High school football: Delavan-Darien wins suspended game
DELAVAN—Jesse Collins continues to impress.
The Delavan-Darien senior quarterback threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Comets to a 37-13 nonconference win Saturday over Walworth Big Foot.
The game was suspended in the third quarter Friday night due to lightning with Delavan-Darien leading 14-7.
The Comets scored 23 unanswered points Saturday to pull away. Alex Grover caught back-to-back TD passes from Collins to make it 28-7, and Fabias Shipman's 30-yard touchdown run pushed the lead to 35-7.
Delavan-Darien took an early 7-0 lead Friday night on sophomore Jake Benzing's 3-yard run, but Big Foot (1-1) tied the game on Nigel Manning's 23-yard touchdown pass from Brett Morris.
The Comets took a 14-7 halftime lead when sophomore Ethan Cesarz caught a 63-yard scoring strike from Collins.
Collins finished 16-for-23 for 255 yards and added 62 yards rushing.
Delavan-Darien is 2-0 heading into Friday's Southern Lakes opener at Wilmot.

What do you do once you retire? Why become a member of the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel, of course.
Or at least that what Sam Sorich did. The president of the Association of California Insurance Companies for the past 25 years, Sorich retired in 2010 and started looking around for interesting things to do. Then something caught his eye. The Internal Revenue Service needed volunteers to serve on a panel that would recommend how to improve customer service.
After going through an interview and background check in 2011, Sorich was appointed to the panel by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury along with 26 other people. The El Dorado Hills man will serve for three years in the uncompensated position. He expects to put in about 500 hours each year over the next three years. This will consist mainly of conference calls, e-mail exchanges, readings, and two in-person panel meetings each year.
The Taxpayer Advocacy Panel consists of 100 members drawn from across the country. It is divided into 10 subcommittees, with each subcommittee tackling different issues.
"We don't recommend legislative changes," he said. "We also don't advocate on behalf of individuals who have questions about their taxes."
What they are charged with falls into three main areas: recommending improvements in how the IRS deals with consumers; recommending changes to publications and written materials; and improving how the IRS educates taxpayers on how to prepare their taxes, get refunds, and related subjects.
In line with this, Sorich is interested in getting feedback from people in these areas. "I hope to talk to as many people and groups as possible so I can try and identify issues that can be addressed by changes at the IRS."
People can also send complaints or recommendations to his e-mail address, [email protected]. Comments should have something to do with system changes rather than problems people may have with personal taxes.
For those with individual tax problems Sorich suggested calling the local Taxpayer Advocate Office. That number is (916) 974-5007.

Hi everyone,
I have problem with environment variables. How to change them that fortran would work with abaqus 6.2
If you are not linking from the command line, then environment variables don't matter. If you are using the command line, make sure that the LIB variable contains the path to the ..DF98LIB folder.

Arrays and vectors
Okay first things first. I could have used an array of CSeatSections but then you would be limited to a definite size. And I'm supposing you know it would look like this in the class:
And to create the section you would do this:Code:
CSeatSection *SeatSections;
If you don't know what new is, it's this:Code:
void CSeatSection::Create(void)
SeatSections=new CSeatSection[NumSeatSections];
CSeatSection = malloc(NumSeatSections*sizeof(CSeatSection));
But C++ has the keyword new that automatically does this for us so we don't have to use malloc anymore, but the underlying code is using malloc for it's memory allocation function.
So an integer array looks like this:
But you cannot specify a variable size array inside of a class. You must specify a size or you must create the array storage later - in other words you must use a pointer in the class and then validate the pointer later. Have you ever tried to resize an array? It's a pain in the arse. Watch.Code:
int *MyArray;
MyArray=new int[1000];
Let's say we have an integer array called Bubba with 20 elements with each element having a value between 0 and 100.
Ok, but we just found out we need Bubba to have way more elements. How do we resize Bubba and yet maintain the data that was in it already? We must first create a new array with the new size, copy the contents of Bubba over to our new array, de-allocate the storage for the previous array, and then point Bubba at the new array all the while avoiding a NULL pointer situation.Code:
int *Bubba;
Bubba=new int[20];
for(int i=0;i<20;i++)
Bubba[i]=rand() % 100;
And what if we want to remove an item from Bubba? Same process. What if we want to sort Bubba, or add values to Bubba, insert values in Bubba, etc., etc? It all quickly becomes a big pain in the arse.
Along comes the awesome standard template library and a class called vector. A vector is a dynamic array that supports dynamic resizing, sorting, inserting, deleting, etc., etc. And you get to access it almost exactly like an array, excluding certain cases. So here is a vector. The reason for the jiggy notation is due to the fact that it is a template class. I won't attempt to explain template classes here because there are many books out there that do a much better job at it than I would. But here is how you declare a vector.
Vectors lie in the std namespace. If you don't specify you are using the std namespace by doing:
Then you must declare the vector this way using the scope resolution operator. Note that the scope resolution operator is the same on you use to declare and define functions for classes. You are stating that the function belongs to a certain namespace or object in the case of classes.Code:
using namespace std;
I put the pointer in brackets because it is not always required. There are classes and objects that allow immediate creation by just calling the constructor. All of my objects are this way. They all have a default constructor that takes 0 parameters. However some classes are not like this - for instance, DirectX COM objects cannot be instantiated because they are pointers to interfaces, therefore the vector must be a pointer to the interfaces, not the actual interface itself.Code:
std::vector<data_type[*]> MyVector;
To add an item to the vector we do:
Consult a C++ book or your IDE's help file for all of the functions related to vectors. You'll find they are quite handy. Given the fact that most programming requirements often use lists, arrays, maps, etc,. the standard template library is simply a god send. You should never have to write code to do a linked list again ever in your life. The STL can take care of it. Plus the linked list you come up with will not be nearly as fast, efficient, or well-tested as the STL version. Don't reinvent the wheel - use the tools provided to you. They save you time and a lot of headaches.Code:
Data types
Now for DWORD. It's an assembly language data type.
The following are ALWAYS true no matter what the default integer for the CPU is.
BYTE = 8 bits
WORD = 16 bits
DWORD = 32 bits
QWORD = 64 bits (I think)
Now the reason I use these. Simplicity. Back in the old DOS days and when we were all confined to 16-bit programming (the CPU ran in real mode) this was a 16-bit integer.
But since the defintion of a computer's bit depth (16, 32, 64, etc) is based on the default size of an integer all this has changed now with 32-bit CPU's and now 64-bit CPU's as well.Code:
unsigned int x=20;
On a 16-bit computer, an integer is 16 bits. On a 32-bit system, 32-bits for an integer, and on a 64-bit, 64-bits for an integer.
Here is where I think some languages really screwed up. They have changed the size of integer several times in order to match the bit depth of the computer. So while unsigned int used to be 16 bits in DOS real mode, it is now 32-bits. So every time you see UINT or unsigned int, it's 32-bits. On a 64-bit OS, an integer will default to 64-bits. So you see the problem? The size of an integer is relative to the system it's running on and if the OS is in real mode or protected mode, etc. That is a huge mess.
So I opt to use the assembly language data types because they NEVER change. A BYTE is always 8 bits and so forth. This allows me as an avid assembly programmer to look at my code and IF I want to put the function into assembly or add an assembly function, I know exactly what I'm dealing with.
Now it's not all that hard anymore because everyone running Windows 98+ is using 32-bit integers. In 16-bit mode, an unsigned short was still 16-bits just like an unsigned int and their signed counterparts. Now what has happened in 32-bit mode is an unsigned short is 16-bits, and unsigned int is 32-bits, and an unsigned long is 32-bits.
I'll break down the common C data types and their assembly counterpart
16-bit system
- unsigned/signed char - BYTE - 8 bits
- unsigned/signed short - WORD - 16 bits
- unsigned/signed int - WORD - 16 bits
- unsigned/signed long - DWORD - 32 bits
- float - QWORD - 32 bits (in assembly you must use a QWORD for a float or double)
- double - QWORD - 64 bits
- long double - QWORD - 80 bits
32-bit system
- unsigned/signed char - BYTE - 8 bits
- unsigned/signed short - WORD - 16 bits
- unsigned/signed int - DWORD - 32 bits
- unsigned/signed long - DWORD - 32 bits
- float - QWORD - 32 bits (in assembly you must use a QWORD for a float or double)
- double - QWORD - 64 bits
- long double - QWORD - 80 bits
So if you see this:
On a 32-bit system it's this:Code:
DWORD x=some_value;
Note that even though a value might be negative or positive does not change the bit depth of the data type. It just means that 1 bit is being used as the sign bit, but it still uses all the bits - however you lose quite a bit of the value range that can be represented because one of the bits represents the sign. In assembly there is no such thing as signed or unsigned - they are just BYTE, WORD, DWORD, QWORD, etc. or byte, word, doubleword, quadword.Code:
unsigned long x=some_value;
Function return values in the code
The functions in the code I provided return false or zero IF they SUCCEED.
The functions in the code I provided return true or one IF they FAIL.
My commentsCode:
bool GetSeatInfo(DWORD ID, int Row, int Col, Seat *outSeat)
bool failed=SeatSections[ID]->GetSeatInfo(Row,Col,outSeat);
return true;
}else return false;
return true;
Okay. The reason there are 2 checks here is this. There are 2 possible errors that can be created here.Code:
bool GetSeatInfo(DWORD ID, int Row, int Col, Seat *outSeat)
//Check to see if the seat section ID is valid
//Basically since the ID is the index of the CSeatSection in the
//vector, if the ID is out of range - the ID is invalid and
//the seat section does not exist
//Call the CSeatSection member GetSeatInfo
//Use CSeatSection[ID]'s GetSeatInfo to get the correct seat
//failed will be true if the seat is out of range or does not exist
//and outSeat will ALSO be NULL indicating failure
//failed will be false if the seat exists, and outSeat will be the
//requested seat info
bool failed=SeatSections[ID]->GetSeatInfo(Row,Col,outSeat);
outSeat=NULL; //Failed - something went wrong
return true; //return failure code to caller
} else return false; //Everthing went ok
outSeat=NULL; //if we get here, then ID was out of range
return true; //return failure to caller
1. An out of range ID could be passed to the function.
2. An out of range row or column or both could be passed to the function.
Both of these would cause the function to do some strange stuff and cause Windows to pop up some nice dialog boxes stating your code got hosed if we didn't do some error checking. Accessing an object in a vector that does not exist will cause major problems - it's akin to an array-bounds overrun or underrun. Now inside of CSeatSection the seats ARE in an array. If either row or column is out of range it will cause the offset to lie outside of the array. This will be an array bounds overrun and will crash the code.
This is a simple formula to access row-ordered arrays. This is also useful for accessing video displays, surfaces, etc. In memory all arrays are just huge blocks of memory or small blocks of memory. They are not 2D, 3D, 4D, etc. They are 1D - like a bunch of mailboxes lined up along a highway or a huge line of numbers.
So let's do a tic tac toe board. We know tic tac toe board have 3 across and 3 down. So this will do in C:
Now in memory it's this:Code:
int TicTacToeBoard[3][3];
int value=0;
for (int i=0;i<3;i++)
for (int j=0;j<3;j++)
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Even though we specified it like this:
0 1 2
3 4 5
6 7 8
It's still linear in memory. And we already discussed the issue of forcing the compiler to do a multiply for 2D arrays. So make your arrays linear. The tic tac toe board has 9 locations. So this is the same thing:
I know that doesn't require braces but I always put loops in braces for code readability. You can tell at a glance that TicTacToeBoard is being initialized inside of the loop. I like that.Code:
int TicTacToeBoard[9];
int value=0;
for (int i=0;i<9;i++)
Okay we still have this in memory:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Same thing as before. But let's say we want to find the value at TicTacToeBoard[1][1]. With a 2D array we just read the value.
But how do you do it in a 1D array? Simple. We know each row has 3 positions. So we take the row and multiply by the width. That gives us the right row. Now for the column, we simply add it.Code:
int result=TicTacToeBoard[1][1];
So TicTacToeBoard[1][1] is really:
TicTacToeBoard[(1*3)+1) or index 4. Let's see if that works.
..w...... 0 1 2
..0.........0 1 2
..1........ 3 4 5
..2.... ....6 7 8
Yep index 4 equates to 1,1 in the grid.
So our equation to access a linear array using 2 dimensions is:
This only applies to row-ordered arrays. Some are column ordered in which case column*width+row is used.
GetSeatInfo is in CSeatSection and in CAuditorium
This is a design flaw, but it's needed I feel in this case. I'm trying to create a centralized interface for accessing seats. Ideally every seat request should go through CAuditorium and then the request will be passed on to CSeatSection. All of the members of CSeatSection should be private including the constructor. Then make CAuditorium a friend of CSeatSection so that it can instantiate the object. After that, no one is allowed access to CSeatSection except for CAuditorium. This guarantees that all data requests, changes, etc, will have to go through CAuditorium. This is a nice design because you the programmer can prevent you, or other programmers, from incorrectly using your classes. So CAuditorium becomes the central interface for all seat sections. Just like CSeatSection is the central interface for all seats in it's section.
I'm hiding the actual implementation of retrieving seat information and changing it. Everything that can be done must be done through CAuditorium. This is a design philosophy that I've picked up along the way and so far it has done me very well. If you notice CAuditorium is really a stupid class. All it really does is manage a vector of CSeatSections and acts as a wrapper class to a vector. That's exactly what I want.
Notice that when CAuditorium goes out of scope or ceases to exist, the compiler will create code to call the destructor. The destructor calls vector::empty() which will then call the destructor for every object in the vector. Now in the destructor for CSeatSection, notice it then de-allocates it's memory that was used for the array of seats. A nice clean shutdown and a nice centralized shut down process. This allows me to directly control how my object shuts down and when. Using this method it is easier to debug memory leaks when and if they happen. You can trace the entire shutdown process rather quickly and find the problem. This class would be even safer using the <shared_ptr> from www.boost.org. This is a 'smart' pointer that really helps you the programmer stop leaking memory. I'd look into it.
Memory leaks are those nasty critters you call tech support about when it just hosed your 6 hours of gameplay in your favorite RPG or racing game because it finally crashed the game. Memory leaks are your number one enemy and they are not as easy to avoid as you might think. Hopefully future generations of C++ will implement a 'smart' pointer that will greatly assist the programmer with these types of issues.
Translating mouse to array offset
Ok I've just given you enough information to be able to click on your grid with the mouse and calculate which seat and which section the user is clicking on.
Let's say you display one seat section on screen at a time. So 1 grid represent one array of seats. You already know row*width+column=offset_into_array right? So all you need to figure this out is where in the grid did the user click? Pretty simply really. You will know the x and y location of the mouse and all you need to do is transform that into row and column. How? Well if you know the width and height of each grid cell then this will give you the row and column of the mouse cursor, provided your grid starts at (0,0) on the screen or in the upper left corner. You can compute it for other starting points with just a bit more math, but I'll leave that to you.
Ok now you know the size of your grid so the following can be checked:Code:
int Row=MouseCursorY/HeightOfOneGridCell;
int Column=MouseCursorX/WidthOfOneGridCell;
if (Row>HeightOfGrid || Row<0 || Column<0 || Column>WidthOfGrid)
//User did not click on our grid at all - clicked outside of it
int Offset=Row*WidthOfGrid+Column;
Seat *temp;
//Since we checked row and column and we know
//CurrentSeatSectionID is valid because we have already drawn
// the thing, the following function CANNOT fail
//Output text relating to seat that was clicked on
//I'd put this output stuff in another function and call it from here
if (DayTime)
} else DrawText(x,y,temp->NightCustomer);
//...etc, etc., etc.
Creating 392 seats
Ok if you want 392 seats you have several choices. You can either create one seat section of 392 or you can divide this up into several sections. The choice is up to you.
Here is how you would do it:
To get 392 seats you need to decide on a width and a height. I did not provide a function to just create 392 seats since I never figured they would all be in one row. That's a helluva long row of seats. Most seats like in baseball parks, etc, all have a section, row, and column number - or at least a section and seat number.
For your purposes...identifying each seat by row and column is up to you. The code doesn't change really. Just eliminate the row and column and stick a number there. Then create a vector of that size. Then in GetSeatInfo and SetSeatInfo change the code to just use the seat number passed instead of computing the offset from the row and column of the desired seat.
To create an Auditorium with 1 section of 400 seats.
Now all future access to the seat section would be through SeatSectionID.Code:
CAuditorium *TheAuditorium=new CAuditorium;
DWORD SeatSectionID=TheAuditorium->Create(20,20);
To get information about seat at 10,10 or seat #100.
Hope this helps.Code:
temp Seat;
I figured a lot of this grid stuff out by years of coding and years of practice. Plus I'm working on a 2D tile engine in D3D and a tile editor in MFC. Here is an example. I'm doing basically the same exact thing I just explained to you.
Don't you meanCode:
CAuditorium *TheAuditorium=new CAuditorium;
DWORD SeatSectionID=TheAuditorium->Create(20,20);
I get this error with the first oneCode:
CAuditorium *TheAuditorium=new CAuditorium;
DWORD SeatSectionID=TheAuditorium->CreateSeatSection(20,20);
am I correct in making it CreateSeatSection?Code:

BTW, we calculated about 50,000 mathematical operations per frame with our program.... Teehee, we're so silly!
we're in the process of reducing it :d
we did a 3 * 3 * 14 * 28, about 15-20 times, then multiply that by the amount of mathematical operations it takes to move thru the matrix, about 3 or 4?
turns out to be around 47000 + or -
EDIT: Redid math, makes it about 220,000 mathematical operations (mostly multiplication, which bores down to multiple addition problems)

Column - Twins need Cliff Lee
That collective groan you hear around Minnesota these days is coming from the 40,000-plus fans that pack Target Field every night who expect this to be the year the Twins do more than just win the Central Division.
The Twins are in the midst of a rough stretch of play that saw them drop out of first place after a 7-5 loss to Detroit on Monday night. They rebounded nicely with two straight wins to salvage the series and regain the division lead. It is a lead that has shrunk from 4.5 games in early June to just 1.5 after Wednesday afternoon's win.
That the Twins finished 12-15 in June and watched the Central Division become a three-team race with Chicago's resurgence is not the problem. Every team goes through rough stretches in a 162-game season. It is how the Twins have lost that has raised some red flags.
The biggest question mark coming into the season was the starting rotation. The lack of a true ace was something many thought would keep them from advancing past the first round of the playoffs. It is beginning to look more and more like it may prevent them from even winning the AL Central.
Scott Baker, Kevin Slowey and Nick Blackburn are supposed to be steady if not spectacular. Instead, the three have been up and down all season, combining to allow 332 hits in 271 1/3 innings.
All three have teased the organization with stretches of strong play. Blackburn has pitched great in big games. Baker has looked the part of a No. 2 starter and Slowey has painted corners so precisely that his control has been compared to that of Tom Glavine.
The problem has been consistency. All three pitchers have had plenty of time in the Big Leagues to establish themselves. Maybe it is time to acknowledge them by what their body of work suggests they are - No. 3 or 4 starters with an ERA that will always be between 4 and 5.
That might be good enough to win the Central Division, but it will not get the Twins out of the first round against one of the giants of the East.
That leaves the Twins in a precarious position leading up to the July 31 trade deadline. Should they go against everything they have ever stood for and trade promising prospects for a front-line starter?
Many names have been thrown out there - Fausto Carmona, Brian Bannister, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt - but only one of those names makes sense. Lee is the only available starter who offers the Twins a legitimate chance of competing with the likes of New York or Boston in the playoffs. Anyone else would just be more of what the Twins already have.
Lee is available and the Twins have the assets to get him. Wilson Ramos will never be an ideal fit in Minnesota because he plays the same position as the guy they just signed to a $184 million contract. A package of Ramos, any major-league ready starter not named Francisco Liriano or Carl Pavano and a lower-level prospect or two should get the job done.
Lee has proven in the past to be well worth the gamble. Philadelphia acquired him near the trade deadline last year from Cleveland for four prospects. Lee went on to dominate the 2010 playoffs with a 4-0 record and a 1.56 ERA. He picked up the only two wins the Phillies had against the Yankees in the World Series. That should be incentive enough for the Twins to make a move for him.
When Ron Gardenhire was recruiting Orlando Hudson in the off-season, he assured the second baseman that the Twins were not looking to win division titles, they were looking to win a World Series. This is the team's best chance to prove that to the fans that have already bought more than 3 million tickets at Target Field this season.
A rotation of Lee, Liriano and Pavano to throw at the Yankees in October? I think Gardenhire would take his chances with those three. History says it won't happen. Present circumstances say it needs to happen.

Veterans honoredat Village at Palmerton brunch and gala
Special to the TIMES NEWS Veteran Blaise Schweibinz, U.S. Navy, retired, is visited by Sue Anthony, of the Ladies Auxiliary of Oplinger Hower Post 899, Walnutport. The organization recently presented those residents who are veterans at the Village at Palmerton, with gifts in honor of their service to our country.
They were treated to a hearty breakfast, fun-loving entertainment, and impassioned accounts of wartime experiences.
There was something for everyone at the fourth annual Veteran Honorary Brunch and Entertainment Gala, held earlier this month at the Village at Palmerton.
Those who attended were treated to a wide variety of breakfast fare. Afterward, attendees gathered in front of the fireplace to hear speaker David Altrichter, U.S. Navy, retired, who served during the Vietnam War as a Fireman Machine Repair.
Altrichter paid tribute to his fellow veterans who risked their lives for ours. When he finished, everyone was treated to entertainer Hal Brister, who sang lively tunes from the era.
Norma Kunkel, director of Marketing and Admissions at The Village, said the event had a "fantastic turnout."
"There were over 30 members of the community who attended, as well as resident veterans," Kunkel said. "It was wonderful to see familiar faces gather in honor of their service to our country."
Kunkel said that the following day, the Village hosted a "Patriotic Tribute" for its residents, courtesy of Joe Dittmar, who is a 9/11 Twin Towers collapse survivor.
Just this past weekend, Kunkel said the Ladies Auxiliary of Oplinger Hower Post 899, Walnutport, visited the Village to present those residents who are veterans with gifts in honor of their service to our country.
The Village at Palmerton is a personal care home that provides individualized personal care services addressing the physical, social and spiritual needs of each resident.

As Pope Benedict XVI makes his first visit to Africa, the charity Aid to the Church in Need has highlighted both its own work and the growth of Catholicism on the continent, calling the Church Africa's "best hope" for peace.
According to a press release from Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), the charity's project support has grown more in Africa than in most other continents, especially over the past three years, as the charity responds to a "vocations boom" and increasing numbers of Catholics.
The charity says its work is concentrating on Christian education as well as religious and human formation for clergy and laity. ACN believes these efforts are crucial in the quest to break Africa's "cycle of violence."
"The Church in Africa – with growing numbers of priests and a more committed laity – is undoubtedly the best hope for a continent that for some people represents nothing but injustice, bloodshed and despair," said Regina Lynch, ACN projects director.
According to recent audited figures, the charity has paid out about $574,000 for projects in Angola and about $715,000 for projects in Cameroon. Its overall expenditures in Africa total more than $18.1 million.
Calling support for vocations "crucial," Lynch explained that ACN has increased its commitment to help both seminarians and religious Sisters.
"For ACN it is not only a question of quantity but of quality and we are working with religious superiors in vocations discernment and formation," she said.
She also underlined the group's work with laity in promoting Christian family values, AIDS prevention and other pro-life initiatives.
"ACN's increasing work in Africa is a response to the amount of life and energy in the Church – its struggle to rebuild respect for human dignity, develop paths towards reconciliation and give young people a chance for a better life," she reported.
The inculcation of Christian values such as love and forgiveness is critical, she said, noting that ACN's Child Bible has now been distributed across 46 African countries in 64 different languages.
Reconciliation initiatives are also key to the charity's work. One example the group cites is its support for the Marian shrine in Kibeho, Rwanda, which is seen as helping the country to heal the wounds of its civil conflict.
ACN has also sponsored projects such as Save the Savable schools for children in Khartoum, Sudan which with other projects assists those parts of Africa affected by the spread of Islam.
"Sadly, fundamentalism is reaching deep into the continent and in some countries the future of Christianity is on a knife-edge," Lynch said. "Violence, poverty and extremism in regions such as eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe and Sudan have fundamentally assaulted the dignity of the human person – their values, their sense of right and wrong, their sense of community and their trust in God. If these scars are to heal, the Church needs our support."

Mike IV was born at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida, on May 15, 1974.
He was originally named Jerry. Thanks to a lot of work by the Tiger
Booster Club and Jack Gilmore, Mike IV was donated to LSU on August
27, 1976, by August A. Busch III of Busch Gardens. The two year old,
450 pound tiger arrived at LSU on August 29, 1976.
Mike spent the summer of 1981 at the Little Rock
Zoo while his enclosure was being expanded from four hundred to eleven
hundred square feet. When the expansion was completed it took Mike IV
a while to adjust to his higher style of living. For the first few weeks Mike
was very wary of his swimming pool. After about a week, however, he
came to love getting in his pool.
One of the most famous incidents involving Mike IV occurred on
November 28, 1981. About 1:00am, Dr. Bivin got a call from the LSU
police. "Mike's out," they said. "Mike who?" he asked. The police
responded, "Mike the tiger. He's out in the middle of North Stadium
Drive." It seems some pranksters had cut the chain to the outer door
and the lock to the inner door, releasing the dangerous cat. Mike was
wandering around the north end of the Pete
Maravich Assembly Center. He ended up in
the Bernie Moore Track Stadium. Mike attacked a small tree along the
way and appeared to be enjoying himself. After three tranquilizers, Mike
was returned to his cage and awoke the next morning with no ill effects.
Mike IV reigned for fourteen years at LSU and retired to the Baton Rouge
Zoo in April 1990. He was put to sleep on March 3, 1995 due to health
complications. His life span of twenty years, nine months, and eighteen
days is considered extremely long for a captive tiger.

Running back Cedric Benson meets with Packers
Free agent running back Cedric Benson visited the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday, April 24.
No signing has been made official, but Benson sent out a Tweet Wednesday afternoon that read: "Wonderful meeting with the pack! Never thought I'd say it felt good to be in Green Bay!"
Last season, Benson ran for 248 yards on 51 carries in five games for the Packers before Benson suffered a Lisfranc foot injury against the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 7.
Saine fails physical
The Green Bay Packers waived running back Brandon Saine Wednesday morning after he failed his physical.
Saine is trying to come back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered last season during the Packers game in Houston against the Texans.
Brewers streak comes to an end
The Milwaukee Brewers winning streak ended mired in controversy Wednesday night in San Diego, casting a shadow over an old-fashioned pitchers' duel.
Trailing 2-0 entering the ninth inning, the Brewers got a run off Padres closer Huston Street in the ninth following back-to-back two-out doubles from Carlos Gomez and Yuniesky Betancourt. However, Martin Maldonado was called out for batter's interference for supposedly running into his own chopper in front of the plate.
Replays showed the call was erroneous, but nevertheless, the Padres emerged with a 2-1 victory.
San Diego's Edinson Volquez, given the lead on Carlos Quentin's solo homer, surrendered just five hits, did not walk a batter and induced 13 ground ball outs.
Marco Estrada (2-1) was saddled with the loss despite a solid effort. He tossed 6 1/3 innings and allowed two runs, one earned, on five hits and two walks.
The Brewers are idle Thursday before beginning a three-game weekend series in Los Angeles on Friday night.
NASCAR penalized Wisconsin native Matt Kenseth
NASCAR handed down severe penalties to Cambridge native Matt Kenseth's No. 20 team in the Sprint Cup Series on Wednesday for failing post-race engine inspection following last Sunday's event at Kansas Speedway.
Kenseth, who won the 400-mile race at Kansas, was penalized with a loss of 50 points.
His crew chief, Jason Ratcliff, has been fined $200,000, suspended from NASCAR competition for six points-paying races, as well as next month's all-star event (non-points), and placed on probation until Dec. 31. Car owner Joe Gibbs was docked 50 points as well.
Furthermore, Kenseth's win at Kansas will not earn him bonus points toward eligibility and seeding for this year's Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. A driver who qualifies for the Chase is awarded three bonus points for each of his or her wins during the 26-race regular season.
Those bonus points are added to the accumulated aggregate driver points total (2,000) following the conclusion of the Sept. 7 event at Richmond International Raceway.
Kenseth's win at Kansas is also not credited towards the eligibility for a driver wild card position in the playoffs.

A DISCOUNT supermarket giant failed in its bid to win planning approval for a new outlet at a former South Tyneside garage site.
Aldi had hoped to create 20 new jobs at a store in Albert Road, Jarrow.
But members of the council's planning committee rejected the application yesterday – after being told it endangered the livelihood of 40 existing workers employed in vehicle-related businesses on the site.
Planners would have preferred the store to be located in Hebburn town centre, where a major revamp is to be launched this year.
Aldi bosses dismissed that request over claims the premises would be too close to its Pelaw outlet.
Labour's Alan Kerr, who represents Monkton, said: "It would be much more suitable in Hebburn town centre."
Coun Mark Walsh, Labour for Horsley Hill, added: "Hebburn town centre offers an excellent opportunity for any supermarket chain."
Simon Plumb, property director with Aldi, said Albert Road was the "only choice".
He added: "There is no site in Jarrow or Hebburn centres that are commercially viable.
"This will create 20 secure, long-term jobs and increase customer choice and reduce travel costs."
Conservative Coun Jeff Milburn, who represents Cleadon and East Boldon, said: "There are 40 people currently employed on the site.
"I have had e-mails from people supporting this development, but in purely economic terms it would lead to 20 people losing their jobs."

General Question
If my fiancé hit a dog with his car, who is responsible to pay for his car's damages?
While driving to work a few weeks ago my fiancé hit and killed a dog. It was still dark out so visibility was low. The dog ran across the road and he had no time to stop. My fiancé went up to the only house that was around and knocked on the door. It turned out to be their pet. The lady said it was her fault she let out the dog to go potty in the backyard and thought she could trust him. But it crossed the road and it was on it's way back to their house when my fiancé hit it. Although sad, the owners offered to pay for the damages to his car after the holidays were over and they took his name and phone number. We still haven't received a phone call. His car is driveable but he's had to replace his headlight and is currently driving around with a cracked side panel and a bumper that is hanging. He feels horrible for killing their dog but feels like it was their responsibilty to keep their dog on their property. And they did offer to pay for repairs. So what should our next move be? Is it really their responsibilty? Or are we screwed? Should we try contacting them and give them an estimate? Any legal information is appreciated. Thanks!

Team industries in DL receives $33,687 in energy rebates
Minnesota Energy Resources' Ted Geeser, district manager, and Marc Jimmerson, account manager, presented TEAM Industries Detroit Lakes Plant Manager Gary Vaudrin with a rebate check in the amount of $33,687.00.
The rebates were given for efficiency improvements made to equipment at TEAM Industries' foundry and aluminum die casting facility located at 1551 Richwood Road, Detroit Lakes.
TEAM worked with Franklin Energy, an engineering firm specializing in the implementation of energy efficiency, to identify and implement the project, which involved updates to one of the foundry's aluminum melting furnaces.
The updates included the removal of the old refractory lining - the heat-resistant protective coating on the inside of the furnace; installation and sintering of a new refractor lining; and inspection of the entire furnace.
Though the improvements cost over $67,000, Franklin Energy estimates that the reconditioned furnace should save more than 29,000 therms - or 2.9 billion BTUs per year. That represents an energy cost savings of almost $17,000 annually.
The rebate is part of Minnesota Energy Resources' Commercial & Industrial Turn-Key Efficiency Program, a program designed to help customers who use over 100,000 therms per year.

(Page 2 of 2)
the industry's most valuable companies on the strength of one super-expensive antibody drug for patients with a disease that hardly anybody has ever heard of:Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). While Genzyme is the company everybody looks to as the trailblazer in the rare disease drug development field, Alexion has also set an example that many rare disease-focused startups want to follow.
—Cubist Pharmaceuticals. Never heard of Cubist? It's another company that made its name selling a single product, daptomycin (Cubicin). The Lexington, MA-based company (NASDAQ: CBST) has been around 20 years, and has made its living selling a potent antibiotic used to fight tough-to-treat infections in hospitals. This isn't a consumer product you'll ever see advertised on TV. Cubist rode this horse to $736 million in sales last year, which has enabled the company to join the small fraternity of profitable biotech companies. If Cubist can deliver some new antibiotics from its pipeline, that could be a good thing for its shareholders, and for public health. But given how antibiotics are taken for granted in this country—even though drug-resistant superbugs are a cause for concern—don't expect to hear people scream from the rooftops about success even if Cubist can deliver a couple more Cubicins.
—Halozyme Therapeutics (NASDAQ: HALO). This San Diego-based company says on the "Who We Are" part of its web page that it is "a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing products targeting the extracellular matrix for the diabetes, oncology, dermatology, and drug delivery markets." If you haven't fallen asleep already, the company keeps going, trying to explain that its technology offers "a novel drug delivery platform designed to increase the absorption and dispersion of biologics." Drug delivery companies by their nature tend to do the behind-the-scenes grunt work to make drugs more effective, so they tend not to be nearly as glamorous as drugmakers. Yet this company makes a modest amount of revenue from licenses, enough to support a $1 billion market valuation.
—NewLink Genetics. This Ames, IA based company (NASDAQ: NLNK) starts out with a pretty big strike against it, coming from the Midwest, which many on the coasts dismiss as flyover country. My first guess on hearing the name was that it was some kind of crop biotech company. But it's actually focused on the currently buzzy business of cancer immunotherapy. The company has more than doubled since its November IPO, from $7 a share to more than $15.93 at Friday's close. And yet this company still can't buy some attention.
"Nobody seems to know about NewLink or even care," says Brad Loncar, an independent investor in Lenexa, KS, by email. "Even on days when it has made a nice jump, there is virtually zero chatter about it." On a website for investors called StockTwits, Loncar says NewLink has three followers, compared to Dendreon's 645, and Oncothyreon's 228. The company doesn't have Phase III data to support its work yet, but its stock has been moving in the right direction.

It was great to meet up with Josh & Lauren recently for an engagement shoot at Fawsley Park & Hall in Northamptonshire. Fawsley Park is a lovely location with some wonderful walks, great views and history.
Sadly it was not a warm summer day when we met up but a very cold February morning and we struggled to stay warm. We started off by walking round the grounds of Fawsley Hall and took some nice shots. They were both natural and relaxed in front of the camera, which was great. After walking round the grounds of Fawsley Hall we walked down towards the lake and church. We soon realised that it was just too cold to carry on. Lauren was struggling to stay warm so we headed to the church for shelter before heading back.
It was lovely to meet up with them both and I look forward to their wedding later on in the year at Dodford Manor, just outside Daventry.
Talk to you soon.

Deion Barnes, a 6-foot-5, 220-pound defensive end from Philadelphia (Pa.) Northeast, is quietly picking up scholarship offers, and his latest is a big one.
On Tuesday the junior from eastern Pennsylvania received some good news from a school that commands a lot of respect on the college football scene.
Penn State has now extended an offer to the talented pass rusher.
Article Continues Below
"Yes sir, it's true," Barnes confirmed to Rivals.com late Tuesday afternoon. "I found out today. My coach gave me the letter. It came as a surprise. I'm really excited about it."
Barnes has not visited Penn State yet but he said he hopes to do so within the next few weeks. At the latest he will be there by August, he noted.
While Penn State figures to be a major player in Barnes' recruitment it's hardly a one-horse race. In fact, when asked if he has any favorites he mentioned one school outside the region before clarifying that he is still interested in everyone.
"I don't really have any favorites but I do like South Carolina a lot," Barnes said. "Actually I like everybody that's talking to me."
Barnes also has an offer from Pitt. He said he sees himself waiting things out for a while and taking his official visits in the fall before he makes his decision.
He said he has been receiving a lot of attention from Rutgers, Florida and Georgia as well. Barnes plans on attending Michigan's spring game.

If you had a personal belonging stolen in the Village of Oakfield over the past year, chances are the alleged thief involved has been arrested.
The Genesee County Sheriff's Office announced the arrest of 18-year-old Dalton Long, who currently lives in Caledonia.
He was jailed on $15,000 cash bail. Long is facing 10 charges so far including three felony charges of grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property and identity theft.
Deputies say Long had been stealing items from cars overnight since January 2013.
The sheriff's office says the investigation is ongoing and additional charges are pending.
There was another arrest this week for someone accused of stealing items from unlocked cars in the Village of Oakfield, so remember to lock those doors.

I don't feel so good right now, so I'm trying to distract myself with a combination of Big Bang Theory, Steepster, and pineberry honeybush. I think it's helping a little. This is a classic fruity honeybush, the pineapple pops out at me the most out of all the flavors. I've never tasted actual pineberries, nor have I seen them, in fact, this tea is the first time I've ever heard of pineberries.
Honeybush is such a nice nighttime (caffeine free) option for me. I don't care for the woodiness of a lot of rooibos blends, a lot of the fruit blends are too tart for my liking (with the excessive use of hibiscus), and as much as I enjoy my mint teas, I think I'd get bored with them if I drank them every night.
I've read a few reviews describing honeybush as watery, and in all honesty, in comparison to black, green, and even some fruit teas; honeybush is a tad on the watery side. The good thing about this is that when I make honeybush I tend to just leave the mix brewing with little harm other than a little extra sediment.
As far as honeybush goes this is good, but it's not my favorite…yet. I feel like this one has the potential to grow on me even more as time passes. That does seem to be how honeybush works with me. It just slowly trickles its way up my rating scale.

Pretty much any current day racing game will be expected to have certain technical elements, such as dynamic visual and car mechanical destruction, due to GRID's legacy. As such, the bar is high for GRID 2 and the question on all racing fans' minds is whether or not GRID 2 can raise that bar even further."

A funny thing happened on my way to becoming a restaurant critic -- friends stopped inviting me over for dinner. It didn't happen gradually or politely. One day I was a welcome guest who always brought a bottle of wine; the next I was persona non grata. A case of vino couldn't get me through the door.
I can appreciate my friends' rationale: No one wants to entertain me for fear I'll criticize their cooking. Even family members, who have little choice but to feed me on holidays, occasionally ask, "You're not reviewing this, are you? Heh, heh." Fortunately most of them are good cooks, confident in their abilities. Ego, apparently, is a strong suit in my family.
Still, I can't make my friends understand that it's really the conviviality of dinner parties that I enjoy, and that I would never measure their cooking by the standards to which I hold culinary professionals -- or those who claim to be professionals. In fact I wouldn't judge them at all. But the boycott against me hasn't lifted, and so I've come up with dinner-party advice that just might garner me -- or someone else -- an overdue invitation.
See, you may not have a restaurant reviewer for a friend, but that doesn't mean you don't have a potential critic angling for a seat at your table. A boss, a new mate, a mother-in-law. Chances are you owe a meal to someone who makes you nervous. Even I get butterflies when I have to prepare something for my women writers' group. So while following the simple guidelines below may not ensure you a gold medal in the Culinary Olympics, adherence to them just might help to satisfy your dinner guests.
I don't mean smooch the air next to your friends' cheeks at the door. No, I'm talking about the old acronym that stands for Keep It Simple, Stupid. Now is not the time to crack open Norman Van Aken's Norman's New World Cuisine and attempt to re-create his snapper escabeche ensalada with salsa romesco, Arbequine olives, avocado, oranges, and ribbons of greens -- unless you're a serious chef, in which case you can probably stop reading right here. The first meal my sister and I ever made, for our parents' anniversary dinner, involved a capon that needed to be deboned, stuffed with wild rice and its own liver, sauced with beurre blanc, and encased in a pastry shell. I might have been ten; she was about twelve. By the time my folks finished eating, my sister and I had gone to bed, leaving the dishes to my mother. I think she was honestly dazzled -- by the amount of work we'd given her to do.
And yet we learned an important lesson: Novice cooks should follow familiar recipes, using ingredients easily found in the nearest Publix. Check out cookbooks that a) you're not afraid to splatter with sauce, b) offer intelligible but sophisticated recipes, c) explain exotic ingredients or steps with visual aids such as charts or diagrams, and d) supply shopping tips. I find David Rosengarten's The Dean & DeLuca Cookbook, as well as The New Basics Cookbook by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins, particularly helpful.
Terra Cotta Is Your Friend
Don't feel as if a five-course meal is in order. As far as I'm concerned, the more dishes you make, the more chances you have of ruining one. When I entertain I like to prepare one-dish meals such as paella, lasagna, or shepherd's pie. I fill a big terra cotta casserole with the appropriate starches, vegetables, and proteins, stick it in a cold oven (a preheated oven might make the dish crack), turn up the heat to 350 degrees or so, and forget about it until the timer goes off. Which reminds me: Don't forget to set that clock.
Stick to a Theme
In other words, pasta and spring rolls don't mix. If you're planning to serve an ethnic meal, choose a main course first, then decide on side dishes and accompaniments to complement it. For larger parties consider conforming to a theme, one you can handle. The most traumatized I've ever been as a host was when I threw a sushi do. My husband and I rolled the things frantically all day long, then watched our guests gobble them down in about an hour. Another problem: We'd never made sushi before, and it took us precious hours to get it right (see KISS). I'm still digging out bits of dried-up sticky rice from the cracks in my counters.
Identify Guests' Preferences Beforehand
Nothing is quite as disheartening as serving beef to a vegetarian, as I recently did to a new acquaintance, who, while very polite, appeared to be revolted just looking at my beautiful medium-rare roast. Then there's another friend who can't tolerate wheat and sugar; my sister, deathly allergic to shellfish; my husband, lactose-intolerant. All of them at the same time might present quite a challenge. But it's relatively easy to meet their needs individually and avoid the foodstuffs that cause them problems. A good host is one who keeps her critics out of the hospital.
This might be an appropriate time to discuss food poisoning. Avoid serving fare that could contain botulism or salmonella. Forget the caesar salad dressing that calls for an uncooked egg. Forgo the raw oysters. And if you're roasting, say, a turkey, and it's taking longer than you thought, don't shrug your shoulders and serve it anyway. My college roommates made me a celebratory dinner one night, but at nine o'clock the bird still wasn't done. Two hours later we couldn't wait any longer and ate it, skirting around the pink parts, which we threw in the garbage can on the porch. None of us got sick, but the next day we found the garbage tipped over, the Hefty bag torn open, and a dead rodent lying next to turkey bones. Maybe it had a heart attack or died of old age. Then again ...
The Bread and Salad Rule
Picky guests can be prickly critics, but few will leave your table hungry if you supply plenty of fresh-baked bread (unless they're allergic to wheat). I buy a few different kinds -- a soft focaccia, a flavored olive or onion loaf, and a crusty sourdough -- from a reliable source. Bakeries I prefer: Renaissance (12551 Biscayne Blvd., North Miami; 893-2144), if I'm in Dade; Ferraro's (860 N. Federal Hwy., Pompano Beach; 954-782-3331) if I'm in Broward; Biga (2200 W. Glades Rd., Boca Raton; 561-447-8688) if I'm in Palm Beach County.
As for salad, the new prepackaged blends of lettuces, located in the produce section of every supermarket, are both timesaving and tasty; I jazz them up with a handful of toasted walnuts and a can of mandarin orange slices (drain them first). Or you can trek to an organic market -- Whole Oats in Dade and Palm Beach, Bread of Life in Broward -- for already mixed, chemically unadulterated baby field greens. While you're there, invest in a good (read: expensive) salad dressing, and decant it before serving. Pulling out that oily Wishbone Italian isn't likely to wow anybody. Critics don't mind the bottle so much as the brand.
Dress to impress: Basic vinaigrette is so easy to make it's almost a crime to buy the stuff. Here's my mother's emergency vinaigrette. Mince a clove of garlic. Chop some dill or parsley (any fresh green herb will do). Pour in one cup of olive oil and one-third cup of balsamic vinegar. Add a pinch or two of dry Coleman's mustard or one teaspoon of prepared mustard. Twist in some fresh black pepper and salt to taste. Blend in a food processor or in a bowl with a whisk.

A Little Garnish Goes a Long Way
So the dish looks a little mangled, not even close to resembling that glossy photograph you saw in the cookbook. No matter. Freshen it up with a sprig of something -- rosemary is always pretty, and watercress is curly enough to hide plenty of culinary design flaws. Just make sure you use a sprig of something edible. Jeffrey Steingarten, food critic for Vogue, found a poisonous leaf garnishing a meal on a transatlantic flight. And I remember a horror story -- perhaps apocryphal -- my grandmother told me about a woman who once livened up her plates with ivy she'd picked from the vine outside her window. Everyone at her table died. Talk about the last supper.
For those with a creative bent, the book Play with Your Food by Joost Elffers is terrific inspiration. Elffers, a photographer, manages to fashion pigs out of Brussels sprouts, rabbits from green peppers and snow pea pods, and insects from okra. Okay, so you might not want to put his "bugs" on your dinner plates. But a hummingbird or two, made from squash, can really sweeten things up.
Recruit Your Guests
The idea is to make them responsible somehow. Ask your hardest-to-please companions to bring the wine; critics love to show off their knowledge. Take the others into the kitchen and give them prep work to do. That way when some of the glazed carrots are still crunchy and others are overly soft, you can say, "Well, Julian did the chopping." Redirected blame might be bad manners, but it's hardly criminal.
Buy Dessert
I admit to being an overachiever. Formerly, for my dinner parties, I would make everything from the crackers that went with the cheese to the final sweet. I quickly realized, however, that the only person conscious of my extraordinary efforts was my husband, who stood in awe of how little sleep I seemed to need. Then some chocolate macaroons exploded in my oven, the debris caught fire, and the smoke detector wouldn't quit -- so I did. The only time it's truly difficult to cook for a critic, I learned that day, is when that critic is you.
