Brew Crew break out brooms in St. Louis series, sit atop MLB
Until now, the Brewers had not swept a three-game series from Saint Louis at home since Milwaukee was in the American League and the two were playing their first Inter-league series ever in June of 1997.
The Brewers completed the identical feat yesterday afternoon with a 4-0 win over the Cardinals at Miller Park.
Chris Capuano lasted just three innings after he bruised his right calf on a hard grounder by Aaron Miles.
The left-hander is expected to make his next start on Monday.
Carlos Villanueva gave up two hits over the next four innings to get the win. He's 2-0.
The Cards only had five singles all day three by Albert Pujols, who extended his hitting streak to 11 games.
Milwaukee only had four hits. J.J. Hardy went 1-3 to extend his career-high hitting streak to 13.
Prince Fielder singled home a pair. Bill Hall stole home on a double-steal and he also doubled.
Anthony Reyes lost his seventh straight dating back to last year. He's 0-5 this season.
The Brewers have won four in a row and four of five from the Cards this season. Milwaukee now leads the National League Central by five games over Cincinnati - the biggest division lead in the Majors.
They still have baseball's best record at 18-9. The Brewers will open a home series against Pittsburgh Thursday night. Right-hander Dave Bush will face Pirates' lefty Tom Gorzelanny.

When the New York Mets and Oakland A's met up this season, people liked to compare how the two franchises have been built. The Mets and A's both have similarly low payrolls, with the Mets opening the season at 85 million and the A's having an 82 million dollar payroll. Both teams have front offices that believe in developing talent through the minor leagues and finding undervalued assets, so Mets fans hoped that their team could become a consistent contender like Oakland. While the Mets and A's have spent roughly the same money on payroll, their results are dramatically different.
While the A's are fighting the Los Angeles Angels atop the American League West for the league's best record, the Mets are toiling down at the bottom of the National League East once again. The Mets do have some promising talent on the way, but they haven't had a winning season since 2008 and appear at least a year away from being consistent playoff threats. The divide between the success of the Mets and A's is dramatic, and the reason it is so big may come down to how the teams are designed.
Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal did an excellent analysis of why the A's and Mets are experiencing such different levels of success for the same amount of money. While most pundits point to the A's success coming due to their strong farm system, Diamond points out that the A's have only used four home grown players all season, which is the fewest in all of baseball. The Mets have already used 21 home grown players, including seven starting position players and four starting pitchers.
One reason for the difference in success comes down to how the team's payrolls are constructed. The A's have a very lean payroll that isn't top heavy, with no one player earning more 12.5% of their payroll on Opening Day. The Mets top salaried player is David Wright, who earns 20 million dollars to count for approximately 23% of their payroll. When you add in the high salaries for expensive free agent imports Curtis Granderson and Bartolo Colon, the three players combine for nearly half of the Mets' payroll.
The A's don't have that kind of spending imbalance, largely due to their ability to find undervalued talent on the cheap. Diamond cites the two prominent examples of Brandon Moss and Josh Donaldson, two middle of the order hitters in Oakland's lineup. Moss was a minor league free agent who the A's picked up in 2012 after he bombed out of three other organizations. Donaldson was a throw in piece in the Rich Harden trade of 2008 who developed into the team's starting third baseman. The two have combined for 48 home runs, 160 RBI's, and an .812 OPS. In comparison, Wright and Granderson have combined for 23 homers, 103 RBI's, and a .701 OPS.
Not only are Donaldson and Moss outproducing Wright and Granderson, but they are doing it at a fraction of the cost. The Mets are getting that production from Wright and Granderson for 33 million dollars this season, while Donaldson and Moss cost the A's a combined 4.6 million dollars. Another example of the A's smart shopping came in the free agent market. Bartolo Colon pitched for Oakland last season and left for a two year, 20 million dollar contract with the Mets. The A's showed no interest in re-signing the 40 year old Colon at that price, instead choosing to sign 30 year old lefty Scott Kazmir to a two year, 22 million dollar deal. Colon has pitched well for the Mets, going 11-10 with a 3.85 ERA this season. Kazmir has been a tremendous bargain, going 14-5 with a 2.73 ERA and is a contender for the Cy Young Award.
This isn't to say that Sandy Alderson can't find low budget talent to help his team. Marlon Byrd was signed off the scrap heap last winter and was the Mets' cleanup hitter for most of 2013, while LaTroy Hawkins emerged from a minor league deal to become the primary setup man. Alderson hasn't, however, been able to hit on any of his low cost young talent acquisitions thus far. Andrew Brown, who some thought might be a diamond in the rough, has been only a AAAA player for the Mets. Another one of Alderson's low cost additions, Collin Cowgill, wasn't given much of a chance in 2013 before being shipped to the Angels. Cowgill now plays a valuable role for the Angels, hitting .274 in 79 games of action.
The A's and Mets have also made significant mistakes in payroll. The A's signed closer Jim Johnson to a two year deal worth 10 million dollars a year, while the Mets signed outfielder Chris Young to a one year, 7.5 million dollar deal. Both acquisitions blew up in the team's face, but the A's were able to jettison Johnson quickly and still add pieces to improve their team. The Mets couldn't do much with Chris Young since half their payroll was tied up in three players.
The Mets aren't going to be able to pull off Moneyball given the way their roster is constructed. The Mets chose to re-sign David Wright to an eight year, 138 million dollar deal that the A's have never given a core players. The A's constantly re-tool their roster, which is something that is harder for the Mets to do in the New York market. If the Mets let David Wright leave in free agency like the A's let Jason Giambi and Miguel Tejada leave in the past, they would be immensely criticized by their fans.
Given how the Mets are built now, they have to blend big city spending and Moneyball tactics if they want to contend. The Mets won't be able to sustain a winner with three players taking up half the payroll. The Mets are in a big market and should be able to push their payroll north of 100 million dollars to add the necessary bats to improve their roster. That doesn't preclude them from finding cheap young talent to augment the roster, like they have done in the bullpen now. If the Mets try and follow the Moneyball path with their current roster construction, they are doomed to fail.

Wood Dale Asphalt Parking Lot Mainteance
There is no question that a Chicago parking lot takes a beating day-in and day-out. And, in many climates, just the temperature swings alone are enough to cause accelerated deterioration. Constant freeze / thaw cycles, of course, cause constant expansion and contraction (cracks) - increasing the risk of water infiltration. Then the water freezes, expands the cracks further, and compounds the problem even more.
Asphalt maintenance consists of protecting asphalt by employing the following methods (asphalt seal coating, crack repair and asphalt repair) to prevent damage to the existing asphalt. Preventative parking lot maintenance is a solution used to prevent further deterioration of a parking lot. It is also the most cost-effective solution to maximize Wood Dale pavement life while minimizing risk. As soon as a pavement first shows signs of wear and tear such as raveling, transverse cracks, longitudinal cracks, or minor block cracking, it is in need of preventative maintenance. Parking lot repair services include corrective measures such as crack sealing, sealcoating, and asphalt patching/repair.

In Reply to: RE: whats Better dynamically better quality but smaller or large awg?? posted by tube wrangler on March 08, 2017 at 23:02:45
I thought you wired up your amplifiers with Siltech 13 ga. wire for everything.
Are you doing something different or just advising different ga. wires for budget builds?
Should I assume that the best wire is needed to get extended HF bandwidth with that 7B4 driver tube you are using?
dt 667
Follow Ups:
Great questions/ideas.
That old Siltech was LS-38, and some more modern variants.
This wire annihilated the solid VS multistrand headache that
has plagued builders for over a Century.
Totally laid waste to it, and a bunch of other pet theories too...
Using solid wires? Then, accept notchy bandwidth anomalies---
solid wire tunes according to length and diameter. Works
fine in a Radio.... not so much in High Fidelity. Don't forget
"skin-effect"-- it's very real, and more prevalent as wire
diameter increases. Solid wire is very coherent, but alas!
It, alone is only one tool of many, it's not High Fidelity.
Multistrand? Copper oxidizes, giving us diode-like effects...
Strands rub together, giving us less coherency and a more
mushy, bloated, gutless sound. Use silver? Silver tarnishes.
Fortunately, silver tarnish has nowhere near the horrible
effects of oxidized copper-- so it isn't AS bad...
Enter George Cardas, the man who tames copper multistrand.
George has his own metals refining in California. Cardas Litz
has individual strands that can't rub together-- they're
coated with a dielectric. Want to hear copper perform?
Siltech added some Gold to their silver metallurgy-- an
amalgam was the result. Solder is also an amalgam.
Their silver/gold metal does not tarnish, so has no diode-
effects. Sounds just like a solid wire in that you have no
non-coherent side-effects from using it. It is Multistrand,
of course. And no, nothing outperforms it-- solid or
In Siltech's case, multistrand outperforms solid. How? It has a
far more linear bandwidth. So, as long as the side-effects
problem is solved, you have something that outperforms ALL
solid wire. This was due to very careful metallurgical
engineering, and careful Silicone, Kapton, or perhaps
Teflon jacketing.
We also have Cardas solid silver-- which is a very good
short-length hookup wire for small signals-- I often
parallel this or triple it, and gain more overall
linerarity and "punch". We have AGSS from Kimber. It has
a very slight "golden" sheen... Hmmmm-m? Alright, then...
Silver Sonic continues to advance, and other silver
wire people are catching up.
All of this wire development is a huge advantage to
builders. Now, we can find near Siltech performance
from other vendors... which is already lowering costs.
In the old days, I used the heavy Siltech multistrand
silver/gold for nearly everything. The difference over
anything else was very obvious-- you HAD to use it.
The largest improvement of all came to me while I had a
JBL Paragon. (83-88 db). The Paragon had over
80 feet of 14ga. silver wire in it from the factory. This
special wire was carbon-granule baked, and then
jacketed. I was using high-power tube amps to drive the
Paragon. My 2A3 amps sounded wonderful on this monster,
but couldn't get it to full power and glory-- I
love marching bands, and a good Rock Band as well as
other music.
I re-wired the whole thing with Siltech LS-38.
This was doubled-up for the crossover inputs from the
amplifiers, (there are 4 crossovers) and for crossover
outputs into the 15" woofers.
The system was listened to-- the small 2A3 amps now easily
had more power than the Paragon needed-- through THIS wire!!
For any listening level that one could physically stand.
Clean, clear, super dynamic and wideband. Awesome.
Next, I "blueprinted" both the midrange drivers and the
tweeters.... I went through several voice-coils until I got
perfect fitting all around. The short wires inside the
driver cups were replaced with Siltech LS-38. This garnered
more improvements than the voice-coil fitting alone did!
Together? NOW, we were talking!!
The JBL Paragon became an indispensable engineering tool.
It could reproduce every part of music with great transparency
power and dynamics. The Integrator-panel across its front
(see JBL Heritage) allowed far better see-through into
recording venues, and inside acoustical instruments than
most anything, yet transparency and bandwidth rivaled the
best headsets. It delivered something headsets can't
do-- it placed the venue into your room. It didn't merely
"take you there", it took the venue TO YOU.
The JBL Paragon became the ultimate design tool for amps,
and everything else in a good audio system.
Of course, it became obvious that amplifiers require the
same quality wiring, and require different wire-fitting in
different parts of an amplifier. Today, several brands and
designs of wiring are used as wire advances continue..
What you use is up to you-- and it must be.
This is only a Hobby-- you can play at any level you like.
Don't let anybody fool you, or play around with your mind,
or waste your time trying to "prove" clinically-provable
assumptions with charts, graphs, etc., unless you NEED and
can APPLY the data usefully. Personally, I read most of it,
and sometimes learn something genuinely useful from it.
Just remember one thing: it's all about performance in the
real world-- does it make you want to get up and dance, or
will it just play impressively until you sooner or later--
tire of it?
The better the ingredients, the better the Pie. The better
the Baker, also the better the Pie, and you get satisfaction!.

Got any opinions on the mil spec silver plated copper stranded PTFE wires?
I got some from APEX Jr. 12 ga. but have not used it as amp hookup wire just from passive crossover to altec horns .
Would a lighter ga. of the mil spec be ok for amp wirings or is it too budget minded to perform well?
Trying to go full range with one amp and speaker like your SS system is probably one of the biggest challenges in this hobby.
Looks like you have mastered that problem.
dt 667
Be careful when using Mil-Spec.
This wire is designed to enhance power transfer
efficiency in aircraft and other places.
It is very superior to ordinary copper hookup wire,
and can be a bargain cost-wise, but it does have its
limitations-- it wasn't designed for High Fidelity.
With that said, twisting 2 or 3 12ga. leads together
(for each leg, leave each polarity separated) can really drive
a speaker well. 12ga. is also good for internal
grounding systems in amps and preamps.
The lighter gauges can't compete with super-expensive,
audio-engineered stuff-- but what the heck-- in a budget
system, it could outperform any cheap copper in spades.
Would it outperform GOOD copper, such as Cardas?
That's very doubtful, but it can be tried in certain
applications-- see what happens-- why not?
One thing is sure-- it's in mass production, and would
cost a lot more if it wasn't paid for out of industrial
and military money.
I would say experiment with it, what have you to lose?
Edits: 03/10/17
The cardas litz wire seems OK for my budget.
Looks like well engineered hookup wires.
I don't have the solder pot needed to tin the wires properly.
Apparently this is a must have.
Thanks for the info.
dt 667
Hey Dennis thanks for taking your time to pst your thoughts, to be honest I am NOT much of a silver guy but I believe if used sparingly, and in the right spot I could work
Now I really am lliking this wire I am experimenting with is consisted a copper core, silver plated then gold plated over that , its very small awg but many strands in very old unbleached cotton shoestring insulation top to bottom is very good, Now I want my music I listen too to have real musical merit like what we hear in a good live unamplified venu meaning good clear vocal with proper structure and sounds.
Now silver is a bright sounding conductor or very dull sounding and can hilight our music and even sound exciting but after awhile you tire from this exaggeration plus there is losses in tone,tonal structure and realizem.
so far the thin copper silver gold wire is beating up all the others
You have a computer with a sound interface. There is some decent FFT software available free on line.
Why not show us these differences between wires? If silver wire boosts the high end enough to hear it, surely that can easily be measured.
When is somebody going to show us a repeatable test of 12wag versus thin silver wire in a tube amp input circuit?
If this is so audible, why can nobody measure it?
This is the Second time I am going to ask you NON believers to please leave this thread as only subjective, Now if you want to GO AND START YOUR OWN THREAD HOW ALL OF US SUBJECTIVE PEOPLE HAVE NO CLUE GO RIGHT AHEAD LEAVE MY THREAD ALONE START YOUR OWN THREAD ALREADY!!
"Now if you want to GO AND START YOUR OWN THREAD HOW ALL OF US SUBJECTIVE PEOPLE HAVE NO CLUE GO RIGHT AHEAD LEAVE MY THREAD ALONE START YOUR OWN THREAD ALREADY!!"
Sorry, but how were people supposed to know that a thread where you said you had some new results on the comparison between heavy awg and small awg wire was intended to be exclusively about subjective impressions and not actual physics and measurements?
There is a tweaks forum to discuss these ideas. This is supposed to be a practical construction forum.
A novice coming in here to build a project does not need to be burdened with these unproven expensive tweaks.
But I will cease posting here, what the point?
Edits: 03/10/17
A practical construction forum is one where
people are free to build what they want and need,
are free to ask any questions they like about it--
FROM ANYONE, and are free-- without intimidation--
to get those questions answered by ANYONE
that THEY choose to listen to.
In a true practical construction forum, good people
with common sense are able to glean what they wish to
apply-- and are able to reject what they do not-- from
any or all of the postings, without any enforced rulings
from "experts" who flame-out every time they see something
that they think might not conform to their charts and graphs.
WHY someone might not wish to obey them is not considered
at all.
Of course, they only want to "save you from yourself"--
they don't allow for your freedom to chart your own way
because you might make a mistake by listening to somebody
that doesn't think like them-- you might not obey
the dictations that they had deemed necessary for you....,
and that would be BAD PUPPY~!
Here are some insightful, inspiring words-- direct
quotes from Mr. Nikola Tesla:
"Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for
experiments, and they wander off through equation
after equation, and eventually build a structure which
has no relation to reality".
"Energy, Frequency, Vibration".
"Intuition counts, not the brain".
I believe that Mr. Tesla knew that his
intuitive information came from the Cosmos,
what would we call it-- perhaps Universal Energy,
perhaps he got it from God.
There are certainties: (1) It worked. (2) He
said it DID NOT come from his brain. He also
mused that he applied those ideas by designing
a complete machine in his conscious thought, not
with mathematics, not from the brain or from anything
proven, not from charts, graphs, or from anything else..
He BUILT THE MACHINE FIRST. All of the proof was
in the thing he had built.
This is also how I design my own equipment-- the only
proof needed is in the equipment itself.

'Cherry picking' to support your lack of knowledge and application of physics.
Look at what he said about Edison:
Many Thanks for the URL.
What men are really fighting over is Turf--
or, to state it simply: resources-- energy,
Political Power
(in this case, forum-induced electrical/political correctness)
is useless for producing what you want-- it is only useful for
TAKING what people think they want... away from others.
This is our dilemma: new ideas are always
opposed by those who are protecting their Turf.
We don't need or want that-- it's only cheap
politics as usual.
What we need is a new (old?) form of power that
can be used to eliminate the "need" for Turf Battles
(and war!)-- we need a free energy source- BADLY.
There are some good minds who post on these forums.
Yes, sometimes a little calculation will save time--
the controverse is ALSO true-- calculations that produce
working models that aren't quite right are also wastes
of time.
WHERE is your FREE ENERGY source? THIS is what you
should be arguing over!
"A Man With No Imagination Is A Prisoner. Trapped
In His Own Narrow Mind".
Dennis, I think you have just explained some of the these goings on - on both sides.
Some of us are caught in the middle; the actions of both "sides" are destroying the forum.
There is one protagonist on the SET forum who continually inflames battles, frequently posting off-topic promote his views, baiting others to respond.
"Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems to characterise our age." Albert Einstein
The forum cannot be destroyed-- ever-- as long as BOTH
sides can speak freely at all times on anything that
ANY POSTER feels is relevant, not the other way around--
When either side tries to limit or stop discussion-- if that
side succeeds, then the forum is destroyed.
Whenever a public forum becomes a dictatorship (by one side)
or a democracy (mob rule led by an agent/s), it IS destroyed.
The only way a public forum can be destroyed is--
either thru one-side rule (dictatorship), or thru
Mob Rule (democracy). Either or both will destroy a
forum because INDIVIDUAL person input is either controlled
or squelched, or barred. This, of course, renders a
forum useless for new ideas and problem solving.
As long as INDIVIDUALS on both sides are able talk/post
freely, all is JUST FINE.
This honest operation of a forum isn't especially revered
by those who wish to control it for their own uses.
Intelligent people allow those people to talk freely also--
intelligent people want ZERO suppression of human expression
of ideas, so they tolerate give-and-take.
Those who resent this normally constant give-and-take are
trying to use the forum for their own ends only.
One can always tell the phonies from the real people.
The phonies are trying to shut someone up.
That is a certain sign that they are not on the level..

This is an audio forum, with guidelines and I assume some purpose. What you have described guarantees those few with the loudest and most insistent voices, and most willing to ignore the forum guidelines, will prevail. I thought perhaps - as a diverse collective - could achieve more than forum war-mongering and turf warring. My bad.
This may be a turf war, but it needn't be. I'm very much for genuine diversity of opinion and healthy debate.

I'm with you on this-- I too believe in staying on topic,
that is, as long as we don't start suppressing posts/posters
as a sort of "cure" for a problem that doesn't exist
as a genuine problem.
We should also let posters stray from the topic as long as
it doesn't become something bizarre, like advertising
Women's brazziers. Wait a minute-- even that might have some
bearing on something in audio that maybe we could apply--
then, it might not. If it doesn't-- nothing lost--
laugh at it, and go on to the posts you can use.
Most of the posts look very much like signs of
health to me... if we don't leave them alone, we end up
as cheap, totalitarian censors-- which are a penny-a-dozen
all over the world.
These particular forums are unique in that they have so
far stayed in the free speech/expression mode, making them
the most valuable forums on the internet.
That this causes some frictions is exactly what should
be expected and will happen but it is POSITIVE, not negative.
The trick to negotiating such a place is to use the posts
you can use yourself. There are plenty of good ones
posted on both sides, simply pick those out for yourself.
You could censor some posts or posters, but then all you
would have is tons of the same ideas-- worked over and over
until all the members got bored by the same approaches from
the posts they did allow and the forum becomes just
another club just like the millions of others on the
The intelligence and ingenuity of nearly all of the posters
here is very high. Arguments between members should be
expected, encouraged, and learned from!
Jeff, I don't need to be convinced of the prevalence of stagnant, misguided "science". As an ex-researcher, still working in a research-related field, I see the limitations of science daily. I also see wild theories, guesses, flawed logic and fallacies, and all manner of biases at play...
Both extremes are clearly evident in the AA (not that there is really a duality or two points on a continuum, but I digress).
What really shits me are those claiming their personal opinions as absolute truths on one hand then lecture others on the other for doing exactly same... despite their own truths changing frequently. Unaware... driven by their neediness. Noise. Misleading.

Years and many posts re 'I hear it' and not one verification.
Measurement and analysis now operates at the molecular level.
Given the will to do so, audio systems are a doddle. Most claims re hearing a difference are related to changes that could only be regarded as inaudible.
Psychoacoustics is the area that subjectivists are in denial about. In the absence of verification of their many claims this is where they should be looking. The inconsistency of what they claim to hear, between individuals, could be due to individual mind processing.

News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch has denied he has talked to US cable TV mogul John Malone about selling assets to Mr Malone's company, Liberty Media.
Speaking at a press briefing held during a conference in Los Angeles on Monday, Mr Murdoch said he talked to Mr Malone every couple of weeks but said there had been no discussions about asset sales.
"There's nothing for sale. We're happy," he said.
Mr Malone, who is chairman of Liberty Media, last week told the Financial Times he was talking to his friend and rival about swapping some of his voting stock in News Corp for TV production and programming assets.
"We could exchange small amounts of our News Corp shares back for these assets," he said.
Mr Malone would not name the assets he was most interested in but said he was having "fairly active" talks with News about international and non-fiction programming.
In January Mr Malone, who last year helped Mr Murdoch clinch the deal of a lifetime with the purchase of US satellite operator DirecTV, emerged as the most powerful shareholder on the News Corp registry behind the Murdoch family.
Speculation about a deal between the two media giants comes as News Corp prepares to leave Australia to incorporate in the US in an attempt to encourage US fund managers to buy the stock.
That move has raised concerns locally News might be dumped from Australia's ASX 200 stock index if it is included in the S&P 500 index.
However, the plan has raised no red flags for credit ratings agency Moody's, which said on Monday it was reviewing News Corp's credit ratings with a view to increasing them.
The agency said News Corp's stronger balance sheet had prompted the review.
"The review will assess the expectations and capital requirements for developing assets, which have been showing progress in operating performance and the review and the ratings will also continue to consider the hidden value of major non-consolidated assets such as the company's significant interests in BSkyB and DirecTV," it said.
News owns 35 per cent of the British pay TV outfit BSkyB and 34 per cent of US satellite pay TV group DirecTV.
Moody's also said it would look at the risk that News Corp would continue to be driven by acquisitions, which had constrained its credit ratings in past years.

After two weekends off following round eight in Washougal, Washington, the Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Championships picked back up at MX 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts, this weekend with some intense racing action in both classes.
In the 450 class, Red Bull KTM's Ryan Dungey took another overall victory, but it wasn't without issues, as he lost the second moto after a crash caused him to make a quick pit stop due to a fuel issue. The 250 class saw current points leader Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Blake Baggett extend his points lead with a commanding 3-1 performance for the overall victory.
250 Moto One:
The first race of the day saw an unexpected rider take the holeshot, as Geico Honda's rookie Zach Bell rounded the first turn in the lead ahead Red Bull KTM's Marvin Musquin, Honda-mounted Shawn Rife, and Geico Honda's Eli Tomac. On the second lap, though, Tomac had already worked his way into second and began to set his sights on Bell out front. On the sixth lap, Bell went down hard, handing the lead to Tomac and pulling out of the race. Tomac then began to quickly open up a big lead over Musquin, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Blake Baggett, Red Bull KTM's Ken Roczen, and Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Honda's Jessy Nelson. As the laps continued, Tomac's lead continued to grow as he put in consistently fast laps. Behind him, things remained the same until the checkered flag flew. Tomac took the win followed by Musquin, Baggett, and Roczen. It's also worth mentioning that Geico Honda's Justin Barcia crossed the line seventh after completing the first lap in 20th.

250 Moto Two:
The second moto saw Nelson take the holeshot ahead of Roczen, Baggett, Eleven10 Mods/Honda's Alex Martin, and Barcia. After the first lap, though, Roczen moved into first and quickly established his control of the race. As for Nelson, he dropped back and eventually finished 11th. Up front Roczen opened up a lead over Baggett, but at the halfway mark, the Kawasaki rider managed to close the gap on Roczen, making for an intense battle during the final laps of the race. Behind them, Tomac had also caught up and attempted to make a move on Baggett for second, but clipped a tree on the inside of a tight left hand corner, causing him to go down. Tomac remounted and eventually finished third. As for Baggett, he closed on Roczen, and after swapping the lead position a couple times, he made the pass stick to ride away with the win. Behind him, Roczen took second followed by Tomac in third.

A bipartisan bill introduced by California Assembly members Frank Bigelow and Bob Wieckowski could reduce fuel for wildfires by increasing the number of forest thinning projects.
Assembly Bill 350 would increase the diameter of trees that qualify to be cleared under the state's Forest Fire Prevention Exemption law to 28 inches (34 inches in special circumstances).
That's up from the current 18 and 24 inches.
The bill is designed to get landowners to engage in forest thinning projects to reduce the threat and intensity of wildfires, Bigelow and Wieckowski, D-Fremont, said in a joint statement.
Bigelow, R-O'Neals, represents Tuolumne and Calaveras counties in the Fifth Assembly District, which also includes all or parts of heavily forested Placer, El Dorado, Alpine, Amador, Mariposa, Madera and Mono counties.
John Buckley, director of the Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center in Twain Harte, often at odds with loggers, thinks flexibility is good but that the 30-inch limit is overgenerous.
"Taking the 24, 26 or 28-inch tree may allow a landowner to pay for removing smaller trees that honestly pose fire risks," he said, "but to claim to have to take anything over 30 inches (in diameter) goes beyond that. I feel most of those who believe in conservation would feel that is not only inappropriate, but an abuse of the claim they are trying to reduce fire risk."
Adam Frese, a forester with the Tuolumne-Calaveras unit of Cal Fire, said he believes the bill would make it more economical for operators to get rid of the ladder fuels that are extremely dangerous.
Ladder fuels are things such as grass, brush and very small trees that carry fire from ground level to the tops of bigger trees.
Jim Rosbrook, assistant chief of the Altaville-Melones Fire Protection District, was more skeptical of the bill.
"Supposedly, it's for the purpose of fire prevention," he said. "My thoughts are they should be concerned about the ladder effect of grass and brush and let the trees stand on their own. Even if you have a 100-foot clearance around your house, that doesn't mean you don't have any trees, it just means you clear all the grass and brush around it. Trees don't catch fire by themselves, except in the case of lightning strikes."
Mike Albrecht, of Sonora, a Tuolumne County logger who says he believes in maintaining a sustainable forest for future generations, believes allowing operators to remove some larger trees gives them the funding to remove brush and other ladder fuels.
There is no doubt Tuolumne and Calaveras counties are at high risk for devastating wildfires.
A state insurance organization survey last summer found that the two counties have among the highest percentage of homes at high to extreme risk for wildfires when compared with other parts of the state.
The Insurance Information Network of California survey assessed the wildfire risk for properties county-by-county.
The report found that more than 80 percent of Tuolumne County's 31,244 homes are at high or extreme levels of wildfire danger. In Calaveras County, that number is 66.5 percent of the county's 27,925 homes.
The statewide rate was about 14.8 percent of California homes, and the Central Sierra Nevada counties had among the highest percentages of homes at risk. The only counties with higher percentages of "at risk" homes were Alpine, 86.2 percent, and Mariposa, 81.5 percent.
AB 350 was introduced Feb. 13.

Upcoming Conferences and Events
Published December 4, 1997
A Federal grand-jury investigation of 49ers co-Owner Edward DeBartolo Jr. is "focusing on a $400,000 cash payment he made to former Gov. Edwin W. Edwards less than three weeks before his company obtained a casino license in Louisiana, according to people with knowledge of the probe" and cited by Laurie Cohen of the WALL STREET JOURNAL. The investigation began in fall '96 when the FBI wiretapped Edwards' home and law office (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 12/4). A source told the S.F. CHRONICLE that Federal agents "were listening" when DeBartolo "offered to pay" as much as $400,000 for the license and that he "got caught in an elaborate federal sting" aimed at Edwards. The source added: "There's no question who the government was after. Then along comes Eddie" (Fagan, Pimentel & Dietz, S.F. CHRONICLE, 12/4). In Baton Rouge, former Gov. Edwards said that the $383,500 that the FBI seized was paid to him by DeBartolo to "watch out for his interests." Edwards: "DeBartolo never asked me or intimated or suggested that I do anything improper, out of line, or unethical. And no one can say otherwise." He added that DeBartolo paid him the money this year, "well after" he left office (Peter Shinkle, Baton Rouge ADVOCATE, 12/4). If convicted, DeBartolo "could be banned for life" from the NFL (S.F. EXAMINER, 12/3). SPEAKS TO THE TEAM: 49ers President Carmen Policy said that DeBartolo had spoken to the team in a "closed meeting." He said a "somewhat emotional but controlled" DeBartolo told players that he was "committed to the team's future and would be back" (S.F. EXAMINER, 12/3). Policy added that DeBartolo's "pending indictment" would not affect the team and that "there would be no impediment" to the team's new stadium project. Policy: "The DeBartolo Corp. is doing quite well. They will be able to withstand whatever ramifications." He "rejected" suggestions that DeBartolo and his sister, Denise DeBartolo York, who is a 50% partner in the team, "would be forced to sell because of the legal problems" (Fagan, Pimentel & Dietz, S.F. CHRONICLE, 12/4). In San Jose, Mark Purdy calls DeBartolo's resignation "overrated," and quotes one NFL team exec as saying, "Around the league, I think most people will believe that Ed DeBartolo is still going to play some part in major 49er decisions" (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 12/4). In S.F., Ray Ratto wrote under the header, "Business As Usual? If So, It May Get Rocky." Ratto: "One wonders if York's ambitions are contained by her familial ties. One wonders if DeBartolo really did resign in more than just name. One wonders whether the NFL would bother to do anything to him even if he is convicted. ... I think we're going to have to let this play out a while" (S.F. EXAMINER, 12/3). NOTES: A SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS editorial states: "Whatever the legal outcome of this matter, [DeBartolo's] image in the Bay area will never be quite the same" (MERCURY NEWS, 12/4)....Also in San Jose, Herhold & Carey examine the NFL's guidelines on gambling. DeBartolo's ownership of the 49ers as "he embarked on a bold, two-year venture into the gaming industry was made possible by the [NFL's] lenient restrictions on gambling, as far as owners are concerned." NFL execs said yesterday that while they were "concerned" over his gaming initiatives, they had taken "no firm stand against his activities" (MERCURY NEWS, 12/4).

(October 11, 2012) -- The Exceptional Family Member Program teamed up with the Equal Opportunity Office to bring back the Assistive Technology Expo to Fort Rucker that features the latest technology to help disabled active-duty military members, Families and the civilian workforce.
The expo will be in the lobby of Bldg. 5700 Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., where people can explore some assistive technologies that different agencies will have on display, as well as talk to representatives and ask questions, said Marion Cornish, EFMP manager.
"This expo is an opportunity for different agencies to come on Fort Rucker and show different devices that help individuals with various types of disabilities, and help improve their quality of life," she said. "Representatives from these agencies will be on hand to answer any questions that people might have about certain disabilities or any technologies that they might need to help their loved one."
Assistive technology is any type of technology that can be used to assist disabled people, ranging from a modified computer program for someone with a learning disability, or a doorbell that turns on a light for the hearing impaired, according to the EFMP manager.
"It can be anything really," said Cornish. "It could be something as simple as modifying the settings on an electronic device to meet someone's specific needs. It doesn't have to be a physical piece of hardware, it can be software related as well."
The expo comes about in conjunction with National Disability Employment Awareness Month and offers an interactive way for people to get information about assistive technology rather than having a static display or pamphlets for people to read, said the EFMP manager.
"The goal is to get more outreach and more awareness," she said. "If we read something on a piece of paper or just in an email, it's not going to be as well received. By having the representatives there, it will be more a more involved type of learning and people can ask their questions."
One of the agencies that will be participating in the expo is the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation, which will have two representatives from two different departments in their organization: children's rehabilitation services and vocational services.
"This is just an example of one organization that will be there to assist people," said Cornish. "The people from the children's side will have information on how to help children become more mobile and successful in their daily lives, and those on the vocational side can talk to people with disabilities and inform them on how they could either get into the workforce, or if they are already in the workforce, how they can go about getting assistance if they need some form of assistive technology."
Something that will be different at this year's expo is the inclusion of the Veteran's Administration, which Cornish said was a welcome addition.
"I'm really excited about the having the Veteran's Administration representative at this year's expo because we do have a lot of veterans here on Fort Rucker," she said. "If any veterans are looking for employment opportunities, this is a good opportunity for them to come out and ask about it. We want to appeal to everybody this year."
Appealing to more than just active-duty military and their Families is one of the main goals of the expo, which is why EEO wants to encompass the civilian workforce and reach out and educate a broader audience, said Cornish.
"Sometimes Families may not be aware that they have a loved one with special needs, or some Families might not know that some of these [assistive technologies] exist," she said. "Once we're able to expose them to some of the possibilities or agencies that might be able to assist them, it helps them in the long run."

The Guinness Premiership clubs will come together at Tewkesbury on Sunday, September 2 for a fabulous fun day, designed to not only raise funds for the victims of July's floods but to say a special thank you to everyone involved in the rescue effort.
Although the highlight of the day will be a touch rugby tournament that is open to both corporate companies and the general public - with players from both clubs on hand to pass on invaluable tips to teams taking part.
Tom Ryder, Community Manager at Worcester Warriors, said: "We have been overwhelmed by the support that Rugby Relief has received from individuals, corporate organisations and statutory bodies who have assisted in making the day possible.
"With a significant amount of money already raised, I would encourage any fans of rugby, families and people who are supportive of flood relief efforts to show their support by attending Tewkesbury Rugby Club on Sunday.
Rugby Relief starts at 11am and Worcester's playing squad will be available to sign autographs and help with coaching tips.
After the touch rugby event, an auction, a band and a hog roast will ensure the event carries on into the evening. The auction will help raise significant funds for the flood relief fund as items such as signed sporting memorabilia, a week's break in Ireland for 10 and hospitality boxes at both Sixways and Kingsholm are up for grabs, so come along and help raise as much money as possible.

A U.S. Franciscan woman religious was elected May 13 to lead the Union of International General Superiors, the worldwide network that bonds some 600,000 women religious.
Franciscan Daughter of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Mary Lou Wirtz, took over from Scottish born UISG president, Sister of Notre Dame de Sion, Maureen Cusick.
The election by the UISG Council of Delegates took place following a five-day gathering of the organization's general assembly, which drew some 800 general superiors to Rome.
The UISG is an outgrowth of the Second Vatican Council. It is a canonically approved organization of general superiors of institutes of Catholic women religious and is intended to provide an international forum in which women religious leaders can share experiences, exchange information, and set directions for their work.
Wirtz has been the general superior for the Daughters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary for the past year. That congregation's mission includes:
- prayer for the church, particularly through adoration of our Eucharistic Lord;
- care of neglected children and the sick; and
- Other works of charity according to the needs of the times within the scope of the goal of the congregation.

Ten years ago I walked the rows through Craggy Range's Gimblett Gravels in Hawke's Bay with the New Zealand winery's director of wine and viticulture, Steve Smith, and Doug Wisor, its oenologist, a young American once described in a Craggy Range media release as "our pinot noir nutter".
It took just a few words exchanged with Wisor to know he understood wine – and not all winemakers or viticulturists do. Sadly, a few years after his appointment, he died in a kite-surfing accident.
Walking through an immaculately tended merlot block, Smith stopped and plucked off a few leaves. A bit further along he did the same to another vine.
Why that number of leaves, I wanted to know. He shrugged: "It just looks right."
The field showed vine after vine of foliage and meticulously arranged bunches of grapes. Plenty of light penetrated the canopy, yet just enough shade to protect the grapes from too much sunlight.
A decade on and I'm wandering Craggy Range's Martinborough vineyard, Te Muna, now a producer of pinot noir, sauvignon blanc and various white-skinned aromatic varieties (such as riesling, gewürztraminer). I reckon you could be taken into any Craggy Range vineyard blindfolded and you'd know who was responsible for what is known as the vine architecture. And if Smith could be compared to an architect working in glass and steel, it would be Norman Foster, as far as light goes.
Smith says: "We are now able to achieve this canopy with two-thirds of the work."
In other words it has taken 10 years for the vines to become fully integrated with the land. Livestock was farmed on the vast, river-terrace property before it was bought by Brisbane-based businessman Terry Peabody (and family), and it took a lot of work to prepare the soil for vines.
"This land has been compacted by livestock over a period of 150 years," Smith says. "So for every metre planted, we ripped down to a metre." Little wonder that it takes vines so long to become adapted to these surroundings.
Smith says he didn't fully understand the place until he decamped from his Hawke's Bay base for the 2010-11 growing season.
It's with sense of pride and wonderment that he observes: "Here in the vineyard we don't see the sea, but if you stand up at the house you can see the Awatere and Wairau valleys [in Marlborough, south over Cook Strait]. And with good binoculars you can see the South Pole."
The weather from these parts has a profound effect on how the vines grow and behave. Smith was unhappy with the way chardonnay was behaving in the vineyard so they grafted it all over in 2005.
But judging from wines we tasted of the 2002 to 2011 vintages, pinot noir is settling down in the land extremely comfortably. The 2010 and 2008 vintages, especially, are stellar wines and they will age well for at least another five years.
The 2002 to 2004 vintages, made by Wisor, were also looking pretty good for their age. They were crafted in a deliberately challenging and "Californian" fashion because, Smith says, "sometimes you need to know how far you can go before you take a step back".
These older wines, curiously, reminded me style-wise of old Calera wines from Mount Harlan, which I tasted just recently. Wisor's wines are in fine company.
Sapid, souk-like spices plus dark, shiny fruitcake and luminous carbon paper. Pepper and deep fruit aplenty in the mouth with spice densely woven through. Fine tannins and finessed oak treatment. 95/100, $45
Te Muna Road Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011 [Martinborough, NZ] Light, fragrant mossy and maraschino cherry. Gentle, wet , leafy. Silky fruit flesh on the tongue, with succulence that lingers. Finishes with a smidge of toffee crisp. 93/100, $56
Calvert Vineyard Pinot Noir 2010 [Central Otago, NZ]Deep sexy-smelling, strawberry pippy creamy. Fab in the mouth: has structural build and then reduced succulence. Mouth-sucking and vividly flavoured. 94(95)/100, $56
Out of 100 = empiric rating

Howard cautions against poll boost
Page Tools
Prime Minister John Howard warned his MPs and senators not to get too carried away by the latest polls today as parliament resumed for the spring session.
Mr Howard was giving away few clues as to the timing of the coming election, telling Liberal MPs the election was five weeks closer than it was when parliament last sat in late June.
The latest Newspoll in The Australian newspaper found the government's primary vote had slowly built up over the past three months - to 45 per cent at the weekend against the ALP's 40 per cent.
On a two-party basis, the government and ALP were even on 50 per cent each, making the outcome of the next election too close to call.
Mr Howard cautioned against reading too much into strengthening support for the government.
"Don't get carried away with the Newspoll," a spokesman quoted Mr Howard as telling a meeting of coalition MPs and senators.
"The trend is good, but don't get carried away."
Mr Howard said over the past five weeks, he had detected a growing reluctance by voters to trust an untried and unpredictable opposition leader.
He attacked Mr Latham over Labor's stand on the free trade deal with the United States, for his foreign policies on restarting sea border negotiations with East Timor and over his promise to bring troops home from Iraq by Christmas.
Government MPs earlier said the Newspoll showed voters were starting to question Mr Latham's leadership.
But Labor MPs said the poll boost could be attributed to government advertising.
West Australian Labor MP Graham Edwards said it was not surprising given the government's tactics.
"Who'd be surprised given the filthy, personal, political game that the Liberals have been playing and the way they've directed their personal attacks on Mark Latham?" Mr Edwards told reporters.
"The sooner we can get into the real campaign and start spending our own political money instead of the taxpayers' - like the prime minister's doing - the sooner we can get on with letting Australia make a choice."
Labor homeland security spokesman Robert McClelland said the government had spent an unprecedented amount on advertising.
"Certainly, when the election's called that's got to stop," he said.
"We'll be right amongst the policy debate - one on one with the government - that's where I think things are going to solidify in terms of people making up their mind as to who they want to elect."
Queensland Liberal MP Peter Dutton said the current political debate was finding cracks in Mr Latham's leadership credentials.
"I think the upcoming election's going to be very, very close - in seats like mine (Dickson) every vote will count," Mr Dutton told reporters.

Top 3D Printing Stocks – ExOne (XONE)
Market Cap: $771 million
YTD Performance: 101%
ExOne (XONE) is the smallest of the larger 3D printing stocks. Indeed, it is indisputably a small cap — and not that far removed from having been a microcap. But after doubling so far in 2013, XONE stock is gunning for midcap status in the not-too-distant future.
ExOne specializes in 3D printers that allow designers and engineers to produce both prototypes and production parts, and has found a place in everything from the automotive to energy industries.
In a blow to the 3D printing stocks sector, XONE stock recently sold off after reporting a tough third quarter. ExOne posted a surprise loss of 2 cents a share when Wall Street was looking for a profit of a penny per share of XONE stock. Additionally, revenue of $11.6 million missed analysts' average forecast by $600,000.
On a more positive note, XONE did report its first-ever operating profit. And although revenue missed projections, it still grew nearly 37% year-over year. XONE stock analysts haven't put a long-term growth forecast on ExOne.
But it still joins DDD stock and SSYS stock as one of the best 3D printing stocks to consider.
As of this writing, Dan Burrows did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

UK Immigration Law
Have UK Immigration Law Questions? Get Answers Now.
Thanks for the Clarification.
If you are not planning to Studty in the UK, the only way you will be able to make an application for a Visa longer thanm 6 months is to make an application for a Visa under one of the other categories under the Points Based System.
A visit, business or sports visit visa may be valid for 2, 5 or 10 years.
Generally visit visas are valid for six months. But they can be issued for longer, for 1,2,5 or 10 years. However, those with longer term visas can still only stay in the UK for six months at any one time, other than Academic Visitors and parents of children at school as outlined above. Longer term visas are generally issued to frequent travellers.
What you are referring to is a multi-entry Visitors Visa for a specific period of time.
If you are a sports person in the UK, a Visitors Visa would not allow you to work.
Sorry I sent that last one too early. This is what I found off of ukvisas.gov.uk. Would this be something I could apply for? I have found in other places that a sports visit visa is only valid for 6 months but here it says otherwise.
I am not looking to work.
Can I apply for an extension/visa within the UK?
A multi entry visa is what you could apply for, however, my concern is tha a visitors visa will not allow you to work in any capacity, howevere, a sports visa will.
If you wish to make an application for a multi-entry visa, you will have to make tha appropriate application to the Home Office.
If you are currently on a Sports Visa, you can submit a fresh application to extend or vary your Leave whilst in the UK.
Which site are you downloading the forms from?
Click on the following link for further details:
I hope this helps. If so, kindly click accept.
If you wish to discuss, please feel free to ask further questions.
Kind regards,
Sorry, but can I have the link for the multiple-entry visitor visa instead of the sportsperson? Thanks.
Can I please just have the link for the multiple-entry visitor visa? I would not fit under Tier 2 sportsperson because it is not professional and I'm not elite competing at the highest level.
Is the form on this page the same as I'd use for a multiple-entry or longer term visa? This is my concern from the website link you gave me that leads me to believe this form would only grant me an additional six months:
If we gave you permission to enter for three months and you would like to extend your stay to the maximum of six (or 12) months in total, you will need to apply for an extension using the application form FLR(O).
Sorry I have a few more questions, but I just want to make sure I do what is right/best the first time around.
Is the extension from the time my first visa expires or from the time they process it?
If it is from when they process, would it be smarter to send it in a few days before my current visa expires (in case I don't get the 20 month request accepted) so as to have a slightly longer stay?
If I ask for 20 months and they deny it, would they grant me 6 months instead or just refuse the whole application?
Thanks in advance.

A charismatic liberal candidate convinces voters to reject the center-right as "uncaring extremists," and carries the election. The conservatives are confused and demoralized. The party battles internally about whether to blame the defeat on too much ideological purity, or not enough. This may sound familiar. But I'm referring to the British Conservative Party in 2005, after the center-left Tony Blair strolled to another victory (his third) in the UK's general election. Conservatives wondered if they'd ever win again, and some despaired for the future of their country -- with power seemingly unobtainable. Yet five years later they were back in government.

Behind Closed Doors
Mayor Curley of Boston defined an honest politician as one who when bought stays bought. Alan Dukes once used the phrase in cabinet to Dick Spring when the tetchy Mr. Spring had to lump it over some decision or other.
Thomas Gildea fits this definition to a tee. He is an honest politician. He made a deal with Bertie Ahern whereby he would get certain special consideration for his constituency representations in exchange for his support. He has stuck to his side of the agreement.
This latest test to his resolve could not have been easy - he was one of the vocal accusers of that Letterkenny Gardai clique in regard to the explosion at the mast in Ardara. The easy and popular thing to do would have been to go against the Government on the Dail vote. You can rest assured he would have had a serious detailed discussion with the Justice minister on the issue. He must have received sufficient assurance that nothing was being swept under the carpet. So he was able to continue his support of the government in good conscience where someone more wily would have gone the populist route.
Nevertheless, he was under pressure and felt he had to defend himself. The pressure was being exerted by the parties which were in power when the T.V. deflector issue was at its height and M.M.D.S was issuing writs against the protesters and had the backing of the government in pursuing this course. The Department of Justice, through the guards, was the visible culprit in the eyes of the protestors. Many harsh things were said and the campaign was often personalised against Ministers and Gardai. The former minister Ray Burke received particular mention. It was a time when sleaze at the top was being exposed. Michael Lowry, who was Minister in charge of Telecoms, had just been sacked from cabinet.
It is in this context of tribunal exposure of the Dublin golden circles that Thomas Gildea, an honest politician, lashed out when forced to defend himself. He personalised the matter as he and his supporters have always done. Indeeed as is always the case in political fights. Nobody for an instant believes that Nora Owens personally received money by way of bribe from M.M.D.S. Would we believe similarly of Ray Burke or Michael Lowry? Would we believe that MMDS would not stoop so low as to make a large political contribution? Companies connected to the OReillys have already been exposed to revelations of political donations and the OReillys and the Independent media group are connected to MMDS.
Fine Gael has never revealed details of the funding received in 1995 and 1996 that enabled the party to clear its large debt imbalance. Repeatedly, they have been asked for this information - all such requests have been ignored. Nora Owen should now demand that her party give this full information and so clear her good name absolutely.
The Department of Justice has also been involved in providing masts to some Telecoms and the tribunals have raised questions about contributions from one or other of these Telecom companies to Fine Gael.
Of course the counter attack was mounted against Thomas Gildea and boy - was it not personalised?
Thomas Gildea speaks with a Glenties Donegal accent; he hardly ever speaks in the Dail, so he must be stupid and inarticulate; he could not possibly be able to write out his own words; he looks and acts like a bogman; he is speaking out now as an election is close - cute hoorism in another words.
I think it is incumbent on us in Donegal to put the record straight.
Thomas Gildea TD for Donegal South West is not only an honest politican of whom we can be proud but he is a man true to his own place and yes - he speaks like somebody born and reared in McGill country.
Thomas Gildea, like Patrick McGill, is far from being stupid or inarticulate; he and his supporters ran a very clever political campaign to get elected as an Independent. How many of todays front benchers would have made it to the Dail running as Independents!
Thomas Gildea is well able to write; his election literature is always clear and meaningful, devoid of stereotype platitudes. The fact that Patrick McGill could possibly write must also be a surprise to many people with pretensions; McGill was off to the hiring fairs at ten years of age, so his schooling was very light.
Thomas Gildea is as God made him, modest, reserved yet decent and becoming - would that there were more like him in the political field.
Thomas Gildea did not make any calculation as to publicity and the gaining of votes on making his Dail comments. He spoke and explained his vote because he felt he had to, in order that supporters would understand that he was remaining true to previously stated convictions and being consistent in the face of allegations of the opposite. There are no votes for him in this issue on the stand he took.
There are some politicians, notably Jim Higgins of Mayo and Brendan Howlin of Wexford, milking the killing of Richie Barron for all it is worth. Now I know there are quite a few Mayo guards in Donegal but where is Howlin from Wexford coming from? These two front benchers should more fully explain their roles and maybe then we might see some cute hoorism. There were some political donations along the way here too. The fact is that Richie Barron was killed but it does not seem to be of central interest.
This column holds no brief for Thomas Gildea but he has demonstrated his honour and his commitment to his own people and not just since he became a T.D. - and this current fracas underlines that he is an honest politician within the already stated definition of Mayor Curley.
Fine Gael have done Donegal Town the honour of giving us a local man to vote for at the next General Election. Big Jimmy McGroary is to be their candidate in the South of the county.
Jimmy is a life-long Fine Gaeler as was his father before him. Jimmy the Tailor worked in Mick Harveys and then Charlie Harveys and with wee Charlie was a G.A.A. enthusiast and a Four Masters official for many years.
Jimmy i.e. Big Jimmy, then taught for many years under Mick Harveys grandson J.J. - such are the connections in a small town. Many of his fellow teachers have been Fine Gael supporters through the years. If the local community give their support as they should, then he would have a base to build a good vote.
In the last election Manus Brennan stood for Labour, which was an uphill battle in traditionalist Donegal. With the aid of those teaching colleagues Jimmy could do better under the Fine Gael banner.
There are six vocational schools in this area, so if those teachers were to form an elect Jimmy committee and devise and implement an election strategy to assist the Fine Gael party, then the sparks could fly. The best brains of the area, who are not short of the required political noos should be able to give Dinny and Mary a run for their money.
But listen - there will be no £27 per hour available.
