New Orleans Hornets owner George Shinn underwent successful surgery Wednesday to remove a cancerous prostate gland, and the procedure has been labeled a success.
Shinn's surgeon, Dr. Patrick Walsh of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institute in Baltimore, was able to remove 100 percent of the cancer, the team said in a release, and Shinn is expected to make a full recovery.
"Following (Wednesday's) successful surgery to completely remove the cancer, Mr. Shinn will begin the process to a full and speedy recovery and is anxious to return to the Hive to watch his team play and enjoy the recent success the team is experiencing, " Hornets team spokesman Harold Kaufman said in a statement.
"With the support of his immediate and extended Hornets family, Mr. Shinn is an example of how positive thinking and the power of prayer can serve you in your own time of need. He will conduct the majority of his rehab out of town for the next few weeks, but looks forward to thanking everyone in person for their well-wishes and prayers."
Shinn will remain hospitalized for several days, then stay in Baltimore several additional days before returning to his offseason home in Tennessee to continue his convalescence.
Since receiving the initial diagnosis in November, Shinn, 68, has worked to change his diet and lifestyle, becoming a vegetarian and dropping about 32 pounds. He chose Walsh as his caregiver, Shinn said, because of the surgeon's groundbreaking work in treating prostate conditions. Walsh has spent 30 years as a professor and Director of the Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins.
Collison late scratch: Hornets rookie point guard Darren Collison, who missed Monday's loss at Philadelphia with a bruised right knee, was out again on Wednesday night.

John DeShazier: Victory caps good day for George Shinn, Hornets
Collison was kicked in the knee in the first half of Sunday's win at Washington and was having flexibility issues the next night.
"Those things happen because it's a long season, " Collison said. "I had an opportunity to continue to prepare and rest, but I want to help my team again."
Coach Jeff Bower said the team felt it was best to have Collison sit for one more game. He is expected to play during the weekend road trip to Detroit and Indiana.
Twist for Griffin: Los Angeles Clippers rookie center Blake Griffin, the first overall pick in this year's NBA draft, was declared out for the rest of the season before Wednesday night's game against the Hornets.
Griffin will undergo surgery to repair the broken knee cap he sustained in an Oct. 23 exhibition game in Los Angeles, also against the Hornets.
Griffin was dunking the ball over New Orleans' Morris Peterson in that meaningless game when he came down wincing in pain. A stress fracture in the kneecap was diagnosed and rest prescribed. Griffin, from Oklahoma, later experienced pain while doing rehabilitation work on an anti-gravity treadmill.
This is the second time in three years that the overall No. 1 pick will miss his entire first season with a knee injury. It happened in 2007 to the Portland Trail Blazers' Greg Oden, who had microfracture surgery on his right knee that cost him his first year. Oden also is out this season with a broken left kneecap.
Online All-Star voting: Even though paper All-Star ballots are no longer being accepted fans can still cast votes online for starting positions in the Feb. 14 game in Arlington, Texas.
In the most recent voting numbers released by the NBA last week, Hornets guard Chris Paul, a two-time All-Star, was in fourth among Western Conference guards with 701,417, behind Steve Nash's 744,250.
Last year, Paul overcame a deficit of 157,000 in the final two weeks of balloting to get a starting spot.
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant already has one of the starting spots locked up with 1.7 million votes. Tracy McGrady, who has hardly played this season and has said he would play in the game if voted as a starter, is second with 746,625.
Fans can cast Internet ballots through Monday.
Jimmy Smith can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 504.826.3814.

Discussion in 'Projectors, Screens & Video Processors' started by bazonix, Sep 27, 2011.
Cheers Bazonix didnt realise about the converter box. Thnx again
Jason, the top housing for the screen is 116 inches at its widest, and the screen size vertically is 59 inches, although there is a sizable amount of black border at the top (approx. 2 feet) so you can bring the viewable portion of the screen as low as 7 feet from top to bottom , so the answer to your question I suppose would be 5 - 7 feet vertically, and anywhere in between using the stop button on the remote.
Thanks kingaaa as I understand the gt750 has to be pin point accurate when ceiling mounted, I know I have to have the pj 20cm above my viewing area will the 2ft black border at the top of the screen I've ordered aid me in anyway? My thought is if I'm not pin point accurate with the mounting I could manually adjust the black border up or down until the image is correct, hope this makes sense.
Mine arrived this morning at work.
Have not tried it yet, comes with a cute bag (not the ruck sack type) its so small compared to other projectors I have owned.
Ive opened mine firstly to discover that:
A) The glasses are NOT the RF type but are the DLP Link 3D Ready ZD201 model. Part No.70.Z0301GC0E
B) Their is NO RF Transmitter
C) European 2 Pin Plug
So their seems to be some confusion as to what exactly the XL model should indeed ship with.
I think the GT750E is the US version with the RF emitter, The GT750XL are the UK ones with the DLP Link 3D Ready ZD201 glasses.
well, i guess efficiency and politeness does not equal accuracte. i dont like being negative, but i was assured they were rf. i would have at least opened the box to physically check, being an actual supplier and all that...
edit: mine came with both a 2 pin and 3 pin.. so im coming to the conclusion avpm selling grey imports if no uk plug present. may be not though...
Having just ordered the gt750xl from avpartsmaster this morning, I have just emailed Paul at avpartsmaster and he replied stating they are the rf ones product code E1AS300000002
but has the box been opened to check? if one person has already received their xl, and they are dlp, strange how urs will be rf...
Dont get me wrong I was going to buy from a different dealer and get the ZD201s anyways. What annoys me is that certainly on my box it is very clear what glasses this model comes with. I was also told via the live chat from "Paul" the RF were included and tbh thats what I will be wanting.
I will contact him to have the glasses replaced to what I was told was included. Lets see how the customer service holds up. The website is not clear on what is included or the difference between the standard and XL models.
While the box does not indicate XL their is a product sticker that does indicate indeed it is the XL model.
Mine has French/English writing on the box.
Will see what is delivered and update from their I also will want the correct glasses I ordered. Very strange
Well Ive been assured the appropiate glasses & RF transmitter will be shipped direct from Optoma. The mistake seems to be on their part and Im not annoyed. Paul has been very helpful and its good to know that customer service still exists.
Keep you guys upto date.
My PJ has been running for an hour and no funny noises. Just on a wall at a business so far from ideal to give a report on quality but seems to be working fine.
Good news will have to wait and see what I get delivered on Monday now!!!
hiya everyone cant coment on the glasses because i only got the gt750 projector, ordering glasses seperatly but i can confirm the projector came with 2 plugs the 2 pin and the uk 3 pin, i have just ordered a screen so cant really comment and picture quality yet because i have only projected onto a dirty (ish) white wall, but the picture did look nice and bright and clear hooked up to sky sports news HD for a few minutes but i have not really had a proper play yet to set it up properly. but so far i am very pleased and surprised how light this thing is i have only messed for 5 minutes with it, i will come back to comment on 3d gaming on films etc in a few days time prob be monday when i get my screen and glasses delivered now.
please do! mine is hopefully back at shop now, iv requested a refund as id like to get all this mess cleared up and buy one with the rf inc. wish optoma were a little more reliable in terms of physical stock available relative to model nomenclature and box contents.
Optoma have kindly contacted me via telephone.
The situation is that their has been a small mistake on Optoma's part.
The 750GTXL ONLY ships with DLP Link glasses.
This is not a mistake on "Avpartsmaster" or indeed "Paul's" fault.
Like many companies the goods are often shipped direct and are not held instock at the store you may be purchasing from.
The newer 1080P 3D model does ship with the RF Glasses and Transmitter.
Some tech sites have reported that the 750GT would come with these as well. Instead it is only compatible with the RF glasses and for the 750GT will need to be purchased seperately.
Additionally you cannot have a mix of DLP and RF, you have to use multiple glasses of one type.
Hope it helps the confusion guys and Optoma are to ring me back later.
They apologise for the confusion.
that is a little poor. i mean.. u now have dlp glasses, so its gonna cost what ever to furnish with rf.. and then sell the dlp?!! come on.. the tx is approx 50 quid... so really, its false economy to purchase anything but the vanilla model IF the rf system is wanted.
if they do kindly call back, could we clarify if a GT750'RF' will be announced please...
Well to be fair the company was only going by the information they were given. For people that are happy with the DLP glasses the XL still gives you a good value package. Optoma have contacted me again.
Ive come to an arrangment that is more than acceptable and although this is the first time Ive used Avpartsmaster they have provided a good service and handled this promptly.
We read so often on forums of vendors doing great discounted prices but with little service. I have no complaints whatsoever.
The 750GT for those wanting RF Glasses should be purchased as the standard package not the XL. Then you can purchase the RF model glasses and transmitter seperate.
Thanks again to Paul, top bloke and Anna.
I too have been speaking to avpartsmaster and they now say to resolve the situation they are selling the rf glasses at trade price for those mis informed. to be fair it's not down to them as it's poor information from optoma so personally i think Paul is doing a great job of trying to resolve this
Jason, that should work out fine for you as long as your sdistance is corroect.I found I had to have it further from the screen than the calculator advised - that may be a setting thing though.
Amazing picture by the way!
Here's a quick video of my first test playing Avatar from my Mede8er
Optoma GT750 first test - AvatarWatch this video on YouTube
Looks good kingaaa looking forward to receiving mine now!!!
I currently have a benq5120 which provides a 220cm diagonal picture from 350 cm from the screen, looking at the gt750 the projector only needs to be 150cm from the screen to provide me with a 220cm image however the projector will be sited on a coffee table and I am concerned that light from the back of the projector will be annoying (my seating is 350cm from the screen so will be 200cm from the projector). Can someone who already has a gt750 give me some idea of how much light escapes from the back of it?
hey brendon, there is no light escape from the back of the projector at all tba after a few minutes you forget the projector is in front of you i still need to do alot of playing around with the colour settings to get what i want not had time to do this yet as i work nights but i cant wait to have a proper play around on my days off, so far i have just watched a footy game on it and i am very impressed and happy with my purchase this is my first projector so cant compare to anything else. I have still not had chance to watch owlt in 3D or have a proper gaming session yet.
Ive only been able to have a quick test or two with mine with being busy. Unfortunately the room its going has pretty bad walls and I havnt got the screen here yet.
I would say that the performance is similar to Panasonics 720p previous AX models. It isnt as sharp for me on this test as my old Panasonic AE2000 was. This is my first DLP model though and I didnt notice any crosstalk on GT5. (only 3D game tried so far)
Really this is a gaming projector so those wanting the best movie quality and colour accuracy etc should consider the model up. What is great about this projector is the size of screen it produces (120" from 6 ft). Easy to setup and while I have not tested it properly I believe I will be mostly satisified with this.
I like the remote, carry bag and design of this cute little projector. Bulb costs also seem to be affordable. It is a little noisy on the high lamp mode and I think they missed a trick not having 2D-3D conversion as a feature. That Id of loved to try with non 3D games.
I expect this to be getting great reviews and value for money. Gamers and SKY Sports usage no doubt could be greatly enchanced by this purchase.
Received my screen and pj today had a quick look all seems ok had a look at sky hd and fairly impressed. Obviously need a play about with it to get what I want but out if the box is good. Has anyone played around with colour settings yet? Not had chance to set up speakers yet but have to say was surprised with the built in speakers very clear overall very happy with what I've seen so far
Also was wondering if I set my sky hd resolution to automatic will it set the display to 720p when the projector is started up at the moment it's set to 1080i for my 50" plasma saves changing it everytime. Thanks
hiya lads, am having problems with my image settings i had colour and tint options as well as contrast, brightness and sharpness but they have disapeared and i cant seem to get them back anybody no what i`m talking about or help me out.
Have you tried a reset you'll find it in the advanced options i think!
Lads, I need some help - its my first projector and Im totally in the dark! I have the picture about as good as I can get it, but there seems to be a border of light from the lamp that actually spills over onto the wall, even when I turn it off the warning telling me to press "off" again is outside the screen(below to the right), is this normal?
Also are you having this problem when you have no input as I dont think you get the full menu unless you have a actual input to the projector

from Photographers' Blog:
Barefoot in a recycled school
The environment hasn't been spared in India's headlong rush towards development and consumerism. With it came mounds of garbage, piles of waste that had nowhere to go, industrial pollutants that were fed straight back into the rivers and lakes that supply drinking water to millions. Walking around the streets of any town in India, you don't get the feeling that care for the environment is on the top of anyone's list of priorities.
Food for thought
Feeling hungry? Maybe that's because of all the news, from around the world, about food today — how much people produce, how much more they need, how much it's going to cost, how much of an effect it will have on climate change, and vice versa.
from Tales from the Trail:
Green energy aspirations for Obama's India visit
When Barack Obama heads for India next month, he'll be carrying a heavy policy agenda -- questions over the handling of nuclear material, the outsourcing of U.S. jobs and India's status as a growing economic power, along with regional relations with Pakistan and Afghanistan. But Rajendra Pachauri, the Nobel Peace laureate who heads the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, hopes the U.S. president has time to focus on clean energy too.
from Russell Boyce:
Don't drink the water, even if there is any to drink (Update)
One more picture that caught my eye during the 24 hours news cycle for the World Water Day is the image of hundreds of hoses providing drinking water to residents of a housing block in Jakarta. The grubby plastic pipes supplying a fragile lifeline to families seem to represent the desperation that people face when the water supply is cut off.
from India Insight:
Why let a debate determine the fate of GM foods?
There's nothing Indians like better than a good debate.
So when Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh announced last month that he would hold public debates to decide the commercial fate of genetically modified brinjal (eggplant), there were hopes these would provide a chance for all stakeholders to be heard.

We've been working on this and he's come far, but he'll need a handler that is proficient with dogs to continue working on this.
He is a 2-year-old, 40-pound hound mix who's crate-trained, great with cats and good with dogs that understand his resource guarding. He would be best without children, although he is good with them when with an experienced handler.

We enjoyed staying in this wonderful apartment located in a great neighbourhood.
It is clean, bright, very well-equipped and street is calm ! I totally recommend this place. Hope we could book it next time we plan to visit NYC !
Wonderful department in East Village. Very clean, comfortable and spacious. Shawn is very kind and she is always aware for any issue. The department is only a few blocks from the subway station, great location.
The apartment was neat and clean. It was also quiet, no traffic noise either.
Shawn was very friendly and helpful. The location is a bit far from the main shops; to the nearest subway station it takes approx. 15 mins. to walk. For walkers like us it was ok.
Appartement is very comfortable and clean. The street is calm and a park is close (great for kids). A nice week ! Many Thanks to Shawn. Everything was perfect. And I love NYC :-)
The apartment is grate and the kitchen is equipped with everything we needed. Our two Girls, age 14 and 12 sleept very well in the sofabed whitch you blow up very qvickly with an electrical appliance. Sometimes we walked to Union sqr and sometimes we took the bus. There is a supermarket close to the apartment and also a grate deal of restaurants within a Walking distance. We will be back.

She picks up her blending stump and goes to work moving graphite.
She's an artist, the graphite pencil in her hand her favorite medium for portraits. The blending stump - a tightly rolled paper with a dull point - lets her blend the pencil markings. She could use her finger, but she'd end up with black fingers that never would wash clean.
Vickey Groat will take many of her pencil portraits, plus some paintings and a whole lot of painted porcelain, to the Saturday community art show and sale at St. Olaf Lutheran Church fellowship hall. It's one way she can show off her skills.
Article Photos
-Messenger photo by Sandy Mickelson
Vickey Groat is one of the artists taking part in Saturday's art show and sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. Olaf Lutheran Church. It is free to the public.
That, say organizers Marian Jensen and Jane Zenor, is the reason they've put together this art show and sale.
"If you have a hobby, you either sell it, give it away or stockpile it," Jensen said. "This art show will help those who stockpile. There are a lot of artists in the area."
She said it's important for people to have hobbies. "Absolutely, whether they're working or not. That way, at work you can always concentrate on what you get to do when you get home."
Then she laughed. With a wide array of art in her background, just talking about art makes her happy.
"One time we had a party, and I had 50-some oil paintings, and I said, 'Now, you can have whatever you want,' and the paintings were all gone. They spurred me on with whatever I wanted to do - cake decorating, china painting or oil painting. They have never discouraged me, and that's what we need. Even adults need it."
Jensen's encouragement of Groat has given Groat the courage to keep trying new techniques, new ideas, even though Jensen insists Groat is an all-around artist who knows what she's doing and how to do it.
"It's especially nice for shadows," Groat said of her blending stuff. Then, as if she couldn't help it, she rubbed a spot with her finger, quickly wiping off the black.
"I'm going to take things I've done from photographs," she said about the art show and sale. "That's mostly what I do now, draw from photographs. I love all mediums, it's just with the zoo and all the volunteering, I just haven't had time."
Her husband, Scott, is volunteer zoo manager, and she helps by feeding animals and cleaning cages every day.
She blends her love of the zoo with her art and has made a line of "Zoolery" - jewelry with a connection to the zoo. Some pieces, for instances, are made with peacock feathers or quills. Sometimes she pours porcelain pieces to incorporate those feathers and quills.
"People do not understand, we do not get money from the city to run that zoo," she said.
So all proceeds from her Zoolery is donated to the zoo for the benefit of the animals.
"Since I retired last year, I've been too busy to think," Groat said. "I thought when I retired, I'd have time to do so many things. I'm busier now than when I worked full time. Here, I thought I'd be drawing and painting all the time. I don't."

A bud was telling me that FN sold them the tooling back in the day, just wanted to make sure they hadn't made any drastic changes. I see J&G and SOG has them, anyone else carrying them? Anyone have any feedback on the general condition (exterior and interior)....is a hand pick fee or higher price going to be worth it (J&G has the higher grade at a higher price and I think SOG's hand pick just covers picking the best of the first 5 they look at)?

Photography by Scot HillFloral arrangements made from native wildflowers and plants help bring nature indoors at all times of the year. Gathering plants from your yard or garden and assembling them in containers for indoor display allows you to share your passion for regional plants with visitors and guests when cold weather keeps you from entertaining outside.
Regardless of locale, the landscape offers inspiration for novice and advanced floral designers. Janet Hampel, owner of Florabella Designs, began designing floral arrangements in the '90s and works mainly in Austin, Texas, western Michigan, and Aspen, Colorado. She doesn't feel limited by working with what a region's native plant palette has to offer nor by designing in months when blooms are hard to find.
Hampel recently created a winter-inspired table arrangement of native Michigan plants that included the bark of redosier dogwood (Cornus sericea), leaves of red sumac (Rhus glabra) and white pine branches (Pinus strobus).
Janet Hampel combined rain lilies (Cooperia drummondii), beauty berry (Callicarpa americana), Texas mountain laurel (Sophora secundiflora) pods and snow on the mountain (Euphorbia marginata) in this arrangement.
Because color comes from the plant material but also from the container and the "roomscape" in which the arrangement is placed, Hampel recommends designers keep in mind the surroundings and the mood they wish to create. "I prefer a more 'disarranged' arrangement that allows the flowers to fall with natural grace. Bunching and grouping plant material gives definition," Hampel says.
Wildflower Center volunteer Maggie Livings teaches a course at the Center about designing cut flower arrangements-this year it will be on April 18. She offers beginning designers the following advice. "It's good to place support material and the largest flowers in the container first." She says that gradation - placing like materials in an ordered sequence - largest to smallest, darkest to lightest - gives rhythm or movement. Shadowing - placing one object directly behind another like it - gives a three-dimensional appearance.
Use a container about one-third the total height of the arrangement to achieve proportion. It's also useful to contrast textures, form and color by using vastly different types of plant material in a single design.
Livings urges using care when collecting natural materials. Collect wildflowers during the coolest part of the day and place them immediately into clean water.
"The most important thing," Livings says, "is to enjoy your native plant arrangements, treat them gently, give them plenty to drink, and they will reward you with a week or more of beauty. Learn a bit about them - their names, their habitats, their growth characteristics. The more you learn, the more you will want to know."

I am glad you have chosen to stop by and view my webpage.
Have you been thinking you need to talk to someone lately? A psychotherapist is a good place to start. I am a holistic – somatic – transpersonal therapist which means many things but mainly this means I look at the whole person or the bigger picture. Another way of saying it is that my focus is on the mind, body and spirit. If this makes sense to you, or if it sounds interesting then my hope is that you will take the time to read each of the sections (above), so that you can find out if I will be able to meet your needs. I've tried to cover all the questions someone would be asking when they are considering a therapist.
Updated News from my office:
My NEW CD is out The Child of the Narcissist: Guided Meditations for Healing
and here's more:
My blog has different articles pertaining to the various reasons clients come to seek therapy. I have a "Blog Categories" on the right side of this webpage so that you can choose which sections you are interested in. I think when people read articles of interest to them, that I wrote, you can have a sense of who I am as a person and a professional.
When you click on Prospective Clients, I have listed the topics that are my areas of interest when working with a client. I have also highlighted some of these topics if I have written a specific article on it and you can click on that and take a peek. Here is a hint of those topics: Pre-Marital Counseling, Life Transitions, Grief, Surviving Abuse and Stress.
The other tabs you will see above have to do with where I am located, what my fees are and how to contact me.
The reasons people come to see a psychotherapist or in my case, (a.k.a.) an Independent Marriage and Family Therapist, are varied. Each psychotherapist has their own specialties or clientele they have had experience with and feel they are able to achieve results. If I am not the right professional for you, there are other resources for choosing a therapist that is right for you, in the state you live in. If this is the case, I wish you the best on your journey.
If after having researched this website, you find I am the right person for you, contact me at 614-813-7677 and then we can begin to engage on your path toward self-exploration.
Sincerely, Jeannine Vegh, M.A., I.M.F.T.

Allan Drury, a Con Ed spokesman, said the outage was caused by lightning striking overhead wires near the intersection of Victory Boulevard and Richmond Avenue.
Emergency transmissions have also reported that several traffic lights, including lights along Victory Boulevard, have gone dark.
Con Ed is currently estimating that power will be restored by 6 p.m.On Monday, Con Ed warned its customers about the strong winds and heavy rains in the weather forecast, and offered the following safety tips.
- If you see downed electrical wires, do not go near them. Treat all downed wires as if they are live. Never attempt to move them or touch them with your hands or any object. Be mindful that downed wires can be hidden from view by tree limbs, leaves, or water.
- Report all downed wires to Con Edison and your local police department immediately. If a power line falls on your car while you're in it, stay inside the vehicle and wait for emergency personnel.
- If your power goes out, disconnect or turn off appliances that would otherwise turn on automatically when service is restored. If several appliances start up at once, the electric circuits may overload.
- Check to make sure your flashlights and any battery-operated radios are in working order. Make sure you have a supply of extra batteries.
- Weather updates and news on restorations of electrical service can be heard on most local radio and television stations.
Staten Islanders can report downed power lines and outages at www.conEd.com or by calling 1-800-75-CONED.

The devastating flu outbreak in the US could be on its way here
- From: news.com.au
- January 15, 2013
- 20 children have died from flu in the US
- Influenza strains travel the globe
- Australia should consider US season a "forewarning"
A KILLER flu that's sweeping the US could end up Down Under.
The influenza season has hit early and hard in the United States.
Twenty children have died from the H2N3 virus that has swept across most of the country, there are vaccine shortages, and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a state of emergency.
There have already been five times as many cases reported in New York as there were in the entire flu season last year, and it's not clear if the season has yet peaked.
Golden Globe winner Hugh Jackman is among those hit, and he said he was still battling the strain that had "swept the entire west coast" of the US.
The Australian Medical Association president Steven Hambleton said the overseas experience was a "forewarning" for Australia.
"Last time the flu season peaked early (in the US) there were 50,000 deaths," he said.
"We do tend to parallel the Northern Hemisphere in the south so it's a forewarning that we need to get in early and vaccinate this year. "
Dr Hambleton said the flu would still come in our winter, but that widespread vaccination would protect the vulnerable and reduce the effects in the healthy.
Vaccinations are tailored each year to match the expected strains that develop, mutate, and travel around the world.
The virulent Influenza A strain is the most common, but Influenza B and the H1N1 swine flu are still active.
Influenza Specialist Group chairman, virologist Dr Alan Hampson said they can never be sure what the upcoming flu season will hold but that the situation in the US "does tend to alert us to the fact we may well suffer something similar" and that experts were "watching with interest".
"We really can't predict what's going to happen. It's best to anticipate it could be a bad season particularly for those prone to bad outcomes if they do contract influenza," he said.
"We will soon be heading into the vaccination time. From what I understand from colleagues overseas the vaccine we'll have should be a very good match for the strains circulating in other parts of the world."
Dr Hampson said there were also outbreaks in Hong Kong, and that south-east Asian influenzas often flowed in to Australia.
The specially formulated vaccine will be available in March and will protect against Influenza A (H2N3), Influenza B, and swine flu.
Tens of thousands of Australians get the flu each year, many are hospitalised and some die. The most vulnerable are older people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, pregnant women and anyone with an underlying health problem.

Ooooohhh the crazies are out today!! Puleeze, antivax people, you have to be trolls right? Nobody is that ignorant, right?!
Shaun of Australia Posted at 12:36 AM January 15, 2013
Valdamar Valerian, Ida Honoroff, Eustace Mullins and others have exposed the fact that vaccinations lead to the very diseases they are meant to prevent and have cost the world millions of deaths. WB Clark wrote in the NY Press in 1909: Cancer was practically unknown until the cowpox vaccination began to be introduced. I have seen 200 cases of cancer, and I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinated person.
Jay of Perth Posted at 12:26 AM January 15, 2013
Get your facts right Queen B, flu shots do not cause the flu. They only protect against the most common strains of the flu virus and it usually doesn't kick in until about 2 weeks after getting the injection. It's also not going to protect you against a mutated strain of the virus. Get yourself educated before you go spreading idiotic nonsense. FLU SHOTS DO NOT CAUSE THE FLU!!!

To the Editor:
I recently read comments from local dentists chastising the village of Pulaski for not adding fluoride to its public water supply. You see, fluoride is classified as a hazardous waste product by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, so why would anyone add it to drinking water?
Fluoride is not a nutrient or a prescription drug. It is a major industrial waste product. It cannot be legally dumped in oceans, rivers or lakes or added to soil — but it can be sold to be added to commercial water supplies! Over 23 human studies and 100-plus animal studies have linked fluoride to brain damage. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 41 percent of American children have dental fluorosis caused by excess fluoride in their system. Fluoride should not be ingested and topical application should be a matter of personal choice.
The village of Pulaski should have the freedom to decide for themselves.

Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown will be in Holyoke Saturday for a signing event promoting his new book, "Against All Odds."
Brown's book has been described as more of a personal memoir than a political work, focusing on his rough childhood, including physical abuse at the hands of his step fathers and sexual abuse from a camp counselor.
Read a review from The Boston Globe »
In a recent Q&A with Wicked Local, Brown described some of the challenges in telling his story:
It's challenging for anyone to tell their whole life story in a book for the entire world to read. There are some things in there that I am not proud of, and some I would rather forget, but it's my life -- and I wouldn't change a moment of it because it has led me to where I am today. I have a wonderful wife and two exceptional daughters -- and I have the greatest job on the planet representing the people of Massachusetts.
The event will be held at the Barnes & Noble from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.

It's a costly habit that could get even more expensive. Starting in 2014, the Affordable Health Care Act will allow insurers to charge smokers buying individual policies up to 50% higher premiums.
"I think it's one of those things where people make choices," said former smoker Barry Dalton. "Choices come with consequences, choices come at a cost."
Under the overhaul, insurers won't be allowed to charge more if you're overweight or have a health condition. But they can issue fees if you light up. Cigarette makers say the policy is discrimination.
"It's a lifestyle choice that we've made and I just think that's ridiculous having to spend more money like that," shared smoker Christopher Northington.
Nearly one in every five US adults smokes. That share is higher among lower income people who are also more likely to work in jobs that don't come with health insurance and would therefore depend on the federal health care law. It's something that worries the American Cancer Society.
In a statement they told 69 News: "Levying a surcharge on tobacco users could make health insurance unaffordable and prohibit them from getting either the medical help needed to break their addiction or the basic health care that we all need."
Smoking increases the risk of developing heart disease, lung problems and cancer. It contributes to about 450,000 deaths a year.
"If it helps people make that choice or think twice about it, it's probably worthwhile," added Dalton.
"Money has never been a reason why I've ever thought of quitting," explained Northington.
The American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic agrees, saying in part: "Punitive measures like tobacco surcharges have not been proven effective in encouraging smokers to quit and reducing tobacco use."
In the end, the battle could be up to each state. Under the law now, states have the power to limit the smoking surcharges or prohibit them all together.

WARE – It was a picture-perfect afternoon for football at Ware High School on Saturday. The Ware and Palmer football teams met to renew their historic rivalry, and boy did they ever.
The Indians defeated the Panthers 29-20 in a barnburner, securing a playoff spot for the team and eliminating Palmer from contention.
Meeting for the 87th time, the game held playoff implications for both teams. Entering the day Palmer stood at 3-3 in league play. Palmer needed a victory to stay alive, while a win for Ware (4-3) would clinch a playoff berth.
With under a minute to play in the first, Palmer quarterback Tyrus Gaynor found receiver Joe Roberts open downfield for a 75-yard touchdown.
On Ware's next possession they fumbled, giving Palmer the ball at its 22-yard line. After a Tyrus Gaynor carry for 10 yards, and a personal-foul penalty, Gaynor would scamper 5 yards for the touchdown. Palmer's two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful, giving them a 12-0 lead.
That's when Ware would kick it into gear. Taking over on its own 33-yard line, the Indians' offense powered by Zered McCoy and Andrew Koczur would take the term "ground and pound" to the next level. Sharing the load, the two amassed 67 yards on the drive and McCoy capped off a 5-yard touchdown run. Jacob Hurlburt's kick would be good, bringing Ware within five, 12-7.
With Palmer looking to answer, Gaynor rattled off a 40-yard carry, but momentum changed when on the next play Koczur stripped the ball out of Gaynor's hands for the fumble and recovery.
Ware took advantage. McCoy added a 40-yard run of his own and with just 19 seconds before the half, another touchdown, this time from 3 yards out, giving the Indians the lead for the first time at 15-12.
After the half, Palmer intercepted Koczur and like the Ware fumble recovery before, the turnover led to points. Gaynor, the pillar of the Panthers' offense, used his athletic ability to pick up a couple of first downs on the ground, and with the Ware defense biting on the run, Gaynor found receiver Demetri Cardenales in the left side of the end zone for the touchdown. The two-point conversion was good, giving Palmer the lead once again 20-15.
Again Ware responded, this time with a little bit of luck. After taking over near midfield via a short kickoff, they drove down to the 3-yard line. Koczur fumbled the QB keeper into the end zone, and receiver Doug Pulchtopek fell on top of the ball for the score giving the lead to Ware for good.
McCoy added another Ware touchdown, his third of the afternoon. He accounted for 166 yards on 20 carries. Koczur also carried the ball for 99 yards on 17 carries.

The American Hockey League has suspended Hershey Bears right wing Brandon Segal for two games for boarding Syracuse Crunch defenseman Joey Mormina in a game on Saturday.
The incident happened in the third period of a 5-0 Crunch win.
Mormina stayed in the game but suffered an unspecified injury. Mormina did not play in Syracuse's win over Hershey on Sunday. His status is listed as day-to-day.
"I thought it was a bad hit from behind,'' said Crunch coach Rob Zettler. "Segal's not normally that type of player.''
Segal said he thought the punishment was too severe.
"First-time offender," Segal said. "It's kind of disappointing getting two games. I can understand one, but what do you do?''
The AHL handed out the suspension as part of its supplementary discipline review. Tampa Bay assistant general manager Julien BriseBois would not comment when asked whether the Lightning requested the league take an extra look at the hit.
Hershey coach Mike Haviland told the Harrisburg Patriot-News that the review was, indeed, initiated by Syracuse.
"Mormina, I guess, has got concussion-like symptoms, so they gave him two games," Haviland said. "That's the league; that's their ruling. You've got to live by it.
The Crunch hosts Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday. Syracuse could be hurting on the blueline if Mormina isn't back by then. J.P. Cote remains on AHL suspension and Andrej Sustr was injured in Friday's loss to Utica, an issue that could keep him out at least through this weekend and possibly longer.

GREAT VALLEY - Pumpkinville will have pink pumpkins available at its pumpkin yard to benefit the Western New York affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Dan and Diane Pawlowski, owners of Pumpkinville, said they are excited to offer the addition to their variety of pumpkins.
"When Diane and I researched growing pink pumpkins, we knew immediately we had to use them to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Western New York. They've been a huge success with our crowds and we've only been open five days," Powlowski said.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each "pink" pumpkin will be donated to the WNY Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Money raised by the Komen WNY Affiliate go to support local breast health education and outreach programs and services for families affected by this disease.
Diane Pawlowski will be honored later in the morning at the Women of Influence awards and luncheon. The Pawlowski family took over Pumpkinville in 1996, making it an entertainment destination for families wanting to do something on a fall afternoon.
Pumpkinville is located at 4844 Sugartown Road, off Route 98 in Great Valley, minutes from Ellicottville. Pumpkinville is open through Oct. 31 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Admission is free. For more information visit www.pumpkinville.com.

The new year is about to begin and I'm determined to get back on track with The Bread Baker's Apprentice Challenge! I've fallen way behind many of my fellow BBA bakers, but the great thing about this challenge is that we each set our own pace, and even though I've fallen behind, I can pick right back up where I left off and continue working toward the goal of finishing all the breads in the book. And since I am behind several of the others, there are plenty of people I can turn to for help or advice!
Today, I'm writing about the 15th bread in the challenge: Italian Bread. I actually baked and photographed this bread months ago, so bear with me as I try to remember the details of the process – luckily I took lots of photos. One thing I do remember is the wonderful flavor of this bread. I gave a loaf to my friend Caron for her birthday, and she shared a buttered slice of the still-warm bread with me in her kitchen. There's nothing like sharing bread and butter with a friend!
Peter Reinhart's Italian Bread is soft and delicious with a thin crisp crust that softens slightly as the bread cools. It is wonderful sliced and served with butter, but I think that this bread really shines as a sandwich loaf. I will definitely be making the Italian Bread again, but next time will form the dough into smaller torpedo rolls for meatball sandwiches.
Just like the French Bread, this formula employs a pre-ferment to extract maximum flavor from the simple ingredients. For the French Bread, the pre-ferment was pâte fermentée, but the Italian version is biga. The biga is made the day before you want to bake the bread (or up to 3 days earlier). It's a simple mixture of flour, a bit of instant yeast, and water. The biga forms a dough similar in consistency to what the final dough will be. It's kneaded, allowed to ferment at room temperature for a few hours, then placed in the refrigerator overnight.
The following day, you will remove the biga from the refrigerator cut it into small pieces one hour before starting the Italian Bread, so that it can come up to room temperature. The pieces are then mixed with some flour, salt, sugar, yeast and malt powder.
Next you add the liquid ingredients: olive oil and water. The instructions are to mix all of the ingredients, adjusting with extra flour or water as needed to achieve a dough that is slightly sticky and soft, but not too sticky. This is where you just have to reach in and feel the dough, and use your best judgment!
The instructions are to mix all of the ingredients, adjusting with extra flour or water as needed to achieve a dough that is slightly sticky and soft, but not too sticky. This is where you just have to reach in and feel the dough, and use your best judgment!
The first time I felt the dough, it seemed too dry and tough. I decided to add a tiny bit more water.
But this dough seemed way too sticky and soft. Solution? Add a bit more flour!
I finally ended up with a dough that seemed to fit the Mr. Reinhart's description, so I switched to the dough hook and kneaded it until it was slightly tacky and supple.
To check if it had been kneaded enough, I used the windowpane test (which is rather hard to photograph alone, by the way). It passed with flying colors, so it was ready to ferment.
I placed the ball of dough in an oiled bowl, turning it once to cover, then let it ferment at room temperature (covered) for close to 2 hours.
As you can see, the dough definitely doubled in size!
Next, I dumped it out onto a lightly floured surface, to divide and shape the dough into loaves.
Normally, I use a scale to weigh the pieces, ensuring that I end up with loaves of equal size. Apparently, I was feeling lazy this day. And as you can see, the dough isn't exactly evenly divided. Oh well.
Following the instructions and photos in the book, I gently shaped the pieces into bâtards (torpedoes). It's important to be gentle with the dough during the shaping process, as you don't want to degas the dough too much.
Next, I transferred the loaves to a sheet of parchment on my peel. I've had pretty good luck using parchment instead of cornmeal or semolina. It's less messy, and the parchment slides right off the peel onto the baking stone. The problem I did have, was placing the loaves too close together. I just wasn't paying attention.
As you can see, the loaves are already touching, after proofing for an hour. But I knew if I tried to move them at this point, I was going to have problems. I decided to just let them bake together.
The final step before baking, is scoring the tops of the loaves with a knife or razor blade. I used a razor blade. The loaves were baked in a preheated 500 degree oven that had been prepared for hearth baking. This means that a baking stone and an empty pan were placed in the oven before preheating. When the oven is heated, the loaves are placed directly on the stone, hot water is poured in the hot pan, and the oven door is closed immediately. The steam from the water and the direct heat from the baking stone help promote oven spring and a crisp crust.
As you can see, the loaves were beautiful despite the fact that I let them proof and bake too close together. This really was some wonderful tasting bread, and I'm so happy to finally share it with you. I also want to send out a big hug and thank you to the lovely Janice of Round The Table, who sent me part of her stash of diastatic barley malt powder, an ingredient I was lacking for this bread and the next one coming up.
Are you ready to give homemade Italian Bread a try? The recipe can be found on page 172 of The Bread Baker's Apprentice. The next bread in the challenge is Kaiser Rolls, and they are both fun to make and delicious! I've made them once before, but plan on making some more (and taking photos) for our New Year's Day football gathering.

Then just jump in and bake some Anadama Bread, which is the first recipe in the book. But first, please visit The BBA Challenge Page for more details on how to participate in the group!
If you haven't already, you might want to bookmark the BBA Challenge Page. From there you can see which breads are coming up soon, find answers to Frequently Asked Questions, visit and/or add yourself to our World Map, see the BBA Challenge Blogroll, and check out the continually updated slideshow of BBA Bread photos from our ever-expanding group of bakers!

I don't know if I've ever passed the window pane test… I don't have a mixer that can handle bread dough so I hand knead it…
Do you think the window pane test is essential to baking bread? Mine turns out pretty dang good without passing it…11:14 am Dec 30th, 2009
Beautiful Italian Loaves and beautiful photos! Makes me want to make these again. Yummy!11:27 am Dec 30th, 2009
Baking mine today for Slow and Steady BBA. Yours looks perfect. Hope mine turns out as well….12:03 pm Dec 30th, 2009
Those are gorgeous! How did you take that windowpane picture alone?!12:22 pm Dec 30th, 2009
Beautiful loaves!!!! I wish I had your scoring skills! Here's my post about the Italian bread, which I think was the BEST bread I've ever had: http://ap269.wordpress.com/2009/12/20/bba-challenge-15-italian-bread/1:04 pm Dec 30th, 2009
The bread looks fabulous. Thank for writing this. Wish I had some yeast in the fridge. I'd be in kitchen kneeding up a loaf (of some king) right now.I enjoyed your post very much.1:21 pm Dec 30th, 2009
Gorgeous! Your photos almost make me want to break my dependency on the bread machine. Almost 😀2:02 pm Dec 30th, 2009
This is one of my favorite breads from this book and I have made it several times. They are fabulous as torpedo rolls as shown in my post: http://tinyurl.com/ng6hwl3:24 pm Dec 30th, 2009
Your Italian bread looks perfect Nicole. This was one of my favorites too and I've also made it more than once already just because it does make such great sandwich bread. Thanks for including me in your links!4:24 pm Dec 30th, 2009
Excellent photos of the process! I haven't baked this one yet, but you've certainly motivated me to get into the kitchen!
Too funny about photographing the windowpane test by yourself. You must have an extra set of arms!5:17 pm Dec 30th, 2009
I can almost smell it! Actually, I am in Italy so this was a particularly fun read. I have found that the peasant bread—most of the bread—here is baked without salt. I actually ask 'con sale' when I want a fresh baked loaf to include salt. Interesting, huh? I am actually looking at my almost-finished-raising focaccia as we speak! I am trying to perfect it before I write a post;). Happy baking!4:01 am Dec 31st, 2009
Thank you for sharing! I always try to make bread, but I just can't get the hang of it. My loaves are hard as rocks. You make it look so easy- thanks for the great directions and pictures. How did you take some of these shots?
Mangia!5:53 am Dec 31st, 2009
I have bread making on my new year's resolution goals… starting in Feb., I will join the group and see what I can do.
luckily, i will have your old posts as resources… thanks for this group7:22 am Dec 31st, 2009
I must get back in the swing of the BBA Challenge. I made the first few breads and then our kitchen got too hot to cook in, then I just never picked the book back up. Thanks for the re-inspiration! Those loaves look divine.8:30 am Dec 31st, 2009
Happy New Year!
Great to see you back!
loved the windowpane shot, and your bread peel made me quite jealous… too bad Santa already stopped by this year 🙁
HAPPY NEW YEAR!9:56 am Dec 31st, 2009
Looks just wonderful, Nicole. Do you know what I might substitute instead of the Diastatic Malt Power. I know I can buy it online but with shipping, tis a "pretty" price for 16 oz of something I won't use often. I am taking a respite from BBA…gained too many lbs from eating good bread.10:22 am Dec 31st, 2009
I found the window pane test easy to achieve with white breads, but I can't seem to get it with whole wheat breads. I Just mixed his Whole wheat bread p. 271 dough for 20 minutes in my kitchen aid. No where close to the consistency it should be. Sticky and pulls apart right away. I added more flour during mixing to see if that would work. If you can't get to the window pane test consistency, what does that mean? too little flour, till little water. Wrong temperature?12:40 pm Jan 4th, 2010
I am so lazy about getting my dough to make a good windowpane… Yours looks fantastic. The Italian bread is one of my favorites. (I've made it several times.) For the challenge, I used my newly developed sourdough starter in the biga and it turned out great!8:49 pm Jan 18th, 2010
This was a very delicious bread! I made them into round dinner rolls:3:36 pm Mar 3rd, 2010
This recipe is a complete waste of time when you don't give the recipe for biga.6:39 pm Jul 24th, 2010
The place to get malt powder is at a store that caters to people who are brewing beer at home. I get a bag for $6.00 that lasts a year if I share it with my daughter. I use about a tablespoonful a week making pizza dough.3:41 pm Jul 18th, 2016

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
After AGALLOCH's "The Grey" EP in 2004, a lot of people (including myself) were concerned about the direction the band was going to take on its next release. "The Grey" took the Post-Rock elements found in a few tracks on "The Mantle" and extrapolated them in new directions a lot of fans weren't comfortable with. Well, "Ashes Against The Grain" came and we were happy to see it was indicative of a major direction came.
Well, two more years have come since the release of "Ashes Against The Grain" and we've got "The White" EP, which focuses considerably on AGALLOCH's Folky acoustic elements. I figure in between the next two albums we'll get "The Black" EP, which will focus on their Black Metal roots. Just a hunch.
"The White" is an album driven primarily by guitar and, on the two tracks where that's not present, keyboards. Haughm doesn't lend his vocals until the fourth track ("Pantheist") and there aren't even lyrics until "Birch White." The first two tracks are the strongest on the album, as "The Isle Of Summer" is remarkably catchy and "Birch Black" features some subversively innovative material that sounds like it should be played on a mandolin or Russian domra rather than an electric guitar. And yet it works well, possibly because the electric guitar is a rarity on the album, possibly because it's a fairly simple riff that sounds more complex than it is. "Pantheist" is the longest track on the album at 7:17, and has a fascinating story to tell if I could only figure out who was the protagonist and who the antagonist. "Birch White" sees an accordion in the background and I believe a mandolin hidden within acoustic guitar picking. "Hollow Stone" and "Summerisle Reprise" are both keyboard songs, the first a synthed ambient passage and the latter a piano introspection, while "Sowilo Rune" is the only track where piano and guitar meet.
"The White" is a mandatory purchase for fans of AGALLOCH and probably has a good deal of crossover appeal with the Neo-Folk community. As with all AGALLOCH albums, the music is fascinating and almost a narrative in itself. There's only one track that's really worth skipping ("Hollow Stone") and the rest are promising gateways into a world of natural wonder. This is AGALLOCH's nature worship done to an extreme, almost shutting out the human emotions that color their other works. This explains why the vocals, the most intimately human aspect, are kept to a minimum even by AGALLOCH's standards.
Oh yeah, the sound samples from the first and last two tracks are from the original The Wicker Man. Good movie, good choice of samples, even if I do disagree with the portrayal of Lord Summerisle it provides.

The pitch got away from catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who fired too late and caught Inge on the right ankle with a throw that ricocheted well down the first base line.
Inge took three bases after the third strike and scored on a Gerald Laird single for the go-ahead run in a 9-7 win Sunday night against the Chicago White Sox.
"It was a nasty slider and I'll tip my hat to him," Inge said. "But I heard everyone in the dugout saying, 'Go! Go! Go!' The throw hit me in the ankle and I got a quick read on it. The only thing on my mind was to get to third.
"I don't care how you win -- ugly, pretty -- it doesn't matter. We scratched and clawed."
The win was the 3,000th career game managed by Tigers skipper Jim Leyland.
"It's special, yeah," Leyland said. "I'm going to keep the lineup card. I'm going to keep this one. But it's about players, not managers."
His players came through to sweep the White Sox in a three-game series in which major league RBI leader Miguel Cabrera went 1-for-15 to continue his slump against them. Cabrera batted .152 against Chicago with only three of his 118 RBIs.
Still, he was all smiles as Laird approached his locker after the game. Cabrera nodded at him and they chuckled at the thought of a batter hitting .202 coming through in a game in which the MVP candidate did not.
TRACKING THE TIGERSSunday's game: Daniel Schlereth struck out Manny Ramirez with the bases loaded in the 11th inning to preserve a 9-7 win over the Chicago White Sox for his first major league save. Catcher Gerald Laird got a pair of go-ahead hits -- including the game-winner in the 11th.
Record: 75-74
Odd way to rally: Brandon Inge reached third base after a two-out strike out in the 11th. He took first on a wild pitch and made it to third on a wild throw by catcher A.J. Pierzynski. None of the Tigers could recall somebody reaching third on such a play.
Key stat: Detroit swept three games from Chicago by scoring 19 of its 23 runs after the sixth inning.
Next up: 7:05 p.m. Monday vs. Kansas City Royals (Rick Porcello vs. Zack Greinke), FSD.
Austin Jackson added an insurance run with a double that scored Brennan Boesch, who was intentionally walked before Laird delivered. Leyland said he didn't pinch-hit Alex Avila for Laird because Santos does significantly better against left-handed hitters.
It was a hard game to figure out.
Detroit had a four-run lead get away in a distressing ninth-inning melt-down, and survived a bases-loaded jam in the 11th.
Eddie Bonine gave up a single and a walk before Paul Konerko drilled a shot down the line that had White Sox fans thinking it was a walk-off homer for a few seconds. But it hooked just foul. Bonine recovered to strike him out on a called third strike fastball at the knees.
Daniel Schlereth came on to get the final two outs for his first major league save, but not before walking Carlos Quentin to load the bases.
Schlereth threw a curveball to Manny Ramirez for a called third strike and the final out in a game chocked full of drama. Schlereth got a beer shower from his teammates afterward.
Laird put an arm around him after the final out and they shouted at each other for joy.
"He was excited and so was I," Schlereth said. "I don't really know what happened. But the bottom line is we won and swept the White Sox."
Phil Coke, assuming the ninth-inning role with Jose Valverde out with elbow tendinitis, came into that inning with a four-run lead. But he was charged with all four runs that scored at that point to make it 7-7.
Coke gave up a lead-off double from Pierzynski before getting Quentin to fly out. But then he walked Ramirez and Brent Morel singled.
Pinch hitter Andruw Jones walked on four pitches and Juan Pierre singled. And suddenly it was a two-run game.
Detroit manager Jim Leyland had seen enough, and Robbie Weinhardt was summoned. He got Alexei Ramirez to hit a dribbler to shortstop that was too slow to turn a double play on, but did result in a force-out at second as a run scored.
The lead was down to one, and Weinhardt plunked Alex Rios with a 0-2 count. Then he threw a wild pitch allowing the tying run to score. Konerko walked to load the bases.
Pierzynski hit a high-hopper over the mound that looked to be trouble. But shortstop Johnny Peralta bare-handed the ball and easily got the final out.
The four-run lead Detroit took in the seventh inning was gone, but the game was not.
Casper Wells got the late-inning magic going by drilling a two-run homer to start a six-run rally in the seventh.
It scored nine times in the last three innings of Friday's 9-2 win, and three times in the eighth inning of Saturday's 6-3 victory. Eighteen of the 22 runs scored by the Tigers in this series came in the seventh or later.
Tigers starter Jeremy Bonderman left with two out in the sixth inning, having thrown a season-high 114 pitches, and Brad Thomas allowed Pierzynski to single in a run to make it a 3-1 game.
But White Sox starter John Danks came unraveled after Wells his hit third homer of his rookie season in the seventh. He walked Inge and Boesch beat out an infield single. Laird doubled to put the Tigers ahead, Jackson singled to score another, and Danks was lifted. Pinch-hitter Will Rhymes greeted J.J. Putz by doubling over left fielder Pierre to score the last two runs of the inning.
Chicago took a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a pair of unearned runs. Pierre reached on an error by second baseman Scott Sizemore, and singles by Alexei Ramirez and Rios got the rally in order.
Konerko hit a liner that third baseman Inge couldn't handle, but the result was a weird force-out at second that put runners on the corners.
Inge then made a circus catch of a foul ball hit by Pierzynski while crashing into the tarp. He quickly recovered to make a strong throw to the plate, but Ramirez tagged and just beat it. Inge later dived at the line and rose to throw out Pierre with a nice scoop by first baseman Cabrera.
Danks had a perfect game with one out in the fourth, but Sizemore abruptly broke it up with his second homer in as many games. Detroit would've scored a couple more that inning had right fielder Quentin not robbed Wells with a fine catch at the fence.
Reliever Ryan Perry retired all six batters he faced to get the lead to Coke in the ninth.
Detroit won the season's series from the White Sox, 10-8, and had not accomplished that since 2004.

Ratings are a measure of past performance only, which is why Magnus Carlsen at 2880 can lose to Teimour Radjabov at 2713, or why Anish Giri at 2750 can lose twice to Hou Yifan at 2629.
Given the opportunity most GMs above 2600 have a chance to beat other GMs much higher rated. Chess players are only as good as what they can do today, not what they did yesterday.
I think they should put Kasporov on the far side of the mountain
"Should've gone to Specsavers"
[COMMENT DELETED] Join my group, the chess studiers!
Hi Eeswar
She must be a good mountaineer too!,cos that's pretty steep!
This is so cruel... I love it!
Mr. Diaz, prepare to face the anger of the user Zepp/something ... ah ah ah ...
Nice one!
It seems to imply that Hou should leave the women's events, as she can scale no higher there. Probably some truth in that.
Nice Pic
Jose Diaz's Pics rock
The bigger mountain is the World Championship (I´m not writing "men´s WC" since it´s not a men´s tournament, it´s open for men and women).
Carlsen doesn´t appear in the picture because the distance between the peaks is too long.
Hou Yifan just won the the 5th stage of the Women Gran Prix series with a 2 points difference. She is rated 2629, that´s 248 points lower than Carlsen.
Who is the mountain behind Hou?Judit or Magnus?
What does the author want to say?
Why you didin't put carlsen on top of the bigger mountain?
I laughed..

In India, cases of retrenchment of employment are governed by the Industrial Disputes Act (IDA). The IDA has established a detailed set of requirements and provisions for retrenchment of workers.
According to Section 2 of the IDA, 'Retrenchment' primarily corresponds to terminations on the basis of the financial capacity of the employer and on similar economic grounds; except in cases of retirement, expiry of contract, ill health and dismissal.
Industrial Dispute Act: Legal Considerations for Retrenchment
Section 25F of the IDA states that an employer intending to retrench a worker, who has been employed with the company for over a year, is required to offer one month's notice to the worker before terminating employment. Besides, an employer may choose to monetarily compensate in lieu of such a notice and lay-off the worker immediately.
The provisions for retrenchment differ for industrial establishments with over 100 workers. In this case, the employer is mandated to give a three months' notice in writing or pay in lieu for the same. Additionally, the employer has to seek 'prior authorization' from a relevant governmental authority before carrying out the retrenchment.
The Supreme Court of India enforces the concept of prior authorization to ensure that the reasons for retrenchment are valid and in accordance with fair labor practices in India.
Laws Governing Dismissal for Misconduct
The Industrial Disputes Act explicitly distinguishes between retrenchment and dismissal on the grounds of misconduct. Some instances of misconduct that justify dismissal are:
- Disobedience or willful insubordination
- Dishonesty, theft or fraud
- Loss or willful damage of employer's property
- Habitual absence or lateness or absence
- Striking unlawfully
- Bribery

One more reason why I'll be adding D to my next blood work.
"Insulin resistance, whereby insufficient insulin is released to produce a normal glucose response from fat, muscle and liver cells, was significantly lower in women following high-dose vitamin D supplementation, according to results of a randomised, controlled, double-blind trial published in the British Journal of Nutrition."
One more reason why I'll be adding D to my next blood work.
Here is another link regarding controlling insulin resistance.
Nice articles, thanks for posting

Great articles, thanks! I'm getting blood work tomorrow and Vit D is in there!
Yes, I'm definitely going through menopause......
I had the Vit D test added to a blood panel but I won't find out for almost two weeks. Since I've been getting a lot of Florida sunshine this summer plus supps for two months, I sure expect to see a reasonable level.
A naturally cautious kinda guy - have you noticed? - I don't want to proclaim Vit D as the nutritional messiah, but a whole boat load of evidence is indicating that.

Voice: Charles Guoan, Bay City
Syndicated columnist Cal Thomas has more loose screws than an old Studebaker. He can wax on and on about the glory of war and the gun culture here in America, but when it comes to accepting the reality that men and women engage in sexual relationships without marriage, his sphincter muscle grows tighter than a drum.
An old moss-back conservative, he's ever ready to lay one of his Sunday school homilies upon us. We're no longer a democracy of diverse opinion. We're a stumbling tribe of nomadic herdsmen.
And not just because of illegitimate births or venereal disease does he disparage sex without marriage. Even those who survive the ordeal without marriage. Even those who survive the ordeal without dire consequence does he highly disapprove. He has to be the butt of jokes, even at Fox News TV.
He belongs in a section of those pathologically disturbed religious nutters. He and Allen Keyes would make a good pair to start with.
