Cain overcomes pain to fire eight strong frames
Offense breaks trend vs. Hudson with six-run fourth inning
SAN FRANCISCO -- Matt Cain deserved to be rewarded for the toughness he demonstrated when he played a line drive off his right hip.
The Giants soothed Cain's pain in definitive fashion.
They chased Atlanta Braves ace Tim Hudson, who has made a habit of dominating them, with a six-run fourth inning Friday that generated an 8-2 victory.
The Giants hadn't beaten Hudson since they cruised to another rout, 12-6, on April 8, 2006. It was essentially a different era. Barry Bonds still roamed left field for the Giants, and No. 28 was worn by Lance Niekro, not Buster Posey. Edgar Renteria played shortstop for the Braves, four years from becoming a World Series hero for the Giants.
Since then, Hudson went 6-0 with a 2.48 ERA in nine starts against the Giants. To put the Giants' fourth-inning outburst in perspective, he allowed them as many as six runs only twice in 17 outings. San Francisco's splurge featured five consecutive hits; Hudson's unbeaten streak against the Giants included four games in which he yielded five hits or fewer.
The beneficiary of San Francisco's offensive windfall was Cain, who won his second start in a row and improved to 4-1 with a 1.82 ERA in his last five appearances against Atlanta. Giving San Francisco's bullpen some much-needed rest, Cain struck out seven in eight innings and surrendered three hits, including Brian McCann's two-run, fifth-inning homer.
McCann created more of a fuss with his previous at-bat in the second inning. The ball he scorched off Cain's hip caromed toward first-base foul territory. But Cain hustled after the ball, plucked it off the ground just as it crossed the chalkline halfway toward first base and sidearmed a throw that retired McCann.
Manager Bruce Bochy and head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner raced toward Cain to check on him. Asked later how squarely the ball hit him, Cain responded, "Pretty good," but he remained in the game.
"He showed just how tough he was," Bochy said.
Cain dismissed the mishap. "It should be just a good bruise," he said.
His pitching made more of an impact than the line drive. Continuing to rebound from his rocky April, Cain is 2-0 with a 1.76 ERA in his past two starts.
"His ball was coming out hot tonight," McCann said. "He was real deceptive. His 92 looks 94. That's why he is so good."
Marco Scutaro bookended the big fourth with singles. The first, a grounder up the middle, led off the inning and extended his hitting streak to 10 games. Pablo Sandoval's single set up three run-scoring hits in a row: Posey's double, Hunter Pence's infield single and Brandon Belt's double.
Was luck involved? Certainly. Sandoval's hit wasn't particularly well-struck; Pence's was a swinging bunt between the mound and third base; and Belt's ball bounced over leaping first baseman Freddie Freeman. It was as if the baseball gods were smiling upon the Giants after Hudson's years of tormenting them.
"It was a nightmare inning, obviously," Hudson said. "I didn't make very good pitches to get the inning going. Then when I needed a break here or there, the balls found some holes and some balls made for tough plays. I just had a tough time stopping the bleeding."
Hudson intentionally walked Brandon Crawford with one out to set up a potential double play. Cain hit the ground ball that the Braves sought, but it scooted untouched into right field for another RBI single. Hudson struck out Angel Pagan before Scutaro lined his second single sharply to left, delivering Belt and Crawford.
The Giants knew they had accomplished something rare against Hudson. "When you get an opportunity like we did tonight against a guy who's done what he's done over his career, that's always nice," Cain said. "Because it's always a battle with him."
Pagan's sixth-inning, two-run homer offset McCann's long ball -- the first homer Cain has ever allowed to reach McCovey Cove on the fly.

Verapamil immediate-releasePronunciation
Generic Name: verapamil (ver-AP-a-mil)
Brand Name: Calan
Verapamil immediate-release is used for:
Treating high blood pressure and chronic stable angina (chest pain). It may be used alone or with other medicines. It is also used for treating and preventing supraventricular tachycardia (a rhythm disturbance of the heart) and for controlling heart rate response to other rhythm disturbances, specifically atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Verapamil immediate-release is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing (dilating) your blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing heart rate, which lowers the workload on the heart. It also dilates coronary arteries, increasing blood flow to the heart. It also works by slowing the electrical conduction in the heart, slowing heart rate, and/or normalizing heart rhythm.
Do NOT use verapamil immediate-release if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in verapamil immediate-release
- you have certain heart problems (eg, left ventricular dysfunction, sick sinus syndrome, second- or third-degree heart block and do not have a pacemaker), very low blood pressure, or moderate to severe congestive heart failure (CHF)
- you have atrial fibrillation or flutter and a pre-excitation syndrome (extra conduction pathway in the heart), such as Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome or Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL) syndrome
- you have shock caused by serious heart problems
- you are taking dofetilide or you have taken disopyramide within the past 48 hours
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Youth Courts
In 2011 PSR Philadelphia began the revitalization of the Youth Court Program in four Philadelphia high schools. Youth court programs strive to nurture in youth a respect for the rule of law, help develop positive citizenship attitudes, encourage civic engagement, and promote educational success through an array of service learning opportunities, strategies and activities. Youth courts, employing youth as jurors, judges and attorneys and handling real-life cases involving their peers, are structured to provide positive alternative sanctions for first-time offenders, allowing young people to take responsibility, to be held accountable, and to make restitution.
The goal of Youth Court is to use positive peer pressure to ensure that young people who have committed minor offenses pay back to the community and receive the help they need to avoid further involvement in the school disciplinary system. This program is designed to serve as an alternative to In-School and Out-of-School suspensions, which do little to actually address errant behavior. By providing an alternative to out-of-school suspension, the PSR Youth Court Program addresses behavioral issues using peer accountability and is based on the principles of balanced and restorative justice (BARJ).
BARJ principles include:
- Crime hurts individual victims, communities and juvenile offenders, and creates an obligation to make things right.
- All parties should be a part of the response to the crime or infraction, including the victim if he or she wishes, the community and the juvenile offender.
- Accountability for the juvenile offender means accepting responsibility and acting to repair the harm done.
- The community is responsible for the well-being of all its members, including both victim and offender.
- Restoration - repairing the harm and rebuilding relationships in the community - is the primary goal of restorative juvenile justice.

Topic: Radioembolization...Sequential Lobar versus Whole Liver approach?
I ran across this article on whole liver versus sequential lobar approach with radioembolization:
They documented a very significant risk difference between treating the whole liver in one go versus treating each lobe of the liver over two procedures.
The conclusion is:
"Noncirrhotic patients undergoing sequential lobar radioembolization had less hepatic toxicity compared to whole liver embolization. The sequential approach should be the preferred strategy."
This is pretty concerning for me since the Stanford docs are suggesting a whole liver radioembolization. Hopefully they can explain the issues to me at our next meeting and justify their approach.
Just thought I would raise the issue to others considering the procedure.

Seminary Library Receives Remarkable Donation from Alumnus Fr. John Leonard
6 October 2011 • By Theodore C. Bazil, Associate Chancellor for Advancement
The Father Georges Florovsky Library of St. Vladimir's Seminary has been recently immensely enriched by a donation of books from alumnus Fr. John Leonard (M.Div. '72, M.Th. '73). The library, now holding over 145,000 volumes and receiving over 350 periodicals each year, is considered one the richest resources available in the North American continent for research in Eastern Christianity.
Eleana Silk, librarian at St. Vladimir's, noted the exceptional value of the collection, saying, "We have been anticipating receiving this donation for many years now. One of the greatest values of the collection is that Fr. John collected materials from a different geographic perspective during his many years in the Holy Land. His donation will bring many books from Europe and the Middle East that are not normally found in a North American library."
Theodore C. Bazil, associate chancellor for Advancement, in his letter of acknowledgement to Fr. Leonard, wrote:
I want to express profound thanks to you for your recent and most wonderful gift of approximately 3,000 volumes of your personal library to St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary. I know your nurtured collection represents over 50 years of carefully collected books that span a broad range of subjects. Your books are purposely eclectic and attest to your lifelong interest and reading in Eastern and Western theology, Christian art, literature, and biblical studies, as well as many other subjects. Over 900 titles alone comprise the Christian art and architecture section.
Your early life in the United States Foreign Service and later service as chaplain to the community of nuns in Nazareth for twenty-three years allowed you to add a rich component of books to our library on Islamic, Jewish, and biblical archeological studies. The collection attests to your mastery of languages. How many libraries can boast that they actually have a book in the Samaritan language?
Your donation is an extremely important resource that will benefit this generation and future generations of students, readers, and researchers. It brings great intellectual value to our library and buttresses the remarks of Dr. James Billington, Librarian of Congress, when speaking about our seminary library: "[I] consider its contents to be perhaps the finest collection of eastern Christian literature in the western hemisphere (second only to the Library of Congress, of course). It is a resource which should be made available not only to Orthodox scholars but also to the general academic community."
We are deeply grateful for this precious gift.

A chalazion (plural: chalazia) is an inflammation of the deep oil
glands inside the eyelid. It develops over 2 to 3 weeks, forming a firm lump
under the skin of the eyelid, sometimes with inflammation and swelling.
Often the cause of a chalazion is not known. It may develop from an
internal gland infection that does not drain and heal, or from a blocked oil
gland. It can also develop from rubbing the eyes or using products near the
eyelid that can irritate the eye.
Home treatment is usually all that is needed for a chalazion. This
includes not wearing eye makeup or contact lenses; applying warm, wet
compresses to the eye area; allowing the chalazion to break open by itself; and
using nonprescription medicines. If the chalazion interferes with vision, it
may need to be cut open (lanced) by a doctor.

HOUSTON - Surveillance video from a shooting at a gas station in southeast Houston shows the clerk was punched in the face before firing his gun.
The shooting happened outside the Valero gas station on Martin Luther King Boulevard at Bellfort Street about 3:30 a.m. Monday.
According to Houston police, Alexander Calloway III, 21, went to the convenience store and asked for cigarettes. When the clerk, Akrem Azzam, unlocked the doors to try and get him to leave, he said Calloway threatened to kill him and hit him in the face.
Surveillance video shown by a store employee to Local 2 shows Azzam was punched in the face before the shooting.
"It is about really seeing the fact of what happened, and that is all of what we care because for the sake of the community. We want them to know this is really what went down, not what everyone else is saying," store employee George Halihel said.
Calloway was shot in the stomach, police said. Azzam then ran back inside the store and locked the door, according to police.
Investigators said the two men who were with Calloway ran up to the security window, and one of the men fired shots into the store.
A friend took Calloway to a firehouse in the 11000 block of Cullen for help. Calloway remained in the hospital Wednesday after undergoing surgery Tuesday. His parents said he may have to have a leg amputated.
"Y'all know that's wrong," said Calloway's father. "My son come to that store every day. The store clerk, I feel like he should be charged."
Detectives said Calloway was not armed when he was shot.
Azzam said he fired his weapon in self-defense.
Community activist Quanell X disagreed.
"This store clerk had in his mind and in his heart that he was going to shoot this young man," Quanell X said.
Quanell X said he believes Azzam should be charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon or attempted murder.
"I believe both parties have responsibility for what happened, but, at the end of the day, the store clerk never had to come outside," he said.
One of the men who was with Calloway, Kenneth DeWayne Bogan, has been charged with aggravated assault. Police said he was the one who fired shots into the store.
According to court records, Azzam once walked outside the store and fired a shot into the air after having an argument with relatives.
This was not the first shooting at the store. Last fall, two clerks were helping a customer when two masked men stormed in and immediately started firing. A clerk was wounded in the leg.

Stonewall Democrats of Dallas will host its second annual watch party at the Brick tonight during President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address.
The Washington Blade reports that two lesbians are among those who've been invited to sit in first lady Michelle Obama's gallery during the address. They are Lorelei Kilker, an analytical chemist from Colorado who was involved in a landmark sex discrimination case against her employer; and Air Force Col. Ginger Wallace, who's training to deploy to Afghanistan and is the first service member to have a same-sex partner participate in a pinning-on promotion ceremony.
Others who'll be sitting in the first lady's gallery include San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who has served as grand marshal of the city's gay Pride parade and who recently signed a pledge in support of same-sex marriage.
The Blade also takes a look at the question of whether Obama will endorse same-sex marriage — or otherwise mention LGBT issues — during his speech.
Stonewall's watch party begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Brick, 2525 Wycliff, Suite 120.

Commission on Population and Development: Statement by Director General Ursula Müller on "Assessment of the status of implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development"
(as prepared for delivery)
Mr. Chairman,Distinguished delegates,Ladies and gentlemen,
Germany very much welcomes the theme of this year's debate. The assessment of the status of the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) twenty years after the landmark conference in Cairo marks a milestone in the international community's dedication to population and development.
In this context, let me first of all thank the Secretary-General as well as UNFPA for the very comprehensive and insightful reports to the Commission.
The Global Review Report provides strong evidence of the continued relevance of the Cairo Programme of Action (PoA). The Report documents the achievements as well as the gaps and challenges ahead in the implementation of the Programme of Action. It is therefore valid and important input to draw upon for the further implementation in the coming years.
Mr. Chairman,
Germany reaffirms its strong support for and commitment to the Programme of Action, as well as to the Key Actions for the Further Implementation of the Cairo Programme of Action of the ICPD. With these two forward-looking documents, the international community committed itself to promoting and protecting sexual and reproductive health and rights more strongly. All Member States were encouraged to ensure education about population and health issues, including sexual and reproductive health issues, in order to promote the well-being of adolescents, enhance gender equality and equity as well as responsible sexual behaviour. Nowadays, the protection of young people from early and unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual abuse and violence should be a priority to all of us.
As the Global Review Report has shown, the improvements in maternal mortality and access to contraceptives have only been modest. Approximately 800 women still die in childbirth every day. Maternal mortality is especially high among young women, with pregnancy and childbirth being the leading cause of death amongst adolescent girls in developing countries. Furthermore, an approximate number of 222 million women still don't have access to modern contraceptives, 90% of these live in developing countries.
Consequently, the Report underlines that member states shall accelerate progress towards achieving universal access to quality sexual and reproductive health services and likewise protecting and fulfilling the rights of adolescents and youth to accurate information and comprehensive sexuality education.
Realizing sexual and reproductive health and rights for all, with a focus on the most vulnerable groups is one of the priorities of German development cooperation in the area of health and population policy. We consider sexual and reproductive health and rights a prerequisite for sustainable development and poverty reduction.
Therefore, we strongly advocate for a rights-based and gender sensitive approach in family planning, comprehensive sexuality education as well as linking HIV/AIDS to sexual and reproductive health strategies.Women and girls, like men and boys, must have full and affordable access to sexual and reproductive health information, services and supplies, comprehensive sexuality information and education and be able to freely and responsibly decide on matters related to their sexuality free of coercion, discrimination and violence.
Mr. Chairman,
Moreover, the Report has shown that the capacity to collect, monitor and project population dynamics continues to be weak in many countries. In some of the poorest countriesof the world, only about one third of births are registered.
Germany would like to stress the importance and necessity of regular collection and analysis of population data. It is important to ensure that demographic data, analyses and projections are used for sustainable development planning. When governments have access to comprehensive reliable population statistics and analyses, they can plan their national strategies more precisely and they can adjust their priorities and policies on the basis of an accurate assessment of people's needs.
Therefore, we support our partner countries in collecting and analyzing the demographic data they require for the design of their health, education, and labour market policies. This allows them to make better use of available resources, to address risks and to seize the opportunities that demographic trends provide.
Mr. Chairman
In conclusion, Germany believes that population dynamics and sexual and reproductive health and rights need to be reflected as important issues in the Post-2015 Development Agenda.The current demographic changes will have a huge impact on future poverty reduction and sustainability in every country of the world.
Together with our partners, we will work to ensure the preservation of the principles of the Cairo Conference and call upon all development partners to support the further implementation of the Cairo Plan of Action and the preservation of the ICPD beyond 2014.
Thank you for your kind attention.

Winning a Place To Show Their Talents
(Leitchfield, KY) - Several Lawler 4th graders have been part of an exciting project that may soon be on display at the annual Governor's Derby Breakfast and Celebration. A local newspaper article recently featured an invitation from the Kentucky Arts Council for schools to paint canvas tablecloths for the annual event. After reading it, teacher Sandy Salsman knew she wanted Lawler students to be part of the honor.
Each table on the Old State Capitol grounds will be fitted with a horse head and tail, and the painted canvases, or "Derby blankets," are to be draped across to complete the look. This is the fourth year schools have been invited to participate in the celebration.
An art lover herself, Salsman likes to "incorporate it when I can" into the lessons she teaches. For this one, she was able to incorporate social studies, particularly Kentucky history, art and a major dose of school pride.
Salsman and a group of students began their work right after spring break, with seven of them staying the course, start to finish. Each region of the state, along with its best-known landmarks and natural wonders now brightens "An Adventurous Road Trip Across Kentucky". From Eastern Coalfields to Western Farmlands, the colorful canvas features Churchill Downs, the State Capitol, Corvette Museum, even Lawler Elementary front and center.
Once finished, the canvas will take an "adventurous road trip" of its own. "I have to send it to Frankfort and hopefully ours is chosen," she said.
Spanning landmarks and regions of the Commonwealth, students put the finishing touches on their Derby blanket. Now comes the really hard part – waiting - to hear if their masterpiece will appear on a table at the Governor's Derby Celebration.

TPW Commission Authorizes Crossbows for Early Archery Season
AUSTIN, Texas — In preparation for implementation of new legislation, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission has adopted rules allowing hunters to use crossbows during the upcoming special archery-only hunting season and authorizing persons with documented physical disabilities to use laser sighting devices.
Currently, crossbows cannot be used during an archery-only season except by persons with an upper-limb disability. Recent legislative action gave authority to the Commission to allow any person, regardless of physical ability, to use a crossbow during the archery-only season, provided the person has acquired an archery stamp and a valid Texas hunting license, except in Grayson County. Crossbows may be used in Grayson County during the special archery-only open season (Oct. 3-Nov. 6) only by hunters with an upper-limb disability who possess a physician's statement attesting to the permanent loss of the use of fingers, hand or arm in a manner that renders a person incapable of using a longbow, compound bow or recurved bow. Any person, regardless of physical ability, may use a crossbow during the general season in Grayson County (Nov. 7-Jan. 3).
The Commission also authorized use of laser sighting devices by persons with a physical disability that renders the person incapable of using traditional firearm sights to hunt game animals and game birds. The provision is limited to lawful hunting hours in open seasons, provided the person possesses a physician's or optometrist's statement certifying the extent of the disability. The person must also be assisted by a person who does not have a physical disability, has a hunting license and is at least 13 years of age.
The new crossbow and laser sighting rules are both the result of bills passed by state lawmakers in the 81st Texas Legislature earlier this year. The new rules take effect Sept. 1, 2009.
Anyone planning to take advantage of the new crossbow opportunity during the special archery-only hunting season this October should review the rules and definitions for crossbow hunting in Texas. These are listed under Means and Methods in the Outdoor Annual booklet available at hunting license sales locations and on the TPWD Web site.*

Morinville Farmers' Market is flourishing
Growing market opens Friday
Wednesday, Jun 04, 2014 06:00 am
Special Market Events
� June 21 and 22 � St. Jean Baptiste two-day market
� July 18 � Street Performers Festival
� Aug. 23 � Morinville Community Fair
� Sept. 12 � Annual Chili Cook-off
� Oct. 4 � Oktober Fest
The Morinville Farmers� Market has long served as an urban outpost for vendors and consumers north of the area.
When the outdoor market opens this Friday at the Ray McDonald Sports Arena, it will be bigger and better than last year, a heartening statistic for market manager Korien Sampson.
�The stall listings for this year are 31-plus vendors. This time last year we had 20. In July and August when fruits and vegetables are ripe, we�re hoping to have 50 vendors.�
Spring was late in appearing, however greenhouse plants will be on sale along with horse tack, soap, crocheted dresses, jewelry, tattoos, paintings and hemp.
On the food side, mouthwatering fudge and cupcakes along with honey and beef raised 10 kilometres from Morinville will be highlighted.
�I�m expecting the fruit and vegetable producer to come in June 27, but it may be earlier,� Sampson said.
Anyone who builds up an appetite while shopping can stop by two food trucks. The Doghouse returns with its staple of hotdogs and hamburgers. New to the site is St. Albert�s Lo-Se-Ca organization, which will be manning a barbecued pizza truck.
Sampson would like to grow the market to 100 vendors.
�If you make it, bake it or grow it, I want to hear from you,� she said.
This is Sampson�s fourth season managing the market and in that time she�s altered the model and created a more viable arena for everyone concerned.
�When I started it was a sporadic market. They had anywhere from 10 to 15 vendors. Sometimes they had more. But some vendors left early if they sold out. It was disheveled and messy.�
Sampson was hired to rip the existing model apart and restructure it. From her own experience as a market customer, she recognized shoppers wanted to shake the hand of the woman who made bread or the man who ground the sausage meat.
�I started by following other markets. I created a set of rules and set boundaries. I made vendors arrive on time and they couldn�t leave before a set time.�
With new rules in place, vendors introduced more products. As the word spread, more visitors dropped by. Last year the Morinville market attracted 500-plus shoppers a day from St. Albert, Westlock, Athabasca and even seniors� buses from northeast Edmonton.
�The Morinville Market is trying to create a community atmosphere so everyone knows you.�
Whereas the St. Albert Farmers� Market stands out for its size, diversity and touristy clientele, the Morinville Farmers� Market capitalizes on good old-fashioned, small-town customer service.
�We�re like a little family. Come this Friday, vendors who haven�t seen each other since last year will be giving out hugs. As for the service, we�re all about pleasing the customer. The customer is why we�re here and they have to be happy with the product,� Sampson said.
�We definitely move at a slower pace. It�s not crowded. Even if we had 100 vendors, it still wouldn�t be elbow-to-elbow room. It�s very calming. We are rural Alberta � very laid back.�

These reviewers are experienced in providing storytimes to children of all ages, and have been known to read aloud to an adult or two in their time as well. It is the opinion of the WRL's Youth Services staff that picture books have something to offer to readers of all ages. Each review suggests appropriate age level of the reader, as well as the most suitable audience.

The difference in the treatment of Michael Vick and Donté Stallworth by the media, teammates, the NFL, and the general public reveals a great deal about our culture. The picture painted is not a pretty one.
Energy has been top on President Barack Obama's agenda of reforms. After his work to tackle the economic crisis, lower health care costs and advance our country's educational resources, the topic of clean energy is finally on the table.
Sonny Perdue has been an easy target for the media during the years he has headed state government.
Love has many faces; hate is a matter of degree.
Last month, President Barack Obama gave the command for the Navy Seals to use force to rescue Capt. Richard Phillips from four pirates in the waters off Somalia. They succeeded.
Americans love democracy, but mostly hate politics. Many would rid us of politics if they could. They say things like: "We'll never get good government until we get rid of all the politics and politicians."
My hair is wet. My socks are mildewed. My joints ache. There is a torrent of water running down the street, and more rain is on the way. Drought? What drought?
When I sat down to write this column, I'd planned to talk about the whole Miss California/Perez Hilton debacle.
As he worked his way through dozens of bill signings last week, Gov. Sonny Perdue put his signature on SB 27, a measure that designates April as Confederate Heritage/History Month and sets the stage for the upcoming observance of the Civil War sesquicentennial.
U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal gave up a safe seat with his announced candidacy for governor. Even so, the pros seem to outweigh the cons. My analysis:
Recent calls for secession from politicians in Georgia and Texas have brought to the surface some troubling undercurrents swirling beneath our region's political waters.
After too long an absence, I finally returned to sacred ground at the University of Georgia. For all my babbling about my love for UGA, I have not felt welcomed there for several years.
It is refreshing to see that so many liberals have discovered their moral compass. In their lust to claim the moral high ground over conservatives, along with their lust to discredit the previous administration and all of its conservative policies (and to prosecute as many of them as possible), liberals have decided that the "torture" of three al-Qaida figures in 2002 and 2003 is the issue with which to pursue their desired ends.
The lessons to be learned from the U.S. practice of torture by the Bush-Cheney administration are basically threefold:

The FAI Ballooning Commission (CIA) has updated the CIA World Hot Air Balloon Ranking List ahead of the start of the 2013 competition season. John Petrehn, Nick Donner and Stefan Zeberli lead the rankings which count 918 pilots (of which about 7% per cent are female) from 39 nations in total.
John Petrehn (see picture on the left © Cindy Petrehn) from USA tops the rankings following his performances at several World Championships: gold medals in 2010 and 2006 and a silver medal in 2012.
The 2nd place goes to Nick Donner, also from USA, who climbed on top of the podium at the 20th FAI World Hot Air Balloon Championship in Battlecreek (Michigan, USA) in 2012 and finished second in 2006.
The bronze medal taken at the 9th FAI World Hot Air Airship Championship in 2010 brought Swiss pilot Stefan Zeberli (see picture on the right) to the third step of the ranking list.
The purpose of the CIA World Hot Air Ranking List is to show a ranking of the top hot air balloon pilots of the world and provide a performance comparison among them. The list is established by a calculation formula that includes the results of the last five World Championships resp. World Air Games and to a lesser degree the competitor's national ranking position.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/3/2013 (1619 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My girlfriend has her own house, but since she came to my apartment, she does not want to leave! What should I do? -- Unwilling, Winnipeg
Dear Unwilling: You can't let someone move in, without being asked, so say boldly: "It looks like you're trying to move in and stay with me here as a couple. I am not ready for a living-together situation with you." After this pronouncement, she will either deny she is trying to move in and hastily pack her stuff, or beg for you to let her stay on because you get along so well and she loves you. So why is this really happening? Is it taking you too long to commit, or is she trying to escape home or annoying room-mates? If you have a new relationship and she is just feeling unhappy with her own digs, help her find a better place and move her furniture. But, if she's just frustrated because you won't commit in a big way and a year or so has passed, it's time to speak to her honestly about the relationship. It's not fair to either of you if she's trying to head for the altar and marriage and you just want to fool around.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My wife is a penny pincher. She's so cheap it kills her to pay for a broken toilet. She resents my buying anything of quality, with my own money. Last week the toilet cracked and she didn't want to get a new one. She told me to Crazy Glue the one we have. I refused as, this toilet could cause a lot of damage in the house if it exploded. We had a major fight where I told her she was crazy and needed help. She refused to go and say being frugal is one of her best traits as a wife. When the plumber came and did the job, she sulked and wouldn't talk to me for 24 hours, nor would she chip in. We have our own accounts but usually split household costs right down the middle. I was mad! If you ask me, she's losing her mind over saving money. She's off to the dollar stores for any small thing she needs, and she waits for summer to get garage sale deals on furniture. She has stacks of money in the bank -- half of every paycheque she ever earned. I'm frugal myself and at first I thought it was cool that she was such a money saver. But now, it's gotten embarrassing and she's obsessed. What to do? -- Reasonably Cheap, Winnipeg
Dear Reasonably Cheap: Since the cheap mentality is born out of fear of not having the necessities of life, you need to talk to your wife about the cushion you both have against that ever happening. She needs to be talked into buying things with value, and keeping the house in good repair. You need a toilet that won't break and cause thousands of extra dollars and you need it properly installed so it doesn't leak. That requires a real plumber, not you or her, with an instruction book in one hand. Your wife's cheapness needs to be softened to frugality. The best way to do that is to talk about assessing the value of spending in different situations, and not just looking for a way out of paying a decent buck for anything.
Questions or comments? Please email email@example.com or send letters c/o Miss Lonelyhearts, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, R2X 3B6.

One of the new introductions at the recent Fakuma exhibition in Germany was the launch of an all-electric multi-component series by Sumitomo (SHI) Demag Plastics Machinery (U.S. office in Norcross, Ga.). The new IntElect multi line starts with a multi 350 model of 350 metric tons and will be followed next by a multi 220 (220 m.t.). Features include extended ejector travel, hydraulic core pull with a servo-driven pump, optional wide platens, and optional turntable with motor drive integrated into the new NC5-plus controller. The activeDynamics injection control is said to regulate even complex injection profiles with reaction times faster than 100 microsec (0.1 millisec). Not only can injection pressure be ramped up in an instant, but the same is true of ramping down by actively reversing the spindle drive—not possible with hydraulic machines.
An IntElect multi 350 ran at the show producing a two-color PP flip-top closure in a 16-cavity mold with a built-in function to close the lids. Cycle time was 14 sec.

Product Features:
• Special 'OS' technology - 'OS' Manufacturing Technology enables CONSERV to be produced without inducedstresses allowing it to exhibit Ultra Low Thermal shrinkage.
• CONSERV, with nearly ZERO shrinkage, results in advantages including net material saving (the EVA sheet can be cut to the exact size of the glass), no cell mis-alignment/better aesthetics and shorter cycle time at lamination stage compared to most market Encapsulants
• CONSERV has matt finish surface on the inside and a specially embossed surface on the outside of the roll.
• The specially embossed design of CONSERV prevents inter-blockage of the layers resulting in its transportation and storage without masking film. Special embossing also facilitates sheet handling at the stage of sandwich making and air evacuation at the curing stage of the lamination process.
• Uniquely formulated 'CONSERV' offers a wide choice for module makers - from low melting to medium temperature melting Encapsulants
• Subject to the optical transmittance value of the glass used in the module, CONSERV's exceptionally high Luminous Transmittance results in higher energy output.
CONSERV EVA Encapsulant range:
• CONSERV A 360 -14 FC: Fast Cure & low temp melting
• CONSERV B 360 -14 FC: Fast Cure & medium temp melting
• CONSERV A 300 -10 UC / CONSERV B 360 -10 UC: Ultra-Fast Cure & medium temp melting

Will there ever be another back-to-back Main Event winner? The last time this happened was in 1987 and 1988 when Johnny Chan took home the gold championship bracelet. In his first win he defeated a field of 156 entrants and the following year saw the field of Main Event players swell to 167.
Incidentally, Johnny Chan almost made it a three-peat when he finished second to an unknown, young player, Phil Hellmuth, in the 1989 Main Event. Chan has cashed three times in the Main Event since losing to Hellmuth, in 1992, 2008 and 2010.
Many fans thought there might be another repeat winner in 2005. 2004 Main Event winner Greg Raymer was eliminated in 25th place in the 2005 WSOP Main Event after having outlasted all but 23 players in the field of 5,619 entrants. Compared to the field Johnny Chan had to overcome to complete his back-to-back wins that would be a little more than 33 times larger. Greg Raymer outlasted 2,575 players to win $5,712,585 and his first WSOP championship bracelet in the 2004 Main Event.
Ryan Riess is the current defending WSOP champion. In the November Main Event final table he was the last man with chips and a chair from a starting field of 6,352 players. For his efforts Riess pocketed $8,359,531 plus a gold and diamond championship bracelet. Will he be the first back-to-back winner in 26 years? Will the 2014 Main Event field be larger than the last few years? Many think the recent legalization of online in a few locations in the US will send more players to the 2014 WSOP.
The larger the field of players in the WSOP Main Event the smaller the chance of a repeat winner. Good Luck Ryan Riess, now's your time to make World Series of Poker history.

Photo Coverage: HEDDA GABLER Opening Night Party
Roundabout Theatre Company presents a new Broadway production of Hedda Gabler, starring Mary-Louise Parker, Michael Cerveris, Paul Sparks and Peter Stormare. Hedda Gabler, by Henrik Ibsen with a new adaptation by Christopher Shinn, is directed by Ian Rickson at the American Airlines Theatre (227 West 42nd Street). BroadwayWorld's camera caught the starry cast and crowd as they arrived for the after party for the new production!
The cast also includes Lois Markle, Ana Reeder and Helen Carey.
Hedda Gabler officially opened on Sunday, January 25th, 2009. This is a limited engagement through March 29th, 2009.
Mary-Louise Parker stars as "Hedda Gabler" in this new interpretation of Henrik Ibsen's modern classic. A woman of dangerous independence restrained by a conventional marriage, Hedda Gabler indulges in a cruel game, amusing herself with the misfortune she inflicts on those around her. As Hedda struggles to balance her wild desires against her chosen life, she sets into motion a manic chain of events that bring her story to a chilling end.
Roundabout Theatre Company has produced a number of Henrik Ibsen's plays including Hedda Gabler (1994, Broadway), An Enemy of the People (1985), The Master Builder (1983), Hedda Gabler (1981), Little Eyolf (1979), John Gabriel Borkman (1976), Rosmersholm (1974) and The Master Builder (1971).
Roundabout Theatre Company is one of the country's leading not-for-profit theatres. The company contributes invaluably to New York's cultural life by staging the highest quality revivals of classic plays and musicals as well as new plays by established writers. Roundabout consistently partners great artists with great works to bring a fresh and exciting interpretation that makes each production relevant and important to today's audiences.
Roundabout Theatre Company currently produces at three permanent homes each of which is designed specifically to enhance the needs of the Roundabout's mission. Off-Broadway, the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, which houses the Laura Pels Theatre and Black Box Theatre, with its simple sophisticated design is perfectly suited to showcasing new plays. The grandeur of its Broadway home on 42nd Street, American Airlines Theatre, sets the ideal stage for the classics.Roundabout's Studio 54 provides an exciting and intimate Broadway venue for its musical and special event productions. Together these three distinctive venues serve to enhance the work on each of its stages.
Roundabout productions are made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the National Endowment for the Arts; and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. American Express is the 2008-2009 season sponsor of the Roundabout Theatre Company.American Airlines is the official airline of Roundabout Theatre Company.The Westin New York is the official hotel of Roundabout Theatre Company.
Hedda Gabler will play Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m. with Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212)719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org or at the American Airlines Box Office (227 West 42nd Street). Ticket prices range from $66.50 to $111.50.

What's new? GrainCorp is a budding global agribusiness that has, through a series of acquisitions, bulked up and diversified its earnings profile geographically, and also seasonally.
Last month the company went into a brief trading halt as it unveiled a move to add a sizeable new integrated edible oils business to the portfolio for a total cost of $472 million.
Much has been going on behind the scenes as GrainCorp is actually acquiring two separate businesses that will be combined to join the stable as GrainCorp Oils.
The opportunity to combine Gardner Smith and Integro into a larger business will build on GrainCorp's existing supply chain management and grain-marketing expertise. It will also expand the downstream processing operations into canola and other edible oils.
In our view, the timing of the acquisition is excellent, with grain earnings near their peak, and the company has benefited from using the high value of its scrip in the deal.
In terms of the price tag, GrainCorp has paid seven-times earnings, which is in line with its own valuation and a little lower than deals in the industry in recent years, mainly due to getting a good price on Integro.
Outlook A downturn will come in the grain industry, whether it is next year or the year after, and we believe the move to acquire this new edible oils business is all about diversifying into a logical area to try to smooth earnings streams somewhat.
The move should diversify earnings for GrainCorp by generating increased earnings from downstream processing and non-grain port storage and handling operations. It should also serve to reduce earnings volatility through exposure to other agribusiness cycles and offers a complementary expansion of the geographic footprint in South Australia, Western Australia and New Zealand.
After the deal, the new oils business could make up about 15 per cent to 20 per cent of earnings in 2013, which would increase in times of poor grain carry-in.
Price Shares in GrainCorp were trading about $7.80 at the start of the year and a recent push to about $11 made for a near 40 per cent increase during that period. The new capital raising associated with the deal has since seen the shares trade back to about $9.
Between $110 million and $121 million in equity will be issued to Gardner Smith shareholders at $9.79 a share, meaning about 5 per cent to 6 per cent of the GrainCorp register will be in the hands of Gardner Smith shareholders.
A one-for-11 fully underwritten, pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer to raise about $159 million has also kicked off, with about 18 million shares to be issued.
Worth buying? GrainCorp has been opportunistic with the timing of this acquisition and got a decent price, and the move should smooth and increase earnings.
Over time we expect GrainCorp to continue to grow into a global agribusiness unless a predator takes it out at some stage, in which case we would expect a nice premium.
As the dust settles on the latest deal, the company will only build on a dominant position in the eastern Australian grain supply chain, which will likely make it a prime asset for possible suitors.

I'm 70 and just starting to learn how to grill. Got a gas grill three weeks ago that also can be used for smoking. I didn't so very well with that. Too much messing around changing set up.
I got a big green egg this last Mon. and bought your book HOW TO GRILL. I also have your DVD. I feel that I might still be a decent BBQer.
The book is just excelent. I can't wait to try the next meal. I'm making rubs and marinades and really enjoying it.
The ribs and wings last night were wonderfull.
Please,how about a book just for smokers?
Thanks again for your geat books.

Williams' era sinks to yet another new low point [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Whatever the explanation, it seems like yet another example of how ill-suited Williams is to be the head coach of an NFL team. We already knew that, of course, but it looks like we're stuck with him for the rest of the year. It'll be a long, cold death march.'
Call me crazy, but everything's coming up roses for this team [8:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'There's a lot of glee to wallow in today. The Bills have gone three straight games without scoring a touchdown. Painful? Embarrassing? Only for those who fail to appreciate the degree of difficulty attached to the feat.'
Cracked leg bone spoils Henry's big game [8:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Despite Williams' optimism, it does look like Henry could be out a while. A concerned Henry left the locker room wearing a temporary cast halfway up his calf and a protective walking boot on his foot.'
Monday billboard [8:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Best sign: "Buddy Was Right!"'
Bills lineman injured in crash on Mile Strip [8:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Mike Williams suffered minor injuries when his vehicle veered off Mile Strip Road and flipped over while he was driving to the game Sunday, said Orchard Park police.'
Another day of low points [5:17 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'The most telling moment in Sunday�s almost unwatchable Buffalo-Houston game took place not on the field at Ralph Wilson Stadium but off it. With about nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter, with the Bills trailing by just one point and theoretically still in the game, thousands of fans packed up their belongings and headed for the exits.'
A victory would be nice, but we'll settle for a TD [5:16 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Just like last week at Dallas, a 10-6 loss, one touchdown drive would win the game. Just ONE.'
Gutsy Henry stands above the rest [5:15 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Travis Henry deserved better than this.'
Buffalo Bills report card [5:14 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Quarterbacks: Feeling bad that he played poorly only on the road, Drew Bledsoe returned to The Ralph and gave the home fans something to boo. For a third consecutive game, couldn�t produce a touchdown and his sack/fumble with 1:51 left to seal the deal was his third such turnover in as many weeks. Repeatedly checked out of called runs on third-and-short and wound up 1 of 6 passing on such plays. D'
Ralph sick of Bills [5:13 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: 'In losing to to the second-year Texans, the Bills may have approached a new low.'
Bills' attack fires blanks [5:12 AM]
Toronto Star reports: 'Ralph Wilson Stadium yesterday resembled nothing so much as a bowl of confusion, a weird recipe of missed field goals, untimely penalties, dropped passes, repeated failures to protect the quarterback and questionable play-calling that will keep the radio talk show guys fuming.'
Bills fall hard [5:11 AM]
Erie Times News reports: 'Meanwhile, the rest of the Bills appeared to be in a daze. Afterward, their locker room was reduced to a quiet rubble, with what few players remained milling about but saying little.'
Lindell takes blame [5:10 AM]
Erie Times News reports: '"I certainly didn't do my job," Lindell said. "You add six points to that score and we win. It's frustrating. It's embarrassing. That's my job. That's all I do. I don't work at the grocery store, I kick field goals, and when that doesn't happen it's embarrassing."'
Texans' rejuvenated defense squeezes out fourth victory [5:09 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'The Texans entered Sunday's game ranked at or near the bottom of the league in nearly every defensive category, and while they surrendered 335 total yards to the Bills, they did not allow a touchdown for only the second time in their 26-game history. Pittsburgh didn't get into the end zone in a 24-6 loss to the Texans last season.'
Recipe for success combines ugly ingredients into a treat [5:08 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'It is part true grit and part simple determination that is swept up off the floor and mixed in with the tough gristly pieces to eventually produce something tasty. It is as much attitude as it is aptitude that makes what they have served up so far easy to swallow.'
Two Texans' players show hard work pays off [5:07 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'But big plays in clutch situations by Orr and Faggins, both of whom were promoted from the Texans' practice squad in the last 10 days, played a critical role in the win.'
Johnson invades Bills' space for career-high day [5:06 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'With the Texans trailing 5-0 and 1:22 remaining in the first half, Johnson caught a pass from backup quarterback Tony Banks on a slant route across the middle. Johnson broke loose from the grasp of three Bills at the Buffalo 35 and finished off a 46-yard touchdown catch, the longest of his career.'
Load to Shoulder [5:05 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'Banks, who did not play last season for the first time in his eight-year career, engineered a victory for the second time this season. In his only start, he rallied the Texans for a 14-10 upset of Carolina.'
Morale at all-time low as offense continues landslide [5:04 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'Sunday against the Texans, Bledsoe and the Bills rolled up 335 yards and ran 15 plays inside the Houston 20-yard line. For their efforts, they came away with one successful field goal attempt in three tries, a 12-10 loss and round upon round of questions about 12 quarters and change of unbroken futility.'
Capers benches Coleman, Peek [5:03 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'Capers declined to specify which rule was violated, but sources said the players were suspended for being late to multiple team meetings, including Saturday's. Peek confirmed that he was suspended for tardiness, but Coleman said through a representative that he wouldn't speak publicly about the matter until he had a chance to address it privately with his teammates.'
By the quarters [5:02 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'Travis Henry is stopped for a one-yard loss by Eric Brown near the goal line on third down, forcing the Bills to settle for a field goal.'
Texans Summary [5:01 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'With two safeties recorded Sunday, the Bills have three for the season and are hot on the heels of the NFL record of four held by five teams, most recently the 1999 Titans.'
Inside Look [5:00 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'The bottom line:
The Bills are struggling mightily on offense and were playing without top receiver Eric Moulds, but if the Texans play defensive as aggressively as they did against the Bills, they'll cause problems for a lot of teams. This was the attacking style of defense for which Dom Capers and Vic Fangio are known.'
Grading the Texans [4:59 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'Linebackers: A
Jamie Sharper and Jay Foreman did a good of stuffing Henry in the middle, and the pass rush was better than it has been in any game this season. Four linebackers -- Sharper, Kailee Wong, Charlie Clemons and Shantee Orr -- had sacks. Orr, who was on the practice squad until Sunday, had a debut to remember.'
Score one for the defense [4:58 AM]
HoustonTexans.com reports: 'The Texans defeated Buffalo 12-10 at Ralph Wilson Stadium in a game only their mothers, fans and Dom Capers could love. It was a good old-fashioned slugfest that featured more safeties than touchdowns.'
The Bills Keep Sinking Lower And Lower As They Lose To Houston [4:57 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'NOW, LETS GET REAL...THIS IS A BAD FOOTBALL TEAM. THIS OFFENSIVE COACHING STAFF IS SO FAR OUT OF ITS LEAGUE IT'S EMBARASSING RALPH WILSON AND THE CITY OF BUFFALO.'
Texans-Bills Quotebook [8:36 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"It was very critical that we didn't give up any big plays. Travis Henry did a great job getting out of the gate, but we held them to a field goal. Also, they missed some field goals and that was the difference."'
Gregg Williams Quotes [8:35 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'On contemplating going for it on fourth and goal in the third quarter before deciding on a field goal:
"We thought the ball was spotted on the one-yard line when we went into the huddle. When we came out of the huddle, the ball was actually a little bit closer to the two. We wanted to discuss it. It was in the third quarter and our defense was fighting and scratching. We had to get points out of that drive. That's what we believe. Once we found that the ball was spotted a little farther out than what we originally heard and looked at, we decided to kick the field goal and get points on that drive. I feel we failed on a couple other drives, where we didn't get field goals. It ends up being the difference-maker in the ball game."'
Drew Bledsoe Quotes [8:34 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"I don't really know what to tell you. We had opportunities when we were down there close and we've got to score touchdowns. What it comes down to is if we are running the ball everybody has got to be just right on their assignments and if we are throwing the ball somebody has got to make a play. If it's a great throw or a catch or whatever it is, we have got to score touchdowns down (in the red zone) and we haven't been able to do it."'
London Fletcher Quotes [8:33 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"Right now it's tough because it's the present one. We played a Houston team that has improved, but are they a better football team than us? No."'
