Husky Baseball Splits Two With MSU
The #8 SCSU baseball team split a pair of home games with #11 MSU-Mankato at Joe Faber field on Saturday. The Huskies dropped game one 5-2 (box) and won game two 11-3 (box).
MSU got off to a hot start against Husky starter Scott Lieser (6-4) in game one. Centerfielder Lucas Skejefte was hit by the first pitch of the game, followed by a Matt Kuchenbecker double down the left-field line to give the Mavs runners on second and third base with no outs.
Patrick Dockendorf cleared the bases with a three run home run to right-center field, giving Minnesota State a lead they would never relent.
Minnesota State starter Harvey Martin ran his record to 7-0 on the season with six strong innings of work. Nick Sutherland worked the seventh for his sixth save of the season.
The Huskies offense broke out in game two, putting up 11 runs on an excellent Mavericks pitching staff. SCSU scored two runs in the first inning, four in the second and five in the third to take an 11-2 lead after three innings.
All nine Huskies in the starting lineup had at least one hit, and five Huskies had a pair of hits in the game.
Logan Birr kept his perfect record intact with 7 and two-thirds innings of work. Birr allowed 14 baserunners but worked his way out of the jams and protected the Huskies massive lead deep into the game.
With the split, the Huskies remain three games behind MSU for first place in the NSIC.
Sunday's games were rained out and scheduled to be made up on Monday, April 16th.

1.2GHz multicore iPhones, iPads loom
When you follow the money, you have a clear nexus point at which platforms are evolving exponentially, with developers working hard to push these platforms to the limit. And the limits continue to grow -- later this year we should see iPads and the iPhone move to 1.2GHz multicore processors. That's a lot of power in your pocket -- already more powerful than the iMacs shipped at the beginning of the Century.
iPhones, the iPad and the iPod touch are computer equivalents already...
Developers are impressed: id Software co-founder and technical director John Carmack said last week, "I am working on games today using over a million times the processing power of my first game, and my cell phone can do things that no graphics system on earth could do when I started. Processing, graphics, networking, and mobility are all still surging ahead, and there are plenty of exciting things to look forward to."
The different business plans gamers use to drive revenues include: paid-for Apps; in-App purchasing; in-App advertising; sponsorship; and offering free Apps which later require gamers to pay for upgrades.
There's no short route to success. With thousands of titles competing for limited attention many independent games developers see incomes of less than $700, a report last year claimed. Those who do win people over see huge rewards. Take Cut the Rope -- this game sold for 99-cents and has been downloaded over five million times. Take Angry Birds, which has been downloaded 12 million times and is now headed to Hollywood. Take Doodle Jump, downloaded 200,000 times on Christmas Day alone.
All this activity, all this evolution is driving games design. You can see this by taking a look at some of the best games of 2008 (the year the App Store opened for business) and comparing them with the titles which are becoming more popular today.
August 2008 saw the first flush of games hit the App Store, here's one such title, Accel Break. A clone of BreakOut, this simple yet addictive game attracted many players, particularly with its attractive price -- free.
Coming soon we have an evolution of the classic break out game, BitBreaker. This in-development title offers complex gameplay, insane graphics and supports both multiplayer and single-player games.

Garden Of No Tomorrows - Poem by Unic Cjonr
Petals blooming in the musk of the moon.
Violet is shining true to the colour over my liquid spoon.
Vivid is my addiction.
The is no limit.
My mind does not sing along with time.
Cravings crawl the crevices on my skin.
I am burning.
Far too many demons I let in.
I do not plead for mercy.
I will not beg.
Give me pain.
Tear at my bones.
Rip my flesh.
But be warned.
I will wake immortal on the slayers land.
I will be the hunter.
Come dark or light.
My hate will not subside.
I do not forget a give.
Souls of the unkind I will reap.
Holier to be.
I spit my blood to ash on a fires back.
So go ahead.
Stake my heart.
Heat my memories.
I am the cost.
I am to blame.
My rainbow bleeds my sorrow.
In and out of the Garden Of No Tomorrows.

In previous articles I've discussed how MLPs are often subject to mini-flash crashes and how they are much more linked to commodity prices than most investors appreciate. Both these dynamics have come into play in the past week. The confluence of ex-dividend dates, drastically lower oil prices, and fear about pass-through taxation changes has driven MLPs precipitously lower. The broader sector, measured by the Alerian Index, is off its recent highs by 8%, with a few of the large-cap names like Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE:ETP) off well over 10%.
The move can't all be attributed to commodity price moves: some of the large-cap MLPs most insulated from commodity prices--Boardwalk Partners (NYSE:BWP) and Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) for example--have suffered the biggest declines. So what's really going on in the sector? The intraday charts (click on each to enlarge) tell an interesting story. One of the biggest intraday decliners was ETP, down over 4% on 4 times the normal volume.
The first big plunge happened at 9:45, with a whopping 180,000 shares (about 20% of a normal day's volume) selling in less than 60 seconds. Let's look at another big-cap MLP: Kinder Morgan Partners (NYSE:KMP). Again, we see a plunge in price and a big spike in volume at precisely 9:45.
Don't see a pattern yet? Take a look at Nustar (NYSE:NS).
That's 25% of a day's volume in 60 seconds (at the usual, appointed time, of course). I don't want to bore you with charts, so take my word--a bunch of others look just the same. A number of these MLPs had been downgraded by Morgan Stanley yesterday morning. But this price action wasn't limited to those names. Magellan Midstream Partners (NYSE:MMP) and Targa Resources (NYSE:NGLS), which were upgraded by Morgan Stanley also had 9:45 plunges.
In short, this doesn't look like long-term investors growing dis-enchanted with MLPs. It looks like big, institutional fast-money traders getting out quick. The takeaway for the individual investor is that you need to look carefully at each MLP's fundamentals--its distribution coverage, growth rate, and commodity exposure. If it's a good buy, it's a good buy. Don't panic because hedge funds and overleveraged carry-traders are forced to liquidate; embrace it as an opportunity. For my part, I see a few MLPs that are now getting closer to attractive levels. I'm putting in my "stink bids" every morning; maybe the next liquidation will drive prices low enough to fill them.

Pear and Mint Chicken Salad
For this recipe you will need:
To prepare this recipe:
In a small saucepan, cook the mint jelly over low heat until melted. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the mustard. Measure out two tablespoons of the mixture to use while grilling the chicken, and reserve the rest.
Cook the chicken breasts on an uncovered grill over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes, or until no longer pink. Turn the breasts once during cooking, and brush the chicken with the 2 tablespoons of jelly-mustard glaze.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board, let it cool slightly, then slice it diagonally.
Meanwhile, toss the greens with the pears and walnuts in a salad bowl. For a dressing, stir together the reserved jelly-mustard glaze, the vinegar and the oil. Divide the greens among 4 dinner plates, and arrange the sliced chicken on top of each serving. Drizzle the dressing over each portion.
This recipe will serve 4 people.

I really do get these questions a LOT of the time, both on-line and off.
- I can't tell your gender from photos, and I clearly didn't bother to read what you ticked off on The Mod Generation, New Untouchables, or whatever other forum. Are you a man or a woman?
- You're not very Mod, are you?
- Wait, didn't you used to be a….?
- Are you really pagan?
- Are you Amerikan or British? You say a lot of confusing things about this, and sometimes your accent changes.
- Will you do a certain badge design for me?
- When are you finishing your next book?
- I can totally tell this character is you, but who inspired the rest?
- Is it at all possible to buy your books on Amazon?
- You're rather poufy to be a Mod, aren't you?
I can't tell your gender from photos, and I clearly didn't bother to read what you ticked off on The Mod Generation, New Untouchables, or whatever other forum. Are you a man or a woman?
I'm a boy of history, I assure you. If you're still unconvinced, I invite you to play rub-up on the dance floor with me sometime.
You're not very Mod, are you?
I'm "not very" many things. Mod is not my religion that I'm slavishly devoted to. It's a subculture predominantly united through aesthetics and music, but is also varyingly associated with philosophy, an art movement, and a literary movement, though these latter three need not be embraced by every Mod expecting to be taken seriously at the clubs or on the Internet, there is also a loose association with Mod and the growing retrofuturist movements due in part to the subculture's unshakable associations with "1960s nostalgia" in spite of the fact that not everything associated with the 1960s is necessarily Mod, nor is everything about the Mod subculture necessarily associated with the 1960s.
Considering this, I'm a huge fan of the Mod aesthetic and of the music in my slsk sharefolder, the biggest sub-folder is actually the one marked "Mod & Skinhead" with several sub-folders by genre. I also clearly know enough to hold my own in any conversation about the broad history of the subculture, and if I look different, it's clearly because I want to, not because I'm unaware of "the rules". If you want me to cite examples to justify some of my choices in dress, I absolutely can and will.
Wait, didn't you used to be a….?
Ah now, that'd be telling.
I did a lot of things in my past. I'm sure you did, too. On the other hand, the only "Living In the Past" I want any part of is the Jethro Tull song as covered by Billie Davis. If you're truly the gentleman or lady that you fancy yourself as being, you'll leave it at that.
Are you really pagan?
Yes. I prefer Hellenic polytheist, though, but the word "pagan" is occasionally useful.
Are you Amerikan or British? You say a lot of confusing things about this, and sometimes your accent changes.
If you're confused, I'd suggest that it's either cos you aren't paying attention or cos you lack the comprehensive reading skills to flesh out the story for yourself.
In short: I'm Amerikan by current state of citizenship, and I'm British by fortune of background and cultural rearing. My parents were both about forty by the time I was born, and I have one older half-sister from each parent (my mother's daughter being fourteen years my senior, my father's daughter being seven years my senior). My father's side was Ultach and English (both of his parents died before I was three years old), and my mother's parents, who were the people that primarily raised me until the age of ten, were a Cockney grandmother and a Cornish grandfather. As an adolescent, I spent summers in London with my eldest sister and my brother-in-law. That's where and when I learned to change my accent as a basic means of "surviving" socially —it's a known fact that adults treat teens like they're morons, and it's a generally accepted fact that British will treat Amerikans like they're morons (few exceptions to either), and no, it really doesn't matter if it can be empirically proved that the U$-born teen really is smarter than everybody around them. As a result of six years of quickly assimilating back into my British accent at the drop of a pin, it comes and goes on occasion, though most commonly it comes in either when I'm either watching UK television or talking to people who have any non-U$ or Canadian accent. Some days, I really have no clue what my natural accent is or is supposed to be, and I have to think about how my "Amerikan voice" sounds before speaking.
I generally identify as a misplaced Brit too impoverished to go home, and I qualify for a UK ancestry visa (which requires UK-born grandparents) from both sides of my family.
Will you do a certain badge design for me?
If you're interested in bulk custom orders: I have carpal tunnel syndrome and prefer to make new badges only once or twice a year for the purposes of weekenders and other events. It's just very painful and after a rather humiliating incident when I took an offer I really should have known it was best not to, I don't do custom badges for the general public anymore, especially not bulk orders. If this should ever change, I'll update my Etsy page to reflect this before I come and update here. If you're on Etsy, add me to your Circle and check back periodically for updates about that.
If you're interested in a single badge I might add to my stock: I only make badges using images I find, or for musicians/bands I actually listen to. There are some things I simply will not do, ever, because I simply don't like the band. DO NOT request I add designs for the following bands to my stock: The Beatles (especially not McCartney solo), Interpol, The Inmates.
When are you finishing your next book?
Contrary to popular belief, creativity cannot be forced, and the most creative people aren't those who simply force themselves to be a little creative each day. Creative people are predominantly daydreamers who simply know when to act on it.
Of course, I'm an extrovert who's easily distracted by shiny things and has Adult-type ADHD, so I don't always take the best opportunities to act on my daydreaming, and some of those daydreams haven't anything to do with the planned stories listed in the sidebar. My first novel took six years to finish and was completely re-written about three years in; of course, there were a lot of reasons for this, including periodic homelessness. New Dance took about two-and-a-half years to complete during a relatively low-stress period.
As of now, mid-2012, I have hopes to finish Let Your Heart Dance by the end of 2012, and hope to finish Peacocks & Fairies by the end of 2013; I am working on both simultaneously, and they are both part of The Mod Stories. I have also started on a fifth instalment in that series, with title TBA. These hopes may or may not work out as I'd like —I hoped to finish Simple Man within a year after I started the re-write and New Dance was originally a NaNoWriMo attempt —and we see how well that turned out.
I can totally tell this character is you, but who inspired the rest?
Actually, 9/10 times, minimum, when some-one tells me they "can tell" who inspired a character of mine, they're wrong —except where it's obvious, like the occasional "real live fictional characters" that creep into my books. There's also a little bit of myself in all my primary characters, and I think this is true for most authors, but here's a run-down of some of the people who inspired some of my characters:
Gary "Gaz" Donaghue —This is my single most misunderstood character, and all from people who don't actually know me. I based his physical appearance on everything I hated about my own appearance at the time I wrote most about him. Keep in mind, I wrote most about him when I was very early transitioning and trying to "look normal" under some misguided assumption that "Passing! IS! LIFE!! If you don't look like a carbon-copy of every other trannyboy on the planet, no-one will ever take you for the gender you want to present as!" I wasn't very happy with how I looked during that couple of years, and it shows in how I developed his character: He's kind of a composite of every trans man I've ever fought with on-line and in person, with a few notable exceptions (like he was never a lesbian and he actually has been brutally assaulted for being TS), and he's one of the few characters I've written who I can safely say I'd probably never get along with, if he were a real person.
Henri "Nino" Mitropoulos —his appearance I based mainly on Cat Stevens at age seventeen, when "Matthew & Son" was released, and his family background is loosely inspired by the same artist, to a point. I'm not sure where I got the notion that he comes from a long line of tailors, but I think it worked. His father was loosely based on several people, and his mother is loosely based on US actress of the 1930s, Constance Bennett. His personal history of inescapable nicknames comes from my own similar history of inescapable nicknames, and the mention of his "ugly duckling" childhood is a vague reference to my own identification with the book as a child, and the reference in New Dance to his decade-long battle with body acne is taken straight from my own life. His own bisexuality is a complete inversion of my humanoid meat-based house-mate's, and I think his personality is how I'd've turned out if I were more introverted and quiet. His current development through the next two books (Let Your Heart Dance and Peacocks & Fairies) is more analogous to my own than any other character except perhaps Jace.
Jason "Jace" Hanvey —obviously, his appearance is based on James Dean, but I consider his primary development in New Dance to be very analogous to my own. He "came out" as gay at the same age I started transitioning. He attempted to bury his own feelings with alcoholism and recreational drugs, I attempted the same with careless promiscuity and blatant obnoxiousness. He's socially awkward in spite of airs of coolness. That quote from his school (mentioned in New Dance) was taken verbatim from my own high school guidance counsellor about myself. His relationship with his parents is non-existent except when it's emotionally abusive, and the only member of his family he really gets on that well with is his eldest sister and a nephew who's actually older than him by about a year -and that situation was based loosely on a similar occurrence in my own family, and the relationship with Jace can be analogous to my relationship with my eldest half-sister and my brother-in-law. Like Jace, my parents were also about forty when I was born. His surviving parent is obscenely religious to the point it makes her hate the child she once believed was the most precious.
Alice Reagan —Her appearance is based mainly on Audrey Hepburn, but her personality is based mainly on a cross between Gitane DeMone (dark cabaret singer) and Stephanie Mata (a fixture in the Los Angeles deathrock scene). Her background and "goals" come in part from myself and several of my friends in relatively equal measure.
Owain Shaunnessey —My inspiration for him is kind of all over the place, including Stephen Fry, Dave Bats (who runs the monthly deathrock party in Long Beach, CA, with his wife Jenn), my humanoid meat-based house-mate…. He's probably the only character I consider more "mix-n-match" of about a dozen or so people than Gaz.
Colin Gow (first appearance in Let Your Heart Dance) —…is my revision of Pete from The Leather Boys and Kevin from Quadrophenia. I believe it is not-coincidental that those two characters in their respective films look an awful lot alike.
Margaid "Paaie" Quirk (first appearance in Peacocks & Fairies) —In some ways, I like to think of her as the girl I could never be; she's the girl several people seemed to expect of me, and the girl I briefly tried desperately to be. Since I couldn't be her, I created her so that the world could have her. Her appearance is influenced partly by early-1980s Toyah Wilcox, Kate Peirson and Cindy Wilson from The B-52s, Tracey Ullman, Amy Winehouse, and Sandie Shaw. In personality, she's quieter than I am, louder than Nino, and I made her a little more cynical and slightly more political than the other characters (which is saying something, as these characters are rather apolitical and tend to be more philosophical). Like my own family, hers is dirt-poor, though for different reasons (though the family history of cancer is referencing my own family's history of cancer). Her talents for hair are based in part on my own, and her talents for the clarinet family are based loosely on those of my friend Mauraway. I named her purely for the word-play and allusions to myself: Her preferred diminutive of her name, "Paaie", is unpronounceable to anybody who doesn't speak Manx, and her surname, taken from an early 20th Century list of common surnames on the Isle of Man, has an English definition of "peculiarity", making it somewhat synonymous with "oddity". Like myself, she also got into the Mod scene through her fondness of New Wave, No Wave, and Art Rock but instead of how I "came back around", she basically came to it for the first time.
Is it at all possible to buy your books on Amazon?
Yep! I don't link directly to Amazon because buying my book from the links in the sidebar gives me nearly double the royalty payment, which will mean that I'll have more money to pay my bills, feed my cats, buy amazing records, clothes, etc…, and after that's all done, keep the steady supply of marvodaphne coming so that I can keep writing.
If you still really want to get the books on Amazon after I already gave you a good reason not to (after all, you may only be able to buy via Amazon in your country), just type my name into the Amazon search box, or copy-and-paste the ISBN and, voilà! Books! After you read them, be sure and tell your friends or post a review to your blog.
You're rather poufy to be a Mod, aren't you?
Nope, and if you knew as much about the subculture as you think you do, you'd know that queer sexuality and alternative gender expression has always been a fairly common thing amongst Mods.

Lunar Disko presents...
The Hasbeens feat. Alden Tyrell (live) (Clone / Frustrated Funk)
DJ Overdose (Novamen / Monotone - The Hague)
Barry Donovan (Lunar Disko)
This coming February 7th sees the first of many international guests down Lunar Disko way in 2009. For this one, we have a very special show with The Hasbeens featuring Alden Tyrell [LIVE] + DJ Overdose mixing it up all things electro & Miami Bass....
Alden Tyrell
The last time Mr Tyrell visited these shores was alongside Intergalactic Gary last July for our 2nd Birthday, and what a night that was! Tyrell & I-G rocked down the Kennedys basement like we've never seen before on what is undoubtedly the most memorable Lunar Disko to date. Rotterdam's Italo and electro master has also never failed to impress on any of his previous visits with the Electric City boyos, and this time its the new Hasbeens Live show with his homeboy from Den Haag, DJ Overdose.
The Hasbeens first came to our attention when we heard their now legendary super-hit 'Make The World Go Away' which was originally released as a one sided limited 12" by Clone Records. That was quickly followed up by a full EP release with more melodramatic italo and electro to burn up the dancefloor!
Now its time for The Hasbeens to bring their live show on the road, and this Dublin date is their first performance outside the Netherlands and we cant wait for it!
DJ Overdose
Aswell as The Hasbeens Live show, we will be treated to a DJ set from The Hague's DJ Overdose. Known for his skills on the turntables, as one half of the Novamen, and of course his killer releases from over the years on Murder Capital, Viewlexx, and Exzakt's Monotone Records. More recently he has started to release some amazing italo tracks as ' Dream Disco ' on Das Drehmoment from Berlin.
Overdose has always had a passion for old school electro and hip hop and will be cutting and scratching up records from the 1980's when the likes of World Class Wreckin Cru' and Mantronix ruled the electro world along with some Detroit and Dutch electro jams.
Check out this super mix from Overdose:

The very cute and bubbly Mansi Srivastava, who plays Shivani in Film Farm Productions' popular show Do Dil Bandhe Ek Dori Se on Zee TV, had thought of becoming an actor since her childhood days. Mansi shares more about her journey as Shivani, her life and her future plans in a candid conversation with TellyBuzz.
Let's see what Mansi has to share with us...
How has been your journey playing the role Shivani in the show Do Dil Bandhe Dori Se so far?
It's been very good; its three months now and everything is settled well. Now that Shivani is married to Raghu (Arhaan Behll) in the show, I am really enjoying the current track and it's good to play a bahu at an early age (chuckles). It's really nice the way the story is moving forward and shaping up. The innocent phase of Shivani is now over and now she is getting to learn new things post marriage which is making me to like the character more and it is a learning experience for me as well.
In what ways are you related to Shivani?
Shivani is a very innocent girl. She doesn't know anything about the world. I would say that I am innocent like Shivani but I can distinguish between good and bad.
Was it difficult for you to get yourself involved into the character of Shivani?
No, it wasn't very difficult! Shivani's character is innocent, bubbly and very protective. I am also a single child of my parents. I am stubborn but not an over protective child; I am an independent woman. Getting myself involved in Shivani's character has been quite fun and a learning experience for me.
How do you bond with everyone on the sets?
We all have bonded very well with each other in this short span of 3 months. All my co-stars are very good and I like all of them. We do lots of fun while doing some scenes too. Sometimes it happens that someone laughs while doing a scene which makes others laugh too but we have to control ourselves and do the scene. We all have become very good friends.
Was becoming an actor in your mind since your childhood days?
Yes, it was! I used to imitate everyone and do weird things and keep staring at myself while standing in front of the mirror. I was a commerce student and I used to do theater while I was in college. I have always wished to be on TV as an actor and this craze made me to come to Mumbai.
What are your interests other than acting?
I love painting; I paint landscape images and portraits. I paint when I am not in a good mood because painting uplifts my mood. I am fond of reading and being a big fan of Harry Potter and Twilight, I have read all the books of them. Though I hardly get time out of my busy schedule but if I do get, then I also love to go out with my friends on the beach side or some other good places.
Do you think that Do Dil Bandhe Ek Dori Se is going to be a turning point of your career?
Yes, I do believe! I started thinking the same day when I gave an audition for the show that if I bag this show, then it will be a turning point of my career. It's all good in the past three months and hoping for the good in future too.
Your presence on social media?
I am not on Twitter but I am on Facebook. I am not that much active on Facebook; I have my friends and relatives added on Facebook so sometimes I go on Facebook to interact with them.
What are your plans to get into movies?
I have already done a movie titled '27' which is expected to get released by the end of this year. It's a Hindi movie. I am waiting for the movie to get released.
Message to your fans?
Watch my show and give me your feedback. I am planning to create a Facebook page for you all where I can get your feedback and interact with you all.

It's been a long time coming.
Anyone who has flown with young kids in recent years knows it's not uncommon to find that your preschooler has been assigned a seat half a plane away. All too often, parents are told it is up to them to ask someone to switch seats.
In one case I wrote about, a mom with autistic twins was forced to go to her senator for help. I've seen other parents offer to buy drinks for a passenger, if only they'd switch. Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, was hearing numerous complaints from his constituents. Even one of his congressional staffers reported the same experience.

Columbus, Ohio It appears consumers across the United States are tightening their belts this holiday season as over half (56.7%) of Americans say they will be spending less due to the economic environment, according to the American Pulse Survey of 4,348 respondents.
In addition, 51.2% say they will be looking for sales more than last year, while 31.8% are hoping to find deals online. Almost 20% of those with household incomes greater than $50,000 say the economy won't affect their holiday shopping, compared to 12.8% of those with incomes less than $50,000 who say the same.
One in five (22.8%) Americans plan to brave the crowds on Black Friday to take advantage of deep discounts, but it doesn't seem they will be taking up certain retailers' offer to layaway purchases. Almost half (47.4%) say they are not at all likely to participate in a layaway program. Conversely, 9.4% are very likely to do so.
When it comes to retailers and their advertising, 87.9% of Americans feel it is proper for them to use the word "Christmas" in their ads. 65.3% prefer store employees greet them with a "Merry Christmas" while 27.4% think "Happy Holidays" is more appropriate when shopping.

Oil companies fined in death of Hebron man
After months of investigation following the death of a man on an oil rig near Killdeer in April, two area companies have been issued thousands of dollars in proposed penalties.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued citations to Black Hills Trucking, Inc. and Nabors Drilling USA LP, after Larry Due, 64, Hebron, was killed while assisting in the set-up of an oil drilling rig, according to OSHA on Friday.
Due, an employee of Black Hills Trucking, Inc., was allegedly installing the rig's floor decking while the drilling contractor, Nabors Drilling USA, Inc., was hoisting a bridle line and equalizer to be secured in the rig's derrick, according to OSHA documents.
"The rigging failed and dropped the load approximately 120 feet upon the employee below," according to OSHA documents.
Violations are alleged and fines proposed until they become final order and the company has 15 working days from the citation's issuance date to try and resolve the matter with the OSHA office, said Tom Deutscher, OSHA area director.
All citations were issued Sept. 14.
Black Hills Trucking received one alleged citation with two items, totaling $14,000 in proposed fines.
The company was cited for employees allegedly not being kept clear of suspended loads or those about to be lifted by a sling, according to OSHA documents.
Black Hills was also cited for allegedly exposing employees to fall hazards of approximately 18 feet by working on the rig floor without being guarded by standard railings, according to the documents.
Deutscher said Black Hills has not responded.
Nabors received one citation for $7,000 which it has contested, Deutscher said.
The citation issued to Nabors alleges that on or about April 5, employees and subcontractors were exposed to falling loads and/or struck by hazards while working on the rig floor during a hoisting process, according to OSHA documents.
"We really try to determine whether the accident or fatality was a result of noncompliance with our standards," Deutscher said. "So when we issue these citations, we're really saying, 'Had you had these in place, this person most likely would be alive today.' "
John Blomstrom, in-house attorney for Black Hills Trucking, said the company received notice of the citations in the last few days and is still in the review process.
"Really don't have anything further than that to say until we've got our heads totally around it," Blomstrom said Friday.
Dennis Smith, director of corporate development at Nabors Corporate Services, Inc., was unavailable for comment.
Due's wife, Kathryne Due, declined comment Friday evening.

Daphne Sheldrick's sanctuary
Daphne Sheldrick, who runs a refuge for orphaned baby elephants and rhinos named for her late husband and located outside Nairobi in Kenya will be profiled tomorrow (Sunday) on 60 Minutes.
The refuge takes the animals who have been abandoned by their mothers or whose mothers have been shot by poachers. It nurtures them and then takes them to the national parks in Kenya and helps them to become adopted by other herds, in relative safety. I went and visited the refuge, and it's quite something. You can read about the visit, by clicking here.

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
A beautifully photographed cookbook of sugary sweet soul food desserts, influenced by the women in author Patty Pinner's family.
Growing up in a large African-American family in a small town in Michigan, Patty Pinner spent her childhood helping the women of the house-the Queens of Soul Food-whip up the sweet treats that crowned family dinners, neighborhood gatherings, and church socials. In SWEETS, Patty shares her family's stories, maxims, and magical desserts, many named after family members like Cud'n Daisy, Aint Sug, and My My, her beloved grandmother. Part recipe book, part family history, this sweet-as-can-be cookbook is a heartfelt tribute to women who ruled the home and the kitchen with their wisdom, hearts, and cooking.
About the Author
PATTY PINNER was raised in a large extended family in Saginaw, Michigan. In between earning her master's degree in education and working for the USPS as a training and development specialist, Patty makes time to work at her family's restaurant, Ern's Seafood Restaurant. Patty lives in eastern Michigan."

Frail pensioner told she must drag her wheelie bin HALF A MILE to get it emptied
Council deputy leader Richard Sherras said: 'Despite careful planning, problems peculiar to specific properties . . . arose that could not have been anticipated.'
He added that other difficult cases had led to 'special measures' being put into place while a solution was sought.
Ribble's scheme falls into a pattern of draconian measures over bins which have come in at a time when many councils have cut weekly collections to fortnightly.
Last week the Daily Mail revealed that Tory-run Plymouth Council wants families to name somebody to be in charge of their rubbish.
That individual would then face £100 fines and a criminal record if rubbish goes in the wrong wheelie bins, or the bins are put out too soon or in the wrong place.
These are examples where councils in order to comply with labours legislation are getting inventive with suppressive new ideas, but guess who suffers, and guess who don't get the service they are already paying through the teeth for...?

8 GF1 samples using 20mm Pancake and 55mm Micro-NIKKOR
I've had the GF1 for about a month now and just got the Nikon F mount adapter (the rainbowimaging w/ aperture control - satisfied, BTW), so I thought I should post a few samples. Nothing ground breaking of course, but it never hurts for a photography forum to contain additional shots
Some of these were processed in Lightroom 3 with FujiColi's presets (thanks!), some were JPEGs with a bit of curve adjustment in Gimp, some were JPEGs uploaded to Picasa Web weeks ago, then downloaded today, resized and saved, etc etc - for 1600x1200 web viewing, though, I really don't think it matters too much. I don't even remember which images posted underwent what process in particular, so I apologise if that would have been useful information.
That said, I have the RAWs if anyone would like to see a comparison of any of the images, put through a specific process, I'd be happy to experiment. I'm definitely a beginner so any guided experimentation would be a great learning experience and much appreciated.
EDIT: Sorted pics and labeled which were taken with which lens. Gallery mechanism didn't do it for me automatically.

I'm worried now that the family is in danger of getting bitten by their JR after the abusive techniques that were used by Jordan Shelley on the BBC's One Show and if so the JR will get put down. If anyone knows who the family is, please tell them that I will come over to England free of charge and teach them how to stop their dog guarding in a humane and beautifully effective way. No point in just complaining, I want to save this dog and this family. Please send this to everyone you know.Congratulations to Victoria for her generosity of spirit and willingness to stand up for her belief in the power of positive reinforcement training. We are proud to have Victoria as a member of Doggone Safe!
I hope everyone will pass this on and help Victoria find the name of the family that she wants to help.
You can contact her at http://www.facebook.com/VictoriaStilwell or through her website http://positively.com/.
Here is the video that caused the concern:
Here are some articles that explain the proper and safe way to deal with and prevent resource guarding:

In Tunisia one is both in Africa, walking
on the desert's endless yellow sands,
and on the Mediterranean, cooling off
in its deep blue waters.
Africa, only two hours away... That's
how close Tunisia is to Turkey. A few
hours after boarding the plane, I was
sipping the legendary mint and pistachio-flavored
tea of the famous Café des Nattes
in Sidi-bu-Said, one of Tunisia's
many charming towns. The sun had brought
out the country's colors in all
their brilliance. Strolling along the
broad avenues of the capital, Tunis, and
observing the modern life teeming in its
cafes that spill over onto the sidewalks,
I would soon be mingling with the shopkeepers
and denizens of a medieval 'medina'.
Large or small, there is a medina in every
city of Tunisia. When the cities were
founded, the original settlement and life
always began in these medinas. A medina
(the word means 'walled city')
is a virtual labyrinth. In it are shops
and coffeehouses where people play backgammon.

Cobalt Chrome Wedding Bands
Cobalt Chrome Wedding Bands and Cobalt Chrome Rings
Here at www.TungstenRingsOnline.com we are proud to be the leaders in offering our customers the choice of cobalt chrome wedding bands.Cobalt chrome rings are a great alternative to white precious metals.They will hold up much better than any precious metal.In fact they are four times harder than the hardest precious metal platinum.With a cobalt chrome ring there is no need to worry about the ring bending out of shape.
What is Cobalt?
Cobalt Chrome wedding bands are composed of about 67% Cobalt, 27% Chromium and 6% Molybdenum. These elements combine to result in a Cobalt metal that is exceptionally strong and durable. Cobalt rings are bright white in color and are often compared to platinum in appearance. Our Cobalt wedding bands are naturally white in color and will never need to be rhodium plated like a white gold wedding band. You can be sure that your Cobalt ring will have a permanent luster that will never fade or discolor over time.
Cobalt has been widely used throughout the medical and dental industries because it is biocompatible and naturally hypoallergenic. This means that our Cobalt wedding bands do not have any harmful substances that could possibly cause any allergic reactions. This makes a Cobalt ring the perfect alternative for individuals with sensitive skin allergies. Gold rings tend to scratch easily and even bend out of shape during normal wear. Cobalt rings are many times harder than gold and maintain their shine and finish for a lifetime. Cobalt rings have a particularly high resistance to scratching and are nearly impossible to bend out of shape. Cobalt rings are four times harder than platinum, five times harder than gold, and seven times harder than silver. Cobalt wedding bands are the perfect combination of high scratch resistance and shatterproof in an everyday ring.
Cobalt Rings vs. Tungsten and Titanium Rings
Cobalt rings compare very closely to Tungsten and Titanium wedding bands. All three of these metals are poor heat and electrical conductors (unlike gold), and in most cases they are hypoallergenic. Cobalt wedding rings fall directly in the middle as far as weight and scratch resistance are concerned. Tungsten is the heaviest of the three with Titanium being the lightest. Tungsten is also the most scratch resistant with Titanium being the least scratch resistant (all three have a much higher resistance to scratching than Platinum, Palladium, or Gold). Unlike a Tungsten wedding band, Cobalt rings will not crack under excessive pressure. The amount of weight that it would take to even bend a Cobalt ring would be tremendous.
The major advantage that a Cobalt ring has over Tungsten and Titanium is that they are bright white and very reflective. Tungsten and Titanium bands are nearly impossible to resize, but Cobalt rings can endure slight sizing adjustments without the need to add or remove any material. This makes Cobalt wedding bands one of the only alternative metals in the marketplace that can be resized (all of our wedding bands come with a lifetime warranty if you should ever need your ring to be resized). At a fraction of the price of platinum and white gold, Cobalt offers the durability of tungsten and titanium while retaining its permanent white luster for a lifetime.
Can Cobalt rings be engraved?
Yes, it is possible to engrave your Cobalt wedding rings using our laser engraving system. Cobalt rings are so tough that they require a laser engraver for the engraving process. Our laser engraver uses a computer system to laser etch your wedding band. Since we use a computer you can select just about any Microsoft Word font for your engraving. If we do not have the font already we can usually download any font that is compatible with Microsoft Word. There is no limit to the amount of characters for your laser engraving. Keep in mind that the more characters that are used the smaller the font will need to be. We can also do custom engravings that involve symbols or even different languages. It typically only takes about 1-2 business days for your ring to be laser engraved. Feel free to contact one of our friendly customer service representatives for any questions or concerns regarding your engraving.
Can a Cobalt ring be cut off?
Yes, in the case of an emergency your Cobalt ring can be cut off by medical professionals. Emergency personnel have a tool specifically designed for removing wedding bands while they are still on the finger. These tools are equipped with interchangeable cutting blades that allow them to be changed to remove any type of wedding band. If you have any concerns you can contact your local hospital and ask if they have the tools necessary to cut off a Cobalt wedding band.
In most cases where a ring needs to be removed by medical professionals it is because the ring had been bent out of shape and was putting painful pressure on the finger. Cobalt rings are much harder than any precious metals and are much less likely to crush or bend out of shape. In our many years of experience we have never seen a case where medical professionals have not been able to cut off a wedding band regardless of the type of material that the ring has been made from.

I had a solid silicon chin implant inserted 6 years ago. Yesterday, I felt a sharp pain in my chin while eating some beef jerky. Today, I still feel some minor pain but look more or less the same. Is it possible that the implant slipped?
Chin Implant Slippage
Doctor Answers 3
Chin implant movement and asymmetry
Chin implants are not likely to slip out, but there is a finite risk of extrusion of a chin implant if there is trauma to the area. I would seek an expert examination and opinion.

Chin Implant
you need to see a Plastic surgeon and have a consultation and an examination before a proper diagnosis can be given
It's unlikely your chin implant moved 6 years after your surgery.
I'm not sure why you experienced pain by your chin implant after eating beef jerkey. If there is any visible swelling or pain to touch, then you should see your surgeon for evaluation. I hope you find this helpful.

Rivers overflowing from northern monsoon rains emptied into the lake which covers about 1.2m sq km (463,400 sq miles) in the state of South Australia. Birds swarmed on the area. The waters pouring through the lake's northern Warburton Groove inlet had started a mass hatching of salt shrimp from dormant eggs, said charter pilot Trevor Wright from nearby William Creek.
"The birds are like a big black blanket," he said after flying over the lake in the country's heart. "It's a high-protein feast for all the wading birds."
Lake Eyre sits in the middle of one of the world's largest internal river systems and covers large parts of South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland. Its basin is bigger than France, Germany and Italy.
When the lake floods the outback springs to life with thousands of waterbirds - pelicans, black cormorants, silver gulls, avocets and banded stilts - gathering to feast on shrimp and fish.
A South Australia state parks spokeswoman said it was unclear whether weeks of heavy northern rains would be enough to fill the basin or whether the lake would only partly fill. The basin last topped its maximum five-metre depth in 1974.

I'm looking for someone who comes with their own interests but if we have the same ones I won't complain. Also, someone trustworthy with money is a plus. Reasoning? Because I'd gladly work two jobs so as to not deal with finances on paper.
The three things that define me are that I'm an unapologetic free thinker, accepting of others, and can have others rely on me. Really I'm just throwing my hands up on here because all I wanna do is find someone who I can make it my goal to be the best person they could be with and it's so far been a lot more difficult than it should be.
I am on a billiards team and I love the game. I'm not high ranked, but I'm definitely above average. To be honest, it'd be a big plus if you were good at or would at least be willing to give playing it a try. Agreements can be made if there's something I haven't tried that you love.
I'm actually quite good at being adaptable to new situations. I can be brought into almost any group easily and maintain a conversation. Having a varied list of interests, general knowledge, and being comfortable with myself is something that took time, but I'm not a wall flower which is nice.
Finding me amusing depends on the person, but I choose to take life lightly and will joke about it whenever able. It seems to be well received.
Movies that impress me are not done only with story, but with visual style, editing techniques, vision, working with limited funds, and being unconventional. My range based on that goes across like Memento, Mirror-Mask, Across The Universe, Boondock Saints, Ink, Ong Bak, Big Fish, and Sin City.
I like shows that are predominately light but have those "ow my feels..." Episodes peppered in. Scrubs, Raising Hope, Pushing Daisies, Big Bang Theory, Invader Zim, Simpsons, and Adventure Time are in that vein. The last one is good on so many levels to me.
Wow, just realized I'm really eclectic in general... Was going to list favorite music and the list was: Pink Floyd, Ludo, Creedance Clearwater Revival, Johnny Cash, your Phantom/Evita/Les Mis varieties, Dead Mouse, Animaniguchi, Joshua Radin, Mumford and Sons, and any good covers ( For example, Fade to Bluegrass... amazing )
Food-wise I'll try anything but green items have to try harder.
I'd say my God-Daughters are something I couldn't do without. My best buddy, who also made me best man, made me her God-Father. Being the last of my siblings (eldest sister, elder brother) I never got to see a kid grow up. They are simply amazing and I'm literally in awe of the experience. I'm almost as proud of them as a parent and am given to telling storiesto any willing to listen.

Today I chose to talk about Agacio, which is one of the most comfortable brands known to men and have been proving itself time and again. One of the newer fashion underwear styles offered by the brand includes Zotico Live Classic Brief which has been reviewed up here in the video.
The best aspect loved by the man wearing it was the sheer simplicity of the pair. Without the use of any external or internal pouch lifting technique, the pair does everything very easily. The fabric is well complemented because of the 96% modal and 4% spandex that stretches well and fits like a true men's brief underwear should fit.
The waistband of the pair is of the contrasting color and also a surety that you manhood would stay comfortable down there. The anatomical pouch zooms out and shapes up according to your manhood and still leaves the place for the assets to breathe better. The coverage is kept conventional of the sexy underwear that lets you feel free and fresh for a longer period of time.

Chicago (AFP) Sept 8, 2010
BP sought to spread the blame for the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster Wednesday, setting off a battle of oil industry giants with tens of billions of dollars in potential fines and legal liabilities at stake.
The British energy giant released a report concluding that a "sequence of failures" were to blame for the April 20 explosion that killed 11 people and unleashed 4.9 million barrels of oil in the worst-ever maritime spill.
While admitting some mistakes, BP exonerated its well design and apportioned a large share of the blame to faults made by rig owner Transocean and contractor Halliburton, which cemented the well.
The contractors responded by calling the report flawed and self-serving, while also asserting that BP was ultimately responsible for overseeing and approving all work done on its well.
The four-month probe, led by BP's head of safety and operations Mark Bly, is viewed as key to how the firm plans to defend itself in legal proceedings involving the spill.
"This report likely does its job in providing ammo (ammunition) for BP in future court cases, where the avoidance of the charge of 'gross negligence' is critical," said Peter Hutton, an oil market analyst at NCB Stockbrokers.
BP and its investment partners Anadarko and Mitsui are financially responsible for the cleanup costs, fines and compensation for damages. Transocean has also been deemed a "responsible party" by the US government.
That responsibility could shift and fines could skyrocket if BP -- or any of the contractors -- are found to be guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The oil company said key failings included a "bad cement job" at the bottom of the well that allowed gas and liquids to flow up the production casing.
Additionally, the results of a negative pressure test were incorrectly accepted by BP and Transocean, while the rig's blow-out preventer on the seabed failed to automatically seal the well.
"It is evident that a series of complex events, rather than a single mistake or failure, led to the tragedy," BP's outgoing chief executive Tony Hayward said in a summary of the 200-page report.
Transocean dismissed the report, accusing BP of having designed a "fatally flawed" well and making "cost-saving decisions that increased risk -- in some cases, severely."
"This is a self-serving report that attempts to conceal the critical factor that set the stage for the Macondo incident: BP's fatally flawed well design," said the Swiss-based group.
Halliburton said the report contained "substantial omissions and inaccuracies," while BP was responsible for overseeing and testing complex deepwater operations.
The report was also criticized by environmentalists, lawmakers and lawyers representing those who saw their livelihoods washed away by a black tide.
"This report is not BP's mea culpa," said Representative Edward Markey, who chairs the House subcommittee on energy and the environment.
"Of their own eight key findings, they only explicitly take responsibility for half of one. BP is happy to slice up blame, as long as they get the smallest piece."
It took 87 days to stem the flow of oil into the sea and hundreds of miles of coastline from Texas to Florida were sullied, killing wildlife and devastating tourism-dependent local economies.
US lawmakers have accused the oil giant of sacrificing safety to improve its profit margin, a practice Hayward denied during hostile congressional grilling in June. He announced he would quit the top job in October.
Under US law, fines could reach 4,300 dollars per barrel spilled, if negligence is proved.
BP could then theoretically face fines of up to 17.6 billion dollars for the 4.1 million barrels that poured into the sea -- another 800,000 barrels were siphoned up to ships.
The leaking Macondo well has now been secured but the disaster is being examined in a string of court cases and probes, including a criminal investigation by the US Department of Justice.
BP has already spent eight billion dollars trying to contain the disaster, an effort it forecast could eventually cost over 32.2 billion dollars.
Ratings agency Fitch meanwhile upgraded BP's credit rating three notches, citing an end to the threat of more leaks from the Macondo well.
The firm's market value slumped by tens of billions of dollars but its stock has recovered somewhat in recent weeks. Following the report's publication, BP shares closed up 1.32 percent.
