Senators, Hillary Miss The Point at Hearing
During the entire farce of the Senate hearing on Benghazi, nobody mentioned the words video, film or movie. Or the word cover-up. It would be like covering a moon shot without mentioning the word space.
Reality to the Senate: The only reason for the hearing was to understand the decision to cover-up the Benghazi killings by pretending it was a demonstration gone awry. It was not to decide how to avoid these situations in the future or to ask about State Department procedures. We just re-elected a president who won, in part, by deliberately deceiving us about a terror attack on Sept. 11, 2012, the eleventh anniversary of the original attack. He pretended that the violence was connected to a video, and it was not. That is what these hearings should have been about.
Instead, they were about everything but.
It wasn't until Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) in the House hearing — after three hours of Capitol Hill testimony — that anyone even mentioned the film or the video. To his credit, Rohrabacher asked the question squarely and to her discredit, Hillary ducked it.
When Senator Jeff Flake and John McCain got closer to the issue of the cover-up — without addressing it directly — Hillary flared and asked, "What difference does it make?" It makes quite a difference. Tony Blair was forced out of office because he "sexed up" a memo about Saddam's WMD capabilities. If President Obama blamed the attack in Libya on a film, knowing that it was not a demonstration but a planned terrorist attack, and did so two months before an election, that is an impeachable offense. That's what difference it makes.
But, even within the foul lines of the softball questions she was asked, Hillary's replies were evasive.
Her best, which deserves a place in history, was, when asked if she knew of the twenty previous attacks in Benghazi she replied, "I was aware of those that were brought to my attention."
She said she was "not involved in the talking points" White House spokespeople used to describe the attack. But then she admitted her staff was. So she was involved.
She pleaded a lack of capability to stem the attack. But in an age of supersonic planes, drones and cruise missiles, can she really maintain that we had no military assets to bring to bear? The truth is that Obama wanted to keep our footprint in Libya light so as not to evoke their — and his own — dismal memories of European and Western colonialism with a robust military presence. It was political correctness, not a lack of military assets, which made it impossible to save our ambassador's life.
And then there was the phone that never rang. Pressed by Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin on why she didn't just call the men who returned from Benghazi to find out what happened, she claimed not to want to interfere with an ongoing investigation. Is there anyone who believes that? Isn't it more likely that she didn't want to know the truth so that she didn't have to embarrass her president by contradicting him?
Why didn't she talk with the Assessment Review Board investigating the episode? Because she had no knowledge of the security issues. It's not her affair! That's like a Secretary of Defense saying he didn't know about the military situation. She's Secretary of State. That's what her job is about.
President Obama got away with a massive cover-up pure and simple and his escape was evident in the pathetic questioning and evasive answers in the Hillary Clinton testimony.

In the last month Italy's new government has passed a bill that makes any transaction over 1000 euro illegal. They also said that they wanted to progressively lower that to around 300 euro.
Keep in mind that in Italy most people use cash to pay things such as rent, wedding ceremonies, moped purchases and you name it, cash is king in Italy, it's very unlike the united states where credit has been king for so long but now reverting back to cash gradually. Italy is saying the reason for such control of peoples money is to lesson the amount of tax evasion.
Not only are they making the above cash transactions illegal, but credit card companies in Italy now have to report to the government each and every credit transaction that happens. wow, horrendous oversight happening. Banks are no longer allowed to allow anyone to withdraw 10,000 euros. So imagine if you had a few hundred thousand euro in an Italian bank and you decided you wanted to cash out. Now this is not allowed. The story is not finished, Italy has also put cameras on the Swiss borders to see which Italians cross that border and each person that crosses is now subject to audit by the Italian government.
Is your money safe in any bank? Is it safe inside safe deposit boxes? Personally I do not think so. If the valuables become dormant in a safe deposit box, the bank regularly turns this money over to the unclaimed property division of the state. The state then turns around and sells this property, if coins or jewelry they sell it at much lower rates then what its worth, sometimes at face value and will give the claimant hell trying to get this money back, just look at the recent problems with Bank of America in California owing over 100 million dollars to people that had no idea there safe deposit boxes were emptied. The bank claims that they tried to contact the rightful owner but in reality does not make an attempt.
Is our money really safe anymore? Will there come a day where withdrawals become illegal like those in Europe?

Protect kids' eyes with new spray bottles
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – After a study found that common household spray bottles lead to thousands of injuries each year among children, researchers in The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital decided to take action to turn this medical observation into a practical solution.
"We realized that many of the injuries we found in our study could be prevented with a few simple design changes to spray bottles," said Lara McKenzie, PhD of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital. "We looked around and realized that there were no spray bottles on the market that would be both easy for adults to use and hard for children to get in to so we came up with our own design."
It's an idea that actually started back in 2010. McKenzie was leading a study looking into the number of children across the country who were injured by household cleaners. While compiling her data, McKenzie says she was both pleasantly surprised and deeply concerned.
The study found that between the years 1990 and 2006, overall injury rates in children caused by household cleaners plummeted by 46 percent -- with there was one glaring exception.
"We did see a huge decrease over that time period, which is the good news," said McKenzie. "However, the bad news was that spray bottle injuries stayed high and didn't decrease like household cleaners in other containers did." In fact, during the 17-year study period, spray bottles consistently accounted for about 40 percent of all injuries in children under the age of five.
Part of the problem with spray bottles is that they currently have a one trigger system that makes them not only tempting for small children to grab, but fairly easy for them to use. When they do, they can get into trouble quickly.
"Their hand strength and size is very different than an adult," said McKenzie, "so, to be able to manipulate the spray bottles, young children often have to point the bottle toward their faces and use their thumbs to press the trigger. Of course, that means they spray the product into their eyes or mouths and, depending on the chemicals inside the bottle, that can lead to some very serious injuries," she said.
Some spray bottles now have nozzles with on/off switches, but experts say adults often forget to turn them to the off position after use. Even if they do, many children are able to turn the nozzle to the "on" position and activate the trigger.
That's why McKenzie and her team set out to create something different. Working with the Department of Design and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The Ohio State University, they developed the two-trigger system. "It functions like a child-resistant lighter, in that two things need to be engaged for it to actually spray," said McKenzie, "and when you release those mechanisms, it reverts back to a locked position automatically."
The handle features the traditional trigger located just under the spray nozzle, but it also has a trigger on the back of the bottle that needs to be pushed in and held in order for the front trigger to work.
It may be several months before the new spray bottle design is on store shelves, but McKenzie says much of the hard work is done. "We've designed a prototype and filed a design and utility patent," she said. After successfully testing the design on a small group of children, "Nationwide Children's Hospital is now looking for a partner to license this technology and help us get it on the shelves and into people's homes."
When that happens McKenzie's work will have come full circle. She started out charting cases of children who were injured by household cleaners, and ended up helping to invent something that may someday prevent it.
"Our technology has the potential to prevent more than 6-thousand injuries each year," McKenzie said. "That's 18 injuries a day, which is roughly the same size as a pre-school classroom full of kids."

Plants & Animals
/ Greater Sage Grouse and Good Grazing Management
The wide open sagebrush plains in Montana constitute an important natural resource. Known as the sagebrush steppe, they are important lands for those who make a living from the land as well as for wildlife. The sagebrush steppe provides an important habitat for a diversity of plants and wildlife including big game, game birds, song birds, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians. When managed properly, these lands contribute to ranch forage production, water recharge, water quality, recreation and flourishing ranching communities.
The greater sage-grouse is one species that depends on this habitat throughout its life cycle. The following links provide more information on the relationships among sage-grouse, the sagebrush steppe, and human activities.
Technical and financial assistance available from NRCS can help landowners maintain diverse, productive, sustainable rangelands. Through NRCS's technical assistance and incentive-based programs ranchland operators are helped in the design and implementation of grazing management systems that have positive effects on forage production, water recharge, water quality, and wildlife such as the sage-grouse.

Shabbat No-Shows
Dear Miriam,
I host a lot of Shabbat dinners for friends, and for a few recent meals, I've had guests cancel on me at the last minute. I've already made all the food, sometimes even set the table, and then I get an email that for some reason or other they can't make it. A last minute email is better than having people just not show up, which I've also had happen, but I can't imagine ever doing something this rude to a friend who's invited me for dinner. How should I respond when this happens, and is there any way to communicate to people before a meal that when they accept, I really expect them to show up?
Shabbat No-Shows
Dear No-Shows,
I also host a lot of meals, and I think anyone who does has had this happen to them. I often host large-scale meals for grad students, many of whom I don't necessarily know personally. I've always speculated that they see the meal as an "event" rather than a dinner I'm preparing and hosting in my home, so perhaps they consider their attendance somewhat optional, not realizing that a certain amount of food has been prepared with them in mind.
However, even giving people a supreme benefit of the doubt, a personal invitation from a friend is hard to misinterpret. You're absolutely right that this is rude, and you're totally justified in being offended. There are a few questions you need to ask yourself before you decide how to respond: Is this an isolated incident, or a pattern? Do I value this person's friendship enough to overlook this behavior? Is this someone I trust enough to be honest about my feelings?
If this is an isolated incident, then you're best off trying to put it out of your head and move on. Invite them again in the future and hope that they'll confirm that this was, indeed, an isolated incident. If this is a pattern, then plan to see this friend at bigger events or meals at other people's homes, and don't issue personal dinner invitations any more. If it's someone whose friendship matters more than any particular experience, then even a pattern of bad behavior can sometimes be overlooked. If the person is more like an acquaintance, then at least you've learned more more about his/her character, and in the future, surround yourself with people whose social styles more closely match your own.
There's still the moment of reaction when guests tell you they're not going to show up, and you will benefit from a strategy to deal with that moment of disgust. If it's an email or text, you have the advantage of time and space, plus the person not being able to see your facial expression. Regardless of who the person is, say, "I'm sorry you can't make it, and hope to see you soon." If the guest tells you this on the phone or in person, do your best to remain neutral and try to say the same thing, even if your face shows that you feel otherwise. As rude as it is for someone to do this to you, you don't benefit from calling them out on it or being punitive. If someone doesn't show up at all, you can certainly hope there will be an email waiting for you after Shabbat with an explanation. If there isn't, send your own message that says, "We missed you on Friday, and I just wanted to check in and be sure everything is OK." Then, try to let it go, and concentrate on more reliable guests in the future.
Be well,

Packers decline to use franchise tag on Jennings
Packers could have offered $10.5 million contract
The Green Bay Packers have declined to use their franchise tag on Greg Jennings, meaning the star wide receiver will become an unrestricted free agent next week.
A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report said Jennings can negotiate with any team starting March 12. His agent can begin speaking with other teams as soon as Saturday, although no deal can be signed until the 12th.
Jennings ranks in the top 10 on the all-time Packers reception list. The Packers could have kept him out of free agency by applying their franchise tag to him by Monday afternoon, but then they would have had to offer him a one-year, $10.5 million contract.
The Packers can still pursue Jennings as a free agent, but that may depend on whether other teams show interest.

Am i the only one who doesn't know what the six tails is? If you do know, please enlighten me
its a gross slug
I think it's the slug, though I'm not so sure.
Not sure.
Good question, however.
its for the guy who uses bubble as his attacks if i recall his name is ....i realy forgot but he is in the anime
I would say a slug.
lol. It's a slug they just made it bipedal. Most likely so it doesn't resemble the slugs of Tsunade to much.
Are you talking kurama in sixtale mode or Saiken because if you arehere something about him (犀犬, Saiken), more commonly known as the Six-Tails (六尾, Rokubi), is a tailed beast sealed within Utakata of Kirigakure. It has been captured by Nagato in the anime, then extracted and sealed by Akatsuki. It was later resealed into a reincarnated Utakata during the Fourth Shinobi World War
Makes since, hard to tail with the tails but thanx peoples
Saiken resembles a large, white with a slight light blueish tint, bipedal slug with stubby arms and feet. It has two prominent optical tentacles (eyes) and hole-like openings as a mouth. Its entire body is covered in a slimy substance.

Hi, My name is Katie and I am sitting here so confused and broken hearted. My son is 17 months tomorrow and I am 14 weeks pregnant. I have weaned him down to two feedings a day about a month ago. I was going to drop a feeding a week after that but got suck with the 2 last nap to go to sleep nursing. The morning nap and the afternoon nap. He absolutely refuses to nap without nursing. We would lie on my bed and he would nurse to sleep. We used to nurse to sleep and dropped it fairly well. I am having no luck during the day. I tried to skip nursing in the morning the other day and he threw such a fit that after an hour of a tantrum I gave in. That is how my boy has discovered tantrums. He now is throwing tantrums over everything.
I love this boy but boy am I feeling challenged. I am a stay at home and my husband is home to due to a layoff. He is used to him being home now so there is not a feeling of change. I didn't want to go cold turkey but I don't believe he will let missing a nursing be an option. I am about 2 hours into a no nursing/nap morning and am afraid to nurse him again. In all honesty, he is with my husband now and calm for a moment. He has never cried so hard or for so long over anything before. I am embarrassed to say but I am afraid if I join them he will freak again. Can someone please tell me its OK, or suggestion or ...anything. I feel so lost and alone in this, let alone broken hearted.
Sorry for the dump but I believe in my heart of all hearts that I am not alone in this.

Microsoft Corp. has announced the availability of the Windows 8 consumer preview. This latest preview will be made available for download starting today and will enable millions of users worldwide to try the next-generation Windows 8 operating system.
"With Windows 8, we reimagined the different ways people interact with their PC and how to make everything feel like a natural extension of the device, whether using a Windows 8 tablet, laptop or all-in-one. The Windows 8 Consumer Preview brings a no-compromises approach to using your PC," said Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows and Windows Live Division at Microsoft.
The key new updates in the Windows 8 consumer preview includes refined user experience for touch, keyboard and mouse; improved performance, features, quality and reliability across all subsystems. Another key update is beta version of Windows Store, which is filled with a variety of new Metro style apps from both third-party developers and Microsoft (these apps are available to try and experience at no cost to users). The Windows 8 consumer preview offers seamless integration with the content people care about across their Windows Phone and Windows devices. Finally, Windows 8 CP sports Internet Explorer 10 platform preview 5.
At a special Windows CP event, Microsoft also showcased Windows 8 running on a wide range of new x86- and ARM-based reference hardware. This hardware will be available to select developers for trial and testing as previously announced.

Hierarchical capabilities enable a "divide-and-conquer" design and debug approach with incremental features to improve and fix specific parts of the design. The hierarchical design environment allows engineers and design teams to develop blocks in parallel on multiple servers, update and improve targeted parts of the design while preserving others that already work, synchronize and integrate changes and reuse design modules and IP more efficiently. Designers can export modules that are being improved as self-contained sub-projects that include everything needed to work on the block in isolation, including TCL scripts, synthesis files and reports. Incremental synthesis and incremental place-and-route (P&R) flows are available to update those portions of the design that have been modified, reducing both synthesis and P&R runtime by half or more.
To speed the turnaround time during the debug and modify phase of a multi-FPGA ASIC prototyping project, the hierarchical design features of Synplify can be applied in the context of a project managed by Synopsys' Certify software. After the partitioning phase when SoC design blocks are distributed across devices, each source-level partition (SLP) project can be further divided into multiple synthesis sub-projects that can be executed in parallel for faster turnaround time as subsections are debugged and modified.
Multiprocessing with Synplify Automatic Compile Points (ACP) technology performs automatic design partitioning of the design so that parallel synthesis of large designs can occur automatically and incrementally leveraging multi-processor systems. On very large designs, results show that 30% faster runtimes with no degradation in quality of results (QoR) are typical when using two-CPU multiprocessing and even more runtime savings are available with four CPU multiprocessing. When multiprocessing and ACP are used in conjunction with Synplify Premier software's fast synthesis mode, synthesis runtime can be improved by up to 10X.
Multiprocessing is also available for use with manually-created RTL partitions, called compile points, for block-based and incremental design flows. Compile points for each block are synthesized in parallel, affording additional runtime savings.
Multi-FPGA ASIC prototyping projects managed by Certify software also see improved synthesis throughput of each SLP project's output with ACP.
Continue-on-Error, a feature of the Synplify Premier software, reduces the number of iterations required to identify non-syntax related compiler issues. By reducing the number of iterations, CoE significantly shortens the overall time required to get the design successfully synthesized and a working implementation created on the board. CoE creates a consolidated report of the errors and generates an RTL view of the design with error modules highlighted to enable the user to quickly pinpoint design issues and erroneous modules. Users can then complete synthesis either by fixing all design issues or by manually black-boxing erroneous modules and then merging fixed modules back into the synthesized netlist eliminating numerous design iterations.
Applying CoE with the Certify tool it is especially useful during the design migration phase of a multi-FPGA prototype project where it is common that the prototype engineer implementing the design in an FPGA may not be familiar with the ASIC RTL code and the number of errors encountered during initial synthesis may be significant. CoE makes the import of potentially thousands of design files far more efficient by reducing the number of iterations through the HDL compiler.
Figure 1: Continue-on-Error feature means fewer synthesis iterations when introducing new RTL
Fast Synthesis AlgorithmsSynthesis tool performance and fast runtimes are critical when attempting to complete your design on schedule. The Synplify Premier tool leads the industry in fast synthesis runtimes, in the 2012.03 release delivering an additional 30% raw runtime improvement for Altera and Xilinx designs. In addition to these fast runtimes, Synplify Premier software offers users the option to run synthesis even faster, using a fast-mode switch that trades off some performance quality of results for 3x faster runtime. This mode can be used to quickly implement an initial implementation of the design or design prototype on the board so that system testing and system software development and porting can start.

To help make reporting of unclaimed property uniform for all holders and to protect owner information as it is being transmitted to us the State of Tennessee Unclaimed Property Division has the following requirements:
1. Your file must be submitted to us electronically.
2. Your file must be encrypted with Tennessee's required encryption method.
It is our desire to make your reporting of unclaimed property as easy and secure as possible. The below tabs are resources to help you create your file.
- NAUPA Reporting Software
- Third Party Reporting Software
- NAUPA File Layout and Specifications
- Encryption
NAUPA (National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators) has contracted with ETM (Eagle Technology Management) to create a holder reporting software that is free for companies to use and is compliant with the NAUPA file format and specifications. In addition this software incorporates Tennessee's required encryption requirement.
Click here to go to ETM's website and use this software.
To watch a video describing an overview of this software click here.
There are other various vendors that supply unclaimed property reporting software. The functionality and price (some offer a free version) of each one may differ slightly. To the best of our knowledge, each of them create a file that meets the NAUPA (National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators) format and specifications and includes Tennessee's required encryption (We suggest verifying this with the vendor). Below are links to each one:
ACS-Wagers – HRS Pro (Offers a free version)
Stone River – Tracker
Financial Software Innovations – FSI Track
Chesapeake – UPCS
NAUPA (National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators) has created a file layout and specifications that the majority of states, including Tennessee, have adopted. All reports sent to Tennessee must meet these specifications. If you're creating your own file or just want to review the NAUPA layout and specifications click here.
The State of Tennessee Unclaimed Property Division is equally concerned about the protection of the data that you send to us and any possible threat of this data being compromised. In order to protect this data the State of Tennessee Unclaimed Property Division has required all reports that are sent to us to be encrypted in our encryption method. This method protects the data not only in the delivery to the State of Tennessee Unclaimed Property Division, but all the way through loading of this data into our database. Therefore, in order for this process to work through all stages of the process it is required that you use our encryption method.
If you create your file using the NAUPA (National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators) endorsed reporting software by ETM then your file will be encrypted with our required format. In addition the majority of the other 3rd party reporting software vendors also encrypt your file with our required encryption method (We suggest verifying this with the vendor).
If you create your file by some other means (either internally or by a vendor that does not use our encryption method) we have contracted with a vendor ACS-Wagers to create a utility tool that you can download to encrypt your NAUPA file. If you need to download this utility to encrypt your NAUPA text file click here.

Hello everyone,
I wanted to share my relactation and re-latch story because I have talked to, read, and heard the stories of several mothers who have experienced one or several of the issues addressed here. According to studies, approximately 1 in 10 breastfeeding mothers struggle with an inadequate milk supply, which can mean harsh consequences for both the health of a baby and the emotional well-being of his or her mother. There are also so many mothers out there struggling to relactate and/or bring their babies back to the breast, or that don't even know that they can, and I hope that my story can help them even if only for the solace in knowing that it CAN BE DONE!
When I was pregnant with my now 6-month-old son, I worried tremendously about everything-in particularly feeding him, because I have many health problems including but not limited to fibromyalgia, that inhibit my energy, and cause me a great deal of pain and weakness in my day-to-day life. How could I possibly breastfeed a child? The thought of waking every couple hours in the little sleep I managed outside of my pre-existing insomnia sounded impossible. I have always held highly the belief that the health of a baby begins with the mother, and so, fearing that I was unable to breastfeed my child made me fall into the depths of despair. The fact that my mother (now passed away) was a La Leche League Leader who had breastfed me for two and a half years did not help to ease the pressure and guilt I was feeling. I thought I would surely let her down.
To make matters worse, I gave birth to Osrid Olov in a hospital where I received, to word things kindly, substandard care. I managed to give him his first couple of feeds from the breast before I was frightened out of nursing by the poorly informed staff. It was lucky that I had that first experience of bonding with him, cradling him in my arms and feeling his warm, tiny, shaking body relax as it filled with nourishment for the first time, his head so close to my heart. I couldn't imagine missing this love if I had never had it in my life.
After more negative experiences than I can count on my hands piled on in the care of this facility, that ranged from an (overstitched, at that) episiotomy performed against my will to my pleas for help to feed and change my crying baby through the night-still unable to stand from the epidural-that were ignored for several hours, they were topped off by the midwife who peeked her head inside the curtain and told me I was "not allowed" to breastfeed my baby and rushed me to decide between infant formulas I knew nothing about, without explaining to me what was happening or why things were the way they were. I was so shocked and upset when she returned and slapped a bottle of the ready-made F-word on my bedside table I didn't know what to make of things.
It was my medications (apparently) that were the problem. I have to take several medications for a number of things, such as my fibromyalgia and migraines, which I cannot function let alone fathom taking on the care of another human life without. One of them was "counter-indicated" which meant, according to the midwife, that I would be putting my son in danger if I continued to nurse him while taking them. What would I do? In defeat, I screwed on the plastic cap to the glass formula bottle and cried as I fed Osrid from this fake, cold breast.

Post-bonus exits hit Nomura
The co-head of the telecoms research team and the head of the autos research team are among a number of departures from Nomura's ranks in the past week, following the payment of annual bonuses at the Japanese bank.
Harald Hendrikse, head of the autos team, and Fred Boulan, co-head of the telecoms team, have both resigned in the past week, according to three people familiar with the moves. Boulan and Hendrikse did not return messages seeking comment.
Hendrikse, who joined last year from Citigroup, is due to join Morgan Stanley, the people said. Boulan, who joined Nomura in 2011 from Morgan Stanley, is set to join Bank of America Merrill Lynch, the people said.
A number of other junior analysts have left, according to three people familiar with the situation. The departures follow the payment of bonuses by Nomura last week, according to two of the people.
Departures following the payout of bonuses are not unusual, with hiring season typically getting underway in early spring once payments have landed in accounts. Nomura is unusual, however, in that it pays much later than its rivals, delaying the inevitable post-payout round of departures.
The moves are the latest in a busy hiring season in equity sales and trading, with the telecoms sector in particular proving a popular one.
Earlier this month, Financial News revealed that Canadian investment bank RBC Capital Markets had hired a team of telecoms analysts from Barclays, while Morgan Stanley hired Emmet Kelly, a former telecoms analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch then hired David Wright from Deutsche Bank to fill the gap left by Kelly.

Middlebrooks goes yard three times to lead Sox rout of JaysAP PHOTO
Boston Red Sox Will Middlebrooks celebrates with teammate Mike Napoli after hitting a two-run homer off Blue Jays pitcher R.A. Dickey Sunday in Toronto.
TORONTO Will Middlebrooks hit three home runs, two off NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, and the Boston Red Sox routed the Toronto Blue Jays 13-0 Sunday.
Middlebrooks went 4 for 5 with four RBIs. He hit a two-run shot to right in the first inning and a solo drive into the second deck in left in the fifth off Dickey. He connected again off Dave Bush with a leadoff longball to left in the seventh, the first three homer game of his career.
Mike Napoli added a two-run shot, and Jacoby Ellsbury and Daniel Nava also went deep as the Red Sox connected for six homers.
Dickey (0-2) allowed eight runs seven earned and 10 hits in 4 2-3 innings.
Red Sox left-hander Jon Lester (2-0) allowed five hits, all singles, in seven shutout innings.
DETROIT CC Sabathia pitched seven scoreless innings and Jayson Nix homered off Justin Verlander in the three-run second, lifting New York.
The Yankees (2-4) avoided a sweep and dropping to their worst six-game record since starting the 1989 season 1-7.
Sabathia (1-1) gave up four hits and three walks while striking out four in 114 pitches, bouncing back from a dreadful opening-day start.
Verlander (1-1) allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks.
BALTIMORE Aaron Hicks ended an 0-for-13 skid with a tiebreaking RBI single in a two-run seventh inning, rallying the Twins past the Orioles.
J.J. Hardy homered for the Orioles, who dropped the final two games of the weekend set. It was their first series loss to the Twins since July 2010.
Trailing 3-2, the Twins started their comeback when Jason Hammel (1-1) plunked Trevor Plouffe on the left elbow leading off the seventh.
Anthony Swarzak (1-0), activated from the disabled list before the game after missing time with broken ribs, pitched 1 1-3 innings of scoreless relief.
Glen Perkins pitched the ninth for his second save.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Mark Reynolds and Lonnie Chisenhall hit three-run homers off AL Cy Young Award winner David Price, Justin Masterson pitched seven strong inning and the Indians hammered the Rays. Reynolds homered twice. Carlos Santana had a career-high five hits, including a home run off Fernando Rodney and a pair of doubles. Michael Bourn also homered for the Indians.
Price (0-1) gave up eight runs, 10 hits and three walks in five innings. He had been 5-0 with a 1.64 ERA in six career starts against Cleveland.
Masterson (2-0) allowed two hits against a team thats often tagged him. He was 1-7 with a 7.74 ERA in his previous 13 games against Tampa Bay.
HOUSTON Brett Anderson struck out 10 more Houston batters and the Athletics backed him with three home runs for win and a three-game sweep of the Astros.
Coco Crisp homered for the third straight day, Jed Lowrie again connected against his former team and Chris Young homered in his hometown. The As sent Houston to its fifth straight loss.
Anderson (1-1) and the As bullpen combined for 14 strikeouts. The Astros 74 strikeouts through the first six games are the most in major league history since 1921, STATS said.
Lucas Harrell (0-2) yielded seven hits and eight runs in 4 1-3 innings.
CHICAGO Dayan Viciedo hit a solo home run with one out in the 10th inning Sunday, lifting the Chicago White Sox over the Mariners 4-3.
Viciedo hit the first game-ending homer of his career, connecting against Kameron Loe (1-1).
Alex Rios homered in his career-best third straight game and Adam Dunn also homered for Chicago.
Addison Reed (1-0) pitched a scoreless 10th.
SAN FRANCISCO Matt Cain became the first Giants pitcher to allow nine runs in an inning since 1902 when Matt Carpenter and the St. Louis Cardinals tagged him Sunday in a 14-3 romp over San Francisco.
The Cardinals chased Cain (0-1) while scoring nine times in the fourth inning. The last two runs came home on Carlos Beltrans single off reliever Jose Mijares.
According to research by the Elias Sports Bureau provided by the team, Cain was the first Giants pitcher to give up so many runs in a single inning since John Cronin on Sept. 27, 1902, in the second game of New Yorks doubleheader against Brooklyn.
Adam Wainwright (1-1) pitched seven innings, giving up two runs on seven hits for his first win since signing a rich new contract at the end of spring training.
ATLANTA Tim Hudson pitched six-plus strong innings and added an RBI and Ramiro Pena hit a two-run single to help the Braves beat the Cubs.
The three-game sweep ended a 5-1 homestand for Atlanta, which got a solo homer from Dan Uggla in the eighth off Hisanori Takahashi.
Hudson (1-0) allowed three hits, one run and two walks in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out seven while improving to 3-1 in seven career starts against the Cubs with a 3.12 ERA.
Jeff Samardzija (1-1) set a career high with 13 strikeouts, but gave up four hits, four runs and four walks in 5 2-3 innings.
NEW YORK Marlon Byrd grounded a two-run single just inside third base in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Mets a victory over the Marlins.
Daniel Murphy homered and Anthony Recker had a run-scoring double for the Mets, who spoiled an impressive major league debut by prized Miami pitching prospect Jose Fernandez.
Justin Ruggiano, Chris Valaika and Donovan Solano (three hits) each had an RBI double off substitute starter Aaron Laffey to give the Marlins an early 3-0 cushion. But closer Steve Cishek (0-1) was unable to hold a one-run lead in the ninth, and Miami dropped to 1-5 heading into its home opener Monday night against Atlanta.
The 20-year-old Fernandez, who had never been above Class A, gave up one run and three hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out eight, a record for a Marlins pitcher in his major league debut.
Scott Rice (1-0) worked a scoreless ninth for his first big league win after 14 seasons in the minors.
MILWAUKEE Pinch-hitter Eric Hinske belted a long two-run homer in the 11th inning and the Diamondbacks beat the Brewers to complete a three-game series sweep.
With Cliff Pennington aboard following a leadoff double, Hinske drove a 1-2 pitch from John Axford (0-1) onto the concourse beyond the wall in center field. Hinske raised his right arm as he rounded second with his eighth career pinch-hit homer.
Tony Sipp (1-0) struck out two in a perfect 10th inning and Heath Bell held on for his first save after J.J. Putz blew an opportunity in the ninth.
DENVER Dexter Fowler hit an early two-run homer and Jhoulys Chacin pitched effectively into the seventh inning, helping the Rockies to their first sweep of the Padres at Coors Field in 10 years.
Wilin Rosario broke open a tight game with a three-run homer in the seventh as the Rockies improved to 5-1, their best start since 1995 when the Blake Street Bombers began 7-1.
Chacin (1-0) turned in another efficient performance as he allowed one run before being pulled with two outs in the seventh.
Edinson Volquez (0-2) settled down after a shaky first inning in which he allowed three runs, including Fowlers fourth homer of the season. Volquez lasted six innings, giving up four runs and nine hits.
LOS ANGELES Hyun-Jin Ryu earned his first major league victory, shrugging off a two-run homer in the first inning by Andrew McCutchen and pitching the Dodgers past the Pirates for a three-game sweep.
Adrian Gonzalez drove in four runs with three hits and Justin Sellers homered for the Dodgers.
Ryu (1-1) allowed two runs and three hits in 6 1-3 innings, striking out six and walking two.
Jeff Locke (0-1) lost in his season debut, giving up four runs and eight hits over six innings.
PHILADELPHIA Billy Butler hit a grand slam that needed video review for confirmation and tied a Royals franchise record with seven RBIs, and Kansas City held on for a win over the Phillies.
Butlers fifth-inning homer, the first slam of his career and the first ever allowed by Philadelphia left-hander Cole Hamels, put Kansas City ahead 6-4.
James Shields (1-1), acquired in an offseason trade with Tampa Bay, earned his first victory as a Royal. The right-hander gave up hits to five of the first six batters in a four-run first inning, but settled down to blank the Phillies for the next five innings on five hits while striking out eight and walking none.
Butler came through with the bases loaded again in the sixth, hitting a two-run single off Chad Durbin.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series.

A bride in Tennessee is taking heat for attaching her baby to the train of her wedding gown and dragging her down the aisle.
That's right.
Shona Carter-Brooks said the infant was "awake and well-secured" and that she was "covered by Christ," KSDK-TV reported.
Carter-Brooks gave birth to the girl, Aubrey, just a month before she wed Jonathan Brooks in Ripley, Tennessee.
Many online commenters have panned the decision, with some saying the baby should be placed in child protection services.
Here's the full Facebook post from Carter-Brooks defending her decision:
"People questioning what we do, commenting all negative, and just doing the most. We good though we covered by the Blood which never loose its power. So to the media, radio, news, and whomever else wanting to talk about what WE do here you go: Media Media I see how it works regardless the situation or purpose people gone have something negative to say! The answer is we do what we want when we want long as Jesus on our side everything worked out fine and gone continue to be fine. Our 1 month old was awake and well secured on my train. Most important while yall got ya feelings in us we had our hearts in Christ which covers all!! So keep ya mouths running for it was just that Exclusive and Epic enough we made top blog way from small town Ripley, TN and the social media doing what they do, TALK!!!!"

Canadian baritone Joshua Hopkins has captured the attention of critics worldwide for both his voice and dramatic ability. He has performed across North America and Europe to captivated audiences, and will soon be singing on the Four Seasons Centre stage in our upcoming production of The Barber of Seville!
What he's doing with us: Josh will be performing the iconic role of Figaro in Els Comediants' hilarious production of Rossini's The Barber of Seville with us this spring. He has previously sung as the world's most famous barber with both Vancouver Opera and Lyric Opera of Kansas City, to much critical acclaim!
Where you might have seen him: So far this season Josh has made his Lyric Opera of Chicago debut as Tadeusz in The Passenger, sung as Count Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro with Glyndebourne Festival, Dallas Opera and with the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon. In concert, he has performed with Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra as Dr. Pangloss in Bernstein's Candide and has appeared in recital with the Collaborative Arts Institute of Chicago.
Past seasons include performances as Marcello in a new production of La Bohème at the COC and as Schaunard in a revival of the popular Franco Zeffirelli production of the same opera at Metropolitan Opera. In the 2013/2014 season Josh made international debuts at Oper Frankfurt as Guglielmo in Così fan tutte and at Washington National Opera as Papageno in The Magic Flute. Other roles that season included a return to Glyndebourne as Argante in Handel's Rinaldo.
Future seasons will see the baritone's return to Lyric Opera of Chicago, Washington National Opera, Santa Fe Opera, and Houston Grand Opera.
What the critics have said:
"…one element of the endeavour transcends even this overall consistent standard – the quality and lithe exuberance of baritone Joshua Hopkins' Figaro. Vancouver audiences have enjoyed Hopkins as a lieder singer who combines an innately appealing instrument with musical sensitivity and precision. Here he delivers a stunning interpretation of Figaro, rooted in his physical sense of the character. He has the tone, the timing, and the confidence to make it appear effortless fun; from quicksilver recitatives to solo work and ensembles, Hopkins is the focus of the production. And he couldn't be better."
-The Vancouver Sun (reviewing the Vancouver Opera production of Il barbiere di Siviglia)
"As for the muckraking Figaro, Hopkins played him as a delightfully flamboyant and unapologetically pompous charmer, with a physical presence approximating something between Will Ferrell and Liberace. His entrance had him madly cutting off mullets, dying hair, and powdering noses with hilarious speed—all the while nailing the vocal theatrics of the "Largo al factotum" aria."
-The Georgia Straight (reviewing the Vancouver Opera production of Il barbiere di Siviglia)
"Joshua Hopkins was perfect – conversational and believable – as the lovestruck painter Marcello…"
-The Globe and Mail (reviewing the Canadian Opera Company production of La Bohème)
"To my ears, particularly impressive was the warm and gorgeous baritone of Joshua Hopkins, who is now deservedly at the Met."
-La Scena Musicale (reviewing the Canadian Opera Company production of La Bohème)
"The versatile Canadian baritone Joshua Hopkins is a standout Schaunard, singing with robust sound and flair."
-The New York Times (reviewing the The Metropolitan Opera production of La Bohème)

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our Principal Horn player, Joan Watson, on Thursday, March 12. Joan was a mainstay of the COC Orchestra for over 20 years, bringing her immense talent and indomitable spirit not only to the orchestra, but to the company as a whole. Her fortitude and strength was visible to the very end, even playing the first rehearsal for the company's performances at the Brooklyn Academy of Music earlier this month. Unfortunately, she was unable to participate in the tour. All of us at the COC offer our condolences to her husband, COC tuba player Scott Irvine, her family, and her many friends and colleagues. She will be greatly missed.
"Joan's sudden passing is a great shock and loss for all of us. It is hard to imagine, that she won't be sitting in the Principal Horn chair any more - a chair she gave special distinction and authority to. She was a great force full of energy. Her passion for everything she was doing was exemplary. Interested in passing on her vast experience to the next generations, made her a highly estimated mentor and motivator for so many young musicians. It was her idea to bring our own COC Orchestra Academy into being. Until the very end of her life she was working on that project committedly. We hope that this project will further grow and blossom, giving us all an opportunity to keep her memory alive." — Johannes Debus, COC Music Director

It's very hard to say, 'Don't fish for five years and then they'll come back.' So we knew the fish communities weren't in great shape, but the corals were spectacular.

In all, 27 teams and 350 participants helped raise $26,921.13 for the American Cancer Society during the night of April 26.
By Thursday, that amount had climbed to $34,606.
Normagrace Flores, who helped coordinate this year's Relay for Life, said that she considered it a success.
"Everyone had a great time, even in the early morning," she said.
While walking is the core of the event, it is the games and entertainment that keep so many people on the field from 7 p.m. Friday until 7 a.m. Saturday.
"This year, we added new activities and events like the 'Bras For A Cure' fashion show and auction. The bra silent auction brought in $331," she said.
"We also added Bingo and Loteria, which turned out to be a hit with participants and visitors.
"It was 4:30 a.m., and people were still laughing and playing Loteria, which is what we wanted."
She added that this year they also made a change to the traditional luminaria ceremony.
"This year, we were lucky to have the employees of the Beeville Institutional Parole Office sponsor the ceremony," she said. "The office donated 600 LED tea lights, which replaced the regular candles used in previous years.
"We were also lucky to have guest speaker Tammy Sharp of Dickinson, who is a Hero of Hope for the American Cancer Society."
Tammy Sharp became involved with Relay For Life after her daughter, Kelly, was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma a week before her 13th birthday in 2001.
Today, Tammy continues to lead people to the American Cancer Society by sharing her daughter's story.
"Every time I am able to tell Kelly's story, I am honoring my promise to her that she would not be forgotten," says Tammy. "Each year I hear her name called out during the Luminaria Ceremony, she is remembered. I Relay so Kelly is not forgotten — to continue her fight and to do what I can to help others not to have to hear the words, 'Your child has cancer.'"
Flores said that of the 27 registered teams, one raised $5,000, another raised $4,000, a third raised $3,000 and eight teams raised between $1,000 and $1,800. She added that top individual fundraisers include: Arturo Contreras and Marcos Garza raising more than $2,000 each and two participants raising more than $1,000 each.
Flores described the event as bittersweet for her.
While it was a success, it was also her last year as chairman.
"I hope whoever takes over next year will remember what we did and take it to the next level."

- Effect of rapid curing doped epoxy adhesive between two polycarbonate substrates on the bond tensile strength
- Author(s)
- Soesatyo, Bambang; Blicblau, Aaron; Siores, Elias
- Abstract
- The aim of this work was to determine the bond tensile strength of a polycarbonate sandwich joined with a fast cured epoxy adhesive. A 6.5 kW single mode microwave unit operating at 2.5 GHz was used to fast cure the epoxy adhesive. The samples of polycarbonate were prepared in accordance with ASTM D2095-72 (modified) and glued with a two-part epoxy adhesive mix employing a doping agent for rapid cure in the microwave unit. Two operational parameters, cure time, microwave power and one processing parameter, dopant concentration, were varied to determine their effect on the resulting bond strength. These rapidly-cured samples were then tensile tested to determine the joint strength as a function of the operational and processing parameters. The fracture surfaces of the adhesively joined polycarbonate samples were examined using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. A polariscope was employed to determine the variation in stress in the adhesive joint. Conventional curing of epoxy adhesive polycarbonate sandwiches was also undertaken. The tensile strength of these conventionally-cured bonded samples were then compared to that of fast cure using microwave. Results of the processing and testing program indicate the effect of dopant concentration, curing time and microwave absorbed power on the resulting mechanical strength of the adhesively bonded joint.

My Family History Update 3
Note: I published this yesterday but I accidently deleted it.
Since my last post in late January I haven't done any work on my family history. I have been too busy with my day job and then the weekend comes and all I want to do is 'nothing'.
I am finally going to have a couple of days off, in two weeks, so my plan is to go out to the NSW State Records office at Kingswood to do some research on one of these days. I'm particularly interested to see if I can track down some information on Samuel Baker (convict – arrived 'England' 1835), as well as some other bits for other ancestors, which next week, I'll start to look at so that I have an actual plan and see if I need be order the documents ready for viewing before I go. The last time I visited the records office was in September & October 2009.
I have though been reading some blogs. I have RSS reader on my iPhone and do check what new posts have been made throughout the day.If I have read an interesting one then I copy it over to Evernote and eventually I'll be able to go back to it, to have a proper read, especially if the post is something I am interested in, such as UK or Ireland research tips or links.
Yesterday, I registered to do the 'English Parish Records' via National Institute of Genealogical Studies commencing on the 4th April and it goes for 8 weeks. I'm also registered to do the Social Media for Genealogists, which also starts on the 4th April, which goes for 5 weeks. The social media one is free, though it does have a compulsory book that you need to order for US$18.95.
I'll let you know what I think of both courses, especially the English Parish Registers one, as I did start the three (3) week course that was recently run by Pharos Tutors on 'All About Parish Registers'. I'll leave my thoughts on that until later when I compare the two courses.
I also have received a reply finally from the Suffolk Records Office on buying the microfiche for Boxford & Bures St Mary for my One Place Studies. I would still like to transcribe the parish registers,but I still need to obtain permission to publish the data to my Boxford Suffolk OPS which I'm yet to do. I also need to track down a cheap microfiche reader, as I'd rather be at home transcribing instead of having to go to the library. It would be easier at home also, as then I can transcribe directly from the fiche to the PC. So for now, I'll be concentrating on the census records for both parishes and I'll look at purchasing the registers at a later date. For anyone interested, there is also a One Place Studies Index which came live late last year and is regularly being updated, One Place Studies Index
Thats it for now..

Thank goodness your post has reappeared! I tried to find it from link in my RSS feed last night and it had disappeared.
Good luck with your trip to State Records where the staff are incredibly helpful.
Look forward to hearing news of your visit.

Freedom Newspapers
A harsh light will be shined on underage drinking at two town hall meetings scheduled this week for Portales and Clovis.
The meetings will examine the extent of underage drinking in the area and address ways to prevent it, said Terry Teti, a consultant with Community Resources in Portales.
According to the 2004 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, there were nearly 11 million underage alcohol users between the ages of 12 and 20.
Clovis High School student Laura Pyeatt, 17, said drinking among her peers is prevalent, and alcohol use among her peers skyrocketed around age 16.
"I know a lot of kids that do drink, especially once they start driving. Then, they go to parties on the weekends," she said.
Pyeatt, who indicated she doesn't drink, said students involved in extracurricular activities are much less likely to turn to drinking for socialization and entertainment. "I'm sure (underage drinking) will happen, no matter what," she said. "But being involved in extracurricular activities really helps."
Teti, who will give a presentation at the Portales meeting and attend the Clovis meeting, said parents of teenagers who attend either of the meetings could be in for a shock.
"More young kids are drinking than parents know about," Teti said. "The meetings will show parents what signs to look for."
Teti said she has been working on alcohol control issues for more than 20 years. She said what is scary about teen drinking these days is that the age at which teens start drinking is becoming lower at a faster rate.
"Kids are starting drinking in the fifth and sixth grade," Teti said. "We know of young girls in the area who have contracted STDs (sexually-transmitted diseases) after consumption of alcohol. Studies show that underage drinking can lead to more dangerous activity like drug use and sexual activity."
Teti said even worse is the fact that children in fifth and sixth grades can receive irreparable brain damage from alcohol.
"Their thinking and reasoning capacity are diminished. They will not remember material as well," Teti said. "One of the films that will be shown at the meeting will show how the brain chemistry of a 12-year-old is affected by alcohol."
One way to reach youth is to openly discuss the effects of alcohol with them, according to Teti.
"If a teen comes home and says he or she was at a party and had a drink, the parent shouldn't come down hard on the teen," Teti said. "You should not openly condemn the child. You need to calmly discuss the issue and the effect alcohol has on the child."
County health representatives from Roosevelt and Curry counties will also attend the meetings and make presentations, Teti said.
Teti said parents will come away from the meetings armed with the facts that might be able to persuade their children not to take the next drink.
The town hall meetings are part of a nationwide campaign sponsored by the Federal Interagency Coordinating Committee for the Prevention of Underage Drinking in partnership with state and local agencies and organizations.
Underage Drinking Prevention Town Hall Meeting:
• Clovis: 6 p.m. Tuesday, Clovis-Carver Public Library (North Annex)
• Portales: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Memorial Building Auditorium
