Federer hopes to play 2016 Olympics
Roger Federer says he won't play as often in the next few years and hopes to compete in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The 31-year-old Federer says he'll be more mindful about the tournaments he plays in the future to make sure he can continue playing at a high level.
"I have to make sure that I take care of my schedule, of my body, of my mind," he said on Thursday.
"Hopefully I can still stay on tour for many more years and hopefully play the Olympics here in three and a half years or so, so I have to look far ahead and not just the next six months."
The winner of 17 grand slams is in Sao Paulo hosting exhibition matches involving Maria Sharapova, Victoria Azarenka, Serena Williams, Caroline Wozniacki, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Tommy Robredo, Tommy Haas and Thomaz Bellucci.
Federer plays Bellucci, Brazil's top-ranked player, on Thursday.
The Swiss world No.2 has competed in four Olympics for a doubles gold in 2008 and singles silver this year, and he said he would love to make it to the Rio Games.
"There is a lot of passion for sports here," he said.
"It's a hot place to play tennis right now."
Federer said this year was especially difficult for him because he also committed to the Davis Cup and London Games, which took him away from practice and from spending time with his family.
"I've played a lot of tennis. It's been a big challenge, especially with the Olympics and the Davis Cup this year," he said.
"I found my way back to world No.1 and it took a lot of sacrifices. I'd like to be home a little bit more often and in a relaxed fashion."
Federer played 21 tournaments in 2012, the most among the top four players. World No.1 Novak Djokovic played 18, No.3 Andy Murray played 20 and Rafael Nadal, nursing a knee injury, played 18.
"I'm not going to play 25 tournaments, but every tournament that I will be playing I'll be emotionally attached to it, because I either won there before or because I've been there many times or because I love the city or the country and the fans," he said.
"Today I've reached a point in my life that I can pick and choose where I want to play and how much I want to play."
Federer said he thinks he will need two Grand Slams and five to eight titles in other tournaments to get back to No. 1.
"It's difficult, but I'm happy to set that challenge and I'll give everything I have," he said.

Cap Cod seems to have been host to one or more white sharks yesterday. Video was caught of what clearly looks like a white shark right off the beaches.
Or was this just a Discovery Channel marketing scheme ;)
Would love to see the video, but it is expired. Any ideas where else it can be viewed at?
Works for me...
Hi Felix,
Am heading off to Rhode Island to a spearfishing trip. If I come across Mr. White, I tell him I'm a friend of the Leanders... that should put me on the clear with him :)
Nice Claudio - hope you get a striper

North Hollywood High School is one of three Los Angeles Unified campuses that will send teams to the National High School Cyber Defense Competition in Washington, D.C. in March.
Teams from Roybal Learning Complex and Franklin High School also qualified.
This is the third year in a row LAUSD schools will compete in the national championship round of CyberPatriot V, which was created by the Air Force Association and sponsored by Northrop Grumman.
CyberPatriot is a hands-on competition that replicates real life cyber-security situations faced by computer administrators.
"North Hollywood High School's Cyber Patriots are an extremely talented group of students who have already proven their might by fielding two out of all twelve teams invited to the final round," LAUSD Board Member Tamar Galatzan said. "Win or lose at the finals, these students have done all of LAUSD proud and we wish them the best of luck in Washington, D.C."

Puberty Related Intervention to Improve Metabolic Outcomes (The PRIMO Study) (PRIMO)

- How to Read a Study Record
Puberty represents a critical period in terms of metabolic health. Racial differences in insulin dynamics, reproductive maturation, and the associated endocrine changes may affect a female's health later in life. Further, the peripubertal period is likely the period of racial divergence in adiposity noted between European American (EA) and African American (AA) girls. Diet is a major modifiable risk factor. The identification of simple, cost-effective dietary strategies for prevention and management of metabolic disease and excess fat mass accrual during the peripubertal period is a priority. Modification of the diet to affect metabolic and endocrine outcomes with and without weight loss during the pubertal transition represents a novel approach to the pediatric obesity epidemic.
It is likely that the two diets used in this project will have different metabolic effects, including effects on postprandial glycemia, triglyceride concentration, free fatty acid concentration, and satiety. These factors may in turn, affect development of metabolic perturbations, especially in susceptible individuals (e.g. AA peripubertal girls).The role of carbohydrates on metabolic outcomes, particularly among children, has received little attention. It has been hypothesized that higher postprandial glycemia may be a mechanism for disease progression. Development of a diet that reduces insulin secretion and optimizes metabolic-endocrine health among peripubertal girls will likely reduce obesity and related co-morbidities and future reliance on pharmacologic treatments, even in the absence of weight loss. However, in light of the current trends in pediatric obesity, a safe and effective regimen that also promotes weight loss is needed for the pediatric population.
This proposal is significant in that it will shed light on whether diet composition, as a part of a eucaloric (weight-stable) or hypocaloric diet (weight-loss) can influence the hyperinsulinemic characteristic of AA peripubertal girls. Existing data suggest that elevated concentrations of insulin and/or reproductive hormones may contribute to the fat mass accrual in AA and could elevate risks for development of chronic diseases in adulthood. The results of this study will lead to the development of dietary means for the reduction of insulin, and thereby to the prevention of both pediatric obesity and type 2 diabetes.

|Official Title:
|Puberty Related Intervention to Improve Metabolic Outcomes (The PRIMO Study)
- Determine if a hypocaloric (weight-loss), SPEC diet results in greater fat loss than a 12-week, hypocaloric, STAN diet among overweight females aged 7-11 years. [ Time Frame: 12-weeks ]
The SPEC diet will be more effective than the STAN diet at promoting fat loss (while preserving bone mass). Evaluate insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, reproductive hormone status, resting energy expenditure compared to baseline.
Outcomes will be assessed in serum by measurement of insulin/glucose following a liquid meal tolerance test and whole-body body composition bone marrow adipose tissue volume (cm^3); trabecular bone (g) via DXA, MRI, and pQCT, respectively. We will evaluate changes in estradiol (pg/ml), FSH (pg/ml), LH (pg/ml), testosterone (pg/ml) and lipid profile.
- To evaluate the relationship between genetic factors and the physiologic, hormonal, and metabolic response to the two diets, the genetic admixture and genetic association will be evaluated. [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]
The SPEC diet will be more effective than the STAN diet in decreasing insulin secretion and increasing insulin sensitivity. The SPEC diet will be more effective in reducing insulin, which in turn will reduce estradiol (or the estrogen-androgen ratio) and thereby minimize the relative gain in fat mass.
Evaluate changes in insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, reproductive hormone concentration, resting energy expenditure and body composition from baseline and compare results between two arms.
- Determine if a low-carbohydrate diet (SPEC) is more effective than a standard (STAN) diet in decreasing insulin secretion, increasing insulin sensitivity, and decreasing estradiol concentration among overweight girls 7-11 years. [ Time Frame: 6-weeks ]This outcome aims to evaluate metabolic and endocrine changes that occur in the absence of weight change.

Mamo's Potato Pancake
As you peel potatoes immediately immerse in very cold water. Grate the onions and potatoes together and immediately put into a very fine mesh strainer (or clean tea towel) and squeeze out the water into a bowl.
Pour out as much water as possible then return the starch back into the potato mixture along with the onions, egg, flour, salt (and pepper if desired).
Meanwhile be heating a well-seasoned griddle or large pan with a thin layer of the oil. I love my old fashioned cast iron. Using a large spoon, scoop some of the mixture into the hot pan and flatten out as evenly as possible without breaking the pancake apart. Fry until golden brown, then gently flip and fry the other side. Use moderate high heat - hot enough to sizzle but not too hot as to burn before the centers are cooked. Again, practice will determine the speed of cooking. Thin pancakes yield crispy ones - that's the way we like them.
Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. If you have to wait to serve, just heat them in a 350° oven to crisp and heat up right on fresh paper towels - that way the heat will allow even more oil to drain off onto the absorbent paper towels.
Yes, they can be frozen but generally I'm not a fan. I like them freshly made if at all possible.

Britton called up to work out of bullpen
OAKLAND -- Zach Britton had a little time to get to Oakland from Charlotte, N.C., on Wednesday. He was told he was heading back to Baltimore following Norfolk's loss, a game in which Steve Johnson made his first rehab start.
The left-handed pitcher got into the Bay Area around midnight and had plenty of time to get ready for Thursday's game against the Athletics.
"It's great to be able to come in and get reunited with these guys," Britton said. "My last two outings have been pretty good. I got a lot of ground balls, which was something I was struggling with in Spring Training."
Britton is a starter, but will be used out of the bullpen for the time being. He joins one of the top bullpens in the Major Leagues. Brian Matusz, T.J. McFarland, Tommy Hunter, Jim Johnson, Troy Patton and Darren O'Day have a combined ERA of 1.49 (10 earned runs in 60 1/3 innings).
"It all comes down to relationships," Britton said. "We're all there for each other because we have the same goal in mind. We support each other."
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Britton would be considered as a starter for Monday, the next time Baltimore needs a fifth starter.

Do you remember my post titled "Give away free stickers and rock buttons at shows!"? I took my own advice and re-ordered some stickers and rockpins for my record label. Here's two photos of how they look. This specific schwag comes from www.stickerguy.com and www.rockbuttons.com. I will be chucking this stuff out at the next bunch of live shows I do. I can report satisfaction with both orders.
Remember to save a few for the promoter who booked you, the sound guy and your driver. Also it doesn't hurt to put a few pins on some nice looking ladies. If the club is ok with stickers plastered all over it like CBGBs be sure to go to town!
By the way, I will make some Wire to the Ear merchandise later this year!

Greetings, Grasshopper. Now that you've mastered the clicker, you're ready for the "canine mind meld." First we'll teach your dog that the click sound means a reward is coming. You'll need 30 tiny, yummy treats, a clicker and Fluffy in a quiet room.
Keeping both hands hidden, begin by clicking once, then toss a treat in front of Fluffy — one click, one treat. Drop each treat as if you're randomly tossing them onto numbers of a clock — 9 p.m., 12 p.m., 3 p.m. Repeat 12 times and pause ... let Fluffy's attention wander, now click! If his head whips around toward the sound, toss a treat. If not, toss a treat, and repeat the process from the beginning. Once you get the "head whip" response, do two more reps, take a break, and reload your treat bag.
Next: Attention By Default
Each time Fluffy looks at your face, mark that precise moment with a "Click!" Even if it's just a glance, mark it, then give Fluffy one treat. Repeat three times.
Pivot a quarter turn away from Fluffy and wait for him to find your front. When he looks up at you, "Click-it!" then treat. Repeat 15 to 20 times, give him a brief shoulder stroke, and put the treats away.
Try it again later. Once Fluffy is making definite eye contact — he's trying to make you "Click!" to get a treat — you can begin to gradually build longer eye contact by waiting a bit before you "Click!" Begin by waiting a second, then two, then one, etc. Avoid always making it harder to earn a treat.
Do this in different quiet places so Fluffy learns that making eye contact works anywhere. When Fluffy seems to be constantly eyeing you, start using the routine to have Fluffy earn other "rewards." Put his favorite toy behind your back. When he makes eye contact, give it to him. Before you let Fluffy inside, or out, wait for eye contact before opening the door.
Next time: Teaching targeting!

Analysis of Superheater Tubes with Mutual Irradiation as Applied to a Solar Receiver Steam Generator
N. Lemcoff1 S. Wyatt2
1Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Hartford, CT, USA
2Alstom Power, Windsor, CT, USA
The objective of this paper is to analyze the temperature variations within a superheater tube of a solar receiver steam generator. The tube is heated by concentrated, collimated solar irradiation with major cooling by an internal steam flow. The influence of heat loss by radiation, internal convection, and conduction are considered. Analytical models are obtained for an isolated tube, and the significance of mutual irradiation of adjacent tubes is studied using COMSOL Multiphysics. The tubes outer surface maximum temperature decreases significantly as the internal heat transfer coefficient increases. Also, the radiosity decreases as the emissivity of the radiating surfaces increases. The results obtained help understand the effect of system parameters and can lead to an optimized steam generator design.

What if in 1987 we drafted Steve Alford instead of Mr. Clutch himself? At the time Donnie took some serious heat in choosing Miller over the fan favorite in Alford.
I never followed Alford's career since I live in California. Anyone out there care to educate me in how good he was?
Either way, I don't regret having Reggie as the face of our franchise. He's not just a fixture of the Indiana Pacers, he IS Indiana.
Boom Baby!

England winger Josh Charnley will be out for up to two months with a knee injury sustained in Wigan's Challenge Cup win over Dewsbury.
Charnley, who has topped the Super League try-scoring chart for each of the last two seasons, twisted his knee in the early stages of the Warriors' 58-6 win over the Rams.
"Josh is going to be out for six to eight weeks," said Warriors head coach Shaun Wane. "He doesn't need an operation but needs time off his legs. He's slightly twisted his knee but there's no ligament damage."
Dom Manfredi is set to deputise, starting with Friday's home game against London Broncos, who have yet to win a game in 2014, and Wane admits he is tempted to rest some of his senior players ahead of the Easter schedule.
"I'll pick a very competitive team," Wane said. "We've had a few tough games this year so, if I need to rest someone before the Good Friday game at St Helens, I will.
"I've not made my mind up yet."

EDMONTON, Alberta -- First things first. Before Ryane Clowe can end his season-long scoring drought, he needs to be healthy enough to get back into the lineup.
That may not happen Wednesday night when the Sharks try once again to halt a five-game road losing streak against the Edmonton Oilers as the veteran forward continues to nurse a shoulder injury that knocked him out of Saturday night's game in Los Angeles.
Clowe's failure to score in 25 games puts his name high on the list of reasons why the Sharks' offense has disappeared for long stretches in this troubled season. He hit a career high with 24 goals and 62 points in 2010-11, then saw those numbers drop to 17 and 45 last season.
So how much has Clowe tried to analyze any differences in his current game?
"I don't try to examine it too much, but I have some video that I watch of myself -- good things that make me successful as a player," he said. "You wonder if there's something you did when you scored that you don't do now. It's tough to say."
Coach Todd McLellan does not let Clowe off the hook, saying he needs to start scoring if the Sharks are going to be successful. But he does point out that nine assists by Clowe tie him for third on the team, and that his physical play adds to his value.
But McLellan also recognizes that every game without a goal makes it tougher to get that first one.
"As an individual, you have so much pride that you think you're letting your teammates down when you haven't scored so you want to go and do more," said McLellan, who has experimented with Clowe on virtually every line. "You want to be in on the forecheck, you want to be the shooter. You overcook it and your focus becomes the end rather than the work that goes into it."
Clowe has the somewhat dubious distinction of being the NHL player with the second-highest number of shots on net -- and nothing to show for it. Entering Tuesday, his 59 were only three behind the league leader, Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings.
Clowe's name has come up in trade rumors tied to the April 3 deadline, in part because he is in the final year of his contract. He current deal pays $14.5 million, and he doesn't need to be reminded that at 30 this is supposed to be his best shot at cashing in.
"Of course I understand the situation," he said. "I think anyone would be lying if they say they don't think about it."
But Clowe said he knows he contributes beyond scoring stats.
"Me, I'm in a fortunate position in that my game -- I know I play an offensive role, I know I can -- but I've been in this league long enough that people recognize what I bring to the table," he said. "I can be an important piece to a team. If I was relying on offensive numbers to get a contract next year, I'd be putting more pressure on myself and it'd probably be on my mind more."

Not only is there scientific evidence to support Buddhist belief in rebirth,
I think maybe you should supply details of this so called "scientific evidence" rather than simply relying upon what some so called scientist said. Otherwise, once again, like many other religious people, you are arguing from ignorance. That is, just because we don't have a scientific explanation yet about this and many other things, you are ignoring the possibility that there may well be another explanation which doesn't involve superstition etc.

Cute Minifigures From The Disney-Pixar Classic...
To insure your action figure collection, get in touch with Collectibles Insurance, the official insurance company of the Figures.com network. Say "Figures.com" to get 5% off your first term premiums.
To buy action figures, take a look at BigBadToyStore.com, PlasmaInfusion.com, Toynk.com, BriansToys.com, ToyWiz.com, and MonkeyDepot.com.
Never out of fashion is the popular Disney-Pixar film Monsters, Inc. and with a prequel, Monsters University, heading to theaters this Summer, merchandise for this now franchise is at an all time high. Hot Toys, makers of your favorite 1/6th scale movie characters are also really into little Cosbabies as well! These figures, standing about 3-inches tall represent your favorite Monsters, Inc characters in baby form. I suppose you can say that these toys are prequels to the prequel, and in that case, Monsters Preschool can be played at your home with this complete set of Monsters, Inc. Mini Cosbaby figures, available in April.
The set includes six figures, two of which are variants:
-James P. Sullivan (Sulley)
-Mike Wazowski (Mike)
-Boo (Monster version)
-Mike (Diver version)
Thats right, its a lot of cosbaby action in this set but its certainly easier than buying them individually, which is also an option. The whole set may cost you $70 while individually they should run about $12 each.
The packaging for the complete set is colorful and nicely done. Its a simple presentation with all figures lined up in a window for you to display in package if you so wish. The door pattern from the introduction of the film is presented along with caution tape with the code 2319, which if youve seen the film, means its really bad news, and rightfully so as Boo is included twice in this set.
All of the figures are about 3 tall, with Sulley being the tallest. Boo, surprisingly towers larger than Mike Wazowski, making this a pretty odd looking collection. I would very much prefer her be an accessory. It just looks weird, frankly.
The sculpts are what youd expect if youve been collecting cosbabies. Theyre just freaking cute. Thats the only way to describe them. Theyre more like the line drawing versions of the characters than the hyper-detailed CG film versions.
Sulley isnt your standard Cosbaby but he sure is cute. Randall is also quite a different figure all together. The multi-limbed lizard has four legs and four arms, but not very poseable.
Mike is pretty much an eye ball with arms and legs, but he feels like a Cosbaby at least. The differences between the two Mikes are pretty obvious. Diver version has oven mits, flippers, and a large one-eyed scuba mask glued in place, just like in the scene where Boo runs amuck in their apartment. The differences between Boo and Monster Boo are more drastic as they only share the human face element. Standard Boo is the only normal Cosbaby in this set while Monster Boo is very much a standalone figure with limited articulation, much like Sulley and Randall.
Paint on these little guys is clean for the most part with appropriate details added on when necessary. Sulleys spikes down his tail are all painted in as is the pattern on Randalls back. Even Boos tentacles have the necessary paint details applied. The expressions on their face are for the most part painted on with the exception of Randall. Both Boo and Mike variants sport different expressions so theres at least that going for them.
Articulation may vary on these figures as they arent the usual cosbaby molds. Sulley has neck, shoulders, and thats it. If his legs move, mine are pretty good and stuck. Both Mike figures have shoulders, wrists, and legs only. Boo has neck shoulders, wrists, feet while her Monster disguise version has arms and maybe legs as theyre stuck as can be too. Randall has neck, two arms, and a tail articulated.
There IS only one accessory included and it belongs to standard Mike. He has the Monsters, Incorporated safety helmet! The blue helmet has the Monsters, Inc. M painted on the front and is molded to fit onto Mikes left horn.
If youre a fan of Disney-Pixar, Monsters, Inc. and Cosbabies, then these are right up your alley and will be available very soon. My hope is that they make more of the monsters!

text: WVU waving goodbye to probation By Mitch Vingle July 9, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia University athletic director Oliver Luck said corks did not pop this past Sunday.The day did, however, put the cap on WVU's NCAA-ordered probationary period in regard to football.Perhaps you've long forgotten the sanctions. It would be easy to do, considering the penalties.But back in July of 2011, the NCAA accepted WVU's self-imposed sanctions for major rules violations under ex-football coaches Rich Rodriguez and the late Bill Stewart.There were three failure-to-monitor violations involving out-of-season coaching as well as the use of non-coaching staff to work with players.In addition to a two-year probation, WVU reduced the total number of football scholarships by two for 2010-11 and one for 2011-12. It reduced the amount of hours for football activities by 23 percent. It eliminated two non-coaching graduate assistant positions and banned such assistants from attending or observing any coaching or athletically related activities, including meetings.There wasn't, however, a bowl ban or harsher penalties."I think if you talked to most of our fans," Luck said, "they'd say they didn't even notice what was happening because it was so private. We could still go to bowls. Coaches weren't suspended."It was a substantial hit, but not publicly."Luck took the WVU job on July 1, 2010, and had the problem tossed on his desk a couple of weeks later. "We received the notice [from the NCAA]," he said. "All within the [athletic] department knew something was coming. It spurred me to improve our compliance department. We brought [compliance director] Keli Cunningham home from Maryland and she's been excellent. We're being as diligent as possible."Luck said for the matter to be completely over, the NCAA must approve the school's last report. Two were required over the probation period."Technically the probation ended Sunday," he said. "But the NCAA has to review our final report. Theoretically, that could take another month or two. We're not going to celebrate until we're issued a clean bill of health."When that happens, though, it might be time to hoist a glass. In case you've forgotten (again), WVU's men's soccer program was hit with sanctions for major and minor violations back in 2007 under former coach Mike Seabolt, who was subsequently fired by then-AD Ed Pastilong. There was a two-year probation served."It's been six or seven years since we haven't been on probation," Luck said. The athletic director was asked specifically about the lapsing football penalties."I'm not sure [the reduction in football scholarships] hurt," he said. "Even this year we're not at our full scholarship count. We're two or three short of our 80 allotment. Part of that is because of sanctions, but sometimes you just can't find that last player or two that can help you. I don't think we were really affected there."He said the 23 percent reduction for football activities was served mostly during spring ball."We might have knocked off a couple hours in season," Luck said. "Spring ball is important, but when you have a senior-laden team like we did last year with Geno [Smith] and Tavon [Austin], it probably didn't hurt as much as it could have."One could certainly argue it didn't help WVU's 2012 defense. But one can't argue the loss of a couple of grad assistants hurt."To me those positions have always been for young coaches to learn," Luck said. "It's for them to gain experience to move on and become a college or high school coach. Did that hurt us? It's hard to say it did." Luck said, though, he does expect WVU to have a "full complement" of grad assistants this coming season.The athletic director again praised Cunningham for doing "a great job with coaches, boosters and athletes."The champagne, though, will wait."We're not going to pop the cork," he said, "until we get the final report."Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

White Sox proud of U.S. Little League champs
NEW YORK -- By making it to the Little League World Series championship game on Sunday, Chicago's Jackie Robinson West has provided a spark to Chicago's baseball fan base during a disappointing season for both the White Sox and Cubs.
"It's a feel-good story to have those kids playing there," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "You don't want to have it be too much for them, but on the other hand, you let it go. They're reacting to it great. You see the highlights and how they're doing, and they're fun to watch."
Jackie Robinson West, the first team made up entirely of African Americans to advance to both the U.S. championship game and world finals, dropped an 8-4 decision to South Korea on Sunday.
The White Sox have been able to catch glimpses of the action from Williamsport, Pa., but have usually been preparing or playing in games of their own at the same time. Ventura coached his son in Little League for a few years after retirement and has watched as many of Jackie Robinson West's games as he can.
We're proud of these guys. #JRW pic.twitter.com/QvbnVwYNgE
- Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) August 23, 2014
"It's fun. Having done Little League, you understand the excitement of the kids, the parents, how special it is," Ventura said. "And Williamsport is a really neat opportunity for them. The setting is great. All of those teams from different countries, how they interact and get along. I think the sportsmanship is great."

Manuel trying to find playing time for Galvis
PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies figured they should keep 23-year-old Freddy Galvis on the big league roster for two reasons. One was his glove. The other was that they calculated that they could get him enough at-bats to help him continue to develop at the plate.
So far, though, third baseman Michael Young, shortstop Jimmy Rollins and second baseman Chase Utley have started every game. And through seven games, Galvis had just two at-bats, both as a pinch-hitter.
"Sooner or later he's got to play some," manager Charlie Manuel said. "We've played six games and our infield has been playing OK, but Freddy's got to get some playing time. I've got to find him some playing time. If we're going to keep him sharp, he's going to have to get in the lineup every now and then."

TOLEDO -- The U.S. Coast Guard says a 730-foot ship in northwest Ohio backed into a pier at a dock near the Maumee River, punctured a tank and leaked fuel into the water.
The Coast Guard says a Canadian bulk carrier hauling 27,000 tons of iron ore backed into a pier near Toledo on Tuesday morning. The crew immediately pumped fuel out of a punctured tank and into a different one to stop the leak.
It wasn't immediately clear how much fuel spilled.
About 800 feet of oil containment boom was stretched out to contain the oil sheen.
No injuries were reported. The dock had minor damage.

Medina called up to replace injured Pryor
SEATTLE -- The Mariners saw a Major League debut last week with reliever Bobby LaFromboise, and they'll likely soon see another.
The club called up 24-year-old right-hander Yoervis Medina from Triple-A Tacoma to take the place of Stephen Pryor, who went on the 15-day disabled list with a tear in his right lat muscle, incurred during Sunday afternoon's win over Texas.
Medina was 0-1 with a 1.50 ERA in four appearances for the Rainiers, giving up one run on two hits in six innings. He struck out seven and walked three.
"He made an impression on us this spring, but even more of an impression … last winter," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "He was the guy to come up here and fill that role. He'll be ready to pitch tonight, and obviously we'll keep a close eye on him, this being his first time, but good for him."
As for Pryor, Wedge said the injury was relatively severe.
"We're going to see how it calms down here, but it's a substantial strain of the lat," Wedge said. "How long is it going to be? We really don't know yet. Obviously long enough for him to go on the DL, but we're probably looking beyond that as well, beyond the two weeks."
For Medina, the dream come true of being in the Major Leagues was evident in the beaming smile on his face as he met the local media for the first time.
"It's a great opportunity," Medina said. "I'm very happy."

We do not believe that any one executive compensation methodology or process will serve all organizations equally well. Therefore, we take the time to learn about your organization so that we can develop solutions that will work best for you. Consistency of the compensation approach with the overall organizational strategy and human resources management philosophy is critical.
We recommend a review of compensation strategy to assure that compensation practices are in line with overall business strategy and human resources management philosophy. Development of an overall compensation strategy prevents a patchwork approach to compensation program design. It unifies compensation efforts.
Compensation strategy would address such issues as the following:

dolcett comics
dolcett penny marsha
dolcett the hunt
dolcett jessica 3000 videos hotfile
dolcenera read all about it torrent
dolci di cucina pdfOnce the compensation strategy has been set, then we set base salary ranges for each executive position based on desired competitive position. Then development of short and long term incentive programs can begin. When developing incentive programs, we focus on identifying the types of behavior and results to be rewarded as well as on designing the formulas used to fund and distribute incentive pay. We believe that measures of performance should be simple, comprehensive of the executives' area of accountability, and be linked to business strategy. Incentive rewards are designed to be commensurate with effort required and contributions made. Outstanding achievements call for outstanding rewards, average achievements call for average rewards, below average achievements call for below average rewards.
We pay close attention to the linkage between incentive plans for different employee groups. We use a top down organizational approach in designing plans. The top management incentive plans reward management for achieving key business objectives. The differences between levels in terms of performance measures hinges on identification of results which are controllable by the employee. As you move down the organizational ladder, the impact of the individual on company profitability diminishes so additional or alternate measures need to be utilized which more directly reflect the employee's area of accountability.

ATLANTA — The LSU Tigers could once again be the Cotton's pick.
Alabama's 32-28 victory over Georgia on Saturday night in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game made it appear likely, though not official, that the Tigers would be heading to the AT&T Cotton Bowl for the second time in three seasons.
Cotton Bowl chairman Tommy Bain told the Austin American-Statesman on Saturday night that LSU is "the favorite in the clubhouse."
If LSU does play in the Cotton Bowl, its opponent is likely to be Texas. The Longhorns finished 8-4 on Saturday after a 42-24 loss to Big 12 co-champion Kansas State.
The Cotton Bowl is Jan. 4 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m. on Fox.
With LSU shut out of a BCS bowl because of 11-1 Florida (currently No. 4 in the BCS and likely to finish above No. 3 Georgia), the Cotton Bowl became the Tigers' most appealing postseason destination.
The trip to Dallas-Fort Worth is an easy one for LSU fans from Louisiana, LSU has numerous alumni in the area and the eastern third of Texas is a fertile recruiting ground for the Tigers.
"I believe we should be headed to the Cotton Bowl," LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva said Saturday night.
CBSSports.com and CollegeFootballNews.com projected an LSU-Texas Cotton Bowl matchup. Still, with a glut of two-loss SEC teams, the conference's bowl picture was far from settled. Several media outlets, including the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reported that No. 9 LSU (10-2) would be headed to Atlanta to play Dec. 31 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The opponent likely would be No. 15 Clemson (10-2), though there was an outside chance Clemson could wind up with an invitation to the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
The Sugar, which will be played Jan. 2, is expected to land Florida and Big 12 co-champion Oklahoma (10-2).
There remained a possibility that if the Cotton does take Georgia that LSU could wind up in the Outback Bowl, Jan. 1 in Tampa, Fla. Michigan (8-4), which LSU has never played, and Northwestern (9-3) were the likely opponents.
Bowl invitations will not be officially extended until Sunday night, after the BCS bowl matchups are announced.
There has been speculation that the SEC would like the Cotton to protect the SEC Championship Game loser. Alabama could well have been the Cotton Bowl's selection had it lost, but Bain said LSU has made a strong impression with its fans.
LSU season-ticket holders pre-ordered 16,546 Cotton Bowl tickets, university spokesman Herb Vincent said. Each team is allotted 12,500 tickets according to Cotton Bowl spokesman Charlie Fiss, who attended the SEC title game. Aside from each school's allotment, the Cotton Bowl is sold out.
There was once strong sentiment for a first-ever Texas/Texas A&M Cotton Bowl, but the Aggies (10-2) appear likely to get snapped up by the Capital One. There was also concern over the political viability of such a game since the Aggies just bolted from the Big 12 to the SEC.
"The political truth is a lot of people don't want (a Texas/Texas A&M) matchup," Bain told the Austin newspaper. "I'm not going to say who pushed hardest."
This would be LSU's third trip to Cowboys Stadium. The Tigers beat Texas A&M 41-24 in the 2011 Cotton Bowl and topped Oregon 40-27 in their 2011 season opener.
LSU will open the 2013 season Aug. 31 in Cowboys Stadium against TCU, but Cotton Bowl president Rick Baker said Friday that his game isn't worried about "Cowboys Stadium fatigue" among LSU fans.
If the opponent is Texas, it would be the first game between the Tigers and Longhorns since the 2003 Cotton Bowl, a 35-20 Longhorns win. LSU is 3-1-1 in the Cotton Bowl all time.

E. Beltre to begin rehab assignment
ARLINGTON -- Outfielder Engel Beltre will begin a 20-day medical rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, the Rangers announced Wednesday.
Beltre, an outfielder, began the season on the disabled list with a fracture in his right tibia.
"I think with the situation we're in, if he can go on this rehab assignment ... he could be a big help to us," Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
"It is key for him to get back and play baseball, and he could help his organization, too."

In this week's print edition you'll find a full story on the lesbian couple from Bedford whose 4-year-old daughter was recently denied admission to a local preschool, St. Vincent's Cathedral School, because she has two mommies. We also wanted to share the full text of responses to our questions that we received via e-mail from Ryan Reed, the dean of St. Vincent's. Here they are:
DV: Why was Olivia Harrison denied admission to St. Vincent?
Dean Ryan Reed: When we met with Jill and learned of her family situation, we told her that the values taught at the school were in conflict with those at home. We thought this might put Olivia in a very conflicted situation to which Jill agreed. We don't dispute God's love for this family just that one of the basic Christian values that we subscribe to is sexual activity inside a faithful, lifelong relationship between a husband and wife. As best we could ascertain, this was not something that Jill was in agreement about.
DV: Why did the school fail to notice in more than two months that Jill Harrison had crossed out father and put mother on the application, and written in the name of her wife, Tracy Harrison?
Reed: When the admissions officer saw the changes on the application, she made 4 or 5 phone calls and sent at least one email asking for clarification, none of which were returned. We don't have documentation of the phone calls but we do for the email.
DV: Why is the school continuing to use the name Episcopal even though it is no longer affiliated with the Episcopal Church USA?
Reed: This is obviously the confusing issue but far less emotional then having to say this family would not be a good fit. St. Vincent's is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort, which is a corporation in the state of Texas run by a board of trustees. This diocese and this corporation voted to withdraw our voluntary association with the Episcopal Church USA and associate with a different province of the Anglican Communion (of which TEC is but one) but that did not change the fact that this is an Episcopal Diocese, governed by a Bishop using the Book of Common Prayer. This messy issue is what is at dispute in the Texas Court System right now. TEC does not own the term Episcopal. There is in this country the Charismatic Episcopal Church for example or in other places the Scottish Episcopal Church. In conversation, I refer to myself as an Anglican but until the lawsuit is settled we are still the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth, "province of the Southern Cone" (which is part of South America).
DV: Is it true that St. Vincent would allow Olivia Harrison to attend the school if she were a single, unmarried lesbian?
Reed: Yes. Our handbook asks our parents and requires our staff to abide by basic Christian values. That means abstinence or sexual activity confined to marriage. We have been consistent with this policy in that an unmarried teacher became pregnant and was dismissed. Likewise, we turned away two men with a daughter two years ago, and like the Harrison's, referred them to a school where they would be more comfortable and their relationship accepted. (They are doing quite well there by the way). We have banned a husband from the school who left his wife for another women. The child stayed with the mother in this case and was not asked to leave.
We are simply asking people to strive toward the traditional Christian teaching in matters of how we live our lives. We don't follow people around if they are single and dating to make sure the date stops at the front door. We don't monitor what husband and wives are doing. But if something becomes public, we try to handle it in a pastoral and private way. By nature, Jill and Tracey's relationship is very public.
We recognize that every parent who comes here is by nature prone to sin. We simply ask that they attempt to live by basic Christian values. In this case, the Harrison's relationship was by nature in opposition to this belief and it is by nature a requirement that they cannot meet.
DV: How do you justify punishing a 4-year-old girl for who her parents are?
Reed: Back to the first answer. Because this young girl would likely hear Christian teaching on marriage at St. Vincent's as well as the struggle that we all have with sin, she might be put in a place where she questioned not only the values of her mother but her moral authority as well. Olivia would certainly find herself in conflict with most of classmates when it comes to this very tough subject. We would not want this to happen to Jill, Tracey, or Olivia. It seems far from punishment to me, in fact, it seems more loving to refer them to a school that can accommodate their family situation rather than put her in a situation where the moral legitimacy (and still in Texas the legal legitimacy) of her mom's relationship is called into question.
One final thought: I am not the pastor of the school parents which ties my hands a little. In the congregation, where I am pastor, we have a loving community of sinners who are all working through their walk with God. We have, and have had, gays and lesbians, both couples and singles. Without singling them out, they have been asked to wrestle alongside the rest of us with the fact that they are sinners in need of God's forgiveness. Trying to conform our lives and our relationships with God's will for us is done in a private and pastoral way.

Hampshire, United Kingdom -- The number of coupons redeemed through mobile and tablet devices is expected to reach 10 billion this year, up by more than 50% compared with last year, according to a new report from Juniper Research.
The study, "Mobile Coupons-The Smart Way to Shop," found that innovative retailers are increasingly seeking to offer mobile as a delivery channel, both as a means of driving retail traffic and to enhance consumer engagement and retention. It pointed out that while mobile still accounted for a comparatively low volume of coupons issued, retailers had been encouraged by the markedly higher average redemption rate of mobile coupons (10%) when compared to traditional print media and PC coupons (typically 1% or less).
Among the report's key findings:
- Apple's recent high-profile launch of Passbook is expected to act as a catalyst to both coupon deployments and adoption.
- Retailer reluctance to upgrade POS terminals for authentication and redemption is creating a bottleneck, effectively suppressing the deployment of mobile coupons.
The report noted that mobile couponing offered retailers the opportunity to marry their digital and physical assets.

A consultant has recommended the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority use its influence to urge state officials to conduct a parallel environmental review of competing seawater desalination proposals, rather than focusing only on California American Water's preferred project.
Independent water resources consultant Kris Helm delivered that message in a memo to the water authority's technical advisory committee, which discussed Helm's preliminary findings on Monday.
Helm was hired by the authority to conduct an evaluation of permitting and financing aspects of three desal proposals, including Cal Am's north Marina desal plant, Nader Agha's People's Project, and Brent Constantz's Deep Water Desal, as part of a larger comparison study being led by SPI, Inc.
Helm wrote that he was struck by the "limited ability" of the state Public Utilities Commission to act as lead agency for environmental review of the desalination project based entirely on the structure of Cal Am's proposal.
A cursory review of available data for the projects, he wrote, indicated that all three of the proposals include "difficult issues" with the "substantial potential" to present obstacles during environmental review that could result in project delays.
Neither Cal Am's subsurface intake approach, which employs slant wells to provide desal plant feeder water, nor the open ocean water intake method employed by the People's Project and Deep Water Desal, is clearly superior, Helm said.
Given the potential that problems with either approach could prove fatal to any preferred project's future, he wrote that "it is imprudent for the (authority) to put all of its reliance upon an administrative process that is designed around a preference for one alternative versus another."
Instead, he argued he felt "very strongly that the (authority) should make every effort to ensure that these fundamentally different approaches is given equal footing in the environmental review.
"Indeed, to my way of thinking, the administrative process for review would be fundamentally flawed if it were to pre?determine which of these methods of interfacing with the ocean is superior to the other."
Helm said the authority could play a vital role in answering critical questions related to the proposals and the environmental review process.
He said the CPUC is preparing a notice of intent and is expected to conduct environmental review scoping hearings in the next few weeks.
Helm also suggested schedules for the desal proposals all seem to be "overly optimistic" given the uncertain path for environmental review and the difficult questions to be evaluated and resolved, and recommended the authority work with the project proponents on a more detailed compliance schedule.
Helm said it has taken other desal projects, such as Carlsbad, several years to obtain major permits such as coastal development and pollution discharge following certification of an environmental impact report.
The advisory committee postponed consideration of a preliminary report from SPI, which found that all three desal proposals included potential obstacles that could be overcome by the 2016 deadline for providing a replacement source of water for the Peninsula, which is facing a state?ordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River.

exactly 25 days remain until the opening of trainingscamp.
Nothing is happening, it seems, Wolkowhatever is a no chance except on a non guaranteed contract, my opinion however is that he wont take the risk of being pulverized by Harrison or worse Polly to remain emptyhanded.
We got SJax, we lost Al "blackhole" Harrington.
The contest for best dressed benchman is wide open with the departure of Brewer, and the least playing "big man" contest has some new blood, but will remain a toss-up between Polly and Harrie.
Starters are pretty cemented, non one will take away places from JO, Ron Ron, Mel and Jeff, the only question in some eyes will be whether Reggie or SJax starts, my money is on Reggie, playing a grand total of 12 -16 minutes per game.
Yes, JB will be better remembered at the end of the season coming for bball then drink, I predict we will all be happily surprised.
Who will be "visiting" us in camp? are there any ideas on whether we will get a 15th man to fill the bench or will we do another start with 14?
How fit will JO be, and how well behaved will Ron Ron be this year?
if you have an idea on any of this, please share.

Mancuso to promote Tahoe license plates
April 2, 2012
RENO, Nev. – U.S. Ski Team champion and Olympic gold medalist Julia Mancuso is lending her support to raise money for Lake Tahoe environmental projects.
The Squaw Valley resident will appear in television, radio and print advertisements to promote the Lake Tahoe License Plate for Powder program.
When the specialty license plates are purchased through the nonprofit Tahoe Fund, buyers receive two lift tickets or day passes to participating ski or cross-country resorts.
The tickets are good Sunday through Friday for the rest of the ski season.
A portion of Lake Tahoe license plate sales and renewals in California and Nevada helps fund environmental projects at the Sierra lake that straddles the two states.
Mancuso won the giant slalom and super-G competitions at the U.S. nationals in Colorado last week

DETROIT - Our home is usually the largest investment that most of us make during our life.
But living in a house, is not something that just runs on automatic pilot.
Over the course of time, things will break and deterioration of the physical structure will occur.
When we are dealing with the daily cost of living and the up-keep of our home becomes a demand, we have to shift our spending priorities.
Most senior citizens, 30 or 40 years ago, where able to make those adjustments. But today with the high cost of medicine, food and other necessities, sometimes it just becomes impossible to address the up-keep needs of their homes.
What do they do?
Well, that is where Pastor Marvin Youmans steps in.
Three years ago, after having a conversation with some folks in Oakland County, he learned about a program that provides a helping hand to senior citizens who were struggling to make home repairs.
Rev. Youmans has served as pastor of the Mt. Carmel Missionary Baptist Church on Oakland Ave in Detroit for 15 years.
This has given him a good perspective on the needs of the neighborhood along with allowing him to establish extensive personal relationships.
Rev. Youmans form the North End Ministers Alliance to help provide a structure that could address the issue of seniors whose house's needs repair.
For the past three years, through the leadership of Pastor Youmans, a cadre of supporters and volunteers have come together for this effort.
Supporters like Comerica Bank, Next Detroit, Detroit Area Agency on Aging and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Foundation have contributed resources.
Mr. Al Founche serves as House Captain, he organizes and coordinates the work of contractors who volunteer their services, such as contractors; Bailey Tate of Candai Construction, Derrick Love of L&L Builders, Young Detroit Builders and Mr. White's Pluming.
They also have an annual fundraiser that assist in covering costs.
Five houses have been rebuilt through all of their efforts.
In order to qualify the seniors must be low income, be up to date with taxes and insurance on the house and they must have the deed to the property.
"There are so many that have a need. We are constantly developing ways to raise resources so we can aid those in need," said Pastor Youmans. "The church must continually find ways to demonstrate Christian love and that love must become active in impacting the lives of those in the community."
Pastor Marvin Youmans is truly an " Everyday Hero, Making a Difference"
On a daily basis in spite of life's struggles and challenges, there are people who reach out and make a positive impact on the lives of others.
That is why Local 4 and a prominent local clergyman, Rev. V. Lonnie Peek, Jr. have teamed up to tell their stories.
Do you know an everyday hero in your life? E-mail us and tell us about them.

Hey, at least Izzy isn't in the 2-hole.
But seriously, is Cozart dinged up?
3 lefties in a row? Did I miss a change to league rules?
Cursh14 (07-25-2013)
Cozart must be dinged up, explains why he didn't play the 2nd game.
Maybe Cozart has visa problems.
Sorry it is my theme for the week.
Fay pretending it is not the visa tweeted this:
Cozart is dealing with stiffness in his hip. Is available to pinch-hit. Cingrani would have pinch run for him last night if he got on. #reds

Sigh. PIT up 1-0 in the 7th and STL up 2-0 in the 3rd.
Winning this division ain't going to be easy.
I heard your record..it's alright.
Make that 4-0 Pittsburgh.
A win is gonna be necessary to tread water.

Gnats trying to rally. 4-2. Runner on first. One out. GIDP. It is a final now.
Reds game on after Mets game on extra Innings free preview for time warner customers.
Well, here we go. This looks like it could very easily end up being something of a pitcher's duel, but we will see.
Of course, I'd be happy to be proved wrong, at least when it comes to the Reds. Double for Choo.
Choo lines a double to left center.
Paul grounds out to 2nd. Runner to 3rd.
