NY Super Bowl won't catch NFL out in the cold
With more questions than answers surrounding the Super Bowl being played outdoors in a cold-weather climate next February, one thing is for certain: The NFL will have an extensive contingency plan in place to account for bad weather.
The league is considering various options that include the possibility of delaying the contest several days in the event of a weather emergency on game day. The league even could decide to play the game on Saturday if faced with an ominous forecast, sources said.
The NFL's contigency plans leave open the possibility of rescheduling the game if a blizzard hits New York.

"We have to look at all the angles: storm arriving day-of-game, storm arriving prior to game, storm arriving after game," one source said.
If the game, set for Feb. 2, has to be rescheduled, a host of complications would arise. For example, if the game were played later than on Sunday, fans would have to reschedule flights, something that would become especially problematic considering potential airport closings. Hotel accommodations also would come into play, as fans would need to extend their stays.
Similar problems would occur if the game is moved to Saturday, since some ticket holders do not arrive until the day of game.
"You know it will be a lot cooler, but there will be a lot of people and transportation issues regardless," said Jeff Miller, NFL vice president of security. "When you have a lot of moving parts and large crowds, you are moving on transportation systems already overloaded with daily commuters, so you've got some issues to deal with."

The league was especially fortunate last year in Indianapolis, where mild temperatures held steady through the week.
But next year's game is seen as the test case for future cold-weather-climate Super Bowls. Most are bracing for what is expected to be unparalleled interest.
The league is prepared for significant demand for tickets and hospitality, with some veteran sponsors predicting record-high prices for both.
"The challenge I see is that the stadium is only so big and demand is far going to exceed availability," said Dave Wintergrass, the NFL's senior director of events.
Wintergrass directs NFL On Location, which sells on-site Super Bowl hospitality packages ranging from $3,949 to $8,849 per person. "We had requests to leave deposits since last October."
Media presence during Super Bowl week also is expected to be greater than normal, especially since all of the major broadcasting companies have extensive studio space in and around Manhattan. The increased broadcast attention will follow from what happened this year in New Orleans, where CBS essentially took over Jackson Square, a popular landmark in New Orleans.
"We will still have a presence in New York, but we don't know what that will be yet," said David Berson, executive vice president of CBS Sports and president of CBS Sports Network. "We envision it will be a different approach from this year, when it's our game."
Fox Sports, which holds the rights to next year's Super Bowl, was mum on its plans for New York, mainly because it still hasn't officially announced its plans to launch the all-sports channel Fox Sports 1 in August.
Fox has identified the New York Super Bowl as a big opportunity to build the Fox Sports 1 brand and is planning to carry several New York-based events in the run-up to the game, including college basketball games, a U.S. women's national soccer team game from Yankee Stadium and a UFC event from the Prudential Center.
Much like CBS Sports this year, Fox Sports will have an extensive set for Fox Sports 1, most likely on or near Super Bowl Boulevard, which will run along Broadway from 34th to 44th streets (see related story, Page 1). Plus, it plans to share talent between the broadcast network and the cable channel and will use Fox News' studios liberally.
In years past, ESPN virtually owned Super Bowl week, carrying out its motto that it owns everything around the Super Bowl but the game. ESPN has always built the biggest sets and produced the most TV hours around the game.
Once NFL Network launched, the two channels shared the market. Now, the NFL's other TV partners, and their all-sports cable channels, are taking part, too.
ESPN hasn't made its decisions about New York yet but has been looking for locations that combine a good backdrop of the city with heavy foot traffic.
It's the size and everyday clutter of New York that dominated conversations in New Orleans, as concerned marketers stressed it will make social, digital and street marketing efforts much more important.
"The Super Bowl is always a noisy marketing environment, as is New York," said Alex Craddock, head of Visa North America marketing. "We think that will be tempered by more people interacting with a Super Bowl city than ever. All of our programs have a social component now, so we'll ratchet that up to a level that fits both New York and the Super Bowl."
It's not just New York's cluttered marketing environment that will be difficult, marketers say. It will be figuring out how to activate with fans in the market, as well.
"We are more concerned about the logistics of it all than the marketing," said Carolyn Eckert, sponsorship, promotions and creative services manager at NFL sponsor Castrol. "I can't see anyone doing grand scale efforts [outside]. We're going to have to rethink our activation with fans. You can't really put big build-outs on the street; New York City won't allow that. So I think it gets down to more street marketing teams, social media, along with customer-engagement events."
Even top hospitality companies aren't quite sure what to expect, though they are confident sales will be big.
"Demand will be there. It already is," said Keith Bruce, whose SportsMark runs NFL House and was executing Super Bowl hospitality in New Orleans for 10 clients, including Visa and CBS. "Operationally, it's going to be very difficult … because a lot of people won't want to sit outside."
On the road to recovery? NHRA gets back in the black for first time since 2008
The NHRA ended four years of declining revenue last year and generated a modest profit of approximately $1 million.
The profit put the organization in the black for the first time since 2008. It saw its revenue decrease by more than 20 percent following the recession, and it lost $3.4 million in 2011 when revenue fell below $100 million, its most recent tax filings show.
"We were still facing economic challenges, but we made money in 2012," Compton said. "We were back in the black."
The organization's bottom line got a boost from a new race it added in St. Louis, an increase in attendance and several major sponsorship renewals, including deals with series title sponsors Lucas Oil and Coca-Cola. It also continued to manage costs by laying off some personnel and controlling its travel expenses.
Compton said he expects this season, which begins Thursday in Pomona, Calif., to build on last year. Several tracks are reporting advanced ticket sales, and the series is adding a race in Epping, N.H., which will bring it into New England for the first time in more than a decade.
In addition, the NHRA plans to offer its first live broadcast of qualifying. ESPN, which broadcasts drag races, will cut into second-round coverage of qualifying during the NHRA's race in Houston this April.
The NHRA expects the year to deliver a feature film on drag racing. Rhino Films is expected to release "Snake and Mongoose," a feature-length movie about the 1960s rivalry between Don "The Snake" Prudhomme and Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen. The movie stars Jesse Williams of "Grey's Anatomy."
The organization also expects a bump from promotion of its new title sponsor.
The NHRA's 2011 tax document, which was filed late last year, shows that the organization's total revenue decreased 6 percent from the prior year to $98.2 million. Admissions revenue fell 8 percent to $38.7 million and sponsorship fell 5 percent to $37.6 million. Expenses decreased by 3 percent to $104.4 million, and the organization finished with a deficit of $3.4 million.
WTA to review medical timeout procedures
The WTA Tour is reviewing whether changes to its medical timeout procedures are necessary in the wake of the controversy engendered by world No. 1 player Victoria Azarenka and her stoppage at a pivotal moment of her Australian Open semifinal victory.
Azarenka went on to win the tournament, but the semifinal incident drew sharp and immediate criticism in the media and has been viewed by many as a black eye for the sport.
Azarenka's timeout came as American teenager Sloane Stephens was attempting to rally late in the match. While players are allowed medical timeouts, the issue of players taking timeouts for strategic, rather than medical, reasons long has been viewed as a problem in tennis.
Azarenka did not mention an injury as the reason for the 10-minute stoppage when she was interviewed immediately after the match, but she did later cite a rib injury as the reason for leaving the court.
WTA Tour CEO Stacey Allaster said she has instructed her staff to look at the issue for the sport. The tour already penalizes players financially for taking more than six medical timeouts in a year. It is too early to say, Allaster said, whether more changes are necessary, such as a point penalty for a timeout as is done in the college ranks.
The ATP, in a statement, said, "We're confident the WTA would liaise with the ATP Medical Services Department if they have any changes/recommendations going forward on the rule on medical timeouts, or the application of the rule. Whilst we're always looking at ways to improve, we would not have anything further to comment at this stage."
Any changes the WTA or ATP were to make would not affect the four Grand Slam events, which are individually owned and managed by their respective national governing bodies or, in the case of Wimbledon, a private club.
Among the observers who criticized Azarenka's timeout were ESPN commentator Patrick McEnroe, who tweeted, "So let me get this straight. She had a lot of nerves and that's why she left the court. Unbelievable." A New York Times story on the incident was headlined, "A Timeout Jeered Round the World."

This holiday season, a Monongalia County realtor was on a mission to make the holidays a little brighter for residents.
For realtor Pat Stewart, showcasing homes in Monongalia County is typically all about business. But this year, a milestone anniversary for Stewart, she decided to do something a little bit different while making a difference in her community.
"This is my 40th anniversary in real estate. I went to the Meals on Wheels luncheon and found out it was their 40th anniversary. So I thought we ought to do something together," said Stewart.
Stewart decided to host the Holiday Home Showcase, a good old-fashioned competition in which residents submitted pictures of their houses, all decked out for Christmas.
"Some of these houses light up the neighborhood," said Stewart.
To judge the competition, she enlisted the help of some familiar faces in the community: Chief Ed Preston of the Morgantown Police Department, community leader Betty Puskar, and architect Larry Martin.
"We patrol these residential areas all the time. This is one of those unique times where instead of going out and looking for somebody doing what they're not supposed to, we're looking for good stuff," said Preston.
I had the privilege of joining them as the fourth judge, so we set out together to find a winner. But it wasn't as easy as we'd thought.
"I like very simple, but a few of them, they did a lot of work on it," said Puskar.
"My criteria was, would my granddaughter get excited if she saw it? If my granddaughter would get excited, I'd get excited," said Preston.
"[I looked for] originality, and in my case, I just like simplicity," said Martin.
Finally, we decided the winners: First place winner Kimberly Maynard of Cheat Lake received a prize of $1,000 from the Clear Mountain Bank.
Second prize went to Kevin and Katrina Schnopp of Elmhurst Street, who won a $500 gift certificate from Chuck's Furniture. The Schnopps also won the "People's Choice Award."
Rick Cartright of Herman Avenue was awarded third place, with prizes from Davis Lynch Glass Company and the Morgantown Mall.
All entry fees submitted by the homeowners will benefit the Morgantown Meals on Wheels.

Some may not agree with this message and I will probably get banned from this message board, but here goes anyway.
I joined this message board back in April 2009, when admittedly there were fewer of us here. Back then, it seemed nearly all the messages were quilting related. I've always tried to read each and every post daily in both the Main and Pictures sections. And tried to make appropriate comments, including assistance and encouragement.
Lately, I feel we've gotten away from this being a Quilter's Message Board. There seem to be too many posts with general sewing (Bow Tucks bags and clothing) and other hobbies (Antique sewing machine repair and needlepoint). I am finding it increasingly difficult to read all the posts now and am less inclined to do so, as I have no interest in these other activites. If I did, I would join a message board for those activities.
I sincerely feel, we need to get back to this message board's original purpose of quilting and eliminate many of the non-quilting related posts.

Lauryn Hill once reportedly said, "I would rather have my children starve than have white people buy my albums." The authenticity of the quote has been disputed, but there was no disputing her quotes during her sentencing on charges of massive tax evasion.
"I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them," Hill said before U.S. Magistrate Madeline Cox Arleo. "I had an economic system imposed on me."
As a millionaire, Hill had her choice of economic systems anywhere in the world. Her parents were a computer programmer and an English teacher. She grew up in South Orange NJ where the median household income is $123,373 a year. She went to Columbia High School, one of the top schools in the country, and then enrolled at Columbia University. All these are the hallmarks of a privileged life.
And that too is part of a pattern of fake radical black musicians with middle class suburban backgrounds.
Compare that to Ja Rule, who just finished his own sentence for tax evasion, and has the background you would expect a rap star to have.
At his sentencing hearing, Ja Rule said, "I in no way attempted to deceive the government or do anything illegal," he said minutes before being sentenced. "I was a young man who made a lot of money – I'm getting a little choked up – I didn't know how to deal with these finances, and I didn't have people to guide me, so I made mistakes."
You can sneer at his claims of innocence, but it's a more conventional and far less arrogant plea. And tellingly, Ja Rule was sentenced to 28 months in prison for failing to pay taxes on 3 million dollars. While Lauryn Hill was sentenced to 3 months for evading taxes on 1 million.
The difference is the privilege. Hill's upper class privilege carried her through, despite or rather because of her obnoxious behavior.
Black radicalism these days is largely privilege. It's the privilege of entitled men and women from middle class and upper class backgrounds, trying to get in touch with their inner black panther. Jeremiah Wright and Toure are the embodiments of that brand of entitled radicalism.

Description Edit
The Blackrock orcs don't come alone. You've already seen that they've got the Firegut ogres and Smolderthorn trolls on their side. Unfortunately for us, they're also teamed up with the black dragonflight.
The orcs and dragons have already sent some of their champions to stand guard at rally points, which are marked by a dragon skull on a pike. You and I are going to find these rally points and take out this vanguard before the battle starts. Ready?
Completion Edit
Your kill count is adding up, <name>. We're chipping away at them.
And we are going to win. Redridge will NOT fall to these cowards.
Notes Edit
Pick up Blood Tour and A Deal With a Dragon before heading out. Accepting the first of these three quests will put Keeshan in the player's party. Accept the rest of them before leaving Troteman. First, exit camp and turn west to reach the southwestern rally point by the pass to Redridge. Kill Akumi, then circle around Dreadmaul Rock counterclockwise to the northeast. All four of the targets are level 51s with 5502 health.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Gov. Rick Perry shrugged off his languishing poll numbers and reports of discord among his campaign aides Sunday, expressing confidence as Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses approach.
"Nobody's got a better ground game," he said on Fox News Sunday. "Nobody's got a better ability to go past Iowa."
Perry has signaled, though, that he has given up on the next contest, New Hampshire's Jan. 10 primary, to focus instead on South Carolina. And a Des Moines Register poll released Saturday shows that he's jockeying for fourth place in Iowa with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, behind Mitt Romney, Rep. Ron Paul and Rick Santorum.
Aide Ray Sullivan said the governor's advertising blitz — he and supporting committees have poured about $5 million into Iowa — has been reinforced by volunteers making 9,100 phone calls to potential supporters in the last three days.
"There's a chance he could come in second and a chance he could win," Sullivan said.
On Fox News, Perry dismissed a Politico report in which several of his aides, speaking anonymously, tagged his campaign as ineptly planned and subpar.
Perry acknowledged that his campaign "had some bumps and grinds" but said that to engage over anonymous reports is a "waste of time."
Perry repeated his attacks on Santorum, who is thought to have the most momentum in Iowa, over the former Pennsylvania senator's votes to raise the federal debt ceiling and for spending bills that contained pork projects.
Fox host Chris Wallace noted that Santorum has hit back at Perry by calling him a hypocrite, given that Texas has hired lobbyists to secure hundreds of millions of dollars in congressional earmarks under Perry.
"That is the process that they put in place in Washington, D.C.," Perry said. "The reason that states have to go up there and play that game is because Washington is broken."
He later attended services with his family at the Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines.
Sunday night, Perry and his wife, Anita, were spotted dining with billionaire publisher Steve Forbes, who'll stump with the governor Monday. They were at Django, a French restaurant in downtown Des Moines.
The other Texan in the race, Gulf Coast congressman Ron Paul, also appeared on Fox, arguing that his failure to enact much legislation in a long congressional career wouldn't hamper him as president.
"To elect me, the country has to change … which means the Congress will change," he said. "Now I'm a serious contender."
He defended an assertion from his 1987 book Freedom Under Siege that the government shouldn't protect workers from sexual harassment, saying that anyone who feels harassed bears some responsibility if he or she doesn't quit the job.
Police should deal with acts of violence, Paul said, but "because people are insulted by rude behavior, I don't think we should make a federal case out of that."
Paul, who was home in Texas for the weekend, expressed confidence in his position in Iowa. "The die has been cast," he said.

Noah called into the Ark
1 Then the Lord said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.
The Lord Said:
About 120-years from
Come: God's command was to come in the ark, God's presence would be with Noah. This is contrasted to the command given to Adam and Eve to leave the Garden.
Righteous: Noah's righteousness was transferred to his household; he set the example for his children. According to some Jewish traditions, Noah had other sons, except they did not follow in the way of him. Other descendents of Seth, did not heed the preaching of Noah, only those who entered the ark.
Noah brings the animals into the ark
2 "You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female;
3 "also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the
species alive on the face of all the earth.
Seven each: After the ark lands, Noah does a sacrificial offering to God. The clean animals as opposed to the unclean were made known to Noah before the flood. We can only assume they are similar to the ones in Leviticus. Most clean animals are herb and grain eating animals as opposed to ones which devour flesh, such as dogs, lions and vultures.
two each: Many of these animals could have died off or become extinct following the landing of the ark, since only two of each species were aboard.
seven...birds: Birds would have been need to scatter seeds and throughout the earth, so their multiplication was essential.
species alive: The word here is Zera meaning seed. The goal was to keep the genetic material alive on the earth.
Seven days until the flood
4 "For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made."
5 And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him.
Seven more days
I will cause
forty days...nights
Noah and his family
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.
7 So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth,
9 two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
Noah was
went into the ark
two by two
The flood begins
10 And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
Came to pass
Six hundred...second month...seventeenth day (600/2/17)
Great deep
Windows of heaven
God closes the door
13 On the very same day Noah and Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark
14 they and every beast after its kind, all cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
16 So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as
God had commanded him; and the Lord shut him in.
Same day
Entered the ark
Went into
Two by two
God commanded
Lord shut him in
The Ark is lifted
17 Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
18 The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, and the
ark moved about on the surface of the waters.
Flood...forty days
The ark moved
The earth covered
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered.
20 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.
Waters prevailed
All the high hills
Mountains covered
All flesh on earth is destroyed
21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth: birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.
23 So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the
ground: both man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air.
They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those who were
with him in the ark remained alive.
All flesh died
Only Noah
One hundred and fifty days
24 And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.
One hundred fifty days
God remembers Noah
1 Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2 The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also
stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
God remembered Noah
a wind to pass
waters subsided
The waters begin to decrease
3 And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4 Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of
the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
The waters receded
Waters decreased
Ark rested
Seventh month...seventeenth day (600/7/17)
The tops of the mountains seen
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6 So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7 Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8 He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.
9 But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.
10 And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark.
11 Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.
12 So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which
did not return again to him anymore.
Decreased continually
Tenth month...first day
Tops of mountains
Forty days
Seven days
The ground is dry
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month,
the earth was dried.
Six hundred...first year...first month...first day (601/1/1)
Second month...twenty-seventh-day (601/2/27)
Leaving the ark
15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 "Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you.
17 "Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may abound on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth."
18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him.
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever
creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the
God spoke
Go out
Bring out
Every animal...creeping thing....bird
According to their families
Sacrifice is offered
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean
animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the
Built an altar
Every clean animal...bird
God's promise and man's sin
21 And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His
heart, "I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, although
the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I
again destroy every living thing as I have done.
Soothing aroma
Never again
Evil from youth
Four Seasons
22 "While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat,
Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease."

Legal Question in Criminal Law in Tennessee
I am 21 and this girl I am talking to is 17 I live in MS and she lives in TN is it legal for us to have sex and also is it illegal to send her pictures of my body parts
Asked on 9/16/13, 1:19 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Under Tennessee law, if you are not more than four years older than her and she freely consents, yes you can legally engage in sexual relations. I do not know the answer under Mississippi law.
As for sending pictures of "body parts," (and I am going to assume you mean pictures of "areas normally covered by a swim suit") other than that being a really stupid idea, the answer is "NO" under Tennessee law. Worst, since the transmission would probably be across a state line and therefore involve "interstate communications" you run the risk of serious federal charges.

wikiHow to Clean Stamps
Four Methods:Cleaning stamps after useCleaning foam stampsCleaning dried-on ink off stampsRemoving lint or dust from stampsCommunity Q&A
Stamps can be kept clean by regularly wiping them clean after using. If you have let the ink stains build up over time, the stamp may need cleaning to remove ink that is marring the image, but it's unlikely that you'll be able to clean off the color. However, such stamps are still clean.
Cleaning stamps after use
1Choose a suitable method according to the type of stamp you have. Wooden and rubber stamps are best cleaned using wipes, while acrylic, foam or plastic stamps can be cleaned with soapy water.
2Use wipes. Baby, travel or other wipes can be used to wipe a stamp off, either rubber or acrylic/foam stamps. Wipe until the ink comes off, then press onto a paper towel to dry.
- Only use wipes free of alcohol or aloe vera.
3Use soapy water. This method is best for acrylic or plastic stamps that are formed from one material.
- Fill a bowl with warm, soapy water.
- Dip the stamp in.
- Scrub the ink off with either an old toothbrush or a cleaning cloth.
- Dab on a paper towel to dry.
Cleaning foam stamps
1Use wet wipes to wipe over foam-mounted stamps. Only use wipes that are free of alcohol or aloe vera. Press into a thick paper towel to dry.
2Wipe over the stamps with a large, water-dampened sponge. Wring the sponge out before doing this. To dry, press the cleaned stamp into a thick paper towel.
Cleaning dried-on ink off stamps
1Check the condition of your stamp. If it has a lot of dried ink in between the characters or lines, it is harder to read the printed image. If you are unsure just by looking at the stamp, do a test stamp on a piece of scrap paper, then check the document imprint.
- Dried ink that is flat and clean on the stamp is a color stain, not a dirty stamp. It is only if the ink has built up and interferes with your stamping that it's a real problem.
2Find a basin with hot, running water.
3Let the water run until it gets hot. Hold the stamp by the handle. Run the rubber image under the water until the water runs clear. It's okay to see black, red, or another color of ink while rinsing the stamp.
4Shake the stamp until it's dry enough for you. Use a paper towel to dry it completely.
- Clean the sink after, to remove any ink stains.

- Wipes only work on water/archival based ink; not permanent ink.
- If you are wearing long sleeves, push them up, or roll them up while removing ink; this will avoid any chance of removing ink.
- Cleaners to avoid include oil-based, acetone or bleach. Each of these will cause rubber to dry out, crack and potentially fall off.
Things You'll Need
- Non-alcoholic wipes
- Soapy water (use mild soap)
- Paper towels (thick or folded)
- Sponge

Last week, Governor-elect Brian Sandoval told Face to Face host Jon Ralston that he considers a tax to be different from a fee. The admission prompted the typical hue and cry from conservatives who believe a fee increase is a hidden tax increase.
But today Sandoval's incoming chief of staff put to rest the idea that Sandoval would include fee increases in his proposed budget.
"I don't believe fee increases or taxes will be part of this budget," Heidi Gansert said during a taping of To the Point. "I know they won't."
Gansert did reaffirm that the administration will be looking to suck revenue out of local coffers, most notably the Clark County School District.
"It's important we get funds to education and there is quite a bit sitting in Clark County right now," she said.

"There's more to be revealed and more to be told," Scott Weiland has said about recording a new album with Stone Temple Pilots. "The story's not finished." Those quotes date back to April 2008, when STP first announced plans to reunite to tour and record new music. The band has managed to keep it together since that initial tour, but there's been no sign of a new STP album. That is, until now. Weiland talked to Spinner recently about the prospects of the band's first album since 2001's Shangri-La Dee Da, and vowed that STP will get to work on the new LP once they're off the road.
Scott Weiland backstage and up close: exclusive photos.
"When we finish the album, there will be a big tour around its release and that will probably be a long tour," Weiland said. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported in May that STP already had 18 songs written and that producer Don Was would be working on the LP. After that "long tour," Weiland told Spinner he'd also get to work on his next solo album, the follow-up to 2008's "Happy" in Galoshes.
The reunited band wrapped up their tour of the U.S. on October 25th and will next head to Canada for a trek that concludes November 24th in Nova Scotia. After that, two more shows are on the schedule, including a New Year's Day show in Thackerville, Oklahoma, and then it's studio time for Weiland and STP. Check out the band's remaining tour dates:
Stone Temple Pilots
Nov. 7 - Victoria, BC @ Save on Foods Memorial Centre
Nov. 9 - Kelowna, BC @ Prospera Place
Nov. 11 - Edmonton, AB @ Shaw Conference Centre
Nov. 14 - Regina, SK @ Brandy Centre
Nov. 15 - Winnipeg, MB @ MTS Centre
Nov. 19 - London, ON @ Labatt Centre
Nov. 21 - Kingston, ON @ K-Rock Centre
Nov. 23 - Moncton, NB @ Moncton Coliseum
Nov. 24 - Halifax, NS @ Halifax Metro Centre
Dec. 29 - Biloxi, MS @ Hard Rock Live
Jan. 1 - Thackerville, OK @ WinStar Casino

AUTO RACING; Patrick Hopes a Fresh Start Will Lead to a Better Finish
By DAVE CALDWELL
Published: March 8, 2007
Even the dashboard inside Danica Patrick's Indy car looks different.
Patrick will open the 17-race IndyCar Series season March 24, driving a car with a different number, 7 (from 16), and a different sponsor, Motorola. She will be driving her first race for Andretti Green Racing, one of the most formidable teams in the series.
People will find her quickly enough. Two years ago, five races into her career, Patrick became the first woman to lead the Indianapolis 500. She came within 10 laps of winning the race and became a sensation for a sport that had been eclipsed by Nascar.
Patrick has still not won a race.
After two full seasons and 30 races with the team co-owned by the former Indy 500 winner Bobby Rahal and the late-night talk-show host David Letterman, Patrick, who will turn 25 on March 25, moved to the team co-owned by Michael Andretti.
It was a significant upgrade. She admitted the expectations for her to win will be even higher than they were the last two seasons.
''When the season comes together with a good car, a good engine, a good team, good everything -- good me -- then the success will come,'' Patrick said yesterday in a teleconference. ''But there are just so many moving parts in racing.''
Given a car with a strong engine two years ago, Patrick did well despite having virtually no experience. So expectations went up. Her team struggled last season, and Patrick finished ninth in the standings.
Her best finish in 14 races was fourth, and a 19-year-old rookie named Marco Andretti, Michael's son, swiped most of the attention for nearly winning the Indy 500. Marco Andretti won a race at Sonoma, Calif., and finished seventh in the standings.
Patrick said of leaving Rahal Letterman Racing: ''It really just came from a standpoint of wanting to have a team around that wanted to win as badly as I did, that was going to put the effort in, leave nothing to the imagination for the season with a really first-class operation.''
Marco Andretti is one of Patrick's new teammates. Michael Andretti, 44, made headlines Feb. 13 when he said he was planning to return to race at the Indy 500 after finishing behind only Sam Hornish Jr. and Marco Andretti last year.
This season shapes up as enormously pivotal for Patrick. She is driving better cars for a better team, but the season could become another disappointment, particularly if her streak without a victory continues.
''We both should be better, and we both have pressure to do well,'' Patrick said. ''We have to always be on our game because as the races go on, everybody is waiting that much more and looking forward to the success. There's pressure on both of us, but, yes, it has escalated.''
She said she still has a lot to learn, especially on road courses. In many ways, she said she is not at all like the rookie who stole the show at Indianapolis two years ago. She has been married for 15 months, and she has become a businesswoman.
''I never thought I'd say, 'I wonder where the Dow ended up today?' '' Patrick said. ''So my life has definitely evolved, but it's O.K. It's just different. It's not better or worse; it's just different.''

Some community board members in Williamsburg want officials to start enforcing a city law banning outdoor cafes from opening sidewalk dining to patrons before noon on Sundays.
Tom Burrows, chairman of Brooklyn Community Board 1's Public Safety Committee, told The New York Post the sidewalks should be kept open for people walking to church or anywhere else on Sunday mornings, as well as to keep loafers from hogging the space.
Outdoor brunch is a favorite pasttime in Williamsburg, especially during the summer, and restaurant owners aren't too keen on the idea of cutting back their hours.
Gino Kutluca, owner of Lokal Bistro, which Burrows accused of being among the worst sidewalk offenders, said he'll fight to keep his outdoor tables open early. His restaurant serves weekend brunch from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Burrows also accused Five Leaves of taking up too much sidewalk space. Camilo Fuentealba, a host at the restaurant, also bristled at the suggestion of enforcing the obscure ordinance.
"What happened to 'excuse me' if the sidewalk's blocked?" Fuentealba told the Post. "I'm not in favor of them taking the benches out. It's nice that people are able to sit on the sidewalk and drink a coffee. It's community-friendly."
The city Department of Consumer Affairs told the Post it would oblige the community board and check out the cafes that host sidewalk patrons before noon on Sundays.
Those eateries could face fines and possibly lose their sidewalk permits if officials find them to be in violation of the law, the Post reported.

What To Do at L.A.'s Ocean
Our Private Tour Visits the Beaches of Southern California
Summer is just about here and the weather is fine and clear all along the Southern California coastline including right here in Los Angeles. Just ahead is the Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial beginning of summer when the beach crowds, growing already, will explode. We have extraordinary beaches from Malibu to Playa del Rey and beyond. In fact, there are grand beaches all the way to San Diego. On our private Los Angeles tour we love to get our guests not only out of the car to see the beach front properties but right to the shoreline for some walking in wet Pacific Ocean sand. From here we can admire the swimmers and surfers. Some beaches will also have windsurfers skittering across the water out beyond the waves. Parasailing is also a popular activity on some of our beaches along the Santa Monica Bay. It seems that every year brings new toys to the beach so we are eager to see what inventions will come along this summer. A very popular sightseeing stop for our custom tour guests is Venice Beach with its boardwalk, skate park, sidewalk cafés and shops and all kinds of arts and information stands. Oh, and entertainment running the gamut from musicians to jugglers, magicians to psychics, comedians to opera singers. Eat, drink and be merry!

How to Persuade on Facebook, Twitter and Get Pinterest Fans and Followers
Business owners know by now that creating social media accounts is beneficial for product marketing, thought leadership campaigns, and online marketing in general. If managed right, it can also increase conversions and revenue.
Due to the open and casual environment of social media sites, plus the network vines between and across accounts allow people to view activity of others including those who are not their contacts, a business may easily and quickly accumulate likes, retweets, fans, and contacts. The challenge now is transforming these fans and contacts into actual paying customers.
The following are some ways for gaining conversions out of your social media accounts:
Be upfront about your business.
Honesty goes a long way in social media marketing. Let people know right away about your business and the things you sell. This makes it easier to post advertisements and reduces the risk of them being viewed as spam. Being upfront about your business also makes you a thought leader among social media contacts who live within the vicinity of your geographic location. Speaking of which, check out the next item in this list.
Become a thought leader.
This is what every business hopes to be. Being a thought leader means being the business or brand that people think of first when they speak or think about a niche or a related product/service. Like when you think of sneakers, you immediately think of Converse or Vans. The advantages of being a thought leader are considerable, the least of which is having consumers hunting for your brand, not you pimping your business to consumers.
It takes a lot of work to be a thought leader, but it can happen though, as long as you have the diligence and patience to do the following, and then some:
- Focus on being known about one thing at a time (could be a flagship product or service). When you become popular about one thing, you can easily be known for a second, third or fourth thing.
- Go where your target market is. Join groups whose core interests are a perfect fit for your business.
- Have a simple, attractive, and impressionable logo and slogan.
- Prove your authority as a thought leader. If you sell products, they must be of excellent quality. If you offer skills and services, you must be able to satisfy your clients.
- Ramp up your social media marketing strategy.
Welcome and acknowledge positive reviews on your Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest accounts.
This accomplishes two things for you: one, it lets other people know that your business is good at what it does or sells quality products. Two, it is another form of advertisement, one you didn't have to pay for, and from a third-party source to boot. Consumers are always more trusting of reviews from earlier clients/customers.
- If the reviews are written as wall posts, tweets, or comments, always reply and say thank you. If possible, make it a sincere and personalized note of thanks based on their review.
- If your business gets mentioned in a magazine or newspaper, post the link if there is an online version of the news. If it's in print, take a picture or scan it, and post on your wall along with an expression of gratitude.
Be humble amidst the praises though. Don't rub it too much in your contacts' faces that you got a glowing review. If you come off sounding arrogant, you'll annoy people and discourage them from learning to trust your business.
Make your merchandise/service available for reservations on your social media accounts.
What makes Facebook and Pinterest so ideal for small businesses is they can set up store right on their fanpage or pinboards. Sellers can simply post pictures of the items for sale and state the price. Interested customers can browse through the merchandise even without visiting your establishment. Convenience is always a good incentive for social media fans and customers to become paying customers.
This comes with a risk though. Bogus buyers and joy bidders (people who reserve for items but fail to claim or pay for them on the agreed date) are everywhere. They affect sales because they steal the purchase opportunity from sincere buyers. The latter will end up looking for other sellers instead, costing you the sale. Set up a couple of roadblocks so that joy bidders won't bother wasting your time. You can try the following:
- Prepare an order form containing fields for name, contact information, and address. Require interested buyers to fill them out first before ordering an item.
- Implement a 24-hour or 48-hour reservation rule. If the item hasn't been claimed yet from your store, or if the buyer hasn't wired the payment yet, you waive the right to make the item available for other buyers.
- Make it a rule not to deliver items to online buyers if you haven't received full payment yet.
Advertise promos and product launches days before they start.
The point is to excite your fans and followers, and make them anticipate the big day. Make them feel like this is something they should not miss. When they are already warmed up and primed for the idea of bagging excellent deals, they'll be off to your store or business establishment on the day your promo starts. Sales may be higher if you do this instead of warming up customers only on the day the promo begins.
Post teaser pictures of what items or services will be on sale. You can make countdown posters with the number of days left before the promo or launch.
You can hold contests on Facebook and Twitter, and the prizes will be discount coupons that they can use for the launch. Think of opening-day raffle contests that are popular among cafes, diners, pizza and ice cream parlors, etc…
Use your social media accounts to narrow down the conversion funnel.
If you have an official website where all commercial transactions will take place, use your Facebook and Twitter accounts to funnel fans towards the final steps that will make them paying customers.
- Asking people to like and share your posts is high up the conversion funnel. Asking them to click on a link to your website would be a step nearer to your goal.
- Generate leads out of your posts. For instance, ask people in Facebook to like an app that will ask for their permission to share their email addresses with you. Of course, giving an incentive at the end (ex: a Rafflecopter entry, exclusive peek at a new product) will motivate them to agree.
Besides these strategies, it will also take marketing clout, charm, and the ability to be pleasantly social while maintaining a level of professionalism while interacting with people to succeed in making customers out of social media fans and followers.

Strategic Natural Resources - A Really Compelling Investment!
Ishareinfo.tv recently carried out a series of interviews with Strategic Natural Resources (Epic: SNRP.L) who are the majority shareholder (74%) in the Elitheni mine (www.elitheni.co.za) in the Eastern Cape in South Africa. These interviews were with recently appointed Deputy Chairman, Don Nicolson (http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=11254736) and SNR's CEO, David Nel.
Don Nicolson has nearly 30 years' experience in the energy sector, 26 of those with BP where he ran large scale oil businesses for BP in Canada, Alaska, Houston Texas and also in the North Sea. In the latter years he worked in corporate roles and was chief of staff to Tony Hayward. He then became CEO at Scottish Resources Group, the UK's largest open cast mining group.
Don talks about having run production businesses before which is the stage Strategic is now at and that in working with Strategic he see's big upside potential. Don also tells us how very impressed he is with the company quoting 'a great resource base of 266 million tonnes on just 6% of the mining area, great routes to market, two ports waiting for new business and how important Strategic is to the Eastern Cape of South Africa'
The Eastern Cape is the second largest province in South Africa and also the second poorest, but the Elitheni project is one of the top three projects in the Eastern Cape according to government officials. The company is very fortunate to have very strong provincial and national government support.
Furthermore, Don goes on to explain how undervalued the company is in share price terms based on the size of resources, being weeks away from revenue and the huge upside potential in their prospecting and mining right's, as well as the potential for a power plant at the mine in the coming years. He tells us that the company has a potential one billion tonnes of coal to mine and that his role will primarily be focused in the city of London with institutional investors and private client brokers as well as private investors to sell the SNR story.
In summary, Don believes that SNR is a really compelling investment
David Nel, CEO openly discusses the broker reports that have been released on the company this year by Allenby Capital (www.allenbycapital.com) with inclusions from Edison Research and also SP Angel www.spangel.co.uk) and takes the time to discuss the business in great detail.
The company has mining rights on its phases 1 & 2 and prospecting rights on its phases 3, 4 and 5. However, due to the nature of drilling that has taken place, Strategic will not need to apply for new mining rights on phases 3 and 4, but simply expand their mining rights via an amendment on phases 1 and 2 saving both time and money.
Phase 5 is a significant area requiring a drilling programme and then moving to a pre-feasibility study, hopefully to be completed in 2013 which will then allow the company to consider its options on this vast area of 120,000 hectares. These options could include developing the area with partners.
The company is well funded and funding requirements have been reduced substantially from £25-£30 million down to £18 - £20 million. The company has also saved another £5 million in capital requirements by leasing containers from Thelo Rolling Stock Leasing (PTY) Limited rather than purchasing them. (http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=11369888) The company is also currently in receipt of term sheets for longer term debt finance which requires reserves status on their coal deposits to be able to move these finance opportunities forward. A reserves statement via RNS is due soon (http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=11374323)
SP Angel's report of the 10th September 2012 ascribed a valuation of 76p a share (http://www.spangelcf.co.uk/media/pdf/SNRP%20Research%20Final%2010%20September%202012.pdf) and this valuation is pre reserves status. Currently the share price as at 20/11/2012 is 23.75p
David goes on to talk about developing an entire coal industry and an entire energy complex with the vast area of phase 5 to add to the first 4 phases through exports and the erection of a power plant at the mine
Rail improvements anticipated in 2013 will see increased capacity in sales which it is hoped will be ramped up in 2014. SNR is aware that companies, possibly majors are watching what the company is doing and he recognises that SNR is currently significantly undervalued. There is great demand for Elitheni's coal and it is the only coal mine in South Africa, with dedicated port and rail services. David goes on to explain that the company is not averse to being 'courted', but it wants the timing to be correct and to see full value achieved.
David talks about the political climate in South Africa and his close working relationship with some very politically connected people and politicians. He discusses his confidence in the government and SNR having a unique political advantage. There is 98% unemployment in the area and recently 4,000 people applied for 50 positions with the company. Whilst not immune to the political climate, he feels it does offer protection to SNR and the Elitheni mine.
Finally, David talks about the forward profitability of the business with an Anthracite coal product in addition to Thermal coal, the 'middling's' product that is produced once the Anthracite is washed so that it can be sold as Thermal coal, but without any associated production costs and then finally the discard that is subsequently left which will be stockpiled and used in the anticipated power plant. The net result of this for SNR is that from the mine coal produced, there is little or no waste which offers the potential for a very, very profitable business.

There is a Peaceful Grandeur to the Plains of Africa
Private Family Safari Review
Julie G.
Short Family Safari
There is a peaceful grandeur to the plains of Africa, which impressed me possibly even more than I expected. Here are hundreds of thousands of animals, living together in relative harmony until one eats another, doing just what they want. I watched long lines of zebras today walking calmly across the miles because it was time to go get something to drink, saw all the animals walking or standing or sitting just as they pleased, and I realized that their freedom is truly a wonderful thing.
We were deeply impressed by the several solitary elephants we saw, looming enormously over the other animals. We just saw so many things. Should be another day full of amazement. Now I'm trying to sleep, listening to the utter silence punctuated only by the sounds of the nocturnal wildlife of Africa.
We stopped at a Masai village, 40 or 50 Masai wearing their beautiful colorful wraps. They performed a song and dance of welcome with the astonishingly beautiful and moving African singing harmony, and a lot of jumping and dancing. Soon they drew several of us in to join the dance, and I found myself hand in hand with Masai ladies, wearing one of their large, flat, beaded collars, dancing and jumping and learning how to move my shoulders to make the collar bounce. It was just incredible, and so moving I felt a little weepy.

Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein on Tuesday dropped charges against social activist Daphni Leef on and nine others who took part in the social protests of summer 2012.
Leef, who was one of the leaders of the 2011 social protest movement that swept Israel, had been accused of resisting arrest in a June 2012 protest. Weinstein further said he is leaning toward issuing a stay of proceedings in charges against four other defendants.
Responding to the decision, Leef told Ynet she was in good sprits: "This is a happy moment. I'm glad I didn't give in the pressure over the last year and three months, and I have no doubt that this decision wouldn't have come about without the public pressure.
Leef drew a connection between the decision to drop the charges against her and Tuesday's conviction of former prime minister Ehud Olmert on graft charges.
"I find it symbolic that this occurred a day after the Holyland ruling, as these are two opposite stories that deal with integrity."
She further slammed the police in regards to the incident: "I hope that the police feel greatly embarrassed about their conduct and their lack of ability to get off their high horse without outside help. It's important for me to tell the young people of the country to not be afraid to stand up for themselves."
Related stories:
- Protest leader Leef indicted for disrupting order
- Indictments against social justice activists dismissed
- Social protest's white mask
Explaining the decision to drop the charges against the ten activists, including Leef, the attorney general claimed that the acts attributed to the suspects were of a relatively minor severity.
He further explained that the accused did not have previous convictions and no other relevant indictments had ever been made against them.
In addition, there were evidential difficulties surrounding some of the cases, which bode in favor of the move.
Regarding four other cases, in which the acts attributed to the defendants were of moderate severity, and the defendants also did not have previous convictions, the attorney general said that the prosecution was willing to positively consider granting the defendants' request for a stay of proceedings.
A Justice Department statement said proceedings are still pending against some 20 additional defendants who are either charged with offenses of grave severity, or face other charges.
Attorney Gaby Lasky, who represents Leef, said: "The attorney general did the right thing in dropping the lawsuit, but it's a shame that he backed up the decision to file the indictment in the first place.
"In practice, filing indictments against Daphni and her friends constitutes a violation of the principles of democracy."
Aviel Magnezi and Gilad Morag contributed to this report.

OK... Despite the bonus track 'Hell Bent for Leather' and possibly the opener 'Exciter' and 'Diamonds and Rust', there aren't that many all time classics on this live album, however when you listen to it you simply cannot deny that you are listening to the greatest live album ever recorded, and possibly one of the greatest albums in general.
I highly advise you pick up a copy of this album, however I STRONGLY suggest the remastered edition for it contains 4 bonus tracks, one being the evergreen 'Hell Bent for Leather'.
We kick things off with the only Stained Class track to make the cut, the thrash gem 'Exciter' which wipes the floor with the studio version, as do all the songs on this album. From then on in you are treated to pure heavy fucking metal until the very end. This album (not counting the remastered version) also features 4 tracks from Sad Wings of Destiny, 2 Sin After Sin, 2 from Killing Machine and with none from Rocka Rolla and this makes for a VERY solid tracklist.
Notable tracks include: An extended version of 'Sinner', the vocally complex 'The Ripper' (which Halford performs brilliantly), a great version of the Fleetwood Mac song 'The Green Manalishi (with the Two-Pronged Crown)', the classic 'Diamonds and Rust' which is sped up a decent amount and the epic 'Victom of Changes'. To be honest every song on here is amazing which is why this stands as one of the greatest albums of all time.
When it's all said and done, odds are you'll be flicking all the way back to 'Exciter' to be taken on the ride of your life once again.
As for the actual quality of the album, well what can I say? It's perfect, nothing is drowned out by the singing or the other instruments and unless they add a whole new part to the song (which happens quite a bit) the songs are performed note for note perfectly. The only real production complaint I have here is you can't hear the crowd much at all (similar problem with Motorhead's legendary live album No Sleep 'til Hammersmith), but at least that means the actual music doesn't get drowned out.
Really the whole album is virtually perfect, and even after almost 30 years it still stands up as one of the greatest albums ever... the only complaint is Beyond the Realms of Death was performed at the show, but not used on this album(even in the remaster).

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Global Birthing Home Foundation, Leawood, KS, USA
What a great way for to help some of the most needy in the world, babies and their mothers by starting Maison de Naissance. My friend, Betsy Wickstrom MD an OB in Kansas decided to help mothers and babies by starting a midwife program and birthing center in Haiti. What a wonderful way to help those in need by starting a life giving program where there was not medical assistance nearby. She goes several times a year to Haiti to support this program. If all doctors were so caring and shared their knowledge with others in need our world be a better place.

According to WFAA-TV's Rebecca Lopez, a potential juror in Dallas with a Cowboys jacket admitted he couldn't be unbiased about the upcoming trial for former Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent.

He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if convicted.

A nearly two decade manhunt for an alleged child molester is over.
Atlantic County Sheriff Frank Balles announced Wednesday that after 19 years on the run, Alejandro Arguedas-Aranda was arrested in Spain.
Arguedas-Aranda, 64, went on the lam after an arrest warrant was issued for him in 1994. At that time, police charged Arguedas-Aranda, who lived in Atlantic City at the time, with sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, child endangerment and child abuse stemming from alleged contact with a 6-year-old girl.
When officers tried to arrest Arguedas-Aranda he was nowhere to be found.
This past March, authorities received a tip that the fugitive was living in Spain. Monday's arrest came after a seven-month investigation involving the sheriff's office, U.S. Marshals and Spanish authorities.
Authorities said Arguedas-Aranda would be kept in custody as they worked to have him extradited back to the United States.

• The Diamondbacks released catcher Rod Barajas, a move that makes Wil Nieves the backup to starter Miguel Montero. Barajas, 37, on Arizona's 2001 World Series championship team, was a non-roster invitee to the D-backs this spring.
• Edinson Volquez is set to start on opening day for the San Diego Padres, manager Bud Black said. The Padres open next Monday in New York against the Mets. This will be the third straight year that Volquez has started an opener.He was 11-11 with a 4.14 ERA last year for the Padres.
• Scott Kazmir's comeback has swerved into Cleveland's rotation. Kazmir, a two-time All-Star with Tampa Bay who hasn't pitched in the majors in almost two years, was chosen as the Indians' No. 5 starter by manager Terry Francona. He'll follow Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez, Brett Myers and Zach McAllister in the rotation.
• Daisuke Matsuzaka was released by Cleveland but is expected to re-sign with the Indians and begin the season with their top farm team. The Indians told Dice K last week that he would not make their opening-day roster, and they had until today to let him go before the Japanese pitcher would have been owed a $100,000 payment under the collective bargaining agreement.
• Jesus Montero hit a grand slam, Michael Saunders homered among his three hits and Seattle hammered Homer Bailey in a 16-0 rout of Cincinnati on Monday. Saunders connected off Bailey, and Montero's slam came off Wilken De La Rosa for the Mariners.
• Texas Rangers pitcher Derek Holland had a two-out RBI single in the second inning of a 3-1 loss to San Diego - his first hit as a pro, albeit in an exhibition game.
Grapefruit League
• Rookie Shelby Miller, 22, pitched into the fifth inning, then found out he'd won the fifth spot in the St. Louis rotation as the Cardinals beat Minnesota 4-3. Miller gave up one run and six hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out two and walked two. Joe Kelly, who also wanted the No. 5 slot, will make the roster as a long reliever.
• The Mets' Matt den Dekker announced on Twitter that he will not need surgery after he broke his wrist diving for a fly ball Sunday afternoon. "Best possible news no surgery just gotta wear this thing (a cast) for a month," he tweeted.
• Dillon Gee tossed six scoreless innings during the New York Mets' 7-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Monday afternoon. He allowed just two hits over those six innings, striking out seven and walking none.
• Baltimore designated hitter Wilson Betemit suffered a sprained ligament in his right knee in the fifth inning of Monday's game with Boston. Betemit, 31, who was the Orioles' regular third baseman until the recall of Manny Machado last August, was on first base and running on the pitch when Machado flied to left. He collapsed near second base and was carted off the field. The team says he will be re-evaluated today.
• Toronto third baseman Brett Lawrie will start the regular season on the disabled list with a strained rib. He felt discomfort in his left side in an exhibition with Canada's World Baseball Classic team against the Cincinnati Reds on March 6.
• Virgil "Fire" Trucks, who threw two no-hitters for the Detroit Tigers in an otherwise dreadful 1952 season and was the last visiting pitcher to toss a complete-game no-hitter at Yankee Stadium, has died. He was 95. The two-time All-Star died Saturday near Birmingham, Ala. He pitched in the major leagues from 1941-58, helping the Tigers beat the Chicago Cubs in the 1945 World Series.

It wasn't long ago that we spent an entire day obsessing over every last ounce of this stunning Chicago soiree, so it pretty much goes without saying that we were ECSTATIC to spend even more time wrapped up in this wonderful affair. Yep, thanks to the geniuses at I Do Films, we're devoting our Friday to all things modern, all things stylish and all things fabulous. And with 4 minutes and 23 seconds of contemporary goodness jumping from our computer screens, it just doesn't get much better than that. Enjoy!
From Lori of I Do Films... Gabrielle and Nick started dating in high school, but actually first met on the playground just outside each of their Chicago residences. After spending a number of years in San Francisco together, they came back to Chicago, to live and marry in the city that had first brought them together many years earlier. Appropriately, they had their first look overlooking the Chicago skyline. They were married in a beautiful ceremony at the Art Institute of Chicago. From their days on the playground, to the high school prom, and finally to their wedding ceremony, you get a sense that Nick and Gabby have always had a fun and playful relationship.

I agree AJ has gotten worse as a whole, but I would say it's gotten better in terms of maturity standards. People are more polite here now than a few years back, and that's largely due to the deflation of drama, but it is also accredited to the fact that more people stick around than new players join, so the same people who used to have tard egos are less egotistic now. That being said, it's SIGNIFICANTLY less active than it used to be and far less interesting to read (for better or for worse). I completely disagree that moderators don't care anymore because that insinuates that they used to care in the first place. For the most part, I think the moderation has become better in recent years than before, and it's more strict like it should be.
