OTTAWA — A former heart specialist will face a second trial for killing his two young children after Canada's highest court rejected his appeal on Thursday.
The Supreme Court upheld a lower court's ruling that Guy Turcotte face a new trial.
He stabbed his son Olivier, 5, and daughter Anne-Sophie, 3, dozens of times in a rented home north of Montreal in February 2009.
The ex-cardiologist admitted during his first trial in 2011 that he killed his children.
A jury found him not criminally responsible for the gruesome killings, accepting his claim that he was suicidal and despondent because his marriage was crumbling and his wife slept with a friend.
The verdict provoked outrage across Canada, with some calling for the death penalty.
Turcotte's ex-wife, Isabelle Gaston, a doctor who worked at the same hospital as Turcotte, said the Supreme Court has corrected a "nonsensical" verdict.
"I kept hoping that's what would happen," said Gaston, who has become a victims' rights activist since she lost her children.
She said the trial judge was "misled" by psychiatrists who testified for the defence at trial.
The killer spent just over a year in a Montreal mental hospital before he was released in December 2012.
He was re-arrested last November after the Quebec Court of Appeal granted the Crown's request to try Turcotte a second time.
Turcotte then appealed to the Supreme Court.
His case, and that of bus beheader Vince Li in Winnipeg, prompted the federal government to pass a new law that makes it more difficult to release people found not criminally responsible for serious crimes.

A bipartisan proposal to expand background checks to more gun buyers is in jeopardy. The pool of potential Republican votes that Democrats will need to push the measure through the Senate has dwindled, and President Barack Obama was calling lawmakers Monday as both sides hunted support for a nail-biting showdown vote expected this week.
A bipartisan proposal to expand background checks to more gun buyers is in jeopardy. The pool of potential Republican votes that Democrats will need to push the measure through the Senate has dwindled, and President Barack Obama was calling lawmakers Monday as both sides hunted support for a nail-biting showdown vote expected this week.
At stake is what has become the heart of this year's gun control drive in response to December's killing of children and staff at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Supporters consider a broadening of the buyers subjected to background checks to be the most effective step lawmakers can take, and Obama urged near universal checks in the plan he unveiled in January.
"This is America," said Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who spoke on the Senate floor as did Sen. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., promoting the background check compromise they reached last week and on which the chamber will vote. "This is about can we make a difference, can we change something."
Sixteen Republicans voted last week to reject an effort by conservatives that would have blocked the Senate from even considering a broad bill restricting firearms. With that debate now underway, Democrats hope to win enough supporters from this group to gain passage of the first amendment to that bill — the compromise between Manchin and Toomey — though more narrowly than Obama had hoped.
So far, seven Republican senators from that group have said they will oppose the Manchin-Toomey plan and one is leaning against it. Combined with the 31 senators who voted against debating the overall gun bill last week, that brings potential opponents of expanding background checks to 39 — just two fewer than opponents will need to sink the legislation.
"The Toomey-Manchin proposal, while well-intentioned, is not a solution to illegal gun violence. We already have major holes in the current" background check system, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Monday in a written statement. Graham was among the 16 who voted to allow the debate to begin.
Opponents say expanded checks would violate the Constitution's right to bear arms and would be ignored by criminals. They are forcing supporters of the background check plan to win 60 of the Senate's 100 votes, a high hurdle.
Fifty Democrats and two Democratic-leaning senators voted last week to begin debate. If all of them support the Manchin-Toomey plan — which is not guaranteed — they will still need eight additional votes.
So far, three Republicans who backed beginning debate have said they will vote for the Manchin-Toomey plan: Toomey and Sens. Mark Kirk of Illinois and Susan Collins of Maine. A fourth, John McCain of Arizona, said he is strongly inclined to do so.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., missed last week's vote after saying he was suffering from muscle weakness, but spokesman Caley Gray said he hopes to be in the Senate for votes this week.
Two Democrats, both facing re-election next year in GOP-leaning states, voted against beginning the gun control debate last week: Sens. Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas. Spokesman Devon Kearns said that Begich is still reviewing the amendment, while aides to Pryor did not immediately return emails and a phone call.
Background checks, designed to keep guns from criminals and the seriously mentally ill, are currently required only for sales handled by the nation's roughly 55,000 licensed gun dealers. The Manchin-Toomey measure would extend that to sales at commercial venues like gun shows and online, while exempting other transactions like those between relatives and friends.
"There's no debate that that's not an infringement of the Second Amendment" right to bear arms, Toomey said.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the gun legislation was "an absolute priority" and said Obama has been contacting senators, though he declined to say which ones.
But Carney said the vote would be "a difficult challenge." He said that because the Senate had voted last week to begin debating the measure "does not mean we have gotten to where we need to be, which is passage of legislation that is commonsense and that will reduce gun violence in America."
The White House originally had hoped for much more, including a ban on military-style rifles and high-capacity ammunition magazines.
The National Rifle Association said it was running an ad on cable television's Sportsman Channel and online criticizing Mayors Against Illegal Guns for running an ad showing a man holding a gun unsafely as he describes his support for expanded background checks.
"Is it possible he's an actor?" the ad asks, just before showing the NRA's "Stand and Fight" slogan.
Some relatives of the victims of the Connecticut families are planning a return trip to Capitol Hill this week to meet with senators they weren't able to visit on their lobbying trip last week. That trip was partly credited with helping move the Senate to debate the gun bill.
Also scheduled to be lobbying lawmakers this week are former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and her husband Mark Kelly, the retired astronaut. She was severely wounded in a 2011 mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz.
The Manchin-Toomey deal also would expand some firearms rights, easing some restrictions on transporting guns across state lines and protecting sellers from lawsuits if buyers pass a background check but later use a gun in a crime.
The compromise is an amendment to broader gun control legislation to strengthen laws against illegal gun trafficking and to slightly increase school security aid.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Concert promoter Live Nation announced Wednesday that a landmark Los Angeles music venue where Bob Marley, Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra performed will close its doors this fall.
The Gibson Amphitheatre's lease is ending in September and the venue will close its doors.
"It is a tremendous venue with a uniquely intimate setting that has made it a very special place for fans and artists alike," said Bret Gallagher, Live Nation's President of North American Concerts for Southern California and Las Vegas.
Gallagher said details will be soon announced for a series of summer farewell shows before the closure. Fans who were planning to attend concerts scheduled for after September are advised to hold on to their tickets as Live Nation makes arrangements for performances at different venues.
The 6,100-seat space opened as the Universal Amphitheatre in 1972, an outdoor venue at Universal Studios.
The mid-sized space with was loved by everyone from head bangers to heads of state for its intimate setting with superior sound. Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Madonna, Kanye West, the Grateful Dead and many other major artists performed there.
Other headliners included Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush.
And the amphitheatre also hosted comedians like Jay Leno, Eddie Murphy and Louis C.K.
The closure makes way for the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter," an attraction that's part of a major theme park and studio expansion by property owner NBCUniversal.

Nothing much has begun to bloom yet, except for the azalea which already is finished, and the clematis, which is looking beautiful right now.
And a little coreopsis.
Peonies are getting ready to open, so I'm excited for that.
And my roses and hydrangeas will be blooming before too long.
I put in some zinnias this year and hope they can thrive. Overall I'm happy with how it's coming along.
Added some new planters by the door.
I think I need a new doormat and maybe a few more plants in the lower part of the garden, depending how it fills in over the summer.
Happy Memorial Day to all!

Jack Coleman, a.k.a. Horn-Rimmed Glasses guy, a.k.a. HRG, a.k.a. the only character that didn't make us want to punch ourselves in the face every time he was on-screen, will be joining NBC's 2015 Heroes reboot.
I'm curious to know who else from the original TV series might join him. Zachary Quinto is a movie star, more or less and Hayden Panetierre is on Nashville, so I think they're out. I can't see Milo Ventimiglia returning to the series. Masi Oka has a recurring guest-role on Hawaii 5-O, but I bet he'd give it up to join a new Heroes as a full-time star. Greg Grunberg, Ali Larter, Sendhil Ramamurthy... Heroes did none of their careers any good, so the question is whether they're more desperate for work than bitter at the series.
Question: Would you even want any of the original characters back? Frankly, after four full seasons of Sylar having daddy issues with every single male character who wandered onscreen, I never care to see the character again. Give me HRG and let's start with an otherwise clean slate. Who's with me?

CORAL GABLES — Former Miami basketball coach Frank Haith filed a petition in Miami-Dade federal court Monday alleging illegal access was given to his bank accounts during the NCAA's investigation into UM athletics.
The 11-page document seeks testimony from Bank of America employees to determine the source of private information that ended up in the NCAA's hands. The legal petition became necessary when the bank chose not to cooperate with private inquires.
Haith, currently the head basketball coach at Missouri, received a NCAA Notice of Allegations in February stating he failed to promote an environment of compliance while at UM. The NCAA alleged Haith paid former booster Nevin Shapiro to keep him from going public with claims of NCAA recruiting violations.
Haith's petition states he met with NCAA enforcement members on multiple occasions and supplied various financial documents. A Sept. 5, 2012, interview centered on three specific checks the NCAA alleges Haith wrote to then-assistant coaches to pay off Shapiro.
Haith denies that allegation and now seeks to learn how the NCAA could cite the specific checks if he did not turn them over himself.
The petition states Haith and the Frank Haith Enterprises "anticipate bringing a civil action against Bank of America, as well as any other persons or entities engaged in the unlawful activity." They need to complete the investigation, which requires the evidence sought in Monday's petition. Haith's involvement in the NCAA investigation also "creates significant scheduling and logistical conflicts," the petition states.
According to the petition, Haith's wife, Pamela Haith, requested a Bank of America investigation in October. The bank responded the following month saying the Haiths would not be informed "if or when the bank identified person that breached the checking account." According to the petition, that was "an attempt to protect the bank."
The petition filed Monday requests subpoenas to depose Bank of America employees to find the source of the illegal leak "in anticipation of a civil lawsuit." It seeks to identify who accessed the non-public information, their purpose, the history of bank employees with access to the account and an explanation of bank policies regarding access to customer accounts.

Born: Warsaw, Poland
Describes Warsaw shortly after the German occupation in 1939, and his first experience of antisemitism [Interview: 1990]
Ben was one of four children born to a religious Jewish family. Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. After the Germans occupied Warsaw, Ben decided to escape to Soviet-occupied eastern Poland. However, he soon decided to return to his family, then in the Warsaw ghetto. Ben was assigned to a work detail outside the ghetto, and helped smuggle people out of the ghetto—including Vladka (Fagele) Peltel, a member of the Jewish Fighting Organization (ZOB), who later became his wife. Later, he went into hiding outside the ghetto and posed as a non-Jewish Pole. During the Warsaw ghetto uprising in 1943, Ben worked with other members of the underground to rescue ghetto fighters, bringing them out through the sewers and hiding them on the "Aryan" side of Warsaw. After the uprising, Ben escaped from Warsaw by posing as a non-Jew. Following liberation, he was reunited with his father, mother, and younger sister.

It takes more than just money to lure business
Every election cycle candidates for state office trumpet plans to lure businesses to the Granite State. We need to do more to pique business leaders' interest, and financial incentives such as tax breaks may be just the ticket, many candidates say. But a series of articles this week by The New York Times exploring the system by which states offer a total of $80 billion annually in incentives to businesses shows that company-courting gimmicks may leave states worse off in the long-run.
According to The Times, New Hampshire is one of the lowest giving states, spending $39 million per year on incentives such as tax breaks and grants, loans or loan guarantees for businesses — that works out to about $30 per capita. Meanwhile, Texas ranks as the top giver, offering $19 billion per year to entice companies (about $759 per capita) and officials often tout its economic acumen on the job-creation front. The pitfall of these breaks is that many companies close (leaving states on the hook for hefty loans) or use state incentives as leverage, simply packing up to go to another location if they don't get what they want, The Times reports. Many incentives, such as tax abatements, come at the expense of local public school systems that rely on tax payments, and often new jobs created from the incentives pay below a living wage — contributing to persistent poverty among workers.
Granite State officials often point to the state's lack of income or sales taxes as the "New Hampshire Advantage," the term coined to describe the state's competitive edge in drawing businesses. But what can get lost is the unique blend of other factors that convince business leaders to settle in New Hampshire; the tax structure benefits the state in concert with a skilled workforce and good quality of life. New Hampshire boasts good schools, low crime rates, plenty of open space and outdoor recreation opportunities and a relatively healthy population that enjoys good access to health care.
The Times' report makes it clear that financial incentives may be all it takes to lure some companies in, but getting them to stay takes something else. There will likely always be offers of bigger perks just beyond the state's borders. But by continually striving to make New Hampshire a place where business leaders can both make money and enjoy living and raising families, the state can position itself to maintain a stable, steadily-growing economy.

Characterization of Dealloyed Gradient Nanoporous Foams

Abstract Scope
Nanoporous metal foams possess an interesting combination of properties including good electrical and thermal conductivity, surface-to-volume ratio and yield strength. The values of individual properties can be tuned through changes in the foam morphology, including ligament and pore size. Dealloying, a selective corrosion process, is a versatile synthesis method for nanoporous materials as it is compatible with a wide range of alloy compositions and electrolytic solutions, and is capable of producing a wide range of pore sizes. Gradient nanoporous metal foams present an opportunity to improve the deformation behavior of the typically brittle nanoporous foams. Different techniques ranging from SEM and TEM to nanoindentation will be used to characterize the foam morphology, microstructure, and mechanical behavior of these materials.

Ending a substantial hiatus for the band, Defend Yourself is more of an organic reformation than a comeback album. In the words of Lou Barlow, "We were always going to make another record. There was never any point where we looked at each other and said, 'That's it. We're done.' We never actually quit at all-- we've been making music this whole time."
Barlow, Loewenstein, and D'Amico haven't wasted their musical talent over the last several years (as evidenced by solo albums, Dinosaur Jr., Fiery Furnaces, Folk Implosion, etc.), however, the Sebadoh name hasn't surfaced since 1999. Historically speaking, Sebadoh albums have paralleled momentous experiences in Barlow's life-- and this recording is no different. Defend Yourself is saturated with songs of heartache relating to the divorce from his wife and partner of 25 years. According to Barlow, "Your greatest victories and your most crushing defeats have a tendency to give birth to one other."
The new album also marks a return to the self-recorded DIY ethos of early Sebadoh albums (III, Bakesale, etc.):
"We did 'Defend Yourself' the only way it could have been done: on the cheap and all by ourselves," Barlow states.
Though this is hardly the band's first experience with home recording, technological advances beyond the 4-track cassette have allowed Defend Yourself to easily rank among Sebadoh's most sonically-engaging albums to date.
After a string of re-issues on Domino, Defend Yourself also marks their 20th year with the independent label.
This band shares a member with Deluxx Folk Implosion and The Folk Implosion. This artist is a member of Jason Loewenstein and Lou Barlow.
- Sebadoh share NEW VIDEO FOR 'I WILL'
- Sebadoh announce UK dates and unveil first track from new album Defend Yourself

History revisited…
Pretty cool that just a few feet away, Vin Scully is doing the Dodger broadcast, Joe Garagiola is doing the D-backs broadcast and down in the dugout, Kirk Gibson is managing the D-backs. All three men were there on Oct. 15, 1988 when Gibby hit the famous home run in Game 1 of the World Series.
A few of us were joking before the game that when Gibson goes to the mound to pull out his pitcher, he should do a fist pump with his right arm like he did rounding the bases.
Meanwhile Joe G. and Joe T. were hanging in the dugout during batting practice and a ton of players came over to meet Garagiola. The broadcast area here is named for him and they have a cool timeline of his history in the game of baseball.

That's just what I was looking for, the Dodgers breaking out in front with a big inning.
That was a crazy inning, but we'll take the gifts. Thanks D-backs. I love when the Dodgers make base running blunders and Vinny brings up Babe Herman 3 men on 3rd base story.
The best thing about Kemp's HR was that Kershaw did not have to run the bases.
That's the way to do it Clayton, shut them down after we get a bunch, don't give them anything back.
What more holiday gifts?
This is why I'm not the manager. Wow did I see that right 5 errors by the dback?
Keep it going guys!!!!
I'm surprised that Vin never mentioned it.
Joel Youngblood (D'backs 3rd base coach)was the only player to get a hit for two different teams in the same day (I think this still stands).
If I remember the Mets, after a day game, which he got a hit in, traded him to, I believe, the Expos, where he got a hit in a night game.
Way to go Raffy!!!!
Geez 2nd night in a rows the Padres manage to get a run in the 8th innings.
I think scoring runs like this ( with HRs) is a LOT MORE FUN.
Alright Raffy!!!! He's really on fire. His batting average is now .340. He would be leading the league in hitting if he had enough plate appearances to qualify.
Goodness!!!! Watching a crazy baseball game (compared to last night) and a wild race in Daytona. Can't get much better than that!!
I want to see a team with 15 errors lol
Now that Pards won we better hold on to this lead.
Wow 6th errors.
I felt bad for Abreu. Is it now the time for the Ojeda to make an error to since he's the only IF's that haven't mae one.
That's 8 RBI for Paul.
I say sometimes, "no lead is a safe lead", but this lead…aaahhh
The X-man has a sweet swing. Torre should let him play everyday while Manny is out.
I still like Paul in the top of the order
oldbrooklynfan ~ I think we can all relax now.
Kershaw got a lot of support tonight.
but he pitch very well.
If the Dodgers blew this lead, I think it would be a record and I'd have to run and hide somewhere.
What the hell Kershaw hurt?
N/M look like PC but he could've gotten Reynolds out.
It would be great if the Dodgers could put all these runs in a bank and used them when they need them.
I hope they don't need any of them tomorrow.
Don't do it Torre. Let's Schlichting finish it off.
lol what a worthless hit by Anderson.
Good to see Thome hit 2 homeruns to moved into 10th places and pass hof Killbrew with 574 homeruns.
Schlichting did a nice job.
Happy 4th to those who've reached it.
A nice 1 2 3 innings Broxton after that crap last time.
HOLD THAT LEAD BROX!!!lol
This was a good game to fatten up the offensive statistics.
Happy independence day everyone.
Incidentally I kept score of the whole game.
Thanks for a relaxing game Dodgers!!! The race was pretty intense so watching the Dodgers skin the snakes easily tonight was very enjoyable and for once in a long while, stress free.
Dodgers after 80 games.
'07—-45-35 3rd PL.
'08—-38-42 2nd PL.
'09—-51-29 1st PL.
'10—-44-36 2nd PL.
I love last year record lol
That suck for Furcal and he need some 20+ more PA to be #1 in the batting titles over Prado.
Happy 4th ITD!
I was just reading all the posts that I missed from the prior thread. Well said (as always) on your long post. The only thing Is I would say DAN EVANS instead of Kevin Malone here:
"SINCE THEN, there have been many playoffs, but no Series win. Our team has been so talented with the nurturing of Logan White (and Kevin Malone, arguably)"
HOpe every a safe 4th of July.
Congratulations to Andre and Brox for making the NL All-Star Team!!!!
Happy 4th of July everybody!!!! Thanks to all our military for protecting those freedoms this day stands for.
Awsome news about Andre and Brox!
And, yes, we must take time to thank the men and women in the military for keeping us safe and making this a great country!
Congrats to Andre and Brox! Kuo also deserved it but I would rather have Brox and Kuo rest during the All-Star break.
I'll wear my Andre shirt and Jonathan All-Star shirt to the All-Star game.
For the All-Star FanFest, I'll be volunteering so they supply you with an All-Star polo shirt. I have to wear kahki pants with that. I better check if my kahkis still fit me.
Andre ended up finishing 2nd in the voting, with Jason Heyward being 3rd. Kuo is mentioned as well in this article by Tony Jackson.
Andre is the first Dodger outfielder to be selected to the All-Star Game since Darryl Strawberry back in 1991. Wow!!!

The U.S. Department of Commerce inspector general has started an investigation into West Virginia's use of $126.3 million in federal stimulus funds to expand high-speed Internet.
The Office of Inspector General plans to determine whether the state spent the broadband stimulus funds "properly and efficiently." The office also will examine whether West Virginia's application for the stimulus funds included "material misrepresentations," according to a letter released by the inspector general's audit division.
U.S. Reps. Greg Walden of Oregon and John Shimkus of Illinois requested the review, following a series of Charleston Gazette reports that raised questions about West Virginia's stimulus spending.
"I am pleased that our concerns about this spending are being investigated," Shimkus said Wednesday. "We just wanted answers, and this seems to be an appropriate step to determine if any policies were violated."
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's administration, which is responsible for implementing the broadband project, promised to cooperate with the review, which is expected to last eight months to a year.
"We are happy to assist the inspector general and provide any needed information," said state homeland security chief Jimmy Gianato, who also heads the state's three-member broadband project team. "We believe we have a good grant and believe this is going to give great opportunities to all West Virginians."
The inspector general has scheduled a special meeting today with leaders of the National Telecommunications & Information Administration, the federal agency overseeing West Virginia's $126.3 million grant. West Virginia officials were not invited.
During the review, the inspector general plans to ask NTIA officials to explain how they evaluated West Virginia's request for the stimulus funds, and what steps the federal agency took to verify state officials' claims in the federal grant application.
In the application, former Gov. Joe Manchin's office said the state would build 2,400 miles of fiber, but the project's current plan calls for 567 miles of fiber.
"As always, we will work cooperatively with the inspector general's office as they conduct their review," an NTIA spokeswoman said Wednesday. "We thoroughly reviewed this application before awarding the grant and continue to believe this project will bring much-needed benefits to the people of West Virginia."
The inspector general started the review Friday. Agency auditors plan to review documents at NTIA's headquarters in Washington. Auditors also are expected to inspect sites and question officials in West Virginia.
"In general, our review will involve interviews with officials from West Virginia and the NTIA, site visits and the review of documentation," said Clark Reid, the inspector general's legislative and external affairs officer.
In 2010, West Virginia received a $126.3 million federal stimulus grant to bring high-speed fiber-optic cable to 1,064 "community anchor institutions" - schools, libraries, county courthouses, 911 centers, health-care clinics and state agencies. State officials have used $24 million from the grant to purchase Internet routers.
The Gazette has reported that the Cisco 3945 series were built to serve a minimum of 500 users, and up to tens of thousands of users. But the state has installed the "enterprise-class" devices in some public facilities with only a few Internet connections. Seventy percent of the routers wound up in schools and libraries.
Walden and Shimkus, who serve as chairmen of two House Energy subcommittees, cited the Gazette's reports during a May 16 hearing on Capitol Hill. The House Republicans grilled the Obama administration's telecommunications chief, Lawrence Strickling, about West Virginia's router purchase.
The Gazette also has reported that more than 300 routers remain boxed up in storage. The routers - purchased in July 2010 - came with a five-year service warranty, so the state already has lost two years of free maintenance on the devices.
State officials are working to find sites to install the routers. The devices funnel data, such as email and websites, from one computer network to another.
The Office of Inspector General investigates allegations of "waste, fraud and abuse," according to the agency's website. The inspector general has previously audited other NTIA broadband programs.
West Virginia so far has spent $56.4 million of the $126.3 million broadband grant.
In addition to the routers and fiber, the state is using the stimulus funds to build 12 new microwave towers designed to improve the state's public safety system.
The stimulus money also will pay to bring fiber cable from the Green Bank Observatory in Pocahontas County to West Virginia University. That project will allow scientists and researchers to transfer data more quickly.

This is a nice gun for it's price, pretty cool looking too. The flashlight is a bonus when shooting at night. Only thing is they sent me a suppressor that was the wrong size. But otherwise it shoots very nicely.

Article by Richard Berckleman Master builder, Real Estate Sales.
It is true to say that people judge a book by its cover yet when looking for ways to improve the chances of selling your home most people look at internal renovations or upgrading the bathrooms and kitchens. Home owners can often spend a fortune on things that do not improve the street appeal of a home. Whats the point of having a great kitchen if you can't get the client inside to view it?
If you want to sell your home you need to look at it as a potential client would!
The first thing a purchaser does when seeking out a property is to look at internet or newspaper listings for properties for sale. The first impression a customer gets is from the photographs of the home. They look at the internal photos but the ultimate decider is the overall appeal of the property.
When a client comes into the office to look for a property, they are searching for specific conditions such as 3 bedrooms, 2 story, garaging etc… but when they inspect the property other things far more important to them come into consideration.
So 3 BIG tips? What Are They?
1. Privacy,
Privacy is most important. The home may be beautiful inside but if overlooked by surrounding developments the private space of the home is reduced. Maybe the neighbors windows look straight into the home, maybe you feel like you are being watched no matter where you are in the house.
2. Security.
The home may offer everything you want except you have the feeling of being exposed because the home does not have adequate security. You may feel exposed to the threat of intruders or it may be that your concerns are the security of your children or pets.
3. Street Appeal
All clients ask to see the street frontage of the property before considering the internal layout. Sure clients want come into the office and ask for a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home with a garage but when they are considering which homes to view, it's the street appeal of the property that gets them through the front door.
You can't sell a home if you can't get the clients in the door to inspect it!!!
So what would I do? Firstly, adding privacy screens and raising fence heights in selected areas to increase privacy. If overlooked from above it is best to add a pergola or outdoor covered space. If your fences are at a maximum height as allowed by the state fencing codes add a natural hedge plant or wire and vines to increase your privacy. Privacy is the number 1 reason people feel uncomfortable in a new property.
This guide to designing and building your own fencing and gates has all the information you need to make a huge difference to your home and sale values. It even contains links to the local county fence codes and a collection of letters to send your neighbors.
Security is a major issue. Some people can observe and overcome security problems but most clients feel uncomfortable in the property but can't explain why. If you have young children your major concerns would be their welfare and security. May security issues are raised by lack of privacy so curing privacy issues can go a long way toward making your potential sale successful!
Street appeal is the magic that attracts people to fall in love with a property. It may be character filled heritage homes or super modern developments but in all cases it is the street appeal that helps get the clients into your home!
I have driven many clients to view properties and in some cases the client will pass up the opportunity of viewing the home based on their impression from the street! They don't even leave the car even though the property offers all the required items the customer has requested!
Street appeal is a personal thing. Some homes are just plain ugly and have little appeal. So what is the secret to dramatically improve the street appeal or presentation of your property?
The secret to dramatically changing the street appeal of your property, while at the same time improving or curing privacy and security concerns is to change or install new fencing, screens and gates. Fencing and gates cost considerably less than kitchen or bathroom renovations and will dramatically improve your sale price.
Fencing and gates can improve the street appeal, privacy and security of your property cheaply and quickly. Plus most handymen can build decorative wooden fences and gates themselves and save a fortune!

40 Years Of Steve Carlton
It remains, in short, the most amazing season a pitcher has put together since at least Sandy Koufax, and very probably since long before him. And now, Steve Carlton's 1972 campaign, when he won 27 of his rotten team's 59 games, dates to 40 years ago.
So much has been written about Lefty's work that it is amazing to consider that an extraordinarily relevant detail is usually omitted from the recounting – one that makes winning 46 percent of one team's entire supply of victories all the more remarkable.
Steve Carlton did it in a strike-shortened season.
The first sport-wide in-season strike in American history would in later contexts seem so brief as to be almost quaint. But when Opening Day was pushed back by a week forty years ago, and each team lost between six and nine games, it was traumatic – and it contributed to the distinct possibility that Carlton missed an opportunity to win 30 games.
The Phillies were to open in St. Louis on Friday, April 7 – 43 days after they had obtained Carlton straight-up from the Cardinals for Rick Wise – and were then to return for the home opener and an additional game against Montreal beginning April 10. They should've been in Chicago on April 14th, but that was the last of the six games which were wiped out, simply cancelled with no attempt to squeeze in make-ups nor compensate for the havoc of imbalanced schedules that would, among other things, largely decide who won the American League East that year.
One speculates about a small alteration in a large swath of history at one's peril. Just because the guy got caught stealing does not mean the team would've scored two runs when the next batter homered. They could've pitched to him differently or they could've hit him or the guy standing safely at second at just that moment could've invoked a Rapture of some kind. Contemplating Carlton opening up against his erstwhile Cardinal teammates on April 7th instead of against the Cubs on April 15th is rife with hypothetical disaster. He might have hurt himself there, or begun the path to a bad habit, or not faced the right batter he challenged in just the right way to uncover the keys that led to his marvelous season. For all we know, if the players hadn't struck and the games hadn't been cancelled, Steve Carlton might've lost 27 games for the 1972 Phillies.
But it is deliciously intriguing to note that Carlton won all four of his starts against the Cards in his first season out of their uniform. With Phils' skippers Frank Lucchesi and Paul Owens adhering pretty rigidly to a four-man rotation, Carlton would've pitched in the second home game against the Expos on April 12 – and of course Carlton also won all of his starts (three of them) against Montreal in '72. But if the original schedule had been observed, that would have pushed his third start from April 15 against the Cubs to April 17 against the Cards, and it probably would have denied him the chance to start the last game before the All Star break. Thus if you buy any of the argument that the strike "cost" Carlton, it probably cost him one start and the most his theoretical full season should've netted him was 28 wins instead of the actual 27.
Of course, since we're down the What-If rabbit hole, the real fun comes when we look at the 14 starts Carlton did not win, in route to 27-10.
The first stunning overarching truth about Carlton's 1972 season was that he did it almost all by himself. He lasted through 30 Complete Games, and only three of his 27 wins were saved by other relievers. For contrast, when Bobby Welch won 27 for the 1990 A's, the sport had already changed so much that all but seven of those wins had saves (19 by Dennis Eckersley) and Welch threw just two CG's – both shutouts. Incredibly, Carlton blew the lead in one of his own non-win starts five times during 1972, and could only blame the tissue-thin Phillies' bullpen for one other defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. Amazingly, Carlton endured a five-game losing streak beginning May 13th. His own error was the fulcrum in a 3-1 loss to the Dodgers and Claude Osteen at home that night, and the other games in the skein saw Carlton surrender at least three earned runs. The streak ended with a no-decision exactly a month later when Carlton helped cough up his own 5-0 lead to the Reds. Johnny Bench and Julian Javier homered in the 7th, but it was still 5-3 Phillies when Joe Morgan doubled off Carlton to lead the 8th. Reliever Chris Short let the inherited run score, and then Hal McRae touched him for the game-tying homer to start the 9th. The Phils would lose it in the 10th.
There were four occasions when just slightly more offense from the Philadelphia bats might've gotten him another win or two. On June 16th in the Astrodome he struck out a dozen and gave up just six hits and four walks in ten innings, but the Phils could do nothing with Don Wilson and Tom Griffin, and Dick Selma lost it in the 11th on a walk-off homer to Jimmy Wynn. On August 21st, Carlton again did marathon work without a win: 11 innings of seven hit, two run ball. He struck out 10 more, but the Phils turned nine hits and a walk off Phil Niekro into just one score, and Carlton's 15-game winning streak was snapped. At Shea on September 24th, he gave up a lead-off homer to Tommie Agee and then watched John Bateman throw away a squib in the 8th, setting up the game-deciding sacrifice fly by the very non-immortal Lute Barnes in a 2-1 defeat (one of seven career RBI in a cameo career by the Mets' second baseman).
But the best bet for another Carlton win probably came at Candlestick on July 15th. Carlton struggled through five, and was trailing 4-0 when Joe Lis pinch-hit for him. In the seventh, the winds changed and Phillies scored eleven off the Giants, and Bucky Brandon would vulture the win.
In short, we all knew as it happened that Carlton was creating something none of us had ever seen before. Just how special it was is only becoming clear now, with 40 years to ponder it.

That was a lot of fun to read so I looked up some more stats on baseball-reference. Carlton was 2-5 in May and 3-1, 4-0, 6-0, 6-2 and 6-2 in all the other months! 31 games started on three days of rest (and I thought CC Sabathia was impressive in 2008). The Mets accounted for four of his losses. His highest ERA was against the NL champion Reds– 4.13– but he was still 2-0 against them. His ERA was almost a full run higher with Tim McCarver behind the plate (1.60 with John Bateman, 27 games, 2.52 with McCarver, 12 games). His WHIP of .993 was higher than Verlander's in 2011– .920. But for Carlton to have 27 of the Phillies' 59 wins (46%)– that is just crazy.
Rick Wise had a good career,pitching a no-hitter in 1971 where he hit TWO homers and winning Game 6 of the 1975 Series in relief, but let's face it, the Phils committed HIGHWAY ROBBERY in that trade!
Also I'm a cyberfriend of Bob Welch and I don't think he appreciates being called 'Bobby" (though in hindsight I think Eckersley should have won the Cy that year.).
Thanks for rekindling some great memories. I saw Carlton pitch for the minor league Tulsa Oilers in either 66 or 67. He threw so hard that it was often difficult to see it. Once, I was seated nearby while he was warming up. I remember actually hearing the ball go through the air. I have seen a lot of pitchers over the years, but the sound of his pitch still stands out.
As a lifelong Cards fan, I was devastated when they traded him for Rick Wise. After Carlton's astounding feats in 72, I figured it was due to some cosmic retribution for the other one-sided trade of that era: Ernie Broglio, straight up for Lou Brock.
I was too young to enjoy Lefty's magical 27-10 season, but when I started paying attention to baseball a few years later it quickly became obvious why going to The Vet when Carlton was pitching was called "Win Day".
Until now, I only thought of Carlton as a cigarette or hotel. It is truly amazing how much we learn here. My only child was born that year of '72. I like that you call it the "What-if" rabbit hole. Though it makes possibilities endless, I try never to go down that hole. Just too painful. Thanks for the something new that I learned today. Welcome back, Kotter. 40 is a magical number. Though it helps to keep order, I am so grateful that there is no such thing as time. (Left, right, left, go to your left, your right, your left.) 😉
This is reminiscent of Bill Veeck recounting his purchase of the St. Louis Browns. He said about the only thing the team had going for it was pitcher Ned Garver, and he seemed to be on his way to 20 wins. He did it for a team that lost 102 games. Veeck said, perhaps exaggerating, that they would pitch Garver and if he gave up some runs take him out so he could pitch sooner.
It also brings to mind the oft-told story, usually attributed to Ralph Kiner and Branch Rickey, about Kiner telling Rickey he deserved a raise for hitting 54 homers for a last-place club and Rickey replying that they could have finished last without him. They could have, and the Phillies could have finished last without Carlton. But for the pitcher to win 20 games for such a terrible team is, I should think, a greater achievement than a power hitter accomplishing what Kiner did, or Andre Dawson with the 1987 Cubs.
Congrats for Steve Carlton. In my opinion in baseball the pitcher is the most important player on the field.
Peace, David
Keith: Great article! Great observations.
I went over to baseball-reference.com. They have what are called "Gray Ink" and "Black Ink" monitors. They measure all-time greatness based on year by year Top 5 and leaders in many categories. You measured Carlton's one season greatness, but here are the greatest lefties for a career. Steve is #4 of all-time. Not shabby.

NEA funding action
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grants awarded to orchestras, and NEA funds administered by state arts agencies, support projects that increase access to music in communities nationwide. NEA funding to orchestras also spurs critical giving from other sources like private foundations, corporations, and individual contributors. Congressional support for the NEA has strengthened in recent years, evidenced by incremental funding increases. Unfortunately, the NEA has never recovered from a 40 percent budget cut in FY96, and its programs are seriously under funded. Fully restoring funding for the NEA will, in turn, increase the capacity of orchestras to support arts education for children and adults, expand public access to performances, preserve great classical works, and nurture the creative endeavors of contemporary classical musicians, composers, and conductors.
Contacting Congress is simple and will make a difference. We have prepared an advocacy campaign with essential background, talking points, and a template letter for you to personalize your communication with policymakers. Please note that identical copies of your letter will go to both of your Senators and your Representative.

So I dropped into a local thrift shop and picked up a JBL PowerBass PB10 10" home theater sub, and a Sunfire (Bob Carver) True Subwoofer Mk II 10" sub.
Neither one worked properly, so I took them apart to discover that an out of production part was defective in the JBL (can't replace it) so that one is trash. I'd ned to swap out the factory plate amp with a new amplifier, and frankly it's not worth the effort or cost.
The Sunfire however, just had a bunch of bad caps. I replaced those and bingo, works like a champ.
10" long throw sub, 10" radiator, 2700 watt amplifier. This thing can shake the entire house. It hits scary low and obnoxious loud. This thing rivals a lot of cars in regards to the amount of bass it puts out. I think I really like this little thing, for as small as it is.
This is the dead JBL
and the Sunfire...

Birds that once flourished in suburban skies, including robins, bluebirds and crows, have been devastated by West Nile virus, a study found.
Populations of seven species have had dramatic declines across the continent since West Nile emerged in the United States in 1999, according to a first-of-its-kind study. The research, appearing in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature, compared 26 years of bird breeding surveys to quantify what had been known anecdotally.
"We're seeing a serious impact," said study co-author Marm Kilpatrick, a senior research scientist at the Consortium of Conservation Medicine in New York.
West Nile virus, which is spread by mosquito bites, has infected 23,974 people in confirmed cases since 1999, killing 962, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But the disease, primarily an avian virus, has been far deadlier for birds. The death toll for crows and jays is easily in the hundreds of thousands, based on the number dead bodies found and extrapolated for what wasn't reported, Kilpatrick said.
The virus hit the seven species — American crow, blue jay, tufted titmouse, American robin, house wren, chickadee and Eastern bluebird — hard enough to be scientifically significant. Only the blue jay and house wren bounced back, in 2005.
The hardest-hit species has been the American crow. Nationwide, about one-third of crows have been killed by West Nile, said study lead author Shannon LaDeau, a research scientist at the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center in Washington. The species was on the rise until 1999.
In some places, such as Maryland, crow loss was at 45 percent, and around Baltimore and Washington, 90 percent was gone, LaDeau said.
While crows are scavengers and often disliked, they play a key role in nature by cleaning up animal carcasses, LaDeau noted. Researchers will next look into what species benefit from the disappearance of crows.
Researchers noted that the die-offs came in patches, with many in some places and none in others. Maryland appeared to be the epicenter of bird deaths, though that was partly because the data were not as good from New York, where the virus first hit, LaDeau said.
Chickadees, Eastern bluebirds and robins in Maryland were 68 percent, 52 percent, and 32 percent below expected levels in 2005. Tufted titmouse populations in Illinois were one-third of what they were expected to be.
"It tends to be more suburban areas. Some of the common backyard species including the blue jays, the robins, the chickadees have suffered significant declines," LaDeau said. "That heavily packed urban corridor is a bad place to be a bird. The reason for that is that the mosquito prefers human landscape. They do very well in suburbia."
The birds act as an early warning system for humans, said Wesley Hochachka, assistant director of bird population studies at Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
"If you start seeing crows dying and dying in numbers, that means there could be a human outbreak," said Hochachka, who was not involved with the study.
The researchers looked at 20 species that were regularly counted each breeding season and found that populations of 13 species were not down because of West Nile. Biologists say they have seen other species with many deaths, including owls, hawks, sage grouse and yellow-billed magpies, but there are no breeding surveys to quantify how bad the problem has been.
Although entire small clusters of crows were "wiped out by West Nile virus in a single season," Greg Butcher, director of bird conservation at the National Audubon Society, remained hopeful.
"All of those (bird populations) have the capacity to rebound," he said.
