Vikings - Series 1.05 - "Raid" - Recap/Review (Spoilers)
Posted by Trina Rego at April 01, 2013 5 Comments
Welcome back to another week of Vikings! This week's episode not only brings us another Raid, albeit of a different kind than we've seen on the show, but I think it delivers once of the finest hours of the season so far, even though it primarily serves as set up for the next episode. Episode 5 starts to bring the many aspects of the show together in a cohesive narrative, including the rivalry between the Earl and Ragnar, the rivalry between Rollo and Ragnar, and even the rivalry between the Norse Gods and the Christian Gods.
Last week ended with Ragnar preparing for something and in this episode we find out what that something is, albeit not till the very end. Our episode opens with the Earl, bestowing his blessing upon the newborns of the village and we can clearly see he's troubled by something but we don't get to find out what as we cut away to Athelstan and Ragnar doing some male bonding/fishing. Which is actually the ultimate male bonding activity.
Athelstan wants to know if he is still Ragnar's slave and Ragnar thinks it really doesn't matter much. Athelstan thinks differently and points out that in the Viking's world slaves aren't actually treated all that well, and wants to make sure no ones going to beat him to death because that is technically legal. Tough life. Ragnar points out that Athelstan has never tried to escape, and Athelstan admits that he has less and less of a desire to do so. I think we can see this one of two ways; first, even if Athelstan did try to escape, he would have nowhere to go. He can't very well get back to England and he would most likely be unable to support himself in this Viking society. Or, Athelstan has adapted very fast to his new situation. I like to think it's a combination of both, I think he genuinely does care for Ragnar and his family but I also think there is a sense of survival in him, and he knows this is his best option.
It turns out the Earl is planning a raid of his own this week, on Ragnar's farm. The Earl has obviously grown tired of Ragnar's games and takes matters into his own hands using his men to lead an attack on the Lothbrok homestead. Ragnar is out hunting as the attack starts but soon hears the screaming and rushes back to the farm to find Lagertha and Athelstan waiting for him with the children. He orders them to escape through and underground tunnel and goes to face the Earl. We get some great fight sequences here and Fimmel just shines. I honestly couldn't take my eyes off the screen as Ragnar made his way through the Earl's men like they were flies.
Ragnar is wounded by an arrow and all around looking in pretty bad shape as he meets the Earl and it seems this will be the end of our hero as he says he accepts his fate and is ready to meet his God. But it turns out Ragnar has another trick up his sleeve as he commandeers a horse and gallops away to a ledge on the river, where Lagertha and family wait below. Ragnar jumps, and Athelstan saves him from the water but Ragnar is looking like he needs some serious medical attention, pronto.
Who better to administer such medical attention than resident quirky shipbuilder, Floki? I'm no doctor so I can't say exactly what is happening in this scene but Floki is working to save Ragnar's life and everyone else is praying, including Athelstan who prays to his Christian God to spare this man's life. Very interesting since Ragnar gave no thought to sparing the life of Athelstan's brothers.
Back at the Earl's place, we find out that the Earl is having a visit from a Swedish friend who he intends to marry his daughter to (sorry Rollo) only he forgot to inform his wife and daughter about this. Personally I like to know who I'm marrying before I meet them but I guess that's just how Haraldson rolls. Siggy is not very happy about this arranged marriage but the Earl tells her that their daughter will be lucky to have the protection of this rich Earl from Sweden. It's clear that Siggy isn't going to get much of say anyways.
The Earl doesn't believe Ragnar is really dead and has men out searching for him. One of Ragnar's men, Torstein, comes to the cabin in the woods to find Ragnar and his family and inform them that the Earl is trying to hunt him down. We learn Ragnar is healing from his wounds but not fast enough for his liking, and Lagertha feels ashamed that they are eating all of Floki's food.
Later that night Ragnar wonders to Torstein why the Gods spared him, he thinks it's for a purpose, but he cannot do anything until he heals properly. Obviously, Ragnar is planning something, we saw that in the last episode, but we're still not sure what. We also learn that the Earl has taken the boat. Oh no, don't tell Floki, he will be crushed.
We check in with Rollo who decides to crash Thyri's wedding (I mean it could have been his!) and the Earl is none too happy to see him. The Earl thinks that Rollo will lead them to Ragnar but Rollo insists that Ragnar must be dead because he has heard nothing from him, and you know, he would have called or something if he was alive. Right? I'm not sure your relationship was doing all that well Rollo. Either way, Rollo seems a bit nonpulsed by his brother's apparent death, and he begs the Earl to trust him because he was born to raid and fight and that's what he wants to do.
At Floki's cabin in the woods (can't decide if this a summer camp I would want to stay at, I go back and forth) everyone sits around the fire, teaching Athelstan about the Norse gods. We learn about the Vikings concept of afterlife, and how the earth was created. Athelstan is equal parts intrigued and horrified by their explanations, judging from the look on his face. When they ask him how he thinks the Earth was made he seems unable to answer.
We find out that Rollo and the Earl's wife Siggy have apparently been sleeping together! That one kind of came out of left field, but interesting. Rollo, just find a nice girl that's NOT married to someone else, will you? Siggy has come to warn Rollo to leave because the Earl is not happy with him. Turns out Siggy was right, as the Earl captures him and tortures him to try and find Ragnar's whereabouts. The sad part is, I'm pretty sure Rollo doesn't actually know for sure if Ragnar is alive or dead.
Torstein comes back to Floki's to inform Ragnar that Rollo had been captured and tortured by the Earl, information he learned from Siggy. I hope we get to see more of this new (and improved) multi layered Siggy, because it brings so much more depth to the character. Ragnar decides that torturing his brother is the last straw and makes plans to challenge the Earl to one on one combat.
What Worked?
- There were a lot of elements of tonight's episode that really played together, and I would consider this a very strong episode especially in terms of set up and story telling.
- Interesting to note that when Ragnar's farm is being attacked, Athelstan rushes to save his book. I may worry a little too much that he is adapting a bit fast to his new family (although I think this is in part survival instinct) so I'm glad to see that he still sees value in this.
- The introduction of Maude Hirst to the cast, who plays Floki's "companion" is lovely and provides some nice comic relief moments as Torstein develops a tiny crush on her.
- Once again the relationship between Rollo and Ragnar is explored this week and it continues to intrigue me. If Rollo does know that Ragnar is alive and hanging out at Floki's than is makes his torture all the more noble, because he is not betraying his brother and telling the Earl. And even if he doesn't know, it still adds an interesting element to their relationship in the fact that Rollo doesn't seem too upset about his brother's death.
- Ragnar's epic fight through Haraldson's men to get to his family was lets just face it, pretty awesome.
- More religion talk this week, which I always enjoy, and I love when the show points out not only the differences between Athelstan's God and Norse gods, but the similarities as well.
What Didn't Work?
- I think the biggest issue for me this week, was the Rollo and Siggy relationship. Not that I don't like the relationship itself, and it gives depth to both Siggy and Rollo but it seemed kind of thrown in there and out of nowhere. Especially when we've been made to believe that Rollo has the hots for Lagertha. That's not to say he can't be into two gals, I just wish this hadn't felt so forced. Hopefully they develop this in the coming weeks.
That's it for this week, and this is also the last screener I had access to, so you can expect next week's review a little bit later than usual, as I will be watching it while it airs! What did you guys think of this week's episode? Are you anxious for next week? Who do you think will win in open combat? And what's next for whoever does? Will Rollo and Siggy get to run off together? Chime in below!

Trying to make a move with just two weeks left
Well Week 11 of the Grid Picks went down as one of our worst of the 2012 season as the local teams who we paid tribute to for their outstanding 10 week trek through the regular schedule didn't fair out too well.
Only Pleasant Valley remains alive among the regular teams so we're getting down to the nitty gritty with just one week left after this.
Brad Hurley, on the other hand, made a big move losing just two games and passed a group of us into second place, and deserves a tip of the cap.
So without further adieu, here's how this corner sees what's going to happen when the games kick off tonight to start the weekend:
PLEASANT VALLEY AT PARKLAND - The Bears have had an outstanding year and despite not winning the MVC title, got revenge on Stroudsburg last week. The Trojans are playing their best ball of the season though...PARKLAND, 35-21.
DELAWARE VALLEY AT SCRANTON - A rematch of an earlier season contest where Del Val blew a lead and lost. This one will be close again...Scranton, 27-26.
SOUTHERN LEHIGH AT CENTRAL CATHOLIC - A nice run comes to an end here for the Spartans...Central Catholic, 24-7.
PEN ARGYL AT CATASAUQUA - The Green Knights had their "armor" shining last week by eliminating Tamaqua. This week, it's...Catasauqua, 35-18.
TRI-VALLEY AT WILLIAMS VALLEY - Their regular season matchup went to overtime. This one might too...Williams VALLEY, 24-21.
NAZARETH AT WYOMING VALLEY WEST - WVW bat an LVC team in Emmaus last week with a late TD. Not this week...Nazareth, 28-27.
SCRANTON PREP AT MUHLENBERG - Berks County team finds out what Northeastern PA football is all about...Scranton Prep, 21-14.
CARBONDALE AT NORTH SCHUYLKILL - Looks like the Spartans want to end the season with a blast after last week's big win...North Schuylkill, 31-13.
ABINGTON HEIGHTS AT BERWICK - Never picked against a George Curry team before, and still won't...Berwick, 21-18.
MILTON AT SELINSGROVE - Looks like the Seals are tough to beat...Selinsgrove, 21-7.
LAKELAND AT WYOMING AREA - I'll just flip the coin here since this looks like a tossup...Wyoming Area, 14-7.
ATHENS AT DANVILLE - Can't pick a team from Athens since I thought they only played soccer in Greece...Danville, 28-20.
MOUNT CARMEL AT MONTOURSVILLE - Taking a game with the Red Tornadoes...Mount Carmel, 21-18.
DUNMORE AT OLD FORGE - The Bucks have plenty of experience as a playoff team...Dunmore, 18-14.
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT AT SOUTHERN COLUMBIA - The tradition continues for Jim Roth's Tigers as they always seem to get that extra boost when it's playoff time...Southern Columbia, 28-12.

UConn has its new strength and conditioning coach for men's basketball, and the move seems to target a specific need – developing bigger, stronger frontcourt players.
Carlos Daniel, named Tuesday, was an accomplished power forward himself, at Washington State in the late 1990s.
"The experience that Carlos brings to our program in weight training and development at so many basketball levels is immeasurable," coach Kevin Ollie said. "His success throughout his career demonstrates how well he relates to the players he mentors. I'm excited to have him as a member of our UConn staff."
Daniel, 41, replaces Travis Illian, who was hired by Ollie in 2013. Over...

During the holidays, many of us may get wrapped up in all the festivities with family and friends that make the season special.
However, it is important not to forget the brave men and women who are unable to celebrate the holiday season at home with their loved ones.
Nearly 370,000 American troops will be serving our country abroad during this holiday season. There are many ways you and your family can show your support for these troops and make sure they receive some holiday cheer from home.
The Panthers and Lady Panthers were let loose Tuesday night for the Black and Gold scrimmage, and everyone went home winners.
"This was a fun night for Lady Panther and Panther basketball," Lady Panther head coach Randy Mefford said. This is a night when we get to showcase what our kids can do and friends and family can come and get a preview of the season.
Police are still looking for one of 68 individuals indicted last month on charges of drug trafficking in a five-county undercover operation.
Officials say Chad Easton of Carrollton remains at-large. Easton's last-known address is 806 Sycamore Street, Carrollton, according to Kentucky State Police records. Easton was indicted on one count of second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance.
Aided by parents, friends and family, Marie VanDiver works tirelessly all year to provide a selection of quality, low-cost items for students at Christian Academy of Carrollton to buy as Christmas gifts.
As a result, VanDiver and company had a huge assortment of the family – even the family dog.
VanDiver said she and her helpers work during the year to make many of the items sold, and buy other items during after-Christmas sales.
Whitney Ballinger is flying high with the Campbellsville University Lady Tigers, since being named the Mid-South Conference Women's Basketball player of the week.
The 2006 graduate of Carroll County High School and former Lady Panther received the honor last week after averaging 15.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and three assists in three Campbellsville wins last week, according to the university's Web site.
Ballinger spent the holiday weekend at home in Carrollton with her parents, Gerald and Elaine.
To the editor,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Billie Jo Jones. I was hired in August 2001 as Trimble County Family Court Deputy Clerk by June Ginn, Trimble County Circuit Clerk of 19 years.
In January 2007 June Ginn retired and Theresa Edwards was the newly elected Trimble County Circuit Clerk. After working only one day for the newly elected Circuit Clerk Theresa Edwards January 4, 2007 she made seven allegations against me.
It's been an elusive goal for Jim Ebert, but on Friday, Nov. 28, he and another team of hikers successfully took Skylar Cannon to the bottom of the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
Skylar, 13, a former student at Cartmell Elementary School in Carrollton, was born with spinal muscular atrophy – a terminal disease that has left her without the use of her arms or legs. She and her family now live in Shelbyville, Ky.

This is the season for family, for gathering at home, for laughter and joy. At least that is what the Hallmark commercials tell us.
What the TV movies and holiday blockbusters leave out are the darker elements of these gatherings; the quiet sadness, the struggle against tradition, the memories of dreams deferred and the anger that evinces, and most importantly, the enduring love and strength that holds families together no matter the differences.
From a technical standpoint, Kentucky's judicial branch is the same age as its executive and legislative branches, all were officially formed when our Constitution was adopted in 1891.
But, the judiciary as we know it is only little more than three decades old. Voters created it in 1975 when they eliminated an often-confusing variety of courts and replaced them with the orderly system we have today.

The Associated Press reports:
"A majority of economists in the latest Associated Press Economy Survey expect the national unemployment rate to stay above 6 percent — the upper bounds of what's considered healthy — for at least four more years. If the economists are correct, the job market will still be unhealthy seven years after the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009. That would be the longest stretch of high unemployment since the end of World War II.
The election isn't going to be a miracle cure for the unemployment rate — that's for sure," says Sean Snaith, an economics professor at the University of Central Florida. He thinks unemployment, which is 8.2 percent now, won't drop back to 6 percent until after 2016.
Economists consider a "normal" level to be between 5 percent and 6 percent.
The economists surveyed by the AP foresee an unemployment rate of 8 percent on Election Day. That would be the highest rate any postwar president running for re-election has faced."

A Moscow court ordered three members of a feminist punk rock group to spend at least another month in jail yesterday, even though formal charges against them have not been brought.
Members of Pussy Riot, which played at anti-Government rallies earlier this year, were arrested in February after a protest performance in Moscow's Christ the Saviour Cathedral.
Tagansky district court ordered Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, the band's leader, and two others, to be detained until July 24, accepting the argument of Artyom Ranchenkov, the investigator, that they had so offended society that their safety could not be guaranteed if they were allowed out pending trial.
Tolokonnikova told reporters: "We are not enemies of the Christian faith. The fact that we performed a punk prayer doesn't mean we…

TEMECULA -- Two days earlier, Ariel Hernandez simply got caught on the mat.
The Temecula Valley senior goofed on a pin combo, Temescal Canyon's Chris Thatcher seized the advantage and flexed his muscles after finishing off a second-period pin and Hernandez put his fist into a wall at the Temecula Valley gym.
On Saturday, Hernandez found a more constructive outlet for his frustration, scoring an early takedown of Thatcher in a rematch en route to a 5-1 decision in the 215-pound championship bout at the Southwestern League Individual Finals at Great Oak High School.
"I had one more shot to beat him," Hernandez said of avenging Thatcher's pin in 3:55 in a dual meet Thursday. "I wanted to go out with a bang my senior year. I put my mind to it and I beat him."
Hernandez's turnaround win highlighted 11 Temecula Valleychampions at the meet, the last stop before the individual seasonkicks into gear at the CIF Southern Section Southern Divisiontournament at Chaparral High School from Feb. 20-21.
The Golden Bears' Eli Macias (103), Jake Damon (112) and Dylan Marshall (145) recorded falls in the championship round, while Dylan Barrales (119), Marco DeCaro (140) and Patrick Martinez (160) tallied major decisions. Mack Chambers (125), Chris Hart (152), Mark Blanchard (171) and Marcus Ortega (185) all out-pointed their opponents in the final round en route to their league titles.
"It was a great performance," Temecula Valley co-coach Arnold Alpert said. "Going into the finals, I was thinking eight, maybe nine (champions). To come out with 11, that was great. We beat a lot of people who had beaten us, (and) came back in matches we were losing.
"From where we were Thursday night to where we wrestled today was a big difference."
On Thursday, Temecula Valley won a 41-25 decision over Temescal Canyon in one of the more closely contested duals during the Golden Bears' 21-year stretch as league champions, and in that dual, Temecula Valley lost six matches.
On Saturday, the Golden Bears lost three -- all day.
Damon and Chambers rebounded from injuries and illnesses that kept them out of Thursday's dual with league titles and Anthony Neblina was back in the shuffle, finishing in second place after Temescal Canyon's Allen Chu (130) recorded a 17-2 technical fall in the final round. Temecula Valley, in all, will send 13 individuals -- Eric Green (135) broke a rib on Thursday and could be done for the year -- into a postseason run that included eight Golden Bears earning state tournament berths a year ago.
It's too early to tell how many are flirting with that stage from this team. Alpert, though, likes the momentum his team has at the moment.
"Every team is different," Alpert said. "I think this team is starting to come on at the right time. The (team) duals (next week in Los Alamitos) will be another indicator of where we're at."
Joining Chu as non-Temecula Valley champions, Temescal Canyon's Scott Crepeau (135) bested Vista Murrieta's Alex Barkley, 8-5, and Murrieta Valley's Russell Csonka outlasted the Golden Bears' Colin Rabbia (285) for a 2-1, ultimate-tiebreaker win in overtime -- his third straight victory over Temecula Valley's heavyweight grappler this season.
With the top three placers moving on, Murrieta Valley is sending nine wrestlers onto the individual postseason and Temescal Canyon is sending eight, including junior Ryan Collins, who lost his second bloody bout with Ortega this week, a 3-1decision in the final round that followed up Ortega's 13-7 win Thursday.
"I knew he was a decent kid," said Ortega, one of Temecula Valley's five repeat champions (Barrales, Chambers, DeCaro and Martinez). "I just wanted to go out there and try my hardest. It was for the league title."
Great Oak, Chaparral and Vista Murrieta all qualified four wrestlers for the individual postseason.

Lipstick that Stays
It's officially fall and nothing says autumn like luscious lips. Now that you've found the right shade of red, it's time to talk about flawless application.
1. First condition your lips to remove any dead or flakey skin. If you don't have a conditioner, try creating a DIY exfoliating scrub with olive oil, sugar, and honey. This do it yourself mixture is easy, cheap, and leaves you with soft and silky lips!
2. To keep your lipstick from bleeding use a lip liner the same color as your lipstick to trace the outline of your lips. For an even longer lasting stay fill in your lips completely with the liner to give your lipstick something to hold onto throughout the day.
3. You can apply your lipstick straight from the tube but for even better coverage use a small lip brush to fill in all the creases.
4. To finish it off touch up the outside of your lips with a concealer for a smooth, even line.
5. Last but not least, after you're done applying your lipstick put your index finger in your mouth, close your lips around it, and pull it out. This will remove any excess lipstick on the inside of your lips that would have ended up on your teeth.
Now go out--or stay in--but whatever you do you'll have long-lasting, luscious lip color.
Retro Reds
When I was a teenager I thought lipstick was for older women—women my grandmother's age who went to bed with rollers in their hair and wore overpowering musky perfume. But like everything else these days, old is the new young; and nothing is as timeless or vintage as a set of beautiful red lips. Whether [...]

text: Human Rights Observatory Former NY Congressman Draws Prison Sentence for Tax Evasion A former U.S. congressman from New York was sentenced Friday to eight months in prison for tax evasion. Michael Grimm, a Republican who represented the New York City borough of Staten Island, pleaded guilty last year of filing a false tax return. A Brooklyn court judge said Grimm's "moral compass" needed adjustment. Prosecutors had sought at least two years behind bars, while defense lawyers called on the judge not to impose prison time, saying Grimm's crime was an...Read complete article© Voice of America - Friday, July 17, 2015

What Did You Learn In 2012?
Seth J. Masters, Chief Investment Officer of AllianceBernstein's Bernstein Global Wealth Management, reflects on the year that was. His opinions are his own.
This year, investors worried about the future of the euro, the US fiscal cliff and the emerging-market slowdown…yet stocks still climbed higher. What lessons should we learn from 2012? We'd suggest four key takeaways.
1. Investors can get trampled in crowds
Many pundits proclaimed this year that "equities are dead," and that investors should look to other asset classes. Many investors took this advice and liquidated almost $80 billion of equity funds (net) in the first three quarters of 2012. Following the crowd by dumping equities proved unwise. The S&P 500 has returned about 14% in so far 2012, and equities are still alive and well. It's natural for investors to be jittery in volatile markets, but joining the crowd will not necessarily take you in the right direction.
2. If it walks like a bubble and talks like a bubble, it probably is a bubble
Investors were caught off guard when the tech bubble collapsed in 2000. In 2012, was a new bubble—in supposedly safe assets—created? Let's look at the facts: Despite 10-year US Treasury yields below 2%—their lowest level since 1791—investors seeking safety funneled some $240 billion into US-domiciled bond funds in the first three quarters of 2012. They also snapped up high-dividend-yielding stocks, driving their relative valuations 50% above their historical norms. This willingness to pay a premium for safety certainly walks and talks like a bubble. Do investors want to stick around in 2013 to find out if it is one?
3. Traditional tax advice was turned on its head
When it came to tax planning in 2012, the traditional rules did not apply for US investors. Normally, it makes sense to delay capital gains for as long as possible and to harvest long-term losses to offset long-term gains. But with an almost inevitable rise in the capital gains tax next year, US investors may fare better by holding onto their losses and harvesting gains instead. Now is one of those rare times when it might make more sense for them to pay taxes sooner rather than later.
4. Passive management is not risk-free
Passive management has been in favor the past few years. From 2008 through 2012, US-domiciled passive equity funds had inflows of more than $200 billion, while active equity funds had outflows of about $450 billion.
But by piling into passive portfolios, investors may have unwittingly taken on undue concentration risk. Here's why: When the market becomes overly enthusiastic about a particular market segment, that segment's weight in the market index can become very large. That's what happened to tech stocks in 1999: They rose to over 29% of the S&P 500. Investors in passive strategies later suffered sizable losses as the tech sector shed 56% of its value.
Today, investors could be in the same boat. The S&P 500 is dominated by high-dividend-paying stocks. The 20% of stocks with the highest dividend yields made up 44% of the index at their peak a few months ago. That's the highest weight since 1970 and far above their 35% average weight since then. Meanwhile, deep-value stocks (the 20% of the S&P 500 with the lowest price-to-book-value ratios) have fallen to just 25% of the index, close to their low point and well below their 31% average since 1970. Investors who buy into the S&P 500 today will own more stocks that are trading at a premium relative to their history and many fewer that are cheap. It certainly looks like a passive strategy could carry a lot of risk.

Wai! Within the span of one month, we have heard of two suicide cases in Thimphu itself. No one knows how many such cases escape media attention in the remoter places. Now, if increasing number of young people take their own lives in a country that professes happiness as its supreme pursuit, something is not quite right.
Even without the aid of figures, we can say that the frequency at which our younger generation takes their own lives is increasing. Almost always, we know almost nothing about the events that lead to such a tragic end. People begin formulating their own speculations.
And surprisingly, we have done almost nothing to curb our youth's tendency to commit suicide. Teachers and parents say that they never expected the child they knew would be capable of going to that extent. It is about time we started treating suicides more seriously. One way is to deploy trained counsellors in schools and colleges and classes on problem-solving must be held regularly so that the students learn to deal with their problems with least harm to anyone.
It is a common knowledge that the schools and colleges provide only career counselling in most cases. There is a need to broaden the focus to include problem counselling. What use is it after all to have a lecture on landing the right job if the youth lack the mental strength to go that far?
Something must be really done to curb the menace of suicides. The effort must come from schools and parents both. If more young people commit suicide for reasons that were known only to themselves, would it not be an antithesis to our very vision of GNH?

For Direct Deposit: If you currently keep funds for your
payroll taxes separate from funds you use for your paychecks, you need to
consolidate the accounts. The payroll service can withdraw funds from only one
bank account.
Once you have consolidated the accounts at your financial institution, you
need to combine the
accounts in QuickBooks.
If you don't plan to use Direct Deposit, you can write checks out of one

Well friends, I have tried to ignore it, but for the past few days my IT band has been very angry at me.
I am not 100% sure what sparked this anger since I haven't been running, but I think my muscles have weakened in my hips with my "break" in my training, leading to the aggravation.
So, this is what I have been doing…following my own advice and partaking in some IT Band Stretches. I have been stretching, foam rolling, and massaging (and praying!) the pain away. So far…it's still there. It's not bad, and honestly it doesn't even hurt while I'm running, just after. I know I spoke of my Dumbo training plans the other day, but I think I may put them off another week.
It's frustrating, I have been doing so well on the injury front being so careful NOT to overuse my body, that it didn't even occur to me that on the OTHER end of the spectrum (letting my muscles get weak) could be just as harmful. You live you learn right?
The rest of this week I will be cross training and doing LOTS of yoga and stretching. There is no excuse for me to not get in a good calorie burn because I am taking it easy on the run. This girl is staying motivated, whatever it takes!
QOTD: Ever have IT band woes? What about another injury? How do you still get in your burn?

Not many people can say they owe their lives to a near speeding ticket.
But 86-year-old Gavin Falconer can. He was pulled over Saturday by a police officer in Kennebunk, Maine. But shortly after handing over his license and registration, Falconer suffered an apparent heart attack and slumped over without a pulse.
Police say Officer Matthew Harrington quickly transitioned from writing out a warning for the speeding infraction to administering CPR. A second officer then arrived with a defibrillator.
Falconer was brought to a hospital and is recovering. He tells WMTW-TV that he hopes to see the officer again and thank him.
Harrington says the incident is proof there is no such thing as a "routine" traffic stop.

Legal Question in Business Law in India
my uncle have shop of hardware in Mumbai . he have brought delux colour machine on agreement from the co. officer who visited the shop and told that they just pay the installment and after last installment the machine will be yours.my uncle also sign the lease agreement given by the company.
now the sale of the product is poor and therefore not taking any stock from the company therefore salesman and officer of the company are insisting o take stock of rs.50000 otherwise we will take action against you and t also we also took the machine from shop.
there is no clause in agreement that the shop keeper should buy a specific amount of stock in year . uncle also paid each and every installment if company on time. but after this situation uncle ask how you can claim the machine i have paid all the installment and i m ready to pay further. the co officer replied machine is not yours the agreement made beetween you and co is of lease agreement. now what action shold be taken by the uncle ti save the machine from comapny officer.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Dear Madam,
You should refer to the terms and conditions of the lease Agreement with the Company. The very fact that your uncle is ready to pay the remaining installments on the first sample machine implies that the product is in demand and has a market. Since your uncle is in business, he will stock one sample machine in his hardware shop and book purchase orders from walk-in customers for that machine taking part advance payment. The total value of orders booked by your uncle on that machine and forwarded to the Company for supply may be to the tune of Rs. 50,000/- which the Company may be asking you to purchase and stock. If your uncle is keen to promote the Company's business, he should buy out the first sample machine by payment of the remaining installments in one go, and continue business relations with the Company on an ongoing basis.

Serie A: Mutu's hot streak continues for Fiorentina
MILAN, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Romania striker Adrian Mutu sent Fiorentina back up to fourth with a stunning second-half strike which secured a 2-1 home win over Catania in Serie A on Sunday.
Serbian Zdravko Kuzmanovic headed the hosts in front before Catania equalised through Juan Manuel Vargas, only for Mutu to conjure up his 14th goal of the league campaign when he chested down the ball, burst forward and shot from 25 metres.
The Florence side move three points ahead of AC Milan, who had temporarily gone up to fourth on Saturday following a 0-0 draw at Parma.
Udinese are two behind Milan in sixth after Italy's Antonio Di Natale scored twice in a 3-1 win at second-to-bottom Reggina.
Seventh-placed Sampdoria are two points further back after forward Antonio Cassano again pressed his case for an Italy recall with a superb display in a 1-0 win over Genoa in the city derby.
His expert cross set up Christian Maggio for the 87th-minute winner after Genoa's Danilo had been dismissed.
Leaders Inter Milan went 11 points clear on Saturday after they beat Livorno 2-0 and second-placed AS Roma lost 1-0 at Juventus in third.
The top teams played a day earlier because of midweek Champions League commitments, putting some of Serie A's other clubs in the spotlight on Sunday.

BOUCKVILLE, N.Y. – The Madison-Bouckville Antique Week—the largest antiques and collectibles show in New York state and often been compared to the tri-annual colossus in Brimfield, Mass.—will be celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and features some seven large fields filled with some 2,000-plus dealers and vendors and is expected to draw 45,000 people during its Aug. 15-21 run.
Similar to Brimfield, many shows are combined into one week-long mega-event at Madison-Bouckville, a town located in central New York state, not far from Syracuse and Utica and right on State Route 20. Featured will be quality antiques and collectibles from centuries past, displayed for sale by the many dealers and vendors offering them. There will also be a wide array of excellent food vendors and plenty of parking at several show fields. Some of the show fields and vendors will be open for business as early as Monday, Aug. 15. All fields will be open by Thursday, Aug. 18.
Many year-round antiques shops and co-ops will be open daily during the show. Folks familiar with Bouckville will know the town is home to around 20 antiques and collectibles shops, most of them dotting State Route 20. But that wasn't the case 40 years ago, when it was mainly a sleepy farming community. All that changed, thanks to the vision of Jock Hengst.
"We owe a large debt of gratitude to Mr. Hengst, who launched the Madison-Bouckville Antique Show as one field on a strip of airport property and grew it into what is today," said John Mancino, president of Madison-Bouckville Promotions, formed just last year to actively promote the show. "Jock recently made the decision to retire, but his legacy lives on.
"Madison-Bouckville Antique Week has, for many years, been a travel and business destination for thousands of vendors, customers and tourists from around the globe," Mancino added. "We formed Madison-Bouckville Promotions in December as a not-for-profit, to revitalize and promote the economic, trade and cultural experiences of Madison-Bouckville Antique Week."
Mancino also said the board was formed to address "the current state of the recession, changing markets and concern for our local economy and tax revenues." He said the overall goal was to "promote and organize a week-long event, as a unified group represented by local government, restaurant owners, the lodging sector, antiques shops and show field owners."
This year's event is officially titled "Nice n Easy Madison-Bouckville Antique Week." The title sponsor is Nice n Easy Grocery Shoppes, a chain of about 80 convenience stores based in Madison County. "It was important for us to be underwritten by a locally based firm with a strong presence, and John MacDougall (Nice n Easy's owner) filled that bill," Mancino said.
Bouckville, N.Y., is the seat of Madison County, an area filled with quaint villages, country inns, bed and breakfasts and, of course, antique shops. It retains its rural charm and still is home to many farms (and farmers' markets). And for people who equate August with intense heat, have no fear: Bouckville is pleasant and mild in the summer—what promoters call "perfect weather for a show."
For more information about this event, visit the Nice n Easy Madison-Bouckville Antique Week website, call 315.427.5094 or e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tips for Caring for the Elderly and the Cold
Tips on Elderly and the Cold
Health Safety Tips
· Communicate with the health professional responsible for caring for the senior members of your family to gain an accurate picture of their health and learn vital details such as the dates of upcoming influenza shots. Many seniors with blood pressure issues score higher readings during cold weather. This rise leads to a higher risk for stroke. Arrange for frequent blood pressure checks, or self-monitoring, if you family member is vulnerable. Jim Miller, editor of the Savvy Senior column informs us, "a common problem among the elderly is broken hips, which happen more frequently in winter due wet and slippery conditions." To help prevent falls, install hand support bars in areas of high risk, such as steps in front of outside doors and bathrooms. Encourage seniors to stay home in freezing weather conditions and during the hours of darkness.
Home Safety Tips
· Electricity, heating, lighting and food deliveries are all part of the support system seniors need to be comfortable and safe during the cold months. If you are out of town for a day or longer, arrange for regular checks on the health and well being of a senior living alone. Ask neighbors and other family members to check on seniors during the winter months. Jim Miller, editor of the Savvy Senior column, tells us, "People age 65 and older are three times more likely to die or be injured in a home fire as those younger." Before the winter sets in, service any heating devices and consider changing over to a safer power source if household appliances are fueled by kerosene or wood. The reduced ventilation in winterized homes, combined with faulty appliances, leads to the build-up of carbon monoxide gas. Install a fire extinguisher and teach your family member how to use it. Replace the batteries in carbon monoxide and smoke detectors and provide spares within easy reach.
Auto Safety Tips
· Caregivers for seniors who use their own vehicles to visit the doctor and shop for food must ensure this vital asset remains available to them in the cold weather. Jim Miller, editor of the Savvy Senior column, advises that vehicles should be serviced and winterized so they're ready for winter driving and winter road conditions. Include items like checks on tire tread and air pressure, examination of radiator anti-freeze levels, inspection of all hoses and belts, an oil change, a windshield-wiper inspection and fluid top-up and a battery test. Useful additions to a senior's vehicle include blankets, a spare, charged mobile phone battery, a flashlight and batteries, water and non-perishable food bars.

Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo - Crimson Glory Vine (50ml Bottled Ink) is rated out of 5 by 60.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Colored Fingers from Beautiful and Unique Color I initially bought this back in Nov 2013 and it's been in daily use ever since then. I've used a half bottle already and it still amazes me every time I use it. I use it in my TWSBI mini with a fine nib on all sorts of quality (low or otherwise) at work and its flow and quick drying characteristic with minimal to no bleed through or feathering is superb and consistent. Its properties is true for almost all the Iroshizuku inks but this color is just "wow". I had to buy a new pen so I can use the other inks in my collection because this one is in permanent rotation...yes, it's that good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nancy Baldwin from Rich fuchsia, smooth as silk. This color caught my eye on the Goulet website, even though I was not looking for a fuchsia ink. I ordered a sample, and did a quick toothpick test. Liked the rich color, but thought, "but it's pink". So I put it aside. Finally put it in my Vanishing Point with a custom stub, and wrote a letter with it. Unbelievably smooth. This is a good nib, but I've never had it write so smoothly. The finished letter, on Clairefontaine white paper was beautiful. It did not look pink, but a much richer, deeper fuchsia. I will be purchasing this. Gorgeous bottle, too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sara S. from I love this ink. I had a sample of this ink that I made last forever and I finally took the plunge last week and ordered a bottle to go along with a twsbi 1.1 nib. I had used the ink previously with a medium nib and loved the color but using it with the stub nib makes me really appreciate the quality and beauty of this amazing ink. it's truly worth every penny of the price in my opinion. the color is absolutely gorgeous and dries amazingly fast and the shading is so so pretty. as always the customer service was great. thank you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ben from What a sissy color I ordered this sample after seeing a hand written note from Drew at Goulet. It is a kind of pinkish purple and while I am afraid that men in the locker room will beat me up for using it, I just can't help myself. It is so smooth, perfectly saturated and an addicting color. If I continue using it I might just buy a pink dress shirt to wear to work as well. On a serious note BUY IT. This ink is now on my most favorite list.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Clive from Crimson Glorious Yes this ink is super expensive but it is a great ink. The ink is quite dark and almost has a bluish hue to it upon drying which gives the ink a more sober, serious feel that one wants when writing every day (as opposed to novelty or fancy writing tasks). It does dry super fast , so smudging is not an issue. It is unusual, elegant and pleasing to use. Highly recommended.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DrDebG from Such a variable ink color! This is a lovely shade of dark rose to burgundy, but shades nicely to even an medium pink. As with all of the Pilot inks I have tried (7 to date), it writes very smoothly. Yama-budo does seem a bit "wetter" than other P.I. inks and does not give as much nib feedback as I get from my other Pilot inks. This dries moderately quickly (about 8 seconds). This is not a water resistant ink, but does leave a pink shadow behind when subjected to water. It does have a nice sheen in an ink drop. Most of my pens are very receptive to this ink, and does not bleed through or feather on most better papers - the exception being cheap notebook paper which has some bleed through and definate ghosting on the back. Overall a very nice, but expensive, ink.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Rich colour, amazing behaviour This ink is amazing, I bought this as a gift to my sister and she loves it. The colour is very beautiful, its a deep rich purple-red-pink which really pops when you put it down on some paper. The behaviour is very good as well, flows supreme, dries quickly and no feathering that I could notice. All in all an amazing ink as usual from the Iroshizuku line.

Sledgehammer's now-canceled third-person Call of Duty offered 'a fresh take on war'
Before helping finish Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and moving on to this year's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, developer Sledgehammer Games was first tasked by Activision to create a third-person off-shoot of the Call of Duty series. The spin-off arose from concerns that the Call of Duty franchise had been suffering from gamer fatigue.
"We had spent six or eight months on it, and were really getting into the story," Sledgehammer co-founder Glen Schofield told Game Informer in this month's cover story. The now-canceled game was set in one specific area during the Vietnam War.
"Everyone thought that war was in Vietnam, right?" Schofield explained. "It was in Cambodia and Laos, too. We did a lot of research on that war, a hidden war, and there were thousands of miles of underground tunnels."
"We had the tunnels, and we were definitely going for some Dead Space moments," he revealed. "It was gonna be a fresh take on war, that's for sure."
Unfortunately, only 15 minutes of the game were fully playable over half a year into the project when it was scrapped. But the decision had nothing to do with the quality; rather, Activision was so impressed with the demo that they approached Sledgehammer to work on Modern Warfare 3.
Following MW3's release, Activision offered Sledgehammer a spot in the series' rotation of development. Though there was some initial hesitation in canceling the third-person project, the studio eventually came together and decided to work on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. In doing so, it means we are now missing out on what Schofield calls "some really cool mechanics," along with a "big moment" that he says he would "love to get into a game someday." Unfortunately, it's a moment that Schofield says "is not something we could do in first-person."
It's pretty intriguing that Activision actually entertained the idea of a third-person spin-off, and though it doesn't look like this game will ever see the light of release, it's nice knowing that even Activision is aware of the fatigue that's setting in on the yearly release of Call of Duty. The question is will the fatigue ever get bad enough to warrant the release of a spin-off?

Anti-Walmart activists say they want Athens-Clarke officials to change the zoning on a tract near downtown Athens to stop a big-box retailer from coming in.
A meeting Monday night on an Athens-Clarke Planning Department study of future growth on Oak and Oconee streets turned into a discussion of how to stop an Atlanta developer from including Walmart in a proposed mixed-use development just east of downtown.
That development is spurring new interest in the future of the neighborhood. About 200 people attended the meeting at Oconee Street Methodist Church, mostly drawn by the Walmart controversy. Few people showed any interest in October, when the corridor study, ordered by county commissioners in 2008 in anticipation of future growth, was released.
Suggestions included changing the former Armstrong & Dobbs property's permissive commercial-downtown zoning to the more restrictive commercial-neighborhood, limiting stores to 30,000 square feet. Selig Enterprises' proposal includes a 95,000-square-foot anchor, along with 15 to 20 smaller stores and restaurants, more than 200 apartments and two parking decks.
"As a small business owner, I would like to have a 30,000-square-foot cap on big boxes downtown," Airee Hong said. "Downtown is all about small, local businesses."
Activists promoted the meeting as being about Walmart, but senior planner Bruce Lonnee told the audience several times that he couldn't talk specifically about the Selig development because the company hasn't submitted any plans for review.
"As many questions and concerns as you might have about the property, we don't really have an opportunity to enter into a dialogue yet," Lonnee said.
In general, though, a mixed-use development is what residents and officials have said they want at that site, he said.
"The rules were designed to encourage the type of development we're starting to see," he said.
The study recommends downzoning Oconee Street from the river to the Athens Perimeter because lots are too shallow to accommodate big developments. West of the river, it recommends keeping the high-density downtown zoning, put into place in 2000.
Mayor Nancy Denson said she isn't interested in revisiting the tract's zoning.
"I don't think we should ever go back and change the rules after the fact," Denson said. "I believe in private property rights."
The study also lays out ideas to attract small businesses that will serve the surrounding neighborhood, improve pedestrian and bicycle access, relieve traffic congestion and connect the neighborhood to amenities like Dudley Park.
The commission could vote to accept the study as early as February, then implement the recommendations one-by-one over several years.
"We're making a shopping list," Lonnee said.

Workers' Elevates Petersen to CEO
Douglas J. Petersen, who became the interim CEO of the $800 million Workers' Credit Union of Fitchburg, Mass. in December following the sudden departure of its veteran head, Frederick D. Healey, has been promoted to the permanent CEO slot.
Healey is the current chairman of the Credit Union Executives Society, a position he was elected to last November.
Petersen, before being named interim president/CEO of Workers', was executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer for the 67,000-member CU. Under the switch, Petersen will continue as chief financial officer and treasurer for the short term.
The reasons for Healey's exit have not been made public. Petersen told Credit Union Times the CU maintains a policy not to comment on private matters involving employees.
Healey had been Workers' CEO since 1995. He is a former senior vice president of New Bedford Institution for Savings from 1993 to 1995 and previously was an executive of South Shore Bank in Boston from 1988 to 1993.
The president/CEO of CUES, Fred Johnson, said no changes are anticipated in the elected leadership of the Madison-based trade group since "Fred is a member in good standing." He was elected for a one-year term.
Regarding Petersen, Marina Raher, chairman of Workers', said, "Doug's contributions during his tenure were responsible for delivering outstanding results, which has made Workers' Credit Union one of the strongest financial institutions in the state," adding, "his appointment will ensure the credit union's continued success."
Petersen joined the credit union in 1995 as treasurer and chief financial officer after 11 years in financial services, including an executive stint at St. Mary's CU in New Hampshire. He holds a bachelor's degree in accounting and a master's degree in finance from Bentley University in addition to graduating from the Stonier Graduate School of Banking.
Petersen also serves as president of the CUSO Workers' Financial Services LLC and serves on the board of directors of four CUSOs. In addition, he holds his NASD Securities Series 7 and 66 licenses.
"Doug is well-respected among his peers and has played an important role in the success of Workers' Credit Union," said a statement issued by Dan Egan, president of the Massachusetts Credit Union League. Workers' Credit Union, founded in 1914, has 14 offices.
Petersen said his CU "had a pretty good year" in 2010, earning $7 million and achieving a10% growth rate.

[13th September 1958]
Dear diary, today I saw Mr Ged Gorman, a dead carpenter who lived in Basingstoke. He said, they wanted to move his grave, and he wanted me to do something about it.
I've been seeing dead people for a few weeks now, and I don't know what to make of it. I'm only eight! Well, eight and a half.
I've not told me mum and dad I'm seeing dead people, cos they might laugh like me mate Billy did. He said I should go on stage and talk to dead people, cos that'd be really funny. I told him I didn't want to be his friend no more, cos I'm going to be a footballer and play for Liverpool! Even if my granddad said I was going to end up playing for Wrexham - what does he know, he's dead too.

Newspapers: I read the tabloids to find gossip and silly stories for my radio show. I get the Star, the Mirror and the Sun most days. At the weekend I might get the Telegraph.
Magazines: I buy most of the men's magazines. I always get FHM, Loaded and Arena.
Books: I've got about 10 books on the go at the moment. I'm always starting a book, putting it down and picking up another one. I'm enjoying Love All The People, the Bill Hicks book; CAD: Confessions of a Toxic Bachelor by Rick Marin; and Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre. For the past year I've been really into Charles Bukowski - I actually finish his books.
TV: I'm the archetypal channel surfer. I watch bits of everything. I love the shopping channels - they're great if you can't sleep. My favourite show is Most Haunted on Living TV. Derek Acorah, the show's medium, is a genius. I'm a massive fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm on BBC 4.
Radio: Late at night I like TalkSport. I'm a big fan of the James Whale show. He introduced me to Derek Acorah from Most Haunted because he used to have him on the show. Five Live is also good late at night.
Ads: I was a Twiglet in an ad a few years ago. It was a great gig, but as a result of that I was no longer able to advertise any other savoury snack. I cancelled myself out. I was in the Ski Yoghurt ads last year: that was me leaping over the back of the sofa saying, "I love yoghurt." The John Smith's ads were absolutely brilliant, but I've had a gutful of the Fosters decapitation ads. The first one was all right, but there's just something wrong about them really.
New media: I am so behind the times. We got our first computer at home a few months ago, but it crashed and we haven't been able to get it back since.
· Justin Lee Collins resumes his Saturday afternoon show on Xfm on July 10.

Playlist (11 talks): The global power shift
18:29Now playingPaddy Ashdown believes we are living in a moment in history where power is changing in ways it never has before. In a spellbinding talk he outlines the three major global shifts that he sees coming.
14:04Now playingIt seems the more we know about how democracy works — through government transparency, better media coverage, even new insights about our brains — the less we trust democracy itself. Yet it's still, arguably, the best system of government available. As Ivan Krastev says, "What went right is also what went wrong." Can democracy survive?
16:23Now playingThe developed world holds up the ideals of capitalism, democracy and political rights for all. Those in emerging markets often don't have that luxury. In this powerful talk, economist Dambisa Moyo makes the case that the west can't afford to rest on its laurels and imagine others will blindly follow. Instead, a different model, embodied by China, is increasingly appealing. A call for open-minded political and economic cooperation in the name of transforming the world.
21:30Now playingSpeaking at a TED Salon in London, Martin Jacques asks: How do we in the West make sense of China and its phenomenal rise? The author of "When China Rules the World," he examines why the West often puzzles over the growing power of the Chinese economy, and offers three building blocks for understanding what China is and will become.
18:51Now playingMichael Anti (aka Jing Zhao) has been blogging from China for 12 years. Despite the control the central government has over the Internet — "All the servers are in Beijing" — he says that hundreds of millions of microbloggers are in fact creating the first national public sphere in the country's history, and shifting the balance of power in unexpected ways.
17:15Now playingFar too many Americans are illiterate in power — what it is, how it operates and why some people have it. As a result, those few who do understand power wield disproportionate influence over everyone else. "We need to make civics sexy again," says civics educator Eric Liu. "As sexy as it was during the American Revolution or the Civil Rights Movement."
17:50Now playingGhanaian economist George Ayittey unleashes a torrent of controlled anger toward corrupt leaders in Africa — and calls on the "Cheetah generation" to take back the continent.
9:51Now playingWael Ghonim is the Google executive who helped jumpstart Egypt's democratic revolution ... with a Facebook page memorializing a victim of the regime's violence. Speaking at TEDxCairo, he tells the inside story of the past two months, when everyday Egyptians showed that "the power of the people is stronger than the people in power."
17:10Now playingCan the interests of an individual nation be reconciled with humanity's greater good? Can a patriotic, nationally elected politician really give people in other countries equal consideration? Following his TEDTalk calling for a global ethic, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown fields questions from TED Curator Chris Anderson.
23:09Now playingWould you negotiate with someone you knew to be evil, to save lives? Samantha Power tells a story of a complicated hero, Sergio Vieira de Mello. This UN diplomat walked a thin moral line, negotiating with the world's worst dictators to help their people survive crisis. It's a compelling story told with a fiery passion.
17:53Now playingIndia is fast becoming a superpower, says Shashi Tharoor — not just through trade and politics, but through "soft" power, its ability to share its culture with the world through food, music, technology, Bollywood. He argues that in the long run it's not the size of the army that matters as much as a country's ability to influence the world's hearts and minds.

That's the one, thanks for searching it out. You can make a bunch of replacement mirrors for Kalart rangefinders out of one of these with any care. Its cut with a carbide tip scriber, they are cheap and available at Home Depot or any Tru-Value hardware store. The original mirror is in a frame and appears to be fastened with some sort of heavy lacquer, perhaps even a wax compound. In any case it responds to solvents or mild heat. No need to break it out as one old-timer suggests in his article on repairing rangefinders. You can use shellac or airplane glue to fasten in the new one. I don't know why the reflecting surface on some Kalart mirrors fades. It seems very old ones and newer ones don't have the problem but many middle aged Kalarts do. The hardest thing is to make sure the reflective coating is facing the eyepiece. If the mirror is turned around it will change all the settings.

SHOPPERS are being warned to stay vigilant following a string of purse thefts from Morrisons in Barry.
Neighbourhood Beat Manager PC Nicola Owen said: "We have seen a number of purse thefts from handbags recently and we believe opportunist thieves are walking around supermarkets and trying their luck on handbags left in trollies unattended.
"I would urge shoppers to be mindful of where your purse is. Do not leave your bag unattended and zips open. By leaving your purse on display you are significantly increasing the chances of you becoming a victim of crime.
"Officers have stepped up patrols in the store and surrounding areas in order to prevent and detect further offences."

Scott Hassett obviously not running focus groups
Just watched Democratic candidate for Wisconsin attorney general Scott Hassett on Upfront with Mike Gousha. He attacked JB Van Hollen for his lawsuit against the GAB for not updating the voter registration list. Hassett also attacked Van Hollen for wanting to join lawsuits against the national health care plan and in support of Arizona's illegal alien law.
I realize Hassett has to run on something since he can't run on experience as a prosecutor (he has none), but running on these issues will get Hassett a few votes in Madison and Milwaukee and not much else.
By the way, is Hassett able to practice law in Wisconsin, yet?

Closer Watch – A closer look at intriguing ninth-inning situations (check out Dave Regan's Closer Grid with the link to the left).
Chicago Cubs – The suddenly shaky Carlos Marmol gave up three runs Tuesday against Washington, but picked up his 23rd save anyway because he entered the game with the bases loaded in the eighth inning. Marmol has allowed three runs in two of his last three outings, thanks to walking the world recently (6 BB in 3.1 innings over his past three games). His job isn't in danger, but the situation bears watching.
Chicago White Sox – Bobby Jenks earned his 24th save with a clean ninth against the Orioles on Tuesday, while the rest of the bullpen did its best to guarantee that Jenks will hold the role for the rest of the year. Now Matt Thornton and J.J. Putz are on the DL, while Sergio Santos surrendered three runs without recording an out in Tuesday's game.
Houston – Wilton Lopez gave up a game-tying homer to Jimmy Rollins in the ninth inning Tuesday, the first run he'd allowed since July 18. If you're hard up for saves, he's presumably still the guy in Houston.
Pittsburgh – Evan Meek took his turn in the closer's chair Tuesday, collecting his second save of the year despite allowing a run on four hits. Joel Hanrahan bailed out starter Paul Maholm in the seventh and pitched the eighth as well to earn the win. Hanrahan should still own the role, but it's possible this will be matchup-based for the rest of the year.
Key Matchups - Spotlight on hitters and pitchers with favorable matchups against their opponent on a particular day (generally, individual matchups with fewer than 10 at-bats are not included). *Check Status
Ryan Theriot v. Yovani Gallardo – 4-for-10 (.400), 0 HR, 1 RBI, 3:2 BB:K, .538 OBP
Gerardo Parra v. Kevin Correia – 7-for-19 (.368), 0 HR, 2 RBI, 1:1 BB:K, .400 OBP

Nick Markakis v. Edwin Jackson – 6-for-15 (.400), 0 HR, 3 RBI, 0:4 BB:K, .400 OBP
Chris Carpenter v. Nationals – If not for Ivan Rodriguez, the Nationals wouldn't have a hitter with more than four hits against Carpenter. Even with Pudge's .357, the Nats have a miserable combined line of .189/.241/.330 against Carpenter, with a 7:23 BB:K. Washington has already seen Carpenter this year, and he held them to two runs (one earned) over eight innings. Now, the encore.
Stephen Drew v. Kevin Correia – 8-for-41 (.195), 0 HR, 2 RBI, 1:5 BB:K, .214 OBP

Recommended Pickup
Ryan Raburn, OF, DET – Raburn, a fantasy bum for almost the entire season, has seen the light go on in August. Over his past 22 games, he's compiled a .321/.376/.628 line, with six homers, 16 RBI and even a steal. For the first time this year, he's settled into regular playing time, and he's produced impressively. Remember, Raburn hit .291 with 16 homers as a part-time player last year, so the skill is there. He's eligible at second base as well, which only adds to his value.
