Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Bundt Cake
5 Comments | Written on October 17, 2012 at 12:00 am , by Kristina Vanni
Every year about this time, I am reminded that chocolate and pumpkin are a match made in heaven. Together, they create a sweet and rich combination that is simply irresistible! This recipe for "Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Bundt Cake" is perfect for a party. Garnish with candy corn or mini pumpkins and you have a picture-perfect festive treat!
Keep reading for this decadent Fall recipe…
Who needs to ask "trick or treat?" I'll take this treat every time!
Now about this triple chocolate…
Chocolate is melted and mixed into the cake batter, mini chocolate chips are incorporated into the cake, and chocolate fudge topping is drizzled over the finished product!
Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Bundt Cake
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
12 oz mini chocolate chips
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
4 jumbo eggs
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted, cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups pumpkin puree, canned or fresh
Chocolate ice cream topping, warmed to drizzling consistency
1. Heat oven to 325. Butter and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
2. Sift 3 cups flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and allspice onto sheet of waxed paper or into bowl. Toss chocolate chips with 2 teaspoons of the flour mixture in separate bowl.
3. Beat 1 cup butter in mixer bowl or medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add granulated sugar in two additions, beating on high speed for 2 minutes after each addition. Add brown sugar, beat for 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. After all the eggs have been added, beat on high speed for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl often with a rubber spatula. On low speed, beat in melted chocolate and the vanilla until thoroughly combined. Still on low speed, beat in flour mixture in three additions and pumpkin puree in two, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Pour batter into prepared pan; bake in lower third of oven until wooden pick inserted into cake is withdrawn clean and dry, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes. Turn out of pan onto wire rack to cool completely.
5. Before serving, drizzle warm chocolate ice cream topping evenly over cake.

Well, am I the only one???????????
I am feeling fine. I guess that is why I stay pregnant so long! The only time I feel uncomfortable is at night when she really gets moving & this huge bump appears on my belly. I keep telling her there is more room on the outside, but she does not listen. *sigh*
I have another prenatal today. I am now seeing my midwife 2ce a week. She is coming to me today, so that is nice. My friend that went beyond 42 weeks with her last one (which was baby #4) sent me an email of encouragement. I need to hear stories of women going late. Give me hope that I am not broke.
Had my henna tatoo touched up yesterday. I want it to still be nice when I have a baby.
Well need to straighten up my house for the midwife. Have a good Saturday.
(This was the day I "predicted" I'd have a baby, oh well!!)
Still with you...
I'm still here too. Its really really hot here, mabey that will push the babe into comming out. I wish
Many sighs around . . . I'm still here too. This weekend is my EDD by the Wood's Method, so I was hoping to have the babe by now as well. I wake up feeling very optimistic each day, but as the day progresses, it gets harder. I am thankful that he seems very healthy, kicking around lots (ouch!), and that I'm not in any terrible discomfort myself.
I spoke with a friend at the farmer's market this morning. She was overdue at this time last year and ended up going nine days overdue. That would be tomorrow for me, and nine days is sounding pretty darn good right now!
It is hot here today, but I'm going to try and walk our stairs for a few minutes each hour, and then do some longer walking outside tonight. My friend said going up and down a hill ended up doing it for her, so I may as well give that a try. At least moving is beneficial regardless, and it helps to take my mind off of things.
I am also up and down emotionally. Last night it seemed like I was having lots of contractions, but of course the same sort I've been having all along - too light to do anything, but I counted them and they got up to as frequently as every 8-10 minutes, which got me a bit excited, but then after a couple hours I didn't even have that, didn't notice any while I slept and I just woke up and nothing is going on now.
for all of you. Hang in there...I'm certain you can't be pregnant forever...right?
The midwife just left. I had my prenatal at home. It is so nice to be reasured all is well.
We talked more about my "due date". I pulled out my 2004 calendar & we went over those long lost dates. Depending on which date you use, scant spotting vs full period flow show me just at 41 weeks or slightly over. If you used what I think is conception date, I am only 5 days over 40 weeks.
Just goes to show you EDD are not scientific. Oh & we compared them to my ultrasound dates & the closest one was to my full flow period day, vs the scant or even conception date.
We also talked about what makes Moms go into labor & that they are finding is that it is babies adrenal glands secrete hormones that talk to the Moms's & then get labor going. Pretty interesting.
Hold Strong!!!
Hi ladies! So I'm 41 weeks and 1 day today. This was my woods EDD. And the date that I predicted I would deliver my baby when I first found out I was pg. Well, so far I've been proven wrong. I've had nothing to indicate labor is looming at all today. I think I've had one slightly uncomfortable contraction. I went and got a manicure and a pedicure today. They gave me like a 30 minute massage, it was sooooo nice. I was really hoping that it might stimulate something. But so far not a thing.
I had been hoping that the baby would come before June because we wanted to go to Cali and visit our family in July. I was aiming for traveling when the baby is about 1 month old and hoping to be there for DH's and my 1st anniversary on July 4th. That's exactly one month from today!!! Come on baby, you'll really like it out here, I swear!!!!!
Debstmomy-Where in So Cal are you? If you're not too far from my family, maybe we could get together while I'm down there. My mom and dad are in Ladera Ranch, one of my sister's is in Orange and the other lives in Yorba Linda. And I'm sure we'll be spending time at my aunts house in Newport. Are you close by? That would be cool.

High Strength Plates & Profiles Inc., a company that processes high-strength plate and sheet steel, has been fined $110,000 in the death of a worker at its operation centre in Lively, located just outside of Sudbury.
On May 21, 2013, a worker who had been employed at the centre for a short period of time was engaged in material handling. Using a 15-ton overhead crane, the worker was moving a large steel plate weighing more than 7,800 pounds from a plate pile. The worker was using a two-point lift with pups (hooks that are part of the lifting device) to move the plate; the company instructs operators to use four pups for heavy plate lifts. In cases where two-point lifts are done with pups, the operator relies on the centre of gravity for lifting.
The worker was using a hand-held remote device to operate the crane. During the move, the plate became unstable and shifted.
While the plate was shifting but before it tipped, the worker moved around the plate into a pinch point between the suspended plate and a plate pile. The plate continued to slide and struck the worker, pinning the worker under the plate and causing fatal injuries.
High Strength Plates & Profiles Inc. pleaded guilty to failing as an employer to ensure that materials required to be lifted, carried or moved were moved in such a way and with such precautions and safeguards as to not endanger the safety of a worker, and was fined $110,000.
The fine was imposed by Justice of the Peace Pierre O. Leclerc. In addition to the fine, the court imposed a 25 per cent victim fine surcharge as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

|On the first ascent I was leading the pillar and placed a over my head screw. Climbing up to go beyond the screw I kicked into the gate of the carabiner attached to the screw and the gate closed on my crampon. Stuck and angry, first thing I did was weld the axes, have a cursing fit about how stupid I was, place a not so hot screw, get lowered off these three things, make my stuck leg bent max at the knee, be in that position taking off the crampon. When free of it I still had to get the crampon back on my foot and continuing climbing up to the stuff with one ax. This probably took 45+ minutes, the day was cold and I had to do stuff dealing with that crampon without my gloves on. Tom wasn't cold and was very entertained by my foolery.

To the Editor:
I am writing today to express my support for Greg Payer in the race for Mayor of Champlin. I have known Greg and his family for many years. Is knowledge and open-mindedness has been something my husband and I have come to depend on when seeking advice or assistance in a variety of matters.
I attended the candidate forum last month during which the three candidates for mayor answered questions regarding various issues both current and forthcoming. Mr. Payer answered the questions in the intelligent and non-nonsense manner to which I have become accustomed. For instance, there was some debate abut whether companies considering a move to Champlin should be given "incentives" in order to make Champlin a more alluring choice when making their decision on where they should locate. One of the candidates suggested that this might be a good option for the city. Mr. Payer pointed out that by offering incentives to prospective businesses, you're causing the already established businesses to feel cheated. We all know how frustrating it is when the cable company for example, offers "new customers only" a great new rate while those of us who have been dedicated customers for years aren't offered the same rate. Mr. Payer has the insight and maturity to dig deeper into an issue rather than jump blindly into seemingly simple fixes.
Mr. Payer is a long-time resident of Champlin and has experience serving on the Champlin City Council, both of which afford him the expertise necessary to make informed decisions and to know what works and what doesn't work for the City of Champlin.
In closing, Mr. Payer has been a go-to person for my family. Knowing how much he cares about the City of Champlin, I have no doubt that his awareness and caring attitude make him the ideal person for the job. He will be an excellent mayor. Please join me in voting Payer for Mayor.

Sure, the Steelers are about to lose another game to their division-leading rivals because of injuries, but Casey Hampton ain't care. He's getting another free hot dog!
He's also ready to deal with their fans at M&T Bank Stadium.
"They tough," said Hampton. "They talk just as bad as anybody else. I've heard every fat thing in the world so that doesn't bother me too much. Sticks and stones, man, I know I'm fat it ain't no big deal. There's one fan, I don't know his name but we go at it every year. He brings me a hot dog out and everything. He takes care of me. That's my guy."
Does Hampton eat the hot dog?
"All the time, no question," said Hampton. "After the first couple of times seeing there was nothing wrong with it. It's pretty good. Just plain, before the game I don't want to upset my stomach too much. I just eat it plain. Usually, I'll put ketchup and mustard on [a hot dog] though. A little gatorade with it, it's good."
Accept an Esskay beef frank from a random Baltimore person who hates you? Probably not the best idea. In other news, Casey Hampton has all the diseases now. And not just the diabeetus.

DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. (Apr. 26, 2014) – Junior Jesse Wood (Binghamton, N.Y. / Seton Catholic Central) recorded his 200th career point and became just the 23rd player in Division II history to record 100 career assists as the Mercy College men's lacrosse team posted its 10th win of the season with a 17-10 victory over East Coast Conference associate member Dominican College to close out the season on Saturday afternoon.
Mercy finishes at 10-6 overall and 3-5 in the ECC while Dominican ends the year 1-13 (0-8).
Mercy broke out of the gates on fire, ripping five unanswered goals in the first quarter and adding another to lead 6-0 early in the second quarter. Dominican was able to play back into the mix with a 5-1 run that made it a two-goal game with 10:09 left in the third quarter but a run of four straight goals pushed Mercy well ahead once again. The teams traded goals in the final minute as the Mavericks took a 12-6 lead heading into the final quarter.
The Chargers put an early scare in the Mavericks with two quick goals to start the fourth quarter, but Mercy regained control and posted a 5-2 advantage over the final 12 minutes to seal the 17-10 victory.
Wood tallied nine points as he netted a brace and dished out a career-high seven assists while also grabbing an impressive nine ground balls. Senior Zack Zangle (West Babylon, N.Y. / West Babylon), freshman Daniel Speicher (Seaford, N.Y. / Seaford) and sophomore Owen Valance (Glen Cove, N.Y. / McDaniel College) scored two goals apiece, with Speicher doing so after a four-game absence due to injury. Freshman Nick Wilcox (Hamburg, N.Y. / Hamburg) and junior Zack Haun (West Seneca, N.Y. / West Seneca East Senior) totaled two points apiece on a goal and an assist, while freshman Nathan Korutz (Johnson City, N.Y. / Johnson City), junior Stephen Dunne (Melville, N.Y. / Half Hollow Hills East), graduate students Kevin Glueckert (Bethpage, N.Y. / Univ. at Albany) and Cody Jaworski (Marietta, N.Y. / Tully), sophomores Thomas Lackaye (Summit, N.J. / Summit) and Kyle Stockton (Medford, N.Y. / Patchogue-Medford) and senior Ryan Elfeld (Long Beach, N.Y. / Jacksonville Univ.) each scored once as well. Lackaye also went 11-of-16 on faceoffs.
Sophomore Danny Chillianis (Bethpage, N.Y. / Bethpage) recorded five ground balls and five caused turnovers on defense while senior Mike Cashman (Bethpage, N.Y. / Bethpage) made 11 saves over 50 minutes to improve his career record to 9-1 and sophomore Justin Seltzer (Closter, N.J. / Northern Valley Demarest) made three saves on five shots over 10 minutes.
The Mavericks reached double digits in wins for the third time in the five-year history of the program, receiving votes in the national rankings poll for the third season as well. Mercy set single-season program records for goals scored (175) and allowed (89).
Wood became the program's all-time leader in career points midway through the year and shattered the single-season records for goals (48), assists (44) and points (92) while leading Division II in points per game (5.75). His 92 points this year are the highest total for an individual player since 2006, while his 5.75 points per game rate is the best since 2008. His 206 career points rank just outside of the Top 25 in Division II history, while his 104 career assists rank 19th in history and his career assist rate (2.31) ranks 18th all-time. Glueckert also set a number of high-water marks on faceoffs, as he became the program's all-time leader in career faceoff percentage (.655) and single-season faceoffs won (182) and percentage (.655). He ranks third in the nation among all active payers in faceoff percentage and fourth this season, leading the ECC.

For 21/2 years, Wallabies Kids sold heaps of children's clothing, as well as swings, bouncer seats and countless toys — all used but in great condition.
Nicky McGinnis and Kim Hendrick had a thriving business. Two employees had good jobs. And thousands of west Pasco parents had an affordable place to buy the things their kids needed — and get some cash for their old gear.
That all ended last Tuesday, when Wallabies closed its New Port Richey resale shop for good.
The venture, the owners decided with heavy hearts and teary eyes, had become too risky.
"We wanted to make sure all our items were safe," McGinnis said. "And without testing you're not 100 percent sure."
Most parents have heard about the new law going into effect Tuesday that prohibits the sale of any children's products that exceed a certain amount of lead. The standards apply to any goods for children under 12, including clothing, furniture and, obviously, toys.
The Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act of 2008, born of the lead scare a year and a half ago, requires retailers to certify their goods meet the new safety standards. Fine if you're Wal-Mart, importing thousands of the same toy from China. You get the manufacturer or an independent tester to provide the documentation that this particular toy isn't toxic.
But what if you're Wallabies? You get thousands of different items from your customers: die-cast cars and xylophones, action figures and activity tables, plush bears with painted noses and tiny jeans with appliques and colored snaps. The cost of testing each one for lead would bankrupt you.
Amid the groundswell of protests from resale and thrift store owners — and the legions of parents who rely on such stores — the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a "clarification" of the law last month:
Resellers are not required to test their inventory for lead. But they are not allowed to sell anything that exceeds the lead standards (600 parts per million total lead). And if they do, they could face civil or criminal penalties.
That gave little comfort to the ladies at Wallabies. They closely monitored the recall lists, but without testing each item themselves, how could they be sure they didn't sell a bad one?
When the landlord asked in January if Wallabies would be renewing its lease for the Little Road storefront, the ladies said no.
"We were not willing to take the risk on a three-year lease, not knowing what the lead law was going to do," McGinnis said.
It was the same story for Neon Daisy, a charming little consignment shop on Seven Springs Boulevard in New Port Richey that recently closed its doors.
"My concern was that we could be sued if someone purchased something that had too much lead content, and I did not feel comfortable with that," owner Lynn Brownsword said. "Everyone in this society seems to be sue happy, especially with the economy."
As a mother of two small children — and frequent shopper and seller at consignment shops — I'm saddened to see them go. Such shops make it easier to clothe our ever-growing kids, splurge on the otherwise-pricier playthings and get a little money back on the items our kids outgrew too fast.
I don't blame these store owners for throwing up their hands in the face of a somewhat contradictory law that places all of the liability on their shoulders.
But I am pleased to report other consignment shops have dug in their heels.
Crystal Reposa, owner of Katie's Closet on U.S. 19 in Port Richey, has consulted with two attorneys on the issue. Her husband also spoke with officials at the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who told him most manufacturers have been creating toys for the past five or six years that comply with the 600-parts-per-million lead limit. The problematic toys were identified in the rash of recalls a year and a half ago.
"We're just paying extra close attention to the recall list and making sure the list is up-to-date to make sure we protect the children as best we can," Reposa said. She has also cleared her shelves of the types of items that may contain lead, such as wooden and metal painted toys and vinyl rain jackets.
Carol Vaporis, owner of Duck Duck Goose Consignment on State Road 54 in New Port Richey, has become a human encyclopedia on the topic of lead testing and regulation.
"It's just me and my sister that run the store, and the two of us, almost 24 hours a day — if we're not sleeping — are constantly into the research and the awareness of what's going on with the law," Vaporis said. "I think it's going be a very active week this week."
She holds out hope for legislation proposed by U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., that would, among other things, exempt resale shops from this law. In a prepared release, DeMint says such stores "were never the source of the product safety concerns encountered last year, and they won't be in the future. They are good actors trying to provide Americans of modest means with value oriented products."
Vaporis also is putting together two notebooks: one with information on products certified to be safe, so she can confidently accept them in her store; and one with information on items that appear risky, so she knows which items to decline.
Some of the riskier types of items are being flagged on Web sites such as thesmartmama.com, run by California environmental attorney Jennifer Taggart. She provides XRF testing — using a handheld X-ray device that can detect lead and other harmful metals — and posts information on potentially dangerous items.
"We're trying to memorize the guidelines that thesmartmama.com and other organizations are setting up, and if anything looks suspicious, we don't take it," Vaporis said.
These stores are doing their part, but we parents need to do our part, too.
In the past few months, recalls have been issued for 75,000 lip gloss keychains, 8,400 skull-and-crossbones necklaces and about 400 science kit magnets, all because they contained lead-laced pieces. They weren't designed, marketed or sold to small children, but toxic to them all the same.
The new restrictions on those who manufacture or sell children's items wouldn't have kept those things out of your house. Ultimately we're responsible for what we bring home. And it's up to us to do our research, make smart purchases and keep potentially dangerous things out of our children's reach.
There's a silver lining in all of this for the co-owners of Wallabies: They'll get to return to being stay-at-home moms.
"We've had three years of Saturdays without going to football and cheerleading and birthday parties," McGinnis said. "Our families do need us, and we had put three years of their lives on hold."
And McGinnis will be back in resale shops — as a customer.
"I have confidence in what I'm buying for my children," she said. "You use common sense."

Nice for the price. Would reverse the exterior colors, light on top dark below. Don't know why leaving the curtains helps, but plenty of glass. Very large foyer and looks well maintained. Big yard and good possibilities. Probably would sell for that much in Richmond Va.
Eeek I would by this house in a heartbeat but #1 we just bought our first home #2 its closer to Milwaukee than Madison. Such a great space!
I am swooning! I love the turquoise exterior with the coral door, gorgeous!

Chinese data cast something of a positive spell on many markets including, a little, on agricultural commodities.
A purchasing managers' index for factories in the world's second-ranked economy showed a reading of 49.1, still signalling decline (in being less than 50.0), but a slower one than of late.
Indeed, a new orders' index of 49.7 represented a six-month high.
That was enough to provoke a revival in the price of many assets, including European shares, which traded a touch higher in early deals.
The dollar dropped too, by 0.2%, in a signal of a less risk averse stance.
Wheat imports soar
And commodities had extra Chinese statistics to deal with too, some of which were positive.
In wheat, for instance, Chinese imports last month came in at a 524,000 tonnes, nearly three times those of September last year, and amid growing ideas over the country's appetite for the grain.
It also took imports for the first nine months of the year to 3.2m tonnes, the highest since 2005.
Besides representing an alternative to corn in feed, China's wheat imports come amid ideas that its harvest this year was nowhere near as strong as US Department of Agriculture data have it, at some 118m tonnes.
Some analysts have talked of figures 10m tonnes less, thanks to observations of disease.
Signally, China has purchased this month 295,000 tonnes of high-protein, ie milling rather than feed, wheat from Canada.
This, of course, did not show up in the September data, which showed 426,000 tonnes coming from Australia (likely to be largely feed wheat), and 83,000 tonnes from the US.
'Raising concern'
However, this comes against a backdrop of concerns that commodities are of waning appeal to investors.
"Weakness in the CRB index," a broad commodities index which on Tuesday hit its lowest since early August," is raising concern about additional fund liquidation due to the lack of upward momentum in commodity prices and continued concerns about the state of the global economy", Brian Henry at Benson Quinn Commodities said.
'Crop issues continue to loom'
What wheat also had on its side, however, helping futures to recover early losses was official confirmation from Ukraine of an export ban from November 15.
As an additional support, there are growing concerns over the Argentine crop, with wet weather reported to be promoting the spread of disease, besides causing crop losses from physical flood damage.
Nor do Australia's crops look set for late rains which could still make a difference in some areas still in grainfill.
"Australia's key winter cropping regions are forecast to remain mostly dry through to the end of the month, an extension of the recent drying trend," Luke Mathews at Commonwealth Bank of Australia said.
Indeed, "crop issues continue to loom over the market," Mr Mathews said, noting also that "Russia's 2013 Volga River winter wheat crop appears set for another difficult season with persistent dryness resulting in lower planted area and poorly established crop".
Mexico deal
Wheat for December added 0.4% to $8.72 a bushel in December as 09:10 UK time (03:10 Chicago time), extending its declines of the last session.
And corn recouped losses to make some headway too, with Chinese data showing imports of the grain last month, at nearly 386,000 tonnes, nearly twice those of a year before.
The market has also been negotiating the loss of US trade to major customer Mexico, which on Tuesday was revealed to have chosen other supplies (probably Brazilian) for a 270,000-tonne deal previously booked as optional origin.
Options pull
There is also the gravitational pull from options, and their forthcoming expiry, to deal with.
"It is worth noting that the bulk of the November option open interest for both calls and puts is at the $7.50-a-bushel strike level," Mr Henry said.
"Typically option expiration on serial months doesn't offer much influence, but the fact the Nov options have high open interest near a key psychological level may result in the December corn futures contract migrating back towards the $7.50 price level for the balance of the week."
The contract stood at $7.56 Ľ a bushel, a gain of 0.25 cents.
'Concerns about planting conditions'
Soybeans, meanwhile, posted modest, gains, of 0.2% to $15.56 ˝ a bushel for the November lot.
At Phillip Futures, Ker Chung Yang flagged support to the market in the last session from late commercial buying".
Furthermore, "over the long term, fundamentals are strong with a tight supply and solid demand", and "there are concerns about planting conditions around the South American continent", as highlighted by Agrimoney.com last week.
In fact, reports are mixed over the prospect of much-needed dryness in Argentina, and rains in northern Brazil.
CBA's Luke Mathews noted a World Weather outlook for Brazil "that rainfall in centre south regions will help crops following the recent drying trend.
"However, the rainfall is forecast to be generally light and crop stress may soon return."
Softs soften
Among soft commodities, Chinese data show imports of cotton (of which it is the top buyer) at 263,000 tonnes last month, up a modest 4.0% year on year, but down some 14% on the August number.
With the price protection from low certified inventories for delivery against New York futures also appearing erode, the December lot shed 1.2% to 73.40 cents a pound in the Big Apple.
Raw sugar fell too, by 0.2% to 19.61 cents a pound for March, even though China imported 586,000 tonnes of the sweetener last month, up 25% year on year, and a small increase year on year.
A decline in China's sugar imports has been a big worry to sugar bulls, with US officials in Beijing estimating they could fall by three-quarters to 1.0m tonnes in the newly started 2012-13.

Baylor's team bus broke down en route to
With two outs and the game tied 2-2 in the bottom of the eighth, Craig Fritsch struck out Matt Vern for what should have been the third out of the inning. However, Vern reached first on a third-strike passed ball. Chris Ellington followed with an RBI double to center, plating Vern for the winning run.
Fritsch (1-2) was saddled with the tough-luck loss; he allowed two runs, both unearned, on four hits and a walk with seven strikeouts over 5.0 innings. Starter Mace Thurman yielded a run on two hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 3.0 innings in a no decision.
Andrew Cashner (4-1) got the win for TCU; he got the Horned Frogs out of a jam in the top of the eighth and held Baylor hitless with a walk and three strikeouts over 1.1 scoreless innings. Starter Seth Garrison held Baylor to one run on three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over 6.2 innings.
TCU manufactured a run in the bottom of the first inning. Ben Carruthers was hit by a pitch to start the inning and moved to second on Bryan Kervin's infield single. After a double steal, Bryan Holaday plated Carruthers with an RBI groundout.
Baylor tied the game in the third. Landis Ware was hit by a pitch to leadoff the inning and later scored on Shaver Hansen's two-out RBI single. TCU recaptured the lead in the fourth; Holaday reached on a two-out error, and Steve Ellington followed with an RBI triple.
Ben Booker tied the game at 2-2 in the eighth with a pinch-hit home run on the inning's first pitch. It was Baylor's first pinch-hit home run since May 22, 2002, when Ross Bennett accomplished the feat at
Dickerson had two of Baylor's seven hits on the night.
Baylor returns to action Wednesday, hosting UTSA for a 6:30 p.m. CDT first pitch at Baylor Ballpark. The Bears send right-hander Wade Mackey (2-1, 4.74 ERA) to the mound. The Roadrunners counter with southpaw Kris Ruepke (1-2, 8.35 ERA).
NOTES: Baylor leads the all-time series 133-104, but TCU has won three straight and five of the last six meetings. TCU holds a 50-48 edge in games played at

Celtic win final tour match
Celtic finished their three-match tour of Australia with a 1-0 win over Melbourne Victory at Ammi Park.
A second-half goal from substitute Scott Brown was enough to give Neil Lennon's side their second victory Down Under.
Celtic, skippered by their Greece striker Georgios Samaras as a tribute to the big Greek community in the city, were worthy of their win in what was another highly-competitive friendly match.
And had it not been for home goalkeeper Tando Velaphi, the margin of victory for Lennon's side would have been greater.
In front of a crowd of 20,794, many of whom were backing the Bhoys, 24-year-old Velaphi pulled off a string of fine saves to thwart Celtic, only to be beaten by Brown's 78th-minute drive.
He twice denied Samaras in the first half and his save from Charlie Mulgrew's free-kick just after the break, when he tipped the ball over the bar, was particularly impressive.

NBA Franchise Notes: TX Rivalry Heats Up; Barkley The Exec?
Published May 19, 2003
In San Antonio, Amy Dorsett reported that the available tickets for Games One and Two of the Mavs-Spurs Western Conference Finals sold out in 45 minutes (SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS, 5/17). The Spurs are not selling tickets for the Western Conference Finals "to anyone north of Austin, a move that Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban doesn't agree with." Cuban: "It's just not the right thing to do. It's not fair to the other owners. Every ticket sold helps me pay for the luxury tax" (FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, 5/18). Cuban estimated the Mavs would gross $1.2M from Saturday's Game Seven against the Kings (SACRAMENTO BEE, 5/18).
SIR CHARLES: In Sacramento, Scott Howard-Cooper reported that TNT analyst Charles Barkley "confirmed that he has held discussions with at least one team about joining the front office as a personnel executive." The team was not identified, and it is unclear "whether Barkley would make roster decisions or be more of a figurehead for a franchise needing a publicity boost" (SACRAMENTO BEE, 5/18).
HEAD OF THE CLASS? In Portland, Jim Beseda profiled Trail Blazers Exec VP Erin Hubert, who "is the leading candidate to succeed Bob Whitsitt as team president." Blazers Owner Paul Allen "plans to hire two people — a president to handle the business side, and a [GM] to deal with basketball-related issues." If Hubert becomes President, "her duties wouldn't change significantly from what she does now. The biggest difference is that she would have a hand in overseeing players' salaries, coaches' salaries and the other expenses that go with running the basketball side of the operation." Hubert: "It got kind of separate there for a while — the whole basketball side of things from the front office side. That's typical in sports ... but I don't think it's healthy for business. I think most teams are figuring that out, and they're all trying to find how better to bridge the two sides" (OREGONIAN, 5/18).

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - Malaysia has reversed its decision to stamp Malay-language Bibles with serial numbers and government seals, softening its stance after Christians criticized the move as desecrating their holy book.
A dispute over the distribution of Malay-language Bibles containing the word "Allah" as a translation for God prompted customs authorities to hold 35,000 Indonesian-made Bibles since 2009. The government bans the use of "Allah" in non-Muslim texts, saying it could confuse Muslims or even be used to convert them.
The government said late Tuesday that it would release the Bibles with only the words "For Christianity" stamped on them. For books already stamped with serial numbers and seals, it said Christian donors have offered to replace them with new imported Bibles.

In 1996, Canavesi had sent photocopies of two photographs to Getty officials and offered to provide fragments from the statue and discuss its provenance. True declined to talk to him, later saying she had been suspicious of his motives. Now, ten years later, the 20 photographs Canavesi showed to the investigators all but screamed that the statue had been looted. After seeing that evidence, the Getty board concluded it was no Canavesi family heirloom. In talks with the Italian Culture Ministry, the museum first sought joint title to the statue, then in November 2006 signaled that it might be willing to give it up.
By then, American museum officials, shaken by news photographs of Marion True trying to shield her face as she walked through the paparazzi outside a Rome courthouse, were making their own arrangements to return artifacts investigators had identified from Giacomo Medici's Polaroids.
The Met made its repatriation deal with Italy in February 2006, the Boston MFA eight months later. The Princeton museum followed in October 2007 with an agreement to transfer title to eight antiquities. In November 2008, the Cleveland Museum committed to give back 13 objects. Just this past September, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts agreed to return a 2,500-year-old vase.
The Getty completed its agreement in August 2007. Previously it had returned four items, including the funerary wreath, to Greece and three to Italy. Now it agreed to return 40 more objects to Italy, the majority of which had been depicted in the Polaroids, plus the goddess. Having played hardball, the Italians relented. They allowed the Getty to keep the statue on display until December 2010.
By the time the statue left for Italy this past March, American museums and the Italian government had come to terms. Even as the museums returned contested objects, Italian officials relaxed their country's long-standing opposition to the long-term loan of antiquities. The Getty and other museums pledged to acquire only artifacts with documented provenance before 1970, the year of the Unesco accord, or legally exported afterward.
Marion True resigned from the Getty in 2005, and her case was dismissed in October 2010, the statute of limitations having expired. Though she has largely melted into private life, she remains a subject of debate in the art world: scapegoat or participant? Tragic or duplicitous?
From Rome, the statue was taken to its new home, the Sicilian town of Aidone, near Morgantina. It seemed as if all 5,000 townspeople turned out to welcome it. A band played as the crates bearing the goddess's parts were wheeled over the cobblestone streets to the town museum.
At a preview of the reassembled statue in May, a local archaeologist named Flavia Zisa wondered whether the goddess's "new mythology"—the whodunit of how she came to rest at the Getty—had overshadowed its "old mythology," the story of her origins and purpose.
"The 'new mythology' has distracted the people," said Zisa. She said she first saw the statue in 1995, as a 32-year-old intern at the Getty Museum (where she became a protégée and friend of Marion True's). "But no one thought of the 'old mythology.' We don't even know the [goddess's] name. We don't even know the objects that were found next to the sculpture. We don't know anything." Indeed, the Aidone museum identifies the sculpture without reference to Aphrodite or Venus. Its plaque reads: "The statue of a female deity from Morgantina, excavated clandestinely and exported illegally, was repatriated in 2011 by the J. Paul Getty Museum of Malibu."
When the statue was officially unveiled the next day, citizens, politicians and others descended on the museum. "There is a deep sense of patriotism in every one of us," said Iana Valenti, who works as an English interpreter. "The return of this statue is very important. It is like a piece of our culture, a piece of our country." A Getty official read a statement by David Bomford, the museum's acting director, saying the decision to return the statue had been "fraught with much debate" but "was, without a doubt, the right decision."

The Day Ahead: How to Build a Worry List
Mother's Day has multiple components. There is the basic of buying your mom a price-gouged tulip arrangement from the Fairway (had my first experience in this store and now get the IPO interest). Then dinner with the family, where son reassures mom that the price-gouged flower can be planted outside. Naturally there is the internal slideshow playing throughout the day, the one that reflects on all of mom's wisdoms shared over the years. Without question she taught you oodles, best to never forget that, even if it's not cool to be gushy with her in public.
To pull a page from my mom's playbook titled "Ridiculously Worry About our Kid," I think it's OK to build a worry list as the market has seemingly gone haywire. I am disturbed by the stock market being able to shrug off any iota of badness, buy in advance of a mysterious 4Q13 GDP pickup and believe that with subpar margin stories, corporate America deserves richer multiples and juicer profit estimates. At some point, and it's nearing, there will be a greater appreciation for negatives in the market and the return of the thesis that Fed easing won't save everything that ails companies and the global macro system. So it's best to be prepared, like today....376 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Pokemon HeartGold Version
How can I get celebi in heart gold and soul silver?????
I really need to know.
Halvy12 - 7 years ago
Top Voted Answer
There will be a pokemon wi-fi event where you receive celebi.
once you recieve it, you take it to the ilex forest shrine, and it will take you back in time and show you your rival argueing with his father giovanni.
afterwards, you battle giovanni, and celbi takes you b ack to ur present time
PokeathlonPro97 - 7 years ago
They'll probaly release a mystery gift for celebi...but for now we play the waiting game.
espio907 - 7 years ago
But the sad thing is that we (in the US) have never gotten the legit Celebi for the originals.
DiglettHead - 7 years ago
They have to have a Nintendo Event on the games for Celebi. It wouldn't be fair if the people did what they did with Celebi in Gold, silver, & Crystal. They only did it with the japanese version(I think they only let you get it Crystal),unless I missed something. I think that psypokes.com said there was going to Nintendo Event for it(they don't know when).
Sun_Guardian - 7 years ago
There most likely will be an event.
Crystal_Paladin - 7 years ago
I think there will be a global event soon. Japan hasn't gotten one yet either so I'm hoping.
As for the guy above there were two legit celebis who says there are no legit Celebis even in the originals: 10th anniversary Celebi(port from GBA and/or risk a WI-FI trade) and Six Flags tour Celebi(originals but you can't port this to D/P/Plat or HS/SS). I know this because Celebi is the one pokemon I can't seem to get and I had Six Flags Celebi in my original silver before it died...
Darkcat1 - 7 years ago
I tried porting my 10thanniv Celebi over but when I went to the shrine nothing happened.
so it's most likely going to be a wifi event.

Casa Verde: Reform Teocha Table
Midcentury furniture designers were right on with their tiered-end tables; two planes are better than one. Or, so says the product description for the Reform Teocha Table ($710). Don't get me wrong, I agree that dual surfaces do double duty, but I'm more concerned with the table's sustainable design. Made of solid bamboo, treated with an environmentally-friendly, water-based walnut stain, and coated with a low VOC clear finish, Teocha is all kinds of eco. Oh! And did I mention that it's flipping gorgeous!? Look at those legs! I wouldn't mind setting my alarm clock down on this beauty — even if that means I have to use it.

The .222 Remington
There is a great article in the current issue of Shooting Times about the .222 Remington. It is too bad that such a great little cartridge as the .222 has lost favor with rifle shooters. I really do love mine. It is extremely accurate, and it is accurate with just about any bullet (40, 50, and 55 grain) and powder combo I shoot through it. Can't say that for some of my other calibers. There are still lots of good used .222's around and even factory ammo is readily available for it. The .222 can do just about anything the .223 can do, but the .223 (with its short neck is inferior to the .222 IMO) became a military cartridge and the .222 did not. That has been the reason the .222 has become so unpopular while the .223 thrives. The .222 was the darling cartridge of the 1950's (it was introduced by Remington in 1950) and probably the most accurate bench rest round of its day.
The .222 is a fine little cartridge, no doubt. IMHO, the .222 Magnum is even better. But neither will do anything that the .223 won't, so now we have one cartridge that replaces two.
The "triple duece" has a reputation as one of the most inherently accurate cartridges in history.
And there are many folks (myself included) who seriously question whether or not there is any such critter as an "inherently accurate" cartridge.
I beg to differ. Many, many rifles chambered for the .222 were not "varmint" rigs. The .222 was chambered in some very inexpensive models. The Remington models 722 and 788, the Savage 340 were economy jobs that were/are extremely accurate when chambered in the .222. I have a 788 in .222 that is the classic "tack driver." Other standard light weight sporter rigs that were not classified as varmint models include the Sako, Remington 700, Winchester Model 70, Savage Model 110, and hundreds of European and Japanese "you name it" brands. All of these models were very accurate when in .222. I'm not sure if I completely agree w/ the inherently accurate moniker, but I can't rule it out. However, almost any cartridge in a good bolt or single shot action that is not necessarily a varmint rig can be made to be very accurate with handloads and a little tweaking.
The 222 is by and far one of the best short range varmint rounds out there with the 22 hornet nipping at its heals.
The 222 was chambered in just about anything that would take it. Some not so high quality guns. It is like Robo said one of the most accurate rounds ever created. That is why the 308 is almost that exact cartridge just blown up some. Take a look at them.
The 222 Mag was meah and the 223 while accurate still not the triple deuce.
The .222 is a classic that will still be around long after we are not, as long as we have shooters that appreciate the finer points. It really does not give anything up to the .223, and is far above the .22 Hornet. It is just plain sexy!
I prefer the hornet when I am devarminting an area with closer neighbors. If I am on my buddies 5k acre ranch banging away at varmints. Well then we use everything from 22lr to 300 RUM's.

I'm against muni-provided connectivity for three reasons. And none of these apply to things like "police" or "fire", so let me explain why the typical analogy to "public services" doesn't apply.
Without "billing", there's no accountability. If I can get free connections, I can send spam to my heart's content, and you can't turn me off, because I can quickly become "another free user" in a matter of microseconds.
And I can start p2p-sharing my child pr0n and ripped movie and song collections, and again, you can't turn me off, because I don't actually have a contract with you to terminate. Sure, you can arrest me, but you have to find me in the mesh. It's not like you have a street address for me. Heck, I might even be operating from a van that constantly drives around.
Whether we like it or not, when citizens start paying for shipping bits, they're gonna want some say in the kinds of things that are being shipped across the wire. The moment the soccer mom figures out that part of her tax dollar is paying for that creepy guy over there to download his pr0n, she's gonna be storming city hall. And she's also going to be complaining loudly when she finds out that her son can access all sorts of evil things "over the city's wireless system!" She'll want controls put in place, and rightfully so. After all, she's paying for it.
As evidence, look at the constant tug-of-war and lawsuits regarding internet access at public libraries. Do you really want to open this up on a city-wide scale? It's the very same issue.
So, no matter how "open" some of us want this, it's going to start getting filtered. We'll never have a truly censorship-free mesh, except for perhaps the first six months. And if there's a constitutional challenge that comes down to a free-speech thing, it'll more likely get shut off than opened back up.
OK, you say. Then if there's enough demand for an uncensored equivalent, some private sector can come along and provide a different mesh that provides the full bits.
Well, that's ignoring the economics of the situtation. To deploy a city-wide private sector net requires a fairly large infrastructure, and that can only be supported by having access to a large customer base. But most of the customers of the "free" citywide net won't be buying, because for them, the "free" net is almost good enough. This is false economics, because they're effectively being subsidized $10 a month by the city's taxbase, and if they had to choose between that and a $15 "get everything" net, they might make a more rational choice.
So, for these reasons, I say that cities must stay out of the wifi business. As much as I'd like "free" wifi, there's no such thing as a free lunch, and as soon as someone realizes they are paying for it, they'll want to control it.
I'd much rather have a few companies vie for my $15, than for me to get censored, slow, no-choice free service.
Disclaimer - I pay $60/month for Verizon's EVDO service. I'd still have that in every city, regardless of what they do. I'm speaking more for the friends of mine that can't justify that sort of cost.
And in that case, I'm all for it. Not because it's private industry (I'm not trying to be a Libertarian-only here), but because it's the kind of thing that private industry can (and does) provide, and therefore the city should stay out of it for the reasons I've listed.
I suspect that in certain cases (Philadelphia ??) the drive for muni wi-fi is fueled by anger at the arrogance of the big telcos and cable companies who dominate internet access.

Kassie Klasen column: Hunger Games series has more than violence to offer
I have to hear a lot of good things about a book before I can start reading it. Once I start reading, it has to be very catchy and interesting for me to finish it. It usually takes me a long time to read a book because I don't set time out to read.
Two of the few books I have read in the past four years are the first two books to the Hunger Games trilogy.
I heard countless raves about the books. I gave them a shot and ended up loving it. After reading the second, it became my favorite book series I had ever read. I haven't read too many but it's hard to imagine one I'd love more than the Hunger Games.
I know some people are totally against the book's plot and think the story is gross and inhumane. I went to the first movie with my cousin and my aunt, who would not stop talking about how the movie made her sick to her stomach and how she couldn't imagine what would provoke someone to write such a story.
I get where people with that view are coming from, but I think people need to remember this is just a book. This is imagination, fiction, a make-believe story.
When I watch The Hun-ger Games I don't get the same vibe as they do. I think the books are incredibly well written and have a great story behind all the "violence."
If The Hunger Games is violent, then the popular crime shows Americans watch every night on TV must be extremely violent.
I went to see Catching Fire at 11 p.m. the night it came out. It was one of the best movies I have ever seen. Not only the story and the script, but the special effects, the set, the actors. I can't name one thing I didn't like about it.
The movie pretty much followed the book except a few minor things, which is impressive considering most movies miss major parts. There was never a dull moment.
I don't have a proper way to describe how great a movie I thought it was, I'm just flat out speechless to this day. I wasn't the only one, either. My whole Twitter feed last weekend was people raving about how great it was. I believe reading the book before the movie is way more rewarding in the end, but even if people choose not to read the books, I still think The Hunger Games and Catching Fire are phenomenal movies.
Everyone needs to look past the violence in the books. The Hunger Games has taught me to not only cherish my life, my belongings and my family, but to be happy we live in the country we do. We may complain about taxes, who is elected in office and other things, but we need to remember we should be happy we live in a country with a working government. That we live in a country where the government is not out to make every citizens life miserable. That we don't have a "reaping," peacekeepers and district lines to keep us in our homeland.
Someday when I have kids, I will let them read the books. There is a story in there. A fictional, make-believe story with a purpose. I believe Suzanne Collins wrote a phenomenal book that should not be ignored because of the violence. There is way more violence on television shows than this book. Let the children read and turn off the television.

How alternative is alternative medicine these days?
With U.S. expenditure approaching $40 billion a year, and at least 40 percent of general practices in the U.K. providing some complementary medicine services, it seems that what was once sidelined and even scorned by doctors is now part of the mainstream.
At the end of January the U.K.'s Royal College of Physicians and the U.S.'s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine met in London to discuss how complementary and alternative medicine can best be integrated into conventional patient care.
About half the population of industrialized countries regularly use complementary medicine. Higher education, higher income and poor health predict its use (people who are better educated choose medicine for which there is little empirical proof). Patients are viewed holistically — as people with minds and spirits as well as with bodies. Lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, relationships and relaxation are taken into account in making a diagnosis.
In a joint paper in the British Medical Journal, Lesley Rees, director of education at the Royal College of Physicians, and Andrew Weil, director and professor of medicine of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, wrote that integrated medicine (it is known as integrative medicine in the U.S.) encompasses more than complementary medicine — its focus is on health and healing rather than disease and treatment.
All very well, but there lingers a "beans and pulses" hippie feel to complementary medicine, and the word "holistic" is still read with suspicion by many professionals. Similarly, most patients turn to alternative healing techniques out of frustration or desperation with conventional medicine. The London meeting was held to consider how best to overturn negative preconceptions among health professionals.
A British government report divided therapies into three groups — the first, containing acupuncture, chiropractics, herbal medicine, homeopathy and osteopathy, is organized and regulated, has a research base and is available on the National Health Service. Acupuncture is now used in most chronic pain treatments.
The second group of therapies include aromatherapy and hypnotherapy, and while they are available on the NHS, they are poorly regulated.
The third group contains therapies for which there is no research evidence at all, and includes crystal therapy and dowsing. It is this group which seems to give alternative medicine a bad name.
"Integrated medicine is good medicine," stressed Rees and Weil. "Its success will be signaled by dropping the adjective. The integrated medicine of today should be the medicine of the new millennium."
David Reilly, consultant physician at Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital in Scotland, said that orthodox and complementary medicine concentrates too much on the tools in their toolboxes — whether drugs or acupuncture needles. "We are the artists hoping to emulate Michaelangelo's David only by studying the chisels that made it," he said.
According to Reilly, the study of human healing should ask questions on multiple levels, and find answers from nonconventional places — placebo effects, hypnotherapy, even parasocial studies, spiritual practices and art. Integrated medicine should balance short-term analytical thinking with longer-term holistic treatment.
In developing countries most of the population use traditional medicine, and their experience can provide lessons for integration in developed countries. A survey of village clinics in China's Zhejiang Province showed that children with respiratory tract infections were prescribed an average of four different drugs, always a mixture of Western and Chinese medicine.
"The challenge of integrated health care," said Gerard Bodeker, chair of the Commonwealth Working Group on Traditional and Complementary Health Systems at Oxford University, "is to generate evidence on which illnesses are best treated through which approach. The Zhejiang study found that simultaneous use of both types of treatment was so commonplace that their individual contributions were difficult to assess."
In Japan, Chinese herbal medicine (kanpo) was introduced around the fifth century but was officially banned about 100 years ago. This means that modern Western medicine is the form practiced in Japan.
Jiro Imanishi and colleagues at the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine surveyed doctors of their Prefectural Medical Association about their attitudes to complementary medicine. Their findings were published in the Lancet medical journal.
Almost all the doctors practicing complementary medicine were kanpo practitioners (96 percent), but only 8 percent practiced any other form of complementary medicine. Imanishi thought that this result was strange given the disparity with American and European doctors, so he asked Japanese doctors whether they regarded kanpo as a form of complementary medicine.
Chinese herbal medicine was not considered as complementary by 25 percent of respondents. "If a medicine works, we don't discriminate between Chinese and Western sources," said Shinji Sato, a doctor at Tokyo Medical College.
Often the drugs used in Western medicines originally came from Chinese herbs or Amazon plant extracts. For example, the diuretic furosemide is used after heart surgery all over the world to treat and prevent congestive heart failure. Yet it was originally isolated from a Chinese herbal preparation. St. John's wort is used to treat depression, and shark cartilage for lung cancer.
In such cases, there is already close integration between orthodox and complementary medicine — so much so that many doctors do not consider it "complementary." The question is whether the same indiscriminate use will, and should, eventually apply to other branches of complementary medicine.

News Details
Purdue receives a NSF Science of Science Policy Economics Visual Analytic Grant
October 8, 2009
VACCINE's Purdue University was awarded an NSF award in the amount of $377,000.00. David Ebert is PI on the grant entitled, "TLS – Applied Visual Analytics for Economic Decision-Making" Community". Brian Fisher from Simon Fraser University, another VACCINE team member, is a consultant on the grant and will provide expertise in cognitive science and evaluation. The overall goal of our interdisciplinary research is to introduce visual analytics as a novel analytical tool in economics and use it to improve decision-making and identify key motivations in knowledge creation in various economic problems. Our suite of tools will allow users to interactively explore datasets and decision spaces as well as compare alternative hypotheses and develop new hypotheses with certainty measures. We will record user keystrokes and information pertinent to understanding decision-making and knowledge generation paths. In addition, eye tracking devices will be used to discover key parts of the visual analytics tool on which the individual focuses. We can connect this information to the decision of the individual to increase the robustness of our results. This knowledge will allow us to make robust predictions about the decision-making process on a broader scale. We will thus be able to provide theoretical models to explain learning and decision-making under bounded rationality.
The $377,000 award is funded through NSF's Science of Science Policy, Graphics & Visualization program.

"I do have a sense this year is an opportunity for us."'
Double trouble [5:04 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"That's what you want to hear," Henry said. "It shows they are really committed to running the ball. It may start off looking ugly but it will eventually loosen up and those 3-yard runs become 5- and 6- yards later in the game. It's the mindset I'm taking. It's nice to know that commitment is there this year."'
Q&A: Chris Villarrial [5:03 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'If you were head coach of the Bills for a day, what kind of day would it be? "It would be short. No, there'd be meetings in the morning, a nice light practice in the afternoon, then sum it up with meetings and lifting. Get the guys out of here and keep them fresh."'
Donahoe's moves must reap results [5:03 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'You inherited an aging team and a big salary cap mess, and you've done a good job cleaning it up. You appear to have strengthened the defense and offense. But you erred with Gregg Williams, your first choice for coach, and there won't be any more mulligans as far as the fans and "experts'' are concerned. With Eric Moulds and Pat Williams the only holdovers from the John Butler era, you've almost completely purged the roster, and after a 17-31 won-lost mark that included last year's back-pedaling, it's time for your game plan to take hold.'

Scuffle off to Buffalo [5:00 AM]

What to Look for vs. Jaguars [4:37 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"Last year they shut me down pretty good," Henry said. "This year, I'm just going to keep pounding the ball. Even if they stop me early on, we're not going to back down. We're going to show them that we're not scared and that we're going to be able to run the football."'
Leftwich turns Jags right way [8:55 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"I think they're what everybody is pumping them up to be," said Bills linebacker Takeo Spikes, who will get an up-close look at the Jaguars on Sunday in Ralph Wilson Stadium. "They're an up-and-coming team, as of right now anyway. We don't want them to be up-and-coming against us on Sunday. But they are a good, young team on the way up."'
Van Pelt offers fresh perspective [8:54 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"I'm so fresh from the team I get caught a lot of times saying "we ought to' as opposed to the Bills," Van Pelt said. "They are still my friends, so for a few years it is going to be tough to get over the we's."'
Bills season on the line [5:08 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"It's not the sole nucleus of what's going to make this thing run, but they are a large part of any team," Mularkey said. "But I'm not going to put all the pressure on them. We have other positions that need to play at a high level. Receivers, tight ends and fullbacks doing their part will help the offensive line."'

Drag Boat Mac
Every sailing vessel needs a smaller boat to take crew ashore, retrieve an anchor, visit another vessel, or even give an occasional tow when the wind dies. So in June 2001, the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum built a tender for the replica sailing canal boat Lois McClure.
Because of her large beam and excellent initial stability, she is a great boat to use with students. As many as four students, and as few as one, can row at once. When under sail there is plenty to do to keep her young crew busy. Students from several of LCMM's Burlington programs will be using Mac during the warm months.
Brief History of Connecticut River Drag Boats
The design selected was that of a Connecticut River Drag Boat, a 17-foot rowing boat of a type that was popular in the Northeast in the mid to late nineteenth century. Drag boats were originally used for shad fishing but were adapted to many uses. They typically have a bluff bow, full sections, broad beam, and a flat plank keel.
Building the Replica
Building Mac was the first construction project at the Burlington Shipyard, where Lois McClure was to begin construction the following year. Boatbuilder Rob Thompson headed up the project, inviting volunteers and apprentices to assist with the construction.

Cricket has been rocked by the shocking injury to Phillip Hughes, but at lower levels around the country, the game goes on. And so it was business as usual on Wednesday night for the East Malvern-Tooronga Cricket Club under-13s.
An army of youngsters went about their fielding drills and their turns batting and bowling both in the nets and at centre wicket, concerned by what had happened to one of their heroes, but also realistic about the chances of it happening to them.
Tom Ison, 11, said he felt no more anxious about going out to bat as a result. "It was a freak accident," he said. "It does make you think: 'I hope that doesn't happen to me', but I don't think I'm going to get injured when I walk out to bat.
"These days, they have very good technology to make sure people don't get injured like that, but it can still happen, and it's just an unfortunate part of the game."
Tom's mother, Pia Borghesi, said the Hughes incident wouldn't make her any more fearful for the welfare of Tom or her other son, Sam. A bigger concern for her was the nature of the media coverage of Hughes being hit while batting for South Australia against New South Wales at the SCG on Tuesday.
"I didn't want the boys to be watching it over and over without context, and I did say to them last night not to go online until we knew more of what was happening," she said.
"That's a bigger issue for me than the actual incident, because it's a freak ball. They wear all the protective stuff and, with kids this age, you don't have the sort of impact at that speed. But I do worry that whatever comes out of this, they'll replay the footage over and over until, hopefully, he recovers.
"I do feel like it justifies me yelling at them all the time about wearing protective stuff. I'll yell at anyone's kids if they don't have full protection. I guess this does help you confirm that point."
East Malvern-Tooronga junior co-ordinator Stephen Smith, who presides over about 150 juniors playing at under-11, under-13 and under-15 levels, says the sport does everything it can to make sure its youngest participants are safe.
"You can't bowl bouncers or full-tosses above waist-height, so the likelihood of getting hit in the head when you're batting is minimal," he said. "It's probably more when kids are fielding relatively close to the bat or practising in the nets and not concentrating, and we're really mindful about reminding them to be focused at all times.
Smith said he didn't foresee any sizeable backlash from parents reluctant to let their children play cricket in light of the Hughes incident.
"You can see these boys batting here all have loads of protection. We have regions marked where you can't field too close to the bat, the wicketkeepers keep with helmets on, all that sort of stuff.
"I do feel like it justifies me yelling at them all the time about wearing protective stuff.Parent Pia Borghesi
"If it was a common occurrence, then we'd have an issue, but clearly this isn't something that happens a lot."
