Appy notes: Unroe undaunted by dual role
Rays prospect splitting his time between shortstop and second base
By Bob Sutton / Special to MiLB.com | July 17, 2014 10:00 AM ET
Riley Unroe is becoming accustomed to multiple roles with the Princeton Rays. Playing three days as a shortstop and then three games as a second baseman is part of the plan. It's a routine that could increase his value as he makes his way through the Tampa Bay organization.
"It can be a challenge, but I have to get comfortable at both spots," said Unroe, a second-round pick in 2013.
Improving defensively is one of the priorities for the 18-year-old. Princeton manager Danny Sheaffer said Unroe's adapting to the dual roles.
"He's going to split it pretty much right now," Sheaffer said. "I think it will be good for his development."
Unroe said he considers himself a shortstop, so the move to the right side of the infield tends to cause the biggest adjustment. He went the first 17 games of the Appalachian League season without an error.
The bat has been working for Unroe, who through July 15 was one of six players in the league with a .300 or better batting average and at least nine extra-base hits.
Ranked as the No. 15 prospect in the Rays organization, Unroe said he pushed to make a full-season roster this year and, when that didn't happen, continued to strive to make an impression in extended spring training. He's one of several high Draft selections on the Princeton roster, joining 2013 draftees catcher Nick Ciuffo (first round) and outfielder Thomas Milone (third round).
"We're all buddies and hopefully we're moving along together," Unroe said.
Unroe said he benefitted from his father's input, with former big leaguer Tim Unroe offering advice along the way. The elder Unroe, though, didn't go through the Draft ordeal as it's done today.
"He never had to fill out a questionnaire," Riley Unroe said. "It's a little different experience for both of us."
Unroe chose to bypass a scholarship to Southern California in order to sign with the Rays.
"When I was drafted, [scouting director] R.J. Harrison told me it was going to be a process," Unroe said.
Part of that process meant restructuring off-field workouts. Unroe said he took weight-training so seriously in high school -- in part because he played wide receiver on the football team -- that he might have been too bulked up when he arrived in the Gulf Coast League a year ago.
"Just had to get back into baseball lifting," he said.
That's another area of versatility that's important, his manager said.
"You have to maintain your flexibility," Sheaffer said. "He's the type of player who's going to soon play seven days a week -- just not here right now."
In brief
Going places? The Johnson City Cardinals were briefly abandoned after a game in Greeneville, Tenn., when their bus driver walked off the job, leaving players and staff in the parking lot. Pitcher Ian McKinney and some of his teammates drew attention to the matter by sending out tweets during the predicament. "Our bus driver just left us," McKinney said later. "It was very surprising. I was in shock." The bus company's owner arrived some four hours later to take the team home, and the next morning the Cards had one of their longest treks to Burlington, N.C., where in the finale of a three-game set they snapped a seven-game losing streak.
Moon shots: Burlington Royals outfielder Logan Moon produced a total of two home runs during a four-year college career that included stops at Central Arkansas and Missouri Southern State. So when the sixth-round pick went deep twice during a three-inning span July 13 in a romp against Johnson City, it turned heads. "I caught them well," Moon said of the blasts. "I've changed since [early days of college]. I've gotten stronger."
Errors of their ways: The Kingsport Mets were charged with eight errors July 7 in a 16-11 victory against the visiting Pulaski Mariners. In their next five games, the Mets had a total of eight errors combined, but they went 2-3 in those outings.

Liguilla quarterfinals - second leg roundup
#5Tigres 1, #4Chiapas 0 (Tigres advances 3-1)
Tigres advanced to the Liguilla semifinals with a 1-0 win over Jaguares Saturday at Estadio Victor Manuel Reyna.
UANL win the aggregate-goal quarterfinal 3-1, and will face Toluca in the next round.
Andre Pierre-Gignac scored the only goal of the match, his second of the postseason, in the 21st minute. Rafael Sobis set the table with a pass to the top of the arc. The Frenchman chested the ball down, spun right and buried the shot.
Gignac also hit the crossbar before the intermission.
#3 Leon 2, #4 America 1
A 2-1 win over Club America Saturday at Estadio Nou Camp was not enough to lift Leon into the liguilla semifinals.
The Aguilas move on by a 5-3 aggregate score, and will face top-seeded Pumas for a berth in the Apertura championship.
Hernan Burbano put the Esmeraldas on the board in the 44th minute, after netminder Moises Munoz blocked a ball back into play.
Leon goalkeeper William Yarbrough did well to save back-to-back shots by Oribe Peralta and Darwin Quintero, but could not reach Dario Benedetto's long-range equalizer in the 78th. Elias Hernandez closed things out for Leon in the 83rd.
#1 Pumas 1, #8 Veracruz 0 (Pumas advance as higher seed after 1-1 aggregate draw)
Fidel Martinez's eighth-minute goal was enough to nudge top seeds Pumas into the Liguilla semifinals with a 1-0 win over #8 Veracruz Sunday at Estadio Olimpico Universitario.
UNAM advance as the higher seed after the series ended in a 1-1 aggregate draw, and will face Club America in the semis.
Both teams came out determined to seize the early advantage. Barely two minutes into the match, Tiburones playmaker Julio Furch sent a dangerous ball into the goalmouth for Fernando Meneses, but 'keeper Alejandro Palacios blocked the pass away before it reached its intended target.
Six minutes later, Martinez tapped the deciding shot over the line, capping a quick passing sequence that started with Daniel Luduena, whose through ball was relayed into the goalmouth by Ismael Sosa. Eduardo Herrera threatened to open up a 2-0 Pumas lead, but his shot was saved by netminder Meliton Hernandez in the 40th minute.
Furch had another solid chance for Veracruz in the 51st minute, just missing with a header, and Fidel Martinez sent the visitors' best opportunity of the match off the post in the 63rd.
#2 Toluca 1, #7 Puebla 0 (Toluca advances 3-2 on aggregate)
Toluca edged Puebla 1-0 Sunday at Estadio Nemesio Diez, and advances to the Liguilla semifinals by a 3-2 aggregate score.
The Diablos Rojos will face Tigres for a berth in the Gran Final.
Neither team had an abundance of chances. Alberto Acosta forced Diablos netminder Alfredo Talavera into a diving save in the 66th minute, and Carlos Esquivel sent a Toluca free kick clanging off the post in the 74th. Fernando Uribe scored the only goal of the match, chesting down a pass from Oscar Rojas and burying a shot in the 85th minute.

And who better to narrate the whole thing than Jesus himself? Or something as close to Jesus as we Brits can muster. Robert Powell, known from his roles in the 1977 series Jesus of Nazareth as well as The Thirty-Nine Steps (1978), Holby City and The Detectives, has been signed up to narrate the series which has already attracted 13 million viewers on cable in the States alone. Created by producer and three time Emmy Award winner Mark Burnett (The Voice, Survivor,The Apprentice) the five-part, 10-hour programme will air on Channel 5 in December. From the Old Testament's Genesis to the fire-breathing conclusion of the New Testament in the Book of Revelation, The Bible combines some of the best-known stories ever told with with live action and state-of-the-art computer-generated imagery. Taking Powell's old role as the Messiah is Portugese actor and former model Diogo Morgado who attracted a rather large if unholy following.... and eventually found himself trending as #hotjesus.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
I am 60 years old and female. Basically healthy. Been taking a prescribed water pill for borderline high blood pressure. Usually 135/70. I suspect I have sleep apnea since I snore and I actually feel my soft pallet block my throat at times. No pain during breathing, sometimes when I cough. Phlegm is in my lungs. I was making a horrible racket while attempting to sleep. Yes, I am a smoker, but no alcohol or drugs. it came on quickly. It began on Thursday with a slight raw feeling in my chest, Friday I felt all foggy, then at it hit me full force.
Why the pressure in the middle of my chest?

I like most music but my favourite types are heavy metal rock and folk.
Personality wise I am a fairly laid back, easy going type of bloke who enjoys getting out with mates as much as having a quite night in watching a movie.
I am outdoorsy, friendly, and adventurous. I generally spend a few weeks every year staying with my friends in Hungary if I can. They are Hungarian so I become completely immersed in the culture and absolutely love it.
I also notice I am pretty seriously lacking in photo's. Since becoming a photographer I have gradually built up an aversion to having my picture taken so unless I have been drinking or completely unaware I tend to avoid having it taken.
I am also spending quite a lot of time running at the moment as I am in training to run the 100km London 2 Brighton Challenge for Macmillan Cancer Support. If you want you can donate here - http://www.justgiving.com/Robins-London2Brighton
My favourite movies are Saving Grace, Grosse Point Blank and the Bourne Identity/Supremacy movies.
Favourite band is probably Iron Maiden.
Chinese is probably my favourite food but I will try anything.

Husband and I are moving.
Probably to Italy. Maybe France.
He doesn't know yet.
I dream of living, dining and drinking under the Tuscan sun or along the river Seine. Uncorking wine bottles for my daily fitness, eating pasta and homemade tomato sauce for lunch and dinner every day and desserting on gelato well past my bedtime. And I have no intention of gaining a single pound!
Doesn't that sound dreamy?
I could die living life like that in America!
I am not in La La Land, and my head is not in the clouds. This dream is not a dream.
According to MensHealth, countries across the pond eat more and weigh less. European countries like Italy and France do not have the high obesity rate ruining American health. These countries do not struggle with portion size and don't have as many problems with processed food and empty calories like America struggles.
But, why?
In order to find the truth, I have decided to leave my homeland and explore foreign cuisine. I am going undercover in Europe! Who wants to fund my trip? In the name of investigative reporting, of course. Anyone? Any takers? Please… No one, then? Oh, fine.
I guess I'll just do as the Americans do, and Google it! (I went to college. I know Google. We're besties.)
According to the MensHeath article, Spaniards eat slowly, taking their time with each bite. Italians avoid processed food (and I am a sinner eating pasta sauce from a jar). The French, much like the entirety of Europe, do not eat in front of a television. Meal time is a respected tradition: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Of course, European countries are not the only nations eating real, whole food and keeping their figures trim. According to a Diets In Review editorial intern, southeast Asian fare is better than the Chinese takeout most Americans are used to.
I should know.
I snarfed down Great Wall's Chicken and Broccoli with fried rice (not ALL of it) Monday night, and I am still feeling the after effects.
Ah, hindsight, you devious fiend!
Comparing my eating habits to those of the individuals living in European countries identifies a jarring reality. I struggle with portion control. I don't get the nutrients I need from the often processed foods I eat. I eat in front of the television… and I don't even have cable to distract! (But I do own every season of Charmed.)
From now on, I am going to make a conscious effort to control my portion sizes, eat less processed foods and stay away from television when food is in my hand.
I am also going to stop fearing food.
Another little tidbit in the MensHealth article: in other countries, people respect food. I fear almost every calorie I eat and drink, but I don't have to.
What are some of the most insightful things you have learned from foreign cuisine? Please share so that we, too, can learn for our neighbors.

Alignment Star Charts
ASCs are star charts made to assist you in aligning your computerized GoTo telescope. While they are all based on one of two template star charts that display from 60 to -60 degrees declination, the alignment stars are labeled by the same name that is used in the telescope's computer. Where a star chart has two names, those computers share the same list. With the advent of the CG-5/CGE chart, we have gone to an "abbreviated" ASC. These two GoTo scope use a database of alignment stars that includes many 3rd, 4th, and some 5th magnitude stars. While this is laudable, it gives a database of 250 named stars. To simplify the chart, only stars of brighter than 3rd magnitude stars are shown as these are the stars most likely to be used. The chart for these telescopes contains about 130 stars and is quite acceptable for aligning these scopes.
All of these charts are on 8.5"x11" paper and can be bound into the Telrad Finder Charts which are the same format.
Here are two samples of our star charts. The second ( for scopes that use many more alignment stars) has half of the chart on each side of a page to provide room for more stars.
Format 1: For scopes with 20-100 alignment Stars
Format 2: (both sides of sheet) for scopes with 100-200 alignment stars. Hash marks at each hour RA.
ASCs are available for many GoTo telescopes. If you have one not on the list and wish to have one made, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I am happy to make one up for most systems out there. I will need from you a list of the alignment stars for your system. Sometimes the manufacturer can send you one. Alternatively you can write the list while scrolling through the alignment stars on your computer.
Note: If you purchase an ASC at the same time as one of our Telrad Finder Charts, the ASC or other star chart can be bound in as the last page of the book at no charge. Just request it!

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
I am sorry to hear about Megan.
My name is Rebecca. I am a veterinarian, and will do my best to help.
If you look at her eyes, do they twitch back and forth? It can be subtle, but if you look close, you might see this.
yes. right eye twitching
There is a condition we see in older dogs, that comes on suddenly. They circle or walk to one side, can't stand up without falling, and sometimes have a head tilt. These dogs will have nystagmus, rhythmic twitching of the eyes.
In many cases, this is a acute loss of balance, due to inflammation in the vestibular area of the brain.
It can be brought on by a stroke or a brain tumor, but more often we do not know the cause, and the dogs get better in a few days to a week or so.
It is called "idiopathic vestibular syndrome" or "old dog vestibular syndrome".
Meclizine, which is available here in the US over the counter, can be helpful.
Does she need emergency treatment tonight ? Is there any treatment?
You might want to have her examined to confirm this is what she has. If she does, there is no treatment ( except to try the meclizine) but time.
You could do an MRI brain scan to look for a cause. If there is a tumor or a blood clot, it would be seen on MRI. But, if it is idiopathic vestibular syndrome of older dogs, even a brain scan would look normal.
So you could just observe her at home, and give the meclizine. If it is what I suspect, she should show improvement in a day or two.
If she is not getting better in a day or so, I would definitely have her examined. Usually vestibular syndrome does show some improvement in a day or two. Usually when it first starts that is the worse they are, they do not get worse with time, but better.
Is there anything else I can answer, or help you with?
I am not seeing responses from you. I hope you can still see what I am writing.

One million tourists arrivals – the story behind the numbers
Mon, Jan 21, 2013, 09:17 am SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Jan 20 (ETN) There has been great publicity in the press celebrating the arrival of the 1 millionth foreign tourist to Sri Lanka for the year 2012 during late December 2012.
While certainly this is a great milestone that Sri Lanka tourism has reached, what does this really mean strategically for Sri Lanka tourism?
The Magical 1 Million Milestone
Certainly arrival statistics are one of the most important tourism data that is tracked the world over. The maximum arrivals that Sri Lanka ever achieved, during the past hey-days of tourism was around 550,000. Subsequently, it dipped to around 450,000 during the past few years of the conflict. Hence, there is no question, that there has been a spectacular increase of arrivals in the past 3 years, returning double-digit increases year-on-year, to reach the magical 1 million figure.
It is interestingly coincident that world tourism figures are also following a similar trend and timing as that of Sri Lanka, where world tourist arrivals reached a record of 1 billion around the same time that Sri Lanka reached 1 million.
Is this Growth Sustainable?
In the post-war era, as already mentioned, Sri Lanka tourism grew spectacularly, recording YOY growth of 46% in 2010, 30% in 2011, and 17% in 2012.
These double-digit growth figures are much higher than the norm, and it is attributable, quite clearly to the cessation of hostilities, which ravaged the country for more than two decades, stiffening tourism growth. This pent-up tourism demand is typical of a destination which has had strife, and been in the news (most often for the wrong reasons), and being inaccessible for a long period, suddenly opening up to the world. A similar trend has been recorded in Cambodia and Vietnam, where, when the war in those countries was stopped, tourism grew dramatically.
Hence, it is quite obvious, therefore, that this pent-up demand will naturally, slowly reduce overtime, leaving the destination to grow in the normal organic fashion – unless, of course, there is a strong destination branding and promotional campaign to take advantage of this situation and stimulate demand further.
Sri Lanka's monthly growth in the post-war era already is beginning to show this typical declining trend, and serious promotional and destination branding interventions will urgently be required to sustain this growth in the long term.
Beyond the Numbers
There has also been controversy about whether the arrival numbers reflected, are actual foreign tourists. The writer has on a previous occasion, analyzed this phenomena and concluded that there is definitely a "diaspora leakage element" in the arrival figures. The writer's research, utilizing published tourist arrival figures and comparing it to foreign guest nights, as recorded by registered tourist hotels, indicate that there could be an error margin of 15-20%.
These "tourists," as recorded by the Department of Emigration, are foreign passport holders, but are actually Sri Lankan expatriates returning to visit friends and relatives (VFRs) who would normally not patronize hotels, but stay with "friends and relatives." In these "leakage" figures there is also a component of Maldivian visitors coming across for short business trips, who, though counted as tourists, are not really the conventional leisure tourist.
However, the important factor is that this error margin has been inherently prevalent over the years, and, therefore, the variance has been fairly consistent.
Therefore, quite possibly the actual foreign leisure tourist arrivals could well be in the order only of 800,000 for 2013.
Any tourism professional knows that numbers alone do not make any business sense. We can have 1 million tourists paying US$50 for a room, while 500,000 tourists paying US$100 will also bring in the same revenue. Hence, while tourist arrival numbers are important, it must always be backed up and compared with the revenue that has been achieved.
On this count, Sri Lanka is doing pretty well, because the overall corresponding revenue figures have also shown strong growth, increasing from about US$400 million a few years ago, to close upon US$1 billion 2012. This is also borne out from the per night tourist spend which has also increased from around US$80 per tourist per night, to around US$100 per tourist per night. This is indeed a very healthy trend, where both arrivals and revenues have kept pace.
However, one must guard against being complacent, since there has been a dramatic hotel rate increase in the post war years, which is probably accounting for this high growth in revenue. The devaluation of the rupee also would have had an effect. Certainly a price correction was needed in the post-war period, given that for decades Sri Lanka was an undersold, cheap destination. There are some indications, however, beginning to emerge that perhaps there has been an over-correction, resulting in Sri Lankan hotel rates becoming uncompetitive in the region.

Volume 11, Issue 2: Childer
Douglas Wilson
At some point, somebody with advertising authority decided that a lot of valuable advertising space was being neglected-there were simply acres of empty space just sitting there on tee-shirts, shoes, ball caps, warm-up jackets, and so forth. And so then another somebody decided that they could get a warm-hearted general public to fill up these extra spaces with various corporate insignia. But unlike billboard advertising, where the advertiser pays money to hawk his wares, our new form of most cool wear requires the one giving the advertising space to pay money to the company for the privilege of walking around decorated by them.

Hiring an Image ConsultantSubmitted by SharpMan Editorial Team on Monday 11th October 2010
- What does an image consultant do?
- Why would you need one?
- How to find a good consultant.
- Tips for a successful consultation.
Image can be pretty important. SharpMen are judged every day on their appearance and "look." The image you present to colleagues, managers and your boss can translate into a fast track — if you know how to present yourself. But do you know how? If not, an image consultant can help. That's where these SharpGrooming tips come in:
What Does an Image Consultant Do?
Basically, an image consultant helps you dress and groom yourself in a way that will accentuate your strong points and present a confident and stylish image. He or she has an understanding of colors, fabrics, dress requirements, trends in fashion and hair and skin care. A good consultant should combine these skills to "design" a look and plan a wardrobe for you aimed at making the world sit up and pay attention.
Why Would You Need One?
Good question. Hiring any consultant will cost you money, so why bother paying for something you should be able to do yourself? Well, consider this: do you do your own taxes? Many SharpMen do. Of course, every now and again, even the most confident preparer turns to a professional with a sticky question. In fact, it often turns out that getting professional advice clues you into tax savings you had never considered!
Image preparation works the same way. Sometimes it's worth paying for a professional opinion. In fact, quite often your image consultant will clue you in on flattering attire that you had never considered (and stop you from wearing things that you never realized were unflattering). Aside from that, you may want to consider enlisting the help of an image consultant because:
- You've heard that some styles flatter different body types and some colors flatter different skin and hair colors, and you'd like to know what looks "best" on you.
- You know your style of dress is out of date but you're not sure how to update it.
- You look much younger than you are and find that people don't take you seriously as a result. You'd like to change your image to match your age.
- You've heard the saying "Dress for the job you want," but don't know where to start.
- Your work colleague always seems to wear just the right thing for every occasion and you want to know what his secret is.
- You feel you must present a professional, corporate image but don't know how. Alternatively, you want to present a professional image in a business casual environment, but don't know how.
- You want to shop for the best quality clothing but don't know where to start, or where to get quality within your budget.
- You have a hugely important meeting/interview/function coming up and you want to look your absolute best.
If any of these considerations ring true for you, consider engaging an image consultant. Not sure how much you'll have to shell out or where to find one? Read on:
Will You Have to Break the Bank?
Oddly enough, no. Sure, there are super-pricey image consultants out there, but you'll also find plenty of "normal people's" consultants in all area codes. In fact, many image consultants also work at different fee levels with their clients. Very often you'll have a choice of the "full enchilada" package (assessments, shopping, training, etc.), or simply the color assessment and an hourly fee for having the consultant go shopping with you or go through your existing wardrobe. In other words, hiring an image consultant won't be so expensive that you won't have any cash to spend on your "new image."
Also realize that hiring an image consultant won't necessarily require you to spring for a whole new wardrobe. If you prefer, your consultant will go through your existing collection of duds, throw out (or give away) the items that don't flatter you and advise you to sparingly add a few items that will complement and update the clothing you already own.
How to Find a Good Consultant
Not all consultants are made equal. For this reason we advise taking the extra time to find the one that's right for you:
Search a reliable directory. The Association of Image Consultants International (http://www.aici.org/) is a good starting point. The association's Web site will give you a list of certified consultants. "Certified" means that each consultant must meet certain professional standards set down by the organization — important in a largely unregulated industry.
Talk to more than one. Plan to call more than one consultant. Spend some time talking to each consultant over the phone. Do you feel comfortable with him or her? Establishing a rapport with a potential consultant is important — you must be comfortable with the person entrusted with your all-important image.
Ask for and check references. It is acceptable to ask for references and check them. A reputable consultant will be happy (and proud) to list some past clients who will vouch for his or her good work.
Ask about work methods. Be wary of the consultant who likes to do "complete makeovers." That is not what you want. A good consultant should build on the attributes you already have and mold your image around that — not change you completely.
Tips for a Successful Consultation
Most consultants charge their clients an hourly fee. For this reason, understanding the scope of services and "preparing" for your time with your consultant is crucial to getting the best value for your money. Before engaging or seeing your consultant, consider the following:
Get everything in writing. It's always a good idea to get the hourly fee and the estimate of required hours in writing before you start the consultation. After all, better safe than sorry.
Know what you want. It's also important to think about what you'd like to achieve before you meet with or even talk to a potential consultant. Try to condense your goals down to "I'd like to look better in my clothing" or "I'm trying to develop a more professional image." In other words, how are you planning to use your "new image?" Take another look at the list above as a guideline.
Be prepared for criticism. Realize that engaging an image consultant will necessarily require you to re-examine your existing "look" and possibly even receive some criticism. Don't take it personally.
Don't resist change. Resisting change is natural, but since you're paying for this advice, consider taking it.
Take the video option. Many consultants offer their clients the option of making a video of the consultation. Do it. It'll be a great resource now and in the future.
Seek a second opinion. If you find that you are uncomfortable with the "look" recommended by your image consultant, don't hesitate to get a second opinion. Consultations and advice regarding what looks "best" are always subjective. Make sure you agree with their "best" before signing off on the goods, or on your look.
Store the advice. While you may only meet with your image consultant once or twice, the advice should last must longer. Maximize on your meeting by listening carefully and taking notes or recording the conversation for future reference. You'll find that your consultant's tips on color, style, skin care and more will be useful for many years to come.This article last updated on Wednesday 13th October 2010

Wilma, a slow-moving 'monster', batters Mexico
Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
Page Tools
A satellite image taken for the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows the eyewall of hurricane Wilma which hit Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula yesterday.

Hurricane Wilma flooded Mexico's Caribbean beach resorts, smashed homes and killed at least two people yesterday in a slow-moving rampage across the Yucatan peninsula.
Howling 185 kph winds collapsed buildings, uprooted trees and confined thousands of worried tourists to cramped, sweltering shelters for a third day.
Two people died at the resort town of Playa del Carmen, which is popular with Europeans, when a gas tank exploded, the state governor said.
"It's a monster. It is roaring all the time," said Guadalupe Torroella, a resident in the low-lying resort city of Cancun, where the sea rushed onto the land and flooded many international hotels.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said six Australians were in a shelter at a Cancun shopping centre. DFAT believed another Australian had sought refuge at a shelter in Playa de Carmen.
Florida was next in line for a battering. Authorities there ordered mandatory evacuations, starting with 80,000 residents of the vulnerable Florida Keys.
The longer Wilma stays over Yucatan, the weaker it will be when it heads across the Gulf of Mexico toward Florida, expected later today.
It has already lost some strength, and was downgraded to a Category 3 on the five-stage Saffir-Simpson scale, but is still strong enough to cause massive damage and take more lives.
Resort island Cozumel, popular with scuba divers, took the brunt of the storm yesterday and most communications were cut.
At least five flimsy homes in Playa del Carmen were knocked down and much of the town was flooded with knee-high seawater.
In one shelter converted from a kindergarten, 40 migrant workers huddled in a small, damp room. They had only eaten half a can of tuna each in the past 24 hours.
"We need water, food and clothes," pleaded Carlos Vaca, a construction worker from the state of Tabasco.
"I have lived through three hurricanes and this is the worst," said Alberto Pat, head of Playa del Carmen's tourist police force, which was patrolling to prevent looting.
The front of one store in the town was ripped off, a bus station roof had collapsed, and cars lay crushed by fallen trees. At a nearby jail, five prisoners escaped into the jungle after a fence blew down.
"Never in history have we seen something like this," Felix Gonzalez, the governor of the state of Quintana Roo, told CNN, adding that the explosion of a gas tank in Playa del Carmen had killed two and injured several others.
The Yucatan peninsula, famous for its turquoise seas, white sand and Mayan ruins, has been lashed by Wilma since Thursday.
Wilma dumped 59 cm of rain yesterday on Isla Mujeres off Cancun, an unprecedented downpour for Mexico.
"We are talking about a record hurricane as far as rain is concerned," said meteorologist Alberto Hernandez. He said Wilma was unusually big with a diameter of 800 km.
Thousands of stranded tourists huddled nervously in dank, sweaty gymnasiums, hotels and schools as the luxury hotels and wooden beach cabins where many had stayed took a beating.
In one Playa del Carmen hotel doubling as a shelter where there has been no electricity or running water for two days, Scott Whitcher stood on his balcony and bathed in the rain.
"We are very fortunate to be in here. We were in a palm hut. I bet there is nothing left. I cannot wait for this to be over," the 38-year-old San Francisco resident said.
Wilma is expected to head off into the Gulf of Mexico once it finishes pounding Yucatan and could hit heavily populated southern Florida by Monday morning.

Outstanding performance
the new Demag V-type girder
Better precision, greater flexibility, improved quality – the requirements to be met by a materials handling solution also grow in line with increasingly globalised markets and ever new technical possibilities. The Demag V-type girder meets these demands with ease: its revolutionary design enables sensitive loads to be positioned more precisely, carefully and also more quickly. This improves the efficiency of your load handling operations – and raises your competitive edge to a completely new level.
Further details
Diaphragm joint
Tapered diaphragm joints – the secret for improved efficiency
The tapered diaphragm joints also replace the solid box-section design of conventional cranes – on average, the V-type crane is 17% lighter than comparable cranes that have box-section girders. This not only reduces the forces transmitted to the existing support superstructure and provides architects with greater freedom when planning new building layouts, but also improves the relative deadweight-to-load-capacity ratio.
Less wear – longer service life
Stiffeners arranged precisely at the tapered diaphragm joints give the revolutionary profile design greater rigidity – the V-type girder offers outstanding strength despite its light weight. The load-optimised design is also kind on all components used in the crane system. The result of the low-wear design: the V-type girder will easily manage more than 500,000 changes of loads, which corresponds to more than double the service life of conventional box-section girders.
Less material – improved safety
Compared with box-section girders, the girder design allows up to 30% more light to pass, making workplaces brighter, more attractive and, above all, safer. In addition, V-type girder surface area that is exposed to the wind is reduced by up to 55%, which also makes the crane ideal ideally suited for applications outdoors.
The V-type crane is not only highly efficient, but is also an extremely cost-effective solution in terms of investment outlay and its operating costs for indoor and outdoor operation.
Model variants
Five model variants – countless applications
Regardless of the model type that you choose – the V-type girder can be easily adapted to any building shape and is the ideal solution both for existing buildings as well as for new construction projects.
Type 1
The ends of the standard crane girder slope at an angle of 45°. The bottom edge of the crane girder is at the same level as the crane runway. The entire system offers sufficient space for pipes, for example.
Type 2
On the compact version, the bottom edge of the V-type crane is significantly lower than the crane runway. This variant is particularly suitable for situations that offer little space.
Type 4
This type is recommended for arrangements where there is a generous amount of space. The lower edge of the slightly raised crane girder is located higher than the crane runway, which offers a gain in lifting height.
Type 5
The crane girder is significantly raised. Its lower edge is located above the crane runway, which provides for a large range of lifting heights. May modifications can be incorporated if there is sufficient space.
Type 6
This variant is practically a combination of types 1 and 2. It can be ideally adapted to suit the available space, since the dimensions above and below the crane rail can be freely selected. The bottom edge of the crane girder is below the level of the crane runway.
Energy chain
Reduced maintenance requirement – improved working clearance
Compared to conventional trailing cable systems, our state-of-the-art energy chain provides improved working clearance below the crane. This not only enables the available space to be used more effectively – there are also no more cable loops that might impair operation. At the same time, the system eliminates the need for many of the usual components that often result in more maintenance and higher susceptibility to repairs.
The energy chain on our V-type crane is designed for a long service life under demanding operating conditions. It protects the power and control cables from mechanical wear and minimises the risk of other damage. Every energy chain is, of course, perfectly matched to the given V-type crane variant and tailored to meet the specific requirements of indoor and outdoor applications as well as any payload movements.
Travelling hoists
Travelling hoists tailored to meet specific requirements
Demag rope hoists feature high handling rates, cost-effective operation and maximum safety. Their compact design, minimum approach dimensions and high handling rates boost the performance of our V-type crane.
Bolted connections
Bolted connections: less wear, less maintenance
Absolutely parallel alignment of the machined connecting surfaces forms the basis for secure connections with high-tensile bolts. The machined and bolted connections and matching contact surfaces provide optimum alignment of the components, minimising the rapid wear of travel wheels, the crane runway and the rails.
The bolted connections used on our V-type crane result in gentler loads on the entire crane system, including the crane runway. Consequently, maintenance costs and requirements are reduced to a minimum. In addition, the bolted connection has a positive effect on the crane travel characteristics. The hoist unit travels along the rai quietly and smoothly, ensuring optimum travel characteristics at all times.

Adolescents struggling with emotional health problems often go unidentified and untreated. These teens run a significantly greater risk of using illegal drugs and abusing prescription drugs and alcohol. Substance use disorders are also associated with up to 6.2 times greater than average risk of suicide attempts, according to data from the National Comorbidity Survey.
We invite you to join a webinar, hosted jointly by the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids and the TeenScreen National Center for Mental Health Checkups at Columbia University, for primary care providers, mental health professionals and parents.
The webinar features two leading substance abuse experts who will offer professionals and parents the opportunity to learn more about teen mental health as it relates to risky teen behaviors, like substance use, and the proper methods to identify the most prevalent risk factors in teens. In addition, they will share their insights and take questions on the mental health-substance abuse connection and discuss practical strategies to help reverse these disturbing trends.

Struggles continue for McLouth hoops teams
December 17, 2012
The McLouth High basketball teams both suffered a pair of rough outings last week, as the boys and girls each went 0-2 in games against Atchison and Troy.
The Bulldogs played host to Atchison on Tuesday, but neither MHS team could get a win on its home court. The girls (1-4) fell behind by 19 points in the first quarter and never recovered in a 78-24 loss. Angela Dailey led McLouth with eight points. The boys (2-3) played AHS to a 22-22 tie at halftime, but couldn't seal the deal in a 62-52 defeat. Seniors Marc Walbridge, Carter Gish and Dakota Cop scored 14, 13 and 11 points, respectively.
The Bulldogs hit the road Friday for a Delaware Valley League meeting with Troy. The girls again struggled from the beginning and couldn't create any momentum in a 51-14 loss. Dailey and Kayla Steffey each scored five. The boys trailed by just four points at the break, but Troy pulled away late for a 57-47 victory. Gish led MHS with 11 points.
Both McLouth teams will travel Tuesday to DVL rival Oskaloosa for their final games before the holiday break.

A liver biopsy involves inserting a needle between the ribs to
collect a small sample of liver tissue. Samples of liver tissue can then be
examined under a microscope to further check a suspected or known liver
A liver biopsy may be done after other tests have failed to provide
a clear diagnosis or determine the severity of a liver problem. It can also be
used to monitor certain forms of liver disease, such as hepatitis C. A liver
biopsy can reveal long-term inflammation (chronic hepatitis), scar tissue
formation (cirrhosis), or cancer.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The stars look bored out of their minds when the fourth episode of the franchise stalls between racing sequences, which is all too often in a flick where 106 minutes speed by in what feels like at least four hours.
Rotten: This franchise is out of gas.
Rotten: People who want nothing more out of a movie than an extended rap video -- there's lots of hip-hop, close-ups of cars, and women in shiny tiny shorts -- may be satisfied. But this movie isn't much more than a re-do of the first film in the series.
Rotten: This is a movie about street racers... criminals in fact, and there was nothing grimy or dirty about it at all.
Customer Reviews
good popcorn flick
This movie kept me thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. Sure it's a little far fetched, but who cares? It's a movie, and definitely not as bad as some people are saying. Besides, the point of watching a movie is to escape reality so I don't understand why people complain when movies are not realistic.
1st Review
This movie I think was the best of the four. How the plot goes along with the other three really was impressive, and I highly recomend purchasing this film
okay but not enough racing
if you liked the last ones for the racing, than you won't like this one. There's barely any races in this movie but it had a good story, it was kind of a letdown for me cause all the other ones were filled with races.

Earthquake strengthening advice for Hutt homes
Earthquake strengthening advice for Hutt
Hutt City Council will be in Westfield's Queensgate Plaza next week, talking to people about the importance of earthquake strengthening and how to create a healthy home.
Council recently published a free guide for homeowners to help them the identify features of their properties that might need to be strengthened to withstand earthquakes, such as un-reinforced brick chimneys or walls and foundations.
Earthquakes are a fact of life for our region, which has prompted council to produce the guide – Earthquake Strengthen Your House – as a way of helping people assess their properties and make an informed decision about whether they need qualified builders to carry out improvements.
Along with providing advice on residential earthquake strengthening, visitors to Queensgate can talk to the council's eco design advisor about how to create a healthier, drier and warmer home. The eco design advisory service is offered free to Hutt City residents.
Council will operate a display stand in Queensgate's
ground floor centre court from Monday 12 November to Friday
16 November.

You should be able to calculate that from the product of the
frequencies of those value within R1b1c. Note that the likelihood of
a partial match by random convergence is bound to be much higher than
that of a full match.
