BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Brandon Boren collected his second walk-off hit in a Roadrunner uniform Sunday morning, knocking an RBI-single down the right field to give the CSUB baseball team a 7-6 win over Central Michigan.
The game began Saturday, but was suspended in the bottom of the seventh due to darkness. Later in the day, the Roadrunners fell 13-0 to the Cal Golden Bears to wrap up the weekend's action. With the split, the Roadrunners move to 5-2 on the season.
Bakersfield took an early 2-0 lead against the Chippewas as a Martin Medina double sent both Brandon Boren and Kyle Richardson across home plate. Central Michigan rallied with one run in the second and one in the third to tie the game.
The Roadrunners added a solo run in the fourth on an unearned run by Jason Kudlock, but Central Michigan rallied for three runs in the fifth to take a 5-3 lead. Bakersfield got one back in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI-single by Stuart Smith, making it 5-4 Central Michigan.
Down 6-4 in the bottom of the seventh, Joey Mills beat out a two-out single to short, bringing up Boren who smacked an RBI-double to right-center before play was suspended due to darkness.
The game resumed Sunday morning, and Boren played hero once again with the game-winning hit in the ninth. Kudlock opened the inning with a single to second and pinch hitter Kevin Younger drew a walk. Both runners advanced a base on a balk before JJ Henry sent the tying run across the plate with a ground out to the shortstop.
With two-outs, Boren poked the 1-1 offering down the right-field line to send Younger home for the walk-off win.
Boren finished 4-for-5 in the game, with one run and two RBIs. Kudlock was 3-for-5 while Martin Medina and Richardson each had two hits.
Jonathan Montoya struggled in his second start of the season, giving up four hits and two walks for four runs in four innings. Matt Reyes pitched three innings of relief Saturday and Martin Medina earned the win when the game resumed Sunday morning. Medina struck out two and did not allow a hit in the final two innings.
Against the Golden Bears, the Roadrunners struggled offensively, collecting just five hits to Cal's 19. Misplays in the field were also costly as CSUB committed six errors, five in the first three innings of play.
Austin Booker, Danny Oh and Tony Renda had three hits apiece for the Golden Bears who had a six-run third inning and a four-run fifth inning.
Bakersfield starter Mike McCarthy (1-1) lasted just 2.1 innings, giving up nine hits for eight earned runs. Sam Jones also struggled, giving up eight hits for five runs in 2.2 innings. Brandon Van Dam and Erik Draxton finished things off by combining for four innings of scoreless relief.
The Roadrunners travel for the first time this season when they take the short trip up the 99 to face Fresno State at 6:05 p.m. on Wednesday. They return home Friday to begin a three-game series against Northern Illinois.

How should i recount my boyfriend?
Should I tell my boyfriend that I had a one night stand while we be NOT together. Now Im worried that he and I may have a std. However he went and got some antibiotics today, he have an appt. on thurs for something similar he might get tested. Will the std be gone? Please anything helps
maybe hes have a one night stand before also.
You both should be tested for sure. I recently got next to a new guy & had unprotected sex & noticed something wrong "down there", go & got tested positive for Trich. That STD required taking a pill twice a day for 7 days & he had to thieve it at the same time or we would pass it back & forth so I have to tell him. We had only certain each other a month. So, I printed some research & highlighted the important parts & also wrote my feelings down for him. I know he be the one who gave it to me bc I wasnt with another guy for a few months & the guy before him I be with for over 3 yrs. He knew nothing of the STD & I found out a wk subsequent we also had Herpes....so you guys should get tested & go from near whether u want to tell him about the one night stand & as far as the STD itself, depending on the type whether it will jump away. Trich was gone from me in 7 days with medication & I will have herpes for the rest of my life.... Source(s): personal experience
Tell your boyfriend that you want to go to Planned Parenthood together for STD trialling, and that you want to see his test results and he can see yours. Whether or not you tell him about a one darkness stand is up to you, but you both need to be tested for STD's considering that you were apart for awhile. Couples should get tested once a year anyway. It newly makes good sense.
Your question going on for will the STD be gone when we don't know what the STD is and what treatment he is getting can't be answered accurately by anyone. We are not psychic. We do the best we can with the information provided. You should still get tested together. Here's a link to give support to you become more informed about STD's:

Is there anyone who still thinks robots can't beat humans at anything humans can do?
Didn't Ol' John Henry settle this 100 years ago?
That steam engine is than even the steel-drivin'est man, John. It don't need to eat nor sleep (and it doesn't complain as much if the mining company isn't quite as strict about all those safety rules as it could be).
Didn't the IBM supercomputers that took global titles in chess and Jeopardy prove that silicon can be smarter than meat if you narrow things down to just a few functions that brains and microprocessors handle in similar ways and then race to see who can finish first?
Humans know how to mine coal and play chess and play Jeopardy (but, oddly, no one has yet figured out whether there are rules to Australian Rules Football or whether the Ozzies are just making it all up as they go.)
Humans know what it would take to perform better at those things than they can. Humans know how to build machines and how to design machines to do the specific things humans can't.
Robots don't beat humans at anything. It's not a competition.
It's a design exercise.
Engineers beat John Henry, not the steam engine. Engineers and mining-company executives who figured the steam engine would work cheaper and John Henry could retrain as a receptionist or dental technician or something after they laid him off with no benefits.
So why is a Japanese robot named Evolta running the course of this year's Ironman World Championship triathlon next month?
For the honor and glory of Panasonic, which designed it and promote the rechargeable batteries on which Evolta runs (which Panasonic estimates can be recharged 1,800 times by placing them on a recharging pad).
Evolta is not entered in the actual race. It would get squished by the other competitors, probably on purpose.
The green-and-white 'bot is less than two feet tall and unbelievably slow. It will start the Ironman course Oct. 24 and finish in about a week (168 hours), according to its designer. Last year's winner in the men's division finished in eight hours 10 minutes, 37 seconds; the winner of the women's division crossed the line an hour and six minutes later.
Evolta's run will not involve a photo finish.
"Evolta's height is just one-tenth of a grown man, so we figured out that it would take it 10 times more time," Panasonic design engineer Tomotaka Takahashi told Reuters.
"It" will run the course in three different bodies, which raises the question of whether one entity named Evolta ran the course or three different models of the same machine. It will also change batteries as often as it needs to.
None of the human competitors will get a chance to do that when the real Ironman World Championship race is run Oct. 8.
Panasonic has also used Evolta for other publicity stunts – climbing the walls of the Grand Canyon and pedaling its way around the racetrack at Le Mans for 24 hours – also to promote the rechargeable batteries that power Evolta (they're double-A's).
The event is called the Panasonic EVOLTA World Challenge IV. World Challenge, in this case meaning "event staged by and for Panasonic," despite language and locations that make it sound like an actual sporting event.
Panasonic held a well-attended press conference earlier today to announce the event and got plenty of press coverage.
Despite the pictures and hyperbolic headlines, what this really boils down to is Panasonic putting batteries in an unusually resilient and adaptable toy, then sending staff along to make sure it doesn't run out of power, sink or run into a ditch while it keeps going in the direction it's pointed until someone picks it up and turns it off.
Skynet this ain't. If your job is to run triathlons, Evolta will not be putting you out of work any time soon.

North Korean spies enter South Korea posing as defectors, says lawmaker
Around 71 per cent of arrests over the past decade occurred while a conservative president was in office
Related topics
Nearly half of all North Korean spies arrested in South Korea over the past 10 years entered the country disguised as defectors, said a South Korean lawmaker on Friday.
Since 2003, South Korean authorities had arrested 49 North Korean spies and 21 of them had come to the South posing as refugees, noted Sim Jae-kwon, a member of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee, citing data compiled by the Ministry of Justice.
During the Roh Moo-hyun administration from 2003 to 2008, 14 North Korean spies were arrested, while 31 were arrested during the Lee Myung-bak administration from 2008 to 2013, showed the data. Four more spies have been arrested so far this year after conservative President Park Geun-hye took office in February.
"The rise in arrests appears to be a result of increased espionage from the North as inter-Korean relations worsened after the Lee Myung-bak administration came into power," said Sim.
Lee, of the conservative Saenuri Party, took a hardline approach on North Korea unlike his liberal predecessor Roh Moo-hyun, who took a conciliatory stance and tried to increase cross-border exchanges.
Around 71 per cent of all arrests over the past decade occurred while a conservative president was in office.
The jump in arrests also coincides with the 2010 sinking of the South Korean navy ship Cheonan, which, according to an international investigation, was Pyongyang's doing.
Heightened inter-Korean tensions following the sinking prompted South Korea to step up its anti-espionage activities, said observers.
"We have to guarantee the human rights and safety of defectors as much as possible, but the fact that nearly half of the spies were defectors shows the shortcomings of the National Intelligence Service's investigations and unification ministry's management of refugees," noted Sim. "The government urgently needs countermeasures.

A New Subspecies of Saguinus fuscicollis (Primates, Callitrichidae)
- First Online:
- Received:
- Accepted:
- Citations
- 157 Downloads
Saddleback tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis, S. melanoleucus, and S. tripartitus) occur in the upper Amazon, west of the rios Madeira and Mamoré–Guaporé to the Andes. They currently comprise 13 species and subspecies in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Here we report on a previously undescribed subspecies of Saguinus fuscicollis from the interfluvium of the lower rios Madeira and Purus in the central Amazon of Brazil. It is a distinct form with a very pronounced mottling on the back giving the appearance of a saddle, a characteristic shared by the 3 species, and the reason for their collective common name. The lack of a white superciliary chevron and its highly mottled ochraceous-dark brown to black saddle that extends from the scapular region to the base of the tail distinguish the new taxon from Saguinus fuscicollis weddelli. The latter characteristic also distinguishes it from another saddleback tamarin (Saguinus fuscicollis ssp.) that has been reported immediately to the south of its range in the same interfluvium. We compare pelage coloration, external characters and craniometric measurements with its geographically closest relatives, Saguinus fuscicollis weddelli and S. f. avilapiresi, and indicate its probable geographic distribution in a small area between the rios Madeira and Purus, just south of the Rio Amazonas.

WASHINGTON – Scientists have a new lead on a possible treatment to slow Alzheimer's disease by targeting a protein involved in limiting flexibility in the aging brain, according to a study released Thursday.
Researchers led by Stanford University neurobiologist Carla Shatz discovered that eliminating a certain protein from mice brains stopped the disease's symptoms from manifesting.
The researchers focused on a mouse protein called PirB, and its human homologue, LilrB2, which can be found on the surface of nerve cells in the brain. The protein appears to bind with beta-amyloid, a protein remnant that weakens the connections between neurons. Experiments showed that when PirB partners with beta-amyloid, it can "trigger a cascade of harmful reactions" that breaks down those connections, the researchers said. One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's is large buildups of beta-amyloids called "plaques."
Scientists say a drug targeting this protein could help slow the onset of Alzheimer's.
The findings were based on experiments in mice bred to develop Alzheimer's disease. In mice without the PirB gene, the synapses were more resistant to the beta-amyloid effects.

You know, your child should also qualify for an IEP on his spectrum diagnosis alone so that he receive speech therapy from the school to support his social and pragmatic language development. Over time, it is also important for him to receive reading comprehension support through specialized small group learning which in my district is done through a learning center model of specialized instruction, but if your area does not have an learning center model, an IEP can be drawn up to support his language learning needs in the classroom, as the very definition of spectrum disorders is that expressive and receptive language skills are concrete and functional making it difficult to participate in social language or draw inferences and understanding through language other then in the most concrete sense.
While this is another thing to tackle, you may also want to put your energies here, and fast, because I wonder what in the heck is going on in his classroom. What does his school day look like without any IEP or 504 accomodations. If they are telling you that they can't make accomodations until he is tested, then, stay on them until the testing is complete and read up on proper accomodations for children who have your son's issues. He will feel so much better when he is supported at school. He must be a ball of stress poor guy.
My son was in the 1st grade when his issues came to head for us too although Kindergarten wasn't a picnic either. However, when learning expectations in 1st grade jumped, and there was less time for play and recess, he became destabilized. He was tested then and placed on an IEP.
I hope that your school system can support his needs but work with them and see what they come up with. And, come back here to ask questions about the IEP process and your rights. I know this process all too well and i'm sure that many others do too. You will become the bulldog. Even though you're scared I'm sure you have it in you.
O.K...I just reread your post about having 504 accommodations without the 504 in place. Forget about the 504. He needs a much more comprehensive IEP to cover social, emotional, language, pragmatic and learning accommodation support. Your son must be so confused so much of the day. My guy, with PDD-NOS needed constant support to understand the social dimensions of classroom life. His school needs to step it up! Put in writing (in my school, it is to our guidance counselor) a request for a school evaluation to determine whether he qualifies for an IEP. He should qualify for the spectrum diagnosis alone. Please don't struggle with this at home without having the school do their job. You could be struggling so much at home partially because he is feeling so very very anxious at school.
Thank you for the info on 504 plans. No wonder the school psychologist wouldn't meet my eye when she said he didn't need one yet.
As for evaluations (to livinglife), he was eval'd last year and didn't qualify for special ed services. Thomas' IQ is high and in testing (one on one with an evaluator) he did mostly fine. His anxiety and social difficulties aren't going to come into play there... except for the executive functioning portion, which of course he did dreadfully on. Doesn't matter. They have bigger fish to fry. Thomas' therapist wants him re-tested by the school, but I'm hoping we can get the neuropsych done elsewhere, because then finances don't come into play. Our school district is very, very in debt.
I totally understand what you mean about the little angel guiding you in research for your son. I am taking deep breaths and letting my instincts guide me. Already have a lot of wonderful ideas due to you fine ladies. Thank you, thank you.
Suz, mommy to 2 chess-playing, lightsaber-wielding boys
He should qualify for an IEP regardless of his high IQ purely on the basis of his spectrum diagnosis in order to receive social and pragmatic language support . I don't know your son, or what state you live in....but a spectrum diagnosis usually by definition will bring social language and pragmatic language problems, that lead to anxiety in and of themselves, due to an awareness that they are not doing well socially or due to punishments they receive when they were unaware of the expected behavior, or poor reactions they get from other children but are unable to access the language and understanding required to change the outcome. I would be anxious too if I were on the spectrum and not getting any support!
If social and pragmatic problems are not dealt with it will lead to confusion and subsequent behavior problems that if are not seen in school will spill over at home. It is very telling that he hates it and doesn't want to go back. He seems to be taking all his frustration out on the family.
When my son was diagnosed with PDD and also showed features of anxiety his neuropsychologist who evaluated him said that his anxiety would likely clear when his school began to teach him pragmatic language skills, no longer discipline him for problems arising from his confusion, and give him clear and precise language consistent across all areas to explain his school expectations and use some incentives to encourage behavior that they want to see. Even if the evaluator at school does not see these issues as clearly as you do at home, they should be taking behavioral and emotion inventories to determine the level and extent of the issues at play in other areas, both school AND home. A problem at home can become a problem at school very easily for a child on the spectrum, as a high functioning child can no longer meet the higher demands placed on them for work and social interactions.
Instead of getting the school to "retest" I would get an outside evaluator who will tell the school the "official diagnosis" and what they recommend your child's services to be to provide an equal access to their education. In the interim, look for an advocate to help you wade through what you are entitled to ask for for your child based on the testing already received. You CAN and SHOULD receive an IEP with diagnosis specific recommendations for social and pragmatic language support. Often, parent advocates volunteer through your area Special Education Parent Collaborative to help parents through the process.
Our doctor agreed with you -- he needs an outside evaluator. My husband is not thrilled about the $1000 cost, but we'll find a way. Our doc also strongly felt Thomas has a processing delay... something the school doesn't agree with, but the doc said they rarely pick it up in their evals. He referred us to a neuropsychologist down county and I will call tomorrow.
Thank you again for all your kind help. Doc has him on new herbal supplementation, we will do heavy metal testing next month, and proceed with the neuropsych testing, and then take it from there. He is not opposed to medicating, but after speaking with Thomas and myself for quite a while today, feels that there are some more avenues to explore. I feel like we have a direction now and that's what I wanted.
Thanks to everyone again -- I've saved everyone's comments and suggestions. Mothering is so wonderful for expanding my horizons and my thought processes!
Suz, mommy to 2 chess-playing, lightsaber-wielding boys
I'm so glad to hear that you have a doctor that's backing your up! Let us know how it goes!
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Me too. I remember how scared and overwhelmed I used to feel when my son was seven. It really does get easier and it does sort itself out with time and your good efforts! I truly wish you all the best.
Gosh, I have nothing helpful to add, just wanted to say that I am right there with you all.
My son sounds just like Thomas. Your comment about how you glimpse the sweet boy sometimes and just want to get him back to that. UGH! It makes my heart hurt because I am right there with you. That is my son too. He can be so sweet to his little brother and the next moment raging at me about something. :(
We tried ADHD meds, just one round so far and it was a disaster. I know it takes a couple tries in most cases to get the right med, so I am researching them more before I decide which one we can try next. I feel certain we will try again I just want to be more informed. I am talking to lots of other parents in this boat and asking for lots of information.
We are also dairy free ( he is actually allergic we found out through blood test), mostly wheat free (got to get better at this), watch sugar, diet and all that jazz. Doing therapy, yada yada... The list goes on, right? LOL!
Anyway, I got on here today because I was looking for more specific reading material and threads that might be helpful to us.
Just today he begged for the park but once we got there he rode off on his bike where I couldn't see him and had to hunt him down (impulse control issue) and then threw a massive fit when i asked him to put on his shoes, finally we left. :( Then threw a fit all the way home. We home school and he also threw a couple tantrums about school. Oh and I was stupid enough to take him in the grocery store, so yeah. Its 4pm and I am done already. Where is the wine?
Homeschooling mama to 3 Italian babies. Due with #4 on Sept. 28! Planning a rockin' Homebirth.
Hi Jaime,
Your post made me laugh -- thank you for the support. :) Sorry for your bad day though... man oh man, I know those (and the need for a glass of wine at the end of the day. Or the desire for it in the middle of the day if it's really bad. ;)
I am the queen of reading. Some books haven't helped at all; some have helped a bit. The best is The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. I'm reading Parenting Without Power Struggles now, and while some of it would make Thomas roll his eyes, I like how it's put his behavior in perspective for me. I'm more hopeful.
The herbal med Thomas is on (he's actually on several, but the predominant one) is especially for ADHD, and can be taken in conjunction with prescription meds. It's called Nurture and Clarity. I DO think it helps... not enough, but we're starting it in conjunction with other things, so we'll see. It's from Israel and puts a dent in the wallet, but maybe something for you to try. My friend's son has ADHD and she has noticed HUGE differences in his violent behavior since she put him on it. Like this whole thread says though... something different works for every kid.
Thomas recently had his hearing checked by an audiologist, and has significant conductive loss in both ears. This was a huge shock for us, and could definitely be contributing to his issues. (The audiologist said he was an excellent lip reader, and probably had been doing so for quite some time.) The ENT said he has a lot of fluid. We're waiting the requisite 6 weeks, but then he will be a likely candidate for tubes. I know diet can contribute to the fluid issue, but I still can't figure out what could be causing it. At this point, I would let them do the tubes. He needs to hear. All other testing has been put on hold since then.
He sees his ped tomorrow for a follow up and we're going to discuss some of the other suggestions in this thread.
HUGS to you and luck and good wishes. And maybe a nice bottle of wine too...

On Mondays this NFL season, you've been accustomed to seeing analysis from Chad Millman, Behind the Bets boss, followed by a gambling breakdown of the "Monday Night Football" line and total from Jay Kornegay of the Las Vegas Hilton and a professional handicapper.
This week, however, Chad is stuck in New Jersey without power or a computer to dispense his gambling wisdom and thus, the Monday Night Chaser will only have analysis from Vegas experts.
Doesn't mean, though, that there aren't plenty of people chasing money after a crazy Sunday of football.
Matchup: San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs
Spread: Opened at Chargers minus-4, now Chargers minus-3
Over/Under: Opened at 44.5, still 44.5
Jay Kornegay says: "We finally have a halfway decent matchup on Monday night. We opened this AFC West scuffle at Chargers minus-4 with a total of 44.5. Money has consistently supported the home team throughout the week and the line has dropped to minus-3, with the total remaining at 44.5.

Does breast size matter when breastfeeding?
Hi everyone,
A friend of mine who is at the last few weeks of her pregnancy would like to know if the size of a woman's breast matters when it comes to breastfeeding.
She confides that she is a bit worried with the fact that she has small breasts; and that these small breasts she have might not be producing enough milk or any milk at all. She also tells me that there are pregnant women like her that have fine breast sizes and already produce milk while conceiving. Does breast size really matter when it comes to breastfeeding? Would a baby get enough milk whether mum's breast is small or big?
Hope to receive your replies.

Hi MumO'Three,
No - the size of your breasts does not affect your ability to produce breast milk or to breastfeed. Most of the differences in the size of women's breasts is due to the amount of fat in their breasts. It is the tissue which produces and stores breast milk which is important for breastfeeding (and this is not affected by the amount of fat in the breasts).
Many women find that their breasts get bigger during the end of pregnancy and also once their breast milk comes in. I hope this reassures your friend and I wish her all the best with her baby.
Best wishes,

Breast size makes no difference in the ability to breastfeed. I have very small breasts that do not expand until after birth. Even then, they will not necessary be huge.
All the Best,

It says a lot about the federal government's difficulty in promoting its carbon change policy that its best advocate is staring across the parliamentary chamber taunting Labor's ministers, as well as his own side, with his periodic bouts of truth in marketing.
It's hard to blame him for touching on the subject given that he was delivering a commemoration address for
Despite what his many critics will undoubtedly say, Mr Turnbull was doing a service for his party with the broader Australian electorate by reminding it that the Liberals have a proud record of environmental policy based on accepting scientific and economic advice, even when interventionist decisions were at odds with the interests of some supporters.
But the internal critics of Mr Turnbull, who was environment minister in the latter years of the Howard government, should pay heed to the predictable Labor reaction to the speech.
The problem for Labor is that Mr Turnbull has stuck to a consistent position on the issue to the point where he had the temerity in his speech to describe climate change as a moral challenge, a phrase that still haunts Labor. The government will never again have the credibility to occupy that high ground but it needs to focus more on the facts than opposition divisions.
Mr Turnbull is right to argue that the Australian political system runs the risk of being infected with the growing tendency in US politics to reject the best efforts of scientists. While climate science is not as settled as some other fields – as new research on sea levels has shown during the week – the overwhelming consensus suggests we should be taking action to reduce the risks.
But instead, the attacks on science mean that valuable momentum is being lost on devoting our best minds to how Australia can make an adjustment to a cleaner-energy economy with techniques such capturing emissions from coal. The best way of saving long-term jobs in the coal industry is to trust Australian scientists to find ways to have our better-quality coal used at home and abroad.
One of the ironies of this debate is that in the large emerging-market countries that sceptics criticise for not leading the way on emissions cuts, science is increasingly more respected than in some advanced countries where it has been the foundation of economic success.
Climate-science rejecters and those happy to go along for the ride should think about what sort of future they are bequeathing Australia when the best efforts of our scientists are routinely disparaged, and the same science is taken more seriously in less developed countries.

Today it would appear that good old disc-shaped flying saucers and passé and have been replaced by huge flying triangles, so much so that the triangles now have a book of their own. In many ways this is a sensible UFO book, such as used to be written in the 1960s, which avoids tales of crashed flying saucers, ice-cream loving aliens, abductions through solid walls and secret conspiracies by human-alien hybrids, concentrating instead on unusual things seen in the sky.
Marler undoubtedly possess more of a critical faculty than most American ufologists, and tries to portray himself as an open minded but sceptical investigator, however there is no doubt that his leanings are towards viewing the flying triangles as the products of "non-terrestrial technology". He is not impressed by claims that some of them represent secret terrestrial technologies, especially super-dooper high tech stealth planes, and argues that it doesn't make much sense to test over population centres when you could so in remote places. That is a cogent argument, though a counter argument might be that if you were developing some smoke and mirrors technology to over-awe an enemy, you might indeed want to test it out on the home population to see what happens. The same presumably applies to "non terrestrial technologies".
Marler starts by discussing in detail a flying triangle case from Lebanon, Illinois on the 5th January 2000. http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case277.htm.
He then undertakes a historical survey going back to the 1890s, where Donald Keyhoe has it that "[in 1895] England and Scotland buzzed with stories of triangular shaped objects". The only reference I have been able to find is this from 1894
A METEOR AT NOON-DAY. A resident at Handsworth writes: —" While walking down Robert-road, Handsworth, about 12.20 p.m. on Thursday a sudden flash of fire travelled across the sky—which was perfectly blue and clear at the time as a meteor does night. Its shape was that of an isosceles triangle with the base foremost, and appeared to about the length of two yards. I should be glad to know if any of your readers have noticed it, and if any explanation can given to the cause its appearance." Another correspondent says:—At 12.30 noon on Thursday large meteor travelling in northward direction passed across the sky. The sun was shining brightly the time, but notwithstanding this the meteor shone with the brilliancy of the electric light. Its apparent size was that of a cocoa-nut and it seemed to be a liquid state, the streaming in the l ear somewhat resembling the tail a comet. It was plainly seen from the Bull Ring. -- Gloucester Citizen, 9 Feb 1894.
Which looks like a bright daytime meteorite. The historical cases include some from contemporaneous newspaper reports while others are the classical reports made decades after the alleged events. After the historical review, Marler then goes on to examine various military reports, to profile individual aspects of the reports and then to interview an aerospace expert Prof John E Allen, which interview however ends up rather as a monologue by Marler, to which Allen simply mumbles "yes" from time to time.
Clearly taken at face value many of these cases, like UFO cases in general, are not easy to explain, perhaps however the rub lies with the taking at face value. Some of the cases here hit the trip wires for astronomical misperceptions (e.g. something seen for three hours, or lights pacing vehicles), some may be reflections, others optical contrast illusions, still others a variety of microlights, blimps, balloons, clouds etc. etc. Marler includes among his cases the 1954 BOAC case, which Martin Shough suggests was probably a mirage after all: http://www.caelestia.be/BOAC.html
A further indication that Marler is too willing to take exciting stories at face value is his acceptance of the every growing mythos of Jim Penniston of Rendlesham fame. The problem seems to be that however "open minded" American ufologists might genuinely try to be, it is almost impossible for the vast majority of them to escape from the mental hold of the ETH or is more esoteric cousins, or the belief in the inerrancy of eye witness testimony.
Marler is to be congratulated in his attempts to build up a comprehensive UFO archive in the United States and I hope he can cooperate with our friends in AFU in this venture. -- Peter Rogerson

Robert went at once to the camp of the Royal Americans, where Colden was the first of his friends whom he saw.
Colden was terrified at the storm that was raised, and took refuge in the fort.
But Colden, suspecting that his jest was truth rather, had too much delicacy to pursue the subject.
Why," said Elizabeth to Colden, "you may stay for a bite of supper.
I discovered that Colden had spent most of the preceding night with your daughter.
"It is only you who send me away," said Colden, dismally and reproachfully.
He swept past Colden, not seeing him; came to a stop in the centre of the hall, and looked rapidly around from face to face.
Major Colden had been having a most uncomfortable five minutes.
Mr. Valentine, who was smoking his pipe, held Colden fraternally by the arm.
Colden at once took on height, arrogance, and formidableness.

See, I was planning to come over here and tell you about something. But I got all smartsy and tossed out a status update, thusly:
And do you know what happened within ten minutes of that?
And now I'm down six cups of bleach, half a container of Clorox wipes, two layers of scrubbed-off skin, and am very much suffering from a poo-induced version of PTSD. I had to send The Child to her room, ferry the salvageables to the laundry and the nots to the trash, and come close the blinds and rock. By myself.
That bad.
So untouched is The Child by the wake of destruction left (literally) behind her that she not only refrained from protest when sent to her room, but proceeded to sing and giggle and otherwise make merry. Pretty nervy, you ask me.
I fear for all of us – am terrified that this may be the beginning of a poodemic. Or worse . . .
The Apoocalypse.

Lollopalooza 2014 was a doozy. Over the course of three days, about 140 performers played on eight stages that were spread out between one mile of Chicago's Grant Park. Once the king of "alternative rock" fests, 2014's Lollapalooza heavily focused on pop and hip-hop with a little bit of that alt-rock stuff in between.
There was Iggy Azalea, who forcefully bounced her way all over the stage to some brutally loud and heavy beats that almost caused the complimentary White Castle Sliders that I consumed to forcefully slide their way outta my guts. She's no joke. There were tons of hip-hop and EDM artists so naturally everybody was told to put their "muthafukkin hands in the air" a lot. I think that Lorde has a lyric in a song that says something about being sick of being told to put her hands in the air. Lorde is very wise for a teenager, and I'm mostly with her on that one, but it's alright when Flosstradamus says to do it because those dudes have spunk as well as some pretty great stage props.
This was the first time I'd heard Benjamin Booker. He and his band played some real catchy, blown-out garage tunes that went real well with standing around a park on a Saturday afternoon. Parquet Courts seemed pretty out of place on a giant stage at a 100,000 person festival. They played some pretty interesting and sometimes droney punkish songs that slightly reminded me of a few other bands that I love dearly, one of them being the legendary Michigan band, Tyvek.
Heavy rains fell throughout Sunday afternoon, turning much of Grant Park into a mud pit, just like Woodstock and Woodstock II or whatever they called the one in the '90s. Some people rolled around in the mud like human animals. Just after night fell, Skrillex appeared in some sort of alien craft that emitted all kinds of fog, blinking lights, laser beams and the loudest music I've ever heard.
So the sheer amount of music was fun-numbing, the crowd became the show, and all was well in summer fest-ville. Dude. Bro. Lollapalooza!

The Soviet regime was merciless to its opponents, and millions suffered and perished in its labor camp.
Not to curse the stage directions and threaten to send the stage manager to a labor camp.
At the age of 17, Min was sent to a labor camp near the East China Sea.
In 1986 Reagan orchestrated the release of Natan Sharansky, a prominent Soviet dissident, from a Siberian labor camp.
In the summer of 2014, they both were sentenced to 4-1/2 years in a labor camp.
When Madame Mao fell out of favor and killed herself, Anchee was sent to a labor camp, where she spent eight years.
And then there is the Goethals way of managing a labor camp.
That a labor camp does not have to be a plague spot has been gloriously demonstrated by Goethals at Panama.
There was a small riot at the labor camp one morning on account of a lack of food and of utensils for cooking.
The cook problem in a labor camp is 296 as difficult to handle as is the so-called "servant" problem of the city.

Of Greg Hunt, there is only one thing to say.
Shut up.
I don't say that lightly.
Tony Abbott I can give the benefit of the doubt, even though his performance in Question Time yesterday was, in my view, really unacceptable.
If you missed his contribution, the Opposition Leader, in the heat of a white-hot debate about suspending the standing orders declared: ''The voters of Queensland, they won't miss. They won't miss. The Prime Minister and this Leader of the House ... they've got targets on their foreheads.''
Yes. Targets. On their foreheads.
Isn't free speech a wonderful thing? Freedom of expression gives all of us the opportunity to act like a complete fool in front of a live television audience if we so choose.
So Abbott can, in that strict definitional sense, say exactly what he likes, and we can all give ourselves the jollies by defending our democratic right to over-reach, and be ludicrously inappropriate.
But I'd argue the responsibilities of Abbott's political office demand a higher standard of rhetorical contribution than making a clear allusion to some disgruntled soul or souls shooting two members of the government.
Presumably Abbott did too, because he's a good man who knows right from wrong. He withdrew the remarks promptly at the end of Question Time, without qualification. ''At the close of my contribution to the suspension of the standing orders debate I said something across the table which I shouldn't have. I used a metaphor that I regret, and I withdraw and I apologise.''
So Abbott's colleagues would naturally take up the diplomatic tone of the leader, and walk away from the comments too wouldn't they?
Well, no.
Liberal frontbencher Greg Hunt went out and blamed Anthony Albanese for Abbott's remarks.
I'll say that again because that particular transition may be a little hard to follow.
Hunt blamed one of the members of the government Abbott had suggested could be shot yesterday for bringing the Australian parliament to ''an absolute low.''
Hunt's rather heroic rationale was Albanese should lose his job as Leader of the House because he had brought ''the language of assassination, the language of political violence'' into the House of Representatives.
''This is a direct and deliberate abuse, '' Hunt declared.
Sorry, Mr Hunt, but Albanese did no such thing.
What he did was call Abbott out for his comments, which he was well within his rights and responsibilities to do.
Albanese said analogies like ''targets on their heads'' had terrible consequences if we look to America. ''The sort of provocative language used by extremists we shouldn't see used by the Leader of the Opposition,'' he said.
Hunt's intervention is a complete distortion of the facts.
It does him no credit.
We should all be attempting to get past an event yesterday that cheapened Australia's political discussion, and took us to a place where I for one, see no upside in going.

A sentencing hearing has again been scheduled for a Rocky Harbour man who has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from having sexual relations with a minor.
After pleading guilty to single counts of sexual interference and breaching probation, John Frederick Scott fired legal-aid lawyer Jamie Luscombe prior to his June 30 sentencing. He has now retained legal aid counsel Barbara Barker out of St. John's.
She represented him via telephone, and he appeared via video conference, when the matter was called in provincial court in Corner Brook Wednesday. The 43-year-old, who has consented to staying in jail, is now scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 28.
Scott was facing a total of 31 charges stemming from sexual relations he had with a girl under the age of 16 over a 15-month period from June 2012 to September 2013. The other 29 charges — six more counts of sexual interference, seven counts of invitation to sexual touching, seven counts of unlawfully luring a child under the age of 16 by means of a computer system, seven counts of sexual assault, a single count of accessing child pornography and one other count of failing to comply with a probation order — are scheduled to be withdrawn. All charges involved the one victim.
Recently obtained, Barker told provincial court Judge Wayne Gorman she is expecting to meet with Scott again today to conclude preparations for the sentencing.
Scott had also previously refused to speak to a probation officer to compile a pre-sentence report requested by Crown attorney Alana Dwyer.
His criminal record includes a 60-day prison term for an unrelated charge of providing liquor to a male youth. It was imposed in February.

On Saturday the 14th of May, 80 guests sat down to a fabulous Laird's Dinner. This was held in the Refectory at the Scottish Masonic Centre in Onehunga Auckland.
Early in the year Clan Donald Auckland decided to substitute the Annual Dinner for a themed dinner. It was felt that the standard format of the Annual Dinner had become too predictable. So on the instigation of the ladies on the committee, in particular Noelene McSkimming and Eileen Clark, it was decided to have a "Laird's Dinner".
It so happened that the Patron of Clan Donald Auckland is Allan MacDonald of Vallay, a Chieftain of Clan Macdonald of Sleat, and he graciously agreed to be the Laird for the Dinner.
The enthusiasm of these two ladies was infectious and the committee spent some months planning the event. The menu for the Dinner included smoked salmon, a baron of beef and a deep dish apple pie. There were also top quality New Zealand wines and fine Scotch Whisky.
On the day the committee changed the Refectory into a Laird's dining hall. Wall hangings, a stag's head plus the dressing of the tables created an amazing atmosphere of elegance and style.
The programme started with pre-dinner drinks then the official party, consisting of Alan MacDonald of Vallay and his wife Lee, The High Commissioner Harold McIsaac and his wife Mary, The President of Clan Donald Auckland Andrew Wilkie and his wife Pat and special guests Jock Davidson, the Chief of Clan Davidson, and his wife Mary, was piped in to the top table.
The official speeches were kept to a minimum and the guests had ample time to chat with other guests. There was a harpist who supplied background music and also sang Scottish and celtic songs.
Following toasts the Clan Piper Anton Hodson played a selection of tunes and was rewarded by the Laird with a quaich of whisky which he had to, by tradition, drink without stopping. The Laird also had to drink a quaich of whisky.
After Old Lang Syne it was time to go, but the guests were reluctant to leave. They had enjoyed such a fabulous evening and continued to chat with their many new friends.
The Laird's Dinner had been so popular that tickets had sold out very quickly and unfortunately many people, including Clan Members, missed out. Next years dinner, which will probably be a themed dinner, will also be very popular, and those that missed out this year will probably be the first to book.

The rockets landed inside an army base near the border with northern Gaza.
Overnight a Palestinian gunman was killed as he attacked troops at the main checkpoint from Israel to Gaza.
The violence comes a day after an tank shell aimed at suspected militants killed seven Palestinians youths in a strawberry field in northern Gaza.
Militant groups have intensified their rocket and mortar attacks on Israeli settlements and military posts, and the Israelis have launched raids aimed at halting the missiles, says the BBC's Alan Johnston in Gaza.
Pilgrims delayed
The soldiers injured when Qassam rockets were fired into Israel by Hamas militants early on Wednesday were taken to hospital in the desert town of Beersheva, the Israeli military said.
Earlier, two rockets were fired at the town of Sderot, close to the Gaza border and a frequent target. There were no casualties.
Palestinian militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad claimed joint responsibility for an overnight attack against the Erez checkpoint between Israel and Gaza.
Several Palestinian policemen were injured during the incident in addition to the man killed.
The Israeli military said the attack was likely to delay the passage of a group of 400 Palestinians waiting near the checkpoint to leave Gaza to begin a journey to Mecca for the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
Continuing violence near the Gaza-Israel border comes despite a call from Mahmoud Abbas, favourite to be elected Palestinian president on Sunday, to end rocket attacks against Israel.
Palestinian militants have been waging a four-year intifada or uprising against Israel, whose forces have occupied the Gaza Strip and West Bank since 1967.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is planning to pull out all 8,000 Israeli settlers and the troops who protect them from 21 fortified enclaves in Gaza. Israel will maintain control of Gaza's borders, coastline and airspace.

5 things you didn't know could be passed through breast milk
Chemicals are everywhere, so it's no surprise they end up in breast milk. Sabrina Rogers-Anderson helps you steer clear of the worst offenders.
While you're probably already aware that alcohol, caffeine and many medications make their way into your breast milk, you might be surprised to discover some of the other substances that could be in there as well.
Known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), these man made chemicals are present in our air, water and soil. When we're exposed to them, they latch onto our fat stores and then get passed onto our babies through our milk.
But before you dash to the store to buy a case of formula, rest assured that breast milk is less toxic than the air inside most homes in major cities. A study conducted by Ohio State and Johns Hopkins universities in the US found that city-dwelling babies are exposed to between 25 and 135 times more pollutants in the air than in their mothers' milk. Plus, formula can also contain contaminants – sometimes in even higher doses than breast milk.
Here are five of the most common chemicals in breast milk and how you can limit your exposure to them.
1. Bisphenol A (BPA)
You've probably noticed that many items made of hard plastic – particularly those designed for children – say 'BPA-free'. This chemical was frequently used to make plastic containers in the past, and it's still present in the lining of canned foods and on some cash register receipts. BPA can cause heart disease and diabetes, as well as infertility in women and erectile dysfunction in men. Look for BPA-free plastic – and avoid canned foods and receipts.
2. Pesticides
Many different types of pesticides have been detected in breast milk, the most common of which are organochlorine pesticides such as DDT. Widely used on crops and for mosquito control in the 1940s and 1950s, they have been linked to hormonal changes, birth defects and cancer in animals. In humans, they can be toxic to the brain and nervous system in high doses. Fortunately, most countries have now banned them and their levels in breast milk have significantly decreased. You can limit your contact with pesticides by buying organic food or washing all your fresh produce before eating it.
3. Flame retardants
Used in everything from mattresses to home electronics to reduce their flammability, flame retardants such as PBDEs have been shown to cause behavioural problems, brain damage and cancer in rodents. While more research is needed to find out their effects on humans, you can reduce the levels of flame retardants in your breast milk by minimising your usage of foam-filled furniture, carpets and curtains.
4. Heavy metals
Several potentially toxic metals have been detected in breast milk, including mercury, lead and cadmium. Mercury and lead are both toxic to babies' developing brains, so it's best to limit your exposure when you're breastfeeding. The most common source of mercury is fish, particularly shark and swordfish, so make sure you don't exceed recommended levels. The use of lead is now limited in Australia, but old paint and water pipes can pose a risk, so be particularly careful if you're renovating your home.
5. Phthalates
These chemicals soften hard plastics, help lotions absorb into the skin and make fragrances last longer. They're found in a wide range of household products, including food containers, toys, air fresheners and cosmetics. In animal studies, phthalates have been found to affect fertility and birth outcomes such as gestational age and birth weight, and to create abnormalities in male genitalia. Research is currently being conducted in humans to determine whether phthalates have an effect on asthma, childhood obesity and the timing of puberty. If you prefer to be on the safe side, choose products that say "phthalate-free" (although studies show this isn't a guarantee) and avoid microwaving food in plastic containers.
What lifestyle changes have you made to limit your child's exposure to potential toxins in your environment?
