Nine-year-old girl plays key role in burglary arrest By JENNIFER ROMPEL Staff Writer Arrest could be end to series of burglaries in area A nine-year-old girl from the Spring Branch area played a key role in the arrest of a woman suspected to have burglarized several homes in the Buiverde/Spring Branch area. The girl, whose name is not being released by authorities, had the initiative to inform her mother that she had seen a strange woman and an unfamiliar car at a neighbor's home, according to Chief Elwood Hoheiz of the Comal County Sheriff's Office. Hoherz said the mother confronted the woman, who was at a house on Rainbow Drive in Spring Branch. The woman said she was cleaning the house; however, the girl's mother later identified the suspect and an arrest warrant was issued. According to Hoherz, deputies had been investigating burglaries in the area. After the girl saw the woman at her neighbor's house, deputies called the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. Bexar County was able to provide a picture of a possi ble suspect. Detective Rick Cardenas took the picture to the woman who had confronted the suspect. She identifed the suspect as Jennifer Lynn Greene, 28. According to Hoherz, Cardenas then contacted Bexar County and Kendall County and informed them of the warrant. Bexar County sheriffs deputies arrested Greene. At the time of her arrest, deputies also found several stolen items in her car, a silver Subaru. She was later taken to the Comal County Sheriffs Office where deputies charged her with three counts of burglary of a habitation. Further charges could be assessed at a later date. "The keen observation of a little 9-year-old girl is what broke the case,'' said Hoherz. "We think she's a hero.'' Detective Ed Whitson and Cardenas were both involved in solving the case. Deputies seized three guns, a fax machine, typewriter, gloves, chainsaw and jewelry. Greene is being held in the Comal County Jail. Total bond is $42,400. Police to search car after dog smells drug odor By JENNIFER ROMPEL Staff Writer New Braunfels police officers arrested two men Thursday following a traffic stop on Interstate Highway 35. According to K-9 Officer, Corporal Spencer Gremmer, a 1987 Dodge Charger was stopped at 12:33 p.m. Thursday on Interstate Highway 35 near Canyon High School.

Murder suspect turns himself in By JENNIFER ROMPEL Staff Writer The suspect in a capital murder case in Marion turned himself in Thursday afternoon at the Guadalupe County Sheriffs Office. Alberto Russell, 22, the brother of one of the murder victims, was arrested and charged with capital murder. The homicide occurred Wednesday night on Old Marion Road, one mile north of the city of Marion. According to reports, Jonathan Russell, 13, and Maria Russell, 54, were found dead by Guadalupe County sheriffs deputies Wednesday night. The two victims were found in the garage of their home.

The suspect was driving a 1987 Ford Bronco. The vehicle was later found at a convenience store on San Antonio street in New Braunfels It was found by New-Braunfels police officers who had been notified to look for both the victim and the car County commissioners veto WORD field manager proposal By CRAIG HAMMETT Staff Writer County commissioners vetoed a proposition by the board of the Water Oriented Recreation District to add a position to the WORD office. The board had restructured the budget to allow} 12,000 dollars for a Field Manager to be hired. The Field Manager would work through the summer season, then be evaluated in the fall. "This particular budget amendment removes several hundred dollars from things like cleanup," said Commissioner J. L. "Jumbo" Evans, who along with other commissioners did not want fonds diverted from other budget departments to pay for the extra help. County Judge Carter Casteel said the commis sioners wanted to meet with members of the WORD board to address the needs and methods by which funds could be distributed, either through word fonds or by outside contract. "I don't want to tell WORD how to conduct their business," said Casteel. "We need to have this workshop so we can talk about this, see where it is headed." WORD Manager Jim Inman said he is not able to handle the daily duties during summer due to increased paper work. "This field manager would spend a lot of time in the field," said Inman. "I'm stuck in this office and can't get out." The court also passed a new interlocal agreement with WORD to allow the district to move its offices to Settler. WORD now uses space in the courthouse free of charge. The county will not pay for the space or the additional expenses such as utilities. The court did discuss cleanup efforts slated for May 16. According to Inman, the cleanup is sponsored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has been done the last three years along the upper part of the river. This year, the cleanup will include both the upper and lower parts of the river. Inman said WORD has agreed to budget $6,000 to contract for the meal at Canyon Lake following the cleanup. Talk then centered on port-a-potties A portion of the agreement enabled the county to provide funds for specific purposes such as helping the cleanup, more specifically, to provide port-a- potties. This must be done through contract, ne simply through one county department donatin money. "What we could do is provide a contract wit WORD to offer assistance in the cleanup effort, said Casteel. Commissioner Neil Craigmilc objected to th process He said the county could do this tnroug their own services "lf we want to assist the cleanup, we can do th ourselves We can do that without a contract." The court did authorize dumpsters for use du ing the cleanup. The dumpsters will be placed c county right-of-way locations at the gate house c River Road and in Sattlcr at the intersection ( River Road and Old Saltier Road The durn* stere will be placed May 13 and removed Ma> IiFor subscription, news or advertising information, call 625-9144 (Metro 606 ;

Her long-awaited biography of The Royals appeared just two weeks after Diana's death. Kelley's relentless documenting of below-stairs tittle- tattle was as compelling as it was tawdry. Her revelations that, from the sainted Queen Mother on down, the House of Windsor is all fur coat and no knickers were widely applauded. A great pity there is no British edition. (qv Villains)
Roald Dahl
BBC TV's Bookworm survey revealed him to be the favourite author among readers under 16. Seven Dahl titles featured in the top 10, with Matilda at number one.
Beryl Bainbridge
Every Man for Himself was shortlisted for the Booker, the Whitbread and the Orange. It won none of them, save for the category prize of the Whitbread. Throughout, Bainbridge remained the good loser.
John Calder
While major publishers wrung their hands, doughty independent John Calder went to the High Court to fight for the Net Book Agreement against the Office of Fair Trading. A sure case of David taking on Goliath. This time, however, Goliath won. Calder branded the Publishers Association "craven, foolish, ignorant, suicidal".
Victoria Barnsley
At the British Book Awards, Fourth Estate's founder and managing director, Victoria Barnsley, proved that independent publishers can survive and prosper. Fourth Estate was named Publisher of the Year and their author Dava Sobel won the Book of the Year Award for Longitude.
Orlando Figes
The author collected no fewer than four prizes for A People's Tragedy, his history of the Russian Revolution: the Wolfson History Award, the NCR Award, the W H Smith Literary Award and the Longman/History Today Book Prize. The total booty was pounds 53,500. "Bloody heck!" Figes exclaimed, when the pounds 25,000 NCR was announced.
Ben Glazebrook
Constable, an old-fashioned independent that owes its health to vampirism - they published Bram Stoker's original Dracula in 1897 - enjoyed an upturn in profits. A family firm, its chairman was delighted to be voted best publisher in a survey of members of the Society of Authors. The morning the results were known, each member of staff received a pounds 50 note pinned to a thank-you letter.
David Campbell
Disappointed at the lack of literary Millennium projects, the Everyman publisher despatched a proposal to the Commission. The result was the Millennium Library Trust - pounds 4m from the Millennium Fund plus pounds 4m from Campbell - which will put a 250-volume Everyman Library in 4,500 state secondary schools.
VILLAINS Kitty Kelley (qv Heroes)
Andrew Morton
Having previously said he could happily "live off the ashes of the House of Windsor", Morton was castigated for doing just that when he announced that Diana was the source for his best-selling book. Diana: Her True Story - In Her Own Words was hastily reissued with a new introduction and with the Princess's words now in quotation marks. A "portion" only of its royalties go to charity.
Elton John
Applauded for his exemplary performance at Westminster Abbey, rock's very own Queen Mum spoiled it all by immediately launching a bid to sell his memoirs for around pounds 10m. No buyer has yet emerged.
Piers and Hilary du Pre
The brother and sister of the late cellist marked the 10th anniversary of her death with a memoir that seems to have no other purpose than to knock Jacqueline du Pre off a pedestal that was not of her own choosing. Billed as "extraordinarily revealing", A Genius in the Family was nothing but a settling of family scores by two vastly less talented siblings. EMI have refused to license Jackie's recordings for use in the film of the book, from which the BBC have pulled out.
A M Homes
The American author was reviled as "depraved" and her "paedophile" novel The End of Alice as "debasing and repugnant". The NSPCC's call for a ban was ignored, though it put the novel on to the front pages. Despite that, sales were inconsequential.
Anthony Forbes Watson
After several years of torpidity following Peter Mayer's return to New York, Penguin finally started to flap its wings. The new chief executive, who moved from Ladybird, hired a new MD, Helen Fraser, whose brief was to give the old bird a makeover. Forbes Watson departed for holiday, leaving Fraser to take the flak for hirings and firings.
John Holloran
The departure of much-loved Sandy Grant from Reed Books and the appointment of the much-disliked John Holloran as chief executive in late 1996 signalled the end of the road for Heinemann, Secker, Methuen et al. Charged by Reed Elsevier with selling the division, he vowed it would be "sold not stolen". In the event, Random House paid a little over pounds 17m - less than a quarter of the price Virgin had offered the previous year.
Nicholas Byam Shaw
Having bought Boxtree in 1996 in order to acquire its founding MD, Sarah Mahaffy, whom he appointed as managing director of Macmillan, the group's chairman abruptly released her from her duties. No reason was given but industry observers noted that, while Byam Shaw had wanted her to breathe fresh air into Macmillan, he hadn't wanted a gale. In January, Richard Charkin takes over from Byam Shaw as chairman.
Bill Cockburn
In just two years at W H Smith, the chief executive instigated a massive cut-back in its range of books, a decision which adversely affected many smaller publishers. He also sacked 1,000 staff in a massive restructuring. When the going got tough, Cockburn got going, joining BT. It's good to talk - and, fortunately, Smith's shareholders don't have to talk to him any more.

Copper Drops as Stockpiles Increase, Rally Seen ExcessiveLuzi Ann Javier and Maria Kolesnikova
Copper fell for the first time in five sessions in New York amid signs of increased supply. Nickel slid for a second day before a presidential election in Indonesia, the world's largest producer.
Copper inventories monitored by the London Metal Exchange increased 1.8 percent to 159,350 metric tons, as stockpiles in Busan, South Korea, jumped by almost half. The metal reached a 19-week high on July 3 after a report showing U.S. unemployment at the lowest in almost six years boosted speculation that demand will rise.
"With the inventories increasing, we're seeing a little bit of a negative tone in the market, especially since the rally we had last week was a little bit overdone," Tom Power, a senior market strategist at RJO Futures in Chicago, said in a telephone interview.
Copper futures for delivery in September dropped 0.6 percent to settle at $3.261 a pound at 1:11 p.m. on the Comex in New York, where floor trading was closed on July 4 for the Independence Day holiday. Prices rose 3.5 percent last week, the most since September 20.
The metal's 14-day relative-strength index stayed above 70 since July 2, a level seen by some traders who study technical charts as a sign that the price is poised to fall.
"I'm not too concerned of any major pullback," said Power. The price drop may be "a buying opportunity," he said.
On the LME, copper for delivery in three months declined 0.3 percent to $7,125 a ton.
Nickel fell 0.4 percent to $19,330 a ton in London. Prices have surged 39 percent this year after Indonesia, the largest producer of the metal from mines, banned raw-ore exports in January. Voters will elect a new president on July 9.
The metal declined "ahead of uncertainty surrounding the Indonesian elections," Cailey Barker, an analyst at Numis Securities Ltd. in London, wrote in a note. "The impact on commodity exports with a change of leadership is unclear. Either way, we do not expect a sudden lifting of export restrictions."
Zinc, aluminum and lead rose in London, while tin fell.

Chapter 2: "I FEEL ASLEEP!!"—Guard, Metal Gear
"Shit," Randal whispered to himself. "What the hell?" He wiggled the analog stick on his wireless game controller, pressed all four colored buttons and pulled all four triggers. His avatar wouldn't move. She just stood there. He wondered if it might be the batteries, but no, he could still bring up the console's menu screen. It looked like the game had frozen. They hadn't had a game-freezing bug in over a month, and a new one this close to shipping meant someone was going to get their ass handed to them. He made a note in his log and turned off and then restarted his machine. Then, for the first time in too many hours, he stood up, stretching his arms above his head, cracking knuckles, and exposing a sliver of white, not too terribly flabby belly below his logo-free, plain blue t-shirt. Looking at the clock on his PC on the desk next to him, he exhaled a long breath. 5:30 was quitting time in most of the world. Not here of course, not this month. It was crunch time, and he'd only been here nine hours, the day was hardly getting started and free pizza wouldn't arrive until 7:00.
He checked his office e-mail, leaning over the back of his chair and poking at the keyboard. Memos, meetings, jokes, alerts. The usual. He unclipped his phone from his belt and checked his personal mail. More alerts, more jokes. Something from Adult Friend Finder listing 35 hot singles in his area. He opened that and scrolled through quickly, but none of the new faces caught his eye. He winced inside when he saw one of the familiar ones and erased the e-mail. He took the time to confirm in Outlook that he would in fact be attending tomorrow morning's optional (but not actually optional at all) Production Feedback Meeting, or "bitch session" as everyone referred to it outside of company e-mail threads. He glanced back at the console and saw that the game was back up and ready to go. At least it no longer mattered to him exactly how long it took the machine to boot. His first job in the industry had been as a day-hire, sitting in a lab with a stopwatch turning Xboxes on and off over and over again and timing how long it took them to fire up and load Halo. Somewhere in the building there were probably poor shlubs doing something just as brain-numbing for $8 an hour, but he wasn't one of them anymore.

Cleveland State self-reported two secondary violations that occurred between 1997 and 2001. The university did not state what the violations were. They did not involve academics or current members of the coaching staff, athletic department spokesman Brian McCann said.
Ken McFadden, the university's all-time leading scorer, had accused an athletic department official of helping players write papers.
McFadden, nicknamed "Mouse" when he scored 2,256 points for the Vikings from 1985 to 1989, told The Plain Dealer in September that associate athletic director Chris Sedlock has written numerous papers for players. McFadden was fired as Cleveland State's ticket manager in June 2003 after five years.
The NCAA determined that Cleveland State officials had not provided any inappropriate educational assistance to players. Several players reported that staff members proofread papers, which does not violate the university's academic guidelines.
"There was no question in my mind that we would receive a positive report from the NCAA and the university's office of legal affairs," athletic director Lee Reed said in a statement.
Arkansas freshman Cranford to redshirt
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas three-point specialist Preston Cranford will redshirt this season and take the time to try to become a better player, Razorback coach Stan Heath said.
Cranford said Heath brought up the idea of redshirting, saying it would put the player a in better position to contribute later in his career. The sophomore from Heber Springs received a scholarship this year after walking on last season when Al Jefferson went to the NBA.
"Really in the end it was a pretty easy decision," Cranford said. "I enjoy it here, and one more year isn't going to do anything but make me better. This year I'm not sure how much playing time I would have gotten, so another year to get stronger definitely helps my chances."

I think mine is Citra what's yours?
Depends on the beer.
For American IPAs, I am really liking Mosaic.
Citra , perhaps Centennial
I'm down with Amarillo.
It's a toss up between Citra and Motueka for me.
C'mon. No one is gonna say Cascade?!!
Love saaz for finishing a saison.
Nelson Sauvin
Kent Goldings
You didn't specify bittering or aroma, that makes a big difference. (IMO)
I'll be different, Chinook.
Citra and cascade are my favorites. Simcoe is one that I don't agree with the hype. Simcoe gets way too catty for me. I really prefer citra for the flavor additions(opposed to bittering) but cascade fits the bill for any addition. Magnum is great for clean bittering.
The tropical, citrus ones.
bitter ones
Whatever the hell they toss into Heady Topper.
Simcoe or chinook. I love pine.
Anything from New Zealand.
Citra or Simcoe for me.
Citra, Galaxy
Citra or Nelson in an iPa
Saaz in a saison
Centennial and citra.
Amarillo and Simcoe together = yum.
Simcoe, then Centennial, then Amarillo
My favorite is Citra. I also like Citra + Simcoe combo.
Centennial. I've got a love hate thing going on with Citra. I find that it falls off the cliff really early, and when it does it becomes absolutely undrinkable

I'm given each closer a "security number" from 0 to 5; anyone at 5 is a no-worries sort of property, while the zeroes basically could get Borowskied at any minute. Competition for the ball, injury history and trade potential are factored into each closer's grade, along with recent and projected performance. I've also tried to suggest good hedge plays as we hunt for saves; obviously this is a constant task for any serious fantasy player.
American League East
Mariano Rivera, Yankees (5): Amidst little fanfare, Rivera is having arguably his best season: a ridiculous 12.50 K/BB rate, a tiny 0.64 ratio. The Yankees have set him up for a win or a save in 27 of his 38 appearances. There's no clear successor for the ninth if something happens to Rivera - it's doubtful the Yankees would take Joba Chamberlain out of the rotation now. Kyle Farnsworth is the biggest name of the set-up men, but Edwar Ramirez and Jose Veras have pitched better in 2008. It makes more sense to speculate elsewhere.
Jonathan Papelbon, Red Sox (5): His ERA is half a run higher than 2007 but the peripherals suggest Papelbon is actually pitching better this time around; he's spiked his ground-ball rate with only a minor giveback in strikeouts, and he's had a jump with his BABIP (.313). In other words, the statheads will tell you what the casual fan already knows - this guy is a stud, and his supporting cast should continue to get him plenty of ninth-inning handshakes (28 saves, three wins). Lefty Hideki Okajima is still the No. 2 option here, in part because so many of the right-handers in The Hub have struggled (Mike Timlin looks all but expired; Manny Delcarmen and Craig Hansen are maddeningly inconsistent). But like the New York situation with Rivera, there's not a lot to grab onto here after the top dog.
George Sherrill, Orioles (3.5): He hasn't pitched anywhere near as well as the save total would suggest; make note of the six blown saves, 24 walks in 39.2 innings, the bloated 1.41 ratio. But Dave Trembley doesn't hesitate when a ninth-inning lead comes around, he calls in his lefty, and that's all that really matters in our fantasy world. The biggest risk with Sherrill comes at the end of the month; he's already 31 and he's arbitration-eligible this winter, so it's possible the Orioles might want to flip Sherrill when he's most attractive to contenders. Jim Johnson has been a surprise this year setting up for Sherrill, though his 2.03 ERA is a mirror show (21 walks against 29 strikeouts over 53.1 innings, .214 BABIP). Nonetheless, if Sherrill were to leave town later this summer, Johnson's eighth-inning work could easily get shuttled to the ninth.
B.J. Ryan, Blue Jays (3.5): While Ryan isn't blowing away hitters like he did a few years back, you have to give him props for the steady hand so far (18-for-20 in saves) given how uncertain his status looked back in March. Underrated journeyman Scott Downs rolled up five quick saves into mid-May when the Jays were still babying Ryan, but he hasn't recorded one since. If Ryan were to get hurt again, Downs and rookie left-hander Jesse Carlson (2.10 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 32 strikeouts in 30 innings) would likely be at the head of the line for the ninth. Jason Frasor has a saves resume if you look back to his rookie year of 2004, but he's been mediocre at best for three seasons now.
Troy Percival, Rays (2.5): Whatever you paid for Percival in March, you've no doubt turned a profit already (19 saves). But how much can we really expect going forward from an aging closer (he turns 39 in August) who's already broken down a couple of times in 2008? Joe Maddon has a lot of options after Percival in his bullpen and he's not afraid to get creative; Dan Wheeler, J.P. Howell and Grant Balfour all have multiple saves. So if Percival's hamstring injury lingers into the second half, this looks like a committee in the worst way. Balfour's 2008 profile presents the best case to close, but Wheeler's "previous closer experience" will likely get factored into the equation, for better or for worse. If you want to bet on skills, hedge with Balfour; if you prefer to speculate on Maddon's whims, Wheeler becomes the play.
American League Central
Joe Nathan, Twins (5): Is it too late for this guy to make a Hall of Fame run? He's been lights-out for five years in this gig and you almost never hear a thing about him. He hasn't picked up any wins this year but what's not to like about 27 saves (on 29 chances), a 1.13 ERA and a 0.93 ratio? Just for kicks, Nathan has upped his strikeouts and ground-ball rate this year while walking fewer batters. Dennys Reyes and Jesse Crain have been adequate as set-up men but please, let's not see them working the ninth.
Joakim Soria, Royals (5): Think the Padres regret letting this guy get away? Put Soria in San Diego's pen last year and the Padres at minimum make the playoffs. Soria was super in 2007 and he's taken it up a level this season, lowering his walk rate, inducing more ground balls, and essentially keeping the same strikeout rate. You hear the occasional whisper of Kansas City putting him in the rotation at some future date, but that's a debate for the winter - it's not going to happen this summer. Leo Nunez was a dynamite set-up guy before getting hurt in late May; rehab reports have been favorable, and he should rejoin the club shortly.
Bobby Jenks, White Sox (4): Don't fret over the fine job Chicago's set-up men have done; Ozzie Guillen prefers Jenks driving in the ninth and that's the way it's going to stay, assuming Jenks's wonky back isn't a lingering problem. Scott Linebrink got first crack to close when Jenks hit the DL early this month, and later Octavio Dotel took a spin - with nasty left-hander Matt Thornton still refined to the set-up ranks. Add it all up and Linebrink looks like the opportunity hedge, while Thornton probably is the skills darling (strong against righties, dominant against lefties). But unless Jenks has a major setback with his back, I'm not going to get the red pen out here.
Masa Kobayashi, Indians (3): He's essentially the last option standing in Cleveland: Joe Borowski finally ran out of
polaroids chances, Rafael Betancourt couldn't handle the ninth, Rafael Perez is somewhat pigeonholed as a lefty/jams guy, and collectively the Indians have the worst relief ERA in the majors. Kobayashi isn't dominating by any means (5.68 K/9), but a heavy ground-ball rate (52.5) keeps him out of trouble. He's already 34 but at least he's got the stomach for the ninth inning - he saved 20 games or more for seven straight seasons in Japan. The Indians aren't going anywhere in 2008, but even losing clubs can and will support a decent saves count for someone, assuming there's just one mouth at the end of the funnel. I'm fine to discuss hedges if and when they seem necessary (you know where to find me), but Kobayashi's path looks clean for the moment.
Todd Jones, Tigers (3): In one corner we have Joel Zumaya, electric stuff but spotty command. On his best days you walk away gushing about his upside. In the other corner is Jones, the old warhorse, a guy who throws oh-so-hittable strikes and needs some help from the gloves behind him. The key here is recognizing that Jim Leyland trusts Jones and extends him a long leash. Jones won't look good on any kind of statistical survey (4.95 ERA, 1.54 ratio, and the deeper numbers are even messier), but Leyland sees 17 saves in 19 chances and he's not making a switch, not before a lot of accidents, anyway. I realize the Zumaya crowd wants a baton pass sometime this summer, but I'm feeling it won't happen until late in the year, if not 2009. We also need to consider that Jones is 40, but again, Leyland seems content to stand by his veteran.
American League West
Francisco Rodriguez, Angels (5): From the peripheral side of things, this hasn't been a banner year for K-Rod: walks and line drives are up, while his strikeout rate has fallen off significantly. But the Angels are getting an awful lot of leads to protect in the ninth inning, and that's why Rodriguez is poised to shatter Bobby Thigpen's save record. From a fantasy perspective, sit back and enjoy the ride, pile up the saves. But if you hear anyone claim K-Rod is the AL's Cy Young favorite, change the channel immediately; timing shouldn't determine a major award winner, performance should. I've generally been afraid to own Rodriguez most years, put off by his loud mechanics and hefty price tag; this year, he's getting the last laugh. Still, if I were drafting tomorrow, I'd let someone else have him.
As for a hedge, it's still Scot Shields, though he's no longer the indestructible man. He's missed time with forearm and ribcage injuries this year. Impressive rookie Jose Arredondo, a favorite of the Y! Nation, also deserves mention.
Huston Street, Athletics (3): Maybe he's not dominant these days but he's still plenty good in the ninth inning. But Street's also arbitration eligible after the season, and you get the idea Billy Beane might not want to devote a major chunk of payroll to a puzzle piece that, in truth, isn't that hard to secure. Said another way, if another club wants to talk about Street at any time this month, Beane's probably taking the call. We can't automatically assume that Street would close for a different club if he's indeed traded, and he's not the most durable closer in the majors, either. Now that I've got everyone scared, let me back up and concede that the odds are better than 50-50 that Street isn't traded, and I figure he's probably good for another 15 saves or so before the curtain draws on the season. But don't let our first impressions of this kid a few years back cloud what his true value should be today.
How to hedge Street? That's a tricky one. Santiago Casilla hasn't looked right since his elbow injury and DL stint; Joey Devine (elbow) is still on the shelf; Andrew Brown doesn't have the idea control for the ninth; Keith Foulke is nothing special these days and has a sore shoulder besides; Alan Embree is in the middle of a mediocre season. Let's pay extra attention to how Bob Geren handles the eighth inning over the next few weeks, and see if Casilla can get back into form.
J.J. Putz, Mariners (3): He's top-shelf when healthy, we all know that, but the shipwrecked Mariners have no reason to take chances with Putz in the second half if there's any type of setback with his elbow. Brandon Morrow has been excellent as the stand-in; for two months no one scored a run off him, and I'll look past his mini-slump right before the All-Star break. When Putz returns (which should be this week or next week), look for Seattle to use him in middle relief once or twice while he gets his groove back.
C.J. Wilson, Rangers (1.5): With his job on the line in the middle of June, Wilson rallied, converting eight saves in a row. But Wilson's last appearance before the break was a messy one (five hits, three runs), and a 5.01 ERA and 1.57 ratio doesn't inspire a lot of ninth-inning confidence. Joaquin Benoit isn't a concern for Wilson owners - he's been worse than the lefty and now he's got a bum shoulder - but Ron Washington might look towards Frank Francisco (3.58 ERA, 10.75 K/9) or Eddie Guardado (2.88 ERA, 0.90 ratio) if Wilson doesn't come out of the blocks quickly.
Later on Thursday: The National League bullpens.

A social media user shared the shocking LONG list of bride price/traditional wedding items his brother received from his prospective in-laws.
The entire list consists of ridiculous demands that cost more than half a million naira. And it doesn't even include food, drinks, canopies, chairs, and other major things needed for the trad.
Can't imagine how much they'll charge the poor guy for the remaining unlisted items. He'll probably commit suicide before the wedding.

Our first Regeneration Partnership Express store
8 Nov 2013
We've opened the doors to our first Regeneration Partnership Express store on Mill Lane in West Derby.
We've opened the doors to our first Regeneration Partnership Express store on Mill Lane in West Derby.
We worked with Jobcentre Plus to find six of our new colleagues – they had all been unemployed for over six months and were keen to get back into work. Our newest colleagues completed eight weeks of pre-employment training at the City of Liverpool College, covering everything from customer service to teamwork, building their skills and confidence so they felt ready to return work.
Here's what two of our new colleagues had to say:
Jennifer Hartley - "I applied for all sorts of jobs with other companies but nobody wanted to hire older people who had been out of work. People think you've nothing left to give, but Tesco saw how much I still had in me."
Stephen Bird – "We came together on our training course as complete strangers, but after eight weeks we have become a team and also good friends. We've proved to ourselves and each other we can tackle anything with a bit of perseverance, positivity and determination, and we can't wait to get started in our new jobs"

5. Bambang Pamungkas (Indonesia and Persija Jakarta)
Sometimes it is not just about scoring goals, though Bambang has done that once again, managing 16 for his club, his love, Persija Jakarta, but he has done much, much more.
Emerging as a spokesperson for players in the troubled football nation of Indonesia who are tired of not getting paid on time, 'Bepe' has shown vision and leadership in a country where it is in short supply, in the football field at least.
He has also spoke out against the division in Indonesian football - with two leagues and FAs - and tried to reclaim the national team for the fans.
It may be hard for others to copy what Bambang does on the pitch but all can learn from the striker off it.

THE PULLERMature
The puller traversed a wasteland that smelt of burning chrome and sulfur, a flimsy box radio blaring a strange mix of static and jazz attached to his waist by a thin length of leather twine. Modern day cowboys they where called, traversing dangerous lengths of uninhabited land hoping to strike it rich with whatever old world technology or scrap they could dredge up.
This one in particular was named Kegan Messer, Puller handle "Abstract", he wore a tight fitting jump-suit colored black with brown plates of metal covering the vital areas, the rest armored with similar plates of hardened leather that raced up his abdomen and down the fronts of his thighs. At his side he carried his side arm, a hand-gun that threw thermite slugs at twice the speed of sound, designed to penetrate armor up to three inches thick. A proper hand-cannon, but still considered standard issue as far as the Pullers where concerned.
It was early in the day, the air still filled with a dull, gray haze. His radio went quiet for a moment before an electronic voice sang brightly, "ITS A GREAT MOOORNING, 555 MARS RADIO" before being replaced by a husky man with a rough, foreign accent.
"Dis is a great morning today indeed!. 555 Mars radio broadcasting across ze cosmos and…and…in two hundred separate languages it's me Captain Blaster doing whatever I want whenever I want to do it…gracias to ze man upstairs for sponsoring our station." he paused, sighed sarcastically.
"So, those of you who do ze dig 'round on Earth had betta watch-out, meteor storms are…expected around noon an-" distortion broke the connection and the radio fell silent, solid, black shapes advancing over the horizon, Kegan leveled his hand-cannon, and soon followed with a hailstorm of bright orange shells.

Who Is This Guy, Barney Stinson?Mature
Ethan slammed his car door shut and sent a text to his friend Pete: I'm here. Where you at, bro? Then he walked inside the Fox and Hound and handed his ID to the bouncer. The bouncer said, "Have a good time, Ethan."
"Will do, man." Ethan said, reading his friend's text: I'm up front by the bar. See that girl next to me? Yeah, I slept with her.
Who is this guy, Barney Stinson? Ethan thought.
Ethan admired his view and couldn't help but smirk. Pete certainly got around. To Ethan, the question was always, will I get some scraps tonight? He was a likable guy, somewhat shy. Trying to get over the baggage of his past relationship. And Pete was his personal trainer and the guy who insisted he got out of the house.
Pete was talking to another of his conquests. Ethan decided to grab a beer and then swing by the table.
"Tell her that I'm not a jerk," Pete said.
"He's kind of a jerk," Ethan said. "But he's our jerk."
"You're an enabler, sir," she said. Then in a pleading voice, proceeded to enable Pete. "Come visit me later, Pete? I miss you."
"We'll see," Pete said.

A proposed pilot project is in the works for the city that would see 100 charging stations for electric vehicles. The plan, going to council's executive committee next Tuesday would see them both public and private locations.
"We don't have very many electric cars in our city, so this is not about serving that small group of people that have electric cars," said Coun. Michael Walters. "This about creating that infrastructure that will actually align with the marketplace."
The report suggests that the transportation sector contributes to 30 per cent of Edmonton's green house gas emissions, so this is a way of reducing that. Walters said if Edmonton can get things going, that could prompt the feds to add more, and the province to add on top of that.
"And then we have an opportunity to work with the private sector, businesses that may want to have a charging station outside of their business because it then draws in customers to work with them to co-sponsor a certain number more than that. Those are the steps we have to take."
The chicken and egg approach Walters argued is needed to serve demand that isn't there now, but should be in future years. "As we show leadership and willingness to develop a strategy, the likelihood that that company is going to come here is higher. If there's a company out there that wants to dominate the electric car charging station market, and they see Edmonton as a city that's taking leadership on that and is trying to move that ball down the field a little bit, I think they're more likely to come here and invest in our city."
Pollution Probe did a poll, both here and in Calgary and heard a lack of charging stations in the city as a big reason people are shying away from diving into the electric car market. The other two reasons are the high purchase cost, and a range for the vehicle to travel that's not long enough. Walters said the questions he's heard are based on why council is worried about only a handful of people who have electric cars?
"It has nothing to do with those people," he said. "It has everything with the fact that we only have 150 people with electric vehicles registered in the city of Edmonton. That's the problem. We need to have the infrastructure to grow that number."
After councillors debate the plug-in report at committee, the item will go to the full council for budget talks, however at this point the pilot does not have funding so it could be delayed indefinitely.
The report is here at item 6.6

The Halloween Party From Hell
A highschool Halloween Party goes majorly awry as the most popular and snobby guy in school gets his comeuppance. The guy, Justin is the host of the Halloween Party from Hell.
It was the night before Halloween and the party everyone in school was talking about. Justin Avery was hosting the year's biggest party so far. His family was "The " family in the city and he was the most popular guy in the entire school. Every girl was interested in him. So, to get his attention they all did some pretty stupid things. This party was going to be when they could show just how serious they were by wearing the skimpiest costumes they could find. The cliques were the main ones trying to win Justin's attention and affections. The rest of the girls who weren't as interested in him were planning to go to the party and show the rest of the girls just who Justin REALLY was. He really wasn't as pretty as they thought he was. The head cheerleader who had been dating him for awhile was in for the shock of her life. The girls who weren't extreme "fans" of Justin Avery were hiding their own secrets as well. The main anti Justin girls were Maggie, Georgia and Tiffany. The were waiting for the right moment to unveil their big surprise at the Party of the Year. Maggie was the leader of the Anti Justin group. She hated him for always having making her life at school a nightmare. Maggie , Georgia and Tiffany were really witches. They wanted their revenge on Justin and his crew. They had devised the perfect plan. Their plan involved the Halloween Party.

Lincoln Park will get some clean up thanks to Keller Williams Realty and RED Day
RED Day, a community service effort, in fact one of the biggest, promoted and carried out by the real estate industry will see some local focus in Lincoln Park as the Keller Williams Seattle Metro office in West Seattle gathers its associates for some park and beach clean up on Thursday, May 9.
Short for "Renew, Energize and Donate," RED Day was created to unite Keller Williams Realty offices and associates in an international day of service.
The volunteers from Keller Williams will work with Seattle Parks and Recreation Department staff on beach and park clean up and shelter repairs.
"This event is an entrenched part of Keller Williams Realty's culture and displays the extraordinary effect a company can have when individuals come together to work as a team for the greater good of everyone," said Anne Burke, Broker with Keller Williams. "Last year, we enjoyed working on the River City Skate park project. We can't tell you what an impact it made on each of us personally − it felt so great to give back to the community we know and love."
Since the first RED Day in 2009, Keller Williams associates have given almost a half million hours of community service through activities ranging from food and blood drives to cleaning up trash in public parks, revamping gardens at nursing homes and rebuilding homes and schools for community members in need.
The Keller Williams Realty Seattle Metro Market Center, located at 4452 California Ave SW Seattle WA 98116 is a full-service real estate firm with 114 sales associates.

text: The face of Jesus has been very busy, appearing on chicken feathers, a tea towel and a drainpipe among many other places – and it's come to light that it's also turned up on the end of a wooden log. The log's owner, Mel Robertson, calls it the 'holy log' and says that she keeps it as a 'lucky charm'. However, she admits that it 'hasn't brought any luck yet', but is hopeful that one day it will. Fingers crossed, Mrs Robertson. The mum of two from Solihull told Metro.co.uk that the face first appeared back in October 2009, but got clearer and clearer as the months went by. She said: 'We had some firewood by the fireplace – at first it looked like a skull and crossbones – but as the months wore on, it just appeared around the knot in the wood. It was a dark mark and the sap made the face of Jesus – it came up more and more.' Mrs Robertson says the log actually helps to cheer her up and her two kids love it. 'They think it's hilarious,' she said. The local vicar, who's seen a photo of it, is just as tickled. 'He thinks it's hilarious, too,' said Mrs Robertson, 41. She added: 'I'm not sure it's a sign – but I thought it would have faded by now.' More Face of Jesus appears on log

GBP/USD crashed by the BoE
By Kira Iukhtenko
The cable had another bearish week, plummeting below $1.6700 on weak UK wage growth and dovish BOE Quarterly Inflation report. Even as the employment increased and unemployment declined, the average weekly earnings fell by 0.2% y/y – this was the first negative reading in 5 years. The Bank of England slashed its 2014 wage growth forecast from +2.5% to 1.25%, dampening the rate hike expectations in the year 2014. Real wage growth is lagging far behind the inflation, limiting the household consumption. Investors are now aggressively building short positions for GBP. Given the shift in BOE comments, it seems now difficult to find reasons to buy GBP/USD.
The technical picture for GBP/USD is clearly bearish. Break below $1.6700 confirmed a top formation at $1.7190 (6-year high hit in mid-July). The cable is testing the 200-day MA ($1.6650) to the downside as we speak. By the way, this is the 200-month MA. The daily Ichimoku is giving out selling signals. In our view, a break below $1.6650 will open the way to the $1.6300 area (38.2% Fibonacci from the 2013-14 rally). However, we have to admit that the pair is oversold these days. Resistance lies at $1.6800 and $1.6880 (20-week MA, former support).
Next week will also be eventful for the sterling. Watch the July inflation data on Tuesday. In June CPI increased by 1.9%, almost reaching the BOE 2% target. If consumer prices growth slows, selling pressure on GBP will increase. On Wednesday the BOE will release its meeting minutes from the August 7 meeting. We'll see if there were any changes in votes inside of the MPC. On Thursday July retail sales and public sector net borrowing are on the schedule.

Home › Forums › General Forums › Philosophy & Technique › Surplus and renewables for low-impact?
Dec 6, 2007 at 7:36 am #1226151
Phil SimcichMember
Many moons ago I posted to a thread about low-impact camping/product development/etc. I mentioned my use of surplus equipment.
Mention surplus equipment and you'll either conjure up images of a down-at-the-heels Boy Scout troop or of nutjob militia. An argument can be made, however, that re-using old gear that's made to last and last has a salutary effect beyond mere thrift.
I'll admit to vanity and allow as how I simply like the classic looks of old Swiss leather-and-canvas packs, for example, as much as I like their sturdiness. My kid will be exploring the backcountry with packs I bought used.
Surplus or used gear dilutes the impact of the item's manufacture among many users. An argument can be made that a backpack that has gone through at least three users–the soldier/s to whom it was issued, myself and, presumably, the person I give it to after I'm done with it–has no less than a third the impact on resources as each of us getting a new item for ourselves. Same goes for shelters, sleeping bags, metal canteens…darn near everything except undergarments (a guy has to have SOME standards!).
Most of my kit is made from canvas, wool, leather or steel/brass. The metals are recyclable and the fabrics are renewable. I don't know where silnylon comes from so I don't know if it's renewable or not. It doesn't sound like it.
It certainly violates the *letter* of lightweight backpacking, yet it could be said that surplus/used/renewables have a "spirit" that is in keeping with treading lightly in a certain sense.Jan 1, 2008 at 7:35 am #1414401
larry savageMember
@pyeyoLocale: pacific northwest
It would be nice if we all lived where we could access surplus. It is possible to mix and match items and still keep things light, along with cherry picking household things to fill in. Some of the budget gear lists do a nice job of this.
My favorite all time surplus item is the wool gloves[liners], usually found for a little over a buck,they can be had in grey, navy, and the ever stylish olive drab.
Allow me to take off on tangent …. a few years back I traveled all over the northwest competing in mountain bike races. Every weekend I was hundreds of miles from home so I could make a 20 mile lap on a course. "Geez, I race bikes that's a good thing" but if you included the amount of fossil fuel required to get me there and back it wasn't a very "responsible" picture. There is an similar ethos we could adopt with our equipment, balancing the energy/materials required to make it and transport it.
By definition all of us here are pretty much gear doggies but I still think the most important things are not things, but our immersion into the wild.
Over the next 20 years we will be forced to adopt a much greener path to the backcountry.Jan 5, 2008 at 5:40 pm #1414974
Tom ClarkBPL Member
@tomclarkLocale: East Coast
Very good point, but hard to manage.
The silnylon (silicone impregnated nylon) is likely not recyclble in any current recycle stream since nylon itself is not recycled to any significant amount, and the silicone would mess up a commercial system. Perhaps a better use would be to reuse it for less critical applications (old tarp becomes several stuff sacks) or as patches for worn gear.

|The best place for implementing context specific behavior?
|Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:08:02 GMT
I have a webapp that I would like to behave in a context (actually host)-specific manner. Where is the best place to initialize the context/host specific functionality? Let me demonstrate what I'm talking about. Lets say I have a webapp Fruit located in folder webapps/fruit. I want to define: apples.mysite.com bananas.mysite.com coconuts.mysite.com etc ... all of which point to webapps/fruit (these are hosts with a "/" context pointing to "webapps/fruit" as the docBase, to be more precise). When someone visits apples.mysite.com they see an apple, when they visit bananas.mysite.com they see a banana, and so on. Where in the fruit app is the best place for instance of Fruit to introspect itself (basically look for what host name it is defined under) and prepare accordingly? I've looked into using Context Parameters in the server.xml declarations but I would like to avoid this if possible b/c this functionally is more elegantly determined through introspection (the web-app saying "what host do i belong to?"). Of course I could always call request.getLocalName(), but that would be inefficient as it would have to be invoked on every request. I guess what I'm looking for someplace in the context initialization process where i could hook into and do my stuff and have it apply to the entire context throughout it's lifecycle. Can't seem to find it digging around the javax.servlet.* javadocs. thanks

Comfortable and spacious traditional sporting lodge
A comfortable and spacious traditional sporting lodge with accommodation for any size of party up to 14 set in the beautiful and unspoiled River Carron Valley. A haven for artists, walkers, wild-life enthusiast and of course the anglers or simply a retreat for family and friends.
Due to unforwseen circumstances we have a very rare opportunity to offer fishing on Braelangwell, River Carron, Sutherland for the week of 11th – 15th July (16th is currently under offer). 4 miles of single bank, 34 names pools, with fantastic catches if the grilse are running, consistent runs of summer salmon and plentiful sea trout.

Another chance to see this wonderful short film made by the Atlantic Salmon Federation in Canada. An adoring young couple, recently released from modelling contracts, beautifully illustrate best practice for catch and release of Atlantic Salmon…..like us, they know it is so important to do this correctly.Read More
Braelangwell was well equipped, and very easy to find, just a quick hour drive from Inverness. With the river right on the doorstep and access to some of the most special fishing locations, it is simply one of the most memorable places I have visited. No end of fascinating scenery, wildlife and lengthy walks amongst the hills and mountains behind the lodge. Even on very bad weather days the house was cosy with fireplaces and various forms of entertainment to keep you busy until the sun comes back.
Had so much fun, lovely place for family with children! We definitely will go again! Nice and friendly neighbourhood!!!
It's a fishing lodge leased during fishing season as I understand it. The appointments are lovely, the owners most accommodating and the gillie (caretaker); well, you couldn't ask for a nicer person, helpful in any way you can imagine and not leaving you feel guilty for bothering him. I needed a winter break from Glasgow life and this spot couldn't possibly be surpassed. Don't come here if you are an atheist and want to remain of that mindset. God's beauty is everywhere and a more beautiful canvas you will not find, even in nature's winter sleep. FYI: Below I didn't check for people with disabilities and families with children because it is primarily a fishing lodge and as I understand, booked fully for parties of salmon fishermen aficionados and I think quite a lot or annual repeats (but check, it's worth it!)
