SEMINOLE — Even before she became an official candidate for the Florida House of Representatives, Dawn Thompson was accused of violating both state election laws and local building rules.
Thompson, 41, faces a complaint that she spent money on her campaign before appointing a campaign treasurer and opening a bank account for the race. State law requires candidates to have both before spending any money on their races. The charges were filed with the Florida Elections Commission on Sept. 18, five days before she filed to run for the House District 51 seat now occupied by Janet Long, D-Seminole.
Thompson's also in trouble with the city of Seminole, which issued a stop work order against her and her husband, Steven, for failing to get a permit to remove a fiberglass swimming pool and replace it with a concrete pool. A second stop work order was issued because a front door had been replaced without a permit. City officials say the Thompsons have also failed to have required inspections on the pool. The Thompsons own a pool maintenance company that is run out of their Seminole home.
"I'm not ready to grant anyone an interview at this time," Thompson said Tuesday. But she went on to blame the pool issue on contractors who had said no permit was needed. The issue is settled, she said.
Thompson said she was unaware of any issues regarding inspections. No one, she said, had told her that the work had not been inspected.
"I have absolutely no knowledge of this," she said.
As for the state ethics complaint, Thompson conceded she might have broken the law but had done so inadvertently.
"I don't think it's going to be considered a major infraction," she said. "I certainly didn't intend to break any laws."
The ethics complaint was filed by Maurice Wappler, a St. Petersburg resident who makes a hobby of playing "gotcha" with politicians. Wappler closely scrutinizes campaigns of candidates at all levels and all parties to make sure they're sticking to the letter of the law.
His complaint with Thompson is that she distributed fliers and campaign buttons during a Sept. 14 meeting of the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee. Wappler charged that spending the money for these before Thompson filed her candidacy on Sept. 28 violated the law.
Thompson said she had both a treasurer and a bank account before Sept. 14 but was waiting to file until the end of the quarter. She denied spending money on either the fliers or the buttons, saying the fliers were printed on paper she already had and the buttons will not be paid for until this month.
"It's kind of a logistical issue," she said. "It's not to the letter of the law."
Thompson also addressed another issue: One of her trucks has a Massachusetts tag even though she has lived in Florida for more than a year. Florida law requires vehicle registrations and tags to be transferred within 10 days of becoming a state resident.
Thompson said the truck has not been here for a year, but she was unsure how long it has been in the state. Her husband, she said, went back to Massachusetts and moved it here.
Thompson is not a newcomer to politics. She unsuccessfully ran for state senate in Massachusetts in 2004. She and her husband moved to Florida more than a year ago and opened a pool maintenance company. They bought a house in Seminole this year.
House District 51 stretches down the western side of Pinellas County from Largo to South Pasadena and includes Seminole and parts of Pinellas Park and the unincorporated Lealman area. Republican Larry Ahern, a pool remodeling business owner from St. Petersburg has also filed to run for the seat. The election is November 2010.

Juvederm does not work in naso folds unless you USE TWO SYRINGES. It will only do part of the job. Do radiesse, it is a lot of more, but it is thicker and will fill in steep groves and inclines that juvederm is too weak to do. Trust me, I had juvederm injected (only one syringe) into my naso folds and I need to go in and buy another syringe because the product is too thin and I need more because my folds moderate deep. I am only 29, so they are not like way bad yet. I will get radiesse next time. GET RADIESSE OVER JUVEDERM, you won't regret the decision, but your checkbook will.

It has to be something that is hard to notice in a still shot, maybe it's those palm trees in the top right corner blowing around in the wind?
Also I don't see a racing line and the splotches on the track look like water drying up?
The only weird thing I can see in these vey nice shots is the guard rail under the camera isn't attached to the posts, and your using two horizons for parralax effect.

I think the revelation was the working Pit lights. This would be really cool to add the funtion of closing the pits.

It's your second quite 'strange' post for the last few minutes
Scott will be added an option to saturate or desaturate the colors?
It would be a great option to optimize the game a taste of each person...
Things that I see in screen2.jpg:
- The Safety Car line just before the last corner
- Cones in the Pit entry ??
I'd like saturation and contrast control very much as well. I don't understand though why the rain screenshots seem to have realistic saturation and the sunny screenshots have the usual cartoony/over saturated/overly warm look?
Not saying mine is necessarily perfect, just the original leaves quite a bit to be desired concerning realistic colours and contrast.

Yeah yours is a bit green.. Kind of like scenes from the matrix.
Frankly, I usually pay very little attention to WIP shots anyway. They typically change before any release, and as TW mentioned, they can vary greatly depending on the machine and graphics settings.

I'll buy rFactor 2 anyway Jan even if i dislike the ISI content. And i think ISI should charge way more than for rFactor 1 if rF 2 is the same idea. 36 € for rFactor 1 is given. Make it 75 € they deserve it.
I just dont get why snapshots are taken when the track obviously is looking like some rfactor track. Mills rFactor 2 looks more polished.
piXsim Nogaro for rFactor is looking way better than most of what preview showed us.

6. Hold it! Have balance. After reading my last two entries which would surely drive most people crazy, now I suggest to do something completely opposite. Be into what you do, but don't forget what's outside. A lot of publishing and DIY-anything is about sacrifice. People don't tell you that part, but it's true. You're going to miss parties, shows, and your favorite TV show, and that's part of the territory, but learning how to balance work and the non work is one of the toughest things to learn. Admittedly, I haven't quite figured it all out yet.
This is me picking off some snacks at Saelee Oh's opening in NYC. Not an exciting photo, but look at the Red Vines font!
You know that feeling, when you go out of town for a week, and you come back and it feels like you missed out on a lot of stuff? Maybe it happens less with internet and cell phones, but that weird feeling can happen when you're trapped inside working on your project. Although the hard work is usually fun, it's a good idea to pull your noggin out of your work, use the flim flams and join in on other things in the world.
Another issue with being an editor is that even though the hard work you put in is valuable, not being part of the world will eventually make you useless to your own publication. Ideally, a long term editor or publisher or store owner should improve with time and not end up being a fossil.
In GR world, we're sort of fortunate, since the publication has always been based on whatever we're into. That means, we don't need to be up on the latest Asian American "rock star" who's the invisible bassist of a top 40 band, the cute actress who's in a film for a blink of a moment, or identity finding comedy / theater group. I think we can do the hermit issue if we wanted, and I'd put my money down that it would turn out interesting.

From Pharmacy Drug Guide
Drug recalls occur when a problem is discovered with a medication, and it is removed from the market. Recalls can be voluntary or under order by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, the FDA. A recall may be announced as a protective action when a drug causes injury to patients or as a precautionary action when a problem is detected which is not expected to be harmful.[1] The number of drug recalls has increased in recent years, driven both by problems in production and by increased FDA scrutiny.[2] Both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs may be subject to recall.
Some recalled drugs have caused deaths or injuries. One of the most well-known recalls is the 1982 recall of Tylenol®. Seven people in the Chicago area, including three in one household, died after taking Tylenol® capsules that were laced with cyanide.[3] However, most drug recalls are due to more benign defects.

About Drug Recalls
Drugs may be recalled in three ways. First, the manufacturer may voluntarily initiate a recall after discovering a potential problem. Then, if the manufacturer does not order a recall, the FDA may request that they voluntarily do so. Finally, if necessary, the FDA has the statutory authority to order a recall.[1] The FDA has jurisdiction over the following types of medical products:
- drugs
- vaccines
- medical devices
- other biologics
- blood and plasma products
- veterinary products[4]
There are several types of recalls or market withdrawals. They are:
- Class I recall: This happens when there is a reasonable probability that a drug will cause serious injury or death.
- Class II recall: This recall is for drugs that may cause temporary or reversible injury.
- Class III recall: Drugs in this class are not expected to cause injury.
- Market withdrawal: This is a minor violation that would not be subject to FDA legal action. Problems that are not caused during manufacturing may be in this category.
- Medical device safety alert: This alert is issued when a medical device is expected to cause substantial harm. It may also be considered a recall.[5]
The government has a searchable database of recalls on the website Recalls.gov. The site also has a section for recent recalls.
Largest Recalls
Thalidomide: In the late 1950s and early 1960s, thalidomide was prescribed to pregnant women to control morning sickness. It was removed from the market when it was shown to cause limb defects in infants.[6]
Fen-Phen: Fenfluramine and phentermine were approved for single use for short-term obesity control. The two drugs were often prescribed off-label in combination for long-term use. This resulted in at least 82 cases of cardiac valvular disease. Sixteen of those patients required heart valve surgery, and at least one died. Fenfluramine and phentermine were removed from the market on September 15, 1997.[7] [8]
Vioxx®: On September 30, 2004, after five years on the market, Merck voluntarily withdrew Vioxx® (rofecoxib) due to increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. In 2003, worldwide sales of Vioxx® had totaled $2.5 billion and it was used by 80 million people. In 2007, Merck paid $4.85 billion to settle lawsuits in the US.[9] [10] [11] [12]
Trasylol®: Trasylol® (aprotinin) was approved in 1993 to reduce blood loss in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. On November 5, 2007, Bayer withdrew Trasylol® from the market after a study showed increased risk of kidney damage and deaths from the use of Trasylol®. It is estimated that thousands of patients may have died following surgery and the use of Trasylol®. The study that showed increased risk was itself halted following increased deaths.[13]
Drug Side Effects
Recent Recalls
Theraflu® and Triaminic®: On January 31, 2013, pharmaceutical company Novartis issued a voluntary recall of certain packages of Triaminic® and Theraflu. The recall applied to products that were manufactured before December 31, 2011, and was instituted because of a defect in the child-proof caps on the bottles. Consumers who purchased the affected products qualified for a full refund.
Budeprion® XL 300: In October 2012, Budeprion® XL 300 was voluntarily recalled by the FDA. While the medication was still considered to be safe for patients, the FDA determined that the chemical makeup of Budeprion® XL 300, a generic drug, was not similar enough to the prescription strength of the brand name drug, Wellbutrin® XL 300. Pharmaceutical companies Teva and Impax have since removed Budeprion® XL 300 from the market.[14]
Tylenol®: On February 17, 2012, seven lots of Infants' Tylenol® Oral Suspension were taken off the shelves after manufacturer McNeill Consumer Healthcare voluntarily recalled them. There was no issue with the medicine itself, but faulty packaging made the syrup difficult to dispense. This was the latest in a string of Tylenol® recalls, many of them for unpleasant odors. No harmful reactions have been reported in any Tylenol® recall since 1982.
Enfamil®: On December 22, 2011, retailers began pulling Enfamil® Newborn formula from their shelves as a precautionary measure after a 10-day-old infant died from a bacterial infection after consuming the formula. However, a series of two tests on numerous samples revealed that the Enfamil® products were safe.[15]
Motrin® IB: On December 21, 2011, recalled 59 lots of Motrin® IB due to concerns that as the products approached their expiration date, the tablets and caplets might not dissolve as quickly as intended and consumers may have a delay in experiencing relief.[16]
Virility Max®: On November 10, 2011, Keime Incorporated announced a voluntary recall of one lot of a dietary supplement known as Virility Max®. An FDA analysis showed that the product contained sulfoaildenafil, an analog of sildenafil, which was not listed on the product label.[17]

Rhode Island History
The following important events in the history of Rhode Island affected political boundaries, record keeping, and family movements:
1636:Religious dissenters from Massachusetts founded Providence. Settlements soon followed at Portsmouth, Newport, and Warwick. Each town kept deed, probate, and vital records.
1663: A royal charter created the United Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
1747: Rhode Island gained the towns of Bristol, Little Compton, Tiverton, and Warren from Massachusetts.
1790: Rhode Island was the last of the original thirteen colonies to ratify the Constitution and become a state.
1830s-1840s:As the factory system developed, thousands of foreign laborers began moving into Rhode Island.
1861-1865:During the Civil War, 25,000 men from Rhode Island served in the Union armed forces.
1862: Rhode Island gained the town of East Providence and part of the town of Pawtucket from Massachusetts. Massachusetts received Fall River, which earlier had been the northern part of Tiverton.

GuZoo wolves poisoned, pups orphaned
Published Wednesday, May 16, 2012 4:00PM MDT
Owners of the controversial GuZoo Animal Farm say two of their wolves were deliberately poisoned and they're blaming anti-zoo activists.
Two timberwolves, Zookey and Cheyenne, were found dead in their enclosure Tuesday morning.
The pair are the parents of five new wolf pups.
An autopsy performed by GuZoo's veterinarian suggests one wolf was poisoned with cyanide. The second wolf will be examined by an independent vet in Calgary.
Animal rights groups have documented years of unsanitary conditions at GuZoo, including dirty drinking water.
The zoo is currently operating without a permit until a judicial review decides whether to shut it down.

Istanbul is Europe's third and world's 21st biggest city. As researches demonstrates, if these trends continue, Istanbul will be the most crowded city of Europe by 2020. Despite its population of more than 12 million people as well as the mass of visitors coming from various different countries, the city is enlisted among the safest cities in the world despite its highly dense population. This gives a sense of peace to citizens and visitors alike as the city's historical heritage carries them through the ages. According to the available data, one of every 66 people in Istanbul is involved in a crime. This is compared to one of 14 people in Budapest, one of seven people in Vienna, one of eight people in Luxembourg, one of 34 people in Sofia, and one of six people in Berlin. The research conducted by the EU Crime and Security Consortium, exposes however that 18% of people in Istanbul become victoms of a crime as compared to 32% in London, 27% in Amsterdam, 26% in Belfast and Dublin, 24% in Copenhagen, 23% in New York and Stockholm, 20% in Brussels, 19% in Rome. While total public crimes were recored as 148,165 in 2005 in Istanbul, there were 262,176 in Berlin, 1,015,121 in London, and 200,177 in Paris.
Crime rates in Istanbul, however, have been considerably lowered during the past three years as the result of successful operations by law enforcement units and by the use of MOBESE (acronym for Integrated Mobile Electronic System of CCTV). When compared with the first four months of 2007-2008, there has been a decline of 21% in general crimes, 38% in homicide, swindling, and 59% in pick-pocketing.
MOBESE is a "City Information and Security System" enacted under the Istanbul Security Department with the support of Istanbul's Governorship. With the 584 modern cameras installed in several of Istanbul's streets and squares with the aim of enhancing public services, facilitating administrative functions, and further decreasing crime rates.
Twelve different systems, including 952 quarters, 3,500 police vehicles, 150 mobile police station units, the foundation of Province and District Command Centers, and City Security Directorate, were integrated with MOBESE. Starting with the emergency services, the other institutions are planned to be integrated into the system as necessary.Translated by Mr. Irfan KOKSAL

Rumored to be lower in weight (finally!) and still using a straight six, although this time with a couple of turbo's bolted on, Car and Driver has some spy shots of the new M3. I'm sure the news will continue to leak until all the official details are out – I'm hoping it reverses the trend of recent M incarnations and gets things back to real driver focused cars, rather than a glorified marketing exercise with lots of power and little feel (I'm looking at you M5). We'll see.

Rare is the National Hockey League team that clicks on 25 per cent of its power plays, yet still finds ways to castigate itself. Ladies and gentlemen: your 2012 Los Angeles Kings.
L.A., which had the 17th best power play in the league during the regular season, was 2-for-8 in its Game 1 dismantling of the Vancouver Canucks.
Much of the talk heading into Game 2 Friday night will be about Vancouver's anemic effort with the man advantage, as the Canucks finished 0-for-5. But the Kings - who were tied with Vancouver after 40 minutes, despite having all of their power plays in those first two periods - said they must also get better if they have any chance of knocking off the President's Trophy winners.
"When you get a lot of power plays like that and you don't capitalize as much as you maybe should, that's one of those games they can pull out of the fire, so to speak," said Dustin Penner, who scored the game-winning goal at even strength with just over three minutes remaining in the third period.
His words were echoed by teammate Mike Richards.
"Our power play needs to be better," said Richards. "It's going to be a crucial part of this series. It's something that we have to work on."
Richards scored on a five-on-three 13:31 into the first period to tie the game at one, as he fired a quick wrister through the pads of Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo.
But the Kings had another 5-on-3 right after the Richards goal and couldn't score. The team had a five-minute power play during the second period, after a Byron Bitz boarding major penalty, but capitalized just once. That goal came off the stick of Willie Mitchell with 26 seconds remaining in the major.
Anze Kopitar, the man who led L.A. on the power play during the regular season, notching 26 points, had a quiet night with just one shot on goal. He picked up an assist on the team's first tally, though it was Richards who did all the work. Star defenceman Drew Doughty also assisted on that goal, his only point of the night.
If those two get going on the power play, the Canucks could be in serious trouble - as they were when these teams met in the playoffs two years ago. The Kings opened that series 9-for-13 on the man advantage, a whopping 69 per cent. But they went 1-for-13 in the rest of the series and were bounced by the Canucks in six games.
L.A. has been much maligned for its inability to score goals this season. The Kings had the second-fewest goals during the regular season, with 194. But the team appeared to turn it around late in the year, averaging more than three goals per game since March.

Reviews of Men at Arms (1993)
Review by Lilliana (2003-03-12)
While still developing the protagonists of the watch series, this novel comes in to give the first hint of what's to come in Feet of Clay and the Fifth Elephant. A basic cop-chase-criminal setting, where the stage is set and the roles are cast, but some keep aces up their sleeves. Including a novel idea for a fantasy setting (I won't spoil the fun, I'm keeping it a secret what it is), this novel actually presents Leonard de Quirm, coupled by the incredible Patrician (from behind he looks like a carnivorous flamingo, mind you), and a well-kept secret. Actually two. Well, three on the whole. Alright, it's really full of secrets in there. Just read!

Most of the news from Asus this year has to do with their notebook releases, especially the Eee PC, but they also were showing off a new slim desktop computer. Asus is calling its Nova P22 Barebone the smallest "2L" Core 2 Duo desktop currently available, though we have definitely seen smaller Core 2 Duo systems, such as Mini-ITX systems.
Of course the coolest thing about the Nova P22 is that it looks a lot like the Wii. As you can see from the picture it is white, it comes with a vertical stand, and even has vent placement a lot like your Wii. The coloring is a bit different thanks to the slash of orange across the front as well as some shiny material that seemingly covers the built-in HiFi speakers.
Inside the system there is a Core 2 Duo E6320 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB SATA hard drive, a slim slot-loading DVD-RW drive, and 802.11n wireless. External connections include DVI, four USB slots, sound jacks, power and ethernet. The system measures in at 9.1″ x 7.25″ x 2″ so it's pretty small for a Mini-ITX system but we have seen smaller units.
No word on the price yet, or why Asus is calling this barebones when it appears to have a full spec sheet, but it does looks like a solid system. It is bigger than the Wii and it does not have the graphics capabilities to be much of a gaming computer, but it can fit almost anywhere, especially if you plan on using that stand. Of course, no one at Asus called the system the WiiPC and the official name is the Nova P22, but the similarities in the form factor are quite clear.

I officially started my Ping this morning. Right now I am pumping saline. On friday, I go back and start using insulin. Pretty easy so far. I am going to need time to adapt to changing my infusion set and rewinding. Just need to take it step by step. My CDE has me on a safe dose, and we will be adjusting accordingly. I just hope I don't go very low. I hate going low. I'll bet that is what everyone here says.I'll check back in with ya on friday.
YAY!!! That's awesome news =) Congrats on the pump! Definately keep us informed! Happy Pumping =D
How exciting! Before you know it, you won't have to read the manual to do all the things you need to do. I'm sure you're testing a lot in the first few days.
Yeah, I started pumping for the first time in my life 2 weeks ago - actually it's been 16 days. During those 16 days I've tested 221 times! I'm hoping to scale it back to a more reasonable 10 tests a day pretty soon.
I get my Ping training this Friday. I'm a little excited but also a little nervous. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to pick up.

Picture: Jenna Von Oy OK! Magazine And BritWeek Celebrate The Oscars at The London Hotel West Hollywood, California - 25.02.11
Actress Jenna Von Oy is "ecstatic" after giving birth to a baby daughter in Nashville, Tennessee on Monday (21May12).
The former Blossom star and her husband Brad Bratcher are now proud parents to Gray Audrey - and von Oy admits motherhood is a dream come true.
She tells People.com, "Brad and I are, of course, ecstatic she's here and we are madly in love with her already. It's truly unimaginable how quickly she wrapped us around her little finger! We are exhausted, but enjoying every moment of it, as every moment she's doing something new and memorable."
Von Oy reveals the new arrival came early - her due date was in June (12) - and with a full head of hair.
The star adds, "She has an incredible amount of hair! So much so that the hospital nurses washed it, brushed it, and put a bow in it on the first day! We know kids a year old who don't have half the amount of hair our daughter had at birth!"

Midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is unlikely to be involved in Saints' trip to Brighton tonight – but only because of fitness reasons.
Saints visit the Amex Stadium this evening for their penultimate friendly of the summer, with French star Schneiderlin back among the squad after returning to Southampton this week.
The 24-year-old is unhappy after being informed that he will not be allowed to leave St Mary's, like Rickie Lambert, Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Calum Chambers before him.
Schneiderlin issued a message via Twitter on Tuesday night, saying the "amazing journey"
he had been on with Saints in the last six years had been "destroyed".
That followed a meeting that is understood to have taken place with the club's board, in which he was informed he would not be sold.
Chairman Ralph Krueger also told the Daily Echo that neither Schneiderlin nor fellow Tottenham target Jay Rodriguez would be allowed to depart.
Schneiderlin reported to the club's training ground as normal yesterday morning, where he spoke with Koeman.
It was alleged in some sections of the media that he had also handed in a transfer request, although sources at St Mary's and close to Schneiderlin indicated that was not true.
As far as the club is concerned, Schneiderlin, left, remains available to be used as manager Ronald Koeman sees fit, after being informed he is an integral part of the Dutchman's plans for the campaign.
However, having only just started his preseason preparations, after a late return date due to his involvement with the France squad that reached the quarter- finals of the World Cup, Schneiderlin is unlikely to be ready for action this evening.
Saints boss Koeman will make a final decision today on whether he will travel, though.
Tonight's fixture promises to be Saints' toughest test of preseason so far, against a Brighton side that reached the Championship playoffs last term.
Saints have already played games against Dutch amateurs EHC Hoensbroek, Belgian minnows Sporting Hasselt, League One outfit Swindon Town and Championship team Bournemouth – winning all four games without conceding a goal.
After tonight's match, the only game left on the schedule before the Premier League kicks-off is a meeting with German club Bayer Leverkusen at St Mary's on Saturday, August 9.

Expert publishing blog opinions are solely those of the blogger and not necessarily endorsed by DBW.
Did opponents of SOPA throw the baby out with the bathwater? Cary H. Sherman, CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America, says yes in a recent New York Times op-ed piece.
Sherman asserts that Google, Wikipedia and other Web heavy-hitters cried "Censorship!" like shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater, and stampeded a gullible public and its government servants into reversing legislation that would have afforded some measure of protection to the victims of copyright piracy.
"Policy makers had recognized a constitutional (and economic) imperative to protect American property from theft, to shield consumers from counterfeit products and fraud, and to combat foreign criminals who exploit technology to steal American ingenuity and jobs," writes Sherman. "But at the 11th hour, a flood of e-mails and phone calls to Congress stopped the legislation in its tracks. Was this the result of democracy, or demagoguery?"
"Since when is it censorship to shut down an operation that an American court, upon a thorough review of evidence, has determined to be illegal?" the editorialist asks. "When the police close down a store fencing stolen goods, it isn't censorship, but when those stolen goods are fenced online, it is?"
Now there is no legislation in place except the joke known as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, piracy is out of control, and legitimate copyright owners are being stripped of their hard-earned livings by brazen thieves operating in broad daylight (See A Bootleg E-Book Bazaar Operates in Plain Sight)
Sherman urges the Web minions who lead the charge against SOPA to do the right thing and listen to the voices of the victims. "Perhaps this is naïve, but I'd like to believe that the companies that opposed SOPA and PIPA will now feel some responsibility to help come up with constructive alternatives. Virtually every opponent acknowledged that the problem of counterfeiting and piracy is real and damaging. It is no longer acceptable just to say no."
That's a motion we're ready to second.

Buffalo man who broke into Poloncarz's home sentenced to eight years in prison
Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz on Tuesday told the man who broke into his parked vehicle and his Buffalo home last summer while he slept that he hopes he can turn his life around.
The county executive, who spoke before Avello Pena was sentenced to eight years in prison for the burglary, noted that the 23-year-old defendant still has most of his life before him.
"I hope he thinks about where he wants his life to go," Poloncarz told Erie County Judge Michael L. D'Amico, noting that many people are able turn their lives around after they get out of prison.
Poloncarz said the county spends a lot of money on incarcerating people but also provides funding for education and training programs to help people get jobs.
Pena, of Richmond Avenue, pleaded guilty in December to second-degree burglary and petit larceny. He admitted taking money and a baseball bat from the vehicle and then entering Poloncarz's Delaware Avenue residence, armed with the bat, at about 5:30 a.m. June 17.
The county executive said he was awakened by the sound of someone breaking in, called police and then yelled twice at the burglar to get out of his house. The burglar fled with the bat. Police saw Pena running with the bat and arrested him a short time later.
Poloncarz said he was initially angry about the burglary and had a home security system installed.
"But you can never get back the feeling you had before the sanctity of your home was violated," he told the judge.
Noting that Pena entered the home with the bat he took from the county executive's car, Poloncarz said that fortunately Pena never had the opportunity to use it against him. "This is a serious crime," he said. "It could have been worse for both of us."
He urged Pena to consider what he had done and to realize that the mistake he made that morning was not the fact that he had been caught but the fact that he had broken into his home.
After the sentencing, Assistant District Attorney Paul Parisi returned the bat and other items taken in the burglary to the county executive outside the courtroom.
Pena's attorney, Frank L. Bybel, asked the judge to impose the minimum prison sentence of seven years. Nobody was attacked during the break-in, and Pena realizes he made a mistake, Bybel said.
Pena apologized to the county executive and thanked him for "his elegant words."
He said that at the time of the crime, he was on his way home but didn't know where he was. Prosecutors said witnesses indicated that Pena had been drinking that morning.
"I am ready to change my life and get through my vices and become a contributing member of society," Pena told the judge.
D'Amico said burglaries normally don't get a lot of media coverage but are serious crimes. "You invaded someone's home," he told Pena. "That's a violent crime."
D'Amico sentenced Pena as a second violent felony offender, noting that he was convicted in 2011 of second-degree assault for shooting someone in the back and that he had fought with police as they arrested him in the Poloncarz burglary after a foot chase.
Pena had faced a maximum prison term of 15 years.
Outside the courtroom, Poloncarz said he was satisfied with the eight-year prison sentence, given the sentencing range of seven to 15 years.

Transcripts: Dustin JohnsonJanuary 08, 2013
MORE INTERVIEWS: Hyundai TOC transcripts archive
CHRIS REIMER: We want to congratulate and welcome Dustin Johnson, winner of the 2013 Hyundai Tournament of Champions and first winner of the PGA TOUR season. Four‑stroke victory, but you had your moments out there where it looked like you might stumble a little, and you just would fight right back. Talk about the win today and what it means to get the victory.
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well, it means a lot. I've had a few leads at PGA TOUR events, and it means a lot today, especially for my confidence, and just for all the things I've been working on and all the hard work I've put in.
It definitely got close out there today. Some times I hit a couple bad drives, but I was always able to bounce back and do what I needed to do to stay out front.
Q. (What was going through your head on 13).
DUSTIN JOHNSON: I mean, I don't know what was going through my head. Obviously I was mad. I just hit a terrible drive.
I knew that I needed to ‑‑ it was close with Strick. I knew he was in the fairway and he was going to hit a good shot. I knew I needed to at least‑‑ I was trying to get a par putt. I hit the shot, I thought I could actually get it out and then I couldn't get it out. Then just hit it up there on the green and actually made a pretty good 2‑putt for double.
But yeah, walking off that tee, I wasn't too happy with myself. There's a lot of things I could have done different on that hole that would have saved me a lot of frustration, but you know, I've been driving it really well all week. Just unfortunately that was probably the worst swing I made all day and it cost me a couple shots.
CHRIS REIMER: Steve talked about on the next hole about pulling driver right back out on 14 and what a big shot that was, and talk about that decision to hit driver.
DUSTIN JOHNSON: I hit driver‑‑ who knows, in the two rounds I played yesterday, and hit good shots. It's a hole that I like to hit driver on.
You know, obviously I just made a really poor swing with the driver on the last hole but I stride to block that out of my mind and focus on my target and where I wanted to hit that drive. I hit a really good drive up there just short of the green and hit a great chip. Chipped it right in.
Q. What was your biggest shot?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: The chip on 14 was definitely the biggest shot. Maybe the drive; the drive set it up all. I hit a great drive right at the flag which came up just short, and I had a really easy pitch. Fortunate to hit a great pitch and went right in the middle.
Q. Inaudible.
DUSTIN JOHNSON: It was nowhere near ho‑hum. I had to really fight hard. Got off to a good start. I was really pleased with 3‑under through eight, because for some reason, I think for me, the front plays tougher than the back.
3‑under through 8, obviously I'm thinking I'm going to birdie 9, and then just made a God‑awful swing at a driver. Hit it in the right bushes.
But I came back on the next and hit a good drive and hit it on the green and 2‑putt for bogey. So I wasn't too bad. I was a little bit frustrated with that swing I made with the driver. But that's another hole where it cost me a couple shots just making a poor swing.
Q. Standing over thaton 13 ‑‑
DUSTIN JOHNSON: No, I mean, I really expected him to make it. When Steve is standing over a putt, you kind of always expect it to go in. He hit a lot of great putts today that didn't go in and could have made it a lot closer. But obviously I hit a couple of drives that if I had driven it in the fairway, it's really not going to be that close.
Q. And if‑‑
DUSTIN JOHNSON: There's a lot of ifs in golf.
Q. There are a lot of players that try to figure out how to handle double‑bogeys in the final round when they are leading. What is it in your makeup that allows to you do that?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well, I've done it enough times that it doesn't really bother me anymore (laughter). I've been in this situation enough now and I've made enough double‑bogeys in my life, that, you know, it's just another hole, and you've got a lot more holes to go where you can make it up.
Fortunately today I made a double and then the next hole I made eagle. That definitely was the turning point of the day, because walking off 13, I was like, oh, no, here it goes again.
But I came right back, focused and hit two great shots.
Q. Inaudible.
DUSTIN JOHNSON: I didn't really have any anxiety. It was actually kind of nice. I really didn't even hit a golf shot until yesterday. Having a late tee time, we got a little bit lucky, because the other guys were the guinea pigs that went out on the course and figured out that it wasn't playable. We were in the clubhouse watching kind of laughing a little bit at some of the stuff that was going on (laughter).
Q. Knowing your potential, what in your view is your potential?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: I mean, you know, I played three really good rounds this week. But I still don't think I've lived up to my potential. Obviously this week I did. I played really well. But still made some mistakes. But you're always going to make some mistakes. Just limiting those will definitely help, and then for me, just making some better decisions. If I keep playing golf like I'm playing right now, then, you know, obviously there is no limit.
Q. If you had to do it all over again on 13‑‑
DUSTIN JOHNSON: On 13, if I had it to do over, I definitely would not hit driver.
Q. Inaudible.
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well, there are certain situations where it's okay for me, but on that hole, I get a 3‑iron and 8‑iron on the green, I probably should have just hit a 3‑iron right down the fairway and hit a little 8‑iron on the green, because it's a tough hole. Whether I have a driver down there and I've got a sand wedge, it's still hard to get it close to the hole. So I should have just hit 3‑iron, 8‑iron, 2‑putted and gone to the next hole and hit my driver up there.
But, in the situation, and for me, I wasn't really thinking like that. But now this next week, I will be thinking like that.
Q. Inaudible.
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well, there's situations you can always make‑‑ there's some situations where you can just play a smarter shot, like on that hole where it's a tough hole, anyways. It doesn't really‑‑ it's not really an advantage for me to hit a driver up there, because it really doesn't help.
So on a hole like that, you know, 9, I'm always going to hit driver. But on that hole, you know, I could have hit a 3‑iron today. Would have been a smarter shot and I probably would have made 4.
Q. 14 you would have played the same?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Oh, yeah. I hit it good, I just hit it really slow. I hit it exactly how I wanted to. Yesterday I hit the same exact shot, just a little higher in the air and got right on the front.
Q. (Regarding assist by Stricker in searching for golf ball).
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well, golf is a gentleman's game, and so we always help each other look for balls. Especially if you need it, and so obviously that was nice of him. But generally you go help your partner or your playing partner find his ball.
But once I actually found it, I had a terrible lie. I was just trying to get it out in the rough and where I could hit it at the green. But I didn't swing hard enough and it didn't come out.
Q. Your thoughts on going to Waialae next week?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: No, I like that golf course. I've played well there the couple times I've played it. It's a golf course that fits my eye pretty well. Here where I hit driver on every hole; and there, I really don't hit many drivers.
Q. Inaudible.
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah, Steve's a great player, he's a world‑class guy, and I always enjoy playing golf with him. We had a pretty good battle out there today. He had a few putts he could have made and I had a few shots I could have saved.
But you know, you could tell that his hip was bothering him a little bit, but I don't think it bothered him when he was swinging. It was more when he was walking.
Q. Did you have any kind of‑‑
DUSTIN JOHNSON: No. I wish, but no.
Q. Inaudible.
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well, at the time I didn't even think about it. I was hitting driver and I never even thought about hitting another club. So I was focused and I had just made birdie. I hit driver yesterday, though, both times. So I never even thought about not hitting driver.
Q. Can you think of another course in the world‑‑
DUSTIN JOHNSON: This course I really enjoy playing. It's a lot of fun. Like I said, you can hit driver on every hole. It's wide open, too, for the most part. You can find some bushes every once in awhile.
But yeah, it's a lot of fun. The par 5s are reachable. You've got a few holes that you can drive it up there close to the green and then there's a few holes that are just really hard.
CHRIS REIMER: Up by the green and as you were getting ready to putt for the victory, there was a lot of people standing around, a lot of the members of the media and folks were saying, he's going to get to No.2 in the world, this is going to be a great year for him. At the end of the year; you've won now the beginning, but at the end of the year, what is your ideal?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: For me, I don't really look ahead that far. I kind of go week‑to‑week. I'm looking at next week where I want to go in and play three good round and then contend on Sunday for another victory. That's my goal.
And then for this year, I don't really look at goals like that. I kind of‑‑ there's some things that I need to improve in my game, and if I do, that then the rest will fall into place.
CHRIS REIMER: We are going to try to get them to make it a 54‑hole event.
DUSTIN JOHNSON: If they want to do that, I'll be very happy.
I don't know, I mean, one of them, the first victory of 54 holes was at Pebble where they just cancelled the last round. We couldn't play.
Then the other one was at The Barclays at Plainfield. They told us on Friday that Saturday is the last day, we've got to get out of here.
And then this was another week where they told us it was going to be 54 holes. I don't know what it is, though. I guess I've just got a good 54‑hole vibe.
CHRIS REIMER: Be ready for the Champions Tour.
DUSTIN JOHNSON: I will be. I've got a long way to go but I will be ready for the Champions Tour.

Want To Ensure Your Personal Android Data Is Truly Wiped? Just Turn On Encryption Then Reset
Avast's self-serving study was to promote its Anti-Theft app available on Google Play. The free app comes with a wipe feature that overwrites all files, thereby making them invisible to casual recovery methods, such as the many undelete utilities that are all over the web. That's one approach.
There's another solution that's incredibly easy and doesn't require downloading and installing anything. Before you sell your Android phone on eBay, Craigslist, or wherever, enable encryption and wait for it to encrypt its storage. After that, perform a wipe and reset as normal, which will obliterate the encryption key and ensure the data on your device can't be read.
Not all versions of Android support encryption, and if yours doesn't, you'll need to download an app that will do it for you. Assuming you own a relatively modern Android phone, you need to setup a lock screen PIN before you can proceed. You'll find that option by going to Settings > Security > Screen Lock > PIN.
Depending on your device, you may find the encryption option in the Security screen. On an HTC One, you need to navigate to Storage > Phone storage encryption. Before you proceed, you need to keep some things in mind. First, you can't reverse this process. The only way to go back is to perform a factory reset. Secondly, you may notice that your phone runs slightly slower. And finally, be sure that your phone is plugged in before you proceed -- encryption can take an hour or more.

text: Listening to the President's remarks on Japan today, I was reminded of something that nags at me most of the times I hear him speak: what's the rush? Does he have something else to do? "Golf," you say, you cynical partisan, you. Okay. Besides golf. We all know he's capable of good set-piece oratory, but when it comes to important moments like the Japanese speech, there's a flat phoned-in quality you wouldn't expect from the greatest orator in American history. Why? Because he's not talking about himself, perhaps. When it's a campaign speech to rouse the base or rally the masses, well, as the song says, this one goes out to the one I love. Even the Tucson speech could fit in that category, since he no doubt regarded Healer-in-Chief as a position appropriately for the nation's top lightworker, but when it comes to these briefings and statements, his heart's not in it. Not to say you want someone emoting every line – no. Stoic is good. But he reads the prepared text with a flat inflection, a predictable cadence, a rote habitual downward inflection; it's the choppy read of a run-through, scanned for content, not for impact. Either he's disengaged from the material, or this is his Serious Person Voice. I don't know. I do know that he sounds like this is somehow an imposition, a thing to be gotten over with. It doesn't sound like a man who knows how to lead. It sounds like a man disengaged from the very moment he's attempting to shape.

DEBTORS in Castle Point could face hundreds of pounds in charges if caught out owing council tax.
Bailiffs are being scrapped in place of new enforcement agents as part of major changes being bought in for the way debts are collected from April 6.
Under new Government regulations, enforcement agents will charge a debtor £75 on receiving a court order from the council to chase owed tax.
They will then try to contact the person to either get payment in full or set up a payment arrangement.
If they are unsuccessful and agents have to visit the debtor they will incur a further £235.
Pam Challis, leader of Castle Point Council, said: "The new fees are high but at least people will be aware of what they will be charged if they owe Council Tax or any other debt that has to be collected by an enforcement agent."
Council tax dodgers are being warned not to get caught out by the increased fees and to contact the council as soon as possible to make payment arrangements.
Mrs Challis added: "If they do not do so by April 6 they will find themselves subject to the new fee structure if their case is placed in the hands of the enforcement agents."
Residents could also face a £70 penalty if they do not make the council aware of any changes to their circumstances which could affect how much council tax they have to pay.
Mrs Challis is urging residents to check any reductions shown on their council tax bills when they arrive in March to see if it's correct as checks will be carried out throughout the year.

The parent of a middle school student in Temecula is asserting that school administrators used a 14-year-old special education student as "bait" in an on-campus drug sting against his parents' wishes, according to a claim filed earlier this week against the Temecula Valley Unified School District.
"I'm all for let's get drugs out of our school," the boy's mother said by phone. "I'm the first to say that. But you can't go about it illegally, and to use a special education student or even a general education student to do drug stings, that's so reckless.
"It's reckless and dangerous."
The woman -- who asked that her eighth-grade son not be identified out of fear for his safety -- said her son notified her in December that the school's principal and assistant principal planned his involvement in a sting meant to catch a classmate who was suspected of selling drugs on campus.
A quick phone call to the school revealed he was telling the truth, the woman said.
"I said absolutely not; my husband and I were not comfortable with that," she said. "This is putting him in danger and in a negative light. I couldn't even believe I was having this conversation."
The woman said she instructed her son not to participate.
The next day, the woman said she received a call from the school relaying that the "sting" went off without a hitch -- despite her telling the school that she did not want her son involved.
Melanie Norton, Temecula Valley Unified's spokeswoman, said the district is reviewing the claim, but did not comment further.
The family's claim -- a precursor to a lawsuit -- is seeking an unspecified amount in damages because the "school administration's outrageous, reckless, illegal and egregious conduct has caused the minor student anxiety and severe emotional distress and has labeled him a 'snitch' amongst his peers and placed him in a very dangerous position on campus and in the community."
The claim is the second known claim filed against the district in as many weeks concerning special education students involved in drug stings.
The parents of a Chaparral High School student with autism asserted in a claim that the district knowingly allowed their then-17-year-old son to be harassed by a deputy trying to buy marijuana from the student shortly after his transfer into a new school, which he ultimately did.
An administrative law judge has since overturned the district's attempts to expel the student.
The newest claim says the 14-year-old boy has been threatened with physical violence since his involvement in the sting, which the mother said involved the principal watching from a different location as the boy attempted to buy marijuana from a classmate.
The boy's mother is irate.
"How can you use my child in such a way? How will you protect my child now that he is being threatened?"
She added: "It was bad enough that they put our son in danger, but we specifically said, 'No, absolutely not.' They acted like that conversation never even happened."
The woman said repeated attempts to meet with Superintendent Tim Ritter have been unsuccessful.
"We want accountability somewhere," the mother said. "We don't want this to happen to another child. The administration needs to take responsibility for these things happening in our school."

Learning to labour
Posted on | August 1, 2010 | 2 Comments
To anyone who might be interested, there is a brief summary of last year's State of the Industry conference in this month's NTEU Advocate. I have no idea how many readers of this blog are union members, and it's debatable whether the conference would have generated more applications to join, so I thought it might be worth pointing out. Thanks to Jen Kwok for asking me to write something (in lieu of what would have been a far more depressing report about HASS on the Hill last year…)
Chris's comment prompts me to write a little more about academic labour in the lead up to the anniversary of this event. A number of people have been asking my advice about postdoctoral fellowships at Sydney, and I have been quite honest in offering caution to those thinking of applying. Increasingly I don't subscribe to the view that smart people should spend untold hours writing proposals for grants with an insanely small success rate, just as I don't ever want to contribute to delusional ideas about open fields for applications. In the current operating environment, universities only favour particular kinds of work. As one of my correspondents put it – showing a ruthless pragmatism that is itself symptomatic of the state of the industry – there is much to be said for minimising the pyschological damage in desiring opportunities that are actually "out of reach for all sorts of inscrutable reasons".
I was reminded of this when reading Nina Power's article, Axiomatic Equality: Rancière and the politics of contemporary education (thanks to edu-factory for the link). Amidst her elegant reading of Rancière, Jacotot, Bourdieu, and others, comes this insight on the British system:
The supposedly elite institutions are still there at the top, the old-boys and girls networks still churning out elite fodder for the same kinds of jobs – politics, diplomacy, high-end culture industry work, etc. At the same time, the expansion of higher education and the re-branding of ex-Polytechnics as universities in the UK has created a situation in which no one need be excluded. It is no longer a question of keeping them out, but of ensuring they go where they are supposed to.
This relates to some other articles I was sifting through this afternoon, which add to Power's observations about the economic changes affecting university life:
fees have created a kind of split-subject of the university: the "client" who pays for a service and yet is still a subject "supposed to be criticized" or even failed. Endless feedback forms, along the lines of customer satisfaction surveys, entail that students are supposed to know how well that which they don't yet know is being conveyed. We could call this "the subject supposed to know how it will know what it doesn't yet know."
It's 18 months since I started working full time at the University of Sydney, and 12 months since I began a teaching position. Power's article, and the further sources I've been mulling over the past few hours, slightly minimise my shock – still fresh from a staff meeting announcement on Friday – that my university is now embarking on a cost-benefit analysis of its units. This audit, which asks staff to tally the amount of preparation time for courses offered in 2008, will have who knows what consequences. But it's another example of the forms of value currently dominant where I work.
This week I have been asked to present at a "Career Planning" workshop for "Early Career Researchers", which will involve me speaking for 10 minutes about my "career pathway" to a room of my peers. I'm the person speaking as an example of the Postdoc to Tenure path, I suppose; the other two speakers will talk about the challenges of taking on administrative roles immediately post-PhD (X became Chair of his department upon submission of his thesis) and entering academia as a career change following other professional experience (Y was a journo and came to Sydney from a more teaching-intensive university).
The mere fact that this kind of session is conceived – as part of a package of "Learning Solutions" for personal and professional challenges – is a sign that Sydney is a leading university. Career training sessions, indeed the ongoing fantasy that one might have the luxury of planning a career, comes straight out of the management textbook. Yet it's a major incentive to join the competitive queue to enter research active universities, even when the reality of the training sessions may counteract the intent.
The irony that will need to be downplayed on Friday is that given the competition for Go8 jobs, Sydney University ECRs are already likely to have shown more career productivity than many non-metro "MCRs" and even Professors. For me, this was one of the stand-out lessons from the State of the Industry conference. What we're dealing with is as much a geographical divide as a generational one.
Well, I'll report back on the session later in the week.

Thankyou for this! As ever! You've crystallised the structure of feeling for many folks contemplating labours going out from the PhD.
I'm often confused by the difference between what I might want to do with the qualification (as a marker of a whole bunch of things), what I am supposed to want (and all the things I should do in order to possibly-maybe-if-I'm-good-enough make that happen) and what I need to do in order to have enough money to live and enough time to do the things that I believe in.

The City of Johannesburg has defended its decision to reject the ANC Johannesburg caucus' call for m.
Over the past year, Absa Capital has provided R8.3-billion worth of credit commitments for renewable energy projects.
The announcement comes at a time when South Africa tries to move towards renewable energy.
Last month, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said the government had approved infrastructure plans amounting to R845-billion over the next three years, of which under R300-billion would be spent in the energy sector.
Currently, 75% of the country's electricity is generated from coal, which still needs to grow.
Marcel de Klerk, Absa's head of business markets said: "It is for this reason that Absa has launched this loan facility to promote medium to large energy efficiency and clean production investments, with a minimum of R10-million and a maximum of R100-million, specifically within the South African market."
He said Absa had dedicated an energy finance committee, which would consider the eligibility of projects that may qualify for the concessionary benefit.
Projects will include those pertaining to improving existing installations and renewable energy investments, encompassing power generation for own consumption or for sale to the national grid.
De Klerk said Absa would predominantly be focussing on its existing clients who are either entering into energy efficiency or renewable energy projects.
"In this way, we intend rewarding those clients who embark on significant energy saving projects," he said.
AFD's deputy-director in Johannesburg, Damien Navizet, said energy-efficient investments were too often lagging behind due to lack of financing, which had further delayed the development of a local green industry and the creation of "green" jobs.
"It is critical that banks understand both the risks and financial merits of clean energy and energy efficient projects, so that they are willing to create new lines of business to assist owners of such projects," Navizet said

The development of Ian Kennedy
|Ian Kennedy (Icon/SMI)
In a few years, trading away Jesus Montero might be hurt Yankees fans the most, but for now the loss of Ian Kennedy can't feel too good. Sure, Curtis Granderson turned into a 40-homer hitter in 2011 and the Yankees added Michael Pineda and signed Hiroki Kuroda. But for any other team, the loss would have hurt a lot more.
Kennedy was a very solid prospect and graded a B+ according to John Sickels in his 2008 season. In the minors he dominated at each level including Triple-A where he finished with an ERA of 2.14, a K/BB of 3.74 in 126.1 innings. His strikeouts and walks looked ready to dominate and he got his first chance in 2007 with the Yankees.
His sudden success was a bit of luck as his K/9 was only 7.11 and he walked too many hitters with a BB/9 of 4.26. His ERA looked sparkling at 1.86, but his BABIP was only .231 and his HR/FB only 3.7 percent. His xFIP of 4.86 and SIERA of 4.98 spoke of potential problems, but with only 19 innings he looked forward to 2008 to prove himself.
Things did not go well in 2008 when Kennedy got blasted to start the year with an ERA of 8.17 as his luck seemed to even out. In 39.2 innings his K/9 was only 6.13 and he had a BB/9 of 5.90. Then he strained his right lat muscle and would pitch only two more innings in 2008, and one in 2009 as he suffered an aneurism in his shoulder and missed nearly the entire season.
The injuries along with the struggles through nearly 60 innings led to Kennedy's exit from New York as he was moved in the three team trade involving Curtis Granderson. The first season, Kennedy adjusted well with his K/9 climbing to 7.79 and seemed able to control his walks better with a BB/9 of 3.25. The best news was his ability to stay healthy as he totaled 194 innings and his velocity held all season long.
His career was back on track and he looked like a solid middle of the rotation guy for the Diamondbacks. His xFIP of 4.10 and SIERA at 3.99 confirmed Kennedy was a solid option in the D-backs rotation. His large jump in innings might have been a concern, but it was hard not to be optimistic.
In 2011 Kennedy was able to develop even more. His velocity stayed up and even increased as the year went on. Looking at the velocity chart below you can see his average velocity increased after the midpoint of the season.
|Ian Kennedy Velocity Chart
With this increased velocity Kennedy was not only able to get better as the season went on. Here is his month by month splits for 2011:
Split K/9 BB/9 K/BB K% BB% FIP xFIP Mar/Apr 7.38 2.08 3.56 20.00% 5.60% 3.23 3.58 May 6.86 2.88 2.38 18.90% 7.90% 3.64 4.04 Jun 8.27 1.95 4.25 22.70% 5.30% 3.4 3.22 Jul 8.53 2.84 3 22.40% 7.50% 3.72 3.47 Aug 7.85 2.08 3.78 21.30% 5.60% 3.79 3.8 Sept/Oct 9.61 1.56 6.17 28.00% 4.60% 1.41 2.75
Kennedy was able to maintain his strikeouts, limit his walks and even do his best work in September. There seemed to be an additional effect during his late season run as his fastball was increasingly classified as a sinker according to the new Brooks baseball player card. If you look up at his velocity chart above you'll see a large spike in grey and less black in the last grouping. It looks like his fastball added some movement as the velocity is the same for both, but the sinker has more vertical movement as well as horizontal movement. According to Brooks he went from throwing the sinker eight percent of the time before August of 2011 to 23 percent of the time for the rest of 2011.
I would have expected more ground balls at the end of the year with this new sinker, but that hasn't been the case yet. His groundball rate for the season was 38 percent and fell to 33 percent in August and 35 percent in September. It's possible instead of this being a true "sinker" there was some change as his release point fell slightly throughout the year as you can see below. This might explain the large sudden jump from eight to 23 percent.
|Ian Kennedy vertical release
A drop in release point can be concerning, but I wouldn't be too worried yet. He maintained his velocity and control throughout the entire season. Watching his arm slot and sinker classification will be interesting. The fact that this was such a large change and came all so suddenly makes it all the more interesting.
Kennedy was one of the 10 best pitchers in 2011 with a fWAR of 5.0. His OLIVER projection (Hardball Times Forecasts) calls for another great season in 2012 with an ERA of 3.25, 201 strikeouts, 63 walks and a WAR of 5.3. It looks like health is the only thing that can stop Kennedy now and with one more healthy season, he could put the title of injury-prone pitcher behind him.

I am very thankful that I have been invited to the European Space Operations Center in Darmstadt to join the official launch event for the ESA Gaia mission. Here are some pictures. All in all it was a very cool event, although it was more press than science oriented.

Gaia Launch Postponed
Thats bad news: http://blogs.esa.int/gaia/2013/10/22/gaia-launch-postponed/
I heard through the grapevine that the new launch window opens in mid December.
Now ESA officially tells about the reasons:
Yesterday, the decision was taken to postpone the launch of ESA's Gaia mission after a technical issue was identified in another satellite already in orbit. Gaia shares some of the components involved in this technical issue and prompt notification of this problem has allowed engineers working on the final preparations for Gaia's launch to take additional precautionary measures. The issue concerns components used in two transponders on Gaia that generate 'timing signals' for downlinking the science telemetry. To avoid potential problems, they will be replaced. The transponders will be removed from Gaia at Kourou and returned to Europe, where the potentially faulty components will be replaced and verified. After the replacements have been made, the transponders will be refitted to Gaia and a final verification test made. As a consequence of these precautionary measures, it will not be possible to launch Gaia within the window that includes the previously targeted launch date of 20 November. The next available launch window is 17 December to 5 January 2014. More details will be given as soon as they are available. The new launch date will be announced when the timeline for completing the additional work has been confirmed and the overall launch manifest of Arianespace has been established.

This is the target version of neutrogena oil free makeup remover. Although the ingredients are the exact same, they are different. The neutrogena one is more oily and the target one is slightly more watery feeling. the target one gets the job done but for just $2 more I would get the neutrogena one again because I found it more effective. This doesn't sting my eyes nor does the neutrogena one.
I don't mind the neutrogena one being super oily because my main method of makeup/ss removal is using baby oil as a pre cleanse. I use this when I need to redo makeup mid day or wore light makeup & a ss that comes off easily. :)

Dear Friends:
The life of a soldier is not easy. Often times you are expected to leave your friends, family or career at a moment's notice and travel to unfamiliar environments facing dangerous situations. The life of a soldier's family is not easy either as they are left to carry on and worry in the soldier's absence.
Since entering Congress, I have made veterans and their families a focus of my work in our nation's capital. Our troops and veterans serve our country with distinction and I believe it is our duty to honor them and make sure they have the services they need to succeed.
Last week in the House of Representatives, I helped pass H.R. 5854, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, which appropriates funds for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs and related agencies for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2013. H.R. 5854 passed the House of Representatives with an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote of 407 to 12 and must now be considered by the Senate.
Throughout my time in Congress, I have worked to help pass many pieces of legislation that have put our troops and veterans first. I helped pass the largest investment in veterans' health care funding in the history of the VA, worked to modernize the GI Bill for the first time in over 20 years to help cover the cost of college and allow soldiers and veterans to transfer these education benefits to their spouses and children, and ensured our Reserve and National Guard soldiers also qualified for this new college benefit when they return from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Additionally, since I came to Congress, we have provided a 70 percent increase in funding for veterans' health care and benefits, over 10,200 new claims processors to reduce VA case backlogs, 18,000 new doctors and nurses, 145 new community-based vet outpatient clinics, and 92 new vet centers. The Fiscal Year 2013 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations bill continues that commitment to our nation's veterans by ensuring the VA is able to provide quality medical care to more than 6.3 million patients in 2013, including 610,000 veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.
This legislation also provides funding for the ongoing effort to create an integrated electronic health record that transitions from an individual's active service in the military to the VA, includes funds for VA homeless assistance programs and homeless veterans' treatment costs. It also provides funding for mental health programs -- including post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide prevention.
Unfortunately, many veterans in our rural communities are often geographically deprived of access to a local VA facility. This legislation appropriates the funds necessary to continue improving access and quality of care for the more than 3 million veterans residing in rural areas.
We owe our freedoms and way of life to our veterans and we must always recognize and thank them for their service. I will continue to fight for the needs and concerns of the nearly 60,000 veterans in Arkansas's Fourth Congressional District and to those men and women in uniform currently serving throughout the world.
No soldier or veteran should ever be left behind by his or her government. Politics and partisanship should never be a factor in our support for American veterans or troops. On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no veteran behind. This day and every day, let us honor their service with actions that fulfill our commitment to our troops, their families and our veterans.
