Residents in Carnarvon are still counting the cost of Tropical Cyclone Olwyn that battered the small coastal town on Friday night.
The category 3 cyclone slammed into the town, 900km north of Perth, on Friday night, ripping roofs off homes, uprooting dozens of trees and destroying banana plantations.
Gusts of winds up 146km/h lashed the Mid-West town, knocking over more than 50 power poles and leaving thousands without power.
At one stage more than 3500 homes were blacked out in Carnarvon and 1700 more in Exmouth.
Many people were also without drinking water when Olwyn cut power to pumping stations in what has been described as the worst cyclone to hit the area in 50 years.
Horizon Power spokesperson Tracy Armson said crews from all over WA were heading to Exmouth and Carnarvon in an attempt to restore power for residents.
She said at 9am on Sunday, 700 people in Exmouth and 1600 in Carnarvon were still without power.
"Water has been restored this morning," she told Fairfax Media.
"Most people should get their power restored today, but there has been significant damage to power poles, so it could still be a couple of days."
Carnarvon Shire President Karl Brandenburg said there was debris and mess everywhere.
"I'm driving around town now and tanks have blown into homes, planes are sitting on roofs and lots of roofs on homes have been ripped off," he said.
"You name it mate, it's happened up here.
"It's going to take weeks to clean up. People are out now mopping up and pruning what's left of trees.
"People are smiling and waving...they are a pretty resilient bunch here, so everyone will get on with it."
Mr Brandenburg said banana plantations had been flattened.
"I don't think there is a banana tree still standing," he said.
"All the crops have been damaged...sheds have blown over.
"They have suffered extensively out there."
North West Central Nationals MP Vince Catania has told the ABC he wants WA Premier Colin Barnett to declare Carnarvon a natural disaster, so local growers whose crops were destroyed by the cyclone can get assistance.
Nationals deputy leader Mia Davies and Agriculture Minister Ken Baston are planning to fly into the Carnavon on Sunday afternoon to access the damage.
Meanwhile, holiday-goers in Coral Bay have been told by authorities to leave the popular tourist hotspot for their own safety so emergency services can resort power in the town after it felt the full force of Tropical Cyclone Olwyn.
The tiny coastal town in the North-West of WA, 1,200 kilometres north of Perth, was smashed by the category 3 cyclone on Friday with wind gusts up to 195km/h causing widespread damage to properties.
More than 80 State Emergency Service workers have been sent to Coral Bay, Exmouth, Carnarvon and surrounding areas to restore power and help with the clean up.
Department of Fire and Emergency Services Assistant Commissioner Darren Klemm said the "safety of the community was the upmost priority".
"There has been significant damaged caused in Coral Bay, with fallen trees, powers lines and debris across the road, creating dangerous hazards," he said.
"It is essential non-residents leave the area for their own safety and to allow emergency services to restore services to the town as quickly as possible.
"Additional SES crews have been deployed to Coral Bay this morning to assist with the clean-up, and the community is being urged to be patient while the recovery efforts continue."
He said Coral Bay was closed to non-residents until the area was cleaned up and declared safe.

Jefferson City money-for-marriage proposal results in charges filed
Wed, 13 Feb 2013 02:23:17 GMT —
A Ukranian woman has been charged with illegally attempting to get married to get U.S. citizenship according to court records.
A Ukranian woman has been charged with illegally attempting to get married to get U.S. citizenship according to court records.
The alleged scheme involved a Jefferson City man offering money to another man to marry the Ukrainian woman, federal court records said.
Court documents allege that Jefferson City lawyer James Barding offered Helias High School teacher and tennis coach Tim Dunville $36,000 to marry Dar'ya Chernova.
Chernova faces a federal charge of attempting to gain naturalization illegally.
This accusation comes from Dunville's former fiancee, who claimed that Barding, a married man, wanted to ensure that Chernova would be able to remain in the United States after her student visa expired.
Chernova attended Lincoln University on a tennis scholarship and later graduated from the University of Missouri. She has two children fathered by Barding.
Dunville and Chernova married on March 13, 2005. After the marriage, Dunville filed a Form I-130, formally advising the government of his marriage. The I-130 is a precursor to Chernova filing a Form I-45, requesting permanent residency.
Court documents say that when authorities learned of the alleged transaction in 2010, they called Chernova in for an interview. During that interview, Chernova lied to immigration officials, saying Dunville was the father of her second child.
Chernova pleaded not guilty on January 28 to attempting to falsely procure naturalization and lying to an immigration official.
Neither Barding nor Dunville has been charged with any crime.
Helias High School principal Didier Aur said Dunville resigned from his position at the school last week, citing personal reasons.

A leading sugar banker cautioned over this year's drought in Brazil's Centre South region hitting cane crops in 2015-16 too as he forecast a wave of mergers among mills, their financial prospects further undermined by the crop downturn.
Alexandre Figliolino, director at Banco Itau BBA, said that the cane harvest in Brazil's Centre South, responsible for 90% of the domestic crop, could fall to 550m tonnes this season, following the drought which hit the region early in the year.
The forecast, down from 596m tonnes in 2013-14, compares with an estimate of 560m tonnes from Datagro and 575m tonnes from Kingsman, although Canaplan has a forecast of 540m tonnes.
And he cautioned that the crop next year would prove "just as likely lower" still thanks to the extent of the setback to cane crops which, even if replanted, typically take some 18 months before they can be harvested.
"What we are seeing is that sugar cane is disappearing, it is dying," he told the Sugar and Ethanol Summit in London.
Deteriorating performance
He added that "to be renovated, [producers] need the right financial conditions".
Yet the sector faces fresh hardship thanks to this year's poor harvest, which looks like providing further hardship for mills which, to judge by analysis of its own portfolio of mills – accounting for more than 70% of Centre South cane production – has already seen its debts soar 10-fold since 2002-03.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (ebitda) among the mills looked set to fall to some R$11.3bn in 2014-15, from R$13.0bn last year.
Per tonne of cane, ebitda will drop to about R$28 from R$30.
Already, debts among its portfolio of mills had risen to R$44.0bn, from R$39.2bn at the end of 2012-13.
'Quadrant of death'
"The sector has much larger debt than at any time in its history," he said,
"That is not good when you are going through a crisis phase as we have now."
In fact, the sector was divided between mills with relatively strong balance sheets and profitability, and worse performers, of which 18, responsible for some 140m tonnes of cane output, fell into a "quadrant of death".
The "performance asymmetry" of Centre South sugar and ethanol groups "has widened" leading to a "scenario of further consolidation" between mills, 66 of which have closed since 2008.
Recent deals in the Centre South sector include the purchase by Sao Martinho of control of the Santa Cruz operation, while trading giant Bunge is attempting to sell its cane assets in the region.

There's a particular author on SeekingAlpha that is short Amazon (AMZN), and has been vocal about his rationale for the position; the only problem for him is that he's been short the stock since early 2012 (as far as I can tell from disclosure on his articles), and the stock has nearly doubled over that time period. Every article he writes, no matter the validity of the argument presented, there's bound to be a comment or two along these lines: "You've been short since the stock was at 200 and it keeps going higher – you're wrong! Just give it up already." That mindset isn't confined to these few individuals – it seems to be common among many market participants. Some of it is undoubtedly due to the short-term nature of the paper shufflers, but there's also a bit of disregard for one of Ben Graham's most insightful statements:
Mr. Market is there to serve you, not to guide you.
Many investors (including myself at times) fall into the horrible practice of checking stock prices for answers. The reality is that it's so simple to look at a stock you used to own, compare the current price to where you sold it at, and instantly conclude that you're an idiot or a genius. The only problem is that stock price movements, even over a period of years, may not reflect the underlying changes in intrinsic value. Simply put, you must reevaluate the underlying business to draw a sound conclusion.
A great example of this is Cisco (CSCO) in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Let's assume that you bought the stock in 1996 at $4 per share (split adjusted); two years later, the stock moved into the double digits. Looking at the fundamentals, you're starting to get a bit concerned: With a forward P/E in the mid-30s and a market cap on the order of $70 billion, you're wondering whether a company of such size will be able to sustain a level of growth that can justify the current price. With a two year CAGR above 50%, you decide to take your gains and call it a day.
For the next two and a half years (that's approximately 650 individual trading days, with Cisco making new highs on plenty of them), you would've been hit with a constant barrage of price action telling you that you're a complete idiot; before all was said and done, the stock would nearly crack $80 per share – 20x your original investment from less than five years ago, and nearly 8x the price when you left the party. Your last concern in this situation would be that the stock was now trading at more than 200x earnings, with a market cap of more than half a trillion dollars; all you know is you've made a horrible decision to sell all those years ago.
Fast forward to 2012: over the past decade, Cisco's per share earnings increased from $0.25 to $1.86 – good for a stellar 10-year compounded annual growth rate of 22.2%; despite that, here's what the stock has done over the same period:
If you had held the stock from the sell price of $10 to today (approximately $23 per share), your return over the next 15 years would've only been 5.7% per annum (before dividends); any purchases made after 1999 through most of the dot-com crash (February 2001) are still in the red. Of course choosing today's price as our measure isn't a perfect solution either – it's just as arbitrary as choosing the peak in the early 2000s. What else can we do besides looking at the stock price?
My thinking is that you should remember your original rationale – in this case, selling a company with a $70 billion market cap because it would have a hard time growing at a rate to justify a forward price-to-earnings multiple approaching 40x. From here, I think you should be able to put rough numbers on what that growth might look like (after consideration for things like capital return to shareholders, the amount of financial leverage in the business, etc); maybe you decide that the only way the company can justify this current price would be to grow EPS 20% per annum for the next ten years (approximately half the rate of the five-year CAGR from 1994 – 1999; of course that was from a smaller base). At that point, assuming a more reasonable multiple of 15x on terminal earnings, the stock would trade at $27 per share ($1.80 x 15); after owning the shares for a decade, and watching earnings increase more than six-fold, the stock would've only increased 10% per annum. After consideration of the potential risks (namely not increasing earnings 20% per annum for a decade), this might seem grossly inadequate.
Even if you decided that was sufficient, you couldn't have justified hanging around much longer as the stock continued to climb (if you stayed true to those assumptions). Shortly, you would've been taking on this outsized risk (I think it's safe to say that a base assumption of 20% annualized earnings growth for a decade is far from conservative) for a mid-high single digit return; the math, which us highly dependent upon recognizing that a company of this size couldn't grow at these rates forever – and would eventually have a multiple that reflected that – would've forced your hand. With hindsight, that is essentially what has happened – except the stock trades at 12x, not our "conservative" 15x.
You might quibble with my use of 20%, particularly after looking at earlier rates; what might cause one to take precaution in proceeding with the growth rate of the past few years, beyond the law of large numbers? Here's an important disclosure in the company's 10-K, from the late 1990's:
"We expect that in the future, our net sales may grow at a slower rate than experienced in previous periods, and that on a quarter-to-quarter basis, our growth in net sales may be significantly lower than our historical quarterly growth rate. As a consequence, operating results for a particular quarter are extremely difficult to predict."
Note that management didn't say that sales growth could slow in the future; they said "we expect" net sales growth may slow (in earlier years they had been even more blunt, stating "net sales will grow at a slower rate than was experienced in previous periods"). There's a subtle but meaningful distinction between the two – especially for a company with the built-in expectations that CSCO had. The company also stated that it expected pressure on both gross and operating margins in the future; this puts even more pressure on top-line growth, starting from a sizable base of $6 billion in fiscal year 1997. Matching our previously stated growth rate of 20% per annum over the coming decade would bring that figure to $37 billion in 2007. Think about that for a second: This would require Cisco to add an incremental $31 billion to the top line in just 10 years. By way of comparison, it took Procter & Gamble (PG) more than 150 years to reach $31 billion in sales.
This discussion warrants one additional short story: in the late 1980's, Peter Cundill was convinced that the Nikkei in Japan was grossly overvalued; for three straight years, he continued to hold put options against the index, which were a perpetual headwind to the performance of the Cundill Value Fund. In Christopher Risso-Gill's fantastic book, "There's Always Something to Do," he recalls a journal post from Mr. Cundill years into the (at the time) unsuccessful trade:
"Last night I was anticipating the outcome of the Japanese stock market. I dreamt that the Nikkei fell by a thousand points. In fact it was up 1,450 – the second best in its history. You must stop this short term anticipation stuff. If you've done the numbers and are satisfied with them and the principle is right, you just have to grit your teeth and be patient."
In an interview a few years later, even Cundill, with a track record that puts him amongst the best of all time (more than 15% per annum for three decades), admits that he almost gave in and let the continued negative information from the market push his hand:
"I almost stopped selling Japan short in the last quarter of 1989 because I couldn't stand it anymore. But intellectually I was convinced I was right and so I carried on – and then in the first quarter of 1990 the Japanese market fell 25% in eight weeks and I made back everything I'd given away since 1987, plus a good deal more."
Here's the point: You can't look at Cisco at $20, $30, $40, and (eventually) $80 and conclude that the price action alone proves that you've made an investment error; the fundamentals are just as important in retrospect as they were in the original decision – they cannot be overlooked.
The merit of an investment decision cannot be decided in hindsight by studying near term price performance – and the near term can at times extend many years into the future (Isaac Newton famously let the price action drive his activity during the South Sea Bubble – and turned a nice gain into a substantial loss of more than 3x his prior profits). The only way to reassess the validity of your original decisions is to compare the company's financial performance with reasonable ex-ante assumptions. You've got to decide if the market is there to serve or guide you – and then act according to that belief. Reflection upon past investment decisions must be looked at in the context of business performance (while also remembering what was unknowable at the time), rather than the performance of the stock on its own; thinking about previous buy or sell decisions in this context should lead to improved analysis and decision making over time.
That's a long way of saying that laziness cannot replace analysis – and even though everybody here understands that, the simplicity of doing otherwise is often irresistible; the next time you find yourself looking at market quotes for answers, it might be worthwhile to think twice.
There's a particular author on SeekingAlpha that is short Amazon (AMZN), and has been vocal about his rationale for the position; the only problem for him is that he's been short the stock since early 2012 (as far as I can tell from disclosure on his articles), and the stock has nearly doubled over that time period.

Hello Kitty Steampunk
This is my attempt at steampunk. I wanted something sweet and girly and my daughter LOVES Hello Kitty and since she is my inspiration for everything I do, I thought it was only appropriate. I also created really cute pink glasses steampunk style but they broke while I was putting them together so that was dissapointing. Overall I am very proud of my creation, oh, and this is my first attempt with fondant and it's homemade. Thank you. :)

Gonzaga coach Kelly Graves has written "Elite Eight!!!" on top of his dry-erase board all season long, complete with three underlines and a circle.
"We weren't settling for just the Sweet 16 this year," guard Courtney Vandersloot said Friday.
It's a pretty audacious goal for a school that had never won a game in the women's NCAA tournament before upsetting Xavier in the first round last season. But that 74-59 victory got the Zags (29-4) thinking big - and they've made it all the way back to a rematch with the Musketeers in Saturday's Sacramento Regional semifinals at Arco Arena.
"We wanted to change the paradigm of what we could accomplish," Graves said. "We didn't make a huge deal about it, but they set a goal for themselves, and we went after it."
The seventh-seeded Zags are just one game away, hoping to add another superlative to the most impressive season in school history. Gonzaga overwhelmed the West Coast Conference yet again before tripling the school's NCAA win total with victories over North Carolina and Texas A&M last week in Seattle.
Yet there's an awfully big obstacle in that path - two obstacles, actually, and they're both thinking about revenge.
Led by low-post stars Ta'Shia Phillips and Amber Harris, who are both a few inches taller than anybody from Gonzaga, third-seeded Xavier (29-3) prepared for a long tournament run during a winning streak that has reached 20 games since December.
The Musketeers are still stinging from last season's loss, which scuttled their plans for a breakthrough following years of steady regular-season play and tournament flops. With a resilient roster that has an uncanny knack for escaping trouble, Xavier has set its own goals that don't end with a regional final.
"We feel as if all the pieces are there to the puzzle," guard Special Jennings said before the Musketeers' practice for a game that will end well after midnight back home in Cincinnati. "We have goals of going to the Elite Eight, the Final Four, and we look forward to going wherever this ride takes us."
The Musketeers are in the regional semifinals for the first time since 2001 following four first-round exits that had some questioning their tournament toughness. Xavier stumbled into the NCAAs last year from a lackluster Atlantic 10 tournament effort, and the Zags sent them home.
"I don't remember (what) Gonzaga (did) so much as the feeling of us losing," forward April Phillips said. "That's the worst thing. Obviously, when you're playing the team that knocked us out, you want to win that game."
Xavier coach Kevin McGuff wasn't proud of his team's effort or preparation against Gonzaga last season, though he praised Vandersloot for running the Zags' offense to perfection with 11 assists while setting up high-scoring star Heather Bowman for 23 points.
Most of the key players are back for both teams - but Xavier also added Harris, who missed last season with a left knee injury before returning to win the conference player of the year award.
"Last year we just had to contend with one 6-foot-6 All-American, and now they've doubled their pleasure," said Graves, who has been known to recruit players from the Gonzaga men's team as practice stand-ins for such towering stars at Baylor's Brittney Griner.
"Plus, Coach McGuff has surrounded those two with a great supporting cast," Graves said. "They didn't have a shooter last year like (freshman Katie) Rutan. At the same time, we're a different team. I think both teams are much-improved."

Southern Miss Falls To N.C. State
Larry Thomas rushes for 60 yards and a TD against the Wolfpack.
Oct. 29, 2005
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Freshman Andre Brown ran for 248 yards and two touchdowns, and Marcus Stone threw the go-ahead touchdown pass Saturday to lead North Carolina State past Southern Mississippi 21-17.
Stone connected with Brian Clark with 5:08 left for the Wolfpack (3-4), helping N.C. State rally from a 14-point third-quarter deficit to win its first home game against a Division I-A opponent in more than a year.
Brown carried the ball 32 times and finished with the second-highest rushing total in school history, just 3 yards shy of tying the record set by Ted Brown in 1977.
Larry Thomas ran for 60 yards and a score for the Golden Eagles (4-3), playing the second of four straight road games.
N.C. State's last home win against an I-A opponent came in a 27-21 overtime victory against Wake Forest last October. The Wolfpack's only home win this year was a rout of I-AA Eastern Kentucky.
Coming into the game, much of the attention was on Stone's promotion to starting quarterback after spending the past 1 1/2 seasons backing up Jay Davis. Stone became just the fourth starter for the program in the past nine years, with Davis starting the first 17 games of the post-Philip Rivers era.
But Davis, a fifth-year senior, had battled inconsistency throughout his career, and the Wolfpack's offensive production had dropped significantly in the last four games. Coach Chuck Amato decided to promote Stone after his two-TD day in last week's loss to Wake Forest in hopes of finding an offensive spark.
It turned out that the spark came from the freshman who wasn't listed on the two-deep depth chart at running back and had played only 28 offensive snaps this season.
Brown broke loose for a 41-yard run early in the second quarter, finishing the first half with 96 yards on just 10 carries. Brown capped an 80-yard drive by spinning into the end zone from 8 yards out to make it 14-7 late in the third period.
Two possessions later, Brown bounced off two tacklers near the line of scrimmage and sprinted to the right sideline for a 61-yard touchdown that made it 17-14 with 13:14 left. The carry made Brown the first Wolfpack running back to crack the 200-yard mark in seven years.
All this from a player who had run for 42 yards on 13 carries this season.
Brown's big day allowed the Wolfpack to stay in it despite a horrible start from Stone and his teammates. Stone went 1-for-9 with two interceptions to start the game, and freshman running back Toney Baker fumbled away Stone's 17-yard completion - the second of four first-half turnovers.
But Stone finally settled down, going 4-for-6 on the Wolfpack's first touchdown drive and finding Brian Clark alone in the end zone for 3-yard score and a 21-17 lead. He finished 10-for-26 for 128 yards.
The Wolfpack defense, however, was stout from the start. Mario Williams had three sacks, just part of N.C. State's constant harassment of Dustin Almond as the quarterback tried to find receivers downfield.
Southern Miss came in averaging nearly 35 points per game, but had to work for every one of its 262 total yards. The Golden Eagles then committed their only turnover when Jasper Faulk muffed a punt with Southern Miss trailing 21-17 with 2:32 left.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is asking for help gathering clues about a hoof disease affecting elk in southwest Washington. Veterinarians with the wildlife agency say the disease, which causes severe hoof deformity, has spread rapidly.
It began with a few isolated cases and is now common in herds across the region, from Vancouver to the foothills of Mount St. Helens. Hunters first spotted elk limping near Longview Washington in the 1990s. They reported the animals' hooves were deformed or missing.
Darren Sparks can see the diseased elk in his backyard in Kelso.
"You'll see, usually, half the herd have hoof rot," he says.
"They won't survive the winter. They can't get around as good and you'll see their hindquarters, start getting skinnier and skinnier."
Kristin Mansfield, a veterinarian with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, says the disease hasn't caused a decline in Washington's elk population yet, but it may if it continues to spread to new herds.
"To me, the biggest concern is how quickly it has spread and how severe it is in the animals."
Mansfield says the disease doesn't match any other reports of elk maladies in the United States. Forms of hoof rot do appear occasionally in Wyoming's populations of elk that congregate around feeding sites. Mansfield says those reports of hoof disease are limited to winter and to a few individual animals.
"Ours is year round, and it's in a whole bunch of elk, not just a scattered few," she says.
Hoof Disease Public Meeting
- WDFW is hosting a info meeting on hoof disease
- 6-8 p.m., Monday, Sept. 17, Longview, Wash.
- Cowlitz PUD auditorium 961 12th Ave
Mansfield says the hoof disease affects up to 90 percent the elk in some herds. She says southwest Washington's wet weather could be contributing to the incidence of the disease, but believes some other factor has triggered its rapid appearance and spread.
Mansfield has ruled out viral infections and mineral deficiencies, and suspects that unknown bacteria could be causing the hoof deformities.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is working with specialists in Australia to try to pinpoint the cause of the disease, and has created a portal for members of the public to report cases of elk with deformed feet.
The portal includes a detailed set of questions, an interactive GPS map, and a field for uploading video and photos of diseased animals.
WDFW recently surveyed roughly 500 hunters in these counties in Southwest Washington to gather information on the geographical extent, and frequency, of hoof disease.
The distribution of hoof disease in Southwest Washington elk in 2009, based on the hunter surveys. The numbers on the map identify Game Management Units (GMUs). Colored areas on the map are GMUs where hunters observed limping elk; the colors show what percentage of elk observed in an area were limping. For example, in GMU 530, colored red on the map, 24 percent of the elk in the unit were limping.
According to the surveys, about half of the elk groups Southwest Washington hunters observed in 2009 contained some limping elk.

Sun Valley police find bottle bombs near resort
KETCHUM, Idaho (AP) - Authorities say they have recovered more explosive devices from a resort property in Sun Valley.
Sun Valley police announced Thursday that five more homemade bottle bomb-style devices were found floating in a pond in Elkhorn Village, a complex east of Ketchum.
Police say the crude devices found earlier this week match a similar explosive device found in a mailbox last week at a private residence between Ketchum and Hailey. The explosives were made out of plastic soda bottles filled with household chemicals and in some cases tape around the cap.
Authorities are urging the public to be cautious and mindful.

Phil Everly, half of pioneer rock duo, dies at 74-A A +A
Saturday, January 4, 2014
LOS ANGELES — There is no more beautiful sound than the voices of siblings swirled together in high harmony, and when Phil and Don Everly combined their voices with songs about yearning, angst and loss, it changed the world.
Phil Everly, the youngest of the Everly Brothers who took the high notes, died Friday from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He was 74.
He left a towering legacy that still inspires half a century after The Everly Brothers' first hit.
You could argue that while Elvis Presley was the king of rock 'n' roll, Phil and Don Everly were its troubled princes. They sang dark songs hidden behind deceptively pleasing harmonies and were perfect interpreters of the twitchy hearts of millions of baby boomer teens coming of age in the 1950s and '60s looking to express themselves beyond the simple platitudes of the pop music of the day.
The Everlys dealt in the entire emotional spectrum with an authenticity that appealed to proto rockers like the Beatles and Bob Dylan, who gladly pass the credit for the sea changes they made in rock to the ruggedly handsome brothers. The Beatles, the quartet whose pitch-perfect harmonies set the pop music world aflame, once referred to themselves as "the English Everly Brothers." And Dylan, pop culture's poet laureate, once said, "We owe these guys everything. They started it all."
Two generations later, artists are still finding inspiration in the music. Most recently, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones lovingly recorded a tribute to the Everlys and their unique album "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us."
"There's so much darkness in those old songs," Armstrong said recently. "I think mainly that's just how people communicated when it came to mourning and loss. Then with the Everly Brothers it sounds like these two little angels that sing."
That reaction was universal for the Everlys. Their hit records included the then-titillating "Wake Up Little Susie" and the era-identifying "Bye Bye Love," each featuring their twined voices with Felice and Boudleaux Bryant's lyrics that mirrored the fatalism of country music and the rocking backbeat of modern pop music. These sounds and ideas would be warped by their devotees into a new kind of music that would ricochet around the world.
Listen to the Everlys' "Cathy's Clown," for instance, then the Fab Four's "Please Please Me." You'll hear it right away. Simon & Garfunkel also were strongly influenced by the Everlys and recorded live versions of "Bye Bye Love" and "Wake Up Little Susie."
In all, the brothers' career spanned five decades, although they performed separately from 1973 to 1983. In their heyday between 1957 and 1962, they had 19 top 40 hits.
The two broke up amid quarrelling in 1973 after 16 years of hits, then reunited in 1983, "sealing it with a hug," Phil Everly said.
Although their number of hit records declined in the late 1980s, they made successful concert tours in this country and Europe.
They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, the same year they had a hit pop-country record, "Born Yesterday." They also are members of the Country Music Hall of Fame, a nod to their heritage. Phil Everly was born to folk and country music singers Ike and Margaret Everly on Jan. 19, 1939, in Chicago, two years after his older brother.
As the sons of country and western singers, they had been performing since they were children and were the most country-oriented of the early rock giants. The brothers began singing country music in 1945 on their family's radio show in Shenandoah, Iowa, and though their sound would become more cosmopolitan over time, they never strayed far from their country roots.
Don Everly said in a 1986 Associated Press interview that the two were successful because "we never followed trends. We did what we liked and followed our instincts. Rock 'n' roll did survive, and we were right about that. Country did survive, and we were right about that. You can mix the two but people said we couldn't."
Their breakup came dramatically during a concert at Knott's Berry Farm in California. Phil Everly threw his guitar down and walked off, prompting Don Everly to tell the crowd, "The Everly Brothers died 10 years ago."
During their breakup, they pursued solo singing careers with little fanfare. Phil also appeared in the Clint Eastwood movie "Every Which Way but Loose."
Phil Everly last performed in public in 2011, but his son Jason told The Associated Press on Friday he had been actively writing songs, living part of the year in Burbank and the rest in Nashville. He said his father had been in the hospital for about two weeks when he passed away. (AP)

Byron Caughey from the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Hamilton will speak at 5 p.m. in the Byker Auditorium of MSU's new Chemistry and Biochemistry Building. A reception will follow in the atrium.
Caughey, a biochemist, is a senior investigator and chief of the TSE/prion biochemistry section of the Laboratory of Persistent Viral Diseases, Rocky Mountain Laboratories, National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health in Hamilton. His research has shown how rogue proteins, called prions, could propagate and potentially lead to mad cow disease and its human equivalent, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Caughey received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1985. In 1986, after post-doctoral studies at Duke University, he began TSE/prion research at Rocky Mountain Laboratories as a post-doc. He established his own lab at RML in 1989 and has continued to focus on prion diseases. His major scientific interests include prion structure, cell biology, species barriers, strains, detection and therapeutics.
Caughey's lecture is part of the Kopriva Science Seminar Series, which was established in 1991 by Phil Kopriva, a 1957 microbiology graduate from MSU. Kopriva, who died in 2002, set up the seminar series, as well as the Kopriva Graduate Fellowship Program, to provide support and opportunities for graduate students in the College of Letters and Science, particularly in the biomedical sciences. Starting this fall, the series will feature four seminars annually, with talks given by MSU graduate students, faculty members and guest speakers.

Once again the Times-Herald has proven itself to be a very insular organ, unable to get past its own biases and predilections. Boy, how wrong can you be in your editorial, "Obama's victory must yield results -- Now" (Nov. 7)
Just like those pundits on the right, who chose to operate within the bubble and pretend that a sea change, a veritable quantum leap, was not about to happen, the Times-Herald chose to run a story on election eve entitled, "Eight conservatives predicting a Romney victory tomorrow". Not only did these pundits predict a victory, they predicted a landslide.
Why did the right feel like they were manifestly destined to win? They were so very sure that the American people were fed up with the president who raised their taxes, the one who bungled Benghazi, the one who turned us into a socialist country. They were wrong. They spent so much of the last four years trying to make sure Obama was a "one-term president" that they forgot to open their eyes and look around at the changes that were happening around them.
LGBT rights went mainstream, DOMA was de-legitimized, anti-gay laws were stripped by courts as unconstitutional, DADT was overturned (with absolutely no consequences, I might add). The economy was out of the free fall from the Bush era and starting to turn around. Women's issues were being addressed as an economic issue which impacts entire families and as a moral right for women to govern their own lives and bodies.
But, the Republican party chose to push forward a platform, ensconced in bigotry and religious pedagogy. They showed us an agenda that disenfranchised women, sought to tear away at LGBT rights, instill religious dogma into political debate, and tear away the middle class gains that had been made after almost a decade of failed economic policy. The bubble popped and most people realized that nothing in the Republican agenda was aimed at making this country better for most of the people.
Only the Times-Herald, and the far right could call what happened on Nov. 6 an indication that showed "little optimism that he was the best man to handle the economy" when in fact it was the largest victory margin by an incumbent president in the past 28 years. It was a veritable shellacking. Get out of the bubble.
What the Times-Herald and the right-wing political pundits failed to grasp was that these changes were here to stay. LGBT rights and same-sex marriage, women's reproductive rights, fiscal policies that serve everyone and not the haves over the have-nots, these are here to stay and to forget that will be at your own peril in future elections.

Social media could help you land a job
Facebook is great for staying in touch with friends, sharing pictures and funny videos, keeping up with what your ex is up to... But did you know, it can also help you land a job?
Here's how one expert broke down how to use Facebook when job searching.
First, customize your profile picture. Your picture is typically the first thing a potential employer sees on Facebook. So if you're in job search mode, have a professional picture.
Second, use your status. Let your friends know you are looking. You can also pay for a Facebook ad.
Facebook can use target words for that ad to show up on pages of people who work in companies you are interested in.
Also, "Like" companies you would want to work for.

|Excellent route! Fairly short and un-commiting (by wind river standards) but you can't beat the setting and the superb rock. The 5.8 variation (k-crack) made the route! It was definitely one of the best single pitches of climbing that i've ever done. The descent is easy and straight-forward. All in all a great route to begin with if you are new to the Winds.

1993: Rained on for 6 days, 7th day dawned very clear, did this route on that final day with Fred Batliner. K-Crack was superb, very similar to a Joshua Tree pitch, but in a wonderful American West alpine setting.
The route is also a great quick way off Pingora.

|The above route description is a little mis-leading. What the author is calling the 'first pitch' is actually about 240-250 ft long. Your second could certainly simul-climb, as the climbing is moderate, but there is no way to stretch the rope and gain the base of the K-crack. Maybe with a 70m, but even that would be pushing it. Probably best to break it into two pitches. This is a fantastic little climb, and the K-crack variation is certainly worth all the fuss. Descent can be made with one 60m rope via four rappels from the top of the K-crack. You may have to downclimb a little bit of 5.0 on a couple of the rappels.

|If you are doing the Cirque Traverse, this is the easiest/fastest way to get to the top of Pingora. You can simul-climb the last bit of pitch one/two(probably 220 feet) and then hurry up the K crack pitch (pitch 3 as described in Bechtel's guide), then scramble up to the top. We did it in about 40 minutes and we weren't moving too fast. The rappel down to the notch by Tiger Tower/Wolf's Head is not as obvious as described in the new guide. You need to head to climber's left to get to the second rappel station, don't head down the most obvious line on the first rappel (you can see the rappel slings from the first station and they are not at the base of the dihedral that you see from the first rappel station). It's four rappels with a sixty meter to the notch and some of the slings on the rappel are not in the best shape.

|Long approach.. Easy breeze for the first two pitches with easy fun granite cracks. Base of the 3rd pitch is wide and roomy, with lots of rooms for multiple parties. The 5.6 crack to the right that you can climb in variation to the K crack, is more like 5.7. The right K crack I found moderately easy, 5.6-5.7. On the second rappel, if you have one rope you have to rap over to a right ledge with more rap slings on the right. Make it down straight forward from there. A 60 meter will NOT make it, bring a 70 meter.

|Short for the area, but good for a relatively easy day, or a day when the weather is iffy. Since the rappels are so close to the route, you can get down easily at any time by heading left from the climb.

|Less serious than it looks, this climb has some fantastic climbing. P2 is really sweet and the "k" crack finish 5.8, is definetly a beautiful pitch. Awesome summit and views from Pingora make this an easy, beautiful alpine climb.

|Leisurely start- left camp after 9am. Climbed it as 4 pitches: linked first two- minimal pro placed to diminish drag, then short corner to traverse- easy with great views, then the long dihedral pitch -felt the most difficult, then finished on the "Best 5.6 Ever" left of the K Crack, also did and enjoyed the K Crack but IMHO the 5.6 was more memorable. Late lunch on top, napping in the meadow by mid afternoon. 1 70M easily gets you off, a 60M would work with 2 short easy downclimbs. Rack: set of nuts, single set cams to #3camalot, 6slings. 4*'s!

|We ended up climbing several pitches to the left of the corner. More in line with the K cracks. They went at something a little stouter than 5.6. Somewhere around 5.7 with an awkward flaring chimney/offwidth that is difficult to protect. Interesting, but not super classic. The final 5.6 variation is excellent though and protects well.

|My partner and I found that this route can be rapped with just one 60m rope (despite what some of the above comments say) in 4 rappels. The 2nd rap is a FULL 100ft rappel, so watch your ends, but we did it this way without any problems.
By jediah porter
Sep 10, 2015
I'll see Chris' 60m bid, and "raise" to 50. I rapped Pingora 4 times in the last couple weeks, all with a single 50m rope. I down climbed nothing but the absolute lowest bit to the big traverse ledge back towards the approach ridge. I used that same 50m on the Wolfs Head descent too. I had a tag line, but next time in there I won't bring it. It goes like this:
-rap number one to a likely seldom used, slung thread climbers left of the K Cracks. Exactly 25 m.
-rap number two back climbers right, short (12m?), to another slung horn, this one with tons of slings. Here's where you end up on rap 1 with a 70m
-rap 3 straight down, about 20m. To an excellent stance with a funny, double-body-size protruding horn.
-Number 4 goes straight down too, to a slung thread at a small stance.
-Number 5. 25m gets you to the top of a fourth class down climb onto walking terrain.
Just another option, if you want to stop the absurd rope-length inflation! You're walking 9 miles in, why carry pounds of extra rope?
By MasterBeta
Jul 15, 2016
I'm confused.. bechtel's book has two pitches before the k cracks, 220ft total both at 5.6.. did you climb the corners to the left of the route? because those are 5.7's.
P1-"climb up ledges and cracks to a right-facing handcrack dihedral. climb this past small ledges to a nice belay on a large ledge. 100 feet"
Here's a pic I ripped from one of the posts here. Tried to outline what I thought was the route. Some disparities between guidebooks, which is weird considering it seems like such a straightforward climb. Let me know if I screwed anything up!

|If there is a class 3 way of getting to the main cracks, my partner and I didn't find it. From a big ledge at what appeared to be the base of the climb, we climbed the right crack (5.5 with rap rings at the top) of a short wall (40') to a big ledge where the main cracks begin about 15' to the right. We then climbed two pitches (80' and 170') to the base of K-Crack. Above K-Crack it is class 3 to the summit, there is no need to stay roped. ADDED LATER: Now I see why we needed an extra pitch, we started below and left of the start in the photo above this comment.

|Amazing route. Couldn't find the class three start to the base of the first pitch, so we roped up early and we able to do it in 3 long pitches plus the class 3 scrambling at the top. On a side note - why has no one mentioned the heinous approach? We did the 6 miles to Big Sandy Lake in 2 hours and it took another 2.5ish to go the additional 3 miles to the cirque. This was with heavy packs which didn't help. All the climbers we ran in to on the trail were shocked at how long/steep the last 2 miles of the trail were. Anyway, this route and the cirque as a whole were awesome.

Hello, I am 28 and a mother of 5 children I looking into getting a tummy tuck but I want my muscles repaired I was looking into a Mini Tummy tuck and came accross EXTENDED MINI TUMMY TUCK, where the doctor actually does a Full Tummy Tuck but with the small incision like a mini ? I havent had a cosultation yet but I just wanted to if this was heard of or if its something VERY new. Thanks Athen in VA
What Exactly is an Extended Mini Tummy Tuck?
Doctor Answers 3
Extended mini?
This isn't a standard term. I'm not sure what your surgeon means, exactly.
It might mean that he/she is planning a longer skin incision than usual, but only repairing things from the belly-button on down. Or it might mean something else altogether.
Better clarify that with your surgeon, and ask why this technique would be preferable in your particular case to a standard TT.
All the best,
Extended mini-tummy tuck
Good question. Many surgeons use different fancy words to suggest minimal incisions. I know what a min-tummy tuck is and ai know what a full tummy tuck is. extended mini? I have no idea.
Tummy Tuck Semantics?
Thank you for the question.
You will find a lot of "playing with words" used as marketing in plastic surgery. Based on your history, it is likely that you will benefit from a full tummy tuck operation. it is possible that the surgeon who is advertising "extended mini tummy tuck" is referring to a relatively small incision.
Most well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons do not necessarily have to resort to "word games"; be careful in the process of plastic surgeon selection...
Best wishes.

What is the nature of the mind? Do we have free will? Is the world as it appears? Philosophers refuse to accept easy answers to these questions. Instead, they develop techniques of reasoning to construct and evaluate different possible approaches.
Philosophy at Elmhurst examines the history of attempts to formulate and answer the great questions. But philosophy also helps students develop a strong reasoning acuity, which can be employed to solve any sort of difficult problem. Whether you plan to major or minor in philosophy or just take a few courses, philosophy can help you build a more intelligent, more carefully examined life.
The Department of Philosophy offers courses that satisfy many of the Elmhurst College Integrated Curriculum requirements, including the Historical Analysis, Fine Arts, Inquiry into Ethics and Justice, Social and Political Analysis, and Religious Studies in Context Areas of Knowledge, and the Quantitative Reasoning and Social Responsiility tags.

Growing pains: JDA hosts round table to discuss growth concerns
KILLDEER — Infrastructure, housing, child care and how to deal with growing schools were three of the biggest issues leaders of Dunn County and its cities brought to a round table discussion Saturday afternoon.
Organized by the Dunn County Jobs Development Authority, city, school and park board leaders, along with citizens of Dunn County, gathered at the American Legion to discuss some of the challenges facing the communities and to come up with collaborative solutions.
"Ten years ago we were all trying to figure out how to sustain what we had," said Reinhard Hauck, Dunn County Commissioner and JDA Board Chairman. "Now we're at the point where we're trying to figure out how to provide the services for what keeps moving in on us."
While neighboring Halliday has some room for growth in their school, Killdeer Public School has been expanding and is quickly running out of room, Killdeer Superintendent Gary Wilz said.
As the elementary sections grow, they're pushing students in the junior high and high school out of their space, Wilz said. The district will purchase portable classrooms for the upcoming school year.
"I know people don't want their kids in portables, but you don't have a lot of choice when you need them in a rather quick fashion," Wilz said.
Nearly half — 17 out of 40 — of Killdeer's teachers live outside the district, Wilz said.
Plans are in the works to pave two well-traveled gravel roads, county commissioners Hauck and Donna Scott said. Roads traveling south from Highway 200 to Gladstone and South Heart will be paved to the Stark County line.
It's been hard to find teachers who live within the district, even with the school-owned housing, Wilz said. There are a few teachers who commute from Dickinson. Some need to leave as soon as school is finished to pick up their children from daycare and cannot assist with extracurriculars.
When it comes to roads — as with all oil-related growth — Dunn County needs to prepare itself for more, not less, Halliday Commission President David Walth said.
"Traffic never decreases. It only increases," Walth said. "We need to get ahead of it rather than behind like some communities have."
Being able to get ahead of the anticipated needs will create fewer problems in the long run, Walth said.
"It's hard to catch up," Walth said. "We need to be more aggressive on a lot of those basic infrastructure issues. This isn't gonna go away, it's here, it's going to be here. If we can plan ahead it would be much better."

I'm getting one unit test failure with this version of NumPy (see below), but all the SciPy unit tests pass for me on x86 Linux and Win32 (XP). If you'd like to make any more changes before NumPy 0.9.5 that require changes to SciPy, I can re-build the binaries. Otherwise I'll post the release whenever you're ready. -- Ed ====================================================================== ERROR: check_bug_r2089 (numpy.core.oldnumeric.test_oldnumeric.test_put) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/core/tests/test_oldnumeric.py", line 11, in check_bug_r2089 put(a,[1],array([2.2])) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/core/oldnumeric.py", line 199, in put return a.put(v,ind) TypeError: array cannot be safely cast to required type ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 256 tests in 0.518s FAILED (errors=1)

A swimming robot made a 16,668 kilometer trip from San Fricisco to Australia. It broke a recod by going that far. It took over 1 year to make it to the destionation it was sopposed to go. Liquid Robotics was the company in charge of the project. The perpose of the Robot was to colect the tempature, salinity, and ecosystem of the Pacific ocean. The type of robot it was, was called PacX Wave Glider.
The Liquid Robotics company decided to call it Papa Mau after the late Micronesian navigator Pius "Mau" Piailug. He had a reputation to navigate through the seas without using the usial equpment.
This is not the only robot though. They still have 3 more of them. One is going to Australia and the other two a going to Japan. One of the two robots got dammeged so it has to go to Hawaii to get fixed.
This was a cool peice for me to right about. I thought it was a realy cool storry also. I would like to write about something like this again because I realy liked it.

How dark is the brown leather on the black wooden Manchester still. I am looking for dark brown or black leather to match with my black bar. Thanks!
Im concerned if I order the black Manchester stools that the brown leather seats and back will be too light against an all black bar. Any suggestions? Thanks!
The brown leather is the exact color as shown in the picture. I hope that helps you decide. I did see a picture that showed black with brown together.

How much does this stool weight?
I dont have an exact weight, but its super easy for me to pick up myself. I'm guessing 30 pounds or less.
Date published: 2017-04-02
Can I buy the stools pre-assembled? I do not have anyone to assemble them for me. I want to order 6 stools.
You only have to use 4 included screws and some washers to put together. Everything needed is included. I have no skills and did it in less than 5 minutes. As long as you can line up screws with screw holes (which is only slightly hard until you get the hang of it), no problems. I did it sitting on the floor.

Cahill helps Diamondbacks hand Dodgers another loss
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Trevor Cahill drove in Arizona's first two runs with his first major league triple, and the Diamondbacks sent the Los Angeles Dodgers to their fifth straight loss, 9-2 on Monday night.
Cahill (2-3) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings, improving to 5-0 with a 2.10 ERA in eight starts against the Dodgers.
Chris Capuano (0-2) gave up six runs — five earned — and eight hits in four-plus innings as Los Angeles dropped to a season-high five games under .500 at 13-18.
Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Ross hit consecutive homers in the fourth after a glaring error by left fielder Carl Crawford, helping Arizona to just its second win in seven games.
SAN FRANCISCO — Cliff Lee (3-2) allowed two runs and five hits in eight innings, struck out six and walked none to outpitch fellow southpaw Madison Bumgarner. Lee is 5-0 with a 0.88 ERA in six regular-season starts against the Giants.
Michael Young hit a two-run double, Hunter Pence hit a solo homer, double and single against his former club and Domonic Brown hit a solo home run as the Phillies stopped the World Series champion's season-best six-game winning streak.
Bumgarner (3-1) gave up five runs and eight hits in six innings. He is 0-1 in four outings following a 3-0 start.
SAN DIEGO — Andrew Cashner (2-2) pitched a career-high 7 1-3 innings of four-hit ball and combined with
Dale Thayer on a five-hitter in front of a season-low crowd of 14,596 at Petco Park.
Miami was shut out for the fifth time this season, tying Atlanta and Philadelphia for most in the majors. The Marlins are last in the big leagues with a .226 team batting average and 98 runs this season.
Wade LeBlanc (0-5) allowed four runs — three earned — and four hits over five innings in his first career start against his former team. He is 0-7 with a 6.35 ERA in his last 12 appearances dating to last season.
CINCINNATI — Andrelton Simmons homered twice and drove in a career-high four runs, helping stop Cincinnati's three-game winning streak.
Paul Maholm (4-3) allowed four hits and two runs in 5 2-3 innings, and Craig Kimbrel gave up a pair of singles in the ninth before fanning Joey Votto for his 10th save. Cincinnati stranded five runners in scoring position.
Atlanta scored in four of five innings against Bronson Arroyo (2-4), who gave up four runs, eight hits and two walks in his shortest outing this season.
CHICAGO — Scott Feldman (3-3) allowed two hits in seven scoreless innings against his former team before leaving with a cramp in his pitching hand.
Chicago Cubs came within three outs of its first shutout since Aug. 26. Texas scored a pair of unearned runs in the ninth after a throwing error by third baseman Luis Valbuena.
Anthony Rizzo had three hits, four RBIs and his ninth home run as the Cubs stopped a four-game losing streak. and set season highs for runs and victory margin.
Tepesch (2-3) gave up six runs — five earned — six hits and four walks in four innings.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ was hit in the head by a line drive and taken off the field on a stretcher during Toronto's 6-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
In a frightening scene at Tropicana Field, Desmond Jennings' second-inning liner caromed squarely off the left side of Happ's head with a loud "thwack!" that could be heard up in the press box.
The ball went all the way into the bullpen in foul territory halfway down the right-field line. Happ dropped face down at the front of the mound, holding his head with his glove and bare hand.
The pitcher was taken to a hospital for tests but the Blue Jays had no update on his condition immediately after the game, manager John Gibbons said.
BOSTON — Scott Diamond allowed three hits in seven innings and Ryan Doumit hit his first homer of the season in Minnesota's victory over Boston.
Diamond (3-2) gave up a single in each of the first three innings, didn't allow a runner past first base and retired the last 15 batters he faced. He struck out two and walked none.
David Ortiz went 1 for 4 to extend his hitting streak to 27 games, a run that began before he sustained a season-ending injury in August. He has at least one hit in all 15 games he's played this season.
Ryan Dempster (2-3) pitched well for Boston and left trailing 2-0 in the top of the eighth after third baseman Pedro Ciriaco made errors on the first two batters, putting runners at first and third. That led to four runs, three of them unearned, as the Twins took a 6-0 lead.
HOUSTON — Chris Carter's three-run homer put Houston ahead in the third, and Astros held on to end a six-game skid.
The road woes continued for the Angels, who have dropped eight of their past 10 away from Anaheim.
Jose Altuve also homered for Houston, and the Astros took advantage of three errors by catcher Hank Conger to score five unearned runs.
Houston's Jordan Lyles (1-0) allowed four hits and three runs with six strikeouts in five innings in his second start of the season.
C.J. Wilson (3-1) allowed seven runs — two earned — and seven hits and tied a career high with 12 strikeouts.
Mark Trumbo hit his ninth home run for Los Angeles, a three-run shot in the first inning.
CLEVELAND — Zach McAllister and two relievers combined on a shutout and Cleveland scored an unearned run in the fifth inning for their eighth win in nine games.
McAllister, Rich Hill and Chris Perez limited the highest-scoring offense in the majors to six hits and did not allow a runner to reach second base.
McAllister (3-3) struck out four and walked one in 7 2-3 innings. Perez pitched the ninth for his fourth save.
Tommy Milone (3-4), who lost a career-worst fourth straight start, was done in by shoddy defense and no run support.
BALTIMORE — Matt Wieters drove in three runs, including the tiebreaker in the eighth inning, and Baltimore rallied to beat Kansas City on a soggy night at Camden Yards.
After blowing a three-run lead, the Orioles went back on top in the eighth. Adam Jones drew a leadoff walk from Tim Collins (1-1) and advanced when Luke Hochevar threw wildly to first base on a pickoff attempt. Wieters then lofted an opposite-field fly to left that landed just inside the foul line for a double.
Tommy Hunter (2-1) worked 1 1-3 innings of relief and Jim Johnson got three straight outs for his 12th save.
It was the fourth win in five games for the Orioles, who moved within a game of first-place Boston in the AL East.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- After Friday's big unemployment number, it's clear things are improving, Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money". But that doesn't mean the stock market is celebrating because the markets operate on expectations and predictions.
How can good employment news be bad for the markets? Easy, said Cramer. Many bearish investors were expecting the worst, which means now that things are getting better, high-multiple stocks like Regeneron (REGN) are being hit hard as those investors rotate into other sectors that are finally growing again.
As for the industrials, they're getting hit because many bullish investors were bidding these names up ahead of today's news and are now taking profits. But in the end, more employment means more corporate profits and more dividends, buybacks and mergers -- all great news for investors.
As for next week's game plan, Cramer said he'll be watching the JPMorgan Chase (JPM) aviation conference and the Bank of America (BAC) consumer and retail conference for any news on the economy. He'll also be watching WIlliams-Sonoma (WSM) on Wednesday, along with Dollar General (DG) on Thursday and GT Advanced Technologies (GTAT) on Friday.
Executive Decision: Adam Miller
For his "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Adam Miller, founder and CEO of Cornerstone On Demand (CSOD), a cloud-based employee management system that's seen a 182% gain over the past two years.
Miller said Cornerstone is all about talent management, which includes finding, developing and retaining great talent throughout organizations large and small. He said with four generations in the work force, trends are changing, which makes finding and cultivating the right people more important than ever.
When asked about the competition, Miller said Cornerstone is a partner with Workday (WDAY), another employee-focused cloud provider. After years of dwindling competition, Miller said Cornerstone is now the leader in the space.
So why are companies moving to the cloud? Miller explained that Cornerstone's services are always available anywhere in the world and customers never have to worry about updates or maintenance. That's why his company has maintained a 95% retention rate for its existing clients.
Cramer said Cornerstone still has a compelling story to tell.

A MAN who has spent his life in boxing has finally given up his gloves after 64 years.
Tony Reed, 74, first went along to Berry Amateur Boxing Club, in Langdon Hills, asakeen 10-yearold looking to learn how to fight.
Since then he has been helping hone the skills of young fighters at the club, before becoming both treasurer and chairman of the club, based in Valence Way.
Tony has been helped out in his endless efforts by his wife Maureen, 72, and claims he has done almost every job possible at the club down the years.
He said: "I've just enjoyed it there, it's been my life.
"It's good helping the youngsters and keeping them off the streets, more so these days as they have a lot of challenges.
"Boxing is a type of education for them. It teaches them discipline and gets them to follow rules and be respectful.
"Amateur boxing training has changed over the years, but our Berry ABC has not changed, our ethos is still the same."
Tony, who lives in Elm Tree Road, Pitsea, has seen promising boxing stars move up the ranks, including former world light welterweight champion, Terry Marsh.
He has received a long-service award from the England Amateur Boxing Association, and another of his highlights was welcoming the Duke of Gloucester to the club in the Fifties.
Tony added: "Over the years we have wonatremendous amount of awards. We have had the best boxers in Essex here.
"It will be difficult to keep away when I have spent so many years there, but I wanted to takeabreak and spend more time with the family."
Tony and wife Maureen were presented with vouchers to buy something they could enjoy during a special celebration with current and former boxers at the club.
Jo Waters, who works at the club, organised the send off, and said: "Tony and Maureen are a beautiful couple for what they have done for the community and who they are as people."

ARIPEKA — State environmental officials are signaling they may shoot down a channel project that would serve a county park and the proposed SunWest Harbourtowne development.
A preliminary evaluation by the Department of Environmental Protection found problems with the size of the channel and the impact on wetlands as it is proposed.
Environmental Administrator William Vorstadt highlighted the concerns in a four-page letter to Pasco County and SunWest Acquisition Corp., which are joint applicants on the channel project, to ask for more details but also to let them know "the project may not be recommended for approval."
"We are sending you this letter at this stage of the process to allow you to fully assess the further commitment of financial resources for permit issuance," he wrote in the May 19 letter.
The channel project, which would provide access to the Gulf of Mexico, has been widely seen as an important part of SunWest's plans for its 2,500 upscale homes, golf course and marina. The development has plans for 500 boat slips that would accommodate larger vessels than those that would utilize the proposed county boat ramp, according to the DEP letter.
Last year, SunWest project manager Bob Carpenter, in an e-mail to County Administrator John Gallagher, blasted a county biologist for delaying the DEP permit on the canal dredging project.
But on Wednesday, Carpenter and others with SunWest downplayed the significance of the canal to their project. Carpenter said the project could make do with an existing canal, though they would much prefer the new one and believe it would be better for the public.
"We can launch boats in that channel right now," he said. "What it is essential to is the county park.
"It certainly would be nice, be safer. But it's not a showstopper for us."
Both SunWest and county officials said they were confident they could respond to the questions raised by the DEP.
"Usually, these letters are common," Gallagher said. "We're just going to have to work through it."
The entire project up for DEP review includes dredging more than 13 acres for the new channel; filling in about four acres of wetlands for parking and less than an acre of wetlands for a sand beach; and dredging uplands for a travel lift associated with the Harbourtowne Marina. The project also includes the construction of a seven-lane boat ramp, fishing pier and manatee observation tower.
SunWest officials were on hand Wednesday as county commissioners gave their blessing to land-use changes associated with the SunWest project. The project is still working its way through the development of regional impact process.
A handful of critics of the SunWest project were also on hand.
Mac Davis, an Aripeka resident, said he didn't see the DEP letter as a victory for his side, though he grinned when told SunWest officials were not too worked up about it.
"They're on record as saying it's absolutely critical to their development," he said of the channel. But the letter is "just a courtesy heads-up to Pasco County."
