r. c. a c. aa - .- - THE PIERZ JOURNAL VOL. 4. PIERZ, MORRISON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, NOVEMBER 14, 11)1.2. NO. 22. Large Crowd at the Educational Train The educational train conducted jointly by the Soo Line and tlie State Experimental Farm mad'' a two liours' stay in New Pierz last Thursday morning and drew a larg*e crowd of farmers and interested villagers. The exhibits, which were too numerous to make mention of separately, were, in spite of the adverse criticisms heardhere and there, the very best available. Some of the specimens of live stock may not have appealed to the untrained eye as beautiful animals, but to the g*ood judge, they were without doubt, true to their type in every detail of form and color Of .all the exhibits, that Yorkshire hog was probably one of the most si riking. Tlie Yorkshire is a bacon type. Its sleek, long, round unwieldy bony of 400 pounds, was in strong contrast to the heavier appearing lazy, flabby, lard Po- l.and China of ii'25 pounds lying in the^corner. Does all this pay? is a question that was asked several times in the writers' hearing. Certainly! But you can't expect to go to a farm exhibit with an empty pocket and return with a ten dollar bill, unless you hold somebody up. The profit will come later by stimulating farmers' interest in better stock, better machinery, better marketing, better and more economical methods and better and more comfortable homes. FAUST-WOLKE Tuesday morning at nine o'clock, Anthony Wolke and Minnie, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Faust, were married in the presence of a large number of friends and relatives, in St. Joseph's church by Rev. J. G. Stiegler. J. N. Faust, the bride's brother, and Leo Wermerskirchen acted as groomsmen, and Theresa Spanfellner, and Cresencia Faust, sister to the bride, were maids of honor. The bride wore an embroidered net over silk messaline, a hand embroidered veil and carried a bouquet of Lillies of the Valley; the groom wore a bouquet of Lillies of the Valley and white roses. The wedding dinner was served at the Faust home. The wedding dance held in the opera house in the evening drew a large crowd. Mr. and Mrs. Wolke will make their home in Pierz, where the groom has a well established dray business and where both are well and favorably known. Their many friends wish that their path may be so profusely spread Avith roses as to hide all semblance of thorns. Notice ot Hearing Upon Petition of Freeholder.

Complaint has been received this fall that spring wheat is coming into the Minneapolis market containing a mixture of rye. The mixture is caused by growing wheat on land that raised rye last year, the rye ap* pearing as a volunteer crop. The rye in the wheatis detrimental to its value for flour-making purposes and the millers and grain buyers naturally discriminate -against the mixture. It is suggested that trouble along this line can be avoided byfollowing the rye crop with a coarse feed crop or with a hay crop if possible.Thiscan easily be provided for by the proper arrangement of crop in rotation. A six year rotation of rye, timothy* and clover, pasture, corn, wheat,and o<ats, or a seven-year rotation of wheat, timothy and clover, pasture, corn, wheat, rye, and oats, would be salisfactory, where these crops can be used. It is somewhat more difficult to have the oats follow rye in a short rotation if the grasses are used. A crop rotation must always be arranged with a view to the kind of farming that a person is doing and to supply the feed and market demands. It is believed that the mixture of rye in the spring wheat is serious enough to justify sowing oats or feed barley after the r3*e crop, or using rye as a nurse crop in seeding down. —Andrew Boss.

Keenan, died Tuesday morning of diabetesmellitus. Mrs. Keenan was 56 years of age and has been a resident of Morrison |county for 37 years. She leaves a husband, a son, Ed. H.

The funeral was held Thursday morning at 9 o'clock from the French Catholic church and interment made in Calvary cemetery. A Marvelous Kgcape. "My little boy had a marvelous escape," writes P. F. Bastiams of Prince Albert, Capeof Good Hope, "..occurred in the middle of the night. He got a very severe attack of croup. As luck would have it, I had a large bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house. After following the directions for an hour and twenty minutes Lo waa through all dan ger.'' Sold by all dealers.—Adv. BOYS ENTER SCHOOL BY WINDOW Peter Gau of Granite informs us, that three young men not long ago entered the school house in District 55, through a window. They did not break the window, but, in regular yeggman fashion, took out a pane by removing the putty, pulled the spring, raised the sash and entered single file. After taking a hasty survey of the old familiar walls, and a disdainful glance at the rod whose sting was once their daily due, they made their exit as quietly as they entered. The pane of glass was replaced. As far as anybody knows no damage was done in the building, but the well was filled with stones. For the following week the boys were very alert and nervous during the day and sleepless at night. Their anxiety increased as election day approached, for the popular name of Armstrong was ever in their hearing. As time wore on and they were treated and greeted in the usual manner by their neighbors and acquaintances, this youthful trio of would-be-burglars felt more secure and again assumed their customary places in the society of the neighborhood. Success begets confidence; confidence sometimes begets indifference and often imprudence. It was "too good to keep", however, and one of the boys told a very intimate friend all about the burglarious expedition. Now, the friend had a very close friend, and this friend's friend also had a very good friend, and thus the truth came to the ears of the school board- COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS The village council met in special session Monday, Nov. llth, at 8 o'clock p. m. All members were present. The Judges of Election presented the rep'ort of the special election, held Saturday, Nov. 9th, showing 88 voted in favor, and 4 voted against borrowing I from the state at four percent. The report was accepted. A motion was made by J. M. Blake and seconded by Anton Tembreull, thnt there shall be no so-called mimimum fixed rate for consumers of electricity, but that "25 cts. meter rent be charged consumers who use 75 cents worth or less a month*, and if more than 75 cents worth is used only enough will be added for rent to make the total one dollar. In this form the motion was passed by the council. It was further decided that the village will charge 1(1 cents per kilowat if paid by the first of the month; if not paid by the first of the month a charge of 11 cents per kilowat will be made. The meters will be read and bill sent about the :25th of every month. The following bills were allowed: A. Sitzmann, clerk of election and paper $•_.!(' J. J. Faust, Judge of election -2.00 Frank .Marshik, Judge of election 2.00 The meeting was adjourned subject to call. J. B.

Drink Rex Beer, Duluth Brewing and Malting Co., Duluth, Minn. Geo. Sargent, Distributor, Brainerd,Minn.—Advt. CARE OF THE DAIRY HERD The following are a few extracts taken from the book on Milk and Feed Records. To properly care for a dairy herd, good care and good management must be combined. The work required to care for a dairy herd, if there is no system, is drudgery; and unless there is business management,itis unprofitable. " 'I want cows inmy herdthat will freshen every year, give milk at least ten months every year, and give product worth 100 per cent more then the cost of the feed, if I am to be paid for my labor. When a dairyman looks at it in this light, he has an idea of business dairying, and is in a position to master the principles that will bring him the best results" The care of a dairy herd may begin early in the morning, but it should never be late at night." " The principles of good management will not permit ' John' to help ' Jim' inthe barn. 'John' should have some particular things to do in the barn; he should milk certain cows, clean out the barn, feed the calves or do some other definite part of the dairy work, whatever it may be," Good management always looks into the future in the care of a dairy herd. There is poor management, if the heifers that are being raised are poorer than theirmothers. Good management makes a comfortable and convenient barn necessary. An expensive building, however is not required to provide comfort and convenience. Alogbaromay be ascomfortable and convenient as an expensive one. A barn to be comfortable, must have sunlight, warmth, and ventilation and must have a dry floor. A barn to be convenient must be so arranged that the work can be done easily and in the least time." And most important of all, to get all the profit there is in such a well managed herd of cows, the cream shouldalways be taken to the Farmers Creamery in Pierz where the highest prices are paid.

Sadly, I am seeing younger and younger children coming into therapy with eating disorders. I work with a family based model to help families learn the skills required to intervene to help children begin road to recovery. Frequently, exposure therapy is a big piece of this work where families work with me to learn ways to re-introduce foods back into the child's meal plan.

Therapy with a young child is often a multi-tiered approach. Part of the process focuses on fostering a sense of comfort, support, and understanding for the child who may be feeling frustrated, unsuccessful, anxious, or depressed about life circumstances. Therapy also incorporates strategies for aiding the child to make behavioral changes in areas where he or she is currently struggling. Finally, therapy brings parents into the process by helping them gain a comprehensive understanding of what drives their child, and how they can then direct their child in more adaptive ways which allot for more successful life experiences. Similar to adults, children enter therapy for a broad array of reasons. W....

When helping your children, Dr. Ricci believes that the family system is the most effective solution. Therefore, a parent or parents are present for treatment, and psycheducation is considered tantamount to success.

Childhood is a time of tremendous growth and change and sometimes this can get a little overwhelming for children and their families. We're here to help children get back on the path towards growth and development. We tailor our treatment to the developmental level of each child and utilize individual counseling, play therapy, and family therapy approaches to address emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues. Some common concerns we help with include ADHD, anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional difficulties, and social difficulties. We also offer parent behavior management training to help parents address behavioral issues such as temper tantrums, defiance, and aggression.

Many therapists specialize in working with young children--using play therapy, for example, and I admire the work that they do. But my own approach is to hypothesize that when a child is not doing well, the problem likely resides with the parents. Thus I coach the parents to be firm and consistent. But I also coach them to work together, if they can--since child problems, seen in the context of divorcing parents, for example, might actually be a solution in that the problem is the only thing that brings the parents together as they seek to deal with the child. So resolving the parents' issues often is the key. The child cannot be made (however unintentionally) responsible for family unity.

Some of my most enjoyable sessions are when I get to use play therapy or sand play to help a child overcome sadness, irritability, abuse, abandonment, divorce of parents or some other diagnosis. Children are amazingly resilient and can make great progress toward positive mental health. It is reward to help adult authority figures learn the value of listening, define the problem and work together to find workable solutions for their unique personality and situation. My work with children and adolescents always includes interventions for helping parents.

Finding the best and cheapest raised garden beds depends upon the purchaser's needs. After all, the best garden bed for one person would not be at all appropriate for another and the same is also true for the word "cheap". However, in general there are some strong recommendations on the best and cheap garden beds.
In general, it is usually less expensive to buy the materials for a garden bed and make it yourself. Since making it from scratch isn't hard, that's is usually the way for budget-minded people to go. In this entry, we will be addressing ways to get the best and cheapest garden beds by building your own, as well as the ones that come in a kit.
Starting From Scratch
If you know what you're looking for, and have any experience building small home projects, you are probably a good candidate for doing it on your own. In this situation, the cheapest garden bed could be made from material you already have around, or that you could obtain for free ( or for a very low cost) from someone you know. You could use pieces of heavy-duty plastic that are thrown out by builders, or even bricks or pieces of concrete. Some people have done very well, by using a plastic swimming pool (not the blow-up pool).
There has been a discussion recently about someone who used the empty, large salad dressing bottles from restaurants,( so five gallons or so), to create a border around their garden. I imagine it was not quite as pretty as cedar, but it was very environmentally responsible and free. Scrap lumber could also be used in this endeavor, as long as you are sure it wasn't treated with any chemicals that could leak into your soil and effect your crops. Pallets that are going to be thrown out would make an ideal source for wood as well, and all it would cost you is an afternoon to break pallets down into usable wood.
Simple, Cheap Raised Garden Bed Kits
If you are careful with the choices you make, and do some shopping around to make sure you're getting the best deal, you stand an excellent chance of getting a good deal on your raised garden bed. Looking for clearance, sale and going out of business items could save you a lot of money. The important part to this, though, is that you get a good quality item, which is why you're looking for the best and cheap garden beds today, not just one or the other.
Amazon.com offers some very inexpensive raised garden beds. Here is a sampling of what is available…
In order to save on shipping, you always have the option of looking at retail locations near you. At that time, employees might be able to tell you what people have told them about specific products and what may go on sale or on clearance in the near future. Never forget that the employees who handle plants and take care of customers all day will often know more about products like this than any expert.
Finding the best and cheap garden beds is a challenge for many people, but fortunately it is a challenge that is fun to meet. Experimenting with different mediums, hunting down a good price and finding what works for you is part of the process. You can put as much or as little effort into it as you would like, and by thinking outside the box, you might be able to come up with something that is almost free, very unique and entirely your own creation.
If that's not what you would like, you always have the option of going to a retailer in your area, picking one out and going home to start your garden. Best, cheap, free, easy are just some of the options you have to choose from when you build your new garden bed.

Utterly Me Clarice Bean
Hi my name is Laura and I like to talk about a book I finished reading a couple days ago. It is called Utterly Me Clarice Bean. It was about a girl who goes through a lot of trouble and always ends up getting out of it. She is never paying attention in class. At the end of the book she is a better listener and wins a class prize for improving the most during the year.

Sprinter Tyson Gay failed more than one drug test this year, recording one of his positives at the U.S. championships in June, where he won the 100 and 200 meters, The Associated Press learned Friday.
Earlier this month, Gay revealed he tested positive in an out-of-competition test he took May 16.
Three people familiar with the case told the AP that Gay had multiple positives this year. One of those people said one positive came at nationals and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has notified him of that result.
The people did not want their names used because the doping case against Gay is ongoing and the details have not been made public.
Gay's representatives did not immediately respond to attempts by the AP to reach them.
The sprinter has already surrendered his spot at next month's world championships. If a positive test from nationals is confirmed by his "B" sample, those results would be vacated, though it's likely they would be anyway because of his May 16 positive. The May 16 test has been confirmed by a test of the "B" sample, one of the people familiar with the case said.
A first-time offense for doping usually brings with it a two-year ban, though athletes who cooperate with USADA sometimes get reduced penalties.
One person familiar with the case told the AP that multiple positives over a short period of time are a sign of an athlete who wasn't trying to hide anything, but simply didn't know he was taking a banned drug.
Gay is cooperating with USADA.
"The additional positive sample is consistent with him taking responsibility," USADA CEO Travis Tygart said. "He should be commended for that and for removing himself from world championships, which we all should appreciate. The sample was expected, as he works with us for the fair resolution based on the rules, given the fact of his case."
Gay has been the most-watched U.S. male sprinter for the past several years and has long sold himself as a clean athlete.

OffBEAT with The Virginmarys
Listen to The Virginmarys on iHeartRadio
They are the kings of conflict - or at least their album is. The Virginmarys have been flourishing with the relase of their latest record "King of Conflict," which the guys say was recorded live. The album features "Dead Man's Shoes," which has quickly climbed the charts, and their most recent "Just A Ride" is sure to follow suit.
The Virginmarys - comprised of Ally, Matt, and Danny - stopped by the iHeartRadio studios in New York City recently, where they talked about everything but the music. Find out what the band had to say about New York sandwiches, their ultimate weekend, and hometown in Macclesfield, England in OffBEAT with The Virginmarys below.
When do you find yourself conflicted?
Pretty much 24/7. Just trying to stop my mind from being as active as it is, the writing helps in that. [We're] just always pacing about, always keeping busy. [We'll] come up with stuff and then write it down [our] phone. And then just always thinking about how [we] can fit these things into new songs.
If you had your own religion what would it be like?
It would just be pretty much peaceful and on the moral high ground. It wouldn't be strict. Things change from day to day. Just doing the right thing.
When have you taken the blame?
It's always Danny's fault!
New York sandwiches are the best!! twitter.com/thevirginmarys…— The Virginmarys (@thevirginmarys) March 22, 2013
What makes New York sandwiches the best?
The massive content, they're just huge! Back home, if you ask for a ham sandwich, you get like two slices of ham. Here if you ask for a ham sandwich, you get like, a whole case of ham. It's unbelievable. And they taste amazing, with unlimited toppings! Jalapeños, chicken, spicy stuff. Load the jalapeños on!
If you were on a deserted island, and could only bring one thing, what would you bring?
It's such a cliché, but a guitar. It would be really nice to have it there. Season four of "Breaking Bad" because we haven't seen it yet, but that would probably last for a week, one day probably. If it's a DVD, it would probably have to be like "Curb Your Enthusiasm" or something. But then you don't have a DVD player, so you can only read the boxes! You could make one out of coconuts and stuff.
What's it like to wear dead man's shoes?
Not very nice. Working on that, you know I've changed them for blue! Blue suede shoes.
What would be your ultimate lost weekend?
To hang around with Neil Young, and see where that took [us]. Favorite childhood dream. We'd just talk, see the sights, watch "Breaking Bad," eat some nice food.
If you could go for a ride anywhere, where would you go?
Kansas City, San Francisco, Japan, there's so many places. So many cool places! The bottom of the sea, the deepest point that you can because it's not been explored yet. The deepest, darkest part of the sea, to see what's down there.
How do big horizons breed big ambitions?
That comes from where we're from. You know, Macclesfield is a little town where I think pretty much the only thing that you can say that [has] come out of it that's any good is silk. We've got a silk museum, which is really boring. Anything above that is what it's about. When you're a kid you want to be like a rock star and maybe that kind of turns into writing amazing albums and songs, and fulfilling that ambition really. But Macclesfield is such a small time, we get like a great support from there, which is really cool.
Watch "Just A Ride"

'The Sabres can exceed the cap by $2.8 million as long as Tim Connolly remains on long-term injured reserve. But if the concussed center comes back and that original $95,000 cap space is gone, the Sabres wouldn't be able to call up anyone from Rochester as a short-term injury replacement – unless the team cleared cap space through a trade or by waiving someone.'

FSQP2LXAA: Quark Pro "X" 123², XM-L Edition
The Quark Pro "X" series have received a powerful upgrade - CREE's latest XM-L emitters! The XM-L puts out even more lumens in a wider area, reducing the tunnel-vision effect from a concentrated hotspot.
Operating your Quark 1232 is simple. Make sure its batteries are inserted with the positive side (+) toward the head. Ensure the bezel (the 'head' of the light) and tailcap are tightened, then depress the tailcap button fully so that it 'clicks' and the light turns on.
The two most commonly used modes are Max and Moonlight, the highest and lowest modes. To access Max, you simply tighten the bezel. To access Moonlight, you just loosen the bezel a half-turn. That's it.
You can also cycle through the Quark's other modes just as easily. Lightly depress the button momentarily (you don't need to 'click' it off) and the output will switch to the next mode. The mode sequence is determined by whether the bezel is tightened or loosened:
Loosened Bezel: Moonlight -> Low -> Medium -> High -> SOS -> Beacon
Tightened Bezel: Max -> Strobe
Once the Quark has been turned off for at least three seconds, it will revert to the first level of output in the sequence, either Moonlight or Max.

as per go.magento.com
Helloi agree with previos post, that Go version has much more support and some new features, but i really convinced that you can just try Community version. it is free and you won't spent your money in the air. today community version a lot of solved problems and different types of modules, themes and extension which can shop the whole power of this platform.
Magento is resource hungry - if you have a decent dedicated or cloud server, with plenty of memory and CPU, then you will have a chance with Magento Community. If not, you will likely go through all the install & config process, and if you end up with a half busy site, will hit performance problems. If Magento Go has the features you want, then go with that. Do bear in mind though that with Magento plugins, ones that work with Community or Enterprise, may not have equivalent versions for Go.
Depends On what you can afford to have for your business and surely if you have much then Go for "Go" version as their support is great in this version. And as far as extension are concerned you can find them in both editions.
I am quite familiar with Magento and Magento Go so let me try to break down the things if that help you from the perspective of a designer/developer.
Magento C.E is much more flexible than Magento Go.
You can add new extensions and edit the core files and html for Magento C.E version while Magento Go is quite limited in this matter. You cannot access the core files in Magento Go thus there is limitation to the customization that you want to do. Also, there is limited javascript support for Go platform since the js support differs from the default themes you pick from the Go store.
I think Magento Go is still not stable since i saw in forums that magento go server was down in certain countries at certain times. But the support @ Magento go is quite flexible.
Let me know if you have any questions .
Magento Community Edition:
Community Edition is free. But you will have to rent a web server to host your online store built on the Community edition. Being open source you can hire resources on your own to design it and make customizations to meet your needs.
Magento Go:
This edition is a cloud based hosted solution targeted for small businesses planning to open an online store without hassle. The pricing structure ranges from $15/month to $125/month depending on the features and capacity you require e.g. product SKUs, Admin accounts, Storage, Bandwidth etc. Being offered as software as a service (SaaS) you are free from the hassles of renting a web-server to host your store and maintenance.
Many people have this notion that the Community edition is devoid of the PCI compliance unlike the other two Editions and it can neither be made to become compliant. Yes, out of the box it's not PCI compliant but it can be made to become so. Community Edition does not have Payment bridges but there are ample other ways to achieve PCI compliance.
Magento Go is level 1 PCI-DSS compliant and hence assists secure payment meeting the industry security standards.
Although many people are unaware but Community condition is pretty fast. Yes, if the number of products and other data are excessively huge it might slow down, but again with optimizations, instant page loads can be achieved. Incorporating a FPC system or Varnish page-cache only, will make twice as fast. Similarly using other performance enhancing extensions like Nitrogento or Light speed can make Enterprise Edition like performance achievable.
Considering the targeted segment of Magento Go people find Magento Go fast enough. With a maximum bandwidth of 5Gb along with the support for 10000 product SKUs it is fast. Now if one wishes to have a hassle free online store belonging to the mid-small sized entity group its performance will suffice. But make note of this, that it does not provide service beyond those numbers.
Also check it this link for more idea: http://www.slideshare.net/kevinnsmiith/magento-community-or-magento-go-two-sides-of-a-coin
Magento Go is a paid version for medium sized businesses. It has some restrictions as well e.g. plugins and templates development and use. CE is free, you can build and tweek any thing. The best advantage of Go is that it comes with Magento hosting with some cost.

Why don't you just simply use airodumg-ng (+aireplay-ng) to capture the handshake?
Has anyone got airbase-ng to capture the 4-way WPA/WPA2 handshake?
I tried as per the documentation to run "airbase-ng -c 5 -e wifitest -Z 4 ath0", client associates to my AP, but only produces to EAPoL packets instead of 4. i tried with WPA (airbase-ng -c 5 -e wifitest -z 2 ath0) and WPA2 with no luck.
Searching for this, I see the same command I entered in many different examples on capturing WPA/WPA2 handshake.
Why don't you just simply use airodumg-ng (+aireplay-ng) to capture the handshake?
Be sensitive in choosing where you ask your question. You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you:
* post your question to a forum where it's off topic
* post a very elementary question to a forum where advanced technical questions are expected, or vice-versa
* cross-post to too many different newsgroups
* post a personal e-mail to somebody who is neither an acquaintance of yours nor personally responsible for solving your problem
I believe what you are suggesting is to capture 4-way handshake when someone is already connected to an AP.
I believe airbase-ng serves to capture a 4-way WPA/WPA2 handshake from a pc that is probing to connect to his own AP. airbase-ng will send out beacons for a specific essid so that client then connects to you as is the case with Cafe Latte attacks for WEP clients.
If I am right, then airbase-ng should be able to capture a 4-way handshake for WPA/WPA2 from a probing pc. If this is the case, what am I missing?

Hudson has won four gold gloves in his career -- he's played nothing but second base -- but advanced fielding metrics indicate that he's no longer the plus fielder that he once was. Not that he's close to being a butcher at second base, but his defense is probably only average (plus or minus a couple of runs) at this point. Almost certainly better Ryan Raburn with the glove (although he hasn't been the nightmare I expected), but not an upgrade over Ramon Santiago or Danny Worth.

With one out in the ninth inning, and two-strikes against him, Pittsburgh DH Josh Harrison threw his bat at a breaking ball that was off the plate and looped a slow liner up the middle for a base hit. It was the first hit of the night for the Pirates, and the only hit they would record against Justin Verlander in the entire game.
It was just one of those nights. It seems like we say this every time Verlander goes out, but he had his good stuff tonight and had everyone thinking no-hitter by the end of the fourth inning. The perfect game was off the table early – Neil Walker drew a walk in the very first inning – but Verlander mowed through the Pittsburgh lineup all night long, recording 12 strikeouts and forcing nine groundouts.no comments
Apparently football isn't the only sport that Calvin Johnson is good at, because he pounded a few balls, and even sent one deep over the left field fence. Here's the video:

Joaquin Benoit has been named the nominal closer as struggling closer Jose Valverde recovers from his lower back strain (listed as day-to-day), but the bad-news of the injury may mean good-news when it comes to ninth inning consistency.
Benoit had a shaky start to the season – he allowed 10 walks in his first 10 appearances (the month of April) – but he's been rock solid since the calendar turned to May – just two walks and one run allowed to go with nine strikeouts in six appearances. But even while he was 'struggling' in April, he was striking out loads of batters (15.4 K/9), ended the month with a very good 2.43 FIP, and only blew one opportunity while recording six holds.no comments
The Detroit Tigers avoided falling to two-games below the .500 mark with their 10-8 win over the Chicago White Sox, but although the Tigers have avoided falling flat on their faces (they're 8-8 in the last 16 games), they haven't won two games in a row since finishing a sweep of the Kansas City Royals back on April 18.
But the Tigers have a pretty good chance of doing just that as baseball's worst team, the 10-26 Minnesota Twins, come to Comerica Park for a two-game set beginning tonight. Just how bad are the Twins? They're last in the American League in runs scored (3.33 per game), and last in the league in runs allowed (5.33 per game).no comments
Many of you probably saw Jerry Green's Detroit News piece this week where he blames statistical analysis for 'obscuring the true magic of the game'. I, on the other hand, believe that such analysis can lead to a greater appreciation of the game, and I use these stats and numbers in most of my posts.
The stereotype goes that bloggers love sabermetrics and more traditional writers loathe them. But where do you, the fans and readers, stand on the idea of advanced statistical analysis? Take the short poll below.
The title of the post is a little bit tongue-in-cheek, Ryan Raburn's "streak" is only three games, but the Tigers have been starved for any sort of batting production out of the second base position that it seems like more. No one can deny how big his three-run homer in the sixth inning was pivotal in Detroit's improbable 10-8 come-from-behind win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday afternoon, but his wRC+ for the year stands at just 24 (meaning his batting value stands at just 24% of league average for the season).
I don't think even the most ardent Raburn 'haters' think he'll continue to hit this poorly all season long – his career numbers say he's really an average (to slightly above) hitter – but the question remains: when will he start to hit?
Raburn has now started slowly in the early months for the third consecutive year, but he's always turned it around in the past. Is his recent success a sign that he's turned the corner? It's impossible to say for sure, but here's a look at his recent numbers:

Gov. Ritter to kick off symposium for new wind research center
BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 10, 2009 — Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter will join state and federal administrators, scientists and engineers from three Colorado universities and three federal laboratories Aug. 14 at the University of Colorado at Boulder for the inaugural symposium of the Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory's Center for Research and Education in Wind, or CREW.
The mission of CREW is to work with private and industrial partners to advance the science of wind energy technologies and make wind power more accessible by reducing costs and increasing reliability and efficiency. CREW's founding members include leading national and international wind power manufacturers, developers, operators and consultants and include such companies as Mitsubishi, RES Americas Inc, Siemens, Vestas and WindLogics.
Gov. Ritter will kick off the August 14 symposium at 8:10 a.m., followed by other elected officials and representatives of the CREW research institutions. Following opening remarks, CREW's scientific leadership will provide an overview of the research thrusts of the new center, including turbine modeling, electrical systems and grid modeling, control systems to reduce energy costs, turbine testing and certification, and environmental sensing integration and evaluation.
CREW is a research center of the Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory, a consortium charged with developing new, cutting-edge energy technologies in Colorado that can be rapidly transferred to the marketplace. The Collaboratory includes the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado State University, the Colorado School of Mines and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
CREW's also offers its private members the research strengths of the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, two of the world's leading institutions in wind forecasting and modeling.
Like all of the Collaboratory research centers, CREW will work closely with private companies in the United States and abroad, as well as non-profit organizations and venture capitalists to promote networking, innovation and new market opportunities, said Collaboratory Executive Director David Hiller.
"Advances in technology will be meaningful only if those technologies are deployed in the marketplace," said Hiller. "CREW's private members will play key roles in helping to direct areas of research and then translating research successes into commercially viable technologies." Hiller said CREW expects to recruit many additional members in the coming years.
CREW Scientific Director Lucy Pao, a CU-Boulder professor in the electrical, computer and energy engineering department, said Colorado currently ranks sixth in wind power production capacity in the nation. "With wind energy as the fastest growing source of renewable energy in the world with a projected annual growth rate of more than 20 percent, the launch of CREW is very timely," said Pao. "We have been working closely with our private members and institutional partners to develop CREW for the past two years, and the interest among faculty, students and companies has been phenomenal."
During the Aug. 14 symposium CREW researchers, founding member companies and potential new member companies will discuss areas of interest for shared research. Breakout sessions and poster sessions will allow students, scientists and engineers to discuss areas of research in more detail. There also will be opportunities for attendees from the institutions and companies to tour some of CREW's laboratories and other facilities.
The Collaboratory currently oversees two energy research centers in addition to CREW: the Colorado Center for Biorefining and Biofuels led by CU-Boulder and the Center for Revolutionary Solar Photoconversion, led by NREL. While CU-Boulder will serve as CREW's lead institution, research will be conducted at campuses and labs of all six CREW research institutions.
NREL's National Wind Technology Center, for example, offers a turbine testing and certification program that includes a blade-testing facility, a dynamometer facility to measure force and strength of turbines and extensive field-testing equipment.
CREW partners also are developing a "Green Power Project," a research test bed located on the 11,000 acre Maxwell Ranch northwest of Fort Collins that currently is part of CSU's research facilities. In addition to the research effort, the Green Power Project is expected to provide more than 65 megawatts of power production capacity, enough to power CU-Boulder, CSU and CSM.
The CREW effort also includes wind-energy policy research, wind energy courses at partner universities and an outreach program to Colorado landowners, ranchers and others interested in tapping the potential of wind power in the state.
Three other Collaboratory research centers are under development: The Carbon Management Center, the Energy Efficiency & Management Center and the Solar Technology Acceleration Center-Research Partnership.

A helicopter pilot, champion water-skier, owner of multiple companies , a public speaker and publisher. On paper, Grant Arnott, the man behind the Click Frenzy phenomenon, sounds as accomplished as they come.
An eager start-up from a young age, Arnott, tweeted on December 2010: "Wondering if #linkedin has a limit on number of current job titles - I want to break the record."
He may well get his wish. Arnott, 41, who lives in Mount Waverley, currently juggles four job titles including Publisher at Power Retail, Content Manager at Online Retailer and Managing Director at The Media Pad.
But it was his role as founder and director of Click Frenzy that has seen him come to national attention.
The website, which signed up major retailers to offer online deals, may have suffered well-publicised problems, but Arnott refuses to see anything but the bright side.
"We don't see it as a failure. We see it as a dramatic starting point and something that we will nail in the future," Arnott told Fairfax Media.
Remarkably, Arnott says the concept of the sale that was to "stop a nation" was only put to retailers six weeks ago.
"In defence of the retailers, [we] went to market with a relatively short time frame and I think it's a credit to them that they have been able to put something together in time."
The parent company of Click Frenzy is Arnott's own company - Global Marketplace - which he co-owns with Peter Krideris and Nigel Price.
But despite the impressive name, the company that was established "not so long ago", is only worth about $300 according to business records.
It is registered at an unassuming small brick house in Kingsgrove, southern Sydney.
We don't see it as a failure. We see it as a dramatic starting point and something that we will nail in the future.
But there are grand plans for this grand sounding company.
Click Frenzy is not the first venture Arnott has dabbled in.
From 2003 to 2007 he was the group publisher of a publication called Niche and has also sat as the chair of the Online Retailer Conference and the Experiential Marketing Summit.
Arnott grew up in Melbourne, attending St Bernard's school in Essendon, before studying a degree at Monash University.
A talented water skier, Arnott skied regularly with the Victorian Water Ski Association – where his family had been heavily involved for years.
The secretary of the association, Fran Hynes, said she had known Arnott and his family– including his parents (his father, a builder, passed away in 1992) his sister and brother.
Arnott designed the website for the water skiing association, located on the Yarra River, and acted as their media representative.
"He's quite a motivated guy," Ms Hynes said. "He has a far thinking personality and would enthuse people."
Ms Hynes said Arnott was a "family oriented guy" who would always follow through with his "innovational" plans.
On weekends Arnott was employed to fly tourists around Phillip Island in a helicopter. When Fairfax Media contacted the managing director Stephen Peppard of Phillip Island Helicopters, he said was "not prepared to comment" on Arnott's employment.
Arnott also has his black belt in jujitsu and in 2011 ran a charity marathon in bare feet.
Next year, he is looking towards creating an online coffee and tea business under the Worldwide Marketplace band and "Click Frenzy 2013".
"With now 12 months to plan for the event and for us to prepare even further ahead, Click Frenzy 2013 should be just be simply amazing," he says, his enthusiasm unwavering.

Darkness falls on a secluded area far from prying eyes and the glare of city lights.
In the darkness, members of the Williston Police Department, Chiefland Police Department and Levy County Sheriff's Department marshal their forces.
The darkness is occasionally interrupted by the glare of a laptop screen or cell phone.
The reason for the clandestine meeting – area law enforcement members are preparing to raid a suspected "gambling house" in East Williston where drug dealing has already been confirmed.

First Person
See MeBy Emma Cline
Adolescence, pen pals, and the Manson girls.
When I was thirteen, I had a yearlong correspondence by mail and over the phone with Rodney Bingenheimer. A peculiar icon of the sixties and seventies, Bingenheimer had opened a famous club on the Sunset Strip; he was a live-in publicist to Sonny and Cher, he accompanied David Bowie to London, and through his adjacency, his fandom, and his prescient taste, he eventually achieved fame himself.
We had met briefly on the sidewalk of my small hometown when I walked past a café table where he sat with a group of friends. He was a lackluster presence, not even as tall as I was—red hair cut into a chunky bowl, wearing a blazer over a shirt printed with a Red Army star. He was fifty-five then, though to my thirteen-year-old self he looked much older. His voice had the tremulous, feminine quality I would later read about in memoirs of the golden days of Los Angeles, his eyes slightly out of focus.
"Tell her she looks like my first love," he half whispered to the group surrounding him, a group casually dressed, but alert with the nervous air of support people. They repeated his words to me, obediently.
"Give us your information," one of his group said, all brisk business. "He's very famous," someone else said. "He invented the Ramones."
Rodney blinked at me like a tired cat. Read More

I met Andrew Rannells on two occasions. The first was a strange circumstance about five years ago: I was headed to the Fair Park Music Hall to meet him and other members of the touring cast of Jersey Boys when my car was T-boned (the other driver's fault). Nevertheless, I still made it to the interview, albeit a bit late. I got quite a few "attaboys" for showing up at all.
The last was just briefly about two and a half years ago, when he was starring in a show at the Dallas Theater Center called Give It Up. The show finally made it Broadway with a different title — Lysistrata Jones — only Rannells wasn't in it. Instead, he'd taken on a different role in a musical: The Book of Mormon, which netted him a Tony Award nomination in the biggest hit since The Producers.
ATTPAC just announced last week that The Book of Mormon would be part of its 2013-14 lineup, but once again, Rannels won't be in it — instead, he's starring in one of the hit shows of the fall, NBC's The New Normal, and out actor gets to play gay … and boy does he.
Our Chris Azzopardi got to chat with Rannells a few weeks ago, and I thought it might be a good time to run the story. The next episode airs tonight.

Ivy League Release
PHILADELPHIA – For just the fifth time in program history, the Penn women's squash team has one of its own recognized as the Ivy League Rookie of the Year. Yan Xin, a freshman, played the entire season as the Quakers' No. 2 on the ladder, and added first-team All-Ivy honors to her ROY award. Additionally, tri-captain Nabilla Ariffin was named first-team All-Ivy for the third consecutive season.
Ariffin was a unanimous first-team selection in all three seasons. The senior compiled a 7-10 record this season, and was 2-4 in the Ivy League. The Penang, Malaysia native played every one of her matches for Penn in 2012-13 at the first position of the ladder, compiling a 6-8 record there in regular and postseason play.
During her time in the Red and Blue, Ariffin helped the Quakers finish second in the nation as a freshman, and this past season she was an integral part in helping Penn place third in the country. At the CSA Individual Championships, Ariffin advanced to the Round of 16 of the Ramsay (A) Division, where she fell to Danielle Letourneau of Cornell.
Xin joins the ranks of the Penn elite with her ROY award. The only other Quakers in program history to earn the award are four-time first-team All-Ivy players Kristen Lange ('10), Runa Reta ('03), Katie Patrick ('00) and the 1995-96 season's National Individual champion Jessica DiMauro ('99). Xin compiled a 14-4 overall record and a 4-2 mark in Ivy play, which was tied for the second highest win total for Penn this season.
The Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia native compiled a 9-3 record at No. 2 for the Red and Blue, and was the team's top finisher at the CSA Individual Championships. Xin advanced all the way to the Ramsay Division semifinals as the No. 5 seed, losing to eventual national champion and two-time Ivy League Player of the Year, Harvard's Amanda Sobhy.
The CSA All-America teams and final individual rankings for the 2012-13 season will be released in the coming weeks, so make sure to check back with PennAthletics.com for more info.

At least that is what our governmental administrators and legislatures are saying, and no doubt that is the belief of the general populace.
The U.S. ranks 33rd in National Test Scores out of the 172 countries in the world. However, when you compare the test scores to other countries that believe all students should receive a free public education. (Oh, none of the other countries that score higher than us educate the entire populace). The exceptions are countries i.e. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, which have a population about the same as Montana with no diversity.

I just love the ocean, planet, and the science behind it. I'm also not saying that humans don't pollute the environnment, they do! They just don't cause temperature change. Let's worry about real pollution and solving that problem with new techonology. I just don't believe in having an environmental gestapo coming into our homes.

very nice image.......
Hi there: your stock has been featured here:
Fantastic Stock and Where to Find It - Feature 28 I've been making a collection of some of the brilliant stock artistshope you don't mind
works that I have come across. It started off as stock I can't provide
myself so I look for other peoples so I can suggest them. The way I
choose is quite odd, when I see a stock image I have an instant image in
my head of what I could do or create out of that piece of stock. The
image also has to be crystal clear and easily altered.
Anyway, Check them out, I'm sure you'll agree, just click on their deviation.

Greeting Living Legends!
In light of recent confusion and rumors, the co-owner of Wandering Samurai Studios and I are here to clear some things up.
First and foremost there has not, nor has there ever been, any legal action or threat of legal action leveraged against the MechWarrior: Living Legends development team. This was an assumption of a small amount of volunteers based on incomplete information.
To clarify, the decision to discontinue development of MechWarrior: Living Legends was made by the founders and owners of the project. On behalf of all the people involved in MechWarrior: Living Legends we must sincerely apologize to all parties affected by this miscommunication.
In closing, development on this project has officially come to an end. We thank you for your support and express our hope for the continued success of the MechWarrior franchise.

And lo and behold: this smart independent film that was well-directed and well-acted was financially successful.
Yet, one after another, his menials and laborers returned his gaze with well-acted perplexity.
The Vice-Warden and his wife shook with well-acted merriment.
I heard Fauchette dart on her mistress with a well-acted scream, and sprinkle her face and neck with cold water.
For a while the watchers stared at each other with well-acted surprise.
He found Doctor Harman at home, and with great solemnity and well-acted sorrow, made known to him the discoveries of the morning.
To all of this Jessie listened with a well-acted impatience.
But he was wise enough to pretend ignorance of their identity, and stared a well-acted credulity.
This did not prevent his shedding tears at the well-acted scenes.
There is a well-acted love-interest in it, and the element of the comradeship of loyal pals.
mid-15c., "to act upon or adjudicate" a legal case; 1590s in the theatrical sense, from Latin actus, past participle of agere (see act (n.)). To act up "be unruly" is from 1903. To act out "behave anti-socially" (1974) is from psychiatric sense of "expressing one's unconscious impulses or desires." Related: Acted; acting.
late 14c., "a thing done," from Old French acte "(official) document," and directly from Latin actus "a doing, a driving, impulse; a part in a play, act," and actum "a thing done," originally a legal term, both from agere "to do, set in motion, drive, urge, chase, stir up," from PIE root *ag- "to drive, draw out or forth, move" (cf. Greek agein "to lead, guide, drive, carry off," agon "assembly, contest in the games," agogos "leader;" Sanskrit ajati "drives," ajirah "moving, active;" Old Norse aka "to drive;" Middle Irish ag "battle").
Theatrical ("part of a play," 1510s) and legislative (early 15c.) senses of the word also were in Latin. Meaning "display of exaggerated behavior" is from 1928. In the act "in the process" is from 1590s, perhaps originally from the 16c. sense of the act as "sexual intercourse." Act of God "uncontrollable natural force" recorded by 1726.
An act of God is an accident which arises from a cause which operates without interference or aid from man (1 Pars. on Cont. 635); the loss arising wherefrom cannot be guarded against by the ordinary exertions of human skill and prudence so as to prevent its effect. [William Wait, "General Principles of the Law," Albany, 1879]

Like Santa, it's my job to spread joy throughout the land on one day each year. This time I've decided to hand out gifts to a dozen or so of my favorite tech personalities. The key difference between me and the guy in the red suit and the white beard: Most of my recipients have been more naughty than nice.
Here's who's on my list and what they'll be finding under the tree this year.
[ Also on InfoWorld: What can we expect if we survive 2012? Death by Internet in 2014, says one security company. | For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Tim Cook: A magic wand and a pocketful of miracles. Now that the iPad Mini has made its inevitable debut, the Apple CEO may be forced to rely on sleight of hand to satisfy insatiable Appletons. An Apple HDTV? Maybe. An Apple car? Probably not. We're not convinced there are any rabbits left in that hat Steve Jobs left behind.
Julian Assange: Black hair dye, a big bushy fake mustache, and a sombrero. With this disguise, the WikiLeaks founder may finally be able to climb out of that cubbyhole in London's Ecuadorian embassy and escape to his new country of exile. Also: John McAfee's private satellite phone number. If you're gonna run from the law, Jules, at least learn how to make it interesting.
Steve Ballmer: An app that identifies 10 potential heirs to the CEO title and systematically forces them out of the company. The bad news? It won't run on Windows RT.
John McAfee: The number of a good agent at CAA. Somebody has to make a movie out of his life, and I want to see it done right. I see Steven Soderbergh directing, with Johnny Depp in the title role, Lindsay Lohan as his snugglebunny Samantha, and Seth Rogen as faithful man servent and jungle pharmacist Rudolfo.
Mark Zuckerberg: A copy of "Bridge for Dummies" and a seat at the table with Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. The kid is pushing 30 -- it's time he took up another hobby besides killing his own food. Sitting across the table from Buffett and his bridge buddy Gates would offer a valuable education in what not to do when you take your company public. (Lesson No. 1: Don't tell institutional investors one thing and everyone else another.)
Jill Kelley: A starring role on "Real Housewives of Tampa." Now that's she no longer go-to party gal for the military hoi polloi of the greater Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan area -- and the South Korean embassy has asked for its "honorary consul" license plates back -- this Kardashian wannabe needs a new gig. This one's perfect: Kelley managed to kill the career of one of the most celebrated generals of our time, so she could probably manage to pull a 1.0 share for Bravo.
Larry Page: Charisma augmention surgery. Sure, he's smart, but the new(ish) Google CEO is so dull he makes even Eric Schmidt look like Mick Jagger. Surely they must be developing some kind of gPersonality app in the gLabs.
