In the new issue of The Enquirer they are reporting that the coroner took another look at the autopsy results of Natalie Wood and determined she had a full bladder at the time of her death. This new piece of information suggest she was unconscious when she went overboard into the ocean. In one sentence they say that Robert Wagner is not a suspect, but if she was unconscious when she went overboard then that means someone threw her into the water. There are only a few people that it could be and I'm guessing Robert Wagner would be at the top of that list since he and Natalie had the big fight the night of her death.
I wonder if this case happened now, with all the advances in science if someone would have been arrested for her death and if it could have been proved that same person killed her. I think there would have been more leaks and we would probably have heard some more detailed results of questioning that took place between police and Wagner and Christopher Walken and also the captain of the yacht. I'm glad that police have not given up, but unless someone confesses, I don't think anything will ever happen.

Drug Addiction Treatment Centers Montgomery – How to Find the Best Substance Abuse Counselor in the US?
Selecting the best drug addiction rehabilitation canters is a serious matter that should be done correctly to achieve the purpose of getting the treatment. There are factors you need to consider to pick the right one. If the center you find does not match with your personality or does not provide the program that suits your condition, then, that could even make things worse.
Check out to these common preferences in choosing the best treatment center and you will be guided to select the right one.
Cost. This should be considered especially by those who do not have insurance, or even if they have one, the coverage is limited to a different treatment option. Even if a rehab center offered a good deal and value, you still need to make sure that your condition is not compromised in achieving the need for drug and alcohol rehabilitation. That is really important when it comes to choosing drug rehab facilities.
You also need to check the payment options the center offers to know the coverage of your insurance.
Location. There are times that the patient needs to be treated in a center far away from his home if that would be beneficial for him to stay away from the environment that causes him to be addicted. However, there are some who preferred to be near their family whom they can rely on since they need a full support for this kind of condition. That is really important to consider when it comes to looking for inpatient drug rehab no insurance facilities.
Drug Addiction Treatment Centers Montgomery: Overlooked Facts!
Religious beliefs. There are people who are more comfortable staying in a center who espouse their own religious beliefs. There are also drug centers that include spiritual healing in their program. If this would let them feel like they are more relaxed and spiritually healthy, then, you can consider this decision.
Level of health complications. A rehab center should have well-trained personnel and doctors who are knowledgeable in monitoring people whose health is already at risk due to excessive usage of drugs and alcohol.
There may also people who have other terminal illnesses that should be treated as well aside from being associated with drugs. Therefore, you need to have a center that caters other conditions and focused on treating other illness especially when they are already severe.
Type of Rehabilitation programs. It is the best move to choose a rehab center who offers a specific program that suits the need of the patient. Some may even offer therapy sessions in addition to these programs to ensure fast recovery of the patient. The program should match to the problem of the patient for him to have a specific recovery plan. You also need to check state funded drug rehab programs as they could fit your needs.
Gender. There is a treatment that does not work for people with different gender since they have different personalities. The same goes for patients who are from LGBTQ class. There are already LGBTQ- friendly centers who specifically offer a program specifically for them which also match with the type of environment and personality they have. A rehab center should deal with special needs that suit to their mentality in mind due to the traumatic experience they encountered. This way, you will target the best Drug Addiction Treatment Centers Montgomery. In addition to the above factors, you should be considering the reputation of the center especially if you are using Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator.
6 Tips for Finding Strength in Drug Addiction Rehab Programs
Be kind to yourself. In the past, you've likely beaten yourself up over misdeeds you've committed under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but it's important to realize that those feelings are perfectly normal and happen to almost everyone in early recovery. It's OK if you don't succeed at the first try in everything you attempt.
Acknowledge achievements, big or small. Recovery is a building-block process and no success is too small to be counted. Recognizing each achievement can help build and maintain morale throughout treatment.
Remember that mistakes and failures happen. Everyone makes mistakes and each person moves through recovery at their own pace. There will be set backs but they aren't the end of the world. Each day presents a new opportunity to learn.
Shift your outlook on life. Try to begin each day with a positive outlook. You have the power to decide what you're going to think about first. For example, you can dwell on the feeling of having made less progress than you wanted the day before, or you can, make the conscious choice to accept what happened as part of the process and continue to move forward today.
Avoid making comparisons. Each person's struggle with addiction is unique. Although your situation may be similar to someone else's, everyone heals at their own pace. That is very true especially if you want to go after Holistic Addiction Treatment.
Ask for help. At some point or another everyone needs a little extra help. Asking for assistance enables you to broaden your horizons and gives you a chance to grow on your path to recovery.
Many things such as public stigma, misconception, and intolerance, can make it difficult for people struggling with substance abuse to get the help they need and deserve. But despite potential roadblocks, using these tips can help an addicted person maintain the strength they need to persevere through treatment and flourish in recovery. If you consider the above tips, you will for sure land at the best Drug Addiction Treatment Centers Montgomery.

My approach to couples counseling combines three of the most popular current methods of relationship counseling. All three begin with simple techniques and education in order to help couples decrease tension and bitterness, if it exists. We then, in a non-judgmental environment, explore ways to develop a deeper bond of trust. When couples can deeply trust one another, it becomes much easier to develop habits of love and appreciation in the relationship.

Mutual admiration society lets tyrants indulge the illusion of political stability
It's one thing for a tyrant to boast of political support from foreign governments if he enhances his country and at least gives the illusion that the mass public benefits in some way; it's quite another to do so for purely selfish reasons at the expense of his own citizens and his country's reputation.
Romney's Foreign Policy: "About Face" or "Two-Faced"?
"Listening to this "kinder and gentler" Romney, two questions came to mind. Was all this a tactical ploy to sway undecided voters? Or was this the candidate's declaration of independence from his neo-conservative advisers (three-quarters of whom are George W. Bush alumni)? Since Romney has also selectively veered away from many of his other "severely Conservative" views during the last few weeks of the campaign, I tend to believe that it is more of a crass tactical move than an assertion of independence."
Efforts to Silence an Appeal for Human Rights
"The net results of these tactics are: a silencing of any discussion or examination of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians; aid to Israel continues to be delivered without questions, oversight, or any conditions; the very meaning of anti-Semitism or, in this recent case, "anti-Judaism" is cheapened and equated not just with criticism of Israeli policy, but even with the mere call to examine that policy; Palestinians continue to suffer; Israelis who support peace and human rights for Palestinians find they have no allies in the U.S. government; and U.S. credibility in the Middle East continues to suffer."
Drought in Texas
"It was obvious that both contenders avoided any specifics that would have demanded even the slightest knowledge from the listeners. 1.5 billion plus Muslims were considered to fall into just two categories – "moderates" and "Islamists". Israel is one bloc, no differentiation. What do viewers know about 3000 years of Persian civilization? True, Romney knew – rather surprisingly – what or where Mali is. Most viewers surely didn't."
How 400 trucks to feed Gaza became just 67
"This "security concept", as the Israeli army termed it, involves the wholesale destruction of a community's infrastructure to immerse it so deeply in the problems of survival and reconstruction that other concerns, including fighting back or resisting occupation, are no longer practicable."
Kudos to Qatar
"Qatar has also been active on Palestine, to the anger or pleasure of different groups and at different times. A supporter of Palestinian rights from the beginning, Qatar has tried to keep good terms with all parties, with the Palestinian and even with the Israelis, and of course with the US and other internationally influential players."
Fatah and Lessons Unlearned
"This is not to say that other smaller factions are not guilty of this as well. But given Fatah's history, clout and sheer size, we would have thought that lessons of the past would have been learned for the future."
The Jewish Oligarchy: Running and Ruining America :: Forcing America to Pay and Die for Israel ::
"The question is not simply the power of the Jewish Oligarchy but is a question for all humanity. How long will the Gentile world of 7 Billion remain silent, subordinate, and submissive in the face of Israel's genocidal wars against defenseless children in Palestine and Lebanon."

We've covered patriotism a few times here, but recently I considered it in light of Independence Day. The issue rarely comes up, and my conclusion was rather concise: it was good to be patriotic, but not the greatest good, and you should read Brett McCracken's thoughts on this. But now the issue stares me square in the face, as our nation sends the best our athletes to compete with other nations' respective bests. The events function as a sort of strutting about, seeking to prove we are the best at some particular sport or another, but without the casualty of war. Our dominance can be in gold medals, rather than empty bullet shells. Well, that's the idea, anyway. Continue reading Patriotism and the Olympics

Learning Compassion from Story-Truth: Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried
Empathy is one of humanity's best qualities. And it can also be the most neglected. When insurmountable obstacles confront a community, understanding and compassion from neighbors is often just enough to pull them through.
But what if the obstacle is something few can understand? What if it's trauma from a perplexing and complicated war?
Earlier this year, ArtsWestchester featured Tim O'Brien's war novel The Things They Carried as part of The Big Read, a program designed to encourage reading in communities nationwide. Attempting to increase in understanding and compassion, O'Brien's partially-autobiographical work was intentionally chosen by ArtsWestchester so that readers could encounter some of the issues our servicemen and women face.
O'Brien himself explains that the similarities between the war in Iraq and the war in Vietnam are not primarily political, but human:
"Obviously there are differences [between the war in Iraq and Vietnam]" he said, "chief among them the absence of the draft. But there are enough similarities. These are wars in which there are no uniforms, no front, no rear. Who's the enemy? What do you shoot back at? Whom do you trust? At the bottom, all wars are the same because they involve death and maiming and wounding, and grieving mothers, fathers, sons and daughters."
Distancing his work from politics, O'Brien's writing and public comments have continuously centered on the personal nature of war and its effect on individuals and relationships. Even in Hollywood, a move has begun from the mere "reenactment of battles" towards the personal.
While a war may be considered justifiable, the negative impact combat has upon the human soul is poorly understood. O'Brien attempts to draw out the truths of this impact by issuing his readers into the experience.
Rather than merely recounting events, O'Brien modifies the "facts" of his own memories, shifts the chronology of the story and emphasizes mystery and confusion, forcing his readers to emotionally face the psychological shock of his experience.
He explains his technique in The Things They Carried by distinguishing between happening-truth and story-truth. The former pertains solely to facts, whereas the latter attends to emotional truth and the pursuit of meaning.
The two "types of truth" seem pretty clear. Yet literary critic Tobey C. Herzog reports that O'Brien blurs the lines not merely in his writing but also in his public life.
In front of an audience at Wabash College, while O'Brien elaborated on an event depicted in his book, he allowed listeners to assume that the details he related were actually true. Because The Things They Carried is based on his life, the audience implicitly believed (without evidence to the contrary) that the events O'Brien described had actually transpired:
. . . O'Brien paused as the Wabash audience nodded knowingly at the story's conclusion: Tim O'Brien had chosen to enter the army, to fight, and not to flee across the river into Canada. Then, after a dramatic pause, O'Brien confessed: the story was made up . . . the incidents on the Rainy River, so realistically described, simply did not occur in O'Brien's own life.
According to Herzog, O'Brien argues that this deception introduces audiences to "the complex intermingling of facts, fiction, truth, lies, memory, and imagination . . ." The realization of abstract truth is "truer" than facts; the human element deeper than the form.
O' Brien recognizes that human beings empathize best when they share in other's experiences. Since fictionalized stories convey abstract truths in a noticeably defined way than mere reporting, his work uniquely functions by "cutting to the chase." He forces us to view trauma in war on a deeply personal level by rapidly putting us in uncomfortable positions as we read.
Many listeners in the Wabash audience were understandably offended by O'Brien's trick, wanting to hear his "actual war-related experiences," instead of grossly elaborated ones.
But at this time in our nation's history, as we watch our friends and family go off on their tour of duty, seeking understanding of their war experiences may be one of the most compassionate thing we can do. O'Brien's story-truth brings to light some of these experiences and ushers us into emotional realities otherwise inaccessible to civilians. '

Eight events across the country will enable architects and designers to see matching natural quartz surfaces and paint hues.
Eight events at Cosentino Centers across the country will enable architects and designers to see matching quartz surfaces and paint hues.
NEW YORK CITY— Silestone, a manufacturer of natural quartz surfaces, announces it is partnering with Sherwin-Williams to host eight Color Inspiration events at regional Cosentino Centers across the country. Through this partnership, both companies will celebrate concepts in color and provide interactive tools to create the perfect palette for design.
The Color Inspiration series will enable architects, designers and clients looking for the latest color trends for the kitchen and bathroom to be inspired by color matching combinations from Silestone's natural quartz surfaces and Sherwin-Williams' dynamic hues. Select events will also take a look into the future, with a special color forecast presentation. The series is sponsored by Luxe Interiors + Design magazine.
"Color is a driving force in kitchen and bath design," says Lorenzo Marquez, vice president of marketing for Cosentino North America. "Just like Sherwin-Williams, color is an integral part of the Silestone story. This partnership and event series is a great way for two kitchen and bath companies to celebrate the influence of color in design."
Each event will showcase the full range of more than 75 Silestone colors including the new Stonium collection. Attendees will be able to digitally mix and match Silestone products with a coordinating palette of more than 1,500 Sherwin‐Williams paint colors through the "Chip It" program. Additionally, attendees will receive a new Silestone color wheel to take away, which architects and designers can take to client meetings to help with the color selection process.
The first event will kick off in Chicago at the Cosentino Center on Monday, April 23. Additional markets that will host a Color Inspiration event include: Atlanta, Orlando, Dallas, Phoenix, Anaheim, Los Angeles and Seattle.

All Garth Brooks Ireland Concerts Cancelled
Listen to Garth Brooks Radio on iHeartRadio
"The Garth Brooks Comeback Special Event" won't happen after all. The country superstar issued a statement this week saying he would not be going to Ireland later this month to play any shows. His decision follows the Dublin City Council's refusal to reconsider their ruling to only allow Brooks to stage three of his five scheduled concerts.
Promoter Peter Aiken tells Ireland's RTE TV's "Six One News" it's not a decision that Garth made lightly, and the singer is "devastated" by the outcome. He explains that Brooks tried to work out a compromise, and offered to give matinee performances and play all five shows in three days. Aiken adds that Brooks is losing "millions in this deal," but he's "sticking by his principles."
Brooks' rep tells Ireland's TheJournal.ie that the singer will address the matter in his press conference Thursday. But Ireland is expected to be just one topic of the media event, which was announced Monday.
"The Garth Brooks Comeback Special Event" was scheduled for July 25th through the 29th. The five shows - and a total of 400,000 tickets - sold out in record time back in February. The concerts were to serve as Brooks' warm-up for an upcoming but as yet unannounced world tour.
Garth's proposed trek, which he informally announced last December, will be his first in more than a decade.

The only features that appeal to a consumer with half a brain will actually see that over half the features are just retarded software features on the s3. Samsung still hasnt realized people want a simple phone with simple toggles pinch to zoom is much easier than tilting your phone to zoom. Autosharing your photos to people 3 feet away from you instead of just showing them it or just texting them it thats just ridiculous. The biggest points personally are the display, ram and nfc.
they act like a 4.8 inch screen is good? Samsung isnt appealing at all to sophisticated users who have used smartphones. They are appealing to people who fall for things like bigger displays and dont use reason.
So I took the time to watch a video showing tilt to zoom and some of the other useless features listed.
Why on earth would I ever use tilt to zoom. The only reason they even have features like that is an attempt to quit getting sued.
It just boggles my mind. With all specs aside. Just hold the two phones. One feels like a solid 6-800 phone. The other feels like a kids toy.
At the end of the day. Even if an IPhone could some how be flashed to droid, I still wouldn't want it. It's great that the android market is open source and rooted apps are in the same store as stock but no one in their right mind can ever compare or compete with the "jailbreak" and "Cydia".
One of my biggest problems with android was its inability to have simple tweaks that made my phone how I want. Cydia on the other hand has very thing. If I wanna hide statusbar elements I simply type in statusbar into Cydia, and a million other examples.
And themes alone make the iPhone a million times better. ROMS are cool. But a total pain in the ***. Winterboard is simple and easy to use.
I think us "fanboys" could go on forever. But it's literally worse than politics talking about this.
Samsung people hate apple. Apple people support their products and dislike Samsung.
I think droid would do a lot better if they didn't come out with a new one every month. We get an iPhone once a year, for good reason. They make a solid great product with all the features they want to incorporate. Android releases a new phone with every new feature. It's sad
I don't understand the big deal about a removable battery. I have never felt the need to remove my battery from my phone. While on the other hand, a friend of mine dropped her SII and the back came off and she LOST her battery. She found it like 3 days later. Granted user error is a factor, but i'm glad i'll never have to worry about LOSING my battery. It's where it needs to be and isn't going anywhere.
I love how all the apple websites post story after story about samsung this or android that just trying to get a reaction.
Go to any android site and it's not constant apple bashing. This was a great site yrs ago....now it's garbage. most the post are just biased
blind apple ibots loyal to what ever apple does. It's really sad. everything on this site is just crying about what other phone makers are doing. good bye modmyi...you have lost your way.
What would android even have to write about apple in a negative way? MMI chooses to post topics about relevant legal issues/advertisements.
This being a topic about why Samsung made a COMMERCIAL bashing apple. But your mad at MMI for talking about it? Odd.
Maybe android should post topics like "We stole apples touch screen technology"

Fletcher named to preseason All-SAC softball teamFebruary 2, 2010
Tornados picked to finish ninth in the conference
Rock Hill, S.C. – Brevard sophomore third baseman Maddie Fletcher was selected as the preseason Second Team All-SAC third baseman as released by the South Atlantic Conference on Wednesday afternoon. The Charlotte, N.C. native drove in seven runs last season while playing excellent defense behind the Tornados pitching staff on her way to garnering this preseason selection.
Carson-Newman College, which won the 2009 Food Lion SAC Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Divison II Southeast Super Regional championship, is the favorite to win the 2010 South Atlantic Conference softball championship in a vote of the league's head coaches, the conference announced.
Carson-Newman received four first-place votes and 72 total points, in a tight race between three of the league's traditional softball powerhouses. The Lady Eagles went 32-17 in 2009 and won their ninth South Atlantic Conference Tournament title and finished ranked 21st in the final NFCA poll.
Carson-Newman also placed five on the preseason All-Conference team, which was also announced. Third baseman Whitney Kee and outfielder Leah Price were selected to the preseason All-Conference first team, while first baseman Sarah Little, shortstop Jessie Howard and outfielder Whitney Durham were named to the second team.
Kee ranked among the conference leaders in runs scored, walks and on-base percentage. Price hit .349 and was among the conference leaders with 16 stolen bases. Little led the SAC in RBIs and home runs. Howard hit .378 and led the conference in runs scored. Durham hit .336 with 38 RBI last season.
Lenoir-Rhyne University, which has won five conference championships, is picked to finish second. The Bears received one first-place vote and 69 total points, to edge Wingate University by one point. Wingate, the defending conference champion, received three first-place votes.
The Bears placed three on the preseason All-Conference team. Catcher Sarah Atkins and shortstop Kat Rivers were named to the first team, while pitcher Dawon Millwood was named to the second team.
Rivers was fifth in the league with a .408 batting average and had four triples. Atkins hit .376 with 15 doubles and 10 home runs last season. Millwood was 18-4 with 97 strikeouts as a freshman last season.
The Bulldogs also had three on the preseason All-Conference team. Pitcher Brittany Blankenship and outfielder LaRonda McClain were named to the first team, while pitcher Allison Smith was named to the second team.
McClain led the SAC with 27 stolen bases while batting .374 with 41 runs scored. Blankenship was 18-7 with 90 strikeouts, while Smith led the league with a 0.94 ERA, going 13-7 with 129 strikeouts.
Newberry College is picked to finish fourth. Newberry received one first-place vote and 51 total points.
Newberry had two named to the preseason All-Conference team. Pitcher Amanda Huckestein, the 2008 SAC Pitcher of the year after going 18-6 with a league-best 178 strikeouts, was named to the first team, while utility player Sara Powell was named to the second team. Powell hit .289 and was among the league leaders with 21 walks.
Mars Hill College is picked to finish fifth with 43 points. The Lions, who finished tied for second with Lenoir-Rhyne last season, tied Carson-Newman with five on the preseason All-Conference team.
First baseman Ashley Seawell, second baseman Rebekah Huff and outfielder Anna James were named to the first team, while outfielders Ashley Angell and Natalie Haithcox were named to the second team. Seawell hit .389 last season with nine home runs and 40 RBI. Huff hit .281 with 12 stolen bases. James hit .326 with 20 RBI. Angell hit .343 and had 13 stolen bases. Haithcox, the 2008 SAC Freshman of the Year, missed all but six games last year, but was an All-American in 2008.
Catawba College is picked to finish sixth with 40 points. Second baseman Allie Marshall, the 2007 SAC Freshman of the Year, was named to the second team. She had 40 RBI and 10 home runs last season.
Lincoln Memorial University is projected to finish seventh with 26 points. Catcher Devin Sponseller, who hit .330 last season, was named to the preseason All-Conference second team.
Tusculum College received 21 points for eighth place.
Brevard College rounds out the poll with 15 points. Brevard placed third baseman Maddie Fletcher on the preseason All-Conference second team.

By Jake Landers
Published January 2013
A plant that is abundant in our pastures is Feverfew, or should I say in some pastures, because it can be dense in one and absent across the fence. Most of the time the plant grows in patches on shallow soil as well as on the deeper soil of Mesquite flats, probably in response to some heavy grazing in the past. But it is present also in some roadsides that are not regularly mowed such as Lone Star Alley near Menard, Texas, where I often drive to observe the abundance of native wildflowers and grasses. Some pastures on the road to the ranch, however, were dominated by Broomweed or Croton instead of Feverfew. Grazing history and the kind of livestock have contributed to which plant is dominant, and I haven't figured it all out.
Feverfew is also called St.Maria feverfew, False ragweed, and scientifically, Parthenium confertum. It is a weak perennial, some years coming back strong from the old root system and in other years disappearing temporarily and coming back from seed following a drought year when grass competition is weak.
Its small white flower heads are not attractive like many other members of the Sunflower family. Each has five ray points that produce one seed and the rest of the flower head produces pollen. The plants tend to be loosely flat-topped, and from a distance their overall appearance is grey green. A little frost, and Feverfew disintegrates quickly while Croton and Broomweed, especially, dry up and persist through the winter.
Another Feverfew occurs as scattered individuals in the edge of fields and roadsides. It must come up from seed every year. The flower heads are smaller and more abundant, usually scattered all over the plant instead of being formed at the top. It is called False ragweed, Cicutilla, and scientifically, Parthenium hysterophorus.
Neither of the Feverfews is grazed by livestock or deer to any extent. Glands on the leaves contain sesquiterpene lactones which can cause serious dermatitis in some people who handle them. I have not heard of any other reaction to the plants that are growing here. Unfortunately, one of the two has appeared as an alien plant in India where it has become a serious weed with severe dermatitis to agricultural workers along with the displacement of native plants. Our experience in this country with alien weeds, mostly from Europe, has not been pleasant, but none of the weeds that I know of causes any skin reaction.
From their common name, I would guess that these plants would be used in some way in herbal medicine to reduce fever, but I have not found a reference in the books. However, a Chrysanthemum from Europe that is called Feverfew has many references to its effective use. It does not look at all like ours. With my next fever, I will probably stay with aspirin or an ice pack and not do any experimental medicine using our local Feverfews or the European one. Maybe a venturesome teenager will do that for me.
Reading The Landscape
Whereabouts in the Texas Hill Country is this location? What is the yellow wildflower along the water's edge? —JL
|See below for Jake's answer
Jake's summary: The view is upstream from the low water crossing of the San Saba River one block away from the MainStreet of Menard TX. The yellow flower is Spanish Needles which grows briefly in flower each fall on the water;s edge. Highway 83 bridge crosses the river to the west, and an expansive recreational park with 100-plus-year-old Pecan trees lies to the north. —JL

Christian counseling can be defined in a number of ways. Finding a counselor who is trained in the skills of counseling and licensed by the state as well as trained in theology, is not easy. However, at Resolution Counseling, we have two therapists who are trained in theology as well as secular counseling. Most individuals who request Christian counseling are concerned about integrating their spiritual beliefs into their counseling sessions. Our Christian counselors believe that the core of what they do is to help people achieve a better understanding of themselves and God in light of their faith.

As we covered at the end of August, the Seattle Mariners will have a group of eight prospects playing for the Peoria Javelinas when the Arizona Fall League season kicks off on Tuesday. The Javelinas have a 32-game regular season, and Seattle's players may also be lucky enough to compete in the league's popular Rising Stars Game on Saturday, November 3rd and the League Championship Game, which takes place on Saturday, November 17th.
When the Mariners' prospects headed to Arizona were named, Director of Player Development Chris Gwynn said, "We are extremely proud with the seasons each of these players have had this year and look forward to seeing all of them compete in the Arizona Fall League. The Arizona Fall League allows each player to set goals and work on individual areas of their game, while competing against some the top prospect in the minor leagues."
Of the players Seattle sent to Arizona, everyone will be most interested in watching the Mariners' top selection in this year's draft, catcher Mike Zunino., Taken 3rd overall out of the University of Florida, the 22-year-old catcher started his minor league career on fire for the Everett Aquasox in the Northwest league, where he was named a post-season All-Star despite playing less than half a season there, and his promotion to the Jackson Generals didn't cool his bat off at all. He hit .379 and led the Generals in most offensive categories in the post season as well.
With Jesus Montero looking more and more like a long-term DH as the season wore on, the right-handed hitting Zunino looks like a lock to be the Mariners future at catcher. But while seemingly every Mariners fan out there is already clamoring for the native of Coral Gables, FL, at the big league level to start 2013, the realistic timetable is for Mike to continue to get work at the minor league level – possibly returning to Double-A or possibly at Triple-A Tacoma – refining his catching skills and handling of pitchers to start the 2013 season while continuing to get more pro at bats under his belt.
Shortstop Nick Franklin is in for a second tour of duty with Peoria, having played last year when he was named MVP of the 2011 Rising Stars game after going 4 for 5 and driving in four runs with two doubles and a home run off of the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft, Pittsburgh's Gerrit Cole. Franklin played great at Double-A Jackson at the start of this season and won the Player of the Month Award for May before being promoted to Triple-A Tacoma. He didn't enjoy quite the same level of success for the Rainiers, but the 21-year-old switch-hitter did still show flashes of plus power and good patience at the plate and showed good defensive actions and instincts in the field while playing both shortstop and second base.
The switch-hitting Franklin, who not too long ago was seen as head-and-shoulders above the rest of Seattle's minor league middle infield options, suddenly has a lot of competition as the top shortstop in the minor leagues for the Mariners, with Brad Miller – who was bestowed with the club's Heart and Soul Award while ranking 2nd in the minor leagues in hits with 186 – playing well at Double-A to end the year and Carlos Triunfel – once the club's most promising prospect – making his major league debut at the end of the season and showing some pop and a strong arm. Franklin played well enough in Triple-A to continue to warrant optimism about his future, but he did show that he still needed some work.
Left-hander James Paxton is probably the least heralded of the "Big Three" pitching prospects (with Danny Hultzen and Taijuan Walker), but he put together the most consistent season of the three. Paxton was also the only one trending in the right direction as the season ended and he shined for Jackson in the playoffs, not allowing an earned run and striking out 19 (with only three walks) in 13 1/3 innings in the playoffs. He missed time because of a knee injury in early June, but put up an ERA of 2.33 and a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.60 in 10 starts in the regular season after returning.
Paxton has a big fastball that can reach the upper 90s and a hard breaking curve that leads to a lot of strikeouts, but his mechanics have been known to fail him at times, leading to bouts of control problems for the Richmond, BC native. That has been better since the knee healed up, and there was talk that the club took extra time with his recovery as it worked on a mechanical issue with his landing that may have played into that knee injury. If James continues to show a better handle on his mechanics and command as he did in the 2nd half, he could enter 2013 Spring Training as a leading contender for a rotation spot in the big leagues with Seattle.
Third baseman/outfielder Vinnie Catricala ended his first season in Triple-A with a slugging percentage more than 250 points below his 2011 mark this year, so getting him back in form in the AFL would be huge for the M's. He shot up prospect charts with his performance last year when he hit a combined .349/.421/.601 while hitting 48 doubles, 25 home runs and driving in 106 runs in 133 games and had entered 2012 Spring Training with the tag of best hitting prospect on Seattle's farm. That label looked legit through February and March as he hit the ball well in both minor league camp and with the big club. But Vinnie's bat started slow and he never really recovered for Tacoma this year.
The right-handed hitting Catricala – who doesn't have a great defensive position fit anywhere on the diamond – appears to have been passed up by a number of hitting prospects within the organization, but a return to even his pre-2011 form could turn that back around and put him very close to the big leagues.
Stefen Romero, the right-handed hitting infielder who was named the Mariners' Minor League Player of the Year earlier this month, did in 2012 what Catricala did in 2011, hitting .352/.391/.599 at the same two stops as Vinnie this season. The 23-year-old Oregon State product slipped in the draft because of a broken arm, but the 12th round pick is a career .318/.368/.534 hitter in his two minor league seasons with Seattle. Romero also hit well and showed the big league staff some good things in MLB camp with the Mariners last year and his Mariners roots run deep, as he told SeattleClubhouse's Rick Randall that he has a video of himself saying he wanted to play for the Mariners from when he was just eight or nine years of age.
Romero is on Peoria's "taxi-squad", meaning that he will only be eligible to play in Wednesday and Saturday games. Primarily a second baseman to this point as a professional, one of the goals for Romero – who was a third baseman in college – in the AFL could be to get him more familiar with other defensive positions, most likely third base again and possibly the outfield corners.
Logan Bawcom was one of the Mariners' deadline additions in 2012, coming over from the Los Angeles Dodgers as part of the Brandon League trade. The 23-year-old Texan had some rough early outings as he got settled in with Jackson, but he was very good to close out the year for the Generals. His 25 saves combined for three squads this season ranked 8th in the minors and the former 17th round pick posted an ERA of an even 2.00 this year.
Though he wasn't and isn't a top prospect, Bawcom is considered a fairly safe bet to be a big league contributor soon, probably as a middle reliever. A strong showing in the AFL by the right-hander could have him fighting for one of the very competitive bullpen spots in that role with the Mariners as early as next year.
Bobby LaFromboise was remarkable this season in both Double-A and Triple-A for the M's. The 6-foot-4, sidewinding left-hander really excelled in just his second season pitching strictly out of the bullpen, posting a 1.36 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 66 1/3 innings with 70 strikeouts. He allowed only one home run all season and held left-handed hitters to a .144 AVG in 123 plate appearances, striking out 41 of them along the way. A former 8th round pick, LaFromboise moved past some of the other left-handed relief options in the organization this year because of that ability to get left-handers out and keep the ball in the park versus all batters.
As is the case with most Mariners minor league relievers, Bobby has been used to pitch multiple innings throughout his minor league career since converting from starter. With that thought in mind, showing that he can consistently get right-handers out with an out pitch will be something to watch for in the AFL so that he has a chance to be more than just a LOOGY in the big leagues.
Right-hander Carson Smith is a fast rising bullpen arm and former 8th round pick, too. 2012 was his minor league debut season and he showed a lot of promise, getting markedly better as the season went along. He had command and control issues early, but pitching at the back-end of the bullpen for High Desert he became a shut-down closer in the 2nd half, allowing only two earned runs over his last 28 appearances (33 2/3 IP). Smith has a herky-jerky motion that causes some deception, but the stuff is real, too, and he missed plenty of bats and got a ton of ground balls in one of the most hitter-friendly environments in all of MiLB.
Drafted out of college in 2011, the 6-foot-5 Smith will be 23-years-old later this month. His age paired with his 2012 success and AFL assignment could mean an aggressive promotion timeline from this point forward for Carson. His ceiling adds to the Mariners' coffers as he is yet another power arm with late-game potential.
Stay tuned to SeattleClubhouse throughout the AFL season for updates on these players and more for the Seattle Mariners.

I stare out to sea, a heaving blur of grey with white-capped breakers. Two thoughts occur to me – why didn't I bring better wet weather gear, and how did this place get this odd name?
A lovely, clear Autumn day onsite at Eric the RedImage: Wayne GerdtzSource: Museum Victoria
I am perched on a rock in a sheltered pocket of the beach and near some dune vegetation, the wind and rain intermittently reminding me of my inadequate clothing. Between myself and the sea is a small pile of grey rock which I have been progressively breaking open with my hammer and chisel, searching for fossils. A few metres beyond some of my fellow crew are swinging sledgehammers at a large section of this rock, working on extracting more material to be broken down in a search for more fossils.
A group of volunteer diggers brave the elements onsite at the 'Eric the Red' fossil dig.Image: Wayne GerdtzSource: Museum Victoria
We are sitting on a beach near the Cape Otway Lighthouse in late March, close to a location called "Eric the Red". The grey rock we are processing were once sediments laid down in a streambed in a rift valley over 100 million years ago. Amongst the grey sediments are seams of fossilised plant material, and very occasionally, fossil bones of animals that lived and died nearby.
A rock ready for breaking onsite at Eric the Red - who knows what fossils it might yeild? As it turns out - none.Image: Wayne GerdtzSource: Museum Victoria
I am here as part of a Museum Victoria field trip to collect these fossils; amongst me is a wonderfully diverse group of people; Palaeontology students and academics, Museum staff, amateur enthusiasts and assorted interested folk. Together, our aim is to process this Cretaceous rock, search for fossil bone, record our finds and package them carefully for their voyage to the Museum Victoria Palaeontology collections, housed in the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens.
But...'Eric the Red'? What's that name all about?
Weeks later, in the decidedly more dry and comfortable setting of the Museum, I decide to research why the site is called "Eric the Red". It turns out that 'Eric the Red' was a vessel that was shipwrecked close to the shoreline of where we were digging; it ran aground in 1880 on a reef composed of the very same unit of rock we were excavating. The vessel was wrecked on the final leg of its otherwise uneventful voyage from New York to Melbourne, carrying a cargo of exhibits for the USA pavilion at the 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition – silverware, toys and pianos were among its diverse manifest. An interesting coincidence was that the ultimate destination for the Cargo of the Eric the Red was the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens in Melbourne – this is also the destination for the fossils we were extracting from the site, as Museum Victoria's Palaeontology Collections and laboratory are in the basement of the Exhibition Building.

Thankfully the fate of our diggers and our precious cargo was less tragic than that of the crew and cargo of the 'Eric the Red'; the wreck resulted in the loss of life of some crew. You can read a full account of the wreck of "Eric the Red" on Heritage Victoria's website, and also a the reportage of the tragedy in "The Argus" via Trove.

Woodbridge Ferris was not planning to run for reelection to the Senate when he became sick in March 1928. The physician who attended him in his last illness was the personal physician of President Woodrow Wilson.
When Woodbridge N. Ferris died suddenly in 1928, the Ferris Institute campus and the state of Michigan paused to mourn. While Ferris had announced his intention not to run for a second term, he was not in particularly poor health. Arthur Vandenburg, appointed to succeed him in the United States Senate spoke movingly of his contributions not only to the state of Michigan but to the world. A train brought Ferris back to Big Rapids, Michigan where he was laid to rest in Highland View Cemetery with his first wife Helen Gillespie Ferris. A photo of the funeral is available as part of the photo essay.
Here are some links to text of obituaries and news articles published in various newspapers when Ferris died in March 1928.

Needless to say, you state that you are using BT3 which is officially not supported, but that is what you are going to need to do in order to get it to compile, you will need kernel sources.

After passing through the Joralemon Street Tunnel, the first station in Brooklyn is in fact Brooklyn's first subway station: Borough Hall (East Side Branch). This station is physically separate from the Borough Hall station serving the West Side IRT branch described above. In the southeast corner of the mezzanine, a plaque commemorating the subway's arrival in Brooklyn is found. The platform and mezzanine walls feature an intricate intertwined "BH" mosaic. Also in the mezzanine is a remnant of New York's Past: a bank teller window which used to be served by a local bank.
Some relatives depths of stations in the Borough Hall complex are as follows (measurements unscientific, +/- 10 feet).
- IRT (4 & 5 Station, 2 & 3 Manhattan-bound), 15 feet below street
- IRT (2 & 3 Brooklyn-bound), 30 feet below street
- BMT (M/N/R) Station, Brooklyn-bound end, 40 feet below street

South of Borough Hall, the Contract I (East Side) and Dual Contract (West Side) IRT lines join to form a four track line, with a local (2/3 trains) and express (4/5 trains) layout. The Flatbush Avenue trunk line is quite complex, with the BMT Brighton Line trains using the two innermost of the six tracks in this area. The express tracks are at a lower level for a stretch.
Hoyt Street station has four tracks and two side platforms. This station has been renovated extensively in the 1980s. Old signs on the center I-beams between the local and express tracks read "Hoyt Street/Bridge Street". There is a closed entrace to the Macy's department store behind a grille at the north end of the southbound platform, which also used to serve as a crossunder between platforms. At the south end of the northbound platform is a closed-off passageway used by the police. One of the original ceramic cartouches has been preserved at the New York Transit Museum.

Four tracks, two island platforms. Disused lower level. The upper level has a wide space between the two express tracks. Originally, this station had the two express tracks plus a center track. The local tracks were added later and at that time, the center track was removed. The platforms are offset. There is a nice "N" mosaic in this station. There is an underpass here, from which it had been possible to see an unused lower level platform and trackways. (For more information on this, see Brennan's Guide to Disused Subway Stations). This station has recently been renovated, and unfortunately, upon completion of the renovation, the temporary wall in the underpass which afforded the view of the lower level platforms has been replaced with a tile wall. Access to the unused platform is via a cellar-type door at the north end of each platform.

Four tracks, two side and one island platform. Express trains use the island platform shared by the two center tracks while the locals use the two wall platforms. On the center platform there are two old indicator signs indicating next train, used for non-rush hour short turn trains. The trackway to the LIRR is still visible at the north end of the northbound local track although much of it is behind corrugated wall. Rumors abound about this trackway, including whether or not a track ever existed! Stan Fischler's book The Subway, in the chapter on Belmont's private car Mineola, suggests that it did. Other evidence indicates that if in fact track was ever laid in the trackway it was covered over by 1920 and disconnected entirely from the IRT and the switches removed in 1922. (A fine site discussing this LIRR connection is located at aRRts aRRchives.) The LIRR platforms are clearly visible on the other side of floor to ceiling railings. The northbound local trackway and track have been completely redone with concrete base and welded rail. An old style sign to the Brooklyn Academy of Music still exists.
Some relatives depths of stations in the Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street complex are as follows (measurements unscientific, +/- 10 feet):
- LIRR Station, 20 feet below street
- IRT Station, 20 feet below street
- BMT (D/Q) Station, 50 feet below street
- BMT (M/N/R) Station, 40 feet below street

There is an emergency exit from the express level at the south end of each platform. There is a second, unused mezzanine, token booth, and turnstile area at the north end of this station (a very close look at the tiles in this area will reveal a door to this area). This entrance has been removed on street level. The Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum station had a small tower at the south end of the northbound platform until the 1950s.

There are four tracks and two island platforms. A free transfer to the BMT Franklin Shuttle's Botanic Garden Station was added in 1999. This is also the last chance to transfer between New Lots and Flatbush Ave. trains.
Reader Carl W. writes:
Franklin Avenue is a gap station, that is, a station where local and express trains stop. At the south end of the southbound platform, and north end of the northbound platform, was office space for dispatchers, known as assistant train dispatchers (ATDs). The assistant train dispatchers worked by using the register sheets to write train arrival and departure times, car numbers, schedules and crews. On the Eastern Parkway line of the 2, 3 and 4 trains, Nostrand Junction is an area located south of Franklin Avenue, and had a tower called Nostrand Junction. Nostrand Junction has been replaced by the Utica Avenue tower which is located at the Utica Avenue mezzanine. (Utica Avenue had assistant train dispatchers too.)

The new signs are correct but the mosaic omits the second 'e' as does the token booth (at platform level) and the platform extensions of the 60s. I found evidence of a closed crossunder.

Two tracks, two side platforms connected in a "U" shape at the south end where the fare control is located. Elevators allow access to the street. This was not meant to be a terminal station. The line was mapped to continue in Nostrand Avenue to Sheepshead Bay. The contract was in two or more sections of which only the one, ending at this station, was built. To accommodate a crossover, the south end entry at Avenue H was added on slightly after the station's opening to make the U-shape platform. Indicia of the more recent construction of this exit are seen in the tilework. Other indications were in the floor and walls but these were covered over in the mid 1990s reconstruction.
It was agitated for by the local community leaders during the mid 1990s renovation to open an exit on the west side of Flatbush Avenue next to Brooklyn College. This was not done. The room for this exit was given to utility and crew space.
There was on the south side of Avenue H between Nostrand and Flatbush Avenues a substation for the BMT trolley and subway. It was demolished around 1960. There remain today manholes in Avenue H for the BRT and BQT from this substation. The site is now a city carpark for park-and-ride customers of the IRT. It is virtually empty despite the huge increase in riders from growth around and south of the station. The community is urging to build a bus and van depot here with direct entry into the station. So far nothing has come of the idea.
For many years this station and Newkirk Avenue station were plagued with flooding in heavy storms. The water literally overflowed the trackway and platforms. The cause was a refilling of the local water table with no withdrawal from it. There was from before the subway the the Flatbush Water Company on what is now the grounds of Brooklyn College. It drew off of the ground water for its supply and thus kept the level lower than the stations. Recall that waterproofing was done mainly when the route descended below the water table. The water business folded in the 1930s, freeing the land for the College. But there was no more drainage of the water and the ground gradualy recharged to overflowing. By the mid 1950s flooding at Flatbush and Newkirk stations was routine and disruptive to the service. Many times trains were turned at President Street or Church Avenue or the line was closed completely. Riders were sent upstairs to buses sent out to continue the run to Flatbush Abenue. Fixups in the 1960s and early 1970s were unsuccessful. In the 1980s a final solution was worked out by waterproofing the structure and laying in larger storm mains. Now the trains flow into and out of Flatbush Avenue regardless of the weather upstairs.

Two levels with two tracks and one island platform on each level. Through trains to New Lots use the southern half of each platform, and terminating trains use the northern half (inbound on the upper level, outbound on the lower level). There is an an active tower at the south end of the upper level platform, and a closed one on the lower level paltform. In the station there are ornate doors in the tile walls which serve as vent chambers for the station. The station was recently renovated including sun and moon artwork on the trackside walls.
Although named for Utica Avenue the station lies from Schenectady Avenue to about 2/3 of the way to Utica Avenue. There are no exits at Utica Avenue itself. This displacement away from Utica Avenue allows sufficient easement for the IRT's Utica Avenue line, plans for which were proposed as far back as the 1930s by both the IRT and in IND Second System plans. To accomodate the expansion proposals, the line east of the station divides into three routes. Just outside the station on the local track are bellmouths leading south in Utica Avenue for the proposed Utica Avenue line. This was not preempted by the later IND plan for such a route but an alternative. From time to time the one or the other plan is resurrected, only to sink and die again.
East of Utica Avenue the tracks in the tunnel split into the present New Lots line and a set of layup tracks. These tracks lie under Pitkin Avenue and are intended to continue the IRT east in that street. The tunnel mouth between Utica Avenue and Sutter-Rutland is an early example of a split-level portal. The three tracks of the Livonia Avenue line start to diverge on the el and are well separated as they enter the tunnel.

Leaving the subway, the line to New Lots Avenue is a standard Dual Contracts elevated line. The structure has two tracks (except at Junius Street which has a center track used to access the Linden Yard). The structure is wide enough throughout its length for a center track and evidence in the stations above the mezzanine shows a partial third track existed in all stations except New Lots and Junius Street. This partial track has the trackway plus cross ties set into the concrete but no rails. I have no information as to whether there were rails and they were removed or if the trackway with cross ties is the end of the idea for a third track. Along part of the line, the space is used for various signal rooms and mechanical rooms.
The stations are all fairly nondescript elevated stations. There are no crossovers except at Junius Street. The first elevated station is at Sutter Avenue/Rutland Road, which is over East 98th Street. This station has full canopy on the north end and no windscreen on the south end.

Canon PowerShot NMonday January 14 2013 Mobile Preview
Canon has announced its new PowerShot N model. In this competitive market a product needs some particular advantage and the PowerShot N is marketed as a very 'connected' camera, its built in Wi-fi should connect easily to your smartphone, making it easy to geotag your images or to share pictures or video while on the go. The question is, is it a good enough camera to outweigh the fact that your smartphone probably does most of the same things?
The convergence of the compact camera market and the smartphone market means that a connected camera really needs to be very good to survive. The Canon PowerShot N is well specified, it has a 12.1 Megapixel, 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor backed up by Canon's Digic 5 image processor, it does full HD Video, image stabilization and everything else that you would expect from a decent compact digital camera. However, you would now be able to have the same functionality from a smartphone.
What makes the PowerShot N so much better is the lens. The Canon is fitted with a 5mm – 40mm optical zoom lens (equivalent to 28mm – 224mm). It also has a digital zoom, which is all that the smartphones have, so the image quality you will get when the PowerShot N is used 'telephoto' will be based on the full sensor resolution rather than simply a tiny crop from the middle of the sensor.
Based on the specifications, if you are interested in photography and want a small camera with straightforward connectivity then the PowerShot N looks very promising, but is it just a matter of time before smartphones start to sport zoom lenses to compete with it?

Homebirth and the National Australian Maternity Services Review: Too hot to handle?
Research article by H. Dahlen a,, V.Schmied a, S.K.Tracy b, M.Jackson a, J. Cummings c, H.Priddis
Many positive recommendations have come from the Maternity Services Review (MSR), however the decision to exclude homebirth from these reforms is perplexing considering the large number of submissions describing the benefits of and barriers to homebirth in Australia. A concerning number of submissions discuss having had or having considered an unattended birth at home due to these barriers. Overall there is the belief that not enabling access to funded, insured homebirth in Australia is a violation of human rights. It appears that homebirth was considered by the MSR as 'too hot to handle' and by dismissing it as a minority issue the government sought to avoided dealing with homebirth as a 'sensitive and controversial issue.'
Find full article
We have just over 17 months before the exemption from professional indemnity insurance for midwives attending homebirth expires. Homebirth as a 'senstive and controversial issue' is just not good enough. We need solutions now!

Ilse - from Teguciglap, Honduras
Yes! Candy flavorings can be used as flavorings for icings in place of vanilla and almond extracts, but remember that most candy flavorings are oil based and super-concentrated. You will only need a few drops of candy flavorings in a recipe that uses 1/2-1 teaspoon of baking extracts. Start out with a small amount, then add additional to taste. It's always easier to add more!
