Rawlins, Hounds perfect in 12-0 win
Monessen's Justice Rawlins is off to quite the start in his senior season.
In the Greyhounds' 12-0 five-inning victory over Section 2-A rival Clairton (1-3, 1-2), the California University baseball and football recruit pitched a perfect game for his third win of the season and clubbed his fourth home run as Monessen improved to 3-5 overall and 2-2 in the section.
"He was throwing strikes today, which was the main thing," Monessen coach Bill Matush said. "He's actually struggled with his command at times this year, but today he was on point, getting ahead of the count and using his fastball well. His velocity was higher today than it had been all year, which is a great sign for us."
Rawlins cruised through the five innings of work, striking out 13 of the 15 batters he faced and going to a three-ball count just twice. But the perfect game was nearly ruined early, when with one out in the second Clairton's Tyler Blue launched a ball into the right center field gap. Right fielder Jordan Keleman tracked the ball down and made a tremendous running grab at the warning track.
"Our right fielder made a spectacular play there that ended up saving the perfect game," Matush said. "It's easy to get bored out there when your pitcher is striking everyone out, but to stay focused like that and make that type of play was pretty special."
"They got the ball in play twice and the one deep shot, that was completely my fault," Rawlins said. "I let off on the pitch and left it high and he drove it, but I knew my teammates had my back and they made a great play. But you know, it's a learning process. I need to do a better job of keeping the ball down at times."
With Rawlins mowing down the Bears on the mound, the Greyhounds got all the offense they needed in the first inning. Tyler Shash led off the game with a triple to deep right center and scored when Josh Kucmeroski tripled to deep center. Kucmeroski would score when Rawlins reached on an error, and Rawlins' courtesy runner scored two batters later on a balk to stake Monessen to a 3-0 lead.
Monessen scored three more in the second when Kucmeroski singled home Shash and Rawlins drilled an easy inside-the-park home run to left center.
"I'm just trying to keep seeing the ball and drive it," Rawlins said. "Luckily Josh was on second and I had the opportunity to drive him in. I was just trying to keep it rolling."
The Greyhounds then sent 11 batters to the plate in the third and scored five runs on three Clairton errors and a two-run Luke Doptis double.
Rawlins finished the game with four runs batted in, while Kucmeroski drove in three and scored three times.
"We hit the ball well today," Matush said. "Thats what we need to do. When we hit the ball like that we're a good team. Pitching and defensively we're still working things out, finding people at different positions. It's starting to come together."

Can star power save the Democrats in 2014?
One day you're a young unknown politically-aware American, and the next you're launched into the national spotlight. People love you. Others hate you. Either way, your name is known in households across the fruited plain.
But soon that brightly-burning star begins to dim a little. You think, "Why not parlay my national prominence into a political run? I can make a difference and serve the public."
Such is the story of Sandra Fluke - the progressive activist-turned media darling after Rush Limbaugh called her a slut for lobbying for taxpayer-funded birth control pills. Fluke has filed with the California Democratic Party as a potential candidate for US House District 33 now that Congressman Henry Waxman is retiring.
Oh yeah - and Clay Aiken is running for Congress, too. His story is pretty similar.
Will the star power be enough to win?
In Fluke's case, it's a safe Democratic district. So, she'll just have to get past a primary and maybe her rockstar status as Rush Limbaugh's target will help her do that.
In Aiken's case, the former American Idol runner-up would likely be taking on incumbent Republican Rep. Renee Elmers - if he wins the Democratic primary. But the media attention he'll draw will undoubtedly help.
Star power notwithstanding, there are larger problems for Democrats in 2014.
A mood of anxiety hangs over President Obama and congressional Democrats as they conduct a series of meetings this week to coordinate their 2014 political and legislative agendas.
While their outlook has improved since last fall, Democrats on Capitol Hill are worried the party is in danger of repeating its disastrous midterm performance of 2010 — and that this time, it could cost them the Senate.
"Let's face it, not everyone is on the same page," said one senior Democratic aide.
While the White House and congressional Democrats have sought to present a unified front on raising the minimum wage and extending federal unemployment benefits, divisions over an array of issues including trade, the Keystone XL oil pipeline and how to contain Iran have repeatedly burst to the surface.
That's made it difficult to calm tempers still hot over the bumbled rollout of ObamaCare.
"Some people are still furious about what went down in [the fall] with healthcare and some of the NSA elements," said the senior Democratic aide, referring to the National Security Agency.

Renting a car in Jefferson Parish could be a little more expensive under a bill that seeks to raise the rental car tax to benefit arts programs.
House Bill 585, sponsored by Rep. Julie Stokes, R-Kenner, would allow voters to decide if they want to impose a half-cent sales tax increase on rental cars. The bill initially proposed a 3 percent tax increase, but it was amended on Wednesday in a House committee.
The Municipal, Parochial and Cultural Affairs Committee approved the measure without objection, clearing the bill of its first hurdle.
Under the plan, one-third of the tax is distributed to the city of Kenner to be used for arts and recreation, and the remainder is split up among the Westwego Performing Arts Center, the Jefferson Performing Arts Society, Gretna Cultural Center for Arts, and to Jefferson Parish for operation and maintenance of cultural facilities in the unincorporated parts of the parish.
Alexis Hocevar, vice president of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, called it a discriminatory tax.
He said in Denver, rental car taxes have reached 48 percent because of taxes being piled on throughout the years.
He said the taxes for a rental car at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, which is in Kenner, are already 25 percent.
"If a rental car costs too much, people will just take a cab," he said.

Bureau of Economic Geology, The University of Texas at Austin (www.beg.utexas.edu).
Second Annual Conference on Carbon Sequestration, Hilton Alexandria Mark Center, Alexandria, Virginia, May 5-8, 2003
of CO2 Sequestered
as a Residual Phase
Mark H. Holtz
Geologic sequestration of CO2 in brine-saturated formations has been proposed as a possible method to reduce emissions of this greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. To optimize this method the largest possible volume of CO2 should be sequester over geologic time. This optimization goal can best be archived by sequestering CO2 as a residual phase under the most advantageous Geological conditions. Geological conditions that impact the volume of CO2 stored as a residual phase include petrophysics, burial effects, temperature and pressure gradients, and CO2 pressure-volume-temperature character. Analyzing and integrating all of these elements results in an optimal CO2 sequestration depth for a given geologic subprovience.
The integrated sequestration optimization model was constructed from petrophysical, geological, and CO2 characteristics. Sequestering CO2 as a residual nonwetting phase is the key to obtaining it's residency in rock over geologic time. Thus residual saturation and porosity were pivotal modeling characteristics. Sediment burial depth effects porosity, temperature, and pressure and thus they were integrated together. Finally, CO2 density as a function of temperature and pressure was accounted for, resulting in a model that combines all the salient properties that effects the amount of CO2 that can reside in buried rock.
A sequestration optimization curve for the Frio Formation, Upper Texas Gulf coast indicates that the largest volume of CO2 could be trapped as a residual phase at about 11,000 feet. The sequestration optimization curve of depth verses CO2 density is a concave down parabolic shape with a broad maximum indicating the optimum sequestration depth. Additionally, this depth decreases the risk of surface leakage and increases the pressure differential between hydrostatic and lithostatic, both characteristics with sequestration benefits.

WILLIAM Wordsworth descendants are to judge a poetry competition involving local school children.
The contest has been organised by Stampers Restaurant in Ambleside which is celebrating the 200th anniversary of Wordsworth becoming 'Distributor of Stamps for Westmorland' and starting work in The Old Stamp House.
The building on Church Street and opposite The Priest Hole, is two-tier with the street-level part occupied by national pasty chain Greggs, and the cellar being home to Stampers restaurant run by Helen Abel.
At the same time as Wordsworth went to work in Ambleside; he also moved from Dove Cottage, Grasmere, to Rydal Mount near Ambleside, where he lived for 37 years until he died in 1850 at the age of 80.
The Wordsworth family still own Rydal Mount and Gardens and have offered to judge the youngsters' work. A reception for winners and their families will be held at Stampers in March.
Ambleside Primary School and the Lakes School are taking part.

Alzheimer's Variation May Often Go Unrecognized: Study
'Hippocampal sparing' disease tends to affect men more, at younger ages
FRIDAY, May 2, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Many patients with a newly identified subtype of Alzheimer's disease are misdiagnosed and don't receive proper treatment, researchers report.
They analyzed the brains of more than 1,800 Alzheimer's patients and found that 11 percent of them had this subtype, called "hippocampal sparing Alzheimer's disease."
About 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimer's, which means that nearly 600,000 of them could have this variant of the disease, according to the research team at the Mayo Clinic in Florida.
The findings were scheduled for presentation Thursday at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, in Philadelphia.
People with hippocampal sparing Alzheimer's tend to be men and they are afflicted at a much younger age than other Alzheimer's patients, the study found. The symptoms of this subtype are often quite different from the most common form of the disease, which affects the hippocampus, the brain's memory center.
Symptoms of hippocampal sparing Alzheimer's include behavioral problems such as frequent and sometimes angry outbursts, vision problems, and the sense that their limbs do not belong to them and are controlled by an unidentifiable "alien" force, the Mayo researchers said.
These patients also experience a much quicker decline than those with the most common form of Alzheimer's, the study found.
"Many of these patients, however, have memories that are near normal, so clinicians often misdiagnose them with a variety of conditions that do not match the underlying neuropathology," study author Melissa Murray, an assistant professor of neuroscience, said in a Mayo news release.
"What is tragic is that these patients are commonly misdiagnosed and we have new evidence that suggests drugs now on the market for AD could work best in these hippocampal sparing patients -- possibly better than they work in the common form of the disease," she added.
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, it should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

The government's proposal to abolish the May Day bank holiday, and move it to October to provide an autumn attraction for the tourist industry, has been criticised as a political attack on a traditional trade union celebration. In fact,1 May is a much older celebration, related to the weather. The Celts marked May Day as the beginning of summer, when cattle and sheep were driven up into the hills for grazing. The autumn festival of Halloween was the end of summer; flocks were brought down from upper pastures and hunters were given the freedom of the hills.
There were many versions of the celebration, and most included the ancient skill of kindling fire, using friction. Sometimes this was done by rubbing together two pieces of dry oak, but other times large ritual wheels were built and turned by teams of men to create enough friction for the point of a central shaft to ignite.
Often two large bonfires were then lit, and the cattle driven between them to purify the herd, and protect them against evil, natural and supernatural. Humans who leapt over the flames were also blessed and protected; for example, those going on a long journey, or pregnant women wanting to ensure a safe birth. In some places, notably Scotland and Ireland, all fires in hearths across the village were extinguished before the ceremony, and afterwards embers of the bonfires were carried to every home to reignite the home fires.

Starting lineups
Troy 107, Arkansas St. 83
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) - Cedric Jackson had 28 points and Boo Ramsey added 26 to help Troy set six Sun Belt Tournament records en route to a 107-83 victory over Arkansas State in Friday's first round.
Troy (14-14) will face defending tournament champion Louisiana-Lafayette in the quarterfinals on Sunday.
The Trojans had an NCAA Division I season high of 3-pointers in a game, with 23, to break the 20 mark set by both West Virginia and Utah State.
Their tournament records included most points in a single game and most points in one half - 61 in the first. The 3-point record easily eclipsed the tournament record of 15 and their 40 attempts also broke a single-game tournament mark of 33.
Ramsey hit 7-of-8 3-point attempts to set the individual mark for 3-point proficiency in a single game. Jackson and Ramsey ignited the Trojans by sinking all 10 of their 3-point attempts, including five apiece, in the first half.
Jackson's final 3-pointer sparked a 17-1 surge that propelled Troy to a 61-29 advantage at the 3:34 mark of the first half.
The Trojans were 15-of-22 in 3-point attempts in the first half and led 66-37 at the break.
Arkansas State (12-18), which had defeated Troy 91-68 on Feb. 1, never seriously challenged in the second half.
Jackson had 28, including 23 in the opening half, and Ramsey finished with 26 to lead the Trojans in their inaugural appearance in the Sun Belt Tournament.
Troy senior guard Bobby Dixon aided the Trojan attack with a tournament record 14 assists.
Isaac Wells scored 27 to lead Arkansas State. The Indians finished with 11 3-pointers.

Over seventy years ago, the United States House of Representatives formed the House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate alleged subversive acts and disloyalty by American citizens and government employees having Communist ties.
Through the machinations of HUAC, those who willingly testified, and the actions of frightened motion picture studios, over 300 people in the entertainment industry lost homes, jobs, and their good names, many never to work in their chosen field again.
As a young actor, Stanley Dyrector heard stories about many blacklisted performers. Later, through his writing career and hosting of a cable television show, he befriended and interviewed several of them, learning their disturbing stories. Dyrector has compiled transcriptions of these interviews into the fascinating and thoughtful book, Shedding Light on the Hollywood Blacklist: Conversations with Participants.
Through Dyrector's work, history lives again, opening the closet door on the terrible events these people suffered, many of whom had fought defending this country, supporting its troops, or working to better society. Many fled the country to find work, others took menial jobs, while some wrote using fronts.
Dyrector's inquisitive interviews with people like Abraham Polonsky, Jeff Corey, Marsha Hunt, John Randolph, and many others reveal the heartbreaking struggle these people endured and how they made it through the suffering. They kept their honor and dignity and emerged intact, sadder but wiser.
The writer struggled organizing the book, reliving his guests' terrible experiences while putting down his own thoughts. The painful memories of the victims offered him so much food for thought.
Dyrector hopes readers never forget this dark period, particularly students and filmmakers. While he has plans for a couple of other books, Dyrector is very proud of this work, which offers the realization that blacklisting could so easily happen again in our politically close-minded times.
Stanley Dyrector's book, Shedding Light on the Hollywood Blacklist: Conversations with Participants, is available through BearManor Media, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other book sites. He has upcoming book signings at Samuel French on Sunset Boulevard, Skylight Books on Vermont Avenue, and Chevalier Books in Larchmont Village.

You are here: FIA Region I News FIA reveals what data is being tracked and how the public reacts to connected cars
Previous Next
Publication date: 23 November 2015
On 24 November, FIA Region I revealed exactly what data new vehicles are able to track and transmit. The investigation of two vehicles, a conventionally-fuelled vehicle and an electric vehicle found that, in addition to the creation of driver profiles, vehicle location, trip length, personal information synced from mobile phones are tracked and can be transmitted back to the manufacturer (1). A public survey (2) looking at the publics familiarity with connected vehicles shows a high level of interest for connectivity. However, the respondents, from 12 European countries, also issued a clear message: 90% say that vehicle data belongs to the owner or driver of the vehicle. This message was relayed to MEPs at during the launch event. Citizens are most concerned about the disclosure of private information (88%), commercial use of personal data (86%), vehicle hacking and vehicle tracking. 95% of people surveyed believed that there was a need for specific legislation to protect their rights to their vehicle and driver data. Thierry Willemarck, FIA Region I President said: There is a clear disconnect in what is being tracked and what citizens are willing to accept when it comes to car data. Not only strong data protection, but informed consent and free choice of service providers need to be addressed. Connected cars are already on the market, tracking and able to communicate private information about consumers. Now is the time for policymakers to take a strong stand and defend consumers. MEP Evelyne Gebhardt, said Consumers have a right to know what data they are sharing when they drive their car. Currently, only vehicle manufacturers have access to this data. Europeans deserve to control their data and to which service provider they choose to share it with. They also must have the possibility to shut off communication. Based on the data in these two studies, FIA Region I and its members across Europe are launching the My Car My Data campaign (www.mycarmydata.eu), to raise public awareness on vehicle data and to call for privacy legislation and a fair after-market for connected vehicle services. With connected vehicles, this campaign demands: DATA PROTECTION Legislation should ensure that drivers should retain ownership of the data and give informed consent on how it is used. FREE CHOICE Drivers should have the right to choose their preferred service provider. FAIR COMPETITION Service providers should have the right to develop safe products and functionalities. The campaign and studies were launched at a cocktail hosted by MEP Evelyne Gebhardt, (S&D DE) in the European Parliament Strasbourg on 24 November 2015.

The GP22ECO/GP22ECO-M was the first variant in EMD 710 ECO repower program, the program launched by EMD in 2008, was targeted at rebuilding older GP38-2's, since OEM builders have not out shopped a 4-axle locomotive in 25+ years. The EMD ECO program has since branched out to other models. The core unit receives a rail up rebuild. The old 645 prime mover is removed and a new 8–710G3A–T2 prime mover is installed. The units also receive new micro processors, cabs and carbodies are refurbished, and new parts (alternator) are installed. This yields a 25+% reduction in fuel usage and brings to locomotive up Tier 2 standards.
How to decode this EMD ECO designation.
GP- General Purpose (core unit)
2- 2,000 hp
2- Tier 2 emissions
ECO - repowered w/ 710 ECO prime mover
M- Is a mother in a mother/slug pair
EMD rebuilt to core units into the two 710ECO demostrators. EMDX 7101 and EMDX 7102 both GP22ECO's. The 7102 has since been sold to Ferromex.
KCS was the first customer for the GP22ECO/GP22ECO-M order its first units in 2009. There are currently 9 GP22ECO's on KCS's roster and 5 on KCSM's roster.
