Dietary protein, health and mortality – experts respond
John Kerr posted in atkins • diet • food • nutrition • protein on March 5th, 2014.
Two separate studies published in the journal Cell Metabolism each suggest that low protein intake may play a key role health and longevity, at least until old age. However, independent experts feel the health claims from the authors maybe overstated. The first study suggests that consuming moderate to high levels of animal protein prompts a […]

SCHACHT WINS 2ND ARCA POLE OF SEASON IN FOOD WORLD 500K QUALIFYING TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Veteran Bob Schacht of Chapin, S.C., bested 13 ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Supercar Series drivers who topped 190 mph in qualifying for Saturday's Food World 500k...
TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Veteran Bob Schacht of Chapin, S.C., bested 13 ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Supercar Series drivers who topped 190 mph in qualifying for Saturday's Food World 500k and won the Talladega Pole Award on Thursday at Talladega Superspeedway.
Schacht used a rebuilt version of the Engineered Components Ford Thunderbird he used to win the pole position for the season- opening Daytona ARCA 200 when he ran a lap at 196.013 mph around the 2.66-mile oval. That bettered the 195.472 effort set early in qualifying by hometown favorite Doug Reid of Hueytown, Ala., who drive the Long-Lewis Ford. Reid ended up on the outside of the front row.
The effort was Schacht's 15th career ARCA pole and his sixth on a superspeedway, one behind all-time ARCA superspeedway pole king Bill Venturini, Talladega's ARCA track record holder. Schacht became the first driver to sweep a season's ARCA poles at Daytona and Talladega since Venturini accomplished it in 1987.
On Friday, NASCAR Winston Cup Series practice will be held from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Busch Pole Award Qualifying for the Winston Select 500 will begin at 3 p.m. Central Time.
Although reserved seat tickets for the Winston Select 500 are sold, unreserved backstretch grandstand seats remain for Sunday's race. They will go on sale at 7 a.m. on Sunday. Two-day infield tickets will go on sale at 5 a.m. on Saturday. One-day infield tickets become available following the conclusion of Saturday's on- track activities. For ticket information call the Talladega Superspeedway Ticket Office at 205-362-9064.
The starting lineup for the Food World 500k will be set in second round qualifying at 9:30 a.m. No less than 48 cars are on hand to try to make the field for the third round of the Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series. Round Three of True Value Dodge IROC XIX will precede the ARCA race at noon on Saturday.
BOB SCHACHT (#75 Engineered Components Ford) -- (Note: Schacht received his Talladega Pole Award from winning the pole at Daytona in the Daytona Arca 200. The joke was that they could now cancel qualifying since he already had his trophy.) -- We ran pretty good in practice, but we slowed down a bit in qualifying. It doesn't matter, though, we're on the pole. I tried some things in practice figuring it might pick things up a bit. Then, I changed it back but I didn't change it back exactly like it was. The race is what counts right now. We'll make the car a lot more comfortable now for the race. Today, I was really concerned with the wind because it picked up and then it quit and then it would pick up again. That might have played with my decision on setup, too.
This is the car we ran at Daytona. (On the rebuild after his Daytona incidents). The only thing that's left of the Daytona car is the roof and deck lid. We completely put a different body on it. We ran over some debris at Daytona and blew a tire which tore up a fender. Then, we got into something with another car. Rather than just patch things up, we put a different body on it it make it better. Come Saturday we'll have a very good car.
I think Doug Reid (outside pole) has a good head on his shoulders. He drove one of my cars in a race last year. I hope he'll have a good race on Saturday. I think he'll be smart and just settle back and see how things are. When the pit stops start and things shake out, the race can be a different story. The fastest car didn't win at Daytona. Honestly, I've never run good here. I've run good at Daytona and Atlanta, but never at Talladega. Maybe, Saturday will be a good day for us. I like the track.
MARK THOMPSON (#66 Phoenix Air Ford) -- We had run some :38's in practice. The way the wind and things are here, you never know what you might run in qualifying. It'll be a top-10 time, I'm sure. I'm pretty sure that we'll see Bob Schacht run somewhere near 48:50 for the pole. Watch.
DOUG REID (#05 Long-Lewis Ford) -- (On fast lap) We figured we could run fast. We ran 195 here in December. Then, we were the quickest car at Daytona in the ARCA test. We were quickest when we went back to Daytona in February, but blew up our good motor before qualifying. I was fastest in the second round. It was just bad luck. We were up to sixth in the race and then got into a wreck. We're learning as we go. The motor program is coming together and we're working hard. This is the same car I ran at Atlanta last year. Our super speedway car isn't ready yet. I don't know why this car is so good. It isn't supposed to. Whatever it is with the car, we aren't changing anything. I'm getting better with more experience and so is the crew. I hope the time is good enough to hold up.
HARRIS DeVANE (#33 Highland Timber Ford) -- That's the best qualifying run we've ever had. This is quite a car and it's going to be a good race car. It's a Junior Johnson car that Bill Elliott raced last year. We went to Junior's shop to pick it up and then we went to Dawsonville and got an Ernie Elliott engine to put in it. We've got some combination here. I feel good about it.
JEFF PURVIS (#1 Phoenix Construction Chevrolet) -- We ran good, but we might have taped off a bit too much. We felt we should have gone faster. This is the car that I won the race last year in.
JIMMY HORTON (#52 AC-Delco Chevrolet) -- We're not real happy with our lap. We ran quicker this morning. I'm not sure what happened. Something slowed down. We've got to look for it. We'll get racy now. Hey, sometimes this time trial stuff gives everybbody a flase reading.
GARY BRADBERRY (#78 Big B Drugs Chevrolet) -- We're a little disappointed. I thought we could run a bit quicker than that. It looked like the Fords were really strong. We've got a good car for the race. It's more a race car than a qualifying car.
KEVIN RAY (#2* Mississippi Motorplex Chevrolet) -- The car is running great but we just need more time in the car so we can test it more. We brought a new Monte Carlo here that we picked up on Tuesday, and we were hoping to go a little bit faster. It had about 10 or 15 laps on it before we took it out for qualifying -- that's all. This was not how we expected to qualify. We came off a fourth place qualifying run at Daytona (for the February Daytona ARCA 200) and we expected to do a lot better here. We need to gain a little bit more. We haven't had an awful lot of time to work with the car.

The developer behind the critically-acclaimed The Walking Dead video game has expressed interest in making a James Bond title.
Speaking during an interview with OXM, (via Eurogamer) Kevin Bruner, President and co-founder of TellTale Games, said if he were to develop a Bond game, he'd focus on toning down the excessive violence typically attributed to video game adaptations starring the British spy.
"I'm a giant James Bond fan and I'm always frustrated by games that make him a mass murderer," said Bruner. "He's a super-spy, and that's a different skillset. The films make him less of a mass murderer, and there's not much killing in the books - more spying and intrigue."
Elsewhere, CEO Dan Connors remained cautious on the prospect of TellTale developing a new IP.
"I think we're looking more at 'Can we engage some great storytelling mind to come in and work with us on something and make it not just a game franchise, but a full-on entertainment franchise with comics or a TV show and such and build it all together at once?'" said Connors. "We really see that as the next thing that's gonna happen."
TellTale is currently working on the second season of The Walking Dead, with Episode 1: All That Remains, now available to download for PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE.

i dont see why everyone is hating on your plan so much,., especially after your explanation of why your doing it. if its what you like to do that much then why not do it., also i think it would be great to see the wear and tear over time. i for one would be interested in seeing how the guns hold up over this shooting period and seeing how grouping holds up, not sure why other people wouldnt be as interested or more supportive especially if your family doesnt mind you doing it
also you said your going to use multiple firearms how many guns is the 128k going to be split up over?
no idea i was going to keep a log. I mainly plan on using handguns since i belong to a pistol only range but i have 100+ rifles and 30+ handguns with 4 more joining the collection on christmas. I figure the most commonly shot will be a cz 75 a cz 97bd a hammerli p240 my christensen 1911 and to a lesser extent some others. for 22lr shooting i have a s&w model 41 and a clot woodsman match extra and some others like a mark 3 and a pre woodsman.
lots of choices and it i get bored ill get something new. or if i just want to burn thru the goal i can use the ar with the slide fire stock and just blaze thru 30 round mags.
i plan on every day being fun and enjoyable. and even if i skip a day due to range activity i can make it up fairly quick i think.

The European Commission on Tuesday said it had sent a "statement of objections" to 13 firms suspected of taking part in a cartel for optical disk drives, used to read or write data on CDs and DVDs.
"The Commission has concerns that those suppliers may have coordinated their behaviour in bidding events organised by two major original equipment manufacturers for optical disk drives," a statement said, without naming the firms.
A statement of objections is a formal step in a probe into suspected violations of EU rules prohibiting cartels and restrictive business practices.
Once informed in writing, companies can examine documents on commission files and respond.
The commission statement addded that it "takes the preliminary view that the companies concerned engaged for at least five years in bid rigging, which is one of the most serious breaches of EU antitrust rules."
Should the regulators conclude there was an infringement, it can slap a fine of up to 10 percent of a company's annual worldwide turnover.

Bruce scuffling since Co-Player of the Week honor
Bruce scuffling since Co-Player of the Week honor
Bruce is hitless in his last 17 at-bats and 2-for-21 with six strikeouts. He has just one extra-base hit, one RBI, one run and one walk in that span.
"No. 1, the other teams read that he's Player of the Week," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "I think that's what nobody sees. They're going in pitching him tough saying, 'He's hot, don't let Jay beat you,' and that's what happens. It's not just Jay not doing something. Sometimes it's them not allowing Jay to do a whole bunch. They're not throwing a whole bunch of good pitches to hit. Jay has to be patient and accept the walks. They're not pitching to him."
Baker pointed to Friday night's game as a perfect example. In an at-bat against starter Jacob Turner, Bruce waited on a 3-0 pitch and got a changeup.
The 25-year-old, who last homered a week ago against Houston's Bud Norris, is third in the NL with 33 homers. During his stretch that led to the NL honor, he hit .500 (11-for-22) with a 1.227 slugging percentage, .542 on-base percentage, four homers and nine RBIs.
It marked the second this time season -- and fifth of his five big league seasons -- that Bruce earned Player of the Week honors.
"You have the ups and downs," Baker said. "If you just had ups all the time, guys would be hitting .400. It doesn't work like that, plus Jay's still young. Most guys his age haven't been here a year or two. He's still way ahead of schedule and pace."

Post-nuclear: After Fukushima, a global push for renewables
4 comments
Perhaps the most profound response to the Fukushima disaster came from Germany less than a week after the earthquake. German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced at a political campaign rally that she now supported the phase-out of nuclear power by 2020. "If we can reach this goal sooner, all the better," she told the crowd.
On June 30, the lower house of Germany's parliament voted 513 to 79 to phase out all 17 of the country's nuclear reactors by 2022, making Germany the first major industrialized power to walk away from nuclear energy. The focus of future investment in the country's power infrastructure will be on renewable sources, including both wind and solar. Indeed, the country's target is to double the proportion of energy from renewables to 35 percent by 2020.
In the wake of the German government's actions, Siemens president and CEO Peter Löscher announced in a Sept. 18 interview with news magazine Der Spiegel that the industrial and electronics conglomerate would permanently withdraw from the nuclear power business. "We will not accept any new contracts to finance or act as general contractor in the construction of nuclear power plants," Löscher told the magazine. "That chapter is closed for us."
While Germany represents the extreme in national reactions to Fukushima, countries across the world have been reviewing the role nuclear power will play in their long-term energy strategies. On June 1, for example, Italy's government placed a 12-month moratorium on its nuclear program partly as a result of Fukushima. Italy had not built any nuclear power plants in a long time but was poised to resume construction just as the Fukushima disaster hit. Now, pundits expect the country's promised 20-year energy plan to place a greater emphasis on renewable sources such as wind and solar.
Spain's president, meanwhile, ordered the nation's nuclear regulatory authority to review the safety standards of the country's eight nuclear plants but has not called for a change in national policy. The integrity of Spain's nuclear infrastructure was tested on May 11, when a magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck southeast Spain. No damage was reported at the Cofrentes nuclear facility, located 110 miles from the epicenter.
France, which derives 74 percent of its energy from nuclear sources, has no plans to change its policy, even though 60 percent of French citizens reportedly now oppose nuclear power. The country is moving forward on construction of a nuclear plant in Flamanville, Normandy. The U.K. government, too, remains committed to investing in nuclear power as it shutters its stock of aging coal-fired plants. But both countries are conducting a review of safety standards and the potential impact natural disasters may have on their nuclear plants.
Similarly, in the United States, the Obama administration ordered the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in mid-March to convene a task force to conduct a comprehensive review of the country's nuclear power infrastructure and make recommendations for improving safety standards. On July 13, the task force reported that an accident on the scale of Fukushima "is unlikely to occur in the United States" and that the country's currently operating nuclear plants "do not pose an imminent risk" to public safety.
Still, the NRC issued a 12-point plan that included recommendations for dealing with total power failure and multi-unit events, and for protecting reactors and their safety systems from earthquakes and floods.
In mid-March, China's Cabinet said the government would suspend approvals for nuclear power stations to allow for a revision in safety standards and to conduct safety inspections at plants in operation and under construction. As of September, work was reportedly moving forward on 27 plants currently under construction, including China's Generation IV "pebble bed" nuclear plant in Shidao, Shandong province. The pebble bed reactor is one of six designs in the class of very-high temperature reactors included in the so-called Generation IV initiative. The reactor design uses graphite "pebbles" embedded with fissionable material as the reactor core, with the temperature moderated by a gas such as helium.
China plans to build as many as 50 additional nuclear reactors over the next decade. That tally—the equivalent of more than one new plant every three months for the next 10 years—exceeds the total number planned by the rest of the world combined. The dramatic increase is part of China's 12th Five-Year Plan, released March 14, which maps out the country's goal to add 40 GW of new nuclear power by 2020. In total, China plans to have 66 nuclear plants in operation by 2020, which would satisfy about 6 percent of the country's total energy needs.
Similarly, India conducted a review of its nuclear plant safety in response to Fukushima that yielded several recommendations for improving safety standards. Among them are installing systems to enhance detection of seismic activity and improve automatic shutdown procedures, and establishing flood-proof enclosures for electrical systems.
Like China, India is pursuing an aggressive expansion of its nuclear power program that's unlikely to be slowed by the Fukushima disaster. The country plans to bring 20 GW of nuclear capacity on line by 2020 and 63 GW by 2032. The government's plan is for nuclear power to satisfy 25 percent of the country's power demand by 2050.

Small tunable RF filters provide low loss, broad coverage
Post a comment
Columbia, Md.Paratek Microwave Inc. is now shipping low loss, high performance tunable band pass filter evaluation kits based on Paratek's tunable RF technology.
The 0.3 sq. in. filter core features insertion loss as low as 2-dB with an IIP3 in excess of 45-dBm, while consuming less than 20 milliwatts of power.
Paratek attributes this performance to its ParaTune family of Passive Tunable ICs (PTICs) and supporting high voltage control ASIC that replace switched capacitors and varactor diodes in tunable filters, matching networks, and phase shifters. Paratek PTICs provide Q values two to four times higher than previous devices. This higher Q leads directly to lower insertion loss and better selectivity.
Paratek low-loss tunable filters are intended for software-defined radio (SDR) applications that require high intercept filters with minimum size, weight, and power.
Paratek is now shipping 2-pole and 3-pole 10% bandwidth band pass filter kits covering the 300MHz to 450MHz frequency range. Each kit includes a self-contained filter test board with SMA connectors, AC adaptor, RS-232 interface cable, and all required software.
Pricing: Kits are priced at $1500.
Availability: Ship four weeks after receipt of order.

Up to this point Jason Flemyng has appeared in all of Matthew Vaughn's movies, a fact that doesn't look like it's going to change any time soon since it is being reported that he has a role in Vaughn's "X-Men: First Class". He has been tapped to play Azazel, Nightcrawler's father.
Flemyng told Empire
Matthew showed me my costume just the other day. Now I swore I'd never be in heavy make-up again, but this role is going to involve it. But at least they said, "Don't worry, we'll add the tail in post". I am Azazel, and I can teleport by waving my arms [gestures like a cross between a flamenco dancer and a Bollywood star].
Azazel has the ability to teleport from dimension to dimension, he may or may not be a demon, and he knocked up Mystique to spawn Nightcrawler.
It isn't clear whether Azazel will be a big part of the story or not, but at least he will be red, the character's appropriate color.

Wesleyan Professor presents research at International Conference
Dr. Victor Townsend, biologist and specialist on the natural history and taxonomy of harvestmen of Central America and the Caribbean, is the only invited presenter and scientist from the United States.
By Megan Z. Shearin | September 17, 2009
Norfolk/ Virginia Beach, Va. – Virginia Wesleyan College's Batten Associate Professor and Program Coordinator of Biology, Dr. Victor Townsend, is presenting two papers at the "International Seminar on Arachnology, Panama 2009," in Panama City on Saturday, Sept. 19.
From September 21-24, scientists from Panama, Costa Rica, Brazil, Cuba, Uruguay and Venezuela will present original research papers and reviews of the biology of spiders, scorpions, mites, ticks and other animals from the class Arachnida. Townsend, the only scientist invited from the United States, is presenting papers on the systematics and ecology of harvestmen or Opiliones (more commonly known in the U.S. as daddy long-legs).
"The conference is a wonderful opportunity to share current information with scientists who are examining species of ecological, economic or medical significance in Central America," said Townsend. "It is a valuable workshop/think tank and excellent networking opportunity."
The National Secretary of Sciences, Technology and Innovation of Panama (SENACYT) is fully funding the conference and is supporting Townsend's participation in the week-long event.
Townsend has been teaching at Virginia Wesleyan for 10 years. He is currently planning a Winter Session trip to Costa Rica for January 2011 and a field study of harvestmen in the rainforests of Costa Rica and Nicaragua during the summer of 2010 for Virginia Wesleyan students.
Townsend earned his Ph.D. and M.S. from the University of Louisiana Lafayette and his B.S. from Old Dominion University. He has published 40 research articles in scientific journals and co-authored nearly 50 contributed papers at state, regional and national conferences. Since 2000, he has mentored more than 30 students conducting undergraduate research projects at Virginia Wesleyan and was the keynote speaker at the Louisiana Academy of Sciences Annual Conference in the spring of 2008.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Fish by the Moon
Fishing by the Moon is one of the main factors in catching fish. Success in fishing is not by chance and by methodical studying of fishing patterns based on the moon phase, tide, time of day and time of the year. This article has some obvious pointers you can use immediately and guides you in the direction of becoming a great fisherman.
1After each trip, write notes on a calender on the fishing action you experienced. Include the specific times of the day, for fishing action you experienced. Fishing action includes strikes and nibbles, and not just the fish that you landed.
2Buy a calender with the moon phases and tide chart. Get the moon phases and daily tides from the newspaper or the internet as an alternative.
3Watch fishing shows, read fishing books and magazines, and follow the advice of other people.
4Carry a clipping of the tide chart when fishing, and schedule meal breaks, traveling or resting when it is not favorable such as a full, high tide.
5Relate the position of the moon to the tide. If the moon is out, from its position in the sky, you will be able to know what is the tide phase.
6Study the effects of fishing action at the moon rise and set. During this changeover, fishing can be fast and furious.
7When night fishing, fish for big fish when the moon is smaller and small fish when the moon is bigger. Big fish are leery of light and swimming into shallow water.
8If using a light, at night, notice the shadows it casts on the water. When after big fish, you must have some shadows in the water. Ideally, when after big fish, do not use a light that is on all the time, instead use a little penlight when fixing your rigs or baiting.
9When night fishing, to draw fish with a light, such as a lantern that is always on, choose a darker moon phase or the time of night before or after the moon rises or sets. Plankton seek the light, small fish seek the plankton and big fish hunt the small fish. A lantern will not draw much plankton if the moon is full.
10Fish by the moon phases for the different fish species in addition to fish size. Study fishing around the full moon, last quarter and first quarter in this order of importance. Test the advice of your local fishing experts.

I'm writing this month's round-up with a small boy leaning on my right elbow, watching me type. He can't read yet so I am not sure what exactly he is finding so fascinating about me writing but at least he can't spot my spelling mistakes.
It's been a busy month as usual in the adoption and fostering community. I feel its only fair to start with the launch of The Adoption Social www.theadoptionsocial.com which is a brand new website aimed at bringing together those involved in adoption through the use of social media. Founded by Sarah from The Puffin Diaries and Vicki from The Boy's Behaviour it is the new home of WASO (The Weekly Adoption Shout-Out) which you will have seen mentioned here before. Hosting items such as Memory Box, A Problem Shared, Blogless Blogging and of course, WASO, it's a one-stop shop for all your adoption media and blogs. I blogged myself about the importance of this here and will be following it with interest. You can still find WASO here and also on The Adoption Social which links through to many great adoption and fostering blogs.
Another adoption-related big news story this month was the return of Long Lost Family on our TV screens. For those not familiar it brings together family members who have been separated and many of these stories include adoption. Hosted by Nicky Campbell and Davina McCall it's a tear-jerker and for adoptive parents has a special kind of meaning to it. Fiona Ferguson has written about it on her blog, asking the interesting question if it is representative of modern adoption .
I received a lovely fostering blog this month called 'Every Starfish Matters' which tells the story of Jessie, Esmerelda and Jack-Jack. I love the title of the blog and meaning behind it and you can find some great posts there, including meeting Andy .
The One Hand Man has written a helpful piece this month about what to do if your adoption application is refused. I had a query sent to me this month along these lines also and its useful to have this blogged about for those considering adoption. If you have been refused, then it is worth re-considering your options and where else you can apply.
I found an interesting piece this month on Adoption.com which is a US site. Adoption is quite 'big' in the States, in a different way to here in the UK. None the less, this piece is useful about discussing siblings with children. Many adoptive children will have siblings who are placed with others, in short or long-term foster care, independent and adult or who remain in the care of the birth family. It can sometimes be hard to explain the many facets of adoption, fostering and what happens when a birth parent cannot parent a baby but this blog gives a good message that honesty and openness is the way forward.
Another new blog this month from Adoption Journey who is going through the assessment process. I like this blog, it looks really good, some great use of pictures too. Check it out and give some support.
Finally I am ending with 2 pieces from Sally Donovan along the theme of Project Me. I think this applies to every parent or carer but adoptive parents or foster carers or anyone who is dealing with particularly challenging behaviour, take note! You aren't any use to anyone when you are a mess and to stop yourself disintegrating into a ball of stress and exhaustion, it is ok to sometimes be a bit selfish, put yourself at the front of the queue and say no. Check out 'Caring for the Carers' her first piece on this and the follow-up 'Just say no' here.
That's all for another month, so enjoy reading all the blogs mentioned here, including the links through to WASO and The Adoption Social where you can find even more and don't forget to send me your posts for next month please!
About Maryam Lane
My own blog can be found at www.maryamlane.blogspot.co.uk and I am on Twitter @MaryamLane where I have been delighted to find a small but tight adoption and fostering community who like me, love to chat. If you have something that you would like to say about adoption, fostering, social work or any related area, please let me know and I will do my very best to include you in the round-up. Likewise if you spot a great post by a fellow blogger who really deserves a bit of a shout-out, please get in touch. I'll be keeping out an eye each month for those in the blogosphere involved in adoption/fostering but if I miss anything you can contact me at email@example.com , via Twitter or my blog

text: A Veterans Administration report released Monday that claims the GOP budget would leave more than 100,000 veterans without health coverage "is plainly designed to energize veterans groups against the budget, and is a good example of the Clinton Administration pulling every stop they can to derail the Republican cuts," says Pentagon correspondent Mark Thompson. The VA report claims that as many as 172,000 of some 600,000 vets who are covered by Medicaid would be dropped from the program; at the same time, the report projects that higher Medicare premiums could force up to 400,000 new veterans to seek VA health care. Those assumptions may be overblown, however, since vets don't necessarily prefer to seek their medical care at veterans hospitals, when they have the choice, as many Medicare recipients do. Mark Thompson notes that since younger vets have never been as eager as their World War II counterparts to seek medical care in VA hospitals, the VA was already an increasingly underused and inefficient system. If the budget legislation actually forced more vets to use VA hospitals, the Veterans Administration might be on firmer ground. While the VA argument may be weak, though, the power of the VA lobby is not. Says Thompson: "Like AARP [the American Association for Retired Persons] veterans groups are very disciplined with considerable clout on Capitol Hill, especially with Republicans."

ORLANDO, Fla. - Local 6 has learned of several other bus driver violations in the last year--the most recent being a driver suspended after texting while driving.
A passenger sent Local 6 cellphone video of a driver texting while operating the Link 23 bus from Winter Park to Springs Village. Local 6 took the video to LYNX officials who confirmed the bus driver was texting while on his route.
In the most recent case, LYNX reviewed its own bus-mounted cameras and suspended the driver on the spot and LYNX has a zero tolerance policy, so the driver will likely be fired.
But Local 6 found within the last year, three drivers have tested positive for drugs, including two for cocaine and another was fired for refusing a random drug test, according to records.
"They need instant reflexes when they're driving those buses. And they can't do that if their mind is impaired with drugs," said passenger Almeda Sun.
One driver was fired after he texted a picture of his genitals to a female passenger after the passenger exchanged numbers with him for the driver to send her information about bus routes, the termination letter stated.
Another driver was fired for several road rage incidents, including one where she got into a confrontation with a passenger and drove the bus in the passenger's direction. In that driver's termination letter, her superiors wrote, "you're dangerous and callous actions in an attempt to intimidate or harm a passenger, could have killed or injured at least two people."
LYNX said the violations are taken seriously and dealt with swiftly.
"We have a zero tolerance policy and it's all about safety out there for our passengers out there and everyone else on the roadway," said Matt Friedman of LYNX.

Samir Zawahri was the father of Santa Monica College shooter who is now dead. Zawahri is of Lebanese decent. Of course they can be Christian Lebanese too. There is no name released for the shooter yet, and the media has been awfully quiet on the name of the father who was killed by his son. Samir Zawahri and another of his adult sons were the first two killed by the SMC as the House owned by Zawahri was burned down. I guess Brian Ross wouldn't be Googling any Tea Party sites once the name of the shooter (who is now dead) is finally released. It's been curious why the name of the shooter, or his father and brother's names have been kept quiet. I guess no we know.
Of course we don't know if the shooter was on some sort of Jihad, or was just a nutcase like an Adam Lanza or Jared Loughner. I'm sure glad that Obama and his NSA spied on all Americans phone and Internet records in order to prevent this from happening! Oh wait. It didn't prevent jack sh*t.
Oh and lets talk about those strong gun laws Diane Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, and MoonBeam Jerry Brown have in California. Looks like that gun free zone, and those strict laws really worked out well stopping a mass shooting? That's sarcasm by the way. Samir Zawahri, two of his sons (including the killer) and two others are dead from another 'gun free zone.'

Josh Beckett's 'Redemption' Comes at an Awfully Convenient Time
I think we've proven over the years that we're not ones to hold grudges.
So, of course, congratulations to Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Josh Beckett on his first career no-hitter Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies, proving that even quitters can indeed prosper.
Beckett was filthy in his historic moment, walking only three and striking out six en route to his team's 6-0 win, Beckett's third in a row, after starting 2014 with five no-decisions and a loss. It was the first no-hitter for the Dodgers since Hideo Nomo fever spread like Six Degrees of Jonah Hill across Los Angeles.
What a comeback. Right?
The Dodgers have paid Beckett some $22 million since obtaining the hurler in the epic August 2012 trade that sent him, the charismatic Adrian Gonzalez, hard-core Carl Crawford, and big-time Nick Punto packing. They've seen five wins and a no-hitter for that investment.
But Beckett is 3-1 with a 2.43 ERA this season for the Dodgers, after missing most of 2013 after having a rib removed to help cure a shoulder condition. He's already made nine starts in 2014, one more than he managed all of last season, when the narrative wondered if he'd ever pitch again. If the Dodgers didn't owe him $15.75 million this year, he'd likely have been sent to the scrap heap, just another one-time dominant pitcher whose career had ended in shambles.
Instead, the new incarnation of Beckett has become a parable of sorts, a story of redemption in a town that was bred on such fantasies coming to life.
As Beckett crept closer to his moment on Sunday, Red Sox fans who were watching Boston cough up its 10th straight loss were in no mood to celebrate a guy who had quit on their team down the stretch in 2011, then showed no remorse for his role in the collapse the next season under Bobby Valentine. Beckett sought out the "snitch." He spoke more about his off-days than getting back on track. He was mercilessly booed at Fenway Park, a matter that really got into the craw of Beckett's PR directors in the BBWAA, some of the same writers whom were embarrassingly rooting for the Dodgers pitcher over the weekend.
Maybe this really is Beckett returning to the form that made him one of baseball's most-feared pitchers and a two-time World Series champion, with a postseason resume that can be lumped in with the best in baseball history.
Maybe it's also a matter of convenience that the 34-year-old is a free agent at the end of the season and is likely looking for one more payday.
Call us cynical, but it's hard to believe that a guy who has looked more like a talented Grimace on the mound the last four years has suddenly found that spark that was missing for so long. Beckett parlayed a 17-6 season in 2009 into a $68 million, four-year contract extension the following spring. He went 6-6 that season with a 5.78 ERA that would make Clay Buchholz drool. The following year, he was 13-7 with a 2.89 ERA, but apparently became too disinterested in matters like winning, dragging his lapdog fellow starters along for the ride.
Since signing his last deal, Beckett is all of 29-36 over four seasons. On the day the Red Sox announced the extension in 2010, Beckett maintained that he was happy that he didn't press for the fifth year that teammate John Lackey had received a year earlier.
"A lot of people look at what you lost. I look at what I gained," he said. "I look at four more years of stability, knowing I'm going to be on a winning team. The season gets old when you're losing 90 games. I know I'm going to have a chance to win every year here."
Sure. On the other hand, Beckett probably understands all too well that there's only so long that you can go about conning the people who write your paychecks.A fifth year of sucking? The ramifications could be dreadful.
But three years, followed up by a National League tour of "redemption"? Well, now that ought to get more than one general manager shaking some change out of their owners' pockets in the offseason.
And now, well, he also has Sunday.
"If the Dodgers have a sense of humor, they'll even have chicken and beer on the flight home to Los Angeles," USA Today's Bob Nightengale wrote in the wake of the no-hitter (an honest-to-goodness chicken and beer joke, kids!). "And celebrate the man who is a living testament to what can happen when you refuse to give up."
Wait. Come again?
"And celebrate the man who is a living testament to what can happen when you refuse to give up."
Giving up is what Josh Beckett does best, after all. It was his surrendering that cost manager Terry Francona his job in Boston, leading to the most pathetic season of baseball that Boston has witnessed in a generation. In his final days here, Beckett proved to be a guy who didn't care, a target the Red Sox drastically needed to rid themselves of. Is there "redemption" in figuring it was finally time to give a damn?
"It's special," Beckett said on Sunday. "It's something you certainly think about during your career but very few people have been able to do it."
Welcome back, Josh Beckett. You may have fooled the Phillies for one day, but you've got the whole rest of the year to keep up your well-timed ruse.

Northwestern College Choir will begin spring tour in Hudson
Sunday's concert by the well-regarded Northwestern College Choir will be a homecoming for three of its members.
Jordan Steffen, Elliott Krizek and Ryan Bell each sang with Hudson High School choirs before moving on to the Christian liberal arts college located in Roseville, Minn. Steffen and Krizek are seniors, and Bell is a sophomore.
According to Steffen, the fact that three of his singers are from Hudson is partly why Northwestern choir director Timothy Sawyer wanted to begin the choir's annual spring tour in Hudson. The reputation of Hudson High School's choral music program also was a factor.
Sawyer worked with Hudson High School choral director Andrew Haase in arranging for the 4 p.m. concert in the high school's fine arts auditorium.
The choir will be accompanied by a 22-piece string ensemble conducted by David Kozamchak.
"Music of Praise: A Gift from God" will be the theme of the sacred concert featuring hymns and spirituals, as well as works by Bach, Handel and Vaughan Williams.
The selections performed will include "Singet Dem Herrn (Sing to the Lord a New Song)" by Johann Sebastian Bach, sung in German, "Concerto Grosso in G" by George Frideric Handel, "Let All the World in Every Corner Sing" by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and the spiritual "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho," arranged by Howard Helvey.
The public is invited to attend the free performance. An offering to help cover the choir's expenses will be taken during the intermission.
Steffen -- the son of Cheryl and Art Forester and Robert and Liz Steffen -- said he's looking forward to returning to the auditorium where he did his high school singing. He hopes people will take advantage of the opportunity to hear a "top-notch" choir perform sacred music.
"We sing it because we believe it. It comes from the heart," he said. "...We've worked very long and hard. We're singing a ton of music. It's just going to be a good time."
Steffen has been in Northwestern's top choir each of his four years at the college. He said it has been a great experience.
"My faith has grown exponentially because of the people I have been with," he said.
He added that being a member of the choir has made him more disciplined, because if you don't practice the music, it is very obvious in a group comprised of so many talented singers.
"It's such an honor and a blessing to be surrounded by so many amazing musicians," he said. "To be able to say I'm a part of it is pretty big."
Steffen also has performed in three musicals during his career at Northwestern. He will graduate in the spring with a bachelor's degree in communications and public relations.
Fellow Northwestern senior Elliott Krizek is the son of John and Christina Krizek of Hudson.
Ryan Bell is the son of Randy and Nadine Bell of Hudson.
The Northwestern College Choir and Strings will be giving concerts at churches in Texas March 7-12. The ensembles will be visiting Dallas/Fort Worth, Lubbock, San Antonio and Pasadena.

Congressman Williams: "Repeal the nightmare of ObamaCare"
Today, U.S. Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX) spoke on the House floor to criticize the President's decision to delay implementation of the employer mandate for one year. Williams supports a full repeal of the President's healthcare law.
The video can be viewed here. Remarks follow.
"Nervous, concerned, complex, train wreck, third-world experience. These are words used by the Democrat authors of ObamaCare to describe their very own creation. Mr. Speaker, these aren't new concerns – these are concerns shared by families and businesses across the nation ever since then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi rushed the bill through Congress so we could 'see what's in it.' Now that the Democrats and President have had 3 years to read it, they don't like what they see either.
"As a business owner and job creator of 42 years, I know businesses can no longer hire or take risks that would grow the economy. The President's one-year delay of the employer mandate isn't what businesses – or the economy– need. This only delays the meltdown that this complex government overhaul will cause.
"Business owners, parents, young professionals, senior citizens – all Americans deserve protection from this law and its mandates, its skyrocketing premiums, and its rapidly shrinking selection of coverage plans. Not for one year. Permanently. Let's fully repeal the nightmare of ObamaCare. It doesn't work now, and it won't ever work."

" Brand: Hot Wheels / Type: Toy Car "
My little boy has been getting more and more into cars since he was about 2 years old, and now he's 4 he has a big collection of Hot Wheels cars and prior to his birthday he expressed a lot of interest in the various track kits he kept seeing advertised on the TV!
So, for his birthday we bought him a few Hot Wheels tracks, as we were sure they would keep him amused for many hours and therefore be good value for money.
One of the tracks we purchased, was this 4-lane raceway. It's around 6' long and comprises 3 sections, which begin at the top with 4 lanes, then moving into 2, then into 1 single lane at the bottom. In two places on the track, there are yellow mechanisms which pop up to flick cars from the race and make the game more exciting (they are triggered when a faster car rides over a switch, thus sending the slower car flying to its doom).
At the top of the 4-lane raceway you place 4 cars into their individual lanes and a yellow 'stopper' of plastic stops the cars from rolling down. It's then down to the operator to pull the lever in the middle, which lowers the bits of yellow plastic and allow the cars to roll down the lanes. Four cars, then two, then ultimately one car will reach the end of the track (theoretically the fastest car of the four).
It's all over very quickly, as the cars do not take long to race down a 6' long slope, but it's exciting and quite fun. My little boy actually prefers to just connect the bottom end of the track to more orange track from other kits and send one car at a time from the top, using the raceway as a long slope for a car to race down, before rolling onto more track and possibly launching the start of another track such as a 'trick tracks' kit (which he also received for his birthday).
I think the 4-lane raceway is quite good, but it's over too fast and it's a pain having to spend longer placing 4 cars in the top and resetting all of the yellow 'flippers' down the track, than the race itself lasts. The raceway is entirely plastic, but it's strong and seems very durable. It folds away nicely for (almost) flat storage and is quick and simple to set up (my Son likes to use it in the garden). Shop around and if you can get it for under £20 then I'd say it's worth it - my little boy loves it anyway, which is the main thing! :)
Get behind the wheel for extreme racing action with the Four-Two -One Raceway. It's knockout fun with extreme crashes and only one ultimate winner. Age range: From 4 years.

No date has been set as schedules are still being worked out, but Singer and the studio are aiming for tests to occur in London within the next two weeks.
The script -- the most recent one is by Christopher McQuarrie -- is set in motion when a princess is kidnapped, threatening the long-standing peace between humans and giants. A young farmer is then forced to lead a rescue mission to the giants' kingdom.
Aaron Johnson, Nicholas Hoult and Aneurin Barnard are up for the young farmer role.
Johnson, who starred in Kick-Ass, has been on the Giant Killer list since the summer, when Singer first began meeting with actors for the role. Hoult, who appeared in A Single Man, was already on Singer's radar as he nabbed the role of Beast in X-Men: First Class, which the filmmaker is producing. Singer was using the casting process for X-Men to pre-select candidates for Giant Killer. Barnard is a relative unknown filmwise. He appears in the Medieval action movie Ironclad (which doesn't have a domestic distributor) but is best known for the West End production of Spring Awakening.
Jamie Campbell Bower, who appeared in Sweeney Todd and as Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1, was also on the list, but insiders say he broke his ankle and now can't test.
On the female front, Adelaide Kane, Lily Collins and Juno Temple are testing for the part of the princess. Kane is an Australian actress who appeared in the popular soap Neighbours and starred in the TV series Power Rangers RPM. Collins appears in Priest, while Temple is an up-and-coming actress making a name for herself in the indie scene. Both are U.K. born.
The movie was originally to have begun production this past summer, but the heavy special effects work planned, with Singer pre-visualizing the work, on top of the studio tightening down on the budget, pushed the start date to March.
The actors are being asked sign eight -or nine-month holds, an extraordinary amount of time for a production, according to sources in the representation community.

I've seen many pics of beautiful fabric "stashes" on here - many look like small fabric stores. Does anyone have any trouble w/the fabric fading in the ones that are "on display" on OPEN shelves.
If I was blessed enough to have an even small stash, (I pretty much have to buy as I need) I can't imagine being able to use it fast enough to prevent fading.
Thanks, just curious - have a blessed day. :lol:

Sheridan Wyoming Summer 2011
Looking for some wheeling. Any takers? Unable to find clubs near Sheridan, but there must be some wheelers around. Let's get together.
I got your message. We can get together for a wheelin trip. Not sure when, I was just up there this past weekend and there is alot of snow left. With the warmer temps hopefully it will melt rather quickly. Maybe in a few weeks we can make the red grade trip. Have a few of my guys heading to SD next week for the black hills jeep club jeep run so probably after that. Maybe we could shoot for the 25th or 26th of june for a day run. We have 2 TJ's and 3 Rubies that normally go. I guess anyone interested post here. ~Jarrod

Masking with Channels in Photoshop | 3
Masking with Channels in Photoshop
Fine-tuning Composites
Perhaps you've spent a couple of hours using all of your skill and know-how to cut an object out of the background so you can paste it into a new image. Now you have an object with a razor-sharp edge that's guaranteed to sit seamlessly in its new environment. However, after you've pasted it in, it just doesn't look right. You can't quite put your finger on the reason why. If this sounds like a scenario you sometimes find yourself in, read on.
Method 1: Layer Blend Modes
1 The first image comes from our project on making difficult selections using channels (see page 160). The blue halo around the tree we've just pasted into the sunset scene is the result of the blue light in the original image. And, because of the position of the sun in the new image, we'd expect to see the tree and the earth in silhouette, so we have some work to do here.
2 One of the quickest and easiest ways to create a silhouette effect for the tree is to use Layer Blend Modes. At present, the tree is on the top layer. With the tree layer active, click the Blend Modes drop-down box. Multiply, Color Burn, or Linear Burn can all be usedÂwith subtle variations in the resultÂto successfully silhouette the tree.
3 Here, we used Multiply to create the impression of some ambient light in the earth, rather than a fully black silhouette. The result is very effective, even though it required very little work to achieve.
Method 2:
The Burn Tool
1 We can apply the same principle using a manual toolÂthe advantage being that you can judge which areas need and get the most treatment. Choose the Burn tool from the Toolbox, set the Range to Midtones and the Exposure to a fairly low percentage.
2 Use the Burn tool as you would an ordinary brush. Use multiple clicks to gradually build up the desired degree of darkness. Heavy strokes at high Exposure levels cause a solid black to build up, making the image look false. Leaving some of the foreground and tree bark relatively light allows some of the original detail to come through.
In this example, the mismatch is obvious. To cover the joins, we can apply several techniques. Blurring the background slightly helps to create a more realistic sense of depth. Selecting the deer from the top layer and blurring a border selection (see page 162) helps match it in to the background. Finally, applying Levels, Curves or Color Balance adjustments, you can ensure the layers match more evenly in tone and color. We'll cover these things in more detail on the next spread.

Don't feel to bad, Clinton, signed mine!
I did not vote for obama. However I must give credit where it is due. These westboro nuts abuse the first amendment. He may still destroy our country, but I think he done the right thing on this one.
I despise these Westboro protesters and their methods. I however respect their rights to do so as long as they are peaceful. The law may not be constitutional.
You're kidding right? Did you even listen to the oath you took? Plain speech is easy to defend. Inflammatory speech like westburo or the klan or lewie pharokan is the important ones to defend.
Personally I hope all the folks I mentioned die in a fiery bus crash. But until they do, they still have a right to spew their venom. And God bless the freedom riders that counter protest.
So it's ok to violate the constitutional rights of those we don't agree with. Yea, you're brilliant ! I hope now we can do the same to the gays and the baby killers who protest because I don't like what they have to say either ! Yes that would make my day !
The Westboro crowd disgusts me, but this is exactly why we have a first amendment... to protect unpopular speech. There is no need for laws (or constitutional provisions) to protect speech or protests or ideas everyone agrees with. Same is true of the OWS twits. I think they're morons, but so long as they obey the law (which they're not too good at) they have a right to express their views.
Nobody respects the military or those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country more than I do. These people died to protect the freedoms enshrined in our Constitution, including the rights of a-holes to express their views.
To my mind, the greatest thing about the first amendment is it allows idiots and low-life scum to self-identify... and they can't help themselves... they do it every time. That way the rest of us know who they are and can avoid them like the plague.
A leftist moron celebrates infringement against free speech. Move along, nothing new to see here.

Yeah, he really went out on a limb there, signing a law he knows won't be enforceable, going against one of the most hated groups in America and one which, coincidentally, is on the far right. What's next? Maybe the "KKK is bad" resolution?

AN employee from Essex County Council used a council database to find out confidential information about a friend's former partner and her children.
Grant King, 33, of Brunel Close, Basildon, was fined £3,809 at Basildon Magistrates' Court for accessing a social services database 624 times.
He admitted 13 counts of obtaining personal information from a database while working as a business support officer at Essex County Council between 2010 and 2013.
In mitigation, King told the court he hacked into the system – which contains sensitive information about children and young people in care – because he was fed up in his job.
He said: "I was bored at work. It was sly and ridiculous, I know it was stupid."
King was employed as a business support manager at Essex County Council and had a generic employee username and password which allowed him access to Protocol, the social services database.
The court heard the nature of his job meant he had no reason to log on to the system.
During his time at County Hall, King's friend, who cannot be named for legal reasons, became involved in family court proceedings over the custody of his children.
King admitted logging into Protocol and looking up the details about the children.
But he denied ever passing the information on to his pal – something Basildon Magistrates' Court accepted.
The court heard King was caught after one of his victims heard, from another member of the family, her personal details had been hacked.
The woman contacted the authorities and King, who had a pregnant wife at the time, was suspended by Essex County Council while it launched an investigation.
King was then arrested in September and admitted logging on to the system.
He has since been sacked from his job and is now in a junior position at another company.
King was given credit for his early guilty plea and was fined £293 for each breach.
He was also ordered to pay a £29 victim surcharge and £85 court costs.

Praveen Kumar in Shobha Priya
154. Thugs - Poem by Praveen Kumar in Shobha Priya
The rag gang of legal thugs,
Boisterous bed-bugs,
Alas, as police,
Creep on the clean world as vice,
Of all, to roll the rule of law,
For all, but them!
For all, but them,
Who, from outer space,
In vacuum of insight's sunshine or good fence
Or pride or reasons' hold,
Sweep the good old world,
Like mad mafia dons
Whack innocence all round
For the sake of bad belly.
The shady owls shun sun-lights,
The blind bats hang like ghosts
On barren branches of waste human fossils;
For, they fear light in any form,
For, they hear threats from inner light
That tinds rare fire
In the hearth of conscience
That resolves to gray ash of repentance,
The witless past and spineless presence;
They live in ignorant holes of complacence
Like rotten rats,
Oblivious of heights or depths outside
And strengths of sprite;
But, ready to shun sunshine anywhere.
The dirk packs of life bounce
With vile spikes of intrigues and pounce
On rare, proud liberated souls
That come out of sickly choky holes
To force to conform to infirmity;
For, instinct to mass crass survival
Binds in force all police ranks;
They wait and wag like dogs
Or bark and bite like dogs
On merits of leash you hold,
Or the bits of bread loaves in hand,
But, treat not a man like man,
Nor a law as law,
Nor heart nor cerebrum concern them;
Lo, an intruder!
They flock like hungry wolves,
Tear him apart and gorge to nought.
They are stupid sand bags,
Drained of wet emotions inside,
No dints, heavy weight, waste bulks;
They act in violent rattles of spasms
Like a broken diesel engine;
They rifle through crime world
To squeeze out benefits from lawless land;
Yet, not all so bad,
Gold dusts do hide in wads of earth
As rare isolated sparkles;
Wherefore the straw-ball rolls yet
Along the woof 'neath the net
Of a credible force.

" Address: Main Street / Port Charlotte / Isle Of Islay / PA48 7TX / Scotland "
Well I have not been youth hosteling since I was at school. When a friend suggested going to Islay for a few days and staying in the youth hostel I was horrified.BUT my kids wanted to go and I was on a strict budget for any kind of holiday this year. What can I say? I have been convinced beyond all doubt that youth hosteling is the way forward.
We booked a family room for four. THere were bunk beds and 2 single beds in it. The room was spotless clean and so was the linen. THe man and woman who ran the youth hostel were fabulous and were so friendly. They provided us with lots of information on local sightseeing and explained some of the local traditions i.e. waving at everyone who passed you in their car ( this was a particular favourite of mine). I told my children that I would be taking that back to the mainland with me and they were horrified. THey had lots of patience with the children and at no time did I feel that I had to tell the kids to be quiet etc as they were accepted as they were. THey are not overly wild children but can be boisterous. All the guests spoke to the children and and at no time did I feel that it was an unsafe environment for them.
THe setting of the youth hostel was also fabulous. It is set in the middle of POrt Charlotte. It is in an old building and is on the upstairs level of the building so perhaps no good for disabled people. On the lower level there is a small shop that sells wildlife bits and pieces that the kids bought in copious amounts. THere is a small information area about the local birdlife and a science area for the children to do 'stuff' that keeps them amused for a couple of hours, great for a wet day. THere is a small beach area at the rear of the hostel for sunnier days.
The hostel was really well equipped and had absolutely everything we could need. THey had all the kitchen implements one would require. THey had a nice television lounge and it had a computer and loads of board games and jigsaws to keep the kids amused. I would have no hesitation about going back there or back to Islay as it really is a beautiful place to visit. So nice in fact that I was checking the house prices on my return. The whole youth hostel experience was fabulous and we got to meet and chat to people from all backgrounds and from many countries. It was an education for us all and a fabulous place to stay.

I have 2 overlapping jobs. duirng 2009. One was very half time. The other was intermittent on an as needed basis.
It is unusual and not always acceptable to have overlapping work history. Some clients don't like the way this appears on my resume.
Any suggestions for clarifying these dates so that people will understand that it was part time and both parties were aware of my contract with the other. I can't seem to find the right phrasing.
Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future. -foulton oursler

Do people have a lot of questions about your overlapping dates? Can you put text in your resume that explains that, like you wrote in your post?
Maybe include verbiage like something with "confidentiality" or "privacy" or "integrity" or "respectful of non-compete clauses" or something?

As publisher of both the morning Winston-Salem (N.C.)

Last night's low Class A game at Wrigley Field between Peoria and Kane County was historic for a couple of reasons. The game set a Midwest League single-game attendance record as over 32,000 fans entered the Friendly Confines to take in the first minor league game in the park's history. The game would be suspended in the ninth inning due to rain with the score tied 6-6, but the most important on-field news was an injury suffered by Athletics first-round pick Jemile Weeks in the first inning.
In the first at-bat of the game, Weeks hit a grounder to short and injured himself when he stumbled over first base trying to beat the play out. He had to be helped off the field and was taken out of the game. The injury was believed to be a hip flexor, but Weeks will be re-evaluated after an MRI today.
Weeks, 21, had gotten off to a slow start in his pro career after Oakland made him the draft's 12th overall pick, getting only one hit in his first five games. But he turned that around with a 10-game hitting streak starting on July 14. He hit his first professional home run on July 24, and was hitting .297/.422/.405 through his first 74 pro at-bats.

Japan Travel between 27 Feb - 9 Mar 2013
Hi there,
I am hoping you may be able to provide us with some advise on our travel plan.
27 Feb - 3 Mar - Narita to Tokyo
My plan was to buy the Keisei Skyliner + 2 day Tokyo pass to use first and depending on how much we are going to travel in Tokyo, we will buy the 1 or 2 day passes or just single journeys.
We plan to then activate the 7-day railpass on Sunday 3 Mar and will use all rail travels with this pass. We can then use the pass to take the train back from Tokyo to Narita on 9 Mar (Sat).
Are you able to advise what additional tickets/ passes we need to purchase during our trip? In particular, in Hakone and Kyoto. Are you able to advise which routes and trains are covered by the Railpass and which are not please?
Many Thanks.
Hi there!
Looks like a great trip!
Assuming you're going to Tsu in Mie, then I think your purchase will look like:
The main reason why I say "maybe a pass for Kyoto" is that a lot of the charm of this city is in exploring on foot (or by bike). Unless you already have a mapped out itinerary for the city, then I recommend purchasing tickets as you go on the subway or bus. If you have clear travel plans, then the bus and metro passes in the link above will be great.
Aside from Hakone and within Kyoto your travel should be covered by the JR Pass (assuming you are going to a JR station in Mie!).
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the quick reply!
I just checked that I think my friends lives in Yokkaichi City in Mie, I have also clicked around on this site and found many useful information. I checked from the Hyperdia website that I could travel from Kyoto - Nagoya - Yokkaichi. I presume the JR Pass will be valid for this journey? as I have unchecked some of the options as instructed in the video.
Amazing website with excellent advice! I will be ordering our JR Pass from you guys soon! :)
Thanks for the feedback!
Yep, Yokkaichi has it's own JR station (JR Yokkaichi), so you should have full coverage with the JR Pass for that trip.
Hope this helps!
Hi There,
Very nice itinerary you got there! Still hope to visit Ise-Shima in Mie-ken myself someday.
To your in itinerary, most of your travel is covered by the JRPass, however it does not cover the full trip to Hakone.
If you plan to see a lot in Kyoto, consider buying an all day bus pass for 500Yen or all day bus+metro pass for 1200Yen. More information on these passes can be found Here and can be bought at any Tourist Information Centre.
I don't know exactly where you will travel in Mie.
The rest of your journey is covered by the JR Pass.
Let me know if you have more questions!
Was typing a replay when your question already got answered by Mari. Seems she beat me to it :)
Have a good trip!
Thanks Daniel for the additional advice! This site is really amazing. You have provided additional information for me to consider and the pricing and links that you have put in your posts are also particular useful for our budgeting :)
Thanks all, keep up the good work!!

Labor rally protests vote of Reed, Collins
A crowd of at least 75 gathered Friday at Erie County Republican Headquarters on Main Street in Buffalo to protest the votes that two local GOP congressmen cast that supported a strategy that led to this month's government shutdown.
The protest targeted Rep. Chris Collins, R-Clarence, and Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, who both voted for government funding bills tied to the defunding or delay of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. Democrats who control the Senate refused to even consider that legislation, given that it would have gutted President Obama's signature accomplishment, meaning a vote for the GOP bills was in essence a vote for a shutdown.
"We wanted to draw attention to the fact that the tea party wing of the Republican Party – which they voted with – shut down the government for two weeks and put the country on a path to default on the national debt," said Richard Lipsitz, president of the Western New York Area Labor Federation.
The labor federation organized the protest, which drew speakers from local unions as well as Citizen Action of New York.
"Reps. Collins and Reed have shown their true colors and are more willing to put the needs of fat-cat campaign contributors before the needs of their community," said Terry Purdue, a member of Citizen Action.
Cori Gambini, president of Communications Workers of America Local 1168, agreed.
"The American people want to work and are tired of the 'greed economics' of the 1 percent that Congressmen Collins and Reed represent," she said. "No one wants to go through this again."
Reed and Collins both voted for the legislation that tied funding the government to Obamacare, but this week they both criticized that strategy.
Collins said it was doomed to failure because Republicans only control one-half of one-third of the government and cannot force their agenda on the Democratic Senate and president.
And Reed conceded it was "a poor strategy."

It is only by organizing and growing conscious of this fact that we will develop our society in an egalitarian direction. In honor of this, and on the date of the murder of Caesar, Occupy Asheville will hold a festive march to commemorate the struggle against oppression, against both great tyrannies and petty tyrants.
Occupy Asheville welcomes your energetic participation. Feel free to bring signs, themed costumes, banners, puppets, instruments and other props to the march.

So Much for Affordable Parking at Barclays
Now we know what free market rates are going to be like for parking on nights when Barclays is hosting sporting events or concerts. A tipster just sent in this photo of new signage advertising a flat parking fee of $30. At that rate, you can bet drivers are going to spend time combing the surrounding neighborhoods for free street parking. And this is all the way down on Grand and Atlantic. The arena's still a good 15-minute walk from here!

Got my seat covers in....
2 Attachment(s)
It's taken a while but I finally got my seat covers in. They are the neoprene style that are custom made by Wet Okole. They fit better then I could have ever imagined and look real slick. I would recommend them to everyone looking to get the best bang for their buck. Here are some pictures of what mine look like.:thumbup:
Also here's the link to the Ford Section of their website...
looks really good man. they wouldn't happen to have camouflage ones would they? i would check the link you put on there but my phone is acting up and won't open it.
They've got everything under the sun!!! Camo is just one of many different styles and combinations you can choose from.
sounds good, i might look into some then. thanks!
They've even got heat seating options, additional lumbar support, and a gun tote, just to name a few things...
Those look sweet. Congrats!!! Great buy
wow, great way to spruce up the inside. Looks great.
Ive been kicking around on getting some for my truck I was looking at some from CoverKing, I asked them for some color samples because I have some Red painted on the interior and dont want it to clash... But nothing comming from them...... So I will try this place.... LOOKS NICE...
They've got an assortment of colors so you are bound to find one that will match your exterior and it makes it feel like a brand new truck!!!!:thumbsup:

a VirtualTourist member
My freinds and I would like to travel to Reginia for a "Girl's weekend". Where are some fun places to go? Nighclubs that are not stripper clubs would be our choice. A place for drinking and dancing with the young crowd. Any suggestions?
Hi! I've only been to Regina once but it seems like most of the nightclubs were located in the old warehouse district, on Dewdney Avenue. Have fun!
Hi Dee,
It has been 10 years since I moved from Regina, but I do still get back there to visit from time to time. (I called it home for 13 years - still love the place.)
You haven't mentioned which part of the city you will be staying in, that would influence my decision on what to recommend.
As has already been mentioned, there are a number of bars along Dewdney Ave between Albert St and Broad St (some are north of Dewdney in this area) which are popular. (Soho, McNally's Tavern, The Crooked Cue, Bushwakker for starters) Brewster's on Vic Ave East is also a popular hangout. Although they never had much of a dance floor when I lived there. The 4 Seasons is usually a lot of fun, it's a smaller venue on Park St and Vic east. Also on the east side is the Pump - which is a country spot. I can't believe it's still popular after all these years. They have live entertainment and it's usually very good.
In the south end, the Travelodge on Albert South used to have a big, rockin bar with a big dance floor. ( I used to work there.)
There are also some fun places in the northwest, but that is probably quite a bit out of your way.
Regina is such a fun city - it's small and people are really friendly there - so you shouldn't have a problem with meeting some folks and having some fun, no matter where you decide to go. One thing, though - stay AWAY from the Plains on Albert and Vic!!! (You probably already know that it isn't a good spot to hang out.)
If you are looking for a great place to eat, consider Houston Pizza on Hill Avenue, Simply Delicious on Victoria (just east of the downtown area - great breakfasts!), the Copper Kettle downtown on Scarth, or Golf's Steakhouse downtown on Vic.
I hope that helps.

Mimi, I like your definition of success! I have a plaque at the Jekyll house that states " remember the small things for somday you'll realize they are the big things". ..... :-)
Those sure are some bright looking dragon tails Jill!! (Friendly ones of course!) Thanks for the fun.
Love it, bright and fun, and to me that means success!
Hi, Josie. Indeed, it does have an illusion of moving outward! It is good to hear from you, my dear! ((Hugs))
Mornin' darlin', thank you, at first I thought hypnotic, nah, then I tried to look into the center, and decided not to go any further, because it really looked like the outer limits were close at hand. Love and blessings, Josie
You are most welcome, dear one! You beat me by 5seconds, my friend, lol!
Good fun.... All 3:32 of it.... Big Dittos on the bright.... Used two pairs of sunnies solving this beauty..... Thanks Jill.... :) :)
Thanks, whatnauts! I think this ma y be the brightest of all, thus "hypnotic". .... :-)
Terrific puzzle - love the brightness. Reminds me of some of the swirls you used to post. Have a wonderful weekend.
Lol, I agree with that! Thanks for the chuckle!
My word, that was bright!
Hi Barb! I'm glad you liked the color and had fun with the solve! Maybe if we cling together and refuse to budge, we'll stay on the board, lol!
Very colourful spiral, Jill. Fun to solve and I even matched your time (3:37). :-))

Time to fix your mortgage for five years
Homeowners are adopting a safety-first approach and locking into fixed-rate mortgages in record numbers — many for five years or more.
Amid a flurry of housing data over the past week, all of it pointing towards a strengthening house price recovery, was the fact that 86 per cent of new mortgages taken out in June were fixed. The Council of Mortgage Lenders says this is the highest level for at least 20 years, and indicates the glut of cheap deals that are currently on offer.
Two-year fixed rates are the most eye-catching, with rates now as low as 1.48 per cent. However, paying a few percentage points extra to secure your rate for five years or more could mean greater savings in the long run.
