Feb. 1, 2013
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Tennessee men's and women's swimming and diving teams both lost to Florida in the regular-season finale Friday at Stephen C. O'Connell Center
The fourth-ranked Lady Vols (8-1, 3-1 SEC) took their first loss of the year 167-133 to the seventh-ranked Florida team, while the Vols (4-4, 2-1) fell to the fifth-ranked Gators 208-92.
Both Gator teams were honoring their own seniors both in the ceremony beforehand and the competition, much like the Tennessee squads had done the week before en route to upsetting Georgia.
The Lady Vols won 8 of 16 total events and clocked some of their best times of the season but could not quite match Florida's home pool advantage in the point totals. The Lady Vols won both relays in NCAA qualifying times and the team posted nine B-cut times in individual races.
Senior Kelsey Floyd and sophomore Molly Hannis both stayed unbeaten this season in their signature strokes and led the way for the Lady Vols. Floyd won the 100- and 200-yard butterfly in NCAA B-cut times, and Hannis did the same in the 100 and 200 breaststroke.
"For the women, we had a lot of swims and times that were faster than last week, so I think we're making progress," Tennessee head coach Matt Kredich said. "To be in this environment on their Senior Day, we were competitive out there."
In the men's competition, the Vols won three events, led by victories in the 200 backstroke by freshman Sean Lehane and the 3-meter springboard by senior diver Brent Sterling.
"The Florida men's team is very special," Kredich said. "They're very deep, very good. I'm proud of our guys for staying after it, and I thought we competed very well. There was no real letdown by our guys, even when it was obvious the score wasn't going our way. It was a big step for our men."
Now Tennessee's sights are set on the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships, which start Feb. 19 at Texas A&M.
IN THE MEN'S RACESFreshman Sean Lehane has become a force in the backstroke for the Vols this season, and he led the way again against Florida on Friday. He won the 200-yard backstroke in 1 minute, 45.08 seconds. He also took fourth in the 200 freestyle in 1:39.41.
The Vols' other win off the blocks came from the 200 medley relay team of Samuel Rairden, Renato Prono, Oystein Hetland and Ed Walsh in 1:28.26. Prono had a solid day all around, taking second in the 100 breaststroke in an NCAA B-cut time of 55.01.
"We made some mistakes in different places, and I think it came from being too aggressive," Kredich said. "We didn't quite have the presence I hoped we would have, but I would rather be too aggressive than passive."
Tennessee nearly swept the backstroke. Rairden was just beat out at the wall in the 100 backstroke, finishing in 48.56. He was also third in the 100 freestyle. Walsh also took second in the 50 and 100 freestyle.
IN THE WOMEN'S RACESSenior Kelsey Floyd and sophomore Molly Hannis provided four of the Lady Vols' five individual race wins. All four victories came in NCAA B-cut times.
Floyd won the 100 butterflies in 52.97 and the 200 butterfly in 1:57.93. Hannis won the 100 breaststroke by more than two seconds, touching the wall in 1:01.65. She also enjoyed a strong win in the 200 breaststroke (2:15.17).
"We lost close races, which we never like, but we saw some mistakes exposed that we can clean up," Kredich said. "I like where we are in the last couple weeks heading into secs."
Junior Lindsay Gendron won the 200 freestyle in 1:44.43, edging out Florida's Jamie Bohunicky by .14. She also placed second in the 500 freestyle (4:41.22) and third in the 200 individual medley (2:02.94).
The Lady Vols also racked up an NCAA A-cut time in the 400 freestyle relay. Floyd, Faith Johnson, Harper Bruens and Lindsay Gendron finished in 3:17.20 in victory. The 200 medley relay team of Lauren Solernou, Hannis, Floyd and Caroline Simmons won in a B cut of 1:38.44.
In other NCAA B-cut times: Solernou was second in the 100 backstroke (54.19), Johnson was second in the 50 free (22.79) with Simmons following right behind (22.94).

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
As the personal representative and beneficary of an Estate:
Do I need to have my attorneys approval of the amount of the sale of the decedents home?
With a possible settlement coming,my attorney insists that I spread the money around ie. I pay him, accountants, appraisers all people that he hired to help with the estate first,before I pay the HUGE IRS bill.
Note: I have paid the attorneys bill for the first year in full, and retainer for one of the three appraiser, other two appraisers were paid in full. I was told the estate appraiser would charge about $20K but when I got the bill it was $50K wtih $600 dollars per month in interest accuring. I paid 10K up front. When I challanged the bill I was told "just pay it" I have not paid to date.
I have paid the accountants in full.
The estate is insolvent until this $150K comes through, but I owe $142K to the IRS with interest accuring as well.
Who gets paid first?
This estate has been dragging on for three years this month, and my attorney has not excepted or returned my phone calls for almost six month, however, he will email news from time to time and answer a few of my questions and concerns, but that is slowing down as well. I do owe him $65k.
I have handled all the inquires, montitor all properties, handled rentals, filed the taxes, gathered all info for K-1s for (12 properties) the reading alone is a full time job, meet with the accountants, show the homes for sale personally, maintain the two homes for sale (repairs etc) review all communications between the partners in these 12 properties. They do not communicate with me directly only through their attorney to my attorney.
I did contact my attorney frequently requesting the K-1's for the numerous entities starting back in May and did receive them in late October costing the estate $1,000 more dollars in amendments from the accountants.
Also I was charged $650 for last minute & overnighting an extention for the estate taxes for 2007; only to recieve a bill from the IRS, when I called they did not have that extention on record so now their are fees on top of that, When I emailed all the info asking about this peticuliar situation and requesting their confirmation of extention and wheither it was approved or not they responded with a tracking number and they did say the I should request the late fee removed.I am totally baffled to what to do.
All other properties are facing forecloser or have been sold under what the bank was owed, leaving just the two houses. The estate was only paid on two sold properties which wasl used for start-up fees for the estate.
I myself am intitled to compensation as well, I have been living and breathing this estate for 3 years.
What's a girl to do?
Sorry for the rambling, I need direction ASAP
A girl like you need to meet with another attorney ASAP and see if you need to fire the first one and hire the second. This question is too complicated for this forum but clearly your attorney works for you and you need to fire them.Ask a similar question

Phoenix, AZ. September 9, 1970
By Debbie Lynn Gobins
late July, the night after Tom Jones performed in Phoenix, I was listening to
the news and heard that Elvis was coming to Phoenix. The papers said tickets for
the show would go on sale in late August at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
the meantime, I got many requests for tapings and pictures of Elvis. After
school, when I saw anything in the paper on Elvis, I would go around to our
neighbors and collect any articles on him that I was able to.
I heard on the radio that the tickets were already on sale, and had been for two
days. All of the $10. 00 seats were sold out. Well, I was quite happy to have a
seat at all. That same week, all of the 15, 000 seats were completely sold out.
left two hours before the show was to start. When we got there, there were big
lines of Elvis fans at each of the many entrances the Coliseum has. We waited,
and finally 7:30 came when the doors normally would open... but they did not.
When 8:30 came I started to wonder if Elvis was O.K. I thought that I might not
even get to see the King. But, finally, the doors opened at 8:30. I later found
out that someone had made a prank call stating that there was a bomb set to go
off in the Coliseum at 8:30, when the show was to start.
we made our way to our seats. I was hoping some miracle would take place so that
I could really see Elvis close up, and not a quarter of a mile back.
was sitting in my seat where I would see Elvis do his thing, and watching people
come in by the hundreds when I saw my cousin. He and his friends had seats in
the 13th row.... three of them. I really didn't believe it.
I sat there in my seat anxiously waiting to see Elvis. Ordinarily I don't talk too much... I'm kind of quiet around people I don't know. But tonight was different. I saw some cameras and was wondering if they were the movie cameras so I asked the man next to me. He said they were, and that the cameras would be filming parts of the audience as well as Elvis. A moment later he pointed out Colonel Parker to me. I was kind of curious how he knew so much, so I asked him if he was related to Elvis or the Colonel. He said his wife, Mrs. Wheeler, was the Colonel's niece. I asked him if he ever met Elvis and he said Elvis came. to their ranch in Casa Grand, Arizona. A little while later a man came over to Mrs. Wheeler and gave her three or four large envelopes. She gave me one of them. Inside there was a huge scarf with a picture of Elvis on each of the corners and Summer Festival printed in the center. Also there were three 8 x 10s and two small photos of Elvis, two pens, and a small calendar.

after all of that, the show started. The audience applauded when The Hugh Jarret
Singers came on first, then The Sweet Inspirations with a few inspiring numbers.
Suddenly the announcer said something that made the audience think that Elvis
was coming on... but it was Sammy Shore. When his part of the show was through,
the announcer said there would be a short intermission. The audience was simply
being tortured.
the intermission, Mr. Wheeler introduced me to Linda Martin of Tucson. I knew
her name was familiar and realized that I had written to her. While I was
talking to her, my cousin Ronnie interrupted us, and before I knew it I was
behind stage with many other fans waiting for Elvis to come out. The lights were
turned off on stage and off stage. There was a high gate so that you couldn't
get close to him, but you could see him clearly if the lights were on. My cousin
lifted me up so I could have the best view of Elvis. In the dark, you could see
Elvis' outfit glow a little as he went into some light. The group of fans
backstage were really excited.
the King came on, the audience jumped out of their seats screaming, yelling...
and some were even racing toward the stage. He sang quite a few of his popular
numbers: " That's Alright, Mama, I've Got A Woman, Love Me Tender, I've
Lost You, Lovin' Feeling, Polk Salad Annie, Johnny B. Goode, The Wonder Of You,
In The Ghetto, Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, Bridge Over
Troubled Waters, Suspicious Minds, and Can't Help Falling In Love. " During
" In The Ghetto, " he purposely said, "A funny little boy with a
hungry nose. " The show was so fantastic! ! !
the performance, our family and some other fans went over to the Town House
where he was staying. A couple of his fans were listening to this man with an
Elvis tag on, while he was on the phone. He said to have a car ready in five
fans assumed the car was for Elvis. Then he said to the man on the phone that
everything was smooth after the show. The car Elvis left in was parked right
outside the Coliseum so there would be no problem getting Elvis out. After he
was through on the phone, some fans asked him where Elvis was. He said he didn't
know anything about Elvis.

It's easy to gripe about the dearth of authentic Mexican food in Boston. Mission-style burritos? You might as well be in pursuit of the lost island of Atlantis. But there is a spicy treasure to be found at the vibrant Inman Square eatery OLE MEXICAN GRILL, where chef Erwin Ramos has been whips up bona fide, old-school south-of-the-border recipes that exude epicurean confidence, but never scrimp on fun. (The tableside-made guac is the ultimate sit-down dining-party starter.) With everything from chiles rellenos to seared chile-crusted sea scallops to addictive Baja tacos to a mole poblano sauce that could make a plate of gym socks delicious, it's no surprise that diners seeking a refined gourmet meal are as easily satisfied as anyone in need of a Oaxacan street-food fix.

I'm in baby bootie heaven -- trying different patterns to see which ones I'll make as a gift. I just made one of these http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/bevs-stay-on-booties.html and have a seaming question, so it seems (ha ha).
I did the toe and seamed up the top of the foot part, and now have to seam the front ankle part. This part is two bound-off edges that are side-by-side, and I've only found instructions for bound-off edges that are aligned vertically. Also, I think the finished product would look best with an invisible seam.
Any suggestions?
:?? -
I would just turn it sideways and seam the edges vertically, like normal.
Thanks, Contiknitter. I'm embarrassed!

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Hi KlearGear,
I know you are monitoring this site for negative reviews, so I figured I would post here to get your attention. Tomorrow is Cyber Monday, and the holidays are approaching. I have a teenage daughter, and many geek/science minded friends, and before the holiday started I shopped your site to preview items.
This to let you know I will be NOT ordering the over $300 in merchandise from you that I had planned to purchase from your site. You see, I value good customer service, and customer communication. I do place negative reviews on sites such as Yelp, Google and Ripoff Report (although you have the privilege of being my first here). I do so if the following conditions apply - my concerns were expressed and ignored, the poor service continued unaddressed, and the business did not seem concerned about the customer. Negative reviews are a way for the consumer to get your attention when all other means fail.
It also gives the company to understand its own weaknesses, and a chance to better itself. All businesses can stand to improve, correct? It is also a truth in marketing and business that for every consumer that voices a concern, there are probably at least five others that did not bother - and simply took their business elsewhere rather than give the business notice so they could correct the problem. I also write many positive reviews, and prefer those over the negative (I will write a review on one positive experience, but give a business a few tries before I write a negative). I am sure you understand the value of the positive. It is a shame you seem to fail to see the value of the negative ones as well.
I do understand that many negative reviews are written by people that are disapointed, angry and may not be the most eloquent. The point that should you get from the fact they bothered to post at all is that you have an issue that needs to be corrected, even if it is a simple "I heard you, we are sorry you had a problem" to the customer.
I greatly value my right to free speech. However; I recognize that there are companies that would prefer to hide behind a contract and a questionable point of law (you have lawyers, and money (for now). I do not) rather than admit they have an issue with service or made a mistake with a customer. That is your right as a business. Thankfully I live in a country that allows me to choose where I take my business, and to speak freely about my experience with them.
I will not be spending my money at a business that can place my financial well being, or that of my family, in jeopardy, over a poor review about bad service. Therefore, this is my notice to you that I will not be writing any reviews of your company - good or bad. You will not be getting by business at all, and therefore deserve neither. I have also made certain that the media articles have been posted on your contract disparagement clause. I prefer to shop a business that values its customers, not its skewed idea of itself as being perfect. I know my $300 probably means little to you, and that there are others that will shop with you that may or may not have heard what you have done.
But I wanted you to know I heard about it. I am the one that took the time to write on behalf of all the lost sales. Something tells me it is more than $2500.

The first time I considered that motherhood might not be for me occurred around the time I was 14. I picked up my wailing baby cousin to comfort him. Instead of appreciating my efforts to hoist his 20-odd pounds, he sunk his teeth into my shoulder. With few exceptions since then, children and I have been at odds, and having a few of my own remained out of the question. Upon telling close friends about my then-new job at a parenting publication, the unanimous reaction was: "Wait, really?"
Enter my boyfriend Steve, kid-whisperer extraordinaire. The youngsters adore him. One 3-year-old cousin forgets me entirely to ask if Steve (a.k.a. Blue's Clues—I mean, honestly, she even gave him a nickname!) will be attending the next family function.
Watching him in action, however, often makes me reconsider my no-kids-ever mentality. His effortless interactions ease my what-if anxieties. What if I am awkward? What if my kids hate me? What if I inadvertently raise the next Charlie Sheen? I feel so reassured that I may have even picked out a few names (Madelyn, Olivia, and Miles)...just in case.
And if that time comes, the plan is to adopt. We believe families exist through unconditional love and not necessarily blood relations. Not to mention I don't exactly foresee myself as one of those glowing, radiant pregnant ladies. I will most likely be heinous with uncontrollable cravings for cheese combos and Swedish fish. Steve handles my crazy just fine right now, so why push it? And...I'd get to skip that whole "childbirth thing" and dive into my role as a new mom. Or, perhaps the role Steve envisions: "When we have kids, I'll be 'good cop,' and you will always be 'bad cop.'" Just another thing for our future darlings to look forward to.
Then again, as my colleagues who are moms keep telling me, plans are made to be broken, and those who go into parenthood thinking they know it all are usually the most blindsided. And I must admit, I'm learning an awful lot—about the how-to's, the joys, and the chaos and subsequent striving for balance that seems to be the norm—by interviewing our experts and talking to all the engaged parents who interact with us. So maybe I'll be better prepared as a parent if/when that day comes. Until then, I'm content to keep learning—and watch in awe as so many of you masterful parents juggle what seems to me, for now, impossible.

text: I have a 15 yr old Maytag top load washer that stops during the rinse cycle. I hear a click, then it stops. If I lift the lid and put it back down again, it starts... but then stops again after a few seconds. This happens with almost every load. Sometimes I have to lift the lid once or twice. Sometimes many times. Once through the rinse cycle, it continues on just fine. The timer was replaced about 2 years ago. The lid switch makes a strong clicking noise when the lid is raised and lowered, so I don't know if I should suspect that. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is one of the best examples of Morrisseau's early forays towards a new visual vocabulary. Although a single canvas, it is effectively divided in two halves. The thunderbird and snake at the top create a dramatic combination of these two creatures and a coming together of two spiritual realms, the thunderbird of the upper world and the serpent of the underworld. The two-headed snake extends outwards on each side of the thunderbird's head; its elongated body becomes the backbone of the thunderbird's wings, which then terminate on each side with a head of the snake.

Date of Stay: June, 2012
One of the best parks we've camped at. Campground runs between two streams and if you can get a spot along the stream, it's really nice. You can hear the running water. We had a pull in site, so out our front window was an open, wooded area and stream. Park is peaceful and quiet, and had a gated dog area with trees for shade. There are no bathrooms or showers here so you have to have your own facilities. With full hookups this is not a problem. Access from 441/321 is no problem and there is unlimited things to do in the area. Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Sevierville are all within 10-15 miles. Smokey Mountain National Park nearby, scenic roads, Cades Cove, and hiking trails.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
We enjoyed this campground, simple, quiet and very nice owners. Access is a narrow road but we were able to get in with a 38 ft RV and a tow car. Site had 50 amp & sewer and was relatively level. Park has a nice setting with a stream. Easy access to Murphy and several scenic byways, Hiwassee Lake, Dragons Tail, Nantahala Gorge

Websearch.good-results.info Description
Websearch.good-results.info is a low quality search engine. Websearch.good-results.info uses a simple layout with a search box over a white background. Below the search box one can usually find a sponsored advertisement. The site shows poorly regulated advertisements, such as advertisements for 'make money from home' services that involve filling out surveys and that are actually well known scams. It is important to point out that searches carried out using Websearch.good-results.info will usually result in a list of sponsored links and irrelevant search results that are actually paid for by advertisers. This in itself would not be much of a problem if it weren't for the tactics being used to direct computer users to the Websearch.good-results.info website. Various computer users have complained of browser redirects forcing them to visit Websearch.good-results.info against their will. These are usually caused by a browser hijacker infection, a malware infection that should be disabled right away with the collaboration of a strong anti-malware program.
Scams involving browser redirects to websites containing low quality search engines and high numbers of advertisements are quite common. ESG security researchers have observed a marked increase in these kinds of scams in recent years. There are various symptoms associated with malware used to redirect computer users to the Websearch.good-results.info website. If your machine is showing any symptoms from the list compiled below, ESG malware researchers strongly recommend the use of a strong anti-malware program to ensure that a browser hijacker has not infected your computer:
- Computer users have complained that browser hijackers associated with Websearch.good-results.info change their homepage, default search engine and other preset Web pages on their browser without authorization.
- Browser redirects to Websearch.good-results.info are, of course, the most recognizable symptoms of these kinds of attacks. Most of these kinds of redirects occur following the execution of a search on a genuine search engine or clicking on a link.
- Browser hijackers associated with Websearch.good-results.info may cause the appearance of pop-up windows and questionable error messages on the affected Web browser.
- One symptom of these kinds of malware attacks that is often overlooked is how they affect system performance. If your connection speed is significantly reduced or if your computer is behaving erratically, then there may be malware on your computer. This, coupled with Websearch.good-results.info redirects is an apparent evidence of a browser hijacking Trojan.

Pope Francis continued his outreach to Jews this week, reaffirming a commitment to fighting discrimination and furthering Jewish-Catholic dialogue.
During an audience at the Vatican Thursday with a 60-member delegation from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Francis said that he has "repeated many times, in recent weeks, the Church's condemnation of any form of anti-Semitism."
Such condemnations were just part of the solution, he said, noting that Christians remain persecuted in some regions.
"I would like to underline that the problem of intolerance must be faced in its entirety," he said. "When any minority is persecuted and marginalized on account of its religious beliefs or ethnic origin, the good of society as a whole is placed in danger, and we must all consider ourselves affected."
The Church has raised particular alarm about discrimination and violence against Christians in some Arab countries.
"Let us unite our strengths to promote a culture of encounter, of mutual respect, understanding and forgiveness," Francis said, stressing that education was key in transmitting experience, and not merely knowledge, to the younger generation.
"We must be able to transmit to them not only knowledge about Jewish-Catholic dialogue, about the difficulties overcome and the progress made in recent decades," Francis said. "We must, above all, be able to transmit to them our passion for encounter and knowledge of the other, promoting the active and responsible involvement of young people."
During the audience, Wiesenthal Center dean Rabbi Marvin Hier called the pope "an ally in our struggles against anti-Semitism."
"We want to reiterate to you that you have an ally in the Simon Wiesenthal Center in your struggle to secure the rights of religious minorities everywhere, especially endangered historic Christian communities in Egypt, Iraq and beyond," Hier said.
He said the he hoped that Francis's expected visit to Israel next year would "help all those committed to a lasting Middle East peace, to finally recognize the existence of a Jewish state alongside her twenty-three Arab neighbors."
The pope has said he would like to visit the Holy Land next year but no date has yet been announced.

I've lived on the Border, and I agree. It's way past time to close the spigot and stop the flow of illegals...regardless of nationality.
My primary concern is, if our border is so easily penetrated by relatively unsophisticated working-class South Americans, how easy would it be for sophisticated, well-financed terrorist-type folks to cross over?
The illegal immigrant problem is nothing short of a glaring neon sign showing a major weakness in our national security.
Washington has to accept that Northern Mexico is a failed state and has become a defacto "Narco State" which is controled by forces outside of the Mexician Government. The Mexician Government has in fact been fighting a guerrilla war against the trafficers for the past 4 years.

Brother you sure got that right. I really love those that say being a Illegal alien isn't a crime, YES IT IS! just like shop lifting may not seam like that big a crime, it is still illegal and cost businesses millions each year. Those that are hear illegally cause a drain our society and don't contribute by paying taxes, they are literally steeling our children's future.

This has got to stop, and I would beg any of you accusing this movement of racism, please, please, ask any naturalized citizen what they think of illegal immigration. No matter what the color of their skin, they almost unanimously agree, they don't want them here!!
They make a mockery of the ones who jumped through the hoops and did everything right to get their green card! Of course, you're not going to see any of them interviewed on MSNBC anytime soon. That time space is reserved for the "reverend" Al Sharpton and his ilk so they can inform us all about how this nothing but racism and fascism,and how Arizona is the beginning of the Fourth Reich.
Personally, I believe that if they start using violence as they've promised to against American citizens and businesses, this needs to be considered an unsanctioned act of warfare aginst America, and treated as such.

This entire crisis is the direct result Washington's pursuit of greater power and money.
Power-- the votes of a dependent and largely-uneducated underclass.
money-- from the lobbyists of businesses/corporations profiting from cheap labor.
And it's reaching a tipping point now...as seen with this weekend's mass rallies.

Well said Biker, I don't understand why a state had to declare illegal immigration to be illegal. We've got a huge problem and it's lon past the time our leaders should have done something about it. I'm all for immigration, done properly the way most of our ancestors did.

It is my firm belief that if the Federal and State governments don't do something soon, people will take matters into their own hands. A lot of people could disappear in the desert if no one can legally report them missing. It would be tragic, but I feel it will be inevitable if nothing is done by the governments.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Fresh of being spurned by Johnny Damon, the Red Sox entered Friday 5.5 games back of the Yankees and Rays in the AL East and Wild Card. Damon was not in the lineup. Neither was Manny Ramirez, who was claimed by the Sox (the ones in Chicago) earlier in the day. So, it looks like what you see with the Red Sox lineup (one without Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, and Jacoby Ellsbury) is what you get.
Coming off the worst start of his career, Jon Lester turned in a dominant performance on Friday night in one of the biggest games this year for the Red Sox. Lester allowed just one unearned run over seven innings. He was throwing all over the strike zone, and out of it, as he finished with just two hits allowed with five walks and 10 strikeouts. Terry Francona turned to Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon, who despite some trouble in the ninth, slammed the door on the Rays for the 3-1 victory.
Perhaps the biggest story of the game was Victor Martinez, who clocked two home runs off Rays All-Star lefty David Price, who may be in line to win the Cy Young Award. Victor finished 3-4 in all, and knocked in two of the three runs on those two solo shots. The Sox scored their other run on an RBI single by Jed Lowrie in the fourth inning.
Darnell McDonald, who tripled, was the unsung hero of the game (as usual). He came up with a clutch outfield assist, gunning down B.J. Upton at home plate. Upton would have tied the game at 2, but instead he was out, and Martinez homered the next half inning to give the Sox a key insurance run.
In a contract year, Martinez has a lot to play for the rest of the way. He had a tough time for a while trying to find his way back from his hand and foot injuries, but if Friday's performance is any indication, he should be able to step up the rest of the way.
Hall has had a very surprising season, but Friday was not one of his better nights. He finished 0-3 with three strikeouts.
W: Jon Lester (14-8)
L: David Price (15-6)
SV: Jonathan Papelbon (33)

|Lauren Gregg, Frog & Toad, 5 in. x 7 in., cel vinyl on illustration board.
This illustration was actually a painting for my friend and fellow illustrator Meg Hunt! She curated an art show for her wedding (best idea ever), and had over 50 illustrators make tiny paintings about love for her and her husband. At the time I was revisiting books from my childhood, and when I got to this part in Frog and Toad Are Friends, I started crying like a little baby:
"I am happy. I am very happy. This morning when I woke up I felt good because the sun was shining. I felt good because I was a frog. And I felt good because I have you for a friend. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to think about how fine everything is."
It's the most perfect example of love and friendship I think I've ever read, and I immediately picked up my paintbrush and got to it.
How did you relate to books as a kid, and how did they influence you becoming an illustrator?
I loved books as a kid, like most kids growing up in the early 80s. The book fair at school was the best day of the year. Also you could read books and get free pizza from Pizza Hut through their "Book-It" program, so basically books were the best. In second grade I told my teacher I wanted to take over for Jim Davis [the creator of Garfield] when he gets too old. That same year I wrote a story called "The Little Dog Floppy" and my dad helped me bind it and turn it into an actual book! I always wanted to be an illustrator, from the second I found out it was a job I could have. My path was pretty simple. I was always real serious about art class (math class not so much), and went to the Ringling School of Art and Design and majored in Illustration. I graduated and realized that yes, drawing is pretty much the only thing I know how to do, so I just stuck with it. And with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears (mostly tears and not so much blood), I've been able to make a living from it!
Did you read Frog and Toad growing up? What was your impression of the stories?
I did, but it certainly didn't hit me the way it has as an adult. I liked it because it was kinda old time-y and cute that these little forest animals wore jaunty little outfits and rode bikes and stuff. Now when I read it my heart just swells. Maybe it's because I've experienced friendships like these, and Lobel [Arnold Lobel, author and illustrator of Frog and Toad] just nails it.
You work with one of your best friends through a professional partnership called "Kangaroo Alliance." How did your friendship translate to a working relationship, and how do you compare collaboration to working alone?
Craig Sheldon (best friend and animator supreme) and I met our freshman year of college, and we just became the best of friends right off the bat. Our years of adventures together and inside jokes upon inside jokes finally led to us saying "let's combine our powers and make a cool thing!" We made little animations that were maybe only funny to us, and then eventually we ended up getting an animation rep, and got to do REALLY cool things like animations for Yo Gabba Gabba, and even TV commercials for homeless pets and stuff! Collaborating with Craig is the best. We get where each other is coming from, and his skill in animation is just so on point. Working alone can be lonely! It's nice to be able to do whatever you want whenever you want, but I'll still always get Craig's opinion on whatever I'm working on if I'm solo. Good friends are just the best!
Lauren Gregg is an illustrator who has lived in a couple places. She makes paintings by herself and animations with her best friend (called Kangaroo Alliance). She has made things for clients such as Nickelodeon, Disney Television, and Yo Gabba Gabba. Her paintings have hung in galleries in various cities across the United States of America since 2003. She can be found either taking a nap, petting a dog, eating a pizza, or looking at things!

Emulating Snow Leopard?
I have a MacPro laptop running Snow Leopard and the last version of Quicken before it moved to Quicken Essentials. I also have an iMac running Lion with Quicken Essentials.
I'd like to upgrade the laptop to Lion but will then no longer be able to open Quicken. In order to preserve the investment history information that is only in the older version of Quicken, can I use VMWare and install a Snow Leopard virtual machine? (I have a VMWare license both on the laptop and the iMac).
Thanks much.

When he creates something by the word "BE" he ordain for it laws, guidance and shows it his purpose through -out it development. When we abide by the Creator's instructions we fit in perfectly in his creation with honor. Abdallah ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him, prayed to Allah, "My Lord, help me and do not turn against me. Grant me victory, and do not grant victory over me. Plan on my behalf and do not plan against me. Guide me, and make the guidance easy for me. Grant me victory over those who act wrongfully toward me. O Allah, make me grateful to You, mindful of You, in awe of You, devoted to your obedience, humble, penitent, and ever turning to You in repentance.

Over at the American Thinker, William Tate has a good post on how the New York Times, which is currently scourging the Bush Administration over concerns it's "abusing" surveillance powers, blythely ignored evidence of greater "abuse" of such powers by the Clinton Administration. Here's an excerpt from the conclusion:
[D]uring the Clinton Administration, evidence existed (all of the information used in this article was available at the time) that: an invasive, extensive domestic eavesdropping program was aimed at every U.S. citizen; intelligence agencies were using allies to circumvent constitutional restrictions; and the administration was selling at least some secret intelligence for political donations.
These revelations were met by the New York Times and others in the mainstream media by the sound of one hand clapping. Now, reports that the Bush Administration approved electronic eavesdropping, strictly limited to international communications, of a relative handful of suspected terrorists have created a media frenzy in the Times and elsewhere.

On the subject of last week's item about the Reverend Fred Nile wanting the NSW Legislative Council to officially be known as the State Senate, meaning he would have the title of Senator Nile, a reader has spotted a serious problem.
''If we indulge him,'' Mickey Pragnell writes, ''and his fellow legislative councillors get the honorific they crave, they'll be addressed as 'Senator A', 'Senator B' etc. When this title is abbreviated in the media, in official documents, etc - as it inevitably will be - they'll become Sen A etc. Fred of course will be 'Sen Nile'.'' Bingo! Genius. Let's do it.
On a similar note, another reader points out the pitfalls of electing Cardinal Angelo Scola as the next leader of the Catholic Church. Could the world cope with a ''Pope Scola''?
Going one better
On the subject of the Pope, TFF has been bemused to find myself accused of being ignorant of the finer points of theology. Guilty as charged, your honour! And proudly so.
Though I suspect I know as much as the next loudmouth, having sat through years of divinity, chapel, church and even two years of religious studies lectures at Sydney Uni (only because I failed the first year, mind). I do love the line from the American intellectual Sam Harris, who once noted: ''Theology is now little more than a branch of human ignorance.'' Most amusing is those who defend theology most vociferously are those who have embraced just one theological belief, while totally rejecting all other theologies as complete nonsense.
To use an old line, we're actually not that different - I have rejected just one more than them.
There is an amusing riff going on in the US part of the Twittersphere, where twerps give tips on how you might know if you're a Republican or not. Perhaps the best came from Will Ferrell, with this effort.
''#YouMightBeARepublican if you want church at school, school at home and guns at all three.'' And there are tens of thousands more, like these. ''#YouMightBeARepublican: If the passage of ObamaCare made you think about moving to Canada who actually provides Universal Health Coverage'' … ''If u say ur a Christian but ur pro: war, death penalty, assault weapons, corporations, & anti-helping the poor'' … ''If you claim independence & personal responsibility & follow it up by blaming everything wrong in your life on Obama.'' Any takers for #YoumightbeaLiberal or #Youmightbe4Labor?
Scenes from the city
It is a Tuesday morning, just before 8.30, at the entrance to Ashfield Station. In all the hustle and bustle of the morning commute, people dash to catch their trains, most of them grim-faced and as connected to some form of electronic media as they are disconnected from each other. Suddenly, amid it all, she appears.
She is a ''little old lady'' just like grandma used to make - and even as grandma used to be - the kind you rarely see any more. Tiny, no higher than five feet tall in the old money, most striking is her attire - straight out of the 1950s. She is immaculate, with white gloves, a hat, beautiful pearl earrings, carefully coiffed grey hair, lovely handbag, cute little old lady shoes, stockings, and the most beautiful overcoat. ''She looked amazing,'' reader Vanessa Galloway reports, ''so much love and care had [gone] into her presentation. A true lady.'' Many commuters notice her and pause, reminded of life way back, when whole battalions of women just like this used to make their way to Sunday church. But now what? For here comes an attractive commuter in her early 20s, dressed in the modern fashion of black pants and top, her red hair tied loosely in a pony tail, and she is approaching her.
''I just have to say,'' the young woman says, loud enough for many to hear, ''you look absolutely beautiful.'' In response, the little old lady graciously smiles, nods her thanks, and they go their separate ways.
Singing centenary
Bravo to the 88-strong Sydney Male Choir on their centenary year. I have the honour of being an ambassador for the choir, oddly enough, despite my mother, on her deathbed, using her last gasp of energy to beg me not to sing the hymns with my brothers and sisters. To celebrate the centenary, the Governor Marie Bashir hosted a reception for them at Government House on Tuesday night where they lifted the roof, singing three numbers before the champagne flowed free. Formed in Petersham in 1913, they were the first choir to sing at the Anzac Day Dawn Service at the Cenotaph, and have sung there every year since. This Anzac Day, as part of a two-week tour of Europe, they will be singing at Villers-Bretonneux, doing us proud.
Joke of the week
Just got off the phone from a friend, living in northern Denmark. He said that since early this morning it has been snowing - it's nearly waist deep and still falling. The temperature is dropping way below zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale force. His troublesome teenage son has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and stare. If it gets much worse, he may have to let him in.

10% of China restaurant meals use 'oil' from drains and gutters
Just when you'd dodged or denied every doubt about your favorite roadside stir fry, another palate spoiler has made its way to the dinner table.
A recent student investigation in Wuhan led by tireless food crusader Professor He Dongping has revealed 2-3 million tons of 'swill oil' makes its way back to our rice boxes and meals out each year. It is usually sold as pig feed.
And we're not talking recycled cooking oil (as in the proper way), but stuff from the country's drains and gutters treated to look like edible cooking oil in a lucrative night-time operation. One of the components of this swill oil is aflatoxin, a potent carcinogen. Yummy.
This 'distilled sewage' is then sold on, and the study estimates one in 10 of China's restaurants use it to cook their food. Diners might be torn on what to find more disturbing -- the thought of consuming swill oil or the fact that this illicit practice has been an 'open secret' in the food industry for some time. ChinaSmack even reported on the practice last year, with some pretty unappetizing pics.
Kind of makes the other bad-food story to have emerged recently, that of a dodgy dealer in White Rabbit Creamy Candy selling tons of product that was five years past its expiry date, look rather tame and fluffy in comparison.

Site: Madison, Wis. (Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course)
Meet: Wisconsin adidas Invitational (5,000 meters)
U-M Finish: Fifth of 12 Teams (118 points)
Top U-M Individual: Kaitlyn Peale, 4th (17:12)
Next U-M Event: Friday, Oct. 16 -- at Penn State National (State College, Pa.), 11 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. -- In its first scored meet of the season, the University of Michigan women's cross country team claimed fifth place (118 points) at the Wisconsin adidas Invitational on Saturday (Oct. 3) at the Badgers' new Thomas Zimmerman Championship Cross Country Course. Junior/sophomore Kaitlyn Peale (Columbus, Ohio/Upper Arlington HS) paced the Wolverine squad with her third top-10 finish of the season, claiming fourth place with a personal-best 17:11.3.
Four of Michigan's top-five runners established career-best times, including a trio of freshmen -- Kaitlyn Patterson (Cadillac, Mich./Cadillac HS), Rebecca Addison (Spring Lake, Mich./Grand Haven HS) and Jillian Smith (Manahawkin, N.J./Southern Regional HS) -- who crossed the finish line within a narrow 13-second window in 16th, 24th and 30th place, respectively. All three U-M rookies have placed among their team's top five in each completed appearance this season.
Senior Jenny Morgan (Clarkston, Mich./Clarkston HS) rounded out Michigan's scoring contingent in 50th place, clocking 18:06.6 in her first completed race of the 2009 season.
Maintaining the quick opening pace, the Wolverines stayed together through the mile marker. The field had already begun to string out about a kilometer earlier, and Peale took advantage, making her way from back in the pack to the lead group. She hung with the leaders as they separated from the field and settled into fourth place, maintaining her position down the stretch.
The Wolverines will return to competition on Friday, Oct. 16, at the Penn State National in State College, Pa. Hosted by the Nittany Lions, the women's 6,000-meter race is scheduled for an 11 a.m. start at the Blue-White Golf Course.

Michigan Head Coach Mike McGuire
On the team's performance ... "It was a good, solid race. Kaitlyn [Peale] ran a tremendous race, certainly the best of her career to this point. I think it was a good breakthrough for her. It was also a great race from [Kaitlyn] Patterson, and I though Becca Addison and Jillian Smith have continued to show great improvement from race to race. The pace was quick early on, and we showed poise and competitiveness moving through the pack. Kaitlyn did an especially good job working through the crowd."
On the immediate success of the freshmen ... "Kaitlyn Patterson has been really solid. I'm pleasantly surprised by it, but at the same time, she finished her high school career with a big PR and a good summer. Jillian [Smith] and [Becca] Addison are continuing to get better. They both raced late into the track season, so they aren't coming off the same type of base. I really like what I'm seeing from them."
On Michigan's fourth-place finish ... "This was a much higher level today. The quality of the depth in the field was considerably better. I like how they responded to it; I though they rose up to the quality of competition."
U-M Junior/Sophomore Kaitlyn Peale
On her race ... "We took it out pretty comfortably while several others went out a bit hard, so I just stayed in good position. I moved up around 2K; it broke up pretty soon after that. I moved when the leaders began to separate, went with them. It felt really comfortable."

Solicitor Hilda Amoo-Gottfried has been granted leave for judicial review of a decision by a Legal Aid Board London area committee banning her from the South London duty solicitor scheme. London number one committee's decision in April 1993 was countermanded by a direction to reinstate her from the board's national committee in April 1995. The London committee has so far not complied with the direction. Mr Justice Popplewell immediately granted an expedited hearing. In August 1993 Amoo-Gottfried was ordered by Mr Justice Scott-Baker to pay £6,250 to a former client after she admitted her firm's negligence contributed to the client being convicted of two criminal offences.
Herbert Smith plugs in to power contract

The Magnox work is an on-going appointment with work including supply contracts, licensing, environmental, tax, employment and pensions. Herbert Smith was advising Scottish Nuclear. Clifford Chance, Nuclear Electric's solicitors, was appointed to the holding company.
Levitt prosecution faces complaints at Bar
In the wake of the Roger Levitt trial scandal, complaints will be lodged at the Bar Council over the alleged professional misconduct of all three prosecution barristers in the 1993 trial. Levitt's former solicitor John Perry, a partner at Goldkorn Davies Mathias, and John Marshall, Conservative MP for Hendon South, are drafting formal complaints against the prosecution team of David Cocks QC, Jonathan Fisher and Jane Bewsey, all of 5 King's Bench Walk, for their alleged role in the misleading of Parliament and, in Cocks' case, also of public comments about the role of trial judge Mr Justice Laws. MPs on Parliament's treasury select committee accused the Serious Fraud Office of bungling the trial and of being misled by Cocks over its conduct.

Group tackles motorists over smog
The environmental law and resource centre Earthrights has issued a compensation claim to the Motor Insurers Bureau on behalf of an asthma sufferer who was confined to her bed for two days after an asthma attack triggered by smog. The bureau handles compensation claims on behalf of untraceable drivers and Londoner Brendalyn Fougeras-Lavergnolle is blaming her attack on motorists who ignored a government warning to leave their cars at home during a recent smog alert. Earthrights solicitor John Dunkley said: "The claim rests on the fact that a large number of drivers took no notice of the Government warning and used their cars negligently."

Many organisations struggle with aligning organisation development through improved Human Capital management. This is because the application of organisation development via behavioural science (such as Employee Engagement processes) is difficult to link to financial outcomes and is therefore hard to quantify. While the link between organisation development and performance management is well understood, it is difficult to build and sustain Talent Management systems to help drive organisation development over the longer term. PeopleStreme provides organisation development systems and workplace communication services to help achieve long term sustainable advantage through :
Strategy Alignment
The leaders are driving the organisation somewhere and the strategy is the path they are following. A lot of research now indicates that the leadership team is highly conversant with the strategy but the message becomes seriously diluted as we move through the organisation to grass roots workers. PeopleStreme are experts at dealing with this problem by providing Strategy Mapping Executive facilitation. This helps the Executive team understand their own part in achieving the organisation strategy and creates a diagramatic strategy representation which is intuitively understood by most managers and employees.
Employee Engagement
Advanced Talent Management tools are now needed in order to identify existing employees with high employee involvement and employee commitment and those without. Blanket engagement surveys are impersonal and don't help reduce unplanned turnover, especially of top talent. Employee engagement and retention of top talent can only be improved if managers can easily see what's going on in their own teams. Through graphical reporting, managers are better able to direct their development budgets, know who needs the focus of their attention and who is likely to leave the organisation.
Line Manager Buy In
Like it or not, the management team can make or break any organisation initiative. Today, line managers are under significant pressure to better engage and develop their teams. Unfortunately they often receive mixed messages from their own managers or the executive team, who themselves are often in fire-fighting mode. Line managers need clear communication, so that they understand precisely what is expected of them. They also need the tools and skills required to properly direct the work effort of their teams. PeopleStreme helps solve these problems by providing software and consulting services to help managers set Business Unit goals and to open up the lines of communication with both their superiors and their team members.
Software Solution Flexibility
Organisation Development professionals understand that when it comes to HR systems, one size does not fit all. More so, few suppliers are willing to make changes to their software or customise consulting services to suit the tried and tested systems of the organisation. PeopleStreme is almost unique in that we work with OD managers to tailor a consulting and software solution that is the best fit for the organisation. In special cases, PeopleStreme will also pre-build the software to the customer requirement and demonstrate it before purchase.
