Want to save money? Check out the 2014 Jaguar XK
By Keith Buglewicz
KBB Expert Rating: 7.1
Making a beautiful car is one thing. Making a powerful car is another. But combining the two and creating an icon? That's the rare magic Jaguar crafted with its XK sport
coupe and
Both elegant and menacing, the 2015 Jaguar XK, XKR and XKR-S blend clean, simple and powerful design with the horsepower and performance to keep the promise. Packed with luxury and technology, there's no doubt you're behind the wheel of a car that competes in the same rarified air as others like the BMW 640i, or even the Porsche 911. If it strikes a chord with you, this is your last chance to act, as Jaguar will be discontinuing the XK after the current model year to make room for an all-new XK.
Just look at it. If you want a car that looks this good, and has the horsepower to back up its promise of performance, the 2015 Jaguar XK and XKR models deserve a look.
While it's as easy on the eyes as any car out there, there's no getting around the fact that this car is now in its 10th model year. Besides, as a pure sports car, the Porsche 911 and new Chevrolet Corvette offer up an even better driving experience.
There's little new for the 2015 Jaguar XK lineup. The limited edition XKR-S GT is gone, but otherwise there's nothing new, since the car is on its last model year in its current iteration. Keep your eyes open for an all-new XK in the next year or so.
There are two versions of the 2015 Jaguar XK models, and we don't just mean coupe and convertible.
The XK and XKR are classic grand touring coupes, offering a...
... comfortable suspension that nonetheless combines with steering, braking and cornering abilities to satisfy enthusiastic drivers. There's plenty of power from the XK's naturally-aspirated V8, and even more from the XKR's supercharged version. If you're looking for a version that trades off some of the luxury for performance, there's the XKR-S, with an even more powerful V8, a sharper suspension, and styling that trades some elegance for aggressiveness. In turns, the XK's electronic stability control gave drivers plenty of leeway before activating, and the adaptive suspension returned impressive road holding and ride comfort. On the flip side, the sleek shape makes outward vision difficult, and the navigation display can wash out in bright sunlight.
If self-expression is a measure of luxury, then the 2015 Jaguar XK is one of the most luxurious cars on the road. Even the "base" XK offers up 12 different paint colors, 11 different interior trims, and five different wheel styles.
High-end audio systems are just as much a requirement of a luxury car as leather and chrome. But the Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system takes the 2015 Jaguar XF to a whole new level. Much in the way moms prefer Jiff peanut butter, choosey audiophiles choose Bowers & Wilkins.
The 2015 Jaguar XK's upscale interior features a pleasing mix of contrast-stitched leather overlays and polished hardwoods. The analog controls are intuitive, but unfortunately most interior functions operate via the frustratingly lethargic touchscreen interface. Comfort, on the other hand, is top-notch. The 16-way adjustable front seats provide endless arrangements and strike a pleasing balance between plush and firm support. Technically there are two rear seats, but they're at best for extra luggage or small kids – two adults would just be cruel. There's more cargo space in the hatchback coupe than the convertible, where top-down driving further trims overall trunk space.
The 2015 Jaguar XK's short trunk and long nose are classic coupe proportions, with just a hint of the classic Jaguar E-Type thrown in for good measure. Move up to the XKR, and you get exclusive wheels and exhaust outlets, while the XKR-S adds a ventilated hood, unique bodywork, and a carbon-fiber spoiler. The convertibles look best top-down, which is easy enough to do with the push of a button, raising or lowering it in less than 18 seconds, at speeds up to 15 mph.
With its luxury pedigree, the 2015 Jaguar XK comes predictably well equipped. Customers can choose from aluminum or a variety of wood trims to go with the rich leather upholstery. Aiding passenger comfort is a dual-zone climate-control system with humidity control, and heated and cooled 16-way power front seats. Tech features consist of bi-xenon headlights, an outdated and slow-reacting DVD-based navigation system with a 7-inch touch screen, and a 525-watt Bowers & Wilkins audio system. The Convertible has self-deploying roll hoops for added protection in the event of a rollover.
There's a lot of standard equipment on the 2015 Jaguar XK, so the options list is surprisingly short. Besides mixing and matching which exterior and interior colors you want, there's an Advanced Technology Package, which adds Active Front Lighting that points into turns, and Adaptive Cruise Control that maintains a preset following distance from traffic ahead. You can add HD Radio to the audio system, a heated windshield for icy climates, and aluminum interior trim instead of wood. The rest of the options list is made up of various trim pieces.
All 2015 Jaguar XK models are powered by a 5.0-liter all-aluminum V8.
This smooth and sophisticated engine features direct fuel injection and variable camshaft timing to produce 385 horsepower in base form, while the supercharged XKR brings that number to 510. The XKR-S ups the ante to 550 horsepower. The responsive 6-speed ZF automatic transmission has a sport mode that delivers quick upshifts and downshifts, and can be manually shifted via a pair of steering-wheel-mounted paddles. The gearbox also incorporates a throttle-blipping feature to smooth transitions on downshifts and enhance vehicle stability.

December 05, 2012 — Coral Gables, FL — Shelly Berg, Dean of the Phillip and Patricia Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, and Svet Stoyanov, Associate Professor of Instrumental Performance and Program Director of Percussion at the Frost School, were selected as featured speakers at TEDxMIA, a Technology, Entertainment and Design conference held October 23 at the New World Center in Miami Beach.
Themed "Framing the Future," the exciting event showcased Miami-based speakers who are taking their perception of what is possible in our world and helping create those positive ideas a reality.
Started in California 25 years ago, TED has expanded globally, with independently organized TEDx events taking place on nearly every continent. TEDxMIA is a grassroots movement devoted to spreading and supporting the diversity of ideas, innovation, and art.
TEDxMIA's multisensory, multimedia experience included speakers, creative performances, and TED videos relating to the theme "Framing the Future."
Shelly Berg's talk "Burt Bacharach is the Secret to Life" focused on how performing music intently is a metaphor for living a fulfilling life. A pianist in both classical and jazz styles, Berg has been the dean of the UM Frost School of Music since 2007. He pioneered the development of the Frost Experiential Music Curriculum and oversees the academic, musical and research pursuits of over 700 music students and 100 faculty.
Svet Stoyanov performed a percussion work at TEDxMIA entitled "Musique de Table" on an amplified tabletop, along with two stellar percussionists from the Frost School of Music Elizabeth Galvan and Maria Chlebus. The work showcased how contemporary music enhances and reflects the world in which we live. Stoyanov is collaboratively building one of the most unique and innovative modern percussion programs at Frost, combining solo, chamber and orchestral percussion performance into a single intensive curriculum.

Fast on the ice, Ryan Shannon took his time before deciding where he'll play next season.
The centre closed out his three-year stay in Ottawa on Thursday, agreeing to a one-year, $625,000 contract with the Lightning after shopping himself on the NHL's free-agent market.
Shannon, 28, will make the same amount of money he did last season with the Senators, but he'll have an opportunity to play for a team that made it to the Eastern Conference final this spring. He'll also get the chance to take the job left vacant by Sean Bergenheim, who signed with the Panthers as a UFA.
Shannon's agent, Justin Duberman, was talking to four teams before accepting Tampa GM Steve Yzerman's offer Thursday afternoon.
"At this point of my career that's what I was looking for. It wasn't so much about the dollars, it was about finding the right fit. I felt this was the right fit," said Shannon, who had 11 goals and 16 assists in 79 games with the Senators last season.
While training with Tampa star Martin St. Louis in the off-season, Shannon has heard plenty of good things about the Bolts. Shannon was assured there's going to be a good opportunity for him under coach Guy Boucher.
The free agency period hasn't been easy for Shannon and his wife Jessica.
The couple has been juggling the needs of newborn daughter Emma Madison at their home in Connecticut while trying to figure out what's next.
"It was a tough couple of days not knowing and communicating with (Duberman)," said Shannon. "You're not on those phone conversations, so I really didn't know for a few days what the case was going to be.
"As time wore on, there was interest and then it just came down to making the right decision. Having a newborn baby in the house has been a blessing on many fronts, but also in terms of the contract because we didn't only get excited about talking to another team, we got excited about having (Emma Madison) fall asleep."
Shannon said he is grateful for the opportunity GM Bryan Murray and assistant GM Tim Murray gave him with the Senators. He played a big role at the end of the season and that helped him earn his contract with the Lightning.
"I'm very thankful for the opportunity the Murrays gave me," said Shannon. "It was a great home for my wife and I for three years.
"There were some tough times, but it gave me the opportunity to find that confidence in myself and in my game to really start to figure it out."

BBC Review
She's produced arguably her best work to date. Normal service has been resumed.
Chris Long 2006
Kathryn Williams' last album, 'Over Fly Over', was a disappointment. This time round, thanks to an approach that's sparse even for her and some moments of sheer beauty, there's no repeat performance.
The joy of Williams' songs is in the details. Pretty as her tunes are, it's the honest observations of love, sex and the absurdities of life that make them special.
'Leave To Remain' is full of her lyrical gems. Take the opening line to "Sustain Pedal" - "your breath from a kiss went down my throat", she intones in that silky sweet voice of hers, and you instantly know exactly what she means.
That said, without the swelling gorgeousness of "Hollow" or the gently picked guitar and angelic harmonies of "Blue Onto You", all those words would be for nothing. As it is, she's produced arguably her best work to date. Normal service has been resumed.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by enlarged ovaries, menstrual irregularity and hyperandrogenism and is the most common cause of oligoovulatory infertility. Insulin resistance with resulting hyperinsulinemia is also common among women with PCOS, along with increased risk for dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and related cardiovascular consequences. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol with anti-carcinogenic, anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic properties, that has been shown to decrease proliferation and steroidogenesis in theca cells, emerging as a potential therapeutic agent in PCOS patients. However, little is known about its potential beneficial effect on oocyte quality as well as other reproductive outcomes, such as implantation an pregnancy rates. The present study evaluates effects of resveratrol on selected biochemical parameters and reproductive outcome among patients with PCOS who undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF).

The Fort Hays State Lady Tigers were held 21-percent shooting, including 0-for-12 from three-point range, and lose to No. 5 Washburn 61-41 Saturday night at Lee Arena in Topeka. The loss snaps the Lady Tigers six-game win streak and drops them to 18-6 overall and 10-6 in the MIAA. The Lady Blues, who moves to 14-0 at home, wins their 10th straight and improves to 21-3 overall and 14-1 in the MIAA.
Fort Hays State held a couple of early leads, but Washburn used a 17-4 first half run to go up 12. The Lady Tigers scored eight straight to pull within four but would get no closer.
The Lady Blues defense held FHSU to just four second half field goals. The Lady Tigers did hit 21 of 27 free throws and were led by Kate Lehman's 22 points, five rebounds and six blocked shots. Kate Edwards scored nine and Tera Inglesbee added eight.
Laura Kinderknecht scored 18 to lead Washburn who shot 50-percent in the second half and hit 7-of-12 from 3-point range.

Tweet of the Day: Jay Williamson
"If anyone has seen my golf game, PLEASE let me know. I seem to have lost it during the FedEx Cup Playoffs." -- @JWilliamson4
It's good to see Williamson has at least somewhat of a sense of humor about his game, which was definitely off on Thursday. Williamson, playing for the first time since the Wyndham Championship, opened with a 77 at the Viking Classic, where he had four bogeys, one double bogey and just one birdie.
The biggest problem for Williamson? He hit just four fairways and despite hitting a dozen greens needed 33 putts, which included four misses from inside 10 feet. -- Brian Wacker

EXCITED youngsters experienced a "Night at the Museum".
Bolton Museum opened its doors one evening to welcome nearly 100 children — and adults — to explore the galleries and exhibits by torchlight.
And, just as in the film starring Ben Stiller, there was a whole manner of weird and wonderful goings-on — from being mummified to coming face-to-face with dinosaur remains and even cockroaches from Madagascar.
Max Brady, aged nine, said: "It is a bit like the film Night at the Museum. It has been very good, I have enjoyed it a lot — holding dinosaur bones and seeing the birds of prey was great."
Jake Kearney, aged eight, from Heaton, said: "It is interesting seeing the museum at night, it does look different."
Lucan Williams-Aron, aged eight, from Sharples found himself being turned into a mummy.
"It was really sweaty being turned into a mummy — but it has been fun coming to the museum at this time and dressing up," he said.
The museum opened after sunset as part of the national Museums at Night festival.
Anne Burns, museum collections officer, said: "It has been a very popular event — all the places were taken and we had a reserve list.
"The event is part of a national festival where museums open at night so people can see them in a different light — we started planning this last year. It has been great to see the expressions on the children's faces as they go around the museum."
Emma Woods, from Sharples, went to the event with her family. She said: "It is a brilliant event. We have been looking forward to it and it is a good way to raise the profile of the museum."
Cllr Anthony Connell, Cabinet member for culture, who was among the visitors, said: "It has been a great event. I have seen the film Night at the Museum and enjoyed them, and this is similar to that — I have thoroughly enjoyed it. The festival is a great initiative and everyone looked to be enjoying it."

On February 18, 2010, an article was published in both the Scranton Times and the Citizens' Voice declaring that NEPA counties are among the state's least healthy. "The report's authors hope the rankings will be a catalyst for change in communities across the country - that community leaders, across all sectors, will use it to learn about and work to change what is making residents unhealthy." The newspaper article concludes with a question (from the University of Scranton's Daniel West, Ph.D., a member of the Healthy Northeast Pennsylvania Initiative: "The question is, with limited resources, where do we begin?"
It is our hope that this website will serve as one of those beginning steps.

New Richmond boys hockey tops Somerset in overtime
The New Richmond and Somerset boys hockey teams waged another classic in their storied rivalry on Saturday night.
New Richmond's Nick Lubow scored 2:10 into overtime to give the Tigers a 3-2 win over the Spartans, Somerset's first loss of the season.
The game was extremely closely and evenly played. Regulation ended at 2-2 with both teams having 30 shots on goal.
Somerset got the opening goal wiht 5:14 left in the first period. Aaron Moore redirected a pass from Drew Kelly past New Richmond goalie Adam Dilley.
The Tigers tied the score with 3:53 left in the period. The Tigers were stopped on an initial breakway, but senior Tanner Wisemiller drilled home the rebound from between the circles.
New Richmond took its first lead 2:19 into the third period when Kole Hallmark scored on a shorthanded breakaway. The line of Hallmark, Lubow and Jake Singerhouse generated a number of good scoring chances in the game.
Somerset tied the game on a power play with 2:25 left in the period. Kelly ripped a shot from between the circles for the tying goal
Lubow scored the game winner after Singerhouse won a battle for the puck behind the Spartan goal. He backhanded a pass to the slot, where Lubow was camped to drill the puck home.
Both goalies had exceptional games with Dilley registering 32 saves for the Tigers and Bryce Hanson making 31 saves for the Spartans.

Quitters get ready; Smokeout is Nov. 15
Article published on
Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012
For 37 years, on the third Thursday of November, thousands of smokers try to put down their cigarettes, just for a day, in hope that this will be the start of a smoke-free future.
It is not an easy goal to accomplish. But for those who stick with it, the short and long-term benefits will give them a longer life and those extra years will be spent in better health.
Here's a timeline of how your body reacts when you quit:
- About 20 minutes after you quit smoking, your blood pressure goes down, your pulse rate slows and the temperature of your hands and feet increases.
- About 10 hours after you quit smoking, the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.
- About 48 hours after you quit smoking, nerve endings deadened by the habit have begun to regenerate and your sense of taste and smell has improved.
- Within the first few months after you quit smoking, your circulation has improved and your lungs have begun to function better. Your phlegm production has decreased and you won't find yourself coughing or wheezing as much.
- A year after you quit smoking, your risk of suffering coronary heart disease has decreased to half that of a continuing smoker.
- Five years after you quit smoking, your risk of getting cancer of the mouth, throat, or esophagus is half that of a continuing smoker.
- Ten years after you quit smoking, your risk of lung cancer is now half that of a continuing smoker.
- Fifteen years after you quit smoking, your risk of coronary heart disease is now comparable to that of a non-smoker.
There are so many good things that will happen to you when you quit smoking. Think of the money you will save and plan that special trip. You will not have to clean up cigarette butts. Your food will taste better. Your physical appearance will improve. You will have whiter teeth. Your breath, clothes, car, pets and home will smell fresh.
The Great American Smokeout has helped many people realize their dream of a smoke-free future. Contact these organizations for information on how to quit smoking:

- American Lung Association, 1-800 548-8252
- American Heart Association, 1-800-242-8721

Tamar Iveri sacking sends wrong message
Now that Tamar Iveri has been sacked for her homophobic comments, I feel only dismay at what was the inevitable outcome ("Opera Australia sacks soprano Tamar Iveri over gay slurs", smh.com.au, June 23). I am an out gay high school teacher who has worked in religious schools; surely our society is mature enough to allow for a plurality of views and moral positions to exist, even within institutions that represent contrary views?
I share the outrage at her disgusting comments, and boycotting her performance might have had my support. Protecting the vulnerable from vilification and hatred is our duty, but do opera-goers need protection from this soprano, singing Verdi? Am I entitled to be cocooned from all who disagree with me? Surely that lends support to the contrary assertion that the kids in many religious schools are entitled to protection from views, like mine, that undermine some of their parents' convictions.

In an Emmys telecast unusually preoccupied with memorials, so far, one tribute has stood out from the pack: Jane Lynch's emotional celebration of her Glee costar Cory Monteith, who died of an accidental overdose on July 13. Watch Lynch's touching speech here — and find a full transcript of it below.
It is remarkable and perhaps a little curious how fast TV shows become like families. This summer, on our show Glee, we suffered a painful death in our family. Cory Monteith played Finn Hudson, a star quarterback, turned wide-eyed, heartfelt Glee singer. And from the first time you saw Cory, he had a star quality and a genuine sweetness that made it impossible not to fall in love with him. And millions did fall in love with Cory, and I'm here to say that all that warmth and that charm, that open-hearted quality that we love in Cory, it was no act. Cory was a beautiful soul. He was not perfect, which many of us here tonight can relate to, his death is a tragic reminder of the rapacious, senseless destruction that is brought on by addiction. Tonight we remember Cory for all he was, and mourn the loss of all he could have been. To a generation that loved Cory so, please know, this gifted and wonderful young man was worthy of your love. And if you were lucky enough to know Cory as we did, and witness firsthand Cory's goofy, breezy sense of humor, his natural instinct for inclusiveness, and his unbridled sense of generosity day in and day out, I promise, you'd have loved him even more.

Share your 2004 ALCS Red Sox memories
October, 5, 2010
By ESPNBoston.com
Bummed that the Yankees are still playing baseball and your Red Sox are home for the winter? Tonight's "30 For 30" film (8 p.m. ET on ESPN) might help cheer you up.
It is titled "Four Days In October" and it chronicles the Red Sox's historic comeback against the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS after going down three games to none.
You might not have realized it at the time, but you were watching history unfold over those four fateful days. Curt Schilling, for one, thinks there will never be another team like the 2004 Red Sox.
What's your favorite memory from the 2004 ALCS? Was it Dave Roberts' steal? Big Papi's two walkoff hits? The Bloody Sock? Share your thoughts and memories in the comments section of this blog entry.

For sheer political farce, not much can compete with ObamaCare's passage, which included slipping the bill through the Senate before dawn three Christmas eves ago. But the madcap dash to get ready for the entitlement's October 2013 start-up date is a pretty close second.
The size and complexity of the Affordable Care Act meant that its implementation was never going to easy. But behind the scenes, even states that support or might support the Affordable Care Act are frustrated about the Health and Human Services Department's special combination of rigidity and ineptitude.
To take one example, for the better part of a year states and groups like the bipartisan National Governors Association and the National Association of Medicaid Directors have been begging HHS merely for information about how they're required to make ObamaCare work in practice. There was radio silence from Washington, with time running out. Louisiana and other states even took to filing Freedom of Information Act requests, which are still pending.
Now post-election, new regulations are pouring out from HHS—more than 13,000 pages so far and yet nuts-and-bolts questions are still unanswered. Most of what we know so far comes from a 17-page question-and-answer document that HHS divulged this week, though none of the answers have the force of law and HHS says they're subject to change at any moment.
HHS is generally issuing rules with only 30 days for public comment when the standard is 60 days and for complex regulations 90 days and more. But the larger problem is that HHS's Federal Register filings reveal many of the rules were approved in-house and ready to go as early as May. Why the delay?
To take another example, the feds are building a data hub to determine who is eligible for Medicaid and ObamaCare's "exchanges," the bureaucracies that will dispense insurance subsidies and police the market. Many states have cut administrative costs by combining the application process for Medicaid, food stamps, cash assistance and other antipoverty programs, but HHS's privacy rules say the hub can only be used for ObamaCare. So HHS will force states to become less efficient and flatly refuses to reconsider.
In a word, HHS is treating the states not as the partners it needs to give ObamaCare any chance of success, but as serfs.
HHS did finally if "conditionally" approve the exchange blueprints of six states this week, though it has yet to release any formal objective standards for conditional approval. Some 24 states are refusing to participate, so the agency will be running a federal fallback exchange that it won't reveal how it will operate.
A federal exchange is a vast undertaking. The clearinghouses will be open to the uninsured but also to small businesses and people who already buy plans on the individual market. On average about a quarter of a state's population are expected to at least browse the exchange options, and the share will be far higher in states with large numbers of uninsured people under 65, like New Mexico (24%), Georgia (22%) and Texas (27%).
If 20% of Americans use exchanges, that's 62 million people. At a House Energy and Commerce hearing on Thursday, ObamaCare point man Gary Cohen all but took the Fifth on how he'll deal with this and other challenges…
…HHS also declared this week that states can decide either to expand Medicaid (after the Supreme Court decision made it optional), or not. But states are not allowed to make the partial expansion that many states would have considered. This all-or-nothing political gambit is meant to put the Governors in a bad political spot at home if they don't expand, but the irony is that many of them would participate if HHS gave them more flexibility to manage their own programs and control costs.
Yet HHS has made it almost impossible to qualify for Medicaid waivers. States aren't even allowed to "go green" by using digital instead of paper applications. These "maintenance of effort" rules weren't carved in stone tablets by LBJ. HHS formalized them in a regulation this February…
…The last entitlement to get off the ground was President Bush's Medicare prescription drug benefit. Those rules were tied up with a bow by January 2005, giving business and government nearly a year to prepare—and that was far simpler than re-engineering 17% of the economy. No one knows where the current magical mystery tour is headed, especially not HHS.

Nhan Dan - It is very difficult to restructure public investment without legal and institutional reforms.
This viewpoint was shared by many economic experts who attended a one-day workshop in Hanoi on May 3 entitled 'Restructuring Public Investment and State Owned Enterprises' held jointly by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) office in Vietnam and the Vietnamese Economic Institute (VIE).
At the workshop, the experts declared that restructuring public investment must be in line with reforms to ensure transparency and openness of legal, institutional and investment management mechanisms.
They also pointed out some shortcomings and limitations in current public investment, especially a lack of focus in some investments and the ineffectiveness of State budget allocations.
The investment process should be supervised by elected bodies and agencies, social organisations and the mass media. It is also necessary to promulgate effective public investment and procurement laws as soon as possible, in addition to amending and supplementing specific laws related to the State Budget, construction, land, and project bidding.

The Cabot Panthers came up just short last week at Mountain Home in a doubleheaders against the Bombers, losing both games by one run.
The first game was a heartbreaker for the Panthers, losing 1-0 as the Bombers scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Ryan Logan pitched a beauty for Cabot, but came away with a loss on his record. Logan got out of a jam in the second inning when he gave up three singles, but kept the Bombers off the board. Mountain Home managed just one other single until the seventh inning. A one-out double was followed by a walk. A passed ball led to both runners moving up, leading to an intentional walk to load the bases and set up a possible double-play. Another ball squirted far enough away for Mountain Home to send the runners and steal a win.
On offense, Cabot couldn't get the big hit they needed to push a run across. Casey Vaughan hit a two-out triple in the first inning, but was followed by a ground-out to second.
In the third inning, Tristan Bulice made it around to third after drawing a walk, then moving on a passed ball and an error. Three strikeouts ended that inning with Bulice on third.
Double plays later erased singles by Kason Kimbrell and Conner Vocque. Coleman McAtee led off the seventh inning with a single up the middle and moved into scoring position on a sacrifice bunt, but a fly out to center ended the inning.
The second game saw a little more offense, but also a 3-2 loss by the Panthers.
Cabot took an early lead when Vocque was hit by a pitch leading off the game, moved to second on a wild pitch, then scored on a single by Logan.
After Mountain Home tied the game with a home run in the second inning, Cabot retook the lead in the fourth. Riley Knudsen led off the inning with a double and later scored on a two-out single by Kimbrell.
The Bombers took the lead for good in the top of the fifth thanks to a walk and three singles. Cabot's best chance for a comeback came in the bottom of the inning when bases were loaded after a walk to Vocque and singles by Logan and Vaughan. A rundown and a double-play ended the inning. The Panthers went down in order in the seventh inning with three straight deep flies to center.

Announced by NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Trade and Investment, Andrew Stoner, the German electro trailblazers will present a retrospective series for the fifth edition of the event, with eight differing performances during May and June.
The performances follow Kraftwerk's appearances at Tate Modern in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York with their chronological greatest hits night called The Catalogue 12345678.
Fergus Linehan, Festival Director of Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House, said: "We are thrilled to have Kraftwerk in residence for Vivid LIVE following the phenomenal reaction to their performances in MoMA and TATE Modern. Book your Sydney flights and hotels now - these eight concerts are a mind-melting feast for the eyes and the ears that are sure to sell out. It is a huge coup for Sydney."
The Catalogue 12345678 will offer almost 40 years of unprecedented musical and technical innovations, featuring improvisation, 3D projections and animation. As well as additional tracks from their 10-album back catalogue, each night will cover an album in full and appear in chronological order: Autobahn (1974), Radio-Activity(1975), Trans Europe Express (1977), The Man-Machine (1978), Computer World (1981), Techno Pop (1986), The Mix (1991) and Tour de France (2003).

Shumlin seeks boost in social workers
MONTPELIER >> Gov. Peter Shumlin has unveiled a $8.4 million proposal to address the exponential growth of children entering state custody.
The upward trend, officials say, is largely driven by the state's opiate crisis.
"Parents under the influence of opiates will do horrid, horrid things to the kids that they love and they should be caring for," Shumlin said. "So we have to do better. Our social workers are doing heroic work. They need more help."
As of September, there were 1,373 children in DCF custody — an increase of nearly 400 over two years.
"The number of children that we are taking into custody, that means kids who are no longer with their parents, has increased 40 percent in the last two years," Shumlin said. "You also have to remember that in 80 percent of those cases, opiate addiction is at the root of these heartbreaking circumstances."
Under the governor's plan, the Department for Children and Families would hire 35 staffers, including 28 new social workers. Six of the DCF staffers would focus on recruiting foster parents, he said. Shumlin also wants to add two public defenders, three state's attorneys and a superior court judge to the state's judicial system to expedite child abuse and neglect cases.
Last year, DCF hired 18 social workers to address the growing number of children in the DCF system.
The proposal increases the number of substance abuse screeners who would help connect parents with opiate treatment. Six of 12 DCF district offices offer screeners; the governor wants to expand the services statewide.
The state has an average caseload of 17.7 families per social worker. The additional employees would reduce that ratio to 16 families per social worker by spring.
"The dream is 12" families per worker, the governor said.
Matthew Valerio, the state's defender general, said the proposed bump in resources to the justice system was also desperately needed, noting 10 percent of the 22,000 cases that go through state courts each year relate to juvenile law and family issues.
"Our goal is to represent, legally, the interests of those people, and of course you can't do it if you are overwhelmed with caseload," Valerio said.
Shumlin said the $8.4 million proposal will be split between fiscal years 2016 and 2017; he has requested $3.4 million in the 2016 budget adjustment and an additional $5 million in 2017. The plan represents an ongoing increase in state spending, as officials estimate DCF will need the employees for the foreseeable future.
Shumlin said the spending was "baked into the proposals" presented to legislators Tuesday during a budget preview at the Statehouse.
This year's state spending is running $40 million over projections, and a $58.5 million gap is expected in fiscal year 2017. Shumlin said he was confident lawmakers from both parties would see the need for the increased spending, and support his proposal.
A number of social workers have voiced frustration to legislators over growing caseloads, as well threats against social workers highlighted following the murder of veteran social worker Lara Sobel in August.
"We continue to get many threats, day in and day out, on the work of these social workers," said Human Services Secretary Hal Cohen. "Yet every day they come to work, and every day they try to do the best job possible. "
While DCF officials have acknowledged that three social workers left the agency for reasons related to Sobel's death, DCF Commissioner Ken Schatz said he was confident the agency could hire the additional staff by the spring if the governor's plan is passed.
"We have been able to successfully recruit for new social workers in various places around the state," Schatz said. "So we are optimistic that we would be able to recruit to fill these positions, if approved."
Shannon Morton, a veteran DCF social worker who testified last month on the high caseloads and risks of the job, praised Shumlin's proposal Thursday in an email.
"It is wonderful to see that the governor has seen that to increase the efficacy and positive impact of child protection that we are not the only players," Morton said, applauding the proposed support of multiple state agencies. "We absolutely need and will utilize the positions that have been allotted to us, and no doubt benefit from the increased resources elsewhere."
Steve Howard, executive director of the Vermont State Employees Association, hailed Shumlin's proposal as "a step in the right direction."
But Howard also outlined a number of other needed fixes to DCF, which he said would improve recruitment of social workers. They included additional Vermont State Police resources for employees, as well as further steps to reduce caseloads.
"The folks in these positions don't do it for the money," Howard said. "But working conditions and safety and security are big factors for them."
Howard said he imagined legislators would support Shumlin's request for more funding, but said there would likely still be some lobbying.
"I don't assume this won't require our social workers going to talk to their legislators one-on-one," he said.

Security flaw in phones gives hackers access
(NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Researchers at the University of Michigan and California are presenting a paper Friday, saying they have found a new hacking method with a high success rate.
It's called User Interface or UI State Interference, and it gives hackers a peek at your phone's shared memory.
That means a hacker can run the malicious app in the background without the user knowing.
Researchers found 6 out of 7 highly popular apps were vulnerable, including WebMD, Chase and Gmail.
They say this can expose sensitive data to hackers, including passwords and Social Security Numbers.
Right now there is no efficient work-around.

When I ran out of the foundation powder, I bought a great liquid foundation from Estee Lauder. I used Mineral Veil over it, and still achieved the luminosity without looking fake, caky, or changing the quality and color of the makeup.

Perfect powderOne of the best I own. It's a loose powder but doesn't make a huge mess. I love how the sifter has a lot of holes so if you pour out too much you can easy tap the product back through the holes. It is transparent powder so it'll work with every skin color. It helps to mattify the face which I love because I love matte skin compared to dewy finishes. It comes in a circular plastic container with thirteen and a half grams. This will definitely last you a while. — 4 years, 1 month agohleeee | 210 reviews

Quite nice!It doesn't feel at all chalky on application and goes on light and sheer. I have seen complaints that it's too sheer, but it seems as though those people are confusing it for a foundation. The word veil is meant to imply sheerness, is it not? Because it isn't drying you look fresh much longer and it adds a touch of light reflection to make you look younger and more refreshed.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
there are other dogs he has contact with and their skin is fine, I thought it may be his yard there are prickly weeds that I thought he may be sitting or laying on ive tried to keep them weed eated down however his skin condition is getting worse with his butt completely bald, ive been trying to cal my vet for the last couple days and the line has been busy
Hello again Trevor and thanks for the quick reply.I have worked out an answer for you, please read it through and see what you think, ... lets get started.1. That was the answer I was looking for as if he is in contact with other dogs and their skin is fine then the condition you are seeing is unlikely to be sarcoptic mange or any other contagious form of skin disease.2. If you exclude the above as seems likely then you are often left with a diagnosis of Atopic Dermatitis { Atopy } as being the next most common condition, this is basically an allergic dermatitis and the treatment option broadly speaking would be :
A. Some cases of atopy are due to an allergy to a small protein in the saliva of the flea which the flea passes when it bites. Stringent flea control is a must not only on your dog but in the house as well. Where a dog is hypersensitive only a couple of bites may be enough to trigger a massive skin reaction. The hind end area is often the most affected part in cases such as this.B. It can be an allergy to components of the diet so consider a hypo allergenic diet, your vet will advise, there are a few on the market. If you go down this road your dog will have to be fed only this and water and it may take six weeks for this approach to show any signs of success.
C. Other allergies are more difficult such as to pollen or house dust mites, these dogs can be maintained on drugs such as antihistamines, steroids or atopica. Antibiotics may also be used in the early stages.
D. Other treatment for skin allergies are possible such as desensitisation.
What to do about it?: While atopy is the most likely diagnosis be aware that there are other possibilities as well. For that reason my advice would be to have a vet check your dog over at the next available opportunity and so get treatment started on the right track.
There is often nothing much you can do for this sort of disease on a home remedy basis, sorry, but prescription drugs from your vet can quickly make a big difference and quickly make your dog more comfortable ...I hope I have covered your question fully enough but if you would like further clarification or to talk things over a bit more then I will be on-line for the next hour or so and I will be more than pleased to continue working with you.Regards,Scott
