Dickerson's homer in 10th lifts Rockies past D-backs
Colorado takes series finale in extras against division-rival Arizona
PHOENIX -- Corey Dickerson dashed the bases, not because he had shed the weight of bad baseball that his Rockies had been carrying, but because that's how competitors act.
Dickerson's solo homer with two outs in the 10th inning keyed the Rockies' 5-3 victory over the D-backs on Sunday afternoon at Chase Field in front of 22,104.
The homer off Oliver Perez (2-2) was Dickerson's 14th of the season. That, and an insurance run on a single from Wilin Rosario, who had homered earlier, gave the Rockies their third victory in 13 games and third in their last 23 road contests. The victory left the Rockies tied with the Rangers for the Majors' worst record (46-71).
But Dickerson, who has hit safely in five straight games (9-for-20) and batted leadoff Sunday in place of the slumping Charlie Blackmon (3-for-33 this month), said motivation goes well beyond the record.
"We've got a losing record," Dickerson said. "But you've got to personally bring good energy. It describes the man you are. Are you going to give up or are you going to keep fighting? I think we've got a lot of fight on this team."
Sunday's victory was the definition of how the Rockies have to win.
This sport is ruled by stars and teams possessing either stars or savvy. Without experienced stars -- such as outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, who went to the disabled list Sunday with left knee tendinitis, and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, whose comeback from a left hip flexor strain has been slowed by not-yet-fully-understood pain in the hip -- whatever fight the Rockies possess is rarely enough to overcome execution issues.
Injuries also have hurt the pitching. The news Sunday that lefty Brett Anderson's back injury will likely will cost him the rest of the season couldn't have helped the mood.
But this time the Rockies won despite iffy execution, especially in the bottom of the ninth.
Lefty Rex Brothers missed on 14 of his 20 pitches in the ninth but managed two outs. Brothers fielded Xavier Paul's bunt and erased Didi Gregorius at second. Brothers forced a bases-loaded, full-count grounder from David Peralta that shortstop Charlie Culberson fielded before throwing home.
Finally, Matt Belisle (3-6) forced a Mark Trumbo grounder to end the ninth, and LaTroy Hawkins struck out all three hitters in the 10th for his 18th save in 19 chances. Also, before Brothers' scare, lefty Boone Logan escaped the seventh despite having a man at third and one out, and righty Adam Ottavino struck out three in the eighth.
"It was easy," manager Walt Weiss said, with a wry smile. "It got a little hairy there in the ninth."
After head-scratching mistakes cost the Rockies the first two games against the D-backs, Brothers was happy his issues didn't cost the Rockies once again.
"It's huge -- we'll take the momentum of winning an extra-inning game on the road and keep playing hard baseball," Brothers said.
Left-handed pitcher Franklin Morales, a swingman forced into regular duty, curbed his homer-prone ways and faced down traffic for six innings. He gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks.
"Frankie never gives in; it wasn't easy for him today," Weiss said.
First baseman Ben Paulsen, called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs to take Gonzalez's roster spot, knocked his first Major League home run for two runs in the second inning off D-backs starter Wade Miley.
Rosario had a make-you-cry, make-you-laugh day.
Rosario's double-play grounder ended a third-inning rally, and his throwing error on an attempted double play with the bases loaded in the fourth allowed a run.
But Rosario homered off Miley for a 3-3 tie in the sixth. His RBI single in the 10th came after Brandon Barnes' bunt single, and after Perez hit Nolan Arenado.
"Wilin is another one who shows up with a great attitude every day and he had a couple big at-bats for us today," Weiss said.
Perez, who had been scored upon once in his previous 18 outings, struck out DJ LeMahieu and Josh Rutledge to open the 10th. He tried to quick-pitch Dickerson with a slider on a 1-0 count, but Dickerson's bat was quicker.

Baltimore County News
Debi Wynn, Director of Education, Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum
Aircraft manufacturing was an important asset to the growth of Baltimore County. In 1929, the Berliner Joyce Aircraft Corporation began manufacturing in Dundalk, and later changed its name to B/J Aircraft Corporation. By 1934, 500 employees were building a two-seat biplane fighter for the Army and light observation planes for the Navy.
Aviation pioneer Glenn L. Martin moved to Baltimore in 1929 and erected a modern factory that built more than 25 different aircraft and a dozen man-rated Titan missiles that orbited NASA's Gemini astronauts in the mid-1960s. For nearly four decades, the air over Middle River was filled with seaplanes, bombers and passenger aircraft developed and built by the Glenn L. Martin Company.
During World War II, a peak employment of 53,000 Martineers labored three shifts in five camouflaged factories to produce warplanes for the Allied armies, including the famed "Baltimore bomber." As men went to war, women stepped up to keep production moving, creating their own army of Rosie the Riveters.
Longtime Middle River residents still recall the sounds of engines in flight or running up at the airport, the warning horns of chase boats clearing the waterways for seaplane takeoffs, and the long lines of cars and buses bringing thousands to the region for much need employment.
Area farmlands quickly turned into the communities of Eastern Baltimore County that thrive today. Street names such as Fuselage Avenue and Cockpit Street honor the importance of the plant to the lives of tens of thousands of residents.
Today, corporate descendents Lockheed Martin and Middle River Aircraft Systems develop advanced aerospace and defense engineering solutions on the site of the original Martin Company plants. Martin State Airport in Baltimore County is one of the largest general aviation facilities on the East Coast and the operations home for the Maryland Air National Guard. To learn more about Baltimore County's aviation history, visit the Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum.
The Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum shares Martin and Maryland aviation stories with visitors of all ages. The museum is located at Martin State Airport, with historic aircraft on view nearby at Strawberry Point.

If you are starting Adobe Reader and have Protected Mode enabled, you may encounter the following dialog:
"Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to a problem with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?"
This dialog appears when protected mode cannot be started due to environmental settings on your computer. It can occur due to anti-virus software conflicts, and/or conflicts with accessibility tools or smart card software and drivers.
1. Unsupported configurations:
- Installing Reader on a mapped network drive.
- Running Reader on WinXP when the OS is installed in a public folder.
- Launching Reader in XP-compatible mode on Vista and Win7.
- Launching Reader by right clicking AcroRd32.exe and choosing Run As.
- Using PKCS#11 smart cards in signature workflows. Some cards can work in the presence of custom protected mode policies. For a workaround, see below.
- Collaborating in real time using the Collaborate Live feature.
- Certain configurations of anti-virus software that have not yet white-listed AcroRd32.exe. See Anti-virus software conflicts below.
2. Antivirus software conflicts:
By default, Adobe Reader X runs in Protected Mode. In certain situations Reader experiences compatibility issues with anti-virus software when that software intercepts some system calls for the Reader sandbox. In these cases, Reader could fail to open or crash after displaying an incompatible-configuration dialog.
For example, Protected Mode is known to be incompatible with:
- Some Symantec Endpoint Protection configurations. Adobe recommends that users update to Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 RU6 MP2 or higher.
- McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for certain actions in Reader. Known actions include the following:
- Clicking Help or a Weblink from an embedded Flash widget such as a Portfolio navigator (Fixed 10.1).
- Launching of some IME tools. Note: Disabling Buffer Overflow Protection can provide a workaround for many McAfee users.
- Reader sometimes removes a user's cached credentials when signing out of Adobe.com which could be an issue for a multiuser machine. Fixed 10.1.2 with MVE 8.8.
Adobe is working with anti-virus companies to resolve these problems.
3. Accessibility
For XP only: Accessibility features sometimes doesn't work. The Read Out Loud feature is unsupported. Therefore, screen readers such as JAWS, Windows Eyes, and Windows Narrator aren't always able to read PDF content. Much of the Accessibility menus involving things like quick check, change Reading options are removed. Keyboard navigation is not implemented.
Note: When a screen reader like JAWS, Window-Eyes, or Narrator is running when Reader is started for the first time on XP, Protected Mode is disabled. On Vista and Windows 7, screen readers do work normally.
4. P11 smart card workaround
The installation of some smart cards doesn't work for Reader X users when in Protected Mode. Because Protected Mode sandboxes certain processes that make system calls, smart card installation can fail or result in the "unsupported configuration" dialog appearing. However, a simple workaround is available. Install the smart card software with Protected Mode turned off as follows:
- Disable Protected Mode by going to Edit > Preferences > General and deselecting Enable Protected Mode at startup
- Restart Reader
- Install the smart card software according to the provider's instructions
- Re-enable Protected Mode
- Restart Reader
5. Windows Permissions
You should also check the permissions on the Adobe Reader installation folder. Protected mode will only work on Windows when the group "BuiltIn\Users" has the following permissions on the Reader installation folder (for a default installation C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0):
- Read & execute
- List folder contents
- Read

I woke up early this morning to go running. (Surprise!) It's raining, however, and not just a sprinkle. It's pouring. Everyone knows that I don't run in the rain because I'll melt.
I'm up. I'm ready to run. It's raining. Instead of moping about, wanting to run and wishing that this weekend's weather would have rolled into St. George last week, and dreaming about cool, PR-betiding temperatures, I decided to catch up on my book reports for I have a bunch, just waiting. (Evidently I'm not running but my sentences insist on doing so. Those sentences, they have a possession of their own, don't they? They just do what they want and we sentence creators have no control)
The Help
by Kathryn Stockett
Here's the problem with popular literature: The popular people are always turning books into something they're not. Take Stefanie Meyer's Twilight Series for example. They are great little stories for what they are. They are teeny bopper romances, and nothing more. Popular people insist on making the stories more than teeny bopper romances, and the unwarranted hype has turned a lot of folks off. I've beat that already-dead vampire to a garlic-infused pulp, so I'll quit now and save you the droning diatribe.
While The Help was a great read, one I recommend, the popular people have once again turned it into something it is not. My opinion of the book was tainted the minute I laid eyes upon the cover. (Those of you who say you cannot judge a book by its cover are missing all sorts of opportunity to judge stuff by covers!) Let me show you what I mean:
See that? Let me spell it out for you. The cover says, "This could be one of the most important pieces of fiction since To Kill a Mockingbird." Nuh-uh. No way. There will be one – and only one – To Kill a Mockingbird. Any book that resembles To Kill a Mockingbird, in even the remotest way possible, will be nothing more than a copy. A fraud. A fake. A mockingbird mockery. So, yeah, the NPR critic, and then the publisher who allowed this vulgar claim, managed to place a nice cloudy film between this cute little story and myself.
Even though my view was tainted significantly by an outlandish claim, I still think it was a great story. I would recommend it and I'll see the movie too. For future rabid reference, I'll provide a brief synopsis.
This is a story of a girl from Jackson, Mississippi who goes to college, comes home, and discovers how blatantly racist the situation is. Most southern homes have "help"– that is, they pay "colored" people small bits of cash to put up with their crap. Mostly. Some who hire "Help" are nice and pay well.
This girl's name is Eugenia but goes by "Skeeter" – don't get me started on how this does a shoddy job of emulating Harper Lee's "Scout." But hey, they started it, what with the claim that it's the next To Kill a Mockingbird.
Skeeter, having her eyes and ears opened to the racist ways of The South, returns home from college only to discover that her friends and family have some serious race issues. One friend had a new toilet installed in the garage for "The Help" because blacks and whites aren't supposed to use the same toilets. This is was got it started. Skeeter decides to write a book about The Help from The Help's point of view. Skeeter holds secret interviewing meetings and sneaks around so as to write the stories without getting caught. Getting caught would lead to someone getting hurt, for fraternizing with the Help and those of "color" was a crime punishable by the public while the law looked the other way.
As an aside, I find the whole concept of not toilet-sharing assinine. They say that the black folks cannot use the white toilets because of "diseases." However, the white folk are just fine with the black folks preparing their food, doing their laundry, and CLEANING THE WHITE TOILET. I mean, were they really that stupid to think that they'll get diseases from using the same toilet, but will be in the clear if it's cleaned by the alleged disease-ridden Help?
Anyway, one by one, Skeeter convinces a few people to help her write her book. Her book is published but not without a few close calls and various obstacles.
I think that The Help was cleverly constructed in the way that Kathryn Stockett told the tale from a few different viewpoints. One chapter would be from the view of Skeeter, while others would be written in first person from a few of the featured Help (Minnie, Aibileen.) I liked how the language was different for each, and that the language was a direct reflection of the amount of schooling each of them had. This was my favorite part of the book. I'm also a big fan of words that are written so as to show how they're mispronounced. There were bunches of this.
Segregation is the predominant theme in this book. To be honest, I have little exposure to segregation. I grew up in Utah where there was one black person in my high school, and he was the student body president. Actually, he was Indian, not black, but we thought he was black and way cool. Being black in Utah was ridiculously awesome, because it was implied that you were athletic, and had rhythm. Therefore you got lots of attention and/or scholarships. My only experience with racism would be from my born-in-1900 granny, in the which everyone just blamed her senility. I knew better though. It wasn't so much her aged senility as it was the age in which she was born. Folks born back then were just born racist-ish. (I say "ish" cause she's my sweet granny and St. Peter has most assuredly set her straight.)
Spouse, on the other hand, has some serious experience with segregation. Spouse attended high school in a suburb of Memphis, Tennessee. He has some stories. Each time he tells me some of these stories, I am beside myself. My gaper opens wide and I'm so shocked I can't even say "no way."
The Help takes place in Jackson, Mississippi. Aside from computer-related trade shows in Atlanta and Oak Ridge, then a trip to see my sister sing in Charleston, and a jaunt to Disneyworld, I have not really visited or experienced "The South." The Help made me think that visiting Jackson would be an interesting thing to do. I pulled it up on a map only to glower in disappointment. Jackson is too close to Memphis. Spouse will not go near Memphis on purpose, for Spouse has no desire to visit any location within a few hundred miles of his high school stomping grounds.
With that I conclude the latest installment of my rabid book reporting. It stopped raining. Perhaps I'll go wander around in it.

A GYM which specialises in supporting people with learning difficulties and mental health problems has been saved from closing.
Martin Darlington, who ran the Enterprise Centre Gym, based in Northgate, Bridgwater, was given notice to relocate along with other businesses based at the site, which is being redeveloped by Tesco.
The gym catered for individuals with mental health problems and learning difficulties who need a safe and secure environment, so finding a new location was a challenge.
Garry Toms, managing director of Drove House Health and Exercise Rehabilitation Centre, stepped in and offered Martin a trial period for hosting his services there.
Now Garry and Helen Palmer of Drove House have agreed to make it a permanent arrangement with Martin.
Garry said: "Not being relocated meant these individuals would not have a safe and secure environment in which they could remain active and healthy with other people who have become part of their lives. For many, this would be devastating."
He added: "I have known Martin for almost 30 years and I know how dedicated and professional he is with regards to his clients.
"Martin does this job for the pure reward of seeing his clients with a smile on their faces and having a positive and healthy outlook. I know only too well what it is like to have your business taken from you through no fault of your own.
"I did not hesitate to call Martin and welcome his clients to be part of Drove House. We look forward to a successful future."
Martin said: "I am so grateful to both Garry and Helen for giving my clients the opportunity to continue with their training.
"I know how much this means for them to be able to exercise in an environment that suits all their needs, alongside our members."

THE Westmorland show season opened with a jam-packed event in Furness which attracted praise from competitors, visitors and judges alike.
The North Lonsdale Agricultural Show set the bar for the rest of the season when it was held yesterday, with dozens of people hailing the bumper number of entries and the way the event has 'truly settled' into its new venue at Urswick.
"We come every year – it must be at least 10 years now," said Roosebeck resident, Valerie Mellings, who attended with husband, Mark.
"It's been a great day and the show has really settled on this site since last year.
"There's always a lot to see and some great produce to buy too.
"It's been a brilliant day again."
The event, held for the first time last year on the Recreational Hall Fields at Urswick after moving from Bardsea, drew crowds from right around the North West.
Hundreds of competitors - 'well up' on last year's numbers - turned out to show off their cattle, sheep, horses, poultry, rabbits and fresh produce.
Entrants of all ages were later seen proudly clutching rosettes and trophies.
In the cattle ring Andrew Dennison, of Scales Park Farm, wowed judges with his three-year-old dairy Holstein, Denmire Goldwyn Reba, which took the champion cow prize for the second year in a row.
"I'm really pleased," he said. "We just come to support our local show and to win is a bonus.
"The new venue must have brought us some good luck, as we've won both years since the show moved!"
In the sheep pen the overall champion was won by a three-year-old female Texel, owned by husband-and-wife team of Ian and Claire Shuttleworth, of Far Mountbarrow Farm, Ulverston.
"It makes all the hard work worth it," said Mr Shuttleworth, just moments after the judge's decision was made.
"We spend a lot of time on the preparation, getting them ready.
"When it was raining this morning I was quite disheartened, it was a bit of a downer.
"But now the sun is shining and we're really pleased. We might go to Lowick and Broughton shows now too!"
Judges throughout the show spoke of the 'high quality' entries they had been faced with.
Chairman of the marquee committee Louise Storey said: "Last year we had just one or two entries in some classes and this year it has definitely gone up.
"The quality is fantastic too."
However, the show's commentator failed to turn up, which led to a team of volunteers having to step in to take over the job.
Heavy rain also lashed the site as the show opened.
However, it managed to attract a large crowd - and a bit of sunshine - and show secretary Margaret Coward said she thought visitor numbers were at least equal to last year.
"The area has supported us once again," she added.
"It has been a great day.
"The standard of showing and the number of entries have been much higher across all classes.
"We're very pleased with how the day has gone."

Cake serves 20.
Several days before decorating cake, make fondant bow. Add 1/2 teaspoon Gum-Tex each to pink, blue and green fondant from Multi Pack. Roll out fondant 1/8 in. thick. Make 4 pink, 3 green and 2 blue bow strips using zigzag cutting wheels and 1/2 in. spacers from Ribbon Cutter/Embosser Set. Cut 1 green strip approximately 4-1/2 in. long, cut the remaining strips approximately 6-1/2 in. long. Shape center and loops, sealing ends, if necessary, with a little water; trim off corners of bow loops to form an outward "V" shape. Allow loops to dry on cornstarch dusted surface, supporting with crushed tissue inside. Reserve remaining fondant.
Bake and cool a 2-layer 9-inch round cake. Stack cooled cake layers on foil-covered cake board. Prepare for fondant by lightly icing with buttercream.
Reserve 2 in. ball of white fondant for stars; tint remaining fondant yellow. Cover cake in yellow rolled fondant; smooth.
Roll out reserved pink, blue and green fondant 1/8 in. thick. Cut 8 in. long ribbon strips, using Ribbon Cutter/Embosser wheels as for loops. Divide cake into 8ths; attach strips at cake divisions with damp brush. Trim off excess.
Roll out reserved white fondant 1/8 in. thick. Using smallest star cut-out, cut stars. Attach between ribbon strips with damp brush. Attach bow loops to cake top with fondant adhesive. Attach center loop with fondant adhesive. Allow to dry.

Alysha Umphress, Derek Klena and More Join RAZIA'S SHADOW at JoeÂ's Pub; Full Cast Announced!
A slew of Broadway talent will rock songs from RAZIA'S SHADOW, the cult-sensation indie rock concept album making its stage debut at Joe's Pub November 28-29.
The cast includes Alysha Umphress (American Idiot, Priscilla Queen of the Desert), Derek Klena (Carrie, Dogfight), Katrina Rose Diderickson (Hairspray, RENT, Things to Ruin), Ryah Nixon (9 to 5), Corey Mach (Godspell, Wicked, RENT), Eric Michael Krop (Godspell), Damon Daunno (Brief Encounter), Molly Hager (Fat Camp), Jason Collins (The Blue Flower), Andi Alhadeff, and Razia's Shadow composer Thomas Dutton (lead singer of Forgive Durden) with Iris Elton, Amy Linden, Patrick Shelton, and Jonathan Whitton.
After years as a cult sensation, the concept album RAZIA'S SHADOW by Forgive Durden will make its New York stage debut in a concert presentation at Joe's Pub featuring a score by Thomas Dutton and Paul Dutton, book by Lonnie Angle, and direction by Brandon Ivie (assistant director, A Christmas Story). After quickly selling-out Wednesday, November 28th at 9:30pm, a second concert has been added on Thursday, November 29th at 7:30pm.
RAZIA'S SHADOW was originally a conceptual rock musical album released by the indie-rock band Forgive Durden in 2008 on Atlantic Records. Drawing on a love for Broadway musicals and a childhood filled with Disney VHS tapes, writers (and brothers) Thomas & Paul Dutton brought to life a story of star-crossed lovers fighting for their love in a divided world, featuring a plethora of guest singers and soaring orchestrations backed by thundering rock drums. After a year of touring and performing RAZIA'S SHADOW, Thomas wanted to bring the album to its next level--the stage.
With librettist Lonnie Angle on board, the trio has continued developing the piece with The Public Theater in New York. Exploring themes of tolerance, redemption, and the strength of the human spirit, RAZIA'S SHADOW tells a tale of parallel forbidden love stories set in an alternate universe before murder exists. With a massive mountain range splitting the world in two, only truelove's sacrifice can reunite the two halves. The show was a finalist for this year's Yale Institute for Music Theatre as well as NAMT's New Works Festival.
Director Brandon Ivie is currently assistant directing Broadway's A Christmas Story and has also worked on the Broadway productions of next to normal and Catch Me If You Can. Ivie is artistic director of Contemporary Classics, where RAZIA'S SHADOW had its initial development as a stage musical.
RAZIA'S SHADOW was originally released on Fueled by Ramen/Atlantic Records in 2008 and featured guest performances from bands such as Panic At The Disco, Say Anything, Portugal. The Man, Saves The Day, mewithoutYou, The Hush Sound, The Dear Hunter, and others.
RAZIA'S SHADOW plays Joe's Pub at The Public Theater on Wednesday, November 28 at 9:30pm and Thursday, November 29 at 7:30pm. Tickets are $15 plus a two drink minimum and can be purchased at www.joespub.com.

Stocks, the euro and Italian bonds reversed early gains as election projections spurred concern about prospects for a stable government in Italy. Natural gas and silver led commodities higher, while Treasuries rose.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 0.2 per cent at 1,512.32 at 1:09 p.m. in New York after gaining as much as 0.7 per cent in the first hour of trading. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index reversed gains to end 0.1 per cent lower. The euro was little changed at $US1.3190 after jumping almost 1 per cent. Italy's 10- year yields increased four basis points to 4.49 per cent after sliding as much as 28 points. Ten-year US Treasury note yields decreased three basis points to 1.93 per cent.
Italy may require another vote after partial election results suggested the four-way race may end in a divided parliament, an aide to Democratic Party candidate Pier Luigi Bersani said. Bersani, who led in opinion polls throughout the two-month race, campaigned to maintain the budget rigor of outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti.
"We don't want to see more chaos out of Europe," Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at the private-banking unit of KeyCorp in Cleveland, said in a phone interview. His firm oversees more than $US20 billion. "Any question about whether or not Italy would be committed to austerity measures after the elections gets investors concerned."
The S&P 500 last week completed its first weekly loss of the year after touching the highest level since October 2007 on Feb. 19. Investors are awaiting US data this week including the Institute for Supply Management's factory index, durable goods orders, household spending, the S&P/Case-Shiller index of home prices and fourth-quarter gross domestic product. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke is due to testify before lawmakers tomorrow and the next day.
Economic Data
US Commerce Department data on Feb. 26 may show new-home sales climbed in January, according to a Bloomberg survey. US GDP probably expanded at a 0.5 per cent annual rate in the fourth quarter, compared with the Commerce Department's initial estimate on Jan. 30 that the economy contracted by 0.1 per cent. The data will be released on Feb. 28.
President Barack Obama's administration released a state- by-state report on how $US85 billion in automatic spending cuts will degrade programs from defense to education to public health, as White House officials said they don't expect to avert reductions scheduled to start March 1.
"Our hope is that we'll be able to come to a solution," Dan Pfeiffer, a senior Obama adviser, said in a conference call with reporters yesterday. "But there seems to be nothing the Republicans are saying right now on Sunday to suggest that by Friday they're going to change their position."
Market Movers
Among stocks moving today, financial and commodity shares led declines among the 10 main industry groups in the S&P 500, while telephone and utility shares rose the most. BlackBerry jumped 2.4 per cent on a report sales of the new BlackBerry 10 device are above the company's expectations. Cummins Inc. rallied 1.1 per cent after the maker of diesel engines was added to the "Conviction Buy" list at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Bank of America Corp., Boeing Co. and Coca-Cola Co. led the Dow Jones Industrial Average lower.
The euro advanced against nine of 16 main counterparts. Sterling slipped 0.1 per cent today to 87.09 pence per euro, after depreciating to the weakest level since October 2011. Moody's Investors Service lowered Britain's credit rating on Feb. 22 by one level to Aa1 from Aaa. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said he won't give in to opposition calls to drop austerity policies after the downgrade.
European Movers
Among European stocks, Deutsche Boerse AG jumped 5.6 per cent, paring a gain of as much as 12 per cent. CME Group Inc., the world's largest futures exchange, has approached the Frankfurt-based exchange to consider beginning talks on a merger, according to four people familiar with the situation.
PostNL NV rallied 6.6 per cent as the Dutch postal operator reported earnings that topped estimates. Elan Corp. surged 6.9 per cent as RP Management LLC, an investor in royalty streams from pharmaceuticals, said it's willing to buy the Irish drugmaker for about $US6.5 billion.
Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc slid 3 per cent, the most in nine months, as US regulators approved two rival generic versions of its Suboxone heroin-dependency treatment.
Yen Moves
The yen weakened against 11 of 16 major peers and was little changed versus the euro after earlier tumbling as much as 1.7 per cent. Japan's currency has dropped about 7 per cent this year, the biggest loser among 10 developed-nation currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The pound has seen the second-biggest decline, falling 6 per cent.
Speculation grew that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will nominate a central bank chief who favors stimulus. Abe is likely to call on Asian Development Bank President Haruhiko Kuroda, who said this month there is "substantial room" for easing, according to two officials with knowledge of the discussions.
"The market seems to have formed an opinion that Kuroda is a dove and if he indeed becomes the new BOJ governor, he would be willing to do much more to support growth," said Geoffrey Yu, a senior currency strategist at UBS AG in London. "The yen is weakening on speculation that there will be more policy easing."
Commodity Movers
The S&P GSCI gauge of 24 commodities gained 0.2 per cent, rebounding after last week's 2.6 per cent drop, the biggest in 11 weeks. Silver for immediate delivery gained 1.1 per cent to gain for a third day, the longest streak in a month. Copper added 0.3 per cent.
US crude oil futures climbed 0.2 per cent to $US93.29 per barrel as Iran prepares to meet the US, China, France, Germany, Russia and the U.K. in Kazakhstan tomorrow to discuss its nuclear program. U.K. natural gas for next-day delivery reached 77 pence a therm, the most in more than a year, as demand rose on colder-than-average weather. US natural gas jumped 3.5 per cent.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 0.2 per cent. The Shanghai Composite Index advanced 0.5 per cent, while South Korea's Kospi Index and Taiwan's Taiex Index both slipped 0.5 per cent. Russia's Micex Index climbed 0.5 per cent and India's Sensex added less than 0.1 per cent. Benchmark gauges advanced at least 0.7 per cent in Turkey, Poland, the Czech Republic, Indonesia and the Philippines.
The shekel remained lower versus the dollar, weakening 0.6 per cent, as the Bank of Israel kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at its lowest in more than two years as rising house prices balanced slowing growth and inflation. Governor Stanley Fischer and the monetary policy panel held the rate at 1.75 per cent. Ten of the 22 economists surveyed by Bloomberg forecast the decision, while the remainder predicted a quarter-point reduction.

Business Plan Competition Judge
Commitment: 1 day for approx. 3 hours
The culminating event of every NFTE program is a competition. Through this opportunity, students present their business plans before an audience and a panel of volunteer judges. Judges listen, ask questions, and evaluate each presentation. Judges are entrepreneurs and business professionals, who offer students a realistic perspective of their business plans. Judges are needed for individual classroom competitions, and citywide and regional competitions across the country.
Field Trip Host
Commitment: 1 day for approx. 6 hours
One of the best ways to expose young people to business concepts is to have them visit an actual business and meet the actual people who make it happen. Field trips give students the chance to observe practitioners in job functions such as finance, human resources, marketing, and sales. The visits can be to the volunteer's company or to the business of a local entrepreneur (e.g., neighborhood restaurant owner or merchant). Field trips are a terrific opportunity for young people to learn about different professions and the challenges and rewards of the workplace.

Going to there for a week in December and wondering what the waves are typically like? I know it's flat compared to summer but are we talking so small you need one of the 12 foot beginner boards or more like knee high with a decent interval?

Going to there for a week in December and wondering what the waves are typically like? I know it's flat compared to summer but are we talking so small you need one of the 12 foot beginner boards or more like knee high with a decent interval?
always a wave somewhere on the island you can't miss
Thanks jrs. I lived in Ewa Beach as a Kehei so I know finding waves is no problem. Never went to Waikiki as a kid... too crowded and expensive. If I have time I'll go to Sandys for some bodysurfing but am hoping to get some waves on a board too. I don't mind small waves as long as they have some energy.
Thanks stinkbug. The North Shore might have a little too much energy and be super crowded with pros and local bad asses in December. I will just have to watch the forecast. I might go to Chun's if the swell isn't too big. I really just need a local to show me some stuff. Maybe if I offer to pay for gas, beer and some grind I can get a tour.
Hey brah you know that generally it's north swells in the winter... But I remember some fun times at ala moana that time of year!!! Yet on the other hand - the whole place can go flat... Or you could score head hi
Fun waves on the north shore- it's not always huge... There are tons of maps you can find with all the surf spots- if you see a spot and it looks good- just go out and have fun and be
Respectable- ppl there are a lot cooler then here! Man... I'm stoked for you!!!!! Get out there and surf!!!!
One time I was up there and it seemed like everyone and their mother was trying to find somewhere that wasn't blown out, including my friend and me, but every time we took a pass by Waimea, Pinballs was clean and glassy. Finally I talked my friend into paddling out, and we shared glassy 15' + perfection with two other guys. There are plenty of spots that are not overrun with Pros. In fact in some cases, its the 15-year-old girls that will be your greatest wave hog threat over and above the hoards of Brazilians. Good luck and have fun. I can honestly say I'm a little jealous.
thisguysthumbs is right man.... there are so many other spots you can hit. Hell you could even skip over to another island! Some of the other islands won't be as crowded. There will definitely be waves though. People too!
As long as I get something big enough to have some energy but smaller than head high I'll be happy. Sounds like I'll be good to go. Just a little anxious cause I want to make the most of my time.
I'd be stoked to go! Stuck in Fl. for awhile...

Atag Boiler Problems
Author: Tom Norris
There's never a good time for the boiler to go down and to make it worse I can tell you that most boilers breakdown in the winter time, just the period when you need them most.
Over 50% of new boilers fitted in recent years are combination boilers and the most common breakdown in service is simply that the system needs topping up.
Almost anybody with half a brain can top up a combination boiler system but if you have any doubt with regard to your capabilities then you are advised to use our Get a Quote option to find heating engineers in your area that can deal with your problem.
Get A Quote For Repairs Servicing Or Replacement
Check The System Pressure First
Step 1:
Check the pressure gage on the your boiler. Under normal operating conditions it should be around 1 to 1.5 bars but if it is flat lining or below 0.5 bars then that is likely to be good news and your system simply needs topping up. See Pic 1
Pic 1:
If the pressure is above 0.5 bar then you need to Get Some Help as the problem is not associated with topping up the system.
Topping Up A Combination Boiler
Step 1:
Turn the boiler off and switch off power going to the boiler.
Once you've cleared away the usual miscellaneous objects from below the boiler you will see that there are approximately 5 to 6 pipes on show, all of them entering the boiler.
The pipe we're looking for is a small one, 15mm, and it should have a tee section on it with a silver flexi hose attached that is about a foot long. See Pic 2
Pic 2:
If you can't find the tee section and flexi hose then we suggest you Get Some Help as your installation is not a standard installation and its better to be safe rather than sorry.
If you do find the 15mm pipe with tee section and flexi hose I can tell you that it is the cold water main supply pipe that goes in to the boiler to provide you with hot water, once heated, and the tee section flexi hose is what is used to top up your system.
Good Idea - Look for Your Boiler Manual
If you have a boiler manual it will provide you with the exact diagrams of how to top up your system and is likely to provide better help than this general guide to topping up a combi. If you can't find it then read on to see how things work out.
Step 2:
Before you do anything else you need to study Pic 2 below and understand the 2 most important elements in filling up the system which are the Pressure Gage & the Filling Loop.
Pic 2
Pressure Gage
The pressure gage monitors the pressure inside the system and is usually set at about 1.5 bar on most combi systems. On many combi systems over time the pressure drops below 0.5 bars which results in a system closedown.
The Filling Loop
The filling loop is used to top us the system and is usually left unconnected at one end in case of accidental operation.
Step 3:
What you now need to do is to connect up the filling loop and ensure that both ends of the filling loop are tight.
What you are about to do now is to top up the system by opening the valve on the filling loop which allows cold water to enter the system and re pressurise.
Generally it only takes a few seconds to top up so you need to keep your eyes on the pressure gage as you open the filling loop valve to allow the water in.
Once you open the valve you should hear the water entering the system so don't be put off by the strange noises. Just keep your eyes on the pressure gage and allow the water to enter the system until the pressure gage rises to around 1.5 bars.
Once you have achieved that, you have successfully topped up your central heating system.
Step 4:
Once the system is filled to the required 1.5 bars and the filling loop valve is closed make sure to undo the other end of the filling loop.
Once you have completed topping up the system, with dry hands, you can turn back on the electric's to your boiler and switch on as necessary.
The simplest way to test the boiler for correct operation is to turn on the hot water tap and with a bit of luck you should have hot water.
If the problem is not resolved you can Get Some Professional Help here.

It appears from the accounts that the mole on Hazrat Mahdi's (as) cheek will resemble a pearl and be as bright as a star, in other words very light in color:
There is a mark on his [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] cheek, reminiscent of a pearl, illuminating his face like a star. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) has a thick beard, bright front teeth, a mole on his face, and a broad forehead. (Mari' bin Yusuf Karami Hanbali, Fawaid Fawaid al-Fikr fil Mahdi al-Montazar)
He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will have a mole on his face. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 41)
There is a mole on his [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] face. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi)
The presence on the cheek of A SIGN ENLIGHTENING the face LIKE A STAR, REMINISCENT OF A PEARL, of Hazrat Mahdi (as) has been reported in the hadiths. Not only the word "mole" is used for this feature of Hazrat Mahdi (as), as all the features of this mole have been described. Terms such as "reminiscent of a pearl," "like a star" and "illuminating" provide great detail about its shape and color. All this information shows that THIS MOLE WILL BE THE COLOR OF SKIN and not dark.

A Geneticist's Research Turns Personal
The New York Times reports on Personalis Founder Michael Snyder's health discovery
Human genome sequencing is already helping researchers find new treatments for illness. Now an unusual case study suggests that the benefits of sequencing may be enhanced in combination with detailed blood tests.
The case involves Michael Snyder, a geneticist who was both the lead author and the subject of a study on genomics reported in the journal Cell. The study began with the sequencing of Dr. Snyder's genome, which showed that he was at high risk for Type 2 diabetes. Then the research team did extensive blood tests every two months or more, keeping track of 40,000 molecules in Dr. Snyder's cells. About midway into the 14-month study, analyses showed that Dr. Snyder had indeed developed diabetes.

The H40ALV and H40ALV-RN end mills have been added to the company's Helical line of geometries for non-ferrous machining. The H40ALV line includes a variable-pitch flute configuration and cutting-diameter tolerance of -0.0001" to -0.0004". According to the company, this precision reduces chatter and tool offset adjustments while optimizing tool performance. The line includes a full corner radius option ranging from 0.015" to 0.250" as a standard product. The end mills are made of sub-micron grain carbide in stub, regular and reduced-neck lengths. A zirconium nitride coating provides lubricity to improve chip evacuation and resistance to abrasion for extended tool life.
The series includes a redesigned end geometry in response to the trend toward ramping and plunging in aluminum. The design enables all three teeth to cut at the center for chip clearance and evacuation when plunging and ramping, the company says.
The H40ALV-RN series of end mills is similar in design, but has a reduced neck diameter with a relatively short flute length for longer reach into deep pockets while maintaining tool rigidity. This series is recommended high speed milling of pockets.
Both series are available in shank diameters from 0.25" to 1.0".

WINDERMERE, Fla. - A former Windermere businessman, whose sex battery case led to the termination of Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor, has been sentenced to life in prison on Friday.
Scott Bush, 52, was sentenced to life in prison and classified as a sexual predator after a six-member jury found him guilty of sexual battery, lewd or lascivious molestation and battery in his raping of two young girls.
Just before the judge sentenced Bush to life in prison, he still proclaimed his innocence.
"I haven't done these things which have been egregiously stated against me," said Bush. "I don't understand how I'm in this position when there's no evidence to any of this."
In January, a jury found Bush guilty of capitol sexual battery and two other sex crimes against children.
Before the judge handed down the sentence Friday, Bush's attorney, Frank Bankowitz pushed for a new trial because of a diary that belonged to one of the victims.
"There's nothing in that journal that indicates any type of sexual abuse whatsoever," said Bankowitz.
Bush's attorney said the journal was discovered after the trial, and the victim never mentioned being abused.
However, after examining the diary, the judge ruled it was a school journal read by Bush and the victims, teachers and classmates, so the victim likely wouldn't have written about abuse.
"All my friends know that my dad is a great guy," said Scott Bush, Jr.
Bush's son and a family friend testified on his behalf, but it was too late.
"I haven't done these things. I don't know why I'm here," said Bush. "And I don't understand why I'm being given a sentence like this for a crime I didn't commit."

Topic: Rising Alk Phos
Hi everyone. I had a liver resection about 3.5 months ago. My LFT's were normal prior to the resection, then they spiked after the surgery and have been coming down and are pretty much normal...Except for my Alk Phos. It is rising. Last week it was 400 and now is 600. My oncologist was not concerned about the Alk Phos since I just had a 3 month MRI which was normal. But I am concerned. Anyone have any experience with this?
