Jon Lester finally got into the win column this season with a 4-2 victory over the New York Yankees.
After two tough-luck losses this year, the left-hander earned Amica Pitcher of the Week Honors with his solid outing against the Bronx Bombers on Friday night. Lester outdueled CC Sabathia to earn the victory, allowing just two runs over 6 2/3 innings while striking out six on the night.
Lester has now won 10 games against the Yankees since 2009, which is the most wins of any pitcher against New York over that span. The southpaw has also won 8 games at the new Yankee Stadium, the most among visiting pitchers.

Canadian humanitarian worker missing after small plane crash in Dominican Republic
A Canadian humanitarian who helped facilitate a Penticton elementary school class' 'random acts of kindness' school project is one of three people who were on board a plane that crashed off the coast of the Dominican Republic after delivering aid in Haiti.
READ MORE: Penticton 'random acts of kindness' school project goes to Haiti
Humanitarian organization Live Different, which is based in Hamilton, says long-time employee Benjamin Cole Brown was on board the aircraft with Americans Chuck and Candy Ritzen at the time of the crash.
The three were returning from Haiti where they had delivered donations and other aid to help local residents rebuild from Hurricane Mathew.
Brown, 36, had lived overseas for nearly a decade managing programs for the Canadian charity Live Different in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
In May of 2015, Brown accepted and helped deliver handmade pencil cases made by students at Columbia Elementary School to hundreds of students at a school in the northern Haitian city of Cap-Haïtien.
READ MORE: Sharp contrasts between Canada and Haiti
Live Different spokeswoman Jennifer Digiandomenico says organization staff are at the crash site awaiting word on the search for survivors.
She says employees are holding out hope that the man, who many refer to simply as Cole, is still alive.
"We love Cole so much," she said in a telephone interview.
"He is a big part of the Live Different family, which extends all across Canada and the Dominican Republic and Haiti. We have received so many phone calls and emails from people in all three countries who are still praying and thinking of Cole."
Digiandomenico said Brown boarded the personal plane with Chuck and Candy Ritzen, an American couple also involved in the humanitarian aid field, on Monday night as the three prepared to return to the Dominican Republic.
The plane, she said, was Chuck Ritzen's personal aircraft that was frequently used for travel between the two countries.
A spokesman for Global Affairs Canada said they were informed that a Canadian citizen was missing off the coast of the Dominican Republic.
"Debris from a small aircraft has been recovered near Puerto Plata and consular officials at the Consulate of Canada in Puerto Plata Consular are in contact with local authorities to gather additional information," Austin Jean wrote in an email to The Canadian Press.
He said consular officials are providing assistance to the family.
A statement from the Dominican civil aviation authority says the plane took off from Port-au-Prince on Monday and was headed to the coastal town of Puerto Plata. The Dominican air force had located wreckage from the plane.
The single-engine Lake LA-250 apparently lost contact with the control tower shortly after 6 p.m. when it was about six kilometres from the town.
Digiandomenico confirmed that investigators had recovered some debris from the aircraft and said helicopters were currently flying over the area searching for the passengers.
She said Brown, who had worked for Live Different for the past 13 years, grew up near Hamilton and went to high school in the area. He spent some time working in construction and seemed a natural fit for Live Different as it undertook to start building family homes in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, she said.
Brown spent the past 10 years living at various international sites and eventually rose through the ranks to become the manager of operations in the two countries, she said.
At all times, Digiandomenico said he was driven by his passion for social justice.
"His life was his work," she said. "He's a super influential person. He's an amazing speaker."
Brown was instrumental in the construction of more than 250 homes for families in need in the Dominican Republic and he helped facilitate the building of the school in Cap-Haïtien, according to Live Different staff.
One of the future projects Brown was working on included a rescue home for exploited girls in Haiti.
In his spare time, Digiandomenico said Brown occupied himself with his hobbies: music and photography.
According to his personal website, Brown used his photography skills to document lives in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that rocked Haiti in 2010. His photos have been featured on the Huffington Post, the New York Times and numerous other websites and publications.

Watch Drone at Wedding Crash and Burn (Well, Crash, Anyway)
Subscribe to TheFW on
A drone? At a wedding? What could possibly go wrong?
This drone was capturing a couple on their big day. It was a perfectly picturesque scene — a beautiful, happy couple in a field on a gorgeous day, soft music underneath to capture the momentous occasion.
As the drone pulls out high in the sky, though, it seems to hit a tree and falls hard. It's the equivalent of a photographer snapping shots during the reception and backing up to get a picture of everyone on the dance floor only to smack into the dessert cart and knock over the cake.
Look at the bright side. The bride was okay. If she wasn't, this probably would've been a totally different video.

Boys Soccer: PIZM rides defense, goalies, to win over PEM
With just four regular season games remaining, the Pine Island/Zumbrota-Mazeppa boys soccer team has finally found out exactly what it is. That realization came Saturday against Plainview-Elgin-Millville, a 3-1 win for the Wildcats.
Gilbert Wohlfromm scored twice for PIZM, and Brady Holst added the third, as the Wildcats rode a solid defense that gave up just five shots on goal.
Goalie Brady Schoenfelder had three saves and one goal against in 48 minutes before being given a red card. Holst, subbing for Schoenfelder, had one save in 32 minutes. Holst's stop, in the second half, was key as it was on a penalty shot.
"Brady Holst was a stand-out; stopped a penalty kick and scored a goal," said PIZM Coach Peter Wiggins. "This was our best effort and best soccer of the year. We have found our identity."

If you pay any attention to the Blue Ribbon Coalition and its position on snowmobiles in Yellowstone, you know the group likes to tightly tie winter access to the park with snowmobiles, as if there were no other means to get in between December and April.
Back in October the group's president, Jack Welch, wrote a long, somewhat rambling, post in which he discussed the status of snowmobiling in Yellowstone this winter. Among his remarks was the following: "... let me offer my sincere gratitude to the snowmobile community who faithfully and generously supported Blue Ribbon efforts to defend our access to Yellowstone."
Of course, no one is denying coalition members access to the park. What's in question is their mode of transportation. But Jack's comments about access got me to wondering whether coalition members are so wedded to that transportation mode that they would forgo a winter trip to the park if there wasn't enough snow to 'bile?
Is the goal to see Yellowstone's many splendors in the winter, or simply to travel around the Grand Loop via snowmobile? Can you enjoy Yellowstone in winter without riding a snowmobile? That, of course, is a rhetorical question. Or it should be.
But as we head into the 2006-07 winter season in Yellowstone, the same snowmobile issues that have dogged the park the past six winters are back again. The same studies have stressed that 2- and 4-stroke snowmobiles -- and older model snowcoaches -- are polluting Yellowstone. The same federal government is continuing to spend millions of dollars on repetitive studies, millions of dollars that could be much better spent on needier issues within Yellowstone. And the same factions are jousting over winter access in the world's oldest national park.
As for the federal government's role, one has to wonder why it is slogging through its third environmental impact statement on the question of snowmobiles in the park. Not only have the latest studies reaffirmed what the studies associated with the past two EISes concluded, but winter access to Yellowstone will not end if snowmobiles are banned.
So who will suffer? Is Yellowstone only worth seeing if you see it from the back of a snowmobile?
Ironically -- deliciously so in some camps, no doubt -- in light of efforts in Congress to legislate snowmobiling in Yellowstone and the Bush administration's evident zeal to snowmobile in the park, the weather is threatening to do what groups concerned about the park's resources haven't yet been able to do: Keep snowmobiles out of the park.
With Yellowstone's winter season slated to open next Wednesday, the current paucity of snow could put a hold on snowmobiling in the park for the near term, unless, of course, a major storm slams the park. Two years ago a lack of early season snow forced a delay in snowmobiling in Yellowstone, and it could very well happen again this year.
Too, a lack of late-season snow can also be challenging, as the accompanying photo, taken in West Yellowstone in March 2005, demonstrates.
With climate change/global warming becoming more and more prominent across the globe, you have to wonder how it could affect Yellowstone's snowpack, and snowmobiling, in the winters ahead.
But -- and this is a big but -- one thing warming weather won't soon change is winter access to Yellowstone, as snowcoaches can travel into the park whether or not there's snow on the roads.
"If December 20 arrives with not enough snow for snowmobiling in the park, Yellowstone Vacations will be open to snowcoaches operating either on rubber tracks or tires," Randy Roberson, the company's owner, tells me. "This is how the winter season began two years and West Yellowstone's tour operators took more than 3,000 visitors into the park between December 15 and 31.
"One of the attributes of snowcoaches is that they have brought greater certainty to park access. We can carry visitors into Yellowstone regardless of how much snow accumulates at the start of the season and even if we get an early thaw at the end of the season, utilizing wheels or rubber tracks depending on road conditions," he added. "This ability to assure access is extremely important to businesses and of course to visitors who in many cases travel great distances to experience Yellowstone in the winter and do not have the opportunity to simply come back another time."
Hopefully, the snowstorms soon will blitz Yellowstone, enough so to allow winter access to both snowmobiles and snowcoaches on tracks. And hopefully the powers that be in both Yellowstone and the National Park Service soon will come to the reasonable and rationale conclusion that the current fleet of snowmobiles is not healthy for the park and its resources, its visitors and employees.
That conclusion will not halt access to Yellowstone in winter. Far from it. Instead, it will provide a gentler impact on the park.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As has become custom, when sensational and imprecise Pandora ( P) news breaks, I often jump in with clarity.But first, let's get something straight right off the bat. Just as good television and radio stations do everything possible to keep you tuned in through commercial breaks, we want you to click on our articles. As such, we write snappy headlines. While many other organizations use "headline writers," TheStreet, by and large, leaves article titles up to the author. After all, we know what best represents the content we, as individuals, write. Call it "click bait" all you want; I call it smart. Do readers expect us to write headlines that would discourage them from clicking on an article? Not any more than they would expect CNBC's Carl Quintanilla to say, You know what, dear viewer, turn off the TV because we gots unadulterated boredom after these commercials. That said -- and, yes, I fall short from time to time -- I hold myself to a standard: The content that follows the click must deliver -- as in flow from -- the headline. The content needs to satisfy the reader's quest for information and/or stimulation. You might not always agree with what you read, but you weren't mislead. Unfortunately, not everybody abides by this guiding principle. Again, nobody's perfect -- we all mess up occasionally -- but if you were to cobble a list of the worst offenders, News Corp's ( NWSA) New York Post belongs at the top. Here's the headline it used this morning on an "EXCLUSIVE" Pandora story:

Pedophilia, sexual fantasies involving drugs, depression and low self-esteem: these are the monsters I am fighting, and I need to win this battle.
I'm not saying I'm fighting against "being a pedophile". I can't change that. I'm just trying to turn this nightmare into something positive, to make some heaven out of this hell, I'm trying to figure out ways my pedophilia could actually help myself and others, but how? How can something so destructive become something good for society? At college I study law, politics and economics in my country and on an international level, so I don't think my future job will have much to do with children directly, it's not that I'll be able to become a psychologist, a therapist and specialize in helping children and preteens with some kind of disorder. Although I study psychiatry and psychology privately at home, it won't let me have a professional title of course so I don't see how it can be useful to others (only close friends have benefits as they come to me and talk about their problems and help find solutions for them, and I'm planning on helping a friend's cousin who suffers from eating disorders and refuses to seek professional help).
Sexual fantasies involving drugs, I know I've said that before, and I'm even struggling against the desire to take drugs (especially heroin) in order to find a way to cope with the pain of being a pedophile, I'm struggling against the desire to use drugs if it makes sense and it's as destructive as the cause itself (pedophilia)...
Depression is a monster I've been knowing well since childhood I guess, and with the whole pedophilia thing, I feelit's coming back (I used to take antidepressants and I'm thinking about taking them again).
Low self-esteem, of course it's there - how can I be happy about myself when a consistent part of my life is being affected by sick fantasies?
I need to win this battle against myself, but have no clue how. I need to push certain destructive fantasies, but they gently caress me and calm me down, only to make me feel dirty and guilty after a while, just like a drug or alcohol making you feel better for a while only to make you feel like a total failure the next day.
Forgot to say that part of my depression is coming from something real bad that happened to the family of the 12 year old girl I'm in love with, and imagining the pain she's going through makes me wanna scream and punch a wall as things like that should never ever happen and I'm praying to whoever is the creator of this world to give this girl all the strength I'm not able to give her (as she barely knows me), as she's just a child and needs a lot of help.
When I heard about what happened from my friend (who's a friend of the girl), I started to experience that melancholy that still haunts me, and since I love her I can't avoid thinking about what she's going through and it makes me feel bad. It was August when I heard of that, and since that day things haven't exactly been the same. I feel bad because I feel powerless, I can't do anything for her and for this I feel like like an useless piece of sh*t, sometimes I even feel sick thinking that I want her, as I find it disrespectful.
This is the worst part, knowing I can't do anything for her - another feeling I have to struggle against.

A NORTH Yorkshire MP has renewed her call for her constituency to get faster broadband speeds and "honesty" over how this will be achieved.
Anne McIntosh said the Thirsk and Malton area, which she represents, has the worst coverage of any North Yorkshire constituency because of its rural geography, sparse population and the distance between broadband exchanges and cabinets.
She said the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee which she chairs had recommended that areas with poor broadband speeds should be prioritised, rather than areas which have "already adequate" services, and that parts of the UK which will not get superfast broadband by 2015/16 must be given sufficient warning to make alternative arrangements.
Miss McIntosh said: "Having established that 22 per cent of my constituency will have poor broadband at slow speed, we need a little more honesty in the debate and the chance to establish more of a level playing field in broadband provision across the country."

For shareholders of Nigerian Breweries Plc, the current financial year may be better in terms of return on investment as an interim dividend has been declared by the board of directors.
Specifically, the directors, rising from a board meeting held in Malta, in Europe declared a gross dividend of N3.025 billion, which translates to 40 kobo per share and it is expected to be paid on Monday, November 13, 2006 to shareholders in the company\'s register at the close of business today.
In a letter sent to the Nigerian Stock Exchange on the interim dividend, the company said the register of members and transfer books would be closed on Tuesday, November 7, 2006 to Friday, November 10, 2006 for the purpose of an updated register of members.
The company had in 2005 declared a total dividend of 105 kobo, with an interim dividend of 25 kobo earlier declared, while another 80 kobo was declared at the yearly general meeting held in May this year.
The company\'s turnover for the 2005 financial year stood at N80.2 billion, indicating a nine per cent increase over N73.5 billion declared in 2004, on an operating profit of N15.4 billion.
Turnover for the first six months of 2006 stood at N40.3 billion, while operating profit increased from N9 billion during the same period in 2005 to N10.2 billion.
The board had earlier, while declaring the mid-year result, assured shareholders that barring any unforeseen circumstances, the final result of this year is expected to be better than that of last year.

American lives squandered on the president's abandonment of the mission.
The Obama administration's abandonment of Iraq in its final stages of transition, leaving it to drift into the orbit of Iran, is beginning to reap enormous consequences. According to a Western intelligence report obtained by Reuters, Iran has been using civilian aircraft flying over Iraqi airspace to ship tons of weapons and military personnel to Syria, aiding Syrian President Bashar Assad's effort to crush the rebel uprising against his government. The transfers have reportedly been organized by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
"This is part of a revised Iranian modus operandi that U.S. officials have only recently addressed publicly, following previous statements to the contrary," said the report, a copy of which was provided to Reuters by a U.N. diplomatic source. "It also flies in the face of declarations by Iraqi officials. Planes are flying from Iran to Syria via Iraq on an almost daily basis, carrying IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) personnel and tens of tons of weapons to arm the Syrian security forces and militias fighting against the rebels." The report also reveals that Iran is "continuing to assist the regime in Damascus by sending trucks overland via Iraq" as well.
In early September, U.S. officials revealed they had been asking Iraq about the flights, with then-Senator John Kerry threatening a review of U.S. aid to Iraq if the flights were not stopped. Yet American efforts to get the Iraqi government to randomly inspect the flights have been largely rebuffed. An ostensible commitment made in September by Iraq's foreign minister to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that such inspections would take place was little more than a charade. Iraq inspected all of two planes as of late October, one of which was on its way back from Syria after delivering a shipment there. No weapons were found, possibly because American intelligence reports reveal that Iraqi officials warned the Iranians when the inspections would take place.
Although charges regarding such operations aren't new, the report alleges that the scope of them is far more extensive and far more coordinated than previously acknowledged, due in large part to an agreement forged between senior officials from both Iraq and Iran. Thus, as the New York Times puts it, the "air corridor over Iraq has emerged as a main supply route for weapons, including rockets, antitank missiles, rocket-propelled grenade and mortars" on their way to Syria.
Ali al-Moussawi, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's media adviser, dismissed the report's findings. "Iraq rejects baseless allegations that it allows Iran to use its airspace to ship arms to Syria," he said. "The prime minister has always called for a peaceful solution to the Syrian conflict and ... the need for a ban on any state interfering in Syria whether by sending arms or helping others to do so."
Interviews conducted by the Times with administration, military and congressional officials, most of whom requested anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, say otherwise. "The abuse of Iraqi airspace by Iran continues to be a concern," an American official said. "We urge Iraq to be diligent and consistent in fulfilling its international obligations and commitments, either by continuing to require flights over Iraqi territory en route to Syria from Iran to land for inspection, or by denying overflight requests for Iranian aircraft going to Syria." Furthermore, an Iraqi official, who also requested anonymity because he feared Iraqi government retaliation, claimed that some government officials favor Iranian intervention in Syria. As a result of those sentiments, efforts to address U.S. concerns have been minimal.
None of this should surprise. Obama's decision to bring American troops home without leaving a large enough stabilizing force behind was publicly portrayed as a triumph by the president. In a speech given on October 21, 2011, Obama talked about bringing the war in Iraq "to a responsible end--for the sake of our national security and to strengthen American leadership around the world." Yet as the New York Times revealed at the time, "some top American military officials were dismayed by the announcement, seeing it as the president's putting the best face on a breakdown in tortured negotiations with the Iraqis."
Yet is was not merely a breakdown in those negotiations that were completely mishandled. According to officials interviewed by the Times, "the arguments of two White House officials, Thomas E. Donilon, the national security adviser, and his deputy, Denis McDonough, prevailed over those of the military" with regard to deciding the number of troops that would remain behind. That decision was based on intelligence assessments that Iraq was "not at great risk of slipping into chaos in the absence of American forces."
Yet when American troops withdrew, Iran began taking advantage of the reality that Iraq has no air force, and is incapable of controlling its own airspace. They began shipping weapons and military personnel to Syria almost immediately. Facing pressure from America, Iraq managed to get Iran to stop the flights last March, when Baghdad was preparing to host a summit of Arab nations. Obama kept up the pressure with an April 3 phone call to Maliki, emphasizing that the flights should not be resumed. Yet when a high-ranking member of Assad's government was killed in a bombing last July, Iran resumed the flights. They continued to do so despite two more efforts made by administration officials to persuade Maliki. One was a phone call made by Biden to Maliki in August, the other a face-to-face meeting between Maliki and deputy national security adviser Denis McDonough in October. Neither effort gained any traction.
American intelligence efforts regarding the aforementioned collusion between Iran and Iraq officials on inspections have centered on Hadi al-Amiri, Iraq's minister of transportation, who reportedly has close ties with the Iranians. Amiri denied the allegations, even as he remained defiant. "This is untrue," he insisted. "We are an independent country and our stance is clear. We will search whichever plane we want, whenever we want. We will not take orders." Nasir Bender, the head of civil aviation in Iraq also insisted that there was no evidence of collusion, even as he offered a dubious excuse to explain why only two planes had been subject to inspection. "We can't search every plane because there are so many heading to Syria," he said. "It would be a big waste of money. Each plane we take down we must refill with fuel."
That's assuming they can get Iranian cooperation in the first place. American intelligence reveals that, on at least one occasion, an Iranian aircraft ignored a request to land made by the Iraqi government, likely because there was something worth hiding on board.
The Western intelligence report cites two specific planes, an Iran Air plane with the tail number EP-ICD, and Mahan Air's EP-MNE, as being involved in arms shipment to Syria. They are two of the 117 aircraft blacklisted by the U.S. Treasury Department in September. Yet such blacklisting is largely toothless, with Treasury noting that they do nothing more than "make it easier for interested parties to keep track of this blocked property, and more difficult for Iran to use deceptive practices to try to evade sanctions."
The foot-dragging by the Maliki government is motivated by calculations broader than pleasing or displeasing the Obama administration. Maliki's Shi'ite-dominated regime might be indirectly threatened by the fall of Assad in that it could encourage Iraq's Sunni Muslim and Kurdish factions to challenge it. Maliki is already dealing with massive protests by Sunnis who believe they have been marginalized by his government. A victory of largely Sunni rebels over Assad--who is supported by Shi'ite Iran--might provide the spark for a full scale civil war in Iraq. Terrorist activity remains a problem as well: attacks with significant numbers of casualties have been perpetrated on a monthly basis ever since American troops were withdrawn in December 2011.
Thus, Obama's chickens are coming home to roost. No doubt the administration would like Americans to assume that they did the best they could to get an extension from the Iraqi government to keep forces in the country. Yet it remains a fact that the failure to do so worked out just fine for a president whose "core commitment" was the complete withdrawal of American forces from Iraq by the end of 2011--a commitment frequently mentioned during the 2012 presidential campaign.
Not mentioned during the campaign? American ties to Iraq have been prematurely and unnecessarily weakened, even as Iranian influence grows stronger. The Obama administration has been reduced to carping from the sidelines while Iran exploits Iraqi airspace with impunity to arm their satellite regime in Syria. Iraq itself may be destabilizing, a reality that would betray the decades-long efforts of American soldiers and the thousands of lives spent in the process.
The Obama administration, the Democratic Party and the mainstream media have convinced a majority of Americans that not only withdrawing from Iraq, but getting out of the Middle East in general, is a good idea. What they fail to mention is who will step into the ensuing power vacuum. Iran, an apocalyptic regime with ambitions of imposing a worldwide caliphate by any means necessary, is undoubtedly willing to do so.

what can i say about this lip color? I have it in four different shades and i LOVE it! I know some are complaining that there is really no color, but I have to disagree. While the color pigment isnt bold like a normal lipstick, it goes on sheer with a subtle tint. I love making up my eyes in bold dramatic colors, with a classic smokey eye- and I got these lip sticks because they are a perfect pairing for when I want to draw my attention to my eyes, yet still have a subtle nude, sheer color on my lips. I find that when you wear dramatic eye make up andfeel make your eyes reallyin pop, its not the best time to put on that beautiful red lipstick. I myself think its just too much... save the beaitiful red lips for a day that you decide to wear more neautral and natural colors on your eyes, so that the two dont clash and all attention will be on your beautiful lips and the stunning color. I know the product is a bit spendy, considering the color is so sheer... but grab at least two of these- one in a soft nude sheer and the other in a pretty soft pink for those days you want a more natural look, or you want something a little more sheer so people arent drawn to your lips. This smells good, its very moisturizing, and you can build the color if you choose... I give it 5 lipsticks for how often i use it, how fun these are to play with, and the array of colors they have to choose from. Give it a try, start with one... and add more as you go. I own bare to be bold-a very subtle nude with beige tones, one size fits pearl- which is more of a sheer peach color and pedal rebel- which is a little brighter pink, but still glides on sheer so its not so in your face. LOVE THEM <3

First thing a Moon observer wants to know is the current phase of the Moon, so when you launch the application you are offered to set your location and get an "as is right now" 3D image representation of the Moon. That 3D part means that you need to have OpenGL support on your system with proprietary graphics card drivers being the proposed choice.
Wherever you click, there is a place/point of interest that will provide more information on the corresponding tab on the right. This information includes size and position details, a quick description, observation related info like the minimum required instrument and even details about the origin of the name.
The buttons on the top allow the user to flip the view in order to get the same image you'd get from your telescope (in case you are not using an image rectifier), ignore the phase and show the whole moon, go 3D with Moon being rotatable, show/hide names and grid and more…
The dark side of the Moon is actually almost completely dark currently, but I chose to set the phase to off, to get the whole picture :)
Among the many other things that you can do with VMA is the measuring of your telescope's magnification when using various different eyepieces. Unfortunately, there isn't anything like the fantastic ocular plugin found on Stellarium, but still this is quite useful.
Before you figure out what of your eyepieces are suitable for Moon observation though, you should set your location targets according to the current phase. Locations along the terminator are of the highest interest, as these locations are less gleamy and thus more "anaglyphic", whereas locations away from the terminator are very shiny creating a more flat picture result.
For this reason, VMA offers automatic location filtering showing locations of great or exceptional interest near the terminator and according to your telescope objective lens diameter. I chose the diameter of a small 70mm telescope and VMA offered 9 places of exceptional interest for today's observation!
If you are using binoculars, you can put here the second of the two numbers printed on them. For example 5×30 means that your objective lens is 30mm and 10×50 is 50mm. The first number indicates the magnification.
One other thing that is of great usefulness for observers is the ability to print the map that you see either it is mirrored or using airbrush textures for better contrast etc.
The database can also be a happy place full of interesting information for people who want to dig in and find what they are looking for…
Whether you are a casual observer, amateur astronomer or just curious, you owe to give Virtual Moon Atlas a try and learn many new things about the distant locations found on the surface of the Moon. Certainly one of the best open source tools for the amateur astronomer!

Full Product Description
Grace McCaffery hopes that the bustling streets of New York hold all the promise that the lush hills of Ireland did not. As her efforts to earn enough money to bring her mother to America fail, she wonders if her new Brownie camera could be the answer. But a casual stroll through a beautiful New York City park turns into a hostile run-in with local gangsters, who are convinced her camera holds the first and only photos of their elusive leader. A policeman with a personal commitment to help those less fortunate finds Grace attractive and longs to help her, but Grace believes such men cannot be trusted. Spread thin between her quest to rescue her mother, do well in a new nanny job, and avoid the gang intent on intimidating her, Grace must put her faith in unlikely sources to learn the true meaning of courage and forgiveness.

Osteoporosis affects more than 25 million people in the United States. The majority of bone fractures in older women are related to osteoporosis. Calcium intake and physical activity are two modifiable behaviors associated with peak bone mass. Interventions targeting these behaviors among youth have tremendous public health potential for preventing osteoporosis. This study will assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a 2-year behavioral program designed to increase calcium intake and physical activity among girls ages 9 to 11.
Thirty Girl Scout troops will be recruited for the study. Girls will be randomized either to the eating and exercise behavior change program or to a control group. Program components focus on behavioral skills development, goal setting, and self-monitoring for dietary calcium intake and physical activity. The program also works to increase social support from peers and parents. The program will take place during 10 weeks of both the 5th and 6th grade years. The program also includes supporting programs during winter and summer breaks. Outcome assessments will be conducted at baseline, and at 6, 12, and 24 months. Primary outcomes will include dietary calcium intake, physical activity, and bone mineral density.

Experts said an analysis of the 1967 Abortion Act and subsequent case law showed it would be legal and would help improve access to abortion services.
They said a doctor would need to be in overall charge but not necessarily present, the Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care reported.
But the government said it disputed the conclusion.
At present nurses only give medications to induce abortions.
However, the experts only advocated the role for early abortions, as late abortions are more complex due to the size of the foetus and possible complications.
The suggestion has sparked controversy, with anti-abortion campaigners saying it would remove the safeguards.
But health professionals said they would not be opposed to the move.
The analysis by Vincent Argent, a consultant gynaecologist with legal training, and Lin Pavey, a nurse and former manager of a clinic run by abortion provider British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), said that the Abortion Act had demanded a registered doctor carry out the termination.
But the Royal College of Nursing then sought court advice in 1981 to clarify the legal position of nurses carrying terminations using a pill.
It was ruled that, like other hospital treatments, terminations were carried out as part of a team and that, as long as the procedure was carried out on the instruction of a doctor, that met the requirements of the law.
The report authors concluded that, as the judgement made no distinction between a surgical abortion or medical abortion, nurses should be allowed to carry out terminations.
But Anthony Ozimic, political secretary of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, said: "Do nurses really want to perform abortions, the killing of innocent human beings?
"The pro-abortion lobby claim that so-called safe, legal abortion was necessary to safeguard women's health yet, having achieved legal abortion, the pro-abortion lobby now wants to remove safeguards by getting nurses to do doctors' dirty work for them."
Madelaine Ward, a family planning nurse and former chairperson of the Abortion Law Reform Association, now known as Abortion Rights, said: "In so many areas of health provision, nurses have provided improvements in access to and quality of care.
"The time is now right for nurses to be trained to perform early surgical abortions under the supervision of a registered medical practitioner."
And a spokeswoman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists added: "The role of nursing is being extended and there is no reason why, with the correct training, nurses cannot carry out surgical abortions.
"It could also help to improve access to services, which is something we would support."
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "We will consider this article in more detail, but the Department of Health currently takes the view that the case law referred to in the article does not authorise a nurse to perform a surgical abortion."

CHARLESTON, SC Jan. 17, 2013 – College of Charleston will welcome Gardner-Webb to the Stern Center pool for the final home meet of the 2012-13 season. The meet will kick off on Friday, Jan. 18 and 6 p.m. and continue on Saturday, Jan. 19 at 10 a.m.
College of Charleston will be honoring the careers of a special group of seniors in Eric Craig, Peter Gibbons, Gracie Herlong, Ali Leberfinger, Jordan Fogarty and Jackie Tully.
The Cougars are coming off a meet victory over Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) and Campbell last weekend at the Stern Center. The Cougars tallied 16 individual event titles and Gibbons earned his third CCSA Male Diver of the Week award.
Pablo Ortiz, Dave Sherrier and Greg Karel continued to be dominant on the men's side, while Sarah Boyle and Sarah Graif won multiple event titles on the women's side.
Graif currently ranks second in the CCSA with top times of 23.05 and 50.95 in the 50 and 100 free. Boyle's top time of 56.69 in the 100 back is currently third highest in the league.
Karel owns the top time in the league in the 50 free (21.01) and the third fastest-time in the 100 free (46.89), trailing Sherrier (46.80) and teammate Alex Wood (46.02). Sherrier has also swam the second-fastest 200 free time (1:41.56) and is third in the 500 free (4:40.20). Ortiz owns the fastest time in the 200 fly (1:52.15).

awesome and...
congrats on the the 2nd place u really worked hard on it i see :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is why you're of my favorite authors...
...you have such great, creative humor. :)
I've noticed some people that included the phrase "BEST FLASH EVER!" in their reviews; and I, too, have to admit that this is probably one of the best flash animations you've EVER made for 2008, especially with the great, creative humor you've put into it, as I've said before. Seriously, a Z-gear in a car? SHEER GENIUS. :D
The other bits of humor that made me lol was seeing the carolers sing about Zanta's return (and how they eventually exploded), you and Tom dancing to Winter Wonderland in the car, while Matt was totally freaked out, the first airplane pilot being curious about how planes could fly if they were heavy in the first place (seriously, how DO they fly?), and the presents you, Matt, and Tom got.
I also thought that the music in some parts were fitting to the themes, such as the theme music for Zanta's lair.
And that's all I have to say. Merry Christmas of 2008, Edd!
P.S. Tord was MY favorite, too. XP
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very nice done
Like always I like ur Style and your humor. So it have to be, cause u are the only favorite artist which I have in my list. But I am really missing the four guys thing. How could it be, was there something so really bad u had to cut him out?
Nice Story nice Flash thank you again for ur work u did.

u have to love zanta because hes a hilariously original character
p.s. i have watched or played every game and movie u have ever made u rock!!!

Perhaps the biggest blockbuster this summer, "Star Trek Into Darkness" nonetheless throws more than a few curve balls: It is pensive, frosty and often curt, and comes elegantly and aptly dressed in several shades of black. Though there are many moments of humor and thrilling adventure, the story seems enshrouded in a dark cloud of sadness.
After a lighthearted opening set piece (recalling something from "Pirates of the Caribbean"), the first act is mired in death: A terrorist attack in London leads to a blood-soaked assault on Star Fleet headquarters just as the commanding officers are holding an emergency meeting. Kirk (Chris Pine) loses his mentor and admiral (Bruce Greenwood) in the carnage and is subsequently sent on a politically sensitive manhunt mission.
You don't have to be a Trekkie to derive satisfaction from this "Star Trek," though director J.J. Abrams stuffs the entire package with geek-pampering details, enough to fuel hundreds of hours of heated online discussions. (Apparently the Trekkie convention held in Las Vegas in early August saw more than a few Enterprise devotees in spasms of sheer delight.) Ultimately, "Into Darkness" is prophetic and profound, vying for a place in the sci-fi Hall of Fame that houses "Blade Runner" and, well, the original "Star Trek."

Instead of taking cues from Philip K. Dick, however, the writing team headed by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman draw their inspiration from real life, and let's face it, there's no shortage of material. Star Fleet's war on terrorism turns out to be something more complicated, and Kirk discovers how quickly the rhetoric of justice and ambition can change to the rhetoric of power-hungry destruction.
Abrams' assembled cast is excellent, and Pine shows himself considerably matured since he last sat in the captain's chair. Going against the trend of recent superhero action extravaganzas, "Into Darkness" is very much a character-driven film, especially focusing on the evolving relationship between Kirk and Spock (Zachary Quinto), and inviting the audience to engage with the crew, watch their expressions and savor every line.
Everyone will have a favorite — mine is Sulu (John Cho), who comes off here as an Everyman Asian or a space-age salaryman. Karl Urban as Bones wields ever-more-mangled metaphors. And as chief engineer Scotty, British comedy actor Simon Pegg — who after "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" has become the official Hollywood blockbuster tech guy — gets a welcome expanded role.
Pegg is joined by compatriot newcomer Alice Eve, who plays beautiful and brainy weapons expert Carol, obviously destined for a fling with Kirk in a later franchise installment (indeed the character bore Kirk's son in her previous incarnation in 1982's "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan").
But the real scene-stealer is fellow Brit Benedict "Sherlock Holmes" Cumberbatch as the villain John Harrison, who oozes the British public schoolboy thing from every pore while wreaking absolute havoc on the universe. Like Holmes, Harrison has no interest in worldly pleasures and lives only to practice his chosen art. "Cool" doesn't begin to describe him — and nor does the titular "darkness."

Data segmentation
Yandex.Metrica collects and processes a large volume of information about site users. For certain business cases, sometimes you need to get a subset of data from this large dataset.
In addition to selecting user sessions for a specific action (such as viewing a specific page or click-throughs from a particular source), Yandex.Metrica lets you select user parameters such as gender, age, and so on.
It may also be important to get statistics on users who performed a certain action in the past, and analyze the connection between past and present behavior. The data that Yandex.Metrica uses for making a report like this can be shown as follows:
To build a report with just the data you are looking for, create a segment with the relevant conditions.
You can create segments both in the web interface and using the Yandex.Metrica API. Each of these ways allows creating up to 500 segments. This means that you can have a total of up to 1000 segments per counter.
When working with segments, there are some differences you should consider:
- Segments created in the web interface can be used in Yandex.Direct and Yandex.Audience.
- Segments created via the API can only be used for retargeting in Yandex.Direct. They are not shown in the Yandex.Metrica web interface.

All day I have been doing my best to avoid sports talk radio, columns, ESPN or any other outlet geared towards what happened last night. Like a drug addict vowing to kick the habit for the final time, however, I'm in too deep and couldn't resist temptation regardless of my efforts. I knew what today had in store and for the most part, it is what I expected.
— "LeBron just isn't built for this."
— "Miami overachieved all year."
— "Finally, we can put those Jordan comparisons away now."
There's more, but you get the point. And while all may be true in some sense, none of that really shocked me. I credit the self-counseling I walked myself through during the third and fourth quarters of Game 6. Outside of the city of Dallas, no one area is more ecstatic over last night's victory than Cleveland, better yet the state of Ohio. Hatred and bitterness knows no expiration date, but this next sentence may up the ante to historic animosity. Governor John Kasich issued a resolution "honoring the champions on a successful season and declared members of the team and their fans to be "Honorary Ohioans."
"Honorary Ohioans?" What the 747 flying f*ck? Really? For months, I have known and even openly embraced "The Decision" being the NBA equivalent to Hulk Hogan turning nWo. Now, the disdain is spanning far beyond sports and we appear to be reaching unprecedented levels. LeBron James, from his own actions multiplied with the media attention on every step he takes, is the most hated man in pop culture.
I'll refrain from going on and on because what is understood does not need the energy of any additional words, but the next question is an honest one. At this point, are actions like these testaments to how much Ohio hates LeBron, or how much they still love and miss him?

Looking or some kibitzing on a letter to Adam Smith...
I am writing you regarding your statement on the President's plan to reduce gun violence.
As a lawyer you are probably familiar with the Supreme Court decision District of Columbia v. Heller 554 US 570 (2008). In this decision, the Supreme Court has expanded on the ruling of United State v. Miller 370 US 174 (1939) that the second amendment protects the people's individual right to bear arms. In Miller, as you probably know the Court held that those arms protected are those suitable for militia purposes. Heller further expanded on that definition as those in the common use for lawful purposes. I can't imagine any group The People could not point to more as having arms in the common use for a lawful purpose than the various law enforcement agencies across the nation.
According to those decisions ANY attempt to ban the arms used by our police forces would waste an excessive amount of national treasure on the enacting, enforcing, and legal defense of such a law that has a high probability of being struck down by a legal challenge.
While the court, in both decisions has affirmed the ability to regulate those "dangerous and unusual weapons" in, for example, the National Firearms Act. And as a citizen interested in reasonable measures, I can support this. The military may have the fully automatic M4 in common use, but soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines do not purchase their own M4, nor do they get to take them home at night. The government retains possession of these arms and the various servicemen and women only acquire them while directly acting as an agent of the government.
This is not so with what you term the military style AR-15. If it must be termed at all, a more accurate determination would be the civilian or police style rifle. The AR-15 platform is semi-automatic, and not select-fire or fully automatic. Nearly all military style rifles are now fully automatic.
In many cases the officers in a law enforcement agency are able to purchase their own sidearm and rifle from a list of approved vendors and styles, and use it for their job. This firearm is then their personal property. They take it home at night. Allowing an agent of the government at any level the personal ownership of an arm or category of arms not available to the general public would almost certainly violate the second amendment.
Instead of this waste of tax revenue, I urge you to instead help direct these funds into measures to improve the mental health reporting to the NICS database that should have prevented the Virginia Tech killer from legally purchasing handguns.
I urge you to direct these moneys to the school boards to increase physical security at our schools. Every single public school in my neighborhood is an open grounds. There are no fences restricting access to paths that are easily monitored and controlled. The Jewish Day School at (insert Address here) demonstrates an effective physical security plan that doesn't make the school look like a prison, and could be a model for the rest of our schools.
I urge you to direct these moneys to increased support organizations for those people finding the transition from a child to an independent adult difficult. So many of the people committing these atrocities are mentally disturbed and lost making that transition from a child in their parents home on their parents' income to an individual on their own going to higher education, or failing to do so.
Anyone have any feedback?

Lillian Dameron
Just a question for you reference your bio on Lillian. You have listed she had two children with Ralph Fox. I am researching this line and do have a child of Ralph's by the name of Harold. Harold was born in 1943. Ralph did not remarry until 1944 so I would assume Harold is Lillian's? Do you know anything about this family? I would greatly appreciate any help! Thx! :)

Museville Cemetery, VA
I hope you can help me. I'm researching my Oakes family genealogy & know some relatives are buried in Museville Christian Church Cemetery, VA. I thought the cemetery was in Pittsylvania Co, VA. but I find there's also another cemetery by the same name in Franklin Co, VA. that's listed on findagrave. I find Oakes in both cemeteries. Could you tell me if there is actually 2 separate cemeteries with the same name but in different counties in VA or is it the same cemetery...and if it's just one cemetery could you please tell me which county is the correct one, Pittsylvania or Franklin?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
