Columbus -- The state lawmakers will begin hearings Monday (Aug. 18) on legislation to repeal Common Core standards being implemented in Ohio schools.
The Ohio House's Rules and Reference Committee has scheduled sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to hear from individuals and groups that support the repeal effort.
Monday's hearing is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. in Room 313 and will include comments from Reps. Matt Huffman (R-Lima) and Andy Thompson (R-Marietta), the primary sponsors of the legislation.
Additional hearings are set for Tuesday from 9-11 a.m. and after 5 p.m. and Wednesday beginning at 9 a.m.
All three days are slated for "proponent testimony." Carolyn Best, a spokeswoman for the Ohio House Republican Caucus, said additional hearings are being considered for those who oppose the repeal legislation.
HB 597, which seeks "to repeal and replace the Common Core initiative academic standards and related assessment system," remains placeholder legislation, with Huffman and Thompson planning to amend potential law changes.
As of Friday, Aug. 15, the bill included a short paragraph outlining the ultimate goal -- to rescind Common Core standards for language arts and mathematics and "replace them with academic content standards that have been proven and tested and will ensure the maintenance of local control over the implementation and use of the standards."
Thompson earlier introduced a bill to repeal Common Core standards in Ohio, prohibit the state board of education from using assessments based on those standards and block the dissemination of certain student data to the federal government.
But Thompson's initial bill quickly stalled, without enough support from other Republicans in the chamber or the chairman of the education committee.
Huffman and Thompson announced a renewed effort to repeal the standards late last month, with intentions to hold hearings and have legislation ready for a floor vote when lawmakers return to session after the November election.
Backers of Common Core say the standards are an effort to ensure every high school graduate has the foundational knowledge needed for college, technical schools or other career paths.
But critics say the standards represent an overreach of the federal government and corporate interests into local classrooms, with resulting textbook lessons so convoluted or awkwardly phrased that students and their parents don't understand them.

ROCHESTER -- By turning in one of its most dominant 20-minute stretches of the season in the second half, Oakland University sailed past visiting IUPUI on Sunday to record its first Summit League win of the year, 68-59.
The Golden Grizzlies' shooters were red-hot throughout the contest, converting a season-high 61 percent of their attempts, including success on 15-for-20 shots after halftime.
After a back-and-forth start to the second half that featured multiple lead changes, Oakland (7-7, 1-1 Summit) eventually captured control of the scoreboard for good with 13:24 to play in the game after a pair of Elizabeth Hamlet free throws. The Grizzlies' lead ballooned to as many as 14 points down the stretch as IUPUI could no longer keep pace offensively.
"We went into halftime a little bit upset at the outcome and rightfully so. From that moment on, it was a refuse to lose attitude," Hamlet said, referring to the Jaguars' 8-2 scoring run to end the first half.
With 13 points, Hamlet was one of just two Oakland players to reach double figures, as all nine players that entered for the Grizzlies got on the score sheet.
Just as she was in Friday's loss, freshman Elena Popkey was a consistent offensive force for Oakland, tallying a game-high 20 points, including three 3-pointers.
Francis attributed her team's improved shooting performance to better shot selection, as well as a favorable matchup against IUPUI's style of defense.
"(Our players) read the defense, they made great back cuts, they made great passes, and our bench was huge," Francis said.
"I was really pleased with how we handled their press. We said that it really helped playing Michigan State, Purdue and UConn (earlier this season). We learned a lot from that and I thought our players were really smart in how they beat it tonight."
A re-commitment to sound rebounding technique was also critical, enabling Oakland to overcome a near disastrous start to the game that saw the team fall behind 7-0 after a slew of offensive rebounds by IUPUI. Unhappy with the game's early developments, Grizzlies coach Beckie Francis was forced to call a timeout just two minutes into the game.
"We're a winning program, and we weren't pleased that we lost our home opener (on Friday)," Francis said. "We addressed (rebounding) at that 18-minute mark and said if you want to win the game, we have to start boxing out. They just turned it around after a little while longer. They had so much fight and pulled down the rebounds when we needed them to."
After losing the first-half rebounding battle 24-13, IUPUI managed to pull down just six boards in the final 20 minutes.
Oakland received a boost from Shelby Herrington off the bench in the opening minutes of the second half, as the sophomore forward knocked down three-straight jump shots shortly before the Grizzlies took a lead it wouldn't relinquish.
"Shelby was huge. The fact that she hit the shots (was good), but she knew when to take them. She came in aggressive and sprinted the floor to play good defense," Francis said. "I thought that was the key to the game. That 6-0 Shelby Herrington run was a turnaround."
The Jaguars (7-7, 1-1 Summit) were led by Akilah Sims and Kerah Nelson, who each recorded 10 points.
Up next, Oakland will be on the road to face first-year Summit League member Nebraska-Omaha on Thursday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have emerged as the favorites to land free agent righthander Zack Greinke, the top starter available this offseason, the Boston Herald reports.
That leaves the Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels, who also have made Greinke a top offseason target, "on the outside looking in," the newspaper reports.
The Dodgers want to add a front-line starting pitcher to complement lefthander Clayton Kershaw in hopes of making a deep postseason run.
Greinke, 29, is expected to command a deal worth more than $100 million, but money has seemingly is no object for the Dodgers' new owners, the deep-pocketed Guggenheim Baseball Management group. The team took on more than a quarter of a billion dollars in salary during to season to acquire Hanley Ramirez from the Miami Marlins and Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett and Nick Punto from the Boston Red Sox.
Greinke, who won the 2009 AL Cy Young award while pitching for the Kansas City Royals, started 2012 with the Milwaukee Brewers before being traded to the Angels in July. Overall, he went 15-5 with a 3.48 ERA, 200 strikeouts and 54 walks.

Oklahoma Senator Reintroduces Guest Worker Permit Bill
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A Republican state senator from Seminole says he'll reintroduce a proposal to allow illegal immigrants to work in Oklahoma.
Sen. Harry Coates of Seminole says he's filed a bill to allow illegal immigrants who are 18 or older to stay in the state if they purchase a guest worker permit, find a sponsor who will both hire them and provide health insurance.
The permit would cost $1,000 and the workers must agree to a criminal background check and provide a home address and phone number.
Coates sponsored a similar bill earlier this year that was never heard in a Senate committee. It carried a permit fee of $2,000, prohibited the illegal immigrants from receiving unemployment payments and required them to provide evidence that they would not operate a motor vehicle.Copyright 2012 The Associated Press.

More than 500 children in the Virginia foster care system age out each year. Without social or family support foster care children experience significant challenges living on their own. Too often, unemployment, underemployment, homelessness and incarceration face young adults as they age out of foster care. However, with access to education these same youth can find satisfying, well paying jobs and a future rich with possibilities.

A number of years ago I was in Atlanta, Georgia, as an attorney representing a man who was buying a business. After several days of negotiations we reached an agreement and signed the closing documents. That evening one of the sellers invited us to a dinner to celebrate the closing. When I arrived, he offered me an alcoholic drink, which I declined. He then said, "Are you a Saint?" I didn't fully understand what he meant, and he repeated, "Are you a Latter-day Saint?" I responded, "Yes, I am," and he said he had been observing my personal habits during our negotiations and had concluded that I was either LDS or had a stomach problem. We both chuckled. He then informed me that he had only known one member of the Church on a personal basis, David B. Haight. They were both executives in Chicago with a large retail chain following World War II. He told me of the significant influence Elder Haight had been in his life and that he held him in the highest regard.
As I flew back home to San Francisco, I thought about what had occurred, especially in two respects: I was surprised at how it felt to be asked if I was a Saint, and I was impressed with the positive influence one outstanding example—Elder Haight—had on this good man.
What does it mean to be a Saint? In the Lord's Church, the members are Latter-day Saints, and they attempt to emulate the Savior, follow His teachings, and receive saving ordinances in order to live in the celestial kingdom with God the Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. 1 The Savior said, "This is my gospel; and ye know the things that ye must do in my church; for the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do." 2
It is not easy to be a Latter-day Saint. It was not meant to be easy. The ultimate goal of living in the presence of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, is a privilege almost beyond comprehension.
Among the greatest trials the Church has ever faced were the Martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith and then ultimately the expulsion of the Saints from Nauvoo. When they were making their way across the plains under very adverse circumstances, William Clayton penned the great hymn "Come, Come, Ye Saints." It was a hymn that stirred their souls and helped them remember their sacred mission. Who among us does not become emotional as we feel their sacrifice, courage, and commitment when we sing: "And should we die before our journey's through, / Happy day! All is well!" 3
This hymn gave them comfort, solace, and hope in a time of great difficulty with almost insurmountable obstacles. It buoyed them up and highlighted the fact that this mortal life is a journey between premortal life and eternal life to come—the great plan of happiness. Brother Clayton's inspiring hymn emphasizes sacrifices and what it really means to be a Saint. Our pioneer members met the challenges of their day to be Saints.
The word saint in Greek denotes "set apart, separate, [and] holy." 4 If we are to be Saints in our day, we need to separate ourselves from evil conduct and destructive pursuits that are prevalent in the world.
We are bombarded with visual images of violence and immorality. Inappropriate music and pornography are increasingly tolerated. The use of drugs and alcohol is rampant. There is less emphasis on honesty and character. Individual rights are demanded, but duties, responsibilities, and obligations are neglected. There has been a coarsening of dialogue and increased exposure to that which is base and vulgar. The adversary has been relentless in his efforts to undermine the plan of happiness. If we separate ourselves from this worldly conduct, we will have the Spirit in our lives and experience the joy of being worthy Latter-day Saints.
As Saints, we also need to avoid the worship of worldly gods. President Hinckley has expressed the desire that "everyone might have some of the good things of life" but has cautioned, "It is the obsession with riches that cankers and destroys." 5
In 1630 John Winthrop set forth a vision for the new land (America) on behalf of his fellow passengers as he sailed on board the Arbella. It has become known as "The City upon a Hill" sermon. In the final paragraph, Winthrop references Deuteronomy 30 [Deut. 30] and warns against worshiping and serving other gods—particularly emphasizing "pleasures, and profits." 6 In the recent past President Kimball counseled that even homes, boats, credentials, titles, and other similar pursuits can be worshiped as idols when they entice us away from love and service to God. 7
The prophet Moroni, speaking of our day, warned about the love of money and substance and suggested that we would love them more than we "love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted." 8
If we are to be worthy Saints, we should minister to others and adhere to the Savior's admonition to love God and our fellowmen.
Separation from the evils of the world needs to be accompanied by holiness. A Saint loves the Savior and follows Him in holiness and devotion. 9 Evidence of this kind of holiness and devotion is exemplified by consecration and sacrifice. President Hinckley has taught, "Without sacrifice there is no true worship of God." 10 Sacrifice is the crowning test of the gospel. It means consecrating time, talents, energy, and earthly possessions to further the work of God. In Doctrine and Covenants 97, verse 8 [D&C 97:8], it concludes, "All … who … are willing to observe their covenants by sacrifice—yea, every sacrifice which I, the Lord, shall command—they are accepted of me."
Saints who respond to the Savior's message will not be led astray by distracting and destructive pursuits and will be prepared to make appropriate sacrifices. The importance of sacrifice to those who want to be Saints is exemplified by the atoning sacrifice of the Savior, which is at the center of the gospel. 11
Coming back to the original question that my acquaintance in Atlanta asked, "Are you a Saint?" may I suggest three questions that will allow for a self-assessment.
First, is the way we live consistent with what we believe, and would our friends and associates recognize, as Elder Haight's friend did, that we have separated ourselves from worldly evils?
Second, are worldly pleasures, profits, and similar pursuits distracting us from following, worshiping, and serving the Savior in our daily lives?
Third, in order to serve God and be holy, are we making sacrifices consistent with our covenants?
What a wonderful blessing it is to be a Latter-day Saint. I love the words in the last lines of the hymn "O Saints of Zion":
I testify that avoiding evil and destructive pursuits and sacrificing in order to serve will qualify us to experience the joy of being committed Latter-day Saints and, as the scriptures promise, bring "peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come." 13 In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

OPI Sephora by OPI Reviews
THE NAME IS CONFUSING, THE POLISH GREATI am still confused as to why these nail enamels are called "Sephora by OPI." These are the same formula. There are a lot of lovely shades. They wear well and resist chipping (although not as well as "Seche" colors). On Sephora there is a virtual "try-on" tool where you adjust a hand picture according to your own skin tone, nail shape, and nail length. I like that. It gives you an idea of what to expect. — 4 years, 2 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews
There is no difference.The OPI Sephora and OPI regular are the same formula in my opinion. I have tried both, and they are awesome. The OPI Sephora polishes don't fade or chip and Sephora has a great variety of colors. — 6 years, 7 months agoCaroleVonAllten | 1401 reviews

Same thingIf you're an OPI fan, these are basically the same thing. There are a few exclusive colors sold at Sephora as opposed to elsewhere. Unfortunately this along with high demand causes Sephora to sell these at a higher price, even though it's the same formula. — 6 years, 5 months agovolta | 566 reviews

Almost as goodI know everyone says these are the same formula as the regular OPI, but I haven't found that to be quite the case. These chip just a little more easily on my nails, and the brush isn't nearly as nice. I still have a few colors, though, since as others have stated, Sephora carries a lot of exclusive shades that you can't get from the normal OPI. — 5 years, 5 months agotallredamanda | 433 reviews

nice colorI bought these recently when there was a sale, and I have to say I've never tried OPI before but I'll be checking out their next collection for sure. I only had to use one coat of this nail polish, it dries fast, has a great thick color that isn't at all transparent and it doesn't chip after the first day. The color looks great on my nails, it's smooth and quick drying. Great polish. — 6 years, 7 months agoBon_Bon | 522 reviews
super cutethese nail polishes are very versatile and come in many fun colors. the sephora by OPI brand is really fun and cute! the bottle is a little smaller than the original but it works just as well. the quality is amazing and the colors are very opaque. the brush is a little thinner than the original but it still works very well. — 6 years, 9 months agokenya | 504 reviews
Review subjectI have bought two polishes from this brand. Both wore and applied very well. However, I have heard from friends that certain colors have less than desirable formulas. I would recommend doing a little research on the specific color you wish to buy to see if the formula is wonky before you buy the shade. — 6 years, 2 months agoTheLacqueredLady | 751 reviews
LOVEI was really surprised by these nail polishes! The color selection is really amazing, and the price is a little expensive at around $9 a bottle- but it is really worth it! My first color was Club Scene Queen which is a sheer black base with blue micro glitter and I instantly fell in love! Since then, I tried a few limited edition shades- Hi Def which is a creamy coral orange and Fancy Schamancy w...read morehich is a sparkly sheer silver. Again, those colors can NOT be beat. The coverage on all of the polishes are great, and they dry extremely fast without having a gimmicky fast drying claim. I have always loved OPI, but Sephora by OPI is even better! The display in my Sephora(a a Sephora inside JC Penney) has a HUGE display of these, but I suggest heading to the clearance instead. I waited untill Hi Def and Fancy Schmany were being discontinued then snagged them on clearance for only $2 each!

Same great OPIThe only difference that I can tell between this and the normal OPI is that it costs a little bit more. That said I would probably buy the regular OPI at either Ulta or Penny's because then I am able to use a coupon to make the price a little bit cheaper. — 5 years, 5 months agobeautybody | 128 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
VANCOUVER—Don't judge him by his smile or his Twitter feed (where his views on religion and hunting have essentially made him the antithesis to teammate Roberto Luongo): this season is one of monumental importance for Vancouver Canucks winger David Booth.
Booth, 28, was acquired by the Canucks just a handful of games into the 2011-12 campaign for what essentially amounted to two spare parts; no offense to Marco Sturm and Mikael Samuelsson, but considering their age and injury history, they were afterthoughts by that point.
"It's an opportunity to have a top-six forward and a left-winger to play with Ryan Kesler," general manager Mike Gillis said at the time. "Ryan knows him very well. He's scored over 30 goals in the league before and he's 26 years old."
Considering that, and what they had given up to acquire his services, pulling the trigger (pun fully intended) wasn't all that difficult a decision for Gillis and Co. Top-six wingers don't grow on trees, and he figured to provide a much-needed shot in the arm (last one, I promise) for a team desperate for a secondary source of scoring.
Flash-forward nearly two years, and you'd have to consider the move a bust. Since the trade, he has appeared in 73 games (out of a potential 133), registering just 17 goals and 33 total points. Those totals don't scream, "Give that guy $4.5 million per season for his efforts".
Don't Canucks fans know it. But while Booth certainly hasn't lived up to the hype, there's no denying that he has had about as unlucky a stretch as a person who gets paid millions of dollars to play professional hockey can have.
Firs the injuries, which haven't allowed him to generate any sort of traction. Just as he was finally starting to settle in and build a rapport with his linemates following the trade, a gruesome injury sidelined him for six6 weeks; he went knee-on-knee with Avalanche forward Kevin Porter (a play for which Porter was suspended four games). Then came the snake-bitten 2013 season; he missed the first month or so after injuring his groin in the offseason, and just 12 games after returning, he broke his ankle. Season over.
Even when he has managed to be on the ice, though, the fact that he has "played well" hasn't correlated with "getting results". While the counting stats that I mentioned above aren't anything to write home about, his underlying metrics have been fantastic. It's because of this that Canucks Army (our nerdy little haven for Canucks-centric analytically-based analysis) has waged war with the "eye test" crowd of Canucks fans for months now regarding the merits of David Booth, the hockey player.
With Booth on the ice, the team controlled 57.3 percent of all shot attempts in 2011-12, and 60.5 percent last season. He has proven over the years that he doesn't need to be sheltered (given soft competition) in order to drive play and tilt the ice in the favor of his team. Though he has been able to generate shots at a high rate, though, the percentages have betrayed him.
He made his preseason debut on Thursday night and played 15:51, barely missed scoring a goal on a 2-on-1, and most importantly, avoided any sort of setback. He'll start the season back on Kesler's left wing, and if the two can stay on the ice (admittedly a big 'if' at this point) their chemistry should in theory translate to the sort of relief for Henrik and Daniel Sedin that the Canucks have desperately been looking for the past two seasons.
Ironically enough, Booth's luck may have turned as he nursed the aforementioned ankle injury. Since he wasn't medically cleared by the time the buyout window passed, he was essentially granted a final chance to make amends with the Canucks. The six-year, $25.5 million deal he signed back in 2009 comes off of the books this summer, and considering his advancing age—he'll be 29, which isn't exactly a spring chicken for goal scorers—he's probably hoping to convince a team to give him a final long-term deal this summer.
When asked about Booth prior to the game against the Rangers, coach John Tortorella said that he's "dying to see him in game action. He's a very good player that we're just trying to get healthy."
Let's hope that happens, for both Booth's sake and the Canucks'.

Mr. Billings raises a good point - except for some incredibly pro-Jhana fringe opinions, almost all would agree that obtaining Jhana is not the end of our path. It's a great tool but it must be balanced with insight. I know a lot of people who have obtained every Jhana there is but far fewer truly noble ones who have put it to good use!

There are more than a million words in the English language, and, if you happen to be competing in an American spelling bee, there's just one acceptable way to spell most of them.
A few techniques that might help: Close your eyes and stare toward the ceiling ... use one hand to twist the index finger of the other ... wrinkle your nose ... scratch an itch ...
Fourth- and fifth-graders from more than two dozen local schools used all of the those tactics Saturday at San Benancio Middle School, as they battled for one grand prize at the 30th annual Monterey County Spelling Bee sponsored by The Lyceum of Monterey County.
The best strategy, turns out, was to study in advance (who knew?) and read a lot.
It was also helpful if some other poor kid drew a word like "juxtapose," "untoward," "cauldron," "apocalypse," "seismic," "prophecy," "colloquial" or "ogre."
The last one standing in a field of 54 spelling whizzes was 10-year-old Dagny Brej (try spelling that one), a fifth-grader from Monterey's San Carlos School, where, believe it or not, she only managed a first-quarter "B" in language arts, her favorite class along with science.
"I'm not surprised because she loves to read, and the more you read, the better the speller you are," said her teacher, Karen McKenzie. "Reading really makes a difference."
With a light-brown ponytail dangling over her left shoulder, Dagny zipped through words like "poisonous," "rupture," "bruise" and "disrupting" in the earlier rounds, and then, as one of just four survivors, coolly eliminated the rest of her competition by spelling "reminisce" and, finally, "deductions."
"I loved that she got the word 'deductions,'" said her mother, Carol. "Mrs. McKenzie does these great projects with the kids, using learning tools, and one of the things they do is taxes, which they pay with 'San Carlos bucks.' She loves calculating the deductions, so when she got that word I almost laughed out loud."
Runner-up Olivia Liu from Washington Union School bowed out by misspelling "feminine" after effortlessly handling "precarious," "projectile," "pervasive," "premonition" and "ultimatum," among other words.
Third place went to Stevenson School's Genevieve Baldwin, and Giancarlos Velez of Monterey County Home Charter School earned the fourth-place plaque after wowing the audience earlier by correctly spelling a word that even scared the eventual champ: "lugubrious."
"The word 'lugubrious' definitely is the one I'll remember from today. I'll never forget that word," Dagny said with a laugh. "I was glad somebody else had to spell that one."
Competitors had the advantage of studying all of the words that were used in the first two rounds — easy stuff like "monologue," "proffered" and "adolescent."
Then the contest became more diabolical. Words used in the third round and the finals (in which 18 of the original 54 were still standing) weren't on the study list. That's where Dagny's voracious reading habits (she devours an entire "Harry Potter" book in three days) became helpful.
"I read a lot, so I know some spelling patterns, and I used those to figure out some of the words I wasn't sure about," Dagny said.
"She studied the words we were allowed to study, and then, every once in a while, her brother and I would toss her some big, squirrelly words that weren't on the list, just to see what she'd do with them," her mother said. "And she usually did pretty well."
Dagny said she slept poorly Friday night — she didn't doze off until 3 a.m. — and was nervous throughout Saturday's contest. But she drew upon a favorite mantra from her teacher: "Take a deep breath and go with the flow ... do your best, and show what you know," she recited.
The state spelling bee for elementary students is April 26 in Stockton. The Scripps National Spelling Bee is May 25-30 at National Harbor, Md.

A clutter free bedroom can improve overall health
Tue, 06 Nov 2012 16:09:48 GMT —
We spend roughly one-third of our lives in the bedroom, so it's no surprise that when things aren't "healthy" there, our whole lives can be affected, but there are ways to make your bedroom a more relaxing place.
Dr. Kenneth Weizer with Portland, Oregon's Providence Integrative Medicine said we should all take a look at our bedrooms with a fresh set of eyes.
Weizer says to ask yourself, "What do you want to do there?"
"Do you want to be stressed there," he said, "or do you want it to be your sanctuary?"
Weizer said your bedroom should be treated like a sanctuary, a place where your mind and body is able to recover. All too often, it's not. General clutter, dirt and even technology can add unwanted stress in the bedroom.
"If they just take everything out of the room and make it really simple," Dr. Weizer said, "All of a sudden, they can breathe better."
Take those TVs, computers, digital alarm clocks and cell phones out of the bedroom and plug them in somewhere else. He also suggests washing your sheets and pillows at least once a week in hot water because dust mites love to call your bedroom home.
"They live on dust, which is mostly our skin that sloughs off all the time," said Dr. Weizer.
Stress in the bedroom can affect your sleep and possibly even your sex life.
"Sex is related to stress and sleep - if you don't get enough sleep, you may lose your libido and if you have too much stress, you might lose your libido."
By keeping your romance alive, Dr. Weizer said that can help you sleep and sleep reduces stress - making you much healthier in the long run. He adds, that in order to get a good night of sleep, you need to be in a very dark room.
Your body will only release melatonin when it's dark. Melatonin is essentially the hormone in your body that heals you at night and puts you in a dream state, allowing you to get a good night's rest.

how to create logo to the Allegro's control panel?pls anybody tell me.thanks a lot in advance
Hi,There was one solution to this offered to this earlier this week - ie. use dxf.I have a Skill solution that allows for drawing of scaled and rotatable logo symbols. However it requires you to input coordinate data. Ok for your own logo but time consuming if you are a service bureau doing one-off logos. Contact me off line if you want to see how this works.Cheers, Dave (email@example.com)
thank you for reply.

Liriano, Morton close to returning to Bucs' rotation
MILWAUKEE -- Jeanmar Gomez allowed two earned runs in four innings in his first start on Wednesday afternoon, which will dictate whether he gets to make another start. But the Pirates had the luxury of not sweating how Gomez responded to the opportunity -- thanks to two approaching off-days and two approaching pitchers.
Not only are left-hander Francisco Liriano (right-arm fracture) and Charlie Morton (Tommy John surgery) wrapping up Minor League rehabilitation stints -- they are already pencilled into Pirates manager Clint Hurdle's rotation.
Liriano has one rehab start remaining -- on Sunday -- and could make his Pirates debut on May 11, in New York against the Mets.
Morton is tentatively scheduled to make two more rehab starts and make his Pirates return on May 14, against the Brewers at PNC Park.
"There it is," Hurdle said. "It's laid out. The best guys are going to pitch. And we'll have some very interesting decisions to make here, sooner rather than later."
The as-yet-unknown Gomez and James McDonald are the two weak links in the current five-man rotation. Off-days on Thursday and Monday will enable the Bucs to skip a right-hander of their choosing.
"The off-days do give us a chance to maneuver pitchers around. We've got some options in front of us," Hurdle said.
The reports on Liriano continue to be excellent. His velocity (90-94 mph) and command have been sharp, and he hasn't run into any problems fielding his position or handling the bat. Statistics tend to be shrugged off in such rehab scenarios, but Liriano's two starts with Triple-A Indianapolis are noteworthy for 17 strikeouts without a walk in 11 innings.

Topic: Mother's passing
My sweet Mother passed away today at 5:00 pm. She died as she had lived...with a quiet and fierce determination....with grace and dignity....with a wit that was uncompromised by pain and suffering....and wth the utter respect of those who were blessed to be included in her passing.
Her intrahepatic cc was found on Dec 12th.....just a few days more than a month ago.....it is a shame that she did not have the opportunity to fight it further(as she surely would have) and a grace that she did not have to suffer more (as she may have)....a part of her legacy may be in the dedication that we will now have to share with others about this disease.
She was one of my greatest joys in this life...and I am joyous for her safe passage into heaven, knowing that she isi surrounded by the love of her parents and brother....and is having the 'best ever' time with Daddy.
Thank you, Mom, for it all...Rest well.

Santana working out in Florida before rehab stint
DENVER -- Assistant general manager Rob Antony said shortstop Danny Santana (left knee deep bone bruise) flew from Minneapolis to Fort Myers, Fla., where he will work out for a few days with the Twins' team in the rookie level Gulf Coast League before beginning a rehab assignment with Class A Advanced Fort Myers.
Santana last played for the Twins on June 25 and could be activated next Friday when the Twins resume play after the All-Star break.
Antony said that pitcher Ricky Nolasco (right elbow strain) went home to Florida to continue his rehab and will be back in Minnesota on Thursday, as will pitcher Mike Pelfry, who had right elbow surgery June 10 and who went home to Wichita, Kan.

SCOTUS's Warrantless Wiretapping Punt is a Win for America's Ruling Parties

(Source: Reuters)
SCOTUS, presidential nominees appear united: sometimes due process is just not convenient
In a ruling that has a deep impact on domestic surveillance in the short term, the
Supreme Court of the United States
(SCOTUS) opted
to review a controversial
U.S. federal circuit appeals court decision
which upheld legal immunity provisions for telecoms who wiretap at the behest of the federal government.
I. President, Romney Unanimous in Support for Warrantless Wiretaps
Removing immunity would essentially leave telecoms unlikely to comply with warrantless requests, as they could be penalized in court by citizen lawsuits for following warrantelss data demands. The basis of U.S. criminal law for centuries has been cornered on obtaining warrants to investigate persons of interest. But over the past several decades, both parties have increasingly argued that
due process is inconvenient
and at times a threat to national security.
The two parties worked hand in hand to grant cooperating telecoms immunity from lawsuits via
"Protect America Act"
of 2007 (
Pub.L. 110-55
Both Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney support throwing out due process (warrants) in cases where national security is viewed to be at risk -- a policy first put in place by Republican President George W. Bush (with bipartisan support from America's two ruling parties) in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
President Obama and his predecessor President Bush agree on many things, including that the federal government should be granted unregulated spying on its citizens.

Mr. Romney expressed a viewpoint narrowly in line with President Obama's plugging warrantless wiretaps in a recent interview (see below), stating, "If it means we have to go into a mosque to wiretap or a church, then that's exactly where we are gonna go, because we are going to do whatever it takes to protect the American people. And I hear from time to time people say, 'Hey, wait a sec, we have civil liberties to worry about', but don't forget... the most important civil liberty I expect from my government is my right to be kept alive."
In a statement on the SCOTUS ruling, President Obama marched in lock-step with his political rival, with his press office
Electronic surveillance for law enforcement and intelligence purposes depends in great part on the cooperation of the private companies that operate the nation's telecommunication system.
If litigation were allowed to proceed against those who allegedly assisted in such activities, the private sector might be unwilling to cooperate with lawful government requests in the future, and the possible reduction in intelligence that might result is simply unacceptable for the safety of our nation.
The SCOTUS did not explain why it made its decision to punt in this case. The only evidence that it made the decision at all is
a note in the case docket
stating the case will not be heard.
That silent nod to the prevailing sentiment on The Hill is
a win for America's two ruling parties
, who are unanimous in their belief that the right to "be kept alive" (by the government) mandates spying on citizens without due process now and then.
II. Opponents Continue to Fight on
Of course civil liberties advocacies like the
Electronic Frontier Foundation
(EFF), and a handful of politicians like
Rep. Ron Paul
(R-Texas) disagree.
He argues that the American political system has been hijacked by zealots,
, "The PATRIOT Act was written many, many years before 9/11, [the attacks simply provided] an opportunity for some people to do what they wanted to do..."
"Democracy isn't all that healthy in this country because if you're in a third party... you don't get in the debates... And if you ever come to the conclusion -- heaven forbid -- that the two parties aren't all that different, then what is left really?"
Ron Paul is one of the few politicians to support keeping due process, even in the face of the nebulous "terrorist" threat. [Image Source: NBC]
EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kurt Opsahl concurs, adding:
By passing the retroactive immunity for the telecoms' complicity in the warrantless wiretapping program, Congress abdicated its duty to the American people. It is disappointing that... [the courts] endorsed the rights of telecommunications companies over those over their customers.
But in the current political climate voices like the EFF and Rep. Paul's are mere whispers in a sea of shouts of support. Without saying a word, the punt by America's most powerful federal court in effect adds one of the loudest voices yet in support of warrantless wiretaps, although it leaves the door open for later revision, should America's political climate drastically change.

No more midget "center" ftw.
We should have signed Deron Williams.
Okay, if DJ Augustin were playing for the Lakers, Heat, Mavs, Celtics, Knicks, Nets, Clippers, Bulls, or Nuggets, he would make the skeptic's perceived Darren Collison take a **** on himself. Augustin made the LOLCATS look good last year, and now he plays for a better team, and his stock drops.
Oh, Mahinmi's effort vs. Amundson's doesn't prove to you that Mahinmi's good? Did you neither see nor hear nor read any of the reviews, highlights, or discussion of how much upside these guys have? Mahinmi has, what, 3 inches on Looooouuuuuu, but his athleticism, length, and defensive presence does nothing for you?
Hey, what has two legs, a head full of hype and helium, and costs $100k more, yet is 5 years younger than Dahntay Jones?
<<- Check the avatar.
Like Jones, Green met his NBA rebirth after a stint in the D-League. Green was a prodigy coming out of high school, but lacked intangibles to be a productive player. Jones spent the last two seasons trying to perfect that corner 3-pointer that he constantly shot, but rarely made (at least until the latter half of 2012 season). His defense is tenacious, yes; but Green's effort, talent, and ability to be a major scoring option off the bench are skills/factors that Jones lacks.
Is he young? Yes. Is he still getting accustomed to his new team, new teammates, new coaching staff, and new life? Probably. Are we only 3.658536585% through the regular season and people are jumping to conclusions? Absolutely. This is PacerNation. I'm sure there are several in tears over not having Fez this year, even though his spot was so easily taken by a combination of Pendergraph and Ben Hansbrough.
In other words,
CHILL OUT. There's plenty of time to earn your fandom back.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
Remember this my friends: sometimes the best move you make is the move you do not make.
The Bobcats never looked good last year and no one made them look good.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
The only thing I miss about last years team is their reactions on the bench. They were way more fun to watch.
I think once the team gets used to each other we will be noticeably better than last year. There is definitely more talent on this team, that's for sure. Yes, it is true that this team does not rely on one player, but not having Danny messes up the way this team works. Having Danny causes the defense to focus more on him which allows for the rest of our starters to get easier shots. Not having him messes a lot of stuff up. The second unit isn't what it should be because Vogel is forced to start Green who wasn't expecting to come in here and start. The guy came off the bench for the lowly Nets last year and is now starting on a playoff team so I think it's natural for him to be kinda nervous or thrown off. He had a solid game last night and I think it will get better as time goes on. We'll probably keep having close games until Danny gets back, but as long as we win more than we lose we should be fine. Once Danny gets back everything should fall into place and everybody will have forgotten about our early struggles. Like people have been saying... all teams struggle with significant roster changes at first. Look at the Heat when they were first assembled, look at the Lakers right now... I think we'll be ok.
An awful lot of people dismissing the idea, but DC was a starting level point guard that was better than his stats showed because of a poor offense. Now with a coach that puts guys in the best positions to succeed he looks like a stud.
We lost out because of our coaching, plain and simple. Losing DC was a huge blow.
Removed link to my website after a PM from Able.
Most of our money went to re signing George and Roy.
It's easy to "miss" our other players after 3 games, but lets see if we miss them after the AS break. I'm guessing we won't.
That isn't true. Collison was the Pacers starter for 50 plus games last year only losing his starting PG spot due to an injury. The Pacers had a good record with DC a starter. Is DC not starting in Dallas now? Not to mention Augustin was a starter on the Bobcats last year and under Brown at times with Felton there.
Your comment about journeyman being replaced by journeyman is misleading, b/c the quality of the journeyman the Pacers got, Green and Mahinmi, are better than the journeyman, Lou and Dahntay, the Pacers lost.
W/o a doubt the Pacers upgraded their bench with Green, Augustin, and Mahinmi. Unfortunately, the Pacers gave 4 year guaranteed contracts to Green and Mahinmi. IMO, that wasn't a smart move. The last 2 years of the contract should have been Team Options just in case they player didn't work out.
By the way do I think this bench can help the Pacers beat Miami,Boston,etc? No way.
It's easy to overrate players after watching them in preseason.
I'm also going for what they have done in their careers is not like they are some rookies or anything like that, I'm going off Ian's bench play in Dallas. Green's 31 good games in five years and Augustin starting with the Bobcats.

Yeah, I hate how everyone hypes Boston up. They haven't proven anything. I feel like everybody bases their opinions off of Boston on their history, but we gotta look at the present and right now we're 2-1, they're 1-2.
Last edited by PGisthefuture; 11-04-2012 at 04:58 PM.
They replaced a former 6th man of the year in Barbosa, a guy that was considered one of the best defenders in the NBA in DJ, one of the best backup point guards in the league in DC and a pretty decent and cheap PF/C in Lou, in reality that group was not as bad as many believe and yes they sucked against Lebron and Dwade, let me know what bench doesn't.
god damnit we are 3 games into the season. settle down. between this and the "is this team overrated thread", i actually can't believe the complaining. ITS BEEN THREE GAMES.

Kidney Diseases
Reasons for high protien and large amounts...
My husband is a 29 year old long time smoker. He has driven a truck for many years now and 2 yrs back went in for his physical. The doctor reported to him that he had high amounts of protein and blood in his urine and that he needed to come back (which he never did). Well he went in about 3 weeks ago to update his physical card and the doctor again told him that he had the protein and blood in his urine and that he would like him to come back (this time I made him go back), so he went back yesterday and they tested again and it`s all still there. His glucose levels look good and so does everything else. The doctor told him this can be a sign of bladder cancer in older men who smoke and my husband said "uh I smoke" so now the doc is sending him to a urology clinic. Everything I look up says that it could be kidney disease. I guess we are just wanting to know what it could possibly be so that when he goes in we can be prepared for the best & worst case scenarios. Here is exactly how is report for urine tests was recorded:
Test Name Result Urine color Straw other urine app Clear urine glucose Neg glucose urine bilirubin Neg bilirubin urine ketones Neg ketones mg urine sp.gravity 1.030 SG other urine blood Large blood other urine pH 5.5 other urine protein 300mg/dl protein urine uribilinogen 0.2mg/dl urine nitrate nitrate neg other urine leukocytes neg leukocytes urine epithelial cel other urine wbc other urine rbc other urine bacteria other urine yeast other urine trich other
**Also my husband so no pain or burning during urination, no noticed side or abdomenal type pain, he urinates frequently, and when he has to go he has to go!!! so as far as he knows no symptoms for a UTI or bladder infection.
Your husband's symptoms and lab results definitely suggest that he has something wrong with his kidney, not his bladder. When you say, "His glucose levels look good and so does everything else," I'm wondering if you are referring to blood tests. If he has not had blood tests to check his level of kidney function, those should be done right away, in order to see whether his kidneys are getting rid of waste products normally. This is a very good way to determine his level of kidney function.
At this point it sounds like he should also see a nephrologist (medical kidney doctor), who will do a thorough history, physical exam, order a number of blood and urine tests, and obtain a kidney imaging study such as an ultrasound. After those results are back, he may need a kidney biopsy to make the actual diagnosis and to determine what treatment might be needed.
See the article below, "Kidney Tests," for more details on the type of tests that are done to detect kidney disease.
Also, be aware that people who have kidney disease often have the symptom of frequent urination, even if they do not have an infection.

Jimenez reports to camp following visa issue
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Infielder Luis Jimenez, who was delayed in the Dominican Republic because of a visa issue, reported to camp on Saturday and is ready to compete for a job.
Jimenez, 26, played in 34 games for the Angels in 2013. He didn't play winter ball because of a right shoulder injury he sustained last September.
"We want to make sure his shoulder is locked in. He feels really good right now," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We want to get him acclimated to third base, but he's going to have to play first and we'll also look at him in the middle infield to see if his versatility is something that can work in his favor."

Meeting very low engine emission standards while maintaining or improving engine performance and fuel efficiency is a significant challenge for the diesel industry. One of the technologies deployed to help meet this challenge is a technology called Selective Catalytic Reduction, or SCR.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an advanced active emissions control technology system that injects a liquid-reductant agent through a special catalyst into the exhaust stream of a diesel engine. The reductant source is usually automotive-grade urea, otherwise known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). The DEF sets off a chemical reaction that converts nitrogen oxides into nitrogen, water and tiny amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), natural components of the air we breathe, which is then expelled through the vehicle tailpipe.
SCR technology is designed to permit nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction reactions to take place in an oxidizing atmosphere. It is called "selective" because it reduces levels of NOx using ammonia as a reductant within a catalyst system. The chemical reaction is known as "reduction" where the DEF is the reducing agent that reacts with NOx to convert the pollutants into nitrogen, water and tiny amounts of CO2. The DEF can be rapidly broken down to produce the oxidizing ammonia in the exhaust stream. SCR technology alone can achieve NOx reductions up to 90 percent.
Why is SCR important?
SCR technology is one of the most cost-effective and fuel-efficient technologies available to help reduce diesel engine emissions. SCR can reduce NOx emissions up to 90 percent while simultaneously reducing HC and CO emissions by 50-90 percent, and PM emissions by 30-50 percent. SCR systems can also be combined with a diesel particulate filter to achieve even greater emission reductions for PM. In the commercial trucking industry, some SCR-equipped truck operators are reporting fuel economy gains of 3-5 percent.
Where is SCR used?
SCR has been used for decades to reduce stationary source emissions. In addition, marine vessels worldwide have been equipped with SCR technology, including cargo vessels, ferries and tugboats. With its superior return in both economic and environmental benefits, SCR is also being recognized as the emissions control technology particularly helpful in meeting the US EPA 2010 diesel engine emission standards.
What are the special considerations of using SCR?
One unique aspect of a vehicle or machine with an SCR system is the need for replenishing Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) on a periodic basis. DEF is carried in an onboard tank which must be periodically replenished by the operator based on vehicle operation. For light-duty vehicles, DEF refill intervals typically occur around the time of a recommended oil change, while DEF replenishment for heavy-duty vehicles and off-road machines and equipment will vary depending on the operating conditions, hours used, miles traveled, load factors and other considerations.
DEF is an integral part of the emissions control system and must be present in the tank at all times to assure continued operation of the vehicle or equipment. Low DEF supply triggers a series of escalating visual and audible indicators to the driver or operator. Once the tank reaches a certain level near empty, the starting system may be locked out the next time the vehicle is used, preventing the vehicle from being started without adequate DEF. A nationwide DEF distribution infrastructure has rapidly expanded to meet the needs of a growing SCR technology marketplace.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a non-toxic fluid composed of purified water and automotive grade aqueous urea. DEF is available with a variety of storage and dispensing methods. Storage options consist of various size containers such as bulk, totes and bottles or jugs. The American Petroleum Institute rigorously tests DEF to ensure that it meets industry-wide quality standards.

We fool ourselves with the thought of how easy a project is going to be. If we didn't, most cars wouldn't get built. Bo and Robbin Lumpkin of Mobile, Alabama, were already racing a '78 Camaro when they came across this '68 Nova that had been started by another racer and was at the RCE Racing shop in their hometown. It was rust free, the sheet metal had been prepped, it had a cage and rear end installed, how tough could it be? Sound familiar to any readers? Two and a half years later, Bo and friends Laverne Ferrouillat and Johnny Wilkins finished the car. That was, doing it an hour here, an hour there, with generous quantities of encouragement from Bo's very understanding wife.
The hardest part was not racing while they were building this car. When the Lumpkin's finally made it back to the track with their Nova they expected to spend considerable time "dialing-it-in" as would be expected with a new car. By their sixth outing, though, they brought home First Place. The car is consistent and regularly turns eighth-mile times around 6.10 at 111 mph. All of you Chevy fans with projects gathering dust in the shop take heart from what Bo did and get back to work; it can be done.

Bernanke defended current and past Fed actions, most especially the decision to keep interest rates low and money supply high while unemployment rates and a general economic slowdown threatened. He also defended some new policy innovations (QE3 and Operation Twist). The details are too long for this column, but suffice it to say, he reiterated that monetary policy was not a panacea for our economic woes. He singled out our unsustainable public debt, a poor tax code and educational issues as areas for which more long-term focus was needed. These items should not be news to readers of this column, and it is refreshing to hear them repeated.
Interestingly, Bernanke was asked whether or not his well-known fondness for baseball held lessons for economic policy. He pointed to the long-term focus of the Washington Nats as an example of a successful strategy. Good stuff.
The real reason for his visit (as if one really needs an excuse to visit Indiana in early autumn) was to better explain the role our central bank plays in our economy. This should hardly be needed, but there is more than a fair bit of mindless antipathy towards the Federal Reserve in this election season. On the left we hear that the Fed is a servant to moneyed interests and must be ended. On the right we hear that the Fed should be closed in favor of the gold standard. Both positions have a long way to go before they could be labeled as naive.
The Federal Reserve system, like the Congress that sets its mandates and the electorate itself, is imperfect. There is much to criticize in the Fed's actions, but, when laid against Congress or the Illinois legislature, the Fed look like a saint. To abolish it requires a belief that its replacement would be an angel. In abolishing the Fed, we leave the potent tools of monetary policy to the president – there is no other option. Either the president controls monetary policy directly, or he controls the gold standard indirectly.
While one might wish to give a president monetary policy tools, it is useful to remember this would place more power in the U.S. presidency than any since Lincoln. To suppose that we could craft a gold standard that would be immune from manipulation is again folly. We live in a world where human beings, not angels, make decisions about fiscal and monetary policy. It is best to stick with the least imperfect of human institutions.

Idaho man pleads guilty to shooting at helicopter
LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) A northern Idaho man has pleaded guilty to shooting at a helicopter in October 2010, at one point telling authorities he was upset because the chopper was flying over an area where he was hunting.
The Lewiston Tribune reports that 58-year-old John E. Ross of Fernwood pleaded guilty Monday in Shoshone County District Court to felony interfering with or destruction of an aircraft.
Prosecutors allege Ross fired at least four shots at a helicopter that was monitoring controlled burn work on Potlatch Corp. land near Clarkia. Two shots hit the helicopter, including one that damaged housing for part of the helicopter's steering mechanism. The pilot was able to land the helicopter safely.
Court records say Ross also told authorities that he probably shot at the helicopter, but couldn't remember.
