Story among four Rox prospects going to AFL
DENVER -- The Colorado Rockies assigned four position players to the Arizona Fall League on Tuesday. But with some of their Minor League affiliates still having a slate of playoff games to go, the Rockies held off on selecting any pitchers.
Double-A Tulsa catcher/first baseman Ryan Casteel, shortstop Trevor Story and middle infielder Taylor Featherston each were included on the 35-man roster of the AFL's Salt River Rafters. Catcher Chris O'Dowd, son of Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd, was also chosen as the "taxi squad" member of the roster, meaning he's only active Wednesdays and Saturdays.
With Double-A Tulsa winning its division in the first half of the Texas League, Class A Ashville clinching a playoff spot and the Rookie-level Grand Junction Rockies also looking likely for the postseason, the Rockies will wait on naming their four pitchers.
If their workloads permit, right-hander Jon Gray, left-hander Tyler Anderson and right-hander Eddie Butler could all be options out of Double-A Tulsa.
The Rockies originally had Anderson on their AFL roster last season before pulling him out after discovering a stress fracture in his throwing arm. Butler made his Major League debut with the Rockies earlier this season but they could be looking for him to make up lost time after he missed over a month with right shoulder inflammation.
As for the players that have been decided, Story, the Rockies' No. 11 ranked prospect, is the most notable selection.
The 21-year-old has struggled since his promotion earlier this season and is batting .200 (37-for-185) with 74 strikeouts at the Double-A level. The Rockies will be hoping to see something closer to the .332 average and 17 doubles he posted for Class A Advanced Modesto through 50 games to begin the season.
Casteel has spent his entire season in Double-A, batting .274 (113-for-413) with 21 doubles, 16 homers and 56 RBIs.
Featherston has put up similar powers numbers at the same level this year with 31 doubles and 16 homers to go along with his .257 (121-for-471) batting average.
After beginning the season with Modesto, O'Dowd has hit .261 (30-for-115) with six doubles and 15 RBIs in 33 games with Tulsa this season.
Tulsa manager Kevin Riggs will also be acting as the hitting coach for the Rafters for this upcoming AFL season.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet -- Picking a fitness related stock for your portfolio in January seems like a no brainer. Lots of people make a New Year's resolution to get fit or lose weight. So it would follow that consumers would spend more money with these companies and that would result in strong sales for the first quarter in 2013. Unfortunately that isn't the case. The only thing that will get lost is probably performance. According to USA.gov, three of the top ten resolutions are related to health matters - eating better, losing weight and getting fit. Statistic Brain said the number one resolution for 2012 was losing weight, however only 8% are successful in achieving that goal. Only half make it past six months. Weight Watchers ( WTW) stock is up 5.6% already for the year as some investors are sure that the company will deliver positive results in the first quarter. The problem is that Weight Watchers is hurting from a fundamental change in the approach to weight loss: the smart phone effect. Weight Watchers predominantly makes money off of its meeting fees and the products sold at these meetings. This source of revenue has declined as many consumers are opting for free mobile apps. Many of these apps provide support forums, goal oriented calendars and even calorie counters eliminating the need for a points program. Most people have a smart phone with them everywhere they go and it's so simple to track food intake or log exercises. Weight Watchers recognized this and didn't ignore the mobile trend. It has its own mobile offering and that includes an online meeting with fees. This feature has increased for the company, but it's less lucrative than the in person meeting. Weight Watchers is also trying to capture the corporate business, in response to wellness incentives that are part of the health care mandate. Unfortunately that is not making very much money yet and it remains to be seen if it ever will. It also doesn't help that WTW is a seasonal company and this time of the year is crucial for the company. Its main ad campaign for the beginning of 2013 was supposed to feature Jessica Simpson. Simpson is very popular and had gained lots of weight with her pregnancy. She was paid millions to star in the campaign with hopes of a Jennifer Hudson like success. The campaign has been tossed though because now Simpson is pregnant with her second child and she is officially off the diet. A pregnant Kim Kardashian offered to step in and Weight Watchers graciously declined. There is no replacement star for now and the company has lost valuable marketing time.

Is an agriculture degree a better decision than an MBA? Investment guru Jim Rogers says, "yes."
"If you've got young people who don't know what to do, I'd urge them not to get MBAs, but to get agriculture degrees," Rogers told CNBC.com.
In the CNBC report, Rogers sees the finance industry slipping into secular decline. For young people pursuing careers, farming – not finance – may be the best option.
"Finance has been good the past 30 years, but it was not good the 30 years before that, and it's happening again," Rogers said. "Finance is in decline. In the future, the center of the world will not be finance—it's going to be the producers of real goods."
Timothy Burcham, dean of agriculture and technology at Arkansas State University, agrees.
"We are going to be trying to feed 9 billion people by 2050 with the same number of acres of arable land," Burcham said. "The opportunities for a person that has a graduate degree in agriculture are great now, but they are going to be really, really excellent going into the future."
Roger's advice is in stark contrast to a 2012 Yahoo! article naming three agricultural majors as some of the most "useless" majors offered by colleges. The article prompted a number of rebuttals from across the country. Read, "Commentary: Yahoo, please don't mess with the goat ropers"
Graduates with agricultural degrees have relatively low unemployment rates, and the starting salaries for these grads do more than just pay the bills. These ag graduates are in demand, especially as technology plays a larger role in the field.

6 Ways to Harness the Wasted Energy of Trains (and Their Passengers)
For Dr. Jai Raman, an open heart was love at first sight. Twenty years later, he vividly remembers when he was a surgical resident seeing his first open chest cavity, a beating heart before him. "When I saw it, it was one of those things that was almost immediate," he says. "It grabs you."
Both Raman and the field of cardiology have come a long way since then. Raman, who is a cardiac and thoracic surgeon at the University of Chicago Medical Center, helped develop "the wrap procedure," or ventricular containment. This procedure uses a mesh bag to stop the heart from enlarging; it's mainly used in patients with heart failure. He has performed more than 2500 heart operations and more than 700 thoracic procedures (such as removal of part of a lung). Here, Raman walks us through the basics of a surgical how-to. It should go without saying, but: Don't try this at home.
Anesthetic doses given for heart surgeries are standard for any major surgery–and have a component of analgesia, sedation and paralysis. All cardiac and respiratory parameters are carefully monitored and, once the patient is under, the surgeon gets out the saw.
The heart rests beneath the sternum--the organ's skeletal armor and the central bone to which ribs are attached. Cracking this bone requires pressure, power and precision (but only about 30 seconds). The most common type of saw used in heart surgery is an oscillating saw, which moves up and down at a rapid speed and works like a jigsaw, enabling the fine blade to cut curved lines. Sometimes–especially on patients who have had heart procedures done before–surgeons will use a saw that's like the one used to remove casts. It stops immediately when it senses tissue.
Surgeons cut the sternum either completely or partially, straight down the middle, but they don't remove it. They then slowly spread apart the cut halves of the sternum with a retractor, something similar to a brace. This allows the entire chest and heart to be open before them.

I'm headed down to Atlanta this weekend. As part of the trip we'll be hitting up Six Flags Over Georgia. So, I'll finally get to ride and eventually review the new Gerstlauer coaster, Dare Devil Dive.
I'll also get some fresh rides on Goliath, currently ranked 9th on my Top Steel Coasters List as well as the classic Schwarzkopf looper Mindbender. I might even brave the rough Georgia Cyclone, but I'll likely steer clear of the punishing Vekoma looper Ninja.
I've been to Six Flags Over Georgia twice, but I'm always open to any suggestions or tips. Do you have any tips for my upcoming trip? Are there any 'perfect' seats for certain rides at the park?
New Reviews on the Way – You Pick the Coaster!
I'll try to do some tweeting while I'm at the park, so check my Twitter page (@CoasterCritic) over the weekend for mini review tweets. Then when I get back look for two or three new coaster reviews. You can help determine which three roller coasters I review other than Dare Devil Dive. I've already reviewed Superman: Ultimate Flight and Goliath. Pick up to three roller coasters that you want me to review most and I'll review them this fall and winter.
What's Your Take?
Any suggestions for my trip to Six Flags Over Georgia? Any tips for riding Dare Devil Dive? Leave a comment below.

Fast but affordable: Australian house price growth rated global leader
Australian house prices have grown faster than those in any other major economy and are forecast to outstrip even countries recovering from the GFC in 2014.
But low interest rates, high incomes and only modest employment declines mean Australian houses are still relatively affordable, says credit ratings agency Fitch.
Australian house prices have more than tripled since 1997, accelerating past other countries as the crisis bit in 2009. They fell around 4 per cent between 2011 and the middle of 2013, but have stayed above nearest rival UK and are tracking above the strong growth now being experienced in some parts of Britain.
Australia is the second least affordable country after the UK according to average house price to income ratios, but house prices compared to per capita GDP are the second most favourable, and the economy is expected to support further house price growth.
"Australian cities appear expensive relative to those in other countries," said Fitch's Global Mortgage and Housing Outlook. "The ratio has, however, been in the same range for over a decade."
But Fitch expects affordability to get worse as prices further outstrip income growth.
The report shows much of the growth in Australian house prices has not been driven by high rates of mortgage lending in recent years, with home loan growth relatively flat until the past six months.
Instead, it has been driven by a relatively buoyant economy, and housing supply not keeping up with population growth.
Many other countries are also experiencing house price hikes with record low interest rates, as well as some due to reduced house construction activity, but worries about overheating property markets appear more acute in some other countries.
The lift in house prices in the south-east of England, which is paralleling growth in Australia, is also driven by a lack of supply as well as super low interest rates.
But the Fitch report says affordability there is deteriorating fast, as incomes have quickly been left behind.
Canada, which like Australia has benefited from the resources boom, has also had a sustained rise in house prices over a decade, but with even fewer price dips.
The country also has bigger problems with over-leveraging, according to Fitch.
Mortgage lending has grown modestly in Australia since the GFC, while it has dropped sharply in many other countries. In Canada there has been no let up.
The debt to income ratio in Canada is above 180 per cent for individuals. In Australia it is about 134 per cent.
So while in Australia house prices are expected to grow moderately, with some pressure from rising unemployment rates, in Canada prices are expected to fall despite low interest rates as it is believed rates will rise again soon and home owners are even more sensitive there to interest rate rises.

Ross feeling strong as he racks up innings
PITTSBURGH -- On Wednesday, the large video board at Target Field in Minneapolis flashed the leaders in innings pitched in the National League.
Tyson Ross, who gets the start Sunday against the Pirates, was fourth with 154 2/3 innings, which is by far a career high for the Padres right-hander.
Not that he had any idea.
"I didn't know that," Ross said Friday.
Ross, who is tied with six others for the National League lead in starts (24), has already pushed past his previous career high in innings (125) from a year ago with no restrictions moving forward.
"I am aware I'm higher than I've been in the past, but I feel good, I feel strong and I actually feel like I'm getting better," Ross said. "I'm taking the season as an opportunity to learn and continue to grow. Every outing is a learning experience.
"As long as my body is feeling good … I'm looking forward to continuing to go and continuing to learn."
Only half of Ross' 24 starts have exceeded six innings. That's not by design, but more a function of how many pitches he throws. He can often find himself in high pitch counts because of strikeouts, and on those occasions when he has high walk totals.
Entering Friday, Ross was tied for fourth in the NL in strikeouts (157) and tied for sixth in walks (54).
At his current pace, Ross should eclipse the 200-inning mark, becoming just the fifth pitcher in manager Bud Black's eight seasons to do so. He would join Jake Peavy (2007), Clayton Richard (2010, 2012), Eric Stults (2013) and Jon Garland (2010).
He's holding up just fine as far as Black is concerned.
"Physically, he definitely is," Black said. "There's a mental component, too. He's built for that as well. He is a very good worker and has done a nice job repeating his delivery, which is good for a pitchers' health … He's not trying to overthrow."

DH by committee will allow respites from Trop's turf
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- A nice aspect of having a designated-hitter-by-committee situation this year is the fact that it will afford manager Joe Maddon the opportunity to rest certain players and give them a night off of Tropicana Field's artificial surface.
"[Artificial surface] on our field, what are there? Two [fields with artificial surfaces] left? Us and Toronto?" Maddon said. "And you go up there, our turf is better than their turf, a little turf war. It's even more difficult when you go up there, but if you play back-to-back series down here and then Toronto, you can really beat your body up pretty good. So I think it's really important, long-term, season [to be able to get players off the turf]. … It's not an easy surface to play on."
While getting his players off the turf occasionally is a nice offshoot of having a DH by committee, it wasn't a factor in opting to go that direction while putting together this year's roster.
"It really didn't [play into it]," Maddon said. "I'm not here to tell you that it did. It was more or less, first of all, there aren't that many of those guys out there. Next, they're expensive. It just didn't fit into everything else we were doing. So the fact that we chose to do it this way, there's also the ancillary benefit, the fact that it does keep you off your feet."

Own the Call Options Instead of the Stock
I have been advocating for the long-term purchase of various large-cap stocks that have continued to trend lower. These businesses have remained solid but the market has lost patience -- a scenario that is always exists in the stock market. Investors will indiscriminately dump shares that are performing below expectations, regardless of what long-term opportunities may manifest. To be sure, often the market is right but that is not always the case. Opportunistic investors thrive by exploiting those exceptions.
Dell (DELL) is an excellent candidate for the purchase of long-term call options. Recently trading around $9, the company's share price has slowly been nicked at as Mr. Market has no patience for Dell's transformation from a PC seller to an enterprise solution systems provider. An interesting point of reference: IBM's (IBM) metamorphosis from a seller of PCs to what it is today was nearly a decade in the making. Big Blue's transformation attracted none other than Warren Buffett as a major investor in the company. Coupled with a stock price that suggests Dell has no future, you have a founder/CEO who has furiously bought shares for himself. The company has also been buying back shares and now also yields nearly 4%....322 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [TH] Aug. 28, 2006 Black Gap Land Donations, Easement To Benefit Wildlife MARATHON, Texas -- Land donated by the Texas Bighorn Society and a conservation easement to protect adjacent private land will improve wildlife habitat management at Black Gap Wildlife Management Area and benefit multiple wildlife species in the Big Bend region, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission voted Aug. 24 to accept the land donations and the easement. The Texas Bighorn Society in March voted to donate up to $100,000 to buy inholdings (smaller parcels of private land inside the state-owned WMA) in desert bighorn sheep habitat. Department biologists and land experts created maps of the inholdings, prioritized these tracts for their wildlife value and contacted owners to negotiate purchases. To date, contracts totaling 1,380 acres have been negotiated with willing sellers. Commission approval means the department can now move forward to accept the inholdings. The Texas Bighorn Society was formed in 1981 to restore desert bighorn sheep to West Texas, and since then has invested close to $2 million in private donations. Desert bighorns were originally native to the region, but had disappeared in Texas by the 1960s due mainly to diseases transmitted by domestic sheep. Through the years, bighorn society volunteers have contributed more than 30 projects to provide water for sheep, radio telemetry equipment for monitoring bighorns, and educational programs to generate public interest in Texas bighorns, such as a Web camera at Elephant Mountain Wildlife Management Area monitored by sportsmen, schools, zoos and others via the society Web site. The society has continued to donate money, manpower and equipment to restore bighorns on private land and at public sites such as Black Gap with good sheep habitat. Although the focus is sheep, land acquisition and habitat protection made possible by society donations provide habitat and travel corridors for many other wildlife, including black bear, mule deer, and a diverse bird community. For many years, department employees have been working with private landowners, conservation groups and government on both sides of the border to increase large-scale conservation in the Big Bend region. This strategy includes acquiring inholdings at Big Bend Ranch State Park and Black Gap WMA and securing adjacent landowner cooperation. The recently approved conservation easement covers 9,470 acres of rugged habitat adjacent to and south of Black Gap on the former Adams Ranch. CEMEX USA, a Texas-based, U.S. corporation affiliated with the CEMEX family of global cement manufacturing companies, recently bought the property. The easement was donated to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, the department's official nonprofit partner. On Aug. 24, the TPW Commission approved transfer of the easement to the department. The easement permanently restricts development on the property to make sure the land fulfills habitat conservation goals, including bighorn sheep restoration and maintenance of travel corridors for wildlife moving back and forth across the Rio Grande. CEMEX USA bought the former Adams Ranch as part of a broader bi-national effort to provide wildlife habitat and travel corridors on both sides of the river throughout the Big Bend region. Across the river from Black Gap and the Adams Ranch in Coahuila, Mexico is the federal Maderas del Carmen Flora and Fauna Protected Area of approximately 513,000 acres. Here, the Mexican government, environmental conservation groups, CEMEX and others are working to protect an important ecosystem with high biodiversity. Within the Maderas del Carmen area is CEMEX's El Carmen conservation project, where the company and its partners have reintroduced desert bighorn sheep after a 60-year absence, monitored and managed the area's black bear population and founded a long-term management plan to restore an area that is home to more than 500 plant species, 400 birds, 70 mammals and 50 reptiles and amphibians. Farther west, Mexico has also established the Canon de Santa Elena Flora and Fauna Protected Area across the river from Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Also, the area between El Carmen and Santa Elena is reported to be in the planning stage to be an expansion of the total area protected on the Mexico side. Unlike U.S. parks and wildlife areas, land inside these Mexican protected areas is privately owned. This month's land and conservation easement donations follow a "land swap" last year between the department and the Texas General Land Office (GLO), one outcome of H.B. 770 passed by the Texas Legislature in 1997. The bill directed TPWD, the GLO and the School Land Board to negotiate land transactions to exchange inholdings and square up boundaries on properties held by each agency. The intent was to improve TPWD's ability to manage its land without diminishing the assets of the permanent school fund. The bottom line is by November 2005 the land office had turned over 25,943 acres to the department in exchange for 14,933 acres of TPWD land and $458,658 in cash. The Black Gap component of the transfer thus resulted in a net increase of 10,241 acres to the wildlife management area. Prior to this transaction, Black Gap was severely "checker boarded" by GLO inholdings and the adjacent GLO tract was likewise fragmented. The swap thus not only meant more land for TPWD, but it provided land with higher conservation value for bighorn sheep and other wildlife, and adjacent GLO land is now contiguous. Black Gap WMA currently contains 102,387 acres. It borders Big Bend National Park on the park's eastern boundary. The main purpose of the property is to provide a setting for wildlife research and habitat management demonstration projects, as well as public hunting and other recreational use. The Texas Game and Oyster Commission, the predecessor of TPWD, purchased the original 28,000 acres of what is today Black Gap WMA in 1948. Maps for news media use showing the land donation and easement locations, plus a regional map showing conservation land holdings in the Big Bend, are on the TPWD Web site as .jpg files suitable for print publication. --- On the Net: Black Gap WMA: http://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/hunt/wma/find_a_wma/list/?id=2 Black Gap maps: http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/news_images/?g=black_gap_wma Texas Bighorn Society: http://www.texasbighornsociety.org El Carmen Project: http://www.celb.org/xp/CELB/news-events/press_releases/10012005.xml -30-

World wheat production in 2013/14 is forecast at 708.9 million tons, up 3.5 million this month. The largest increase is for Canada, where the wheat crop is forecast up 2.0 million tons to 31.5 million. This is based on a 2-percent increase in harvested area, and on yields that are projected to be 5 percent higher than last month and surpass the existing record.
It appears that a combination of optimal temperatures and adequate soil moisture and precipitation since mid-July during the flowering and filling stages of crop development, more than mitigated delayed planting after a cold wet spring.
Yields are boosted to a record-high level, as confirmed by increased estimates from the Statistics Canada July report. The unusually dry and warm weather since the beginning of August promoted rapid maturation of the wheat crop, and the latest provincial reports gauge 88 percent of wheat to be in excellent/good condition.
Winter wheat harvesting, which covers less than 10 percent of wheat area, is already complete. Spring wheat harvesting is progressing rapidly, while favorable weather forecasts with no early frosts in sight reduce risks of its disruption, and are expected to benefit grain quality.
It is worth mentioning that the July Statistics Canada estimates for both area and production do not include British Columbia and the Maritime Provinces (Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick), which are estimated to add about 3 percent to the area and production estimates. Estimates covering the whole country will be made available by Statistics Canada in November (see http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/130821/t130821a001-eng.htm).
Despite previous concerns about an excessively cold winter, a late spring, and a hot summer, EU-27 wheat production is expected to reach 142.9 million tons in 2013/14, adding another 1.5 million to its third-highest ever crop this month.
Wheat harvesting of the 2013/14 crop is virtually complete, and statistical offices in individual countries continue to compile and report wheat production numbers.
The largest increase is in Germany, up 0.5 million tons to 24.7 million, and the harvest has reached its final stage. Reports indicate that despite extreme cold in March, a delayed, wet spring, and back-to-back outbreaks of excessive heat, the overall conditions for wheat development were mostly favorable. This boosted wheat yield potential to near-record highs, with the quality of the crop higher than expected.
August also brought further improvement in the United Kingdom (UK), where wheat area is at a 30-year low after an exceptionally wet autumn reduced planted area. The wheat crop in the UK is about 50 percent harvested, wheat yields are slightly below the 5-year average, and output is projected this month up 0.2 million tons to 12.1 million. Wheat production expectations continue to improve for the countries in the eastern EU, namely Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Poland, up from 0.1-0.3 million tons each. A tiny increase is made for the Czech Republic. In neighboring Serbia (not an EU member), official government reports suggest a 0.2- million-ton increase in wheat production.
Wheat production is expected to be higher in Ukraine, up 0.5 million tons to 22.0 million, as indicated by the latest harvest reports. In Turkmenistan and Tajikistan, the two other countries of the Asian part of the Former Soviet Union block (FSU- 12), wheat production is projected up 0.4 and 0.1 million tons, respectively, based on the countries' Ministries of Agriculture reports.
The wheat production forecast is up 0.2 million tons for Morocco where the harvest is complete, and reflects government estimates. South African wheat production is slightly increased by 0.1 million tons to 1.8 million, reflecting slightly higher area, generally good crop conditions in the Western Cape Province, and the first wheat production estimate by South Africa's National Crop Estimates Committee. Partly offsetting are declines in projected wheat output for Iran, Paraguay, and Saudi Arabia.
In Iran, wheat production is projected down 1.0 million tons to 14.5 million this month, which is still 0.5 million tons higher than last year. Iran has been enjoying favorable weather conditions, but a slow moving storm in May in southwestern Iran is expected to have affected wheat harvesting in that part of the country.
Wheat output in Paraguay is projected 0.4 million tons lower to just 1.0 million, the lowest wheat output in 8 years. Unusually timed frosts in the majorproducing areas at the end of July and in August are expected to have reduced harvested area by more than 30 percent, as well as generating much lower than expected crop quality.
In Saudi Arabia, the continued implementation of a 2008 decree intended to completely phase out domestic wheat production by 2016 resulted in an additional reduction in projected wheat area, down 20 thousand hectares to 0.1 thousand hectares, and in production down 0.1 million tons to 0.6 million. Wheat production for 2013/14 was also adjusted for Eritrea.
A decrease of 0.6 million tons in global beginning stocks—due to trade revisions in prior years and other changes in supply and demand—only partly offsets the 2013/14 production increase.
Trade revisions for the prior years (mostly for 2012/13) led to lower beginning stocks in the EU, Pakistan, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, and Tunisia, and higher stocks in Algeria, Uzbekistan, and Indonesia. Statistics Canada reported 2012/13 wheat ending stocks 0.2 million tons higher than USDA's earlier forecast, with an increase in the 2013/14 beginning stocks that gives Canadian wheat supplies an additional boost. Numerous changes in beginning stocks of less than 0.1 million tons are made for a number of countries, mostly reflecting the availability of trade data

DETROIT - What are the things you take for granted?
Do you even realize that to use a cell phone is a privilege, not a right?
If you own a cell phone, it fits in your pocket. If you need to make a call, you pick it up and make it. If the cell phone tower is working, you're going to talk to who you want, when you want, where you want.
If you're reading this right now, it's because you have access to a computer and the Internet.
Did you go swimming this summer on the hottest day? Did you tell you wife or husband that you didn't want to go somewhere, you wanted to spend the evening in, watching the Olympics? Maybe you joined friends at a restaurant, ate a nice juicy steak, decided to wear the green shirt instead of the blue one.
We didn't drink bottled water 25 years ago. There was no Google, we used Encyclopedias. Payphones were on every corner. If you needed to find an address, you looked at a map now you ask your phone or punch it into your navigation system.
These are the things that you have access to when you own freedom. These are all the trappings of self determination.
For Thomas and Raymond Highers, these are things that they want to experience but haven't, because they've been in jail for 25 years for a murder they say they didn't commit and now there's new evidence that strongly suggests, they were telling the truth all along.
Think about it: 25 years behind bars for a crime you didn't commit.
If the Highers brothers get out of jail today, they want to get cell phones.
They've never had one, in fact, according to family members, don't even know how to turn one on. They don't own watches or a pair of real shoes. They have swimming trunks waiting for them at their aunt and uncle's Roseville home and they want to go swimming. They have no idea how light a flat screen television is to lift.
As for using a tablet or an iPad— that is completely foreign to them. Thomas has never had a driver's license. Most everything all of us take for granted will be a gift to these grown men who are now in their 40s.
The Highers brothers were no angels, their aunt will tell you that.
They'd been known to frequent the drug house on the city's east side in 1987, but they weren't at that drug house on that night when two men robbed the dope-man at gunpoint and shot and killed 65- year-old Robert Karey.
One of the brothers was pointed out in a line-up. Both were hauled into court and a judge convicted them of murder and sentenced them to life in prison without possibility of parole.
But after a chance conversation of Facebook, something neither brother has ever seen or used himself, a witness to the robbery was uncovered.
The college roommate of some guy talking about a high school reunion. A couple of people put the pieces together and like a page ripped from the screenplay of the Shawshank Redemption, reasonable doubt was established.
Judge Lawrence Talon has already ordered an acquittal of the charges and a new trial. At a bond hearing today the two brothers will learn if they'll be released pending that new trial.
After 25 years in jail, these last few hours that could very likely lead up to their freedom, could feel like the longest stretch of time, yet.
A small bedroom with two twin beds await them at their aunt and uncle's home.
There's a Bible, new clothes, new electronic gadgets to discover, a new watch for each and an abundance of love.
And as they walk into the front door and into the kitchen the first thing they'll see is a canvass picture that probably hangs in millions of homes around the country. Only, in this home, it means so much more. The words on the picture say, "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS. HOME SWEET HOME."

Capozzella: Racism exists
November 10, 2012
I reported prior to the election of President Obama the belief that the most important reason for the hatred of the President was racism. It didn't seem logical then or now for those opposed to him to hate him so violently if their differences were political or even religious. I mentioned discussing this issue after church with a friend and mentioned the fact that the state of Alabama continues to have the policy of segregation in their constitution. In 2004 a vote to remove segregation failed by 1,850 votes and I made a symbolic wager that a vote to be held in 2012 would fail by a larger margin because of the racial hatred by that state and millions of others toward the president.
My friend reasoned that the United States has become much more tolerant toward racial minorities and segregation would be removed. He saw our country's hope for total equality and I saw the reality of hatred. Incidentally, I lived in Alabama for two years in the 1960s during segregation. It is a disgusting example of one of the worst policies in our past history. Alabama has difficulty accepting their military defeat in the Civil War which is shown by their continuous defense of the Confederate flag. Keeping segregation in their constitution was an example of their rejection of racial equality.
In this year's election and Alabama's vote on their constitution, the forces of hatred won. The removal of segregation failed by over 365,000 voters from a state known for their evangelical faith (61 percent of 1.9 million people voted to keep segregation). I must admit some people may have voted against the removal because those in favor of segregation refused to include removing offensive constitutional language that didn't guarantee a public education for their children. I can understand their position. If you wish for the good old days of segregating blacks, why would you promise to give them a public education?
To me this election has been a sad period in our country's history. It took the mask off the faces of many, many people who had difficulty being led by a black leader and the realization their votes were simply equal to a bunch of blacks, hispanics, asians and Native Americans. Opposition is not hatred. Moving our country forward regardless of position cannot be accomplished by hatred. After getting that $1 in my hand, I shall attempt to convince my friend to bet on the tea party and Republican Party leaders compromising on taxes and reductions. Not going to happen in a meaningful way.
Vincent Capozzella, Breckenridge

When you hear the phrase "fundamental indicators," what generally comes to mind is earnings, or some variation thereof. Bottom-line growth, price-to-earnings ratios, dividends -- and all the attendant ways of analyzing dividend payouts -- are the metrics typically under the microscope.
But, while I certainly scrutinize earnings-related data, I often prefer to put my focus on revenue. As we all know, companies can use perfectly legal and ethical accounting methods to massage their earnings, and firms also report various charges and items that can cut into profit -- even in a quarter with robust sales growth. So when a stock catches your eye, it's always prudent to analyze the revenue situation before you make a purchase.
Generally I use earnings growth, price appreciation or moving-average support as my early indicators of a stock's potential. I then eyeball the sales growth to check for steady rates of increases. I also look for acceleration or deceleration -- the former, of course, being preferable.
Occasionally, however, I run a scan specifically built for increasing revenue. I filter out poor earnings performance and beaten-down stocks that are out of favor with investors. I end up with a list of stocks that have revenue-driven earnings growth, and price performance that is generally outpacing the benchmark index.
As you'd expect, the top revenue growers tend to hail from the ranks of smaller, newer companies. Later this week, I'll write about some small-caps with excellent revenue performance -- but, for today's column, I sorted my scan by market capitalization in order to analyze some of the larger names. These can often be more stable portfolio components. In other words, large-caps and some mid-caps have better liquidity, and may not flail around so much at the whims of the market.
At the top of the heap is a familiar big-cap name: Google (GOOG). Revenue here has risen at rates of 24% or more in the past eight quarters, and growth rates have accelerated in the past two quarters, from 24% to 35% to 45%.
Analysts see Google's top line coming in at $12.4 billion in the current quarter, which would be a whopping 52% from the year-earlier quarter.
On a technical level, the stock is rebounding from 200-day support, a bullish development. However, the shares have been hitting resistance at the 50-day line. Google is one of those companies that is almost constantly in the news, and day-to-day business developments tend to move the stock less than earnings reports.
Over the weekend, for example, news broke that Google is teaming up with Apple (AAPL) to bid on a number of Kodak's imaging patents.
In terms of market cap, the next-best revenue grower on my screen was a mid-cap stock I've been following since it went public a year ago: Michael Kors (KORS). Here, the sales growth rate has been 50% or higher in the past eight quarters. Remember, the company is newly public -- exactly the point at which firms tend to sport these kinds of growth levels.
For the current quarter, Wall Street has pegged Michael Kors' revenue growth at 45.4%, to $543.34 million.
The stock trades in a somewhat erratic fashion, and has a beta of 1.47. It comes in just under the $10 billion market-cap threshold for a large-cap, sporting a current capitalization of $9.97 billion. It has good liquidity, moving more than 3 million shares per day.
Also, this is another example of a stock that is perched above its 200-day line and below its 50-day. At this juncture, waiting for Michael Kors to cross above its 50-day line may be a good idea.
Later this week, I'll provide some revenue and chart analysis on some more mid- and small-cap names.

Wiltshire has officially unveiled its first Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH).
The MASH is designed to build upon existing partnership work in Wiltshire to further improve the safeguarding of vulnerable people across the county.
It is the first time that a multitude of agencies across Wiltshire will be based at the same location, sharing information to provide a more co-ordinated, timely and proportionate response to welfare and safeguarding concerns.
Wiltshire's MASH is housed at County Hall, Trowbridge and already provides a fully functioning service to the public.
The agencies currently co-located in the MASH include Wiltshire Council Children's Social Care and Common Assessment Framework (CAF) co-ordinators, Wiltshire Police and local community health services through the inclusion of a specialist safeguarding nurse.
It also incorporates external involvement from Swindon Borough Council on a virtual basis while further partnership integration is anticipated in the coming months.
In total, 45 people are employed to work within the MASH with up to 100 cases being handled every week.
Wiltshire Police Detective Superintendent, Caroline Evely, said: "This is a significant step for the county in further improving our work in protecting vulnerable people.
"I believe the most important aspect of the MASH is the co-location of all partner agencies as this will allow us to respond to safeguarding concerns more efficiently and effectively.
"Having seen this project develop from the very start, I'm satisfied that the MASH can only be of benefit to those working in safeguarding and, more importantly, to those that will need to use the service in the future."
Laura Mayes, Wiltshire Council cabinet member for children's services, said: "We know that joined-up working and information sharing between agencies help to make better decisions more quickly.
"The creation of the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub is therefore a valuable and important step to offer a timely, coherent and unified multi-agency response to safeguarding children and young people."
John Gilbert, Swindon Borough Council's board director commissioning, said: "We already have a very strong relationship with our partner agencies and the MASH will build on our existing practices to ensure we continue to protect the most vulnerable children in Swindon."
Jacqui Chidgey-Clark, director of quality and patient safety at NHS Wiltshire CCG, said: "Wiltshire CCG is delighted to have contributed to the development and the ongoing commissioning of the MASH. This is a welcomed enhancement for the welfare and safety for vulnerable people in Wiltshire."

Time-travelling cowboys and murderous lizards are rampaging back into the pages of 2000 AD, as Flesh returns.
One of the all-time classic strips from early 2000 AD, Flesh made a thrilling, blood-splattering return to the weekly British anthology title last year after a hiatus of more than 30 years. Created by Pat Mills (Marshal Law, Sláine: The Horned God) and Spanish artist Boix, Flesh: Midnight Cowboys follows on from the first series, with black and white artwork from series regular James McKay. Last year's Flesh: Texas was the long-awaited sequel to the much-loved original Flesh – part of the line-up in the very first issue of 2000 AD in 1977.
The new series debuts in Prog 1774, on sale in the UK on March 14, online on March 21, and in North America through Diamond Comics (JAN121234) on March 28.
ABOUT FLESH: With mankind surviving on synthetic food, the corporation Trans-Time sends its employees back to the age of the dinosaurs to butcher the great beasts, beaming their flesh to a hungry future. But these are no brainless lizards - and the dinos are fighting back...
After the Trans-Time base is destroyed, the survivors, stranded millions of years in the past, are ordered to drive their herds across the prehistoric American landscape to Texas – where another base promises safety ... and profit! The ranchers have already managed to survive one onslaught, but what is the latest obstacle in their path?

text: Herd ends preseason, starts prep for opener By Doug Smock August 24, 2013 Story Share HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - There is no down time for the Marshall football team today, but that much-welcomed transition will take place.Goodbye, preseason camp. Hello, game-week preparation. For just about every player, that doesn't come a minute too soon.Especially for the rookies and the fifth-year seniors. There are 11 of the latter, including Penn State transfers Derrick Thomas and Devon Smith. Saturday was the Thundering Herd's 22nd practice, so if you go off that figure the fifth-year men have slogged through 110 long, mostly hot, always strenuous preseason practices in their careers."It's crazy that I've been through five of these," said offensive lineman Jordan Jeffries. "Luckily, they got a little easier as they went along; first one I had was probably the hardest. It's sad that it's coming to an end, but it's also ... you know, it's a relief knowing that two-a-days are not part of my future here at Marshall."One of Jeffries' responsibilities has been helping the freshmen get through these three weeks with a level head and a near-level effort. It has been several years since the Herd last had this much experience to impart to the younger players, particularly in this regard."It gets really old for them," Jeffries said. "It's their first one and they come out, it's the same thing - one a day, then two a day, then one a day, two a day. They just want to go play a game."But when you've done it as long as I have, you realize all this work has a purpose." nn With several hundred incoming freshman invited to watch - or just socialize in the sun, as the case may be - coach Doc Holliday's team went through a "mock game," running through the gamut of game situations and logistics, routine and strange."Today was a situational deal," he said. "Trying to substitute, going against the scout team the entire time, but we had to get all these situations in as far as people coming in and out from the benches. It wasn't quite what we had the rest of camp, but it was something we had to do, and I thought they executed for the most part. "We've got to clean up a couple of substitution issues, but we'll fix that." nn Holliday veered into special teams during his brief post-practice interview, touching on the critical kickoff situation. Last year, as the coverage unit deteriorated it didn't get any help from the kicker - the Herd had a Conference USA-low three touchbacks. The coach dropped a hint about who might execute those chores when the Herd opens its season next Saturday against Miami (Ohio): "Looks like our kickoff guy can at least get it down to the goal line with some hang time, so that will help us a little bit."He was referring to Amoreto Curraj, the freshman from Tampa, Fla., who has shown a lively leg all month. But when pressed, Holliday wouldn't pull the trigger on anointing Curraj."I don't know yet; we'll see what happens," he said. "Every day, I've tried to put a little pressure on him, people in the stands and that type of thing. Nothing really bothers that kid a whole lot; he's a little different, so that's a good thing." nn The Herd will go to church as a team this morning, then gather later in the day for the team's first game-week practice. At the end of practice, team captains will be named. Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5140, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

• Submit a protocol for a phase 2 liver cancer study during Q2 2013, following positive final results of the phase 1/2 study in liver cancer and Hepatitis C in the liver, in January 2012
Can-Fite's leading proprietary compounds, CF-101 and CF-102, are centered on multi-billion dollar market opportunities. The psoriasis drug market is forecasted to grow 86% from $3.6 billion in 2010 to $6.7 billion by 2018, while the rheumatoid arthritis drug market is expected to grow 50% from $12 billion in 2010 to $18 billion by 2020. The global liver cancer drugs market is expected to exceed $2 billion by 2015. In regards to Can-Fite's ophthalmic indications, the dry eye syndrome market is forecasted to grow 47% from $1.9 billion in 2010 to $2.8 billion by 2017, while glaucoma was projected to be valued at $3 billion in 2010.
Can-Fite CEO Pnina Fishman, Ph.D., commented, "2012 marked a critical year for Can-Fite as we continued to make progress on our lead program indications. Many of these indications serve a multi-billion dollar market, which is growing every year. We hope to service these markets with our CF-101 and CF-102 pipeline drugs as they complete clinical testing."
Dr. Fishman continued, "We have made considerable strides in our drug portfolio with support from some of our major corporate partners including Seikagaku Corporation and Kwang Dong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. We are also in late-stage testing with our ophthalmic indications for dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, and uveitis from Ophthalix, Inc., our spin-off Company, with an ownership of 82%. We look forward to the results from some of these clinical trials and are excited about what the future holds for us. We feel 2013 can truly be a breakthrough year for Can-Fite."

NEW ORLEANS - In Kentucky, they still were talking about Anthony Davis had done this season, still marveling over his Final Four Most Outstanding Player performance.
Davis was minutes removed from having helped power Kentucky to its eighth NCAA championship in a 67-59 win against Kansas at the Superdome. Already, the national Player of the Year was being asked about what's next.
"I haven't decided," Davis said when asked if he's jumping into the NBA after one season at UK. "Coach Cal said have until April 29 to decide," Davis said. "I'm going to wait, sit down with my coach, sit down with my family, see what the best decision is for me."
Pay close attention to that deadline.
For the first time, the NCAA has set a deadline of April 10 for players to declare their NBA Draft intentions. But the NBA doesn't require players to declare until April 29.
So UK coach John Calipari has told his players the NCAA deadline is meaningless. There's no NCAA punishment for entering the draft after that date. A player can inform the NCAA he plans to return, only to change his mind before April 29.
The deadline was created to give coaches a handle on their roster before the spring recruiting signing period begins the next day.
"I'm not worried about the NCAA deadline," Calipari said. "It means nothing to me or those players. They have until the 29th to make their decision. If anybody else wants their players to make that decision by the (10th), that's fine, but my players will not."
Davis is all but certain to leave. He's a virtual lock to be the No. 1 pick in the draft after a season in which he averaged 14.2 points and 10.4 rebounds and set an NCAA record for blocked shots by a freshman with 186.
If in fact Monday was his last game in a Kentucky uniform, Davis said, "it's a great way" to go out. But he insists he's not making any declaration soon.
He's not the only UK player with a decision to make.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who's been projected as high as No. 2 in the draft, said "I don't know yet" when he was asked about his future.
During the season, Kidd-Gilchrist insisted he planned to stay in school, but ESPN.com reported during the NCAA Tournament's second weekend that he intends to declare. Kidd-Gilchrist refuted that report.
Neither Terrence Jones, a predicted first-round pick, nor Doron Lamb, a borderline late-first-rounder, addressed their plans after Monday's NCAA title game.
Point guard Marquis Teague, another potential first-rounder, said he's still undecided about the NBA.
"It's a chance (I'll be back)," Teague said. "We've got until April 29 to make a decision, and we'll see then."
It's clear, though, that Calipari expects most of his roster to turn over. In Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist, Jones, Lamb and Teague - along with senior Darius Miller - Calipari has six players who could be drafted, and he sounded prepared, even excited, for the possibility.
"What I'm hoping is there's six first-rounders on this team," Calipari said. "We were the first program to have five (in a single first round, in 2010). Let's have six. That's why I've got to go recruiting on Friday."
There was a time when Calipari could have expected to have most of his team back next season. But in the One-and-Done Era, that's unlikely.
Calipari reiterated Monday night that he doesn't like the NBA rule that prevents players from being drafted until a year after their high school graduation, though he's made better use of it than anyone.
The UK coach has proposals for altering the college-to-pro landscape. He wants the NCAA to provide disability insurance for top players. He'd like to see hardship loans available to top talents and their families.
And Calipari would like to see collegiate experience factored into NBA contracts.
Let players who stay in college an extra year have a year removed from their first NBA contract, he suggested, so they reach free-agency - and a potentially lucrative second contract - a year sooner. Or provide higher pay - a 20 percent hike, Calipari suggested - to players who enter the NBA having graduated college.
Calipari said he's met with NBA Players Union rep Billy Hunter about negotiating such ideas with the NBA.
"(Hunter) spoke to my team before the NCAA started to tell them to worry about college and not the NBA, then he and I spent an hour (talking)," Calipari said. "I've already been up to New York to meet with him about it, to try to say, 'Billy, we've got to do something.'"
In the short term, though, Calipari anticipates significant roster upheaval again. It's become a reality of life at Kentucky, and Calipari knows that if he's chasing a second NCAA championship next season, it'll likely be with a vastly different team.
"You know what, I sat up there (in the press conference), and I was ready to say, 'If this was 1985, I would have that team back,'" Calipari said late Monday night. "And I would've said, 'Next year, we're trying to win 'em all.' But you know what? It's not 25 years ago. It's now. You have to deal with the reality of the way it is."

(Louisville, KY November 2008) - Introducing the most environmentally friendly automotive lift to ever hit the market. The AV1020WV EnviroLift" with AquaVantage" from Challenger Lifts, boasts a RealGREEN" earth friendly design that is powered by Air and Water instead of oil and electricity used by traditional hydraulic lifts.
The AV1020WV runs on compressed air and tap water straight out of the faucet. The lifting mechanisms are service accessible from the surface and require minimal maintenance - simply grease four fittings once a year.
AV1020WV works with no environmental, maintenance and corrosion problems you may have encountered with traditional hydraulic oil inground lifts. And since it's powered by the air pressure you already have, there are no noisy, energy-consuming motors - a tremendous cost savings during installation.
A few other features and benefits:
- Large 8-1/4" double walled, anodized aluminum pistons provide stability, corrosion-resistance and a stunning showroom-like appearance
- Air actuated water control valve for positive ascent and descent.
- The highest rise in the industry at 80" provides maximum head room for working underneath vehicles.
- Versymmetric® 3-stage arms lift both symmetrically and asymmetrically within the same service bay to maximize service capabilities and revenue potential.
- Widest drive-thru in the industry at 87" allows easy vehicle drive-on.
- Double Telescoping Screw Pads reach multiple vehicle pickup point heights reducing the need for adapters.

The report, "U.S. Hospital Health Data Analytics Market," makes the assertion that investments in analytics software will closely follow the implementation of electronic health records (EHRs). As of 2011, approximately 35% of U.S. hospitals had implemented either a basic or comprehensive EHR. By 2016, Frost & Sullivan forecasts that 95% of U.S. hospitals will have EHR systems in place, representing a 22.1% CAGR.
Legislative mandates, specifically, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) of 2009 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010, are driving the shift toward investments in analytics tools soon after the implementation of EHRs. These laws call for U.S. hospitals to implement and use technology, including data analytics, to improve quality measures and patient outcomes.
Health data analytics, which the report describes as "advanced analytics techniques applied to clinical, financial, and administrative data that is used to improve the quality and efficiency of patient care," will become more ubiquitous over the next three to five years.
[ Is it time to re-engineer your clinical decision support system? See 10 Innovative Clinical Decision Support Programs. ]
As the nation modernizes its health information infrastructure, the report notes that historically, healthcare delivery organizations have implemented business analytics that focused on financial and administrative systems. During the last five years, however, implementing clinical IT systems such as EHRs has raced to the top of the priority charts.
Still, the report asserted that the majority of providers have not yet applied advanced data analytics tools that can access information from EHRs to gain actionable insights from this information. The report also noted that providers have yet to integrate clinical information with financial and administrative data--a process that must occur if hospitals want to implement a comprehensive data analytics strategy.
"To transform healthcare, all data have to come together in order to get a clear picture of what is happening with individual patients and patient populations in terms of clinical treatment and outcomes, costs and reimbursement, and resource utilization," said Nancy Fabozzi, principal analyst covering Healthcare at Frost & Sullivan, the author of the report. "Hospital executives will increasingly view these data [elements] as a core asset that must be leveraged to support every organizational goal, including financing, reimbursement, recruiting, and--most importantly--patient care."
The good news is that hospital CEOs, CFOs, and CIOs are fully aware that they need to elevate their analytics capabilities, which means channeling additional investments toward a new technology infrastructure to support that function, as well as establishing new processes and workflows around data governance and oversight of this critical asset, Fabozzi said in an interview with InformationWeek Healthcare.
So what will it take to build and leverage a hospital's data assets?
"Integration is the first hurdle," Fabozzi declared. "Some hospitals, mostly larger integrated delivery network (IDNs), and/or academic medical centers, are building data warehouses to integrate data from numerous disparate systems within the enterprise so that the data is amenable to robust analytics."
The second big task is getting hospitals to agree on basic key performance indicators (KPIs). As the health industry enters an era of more government regulations, government will determine many KPIs.

I found these this morning at the antique flea swap. The dealer wasn't sure what they were because someone inscribed L.C.T. on the bottom of one of them. In any case, I was wondering what the odds are that these pieces stayed together after all these years. I think Moorish Crackle?

Inviting an unprecedented expansion of tar sands pipelines in the U.S. and Canada would commit the countries to decades of doing business with companies that have a long record of disregard for the environment, human health and landowner rights, says a new report. The report release comes just a short time before the Obama Administration is slated to make an historic decision on the controversial Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
A tally of the new capacity, over 9,000 miles of pipe, finds the vast majority would be overseen by Canadian pipeline giants TransCanada and Enbridge. The report documents the two companies' history of bullying landowners, influence peddling, wildlife deaths, oil spills and other bad acts that led the authors to name the report, "Crude Behavior: TransCanada, Enbridge, and the Tar Sand Industry's Tarnished Legacy."
While voters in the U.S. just rebuked an unprecedented fossil fuel industry effort to defeat President Barack Obama, who received widespread support from conservationists during his campaign, his administration will face an early test on the direction of its second-term climate and energy policy when it issues a final decision on TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline. Defeated challenger Mitt Romney had promised to approve Keystone XL on his first day in office.
"Politicians cannot be serious about addressing extreme weather and slowing global warming if they ignore the pollution, wildlife, and property rights impacts of Keystone XL," said Joe Mendelson, National Wildlife Federation's director of climate and energy policy. "The carbon pollution math simply does not add up."
According to the report, tar sands carbon emissions could outpace all of the U.S. heat trapping carbon dioxide emissions to date. The totality of proposed new pipelines is projected to carry the equivalent of 930 million metric tons of global warming pollution in North America. Keystone XL alone would account for 156 million metric tons on its own, the equivalent of putting 6 million more cars on the road.
"Tar sands industry giants have already turned what was once a rich boreal forest into a scarred landscape with thousands of acres of mines, tailings ponds and depleted rivers -- a virtual wasteland," said Gillian McEachern, deputy campaign director of Environmental Defence (Canada). "Their expansion plans make it clear they think they are just getting started."
Enbridge's and TransCanada's tainted history is fraught with warnings and a dramatic cautionary tale. During its pursuit of a permit for Keystone XL, TransCanada has used the courts to seize farms and private property, ignored Native American rights, and risked polluting the Midwest's Ogallala aquifer. TransCanada's Keystone I had 12 spill accidents in its first two years. Enbridge has a poor record as well: In 2010, one of its pipelines leaked a million gallons of tar sands oil into Michigan's Kalamazoo River, resulting in the largest inland spill in U.S. history and one that is still not cleaned up. Additionally, Enbridge has a record of dodging the rules and failing to notify authorities of accidents.

I spent the first few years of my life in a smallish community in Queens. Back in those early days, kids could roam the streets with relatively little supervision and one place I visited frequently was the local library. This particular branch was little more than a storefront but to me it was an alternative universe where I could explore my interests and receive kind, informative answers to my questions from the wonderful librarians.

Guiseley boss Mark Bower is delighted to have centre back Danny Ellis back from injury but wished that his comeback game had been a little less eventful.
Ellis began last Saturday on the bench at AFC Telford United but was soon in the action after Danny Hall picked up a hamstring injury.
The defender came on and played well, had two goal attempts from set-pieces but then picked up two yellow cards and had an early bath.
Bower said: "It was great having Danny (Ellis) on the bench because he was a ready-made replacement once we lost Danny (Hall).
"We had started badly but we made a tactical change, and with Ellis on we got on top and got our noses in front before half-time.
"Danny had been responsible for some very good defending in that time so he was influential in us going from 1-0 down to 2-1 in front."
Ellis had played a handful of games at the start of the season but missed several months with a back injury.
It was only the second time Bower had named him among the substitutes as he neared the end of the comeback trail.
Bower said: "Danny was unlucky to get sent off because he was in at the deep end really, coming into the game so early on.
"I thought the first booking was very harsh, the second one not quite so much. I have certainly seen yellow cards given for challenges like that in the modern game.
"He certainly felt hard done by and it's a shame he will have to miss a game now that he is just getting back.
"He will miss Stalybridge away a week tomorrow. If he had played a couple more games, I don't think he would have got the bookings.
"Danny put himself in situations he maybe wouldn't have been in if he had been match fit. If he had had three or four games under his belt he would have been better prepared, perhaps a yard quicker, certainly a lot sharper."

San Diego County employers added more jobs to their payrolls in June than they have in any single month in more than two years.
Local employers added 13,400 people to their payrolls last month. Only in April 2010, when they added 13,500 jobs, was there a larger number of people hired in a single month.
The data, released Friday by the state Employment Development Department, comes at a time that has been marred with growing skepticism among employers over the health of the economy. The presidential election, health care reform, the European debt crisis and the fiscal cliff has kept hiring slow, economists said.
"It looked like we were losing momentum but San Diego has shown significant resilience," said Lynn Reaser, chief economist at Point Loma Nazarene University.
Still, the unemployment rate rose to 9.2 percent. It was 8.8 percent in May.
The June growth is also a big jump from what employers added in June 2011, when they hired 3,900 workers. In June 2010, they only added 1,500.
June is typically a month with a large amount of hiring in the leisure and tourism industry. The field added 7,200 workers last month, the most of any sector.
"I don't think a lot of it is artificially high because when you do the June to June comparisons, last June you had to have summer hiring as well," said Alan Gin, an economist at the University of San Diego.
Gin said the most important number is the 24,000 jobs gained from June 2011 to June 2012. It's the kind of year-over-year growth economists say will really take a chunk out of the unemployment rate.
It's the highest year-over-year job growth since May 2005, when county employers added 25,100 jobs. The jobless rate then, however, was 4.1 percent.
So we finally got that, but the unemployment rate still went up.
Well, blame the grads.
Gin said June is historically one of the worst months for the unemployment rates largely because college and high school graduates enter the labor force; and other students look for summer jobs. May, conversely, is one of the best (The county's 8.8 percent rate in May was a three-year low).
San Diego State University in May issued about 7,000 bachelor's degrees; and the University of San Diego about 3,000. University of California, San Diego graduated roughly 6,000 in June. The labor force grew by 14,900 last month.
Gin said adjusted for seasonal factors, like college graduation, the county's unemployment rate is 8.8 percent.
Still, summer hiring seemed to be the reason for the job growth, with its 7,200 jobs.
"We are seeing a significant rebound in tourism, which appears to be more than just the seasonal increase," Reaser said.
Construction added the second most jobs with 2,600.
Kelly Cunningham, an economist at the National University System Institute for Policy Research, said June's gain was markedly significant. He said the 13,500 added in April 2010 was largely due to government census workers being hired. This June, the government sector shrank the most of any industry, losing 700 jobs.
In terms of growth, professional and business services added 1,800 jobs in June, and posted the largest year-over-year gain at 7,200. Most of those jobs came in professional scientific, and technical services. Administrative, support and waste also accounted for about a third of those jobs.
The state has monthly job data going back to 1990. After April 2010, the next highest month of growth came in February 1995, when the county added 12,600 jobs and had a 6.2 percent unemployment rate.
Statewide, California's unemployment rate was 10.7 percent in June, adding 38,300 job. The nation's was 8.4 percent.
San Diego's unemployment number is lower than the state's due to a diverse economy that includes in demand fields such as tech, health, research and defense, economists have said.
