Pros: Bought this enclosure to use an 80GB Sata HDD that I replaced. The port works fine, and as far as I can tell, temperature is not terrible. It is not a show stopper, since a piece of electrical tape works just fine, it is just that the product should come with everything needed to use it properly. Cons: High price, but have good quality. Bottomline: All I know is that I paid $124.99 for this enclosure and it worked well enough to recover data from a dead laptop. The product gets a five star rating for a data recovery job accomplished.

Professional Wrestling April 1929
this wiki
Home - 1929 - Previous month - Next month
WRESTLING PROMOTER INVADES TORONTO (The Globe, Toronto ON, April 26, 1929): Wrestling trusts, alleged and otherwise, mean nothing in the life of Ivan Michailoff, former Olympic Games champion, who has turned promoter. Mr. Mickailoff has made arrangements with the Arena Gardens management to hold bouts here every Saturday night, and he plans to bring such stalwarts as Paul Berlenbach, Stanislaus Zbyszko, "Strangler" Lewis and Gus Sonnenberg to Toronto. Wrestling has never been a popular sport in the Queen City, and it would be well for those behind the venture to remember that Toronto demands the best, and will not tolerate trusts or hippodroming stunts. Just at the present time Sonnenberg is supposed to be the greatest of them all. He uses unique methods in the ring, one of his favorite holds being gained after making a regular football flying tackle. In winning the title he threw Lewis right out of the ring at Boston, and Lewis declined to return. It might be mentioned, too, that Canada has a contender for the laurels in Henry Deglane, who claims nineteen consecutive victories. He weighs over 200 pounds, and is said to be a real menace to the best grapplers in the world.

Chapter SixteenMature
Chapter Fifteen
The music is loud, banging and I'm right up front, staring at the lead singer, and his eyes are staring down at me, intense.
Everyone around me is moshing, jumping and dancing, clothes are being thrown, people are falling down, and fights are ensuing, but I'm just standing there, right in front of him, staring at his beautiful eyes.
Someone yells my name, and I look away, and then the song ends, and I look up and see… Matt.
"Wake up, Lucy, wake up!"
Something catches in my face, and my eyes open up and I awkwardly swat at it to get it out of my face, and then I look up and my father is standing in the doorway.
"Ugh, what?" I groan, letting my arm rest on my forehead, laying back down, tired…
"Your tutor, the weird guy," they're all weird guys, "apparently needs you to meet him earlier today, so wake up, and clean up."
I look down at the clean… ish towel on my floor that he had thrown at me, and pick it up, and start walking groggily out of my bedroom and into the hallway, where Carson and Jessie are bickering outside of the bathroom, and then Carson looks up at me, with this dark and…. Crazed look in his eye, and then walks off, into his bedroom.
"Ugh," Jessie moans, dressed in her pajama's already, with her make up and hair bags in her arms and walks into the bathroom, shutting it behind her, so I just lean against the wall next to the bathroom door, as tired as can be….
"Ahh!" Jessie screams, jolting me… alert, but not really awake. I reach for the doorknob and twist it, but she locked it, so I twist it to the left twice, right once, and the left once more really quickly, and the old thing budges open, and there, in our white and tiled bright bathroom, is Jessie, crawling in a corner of the shower and screaming all of her oxygen out of herself, and then I look over to where she's staring at, and there – in the opposite corner, on the inside ledge of the bathroom window, is a huge, friggin' dark papa bear spider.
"You've got to be kidding me," I groan and walk over the window, and hunch over the little fella. "Hey," I say, cooing him as I lay my hand out in front of him and try to scoot him onto my palm. "Come on, little guy – little guy, what's your name? Is it Charlie? Scotty – Yeah, Scotty, that sounds good," and now he's on my palm, and with my other hand I open the window, budging it open as Jessica continues to scream, but I ignore her and her ignorance, and let the little guy out of the house, and on his own way.
"Ahh!" Jessie screams, and now I can't take it.
"He's out, okay, Jess?" I snap back at her, and she's just in the corner of the bathtub, soaking wet because in her effort of refuge, she somehow turned the shower head on and now it's pouring all over her and over her fully dressed body, and I walk over there and turn off the water and sit in the tub with her, and she's sobbing now, but it's really weird, it's like she's in shock, because she's shaking all over, and crying and screaming, all at the same time.
"It's okay, Jess," I say, as soothingly as I can in this situation and pull her closer to me, her head on my chest. "It's okay," I say and kiss the top of her head.
I've never been afraid of… anything.
Anything I can remember.
I just remember when I was, oh, I don't know, I was either five or six, maybe seven, wait no – I'm thinking of something else. I was about two or three when I first met a spider, and Connor was just born or about a year old, either way, he was just a little baby, and I remember we were hanging out in our old sandbox, him in his little toy thing, and me in my swimsuit, making towers and castles with my little buckets, and out of nowhere he started to cry, and as his big sister I stood up and walked over to my little baby brother, and there he was, crying and crying because of the little spider on his chest.
"It's okay, baby brother," I told him, and scooped up the little guy, and let it rest in my palm as I stared at it myself. "I won't let anything hurt you," I told him as I let the spider loose in the sandbox, and it immediately started to crawl away… so cute.
Everyone else was scared of spiders, and I… wasn't. I remember my friends scared to go into Hot Topic in the…. In the third grade, on a field trip to the mall, and I wasn't, and because I stood up and said I would go in there alone, Chloe and J.J. went in with me, and then we all got in trouble, for leaving the group, and our teacher had yelled at us…
I only ever remember being scared of dolls, and of Voodoo, and that's because I watched this movie, this really weird movie, when I was a kid, something – something like My Teacher Ate My Homework, I don't know, it was something weird that I still don't get, and because of that movie, I'm terrified of dolls.
My mom would always want to go to Chicago, to visit her friends from high school and all, and go to American Girl, but I… I went in there and started screaming. I started screaming until my mother took me out of the building, and then I was crying, and then I never wanted her to let go of me.
After my tutoring session, he drives me home and I make myself a grilled cheese, open up a bag of chips, and a can of peaches, and sit in front of my TV, flipping between The Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, The Cartoon Network, and USA.
Such a wonderful life, where I can watch TV all day and say it's homework.

Sexual rights, parental responsibilities and the punishment of women who have undergone illegal abortions were among key areas of disagreement between conservative and liberal negotiators at the UN World Conference on Women in Peking last night.These issues appear in the section on health, the most disputed part of a "Platform for Action" which must be agreed by Thursday.
Ambassador Merwat Tallawy, the Egyptian chairwoman of the committee on health issues, said the group was still ''far from any agreement'' over a paragraph on ''sexual rights''. Such an expression has not been used before in a UN document, and in the draft wording is defined as an individual's right to ''have control over and decide freely on matters related to her or his sexuality, free of coercion, discrimination and violence''. Negotiations were continuing into the night. ''It is a very sensitive area if you take into account the various background and culture of each region,'' said Ms Tallawy.
As the 12-day conference enters its final stages, the last battle-lines are being drawn between Western countries pushing to expand individual rights, and Islamic and Catholic countries who want more emphasis on marriage, motherhood and the family. The non-binding platform tries to draw together the most difficult agreements reached at the 1993 Vienna conference on human rights and last year's Cairo international meeting on population and development.
Half of the 438 ''brackets'' in the text have still not been agreed, but officials say negotiations are on schedule.
In practice, countries have the rights to lodge ''reservations'' if they do not agree with the final wording. Arguments over the provision of health and sex education for adolescents have centred on the question of parents' right to control such information.
On the question of ''reviewing laws containing punitive measures against women who have undergone illegal abortions'', there is ''only one delegation or two'' holding up agreement, said Ms Tallawy. The main block is believed to come from an Islamic state.
There would be no dilution of wording agreed in Cairo. But the platform is also trying to introduce new concepts. ''Sexual orientation'', a phrase which appears in the human rights section, has yet to have an agreed use or definition. Still in dispute is action on legal safeguards ''to prevent discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation or lifestyle''.
Over the weekend, the Vatican, which heads a Catholic lobby of countries including Malta, Guatemala and Honduras, criticised the European Union's stance on the family and religion. The Vatican rejects the plurality of the phrase ''family structures'', saying it condones single-parent and same-sex couple families. It accused the EU of being part of an ''active coalition'' which wanted to remove all but negative references to religion.
The other subjects of contention are human rights and the financial resources which will be available to implement the Platform for Action. On human rights, countries such as China and Iran are lobbying against the ''universality'' of rights, saying that human rights differ according to culture. Some Islamic countries are arguing for ''equity'' rather than ''equality'', saying that women and men have different rights.
On the issue of money, the question whether there will be ''new and additional'' resources is still under negotiation, but the document will probably stress the need for the reallocation of existing money. The final sentence of the Platform, on the ''mobilisation of additional resources from within the UN regular budget'' is in brackets.

Daytona 500
Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Aflac Ford brings a two-race win streak dating back to last season into Sunday's Daytona 500 where he looks for victory for the first time. Edwards will start 22nd in the 500 and answered questions from the media on Friday.
CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BEING IN DAYTONA SO FAR, THE RULES CHANGES, THE CARS AND WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED GOING INTO SUNDAY? "I think we have all kind of seen what is going on with the two-car drafts and we got to run yesterday, Greg and I had a lot of time in the Gatorade race to try to learn about that and I feel like we did. I don't think anyone really knows how the race is going to be on Sunday. Have you guys heard if they are talking about any rules changes yet? Nobody has said anything? I don't think we are going to have much more time on the track to look at what things are going to be like. We have seen what it is going to look like, generally. I feel like if that is how we are going to race, then we are prepared."
WITH THE APPARENT EMPHASIS OF THE NEW ENGINE ON COOLING PROPERTIES, DO YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT BEING ABLE TO DRAFT LONGER BASED ON WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN OUT THERE? "I feel like Matt (Kenseth) showed us in the first qualifier, by pushing the 29 car, showed us what could be done by sticking the nose out there a little bit. I did not push anyone for a long period of time, so I didn't get to see the temperatures and how it worked. I believe that one of the positive things about this FR9 that I didn't really think much about until we got down here, is that it cools better or at least seems to. That could be really beneficial for us on Sunday. I still don't think we have taxed these engines long enough to know where the breaking point is. We will find that out Sunday. Guys will be running right at the upper limit of temperature and RPM's and I think engine failures will become a big part of the race. That FR9 engine seems to be one that can stay cooler, which is great."
IT HAS BEEN A BUSY OFF SEASON, HOW GOOD WILL IT FEEL TO GET OUT ON THE TRACK SUNDAY AND HAVE THE SEASON OFFICIALLY BEGIN? "This season kind of snuck up on me. We had a really busy off season with a lot going on at the shop and traveling with my family. It feels like it has come really fast. I am excited though for it to get started. I am really excited about hopefully getting out of Daytona with a good finish and then Phoenix; we could not be going to a better track for us right off the bat. Vegas should also be great. I don't know about you guys, but there is something about this season that feels different to me. It feels like all the teams and drivers and NASCAR and even the media are all positive. There is a lot of positive energy and coming off last season I am really excited about this one."
YOU MENTIONED PHOENIX, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE THAT TRACK AFTER THE UPCOMING RACE, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? "I will be out there laying in front of the excavating equipment trying to get them to leave it. I really like that surface a lot. Everything they have done out there through the years has been better. The way they changed the outside wall off of turn two was good change at the time. I really liked that wall, I thought it was neat. I feel like the pavement will be positive. No matter how hard you try, I don't think you can mess that race track up. It is the right size, the sun beats down and it gets slippery. It will be neat with the new pavement as well."
EARLIER THIS WEEK RYAN NEWMAN WAS TALKING ABOUT LIFT OFF ON SPEEDS. YOU ARE A PILOT, WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM SAFE SPEED FOR THESE CARS? "That is a good question. I got that feeling driving with someone pushing me that if we had a little trouble, like let's say I drive through turn one and blow a left rear tire and the guy behind me doesn't realize it quick enough, I think there is a dynamic with two cars with one being sideways is bad. We saw that with Brad and I, unfortunately, with the car pushing the car that is sideways it does something to the aerodynamics and makes it more likely the front car will go airborne. With these two car drafts it concerns me a little bit that it could be more likely to happen. I think NASCAR has answered that by trying to keep the overall top speeds down to try to answer that. You just don't know though, it is all about how the cars are positioned." ARE YOU SPENDING MORE TIME PAYING ATTENTION TO THE GAUGES IN YOUR CAR AND HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO HAVE A DRAFTING PARTNER? "It is all there is. Yesterday the most important thing was the guy that was pushing you or that you were pushing. In my case, Greg was pushing me. That was the most important thing and there is nothing more important. If you come apart or are not working well with that guy and really helping one another to do the best you can together, then you are going to have no chance at winning. This race, I believe, is truly going to be the biggest exercise in team work that we have ever had to be a part of. You can't just jump ship and go, not like a pack of cars is, you have got to pick a guy and work with that guy. You are going to have to work with him for the last 10 or 15 laps to be in a position to win. As far as the gauges, I have never messed around with my radios and stared at my gauges and looked in my mirror ever at a race track. You have to pay attention. This will be a much more draining race. Much more difficult to keep the attention level where it needs to be to avoid disaster."
KEVIN HARVICK SAID THAT HE WOULD PREFER TO BE IN SECOND PLACE COMING TO THE FINISH LINE, YET ALL THREE OF THE RACES HAVE BEEN WON BY THE GUY BEING PUSHED, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON BEING BEHIND OR IN FRONT? "I think you want to be leading if there are a bunch of cars racing toward the finish line. For instance, if I am pushing Greg on Sunday and we are battling another two car group or two different groups, six cars total and we are two of them, I am going to just keep pushing. I want my teammate to win the 500 more than I want for both of us to lose to somebody. If you are out there by yourself and have that lead, then I think what Kurt (Busch) did by holding off Regan, that is not going to be the norm. It is going to be very difficult for the guy in front to hold off a guy in second if it is just the two of them. It all depends on the situation at the end of the race, if it is a whole mess of cars or just two."
GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT NEEDING PARTNERS AND FRIENDS OUT THERE, HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT THAT EXACTLY? "You definitely want friends for sure. It also can change in a heartbeat. Yesterday, Greg and I got separated and I got lined up with David and all of a sudden David is the guy that I had to work with. That is likely to happen on Sunday too. You could work with someone for three hours and get stuck with someone else the last 15 minutes. You better get to like that guy really quick."
IF YOU ARE PUSHING A CHEVY DOWN THE LAST FEW LAPS LIKE BAYNE WAS WITH GORDAN YESTERDAY, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DEAL WITH THAT? "Good question. I can just picture Jack Roush if I finish second and push some other manufacturer across the finish line. He probably isn't going to want to say much to me. I guess you have to make those decisions at the last minute. There is going to be a lot of thinking and break power being used the last mile of this race and guys determining how much they really like that guy in front of them or that manufacturer or car owner. There is a lot to it. It really at the end of the day, for two guys to do well, they have to go with one another almost to the very end."
HOW DOES A DECISION GET MADE IF YOU ARE PUSHING SOMEONE OF WHEN TO SWITCH AND TAKE YOUR TURN IN THE LEAD, AND DO YOU LIKE THIS STYLE OF RACING? "Coming to grips with the fact that you might not be the guy to win the race is tough. Jamie pushed Kurt first in the Bud Shootout I think, so that is a case from the outside looking in, that is pretty interesting. He just said that he was going to stick with it and push him and he wrote that race off. Now Kurt owes him a little bit and maybe that pays off on Sunday. You have to think bigger than this one race. You have to know we are coming back here in July, going to Talladega, come back here and have the same type of racing next year, and all of that makes that decision easier. It makes it easier to push a guy and know that maybe next time it will be reciprocated. Now I know it is the Daytona 500, but if you always abandon ship, trust me I have tried, I used to be the first guy to jump out of line and go for me, but pretty soon guys won't work with you because they know you will jump ship and that doesn't pay off in the long run. You are investing in future partners. Right now I am sitting here at this nice desk and once I have a helmet on sitting behind the wheel looking at the checkered flag at the Daytona 500 I think we all might think differently. Do I like this style of racing? I like racing where the driver and crew chief and the way you drive the race car are the things that dictate whether you win or not. This style of racing is not my favorite. I do think that the way the car is driving now where two guys can separate themselves I feel like there is a lot more control. I would much rather have that than just running around in a big pack of cars. I think this is a really big step forward, in my opinion, for restrictor plate racing."
THE GOODYEAR GUYS SAID THERE WAS HARDLY ANY WEAR ON THE TIRES AFTER 60 LAPS. HOW DOES THAT WEIGH INTO YOUR STRATEGY? "I guess if wear is not a problem then we just have to worry about temperature. I haven't heard anything about blistering or anything, so I think you will see guys go as long as they can and somebody will test the limits of the tire. I hope we aren't the ones to find the limit. Goodyear has done a great job and obviously has a great tire and the surface is nice and it is all working out well. I don't think that will be a big factor in the race."
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW MENTALLY GRUELING THIS RACE WILL BE. MENTALLY, WHAT DO YOU GUYS HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND WHAT IS THE THOUGHT PROCESS THAT IS SO GRUELING? "You have to think about so many things. Communication with the guy pushing you or the guy you are pushing. For instance, Greg was pushing me and the guys wrecked in front of us, so I am yelling in my radio to slow down hoping Greg hears it. There is that and the anxiety that goes with that. We have to monitor the temperature of the car and run in a position so the guy behind you can get his nose out. You try the best you can to keep guys from breaking you apart and all that stuff. You are thinking essentially about two cars instead of your own which is a different style of racing which is much tougher.

For Marc Casper, leadership and listening go hand in hand. He learns more by interrupting less.
"Some of my mentors were always in data gathering mode," said Casper, president and chief executive of Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO) in Waltham, Mass. "Part of that is the discipline to let people go through their thoughts" without cutting them off.
The company bills itself as the world leader in serving science. It provides products and services for scientific analysis and lab research, and its customers include pharmaceutical firms, hospitals and universities.
A merger of Thermo Electron and Fisher Scientific created the firm. When they announced the all-stock $10.6 billion deal in May 2006, the companies were performing well and their respective stocks were hitting new highs. The combined firm continues to grow and report strong results.
Casper characterizes the integration of the two companies as "incredibly seamless." He credits the smooth transition to the management team's determination to stay focused on the external customer rather than get diverted by internal issues.
A Decade Of Growth
Casper, who became chief executive in 2009, says the company's leaders like to set "pretty ambitious goals." About 10 years ago, for example, they declared that they wanted to separate from their competitors and emerge as the industry leader.
"And we've done that," said Casper, 44. "We've gone from $2 billion to $12 billion" in revenues during that time. Thermo Fisher Scientific has about 39,000 employees.
He attributes the company's success to its scale and depth of capabilities. By positioning itself as the largest player in the field — aided by the 2006 merger — and providing a wide range of products and services, Thermo Fisher Scientific gains strategic advantages over its rivals, he says.
"Our customers will lay out their goals and look to us to help achieve those goals," he said. "We help them manage the supply chain, reduce inventory and select the right products for their applications."
In 2002, the company launched a practical process improvement or PPI program to spur continuous improvement across all its businesses. Using PPI methods, teams of employees explore ways to streamline operations, cut waste and adopt "green initiatives" such as using less paper and electricity.
"It's now ingrained in our culture," Casper said. "It helps us get out of our comfort zone."
When he tours a facility, Casper will say to the on-site managers, "Let's see the PPI boards." They huddle around a bulletin board and review the status of various projects designed to improve efficiencies.
He also enjoys meeting with customers and getting what he calls "unfiltered feedback on how we're doing and translating that into action steps." He often asks customers, "What are you worried about?" so that he can identify their concerns and then explore how the company can address those concerns.

After the Floods
After Boulder County's devastating floods in September, the City of Boulder and the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art quickly mobilized to put artists on the job for the Flood Project, actually a series of projects commemorating the disaster and lifting the human element out of the mud it left behind. One of those projects, mounted by the bARTer collective, which uses a mobile studio to spread art-making throughout the Front Range, involved collecting personal stories and recipes — fragments of uprooted lives — from flood victims. Tonight, their work, along with a musical project by Preston Poe of YouTunes, will culminate in a presentation at BMoCA's Flood Project Dinner and benefit.
For this evening, bARTer collaborated with chef Hosea Rosenberg of Blackbelly Catering to reinterpret shared recipes from the project for an artist dinner. "He took those recipes — and a lot of them were like when your grandma gives you a recipe, and it's just a dash of this and a drop of that — and took inspiration from them to create comfort dishes like truffled mac and cheese and green-chile posole," says BMoCA spokeswoman Rendl Clark. "This is a way of celebrating that we all got through this together and to honor what happened in September."
The dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. at BMoCA, 1750 13th Street in Boulder; the $100 ticket price includes the presentations and elegant dinner, as well as some artful surprise takeaways. To reserve a chair at the table, go to bmoca.org/2014/01/the-flood-project-dinner-benefit or call 303-443-2122.

Two Weeks Later
Kylie Night:
I felt a spasm of worry as I sat down on the tiled flooring of my bathroom. Waiting. I gazed at nothing and focused my attention on the noise of the rain, falling down in giant drops to the already soaked ground. We haven't had sunshine in this town for about a month now. It's getting pretty annoying. A girl can only take so much rain when she's walking to the mall!
I heard the beeping of the little pink stick. My heart raced at a dangerous rate when I got up and took the small steps toward the sink. I leaned down and started at the screen intently, my wide eyes gaining tears in them. The pink cross was still there, mocking me.
I immediately dialed Carson's number with trembling hands.
"Hello?" says a sleepy Carson.
"Were you still sleeping? It's eleven in the morning!" I laugh and hear him falling out of his bed.
"Well with this crappy weather it's hard to tell the time. It's all grey out side." We laugh for a moment but then I look back down at the stick. My face turns serious and I take a deep, calm breath.
"It's positive."
I hear nothing for a long time until ever so softly, Carson barley whispers, "crap!"
"What are you going to do?" Carson asked gently. I shrugged to myself, thinking it over. I'm not for abortion but even I know that I'm neither responsible nor mature enough to take care of this little human.
"I'll give it some time, think it over and tell my mom. She'll hook me up with a social worker and I'll give away the baby once it comes." I felt the lump in my thoart become bigger. I swallowed it down though along with my true feelings and sighed.
"Can you come over? I'm kind of lonely." I asked while shuffling over to my bed and sitting down.
"Sure, be there in a sec."
And then he hung up.

Gio Gonzalez made his final tune-up today before he departs for the World Baseball Classic, a smooth, scoreless three innings against the Astros in what became a 4-2 Nationals loss. Gonzalez allowed three hits, struck out three and walked one as he threw 42 pitches, 27 of them strikes.
The Nationals limited Gonzalez to 50 pitches to comply with WBC rules, and afterward Gonzalez threw 23 extra pitches in the bullpen to build up his arm. He mixed in more change-ups and curves than in his first two starts, and he came away feeling prepared to start March 12 in Miami, presuming Team USA reaches the second round.
"I felt good," Gonzalez said. "Three innings, still working on stuff. I felt I was building more strength as the innings went along, finally picking up my target. Finished off in the bullpen, trying to still get that groove again. But other than that, I felt good."
Gonzalez had better command of his fastball today than in any previous start. He needed only 13 pitches to navigate the first, escaping a two-on, one-out jam after a Chris Carter double. Gonzalez breezed through the second in eight pitches. He made more work for himself in the third when he walked the leadoff hitter, but he quickly settled down and found the strike zone. He ended his day by getting Carter to swing through a nasty, backdoor sinker.
"He's ready," Manager Davey Johnson said. "He'll be fine on the 12th. It was a good day for him."
>>> As the Nationals stretched before today's game, a familiar face wandered over. Rick Ankiel, now playing for the Astros, at this moment bypassed his former teammates for a kindred spirit. He wrapped his arms around Micah Owings and yelled, "'Bout time!"
Owings, like Ankiel famously did before him, is making the transition from pitcher to position player. Owings has been limited this spring by a sore wrist, but today Owings played outfield for the first time and went 0 for 1. He jogged out to left for the first time in the seventh inning, and naturally the very first ball hit was a screaming liner right at him. He caught it.
"First one, huh?" he said. "That was fun. It got my heart pumping a little bit."
Owings has been working at both first, with which he has more experience, and the outfield. He played some first base on a rehab assignment with the Padres. He played only a few games of outfield in college, and then a couple more this winter in Puerto Rico.
"I feel like I'm just really focused on tracking the ball," Owings said. "I take some pointers from these guys. I'm not trying to over-think it and just play."
As Johnson plans to play his regulars more, Owings may get squeezed out of at-bats – and if anyone needs at-bats, it's him as he tries to become a full-time hitter. It seems likely that Johnson could soon send Owings to minor league camp in order to receive more reps.
"This is a big haul for him," Johnson said. "I don't know how much I'm going to be able to look at him down here. But I'll keep giving him some at-bats here and there."
>>> Ryan Mattheus's impeccable spring training line became much more messy today. He took the mound in eighth in a tie game, and the Astros tagged him for two runs and three hits.
Mattheus, who had previously struck out seven and walked none in four dominant innings, was not all that bothered by the outing. He explained that he used his fastball to get ahead of hitters, but he evened the counts as he worked out the kinks with his split-fingered fastball.
Only when the Astros hitters got in favorable counts did they whack his, fastball, Mattheus said, and Mattheus is confident those favorable counts won't be there once he regains the feel for his splitter.
"All in all, it wasn't really as bad of an outing as it looked," Mattheus said. "Normally, [the splitter] is the last thing to come around. We focus so much early in throwing sessions on fastball command. You're really not spinning the ball until you get into a game. So that's one thing I'm working on. The fastball command is there."
Johnson feels Drew Storen is still rounding into form. Storen today allowed two hits, one an infield single, and struck out two in a scoreless seventh. He also yielded a line-drive out to left field.
"He was a little up," Johnson said. "He was dropping his elbow and getting underneath some pitches. He's not quite there yet."
>>> Anthony Rendon – gasp! – made a mistake today. In the fifth, he entered to pinch-run for Chad Tracy at second base. Tyler Moore hit a slow dribbler to third base. Rendon waited until the throw across the diamond, then bolted to third. He slid into a tag after the ball came back across the diamond.
"It's a total screw-up," Johnson said. "He should know on a slow-hit ball, you don't have to wait until he throws it."

Opening remarks:
"We look forward to the challenge of playing the Raiders. We know what kind of football team they are. They are an explosive offensive football team and a very fast and aggressive defensive team. We understand what is coming in here and we understand it is going to be a big challenge and our players and coaches will be ready for that."
On when McNabb hurt his groin:
"He actually got hurt during the game, just before halftime. It tightened up on him yesterday and he felt a little sore during the game, but it really knotted up on him yesterday. We tried to get it out of there, but we were not as successful as we wanted to be. We will let him rest today and see what he can do tomorrow."
On how RG Shawn Andrews' shoulder is feeling:
"Yeah, Shawn's okay."
On whether he would like to have RB Ryan Moats play at some point during the regular season:
"Yeah, we are just going to continue to bring him along. It is a bit of a numbers game, because [RB] Reno [Mahe] is the backup punt returner and Reno knows all the pass routes where [RB] Brian [Westbrook] is flexed out of the backfield. Right now Reno is the best at that, so that's what it comes down to. It's nothing negative about Ryan; he is going to be a good football player in this league. It's just a matter of getting him comfortable with everything."
On Brian Westbrook's negative yardage plays this season:
"There are a couple of reasons for them. On a couple of them they have overloaded that side. The one in Atlanta that was the case. It got us into a little trouble there. There have been some guys that have come free and we need to block better. We will do that and get it all straightened out."

Court Overturns Hempstead Zoning Board's Five-Year Limit on Laundromat's Special Use Permit
In 1999, Mark Wieboldt and Laundry Palace U. applied for a special permit authorizing them to conduct a coin-operated laundromat on commercial property in Uniondale. The board granted the application, but placed a durational limitation on the permit, requiring Mr. Wieboldt to reapply every five years in order to continue his business operations.
The Board renewed the laundromat's permit in 2008 with the same conditions. In 2013, Mr. Wieboldt retained Mr. Browne, who asked the Board to lift the five-year limit on the permit, arguing that the laundromat was entitled to permanently use the land for the operation of the business. Despite this request, the Board renewed the application and, once again, placed the five-year limit on the laundromat's special permit.
In court, Mr. Browne successfully demonstrated that the town's zoning ordinance does not give the Board the power to impose time limits on special permits. As cited by Mr. Browne, in order for a board to impose a durational limit, the relevant local ordinance must expressly empower it to do so. The firm also persuaded the Court that these types of time limitations run counter to basic principles of zoning law that empower zoning boards only to regulate the use of land, not the duration of a use.
"This decision is a big victory for property owners and local businesses,"

An all-encompassing European comparison (including colonial endeavours) on the path taken by various nations to establish the place of national museums and the role they play in the creation of community.
An in-depth study of how the national display in a selection of countries creates visions of cultural community. How do they deal with differences and belongings on a super-national level and how do they relate to regional differences?
From a citizensâ perspective the intentions of cultural policy or institutional ambitions might be of little importance. This part will simulate visitor experience of national narratives in a comparative selection of capitals from project one; in order to develop an understanding of how citizen experience relates to the more structural findings in the other sub-projects and hence map in what directions citizenship and community are moving through contemporary displays of national community.

South Florida man bitten by crocodile in suburban canal
Published: Monday, August 25, 2014 at 12:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 25, 2014 at 12:17 p.m.
CORAL GABLES — A South Florida man is recovering after he was bitten by a crocodile while swimming at night in a Coral Gables canal.
Authorities said Monday that 26-year-old Alejandro Jimenez was treated and released at a local hospital after suffering bites to his shoulder, arm and neck. Another victim, 23-year-old Lisset Rendon, suffered unspecified minor injuries.
The two were swimming in the canal early Sunday behind a house where a party was taking place.
Florida wildlife officials say crocodiles are frequently spotted in the canals and signs are posted warning of their presence. Police were handing out flyers in the neighborhood as reminders about the crocodiles, which authorities say rarely attack humans.
The crocodile involved in this incident was described as between eight and nine feet long.

To give you some context for his historical viewpoint,
Fabrizio Sacchi's first design was a 70-transistor preamp for a television
remote control. He worked on that at a time when Bettino Craxi became Italy's
prime minister and Ronald Reagan was in his first term as U.S. president.
Today, Sacchi supports a division within ST Microelectronics developing products for some of the main telecommunication equipment
"So you can imagine the complexity of these types of
devices," he chuckles when he compares today's projects to his 30-year-old
preamp design.
Because of his experience and his history with a global
semiconductor giant like ST, Sacchi (pictured, right) is a perfect engineer to talk to for
perspective, as we continue our series on electronics design innovation as part
of Cadence's 25th anniversary.
Looking back, Sacchi sees two enormous engineering
achievements that also served as design influences: mobile computing and the
Internet. A third potential driver-green energy-has not lived up to what he thought
its promise would be.
For the first two, Sacchi said it's hard to pick the more
influential technological achievement.
"They impacted all the people in advanced societies and to a
lesser degree populations in less-advanced societies," he said of the Internet
and mobile communications. And the technologies very quickly revolutionized
countless aspects of culture.
He said:
years ago I read that the farmers in Indian villages were obliged to sell rice
at prices imposed by the dealers because they couldn't communicate with each
other and negotiate the price. With the first low-cost cell phones, the farmers
were able to break this dealer monopoly by communicating with each other."
Promise postponed?
It has been in the area of green technology where the
promise has fallen short over the years, Sacchi believes (although he still
holds out hope that it will take firm root soon).
speaking, I was more optimistic on green technology. All this is related to
ecology and energy sources, reduction in pollution and so on. In this field,
the world has to do better."
He remains optimistic, however, because it's all about cost.
Right now the cost of fossil fuel sources remains relatively low, but once, for
instance, petroleum prices rise sharply, then a tipping point should occur,
Sacchi believes.
Relentless innovation
Sacchi looks back on a career and an electronics-industry
evolution that's marked by increasingly productive engineering teams that
tackled thornier problems, while EDA vendors kept pace with new products and
At the time of his 70-transistor preamp, Sacchi worked among
small, focused analog design teams. But over time, Moore's Law and innovation
saw teams growing and adding system know-how to their designs, "to put it into
a more complex system to understand what's around our product. So we added
verification experts to the team and then software engineers."
"It was and is a never-ending story to add complexity to our
environment," Sacchi added.
Today, for example, a few meters from his office at ST
Microelectronics sits an optics expert. This symbolizes ST's "More than Moore" strategy,
in which sensors, optics, and other non-traditional semiconductor features are
combined along the march into the next great system-design frontier.
Amid the evolution, Sacchi tips his hat toward EDA vendors
for a singular innovation that's propelled engineering teams to new levels of
productivity: mixed-signal verification. He calls this the biggest improvement
in the field of verification.
Today mixed signal is analog plus digital plus some
behavioral description of electronic components, but it's not enough.
"We will never finish," he said.
Challenges ahead
But design challenges remain, particularly as engineering
teams using contemporary tools are confronting tomorrow's problems right now
and wishing they had tomorrow's tools.
"Every time we are writing something new, it's not
necessarily in the mind of the EDA vendor," he said. "Now we're developing
something with electronics and optics and there is no solution for codesign."
He believes EDA needs to begin to deliver solutions outside
the traditional electronic-design automation world and deliver them soon.
He pointed to thermal issues in design. There are some point
solutions but they're early in their development and not integrated into broader
platforms and methodological flows. In some cases, he said, ST Microelectronics
engineers build a solution themselves and use an Excel spreadsheet for analysis
There's a similar challenge for mechanical issues: something
starts to be available, for example for 3D-IC design, but isn't usable in
production by the design teams, Sacchi said.
For many semiconductor vendors, these topics may not be a
priority, but for a company like ST Microelectronics-which is differentiating itself
with "More than Moore" solutions-it's vital.
He sees other challenges for semiconductor vendors in
general, almost midway through the second decade of the 21st
He describes today's environment as a "digital business, in
the sense that if you have the right products, you are in; if not, you are out."
Asserting "there is no middle ground," Sacchi added: "You
have to have the right vision, otherwise you're dead."
Cost is king
A second industry challenge is and will always be cost.
Silicon vendors (fewer of them today) can shoulder the burden of owning their
own fabs, but even fabless companies have to negotiate pricing with foundries.
Contracts and costs ebb and flow with changes in supply and demand over time.
Third, partnerships are increasingly crucial to success,
Sacchi said.
"You have to do the right choices with your partners. You
can't do everything," Sacchi said, adding that the right customers also are key
to success.
So what does this longtime industry veteran see as the most
important future trends in electronics design?
Sacchi said:
don't see one single technology that will have a disruptive impact. I see a
continuous penetration of electronics into all aspects of our lives. Mechanics,
MEMs we are developing at ST, 3D printers and also data communication and
transfer. Don't forget medicine and, hopefully, green technology. There is
convergence of electronics in a lot of things."

Television critics are rather like those bacteria. Where the theatre critic or the art critic have to roam abroad to find their sustenance, television critics usually sit at home, taking what they need from the steady stream of fresh videos, arriving in peristaltic waves by courier and postman. And one of the things that is most conspicuous about this arrangement is the marked discrepancy of investment. Someone may have spent eight arduous months making a documentary, braving tropical disease and typhoon to do it, but for the television critic that odyssey may well be reduced to a morning's work.
This inalienable discrepancy of investment is the feature of criticism which causes most resentment and dismay for artists, and it is true that it is often a cruel disjunction. But it is also an unavoidable one - partly because it reflects the even greater cruelty of the viewer's perspective, but also because it takes less time accurately to point out faults than to create them in the first place. This has sometimes created a prejudice in favour of the original exertion, but it is an entirely false one; it would be absurd to value Michael Winner more than Pauline Kael because at least he "had a go", and because it is undeniably more difficult to finance and produce a motion picture than it is to file copy to a magazine that treasures you. If I were given a choice between saving Deathwish for posterity or saving Kael's review of the same film, I wouldn't need a second to decide.
Such discrepancy of investment is also a feature of most parasitic arrangements, of course, and this preamble is just another way of acknowledging that all critics are parasites, of one kind or another. Naturally they are - it hardly needs debating, really. The interesting question, though, is not whether critics are parasites or not, but what kind of parasites they are. For many artists this question is relatively easily answered; they would argue, I suppose, that the relationship that exists between makers and critics is what is technically known as a parasitoidal one - that is, an arrangement in which the parasite eventually kills off the host, often after a long period of slow and cruel debilitation. But there are other ways of thinking about such associations. Biologists also talk about commensalism - an arrangement in which the parasite benefits without either harming or benefiting the host. There are occasions, from the perspective of the television critic at least, when this seems as good an analogy as any. After all, what television executives wait for anxiously after transmission are not the overnight reviews but the overnight figures. And there are other reasons why television critics may feel less directly implicated in the fortunes of the medium they cover.
They carry less intellectual baggage than some of their colleagues, for one thing, because although the subject has been seized and carried into the academy in recent years, there isn't a long history of intellectual engagement with television. An art critic may well have Ruskin or Herbert Read at his back; a theatre critic, Tynan or even Dr Johnson. The hot breath on the back of a television critic's neck is most likely to be that of Clive James - the writer who really consolidated the idea that it was the first duty of the television critic to make readers laugh, with writing in which a kind of affectionate contempt was the prevailing tone. The success of this approach was not just to do with James's wit - but the fact that it perfectly matched the assured superiority of the audience in the face of this particular medium.
Television is both promiscuous and domestic - a whore in the living-room. It will turn virtually any trick you want at the touch of a button, and so it is hardly surprising that it is treated with a certain amount of condescension by its audiences. It is protected by none of the ritual deferences that hem other critical subjects around - the need to dress up and go out, to enter a space which is possessed of a sacral hush or an air of communal celebration. That laconic Brooklyn encapsulation of the universal fault-finding instinct - "Everyone's a critic" - is truer of television than it is of any other form precisely because so few people feel inhibited by its dignity or its pretensions.
What's more, the television critic almost always joins a conversation that has already begun, because unlike the case in most other forms of criticism, the review doesn't reach the reader before the thing reviewed. And yet television swims imperturbably along, apparently as indifferent to critical opinion as the shark is to the desires of the remora attached to its belly.
There is a third model for the unbreakable association of host and parasite, one that might get us a little closer to the truth of the connection between subject and critic in this field - and it is that of obligative mutualism. Biologists use this term to describe associations in which both parties are inextricably knitted together by mutual need - termites have an intestinal protozoan which they require to digest the wood they eat. Without the protozoan, the termite would starve, and without the termite the protozoan would also go hungry. This may seem a little counter- intuitive to the hard-working termites of television, who can be forgiven for thinking that they would suffer no ill-effects if critics were to disappear tomorrow. But, to bend the analogy a little closer to our own particular needs here, what benefits from the arrangement in the long run is less the individual termite itself than the termite mound - that remarkable and complex structure to which the intestinal protozoan makes its own crucial contribution without ever having any conscious ambition to do its bit for termite architecture.
I want to argue that good critics (and there are as many bad ones as there are bad artists) can be beneficial parasites - but I don't want to suggest that this operates by any direct regulatory mechanism. Critics aren't referees to which work should be submitted for some incontestable verdict of quality, nor are critics reliable arbiters of truth - the task is too personal and subjective for that, too heavily beset by prejudice and wishful thinking. In any case, critics always owe their first duty to their readers, not to some abstract notion of cultural value. That doesn't mean that the critic is nothing more than a kind of juggling dung beetle, entertaining the crowd by manipulating the productions of others. They do have an effect on the overall culture.
You could put it more bluntly like this. It is not a critic's task to make better art; it is the critic's task to make better audiences. Even this sounds a little too grandiose when written down, to be honest; but still, I think it's broadly true. Critics can't guarantee happiness for individual artists, but they can promote an ecology in which good art finds it easier to survive.
In television reviewing there are some ways in which this happens rather directly - it's unquestionably true that some programmes are broadcast partly because critical approbation exists to offset their limited success in terms of viewing figures. Critical opinion thus provides some balance for the considerable power of numbers, by amplifying the voice of that part of the audience which will never be able to make itself conspicuous through such statistics. Critics can speak for intensity of value rather than sheer volume.
But good critics should also change the audience, too, by refining their powers of discrimination and making the casual viewer a little less likely to pass over a subtlety or a refinement. In the long run - and it may be a very long run indeed - that is likely to do far more for a particular medium or an art form than any amount of local cheerleading for the mediocre, however well intentioned it may be.
I would settle for obligative mutualism, then. Obligative because the human instinct to pass comment is insuppressible. Whenever two or three are gathered together, two will disagree and the third will chip in to say they are both wrong. The mutualism arises out of the fact that both producer and critic benefit from a culture in which audiences are not just passive recipients of what artists want to tell us and what companies to sell us, but are also questioning and resistant.
The end result is a culture - a termite mound that results from no single act of will, but from the complex interaction of many different instincts. Critics may well look exploitative, indolent and self-interested. In many cases - even the best - they are. But take them away and the termite mound would suffer.

Barty - Don't Mind Me
It is a gross misconception you humans have that anything that doesn't walk on two feet, smoke a pipe and speak the Queen's good English is definitely a barbarian.
I speak the Queen's good English perfectly, actually, without even a trace of an accent. We parrots are seriously misunderstood, if you ask me. Just because you idiots can't understand us, you say we're stupid - and yet WE understand YOUR languages perfectly well! Doesn't take much to work out who's the idiot here.
Hablo español, un poco frances, italiano y mucho ingles.
Still think I'm stupid?
I could speak to you in Latin, too, if I could be bothered. But I've just found a rather nice spot on the forecastle where it's halfway between sun and shade, which makes for a wonderful roost.
Ctenocephalides, I'm guessing.
Do parrots get fleas? Well, now, that little crawling thing under my left wing is definitely something King George gave me. So it must be Ctenocephalides Canis. Can parrots get dog-fleas?
Evidently so.
King George - what an idiot! I'm missing three tail-feathers because of him. He always gloats about that, whenever I go near him. Cook uses him to guard the kitchen (if I didn't know better, I'd say he doesn't trust me), and that one day when I just wanted to stretch my wings - and maybe steal some bread or something - up leaped King George and grabbed my tail!
I mean, I ask you!
Well, I hope he was spitting feathers for a month, that's all I can say!
Ah, there's Gwyn. She's got a bit of a soft spot for me (or at least, that's what I like to think... ). Maybe she'll comfort me in my present state of distress.
Rolling my shoulders to release the tension (it's what my chiropractor told me to do, I'll have you know), I spread my wings and flap smoothly down to her, clipping Macnair on the head as I do so.
Haha! What a berk. He still thinks my name is Polly.
Oh, yes, that's right. Don't mind me, Missy.
She walks straight past me.
And to think: I gave up my warm patch for her!
That's human gratitude for you.

We've had a pretty wild summer! Flood gates, warm, fast water and lots of great fishing -- IF you can get out in a boat and drift. That's the only problem with a tailwater fishery... you're at the mercy of generation and rain runoff.
Fishing Report
Was out last evening trying a couple of things. Didn't get out earlier enough to all I wanted to.
Here's a video showing what I did. Featured is how I rig when drifting flies, namely scuds.
After more than days of flood gates, our tailwater here on Lake Taneycomo is somewhat back to normal. This has been a rare event, having to substitute flood gates for turbines but one that makes you think, "What if?" Having 57-degree water run through the system, we see the effects it has on a fishery.
Since this article was written, the dam at Beaver Lake has been shut down. Now Table Rock Lake is dropping about five inches per day and will continue to drop until its level reaches 917 feet -- then the flood gates will be shut at the dam. Two units will continue to run at...
Lots of reports this week . . . lots of water and good trout caught. After big rains in the upper White River Basin, the U.S. Corps of Army Engineers opened flood gates at Beaver and Table Rock dams. Beaver Lake's level is inching back up to 1129 feet even with big releases and Table Rock's level remains close to 918 feet. Table Rock is releasing the equivalent of four units plus a little with...

The Disappearance of Clearville
Our protagonist knew nothing of the events that were on the verge of taking place. She knew not that as she ate her breakfast the annoyed glimpses that she gave her over-enthusiastic family of three (mother, father, and twelve year-old brother) would be the last ones she would give in her life. She had no way of guessing that the bright sun would never shine the same way, nor that this was the last day of laughter and freedom in her high school. She didn't even know that her last cheer for her squad had happened the day before, forever locked in a happy memory of blissfulness and safety.
This is the story that changes this average cheerleader.
Walking through the crowded halls of Clearville High-school Manny Jules walked without a care. She loved this place. She thrived of the amount of new students that had transferred in from surrounding schools, but most of all she loved her boyfriend who waited by her locker. Typical jock with charming blond hair and piercing blue eyes, but he was one of the smartest in the school, so he couldn't truly be classified as a jock. Steven's long arms wrapped around her waist as he kissed her in a way of greeting.
"So," he began after letting her go so that she could put her bag in her locker. "Are we still on?"
Manny looked up and smiled suggestively. "I have no idea what you're talking about." She teased.
A flicker of impatience passed over his eyes, but it quickly disappeared the moment he realized what she was doing. "Ok, so then I'll meet you here in an hour?"
"You know it." she smiled and quickly went to class.
Clearville, Ontario was quiet, private. Those who had lived their whole lives there knew nothing else. They thrived on the peace and serenity, but were almost never bored. They didn't crave the city as most folk from smaller towns would, their town was special, united. The days were always long when needed but not too long when nighttime was desired. Nothing was ever out of place. But today the clouds were out and the sky was chillier than normal in September. The smell of chaos was in the air.
Steven met Manny as planned at her locker an hour later, sharp. Class was still in session, but they had a plan. They couldn't see each other as much as they wanted. Her parents gave her a curfew and his football schedule was demanding. The janitors' door opened easily as they stumbled in, hands wrapped around each other. The darkness didn't bother them and inside their little safe, hot haven they didn't hear the sudden explosion in the center of Clearville. Somehow, the screams were not available for their ears.
For the first time ever Clearville was quiet.
It was no surprise that when Manny and Steven walked out of the their hot abyss, that absolutely no sound could be heard in their school... Everything was different.

Kabianga University Student Takes Own Life After Sportpesa Loss-Photo
A university student could not imagine losing his tuition fees to Sportspesa and opted to commit suicide. The Kabianga student had placed all his tuition with the hope of winning a jackpot.
Edwin Mogaka is said to have hanged himself from a tree in a nearby thicket in the institution. Mogaka reportedly placed a bet between the Chelsea Vs Liverpool with the later won 3-1.
Sportspesa is the largest sports betting company in Kenya. Many Kenyans have lost substantial amounts of money while others have hit it big.
Incidences of Kenyans committing suicide are not new but the betting company keeps on attracting new subscribers.
Other companies like Betway have joined the fray to get a piece of the piece from Kenyans appetite for quick money.
