Reds rally, but drop extra-inning battle of bullpens
Cincinnati can't convert in 10th after Hamilton picks up Bailey in eighth
MIAMI -- Before you could utter the "mo" in "momentum" after back-to-back wins over the Marlins, the Reds' offense was back to being neutralized again on Saturday night.
It wasn't just Marlins starter Nathan Eovaldi shutting down the Reds. Homer Bailey often kept Miami at bay much of the night. Then both teams' bullpens did likewise.
The Marlins broke through in the bottom of the 10th to hand the Reds a 2-1 defeat on a walk-off RBI single from Christian Yelich off reliever Sam LeCure. Miami snapped its three-game losing streak, and a seven-game losing streak vs. Cincinnati that dated back to 2012.
"It was going to be one of those games," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "We got two good bullpens going after each other after two quality starts by Homer and Eovaldi, who was terrific. That's what it comes down to. It's going to be one pitch, one play, whatever it may be."
LeCure began the Miami 10th by giving up a Jeff Mathis double to left field past third baseman Todd Frazier, who was guarding the line. Pinch-hitter Reed Johnson dropped a sacrifice bunt that moved Mathis to third base.
Cincinnati was forced to play its infield and outfield in when Yelich hit a 3-1 pitch into center field to end it.
"These guys [the Reds], they've got some arms," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "So we definitely have our work cut out for us. But it's a nice win and a great game, and fortunately we were able to match the pitching and get the big hit."
The Reds had their own chance to take the lead in the top of the 10th, but didn't get it done with a runner on third and one out. Facing closer Steve Cishek, pinch-hitter Chris Heisey roped a one-out triple to the center-field wall.
Heisey was kept 90 feet from scoring as lefty reliever Mike Dunn took over and struck out Billy Hamilton and Jay Bruce to end the threat. Price contemplated going with a squeeze bunt with Hamilton, but decided to let him swing away.
"That was something we thought about, but Billy's been really good with runners in scoring position, as evidenced earlier in the game when he drove in our only run with a big base hit," Price said. "It just seemed like if he puts the ball in play -- even if he ends up at first base and the run doesn't score, he can still steal a base and be in scoring position within a pitch or two for Jay. There were a few options there, but what we needed was a base hit there -- as both teams did for most of the ballgame."
In a quality start not rewarded with a winning decision, Reds starter Homer Bailey allowed one earned run and three hits over seven innings with three walks and five strikeouts. Bailey has given up two runs over 15 innings in his last two starts.
Bailey wiggled out of a 27-pitch first inning after a two-out double by Giancarlo Stanton and a Casey McGehee walk. In the bottom of the third inning, Yelich hit a one-out double to left field. The next batter, Jordany Valdespin, lined an RBI single to left-center field to break the scoreless tie.
"I wasn't extremely sharp and I was having trouble finding the umpire's zone. But overall, we got good results," Bailey said. "It was a very long first inning. We were able to get out of a few jams the first couple of innings. After that, we kind of found our stride and were able to get some quick outs."
Eovaldi came into the night with a 4.37 ERA, but Reds hitters struggled against him as the right-hander was at times reaching 99 mph. One of the harder-hit balls, a leadoff grounder by Devin Mesoraco in the top of the second, was stopped by diving shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria. With a throw from his knees, Hechavarria got Mesoraco out at first base by a half-step.
Two batters later, Skip Schumaker hit a soft liner to center field for the first Reds hit of the night. As Eovaldi retired 16 of his next 18 hitters, the second hit didn't come until Ramon Santiago's soft liner to right field that began the top of the eighth. That would be Eovaldi's final batter before he was replaced by reliever Bryan Morris.
"He was throwing 96-99. How much off-balance do you need to keep the hitters off?" Price said of Eovaldi. "He had a nice curveball and slider and threw a small handful of changeups. He was very sharp."
A Zack Cozart sacrifice bunt moved Santiago into scoring position. With two outs and a 2-2 count, Hamilton came through with a soft single to left field off Morris that scored the tying run. But one more big hit wasn't there in the end, as Cincinnati fell to 3-7 in extra-inning games and 17-24 in one-run games to remain 5 1/2 games behind first-place Milwaukee in the National League Central.

Cheap Illinois Internet is Cheap DSL InternetCheap Internet > Illinois
DSL Internet service in Illinois is a viable and affordable alternative to cable broadband Internet and agonizingly slow dialup service. Although Illinois DSL is an older type of Internet service option that cable and satellite access, it can be more than twenty times as fast as dialup Internet service. DSL service has some distinct advantages over Illinois cable and satellite broadband Internet service that you may not be completely aware of.
Illinois DSL is always on
One of the things that early adopters of IL DSL Internet service said they liked the most about it, besides the speed it offered, is the fact that they no longer had to put up with the annoying connection tones of modems. They also liked the fact that the connection was there as soon as they booted their computers and no waiting was required to get online.
DSL installation is easy for Illinois residents
Cheap DSL service is delivered to your home through existing phone lines. This means that nearly every single house in Illinois that is has wired telephone service can now have the benefits high speed Internet in IL. Also, since the service is delivered through the existing phone wires in your home. All you need in order to get the service is a couple of splitters or filters and a DSL modem. There's no need for a tech to come to your house and run wires all over the place or even stick a satellite on the roof.
DSL Internet Service is Available Almost Everywhere in IL
Laying cables is an expensive process. However, phone lines are generally laid down everywhere in Illinois. This means that in many rural areas where houses and communities are spread far and wide, cable Internet service isn't available. This leaves rural residents of Illinois with three options:
- Slow dialup
- Unreliable rural wireless Internet
- Affordable DSL Internet service
Bundling allows you to get the best of your Illinois Internet
The best provider of affordable DSL service in Illinois also offers satellite TV and phone service, allowing you the convenience of paying for everything at one time. This is one of the best ways to help control costs in these difficult economic times. DSL and satellite TV service are normally much less expensive than cable TV and Internet service. They have also historically had prices that have stayed more stable for Illinois residents.
One of the biggest complaints that Illinois cable customers have had over the past few years has been a combination of the higher prices demanded by providers as well as the fact that these prices have been known to increase once or twice per year.

A GROUP of friends is celebrating after completing a gruelling mud challenge which saw them raise £3,000 for Little Havens Hospice.
A team of 28 people took part in the Gauntlet assault course, in Finchingfield, earlier this month which saw them cross 6km of mud pits, water and obstacles including a wall, spider webs and trenches.
Lauren Cox, aged 25, of Wickford, who helped organise the challenge, said: "Although this was a really tough challenge, we all really enjoyed taking part knowing we were raising money for such a great cause as Little Havens.
"We were surprised and delighted to raise as much as we have and we are thankful to all those who have given so generously.
"Little Havens is a wonderful charity and has recently become even more important to us knowing our friends will soon be benefitting from the support of Little Havens with their baby boy."

A little kindness goes a long way. Just ask the Sydney, Australia, neighbors of Betty Harris, who were surprised to learn they had inherited her $12.5 million estate upon her death in 2009.
The neighbors, Beatrice Gray and her husband, Robert, brought Harris bread and milk, helped her with her chores and paid her bills.
The widowed Harris had no children and was estranged from her nieces and nephews. One niece, the prior beneficiary of the estate before Harris revised her will, waged a nasty, two-year legal battle but lost. According to Australia's News.com, the niece wanted to put Harris in a nursing home against her wishes. Harris also told people she hadn't spoken to her nieces or nephews for 13 years and she swore they would get none of her wealth.
Although a doctor determined Harris, age 95 when she died, was suffering from mild dementia in 2005 when she revised her will, the court did not believe she was unaware of her actions.
News.com reported that Harris had explained her bequest by saying: "The Grays would be surprised, (while) my family are waiting for me to die." She added that "I am determined that my relatives after what they have put me through will not get one cent."

Aggressive Duncan Tanguay was arrested for causing trouble on a Swindon bus less than 18 hours after being handed an ASBO for a string of public order offences.
Tanguay, of Five Stiles Road, Marlborough, was convicted on Friday of seven public order offences dating back to September last year.
His offences included; committing racially aggravated public order toward school children in Swindon; verbally abusing staff in a Minstral store; verbally abusing staff in One Stop Shop; being drunk and disorderly in High Street; verbally abusing staff in Tesco; and using threatening violence in London Road.
Appearing in Swindon Magistrates' Court on his 39th birthday, Tanguay was given a two-year ASBO which prevents him from entering Castle and Ball Hotel, the Bear Hotel, The Lamb, the Green Dragon, The Wellington, The Marlborough, the Crown Hotel, the Queen's Head, The Roebuck, One Stop Shop and Waitrose.
He was also ordered to take part in an alcohol treatment plan.
At around 9.30am on Saturday morning Tanguay was thrown off a bus to Swindon after acting inappropriately towards passengers. When a police officer arrived on the scene Tanguay used homophobic language towards him and was arrested.
On Monday, Tanguay appeared in Swindon Magistrates' Court again and was found guilty of a Public Order Act offence and was fined £100. Sergeant Barry Reed, of Marlborough Neighbourhood Police Team, said: "Mr Tanguay is well known to the local officers who have, over a four-year period, worked alongside Aster Housing, Wiltshire Council and alcohol support services to tackle the cause of his offending behaviour.
"Over the past several months we have seen an increase in Mr Tanguay's disorderly behaviour, most recently in Marlborough when he approached a 67-year-old male who was looking into an estate agent's window at 10.30am on a Sunday morning.
"He gave the gentleman verbal abuse and tried to head butt him.
"While I am conscious that Mr Tanguay is alcohol dependant, this behaviour will not be tolerated."

Day after dizziness, J-Up rests
ATLANTA -- Braves outfielder Justin Upton did not play in Wednesday afternoon's 10-5 loss to the Phillies at Turner Field, but he was available to come off the bench after exiting Tuesday night's 5-2 loss with dizziness and lightheadedness.
"Obviously, I want to be out there with the guys, but if I'm not feeling right and I can't help the team, it's better to have somebody out there 100 percent," Upton said. "[I feel] a little bit off, and my strength's a little bit down, but other than that, I feel pretty good."
Although Upton's status for Thursday's game in Washington, D.C., remains up in the air, the outfielder does not think that his current predicament will be a long-term issue.
"It's kind of an isolated thing," Upton said. "I guess we'll see how long it lingers, but for the most part, I'm hoping I can get back to myself in the next couple of days."

Martori Farms will ship a specialty melon in higher volumes this summer.
The Kandy Lemondrop melon is sweet, but it also has a tart finish, according to a news release from Aguila, Ariz.-based Martori.
The melon has a similar flavor profile as the Galia melon, with the added lemony flavor that comes from naturally occurring citrus acid.
"During a limited release last summer, we saw a home-grown buzz from food bloggers and positive customer reactions," Martori managing member Steve Martori said in the release. "This summer we are anticipating an increase in demand and look forward to an even larger social online response."
Martori grows cantaloupes, honeydews and other melons on 9,000 acres in Aguila's desert climate, which offers ideal melon-growing conditions — warm, dry days and cool, mild nights.

Figgins continues rehab; no timetable for return
ST. LOUIS -- Chone Figgins has been sidelined for more than a month with a strained left quad muscle, but there remains no exact timetable for his return to the Dodgers.
Figgins injured his quad muscle June 13 when he felt a pop as he ran down the first-base line on a sacrifice bunt. He returned to action Thursday when he began a rehab stint at Triple-A Albuquerque.
"He hadn't played in a while, so he's going to play a little bit, get some [at-bats] to make sure he's ready," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. "We'll kind of evaluate him every little section of time."
Figgins, who was batting .217 with a .373 on-base percentage in 38 games, has gone 1-for-4 with three walks in his first two rehab games, playing at both second and third base.
"I know he's going to play some at third, some at second, some in the outfield," Mattingly said. "Then we'll kind of get through that round and see where we're at."

'"I think it sucks,'' Biron said of Boynton's fluke goal in what ended as a 3-2 B's overtime victory. "That's not something you expect to see in a game.

If they do, they shoot the puck on the net.'

Notice to WEIU Viewers with DirecTV Service
We're reaching out to you today because of an urgent issue that is impacting your ability to view WEIU programs. DirecTV has recently relocated one of its satellite receivers to an AT&T building in Decatur, which was formerly located in Springfield.
Normally, this would not be an issue, as Decatur is still in our market as defined by the FCC. However, WEIU signals do not reach this location in Decatur with the minimum quality required by the DirecTV.
As a result, DirecTV has dropped WEIU from its satellite carriage — and viewers who have previously been able to receive our unique programming like Being Well, City Spotlight, The Paw Report, NewsWatch can now no longer watch these programs at home.
As part of a must-carry agreement, DirecTV is required to fund any expenses we would incur in providing them our signal if this relocation happened before a normal renewal cycle (which it has) ... unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be happening.
This is why we need your help. Please reach out to DirecTV and request that it carries WEIU — let them know how important it is for this channel to come back in your viewing area. Please call DirecTV at 1-855-802-3473 and let them know that WEIU is an educational programming asset in your community and you can't afford to lose it.

History decided otherwise, especially when the traditional mendicant lifestyle became infeasible in some territories. You have Brahmanical literature which talks about what a bad omen it is when yellow robed monks show up. The long conflict between Buddhists and Brahmins, which the former lost, saw a need for landed monasticism.
There were and are all kinds of mendicants in yellow robes in India, not just Buddhists.
Later on full bhikṣu ordinations were restricted by the state. Until fairly recently there were not so many full bhikṣu-s in Chinese Buddhism. Modern authors sometimes lamented how earlier a lot of monks just had the tonsure and that's it.
Yes, my point precisely.
In the case of Zen, a Zen monk in Kamakura Japan was a monk. He lived in a monastery, shaved his head and was expected to maintain celibacy. That's what we call a monk in English. They weren't legally defined as bhikṣu-s, but then in Japanese "bhikṣu" became a humble first person pronoun. Their own forms of monasticism developed based on environmental and social circumstances.
As you know from the E-sangha debacle, for me a Buddhist "monk" is a bhikṣu. So called Buddhist "monks" who are not bhikṣus, etc., are just celibate/non-celibate lay people.
My position on this has not changed one iota. The fact that there are so called Buddhist "monks" who do not have vows, and generally behave like ordinary people just illustrates my point even more.
The fact that money carries value is sufficient. There is no intrinsic value to gold, its value is also determined by fiat.
There ain't no precepts against having fiat currency through a plastic card connected to a global banking network.
Yes, and there is no precept against smoking tobacco, despite the fact that Buddha would have disapproved of it.
Christian monks, yes, not Buddhist monks.
You should visit Taiwan. They got full bhikṣu-s growing food.
Well, then they are breaking their precepts, and that is a pity.
The Vinaya[s] is/are the only basis upon which someone can be considered a bhiḳsu or not.
Bhikṣu just means beggar. There's a legal definition of the term, but you fail to recognize that the Buddha's first disciples and some other eminent followers were technically bhikṣu-s without having received any precepts at all (this is called a svagata bhikṣu in Vinaya jargon). The first disciples had no precepts because precepts only came to exist, at least as the story goes, because of incidents occurring that caused problems for the community.
Yes, this is true. But when you ordain you receive all of these accreted vows, and are expected to maintain them. For example, when you receive Bodhisattva vows, you don't decide which ones you are going to follow based on whether it is convenient for you. You try your best to follow all.
The first disciples of the Buddha were generally stream entrants very quickly. Later as more common foolish people ordained, Buddha needed to elaborate rules for their conduct. Buddha also was able to merely declare someone a Bhiksu, without any other rite. But this is not how it is for us today. In order to become any kind of ordained person up to bhikṣu, you must become ordained through a rite. Or are you suggesting we can just dispense with ordination rites as well, since after all, Buddha did not use them in the beginning?
The Vinaya system nevertheless is a later development and the fundamentalist interpretation of it, which you are pushing here to justify your lack of generosity towards monastics, was not the Buddha's intent at all. Even according to the orthodox story, he told Ananda to drop the minor rules. He's also on record starting that things could be adapted to foreign environments.
Yes, when monks live in cold climates, they can have leather sandals and fur cloaks; when they are sick they can drink alcohol, and so forth. Ananda, as we know, forgot to ask what "minor" meant and no one so far as had the arrogance to decide what that meant.
There's nothing wrong with ignoring or simply cutting away rules and regulations...
Statements like this merely prove that this age is not a suitable age for monasticism. Pretty soon we will see Buddhist "monks" "inventing" rules that allow one to be married, non-celibate, and wealthy (Oh wait, we already have that in Japan).
...which make no sense anymore (like having to smear your room with cow dung after having eaten garlic).
Cow dung mixed with cow urine and spread on the wall of a clay house smells quite sweet. But granted, it would be hard to do anywhere in the West. But the intent is obvious-- if you eat garlic you need to deodorize yourself.

Thank everybody here on DhammaWheel for their collective wisdom once again.
In regards to the topic of aspiration for (at least 1st) Jhana, the first thing that comes to mind is to plant the right seeds and sow the conditions for deeper samadhi to occur, whether it will it occur and when it will occur will be not a matter of 'forced will or grasping' but a gradual unfolding quality of a quiet mind.
What have been the lifestyle changes and practical things that you have done to make that possible?
Practical tips would be much appreciated (especially with breath meditation).
eg (3 months silent retreat + 2 hours maintenance everyday) or
(complete celibacy + 2 hours practice everyday for 1 complete year) or
(good awareness/mindfulness of breath all day + 2 hours regular practice) etc.
What might work for somebody, might not work for others, but I guess they are good indication of the resolve and consistency one might need to put in practice.
Dhamma practice is a long term project after all.
kindest regards,

Seager, Zunino go yard to power surging Mariners
Bullpen tosses 4 2/3 scoreless frames as winning streak hits five
SEATTLE -- With help from home runs from Kyle Seager and Mike Zunino, the Mariners teed off on Red Sox pitching for a second straight night in an 8-2 victory Tuesday at Safeco Field as Seattle continued its impressive first-half run.
Despite another short outing from starter Erasmo Ramirez, Seattle won its fifth straight and claimed the series against the Red Sox with still one more game to go Wednesday as the Mariners improved to 42-36.
The Mariners are six games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2009 season. They currently have the fifth-best record in the American League and are in second in the Wild Card standings, while owning the second-best run differential in the league at plus-52 as they near the midpoint of the season.
"There's a really good feeling in the clubhouse," Seager said after equaling his career high with four RBIs. "We feel good. We know what we have in here, we feel good about it and we feel like we'll be able to sustain it."
Seager launched a three-run blast off the Hit it Here Café in the fifth inning to highlight a 2-for-4 outing that also included a run-scoring double in the first.
Seager increased his team lead in RBIs to 53, just 16 shy of his total for last year. The 26-year-old third baseman also maintained his club-leading home run total with 11, one ahead of Zunino after the young catcher followed with a solo blast of his own in the fifth off Red Sox right-hander Jake Peavy.
Zunino has homered in three of his last four games and is just the fifth Mariners catcher to reach double-digit long balls before the All-Star break. After seeing his batting average drop from .274 to .217 in a rough two-month stretch, the 2012 first-round Draft pick has begun turning things back around at the plate.
"Just constant work," Zunino said of the turnabout. "Heck, I tried just about everything so it's about time something sort of clicked. It's just one of those where I'm trying to get balance and see the ball as early as possible. I'm just taking a lot of swings, trying to use the whole field and I've been able to get a couple pitches that I've been able to handle."
The Mariners have had their struggles at Safeco Field this season, but they improved to 19-20 at home and have scored 20 runs in the first two games of this series. Ten of Seager's 11 home runs and 36 of his 53 RBIs have come at home. The RBI total is already the most of his career for a full home season.
And while Seager is quick to say he won't get in a long-ball competition with some of his bigger teammates, he couldn't help but smile about cracking one off the glass at the Café above the right-field stands.
"Yeah, I didn't even realize it hit there until they told me," he said. "I should have watched it more, I guess. You see it up there and you have guys hitting off there in BP all the time it seems, but that's a good home run."
The only down side for the Mariners was Ramirez continuing his trend of short starts as the young right-hander lasted just 4 1/3 innings, though he left with a 3-2 lead despite giving up five hits and five walks in a 93-pitch outing.
After feeling he'd turned a corner with six shutout innings with just two hits and two walks in his prior outing in San Diego, the Nicaraguan native said he lost his command again.
"It was just gone," Ramirez said. "I didn't feel comfortable, like the last time I threw. Everybody was waiting fastball, waiting for that pitch and I paid for it because I was trying too many breaking balls and didn't have control of any of my pitches. I just didn't have the control today."
With top prospect Taijuan Walker throwing a four-hit shutout for Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday night against Oklahoma City, Ramirez might be at the end of his rope with the Mariners. Manager Lloyd McClendon was pleased with his bullpen's 4 2/3 scoreless innings, but noted that sort of bailout can't continue.
"They did a good job, yeah," McClendon said. "I'm not sure if I would categorize it as a good night though. That's not how you want to win ballgames. You can't keep stretching your bullpen night-in and night-out like that. That just can't happen."
Ramirez has gone beyond five innings just once in five starts since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on May 3. The no-decision leaves him at 1-4 with a 4.58 ERA in 11 starts. Joe Beimel got the first four outs after Ramirez's departure to earn the victory. He's now 2-1 with a 1.46 ERA as he extended his scoreless string to 14 2/3 innings .
The Mariners' offensive highlights also included a run-scoring triple from Endy Chavez in the second. It was Chavez's second triple in as many nights, after the 36-year-old outfielder hadn't notched a three-bagger since 2011 until he unloaded a bases-loaded shot in Monday's 12-3 win.
"I'll take it," Chavez said. "If tomorrow is another one, I'll take it. I'm just trying to put the ball in play and be on base for the team and everything is going good."
Was the veteran tired after a 3-for-5 night with a triple as he hiked his average to .263?
"Nah," Chavez said. "I'll get tired when I retire."
Rookie center fielder James Jones was 0-for-3, but he still managed to score twice and steal a pair of bases. The young speedster has 14 stolen bases in 15 attempts and already has exceeded the 13 stolen bases by Michael Saunders that led the club in 2013.

text: Hummers in December, hmm? By Scott Shalaway December 15, 2012 Story Share A week ago, Vonda Poole of New Wilmington, Pa., emailed me and worried about "a female hummingbird that has not gone south for the winter. It's now December 9th," she wrote, "and it's still here. Was I wrong to leave a feeder up? What will happen when freezing weather hits?"I explained that keeping the feeder up was the right thing to do. The bird was almost certainly a rufous hummingbird, a hardy western species that nests as far north as Alaska. Over the last 15 years, rufous hummingbirds have been showing up with increasing regularity in Pennsylvania and adjacent states. This year visits by western hummers have reached record levels in Pennsylvania.The first western hummingbird report I can recall dates back to October 1997 when a female rufous hummer showed up at a feeder in Delmont, Pa., just east of Pittsburgh. "Ruthie," as this hummer came to be known, was a regular topic of conversation on my weekly radio show in Pittsburgh (Sundays, noon to 2 p.m., online at www.wmnyradio.com). Since then more rufous hummingbirds have shown up every year.In December 1997, banders from the Alabama-based Hummer/Bird Study Group (www.hummingbirdsplus.org) captured and banded Ruthie. Amazingly she returned to the same backyard in October 1998. She died in January 1999 and now resides in the bird collection at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.Scott Weidensaul, a naturalist and hummingbird bander from eastern Pennsylvania, has received reports of more than 80 hummingbirds statewide this fall. "Most have been rufous," Weidensaul explains, "but there have been a few late ruby-throats, two calliopes, two Allen's, and one black-chinned hummingbird. By chasing these birds and banding as many as possible, we're getting a better understanding of their migration. Many seem to loop from west to east, and then at some point after a cold snap, they continue on to the Gulf coast."Knowing the interest in late season hummingbirds, I asked Poole if she would permit a bander to visit her home. She agreed, and Bob Mulvihill, consulting ornithologist and bander at the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania (www.aswp.org) in Pittsburgh made arrangements to visit the next day. Mulvihill arrived early and had the trap set by daybreak. Within minutes, he captured a previous banded adult female rufous hummingbird. It was originally banded Jan. 27, 2012, near Donaldson, La., and identified as a second-year female rufous hummingbird that hatched in 2011. "That means she hatched somewhere in the northern Rocky Mountains in the summer of 2011," Mulvihill explained, "migrated all the way to Louisiana for the winter, returned to the Rockies to nest this summer, and migrated south again, this time stopping in western Pennsylvania!"Mulvihill told me this was the second time he had recaptured a rufous hummingbird near Pittsburgh in the fall that had been originally banded along the Gulf Coast the previous winter. "The first instance," he said, "was a bird recaptured in November 2006 in McDonald, west of Pittsburgh, that had been banded the previous winter in Diamondhead, Miss. That bird was recaptured again in the same McDonald backyard the following year in early November 2007!"In recent years the Hummer/Bird Study Group has documented 14 species of hummingbirds wandering east during the fall and winter. Most have been rufous hummers, but other species include ruby-throated, black-chinned, Allen's, Anna's, calliope, buff-bellied, broad-tailed, white-eared, green violet-ear, magnificent, green-breasted mango, broad-billed, and Costa's.Bob Sargent, founder of the Hummer/Bird Study Group urges birders to maintain one nectar feeder all winter, keep it clean, and place it where it can be easily viewed. "If you live in the range for the ruby-throated hummingbirds," Sargent explains, "you will not make them stay if you leave a feeder out in winter. When it's time, they will migrate with or without your feeder."It's never too late to see a late season hummingbird, so keep a nectar feeder filled all winter. When it gets cold at night, place the feeder indoors until morning so the nectar doesn't freeze. If you see a hummingbird between now and March, there are people who want to know. Bob Sargent (firstname.lastname@example.com) can put you touch with a bander near you.Send questions and comments to Dr. Scott Shalaway, 2222 Fish Ridge Road, Cameron, WV 26033 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Making The Case for Each MITB Participant
by, 06-26-2013 at 08:04 PM (2067 Views)
WWE has actually decided to add a curveball to this year's Money In The Bank Pay-per-view: unpredictability. Last year's winners were John Cena and Dolph Ziggler, two obvious choices. But this time, they are making us guess at who could win, why they should win, and whether or not curveballs will be thrown. Also, we have, for the first time, a Money In The Bank ladder match with all heels. I don't know about you guys, but I'm actually excited. Let's get straight to it shall we?
CM Punk: Coming off a 434 day reign with the WWE Title, I'd think its safe to say that he is going to be off of it for a while. Considering the fact that he has also been thrown into a program with Brock Lesnar, the WWE Title would be somewhat of a distraction. I will tell you this though, Brock Lesnar vs CM Punk for the WWE Title would be something worth watching. I see virtually little to no shot of Punk winning the title. That is unless of course, WWE wants to put the WWE Title on the line in the bout.
Odds: 30 %
Kane: Kane's days of being a top dog in WWE have surely come to an end. I cannot see him winning something as prestigious as the WWE Title ever again. To be quite frank, if Kane somehow wins this match, it would be one of the greatest upsets of all time. But right now, it is too late for Kane now. He is moving on to bigger and better things in terms of his political career. He has no time carrying around the company's top title.
Odds: 5 %
Randy Orton: So apparently he is a RAW superstar now. Oh well, we'll have to deal with it. Randy Orton has just put over Daniel Bryan via submission (if only Cena or Triple H can learn from him) and will be looking to win his first ever MITB ladder match. Unfortunately for Orton, the odds really don't stack in his favor. Orton winning doesn't really make sense at this point, considering that WWE is already booking Daniel Bryan vs John Cena for the title at Summerslam. If Orton did win, it would signal a heel turn and we would have another heel Orton vs face John Cena program. The WWE's version of Goku vs Vegeta. It wouldn't be necessarily bad if he won, but don't expect him to win.
Odds: 35 %
Christian: Now here's an interesting throw in by WWE. Christian is similar to Kane. Though it hasn't been THAT long since he won his last world title, the door is closing on Christian as a main event draw. He is much better off putting over heels in the mid-card as of right now. He JUST came back and it would be way unfair to younger superstars who deserves it more right now. Christian should have been given more shots at the WWE Title in the past. It's far too late now. And by the looks of it, he may be feuding with Dean Ambrose and the WWE Title would only make it a useless distraction. Another unreasonable pick here.
Odds: 5 %
Sheamus: Another supposed Smackdown superstar that is now on RAW. The last time Sheamus was WWE Champion, he was feuding with Cena and Randy Orton, as a heel (ah, the good old days). But now i think he was just thrown in there as an extra body. I cannot see Sheamus winning the title right now. I think he will hold it again one day, but just not now. Now's not the time.
Odds: 5 %
Daniel Bryan: Now here's the pick of the day. Daniel Bryan has just proven that he is not the weakest link and he is looking to win his second MITB ladder match. Bryan is a shoe-in for a match against Cena for the title at Summerslam and him winning here would be the first step into making that a reality. Bryan is the favorite to win this match here, so there are no surprises. A Bryan vs Cena match would be a wrestling gift.
Odds: 93 %
Rob Van Dam: I thought he would never return, but i should really learn to never say "never". Rob Van Dam will surely entertain as ladder matches are one of his specialties. He will be sure to entertain, but if he will win is another story. It would be interesting to see RVD vs Cena again with Paul Heyman accompanying Van Dam but Bryan is more likely to win it. But i wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they picked him over Bryan. They would have to explain it to me though.
Odds: 65 %
Now, here's the fun part.
Fandango: Fandango to me was a very interesting pick considering that he has only been in two PPV matches and does not have a lot of TV time. But i see the logic and reasoning. Every one of these superstars competing are young, underdeveloped talent and he is one of them. It is too early to give him a push for the WHC, considering that he was also billed to win the IC Title at Payback. Fandango will have his chance, just not now.
Odds: 25 %
Dean Ambrose: If Ambrose wins this match then I would be very happy for him. But it's not likely for him to win either. At least not yet. Right now The Shield are dominating the upper mid card and they should continue to do so, at least until Night Of Champions where they would inevitably break up and pursue singles careers. I believe Ambrose will have the most success out of the three. As I said, don't expect an Ambrose win here, but if he does, boy would I be a happy person. He may have the easiest cash in. All he needs to do is have The Shield beat the guy up and he could get the pin.
Odds: 40%
Wade Barrett: Now here's a guy that could really use a big win. Barrett is the undisputed worst Intercontinental Champion of all time. That led me to believe that the WWE doesn't have faith in him. Or, maybe they were just fooling us so that Barrett can have a bigger future in WWE. Barrett is 32 years old and his ceiling is coming sooner rather than later so the time is now. He is one of the favorites going into this match, so don't expect any surprises if he wins. If he loses, however, I don't know what else is left.
Odds: 85 %
Cody Rhodes: If WWE was smart, they would let him win. A lot of people last year were picking Rhodes to get the win over Ziggler but he didn't. Now is the time. He is 27, and is a fresh, young talent. And maybe this may signal a face turn from him if he breaks up with Damien Sandow. Rhodes just has to win this match. I cannot see anyone else who deserves it more than he does. My pick is Rhodes for this one.
Odds: 96 %
Damien Sandow: Once again, we have a case of too early. Sandow WILL be a future WHC, but right now isn't the proper time. He is doing fine as it is. Perhaps not being a jobber, however, could be a great welcome change. Him winning wouldn't be a bad thing, but once again there are more people who deserves it. And besides, I'm not sure how much confidence WWE creative has in giving the likes of him the WHC this early in his career. We will have to wait and see.
Odds: 25 %
Antonio Cesaro: Antonio Cesaro has been made to look like a fool the past couple of months, yodeling and what not. It's good to see him shapen up his character joining a stable with Zeb Colter. His in-ring skills are beautiful, and his potential is unlimited. But the time for the World Heavyweight Title isn't now. He still needs time to develop his character before he gets gifted with the WHC. But IF he were to win, he would likely be engaged in a feud with Swagger. A Cesaro v. Swagger match can be a good old-fashioned amateur wrestling match, but that's not going to happen. Not now at least.
Odds: 20 %
Jack Swagger: I feel bad for this man. When he came back, he had a brand new look, epic music, and even a mouthpiece that he desperately needed to hide his lack of charisma. But one weed-filled night and an arrest this past week later guarantees him that he won't be winning World Heavyweight gold anytime soon. There is no one to blame but himself as he simply stank up the joint with his poor decision making. Now we have people chanting "WEED THE PEOPLE" as a spoof of what his actual catchphrase is. Poor Swagger. The only thing keeping me from giving him no chance of winning is the fact that WWE has been notorious for throwing us curveballs in the past that we wouldn't think of and if there is any secret pick out of these young superstars, Swagger is the person.
Odds: 2.43 %

'I think the Sabres will still be strong. As of right now, I don't know what free agents loom that the Sabres could acquire or what impact other prospects within the organization may have. As for the results next season, the Sabres again will be an "underdog." That title seems to fit them better. Who knows? People are already counting them out for next season. I think they have a shot of being a legitimate contender — again.'

I think mushrooms are good no matter how you cook them, but roasting concentrates the mushroom flavor in a way that makes these mushrooms especially good. My grill is still packed away due to house renovations, but if I was you, I'd roast the mushrooms on the grill, then serve them over a steak or some grilled pork chops. If you're not in a grilled meat kind of mood, the mushrooms would make a great side dish no matter what you're serving.
I'm a big fan of thyme, which is an ornamental plant as well as a culinary herb. In this recipe I used silver thyme from my garden. Thyme goes well with many foods, including poultry, dried beans, beef, tomatoes, squash, lamb, fish, lentils, onions, pork, and of course mushrooms.
Mix the chopped thyme with minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and a tiny dash of olive oil.
Pork Chops with Balsamic Glaze for a low-carb meal.
Oven or Grill-top Roasted Mushrooms with Garlic, Thyme, and Balsamic Vinegar
(Makes 4 side-dish servings, recipe adapted slightly from Vegetables Every Day by Jack Bishop.)
1 lb. mushrooms (I used brown Crimini mushrooms)
2 T + 1 tsp. olive oil
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 T finely minced garlic
1 T balsamic vinegar
2 T finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 T chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Roast mushrooms 15 minutes. While mushrooms cook, finely chop fresh thyme, then mix with minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and the tsp. of olive oil. (You could mix this right in the bowl you originally tossed the mushrooms with.)
After 15 minutes, drain off any liquid that has accumulated. (If you spread the mushrooms out well, the liquid will evaporate, but if yours are too crowded like mine, you'll have a little liquid to pour off.) Then toss the hot mushrooms with they garlic-thyme mixture. Arrange back on roasting pan and cook about 10 minutes more. Serve hot, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Toyota's 50MPG Prius c Hybrid to Start at $18,950
Tiffany Kaiser
February 9, 2012 9:22 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The Toyota Prius c hybrid is available in four grades, ranging from $18,950 to $23,230
At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) last month, Toyota proudly unveiled its new
2012 Prius c hybrid
. The automaker boasted that the latest Prius member would be both fuel efficient and affordable, and today, the actual price figures have been released.
The starting manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the 2012 Prius c hybrid is $18,950. However, the Prius c will be available in four grades, offering more features the higher the grade. The Prius c One has an MSRP of $18,950, while the Prius c Two is priced at $19,900, the Prius c Three is priced at $ 21,635 and the Prius c Four is priced at $23,230.
All Prius c's
will feature a Hybrid Synergy Drive 1.5-liter DOHC, 16-valve engine, a 144 volt nickel-metal hydride battery and a 60 HP permanent magnet AC synchronous motor for a combined hybrid system output of 99 HP. All Prius c's also offer Toyota's Star Safety System and nine standard airbags, and offer 53 mpg city and 46 mpg highway.
The Toyota Prius c One offers the basics like remote keyless entry, automatic climate control and a steering wheel with controls such as Bluetooth, audio and other options. Upgrading to the Prius c Two gets you a six-speaker audio system, a center console with armrest and storage, cruise control, engine immobilizer, a cargo area tonneau cover and a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat.
For those willing to bump up to the Prius c Three, drivers receive a plethora of technology for both entertainment and information such as a 6.1-inch touchscreen, Sirius XM Satellite Radio capability, HD Radio with iTunes Tagging, a Display Audio system with Navigation and Entune, advanced voice recognition, and a USB port with iPod connectivity. The Three also allows drivers to add 15-inch alloy wheels for an extra $390 and a power tilt/slide moonroof with sunshade for an extra $850.
The crème de la crème of the Prius c hybrids is the Four, with added 15-inch, 8-spoke alloy wheels, color-keyed heated power outside mirrors with turn signals, integrated fog lamps, and Softex-trimmed heated front seats. Prius c Four drivers can also choose to add a power tilt/slide moonroof with sliding shade for an extra $850, a 16-inch, 8-spoke alloy wheel package with P195/50R16 tires for an extra $300, or a 16-inch alloy wheel package that includes P195/50R16 tires and the moonroof with sliding sunshade for an extra $1,150.
"It's sized, priced, styled and packaged to appeal to young buyers on a budget who, until now, have probably found a hybrid experience out of reach," said Jim Lentz, Toyota USA president and CEO. "That's why we view
the Prius as a gateway vehicle
and a key component of our Prius strategy."
The Prius c hybrid will be available in dealerships in March 2012.
"We shipped it on Saturday. Then on Sunday, we rested." -- Steve Jobs on the iPad launch

The Day Ahead: Reams of Troubles
"The market, like the Lord, helps those who help themselves." -- Warren Buffett
I have learned this much from putting life on hold for 10 years to pray at the stock-market altar: Regardless of whether times are good, there will always be any number of problems we must digest. When stocks are rocking, of course, the reasons to embrace risk-taking are amplified. The likely well-chronicled negatives are either too small to crush the positives, or they are far enough in the distance, with no need to deal with them until an impending day of reckoning....730 more words left in this article.

text: Audit findings won't work, school health officials say By Kate Long November 20, 2012 Story Share Kate Long When second-grader Jalia Gregory needs doctor's care at Mary C. Snow West Side Elementary, she can walk down the hall to see the pediatrician, Dr. Zeina Haidar, at the school-based health center run by FamilyCare. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- FamilyCare CEO Martha Carter was stunned to hear Tuesday that, tucked inside 141 pages of recommendations in the state school system's efficiency audit, the consultants who wrote it are urging the Legislature to require school-based health centers to take on the duties of school nurses "free of charge.""That's just plain impossible," she said. "I don't know of any school-based health program that makes money. Ours sure don't."School nurses are now school system employees. If the health system would assume their duties free of charge, the consultants say, the school system would save $9 million."We lose money on our school-based health services," Carter said. In Kanawha County, FamilyCare, a federally qualified health center, runs the school-based health center inside the Mary C. Snow West Side Elementary School. "There's no way we could add another salary," Carter said. "This makes no sense."Today, the state school board is issuing their reaction to the recommendations in that efficiency report, generated by Pennsylvania-based Public Works LLC.Amber Crist, education director of Cabin Creek Health Systems, which runs four school-based centers in Kanawha County, echoed Carter."The problem is that there aren't enough school nurses," she said. "This recommendation does not help with that. It just shifts the cost to the health system. I don't know about the rest of the report, but this recommendation isn't going to solve anything."Specifically, the audit recommends that legislators pass a law forcing school-based health centers to "perform the duties of a school nurse, free of charge, as payment for the use of school facilities."These centers do not pay rent or utilities for the school building space they occupy," the consultants wrote. "Actually some do pay rent and utilities," Kelli Caseman, director of the West Virginia School-Based Health Assembly, said. The contracts are locally negotiated, she said, so they vary from school to school."Our board was stunned when they read that," Caseman said. "Clearly, the auditors didn't understand the magnitude of medical services school-based centers provide for schools and children. It read as if the centers were doing nothing for the schools."The centers provide more than 100,000 medical treatments for children a year, she said. The consultants did not visit any centers, "to our knowledge."Nurses, health centers not interchangeableJanet Allio may make it easier to get a grip on the difference between school nurses and school-based health centers.Three days a week, Allio is the school nurse at Mary Snow Elementary on Charleston's West Side. Two days a week, she nurses at Piedmont Elementary on the East End. The school system says neither school can afford a full-time nurse. At both schools, Allio makes sure kids with type 1 diabetes get their insulin, kids with asthma use their inhalers, kids who need catheters have fresh ones in place. She sees children with seizures and other life-threatening allergies, but she does not provide care that requires a doctor.Last year, she gave children more than 2,000 doses of already-prescribed medication. She talks with parents every day. "We help families find homes and clothing, whatever affects the kids' health," she said. "We keep a clothes closet." She goes into classrooms to teach about things like household poisons and nutrition. Last year, she rode the school bus every morning with a child who needs constant care. There is one big difference between her two schools: Mary Snow has a school-based health center. Piedmont does not.A school-based health center is a medical clinic with a doctor. "If a child has a problem that requires a physician -- strep, a broken bone, whatever -- at Mary Snow, I can send them straight to the pediatrician inside the school," Allio said. Eighty percent of parents have signed permission slips. "I can call the others and give them that option." At Piedmont, she must call the parent and ask them to come get the child. That can cause parents to miss work. The child may or may not see a doctor, she said. "At Mary Snow, we know they see a doctor.""We have seen our children come back to school so much more quickly since we got the school-based center," said Mary C. Snow Principal Mellow Lee.Ninety-six West Virginia schools have services from a school-based center. They have been built with federal and private funding, including more than $3 million from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation.There are more than 700 schools statewide. "Someday, we'd like to have this for all schools," Caseman said.Federally qualified health centers run most of the centers. No Mary C. Snow parents ever receive a bill for their child's treatment. The center funds itself by billing insurance: PEIA, CHIP, Medicaid and private insurance. A federal program covers children who have no insurance.Shifting the costThe consultants say the school system could save $9 million by their recommendations. "To get $9 million in savings, they'd have to cut out the salary and benefits of every school nurse in the state," said Brenda Isaac, lead school nurse for Kanawha County. "That's the only way I can think of that they could come up with $9 million."They say the health centers are going to do it for free. The health centers say they can't. I'm not sure how this solves the problem of too little care.""Even if we thought it was a good idea, we would not be able to do it," Crist said. Insurance companies will not reimburse the centers for school nurse services, she said."The state can't force a private organization to provide services," she said. "I suppose they could tell us we have to shut down if we don't do it, but that would not be efficient. It would cause a lot of problems."Reach Kate Long at 304-348-1798 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Which current Bucs will be affected by the draft?
You can learn a lot about the Bucs self-evaluation by examining their draft.
Four of their first five selections were defensive players, no surprise considering Tampa Bay gave up a franchise-worst 494 points, was last in rushing defense and allowed 30 touchdown passes last season.
"We wanted to become a much more physical football team with this draft - that was the main concern, and I think we did that,'' general manager Mark Dominik said. "We also wanted to become a smarter football team with this draft, and I think we did that. And we wanted to create a lot of competition with this draft and I think we did that.''
Let's focus on the competition that was created by this draft. For each of the seven players selected by the Bucs, there is at least one existing player who potentially will be affected by that choice.

Technology is what often differentiates companies, and the ability to copy or imitate is faster and less costly than innovation and development. As a result, one must understand the various forms of intellectual property protection to assess the perceived value, longevity, and cost effectiveness of their IP protections. As noted in a previous article, a strategic IP management program can generate competitive benefits, market defenses, and even revenue. Protecting intellectual property is therefore integral to corporate operations, and any IP strategy must be evaluated from an economic perspective.
Before creating and implementing an IP program, there are several key issues to consider. The first action should be to define a specific set of goals and intentions with regard to the purpose of the IP protection program. This is not only critical for operational success, but also in determining the reasonableness of the related expenses. A well-defined IP program can be used to provide better insights into the true cost of IP generation, protection and development.
A company should also take industry or market practices into account with regard IP protection. These practices should be evaluated carefully in determining the potential value of the intellectual property being included in the program. An IP program should also carefully consider the types of products or services to be protected, and their economic value and longevity. This will shape IP budget considerations. Conversely, budget limitations may dictate the scale and scope of a protection program — and prioritization between product protections.
Companies should also consider the real cost of time invested in protecting, licensing and litigating IP. Further, both industry and technology dynamics may affect the long-term viability of IP and its application to particular products. Therefore, the cost of IP protection should be assessed in light of the longevity of the protected product and the net present value of a projected income stream. A company can use automation and productivity tools can help to assess the life cycle of IP protections relative to the longevity of the products to be protected.
The use of electronic tracking databases, docket databases and other technology can also facilitate a substantive IP program while minimizing costs. The proper use of technology tools may also reduce staffing costs.
Defined licensing policies and practices are also key to a cost-effective IP program. These include standardized terms for licensing, ownership, infringement and indemnification. The creation of templates and form agreements should be the first stage in this process, followed by policies as to when the templates can be altered. Establishing clear policies and standard terms and conditions empowers company personnel to stand fast on standard terms, thereby avoiding the cost of acquiring specialized IP protection for a unique situation.
The use of such IP incentive programs is also important to ensure a consistent approach in the protection of intellectual property. Any program should clearly set out rights in works created in the course of employment, and also include incentive provisions to motivate employees to disclose and participate in the protection of IP. This is critical under the new "First to File" vs. "First to Invent" model of the new AIA patent statute. Such a program should include training, guidelines and procedures for filing and maintaining intellectual property rights; as well as the ability to establish and retain relationships with key inventors. IP training programs can be varied in length, content and style, and should be conducted in a manner to engage the employees. However, such training will pay dividends in having employees that can help facilitate appropriate IP protections vs. having to rely on more costly outside expertise to do so.
As with any aspect of doing business, managing an IP program is an economic activity first and foremost. By treating it as such, companies will ensure they are making the best decisions for their business.

Tinkler strikes deal to save stud staffDonna Page
Published: November 22 2012 - 1:15PM
Nathan Tinkler has made an eleventh-hour deal to save the future of more than 240 employees of his Patinack Farm racing empire.
It is believed Patinack Farm Administration, that was placed in liquidation yesterday, employs about 70 staff in the Hunter Valley at farms in Sandy Hollow and Aberdeen.
Liquidator Anthony Matthews and Associates issued a statement saying the employees jobs were secure.
''I advise that following discussion with the management of the company that employees will not have their employment terminated,'' liquidator Tony Matthews said.
''I have had discussions with Troy Palmer, a director of the company, who advises me that it is management's intention to fund the liquidator to meet trading and other expenses to enable the company to continue to trade and pay all creditors to the company in full.''
The Federal Court yesterday ordered the company into liquidation over a debt of about $17,000 to WorkCover South Australia.
Mr Tinkler and his right-hand man, Hunter Sports Group chief executive Mr Palmer, are the directors of the company.
Fairfax Media understands Mr Palmer is in the Hunter Valley, at the Sandy Hollow property.
It is understood the company – one of a dozen entities forming part of the Patinack empire – has a $4 million tax bill.
Late yesterday afternoon Patinack Farm Administration settled the $17,000 debt owed to WorkCover South Australia, with a Tinkler Group spokesman describing the situation as an ''administration error''.
The spokesman said a $163,000 debt owed to Queensland Workcover had also been paid, but the Newcastle Herald has been unable to confirm this.
A spokesman for Mr Tinkler has been contacted for comment.

Blue Jays claim Redmond
The TORONTO BLUE JAYS have claimed RHP TODD REDMOND on waivers from the Baltimore Orioles and optioned him to Buffalo of the International League (AAA).
REDMOND, 27, split the 2012 season between the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds organizations. The 6-3, 235lb. right-handed pitcher appeared in 26 games, 25 starts at the AAA level last season posting a combined record of 8-11 with a 3.63 ERA. The St. Petersburg, Florida native made his Major League debut last season with Cincinnati, losing his only start after allowing four earned runs in 3 1/3 innings pitched.
To make room on the 40-man roster the Blue Jays have placed RHP DREW HUTCHISON on the 60-day disabled list.

Consultant urges people to stay at home

4:13pm Friday 18th January 2013
A consultant from Royal United Hospital is warning people to stay at home as today's snowfall is set to turn to ice.
Dr Clare Taylor, a consultant who works in emergency medicine at RUH, said: "When the snow first falls people are sensible and stay at home. But it will be over the next few days, when people can't see what they are walking on, that we will see an increase in falls.
"We see people who have only taken one step out of their door and slipped because they are not prepared.
"Very few things are worth falling over and breaking something. We are already seeing people admitted because of falls and sledging accidents. It is a horrible experience for them. I would advise parents to encourage their children to wear cycle helmets when they are sledging.
"We will have problems with staff coming in and an increase in admissions so it will really make a difference if people are sensible and careful."
