Budweiser ShareLunker Season 23 Begins October 1
ATHENS, Texas-Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will begin accepting entries into the Budweiser ShareLunker program Oct.1.
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from Texas waters, public or private, between Oct. 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Budweiser ShareLunker program by calling program manager David Campbell at (903) 681-0550 or paging him at (888) 784-0600 and leaving a phone number, including area code. Fish will be picked up by TPWD personnel within 12 hours.
The fish are used in a selective breeding program at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens. Some of the offspring from these fish are stocked back into the water body from which they were caught. Other ShareLunker offspring are stocked in public waters around the state in an attempt to increase the overall size and growth rate of largemouth bass in Texas.
Anglers entering fish into the ShareLunker program will receive a free replica of their fish, a certificate and ShareLunker clothing and be recognized at a banquet at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens on June 6, 2009. In addition, if a Texas angler catches the largest entry of the year, that person will receive a lifetime fishing license.
For complete information and rules of the ShareLunker program, tips on caring for big bass and a recap of last year's season, see the program Web site. The site also includes a searchable database of all fish entered into the program along with pictures where available.
The Budweiser ShareLunker program is made possible through support from Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Since 1991, Anheuser-Busch, in partnership with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, has contributed millions of dollars in funding to support conservation causes and fishing, hunting and outdoor recreation programs in Texas.

Arthur Boyd's Bundanon
in Culture & Heritage
The hidden gem of Arthur Boyds works and more
Bundanon is a national treasure, it is the estate and art collections left by Arthur and Yvonne Boyd. Bundanon offers the visitor a unique collection of cultural and environmental assets. Included in his gift to the nation was a collection comprising several thousand art works, photographs, furnishings and documents referred to as the Bundanon Collection. It was the culmination of a considerable effort over several years that included holding works back from sale, buying works - in particular works by Merric, Emma Minni and Arthur Merric Boyd.
Sidney Nolan had added to the Collection with a number of early works, and a series made in the Bundanon studio in 1981, prior to his death in 1992. Set by the Shoalhaven River it makes for a quite beautiful visit so go by the Cambewarra Estate and select a wine and picnic to Bundanon to enjoy a full day there.

Calne is to get one of the best skateparks in the county following a decision to demolish the town's old skate bowl and build new ramps and rails.
Howard Marshall, who represents the town on Wiltshire Council and Calne Town Council, has been the driving force behind the refurbishment project.
He said: "We were planning to just resurface the old bowl and then add an extra area but now we have been told by structural engineers that the existing construction isn't strong enough and even if we did repairs to the concrete it would soon crack again."
Now the council is to push ahead with a £240,000 scheme and Coun Marshall is determined it will be open in time for the school summer holidays.
He said: "Obviously building a new park will take longer than just revamping the old one but I think the work can be completed in about six to eight weeks and I definitely want it done in time for the holidays.
"The finished product will be much better than the old bowl and I think it will probably be the best skatepark in Wiltshire."
Skateboarder Jake Brock, 19, has been using the bowl for a number of years and is on a fundraising committee.
He said: "I have a few mixed feelings about it being demolished but if it can be done and open by the summer holidays I think it will be a good thing.
"Hopefully it will be worth the wait."
Fellow committee member Jordan Hyde, 17, said: "The plans sound good to me but we really need it to be open for the summer."
The park. off Station Road, will include a ramp, half pipes, jumps and rails and the plans will be paid for by a mixture of grants and fundraising.
The town council already has £140,000 towards the cost and has applied to Viridor Credits and Sport England for more grants.

More than 700 attorneys, MBA members and guests attended the MBA's Gala Dinner at Boston's InterContinental Hotel on Nov. 1. The MBA thanks the Gala Dinner Committee, along with the individuals, organizations and law firms that purchased tables for the dinner. As a result of our members' efforts and dedication, the tables at the dinner have been sold out. To view the full list of table sponsors, click here.
MBA Gala Dinner keynote speaker Richard A. Clarke, the nation's former counterterrorism chief, delivered an urgent call for a return to the rule of law in the wake of weakened civil liberties in the name of the War on Terror.
MBA President David W. White Jr. set the stage for Clarke's speech in his introduction.
"Six years ago, we were all a little more innocent, and life seemed a lot more secure," White said. "I'll confess, in the anger and outrage that followed the destruction of the World Trade Center and the attack on the Pentagon, I thought maybe I should be willing to surrender a little bit of my freedom if it meant my children would be a little safer."
But as the United States turned its attention to invading Iraq, White said, the government undertook extraordinary policy changes, including labeling captured enemies as "enemy combatants" and holding them indefinitely, without charge and limited or no access to lawyers or the courts.
"We became lawyers not just to make a living, but to uphold broader principles of the law," White said. "Our founders recognized, in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, that these rights are not given to us – we have them innately: they belong to us."
"Richard Clarke is here tonight because he recognizes, and I am quoting from his book, "That we must… defend the Constitution against those who would use the terrorist threat to assault the liberties the Constitution enshrines."
White also presented the MBA Legislator of the Year Award to Rep. Michael A. Costello, D-Newburyport.
"Rep. Costello is proud to be a lawyer, and prouder still to serve his constituents," White said. "He has had an unfailing commitment to the needs of the judiciary and a keen interest in the concerns of practicing lawyers. In particular, Rep. Costello has vigorously fought for adequate funding for our court system. He has also been active in the recent fight to attain rate increases for bar advocates, public defenders and district attorneys, and he has joined with us in opposing reinstatement of capital punishment."
White described how Costello has been a leader in the fight for reforming mandatory minimum sentencing, post-incarceration supervision, Criminal Offender Record Information laws and prison inmate training programs.
"Perhaps the most vital role Rep. Costello plays in the Legislature is that of defender of the Constitution. He is often a lone voice of reason when the Legislature is discussing bills that, while perhaps well-intentioned, have the potential to diminish our constitutional rights."

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was fined $30,000 by the NFL on Wednesday, but says he didn't kick Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub on purpose.
That's why Suh insisted he doesn't need to apologize to Schaub.
Suh spoke to reporters Wednesday for the first time since his left cleat connected with Schaub's groin area in Detroit's loss to Houston last Thursday.
Suh dodged another suspension from the league, which has fined him instead for his latest questionable move on the field.
His reputation, though, has taken another hit.
The NFL suspended Suh for two games last season after he stomped on Green Bay's Evan Dietrich-Smith in a Thanksgiving game. Suh said he was sorry to Dietrich-Smith.

A beach can be seen along the coastline of Arnhem Land, east of Darwin, in Australia's Northern Territory. Over half of Australia lies above the Tropic of Capricorn, but it is home to only five per cent of the population. It is a frontier land with little infrastructure, populated by cattle barons, crocodile hunters and aboriginal tribes. Geologists say the Northern Territory, which is the size of South Africa, has abundant diamond, gold and uranium reserves. However, a fifth of the Northern Territory is owned or controlled by aboriginal groups and many Aborigines have joined environmentalists to discourage mining.

2007 Cooling Assistance and Fan Care Programs
Fairfax County Department of Family Services
12011 Government Center Parkway, Suite 500
Fairfax, VA 22035-1102
News Release #6/06
June 6, 2007
County announces start of cooling assistance and Fan Care programs for 2007
Fairfax County residents who need help to keep their homes cool this summer and prevent a health emergency resulting from extreme heat may be able to get assistance from two programs locally administered by the county's Department of Family Services.
The Cooling Assistance program, a federally funded program, helps eligible low-income households with at least one person considered especially vulnerable to heat: a child under age six, a disabled individual, or an adult age 60 or older. Cooling assistance can be used to help with:
- Payment of electric bills to operate cooling equipment.
- Payment of security deposits for electricity to operate cooling equipment.
- Repair of a central air conditioning system or heat pump.
- Purchase of a whole-house fan, including ceiling or attic fans.
- Purchase and installation of one window unit air conditioner for households where there is no unit or where the unit must be replaced.
Applications for this year's Cooling Assistance Program will be accepted from Friday, June 15, through Wednesday, August 15.
Applications can be picked up at the county's four DFS offices:
- Fairfax - Pennino Building, 2nd floor, 12011 Government Center Parkway 703-324-7500, TTY 703-222-9452
- Falls Church, 6245 Leesburg Pike (Route 7), Falls Church 703-533-5300, TTY 703-533-5316
- Reston - Lake Anne Office Building, 11484 Washington Plaza West, Reston 703-787-4900, TTY 703-707-9346
- Richmond Highway/Alexandria - South County Center, 8350 Richmond Hwy (Rt. 1) 703-704-6353; TTY 703-799-3435
The FAN CARE program
is another way to help older Fairfax area residents stay safe in the
summer heat. This electric fan distribution program, sponsored by
Dominion Virginia Power in partnership with the Virginia Department for
the Aging, annually provides about 200 free fans and/or window air
conditioners to eligible senior adults in the Fairfax area.
To qualify for FAN CARE, a person must be at least 60 years of age and
have a combined yearly family income of no more than $15,315 for a
household of 1, $20,535 for a household of 2, etc. Not all persons in the
home need to be seniors to qualify for a fan, but their incomes must be
counted. There is a limit of one fan per household.
The FAN CARE program began on June 1 and runs through the end of
September 2007. To request an application, call Kim Karlinchak in Fairfax
County's Department of Family Services – Fairfax Area Agency on Aging at
Fairfax County is committed to nondiscrimination on the basis of
in all county programs, services and activities.

Accountants and LawyersLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
You are attending a business meeting which consists of only accountants and lawyers. From your previous dealings with these two professions, you know that accountants always tell the truth about everything, and lawyers always lie about something.
Two gentlemen, Sam and Adam, approach you. Sam introduces himself and says, "I am a lawyer, but Adam is an accountant."
Based on what you know from your previous dealings, what are each of the men's actual professions?
AnswerBoth Sam and Adam are lawyers.
Since an accountant ALWAYS tells the truth about everything, he would never say that he is a lawyer. Therefore, Sam must be a lawyer. Since he is telling the truth about being a lawyer, and you know that he always lies about something, he must be lying about the second part of his statement. Therefore, Adam is not an accountant but also a lawyer.

I had to pinch myself to make sure I was awake. I was having lunch with the head of equities from a German fund manager at a Conran restaurant near Tower Bridge. I had asked what trends he saw and the answer flowed as smoothly as the sparkling Perrier.
"I predict a convergence between traditional and alternative fund managers, as long-only managers start to incorporate the new techniques available under Ucits into their toolkit. There is also a blurring between institutional and retail – all these boundaries are blurring," he said.
This visionary also thought it was possible some investors would ask for more account to be taken of sustainability principles in investing, while he had heard of ETFs, but didn't think they were likely to take off.
It was as if the whole of the last 18 months had been a dream.

Considering the amount of crazy moments that he has had in his career, it's hard to think that there's anything that Mike Tyson hasn't done since he emerged on the boxing scene. Well, you can add impregnating a prison guard onto that list. Iron Mike was in Las Vegas for the first of his six one-man shows at the MGM Grand. The show is aptly titled, Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, and patrons in attendance got just that. However, Tyson left out a rather large detail when he talked to ESPN's Rick Reilly after the show on Saturday, telling the famed...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A county prosecutor says he wants more information on the Ohio Senate finance chairman's decision to champion a 2009 budget amendment that benefited a hometown agricultural nonprofit the senator co-founded and financially backed.
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien expressed "some concerns" surrounding media reports that Springfield Republican Chris Widener pursued a budget provision that helped the Ohio Equine and Agricultural Association. Widener says he guarded against any conflict by resigning from the nonprofit's board and canceling a startup loan guarantee he'd provided the nonprofit before pursuing legislation.
O'Brien, a Republican, said Friday he's asked Legislative Inspector General Tony Bledsoe to gather details and report back to him as he gathers facts.
Widener said Friday he's provided Bledsoe the facts about the board and will provide any additional information needed.

Tax Moves to Make Now
The annual scramble to make smart tax moves before Dec. 31 is proving especially vexing this year.
Congress still hasn't settled 2013 tax rates on income, investments, large gifts and estates. Deductions and other breaks are also in doubt, now that politicians from both parties are calling for cutbacks—although in different ways.
And huge questions remain unanswered even for the 2012 tax year. For example, the Internal...

Cardinals shut out behind Wainwright in Miami
Club can't pick up ace after he allows three in fourth, including rare HR
MIAMI -- When Adam Wainwright last faced the Marlins, he struck out seven in a two-hitter on Aug. 6, 2010.
But in his first start against them in more than four years, the right-hander was far from that dominant pitcher who had a 2.11 ERA in his previous eight career appearances against the Marlins. Miami jumped out early on Wainwright on Tuesday night and didn't let go, winning, 3-0, to hand St. Louis its fourth loss in five games.
Wainwright survived a scoreless first inning in which he faced six batters before retiring eight straight. But in the fourth, Jarrod Saltalamacchia dumped a 1-0 pitch into shallow right-center field to score Casey McGehee, who had hustled around the corner at first to lead off the frame with a double.
Two batters later, Donovan Solano did some damage against the organization that first signed him in 2005. He drove a ball down the third-base line that wavered between foul and fair territory before banging off the foul pole and into the stands for a two-run homer.
Everyone in the stadium was confused about the ball's path, including Solano, who stood and watched for a moment before it went fair.
"I'm just never thinking someone's gonna hit a home run off me," said Wainwright, who entered the game with a home run rate of 0.28 per nine innings. "And he made a good swing. That ball was 10 feet foul and it came back fair. It was just the craziest ball flight I've ever seen."
Wainwright had thrown 60 pitches by the end of that fourth inning, but he settled down enough to need just 88 total pitches to get through seven. He was at least more efficient than in his last outing on Thursday, in which he tossed 122 pitches in the same number of innings.
"Directionally today, I was very happy where I was most of the game," he said. "But we didn't win the game."
Down by three runs, St. Louis' offense couldn't put together any support for Wainwright. Marlins starter Jarred Cosart, despite a high pitch count, allowed only three hits over seven innings.
And two of those hits belonged to Mark Ellis, who was in the lineup at first base to cover for a slumping Matt Adams. The 37-year-old middle infielder didn't even seem fazed by making just his third career start at first.
"He made a nice play over there, a couple of picks," manager Mike Matheny said. "Just made the most of his day. It's great to see for him."
Ellis tried to get something started in the sixth by knocking a leadoff single. He advanced to third following an error by Marlins first baseman Garrett Jones and a forceout at second, but Matt Holliday struck out to end the threat.
The Cardinals threatened again in the ninth, like they did on Monday, but this time they were unable to score. Kolten Wong led off with a single and moved to third with two outs before Adams pinch-hit with runners on the corners. Adams, however, couldn't get to left-hander Mike Dunn, striking out for the 20th time in 22 games.
"I speak on behalf of everybody that this is not the kind of game we want to put together," Matheny said. "Waino was very good today. A couple things happened that were kind of atypical, but after that, we just can't be a team that doesn't score any runs."

Microplane grater
The Microplane is a marvel of technology, function and clever marketing. What makes the Microplane so great? Hundreds of tiny razor blades are created through a chemical etching process. These little razors tend to slice, not rip or shread. This gadget made it into the kitchen after a short stint in the tool shed. Its original use was to shave wood (microPLANE, get it?).
Love cupcakes, but need something bigger?? Use this large cupcake pan to make one big huge cupcake!!!
Simply the best. Cakes come out effortlessly and they offer wonderful, creative designs. We collect these like some people collect baseball cards.Added 10 Years Ago from Williams-Sonoma

Rockies unable to slow Twins bats in first-half finale
Anderson tagged with five-run first in return from disabled list
DENVER -- The Rockies' offense showed enough resiliency to end the first half on the right note Sunday. But offensive resilience can only get a team so far when a starter spots the opposition five runs in the first and the bullpen offers no favors.
The Rockies' pitching helped the Twins secure a new season-high of 18 hits in Colorado's 13-5 loss Sunday at Coors Field. The defeat puts the Rockies just a half-game above the National League West cellar and cements their seventh series loss in the last eight.
Making his first start since breaking his left index finger on April 12, left-hander Brett Anderson was shelled for five runs and seven hits in the first inning. That's one fewer hit than he allowed in his entire two-game, 9 2/3-inning rehab assignment and things would have been even worse if the Rockies didn't turn a superb 5-4-2 double play three batters in.
"My stuff wasn't very good," Anderson said. "I was one pitch away from getting out of it unscathed and I just couldn't execute a pitch before seven hits -- which that should never happen."
Anderson buckled down big time after that, though, limiting the Twins to just three hits and three walks while compiling all four of his strikeouts over his final four innings. The Twins added another run off Anderson in the fifth, but it was unearned after DJ LeMahieu's relay throw ricocheted off Trevor Plouffe's hand and into the visiting dugout on Plouffe's leadoff triple.
"I think it was a combination of rust and I think he was amped up," manager Walt Weiss said of Anderson. "He left some balls out over and got hit hard in the first inning but I thought he did a heck of a job battling after that. … I thought he did a nice job all things considered. He left the game and we were still in position to win that game."
Down 5-0 before they took their first at-bat, the Rockies didn't go easy. Justin Morneau put the Rockies on the board in the first by lofting an RBI single in front of a diving Josh Willingham following a 10-pitch at-bat. Nolan Arenado then returned the favor by plating Morneau on a double off the left-field fence.
The Rockies got two more back in the second, starting with a beautifully laid bunt by Anderson that scored Wilin Rosario with runners on second and third.
"If you'd have told me the best thing I would have brought to the team today would be a bunt at the plate, I would have called you a liar," Anderson said.
After Plouffe scored on LeMahieu's error, the Rockies struck back yet again with Morneau crossing home plate on a Corey Dickerson groundout.
"The guys have done [battled back] a lot," Weiss said. "Unfortunately a lot of times we've still been coming up on the short end."
With the deficit still at one, that's as close as the Rockies would get as left-hander Rex Brothers couldn't carry over the momentum from right-hander Tommy Kahnle's 1-2-3 sixth inning.
Brothers began the seventh by serving up back-to-back singles before walking Eduardo Escobar with one out to load the bases. Sam Fuld then ended Brothers' outing with a sacrifice fly to center.
"At times, it looks like he's found it and he's struggled at other times," Weiss said of Brothers. "But we'll keep holding out hope. He's been one of the best in the game. … I think he'll get on a roll again."
Right-hander Adam Ottavino retired the first batter he faced in taking over but not before Chris Parmelee scored on a passed ball to put the Twins up 8-5. Rosario's turnaround toss looked to be in time on the play at the plate but instead, it pegged Parmelee in the back.
The Twins got another off Ottavino in the eighth when Brian Dozier deposited a solo shot just inside the left-field foul pole. An inning later, Dozier did it again with a three-run homer off right-hander Brooks Brown.
"They raked today," Arenado said. "Thirteen runs ain't easy to come back from. It's good to see that we can [fight back]. But we can always do that. We've always been known for coming back. … That won't ever be a concern but we've just got to find a way to win games and hopefully in the second half we can do that."

reversible burdastyle 12/2012 jacket #140
Added Nov 20, 2013
by cathytxtwfr
Ouidah, Benin
This jacket is from the very first issue of BurdaStyle that I ever bought – only took me a year to finish it. I wanted to make it reversible, and finding a reversible zipper was a bit difficult in West Africa, so I waited until I was back in the states to finish it.
The pattern originally called for non fraying fabric, but I sewed 2x of everything so it could be reversible. I love the hoodie and the long cuffs – perfect for when I need that extra bit of protection from the cold.

A CONVICTED burglar who threw toys at police during a four-hour long rooftop stand-off has been jailed for 16 weeks by magistrates.
Adam Ashworth, 24, had been informed by the probation service that he was due to be returned to prison, after breaching his licence, the Burnley court was told.
But his solicitor Mark Williams said that he took exception when police officers arrived while he was putting his young child to bed.
Ashworth ended up on the roof of his Burdett Street home, throwing playthings and tiles at officers until eventually agreeing to come down just before 1am on Friday.
The police helicopter was drafted in during the incident.
He admitted an affray charge - when he appeared in court 14 hours later. Ashworth also faces extra time inside, for a period to be determined, for breaching his licence.
Parveen Akhtar said officers arrived at the defendant's home at around 7.15pm on Thursday and - aware that he had a previous conviction for escaping from custody - went to the front and the back doors.
But he did not emerge and went up to the loft, climbing onto the roof from where he threw toys, books and tiles at the officers.
Mr Williams said Ashworth was aware that he was going to be returned to prison, after a court hearing on Wednesday, but had not been taken away as the proper paperwork could not be completed.
The court heard that there was a confrontation, as police arrived when he was putting his young child to bed, and things 'got out of hand'.
Mr Williams added: "He accepts that to react the way he did was unacceptable and there is only one person responsible for the position he is in. He apologise and I would ask you to impose the minimum sentence you feel is appropriate."

Miller throws five shutout innings in win
Cardinals top prospect strikes out six for second straight 'W'
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | April 24, 2012 1:36 PM ET
Miller (2-2) struck out six, walked a pair and scattered five hits over five frames, throwing 91 pitches to pick up the "W" five days after he held New Orleans to a run over five innings for his first Triple-A victory.
The right-hander worked into and out of trouble in the first inning when Anthony Rizzo singled to load the bases following consecutive walks to leadoff man Brett Jackson and Dave Sappelt. Miller struck out Luis Valbuena and Welington Castillo and then popped up Adrian Cardenas to escape the jam.
Miller worked a 1-2-3 second, struck out Jackson and Sappelt in the third, and, with runners on the corners in the fourth, he caught Travis Wood looking to end the frame.
Valbuena doubled with two outs in the fifth, bringing the tying run to the plate, but Rizzo popped up to third baseman Zack Cox to end the inning and Miller's afternoon.
Miller, the Cardinals' Minor League Pitcher of the Year for the past two seasons, entered his first Triple-A season as the No. 5 overall prospect in baseball and the No. 2 right-handed pitcher behind Atlanta's Julio Teheran. He's 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA with 25 strikeouts and eight walks in 18 innings.
St. Louis' first-round pick in 2009 allowed four runs in each of his first two starts, taking losses against Oklahoma City. He split the 2011 season between Class A Advanced Palm Beach and Double-A Springfield, finishing 9-3 with a 2.70 ERA in 16 starts.
Adron Chambers, Ryan Jackson and Bryan Anderson drove in the runs for Memphis on Tuesday, while Travis Wood (1-2) allowed two runs -- one earned -- and struck out eight over six innings to suffer the loss for the Cubs. Wood was acquired with Sappelt during the offseason from the Reds in the deal that sent Sean Marshall to Cincinnati.

AN actress best known for her television roles is looking forward to treading the boards in one of the most influential plays of its generation.
Rebecca Ryan, who starred as Debbie Gallagher in Channel 4's Shameless and Vicki McDonald in the BBC's Waterloo Road, will bring to life Shelagh Delaney's older than her year's teenage lead in A Taste of Honey at Malvern Theatres.
Set in Salford in 1959 the play follows 17-year-old Jo who is desperate to break free from her wayward mother, Helen, and the production is also Hull Truck Theatre's artistic director Mark Babych's debut for the venue.
Rebecca said: "I'm really happy to be starring in such an archetypal play by an inspirational writer. Being from Manchester this is a role that's close to home for me and I'm particularly excited to taking this production out on the road with such an illustrious company as Hull Truck Theatre."
Jo's instinct for survival and pursuit of happiness leads her to fall in love with Jimmy, a sailor on shore leave.
Abandoned by her mother, Jo's courage is tested yet again when Jimmy returns to sea and she discovers she's pregnant.
Defiant in the face of convention, Jo moves in with her friend Geoffrey, a young art student, who assumes the role of surrogate father to her unborn child.
As their relationship deepens, Jo discovers that her independent spirit is both her torment and her salvation.
Shelagh Delaney was only 18 when she wrote the play and it burst onto the stage in 1961 in a production that took the West End by storm and later became a classic of British cinema.
Rebecca made her television debut at the age of 15 when she appeared in Emmerdale and made her stage debut at the Royal Court Theatre in the highly acclaimed production Scarborough by Fiona Evans.
A Taste of Honey runs from Tuesday to Saturday, June 17-21 and daily performances take place at 7.30pm, with a 2.30pm matinee on Wednesday and Saturday.
Tickets range from £10.64 to £25.20, including a 12 per cent booking fee.

|The main event on Day 3 in Ullswater. Cold and wet most of the way up. Didn't matter -- Striding Edge looked like Oxford Street at rush hour, there were so many people, so I descended from Hole in the Wall to Red Tarn, then up Swirral Edge, which was less crowded. The ridge and summit were covered in cloud, so thick at the top I almost walked by the summit cairn and Gough monument. Given the weather, I descended by a longer but gentler route via Whiteside and Glenridding Common. All in all, a fine Lakeland experience

|A clear but stormy day on top
Date Climbed: May 26, 2012
|I had camped at Red Tarn and it had had been a stormy night. Not cold at all, and clear skies, fortunately, but the wind proved too strong for my tent. One of the poles snapped, and after I fixed it, it snapped in a different place. Being out of spare parts, I couldn't fix it again and my tent was now a bivvy bag, it's main purpose being to keep my stuff from getting blown away. As I tried to get some sleep, I hoped that the storm would ease, but I wasn't so sure about that. And if it didn't, I might have no other option than walk back down. I fell asleep in a less than cheerful mood.
The next morning it was still windy, but not nearly as much as during the height of the storm. It was a sunny day, and I saw quite a few people on Striding Edge. Great! It's on!
The scramble was easy, and while it was windy, there was no danger of being blown off the ridge. However, to my surprise, as soon as I got on the summit plateau, the storm was back again, and at times it was impossible to walk in a straight line!
After Helvellyn, I made my way south over lots of other fells, ending the day in Ambleside.

Date Climbed: Jul 31, 2010
|Started off in bright sunshine on a hot sunny day. By the time I reached the top I was shivering in 3-layers, drenched & shielding my face from razor sharp pieces of sleet. Striding edge was gorgeous, although I was pretty scared that the strong winds would sweep me off the ridge. The scramble to the summit is fun, but there is usually a long line of fellow climbers doing this. Unfortunately I did not get a view at the top because visibility was down to almost zero, but I did enjoy the climb. I would advise all climbers to take a map & compass because I ended up getting lost due to the lack of visibility.

Seminarians in Nigeria say 'Thank You' for a Water Tanker to Provide Clean Water
Tuesday, April 15, 2014
Project Code: 141-02-29
This year the minor seminary of Saint Joseph in Zaria is celebrating its golden jubilee, and, through the generosity of ACN's benefactors, that celebration will be all the more joyful thanks to an abundant supply of clean water. Life for the seminarians has never been easy. Zaria lies in the overwhelmingly Islamic North of Nigeria, and ever since the seminary was opened, the missionaries have faced hostility. But over time the situation in the North of Nigeria has become ever more dangerous for Christians. In 1987, the seminary was completely burnt down during a time of religious rioting. Thankfully, through the courage and effort of staff and students alike, the seminary rose again from the ashes, and today it continues to train young men, who will later enter either a major seminary or a religious order. And each year the number of students increases. The seminary continues to face major challenges. Securing a supply of electricity and clean drinking water, together represent core problems. Although the seminary has two wells, they only have water in them during the rainy season, from June until October. During the dry season, which lasts from November to May, the seminary has to buy water.To make matters worse, the quality of the water is very poor, and the seminarians often suffer from various waterborne infections due to the unclean water, including dangerous diseases as typhus, cholera and hepatitis. This had tended to undermine the whole teaching program, since instead of focusing on providing a good education, the seminary had to spend more and more time and money on medical treatment for the students.Fortunately, thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, ACN was able to come to the rescue with a donation of $28,900 so that the seminary could purchase a water tanker capable of carrying over 2,600 gallons. This makes it much easier to purchase good, clean drinking water. The rector of the seminary, Michael Kagargo has written to say: "Thank you for your help, and please be assured that all of us, students, parents, seminary staff and the people of God here, as well as I myself, will pray for all your benefactors."Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Chad DeWick walked out of the Duval County jail Monday afternoon, about 24 hours after his arrest on a charge of disorderly intoxication at Sunday's Jaguars game.
Leaving jail, DeWick told Channel 4 that despite the night in jail and eating some bad food, he'd be willing to run onto the field during a game again.
"The Jacksonville Jaguars were losing so and I figured I'd make it a little more entertaining," said DeWick.
IMAGES: Fan runs onto field during game
DeWick, 25, appeared somewhat proud of himself for pulling the stunt this is only drawing a slap on the wrist from the legal system.
The Jaguars are not being as forgiving. They say DeWick will not be allowed back to a Jaguars game ever despite an NFL policy instituted this season. The league's policy is to have disruptive fans complete an online class developed by a psychotherapist that costs $75 to $100 that teaches people how to act in a stadium.
The incident during the third quarter of the Jaguars-Texans game is also raising security concerns. DeWick was able to run more than 100 yards on the field before Jaguar's Safety Dwight Lowry ran him down and handed him over to security.
SMG, the company that runs EverBank Field, send WJXT this statement:
"An incident of this nature is completely unacceptable. SMG is currently investigating the actions, procedures and protocols of CSC, the company that provides on field security at EverBank Field, to ensure that this type of incident never occurs again."

MADRID (Reuters) - Alberto Contador and the International Cycling Union (UCI) have agreed on the size of the fine the Spaniard will pay after being found guilty of a doping offence, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Thursday.
The "amicable settlement" between the UCI and Contador, who was stripped of his third Tour de France title after testing positive for the banned anabolic agent clenbuterol in 2010, prompted CAS to terminate the arbitration procedure it was overseeing, CAS said in a statement on its website (www.tas-cas.org).
The UCI and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) were involved on one side of the arbitration with Contador and the Spanish cycling federation (RFEC) on the other, CAS said.
"Following a first decision of CAS on 6 February 2012 finding Alberto Contador guilty of a doping offence, the CAS had to rule on a request of the UCI to impose a fine on the Spanish rider," the statement said.
"However, the CAS has been informed of an amicable settlement between the UCI and A. Contador regarding this issue and has officially terminated the arbitration."
CAS did not say how much Contador, who returned in August to win the Tour of Spain after serving a retroactive two-year ban, had agreed to pay.
Media reports have suggested the UCI demanded 2.4 million euros ($3.13 million) from the Team Saxo-Tinkoff rider, who was a member of the Astana team when he tested positive.
Contador's spokesman Jacinto Vidarte declined to comment on the CAS statement on Thursday or reveal the size of the fine.

I loved this film. I didn't know much about Carl Sandburg
before. An American treasure!
Comments about PBS American Masters: The Day Carl Sandburg Died DVD:
I just viewed this American Masters documentary on TV. People who cherish American history will appreciate this fascinating biography. It was great to view the commentary of Sandburg fans, such as Studs Terkel and Pete Seegar. I look forward to reading Sandburg's Chicago Poems, and the Lincoln biography. I can imagine Carl Sandburg reading poems at an Occupy Wall St rally, with Smedley Butler standing beside him. Thank you PBS, American Masters, and Bonesteel Films.

A MAN has died after falling from the roof of the Wyvern car park.
Police and paramedics were called to the scene at 9.30pm tonight and attempted to treat the man. However, because of the injuries sustained he died a short time later.
Several of the nearby roads were closed as a cordon was put up around the area for a short time while enquiries into the circumstances of the incident were carried out.
The death is not being treated as suspicious at this time.

After violent weekend in city, district attorney seeks help from community at Nicetown public forum
Two days after a weekend in which gun violence claimed six lives, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams stopped by a Nicetown church to speak to residents about the city's biggest and most persistent crime problem.
Though Tuesday night's "Northwest Town Hall" meeting wasn't scheduled in response to the cluster of murders — it had been postponed in late November — Williams' decision to focus on gun violence likely didn't surprise anyone seated inside Triumph Baptist Church.
As of the start of the meeting, there were 311 murders in the city in 2012. One, on Sunday, occurred about a block away from Triumph's Hunting Park Avenue doors.
"There are far too many street corners that are littered with teddy bears and candles," said Williams.
Focus on crime-prevention efforts
Much of the evening centered on the DA office's efforts aimed at crime prevention and reducing recidivism, or repeat offenses. Williams said that is part of changing the "paradigm of what it means to be an American prosecutor."
"For years, whatever question was posted to a prosecutor, the answer was more jail time, more prisons, more people under the prisons," said Williams. "But the reality is, what's more important is for us to prevent crime."
To be sure, the equation involves cracking down on individuals and areas prone to crime.
In addressing gun violence, Williams pointed to efforts like the city's GunStat program which — launched in February — identifies violent and repeat offenders in particularly problematic areas with the goal of stopping them before gunfire erupts again.
If one of those individuals is arrested, the DA's office works to prosecute them off the streets.
The program currently operates in small swaths of North Philadelphia and Kensington.
Illegal gun possession a concern
Williams said he is also focusing on individuals caught carrying a gun illegally.
Since late January, prosecutors have sought higher bail amounts (between $25,000 and $50,000) in cases where that charge is the most severe a defendant is facing.
Defendants must post 10 percent of that amount to stay out of jail as their case progresses. As a result of the initiative, 73 percent of relevant individuals have stayed in jail, said Williams.
He also wants to have offenders serve heftier sentences in those cases.
"We know people are going to be selling drugs and doing some stupid stuff. We're going to deal with that," he said. "I just don't want you shooting people because when you're shooting people a whole lot of innocent folks are getting shot too."
Seeking public buy-in
Williams also discussed, however, that there is a community component to his prevention efforts.
"We need your help because we're all in this together," he said.
Williams noted that 80 percent of the city's gun violence is caused by people who sell narcotics, usually involving individuals who settle arguments with bullets. Cutting off the flow of customers, in a supply-and-demand sense, can help.
"If you want to help me reduce crime, I need you to help your family members, your friends, relatives, co-workers, that are addicted, help get them into rehab," Williams said. "That really has a great impact."
Reaction from residents
At least a couple attendees accepted Williams' plea.
Nikki Bagby, who currently lives in Germantown, was a longtime Nicetown resident. She said as a result of a community effort, four nuisance properties were shut down near her home.
"It's up to us to make some of our neighborhoods secure," she said.
The key, she said, is for people to take ownership of their communities; residents cannot be afraid to speak up, and out, when unwanted activities or individuals become part of them.
North Philadelphia resident Evan Figueroa works with ex-offenders through the Philadelphia Recovery Community Center. He echoed Bagby's sentiments, saying that residents can't just stew in their frustration when it comes to tackling crime.
"If we want to see change in Philadelphia," he said, "we have to make the change."

A SERIAL drink-driver escaped an immediate prison sentence despite a spate of offences.
Blackburn magistrates heard David Nicol Hayes was on bail to Oldham magistrates for drink driving when he was stopped and refused to provide a specimen on November 22.
He was banned for the Oldham offence but was again caught behind the wheel in Accrington six days later.
Hayes, 39, of Haworth Street, Rishton, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol and while disqualified, failing to provide a specimen for analysis and two charges of driving without insurance.
He was sentenced to 24 weeks in prison suspended for two years, made subject to community supervision for 12 months with an alcohol treatment requirement, banned from driving for three years and fined £180.

Did you know?
Experts believe rucksacks should not weigh more than a quarter of a hiker's body weight.
Some may call the four-day Mphongolo Trail in the Kruger National Park primitive, but others will relish the opportunity to get back to the basics of nature, carrying their own camping equipment and food, drinking river water and being completely free from the trappings of modern living.
This hiking trail begins and ends at Shingwedzi Camp in the northern region of the Kruger National Park and hikers will walk through the large wilderness area between the Shingwedzi and Mphongolo rivers.
With no set routes, roads or camp sites along the trail, you can decide which direction to take and where and when to set up for the night, with nothing to separate you from the local fauna but the sturdy material of your tent. Animals you may encounter on this hike include elephant, impala, buffalo, rhino, leopard, lion, cheetah, African wild dog and any number of birds.
The hike is led by two experienced and armed rangers who guide hikers through the terrain and remove all traces that the group had ever set up camp in the area. You, however, will be responsible for setting up and taking down your own tent, as well as cooking your food.
Roughing it is certainly the correct term to describe the Mphongolo Trail, but if you're not afraid to use a spade and dig a hole as your lavatory while surrounded by wild animals and spectacular scenery, this is definitely the hiking trail for you.
The Mphongolo Trail departs with a minimum of four hikers and a maximum of eight, though you can book on an individual basis.

How to get here
There are daily flights from Johannesburg to Phalaborwa and Hoedspruit Airports, as well as the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport from where you can hire a car and drive to the Kruger National Park. Shingwedzi Camp is about 71km from the gate, so allow for a minimum of three hours for the drive.
Best time to visit
The Mphongolo Trail departs every Wednesday and Sunday between February and November. The best game viewing is during winter.
Length of stay
The Mphongolo Trail is a 4-day hike, but spend some extra time exploring the northern Kruger National Park.
What to pack
Camping equipment, cooking utensils and stove, water purification tablets, sunscreen, hat, torch, hiking boots, toilet paper, sleeping bag, food and water. Insect repellant and malaria prophylaxis are essential.

There is no official Murphy's Law Day, a day to honor Major
Edward A. Murphy, Jr. (1918 - 1990) an American aerospace engineer who
declared, "If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those
ways will result in disaster, then somebody will do it that way."
is a Murphy's Law 2014 day-to-day calendar. There's a band that
performs as Murphy's Law. I hereby declare Feb. 13 as Murphy's Law Day.
That'll give everyone who forgot to order roses or candy for their
Valentine an excuse. It will also explain why, on the one day of the
week that I leave at home both of the cameras that I normally cart
around with me, I pass a tree hanging low from the weight of two adult
bald eagles.
I didn't just drive past them on my way home from the
office, I practically drove under them. These two symbols of American
strength were perched in some sort of tall hardwood growing roadside
about a quarter mile south of the Blanchard River on Road 8. They turned
their pearly heads toward me, blinking majestically. Even with the
pedal to the metal and back with both cameras, they were gone. I did see
a large bird scanning mid-field, some distance away. I heard bird
laughter. I did. I hope someone else took a photo, and that they will
submit it to the Sentinel.
On occasion, my family transports
injured or orphaned wild animals in need of treatment from point A to
point B. We trained for three years with a licensed wildlife
rehabilitation center to have this privilege. We've moved a lot of
creatures, including several raptors, but never an eagle. We've heard a
lot of stories though, some of them pretty funny.
Like the time
that Black Swamp Raptor Rehabilitation Center combed the back roads of
the back roads of Paulding County looking for what had been called in as
an eagle. The completely healthy bird was a big chicken.
And my
favorite story is actually a yearly trend experienced east of here in
Castalia, where Animal Planet award-winning Back to the Wild is located.
Bald eagles are seen frequently now along Lake Erie. Let's hope they
don't dip into the harmful algal bloom too much. Anyway, Mona at BTW
houses injured and nonreleasable bald eagles in various flight cages at
the center. She says that, during mating season, the lawn around these
huge runs is populated with whiny adult male bald eagles, all pining for
the females inside.
There was a time when white-tailed deer were a
rarity in Ohio. Now there's a protracted season. I don't think we'll be
seeing packets of eagle jerky at the checkout anytime soon. At least I
hope not.

Well, if you want a wiki in another language than those two available, I'd like to hear it. But remember this, I expect you to familiarise yourself with the standards and give the new language wiki a similar form of quality as the English. And of course, quality over quantity.
I recommend we only pick one other language for now, until, I suppose, a lot of other people comes along, not to worry, people, I will participate myself, but usually with the trivia(l) stuff (such as infoboxes, data, etc., stuff that is mostly non-language based).

Corsair Dominator PC2-10000: Fastest DDR2by Wesley Fink on 1/31/2007 2:00 AM EST

OBWan - Wednesday, November 14, 2007 - linkIt appears that the "highest memory speed" chart on page 7 is not an objective comparison. Besides the top 3 bars that were tested with the overclock-friendly 680i platform, all the rest were tested with old chipsets e.g. 975X. The old chipsets actually hindered the max overclocking potential of those other DDR2's while at the time of their reviews, the editors believed those DDR2's had reached their speed limit, which was an unsighted mistake. So please delete this biased comparison chart and re-do all the tests with the same 680i platform. The readers in this forum deserve not to be cheated. Reply

phil verhey - Thursday, February 01, 2007 - linki had buffalo pc2-10000 3.5 months ago.. and i still overclocked it to 1300mhz at 5-5-5-18 .. talk about an either ignorant, or biased article. Reply
Wesley Fink - Friday, February 02, 2007 - linkThe Buffalo 10000 was announced in Japan a couple of months ago, and it was widely reported that DDR2-1200 and DDR2-1250 were "coming". We have reviewed Buffalo memory in the past and we have yet to receive Buffalo PC2-10000 samples for review. We also have not seen a single review of Buffalo PC2-10000. PC2-10000 is also not listed on the Buffalo website - the highest rated Firestix there are PC2-8500.
The Corsair PC2-10000 is a production product with warranted PC2-10000 performance. We ALSO reached DDR2-1300 and DDR2-1315 several months ago, with OCZ and Corsair, but neither product wass rated or warranted at PC2-10000.
I have no doubt the Buffalo PC2-10000 is likely a good product. It is just we have neither seen or received for testing Buffalo PC2-10000 - we have only seen press announcements. Reply
VooDooAddict - Wednesday, January 31, 2007 - linkI'd like you to also show a zero based benchmark graph. I understand that you mention it in the article ... but too many people will just look at the graphs. Budget focused people also should see how little going down to 667 or even 533 effects the performance (I try to steer people to 800 just for a little more future proofing of their memory investment).
I'm sick of people requesting this absurdly expensive RAM. I've got not problem people requesting the RAM for over clocking, the good looking cooler mods, or the brand name... but people are still requesting this stuff because they expect much better performance.
I can make my own Zero based graph based on your numbers to show people ... but I'm much rather direct them to the original source. Reply
Wesley Fink - Wednesday, January 31, 2007 - linkThe explanation is bold and tells readers why we show a limited range. It is difficult enough to pick out memory variations in a reduced range chart, and it would be almost impossible in a zero-based chart. We also clearly state results on a zero-based chart would show little variation in performance at different speeds.
In the conclusion I was also very clear:
"There is also the reality that Core 2 Duo and AM2 really don't need the highest memory speeds to perform best. What they need is low latency DDR2-800 or possibly 4-4-3 DDR2-1067 to get the best performance possible. The unfortunate reality that we see again and again in memory tests is that the super high memory speeds are great for bragging rights and flexible overclocking, but they really don't do much for increasing actual real world performance on either the C2D or AM2 platforms.
Memory companies seem obsessed right now with higher and higher DDR2 memory speeds... We wish memory companies would become just as obsessed with producing a moderately priced 2 GB DDR2-800 kit that can perform day in and day out at 3-3-3 timings. It would be a bonus if it also overclocked to DDR2-1067 with 4-4-4 timings. With Vista performing best with 2GB of memory many will be upgrading memory as they move to the new OS. Whoever finally produces a reasonably-priced low latency DDR2-800 2GB kit will sell all they can produce."
We are reviewing super high-end memory that is a good choice for some buyers, like overclocking enthusiasts, but they are a waste of money for the average buyer. We definitely agree once you get above 800 on C2D or AM2 there is very little gain in performance. Your money is better spent on a faster processor or an upgraded video card. Reply
Live - Thursday, February 01, 2007 - linkIf there is no real world difference then why do you state in your buying guides that it is important to keep a 1:1 ratio?
From the January 2007 Buyer's Guide: Midrange Menagerie
Using a 1:1 memory:bus ratio (which is typically optimal for overclocking)
This is not the only example. You seem to do this in all your memory reviews I have read lately as well. Granted they have been of high end memory and it seems unreasonable to spend that much on memory if you weren't looking for the absolute maximum speeds. I still don't understand tough why a 1:1 ratio is good for overclocking. It would seems to me that by lowering your memory ratio you could reach higher CPU overclocks cheaper which is what really matters, no? I mean most overclock as a way to save money not get the WR in superPI.
The thing is for us that don't work with this everyday it's hard to keep up and not fall for the aggressive marketing. I would appreciate it if you could devote a little more time to steer us right without breaking the bank. I know it's probably not as fun but it would be much appreciated by us readers. Reply
Neosis - Sunday, February 04, 2007 - linkI think additional latencies shall arise at chipset level. Generally following stages take place while requesting data from memory:
1- Data Request from CPU thru. the FSB
2- Chipset transfer the request to memory from FSB
3- Memory responds to the request
4- Chipset then trasfer the request from the memory thru. FSB
5- Finally the requested data travels across the FSB to the CPU
In stage two and four, running the memory asynchronous to the FSB will increase latency. Since conroe has short pipeline like Amd, memory latency is more important than the memory bandwidth. Reply
tayhimself - Wednesday, January 31, 2007 - linkSorry but that is a piss poor excuse.

Still surprised my box beats out the latest ram with the Overclock. Can only imagine having the new ram overclocked on the beat! :O Reply
Wesley Fink - Wednesday, January 31, 2007 - linkWe make no attempt in our memory testing to max out the overclock on the CPU. In general we try to choose settings that will yield CPU speeds that are consisitent and relatively near stock speed - so they can be compared to other results.
This CPU can OC with stability to 3.9 to 4.0 GHz as you saw in our Tuniq 120 Tower review. Running memory at high overclocks combined with high CPU overclcoks will definitely produce much higher benchmark numbers. However, the reality remains that the memory component alone contributes much less to high performance than CPU speed or the GPU used in benchmarking.
If you look closely at performance results for the 680i on p.4 you will see we included both 1:1 (same speed, really 1:2) and 5:4 linked ratio tests. The 5:4 has 20%+ higher buffered bandwidth at DDR2-1315 than the 1:1 measures at the same DDRS-1315, yet gaming performance is almost the same. Memory does make a difference in performance, but memory speed matters much less on C2D and AM2 than it did on previous processors. Reply

Beltran back in action, starts in right field for P.R.
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- St. Louis Cardinals star Carlos Beltran, who has been nursing a bruised right toe, was back in the lineup, starting in right field Tuesday night for Team Puerto Rico.
"I asked him if he wanted to DH but he said he wanted to play right field," said Puerto Rico manager Edwin Rodriguez. "He's been running the bases, he's been doing everything. He's ready to go."
That's good news for Puerto Rico, which only has four outfielders on its roster now that Andres Torres pulled out because of an injury.
Beltran played the first six innings of Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox, going 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored.
"He looked 100 percent," Rodriguez said after the game. "He felt a little bit sore but he's fine."
Beltran, 35, batted .269 with 32 home runs and 97 RBIs in 151 games for the Cardinals last year. He is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2013 season.

Loss to Sox presents Marlins with a teachable moment
Redmond points to baserunning as an area of concern
CHICAGO -- Marcell Ozuna claims he touched home plate.
The Marlins outfielder represented the tying run in the sixth inning of a 4-3 game, but was called out sliding into home trying to tag the plate with his hand. Home-plate umpire Paul Nauert told Marlins manager Mike Redmond that Chicago catcher Hector Gimenez blocked Ozuna's hand with his shinguard, and the White Sox went on to earn their first sweep of the season with a 5-3 win over Miami at U.S. Cellular Field.
Redmond said he wasn't happy with the way Ozuna handled the situation even though White Sox right fielder Alex Rios bobbled Justin Ruggiano's single. Redmond said Ozuna's passive baserunning rounding third created the bang-bang play at the plate, and the Marlins manager wasn't done there.
"I don't know why we've lost the art of just sliding into home plate," Redmond said. "I don't know why everything has to be a sweep of the hand or a diving, sliding-on-your-butt play. I don't know if that looks better on TV, but I was always just taught to slide straight into home plate. If you go in hard, you're going to be safe."
Redmond said he planned to have a conversation with Ozuna about the play, but the whole situation capped a frustrating weekend for the Marlins. They were just 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position in the first two games of the series. When their offense finally showed some life on Sunday, two plays at the plate eliminated crucial runs and their pitching faltered.
Marlins starter Alex Sanabia's day lasted just 72 pitches and four innings because of a sore right groin, and the right-hander said the injury will likely require some time on the disabled list. Sanabia has a history of groin problems dating back to last season, but he didn't feel the injury prior to his start on Sunday. He said his groin affected his pitching during the game, but it didn't start becoming a problem until around the second inning.
That was after Adam Dunn had already launched an opposite-field, two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning. The White Sox added to that in the second, scoring two runs on Alejandro De Aza's two-run double.
Sanabia had trouble keeping the White Sox off the basepaths all day, and Redmond said he noticed something was wrong from the start.
"I think he battled to give us the four innings," Redmond said. "His velocity was down and he just didn't look like himself."
The White Sox had another chance off Sanabia in the third inning, when Dayan Viciedo doubled down the right-field line with Paul Konerko on first. Second baseman Derek Dietrich, praised by Redmond for his strong arm, gunned down Konerko at the plate on the relay, on what was a head-scratching send by Chicago third-base coach Joe McEwing.
But in the end, it was the Marlins who were on the more frustrating end of the close plays around home plate. Ozuna's play was the focus of Redmond's postgame disgruntlement, but Chris Coghlan was also thrown out heading home in the second as a part of the Marlins' two-run inning.
Ruggiano and third baseman Nick Green provided some clutch hits in the inning, and Juan Pierre followed suit in the third by stealing second, advancing to third on a sacrifice fly and scoring on Ozuna's groundout to third.
Redmond simply had no excuse for his struggling offense after Friday and Saturday night's losses, but the Marlins finished 3-for-9 with runners in scoring position on Sunday. He complimented his pitching staff for keeping the Marlins in games after the series' first two contests, explaning that his starters almost needed to pitch perfectly with the offense struggling. He didn't get that perfection from Sanabia on Sunday.
"I was pretty much going out there and trying to have the bullpen not take too big a hit early on," Sanabia said. "I battled through it. I did what I had to do, what I thought was right."
Marlins reliever Wade LeBlanc entered the game and threw three scoreless innings in relief before Steve Cishek allowed the Chicago's insurance run on an eigth-inning single by Rios that plated De Aza. Once again, Miami's offense went cold late in the game and couldn't muster another run off White Sox starter Dylan Axelrod.
Chicago's right-hander said he didn't have his best stuff on Sunday, throwing 5 1/3 innings and surrendering all three of the Marlins' runs.
"I was erratic in those middle innings," Axelrod said. "Self-inflicted third inning when I gave up that run with the walks. But you know, we pulled it out -- so I can't be mad about it. Just get ready for the next one now."
It proved to be enough against a banged up Sanabia and a struggling Marlins lineup. Axelrod also combined with the White Sox bullpen to quell Dietrich, Miami's most potent offensive threat during the first two games of the series. Dietrich had reached base in 14-straight games to start his Major League career, but the streak ended on Sunday.
The Marlins are already dealing with injuries to several key players. Sanabia's groin injury opens up another opportunity for Redmond to fill, much like injuries to outfielders Giancarlo Stanton and Logan Morrison opened a door for the 22-year-old Ozuna.
The Marlins leave Chicago banged up and frustrated after getting swept for the fifth time this season, and Ozuna will leave with a teaching moment from his manager after his play on Sunday.
"I slid away because I didn't want a collision [that got Gimenez] hurt or myself," Ozuna said.
Redmond said he'll let Ozuna know that's not how his old veteran ballclubs used to do it.
