AG says body found in Unity is that of Charlestown womanBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 07. 2013 6:18PM
Investigators with the Attorney General's office have confirmed that a body found in a wooded area in Unity Saturday is that of a Charlestown woman who disappeared 10 days ago.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell said the body of Kelly Robarge, 42, of 124 Happy Acres Road, was positively identified using dental records and what was termed a "distinctive" tattoo during an autopsy conducted Sunday afternoon.
Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Jennie Duval, determined the cause of Robarge's death to be homicidal violence by undetermined means. The manner of her death was determined to be homicide.
The body was found off Britton Road in Unity.
Officials have been looking for Robarge since she was reported missing June 27. She was last seen late that morning, and there has been no communication with family or friends since.
Robarge's estranged husband, James Robarge, 43, of Rockingham, Vt., was arrested in Vermont Tuesday on unrelated motor vehicle charges after he called a local medical center to say he might hurt himself or others. He pleaded innocent to the charges in a Brattleboro, Vt., courtroom Wednesday. He is being held on $5,000 cash or surety bail.
Morrell said no charges have been filed in connection with Robarge's death, but that her husband remains a "person of interest."
"We don't have a timetable as to when charges may be filed, or further comment on the investigation," said Morrell. "We don't believe the general public is in danger at this time, but as we said before they should take the necessary precautions to ensure personal safety while the investigation into her death remains active."

Look to Black Catholics
A new report from the University of Notre Dame offers an optimistic look at an often-overlooked Catholic demographic: African-Americans. Commissioned by the National Black Catholic Congress, the first national Black Catholic Survey found that African-Americans are more engaged in their parishes than their white counterparts. Not only do many black Catholics attend Mass regularly, they also take part in other parish-sponsored events. What's more, many young black Catholics are also committed to their faith. "This is a bright spot for the church," said Bishop John H. Ricard, president of the National Black Catholic Congress.
In their analysis of the report, the authors conclude that "African-American Catholics behave and look like African-American Protestants," who have a long tradition of religious commitment. Here, then, is an example of a Catholic community that has flourished in America's ecumenical society. The Catholic Church's historical treatment of African-Americans has been mixed, but the majority of those surveyed felt that the church is meeting their needs today: 78 percent said that parishes served their spiritual needs "well or very well," compared with 67 percent of their white counterparts. Still, there are areas for improvement. Fewer respondents (62 percent) felt that the church met their social needs. And a majority felt that the church could do more to promote black saints and recruit black priests. It is disturbing, too, that a quarter of respondents "encountered people avoiding them or refusing to shake hands."
The example of African-American Catholics, who place less emphasis on "the individual and more on the communitarian aspects of a church," according to Bishop Ricard, should be held up as a model for all Catholics to emulate.
Hooked on Drug Profits
Even as health care costs consume a greater share of the U.S. gross domestic product, some pharmaceutical companies are aggressively working to extend their patent protections on blockbuster drugs. Pfizer's cholesterol-reducing drug Lipitor, for example, has been hugely profitable; it accounts for a quarter of the company's revenues over the last 10 years. But the patent for Lipitor expired in November and generic drugs to lower cholesterol, like atorvastatin, are entering the market. Since after the first six months or year of start-up expenses generic versions tend to cost much less than brand-name drugs, the generics benefit consumers, insurers and the government, which subsidizes millions of prescription drug purchases through Medicare, Medicaid and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
To hold on to its market share as long as possible, however, Pfizer has made deals with insurers, pharmacy benefit managers and patients to sell its brand rather than a generic. The company has also promised discounts on co-pays, temporarily lowering its prices to keep the generic-drug makers from gaining a foothold.
If Pfizer's efforts succeed, the profits will serve shareholders at the expense of society at large, for the price of Lipitor will go back up. And if other pharmaceutical companies follow Pfizer's lead, the delay in transition to generic drugs could become costlier still. One pharmaceutical consultant reportedly said that more than $80 billion in brand-name drugs are poised to go generic over the next two years. If the price falls to $10 billion, he said, that would mean saving $70 billion in health care costs. Whatever the actual price difference, federal regulators ought to scrutinize such deals now, lest the big pharmaceutical firms hooked on drug profits divert desperately needed savings in U.S. health care.
A Long Goodbye
The Vatican's dogged pursuit of the Society of St. Pius X was rebuffed yet again in November when the society objected to the wording of a still mysterious "Doctrinal Preamble." That document is intended to begin the canonical reconciliation of the recalcitrant Lefebvrists with the church. Unfortunately, they seem to be holding out for a renegotiation of the Second Vatican Council.
What amazes is the Curia's patient attention to this grumpy micro-minority of schismatic Catholics. The enduring reconciliation campaign is disconcerting when throngs of nonschismatic Catholics—outraged parents, for example, and exasperated young women (including former altar servers)—drift away in search of greener pastures. Yet these ongoing losses have not provoked comparable intervention. Can anyone imagine Rome maintaining such forbearance in negotiation with, say, Call to Action or Voice of the Faithful? Unity is always welcome, but how much does the church gain from restoring these 19th-century romantics?
Surely the good shepherd searching for the lost sheep remains a standard of pastoral care. No one can deny the moral beauty of the shepherd's calculated risk-taking. But when the shepherd surveys his flock and spots one sheep straying over a hillside to the right while a third or more of the flock is disappearing into a forest on the left, can there be any doubt about which way he should go?
I have to agree with Walter Mattingly. The suspicion expressed in this editorial toward Pfizer, a very old and reputatble American pharmacutical company that is completely deserving of respect, and its profiting from its highly effective and in-demand product Lipitor is unfounded. This editorial lacks gratitude and appreciation for all the many life-enchancing medicines Pfizer has made available to the great benefits of people worldwide for decades.
Let's be serious. This is not the 12th century. New medicines are being developed at great cost, effort and risk by private companies employing very high skilled people. These products take years to develop and years more to study and document the effectiveness of any new drug. Many drugs after years of development and testing are terminated due to lack of effecitveness or unacceptable safety risks. With the long development cycle and risk of develpment failure, the risk of hugh financial losses are an inherent part of the pharmacutical business. To hire the skilled people needed, go through a long development cylcle that can fail t and be able to sustain losses without going out of business requires that a large porfits be made to fainance all these efforts and the risks.
The cynical belittleing of profits does not make sense. Profits must be made. Only profit making companies produce the number of effective new medicines needed by 21st century society.
An excellent analogy! I'm one of the "third or more" who left after years of VOTF meetings as well as writing letters to bishops and Pope John Paul II, begging them to hold bishops accountable for covering up clergy abuse.
At Penn State and Syracuse, those who covered up the abuse of children either resigned or were fired.
Except for those who retired or died, the bishops whose negligence spread the abuse across the planet are still in positions of power and honor, and John Paul is on the fast track to canonization.
T?he survivors of clergy abuse who still stand outside Cathedrals ?e?a?c?h? ?w?e?e?k?? are the ones responsible for any positive changes in the church in the past ten year?s?,? ?n?o?t? ?t?h?e? ?h?i?e?r?a?r?c?h?y?.
For your information,
I just re-ordered a 30 day supply of Lipitor for a family member by phone with CVS. The copay was $50 last month. The pharmacist informs me that they can make a substitute for the generic by Massachusetts law without a new perscription. So this month Lipitor copay for my insurance company will be $20 dollars, the same copay that I pay for most perscriptions. - a 60% reduction in monthly copay.
So the price for Lipitor has come down as you would expect now that the patent has expired. The Lipitor formula is now in the pulbic domain so any company can now legally produce and disrtibute the exact same formula as Lipitor under their own brand label. So Pfizer's Lipitor will have lots of compition that will keep the price lower. No need for suspicion of a price conspiracy which is illegal. The system works and all parties are acting properly under the law.
While I'm glad you love my "rightie" consistency, you might like it even more if you encountered what I actually wrote. For example, "There are legitimate complaints to make about the drug companies and their paid lobbyists from the government-corporate revolving door such as Tom Daschle," such as the non competitive, anti-free market agreement on drugs forged with the likes of Daschle under the Bush administration with drug companies. Yet Pfizer lowering its price through lower copays on Lipitor as it moves to generic status is a legitimate way for it to maintain market share. The larger point, however, is the consistency which "lefties" such as yourself object to corporate profits. It likely outrages you that the richest of all the greedy corporate pig 1%ers, Bill Gates, by himself rivals the effectiveness of the World Health Organization and its many bureaucrats in life-saving efforts.
Likewise, if you can only succeed in sufficiently undermining the profits of drug companies, they will slow down on developing the properly named miracle drugs that have so benefitted you and me and the rest of humankind. But like the Occupiers, whose bogus reference to themselves as we are the 99% is actually about 33% who approve of them, your "1%" who "keep getting fat" is off by almost a similar amount, for as you may already know, we are the fattest people in the world, with obesity issues named as the main single factor contributing to our rising health costs. If you successfully propagandize against the companies who develop needed drugs, perhaps you can successfully prevent them from developing a drug for diabetes and other weight-related problems, allowing us all to suffer together from the high health costs and the chronic illnesses and early deaths we enjoy from these diseases. But we will, if those of a socialist orientation succeed, be equally deprived of such benefits as we join Greece, Cuba, and Venezuela in a shared solidarity of penury.
Re: Hooked on Drug Profits
I think it is most important to research a companies social responsibility. Possibly
there is some truth on both sides, although it is important not to idealize the
goodness of the drug companies. It is time in our history to reward companies
that consider social responsibility and profit making. Pfizer is listed as a corporate
Villain. MM's "Worst Corporation" list for 5 yrs. - Named " Environmental Laggard" by
CEP - # 17 in " Top 100 Corporate Criminals"- Spent $93 million on Washington lobbyisits. Over all rating of corporate responsibility in "The better world shopping guide- F . Also our government ( the american people) provide subsidies- for the
research of the new drugs. There is a huge effort in the marketing of drugs. Believe
we are the only industrialized nation that allows this. The bottom line drugs should
be developed to promote well-being- should be made available not only to those who
can afford them. I do work in the health care industry- There are many that benefit
from named brand drugs and if you do ,count yourself lucky, because many never
have that opportunity. Pfizer had a long relationship with our community- downsizing
sent operations elsewhere. Change begins with each and everyone of us.

I rather liked the way it appeared in the print magazine, finishing "one sheep straying over a hillsode to the right while a third or more of [blank]. . . ."
A proofreader's error no doubt, but its virtue is that it allows us to fill in the blanks! which of course many of us would do in the way your online version suggests.
On Penn State and the continuing scandal in the Church (I see it's now the turn of the Dutch, and the requisite Dutch bishop has now uttered the usual "apology"):
If I were running Penn State, I would hold an open-to-all seminar on how and how not to handle the problem of sex abuse. And among those many whom I would invite to participate would be the Catholic bishops, and perhaps also a representative of the Vatican, though he (or she) would hold only observer status, to listen.
Re Black Catholics:
The infusion of musical forms and sounds, from African roots, into the culture of America was both an impetus toward, and measure of, racial equality. When the music directors, and choir masters in Catholic Churches perform choral pieces by the Rev. James Cleveland, and jazz devotional compositions, and do it on a regular basis, an important transformation will begin. It has been said of Anglican/Episcopal Churches, "Alas, some come only for the music." Maybe this time, they will stay for the community of spiritual fellowship.
Re Look to Black Catholics:
"Where is your faith in God?" by Rev. James Cleveland.
Find it HERE:
I don't think we need to be concerned about slowing down all the research the large drug companies make by restricting their profits. They actually do very little research, spending most of their money on advertising, lobbying, and paying their shareholders and CEO's. You might find this web site interesting http://www.wanttoknow.info/truthaboutdrugcompanies
One in 10 US adults are former Catholics. In the USA there are 228.1 million adults(from a 2008 study by the PEW FORUM ON RELIGION & PUBLIC LIFE). Therefore, there are 22.8million ex-Catholics in theUSA. As a denomination, it would be the second largest in the country, behind Catholics (68.1 million, according to the National Council of Churches' 2010 Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches). The ex-Catholics would far outnumber the next largest denomination, Southern Baptists, who claim 16.2 million members. (Tom Roberts, NCR editor-at-large, 'The 'had it' Catholics: the emerging Church", NCR 10/15/2010)
Maybe the church will worry with the one-third becomes the 99%. Then who will fund the clericalism with its attendant perks, dresses, obeisances, palaces and scores of little sychophantic newly-minted priesty boyz who are so madly in love with the 19th century?
I've taken steps to ensure the hastening of that day. May it come sooner rather than later. From what I have seen of the church in Europe and, yes, the US, "sooner" is not just a pipe dream.

These investments had both short-term and longer term effects:
Using participatory evaluation methods, researchers shifted their focus to:
Because data were sparse, researchers looked for information from a variety of traditional and nontraditional sources. They examined incident and arrest reports, case files, arrest logs and reports to funders and oversight agencies.
Results showed that:
The evaluation pointed to a new strategy for fighting crime at the Northern Cheyenne reservation. By targeting low-level offenders, the tribe could effectively diminish the frequency and severity of reservation crime.

[note 1] The CIRCLE Project — the Comprehensive Indian Resources for Community and Law Enforcement Project — was a partnership of several agencies in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) with the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, Oglala Sioux Tribe and Pueblo of Zuni to strengthen the tribes' criminal justice systems. As part of the initiative, the National Institute of Justice and its DOJ partners funded an evaluation of the CIRCLE Project.
Funds came from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, Corrections Program Office, Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Office for Victims of Crime, Office on Violence Against Women, and Office of the Comptroller.

Well we all survived our New Year's Eve party which is always a fun time. Connie & I served dinner on New Years Day.
On the 3rd it was breakfast in our pj's. Kelly, Kinsey, Connie and I served muffins, braided bread, breakfast casserole, orange juice and coffee. Talk about a fun time, that was it.
The 6th it was planned to take a trip to the library, but that was that really cold day, so we decided there would be better days ahead.
We had four birthdays this month, Rose Moser on the 11th, she treated us with delicious cinnamon rolls, juice and coffee. Kinsey Dinsdale on the 15th, so we enjoyed Scratch cupcakes and ice cream and coffee, Ron Mastain on the 23rd and he treated us with cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls, juice and coffee and Roger Ullery on the 29th and he treated us with Leah Kakes cupcakes and ice cream. I hope that each and everyone of you have many more happy birthdays.
A trip to the casino was planned to go on the 14th. Those that went had a good time. We will do this again sometime when it is warmer.
Janet Schildroth came on the 20th for bible study. She always comes up with some really interesting and fun lessons.
This was a bad month to plan anything because of the weather. On the 22nd we were going to Slice at Dike, but because of the cold and blowing snow we stayed home.
Donna Peters, Sandra Petersen and Mary Nielsen came in and made fritters for us, they were delicious. We also had fresh fruit, cheese, sausage and crackers to go with them. We always look forward to this.
Sugar and Spice was to come on the 27th and again the weather was interrupting our plans. Sugar and Spice couldn't get here and since we had supper already made we enjoyed supper together anyway. We had hot ham and cheese sandwiches, chips, apple salad, cupcakes and coffee.
Pastor Terry came for worship services on the 29th.
Otherwise it was our usual things like exercise, cards, bingo anything to keep us from getting cabin fever.
We have started to have bingo on Saturday night at 5 p.m. in our dining room just bring .50 cents and come join us. When we are done playing bingo we go together and order pizza. Another fun time at the Party Palace.

The Giants' depth chart currently has two players listed as their starting tailback, but only one of Andre Brown or David Wilson will be on the field for the first snap against the Cowboys on September 8.
During an appearance on ESPN Radio on Friday, General Manager Jerry Reese said that Wilson, the team's first-round pick in 2012, would be that player.
"We expect [Wilson] to be our starter, and be in the backfield with Andre Brown, who had a terrific season going last year until he got hurt," Reese said. "[Brown's] had the injury bug a little bit since he's been in the league. But if he can stay healthy, and David Wilson comes on like we expect him too, we think we can have a pretty dynamic backfield."
It's not surprising that Wilson wound up with the job. He has a game-breaking gear that Brown doesn't have and the team didn't draft him where they did to sit behind a player who has played 14 games in his four NFL seasons.
Starting isn't everything, though, and the preseason has revealed that the Giants still prefer Brown as a third down back because he is a more capable pass blocker than Wilson. If Wilson can't pick that part of the game up to the satisfaction of the coaching staff, the split of playing time might be closer than some expect because the Giants will want to avoid both big hits on Eli Manning and the predictability that can come into an offense when defenses know that certain plays are off the board due to the personnel on the field.

Blast rocks ExxonMobil's Beaumont plant, burning contract workers
Twelve workers at ExxonMobil's Beaumont plant were injured when an explosion rocked the facility about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 17.
According to Beaumont Fire Department spokesman Brad Penisson, three of the 12 workers were critically injured and sustained severe burns as a result of the fire.
All were transported to local hospitals by ambulances — at least 10 of which could be seen entering and exiting the ExxonMobil facility about 11 a.m.
"The cause is under investigation, but it was a processing area that was down for maintenance and it was contained quickly and has been extinguished," said Exxon Mobile spokeswoman Kathleen Jackson minutes after the blaze was put out.
Jackson said the workers were contract workers and the facility's fire crew and other employees have all been accounted for.
While answering questions from reporters on the scene, Jackson said she did not know the cause of the fire.
"We will conduct a complete investigation to determine the cause of the incident," she said.
Jackson went on to say fire and explosions are few at the plant.
"We have a very excellent safety record," she said. "Incidents like this are rare."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A boy and a girl hanging out with a group of fellow students in a high school gym were shot and wounded Friday afternoon, and up to three boys may have been involved in the shooting, police said.
One boy fled and was captured near his home, and one or two other boys were being sought, they said.
The shooting happened at the Delaware Valley Charter High School in north Philadelphia around 3 p.m., authorities said.
Surveillance video shows a group of about seven students hanging around in the gym when the shooting happened, police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said. It was unclear if the shooting was accidental or intentional, but it "doesn't look like an active shooter type of situation," he said.
The wounded boy and girl each were shot in an arm, but it was unclear whether one or two shots were fired, Ramsey said. The wounded students, believed to be 15 years old, were taken to a hospital near the school, where they were listed in stable condition, police said.
The boy who was captured lives in south Philadelphia, miles away from the school, and may have driven or taken a bus home after the shooting, Ramsey said. No gun was recovered, he said.
"We have not found a gun, but there's two, perhaps three, youngsters that were together," Ramsey said. "We're not sure which one fired. One of the ones that we have was part of that group."
He said they were all boys and all students at the school.
Ramsey didn't know what staffing or security procedures were in place at the school but said "there was a breakdown in security of some kind" because the gun got into the building.
Former student Donte Jenkins, who graduated last year, said there were metal detectors at the entrance and he couldn't figure out how someone could have gotten in with a gun.
"It was always a safe environment," said Jenkins, 19. "It was never a bad environment. I don't know how this really happened."
The school was placed on lockdown and secured by SWAT officers checking each room. Students were searched and released one by one.
Terry Starks, an outreach supervisor for the gun control group Philadelphia CeaseFire, was outside the school Friday evening and was trying to contact his son, a student.
"I'm a gunshot victim so I already know how being shot affects the family," he said. "I feel bad for the mothers and the fathers of these children that got shot. ... Your heart drops."
A spokesman for the school district didn't immediately respond to a call seeking comment. The president of the charter school's board of trustees said he didn't have any additional information about the shooting, not the only U.S. school shooting this week.
Authorities said a seventh-grader opened fire Tuesday in a New Mexico middle school gym, wounding two classmates.

On May 18 at Newport Hospital, Jake Metcalf McNeil was born weighing in at 6 pounds, 14 ounces. He is the son of Sharon and Vernon McNeil of East Shore Road
Married for 18 years, this is the couple's first child. They have lived on the island for 10 years.
Asked how he feels about being a father, Vernon, 40, said, "It's a great experience, very rewarding, we look forward to raising him." Adding that everything is going well, he said that Jake tends to get up every few hours. "He'll bring a lot of joy to our lives. I'm happy he's with us."
What's he going to do on his first Father's Day? "I'm sure Sharon has something planned."

More than 100 teachers, family members, retirees and support staff turned out last Thursday at the North Beach Club in Narragansett to honor Jamestown School recent retirees Susan Haskell, Pat Cook and Debbie Murphy.
The retirement party was catered by Ann Deffley and Karen Rafanelli and coordinated by a group of present and retired teachers.
Attendees included former Superintendents of School Phyllis Schmidt and Kathy Sipala.
The three guests of honor were presented with blankets made from the wool of Watson Farm sheep.

Cliffy, a golden Pyrenees mix, was the companion of Cathryn Jamieson and spent many days with her and the clients at Cathryn's salon on Narragansett Avenue. She said that on the day Cliffy died he had had a "perfect day" with a total grooming and chicken piccata for lunch. He then took his final walk in the corral behind his house.
He is missed.

Bad weather can scare your pet, but you can help Fluffy through it says Dr. Joshua Hatch of the Jamestown Animal Clinic in his Pet Tip of the Week.
"Does your dog shake, cry, or hide every time it rains or thunderstorms? Storm phobias are common behavior issues in dogs and can vary from a hiding in the basement to very destructive behavior like clawing through doors to get away from the storm. If Fluffy has a storm phobia you should talk to your veterinarian about possible desensitization to the storms as well as anti-anxiety medications. Desensitization involves slowly acclimating the dog to storms or thunder while simultaneously rewarding them for good, calm behavior with treats, praise, and play.
"Whenever storms are near make sure to provide your dog with a safe, quiet hiding place that he can access as needed. You can also play music to mask some of the noises of the storm and try to distract your dog with playtime, treats, and food but never punish a dog for its phobias. Recognizing your dog's phobia and seeking early behavior modification are the keys to helping your pet through this problem."

On that day they can review the Cadet Parade, receive guided tours of the facility, and attend the Army vs. Temple football game. There will also be a tailgate event put on by the Hudson Valley Council of the BSA.
Should it come to pass aside from saving the money, there is another advantage to laying off 1,000 state workers. Some things might actually get done with all that bureacracy out of the way.
Probably not.

You won't see many Red Sox play in the All-Star Game on Fox Tuesday night, but Fox analyst Tom Verducci thinks you'll see at least a few Sox on their way out of Boston soon.
"I just don't see them getting hot enough in a short period of time to convince me that they're a true contender," Verducci said. "So I do expect this is a team that in the back half of this month is going to be a seller, but I would not expect a fire sale. I think they'll be selective with the parts they put up."
Verducci doesn't believe designating A.J. Pierzynski for assignment will be Boston's only move. He thinks Jake Peavy could be dealt and Stephen Drew could be released.
"I'd like to see Xander Bogaerts back at shortstop," Verducci said, "where it looks like he's scheduled to be for the next 10 years and try to get his head and swing straight."
Verducci expects teams to contact the Sox about acquiring left-handed pitcher Jon Lester, whose contract expires at season's end.
"I don't expect he will get traded, but I expect his name will come up," Verducci said.
Verducci, Joe Buck and Harold Reynolds were in Boston to call the Sox's 7-4 loss to Baltimore Saturday night on Fox, so they've seen the slumping Sox up close.
"I would be surprised," Buck said, "if they believe they have enough as they sit here right now, maybe to contend and be competitive in the AL East, but to win anything in 2014, they just don't seem to have the personnel."
Prior to the season, Buck, Reynolds and Verducci all said that the Sox would not repeat as World Series champions, and those predictions look good right now, but Reynolds and Verducci didn't fare as well when they picked Tampa Bay to win the AL East. Reynolds also erred in ranking Bogaerts high on his list of candidates to win the AL Rookie of the Year Award.
Buck pointed out that St. Louis, whom the Sox beat in the World Series last year, is also suffering through a disappointing season, but the Cardinals have a winning record. The Red Sox were 39-51 entering Wednesday.
Reynolds believes the Sox are torn between developing such young players as Bogaerts, Brock Holt, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mookie Betts, and trying to win now with such veterans as Peavy, Drew and Jonny Gomes, all of whom are having subpar seasons.
"They're kind of in flux right now," Reynolds said, "and it seemed like last year they really had a great plan on what they wanted to do and the direction they were going in. I think right now they're caught in the middle and the next week or two is going to be critical not for just this year but for the future for the Red Sox."
Fox will televise the 85th Major League Baseball All-Star Game at 8 p.m. Tuesday from Target Field in Minneapolis. This will be the 16th All-Star broadcast for Buck, and the first one for Reynolds and Verducci.
Reynolds played in the All-Star Game in 1987 and 1988.
Boston's victory in the World Series last fall earned John Farrell the right to manage the 2014 American League All-Star team. Farrell won't manage any Sox position players in the All-Star Game, and after the way the Sox have hit this season, you've got to believe he's looking forward to that. But with Lester and closer Koji Uehara as Boston's All-Stars, the game won't be as much fun for Sox fans.
Fox plans to interview Derek Jeter after he leaves his final All-Star Game, and the network hopes to mike him during the game. Last year's All-Star Game featured Mariano Rivera's final All-Star appearance.
In Buck's opinion, however, no All-Star Game tribute can compare to 1999 at Fenway Park when 80-year-old Ted Williams was driven in a golf cart to the pitcher's mound so he could throw out the first pitch. The All-Stars, clearly in awe of the Sox great, gathered around him. Williams' eyesight was faltering, so he had to ask where home plate was, but with All-Star Tony Gwynn holding his left arm to steady him, he fired a strike as the sellout crowd erupted. Buck pointed out that while Fox televised the tribute, it was not a made-for-TV moment.
"That just happened," Buck said, "and it happened in such a way that baseball has been trying to recreate that seemingly ever year since."
This will be the first All-Star Game on Fox since the launch of sister network Fox Sports 1 last August. Fox Sports 1 plans to air 20 hours of All-Star programming.

While in 2015 the color white in its many variations served as the base color for interior design trends, the new year is bringing us fresh tones of yellow. Would you like your home to radiate warmth and light-heartedness?
Yellow walls or yellow wallpaper are a great way to let sunny vibes into your kitchen, breakfast room or winter garden. Be it a delicate eggshell yellow or a bright shade of sunflower – there are no limits to the choice of available colours. Yellow stands for joie de vivre, it energises, is mood-enhancing and optimistic. The colour should always be used purposefully, as it might otherwise dominate the room interior. The bedroom in particular should be kept in low-key colours.
Colour combinations with yellow
Combining yellow and white makes a room appear summerly and open. If you prefer something more subtle, keep most of the room in white and simply use yellow decor to accentuate.
Combined with grey, yellow becomes a highlighter. Elegant, dark walls or wall areas set a nice accent which can be brightened up with yellow accessories. Black, too, provides a suitable counterbalance. But be sure not to use too many colours in your interior design. Follow the credo: less is more.
The most daring can contrast yellow accessories with gentle shades of pink. Dusky pink and mustard yellow in particular convey a touch of femininity and retro-chic. However, this combination should be used as a discreet highlight, not as the primary room colours.
Berry tones like deep burgundy or violet also offer a nice contrast to the yellow. Yellow accessories are beautiful and impressive eye-catchers, especially on walls shaded in purple. In order to further enhance this contrast, you could also use bright hues such as canary yellow or a gaudy lemon yellow.
Even yellow furniture is becoming quite popular. It makes the room appear brighter, and thus larger. Generally, the colour yellow is suitable for setting a single colour accent: bright yellow cushions, wallpaper or selected pieces of furniture can be used in 2016 to convey a sense of happiness and well-being.

Want to see Miley Cyrus naked? Well, she wants you to, if her video for "Wrecking Ball" is any indication.
Backed by dramatic lyrics that suggests a love gone wrong, the video has the 20-year-old writhing on the ground in bikini underpants and a cropped tank, suggestively licking and stroking a sledgehammer and, yes, riding a wrecking ball au naturale, except for a pair of boots.
Fiance Liam Hemsworth must be so proud.
Oh, wait, she's not wearing her engagement ring in this video. Hmm...
This is the same Miley who on Saturday performed "We Can't Stop" on a German TV show, "Schlag den Raab," with a backing band made up entirely of little people — including one woman who let the former Hannah Montana slap her on the behind as she little-twerked.
And yes, this is same the Miley who reportedly twerked her own self right off the cover of Vogue, according to the Mail on Sunday, which reported that Anna Wintour axed the pop tart from the December issue of the mag.
"Anna found the whole thing distasteful," a source told the paper, referring to Cyrus' lewd, latex-wearing display at the MTV Video Music Awards. "She decided, based on Miley's performance, to take the cover in a different direction."
That after having shot photos for the December cover, the paper said, where she was to be touted as a new fashion icon.
Now, not so much.
Guess you have to wear something to be considered a fashion icon?

Top Gun: Linebacker/D-Back evaluations
MORE: Foster
headlines Sunday surprises | QB/WR Evaluations |
href="http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=828567" style="text-decoration:none;">RB Evaluations
PAISLEY, Fla. – Rivals.com recruiting analyst Barry Every spent Sunday's afternoon session analyzing the defensive backs and linebackers. Again, the FBU coaching staff went out of their way to allow us complete access. Bob Palko led the linebackers while Perry Williams instructed the defensive backs. Players are listed in alphabetical order.
6-2, 218, ILB Conway Springs (KS) Conway Springs
Assets: Has good size for an ILB and was a vocal leader of the group.
What was most impressive at camp: You could tell this kid really likes every part of football,including every aspect of practice.
Areas for improvement: Needs to work some on his lateral movement and change of direction.
On the Hoof: Has wide shoulders, lean legs and very big hands. I don't think there is any doubt about him getting off blocks.
5-10, 200, OLB Apopka (FL) Apopka
Assets: Some of the fastest feet I have seen all year.
What was most impressive at camp: He always had a smile on his face and his lateral movement is superior to most linebackers in the country.
Areas for improvement: He will need to continue to add muscle mass and strength while keeping his tremendous athleticism.
On the Hoof: There is no doubt that he is slightly undersized and may actually be a hybrid S/LB. But "Pooh Bear" has an extremely athletic lower body and room to grow up top.
6-2, 208, OLB/S Vero Beach (FL) Vero Beach
Assets: Great lateral movement and excellent ball skills.
What was most impressive at camp: Motta displayed very good closing speed in pass skeleton.
Areas for improvement: Would like to see him concentrate on being a linebacker at the next level. His great frame will surely take 25-pounds of muscle mass.
On the Hoof: Has good height, muscular calves and is really cut. Somebody was calling him Brian Urlacher.
6-2, 205, OLB Eagle Lake (FL) Lake Region 2010
Assets: Has a tremendous burst and excellent ball skills.
What was most impressive at camp: For a guy who is making the change from safety to linebacker, he sure looked a natural.
Areas for improvement: He just needs to get reps at his new position because all the tools are there.
On the Hoof: Has good height, long arms and wide shoulders. Robinson's frame will fill out and enable him to play all three linebacker positions.
5-11, 160, DB Pompano Beach (Fla.) Ely
Assets: Has excellent hands and can really flip those hips when the receiver makes his move.
What was most impressive at camp: Even though he is a little light right now, he is not afraid to use his arms and hands to get a positional advantage on the receiver.
Areas for improvement: Carter has excellent height for a corner but needs to add some muscle mass to take the wear and tear of college football.
On the Hoof: Again has good height for a corner, but he is very slender. He also has very long arms which allow him to make more plays on the ball than the average defensive back.
6-2, 180, S Harbor City (CA) Narbonne
Assets: Has good change of direction, long arms and excellent height for a corner.
What was most impressive at camp: Showed some serious elevation on a pass thrown over the middle during pass skeleton.
Areas for improvement: Needs to work some on his overall speed, but hischange of direction and long arms allow him to recover if beaten on a route.
On the Hoof: Moore has great height and a frame that can still add more size. Don't be surprised if he is cross-trained as a free safety.
5-8, 160, CB Washington (DC) Woodson
Assets: He has very quick feet and is the classic overachiever.
What was most impressive at camp: Plain and simple, Randall Carroll said he was the toughest corner he went against. That is saying a lot since Carroll is one of the fastest high school football players in the nation.
Areas for improvement: Rios is slight in stature and will need to add some strength and body mass for the next level.
On the Hoof: His height is right at that cutoff that college coaches like. His upper and lower bodies are very proportionate, he just needs to add about 15 pounds.
5-7, 155, CB Ann Arbor (MI) Pioneer 2010
Assets: Coach Williams thought he had the quickest feet of the group. He is also a gritty competitor.
What was most impressive at camp: Even though he may have been the smallest defensive back, he was physical at the line of scrimmage and never gave up on a play.
Areas for improvement: Needs to add strength and at least 15 pounds of good body mass.
On the Hoof: He looks to be about the size of Florida star return man Brandon James.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Iranian weapons unaccountably just keep turning up in Iraq:
The U.S. military says it has found caches of newly made Iranian weapons in Iraq, leading senior officials to conclude Tehran is continuing to funnel armaments into Iraq despite its pledges to the contrary.
Officials in Washington and Baghdad said the purported Iranian mortars, rockets and explosives had date stamps indicating they were manufactured in the past two months. The U.S. plans to publicize the weapons caches in coming days. A pair of senior commanders said a presentation was tentatively planned for Monday.
One of these days we will undoubtedly do something about Iran's thirty years' war against the United States. Public acknowledgement of the war is a necessary first step, but Iran's intentions are obscure only to the willfully obtuse.

Mass. lawmakers return to debate state budget
BOSTON (AP) — The Massachusetts House is weighing a $33.8 billion state budget proposal for the fiscal year starting July 1.
The debate that began on Monday is expected to last several days, with nearly 900 amendments to consider.
The budget approved by the House Ways and Means Committee would increase spending by nearly 4 percent over current year levels. Gov. Deval Patrick had sought a nearly 7 percent spending increase, and had proposed nearly $2 billion in new taxes for transportation and education.
The Legislature earlier approved a transportation financing plan that calls for hikes in gasoline and cigarette taxes.
Among the amendments defeated during Monday's debate included a Republican plan to roll back income and sales taxes to 5 percent, and a proposal to cap the state's film industry tax credit at $40 million.

WHAT'S NEW (Latest Forum Posts)
Hi everyone! I'm wondering what all of your opinions are on this...
I have 2 mini-rexes that ARE NOT friends, so they both live in seperate rooms. They both have free range of their own room and are allowed to run in 2 seperate other areas when my husband or I are home. Dizzie "lives" in one of my spare bedrooms and Cupcake "lives" in the livingroom. When I get home from work, I let Dizzie run in the upstairs area and Cupcake gets to run in the basement. Both are so happy and zoom and binky up a storm! What I feel guilty about is, sometimes I work late (til between 7 or 9pm) or have errands to run after work and my husband works 2 jobs, so works late too. being Do you guys think my bunns are ok being "locked up" all day and into the night sometimes? Dizzie's room is about 6 feet by 9 feet. She has a bunny safe mat on the floor so she can hop easily, tons of toys, 2 litter boxes, a cage to play in, a box house to play in and 2 hidey cubes. She has a ton of hay and 3 water bottles, plus her food. Cupcake is queen of the living room and likes to stay on my area rug. Her space is about the same size as Dizzie's room. Cupcake has tons of toys, a hidey box, a litter box, tons of hay and her food. She also loves to hang out under our coffee table (thats why i dont have as many boxes and such for her to play in.) One of us always makes sure to stop home at home at some point during the day to check on them and make sure they have food, water and hay. They both seem really happy in their rooms, but are totally anxious to get out when i arrive home. (i put up gates in Dizzie's doorway so she cant get out. Cupcake wont leave the rug...she HATES our hardwood floor and wont set foot on it )
Should I feel guilty??
Dizzie doesn't destroy her room at all. Part of "her" room is my scrapbooking room, which I have blocked off with shelves and her cage. When she goes in that part with me, she likes to rip paper and climb all over everything, but I'm there to supervise, so it's not that bad. Other than that, she only thing I can say she has "destroyed" is, she likes to bite the plastic coating off of the metal wires that make up her gates. I find cute little piles of plastic when I come home. I make sure she has a lot of toys because she is young and is a busy body. Cupcake lives in the living room. There is hardwood floors in there (which she hates and wont set foot on) so i have a big area rug down. I had to cover part of the rug with a strip of old carpet because she pulls at my rug (and ultimately ruined it). I dont know what she has against my rug, but she doesnt bother to rip apart the strip of carpet, or the carpet I put down in her pen area.
Do you let your bunn out when you get home? Maybe try testing him/her out in a "bunn proof" area when you leave and then gradually get bigger once you know you can trust her. I used to keep both of mine locked up when I was gone, but trough trial and error, I found ways that they can run and be out.

10 Reasons why Michigan Tech's Gardens are Awesome
By Travis Gendron | Published
Of all the things Michigan Tech is known for, you might be surprised to know that incredible gardens top the list. Sprinting across campus to make your next class can make it easy to miss the beautiful campus landscaping. For those who don't have time to stop and smell the roses, we rounded up some photos that answer the question: "What makes Michigan Tech's gardens so awesome?"
1. They welcome visitors.
When visitors arrive to tour campus, they expect to see labs, residence halls—even snow. But during the summer months, visitors are greeted by a lush, colorful garden just outside the admissions office and campus visitor center. Nothing says, "Welcome to campus" quite like a blooming Butterfly Bush (yes, it's a real thing).
2. They make walking to class more pleasant.
Not looking forward to that lecture in Dow? Take a moment before class to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, day lilies. The garden just outside of Dow's front doors is vibrant and colorful—a virtual rainbow leading to a pot of knowledge.
3. They sustain us—literally.
If you dig the idea of fresh, organic veggies on your dining hall plate, you'll want to pop by Michigan Tech's newest garden and give thanks. Comprised of a small, sustainable patch in the Wadsworth Hall courtyard, it's bursting with bok choy, cauliflower, pumpkins, radishes, fresh herbs, and seven varieties of tomatoes. Unlimited free smells, but no snacking allowed (until harvest, that is.)
4. Loretta's Garden.
Loretta was an early student gardener, and her garden has expanded a lot over the past few years. A newer addition, tiger lilies add a zest of fierce orange to the greenery.
5. You can visit a boulder garden.
You might ask: What's so great about boulders? We say: plenty! They tell you about geology and make great places to sit and read a book or study in the sunshine. Plus, you don't have to remember to water them.
6. They talk.
Ok, maybe they don't exactly talk. But each plant in this garden means something in the "language of flowers." Walking around the garden, you can read signs that describe the symbolic meaning of each plant. As if the imperial honey locust in the middle wasn't enough of a reason to love this garden, it's dedicated as a memorial to the students and faculty who died while attending Michigan Tech.
7. This.
As if the striking glass panes of the Rozsa lobby aren't beautiful enough, there's an expansive garden in front of them. No wonder the giant butterfly mural on the window looks eager to fly around in it.
8. You can visit a second boulder garden.
It might be smaller than the other boulder garden on campus, but it's just as cool. This garden boasts samples that are almost three billion years old. It's like stepping into the past right on campus.
9. This view exists on campus.
Next time you're rushing into the MUB for a quick lunch, take a moment to appreciate the golden glow of the climbing roses, golden elderberry, and sunkist arborvitae.
10. People like these.
You can't have incredible gardens without awesome people to maintain them. So, if you see a member of the gardening team around campus, remember to say thank you! Students like Alex Klosek (right) and Scott Hoch (left) work alongside University gardener Lynn Watson to develop the campus landscape for all to enjoy.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A pilot who made a safe emergency landing on a major Anchorage street said he lost power, waited for a break in traffic, then descended onto the snowy median.
Armon Tabrizi said he was not immediately sure where to land before deciding to put the Cessna 172RG Cutlass down in the middle of Boniface Parkway Tuesday afternoon, the Anchorage Daily News (http://is.gd/ZctL6G ) reported. Tabrizi, 27, avoided cars and stoplights, and no one in the plane or on the ground was injured.
Meredith Hazen was driving on the four-lane street when the plane came down.
"I could see the left wing hit the ground, and the second car in front of me, I think, hit his brakes really hard," she said. "He went up on the snow and the barrier, because he didn't want to hit the wing."
Two other people were with Tabrizi in the plane, which is owned by Land and Sea Aviation, a flight school based at the city's Merrill Field. The incident is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration.
"I can't talk too much about the investigation that's going on," Tabrizi said. "I'm just glad everybody is fine and stuff, and we'll see what happens."
The plane was on a routine maintenance flight, according to Ben Kinney, a flight instructor and operations supervisor for the company. He said the plane had not had any recent problems or gone through significant mechanical work.
Kinney said he couldn't speculate on what could've gone wrong.
Tabrizi, who also is a flight instructor, said the plane had "significant issues" as it was heading south after departing from Merrill Field. Passenger Arthur Racicot, a Land and Sea Aviation mechanic, and the other passenger, another pilot, remained calm.
"The engine never quit," Tabrizi said. "But we lost enough power and we were unable to maintain flight."
The three men on board discussed landing at Campbell Airstrip, but worried the plane would hit trees. Tabrizi said he also considered landing at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
He landed instead on the median after seeing a break in traffic.

Here is the newly re-designed start button off the old one I did. It is fixed so you can use whatever background for the panel you want. I hope you enjoy. I will be creating a whole theme around this. Next step is KDM, then a splash screen. A long list ahead that I will do in my spare time. This button is for use with my theme elements called SABUNK.
Download the file:
To install:
Code: Select all
Overwrite the files in
If you want to revert back to the old ones be sure to backup the existing ones.
Also you will need to adjust your kicker panel for custom size @ 48 px.
Also for those you who do not know, you will have to refresh the kicker panel. I can't remember the command line for it. BUT, to do so right-click your start-button and choose "Switch to KDE menu style" then after it switches do the same and switch back to the SUSE.

The pace of investment sales among North Jersey office buildings has slowed in the past year, thanks in part to local job growth that's causing owners to think twice about selling their assets, according to research by Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services.
Listings have become limited over the past 12 months, causing sales velocity to fall about 7 percent in the six-county region tracked by the brokerage firm. The decline comes as the median price for office building trades rose 47 percent during the period.
Researchers noted velocity picked up late last year ahead of the increase in the federal tax on capital gains, but said trading may have fallen off because owners now seek to benefit from business growth in North Jersey — about 5,160 office-using jobs were created in the six counties during the past 12 months. That's a 1.1 percent increase year over year, though total employment is still below the pre-recession peak.
Marcus & Millichap, which has offices in Elmwood Park, also predicted office-using employment in the region would rise by 12,000 jobs. Still, vacancy among class A buildings rose 1.6 percent, to 22.5 percent, in the past year, while class B and C vacancy ticked up slightly, to 17.8 percent.
The brokerage firm's report covers Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, Essex, Morris and Union counties.
Aside from lower sales velocity in 2013, the area's office market seems to be recording fewer splashy deals than in recent years. Only a handful of trades have grabbed headlines this year in North Jersey, including Hartz Mountain Industries' $56 million sale of a Secaucus building and the April sale of a Morris Township property for $71 million.

BioFuel Resources on Google Maps
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has created a BioFuels Atlas using the Google Maps API. The map shows the locations of biomass resources in the U.S..
Using the map it is possible to view overlays of bioenergy and brownfield sites, distribution infrastructure, and power plants. The 'State View' option allows the user to zoom in on a selected state and view a summary of traditional and bioenergy infrastructure in the state beneath the map.
The map also includes an analysis tool that allows the user to select a point on the map and convert the biomass resources within a specified area into potential biofuel production.

M'Baye Niang has stressed that he is determined to succeed at AC Milan and realises that he will have to change his behaviour off the pitch in order to achieve just that.
The 18-year-old joined Milan from Caen at the start of the 2012-13 campaign, and has since made the headlines for the wrong reasons more than once.
Nevertheless, Niang has developed into a first team regular in the past few months, and he has made it clear that he will do whatever it takes to become a hit at the Rossoneri.
"There's a different mentality here in Italy than back home in France. You have to be more professional here," Niang to Corriere della Sera.
"I have to solely focus on football and be careful what I do off the pitch. Adriano Galliani got angry with me after a few incidents and he helped me realise that I had to change.
"Milan are my big chance and I cannot just throw this away. I have to make the most of this opportunity and become an important player for Milan."
Niang has made eight Serie A appearances so far, but has yet to find the net.

A new mobile operator has launched promising to donate a quarter of its profits to charity.
'The People's Operator' (TPO) will donate 25% of its profits to "great causes", as well as 10% of every customers text and data spend.
Launched on Monday, the new operator is billed as the first socially responsible utility. It will work with European virtual network aggregator Transatel to provide its service via EE's network.
Charities backing the service include the NSPCC and Childline.
Initially offering with Pay As You Go deals, the service claims it is cheaper than many other comparable operators. Pay monthly deals will be "coming soon", it said.
TPO is pitching itself to customers as well as businesses, arguing that by switching to its service companies can take "a unique opportunity to fulfil their CSR commitments".
The charity money collected by TPO will be distributed by its own foundation:
The three founding trustees are:
- Chair Sir Christopher Kelly who is currently the Chair of the Committee on Standards in Public Life and Chair of the King's Fund
- Kevin Curley CBE the former Chief Executive of NAVCA (National Association for Voluntary and Community Action), trustee of CFG (Charity Finance Group) and a member of the advisory council of the NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organisations)
- Andrew Rosenfeld former Chair of the NSPCC FULL STOP Campaign.
Andrew Rosenfeld, Chair and Co-founder of TPO said in a statement:
"The People's Operator represents a fundamental shift in the way commercial utilities support communities and causes. The more profit that is generated, the more we can pass on to deserving parts of society."
CEO Alex Franks said:
"Eight months ago two friends approached me with an idea they had been working on. It was a simple idea; they wanted to make people's lives a little bit better by setting up a business that worked in a different way.
They wanted to take something that people use every day and make it matter so much more. The idea was The People's Operator - Mobile that matters."

Innovative geospatial intelligence software provider delivers solutions to enhance discovery, analysis, integration and collaboration
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 11, 2012 -- Frost & Sullivan has named TerraGo Technologies a notable market participant in its recently released "Analysis of the U.S. Defense Geospatial Market" report.
TerraGo® geospatial intelligence software and GeoPDF® maps and imagery are among the most widely adopted solutions to produce, access, update and share geospatial information and applications with anyone, anywhere. Its solutions are deployed in mission-critical roles in the U.S. Dept. of Defense (DoD) and intelligence agencies, international defense partners as well as governments and businesses worldwide. TerraGo is a privately held In-Q-Tel portfolio company.
"TerraGo exemplifies the innovation that smaller, more agile companies can provide to defense customers and partners," said John Hernandez, Frost & Sullivan Aerospace and Defense senior industry analyst. "The acquisition in July of Geosemble Technologies and its GeoXrayTM solution, coupled with new applications such as TerraGo Mobile for Android and TerraGo 3D Composer for Adobe Acrobat are further evidence of the company's ability to deliver advanced geospatial technologies."
"As a proven geospatial provider to the defense and intelligence market, TerraGo is honored to support the warfighter mission," said Rick Cobb, TerraGo president and CEO. "We look forward to continuing our close association with our customers and partners and to developing innovative solutions that facilitate geospatial intelligence discovery, analysis, integration and collaboration."
In 2012, the U.S. Army Geospatial Center (AGC) and TerraGo developed eIndex Server, a browser-based application to deliver on-demand maps and imagery from the AGC's extensive library of geospatial resources. Leveraging the same technology platform, TerraGo also delivered to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) an on-demand geospatial data integration solution to automatically integrate and update data from disparate, dynamic sources and produce multi-layer map books for crisis managers and incident responders in support of its Wide Area Recovery & Resiliency Program (WARRP), which is administered by the U.S. Army.
For the Distributed Common Ground System – Army (DCGS-A), the U.S. Army also has purchased TerraGo software to produce, access, update and share geospatial information and applications in support of warfighter efforts around the world. Under DCGS-A, the Army's premier intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) enterprise for the tasking of sensors, analysis and processing of data, exploitation of data, Army personnel will leverage TerraGo Publisher® for ArcGIS® to produce TerraGo GeoPDF maps and imagery and TerraGo Composer® for Adobe® Acrobat® to quickly compile thousands of GeoPDF maps into intelligent, portable, interactive and dynamic digital map books.
In addition, TerraGo Toolbar® is available enterprise-wide in other branches of the U.S. DoD to empower warfighters to use virtually any computer to access 2D and 3D GeoPDF maps and imagery. Warfighters using TerraGo Toolbar also may easily make and share geo-referenced updates using notes, audio, video, Web services or other information in connected or offline environments.
TerraGo partners BAE Systems, GeoEye, Intergraph, Overwatch and Skyline also have incorporated TerraGo GeoPDF production capability into solutions for their defense and intelligence customers.
TerraGo is headquartered in Atlanta. In addition, the company has an office in Washington, D.C. dedicated to its federal customers, a Manhattan Beach, CA office to accommodate additional engineering staff as well as support resources to serve TerraGo's growing West Coast customer base and an office in the United Kingdom to serve customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

As the Michael Vick story continues to unfold, we've heard opinions from just about everyone.
Columnists, ex-players, coaches, politicians -- each trying to take a stance and offer a different spin on the situation.
But as we all know, few can offer a "different spin" like former Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham.
Cunningham joined ESPN 950's Mike Missanelli yesterday to discuss Vick's addition. He said we did not create this world, and Vick's redemption is in God's hands. He also praised Jeffrey Lurie for carefully considering the move before making a decision.
"Am I for it? I'm happy that people get a second, third, fourth, fifth chance regardless to what they've done," Cunningham said. "The man [Vick] has gone, basically completely broke. He's done everything he could to reconcile himself to what he had done. There have been people who have murdered people and got a second chance."
Missanelli asked Cunningham if people who are not willing to forgive Vick are less Christian. Cunningham said he wouldn't go that far.
"I just think that people as a people, we're opinionated," he said. "We want our opinion to mean something, but if we put ourselves in the same predicament as other people, people would say Jeffrey Dahmer deserved the electric chair or whatever, and God would say, 'As long as you give me your life, I'll give you a chance to have eternal life with me.' Thank God we're not God because we would mess this world up."
That last line drew a chuckle from Missanelli, and likely 99 percent of the people who were listening.
Cunningham also discussed Vick's ability on the field, saying he fully expected the new Eagle to retain his skills despite being away from the game for more than two years. He went as far as saying Vick could play 15, 16 or 17 years in the NFL and be successful.
"I'm in the gym right now, and I can bench-press just as much as I did in the pros," Cunningham said. "I can run and throw the ball. My arm has not changed at all. Now whether I could take all of those hits, that's a whole other story. I don't think I could take the hits."
And finally, he talked about the question that will not go away. How will Vick's addition impact Donovan McNabb?
"Donovan is one of the most patient, long-suffering, consistent and committed players that I've ever played with," Cunningham said. "I never second-guess him, ever worried about anything. I think the team knows this is not about Michael Vick coming in and trying to take Donovan McNabb's position. This is about making the team better."
So there you have it. Like I said, always a different spin with Randall. No one can argue differently.
I'll be back later telling you why we care about tonight's Eagles-Colts game. And join me for a live chat at 8 p.m. for updates and commentary on the action.
