Orioles sweep doubleheader against Pirates
BALTIMORE — Scuffling for the past three weeks, the Pirates have tried practically everything to spark their offense.
"We've had an altercation on the field," manager Clint Hurdle said. "We've had extra-inning games, walk-off wins, adversity when a starter leaves in the third inning. We've gone through those things and still haven't gotten major traction."
They're still searching.
On Thursday, after being rained out the previous two days, the Pirates dropped both ends of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles.
The Orioles won the opener 5-1, and the weather again was the culprit. A brief rain delay knocked right-hander Charlie Morton off his game, and the Orioles scored three runs in the fifth inning.
In the second game, Matt Wieters hit a solo homer in the 10th inning to rally the Orioles to a 6-5 victory. The Pirates blew leads of 4-0 and 5-4.
Wieters hit a one-ball pitch from Stolmy Pimentel over the right field wall.
"A fastball, high in the zone," Pimentel said. "He just went up and got it."
Losers of 15 of their past 19, the Pirates went 6 for 30 with runners in scoring position in the doubleheader.
"We've got a weird little thing going on right now," first baseman Ike Davis said. "Hopefully, we can snap out of it soon. As long as we keep giving ourselves opportunities, we'll score some runs."
In the first inning of Game 1, Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman threw 49 pitches. Ike Davis doubled (snapping an 0-for-21 slide), and Pedro Alvarez singled in the inning. But the damage was done by three walks.
With the bases loaded and one out, Gaby Sanchez battled Tillman for 13 pitches. The at-bat ended with an infield popup, but it took a toll on Tillman's stamina.
Neil Walker laid off a tempting changeup and drew a full-count walk. Davis scored. Starling Marte walked on four pitches. That scored Andrew McCutchen, who also had walked.
Sanchez banged a triple off the right field wall to score McCutchen in the fifth.
In the sixth, an 87 mph slider from Evan Meek glanced off the back of Clint Barmes' batting helmet. Barmes got to his feet and calmly went to first base. He scored on Davis' soft single.
Starter Brandon Cumpton blanked the Orioles for five innings. In the sixth, with two outs and a runner at second, right fielder Travis Snider tried to make a diving catch of Adam Jones' fly ball. The ball popped out of Snider's glove, and Jones got a run-scoring double. Cumpton then yielded Wieters' RBI single and Steve Pearce's double.
"I got behind a couple of guys, and they made me pay," Cumpton said. "I left a slider up to Jones. Travis did everything in his will to make that play."
Reliever Bryan Morris gave up J.J. Hardy's game-tying, two-run single.
Marte's single put the Pirates up 5-4 in the seventh. Nick Markakis countered with a solo homer off Morris in the bottom of the inning.
After waiting three days to play the first game of the doubleheader, the Pirates were done in by a 21-minute rain delay.
Jose Tabata started the third inning with a triple to center.. Alvarez bounced a two-out single up the middle to score Tabata.
Morton (0-4) looked sharp over the first four innings. That changed after the rain delay before the start of the fifth inning with the Pirates leading 1-0.
"He lost his rhythm and his angle," Hurdle said. "It was hard for him to get a ball down. I don't want to put my finger on the rain delay, but it was really two different pitchers."
The first five Orioles batters reached base in the fifth, and they scored three runs to take control.

Bullets and cannon-shot have torn thee with wounds, but never upon thee has the audacious stranger placed his hand.
The bells had hardly done chiming when a cannon-shot was heard.
Before they were off the beach the dull report of a cannon-shot was heard.
Some cannon-shot were fired by the fort as a farewell salute, and we glided rapidly down the beautiful stream of the Missouri.
The two frontier towns are less than a cannon-shot distant, and yet their people hold no communion.
One edifice was riddled through and through with cannon-shot.
Turning on his heel, he strode out of the house and shut the door after him with cannon-shot violence.
The fields by the river, below the redoubt, were deluged with cannon-shot.
I have been too near it, and too closely touched by it, ever to wish again to hear a cannon-shot or see a sword.
Presently I stopped short, for I thought I heard the cannon-shot signal.

Mississippi Spring Turkey Season Continues Until May 1
Mississippi turkey hunters still have time remaining in the 2012 spring season, which closes on May 1, 2012. Hunters throughout most regions of the Magnolia State are reporting great success during the 2012 turkey season. A good statewide hatch in 2010 resulted in an increase in the great number of 2-year old gobblers hunters have encountered this spring. "Two-year old gobblers are usually the most vocal and tend to be more susceptible to harvest" says MDWFP Wild Turkey Program Leader Adam Butler. In addition to increased number of birds, generally favorable weather conditions have also helped make the 2012 season one to remember.
The MDWFP offers turkey hunting opportunities on more than 40 Wildlife Management Areas throughout the state, and many of these areas have recorded high harvest so far this spring. "We encourage all hunters to come out and take advantage of the late season turkey hunting opportunities on our Wildlife Management Areas" noted Butler.

Does Your Brochure Pass the Test - Part 2
Brett Curry
In part one of this article we discussed the importance of the look or appearance of your brochure.
The look or image that your brochure conveys is vastly important. In fact, the appearance will determine how most people form their initial impression of your company. But, the message on your brochure is just as important. Ultimately you need to say something of value in your brochure if you want it to move people closer to the sale. Here are a few tips to keep in mind to ensure that your brochure has the right message.
1. Speak in Terms of Your Prospects Interests. There's an old saying that all people are tuned in to the same radio station – WIIFM, which means "What's In It For Me" That is the question that all people will be asking on a conscious or subconscious level as they read your brochure. Only talk in terms of your prospects wants and interests.
2. Focus on Benefits, not Just Features. Features are the technical aspects of your product – i.e. power sunroof. Benefits are the enjoyment or satisfaction your customer will get from that feature. Remember that people buy the benefit that your product will bring them not the features. For example people don't want to buy a treadmill; they just want to loose weight and look great. They don't want to buy a washing machine; they want clean clothes with no effort and so on. Don't stop at features; make sure you mention all of the benefits that you offer.
3. Brand Your Logo and USP. This falls under image and message. Make sure you put your logo and your USP Unique Selling Proposition together. You want to reinforce the fact that your company is different and better than the competition.
4. Have Some Kind of Offer. To get the most out of your brochure have some kind of offer. Offer a discount, a free report, a sample, a free trial, or whatever makes sense for your business. Having some kind of offer will increase the chances that your brochure will generate sales.
Following these 4 tips will greatly increase the likelihood that your brochure will be noticed, and read, and, hopefully it will aid in making a sale. If you don't follow these 4 tips, then you brochure is probably headed for the trash.

|In the Cheap Seats
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
June 30, 2005 - Here's hoping Kenny Rogers gets that contract extension he's wanting from the Texas Rangers.
He's going to need the money once all the civil suits are done.
Rogers likes the millions ($3 million this year) he makes by being a major league pitcher, but he doesn't like the media. The problem is - without the TV cameras, there is no $3 million.
Make no mistake, the only reason any professional athlete makes millions is because of the billions paid by television for broadcasting rights. The only way Rogers can avoid the cameras is to quit playing baseball - and making millions of dollars.
It seems like the Rangers and Cowboys have fallen into the same predicament - thinking that magic happens twice by happenstance.
The Cowboys exceeded everyone's expectations in 2003 by going 10-6 and making the playoffs. Owner Jerry Jones and head coach Bill Parcells then did very little in filling obvious holes in the 2004 offseason.
The result was a frustrating, under-achieving team last season in which the holes (i.e., quarterback, secondary, defensive end, offensive line) became even more noticeable.
The Rangers took the same tactic after surprising everyone with an 89-win season last summer.
Instead of shoring up the starting pitching, finding a proven designated hitter, signing a power-hitting outfielder and getting bullpen help, owner Tom Hicks and GM John Hart signed a few also-rans and never-will-be's and thought things would take care of themselves.
It doesn't work that way, which is obvious to those of use who aren't in the business.
With Mark Cuban as owner, the Mavericks have never taken the "we're OK the way we are" approach.
The team has just about turned itself over completely in the last three years. If Michael Finley is released to save luxury tax expense and salary cap room, and Shawn Bradley retires to save further embarrassment, then Dirk Nowitzki will be the only remaining player from the Mavericks' run to the Western Conference Finals in 2003.
If Finley is released, he'll be a perfect fit to come off the bench for the Phoenix Suns, who play the run-and-shoot-threes style that fits Finley so well. They won't ask him to play defense, rebound or handle the ball, just run and spot up, which is what he does best.
The opinion around the country is that the Rangers are a top-notch offensive ball club, which is partly because they lead the league in home runs and are fourth in runs scored.
But, look at what they don't do well - move runners around the bases.
They Rangers are last among the 30 MLB teams in sacrifice bunts with two. That's right, two. And that's with a manager who used to be in the National League.
For a team that hits the long ball so well, it seems like the Rangers should be at the top of the list for sacrifice flies. But, they are last in that category also with just 11.
How about bases on balls? 21st. On-base percentage? 18th. Strikeouts? Fourth.
If the Rangers are to make a push for a playoff berth over the second half of the season, they will have to do more than hit home runs.

Is ADHD/ADD a mental health/psychiatric illness? Is there any relation or link to depression, PTSD or other mental illness or abuse? (i.e. emotional physical abuse)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (formerly Attention Deficit Disorder) is a mental disorder listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The disorder is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. In order to be diagnosed with the disorder, one must have symptoms prior to the age of 7 years. Untreated ADHD in childhood can be considered a risk factor for other psychiatric disorders in adulthood.
Which mental illness in not polygenic?
Huntington's Chorea, which is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder characterized by a progressive loss of muscular control, cognitive decline and dementia. Other single gene disorders can manifest along with neuropsychiatric symptoms, but are not necessarily strictly classified as mental disorders, such as the porphyrias.
Is there medication that is helpful for narcissism? What treatment is helpful? How affective is it?
Narcissistic personality disorder is considered a severe personality disorder. There are different theories regarding its origin and a number of psychotherapies which address the disorder. There is no specific FDA approved drug treatment.
Some medicines like Clozaril seem like new chemistries, not just replications of previous medicines. How similar are they?
Clozapine (the generic name for clozaril) is actually quite old, its discovery going back to the early 1960s. Due to its sometimes remarkable effects in treating psychosis, pharmaceutical manufacturers have attempted to create medications that had similar efficacy while attempting to avoid its side effects. In the case of clozapine, these side effects (agranulocytosis, metabolic syndrome, risk of myocarditis, seizures) have limited the medication to treatment resistant schizophrenia. Its closest chemical cousin, olanzapine, has similar risk of metabolic complications but it is not as effective in treatment refractory schizophrenia. However, at the moment there are clinical trials involving other potential medications that may mimic clozapine's method of action.
Inheritability male vs. female - Would you be more apt to have a problem if your father or mother had the problem?
While there appears to be a greater preponderance of major depressive disorder in females versus male as opposed to the rates for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, (which are equal in both sexes), there is no evidence for a significant difference with regard to heritability.
Bipolar <--------> Schizophrenia - one continuous line?
This is a very good and complex question that has occupied biological psychiatrists since the beginning. While our system of classifying Bipolar I (formerly manic-depressive illness) and schizophrenia have relied on the clear separation of the disorders from a diagnostic and prognostic standpoint, there is other evidence that in terms of genes that there may be a significant overlap. However, the treatment for the disorders as well as their life course, in general, is different.
Is there a cure for mental illness or only coping mechanisms and pills?
There is nothing more that most psychiatrists would wish for than a cure for major mental illnesses. However, these complex disorders are much more like other chronic medical conditions such as diabetes and hypertension and much less like infections that can be managed by a short course of antibiotics. Often in the course of a person's lifetime there are periods of remission and reoccurrences. Medications, while often effective, have rarely provided a definitive cure.
How concerned should we be about the effects of long-term use of anti-psychotics & anti-depressants? Are there any surgical solutions to depression and/or severe anxiety being studied?
Psychosurgery has a somewhat notorious past. Prior to the introduction of antipsychotics, frontal leucotomy (popularly known as lobotomy) irreparably damaged people for a period in which its use was quite popular. A famous case is that of Rosemary Kennedy (sister of JRK) who underwent the procedure in her 20s. After the introduction of antipsychotic medications, psychosurgery became much less prevalent. There are presently, a number of neurosurgical procedures for mental disorders and these are reserved fro the most serious cases where all approaches have failed and there continues to be severe functional impairment. For severe medication-resistant major depressive disorder, somatic treatments like ECT, vagal nerve stimulation, and deep brain stimulation may be considered. For severe medication-resistant obsessive compulsive disorder, procedures such as bilateral cingulotomy have been reported.
With regard to the effects of the long-term use of antipsychotics, this question is something that concerns all psychiatrists. Antipsychotics, are important medications that can help restore functioning in psychotic individuals, but are unfortunately not without risk. The older the antipsychotics had very significant rate of movement disorders where the newer medications (so-called atypicals) have a significant risk of metabolic disorders. As a result, the prudent psychiatrist will discuss these risks with the patient and family and monitor for these side effects. If the side effects cause significant problems, the psychiatrist will seek to treat these or if necessary change to another medication.
With regard to antidepressants, the newer antidepressants developed since the late 1980s have a somewhat better safety profile than older medications. For instance, tricyclic antidepressants were known to have significant toxic overdose effects, while the newer medications (SSRIs) are safer. However, no medication is without risk and the prudent physician (most prescriptions for antidepressants are actually by primary care physicians) should discuss them with the patient.
What do you see as the value in the theory of a viral cause in people with some minor mental illnesses?
We know for instance, that some people who get infectious illnesses (infectious mononucleosis) can develop significant mood symptoms following the illness and may take some time to recover. Theories have been put forth proposing the role of viruses in the development of mental disorders, none to date have been proved or disproved.
What are the chances of a spiritual emergency being mistaken for Schizo-affective disorder? Seeing the Devil, Hearing Demonic Voices, Isolating, Being "Hyper Religious"
The symptoms you describe appear to be psychotic. The question is in what context a person is experiencing these. For anyone who comes to a psychiatrist with these symptoms, before making a definitive diagnosis of a psychotic illness a number of other causes need to be ruled out. Among the most common are substances which cause psychotic symptoms and certain medical conditions. However, once those are ruled out and the context of the symptoms is established through a work-up and diagnostic interview, a diagnosis is highly unlikely to mistake spiritual beliefs for psychosis.
I am a concerned mother of a bipolar manic depressant addicted to alcohol. My question is what in the future will be available for addiction, to drugs or alcohol, that sometimes is part of mental illness?
Unfortunately, there is no definitive medication treatment for alcohol dependence. A number of medications exist, but need to be given along with psychosocial treatments (such as Alcoholics Anonymous). There is research in this area and we are hopeful that in the future better treatments may be developed.
Do you think reduced stays in psychiatric hospitals is due to insurance regulations? Rather than the rapid improvement of the mentally ill? Usually it takes 4-6 weeks to see therapeutic effect of psychotherapeutic drugs.
Better treatments and administrative reasons have contributed to the reduction in the length of stay in recent times.
What is your opinion of non-drug treatments for depression/long term clinical depression (i.e. ECT, TMS)? When should a patient consider trying any of the above after having tried many drug treatments?
ECT (Electroconvulsive therapy) is a highly effective treatment for severe, depression that is medication resistant. However, it should not be casually considered due to potential side effects, such as y memory loss. TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) has shown some promise in the treatment of depression and has been approved by the FDA. However, cost and availability are factors that have presently limited its use. Another modality that is under investigation is DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation). The field is continually looking for news; safe and effective treatments.
With regard to when a patient should consider these, this would be a discussion that an individual patient should have with their psychiatrist.
Do other countries have other percentages of mentally ill (than America's 1/3 of citizens?) Less? More?
That depends on how one defines mental illness. For instance, countries with strict legal prohibitions on alcohol have much lower rates of alcoholism. However, it is thought that for the major mental illnesses there is little significant difference between the rates in different countries.

On the other side of downtown Copenhagen, you find one of Copenhagen's most popular squares - Kongens Nytorv. Every spring, graduating high school students come and dance around the equestrian statue of King Christian V from 1688 in one of Denmark's oldest educational traditions, celebrating their graduation.
Next to Kongens Nytorv you find The Anchor - a large ship's anchor which commemorates all the Danish sailors lost at sea during the Second World War. The Anchor is also the boundary between Kongens Nytorv and the oldest part of Copenhagen Harbor called Nyhavn, today one of the prime recreational areas in Copenhagen.
Thanks to the then head of a major Danish shipping corporation, Copenhagen was given a new park a few years back. Located a 5 minute walk North of Nyhavn, and right next to the Royal Castle Amalienborg, it is one of the parks tourists invariably visit, simply because it's located next to some the major sites in Copenhagen.
Amaliehaven is located so that when standing at the right spot, you see the Amaliehaven fountain, Amalienborg - royal castle and winter home of the Danish Queen - and Frederiks Church, also known as Marmorkirken or The Marble Church, at one glance. The tour boats now make a stop in the harbor at the quay so you can get this shot yourself from the water.
In the opposite direction you find Amaliehaven's waterfront to the Copenhagen Harbor.
The waterfront is a popular promenade for locals and tourists alike. It offers a great view of the harbor and the Opera House just across the water.
Across the harbor you also see the old naval base Holmen that only recently ceased being a restricted area and was opened to the general public, except for a small area, which adds its own style and character to the harbor. [Picture note]

By M.D. Kittle | Wisconsin Watchdog
MADISON, Wis. — Marquette Baylor is finally speaking out against her long-time boss, U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin.
Baylor, fired by the Madison Democrat in February following a scandal at the Tomah Veterans Affairs Medical Center that has embroiled the junior senator, has filed an ethics complaint against Baldwin. It claims the senator lied and has engaged in a political cover-up.
"I, Marquette Baylor, bring this Ethics Complaint against my former employer, Senator Tammy Baldwin, for making false statements and representations to cover up actions by her Chief of Staff and protect her political career," Baylor states in the complaint, filed Monday with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics.
The senator's office did not immediately respond to Wisconsin Watchdog's request for comment.
Baldwin caught heat after investigative reports in January detailing allegations of abuses at the VA medical center, principally the overprescribing of painkillers that allegedly led to the deaths of several patients.
Baldwin's office, according to reports, did nothing with an inspector general's report last year outlining the concerns and refused to act when a whistleblower reportedly begged Baldwin's office to do something.
As the national spotlight grew hotter, Baldwin canned Baylor, her longtime deputy state director with, by all accounts, a sterling resume working for Baldwin and her predecessor, U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Milwaukee.
Baldwin has said nothing about Baylor's termination, nor the hefty severance package — with a confidentiality clause — offered to the aide. As Wisconsin Reporter first reported , Baylor refused the payout and has enlisted the help of attorneys.
"After the public outcry, Senator Baldwin immediately sought to place the blame squarely on me," Baylor states in her complaint, filed by Graves Garrett, the Kansas City law firm representing her. "(Baldwin) instructed her Chief of Staff, Bill Murat, to fly to Milwaukee, fire me, and offer me a severance package that required me to stay quiet. Murat then moved into damage control, meeting with individuals in Wisconsin and telling them that the inaction was my fault."
"When I rejected the severance package, Senator Baldwin revised her plan. She hired a high-powered law firm, paid that firm to prepare an internal report for her — at no point requesting to interview me or ask me questions — and used that report to further deflect blame toward me while protecting those truly at fault," the complaint alleges.
Baylor's damning allegations assert that, in August 2014, constituent services representatives in the Milwaukee office she managed identified "broad-scale misconduct" at multiple VA centers. At Baylor's direction the issue was elevated to Baldwin's state director, Doug Hill, and legislative director, Daniel McCarthy.
"Months passed without critical guidance," the complaint states.
Later, in November of 2014, Baylor said she was informed of the VA Office of Inspector General report regarding the overprescription practices at Tomah.
"My staff and I immediately developed an action plan and sought approval from Hill, the State Director, and Murat, the Chief of Staff. Despite repeated requests for approval of the proposed action plan, our efforts were rejected by Murat. My staff and I eventually prepared memorandums directed to the Senator herself. These memorandums were either ignored by the Senator or were withheld from her by Murat," Baylor states in the complaint.
Baylor alleges the senator and her staff have "disparaged the truth in order to cover up Murat's actions" and to protect Baldwin's political career.
"Had Murat, as the Chief of Staff, allowed me and other individuals to properly perform our roles, the issues surrounding the Tomah VA Medical Center would have been identified and addressed long ago," Baylor asserts. "By attempting to place the blame at my feet, Senator Baldwin has concealed the truth, made false statements, and mischaracterized my service as the Deputy State Director.
"Her actions to cover up Murat's willful misconduct are unbecoming of a United States Senator. She has acted unethically," the complaint alleges.
With more than a decade of service to Wisconsin policymakers and constituents, she says she is reluctant to challenge a United States senator.
"I am also reluctant to enter the spotlight, knowing that my actions will be viewed critically, and in hindsight," Baylor states. "But given the events in recent months — the misinformation campaign designed to protect the Senator and her Chief of Staff — this reluctance must yield. It must yield to defend my name and reputation from unjustified attack. And it must yield to bring focus to where it should have been all along: the veterans who receive care by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs."
Baylor could not be reached for comment Monday, and her attorney declined to comment.
The Wisconsin GOP certainly had some things to say about Baylor's complaint, however.
"Tammy Baldwin has been holding back the truth for months, and this Complaint is a startling revelation that Baldwin will say and do anything to protect herself and stay in power," said Joe Fadness, executive director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin. "If true, Baldwin must finally answer lingering questions about her role in the cover-up and decision to mislead Wisconsin."

So you're saying that Nancy Pelosi is a criminal because she agreed to waterboard terrorists?
It's quite simple, really. Either she didn't do her job when she was briefed, or she did and now wants to deny it. Which is it?

The Ministry of Labor started on Sunday the implementation of the third phase of the feminization of shops selling women's accessories. [2]This phase includes shops selling female perfumes, Jalabiyas (traditional dresses), bags, shoes, socks, clothes and fabrics for women as well as shops selling mother-care products (baby stuff are excluded), and pharmacies in malls selling beauty products and accessories. By October 2016, the ministry plans to achieve its goal to employ women in all stores selling women's accessories. [3]The ministry bans the employment of men and women at the same time in these stores. Shops also cannot ask Saudi women to report for work before 9:00 a.m. and leave after 11:00 p.m.The shops that employ three or more Saudi women will have to employ one Saudi woman as their supervisor or manager. All violating shops will be categorized in the red zone of Nitaqat. [4]Employment of expatriate women at these stores will lead to a fine ranging between SR3,000 and SR10,000 for each non-Saudi female employee. The employer will also be banned from getting visas or renewing iqamas of their employees. [5]Any Saudi woman who helps a business by agreeing to register her name without working there will be deprived of the financial support provided by the Human Resource Development Fund for at least three years if it is her first violation. If she commits the same violation again she will be deprived of the support for five years. The Ministry of Labor began an intensive inspection campaign on shops selling women's accessories last July.The inspection campaign was part of the second stage of feminizing shops selling women's dresses, abayas and accessories. It was complimentary to the first stage of feminization of lingerie shops. The feminization campaign bore fruits. [6]The number of female workers rose to 454,000 from 50,000 in 2009. But there are still over a million jobless women. That is why the ministry is working nonstop to create job opportunities for this huge number of female applicants.

ONLINE retail titan Amazon has announced it is expanding sales of its Kindle Fire HD tablet to more than 170 countries and territories around the world, and its Appstore in nearly 200 countries - including Australia.
The move on Thursday steps up the offensive of Amazon against rivals like Apple and Google in the market for tablets and content sold for the devices.
"Kindle Fire HD is the number one best-selling item in the world for Amazon since its launch, and we're thrilled to make it available to even more customers around the globe today," said Dave Limp, vice president at Amazon Kindle.
"Not only does Kindle Fire feature advanced hardware, it's also a service. When combined with our content ecosystem, great email and browsing and top-rated customer service, we hope people around the world will agree that Kindle Fire HD is the best tablet for an incredible price."
Amazon said Kindle Fire, which starts in the US market at $US159 ($A164), will start shipping to the additional countries by June 13.
Until now it had been sold outside the US only in Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Japan.
The Amazon Appstore is now available to millions of customers in nearly 200 countries, offering games, books, and other content.
It is competing with the likes of Apple and Google in the market for tablets and also online content and apps. Some reports say Amazon is developing its own smartphone.
The Seattle-based firm has not released sales figures but research firm IDC says Amazon is the fourth leading seller of tablets despite limited distribution, with 1.8 million units sold in the first quarter.
Amazon is likely using Kindle to globally expand its power as an online retailer, according to Silicon Valley analyst Rob Enderle.
"They are selling digital storefronts," Enderle said of putting Kindle tablets into the hands of people around the world.
Originally published as Amazon's Kindle Fire goes to 170 countries

Introduction to the basics of accounting
The most fundamental rule of accounting is that every debit has an equal and corresponding credit. Therefore, every transaction has a debit and credit component, which are equal. When all the accounts of a business are presented together (i.e. debit balances and credit balances are independently aggregated, the net balance will be nil (because aggregate of debit balances will be equal to aggregate of credit balances. This is also called the double-entry method of accounting which forms the core of record keeping.
Fundamentally, the golden rules of accounting are as follows:
Nature of Account
Personal: representing persons or organizations
Ravindra Shah A/c
Real: representing assets /liabilities
Furniture A/c, Cash A/C, Bank A/C
Nominal: representing expenses/losses/gains/incomes
Salaries A/c, Electricity A/C, Interest A/C
In India, the rules of accounting are laid down by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in collaboration with Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India. To make Indian companies at par with the globalized accounting environment, the Ministry has adopted the accounting standards prevalent in other countries which are known as Indian Accounting Standards. Presently, there are about 35 Indian Accounting Standards which are applicable to different types of companies. These Accounting Standards are recognized by the Companies Act, 1956 under Section 211 (3A).
Meaning of accounting and record keeping
Accounting is a method of recording activities of business and the transactions that take place in business operations. Accounting presents the financial state and health of a business in a nutshell. Entrepreneurs do not need to possess detailed knowledge of accounting, though it can be a significant advantage to know basics of the accounting process and their legal responsibilities with respect to accounting statements prepared for their business. They should also develop a basic ability to read and understand financial statements. Of course, the way in which an entrepreneur should understand or use financial statements of his business is very different from the way in which a financial analyst or a Chartered Accountant interprets or uses them.
This module will introduce business accounting as a process to beginners. Teaching how to comprehend financial statements is outside the scope of this module. Those of you who want to learn about those topics are encouraged to read an accounting textbook for the same.
In this section, we would begin with why accounting is crucial for business persons and decision makers in the corporate world. Please note that some of you may have knowledge about some of these topics already if you have studied accounting in school or college, in which case feel free to skip the parts that you already know. There would be certain legal aspects which you would still need to learn, so do not give this a complete miss.
Need and use of accounting
Accounting is useful for the following purposes:
1.Record of business transactions: Due to the multiplicity and complexity of most business transactions, keeping a record of them is very important. Accounting is useful in keeping such records of business transactions.
2.Attracting capital and loans:
Accounting is useful for a business to attract capital (from investors - venture capitalists, private equity investors, etc.). Investors and banks/ financial institutions rely on the financial statements of a business to determine value of a business and before investing or giving a loan they would want to be sure that you have proper accounting procedures. Further, businesses are often required to provide financial projections to investors periodically which requires an understanding of accounting.
3. Providing Information:
Accounting helps in providing financial information about the business to various stakeholders – such as managers, shareholders, customers and even regulators.
4. Making internal decisions:
Accounting helps the management to make decisions related to costs, inventories, work-force, etc.
5. Knowledge of cash flows:
Knowledge of cash flows is important for a business for two reasons – (i) every business must have a revenue model, and cash flows are extremely important in assessing the viability of a revenue model, (ii) every business must have sufficient cash flows to make its short term payments and liabilities, else it will be suffering from a liquidity crunch. Note that under Indian law, non-payment of debts and liabilities is also a ground for winding up (in other words, shutting down of a business due to bankruptcy) of a limited liability partnership (LLP) or a company, if they exceed Rs. 1 lakh and are due and unpaid for a minimum of three weeks. Businesses must have a clear understanding of their actual and projected cash flows, so that they do not face such a situation.
6. Setting targets and performance evaluation: Accounting helps in ascribing hard numbers to the targets of a business, and in comparing the actual performance of the business against those targets.
7. Comparison of performance:
Accounting helps ascertain the present and future cash flows of a business, to evaluate targets, and to: (i) compare the financial performance of a business across different financial periods (ii) compare performance of similar businesses (that is, competitors and related businesses in the same industry sector) (iii) compare the financial parameters of other industries, and (iv) compare the financial performance of different units of the same business.
8. Regulatory & Tax Requirement:
Businesses are required to maintain accounts pursuant to various laws. For example, companies must comply with the Companies Act, 1956 while preparing their accounts. Banks also need to follow any applicable directions of the Reserve Bank of India. The Income Tax Act, 1961 also lays down certain requirements to be followed for maintaining books of accounts. Failure to comply to these rules and regulations have serious consequences, including imprisonment. Specific legal provisions will be discussed in another document.
Note: Accounting information can be useful only if it is presented in a systematic manner which is standardized across businesses and industries. Therefore, there are rules to account and record information in pre-set formats so that the user of the information is able to understand the information in the intended manner. These rules are called Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles or GAAP.
Financial accounting vs. Managerial Accounting
Financial Accounting provides information to people outside the company primarily with the aim to attract capital and for auditing for taxation purposes. The information is presented in such a manner that all the major activities of the company are recorded and shown so that the investors get a picture of the company and are able to decide whether to invest in the company.
Managerial Accounting is aimed at company's internal usage to make investment decisions and to evaluate the company's performance.
It is an analysis of business information for the purposes of calculation of costs and planning in order to achieve efficiency in business operations. The main users of this type of business information are the owners and enterprise managers of an organization. Managerial accounting or management accounting confines itself to intra-company executives who are decision-making authorities in the company. They are concerned with the present and projected cash-flows, cost of production, cost of the finished product and its sale price, inventory management, achieving the targets and goals set out for different business units and their performance evaluation.
Components of Managerial Accounting
There are no strict rules for management accounting. An enterprise or the manager may choose any method of accounting the information available as long as it suits the needs of the enterprise.
The various components of managerial accounting are:
1. Cost accounting and evaluation of the enterprise goods and services – The various components of this aspect are:
- Cost accounting
- Determination of cost of production of goods/ rendering services
- Setting of selling price of the goods and/or services
- Estimation of value of the stocks
2. Management accounting also helps in managerial decision making, by helping managers in setting goals and objectives for the business, and in budgetary control and planning (say, planning organizational expenditure on employees) for employees or different units of an organization

Sports: Churchill hoopster to play for his father at UIW
Published 2:08 pm, Tuesday, April 30, 2013
Sam Burmeister hopes to play for his father someday.
The two had been on the court together when Sam played in elementary school, but the younger Burmeister wanted to be with Dad on a bigger stage.
After all Dad was the University of the Incarnate Word men's basketball coach Ken Burmeister, and the idea of going through the college experience together appealed to Sam.
Evidently, having Sam on his squad also appealed to the elder Burmeister as the Cardinals landed the 6-foot-4 Churchill guard's signature on a scholarship recently.
"This is an exciting thing," Sam said. "Ever since he got the job at Incarnate Word playing for him has been in the back of my mind. I loved the school and the coaching staff. I enjoy the players he has on the team now. It's just the right fit for me."
This is the perfect time for Sam to be going to Incarnate Word. The Cardinals are going to NCAA Division I next season and will become a member of the Southland Conference.
News Channel
Jumping to that level after spending the previous years in NCAA Division II means Incarnate Word coaches will be looking for special credentials from their recruits. Sam Burmeister seems to fit exactly what they want.
"We're happy to have him. He and I talked about this. We're going Division I next year and that's going to be a lot different than Division II," Ken Burmeister said.
"We need a player with good skills who is a good student and a gym rat who's going to work to get stronger and improve his game. We want someone who will lead the other guys to come to the gym to work. We think Sam will do that. He loves the game and he'll continue to work to get better."
Sam played varsity basketball at Churchill three years. This past season is where his game stood out as he averaged 14.4 points and 4.5 rebounds while helping the Chargers (29-6 season, 9-3 district) to a District 26-5A tri-championship with Reagan and Madison.
Churchill head coach Tim Woods believes Burmeister's presence was a major key to the Chargers' succeeding.
"It was exciting watching Sam develop as a player and student. He has worked incredibly hard. This was not something given to him," Woods said.
"This is something he earned. There's no question what he did was huge for us. He was a 6-4 guard who could shoot the three and rebound. What a great combo for a guard. He increased his strength so much. I think his best basketball is in front of him."
Burmeister saw this past season as a positive breakthrough. Now, he wants to be the same impact player with the Cardinals where he'll most likely work as a two-guard.
Although playing college basketball will be a new experience, Sam has one advantage. Since his father is a coach, he's been around the atmosphere and knows what it takes to excel.
"I love my father's coaching style," said the younger Burmeister, who is UIW's first Division I basketball signee.
"Being around my father has helped. It's improved my knowledge of the game," he said. "I know he might be tough on me at times, but it's going to make my game better."

Shawn Collinswrote a review of Salomon XA Pro 3D Mid GTX Ultra Trail Running Shoe - Men's on October 24, 2012
I like these shoes
Familiarity: I've used it several times
These shoes fit true. I bought them to replace my existing work boot. They are light, and comfortable. I was not sure about what size to order, but I ordered my normal size. I have not been let down with the quality, so far. I work in conditions exposed to all elements. I did not think I would like the speed lacig system, but after putting them on and taking them off, I appreciate it. I would recommend this shoe for all conditions.

Beijing (AFP) Oct 12, 2013
China's trade surplus narrowed to a disappointing $15.2 billion in September from $28.6 billion in August, customs figures showed Saturday.
Exports fell 0.3 percent year-on-year to $185.64 billion last month, while imports increased 7.4 percent to $170.44 billion, the figures said.
The September trade result was worse than expected with a survey of nine analysts surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires forecasting a trade surplus of $27 billion.
China's trade performance is a key element of the country's economic growth figures, the latest of which for the third quarter through September are due for release next Friday.
A string of strong data in recent months, including for exports and industrial output, have suggested quarterly growth may accelerate, spurring optimism following a surprise downturn during the first half of the year.
For the first nine months of the year, exports increased eight percent to $1.61 trillion, while imports increased 7.3 percent to $1.45 trillion.
The trade surplus for the period stood at $169.4 billion, up 14.4 percent, the figures showed.
The three-quarterly figures were described as "a trend of low, yet stable growth" by Zheng Yuesheng, an official at China's General Administration of Customs.
"Trade with the EU and Japan suggested upward momentum, as the trade with the US and ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) continued to climb," he added.
China, a major driver of the global economy, is coming off its worst annual economic performance since 1999 after gross domestic product (GDP) managed an expansion of just 7.7 percent last year.
Authorities, however, say weaker growth is in line with their desire to shift the country's economic growth model toward what they see as slower and more sustainable private-led demand rather than previously popular credit-fuelled state-driven investment projects.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday forecast that China's economy would grow 7.6 percent this year, while the World Bank said the day before it expects the country to achieve the government's official target of 7.5 percent.
China's slowing growth "will affect many other economies, notably the commodity exporters among the emerging market and developing economies", the Washington-based IMF said in its World Economic Outlook report.
Authorities' moves to rebalance the economy "may be accompanied by lower medium-term growth than achieved by China in recent decades", the IMF said.
Earlier this month, the government announced that Chinese manufacturing activity strengthened in September to its highest level in 17 months.
Meanwhile, a closely watched private survey of manufacturing released by British banking giant HSBC in late September for the same month showed a slight gain from August.
China had its national holiday in September. The Mid-Autumn Festival fell from September 19 to September 21 this year, while in 2012 the holiday ran from September 30 into October.

"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." (Psalm 147:3)
What is a "broken heart"? Have you ever had one? We use the expression when we talk about the deepest kind of grief a heart can feel. Broken hearts are often caused by a hurtful change in a relationship with another person. If someone you love dies, or if you have to say good-bye to a friend, or if someone close to you does something to hurt you deeply, you might say that you have a broken heart. But those are just the surface causes for a broken heart. Do you know what really causes broken hearts? All of the grief, death, and sadness we experience came into our world as the result of human sin.
Jesus' heart was broken once too. Psalm 69:20 looks ahead to the time when Jesus died on the cross for our sins. "Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness." Jesus' heart was not broken because of His own sin; He never sinned. It was broken because of ours. All the sins of the whole world were laid on Him when He suffered and died. During those hours on the cross, He endured the awful wrath of God the Father in our place. The precious relationship Jesus had with His Father, closer and more satisfying than anything we could know, was broken while He bore our sin.
Does your God understand what your broken heart feels like? He not only understands, but He also knows how to heal it. Through Jesus Christ's suffering and death on the cross, He made a way for you to come directly to Him with your broken heart. Your grief may be the result of your own sin or someone else's. Or it may be the result of sin's effects on our fallen world. Whatever the cause, God promises to gently care for your hurting heart.
The God whose heart was broken for sin will heal your broken heart.
My Response: » Have I brought my broken heart to God for healing?
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."
Many thought it was a waste of a good life when Jim Elliot announced he was going to spend his life on a foreign mission field. His life and death, however, encouraged thousands to follow his example. Was his life a waste? You decide….
Philip James Elliot was born on October 8, 1927, in Portland, Oregon. His father was an evangelist, and his mother was a chiropractor. Growing up, Jim and his three siblings were introduced to countless missionaries who visited in their home and told them exciting stories about Gospel work.
In 1945, Jim went to Wheaton College. He became a star on the wrestling team, and roomed with Pete Fleming. Together, these two friends dedicated their lives to whatever Christ had for them.
During his junior year of college, he met a godly girl named Elisabeth Howard. They had a long courtship, and then were married on his 26th birthday. Following their marriage, the Elliots continued to form detailed plans on how they could best reach the most unreached Ecuadorian natives with the Gospel. They knew the Aucas were a hostile tribe in Ecuador, but the added risk did not matter to them. They enlisted the help of four other men – including Elliot's old college roommate, Pete Fleming – and made plans to take the good news specifically to the Aucas.
Little did these five men and their families know that their mission to the Aucas would be the last thing they ever did. On January 8, 1956, some misunderstandings and hostility came to a head, and the Aucas turned against their would-be friends and evangelists. All five of the missionary men were speared to death by those whom they had endeavored to reach.
Through their own family members and those back home who heard about their testimonies, though, the men's mission to reach the Aucas eventually came to pass. Elisabeth Elliot stayed on and Nate Saint's sister Rachel came to help. Many more young workers were inspired to give their lives to missionary endeavors worldwide as a result of the Ecuador martyrs' sold-out dedication to spreading God's Gospel.
As Jim Elliot wrote, "Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God."
What are you doing for God right now? Are you doing your best in the responsibilities God has given you right now? Your school work? Being in your family and in your church family what you ought to be? Do you take your work and your studies seriously? Wherever you are right now (by God's grace), "be there" with your whole heart!
1 Corinthians 10:31 – Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
The Lamb That Was Slain
Revelation 5:12 "Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing."
1 John 1:8 – If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Conversion is an action one makes by repenting and putting their trust in Christ. One must turn from sin (repent) and turn to Christ through faith. (Matthew 11:28-29) "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls."

|Nice climb and a good warm up. It can also be linked to the chains from Halitosis Monkey. The crack is big and friendly enough to practice hand jams, but watch for bat droppings. They are not that terrible, but we found a lot of them all piled up inside the crack a couple times. You can avoid them almost completely using the holds around the crack instead of jamming, if need be.

Temporal range: Late Ordovician–Recent
|Reconstruction of Eurypterus (Eurypterida)
|Five views of Limulus polyphemus (Xiphosura)
|Scientific classification
Woodward, 1866
Merostomata is a class of chelicerate arthropods that contains the extinct Eurypterida (sea scorpions) and the extant Xiphosura (horseshoe crabs). The term was originally used by James Dwight Dana to refer to Xiphosura only, but was emended by Henry Woodward to cover both groups.
The name "Merostomata" derives from the Greek roots μηρός (meros, "thigh") and στόμα (stoma, "mouth"), in reference to the animals' possession of appendages which are mouthparts at their proximal end, but swimming legs at their distal end.[1]
The scientific consensus at the beginning of the 20th century was that these two marine groups were closely related, and only more distantly related to the terrestrial Arachnida.[2] Some more recent analyses suggest the grouping Merostomata is not monophyletic, with Xiphosura being basal to a clade comprising Eurypterida and Arachnida.[3] Other recent analyses support the monophyly of this group.[4] The Xiphosura are estimated to have diverged from the Arachnida 480 million years ago.[5]
The shared features of the two groups traditionally grouped in the Merostomata are now thought to be retentions of primitive conditions (symplesiomorphies), thus the name Merostomata has been recommended to be abandoned.[3]
