yet we still insist on using a full address when writing to someone, when quite often just a house number and a post code is all that is needed.
You can just use postcode and house number - and many people do when putting a return address on a parcel - but a slight mistake will mean the letter (possibly) going astray. Better to put full address on, including name, house number, street, district, post town, post code AND county (if it helps to identify between identically named towns).

i remember a few years back, we had gone in at half time getting thrashed after a similar 1st half performance, and we came storming back in the second half to win the game. It was, like today,two different sides.
I asked Cresta what he had said in the changing room, he said that he had read them a poem. it was called " the indispensible man." (speaks for itself ) I think Holty must have found a copy today !!!!
The referee today was abysmal, he gave Dewsbury everything in the first half,but gave us everything in the second half, thank god.

Kernels Article for Quakes' "Play Ball" Magazine
Chris Pettit was promoted to Rancho Cucamonga after the Midwest League All-Star break.
I mentioned earlier that I've been working on a series of articles for the Play Ball magazine distributed at Rancho Cucamonga Quakes games.
The below article was in the issue distributed July 1-3 during the Lancaster series.
The next article, about the history of the Quakes/Lake Elsinore Storm rivalry, will appear in the issue distributed July 7-9 during the Storm series. I'll post it next week when I return from Orem.
And now I have to go write an article about the Arkansas Travelers …
The 2007 Cedar Rapids Kernels
If you ask the seismologists at Cal Tech, they'll tell you that quakes come from the shifting of tectonic faults deep beneath the Earth's surface.
But Angels fans know that Rancho Cucamonga Quakes usually come from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The Cedar Rapids Kernels are the Angels' affiliate in the Midwest League. They're one level below Rancho Cucamonga in the Angels farm system.
Players are promoted to Rancho Cucamonga after showing they can play at the Midwest League level. Many of the most successful Quakes players in recent years played for Cedar Rapids the year before — Brandon Wood, Howie Kendrick, Casey Kotchman, Dallas McPherson, Jeff Mathis, Sean Rodriguez, Ervin Santana, Nick Adenhart and many more.
The 2007 Kernels finished 38-31 in the first half, good enough for third place in the eight-team Western Division. Two of them — outfielder Chris Pettit and pitcher Doug Brandt — have already arrived in Rancho Cucamonga. You might see more Kernels before the season ends, and most of the rest will take the field at The Epicenter in April 2008.
Pettit, who turns 23 on August 15, hit .346 in the first half with 9 HR and 41 RBI. His .429 on-base percentage led the league. He also led the league with 24 doubles and was second with a .679 slugging percentage. Oh, he also stole 17 bases in 21 attempts. And he started for the Western Division in the Midwest League All-Star Game. Pettit grew up in San Dimas, and attended Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles before the Angels sign.
Two Orange County natives are among the Kernels' top prospects.
Catcher Hank Conger, 19, was the Angels' first round pick in the June 2006 draft. The Huntington Beach resident hit .282 in the first half with 8 HR and 33 RBI. His OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) improved from .732 in April to .820 in May and .872 in the first half of June. The switch-hitter had more success against right-handed pitchers (.840 OPS) than lefties (.703 OPS).
The other local is first baseman Mark Trumbo, 21, who's from Orange. Although he'd committed to attend USC, the Angels gave him a huge bonus to sign in August 2004. Trumbo had a disappointing 2006 with the Kernels, batting only .220 with 13 HR, and started 2007 back in Cedar Rapids. After a slow start, Mark had a .319 AVG in June before the break, a .351 on-base percentage and .507 slugging percentage.
Let's not overlook the Inland Empire!
Southpaw pitcher Brandt made a name for himself in Iowa after being drafted out of Cal State San Bernardino. Doug was selected in the 43rd round of the June 2006 draft, and began 2007 in the Kernels' bullpen where he posted a perfect 0.00 ERA. But after a couple starters were injured, Brandt made the most of his opportunity. In nine starts at the break, Doug has a 2.76 ERA and given up only one homer. His overall numbers for the first half: a 2.18 ERA with 60 strikeouts and only 12 walks in 57 2/3 innings.
Ryan Mount, from Chino Hills, turns 21 in August. "Mountie" hit .272 in the first half, stealing 13 bases. In June before the break, his average was a sizzling .417 with a .481 on-base percentage. Originally drafted as a shortstop, Ryan has played second base for the Kernels.
Another top prospect from the L.A. area is right-hander Trevor Bell, who the Angels chose in the first round of the June 2005 draft. Trevor, who's from the San Fernando Valley, made a name for himself acting in commercials while growing up. His professional baseball career has been set back by injuries, but when healthy he's been another solid starter for the Kernels. In eight starts before the All-Star break, Bell was 2-2 with a 3.46 ERA, striking out 30 and walking only four in 41.2 innings.
Let's be honest — not all the Kernels' talent comes from California. (It only seems that way!)
On the mound, the Kernels' ace the first half was right-hander Tim Schoeninger. The Denver native wasn't on anyone's prospect radar, but his season to date has changed that. Tim was 9-2 in 12 starts with a 2.67 ERA. In 81 innings, he struck out 64 and walked only six! Schoeninger was named to the Western Division All-Star roster.
In the bullpen, watch out for Aaron Cook, a 23-year old Floridian with a funky submarine delivery. In 19 relief appearances, he had a stingy 1.04 ERA with 17 strikeouts and only one walk in 26 innings.
Cook had four saves, but lefty Barret Browning leads the staff with five. Browning, 22, was scouted and signed out of Florida State University by Tom Kotchman, Casey's dad. Opponents were batting only .205 against Barret, who had 42 strikeouts in 35.1 innings.
A couple years ago, Angels fans expected one day to see Warner Madrigal hitting home runs at The Epicenter. But a series of hand injuries slowed his career to the point where the Angels converted him to the mound last summer. Now 23, Warner had a 3.64 ERA in 27 relief appearances, striking out 31 and walking 17 in 29.2 innings. Warner's fastball is in the mid-90s, and he's working on a slider and changeup.
In the next issue of Play Ball, we'll look at the Double-A Arkansas Travelers, where many of last year's Quakes now play.
6 Comments
Petit thoughts: I've been pretty high on this guy for a while. Many were skeptical of his age, as he's a bit old for a true top prospect (turns 23 in August).
He has continued to put up monster stats at High-A, and I have to say that thus far, this guy seems to be the total package- Howie Kendrick-like batting average, Brandon Wood-like power, good speed, and and a decent batting eye.
I was surprised it took the Angels as long as it did to move him up to High A, and I wonder if he's still not really in the right place yet. Sure, Rancho's a launching pad, and Arkansas has always seemed to me to be the toughest place for our prospects to play. (Certainly the struggles of S. Rodriguez and Wood speak to that). I also realize that a lot of his success has only come in the last 10 days or so. It just bothers me sometimes to see us hold guys back. Other organizations always seem to promote guys quickly if they dominate consistently the way Petit has.
One thing I would ask about is how his arm and glovework look. His error count has been fairly low for a minor leaguer, but that doesn't tell me much.
On another subject entirely, a couple of guys I was surprised you left out:
Sean O'Sullivan, who is 19 years old and has the lowest ERA on the Cedar Rapids staff. He's not quite Nick Adenheart, but he's closer than some might think.
Mark Sweeney, 3B, also 19 years old. He's put up similar numbers to Mark Trumbo, while being 2 years younger. They also happen to be better than the numbers Brandon Wood put up at the same age back in 2004. Not saying he's going to explode in Rancho the way Wood did. Just found that interesting.
Thanks for the reporting, I just figured I'd let you know someone is reading and cares enough to respond. ^_^
Thanks for your comments.
I was aware that I left out O'Sullivan and Sweeney, but frankly I ran out of space. By the time I got past (1) guys I thought would be called up to Rancho in time for the series where this would be distributed, and (2) guys from the SoCal area, I was at the limit. They certainly were deserving and I regret I didn't find space for them.
Re someone caring enough to respond, a lot of folks come up to tell me they read the blog and the main site. Most folks just enjoy reading, I guess. I see statistics for page views and it's pretty clear these columns get read. Maybe folks don't want to sign up for an account.
I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't. It's just that as a writer myself, I know that's always nice to have feedback, and comments on your blog seem in short supply sometimes. ^_^
I forgot to put a question mark in when I asked about this earlier, but do you know anything about how Petit's glovework and arm look?
The available stats don't tell me much him from the fielding side.
Regarding Chris Pettit, I've only seen him for one spring training game and three games at Cedar Rapids. Most of the time it was through a camera lens, so I really can't give you an authoritative answer. My anecdotal impression is that he played all three outfield positions in C.R, which suggests his arm and defense are fine. But it's also important to see how well he runs his routes to balls, and that takes more time than I've spent watching him play.
Regarding the relatively few posts, I think there are several reasons.
One which I'm sure will offend some folks on other fan sites is that, frankly, the people who visit my site and this blog are smarter about the game and more willing to learn. When I read the MLB.com Angels board, there are times when I want to scream because the posts are so clueless. The real crime isn't that they're uninformed, it's that they're DELIBERATELY uninformed. They don't want to be educated. They just want to complain, or they want instant gratification, or they're trolling for attention.
When they come to FutureAngels.com and this blog, they see that it's informed and realize that irrational rants are probably going to be debunked, not just by me but sane folks such as yourself. So that intimidates them.
The more I learn from hanging around the minors, the more I realize I don't know. Spend three days with Tom Kotchman and you're floored by how much this guy knows about the game, and its psychology. I try to soak as much knowledge as I can from the coaches and pass that along. Some of the coaches and rovers, I've known for almost ten years, so we'll have a lot of off-the-record conversations which help me to learn more about the game and our players. I record interviews and post video on the site so visitors can watch and listen, and decide for themselves. What I learn, I try to pass along, but like I said some people just don't want to hear it.
Another reason is that many people who visit the site and the blog are part of the extended family, for lack of a better phrase. They're players, coaches, their parents and loved ones, host parents, minor league front office staff, reporters, etc. Those folk aren't as likely to post because they're looking more for news, photos, video etc. than to get into a prolonged debate.
I've often described FutureAngels.com as the PBS/NPR of Angels baseball. PBS ratings are way below Fox, but I doubt anyone could deny that PBS viewers are smarter and more discerning than Fox viewers.
So I just don't see "quantity" as a measurement of this site's success. I'd rather have a reputation for "quality" than having hundreds of people posting rants like you see on the MLB.com Angels board.
I know well the status of the MLB.com board. >_>;
I actually post there pretty often, though I like to think I'm less about instant gratification and bashing players that are playing poorly than most.
Anyways, thanks for answering my questions.
(If you're curious as to who I am on the boards, I'll give you a hint: I'm currently using one of your Angels pictures as an avatar.)
Oh, I know there are sane people on the MLB board, but from my observation they're becoming fewer and fewer. I go back to the late 1990s when the Angels front office ran the site, before the owners voted to turn over all Internet rights to MLB. The board was quite different then. It had its share of loonies, but it was manageable.
These days, if you go read other fan sites they're unanimous in their disgust with the MLB board; in fact, most of those sites were started as an alternative to the MLB board.
Ironically, most of the fan sites have become their own little cliques. It's kinda funny to see two fan sites go to war with each other. It's the same behavior they condemn on the MLB board.
I avoid it all by simply not naming any other particular site or any particular individual running a blog. I do see lies and smears posted about me, but they're just looking to provoke a fight so they can get attention. I'd rather talk about the Angels than get into an endless flamewar.
Anyway, back to Pettit, hopefully next month I can get to Rancho for a couple games and do more Pettit coverage, including an interview. I also want to look at his Cal League stats to see how they split if you factor out High Desert and Lancaster, the two extreme hitter-friendly parks in the division.

Contractor Tim Mosher says it's important to take good care of a central air conditioning system. Tim Mosher, "The preventative maintenance in the beginning of the season is better than having to have a serviceman come out during a heat wave." And Consumer Reports says carefully choosing an air conditioning system can help you avoid service calls, too. Its latest product-reliability survey shows some central air systems have been significantly more repair-prone - Amana, Goodman, and York. "In the past six years, close to one in five of these systems needed repairs. That's a lot." Consumer Reports' survey also shows how inconvenient repairs can be. Ten percent of those polled said they needed repeated repairs in the first year. Eighteen percent reported their system broke down completely. And 39 percent lost A-C for at least a day. Dan DiClerico "About 30 percent who had problems had to pay 150 dollars or more for the repair." To prevent having to call a repairman, Consumer Reports says invest in a more reliable brand, including ones from American Standard, Rheem, or Trane. And don't do this! Plants and hedges should be at least two feet away from the air conditioning unit. Also, clean filters and grills monthly. And be sure to seal and insulate every duct. Dan DiClerico "Up to 30 to 40 percent of energy can escape through leaks when ducts aren't insulated." .Another energy saver - use a programmable thermostat and set the temperature higher when you're out of the house.

Originally published on May 1, 2012 7:07 am
South Sudan is the country that voted to break away from Sudan. They've been jostling for control of border zones, including oil fields. And just as the two sides were sitting down to negotiate, fighting broke out.

On the first night of Passover, Jews gather in families or groups to share a ceremonial meal, the Seder. They retell the exodus story, eat unleavened bread (matzah) and symbolic foods, drink wine, and sing songs of rejoicing. A special plate is used for these symbolic foods: the zero'ah (shankbone) represents the biblical lamb sacrifice made on the eve of the exodus from Egypt; the maror (bitter herb) recalls the bitterness of slavery; haroset (usually a mixture of crushed fruits, nuts, and wine) symbolizes the mortar from which the Hebrew slaves made bricks for Pharoah; karpas (a green vegetable) represents the coming of spring; and beitzah (a roasted egg) is a symbol of new life.

This is my first post, so be kind!
My daughter was born at 35 weeks via c-section. She did extremely well at birth and was able to room in from the beginning. She had a great latch with little discomfort on my part right from the start. She was slow to gain the first 2 weeks, but has since been gaining exceptionally well (averaging an oz/day or more) so clearly she's transferring milk well.
Everything was going swimmingly until 5 weeks when suddenly both nipples were a bit sore. Rightie wasn't terrible, but leftie was pretty uncomfortable. And by the 2nd day of this, it was excrutiating.
As I did some reading, I suspected thrush.
-I had antibiotics with my section
-I had another round of antibiotics with a severe sinus infection right afterward
-I had a vaginal yeast infection at the end of the 2nd round of antibiotics (shocker, right?)
-the pain is not just at latch, but continues throughout the feeding and sometimes after
-it is worse at night than during the day
My daughter does not have any signs of thrush herself, though. And when I called my OB, she didn't think it was thrush.
I was extra cautious with her latch, varied my nursing position and started doing vinegar washes after each nursing session and taking a probiotic. I had a little improvement, but still had pretty severe pain at night on the left. The right side completely cleared up and is still pain free.
I then decided to try gentian violet. I've now down 4 nights of GV on my nipples and the only thing I can say is that we're both very blue and I hope I can get it out of my bedding. She only occasionally takes a pacifier, but I've boiled them for 20 minutes daily as well.
But I'm still in severe pain.
My reading says if 4 days of GV doesn't improve the pain, it wasn't yeast, but I really don't know what else to say. I really don't think it's a latch problem because everything was fine for 5 full weeks, and my right side doesn't hurt at all. (Though to be fair, my right nipple is significantly smaller than my left, so I'm sure he latch is different on each side.)
I don't see a crack or bleb. The only thing I can *MAYBE* see is that by the end fo the night when the GV is mostly worn off, there is one little "dot" of GV left, like perhaps it's still in a milk pour that is blocked? It looks fine otherwise. I just don't know.
The tips of my nipples do feel a little "tough" for lack of a better explanation, but I would assume that's somewhat normal after 6 weeks of EBFing. But I don't know how I would know if it's a callous or not?
I would love anyone's thoughts. I am seeing my OB for my 6 weeks PP check tomorrow and will discuss it with her as well, but I'm in a lot of pain and hoping someone has some advice!

- Title
- Methylation of zebularine investigated using density functional theory calculations
- Author(s)
- Selvam, Lalitha; Chen, Fang Fang; Wang, Feng
- Abstract
- Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation is an epigenetic phenomenon, which adds methyl groups into DNA. This study reveals methylation of a nucleoside antibiotic drug 1-(β-d-ribofuranosyl)-2-pyrimidinone (zebularine or zeb) with respect to its methylated analog, 1-(β-d-ribofuranosyl)-5-methyl-2-pyrimidinone (d5) using density functional theory calculations in valence electronic space. Very similar infrared spectra suggest that zeb and d5 do not differ by types of the chemical bonds, but distinctly different Raman spectra of the nucleoside pair reveal that the impact caused by methylation of zeb can be significant. Further valence orbital-based information details on valence electronic structural changes caused by methylation of zebularine. Frontier orbitals in momentum space and position space of the molecules respond differently to methylation. Based on the additional methyl electron density concentration in d5, orbitals affected by the methyl moiety are classified into primary and secondary contributors. Primary methyl contributions include MO8 (57a), MO18 (47a), and MO37 (28a) of d5, which concentrates on methyl and the base moieties, suggest certain connection to their Frontier orbitals. The primary and secondary methyl affected orbitals provide useful information on chemical bonding mechanism of the methylation in zebularine.

I don't like to remain wordless about old photos. This tintype is the epitome of why I like the format so much. It's just an ordinary portrait of a young woman, but a detailed scan shows a nice depth of character and detail. I suspect it is from the early to mid-1870s, if that helps. Regards, BrettReplyDelete
I believe it comes from a set of photos taken in 1877 at the time of the marriage of the youngest daughter of David Lowery Keyes. In my fantasy world, I hope that I have found a picture of Susan J Ward Keyes, wife of David, and mother of the bride, but .... .ReplyDelete
Thanks for your interest --- this picture is indeed a mystery to me.

You learn something new everyday. Do people in New York have festivals for other pastas or is Rigatoni the only one? Maybe they could become friends with the people in Spain that throw tomatoes at each other then you you could have pasta with tomato sauce.These sound really good, you got me wanting pasta with chicken now.

The Magic Castle! Dodger Stadium
The Magic Castle! That is what Vin Scully called Dodger Stadium last night! There is a lot of magic going on at OLOCR (Our Lady of Chavez Ravine)! Magic Castle! I like it!!
The original Magic Castle is in Hollywood. Is an exclusive place so you need a special iinvitation. I was lucky to be there once.
But I prefer this Magic Castle that Vin Scully was talking about. Dodger Stadium is a magical place to watch a game.
There was a triple play yesterday by the D'Backs but the Dodgers won their consecutive #11 win at the Magic Castle.
Going for #12 tonight with Jeff Weaver making his first start. Buena suerte guerito!
Let the Blue magic continue!

Glitches continue to plague exchangeBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | October 22,2013MONTPELIER State officials say the states online health insurance marketplace mandated under the federal health care reform law that launched on the first of the month is continuously improving even as some technology flaws persist.
Three weeks into the online exchanges, President Barack Obama, surrounded by beneficiaries of the Affordable Care Act, took to the Rose Garden on Monday to lament issues surrounding the insurance marketplaces and pledging prompt fixes.
The federal government built the Web portal that sells insurance plans in 36 states. Vermont is one of the 14 states that opted to design its own marketplace.
The federal exchange site has had a bumpy introduction and the state-specific sites, including Vermont Health Connect, have not fared much better. Load times are slow, the registration process often becomes stuck or error messages are received by users.
Obama acknowledged the flaws in the federal site Monday but said the law, known as Obamacare, is not just a website. The crux of his signature achievement as president is working as designed, the president said, and the technical problems will be resolved.
The problem has been that the website thats supposed to make it easy to apply for and purchase the insurance is not working the way it should for everybody. And theres no sugarcoating it. The website has been too slow, people have been getting stuck during the application process. And I think its fair to say that nobody is more frustrated by that than I am, Obama said.
The federal site and the Vermont site share a developer CGI Systems and Technologies. Vermont is paying the company more than $80 million for its services. Gov. Peter Shumlin said Monday that he shares the presidents frustration with the struggling exchange.
I think Ive made my frustration with what doesnt work very clear. Its frustrating. When we pay for a product I expect it to work. Ive made that very clear to the CEO of CGI, he said. Im going to hold their feet to the fire until its perfect.
Still, despite sharing a main developer, Shumlin said Vermont Health Connect has had fewer issues than the federal site and Vermonters are signing up for insurance plans.
I am grateful that we chose to do it the Vermont way by building our own because Vermont Health Connect has not experienced the degree of problems seen by the federal site. Ours happens to be one of the most functional sites in the country, Shumlin said. Having said that, it has had the problems that you would expect from a technology launch as ambitious and new as this one.
The online insurance marketplace is a revolutionary, new way of purchasing health insurance, Shumlin said, and Vermonts exchange has glitches that must be addressed. State officials, including Shumlin, are pushing CGI to live up to the terms of the contract.
Ive been on the phone working very closely with the CEO of CGI to get their best teams in place to help fix our glitches and theyve been delivering. So, every day our site is better than it was the day before and youre going to continue to see improvements in the weeks and months going forward, Shumlin said. CGI knows that theyve promised us a product thats supposed to work and Im going to hold their feet to the fire until it works.
As of Monday, officials at the Department of Vermont Health Access said more than 80,000 people have visited the site and more than 7,000 accounts have been created. But only 950 people have completed the process of selecting an insurance plan, and nobody can pay for the plans online yet.
The exchanges, according to a mandate in the law, launched Oct. 1. State officials have said people who register on Vermont Health Connect and select an insurance plan can begin paying online for the coverage Nov. 1.
That may not happen by Nov. 1, though. Shumlin said Monday that he has told both CGI and DVHA Commissioner Mark Larson to be sure everything is working properly before launching that part of the site.
This is what Ive said to them and to Mark, I said, Listen, test it before you put it up on Nov. 1 and if it means that you guys spend an extra few days getting it right, get it right, Shumlin said.
Meeting the self-imposed Nov. 1 deadline has not been a main focus, according to Shumlin.
What weve been focusing on is the fact that the website itself doesnt always get the results that we expect it to get, forgetting about making payments. In other words, we knew that that piece wasnt going to work. Were trying to get the pieces that we promised would work to work, he said.
People working to help Vermonters sign up on the exchange say Vermont Health Connect has more than a few glitches. The task of enrolling the 100,000 or so Vermonters required to obtain coverage on the exchange beginning on Jan. 1 seems a tall task, said Vermont Chamber of Commerce President Betsy Bishop.
I think our biggest concerns right now for the entire Vermont Health Connect is the amount of people that we need to sign up as a state, have them pay and get their insurance cards back by Jan. 1. Thats a pretty large task ahead of us and at the rate were going, it seems like the task is going to be even more difficult with each passing day, Bishop said.
Its not an impossible task, though, she said. Im not sure that I would label it that quite yet, Bishop said.
The Chamber is one of many groups designated by the state to have navigators, people across the state helping Vermonters enroll. The navigators are experiencing all kinds of issues, Bishop said.
Employers are required to provide a list of employees for the system, which then generates a letter to the employer with a special code that allows the employer to access necessary information for enrolling. Bishop said those letters are not being triggered.
Weve got to have that matching happen. Thats not automatically happening. That has to be manually done by the Vermont Health Connect staff. Thats is where a big part of the slow-down is coming, she said. Employees cannot yet select a plan. If they can get in with their code they can look around but they cannot select a plan. That part of the system has not worked yet.
Darcie Johnston, head of Vermonters for Health Care Freedom and the states most vocal critic of Obamacare, issued a release Monday calling on Shumlin to delay Vermont Health Connect.
Johnston said state law allows the governor to issue a waiver that would allow Vermonters to keep the insurance plan they have now beyond the end of the year when Vermont Health Connect plans launch. She also strongly suggested that Shumlin fire CGI and bring the best minds in Vermont to the table to figure out this mess.
Dumping CGI now is unlikely. However, Shumlin said Monday that the state has not further amended the contract with CGI and has retained its right to seek millions of dollars in compensation from CGI for deadlines it has missed.
My first job is to work with CGI to get the system working for Vermonters. We have not waived any of our rights to be reimbursed for areas where promises were not kept, he said. We are working 24-7 to get the website working to our satisfaction. It is taking everybodys concentration, effort and focus. Ive told my team to get it working before we worry about getting reimbursed for any portion of the contracts as long as we havent waived the right to do that, which we have not.

A teacher at an Indiana high school is fired after he was accused of taking students to a strip club and allowing them to drink at his home.
Travis Lechien, 31, is a chemistry teacher at Hanover Central High School in Cedar Lake.
According to a probable cause affidavit prepared by Lake County prosecutors, some students at the school have visited Lechien at his home and "on four or five separate occasions, Mr. Lechien allowed" the students to drink beer and smoked a hooka belonging to Lechien.
The affidavit also states that Lechien took students to a strip club to celebrate one of the student's 18th birthdays.
Lechien has been a teacher at the school for nine years.
He is facing three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and is due in court next month.

Ursuline's Hollingsworth - WDEL Female HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 10:59pm
VIDEO: Interview with Taylor Hollingsworth (PHOTO: Bud Keegan/budkeeganimages.com)
Ursuline volleyball defensive specialist Taylor Hollingsworth is this week's WDEL Female High School Athlete of the Week.
Taylor had 52 of her team's 113 digs in a 4-set victory over Wilmington Friends Monday night.
The 5-foot-3 senior says her favorite plays are ones where she makes a great save to keep a play alive.
"The ones where everyone thinks the ball is on the ground. Maybe a pancake, a point where everyone thinks the point is over. Maybe the other team has started cheering, and it's like 'maybe there's hope, the ball's still up.' Some ones where you have to make diving stops in the corner, it's fun to hear the crowd."
Defensive specialists are often put in the challenging position of having the other team's top hitter slamming a spike right at them, how does she handle the pace so well?
"I try to say to myself when they're going up 'stay calm'. Because sometimes I find myself moving too much, and I have to remember to get to my spot you set your feet and you make the dig. That's the big thing with them, with such a hard hit you have to be in the right spot."
Due to her position she doesn't play at the net for Ursuline, I asked he if she ever wished she could be the attacker.
"I have been working on my vertical so I like to get a back row attack for fun. I really take pride in my position on the back row, it's such an important position to have and I really like being back there."
Next year Taylor will be joining St. Mark's star Lauren Talley on the Delaware Volleyball team. Hollingsworth says she'll be studying Behavioral Science with the goal of becoming a Physician's Assistant.
"I volunteered at A.I. (duPont) Children's Hospital this past summer. I realized my passion for children. I really want to be in pediatrics, so being in the hospital setting it really determined that's exactly what I want to do."

Entergy announces Vermont Yankee layoffs
Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant will lose 30 of its 650 employees by the end of the year as part of a reorganization announced Tuesday by parent company Entergy Corp.
In a quarterly earnings conference call Tuesday morning with reporters and financial analysts, Entergy CEO Leo Denault announced that 800 Entergy employees altogether would lose their jobs by the end of the year.
Entergy operates five nuclear reactors in New England and New York state, while in all the company has 15,000 employees. One third of all the cuts will come in Louisiana and New Orleans, its home base.
Denault did not give particulars of how the layoffs would be divided among its various companies but said the cutbacks would save the company between $200 million and $250 million by 2014.
Entergy had launched an evaluation of company staffing earlier this year along with what the company called seven strategic imperatives.
The company did not consider shutting down Vermont Yankee or any of its nuclear power plants as a cost-saving measure, Entergy Vice President Terry Young said after the earnings call.
Weve been very clear that short-term prices in the merchant market are challenging, he said. But we do believe our markets are going to recover.
Company executives have said in the past that Vermont Yankee was not covering its capital costs, but Young said Entergy still had confidence in nuclear power.
According to Entergys news release about the second-quarter earnings, the companys nuclear plants were selling power at about $42 per megawatt-hour, down from $45 in the previous period.
The state of Vermont has been actively trying to shut down the Vernon reactor for several years, but so far Entergy has been successful in continuing to operate. Its legal challenge to two Vermont laws is currently pending in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, and it is waiting for a new certificate of public good from the Vermont Public Service Board.
Federal regulators have already cleared Vermont Yankee to continue to operate for another 20 years beyond its original 2012 license expiration, but Yankee has been operating without a state permit since March 21, 2012.
Entergys as reported earnings for its second quarter are about half of what they were a year ago. Entergy reported a drop from $2.06 earnings per share in 2012 to 92 cents for 2013 for the second quarter. For the year to date, earnings are down 62 cents per share compared to last year.
The company said utility earnings were lower because of substantially higher income tax expenses, as well as lower net revenue and higher decommissioning expenses.
Young said it would mean the loss of about 30 jobs at Vermont Yankee, and similar losses at Pilgrim Nuclear in Massachusetts in both cases a 4 percent reduction in the workforce. The FitzPatrick plant in Oswego, N.Y., will lose 35 positions, or about 5 percent.
At the Indian Point nuclear plant outside New York City, which is a two-reactor site, job losses will affect 75 people, a 7 percent cut in the workforce.
Denault and Young both said the company was dedicated to safety and that the cuts would not have an adverse effect on safety.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said earlier this month that it has required staffing levels for only certain positions at nuclear power plants, such as in the control room and in security, and those staffing levels cannot be cut.
Young said individual employees had not yet been notified of possible job losses, since the company is going to initiate rounds of new evaluations for various positions. He said the companys restructuring had been started several months ago.
We took a blank piece of paper and created from scratch how to rebuild the company, and how to create a company as efficient as possible, he said.
He said cuts were going to be across the board. Young said it was even possible that he too might not have a job after the first round of evaluations.
They will determine who can best do the job, he said.

People For the American Way Foundation's African American Ministers Leadership Council In Long-Term Project to Challenge Homophobia in Black Church & Communities
Three radio ads urging African Americans to oppose anti-gay discrimination begin running across California today. The ads are part of a long-term effort to challenge homophobia in the Black Church and African American communities that is being carried out by the African American Ministers Leadership Council, a project of People For the American Way Foundation.
The ads (text below) are beginning to air the same week that Rev. Kenneth Samuel, chair of the AAMLC's Equal Justice Task Force, is in California to speak with pastors and community leaders about the historic role of the Black Church in promoting justice. Samuel, who spoke at the Prophets for Justice event at Jones Memorial United Methodist Church in San Francisco on Sunday evening, will be conducting a workshop this coming weekend at the convention of the California NAACP.
"The justice-seeking witness of the Black Church is threatened from within by homophobia and an unwillingness to stand up for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters," said Rev. Kenneth Samuel. "We're in California as the debate over discrimination and equality has intensified since the state Supreme Court's decision upholding marriage equality. We are committed to bringing tough and loving conversations to African American churches and communities across the country."
People For the American Way Foundation is a nationwide organization that promotes progressive values and the constitutional principle of equality under the law. The African American Ministers Leadership Council supports, strengthens and mobilizes progressive clergy who encourage African American churches and communities to become more civically engaged and promote programs and policies that advance social justice.
"People For the American Way Foundation is committed to promoting justice everywhere," said Executive Vice President Sharon Lettman. "We are proud to work with clergy who are willing to take some heat for taking leadership. That's how change is made."
"Economics 101"
A lot of us are struggling to make ends meet. Soaring gas prices, foreclosures, outsourcing of our jobs. Politicians make bad decisions that we all pay for. But some people are trying to tell us the real threat to our families comes from gay couples trying to get married. Who are they kidding? Not me. It's wrong to support discrimination of any kind.
Listen to the ad:
I'm excited about the chance for positive change this year. But while we break down the walls that divide, let's not leave any of our brothers and sisters behind. We know that gay people are part of our families and churches, so why would we tolerate them being discriminated against? Who are we to judge? Discrimination is wrong no matter what form it takes.
Listen to the ad:
"Supportive Dad"
My wife and I have been married for 35 years, and I'm grateful for every day. This year we're celebrating that my baby girl and the woman she loves were able to get the legal protections that only marriage can provide. I think it's wrong for the government to discriminate against loving and committed couples. It's wrong for our community to support discrimination. It's just wrong.

Dr. Rajiv Shah led the efforts of nearly 10,000 staff in more than 70 countries around the world to advance USAID's mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies.
Under Dr. Shah's leadership, USAID applied innovative technologies and engaged the private sector to solve the world's most intractable development challenges. This new model of development brings together an increasingly diverse community—from large companies to local civil society groups to communities of faith—to deliver meaningful results.
Dr. Shah led President Obama's landmark Feed the Future and Power Africa initiatives and has refocused America's global health partnerships to end preventable child death. Feed the Future, alone, has improved nutrition for 12 million children and empowered more than 7 million farmers with climate-smart tools they need to grow their way out of extreme poverty. In April 2014, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab to harness the expertise of the world's brightest scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, the newly formed Private Capital Group for Development forges a more strategic relationship between private capital and development.
Dr. Shah also managed the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to catastrophic crises around the world, from the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Through an extensive set of reforms called "USAID Forward," Dr. Shah worked with the United States Congress to transform USAID into the world's premier development Agency that prioritizes public-private partnerships, innovation, and meaningful results. He currently serves on the boards of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as participates on the National Security Council.
Previously, Dr. Shah served as Undersecretary and Chief Scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he created the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he spent eight years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he led efforts in global health, agriculture, and financial services, including the creation of the International Finance Facility for Immunization.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and the Wharton School of Business. He regularly appears in the media and has delivered keynote addresses before the U.S. Military Academy, the National Prayer Breakfast, and diverse audiences across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Shah was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He has served as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, been named to Fortune's 40 Under 40, and has received multiple honorary degrees.
He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Shivam Mallick Shah and three children and has given up mountain climbing for family bicycle rides.
As I reflect on five years in the role as Administrator of USAID, I am really proud to have had the opportunity to reflect, and represent, the best of what America's about, the values that Jeff talked about—enterprises that started in the fight against the earthquake and started the recovery of Haiti, to the more immediate effort to stop Ebola in its tracks in West Africa. I am deeply proud of efforts that so many of you have partnered with myself and our teams on in the past years to build bold new public-private partnerships to end hunger, to eliminate preventable child death, to deliver electricity to hundreds of millions of people who still live in the dark, and to create an opportunity for justice and basic human aspirations. There's so many people around the world that still, incredibly, live and subsist in conditions that—despite our thoughtfulness—we can hardly empathize with, and hardly experience ourselves.
am honored to be here this afternoon in recognition of this great new initiative for Cambodia's National Committee for Counter Trafficking. I would like to thank the National Committee and our respective Cambodia government counterparts for their collaboration with USAID and Winrock International to increase national and international efforts to fight human trafficking.
I am very happy to be here with all of you this morning. On behalf of the U.S. government, I would like to thank His Excellency Sem Sokha, Veterans International Cambodia, the World Health Organization, and our other partners for their collaboration and support to the Wheelchair Service Training Package workshop today. I would also like to express gratitude to the workshop participants who are transforming the lives of Cambodians with disabilities by helping them decrease their dependence on others and realize their full and productive potential to participate in society.
I am happy to be here today to help conclude the Clinical Practice Guidelines Dissemination Workshop. USAID has proudly supported the Ministry of Health throughout the process of developing and implementing these guidelines. We view this initiative as an important part of our shared effort to improve the quality of medical care in Cambodia.
It is my pleasure to join you in opening this important conference on "One Health - Infectious disease risks at the human-animal-ecosystem interface in Viet Nam."
Vietnam is showing strong leadership to prevent, detect and respond to serious infectious disease threats. The U.S. Government is proud to support that leadership.
2015 is an important year for our collective partnership to address extreme poverty and promote resilient democratic societies, often in the most difficult parts of our world. But no matter where we work across the globe, the men and women of the State Department and USAID work on behalf of the American people. And the modest yet critical investments we make in improving the quality of life for the world's most fortunate, in fact, contribute directly to American strength, security, trade, and prosperity.
And above all, over the last years we have refocused our investments to make sure that we're doing our work in a way where, over time, our aid and assistance is no longer necessary, where self-sufficiency can replace the need for outside assistance. The President's budget request this year includes $22.3 billion that USAID will manage or partly manage. These critical resources allow us to advance our country's interests in a far-ranging set of contexts. By leveraging public-private partnerships and harnessing the power of technology, science, and innovation, we're now able to deliver clear, focused, and measurable results with these resources.
It is my pleasure to be with you today to witness the signing of the Bilateral Assistance Agreement for Basic Education between the Philippines and the United States of America.
As a former teacher, and the son of a teacher and school principal, I share your conviction that a quality basic education is the right of every child.
Distinguished guests, I'm honored to be here today to speak about the fight against corruption, an issue that is increasingly vital in Central and Eastern Europe. Looking around the room, I see that we are a diverse group – civil society, government officials, journalists, judges, diplomats – and everyone cares deeply about combatting corruption. We also share profound concern about the people and the future of Macedonia, and are committed to working together in the fight against corruption.
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises are the backbone of almost all economies in the world. Their essential contribution to sustained and broad-based development has become even more indispensable in the regional and global economy of today. This is particularly the case in ASEAN, with each member nation having between 52 and 97 percent of its domestic employment within the SME sector. Here in Cambodia, a recent report from the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia puts SME employment at 73 percent of the domestic work force.
Two and a half years ago, as part of a discussion of how we would get, there a few of us gathered in the dead of winter for a discussion on how we tackle perhaps the greatest barrier to growth across the African continent. At that time I would not have imagined that Power Africa would grow into such a vibrant and exciting public-private collaboration to achieve exactly that objective. Progress has come not from putting a whole lot of new money on the table, or even because we have so many new partners that are engaged - and both of those are areas where we have made real progress - but our progress actually comes from a willingness to embrace a new model of development.

Fireworks, flagpoles and firearms; Tusten gets closer to final decisions
February 20, 2013 —
While no resolution has been made concerning the Narrowsburg fireworks, steps have been taken to reach a final decision. At a town board meeting on February 12, councilman Anthony Ritter read a report from the fireworks committee detailing those steps.
The first issue was the big two questions: who will sponsor the fireworks and where will they be held? The location has been narrowed down to two places, Narrowsburg Fire Department/Landers Field, where it has been held in the past, and the 14 acres owned by Sullivan West School District on Kirk Road. Further, Councilman Ned Lang volunteered to donate use of the land he owns on Irish Hill, where the Christmas star is located.
As for who will sponsor, that is still up in the air. Ritter announced that the cost of the fireworks will be approximately $8,000, which will be funded through donations. The committee has created fliers that will be sent to residents of Tusten asking them for their contributions.
Lang offered financial support, saying if they do not reach their goal of $8,000, he will make up the rest. He said, "It's the right thing to do…. We need to have the fireworks back; it's important." Lang and others in the crowd urged the Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce to sponsor, but chamber president Jane Luchsinger said that they do not have the funds.
The hotly debated issue of where to place the flagpole in front of the town hall came to a resolution. A petition was presented to keep the flag in the position it is now, as opposed to moving it in front of the building between the two benches. The petition, started by Luchsinger, had over 60 signatures. When it was put to a vote, both Lang and Ritter cited the petition and said they were there to act on behalf of their constituents. They voted in favor of keeping the pole where it is. With the additional support of supervisor Carol Ropke Wingert, the resolution to keep the flag in its current position passed 3 to 2.
As to who will be in charge of the installation of the flagpole, it was a choice between Tom Coacci and Kevin Freda. The board agreed to choose Freda for the job. Freda assessed that it will cost $800 to install each flag, coming to a total of $1,600. The installation must be complete by April 15.

That just missed being a homer by inches.
That just missed being a homer by inches.
You would have thought that was at least worth a replay.
Off the wall, borne thought it was gone
A 3-1 lead would feel infinitely better. Bad luck to miss that extra run by 3 inches.
Bruce can really show me something here, on the road, tough lefty.
He's staying alive, nice at bat.
Not even a close replay from FSO. Come on. That looked like it hit the yellow line.
Bruce grounds out. Phillips to 3rd.
Bruce grounds out, but good at bat. Like his approach tonight. Man on third, two out. Heisey up, having a good night so far.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I'd like to see Ondrusek start then go to chapman if needed and let him close it out if he can
Heisey keeps hitting like that and Ludwick can carry the bags.
Another big hit. Heisey lines a double to left center. 3-1 Reds! Heisey 3 hits tonight.
There's the run. Heisey might be warming up.
Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.

The 5 Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week: Jan. 11
5. Sokol's Low Blow
Say it ain't so, Sokol! We knew you were a shady character, but we didn't think you were this dark.
One-time Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A) big shot David Sokol mocked his former mentor, Warren Buffett, last Friday, scorning the billionaire investor after regulators cleared him of any wrongdoing regarding the trade that led to his March 2011 resignation. Sokol, in case you've forgotten, was once Buffett's golden boy, as well as a leading candidate to succeed the octogenarian as chief of the $232 billion dollar holding company. He fell from grace, however, after it was revealed he personally bought a boatload of Lubrizol shares before pitching the chemical maker to Buffett as an ideal investment for Berkshire.
Buffett initially backed Sokol after the Lubrizol trade blew up in the press, saying Sokol's actions were not "in any way unlawful." Nevertheless, he eventually turned on his protégé after digging deeper into the details of Sokol's shenanigans.
"I will never understand why Mr. Buffett chose to hurt my family in such a way, but given that he is rapidly approaching his judgement
A "higher power"? That's a sick thing to say. We may have had our own issues with Buffett's behavior in the past, but that's way beyond the pale.
Moreover, the notion that Sokol's family was harmed in any manner, well, that's plain ludicrous. Sokol pocketed nearly $3 million on his $10 million investment when Berkshire agreed to buy Lubrizol only a few months after he brought it to Buffett's attention. Sokol's net worth -- thanks to Buffett's benevolence -- is reportedly well over a hundred million dollars.
As for why the SEC dropped the investigation, we can only imagine it couldn't concretely prove that Sokol knew Berkshire was going to buy Lubrizol before he personally dipped his big toe in.
And as to what Warren Buffett ever saw in this shyster in the first place?
Clearly, the Oracle of Omaha had a pretty severe blind spot in this case.
4. Bill and Eric's Excellent Adventure
Hey, Eric Schmidt, your company just won the Super Bowl of antitrust investigations. What are you going to do next?
What? You're going to North Korea?
What the heck's wrong with Disney World? Or any other place on earth where the government doesn't starve its citizens in gulags?
A week following Google's(GOOG) victory over the FTC, and only a few weeks after a provocative North Korean rocket launch, the search giant's chairman ignored the State Department's admonitions and joined former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson this week on a four-day private trip to Pyongyang. Richardson, speaking prior to the pair's flight from Beijing on Monday, assured the press that it was a humanitarian visit as opposed to "a Google trip," and that Schmidt was interested in "the social media aspect" of the country's economy.

Political Science
Jorge Heine, On Sowing and Reaping
Mar 27/13
I am what South of the border is referred to as an "in-and-outer". This means someone who alternates stints in government with time in business or in academia. In August of 2013 it will be six years that I have been at WLU. I teach an undergraduate course in Modern Diplomacy (PO323) and a graduate one on Truth Commissions in Comparative Perspective (PO654). Both draw on my experience as a practitioner. This includes eight years as an ambassador of Chile to key countries in the Global South, at crucial moments of their history--first to South Africa during the presidency of Nelson Mandela , and then to India, as it opened up to the rest of the world and took it by storm.
My time in Waterloo, where I have appointments not just at WLU's Political Science Department, but also at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), and at the Balsillie School of International Affairs (BSIA), has led to the publication of five books. The latest is The Oxford Handbook of Modern Diplomacy, from Oxford University Press, co-edited with Andrew F. Cooper and Ramesh Thakur. With fifty chapters and nearly 1000 pages, it is the most ambitious publishing venture in diplomatic studies today. It was triggered by my first-hand experiences in Southern Africa and in South Asia on how the practice of this ancient craft is changing from what I call the "club model of diplomacy" to "network diplomacy". And the book was made possible by the extraordinary hub in international affairs studies that has sprung up in Waterloo over the past decade, with CIGI, the BSIA and ACUNS, among other institutions. Half a dozen of my BSIA and CIGI colleagues are among the contributors. I find the collegial atmosphere in WLU's Political Science Department, an entity going from strength to strength, as it builds up its IR capabilities, very congenial.
Another book of mine, La Nueva India, was published last December in Santiago by El Mercurio/Aguilar. It is the first book in Spanish on contemporary India, and it has been compared to Octavio Paz's Vislumbres de la India. My current project is a book whose working title is 21st Century Democracy Promotion in the Americas, under contract for Routledge. It will appear in their Global Institutions series, and I am writing it with Dr Britta Weiffen, a colleague from the University of Konstanz in Germany. I also like to participate in international public policy debates, and my columns are published by newspapers around the world. In Canada, I write frequently for the The Toronto Star. It was very gratifying when in 2010, three years after my arrival in this country, a group of executives and journalists selected me among the top ten most influential Hispanics in Canada.
In my forty-year professional career, I have lived and worked in four continents. When I moved to Waterloo, I did so from New Delhi, a city of 15 million. The contrast in lifestyles was considerable. As it happens, I find that college towns like Waterloo are more conducive to my writing than big cities. In the eighties, I lived and taught in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, also a college town of 100,000. That was a very fruitful period as well, leading to four books in six years. That said, I am still drawn to the wider world out there. I serve on the editorial boards of seven international affairs journals from five different countries. This gives me a useful window into developments in the field.Much as my alternation between government and academia has been beneficial both for my public service and for my scholarship, I find that my teaching and writing at WLU in Waterloo, where I have had my base since 2007, also benefits from short stints elsewhere. They allow me to recharge my batteries and gather new energies for new projects, of which there seems to be a never-ending supply.

Report to recommend gas tax, other fee increases
Money would pay for transportation funding gap
A report to state lawmakers will recommend increasing the gas tax and raising vehicle registration and driver's license fees.
The Oshkosh Northwestern reported Thursday that the report to be delivered next week will include those options and others as a way to close the state's $2 billion transportation funding gap.
Gov. Scott Walker has said improving the state's infrastructure is one of his priorities, but he is opposed to raising the gas tax.
The report from the Transportation Finance and Policy Commission will recommend a 5-cent increase in the gas tax and tying registration fees to miles traveled.
The recommendations would generate about $479 million a year to pay for road, bridge, airport and other transportation-related projects.
