MOMBASA, Kenya — Raiders killed villagers and burnt homes in an early morning attack in Kenya's volatile coastal Tana Delta region that left 28 people dead, police said Friday.
They said the raid appeared to have been a revenge attack following clashes between farmers from the Pokomo tribe and semi-nomadic Orma tribesmen.
They have fought for years over access to grazing, farmland and water in the coastal region.
Masked 'goons' kill at least 17 in attacks on churches in Kenya
More than 100 people died in a series of attacks in the area earlier this year.
Robert Kitur, Coast Region deputy police chief, told reporters that the villagers seemed to have been ready for the attack.
"About 150 Pokomo raiders attacked Kipao village, which is inhabited by the Ormas early Friday, but the Ormas appeared to have been aware and were prepared," he said.
"A confrontation ensued and as result 19 Ormas and 9 Pokomos were killed," he added.

BSC School of Business Student Earns Elite Ranking in International Business Simulation Competition (w/photo)
CreatedWednesday, April 29 2009
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
(Bluefield)—" A Bluefield State College student finished among the upper 7% of all competing teams during the recent Spring "Capstone Challenge," a global online business simulation competition undertaken this year by more than 940 graduate and undergraduate student teams worldwide. Competing as an individual against multiple student teams from throughout the world, BSC student Bob Brown finished 57th overall. His finishing position ranked ahead of all 36 teams from West Virginia University, and he placed higher than any other entering team from the entire state.
Brown, who is also the Assistant Director of Human Resources at Flowers Bakery, enjoyed the experience. "I liked the competition…measuring myself against others," he said. "The Capstone Challenge drew upon everything I've learned in my pursuit of a degree in management and marketing. I was able to develop an expanded spread sheet that helped in the tracking processes of the business simulation. As a result, I could expedite some decisions and make projections that really helped throughout the competition."
"Bob's success came against a field that included teams comprised of graduate students as well as undergraduate students from large universities," noted Dr. Steve Bourne, BSC Professor of Business. "His score surpassed that of teams from the University of Indiana, Vanderbilt University, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of
Wisconsin, to name a few."
In Dr. Bourne's "Business Strategy" course, BSC students take part in the simulation "Capstone," the most widely used business training simulation in the world. "The experience is a 'hands on' exercise, where students make business decisions in situations that are very similar to those they will make in a 'real world' setting," Bourne explained. "Students develop a business strategy and make adjustments throughout the simulated challenge. They apply much of the knowledge acquired in other business courses, thus the exercise is an excellent measure of a student's ability to integrate business concepts."
Although Dr. Bourne's "Business Strategy" students aren't required to take part in the "Capstone Challenge" tournament, they can earn extra credit for quality performance in the event. "This tournament enables our students to measure themselves against other students from around the world," he continued. In Bobby's case, he chose to compete as an individual, which makes his accomplishment all the more impressive.
"The Capstone Challenge provides an action learning device that is enabling students at all professional levels to learn in a risk-free environment," said Dan Smith, president of Management Simulations, Inc. and adjunct professor at DePaul University, Chicago. "The global competition teaches important and complicated business principles that result in better-prepared and more-skilled students."
Brown, a North Tazewell, VA resident, will be a magna cum laude baccalaureate graduate in May.

Davis Memorial Hospital celebrating women's health
On Saturday, Oct. 12, Davis Memorial Hospital will host a Well Woman Screening, providing a number of free and discounted preventative health tests geared just to women. In addition, another unique event for women who are pregnant or planning to get pregnant is scheduled for the same day at Women's HealthCare. This event, called Baby Day, will take place from 1-3 p.m.
This year's screenings will be held at two different locations on the DMH campus in Elkins. Discounted blood tests will be held in the outpatient lab area on the first floor of Davis Memorial Hospital. Tests will be offered from 7-9:30 a.m. and appointments may be made by calling 304-637-3861.
Free pap tests and clinical breast exams will be provided at the office of Women's HealthCare at 801 Gorman Ave. from 7:30 until 11 a.m. Pap tests are for women who have not had a pap test in the last 12 months and who have not had a hysterectomy. Appointments must be made ahead by calling 304-637-3185.
"It's very important that women make time for these life-saving screenings," said Anne Banfield, M.D., and director of Women's Health Services at DMH. "Oftentimes women coordinate the care of their children and families but neglect their own needs. Well Woman Day is an opportunity for them to have a number of valuable tests performed at one time."
The Women's Health Blood Profile is $30 and includes a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel and lipid levels (HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides). Additional blood tests available that day include thyroid ($5); Hemoglobin A1C, ($25); C-Reactive protein inflammatory, ($15); C-Reactive protein cardiac, ($15); blood typing with RH factor, ($15); Vitamin B12, folate and iron ($20); and Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy, ($45).
Overnight fasting is required for accurate results. Test results will be sent to the individual's home.
Guests can have a free blood pressure check at either location.
As part of DMH's recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is celebrated throughout October, guests can expect to find plenty of information at the event about breast health, including the digital mammography services available at DMH. These services are accredited by the American College of Radiology, which represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety, and is awarded only to facilities meeting the ACR Practice Guidelines and Technical Standards.
Baby Day will feature information and helpful resources for women and families who are expecting. This includes the chance to speak with OB/GYN physicians, patient educators and other medical practitioners about a variety of topics relating to having babies. Families will also have the opportunity to tour the Family Birthing Center of Davis Memorial Hospital. For more information about either of these Women's events, call 304-637-3139, or visit www.davishealthsystem.org or www.facebook.com/dhswv.

Steam train renovation project on slow track
ELKINS – Plans to restore a steam locomotive to be used as a tourism train are still chugging along, but not as quickly as officials would like.
Randolph County Development Authority Executive Director Robbie Morris told The Inter-Mountain that the steam locomotive renovation project is currently in its third phase.
"We are working with the West Virginia Railroad Museum to help get money from the West Virginia Department of Transportation Enhancement Program to get the steam engine restored and working," Morris said.
Some aspects of the project have turned out to be more expensive than expected, however.
During this month's Randolph County Development Authority meeting, members voted unanimously to act on a recommendation made by Morris and reject a bid received from Sistersville Tank Works for $416,295.
Morris said the bid was for repairs on the boiler.
"You may remember we put the steam locomotive out to bid," Morris told chamber members on Dec. 9. "Bids were due Nov. 15 and we had a pre-bid meeting on Nov. 1. There were two potential bidders at the meeting; however, only one put in a bid."
Morris told members the monies currently available for the project were just shy of $175,000. He recommended board members reject the bid due to lack of funding.
Morris told The Inter-Mountain he is working with the Department of Highways, West Virginia Railroad Museum and Sistersville Tank Works to come up with a plan to re-bid the project out so the bids will come in closer to the funding available.
"Unfortunately, this bid exceeded the amount of funding we have available for the repairs at this point," he said.
The next course of action could include two steps – tailoring the scope of work on this phase to include only what can be afforded with the funds available, or work to secure more funds, Morris said.
Once the steam locomotive is restored, it will be used to enhance tourism, but a decision about exactly where the train will travel has not yet been decided, Morris said.

Yesterday I woke up at 5:50 a.m. At 6:20 I had already dragged myself in front of the computer, still in my flip flops and pyjama pants.
And while I was writing one email after another to people that had been awake for hours, for the first time I asked myself a question: does technology influence the way we dress?
At first I thought: no. But maybe I was too hasty.
If it influences the way we behave, how we manage our time, the way we express ourselves and, without a doubt, our privacy, how is it possible that it doesn't also affect the way we dress? Of course, technology unifies different styles, in the sense that everyone looks more and more like each other, more and more quickly.
But does getting a call from some kind of smart phone make a person choose a certain bag or a specific pair of shoes? And does shooting a video on youtube push you more towards a t-shirt or a suit? (I'd say a t-shirt , but since I don't have any scientific data to back it up, I won't bet on it).
I know a hypertechnologically connected woman who takes her hi-tech instrumentation around in her Chanel bag. Her best friend (not only on Facebook) travels in a wad of felt. Sure, I also know technologically clumsy women divinely dressed and ground-breaking nerds, nerdishly dressed.
But the doubt still remains: if technology is powerful enough to influence world lifestyles, styles of writing and figures of speech, why do I always wear the same stuff even though I twitter and blog?
Do you have any clue?

I'm worried about my friend's baby. She has 3 children and has successfully breastfed the first 2 for a year and she is currently bf her 4 month old. The problem is the baby was 7 lbs at birth and now is only 11 1/2 lbs. It seems like she is not gaining enough. I don't want to say anything since she has no worries and thinks she is doing just fine.
My situation: I have 2 boys and the first was a real challenge to bf. We were going to a local bf support group at my hospital almost weekly where I would weigh him regularly. There were weeks when he wouldn't gain any weight and out of concern I supplemented with formula and eventually weaned him early at 4 1/2 months. My second baby has been very easy to nurse from day 1. However, I've always felt I don't store much milk and he nursed very often (every 1 1/2 hours) until he was on 3 meals of solids a day. He's currently 9 months and weighs 21 lbs.
My friend swears she has an oversupply. She works part-time and pumps usuallly 6 ounces each time (not sure how often she pumps). I can never get more than 3-4 ounces, even after going 3 hours. She also has the baby on an every 3 hour schedule. My thinking is that my son is so big because he nurses often and gets a lot of hind milk since I don't store a lot of foremilk. I believe the opposite is true of my friend. I think this tiny baby is getting mostly foremilk and that is the reason for her slow weight gain. If she just nursed on one side, would this help? Not sure it is my place to say anything, but it seems like her pedi might.

The medicines used to treat HIV can suppress but cannot kill all the virus in the body. A small amount of virus remains at low levels in the part of the blood called the plasma. It is of crucial importance to identify the source of the residual virus in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the source of low level plasma virus is from latent (old) infection or ongoing (new) infection. MK-0518 is a investigational drug, which means that is not yet FDA approved, that works in a different way to other anti-HIV medicines to help kill the virus. We hypothesize that addition of MK-0518 to a stable anti-HIV regimen will reduce the viral load further in patients with undetectable plasma virus.

Intervention Details:Detailed Description:
Drug: Raltegravir (MK-0518)
Raltegravir 400mg PO every 12 hours for 28 days in addition to the prescribed antiretroviral therapy
Other Name: MK-0518
This is a non-randomized, non-comparative, single center trial of antiretroviral therapy intensification using the investigational integrase inhibitor MK-0518 and an investigational viral load assay to measure response to additional antiviral therapy. Eighteen patients will receive open-label MK-0518 400 mg P.O. every 12 hours for 28 days in addition to their prescribed antiretroviral therapy. Patients will take their doses of MK-0518 without regard to food. The study will enroll patients on antiretroviral therapy regimens with CD4 counts greater than 200 cells/ul, HIV-1 RNA levels <50 copies RNA/ml plasma using a commercial assay(conventional Amplicor) and with detectable plasma virus (viral loads ≥ 1 copies RNA/ml plasma, SCA assay). Acceptable antiretroviral regimens will include those on NRTIs + PI, NRTIs + NNRTI + PI, or NRTIs + NNRTI-containing regimens. Patients cannot have prior evidence of resistance to antiretroviral drugs. Patients will be screened for intensification by history, physical exam, and laboratory evaluations (see below). Patients who are eligible and who agree to participate will intensify their antiretroviral therapy for 28 days with MK-0518 400 mg by mouth twice a day. During the 28- day drug addition, patients will have samples drawn for SCA assay at entry and on days 7, 14, 21, and 28 (+/- 1 d), with the last day of intensification as day 28. Patients will have additional phlebotomy after intensification on days 29, 30, 35, 42, 49 and 58 (+/- 1 day). The intensification period is followed by a post- intensification period to determine whether removal of the drug resulted in viral RNA changes.

Steinberg has been fairly quiet on the product launch front recently – in fact, it seems to have been focusing more of its attention on discontinuing software than releasing it – but we hear that there will be some new stuff from the German developer at the 2008 Frankfurt Musikmesse.
The company has arranged a press conference at 10am on March 12 - the first day of this massive trade show – and is saying that it will be unveiling several "completely new products".
We're assuming that this means we can expect something rather more than an update to Cubase 4 (though it wouldn't surprise us if this was announced as well), but we don't yet know what kind of 'new products' we can expect.
We'd be surprised if Steinberg launched another full-on music-making application at this stage – it's less than a year since it released Sequel, after all – so maybe we'll be treated to a fresh plug-in or two.
Whatever the news, we'll have it here as soon as it's made public. You can browse the current product line at Steinberg's website.

McKinley responds to jobs report
PARKERSBURG -The latest unemployment numbers show the economy is stagnant, a Republican congressman from West Virginia said Friday.
The December job report released Friday morning by the Bureau of Labor Statistics said unemployment for December was 7.8 percent.
That's what it was four years ago, Rep. David B. McKinley, R-1st, said.
"The so-called economic 'recovery' is looking more like stagnation, with 23 million Americans looking for work and our economy treading water," McKinley said. "In order to improve job growth and give hope to millions of unemployed Americans, Congress needs to stop the wasteful spending that is burdening future generations with debt, reform the tax code to help families and small businesses, and do away with red tape and excessive regulations."
The White House issued a statement in contrast to McKinley's comments.
The bureau's report said 168,000 jobs were added by the private sector in December and non-farm payroll employment rose by 155,000 jobs, the 34th consecutive month the private sector has added jobs. About 5.8 million jobs have been added over that period.
"While more work remains to be done, today's employment report provides further evidence that the U.S. economy is continuing to heal from the wounds inflicted by the worst downturn since the Great Depression," Alan B. Krueger, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, said. "It is critical that we continue the policies that are building an economy that works for the middle class as we dig our way out of the deep hole that was caused by the severe recession that began in December 2007."
According to the bureau, businesses added 2 million jobs in 2012. In the last year, unemployment decreased by 0.7 percent, the bureau said.
In December, employment most notably rose in the health care and social assistance industry, restaurants and bars, construction and manufacturing. Manufacturing sector has added jobs in 30 of the last 35 months, the bureau said.
Government lost 13,000 jobs in December, mostly in local government education, which lost 11,500 jobs, the bureau said.

Laurier Singers to sing Brittens War Requiem with Grand Philharmonic Choir
Oct 16/13
The Laurier Singers, a Wilfrid Laurier University chamber choir, will perform with the Grand Philharmonic Choir (GPC) during GPCs 2013-14 season opener Oct. 19, 7:30 p.m. at the Centre in the Square in Kitchener. The event will be a rare performance of Benjamin Brittens masterpiece, War Requiem.
The Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra will accompany the 200-person choir, made up of the GPC and its Children and Youth Choirs, the Laurier Singers and the University of Waterloos Chamber Choir. Soloists Leslie Ann Bradley, Thomas Cooley and Russell Braun will join the choirs.
Britten, who was a pacifist, composed the War Requiem for the consecration of Englands new Coventry Cathedral in 1962 after the original building was destroyed in the Second World War. Brittens music both terrifying and heartbreaking is combined with the familiar words of the Requiem Mass and the stark images of soldier-poet Wilfred Owen.
This monumental work is a testament to the horrors of the Second World War, in particular, and the affliction of human conflict in general, said Mark Vuorinen, artistic director and conductor of the GPC.
As the musical world celebrates Brittens centenary year (he was born in 1913), nearly 100 performances of War Requiem are planned globally, but this event is the only Canadian performance.
This is a profound statement of peace and justice that connects deeply with the values of our young singers, said Lee Willingham, director of the Laurier Singers. The privilege of performing this work is a life changing experience.
Tickets for this performance range from $20 to $75, with $10 tickets available for those under 30 and $5 tickets available for high-school students. Tickets can be purchased from the Centre in the Square box office by calling 519-578-1570 or by visiting www.centreinthesquare.com.
The performance is being offered in conjunction with the 2013 Peace and Justice Studies Association (PJSA) Conference, taking place Oct. 17-19 and co-hosted by Laurier and Conrad Grebel University College. The PJSA is the North American affiliate of the International Peace Research Association. The annual PJSA conference is hosted in Canada every three years.

Primary options in Packers' secondary
Joe Whitt is a no-nonsense kind of guy, but the Green Bay Packers cornerbacks coach did catch himself daydreaming a bit on Friday afternoon.
As he prepped his guys for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field – and the super-sized challenge that Lions star wide receiver Calvin Johnson presents – Whitt's focus was properly on the here and now. But after seeing second-year cornerback Casey Hayward, who's yet to play a game this season and has been declared out for Sunday with the hamstring injury that dates back to before training camp, do some drill work in practice, Whitt couldn't help but think about the Packers' potential in the back end once their leading interceptor from a year ago is healthy.
"Once we get Casey back, it'll be the first time that we've had all the guys at the same time this year," Whitt said wistfully. "And now we can really figure out how we want to go play some things."
Even with Hayward sidelined, the Packers have some intriguing options for how they will not only handle Johnson but what they can do with their secondary personnel in general. Starting safety Morgan Burnett, who has yet to play this season because of his own hamstring injury, has been cleared for Sunday, and fourth-year cornerback Sam Shields has come on so strong that he's now an option if the Packers want to match him up with Johnson.
On top of that, veteran Tramon Williams is moving inside to the nickel corner in sub packages, a wrinkle that Whitt has wanted to try in the past but was concerned about experimenting with because the 182-pound Williams (who is listed at 191) isn't as big as Charles Woodson, who'd done the same thing throughout his highly decorated Packers career.
But when rookie fifth-round pick Micah Hyde, who was the nickel corner on opening day against San Francisco, showed that he needs some more seasoning before taking on the job, Whitt didn't hesitate to move Williams and bring Davon House off the bench as the third corner, lining House up outside.
Put it all together, and while Johnson (21 receptions, 312 yards, four touchdowns) is a formidable challenge, the Packers at least have the flexibility to play him a variety of ways Sunday.
Sometimes, Shields will match up with Johnson wherever he lines up on the field, as Shields did against Cincinnati's A.J. Green during the second half of the Packers' pre-bye loss to the Bengals. Other times, they'll let House take Johnson if he lines up on that side, and give him help over the top with Burnett or safety M.D. Jennings. And if Johnson lines up in the slot, the Packers will let Williams cover him there.
"We'll have different schemes. Like every good receiver you play, you've got to be able to change things up because in this league, if you get grooved into just doing one thing, it doesn't take them long to find the weaknesses of it," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said Friday. "There'll be times when (Shields) will have that challenge. Obviously when you're playing against a receiver of his capabilities you've got to do a number of things because he's as talented a receiver as there is in the league."
Start with Shields, who in a contract year has picked up where he left off last season, when he emerged after an ankle injury as arguably the team's best cover man. For a player who entered the league as an undrafted free agent with one year of experience at cornerback after playing wide receiver his first three years at the University of Miami, Shields' development has been remarkable. He enters Sunday with 24 tackles (third on the team), the secondary's only interception (against Green and the Bengals in the last game) and eight pass breakups.
According to Whitt, Shields asked for the assignment of matching up with Green, which showed just how far he's come with his confidence.
"I said, 'You feel good about it?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Go ahead and match him,'" Whitt said of Shields, who despite missing six games last season with the ankle injury had three interceptions in regular-season play, then an interception in each of the team's playoff games.
"When we moved Tramon inside, he asked to match (Green) and we went with it. The kid has shown the ability. Since he got back from being hurt last year, if you look at the way he's played in these games, going through the playoffs last year to these first couple games, he's been as good as anybody.
"A couple years ago, he's been progressing from becoming a receiver that played DB to actually becoming a corner to now, 'I can be a corner who can go match.' Now, is he going to take the next step that, 'Now I'm a corner who can do whatever is asked'? That's where the question is.
"Has he reached his ceiling? I don't think so – and I think that's a positive thing. I think he still has better football to play, but he's moving that direction. I don't think there's anybody that he's going to be fearful of.
"Now, this guy we're going to play this week, everybody better respect Calvin Johnson. Everybody better understand that this man's skills set is rare. There's nobody in the league, I don't care who they are, who wants to go out there and play him by themselves all game, but when you're assigned to him. You just have to understand what he can do and how your help is helping you out."
That's why you won't see Shields on Johnson non-stop Sunday. Johnson enters the game having caught 65 passes for 1,062 yards and 11 touchdowns in 11 career games against the Packers – his highest production in all three categories against any opponent despite having played one more game against Chicago and Minnesota in his career.
"Calvin is different now. There's only one of him in the league. One guy is not going to be able to shut him down," Whitt said. "The opportunities that we do match when you are single-high, you have to be up for the challenge. The guys who have that assignment – and it won't just be Sam. Tramon will match him, as well. It depends on where he aligns that one of those two guys will draw the assignment. You probably will see Sam on him more, but if he lines up inside you'll see Tramon on him."
That Williams, who has matched up with Johnson in the past and shut him down on Thanksgiving in 2011, is lining up inside in the sub packages is another interesting development. The only time Williams had ever worked inside previously was during preseason games when Woodson would sit out. Now, he appears to have settled in despite being a bit undersized, recording 14 tackles, one sack, one quarterback hit and one QB hurry.
"It's a cool spot, I guess. I've known the position since I've been here, they just didn't need me in there at any point," Williams said. "So the opportunity presented itself and I'm ready to play it. It's actually fun.
"I actually embrace it. I find myself playing, you play differently in that position. You play quicker; everything is quick at that point. If you're asking me if I feel badly about (not matching up with Johnson), no, because I know those guys will get the job done. It actually works better for the defense. And it shows the growth into the defense. My pride? I don't have any pride behind it."
Asked about Williams' move inside, Whitt said he has been pleasantly surprised by how sturdy he has been and that he sees Williams following in the footsteps of Woodson, who became lethal from the slot corner spot.
"Tramon has a different challenge. He has the challenge that 'Wood' had," Whitt said. "He's going to be coming on blitzes, he's going to have opportunities for sacks, fumbles, tackle for losses and the interceptions, so there is no demotion in what Tramon is doing.
"If you look back at the two half-games that he's really played (there), he's been productive in the blitz game more than I thought so with him being 182 pounds. That's been my concern, but he's throwing his body around, he's gotten a sack, gotten a hit on the quarterback, he's pressured, he's set edges. I wasn't worried about the coverage game in there because he has short-area quickness; I was worried about the pounding that he would take. And so far, he's been fine with it. His body's holding up with it."
And, of course, there's the benefit of getting Burnett back. After playing every single defensive snap last season, Burnett signed a four-year, $24.75 million extension this offseason and entered the year as the team's defensive quarterback. While he was out, the coaches cobbled together a rotation of Jennings, Jerron McMillian and undrafted rookie Chris Banjo, with mixed results. Burnett was especially missed in the opener, when both McMillian and Jennings played poorly and 49ers receiver Anquan Boldin had 208 receiving yards.
Safeties coach Darren Perry called it "huge" to have Burnett back because he "gives you a sense of comfort and a sense of excitement" because of his potential as a difference-maker.
"He's got the ability to make plays in the run and the pass game. And we look for him taking that next step. We think this is going to be the year," Perry said. "I think as long as he continues to progress, we'll be very pleased with the way he plays."
The hope is that the Packers will feel the same way about the secondary as a whole come Sunday evening.
"I don't know if you can truly stop (Johnson), but you certainly can do some things to try to limit his explosiveness," Perry said. "We'll have our hands full, but our guys are looking forward to the challenge. And just like every week in the National Football League, you've got to be at your best. Otherwise, you're subject to be embarrassed if you're not."

The Latest in the David Wright Goatee Watch 2006
It is this blogger's hypothesis that David Wright performs better when clean-shaven. Last time the Mets faced the Rockies, the David Wright goatee alert was on high. Sure we creamed 'em then, but NOW we're creaming 'em with David Wright grand slams added in to boot. How shweet it is.
So Davey, ease up on the rebel chin hair, mmkay?
And D-Wright, I know you're gasping in pain here after fouling off your foot. But I'll just pretend you're doing the David Wright Clean-Shaven Grand Slam Dance of Joy.
8 Comments
Actually darling he had just fouled a a pitch off his foot…ouch…the reason why he didn't hustle down to 1st like he normally does.
But I concur, the kid does perform better without the facial hair. Perhaps it's the reduction in wind resistance hence he is able to hit dingers and throw lasers from well beyond the 3rd baseline (like last night).
Maybe I'm looking into it too much. I dunno, just a thought I wanted to share with a fellow fan.😀
Ack. I knew he fouled the ball off his foot–but my fingers were typing without my mind, I think. I'll edit.
Still, although we *never* want our players hurt, I do so love that it looks like he's dancing Fresh Prince of Bel-Air style.
Those "humid-i-dor" slips from Keith were great. I really do love listening to Mex… I'd take some linguistic gymnastics over him picking on that girl in the San Diego dugout any day lol.
Can't wait 'til Beltran, Delgado and Wright all get hot at the same time… watch out!
~ Eddie @ Willie Ball
Ohhh, that comment. Keith's never pretended to be politically correct (which is usually fun to hear, I admit), but I hope his wife gave him a bit of the cold shoulder that night!
See? I told you LOL D does better without it. Now Beltran is another beleif apparently LOL
Take care,
This is a great blog. I'm going to be sure to link yours to mine. Would you mind doing the same for me?
Thank you very much.
My site:
Take care,

Hotel seen in new plan for shelterTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | October 29,2013SHELBURNE A Shelburne hotel is poised to be converted into a new type of short-term housing that Vermont officials are touting as a way to help potentially homeless clients regain their footing.
The Champlain Housing Trust is buying the Econo Lodge that will cease operating as a motel within days and will become Harbor Place.
Its like a motel but very different, said the trusts Michael Monte. This is really something in the middle between having nothing and having something.
Children and Families Commissioner David Yacavone said the Harbor Place will provide up to 59 rooms for people in need of temporary housing and caseworkers to help them find work, child care or overcome other challenges that led to their homelessness.
The goal is to help people connect with services.
We have families that many times come back through, Yacavone said. We dont break the cycle.
The trust is paying $1.85 million for the property that includes almost 4.9 acres, Monte said.
Yacavone said the state has been spending $3 million a year statewide and $800,000 in the Chittenden County area on motel vouchers. Motels in the Burlington area cost the state $62 a night, while Harbor Place is expected to cost $38, a potential one-year savings of $262,000.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

What many Bee County residents may not know is that one of those notorious shootouts actually happened right here, just south of Pettus, and resulted in the wounding of two local lawmen.
Pat Martin, a Beeville resident whose grandfather was the chief of the Beeville Police Department in 1938, tells the story, and he has the magazine article to prove it. The grandfather, also named Pat Martin, was shot in the chest with a .45-caliber revolver by a criminal known as Harry Wells.
The bullet glanced off some bone and lodged in Martin's shoulder, but the grandson said the victim never really recovered.
The shooter was a fugitive who had been running from lawmen all over Texas when he was finally cornered near Pettus by Martin and Bee County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy R.J. Ball.
In the ensuing shootout, Ball also was wounded in both legs by shotgun blasts fired by the fugitive.
The assailant, Selvie Winfield Wells, went by a number of aliases at the time, including Harry Wells, Monroe Lang, Harry Northcutt, Nolan Wells and Harry Northfleet. But the name by which he was best known was Harry Wells.
Born on Oct. 14, 1912, in Caldwell County, Wells stared getting into trouble at the age of 15. His first stint behind bars was at the juvenile facility at Gatesville. But eight months later, he was back on the streets and looking for trouble again.
By 1930, Wells was serving time in a federal reformatory in Colorado for violating the Dwyer Act.
The law, passed in 1919 to combat vehicle theft, made it a federal crime to transport a stolen vehicle across state lines.
Later, he was sent to another federal institution in Washington State before returning to Gladewater, Texas, in 1932.
According to an article in Sheriff's Association of Texas publication titled "How the Law Got Harry Wells," the fugitive escaped from an Arkansas State prison while serving a 15-year sentence on a kidnapping and robbery charge. He had kidnapped a doctor, robbed him of $300 and had taken his car to make his escape.
He then fled south, pulling armed robberies along the way. The trip took him through Fort Bend, Refugio and Kleberg counties before he stopped for a while in Kingsville.
That was where the story took a strange twist. According to the article in the sheriff's association publication, Wells met a young Texas A&I student there, Ida Mae Knight of Runge, and later married her in Laredo. At the time, he was going by the name Harry Northcutt.
Wells had told the girl that his father was a rich oil man. But later, while cooling his heels in the Bexar County Jail, Wells told reporters that he felt sorry for the girl because of all the trouble he had caused her.
"I want her to know that I am not what she thought I was," Wells said.
The incident that led to the shooting of the two Bee County lawmen began on March 5 when an armed man robbed the Citizens' State Bank in Luling.
The bandit, later identified as Wells, had terrorized two women in the bank and fled with about $2,500. But his getaway had been a good one. No one knew where Wells had gone until around March 10 when a student at what was then Texas A&M College in Bryan got a ride to Austin as he was coming out of Taylor.
The driver told the student his name was Northcutt and he had recently married a girl from Texas A&I.
The passenger, Byron White, said he noticed that the driver had a pistol that he left in the car when they got to Austin.
White said the two walked around Austin for about an hour and "Northcutt" even bought him lunch. White said the driver flashed a roll of large bills and paid for their lunch with a $10 bill.
Wells later drove White to Luling and left him at a "filling station" outside of town.
It was after the two men parted company that White heard a description of the wanted man. When he heard of some tattoos the suspect had on his hands, White said the entire experience fell into place.
The odd thing was that Wells had never seemed nervous the entire time they were together.
It was at about 10 a.m. on March 12 that the story took on a local angle. The sheriff's office in Karnes City was tipped off by the fugitive's sister-in-law that Wells "must have been the man who robbed the Luling bank and he was driving southward."
The description and license number of the car was broadcast to lawmen in the area, and then somebody spotted Wells having breakfast at May's Cafe in Kenedy.
That was when Martin and Ball sprung into action. They were on their way north when they saw the Chrysler Wells was supposed to be driving.
Ball was driving Bee County Sheriff J.B. Arnold's car at the time, and he turned around and gave chase. The pursuit continued until the two vehicles reached a spot about five miles north of Beeville near a place called Ku Klux Hill.
That was when Wells first slowed down and waited for Ball to do the same. Then Wells gunned the Chrysler and sped south again. But Ball kept up the chase.
Wells tried the tactic a couple of times before Ball finally got him to stop. Martin was the first one out of the vehicle when the shooting started.
One bullet from Wells' revolver hit Martin in the chest, glanced off a bone and lodged in the chief's right shoulder. The wound disabled him.
"Another slug tore through the brim of Martin's hat about an inch from his head," the article said.
But Martin still was able to fire a shot from a sawed-off shotgun toward Wells, and the pellets struck the side of the Chrysler, just in front of where the bandit was sitting.
At that point, Ball jumped out of the patrol car and ran around the front to exchange fire with Wells. As he fired across the hood of Arnold's car, Wells emptied his .45-caliber pistol and grabbed the shotgun Martin was holding as he sat in the driver's seat, wounded.
Ball ran for the cover of a nearby tree, and Wells fired on him. Buckshot tore into Ball's leg and knocked him off his feet.
Ball ended up with buckshot wounds in the leg. He also was wounded in the left wrist with what was believed to be a bullet from Wells' .45.
"Wells then dragged Martin from the officer's Ford and started to drive away," the article said. Ball fired again and one slug tore through the back of the sheriff's car, glanced off the steel top and knocked a cameo ring from Well's hand.
The fugitive also was wounded in the left foot during the fight.
Later, Ball claimed to have only fired three shots from his revolver. When his gun was examined after the fight, investigators found three fired cartridges and two that had not been fired.
However, when Arnold spoke to Wells later in the jail in San Antonio, the bandit said he believed Ball emptied his gun, reloaded and fired more times as he sped from the scene.
A motorist driving south from San Antonio found the two lawmen wounded on the highway and drove them to Beeville for treatment.
An intensive manhunt was launched between Beeville and Houston after someone reported seeing Wells driving through Victoria.
Wells later told officers that he had his revolver in his hand when Ball caught up with the Chrysler he was driving and he shot Martin before he got out of the car. He said his intention was to shoot both officers.
Arnold was in Dallas at a trial when he heard of the shooting, and he immediately left to join the manhunt.
According to the story, Wells then drove through Beeville on the way to Refugio and then headed to Houston.
But when he got three miles south of El Campo Wells found himself in another shootout. That time, Constable T.W. "Buck" Lane of Wharton and Chief Deputy Sheriff C.R. Siebrecht of Wharton County were involved.
The two lawmen had heard about the shooting of the officers in Beeville, and they knew Wells was headed to Cuero or Wharton.
The two men met Wells on the highway to Victoria, about three miles outside of El Campo. Lane turned his vehicle around and started chasing Wells in the Ford he had taken from Bee County.
One of the lawmen raised the windshield on the sedan they were in and got ready to shoot when their vehicle got within range. But Wells stepped on the gas and tried, unsuccessfully, to shake the officers in El Campo.
Then, as the chase proceeded toward Houston on Highway 12, the officers ended up within about a city block behind the fugitive. Lane was going nearly 100 mph, but he could not gain on Wells.
The bandit was passing cars on the left and right, taking every chance he could to avoid another shootout with the law. A number of cars were forced off the highway as the two vehicles careened east.
One of the officers managed to write a note that they could leave with authorities in Wharton asking them to have a roadblock set up in Rosenberg.
"When we hit the city limits of Wharton, we were traveling approximately 90 mph," Siebrecht said later. "Wells must have slowed down some for the town, but we did not get within pistol range. Just in the northern city limits, Lane drew his pistol and started to take a shot at Well's car. I asked him not to shoot but try and get a little closer," Seibrecht told the Sheriff's Association writer.
About that time, the officers realized that Wells had pointed a rifle at them but he had not fired the gun.
The chase continued until the officers saw a cloud of smoke and dust rise from the highway. Wells' vehicle apparently had blown a tire.
The bandit quickly stopped the car at an angle, got out and aimed a rifle right at the police car. Lane tried to stop, but Wells got off two rounds before the officers could get out of the vehicle.
Again, the officers and the bandit exchanged gunshots from about 80 years apart until Lane said he was going to try to run to a nearby house to see if he could get a rifle. As the officer ran to the house, Seibrecht fired his last shotgun shell at Wells. Then he noticed the bandit stepping out from behind the car he was using for protection and taking aim at Lane.
Siebrecht yelled at his fellow officer, and Lane jumped just as Wells fired and missed.
Then Wells ran back to where some cars had stopped on the highway as the shooting began and forced his way into a Chrysler sedan. He turned the vehicle around and headed back toward Rosenberg. Lane and Siebrecht gave chase, but their car had been damaged by gunfire. They did get back to Rosenberg where they met up with a number of other vehicles loaded with Houston police, Highway Patrol troopers and Texas Rangers.
"It was several minutes before we picked up Wells' trail again, and it gave him a chance to give us the slip," Siebrecht told the Sheriff's publication reporter.
A check of the car he and Lane had been in during the shootout revealed bullet holes in the radiator, the front bumper, the carburetor and one engine support.
Wells drove north toward LaGrange, buried the license plate of the Chrysler he was in and drove through Austin, Taylor and Hearne after dark until he reached a point near Marshall, where he ditched the car and got a ride to Gladewater with a friend.
The fugitive hid out in a shack a few miles from town, but lawmen were tipped off to his location, and at about 2 a.m. on March 15, Wells was awakened by car lights aimed at his hideout.
About 20 officers from as far away as Bexar County had surrounded the place. After tossing in some tear gas, Wells came out with his hands in the air.
Officers took Wells to jail in Longview, but he was later transferred to Bexar County by deputies from San Antonio.
His weapons were found in the house where he had been hiding, and he had more than $1,000 in cash on him.
A later account of the capture revealed that, as officers surrounded the house where Wells was hiding, they had managed to throw two tear gas canisters into the house before the fugitive knew they were there.
One officer said he saw Wells grab a shotgun and immediately start coughing. The man who had shot it out with officers three times the previous day asked, "Are you going to shoot?"
Federal and state authorities argued for a while over who would get jurisdiction of the prisoner, and Wells eventually was turned over to Gus Jones, head of the San Antonio office of the FBI.
The article reported that Wells was later indicted by a Refugio County grand jury on a robbery by firearms charge. It said the maximum punishment at the time could have been death but that sentence was unlikely.
The maximum sentence he would have received for shooting at the Beeville deputy and police chief would be 30 years.
The FBI was planning to have Wells indicted by a federal grand jury of four counts in connection with the Luling bank robbery, and he could have been sentenced to 90 years in a federal prison if convicted.
The article did not provide the outcome of any of those cases.
Pat Martin, the grandson, still lives in Beeville. He said his grandfather never did completely recover from his wound and he died in 1942.

Spotlight Workshop Description: Even when faculty employ the best teaching strategies in existence, students cannot be optimally successful unless they understand their own learning processes. The good news is that there is a plethora of emerging research in the area of the science of learning. That said, understanding and applying findings of cognitive neuroscientists, psychologists, and education specialists in ways that can be used by students is difficult. This session will assist faculty to better understand and implement the newest findings in the science of learning so that students may better understand how they acquire, retain, and recall new information.
Dr. Todd Zakrajsek is the Executive Director of the Academy of Educators in the School of Medicine at UNC-Chapel Hill.
A complimentary copy of Dr. Zakrajsek's book, "The New Science of Learning: How to Learn in Harmony With Your Brain" co-authored with Dr. Terry Doyle, will be available to the first 30 registrants who RSVP and attend.

Etek 3 vs PM8
Posted 04 November 2012 - 07:04 PM
Posted 04 November 2012 - 07:26 PM
Posted 04 November 2012 - 08:41 PM
The etek 3 is only a year newer but has been in production longer.
Pm8 is a older gun, depending on condition of the pm8 I would do it
The pm8 will be a little more finnicky but the features and what not are on par with each other. Etek will be much more efficient but much louder. The pm8 will be smoother.
Basically decide what you want a more reliable marker w/ efficiency or a better overall shot.

the pm8 is a rebodied DM 8
the etek three is a stripped down ego 5
you decide
I have an m7 and my friend has an etek, and we swapped guns for a game, lol needless to say he was impressed
I say get the pm8 it will be miles smoother and quieter. I'm biased towards spools but for good reason
Also stay away from the techt bolt, way too picky
