Big inning bites D-backs in finale loss
Big inning bites D-backs in loss
Monday's 6-3 loss to the Padres at PETCO Park was just another example as San Diego posted a four-run fifth to send Arizona back to the desert with a 3-4 record for the trip.
"It's unfortunate because we played better than a sub-.500 trip," D-backs manager A.J. Hinch said. "There were a few innings each game that ended up really spoiling some pretty good baseball. On some level, it's the at-bats they put together against us, and on some level, we take responsibility. The multiple runs in innings is always a crushing blow to a team."
They certainly were for the D-backs this past week. To recap:
Last Tuesday, the D-backs led 5-1 before allowing the Dodgers to score five runs in the eighth as LA won, 6-5.
On Saturday night, the D-backs led the Padres, 2-0, before allowing six runs in the sixth in what turned out to be a 6-4 San Diego win.
On Sunday, the D-backs led 6-1 in the ninth before the Padres rallied to tie it with a five-spot that included a three-run homer by David Eckstein. Arizona eventually won the game, 9-6, in 18 innings.
Then, of course, there was Monday night, when a 2-0 lead evaporated with a four-run fifth inning by San Diego.
The D-backs gave Jon Garland the 2-0 lead in the fourth when Gerardo Parra scored on an error and Josh Whitesell singled home Chris Snyder.
Though he was not pinpoint with his command, Garland did manage to get through the first four innings without allowing a run.
"I felt pretty good," said Garland, who fell to 4-6. "I was going out, attacking the zone, trying to get as deep as I can after yesterday's melee."
In the fifth, with two runs already having crossed the plate, Garland faced Kevin Kouzmanoff with two outs and the bases loaded.
Garland fired a fastball on the outer edge of the plate that Kouzmanoff went the other way with and lined into right for a two-run single and a 4-2 San Diego lead.
"You know, I was truthfully shocked that he stayed on the ball that well after going inside the at-bat before," Garland said. "But he did a great job staying on it and he put it in play and it worked out for him."
Kouzmanoff gave the Padres some insurance in the seventh when he hit a ball past Eric Byrnes in left for a two-run double.
"He had to run a long way in a big gap," Hinch said of Byrnes. "I thought he had a good angle on it. I thought he was tracking it. It just eluded him. It's one of those plays it's a plus defensive play if you make it and it's tough to swallow if you don't. He had a good line on it and got a good jump on it and just couldn't come up with the ball."
Garland was asked after the game if he thought Byrnes should have made the catch.
"I think anything hit should be caught or fielded," he said with a laugh. "He had a long way to run for it. That's a question you'll have to ask him. He's an outfielder, I'm a pitcher. I know that ball should have been down better. He was able to put pretty good wood on it. Can't have it back now."
No, and the D-backs can't have their trip back either. Nor do they get to change their record to 4-3 or 5-2 just because they feel like they played better.
"As frustrating as it is, it's a building block," Hinch said. "But at the same time, guys want to see results and we need to win more games that we're supposed to. We keep playing good baseball. Obviously, we're in these games, we're playing better, we're playing with a little more bounce in our step. The next step is we need to win the games in which we're ahead, and we're going to work to do that."

On the morning of Sept. 11, the Pennsylvania State Police set up a "checkpoint" on the I-279 HOV lanes to catch and ticket motorists driving alone in these lanes, which have a two-occupant minimum during rush hour. The entirely predictable result: an insignificant number of people (about 60) got ticketed for an infraction that has little to no impact on traffic safety or the public good, while thousands of people heading to work got stuck in a 9-mile traffic backup in the southbound lanes of I-279 caused by rubbernecking at the checkpoint area.
The state police, of all agencies, should be keenly aware of the delays and dangerous driving situations that rubbernecking causes. In addition to causing inconvenience for all motorists, the conditions Wednesday -- a bumper-to-bumper backup, sudden stopping, distracted driving -- were ripe for traffic accidents and other problems. The state police exhibited extremely poor judgment by creating this dangerous traffic situation without a compelling public interest at stake.
According to PennDOT, the HOV lanes have been underutilized for their entire 25-year existence, carrying only 3 percent to 4 percent of the daily traffic volume of I-279. So, how about showing some common sense here? It is ludicrous to waste public resources to enforce the current underutilization of the HOV lanes. And it should be obvious that making traffic conditions worse and more dangerous for 97 percent of drivers in order to issue 60 tickets does not benefit the overall public interest.

A Dark and Stormy Afternoon: Round 5
(Previously on Nerd & Nerder.)
Category: Mystery
Given a choice of category, Ian suggested we try Mystery, to take advantage of my "mystery expertise."
"That's torn it!" said Lord Peter Wimsey.
"I'm more of a crime fiction guy than sleuthing," I protested. "You know, books with shotguns in them." Nonetheless, although the name Wimsey rang a bell, my guess of "Mortimer" proved to be a shot in the dark that went far wide of the mark.
Category: Children's Books
There was a boy named Milo who didn't know what to do with himself–not just sometimes, but always.
Again, the youth books wheelhouse. They had no problem whatsoever with this one by Just Norton, or Nort Juster, or whatever he's called.

Wenger: 'Nothing to lose' against Bayern
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claimed his side have "nothing to lose" in their Champions League re-match with Bayern Munich next February.
• McNicholas: Arsenal cannot afford to lose Sagna in January
Wenger's men will take on Bayern for the second season running in the last-16 of the Champions League, with their near miss in a tie against the eventual winners of last season's competition fuelling his hope that they can go one better this time.
Arsenal came close to overturning a 3-1 first leg lead as they beat Bayern 2-0 in Munich, but Wenger suggested the gap between the two sides may have tightened further since then.
"We have all to win and nothing to lose. We can show that we have moved forward since last season," Wenger told the Arsenal website.
"It is the same draw as last year and we have a good challenge. We have to be one goal better this time instead of being one goal worse and I believe it's an interesting challenge because we have an opportunity to show we have learned from it."
Wenger went on to suggest Bayern have deployed a more attacking style since Pep Guardiola replaced Jupp Heynckes last summer.
"We are different and they are different. How much different are they," he asked. "I don't know but they look to play a bit more adventurously and more going forward, and we do as well I must say.
"We certainly have more offensive potential with [Mesut] Ozil coming in and we have to find our defensive security back which we have lost over the weekend, but it will be a very interesting challenge."

NEW YORK (Jan. 16)
Support for a $4,000,000 program to provide 20,000 young people in Israel, North Africa and other areas with vocational training and secondary education in 1956 was voted here by the American ORT Federation at its annual conference last night at the Hotel Roosevelt. Dr. William Haber, president, announced that ORT would begin discussions with the Joint Distribution Committee this week for a financial allocation in support of these overseas activities.
During the past decade American Jews have made available the sum of $15,000,000 for ORT vocational services to over 200,000 persons in 19 countries. Dr. Haber reported. He stated that ORT would require increased sums for its work in the year ahead in order to meet emergencies abroad. He said that with the help of a U. S. Government grant of $50,000, ORT is establishing a network of ten trade schools for youngsters in immigrant settlements in Israel. These would be in addition to the present ORT program in Israel for 4,500 people annually.
Dr. Aron Syngalowski, chairman of the executive committee of the World ORT Union who arrived for the meeting from Switzerland reported on a recent survey of Jewish economic problems he had made in Morocco. Dr. Syngalowski observed that while Jewish emigration would undoubtedly continue for some time, it should not be equated with "evacuation." He foresaw that substantial Jewish communities would remain. The present status of the Moroccan Jewish population he found to be "dangerously weak" as a result of the backwardness of the methods and tools used by its artisans and the "over flow of petty merchants". He urged the necessity of immediate steps to "modernize" these economic activities and for funds for ORT implement its plans for economic education among these communities.
Philip M. Klutznick, president of Bnai B'rith, addressing the conference, said: You have heard a lot about the Atlantic Pact, the South East Asia Pact, the Bagdad Pact. But there is a more basic human pact that ties us one to another. The many differences that separate people can be blended and if need be submerged in the great task of building a better tomorrow. It is to the great credit of ORT that it has been able to adjust itself to the mores of different countries, recognizing that differences exist yet becoming a part of the community wherever it has taken root."

Dibley April 2012 Newsletter
04 12 Topic: Dibley Newsletter
The Class 40 is designed around an International Design Rule for a sea-oriented racing and cruising yacht with a maximum length of 40 feet. The original goal of the Class was to make offshore races accessible to amateur sailors, and in particular, short-handed. The success of the class in Europe has moved it beyond these parameters, with more and more professional sailors attracted to it.
Part of the attraction of this class is the simple and stringent box-rule, which keeps costs down. Building materials are limited and unlike the 'Open 40s', there is no canting keel, and there is some form of comfort down below. The layout shown has been designed for single handed sailing. All halyards and controls lead aft to the cockpit, and excellent cover is provided when in adverse conditions. Twin Rudders allow control at all times.
Like all of our designs, we can custom design to suit for the individual. Plans will be available to build overseas, or we can arrange for a builder in New Zealand.
Drop us an email with your wish list and we will send you further details.

Newton L. Lipsey was 68 years old when he applied to the state of Texas for a pension based on his service to the Confederate States of America. He was deeply grieved to discover that the official records listed him as a deserter. In the letter that follows, he defends his fidelity to the Southern cause and presents a record of remarkable service which began when he was only 18 years of age.
Greenville, Texas
August 13th 1913
Hon. Keizer [Geo. W. Kyser],
Commissioner of Pensions,
Austin, Texas
Dear Sir:
I beg to hand you my application for a pension filed by me many months ago and which was returned to me. I also hand you the report from Washington which shows that I was marked "deserter."
I have suffered no little since I learned that this word was placed after my name. Without boasting I want to say that no man ever served a cause more faithfully than did I--for I did my best. The facts are that I entered the service from South Carolina going into the Fifth South Carolina for one year and afterwards were organized into Palmeto Sharp Shooters and I was in Co A. I entered the service in April 1861 and helped take General Anderson out of Fort Sumpter. I remained in the service during all of the war. I was in First and Second battles of Manasas, the seven days fight at Richmond, the seven Pines Fight, Fredericksburg fight, Sharpsburg, Maryland, Chicamauga, I was at the Wilderness and the campaign from there until the end. In fact I was at all times with the army of Viginia, Longstreets Corps and Anderson's Division, Jenkins Brigade, Walkers Regiment. The only way I can account for this detested word to have been connected with my name is that on the retreat from Richmond our forces got divided and we were seperated from the main body. Perhaps there were as many as 1000 who got seperated and we tried to work our way around to Lynchberg and get to the main army. We never surrendered but when General Lee surrendered we were told to go home which we did. I carried my gun and was in the service until the last gun was fired. These are the facts and I beg of you to advise me as to what I can do to wipe out this stain some person has wrongfully placed there. I am growing old and I know no man ever served a cause more faithfully than I did and it is hard to learn that somewhere there was a record such as is shown on the slip of paper here inclosed from Washington. I will appreciate any advise. It is not so much for a pension now but to remove the stain placed against me. With kind regards, I am,
Yours truly.
N. L. Lipsey
Greenville, Texas
4121 Pickett St.
Mr. Lipsey made his original claim on August 28, 1911. It was
In 1913, he wrote the letter, above, which was accompanied by several testimonies by community leaders and other veterans.
He was subsequently granted a pension from the State of Texas effective December 1913.
Mr. Lipsey died May 18, 1933, in Greenville.
Can you help us make a connection to this old soldier?
We feel certain that Newton L. Lipsey is part of one of the Southern Lipsey lines that we're tracing:
If you have any information about this line, and especially his father, Charles, we would love to hear from you. You'll find our e-mail address on the opening page of this site. Thank you!
Note (30 September 2001): We are indebted to John J. Armstrong for a great deal of additional information on this line, gleaned from his voluminous Hunt County Newspaper Project. .

FA Cup: Port Vale beat Shortwood United 4-0 to end non-league side's cup dream
Two goals in each half were enough for Port Vale to earn a 4-0 win over Shortwood United in the FA Cup first round.
By Pete Hall Follow @Pistolpeteh86
Last Updated: 11/11/13 10:10pm
Two goals in each half were enough for Port Vale to earn a 4-0 victory over non-league Shortwood United in the FA Cup first round.
The lowest ranked team in the competition came into the clash full of optimism after overcoming Aldershot to reach the first round proper, but in truth the part-timers never looked like causing another upset.
Jennison Myrie-Williams settled any early nerves by finishing well when picked out in space after just 15 minutes.
And from that moment on the visitors were firmly in control of proceedings, and doubled their lead after Chris Birchall tapped in, reacting quickest to Shortwood goalkeeper Rich King's save.
The Southern League Division One South side did come out after the interval with added impetus, but never really created any clear-cut opportunities.
And that proved costly as a Myrie-Williams penalty, given for a John Coates handball, and a stoppage-time Chris Lines header made sure that the Valiants progressed.
Salisbury await the victors, but the non-league side can be proud of their efforts against League One opposition.

Take Photos Everywhere with the Spinner 360 Motorizer2012-09-05 5 6 Share Tweet
Would you like to take photos with your Spinner 360 in low light conditions but you don't know how? Do you think using manual Speed is too difficult? This is an accesory for you!
I think the Spinner 360 is one of the most interesting cameras that Lomography has. It can portray a situation like no other camera and for sure it is really simple to use.
But of course if you have one, you know pulling the cord is not enough to take photos indoors, at night, or any low light condition. It took me a long time to find an easy way to take good photos in manual speed and it Works great. But now with the Spinner 360 Motorizer this camera made significant progress to the next level.
This accesory allows you to take photos in low light conditions with its marvellous remote control. You don't need to hold camera and you can decide to take a part of your photo or not.
Moreover you have 2 modes for take your Pictures:
- Single spin mode.- Just press the button and it starts to spin like spin and a half.
- Continous mode. – The camera spins as much as you hold the button pressed.
Those modes are really simple and fun with Amazing results. You could act in your own photo as you want or you can try the longest photo that you've ever taken before.
It's an Amazing accesory. I really recommend it!

Hi support,
Any idea why my slider works in Firefox and Chrome, but does not initialise in IE 9. Got to be path related I guess. I'm using the XML config.
Any help would be great!
ThanksAugust 10, 2011 at 8:44 pm #49983August 11, 2011 at 5:51 am #49984
please update to the latest version of Display. At the moment you use version 1.4.1 – the latest is 2.0.2. You can download the update at http://themeforest.net. Replace the old theme files with the new ones (make a backup first though). If you've made customizations you can use version.rtf (the changelog) to replace the updated files only.August 11, 2011 at 8:23 am #49985
I've updated all the files apart from Header.php. When I add this file the Menu bar disappears and is replaced by just one category?
The rest of the files have been uploaded but have not fixed the missing Cu3er on IE9 and on my windows mobile, works on Chrome and Firefox. The logo of the loader does not even appear, suspect it could be path related?
Do you have any idea why this might be and why I can't add the updated Header.php page, assume they aren't connected?
Thanks in advance.
Paul.August 11, 2011 at 8:45 am #49986
I'll see if the IE developer console throws any errors. You need to create a custom menu (Appearance > Menus) since WP3. The "new" header.php implements this feature. I wrote a short tutorial here: http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/i-can%E2%80% (Purchase code hidden if logged out) -the-menu-behaves-weirdAugust 11, 2011 at 9:15 am #49987
Fixed the menu using your tutorial.
Now just need IE to work on the front page thanks for the help so far. Did the developer console shed any light?
PaulAugust 11, 2011 at 10:07 am #49988
The interesting thing is that the slider works/loads fine when I use the 32bit edition of IE9. The 64bit edition doesn't work with the slider but it doesn't give me any js errors too. I think it's more a flash player problem than a theme/slider problem. Adobe support page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.htmlAugust 11, 2011 at 10:44 am #49989
Okay, but you can see this site in 64bit IE – right? http://www.rewardsforleads.co.uk/
This is another of our sites and is also running on WordPress and Display?
See if you can see this one, this site is hosted on a different server… but oddly when I visit this site on my phone I see thumbnails of the slider.
So not sure I can blame Flash…
Any other suggestions?August 11, 2011 at 11:01 am #49990
It looks like on the other site it uses Javascript to generate and animate the pictures, I assume because it can't do the flash is defaults to images instead? What would stop this new site doing this? Permissions?August 11, 2011 at 12:20 pm #49991
IE9 64bit doesn't report a js error. I can only imagine that a plugin causes a conflict. Does the js slider work if you activate it by default?August 11, 2011 at 1:01 pm #49992
If I turn the js slider on nothing happens including the other browsers non 32bit ones.
So looks like the JS Slider isn't working at all.
I've tried disabling all the plugins. I only used two extra Contact Form 7 & LinkedIn Share Button, but even both disabled – still nothing.
What do you suggest I try now
Thanks for your efforts,
Paul.August 11, 2011 at 1:25 pm #49993
Try to upgrade WordPress to 3.2.1 – maybe the plugins cause a problem in comibination with the "old" wp version. Try to upload the newest version of custom.js (located in js/custom.js) – so we can be sure that the slider isn't outdated and works with jquery 1.6.1.August 11, 2011 at 1:51 pm #49994
I've backed up and installed the newest version of WP. I have also copied the custom JS on to the site again, please check it's the right one I think it's right…
Does not seem to have fixed it though….
I'd hate to have stop using the slider, anything else you can think of…????
Paul.August 11, 2011 at 2:31 pm #49995
Mmm… just a guess but:
I think you set images via the image manager (Display Options > Slideshow options) here: http://www.rewardsforleads.co.uk/ and you use the config.xml for the flash slideshow.
On this website: http://www.veclipse.com you only set the config.xml but no images in the image manager – because the image are missing the jquery slideshow can't display any (the jquery slideshow can't read the xml file).August 11, 2011 at 2:56 pm #49996
That's the one… updated that section and it's working. I wrong assumed that as I wasn't using that bit I did not need it.
Fixed it
Nice one Dude!August 11, 2011 at 2:57 pm #49997
Glad that it's working now :)

Cricket clubs aren't always whiter than white - but they can be this year.
Junior and senior clubs in Bradford are being encouraged to enter the AEG 2013 Grassroots Cricket Campaign, where teams can win new kits, washing machines and the chance to train at Lord's with their sporting heroes.
A total of 40 teams nationwide will win an ultimate kit and laundry package that includes 11 bespoke cricket kits, designed by the winning teams, as well as a top-of-the-range AEG washing machine in time for the start of the new season.
Former England cricketers Darren Gough and Paul Nixon are backing the premium home appliance brand's campaign at www.facebook.com/AEG.
The competition was first held last year and has already provided grass-roots clubs and schools with nearly 2,000 full team kits, and Yorkshire legend Gough said: "It's so important that AEG is continuing to support grass-roots cricket this year.
"We need to give youth teams all the backing and support possible – they're our future stars.
"The prizes on offer are money-can't buy opportunities and I urge every team in Bradford to apply."
Successful clubs designed their kits to include their club crests ready for the start of the cricket season, as well as a washing machine to keep the whites in pristine condition.
One lucky club - Kibworth Under-11s in Leicestershire - also received a training session with the England team at Edgbaston, while another club won training with England cricket legends at their own club.
The closing date for applications is Tuesday, February 28.

Wonder Woman issue #2 should have been issue #1 or at the very least a combination of the two. In this issue, writer Brian Azzarello sets up the new direction of his rebooted Wonder Woman and manages to clear up the mystery behind Wonder Woman suddenly having a father and the why a human woman is being chased down by Greek Gods. In one issue, Azzarello's story has turned from confusing to compelling. It's the kind of writing that's made Azzarello such a sought after comic book author.
Opening on Mount Olympus, Wonder Woman #2 introduces us to Hera, wife of Zeus and her trouble-making daughter Strife. Hera, angered that her husband has impregnated yet another human female, sent the two assassins from issue #1 to kill her. The interference of Wonder Woman has opened up some old wounds for Hera, wounds she wants to see avenged. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman has brought the woman (Zola) and the wounded Hermes back to Paradise Island for protection. Azzarello is smart here, he answers the questions from issue #1, but doesn't give away his entire story arc. The main point he delves into is the new origin of Wonder Woman.
Unlike his peers, Azzarello seems to be adding to a legend as opposed to re-writing it. The original history of Wonder Woman is still intact – Hippolyta still created her out of clay and she still came to life through the Gods. While the legend remains intact, it's just a legend, one that been accepted by all as the true origin of Wonder Woman. As the issue progresses, Strife attacks Paradise Island by fooling the Amazonians into trying to kill each other. Confronted by Wonder Woman, Strife exposes the reality that Zeus is Wonder Woman's father. It's a revelation that surprises everyone, most of all Wonder Woman. I'm really interested in Hippolyta's reaction. Did she know? Will this be a surprise to her? Azzarello has set up a nice cliffhanger for the end of issue #2.
Some will take issue with my original argument that Wonder Woman #1 was too confusing because Azzarello cleared most of it up in this issue. I still think when you're rebooting a hero the first issue should be a little more straightforward. If Issue #1 had a few of the elements in #2 it would have been perfect. Instead, it was just a bit off the mark. With issue #2 under his belt, Azzarello is poised to do some really interesting things with Wonder Woman.
Cliff Chiang's art is also stronger in this issue. The lines are cleaner and the characters have a more solid appearance on the page. Outside of his obvious ability with action and movement, Chiang has a penchant for expression. Often in comics faces are just there, they don't react unless it's an extreme situation. Chiang uses the entire face to give his characters real reactions to every situation. It's a nice change that adds some depth to the whole issue.

By Emily Bialkowski
Caledonia Argus
Allegations of misconduct, employee reprimands and an overall sense of disappointment in Houston County law enforcement were aired at the Sept. 11 Houston County Board meeting.
Kevin Kelleher, resident, came forward to implore the board to take action on what he described as a general culture of "what can we get away with."
"The mission of the sheriff's department is to enforce law in Houston County, obey the law and be a role model. As long as we have a situation where no one is held accountable it goes on," Kelleher said.
He specifically brought up a DVD copying case that first surfaced in 2009 and a more recent drag racing incident at the county airport that involved a sheriff's deputy and City of Caledonia police officer.
A foggy wall between at least part of the board and the sheriff's department appeared evident as Commissioners Jack Miller and Justin Zmyewski requested that the sheriff attend the next meeting. He was not present to address the comments.
Miller agreed with Kelleher's observations and said, "There are outstanding allegations of misconduct that should be addressed. There is public concern and it's an item of ridicule right now."
Houston County Chief Deputy Scott Yeiter asked to address some of the points – mainly the DVD and drag racing incidents.
"The DVD issue has been here for 3.5 years and I'll remind the board who told you about the DVD issue: It was the sheriff who came to a budget meeting in June 2009 and informed everybody at the meeting. There was no attempted cover up.
"There's been multiple investigations, and as far as I'm aware there's been cooperation from everybody involved."
Both Kelleher and Miller refuted the idea that cooperation existed but no specifics were presented.
In addressing the airport drag racing incident of August, Yeiter said the deputy involved freely admitted his guilt and was internally coached.
"We were disappointed in him vehemently," Yeiter said, adding that the deputy had no prior mar on his record.
Miller said he felt the punishment didn't fit the offense. "It just seems to me that it is a little more egregious than something that is done by coaching."
Miller continued, "I have had citizens ask me that if I get a speeding ticket do I get a DVD with it. They ask me, 'How fast do those squad cars go, Jack.' It's embarrassing."
But Yeiter argued that a few poor decisions should not shadow the daily effort of the sheriff's department. "I believe our deputies do a great job. To try and paint with a wide brush is demeaning to the work that is done," he said.
Kelleher spoke again and said, "I think the citizens of Houston County want their law enforcement to stop making stupid decisions."
Despite the nature of the discussion, those involved remained civil.
In the end, the county auditor was instructed to ask the sheriff to attend the next board meeting.
Kelleher asked the board to take action on the situation.
"These are your employees and you need to take some kind of action to show the people of Houston County that the people that protect them obey the law," he said.
What allegations?
DVD Copying: An outside investigation was conducted within the Houston County Sheriff's Department – stemming from allegations from the summer of 2009 – after reports that sheriff's department personnel were using county resources to illegally copy DVDs. The end result was a reprimand of IT Director Andy Milde and former finance director Casey Bradley.
Drag Racing: This incident occurred in August of this year and included a sheriff's deputy and City of Caledonia police officer drag racing county and city squad cars, respectively, on the airport runway.
The sheriff's deputy was internally disciplined, according to Houston County Chief Deputy Scott Yeiter, and had no prior offenses.
A City of Caledonia police officer was disciplined by the Caledonia City Council Aug. 13, though the reason for discipline was not given. His penalties include: suspension without pay for 160 work hours; to undertake a one-year probationary period; to complete nightly log sheets for one year; to undergo performance evaluations periodically during the probationary year.

The stubborn drought in the Southeast continues to grip the region, despite Mother Nature's efforts to provide welcomed relief from Tropical Storm Beryl's drenching rain. Thanks to Beryl, Florida's drought conditions improved significantly this week. According to the USDA's Drought Monitor, there are no parts of the state currently considered in exceptional drought, compared to 12.43 percent last week.
Florida still has a long way to go in their recovery, and other states in the region struggle. Georgia improved just a few percentages -– primarily in a shift from more extreme and exceptional drought ratings to moderate and severe drought. While any improvement is celebrated, the anticipation of a long, hot, and dry summer could spell out long-term drought troubles.
The U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook shows persistence drought to dominate throughout Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina. Florida, whoever, is expected to show drought improvement. However, an objective long-term drought indicator showed Florida and Georgia taking the brunt of the drought.
The Drought Monitor also reported a much improved Texas. Last year, 43.97 percent of the Lone Star state was covered in a deep hue of red, indicating exceptional drought. Today, less than 1 percent of the state is considered in exceptional drought. The majority of the state (38.19 percent) is now considered abnormally dry, compared to 1.93 percent last year.
Some improvement can be expected through Aug. 31 in west Texas, though areas in north, central and southern Texas won't be as lucky. In these areas, the drought may persist.
Livestock producers are weary after last year's drought. The Drought Report shows that producers on the Rolling Plains of Texas are considering culling more cattle and cotton planting in the area is on hold. Additionally, pastures in south Texas are improving but producers continue to give supplemental feed to their livestock.

Wanna See "Pam" From "True Blood" Naked?
I think every guy over 30 has a thing for Pam from "True Blood". She's the Barbie Doll-like Dominatrix who runs "Fangtasia" (for Eric) on True Blood. Those of us with a discerning eye not only like her sly meanness, but her amazing hourglass figure. The deal is, she's obviously an 'older' woman, so where has she been all of our lives. More after the jump.
"Pam" is played by Kristen Bauer (von Straten-she's listed as an actress under both names). She has been on everything (Bones, CSI, Star Trek, George Lopez, and even older shows like Seinfeld and L.A. Law. She's even done voices on some of the Justice League cartoons). Basically this was an actress who was just waiting for that opportunity to break through. Like a lot of actresses who've been around a while, she's dabbled a bit in showing off her nummy parts as well.
In 2000 the then uber-hot Darryl Hannah (Splash) made a horrible little movie called "Dancing At The Blue Iguna". The movie was a big deal at the time because it featured Hannah, Jennifer Tilly and even the kind of unattractive Sandra Oh as strippers in various states of undress. Bauer also appeared in the movie topless, and it's really impressive. You can see her in the trailer below swinging a whip, and later unzipping her top. Of course, there's no nudity here, and stills are HARD to find on the internet, but they are out there. How about one of you rent this p.o.s. and get us some decent still shots?

I thought of a really cool idea that will enhance the whole clan/team role. As we all know... Everyone in Destiny will have their own little ship. But what about clans? My idea is that clans can purchase very expensive ships for the whole group to dock at. All the clan members can group inside for whatever reason. In my mind I can imagine either having the choice for -going to tower- or -go to clan ship- Keep in mind that theses ships can have unique benefits for everyone. If anyone has cool ideas to add to my post... Please tell. If you think my idea is completely stupid.. Please tell lol :D
Clan meeting area. Like it. Even better if they sorted out the voice chat.
No dude that's a Badass idea
This is an amazing idea but this late in the game... Idk if it'll happen. Haha. But I hope I'm wrong. Literally just read all the comments and replies to the comments. Lmao. But totally Bungie should do it. [spoiler]They did this in Warframe. Play off that idea Bungie.[/spoiler]
Maybe not a clan ship but maybe clans could have their own building in the last city.
Great idea! :)
This needs to be in game
Edited by Synthiate: 8/25/2014 4:52:30 AMBrilliant! But yeah, having a huge mothership with explorable interior would be a must for any clan. Ideas? A bulletin board for Raids and PvP, and proximity chat.
Bump, this is important.
Why is this not a thing? Bungie can this be a thing please?
Edited by WAR PRIEST: 8/14/2014 9:26:03 PMAwesome. Nuke it when they are all in one place. Luv it! I'm joking btw (nuke). ;o)
I love it
I'd say it would take 2 days for a clan to call themselves 'The Justice League' and build the Watchtower... That is in no way a bad thing!
This would work similarly to the dojo system in warframe? Would be a cool concept.
I don't see it happening this late in development but man, that would be awesome.
That would be pretty cool but there would need to be something for the lone wolfs as well
Had this same idea thought I posted it... whoops kudos.
How about, rather, a Clan-specific spot in the Tower? (Phased, only Clan members can enter, players who aren't end up with a door in their face.) Would save having to make a ton of new gibberish on Bungie's half. This also adds to the 'Personal Housing' idea I said elsewhere.
I'd love to see any sort of clan base. A game that comes to mind is Warframe. Not only can you get a clan base, but you and your clan build it. It is completely customized in both style and structure. I'd love to see more games have an element like this, especially Destiny.
I fully endorse this! It would be awesome if you could have a clan color scheme for your ship, so in the load screen, you all fly up into your big clan ship like a squadron, and then as you head off to a mission, it shows you all launching together toward the planet. Maybe you could deconstruct things in your clan ship for glimmer, and the weapons parts/etc would add up. You could also collect other random stuff like that steel plant stuff and parts from armor... after the clan has collectively added enough to the pot, your clan vendor could have a purchasable engram which would decode to a special clan item :)
I suggested something similar on gamefaqs recently. I'd like something like the Normandy...that's what I have in my head. You would be able to go there and see who is ready to form a fire team or something. Or dance. Whatever.
Nice idea then you could have a donation box that other people in the clan would put unwanted items in so other people in the clan could reuse
I've seen this idea for other space MMOs. Is their any examples where something like this has been implemented?
Basically it would be a carrier ship......it would be....the Mother Ship. Actually not a bad idea. Think of it this way. It's pure speculation on my part, but it seems like you might need a better ship capable of long distance jumping for future missions in far off distant locations. Say your ship isn't capable, you just started or just plain cheap, can't make the jump. But you joined a clan with a, wait for it....Mother Ship. You can dock your ship with your clans carrier and travers space within it. That would be pretty cool to me at least. I'll take it even farther, clan carrier vs. clan carrier PVP combat =o. Let the hate comments begin =p
Like a mothership of sorts... Nice idea.
Thats cool idea. Eould love to see it happen

The FAA has released its long-awaited omnibus helicopter rule governing emergency medical services (EMS), Part 135 and Part 91 procedures, operations, training and testing and required equipment. The agency estimates that the new rule is expected to cost operators $311 million to implement over the next decade. It closely mirrors the FAA's notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) released in 2010. While most of the rule concerns itself with helicopter EMS, it does contain changes applicable to all Part 135 and Part 91 helicopter operations.
For HEMS the new rule:
• requires all flights to be conducted under Part 135 when medical personnel, not just the patient, are aboard and requires safety briefings or training for HEMS personnel;
• requires all EMS helicopters to be equipped with helicopter terrain awareness and warning systems (HTAWS) and flight data monitoring systems. The FAA rejected industry requests to allow NVGs and NVIS (night vision) equipment as an alternate means of compliance (AMOC) to the HTAWS requirement. "We've been requesting for years that the FAA include night-vision goggles in the rules, but they didn't do that. What's better for HEMS than night vision?" said HAI president Matt Zuccaro, pointing out that 90 percent of the HEMS industry, voluntarily, is already NVG equipped;
• requires an operations control center (OCC) for HEMS certificate holders with 10 or more helicopters and imposes drug and alcohol testing on OC specialists, rejecting industry complaints that this was overly burdensome;
• mandates FAA-approved pre-flight risk analysis be incorporated into the operations manual and requires pilots to identify and document the highest obstacle along the planned route of flight;
• establishes more stringent visual flight rules (VFR) weather minimums in uncontrolled airspace depending on terrain, operations in local areas and use of NVGs; ceilings of 800 to 1,000 feet during the day with two to three miles visibility and for night ceilings of 1,000 to 1,500 feet and visibility of three to five miles;
• allows IFR operations at airports without weather reporting;
• establishes procedures for transitioning between IFR and VFR on VFR approach to, and departure from, heliports or landing areas;
• requires pilots in command to hold an instrument rating.
For all Part 135 helicopter operations:
• mandates the installation or radio altimeters unless there is inadequate room to do so on the flight deck; HTAWS and multifunction displays (MFDs) that incorporate radio altimeters would be permitted;
• requires helicopters to be equipped with a 406-MHz ELT and occupants to wear life preservers on helicopter flights during the phases they are operated beyond autorotational distance from shoreline;
•requires pilots to demonstrate recovery from an inadvertent instrument meteorological condition (IIMC) encounter on an annual basis and to understand procedures for aircraft handling in flat-light, whiteout and brownout conditions;
• imposes more stringent IFR alternate airport weather requirement for rotorcraft based on minimums established in Operations Specification (OpSpec) H105.
For Part 91 helicopter operations:
• Revises Part 91 minimum VFR visibility standards in Class G airspace to one-half statute mile by day and one mile by night; clear of clouds if operating within one-half mile of a helipad or airport when landing.

I was fired from flying Carolinas Healthcare aircraft in Charlotte NC because I objected to being scheduled by hospital dispatchers to be ON CALL and ON DUTY for a combination of 30 hours with no rest period when the FAA rest rule required a rest period after 14 hours of being ON CALL and/or ON DUTY. From my personal experience as an Air Ambulance pilot, I believe the best way to increase EMS Air Ambulance safety is to require hospitals to obtain their own Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate so hopsitals will have skin in the game when crashes or FAA violations occur. Currently, hospitals avoid FAA violations and crash liability by using the Blanket Exemption which allows hospitals to transfer the FAA rule violation liability and crash liability to another company who is supposed to be in Operational Control while the hospital unjustly enriches itself by saving money on pilot salaries by not hiring enough pilots to cover a 24/7 schedule which includes a pilot rest period every 14 hours of ON CALL and/or ON DUTY. Can a pilot let a non pilot use the pilot's license if the licensed pilot is in Operational Control? NO !!! Can an attorney allow a non attorney to use the license of the licensed attorney as long as the licensed attorney is in Operational Control of the case being tried in court? NO !!! So why does the FAA allow a non licensed air carrier like a hospital advertise to be a charter flight company and charge patients for a flight and hold the hospital out to be a licensed air carrier when the hospital is not licensed as an Air Carrier but simply pays another licensed Air Carrier to use their Air Carrier license. For example, Carolinas Healthcare in Charlotte, NC advertised they are the only licensed air ambulance carrier in the state but do not disclose the hospital does not have an FAA Air Carrier Certificate. Carolinas Healthcare is painted on the aircraft to mislead the public into thinking that the local hospital they trust is responsible for the safety of the patients when the truth is the hospital is not in control of the safety of the medical flights becasue the hospital has turned Operational Control over to a for profit company located 1,000 miles away that does not personally supervise each flight. It is time to rescind the phony Operational Control language and force hospitals to stop misleading the public into thinking the local hospital is responsible for the safety of the medical flight. Only when hospitals have their own FAA Part 135 certificate will hospitals have enough skin in the game to follow FAA rules. I am also an aviation insurance adjuster who knows how hospitals try to avoid crash liability while earning a profit from billing Medicare and Medicaid for unnecessary middlemen who charge the hospital to let the hospital use their FAA Part 135 Certificate.

Memories of Ranger Keith remain
The very first time I went to Redwood Grove in 2002 was very exciting. I got to hold a ball python, tarantula and see the bunny hop around on the floor. It was a very enjoyable time because I loved the animals. When I got to sing "Dirt Made My Lunch," "This Land Is Your Land," "The Bull Frog Song" and "The Banana Slug Song," it was very fun because I also loved to sing. I also enjoyed finding Pyrite in the creek or shooting an arrow at the haystack. But the most memorable thing was camping out under the stars with my friends. I really liked how Keith ran the program. I am not going to Redwood Grove this year because Keith is no longer with the program and the city has changed the program too much. It is sad, because it would have been my sixth year, and it makes me very sad that the city is changing a lot of the camp.

Decision over principal still stings
Usually, losing a principal at an elementary school is not a big deal. But there is one change dedicated parents, teachers and staff are highly upset over.
This change would be the loss of our interim Almond School principal, Joe McCreary.
If you are wondering what the fuss was all about, it could be because you are not fortunate enough to have a child attending Almond School. If you took the time to walk on the Almond campus and watch McCreary in action, you may begin to grasp the main reason for the uproar.
We will never find out the real reason for McCreary not being chosen as Almond's permanent principal. But the Almond community is being ignored by the administration and the elected officials that we put in office. So far we have yet to hear one valid reason to convince us that their decision was made in the best interests of our children.
There is no other necessary and desirable quality that matters more in a principal than one who genuinely cares about the children. McCreary was also well liked and respected by his staff members and teachers. If the overwhelming support and pleas in the form of letters of recommendation, e-mails and phone calls to the administration during the hiring and selecting process was not the top criterion for retaining our interim principal, we want to hear what truly was.
Don't they get it? The remarkable reputation Almond and the LASD schools are enjoying today is due largely to the incredibly dedicated teachers and committed families who value high-quality education, and, yes, great principals like McCreary. The manner in which the administration handled this decision demonstrates a total disregard for us, the constituents.

Swim coach's influence far-reaching
I just read your article about Kevin Perry (Town Crier obituary, April 30), and I really enjoyed it. I found it to be the best that I have been able to find about him. Here's some more information about Kevin.
First, Kevin was not a swimmer. He was a standout basketball and baseball player. In fact, there is a famous picture of him at Bellarmine – giving up a home run to Dan Pastorini.
Kevin got into coaching by teaching swim lessons for the Mountain View Recreation Department at Rengstorff pool. By 1981, Kevin was coaching the Los Altos Aquatic Club and Awalt High School's boys team. I swam three years for Kevin at Awalt/Mountain View High School.
What most people didn't know about Kevin was how hard he worked at being an excellent swim coach. It was amazing how astute he was when it came to the business end of running a swim club.
In the late 1980s, Kevin made sure that Mountain View and Los Altos would always have a swim team. He created LAMVAC (Los Altos Mountain View Aquatic Club), which is still around 20 years later.
Kevin had a huge influence on the people who knew him. But he also had an influence on many swimmers he never met. Kevin will be missed.

It looks like Boston life is wearing out Aaron Gordon.
The 6-foot-9 NBA draft prospect visited the city this week to attend his sister's Harvard graduation — a trip that might or might not have also included a workout with the Boston Celtics.
Either way, Gordon clearly had basketball on his mind, as one observer snapped — and uploaded to Reddit — a photo of the Arizona product passed out while riding the Red Line.
Haha aye what can I say it was a long day, someone caught me sleepin on the Boston train http://t.co/c7wXpXPyih—
AG (@IamAaronGordon) May 30, 2014
That's some true dedication to your craft.
Gordon is a projected lottery pick — NESN.com's latest mock draft has him going fifth overall to the Utah Jazz — and the Celtics have been rumored as potential suitors for the 18-year-old. ESPN's Chad Ford wrote Thursday that Boston is the "best bet" to draft Gordon at No. 6 overall if Danny Ainge chooses not to trade the pick.
If that's true, Gordon already is ahead of the curve in the pants department.

What does the term "Female gothic" really mean?
This term was coined by Ellen Moers wrote in Literary Women in 1977; she laid the foundation for a new way of thinking about women and the Gothic genre. (http://mural.uv.es/maseja/The%20Female%20Gothic.htm)
"Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto introduced the term "gothic romance" to the literary world in 1764. ... However, due to its inherently supernatural, surreal and sublime elements, it has maintained a dark and mysterious appeal." (http://personal.georgiasouthern.edu/~dougt/goth.html)
Gothic literature is a genre that deals in the macabre, supernatural, dark, and psychologically terrifying. There is generally a distressed heroine, a sense of mystery or dread, and the poetic sublime.
Female Gothic literature is that written by women. The women in these stories are extreme verions of totally dysfunctional families in which the place of females and female sexuality is unsettled. (http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/sesll/STELLA/COMET/glasgrev/issue2/stoddard.htm)
Some examples would include Mary Schelley Frankenstein, Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho, Anne Radcliffe, The Italian.

KARACHI, Jan 5: An early morning hand grenade attack on the house of policeman in Mowachh Goth triggered a door-to-door search operation by police that also came under an attack but rounded up over half a dozen suspects, officials said.
The police added that two men riding a motorbike threw a hand grenade outside the home of police constable Abdul Razzaq that did not cause any injury but spread fear in the densely-populated low-income locality.
"The policeman was posted at the Mauripur police station and has been quite active in gathering intelligence information against drug dealers in the area," said an official of the Mauripur police station.
"Within an hour after the attack, a heavy contingent of the west zone police cordoned off the area for a house-to-house search. More than 300 policemen took part in the hours-long operation."
While police were busy combing the affected areas, a van of the Mauripur police station came under a hand grenade attack that left two policemen injured. The police authorities later claimed to have arrested the suspected attackers during the operation.
"We have picked up nine suspects and recovered arms, explosive and large quantity of drugs from their possession. The operation was conducted against gangs actively involved in drug peddling, money extortion and kidnapping for ransom," said DIG (west) Asif Ejaz Sheikh.—Staff Reporter

The third flight-test D-Jet completed a one-hour 25-minute maiden flight April 15 from Diamond Aircraft's London, Ontario facility. S/N 003 will be used for performance and handling quality refinement, and to develop avionics, fuel, autopilot and anti-ice systems. The airplane will be retrofitted with the Williams FJ33-19 engine later this year, but it won't be the first D-Jet to fly with the uprated engine. Diamond D-Jet director of sales and marketing Mark Lee told AIN that S/N 004 will be the first D-Jet to have the uprated turbofan when it flies this summer. The D-Jet's $1.38 million (July 2006 $) price tag will be increased by next month, Lee said.

During that time I'm proud to say that we were able to make a positive difference for our European clients. This remarkable experience gave me a broader perspective that will be helpful as we continue to strengthen our brand and further solidify our leadership position in the extended protection industry," Unterreiner said regarding the importance of having a global perspective.
Assurant Solutions custom designs its products to the needs of the retailers for whom they work, which in turn affords retailers the ability to a seamless brand experience for their customers. Its online mobile and web-based tools enable retailers to manage plans and hand6le claims efficiently.
Assurant's working partnership with ServicePower Technologies also allows the retailers that use its services to give their customers enhanced access to third-party repair and installation services. "This single platform for managing and publishing contractor jobs complements existing scheduling technology and enables Assurant Solutions to deliver new services with the best possible customer experience and price," says Unterreiner.

"The Cisco Kid came to radio October 2, 1942, with Jackson Beck in the title role and Louis Sorin as Pancho. With Vicki Vola and Bryna Raeburn in supporting roles and Michael Rye announcing, this series continued on Mutual until 1945. It was followed by another Mutual series in 1946, starring Jack Mather and Harry Lang, who continued to head the cast in the syndicated radio series of more than 600 episodes from 1947 to 1956."
An irresistible intro, and an irresistible show, one of my favorites from my long-lost childhood. The radio version, not the TV version, which also wasn't bad. Two hundred episodes to choose from at the link. Give one a try.
