This is delicious! We warmed it in the microwave for a little bit, and, oh my gosh, it was so wonderful. The only problem is we eat it too fast, and want more!

Why the Obama administration vetoed the ITC's ban on 5 Apple products
When it comes to United States politics – especially in this day and age – it is unfortunately rare that the two major parties will cooperate with each other. However, in a way that occurred, indirectly, with the vetoing of the Apple import ban that was vetoed by the Obama administration over the weekend. The administration agreed with the dissenting opinion of one ITC commissioner – an appointee by former President George W. Bush – who didn't think it was right for the Apple products to be banned. This dissenting opinion outlined how Samsung was practicing FRAND-abuse, and helped force the veto of the import ban that would have gone in to effect this month.
The dissenting opinion was written by ITC Commissioner Dean Pickert, and points out how the ITC simply should have never even imposed the ban on the Apple products because Samsung was basically abusing the system. Samsung offered Apple a deal to license Samsung's standard essential patents, but required that Apple in return license non-essential patents to Samsung, and this is when the idea of a ban should have been thrown out the window. Here is that bit in better words via Fortune:
Reading between the lines, it sounds like Samsung had refused to license its standard-essential patents (SEPs) unless Apple offered its non-essential iPhone patents — the company's crown jewels — in return.
That just doesn't make any sense on the ITC's part. This ban should have never been issued, simple as that. I like the way Rene Ritchie of iMore put it:
Once again, that's like being the guy who runs the public pool in town refusing to let one family swim there unless he gets to come to their private house and skinny dip in their hot tub.
Thankfully, the ITC commissioner and Obama administration saw this and decided to veto the ban on Apple products. The entire dissenting opinion was published on FOSS Patents, if you are interesting in reading it. It is a long read, but worth it if you have the time.
What do you think? Glad to see the ban vetoed? Wondering how it was even issued in the first place? Let us know in the comments, or tweet me @TiP_Kyle.

Well, try running a syscheck with DOP-Mii. Post the results here.
Long story short I modded my Wii a couple months ago and was playing burned games and everything on it no problem. My dad messed with it for a while and I'm not sure what he did but both burned and retail discs are no longer being read by the normal disc loader channel or Neogamma (gives DVD Read Error 1048).
As I said before I played burned games and such before without any problems and my dad tried to mess with the mods on his own and I'm basically wondering if there is a way to find out what exactly he did to it and what my options are for being able to play my games.
I'm a pretty technically savvy person but Wii mods are still pretty foreign to me so any help would be awesome.
Well, try running a syscheck with DOP-Mii. Post the results here.
Awesome sig picture does not work
Brick Prevention- Things you should never do | Ignoring advice and bricking | Be a jedi, donate
Guide: Softmod ANY wii | How to post a system check | Loading and Playing Wii Backup Games from USB HDD (softmod only)
System Menu X (IOS150, E) | HBC 1.08 (IOS58) | bootmii/boot2v4 | priiloader 0.7 | cIOSX rev21d2x_v6 (main base IOS 57) | cIOS 223 (IOS 37 + 38 merged) | USB Loader GX 2.2
Here's my log, if you need anything else let me know.
4.2 Right? Your IOS36 Should be Trucha Patched. ( for 4.2 do step 3 of Shadow Sonic 2's Softmod Tutortial).
I'm guessing you don't have Priiloader installed because your IOS70 isn't patched. Look on the site for a Guide on Priiloader, making sure to install the IOS70 patched FIRST. (This is included in the guide)
Also you can update your 249 rev 14 to rev 17 if you want. Run the cIOS38 Rev17 Installer and it will overwrite your 14 install.
Damn I suck!!!!
Alright, so I've tried everyting suggested and Neogamma is no longer giving me "DVD Read Error 1048", but it is now giving me "DVD Err(1252), Disc ID" for both retail and burned games, and retail games still aren't loading from the default disc loader. I've uploaded a newer DOP-Mii log, not sure if it'll be any help but just trying to cover all the bases.
Again the advice provided is much appreciated, I havn't had any errors with installing anything so I'm guessing it's an issue with the drive iself, if anyone has any suggestions before I pull it apart to clean it let me know, thanks!
EDIT: Oh, and yes I am on 4.2

Everything shows in your syscheck so that went fine. To be honest I don't know what it could be...hopefully someone else will have a possible solution for you.
I looked around for info on that second error but couldn't really find anything. Can you ask your dad what he did?
Damn I suck!!!!
It's been a couple months and he doesn't remember, but I just got off the phone with Nintendo and they're letting me repair the console under warranty since the serial number was never registered...not exactly the way I'd like to go with it but it's better than nothing I guess, now it's just time to virginize it and everything and send it in.
Again I appreciate the help, but I guess this thread can be closed now.

Area high school roundup: Panther girls top Laporte for first win of season
The Cass Lake-Bena girls basketball team began the winter with seven losses but last Tuesday at Laporte the Panthers finally notched their first victory as they toppled Laporte 65-36.
Joy Smith scored 16 for CL-B while Jordan Jackson and Autumn Brunelle each contributed 14.
Jackson also dished seven assists while Brunelle had 14 rebounds and Smith 13.
Last Thursday at Clearbrook-Gonvick the Panthers dropped an 80-55 decision, Smith had 11 points and Jackson 10 points and 10 rebounds. Brunelle added 15 boards. Brooke Wraa had 24 points for the Bears and Whitney Rogstad contributed 13.
Friday at Kelliher-Northome Cass Lake-Bena lost 63-57. Brunelle had 15 points and 16 rebounds while Jackson scored 13 points, Smith 12 and Mariah O'Brien 10. Smith also nabbed 19 rebounds.
The win was Kelliher-Northome's second in its last three games. The Mustangs downed Hill City 53-51 during the holiday break but lost 58-39 to Walker-Hackensack-Akeley last Tuesday.
In the victory over Hill City Katey Lutz had 15 points, 14 rebounds and four steals. Cathy Frenzel added 10 points, 10 rebounds, seven steals and five assists while Tonya Weidenborner had six points and five boards.
Brittney Heck reached double figures with 12 points. She also nailed the game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer.
In the loss to WHA the defense held the Wolves, who average more than 70 points per game, to only 58. When the teams met in early December WHA coasted to a 71-26 win.
"It was a much better showing than the first time these two teams faced off," said K-N coach Justin Lundin. "I am proud of the team's efforts. They knew it wasn't going to be an easy night but they still went out and gave the Wolves a challenge."
Heck had 10 points and Lutz scored nine. Weidenborner and Danielle Nistler each dished four assists.
This week began with Monday's game at Bigfork and Thursday the Mustangs will host Clearbrook-Gonvick. Friday sees K-N entertaining Laporte and 1 p.m. Saturday it will play Red Lake County Central at Bemidji State.
Blackduck went 0-2 last week, losing 77-53 to Clearbrook-Gonvick and 66-27 to Pine River. Millie Exner had 21 points in the loss to C-G while Jamie Magoon scored 14 and Tatum Mistic 10.
Wraa had 27 points for the Bears and Rogstad 26.
Red Lake found the winning column last week as the Warriors downed Fond Du Lac 65-31. Taylor Dickinson scored 15 points, Tatiana McLean and Serena Graves 12 and Mary Cobenais nine.
Bagley split a pair of games, losing 74-44 at Thief River Falls but nipping Fosston 50-42. The Flyers are at Climax-Fisher today, host Win-E-Mac Thursday and visit Clearbrook-Gonvick Friday.
In last week's girls 8A East ratings Fosston was leading and Red Lake County Central was ranked second. Win-E-Mac was ranked third and was followed by Blackduck, Kelliher-Northome, Clearbrook-Gonvick, Mahnomen, Lake of the Woods, Bug O Nay Ge Shig, Cass Lake-Bena and Laporte.
Cass Lake-Bena successfully opened 2011 as the Panthers tipped Kelliher-Northome 78-66 last Tuesday.
Caleb Fisher scored 25 points and grabbed eight caroms. Jake Ellis had 15 points and 25 rebounds and earned a double-double for the sixth consecutive game.
Dakotah Brunelle contributed 11 points and nine boards while Chad Winner had 10 points and 10 assists.
CL-B (7-3) is at Pine River today and hosts Red Lake Friday.
Bagley remains the hottest boys basketball team in the area as the Flyers enter tonight's game at Climax-Fisher with a 7-1 record. Last week Bagley collected three victories, swamping Park Rapids 91-57, trimming Fosston 59-50 and blitzing Thief River Falls 78-64.
Tyler George scored 18 points in the win over Fosston and Lorenzo Pemberton added 10.
Kelliher-Northome split two games last week, losing to Cass Lake-Bena but belting Walker-Hackensack-Akeley 74-29.
Jacob Gunderson scored 17 points in the victory over WHA while Gregory Davidson tallied 14 and Keith Shaugnessy 10.
K-N (4-4) visits Roseau tonight and heads to East Grand Forks Friday.
Blackduck will take a 5-4 record to Deer River tonight. The Drakes also will be at WHA Friday.
Last week Blackduck went 2-0, stopping Red Lake 87-73 and defeating Pine River 63-59.
Red Lake also lost 68-35 to Warren-Alavarado-Oslo Friday.
In the 8A East rankings, Cass Lake-Bena was listed second, trailing only Fosston. K-N enters this week ranked fourth while Clearbrook-Gonvick is fifth and Blackduck seventh.
The Bagley-Fosston hockey team snapped a nine-game winless string Saturday when it posted a 5-3 victory at Ely.
The Flyers are 2-10-1 and both of the wins have come at Ely's expense.
Also last week B-F lost at Park Rapids 8-2. Flyer goalie Ken Davis sustained a concussion in the game and is expected to be out of action for about two weeks.
Cole Young scored two goals against Ely while Aaron Leintz, Cole Gubrud and Brenton Bergh also lit the lamp.
Gubrud had three assists and Bergh two. Also drawing assists were Tal Iverson, Young, Brady Anderson and Chad Hoeft.
Andrew Gebhardt made his first start in goal and the eighth-grader played well.
The win, however, was offset by the loss of Hoeft who was taken by ambulance to the hospital. X-rays revealed three broken vertebrae in his neck but there was no sign of paralysis.
Hoeft was expected to be released from the hospital on Monday and will wear a neck brace.
The Flyers visit Lake of the Woods today and entertain Silver Bay Saturday.
The Bagley-Fosston wrestlers lost to Deer River 45-36 last Tuesday but did very well at Saturday's Pine to Prairie meet hosted by Fertile-Beltrami, finishing second in the seven-team field with 199 points.
Moorhead won with 209 and United Clay-Becker was a distant third with 160.
Trailing the leaders were Fertile-Beltrami with 145.5, Clearbrook-Gonvick/RLCC with 76, West Marshall with 64.5 and East Grand Forks with 45.
The BCLBI Bears also found success last week as they defeated Clearbrook-Gonvick/RLCC 66-19. The Bears (1-5) host a triangular today in Blackduck and will be in Bemidji Saturday for the Rick Lee Invitational.

Build Fedora Server
I messed up the first installation of Fedora on my server. My setup is as follows:
Fedora and Gnome - NFS system
No dual boot (Windows or anything)
Fedora ISO DVD downloaded
No kickstart or other tools
A very simple environment basically
I would like just the bulletized steps on how to set this up, from the time I insert the disk and have it boot up (configged already to boot from it). I know how to wipe it clean at intall time.
One of my questions is the / under the 'mounted on'. Is that the root directory? And, is /boot the actual boot directory? I'm just having a hard time uderstanding that.
As I said, I just want a quick itemized list, step 1, step 2, etc, from partitioning, creating file system, mounting, etc.. in the right order.
I have looked everywhere for the concise steps and just can't find them.
If any one has some good links about this, I'd also like to check them out.
Thanks greatly for any help.
I would advise CentOS over Fedora for a Server as Fedora is really a desktop OS and is open to many changes and updates without that much care for security in place, CentOS is meant for a longer shelf-life and is very similar to fedora.
/ would be the root of the filing system. If there are no seperated partitions for other things then it will all come under /
/boot would be the boot partition and where /boot would appear.
Commonly /var and /usr are split off from / but if you don't know what you are doing yet it might be best to simplify your entire installation to just / and swap. Swap should generally be between 1.5 and 3 times the size of the physical RAM on the system.
Thanks for the information. We use Redhat in my company but for my learning I have a laptop I am using that I can break/repair, learn on. I am being moved into a Linux SA position, due to long story, and am still a novice. I for now am going to stay on Fedora and then switch to Redhat. No security needed (for the most part), because this is strictly home use. I won't be using it long. Given all that, are you or someone else able to give the other information I'm looking for?
Thanks much...
Well the full fedora installation guide can be found at: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/instal...12/en-US/html/
However it's a very very hefty document. I presume a guide can be found on google, I am not too familiar with Fedora myself however most of it should be straight forward, if you use recommended partitioning you should be fine on that side, the only other thing is package selection, I would advise ensuring you have either KDE or Gnome and not customizing too much else you might not install the one package that is really needed on just about all installations called base.
If you are looking to dual boot fedora and windows that might take a bit more work, and you would have to ensure your partitioning options aren't effecting the windows partition.
Excellent site! Just what I've been looking for. Thanks so very much.. :cool:

text: Sharks' new Bryce is right Fri 12 Jul, 2013, 6:00am Ben Blaschke, NRL.com Tweet Email Print Bryce Gibbs is feeling fitter than ever after shedding a kilo during his recovery from an Achilles injury suffered in February. Credit: NRL Photos Copyright: NRL Photos If there is one thing that Bryce Gibbs has discovered from his lengthy stint on the sidelines this year, it's not to take anything for granted.The Cronulla prop was anticipating a big year in 2013. Buoyed by the arrival of former Wests Tigers teammates Chris Heighington and Beau Ryan and the prospect of challenging for a top-four berth, he set himself the goal of playing every game this season – a feat he has never achieved in the 11 years since he made his NRL debut.But that dream didn't last long. In February, Gibbs somehow managed to put his foot through his bedroom window with the deep cut he suffered as a result nicking his Achilles' tendon and ruling him out for the first half of the year."It was frustrating because it wasn't even a football injury," Gibbs told NRL.com this week, having finally returned to first grade in last week's 36-22 win over his former club. "I didn't do it at training or anything; I put it through my bedroom window at home. That was annoying because I wanted to play every game this year. I've never missed so many games in one year. I usually play 19 or 20 games a year."And obviously I was excited to have [Heighington and Ryan] coming across this year too. I was looking forward to playing with them. We had a good off-season and to do that... it was pretty hard watching them. When you're winning it's hard to watch, when you're losing it's even harder."But the funny thing about it is that I'm actually enjoying training at the moment. I know it sounds weird but I never used to enjoy it, and now I do. I love running. I don't take it for granted anymore."As it was, Gibbs showed that he still has plenty to offer with a standout performance against the Tigers in which he ran for 130 metres – a stat bettered only by Andrew Fifita's 170.But with Fifita, Luke Lewis and captain Paul Gallen all due back from State of Origin duty next week, the 28-year-old knows the battle will be on to hold down his spot in a strong Cronulla forward pack."We've got a good squad of 26 or 27 players and all of the guys that are getting their chance this week (against the Broncos) are good players," he said. "Mark Taufua definitely deserves his chance and we've got guys like Sam Tagataese and Ben Ross who are all first-graders."For me, it's just about getting minutes under my belt. I've only been running for about two months now so I need to get my body in condition for playing again. I couldn't do any running for a long time and the best way to get yourself ready to play football is to run. I've been trying to do as much of that as I can."I'm actually a kilo lighter than last year. I'm 109 kilos this year and it's a bit easier to run actually, being lighter."It was good to get that first game under my belt last week so hopefully now I can keep getting into condition and keep my spot in the side."One way to make coach Shane Flanagan take notice – if he didn't last week – would be a repeat performance against a Broncos side desperate for victory but also having to do so without a number of Origin stars.The last time Brisbane ran out with a depleted side they were belted 56-18 by the Warriors but Gibbs said he was expecting a much better showing from them this time around."We spoke about that during our team meeting," Gibbs said. "They're not really the baby Broncos anymore. I think they've got four or five players that have played State of Origin. Obviously they haven't been playing that well lately but it's only a matter of time before a side like that gets their act together."They've still got their halves there... and Josh McGuire was one of the standout front-rowers last year. I think they've still got a good team this week and we need to be aware of that."

text: The US was down 2-3 at the 78 minutes mark, and it looks like the underdog Canada is going to win. However, Canadian goalie(McLeod) was penalized for breaking the rule by holding on to the ball too long. The call was a "delay of game" that the US was rewarded with an indirect free kick. Rapinoe took the kick and one of the Canadian player was called for "hand" which results in a free kick. Wambach converted to tie the score at 3-3, and force the game into 2 overtime. The US managed to score the winning goal when it was only 30 seconds left to play in the 2nd period. Canada's loss to the US can only guarantee them for the Bronze medal while the US will play for the Gold.

Gallery Losses Continue4 Jan, 2008 By: Erik Gruenwedel
Bankruptcy protection apparently can't shield Movie Gallery Inc. from market reality as it posted a loss of $80.7 million for the period Oct. 16 (when it filed Chapter 11) to Dec. 2, 2007.
The Dothan, Ala.-based No. 2 DVD rental service, whose stock has been de-listed from NASDAQ, said its Hollywood Video stores lost $53.5 million compared to Gallery locations, which lost $27.2 million, according to a regulatory filing.
Gallery posted revenue of more than $295 million for the period, which included $207.5 million from Hollywood stores and nearly $88 million from Gallery.
Indeed, Gallery, which last month said it plans to exit from bankruptcy as early as the second quarter with a new fiscal plan, posted net income from Nov. 4 to Dec. 2 of more than $36 million.
In addition, Gallery paid $2.2 million in fees to several companies, including New York-based turnaround specialist Alvarez & Marsal.
Finally, Mark Loyd, EVP and chief marketing officer, Todd Page, EVP, secretary and general counsel, and board members John Jump and James Lockwood, sold a combined 100,000 shares of common stock for $1,000, or a penny per share.

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Prior to Tuesday's Spring Training game, the St. Louis Cardinals placed third baseman David Freese (lower back strain) on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain.
Infielder Ryan Jackson has been recalled from the AAA Memphis roster.
Freese had appeared in 12 spring games, batting .267 with 2 home runs and 5 RBI. According to a release by the team, Jackson was optioned off the Major League roster on March 17. He had appeared in 17 Grapefruit League games prior to that move. Freeman made two spring appearances, the most recent on Sunday, March 24.


text:
I want to be more original than this, but really, it's just so easy to work in this format. So for one day, forgive me my lapse into cliché as I present the winners and losers at the trade deadline.
Atlanta Braves: It wasn't all that close. The Braves replaced a group of first basemen with a sub-600 OPS with Mark Teixeira and his .310/.390/.520 bat. Teixeira also represents a big defensive upgrade. The combination is worth two to three wins over the course of the rest of the season, and it's a near certainty that the gap between in and out of the postseason will be less than that. The Braves did pay a steep price-five players, including three top prospects-but they now have a fantastic offense that may be the best in the league.
The bullpen upgrades won't hurt, either. Guys like Peter Moylan and Oscar Villareal have been effective for the Braves, bridging the gap from a rotation that doesn't work deep to a good back end. However, those pitchers have been worked hard. Adding Octavio Dotel, Ron Mahay, and Royce Ring-the latter the Braves' third attempt to replace Mike Gonzalez-will bolster the pen and give Bobby Cox the depth to survive those stretches where he needs his relievers to get 10 or 11 outs on back-to-back nights.
The Braves may not catch the Mets, but the moves they made over the past few days make them a favorite to hold off the Brewers (yes, the Brewers), Diamondbacks, and Dodgers (yes, the Dodgers) for the NL wild card slot.
Boston Red Sox: The Red Sox made just one move of note, but it was a doozy, adding Eric Gagne for three players they won't ever miss in Kason Gabbard, David Murphy and Elgin Beltre. Gagne joins Jonathan Papelbon and Hideki Okajima to form a late-inning trio that challenges the Angels' corps as the best in the game. The Red Sox are going to be extremely difficult to beat late in games, and with the expanded playoff calendar, they will be able to ride those three arms even harder in the postseason. The Gagne trade was the best one any contender made at the deadline.
Texas Rangers: Jon Daniels had to get maximum value for Teixeira, and he had to get something for Eric Gagne. He did both, adding eight players to the Rangers' system and shaving millions from the payroll. The price he extracted for Gagne was a bit lighter than was expected-none of the three players are top prospects-but better this package than having Gagne on the roster this morning. Add in Max Ramirez for two months of Kenny Lofton, and Daniels did a good job of turning lemons into lemonade.
San Diego Padres: Their presence here is a combination of what they actually did the last few days-mostly adding bench strength and stealing Morgan Ensberg-along with the inactivity of their main competition and some extra credit for moves that happened earlier in the month. Trevor Hoffman is more than welcome to his opinion, but Kevin Towers has made the Padres' incrementally better with each transaction, and he hasn't given up anything of value in doing so. That's some terrific GM work, and deserves to be noted, even if not a single move was worthy of 36-point type. The gap between the Padres and the rest of the NL West has grown.
Cleveland Indians: Adding Lofton gives them the #2 hitter they'd been lacking and created as Lofton/Jason Michaels platoon in left field that should be very, very productive. Even better for the Tribe is that the Tigers failed to address their bullpen woes, missing out on the power arms of Gagne and Dotel, and failing to add even a second-tier guy. With each passing day, the Tigers' inability to hold leads late in games looms as the deciding factor in the AL Central and AL wild-card races.
Pittsburgh Pirates: "Huh?" That was the unanimous reaction to the news that the Pirates had traded for Matt Morris and all $13.5 million remaining on his contract. The Pirates, who have penny-pinched their way into lousy draft picks the last two years, have committed eight figures to a pitcher who, removed from a good defense in St. Louis and a big ballyard in San Francisco, is likely to be revealed, and quickly, as a 5.00 ERA guy. There is no sensible rationale for this trade, and any explanation of it should be met with hoots of derision. The Pirates spent $13.5 million on a slight upgrade to their #5 starter slot, a move that should take them from 65 wins to, maybe, 66.
By the way, Matt Morris thinks he's moving to a team with a better defense. Setting aside the stats for a moment-the Giants have a top-ten DER, the Pirates are in the bottom five-has he watched the Pirates at all this year? Their outfield defense is atrocious. Morris is going to give up 30 doubles between now and the end of the season. Exhibit #14,762 in the case that baseball players are lousy baseball analysts.
New York Yankees: They made a good trade in swapping Scott Proctor and the scotch tape holding his arm together for Wilson Betemit. Less impressive is the notion that Betemit will be part of the first base mix, rather than replacing Miguel Cairo as the fifth infielder. Still, dealing the #3 right-handed reliever for a good player is a fine trade.
The deal not made kills them, though. Given the price the Red Sox paid for Eric Gagne, it seems clear that the Yankees could have had the Rangers' reliever. I completely agree with Brian Cashman's two-year approach of building the farm system with an eye towards having a homegrown core in 2008 and beyond. However, the Yankees are incredibly deep, and the team's second tier of prospects-Ian Kennedy (yes, I think he's second tier), Alan Horne, et al-should have been used to pick up Gagne. The marginal benefit of Gagne in this bullpen would have been significant, and it's worth mentioning that the 2008 Yankees may be much worse given the aging of the untradable players and the possible losses of the team's superstar and MVP-candidate catcher. That Gagne ended up in Boston just makes it that much worse.
Washington Nationals: For the second year in a row, Jim Bowden held on to his veterans at the trade deadline. For the second year in a row, doing so was a mistake. The Nationals aren't good, and they're not going to be good in 2008, or 2009, or maybe even 2010. It's time to accept that and commit to a complete rebuilding process, one that entails importing as much talent as possible into the minor-league system and targeting '10 as a successful season.
That's a hard message to send heading into a new ballpark. However, not executing a rebuilding plan and meandering along with a 74-win upside is a path to Piratesville, where even a great place to watch a game is 2/3 empty every night because who wants to watch bad baseball for premium prices? Then you end up trading for Barry Zito in 2011 because he's a veteran guy with mound presence, and you want to show the fans-all 3,000 of them-that you're serious. This time.
Milwaukee Brewers: They don't have three decent prospects, and they don't have a good bullpen, and they have OBP issues. They do have Scott Linebrink, however, so that's…no, that doesn't mean much at all. The comeback win against the Mets last night just staves off the inevitable. They needed to add a reliever or two and they didn't, and the lack of bullpen help is probably going to be the difference for them.
With that said, I think the 2008 Brewers will be the best team in the NL, maybe the best in baseball. If not making a bad trade-OK, a second bad trade-protects that, it's not such a bad thing. Now, if they can just get the Pirates to bite on Jeff Suppan…
Field: Lots of candidates for this last slot. The Tigers didn't add any relief help, but they also didn't add Jack Wilson, so that's something. The Dodgers gave away Betemit for a middle reliever who isn't an impact guy and who has been worked to death for a year and a half. The Reds didn't make any trades, despite being lousy with players who are never going to contribute to a good Reds team. The Angels didn't do anything, which isn't a surprise, but they could have used a bat. The Twins' Terry Ryan annoyed his players, and frankly, splitting the baby by trading Castillo for nothing and then not following up by making other deals was silly.
The trade deadline exposed the current crop of GMs as, by and large, unwilling to assume any risk. Like field managers, who have reduced the running of baseball games to a set of stringent rules that don't really optimize the chance of success, GMs have become so fearful of making a bad deal that they won't give themselves a chance to make a good one. There are individual exceptions, but for the most part, what you saw at the trade deadline was the industry at work: no one wants to roll the dice.

Pay attention to small details to catch bigger fish
Anglers, whether they're fishing through the ice or in open water, are always looking for a new trick that will help them catch more fish. They're looking for that magic bait, or bait color, or method of retrieving, or whatever that will help them get more fish to bite. The fact is, there is no one bait or technique that will always get the fish to cooperate. The most successful anglers pay attention to the small things to catch more fish. Following are some small things you should consider when you're ice-fishing.
Ice-anglers have sonar at their disposal, and sonar can provide a fantastic idea as to what the fish want. When you're ice-fishing, you're sitting directly over the fish. By watching your sonar unit, you can see your lure, and you can see when a fish is looking at the lure. You can see how the fish approaches the lure. Those are keys to what the fish want.
Let's say you're watching your lure as it falls toward the bottom. As it approaches the bottom, a fish rises toward your lure. When you see that happening, stop the lure. Let the fish come up to it. Much of the time, if the fish is rising to the lure, it will eat it. If we can get the fish to eat the bait up off the bottom, that's a good thing. It generally means the fish are aggressive. Also, by getting it to take the bait up high, the fish on the bottom aren't disturbed. You can ice the fish that bit and get your bait back down to fish that aren't spooked.
But let's say that the fish didn't eat. He met the bait on the way down, but when he got closer, he stopped short of eating. You can see the fish on the sonar looking at the bait. Eventually he might eat, but he might also just swim off. If he swims off, that means you need to do something differently, especially if this happens several times.
There are a number of things to do if you get lookers. Try a different color, or go smaller or bigger.
Also, try altering the way you move the bait. Often, when the fish are just looking, a quivering action might convince them to eat. I've rarely seen where an aggressive action on the bait will do the trick for finicky fish, but you never know. If quivering doesn't work, give the bait a couple sharp jerks.
Consider line visibility. When fish are finicky, line that's hard to see is best, and Trilene Fluorocarbon is as invisible as it gets.
Humminbird introduced sonar for ice-fishing this year. They incorporated features into these units that enable an angler to carefully monitor what the fish are doing. The ICE 55 unit has lots of features that will help you catch more fish through the ice. Keep in mind that there are lots of little things that you can do to catch more fish through the ice. If you do the little things, your catches will increase.

BBQ'd cornbread
Fire Safety Admin
2003/06/29 16:14:47
I watched Emeriel today on the Food Channel. It was a BBQ show where Emeriel was cooking at one of his friends. It featured five winners of a contest and the number one winner was the BBQ cornbread. The guy that won it was from Rossville, GA which is a suburb of Chattanooga. He did basic cornbread, except he used huge amounts of butter and sugar and added a large amount of BBQ pork. The cornbread looked delicious. I would have added onions, jalapeno peppers and some bacon grease.
I would have never thought about adding BBQ shredded pork butte to the mixture. Another thing that I thought strange as he cooked at 350 degrees for one hour and I would have cooked 450 for 45 minutes. I do that for the crust. He also added six eggs to the mixture. I never add more than one or two. Whatever. Sure looked goooooood

I'll tell y'all more about the place one night when the library isn't about to closeup on me at midpost. It's 9:48 and the bells are ringing, tintinabulating.

Chief Justice Abrahamson applauds Janesville students' field research
That was the message from Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson to Craig and Parker students in Joe Van Rooy�s Madison Seminar program.
�We are often personally involved to some degree in issues, especially many of the controversial issues, especially the issues you are here to research,� Abrahamson said during a briefing for the 38 students at the Madison Club. �The first thing you need to do it to realize that you have opinions, and then you must set them aside and concentrate on the facts.�
The list of issues being researched by the students mirrors issues the Supreme Court deals with, Abrahamson said.
�You are looking at stem cell research, the state budget, unions and collective bargaining and BadgerCare,� she said. �Those are all controversial issues, but we all need to set aside our personal interests to ensure that we look at all the information out there, concentrate on the facts and then make a decision.�
Abrahamson congratulated Van Rooy for preparing a diverse array of research opportunities. The students also heard from Wisconsin Education Association Council, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, Department of Administration Secretary Mike Heubsch, Democratic Sen. Tim Cullen of Janesville and Republican Sen. Dale Schultz of Richland Center.
The students will write opinion pieces on their topics based on their research.
�That�s your opportunity to deliver your opinion, much the same way judges do after considering the facts and applying the law,� Abrahamson said. �I�m very excited for you as you embark on your research.�
Abrahamson is no stranger to the Madison Club. She pioneered open membership at the historic organization.
�In 1974, I was a practicing attorney and was invited to this club with other women from the Dane County Board of Supervisors and the Madison City Council,� she said. �When it was time to have lunch, the women were informed that we had to leave because women were not served lunch in any of the dining rooms at the club.
�We were not happy about that, and our feelings became know,� Abrahamson said. �Well, I have a letter framed and on the wall of my office from the club apologizing. I�ve been a member ever since, and I�m pleased to report that men, women and people of all races and ethnic backgrounds are welcomed at the club.�
Craig and Parker principals attended the Abrahamson briefing.
�I was especially struck by the story about women in the club,� said Craig Principal Alison Spiegel. �That�s a great message for our students. I was also pleased to hear the chief justice recognize the research being conducted by the students.�
Parker Principal Chris Laue said he was delighted to see the students interacting with the chief justice.
�This shows off the high quality work being conducted by our students,� he said. �It�s just great to see them take on difficult and controversial issues and apply the learning tools from the AP program.�
In addition to the group briefings, each student is required to conduct four individual topic interviews with state officials. The interviews and other research are used to write a paper on the issues and an opinion piece.

The Caulfield to Dandenong Level Crossing Removal Project is removing nine level crossings and rebuilding five stations. The Cranbourne-Pakenham train line is Melbourne's busiest and is crossed by some of our most congested roads.
The boom gates at Noble Park's Corrigan Road level crossing are down for up to 72 minutes during the weekday peak between 7:00am and 9:00am, impacting travel times for thousands of motorists and for all road users.
The Corrigan Road level crossing removal is part of the Caulfield to Dandenong project, which involves removing nine level crossings, rebuilding five new stations at Carnegie, Murrumbeena, Hughesdale, Clayton and Noble Park.
Learn more about the Caulfield to Dandenong project.
A project of the size and complexity of the Caulfield to Dandenong Level Crossing Removal Project involves a considerable amount of design work to arrive at the finished product. The project is split into 160 individual design packages. We prioritise these packages and progressively pass them onto the construction team when complete. Staging the design in this way is typical of a major infrastructure project and allows us to start and finish sooner. Check out our Project Design fact sheet for more information.
View the Noble Park Station Design Fact Sheet.

Construction impacts
Station precinct changes
Work has started to remove the Corrigan Road level crossing and rebuild Noble Park Station. This has involved the following changes to the station precinct which came into effect from mid-October 2016:
- Temporary waiting room with CCTV and customer help point and safety zone on the platform*
- Pedestrian access changes at the underpass which will remain Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant
- Width of Platform will be reduced but will remain Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant
- Changes to the way you enter and exit Platform 2
- Relocation of myki machines and myki readers to the temporary station entrance.
* Protective Services Officers will continue to patrol the station daily from 6:00pm until the last service.
While accessibility will be maintained, customers with special needs are encouraged to call the Community Information Line on 1800 762 667 to discuss specific requirements.
Car park closures
Noble Park Station Mons Parade car park is now closed until mid-2018 so we can start works to remove level crossings, construct elevated tracks and rebuild the station.
Noble Park Station Douglas Street car park is partially closed (up to 12 car spaces), until mid-2018.
To ensure there is no loss of parking for rail customers during construction, the car park at Sandown Park has been extended to provide approximately 166 additional car spaces.
During construction, station car park users are encouraged to plan their travel and consider alternative transport to nearby stations and offset car park locations.
For your safety, please observe any signage and instructions put in place during these works.

text: I love fuzz, and it's always been one of my favorite effects. Always been into psychedelic rock, stoner rock, and doom- from old to new. I'd like to get a pedal to play this type of music and there a ton of options out there. Most fuzzes I see are guitar pedals however. I'm looking for a fuzz that doesn't just wreck your original tone (clean blend maybe?); isn't too harsh, i like a bit of a smoother or creamier tone, one that doesn't peak and screech; one that can stand out in the mix; and one that's gain versatile- i can go from a little grit on top for light rock to heavy saturation for hard stoner . Some fuzz pedals I've come across and seen suggested on Talkbass are: Darkglass Duality Tech 21 BB Fuzz Amptweaker Tightfuzz Way Huge Swollen Pickle Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian Black Arts Pharaoh Malekko Bassmaster Malekko Diabolik EHX Big Muff Discussion and comparisons between these would be great, and feel free to make suggestions of others you feel might suit my needs. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe what I tend to like is somewhat a modern muff based tone.

A PILOT scheme that will see mental health nurses joining police on the streets is due to be launched in North Yorkshire today (Monday, March 24).
The aim of the mental health street triage scheme is to reduce the number of people detained in police custody under the Mental Health Act (MHA).
The joint initiative – between North Yorkshire Police, Police and Crime Commissioner Julia Mulligan and Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust – will be launched in Scarborough today (Monday, March 24) as a pilot scheme for the force.
It will see mental health nurses attending incidents if police suspect an individual has a mental illness. The scheme has been successfully piloted in the Cleveland area and resulted in a large reduction in people unnecessarily detained under the MHA.
Police who believe an individual has a mental illness will contact the street triage team and a mental health nurse will assess whether the person needs help from mental health, social care or other support services.
The nurses will use an unmarked vehicle to provide on-the-spot assessments.
Chief Constable of North Yorkshire Police, Dave Jones said: "Police officers are regularly called to incidents involving people who are in need of care and support, but often have no option other than to take them into police custody for their own and other people's safety. The street triage project means that they will receive immediate and appropriate help on the spot.
"Together with the recent opening of two places of safety in Scarborough and York for people detained under the Mental Health Act, this is extremely welcome news for the area.
Julia Mulligan added: "If successful, this pilot has the potential to prevent mental health crises and drastically reduce the number of people detained under the mental health act."

Guest: Tax inversions threaten U.S. economy
How the U.S. government can stop exit of U.S. companies choosing to relocate their headquarters to other countries to avoid having to pay taxes on income earned overseas, according to guest columnist Jerry Wegman.
Special to The Times
CORPORATE America is in the grip of an epidemic of tax inversions, gimmicks used by some multinational corporations to avoid paying income tax. U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., recently called inversions a "plague."
These tax inversions have the potential to bring on the next financial crisis. Just as the U.S. is recovering from the Great Recession, another crisis looms.
What are tax inversions?
Tax inversions are a tactic being used by multinational companies based in the U.S. to avoid paying taxes on the more than $2 trillion they are holding overseas. (Redmond-based Microsoft is holding $76 billion overseas, second only to General Electric's $110 billion.)
U.S. companies do not pay U.S. income tax on overseas earnings. But when they bring those earnings back to this country, they must pay the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 35 percent.
In order to avoid this, companies are renouncing their U.S. citizenship and moving abroad. They do this by merging with smaller companies in low-tax countries while keeping most of the corporate management and operations in the U.S.
First, a large U.S.-based multinational company acquires a small company in a low-tax foreign country. Then the merged company declares its legal residence to be the low-tax country. The company's tax rate goes down.
The largest company to invert so far is Minneapolis-based medical-device maker Medtronic. It recently purchased Ireland-based Covidien. The merged company plans to renounce its U.S. citizenship and become a citizen of Ireland, where the income tax rate is 12.5 percent.
The drugstore chain Walgreens had considered a move to Switzerland by increasing its stake in the Swiss retailer Alliance Boots, but abandoned the moving plans Wednesday after political pressure.
Inversions remain an imminent threat because there is a great risk that they will snowball. As inversions become more common, the stigma of renouncing United States citizenship will fade, reinforcing the cycle. Eventually a reverse stigma could even develop, where companies that didn't invert would be deemed to be inefficient. They could be sued by shareholders alleging a violation of management's fiduciary duty to them by failing to maximize profits through inversion.
Meanwhile, as the tax base shrinks, the U.S. Treasury will take in less and less money. Congress would have to either raise taxes on everyone else, or cut spending. Is our quarrelsome and partisan Congress up to that task? If not, a financial crisis would result.
Most reform proposals deal with the problem on a piecemeal, stopgap basis. A bandage here, a tourniquet there.
There is a fundamental reform that would be an antidote to the plague of inversions and would also cure many other tax abuses. For years, U.S. states have successfully been using various forms of a system called "sales factor apportionment" to determine which state is entitled to tax the earnings of companies that do business in several states. This is exactly the same problem as determining which country is entitled to tax the earnings of companies that do business in several countries.
Sales factor apportionment is simple, efficient and transparent. If company A sells half of its products in the U.S. and half abroad, then the U.S. would be entitled to tax half of company A's worldwide income. So if the company earned $100 million, the U.S. could tax $50 million.
Note this is an income tax, not a sales tax. Economists Michael Udell and Aditi Vashist recently demonstrated in a report for Tax Notes Today that sales factor apportionment would broaden the tax base and would help to close loopholes that allow U.S. multinationals to underreport their incomes. The increased revenue collected by eliminating underreporting would allow for a reduction of tax rates generally. The result would be that multinational corporations would finally pay more equitable taxes, and the rest of us would get some tax relief.
A sales factor apportionment would also help close one of the largest tax-avoidance loopholes: off-shored, untaxed profits.
Congress should act now to block the looming threat of financial crisis by passing the Stop Corporate Inversions Act of 2014. But it should not just kick the can down the road with another stopgap measure; Congress should get at the root of the problem by adopting fundamental reforms like sales factor apportionment.

Subject: Re: You're a Good Mon, Charlie Blackmon
Date: June 14, 2011 2:13 PM
To: Chris Liss
I want to make it clear before I begin, Liss, that this is not Jeff Erickson with whom you're corresponding. Erickson has informed me - has informed all of Team RotoWire - that he's going on vacation. While that assuredly might be the case, I find it odd that he's cleared out his desk, that his cell phone no longer connects, and that the balance total of RotoWire's super secret Swiss bank account is missing the right-most zero.
Coincidence? Very likely not.
In any case, given the opportunity to seize everything I ever wanted in one moment (i.e. contribute to Charging the Mound), allow me to steer this conversation towards a topic that I'm fully prepared to drive into the ground - namely, Rockies left field Charlie Blackmon.
Blackmon, for me, represents a case study in a fact that I think a number of fantasy owners ignore - which is that, in many keeper-league formats, you can play for now and later simultaneously.
It's fitting that I'm sending this to you on the very same day that RotoWire prospect-maven Jason Collette has published his latest top-100 rankings list. One feature of Collette's rankings that is both (a) very helpful and (b) kinda courageous is that he includes the previous month's ranking. This allows us to get a sense of just how much a prospect's, uh, prospects can change just in the span of a month.
Consider, for example, the case of Philly farmhand Jonathan Singleton, who's dropped 50 spots in Collette's rankings, moving from 30th overall to 80th since the beginning of May. Not only is Singleton's offense down from the levels he set in his first two minor-league seasons, but an attempt to convert him from first base to outfield (where he'd be more valuable both in fantasy and in real-live baseball) has been aborted.
Consider, on the other hand, the case of another first baseman, Arizona's Paul Goldschmidt. At the beginning of May, Goldschmidt was absent from Collette's list; now he's (Goldschmidt, not Collette) 52nd overall. Goldschmidt is walking more than he strikes out (52:45 BB:K) just one year after posting a BB:K of 57:161. He's slashing an impressive .343/.465/.687 (.354 BABIP) despite playing in a neutral park. None of this seemed particularly likely even two months ago, but it's happened, and it bodes well for Goldschmidt's major-league prospects.
Blackmon is the best-case scenario of the Goldschmidt path. He appeared nowhere on the very smart John Sickels' preseason top-100 prospect list; was 83rd on Collette's May version of same; and is now a starting left fielder for the Colorado Rockies. He offers plate discipline, some power, and is already 3-for-3 on stolen-base attempts. He is, in short, a young player who'll likely out-value a lot of the players who appeared above him on these sorts of lists, but who was probably available - even in keeper leagues - until very recently.
I'm curious, what're your thoughts on this, generally? Do you have a ranking cut-off after which you won't invest long term? Like, maybe Bryce Harper and Mike Trout make sense, but someone like Jonathan Singleton was never an option for you? Do you go hard after non-prospects with MLB jobs, like Blackmon?

What prospects I'd be willing to keep depends on the league depth and replacement value obviously, so I can't say as a general matter where the cut-off is. I do think that it's important not to confuse prospect lists with cheat sheets for fantasy. For one, stolen base prospects like Blackmon and Dee Gordon are far more valuable in fantasy than in real life. But more importantly, prospects are usually graded on long-term potential, and not on usefulness for this year. If you look at Collette's list, Manny Machado and Harper are in the top five, but there's no chance either one will help your fantasy team this year.
As you know, that's because players who hit well at 18 or 19 in the minors and whom scouts like typically have the highest long-term ceilings, but they're less likely to be ready in the near term. But if a player like Blackmon - who's 24 - starts to get it in the high minors, there's a good chance he'll be ready to produce in the big leagues. In fact, minor league numbers being equal, I think I'd take a 23 or 24 year old over a 21 year old for this year only. The latter probably has the higher long-term ceiling and will almost certainly be regarded as the better long-term prospect, but for this year, give me J.P. Arencibia over Jesus Montero (easy to say that now, I know).
I also think it's normal for prospect lists to change drastically over shorter samples because players are getting exposed to new levels, and there's not a lot of data on them to begin with - at least compared to major leaguers who have longer track records. Moreover, there's naturally more volatility as these guys aren't yet fully formed as players, and often get taller, heavier and stronger as they mature. So yes, Goldschimdt should be drastically bumped up.
That said, I do value pedigree - I usually have Alex Gordon and Matt Wieters on my teams even though this is the first year they might actually earn their draft-day costs. But I like getting these guys post-hype if I can, and I like that they've had their share of big league experience already. But bottom line, winning your AL or NL-only league this year is typically more about finding the Blackmon's, Brennan Boesch's (2010), Nolan Reimold's (2009), etc. and not rostering the obvious top prospects at retail.
So with that in mind - who are some of the other players of that level - 25-year old guys hitting well at Triple-A who could make an impact that might be overlooked? While everyone's waiting on Desmond Jennings, who else besides Blackmon might you snag?

Liss, I'll go ahead and give you three each of pitchers and hitters I'm currently tracking with interest. While not all these guys are as old as you suggest, none of them are currently top prospects, either. As you probably know - but what some readers might not - is that FIP stands for Fielding Independent Pitching. You can read more about it here, but it's essentially an ERA estimator that focuses just on strikeouts, walks, and home runs-allowed - i.e. the things over which a pitcher has most control.
Below are three pitchers, roughly in order of interest. I like each of these guys because they're known for having "stuff," but not, before this season, having much control over it.
Name: Brad Peacock (WAS), RHP, 23
Numbers: 73.1 IP, 12.40 K/9, 1.96 BB/9, 0.37 HR/9, 1.67 FIP (Double-A)
Comment: Throws hard and has an excellent curve, according to reports, but has had problems with his changeup in the past. Numbers against lefties and righties are almost identical this year, which suggests something is going right.
Name: Nathan Eovaldi (LAD), RHP, 21
Numbers: 57.1 IP, 10.20 IP, 3.45 K/9, 0.31 HR/9, 2.59 FIP (Double-A)
Comment: Like Peacock, has high a velocity fastball (ca 93-96 mph, per Baseball America) but has had problems with secondary pitches. The strikeout rate (compared to last year's, at High-A, of just 6.14) suggests something might be going well.
Name: Austin Adams (CLE), RHP, 24
Numbers: 54.0 IP, 10.17 K/9, 5.50 BB/9, 0.33 HR/9, 3.37 FIP (Double-A)
Comment: The same description that applies to the above two pitchers roughly applies to Adams. You can see in that walk total he's not a finished project, but the Indians also lack upside arms in their rotation (for example, can you tell the difference between Mitch Talbot and Josh Tomlin?), which is encouraging for Adams, I think.
And here are three batters - again, in order of interest. I should note batters are a little different, in that they typically don't have breakouts the same way pitchers do.
Name: Zack Cozart (CIN), SS, 25
Numbers: 258 PA, .332/.376/.508, .363 BABIP (Triple-A)
Comment: Has previously had problems with contact, but has cut his strikeout rate down to 13.9% this season (from 19.3% last). Is 7-for-8 on stolen-base attempts so far and was 30-for-34 last year. His glove will stick at short, and his only competition is from Paul Janish and Edgar Renteria.
Name: Conor Gillaspie (SF), 3B, 23
Numbers: 216 PA, .278/.355/.428, .310 BABIP (Triple-A)
Comment: Was recently promoted - and then promptly demoted - by the Giants. Gillaspie doesn't have a crazy standout tool, but has pretty stellar plate discipline and finished with the lead in home runs at Arizona Fall League.
Name: Wily Mo Pena (ARI), OF, 29
Numbers: 244 PA, .343/.422/.709, .356 BABIP (Triple-A)
Comment: You can adjust that batting line for park and league all you want, but it's still going to be impressive. Pena's at the point now where, because he was originally signed to a major-league contract, he's had more PAs in the high minors since 2009 than he did before he made his major-league debut as a 20-year-old in 2002, which makes me think he could be learning something, even at this late-ish stage.

I like Cozart in that park, too, if the Reds decide they're sick of Janish's and Renteria's sub .600 OPS. I also like that he's 25 years old already. I don't like that veteran-revering Dusty Baker's the manager, though.
Two names that have fallen under the radar of late are Travis Snider .315/.385/.449 at Triple-A and Ian Stewart (.320/.426/.701). Snider merely needs to beat out Juan Rivera, Rajai Davis, Corey Patterson or Edwin Encarnacion for at-bats, none of whom are important components of the team's future, while Stewart just has to jump over Ty Wigginton who is subpar defensively as a full-time third baseman, and it's not like Stewart didn't hit 25 homers as a 24-year old in 425 at-bats two years ago. The season is less than halfway over, and players considered flops so far can still turn it around.
And despite what you might think about Chris Davis, he did not embarrass himself in 52 big-league at-bats (.269/.333/.481) and is absolutely annihilating Triple-A .(364/.400/.867). By most accounts he's also very good defensively. Maybe it's impossible to be a corner infielder and survive with poor contact skills and few walks, but Alfonso Soriano doesn't profile all that differently, and at 25 Davis can still get better.

HOW in the heck do we EVER get it through the RNC's heads that we're DONE with them? That they need to change NOW!
(don't tell me not to send them any money...I should hope NO one on this forum gives them a cent!)
I never gave them one damn cent this time. I sent a small contribution to a candidate that I supported till he got ousted by the one we ran with and that's IT.
I think money (or the lack thereof) is the key to turning them. It's what they understand. It's ALL they understand.
I switched my voter registration to Independent. I don't care if they get the message or not, I just couldn't stomach being associated with so much breath-taking stupidity. I believe the GOP is well on its way to Whig status now.

Annual "Walk for Literacy" Raises Funds for Local New Brunswick Daycare and South African KindergartenOctober 14, 2010 on 1:04 am | In Students Making a Difference, USA Program News | No Comments
The Global Literacy Project partnered once more with G.O.Y.A, a Rutgers student organization for one of the most successful literacy walks to date! On October 9, 2010, the fall sun gleamed in a perfect sky for the over 15 participating groups who turned out to walk the 5K route through New Brunswick with self-painted banners representing their organizations. Music, food, t-shirts and smiles created an atmosphere of friendship—walking towards a common goal—an all empowering body of individuals committed to local youth and the advocacy of literacy. There was an unmistakable hum of cooperation and energy present in the air of New Brunswick that day!
The walk began in front of Douglass Campus Center and ended at the steps of Brower Commons on College Avenue. Over one hundred participants were treated to a post-walk celebration party. The walk generated greatly needed funds to buy computers for the P.R.A.B, a local New Brunswick daycare and to support global education initiatives. A portion of the funds raised will also help complete the renovation of a kindergarten classroom in South Africa during GLP's next Global Learning Expedition slated for January 2-14, 2011. It was a proud day for all those involved. The "Walk for Literacy" planning committee is already planning to expand the scope of the walk in 2011 based on the positive feedback of the last two years. GOYA and GLP extend their sincerest "thank yous" to everyone who supported this year's event–together we are creating and fostering a culture of empowerment and education by providing literacy reading programs, supplies and awareness. Join us next year…ask us HOW!?

I picked this one up on a whim yesterday, because who doesn't love Market Spice tea? No matter where you get it, it's always a delightful treat.
It strikes me as seasonal and reminds me more of Christmas, but I still enjoy it from time to time other times of the year. The orange, clove, cinnamon mix with a black tea base just works so well. It's rich in it's own way.
I just checked the tracking on a huge box of teas (huge, like 1.5 kg) I sent me friend in the US. When I first checked the tracking days ago all was well, and now the expected delivery date has changed, and the expected delivery city now says the same city it left from! Why, Canada Post?!

A hillWALKER has been airlifted to hospital after plunging 400 feet from a mountain in the Highlands.
The man fell from the Forcan Ridge that approaches the 3314ft high The Saddle in Glenshiel yesterday.
Police coordinated the rescue with assistance from Skye Mountain Rescue Team, Kintail Mountain Rescue Team and the Stornoway Coastguard search and rescue helicopter.

The injured man was airlifted to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness where his condition is unknown.
The traverse of the Forcan Ridge is one of the classic Scottish mountain expeditions. The mountain's name refers to the shape of the summit ridge.
It was originally known by its Gaelic name of An Dìollaid but this has now been lost through common usage of its English translation and it is now one of the few mountains in highland Scotland with an English name.

Inspired by mom, Big Z stays hot, beats Padres
Inspired by mom, Big Z stays hot, beats Padres
Zambrano, pitching in front of his mother for the first time in his big league career, threw seven scoreless innings to lead the Cubs to a 1-0 victory over the Padres on Monday night. Chicago now is 20-11 since Mike Quade took over Aug. 23.
Zambrano, Sean Marshall and Carlos Marmol combined on the four-hit shutout, the 12th blanking by the Cubs this season, their most since 14 in 2003. With the loss, the Padres dropped one game behind the idle Giants in the National League West. It was Chicago's first win over San Diego in five games this season.
"This is what you expect when you come here -- 1-0, good pitching, good defense, on the edge of your seat for nine innings," Quade said. "They live it every day and when you come in here as a visitor, it's really something. We had three guys pitch great for us and a couple big hits and there it is."
Zambrano (10-6) fanned five to raise his career strikeout total to 1,436 and now is second on the Cubs' all-time list, passing Charlie Root (1,432). Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins is first with 2,038 K's.
"One of the greatest pitchers of all time said he'd rather have a sinker and movement than velocity and that was Greg Maddux," Zambrano said of the four-time Cy Young winner and former Cubs pitcher. "It's good to pitch with velocity but for me, like Maddux says, it's good to have movement and have all your pitches look like each other. My sinker looks like my split-finger. That confuses the hitters."
He got some help from his defense. With a runner on first and none out in the Padres' second, first baseman Xavier Nady made a leaping catch to snare Chase Headley's line drive and then stepped on the bag for a double play.
His mother was finally able to see her son in person. She got a visa this month so she could leave Venezuela and come to the United States.
"I knew she was there and she inspired me," Zambrano said. "I've been pitching here for nine years without my mom and today was special. It was good to see her in the stands and good to get the win."
Did he hear her at all during the game?
"She's totally the opposite of my dad," Zambrano said. "My dad can be in the stands and you'll know it. My mom is quiet and she's more calm. If I had a son, I'd be in the stands clapping and doing all kinds of things for him."
She's expected to be there for his season finale Saturday in Houston. Zambrano has looked more like the No. 1 pitcher on the Cubs staff in the last few weeks.
"I read the other day in the paper the 'former ace' -- somebody was talking about myself as the 'former ace,'" Zambrano said. "If you can count [wins], you can see if I'm the former ace or I'm still the ace of this team.
"I always say this team has four aces or five aces and as soon as you start the season, everybody's an ace for the team," he said. "I still have confidence in myself and all my pitches are working now and thank God, I can use all my pitches in any situation, any count."
Which is what he did, keeping the Padres off balance.
"I don't want to say he's reinvented himself," Padres manager Bud Black said, "but tonight I saw a three-pitch mix with a lot of secondary pitches when he was behind in the count. It's a credit to him ... mid-stream, changing his style."
The Cubs managed five hits over seven innings against Tim Stauffer (5-5) and had a tough time getting anything past the middle-infield combo of David Eckstein and Miguel Tejada.
With one out in the Chicago seventh, Alfonso Soriano doubled to left and scored on Blake DeWitt's single. That was it.
Carlos Marmol made it interesting in the ninth, notching his 35th save in his 300th career relief appearance. He's the sixth Cubs reliever to appear in 300 games. But it wasn't easy.
The Padres loaded the bases with two outs on a single, a questionable hit batter and a walk. Tony Gwynn battled Marmol for the walk, and pinch-hitter Nick Hundley flied out to left to end the game.
"[Marmol] wasn't going to give in to Gwynn and was just going to keep pitching," Quade said. "A save's a save. Lots of guys can fold -- he does get in situations sometimes and you can fold your tent, but he rarely does."
Zambrano now is 7-0 with a 1.07 ERA (seven earned runs in 59 innings) in his last nine starts dating to Aug. 14. It's the second-best ERA in the Major Leagues, trailing Seattle's Felix Hernandez (1.06 ERA).
"He's pitching now," Tejada said. "He does not have the 98 [mph fastball] any more. He's always been a good pitcher. Now I think he's throwing the right pitch when he needs it."
Quade admitted he was a little greedy and would like to see Zambrano win a couple more. Boston's Jon Lester is the only other pitcher to win seven games since Aug. 14.
"He's attacking the zone with confidence now and he should be successful when he's doing that," Quade said. "The results speak for themselves. One more good start in Houston and that will be some kind of finish. He's been fantastic."

Does anyone know why a MySQL Server would be automatically rebooting at midnight? I never set it to reboot and can't find an option to change this. I've also searched online and can't find an answer. Any ideas?Rebooting? Is the mysqld process restarting at midnight, or is the whole machine running the MySQL server rebooting? Is there anything in /var/log/daemon.log?Yes - the daemon.log indicates that the mysql server is rebooting just before midnight. The machine is not rebooting, just MySQL Server.

Good news in Sheboygan
Kevin of Lakeshore Laments reports his father is doing well following the heart transplant. We in the Wigderson household pray for a speedy recovery.
This is a good time to remind everyone to not only fill out the back of your driver's license, but talk to your family members as well. Let them know of your desire to be an organ donor. When you're gone, your organs won't do you much good. But they just might save someone else's life.
