CHATTAROY – Last Friday's severe thunderstorm that rolled through the Tug Valley area knocked out electricity for hundreds of customers in the Chattaroy, Dans Branch and Borderland areas of Mingo County. Power outages were also reported in parts of Williamson and other communities.
The power was out for more than 48 hours for some residents. Many did not get their electricity back on until Sunday morning around 10:30 a.m.
Several trees were blown over and other damages reported in the Chattaroy area. Several residents reported very strong winds swept through the Howard Hollow area of that community.
A swing was blown into the Dotson family swimming pool and a metal flag pole snapped like a toothpick.
Many smaller limbs were blown over and into the roadways. No injuries were reported from the storm.
The annual Chattaroy Junior High School reunion this past weekend, which was held at the picnic shelter beside the Chattaroy Church of God, went on despite not having any power during both nights. On Saturday, generators were brought in for the second night of the event.
About 7,200 customers remained without electricity two days after severe thunderstorms in southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky.
Appalachian Power stated on its website that about 6,000 customers in Raleigh County were without service Sunday evening. The company says broken and uprooted trees caused widespread damage in the county.
Other remaining outages were in Fayette, Logan, McDowell and Summers counties.
The utility says nearly 65,000 customers lost service at the peak of the storm.

After resetting my HDD and hence needing to reset Mionet a number of times, after each reset Mionet asked for a new device name (it wouldn't accept the old one). I now have a number of (each new name after each reset) 'ghost' drives in my iPhone WD Photos app and don't know how to purge/delete them. As an aside, or perhaps a related topic, I also don't know how to delete these old names from my Mionet account - they appear as offline devices in my Resources tab. Any help gratefully received. Jon

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Rather proud of myself this week as I just completed my first ever race!
Did the Brading 10k - which had some evil hills - in 58.59 and despite my fear I was not last. Happy days.
do have one question though. I need to lose weight and fast as my joints really ache. I'm about 17lbs over my healthy BMI and dress size 14-16 now. Had hoped running would help my weight loss but nothing has moved. I know I need carbs to run but carbs are not my friend. Any advice? My weary joints can't take much more!
Well I've got the myfitnesspal app and it is very efficient. However I have found calorie counting to be a struggle. I was eating 1500 a day and with my running thought it would fall off. Half a pound a week if I was lucky...and it soon became demoralising
i appreciate there are no quick fixes but I need something that I can sustain for always and not always think about, if you know what I mean! And something quicker (forgive my impatience!).
Clare , well done on your 10k in a very respectable time , as Cougie says its all about monitoring what goes in, it's hard don't torture yourself have some treats , it took me 2 years to lose 4.5 stone, but you need to expect a half pound or worse " no change", these are the pounds in my humble opinion that stay off , your joints are probably just groaning cos your putting them through their paces For a 10k , be careful not to use the carb loading excuse , there's good n bad carbs , and a well rounded diet is probably enough
I was 18st 11lbs , when I started , I'm now 14.5 st , I've just completed my 3rd marathon , I'm no Mo Farah , but I love it , slowly slowly catchy monkey (whatever that means), you will get some fabulous advice on here and if your lucky ( as I was tonight), you will get to meet some of the people posting, hope this helps
Well done clare.
Well done Clare on your first race and a sub-60 minutes too!
I echo all of the above and it is definately important to see what food you are eating (hidden fats, too much carb etc etc) but you also, quite peversely, need to make sure you are eating enough. I realise your training isn't going to need you eating 3000 calories a day but if you are eating too little your body will try and hold on to all the food you give it and will not want to give up the fat because when you are exercising it panics and thinks there are hard times up ahead so wants to hold onto fat for these "lean" times (some primeval thing i think).
You also need to keep an eye on when you eat to make sure your body is getting what it needs. Protein to help repair, carbs to prepare etc. I am no nutritionist but I take an interest so please take what I say with this in mind and check anything.

There is only one thing I can think of now, one word, one horrible feeling. Regret. I wish I hadn't done anything. I wish I hadn't brought Hephzibah back to be a God - no matter how amazingly she seems to have adapted to this role. No matter how much I love her my head fills with regrets like how my mind used to fill with the images of my victims dying while I was human. It tastes of the most bitter thing imaginable twice over.
I have foresaken my friends, my lover. Albeit I did it to save them, but I lost my integrity. That was one of the few things I had left. Now all I have is countless godly errands. Continual approval or declining new words, new ideas and the language ascribed to it. Having to plant those in mortal minds. Sorting the theives from the killers. Ferrying the excess souls to the underworld.
Being a God was nothing good. It did have a few good points. Sunlight, food, being able to sire children... I'd give everything up to become a vampyre again. I crave that unique friendship, that undescribable friendship of the bloodthirsty that I once had.
They all say that you don't know what you have until it's gone - but really it's just ignorance of how things change, sometimes for the better or in this case - for miserable lonliness. I'm more that depressed. I should have it all - I should be overjoyed! Eternal life with my true love, knowing that once again she is carrying my child, that this time I will be the father I never could be as a vampyre.
I really am an idiot. I am stupid, and selfish, and ungrateful. I'm everything I never wanted to be but everything I used to wish. How the fates hate me!
I look about my new godly manor, the sprawling lawns, the meticulous perfection of everything. All I can see is fault. All I see is hate and regret. I never should have had this! I shouldn't have even lived - as a vampyre I should have stepped into the sun first chance I had. Died knowing that my rein of terror wouldn't happen.
But I can't change it. Well I could - but what use would it be? Artemis could redo as quickly as I could undo. I'd tried... and obviously failed.
Why can I never be happy with my life? Why do I constantly just do something completely stupid?
I think my most fatal mistake when it comes to my own happiness, let alone others, was to bring Hephzibah back. I love her with every fibre of my being - as much as every man can love their true loves combined. But how could I put myself in front of others. I loved Lillith, I loved her as soon as I met her. Demitri; the vampyre that changed her, was doomed to die as soon as he changed her - and I didn't mind. I wasn't his friend, I was never his. We used each other in those early vampyric years and when he asked me to hide him from this creation of his - who was I to stop him? I needed to repay his early kindness. So with my happy threesome he stayed for but a day before Lillith, in her undead beauty stormed in and killed him with no more mercy that he'd shown her mortal soul.
I missed it all. I missed my intellectual and deeply profound theological and philosophical talks with Alcatraz. I missed the constant changing of the the drapes, clothes and fashions fo the house with Charlotte - I think she was trying to preserve our identity but I miss how much I hated it. But most of all I missed Lillith. I missed her beautiful scent. That scent that I now recoiled at. How could I have changed all of that? I really deserved this all.
I put my golden staff in my special sling designed to carry it. Put on my winged shoes and headed at my new breathtaking speed to where Charlotte resided in her own unhappiness.
I'd promised a trip to the underworld to seek Aphrodite with her. I can't fail with my new promises, not like I'd promised Lillith my love, my care or my life. God or not, Charlotte was my only friend left and a friend I desperately needed to balance myself.

The Heart Breakfast McCain Family of the Month
If it matters to family it matters to McCain which is why they've joined us here at Heart to launch the Heart Breakfast McCain Family of the Month. Each month we'll be recruiting a family to enjoy an experience and show us what makes them so proud of their family. We'll then be asking them to come back into the studio, help us out on the breakfast show and tell us all about it!
Introducing the Richardson family from Daventry...
We're delighted to reveal November's Heart Breakfast McCain Family of the Month as the Richardson family from Daventry. Let's introduce them, there's mum Tanya, dad Ian, little Amelia who's just three years old and five year old Elise. The Richardsons impressed the judges with their entry, demonstrating a real passion for sharing mealtimes together. Dad Ian is the main cook in the household, and the rest of the family all enjoy sitting down after a long day to enjoy his food.
As a special treat, we sent the Richardsons up to London to take part in a family cooking lesson with celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson. We organised their travel, accommodation and some spending money so they could hit the London shops after their experience. But how did they get on?

Grant O'Brien expects Woolworths to open the bulk of 150 big-box home improvement stores within five years of its entry into the $40 billion sector.
O'Brien told investors at Wednesday's strategy day that Woolworths had secured sites for almost 100 stores and he expected them to be operating "in that first five years," clarifying for the first time the retailer's ambitious opening schedule.
These stores are expected to generate strong sales, enabling Woolworths and its joint venture partner Lowe's to recoup some of their substantial capital investment.
O'Brien said the first five stores were performing ahead of budget, but he declined to issue new guidance on estimated start-up costs and trading losses. Woolworths warned in August that Masters would incur trading losses and start-up costs of up to $100 million, or around $40 million net of tax this year, and that the chain would not break even for three or four years.
"We said it would be 20 stores before we had an idea how these things would settle down," he said.
"It's been a very pleasing start for those stores but it's early days. I'm confident we will become Australia's pre-eminent home improvement business but we're still in shorts and long socks and have a long way to go."
"We don't believe saturation will be at 150 -- 150 is what we can get in the first five years."
The Australian Financial Review

Shelagh Rogers, host CBC Radio — The Next Chapter
"I became involved with Frontier College as a volunteer for the Peter Gzowski golf tournaments (PGI) for literacy. Meeting the people who have learned to read later in life has been profoundly inspiring. They have become my heroes. Also, it turns out that all of my closest friends are involved in literacy in some way. You could say that Frontier College has changed my life, too."
Gerry McCaughey, Former President and Chief Executive Officer, CIBC
"Frontier College has been on the forefront of literacy in Canada for more than 100 years and continues to be a leader, reaching out to people and responding to their learning needs. Furthermore, they provide critical youth leadership development to thousands of university-aged volunteers each year. I am pleased to be involved with and support Frontier College."
R. Roy McMurtry, Q.C. Former Frontier College Labourer-Teacher and former Chief Justice of Ontario
"I was first introduced to Frontier College and Dr. Edmund Bradwin…in the spring of 1952. Bradwin inspired me to believe that working as a Labourer-Teacher ten hours a day, six days a week, and teaching new immigrants at night, was a special privilege. My summers with Frontier College taught me the great fulfillment and even joy that can be obtained through public service. I shall always be grateful to Dr. Bradwin for his inspiration and for his lessons so well taught."
Murray McLauchlan, Singer-Songwriter
"As a Canadian and a long-time friend and supporter of Frontier College, I am deeply honoured to be associated with a Canadian not-for-profit organization whose work has such a profound and positive effect on the lives of those it touches."
Janet Cloud, Frontier College donor, tutor and former Board Member
"I was first involved with Frontier College in the 1990s as a tutor, helping a young woman learn to be a cashier by spending hours making change. In those days you couldn't count on cash registers to do all the work for you, and I was thrilled when she was able to find work at a gift shop. Much has changed in the last 20 years, but the need for literacy and numeracy support has not. In today's technology-driven world it's even more important in fact, and many Canadians don't possess the necessary skills to maintain employment, or to access social systems or healthcare. This was driven home for me by a powerful public service message that had a young man standing alone in front of a bus shelter by a sign he couldn't read. It said the buses were cancelled for the day. He was stranded and he didn't know it. This impacted me deeply, and I realized that literacy is taken for granted by so many. Because it's not something you can see and most are adept at surviving without admitting or showing it, low literacy affects so many more people than we know. I returned to tutor at Frontier College eleven years ago and it's still the best part of my busy week in the corporate world. I work with Beat the Street learners – marginalized youth in Toronto who have left the traditional school system. It has nothing to do with intelligence, it's startling how many smart kids are dealt a difficult hand and don't have the opportunities that most people in Canada have. I tried to give my children every chance to reach their full potential, and it's heartbreaking to think that some kids have no one to look out for them. It's nothing more than luck of the draw, a cosmic flip of the coin, and without support many kids have little hope and a bleak future ahead. I had the honour of being on the board of Frontier College and I know that personal donations truly make a difference. Through Frontier College's partnerships and business model, every single dollar donated goes a very long way towards building the foundation for a healthy, happy, productive life."

Dealpolitik: Next Move in the Exchange Chess Game
The NYSE Euronext board has a lot to worry about. It has a signed up a deal with Duetsche Bourse that is moving on a long path towards completion. It now has a significantly higher bid from a consortium of NASDAQ OMX and ICE. And each deal has substantial regulatory risks. Although neither deal may doable, the directors will ultimately have to pick one. There could be lots of opportunity for second guessing here. Those independent directors are undoubtedly wondering why they signed up for this board.
What happens next? In the short run it is pretty straightforward. The NASDAQ bid was all of two pages accompanied by an aggressive set of slides aimed at market professionals.
NYSE can't call NASDAQ to get more information quite yet. It is prohibited by the agreement between NYSE and DB. First the NYSE board will have to meet and make some determinations. To open negotiations and information sharing with NASDAQ, the NYSE board must consult with its legal and financial advisors and then conclude that the NASDAQ proposal is reasonably likely to result in a "Superior Proposal." A "Superior Proposal" is, essentially, a better deal after taking into account price and closing risk.

Kingston: The title win in the ICC Champions Trophy is yet to sink in but India have to get out of the party mode as they take on a resurgent West Indies on Sunday in their opener of the Celkon Mobile Cup tri-series.
Confident and upbeat, India hardly got time to rejoice their Champions Trophy victory before taking the flight to the Caribbean, and fatigue could be a matter of concern for the players. But West Indies would be looking for vengeance for their loss in a league game of the Champions Trophy in England.
The hosts have started their campaign on a winning note by thrashing Sri Lanka by six wickets, with the big positive of Chris Gayle getting back into form with a brilliant 109, which included seven sixes and nine fours.
Interestingly, the captains of both the teams - MS Dhoni and Dwayne Bravo - are Chennai Super Kings team-mates while Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli feature for Royal Challengers Bangalore. So they would be well aware of their strengths and weaknesses.
India undoubtedly look the more formidable side, especially the batsmen top of the order - Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik are in sublime touch and would like to carry on the same momentum into the series. The team management won't tinker with the batting order and look to give a longer run to Rohit at the opening slot considering his success during the Champions Trophy.
On the other hand, West Indies can be unpredictable rather vulnerable when playing against tough oppositions. Undoubtedly they have the players in their line-up to pose a threat to India. On their day, Gayle, Johnson Charles, Dwayne Bravo and Marlon Samuels have the ability to score big runs. Moreover, West Indies' bowling attack comprising Kemar Roach, Ravi Rampaul and Sunil Narine can stand up to India's formidable batting.
It is quite unlikely for India to go in with two seamers. So Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ishant Sharma could form the pace trio. Moreover, it will be a litmus test for Bhuvneshwar to prove himself in the Caribbean conditions. However, Umesh and Ishant won't have much of problem if they bowl to their strength and hit the deck. The spin department would be led by R Ashwin and ably supported by the Champions Trophy golden ball-winner Ravindra Jadeja with his slow left-arm spin.
Probable XIs:
India: 1 Shikhar Dhawan, 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Dinesh Karthik, 5 MS Dhoni (capt/wk), 6 Suresh Raina, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 10 Ishant Sharma, 11 Umesh Yadav
West Indies: 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Johnson Charles, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Dwayne Bravo (capt), 7 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 8 Darren Sammy, 9 Sunil Narine, 10 Ravi Rampaul, 11 Kemar Roach

Question: I want to build an extension to my house. What's the difference between planning permission and "building regulations approval"?
© Merrily Harpur (harpur.org)
Answer: Planning permission is required whenever a landowner or developer wants to develop or change the use of a property. To obtain planning permission, you apply to your local authority before beginning work/changing the use.
The local authority decides whether to grant planning permission (unconditionally or subject to conditions) or to reject the application. An extension to a property in very specific circumstances may not, however, require planning permission if it is what is known as a "permitted development".
We recommend that you contact your local planning authority to find out if your proposed extension falls within the definition of "permitted development".
Whether or not planning permission is needed, all new works will require building regulations approval, which sets a minimum standard for construction.
Whereas planning permission relates to permission to build, building regulations approval deals with the standard of construction of any building. To obtain approval, you can either apply to the local authority or to an approved inspector in the private sector.
What's your problem?

Evan Longoria is 23 years old, less than three years removed from college. He has played 152 games in the majors.
And yet it is already clear that he is on a unique career trajectory. He spent all of six days in the majors before signing a deal that could keep him with the Tampa Bay Rays through 2016 for a total of $44.5 million. By that point, it was already apparent to the baseball world that, so long as he remains healthy, that deal would be a bargain.
Now, in his second tour with the Rays, it is becoming increasingly apparent just how big a bargain he will be.
"I think he's the best player in baseball, bar none. The best baseball player," said Rays (and former Red Sox) outfielder Gabe Kapler. "I feel like there is not a more well-rounded player in baseball than him."
Longoria is a Gold Glove-caliber third baseman who also happens to be as lethal as any hitter in the American League right now. Longoria ranks among American League leaders in average (.367, 4th), homers (11, 2nd), RBIs (44, 1st), OBP (.415, T-6th) and slugging (.767, 1st). He has been a wrecking ball, and no team is more aware of that than the Red Sox.
The Rays shredded the Sox by a 14-5 count, and once again Longoria looked the part of an unstoppable force. He went 2-for-4 with a homer and double while driving in five to increase his ridiculous RBI count against the Sox to 21 in nine games.
Yet the raw numbers didn't tell the complete story. In the first inning, Jon Lester threw a pitcher's pitch – a 94 mph two-seam fastball that ran below Longoria's shins on the outside part of the plate. Longoria squared it, and his screaming liner somehow stayed up long enough to crash just above the centerfield bleachers.
"Pounded him in, pounded him in, and suddenly throw the two-seam away and somehow he stays on it and hits it out to center," said Lester. "Tip your hat, I guess."
In the fifth, Lester hummed a 95 mph fastball at the belt on the inside corner. Longoria managed to turn on it, lofting high fly ball off the top of the Green Monster for a two-run double.
"I think amazed might be the right word because watching him is pretty special. He's an exceptional player. When he showed up, he probably thought he was this good, in a good way. That's probably what's enabled him to, in his second year of big league baseball, to be one of the premier players. You have to think you're that good and he does. He does a great job out there. He continues to impress his teammates and he continues to impress me and I'm sure the competition."
Certainly the Sox are impressed. A full 162-game calendar of Longoria against the Sox, based on the first nine contests of this year, would project to 90 homers and 378 RBIs.
Here are five other things we learned from the Rays' sixth win in nine games against the Sox this year.
Before Saturday, Jon Lester had made 65 career starts. He had never given up as many as eight runs, as he did against the Rays in 4.1 innings in the 14-5 loss.
And yet, Lester had little for which he had to apologize in his outing. Though he gave up 10 hits, almost all – except those struck by the superhuman Longoria – were weak grounders that happened to find holes in the field.
In the six-run fifth inning that knocked Lester from the game, for instance, the Rays collected five singles on grounders in the hole between third and short, and another on a bunt single on which Lester was a bit slow to throw to first.
In many respects, it was a rash of poor luck that conspired to ruin the pitcher's afternoon on a day when he featured an explosive fastball and a swing-and-miss curve and cutter (Lester struck out five batters in a six-batter span in the third and fourth innings). As such, it was an outing that Lester seemed to find both confusing and immensely frustrating.
"It's frustrating to get those results when I feel like I threw the ball pretty well and am going in the right direction," said Lester, whose record fell to 2-3 with a 6.31 ERA. "I don't really know what to say to it. I don't think there are a whole lot of adjustments that need to be done.
"I know that I keep saying that," he added. "It's probably getting old. I feel like I'm throwing the ball pretty well. Right now, the balls aren't going at people."
The pitcher is correct. Contact is yielding incredibly poor outcomes for Lester, as opponents' batting average on balls in play (meaning any outcome other than a homer or strikeout, both of which reflect directly on the pitcher, rather than his fielders) is .370. That is the 69th worst number among 71 American League pitchers who have thrown at least 20 innings this year, and well above the league average of .302 on balls in play.
That, in turn, suggests that Lester has been betrayed by both his defense and his luck. In that vein, it is worth mentioning that the Sox have been among the worst teams in baseball at turning balls in play into outs. They have done so just 67.6 percent of the time, ranked 25th in baseball.
Of course, much of Lester's bad luck occurred on the same part of the diamond. One grounder after another in that fateful fifth scooted through the left side of the infield, through the hole between short and third.
Naturally, any time a ball travels within the same zip code as Julio Lugo and does not get caught, the shortstop is going to get hammered for his defensive shortcomings. That was certainly the case on Saturday, as the crowd at Fenway booed him throughout an inning when five seemingly harmless dribblers went untouched en route to left field.
"A lot of those balls, off the bat, I thought were outs. It just seemed like our guys were paying one step the wrong way. Not saying they're in the wrong position, but it just seems like that's the way things are going for me right now," said Lester. "I threw some good pitches there, they beat them into the ground and just out of the reach of guys. That's baseball and it happens. But obviously it's frustrating. I'd like to have those balls obviously hit five or six feet the other way and they're outs or double plays."
Lugo, still less than two weeks into his return to the majors following knee surgery, said that he should have gloved one of those balls. Had he done so, it could have changed the complexion of the inning completely.
After Aki Iwamura led off the fifth with a single, Rays catcher Dioner Navarro hit a sharp grounder to Lugo's right. The ball went just beyond Lugo's grasp, as the shortstop seemed to alligator arm a potential double-play ball.
"I know I could have come up with that ball that Navarro hit," said Lugo. "I just couldn't come up with it."
"The last thing I want to do and I would never do this is throw a game on Lugey," said manager Terry Francona. "(But) if Navarro hits the ball, potentially it's nobody on, two out."
(When Lugo came off the D.L., he said that he was still experiencing discomfort when bending down and to the right, something that could have impaired his range on such a ball. On Saturday, he insisted that he is no longer dealing with physical limitations in his return from knee surgery in mid-March.)
The other balls were likely unplayable, but the Fenway crowd nevertheless offered a verbal referendum every time that Lugo was in the vicinity of another grounder through the hole.
Lugo makes a popular target, regardless of what he does, because he has performed poorly for much of the time since he signed a four-year, $36 million deal prior to the 2007 season. But the notion that he is somehow an albatross on the Sox is possible to exaggerate.
A year ago, the Sox were 49-30 (.620) and gave up an average of 4.2 runs per game when he started last year. The team was 46-37 (.554) and was hit for an average of 4.4 runs a game when anyone else started at short.
Obviously, that's not to suggest that Lugo solidified the defense or the team. Plenty of other factors (for instance, injuries to J.D. Drew and Mike Lowell) influenced the fact that the team had a worse winning percentage and allowed more runs per game while Lugo missed the second half. But it does suggest that the notion that he is hurting the club can – and often is – exaggerated.
It is likely too soon to draw a conclusion one way or the other in 2009. Lugo is still working, as Francona said, to get "some of that athleticism back. It's there and we know it and he knows it."
For now, his range and defensive abilities – never spectacular to begin with – are being hindered. Given that Mike Lowell, coming off of surgery on his right hip, still seemingly is trying to regain his range to his right, the Sox have been having some problems in the field.
Lugo has been a part of that, but perhaps not in a fashion commensurate with the boos he received on Saturday. Still, he is separating his defensive struggles from his offense. Thus far, Lugo is enjoying good results at the plate since returning. He hit a homer as one of his two hits on Saturday to improve his average to .357, and his OPS to .936.
Make no mistake, Longoria has been extraordinary against the Red Sox this year. He's hitting .405 with a .442 OBP and .946 slugging mark, slamming five homers and driving in 21 in just nine games against the Sox this year. It would be difficult to argue with the assertion that he is the man who is most responsible for the Rays' 6-3 record against the Sox this year.
But Carl Crawford has been nearly as significant a menace to the Sox. The Rays' No. 2 hitter is hitting .474 with a .512 OBP and .658 against Boston this year. After going 3-for-4 with a walk on Saturday, he has reached base in 13 of his last 16 plate appearances against the Sox dating to last Sunday.
Every time he reaches base, he has been a source of distraction and aggravation to opposing pitchers. Longoria has been the beneficiary.
"I'm really setting it up for those guys," explained Crawford. "When I'm on base, I'm trying to get them a good pitch, or get in scoring position."
"Pitchers don't want to throw Longo breaking balls with Carl on first," added Rays manager Joe Maddon. "I know Longo's been seeing better pitches."
The Sox were left with a consolation prize on Saturday, as Crawford failed to steal a base against them, breaking a streak of five straight games with at least one steal against Boston. Given that Crawford scored three runs and drove in another, it seems unlikely that the Sox took too much joy in the fact.
When Takashi Saito signed with the Sox this offseason, it was surely with the expectation of pitching meaningful innings, giving the Sox a second closer behind Jonathan Papelbon. His 1.95 ERA entering through 2008 was the second-best ever for a pitcher in his first three seasons (min. 150 games). Opponents hit just .182 with a .511 OPS against him, as Saito struck out 11.6 batters per nine innings.
Yet Saito has not been that pitcher with the Sox. Indeed, of late, he has been treated as something of a mop-up man for the Sox as he tries to rediscover the form that made him one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball.
On Saturday, Saito was the second reliever into the game, asked to pick up innings to spare his team's setup men. He came into an inglorious game situation, with runners on second and third and no outs in the sixth inning of an 11-3 contest. He gave up a hit, an intentional walk and a 400-foot sac fly.
Afterwards, he told Japanese reporters that he is struggling in his adjustment to entering the game as dictated by need after having owned the ninth for the Dodgers. Of course, he also recognizes that he must prove himself to his new team if he wants to change from his current station to a more predictable and meaningful one.
He now has a 4.50 ERA. Opponents have hit .292 against him with an .812 OPS. He has just one 1-2-3 inning this year.
Only once all year have the Sox entrusted him with a one-run lead. In that instance, he coughed it up in an eventual 9-8 loss to the Indians. Since that time, he has appeared in five games, none with the Sox leading or trailing by any less than four runs.
Because the Sox have such impressive setup men in Ramon Ramirez, Hideki Okajima and Manny Delcarmen, they can afford to allow Saito time to rediscover his form on the mound. But they seem likely to do so in situations that are anything but high leverage.
Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis, out of the lineup since Monday with what he describes as a "left side" injury (asked whether it was an oblique, he said that he wasn't sure of the exact medical terminology of the injury), said that he continues to improve. Even so, he has yet to resume baseball activities.
As of Saturday, he had yet to swing a bat since leaving in the middle of Monday's game against the Yankees. With an off-day scheduled on Monday, the Sox are hoping that he will continue to improve and be ready to return -- or nearly ready to return -- by the start of the series against the Angels on Tuesday.
If that proves impossible, then the first baseman suggested that he could end up landing on the disabled list.
"If I can't get in by this roadtrip," said Youkilis, "they'll probably put me on the D.L. I want to play as soon as possible."
Sox manager Terry Frnaocna, however, suggested that the D.L. was not an imminent possibility.
"No. We're at five (games missed) today, tomorrow's six, then we have a day off," Francona said. "Unless there was something really compelling -- he'd have to feel really good tomorrow -- with that day off Monday, we'll try to use that to his advatnage. Since it's gone this far, we don't want to jeopardize the D.L. to get him in one game."
Youkilis felt confident that he is progressing in the right direction.
"Everyday it gets better. Today it feels good, and hopefully tomorrow it feels even better," he said. "We don't have a timetable, but we want to make sure it's 100 percent so it doesn't happen again all year."
As difficult as it's been for Youkilis to miss time, he said that the undertaking has been made somewhat bearable by the success of the Sox in his absence. The team has gone 3-2 in the five games he's missed, and has averaged 6.8 runs per game in the process.

Simplicity theory
Simplicity theory is a cognitive theory that seeks to explain the attractiveness of situations or events to human minds. It is based on work done by scientists like Nick Chater, Paul Vitanyi, Jean-Louis Dessalles, and Jürgen Schmidhuber. It claims that interesting situations appear simpler than expected to the observer.
Technically, simplicity corresponds in a drop in Kolmogorov complexity, which means that, for an observer, the shortest description of the situation is shorter than anticipated. For instance, the description of a consecutive lottery draw, such as 22-23-24-25-26-27, is significantly shorter than a typical one, such as 12-22-27-37-38-42. The former requires only one instantiation (choice of a number among all possible numbers in the lottery), whereas the latter requires six instantiations.
Simplicity theory makes several quantitative predictions concerning the way distance, recency, prominence (places, individuals), or atypicality influence interestingness.
The basic concept of simplicity theory is unexpectedness, defined as the difference between expected complexity and observed complexity:
In most contexts, corresponds to generation complexity, which is the smallest description of all parameters that must be set in the "world" for the situation to exist. In the lottery example, generation complexity is identical for a consecutive draw and a typical draw (as long as no cheating is imagined) and amounts to six instantiations.
Simplicity theory avoids most criticisms addressed at Kolmogorov complexity by considering only descriptions that are available to a given observer (instead of any imaginable description). This amounts to saying that complexity, and thus unexpectedness, are observer-dependent. For instance, the typical draw 12-22-27-37-38-42 will appear very simple, even simpler than the consecutive one, to the person who played that combination.
Connection with probability[edit]
Unexpectedness is linked to subjective probability as
The advantage of this formula is that subjective probability can be assessed without necessarily knowing the alternatives. Classical approaches to probability would consider all situations in the world as having virtually zero probability to have occurred, as each situation is complex and unique. Simplicity theory avoids this trap by considering that subjective improbability is only due to complexity drop.

McNally is also a multi- millionaire who got his first leg- up in business making components for slot machines operated by the Kray twins - he swears he didn't know who they were for - and went on to invent the steel alloy wheel and puncture-proof tyre. His latest gadget, an automatic roulette machine, goes on sale in this country shortly. Another McNally device, a computerised car park, is being built on three sites and he has plans to develop a low-budget, high-performance sports car.
He employs 30 people here and 150 in the US through his company, McNally Industries. The roulette machines and components for the car parks will be made at a new factory being built with government support in Mansfield.
His car parks, he says, are the future. 'Greedy planners want more office blocks. Normally, they can only provide parking for three or four cars. But I can supply parking for 30 or 40 cars in the same amount of space.'
He uses a working model in his kitchen to show how computerised lifts park the cars automatically. When the owner returns, it can retrieve the car from five floors up in less than 40 seconds.
If the system breaks down - and four computers ensure it shouldn't - McNally says he will lay on a limousine to take you where you want to go.
One car park is being erected at Heathrow airport and two more are going up in central London. 'Think about it. If you're building a block of 20 apartments, nobody will give you planning permission unless you can provide parking for 20 cars. This can do that in hardly any space at all.'
And, he claims, his car park - assembled like a giant Meccano set - costs pounds 5,000 per parking space for a minimum of 10 cars, compared with pounds 12,000-15,000 for German and Japanese versions, which only start at 50-60 cars. 'Theirs are much more expensive and you have to be a rocket scientist to maintain them. This beats the hell out of the Japanese and Germans.'
Behind him, a photo of John Major beams down approvingly.

Union hopes crystal brand challenge will bring back jobs
A trade union is mounting a legal challenge to bring the manufacture of Waterford Crystal back to its native city.
UNITE wants to force the owners of the famous brand to stop making it abroad.
The union will take a test case to the registry of trademarks in Alicante in Spain, and it could end up at the European Courts of Justice.
Papers were lodged yesterday with the Spanish trademark registry, but it could be up to a year before there is an outcome.
More than 600 jobs were lost in 2009 when the company went into receivership. KPS later bought the Waterford Crystal brand and moved most of the manufacturing out of Ireland to Europe and South America.
The union said it would challenge the use of the iconic trademark on glass that is not produced in Waterford.
UNITE national co-ordinator Walter Cullen said Champagne and Parma had successfully protected the link between their names and products made there.
In addition, Movenpick was recently prevented from making a link to Swiss chocolate, when production was actually taking place in Germany.
KPS Capital Partners' subsidiary, Waterford Wedgwood Royal Doulton, claimed it was committed to returning manufacturing to Waterford since it was formed in March 2009.
It noted that it had opened the House of Waterford Crystal in June 2010, following consultation with Waterford City Council and UNITE, which led to the creation of 120 jobs.
It said production at the House of Waterford Crystal had steadily increased since June 2010 and it was currently operating at full capacity, producing over 50,000 pieces a year.
However, it added there were no plans to extend this.

There are no words to describe how bad Anthony Sylvan is as a pool builder, I've spent four years trying to resovle shotty workmanship that ultimately caused cracking in the pool structure.
If you're considering them as a pool company, STAY AWAY!!
They have shown themselves as a user of illegal immigrant labor, a subcontractor nightmare and more then anything else, a company that doesn't care about the end user.
They only care about pumping up the stock price by hammoring in as many pools as possible, while Stuart Neidus cashes out his stock grants.
Go with the small guy, Anthony Sylvan is a sweat shop in disguise!!...

Honest effort
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 05, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, June 05, 2013
After several attempts to correct my misreable pool issues, I managed to get in contact with a manager that was extremely apologetic and very upset with the experience I underwent over the past 4 years.
Since speaking with him, they have made an honest effort to correct my pool issues and insured it will never happen again.
My confidence has always been in the warrantee they offer, but it's amazing how frustrated you can get when that one employee gives you a hard time.
After 4 years, they are still honoring my warrantee and at this point, I'd imagine it's on their dime....
I'm not sure how many other companies could or would see this problem through, but thank god I hired Anthony Sylvan.
Sincerely a much happier Anthony Sylvan customer!

It's taken this long to upload a post in celebration of all things Miami because I am distraught that we've already been away from South Beach for more than a week now. Do you ever have a case of "I-wanna-go-back" when your vacay is all said and done?
To anyone that has yet to venture to Miami, I HIGHLY recommend it! We had an incredible time and it's a perfect destination for a weekend away with friends, family, yourself, etc.
Last year, we booked our Scottsdale Trip through Southwest Vacations, so we decided to use their travel planning services again for Miami... hands down, if you're looking for a fantastic hotel with inexpensive airfare, this is a great resource! They make it SO easy for you and you have the ability to select between a ton of hotel options, based on star-rating, location, amenities, and so much more.
Moving right along, we decided to fly out Friday night to avoid some early Labor Day crowds, yet of course we were delayed that night so we didn't arrive until after 1AM... although in Miami that's considered early so people were out and about heading to the bars when we were pulling into our hotel, 1 Hotel South Beach. That night, we decided it was an absolute MUST to partake in some local late night pizza so we had some delivered to our room with cocktails... starting the party off right!
The next morning, we did a bit of exploring around the property and then headed to Beachcraft for breakfast... laid back, relaxing atmosphere with the perfect morning food and drink. Afterwards, we headed up to the Adult-Only Rooftop Pool Deck and spent the day relaxing, cocktailing, swimming, and watching a bit of football with the boys.
That night, we ventured out to Barton G, a local favorite dining experience that had been recommended by a ton of people! It was absolutely amazing... the food, the drinks, the entire experience was beyond phenomenal and it's something we won't soon forget! It was incredible and the sparkler sundae dessert was the icing on the cake to an incredible meal.
Sunday morning came and we took a walk on the beach for some early morning exercise... oh a fun place for people watching like I've mentioned before so binoculars could be a good accessory to have in tow ;) Afterwards, we got ready and took the hotel car service over to the famous Delano Hotel for brunch at Bianca. Hands down, this was my favorite meal from the trip... bottomless Veuve Cliquot with any kind of food you can imagine and it was a match made in heaven. We practically had to roll ourselves out of the restaurant after we were finished!
That afternoon, we took it easy and laid out at the Main Pool Deck, drinking some infamous mojitos, munching on their amazing guacamole, and relaxing by the pool... just what the doctor ordered!
Sunday night, we walked over to STK Miami for dinner, which was conveniently located adjacent to our hotel... even better! To whoever recommended us eating there, THANK YOU... a big winner for all of us: the steaks, the atmosphere, and the house DJ with music made for a late night and we celebrated in style!
Morning came around and we decided to order in breakfast from a local eatery before heading out to the pool... sadly the weather wasn't cooperating very well, so we asked the hotel concierge for a recommendation for the best cuban sandwich, which sent us over to the Lincoln Road Mall to eat at Havana 1957. And yes, you should go there... tiny little hole in the wall with fantastic mojitos, really tasty cubans, and you can watch shoppers while you eat!
Our last night called for one final fancy dinner out and we took the recommendation from my dear Andee Layne and headed to Cecconi's for an authentic Italian dinner... homemade pastas, the best cucumber mint cocktail I've had [called The Eastern Standard on their menu] and delicious Tiramisu to top it all off! Afterwards, we headed back to our hotel for one last hoorah on the rooftop deck for nighttime fun and the party was over! Tuesday was spent packing up, sipping on a few last cocktails, and catching our plane home to our babies...
Such a fun, adult friendly, happy little vacation away from all the hustle and bustle and I definitely recommend it for a fun destination that's close enough for a long weekend, but far away to feel like a real vacay!

Sulfur Effects on the Elemental Composition of Alfalfa (Medicago saliva L.) and Corn (Zea mays L.)1
- A. C. Caldwell,
- E. C. Seim and
- G. W. Rehm2
Forms of S at various rates were applied to alfalfa (Medicago saliva L.) and corn (Zea mays L.) grown on 3-deficient soil. Tissue samples were collected and analyzed for S, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, AI, St, Mo, Co, Na, Si, and Ba. Sulfur content of alfalfa increased with increasing rates of S applied. The N content of both young and mature alfalfa was increased, but P content was confistently decreased by increasing rates of S. Elemental S at 112 kg S/ha, applied annually, increased the Mn content of alfalfa and decreased the B content. In general, levels of other elements in alfalfa were not consistently affected by S application. Sulfur increased the levels of S in corn, and also increased the N content in the mature plant. Phosphorus in corn was decreased but no consistent effect of S was found on the other nutrient elements in corn.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.
