Ragland's plan calls for decreasing employees' benefits, but also giving them a pay raise, and for retaining the current tax rate, which county officials had indicated would be lowered this year after it was raised last year. He said his plan would provide a net savings of at least $545,712 to be applied to the shortfall during the first year of benefit reductions.
HIs proposal comes in the wake of the county recently slicing nearly $1 million from its budget in the middle of its fiscal year after learning that County Auditor Janice Tucker was projecting a $995,000 negative bank balance by the fiscal year's end on Sept. 30.
County officials differ on who was responsible for the shortfall, as County Judge Dean Fowler and Ms. Tucker have basically blamed each other, while some commissioners have criticized Ms. Tucker and County Treasurer Myra Harris, who have defended themselves.
County Pct. 2 Comm. Cole Hefner and Pct. 3 Comm. Frank Berka told The Mirror this week they had given Ragland some data which is public information, and Ragland told the Libertarians on Tuesday he had e-mailed his proposal to Berka that day. Hefner, who said he knew Ragland from their work together in the Gilmer Rotary Club, said the veteran banker contacted him when news of the shortfall became public.
Hefner said Wednesday he could not comment on Ragland's plan until he sees it. Berka said he had seen the plan, but needed more time to analyze it, and that he expected at least part of it to be presented to the court at some point.
Ragland told the Libertarians he would not personally present the proposal to the court at a meeting.
Ragland, who is risk management officer for Texas National Bank in Longview and a former Gilmer banker, told the group he had proposed reducing employee benefits because the court has "cut everywhere else."
He proposed that county employees begin paying a substantially higher portion of the cost of their health insurance through the county, and that the county lower its contribution to employees' retirement plan, but that the court give "good" 4 percent across-the-board raises, plus an additional $150,000 for merit raises to selected individuals. (County employees have had no raise in about seven years.)
The county is paying $1,871,000 per fiscal year to cover workers and their families on health insurance, said Ragland. He said about 171 of the county's average 176 employees have their families enrolled in that plan, and that an employee pays $168 monthly for coverage, while the county pays the other $912 of his/her $1,080 premium.
He proposed that next year, employees pay half, or $540, of their monthly cost, thus reducing the county's share of insurance expenses to $935,712. He additionally recommended that the following fiscal year, the employees begin paying 75 percent of the cost, which he said could increase the county's savings to $1.4 million.
The longtime banker said he also proposed county officials save $385,200 when they "dig into their (employee) retirement plan. I have never seen a retirement plan like this one."
He said that as a credit analyst, what "jumped off the page" at him from the 286-page county budget was a $2.2 million liability shortfall if every county worker who is vested or partly vested were to retire. (In a printed summary of his plan given The Mirror, Ragland said this "unfunded retirement liability" was "not shown as a liability in financial statements.")
Currently, Ragland told the Libertarians, county workers put seven percent of their paychecks toward retirement, and the county matches that 2-1, or 14 percent of a salary. The worker's and county's combined contribution of 21 percent of a salary is just under the maximum allowed by federal law, he said.
Ragland proposed lowering the seven percent to the state minimum of four, and the county's match from 2-1 to 1-1. He asserted that would lower the county's annual retirement-related cost from the current $696,000 to $310,800.
The "worst case" savings from his proposals, he told the Libertarians, would be $935,712 annually. When the cost of the four percent pay raises and the $150,000 in merit raises is deducted from that, he said, the net savings would still total the aforementioned $545,712.
"They (commissioners) could spend it on road and bridge" work, Ragland said. He also said his proposals would save sufficient money to fund some programs that have been cut, and to cure the shortfall.
Ragland also said that to balance a budget, "you got to increase revenues and decrease expenses." Trying only one of the two "historically" hasn't worked, he argued.
Thus, he said the tax hike which the court approved last year would take care of the needed revenues, and that if the court embranced some of his proposals, he would not vote to reduce the tax rate back to the prior year's level as county officials originally planned.
Upshur County Libertarian Chairman Vance Lowry, Ragland's neighbor who introduced the speaker, asked him if the shortfall was an "accounting error," or if something "nefarious" might be found "down the line." Ragland replied he didn't know, and had said earlier he didn't know who caused the problem.
He strongly praised the current Commissioners Court, saying it was "almost willing to commit political suicide for the good of the county." He noted that the only person now on the 5-member court who was there when the "shortfall really started" was County Judge Dean Fowler, and "This court, I admire them for their ability to see what needs to be done."
Two of the court's five current members, Berka and Pct. 4 Comm. Paula Gentry, took office only in January, after the court set the tax rate for the current fiscal year.

A new study has found something that may upset those who do a lot of their catching up with loved ones over the internet: a mom's voice is less reassuring when it comes over IM.
Previous research had shown that young girls who'd just taken a stressful test were calmed by a phone conversation with their moms, just as much as they were by a hug. According to Wired, the same team has now looked at the effects of instant messaging. The researchers separated gave 64 7-12-year-old girls a stress-inducing math test, then divided them into four groups: one didn't talk to their moms at all, one IMed with them, one talked on the phone, and one met face-to-face. Those who talked on the phone or saw their moms in person experienced a drop in cortisol and a rise in oxytocin, hormonal changes that indicate a decrease in stress. But those who just IMed with their moms didn't experience such a change.
Study coauthor Leslie Seltzer says these findings indicate that it's a mom's voice, and not what she actually says, that calms her daughter down. She explains, "It doesn't matter how many smiley faces you put in your IM. It's not going to have the same effect as talking in person." This sounds like a pretty good reason to call your mom regularly — and yes, actually call her. The only downside: you can't submit your conversation to Postcards from Yo Momma.

Scotland's enchanting capital Edinburgh is a city of striking contrasts. Perched dramatically on an extinct volcano, the world-famous Edinburgh Castle is visible from almost any point in the city, a constant reminder of Edinburgh's long and fascinating history. As you explore the city's striking architecture, tranquil green spaces and exciting attractions, you will soon understand why so many authors and poets have been inspired to create iconic characters like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Sherlock Holmes and more recently Harry Potter.

Set on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, Edinburgh has been the capital of Scotland since 1492.
Edinburgh breathes still the spirit of its past and forever holds marks of its history, its streets running through town like scars of distant memories. The most significant maybe is the Royal Mile, which goes right through the Old Town and ends at The Palace of Holyroodhouse, once the home of Mary Queen of Scots and now the British Royal Family's official Scottish residence.
On both sides of this famous street, lays a unique combination of the cobbled streets and narrow lanes of the Old Town and the elegant Georgian grandeur of the neoclassic New Town - built when the Old Town became too putrid to be inhabited. This blend makes Edinburgh so peculiar and even described as one of the most beautiful cityscapes in the world. The Old and New Towns in Edinburgh become a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
Edinburgh, laid over its six hills, is a historical and cultural bubble marked by Medieval and Georgian influences, from the small crooked streets of the Old Town to the gardens and neoclassical buildings of the New Town. Watching over the city, Edinburgh Castle is where past rulers took up their quarters and where you can find both the Country Crown's jewels and the Stone of Destiny, used for coronations.

Millions Vulnerable After Yahoo Hack Exposes Private Details
Yahoo Inc says information for at least 500 million user accounts was stolen from its network in 2014 by what it believed was a state-sponsored actor, a theft that appeared to the biggest cyber breach ever.
Yahoo said on Thursday data stolen may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth and encrypted passwords but that unprotected passwords, payment card data and bank account information did not appear to have been compromised, the company said.
"This is the biggest data breach ever," said well-known cryptologist Bruce Schneier.

He said it was too early to say what impact the breach might have on Yahoo and its users because many questions remain, including the identity of the state-sponsored hackers behind it.
Three US intelligence officials, who declined to be identified by name, said they believed the attack was state-sponsored because of its resemblance to previous hacks traced to Russian intelligence agencies or hackers acting at their direction.
Yahoo said it was working with law enforcement on the matter. The FBI said it was aware of the matter, and the US Secret Service was not immediately available for comment.
"The investigation has found no evidence that the state-sponsored actor is currently in Yahoo's network," the company said.
Shares of Yahoo stock were barely changed for the day after the news, while shares of Verizon Communications, which has agreed to buy the company's Internet business, were up about 1 per cent.
It was not clear how this disclosure might affect Yahoo's deal with Verizon.
Verizon, which announced in July an agreement to buy Yahoo's core internet properties for $US4.83 billion ($A6.32 billion), said in a statement it was made aware of the breach within the last two days and had limited information about the matter.
"We will evaluate as the investigation continues through the lens of overall Verizon interests, including consumers, customers, shareholders and related communities," the company said.
What to do if you have a Yahoo Account...
According to Time, there are three steps to take to ensure the security of your own Yahoo account.
#1: Change your passwords
They recommend never using the same password across multiple accounts. If you use the same password for other accounts, change them as well.
#2: Use Yahoo's two-factor authentication
Once you've turned on the authentication process, you'll will be required to enter both your password and an extra security code sent to your mobile.
#3: Look at using Yahoo's Account Key feature
It will replace your traditional written password with a smartphone app.

Media release
2 December 2012
Foreign Minister Bob Carr today announced $370,000 for four Family and Sexual Violence (FSV) units in Papua New Guinea, offering support for women escaping domestic violence or looking to make complaints of sexual assault.
Speaking on the eve of a four-day visit to Papua New Guinea, Senator Carr said the units would be based at PNG police stations and staffed by local officers with specialised training in dealing with complaints of domestic or sexual violence.
"Research shows two in three PNG women have suffered from domestic violence and up to half are at risk of sexual assault," Senator Carr said.
"These Family and Sexual Violence units — co-located with police stations — give PNG women a safe environment to escape attack and report offences.
"Officers working in the units would also help women seeking support services such as transport to courts, medical assistance, help with interim protection orders and safe housing.
"I congratulate the PNG Government and particularly Prime Minister Peter O'Neill for his commitment to delivering anti-violence campaigns and for continuing the rollout of these units at police stations across PNG."
Senator Carr said the new FSV units would be located at police stations in Alotau, Buka, Vanimo and Kundiawa and would open in January 2013.
The new units are in addition to existing Ausaid-funded FSV facilities in Port Moresby, Goroka, Mount Hagen, Lae, Popondetta and Kokopo which respond to around 4,400 domestic and sexual violence complaints a year.
Funding would also go towards:
- Additional training for PNG police officers in supporting victims of domestic and sexual violence;
- Funding for the Office of the Public Prosecutor to strengthen prosecution of sexual violence cases; and
- Establishing regional Liaison Officers to support domestic violence victims through the legal process.
Senator Carr said further action on domestic and sexual violence would be on the agenda for the 21st Australia-PNG Ministerial Forum in Port Moresby on Thursday December 6, 2012.
The Forum would be attended by Ministers Carr, Emerson, Bowen and Clare and their PNG counterparts. Discussions would also include progress on negotiations for an Economic Cooperation Treaty, establishment of a PNG Sovereign Wealth Fund, and cooperation on police, defence, immigration and economic development
While in PNG, Senator Carr would also meet with Australian aid workers in transport, health and education and attend commemoration ceremonies for Australian WWII personnel buried in the Bomana War Cemetery outside Port Moresby.

Hey guys,
I just got my hands on Daniel Madison's Blood Deck and I was just wondering what type of effects can you do with it? I know that you can do stuff like find a card or split the deck into black and red cards. But what other possibilities do I have with this type of deck?

Perfection has been the word most commonly used to describe these two seniors and their tennis coach over the past four years, at least when it comes to the regular season.
Seniors Max Schuermann (No. 1 singles), Lucas Minas (No. 2 singles) and their coach Jon Kirby, of the Dover-Sherborn boys tennis team, were the latest to join Daily News senior multimedia journalist Tommy Cassell on Cassell's Corner podcast.
The Raiders finished the regular season with a 15-0 record, and over Schuermann and Minas' four years at D-S, the two standout players led their team to a 63-0 record in the regular season.
D-S lost in the Division 3 state championship in 2016, the sophomore season for both Schuermann and Minas, and fell in the Div. 3 state semifinals in 2015 and 2017. Needless to say, the Raiders have some unfinished business that is motivating them and they opened up with Cassell about that.
The three D-S tennis team members and Cassell also discussed golf, swimming, DJing and many other things.

The Armchair Genealogist on Advice for Beginners
Next September 1 will be my fifth anniversary in genealogy. Yes, I know the exact date. I googled the name "Brinlee" to illustrate to a coworker that everyone with that spelling of the last name was related to me. And to my surprise, the hits included some indications that some of those Brinlee family myths that I thought were bunk might actually be true (almost all of them were, an exception to the rule about family myths).
That first year was when I got my feet wet in genealogical research, and I learned a lot. I think most of what I learned and did was a positive experience (my cousins Eunice and Jo Ann were excellent role models), though there were some missteps. So, as a response to Lynn's question and excellent advice, I would offer a few additional comments and suggestions.
Once you know that your interest in genealogy is passionate and not passing, do invest in a good genealogy program (one that is reported to work well on your computer and fits with your way of organizing things and your approach to research) as well as in some guides on evidence and sources (such as Elizabeth Shown Mills' Evidence Explained). This actually repeats one of Lynn's points, but this was the main thing I would have changed in my first year. Six months into my genealogy adventure, my husband bought me the Reunion program, and I should have started using it then instead of waiting another six months. And instead of wildly scribbled notes, I would have developed a better system for organizing my data (almost) from the get-go.
If you can, do wait about a year to subscribe to commercial online database services such as Ancestry. Yeah, I know this contradicts those alluring shaky leaf commercials, but your knowledge of resources – both online and in hard copy at repositories – will be much greater. I waited a year to subscribe to Ancestry, and discovered the wonderful world of Cyndi's List, Rootsweb, Genweb, the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System, Family Search (with its research guides), library resources, writing off to state archives and county courthouses for copies of documents, and several excellent name-based websites.
Do be skeptical about the information you find – not just the sloppy stuff in many online family trees, but also information from books. However, don't carry that skepticism so far that you dismiss something without first having solid evidence to disprove it. As noted above, my skepticism about many Brinlee family stories turned out to be wrong. On the other hand, some of the stuff that I first found online was absolutely false, and it is strange to go back to my early notes and realize that I actually believed some of this once upon a time. Also be ready to completely reverse your previous thinking. I've had to do this so many times, if I had a dollar for every flip-flop I could use the money to take a world cruise.
Do learn to be stubborn in your research. You will need to learn many different techniques and tricks, where to look for information, and how to use the different and sometimes contradictory clues you find. But "smart" or "efficient" research is not enough. You have to just keep at it and never give up. That attitude has generated more happy dances for me than so-called "brilliant ideas."
Do start sending off letters and e-mail to as many known relatives as you can, as well as to every researcher for your family lines that you encounter online or elsewhere. Do it now, do it often, and don't be timid. In my "previous life" I never would have had the courage to write an e-mail to someone I had never met before. I do it all the time now. Call up relatives, and not just to ask them those interview questions. Chat them up. Find out what they're doing now, how all their family members are, and every now and again, steer the conversation into the past. In the context of "the usual family chit-chat and gossip" you can find out a lot of valuable family history. I learned so much from my cousins and from my Uncle Bill, and much of what Uncle Bill told me might have died with him had I not been in telephone contact with him over the past couple of years.
Advertise/Publish/Post what you do know about your ancestors, what you learn about them, and what questions you have about them. Start early with this and keep doing it. Make it a regular part of your research routine for each family line. Post on message boards, write articles for county heritage books or local genealogical society newsletters, and if you can, start blogging or create websites. You may not want to put every last tidbit out there; some people just scoop up what you publish and never acknowledge your work or share information, but many will, and if only a fraction of those who do have information, pictures, etc. to share, it is all worth it.
A final piece of advice to the beginning family historian would be: Treat genealogy as a quest for information, not as a collectors' hobby. You are a detective-researcher, not someone who collects ancestors, only to get bored with them and let them collect dust on a shelf. If you dig for that information to learn who your ancestors really were, there will always mysteries that won't let you abandon the quest. You will learn so much about history, culture, sociology, demographics, and many other subjects that might never have been the of the least interest to you in school. It's like getting another degree, only more fun and you have control of the curriculum.
I still think of myself as an advanced beginner to beginning intermediate family history researcher and still have tons to learn. Lynn is right, you have to take a break from time to time. But I always come back.

Thanks Greta, I particularly agree with sending off letters and emails. I have probably gained as much information through finding 'cousins' and learning their family history knowledge as I have from any subscription database. Some of your greatest discoveries will come in the most unlikely places.ReplyDelete
Nice article Greta. I always like to read what others would do. I had been thinking of doing a similar piece, but it will wait. Always enjoy your posts. I see you are going to FGS, they are great. Have a wonderful time.ReplyDelete
Good advice, wish I had known this two years ago, when I did not know which way to go.ReplyDelete

Great list! I especially liked the hint about waiting a year before subscribing to online databases such as Ancestry. I'm always glad that I started my genealogical research before the age of the internet, because if I had relied on Ancestry I would have made A LOT of wrong turns. By writing family members, going to town clerks, and to the archives in Boston I was off to a much better start. I'm glad I still have those good habits.ReplyDelete

Miller Oh, who served as the City Council's mayor pro tem this year and faces perjury charges in a case unrelated to his duties on the panel, was appointed mayor by the council this week.
After some back-and-forth among the council about what to do in light of Oh's charges, the council voted 3-1 to appoint him. Outgoing Mayor Beth Swift dissented, and Councilman Fred Smith abstained.
In July 2012, Oh was charged with five felony counts of perjury. He is accused of using fraudulent information on Department of Motor Vehicles forms from 2004 to 2009 in an effort to avoid child-support payments.
He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges. A trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 14.
In Buena Park, the mayor's duties include presiding over council meetings, making committee assignments and representing the city at official functions. The mayor pro tem is responsible for filling in when the mayor is unavailable.
Before the meeting, City Clerk Shalice Tilton said the city received 12 calls, one letter and an email from the public concerned about Oh's potential appointment. Some were asking for clarification on the process, while others were opposed. No members of the public spoke at the meeting about Oh's appointment.
There is no city law that says a mayor pro tem has to be appointed mayor the following year. But that typically is the order of succession. Tilton said there have been only three times in the past 20 years where the mayor pro tem was not chosen to be the mayor the following year.
A couple of council members said they were reluctant to break with tradition, but were also worried that Oh's trial could be a distraction.
"I'd like the normal rotation method to be used, because I think it's important for people to have a chance to learn and grow in leadership positions," Swift said. "However, the next person in line has a distraction I think would hinder his ability."
Instead, Swift nominated Councilman Steve Berry. Berry's appointment failed, 2-2. Oh and Councilman Art Brown dissented, and Smith abstained.
Berry suggested waiting until 2014's first meeting, Jan. 14, to vote on the mayor and schedule a study session before the meeting to further discuss the issue.
"It seems to me there's a bit of a cloud over this issue," Berry said.
The council also voted down that idea in a 2-2 vote. Oh and Brown dissented, and Smith abstained.
Ultimately, Oh was chosen as mayor. Berry was chosen as mayor pro tem.
"I stand before you humbled by the honor you have bestowed on me and grateful in your confidence for allowing me the opportunity and privilege to lead our city," Oh said in a prepared speech at the end of the meeting. "I care deeply, as you do, about our community. I care, as you do, that we are taking the necessary steps to position our city for the long term and not being short-sighted in our thinking."

Radiation Seed Side Effects
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Approximately 2 months ago, my male relative of 66 years of age got radiation seeds implanted in his prostate after a diagnosis of early stage prostate cancer. Since then, he has experienced terrible side effects: 1) cannot urinate without a catheter (he now catheterizes himself daily); 2) painful bowel movements; 3) if he urinates without the catheter, a tiny bit comes out and it stings like crazy; 4) can't sleep at night; 5) up and down to bathroom constantly; 6) getting depressed. The doctor then told him to ice his penis area, take hot baths, and drink cranberry juice. I do not believe he is getting timely advice or being informed of various ways he might find relief.
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
This is unfortunately a problem I see about once per year, and I tend to approach the problem as a different set of prostate-related issues.
There are 2 possible causes for the urinary obstruction.
The first is infection, especially if he has a history of prostatitis previously. Antibiotics do not penetrate into the prostate very well, so he will need at least 3 weeks of antibiotic treatment, and I generally do this even if I don't think there is an infection. The pain with bowel movements is typical of prostatitis, and other things to look for include perineal pain (feels like you are sitting on a billiard ball) and testicular pain or swelling. Some men may require up to 6 weeks of antibiotics, but this is infrequent. I use Ciprofloxacin, 500 mg orally twice a day, as my preferred antibiotic. Since it has been two months since the seeds were implanted, it is also possible that there is a prostate abscess, which is a walled-off pocket of infection. An ultrasound may be needed to rule out an abscess. By the way, with an infection or abscess, the PSA may remain high.
The other possibility is that the prostate was too big or has swollen because of a hematoma in the prostate. This is less likely, as it should not cause the rectal pain you are describing.
Either way, this is a situation that has dragged on too long, and I would suggest that you seek a second opinion if the symptoms last beyond another 4 weeks on appropriate therapy.

Business owners to speak at forum Wednesday
Tuesday, April 16, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
Overcoming the challenges of owning a business is the topic of forum on Wednesday featuring three former Pittsburg State University students who are now business owners.
The Kelce College of Business Jungle Journeys program will present a panel discussion on entrepreneurship at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, in Kelce Hall Room 121. Featured speakers will include Heather Horton, owner of Sweet Designs Cakery; Aaron McConnell, owner of MAC Fitness; and Patrick Stoddart, owner of Revdel LLC. All are former PSU students.
The discussion will be moderated by Tony Dellasega, President of Community National Bank in Frontenac. Dellasega also serves on two statewide economic development advisory boards, the Kansas Small Business Development Center program and the Kansas Center for Entrepreneurship.
Ksenyia Caldwell, Jungle Journeys coordinator, said the purpose of the panel is to give current students an opportunity to learn about business ownership from those who are living the experience.
"We wanted to have former PSU students who own businesses a chance to come in and share their stories with us," Caldwell said. "We want to hear about their difficulties and challenges and how they overcame them. It's always good to hear from those who have experienced what many of us hope to accomplish someday."
The panel is open to all PSU students.

This weekend foodies, hipsters, and music lovers descended on The Nethermeads section of Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York for the Great GoogaMooga, a new outdoor food and music festival from Superfly that was touted as an "Amusement Park of Food and Drink."
The weather was beautiful and people came in droves. Unlike traditional music festivals, where the bands come first and the grub comes second, GoogaMooga placed food at the fore. Perhaps the crowd was bigger than anticipated (40,000 tickets to the event were sold, in total), because the one big problem with the day was the long lines.
But while the waits were the number one complaint we heard, when actually asked, most festival-goers said they had a great time overall.
While the event wasn't perfect, we can only imagine that next year's GoogaMooga will be even better than this year's.

Tigers break out the bats in support of Verlander
DETROIT -- The much-anticipated pitching duel between Justin Verlander and Chris Sale didn't happen Tuesday. The much-expected breakout of Miguel Cabrera did. So did the breakout of Alex Avila.
"That's nice," Cabrera said. "That's what we want to do."View Full Game Coverage
DETROIT -- The much-anticipated pitching duel between Justin Verlander and Chris Sale didn't happen Tuesday. The much-expected breakout of Miguel Cabrera did. So did the breakout of Alex Avila.
"That's nice," Cabrera said. "That's what we want to do."View Full Game Coverage
By the time the Tigers were done with the White Sox pitching staff, they had three-hit games from Avila and Cabrera, the latter with three RBIs, and at least one hit from everyone else in the starting lineup. With a five-run third inning, meanwhile, Verlander had more than enough run support for his third consecutive win, cruising for seven innings before the Tigers bullpen survived an Adam Dunn home run for an 8-6 win at Comerica Park.
Bullpen struggles aside, for the first time in a while, it was an example of how this team is supposed to look. It continued the early trend for this Tigers offense: When they don't struggle to score, they tend to score big. The same lineup that has produced two runs or fewer in eight games churned out its seventh game with six runs or more.
"We've had flashes a couple of games in the first couple weeks," Avila said. "We've been playing OK baseball. For the most part these couple weeks, we've been doing a decent job. I don't think we're tapping into our complete potential yet or know just how good we are yet, but on a night like tonight where up and down through the order we put up tough at-bats, it's nice to see.
"Including myself, we've had a few guys struggle recently, but now we're kind of starting to pick it up a little bit."
They picked it up enough that the Tigers hit that six-run mark by the end of the third, all of it off fill-in starter Charlie Leesman. He was summoned from Triple-A Charlotte when Sale, Tuesday's originally scheduled starter, went on the disabled list with a left forearm flexor strain. Leesman was pulled with two outs in the third, having given up nine hits and a walk through 17 hitters.
None might have been as important as the four hits between Cabrera and Avila, two hitters who had been struggling through much of April. While slow starts aren't foreign to Avila, having gone through a deep one last season, they were a surprise for Cabrera coming off three straight batting titles.
Both showed better swings Monday with little to show for it, save for an Avila ninth-inning double to the depths of right-center. They got their rewards Tuesday.
"I thought Alex took some good swings yesterday. I thought Miggy took some great swings yesterday," Verlander said. "I know Miggy was still a little upset yesterday because he didn't have anything to show for it, as we all are. You like to see results. That was just a precursor to today, and hopefully that gets him jump-started. Same with Alex."
Though winds blowing out to left-center carried more than a few drives, including Jose Abreu's first-inning homer to straightaway center, Cabrera's two big hits actually went to right field, where the wind was no help. The way Cabrera was swinging, it was no match, either.
"That's the approach I want to be able to take," Cabrera said.
After hitting two fly balls that died near the warning track Monday night, Cabrera's first hit Tuesday was his classic opposite-field gapper on a line, deep enough to easily earn him an RBI double and score Ian Kinsler from second. It was his first RBI hit since last Wednesday against the Indians.
Cabrera came back up two innings later with Leesman reeling, having endured a 10-pitch battle with Kinsler that ended with a two-run double just inside third base. Leesman tried starting him off with a fastball down and in, but Cabrera powered it to right. The ball hung up in the wind, but had just enough to clear the fence for a two-run home run, just the second homer for the two-time 44-homer slugger, and the third multi-hit game of the season for him.
"A lot of us have said we weren't worried about Miggy," manager Brad Ausmus said. "He looked good again tonight."
By contrast, Ausmus had said repeatedly with urgency that they needed to get Avila going offensively. Ausmus admitted that he nearly sat Avila on Tuesday against the lefty to get right-handed Bryan Holaday a start. The swings he saw from Avila on Monday night convinced him not to do it.
"I thought about not playing him today, but I've said all along we need to get Alex going," Ausmus said. "So if he's swinging the bat well, let's try to get him on a roll if we can. That was the reasoning for putting him back in."
Avila had only one two-hit game previously this season, but enjoyed three-hit and four-hit outbursts during his late tear last September. After escaping an 0-2 hole with a single up the middle with two outs in the second, he chased Leesman in the third with a line drive to left following Nick Castellanos' sacrifice fly.
Avila added an RBI double in the fifth, when he pulled a liner through the infield shift that had confounded him Monday night.
"I think when you're able to put quality at-bats consecutively, you gain a little confidence and then you're able to just repeat it," Avila said. "Like I said yesterday, for the most part, I've been feeling pretty good. I've had some bad at-bats, but for the most part, I've been feeling good. Just a matter of making some solid contact."
That made the job of Verlander (3-1) a little easier. He gave up two runs on eight hits over his seven innings, walking two and striking out seven, before leaving with an 8-2 lead.
By the time left fielder J.D. Martinez found the track of Alexei Ramirez's line drive through the lights for the final out, the tying run was at the plate. Phil Coke struck out the first two batters of the ninth before Marcus Semien's double and Paul Konerko's RBI single brought up Dunn. He fell into an 0-2 hole before Coke threw a slider that dove back over the plate.
"It was like I threw an incidental two-seamer," Coke said. "It was an incident, because he hit that a long way."
By the time closer Joe Nathan was warming up, Ramirez was up after Joba Chamberlain's four-pitch walk to Dayan Viciedo. Chamberlain regrouped for his first save as a Tiger.

Cardholders around the world received a shock late last week when Global Payments Inc. announced a breach in its card data processing system. [1] After all, the company is one of the biggest processors of Visa and MasterCard card transactions, and also processes a sizable number of transactions for Discover Financial and American Express.
But don't worry too much if you are a debit or credit card user. The breach has only exposed a small fraction of the total cards in use. Even if you are among the unlucky few, remember that you wouldn't be liable for any unauthorized transactions on your card. Of course, how the card companies handle this incident has raised concerns about the safety of card payment systems.
See our complete analysis for Visa | MasterCard | American Express | Discover
Global Payments: Your Money Is Safe
And so is your private information, if Global Payments is to be believed. Global Payments works as one of the intermediaries in card transaction, and is what actually authorizes a charge. It then merely passes on transaction details to card networks like Visa and MasterCard.
In a followup announcement, the card processor disclosed that the breach allowed hackers to gain less than 1.5 million card numbers. [1] While an alarming number, this is but a fraction of the nearly one billion cards in use in North America – the region affected by the incident.
That said, Global Payments maintains that while the information stolen can be used to create counterfeit cards, sensitive personal information including the name, address and SSN have not been compromised. And with the card providers already in the loop about cards affected, chances are you won't need to do anything regarding this incident.
But Who Guarantees That In the Future?
Visa became the first company to act against Global Payments when the company removed the latter from its list of approved service providers. This just means that Global Payments will end up paying Visa more for processing transactions. We believe that this will not affect Visa's fee income much, as the increase in per transaction fees from Global Payments will be offset by the lower transactions processed by the company following the incident.
But the more serious concern is whether or not this can be put aside as a one-off incident. The growing dependence on plastic really puts a lot at stake, and this incident brings to light the fact that sensitive information can be breached at any point in the long chain of companies that handle this information.
It looks like all companies involved need to get their act together to ensure that sensitive information remains hidden from prying eyes.

Bringing up children involves lots of joint decisions. If you are separated, it's harder to make these decisions and plans as you go along.
'Splitting Up? Put Kids First' helps you to create a FREE Parenting Plan online and learn the skills you need to make it work for you both.What's in the Parenting Plan? Get Started
What is a Parenting Plan?
Bringing up children involves lots of joint decisions. If you don't live together, it is harder to make these decisions as you go along. A Parenting Plan is a written or online agreement between parents. It helps you record how you will share the care of your child now and in the future. It can easily be changed and is not a legally binding agreement.
Agreeing on an approach
Making a Parenting Plan is easier if you both agree on why it is a good idea and what you both want for your child. The first part of the Parenting Plan explains your approach to parenting and your general aims.
Using the Parenting Plan
Your plan can be as simple or as detailed as you like. The simpler it is, the easier it is to stick to. It might include day-to-day arrangements, financial arrangements and decisions about the future. It's a good place to store information like medical records and contact details. You probably won't look at it every day, but it is good to have it available to refer to.
Our arrangements
This is the main part of the plan. It is usually divided up into sections such as childcare, communication, education, social activities and finance. You can add as many sections as you like and make it personal to your situation.

Subscribe To The Avengers, Skyfall, Life Of Pi & Cabin In The Woods Named Big Winners At The Saturn Awards Updates
I've already subscribed
In retrospect, last year was an absolutely amazing year for genre films. Both The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises exploded at the box office; The Hunger Games birthed a new beloved big screen sci-fi franchise, Skyfall ended up being one of the best James Bond movies in the history of the series, and films like The Cabin in the Woods and Cloud Atlas awed us with inventiveness, ambitiousness, creativity and beauty. Unfortunately, major award groups have a big issue with awarding genre films any recognition and, as a result, the sci-fi, action, horror and fantasy movies of 2012 were all but completely ignored when it came time to start handing out gold statues. But that's why the Saturn Awards exist.
While it's somewhat strange to have an award show six months after the end of the year that it's celebrating, the folks over at the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films have announced their winners for their favorite movies of the year. In addition to being the box office king of 2012, Joss Whedon's The Avengers was the big winner of the voting, taking home four prizes in total: Best Supporting Actor (Clark Gregg), Best Direction (Joss Whedon) and Best Special Effects (Janek Sirrs, Jeff White, Guy Williams, Dan Sudick). In the top categories it was declared that Ang Lee's Life of Pi was Best Fantasy Film, Drew Goddard's The Cabin in the Woods was the Best Horror/Thriller Film, and Sam Mendes' Skyfall was the Best Action/Adventure Film.
You can see a full list of the movie, television, and home entertainment awards below.
While I agree with many of these choices and disagree about others, the one I must say I'm happiest to see is Alexander Berner winning for editing the Wachowski siblings and Tom Tykwer's Cloud Atlas. That movie successfully weaved six completely different stories together into one narrative, and the editing was an absolutely essential part of what made the movie as incredible as it was. The Academy Awards totally snubbed it, not even giving it recognition with a nomination, so it's great to see that at least one organization can appreciate how awesome that film was.
But what do you think about the Saturn Awards' choices? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.

There's been talk for a while about a written interview that a paper was going to do on HI&RH Prince Amedeo of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este, Hereditary Prince of Modena etc etc the whole list of titles. A written interview meaning no one actually talked to him but the questions were written out and he essentially sent them back (I suppose a few press offices in Laeken were involved, but that's the gist of it, really; and yes, hence the headline).
Now it's been dug up somewhere and a friend sent me the link the other day. And yes, the fact that they had to use a 4 year old picture is significant, imho.
Amedeo, un prince à New York
Yes, it's in French. No, I'm not going to provide a translation, mainly because while I can read French well enough and get the gist, my actual communication skills in it are crap. That includes translating. But if you need help, Google Translate is your friend.
Anyway, what it boils down to is: Boy is happy to be a private person rather than a working royal with a spotlight shone on him and overall, I can't blame him for it.
In blog news, I'm currently in the preparations of moving house again (twice in less than a year, oh joy), so depending on things like actual moving date, a working internet connection and some other things, so updates will probably be spotty once more.

Using Data to See and Select the Most Vulnerable Adolescent Girls
Download: English | French
Making adolescent girls visible is essential so that investments can be targeted toward those at the highest risk of the poorest outcomes. This premise underpins this brief, which seeks to find and target vulnerable adolescent girls and shape policy context. It provides guidance on resources and tools that can reveal the internal diversity of adolescents, identify the onset and extensiveness of vulnerability, demonstrate where there are high concentrations of vulnerable girls, assess girls share of youth resources, and identify communities and vulnerable girls for program participation. The brief concludes with field applications for making dynamic use of data. This is one of five 'GIRLS FIRST! Perspectives on Girl-Centered Programming' thematic reviews.

This has been a rough day of competition for Humble Researcher. Every single point had to be fought for.
Added 3 new source citations (Challenge 1)
In the My Maps application, I created a Google Maps depiction of the two locations where William Spencer Moore is known to have lived during his lifetime. This took a lot of trial and error; you can read about it on my post, which has been preposted and should appear on the blog tomorrow. (It's scheduled for 7:56 a.m. tomorrow – we'll see.) (Task A for Challenge 4)
Created 20 data entries (this was actually done by Day 2, but I didn't realize that it was one of the tasks) (Task E for Challenge 3)
Stored 22 hard-copy documents in proper places (Task A for Challenge 3)
Checked out the Ancestry tutorial page, but I had already watched most of the tutorials, so I tried the Articles Repository on Family Search. I took some notes on some microfilmed items to order from FHC for South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Could not download pdf's of Research Guides for the various states after I downloaded one for Tennessee, so I switched to Rootsweb, then selected the RootsWeb Guide to Tracing Family Trees, and chose the City Directories and Newsletters page. This provides a helpful list of some of the main repositories of directories (central ones such as DAR and the Library of Congress here in the Washington, D.C. area) and major newspaper collections listed by state. (Task D for Challenge 4)
Some real organizational weak points were revealed today: organization of photographs definitely needs a lot of work and I need to have a systematic way of handling paper copies of maps.

The 100 Best Business Books of All Time
Thousands of business books are published every year—Here are the best of the best. Now updated, with more than ten new books reviewed.
The 100 Best Business Books of All Time was written by two former leaders of 800-CEO-READ, Jack Covert and Todd Sattersten, with its current leader, Sally Haldorson. Originally published in 2009, The 100 Best is a guide to essential business reading for leaders, managers, and employees alike. If you want to grow, innovate, sell, lead, discover, and strategize, the books in The 100 Best are the ones to help you achieve your goals.
After years of reading, evaluating, and selling business books, 800-CEO-READ is the most respected expert on the category. Now they have chosen the 100 best business titles of all time—the ones that deliver the biggest payoff for today's busy readers.
The 100 Best puts each book in context, so that readers can quickly find solutions to the problems they face, such as how best to spend The First 90 Days in a new job or how to take their company from Good to Great. Many of the choices are surprising—you'll find reviews of Moneyball and Orbiting the Giant Hairball, but not Jack Welch's memoir.
At the end of each review, Jack and Todd direct readers to other books both inside and outside The 100 Best. And sprinkled throughout are sidebars taking the reader beyond business books, suggesting movies, novels, and even children's books that offer equally relevant insights.
This book will appeal to anyone, from entry-level to CEO, who wants to cut through the clutter and discover the brilliant books that are truly worth their investment of time and money.
Get a feel for the book. Get a feel for the book. Start with the introduction (download the PDF). Then check out a review from both of us: with a review from both Jack and Todd:
- Jack's review of The Essential Drucker (download the PDF)
- Todd's review of To Engineer is Human (download the PDF)
And to get a feel for the layout of the book, check out the book's "lost" chapter, which contains a collection of Industry book reviews. (Download the PDF)
Now retired, Jack Covert is the founder of and former president of 800-CEO-READ, now an independent company, but longtime partner of the Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops. Hired twenty-five years ago by the late David Schwartz to promote business and computer books to the Milwaukee business community, Jack used his considerable sales skills and innate business acumen to grow that 3-shelf business section into a 7 million dollar specialty business book retailer.
Todd Sattersten currently runs BizBookLab, a company that identifies, develops, and launches business books around the world from Portland, Oregon. Previously, he was president of 800-CEO-READ, spent six years at GE, and three years working with his father in the family sheet metal fabrication business. Todd received his BS in mechanical engineering from Michigan Technological University and his MBA from Marquette University.
Sally Haldorson is the General Manager of 800-CEO-READ and has worked for the company in many different roles for twenty years. She has an M.A. in English and Creative Writing, and lives in Milwaukee, WI with her husband and son.

BrownGreer plans to move headquarters to Rocketts Landing
- May 7, 2012
- |
A second law firm has announced that it's moving to Rocketts Landing. BrownGreer has signed a letter of intent to buy the 38,000-square-foot, Cedar Works building at Rocketts Landing, a mixed-use project on the waterfront near downtown Richmond.
The brick building, which is more than 100 years old, "is in need of renovation," said Richard Souter, a vice president with The WVS Cos., Rocketts' developer. BrownGreer doesn't plan to move its 300 employees until next March. It now has space in several locations, including a current headquarters in Shockoe Bottom in downtown Richmond and some office space in the Innsbrook area in western Henrico. The move would allow the law firm to consolidate its operations.
Rocketts, which currently offers townhomes, condominiums and retail, has been planning to add office as a third component and appears to be making inroads. In March, Rawls McNelis + Mitchell, a 14-lawyer firm, said it would occupy 6,000 square feet of office in a three-story building that had been used as Rocketts Landing's sales center. It plans to move to the development in eastern Henrico County by the end of August.
"We haven't really had a large, office component to speak about until we signed with Rawls McNelis," said Souter. "When we close the deal with BrownGreer, it says Rocketts Landing is open for office space. 38,000 square feet is a significant office lease. We have a lot of opportunities for build-to-suit sites throughout the property."
The first residents moved to Rocketts in 2006. Souter said construction will begin this summer on 150 apartments near the river on the Henrico County side of the development. "We have a number of additional restaurants planned near that site as well," he added. Ultimately, the completion of the Virginia Capital Trail, planned for 2014, would create a pedestrian footpath along the James that Souter says would connect many restaurants up and down the river.

By VALARIE HARRING
A Mariner High School junior has been selected as one of only 50 students nationwide to take part in this year's prestigious Four Star Leadership Program with General Tommy Franks.
Article Photos
Mariner High School junior Carrick Brennan, 17.
Carrick Brennan, 17, will leave Sunday for the week-long program to be held on the campus of Oklahoma Christian University in Oklahoma City.
There, he will take part in the all-expenses-paid program designed to allow "50 of the top high school students in the United States to meet face-to-face with national and international leaders," to "develop skills in teambuilding, persuasive speaking, persuasive writing, and collective problem solving," the Four Star web site states.
The program culminates in the awarding of $15,000 in scholarships. It also affords participants an opportunity to receive endorsements, recommendations and internships from top world leaders - not a bad opportunity for a student with his eye on admission to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis.
"Very proud," Brennan said when asked how he felt about being selected. "It's a great honor. Honestly, I don't know how to think about it, but I'm just excited to go."
An advance placement student who has already achieved the rank of command sergeant major in Mariner's JROTC program, Brennan was nominated by his commander, Mark Richards.
Brennan filled out the application and was notified of his selection in April. Now, he is preparing for the program, which will include exercises under the direction of "professional policy analysts, university professors, and other experts," all designed to provide top-level leadership skills that can be brought forward.
Program participants then will compete individually and in teams for the scholarships, which will range from $2,500 to the winners in persuasive speaking and op-ed writing to varying amounts for Student Congress. The scholarship amounts will be matched with awards to the students' schools.
"I'm really proud of him," said his mother, Colleen Brennan-Stoutnar. "He has aspired to go to Annapolis, and I think this will really pave his way. "
In addition to his mother, his family in Cape Coral includes his father, Allan Stoutnar, and his sister, Chloe Rose Stoutnar, 8, a student at Oasis Elementary.

DOJ To Reporter: We Can Prove You're Wrong, But We Want To Embarrass You, So We'll Wait
from the that's-not-how-it-works dept
Over at Cryptome today there's an absolutely incredible exchange between the Justice Department's Brian Fallon (from the Office of Public Affairs -- basically a PR guy) and Brad Heath, an investigative reporter from USA Today. Heath had sent the DOJ a FOIA request to the DOJ's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) asking basically whether or not the OPR had been involved in any investigation concerning the recently declassified FISA Court order, about how the NSA had misled the FISA court and abused its capabilities repeatedly. It certainly seems reasonable to try to find out if the DOJ then investigated those abuses and the NSA's misrepresentations to the FISA court.
The DOJ claimed that there were no responsive documents -- which even by itself is quite incredible. Heath appears to have then followed up with Fallon at the DOJ to seek comments. Fallon's response by itself is stunning:
I have an answer from OPR, and a FISC judge. I am not providing it to you because all you will do is seek to write around it because you are biased in favor of the idea that an inquiry should have been launched. So I will save what I have for another outlet after you publish.Basically, this is the DOJ giving the middle finger to Heath, telling him that they have answers to his questions, but won't give them to him in order to purposely try to make him look bad by giving those quotes to someone else. Heath, quite reasonably, responded that he's been perfectly patient in waiting for an answer, but if none is forthcoming, he'll write the story as he has it (which, from the FOIA request, suggests that the DOJ did absolutely nothing about the NSA's abuses and misrepresentations to the FISC).
Fallon responds that he's "done negotiating" and claims that he "will work with someone else afterwards explaining why what you reported is off base." So, not only is the DOJ not answering the reporter, it's telling the reporter that the reporter has incorrect information but the DOJ refuses to correct the reporter in order to make the reporter look bad. Heath points out that he's not "negotiating" he's just asking for answers to basic questions. And then the real issue comes out in the DOJ's reply:
You are not actually open-minded to the idea of not writing the story. You are running it regardless. I have information that undercuts your premise, and would provide it if I thought you were able to be convinced that your story is off base. Instead, I think that to provide it to you would just allow you to cover your bases, and factor it into a story you still plan to write. So I prefer to hold onto the information and use it after the fact, with a different outlet that is more objective about whether an OPR inquiry was appropriateYeah. The DOJ is saying that it has answers to a reporter's questions, which it knows adds to the public debate about the DOJ's response to the NSA's activities, but because it's trying to stifle the report, it won't share the info with him. This is incredible. It's a clear move by the DOJ to try to silence the press with an effective threat: "if you agree not to publish your article, then we'll explain why we did what we did. If you do publish your article, we'll make you look foolish."
This is incredibly childish and unprofessional behavior by Fallon and the DOJ. Remember how this is supposed to be "the most transparent administration in history"? Apparently the DOJ thinks that only means "we'll be transparent if you only agree to write nice stuff about us." That's not how it works.
Heath points out that Fallon is wrong -- if Heath just wanted to publish the story he would have done so already, without waiting for a comment from the DOJ. And then he points out the obvious:
You can't seriously ask me not to publish something on the basis of information you won't shareEither way, this seems to highlight (once again) how the federal government, and especially the DOJ, views journalists these days -- especially investigative journalists. It will do anything possible to intimidate them into not publishing stories that might embarrass the administration. That's not transparency, it's thuggery and intimidation.
