View the Latest Public Appointments page.
The Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) is responsible for making appointments to a variety of public bodies, either directly as Ministerial appointments or by way of nomination to the Boards.
The non-departmental government bodies (NDPBs) for which DCAL is responsible for are as follows:-
Other bodies are:
Appointments to our NDPBs are regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments (NI) (CPA NI).
Forthcoming public appointments to the Department's bodies are listed twice-yearly in the six-monthly list of public appointments that is published by the Central Appointments Unit (CAU) of the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM) in the "All Aboard" newsheet.
The Department is committed to the principle of public appointments made on merit, with independent assessment, openness and transparency of process. The Department is also committed to equality of opportunity, probity and proportionality.
DCAL has responsibilty for ensuring that the individuals it appoints are committed to the principles and values of public service.
The Department advertises many of its public appointments and is keen to diversify its applicant pool. We are working with both CPA NI and CAU to achieve this.
Not all appointments are advertised as in some instances there are nominating bodies which have a statutory right to make nominations or where it would not be cost effective.However, in these cases CPA NI Principles are still applied.

When heading out on the sidewalk feels like a trek onto the Antarctic ice sheet, strap on the Kahtoola MICROspikes Traction System, and get durable grip on even the slickest surfaces. This flexible system attaches securely to running shoes, casual shoes, hikers, and snow boots, and provides a firm bite in ice, snow, or wet rocks thanks to a dynamic stainless steel flex chain with strategically placed 3/8-inch spikes. The durable elastomer shoe harness stretches for a snug fit, and the whole thing folds up to fit in your coat pocket or pack.
Share your thoughts
What do you think of the
Kahtoola MICROspike Traction System
? Share a...
Icey Hike
Love these things.
These were the best $60 I spent last winter. Not much to add to what everyone else has already written, but wanted to share my serious love for my spikes. I've used them on ~10 hikes, and they still look new. I've used them a lot on bare rock since I'm too lazy to put on/take off in between icy and rocky sections, and they look no worse for the wear. Hopefully the rubber lasts a while, because it doesn't look like the spikes are in any jeopardy.
I have 10.5 feet, I got the medium. A little snug around my Keen PCT boots, but I like them snug vs. floppy, which the larges were.
They're great
Recently I used them on section h of the PCT when I encountered snow just north of Shoe Lake near white pass. I wear size 14 Zamberlan boots and the XL Microspike fit perfectly. Really easy to get on and off, they're light and provide good traction. I will be taking them along for my 200 mile PCT trip from white pass to Mt. Hood. Specifically for the goat rock wilderness area where I will likely encounter snow by the Packwood glacier.
Easy to get off and on and provide insane traction. I use these for some winter hiking but mostly to keep me vertical on my steep driveway when I clear it off. It is exactly what I needed.
I used the microspikes on a recent trip to Glacier National Park to cross snowfields. They provided a significant amount of extra traction, and were very easy to take on and off and attach to my pack with a carabiner when I didn't need them. I was very pleased with the microspikes. If you're on the edge of the sizing window, I would go with the smaller size because they can stretch quite a bit. I wear a size 11 or 11.5 and the large fit well for me.
I wear a size 10.5 trail running shoe. I...
I wear a size 10.5 trail running shoe. I notice on the sizing chart that this is a border size. Would I be better off getting a M or L size? Part of me thinks it may be wise to get a Large in the case that I get some insulated boots some day, but I hear they stretch a bit over time and am afraid of them being too large for trail running shoes if that's the case. Any first hand experience?
Ryan, I would go with the Large and you will be covered if you decide to wear them with boots. Even with the Large there will be plenty of compression on your shoes over time.
These things are just great
I got my first uses of my microspikes while out in Yosemite just two weeks ago. I was shocked I got use out of them in June in Yosemite, but that's a whole different story this year.
I brought them with me on a hike up Clouds Rest and we hit snow early in the morning which was still hard and icy. I started traversing some of it on a slope in just trail-runners and quickly realized I had no traction. I threw on my microspikes (which went on very easily) and I had instant and perfect traction. I made quick work of the hardened snow and felt very comfortable doing so.
I used to use Yaktrax, but these things put Yaktrax to shame in terms of traction and only expensive crampons would provide as much and more.
Kahtoola Spikes
Yes, these spikes are as good as everyone else says. They are super handy for spring and early summer hiking in the cascades.
Here is one thing i didnt see anyone else mention though: If u wear the spikes in deeper snow (snow u should prob have snow shoes on for) the rubber part can ball up snow and hold it in close to ur boot. This makes for a wet cold foot even with leather gortex boots on.
If u stick to the hard pack and icy stuff on the trails and use the spikes how they are meant to be used then they work GREAT.
Best invention ever! I hiked Tuckerman Ravine (Mount Washington, NH) in the beginning of May and these babies were perfect for the terrain I encountered (ice, snow, rocks, mud, etc). I would recommend these to anyone who likes to hike. They gave me confidence and sure footedness like nothing else I have had on my feet. They're very durable and portable too.
My New Best Friend
I have several pairs of ice cleats, i.e., Yaktrax, Atlas, Stabil-Icers, Katoola crampon-like cleats and my new Katoola MICROspikes. I hike twice a week, year round in Southeast Alaska in all kinds of icy terrain and these cleats are THE BEST. They are lightweight, easy and quick on and off and they are great on ice! I wear them over Asolo hiking boots. They are my new best friend.
Kahtoola Spikes
Kahtoola Spikes
Got these for winter hikes in NH. They do an alright job. Halfway decent grip but will never match a true crampon.
Great Grippers
These things are great. Solid underfoot and non-slip. I use them over my hiking boots and ski boots. I wasn't sure about sizing, so I bought medium and large to test fit. I went with the large even though my shoe size is smaller and returned the medium. Backcountry has by far the BEST return process that I've found on the Web. Good job folks.
Great traction, not very durable.
I really like these chains. I use them to walk my dog in the snowy and icy Wisconsin winter. I was disappointed, however, that they broke in less than one season and I was forced to do a home repair job to get them to last one season. If you plan to use them mainly to walk over pavement that may or may not be icy or snow covered, they won't last very long. I did get mine replaced and I'm hoping my second pair will last longer.
Kahtoola MicroSpikes
My son and daughter in-law wearing them while my wife has on traditional crampons.
Made with nanotechnology...?
I've had the red ones for a few years now and they still work perfectly for almost any winter terrain in the white mtns. I sharpened my spikes with a file mid season and suspect I will get another year or two of use out of my original set. I wear a size 12 or 12.5 and wear a large for my boots. My trail running shoes are a size 12 however and my girlfriends medium set fits a lot better. Consider not just the sizing of the shoe but the overall mass or type of shoe, ie. boot vs. trail running shoe. Hopefully my size reference helps someone choose the right microspike size!
Any suggestion on size for Asolo Revenge...
Any suggestion on size for Asolo Revenge (size 12) hiking boot and Keen Blackcomb insulated boots (size 13)? Will a large (L) work for both? Thanks!
They stretch quite a bit, a large should work.
Incredible gripping and traction
I have gone through a countless number of YakTrax Pros and finally decided to pony up what it takes to get some serious ice spikes. The Kahtoola MicroSpikes deliver in a big way. When I'm on icy Rocky Mountain trails with my MicroSpikes, I can run with confidence and without any worry. At first, it's kind of unnerving hammering it over pure ice, but with MicroSpikes you know you have the footing to get in that great workout regardless of how slick the trail might be. Huge props to Kahtoola for this incredible product that delivers superb traction thanks to sharp teeth that really dig in with each step.
Also, last Sunday I ran in Boulder, CO with a pal who wore YakTrax Pros. It took me half the time to slip on my MicroSpikes that it took him to put on his YakTrax. You just slip on the MicroSpikes and you're ready to go. No velcro strap and hassle.
Kahtoola MicroSpikes are one of the best products I've ever bought. Huge thumbs up.
Easy On, Easy Off
I used these this past weekend for shoveling the driveway and pushing a car that was stuck. They provided great grip on the hard packed snow and ice. They were usable on the dry pavement, though I would not choose to walk any distance that way. The best feature is that I can put them on and take them off with one hand without sitting down.

When Richard Simnel invents the locomotive, it's Steam Engine Time in Ankh-Morpork, the greatest city of the Discworld! With financial backing from Harry King, King of the Golden River and Moist von Lipwig, the Disc's wiliest civil servant, everyone and everything is on the move. A bid to get seafood that's still fresh spawns the tourist industry. But where there's change, there's people who don't want to change, and the budding rail has to fend off attacks of Deep Dwarves.
As a story alone, this is solid material, but Terry Pratchett remains one of the greatest living satirists. (He's also better than quite a few who are dead.) With Raising Steam, he looks at societal change driven by technology bringing people together. At the same time, it's an homage to rail culture, engineers and all the people who make the transportation industry go. It's also a blistering indictment of people who try to burn the world down rather than letting their neighbors move on with the times. "Tak does not require that we think of him, but he does require that we think."
At the same time, Raising Steam is also clearly the book of a man struggling with Alzheimer's. It remains a wonder that Pratchett can still write at all, much less as well as this. His earlier books may have been stronger (a few plot threads appear and vanish in Steam, never to be seen again), but it's still a gem. Written with the understanding that any book he turns out could be his last, he gives us a chance to check in with old friends throughout. The Discworld may be a long-running series, but every book stands alone while providing bonuses for the fans who have read the books that came before.
Raising Steam is a reminder that big things often start with little things. Here they start with a load of octopus on a midsummer's day.

Posted by Derek
I was telling a story the other day about using a reagent called PCC, pyridinium chlorochromate and yes, I'm a real laugh riot with these things, when it hit me: nobody much uses that stuff any more. Twenty, twenty-five years ago it was all over the place, and now it's slipping into history. I haven't used it myself in what - eight years or so. There are too many other reagents that do similar things and are easier to clean up (and that don't involve so much chromium waste).
Organic chemistry is littered with reactions that have been superseded. You don't see many Oppenauer oxidations these days ,for one. (I know that if you follow that link it gives you a 2002 reference. But it's for a reaction that about a dozen things would do just as easily, at least on a bench scale.) How about the Rosenmund reduction? Such things show up once in a while in carefully optimized process chemistry routes, but they're no longer part of anyone's normal tool kit. Does anyone use manganese dioxide much these days, or potassium permanganate? (That last one is a real loss, one of the most beautiful purples in all of chemistry - it and copper sulfate were my first loves when I got a chemistry set as an eight-year-old.)
But simultaneously, there are hundred-year-old reactions that are still getting up in the morning and going to work. Grignard reagents go back that far, and there's not an organic synthesis lab on Earth that doesn't use one once in a while. The Dieckmann condensation is still going strong, as is Fischer esterification. It would be worth knowing which category is better-remembered today: novels from the 1890s, or chemical reactions. . .

My transition from post-doc to industrial process development chymist occured in 1973. The changes I had to deal with were (a) going from the 500-cc 3-neck RBs to the 2000-4000 gallon Pfaudlers and (c) getting accustomed to thinking in terms of $ per unit of product. Oxidations and reductions are fundamentally simple processes when compared to C-C bond formation. The cost of Raney nickel and hydrogen was low compared to LiAlH4 (LAH), and safer when you think of what would be involved in the portionwise addition of 400 pounds of LAH to a 2000-gal reactor. I developed a process for a nitric acid oxidation using 5 percent of theory HNO3 and using oxygen to regenerate the acid...this is really cheap on a per-pound basis. Derek is correct about Grignard reagents...we developed processes for manufacture of all kinds of Grignard reagents in 2000 to 4000-gal vessels and sold these reagents on the open market. They're cheap and are efficient reagents for C-C bond formation. With respect to books from the 1890s, as industrial chemists we did make far more use of the old German literature than I ever did in grad school. They had a limited number of feedstocks to work with and I'm sure that many of the "name reactions" represent the inventor's ingenuity in manipulating these to a specific end.

or potassium permanganate?
As far as I know it's still used in modern protein-DNA footprinting assays. It preferentially oxidizes (unbound) thymidine bases.
3. Tom Bartlett on October 12, 2005 9:02 AM writes...
I'll take a Swern over Chromium most of the time. Swern's smell bad, but chromium is just plain nasty. But, I really think people are just doing fewer oxidations in Med Chem. Who's doing steroids these days? Now, it's all palladium coupling and the like.
4. Niels Hartog on October 12, 2005 10:07 AM writes...
or potassium permanganate?
Permanganate is used for the remediation of groundwater and soils polluted with organic contaminants. Especially used to clean up chlorinated solvents such as perchloroethylene due to its specifity for the double bond.

What I think is funny is how some named reactions have become "standard" knowledge. For instance, the Schotten-Bauman reaction...and the Finkelstein reaction.
6. J Suggs on October 12, 2005 12:49 PM writes...
Its nice to see science moving on. It is hard to see any simple functional group interchange reagent lasting more than a generation, although things that form new frameworks such as aldols and Diels Alders should endure.
Readers of this blog may appreciate the backstory of PCC. It was a pure accident. Jan Rocek had given a talk about chromium oxidations focusing on Cr(V) and EJ came up with the idea of trying out a Cr(V) species as an oxidant, since it is a two electron oxidant, matching the alcohol to aldehyde change. I found an old literature prep that involved bubbling HCl through a cold acetic acid solution of chromium trioxide (all you bench chemists can appreciate the fun that was). I isolated the pyridine salt and found the powder was a great oxidant (on small scales). When I had used almost all of it it, I tried a second prep, and being more careful, got the real Cr(V) oxidant this time, which was pretty useless (why I still dont know). Some very tense days followed until I looked at the UV of the first batch and decided it looked like Cr(VI), which led me to PCC. And the rest is a footnote to history (although another story I recall is how Alfred Bader complained he ruined some large scale equipment the first time his plant made a big batch of PCC, I guess the reactor he was using did not like the HCl-CrO3 combination). Bottom line is if you carry out three reactions a day, sooner or later something will work, as long as you keep your eyes open.
7. Derek Lowe on October 12, 2005 1:43 PM writes...
Well! I'm very glad to hear from Prof. Suggs himself. And I'm also glad to add to my list of discoveries that came about at least partly by accident, too.Back when I used a lot of PCC (mid-1980s), we used to make it fresh. Aldrich was selling it, but by the time we got it the reagent was often rather brownish, as opposed to the vivid yellow-orange of the fresh stuff.
8. Drew on October 12, 2005 2:16 PM writes...
I recently had the pleasure of a running a Wilgerodt-Kindler reaction (Chem Berichte, 1887, 20, 2467). Superb 19th century chemistry!
9. Mark on October 15, 2005 4:51 AM writes...
"Does anyone use manganese dioxide much these days, or potassium permanganate?"
Both are used extensively in clandestine hobbyist chemistry. As are many other superseded methods (usually because of limited accesibility to reagents).

Teen actor still going to Ojai public school
While most students attend class Friday and eagerly wait for the final bell and the beginning of their weekend, Nordhoff High School senior Gus Hoffman will be contemplating one thing: how to keep cool on national television while sitting among revered actors.
On Friday night, Hoffman will join veteran movie and television actors at the 41st NAACP Image Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Hoffman is nominated for his portrayal of a young Ben Carson in the TNT television movie "Gifted Hands," based on the true story of Carson's struggles to become a world-renowned neurosurgeon. Hoffman's competition includes Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr., who played the adult Ben Carson in the movie.
Unlike many other youth actors, however, Hoffman decided to build on that success by returning to the books full time.
"Filming 'Gifted Hands' was an amazing experience and we had an amazing cast and crew," Hoffman said. "I don't know why I was nominated, because I am always critiquing myself in everything I do. It's just an honor to be nominated."
Acting is nothing new for the 18-year-old. A professional actor since 13, Hoffman has had roles in various TV shows, including "Lincoln Heights," "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" and "ER," and has played opposite actors such as James Earl Jones in the 2008 movie "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins" and Martin Lawrence in the 2005 film "Rebound."
Hoffman spent most of his high school years on and off movie locations and TV sets, but he decided to put acting on the back burner and devote his senior year to being a full-time student at Ojai's public high school rather than finishing his education with a tutor or private school.
"I am 100 percent public school," Hoffman said. "If I went to private school, I honestly don't think I would be an actor. We were thinking of moving to Los Angeles or being home-schooled, but I just couldn't do it. I have a connection with friends that's too strong. I would never be able to do what I do without my friends."
Justin Shenkarow, a former child actor and the Screen Actors Guild's National Young Performers Committee chairman, said professional young actors who turn to public schools rather than tutors or private schools often benefit more from the experience.
"Being around kids your own age and being in various clubs can bring you so much perspective to life and learning and opens your eyes in ways you don't see in the acting world," Shenkarow said. "I tell them that having friends their own age, being in school and also joining various clubs is the best type of education you can get. It is so important and instrumental in creating the kind of person you will be. Acting is wonderful, but you never know if you want to be an adult actor."
Although SAG does not track how many of its 4,732 young performers attend private vs. public schools, spokeswoman Pamela Greenwalt said contracts provide for on-set supervision and instruction from a qualified teacher.
Hoffman said finishing his senior year in Ojai with friends was a goal he wanted to accomplish. He also tried out and won the post of drum major in Nordhoff's marching band.
His acting bug, however, is still thriving. Hoffman will take on the title role in this year's school musical, "The Music Man," which is set to open in March just in time for the school's centennial celebration.
Hoffman, who also aspires to be a director, said acting has its own rewards. "If I can see someone laugh, smile or cry ... and they are transported out of their reality, whether it be a harsh reality or not, and they say, 'Thank you' and they enjoyed it ... it leaves you with a sense of, 'I did well,' " he said.
Marty Babayco, who is directing Hoffman in "The Music Man," said his decision to fully commit to his last year at Nordhoff High shows his growth.
"There is a lot of maturity there in realizing that school and his friends are important to him," Babayco said. "It's difficult for a child actor to have a normal life, but his maturity to create a normal life and deciding to concentrate on school brings him that normalcy."
While still in shock about his NAACP nomination, Hoffman said leaving the glitz of Hollywood and returning to family in Ojai keeps him grounded and happy.
"Ojai is home," Hoffman said. "I have been friends with these people since the fourth grade. I love coming to work ... and I get to work with my best friends. It's just cool knowing you are a part of that family."

Competitive advantage: Why women make great leaders
With so many different approaches to leadership, there's another variable to add to the list -- whether you're a male or female also helps determine your management style. Susan Spencer, author of "Briefcase Essentials", says women have their own unique approach to leading in the workplace and have 12 natural leadership skills that emerge. "Women's skills are different than men's and when they work together [with men] they have a balanced leadership that benefits the entire organization," she says. Most successful organizations have a variety of leaders and leadership styles within the company -- including both male and female leaders can make it a stronger workplace.
Curious to know how women lead differently then men and why it's beneficial to have both types of leaders? Here, Spencer explains how female leadership styles differ from their male counterparts.
Leading instead of commanding
Female leaders are more concerned with helping everyone feel like a necessary part of the team rather than being the only ones at the helm. "Women do not manage by 'command and control' as men do," Spencer says. "They manage by embracing teamwork and building solid professional relationships with each member of the team." In a tough economic environment or when leading a company that's going through turbulent times, this quality can help employees feel like they are more connected to their workplace.
Communicating effectively
Much of the time running an organization or department requires stellar communication skills, something that many women have mastered, says Spencer who was once a general manager of the Philadelphia Eagles football team. "Women communicate with employees at all levels of an organization regardless of their pay grade," she says and adds that it contributes to a positive working environment. Having this free flow of conversations also helps keep employees on the same page and prevents isolation.
Acknowledging mistakes
Admitting your wrongs can be difficult for top managers but it can help subordinates relate to the boss and realize that he or she is only human. This is another positive trait. "Women leaders are not afraid to admit their mistakes," Spencer explains. "By being straightforward and forthcoming about accepting responsibility where it rightfully belongs, they earn the trust and loyalty of their employees or organization."
Leading with empathy
One of the most important traits of female employers is their ability to empathize with their employees, says Spencer. Especially when a company goes through challenging, leaner times women may be more understanding of the specific hurdles of their subordinates without simply dismissing them as unproductive employees. "They will be highly attuned to the problems of others and can put themselves in their shoes," she says. Using empathy to manage conflict between employees is also a key skill.
Another key characteristic of female leaders is the flexibility when making company decisions, Spencer points out. "Men think linearly and women think contextually," she says. This means that women have "the ability to consider multiple options to problem solve and arrive at a broadly analyzed problem." Contextual thinking results in a more thought-out process when making some company decisions and can lead to innovative solutions, she says.
Even as some companies realize these characteristics, many women still see huge barriers when trying to reach the highest positions in their firm and many still cannot land the same key roles as men. Women still get "pigeonholed into high end administrative tasks," Spencer says. At some companies, women are part of a broader stereotype of men being natural leaders and have a constant need to battle these misnomers, she explains. It's not all bad news: In the last 10 years things are changing, especially at the largest companies where mentoring and other programs are meant to provide a network for women looking to lead organizations.

Bringing a touch of the Ol' Irish to Highlands Ranch, Lansdowne Arms features an Irish-inspired menu with a modern flair. The spirited menu combines pub favorites such as sirloin shepherd's pie and fish and chips with American favorites such as prime rib, burgers, and salads.
The interiors warm the soul, with a cozy dining room looking out onto a stylish patio. A sweeping grand staircase leads the way to the upper level, home to a more casual pub environment – with a contemporary feel. For the more intimate affair, guests may reserve Lansdowne's intimate "Library" with its fireplace and warm furnishings.
It's about the food, but it's also about the fun. Lansdowne's namesake is the Lansdowne Road Stadium in Dublin, the oldest of the international rugby union ground hosting Ireland's matches since 1878. This Lansdowne is a perfect spot to catch the latest sports competition in the warm bar with an extensive wine list, spirits and 30 cask-conditioned beers on tap.
When the bright Colorado sun is shining, diners can take in the views of downtown and the Rocky Mountains from the main floor patio or the 3,000 square foot second floor deck complete with wrap-around seating and bistro tables, and accessorized with an oversized projection TV screen. On cooler Colorado evenings, a fire pit warms the outdoor space, making Lansdowne Arms a favorite year-round gathering place.
Lansdowne Arms is the perfect place for family celebrations, dates or dinner with friends or -- like the pubs of Ireland -- fun, frivolity and your favorite pint.
OPEN Tuesdays-Saturdays at 4pm & Sundays at Noon
for food, drinks & entertainment!

St Agnes and Chapel Porth
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Breathtaking coast, rich in heritage and wildlife
A vast low tide beach and a sea of glowing heather make it hard to believe this area was once an industrial landscape. The enigmatic buildings perched on the cliffs provide a reminder of St Agnes' tin and copper mining past.
Go for a stroll around the network of paths at Wheal Charlotte, Wheal Coates or Trevellas to discover more of this World Heritage Site.
St Agnes Beacon and the surrounding cliff tops are one of the last remnants of a huge tract of heathland which once spread across Cornwall. This rare and important habitat is internationally recognised for its wealth of wildlife, and from late summer onwards comes alive with colour, forming a brilliant yellow and purple patchwork of gorse and heather.

Phillies fall to Pirates 6-2, swept for 8th time
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Falling behind the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first inning of the first two games of the weekend series led to losses for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Scoring in the opening frame didn't help the sliding Phillies, either.
Pirates starter Jeff Locke got the best of his mentor A.J. Burnett on Sunday as Pittsburgh topped the Phillies 6-2 on Sunday. That finished the Pirates' first series sweep of the season and completed the eighth sweep against Philadelphia.
The Phillies struck first in the finale of the three-game series when Marlon Byrd drove Jimmy Rollins home from second base after he reached on a throwing error by Pedro Alvarez.
But Pittsburgh answered with two runs in the bottom of the first, and Philadelphia never led again.
"It was a tough first inning," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Getting two outs with no one on, then giving up three hits in a row."
Pittsburgh's pitching staff held the Phillies to six runs and 12 hits in the series, in which Philadelphia batted .135.
"I feel like we have a better offensive team than this but it hasn't played out over the course of the season," second baseman Chase Utley said. "We have some and too many not-so-good games."
Philadelphia is last in the NL East, 12 games behind first-place Atlanta.
Locke gave up just three hits and a walk in eight innings as he outdueled Burnett, his former neighbor in the Pittsburgh clubhouse.
"It didn't even feel like we were playing a Major League Baseball game," Locke said. "We spoke really briefly before we got in the bullpen, just told each other to have fun today, go get `em. Pound down."
Pittsburgh had failed to finish a sweep in eight previous tries this season.
"I didn't know we didn't have a sweep," Locke said. "It feels good, especially a team like those guys over there. Especially when (Marlon) Byrd and A.J. come back again."
The Pirates (47-41) moved a season-high six games over .500, while the Phillies (37-51) fell a season-high 14 games below .500.
Locke (2-1) gave up two runs – one earned – and struck out four. He has made six straight quality starts since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on June 8.
The left-hander worked mostly off of his fastball and changeup in an outing his manager Clint Hurdle called "fantastic."
In the home first, Andrew McCutchen beat out a ground ball to shortstop with two outs after Burnett struck out the Pirates' first two hitters. Neil Walker followed with a single.
Against his former batterymate, Pirates catcher Russell Martin hit a two-run double to right-center for a 2-1 advantage that wouldn't have been possible without McCutchen's hustle.
"That's my game," McCutchen said. "I go up, hit a ball on the ground, and I have an opportunity to do something with it. That's what I use my legs for and that's what I'm going to always be like."
The Pirates added another run in the third when Josh Harrison led off with a triple that split the gap in right-center. Harrison tagged from third on a shallow fly ball by Walker to center fielder Ben Revere and scored as Revere's throw came in offline.
Burnett (5-8) gave up three runs and five hits, walked two and struck out seven in seven innings in his return to Pittsburgh. The Pirates played a "Thank You A.J." video on the scoreboard when Burnett took the mound in the first inning.
"The video caught me by surprise," Burnett said. "I don't know what to say about it. It was very moving. It was very unexpected."
Byrd hit his 18th home run in the seventh inning to draw Philadelphia within 3-2.
Locke threw Byrd a changeup low and inside, which Byrd sent over the fence in left field.
"He got me," Locke said. "I got ahead of him, threw a changeup, and boom, he hit it. I knew it was a home run."
Byrd finished 2 for 4 with two RBIs and drove in half of the runs scored by the Phillies in Pittsburgh.
"He's been very steady for us," Sandberg said. "An everyday grinder who forces the chips in. He's been one of our consistent bats."
Harrison scored again in the eighth on a RBI triple by McCutchen, who was awarded third base because of fan interference following a crew chief review initiated by home plate umpire Dale Scott.
McCutchen then scored on a single by Starling Marte, and Jordy Mercer drove in another run with a sacrifice fly.
NOTES: Pedro Alvarez's throwing error was his 18th error of the season, which leads all major league players. … Pittsburgh RHP Charlie Morton (5-9, 3.30 ERA) will oppose St. Louis RHP Adam Wainwright (1-4, 1.89 ERA) on Monday when the teams begin a three-game series at Busch Stadium. … Philadelphia LHP Cole Hamels (2-5, 2.98 ERA) will face Milwaukee RHP Marco Estrada (7-5, 4.94 ERA) as the Phillies continue their road trip on Monday.

Sometimes a (name) change is good, as My Shower Door discovers
NORTH NAPLES - Bill Daubmann is still getting acclimated to the new name for his company.
My Shower Door, a Southwest Florida-based company specializing in the fabrication and installation of glass shower enclosures, had always operated under the moniker Mr. Shower Door. But last October, Daubmann received a notice that the family business could no longer use the name Mr. Shower Door because a licensing agreement with the parent company had ended and would not be renewed.
The owner of the Mr. Shower Door Inc., Tom Whitaker, had decided to go his own way.
"I never got a full explanation for why it wasn't renewed," said Daubmann, who owns three My Shower Door stores in Southwest Florida. "We had been the No. 1 performer for (Whitaker) since we first opened."
Daubmann made one last-ditch effort to hold onto brand the company had been built around. He flew to Connecticut and offered to buy the name Mr. Shower Door of Florida from Whitaker.
"He didn't want to sell that either, so it forced us into coming up with a new name," Daubmann said.
It was a decision the Daubmanns feared could dramatically hurt the business; the family knew picking a new name was high stakes. The Daubmanns had sold 16,000 shower doors since coming to Southwest Florida in 2003, and everywhere Bill Daubmann went, his customer's knew him as Mr. Shower Door.
It was a powerful brand.
"My parents were true entrepreneurs and risked everything they had to start the business out of their house," said Keith Daubmann, who runs the My Shower Door showroom in North Naples at Wiggins Pass Road and U.S. 41.
"They started cold-calling and knocking on doors 20 years ago, and it grew into a thriving business."
Everyone in the organization was tasked with coming up with ideas for names. They started with 100 and kept narrowing it down. Keith Daubmann remembered it as a painstaking process.
"We struggled to come up with names for months," he said. "We kept going back and forth with the same names. We were pounding our heads against the wall. Then, one day I was out playing golf, and a guy I was with said, 'I've got a great name for you, My Shower Door.'"
Keith brought back the idea to the rest of the family.
"We all looked at each other and said, 'Why didn't we think of that?' Bill Daubmann remembered.
Whitaker gave the Daubmanns until May 31 to remove anything with the word "Mr." The company had to buy new uniforms, business cards, letterheads and sales literature. The company trucks had to be stripped of the old logo, as did the signs on the building. The business also sent emails to existing clientele and called every one of their builders, remodelers and decorators.
Ultimately, swapping out one letter in the name cost the company $22,000.
"It was quite an expense, but we turned something negative into something positive. By not being so restrictive to follow the license it's allowed us to really grow and pursue whatever we want." Bill Daubmann said.
My Shower Door now has plans to open a new store in Tampa Bay, and the only glass fabricating and tempering facility in Southwest Florida in south Fort Myers by the end of the year.
"It's still a family business, we're in the same location we've always been. Our phone number stayed the same. All we did was change the 'r' to a 'y,' " Bill Daubmann said.
"We're in a great position to open more showrooms within Florida over the next two years as the business plan has been tested and proven in various markets."

AHS takes Odessa's best punches, drops Bronchos, 49-21
Abilene High made a successful return to the Little Southwest Conference, jumping to a big lead and holding off the Odessa High Bronchos 49-21 Friday in the District 3-5A opener for both teams.
Eagles running back Herschel Sims rushed for 113 yards and three touchdowns, while quarterback Ronnell Sims accounted for 246 total yards and three scores to lead AHS to a homecoming victory at Shotwell Stadium.
After AHS dropped two of its last three games in nondistrict play, coach Steve Warren said getting off to a winning start in district play was the most important thing Friday.
"To be 1-0 right now was our goal coming in," he said. "I don't care who you're playing. There are three of us that are 1-0 right now and it feels really good."
The Eagles (4-2 overall) scored on their first four possessions to take a 28-0 halftime lead, but the Bronchos (3-3) got going in the third quarter by putting running back Bradley Marquez at quarterback in an empty backfield. The gambit worked to the tune a two long TD runs by Marquez — 50 and 22 yards —to start the third quarter.
"We had to do something different," OHS coach Ron King said. "We looked at that during the bye week and we felt pretty comfortable sticking him back and forcing them to make some adjustments. He was able to throw the ball (completing 5-of-8 attempts for 52 yards). They couldn't just sit there on the run."
Marquez finished with 155 yards on 23 carries, while Johnny Campos accounted for 193 all-purpose yards as a quarterback and receiver. Campos had the Bronchos' third score with a 17-yard run in the third quarter.
Warren expected OHS to do different things. That included Campos moving from receiver to quarterback in place of Ryan Rios, who started the first five games, but it was Marquez who was the focal point.
"They answered the bell," Warren said of the Bronchos. "You've got to give them credit. We knew they'd come out swinging. There were a lot of little things in the first half, too, that our defense had not seen from them at all. I thought we played a whale of a game defensively."
The tide turned back the Eagles' way with four interceptions, three of them in the fourth quarter. Thefts by Darius Joseph, who had two for the game along with 12 tackles, and Jake Brooks allowed AHS to score twice in 41 seconds early in the quarter. Mitchell Golden had the Eagles' fourth pick in the final minute.
"I'm just happy to be back on the field, no matter what they ask me to do, whether it's play defense or offense," said Joseph, who also had two receptions for 32 yards and a 33-yard kickoff return. "If they ask me to make plays, I'm there to make plays. I missed most of last season and I'm just so happy to be on the field.
"Getting the picks, tonight that was my (way to) shine other than me scoring on offense, which I didn't get to do. If they ask me to get on defense and make plays, that's what I'm going to do."
Herschel Sims scored on runs of 5, 44 and 6 yards, finishing with more yards than he had in his last three games combined as he battled a shoulder injury.
Ronnell Sims, who also was named homecoming king (Amy White was crowned homecoming queen), was 14-of-17 passing for 198 yards with TDs of 29 yards to Jeret Smith and 9 yards to Jacob Martinez. Sims also rushed for 48 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown.
Tony Smith capped the night with a 1-yard TD run as AHS totaled 398 yards of offense to Odessa High's 360.
"The offense came out and did what we needed to do," Herschel Sims said. "The defense came out fired up.
"Our offense is starting to click, but the second half the first two possessions we went three-and-out. We've just got to stay consistent. That's something we've got to work on this next week in practice, but we know what we're capable of doing and we're going to do it throughout district."
Odessa High failed to convert on several chances in the first half, turning the ball over on downs at the AHS 29 and having another drive inside the 30 end with Joseph's first interception.
After Marquez got the Bronchos back in the game, Joseph and Brooks took them out of it with interceptions on consecutive OHS plays. Joseph's resulted in Herschel Sims' third TD with 10:54 to go in the game and Brooks' led to Martinez's score with 10:13 to go.

Recording Equipment
Wednesday, March 18, 2009
During my workshop in the fall of 2004, we got microphones I thought resembled giant lollipops. I was always afraid I'd stick its head near the interviewee's mouth too fast and vigorously causing a bruised lip or a chipped tooth. I'd have to plead for mercy in an emergency room amidst wailing ambulance sirens and explain that I was only trying to complete an assignment for my radio workshop. Thankfully, this never happened.
The Real Hip Hop
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
When Kaari, Sanda and I walk into the Next Generation Center, the home of our current Bronx workshop, it's like walking into a house party. Hip hop and rap deejayed by kids from the center thumps just a little too loud. I keep thinking some adult is going to put the kabosh on this, but they don't seem phased.
Touring the Neighborhood
Saturday, March 07, 2009
As the new Rookies intern (and former Rookie myself) I had the pleasure of accompanying AJ, Keith and Courtney for a small tour of the neighborhood. We walked down 172nd street away from the elevated 5 & 2 train lines in search of possible interviewees.
It's Tough To Find a Story Idea
Thursday, February 26, 2009
Defining a great story or angle for a topic is one of the trickiest moments in the Radio Rookies workshop. The Rookie has to find a story idea that will capture her attention for six months, a topic that will have meaning to a greater audience. Sometimes the perfect story idea jumps out during the first day of workshop, but usually the process takes building trust, several conversations, and reflection to find the perfect story idea.
A Cold Night to Leave the Bronx
Thursday, February 26, 2009
Last night was the kind of evening when most people want to curl up under a blanket watch the latest episode of 106 & Park or 30 Rock. With temperatures in the lower teens, I wondered how many of the new Radio Rookies would make the 1.5 hour trek from their neighborhood down to Soho to visit WNYC Radio for the first time.

NEW COMMON CORE LESSON: The Free Exercise of Religion in America
When, if ever, may the government limit freedom of religion? The Supreme Court and Congress have grappled with this question.
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution begins with what are known as the religion clauses: "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . . ." Note that initially the First Amendment only limited the actions of Congress, our national legislature, but not the governments of any of the states. That came later more. . .

'Music Keeps Them Going': Haitians in Brooklyn Keep Tradition Alive
New York, NY —
For almost two decades, a group of Haitians and Haitian-Americans in Brooklyn have been keeping an important musical tradition alive. RaRa is Haitian "street music" that has roots in African spiritual traditions. The Brooklyn-based band DjaRara are the most well-known ambassadors of RARA in New York. This week, they came together with renewed purpose and penned a new song about the devastation in their homeland.
There are about 15 members of DjaRara, and every single person lost someone in the earthquake. Lex Barbot has been managing the band for three years.
"We're still in shock," he says. "It's plain and simple. We're still in shock. Every day we get news, its bad news. We get some good news, but a lot of bad news."
On this night, the members of the group are filtering in to a rehearsal space in Crown Heights that doubles as an art gallery during the day. When it's time to warm up, out come the traditional rara instruments -- a half-dozen metal horns of different sizes called called konet, trumpets fashioned from a hollowed-out bamboo tube with a mouthpiece at one end, cymbals, and of course, the drums.
Members of Haitian band Djarara rehearse on cylindrical bamboo trumpets called banbou or vaksin.
The band leader is called Maestro Joujou. His son's mother was killed in the quake, and last week he composed a song about the tragedy in just a few days. The Creole title translates to "mercy" -- mercy for Haiti.
"This song is for the children that lost their family -- their mom, their pops," Joujou says. "We just tell them courage. It also is about the people who are missing, who died. Our culture is destroyed. It's destroyed."
"Our people have been suffering for so long," the song says. "We don't deserve it/ Still today our blood is shedding/ We are standing strong/ January 12th, 2010, we will never forget."
"When you're hungry what do you do? You sing," says B Max, one of the younger members of the group. He's been watching the coverage of Haiti on television, and he's seen people singing rara even among the devastation there.
"You see despair and so forth, but at the same time you see them doing a form of rara.… When you see 100 or 200 people in the street singing, that's a form of rara. There are no instruments, but that's what they're doing. Music keeps them going. Singing it keeps them going."
Djarara band members warm up before rehearsal in Crown Heights.
The musicians in DjaRara feel a special connection to the town of Leogane in Haiti, about 20 miles west of Port-au-Prince. It was known as the capital of Rara culture and a lot of the best musicians and bands came from Leogane. To get a sense of it, think about the importance of New Orleans to jazz music. After the earthquake, most of the city lies in ruins. Lex Barbot says that the band will do all it can to help.
"We're looking into how we can donate whatever we can get as far as instruments –- as just a way to participate in keeping the culture alive," he says.
Yves Bien Amie, one of the original founders of Djarara, calls rara music his "therapy" and says he's hopeful about the future.
"Haiti will get better," Bien Amie says. "We are searching for a better Haiti, when Haitians will be proud again, when the kids will have access to education and many better things. Because my people are very resilient. I know one day Haiti will be the Haiti its supposed to be.

There's an Austrian Empress who used to spend an entire day soaking her floor-length hair in a bath of milk and eggs. Catherine Zeta-Jones swears by conditioning her hair with beer. Lately, oils are called hair cure-alls, helping with length, shine, and even the strength of your locks. But what really works? We asked one of Hollywood's best-loved colorists, Tracey Cunningham, to weigh in on ten urban hair myths. Find out what the woman responsible for Gwyneth, Cate, and Drew's color says really matters.
Fact or Fiction: 10 Hair Myths Debunked
- 1 of 20
Beer makes your hair shiny.
- 2 of 20
Cunningham suggests reaching for a lager. "The richness will help," she says. "It has a bunch of natural proteins and vitamins so the hair will cling to the conditioning elements much better. Maybe your significant other will like it too!"
Pick up a six pack of Guiness Draught ($10) next time you're at the grocery store and pour a bottle over damp, freshly-washed hair (skip conditioner). Let it sit for a minute or two before rinsing out with warm water. Style as usual.
- 3 of 20
There's no difference between a straw and cotton hat when it comes to protecting my hair from the sun.
- 4 of 20
"I think it depends more on the width of the brim," Cunningham says. "Both are breathable natural materials."
- 5 of 20
Baking soda removes build-up just as effectively as a fancy clarifying shampoo.
- 6 of 20
Looking for an alternative use for baking soda? Put it in the fridge to absorb any funky smells.
- 7 of 20
Conditioning hair with eggs will make it stronger.
- 8 of 20
But egg whites do make a great face mask!
- 9 of 20
The more I trim my hair, the faster it will grow.
- 10 of 20
But regularly caring for split ends—whether via trim or moisture mask—will make your hair looks significantly healthier.
- 11 of 20
Purple shampoo won't do anything for blonde highlights.
- 12 of 20
Any bit of blonde in your hair will benefit from the toning effects of purple shampoo. Try Clairol's Shimmer Lights Original Conditioning Shampoo ($9).
- 13 of 20
Pre-natal vitamins will make my hair grow super long, super fast.
- 14 of 20
Cunningham says this is the truest statement on our list! "Hair, nails, skin—it helps all of them—but consult your doctor first!"
Once you do, we love NatureMade's Prenatal Multi + DHA Liquid Softgels ($19).
- 15 of 20
If I run out of deep conditioner, maple syrup is just as hydrating.
- 16 of 20
A great moisture mask is worth the investment. Try Pantene Pro-V 2 Minute Moisture Masque ($8) or Shu Uemura's Art of Hair Moisture Velvet Nourishing Treatment ($68).
- 17 of 20
Rinsing with apple cider vinegar will cure dandruff.
- 18 of 20
Anti-dandruff shampoos can be pretty harsh on your scalp (not to mention color), but Cunnigham calls apple cider vinegar "the perfect natural rememdy."
Pictured, Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar ($5).
- 19 of 20
Sleeping with olive oil in my hair will make everything about it better.
- 20 of 20
Olive oil will make your hair softer, stronger, and significantly shinier. Cunnigham recommends warming the oil before putting it on dry hair or, if you want to soak your damp locks, wrapping a hot towel around your head after applying the oil. Heat helps the oil penetrate the cuticle.
Pictured, Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil ($33).

SFA Announces Early Signing Class
Nov. 16, 2010
NACOGDOCHES, Texas - The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjack basketball team announced Tuesday that four players signed letters of intent during the early signing period to attend SFA starting with the 2011-12 academic year. The early signing class consists of Taylor Smith, Jacob Parker, Thomas Walkup and Nick Cates.
Parker, Walkup and Cates are all prep recruits, while Smith is a transfer sign from McLennan Community College. His addition marks the Lumberjacks' fifth McLennan signee in the last four years.
"We think it's a very good group," head coach Danny Kaspar said. "I'm very pleased with it. It takes great focus and mental toughness to succeed at this level, and I think we got that with this group."
Smith is a 6-6 forward who will come in as a junior after two seasons at McLennan. As a freshman last year, he played in all 32 contests averaging 10.6 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game. Smith was named the North Texas Junior College Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, making him the third McLennan signee to have won the league's defensive award before joining the Lumberjacks.
A Schertz, Texas, native, Smith was an all-state honoree at Clemens High. He averaged 19 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks for his career, picking up two all-district honors and an all-region selection.
"Taylor is a tremendous rebounder and shot-blocker," Kaspar said. "He has very long arms and plays bigger than his frame. He should make an immediate impact on our team next year."
Parker is a 6-6 forward from Bixby, Okla. He averaged a team-best 19 points per game and pulled down 10 rebounds per contest last year when he was an honorable-mention all-state selection. Parker was also named to the All-Metro second team. He was voted team captain for the 2009-10 season and earned the team's MVP award as well.
"Jacob is a power forward much in the mold of [former Lumberjack] Nick Shaw," Kaspar said. "He shoots, passes and handles the ball very well for a taller player. Fortunately, we stumbled across him during the summer evaluation period and immediately decided this was a young man we should try to recruit. We are extremely happy that he chose us over Air Force, Lafayette and Tulsa, among others."
Walkup is a 6-4 shooting guard from Pasadena, Texas. Last year he averaged 10.1 points and 4.6 assists to help lead Deer Park High School to a 24-11 record and a win in the bi-district round of the playoffs. Walkup also averaged five blocks and 1.9 steals per contest on the way to all-district honors. Thomas' older brother, Nathan, plays basketball at Texas A&M.
"Thomas does everything well," Kaspar said. "He shoots, passes, handles and defends well. He is a very hard-nosed and competitive player who exudes toughness. I see him as my type of player who will fit in very well here at SFA."
Cates is a 6-9 center from Kennedale, Texas. He was a first-team all-district selection as a junior last year, also taking the team's defensive player of the year award. He set a school record with 14 blocked shots in a playoff game. Cates helped Kennedale set a team record last year by holding its opponents to an average of just 47 points per game.
"We were very fortunate to discover Nick in that he did not play summer league ball," Kaspar said. "He has a lot of potential, much like [former Lumberjack] Matt Kingsley did. He will be a legitimate center prospect for us. He's very coachable and has great potential. He already wears a size 17 shoe and won't turn 18 until August, so I think he could still grow a little bit. We welcome his size and potential to our program."
