Climate Science Once Again Twisted Beyond Recognition By Conservative Media
Blog ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
"Has a central tenant [sic] of global warming just collapsed?" That's the first sentence of a July 29 Fox News article about a recent study which shows nothing of the sort, demonstrating just how broken climate change coverage is at news outlets like Fox, where scientific illiteracy meets political slant.
Last week, Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), one of the few climate scientists who think we don't need to worry much about global warming, published a paper purportedly challenging mainstream climate models that is both limited in scope and, by many accounts, flawed. After a Forbes column by James Taylor of the libertarian Heartland Institute misinterpreted the study and declared that it blows a "gaping hole in global warming alarmism," an avalanche of conservative media outlets, including Fox, followed suit:
In fact, not one of these headlines is supported by the study, which itself suffers from important shortcomings, according to climate experts.
Even Spencer, who has said that part of his job is "to minimize the role of government," says media outlets "are overstating what the research found," according to the Associated Press. On his website, Spencer wrote that the Forbes column makes a key error: "Taylor's article makes it sound much more certain that we have shown that the models produce too much warming in the long term." It is important to note, however, that the UAH press release also overstates the findings and appears designed to attract this type of media attention.
Several climate scientists noticed the inability on the part of conservative media outlets to consider the study with an ounce of caution or nuance:
- NASA climatologist Gavin Schmidt said: "If you want to do a story then write one pointing to the ridiculousness of people jumping onto every random press release as if well-established science gets dismissed on a dime."
- Kerry Emanuel of MIT said those seizing on the study are misstating Spencer's findings and that their reports have "no basis in reality."
- Judith Curry of the Georgia Institute of Technology, a frequent critic of the IPCC, wrote of the Forbes piece: "it may be appropriate to use the word 'alarmist' in some circumstances, but not as an adjective to describe a computer model. This does not help the Heartland Institute to be taken seriously in the climate debate, even by skeptics."
- Richard Somerville of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography said via email that "a well-orchestrated effort to hype" the paper accounts for the media attention it has received, rather than its scientific merit or importance.
Indeed, the fact that this paper has attracted this level and type of media coverage, while other more robust research goes unmentioned, is exasperating for many climate scientists.
Conservative media outlets hyping the study repeated the false claim from the UAH press release and Taylor's Forbes column that the study refutes climate models' predictions of future warming. Fox News anchor Bret Baier even adopted Taylor's language, asserting that "satellite data from the last decade appears to be blowing a hole in global warming":
Working from the UAH press release and Taylor's Forbes piece, a number of conservative media outlets added their own faulty conclusions:
- The FoxNews.com article claimed the study shows that "the planet isn't heating up."
- NewsMax declared that the paper was a "NASA study" that "may prove global-warming alarmists have been wrong all along."
- The website Hot Air claimed the study "shows that the effects of carbon-based warming have been significantly exaggerated."
- The Christian Post claimed Spencer "thinks that data from a NASA satellite can disprove the theory of global warming."
- The 700 Club claimed that the study means "much less greenhouse gases are trapped in the upper atmosphere and that global warming is not a problem"
- Lou Dobbs announced that Spencer will appear on his Fox Business show this week to discuss the study and claimed that the findings "throw the entire global warming theory into question":
These claims are not supported by Spencer's paper. They represent an interpretation of an interpretation of an interpretation of data.
The reason scientists are concerned about greenhouse gas emissions is not just because they cause the planet to warm by allowing less energy to escape to space, but also because that increase in temperatures changes the climate system in ways that amplify the warming.
Water vapor is an example of one of these "positive feedbacks" as it is a powerful greenhouse gas that increases in the atmosphere when the temperature increases. Melting sea ice also amplifies warming because sunshine that would otherwise be reflected by the ice is now being absorbed. Scientists try to account for all of these positive feedbacks as well as any negative feedbacks to determine "climate sensitivity," or how much warming we can expect from a doubling of greenhouse gases compared to pre-industrial levels.
Spencer thinks climate models are overestimating the magnitude of the positive feedbacks, but concedes that his paper doesn't prove that to be the case. Rather, he says his study had the limited aim of responding to a previous publication by Andy Dessler of Texas A&M University which estimated cloud feedback in a way Spencer believes is faulty. "Our paper would never have been written if not for the need to answer Dessler's paper," he said.
Spencer's study compared temperature measurements from 2000-2010 to data from a NASA satellite on how much energy is leaving the atmosphere. He then compared that information to six climate models ("the three most sensitive models and the three least sensitive models") over the 1900-1999 period and found what he calls "huge discrepancies" between the models and the observations regarding the relationship between temperature changes and the energy radiated. But he added: "While this discrepancy is nominally in the direction of lower climate sensitivity of the real climate system," a variety of other factors affecting the statistics "preclude any quantitative estimate of how large the feedback difference is."
In response to Spencer's paper NCAR scientists Kevin Trenberth and John Fasullo ran their own comparison of the models and the observations and concluded that the results depend largely on which models are chosen. In other words, if you select the models in a different way from the 6 used by Spencer, the "huge discrepancies" disappear. Trenberth and Fasullo concluded that "there are some good models and some not so good," but "the net result is that the models agree within reasonable bounds with the observations." They also stated that Spencer's paper "has very basic shortcomings because no statistical significance of results, error bars or uncertainties are given either in the figures or discussed in the text."
In the paper, Spencer goes on to use what's called a simple climate model to interpret his results and concludes that you can't estimate feedback from satellite data because "natural cloud variations" driving temperature changes can be mistaken for cloud feedback. This conclusion does not speak to the validity of the climate models but rather to the validity of attempts to test the models' estimates of climate sensitivity with satellite observations. For their part, Trenberth and others take issue with Spencer's model and say temperature changes drive cloud behavior, not the other way around.
Judith Curry wrote that the analysis by Trenberth and Fasullo "points out some significant flaws" in Spencer's paper. Curry said that while she agrees with part of the paper, Spencer and his co-author were "concluding too much from their analysis about feedback, sensitivity, and the performance of models," adding:
It needs to be understood that given the short period of their data set, Spencer and Braswell are looking only at fast feedback processes associated with clouds (not the longer feedbacks associated with oceans and ice sheets). How to translate all of this into a conclusion that climate models are producing incorrect sensitivity to greenhouse warming is not at all clear.
Kerry Emanuel similarly stated that "there is nothing in the paper that casts in doubt what the IPCC models are telling us, only that a particular technique for diagnosing climate feedback from short-term observations (not models) is suspect." He also said the paper "has no implications whatsoever" for the question of whether global warming is an urgent problem.
Conservative media continue to distort the study:
- After claiming that Spencer's research was "debunking climate change," Lou Dobbs hosted Spencer on the August 3 edition of his Fox Business show. During the interview, both Dobbs and Spencer overstated the findings of the study.
- On the August 4 edition of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh aired audio clips of Spencer's appearance on Dobbs' show and claimed that the study showed that "the whole thing has been" a "hoax."
- On the August 6 edition of Fox & Friends Saturday, guest host Juliet Huddy claimed that "a new NASA study seems to debunk whether [global warming] is actually manmade."
- On the August 6 edition of Fox Business Tom Sullivan Show, Marc Morano claimed Spencer's study shows "that the global warming alarm spread by Al Gore and the United Nations is in utter scientific collapse."
UPDATE (9/2): The editor of the journal that published Spencer's paper has resigned after concluding that it should "not have been published."

NAME: Bylong Creek 4X4
LOCATION (nearest road/crossroads): Wooley's Road, Upper Bylong
CLOSEST TOWN: Bylong NSW
ACCESSABILITY (4WD, AWD, 2WD): 4WD required for where we camped
SIZE (how many camps would fit): 30 plus
FACILITIES (toilet/shower/drinking water): drop toilet
PHONE RECEPTION (yes/no/poor): Poor
PERMIT REQUIRED (yes/no): No. E-mail confirmation
CAMPING COSTS: $10.00/person/day (under 15 free)
DOG FRIENDLY (yes/no): Yes
In issue 175 of the 4WD Action mag there was a write up on the various 4WD recreation parks which are dotted around Australia, one of which was Bylong Creek 4X4 which is situated about 10 kms from Bylong and adjacent to the Wollemi National Park. I was curious to see what this relative new park was like so decided to do a quick overnight recce type trip last weekend to see what it had to offer.
The weather forecast for the weekend wasn't great, but that has never put me off going camping before, and so having spoken to the owner Bruce Kerney on the phone and confirmed our booking via e-mail, we got an early start and headed out. It was about a 1 1/2 hr trip to Bylong where we met Bruce, we're given a few freebys (I love stickers), and then were escorted into the property, with the trip from Bylong in taking about 1/2 to 3/4 hr.
There was a number of camping areas available, however we picked one of the larger areas which had a drop toilet for the girls, and was accessed via a small creek crossing. The site was well grassed and had rocky cliffs over looking it, quite spectacular, and you can't ask for anything better to go to sleep to than the sound of a babbling brook directly beside the camper.
After we had set up the camper and had a bite to eat, we set about exploring as many of the tracks as we could, and to the surprise of Bruce conquered most of the current tracks, including the wombat holes and the Coffin Track (competition pit area). With the park being relatively new more tracks are being established all the time, and with use the current ones will probably increase in their difficulty.
It wasn't difficult to find enough firewood in close proximity to the camping area, and so we built a modest fire to look at for the evening. During the night we were awoken a few times by the steady pitter patter of rain on the camper roof, and woke next morning to a bleak sky. When the camper dried enough between the scattered showers we decided to pack and head for home. This turned out to be a good decision as the rain got much heavier shortly after we packed, and we had a very wet trip home.
I have full intentions of returning to Bylong Creek 4x4, maybe not to tackle all the tracks again, but more for the nice camping spots and relaxing nature of the place.

2005 Monon Bell Game to Air Again Nationally on DirecTVby Jim Amidon • June 29, 2005 Share:
The countdown is on to the 112th Monon Bell Classic, and again this year, finding the telecast of the Saturday, November 12 game will be as simple as 321. The battle between Wabash and DePauw -- tied at 51-51-9 -- will be available live nationwide via DirecTV on channel 321.
Fans in Central Indiana will also be able to tune in to WHMB (Channel 40), which will carry the game live at 1 p.m. The announcement was made by Ken Owen, director of media relations at DePauw; and Jim Amidon, director of public affairs and marketing at Wabash.
"The feedback we received from our fans last year was fantastic," says Amidon. "In fact, it's safe to say that last year's telecast created the most glitch-free arrangement we've ever had, in terms of alumni being able to find the game on DirecTV and watch it with friends and foes alike.
"When you consider that we have about fifty alumni parties all across the United States, putting the game on a system that's easy to tune in is key," says Owen. "Anyone who has access to a DirecTV signal -- and you'll find it at almost any establishment in the United States that shows NFL games on Sundays -- will be able to pull in the game. It's easy and reliable, and the quality is superb whether you're across the state or on one of the coasts."

MySQL is a widely spread, multi-threaded, multi-user SQL database. For more information about features, see the official homepage.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration
- 3 Upgrading
- 4 Running multiple instances (MySQL 4 and MySQL 5)
- 5 Troubleshooting
- 6 More Resources
Install the mysql package which is available in the official repositories.
After installing MySQL, you should run the setup script as root:
# rc.d start mysqld && mysql_secure_installation
Then restart MySQL:
# rc.d restart mysqld
To start MySQL automatically at boot, edit
/etc/rc.conf and add
mysqld to the
DAEMONS array.
There is also a systemd service file available on the Systemd Services page.
Once you have started the MySQL server, you probably want to add a root account in order to maintain your MySQL users and databases. This can be done manually or automatically, as mentioned by the output of the above script. Either run the commands to set a password for the root account, or run the secure installation script.
You now should be able to do further configuration using your favorite interface. For example you can use MySQL's command line tool to log in as root into your MySQL server:
$ mysql -p -u root
To start MySQL at bootup add
mysqld to the list of daemons in
Enable remote access
The MySQL server does not listen on the TCP port 3306 by default. To allow (remote) TCP connections, comment the following line in
You might consider running this command after you have upgraded MySQL and started it:
# mysql_upgrade -u root -p
Running multiple instances (MySQL 4 and MySQL 5)
MySQL4: You can get the MySQL binaries from here It is best to install them into:
Copy the start-up script to:
as instructed in the README:
# cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/mysqld4
In the start-up script, it helps to explicitly set
Basedir=/usr/local/mysql pid_file=/usr/local/var/run/mysql/mysql4.pid
(make sure the referenced directories are created with suitable permissions)
Copy your choice of config file:
# cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-medium.cnf /usr/local/mysql/data/my.cnf
In the config file, set the socket file and the TCP/IP port:
[client] port = 3307 socket = /usr/local/var/run/mysql/mysql4.sock
[mysqld] port = 3307 socket = /usr/local/var/run/mysqld/mysql4.sock
MySQL5: The default start-up script in:
does not handle multiple instances of mysql.
Edit the file. Find this line:
getPID() { echo $(pgrep -u mysql mysqld 2>/dev/null); }
And replace it with:
getPID() { echo $(pgrep -u mysql -f /usr/bin/mysqld 2>/dev/null); }
Start up the services:
/etc/rc.d/mysqld start /etc/rc.d/mysqld4 start
Optional, start the services automatically (in
/etc/rc.conf). Add the following two daemons to the DAEMONS array:
- mysqld4
- mysqld
That should be it!
Running mysqld start && mysql_secure_installation gives an error about running as root
If you see something like this:
[ERROR] Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root! [ERROR] Aborting [Note] mysqld: Shutdown complete
you probably forgot to use
./ in front of the command if you are in
/etc/rc.d, or you are not using the full path.
MySQL daemon cannot start
If you see something like this:
# /etc/rc.d/mysqld restart :: Stopping MySQL [FAIL] :: Starting MySQL [FAIL]
and there is no entry in the log files, you might want to check the permissions of files in the directories
/var/lib/mysql and
/var/lib/mysql/mysql. If the owner of files in these directories is not
mysql:mysql, you should do the following:
# chown mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql -R
If you run into permission problems despite having followed the above, ensure that your
my.cnf is copied to
# cp /etc/mysql/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf
Now try and restart the daemon.
If you get these messages in your
[ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock ? [ERROR] Aborting
you should change permissions of
/var/run/mysqld like so:
# chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld -R
If you run mysqld and the following error appears:
Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist
Run the following command from the /usr directory to install the default tables:
# cd /usr # mysql_install_db --user=mysql --ldata=/var/lib/mysql/
Unable to run mysql_upgrade because MySQL cannot start.
Try run MySQL in safemode:
# mysqld_safe --datadir=/var/lib/mysql/
And then run:
# mysql_upgrade -u root -p
How to Reset the Root Password
Stop the mysqld daemon
# /etc/rc.d/mysqld stop # mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
Connect to the mysql server
# mysql -u root mysql
Change root password:
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; mysql> exit
Then restart the daemon:
# /etc/rc.d/mysqld restart
You are done.
How to Enable Auto-completion
On Arch, the MySQL client completion feature is disabled by default. To enable it system-wide edit
/etc/mysql/my.cnf, search for
no-auto-rehash and replace it by :
#no-auto-rehash auto-rehash
Completion will be enabled next time you run the MySQL client. Please note that enabling this feature can make the client initialization longer.

Your doctors and surgeons have failed to eliminate your pain and problem. But YOU aren't doomed to never-ending pain.
Did you know that with the RIGHT treatment your Tendonitis Symptoms can be reversed?
Every. Single. Time.
The trick is, tendon pain can come from a variety of directions, and a Tendonitis Treatment must EFFECTIVELY deal with the right factors.
That's why your Tendinitis symptoms, pain, and problem seems to be a mystery to the vast majority of doctors and medical professionals. Have you noticed that once they prescribe what they have in their toolbox, they have no other options to help you (except more of the same)?
You just need the RIGHT understanding of how the body works and the RIGHT know how to -effectively- deal with it.
Treating Tendonitis is an Expert Massage Therapist's bread and butter. Symptoms of Tendonitis, when understood, are simple to deal with.
* Without Drugs. Without Surgery.
* Without wasting time or money.
* Without extra information that you don't need and won't use.
* No matter how long you've been hurting, or what else you've tried.
How can you stop suffering from the Symptoms of Tendonitis related issues like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Wrist Tendonitis, Tennis Elbow, Trigger Finger, Repetitive Strain Injury, Golfers Elbow, Tenosynovitis, Achilles Tendonitis, etc?
You have to understand the Pain Causing Dynamic.
An effective Tendonitis Treatment has to deal with the CAUSE of your symptoms, as opposed to trying to mask or diminish just the symptoms.
What you won't find here:
We won't waste time educating you about the 'best' kinds of wrist splints or corticosteroid shots or surgery.
"I went to the doctor 2 times in Turkey and Germany. They didn't understand what is going on and they didn't help at all ! Thank you so much for solving my problem. My pain is 90 percent gone. I can play guitar again."
Can Ozan
"I have to say that in my quest to understand and alleviate my tendonitis without drugs , injections or surgery, I have found the explanations, information and advice on on your site and in the ebooks second to none."
"I have been dealing with numerous joint and soft tissue injuries, seen multiple doctors, and done every conservative therapy you can think of. By far, the most useful information I have acquired is provided by Joshua via his literature and personal communication. If you follow the protocol, you WILL GET BETTER. You have to put in the work, but it will pay off in the end!"
Mike khoury
Dallas, Texas
"I have been a client of Joshua's for almost a decade. Now
Joshua works on me every time he's up in Seattle. Last time I had elbow
pain that had been hurting me as a result of a sports-related injury.
Joshua told me to do a specific self-care thing for it, and said he
wasn't going to bother spending time on it because I could fix it
myself. I did what he suggested (hesitantly) for two days, and the pain
was gone."
John Rubino
Have you had enough?
Are you interested in finally getting out of tendinitis pain, reversing the 'problem', and getting back to living a pain free life?
There is a lot of information out there. There are many medical treatments and types of therapy. There are a lot of theories, advice columns, and answers for sale.
Many people tell me that they've 'tried everything'. But they haven't. They only tried methods that didn't work.
It's because there's something missing.

A memoir by Kim Douglas of the Hope College English faculty is geared toward helping others break the cycle of family violence that marked her own life growing up.
Douglas, who is an adjunct assistant professor of English, is the author of "High Desert: A Journey of Survival and Hope," published this month by Baha'i Publishing. In the memoir, she reveals her childhood experiences in an abusive home and shares her journey to healing, hoping that her story will make a difference to others who have endured similar circumstances.
"There are a lot of hurting people out there," she said. "We need to break the cycle of violence. How do we go about doing that? I hope my story offers inspiration."
Therapist and nutritionist Dr. Marla Friedman has said, "This beautiful book by Kim Douglas is a touching, poignant story that is exquisitely sensitive and powerfully insightful. It is a story about enduring abuse, survival, healing through adversity, the resilience of the human spirit and hope. I am recommending this book to all my patients, colleagues and all those who care about in-depth healing."
In "High Desert," Douglas recalls the character of her home life while growing up, such as a time when her father stormed into her room when she didn't feel well and then cursed at and berated her: "'You're not sick. You just think you are.' He threw his fist at me, pinned me to the bed, slapped my face, continuing to holler. Then he left the room and continued to rant and rave at Mom."
The emotional and physical abuse left deep wounds. She describes a wide range of resultant issues - eating disorders, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, and troubled relationships with friends and other family members. She also recounts the challenging path to overcoming them - committing to ongoing therapy, learning to apply spiritual teachings in a more nurturing and less authoritarian way, and cultivating a sustaining relationship with her body. This holistic approach - informed by the teachings of the Baha'i faith and the encouragement and support of family, friends, mentors, and therapists - enabled Douglas to find effective ways to cope with life's challenges, trust others in a close relationship, parent without repeating the cycle of abuse, and forgive the abuser and those who don't help in a time of crisis.
The book is one manifestation of Douglas's desire to help others who are struggling with their own abuse experiences. A past board member of the Center for Women in Transition, she is also scheduled and arranging to speak at a variety of organizations in support of abuse victims, in addition to engaging in readings and other events tied to the book's release.
Douglas has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1995. Her interests include multicultural education, race relations, and domestic violence and child-abuse prevention.
She was a co-founder of the Alliance for Cultural and Ethnic Harmony in Holland. During 2005-06, she and her husband David, who teaches with the West Ottawa Public Schools, and Dr. Jeanine Dell'Olio of the Hope education faculty received support from the National Diversity Education Program to develop presentations to increase cultural sensitivity and awareness among area middle school teachers.
Douglas was a keynote speaker in the Family Forum during the 10th Anniverary of the U.N. International Year of the Family conference in Dublin, Ireland in 2004. She has also been a featured speaker during the local annual Challenge of Children conference.
Her publications include the nonfiction essay "Pilgrimage" and poems in the anthology "Where Art & Faith Converge" (George Ronald Press, 2008), short stories for children in the "Core Curriculum Education Series" (Baha'i, 2002), and poems in periodicals including "Grand Valley Review," "Orison" and "Iowa Woman." She was a semi-finalist in the 2003 Elixir Press Third Annual Poetry Awards, and in 2003 was named professor of the year in the Educational Support Program of Grand Valley State University.
She completed her undergraduate and MFA degrees at the University of Arizona in 1987 and 1990 respectively.
"High Desert: A Journey of Survival and Hope" costs $20, and is available through the college's Hope-Geneva Bookstore, located on the ground level of the DeWitt Center on Columbia Avenue at 12th Street, as well as other area booksellers.

GREENSBORO, NC - Jeff Whitacre of Food Express/Atlanta Vending is building a network of vending and foodservice operators. USConnect launched with 14 members who operate about 16,000 connected vending machines, micromarkets, and corporate dining facilities in 20 markets. Whitacre is planning to take the program, which offers members exclusive territories, nationwide within a year.
Whitacre, who is chief executive of USConnect, said like-minded operators who have seen margins erode in recent years need a business model that adds value. A year in development, the program′s systems and infrastructure provide fully integrated and "consumer centric" services in the vending, micromarket, and dining segments. The network employs technology from Streamware and Cantaloupe Systems, and it has a "contractual relationship" with Unified Strategies Group (Arlington Heights, IL), a purchasing cooperative.
Cashless payment is a key component of the program, which includes own card. The USConnect Card is backed by loyalty and rewards programs and charitable contributions with the benefit of a hosted balances network providing no-cost card services.
USConnect members also benefit from a dietitian-directed "healthy" initiative, a sustainability project, a national account program, sales training and support, corporate Web branding, and financial benchmarking services.
"We have built a system that will enable vend operators to move rapidly and affordably into the future and guide and help them along the way to greater success," Whitacre added. "Vend operators who want to survive in the current industry landscape need to band together and create a premium national image based on transparency, optimized operations, and providing enhanced consumer value."
Food Express/Atlanta Vending is headquartered in Greensboro, NC, and has branches in the Carolinas and Georgia.

NZ Sylvia Park court action launched
Property Here - Tuesday, April 02, 2013
Kiwi Income Property Trust is suing global builder Brookfield Multiplex over alleged building defects at New Zealand's biggest shopping mall.
After a case note appeared on a daily court list, Kiwi chief executive Chris Gudgeon confirmed action over the $540 million Sylvia Park Shopping Centre.
"This is to do with some defects that have yet to be remedied under the terms of our Sylvia Park construction contract with Brookfield Multiplex," he said.
Full details are yet to emerge and Gudgeon is refusing to say more.
"As the matter is before the courts it is not appropriate for us to comment further," he said.
A case management telephone conference was scheduled last Wednesday in the High Court at Auckland where Sylvia Park Business Centre is taking action against Brookfield Multiplex Construction, before Associate Justice John Fair.
Companies Office records showed Sylvia Park Business Centre is owned by NZ Permanent Trustees and its directors are Kiwi Income Property Trust chiefs Chris Gudgeon, Mark Luker, Gavin Parker and ex-chief executive Angus McNaughton.
Brookfield Multiplex built Kiwi's most valuable mall at a time it was extremely active here and before it wound up its interests.
On December 4, New Zealand-registered Brookfield Multiplex Constructions (NZ) appointed liquidators because of a lack of new projects in a tough market, although it had largely ceased operating here in 2011. The company has liquidators, receivers or voluntary administrators appointed.
Anthony McCullagh and Stephen Lawrence, of PKF Corporate Recovery in Auckland, said in their first report that they had been advised "of claims against the company in relation to various construction contracts. The validity and quantum of these claims has yet to be determined. The liquidators understand the claims relate to The Spencer on Byron, Nautilus Apartments, Century on Anzac, Victopia Apartments and Sylvia Park Shopping Centre."
They found a $2.1 million shortfall for unsecured creditors in the book value of the business and named a number of body corporates on the creditor list, represented by leaky building specialists Grimshaw & Co of the Chorus tower in Wyndham St and Rainey Law of the Vero in Shortland St. Auckland Council, represented by its leaky building specialist counsel Heaney & Co Barristers and Solicitors, were also named as creditors, along with Sylvia Park Business Centre, represented by lawyers MinterEllisonRuddWatts.
"It's all being handled by everyone's solicitors at the moment and part of the reason everyone is agreeing to adjournments is that people are trying to establish how Brookfield Multiplex's insurance fits into all of this and potentially the fact that some of the claimants might be secured creditors," Lawrence said, citing a number of insurers.
Once a company has gone into liquidation, the court's leave must be granted for it to remain named as a party to action.
"We don't want to be seen as frustrating any of the claims so we took a neutral position, staying as a named party for easy of discovery," Lawrence said.
On Thursday, Kiwi released an operational update showing Sylvia Park's value had risen $36.7 million or 7.3 per cent in the year to March 31 "due to its strong trading performance".

*100 per cent occupied
*Generated $30.8m net annual rent

By Heather Parris-Fitzpatrick
In this era of testing, it's a good time to reflect on the elements of Mastery Learning as an instructional model and see how it may benefit the 21st century English Language Learner. ESL students of every proficiency level can benefit from this approach.
ELLs routinely participate in standardized assessments that are designed for native language speakers. Oftentimes these students cannot accurately demonstrate their mastery of a topic without yet having mastery of the English language.
With the iPad and a mastery learning approach students can create dynamic and entertaining multimedia presentations that can be used as alternative assessments that inform instruction.
Most mastery learning concepts come from Benjamin Bloom who coined the term. Mastery learning is based on individualized instruction that is targeted and informed by data. Teachers use frequent formative assessment to monitor student progress and provide high quality, corrective instruction to improve student achievement.
Bloom introduced the concept based on the premise that even though students have various learning rates and modalities, if teachers provide the necessary time and appropriate learning conditions, nearly all students can reach a high level of achievement. Research has consistently linked the elements of mastery learning to highly effective instruction and student learning success (Guskey 2010).
This approach is a natural choice for ESL students who are often faced with rigorous content demands while struggling at the same time to acquire English proficiency. As ELL advocates, we know that our ELLs need alternative strategies to access content and they are not always able to demonstrate their content knowledge through traditional means of assessment.
The iPad provides the multimedia support for content that ELLs need and also allows ELLs to demonstrate mastery of a topic, regardless of their English proficiency.
The simplest way for students to demonstrate mastery is to use the built in video camera and have students create short direct instruction videos on a topic they have mastered. Another option is to use traditional tools like PowerPoint or Keynote on the iPad to create multimedia presentations.
Finally, there are many useful apps that incorporate images, video, audio, writing and drawing to create interactive multimedia presentations and videos. I've listed some of them in the table below.
Educreations is a recordable interactive whiteboard that captures your voice and handwriting to produce video lessons that you can share online. Students and colleagues can replay lessons in any web browser, or from within the app on their iPads. There is also a community showcase on the homepage or the "Featured" tab in the iPad app to view lessons that other teachers have created with Educreations.
Audioboom is an application for recording and sharing your voice with the world. This free version allows you to create audio up to 3 minutes in length and post that to your own account on the web. You can add titles, tags, geolocation info and a photo to the recording before you upload it and it will save all that with the file. The audio can then be shared with your followers or via Facebook, Twitter & other social networks.
Story Kit is an iPhone app created by the International Children's Library Foundation. This app allows users to create their own digital ebook that includes video and voice recordings, images, drawings and text. The book is stored on the apps bookshelf to be edited or read at any time.
Videolicious allows users to create videos without having significant editing expertise. Users choose from videos and photos stored on their iPad, place them in order and then stitch together that media. It enables them to use transitions, visual effects, and logos. Once users have picked the media they want to use, all they have to do is tap the videos while narrating over them, and they can later add soundtracks.
|Explain Everything lets you annotate, animate, and narrate explanations and presentations. Explain Everything records on-screen drawing, annotation, object movement and captures audio. Import Photos, PDF, PPT, and Keynote fromDropbox, Evernote, Email, iPad, photo roll and camera. Export MP4 movie files, PNG image files, and share the .XPL project file with others for collaboration.

Before They Were Famous: Billy Currington
Billy Currington's fans know the country singer looks pretty good showing off his toned arms. While he's spent some time in the gym, a job pouring cement certainly helped sculpt his bod. One of the jobs he had before hitting it big with 'Walk a Little Straighter Daddy' in 2003 was working 16 hours a day at a cement plant. He also worked at a paper mill after high school and a pawn shop before getting his big break.
That break actually came through another pre-fame job. Currington was a personal trainer, and it was there he met a publishing executive who helped him land a publishing deal. Quickly he was noticed as a smooth singer, and by 2003 he was on his way to cutting his debut album. The cement truck will forever be parked for this country hitmaker.

SPOILER: Do These Photos Confirm The Winner Of The Bachelor?
None of Richie, Alex or Nikki are in these photos... but do they hold a vital clue in who wins The Bachelor tonight?
Photos have surfaced of The Bachelor van being packed up to leave Bali after the Finale wrapped up and some sharp-eyed viewers have noticed something with the luggage.
The Nike bag that Richie has been spotted with at the airport and the very identifiable bright green suitcase of Alex's are both in the van...
SPOILER ALERT: Does this prove Alex Nation is the winner of #TheBachelorAU? 🌹https://t.co/zbou5qKrOf pic.twitter.com/Qc7XTNpgQe— Daily Mail Australia (@DailyMailAU) September 14, 2016
While some were quick to dismiss this spotting, the real kicker comes when it was announced that Richie didn't leave Bali for three days after the finale was filmed.
No doubt spending some much-anticipated 'alone time' with his chosen missus.
But the runner up allegedly left the island shortly after the finale.
Hmm... The Bachelor producers have been so careful about the final reveal last year after the slip up with last year's Bachelorette.
But could this have been their undoing?
Or are they just trying to divert our attention and throw us off the scent?
Tonight will reveal all!

Benedick and Beatrice, the prickly lovers in Much Ado About Nothing, are the most delightfully notorious in a long line of squabbling sweethearts who say they can't bear each other but can't bear to be without each other. Indeed, there's a B-and-B-style romance in the musical Oklahoma! which played at Pittsfield's Colonial Theatre earlier this summer. Now the originals are squaring off in that town, as the Barrington Stage Company mounts its first-ever Shakespeare. The classic comedy pairs BSC veterans Christopher Innvar and Gretchen Egolf as the quick-witted combatants.
If you prefer your Bard bite-size, have a taste of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) (which is pictured), an irreverent fast-forward through the entire canon. In this homage à trois, three actors manically summarize, condense, parody and improvise their way through every known work of Shakespeare in under two hours. It's playing at the Hampshire Shakespeare Company, capping their season, which included two different versions of… Much Ado About Nothing.
Much Ado: Through Aug. 25, Barrington Stage Company, 30 Union St., Pittsfield, (413) 236-8888, www.barringtonstageco.org.
Complete Works: Aug. 14-18, 21-25, 7 pm, Renaissance Center, 650 East Pleasant St., Amherst. www.hampshireshakespeare.org.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With the conference tournament looming, Tech has just seven games remaining in their regular season of play and only one mid-week contest remaining in their home stand against Lipscomb on Tuesday. Just the second night game of the season for the Golden Eagles in Bush Stadium, the first pitch is slated for 6 p.m.
Already having edged the Bisons, 6-5, in Nashville earlier this year, the Golden Eagles will look to complete the season sweep and close in on the 33-28 lead that Lipscomb holds on the lifetime record.
Casanova Donaldson continues to lead the line-up at the plate, hitting at a .331 mark in various positions in the order. The veteran outfielder's 56-for-169 efforts on the year have yielded 26 RBI for Tech in 44 games started. Fellow senior and outfielder Chad Oberacker leads the team in scoring, having notched 44 RBI going 52-for-169 in the batters box for a .306 average. Additionally, Oberacker leads the Golden Eagles in total bases with 91 and home runs with nine.
Both Donaldson and Oberacker went 3-for-5 against the Bison's pitching staff in their last outing.
Tech plans to pitch a staff on Tuesday, with the starter to be determined. Likewise, Lipscomb's starting hurler has yet to be determined.
The Bisons will look to Richie Goodenow with his team-high .376 average at the plate, and Josh Chism, who's .326 mark has helped him amass 34 RBI for the team on the year. However it was M.L. Williams and Kyle Henry who were responsible for the majority of the runs on the board for Lipscomb. Both batters, who are hitting .355 and .252 respectively, had multi-RBI games with two apiece.
Following Tuesday evening's game, Tech will host one more conference series against UT Martin this weekend, and will travel to Murray for the final OVC series of the season the following weekend.

For the Rich, $5 Million Is the New $1 Million

Limbaugh Repeatedly Calls First Lady "Michelle, My Butt"
Research ››› ››› MIKE BURNS
For years, Rush Limbaugh has referred to first lady Michelle Obama as "Michelle, my belle." But in recent months, Limbaugh has repeatedly called Obama "Michelle, my butt" and then acted as though he misspoke.
Limbaugh Frequently Refers To First Lady As "Michelle, My Butt"
Limbaugh Attacks "Michelle, My Butt" For "Talking About Nutrition." On the October 18 edition of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh said:
LIMBAUGH: Liberalism, socialism, communism responsible for more deaths than cell phones could ever hope to be. Liberalism, socialism, communism is responsible for more deaths than cancer. Yet everything they do is predicated on saving us from ourselves, everything they do is predicated on keeping us safe. Michelle, my butt -- uh, Michelle, my belle Obama out there talking about nutrition. You can't eat that, you shouldn't eat that. She's making field trips to food manufacturers trying to force them to alter the way they manufacture food. [Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show, 10/18/10]
Limbaugh: "Michelle, My Butt" Is "Not Drawing Big Crowds And She's Not Happy About This." From the November 2 edition of Limbaugh's show:
LIMBAUGH: Why is he leaving town and taking 3,000 people with him two days after the election, a trip which has been planned for months? Democrats all over the country are asking him to redo his whole agenda. His wife, Michelle, my butt -- uh, uh, Michelle, my belle Obama, she's out there, and she's not drawing big crowds and she's not happy about this. She thinks that her time has been wasted.
She's out there amongst the little people and the little people didn't show up, except for Harry Reid. Did you see them walk out together on the stage? Harry Reid looks like a dwarf walking out. Michelle is not happy. The big crowds didn't show up. And there are stories in the media today about how she was the best asset they had, and they didn't use her properly. [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 11/2/10]
Limbaugh Refers To "Michelle, My Butt" and Purports to "Apologize." From the November 8 edition of Limbaugh's show:
LIMBAUGH: This is CNN, their Web page: "For 10 weeks, Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakelets every three hours, instead of meals. To add variety in his steady stream of Hostess and Little Debbie snacks, Haub munched on Doritos chips, sugary cereals and Oreos, too." This is a nutrition professor. "His premise: That in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most -- not the nutritional value of the food. The premise held up: On his 'convenience store diet' --" now, remember, this is what Michelle, my butt -- uh, that's the second time I've done that and I apologize.
You know, I have sworn, folks, that I'm not gonna pass on stories to you that have to do with her fashion sense, 'cause I, frankly, don't care. I really don't care. But some of it's getting too hard to stomach now. The fact that she's a fashion icon, I'm sorry. When she gets off the plane wearing something that looks like it's got grease splotches on the dress, looks like she ran up against the hydraulic machine on the airplane and they're calling it a fashion statement, I'm sorry, it doesn't cut it with me. [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 11/8/10]
Limbaugh Calls Michelle Obama "Michelle, My Butt." On the December 13 edition of his radio show, Limbaugh said:
LIMBAUGH: I was joking a moment ago about Michelle, my butt -- damn it. Michelle my belle's' obesity thing out here. Look at this. Speaking at Monday's -- AP -- it's at Newsbusters and a number of places. Speaking at Monday's signing ceremony for the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act or Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act -- See, I didn't know if -- I keep getting confused -- if today's bill is to stop kids from starving to death or to keep them from getting fat." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 12/13/10]
Limbaugh Routinely Attacks Women's Appearance
Limbaugh Discusses Michelle Obama's Supposed Weight Gain "Below The Waist" With Caller. On the October 18 edition of Limbaugh's radio show, a caller theorized that Obama had gained weight. Limbaugh replied: "I'm glad you said it and not me. Where has she gained all this weight? What did you see?" He later asked the caller:
LIMBAUGH: Look, as one woman looking at another, Barb, where has she gained 30 pounds? What are you seeing?
CALLER: She was in a pantsuit and she looks like she's gained it all over. And I am all about nutrition, I am all about looking fit, being fit, but you don't stand up on a podium and come in and tell General Mills -- the quote in the paper, if they don't change, it will be the government or else.
LIMBAUGH: Yes you most certainly do if you are a Marxist totalitarian type. You most certainly do. Okay, so she said pantsuit, focused on below the waist, Michelle's gained 30 pounds. You figure out where it must be. She said it, folks. [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 10/18/10]
Limbaugh: Hillary Clinton Wasn't Let Into Marines Because "They Didn't Have Uniforms Or Boots Big Enough To Fit That Butt And Those Ankles." From the September 23, 2009 edition of Limbaugh's show:
LIMBAUGH: Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State. With her many years of military experience and training tells us that the general doesn't know what he's talking about. And I made mention of the fact that, you know, she once tried to join the Marines. That's as close as she got. I couldn't remember if it was the Marines or the Army. Close as she ever got. And she tried to say they wouldn't let her in because it was sexist and she was a woman, and so on. That wasn't the reason. They didn't have uniforms or boots big enough to fit that butt and those ankles. [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 9/23/09]
Limbaugh Compares Rosie O'Donnell To A "Killer Whale." On the February 26 edition of his show, Limbaugh said:
LIMBAUGH: I'm watching the networks here, and they're getting ready for the press conference from Sea World. This is the most amazing thing. They've got a podium and microphone set up in front of the tank with a glass wall. You can see the -- You can see the killer whales all swimming around, and one of them keeps coming to the glass as though it wants to say something
I'm told that's not a killer whale. That's Rosie O'Donnell. I'm sorry, I'm not watching this in high definition." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 2/26/10]
Limbaugh On Martha Coakley: "If It Weren't For Her Varicose Veins, She Would Be Totally Colorless." On January 18, Limbaugh said: "The narrative is to throw Marsha Coakley under the bus, that she blew it. And she has, she has -- I mean, if it weren't for her varicose veins, she would be totally colorless. There's not question about that. But here are the biggest factors: Scott Brown worked his tail off." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 1/18/10]
Limbaugh: "Feminism Was Established So As To Allow Unattractive Women Easier Access To The Mainstream of Society." On the April 10, 2009 edition of his show, Limbaugh discussed a story about the impact of breast implants on one's career and said:
LIMBAUGH: Can I redirect you to feminist truth number 24, undeniable truth of life number 24, written by me in the mid-eighties: Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society. It's proved practically every day in our modern culture. [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 4/10/09]
Limbaugh: "I Love The Women's Movement. Especially Walking Behind It." Limbaugh stated on February 3:
LIMBAUGH: Oh, I'm a huge supporter of women. What I'm not is a supporter of liberalism. Feminism is what I oppose, and feminism has led women astray. I love women. I don't know where all this got started. I love the women's movement, especially when walking behind it. This idea that I don't like women is absurd. [Fox News' Fox & Friends, 2/3/10]

Headlight Switch at 1A Auto
What is a headlight switch and where is it located?
Your car or truck headlight switch, also referred to as a headlamp switch, doesn't just turn the headlights on and off whenever you want to; it has separate components to turn on each of your parking, curb, and/or tail lights as well. Most switches also act as the instrument panel light dimmer switch and the interior courtesy light switch. In short, the headlight switch allows you to control all the lighting for your vehicle once you have inserted the key into the ignition and/or started the car or truck. This allows you to see the road, and allows other drivers to see you. It is better to see, and to be seen, than not to be seen and to hear from other angry drivers. Depending on your model, your lighting controls may be mounted on the dashboard or they may be on your turn signal switch stalk.
How do I know if my headlight switch needs to be replaced?
If your lights don't respond to the input from the switches, then the headlight switch may be at fault. The circuitry within the switch can become worn or damaged by electrical power surges, corrosion, exposure to moisture, or simple wear and tear from repeated use. The knobs and buttons that the driver uses to activate the lights can also become worn over time.
If your headlights do not turn on and you know that the headlight assembly and bulb are in working order, then the problem may be in the headlamp switch. Where one headlight fails to come on, that's generally a sign of a broken headlight; if both fail to come on, that might be a broken switch. Failing headlight switches may also leave you unable to turn on your high-beams, or, conversely, unable to turn them off. The dash lights might not turn on, or you might be unable to adjust their brightness If the switch is failing. Other symptoms of a faulty switch may include a burning electrical smell from the dash only when the lights are on, poor or faulty movement of the mechanical parts of the switch, or flickering of the lights.
Can I replace the headlight switch myself?
Most headlight switches are fairly simple to replace. Still, it would be wise to consult a repair manual for your specific vehicle. Always disconnect the battery before undertaking this repair. If the switch is on the turn signal stalk, you may need to open up the steering column. In that case, you should wait twenty minutes after disconnecting the battery to make sure that the air bag is deactivated.
On older styles in which you pull out a button to turn on the headlights, you will need to access the back of the switch. There is a small 1/4 inch button, usually facing the passenger side of the car. Pull the switch while simultaneously pressing the little button; the switch activation plunger should then come out. Next, unscrew the round nut that holds the switch to the dash. Pull the switch out from behind the dash and unplug it from the harness. Reverse these actions to install the new headlight switch replacement.
Later model vehicles with dash panel mounted headlamp switches are fairly straightforward. Usually it is necessary to take some part of the instrument panel trim apart to access the switch. If you do not know how to do this, you should consult a manual, because the plastic dash trim can be easily broken. After tackling the trim, it is usually just a matter of unbolting or unscrewing the switch, unplugging it, and re-installing. If your switch is stalk or steering column mounted, it is best to consult a service manual for the proper procedure.

What is configglue?
configglue is a library that glues together Python's optparse.OptionParser and
ConfigParser.ConfigParser, so that you don't have to repeat yourself when you
want to export the same options to a configuration file and a commandline
The main features of configglue are:
- ini-style configuration files
- schema-based configuration
- commandline integration
- configuration validation
Why would I want to use configglue?
Some of the benefits of using configglue are that it allows you to:
- separate configuration declaration (which options are available) from
definition (what value does each option take)
- validate configuration files (there are no required options missing, prevent
typos in option names, assert each option value is of the correct type)
- use standards-compatible configuration files (standard ini-files)
- use standard types out of the box (integer, string, bool, tuple, list, dict)
- create your own custom types beyond what's provided in the library
- easily support commandline integration
- override options locally by using several configuration files (useful for
separating configuration files for different environments)
configglue and django-configglue are already available in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick), so they can be installed via apt-get. configglue should already be installed if you have the desktop edition, as it's being used by Ubuntu One's client.
Who else is using configglue?
- Ubuntu Pay
- Ubuntu Software Center
- Ubuntu Single Sign On
- Ubuntu One
Got curious?
You can find a quickstart guide for configglue on
http://packages.python.org/configglue and you can get its code at
As an additional bonus, there is another project called django-configglue
which allows you to use all the benefits of configglue on your Django
projects. You can find a quickstart guide for django-configglue on
http://packages.python.org/django-configglue and you can get its code at

My Spring Training Adventure – Part 3
Before I get into my coverage of our final two games, you may recall me mentioning in my last entry that I thought Ed Smith Stadium looks like a motel. Well, I dug through my old photo albums, and found a photo from our visit in March 2000. At the time, it was the spring home of the Reds. Since then, the Reds have relocated to Arizona for Spring Training, and Ed Smith is now home to the Orioles. Here it is:
Unless it's been refurbished in the past 10 years, this is what the exterior of the part behind home plate looks like. All those railings and doors look just like a motel to me.
March 16 – Day 6
After yet another mouth-watering breakfast at the Inn at the Bay, we made our way to Bright House Field for today's Phillies-Tigers game. If I haven't already mentioned it, the Inn at the Bay serves the most awesome breakfasts. We've stayed there five times, and we've almost never had the same breakfast twice. They are so filling, most days we don't even need lunch!
Once again, we arrived when the gates opened. New Tiger Johnny Damon signed some autographs (for Phillies fans!) during batting practice. I'm still not too happy with Johnny over that stolen-base-thing last October:
Cole Hamels was on the mound for the Phillies, going five innings with 2 hits, 1 run, and 4 stikeouts. He was looking pretty good this day:
Detroit's Justin Verlander didn't have such a great day, giving up home runs to Domonic Brown and Ryan Howard. Overall, he went 3 1/3 innings, with 4 runs on 3 hits:
Speaking of Howard's homer (his first of the spring), it came on the swing immediately following this shot:
During a pitching change, Johnny Damon, Adam Everett, and Brandon Inge discuss the fly ball that got lost in the sun and just dropped into the Bermuda Triangle of turf between all three of them for a hit. They all appear to have sunglasses – guys, weren't you using them?
Phil Coke came on in relief of Verlander, and proceeded to give up Domonic Brown's second homer of the day, a two-run shot. Phil's pants look like they have enough extra fabric at the bottom for a whole 'nuther pair:
Domonic Brown had a great day at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two homers and an RBI single. As thanks, he got reassigned to the minor league camp after the game:
New Phillie Danys Baez came on to pitch a scoreless inning in relief:
Greg Dobbs, playing third in place of the injured Placido Polanco, makes contact. Dobbs went 1-for-3 and scored a run:
Jimmy Rollins stops to sign some autographs on his way to the clubhouse. This may have been a mistake, as he was stuck there for the next 10 minutes while fans continued to flock down the aisle. Jimmy is actually one of the most fan-friendly Phillies, so he didn't seem to mind:
Something I hadn't seen before was a post-game batting practice. After the final out, the cage was wheeled back on the field, and Raul Ibanez, Carlos Ruiz, and Shane Victorino took additional BP. Shane seemed to be working on his bunting. Afterwards, Raul Ibanez and his son walk to the clubhouse with Charlie Manuel:
On the way out, we stopped for a photo of me in front of the entrance to the ballpark. Since I'm always the one taking the pictures, we need visual proof I was actually on this vacation:
March 17 – Day 7
St. Patrick's Day dawned rather gray and dreary. On our way to the ballpark, it even rained a little bit. This had me concerned, because our "seats" for today were on the berm, the grassy area beyond the outfield fence. I wasn't looking forward to sitting on soggy sod.
Not to fear though. By gametime, the skies had cleared and it turned into a sunny, pleasant afternoon for our final day in Florida.
During Phillies BP, Charlie Manuel had a chance to check out the mini-sized Charlie Manuel bat that will be given out to kids on July 6:
Randy Winn and Brian Schneider are loitering behind the batting cage. Something has made Winn grin, though Schneider looks like he just ate a bug:
This trio of trouble is yukking it up at the expense of their fellow fielder, who just muffed a grounder during pre-game warmups:
Mark Texiera and Alex Rodriguez wait their turns in the batting cage. Just what is that huge wad hiding in A-Rod's cheek? Gum? Sunflower seeds? Some chew? His ego?
Phillies broadcaster Chris Wheeler was on hand to sign copies of his book, "View From The Booth." Yes, I bought one. There are some who don't really like Wheels as a broadcaster, but I'll be interested to read his take on things:
Just before the game started, I met up with Confession of a She-Fan's Jane Heller and got interviewed by her on the She-Fan Cam. Click here to read Jane's coverage of the game, and see the video clip.
In between BP and game time, the Phillies changed from their usual red and white uniforms to their bright green St. Patty's day jerseys. Joe Blanton took to the mound for the Phillies. Blanton had a Blanton-like outing, going 5 innings, scattering 7 hits and giving up 2 runs:
The last time my husband and I came to Spring Training, in 2007, we saw the Phillies host the Yankees on St. Patrick's Day, and Andy Pettitte started for the Yankees. Three years later, we are seeing the Phillies host the Yankees on St. Patrick's Day, and Andy Pettitte is starting for the Yankees. Deja vu!
Randy Winn scores for the Yankees, as the throw to Carlos Ruiz is late:
Ryan Howard tosses the ball to first to get the out:
The Flyin' Hawaiian can't fly quite far enough, as this ball got past Shane Victorino for an extra-base hit:
The Phillie O'Phanatic get a bit, um, friendly with the third-base umpire. The mind shudders to imagine the offspring that would result from such an unholy union:
The luck of the Irish was with Jayson Werth as he lauched a three-run homer, which sealed the outcome of the game in favor of the Phillies:
Final score: Phillies 6, Yankees 2
Later that evening, we met up for dinner with Jane and her husband Michael, as it turned out that they were staying just three blocks away from us in St. Petersburg. We all enjoyed a delicious meal, and great conversation. The time flew by, and since we all had flights home the next day, finally had to bid each other good night.
Our flight home was much better than the first – no turbulence, and my husband and I actually got to sit next to each other this time.
(all photos by me, except the one of me, which was taken by my husband)

Product Description
LLDical raw materials used in pet food processing include cereal flour, vegetable proteins, minerals and vitamins and, in some cases, meat or fish flour and fresh meat. The dry ingredients enter the the pre-conditioner and are steam-LDrated. The counter-rotary twin shaft unit blends the ingredients and ensures proper mixing of steam, moisture and ingredients. paintitioning produces partial gelatinization of starches and texturing of polymers The partially cooked mixture is then fed to the twin-screw extruder. Shearing, internal temperature, pressure, moisture and residence times are accu controlled to achieve optimum starch gelatinization without loss of food quality. s or steam may be injected through ports in the extruder barrel at various processing stages. Degassing is possible at this stage using a vent-stuffer. Granules are then shaped when they are extruded through the die. They are then put through a dryer, which reduces moisture (generally between 8 and 10%). The product is then coated, and flavoring and fat is added before cooling and packaging.
