Big Bat Night; Clearwater Marathon
It was quite a combination: Chase's return, dollar dog night and warm, humid night at Citizens Bank Park.
The result: a Phillies romp in front of 45,841, the largest regular season crowd in Citizens Bank Park history. Old mark was 45,775 on August 17, 2006.
When Chase came to bat in the first inning, the place went nuts. Scott Franzke called it a special moment in the history of the place. LA said, "Not a person is sitting and it is loud."
Chase was hitless in 5 at-bats but his teammates pounded out 14 hits and 10 runs. When the weather turns warm and humid, Charlie calls it "hittin' season." Well, Monday night was that. For the first time this season, the Phillies hit three homers in a game at home.
Cole benefited and improved to 7-0 in his career vs. the Reds.
13 of the previous 14 games were decided by 3 runs or less . . . It was the first win in a while without a save from Madson . . . J-Roll's Aces: students from R. R. Wright Elementary School are the guests of Rollins Tuesday night . . . Wednesday night's game will be on ESPN TV.

Clearwater Classic
The Threshers lost, 2-1, in a 23-inning marathon in Jupiter, the longest game in their franchise history. Clearwater scored in the 3rd inning, Jupiter in the 6th. The Threshers had more hits, 17-14, left on base, 22-12 and strikeouts by hitters, 20-15. They had the go-ahead run on base in each of the last four innings but couldn't get the key hit, going 3-24 with runners in scoring position. CF Jiwan James had a single, double, triple in 8 at-bats. Both teams used 8 pitchers. Joe Savery was a DH-P-1B; Darrin Ruf, 1B-P, his first time on the mound in pro ball. Each tossed 2 scoreless innings. The marathon lasted 5 hours, 37 minutes. Attendance at the start of the game was 330.

A Fontana woman appeared Monday in a Pomona courtroom for arraignment on felony charges stemming from a drunken driving-related crash on the 60 Freeway in February that killed six people, including her sister.
Olivia Carolee Culbreath, 21, appeared before Superior Court Judge Thomas C. Falls shortly before noon. However, the judge continued Culbreath's arraignment to Aug. 19 so lawyers could continue to review discovery in the case.
Previous arraignment hearings had been delayed either for medical reasons or because attorneys needed time to review the case, which includes more than 800 pages of discovery.
Culbreath's attorneys argued a motion to suspend media cameras and recording devices from the trial, citing it would sway jurors and witnesses to think differently from the facts of the case.
The court determined that media recording devices during pre-trial activities would be banned from the courtroom, but Falls said he would allow a media "pool" photographer in once the actual trial begins, during opening statements and upon the completion of the trial.
California Highway Patrol investigators said that on Feb. 9 Culbreath drove her red Chevrolet Camaro the wrong way on the 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar when she struck a Ford Explorer.
All the occupants of the Explorer died, as well as the two passengers in Culbreath's Camaro.
Culbreath has been charged with six counts of murder in the deaths of Gregorio Mejia-Martinez, 47; Leticia Ibarra, 42, Jessica Jasmine Mejia, 20, and Ester Delgado, all of Huntington Park; Kristin Melissa Young, 21, of Chino; and her sister, Maya Louise Culbreath, 24, of Rialto.
Since the collision, Culbreath has been in custody at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles in lieu of $6 million bail.

Q. Is littering illegal? It should be!
A. It is, though the specifics of its illegality vary from city to city, from county to county, and from state to state. "I don't know of any community in the country where litter is not against the law," says Rob Wallace, vice president of communications for the anti-litter nonprofit Keep America Beautiful. Anti-litter laws in some states — notably Iowa, Arkansas, Georgia and Tennessee — are particularly strict. Aimed especially at young people, the Washington State Department of Ecology's "Litter and It Will Hurt" campaign urges Washingtonians to report litterers.
In your state, the California Highway Patrol has the power to ticket and fine litterers, and sometimes actually does--usually after they defenestrate items while driving. (That's SAT-word-speak for "throw things out the window while driving.") CHP Officer Joe Frasier says that in his 26 years of ticketing litterers, none have ever apologized for what they did or even acted embarrassed. Instead, he says they make up excuses: "When I catch them, they say, 'It blew out the window' or 'It fell out of my hand.' I say, 'Right, I just watched your arm come out the window and throw it,'" Frasier laughs.
Anti-litter laws are notoriously hard to enforce, KAB's Wallace says. Once something has been dropped, how do you prove who dropped it? And because litter is right before our eyes and at our fingertips, it is somehow easier to overlook than, say, greenhouse gas emissions. In all of today's enthusiastic environmentalist rhetoric, "litter seems to be getting left out of the messages," Wallace laments. Keep America Beautiful has done extensive research into why people litter, and found that often it's just thoughtlessness.
"There's a sense that someone will come along behind them and clean it up," Wallace says, "a street-sweeper or something. And sometimes the issue is that people don't feel a sense of ownership. They feel disenfranchised," he says, and thus the streets and sidewalks of a neighborhood — even if they live there — don't feel worth keeping clean or attractive: "It's very hard for them to see the big picture, to realize that common areas are for all of us, and to wake up and see that 80 percent of the debris in the oceans started somewhere on land."

No one can say if warming caused Katrina, Rita
By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Correspondent
Tue Sep 27, 2:10 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists say it's not easy to tell if global warming caused hurricanes Katrina and Rita but on Monday they forecast more unpredictable weather as Earth gets hotter.
Even skeptics agree that global warming is under way and that human activity is at least in part responsible. Climate experts also agree that this warming is likely to make the weather more extreme -- colder in some places, hotter in others, with droughts and severe rainstorms both more common.
"Global warming, I think, is playing a role in the hurricanes," said Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.
"But a lot of what is going on is natural. What global warming may be doing is making them somewhat more intense," said Trenberth, a member of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
James Elsner, professor of geography at Florida State University, agreed.
"Certainly this is an unusual season," he said in a telephone interview. "However, the question of attribution I don't think is very simple."
Katrina slammed into southern Louisiana and Mississippi on August 29, wiping out entire towns, triggering the devastating flooding of New Orleans and causing more than 1,000 deaths. Then on Saturday along came Rita, which briefly hit Category 5 strength with winds higher than 155 mph (249 kph) before dropping Category 3 by the time it hit the Texas-Louisiana coast.
"We have seen unusual seasons in the past and so we understand that we tend to see more strong storms when the Atlantic Ocean temperatures are warmer, which has been the case in the last 10 years or so," Elsner said.
"It was warm in the 1940s and '50s and we saw lots of strong storms during that period."
So far, 2005 has not been the busiest year for storms, even though there have been 17 named tropical storms in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.
"That distinction belongs to the year 1933, in which there were 21 storms that reached tropical storm strength," said Eric Gross, an associate professor of history at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, who studies hurricanes and other natural disasters.
There were 19 tropical storms in 1995, Gross said in a statement.
In theory, warmer temperatures could bring more and fiercer hurricanes, experts agree. Hurricanes are fed by warm ocean surface temperatures and by higher amounts of water vapor.
Kerry Emanuel, a professor of meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, published a study in the journal Nature last July that found big storms are 50 percent more intense and last 50 percent longer than those in the 1970s.
"My results suggest that future warming may lead to an upward trend in tropical cyclone destructive potential and -- taking into account an increasing coastal population -- a substantial increase in hurricane-related losses in the twenty-first century," he wrote.
Emanuel also has found that the IPCC-predicted rise in sea surface temperatures -- 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) -- would raise a storm's intensity by 10 percent.
This temperature increase, Trenberth said, will add water vapor to fuel a hurricane's fury.
Even if storms are not yet affected by global warming, experts like Emanuel and Trenberth predict they will be.
"Global warming is remorselessly going on," Trenberth said. "This is something that when you take action, the benefits take place in 50 years and beyond. It is not something you can stop."

My wimping on about not getting a prize for my 3 legger caused a couple of comments about voting (notably from
Eric Bloodax Rick McKee, master hewer) . I've never tried this before so I thought I'd set up a poll, just for fun, and you should be able to see this in the right sidebar (may need to scroll down a bit or go to the "Home" page until I find out why if you go to an individual post no right sidebar info shows grrr!)).
Just to remind you, here are the stools in question:
Enjoy your voting – you can see the results with a simple click, unlike the retro polling of the political variety.
At the moment I feel a bit like a square peg in a round hole, bursting to fit in, where is that fitting hole? Where is the support for 17th century joinery? Should I try the Worshipful Company of Joiners? Am I just too square?
The rubbly background to the photos is the rebuild of my workshop, don't worry, once the masons have finished there will be some timber included, watch this space.
The season of woodland deer is 'pon us once again and my stocks of animal limbs, and antlers was woefully low, so I had a half day cutting the hazel coppice at Wood Nook. At lunchtime I had a walk round previous years' cut stools and some regrowth is pretty good

SKF makes shaft alignment quick, versatile and intuitive
2015 April 13, 16:04 CEST
The new intuitive app-powered shaft alignment tool from SKF allows operators to use the TKSA 51 at first sight and confidently align machinery with great precision.
Gothenburg, Sweden, 13 April, 2015: SKF, the knowledge engineering company, presents an innovative shaft alignment tool at Hannover Fair 2015. The TKSA 51 is SKF's first instrument designed for intuitive shaft alignments using tablets and smartphones. The app makes it quick and easy to set up of motors, drives, fans, gearboxes, pulleys and couplings, even by operators who use the instrument for the first time.
The new TKSA 51 comprises two compact and lightweight laser measuring units, designed to suit almost any application. Using the versatile shaft brackets, the instrument can be mounted on small machines with limited space, whilst extension chains, rods and magnetic holders are supplied for mounting the tool on large machines.
Connected wirelessly, the app uses real time data to provide a live 3D view of the measuring units. This gives operators the possibility to rotate the virtual machine at their convenience in all directions, making the alignment as intuitive as possible. Measurements are made by a simple touch of a button or by the hands-free automatic measurement function which just needs the shaft to be rotated to the next measurement position.
Jens Kammann, Product Manager at SKF Maintenance Products, points out that, "Shaft misalignment is one of the main causes of machine failure. It creates additional forces and vibration that can damage machine components such as bearings, seals and couplings, adding considerably to operating and maintenance costs. Often, we find shafts not being aligned correctly because the applied method or instrument is time consuming and difficult to use, leading to mistakes and incorrect alignments. The TKSA 51 eliminates these problems, making it the ideal companion for every alignment task. As a result, engineers can significantly increase uptime, with the confidence that machines are correctly setup for efficient and cost-effective operation."
The great measurement freedom is just one of the core features of the systems, allowing alignments in confined spaces as measurements can start at any start at any angle and only require a total shaft rotation of 40°.Further alignment adjustments are possible with alignment targets that, for example, can be set to compensate the thermal growth of the machinery. After each alignment check or correction, a comprehensive report is created that can easily be customised, emailed or uploaded to a cloud service for future reference. To aid the user, notification and helpful guidance menus are displayed if a problem occurs during set up, such as the detector being off centre or the laser beam being too close to the edge of the detector.
The TKSA 51 is supplied by SKF as a comprehensive system for all alignment tasks. The app can easily be downloaded and offers a fully functional demonstration mode for trying the TKSA 51 before purchase. It will be on show at this year's Hannover fair (April 13th – 17th) at hall 22, booth B12. Further information can be found on www.skfpowerthefuture.com.

Board of Regents appoints McClain University of Hawaii presidentUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Mia Noguchi, (808) 956-9095
External Affairs & University Relations
HONOLULU — At a special meeting held today at Honolulu Community College, the University of Hawaiʻi Board of Regents (BOR) appointed Interim President David McClain to the permanent position of president of the 10-campus University of Hawaiʻi System. McClain's appointment extends to July 31, 2009.
BOR Chair Kitty Lagareta stated, "We have seen David McClain in action for the past year and a half and feel strongly that he is the right person and the best person at the right time to take the university forward. Throughout this process, the regents have been unanimous in their support of him becoming president. We are pleased that he and Wendie have agreed to accept this huge job for another few years."
McClain will receive a compensation increase of 5.5 percent, to $360,000, just below the median of current surveys of the salaries of higher education system chief executive officers. Provisions in his current appointment agreement as interim president have been continued, including the requirement to reside at College Hill, and an automobile allowance and parking pass.
McClain commented, "Wendie and I are excited about the opportunity to continue to serve the 80,000 students on our campuses, and the community in which we have lived for the last 15 years. We're gratified by the groundswell of support we've received from the academy and the community in recent weeks, and we sincerely appreciate the confidence and dedication of the regents. We look forward with enthusiasm to working with the entire UH ʻohana to improve the caliber of higher education, and the quality of life, in Hawaiʻi."
At a special meeting held on Feb. 28, 2006, the UH Board of Regents unanimously voted to accept the recommendation of the Board's Task Group on the Presidential Search to suspend the national search for a president and offer the position to McClain. The BOR's Task Group on the Presidential Search previously submitted a report to the Board describing its efforts in the process of a national search for the president's position. The overall feedback the Task Group received, both from search firms and national experts on system presidents, was that the Board of Regents should seek to keep McClain onboard and offer him the permanent position.
McClain was appointed interim president of the university in August 2004. Prior to that, he served as the system vice president for academic affairs, and was previously dean of the UH Mānoa College of Business.

Full disclosure: I picked the Pittsburgh Pirates to finish third, ahead of St. Louis and Chicago, in the National League Central this year. Can't take it back. It happened.
One week later, I found myself using the quality of the Dodgers' weekend opponent as some sort of asterisk in a game story after the Bucs were swept out of Dodger Stadium. That's what happens when you can recite stats like these:
Six games into the season, NL pitchers are hitting .138/.180/.198. The Pirates are hitting .119/.188/.159.

Davidson, N.C. - Sophomore Tim Frend lined a 1-2 fastball over the leftfield fence to lead off the bottom of the 10th for Davidson (19-15, 11-9 in SoCon) to lift the host Wildcats to a doubleheader split with East Tennessee State (8-18, 5-9), winning the second game, 5-4. The Bucs hammered the Wildcats in the opener, 17-3.
East Tennessee State pecked away at Davidson early in the opener, then exploded late in the blowout in setting season highs with 17 runs and 19 hits. Chad Boruff, just a freshman, had a memorable game by drilling three long home runs to double his season total to six, and drove in six runs.
Danny Pugh led the Bucs with four hits in six trips to the plate, including a double and a three-run homer. Also with four hits was Jeremy Terry, all of which were singles. Chuck Dewald blasted the fifth of five homers off six Wildcat pitchers to finish the scoring.
Meanwhile, Buc hurler Reid Casey (2-4) was impressive in going the distance. He gave up just three runs, two earned, on six hits and five walks while striking out five.
Junior Ryan Stroker (4-3) was stuck with the loss, surrendering 12 hits and nine runs, six earned, in 5.1 innings of work. He walked three and struck out four. The first five hits off Stroker did not get out of the infield.
The Bucs built a 4-0 lead on a two-run double by Nathan Copeland in the second game, then two-out RBI safeties by Ed Sparks and Boruff in the fifth.
In the fifth, Davidson sophomore Jack Purcell broke up Shannon Carter's no-hitter and shutout with a two-out RBI single. Davidson pulled within a run in the sixth on a two-bun blast by sophomore James Marino, then tied the game in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Purcell.
Carter pitched seven-plus innings for ETSU, allowing just four hits and three walks which led to four runs while striking out eight batters. Freshman Jackson Simerly (0-2) suffered the loss by giving up Frend's line drive homer, his eighth of the season.

It would be insincere to say I was surprised by the results of the same-sex marriage vote in Maine this time around. I uphold that as a supporter of traditional marriage, it was out of principle- not hate- to vote No on Question 1. But a majority of Mainers have spoken, and because we live in a democracy rather than a theocracy, we must begin to move beyond the debate over civil marriage as Christians.
While there are many places in Scripture that seem to exactly describe where our culture is today (Romans 1:24-32 is one New Testament example), the question that remains is what are we to do about it? One thing we should NOT do is just gloss over such warnings and ignore the Word of God at these uncomfortable points, or explain them away as not applying to our current situation. But correction and reproof from Scripture are for those inside the church, not those on the outside (see 1 Corinthians 5:12-13).
So what about the people "on the outside"? Like all of us, they too need the grace of God. We all fall short of His glory, and only the power of The Holy Spirit can change lives. We must refocus on bringing this message to our state, demonstrating the love of God in the process. I do not think we should retreat inside our church walls. As I've stated before, we need to be a counter-culture not a subculture. We must be "salt and light" in the world and be bolder than ever in declaring the truth of God's Word.
As someone who made no place for the God of the Bible in his life until relatively recently, I understand how it'd be difficult for someone to give up or feel any need to have to change various behaviors and lifestyles. As a result, we must be ever vigilant about reaching the younger and next generations with the sincere and unconditional love found only in God the Father, through Jesus Christ. Children growing up in a world with all kinds of sexual confusion need to know things do "get better" when they commit to finding fulfillment solely by this love from their Creator, instead of by their own lusts and desires.
But children must see this exemplified by their parents. This must be the call of the Christian church moving forward. People of all ages need to seek purity in their own lives, especially when they demand it of others. Where society sees hypocrisy in our lives, they see hypocrisy in Jesus.
Finally, as is evidenced by the change in the marriage vote from 2009 to 2012, winning political battles are only temporary. Christians must stay engaged where necessary, but refocus on the mission of being disciples rather than political activists. The local church must seek ways to serve others, trusting in God's sovereignty to provide for His church and protect it's voice in this world. The harvest is plentiful in Maine, and the workers are few. Let's get to work.

Acclaimed director Roman Polanski is a free man after Swiss authorities declined to send him back to California for sentencing on child sex charges dating back to the 1970s.
Polanski, 76, has been in Swiss custody, first in jail, then under house arrest at his chalet in Gstaad, since September. He was nabbed as a fugitive when he left his native France and went to Zurich for a lifetime achievement award. Authorities in Los Angeles have been after him since he fled just prior to sentencing on charges he had unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.
On Monday, authorities announced at a news conference that Polanski, director of such classic films as "Chinatown," Rosemary's Baby" and "The Pianist," would not be sent back to the U.S. for sentencing. He could still face sentencing in absentia, though U.S. officials don't believe he would comply with terms of a sentence.
U.S. & World
"The 76-year-old French-Polish film director Roman Polanski will not be extradited to the USA," the Swiss Justice Ministry said in a statement. "The freedom-restricting measures against him have been revoked."
The ministry cited "national interests" in announcing the decision, but did not elaborate.
"Mr. Polanski can now move freely," said Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf. "He's a free man."
Polanski's attorney, Chad Hummel, has been pushing for Polanski to be sentenced without having to return to Los Angeles, California. But prosecutors have vigorously opposed sentencing him in absentia.
"The defendant is a fugitive," Deputy District Attorney David Walgren wrote in court papers filed in January. "A fugitive child rapist, who for 32 years has made a mockery of our criminal justice system, should not be given the power or authority to request anything of this court until he, the criminal, acknowledges this court's lawful authority by surrendering on his outstanding warrant."
Prosecutors dropped rape and other charges in exchange for his guilty plea, but Polanski fled the country before he was sentenced after learning that the judge might make him complete the second half of a 90-day jail sentence. He has been a fugitive since 1978 and lived in France before his arrest.
Swiss authorities released the director from jail on $4.5 million bail in early December "pending extradition" to the United States.
Polanski pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse after first being charged he gave Samantha Geimer Quaaludes and Champagne, then raped her when she came to his home for a photo shoot that was to run in a magazine he was guest-editing. Geimer, now in her forties, has said she forgives him after receiving an undisclosed amount of money from Polanski.

From the simplest three-ingredient walnut cookies (that you will want to jump up and make immediately, as I did) to more elaborate celebration desserts-all are made doable with well-written recipes and beautiful photos. Fig syrup and dolci di noci now have a permanent place in my repertoire."
—Alice Medrich, author of Bittersweet and Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts
"I've been chasing down Southern Italian dessert recipes for thirty years, and my dear friend Rosetta just saved me another decade. She is truly one of the best Italian cooks I know!"
—Michael Chiarello, chef and owner of Bottega and Coqueta
"Reading this book, I pictured Rosetta moving between bakeries and homes throughout Southern Italy, her impeccable sweet tooth and culinary knowledge guiding her to the special sweets of each village. Brava to Rosetta for creating a book that's original, tantalizing, and embodies the culture and spirit of her region."

Trabant cars above the scene.Great koncert. Besides the phone call to our Minister of Foreign affairs (as far as I remember, Bono got through to his wife, saying that he was not at home), I remember the Trabant cars hanging above the scene. The special guests, Stereo MCs, where not playing very impressive.

Calling UffeDuring the show, Bono tried to get the danish Minister for Foreign Affairs , Uffe Ellemann-Jensen on the phone, but he wasn't at home :-) One og the best concerts of my youth. I later moved to Horsens, where I this year (2010) was able to get tickets to both shows. Magnificent !

Great show...but as the other has pointed out - wrong country. ;o) It was my very first show - at the age of 19 (so young!) - and I remember it for just being there - finally to meet my Irish heroes! The stage was huge and there were cars hanging up in the air?? Thanks for coming back to our country! Love you, too! ;o)
11 August, 2010

26 July, 2010

The Israel Lacrosse Association has announced that Lauren Paul Norris, a McDonogh alumna and four-time Jewish All-American at Franklin & Marshall, has been named coach of the Israel national lacrosse team that will compete in the 2013 Federal of International Lacrosse Women's World Cup.
"Lauren's resume really speaks for itself," said Scott Neiss, director of the association. "We're extremely confident in Lauren's coaching ability, her passion for the sport and her commitment to developing the game in Israel. It's clear she has the experience and the vision to lead our women's program."
Norris previously served as head coach at Franklin & Marshall from 2009 to 2012, leading the Diplomats to the 2009 NCAA Division III championship and Centennial Conference titles in 2009, 2010 and 2011. She was also named IWLCA Coach of the Year in 2009 after becoming the first coach ever to win a national championship in her first season. In four seasons at Franklin & Marshall, she led the team to a 68-10 record. Norris was dismissed in April after an investigation into a hazing complaint that also resulted in the suspension of a group of senior and junior players.
Norris, who joined the coaching staff at High Point in 2012, also has served as an assistant coach at Dickinson (2005-2007) and Lafayette (2004). She played for Franklin & Marshall from 2000 to 2003 and was a two-time All-American, three-time first-team All-Metro Region player and a three-time All-Centennial Conference first-team pick. She was the first player in team history to reach 100 goals and 100 assists in her career.
The 2013 FIL Women's World Cup, held at the Oshawa Civic Recreation Centre near Toronto from July 10-20, marks the blue and white's first foray in the quadrennial world championship as well as Norris' debut as a coach on the world stage.
"I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to coach internationally and lead Israel to its first ever World Championship Games. It is an honor to be chosen to lead these young women on the field against the best teams in the world, and to work with them to help support, encourage and promote the sport of lacrosse in Israel," Norris said. "I am looking forward to being a part of an organization that is geared toward developing young leaders, giving back to its community and dedicating their time to the development of the game in Israel.
The United States edged Australia, 8-7, to capture gold at the 2009 Women's World Cup in Prague. The Americans will defend their title against Israel and 17 other nations this year in Oshawa. Other new entries expected to participate include Hong Kong, Latvia and Sweden.
Israel's roster will be composed of Israeli players as well as Jewish players from abroad in accordance with the rules and regulations of the FIL. The team will train July 4-8 in Ashkelon, Israel, before flying to Toronto on July 9.

Election Day is five weeks away, and there's still no sign of Jesse Jackson Jr. That's got his opponents in the race growing increasingly frustrated.
"I'm putting out a demand that Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. needs to come out of his house, come out of hiding," said Marcus Lewis, and Independent candidate running against the incumbent in the race for the 2nd Congressional seat. "We gave him 113 days, even prayed for him. You don't wish bad on nobody, but we have an election."
Kevin Lampe, a spokesman for the Jackson campaign, said Jackson has not yet been cleared by his doctors.
In June, Jackson's staff announced he was taking a medical leave, and later in August it was revealed he was at the Mayo Clinic being treated for bipolar disorder.
The congressman's father, Rev. Jesse Jackson, said Monday that the focus remains on his son's health.
He said he's grateful for the ongoing support from the public and "we are still soliciting their prayers."
Rev. Jackson won't take questions about speculation that Jackson will resign after Election Day and force a special election. The theory is that a special election, rather than a selection by the Democratic power brokers, may benefit a candidate the Jacksons favor.
There are a Republican candidate, Brian Woodworth, and a write-in candidate as well.
The congressman's wife, Ald. Sandi Jackson, declined Monday to respond to repeated questions about her husband. She has not participated in a city council meeting since June, but there is a meeting this Wednesday.
As for the November election, early voting begins in Illinois on Oct. 22.

Josh Woodward (12 Albums, 266 Tracks)
Josh Woodward seems to have a career death wish. A prolific indie acoustic-rock songwriter, he has released ten albums in the past eight years, but he has chosen to give away all of his music for free. In a world of $18 CDs and lawsuits against file sharing grandmothers, Josh offers 180 songs as free downloads from his websites, and sells CDs on a name-your-own-price basis.
This gamble has paid off well; he's used file sharing to build a viral, worldwide network of fans. After over three-and-a-half million MP3 downloads from his site, he's living proof that the music world is changing. His brand of energetic and passionate delivery with vivid stories, clever wordplay and dark humor may not be for everyone, but the Internet has made it possible to find its audience.
To date, he's released ten albums. His most recent, "The Wake", was released in August 2012. The album represents a distillation of the best of what his music has to offer: upbeat folk rockers, delicate acoustic pieces, with a touch of humor in places. VideoSongs - music videos of the entire production process - were made for each of the 13 songs. A Kickstarter campaign to fund the album ended up being overfunded by 250%. As with all of Josh's music, it's a one-man operation: written, performed, recorded and released with a do-it-yourself, guerilla mentality.
The Internet is the main source of exposure for Josh's music. With over 13,000 subscribers YouTube for the many VideoSongs and acoustic performances, and over ten thousand videos from other users feature his music, totalling over 150 million views. He was also a featured artist for Clear Channel New in Winter 2006, which included extensive online promotion and national radio airplay. He's one of the most downloaded artists on Jamendo, a Creative Commons music site, where he won the award for Best Pop Artist in 2011. Since 2010, "Swansong" has been the featured song in Ubuntu Linux.

About Us
The Alliance for Natural Health USA (ANH-USA)*, is part of an international organization dedicated to promoting sustainable health and freedom of choice in healthcare through good science and good law. We protect the right of natural-health practitioners to practice and the right of consumers to choose the healthcare options they prefer. Since 1992, we have worked to shift the medical paradigm from an exclusive focus on surgery, drugs and other conventional techniques to an "integrative" approach incorporating food, dietary supplements and lifestyle changes. This is the way to improve health and extend lives while reducing the costs of healthcare back to a sustainable level.
ANH-USA is committed to sustainable health, the recognition that our environment and our physical health are inextricably related. If we run out of clean water to drink, pure air to breathe or nutritious and uncontaminated food to eat, or if through our prescription drugs we ingest mercury vaccines or phthalates, our physical health will suffer.
Sustainable health also applies the environmental ethic of conservation to our bodies. It urges us to live as nature intended us to live. Diet, dietary supplements, exercise and the avoidance of toxins are especially important tools in building and maintaining health.
Sustainable health is also about financial sustainability. Ever higher healthcare costs lead directly to higher unemployment and lower standards of living, both of which lead to more illness.
Today, preventative medicine is too often defined as taking more and more drugs at an earlier and earlier age, even in childhood. The concept of sustainable health is real preventative medicine and will dramatically reduce healthcare costs.
ANH-USA ensures your right to choose a sustainable and preventive approach to health along with nutritional and "integrative" healthcare. We lobby Congress and state legislatures, act as a government watchdog, file comments on proposed rulings, and educate the public, press and other decision-makers.
* ANH-USA was formerly the American Association for Health Freedom.

A washing machine is one of those real essential kitchen appliances, finding the right one for you couldn't be easier. With a big range of models to suit all budgets, and some great energy efficient options available, we've put together this guide to help you choose.
To make sure you get the best possible performance from your washing machine, first have a think about how you're going to be using it. How much washing do you do in a week? Are you often short of time? And do you have space to dry your clothes in your home or garden? All of these things, and your budget, will determine the machine that's right for you.
There are a few key features to look for that have an impact on the environment.
Efficiency ratings let you know how energy efficient your washing machine is. Washing machines as well as all kitchen appliances can help to reduce the impact on the environment. - cutting your carbon footprint and saving you money. Variable temperatures settings on a washing machine is a must. Some models now have eco settings which help you less energy by washing at 30°C or lower.
Appliances are rated 'A+' - 'G', with 'A' rated appliances being the most efficient. Washing machines are also rated for water consumption and performance. 'A+' rated washing are easy to spot as they bear the Energy Saving Recommended logo on the washing machine and will be listed in the product details. Check out our Eco guide to find out more about saving energy.
Energy consumption (measured in kWh). It is good to bear in mind that the lower the number, the better it is for the environment and the more money you'll save. Water consumption is also important. With water, as with energy, a more efficient appliance will have lower running costs and will be more environmentally friendly.

Breakfast in Jamaica: Ackee, Saltfish, Callaloo
Serious Eats' Culinary Ambassadors check in from time to time with reports on food fare in their homeland or countries of residence. Here's the latest! —The Mgmt.
The classic Jamaican breakfast tends to be savory and includes a wide variety of dishes, the most iconic of which is ackee and saltfish: Jamaica's national dish. Ackee is a fruit that, when cooked, has a flavor and consistency not unlike firm scrambled eggs; ackee and saltfish together is something akin to a Caribbean version of lox and eggs.
Another dish that appears on almost every Jamaican table at breakfast is callaloo: a dark green, leafy vegetable sautéed with a little onion and garlic that tastes like a more robust version of spinach. No Jamaican breakfast would be complete without a wide variety of fried foods: johnny cakes, ripe plantains, and breadfruit.
My favorite part of breakfast? Jamaican hot chocolate. Cacao boiled with ground nutmeg, cinnamon leaf, and condensed milk, it is aromatic, unusual, and delicious.

Pressing the Print Screen button takes a snapshot of everything you are viewing on your monitor. Pressing the button doesn't save it to a picture file. You have to do that manually.
So, you now have your image in the memory of the computer waiting for you to do something with it. The best programme for putting that picture in is Paint. This can be located under your Window's Start Menu, Programs, Accessories. If you are using an up to date Windows operating system, e.g. XP, you may not initially see Paint there. You may need to press on the two downward facing arrows to expand what you see.
With Paint now open you can put your printed screen into it. Press the "Edit" option at the top of the screen and then press "Paste".
Unfortunately you have the whole of your computer screen on your screenshot and that's probably not what you want. So now you need to remove all the unnecessary information. Using the scroll bars on the side of the Paint programme to move them so that you can see clearly and wholly your new screenshot webcam. You will see at the side of Paint (this may be different for older versions of the programme) your editing options. At the top is a dotted square button, holding your mouse over that button it will select it if you press the button. This then allows you to select the area of your screenshot which you want to do something with.
From the top corner of your print screened web camera press and hold the left hand mouse button. Drag the mouse down to the bottom opposite corner of the camera and release the mouse button. With the box now around the area that you want go up to the "Edit" option and press "Cut". The picture seems to vanish but, just like the screenshot, it's been saved into the computer memory again waiting for you to do something with it. To do this press on the "File" button, then "New". The computer will ask you a question of do you want to save your work... press "No". You now have a completely empty Paint screen. Go back to "Edit" and press "Paste".
You now have your picture of the web camera in a nice simple looking picture. Save it by pressing "File", "Save" . It will ask you to give the work a title and a location of where to save it. Naming is simple, what the birds are doing – e.g. feeding, call it Feeding Peregrine1. As for location, I prefer to place it on the desktop, makes it easier to find.
Now open up Flickr and sign in to your normal account. You will see on the right hand side of the website is "Upload Photos & Videos". Pressing that it takes you to another screen. In the centre is a gray box with steps, starting at step 1. Pressing 'Choose Photo and Video' will bring up a box asking you to locate the picture. You know where it is (on your desktop) and what it's called( "Feeding Peregrine 1"). It gives you the option to add more if you want, otherwise press Upload Photos and Videos. It will then upload it to the site. This doesn't mean it removes it from your computer, merely copies it. Next give it a description (title) and press Save.
To put that picture in the Derby Cathedral Peregrine picture pool simply go to it and you will see an 'Add photo link' above the pictures. Pressing that takes you to all the pictures you have taken, including the one you just saved. Press on that picture and press 'Add To Group'. Job done.
Thanks to Craig for these helpful instructions which we have edited down a touch to save space. Let us know if you can't follow or understand anything - or if you can!

How the Code War Has Replaced the Cold War
Written by admin No Comments
Last Updated: April 25, 2014
An anonymous reader writes "After years on the defensive, governments are building their own offensive capabilities to deliver digital attacks against their enemies. It's all part of a secret arms race, where countries spend billions of dollars to create stockpiles of digital weapons and zero-day flaws. But is this making us any safer, or putting us and the internet at risk? 'Estonia is a small state with a population of just 1.3 million. However, it has a highly-developed online infrastructure, having invested heavily in e-government services, digital ID cards, and online banking. … The attacks on Estonia were a turning point, proving that a digital bombardment could be used not just to derail a company or a website, but to attack a country. Since then, many nations have been scrambling to improve their digital defenses — and their digital weapons. While the attacks on Estonia used relatively simple tools against a small target, bigger weapons are being built to take on some of the mightiest of targets.'"

Mention the name Shuck's Bait and Tackle around the Iowa Great Lakes, and you think of the husband-wife team of Charlie and Bev Shuck. For 38 years, they have prided themselves in taking care of their customers and standing behind the fishing and hunting equipment they sold them.
After 27 years in the bait shop an offer came to sell giving them the opportunity to branch out into another area of the fishing industry: producing their own line of fishing tackle because as Bev says, "We can't sit still." So, over the past 11 years, they have shifted from the 7-day a week, 15-hour days at the bait shop to a work-from-home wholesale/retail fishing business. "That's what is nice about the Shuck's Lures business," Bev continues. "We can do everything from home and work when we want to.."
For the past 50 years, Charlie has been part of the fishing world on the Iowa Great Lakes. During that time, people have come to trust him when it comes to fishing advice. "My dad bought the Okoboji Bait Farm in 1961." The bait shop was a great place to learn the ways of some of the fishing legends of the Iowa Great Lakes, and with youthful enthusiasm, Charlie put this schooling to good use.
However, it was a four-year stint in the United States Coast Guard that cemented Charlie's future. While stationed at Wisconsin's Two Rivers Coast Guard Station, Charlie met his future wife Bev. Bev was not into fishing as much her future husband was. "When I was 5, I caught one fish, a sucker, and screamed and ran away," Yet years later here she was traveling with her husband to take over the Okoboji Bait Farm from Charlie's dad.
"In 1972, we decided to move the business across the road and erect a new building. However, we didn't have the money to just build, so Bev ran the business during the day (from the old bait shop) with help from my parents, while I worked for Butler Buildings in Spencer. Then after work, I would come home and work on the new building. Then on Sundays I ran a Des Moines Register route starting at 2 in the morning and finished in time to open the bait shop at 7 a.m.," Charlie reminisces.
That meant that during the week, Bev took care of the bait shop and her customers. "I came into this knowing nothing about fishing," Bev says, "I learned really fast. We had some great customers in those early years that really helped me out!"
To provide additional income, Charlie fed out 20,000 turkeys from a weight of four pounds to a finished weight of up to 30 pounds. "Actually, I started doing this when I was 16 years old, and except for the time I was in the Coast Guard when my brother and dad took over for me, I handled turkeys when I came back until 1978."
They both say it all came down to dollars and sense. The extra jobs meant not having to borrow money unnecessarily to purchase needed inventory. "We did not want to go in debt. We wanted to build the business and be able to provide our customers with the equipment they needed and wanted," says Charlie.
Over the course of the next 27 years, Charlie and Bev added onto the building three times. Customers came to know that if they wanted certain fishing or hunting products, they could go to Shuck's Bait and Tackle. "As we expanded and added inventory, our buying power increased with our wholesalers. That resulted in our being able to place special orders for our customers," notes Charlie.
By 1999, they were employing up to 12 employees, because they wanted their customers taken care of. "There is nothing worse than having a customer come in and have to stand around waiting to be helped," says Charlie.
"We were blessed with exceptional help," adds Bev. "We wanted our employees to feel that they had a stake in this business, so we gave them authority to deal with the customers and to develop a relationship with them."
Then after 27 years, it was time to move on to the next challenge. "We met a lot of great people over those years. Many are friends that still call us 11 years later with fishing questions, wanting to know where the fish are biting or just to chat," says Charlie.
It was only natural that Charlie and Bev would stay in the fishing industry. In 1974, Bev started Shuck's Lures when she bought out the Red Dot Spinner Company and began tying her own Shuck's harnesses, a series of highly regarded walleye spinner rigs. With their strong reputation, Bev continues that along with making an expanded selection of slip knot bobber stops.
However, it is the Jigger Minnow that has helped put Shuck's Lures into retail stores across the states of Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
The story of the Jigger Minnow goes back to the late 1980s when the Pilki, which was manufactured in Finland, was no longer shipped to the United States. "It was such a hot lure here that we went out and bought by the bulk as many as we could. We had fishermen come in and buy boxes of them, because they worked so well and they knew that we wouldn't be able to get any more!" says Bev.
After they were gone, Charlie and Bev found a friend who had designed something similar and had molds to produce the Jigger Minnow. Then in 1995, they began marketing and molding the Jigger Minnow themselves.
With two sizes, one designed for panfish in 24 colors and one for walleyes with 8 colors, the Jigger Minnow has found its way throughout the United States. Charlie and Bev continue to put their customers first and guarantee product satisfaction. Word of mouth continues to be the key for success, including The Internet. "The Internet opens up a whole new world of communication," says Charlie. "Fishermen use the Jigger Minnow and then share their success in chat rooms and on message boards. It's another form of sharing fishing information."
That's the way Charlie and Bev look at their Shuck's Lures company. "We continue to enjoy our customers and working with our dealers across the Midwest," says Bev. "We've enjoyed our lives in the fishing industry. Now with our own wholesale/retail business out of our home, we can work as hard and as long as we want, together." Charlie and Bev want to say, "Thank you to all of our customers for their support in the past and present."

High Blood Pressure During PregnancySkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Is this topic for you?
This topic is about high blood pressure that some women get while they are pregnant. For information about preeclampsia, a more serious kind of high blood pressure, see the topic Preeclampsia .
What is high blood pressure?
Blood pressure is a measure of how hard your blood pushes against the walls of your arteries. If the force is too hard, you have high blood pressure (also called hypertension).
Blood pressure is shown as two numbers. The top number ( systolic ) is the pressure when the heart pumps blood. The bottom number ( diastolic ) is the pressure when the heart relaxes and fills with blood.
Blood pressure is high if the top number is 130 or higher or if the bottom number is 80 or higher.
Blood pressure during pregnancy
Normally, a woman's blood pressure drops during her second trimester . Then it returns to normal by the end of the pregnancy.
But some women have high blood pressure while they are pregnant. They may have:
- High blood pressure that started before pregnancy. This is called chronic high blood pressure. It usually doesn't go away after the baby is born.
- Very high blood pressure that starts in the second or third trimester. This is called gestational hypertension. It usually goes away after the baby is born.
Sometimes high blood pressure during pregnancy is a first sign of preeclampsia . This condition can be dangerous for both mother and baby.
Having high blood pressure during pregnancy doesn't mean that you will get preeclampsia. But it does mean that you need to have your blood pressure checked often. And you may need treatment.
Why is high blood pressure during pregnancy a concern?
If your blood pressure is very high, it could keep your baby from getting enough blood and oxygen. This could limit your baby's growth, or it could cause the placenta to pull away from the uterus too soon. (This is called placenta abruptio .) It also could lead to stillbirth.
What are the symptoms?
High blood pressure usually doesn't cause symptoms. You will probably feel fine, even if your blood pressure is too high.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any signs of very high blood pressure or preeclampsia, such as:
- A severe headache.
- Blurry vision.
- Pain in your upper belly.
- Rapid weight gain-more than 2 lb (0.9 kg) in a week or 6 lb (2.7 kg) in a month.
How is high blood pressure diagnosed?
High blood pressure is usually found during a prenatal visit. This is one reason it's so important to go to all of your prenatal checkups.
At each prenatal visit, your doctor, nurse, or midwife will:
- Check your blood pressure. A sudden increase in blood pressure often is the first sign of a problem.
- Test your urine for protein. Too much protein in the urine is a sign of kidney damage caused by preeclampsia.
- Check your weight. Rapid weight gain can be a sign of preeclampsia.
If you have high blood pressure while you're pregnant, you will have regular tests to check your baby's health. These may include:
- Electronic fetal heart monitoring. This records your baby's heart rate.
- Fetal ultrasound. This test is done to check on your baby, the placenta, and the amount of amniotic fluid.
- Doppler ultrasound. This checks how well the placenta is working.
If your doctor thinks you are at high risk for preeclampsia, you may have other tests, including:
- Blood tests to check for problems such as kidney damage.
- A creatinine clearance test to check your kidney function.
How is it treated?
You may need to take medicine if your doctor thinks your blood pressure is too high. Medicines used to treat high blood pressure during pregnancy include methyldopa and nifedipine.
Some common blood pressure medicines are not safe during pregnancy. If you take medicine for chronic high blood pressure:
- Talk to your doctor about the safety of your medicine before you become pregnant or as soon as you learn you are pregnant.
- Be sure that your doctor has a complete list of all the medicines you take.
To reduce your risk for preeclampsia, your doctor may recommend that you take low-dose aspirin during the second and third trimesters of your pregnancy.
What can you do to take care of yourself?
To help control your blood pressure and have a healthy pregnancy:
- Be sure to go to all of your prenatal checkups so your doctor or midwife can check your blood pressure. You may also want to check your blood pressure at home.
- Don't smoke. This is one of the best things you can do to lower your blood pressure and to help your baby be healthy. If you need help to quit smoking, talk to your doctor.
- Gain an amount of weight that is healthy for you. Your doctor or midwife can help you set a pregnancy weight goal.
- If your doctor says it's okay, get regular exercise during pregnancy. Walking or swimming several times a week can help lower blood pressure. And it's good for you and your baby.
- Try to keep your stress level low. This may be hard to do, especially if you continue to work, have young children, or have a hectic schedule. But try to find some time to relax.

Photos of an Architect's DIY Wedding at the Nine in San Francisco
An Architect's DIY Wedding
An Architect's DIY Wedding
I recently attended the wedding of my friends Crystal and Troy. Troy is an architect and Crystal simply has terrific taste, so I knew the night would be a sight to behold. The couple planned the event themselves, with a little assistance from friends along the way, so the décor was full of thoughtful DIY details that truly made it memorable. "It wasn't a DIY wedding," as Crystal said, "but a do-it-with-the-help-of-everyone-you-know wedding."
The design was sophisticated in a clean, earthy, understated way. Nevertheless, it left me feeling inspired (and a bit teary eyed), not only about wedding design, but interior décor as well. I'm sure you'll discover plenty of inspiration too when you check out my photos.

REAL NAME: Travis Tomko
6' 6", 292 pounds
NICKNAMES:Travis Bain, the Problem Solver
WWE fans may only know Tyson Tomko as Christian's bodyguard but with the CLB traded to Smackdown, Tomko may be able to take advantage of Vince McMahon's penchant for pushing big men to carve out a niche of his own on Raw.
Tomko, trained by Hack Myers, broke in on the Florida independent circuit in 1999. By 2002, he had earned the interest of the WWE, who signed him to a developmental contract and assigned him to Ohio Valley. Wrestling as Travis Bain, the future Tyson Tomko became part of the Disciples of Synn in OVW, which also included Leviathan (Batista). Teaming with Seven (Mordecai), Bain defeated Rene Dupre and Lance Cade on March 5, 2003 to win the vacant OVW Tag Team titles.
In July 2003, Tomko was called up to WWE and, wrestling as both Travis Tomko and Travis Bain, working in dark matches during Raw tapings. Finally, on April 19, 2004, Tyson Tomko made his WWE Raw debut, interfering on Christian's behalf during his match against Chris Jericho.
At first, Tomko, dubbed "the Problem Solver", acted as simply Christian's bodyguard. But when Christian out with an injury, Tomko began serving in the same role for Trish Stratus in their feud against Chris Jericho. After several beatdowns from Tomko, Jericho challenged and defeated Tomko at Bad Blood in June 2004.
With the return of Christian in the fall of 2004, he and Tomko began teaming up, mostly against Jericho and various partners, including Shawn Michaels. By New Year's Revolution, the team of Tomko and Christian challenged William Regal and Eugene for the WWE Tag Team titles.
The battle between Jericho and Christian/Tomko would continue until June 2005, when Jericho turned on John Cena during a tag match on Raw. Tyson would then help Jericho and later, Kurt Angle in their battles with Cena.
With Christian traded to Smackdown and Trish leaving him behind, Tomko was at loose ends but began teaming first with Rob Conway and later with Snitsky, mostly on Heat.
In April 2006, Tomko left WWE, announcing plans to tour Japan and making appearances in Puerto Rico.
Tomko would make his grand North American return in late November on TNA, debuting on Impact to help Christian Cage beat down Sting. His heel character gained its notoriety as a member of The Christian Coalition and working mostly tag matches and doing run-ins.
During this time, Tomko would also work New Japan Pro Wrestling and win the IWGP Tag Team titles with Giant Bernard (formerly A-Train).
Tomko also won the TNA tag belts with AJ Styles when they defeated Team Pacman (Ron "The Truth" Killings and "Consequences" Creed with Pacman Jones) at Bound For Glory.

Kelly's first live BP session put on hold
MIAMI -- Pitcher Casey Kelly, one year and three days removed from Tommy John surgery, was scheduled to throw to live hitters on Saturday in extended spring training in Arizona.
But Kelly's session was put on hold when he said his elbow was a little sore. He will likely be reevaluated on Monday, and if he's cleared, he could proceed with his rehabilitation.
Kelly said by text message that he hopes it's nothing more than inflammation.
San Diego manager Bud Black said that Kelly's soreness was located in the back of the elbow and not the ulnar collateral ligament, which was repaired April 2, 2013.
Kelly's recovery and rehabilitation to this point had gone by without much of a hiccup, and there was a good chance that he could have been pitching for a Minor League affiliate by the end of the month.
That could still occur if the soreness in the elbow subsides and he's able to resume his rehab protocol.
Last month, pitcher Joe Wieland, working his way back from Tommy John surgery in July 2012, had soreness in the back of his elbow, specifically the triceps. It was a recurring issue during his rehab. He eventually had minor elbow surgery to remove a piece of scar tissue that had caused him soreness.
