Beltre, Rangers blast Astros behind Tepesch
Slugger plates four, Texas homers thrice, hurler rebounds in Houston
HOUSTON -- With the cavalry temporarily stalled in the Minor Leagues, Rangers starter Nick Tepesch pointed himself back in the right direction on Sunday afternoon. A major outburst by his offensive teammates helped him do that.
Tepesch held the Astros to one run over six innings while his teammates were bludgeoning their way to a season high in runs with a 12-7 victory at Minute Maid Park. The Rangers have now won four straight games and 15 of their last 22.
"Tepesch did a good job. ... He threw the ball over the plate and executed the game plan very well," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He had a good sinker working today, and his breaking ball had bite. He did a lot of good things today. Hopefully he got back on track."
Adrian Beltre had four hits, including a three-run home run, to lead the Rangers' offense. But rookie infielder Leury Garcia really had a blast in just his fourth start. He had three hits, four runs scored and his first Major League stolen base while filling in for Ian Kinsler at second base. The Rangers, with their third sweep of the season, have now won 19 of their last 23 games against the Astros.
"No matter who we're playing, we're trying to win," Beltre said. "The Astros may not be playing the best ball, but they got guys over there who want to win. We had to come here and produce and we did. It's always nice to sweep, whether it's the Astros, Angels or Oakland. It's not easy just because it's the Astros."
This was Tepesch's seventh Major League start, and he had lost his last two while allowing 11 runs in 10 2/3 innings. That had people wondering how fast Colby Lewis and/or Martin Perez could complete their medical rehabilitation assignments.
But Tepesch regained the fastball command that had eluded him in two previous starts. He limited the Astros to four hits and one walk while striking out a season-high eight batters. Tepesch is now 3-3 with a 4.03 ERA on the season.
"It was mainly about my fastball command and staying consistent with it," Tepesch said. "I thought it was pretty good today. It's something to build off and take into the next start, keep that same focus."
Lewis, on the other hand, made just one start on rehab assignment last Thursday and got through just two innings. He is now dealing with some triceps soreness, and the Rangers haven't scheduled his next start.
Perez, who is recovering from a broken left arm, made his second rehab start on Saturday night for Double-A Frisco and allowed eight runs in 3 1/3 innings. On Sunday, the Rangers activated Perez off the disabled list and optioned him to Frisco. That means he is recovered from the broken arm, but not ready to be an option at the Major League level. He will likely move up to Triple-A Round Rock later this week.
The Rangers will press on with Tepesch and fellow rookie right-hander Justin Grimm, who is 2-2 with a 3.45 ERA and pitches on Monday night in the opener of a three-game series against Oakland. The two rookies are battling to help the Rangers win games and defend their spots in the rotation.
"That kind of goes as an outside thing that I don't want to focus on," Tepesch said. "The main thing is sticking to who I am as a pitcher and doing what I can to help the team win."
The Astros have been searching for starting pitching help, but the Rangers were rough on Jordan Lyles, who was making his third start after being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma 10 days ago. He lasted four innings, allowing eight runs on 11 hits and three walks.
Lance Berkman had an RBI double in the first to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead and David Murphy's two-run home run finished off a four-run rally in the third. The Rangers added three more in the fourth as the flustered Lyles even balked in a run.
"He just didn't have his fastball command," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "Against a ballclub like the Rangers -- they're a good-hitting team anyway -- you fall behind in the count and you put fastballs in the zone, they're going to do pretty much what they did today."
Edgar Gonzalez took over for Lyles in the fifth, but gave up a leadoff home run to Leonys Martin. Beltre finished it off with his three-run home run, which started out as a double and then graduated to four bases after an official review by the umpires. Replays showed the ball hit above the line on the left-field wall.
Mitch Moreland followed with a single, which was insignificant except it meant that every Rangers starter had a hit on Sunday afternoon. That's not too bad considering that Kinsler, Nelson Cruz and catchers A.J. Pierzynski and Geovany Soto were all out of the lineup. Robinson Chirinos, in his first start at catcher for Texas, contributed a double.
"Garcia was the one guy I didn't expect to have a big day today because he hasn't been in there very much," Washington said. "But he went up there and had a good game. That's what you like to see from your extra guys."
The Rangers hit nine home runs in three games at Minute Maid Park this weekend after hitting just 14 in their first 19 road games this season.

A STATE-of-the-art facility for the elderly in Bishop's Waltham has moved a step closer.
Age Concern Hampshire plans to move to a new building on land by the parish council's offices at Jubilee Hall.
One half of the building will serve as a day care centre for the elderly, including dementia services, while the other part of the building will serve as a wellbeing centre, creating around 10 new jobs.
Those plans have progressed now, with Kenn Scaddon informing the parish council this week that they have now submitted a formal planning application to Winchester City Council.
Rick Smith, director of Age Concern Hampshire, said: "Every way I think about this, it's a positive thing — for Bishop's Waltham residents who need the services but can't travel far, and for the segment of the population who will benefit from the jobs."
The site will be built by the Bishop's Waltham Educational Institute, which awards grants 'in the interests of social welfare and education' in the area.
Age Concern will rent it from the institute, which in turn will rent the land from the parish at a peppercorn rent.
The charity's nearest facility is at Swanmore Village Hall, and that will continue to operate.
The parish council is hopeful the move will ease some of its parking problems as the new facility would add around 60 spaces to the current car park, bringing the total to 140.
The estimated cost of the car park would be around £100,000, plus a grant towards it of £30,000 would come from the city.
Public car parks are generally the responsibility of the city council, but the parish is in negotiations to manage the spaces itself and keep the revenue.
Parish councillor Terry Wilson said at a recent parish meeting: "We have contributed the land so I don't see why the city council should get the benefit of the land we give up. Why should we give up the land for nothing?"

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The seventh-ranked Saint Leo men's soccer team has done its part to set up an epic regular season-ending showdown against the nation's number one team as the Lions defeated Eckerd College 1-0 in Sunshine State Conference action on Wednesday night.
The win means that the Lions (12-1-1, 6-0-1 SSC) will welcome No. 1 Rollins into University Field on Saturday night for a top-10 showdown with the Tars. Much is on the line in the 7:30 p.m. game as the winner will claim the SSC Regular Season Championship and the top seed in the conference tournament the following week. In addition, the winner could earn the top spot in the South Region with a chance to host that portion of the NCAA Tournament.
As far as the game, Chris Lavie scored the lone goal of the contest as he was the recipient of a line-drive corner kick from Edgar Herrera that skipped through the box and was deposited to the back of the net to send the Lions into halftime with the momentum.
For Lavie, it was his fourth goal of the fall, and Herrera notched his eighth assist of the season.
The Eckerd (4-10-2, 2-5-0 SSC) defense kept the Lions' top offensive weapons, Maximilian Schulze-Geisthovel and Javeim Blanchette, in check this time around after both forwards did damage in the first matchup.
The Tritons pressed Saint Leo's defense in the second half and forced Lions' goalkeeper Manuel Schoenhuber to make a sprawling save by the post in the closing moments.
Schoenhuber made three saves on the night while Eckerd's Toni Virtanen stopped six Saint Leo shots.

REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio (AP) -- Three Ohio proposals are among 61 finalists in a federal competition that will provide millions of dollars in support for school districts.
The U.S. Department of Education is expected by year's end to announce 15 to 25 applications picked to share in nearly $400 million through the competition. It's part of the "Race to the Top" education initiative under President Barack Obama's administration.
More than 370 applications were submitted. The Ohio finalists came from Cleveland schools, the Reynoldsburg district in suburban Columbus and a network of 15 districts in rural southeast Ohio called the Ohio Appalachian Personalized Learning Network Collaborative.
The four-year awards will range from $5 million to $40 million. They're meant to support plans to personalize learning, close achievement gaps and prepare youngsters for college and career success.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/6/2013 (1530 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
On a sunny afternoon in September 2008, the University of Manitoba signed a letter of intent to house a new Winnipeg football stadium within the sports precinct of its Fort Garry campus.
Four years and nine months later, Investors Group Field opened at the northwest corner of University of Crescent and Chancellor Matheson Road.
Winnipeg Blue Bomber fans could argue that should have been enough time to figure out some means of getting people to and from the new stadium in a somewhat orderly fashion. That, of course, didn't happen on Wednesday, for a variety of reasons.
The football club cites the unexpected willingness of Winnipeggers to take public transit to Bomber games, but that effort likely helped prevent even worse congestion.
Fans can blame the choice of location for the stadium, but Canad Inns Stadium was located in an even more congested area of the city and Pembina Highway, on paper, has a tremendous capacity as a traffic artery.
While the Bombers, the U of M, Winnipeg Transit and police continue to dissect Wednesday's debacle, it appears the transportation chaos wound up being the cumulative result of a series of small bad decisions.
Stopping every driver heading to the U of M campus is inefficient, as any Winnipeg Folk Festival parking-lot attendant could tell you. Given the benefit of hindsight, failing to place experienced police at key traffic checkpoints was another obvious mistake. So was forcing buses to queue up outside the stadium because there was nowhere else for them to go once passengers disembarked.
Another contributing factor was a lack of experience running a major event -- and the absence of continuity at the top of the organizations ultimately in charge of it.
In 2008, when the U of M was chosen as the football club's new home, current Bombers president and CEO Garth Buchko was running a pair of Winnipeg radio stations. Current City of Winnipeg chief administrative officer Phil Sheegl, who's also the chairman of BBB Stadium Inc., was the newly recruited director of the city's planning, property and development department.
The entire stadium project was led by lawyer and property developer David Asper, not the Winnipeg Football Club. Subsequent transit, traffic and parking studies were conducted in good faith to the best abilities of all the people involved -- and then implemented up to two years later.
St. Norbert Coun. Justin Swandel, whose ward includes the U of M's Fort Garry campus, endured what he describes as a very frustrating Wednesday night. But he still believes the game-day plan can be salvaged.
"The road capacity was there. The management of the flow was the issue and I think we'll resolve that over the next few days and over the next events," he said Friday.
The Winnipeg Football Club has no choice but to resolve it, as anything other than a radical improvement will result in financial disaster for the Bombers -- and taxpayers by extension.
The football club is on the hook for repaying $95 million of the stadium's $200-million price tag, plus interest. The first priority is a $10-million BBB Stadium loan to purchase advertising ribbons and other stadium amenities added on to the project after the "guaranteed maximum price" was set at $190 million.
Then comes an $85-million stadium-building loan that's currently serviced by the province. The time frame for paying that off was initially pegged at 45 years.
The entire purpose of building this stadium was to provide the Winnipeg Football Club with new revenues and as a result, long-term financial stability. If fans are too annoyed to visit the venue, those revenues won't materialize. That would endanger the non-profit Bombers and serve as a further drain on the taxpayers carrying the loan.
In other words, even if you don't care about football and have no intention of ever visiting Investors Group Field, it's in your best interest for the Bombers to solve their transportation woes.

Why Did Linux Mint Ax mintConstructor?
It's no great secret that our organization Reglue uses Linux Mint on many of our outgoing computers. I run Mint on one of my work computers and at home as well. Linux Mint has given us the opportunity to create a respin for educational purposes within our non profit, largely due to an app named mintConstructor. It provides a fairly simple method of making custom systems using Linux Mint as the base.

RancherOS: A tiny Linux for Docker lovers
Like the various Linux server and desktop distributions, the container-oriented Linux distributions mix and match various projects and components to construct a complete container infrastructure. These distros generally combine a minimal OS kernel, an orchestration framework, and an ecosystem of container services. RancherOS not only fits the mold, but takes the minimal kernel and the container paradigm to extremes.
Review: System76's Galago Pro solves "just works" Linux's Goldilocks problem
The Linux world has long maintained a very specific rite of passage: wiping the default operating system from your laptop and plugging in a USB stick with your favorite distro's live CD. Some of us get a little, dare I say, giddy every time we wipe that other OS away and see that first flash of GRUB. Of course, rites of passage are supposed to be one-time events. Once you've wiped Windows or OS X a time or two, that giddiness vanishes—replaced by a feeling of annoyance, a kind of tax on being a Linux user.

Tom Brady's first regular-season game in Foxborough after serving his four-game "Deflategate" suspension. Listen for wild cheers of support — and some nasty chants about Roger Goodell — and look for Brady to fill the air with regulation footballs. Many of those are likely to land in the hands of Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola and a new favorite, TE Martellus Bennett, who had three TD catches last week.
Brady was admittedly a little rusty in his first game back from his suspension, but still managed a 406-yard, three-touchdown performance in the Patriots' 33-13 win over the Browns.
The previous time the Bengals went to New England, they had one of their worst games in recent years. Brady threw for a pair of touchdowns and the Patriots ran for 220 yards overall in a 43-17 win. Cincinnati hasn't won at New England since 1986, dropping their past six there.
Brady is 5-1 against them with 12 TDs and a 101.2 passer rating.

Dean and Chancellor Reappointed to Second Term
Monday, February 28, 2011 • Campus Announcement
At an Academic Convocation held on our campus Monday evening, Anne Glynn Mackoul, Executive Chair of the seminary's Board of Trustees, announced a decision by the Board to reappoint the seminary Dean, Archpriest John Behr, and Chancellor, Archpriest Chad Hatfield, to their positions for additional five-year terms, beginning in 2012. In reappointing the two leaders, said Mrs. Mackoul, the Board recognized "the considerable accomplishments and distinctive leadership" of each leader and also reconfirmed the Board's commitment to the model of shared governance instituted at the beginning of their first terms.
In 2007 the Board devised a unique model of shared governance for the seminary, assigning to Fr. John as Dean primary responsibility for the spiritual and academic life of the school, and Fr. Chad as Chancellor primary responsibility for financial and operational leadership, but with elements of shared responsibility in all areas between the two administrators. At the same time the Board established a board position of Executive Chair, elected from among the lay trustees, to serve as a point of reference for the Board and to consult with the Dean and Chancellor.
In evaluating the strengths and achievements of these two administrators, the Board took particular note of their success as a team in leading the seminary. "Their particular gifts and personal attributes are complementary," said Mrs. Mackoul, "allowing the seminary and its students to benefit from the best of both approaches to leadership. We could not have anticipated the financial crisis that so dramatically impacted their first years in office. The board has been gratified by their grace under pressure and clear-sighted focus on both the immediate needs of the seminary and the long-range vision and mission of St. Vladimir's.
"We are particularly impressed," she continued, "with the new curriculum, developed to support enhanced pastoral training and practical preparation of priests for Orthodox parishes and including new courses in missiology. We also welcome the many significant events on our campus that fulfill the seminary's mission to serve Christ, his Church, and the world through Orthodox Christian theological education, research, and scholarship, and the promotion of inter-Orthodox cooperation.
"Many thanks also are due to the alumni, benefactors, and donors who support the seminary, both materially and in prayer," she concluded. "The work of the seminary leadership, both past and future, would be impossible without their help."
Fr. John, in acknowledging the renewal of his role, said, "I am very honored to be asked to serve the Church for a further term as Dean of St. Vladimir's. Many new initiatives have been begun over recent years, and I look forward to seeing them bear fruit in the lives of our graduates and our service to the Church more generally."
Likewise, Fr. Chad expressed his gratitude, saying, "I am thankful to the many who were part of the evaluation process which contributed to the decision of our Board of Trustees to offer a second five-year term to both the Dean and Chancellor. Much of our first term was dominated by our institutional response to the economic challenges of our time. I expect this to continue in the second term, but an equally strong force driving the agenda will be this administration's determination to keep SVOTS the leading Orthodox seminary in both pastoral formation and academic excellence. I look forward to meeting the great opportunities God will provide for us."
In Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and non-Orthodox contexts, the profile of St. Vladimir's had been raised by various initiatives of the current administrative team. In particular, the Board noted international scholarly campus colloquia on the subjects: "Rome, Constantinople, and Canterbury: Mother Churches" (2008); "The Council and the Tomos: Twentieth-century Landmarks towards a Twenty-first-century Church" (2009); and "Hellenism & Orthodoxy" (2010); and major events, such as the recent concert performance of the St. Matthew Passion, which drew a diverse audience of over one thousand persons to the heart of Manhattan. Especially notable was the reception of the prestigious "Unity of Orthodox Peoples Award," presented to the school by His Holiness Kirill, patriarch of Moscow and all Russia, in 2010.
Faculty member Dr. Paul Meyendorff, The Father Alexander Schmemann Professor of Liturgical Theology at the seminary, commented on these efforts, saying, "The faculty is deeply appreciative of the efforts of Frs. John and Chad in leading the seminary through this challenging era in the life of the seminary and the Orthodox Church, and we offer them our strong support."
Theodore Bazil, the seminary's Associate Chancellor for Advancement, also congratulated the Dean and Chancellor. "With more than forty years of institutional and working history behind me, I can attest to the leadership demonstrated by the previous deans, faculty, and administration at St. Vladimir's. Based on the strength of their character and unique talents, Fr. Chad and Fr. John have proven they are eminently prepared to continue to follow this remarkable tradition as the seminary faces new challenges to articulate and witness to the faith in a secular society," said Mr. Bazil.
Particularly gratifying to the Board was the strong support of the students for the renewal, who were invited to comment during the evaluation process. The Student Body, through their Student Council President, Aaron Oliver, expressed their congratulations to the Dean and Chancellor. "On behalf of the Student Council, I would like to congratulate Fr. John and Fr. Chad on their appointment to a new term. Their complementary leadership has done much to support student life and formation at the seminary, and also to usher in a new era of student involvement and initiative," said Seminarian Oliver.

John Behr, who was delivering the "Sir Daniel and Countess Bernadine Murphy Donohue Chair in Eastern Catholic Theology" annual lecture at the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome, was unable to be present at St. Vladimir's for the announcement of the reappointment of the Dean and Chancellor.

I love these. Part pedestal, part small coffee table. They work really well in pairs and both color ranges are beauuuutiful in person. They are also a nice stand for larger artwork, I used one of these for a client that has a huge collection of big time artwork. We stood a Nautilus shell on this, a very natural pedestal and display for a gorgeous piece of oceanic history... Plus, the wood from these is reclaimed Peroba wood or mahogany. Imagine 4 of these? two mahogany and two Peroba as a huge coffee table???
Love it! Reclaimed peroba wood coffee table.Added 9 Years Ago from Netsolstores

I order several parts for a Chevy Geo that my daughter and her husband owned. They had drove the car from Michigan and there were parts that were needed to get them up and running in good shape. After spending several hours on different web sites I found Go-Parts.com. Go-Parts.com had the best choice of the parts I needed and the best prices. Needless to say the shipping and delivery were as promised and I had my daughters car up to standards for Texas within two weeks. Thanks Go-Parts.com.

Toll Holdings has posted a 21 per cent rise in net profit to $192 million for the first six months of this financial year, and joined other transport companies in forecasting improved earnings in the second half.
The transport and logistics company boosted its earnings on the back of a 2.5 per cent increase in revenue to $4.5 billion for the six months to December, which was in line with analyst expectations.
Toll has declared an interim dividend of 12.5 cents a share, up 1 cent on the prior period.
The half-year result includes a net gain of $22 million after tax from the sale of Toll's vehicle distribution business and a line-haul and warehousing businesses.
Toll has also booked a $30 million impairment of some assets its marine logistics business in Asia after a strategic review of the unit.
Stripping out the one-off items, the company's net profit rose almost 8 per cent to $174 million for the half.
The company said it expects its earnings in the second half to be better than the same period last financial year. Ports and rail company Asciano echoed a similar sentiment on Tuesday when it delivered its results.
Toll it said it was ''not assuming any improvement in the external economic environment'', but an ''ongoing focus on organic growth and internal productivity'' was expected to boost second-half earnings.
The company will pay the interim dividend on April 2.


text: Candy Spelling was on The Talk yesterday and said that Tori Spelling has plenty of money. Tori likes to pretend she doesn't have any money and that is why she is forced to do things like reality television. Tori does reality television because no one with any sense would hire her to actually act in anything. She loves being famous and on television and loves the attention. Candy listed all of the ventures that Tori has going for her and says the pair text everyday and Candy would know if Tori really was broke. Plus, Candy said that she wouldn't let her daughter or grand kids be broke and has already bought them one house and would buy them another if needed. Candy says she doesn't watch much of Tori's new show but that the hospital portion was real because she visited Tori in the hospital and also suffers from migraines like Tori. I think most of the time Tori deals with her migraines like the rest of us at home, but since the cameras were there and filming, why not go ahead and just admit yourself to the hospital. It fills up an entire episode of the show and she gets even more attention from the doctors and nurses.

Kingston and Surbiton's MP Edward Davey will back gay marriage in this afternoon's House of Commons vote.
He said: "I think if a couple wish to declare their love and commitment to each other, I do not think the state should get in the way.
"I think marriage is a fantastic institution, I am very happily married, and I think this bill will strengthen marriage.
"I am absolutely determined that we defend freedom of speech but equally it is right that couples who want to get married should.
"In a diverse society we should respect people's diversity and rights, and this is part of that."
The majority of Liberal Democrats are expected to vote for the proposals, standing by their slogan 'Taking pride in delivering equal marriage'.
If passed, the new marriage bill will allow people of the same sex to get married, unless they belong to a religion that opts out.
Certain Christian denominations, such as the Church of England, and Church in Wales, will not be allowed to perform gay marriages.
The bill amends the 1955 marriage act, inserting a definition of marriage defined as 'the union of 2 people, regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity'.

Death of Lillibeth
Dec 31, 1989 — Minter City MS
I had just finished our family visit for the Christmas Holidays and was packing to return to Fort Worth, TX. My goal was to drive back on New Year's Eve so I could watch football all the next day.
It was early in the morning. A dense fog covered the flat, Delta country of my parent's house. I continued to pack the car even though there were doubts we could see the road. Mother had finished breakfast for us and was sitting at the small kitchen table with my two girls, 9 and 4. She was pretending to have a tea party, which she loved to do with her grandaughters.
Without warning, she fell over onto the floor on her right side. We rushed in to see what was the commotion and began trying CPR, but to no avail. We called for an ambulance but they had a 18 mile drive and they would not be able to even see the turn-off for the county road. Dad was upset and crying. He drove out to the highway to flag down the ambulance. Mom always got a little too stressed and excited when visitors came. She thought she had upset stomach so took some Tums. Turned out that she had a massive heart attack. There was no chance for survival being so far from a hospital.
The family discussed funeral arrangements. The grandson's birthdate was 2 January and my sister didn't want the funeral on his birthday. We didn't want to wait any longer so the funeral was scheduled for January 1st----the next day---or about 28 to 30 hours to prepare for it.
Even with such little time to announce it, crowds filled the funeral home in Greenwood. I have seldom been to a funeral of this size. And so many gave up their New Year's Day events----hunting, football bowls, family time---to attend her funeral.
Lillibeth loved to have tea parties with her girls. That was the last thing she did on this earth.

Get Organized: Manage Your Medical Bills and Doctor Visits
Keeping your healthcare in order may leave you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. It often involves managing medical bills, filing health insurance claims, making follow-up appointments, and keeping track of various doctor visits and contact information. Staying organized is especially complicated for people with a chronic illness or serious medical problem, but there are a few things you can do to better manage your medical expenses and organize your doctor visits.
Track Medical Expenses
Medical bills can be confusing, especially when they come from multiple doctors or for multiple visits, tests, and treatments. Regardless of whether you file your own insurance claims, keeping track of the status of your medical bills will provide you with the information you need if a problem or dispute arises with your provider or insurance company.
The first step is to begin keeping a detailed log, or record, of every medical appointment or service you attend, and any prescription drug you purchase. In this record, summarize each medical appointment and include any lab work, tests, or procedures that were conducted. Keep a running log of all medical bills as you receive them. Check the bills carefully to make sure they are accurate, complete, and correspond to your original records of the care you received.
When you visit a doctor or have a medical test or procedure done, make sure you pay the correct copayment at the time of service.
File and Manage Insurance Claims
When you join a health care plan, get a written copy of your policy from your insurer. Make sure you fully understand your benefits, and don't hesitate to ask questions. Communicate any limitations of your plan with your healthcare providers so they can help keep your out-of-pocket costs as low as possible.
Most medical practices employ staff to process insurance paper work. Therefore, it is reasonable for you to expect your doctor's office to file claims on your behalf. If you file your own medical claims, it's especially important to keep a detailed record of each claim. This record can be kept on paper or in a computer spreadsheet program. It should include the appointment date, doctor's name, amount owed, amount paid, when the insurance claim was filed, status of the claim, reimbursements received, and any other important notes.
If you have a chronic condition or serious medical problem, or if you are unable to keep up with your medical expenses for any reason, you may want to enlist help. You can hire a health insurance claims assistant who can help with filing and tracking your claims, reviewing your medical bills, appealing rejected claims, and working with your healthcare providers and insurance company to resolve disputes. Claims assistants usually charge an hourly or annual fee, which can vary widely.
Organize Doctor Visits
It is your primary care provider's job to coordinate your care and keep your records well-organized. This is a good place to start. Obtain a copy of your medical records from your primary care provider and create your own health journal. In your health journal, write down the dates and other relevant information about any illnesses, injuries, hospitalizations, surgeries, or allergies you have had. In addition, include the medications you are taking and your family's history of diseases or conditions.
Your doctor can tell you when and how often you need health check-ups, including screening tests, and any future treatments. Record this information in a multi-year calendar. In the calendar, write down all medical appointments you have and reminders about when to schedule upcoming appointments.
If your medical care is complicated or you have a large family, you may want to use software to help you. This type of system allows you to log all your family members' medical histories, prescription details, and doctors' appointments.
With a little trial and error, it won't be difficult to find a system that efficiently keeps your medical bills, insurance claims, and doctor appointments organized. Keeping an accurate, ongoing log of your healthcare will save you time, money, and relieve a tremendous amount of stress, which, by the way, is good for your health.

Everyone knew last night's meeting would be tense. When you are looking for a least worst-solution and not a greatest-best one, well, it makes people cranky. And sad. And angry.
I'm referring to the June 26th Community Development Committee meeting to discuss Wauwatosa's strategy against powerline Goliath American Transmission Company (ATC). The room was full of Davids, most of them from Walnut Road. That neighborhood seems to be the reluctant best bad choice for the IV lines to feed our growing need for electric power.
Mixing metaphors, we've supersized our electric power needs. Maybe we should go on a diet. But that's not a conversation many are willing to have right now. The big lines are going to be raised or laid somewhere, and the only question is where.
My own neighborhood, along the Underwood Parkway, seems at least temporarily spared the incursion of the high voltage lines, despite being the "cheapest" route for ATC. Not only is it effectively property owners' front yards: it's park land and belonging to all of us on one side, wetland keeping a delicate balance with nature on the other. Those are important reasons not to despoil it.
But the main reason the city joined the DNR and the parks and river people in opposition to the parkway route is that it's an above-ground route.
Almost everyone is clear about one thing: above-ground high voltage lines create the worst case for property values, esthetics, health and happiness. Once you've put them in mature residential neighborhoods, you've changed the nature of the neighborhoods and the kind of people who will choose to live there.
Is the most important goal to keep overhead lines out of Wauwatosa and other communities that want to remain desirable? I think so. In deciding to support under-road buried lines down Walnut Road, the Council would be making a strategic decision to strengthen its ability to preserve all neighborhoods over time. And that is exactly what the Council must do.
There will be endless debates about whose neighborhood is more beautiful and more valuable. Whose neighborhood do more people walk through and enjoy? Whose backyard or front yard or sideyard matters most? Which small children should be protected against known and unknown dangers? Who makes the most passionate, emotional arguments? Who knows the right influential people?
Or who, as Walnut Road folks asked, sotto voce, do we throw under the bus? That's how they felt when Preserve our Parkway (POP) spokeswoman Kit Hansen said our group supported the city's decision.
We'd long ago made our own strategic decision not to put our desires before Walnut's in exploring alternate routes and arguing for going underground, especially under roads, not above ground.
I think we've been faithful to that decision. And now, after considerable time and expense, the city has determined an underground, under pavement, route that can be argued and defended. What's more, it sets a precedent for protecting neighborhoods in the future. And that's important, because Goliath isn't going to go away. Mixing Bible stories, too, now, the city needs a guiding principle to make the Solomon's decisions it sometimes must.
The underground route under Walnut Road is temporarily, not permanently, disruptive. For the most part.
If the three proposed above-ground "structures" (ugly big poles) at about 120th and Walnut connecting to the underground lines can't be located elsewhere, the impact to the adjacent houses will be significant. I'd howl too if someone wanted to put one in my backyard. Walnut Road folks, we hear your cries of protest and anguish, we hear your rational arguments.
Still, right now, buried on Walnut looks like the least-worst solution, harming the fewest people and creating a useful precedent. Maybe a route down North Avenue, proposed at the meeting, will make the issue moot. But we can't depend on that miracle.
David couldn't defeat Goliath on Goliath's terms, by putting on armor. He tried, but it didn't work. He had to take it off so he could move swiftly, with cunning, and use what he had: stones, a slingshot, and strategy. In Wauwatosa's case, the stone that can win is consensus among the intervenors.
Otherwise, it's all Goliath all the time. And everyone loses, not a few.

Allegra Stratton at the Guardian set the ball rolling yesterday on whether the Lib Dems are planning a new type of mansion tax – albeit under a different name.
The proposal is being kicked around by senior Lib Dem figures (such as Richard Reeves, policy wonk to Nick Clegg) but is meeting resistance from Tories. It is also unpopular with other Lib Dems such as David Laws (who is playing a key role in co-writing their "Tax 2020″ document). That's right: Laws does not want it.
Wealthy FT readers in big houses may rest easy for a while longer.
Here's our news take on it:
Owners of £1m-plus homes would have to pay capital gains tax when they sell up under attempts by senior Liberal Democrats to revive their "mansion tax" proposals.At present CGT is paid at 28 per cent when a second home is sold but main residences are exempt from the levy.But Lib Dems are considering whether sellers could be forced to pay the duty on any profits beyond a £1m tax-free threshold – a policy which could bring in billions for the exchequer.Treasury officials have had discussions with experts in the property industry to find out how many people live in multi-million pound homes and where they are located.However, the proposals are likely to meet fierce resistance from Tory ministers given that many Conservative voters live in homes worth more than £1m.Vince Cable, as opposition Treasury spokesman, was forced to revise his original "mansion tax" proposal – an annual levy on big homes – after the Lib Dems realised that it would harm many of their suburban voters in south-west London.The business secretary's attempts to revive the mansion tax as a device to

Military Dad's Homecoming Surprise Makes Fans Go Wild at South Carolina Football Game [VIDEO]
Subscribe to KKTX FM on
Americans love two things, perhaps more than anything else: Their military, and football. Bring the two together where a dad surprises his family in front of 85,000 college football fans, and you've got quite the combination.
Such was the case last weekend in South Carolina.
The family of Army Sergeant First Class Scott Faile was honored as the "military family of the game" on the field before South Carolina's game against Georgia on Saturday in Columbia, S.C.
Faile's wife, daughter and son were surprised with a special video message from Scott on the stadium's video board.
But, as they watch Scott's message, they get an even bigger surprise.
My favorite part of the video is the deafening roar from the fans in the stadium. Talk about loud.
And, of course, it's well-deserved.

Along with the andouille sausage and strip steaks, I had taken a package of chicken drumsticks out of the freezer last Thursday.
As evidence that I need to clean the cupboards more often, I marinated them in a bottle of Caesar salad dressing that had a "best by" date of sometime in 2008.
I salted the chicken and put it in the dressing on Friday night and finally grilled it yesterday. The meat exposed to the dressing definitely changed color but I was a little surprised that the meat under the skin didn't look like it had changed much at all.
I put them on the 26" Weber and set up an indirect fire, but underestimated the amount of charcoal I needed and when I checked after 30 minutes the temperature was under 300. The skin had dried out but the meat was obviously underdone, so I cranked the vents wide open and put the drumsticks directly over the coals for about 10 minutes per side, and then I let them finish indirect for another 10 minutes. It'd been a long time since I'd had chicken with a lightly charred skin and it tasted good.
The Caesar dressing added some nice flavor and the drumsticks were cooked all the way through. Between the 2 of us we ate 8 of them for lunch, so they must've been good!

Even on the other end 8k to 64k (.25 micron) is a pretty big jump too.But regarding the 8k glass - use more water and don't run it dry. While they aren't a soaker but a splash and go, do more 'splash'. Keeping it wetter will give you a shinier finish too as there will be less metal swarf in the mix. Glass stones will load up if run too dry as will most any other stone. Lap the surface down to clean and flat, use more water and you should be fine. Alternatively a drop of 2 micron CBN on the stone surface will reduce to eliminate metal swarf loading as the stone surface releases particles more rapidly.Short answer - more water.---Ken

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/11/2012 (1746 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You should take a good look at my face.
I don't mean the face attached to this column; that's a perfectly acceptable newspaper person's face.
I mean the face I'm wearing right now as I sit here at my computer struggling to formulate a coherent thought.
This is not a good face. It is a pasty face. My eyeballs are red and my eyelids are drooping so much I need to prop them open with toothpicks. My cheeks are puffed out like a mutant squirrel on steroids and the bags under my eyes are big enough to hold all your belongings on a European vacation.
You'd think I'm suffering from the Killer Cold from Hell, but I'm not. The problem is I haven't slept in weeks because I am the owner of a 13-year-old basset hound named Cooper who believes that, like a (bad word) vampire, he needs to spend the entire night wandering around in search of his next meal.
It wasn't always this way. What with being a hound with a brain the size of a Cracker Jack prize and a stunning physical resemblance to a sandbag, Cooper was always an outstanding sleeper. When it came to lying on the couch, snoring and emitting potentially toxic aromas, he was best in show.
But that was back in the good old days. Now that he's a senior citizen -- approximately 6,000 in human years -- he doesn't sleep at all. Hold on, I take that back. What I mean is he doesn't sleep at night. During the day, when my wife and I are trying to stay alert and interact with other humans, Cooper is happily sacked out, a biscuit-eating, drooling vampire in his comfy coffin, storing up energy for a busy night to come.
Once my wife and I call it a night, Cooper rises from his tomb and, like a four-legged Flying Dutchman, his nails click-clacking on the hardwood floors, sails around the house, a floppy-eared ghost ship doomed to never make port.
First, he click-clacks into our bedroom, butting the door open with his head, then circles our bed relentlessly while my wife and I pretend to be asleep, praying the other person will drag themselves from under the covers and let him outside to pee, give him the first of countless "breakfasts" throughout the night, then try to herd him back to one of his cosy dog beds.
Then, maybe 30 minutes later, just as we are poised to nod off again, it starts all over. "Click! Clack! Click! Clack!" is the sound we hear over and over as our restless hound resumes his noisy nocturnal ramblings, in and out of the bedroom, weighing anchor just long enough to send me the following telepathic message: "Hey, you hungry? Because I could really go for some pancakes right about now!"
It's a vicious circle. And I do mean vicious, in the sense that when my wife has been deprived of sleep long enough, there is an excellent chance that, after hurling profanity, she will attempt to bean you on the head with a paperback novel flung in the dark with a velocity and accuracy that would turn any major league pitcher green with envy.
If you are considering offering some helpful tips in dog sleep management, don't bother. We have tried almost everything, including late-night walks, hypnotism, bedtime stories and warm milk, to get Cooper to (bad word) sleep.
On the night Barack Obama was re-elected president, armed with frayed nerves and a prescription from our family veterinarian, we began giving this 48-pound, red-eyed, wrinkled insomniac a nightly dose of a famous tranquilizer (for the record, it rhymes with "balium") normally ingested by anxiety-ridden Hollywood starlets.
We had high hopes. During Obama's deeply moving victory speech, Cooper snored happily on the couch at the decibel level of a nuclear blast. It was with a feeling of contentment that I slipped into bed that night, eager to sleep the sleep of the dead.
As you have already deduced, moments later, our eyes popped open as we heard the sound we have come to dread. Only this time it was slightly different. It sounded like this: "Click! Clack! THUMP! Click! Clack! THUMP!"
Groggy from his prescription medication but still refusing to snooze, the Dog That Wouldn't Sleep was on the prowl again, the only difference being that now, as he navigated the hardwood floors en route to our bedroom, he bumped into walls and doors and random pieces of furniture.
It's like this every night at our place. Cooper doesn't mind and I'm putting on a brave, if exhausted, face, but my wife is reaching the breaking point.
She's talking about turning to tranquillizers. My best friend can probably help her out with that but personally, I think she should sleep on it.

The 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards
Let's be honest and admit to ourselves that this year's Emmys coverage peaked with Peter Dinklage struttin', so let's bring this puppy in for a landing and always keep those tiny little struttin' photos in our hearts. On that note, here's the rest of last night's red carpet photos featuring a whole bunch of people looking fancy and then Paz de la Huerta who I feel entirely confident saying is dead. She died.

If you missed the first season of My Grandmother's Ravioli, we have some great news: You can catch up on the entire season with one swoop of patriarchal and matriarchal wonderment by tuning in to Cooking Channel's President's Day (Monday, February 18) marathon of My Grandmother's Ravioli from 2-8pm ET. Watching Mo Rocca learn how to cook treasured family recipes from various grandparents across the country is a fantastic way to spend a day off from work or school (plus, you'll get some top-notch recipes).
Greater news: If you're a grandparent or you know a grandparent who has a great recipe to teach Mo Rocca, you (or they) can be on Cooking Channel!
We're casting season 2 of My Grandmother's Ravioli and need grandmas and grandpas who are great home cooks.

Watch My Horse, PleaseMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
Two posts, 1 foot to a side, are seated in the ground exactly 2 feet apart. My horse is tied to an anchor on the outside of one post with a rope that is 30 feet long. He likes to walk, but can only go in circles due to the rope and posts. How many times can he go around the posts before he runs out of rope?
Answer3 times.
One trip around the posts consists of 3 feet on each post, as he does not waste rope on the sides facing each other, plus 4 feet for the two gaps between the posts, making one trip around the posts 10 feet in total. 30 divided by 10 equals 3 laps around the posts.
What Next?

A PUBLIC inquiry into a plan which could 'merge Longridge and Preston' is set to start.
The inquiry, which is due to start on Wednesday, regards a proposal from Fox Strategic Land and Property Ltd to build 200 homes, offices and a swimming pool in the Ribble Valley town.
The inquiry is not being contested by Preston City Council, whose jurisdiction the area of the town falls under, after they received legal advice.
The plan for the former Ridings Depot in Whittingam Road is also subject to another application for 220 houses from the same developer.
That proposal was due to be discussed by Preston City Council's planning committee on Monday but was withdrawn due to the public inquiry being held two days later.
The application will now be discussed at a future council meeting.
The city council's planning committee said in September that if the appeal had not been made, they would have refused the application because the development would have an 'unacceptable detrimental impact' on the open countryside character of the area.
They also said that it would impact on 'the distinctiveness of the separation of Longridge and eastern Preston and would facilitate the merging of these areas'.
A similar application for the site was rejected in January 2012 over concerns of the cumulative impacts of traffic from the development.
The appeal against the refusal was dismissed by a planning inspector in August 2012 after they concluded that the negative impacts of the development on the highway network were so severe that they out weight a shortfall in the five year housing land supply.
Ribble Valley Borough councillor, Ged Mirfin, who sits on the area's planning committee, said: "Longridge is beginning to feel the affect of over-development that Whalley has been experiencing for the last 18 months.
"There is the same amount of opposition in Longridge as there is in Whalley.
"If passed, the development will have a big impact on the town."

A North Carolina man who had served time in prison for kidnapping remains behind bars in Lancaster County.
For the third time in the last few weeks, a child was hit by a car in Lancaster County.
Lancaster police officers, as well as county Emergency Medical Services workers, responded to Ferguson Street on Aug. 21 about a report of a small child hit by a vehicle.
When officers arrived, they noticed an empty SUV parked in the southbound lane of Ferguson Street, according to a Lancaster Police Department incident report.
Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce members received an update from local education leaders Tuesday during the chamber's annual State of Education Breakfast.
Sponsored by Comporium Communications and other local businesses, the breakfast drew about 75 attendees to the University of South Carolina Lancaster's Bradley building for a chance to learn about the impact education has on Lancaster County and state businesses.
From Release
Lancaster County has been chosen to receive $46,476 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county.
A local board made up of representatives from Lancaster County, the city of Lancaster, United Way of Lancaster County, American Red Cross, Lancaster County Partners for Youth and other state and local nonprofit organizations will determine how the funds awarded to Lancaster County will be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies.
INDIAN LAND – Construction crews are winding down a long-awaited project at the intersection of Harrisburg and Barberville roads designed to make the busy intersection safer.
The wrap-up comes as crews begin ramping up work at another busy intersection down the road at Barberville and S.C. 160.
Construction at the intersection of Harrisburg and Barberville began in late February and has an official completion date of Sept. 30.
With Hurricane Irene bearing down on the East Coast on Friday, the Upper Palmetto Chapter of the American Red Cross didn't wait around to find out where it was making landfall to respond.
In fact, by Friday afternoon the organization already had five volunteers working their way north to duty stations from North Carolina to New York City.
Three of those volunteers, Sheryl Ferguson, Cricket Harper and Richard Knight, are from right here in Lancaster and riding out the storm in Rocky Mount, N.C., Richmond, Va. and New York City, respectively.
Christopher Sardelli
A lone sign waved in the air over a crowd of residents during Lancaster County Council's Monday night meeting, but its message summed up the evening.
In large red and black letters, an Indian Land resident had scrawled the words, "Help Edenmoor Please."

With a laser pointer in hand, Lancaster County Administrator Steve Willis unveiled the county's first attempt at a new redistricting map Monday night.
Pointing at seven brightly colored areas on a large white map, Willis walked Lancaster County Council members through proposed changes to the county's districts.
The most notable change is the creation of two districts in the Panhandle, split into northern and southern portions.
Christopher Sardelli
A supermarket employee was struck by a car as he tried to confront a suspected shoplifter earlier this month.
The assault happened in the parking lot of Food Lion, at 1730 Airport Road, about 8:45 p.m. Aug. 6, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office incident report.
A conversation about an overdue loan payment reportedly turned violent for two women late last week.
An officer with the Lancaster Police Department came to Security Financial, 307 S. Main St., about 1:45 p.m. Aug. 19, after being dispatched about a fight in progress.
An employee said Deidra Gaither, a client, entered the building and told her not to call her anymore about an outstanding balance, according to a police department incident report.

HOUSTON - Unfortunately, some people use storms as an excuse to charge ridiculously high prices for things like food, gas, and hotel lodging. It's called price gouging.
It takes a disaster declaration from the governor to activate laws that prohibit price gouging. Gov. Rick Perry hasn't declared a disaster in southeast Texas, but the Attorney General's office is watching out for folks evacuating to Texas.
If you believe you've been charged too much for food, gas or lodging, file a complaint at www.oag.state.tx.us/forms/cpd/form.php. You can also call (800) 252-8011.
Keep in mind that there are other reasons prices may go up. The increased demand for gas means higher prices at the pump; but the AG's office will investigate if you file a report.

Climb Safe: Common Belay Screw-ups and What To Do About Them
How you hold the rope is just one aspect of the belay—no more or less important than vigilance, rope management, how and where you stand, and communication.
A short film by 3 Strings Productions highlighting 3 days with Ethan Pringle and a look into his comical personality and extraordinary climbing ability. The film highlights Ethan's ongoing project to climb the hardest route in North America at Clark Mountain, California, his quick wit, and a successful ascent of a very difficult and long standing project at Robber's Roost on Mt. Charleston outside of Las Vegas, Nevada.
On March 17, Pringle claimed the first repeat of Jumbo Love (5.15b), 7 years after Chris Sharma's first ascent!
