"My fiancée actually picked this design for our save the dates! I wasn't sold on it at first, but it was his favorite, and after we personalized it and made it look exactly how we wanted it to, I started to love it. Once they arrived in the mail, I was so impressed with the quality and how cute they turned out! I'm definitely glad we chose this design, and that we were able to do some things to make it our own. We will absolutely be returning to personalize and purchase formal invitations!"
"I absolutely loved the save the dates. They showed up a week early. They're very thick and durable, surprisingly much so even. They just look fantastic; absolutely beautiful!! :D"
"My fiancé and I were so excited to order this particular design for our save the dates! The picture we chose, and the customized color for the background went PERFECTLY!!! I loved how great the customer service was with the order (we were able to approve the design first, as well as increase our order count without being charged for a second order!), and we received the order super fast!!!! I would highly recommend not only this design, but this company!!!"
"I designed my save the dates for my south Carolina wedding and ordered them. The cane a lot sooner than exaoected and were wonderful :)"

Sep 13, 2013 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorRiverton will be the site of the 2014 Wyoming Girls Fastpitch Softball Tournament.
The tournament is set for July 10-13 at the Honeycutt Softball Complex.
The event could bring 30 to 45 teams to Riverton. Tournament officials are expecting about 500 players.
"The state tournament will be a big economic boost to the city," Riverton fastpitch president Mark Stone said. "The tournament will give the citizens of Riverton a chance to see the best softball teams in Wyoming compete against each other."
The tournament will consist of a recreation division and a Class B division.
The age groups are Under 10, U12, U14, U16 and the U18.
"This tournament could help both the Riverton and Lander programs," Stone said. "In order to have a successful summer league, some participation in travel team competitive softball is important. Hopefully by hosting this tournament locally we will be represented in each age division by a traveling team."
Stone said his wife, Danette Stone, was key to the tournament bid.
"She has helped me with our summer tournament and knows we will put on a great tournament in Riverton for the state," Mark Stone said.
The last two state tournaments in Riverton were held in 2000 and 1995.
"We will have to get the complex in great shape for the tournament," Stone said. "We will also have to ask Riverton Little League if we can use three of their fields as well. We will need to do some work on our infields and outfields to make sure they are in the best shape they can be in."
The tournament will field approximately 120 games scheduled on six or seven fields over a three-day span.
"The potential to the Riverton and Lander programs is huge," Stone said. "I just hope we have some coaches step forward and coach some local teams to get them ready to play in this tournament. It will be so important for the young ladies who want to play competitive softball."
Casper tournament
Stone brought a group of Riverton High School aged players to a Casper tournament last Saturday and Sunday and went 1-5.
The win for the Riverton team was a 9-8 victory over the Gillette junior varsity squad.
Riverton lost to Casper (18-10), Cheyenne (13-3), Rock Springs (13-3), Gillette (15-1) and the Casper JV (16-14).
"The Gillette game was the best one we had played all fall," Stone said. "We got the lead and kept it."
Maddi Nipper got the win for Riverton on the mound.
"I saw a lot of improvement in our hitting over the weekend," Stone said. "Our young players are starting to see the ball better and put a lot of balls in play."

HIV and AIDS
Risk Of An HIV Positive Man Having Children?
What are the risks related to the situation of an HIV positive man who wants to have a child? Is there a way to do this without putting the child and its mother at significant risk?
That is a very interesting question, and one that I think will be asked more and more frequently in the future as people with HIV do better and live longer because of improvements in medical therapy. As I understand the issue, infectious HIV viral components are found in the seminal fluid, NOT the sperm. Of course you only need the uninfected sperm, and a willing female partner (or surrogate, etc.). Fertility clinics that deal with artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization are capable of "washing" the sperm of MOST of the seminal fluid and therefore, at least theoretically, would be capable of helping you with your desired goal. The difficult part here is that MOST is not the same as ALL. And so there would still be some risk (although a greatly reduced one) that a woman artificially inseminated with such washed sperm could become HIV infected, as well as then possibly the resulting child. I`m not sure it`s possible to estimate the risk in terms of a percentage since I don`t think it`s been done very often. Fertilization outside the womb with subsequent implantation into the uterus, I would think, would involve the least risk of all. You might want to contact such a fertility clinic or sperm bank in your area to discuss this further if you are interested. You should also know that each office or operation sets its own guidelines or ethics for what it will and won`t do -- there is little standardization or consensus on these matters.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/1/2013 (1690 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
One of the city's most distinctive condominium projects -- it looks like a giant spaceship hovering four storeys above the ground -- is nearly ready for liftoff.
Winnipeg's Green Seed Development Corp. has secured the financing for the project after pre-selling half the 40 units in the $6-million complex, company president Mark Penner said in an interview.
"So 62 McDonald will be built," Penner said, adding all that's needed now is the building permit from the city. And the project's architect -- 5468796 Architecture Inc. -- hopes to have that in time to begin construction in the spring.
"We're working on the construction drawings... and discussions have started already with the city's planning department," said Johanna Hurme, a partner in 5468796 Architecture.
The project is called 62M after the address where it will be built. The property is at the corner of McDonald Avenue and Waterfront Drive, next to the Disraeli Freeway/Overpass.
The building will be circular in shape, two storeys high, and will sit on a pedestal 11 metres above the ground. There will be 20 condos per floor, each 608 square feet in size. They will all be wedge-shaped, with a seven-metre-wide, floor-to-ceiling wall of windows.
Hurme said they went with a circular design and pie-shaped units to create a more efficient floor plan. And the building is elevated to provide an obstruction-free view in all directions.
"Those two decisions are really what drove the design. We often get misrepresented as wanting to just do something that's cool," she said. "But at the same time, it (the design) is very rational."
Penner said the units are priced between $195,000 and $215,000, depending on the view. The buyers so far have ranged from first-time homeowners who plan to live there to older investors who are buying a unit with the intention of renting it out. He said the complex is expected to take about a year to build, so if construction begins this spring, it should be ready for occupancy in the spring of 2014.
A little farther south on Waterfront Drive, Phase I of M2 Engineering's two-phase H2O residential development is already well underway, with the first 43-unit building expected to be completed by May or June.
M2 Engineering owner Michael Mark said Phase II, which also consists of one 43-unit building, should be completed about a year after that.
The one- and two-bedroom units were originally going to be condos. But after Phase I sales got off to a slow start, Mark decided to make them all rental apartments.
The apartments, which include 77 two-bedroom and nine one-bedroom units, will range in size from 725 square feet to 1,000 square feet. Mark said monthly rents will be $1,100 to $1,800.

It's official -- Milestones Grill and Bar will be the anchor restaurant tenant in the 311 Portage Avenue at Centrepoint development.
Michelle Constant, vice-president of retail leasing with the Winnipeg office of Cushman & Wakefield, has confirmed an earlier Free Press report that said the Ontario-based Milestones chain and a new restaurant concept by local Pizzeria Gusto owner Bobby Mottola were expected to be the main-floor tenants in the highrise office/retail/hotel tower under construction at the corner of Portage and Donald Street.
Constant, who is the leasing agent for the retail space in the $75-million Longboat Development Corp./Artis Real Estate Investment Trust development, said the Milestones casual fine dining outlet will be more than 9,000 square feet in size, and will face onto Portage.
"For a restaurant, that's very big. That's bigger than an Earl's or a Moxie's," she said. "This will be their flagship store in Winnipeg."
Constant said there were "multiple offers" for the space.
"They were all strong players. We also had people from Calgary and Edmonton."
Two reasons they opted for Milestones were that it was willing to take all 9,000-plus square feet of Portage Avenue space, and it was new to Winnipeg.
"For us, it was important to look for a concept that wasn't anywhere else in the city, because it then becomes a destination for all of Winnipeg."
Constant also noted the Milestones chain is owned by Cara Operations, which also owns the Harvey's, Montana's and Kelsey's restaurant chains. "So they're an organization that is very familiar with the Winnipeg market, which for us, was good."
Constant said Mottola's new 3,900-square-foot restaurant is an Asian/Latin-fusion concept and will face onto Donald Street. It will also be a first for the city, she added.
She said both restaurants are expected to open at the same time as the tower. Longboat president Scott Stephanson said that should be in September 2014.
Stephanson said the foundation for the tower, which will include a 14-storey Alt Hotel built on top of a five-storey office/retail complex, has been completed. The precast walls should start going up within the next couple of weeks, he added.

Body scanner trial begins at Northern Ireland prison in September
Body scanning trials will begin at Magilligan Prison in County Londonderry next month, the Northern Ireland Prison Service (NIPS) has confirmed.
The trial will involve the use of millimetre wave scanning equipment to combat the smuggling of banned items.
The scanners, which could provide an alternative to full-body searching, will also be tested at Hydebank Wood Young Offenders Centre from October.
Dissident republican prisoners have protested against full-body searches.
More than 20 inmates at Maghaberry Prison in County Antrim have been involved in the dirty protest, smearing excrement on walls and floors of their cells.
Last year, a review of NIPS, led by Dame Anne Owers, recommended that the service try to find "an effective and less intrusive method than full body-searching".
Millimetre wave scanning does not use X-rays.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) said the technology is "similar to that which is currently in use at airports and train stations throughout UK, Europe and USA".
It described it as "a non-intrusive body searching process using non-ionising radio waves from which there are no known health risks".
On Wednesday, Justice Minister David Ford welcomed the body scanner trial as "another significant step forward within the prison reform agenda".
The minister said his department had been actively working on an alternative to full body searching, which he described as "not ideal, whether for prison officers or prisoners".
"Unfortunately, a number of practical and logistical matters have taken longer to resolve than was originally anticipated," Mr Ford said.
He added: It is important to recognise that progress cannot be made at the expense of prison security and the pilots will test whether the technology can offer the same, or even enhanced, safeguards as those provided through the current procedure of full body searching.
NIPS Director General, Sue McAllister, said: "In line with recommendation eight of Dame Anne Owers' report the Prison Service has been exploring a range of technological options as a possible alternative to full body searching.
She added: "A pilot scheme at Magilligan Prison will commence following the installation of equipment and staff training which are planned for late September.
"A second pilot scheme at Hydebank Wood will commence in mid October."

I may have mentioned in passing that my oldest daughter is a Girl Scout. They just got done with the annual cookie sales campaign, and she outsold everyone in her troop by a long shot. She accounted for almost half her troop's entire sales, and did it by going out nearly every afternoon after school and on the weekends. Her troop was supposed to be working really had to earn money for a big outing they have planned later in the spring.
Through her own hard work, she earned enough to pay for the trip, including lodging, transportation, etc. The thing is, she doesn't get to keep what she earned. The communists are going to make sure everyone gets their "fair" share, and so the lazy kids that didn't have the initiative or work ethic to sell aggressively will benefit from her labor.
She was almost in tears when she was informed that all the hard work she put into sales was going to be redistributed to the kids that didn't work as hard as she did. "That's not fair!" she said. As a result of this little communist farce, two things are going to happen.
The first is that she and her mother are going to have to find another way to make money, one where she actually gets to keep the money she needs to pay for her trip.
The second is her decision to stop devoting so much time and effort to a serially unfair enterprise. She's already announced that she's not going to put in the effort to next year's cookie sales, so you can expect the troop's overall sales output to plummet.
I'd like to thank the Girls Scouts for this life lesson. Only 12, my daughter has learned about the brutal unfairness of socialist economics, and now knows firsthand why hard-working people who want to keep the fruits of their own hard work abandon a system where those that do so little of the work end up reaping so many of the benefits they didn't earn.
She's a hardcore capitalist now, all thanks to the Girl Scouts. What am awesome, if serially unfair lesson.

The NYT had a mostly anecdotal piece this past weekend about how more people of the "iPod generation" are suddenly buying turntables and vinyl records. I don't know if I am demographically part of this generation, but I can relate—I've been reacquiring albums I used to have in an effort to recapture the listening experiences of my youth, in which an entire side of a record would get digested in the full flush of analog warmth.
Interest from younger listeners is what convinced music industry executives that vinyl had staying power this time around. As more record labels added vinyl versions of new releases, the industry had to scramble to find places to press discs, said Mike Jbara, president and chief executive of the sales and distribution division of Warner Music Group.
"It is absolutely easy to say vinyl doesn't make sense when you look at convenience, portability, all those things," Mr. Jbara said. "But all the really great stuff in our lives comes from a root of passion or love."
It makes sense for music companies to push vinyl since they have no choice but try to reorient consumers to the meaningfulness of physical objects. So it is hard to take Jbara seriously here as he spouts marketing propaganda. Nevertheless I think listening to records is appealing at this moment precisely because it is inconvenient, and maybe inconvenience is, as Jbara suggests, part of the essence of love. Overcoming obstacles is a feature, not a bug, as they say.It brings weight to the experience, makes it contrast with all the experiences that commercial culture has made easy (which in turn makes us consumers passive).
Yeats's "The Fascination of What's Difficult" seems relevant here. He seems to be arguing the opposite:
The fascination of what's difficult
Has dried the sap out of my veins, and rent
Spontaneous joy and natural content
Out of my heart.
It's the myth of "spontaneous joy" and "natural content" that has ushered in the "iPod Generation" and its peculiar restlessness, its voracious, overstimulated cultural appetite, its demand for instantaneous distraction. The absence of "natural content"—the fact that satisfying oneself requires effort—opens the possibility of substituting novelty for deeper satisfactions. When something doesn't spontaneously please us, we are invited to think the solution is to try something different, not work at the "difficult" thing that has failed us. The vinyl fascination may be the stirrings of a counter-movement that fetishizes difficulty as a way of fixing value, as measured in attention and consumption effort rather than ease and monetary cost.
Or perhaps it is just an expression of a nostalgia for material souvenirs of our taste. Records are a way to make my musical taste seem more substantial to me—see, these are the albums I really care about, the ones I like so much, I listen to them on vinyl. On my computer, I have everything, so none of it will seem like it is special to me. The record collection is different; it requires sacrifices. Vinyl is the new way to signify that you are "serious about music," since having access to lots of songs and being familiar with lots of different stuff no longer suffices.
One thing I have learned in my return to vinyl is that records that skip are not endearing; they are totally annoying. And it doesn't take very much to induce a record to start skipping.

Tidal energy is used to supply power plants with electricity. Tidal energy harnesses the power of water and the ocean in various ways. Very few commercial plants exist as tidal energy is still not widely in use.Continue Reading
Tidal energy has been used for centuries to turn waterwheels that give mechanical power to grain mills but the first large-scale, commercial tidal power plant was not built until 1966 in La Rance, France. The largest tidal power station is in South Korea.
There are three methods by which to acquire tidal energy: tidal streams, lagoons and barrages. For the first, a turbine is placed into a fast-flowing body of water created by the tide known as a tidal stream. The second, lagoons, requires the construction of a tidal lagoon. Built along the natural coastline, these can be man-made or natural structures of partially enclosed ocean water. This particular model has no functional examples yet but would have the least impact on the environment out of the three.
Barrages are essentially large dams built across tidal rivers, bays and estuaries. This works in much the same way as a river dam by opening gates as the tide rises and then shutting them as the tide goes out. This creates a pool of water that is then released through the turbines creating energy.Learn more about Tides

NEW HAVEN, Conn. and ST. LOUIS, March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- An agreement between Genaissance Pharmaceuticals, Inc. , Monsanto Company and the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the chief scientific research agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), is expected to provide U.S. soybean plant breeders with new technology for more accurate and efficient plant breeding research.
The project's intent is to map single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) DNA markers in soybeans, creating a detailed molecular genetic map of the soybean that includes a large number of SNP DNA markers along with pre-existing SSR (simple sequence repeat) markers. In addition, all of the map position information and use of soybean SNP markers covered by the agreement will be freely available to all U.S. soy breeders and geneticists, creating the first publicly available map of its kind.
A SNP is a specific location along a chromosome where there is a variation in the genetic sequence. This variation can be used as a genetic marker. Scientists often use genetic markers as a tag to identify the specific location of a genetic trait on a chromosome. By tagging the desired trait, plant breeders can breed plants more efficiently and more accurately.
"Monsanto is proud to be a part of this important research initiative," said Monsanto's Global Genotyping Lead Robert Reiter. "We hope that our work with Genaissance and the USDA will lead to a better understanding of the soybean, and help develop ways to deliver improved soybean varieties faster and more efficiently, putting new technology into the hands of public soy researchers."
The collaborators plan to make the information available in Soybase, the USDA Soybean Genome Database, and dbSNP, the National Center for Biotechnology Information SNP database, as well as publish the information in scientific journals, so plant breeders have access to the important data.
The SNPs that are being mapped were discovered at the USDA, ARS Beltsville, Md., with support from the United Soybean Board.
"Because all of the SNPs are located in genes, the result of the work will be a genetic map that defines 'gene-rich regions' of the soybean genome," said Perry Cregan, USDA-ARS researcher. "It is the gene-containing regions that are of greatest interest to soybean breeders and geneticists who want to develop genetically superior soybean varieties with enhanced seed quality, greater disease resistance, and superior drought tolerance and yield."
"What we learn from this research will be critical in our search for additional insights into ways to improve the characteristics, production rates, and disease resistance of a variety of field crops, including soybeans, and other plant species," said Gerald F. Vovis, Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Genaissance Pharmaceuticals.
ARS scientists in Beltsville, Maryland, discovered the soybean SNPs and saw value for public researchers in having the SNPs mapped. As part of the agreement, Monsanto will provide funding to support the mapping, which Genaissance will perform, given its expertise as a SNP genotyping services provider.
Today's announcement builds on previous announcements that target public sector research.
Genaissance Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is developing innovative products based on its proprietary pharmacogenomic technology and has a revenue-generating business in DNA and pharmacogenomic products and services. Genaissance also markets its proprietary FAMILION(TM) Test, designed to detect mutations responsible for causing Familial Long QT and Brugada Syndromes, two causes of sudden cardiac death. The company's product development strategy is focused on drug candidates with promising clinical profiles and finding genetic markers to identify a responsive patient population. This strategy enables Genaissance to leverage existing clinical data and, thus, reduce the costs and risks associated with traditional drug development and increase the probability of clinical success and commercialization.

Monsanto Company is a leading global provider of technology-based solutions and agricultural products that improve farm productivity and food quality. For more information on Monsanto, see: http://www.monsanto.com/ .
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements about the expected growth and development of Genaissance's business, such as Genaissance's ability to detect associations between clinical outcomes and genetic variation, the ability to assess how genetic variation can affect drug response, efforts to build a drug candidate pipeline, the timing and outcome of its genetic testing programs, the timing of its ability to enter into drug development collaborations with pharmaceutical companies, the ability of Genaissance to apply its technologies to the development, marketing and prescribing of drugs and Genaissance's ability to detect associations between clinical outcomes and genetic variation. Such statements are subject to certain factors, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, events and performance to differ materially from those referred to in such statements, including, but not limited to, the extent to which genetic markers (haplotypes) are predictive of clinical outcomes and drug efficacy and safety, the attraction of new business and strategic partners, the adoption of our technologies by the pharmaceutical industry, the acceptance of our cardiac tests by health care providers, the timing and success of clinical trials, competition from pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostics companies, the strength of our intellectual property rights and those risks identified in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 2004, and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

Musical comedy about nuns becomes habit in sequel
FUN nuns ready to stun are back on the Limelight Theatre stage this June in a sequel to their first musical comedy.
Written by Dan Goggin, Nunsense II: The Second Coming takes place six weeks after the sisters have staged their first benefit concert.
Bitten by the theatre bug, the nuns are slicker performers and present a thank you show for people who have supported them in the past.
Things get off to a rousing start but chaos soon erupts when Sister Mary Amnesia wins the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes and holds a riotous bingo game while the nuns believe a talent scout may also be in the audience.
Director Karen Tropiano said although Nunsense II: The Second Coming is a sequel, people don't need to have seen the original to get the gist of the show.
"I directed Nunsense in 2009 and it was a resounding success," she said [the show was runner-up for best musical at the annual Finley Awards and best production at the yearly Limelight Theatre awards]. "I have always wanted to do the sequel and am thrilled to be directing it.
"I'm lucky to have tracked down the original cast – they're ecstatic about dusting off their habits and performing the same characters in a new story.
"I also have the same musical director, choreographer and lighting operator, who are all as enthusiastic as the cast.
"The camaraderie was fantastic the first time around and even better this time with all of us having a ball."
Tropiano describes Nunsense II: The Second Coming as a musical "full of fun and hilarity" with five nuns entertaining in their individual ways.
"There are a few surprises in store because audience participation is an imperative part of the show," she said.
Performing with Limelight and Stirling Theatres for more than 20 years, Tropiano has also directed numerous plays including Secret Bridesmaids' Business, Play On, Lend Me A Tenor and Abigail's Party.
In 2012, she directed Cash On Delivery, named one of the top 10 plays of the year at the Finley Awards, also winning an award for its washing machine effect.
Abigail's Party scored Tropiano a certificate for authenticity at the Finley Awards the following year.
"Because the original Nunsense was so successful my challenge this time around is to make sure the sequel is of the same standard," she said.
"We are well into rehearsal and by having the same cast and crew I am confident it will be."
Nunsense II: The Second Coming plays at 8pm, June 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26 and 27 with 2pm matinees June 14 and 21.
Tickets are $32, $27 concession and $21 children – book on 9571 8591 between 9am and midday, Monday to Friday, or at www.limelighttheatre.com.
Limelight Theatre is located on Civic Drive, Wanneroo.

Pine-Richland takes leg up in baseball standings over Shaler
There may not have been two hotter teams in WPIAL baseball heading into last week than Shaler and Pine-Richland.
The Rams (4-1, 8-1 Section 4-AAAA) and Titans (4-1, 6-5) were coming in on winning streaks, and with the section lead on the line, both teams came in guns blazing.
Pine-Richland senior pitcher Marcus Colella squared off against Shaler sophomore Jake Potock. Both pitchers brought their "A" game, but an early run scored by David Laylock off a deep fly ball by Shea Sullivan gave the Rams a slim advantage after one inning.
Potock locked down after that, but the Rams managed to load the bases in the bottom of the fourth. Potock hit Laylock with a pitch, and that was followed up by a Daane Berezo single and a bunt by Shane Heim that he beat out to first base to load the bases.
Potock got the Titans out of that jam by striking out the next three Pine-Richland batters to keep the game close.
The Titans were not as fortunate in the fifth. With two outs and nobody on, the Rams got to work. Heim and Sullivan notched back-to-back singles, setting the stage for Jack Hudak to knock in a run, and Jamie Switalski followed Hudak with a pair of runs batted in before J.T. Riley added another.
"We wanted to give Marcus some breathing room," Riley said.
It looked for a bit like the Rams were going to need the cushion. Shaler's Justin Mazza singled in the top of the fourth, and when Andrew Mueller crushed a shot to the outfield, Mazza headed home. Joey Professori made the tag at home to keep the Rams in front.
Pine-Richland robbed the Titans again in the top of the fifth when Shaler's Alec McElroy drove a ball back near the warning track in the vicinity of Heim, the Rams center fielder.
"I was playing normal depth, and I saw it come off his bat and I honestly didn't think I was going to get there," Heim said. "I went for it, laid out — full extension — and got it with the top of my glove."
Heim's grab essentially silenced the Titans' effort for the rest of the afternoon.
Shaler coach Brian Junker was pleased with his pitching effort from Potock (five strikeouts) and Matt Carter (two strikeouts).
"We came out with no energy and were not ready to play," Junker said. "I don't know why that was.
"I tell the kids they can control two things: attitude and energy. Jake did a good job pitching, but when you don't have energy, nothing good can happen and any chance we had to rally was snuffed out by mistakes."
Pine-Richland coach Kurt Wolfe, on the other hand, got contributions from every member of his team. Although there was not one superstar performance, every little bit chipped in for the win.
"I don't know if anyone was hotter than Shaler coming in," Wolfe said. "This was big, that's what I told my coaches after the game. This tied us for the section lead.
"It started off as a pitchers' duel, and J.T. came through with a huge hit and Shane had that unbelievable catch."
Wolfe has been able to keep a good number of rest days in place for his pitchers, and Colella looked sharp as a result.
"I was throwing for strikes," he said. "Shane made that catch, and David made some throws to help the team a lot. Getting that guy out at home was big, because we were able to get out of the inning without allowing any runs. We just have to keep up the energy and keep the momentum going."
The win was a big one, but Riley put it all in perspective.
"We have to stay focused, and that starts in practice," Riley said, "This was one of our top games this season, but it does not mean anything yet … our goal is WPIALs and then (to) go far in states."
With the second half of section play beginning this week, Wolfe wants to see the defense remain solid and the hitting stay timely.
"You have to do that to put yourself in a position to make the playoffs," Wolfe said.
For Shaler, Junker said that in a weird way, this loss may have been what his team needed to reevaluate itself.
"We are still in a good spot, but a win today could have given us a stranglehold on the division," Junker said. "We have to come out with better attitudes and more energy."

The Twins' pitching has cratered, and maybe it should have.
It was a Baseball Prospectus co-founder, Gary Huckabay, who coined the truism: There Is No Such Thing as a Pitching Prospect. Years and years after Huckabay first posited that, though, two of his fellow BP alumni proposed a modification that, while even more radical, rings truer every day we get older.

Paul looks at five starting pitchers that could help your fantasy squad if you deploy them only when they take the mound at their home yards.
A couple of weeks ago, I started to take a look at the 2014 first round, discussing what we've learned so far in 2013 and how it might impact the early part of drafts next March. I also mentioned a second part next time out. The "Sporer Report" was off last week for the holidays, and though it's obviously back this week, I'm tabling part two for a little while to cover a topic a bit more useful for the here and now as you charge toward your 2013 league pennants.
There is nothing new about streaming pitchers as it relates to fantasy baseball. It's a viable strategy with known pros and cons. It is often a matchup-based decision, but today we are going to look at some guys who are useful candidates for the other primary factor when deciding on streamers: venue. Depending on their team's ballparks, some pitchers perform markedly better at home or on the road. I have 10 such pitchers, five for each side, whom you can maximize by deploying them only on their plus side. Let's start with the homebodies.

An unlikely team leads the American League in scoring in June: the Oakland Athletics.
The Tuesday Takeaway
After last night's 3-0 shutout over the Dodgers, though, the A's have now won six of seven, improving to 32-36 on the year and jumping back into third place. Brandon McCarthy, on the mound for the first time since June 9, led the way for Oakland in the series opener, tossing seven scoreless innings before Grant Balfour and Ryan Cook finished off Los Angeles. But the offense, not the pitching staff, has actually done much of the heavy lifting of late.

Friedrich and Milone headline this week's VP list
Pitchers are starting to drop to like flies, making Value Picks even more important as they move from luxuries to necessities as replacements. Cory Luebke has a partially torn UCL, Jeff Niemann suffered a broken leg and hit the 60-day disabled list, Danny Duffy is likely set for Tommy John surgery, Vance Worley joined the DL ranks with elbow inflammation, and Joe Wieland (hardly a mixed league stalwart five minutes into his career), went down earlier this month with an elbow injury of his own.

Bryce Harper's presence and early contributions gives the Nationals a happy glimpse into the future.
The Weekend Takeaway
Top prospect Bryce Harper arrived with a bang on Saturday, and while Kemp ultimately stole the show, the 19-year-old phenom immediately displayed the tools that will soon make him a superstar. Harper rocketed a high Chad Billingsley fastball over Kemp's head to straightaway center for a double, fired an 80-grade bullet home from left field, and drove in the go-ahead run with a ninth-inning sacrifice fly that would have won the game if not for a Henry Rodriguez meltdown in the bottom half of the frame.

FURANO, Hokkaido Pref. – Canadian Crispin Lipscomb and Manuela Laura Pesko of Switzerland won the halfpipe titles of the World Cup Furano meet on Saturday, while Japan's Takahiro Ishihara and Soko Yamaoka finished runnerup.
Lipscomb claimed his first career title on the World Cup circuit after collecting 45.5 points for his second run in the final, holding off Ishihara by 1.3 points. Ishihara rebounded from a blunder in his first run to post the first podium finish of his World Cup career.
Germany's Jan Michaelis took third with 41.7 points, the highest mark in the first run of the final.
All Japanese riders who ran in the Turin Olympics last month slumped in the men's event, with Domu Narita finishing ninth, Takaharu Nakai 10th and Kazuhiro Kokubo 12th.
In the women's final, Pesko earned 38.0 points in her second run following a disastrous first run that put her at the bottom on her way to winning her third World Cup title of the season.
Yamaoka gained 36.4 points in the second run and fellow Japanese Shiho Nakashima followed in third with 34.2 in an event that missed many of the world's top riders, including the Americans who dominated in the Turin Olympics.

Institutions and the quality of governance: an empirical study on interstate differences in economic development in India
Economic performance is closely linked to the existence of good institutions. However, the quality of governance has also been identified as an important factor that affects economic growth and development. This paper empirically examines the significance of these factors in explaining variations in the per capita GDP of the Indian states and the extent of industrialization across them. Towards this end, indices for institutions—such as the protection of property rights, the efficiency of the legal system at the state level and the rule of law—as well as indicators of the extent and quality of State intervention and political stability, have been constructed to bring them into an empirically testable format. Empirical findings suggest that the quality of governance is significant in explaining the variations in state per capita GDP. Institutional factors play a significant role in explaining variations in the extent of industrialization across the Indian states.

Lady GaGa is helping Mary J. Blige send underprivileged women to college after striking up an unlikely friendship with the R&B icon.
The two singers have bonded over their charity work and Mary J. Blige reveals the "Poker Face" hit maker Lady GaGa has made a substantial donation to her Foundation For the Advancement of Women Now (FFAWN) organization, which provides scholarships for disadvantaged New Yorkers.
But GaGa isn't the only celebrity to lend support to Blige's cause.
She tells UsMagazine.com, "Lady GaGa donated a huge cheque and just wanted to be involved. It means so much! And of course Jay-Z is involved."
Revealing her admiration for GaGa, Blige adds, "We have the same management team, and she loves me and I love her. I always tell her when I see her that nobody brings me joy like she does when I watch her videos - they just crack me up!"
"I just tell her to just be her! I say, 'You're amazing and just keep doing what you're doing!' I love what she's doing, and she's not letting anybody hold her back and she's not following the leader, she's leading."
Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson and Queen Latifah all helped to boost the profile of FFAWN by performing at a charity concert in Manhattan on Sunday, May 1.

Deal Journal Video: Salomon Brothers' Legacy
It's time to bid adieu to Salomon Brothers.
Of course, the investment bank officially disappeared into Citigroup over a decade ago.
But as the world's credit boom intensified earlier this decade, Citi turned to the remnants of Salomon.
Salomon's credit desk helped push the bank into tens of billions of disastrous mortgage bets. Citi's investment bankers, largely Salomon veterans, piled on billions more in leveraged-buyout debts. Meanwhile, it was Salomon's commodities-trading operation, Phibro, that provided some of the only reliable profits for the Citi mothership.
Now as Vikram Pandit tries to rebuild Citi, he will do so with an increasingly limited Salomon influence.
Dennis Berman and Evan Newmark discuss how Salomon's culture has been passed onto Wall Street and in particular, onto Citigroup.

Why is it Hard for a Woman to Lose FAT!
|It is not a secret that men lose fat more successfully then women. To understand why it is that way, you need to know what kind of roles males and females played thousands of years ago. The male body naturally has more muscle. And it takes muscle to burn calories, and you have to burn calories to lose weight. The female body was designed for pregnancy, life giving, and providing food to its offspring.
On average men are 10-15% larger than women, they have weigh 20% more and are about 30% stronger. The males job was to hunt to get food, gathering all kinds of stuff and physical labor. That is why our bodies are also designed differently.
Studies have proven that the difference between men and women are found in the functioning of woman's hormones and the construction and function of her fat cells. Hormones control how our metabolism functions, how fat is stored and so much more.
Because women have less muscle, then they have to work harder to lose fat. A man could be working at 50% of his capacity during physical activity, but a woman would have to be working at 70% of her capacity in order to keep up. So if women have less muscle, that means they have more fat cells. Women[ fat cells are also 5 times more larger than men. Women are programmed to store and hold more fat.
Did you know women have to burn 300 more calories per day during pregnancy and 500 more calories during breast feeding. Thousands of years ago food was not as available as it is right now. So women stored fat for harder time, especially during pregnancy. It is the bodies instinct to store fat. If you combine all the factors, then you can imagine why it is difficult to lose weight.
One other factor that makes weight loss harder is the amount of chemicals, fertilizers, plastics, soy isoflavones, certain herbs and petroleum products that are stored in our bodies. Bad eating habits with poor lifestyle are also a big factor. Eating organic and natural foods with proper exercise is essential.

Sales Estimates Slashed for Ultrabooks for 2012 Due to Poor Adoption

Ultrabooks on the decline
About a month ago, Intel
cut the outlook
for its Q3 earnings by $1.1 billion. The reduction in earnings indicated that perhaps Intel's ultrabooks weren't selling as well as the company wanted. Intel originally hailed the ultrabook as the next big thing to revive the struggling PC economy.
So far, ultrabooks haven't performed as well as expected in large part due to the high cost of the machines and increasing popularity of tablets. Research firm IHS iSuppli has cut its shipment expectations for ultrabooks globally during 2012. Previously, iSuppli expected 22 million ultrabooks to ship globally during 2012. The research firm has now cut that estimate to 10.3 million for the entire year.
The research firm cites two major reasons for poor sales in the ultrabook realm citing "nebulous marketing and unappealing price." ISuppli also points a finger at Intel as having to own up to standards that are too strict, confusing the marketplace between what's an ultrabook and what is an ultrathin notebook.
Sony VAIO T13
"So far, the PC industry has failed to create the kind of buzz and excitement among consumers that is required to propel ultrabooks into the mainstream," Craig Stice, IHS's senior principal analyst for computer platforms, wrote in the report.
The research firm also criticized pricing of ultrabooks that sit near $1000 for most units. The company believes that a price cut bringing ultrabooks and the $600-$700 price range could increase sales next year. When Intel first started counting the ultrabook, $600-$700 was the price range many expected the machines to come to market in.
ISuppli believes that Intel's new processor, code-named
, expected to launch in the middle of 2013 will also help improve sales in the ultrabook market.
Windows 8
is also expected to have an impact on sales in the segment.
"The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak." -- Robert Heinlein

Making a documentary about zany conspiracy theories, Jim and Aaron meet Terrance (Peterson), a theorist with some far-fetched things to say about the world. Then they find Terrance gone and his apartment ransacked. Is the line between fact and theory blurrier than they thought?
Filmmakers Aaron Poole and Jim Gilbert (playing themselves) are working on a documentary about Terrance (Alan C. Peterson), a loony New York conspiracy theorist who has disappeared. The climax is unsettling, even if the set-up isn't free from the ranting that gets real-life conspiracy theorists ignored.
A satisfying found-footage spooker.

I had an account compromise about one and a half years ago. It was a password I used on numerous games (including my Xbox Live account), and never did shady things with it.
Best I can determine is it was related to some companies having relatively lax recovery methods. Since then I keep every password different. (I did before with important things, but common things like games I was lazy with.)

According to the American Heart Association, "about 92% of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital, but statistics prove that if more people knew CPR, more lives could be saved. Immediate CPR can double, and even triple, a victim's chance of survival." Also according to the American Heart Association, "Choking is the No. 1 cause of unintentional death in infants."
In addition to the personal benefits that can come from knowing CPR, many health care and education training programs, as well as companies and organizations, require students and employees to be certified in Basic Life Support for Health Care Providers. CPR protocol recently dramatically changed from the previous "ABCs" of CPR.
Through the ACC Continuing Education CPR Program, you can learn to give "the breath of life" in one of our one-day training courses. This class, which meets the American Heart Association requirements for CPR programs, provides the prospective or actual health care professional with the knowledge and skills needed to perform CPR with the use of an automated external defibrillator and bag mask for infant, child and adult patients.
The following ACC Health Care Programs require this class:
Also Credit Programs: Associate Degree Nursing and Licensed Vocational Nursing; Respiratory Care; Emergency Medical Technology; Diagnostic Cardiovascular Sonography and Polysomnography require this course as a pre-requisite.
The timing as to when the class must be taken in relation to preceptor-ships, internships and externships varies and must be in compliance with each course of study.

The Mall on Black Friday: Not Worth It
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Screaming girls, fights, and people by the masses with a whisper of holiday music in the background at 1:00 AM can only mean one thing: Black Friday.
One spot in particular makes me uneasy just by the thought of it. Filled with stores that only last as long at their trends, the Battlefield Mall is a hot spot on Black Friday, but I would not recommend going there if you are looking for jaw-dropping deals.
I have gone to the mall on Black Friday for the past three years. It was a tradition I started with some friends because we thought we could buy expensive clothes for cheap prices. Boy, were we wrong. The only reason why we continued to go were to amuse ourselves watching middle-aged women fight.
I am not saying that stores don't have any special sales, but many stores only have buy one get one. If you wait until February or even January, the same stores will have even lower prices on clothing.
So if you want to spend time with friends and enjoy people watching, go ahead and go to the mall at midnight. But if you are looking to buy clothes for almost no cost, Black Friday isn't the day to do it.

RANCHO PENASQUITOS -- A 27-year-old woman died Friday in a three-vehicle collision on Highway 56, authorities said.
The crash was reported at about 11:15 a.m., after an eastbound 2002 Volkswagen GTI and 2005 Nissan 350z collided near Camino Del Sur, California Highway Patrol officer Brad Baehr said.
Both vehicles went into the dirt center median and the Volkswagen struck a steel guardrail before veering into westbound traffic, Baehr said.
The Volkswagen was then struck by a 1997 Ford F-250 truck that was towing a flatbed trailer, the officer said. The Volkswagen's driver -- identified by the county medical examiner's office as Jana Warda, of San Diego -- suffered fatal injuries, he said.
The Nissan's driver was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla as a precautionary measure, Baehr said. The Ford's driver was not hurt, he said.
Warda is survived by her mother, an investigator for the medical examiner's office said.

A FORMER church is set to become a nursery school.
Baxenden Methodist Church in Blackburn Road, Rising Bridge, has been taken over by the team behind Haslingden's Puddleducks Nursery.
The church, built in 1969, closed in 2010 and nursery bosses have asked Rossendale Council for permission to carry out 'extensive' renovations.
Andrew Chettle, from Crawshawbooth, wants replace window frames, create two new doorways, and add a play area and timber fencing.
In a planning statement, he said: "The building is being renovated to provide a warm, safe and good-quality place for children.
"The car park and garden will be attractively maintained with planting, lighting and a pleasant outdoor play space."
Puddleducks' Haslingden venture, in Helmshore Road, opened in 1991 and was rated outstanding at its last inspection by education watchdog Ofsted in May 2012.
The company's website states: "Baxenden Methodist Church was newly built in 1969 and shares the same style of building as the bungalows in Haslingden.
"With careful and sympathetic refurbishment the hall will give staff and children a pleasant and spacious playroom.
"There are two other rooms; The Beehive Room, which will be turned into a cosy baby room, and an office and staff room.
"There are plans to build additional rooms."
Mr Chettle said the development could create five full-time and two-part time jobs, although it is unclear how many youngsters would attend.
The applicant wants to remove the building's cross and replace it with the Puddleducks logo and replace guttering, plumbing and electrical systems.

U.S Urges Dialogue as Egypt Braces for Protests; American Jewish Student Killed in Alexandria
Protest organizers say 22 million Egyptians signed petition to oust president Morsi; Andrew Pochter, 21, of Chevy Chase, Maryland, killed on Friday.
U.S. President Barack Obama called on Egypt's government and opposition on Saturday to engage each other in constructive dialogue and prevent violence spilling out across the region.
Political violence on Friday killed three people, including an American Jewish college student, and mass rallies are planned for Sunday aimed at unseating Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. Obama said he was "looking at the situation with concern."
Hundreds have been wounded and at least eight killed in street fighting for over a week as political deadlock deepens.
The U.S. citizen who was killed Friday was Andrew Pochter, 21, of Chevy Chase, Maryland. Pochter, who was active in his college's Hillel, died after being stabbed in the chest in the coastal city of Alexandria.
A statement on a Facebook page entitled "R.I.P Andrew Driscoll Pochter", which appeared to have been posted by his family, said Pochter had travelled to Alexandria for the summer to teach English to 7- and 8-year-old Egyptian children and to improve his Arabic.
The page had also been posted on by colleagues of Pochter at the U.S. educational non-profit organization where he was working.
The family statement read: "He went to Egypt because he cared profoundly about the Middle East, and he planned to live and work there in the pursuit of peace and understanding."
The youth group leading the campaign against Egypt's president says it has collected the signatures of 22 million Egyptians who want to remove the Islamist leader.
Mahmoud Badr, a leader of the Tamarod, or rebel, movement said Saturday that 22,134,460 Egyptians have signed the petition demanding Morsi's ouster.
Badr did not say whether there had been an independent audit of the signatures. Morsi's supporters have long questioned the authenticity of the collected signatures."Every party has to denounce violence," Obama said at the other end of Africa, in Pretoria. "We'd like to see the opposition and President Morsi engage in a more constructive conversation about how they move their country forward because nobody is benefiting from the current stalemate." He added that it was "challenging, given there is not a tradition of democracy in Egypt."
Morsi's critics hope millions will march on Sunday when he marks a year in power to demand new elections. They accuse his Muslim Brotherhood of hijacking the revolution of 2011 and using its electoral majorities to monopolize power.
"Egypt is the largest country in the Arab world," Obama said. "The entire region is concerned that, if Egypt continues with this constant instability, that has adverse effects more broadly." U.S. missions would be protected, he said. Last year, a consulate in Libya was overrun and Americans killed.
The Egyptian army, heavily funded by Washington since before Hosni Mubarak was overthrown, is on alert. It warned politicians it may step in if they lose control of the streets - an outcome some in the diffuse opposition coalition may quietly welcome, but to which Morsi's Islamist allies might respond with force.
It is unclear how big the rallies will be or when they may start. Protest organizers said on Saturday a petition calling on Mursi to quit had 22 million signatures - over 40 percent of the electorate and 7 million more than they announced 10 days ago.
The figure could not be verified, but independent analysts say there is a real prospect of very large demonstrations.
Some few thousand activists in Cairo were camping out at rival centers on Saturday. There was no sign of renewed trouble.
Several offices of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood were attacked on Friday, including one in Alexandria where two men died, including 21-year-old American Andrew Procter. In Port Said on the Suez Canal, a home-made hand grenade killed a protester and wounded 15. The Health Ministry said 236 people were injured on Friday.
The U.S. embassy evacuated non-essential staff and warned citizens to avoid Egypt. An airport source said dozens of U.S. personnel and their families left Cairo for Germany on Saturday.
The U.S. ambassador has angered liberals by saying Morsi was legitimately elected and that protests may be counter-productive for an economy crippled by unrest that has cut tourism revenues.
In the capital, Islamist supporters were still camped outside a suburban mosque where they had gathered in the many thousands on Friday to vent anger and fear over a return of army-backed rule. Some speakers also urged reconciliation.
On Tahrir Square, seat of the uprising of early 2011, flags and tents formed a base camp for protesters. They hoped for millions on the streets under slogans accusing Morsi and the Brotherhood of hijacking the revolution against Hosni Mubarak to entrench their own rule. A rally was also planned outside the presidential palace, where some had already taken up position.
With short supplies of fuel adding to long-standing economic woes, many said they would turn out on Sunday, when Morsi marks his first year in office as Egypt's first ever freely elected leader, to demand a new president who can bring them prosperity.
Liberal opposition leaders dismissed an offer of cooperation from Mursi this week as too little too late. The Brotherhood, which says at least five of its supporters have been killed in days of street fighting, accuses liberals of allying with those loyal to Mubarak to mount a coup against the electoral process.
The opposition says the Brotherhood are trying to monopolize power, Islamize a diverse society and throttle dissent. They cite as evidence Morsi's broadsides against critical media and legal proceedings launched against journalists and satirists.
"Mursi is no longer the legitimate president of Egypt," Mohamed Abdelaziz, a protest organizer, told a news conference where others called for peaceful sit-ins to last until Morsi made way for an interim administration led by a senior judge.
"Come June 30, the people will run Egypt!" chanted people attending the event. The opposition, which has lost a series of elections, wants to reset the rules that emerged in a messy process of army and then Islamist rule since early 2011.
Egypt's leading religious authority warned of the risk of "civil war" after violence in the past week that left several dead and hundreds injured. The clerics backed Morsi's offer to talk to opposition groups before Sunday's protests.
A senior figure at Cairo's Al-Azhar institute said Sunday should be a day of "community dialogue and civilized expression of opinion", a "catalyst" for political leaders to understand their national duty - and the "dangerous alternative."
Senior Brotherhood figure Essam el-Erian was dismissive of middle-class protest organizers in a Facebook post: "Millions of farmers will wake early, perform their morning prayers and go to their fields to harvest food for the people," he wrote.
Warning again that Mubarak-era "thugs" would spread violence among peaceful protesters, he said government would continue: "President Mohamed Morsi will go to his office tomorrow to sign new planning and budget laws for the new financial year."

A special dinner just for 2. The recipe is from Pillsbury.
Top Review by teresas
What a wonderful easy dinner to prepare. We loved the flavors of spices on the game hen and the veggies. This worked very well together. The hen was nice and tender. My red potatoes were on the extra firm side after cooking. Thats due to using med and not small potatoes. The sweet potatoes just melted in your mouth. Thanks for posting. :)

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - Cool weather fans had a real treat this weekend, but the trick may be on them come Halloween.
High temperatures in the 70s greeted Central Floridians on Sunday, but the high will peak at 82 degrees on Monday.
"It's going to be hot on Halloween and there's a chance of rain," said Local 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges, who added that there's a 20 percent chance of showers on Thursday.
Until Thursday, however, there's no chance of rain in the forecast.
The high temperature in Orlando for Halloween is expected to be 86 degrees.
"Around trick-or-treat time, temps will be in the 70s," Bridges said.
Overnight lows through Wednesday will be in the mid-60s.
