Edward L. Roney, 33, of Wright County, Mo., was arraigned Monday on a charge of flight to avoid prosecution in Lincoln County Court. When Lincoln County Judge Kent Turnbull asked him when he was last employed Roney replied never.
Turnbull was surprised at the low bond request from the county attorneys office partly because Roney has an active warrant from Missouri for failure to appear on charges of burglary, felon in possession of a firearm and armed criminal action.
Roney told the court that he has no possible way of raising any bond money.
Once his case in Lincoln County is finished and he serves any sentence from that, or pays bond, Roney could possibly be released.
If Missouri wants to extradite him they must send a Governors warrant to Sheriff Jerome Kramer and they will have 90 days to prove the allegations against Roney in Missouri are true and legitimate.
Then Missouri law enforcement can take him.
Cortney Lopez, 24, of North Platte, was arraigned on two counts of possession of methamphetamine and one count of illegal possession of a legend drug (Klonopin).
Lopez was arrested at 7:40 p.m. Friday at Burger King. Officers searched her belongings and found legend prescription pills. White residue located on drug paraphernalia tested positive for methamphetamine, police information officer Rodney Brown said.
Lopez is also held because she violated the conditions of her release from jail while she awaits proceedings to begin in district court, where she faces a previous possession charge.
Turnbull set her bond at $10,000 for the latest charges. Her next court date has not been set yet, as she waits to be assigned a public defender.
Lopez has been arrested more than 10 times in three years.
A legend drug is a medication that requires a prescription and can only be obtained legally from a pharmacy.

Geoffrey J. Shimon, 25, of Greeley, Colo., faced arraignment on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and possession of methamphetamine.
Shimon was arrested around 1:30 p.m. March 15 heading east on Interstate 80 by Nebraska State Trooper Ryan Hayes for a traffic violation.
He was found with nearly 3 grams of meth on his person, which gave Hayes probable cause to search his vehicle, where more than 8 pounds of marijuana was found.
Shimon asked for a public defender and Turnbull set his bond at $25,000.
Shimon will be back for a preliminary hearing on March 21.

Helen ESP
Summary from Baka-Updates . Five years ago, Helen lost her sight, hearing, and ability to speak in a traffic accident. She was living peacefully with her uncle and her guide dog Victor until, one day, she awoke to her mysterious powers.
Apparently Helen ESP is gaining a popularity among the Franken Fran readers after getting some translation, therefore this thread came along the way as well. I do not think there is a thread on this. Unlike Franken Fran, it does not contain gore and psychological treatments. Helen is not mentally depressed, yandere, or in need psychological therapy like we all want her to be. She deals with her problems through mysterious power and mostly a positive attitude. Those that is looking for mentally depressed and handicapped patients that finding a hard time adapting to life/extremely sadism, this is not the place to be. On the other hand, if you are looking for a bit of slice of life with bits of supernatural events, continue on.

The art seems to be a lot crisper in Helen, at least for Helen herself. I love seeing Manga artist get better with their work. Helen is a nice contrast to Franken Fran, they should release them on the same day always to balance each other out...

Chapter 9 contains a little bit of the Franken Fran morbid element though.
Spoiler for ch 9:
So is chapter 8 once you reach the ending.
Still, it is a much, much happier manga, and for a girl who lost her sight Helen's eyes sure seems to be full of emotion and life.

Is it just me or Helen is being portrayed as a catch of a woman? One is that boy who is her classmate head over heels off her, little brother of her old nurse. Another is the big guy little brother of her classmate who nearly went blind. In another chapter she ended up at the place of a guy in Aomori who immediately thought of her as those magical girlfriend type and help her go home. Latest chapter has a boy in the hospital with esp who is a bit crazy taking her with him and is flatly rejected.

Gave this a shot. Two chapters in and it's giving me a very familiar vibe... something like... Aria meets Someday's Dreamers I think?
I'm not too sure but it feels very familiar and I like it.

I like the interactions of Helen and Victor, thats a interesting part of the story.

TPWD Seeks Volunteers to Remove Abandoned Crab Traps
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Hoping to add to the mountain of almost 26,000 derelict crab traps hauled from Texas bays since 2002, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department officials are gearing up for the 9th Texas Abandoned Crab Trap Removal Program, running this year from February 19-28, 2010.
During this 10-day period, all Texas bays will be closed to crabbing with crab traps, and any traps left in the bay will be presumed abandoned and considered litter under state law, allowing volunteers to legally remove any crab traps they find. Before the 77th Legislature authorized the abandoned crab trap removal program, only the trap's owner or a Texas game warden could legally remove a crab trap. State game wardens pick up more than 2,500 traps annually, yet there are many more still in the water to foul shrimpers' nets, snag fishermen's lines, ghost fish and create an unsightly view of Texas shores.
Volunteers are needed to assist in the coast-wide effort to remove the numerous wire mesh traps that have been lost or abandoned since last year's cleanup. To facilitate volunteer trap removal efforts this year, TPWD will provide trap drop-off sites at several locations along the coast Saturday, Feb. 20, from 8 a.m. to noon, weather permitting. Additionally, at most sites, dumpsters marked with banners will be available to receive traps for the duration of the closure. Site locations will be announced in February.
Volunteers can work at their own pace during the closure as time and weather permit, but traps cannot be removed prior to Feb. 19 or after Feb. 28. Last year, volunteers, with the aid of numerous sponsors, removed more than 1,900 traps.
"The success of this program is a reflection of the keen sense of stewardship anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts have for the marine resources of this great state. Volunteers are working themselves out of a job, as indicated by the waning number of traps removed each year, but that is a good thing," said Art Morris, TPWD program coordinator.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Coastal Program, Coastal Conservation Association Texas, Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program, and the Cecil M. Hopper Museum are providing significant support to the crab trap removal program. Additional help is coming from numerous organizations and companies who are volunteering their services.
To participate, volunteers can arrange to pickup free tarps, gloves, trap hooks and additional information at their local TPWD Coastal Fisheries Field Stations. TPWD requests volunteers record and submit information about the number of traps that they collect as well as any sightings of diamondback terrapins.
For more information about the Abandoned Crab Trap Removal Program and how you can volunteer, please contact your local TPWD Coastal Fisheries Office or Art Morris at the Corpus Christi Field Station: (361) 825-3356, email@example.com; or Tonya Wiley at the Dickinson Marine Lab: (281) 534-0131, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Officials at Appeeling Fruit Inc. knew they were going to pick up the pace in their packing facility when they installed a band sealer — they just didn't know how much they needed the new machine when they bought it.
With a contract to supply sliced apples to Burger King's Northeast region set to kick in June 1, Ryan Gebely said the faster line is absolutely necessary for the Daubervile, Pa., company.
The company already supplies private-label products to the Wegmans grocery chain.
"We just finished signing all the documents and will be doing 2-ounce packages for Burger King beginning June 1," said Gebely, director of sales and marketing.
Gebely said Appeeling Fruit was already feeling production pressure when it bought a band sealer — a Doboy B-550 — from BaggingGuys, York, Pa., about a year ago. The company's business had outgrown its packing capacity and the new band sealer promised to speed up the line and reduce downtime.
"One of the main differences is the ease of cleaning and changing bands and other parts," Gebely said. "It's got a self tracker, and that saves time too."
The old band sealer on Appeeling Fruit's pack line frequently needed new heating elements and bands, which required time-consuming maintenance involving removing multiple parts to make the replacements.
With the new machine, replacing a band is as simple as releasing the tension on it, slipping it off and slipping on a new band.
Gebely said there has been almost no downtime on the line since the new equipment was installed.
"It self-aligns and there aren't any bolts or parts to remove. We're back up and running in a matter of a few minutes," Gebely said.
Employees also had to manually date stamp each bag before the new band sealer was installed. The new Doboy unit has an integrated Markem date coder that eliminated the need for hand stamping, further speeding production.
Appeeling Fruit has been in the fresh-cut apple business since 1998.
The company expanded its facility in 2009 to about 23,000 square feet. It has about 160 employees and runs two shifts seven days a week. The company processes about 40,000 pounds of apples per day.

THE Mayor of Horwich has slammed Chorley Council for 'hijacking' Rivington Pike as part of a publicity stunt, without consulting the town's residents.
The Lancashire council staked its claim over the historic tower by dousing it in red light as part of its campaign 'Choose Chorley' campaign, in a bid to attract more businesses to set up shop there.
The town's leader Cllr Alistair Bradley said they wanted to put Chorley on the map, and chose Rivington Pike — six miles away from Chorley town centre —as a 'landmark' to show just how far the town spreads.
But Cllr Christine Root said she thinks Horwich residents will be 'absolutely outraged' to see the Chorley stamp on the Grade-II listed building.
She said: "The bottom line is I just don't get it. I'm not sure what they are trying to do.
"I suspect people will feel it's being hijacked by Chorley, lighting it up without any consultation with the people of Horwich.
"For me it doesn't sit well. If you're going to do anything up there during the centenary year of the First World War, I would have expected something better than a blatant advertisement.
"They have every right to do it, but it's not seen by the general public as a Chorley landmark, simple as that. Nobody that sees that will associate it with Chorley."
The tower was completed in 1733, and was originally used as a watch tower and to accommodate grouse shooting parties.
In 1902 philanthropist William Lever gifted the land at Lever Park, Rivington to the people of Bolton, including the tower, but it was later transferred to Chorley in the 1970s.
As part of the campaign the Pike will be lit during the evening rush hour from 5pm to 9pm, Monday to Friday, for the next two weeks.
Yesterday also saw the launch of a new website choosechorley.co.uk and a new grants package for businesses looking to move to Chorley.
The website shows a map of the North West with Chorley — branded as a "city gateway" — at the centre of the map in bold, surrounded by the cities of Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Preston and Birmingham. Neither Horwich or Bolton feature on the map.
Cllr Bradley said Chorley Council hadn't consulted with Horwich residents because the plans were being kept a 'surprise'.
"I can't see why this is being described as silly when it's about the council doing all it can to create new jobs for local people during what has been a very difficult time for those struggling to make ends meet", he said.
"Lighting the Pike has certainly got people talking about Chorley and that is what we set out to do.
"Although it looks impressive, there is a very important reason why we are doing it, and that's to put Chorley on the map as part of our campaign to get people to Choose Chorley for business.
"The pike is Chorley's most visible landmark and the dispute over where we are is exactly the kind of debate we wanted to strike up so that there is no confusion as to where Chorley starts and ends.
"We want people to know exactly where we are and what we offer and that when they are passing the Pike on the motorway or rail network they know they are in Chorley."
What do you think of the stunt? Does Rivington Pike belong to Chorley or Horwich?

Community college programs serve two basic student populations: students planning to transfer to a four-year institution, and students
looking for short-term job training or retraining.
Most of these
courses are also transferable; however, the programs may not meet all the requirements
of four-year institutions offering degrees in the same major.
Contact the SCC Transfer Center at (509) 533-8215
regarding the transfer requirements for a specific college or university.
Click to download an
A.A. Degree Worksheet
Students planning to earn an A.A. degree must meet minimum standards of preparation.
Those whose records and test scores indicate a need for additional preparation may
be required to complete preliminary work in the college preparatory program. SCC
offers A.A. degree transfer courses for many
pre-majors. For assistance contact the SCC Transfer Center at (509) 533-8215.
A candidate for the Associate of Arts (AA-DTA) degree must complete 90 quarter credits in academic courses numbered 100 and above
with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 and meet specific distribution requirements:
It is highly recommended that students meet with a counselor or academic adviser at Spokane Community
College or Spokane Falls Community College on a regular basis to be sure that requirements specified in this degree are met.
Students should also seek academic advising at the four-year institution to which they plan to transfer early in their educational
planning to learn about additional requirements and procedures for admission. Degree requirements may change; for current
requirements students should consult a counselor or academic adviser. Prior college-level credits and grade points are transferred
for calculating total credits and GPA.
For detailed credit distribution information - consult the CCS Catalog or call the Counseling Center at (509) 533-3525.
The intent of the "D" requirement is to expose the student to racial and cultural perspectives beyond the dominant culture of the
United States. These courses can be identified in the quarterly class schedule by a ^D following the course title.
While all ^D designated courses fulfill SCC and SFCC graduation requirements and generally transfer to baccalaureate institutions,
they may not fulfill your chosen institution's Diversity or International Studies requirements. Check with the institution you plan
to attend to see what they will accept.

Omara "Bombino" Moctar is a guitarist and singer from the Sahara desert who has built a
legendary reputation in his homeland as a musical harbinger of peace. Born and raised in
Niger in the northern city of Agadez, Bombino is a member of the Tuareg Ifoghas tribe, a
nomadic people descended from the Berbers of North Africa. For centuries, the Tuareg
tribes-scattered throughout Niger, northern Mali, southern Algeria, and Libya-have fought
against colonialism and the imposition of strict Islamic rule.
During Bombino's lifetime, the Tuareg people have fought the Niger government to secure
their rights on numerous occasions, causing Bombino and his family to flee several times.
During one such exile, relatives visiting from the frontlines of the rebellion left behind
a guitar, and Bombino began teaching himself to play it. He eventually studied with the
renowned Tuareg guitarist Haja Bebe, who asked him to join his band, where he acquired the
nickname "Bombino"-a variation on the Italian word for "little child." While living in
Algeria and Libya in his teen years, Bombino's friends played him videos of Jimi Hendrix
and Mark Knopfler, among others, which they watched over and over in an effort to master
their licks. Bombino worked regularly as a musician and also as a herder in the desert near
Tripoli, spending many hours alone watching the animals and practicing his guitar. He
eventually returned to Niger, where he continued to play with a number of local bands. As
his legend grew, a Spanish documentary film crew helped Bombino record his first album,
Group Bombino: Guitars from Agadez Vol. 2, which became a local radio hit.
In 2009, Bombino met filmmaker Ron Wyman, who had heard a cassette of Bombino's music while
traveling near Agadez. Wyman was enchanted by Bombino's music and spent a year seeking him
out, eventually tracking him down to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, where he was in exile after
two band members were killed in a rebellion. (The Tuaregs have since put down their arms
and returned to Niger.) At the end of the war, Bombino returned to Agadez with Wyman and
staged a concert to celebrate the newfound peace that permanently established Bombino as a
hero of the Tuareg people.
Wyman featured Bombino in a documentary he was filming about the Tuareg and also produced
his 2011 solo album, Agadez, which was released on the Cumbancha label and helped
introduce Bombino to a global audience. Since the album's release, Bombino has toured the
US and Europe to critical acclaim. In April of this year, Bombino recorded Nomad
(Nonesuch), an album that debuted at the top of the Billboard and iTunes world
music charts.
Much has been written about the roots of the blues over the past 50 years, yet so little is really known as to the origins of the music that was incubated in the Mississippi Delta and other parts of the American South. Ethnomusicologists and folklorists from Alan Lomax to Samuel Charters and others have conjectured that Africans sold as slaves brought their music with them to these shores. There is little doubt that the skin-faced lutes and harp-lutes that are common to many of the peoples of North and West Africa—the xalam, ngoni, konting, sintir—provided the prototype for the American banjo. And listening to the ostinato figures played on the kora or ngoni by griots to accompany praise songs and recitations of oral history, one is reminded of the guitar-picking of country bluesmen from the Piedmont, as well as the Delta finger-picking style of artists such as Mississippi John Hurt. Of course, the songs are very different, the one extolling the virtues of kings and heroes, the other lamenting the lot of impoverished people. Nevertheless, some African music exhibits an undeniable kinship with the African American music we call the blues.Perhaps then it should come as no surprise that Africans, listening to recordings and radio broadcasts of American and European blues and rock for nearly half a century, should come up with their own versions. From the 1970s to the 1990s, American artists like Taj Mahal, Ry Cooder, and Béla Fleck have actively promoted such West Africans as Alhaji Bai Konte (Gambia), Toumani Diabaté (Mali), Ali Farka Touré (Mali), and Basseko Kouyate (Niger) through tours and recordings. The person most often touted as the grandfather of African blues is Ali Farka Touré, whose electric guitar riffs and vocals were much influenced by Mississippi Delta bluesman John Lee Hooker. Touré's son Vieux Farka Touré and other younger Malian musicians have continued this trend.In recent years, the biggest boost to the so-called "desert blues" has come from the northern reaches of Mali and Niger, from the Tuareg or Tamashek-speaking minorities. In the early 1980s, a style of music known as ishumar began to be heard in North Africa. The name derives from the French word chômeur, meaning "unemployed." A major drought in 1984 in northern Mali and Niger killed off much of the livestock by which the Tuareg earned their living as herders and traders. Large numbers of these semi-nomadic people migrated to towns and cities in Libya and Algeria looking for work. Groups such as Tinarawen began writing lyrics expressing the Tuareg plight. Eventually, their music became the rallying call of a rebellion. Long recognized as fierce warriors, overlooked and underrepresented by their respective governments, these people of the Sahara joined together to fight for their rights. It is no doubt because of their predicament as a marginalized people that Tuareg music comes across as so powerful and reflects so clearly the sentiments of the blues. After two long hard-fought wars, peace has finally come to their communities, and the Tuareg are hopeful of having a far greater say in local government. Artists such as Bombino represent a new generation of musicians who combine traditional rhythms with the driving force of rock. Their songs extol the virtues of peace and love and of their desert homeland, while reminding us that the fight (for their rights) is not over.

New Orleans has always had great ways to make the best out of its sweltering days. A sno-ball from Hansen's Sno-Bliz is definitely one of my favorites, a strawberry daiquiri from any number of drive-thru outlets falling shortly behind, and an ice-cold Abita root beer will always do the trick.
It's only April, but my weeklong vacation offered me my fair share of warm days (and sunburn, too!). When I was introduced to Nola's newest sunblock—homemade popsicles—at the Edible New Orleans magazine spring issue release party, all I could think of was "sweet relief!"
The Ponchatoula strawberry-basil and pineapple-cilantro flavors I sampled on Monday evening made by Michelle Weaver of Meltdown Popsicles were just delicious! They've also been known to make Nectarine Ginger, Chocolate Mint Milano, Vietnamese Coffee, Pineapple with Chili Powder, and equally interesting others.
Unfortunately Meltdown Popsicles doesn't have a website at this point, just a Facebook page. But you can get one in person at 508 Dumaine Street, just off Decatur, in the French Quarter. They are open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Needle moving action has been spotted in Crowd Mobile Ltd (CM8.AX) as shares are moving today on volatility -2.78% or -0.005 from the open. The ASX listed company saw a recent bid of 0.175 and 641573 shares have traded hands in the session.
Traders often key in on technical support and resistance levels when undertaking stock analysis. These levels can play an important role on a day to day basis. Many traders and investors will carefully monitor different support and resistance levels in order to gauge stock price movement. Investors may also be tracking stock price momentum. Sometimes investors may be hesitant to jump into the market after it has consistently kept heading higher over a sustained period of time. However, there may also be ample evidence that the market may just keep going higher. Markets that make new highs may have the ability to make even higher highs, thus leading to further gains. Often times, investors may be looking at technical indicators to help define trend conditions. Generally speaking, strong momentum is typically spotted near the beginning of a trend. On the flip side, momentum tends to be weaker as the trend is ending and possibly about to reverse direction.
Deep diving into the technical levels for Crowd Mobile Ltd (CM8.AX), we note that the equity currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -276.96. Active investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend. On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.
Crowd Mobile Ltd's Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -62.50. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would point to an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would signal an oversold situation. The Williams %R was developed by Larry Williams. This is a momentum indicator that is the inverse of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator.
Currently, the 14-day ADX for Crowd Mobile Ltd (CM8.AX) is sitting at 56.20. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.
The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a widely used technical momentum indicator that compares price movement over time. The RSI was created by J. Welles Wilder who was striving to measure whether or not a stock was overbought or oversold. The RSI may be useful for spotting abnormal price activity and volatility. The RSI oscillates on a scale from 0 to 100. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 30 to 70. A reading over 70 would indicate that the stock is overbought, and possibly overvalued. A reading under 30 may indicate that the stock is oversold, and possibly undervalued. After a recent check, the 14-day RSIfor Crowd Mobile Ltd (CM8.AX) is currently at 44.45, the 7-day stands at 32.51, and the 3-day is sitting at 15.46.
Active investors are typically interested in the factors that drive stock price movements. Buying an individual stock means that you own a piece of the company. The hope is that the company does very well and becomes highly profitable. A profitable company may decide to do various things with the profits. They may reinvest profits back into the business, or they may choose to pay shareholders dividends from those earnings. Sometimes stocks may eventually become undervalued or overvalued. Spotting these trends may lead to further examination or the underlying fundamentals of the company. A company that continues to disappoint on the earnings front may have some issues that need to be addressed. It is highly important to make sure all the research is done on a stock, especially if the investor is heavily weighted on the name. Sometimes earnings reports may be good, but the stock price does not reflect that. Having a good understanding of the entire picture may help investors better travel the winding stock market road.

On 20 June 2013, the IASB ('the Board') published a revised exposure draft (ED) on the accounting for insurance contracts reflecting its response to the comments received on the 2010 ED ('previous ED'). The comprehensive proposals will fundamentally change the accounting by insurers and other entities that issue insurance contracts. The Board has attempted to address the concerns of constituents regarding the perceived 'artificial' volatility caused by the proposals in the previous ED, but these changes add complexity. The proposed standard will replace IFRS 4, which currently permits a wide variety of accounting practices for insurance contracts.
This practical guide summarizes the key proposals and their implications. Appendix 1 compares these proposals with the previous ED. Appendix 2 compares the proposals with the FASB ED that was issued on 27 June 2013. Appendix 4 provides a high-level comparison of the revised ED with Solvency II. The questions in the IASB ED target five key areas that have significantly changed since the previous ED as set out below:
It is important for insurers and other entities issuing insurance contracts to assess how all the requirements in the measurement model fit together.

In Kasem's honor, counting down baseball's best songs
Casey Kasem passed away Sunday at the age of 82, and millions of radio listeners are mourning the loss of one of the great DJs of all time and the voice of the "American Top 40" countdown … not to mention Shaggy of "Scooby-Doo" fame.
Kasem helped create the playlists for many of our lives, young and old, and his unmistakable voice was playing in the background through pivotal moments. He told all of us to keep our feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars -- great advice. What isn't so well-known about this media icon is that he wanted to play baseball in high school before the radio bug took over.
So in honor of Kasem, here's one man's MLB.com countdown of the Top 10 baseball-related songs of all time:
10. "Harvey Haddix" by The Baseball Project: No. 10, with a bullet, the side project of veteran rockers Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows, Minus 5, R.E.M.), Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate) and Linda Pitmon (Golden Smog) has three albums all about baseball, so it's tough to pick. This track resonates by lamenting the former Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher's infamous lost perfect game while masterfully managing to crowbar the names of every pitcher who has thrown a perfecto in Major League history into the song. And yes, that has now been updated to include Mark Buehrle, Dallas Braden, Roy Halladay, Philip Humber, Matt Cain and Felix Hernandez, all of whom turned the trick after the song was initially recorded.
9. "Your Love" by The Outfield: This rocking staple of Best of the '80s compilations has nothing to do with baseball other than the fact that the band is called The Outfield and the album the song appeared on is called "Play Deep." But for some reason, it seems like it is about baseball. Also, the London-based band started out with the name, "The Baseball Boys." That's impressive in the land of cricket.
8. "Centerfield" by John Fogerty: It's been played at every stadium, maybe every night, since its release on the album of the same name in 1985. The man who brought us Creedence Clearwater Revival scores even more points for the Louisville Slugger bat/guitar he plays this number on when he performs it live.
7. "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen: Sure, it's overplayed, and sure, the video for the song shows that The Boss is a lot better at writing songs and singing than pitching, but it's got a great opening riff and a message we can all relate to. The "speed ball" line still can make a baseball fan cringe, though. Would it have killed him to write "fastball" or even "heater?"
6. "Talkin' Softball" by Terry Cashman: Cashman broke into the baseball-song-writing game with the ubiquitous "Talkin' Baseball," featuring Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Duke Snider. However, his self-parody version for the 1992 "Homer at the Bat" episode of "The Simpsons" is more of a classic because of its brilliant mention of every nuclear power plant-related malady that struck the Major League All-Star "ringers" on the company softball team. Best line: "Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile/While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the barroom tile."
5. "My Oh My" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis: One of the only hip-hop anthems to the Grand Old Game is a very touching, personal elegy for legendary Mariners broadcaster Dave Niehaus by Seattle's rap sensation. Macklemore performed it at Safeco Field after Niehaus' death in 2010 and there were many teary eyes in the crowd.
4. "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meat Loaf: A song all about coming of age and the angst that goes along with it veers into baseball-as-metaphor territory in classic fashion, with the adolescent meanderings of a boy and a girl set to the soothing tones of a Phil Rizzuto play-by-play.
3. "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" by Steve Goodman: The song, written by the late genius who gave Arlo Guthrie "City of New Orleans," reads just like the title, and it's a brilliant ode to a fan base alone in its struggle of 100 years without a World Series title. "Build a big fire on home plate out of your Louisville Slugger baseball bats/And toss my coffin in/Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow/From the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind/When my last remains go flying over the left-field wall/We'll bid the bleacher bums adieu/And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue." Sadly, Goodman died of leukemia in 1984 at the age of 36.
2. "Night Game" by Paul Simon: This deep-track gem on the 1975 classic album "Still Crazy After All These Years" is a tragic story of the death of a pitcher during a tied game but still has that classic Simon quirkiness and evocative imagery to it. "And they laid his spikes/On the pitcher's mound/And his uniform was torn/And his number was left on the ground."
And finally …
1. "Catfish" by Bob Dylan: Written in 1975 but released on a bootleg compilation in 1991, this is a perfect tale of a unique baseball man - Jim "Catfish" Hunter - told in typical Dylan style and co-written by Jacques Levy. Highlight lyrics: "Come up where the Yankees are/Dress up in a pinstripe suit/Smoke a custom-made cigar/Wear an alligator boot" and "Catfish, million-dollar-man/Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can." Dylan also was prescient, correctly predicting that Hunter would make the Hall of Fame.
RIP, Casey Kasem. You will be missed.

A large number of Humboldt County property owners are not happy about receiving a notice from the state regarding a $150 fire prevention fee. A crowd of approximately 150 people gathered last week at the Van Duzen Grange in Carlotta to get more information.
Incoming Humboldt County 2nd District Supervisor Estelle Fennell helped organize the meeting, and was pleased to see such a large turnout. "I have received a lot of calls about this, since the notices were sent out," she said. "This is something we are really, really concerned about."
"Pay the bill, and then file a protest," said Chuck Ciancio, a landowner and semi-retired forester. "If you don't pay the bill in a timely manner, the state will impose late penalty fees," he added. The late penalty is 20 percent plus interest, and then is compounded monthly. The amount needs to be paid within 30 days of the date on the bill, not the date the notice is received in the mail.
There is also an option of making payments, where the landowner can make an initial payment of whatever they can afford and include a note outlining how much will be paid each month.
"Keep a paper trail," Ciancio said. "Keep a copy of everything."
"This is a tax, without the approval of a vote of the people," said Humboldt Taxpayers League Executive Director Cliff Chapman. He and Humboldt County First District Supervisor Rex Bohn told those in attendance that a lawsuit against the fee is being contemplated.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association plans to challenge the constitutionality of the tax in court, but has not yet filed a lawsuit. Property owners in attendance complained about the state. A website (www.firetaxprotest.org) has been set up for concerned landowners who would like to protest the fee.
The website recommends that landowners pay the bill, write the words "under protest" on the notation line of the check, and then file a petition for redetermination. The website recommends landowners make a copy of the check and enclose it with the petition for redetermination, and send it to Fire Prevention Petitions in Suisun City, and the Board of Equalization and Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, both in Sacramento.
Carlotta resident Tim Strahan was one of those attending the gathering at the Grange and he said, "Politicians are taking a tax and calling it a fee ... it's just politicians wasting our money." Lifelong Humboldt County resident Tim Wilson attended the gathering to "see what I can do about protesting the tax."
The audience was also asked to not let their unhappiness with the State Fire Prevention Fee to affect their support of local volunteer fire departments. Supervisor Bohn said "The biggest thing is, don't stop supporting your local volunteer fire department ... it's not their fault."
Fortuna Fire Protection District Chief Lon Winburn said anyone needing help filling out the paperwork or having questions about the state fee can call the fire department for assistance at 707-725-5021. He added, "While the concept of fire prevention is one we should be aware of and support, this fee will only manage to have an extremely negative effect on the local fire agencies that provide primary response to their communities emergencies if they, due to this tax, lose the support of those residents."

Las Vegas Sands Falls Short On Singapore; Focus On Macau Strength, Analysts Say
Las Vegas Sands (LVS) reported fourth-quarter earnings that fall short of expectations. Revenue rose 19% to $3.66 billion, below the expected $3.71 billion; earnings per share came in at 72 cents per share, lower than the projected 84 cents.
Shares of Las Vegas Sands were down 2.3% pre-market.
Investors should look past the weak earnings in Singapore and focus on Las Vegas Sands's strength in Macau and buy on recent share pull-backs, analysts from J.P. Morgan to Stifel Research urge us.
Here are J.P. Morgan analysts Joseph Greff, Brian Mullan, and Jonathan Mohraz:
LVS's 4Q13 results in Macau were solid—adjusting for lower than normal hold, property level EBITDA would have exceeded our estimate by 2.5%— while its Singapore operations fell short on a like hold adjusted basis on lower margins (EBITDA variance of ~3%).
Overall, results in Macau reflect (1) LVS's ability to use its sizable hotel room base and more effective target marketing to generate above market-wide growth in the mass segment and (2) a continued ramp at Sands Cotai Central—trends that we expect to continue.
We reaffirm our Overweight rating and $89 year-end 2014 price target . We view the recent ~10% pullback in LVS (on China macro concerns) as attractive as we do the current valuation (6%+ free cash flow yield and P/E of sub 20x, implying a PEG below 1.0x).
Investors are worried Las Vegas Sands are already priced for perfection, having risen 43% in the last year. While the pullback sentiment is understandable, Stifle Research analysts Steven Wieczynski and Brad Boyer said Las Vegas Sands is cheap compared to Wynn (WYNN):
Despite the recent appreciation, shares continue to appear attractively valued to us, trading at 11.4x revised CY15E EBITDA of $5.87B, a 1.5-turn discount to WYNN and an over 3-turn discount to the Hong Kong-listed gaming operator average of 14.8x.
Sterne Agee analyst David Bain even raised his price target from $84 to $88, saying:
4Q13 Macau hold-adjusted EBITDA totaled ~$888m versus our ~$857m expectation. Mass tables and VIP rolling volume was +58% YoY/+26% YoY versus our market checks of +40%/+23%. While margins at certain properties were slightly below our forecast, mostly due to higher than expected VIP commissions, a larger contribution from mass (higher segment growth creating mix shift) continues to point to a longer-term higher margin profile. LVS' Parisian, which we believe goes widely unnoticed by investors, remains on track for a late 2015 opening (or thereabouts, in our view) and the ramp at Cotai Central continues – hitting a $1b+ hold adjusted EBITDA run-rate versus $500m in 1Q13.

In an extensive survey of University of Colorado Boulder seniors in 2012, an overwhelming majority of the nearly 3,000 respondents expressed positive views of their educational experiences at CU-Boulder.
About four in five respondents reported satisfaction with their CU-Boulder education. A similar proportion would recommend CU-Boulder to a friend and nearly 98 percent of the seniors reported that their program of study met their educational goals.
The 2012 study is the latest edition of the senior survey, conducted 11 times since 1985 by CU-Boulder's Office of Planning, Budget and Analysis, or PBA.
"The survey data clearly demonstrate that these students, from their perspective as seniors, judge the university in overwhelmingly positive terms," said Michael Grant, CU-Boulder associate vice chancellor for undergraduate education. "CU-Boulder routinely invests a lot of time and energy in polling our senior students about their experiences, academic and otherwise, in order to continuously work toward improving those experiences."
The online questionnaire was sent to 7,646 degree-seeking seniors and was completed by 2,890, or 38 percent, of the recipients. Comprising about 200 scaled items, plus four open-ended questions, the survey collected a massive amount of information including nearly 7,900 written comments.
The 2012 seniors' ratings of CU-Boulder advising services were higher than those from any previous senior survey. The seniors' satisfaction with numerous other CU-Boulder services, from libraries to information technology, was high and generally comparable to that of earlier cohorts.
"We use the survey results extensively to look at what's popular and working well, to set goals to improve services, and even to pass along advice," said Jim Davis Rosenthal, CU-Boulder director of orientation and director of the Office of Student Affairs Assessment. "Based on one of the survey questions, we are able to let incoming freshmen know what outgoing seniors wished they had gotten involved in. Other departments also use the results to encourage students to try opportunities they might not otherwise have considered. In a way, it's like older siblings giving advice to their younger siblings."
Large proportions of seniors said that if they were to start over at CU-Boulder, they would put more effort toward or spend more time on interacting with faculty (60 percent), career exploration (51 percent), and campus-related research projects, internships and applied experiences (45 percent).
Nearly two-thirds of seniors who expected to graduate by summer 2012 reported that their principal activity in fall 2012 was most likely to be paid employment, either full time (48 percent) or part time (15 percent). A combined 15 percent said they were most likely to be enrolled in graduate studies, professional school or other coursework. A combined 13 percent expected to go into military service, or pursue volunteer service, an internship, student teaching or travel.
The thousands of student comments included praise for various aspects of their major programs, suggestions for ways to enhance and improve major programs, and descriptions of ways in which their major program did or did not meet their educational goals.
One student wrote, "I feel that I am prepared to be an exceptional teacher after I graduate. The school had a lot to do with my preparedness." Another wrote, "Excellent material, mostly great professors, and fantastic facilities all add up to a well-rounded education."
The survey collects information on seniors' satisfaction with their educational experiences at CU-Boulder and about their post-graduation plans. The survey's findings are used primarily to provide systematic information for academic and service units to use in planning and improvement, and for use by prospective and current students, their advisers, and their families.
Preliminary results for the Seniors' Future Plans Survey, which is separate from the comprehensive senior survey and which has been conducted each year since 2009, show a jump in full-time employment expectations. The initial data show that 54 percent of CU-Boulder seniors in 2013 expect full-time employment to be their principal activity after graduation, an increase from 48 percent in 2012. Expectations for part-time employment were reported by 15 percent of the 2013 seniors.
The 2012 questionnaire and comprehensive data from the senior survey, including summary reports from students in each of CU-Boulder's schools and colleges and nearly 50 departments, are available at http://www.colorado.edu/pba/surveys/senior/12/index.htm.

NEWSAGENTS are being urged to take extra care after a business owner was followed by thieves who snatched stock from his car.
Blackburn shopkeeper Tim McNamee had £750 worth of cigarettes stolen from the boot of his BMW when he stopped for petrol after visiting a cash and carry.
He said he believes the men watched him load up the car at Bestways Cash and Carry, in Lower Darwen, before persuing him. Mr McNamee, who runs a newsagents and off license in Holly Tree Village, said soon after he went into the shop at the Tottenham Road filling station to pay, the thieves pulled up in a silver Vauxhall Vectra, opened his boot and then made off with the cigarettes.
The shopkeeper said: "I went to the cash and carry in my car and I threw the cigarettes in the boot.
"I did not think somebody would be following me. But as I walked into the shop to pay, the thieves grabbed the cigarettes and went.
"I had not locked the car. I never gave it a thought because I was only away a few seconds.
"Other shopkeepers have also been targeted and it puts us under more strain."
CCTV from the attack on Mr McNamee's car has been passed to the police and an investigation is underway. Mr McNamee said people buying cigarettes from cash and carries were becoming easy targets because they had to take them away in black bags rather than in plain boxes.
It meant thieves could easily tell they had bought expensive products.
He said he had heard of other newsagents across the North West also being targeted by thieves in a similar way.
Suleman Khonat, a Blackburn shopkeeper and vice president of the National Federation of Retail Newsagents, said that business owners should try to change their routines to avoid becoming victims.
He said: "It does not matter how much you do, people know you are a retailer.
"They watch you and they know your pattern.
"What people need to do is get cigarettes delivered to the shop or change their pattern.
"It is easier said than done, but if you can change your route too, it is safer."

I have whittled my collection down to 8 firearms.
Four are strictly persona/home security and four are pure hunting arms.
I have plenty of ammunition for every firearm I own but a couple of years
ago stopping going shooting every week and just go every 2 or 3 weeks.
I have found new hobbies in my retirement that are taking time to learn
but time is something I have plenty of.
Who Dares Wins!

Niches for my handguns include such things as:
(1) a mouse sized semi-auto that I can shoot reasonably well at moderate distances (25 yards and in). I have a Sig P238 for that.
(2) for when I'm wearing cotton shorts with a drawstring and elastic waistband, I need a mouse gun that is light, even if my effective range is 10 yards or less. I have a Ruger LCP for that.
(3) a more powerful handgun that I can fit in most, but not all, of my pants pockets. My Kahr CM9 covers this.
(4) a "lightweight" 1911 that is very concealable in .45 acp. I have a DW CCO for that.
(5) for practice and backup to the CCO, above, a steel framed 1911 of the same size. That's my Baer Stinger.
(6) a full sized 1911, steel frame, in .45 acp for OWB carry and/or home defense. I have at least one for that role.
(7) a full sized 1911, steel frame, in 9mm cause it's cheaper to shoot 9mm than .45 acp.
(8) a full sized 1911, steel frame, in 10mm just in case a black bear wanders into my city of about 300,000 (don't have to worry about grizzlies)
Well, you get the point. If I want a gun, I can find a niche for it. Having said that, I have contemplated getting rid of a couple of handguns I don't shoot and/or duplicate other guns.

I'm not greedy......
Back when my (now) wife and I were going out, one time she asked me just how many guns I wanted. At the time I had 4 rifles, 2 shotguns and one handgun...
I told her, with complete honesty (at the time) that "I'm not greedy, I'll settle for one of each..."
She may not have understood that I meant make, model, caliber, barrel length, etc, but over the past 37 years she has learned....
And, to be perfectly honest today, not only am I a long way from "one of each" but I have identical multiples of certain favorites, as well as groups of identical models in different calibers.
Yes, I'm in the over 75 club, and not made of money, or even close. Just blessed with an understanding wife with low desire for typical feminine material goods.
I have sold a few, from time to time over the years, as excess to desire (forgot NEED, I had need covered before I graduated highschool), but that usually means I get something else. Last gun show I took a gun to, to sell or trade, I did just that. Left one rifle, came home with a different rifle and two pistols.
These days, I don't buy as much as I used to, mostly because of the outrageous prices today, and because of the things I am interested in getting are rare. Nearly every gun or caliber I was ever interested in I have, or have had at least one example to check out. And I am not very interested in much that is new these days.
Several people have posted their wish lists, and reading them, I find a lot of things that I have, or have had.
I'm also currently set up to reload for 32 rifle and 11 handgun centerfire cartridges (having multiple guns in some calibers) as well as a bunch of .22RFs and some shotguns.
I don't have a single safe queen, meaning a gun I never intend to shoot, but I do have a dozen plus (currently) that I fully intend to shoot, just haven't gotten arount to it, yet....and I have quite a few that I haven't shot in some years, but I will shoot them again, someday....
My 14th birthday present was a Winchester .22. I'm within a handful of mandatory retirement age, and I still have my first deer rifle and my first shotgun. I inherited some of my Dad's collection when he passed on, and others from other family members...
In time, others will benefit from my collection, my Grandfather's shotgun will go to a grandchild when the time is right. Some of my Dad's guns will go to my kids or their kids, when the time is right, etc.
I realized that maybe the time ought to be coming up for some of them, sooner than later when I talked to my son the other day, and he told me about the deal he got on a Ruger Super Blackhawk...if I had known he was looking for one, I would have given him the one I've got kicking around here somewhere.....I almost felt greedy.....
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better.

Fortunately, my wife and I have come to an understanding over the last 25 years. Need has little to do with firearms. Guns are to men what jewelry is to women. As long as she gets a shiny bobble from time to time, she accepts the fact that a new gun of some kind might find a new home with me, too.
In reality, when I find I haven't shot a gun for more than a couple of years, it is usually time I found a new home for it and something else more interesting to take its place in the safe.

I voted 10 or less, but sometimes I get bored with a gun and dont use it for a few years. Then re discover it and dust it off and use it again. Ocasionaly I get a hankering for a firearm and go buy one, like right now I want a Winchester Model 70 Alaskan.. But things keep coming up and I put it off.

You know that you might have enough when you need to rent a box truck just to move your accumulation from one place to another. But then, what about that new gun you read about here?

I dont have a specific number but am sure it would surpass 75. The way I see it there are things I could be spending my money on that would give me far less enjoyment. I love my hobby. I share it with my wife and kids. They love it too. I am blessed that I have the disposable income to allow this fairly expensive hobby. Also if furtunes ever changed I have a significant amount of easily liquidated assets to help in that circumstance.
Half the country hates my business, the other half my hobby.

Like anything else, priorities in life are the first factor in such a decision. Would I rather have another firearm, or would I rather have ___?
I really don't see myself owning more than 75, or probably even 50, even though there are so many out there that I would "like to have". Since they hold their value better than other things like electronics, shoes, dresses, etc. (these are just examples--I'm not REALLY poking my wife in the eye) it really doesn't make sense to get rid of any just for the sake of doing so... but at the same time, maintaining a big inventory takes time and effort, and everybody knows a 48 gun safe really doesn't hold 48 long guns, so storage is also at a premium. I have rifles I haven't fired in several years, but will certainly gravitate back to someday (after this current deployment is over!), and I have others with sentimental value that haven't been fired in longer than that that i'll NEVER part with.
I currently have just over 30, and when I fill the most glaring gaps in my collection i'll probably be okay at about 40. When I get older and shooting less frequently I probably will start gifting some of the less sentimental ones, and saving the special ones up until the very end.
hopefully that day is about 50 years down the road...

Sometimes I buy a new gun in a chambering that I'm not currently reloading. So I buy dies and brass at the same time as the gun. I bring the gun home and take it all apart. Check the design out from end to end. Dry fire it if appropriate. Lubricate. Usually leave it sitting "out" in the living room for a few weeks so that I can pick it up over and over. Getting the muscle memory in tune with the new hardware. Then I put everything away.... until I get to shoot it. But, like you, somehow I have some that I've never gotten around to shooting. Some that I actually do have bullets for but several because I never gotten around to reloading for them. Yet. It's going to happen!
Sometimes it's like standing in a fast moving river and trying to catch fish barehanded as they swim by. They just keep flowing by!

How Many Firearms Are Enough For You Personally?
Between 100 and 500 should be enough.

No idea, when I get there, I'll know.
My father and uncle have thier safes overflowing with firearms.........and half the time can't even remember what they have, when they shot them last, or if they even have any loaded ammo for them. I don't need/want that many. My current assortment lets me do everything I want, I don't need so many I don't even know what I have.
Honestly, there are a handful of firearms on my wish list...........but I would really just like to be able to use the ones I have more often.
The answer to 1984 is 1776

I'm with Cranky on this. I have no idea as I live by a simple rule when it comes to firearms and cars.
If I like it, can afford it and want it, I own it. Simple as that.
Having put in my time at the smithing bench, even when I manage to wind up with a dog, I can normally beat it back into some working shape.

My answer was 11-20, in order to be satisfied. Six of them are Enfield #4s/#5s. Two are FR8s.
Right now thirteen is enough, but will be satisfied -as far as guns go- with a second Garand.
The primary objective, even though I have heaps of it, is to gradually buy more ammo. Why?
The main reason is to have even more for when I retire in a few years (less income), and also in case my grown son gets bitten by the gun bug.
A secondary concern is that our govt. one day Could be pressured (via foreign policy 'deals') to allow the UN Small Arms Treaty to dictate to us that we should not be able to buy imported ammo (or guns).
Right now the CMP might never acquire any more substantial shipments of M2 Ball from military sources, along with Garands which were US loans to foreign governments. Much mo' money in a few years.
Don't forget that the UN and some Brit/Euro 'arms control' groups pay numerous countries to destroy both surplus guns and ammo.
In a few years, other than MNs, imagine how many heaps of both AKs etc And obsolete, bolt-action military rifles will have been destroyed?

Probably 30 or less. I've already gotten to the point that there are more safe queens than I would like. Several that haven't been shot in years. Actually I may start cutting back, but in practice thus far, I've sold only 2.

I am the weapon; my gun is a tool. It's regrettable that with some people those descriptors are reversed.

|This is a wide flow perhaps with 40-50 feet of climbing with a couple trees set back about 85 feet from the base of the main climbing. Pass the lower falls (sometimes dry) on the W side on a trail. Perhaps 400 vertical feet up the drainage. Not visible from the road. There is a short 10 foot step of WI2 to get to the main flow which can be bypassed on the left. The main flow is wide enough to accomodate multiple symbiotic parties. WI2-3 lines. Never vertical. Long slings (approx 48") are useful to sling the big tree. Walk off right. Beware crossing the ice above the 10 foot step without crampons. This area is wind sheltered. Nice place for a first lead. No road noise here. Anyone know if there are other similar ice gullies downsteam above the bits of blue abutting the river?

|Was up there this morning. The lowest section (WI 1-2) is melted-out. The middle and the upper are in nice shape. The middle falls are short (maybe 15') of steep (not vertical) WI 2. The upper falls are WI 2-3, depending on the line. The right hand side of the upper falls offered some nice mixed climbing past a shallow cave. A few of the lines have some short vertical sections, but the vertical sections are rarely longer than maybe 12-15 feet.

|This is in big 'n' easy as of 3/1/03. Short step maybe 10 feet of steep ice, rest is grade 1 rollers. The lower area [isn't] in at all.

|Pretty fat - maybe the biggest I've seen in a few years. Full curtain varies (small void in middle) from WI2-3. Great after-work romp. Catch it quickly though, weather forecast for this week is springlike, so it may turn to slush.

|Hiked up to the upper on my way up the canyon this morning (11/4) to see if it was forming at all after the recent big storm. As to be expected, no ice yet. There must have been some hellatious wind though, there are several downed trees full of green needles. A hand saw may prove useful.

Braun back in action; Segura sidelined with thigh bruise
CHICAGO -- Shortstop Jean Segura remained sidelined with a deep left thigh bruise, but the Brewers received a much-needed boost Monday when left fielder Ryan Braun returned to the starting lineup after missing three games with a stiff neck.
He contributed three hits, a run scored and an RBI to the Brewers' 7-4 win over the Cubs.
As the Brewers took the field for batting practice, Braun, who had received treatment all morning, was still unsure of his availability. He took batting practice for the first time since his neck locked up during his second round of swings on Friday.
"I guess it took a little while to make sure," Braun said. "Obviously, I'm a little tentative and it's not 100 percent better, so I wanted to make sure I could get through multiple swings and throwing, fielding, all the things I needed to do to get in there and play."
Segura, though, was missing. He was injured in the third inning of Friday's loss to the D-backs when Gerardo Parra slid into second base to break up a double play and jammed his left knee into Segura's left thigh.
It was clear Monday that Segura was still in serious pain when he limped onto the field during introductions before the Cubs' home opener.
"Still sore," he said. "Hopefully it will be better [Tuesday]."
Segura was off to a terrific start, going 9-for-20 in his first six games. Luckily, the Brewers are stocked with three other shortstops: Alex Gonzalez, who started there Monday, Yuniesky Betancourt, who manned third for the injured Aramis Ramirez, and Josh Prince, who began his professional career at short but has since switched to a super-utility role.

LAKE CITY, Fla. - Friends and family remember a Lake City store owner killed during an armed robbery.
Rajini Patel, 55, who owns A&M Discount Beverage on East Duval Street, was shot and killed on Friday afternoon.
Witnesses said there were two robbers. A young black man, about 5 feet 7 inches tall weighing about 180 pounds with short hair and wearing a gray T-shirt and jeans entered the store about 1:30 p.m., took money and left the store in a vehicle, police said.
A surveillance camera captured this photo of the man Lake City police say shot and killed a store owner during the robbery of a convenience store.
Police said Patel's wife Daxa was also shot but not injured.
On Saturday, there were flowers and cars sitting at the Patel's door. There were more flowers at the store.
The couple's son was seen cleaning the store and filling out paperwork there.
"I don't understand what these guys thought they were proving. I really don't. I mean, what'd they get out of it? A couple hundred dollars," said Jenny Morris, who lives next door to the Patel family.
"It's just a shame that stuff like this has got to happen," Morris added. "You never dreamed that it would happen right here in your neighborhood. I mean, look at the store. It's what a little over 100 feet from my house."
"I couldn't believe it, really," said Raymond Newtown, a customer.
If you have any information about the men sought in the killing, call Lake City police at 386-719-2068.

In the old city cemetery there were gravestones on the graves of the Krynki great men, among them Rabbi Reb Yosef Reb Yosele the Righteous and Reb Chaim Tsvi, a Slonimer Hasid who decided on rabbinical law and who was also a miracle worker. The writing on the gravestone says a lot about the changes in the community and the world.
As known, there existed in Krynki before the First World War a great yeshiva Anaf Eitz Chaim [The Branch of the Tree of Life] where there were many students from the entire region.
But later a new yeshiva existed in Krynki for young men, 'Beit Yosef' a branch of the Navaredok [Novogrudek] muser [morals and ethics] yeshiva that was founded by Reb Yosef Yusel Hurvits. The yeshiva was in 'Chai-Odem' on Garbarska Street.
There, in the synagogue, writes Abraham Soifer, sat fifty youngsters who studied diligently the beautiful pages of gemore [part of the Talmud]. The songs, coming from deep in their hearts, never frightened Christians passing by.
Young men with ear locks wound around their ears would eat with dozens of Krynki families. It was considered a great and good yeshiva. The head trustee, Reb Naftali was mainly busy with recruiting yeshiva students from the entire area. But dialects from a lot Galitzianer and Polish youngster were also heard. They came to study in the Krynki yeshiva because it was considered one of the best and also graduated several rabbis.
In the Krynki streets, finishes Henoch Suraski, the voice of Torah was heard, G-d's living words by Jews whose lives were intertwined and thoroughly imbued with divine service, prayer and good deeds. 'It used to be '
[p. 163]
David Mishkovski: Rabbi Reb Khizkiyahu Yosef Mishkovski
After the First World War and until the outbreak of the second, the prominent Reb Khizkihau Yosef Mishkovski sat in the rabbi's chair in Krynki. He was the last rabbi in the shtetl. He was a great Torah scholar, a dedicated social worker and a lover of Israel, heart and soul. He was born in 1885 in Stavisk, Lomza District, to a religious rabbinical family.
He studied in a number of yeshivas such as Maltch, Radun and Navaredok and was already described as a genius while he was studying. In 1904 at the age of twenty, he immigrated with his father-in-law to Israel and settled in Jerusalem where he studied at the Ets Chaim yeshiva. He published his father-in-law's book Pri Yitzhak [Fruit of Yitzhak] as well as his own work.
Reb Khizkiyahu also took part in community work in Jerusalem and was a member of the first Vaad-ha'ir leYehudi Yerushalayim (community council).
In 1914 he returned to Poland where he was invited to be the rabbi in Zsheludok. In 1922 he became the rabbi in Krinik (after Reb Zelman Sender who left during the First World War and later went to Israel, and after Rabbi Weintraub who was the rabbi in Krinik a short time during the German occupation. Because of a betrayal he had to leave the shtetl).
After the First World War Krinik experienced a difficult economic situation. Rabbi Mishkovski was committed to helping the many needy and expended a lot of effort on the Jewish community institutions especially in the field of religious education. He founded the Heder HaKlali [the Public grade school for boys] from what used to be the Talmud Torah [free grade school for poor boys] and it became a model of a well-organized school for Jews and also secular education.
Rabbi Mishkovski was also busy caring for Linat HaZedek [a society whose volunteers stayed overnight with patients so their families could get some rest, provided doctors and medicine for the poor] and gemiles khesed [loans without interest]. (He initiated the founding of such funds with the help of the Joint [Joint Distribution Committee of the USA, charity to help poor European Jews] in all the large cities of Poland). He was also active in the orphanage, in the Women's Committee and wherever help was needed.
The activities of Rabbi Mishkovski surpassed by far the limits of Krynki. When the prohibition against Jewish ritual slaughter started in Poland, Rabbi Mishkovski then vice-president of the Agudas HaRabonim [Federation of Rabbis] in the country he stood at the head of the struggle against the evil decree.
With the outbreak of the World War in 1939, he traveled to Vilna where he was invited to be the chairman of the Union of Refugee Rabbis from Poland and with the initiative of the Joint developed a broad relief and rescue operation that also crossed over the border. In the spring of 1941 he went to Israel where he was invited to become the director of the Vaad HaYeshivas [the Council of the yeshivas] in the country.
[p. 164]
for Tailors/Seamsters and its teachers and its students
But basically he gave himself body and soul to saving Jewish refugees and especially those wandering far from home deep in Russia.
He searched for addresses, especially of Krinkers, and moved heaven and earth to contact them so that they would send packages to save the unfortunate refugees from hunger and cold and to give them courage during this perilous time.
Selected as a member of the Israeli Relief Committee by the Jewish Agency, Rabbi Mishkovski left for Europe (in poor health) to help save the surviving Jewish souls, especially Jewish children who had been hidden in monasteries and to bring them to Israel. He was a fervent leader of the Relief Committee in Europe and in the United States.
He returned to Israel on the eve of the Jewish New Year in 1947, a man broken by the great sorrow for our murdered people. But his weak heart could go on no longer. The day following Rosh Hashanah he died. Over ten thousand people attended his funeral and he was laid to rest in Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives.

DUDLEY Sports boss Tony Gore has set his players the challenge of making sure they don't get dragged into a relegation battle.
His side now travel to Bilston tonight (7.45pm ko) and take on Wednesbury away on Saturday (7.45pm ko). Gore thinks the games will give his squad a much-needed opportunity to get some points on the board to keep them away from the drop zone.
He also said his players were ready for action after last Saturday's game at Bewdley was called off, giving them a much-needed break after facing four matches in quick succession.
"We now have two tough away games, but I really want us to start picking up a few points. We need to make sure we don't get dragged into a relegation battle," said Gore.
"The teams below us have had a few good results recently and it means we need to respond to that."
He also said he was confident that his players have the ability to win more games.
"We have had some great results against the top teams this season," he added. "We have beaten Sporting Khalsa, Black Country Rangers and drawn with Lye. We clearly have the ability but just need to add consistency to that. Hopefully that can start with the next run of games."
Gore added that he would look at rotating his small squad or bringing in some new faces to help his players cope with the forthcoming fixture congestion.

I play two holes where a roller off the tee is about as good as I can do right now.
First one. The hole is slightly downhill and slopes left to right. Prevailing wind is also left to right. Since starting to use rollers, I've always just grabbed my A-SS and thrown it backhand. I need it to finish right, but what ends up happening is, the finish is 90 degrees right and into the wood line that forms the right edge of the hole. I'd post a pic, but whoever psted them on discasaurus messed up on that one hole.
So, can I force a less understable disc to roll and not finish so hard right? Maybe try forehand and let the left to right slope diminish the tendency of those to go left? Straight would be really great.
The other one must finish right. Left of center is dead. I have that down with the A-SS, but was just wondering if I could try something else to get more roll before the hard right finish.
Thanks for the help.

Kraus has a broad selection of ceramic and glass vessel bathroom sinks that remain unparalleled in the industry. Ceramic basins are a staple look in home decor, exuding modern sleekness while retaining a classic allure. In comparison, glass vessels epitomize the ideals of modern chic design with their delicate bowl structures and vibrant color palette. Whether you are looking to make a subtle addition or a bolder statement, Kraus carries a vast assortment of bathroom sinks to enliven any decorative vision.
Ceramic bathroom sinks have a smooth, glossy exterior that makes it aesthetically versatile. The lustrous shine of white ceramic can easily be integrated in either residential or commercial furnishings. These Kraus bathroom sinks are constructed from high quality ceramic which is made from impermeable inorganic crystalline materials that are known for their sturdiness and stylishness. The uniform, non-porous nature of manufactured ceramic prevents your bathroom sink from experiencing discoloration and staining, even after prolonged use. Ceramic material is also known to be very sanitary and clean, and will reduce the spreading of germs.
To accommodate all configurations and style preferences, Kraus offers their ceramic bathroom sinks in a variety of different sizes and shapes including round, square, and rectangular. Kraus sinks require above the counter installation and come with all the necessary hardware for mounting upon purchase. In addition, Kraus bathroom sinks also include a complementary pop-up drain that allows you to control the bowl's retention and disposal of water. If you desire the traditionalistic elements of a ceramic basin but wish to add a little more glamour, Kraus also offers finishes in chrome, satin nickel, antique brass, and oil-rubbed bronze.
For those taking a more abstract approach, Kraus glass vessels are the right accessories for helping you succeed in your artistic endeavors. All Kraus glass vessels are crafted from tempered glass that have undergone a process of rapid heating and cooling during manufacturing to ensure long lasting durability. Tempered glass is 5 to 7 times stronger than regular glass and is typically constructed to be ¼" to ¾" thick for their bathroom sinks. Furthermore, Kraus customers have the option of choosing a round, square, or rectangular shaped glass vessel in either the 14" or the 17" size to suit all countertop dimensions.
What sets Kraus glass vessels apart from other distributors is that they offer an exclusive selection of unique colors, designs, and textures. All Kraus customers have the option of choosing from either a single tone glass bowl or a multicolored glass bowl in a clear finish or a frosted finish. Their single tone bathroom sinks are intended for simple and bold decor, and come in clear, brown, or black. In contrast, their multicolored bathroom sinks exhibit a vibrant whirlwind of bold colors and patterns, reviving every bathroom with energetic vigor.
All Kraus bathroom sinks are protected by a warranty to ensure you long lasting service and quality performance. Make a splash in your home today with the addition of an exquisite Kraus bathroom sink.
