't know where he gets his numbers from," Hudson told Alabama Media Group. "This is a no-lose situation on the property," she said referring to the purchase option.
"This is typical politics," Carl said during Thursday's conference meeting. "We're being pushed into a cattleshoot here and there will be a point where we can't turn around."
Hudson countered that the purchase option is simply the next step in figuring out if the site is truly viable.
"It would be irresponsible to spend money on planning, etc., until we secure the property option," she said.
Carl said that he feels like if the commission had gone with his site, the project would be much further along. "We'd be playing ball," he said.
As for the dissent at the commission, Carl said he feels like the other members have their mind made up on the interstate site. "This one costs too much," he said.
Commissioner Ludgood said that she felt that the purchase option was the logical next step in the process. "We have responded to the community," she said. "We are establishing a legal relationship with the property."
She also said that she was not sure where Carl's $20 million estimate came from.
The proposed location, should it come to fruition, would have 10 soccer fields and a natural habitat with walking trails certified for cross country. Also in phase one are plans for a picnic and playground area, concession stands and restroom, as well as a possible splash pad.
The goal, said Hudson, is to make the location a "destination."
Phase two of the project would include, as funding is secured, an aquatic center for competitive swimming as well as leisure-time aquatic activities.
A notice to proceed will be issued to Neel-Schaffer for an engineering study and budget proposal. A Corps of Engineers permit application also will be submitted for approval.

State Rep. Bill DeWeese occasionally issued orders telling his employees not to do political campaign work on state time, former aide Kevin Sidella testified Wednesday.
Yet that was window-dressing, Sidella told a Dauphin County jury that is weighing corruption charges against the Greene County Democrat and former House speaker.
"Bill didn't really care," said Sidella, who is a Swatara Twp. commissioner. "He just said that to cover himself."
Sidella said he and other DeWeese staffers regularly worked on political campaigns on the taxpayers' dime when they were supposed to be doing the public's business.
Campaign work was a de facto requirement of staying on DeWeese's payroll, he said.
"Keeping the boss happy was the message that was sent down often," Sidella said. "Was I aware that if you worked on campaigns you moved up on the staff? By 2004, it was apparent. By 2006, it was the rule."
Sidella testified under a grant of immunity from the state attorney general's office, which charged DeWeese, 61, with theft, conspiracy and conflict of interest for allegedly using his staff and state resources for election campaigns and pet projects.
Prosecutors claim the offenses occurred from 2001 to 2006, when DeWeese was House minority leader.
William Costopoulos, DeWeese's lawyer, spent much of Wednesday morning hammering at Sidella's credibility and trying to convince the jurors that Sidella was trying to dodge criminal charges at DeWeese's expense.
Costopoulos is arguing that DeWeese didn't know his workers were campaigning on state time and that they violated his directive to do political work only on their own time.
Under Costopoulos' questioning, Sidella said he received $20,000 in illegal bonuses from the House Democratic Caucus for doing campaign work in 2006, one of many such raises awarded in the so-called Bonusgate scandal.
"It was for being a good soldier, for working on campaigns," Sidella said of his bonuses.
Costopoulos pressed Sidella on his role in Bonusgate. Prosecutions in that scandal led to the conviction and imprisonment of several conspirators, including former House Minority Whip Mike Veon, who is serving a 6-to-14-year state prison term.
Sidella said he knew a "disaster was brewing" when The Patriot-News broke the story of Bonusgate in early 2007.
He said he decided to cooperate with prosecutors investigating the scam when he realized no one would protect his interests.
"It was every man for himself?" Costopoulos asked.
"That's what it seemed like," Sidella replied.
He said DeWeese, a 35-year legislator whose 50th House District seat is up for election, often would require him to use his lunch hour or compensatory time to discuss the campaign fundraising that was a major part of his job.
But that didn't cover the prep work he needed to do for those meetings, he said.
Sidella said the campaigning for DeWeese was especially intense in 2006, when DeWeese faced a strong opponent a year after voting for a controversial legislative pay raise.
"In 2006, I was basically a campaign manager for Bill," he said.
When Costopoulos asked if he filed leave slips to do election work, Sidella said, "Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. There was so much campaign activity that it was hard to keep track of everything."
DeWeese wouldn't have known if his employees were taking leave time for election duties, Sidella said.
He said keeping track of staff time was the job of DeWeese's chief of staff, Michael Manzo, who testified against DeWeese on Monday and Tuesday.
"Mike Manzo would have been the guy who signed off on that," he said. "There was a carbon copy, but I doubt [DeWeese] looked at it. He wasn't a paperwork kind of guy."
After Sidella, prosecutors called staffers from DeWeese's district offices, who testified that they did election tasks during the work day.
Brenda Devecka, who still works for DeWeese, said he often told staff to use leave time for political work.
"You were not to do that work at the expense of the taxpayers? And he made that clear?" Costopoulos asked.
"Yes, he did," Devecka said.
"Everything I did was voluntary. I wanted to do it," she said of her election work.
Other current and former staffers painted a different picture.
Angel Kirby-Willard, an ex-employee of DeWeese's Waynesburg office, said election work "was something that was explained as a requirement for the job.
"I was told that if Bill didn't have a job, we didn't have jobs," she said.
"The message was, 'Pick up your campaign work or go find another job?'" Deputy Attorney General Michael Sprow asked.
"Yes, it was," Kirby-Willard said.

I'm doing some shopping to upgrade from my old DB-60 and would love all the feedback you've got!
-What met do you use and why?
-If it's got all those bells and whistles (training programs and such), do you use them/have you found them beneficial?
-Pros and Cons: How's the battery life? Durability? Can it program and store tempos? Is it good for practice AND gigs?
Thanks for your input!
I've been considering the Tama Rhythm Watch, but the Simmons that just came out has got my attention now too.
Would love anything you can offer at all
Tempo app on my ipod
loud is my forte
Metronomes, for me, were-until the last 2 years-not a tool that I used often. My teacher had me use metronomes in the 1st few years of my drumming. After about 6 years, we both noticed that my natural sense of time was accurate enough to begin playing w/out the use of a metronome. From then on, even when playing out, I didn't use any metronome or time-keeping devise @ all. Thankfully, I was able to stay in time & even now, looking back @ old DVDs & videos of shows past, I hear & see myself staying in time mvery well. @ years ago, I bought a Roland V-Drums TD-4SX to fufill my wish of having an electronic kit along w/ my acoustic kit. That particular kit was perfect for me, as I didn't wish to spend a huge amt. of $ on a e-kit, but still wanted a make & model that would be worthwhile & give me a good e-kit experience. This kit comes w/ a Practice Coach. Included is a metronome that can be set @ any bpm, & can even change bpm's after every 4 measures to keep your timing precise! Ever since I bought this kit, I've been practicing w/ the metronome & Practice Coach Mode's Warm Ups, Time Checks, & Tempo Checks! So I do suggest that, no matter how long you've been playing, or how good your natural timing is, practice w/ a metronome-even if it's only once in a while (like myself).
Actually ran the click through someone else's DB-90 last night. Took me a little bit to remember how to set up the tempo for the set list, but was OK after that- until I found out the singer changed the set list!
The band was thrown together & only had an hour to run though stuff before we played. We had spent 1/2 the warm up time without the click, and the band was all over the place. I was glad to be running it after that.
DB-90 is a good machine with some nice features. I can't justify the cost, when apps for IPods, IPhones & IPads are so cheap.

AUBURN HILLS -- The Detroit Pistons announced the hirings of three assistant coaches and one scout today but several other former staffers, including Rasheed Wallace, will not be retained, the team announced.
Brendan Malone, Bob Beyer and Charles Klask were formally announced as assistant coaches, as previously reported, with Adam Glessner as a team scout.
But Wallace, a standout on the Pistons' 2004 championship team who was hired last year by then-coach Maurice Cheeks as a player development coach, will not be retained on new president of basketball operations and head coach Stan Van Gundy's staff.
Also not retained were assistant coach Henry Bibby, player development coach Bernard Smith, advance scout Kamran Sufi and video coordinator Raman Sposato.
The announcements of the three assistants was expected. Malone and Beyer were former assistants under Van Gundy in Orlando. Klask, who worked last year as a Brooklyn Nets scout, is a Livonia native who previously worked for the Pistons on Lawrence Frank's staff.
Malone also was an assistant for seven years on Chuck Daly's staff before becoming head coach of the expansion Toronto Raptors, and has nearly three decades of NBA experience.
"I'm pleased to welcome Brendan Malone, Bob Beyer, Charles Klask and Adam Glessner to the Detroit Pistons organization," Van Gundy said in a team statement. "These gentlemen bring NBA experience and a wealth of basketball knowledge to our staff and they also understand the system and style of basketball we want to implement going forward."
There was no announcement on the future of John Loyer, who is under contract next year and served as interim coach after Cheeks was fired in midseason, and could remain with the team as an assistant coach or in another role.
In additions to his stints as head coach in Toronto and assistant coach in Detroit and Orlando, Malone, 72, also has worked as an assistant with the New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers, and coached in college at Fordham, Yale, Syracuse and Rhode Island.
Beyer also had extensive college experience before working on NBA staffs the last 11 years in Toronto, Orlando, Golden State and Charlotte.
Klask makes his third stop with the Pistons, where he got his start as a video coordinating intern before spending 10 years as Orlando's video coordinator. He was an assistant with Frank in Detroit for two years before going to Brooklyn.
Glassner also worked with Van Gundy as video coordinator and analyst for five of his six seasons in Orlando. He previously was assistant video coordinator for the University of Florida's 2006 and 2007 NCAA title teams.

A federal drug plea has been postponed for a Philadelphia abortion provider already serving a life sentence for the deaths of three babies.
Defense lawyer Jack McMahon said he needs more time to consult with Dr. Kermit Gosnell about the plea. Gosnell is due back in court on June 26.
Gosnell, 72, ran a "pill mill" by day and a rogue "abortion mill" by night, prosecutors said.
He is serving life without parole after he was convicted this year of killing three babies born alive at his abortion practice.
Federal authorities said he sold prescriptions for OxyContin and other painkillers to people who lined up at his Philadelphia clinic.
McMahon has said Gosnell plans to plead guilty to the drug charges, given the outcome of the murder case.

The DowKey is not a stripline design, it is a coaxial line section; big difference. Commercial radio manufacturers have been using small open frame power relays in RF use for over 60 years, nothing new there. Vacuum relays designed for switching HV made an easy transition to RF. > > The VNA just tells you "good", "bad", or "about the same"... but > doesn't tell you "make the box 1/4" taller so the parasitic C is > less".. that comes from either mindnumbing analysis (probably a waste > of time) or good old empiricism (try a bunch of different ideas, and > see what works). Ive never had parasitic C problems at HF in a straight 50-75 Ohm layout. Amplifiers and even antenna tuners are another story. A lot of my work resume included millimeter wave circuitry up to and beyond 60 gHz; now THAT stuff is tricky! But you can do a lot with RF absorbent material at microwaves and above After youve been around the circle a few times the old gut feeling is often the key to success if I may borrow an anology from my younger circle track racing days. > > And, a lot of what goes into amateur products (or pro products for > that matter) is non-RF related.. manufacturing cost, durability, > shipping, etc. all factor into component choices.

They had more than adequate return loss and isolation at 10M and below. Plus they were cheap, I think $2 each! And since they would be mounted in gutted CATV hardline boxes I liked the dust cover to minimize condensation here in NH. Since elevation steering was part of the array the VNA was a key in determining the built in phase delay through the various selections. With that determined it was then easy to cut the phasing cables to exactly what was needed. Since I was using all 75 Ohm hard and soft line it was extremely advantageous that the company I was working for had the 75 Ohm option kit for the HP VNA. In the air performance was just as expected, no luck involved I hope! I could barely see the difference in grid current at any stack setting. This kept the LK780 happy (a very low production 2 x 3CX800A7 amp from Amp Supply) and the LK500 was always idiot proof. (KQ2M was one of the originators of the SO2R concept). Remember that I didnt operate those contests and the first design goal was to NOT be woken up at 3AM to fix a sleepy operator induced problem! When Bob got married and bought his own place in SW CT I dismantled most of the hardware. These days my interests are primarily 80/160 and then 6M and above; way above.

Q: A lot of times I see a white film on houseplants at the garden center. Have they been sprayed for bugs? What is it? And is it something that should be cleaned off with leaf shine?
A: It's possible there's some spray residue, but most likely the film is just a light layer of calcium left behind by hard water that's evaporated on the leaves. It's not exactly harmful, but buildups of anything on leaf surfaces -- including dust -- can reduce the amount of light the plant can use.
Wiping off houseplant leaves isn't a bad idea, but all you need is a soft, dampened cloth.
Leaf-shine products and some of the home-remedy cleaners that people use (I've heard mayonnaise mentioned) contain oil that can clog the plant openings and slow transpiration. Items from the kitchen might also be more attractive to bugs, so hold the mayo.

Coming back for it's 11th year, "Django in June" returns to Northampton's Academy of Music Theatre with "Gypsy Jazz" concerts.
On Friday, June 20, international performers Latcho Drum alongside Samson Smith with Tim Kliphuis will begin at 7:30 p.m. The following night, June 21, the stage will be taken over by Les Doigts De L'Homme.
Concert tickets are now available online at the Academy of Music Theatre. Tickets will start at $15 for children 12 and under, $20 for seniors, and $25 for adults. If purchasing tickets at the door, it will be charging $30 for adults.
Organizer Andrew Lawrence said he was happy to be returning to the Academy of Music Theatre. "Not every town has that venue and the people that come are struck by the beauty of the Pioneer Valley and Northampton." He added, "It's the place to be if you are interested in music.,"
Lawrence was first intrigued by the different style of music called, "Gypsy Jazz" after visiting France. After seeing the performances, he enjoyed what he had heard and knew "what they're doing is really different."
Now after starting "Django in June," as a one-day workshop followed by an evening concert, it has transitioned into a six-day festival. The week begins with a week- long "Gypsy Jazz camp" and concludes with weekend concerts from musicians all over the world.
"If you're into it, it's a nitch," Lawrence said.
"Gypsy Jazz" isn't real common to musicians, however, it wouldn't appear this way if you visit Northampton during the festival. "You're surrounded by it," said Lawrence.
The "Django in June" camp is likely to continue to grow since it is the "only music camp devoted to Gypsy Jazz."
He added, "Northampton is the "best place to learn."
Latcho Drum, meaning "safe journey" in Romani, orginally began in 1993 and has played over 1,000 concerts all over the world. Christophe Lartilleux, leader of Latcho Drum, will be joined by his daughter, Deborah, on bass, Philippe "Doudou" Cuillerieron on rhythm guitar and vocals, and Aurelien Trigo on the violin.
Samson Schmitt and Tim Kliphuis will also be playing Friday evening. Schmitt, 34, is coming to "Django in June" for the first time, however, he has played the major festivals of Europe. Alongside Schmitt, Tim Kliphuis has played and taught at "Django in June" before and returns to the event every few years.
Les Doigts De L'Homme , who last played at the festival in 2011, will perform on Saturday. Les Doigts De L'Homme has performed hundreds of shows including in the United States, Canada, Malaysia, Germany, and Russia.

St. John the Baptist Parish will soon seek bids to repair several parish water towers that are in poor condition.
The water tower repairs will be the first of the $29.5 million bond issue projects to be advertised for bids. Voters approved the bond issue and accompanying list of projects in April.
About $3.4 million of the bond issue has been allocated for water tower work.
St. John Parish spokesman Buddy Boe said the company that wins the bid will paint and sandblast five water towers in LaPlace, Garyville, Edgard, Lucy and Wallace that are part of the first phase of the water tower improvement project. He said the exterior paint jobs will last 15 years.
Eventually, the parish plans to fix 15 of the parish's 17 water towers and tanks, which hold treated drinking water. The five towers that are part of first phase were identified in a 2008 study as being in poor condition.
In the report, the Wallace water tower was identified as having "serious structural problems" at the tower's struts. The problems should be corrected before the next hurricane season, the report said.
Boe said repairs on the first string of towers should be completed by the end of 2010. Once the company is selected, the project will take about 280 days to complete, Boe said.

- Veteran dairyman finds niche for quality cows
- Raises cows for dairy partnership
- Genetic markers help select top milk producers
- Boyhood love of dairying turned into career
- Dog attacks kill, mangle calves
- Although veteran dairyman and university professor Bill McGee sold off his milking operation several years ago, he and family members continue to raise high quality Holstein cows for a north Mississippi dairy operation. At any given time, the McGee farm near Starkville, Miss., will have about 400 animals, ranging from young calves to two-year-old heifers.
More About:
Boyhood love of dairying turned into career
Bill's love of dairying and dairy cows traces back to his growing-up days in Newton County, Miss.
"My father farmed a little bit of everything — cotton, corn, sweet potatoes, chickens, beef cows, hogs, you name it — and we had about 20 cows that we milked by hand.
"I just liked working with cows, so it seemed natural that I'd pursue a dairy science degree. After I finished at MSU,
I worked a while for dairy farmer in the Starkville area, then took a position at the Black Belt Experiment Station at Brooksville, Miss., where they had a small dairy, Angus cattle, sheep, and cotton, corn, soybean, and fertility trials.
"While I was there, Dr. Joe Bearden, who was head of the dairy program at MSU, asked me to come back to the university and be their herdsman, which would also allow me to go to graduate school."
He earned his master's degree and for about 10 years taught dairy herd management and dairy judging and coordinated management of herds at experiment stations around the state, then was made a full professor.
During that period, he learned about a dairyman at Starkville who wanted to sell his Guernsey herd.
"I wanted to buy the herd," Bill says, "but I needed a partner. A friend, Ed Custer, agreed to go in with me, and we managed to get a loan, bought the herd, and rented 400-plus acres on what was then the outskirts of Starkville.
"We sold 'Golden Guernsey Milk' to Walker Farms in the Delta and paid off our loan in four years. In 1974, Ed wanted to retire, so I bought him out and continued at that location until 1979.
"I had built up some equity in cows and equipment, and when a 392-acre property here in the Oktoc community became available, I managed to borrow enough to buy it. It was pretty run down, and I built barns and began getting things into shape. We built a house here on the farm and moved in 1979."
During that period, Jimmy Webb, a MSU graduate who played pro football for the San Francisco 49ers, took an intense interest in the effort that was under way to obtain legislative approval to establish a veterinary school at the university.
"Jimmy agreed to promote the measure and was very effective in working with the governor and legislators," Bill recalls. "When the veterinary school was launched, he enrolled and attended classes during his team's off seasons, with the idea of coming back here as a veterinarian after his football career ended.
"He bought 310 acres adjacent to my property. But, even though he succeeded in earning his veterinary degree at MSU, he stayed on in California and established a very successful business doing embryo transplants. I bought his land, which gave me roughly 700 acres."
Despite encroaching residential development in recent years, Bill says he plans to continue working with dairy animals.
"It's something I enjoy, it keeps me busy, and I have the pleasure of working with family members. I couldn't ask for a better arrangement."

'Big Brother' midseason report
August 6, 2013 - Bennet Goldstein
We are in the middle of a pretty good season of the CBS show "Big Brother" so I wanted to do an update on where some of the participants stand. HELEN- She was an afterthought at the start of the season, then got power and became super-annoying. She still thinks she's got power in the house. And, yes, she is still annoying. AMANDA - She has the real power in the house but is becoming too heavy-handed in wielding it. We noticed that as her biggest ally, and boy toy, McCrae, let her know she is being too aggressive in the game recently. GINAMARIE - Still obsessing over a guy who got kicked out weeks ago, but hey, she is still in the house so that is an accomplishment. JUDD - His act as the dimwitted country boy is being figured out. He has a lot more smarts than he has led on and will need to make some sort of move soon to show he can play the game. JESSIE - She was behind the scenes throughout much of the game but recently came to the forefront. For her effort, she got nominated for eviction. It's too early for me to predict a favorite to win as I can't say anybody is playing a phenomenal game right now. Look for some big moves in the next few weeks as they are bound to happen this part of the season.

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S PROPOSED FEDERAL SPENDING WILL TOP $4 TRILLION this year, about 29 percent of GDP-exceeded only by spending during World War II. Then there are the Administration's plans to add $1.9 trillion in new taxes. This heady sum can hardly come from just the so-called rich as he claims. In addition, the cap-and-trade carbon tax will demand another $648 billion and will hit anyone who consumes energy, which means everyone. The President tells us that the higher taxes and enormous public spending are necessary to pay for recovery and deficit reduction.
One needn't look too far to see how a platform of higher taxes, huge budget deficits, and growth of government at the expense of the private sector plays out. California, for the fifth year running in CE's annual survey of Best and Worst States in which to do business, has taken top honors as the least congenial place to do business.
There are a host of reasons why the
Under Republican governor Schwarzenegger the state budget actually grew even faster-10 percent annually as opposed to 7 percent-than under his spendthrift Democratic predecessor, Gray Davis. The problem is that there are consequences, as

The NBA is entering the last legs of the season and the conference battles are shaping up. In the Eastern Conference things are pretty clear. The Miami Heat have a commanding lead and there's simply no possible way anyone can come close. The #1 spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs is locked up. Everyone else is fighting for scraps. The New York Knicks are in the playoffs along with the Brooklyn Nets. From the Atlantic Division we'll also see the Boston Celtics. The Indiana Pacers should win the Central and go into the post-season with the Chicago Bulls right behind. Finally, in the Southeast, the Atlanta hawks will come in someplace in the middle.
The Western Conference of the NBA is a little more competitive. The Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs are waging an all out battle with a mere one game difference between the two for the right to hold the home court advantage. Either way they've both locked down their playoff berths. Right now it's too close to call. Elsewhere we find the the LA Clippers with a secured playoff spot along with Memphis and Denver.
Some where along the line here it's going to be crystal clear but the Western Conference is clearly the most competitive at the top. The East, dominated by Miami, is a free for all 10 games back behind the boys from South Beach. We'll keep you posted on all the latest NBA tickets and playoff seedings.

Major League Baseball reviewing improper pitching change
A Major League Baseball spokesman said Friday the controversial pitching change in the seventh inning of Thursday's Astros-Angels game was not applied correctly and that the matter is being reviewed.
The Angels were playing the game under protest before rallying for three runs in eighth inning to win, 6-5. Angels manager Mike Scioscia argued with the umpires that Astros manager Bo Porter made an illegal pitching change in the seventh inning.
With runners at first and third and two outs, Porter brought in lefty Wesley Wright to face left-handed hitter J.B. Shuck. Porter then subbed in the right-handed Ambriz before Wright threw a pitch after he saw right-hander Luis Jimenez on deck to pinch-hit.
Rule 3.05 (b) says that a pitcher must face at least one hitter before he can come out of the game, unless he's injured. Wright wasn't injured, and Scioscia argued at length with the umpires before notifying them he was playing the game under protest.
"My contention was that the pitcher who came in had to face one batter," Scioscia said Thursday. "That's why I protested it, and we're happy we won."
Porter said following the game he sat in a meeting last year with Nationals manager Davey Johnson that laid out the rule (Porter was Washington's third-base coach).
"If you have to pinch-hit for that batter, you now have the right to bring in another pitcher," he said. "Technically ,Wesley came in to pitch the batter that was scheduled to hit [Shuck] but he pinch-hit for the batter that was scheduled to hit. Which, from my understanding of the rule, you can bring in another pitcher to face the pinch-hitter."
Porter said he stopped to talk to the umpires to make sure Jimenez was officially in the game.
"Once I made sure that he pinch-hit for the batter that was scheduled to hit, then I started towards the mound," he said. "The home plate umpire [Adrian Johnson], he kind of stopped me. He said, 'Whoa, Bo,' and then Scioscia started yelling he has to face a hitter.
"I just calmly explained to him my interpretation of the rule is 'Yes he has to face hitter, as long as it's the hitter that's scheduled to hit.' The hitter that was scheduled to hit had now been pinch-hit for, which now gives me the right to bring a pitcher to face the pinch-hitter."

The center opened at the beginning of November at the Richmond Road hospital and offers a full range of state-of-the-art services for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. It is housed in the 18,000-square-foot women's health area on the third floor of the Kathy Risman Pavilion, which opened in September.
Dr. James M. Goldfarb, a nationally renowned fertility expert, is the director of the center. From an academic and intellectual standpoint, he found it interesting to see why families were having trouble getting pregnant.
"Helping people get a healthy family started looked like a good thing to be done," he said.
Goldfarb has been involved with medical innovations related to infertility for the past three decades, including being responsible for the first in vitro fertilization surrogacy in 1986, pioneering in the use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection in the 1990s, and being involved with pre-implantation diagnosis in the 2000s.
He also started the "Partnership for Families" program, focused on helping families who went through one IVF cycle and can't afford a second, women who are undergoing cancer treatment and want to have children after chemotherapy, and women who may give birth to a child with genetic diseases.
When it comes to the new fertility center at Ahuja, he said he saw an opportunity to start a new program with the ability to offer the highest technology in a convenient and pleasant suburban environment. He said starting brand-new is exciting and challenging, and said those who attended a national conference in Florida this year were already talking about how the new center is the most high-tech in the country.
Dr. Ali Ahmady is the lab director for the fertility center. During a tour, Ahmady showed the center's new and expensive pieces of technology — including motorized microscopes that can zoom, focus and some with LED screens — all of which can only be found at the center. No other hospital has the same technology.
The lab also houses a new generation of incubators. Each cabinet in the lab can hold three incubators and every incubator has 10 channels, each one with a special place for the dish that holds the embryos. The gas consumption is lower and the new incubators can measure pH every 50 minutes.
"We have comprehensive quality control. We used to write it all down by hand. Now we can monitor the pH of all the incubators on a computer and it can show the day, the previous week, and a whole current week," Ahmady said. "You can see the pH and temperatures of all the incubators. It also shows the temperature of the room, humidity of the room, temperature of the freezer and temperature of the fridge."
Everything in the lab is controlled for 24 hours a day and makes the lab workers' jobs much easier, according to Ahmady. He said the equipment in the center costs at least $800,000 to put together.
"The UH Fertility Center provides the most advanced infertility therapies available to help patients realize their dreams of having a baby," Goldfarb said. "Our new full-service center is equipped with the latest technology and offers comprehensive, individualized care in a welcoming, patient-friendly environment."

JACKSON, MI -- Nena Asbury is hoping score photos with Jeff Gordon and other famous NASCAR drivers who are flying into Jackson County Airport for the race weekend.
Don't be surprised if she pulls it off.
Asbury, who has had her picture taken with dozens of sports stars and
celebrities for 10 years, said she has photos with NASCAR drivers, WWE
professional wrestlers, actors and professional baseball players. Among
those are NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., actors Adam Sandler, Kevin
James and Gerard Butler.
"I've meet a lot of cool people," Asbury said. "And I've met a lot of friends doing this who are doing the same thing."
She said she has taken photos with so many famous people she couldn't even begin to speculate the exact number. However, she said she is especially excited to take photos with NASCAR drivers because she really enjoys the sport.
"My family always watched NASCAR, so I started watching it with them," Asbury said. "And I fell in love with it."
Apart from the actual sport, she said she loves the experience of NASCAR season. It brings exciting people and attention to the area, she said.
"I think the event brings a lot of excitement. There's not a lot to do in Jackson," she said. "People look forward to it."
