BEIJING (AP) – China on Tuesday accused "Tibet independence forces" of planning to use suicide squads to trigger bloody attacks – the lastest in a string of accusations that have taken aim at supporters of the Dalai Lama.
The prime minister of Tibet's government-in-exile denied the claims, saying Tibetans are committed to a "nonviolent path."
"To our knowledge, the next plan of the Tibetan independence forces is to organize suicide squads to launch violent attacks," Public Security Bureau spokesman Wu Heping said Tuesday.
"They claimed that they fear neither bloodshed nor sacrifice," Wu told a news conference.
Wu offered no firm evidence to support his claims.
Beijing accuses the Dalai Lama and his supporters of orchestrating anti-government riots in Lhasa last month as part of a campaign to sabotage the August Beijing Olympics and promote Tibetan independence.
The 72-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner has denied the charge, condemning the violence and urging an independent international investigation into the unrest and its underlying causes.

By the end of the NHL governors' meetings, the focus of relocation chatter had shifted to the Atlanta Thrashers from the Phoenix Coyotes.
This is far from official chatter, however, as NHL commissioner Gary Bettman tartly noted Tuesday, when the two-day gathering ended, that there was no such talk on the agenda.
When reporters raised the struggles of the Thrashers, who are once again near the bottom of the NHL in attendance (an average announced crowd of 11,789) and whose owners are looking for new investors, Bettman grew dismissive.
"You know, too much is made about franchise issues at a particular point in time," he said. "Our goal is to keep all our franchises where they are. That's always been our goal and that's what we try to do."
Happier topics for the league's board of governors Tuesday were the new rule against blindside hits to the head (they like the way it's working), the prospects of striking gold on a new U.S. television contract next summer, and that St. Louis Blues governor Dave Checketts appears to have some investors lined up to replace the investment fund that wants to cash out its stake in the club.
Bettman also said there was "constant, universal and unqualified" support from the governors for NHL director of hockey operations Colin Campbell. Campbell wound up in hot water recently, when his e-mails criticizing referees' calls against his son and a nasty shot at Boston Bruins centre Marc Savard became public.
Meanwhile, Buffalo Sabres majority owner Tom Golisano brushed aside reports that Pennsylvania billionaire Terrence Pegula is angling to buy his franchise. "We get inquiries about the team all the time. If something substantive happens, we'll let you know," Golisano said.
But when it comes to the Thrashers, even those at the top of the NHL recognize the problems. The team has endured a long and bitter feud among its ownership group - which is still not settled - and it has never been a consistent draw in Atlanta.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly recently told a Winnipeg radio station that relocation is a possibility if things cannot be turned around. Daly clarified his remarks at the Florida meetings, saying he did not mean a move "is imminent."
But with groups in Winnipeg and Quebec stalking the Thrashers, talk of relocation is growing - although Don Waddell, president of the company that owns the club, insists the league will not allow a move.
"That's why I speak up about it because it does get frustrating," Waddell said of the relocation talk, his frustration written on his face. "We deal with it as it comes up and it's been coming up for three years now. It won't be the last time for sure.
"Those are things out of our control. Our focus is going to stay on trying to sell tickets in Atlanta."
However, Waddell did note that with the Thrashers playing well and facing a series of home dates, "it will be a good test for our market in the next two to three weeks."
Waddell said even though the crowds are smaller this season, paid attendance is "up 5 per cent" over last season because of fewer giveaways and deep discounts.
As for the Coyotes, Bettman noted prospective owner Matthew Hulsizer still has some work to do on getting an arena lease, although one is expected to be presented to Glendale city council for approval on Dec. 14. Bettman said Hulsizer is expected to pledge to keep the team in the Phoenix area "for a certain term."
The NHL usually demands a seven-year commitment from new owners to the team's current city. Sources have said Hulsizer's proposed arena lease calls for payments to the Coyotes as high as $100-million (U.S.) over at least five years.
Optimism was more evident when talk turned to new TV deals when the NHL's contracts with the NBC and Versus networks expire in June.
"To have us now in a position where there are a lot of networks genuinely interested in us, is a good thing," Blues president John Davidson said.
Finally, with Dallas Stars owner Tom Hicks on his way out, there is an opening on the governors' 10-member executive committee. The Toronto Maple Leafs would like to see their representative, Larry Tanenbaum, snare the vacancy.
Even though the Leafs are the NHL's wealthiest team, they have been denied a voice in the league's most important ownership committee because of a frosty relationship with Bettman that goes back to the club's moderate position in the 2004-05 lockout. But there are hopes things are thawing enough with Bettman for Tanenbaum to get the position.

Gay rights campaigners hail landmark moment
GAY rights campaigners hailed a "landmark" moment at the National Ploughing Championships as a government minister launched a campaign to support gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in rural Ireland.
Brian Sheehan, director of the Gay and Lesbian Equality Network (GLEN), said it was "a landmark moment" to have a gay organisation at the event.
"We tend to focus on cities," he said.
Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney launched an information initiative by Macra na Feirme and GLEN to highlight supports for gay people in rural areas.
He said it was an important first for the ploughing championships.
"This is about equality and modernisation of our thinking across rural Ireland so that people can live the lives they're comfortable with."
He said there was an isolation problem in rural Ireland.
"We have had many tragic cases of people taking their own lives and of people suffering significant mental stress," he said.
"We know that many people leave their rural environments to go to a city in order to be openly lesbian or gay and we don't think they should have to do that."

Finally, a real fighting game that doesn't hide behind licenses and candy coating…this is what MMA should be about. 505 Games let loose the first in-game footage of their upcoming Supremacy MMA fighting game from Kung Fu Factory and it's not for the lighthearted or squeamish.
Joining the ranks of the unsanctioned, unlicensed, no-holds-barred rendition of the popularized fighting sport is former UFC light-heavyweight champion, Jens Pulver. He commented in the press release about his appearance and the story aspects of the new game, saying…
"I was there during the early days of MMA and came up when things were just out of control crazy, so stories like mine are perfect for a game that's taking things back old school like Supremacy MMA," ... "The truth is there are thousands of fighters out there struggling for a shot, whether they fight underground, amateur or at the highest levels of the sport. They're doing it, and Supremacy MMA tells those kinds of stories, so I'm glad that this is the game I get to be a part of."After seeing the new gameplay video below you'll probably mull over Pulver's words with a bit more care.

Hello, You all come from a very exciting part of the world. I assume that also extends to the "Chow". I am visiting my brother and sister-in-law in Silver Spring this weekend. We have wheels so reasonable travel is also possible. They do not eat meat. I do. They do eat fish.
Please tell me about great places for lunch, dinner and maybe even brunch on Sunday. All foods and while I would not say that money is no object, value for money is most important to me.
Are you allowed to bring your own wine to restaurants in the area? Are there any great wine stores selling U.S. wines you can recommend?

Returning Long-Term Sick-Listed to Work - The effects of education in a competing risk model with time varying covariates and unobserved heterogeneity
The Danish policy towards work-disabled persons comprise contradictory forces. The state seeks to enhance labour market integration of work-disabled persons through vocational rehabilitation. However lax job protection legislation makes it easy for employers to dismiss sick-listed employees. We find that the process of returning to work with the old employer is different from the process of returning to work with a new employer. Furthermore, we find that separation has only limited direct effect on returning to work, but effectively separates employees with low and high employability. Participation in educational measures seems not significantly to help the sick-listed back to work.

From the start of San Pasqual High's club rugby team last season, senior Blake Stephens has been as much promoter as player. In essence, he's the founding member of the squad.
Stephens brings enthusiasm fostered from his introduction to the sport in middle school. With that drive, he's served as a liaison to the school administration while offering a simple sales pitch in persuading his peers to play.
"Really, I just say, 'Come out, and try it. It's a great sport,' " said Stephens, a scrum-back whose position is considered the team's quarterback in football parlance. "There is great camaraderie, as everyone can tell. We can have fun on the field, work hard, and afterward, all have a good time."
Stephens' organizing efforts for San Pasqual corresponded with the introduction of rugby to San Diego Section schools last year under the umbrella of Southern California Youth Rugby. From about 20 players last season, the ranks at San Pasqual grew to 45 on the varsity and JV this season.
The Eagles (3-2) close their regular season Saturday against Fallbrook with a playoff berth on the line in a league that has grown from eight teams to 17, including an Orange County division.
Senior Manny Topete recalls hearing talk about rugby from Stephens since their freshman year together. Once he completed his tenure as an offensive lineman in football last fall, Topete turned to rugby with his appetite whetted by seeing the team play last season.
"I saw all the contact and people running the ball," the 5-foot-11, 235-pound Topete said. "Every fat kid's dream is to get the ball and run."
Fellow senior Mario Mondragon, who had a background in soccer and volleyball, became the kicker for the Eagles rugby team by answering Stephens' call.
"We had a class together, and all he talked about was rugby, rugby, rugby," Mondragon said. "He got my attention."
High school newcomers to the sport say rule intricacies may be the toughest part of the game to master. Otherwise, they're all for mixing it up in play.
"I tell kids that you can learn how to play rugby in three games," said Eagles coach Ray Steel, also in his second year as president of Southern California Youth Rugby. "But you don't really understand rugby until after three years."
Steel, who learned rugby growing up in his native New Zealand, also does youth coaching for the North County Gurkhas club, based in Escondido. It was through that association that he first saw Stephens play.
"Back then, Blake was a gregarious sort of character," Steel said. "He hasn't changed."
The 5-foot-9, 155-pound Stephens played on an Under-19 team from the age of 14. During a one-month visit to New Zealand last summer, he performed at the U-21 level in a rugby academy.
Stephens, who has been a team captain for five years, has drawn interest from Life University, a national collegiate power in Marietta, Ga.
While he longs to keep playing the game, Stephens also wants to leave a lasting impact at San Pasqual.
"I'm trying to create a rock," Stephens said. "I want to do what I can, and hopefully, the younger guys keep it going, so it stays forever. That's what I'd like."
Ever the player, ever the promoter.

Little Box Gives EECU Compliance Assurance, Password
Educational Employees Credit Union is using a little box and the software inside to replace lists of passwords it had kept on paper, passwords that provide access to the big California credit union's network of servers.
The device also provides extensive logging and recording of user sessions on those networks-arcane information to lay people but of crucial importance to IT infrastructure specialists and to the regulators who have to be satisfied that all is secure.
"One of the regulatory people were just here and told us he hadn't seen this before in a credit union and that he was quite impressed," said Keith Allington, network security manager at $1.7 billion EECU in Fresno.
Allington said five to seven people have server-level access to the credit union, and that the Privileged Password Management system from e-DMZ Security replaced what had been passwords kept on paper under lock and key.
"Obviously changing those passwords on a scheduled basis took a lot of time and energy," he said. Now it's automated, he said, something that saves a lot of time and energy when it comes to working with about 600 licenses and 75 servers at a 170,000-member credit union with 15 branches in 10 counties.
"We wrote up an explanation on what it would mean if all our systems had the same password and somebody was to find what it was. They could get into any of our systems and do whatever they want, if they knew what they were doing," he said. Now, a Web-based interface with an easy-to-learn menu system provides regular password changes, "It's raised the bar for anyone who tries to gain that type of access."
Rather than just log-in and password, the system also integrates log-ins with Active Directory functionality, allowing log-ins with regular network credentials and then controlling access to the new network passwords in the appliance. "We can tell the system who can get in and what passwords they can get access for. It also keeps an audit trail of all that," Allington said.
The e-DMZ solution protects UNIX and Windows systems at EECU right now and could be expanded to SQL-driven servers, Allington said. He said the credit union also is considering adding another e-DMZ module, a session-management tool.
The company's chief salesman endorses that idea. "We've had customers tell us that by using this, they have saved thousands of man hours in a forensic analysis that they spent digging through systems logs trying to rebuild what happened after someone just loaded a patch," said Marty Ryan, vice president of sales and marketing at e-DMZ Security in Wilmington, Del. He said the password- and session-management solutions address a problem that can exist at a lot of credit unions and many other organizations.

How to Start a Startup?

You need three things to create a successful startup: to start with good people, to make something customers actually want, and to spend as little money as possible. Most startups that fail do it because they fail at one of these. A startup that does all three will probably succeed. This is an excerpt from […]

I usually ride a bike that I found at the dump and improved with components also from the dump (mostly). So there's no need to lie about the price.
I might type it on here if someone is asking about price range for a particular bike or bikes, but as for face-to-face, nope. If someone asks how much I spent or what it cost me, my standard answer is "less than I expected".
In the states I generally and hesitant to talk about prices. However, here in China it is common and expected, to discuss prices. It is a guaging mechanism; however, there is another factor.
Prices are all over the map in China. Something may sell for three times as much in another store and prices are often negotiable. It is also just part of being sociable to discuss prices in China. It is hard for an American to get used to.
I was riding with the club that mets at the Giant shop one afternoon and, at a rest stop, one of the men asked me how much my bike cost. In truth I did not remember, something that they found odd. However, the bike shop owner was with us and he did remember, and told them. In America that would have been unspeakably rude. In China it was not considered rude at all.
Another story; at a Hostel in Feng Huang I was locking up my bike in the enclosed courtyard for the night. The owner stopped me and commented that I should lock it in the storage room for the night. After all, he added, "its a 2995 RMB bike." We would have rounded; but he clearly took pride in knowing exactly how much that model cost.
Just different cultures.
While I was riding to the Optometrist the other day, an older man whom looked a little homeless came up from behind and was waiting at the corner with me for the light to change so we could cross; he was on a bike too.
He made some conversation with me asking about my bike, thinking they were 16" tires.
After a few questions about it he finally asked how much it cost. I felt that since he wasn't some young looking wanna-be gangster I didn't feel overly concerned about telling him. But usually, I don't like discussing how much I pay for things even with family.
But at the same time I understand why some people ask, it's because they're interested in the same things we are, don't know price market fully and want to know if its good quality because they don't wanna buy an inferior product.
Discussions about the cost of my bike never take place in the presence of my bike. It's come up when I talk general bike quality with people on the job, but when I'm out and about, no one speaks. (I've been told by one relative, a through-and-through 'gangsta', that I looked like I could f*** up some sh**, so people don't mess with me. Others in the hood think I'm a cop. I don't correct their impressions....)
I just tell them 35 ducats and a florin or two.
On my touring bike, I offer to trade their nice car for my bike.
My beater road bike, exactly what I paid for it, $50.
I tell them the truth:
"This bike? I pulled it out of a dumpster."
"This bike? I got it from the city dump."
"This bike? I got it at the pawn shop for $50."
Sometimes people do approach me and say nice things about my bicycle, but no one has actually asked me how much it costs. When they do strike up a conversation, I usually just say "Thank you." More often than not, the person doing the talking also has a bike, so then it just turns into a geek fest. But then, you're not talking about that, are you?
If someone asked me what I paid, i'd say they were given to me by a friend.
I don't have a problem with telling folks the cost of my bikes, there just "entry level" road hybrids and WHEN I do tell them the reaction is the same, "$600 dollars for a BICYCLE, that's crazy!!":eek: LOL, you should see their jaws drop when I tell the some high end racing bikes are $10,000 and up, they just do the "gaping fish" look and walk away! ;)
Why am I not surprized that all of these people never listened to their mother?.......:) I don't tell strangers anything.....cops included.
I don't think I've ever been asked by anyone how much my bikes cost (commuter or otherwise), and I do have nice looking bikes...
Closest thing I've experienced was when a (presumably) homeless man asked me "is that bike valuable?" after watching me very carefully and deliberately secure the bike with a U-lock and cable. My response was "it's valuable to me, since it's how I get around."
8 cents a mile is what it costs me to ride a bike.
Having a bike that's under six hundred dollars makes me feel better than owning a bike over a thousand dollars.
I only tell someone how much my bike is worth (or at least how much I have spent on it) if they comment on how nice a bike I have... $4,000 so far... :)
I suspect that those who have never or rarely been asked this question ride a fairly normal bike - normal as defined by a general public awareness: "two wheels, handlebars, seat, pedals and normalish frame layout." Unless the frame is highly different in someway that jumps out visually, people tend to gloss over and not really look at what is "normal".
I am buying a long-john style cargo bike (box between rider and front wheel) to transport my three little ones...thus our family took two of them (bullitt and cetma) out on test rides on a trail in Wash DC for about 3 hours one weekend day. I can tell you that I got asked how much they cost about 6 times that short day. At least three of those times people did not know that it was a test ride rather than my bike (I think that people feel freer to ask price when something is being tested for purchase). I think that the visually different bikes probably get more comments/questions in general and that the price question is frequently one of them.
We also ride a longtail, and although there are less questions (it looks more normal and many people surpisingly don't notice it's long end at all) we still get the $$ Question. My answer to this question is still evolving, but right now it is:
"My husband bought it used on craigslist. I don't know how much they go for these days, this one my cheep-skate husband got it for a bargain after it had been on craigs for over a month and no one else wanted it. It is hard to sell used ones because they are so unusual so we were able to get it used cheap on Craigslist. I didn't ask about price or he would tell me an hours worth of details about bike parts and what they all would cost. He buys the bikes, I just ride them."
I use some version of the above all the time and it seems to work well. It lets them know they ain't going to get a good price for it and you didn't pay that much. My husband uses about the same line but inserts wife in there. He can be pretty convincing as he really doesn't know anything about the bikes, he does just ride them.
Hey, the part about limited interest in odd specialty bikes was true - the seller did post it on craigs for more than a month and got no takers for it at his list price. I had no idea what I was getting until I did some research on the components. He had it built up too nice for the average craigslist user to see anything but the price (which my LBS said was fair). He came down by 30% from his asking price for me just because selling it local was easier than finding a buyer and shipping. I can't imagine trying to ship a surly big dummy.
So, my reply to the price question is rather true even if it does evade the actual price issue.

as a liability.
Securities are assets whose value changes everyday. "The fair market value is good only for the day in question," says Mitchell. When calculating these into your net worth, count only the portion of the portfolio that has not been "margined," where a brokerage firm allows customers to use securities they own as collateral for a loan to purchase more securities.
Mitchell explains that if you own a business, or do consulting on the side, this can become an asset to you because it's going to generate revenue, which will produce earned income that can be calculated in your net worth.
For example, substantial assets, such as a building that you own, can be added to net worth. You may also want to have your business appraised to see how much it's worth.
Cash is simple: Any money market accounts, certificates of deposits, bank bonds, Treasuries, and savings are assets. And, Mitchell says, if you've given money to a friend or relative to help start a business and, "If you are expecting to get principal and interest in return, it's a receivable — an asset to you." However, if the borrower defaults on the loan, you may be able to deduct a portion of it as a bad debt.
Leased property is typically not considered an asset because the ownership interest rests with the lessor not the lessee. "However, collectible cars, motorcycles, etc., are booked as assets because they have some significant, tangible value in certain instances," says Mitchell. "My personal cars may be treated as such if I'm making payments on them or if I own them outright." Personal vehicles could also be counted as a business asset if they help you earn income.
Mitchell believes that to consider anything in this category an asset (including furs, jewelry, art, etc.), it must have a certified appraisal by someone who is credible. "It's hard to get the net value of these things," says Mitchell. "A certified appraisal gives you a b
etter stand."
For employer-sponsored retirement plans, ask: How much of your money and your employer match will you walk away with when you leave?
Only count the vested portion of your retirement plan assets toward your net worth. Also, if your 401(k) is pretaxed, "the liability is the tax because you only take away what's left over after taxes are finally taken out."
As far as insurance policies go, Mitchell says you cannot list a life insurance death benefit as an asset, "because you'll never see the benefit — your beneficiaries will." However, he says, "In those cases where a person purchased life insurance with the intent of using it as part of their retirement planning strategy, and [it] has a lot of cash value, then I would book the cash portion as an asset, not the death benefit."
Knowing and boosting your net worth should be your goal. To do that, for Suggs and many others like her, Epps says the answer is simple: "We need to spend less than

The Nationals were faced with a major decision in their system this offseason when Harrisburg Senators pitching coach Randy Tomlin stepped down from his post.
The Nats had already had to adjust to the promotion of Randy Knorr from Triple-A Syracuse manager to bench coach with the Nationals. Tony Beasley was elevated from Double-A Harrisburg to Syracuse to replace Knorr.
At Harrisburg, the Nationals moved quickly and promoted Paul Menhart from Single-A Potomac to pitching coach with the Senators before they even had announced a manager for the Double-A squad.
And with good reason.
Tomlin had done a critical job as pitching coach in Harrisburg, teaching and coaching the top prospects in the Nationals' system. Meanwhile, at Potomac, Menhart had done an equally exemplary job with the Nationals' young pitching talent, coaching the likes of Sammy Solis and Brad Peacock. Menhart was Stephen Strasburg's first pitching coach - in the Arizona Fall League.
The right-handed Peacock, a 41st-round selection who was recently packaged in a trade to the Oakland Athletics, was transformed from a thrower who had just started to pitch with limited experience in high school to the highest-rated prospect in the system. Peacock said the biggest reason for how good a pitcher he is today is the coaching of Menhart.
"Paul is the one that helped me out big time," Peacock said. "He pretty much taught me everything I know (about pitching). I only threw eight innings in high school and I threw like 50 some innings in junior college. Then I signed and got with Paul. He grabbed me and taught me everything."
Peacock said the fact that Menhart pitched in the big leagues for Toronto in1995, Seattle in 1996 and San Diego in 1997, and had been a coach for several seasons, was integral to how quickly he was able to learn about how to be a good pitcher. Peacock felt the results instantly.
"(Menhart) started working with me and I got better and better every year," Peacock said. "He helped me out tremendously with everything. He will start yelling at you, 'Why are you doing that?' Paul will set you straight when you get off track."
Peacock said Menhart's teaching technique involved a hands-on approach and because Menhart had pitched at the game's highest level, he showed Peacock how to grip the ball, throwing motion and proper mechanics.
"He will show you the (technique) of pitching because I am terrible with someone just describing something to me and doing it," Peacock said. "(Menhart) showed me everything and I pretty much followed throughout my career. He will make you work. I always wanted to work with Paul. He was my favorite coach out there.
"I worked with Paul pretty much every season besides this last one and we have always had a good pitching staff. He was our coach (that whole time)."
Just like players are destined for promotion when they have talent and can deliver on the field, coaches like Menhart are destined to move up, Peacock said.
"Paul is a great fit (at Double-A)," Peacock said. "I hope Paul gets a chance to go up to the big leagues again and coach there. I feel like he deserves it. He is just an awesome coach. He is fun to be around."
Tomlin will be welcomed back to the organization when and if he wants to return to coaching. But the Nationals and their best young pitching prospects are in good hands with Menhart coaching them up at the Double-A level.

Suspects at large after Redford robbery, high speed chase
DETROIT - UPDATE (6 p.m.): Police have not found any suspects but have cleared the area around 1200 Wheelock.
Police swarmed a southwest Detroit house for a standoff following a Redford armed robbery. After a few hours of a standoff, it was determined no suspect was inside the house.
Officers are still looking for the suspects, who robbed a woman at gunpoint at a motel in Redford Township.
Officers spotted the suspects' vehicle, a gray Chrysler 300 and pursued it to the area of Solvay and Lafayette in Detroit.
When they abandoned their vehicle, police say a canine unit tracked the suspects to a house in the 1200 block of Wheelock.
Once police converged on the block, a PA system was used to get the suspects to surrender, but noone came out.
A nearby school, Roberto Clemente Elementary was put on lockdown while family members tried to get answers.
But suspects refused to give in. That's when police say they administered gas inside the home to get the remaining suspects out. More police were brought in including the MSP Bomb Squad.
The suspects remain at large.

Web gems deliver Friars, Stauffer win
Padres take opener from Nationals with defensive clinic
By Corey Brock / MLB.com
Sure, starting pitcher Tim Stauffer worked past five innings for the first time in a month, allowing one run in 6 2/3 innings en route to a 3-1 Padres win over the Nationals in front of a crowd of 19,867 at PETCO Park.
And it probably didn't hurt that the Padres scored twice in the first inning before Livan Hernandez, the Nationals starting pitcher, began pitching like it was 2000 all over again, the year he won 17 games for the Giants.
Looking for one reason why the Padres (57-76) won on Monday and why they finished the month 15-14 -- about as far removed from their July debacle (8-20) as humanly possible?
Look no further than the defense.
In one blissful sequence in the seventh inning, the Padres got an outfield assist from right fielder Will Venable, who turned a single by Wil Nieves into a quick out at second base, cutting down what would have been the potential tying run.
Two batters later, and after Stauffer walked Hernandez, leadoff hitter Willie Harris sent a fly ball to left field that Oscar Salazar -- making his first start in the outfield for the Padres -- drifted back on and hauled in just before hitting the fence.
"I mean, you've got a first baseman playing the outfield right there. I thought for sure it was going to be a knock," Harris said. "He made a good play, and it kind of took the breath out of us right there. It was an amazing play."
The fence stood, but Salazar fell to the ground with a left knee contusion. He would leave the game and is listed as day-to-day. His work, and that of Venable, didn't go unnoticed after the game, particularly by manager Bud Black who made a point of talking about his defense.
"The overall team defense has really picked up. You can go back to those last two series on the road, the plays that were made in Florida," Black said, referring to a diving catch by Venable on Sunday in Florida and another diving catch in the series by Tony Gwynn.
"It's saving runs for us."
Those two plays surely saved Stauffer (3-6), who hadn't worked past five innings since July 30. Stauffer showed good life on his fastball, striking out five. And even though he walked three, he was much more efficient, getting seven outs on fly balls and seven by ground balls.
"It's about time," Stauffer joked about the stretch of five previous starts where he went exactly five innings. "I still had a couple of walks, but my aggressiveness was better. I felt like I had better stuff.
And on those plays by Venable and Salazar?
"They probably saved the game with both those plays," Stauffer said.
The bullpen, now without eight-inning specialist Mike Adams, who is on the disabled list with a strained shoulder, got the final seven outs. Adam Russell got Ryan Zimmerman to end the seventh inning on a ground ball with two on base.
In the eighth inning, left-hander Joe Thatcher got the only batter he faced, Adam Dunn, on a fly ball to center. Luke Gregerson followed by striking out the two batters he faced before Heath Bell worked a scoreless ninth inning for his 32nd save.
The Padres turned a 2-1 lead into a 3-1 victory when Chase Headley hit a solo home run in the eighth inning, the seventh pinch-hit home run for the team this season.
Runs where hard to come by, though, as Hernandez retired 13 hitters at one point.
Stauffer allowed a baserunner in all but one of the innings he pitched. In his last inning, the seventh, it looked like the Nationals (46-86) might chase home the tying run. But the plays by Salazar and Venable ended any such momentum.
"It's part of being comfortable out there and having confidence that I'm going to get a good jump on a ball and make a play," Venable said. "When you've got a guy on the mound doing a great job, you want to do everything you can to help."

According to a report by the Institute for Family Policy, with more than 141,817 divorces in 2006—one every 3.7 minutes—Spain has become the country with the highest divorce rate in the European Union.
The Institute also pointed out that the number of divorces grew in 2006 by 51% from the previous year and by 277% from the period of 2001-2006.
According to the Institute, the Canary Islands, the Beleares Islands and Catalonia are the regions with the highest divorce rates, and Castilla-La Mancha has seen the greatest jump in abortions since 2004, with the rate more than tripling.
Eduardo Hertfelder, the director of the Institute for Family Policy, said the report should cause Spanish society and the country's leaders to take "urgent measures to stop this authentic social suicide. A true change of direction is necessary regarding the legal measures, the social and cultural protection of marriage and the family in order to straighten out this tremendous crisis that we are experiencing in Spain."
"The data is irrefutable," Hertfelder said, "and it points to a failure of the government that implements laws—like the law on express divorce—which provokes an increase in the breakdown of the family in Spain."
The lack of a plan by the government to reinforce the family shows the lack of concern for the problems facing the family, Hertfelder said, adding that the government should reverse the current "express divorce" and should implement "support measures for the family."

Many women will take a form of birth control at some point in their lives, but the options for birth control remain relatively limited. Hormonal pills developed more than 50 years ago still dominate the field and many newer forms have been scrutinized for causing other health risks.
In a recent New York Times Room for Debate, Natalie Rechberg, chief executive officer of natural fertility monitor supplier Valley Electronics AG, said women are too dependent on Big Pharma to prevent pregnancy:
Many young women have been taught only the basics about their their cycles. Focus has been on form rather than function. This is understandable, albeit unfortunate, when many are willing to hand over one of the most basic functions in life to a third party. In recent years, this has started to change, with women reevaluating the side effects of using hormonal methods...
Education, based on a solid framework of the female body and cycle, is needed to allow women to understand the potential risks and benefits of the different methods, and make an informed decision about what is right for them.
On The Daily Circuit, we discuss the current options available to women. What are emerging trends in the field?

Tracking fertility effectively is more complicated than just counting days on the calendar. But it can work. (The Atlantic)
• No Pill? No Prob. Meet the Pullout Generation

Reportedly, when the American flag was made by Betsy Ross it was said that the red stood for courage, the white for truth and the blue for loyalty.
On Flag Day as I watched it wave in the breeze, I thought of its meaning and was proud of our heritage, our Constitution and all that we stand for. I thought of Americans who fought and died for this flag, and of those too blind to see all the corruption in our political system. I'm the same American who didn't listen to Lincoln, Jefferson and Jackson when they warned us of the evils of a central bank. I'm the same American, in my acquiescence, who didn't question the creation of the Federal Reserve, the income tax and the IRS. Red stands for courage. So why didn't I have any?
I'm the same American who forgot how to pray and allowed God to be taken out of our schools. I'm the same American who, in my obliviousness and apathy stood by while abortion, assisted suicide and homosexuality became commonplace. I'm the same American, when looking for the truth, watched TV and read the newspapers not realizing that these media could be bought by the same people who advocated those trends. White stands for truth. So why didn't I demand it? As I watch the flag it appears to be all white as if it were a flag of surrender. I'm the same American, while reaching for the American dream with all its materialism, dropped the kids off at day-care; the kids in their own pursuits turned to sex, drugs and alcohol, disrespected authority, killed some of their own and thought God was some mythological guy up in the sky, and I wondered why. I'm the same American who dutifully dropped the kids off at public school and never thought to ask what they were being taught or by whom. Blue is for loyalty. Where is it?
As the sun catches it, Old Glory's colors seem to be changing from red, white and blue to... oh, God! it has a hammer and sickle on a red background. I tremble in fear and disbelief as I clearly see my folly that created these insanities. I'm the American, I realized, who ignored the threat of Nikita Khrushchev who said that someday they (communists) would bury us and that we would raise the flag of communism over our own country ourselves. This is our legacy, our own deserved heritage.

Jackson Town News

Good Morning
Happy Easter! I haven't been out but looks like a great day. Having my first cup of coffee, have a load of cloths in, eggs to boil out to room temperature, and I have things together for salad and what I want to take up to Debbie's. Gee I didn't change my camera batteries. Better do that I guess.
It was a nice day yesterday; Chris borrowed Uncle Roberts's high pressure washer and added bleach and Dawn and got all the mold off my garage and trailer. It looks better. He did his moms house on Friday and it looks new again. He took off all the banking off etc. I said I'm leaving mine on both ends only to let air through but Lisa said no. She bought a new rake and just started to rake in front of my garage and it broke, not the handle the rake itself.
Let's hope it warms up. I watched the Red Sox in Chicago and the crowd was in winter coats and gloves. The players had some kind of hoods under their caps and they kept blowing in their hands to warm them. That morning I was up before 5:30, turned on the scanner and they were fighting a fire already and it was so cold with the wind blowing. Of course they'd done it in some places many times all winter long.
Goes to the family of Albert Shute who ran a dairy farm in Brooks for many years.
So many sad things have happened… the school bus hit by a struck, the avalanche at Mt Everest and still so many missing. I guess I wonder why they were even up there but it was their thing I guess. And there's the ferry accident in Korea that had so many kids on it. Those poor parents, it gets to you to see so many still missing.
What a great write up on Jimmy Curtis III in the Bangor Daily. I don't take it but sister Shirley sent it to me.
Heard a good report on the get together for Tina Keller in Freedom. We talked to her granddaughter. Sorry we couldn't be there, Lisa had to go to work that day.
Flint, Heidi, Forest and Hunter Dodge were at Polly's last weekend with a cake for her birthday which they all enjoyed...
Bumped into
Lisa and I were in Belfast on business and ran into Nancy and Reggie Rhodes (I worked with Nancy years ago). I haven't seen them in forever. We had a short but good talk. Hang in the there Reg.
Canoe Race
Did you watch the canoe race in Bangor? The water was high and it had to be so cold. Scary to see them turn over. I think they said 700 signed up. Must have been people with around 400 boats and canoes.
Two eight year old girls from Waterville raised $20,000 (4 years of food) to buy food for the school food pantry and Ellen had them on her show and gave them another check for $20,000 to buy even more healthy, good food. They were so excited to get the help but to see Ellen too.
Prince George
They are having such a time about Kate and William's baby cause they are letting him be a baby. They are at daycares and a zoo today. He's patting a big live bunny, why not… They carry him like we would and he's kicking and laughing etc.
And it's here. I've seen a lot of turkeys. Once crossed the road to visit John Ford (just made it) between me and a car going north. There are a lot of pussy willows now. Some green grass, Polly has flowers up next to the house and she and Doris heard peepers. Debbie said she's going to transplant some seedlings she's started for her garden. I'm watching for the tarp to be taken off the Country View Golf Club sign.
Hope you had a nice Easter. A lot of people are travelling here and there, we're lucky to have family so close by.
P.S. Just got home from Johnny and Debbie's, what a dinner. AJ, Becca, Mady, Hannah, Michelle, Shane, Ella, Lisa, Chris, LeeAnn, Eric, Polly and I. Lisa made the little girls an Easter cake out of cupcakes. Looked just like an Easter Bunny, so cute. The kids had fun riding one of the horses, Mady and Ella didn't want to get off. Then the day ended with a bonfire of limbs Johnny and Chris piled up from the pasture!

Staff Writer
SAN DIEGO -- A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of evading police early Saturday morning after he allegedly led officers on a high-speed pursuit through several North County communities, authorities said.
Juan Rangel was charged with the felony offense following a chase that began in Kearny Mesa at about 12:59 a.m., San Diego police Lt. Tony McElroy said.
Rangel, who was driving a 2001 Mitsubishi sedan with four others on board, was being pulled over by a San Diego police officer in the 9000 block of Lightwave Street for illegally parking before the pursuit began, McElroy said.
Instead of speaking to the officer, police said, Rangel fled the scene and drove onto Interstate 15 at a high rate of speed with the headlights off.
With several police cruisers in pursuit, Rangel allegedly exited the freeway in Rancho Bernardo. There, police said, he continued driving east from the Poway area to northbound Highway 67.
A California Highway Patrol officer attempted to stop the vehicle by laying out a spike strip on the highway south of Ramona, but Rangel was able to avoid it, McElroy said. The pursuit, he said, continued through Ramona and west on Highway 78.
Another spike strip was placed on Highway 78 west of the San Diego Wild Animal Park, police said. Again, Rangel was able to avoid the strip, which punctured the tires of a Sheriff's Department squad car instead.
McElroy said Rangel then drove to Escondido where he finally stopped in a parking lot at 744 E. Mission Blvd. Rangel was arrested, but his passengers were detained and released.

Hrithik Roshan, the pioneer of superhero movies in Bollywood, might be a superhero on screen and might give hope to characters on screen but off screen, he has a good luck charm too.
According to sources, Hrithik Roshan considers his grandfather J Om Prakash, the veteran film-maker to be his lucky charm. Way back in 2000 when Hrithik was shooting for his first film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, it was his grandfather who gave the first clap of the shoot.
Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai was a major hit, and since then Hrithik is very particular that for his home banner movies his grandfather gives the 1st clap. While shooting for KRRISH 3 the 1st shot was with Vivek, so Hrithik saw to it that the 1st clap was done by his grandfather.

Configurator for upgrade of existing radiators
When installing a condensing boiler or heat pump, the radiators must normally be enlarged. This is not always possible due to lack of space and rarely leads to aesthetically acceptable solutions. With the new Jaga DBE system this is not necessary. Dynamic Boost Effect is a heat activator that has been developed especially for Jaga Low-H2O radiators to increase the capacity with minimal over-dimensioning and negligible energy consumption.

Home insurance

Thousands of homes in recent years have been damaged by flooding around the UK.
After each bout, insurers face the process of sorting out the huge number of home insurance claims.
But given the amount of work involved dealing with each case, it is inevitable that it will take months before many properties are returned to their pre-flood condition.
Owners who want or need to move house quickly, could therefore face a serious problem if their property is in no state to go on the market.
But a number of companies in the UK offer to buy any house or flat, regardless of their condition.
Quick-sale services are typically aimed at people who have little choice but to sell in a hurry.
This includes, for example, divorcing couples, families trying dispose of a late relative's home, or borrowers who can no longer afford their mortgage repayments.
But the cost of a quick transaction - it usually takes less than a month - is a sale price well below market value.
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) last year ran an investigation into quick-sale property firms.
It found that sellers typically received between 10% and 25% less than the market value of their properties when they used these firms.
The seller of a flood-damaged home might get even less.
The watchdog also expressed concern that initial offer prices were sometimes reduced at the last minute, which could be unlawful.
Gaucho Rasmussen, OFT director, says: "Responsible quick house sale firms offer a valuable service to consumers who want a fast sale.
"However we have also seen potentially illegal behaviour."
This led the OFT to open investigations into three unnamed companies.
David Hollingworth is a spokesman for mortgage broker London & Country.
He says: "Whether floods will affect the longer-term value of a property will largely depend on the availability of insurance as well as how long these images live in the mind of potential buyers.
"Those with a more pressing need to move might feel that a company that will guarantee to buy a property could offer a solution."
But he adds that vendors need to weigh up the cost of a quick deal in terms of a lower selling price against the speed of the transaction.
"Worries have been raised that a key target market for this kind of service can be vulnerable owners that really need a quick sale, possibly because of other debt problems."
National Homebuyers, not one of the companies investigated by the OFT, offers to "sell your house for cash within days."
A spokeswoman says: "We help people who are selling for a variety of reasons.
"We help not just those with flood-damaged properties, but also those who are relocating, emigrating, downsizing or selling a property they have inherited.
"It is not our intention to take advantage of people in a desperate situation.
"If people are struggling to sell their property for whatever reason National Homebuyers offer a valuable service and will purchase quickly enabling people to move on with their lives."
The OFT offers these tips for anyone considering the quick-sale option:
Look into alternatives, such as talking to your lender if you are struggling to pay off your mortgage.
Be sceptical of claims such as "completion in days". Ask firms how long sales typically take.
Don't accept verbal information or promises. Get everything in writing.
Get independent legal advice.
Don't commit to the sale until you have a final offer in writing, after surveys have been carried out.

A new approach for scenario generation in Risk management
We provide a new dynamic approach to scenario generation for the purposes of risk management in the banking industry. We connect ideas from conventional techniques -- like historical and Monte Carlo simulation -- and we come up with a hybrid method that shares the advantages of standard procedures but eliminates several of their drawbacks. Instead of considering the static problem of constructing one or ten day ahead distributions for vectors of risk factors, we embed the problem into a dynamic framework, where any time horizon can be consistently simulated. Additionally, we use standard models from mathematical finance for each risk factor, whence bridging the worlds of trading and risk management. Our approach is based on stochastic differential equations (SDEs), like the HJM-equation or the Black-Scholes equation, governing the time evolution of risk factors, on an empirical calibration method to the market for the chosen SDEs, and on an Euler scheme (or high-order schemes) for the numerical evaluation of the respective SDEs. The empirical calibration procedure presented in this paper can be seen as the SDE-counterpart of the so called Filtered Historical Simulation method; the behavior of volatility stems in our case out of the assumptions on the underlying SDEs. Furthermore, we are able to easily incorporate "middle-size" and "large-size" events within our framework always making a precise distinction between the information obtained from the market and the one coming from the necessary a-priori intuition of the risk manager. Results of one concrete implementation are provided.

My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for WritopiaLab, New York, NY, USA
Writopia Lab is such a wonderful organization, which has also been so important and beneficial for my daughter, that I hardly know where to begin. The writing workshops themselves are inspiring, challenging and instructive while also being highly supportive of each member's voice and particular take on the world. And the workshops are also fun. In addition to the variety of writing workshops offered, there are also frequent opportunities for students to read their work publicly, experience their theatrical works performed by actors, and to participate (with great success, I might add), in national writing competitions.
Perhaps more importantly, the program fosters a strong sense of community among its young writers which cuts across boundaries of age, background, and the specifics of each member's interest in writing. The unique spirit of Writopia Lab begins with its director and flows down through teachers, administrative staff and the students, who range in age from high school to early elementary school. I have watched many students' confidence grow along with their writing skills, and this owes as much to Writopia's atmosphere of safety, enthusiasm and peer support as it does to anything didactic. As a parent of a Writopia Lab student, my assessment of the program is: thumbs up, big time.

Shannon now eyeing ICC debut
THERE was never really much doubt that the 15 selected for the West Indies tour would be the party that would go on to the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh next month and, with the exception of John Mooney, Cricket Ireland yesterday confirmed the decision.
Mooney had to return home with a stress-related illness 10 days ago, but Instonians batsman James Shannon, who joined the squad as his replacement, keeps his place for his first ICC event.
National coach Phil Simmons was always going to use next week's Twenty20 internationals against defending World T20 champions West Indies as a warm-up for Bangladesh and with the exception of Mooney and the retired Trent Johnston he will have the squad which won eight games out of eight in the qualifying tournament for the finals.
Andy McBrine, Andrew Poynter and Craig Young join Shannon as debutants at an ICC global event but captain William Porterfield is one of six players who have been to all four in what is still a very experienced squad, despite the loss of Boyd Rankin, to England, Johnston, Mooney and the non-selection of batsman Andrew White.
Ireland played their first T20 game of the current tour against the Trinidad Academy yesterday and won by three wickets with three balls to spare, despite a middle order collapse after Paul Stirling hit 70 in reply to their hosts 138 for four. Shannon finished 19 not out.
World Twenty20 squad: W Porterfield (capt), A Cusack, G Dockrell, E Joyce, A McBrine, T Murtagh, K O'Brien, N O'Brien, A Poynter, J Shannon, M Sorensen, P Stirling, S Thompson, G Wilson, C Young.

For those who have an interest, this project has been completed (276 pages) and I am now looking for a publisher. In the meantime, I would like to get the CD set and/or book (includes music CD) out to the sax world so that we can continue to update the text. I will burn the CD set at home and am tring to keep the cost down. Please send a postal m/o or cashiers check. Sorry but I am not set up to accept charge cards.
The photos in the B&W "book copy" are good but not as clear as the CD so keep that in mind. You might want to think about using the CD to print a copy which includes a lot of color photos then having a local print shop bind it for you. Depending on your home printer memory, you will only be able to print 5-6 pages at a time due to the memory that the photos use.
If you can't open the text CD (MS Word) or if the music CD does not play on your equipment, I will refund your money. I have tested it locally and have heard from friends via email and to date there has been no problems with the CD set. When you order please send your typed name and address (to tape on the envelope) and email address in case I need to contact you for an order delay.

The New Sound
The year was 1955. The new Top 40 hits of Fats Domino, The El Dorados, Billy Vaughn, Bill Haley and the Comets, and Pat Boone were filling the airwaves and jukeboxes across the globe. Teenagers were tuning in and dancing to the new beat. In 1956, Little Richard, Johnny Dankworth, The Dells, Lord Rockinghams XI, Ken MacIntosh, The Cadillacs, The Five Satins, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, and Bill Doggett also joined in and were recording the new Top 40 hits. It was an exciting time for many teenagers. International popular music was about to change forever, and one unique sound that was common to many hit records was the versatile styles of the saxophone.
Who were the musicians who inspired many of us to learn to play the sax during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s? Where are they today?
Unfortunately, for many years in the world of pop music most session musicians were never given credit on the LP covers or CD liner notes. In some cases, had it not been for the studio musicians, the record might not have become a hit for the singer. Even in some recordings that used the singers own band, credit was not always given to those who made it happen.
In most historical documents there is room for error and misinformation. I have used Internet resources, email responses, and various books to confirm as many dates, names, and songs as possible. However, as I concluded the research and prepared this book to be published, I knew that an updated edition would follow in the future as more songs, names, and corrections surface.
If you have additional information to add to the future editions, please contact me at email@example.com and I will add your updates to the text. I hope we will one day have a complete and comprehensive account of these musicians.
The majority of the listed hits contain an obvious solo. However, a few of the hits have a dominant sax line in the background but no solo per se. According to the contributors the background sax line was a vital part of the song so it was added.
Lets take a trip and go back in time. Do you remember that song and solo that inspired you to pick up the saxophone?
Plas Johnson
John Laughter is performing a great service for the many unheralded and unrecognized sax soloists who played on hit records over the decades. For many years the record companies excluded the names of all musicians on their records. There are albums that I played on where the commentary on the back cover speaks about the artist and tunes, then proceeds to describe the recording technique and equipment - nothing about the musicians.
My own documented discography would not be as long and as accurate as it is were it not for Stuart Colman, a producer, record collector, and writer for a rock magazine. Players who solo on many records just don't have the time, even if they have the details to keep up with this.
So, many thanks to John Laughter for his efforts in digging out and publishing this information.
Dave Woody Woodford
John Laughter has done the near impossible with this book. This is more than a simple list of guys who played sax solos on hit records. John has created a saxophone player's rock & roll rosetta stone. What you have here is a history of rock & roll from the point of view of the true unsung heroes of the art form... the sax soloists.
In these pages you'll find the most complete history ever recorded of the great Rock & Roll Gunslingers, from Plas Johnson and King Curtis (two of my personal heroes) to my favorite contemporaries like Lenny Pickett and Crispin Cioe. You'll also find biographies and pictures placed throughout this book, letting you get more personally acquainted with some of these great players.
This book is much more than an answer to questions like Who played the sax lines on Baker Street and Spanish Harlem or Who played that wild natural 7 on the V chord of Wooly Bully? This is a rock, blues or r&b sax players master class.
Any musician or non-musician who wants to find out what made (and still makes) rock & roll ROCK should read this book, get the cds, listen to the solos and learn what made all of these gunslingers special.

This fantastic database of solos and soloists will be as useful and interesting to us the players as to you the sax fans and you the students and future generation of soloists. Exhaustive and thoroughly researched, with its biographies and photos it is fascinating and educational reading, as well as a great source of reference. Hats off to all the players and enthusiasts who got together to make it happen!
Happily for all of us, the world is full of sax nuts, and now the next time someone grabs me after a show and says Hey, what year was it when you played that solo with so and so on such and such a record? or Do you know what mouthpiece Kenny G used on tenor? I can simply direct them here!
This guy John Laughter must be truly sax-mad! Most of us soul sax players cant remember what day of the week it is or what music college we went to, never mind what records by what artists we played on, and record companies rarely bothered crediting the unsung heroes in sleeve notes, so we know what a lengthy and frustrating labour of love it must have been to collate all this information!
Thanks John!

'Don't do it Kanye!' Mother-in-law won't allow him to sing the 007 theme song
KANYE West and his mother-in-law are struggling to bond... James Bond.
The rapper accidentally angered Kim Kardashian's mother Kris Jenner by secretly lobbying to do the next Bond theme song.
Fuming Kris, 58, still holds a grudge against current 007 Daniel Craig, 46, for calling her family "f***ing idiots" during a 2011 interview.
As a result, she doesn't want Kanye, 37, involved with the actor or the hotly-anticipated 23rd instalment of the popular franchise unless Dan apologises.
Sources told us: "Kris isn't budging but Kanye is still desperate to do it.
"Kim isn't taking sides, but is privately hoping he doesn't end up recording the theme."
And the reality TV starlet may be in luck.
Despite her hubby's campaign, Bond bosses are still gunning for Adele to record a follow-up to her 2012 smash Skyfall.
The movie became the highest ever grossing Bond flick.
We're told: "Kanye would do an amazing job but if Adele wants the gig it's hers."

Obama bought election with 'gifts' for voters, says Romney
Barack Obama only won re-election by showering "gifts" on female, black and Hispanic voters, his defeated Republican challenger has complained.
In his first published remarks since election day, Mitt Romney accused Mr Obama of following the "old playbook" by bestowing favours on key Democratic constituencies in exchange for their support.
"In each case they were very generous in what they gave to those groups," he said in a telephone conference with major campaign donors.
"With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest was a big gift."
Despite predictions of the closest race in a generation, Mr Obama ended up garnering 51 per cent of the popular vote to Mr Romney's 48 percent, and won decisively in the state-by-state Electoral…

Several Silly and Slutty Stories is just that: several silly and slutty stories for adults to enjoy. This is a sexy comic blend of Antonia Allupato's brand of erotic humor and tongue-in-cheek fantastical literature. It is a journey of erotica turned satirically on its head, and not meant to be taken literally or seriously.
