Man finds skeleton in tent in Ocala
A skeleton was found in a tent on Ocala's outskirts Sunday, according to the Ocala Police Department.
A man called the Marion County Sheriff's Office saying he had found the remains in a tent by railroad tracks on Northeast 35th Street. Deputies later determined the man was found within Ocala's city limits and OPD took over the investigation.
"There's no indication of any foul play," said Lt. Scott Fosler. "But, it's a skeleton. Who knows?"
Fosler said he believes the remains may have been in the tent between six months and a year. He said inside the tent he could see a skull and what he believed to be neck bones and other bones scattered about the camp site.
He also said the remains were covered up with a blanket.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple ( AAPL) is one of the few tech companies that repeatedly pushes the envelope with its hardware and software. The tech titan's reportedly testing the next iPhone, but will consumers clamor for it like previous versions? The Next Web reports that developers have started to see logs with an 'iPhone6,1' identifier, using iOS 7, which could be Apple's next mobile operating system. Apple has traditionally announced the next version of its OS at its Worldwide Developers' Conference in San Francisco during the summer, with the next iPhone coming shortly after, but given the recent market sentiment towards anything Apple, demand could be tepid. Sentiment has changed towards Apple, especially at the end of 2012, as the company released a slew of new products, including the iPhone 5, iPad mini, fourth-gen iPad, and a host of new Mac computers. I was impressed with the new Macs and the iPad mini, but the iPhone 5 offers incremental changes to the iPhone 4S, at best. It wasn't a drastic change, save for a slightly larger screen, thinner design and a new operating system. The markets reflected that shifting sentiment, particularly after Apple's last earnings report. In the final three months of the year, Apple fell 19.29%, compared to a decline of just over 3% for the NASDAQ. That's a massive change for the world's largest tech company, and something that won't be easily altered by a slightly thinner screen or an enhanced version of Siri. Apple bulls will claim that the hardware has already been perfected, and Apple is just tweaking it. That may be true, but consumers are always dazzled by the latest and greatest gadgets, which Apple has done so often in the past. There's a reason why the iPad, which revolutionized the tablet market, outsells offerings by Amazon ( AMZN), Google ( GOOG), and Microsoft ( MSFT). It's a relatively new product, whereas the iPhone has been around for half a decade, and has largely dominated mindshare. Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White believes Apple could move away from the traditional black and white iPhone color schemes, and also offer different sizes. "Our checks are pointing to more choices on the way with the next iPhone with expanded color options and screen sizes," he wrote, in a note. "By providing customers with greater choices with the same high quality performance of the iPhone, we believe Apple has the potential to further expand its market share in the rapidly expanding smartphone world." I'm highly skeptical Apple would have multiple sized phones, as the company likes to keep its SKUs relatively small, but adding to the color scheme (perhaps pink, green or red) might freshen it up a bit. Of course, this is just a cosmetic change, and not anything drastic.

Topic: Husband newly diagnosed
Hi all,
My husband was just diagnosed mid August and our doctor here in Atlanta has referred us to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN (Dr. Gregory Gores). We will start with a week of test next week at Mayo and don't know where the road will take us. I feel fortunate to have found this site - so much information - such kind and caring people. I will post our progress.
Thank you again to all. Jan

Plus you could have something to play catch with while waiting for people or walking down a fairway.
You couldn't do the last sentence in a tournament since every toss would be a practice throw that you should get penalized a stroke for. I did use my Zephyr during the last round of the Mocassin Lake Open in 2009 because I was playing terribly and had nothing better to do. My approaches with it were generally quite good and I probably would have shaved 7-10 strokes off my total tournament score if I had used it all weekend since pretty much everything else I did sucked. If I ever have a bag that would make it convenient to carry an Ultrastar I might do so simply for the sake of sharp anhyzer approaches.

Prostatitis: Pre- and Post-Massage TestSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
The pre- and post-massage test is a simple, inexpensive test that may help diagnose the type of prostatitis you have.
- First, your penis will be cleaned to eliminate any bacteria, then you will give a urine sample (pre-massage sample).
- The doctor will ask you to stop urinating and bend over so your prostate can be massaged to collect secretions from your prostate gland. The doctor does this by inserting a gloved finger into your rectum and pressing several times on your prostate.
- You will then be asked to provide another urine sample (post-massage sample).
The two urine samples and, if possible, a sample prostate secretion, are examined for bacteria or cells that point to inflammation (leukocytes).
- If bacteria are found in the post-massage (or prostate secretion) sample, you may have chronic bacterial prostatitis.
- If cells that point to inflammation are found in the post-massage (or prostate secretion) sample, you may have inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
- If no bacteria or cells that point to inflammation are found in the post-massage (or prostate secretion) sample, you may have noninflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
There are other possible results, and the test may not always give a clear answer.

FOREST Green's match at home to Barnet on Saturday isn't expected to go ahead despite a referee's inspection passing a soggy New Lawn pitch fit today, Friday.
As it stands, Forest Green's match against Barnet FC at The New Lawn on Saturday is still on, but a second pitch inspection will take place at 8.30am tomorrow morning.
Forest Green boss Ady Pennock, groundsman Stewart Ward and a local referee inspected the pitch at lunchtime, but with heavy overnight rain due and another downpour tomorrow, the match is expected to be postponed.

Here we are, having just finished opening the gifts and digested our turkey and egg nog, and harsh reality must intrude. I am not referring to the fiscal cliff, which of course will capture the headlines for the rest of the week. While the decoy debate continues in Washington (and Hawaii), real companies are operating in the real economy, attempting to earn real profits, which will support real stock prices.
Along with profits come profit warnings, and in a week we will be entering "pre-announcement" season, that sad time of the quarter when management teams confess that earnings are not going to meet the Street's expectations. We might get a few before Dec. 31, since the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that any material change in outlook be disclosed when known. However, most management teams are aware of the implication of blowing up their stock price right before quarterly and annual fund performance is calculated...and right before annual bonuses are calculated.
There is no better way to garner the favor of Wall Street than to avoid potentially causing your shareholders to lose that annual bonus. (And lest you think I am overreacting, I had a colleague who once lost his annual bonus because a pre-announcement from CA Technologies (CA) on the last day of the year swung his fund from outperforming to underperforming. They couldn't wait a couple days. Once you lose a year, you do not get it back.) So, among the companies that will miss, the vindictive managements may announce it this week, but most will start pre-announcing next week.
The more important point is how to avoid owning those names that could blow up on you. The revision trend in earnings-per-share (EPS) estimates is a great starting point. Below is a list of names whose fourth-quarter EPS has been revised down greater than 10% this quarter. These are names you probably shouldn't own -- or if you do, you better have a high conviction reason to do so.
I found two surprises that stood out while I was compiling the list. First, I was shocked at how long it is. Typically, I see 50 or so names with that magnitude of downward revision. The length of the list gives me pause. Perhaps the economy is not as good as consumer sentiment indicators and the like would imply. Second, I was surprised by how short the retail list is! Late reports are that this will be a weak holiday season, so retail should be a minefield. Having said that, actual performance is only half the equation: Expectations are the other half. Clearly analysts have been worried about the environment, so, quite possibly, expectations are already sufficiently low that anything short of a disaster could support retail stocks.
Here is the list. Study it closely during this quiet time between holidays!

Melvin confident Anderson will start Wednesday
ST. PETERSBURG -- Left-hander Brett Anderson threw what Bob Melvin described as "a very aggressive side" before Sunday's game against the Rays, leaving the A's manager with "a good feeling he will be able to pitch Wednesday."
The A's were worried that Anderson, who left Friday night's loss to the Rays after the first inning because of a sprained right ankle, might have to miss his next start.
"We made him go after it like he was in an actual game," Melvin said after Sunday's bullpen session. "And he felt nothing.
"We pushed him through the rigors today. Now we just have to wait and see how he feels tomorrow."
Just in case a problem arises, however, Dan Straily will probably be held out of his scheduled start for Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday. Should there be a setback Monday with Anderson's ankle, Straily would likely be the pitcher called up to replace him.
Anderson, 1-3, has allowed 11 runs in his past 4 2/3 innings and his ERA has jumped to 5.95.

Chinese New Year fascinated William H. Brewer, especially the part that involved firecrackers.
He had come to California in 1860 to work with the state geologist, Josiah Dwight Whitney, to make a survey of the state. For four years, the geological team traveled up and down California, and Brewer described what he saw in letters to his brother in New York.
On Jan. 29, 1862, he was in San Francisco.
"Wednesday was the Chinese New Year and such a time as they have had! I will bet that over 10 tons of firecrackers have been burned. This is their great day of the year. They claim that their great dynasty began 17,500 and some odd years ago, a pedigree that beats even that of the first families of Virginia," he wrote.
It rained a lot in March. Lowlands flooded. Muddy roads made travel impossible. Back in San Francisco again, Brewer complained to his brother that the Chinese never learned the language or adopted Western ways.
"He comes to make money and return. Even if he dies here his body is returned and buried in the celestial land. Dead Chinamen form an important form of freight on every ship leaving this port for China."
Brewer then described what he found particularly strange.
"Men wear their long hair braided into a tail, which is either done up around the head or hangs down to the heels behind. A man losing his tail falls into disgrace upon returning to his own country and it is made a crime under the laws of this state for anyone to cut off a Chinaman's tail."
Brewer went to a Protestant mission station for the Chinese immigrants and attended a chapel service. He was the only white man there and the service was all in Chinese.
"In front of me sat a rich Chinese merchant, his fingernails an inch long looking like the talons of a bird of prey."
He couldn't figure out the plot, but enjoyed himself thoroughly even though he found the musical accompaniment, which included gongs, drums, cymbals and a "guitar-like instrument," extremely noisy and without any melody.
In February 1863, he was again amazed by the Chinese New Year's celebration.
"The festival lasts two weeks, but the police grant them the privilege of firing firecrackers only three days. … I thought I had seen firecrackers before, but became convinced that I had not. … On the top of a store is a crowd of 20 or 30 men (Chinese). Packs of crackers are lighted, hurled in the air, and allowed to fall in the street. A part of the time 12 men are lighting and throwing out the packs, a 100 crackers in explosion at each instant, making a continuous roar that can be heard all over the city."
Brewer's letters were published in a book, "Up and Down California" in 1930 by Yale University Press. Since then the University of California Press has republished the book several times.

A public meeting with the provocative title Otley - Just Another Suburb? will be held in the town this month.
Campaign group Otley Development Disgrace (ODD) has organised the event to discuss the implications of the Leeds Local Development Framework for the local community.
Since starting up at the end of 2013 ODD has repeatedly warned that the recommended housing targets being set would see Otley experience a 20 per cent, "unsustainable" increase in size.
The meeting, which takes place at Otley Methodist Church at 7.30pm on Monday, March 31, will include short presentations on:
- the expected 20 per cent population increase and its likely impact
- the objectives of the campaign
- the experience of neighbouring communities in Menston and Guiseley.
MP Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) will also speak.
Further invitations have been sent to Leeds City Council's chief executive Tom Riordan, Otley's town and ward councillors, MP Kris Hopkins (Con, Keighley) and David Ingham from Wharfedale and Airedale Review Development.
A spokesman for ODD, which says it has already amassed a large numbers of signatures for its petition objecting against the scale of new housing, said: "This week Otley featured in the Sunday Times list of the 101 best places to live.
"The current Local Development Framework plans would ensure this was no longer the case.
"The aims of this first public meeting are to gain more publicity, galvanise public engagement, ensure the support of our elected representatives, and to apply pressure to the Leeds planners and widen participation in the campaign."

Just piggybacking off of Pecks' JFK assisantion thread. (I think an alien topic would be good too)
Do you believe in ghosts?
I'm interested in hearing some stories from people about situations they've been in. I've never personally had any experiences, although I really want to. I've almost started doubting myself already if it did though, thinking that maybe my mind will invent something that isn't there, because I would like for it to happen.
My gf and I have been on a Ghost Adventures/Dead Files/Ghost Hunters/My Ghost Story Caught on Camera kick here for the past month or so. It's fully understood that those shows could easily be faked. I'm not sure, to be honest, although I tend to lean it's real. (Maybe not all the show, but the basis) Everytime I say I believe it, I feel dumber. Maybe that should be a hint.
Any thoughts?

Ben wrote:Can you explain what you mean by "faith"?
I think there's already been quite a bit written about this topic by authors such as Ven. Bodhi. I recognize that it's something of a hot-button issue for some people Ben, and I'm not sure that there's much I can add except to suggest that there is a whole spectrum of reasonable, intelligent saddhā that doesn't resort to what is pejoratively referred to as "blind faith," but is still faith in something which is beyond the sphere of certain confirmation via our current perceptions. Primarily, faith requires believing in the awakening of the Buddha. SN 55.37:
- "In what way, venerable sir, is a lay follower accomplished in faith?"
"Here, Mahānāma, a lay follower is a person of faith. He places faith in the enlightenment of the Tathāgata thus: 'The Blessed One is ... teacher of devas and humans, the Enlightened One, the Blessed One.' In that way a lay follower is accomplished in faith."
And faith in the Tathāgata is connected to hearing the dhamma; i.e. it's not something that we can confirm with our worldly perceptions. MN 112:
- Friends, formerly when I lived the home life I was ignorant. Then the Tathāgata or his disciple taught me the Dhamma. On hearing the Dhamma I acquired faith in the Tathāgata.
Also, it's only with the attainment of stream-entry that one's faith becomes confirmed, unshakable confidence (aveccapassāda). Until this noble stage is attained, not only are we are going to have to deal with the fetter of doubt, we are going to have to continually seek refuge in an authority that is more reliable than our own deluded perceptions.

WILTSHIRE Police Deputy Chief Constable Mike Veale is taking part in an epic cycle challenge to raise money for the hospital where his wife received treatment for breast cancer.
Mr Veale set off on Wednesday on the 280-mile ride from London to Paris in aid of the oncology unit at Yeovil Hospital.
He said: "I have never embarked upon such a physically challenging escapade in my adult life and neither have my four comrades who remarkably all volunteered to join in with the crusade. The treatment my family has received from the unit has been world class; we will never forget the kindness and warmth offered by so many.
"The NHS takes a lot of criticism but those who work there are fantastic and have left us in no doubt that the health service is something we should all be proud of.
"The support I've had throughout the training has been incredible and I would like to thank everyone in advance for their donations and kind words."

Topic: Things You Would Like to Know About My Hospital Visit For 2nd Opinion.
Hi, everyone,
Something you would like to know what I have learned as a CCA patient for 2nd opinions. 1/1/2012
1. Choose a hotel that you can walk to the hospital.(within a couple blocks or they can provide rides .)
2. Try to pre- arrange the time of your tests(labs, MRI etc.) as close to each other as possible; especially those tests that need fasting; have a couple hours of rest before you see the specialists so you are not tired and forget the questions you want to asked; or do all the tests on the first day and see the doctors the next day. This way you can maximize the benefits of 2nd opinion consultation.
3. Type your questions on paper and give him a copy so he can answer each one by one; you should also have a copy on hand and if you don't understand what he/she said. ask them again. Most doctors over 50 years old prefer no recording, so make sure you ask first.
4. For CCA patients ,seeing a GI specialist who specialized in the liver and biliary system--a hepatologist FIRST is the best bet in my judgement even if you do know where to start. He can confirm a correct diagnosis first and refer you to surgical, medical oncology and radiation oncology for 2nd opinions if needed therefore you will not waste your time on other consultations first.
5. You need to bring along a caregiver to help you; this is a MUST even you think you can do it all.
6. At the end, make sure you get all the copies of the tests report and Scan disk for you OWN record; they will mail reports and scan disc, pathology slides back to your hospital and doctor too.
7. Do not get too down or too excited when you hear the results. Have a safe trip home first.
8. Chemo sensitivity report is of no use to medical oncology yet due to lack of PROVEN value-a bit surprise to me from the mouth of an oncology expert I consulted with.
9. mTOR and AKt are among the pathways that look promising in research for CCA patients for new Targeted drugs development at this time.
10. Sorafenib- a multi-pathway targeted agent may be of value for CCA patients.
11. In general, Gem/Cis is on the top of the list to start for CCA patients unless clinical trial are suggested; GEMOX is ok if you can't tolerate Gem/Cis. Xeloda(capecitabine) by mouth twice daily for up to 6 month for recently resected patients is appropriate. if tumor recur after Xeloda treatment failed; Gem/Cis is the next step.
12. Finally ,if you are only allowed ONE consultation or 2nd opinion; in my opinion, the hepatologist consult is more worthwhile than oncologist consult for 2nd opinion. I think most of the local oncologists doing a good job at choosing the appropriate chemo treatment since the choices are very limited for CCA patients unless clinical trial is on the top of your wishing list.
God bless.

| DENVER, CO – December 12, 2013 – The NCAA selected Denver to host the 2015 NCAA Men's Lacrosse Quarterfinals, which will be held at the home of the Denver Outlaws, Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Denver Gaining Reputation as Lacrosse City
The lacrosse selection continues Denver's growing reputation as one of the great lacrosse cities of America. In the last nine years, Denver has hosted three Major League Lacrosse All-Star Games, two National Lacrosse League All-Star Games, and in 2014 will host the FIL World Lacrosse Championships.
The bid to host the event was submitted by Denver Sports, an affiliate of VISIT DENVER, in partnership with the University of Denver Athletics and Recreation, Sports Authority Field at Mile High, the Denver Broncos and Denver Outlaws. The 2015 NCAA Men's Lacrosse Quarterfinals will be played in Sports Authority Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Outlaws.
"We are thrilled the NCAA has entrusted Denver to host this event," said Ken Chin, executive director of Denver Sports. "This decision is a testament to the hard work put forth by our city's grassroots lacrosse community, Denver's two professional lacrosse teams – the Denver Outlaws and the Colorado Mammoth – and to the lacrosse program built by the University of Denver Pioneers head lacrosse coach, Hall of Famer, Bill Tierney."
Assisting in the bid was Bill Tierney, legendary head lacrosse coach of the University of Denver Pioneers, who said, "Everyone associated with lacrosse in Denver should be very excited about this announcement, and I thank all that worked so hard to make it happen. The opportunity to host such meaningful Division I games in the NCAA Tournament is something we will embrace to make the experience second to none. Our guests, visitors and television viewers will assuredly get to find out why Denver is truly 'The Lacrosse Capital of the West."
According to Chin, the popularity of lacrosse in Colorado has been exploding in recent years. The Denver Outlaws have led the MLL in attendance for seven straight years and there are now more than 11,600 Colorado students playing lacrosse, almost double the amount in 2006. "The increasing popularity of lacrosse in Colorado was one of the key factors in Denver being chosen to host the 2014 FIL World Lacrosse Championships, and no doubt also played a significant role in the NCAA's selection today," Chin said.
He added that being strongly associated with a growing sport is a real positive for the city. "Denver will receive national television coverage and exposure from both the FIL World Lacrosse Championships and NCAA Men's Lacrosse Quarterfinals, and we're confident our local lacrosse community will come out and support both of these events."

NFA or Not
Would a Mac 11/9 pistol with attached stock, fore grip & 8" barrel extension fall under the description of an NFA firearm.
New rulings in August of this year are very confusing when describing pistols assembled from parts. My interpretation of the new ruling is this type of weapon would not fall under NFA guidelines.
Any legal educated gun owners out there with an answer?

If the barrel extension brings the overall barrel length to 16" and is "permanently attached" per NFA guidelines, then you can add a stock to it. As long as the overall length of the firearm is greater than 26" then you have a Title 1 rifle. No worries about running afoul of NFA rules.
However, you HAVE to have a barrel of 16" or more. A barrel extension, to be considered part of the barrel, must be "permanently attached" and there are 3 ways of accomplishing that outlined by the ATF.

The county's business and veterans councils have drawn a line in the sand against open space advocates in Fort Ord.
The Monterey County Business Council and United Veterans Council of Monterey are encouraging their members and the public not to sign a petition to stop development on 540 acres of the former military base.
The groups contend the petition by the Fort Ord Access Alliance calls for actions that will result in a proposed veterans cemetery not being built and other negative outcomes.
The alliance said late Tuesday the allegation that it is anti-veteran was "ludicrous" and the groups misinterpreted its plan.
Regardless, the business and veterans councils plan to release a competing petition this week.
"The people with the petitions claim that they are not anti-veteran and this so-called 'access' initiative doesn't touch the veterans cemetery or the cemetery endowment parcel," a flyer given to both groups' members says. "Do not be fooled!"
The Fort Ord Access Alliance, which began collecting some 17,000 signatures two weeks ago, says recreation opportunities brought by open space plans will "bolster" the local economy.
Its plan sections off areas as open space north of the proposed cemetery. The plan does not touch the cemetery or endowment parcel, which could be sold to a developer to pay for upkeep of the cemetery.
Yet the councils interpret the plan differently, saying the open-space designation of the areas around the cemetery and endowment will impede development in the endowment and stop the creation of a planned road through the area.
Alliance spokesman Jason Campbell said getting rid of the cemetery was "completely contrary" to what was written in the petition, and he planned on reaching out to the councils to see if he could "come by and personally explain this."
Jack Stewart, judge advocate of the United Veterans Council of Monterey County, said Tuesday that county veterans felt "enough is enough" with the alliance petition.
In addition to concern over losing the cemetery, he said veterans care about the economic concerns of surrounding cities.
He said cities are in a financial "crunch" and the alliance's petition would impede their ability to gain money from development.
There is still much confusion over exactly what would happen to the proposed road, the Eastside Parkway, through much of the area.
The councils say the alliance petition would stop its construction. Campbell said he was not sure what would happen with it.
The staff of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority said in November that the road could still be built through open space, according to emails between the county staff and County Administrative Officer Lew Bauman.
"According to FORA staff, 'open space' does not mean 'no roads, parking lots, certain structures, etc.,'" read one email obtained by The Herald.
A rough plan for the counter petition is to include language to ensure the cemetery is built, that there will remain an endowment parcel, that the Eastside Parkway is constructed and that more open space will be added in Fort Ord, said Mary Ann Leffel, president of the business council.
She said a counter proposal was needed to stop the constant fighting over what to do with Fort Ord land.
"If we are ever going to fix anything," she said, "we need to stop talking about the same five things for 20 years."
The framework of the counter proposal was proposed by the veterans council, which counts 32 veterans groups in the county as member organizations. The board of the business council voted unanimously last week to oppose the alliance's petition and support the veterans.
Stewart said the final draft of the petition should be completed by late Wednesday.

Latos feeling comfortable in second spring camp
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The getting acquainted portion of his time with the Reds has long since passed for starting pitcher Mat Latos. Last spring, he arrived in the major off-season trade to help the club, making him the new kid on the block.
Latos, who made his spring debut with two scoreless innings against the Royals on Friday, is more comfortable with a year on the club behind him.
"It's comforting to know what to expect from the guys I am around," Latos said.
Latos began his start with back-to-back walks before he got a fly out to left field and an inning-ending 4-6-3 double play on the ground. With one exception, he threw all strikes in the second inning and allowed only a two-out double by Xavier Nady before escaping. Latos felt like he made the right adjustment in the second.
"I stayed on a straight line," said Latos, who threw 24 pitches overall, including 17 strikes. "Throwing in the first inning with a little adrenaline, I kind of opened up the front shoulder a little bit."
During his first season with Cincinnati, Latos was 14-4 with a 3.48 ERA, and his 33 starts and 209 1/3 innings pitched were both career highs.
The first month was rocky as Latos had a 5.97 ERA in five April starts before straightening out and finishing strong the rest of the way.
"A struggle early is better than a struggle late," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "You're going to struggle. If you don't struggle, you don't win 20 games. You're going to struggle some if you win 20 games. I will just take more of the same. That's pretty good for a kid, to be 14-4 and struggle."

AN Alresford auction house looks set to collapse into receivership, its manager has told the Hampshire Chronicle.
Prospect Auction Rooms, off New Farm Road, has ceased trading – owing thousabnds of pounds to a number of people or holding their unsold goods in its building.
Among the customers are people who have sold their recently deceased parent's possessions and await payment. One woman, who asked not to be named, said: "I'm devastated. It is all about trust."
Auctions due to have been held on November 10 and 24 were cancelled. Around six members of staff have been made redundant, said Charles Evans, its manager.
Mr Evans said: "What's happening? It is just about to go into receivership. I feel absolutely sick about it. But it is not my fault; look at the state the country is in. We are not the only business to close up."
He blamed the recession and fewer house sales: "Stuff to sell is not coming into the business. Why has it dropped off? I don't know. People are not dying, people are not moving house."
Mr Evans said he was unaware of how much money he owed to customers. "I will have to sit down with my accountant. I am trying to pay people off. If I had the money I would do."
Mr Evans also blamed nearby competitor Andrew Smith and Son, based at Itchen Stoke, moving into general sales auctions several months ago.
"This has put me under so much stress, it's unbelievable. I have tried my hardest to keep the place going. I am so sorry that it has not worked out, but it is not my fault that receivers will have to come in."
But Mr Evans said customers who had left goods to be sold would be able to retrieve their possessions: "People will be able to go and get their stuff. A note will be left on the gate with a date for people to come. It will be before the receivers go in."
One angry customer was Joan Davis, of Fleming Road, Weeke. Her 75-piece Royal Worcester china collection sold at auction at Prospect in September for £190 and she had yet to see her money.
Mrs Davis said: "It is not good. They have never given me any information. It is very poor. The money was going to help go towards Christmas. But what can you do about it?"
The business opened on Prospect Road in 2009.
Janice Smith, managing director of Winchester Auctions Rooms, part of Andrew Smith and Sons, based at Itchen Stoke disputed that they were to blame.
"We have always done Saturday sales. We have expanded recently because of the quantity of things coming through the door and opened a second showroom in August. I don't think we made any difference to his business. I think he was on the way out before that.
"He opened on our doorstep in 2009 which was a bit naughty. He did not have to be quite so close. I think he was trying to get some spin-off from the fact we were established here.
"I'm not surprised he has gone. I don't understand why people went to him. We have always been in that market. We have been waiting for him to go and we are surprised it has taken so long.
"We are getting a lot of people coming in saying 'what can we do?'" added Mrs Smith.

Cosmopolitan designer Douglas Allen is always a stranger, yet always at home
MARK STOKES | Illustrator
Name and age: Douglas Allen, 48
Spotted at: Carlisle and Knight, walking his beagle, Belle
Occupation: Designer
Dallas is the landing pad for this world-traveling designer, who splits his time between the Big D, San Francisco, Chicago and London. This grey-topped quadragenarian certainly doesn't blend in with his heavy black frames set against thick salt-and-pepper hair.
Born in Alabama, at 14 Douglas moved with his family to Saudi Arabia — the first leg of a life-long journey that has led him across the globe and back, and continues today. He speaks Arabic, French, Italian and a bit of Swedish. His trek continues next month, when he leaves for Cartagena, Colombia, where he's designing a home interior. As soon as it gets hot, he's off to London.
Definitely a character, for three months in London he only wore pajamas. "I threw a proper English summer jacket over them when I went out. I got some interesting looks."
Grey hares: Inspired by Bugs Bunny, Douglas' musical instrument of choice is a ukulele. He began playing on a whim. His favorite tunes include "Aba Daba Honeymoon" (a turn-of-the-century musical composed by Arthur Fields) and Hawaiian medleys.
Social currency: Douglas doesn't take much of an interest in money, fancy clothes or the trappings of excess. He uses what he calls "social currency," a value that is unquantifiable. With roots everywhere and friends scattered all over the far-flung corners of the world, Douglas says, "I'm always a stranger, yet always home."
His philosophy: "There is only one person, one power, one life, and each of us is a finger puppet on a big hand. Don't freak out over the journey or circumstance of your finger puppet identity because in reality you are the big hand. Accept 100 percent where you are. Don't resist. Accept and let go. That is the only way forward and out."

Wedge happy for much-needed off-day
SEATTLE -- Mariners manager Eric Wedge won't miss April, at least not its scheduling. The Mariners had one -- count 'em, one -- off-day in the month on April 15. They opened on the road and after sets in Oakland and Chicago, the Mariners played on the season's first 14 days. Thursday's off-day to travel to Toronto ends a streak of games on 16 consecutive days, from Seattle to Arlington, Texas, to Houston and back.
"These guys need it," Wedge said of the day off. "They've fought through it, in tough fashion ... and now we are most definitely headed in the right direction.
"Now we are going to have some sensible time off, instead of the ridiculous time we didn't have off this past month."
Wedge said he's never had a month scheduled like that, at any level of baseball.
"No one has," he said.

This sweet & spicy BBQ sauce makes a great burger better.
When I first experimented with this recipe, I was preparing it for a small dinner party/ BBQ that we were having with some friends.
A great fresh flavored burger to enjoy in the summer heat.
My Father is a chef. We grew up with him teaching us to cook, dishwash and wait tables.
After Hurricane Katrina hit our cooking resources were limited, so we cooked on our grills alot!!
Growing up on our weekend farm I experienced the joy of a garden full of fresh vegetables. There is nothing like eating tender corn on the cob, green onions, and fresh jalapeños.

"I thought that Andrew played his best game of the year," Stevens said. "And we needed everything. We needed every bit of it."
Stevens talked about how his team played much better the last 32 minutes than the initial eight and Smith was indicative of that momentum swing. At halftime, the 6-foot-11 senior center had as many fouls (three) as he did rebounds. But the second half was an entirely different story.
"It was a very physical game and they adjusted to that better than we did," Wildcat coach Bill Carmody said. "Smith dominated. It's a good lesson for our two freshmen centers."
Northwestern went to a spread-out 1-3-1 zone defense, which opened space for Smith and his back-up, junior Erik Fromm, to have some room to crash the boards.
Smith totaled 10 rebounds, including eight offensive boards, while Fromm pulled down eight of his own.
"Andrew came up with huge rebounds," Stevens said. "That is sometimes what you give up when you are really extending that zone. Andrew was pretty forceful in going after the ball."
Smith wasn't just forceful in the post; he made a spectacular maneuver midway through the second half, which squelched a Northwestern (7-3) run.
The Wildcats had trimmed their deficit to 44-39 with 11:42 remaining in the game, when Smith took a pass from Roosevelt Jones (10 points, five rebounds, three assists) to stretch the lead to 46-39.
A few possessions later, Smith was near the top of the key and lunged out into the passing lane to knock a Northwestern pass loose. As the ball bounced toward the Bulldog (7-2) basket, Smith outran Wildcat point guard Dave Sobolewski, picked up his dribble and streaked toward the basket, throwing down a vicious dunk.
The basket was part of nine consecutive points by Smith and stretched the Butler lead to 53-42 with just over eight minutes remaining.
"Andrew was rolling late," Stevens said.
Smith finished with 24 points, one shy of his career best. In fact, he could've easily topped the mark. On the final possession of the game, Smith made another steal and had a breakaway lay-in if he chose to, but pulled up and didn't try to score.
His 10 rebounds were also just three shy of his best effort yet.
"You can't get your motivation from scoring points," Stevens said. "You get your motivation from playing good basketball and that's what most of these guys do."
The Bulldogs will have the week off until Saturday's contest against No. 1-ranked Indiana in the Crossroads Classic (2 p.m., CBS) at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
"I haven't seen anybody better (than Indiana)," Stevens said. "They are outstanding. We'll have our hands full preparing for that."
Also contributing in the victory were Butler senior guard Rotnei Clarke (13 points, three assists), and Kellen Dunham (11 points, five rebounds).
Former Snider High School standout Reggie Hearn was solid for Northwestern. He finished the night with 13 points, six rebounds, and a pair of steals in 39 minutes of playing time.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - First-inning pitching difficulties did in the Mississippi State baseball team again Sunday afternoon.
The 16th-ranked Bulldogs walked three in the first inning and allowed three runs before recording an out at Baum Stadium. The early cushion would be enough for No. 11 Arkansas to take a 3-1 Southeastern Conference victory on Easter Sunday.
With the series-clinching victory, Arkansas improved to 21-8 overall and 6-3 in league play, while MSU fell to 23-8 and 3-6. The Razorbacks have now five straight series from the Bulldogs.
"We are not pitching well enough in the first inning," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "Our bullpen is as great as anybody in the nation. We will find the right guy. (Regular starter) Jacob Lindgren not being able to start (due to injury) really hurt us today. We were also without (catcher) Mitch Slauter (due to illness).
"That is not an excuse. We just simply have to keep people from scoring in the first inning. We have to find a way to get off to better starts."
MSU pitching has allowed 35 runs in nine conference games this season. Of those 35 runs, 10 have scored in the first inning. In five of their last six conference games, the Bulldogs have allowed a first-inning score by the opponent.
Ben Bracewell drew his first start of the season for the Bulldogs. Bracewell (0-1) failed to get an out, allowing two walks and two hits in the first inning. Ross Mitchell entered in relief. Mitchell walked in a run and then got a double play ball, which pushed the Razorbacks' lead to 3-0.
The early offense would be more than enough for the Arkansas trio of Randall Fant, Jalen Beeks and Colby Suggs. Fant (2-0) allowed four hits over six innings of work. Beeks threw two innings, while Suggs (three saves) worked around a leadoff error to record a scoreless ninth inning.
"It is really disappointing," Cohen said. "The defense did an exceptional job. Nobody in the country played any better defense than we did this week. You just can't walk people. We have to manufacture things and find pitchers who will challenge the strike zone."
Mitchell threw 6.1 innings in relief, allowing four hits with two strikeouts and two walks. Chad Girodo retired the only batter he faced, while Jonathan Holder faced four batters in 1.1 innings of relief work.
The Bulldogs broke up the shutout on Wes Rea's second home run of the season in the fourth inning. Rea had two of MSU's five hits. Hunter Renfroe was hitless as his 15-game hit streak ended.
Jake Wise had two of Arkansas' six hits.
MSU remains on the road for a 6:30 p.m. start Tuesday against South Alabama. Conference play returns to Dudy Noble Field next weekend when Florida comes to town. The Bulldogs and Gators are scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. Friday, 3 p.m. Saturday (Cox Sports and CSS) and 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Name Pronunciation-Mardou
I am just pregnant with #3 and DH and I are starting to get serious about names for this little one.
We have had the name Mardou chosen as our girl name since we read The Subterraneans way back in college where we met. We both love it, but I am really stuck on being sure of the pronunciation.
Does anyone know if it is Mar-doo or Mar-dough?
I would be so excited for anyone who is able to answer this for me!!
September 25th, 2013 11:35 PM #3
I haven't read "The Subterraneans", but Mardou looks French so I'd say "mar-doo". An "ou" sound rarely makes an "ough" sound in English or any other language I can think of. Is there a movie/TV series you can refer to to hear how they pronounce the character's name?~Love names, literature, royals and horses~ <3
Favourite names:
Girls: Azalea, Cordelia, Elizabeth, Rosalind, Scarlett, Felicity, Juliet
Boys: Fitzwilliam, Sebastian, Percival, Oliver, Darcy, Orlando
September 25th, 2013 11:54 PM #5
I would say Mar-doo too.I love names so much that I started a blog and wrote a book.

Cardinals Activate David Freese For Home Opener
The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to today's home opener against the Cincinnati Reds that they have activated third baseman David Freese from the 15-day disabled list and optioned infielder Ryan Jackson to Memphis (AAA). Freese had been on the disabled list since March 23 due to a lower back strain.
Freese appeared in three games at Memphis this past weekend in an injury rehabilitation assignment and batted .333 (4-for-12) with two doubles and four RBI. He was 3-for-5 in yesterday's series finale against Oklahoma City.

Dear Members,
Today I watched Youtube and saw the news about an amazing 3-yrs-old boy who loves to "play" monk. His play started quite early, when he was only 8 months old!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uQl233A ... re=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtQ9VhYp ... re=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z03ofTK9 ... re=related
This little boy's name is Khumpii(Khumpii means Buddha's bible) Sinthusut; he is 3 yrs old now. Khumpii loves to "play monk", and his acting has been more serious than a child play! For example, early in the morning he carries a bowl to receive alms-food from his grandma. After he has got his food, he then chants a Pali blessing. Khumpii is fond of listening to the monks'chanting at a nearby temple; he normally stays with the monks after coming back from school. His extraordinary faith in the Buddha has been amazing; once he even went to sit alone in front of the Buddha statue in the temple,all by himself. The delighted Abbot then gave him a samanera robe as a gift. It is one of his favorite things to wear after school.
This little boy can chant many Buddha's Pali-Gathas real well, and he loves to play monk for people in his neighborhood as you may have seen in the Youtube clips.
He can't be ordained yet, because he's only 3 yrs old (must be 7 yrs old to be a samanera).
Believe it or not!!
yawares loves this little boy 'play' monk.

Department of Speech Communication and Theatre establishes E.L. Alesandrini Award for Excellence
The Department of Speech Communication and Theatre at Muskingum College has established the E.L. Alesandrini Award for Excellence, in recognition of more than 30 years of service as a educator and supporter of forensics by Associate Professor of Speech Gene Alesandrini.
The award will be given to the student who demonstrates excellence in limited preparation speaking events, service to the forensics community and the college and outstanding character and integrity.
The inaugural award was granted to junior speech communication and philosophy major Kevin Triskett, who is from Euclid. While competing in limited preparation speaking, Triskett has excelled for three years, and this year earned the Ohio Forensics Association (OFA) state championship for Muskingum College in impromptu speaking. He also qualified for both the American Forensics Association and National Forensics Association in all limited preparation events.
Triskett also has achieved distinction in Pi Kappa Delta, the national speech honorary, and last year was the first recipient of The Ohio State University Courage in Forensics Award.
Alesandrini's many teaching and forensics coaching assignments include more than 20 years as extemporaneous speaking at the college. An accomplished forensics competitor in his own right, he was 1970 national champion in extemporaneous speaking in high school competition
He became the first scholarship student at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois to compete in individual events, helping to expand Bradley's forensics program to include individual events. In Ohio forensics, Alesandrini was the first recipient of the OFA Educator of the Year award.
He also has hosted the Charity Invitational every year since 1995, raising thousands of dollars and changing lives through Jacob's Fund, a fund he and his wife, Joyce, established to benefit parents who have lost children at birth. In addition, his small group communication class at the college has coordinated service learning projects since 1987, raising thousands of dollars for a variety local and national charities.
Alesandrini joined the Muskingum College faculty in 1987. He received his bachelor's degree from Bradley University and has master's degree from Eastern Michigan University.

Since when does the U.S. have a "broken food system," as claimed by the Worldwatch Institute? What the U.S. has is the world's most efficient food and feed production system. What the Worldwatch Institute would prefer is inefficient worldwide agriculture similar to farming in 1952.
The activist Worldwatch Institute, based in Washington, D.C., claims climate change is making it increasingly important to protect local agriculture in the United States and address the issues underlying its vulnerability to natural disasters, such as drought.
What happened during the Dust Bowl has something to do with failure of the old-time farming practices. In my opinion, a lot of the improvements in agricultural production practices of the last 20 years are contrary to Worldwatch Institute suggestions. Modern farmers of today are protecting the environment and doing a better job of feeding an expanding world population than U.S. farmers following most of Worldwatch's outdated suggestions.
"Fixing our broken food system is about more than just food prices," said Danielle Nierenberg, director of the Worldwatch Institute's Nourishing the Planet project. "It's about better management of natural resources, equitable distribution and the right to healthy and nutritious food."
The Nourishing the Planet (www.NourishingthePlanet.org) project highlights 12 agricultural innovations that it claims can help make U.S. and global agriculture more drought resilient, as well as sustainable. (My comments about each of the 12 points are in italic type.)
1. Agroforestry: Planting trees in and around farms reduces soil erosion by providing a natural barrier against strong winds and rainfall. Tree roots also stabilize and nourish soils. The 1990 Farm Bill established the USDA National Agroforestry Center with the expressed aim of encouraging farmers to grow trees as windbreaks or as part of combined forage and livestock production, among other uses. (Pasture ground in general has some trees for livestock shade. Wind breaks are good around farm lots and houses. Trees around fields reduce the acres that can be planted, and crops grown near trees are much less productive because the trees pull nutrients and moisture.)
2. Soil management: Alternating crop species allows soil periods of rest, restores nutrients, and also controls pests. Soil amendments, such as biochar, help soils retain moisture near the surface by providing a direct source of water and nutrients to plant roots, even in times of drought. (Adding soil amendments can be good for soil, including manure, but there is the potential to overdue it and have pollutant runoff. Resting soil refers to leaving ground fallow in most agricultural terms, which would mean huge acres out of production at any one time, including acres that can produce yearly without negative consequences.)
3. Increasing crop diversity: Mono-cropping often exposes crops to pests and diseases associated with overcrowding, and can increase market dependence on a few varieties: in the United States, almost 90 percent of historic fruit and vegetable varieties have vanished in favor of mono-cultured staples such as Pink Lady apples and Yukon Gold potatoes. Encouraging diversity through agricultural subsidies and informed consumption choices can help reverse this trend and the threat it poses to domestic food security. (Crop rotation is usually a good thing, but to suggest the world is being overrun with Yukon Gold potatoes and Pink Lady apples and squeezing out other varieties seems far fetched. Then to suggest consumers should buy alternatives to these as a way to sway the market to grow some other variety is even more far fetched. I also cannot see Worldwatch Institute members wanting the government to tell them what to grow through government subsidy programs.)
4. Improving food production from existing livestock: Improved animal husbandry practices can increase milk and meat quantities without the need to increase herd sizes or associated environmental degradation. In India, farmers are improving the quality of their feed by using grass, sorghum, stover, and brans to produce more milk from fewer animals. This also reduces pressure on global corn supplies. (Animal husbandry has been improved over the years and continues and that means artificial insemination, too. Feed rations are improved and feedstocks that have potential are assessed constantly.)
5. Diversifying livestock breeds: Most commercial farming operations rely on a narrow range of commercial breeds selected for their high productivity and low input needs. Selective breeding, however, has also made these breeds vulnerable to diseases and changing environments. Lesser-known livestock such as North American Bison are often hardier and produce richer milk. (Every breed of livestock is vulnerable to major disease concerns with an example being foot and mouth disease; vulnerability is not based on whether it is an angus or charolais cow. As for the example of raising bison, anyone who has seen the effort and expense to raise this animal with its wild instincts wouldn't suggest those animals or any other wild animal as a major replacement for meat or milk.)
6. "Meatless Mondays": Choosing not to eat meat at least one day a week will reduce the environmental impacts associated with livestock as well as increase food availability in domestic and global markets. Current production methods require 7 kilograms of grain and 100,000 liters of water for every 1 kilogram of meat. Livestock production accounts for an estimated 18 percent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and roughly 23 percent of agricultural water use worldwide. (The vegetarians of the world can do as they please, but the howl against Meatless Mondays has been widely heard. Livestock producers have a lot of messages to counter this vegetarian point of view. The statement that it takes 100,000 liters of water for every kilogram of meat is outrageously high.)
7. Smarter irrigation systems: The Ogallala High Plains Aquifer, which supplies essential groundwater to many Midwestern states, is experiencing record rates of depletion due to extraction for irrigation purposes. Almost 50 percent of commercial and residential irrigation water, however, is wasted due to evaporation, wind, improper design, and overwatering. Installing water sensors or micro-irrigation technology and planning water-efficient gardens or farms using specific crops and locations can significantly reduce water scarcity problems. (Everyone should be in agreement that efficient irrigation is important for the future, and I'm glad there is mention of efficient homeowner use of water along with farmer use of water. Even if the initial install is expensive, there is the need for major upgrades to irrigation technology for field irrigation.)
8. Integrated farming systems: Farming systems, such as permaculture, improve soil fertility and agricultural productivity by using natural resources as sustainably and efficiently as possible. Research and implementation of permaculture techniques, such as recycling wastewater or planting groups of plants that utilize the same resources in related ways, are expanding rapidly across the United States. (I have to admit that I'm not up to speed on the permaculture techniques referenced, but I do know that non-commercial forms of fertilizer cannot be the whole answer to keeping soil fertility high. And soil fertility needs to be high to grow crops economically with the highest yield per dollar invested. Techniques such as using cover crops makes sense, too.)
9. Agroecological and organic farming: Organic and agroecological farming methods are designed to build soil quality and promote plant and animal health in harmony with local ecosystems. Research shows that they can increase sustainable yield goals by 50 percent or more with relatively few external inputs. In contrast, genetic engineering occasionally increases output by 10 percent, often with unanticipated impacts on crop physiology and resistance. (I certainly disagree with this point. Organic doesn't necessarily translate into a better farm and certainly not higher yields than farming using conventional pesticides. I'm a strong proponent of biotechnology improving crops, just at a faster pace than old plant and animal breeding.)
10. Supporting small-scale farmers: Existing agricultural subsidies in the United States cater disproportionately to large-scale agribusinesses, 80 percent of which produce corn for animal feed and ethanol. This means that small-scale producers are affected more acutely by natural disasters and fluctuating commodity prices, even though they are more likely to be involved in food production. Government extension and support services should be adjusted to alleviate this deficit. (Blaming corn producers for everything that happens in the pricing of every food and feed commodity grown in the U.S. is ridiculous. Large-scale production is the future, the days of the majority of feed and food coming from 80-acre family farms is gone and won't return, no matter how nostalgic Worldwatch Institute members want to be.)
11. Re-evaluating ethanol subsidies: Although ethanol's share of U.S. gasoline is still relatively small (projected at 15-17 percent by 2030), in 2009 the Congressional Budget Office reported that increased demand for corn ethanol has, at times, contributed to 10-15 percent of the rise in food prices. Encouraging clean energy alternatives to crop-based biofuels will increase the amount of food available for consumption, both at home and abroad. (There is constant discussion about how much different prices of food would be and the amount of food that would actually go to other countries if less corn was used for ethanol. It is a good thing that large-scale cellulosic ethanol production is just around the corner.)
12. Agricultural Research and Development (R&D): The share of agricultural R&D undertaken by the U.S. public sector fell from 54 percent in 1986 to 28 percent in 2009, and private research has filled the gap. Private companies, however, are often legally bound to maximize economic returns for investors, raising concerns over scientific independence and integrity. Increased government funding and support for agricultural research, development, and training programs can help address issues such as hunger, malnutrition, and poverty without being compromised by corporate objectives. (You'll never get an argument with me about the government continuing to invest in agricultural research. That investment is needed.)
Although food prices will certainly continue to rise as the current drought runs its course, it is clear that the United States has the knowledge and the know-how to make its agricultural system more sustainable and food secure. It's now a question of putting these innovations to work. (I am in agreement with the first sentence, but I don't believe the solution is putting Worldwatch's "innovations to work.")
