In a deal announced on Friday morning, Seek paid $US105 million for a 16.8 per cent stake in the Chinese business.
It now owns 72.3 per cent of Zhaopin and could go as high as 79 per cent via a buyback offered to other shareholders on the same terms.
Macquarie Capital and a number of individual investors, including seed investors and former Zhaopin staff, were among the sellers.
Seek head of international Jason Lenga said the deal allowed Seek to exercise more control over plans to float Zhaopin.
Lenga said Seek sees itself as a long-term shareholder, while Macquarie's motivations were as a financial investor.
James Packer's Consolidated Press Holdings, which is another substantial investor, did not take part in the sale.
The deal valued Zhaopin at $US558 million, or 16-times calendar 2012 earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation.
The deal also valued Zhaopin at 21-times on a price-to-earnings basis, similar to the trading multiples of Nasdaq-listed peers 51job (19.3-times) and Monster Worldwide (19.8-times).
Lenga said an Zhaopin was working towards an initial public offer, but the company had not committed to a timeframe or a specific deal structure.
Seek shares were up 3 per cent to $7.48 on Friday morning.
Zhaopin is China's second largest jobs website behind 51job. It reported 91 per cent profit growth in the year to June 30 and 31 per cent online revenue growth.
Goldman Sachs and Macquarie Capital advised on the deal.

Stamping Out Breast Cancer
An alcoholic father and related strife at home in Los Angeles put Ernie Bodai at risk of flunking out of UC Davis Medical School in the mid-1970s. C. John Tupper, the school's founding dean, took the young student and his family under his wing. As a result, Bodai's father got sober and landed a job as a university researcher. Bodai not only graduated from medical school but went on to become a surgeon and internationally renowned champion of breast cancer research.
"Those were tough times for me," Bodai recalls. "If it weren't for Tupper, I wouldn't be here right now."
Bodai's brainchild, the breast cancer research postage stamp, has raised $93 million for breast cancer research since 1998, including work to identify women for whom chemotherapy would do more harm than good and new nanotechnologies to deliver drugs directly to tumors.
Bodai says Tupper — and the whole medical school and surgery training experience at UC Davis — helped instill in him a strong sense of empathy, a quality that anchors everything he has done since.
A condition called Dupuytren's contracture that affects his hands, plus complications from glaucoma, ended Bodai's surgical career at Kaiser Permanente three years ago. But he wasn't ready to quit, and he now runs Kaiser's successful breast cancer survivorship clinic, helping women with treatment side effects and providing guidance on lifestyle changes to improve health and lower risk of recurrence.
Looking back at the role UC Davis played in his life, Bodai reflects: "You go there for an education, but you also go there to grow up and become an adult. The school not only educated me to provide good patient care but provided moral support that enhanced my personality and instilled empathy that translates to better patient care."

Manila, Philippines (UPI) Jan 8, 2013
Three police officers and three soldiers were among 13 armed people killed during a shootout with security forces in a street in Quezon City in the Philippines.
Two of the soldiers were carrying military intelligence identification, a report by The Philippines Star newspaper said.
The men, including alleged gambling czar Victorino Siman, who operated mainly in the southern area of Luzon, the largest Philippine island, were killed in two sport utility vehicles.
Police said the vehicles ran a military checkpoint around 3 p.m. after refusing to allow security personnel to search the vehicles. Police officers and soldiers opened fire, leaving the vehicles riddled with bullets from the 10-minute exchange.
Police launched an investigation into the shootings in which many of the dead had been shot in the head, the Philistar report said.
Investigators are looking into reports that the dead men were acting as bodyguards for Siman and members of his business.
Police suspected the vehicles were carrying up to $2.5 million from illegal gambling operations in the Tagalog and Bicol regions of Luzon, although no cash was found, the Philistar report said.
Siman was suspected of running guns and police said they recovered eight .45-caliber pistols, a baby Armalite and an M-14 rifle from the vehicles.
A report by ABS-CBN News said Siman and another companion who died in shooting -- Mimaropa police chief of operations superintendent Alfredo Perez Consemino -- were business partners in a security agency.
The checkpoint had been set up because of a tip received by police that the group would be in the area for a meeting regarding illegal gambling businesses, ABS-CBN said.
Jueteng -- a numbers game -- is illegal in the Philippines but has proved virtually impossible to stamp out over the decades.
Soon after being elected in mid 2010, President Benigno Aquino III said he wouldn't legalize the multimillion-dollar numbers game played clandestinely but widely by rich and poor throughout the country.
It was jueteng that led to the downfall of former President Joseph Estrada, who sought re-election but lost to Aquino, a report by GMA News said in 2010.
Estrada, in 2000, was accused of receiving millions worth of kickbacks from jueteng operators, allegation he repeatedly denied. After being detained for six years, he was convicted of plunder in September 2007, but was given presidential pardon a month later, GMA said.
Jueteng is "embedded in local culture" because it has the support of local communities, a report by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism said.
A "cobrador" knocks on people's doors to solicit bets and winnings also are delivered straight to their homes by the same cobrador.
"Jueteng aficionados are the next-door neighbor, the sari-sari store retailer, the tricycle mechanic, etc," the report said. "Villagers shell out spare change to aid the neighborhood cobrador who engages in jueteng to make ends meet."
A major appeal is that people see their community winning money.
"Winning in jueteng, unlike other forms of gambling, is tangible. One's next-door neighbor wins, not someone from a distant province announced over the radio," the report said.

President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed "deep concern" over the growing interest in the media and among politicians about his 2015 presidential ambitions.
There have been increasing speculation in the media about whether or not President Jonathan had plans to run in the 2015 presidential race and how that might affect the country's security.
In a press statement, signed by the President's Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Reuben Abati, called the speculations an "irritating distraction" designed to "heat up the polity unnecessarily".
"The pointless, diversionary and very distractive hue and cry about the President's alleged ambition to seek a second term in office is becoming increasingly disturbing by the day with headlines such as "JONATHAN'S 2015 AMBITION CAN BREAK UP NIGERIA" and "JONATHAN'S 2015 AMBITION FUELING INSECURITY," now regular fare in our newspapers and on the internet," the statement read.
Abati, in the statement, went on to assure that the President is not at all concerned about the 2015 race.
He said Jonathan's "primary concern and the focus of all his efforts now, just about a year into the four-year tenure for which he was elected in April 2011, is to deliver on his promise of positive national transformation.
"The President's sole preoccupation as the nation moves towards the first anniversary of his administration on May 29, 2012 is to continue to give effective and purposeful leadership that will steer Nigeria towards overcoming its immediate security and developmental challenges.
"Nothing could be farther from President Jonathan's mind at this point," the statement said.
The media aide said the speculation "the inordinate ambition of a few self-centred Nigerians and their obsession with the politics of political succession in 2015 must not be allowed to distract the nation and its current leadership from the task of dealing with the much more urgent issues of development and the safety of Nigerians".
Recently, National Security Adviser Owoye Azazi blamed the rise in terror attacks in the country on Jonathan's decision to run for president in the 2011 general elections, adding that the ruling PDP exclusion politics has served to further increase the intensity and frequency of attacks by the Boko Haram sect.
Azazi came under fire for the attacks and the PDP affirmed its support behind President Jonathan's leadership.
The presidency in the statement warned the media against focusing on Jonathan's 2015 ambitions.

Meet The World's Oldest Newlyweds
It took Rose Pallard a long time to commit to her boyfriend, Forrest Lunsway. Thirty years, in fact. The two had been together that long when 90-year-old Rose finally agreed to marry Forrest—on his 100th birthday. The two tied the knot in Southern California on March 19 in a joint wedding and centenial birthday party. And while they might be the oldest newlyweds in the world, man, do they still have some moves. After all, Forrest did get down on one knee and ask for Rose's hand in marriage without any issues. Rose's advice for making romance last? "Be forgiving and patient and say 'I love you' every once in a while," she explained. I also think these two are poster children for lookalike couples—they have almost identical faces. [Buzzfeed]

The teen singer on Glee, Charice Pempengco, did a 30-minute Thermage skin-tightening procedure and Botox to make her "naturally round face" more narrow. Could this work?
Glee's Charice Got Botox and Thermage to Narrow Her Face
Doctor Answers 3
Botulinum Toxin (Dysport and Botox) to "thin" the face or make a round face appear longer
Thermage may help to diminish subcutaneous fat and "tighten" skin but it also has been reported to be not effective for some or to cause firm nodules beneath the surface. Off-label use of Botulinum Toxin (Dysport and Botox) for masseter reduction is also a relatively common procedure. While I perform the latter, I am not a strong advocate of the former at this point in time.
Learn more: http://www.bodysculptor.com/skin-procedures-chicago/injectables/botox/
Thermage is basically a radio frequency treatment that tightens the skin
Thermage is basically a radio frequency treatment that tightens the skin. If you have a rounder face because of looser skin, then Thermage might be used to lift and tighten. BOTOX can also be used to lift the eyebrows and tighten the neckline to make the face appear longer and narrower.
Botox can be used for a more narrow face
Non-approved uses of Botox include decreasing the bulk of the masseter muscle in those whose cheeks are wide and not narrow. It also can be used to help people with TMJ problems of their jaw as these muscles may not be balanced well and it can cause pain which may be relieved by the Botox. Thermage may tighten skin that is loose but may not change youthful skin.

York Street gardens will close at 3 p.m. on Friday, July 21 for a concert. Other early closings.
I'm eating lunch right now. (That's part of the reason there is no picture: you don't need to see me chewing.) And this sandwich is my payoff for being attentive to my gardening. It might seem to be just a leftover from dinner last night, but I know it includes the first harvest of homegrown spinach for the year. Its fun to grow plants for their beauty, or the composition of the garden overall, but there's a special satisfaction that comes with the first harvest of something edible.
In my case, I seeded the spinach when I started my peas, and but the soil was cold enough that both crops got a really slow start. Now the peas are finally starting to climb and spinach has enough leaves to take a few. I have perfectly fresh spinach from now until the plant bolts and flowers in hot weather. It's organic growing: compost has proven it self a sufficient fertilizer and a few nibbles from enterprising insects have not bothered the plants, or us hungry gardeners.
There are lots of opportunites for people to become gardeners who get payoffs. This Saturday is Beginning Vegetable and Herb Gardening taught by Betty Cahill at the Gardens. The Shop at the Gardens has many, many seeds from Botanical Interests and a selection of some garden tools. PlantTalk includes a lot of knowledge written for beginners, including one on harvesting leafy vegetables. Colorado State Extension offers even more resources for yards and gardens. The Rocky Mountain Gardening Certificate classes offer lessons for edible gardening as well as ornamental gardening. Are you going to try it this year? Think of the payoff: this sandwich blended tastes of tomato, cheese, spinach and spices, baked in the oven on crusty bread.
Some people speak about urban gardening as a virtue: a homegrown, self-reliance value or a sustainability solution or a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps story that might have been penned by Horatio Alger. To me, it is a pleasure and a satisfaction. The taste and nourishment is wonderful but is further sweetened by the knowledge of success. However modest it seems, growing from seeds to plant to table is an accomplishment, an intention carried out and made manifest. And while we gardeners mourn our failures, (That one potted tomato 2 years ago? I still can't figure it out!) it's important to celebrate success, whether we call it "organic spinach for lunch" or "I didn't kill it after all!" I know that my now-finished sandwich with its spinach will sustain me into the afternoon while the pleasure of success will sustain me through the year. That's the payoff.
Now if only the carrots were as happy...

Acrobat Customer Stories wrapped up in an example of Adobe Dynamic PDF
So often when you see a customer success story, it's represented as a static PDF document. There will be pictures, quotes and the text that describe how that organization uses Acrobat and PDF to solve a business challenge. I'm very excited that the latest version of our customer success document is a great example of a Dynamic PDF file. It now contains videos, links to customer examples, and the full success story. Take a look and let me know what you think.
UPDATE: Additionally, Adobe has started using this technique in the stand-alone customer success stories, like this one. If you would like to learn how to use InDesign to create a similar document for your organization, Acrobat technical evangelist Joel Geraci has outlined the process we're using at Adobe.
I've just posted to Joel as well on this … your example file and the two files Joel has on his page that you reference above, are all called 'casestudy.pdf' You should probably develop unique names for each case study. [[Dean – good point. Thanks for the catch. –lori]]

Based in Philadelphia, Amanda Collett is employed at the Penn Fund, University of Pennsylvania as Class Giving Director, 15th & 20th Reunions.
Professional Experience
Post-graduation, I worked part-time retail and restaurant positions, while performing in the Fringe Festival (now Live Arts), the 24-hour film festival, and several short films shot in New York. I worked my way in to management positions at both the Gap at 15th & Walnut in Center City, and Twenty Manning Restaurant in Rittenhouse Square.
In 2005, I returned to the University of the Arts as an admission counselor. In February 2009, I was promoted to assistant director of Admission. As an admission counselor, I travelled extensively in Central and Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Central & Western New Jersey, Philadelphia County, and other areas of the U.S., representing the University to prospective students, reviewing art work and auditions, and networking with teachers and counselors.
I entered Drexel's Graduate Arts Administration program in September 2008, completed my coursework in December 2009, and am currently writing my thesis. I then moved to San Francisco in August 2010. While in California, I was an academic advisor at the Academy of Art University. I returned to Philadelphia in July 2011, accepting my current role at the University of Pennsylvania.
University & Alumni Association Involvement
As an alumna working in admissions, I considered myself a unique ambassador for the University. Post-graduation, I've stayed involved with University updates and attended alumni functions as my schedule allowed. In fall 2011, I participated in a young alumni discussion group. In spring 2012, I attended a UArts Fireside Chat.
Volunteer/Leadership Roles
During my entire time as a staff member at UArts, I was an active member of the Staff Council and was elected co-chair in 2009. As a Staff Council member, I helped plan the annual staff performance and exhibition hour. As co-chair, I helped plan and execute the Years of Service luncheon, as well as met bi-annually with President Buffington on behalf of the Council.
While a graduate student in Drexel's Arts Administration program, I was an elected representative on the Arts Administration Graduate Association and worked with a team of classmates to plan and execute the program's Annual Art Auction.
While living in San Francisco, I volunteered at the Hayes Valley Farm, an urban farm in Downtown San Francisco, using low-impact methods to repurpose a former highway ramp for community farm use.
Currently, I am a running leader at West Catholic High School with Students Run Philly Style (SRPS), a program that mentors middle and high school students through running training. We work with the students from February to November, with the ultimate goal to run either the full or half Philadelphia Marathon.
Personal Accomplishments
While a staff member at UArts, I was asked to serve on a joint faculty/staff budget advisory group for two consecutive years. I served as the Staff Council representative at President Buffington's inauguration and spoke at the induction ceremony. In February 2010, I was named Employee of the Month at UArts. I am also an avid runner and have completed the Broad Street Run three times, a half-marathon, and will be competing in my first triathlon this June.
Letter of Interest
An active and diverse alumni board is an asset to any university. As an alumna and former staff member, I bring a unique perspective to the Council. I have a proven track record of volunteer management, cross-disciplinary collaboration and relationship management. It would be an honor to take the professional and personal experiences I've had and apply them to advancing the work of the UArts Alumni Council. Many thanks for your time and consideration.

Just asking because I'm still having some joint pain and stiffness after a month of PB, although it's much better than it was before I started.
I'm taking 1 1200 mg. Fish Oil cap a day, but am concerned that my ratios might still be screwed up a little, since I can't always afford grass-fed beef, etc....and I have been indulging in a little (2-3 oz.) Brie once a week or so.
I'm thinking of doubling up, and taking two a day for awhile, but was wondering how much people here take?
Is there any down side to too much Fish Oil, other than the expense?
My mom had very bad Osteoarthritis, so I kind of freak out when my hip and knee start talking to me.
Unfortunately, going to the doctor is not really an option for me right now, as I have no insurance and very little money. I'd rather solve the problem myself, anyway :-)

Crafton Boro Council
Posted in the Crafton Forum
1 - 20 of 261 Comments Last updated Jan 13, 2013
#1 Mar 21, 2010
Is it my eyes or am I just slow, but did the new Crafton Council President DAN CINDRIC appoint the old Mayor/Council President ED STEWART to replace the seat of out going council member JAMES BLOOM. Now lets look at this, the 3rd WARD voted ED STEWART out of office, not once but TWICE. 4 CITIZENS applyed for the seat, and DAN CINDRIC appointed ED STEWART to the seat. This was AGAINST the votes of the 3rd WARD voters. Not only did this ASS appoint STEWART, but he appointed him to several different jobs on council PRIOR to being sworn in. Something is fishy in CRAFTON AGAIN...
#2 Mar 21, 2010
Welcome to the dirty tricks of Council Pres Cindric old timer! If you dig a little, you will see that the 4 people that applied for the job each got votes in the Nov election for the 3rd ward. Eddy Stewart did not even run in Nov. Thats just one more way that Cindric trys to control everything on council, and get his way. He has been dirty for years.
#3 Mar 22, 2010
So REMS is coming back to town. How much was the pay off that Dan Cindric got? Dan is filling his pockets again it seems. Ya we know about the 1st time DANO. It seems that 9 people at the towers said that North West was much faster, but someone that is on council went around with the ex mayor Susan and told them to show up or else. Gee does the management company that owns the towers know what their employee is doing? What do you think THOMAS PHILLIPS? Smoking a little to much pot again? Lets find out? THANK YOU TAYLOR GRAPES FOR NOT LISTENING TO YOUR NEIGHBOR CINDRIC. Just watch it he will get even for this. Watch your back TAYLOR.
#4 Mar 22, 2010
Yes I live at the Crafton Towers. And yes Tom Phillips trys to bully us around. He has been doing this way too long. We maybe old, but we are not died. Bring back northwest service, they where very respectful and nice to all of us.
#5 Mar 22, 2010
i also reside at the Crafton Towers. And I was present when Thomas was asking all of us to come to the council meeting and support Robinson Ambulance service. I for one said no. Northwest was so kind, and helpfull. Thomas trys to push us all around. Don't leave your room unlocked, as he will come in.
#6 Mar 22, 2010
Has anyone talked to the 3rd ward voters? They are and should be mad as hell. As I remember, Ed Stewart was thrown out of office for several reasons. 1. He can not stay awake. 2. His health is very poor. 3. His mouth has run off course to maney times. Remember what he said about truck drivers, the fact he says there is no drugs in Crafton. How he has prected Bud Rost for years. We the people voted him out. And big shot Dan Cindric gives him a seat. Thats just wrong. Recall Cindric....
#7 Mar 22, 2010
I live in the 3rd ward. I am really upset and disappointed in the Crafton Council President Cindric for appointing Ed Stewart to the 3rd ward council seat. After all these years, we thought we where free from him. Now it's time we get together and get Cindric out. He has cost us way to much money. Remember the Duncan property. We all do Danny.
#8 Mar 23, 2010
Yes why has Cindric hidden the Ducan property problems. How many years has it been? We the tax payers are paying for all the legal bull for way to many years. I agree with the other people that say the council President Cindric has RIGGED the votes to add Edward Stewart to the new council. SHAME ON YOU DANIAL CINDRIC, your NO GOOD!
#9 Mar 23, 2010
The postings are accurate regarding the 3rd Ward appointment of Ed Steward. The voters have not voted for him to hold our seat for years now, he has even been defeated for the Mayor position for yaers now. He can't even remember when the meetings are being held, he is late for an early quit. A big waste of space, trying to keep Crafton a so called "Bedroom Community" I don't know about anyone else but just that reference is offensive to me. We need someone who can think progresivly not in the Dark Ages!!
Now that Tom Phillips is on council we may as well have given up that seat. Did you notice that he did not speak for the 3rd Ward at the vote for EMS Services. He bullied the seniors into comming to the meeting and even had them disrupt the meeting. I don't know if they it but they could have been thrown out of the meeting. We all know that was staged by Dan Cindric and delivered by Tom Phillips (The Bullier) I'm glad he didn't bullie my parents or he would be answering to me. Lucky they don't live at the Plaza 2nd Ward, not even his area. Boy is Crafton screwed up. I wonder if the Company (Arbor) knows these things written above about Thomas Phillips and what he is doing to the elderly people at the Crafton Towers.

I totally agree with all of the people that have written in the blog. Crafton needs better. Cindric is full of hiself, and Stewart may have been good years ago, but it's time to RETIRE Ed Stewart. As far as this new jerk Thomas Phillips, he is just a face and MOUTH for Cindrics views. Please pray for Crafton. We have had the worst Poice Chief for years (thank you for having him retire Mayor Bloom) Lets work on these other 3 jerks
#11 Mar 23, 2010
Thank you Mayor Bloom for helping the citizens of Crafton again. You ran on a forum to help us, and you have kept your word. As a office and then a Captain with the CPD, and a fireman with CVFD you have always been there for your boro. Mr Mayor we know your doing your best and we all thank you. Just a Grandmother of 5 at the Crafton Towers.
#12 Mar 24, 2010
Yes I must say that several of my friends are very upset over Mr Stewart being appointed by Mr Cindric to the council. They are all against this man, and here Mr Cindric, that should be looking out for us appoints him. Thats almost stinks as much as the pay offs he is getting from Robinson Ambulance Service. The Lord will get even with you Mr Cindric at the end.

If this is an actual tenant, "Crafton Granny", of ours, why doesn't she know to whom she makes out her rent checks monthly? If she lives at Crafton "Towers", why is she talking about a maintenance person she wouldn't even know? Poor "Granny" doesn't know where she lives. All of the residents at Crafton "Plaza" know where they live and make their own minds up about things. Obviously "Granny" is being prompted by someone who just isn't that smart.
#14 Mar 24, 2010
Mr. Phillips is MY employee and he is not permitted to do any of the things you, ANONYMOUS, are suggesting on my watch. You need to STOP scaring my tenants. We know you are not truthful because you are telling readers that Mr. Phillips works at the "Towers"; or is it that you just can't get your facts correct?
#15 Mar 24, 2010
WHOOPS!! You, OH CHAMPION OF MIS-TRUTHS!, have done it again. If this person lives at Crafton Towers, what on earth were they doing at Crafton Plaza when Mr. Phillips was "bullying" the tenants? I guess these folks just don't know where they live. GOOD GRIEF, get your lies straight!
#16 Mar 24, 2010
Give us all a break. 1st what are you doing sending msg out when your at work honey. We have a lot of problems here, YOU and Phillips are the MAJOR ones. Does the management group know that your typing these during WORKING HOURS? Maybe you should get with it, and take down the MERRY CHRISTMAS sign out front. You are just mad that Susan LOST. Now get back to work. The PLAZA is falling apart.
#17 Mar 24, 2010
The last four or five post are funny. Phillips works at the Crafton Plaze, not the Crafton Towers. Come on all you old section 8 people, get it right before you post something. Tish will even agree on this one. I thought this was all about the Crafton Council, not some run down old folks apartments?
#18 Mar 24, 2010
#19 Mar 24, 2010
I for one could careless about the Towers or Plaza. They both are not very nice place from what my friends say that live there My concern is the northwest is being replaced my Robinson Ambulance. Northwest is very nice to all of us that have used them. Robinson does not have a ambulance here 24/7. Mr Cindric, Mr Phillips, and M's Viloa and the ex mayors husband voted WRONG. We the people wanted Robinson out and Northwest to stay. I for one will not give money to Robinson.
#20 Mar 25, 2010
Now I hear that the infamous Police Chief Rosts is going to retire. Gee who will sue Crafton now when they do not get there way? And I agree with alot that the bully at the Plaza is not good for the older folks living there. The stories are something else.

Liberty Takes Home Opener, 6-3
|Andy Smith is greeted at home plate by teammate Zack Haley after hitting his first home run of the year.
Outfielder Andy Smith gave Liberty the lead with a two-run home run in the third inning and made a catch against wall to take away extra bases in the ninth inning, powering the Flames past the Radford Highlanders, 6-3, in their home opener at Worthington Stadium, Wednesday.
Smith went 3-for-4 during the contest, driving in two runs with his first home run of the season and scoring two runs. The center fielder, who has at least one hit in each of Flames' first five games, also made the defensive play of the contest. He made a running catch against the wall to take extra bases away with two Highlanders aboard in the ninth inning.
With the win, Liberty remains unbeaten, moving to 5-0 on the year and 5-0 in home openers under head coach Jim Toman. The Flames have won 13 straight home openers, dropping their last home schedule opening contest at Worthington Stadium in 1998. The contest was the first nonconference game between Liberty and Radford since April 28, 1991. Radford falls to 1-3 on the year.
For the first time this season, the Flames did not score the first runs of the game. The visiting Highlanders plated two runs in the top of the third inning to grab an early advantage. With runners on second and third base and one out, first baseman Ryan Burgess grounded out, scoring left fielder Matt Hillsinger for the contest's first run. Third baseman Matt Mack followed with a bunt single to score shortstop Jeff Kemp, who had doubled earlier in the frame, for a 2-0 lead.
Liberty answered in the bottom of the inning, with three runs of its own. Catcher Trey Wimmer opened the frame with a single and two batters later, scored all the way from first base on a double into the left field corner by shortstop Zack Haley. After Haley moved to third base on a sacrifice bunt by left fielder Ian Parmley, Smith ripped the first pitch he saw over the right field wall, putting the Flames in front, 3-2.
During the fourth inning, Liberty extended its lead. With one out, Wimmer lifted a sacrifice fly to left field, upping the Flames' advantage to 4-2, scoring Tyler Cox, who led of the frame when he was struck by a pitch.
The Highlanders cut the Liberty advantage in the sixth inning. Second baseman Josh Gardner doubled to center field and was thrown out trying to stretch the liner into a triple, but not before catcher Daniel Wright scored, trimming the host team's edge to 4-3.
Liberty added two insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. With one out, Smith singled and moved to third on a hit-and-run single by right fielder Michael Robertson. After the Robertson stole second, Smith scored as Wright's throwing attempt to second to try to get the Flames' right fielder sailed into center field. Robertson then made it, 6-3, Liberty, coming home on a wild pitch.
In the top of the ninth inning, center fielder Zach Costello and Hillsinger both reached on back-to-back singles. Kemp followed by lifting a liner towards the wall in right-center field. However, Smith took away extra bases and recorded the second out of the inning with a running catch, smashing against the wall and squelching the Radford rally.
Liberty used five pitchers in the contest, who allowed a combined 10 hits. Starter Kody Young collects his first win in a Flames uniform, running his record to 1-0 on the year. The transfer allowed two runs on four hits during the first three innings. He struck out one and walked one. Tim Dudley, the fifth pitcher of the game for the Flames, earns the first collegiate save. The left-hander pitched 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief to close out the contest.
Lynchburg native Jeff Maxwell takes the loss for Radford. The first of four Highlander pitchers on the afternoon, Maxwell gave up four runs on five hits over four innings. Radford pitchers gave up eight hits in the contest.
Hillsinger had three hits in the game to lead the Highlanders.
Liberty will host the Siena Saints in a four-game series this weekend. First pitch for Friday's series opener is scheduled for 3 p.m.

The Wayne County Board of Elections apparently has moved the page (the link is to their site, not ours). I don't see it linked anywhere else on their site right now (it's not listed under "Past Elections" where I expect they will put it eventually). Once they have put the page somewhere that we can find it, we will relink to it.
Why does the 2012 General Election results show as "Error 404 Not Found?" Apparently your new site design leaves something to be desired...after all, it is your link at the top of this page that I'm trying to use. ( http://votewayne.org/election-results/ )

It's been fun to see the broader market finally begin to see the real value in some of these "boring" old tech names. Countless investors continue to protest that since these stocks have been "dead money" for years (really, they were just growing into the extreme valuations that they once had), but as these firms vigorously protect their traditional markets while expanding into new markets, short sellers in these stocks banking on "the death of the PC" or some other such nonsense perpetuated by the marketing department(s) of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and ARM Holdings (NASDAQ:ARMH) will probably be sorely disappointed. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has awakened and quite frankly, the shorts are likely in for a lot more pain.
Sure, Microsoft Has Messed Up - Who Hasn't?
It was pretty clear that Microsoft was hastily reacting to the Apple iOS and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android incursions. As a result, they released the utterly pointless Windows RT (although I do see it as a hedge/incentive for Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) to take the tablet chip space seriously), and tried to force the "Metro" UI on traditional PC/notebook users.
I fundamentally believe Microsoft has the right idea that the line between traditional notebooks and tablets will blur rather quickly to the point that they will be interchangeable, but the execution and method by which Microsoft attempted to facilitate the transition left much to be desired. Windows 8 is mostly Windows 7 but with a touch-enabled Start screen, but the UI even in desktop mode just removed a number of key familiar elements such as a "start button" and a "boot-to-desktop" capability that just made the transition jarring for most mainstream users.
People don't like change. The trick is to add to the goodness that exists but at the same time offer more features. This is why Windows RT will never succeed in anything outside of a 7" tablet, and even then vendors are likely to try to sell the full Windows 8 experience that can be had in your pocket, rendering Windows RT ultimately useless. People like the notion of the traditional desktop and they like their legacy/native applications. If Windows "Blue" can give the user the best of both worlds in a seamless fashion, then it has the chance to be a hit of epic proportions.
The Street Believes That The Woes Are Temporary
After the guy probably responsible for some of these terrible decisions (Steve Sinofsky) left, it seems that Microsoft has been somewhat humbled and is now making rational decisions. The recent rise in the stock price (and the squeezing of the short sellers who thought that it was "in the bag") reflects the Street's optimism that with Windows Blue, coupled with new hardware from Intel (that seems to kill any argument in favor of using ARM-based chips in stripped-down Windows), should help to reinvigorate Windows-based computing device sales in the consumer space as well as in the business space.
My bet all along was that the Street would eventually believe the story here, and it seems to be panning out. Intel, Microsoft, and even AMD have been rallying hard in anticipation of the new iteration of Windows, and quite frankly, it's hard not to share in that optimism.
Shorting Microsoft is a terrible idea in this environment. Not only is the dividend yield infinitely better than most treasury bonds which means that the dividend-growth hounds will be on this stock like white on rice, but the company has been consistently growing its top and bottom lines year after year, and it looks to me that going forward this isn't going to change.
When Microsoft dips, or when/if the broad market corrects, consider getting on board the Microsoft train before it's too late. And if you're short? Use any such opportunity to cover your position - you will probably lose your shirt if you don't.

Blog in the Spotlight: 5 beauty mistakes and how to avoid them
Redcliffe Style talks us through 5 common beauty mistakes and what to do to avoid them. Beauty mistakes are easy to make but easily solved.
If you like your beauty and style advice accesorised with a belly-laugh, then Redcliffe Style is for you. Witty, charming and always real, Rachel is one of the Top 25 Style and Beauty bloggers for Voices of 2013.
There are a few beauty mistakes that drive me nuts and I am probably guilty of them all. I try to avoid committing these terrible crimes but sometimes, accidents happen.
Here is a list of crimes and tips on how to minimise the damage.
1. Lipstick on the teeth
This always happens when I apply red lipstick and because of this I know to check the mirror after application. If you are still concerned then go for a lighter lipstick colour or gloss because it won't be so obvious when smeared across your pearly whites.
2. Over plucked eyebrows
I know it used to be fashionable to have thin or over-shaped brows. Many, many years have passed since then. Why is there a new breed of over-plucked or mis-shaped brows? I don't trust myself, so I like to place my brows in the hands of a professional. This is a necessary expense. It's also a good idea to invest in a eyebrow pencil or shadow to fill them in. Ask the professional to demonstrate the most natural technique.
3. The dreaded foundation line
It is worse when the face is orange and the neck is white, but a line is still a line. Blend, blend, blend. Your skin changes colour throughout the year so your summer foundation shouldn't be the same as your winter one. Have your foundation matched regularly.
4. Clumpy mascara
Replace your mascara often. When mascara gets old, it gets thicker and more likely to clump. After applying the mascara, brush through with a clean mascara wand to separate the lashes. If you don't have a mascara wand, use your husband's toothbrush, but clean it before you put it back. The black marks will give it away.
5. Dark lip liner
Lip liner should never be obvious. I use it when I wear my red lipstick because I need all the help I can get to keep my lipstick where it should be. To avoid the obvious line, I outline my lips and then colour them in with the lip liner before applying lipstick. When I use a lighter lipstick or gloss I just avoid it all together.
If you see me out and about with unblended concealer, a foundation line or lipstick on my teeth, it's obviously just another day in my imperfect world. I would much prefer you to tell me than to worry it might embarrass me.
What are your biggest makeup mistakes?
Or even better, dob in a friend…
I am a 40 year-old married mum of two girls. After working as a paralegal in Brisbane for 14 years, I left life in the big city to focus on my family. Once the kids were both in school, it was time get back to work and seriously, why would I choose to go back into law? In a four-person house with five computers, three iPads, two iPhones, two iPod touches and half a dozen cameras there seemed only one direction to go. I started Redcliffe Style, a light-hearted blog about style, beauty, blogging and lifestyle. I hope people walk away feeling good after visiting.

I was under the impression that "Ottile" was German for Athalie which is

The Web site plans daily court dispatches from Henry Blodget, the Internet-craze star stock analyst whose career collapsed when gaps emerged between his strong public recommendations and his actual negative views of the stocks.
His presence as a member of the working press gives a Drudge-era twist to a trial that has already brought together the enormous celebrity of Stewart and the full-steam parade of white-collar criminal prosecutions.
But will readers hungry for news on the case against the domestic-style guru put their trust in a reporter who only a year ago was widely known for his own run-in with the government?
The key, say both Slate editors and media analysts, is a 1,000-plus-word "full disclosure" statement that appears with Blodget's accounts.
In it, Blodget lays out the details of his legal troubles — even providing links to government court papers filed against him — and adds that he has met Stewart twice and holds a generally positive attitude about her.
"I should add that I find Martha Stewart not only charming but physically attractive," he wrote. "Studies have shown that human beings tend to be favorably disposed toward people they find charming and attractive."
Blodget, 37 and a former freelance journalist, was a darling of Wall Street during the Internet stock boom, once famously predicting — accurately, as it turned out — that Amazon.com would rise to $400 per share.
But federal regulators accused him of publicly backing companies for which Merrill Lynch did investment banking — even while expressing poor opinions of those stocks to colleagues and some Merrill clients.
On one stock, Goto.com, Blodget told a colleague in 2001 there was "no reason to own it" but pumped it up publicly as a "survivor" that was "growing quickly" in the weak market for online stocks, according to regulators.
Blodget paid $4 million in a settlement with federal regulators last April. He neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing, but agreed to permanently leave the securities industry.
"For me personally it's been a brutal couple of years," Blodget told CNBC on Monday. "I think a lot of it puts me in a position now ... to add some value to the commentary and perhaps talk about it in an interesting light."
Blodget has declined interviews with other media outlets, including The Associated Press.
Geneva Overholser, a former editor of The Des Moines Register and ombudsman for The Washington Post who now is a University of Missouri journalism professor, said Blodget's disclosure is critical to building credibility with readers.
"I think he's already crossed the biggest hurdle," she said. "The reader's armed with the information he needs to consume this. This could be kind of interesting."
She added: "If I were the editor of The Des Moines Register and this guy wanted to cover the Martha Stewart trial for me, I would not be comfortable. But as a Slate reader, I would read this with some interest, and I know where he's coming from."
Blodget also discloses that he once worked at Merrill Lynch & Co., the firm that employed Stewart's co-defendant, stockbroker Peter Bacanovic, when she sold her shares in the biotechnology company ImClone Systems Inc. in 2001.
Stewart is due in court Tuesday to face charges she lied to investigators about her sale of the stock. Conviction on any of five counts against her could send her to prison.
The government says Stewart was tipped that ImClone founder Sam Waksal was trying to sell his own shares, but Stewart claims the sale was triggered by a pre-existing agreement she had with Bacanovic.
So far, Blodget's reports have ranged from an exhaustively detailed review of the evidence against the style maven to accounts of gossip about the trial among members of the traditional press.
Writing for a Web site gives Blodget the chance to explore the Stewart case at much greater length than mainstream media, Slate editor Jacob Weisberg said in an interview.
"My main opinion is that he's been the leader of the pack," he said. "And he's not even really part of the pack."
When prosecutors altered the Stewart indictment Jan. 6, most accounts called the changes "cosmetic." But Blodget listed the changes in painstaking detail and concluded that some of them weakened the government's case.
Asked what Slate is paying Blodget, Weisberg would say only that the online magazine is "parsimonious" and that "he's certainly not doing it for the money, I'll tell you that."
The editor said any concerns he had about hiring Blodget were erased after he talked to the former analyst. Weisberg said he believed Blodget "got kind of a bum rap" in the stock-analysis probe.
"The issue for me was how good a job he was going to do as a journalist," Weisberg said.
Blodget told CNBC that he found the indictment of Stewart "sexy." "It was like being in CSI," he said referring to the CBS-TV sleuth drama. But he said prosecutors have a tough road ahead.
"A reasonable jury may well conclude that some of the statements here, some of the charges, are not really deserving of the punishments that go with the crimes," he said.

MEETING MINUTES December 19, 2006
The meeting was called to order at 7:10 pm at the West Fort Collins Water District, LaPorte.
Members Present: Tim O'Hara, Susanne Cordery-Cotter, Nancy Grice, Mandy Kotzman, Paul Resseguie, Cordelia Stone, Will Wade
Staff Present: Rob Helmick and Karin Madson - Planning Dept.
Guests Present: Jim Quinlan, Jeff Hosea, Cherry Sokoloski, M. Goldstein, Nate Polutech, R. Suazo, John Turk.
The meeting agenda was adopted
The meeting minutes from September 19, 2006 were adopted.
Communication Items:
Personal Appearances:
Agenda Items:
1. Jax Thunderdome Special Review
Rob Helmick gave a summary presentation of the Jax Thunderdome proposal. See packet provided to LAPAC members. Salient items include: anticipated 30 trips per day, other buildings on site may be a future plan amendment, the current "O" open zoning allows a shooting range; per the County a paintball facility is a shooting range.
The use (paintball shooting range) is consistent with the zoning but inconsistent with the LaPorte Area Plan, however the previous use (cement plant) was also inconsistent with the LaPorte Area Plan. This Special Review, if approved, stays with the site for the future. Discussion ensued:
Question regarding "horse stables" in earlier materials - horse stables are no longer part of this proposal. Buildings indicated on application will be used. Other buildings at this site may have other future use - two buildings were constructed in the early 1900's, may have historic value.
Discussion regarding zoning - current zoning is Open, future zoning for "commercial" would require amending the LaPorte Area Plan.
Issue of "shooting range" definition: members asked whether approving Special Review with the term "Shooting Range" would allow future outdoor shooting range of firearms at this site. Applicant indicated that is not his intent.
Issue of noise: applicant assured all present that music from inside facility will not be heard from public roads. Applicant agreed to provide a noise "hotline" phone number posted on the gate in case of noise complaints. Hours of operations will be daylight hours, most likely 8 to 4 in the winter.
Issue of traffic: Traffic has been addressed by the applicant, no road improvements required, per planning department. Taft Hill would likely be used, likely more traffic on 56 to Taft Hill.
Issue of off-site vandalism using paintballs: Applicant indicated all paintball shooting on site will be indoors, and paint balls purchased on-site cannot be taken off-site, they are to be stored for user's next visit.
Following discussion, LAPAC members concluded the application is in general conformance with the LaPorte Area Plan because plan indicates residential or no zone change. This application represents the latter. LAPAC members approved the application, however requested the following three conditions:
1. "Shooting Range" will be clearly defined as limited to indoor paintball
2. This decision has no bearing on future uses of the property
3. There should be an additional process to respond to noise complaints
See December 19, 2006 Memorandum documenting LAPAC's findings.
2. Rural Land Use Process Presentation
Mr. Jim Reidhead, director of the Rural Land Use Center gave a presentation on the Rural Land Use Process (RLUP). The program is a development process that provides an alternative to the 35-acre splits subdivision requirement.
Benefits of the RLUP include:
· Siting of houses in dispersed or clustered patterns
· Incentives
· Preservation of land
· Potential for non-contiguous development
The RLUP is often used for estate planning. It is beneficial for preserving land, creating open space, maintaining agricultural production. Usually results in fewer and more expensive houses than subdivision process. The RLUP 10-year budget is $1.5 million.

Bald eagles on threshold of new status
Bald eagles soon may come off the list of threatened species in Pennsylvania.
Thirty years ago, there were only three nesting pairs of bald eagles in the state, all in Crawford County. This year there are 266, with the count growing. That's up from 237 last year.
At least three of those nests are located near Pittsburgh as the birds have continued their move into the southwestern corner of the state.
"Bald eagles are teaching us what bald eagle habitat looks like, and it's way more than we thought we had 30 years ago," said Doug Gross, supervisor of the Pennsylvania Game Commission's endangered and nongame bird section.
The result is leading biologists to recommend eagles be upgraded from threatened to protected when the commission holds its next meeting in September in Delmont.
The state's eagle management plan long has called for removing the eagle from the threatened list if several criteria were met.
One measure was that eagles establish at least 150 active nests for five consecutive years. That's occurred every year since 2008, Gross said. Another was that eagles successfully nest in at least 40 counties for five years running. That's been the case since 2009, he said. A third was that at least 60 percent of nests successfully produce young; the average has been closer to 75 percent.
The plan also outlines one other measure: that eagle nests produce at least 1.2 young, on average. Whether that's occurring is difficult to say, Gross noted, as eagle nests often are hard to see.
But every indication is that eagles are doing well, he said.
"This has been a spectacular success," Gross said.
"Those of us who have been around a long time have too often seen species added to the (threatened) list, but we rarely get to take one off," said Cal DuBrock, director of the commission's bureau of wildlife management. "So it's nice to see recovery occur."
The commission will continue looking for and counting eagle nests and monitoring their success through at least 2017. It will also continue looking for ways to engage the public as eagle watchers and volunteers, Gross said.
All the while, eagles could yet expand in reach and density across the state, executive director Carl Roe said.
"Pennsylvania has plenty of good bald-eagle habitat that's not currently being used by eagles. And as the years roll on, I'm sure eagles will give us plenty more to celebrate," Roe said.

The Canon PowerShot G1X comes in at the top of Canon's range of professional-level compact digital cameras, offering a dSLR-sized image sensor, ISO speeds up to 12,800 and full manual control packed inside a compact body.
Where most camera companies have blurred the line between compact and dSLR by making interchangeable lens compacts (such as Micro Four Thirds cameras), Canon's latest addition to its G-series cameras keeps the lens in place but offers features aimed squarely at the more serious photographer.
Canon has equipped this new beast with an APS-C sized CMOS sensor, which is only marginally smaller than some of the sensors used in its EOS range of cameras, and a whole heap bigger than sensors found in most compact digitals. This extra size allows for more light to be captured in a single scene, resulting in lower noise in low-light images and a more even exposure in brightly lit scenes.
Image processing is done by Canon's latest DIGIC 5 processor that allows images to be shot at ISO speeds up to 12,800 while keeping image noise to a minimum. How those images look at those ISO levels remains to be seen -- typically, the higher the number, the more image detail is lost, but the large sensor size should do a good job at reducing that.
The body may be on the chunkier side of 'compact', but it's considerably smaller than most dSLRs and it's made from stainless steel, so there's no need to worry about chucking it into your kit bag among your flashguns and filters. Although at 534g, you might want a bag with a decent shoulder strap.
The lens offers a 4x optical zoom and provides a maximum aperture of f/2.8 as well as optical image stabilisation and a 3-stop neutral density filter, which allows you to darken a scene to achieve more creative control without overexposing your image.
To keep the pro shooter happy, the G1X offers full manual control over all its features, but also packs in various scene modes, including an automatic HDR function. To help get that awkward shot, the 3-inch LCD display swivels out so you can get a good view if you're shooting low-level macros, or crowd shots above your head.
The Canon PowerShot G1X may not be as pocket-friendly as most compact digital cameras, but it packs in the sort of features we'd expect to see on most dSLRS. We're extremely excited to get a full hands-on when it lands in February -- although less keen about that £700 price tag.

"The Mountaintop" must be seen.
Arizona Theatre Company's production of the Katori Hall play, which won raves and awards in London and faltered when it moved to Broadway, opened Friday.
Like its subject, Martin Luther King Jr., it is not perfect, but it is powerful.
Lou Bellamy directed this riveting, often humorous, piece with passion and precision. "The Mountaintop" is a co-production with St. Paul, Minnesota's Penumbra Theatre Company, which Bellamy founded.
The playwright has imagined what King's last night on Earth was like. The scene is Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, a remarkably dull room with orange bedspreads and matching curtains. Outside the window, we see the neon sign of the motel (kudos to scene designer Vicki Smith for bringing us there).
King is alone, having sent his associate out for cigarettes. In the first few moments of the play, we see this person we know as a blazing orator and determined civil rights worker as just a man. He pees, his feet stink, his socks have holes in them, and he is deathly afraid of the thunder that crackles through the night. (Sound designer Martin Gwinup creates thunder that is menacing, loud and convincing.)
King orders coffee, and when the maid delivers it, he becomes a smooth talker, a flirt, a man with humor and insecurities.
The maid, Camae, has more than coffee in mind when she enters his room. She questions him, curses, tells him that meeting hate with peaceful marches just isn't cutting it, offers him comfort and challenges him.
James T. Alfred and Erika LaVonn take on the roles of King and Camae with a feverish commitment. Alfred has captured King's cadence and spellbinding oratorical skills. But he has also shaped a character with painfully raw emotions.
LaVonn's Camae is gorgeous, sassy and has her own knack for powerful oratory.
The two move this play, and the audience.
A little more than halfway through the 90-minute production, magical realism steps in and takes the audience in a whole, unexpected direction.
It's one of the flaws of the play — it feels more like a device than an organic turn in the story. It tries too hard. The same is true for a powerful photo montage toward the end. And while the script has some brilliance in it, it's also self-consciously clever at times.
But here's the thing — it soars more often than not. It revisits King's hopes, and his despairs — those warrant remembering, examining and reflecting on.
It's impossible to walk out of this one act without being deeply moved. And deeply disturbed — not just because a great man died, but that the promised land mentioned in the famous speech the night before his death is still a hard, hard climb for so many.
