RICHMOND — As a Richmond police sergeant, Tod Opdyke loved being a cop in his hometown and cherished the relationships he fostered during his 35-year career.
But when it was his turn to be honored at the Richmond Police Officers Association Christmas and Retirement dinner Dec. 7, Opdyke, 58, hesitated a bit before leaving his table.
His wife, Barbara, stepson and four adult children watched as he approached the dance floor at the Concord Hilton Golden Gate Ballroom, where the association board members waited.
As association President Hector Esparza described to the more than 300 officers, retirees, friends and family how Opdyke excelled in fostering community relationships, the veteran officer smiled, occasionally glancing at the floor. Tears welled in his eyes when he received his gold retirement badge.
More than a year earlier, Opdyke lay on a floor in his home, unable to move. He was alone. In 1991, Opdyke was riding in a police paddy wagon with no seat belts, clutching a heavy battering ram. When the vehicle made a sudden stop, he flew forward and hit something inside. He went to the hospital later and found out he ruptured a disc.
More than 20 years later, the injury flared up, he said.
"I ended up laying on the floor for five hours," he said. "It took me a long time, an hour or better to find my cellphone. I was crawling on the floor very gingerly because I had this tremendous pain."
After months of physical therapy to work out his ruptured disc, Opdyke realized he would not be able to get back into proper shape to serve and reluctantly retired. In October, he penned a lengthy letter announcing his retirement and thanking the community, a message that Councilman Tom Butt shared via his email forum.
"Though my heart will always be with the Richmond Police Department and this city, I feel compelled to accept my fate even though I feel that I have so much more to contribute as a Richmond police sergeant," he wrote. "But there comes a time when you must know when to leave and, as the cliche goes, turn the page to a new chapter of my life. It is time."
In 35 years with the department, Opdyke served in nearly every division. In 2008, Chief Chris Magnus promoted Opdyke to sergeant, where he was placed in charge of Beat 1, which covered the Santa Fe, Marina Bay, Point Richmond and Brickyard Cove neighborhoods.
"He really understood that your best partners when it comes to fighting crime and getting the job done are the community," Magnus said. "He really built quality relationships. I hear from people all the time how much they miss him."
Opdyke said he communicated with the neighborhood councils and residents via an email forum to inform them of crime trends and attended many public meetings in his time as sergeant.
"It really put the community at ease and educated them," he said. "That community involvement is essential."
Opdyke grew up in the Santa Fe neighborhood near two Richmond police officers. One officer, Leo Garfield, eventually became police chief and hired Opdyke in 1978.
"I knew I had to prove myself," Opdyke said. "After being hired, I always addressed him as chief. I knew him. … I just kept it strictly professional, and I focused on learning this job."
For more than 15 years, Opdyke shared a special daily moment with fellow Officer Mike DeOrian and two other officers. Before heading out to patrol during the swing shift following their daily briefing, the officers would meet up and grab coffee at the 7-11 on Macdonald Avenue and "discuss things only brothers would discuss."
After 10 minutes, they would leave, and DeOrian would toast to them and their department with the words, "There are none better, and damn few as good."
As Opdyke stood with the mic in his hand at the retirement dinner, he invited up his friend and fellow retiree DeOrian. DeOrian brought two cups of coffee with him, and they again toasted to their department like times of old.
"There are none better than you and damn few as good," Opdyke said to the crowd before he embraced his friend.

Aviva plc (Aviva) announces that its UK business Norwich Unionplans to reduce duplication and improve efficiency to deliverannual cost savings of £250 million in 2008 at a cost of £250million by the end of 2007.

The company will seek to minimise the number ofcompulsory redundancies through natural staff turnover andvoluntary measures. The savings primarily arise from costefficiencies and reducing duplication in marketing, humanresources, finance, and information technology, as well as applyinga single approach to procurement and supplier management.
Continuous improvement in service standards and maintenance ofstrong financial disciplines will remain key objectives throughoutthe process.

Secilmis Ulkelere Gore Turkiye'nin Turizm Talebi
In today, approximately 30% of global service trade consists of tourism sector. International tourism is one of the most important income-generating sector of 83% of world countries. Besides it is caused by reviving other sector which is in a relation, increasing the share of GDP and acquired exchange rate, creating employment opportunities, increasing the importance given of tourism. After 1980s with the technological development and increasing travel opportunities tourism sector has become important in Turkey. Therefore international tourist demand is one of the crucial economic variables for Turkey. In this study, it is used macroeconomic variables which determinants of international tourism demand are income, tourism price, travel cost and exchange rate for 36% of foreign tourist who come to Turkey from Germany, Russia and England. By including quarterly of the 1999:1-2013:2 period of time series was examined the theoretical structure of the seasonal unit root test, HEGY, which was developed for quarterly series and was investigated whether or not have seasonal unit root. According to analysis results, tourist arrivals and income series were reached presence of seasonal unit root, but tourism price, travel cost and exchange rate series were concluded that seasonal unit root cannot be found.

New Delhi : Former finance minister P Chidambaram today rejected Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's contention in Lok Sabha that UPA government left behind double digit inflation.
"FM said UPA bequeathed double digit inflation. In June 2014 CPI (Consumer Price Index) was 6.77 and WPI (The Wholesale Price Index) was 5.66. Did FM add the two numbers Voodoo statistics!" Chidambaram tweeted.
Intervening in the price rise discussion in the Lok Sabha, Jaitley yesterday said NDA government had in 2014 inherited from UPA a double-digit inflation which has been brought substantially down and it will further reduce with good monsoon.
Jailtley's remarks came after Rahul Gandhi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and alleged that the government had failed to control prices, particularly of the essential commodities.

Just right of the grey water streak. A hard finish and not well bolted.
Easy 7a, however the 4th bold may be too high and may be dangerous.
It didn't look easy to me. Problem is the last move, just once you've clipped the last bold... The rock is polished and it is a very hard move. So that makes it a hard 7a.

BOLTHOUSE (ZUIDEMA), ROBERTA MAE Roberta Mae (Zuidema) Bolthouse passed away peacefully on November 6, 2013 at the Christian Rest Home, where she resided since April 2009. She was born on November 22, 1929 to James Menno and Ethel May (Parsons) Zuidema in Coopersville, MI. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband Walter, her baby sister Lorraine, infant brother Robert, and sister Mary Lou (Glenn) Peterson. After graduating from Coopersville High School in 1948, Roberta attended beauty school and in 1953 opened Roberta's Beauty Salon in Marne, MI. One of her best customers introduced her to Walt Bolthouse and they were married on March 14, 1958 at Coopersville Bible Church. She exchanged her business career to be a homemaker and selflessly devoted her life to her husband and family. She loved to sew, can, and bake pies for her family. She also had an ear for music, and with only one year of music lessons, served as both pianist and organist for several churches. In later years, she was an active member of the Coopersville Old Kids Choir and enjoyed singing and reading to all of her grandchildren. She was an amazingly strong woman who lived her life with grace and humor. She always carried a beautiful smile on her face, spoke an encouraging word, accompanied with lots of hugs and kisses. She will be forever loved and cherished by her children Brenda (Jeff) Lindberg, Walter J. Bolthouse (Sandi Nucci), Shirley Hall, Nancy (Craig) Gravelin, Mary (Steve) DeVos and Marvin (Dawn) Bolthouse, 13 grandchildren whom she loved dearly, William, Rebecca, and Sara Lindberg, Lisa (Eric) Smith, Russell Hall, Anna, Kristen, and Nicholas Gravelin, Melissa and Natalie DeVos, and Grace, Clairice, and James Walter Bolthouse. She is also survived by her Aunt Lorraine Parsons of Atlanta, GA, sister-in-laws Ruth Hoffer, Esther Esther of Allendale, and Joyce Bolthouse, June (Roy) Bolthouse, and Susan (Bernard) Bolthouse all of Marne as well as many nieces and nephews.

The family of the murdered Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane have told the Taoiseach they still want an independent inquiry into his death.
Today's meeting with Bertie Ahern came after the Northern Ireland Office told the family that preparations for such an inquiry have stopped.
The Taoiseach told the family the Government here was fully behind its campaign for an inquiry.
Pat Finucane was shot dead in 1989.

I'm guessing you enabled ExistentialQuantification, but not Rank2Types or RankNTypes. The former allows you to use the forall keyword in data declarations, but you need one of the others to allow universal quantification in signatures, which is what build is using. This could be better documented. The GHC manual lists all the extensions it supports, but it doesn't use the same terminology as the Extension codes (e.g. "arbitrary-rank polymorphism" instead of "RankNTypes"), and there is a hierarchy of extensions that appears to be entirely implicit. For example, RankNTypes implies Rank2Types Rank2Types implies ExistentialQuantification Rank2Types implies PolymorphicComponents -- Dave Menendez <dave at zednenem.com> <http://www.eyrie.org/~zednenem/>

The governing board at the University of Michigan is taking a road trip.
Regents are meeting next week in Los Angeles for what's described as a strategic planning session. AnnArbor.com ( http://bit.ly/V0Vsal ) says the meetings Thursday and Friday won't be open to the public.
Spokesman Rick Fitzgerald says the cost, $30,000 to $50,000, will be paid by private donations. Chairwoman Denise Ilitch says the board wants to connect with California alumni. That state has 41,000 alumni, No. 2 behind the state of Michigan.
The regents and university President Mary Sue Coleman will also meet the president of Stanford University, the chancellor of University of California-Berkeley and others at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza hotel.

American Jewish Organizations Gear Up to Help Arab Israelis
Jewish philanthropies in the U.S. have been directing funds to welfare projects in the Arab sector for years.
NEW YORK - The Jewish community in the United States is gearing up for a new challenge: raising funds to promote equal rights for Israel's Arab minority. Having proved its strength in struggles for the Jews of Russia, Ethiopia and Iran, American Jewish organizations are now readying to help improve the lives of Arab Israelis.
At a symposium in New York two weeks ago, Jewish community leaders unveiled a coalition of charities and organizations whose representatives will form a task force to oversee aid to the Arab sector. The conference was attended by representatives of more than 60 private and public charitable foundations, heads of Jewish organizations and officials from key Jewish federations.
Many Jewish philanthropies in the U.S. have for years been directing funds to welfare projects in the Arab sector, but conference organizers said that the broad array of representatives in attendance and their practical decisions marked a historic turning point in the community's priorities.
The co-executive director of Sikkuy - Israel's Association for the Advancement of Civic Equality, Shuli Dichter, praised American Jewish leaders. "We are happy to see that Diaspora Jews finally understand the importance of equality in Israel and are starting to think of Israel in realistic rather than idealistic terms," he said.
"I hope the Americans will influence the Israeli government to fulfill its duty in the Arab sector and the Jewish Agency to alter its investment plan," he added.
Abraham Foxman, whose Anti-Defamation League is part of the task force, said they had paid attention to the Palestinians and neglected Arab Israelis. "Jewish delegations visited Ramallah, but skipped over Wadi Ara," Foxman said.
In Foxman's view, equal rights for Arab Israelis is "a strategic matter" that will contribute to Israel's safety. The immediate aid goals, he said, will target the Arab education system, employment and small businesses, and will improve the economic situation of Arab Israelis.
Brian Lurie, president of the Alfred and Hanna Fromm Fund, who initiated the task force, said he had spoken recently to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert about the plans to enlist the American Jewish community to help Arab Israelis and met with a favorable response. Lurie stressed that effort will be made to ensure the task force remains apolitical.
The speech by Rabbi Naftali Rutenberg of the Van Leer Institute Jerusalem created a stir when he mentioned that the duty to distribute aid to minorities equally is ingrained in Jewish scripture, and quoted the relevant references.
Arab Israeli organizations greeted the new initiative with a degree of skepticism. The Higher Arab Monitoring Committee chairman, Shauki Hatib, welcomed any investment that raises the quality of life of Arab citizens. But officials at Mossawa Center - the Advocacy Center for Arab Citizens of Israel, said that American Jewish donations that previously went mainly to Jewish communities had widened the socio-economic gaps between Jews and Arabs. The problem is not financial, Mossawa director Jafar Farah said, but rather relates to a human rights dialog that the state must respect. Working to change the discriminatory policy of Israeli governments is what matters, he said

Archbishop Timothy Dolan, spiritual leader to New York City's two million Catholics, is urging "respectful discussion" from all all parties locked in debate over plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero, and he said he prays a responsible decision will be reached regarding the mosque's final location.
Speaking to reporters today, Dolan said he hopes any decision will respect the viewpoint of those who oppose an Islamic Center so close to the site of the fallen Twin Towers but will also protect the exercise of religious freedom.
Dolan said New York has " a great record of welcoming people... of coming together to deal with issues in a constructed, dignified way."
He said he would be happy to be included in any future dialogue.
"My major prayer is that what has turned into somewhat of a divisive issue might develop into an occasion of very civil, rational, loving, respectful discussion," the Archbishop said.
He added that he was proud of both Mayor Bloomberg and Gov. David Paterson for their handling of the debate.
"Mayor Bloomberg articulated in a particularly of eloquent way the principles of religious freedom and the hospitality on which this great country and this wonderful community is based," Dolan said.
Bloomberg is in support of the mosque's construction on Park Place, saying it will be a "sad day" if the project is derailed.
Archbishop Dolan also gave credit to Governor Paterson for offering to broker discussions with the imam and mosque developers in the hopes of finding another location for the project.
"I think the governor's initiative is welcome," he said. "Both of what they (he and Mayor Bloomberg) are trying to do is bring people together to look into this problem," he said.
The archbishop pointed to what he called a "somewhat analogous situation" under Pope John Paul II, who brokered a solution when Carmelite nuns sought to move into a building and build a cross near Auschwitz, the infamous concentration camp.
This was taken by some to be an attempt to spread Christianity at place of deep Jewish suffering.
Pope John Paul asked the nuns to move. "Keep the idea, move the address," Dolan said. "It worked there, might work here."

SANTEE — Sheriff's deputies are looking for a man and a woman who tied up a Santee resident and ransacked his house late Saturday night in a home-invasion robbery.
The victim answered a knock at the door of his Via Nina Home just north of Mast Boulevard about 11:30 p.m. and a man with a gun forced his way inside, sheriff's Lt. Mike Munsey said Monday.
The man, who was joined by a woman, tied up the resident and then went through the house stealing several items, including electronics, Munsey said.
The pair then drove off in the man's white Jeep Compass.
The resident was able to untie himself and called police.
A detailed description of the robbers was not released. The license plate of the SUV is 6UYR344, Munsey said.

The design of icons and their effectiveness

|Issue Date
|Icons are a very important component of graphical user interfaces. However, icon design has been predominantly artistic by nature. Selection of appropriate icons is mainly by usability testing, after the alternative designs of each icon are completed. In this research we address the issues of what should be depicted in an icon, given the function it should represent, and how a short training making the design rationale transparent affects the performance of novice users when using an iconic interface. The experimental results indicate that trained participants had shorter response times than untrained participants. Results show also that superior performance may be achieved for both untrained and trained participants through complete representations, i.e., by representing all elements of the function in the icon. Further analysis indicates that when representing only part of the elements of the function in the icon, three important aspects to consider are ambiguity, uniqueness and dominance. Applications of this research include design of appropriate icons for graphical user interfaces prior to usability testing and an effective short training that could be provided to novice or occasional users.

"LHL's second product would be the Geek Pulse, a "pure class-A" desktop integrated amplifier–DAC capable of handling 32-bit/384kHz PCM files, as well as decoding native DSD64 and DSD128 files."
The Pulse is not actually an integrated amplifier other than that it has a digital volume control and the user can select from 4 digital inputs much like any other DAC. I'd consider it more of a digital pre-amp if anything since while it can drive headphones it cannot directly drive speakers.
"In a little over two months, the company has raised well over $600,000 to support its design and manufacture of what will be relatively affordable hi-fi components."
Across both campaigns they have actually raised about $1.6m.
Stephen, I'm quite curious about your comment about dealers in the LH Lab story. I had thought that the LH way of directly reaching the customer is the way things should be, and it's really not clear to me what functions a more traditional dealer network could provide. Could you elaborate somewhat?
I haven't heard of dealers providing repairs to DACs, and in this case it should be quite feasible for direct or indirect buyers to send their defective units back to factory. Technical support can be provided by reseller as well as the manufacturer's forum, so the main function of a reseller is to demo the product (and do bulk shipping etc). As for price, if the reseller pays the lowest of the campaign prices, after the campaign when all the prices go up there should be room for the reseller to make a normal profit. (By the way, the lower price is why people pay their cash on a promise - they get discounts in exchange for accepting more risk. It's like buying corporate bonds...) At least this is my understanding.
Another great column Stephen, that's awesome that the Lepai sounded good with the KEFs, it's too bad the Bluetooth wasn't worth it. I just ordered the Lepai TA2020+ amp (a whopping $21 on Amazon) to pair up with my Dayton B652s and make a dirt cheap second system; I'm really curious to find out if it sounds any good. One of my housemates expressed an interest in getting a turntable, but unfortunately, putting together what we would consider an "entry level" system is still a significant investment for most of my 20-something peers. If the Dayton/Lepai combo sounds half-way decent it could be a great way to get my buddy started with minimal initial investement!
With all due respect Stephen, I'd direct my focus away from speaker wire if I was writing an "entry level" blog. Speaker wire as a bottleneck is a bit absurd in the context of a $5,000 system, let alone an entry level system.
The reason why some companies are going with Kickstarter programs is that they simply want to test the market to see what kind of market there really is. Obviously, some companies can be successful at it with a new lower end product is because they established themselves.
Light Harmonic established themselves as a top DAC mfg with their top of the line product and since they got rave reviews of their top end DAC, they figured, let's bring that same technology down to a lower price point and see what kind of response they would get. MIT Cables is doing it with their headphone cables since that's a new product for them. If they don't get enough support, then they don't have to make the product and no one gets charged the money, but if they are successful, then the mfg knows that there is a big enough market to warrant finishing the development and release of the product because they know they'll at least break even on the product design.
For small audio companies, they simply have to manage their resources to only projects that are profitable and these Kickstarter programs allows them to test the waters so to speak.
What I find annoying is the companies that talk about a new product, but it never gets released and it's probably due to the company not having the financial resources or they run into some type of problem that's either technical or mfg related or they simply can't make a profit due to rising production costs.
I don't normally prescribe to getting involved with Kickstarter type programs, but apparently there are people that do. I think it's a way to test the market before a product release and if they hit the goal, that means they can sell enough units to at least break even.
for the market LH is doing those Kickstarter programs, it's a VERY tough market. There are more and more portable DACs, or lower priced DACs on the market and it's a tough call to release something if there simply isn't enough people willing to buy the product.

Glamping is the term people use to describe Glamour Camping. It's camping in the great outdoors, but with luxury accomodations. You know, camping with sturdy tents, cots, Thermarest pads, sleeping bags, linens, pillows. Everything you'd want to make your nighttime comfortable. Comfortable chairs, eating and sleeping with the sound of waves in your ears.
But glamping goes even further. It means you don't have to do any of the hard lifting, packing, cleaning, cooking or planning. Glamping means you literally get to show up in Hawaii and put your feet up, relax and enjoy.
Glamping isn't for everyone though. Some campers prefer to DIY (Do-it-Yourself) - you know who you are. You want to be more involved in the daily work. You like to bring out the chain saws and cut and carry big chunks of firewood to camp for everyone to watch as you shed your tank top and show us your ripped abs while you swing away at logs. You like to work up a sweat before you collapse into your beach chair with a cold drink to quench your thirst. Part of the fun for glampers is getting to watch you guys.
So, I've decided this blog is going to be about glamping in Hawaii with a little warrior sightings along the way. See, I'm a girl, and like most girls, I Iove it when my man does all the hard work while I sit back and enjoy a good book, sitting in my chair with the shade up to block the hot Kona sun, sipping a nice cold tropical drink. So, if you want to learn more about the Big Island of Hawaii, and the best way to go glamping there, I'll try to give you the inside scoop. And if you have any specific questions about Big Island or camping along the Kona-Kohala coastline feel free to ask away too.
I hope you enjoy my stories and adventures.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, July 22 (UPI) -- Costa Rican President Oscar Arias's latest attempt to return of Manuel Zelaya to power in Honduras was met with resistance by both sides Wednesday.
Arias said he wants Zelaya, who was ousted by a military coup and replaced by an interim government, returned to his leadership position by Friday under an 11-point plan, Voice of American reported.
The so-called San Jose Accord, also calls for the creation of a unity government and early elections, CNN reported.
This latest proposal, which Arias says is his final attempt to resolve the Honduran leadership crisis, is very similar to his original plan but provides more details and would create a truth commission to investigate the events that led to the ouster of Zelaya and his replacement by Roberto Micheletti.
Zelaya delegate Rixi Moncada said the talks had "failed because of the intransigence of the coup regime" and the opportunity for compromise had passed with Arias' original proposal.
Micheletti camp official Mauricio Villegas said the latest proposal would be presented to the three branches of government for their approval.

SHANE Watson has bowled himself into the danger zone. The injury-plagued vice-captain delivered more overs in Hobart than at any stage during his 12-year first class career.
High performance manager Pat Howard claimed that Watson was being carefully managed to ensure the all-rounder will be in good shape for the Boxing Day Test against Sri Lanka at the MCG.
"That was a lot of overs for him to take in or anybody to take in and obviously hes got his batting duties as well," Howard told News Limited.
"He's worked very hard in that Test match and took a couple of key wickets.
"He deserves a lot of credit for the impact he made and the durability and endurance he showed during the game.
"I know he gets a little bit of criticism for that but he deserves a fail amount of praise how he stood up and bowled a lot."
Mitchell Starc is also being carefully monitored, with a heavy workload in the past two Tests having an impact.
Having missed the first two Tests of the season with another calf strain and then bowled just nine overs in each innings against South Africa in Perth, Watson was forced to help cover for the injured Ben Hilfenhaus.
The struggling Tasmanian swing bowler broke down with a side strain after just 12.2 overs, forcing Watson to bowl 20.4 overs in Sri Lankas first innings and 27 overs in the second as Australia won late on the last day.
The most Watson had previously bowled in a Test innings was 24 overs in Mohali during the 2008 Indian tour and the most in Test was 35.4 overs in Nagpur later in the tour.
That is a long way short of the 47.4 overs he bowled in Hobart.
Watson was the only Australian bowler on that 2008 tour who consistently mastered reverse swing but later that year was diagnosed with stress fractures of the back again and missed six months of cricket.
The dual Allan Border Medallist has modified his action and reduced his pace to lessen the impact on his body but the calf strain which cost him the first two Tests came after just four overs in his only Sheffield Shield game this season.
Despite the heavy workload in Hobart Watson claimed there were no lingering concerns.
"I feel fine," Watson said the day after the match. "I'm a bit stiff but other than that I feel really good."
Howard claimed there had been pressure to release Watson to play in the Big Bash League (BBL).
"He could have been playing BBL, jumping on and off planes," Howard said.
"We've got him into an area where he will get himself ready for Boxing Day.
"As the leading T20 player in the last tournament (World T20) its very enticing to bring him back out there."
On the flip side, Mitchell Johnson had been given permission to play in the BBL but declined because has only recently become a father.
"He has got some fairly significant family considerations," Howard said.
"After that, Mitch is back in the Australian side and if you are talking about the boxing Day Test being a priority, I am not apologising for that. "

Orioles stifled by Verlander in loss to Tigers
Orioles stifled by Verlander in loss to Tigers
Baltimore managed just three hits in eight innings against Verlander, as the Tigers won, 4-0, against the Orioles in the series finale before 30,439 at Camden Yards.
Offense has been a problem for the Orioles in recent weeks. They finished with only four hits, and now have scored 73 runs in their last 25 games (2.92 runs per game). In addition, the Orioles have posted three or fewer extra-base hits in 23 of the last 25 games.
And going up against Verlander on a humid afternoon didn't help matters. Verlander (10-5) was trying to bounce back after a poor performance in Tuesday's All-Star Game. He started for the American League and gave up five runs on four hits in the first inning, something that made Orioles manager Buck Showalter a bit worried.
"When he had some struggles in the All-Star Game, I wasn't too excited about it," Showalter said. "I kind of had an idea he was going to be on top of his game today. We shouldn't feel like he's picking on us. He's been doing that to a lot of hitters."
The Orioles threatened in the first and third innings. They left runners on first and second in the first, and another on second in the third.
But Verlander settled down after that, retiring 12 in a row while improving his career record versus the Orioles to 7-0.
"Just kind of knocking off a little bit of rust early," Verlander said. "I didn't feel like I was making bad pitches in the first, just a little off. I was able to settle down and throw consistent strikes. ... I feel that my breaking ball, actually, I thought I found it at the All-Star Game, to be honest with you, which is kind of funny."
Miguel Gonzalez (1-1) was making his second career start for the Orioles and often threw well. He gave up three runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings.
"I thought Miguel was real good, all things considered," Showalter said. "I thought he built on the last good outing. I like what I see."
The biggest problem for Gonzalez -- whose name was misspelled on his jersey in the first inning before he changed into a new uniform -- came in the early innings. He gave up a homer to Austin Jackson on the game's second pitch.
He wound up with similar problems in the second. Brennan Boesch led off the second with a double, went to third on a wild pitch and scored when Jhonny Peralta followed with a single.
But Gonzalez settled down. He didn't allow another hit until the fifth, and the Tigers added a run on Alex Avila's RBI single in the sixth.
"I kept the team in the game," Gonzalez said. "That's what I'm trying to do. I felt good."
Avila's run-scoring hit caused the Orioles another problem. Second baseman Robert Andino injured his left shoulder while diving for the ball and came out of the game.
X-rays were negative, and Andino is going to have an MRI on Monday. He said after the game that the shoulder is sore, but there's no separation.
"The cut of the grass [is where] I got caught, [and my] shoulder stuck," he said. "For me, I don't think I'll go on the DL, though. It's on them [to decide]. It should be like a few days, hopefully."
Jim Thome led the Orioles on offense with a 3-for-4 effort.
One of the positives for the O's was when pitcher Steve Johnson, who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, made his Major League debut in the eighth. The Baltimore native's father, Dave, also pitched for the team from 1989-91, and is a part of the Orioles' broadcast team.
Johnson walked his first two batters in the eighth before retiring the next three. He struck out Don Kelly and Jackson to close the inning, drawing a huge ovation from the hometown fans.
"Just walking off the field in the eighth inning, getting the strikeout and getting out of the jam and having the fans get behind me, that was a pretty special moment," Johnson said. "That's something I'll take with me."
Johnson gave up a solo homer to Miguel Cabrera in the ninth, but impressed Showalter. The Orioles then had to make another roster move after the game, and optioned him back to Norfolk.

Sure, I'm fascinated by Tiger Woods. I'm fascinated by him because I cannot figure him out. I have no idea what drives him, what inspires him, what makes him laugh (other than a misplayed chip bouncing into the hole). I don't know if he's happy living the most luxurious and public life imaginable, or if happiness is beside the point. I don't know if he plays otherworldly golf because it's pivotal to his existence, or because it gives him a high he cannot get anywhere else, or because that golf has won him a billion dollars and the hearts of men on Wall Street and a Swedish supermodel, or if he's inescapably bound to the dreams of his father and a poster of Jack Nicklaus that he had on his wall as a child.
I don't know if Tiger Woods hears the cheers and shrieks as he walks through the crowd, stonefaced, distant, alone, like a prison guard walking the line past the cages while a ring of keys swings and sways off his belt buckle. Maybe he really does not hear them, does not hear us, maybe he really is insulated by gallery ropes and five layers of concentration. It's worth nothing that when he stands over a golf ball he can hear a camera shutter release seven football fields away. I don't know. It's a mystery. I don't know why he throws his clubs like a petulant child when he hits a bad shot or how he climbs into his soul like an old man at peace when he needs to hit a shot close to the hole. I don't know if hits a thousand golf shots a day through pain and aching monotony because he still rages to become the greatest golfer who ever lived or because he doesn't really know what else to do, his destiny has been declared, his coronation has been scheduled, his status as the greatest golfer who ever lived has been prophesied — or as Jim Murray said: "Carmen was announced, Carmen will be sung."
All I know about Tiger Woods can be summed up in about seven words: "I knew he would make that putt."

Back in June of this year, Bloody-Disgusting floated a story that Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures would be producing a sequel to the surprise horror hit "30 Days of Night", and send it directly to DVD, which is a path Ghost House has taken with a lot of their other horror titles. We haven't heard much about the proposed sequel until now. BD once again confirms that a sequel is very much in the works, and that it will bring back original comic book creator Steve Niles to pen the screenplay. No word on whether the sequel would go directly to DVD as previously thought, though.
Via BD:
…we've officially confirmed that Mandate Pictures is working on a sequel to 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, and has Steve Niles and Ben Ketai listed as current writers (although that could change). We also have a synopsis for you: In the sequel to the bone-chilling 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, Stella seeks revenge on the blood-thirsty vampires that destroyed her sleepy Alaskan town. Could Melissa George return? Only time will tell…
I said it in the previous article, and I'll say it again: if the sequel is going directly to DVD, Melissa George won't reprise the Stella role. In Hollywood, you don't do a movie you know will go directly to DVD unless you want to kiss your movie (re: theatrical) career goodbye. There are only two exceptions to this rule: One) You're new to the industry, so doing DTDVD is a stepping stone, and no one will begrudge you for it; Two) You have no other choice.
But I would certainly love to see a sequel to "30 Days of Night". Niles has already published a number of sequels, one that continued to follow Stella as she goes about the United States warning people of vampires and killing them along the way with the help of her very own posse, and another series that returns to the town of Barrow, Alaska. The first one sounds much juicier.
Below: "See that? That's a direct-to-DVD sequel. Wait until it passes us, then RUN!"

1. Dider Drogba, Chelsea. 29 goals in 32 games in 2009-10 for the Ivory Coast superstar. Drogba at number one is a no-brainer, but be advised that he's slated to miss the start of the season after undergoing post-World Cup groin surgery. You definitely want Drogba at striker, but be sure to line up a sturdy second-tier striker to plug in while Drogba gets healthy.
3. Wayne Rooney, Manchester United. Rooney has had a terrible summer, highlighted by his disappearance for England at the World Cup. Rooney also hasn't seen any time in preseason games for Man U in their run-up to the season. But in the end, how do you argue with Rooney's 26 goals? He'll turn 25 years old in October, even though it seems like he has been around forever.
3. Jermain Defoe, Tottenham Hotspur. Defoe missed a month last season with a hamstring injury, but he has the ability to lead the Premier League in scoring if he can stay healthy. The England striker flourishes in manager Harry Redknapp's system, and should be fully expected to score at least 20 goals this season for Spurs.
4. Darren Bent, Sunderland. Bent was left off of the England World Cup roster because he's a poacher. That serves Sunderland just fine though. Bent featured in every game last season, and knocked in 24 goals for the Black Cats. Whether or not Bent can play within a system, when he pops in 20 goals for your fantasy squad you will care less.
6. Emmanuel Adebayor, Manchester City. City only got 26 games out of their biggest signing in 2009-10. Still, Adebayor tallied 14 times in those appearances. He battled injuries, and struggled emotionally after his Togo team bus was shot up at the African Cup of Nations last winter. Pencil 20 goals in for Manu in 2010-11. It was only two years ago that the superstar was second in the league in scoring.
BUYER BEWARE: Carlos Tevez, Manchester City. It's hard to project another 23 goal season for Tevez since it's not really clear how he'll be used by City boss Roberto Mancini. Tevez benefitted from injuries to Emmanuel Adebayor and Roque Santa Cruz last year, but he figures to not see the ball as much this year with a healthy Adebayor alongside him. On top of all of this, Tevez also has said he is having a very hard time finding motivation to play as City head into the season.
SLEEPER: Dimitar Berbatov, Manchester United. It took a year for Berbatov to settle in at Man U, but he showed signs of life towards the end of the season and he has been playing well for the Red Devils in the preseason. Man U have splashed down a lot of money on Berba, and no way he only scores 12 goals this year. He's a nice second option behind one of the superstar strikers.
1. Frank Lampard, Chelsea. As long as Lampard is tabbed to take the penalties for Chelsea again, he'll have another huge season for the Blues. It's hard to envision another 22 goal season, but it's a very, very good bet that Lampard will lead all midfielders in scoring in 2010-11.
2. Andrei Arshavin, Arsenal. In most leagues Arshavin should be eligible as a midfielder. He does play an attacking position behind Nicklas Bendtner, and if he's an eligible middie, snatch him up. He is surrounded by playmakers and could score 12 to 15 goals in his sleep, especially with a healthy Robin van Persie back for the Gunners.
3. Florent Malouda, Chelsea. Malouda was absolutely on fire for the Blues towards the end of last season. For what it's worth, he was probably the best French player at the World Cup. His pace and versatility have finally meshed with a knowledge of how to play the game. Chelsea can't help but score goal after goal after goal, and Malouda should get plenty of chances to assist and score on those goals.
4. Robin van Persie, Arsenal. Van Persie was absolutely terrific at the end of the season in his return from a five month absence due to an ankle injury. Whether or not Cesc Fabregas leaves for Barcelona, it won't impact a healthy van Persie. RVP had nine goals last season, despite missing half of Arsenal's matches. Imagine what he will do with a full season.
5. Steven Gerrard, Liverpool. Stevie G is as consistent as it gets. Nine goals and seven assists is right in line with what you can expect out of England's captain. Gerrard is also an option to take penalties for manager Roy Hodgson at Anfield, which would equal an even higher goal output.
BUYER BEWARE: Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal. Fabregas is a star, but there is a ton of reason to think he'll regress in 2010-11. Robin van Persie will be back, which simply means less shots for Cesc. He scored a remarkable 15 goals last season in the Premiership, but that won't happen again, even if he stays in North London.
SLEEPER: Luka Modric, Tottenham Hotspur. Modric suffered from a broken leg early last season, which limited his production offensively. He is a wizard with the ball, and he can blast in a goal or two as well. Modric has gained rave reviews from anyone who has seen him play, but he's small and a but frail. If he stays healthy, he's the biggest candidate for a breakout season as there is in the Premiership.
1. Glen Johnson, Liverpool. As offensive-minded a defender as there is, Johnson was injured for a good chunk of last season. Even with sitting out over a dozen games, Johnson scored three times and added three assists in 24 starts. He won't mix it up and get a ton of cards, but, a full healthy season of Johnson means a lot of offense, which makes him the easy number one pick.
2. Ashley Cole, Chelsea. Cole may be the best defender in the Premiership, and Chelsea dominates when they play against the lesser teams in the league, which equals plenty of clean sheets. While every Blues defender will do well for you in regards to goals conceded and clean sheets, what separates Cole is his ability to get into the attack and get you points offensively as well.
3. Thomas Vermaelen, Arsenal. Vermaelen led all Premiership defenders with seven goals last season. That alone could very well boost him into the number one spot. He'll get plenty of starts, and Vermaelen and the Gunners should see plenty of clean sheets.
4. Leighton Baines, Everton. It's refreshing to see have someone outside of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United on the list. Baines is an assist machine. His nine assists led all defenders last season, and a healthier Everton side should equal even more offense.
5. Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United. A Manchester United defender had to show up on the list, and Vidic is the guy. Sir Alex won't leave Vidic off of the starting eleven unless he physically cannot walk. He's great in the air, so he can score, and most likely will lead the league in yellow cards.
BUYER BEWARE: Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United. Everything about Ferdinand says stay away. It seems like he's been carrying some sort of injury for the better part of a year. Man U has plenty of replacements ready and waiting, including Chris Smalling and John O'Shea. If you buy Ferdinand, you're buying a name while there are plenty of other, cheaper defenders who are more effective...and it doesn't help that Rio is out until late-September.
SLEEPER: Gareth Bale, Tottenham Hotspur. Bale is a young Glen Johnson. His motor never stops, and if he stays healthy, he can do it all from the back for Spurs. Boss Harry Redknapp will let Bale take set pieces and corners, and the young Welshmen also sends in terrific crosses, so he should get his share of assists. Health is the key, but Bale can be had cheap early. Grab him before the price tag goes up...because it will.

Japan's big spender budget
Japan's economic downturn has seen record homelessness
Japan has begun its first hand-out of shopping coupons, part of a government effort to stimulate the ailing economy.
Parliament at the same time approved a budget which will pump a further $700bn into the economy.
Families with children under 15, and poor or bedridden people over 65, each received 20,000 yen ($175).
The coupons were approved last November as part of a deal between the governing Liberal Democratic Party and the second largest opposition party.
The coupons are valid for six months and must be used in the neighbourhood where they were issued.
Most people will use their coupons for buying ordinary goods, but the vouchers will also be accepted in some red light districts.
Government to spend more
The $682bn spending plan, which now goes to the upper house for a vote, is packaged with $75bn in tax cuts.
It comes at a time when the weak economy has already diminished the government coffers.
Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi expressed relief that the budget had been passed so swiftly.
The plan now goes to the Upper House for a vote, but the Japanese constitution allows it eventually to become law even if the Upper House does not endorse it.
Sceptical reaction
Economists are sceptical about Japan's spending plans, which are likely to increase its already heavy national debt.
"It doesn't address any of the structural problems in the economy. In fact, it does exactly the opposite," said Ron Bevacqua, an economist at Merrill Lynch in Tokyo.
"It allows them to support the economy and avoid structural change."
Experts have also expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the coupons plan.

Anyone who has romanced characters in Dragon Age knows that the build-up is an awkward mesh of giving the correct gifts and doing a side-quest for a character, allowing you to finally "make it" with them. The act itself often looks very robotic, like mashing together people who can only bend at the elbows and knees. While the actual act is a difficult to master, the romancing is in no way realistic to how humans really interact (unless you're a gold digger). Which is why there's going to be a little more nuance in Dragon Age: Inquisition when trying to get with your favorite character.
In an interview with Rock, Paper, Shotgun, producer Cameron Lee, has promised the romancing system will be more complex. Character banter has been a fun part of the Dragon Age series, but you can now interject your comments into the banter. Inquisition romancing will be more about how you interact with your love interest, as well as achieve your goals your lover reacts to that. Different characters will have different preferences (other than sexual orientation).
Also, according to Lee, the romance doesn't have to be one long arc. For any of you who played Origins and tried to romance Alistair, that was an entire game in and of itself. It's nice to hear that everyone won't be such a prude, but then again his innocence was part of his charm… and it made me purchase all of the DLC in order to finally get him to give me that rose. Clever move BioWare.

SAVANNAH -- Two Savannah State University students are recovering after they were injured in a shooting.
The Savannah Morning News reports that the two male students were injured in a Friday night shooting.
Authorities said one of the men was released Saturday afternoon, while the other remained hospitalized. They said neither of the injuries were considered life-threatening.
Police say the shooting happened at an on-campus townhome complex, and witnesses say three men fled the scene in a white Chevy Tahoe.
The names of the victims were not immediately released.
It was the school's second shooting of the year. A student was treated Aug. 13 for a gunshot wound that fractured his ankle in front of a school building.

Oro Valley mayor and town council members were sworn in last week, officially inaugurating a new era in local government.
Satish Hiremath took the oath of office on June 2, making him the town's second popularly elected mayor.
"Order in the court," Hiremath joked as he slammed the gavel for the first time in his tenure. "I always wanted to do that. It's out of my system now."
The new mayor then took a few minutes to thank his predecessor, Mayor Paul Loomis, and town employees, who he said work tirelessly without much credit.
Hiremath then told people what they might expect of the new council and himself.
"What you see before you is six individuals who are dedicated to raising the bar even higher," Hiremath said.
Along with Hiremath, three council members also were sworn in: Joe Hornat, Mary Snider and Lou Waters.
"I feel more comfortable on television in front of millions of people than I do tonight," Waters said. Before retiring and moving to Oro Valley, Waters was a newscaster with CNN.
Snider also spoke briefly, saying she anticipated good working relationships among the council and town staffers.
"I look forward to working with everyone here on the council," Snider said.
Before the swearing-in ceremony, Councilman Barry Gillaspie paid tribute to the two outgoing council members, Loomis and K.C. Carter.
Speaking about Carter, Gillaspie said the former councilman rarely missed a town meeting of any sort, from council to the numerous boards and commissions.
"K.C., thank you so much for your service," Gillaspie said.
Gillaspie also recognized Loomis, who served in the job for 12 years. Loomis was the first popularly elected mayor the town had.
"Paul, thank you for a job well done," Gillaspie said.
The councilman read a proclamation that noted during Loomis' tenure, the town expanded from 25 to 36 square miles and issued more than 1,500 new residential permits.
At the conclusion of the proclamation, the capacity crowd in council chambers gave the former mayor a standing ovation. Loomis then spoke briefly on his time in local government.
"I want to say it's a joy and a pleasure to have been mayor for these 12 years," Loomis said.
He told the audience that the hard work of town employees had made his job as mayor easy.
Loomis stayed through the swearing-in of the new council, then made a quiet exit out the front doors of council chambers.

Pitts wrong to lump all conservatives together
Re: Leonard Pitts column, "In the Republican view, life is sacred — except when it's not" (A-J, Nov. 4)
Mr. Pitts lumps all conservatives with those who make statements before they engage their brains. Life is sacred and must be protected with all the strength and courage we can muster.
He mentions cases of rape and incestuous rape (which to me is even more despicable). These are crimes of violence. Perpetrators should be put away for life —at the very least. At times pregnancy results. That creates another life to be considered. It is not just tissue.
Deciding to take life, even in cases he mentions, should be agonizingly difficult. The very young have the decision made for them. More mature persons make the decision themselves, hopefully with counsel of someone who loves and respects them. In the case of people of faith, much prayer.
When the life of the mother is in danger, other than those dangers inherent to the procedure, the mother still has the last word with the input of the father, again with prayer for people of faith.
Even some of us who are against it in all cases would be open to compromise in the cases he mentions. That would greatly reduce the number of abortions, but pro-abortionists want it for birth control.
From there he delves into political rhetoric — rabbit trails.

text: Pretty good review. Like you, I was greatly disappointed by the desserts on this ship. The chocolate was some brown-colored tasteless goop and nearly all the desserts lacked flavor. Most of the desserts made with fruit were pretty edible but the baked goods--the pies, cakes etc.--mostly awful. Just because it's sweet doesn't mean it's good. We stuck to the Cupcake Factory for the good stuff. Also agree with the quality of the ice show. Those Russians sure can skate.

Oh, thank you very much. I am not sure but are you referring to a user picture. It is skinned but disabled in Skin Studio. I am not sure if you are experienced with handling it a bit. But if you are here is the tip.
Open the skin in SKS and press the EDIT STARTMENU and TASKBAR SECTION >> EDIT STARTMENU. Than go to the TOP PART and go to EXTRA SETTINGS and scroll down to HIDE USER PICTURE and press DISABLED. The user frame has been skinned so it will be working. I felt like it was better without it so that is why I decided not to keep it enabled.
Comment #22 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 12:02 PM
Thank you very much my dear friend.

I am sorry about not supporting xp but I do not have it installed anymore. But perhaps I might put it back if I find the CD which as I thought is lost.

Comment #37 Friday, January 25, 2013 11:16 AM
Dear steelkane, my sincere apologies about this. First off I missed your comment and then I was thinking a bit about it and had to ask someone else having my skin if he was experiencing the same problem. It seems this is a local problem. As nobody else has not as yet come to me on this. A question. Have you tried to install the skin via WB config again? If so the result still persists? Is there anything you might have changed temporarily in your WB settings? Please send the screen dump to me. Email firstname.lastname@example.com. I will look a bit more deeper into it. I really do my best. Thank you
Comment #38 Friday, January 25, 2013 12:37 PM
Thanks I do like your work & use almost all your other blinds without any issues, thats why I bought this one, I"ll try setting everything to defaults, Thank you again

I picked up two canvas money bags at a garage sale for 50 cents each.
And with some lace here and sequins there I made this purse:
I used black lace around "The Royal Bank of Canada" and attached it with fabric glue (very messy) then I sewed on a bow at the top of the square and blakc sequins all over the back. The handles are made with some black T-shirt scraps that I braided together.
I'm proud of it because it's the first purse I've ever made and one of very few craft projects I've ever finished.

It's not every day that I get "three free sins" in the mail, but today I did.
Unfortunately, I used them up even before I got the envelope opened.
I'm talking about Bible teacher, author and Christian radio personality Steve Brown's new book, "Three Free Sins," subtitled, "God's Not Mad at You."
The title comes from Steve's former call-in radio program where he gave callers three free sins — six if they called on a cell phone.

Gardeners get anxious this time of the year. Warm one day, cold the next, the sun coaxes open a little patch of crocus by the path or we catch sight of an old landscape filled with waves of blooming white snow drops.
This year, the show is sure to come early and the forsythia are not the first to bloom, despite this oft cited sign of spring. There are other early bloomers to keep us occupied until spring truly arrives.

I have been following the GI diet and found it very effective and rarely feel hungry. Signed up for 6 months when on offer so works out reasonable cost per week. I frequently change the meals and find it quite easy to change whole meals or single items for accuracy. Also easy to input your own foods to use if not already listed.
I find keeping track through the day makes it easier to stay on track than leaving it for a few days and then inputting. You can change your final meal to keep carbs/protein/fat levels within the daily limits.
Downside - I have used Sainsburys diets before and you could input your exercise and create your own recipes without paying extra. It would be nice to be able to log my exercise alongside my food choices. I don't think it's worth the extra cost to be able to do this.
