CHICAGO (AP) — A 33-year-old Chicago man is accused of biting two men in a seemingly random attack as the Arctic Monkeys performed at Lollapalooza earlier this month.
Cook County State's Attorney's Office spokesman Steve Campbell says Sergio Vicenteno is charged with aggravated battery in the Aug. 1 attack in Chicago. He has not entered a plea.
Vicenteno's attorney, Michael Gillespie, told The Associated Press Friday that the construction worker did not attack the other men but defended himself.
Prosecutors say Vicenteno bit one man's shin. When Ben Lenet, a friend of the man who was attacked, intervened Vicenteno bit Lenet's arm and drew blood.
The 29-year-old Lenet says another friend kicked the attacker, who then calmly walked away.
Lenet says he is taking antibiotics and has been tested for hepatitis and HIV.

FSU Rivals100 commit sets UF official visit
With 19 public commitments to date, Florida has very few remaining slots available in the Class of 2013. With so little room left, the Gators are in an enviable position of being able to cherry pick among the targets remaining on the board.
This past Saturday the Gators hosted one of the top lineman in the nation for their 14-6 win over LSU when Madison (Fla.) Madison County four-star offensive guard Ira Denson made the trip down to Gainesville.
Though he is committed to Florida's arch rival Florida State, Denson said he enjoyed his time at the game.
"It was good," stated Denson. "It was a great atmosphere at the game. The offense looked good. They passed it a lot in the beginning and then at the end they ran the ball a lot and wore down LSU. I didn't really know what to expect because I haven't really watched the way they (the Gators) play, so I really didn't have an idea what to look for, but they did good."
Since competing against each other at camps over the summer, the Rivals100 member has gotten close with Florida defensive line commit Caleb Brantley. Denson said that Brantley tries to sell him on the Orange and Blue.
"He's trying to get me there at Florida. Me Caleb and Nick Washington talk about how we play for our high schools and teams and stuff like that. At first I talked to Caleb about Florida State but he said they are too deep at the defense line and they have D lineman forever, so he wants to go somewhere he's going to play."
The Florida State commit stated that he is still very much solid to Florida State. One factor is that the Gators have yet to offer the 6-foot-4, 317-pound guard.
However, he said there have been talks about it.
"I don't know if they're going to do it yet, I have to call [offensive line] Coach [Tim] Davis today [Sunday]," explained Denson. "I talked to Coach Davis last night and he told me to give him a call. Nothing has changed with Florida State even though a lot of people have been calling me to talk about the loss [to NC State], but I am still solid with Florida State."
Denson said that he will be back again in Gainesville for another game, but the next time will be an official visit for the South Carolina game. He also noted his only other official visit planned is in Tallahassee when Florida State hosts Florida.

In the late 1870s, a middle-aged farmer from Richmond, Minnesota, Samuel Crouch, married a woman eleven years his junior and asked her to relocate to the northern plains. Possessed of some solid self-confidence, Rebecca left behind her family a friends and set out to make a life for herself, adjusting to her new role as step-mother and community member, as well as the familiar role of family member at a distance.
The Crouch Papers includes approximately 225 letters offering insight into life in Minnesota during the late 1870s and early 1880s, and into the domestic and social life of a woman entering into a new marriage with an older man. Rebecca's letters are consumed with the ebb and flow of daily life, her interactions with other residents of the community at church or in town, the weather, and chores from cooking to cleaning, farming, gardening, writing, going to town, or rearranging furniture.

Sweet syndrome is a rare skin disorder characterized by fever, inflammation of the joints (arthritis), and the sudden onset of a rash. The rash consists of bluish-red, tender papules that usually occur on the arms, legs, face or neck, most often on one side of the body (asymmetric). In approximately 80 percent of cases, Sweet syndrome occurs by itself for no known reason (idiopathic). In 10 to 20 percent of cases, the disorder is associated with an underlying malignancy, usually a hematologic malignancy such as certain types of leukemia. The exact cause of Sweet syndrome is unknown.

It's not quite as disturbing as, say, "Midnight Cowboy" Underoos or "Deliverance" trail mix, but there was a backlash in 1979 when Kenner made a fun plastic toy based on "Alien," a movie that certainly earned its R rating.
I wonder if those kids ever made it out of the kitchen…
The 18-inch toy didn't last long on shelves, according to Jay West, a world-class collector of "Alien" (and our "super-fan"contributor covering the alternate-reality game for "Tron: Legacy") — the outrage of parent activist groups sent the plastic creature into retail exile, which, as you might suspect, makes the toy even more coveted by today's collectors.
Anybody who brings one of these to our "Alien" screening on Sunday gets a free poster of Darwyn Cooke's amazing illustration for the Hero Complex Film Festival.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) — It was 9 a.m. on May 25, 1998. Borboh Jeff Kamara, 14, was walking to school with classmates when rebels grabbed him, held him down and cut off his fingers, leaving only his thumbs.
Fourteen years later, he and other voters go to the polls Saturday to choose a leader they hope will assure continued peace and finally bring some measure of prosperity to this war-ravaged country that remains among the world's poorest.
"Life is very, very rough. Poverty is always at our door," Kamara says. "That's my prayer each day: God help me to survive and make a good future for my children."
After his horrible run-in with the rebels in 1998, Kamara survived for days without medical attention in the jungles of northern Sierra Leone. After years of rehabilitation, he learned to write again and became the most educated member of his family.
Now the married father of two young children works as a receptionist in the capital, but many of those wounded during Sierra Leone's 1991-2002 civil war have not been as successful.
Saturday's vote — the country's third presidential election since the end of the war — hinges on whether incumbent President Ernest Bai Koroma or one of his eight challengers can best uplift this West African country trying to shed its past and benefit from its diamond riches.
Sierra Leoneans rallied for peace on Friday in downtown Freetown, where political campaigning had ended the day before. While the campaign season has been mostly calm, it has only been a decade since the war ended.
The government has deployed military to maintain peace during the vote, and armed personnel, some with pointed guns at the ready, can be seen manning certain strategic areas and driving in police vehicles around the capital.
National election officials are spreading that message through posters on tin shacks and at traffic circles throughout the capital: "The world is watching us. Let us don't disappoint them."
Another poster reminds voters: "You have only one Sierra Leone — hold her like an egg."
Today, most of the country's nearly 6 million people live on less than $1.25 a day, according to the World Bank, and it remains among the deadliest places in the world for women to give birth.
An estimated 2,000 people suffered amputations or were seriously maimed during the war by rebels who conscripted child soldiers, a conflict depicted in the film "Blood Diamond." Many survivors face discrimination and few job prospects, and must resort to begging on the streets of the capital.
The incumbent president is pointing to his accomplishments during his first term, promising in his campaign signs that "I Will Do More." It's unclear, though, whether the leader of the All Peoples Congress (APC) party can garner the 55 percent of ballots needed to avert a runoff.
He faces eight opponents including leading opposition figure Julius Maada Bio, a retired brigadier general from the Sierra Leone People's Party, or SLPP. He calls himself the "father of democracy" after his brief three-month tenure at the country's helm in 1996.
Among the smaller party candidates is Joshua Carew, who spent nearly four decades in the American state of Iowa before deciding to make a run for national office in his native Sierra Leone.
Koroma was elected in 2007 on a ticket of change, and says he has visibly improved the country's quality of life. His supporters point to newly paved roads and a government health care reform program that has provided free medical treatment although there are serious concerns about its sustainability.
"There are those who in spite of the progress we are experiencing continue to preach sermons of doom," he said. "I am asking to be elected again so that I can scale up the gains we have made in just five years and bring prosperity to all Sierra Leoneans."
In addition to its diamond riches, Sierrra Leone also has had three offshore oil discoveries between 2009 and 2012 though the government says appraisals are still under way to determine their viability. Koroma said that "the prospects for Sierra Leone becoming an oil-exporting nation are very great," and is pledging that the country will develop its resources in a sustainable way that benefits the impoverished country's citizens.
But Bio and his supporters maintain the president has failed to deliver and does not deserve a second term.
"This is not a classroom when you are allowed to repeat after you have failed," he told reporters. "Today the economy of the country is in bad shape. The plight of our youths is very serious and it is not only a developmental issue but a security threat."
While Sierra Leone's economic growth has been good, analyst Tom Cargill says "youth unemployment and corruption remain dangerously high."
"The real issues facing Sierra Leone, particularly around youth unemployment, simply don't really appear to be being discussed in the way they should be if Sierra Leone is to escape its legacy of conflict," said Cargill, assistant head of the Africa program at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London.
Observers say the upcoming election will mark a critical test.
"Peaceful elections resulting in a credible outcome are critical for consolidating Sierra Leone's hard-won peace and for demonstrating that the tremendous progress the country has made since the end of the hostilities one decade ago is irreversible," said United Nations spokesman Martin Nesirky.
The run up to Saturday's vote has been mostly peaceful, though the two main candidates squared off last month when Bio was accused of obstructing the president's convoy.
The main opposition party's final political rally went ahead peacefully Thursday, with large boisterous crowds dressed in the party's color of green flocking to the streets of Freetown. Many carried palm leaves, the symbol of the Sierra Leone Peoples Party. On Friday morning, others marched through the capital as part of a peace march aimed at ensuring a successful vote.
Koroma is expected to draw strong support in the north and in the capital, though he also appears to be making some inroads in traditional opposition strongholds.
Near the provincial capital of Bo, Augustine Pujah, 23, sported a red T-shirt emblazoned with the president's image. The young man dreams of studying science at a university and leaving his small community of Bevehun. For the time being, though, he and his friends make small change alongside the highway by selling palm wine in a yellow plastic jug.
"It's all about development," he says. "The president who comes to our aid is our leader."
Associated Press writer Clarence Roy-Macaulay contributed to this report.

College Hockey: UNH falls behind, can't come all the way backBy ALEX HALL
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 11. 2017 12:39AM
DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire men's hockey team showed fire early and late in its game with Merrimack College Sunday at the Whittemore Center.
Merrimack owned the middle stages, though, and earned a 4-3 road victory.
The Warriors (4-9-3, 2-6-1 Hockey East) gave up the game's first goal in the opening minute but responded by scoring the next four. No. 13 UNH closed the gap to one goal with two tallies over the first 3:50 of the third period and had some opportunities to tie, but couldn't get the equalizer.
"There's definitely a compete level there but it's not a good formula for winning hockey games — falling behind," UNH coach Dick Umile said.
The Warriors were winless in their past six Hockey East games entering Sunday's contest.
Senior center Michael McNicholas scored from the doorstep just 34 seconds into the contest to give the Wildcats (9-7-1, 4-5-1 Hockey East) a 1-0 advantage.
McNicholas' tally hardly rattled the Warriors, who scored three times on their first eight shots on goal to take a 3-1 lead into the first intermission.
"We might have got too happy there too quick or something, I don't know," McNicholas said. "After that goal, it seemed like we kind of shut down a little bit, let (Merrimack) get some good scoring opportunities, which they capitalized on early, and at that point it was hard to dig ourselves out."
Merrimack chased UNH senior goaltender Danny Tirone at the 6:43 mark of the second period following Tyler Irvine's rebound goal in front that made it 4-1 Warriors.
Umile pulled Tirone (sevens saves) in favor of Mike Robinson, a freshman from Bedford. It marked the third time this season Tirone was relieved during a game. Robinson, in his second career appearance and first at the Whittemore Center, logged 12 saves over 32:17 in net.
Warriors junior Derek Petti tied the game at 1-1 at the 6:57 mark of the first period when he shot around Tirone for his second goal of the season. Sami Tavernier broke the deadlock less than two minutes later. The Merrimack sophomore right wing skated around a Wildcats defenseman and beat Tirone with a backhanded shot that went through the goaltender's legs.
Alfred Larsson's first goal of the season built a 3-1 Warriors advantage with 3:24 left in the opening period.
Merrimack became the second team in as many days to find the back of the net often over its first several shots on goal. Army West Point scored three times on its first nine shots on goal en route to a 4-3 road win over the Wildcats on Saturday night.
"Obviously it wasn't a very good weekend," Umile said. "As I told the team in the locker room, you can't win hockey games getting in the hole two, three goals and we did it again here tonight."
Marcus Vela's goal from the crease and Patrick Grasso's power-play tally over the first 3:50 of the third period cut Merrimack's lead to 4-3. The 'Cats could not capitalize on their other two power plays and had to kill off two penalties over the remainder of the third period. Vela hit the post with 6:43 left.
UNH mustered five shots on goal over its six power-play opportunities and killed off each of the four penalties it took.
Craig Pantano made 25 saves for the Warriors.
"I thought we battled hard in the third (period)," McNicholas said. "We didn't come out as hard in the first two and I think that's what kind of shot us in the foot...That one stings a little bit just because that's two big points in Hockey East that we know we should've had."
UNH plays next on Friday, Dec. 29 against Dartmouth College in the Big Green's Ledyard Bank Classic.

Utilities Facing a New Probe
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has opened an investigation into the Long Island Power Authority and Consolidated Edison Inc. over the utilities' preparedness and response to superstorm Sandy, according to a person familiar with the inquiries.
Mr. Schneiderman's office subpoenaed both utilities on Wednesday, requesting details about their emergency plans and their handling of last month's ferocious storm that knocked out power to millions of New Yorkers, the person said.
The attorney general's scrutiny of New York's largest suppliers of electricity comes amid widespread public anger over the prolonged power failures that followed the storm.
Mr. Schneiderman's office issued the subpoenas a day after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo formed a special state commission to conduct a "thorough review" of LIPA and other utility companies and possibly recommend large-scale changes to the way power is delivered in the state.
LIPA, whose network is operated under contract by National Grid, has come under particularly intense scrutiny since Sandy hit the area on Oct. 29.
The state government-owned utility has been inundated by complaints of communication and logistical failures, hobbled by many of the same problems it faced after Tropical Storm Irene last year. LIPA's acting chief executive, Michael Hervey, resigned on Tuesday effective at the end of the year. As governor, Mr. Cuomo has thus far left LIPA's board intact, while shaking up the leadership of other public authorities.
Sandy wiped out power to close to one million of LIPA's 1.1 million customers—leaving parts of many villages on Long Island in the dark for nearly two weeks. More than a quarter of Con Edison's customers lost power, including most of Manhattan below 39th Street for several days when a single substation broke down because of flooding.
It's not clear what legal case Mr. Schneiderman could build against the utilities.
Mr. Schneiderman's office could look into whether LIPA violated its enabling statute under the state Public Authorities Law. The law requires that LIPA assure its customers of a reliable and adequate supply of electricity.
The office also may review assertions that LIPA made to bondholders in disclosure statements, including a statement in June that it had adopted storm response procedures "designed to restore service expeditiously."
On Monday, the bond-rating agency Fitch downgraded the utility's outlook to negative from stable. But LIPA's bonds are still selling briskly, according to Matt Fabian, managing director of Municipal Market Advisors.
Mr. Cuomo put two well-known attorneys allied with the governor in charge of his probe: Benjamin Lawsky, his superintendent of the Department of Financial Services, and Robert Abrams, a former New York attorney general who ran Mr. Cuomo's transition team in 2006 when the latter was elected attorney general.
The attorney general's office could look into whether Con Edison, a publicly traded company, violated the Public Service Law, which requires investor-owned utilities to "furnish and provide such service, instrumentalities and facilities as shall be safe and adequate."
"We look forward to reviewing the company's storm preparations and response and are cooperating with the attorney general's request," said Con Edison spokesman Chris Olert.
A government probe of power companies is unusual, experts said, with class-action litigation the more common outcome in the wake of widespread blackouts. Former New York Attorney General Eliot Sptizer launched a probe of Con Edison in 1999 after a summertime blackout in northern Manhattan, but didn't pursue criminal or civil charges.
Mr. Schneiderman's investigation, which, a person familiar with the inquiry said, began on Nov. 5, could have more teeth, opening the door to possible civil or criminal charges.
Under the state's Moreland Act, Mr. Cuomo's commission can take testimony and issue reports.
But unlike the attorney general's office, the special panel doesn't have the authority to prosecute lawbreakers. It can refer cases of potentially criminal conduct to the attorney general or a district attorney.
Most utilities in the region have restored power to nearly all those who reside outside of flood zones. As of Tuesday, more than 50,000 Con Edison and LIPA customers were still without power, including much of the population of the Rockaways, either because the homes or office buildings suffered severe flood damage or hadn't yet gotten a go-ahead from an inspector to reconnect to the grid.

Tithing After the Cross
August 22, 2014
How much money should you give to your church? A tithe? How much is that? Is that only an Old Testament concept? Does it apply to the church of the New Testament?
Those are just some of the questions that often cross the minds of believers when it comes to what goes into the offering plate on Sunday.
Dr. David Croteau, professor of New Testament and Greek at Columbia International University recently tackled those questions on the national radio program "The Janet Mefferd Show" on the Salem Radio Network. Croteau has written the book, "Tithing After the Cross."
Listen to Croteau on "The Janet Mefford Show."
"Tithing After the Cross" is published by Areopagus.

Pumpkin-pie flavored doughnuts. Fried sweet potato pancakes with cranberry relish. Menorahs shaped like turkeys.
Social media sites are abuzz with all-things "Thanksgivukkah." That's the term given to the extremely rare convergence of Thanksgiving with Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish Festival of Lights, on Nov. 28.
Enchanted with the culinary and cultural possibilities of this hybrid holiday, many American Jews in the Southland are gobbling up the phenomena.
"I'm not surprised there's national media attention or that it would be an important pop cultural moment," said Dana Gitell, 37, a marketing professional from the Boston area who claims credit for coining the term a year ago. "But I am shocked by the level of interest, the amount of media attention and the excitement as early (as this) in the season."
Gitell teamed up with her sister-in-law Deborah Gitell of Hollywood, also a marketing professional, to create the popular Thanksgivukkah Facebook page last year. Deborah Gitell is also co-producing a Thanksgivukkah Festival in Los Angeles on Nov. 29 with Jewish singer/songwriter Craig Taubman, who founded Pico Union Project. The festival will be held at the nonprofit group's new multi-faith and multi-cultural center in the predominantly Latino and immigrant Pico-Union district downtown.
"I thought if this is something that will never happen again (in our lifetimes), why don't we light the (Hanukkah) candles and have a community celebration with Jews and Koreans and Latinos?" Deborah Gitell said. "This is an ultimate American mash-up holiday. I think that's why people are so excited."
When exactly this convergence will happen again is subject to some interpretation.
According to a calculation by physicist Jonathan Mizrahi, who works at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, the precise intersection of Thanksgiving Day with the first day of Hanukkah, determined by a Jewish calendar that is primarily based on lunar cycles, happened last in 1888 but may not happen again in more than 77,000 years. That's because, first, the date of Thanksgiving was adjusted to the fourth Thursday of November by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942; and, primarily, because the Jewish calendar is gradually moving forward and getting out of sync with the Gregorian calendar at a rate of four days per 1,000 years; if it is never adjusted the two holidays would only meet up again when the Jewish calendar essentially laps the Gregorian in 79811.
However, if one looks at the intersection of Hanukkah eve (Jewish calendar days traditionally start at night) and Thanksgiving night, the last convergence was in 1918 and the next one will be in 2070, according to the Jewish organization Chabad.
In any case, the organizers of the Thanksgivukkah Festival plan to offer turkey-shaped piñatas filled with Hanukkah gelt or chocolate coins, latke (potato pancake) making opportunities with the help of a bicycle-powered blender and holiday-themed games and activities. The Kosher Palate food truck will be selling its fried sweet-potato latkes with cranberry relish and marshmallow fluff, roasted garlic latkes with shaved maple glazed turkey and gravy, fried doughnuts called sufganiyot with seasonally flavored fillings and apple pie spiced fritters, said Michele Grant, the company's founder, CEO and executive chef.
It is customary to eat fried foods to recall the miracle of Hanukkah, in which according to tradition, a cruse of oil that was found in the ancient Second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem unexpectedly lasted for eight days.
The Thanksgivvukah Festival, for which organizers are still looking for donors on the crowdfunding site Jewcer.com, will be a success "when people look at the value of investing in the community…and in so doing, they are going to grow themselves," said Taubman, who lives in Studio City. Up to 500 free tickets will be distributed through area community organizations such as the Pico Union Neighborhood Council in advance to make the event, which will cost $5 a person, more accessible to its neighbors.
While Hanukkah is most often compared to Christmas because they usually fall close together, the Festival of Lights actually has more parallels with Thanksgiving, Deborah Gitell said. The Pilgrims left England to escape religious persecution while Hanukkah highlights the struggle Jews faced after Syrian-Greek soldiers seized the Temple and made the observance of Judaism punishable by death.
"Both stories are about the right to practice one's religion and be free," she said. "That's something to really rally around."
In the spirit of clever commercialism, Thanksgivukkah products already are being sold. Nine-year-old Asher Weintraub of New York City conceived, designed and named the turkey-shaped menorah called the "Menurkey," raised more than $45,000 in funds through a Kickstarter.com campaign and is now selling his creation online and at the Jewish Museum in New York. Dana Gitell, who trademarked the Thanksgivukkah name for apparel and greeting cards, tapped Los Angeles artist Kim DeMarco, who has illustrated covers for The New Yorker, to design Thanksgivukkah images for the marketing of the hybrid holiday. The Massachusetts mom approached the Judaica retailer ModernTribe, who used the images to create a line of special Thanksgivukkah products that include Woodstock-inspired T-shirts as well as posters and notecards.
More than a month away from the holiday, more than 1,800 T-shirts — which feature a turkey and a menorah on a guitar — have already been sold, said Jennie Rivlin Roberts, founder and president of ModernTribe.
Several bakeries and restaurants around the Southland are also doing their part to commemorate Thanksgivukkah. Bibi's Cafe and Bakery on Pico Boulevard will offer pumpkin-pie flavored Bavarian creme doughnuts at its bakery as the holiday approaches and at the Thanksgivukkah Festival, said owner Dan Messinger.
From Nov. 22 through Dec. 1, Dog Haus, which has restaurants in Pasadena and Alhambra, will be selling a special "Thanksgivukkah dog," a smoked turkey sausage mixed with bits of whiskey-soaked cranberries and brown sugared sweet potatoes, then topped with tater tots — signifying latkes — and drizzled in apple-raspberry compote.
Adam Gertler, who owns Gertler's Wurst and sells his sausages to Dog Haus, was excited when he was approached by one of the owners of Dog Haus to create a special dish for Thanksgivukkah. Hanukkah seems to get short-shrift, Gertler said, and Thanksgiving is his favorite holiday.
"Hanukkah was the red-headed stepchild to the winter holidays. Hanukkah has always been the Pepsi to Christmas' Coke," said Gertler, who is Jewish. "So by teaming up with Thanksgiving, Hanukkah gets pushed into the spotlight this year.

I've been noticing that when I pump, I get plenty of milk from the left side but hardly any (< 1 oz) from the right. I don't have any indication from DS that supply is significantly less on that side, though I did have mastitis on that side a couple of weeks postpartum.
I will be returning to work in January, when DS is almost four months, and pumping at work. I'm worried that the lack of pump response on that side will affect my supply. My lactation consultant recommended that I pump an extra five minutes on just that side. I've also read about breast compressions and will be trying that as well.
Does anyone have additional advice or suggestions?

Donaldson won't rest on breakout 2013 season
PHOENIX -- Josh Donaldson was a revelation in 2013. His advanced offensive numbers were second at his particular position only to some guy named Miguel Cabrera. Between that performance at the plate and his defense and baserunning skills, Donaldson was an indispensable piece on an American League West-winning A's club known for mixing and matching in the lineup. He finished fourth in the AL MVP Award voting.
So, beyond the fawning words of reporters and the adulation of fans, what did this big-time breakout bring Donaldson here in 2014?
PHOENIX -- Josh Donaldson was a revelation in 2013. His advanced offensive numbers were second at his particular position only to some guy named Miguel Cabrera. Between that performance at the plate and his defense and baserunning skills, Donaldson was an indispensable piece on an American League West-winning A's club known for mixing and matching in the lineup. He finished fourth in the AL MVP Award voting.
So, beyond the fawning words of reporters and the adulation of fans, what did this big-time breakout bring Donaldson here in 2014?
How about a league-minimum salary of $500,000?
Hey, that's not a bad haul, and every pre-arbitration player is subject to the monetary discretion of his employer. So do not weep for Donaldson (or Manny Machado, for that matter).
But Donaldson's price point speaks to the greater truth that pervades as the 28-year-old slugger enters his second full season.
"You have to prove yourself for 162," he said. "You have to prove yourself over time."
Donaldson is the first to admit he has more to prove. He was disappointed with his AL Division Series effort, when the Tigers trotted out Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander and Anibal Sanchez in succession, and he came out with a buck-43 batting average.
More to the point, Donaldson understands that one great season does not a career make.
Certainly, some people will be skeptical about a relatively late-bloomer's ability to repeat the sort of feat Donaldson achieved when he hit .301 with 24 homers, 93 RBIs and a weighted runs created mark 48 percent better than the league average. But it's not as if Donaldson's numbers were positively affected by a slew of unrepeatable inflaters. His was the story of a hard-working converted catcher who seized a long-awaited opportunity, created an early season comfort level with a strong start and then didn't let go.
"Based on what he had accomplished at the end of '12, he came into '13 knowing third base was his position," manager Bob Melvin said. "He's a very gritty player, he comes up big in clutch situations and there's a lot of tenacity to his game. Couple that with an opportunity at a position he was that much more comfortable with, and you see the results."
It's not that Donaldson came out of nowhere. He was a well-regarded bat out of Auburn when the Cubs plucked him in the second round of the 2007 First-Year Player Draft. And as Donaldson's Minor League career progressed, with the Cubs giving up on him quickly and shipping him to Oakland as part of the 2008 Rich Harden trade, you had to look past the iffy parts of his profile to see the power and plate discipline lurking within.
Only in hindsight is it clear that Donaldson was in a better position to tap into his offensive potential by making the permanent shift to the infield, a place he had frequented in his amateur career.
"It was more difficult for me to turn myself into a catcher than it was to turn myself back into an infielder," he said. "Moving from catcher to third base, I'm going to be in the lineup more, so I'm able to ride those good feelings longer. When you're catching, you're not able to play every day. It's more demanding on your body. At third base, I still get dinged up, but not near the extent of when you're catching."
The move came only out of necessity. Two springs ago, Donaldson was struggling to make the A's as Kurt Suzuki's backup behind the dish, and a knee injury to Scott Sizemore prompted a need at the hot corner. That initial opportunity didn't go so well, as Donaldson wound up demoted to Triple-A Sacramento for a significant stretch of the season. But when he returned to the bigs that August, he was a fundamentally more polished player on both sides of the ball, and his output down the stretch helped key the A's rousing rise to the top of the West standings.
What's most interesting -- and encouraging -- about Donaldson's All-Star-caliber acclimation to everyday duties at the Major League level is that telling numbers like walk (11.4 percent) and strikeout rate (16.9) were actually slight improvements upon his Triple-A totals. So Donaldson took an area of strength -- the ability to read the zone -- and applied it to the game's highest level, and that selectivity allowed him to pounce on pitches he could do damage with.
"Early on, when I first got called up [in 2012], I was making an emphasis to try to stay there, and my natural instinct is to swing," he said. "At the end of the season, I started walking more and having success. So going into last year, I was more comfortable with myself at the big league level and didn't feel like I had to impress to stay there. I knew if I did my job, I'd have a job. So I think my more natural approach at the plate came out."
It's only natural that people will want to see Donaldson repeat his 2013 performance before they're ready to cement him as one of the best third basemen in the game. That minimum salary is a reminder that one strong season does not necessarily win you a career's worth of riches.
But Donaldson perfectly represents an A's club loaded with players who have exceeded expectations and become key pieces on a deep and multifaceted contender.
"What we have here is a good bunch of guys who have been undervalued for most of their career and have found success recently," he said. "Guys who are starting to be viewed in a different light."
Donaldson is viewed in a much different light as he enters 2014. And he has plans to prove he's worthy of retaining that glow.

By Julian Linden
OMAHA, Nebraska, June 30 (Reuters) - Michael Phelps
celebrated his 27th birthday on Saturday by setting the fastest
qualifying time in his final heat before the London Olympics.
Showing no sign of fatigue or weariness after his gruelling
schedule, Phelps cruised through the preliminary round of the
100 metres butterfly when he won his heat in 51.80 seconds at
the U.S. Olympic trials.
Phelps has already qualified for London in three individual
events and remains on course to add two more, the 100 butterfly
and the 200 individual medley, which will be decided on Saturday
"I was happy with that, I think it's probably one of my
fastest morning heats ever," he told reporters.
"The biggest thing was to make sure I got in the second
(semi). It gives me an extra three minutes to recover after the
IM and every minute helps."
Colorado teenager Missy Franklin stayed on track to swim
seven events in London after topping the qualifiers in the
women's 200 backstroke.
The 17-year-old stopped the clock at two minutes 08.35
seconds, more than half a second ahead of her closest rival. She
will swim in the 100 freestyle final on Saturday night, which
doubles as a chance to make the 4x100 freestyle relay.
Anthony Ervin, the 31-year-old 2000 Sydney Olympics
champion, outsprinted his younger opponents to post the quickest
time in the 50 freestyle heats at 21.83, while Kate Ziegler was
fastest in the women's 800 freestyle heats in 8:027.61.
Katie Hoff, who won five events at the 2008 U.S. trials but
was unable to win a gold medal in Beijing, failed in her last
chance to make her third Olympics team when she finished 13th
after struggling all week with a virus.
"Obviously I wanted to do better but I gave it my best
shot," Hoff said.
"I'm actually proud of myself for doing it. Somebody told me
my career is about not rolling over in adversity. I don't want
to be that girl."
The 800 heats also marked the end of the brief comeback of
former Olympic champion and world record holder Janet Evans.
The 40-year-old mother of two retired after the 1996 Atlanta
Games but decided to have one last shot at making another
Olympics, although she knew she had little hope, finishing 53rd
in the preliminaries.
"This became more for me than just trying to make the
Olympics," Evans said.
"I could have slept in every day and played with my kids but
this was just about trying something different and I'm so proud
of myself for getting this far.
"But this is definitely it. I just signed my retirement

This is a great question, I'm interested in the answer as well. If I can slightly hijack the question and expand it to radio choice as well. What are the best radios for general amateur satellite work? The IC-910H looks great, but is it overkill for amateur satellites? It seems like a lot of transmit power for most applications. Does you lose anything by going with something like the IC-706MKIIG?

Oil terminals in the New York Harbor are expected to operate through a dock workers strike scheduled for later this week, traders and sources close to port operations said on Thursday.
Normal operations are likely at the terminals since their workers are not organized by the union calling for the walkout, the sources said.
The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) called the strike last week after its contract negotiations broke down with the United States Maritime Alliance Ltd (USMX), which represents the employing shippers and port operators.
In its strike order, the ILA urged workers not to handle container cargoes with the exception of commodities with limited shelf life, mail and military shipments. The order does not cover oil and refined fuel products.
The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service said on Monday that the two parties have agreed to a meeting but did not disclose when that would take place. Should they fail to agree on a contract, the strike will start on Sunday at 14 ports along the U.S. East Coast.
The contract dispute concerns container royalties, payments made to longshoremen that supplement their income. The royalties were first introduced in the 1960s to protect union jobs as cargo handling became automated, according to the ILA.
The New York Harbor energy hub receives up to 1.5 million barrels a day at multiple oil terminals spread over a 125-square-mile area in New York and New Jersey.
On the Gulf Coast, a spokeswoman for the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP), which handles foreign crude oil shipped to Louisiana, said she expects normal operations during the strike.
Representatives of the ILA could not be reached for comment.

First Airbus seats to be auctioned for charity
On eBay, of course
The airline which will operate the first passenger flight of the Airbus A380 super-jumbo jet is to auction the seats online.
Singapore Airlines has announced that all proceeds will go to charity. The places will be offered on everyone's favourite internet jumbleshop, eBay.
"Be a part of history," says the company release. "Bid to be first to fly on the A380."
The inaugural flight of the double-decker plane is planned for October, and will be a return trip from Singapore to Sydney.
"The first commercial A380 flight will be a moment in aviation history," said Chew Choon Seng, Singapore Airlines CEO.
"It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, on an aircraft that will mark a new chapter in air travel. And while we will celebrate the event, we also wish to remember the people who are less fortunate and can be assisted by the charities to which all the proceeds will go."
Singapore Airlines will provide the plane free as a goodwill gesture, and ExxonMobil will supply free fuel.
eBay will "subsidise the fees and charges from this auction", and its money-transfer arm PayPal will "rebate a portion of its fees and charges to help support the charities".
Money raised will go one third each to the Singapore Community Chest, childrens' hospitals in Australia, and to global med-relief agency Médecins Sans Frontières.
Exact schedule details will be released "soon, after final notification from Airbus about the delivery date". The eBay auctions are expected to take place some weeks prior to the flight. ®

Project Description
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as suitable materials for high-temperature applications in excess of 800 degrees Celsius (ºC). HEAs have revolutionized alloy design by using several principal elements as opposed to traditional alloys which consist of one or two principal elements with small additions of alloying elements to achieve desired properties. For this project, the University of Tennessee will perform fundamental studies on the aluminum-chromium-copper-iron-manganese-nickel HEA system for use in boilers and steam and gas turbines at temperatures above 760ºC and stress of 35 megapascals. They will also develop an integrated approach coupling thermodynamic calculations and focused experiments to identify HEAs that outperform conventional alloys.
Project Benefits
This project will identify and develop HEAs that have the key mechanical properties for use at elevated temperatures. The demonstrated computer-aided design approach will help identify and develop new types of alloys for advanced high-temperature fossil energy applications. Improvement to high-temperature advanced-materials will promote the development of advanced power plant designs that can operate at higher temperatures and pressures, leading to improvements in efficiency and operational flexibility, and result in lower operating costs.

Pregnancy can't stop one Malaysian Olympic shooter from heading to London this summer. Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi is a pregnant 29-year-old who is completing a number of record firsts as she trains to compete in the 2012 London Olympics. The New York Times reports that Nur Suryani is the first woman to represent Malaysia in shooting—and she's also the first pregnant woman to compete in the summer Olympics, joining only three winter Olympic competitors in the ranks of reported pregnant Olympic athletes.
PLUS: Pregnancy Exercises to Make You Fit For Delivery
According to Times, Nur Suryani realized she was pregnant just two days before she qualified for the 2012 London Olympics. Her next step was to convince Malaysian sporting authorities that, despite her pregnancy, she will be able to compete. Throughout eight months of pregnancy, her shooting records have improved, which she attributes to being permitted to keep her spot as a Malaysian shooting representative.
PLUS: 7 ways to stick to your pregnancy fitness plan
The Times reports that Prime Minister Najib Razak of Malaysia has promised that the government will handle Nur Suryani's medical care throughout the Olympics. The government will also arrange for Nur Suryani's husband to travel to London to watch her compete.
PLUS: How to exercise safely during pregnancy
Balance is extremely important in shooting. Nur Suryani told The New York Times, "One advantage that I've seen is that my stability increased—maybe because my gravity increased, my weight increased." In a sport like shooting, a kicking baby can dramatically affect her performance. But Nur Suryani has it all figured out. She said, "I will talk to her, say, 'Mum is going to shoot just for a while. Can you just be calm?'"
We wish Nur Suryani the best of luck at the Olympics!

The high toxicity of castor beans was recognized during the last century when the extract was found to agglutinate a suspension of erythrocytes of different animal species. Since then, lectins were studied and extracted from plants, including fungus and lichens, as well as in animals.
Lectins are glycoproteins of 60,000-100,000 MW that are known for their ability to agglutinate (clump) erythrocytes in vitro. There are over 400,000 estimated binding sites for kidney bean agglutinin on the surface of each erythrocytes. Lectins are found in most types of beans, including soybeans. Reduced growth, diarrhea, and interference with nutrient absorption are caused by this class of toxicants. Different lectins have different levels of toxicity, though not all lectins are toxic, though no all are toxins. The bright scarlet seeds of precatory bean Abrus precatorius contain the highly toxic glycoprotein, abrin. Less toxic lectins can be fatal if ingested in high amounts. Some of such lectins is concanavalin A from Concanavalia ensiformis (jack bean). Others may exhibit no hemagglutinating activity as in the case of ricin from castor bean and yet it is one of the most toxic substances.
The terms phytohemagglutinins, phytagglutinins, and lectins are used interchangeably. Lectins-containing plants have been found in many botanical groups including mono- and dicotyledons, molds and lichens, but most frequently they have been detected in Leguminoseae and Euphorbiaceae. They may exist in various tissues of the same plant and have different cellular localizations and molecular properties.
Lectins interaction with certain carbohydrate is very specific. This interaction is as specific as the enzyme-substrate, or antigen-antibody interactions. Lectins may bind with free sugar or with sugar residues of polysaccharides, glycoproteins, or glycolipids which can be free or bound (as in cell membranes). The term lectin refers to the specificity of the reaction (legere = to choose).
One of the major interest in this class of glycoproteins is the therapeutic use against HIV-1. Jacalin, a plant lectin, is found to completely block human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in vitro infection of lymphoid cells. This activity of the jacalin is attributed to its ability to specifically induce the proliferation of CD4+ T lymphocytes in human.

The ability to agglutinate human erythrocytes or representatives of human indigenous microflora was detected in 29 of 88 food items. Many foods contained substantial amounts of agglutinating activity, and lectins extracts could be diluted several folds and still produce agglutination. Great variation was observed in agglutination activity in the same food item purchased from different stores or from the same store on different days. Sometimes a food that possessed substantial activity on one day was found to have little or even no activity on other day.

You can collect the sigils of these powerful houses on these official Game of Thrones mugs, featuring high-quality art on a black ceramic base. And try to keep your mug out of the way of all of that fighting.
Product Specifications
- Game of Thrones ceramic coffee mugs
- Officially-licensed HBO Game of Thrones merchandise
- With house sigils for Tyrell or Baratheon
- For a nice warm beverage when Winter is Coming
- Capacity: 11 oz.

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cream
Gourmet dark chocolate with a soft creamy raspberry flavored center.
Remember when you'd bite the corners off the pieces in the cheap box looking for the caramel or nut to aviod those creams? Not anymore! Our creams are made the old fashion way, cooked cream centers. We take pure cane sugar and dissolve it in water and cook it to temperature in a shining copper kettle (Bubba). We pour the clear jello-like syrup into a huge mixer to cool to room temperature. We then add marshmallow and pure vanilla, turn on the mixer and in a few minutes, walla, our Vanilla Cream. All of our creams begin exactly the same way. If it's a maple cream we'll add Maple Syrup and fresh Pecans. If it's a Butter Cream we add Pure Butter and yes if it's a Raspberry, Orange or Strawberry Cream then yes, we add Pure Rasberry, Orange or Strawberry. The Head Candy Makers favorite piece of candy, Dark Butter Creams..
The creams are wicked delicious and sweet. Try them you won't be disappointed and you've probably never had anything like them.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Three businessmen in Jamaica have been charged with money laundering after an operation by security forces in several upscale neighborhoods in the Caribbean island's north.
The three men were formally charged Sunday, two days after they were arrested by police who raided their luxury homes in the Montego Bay area.
Police spokeswoman Dahlia Garrick says the operation was not targeting the island's notorious lottery scam, but she alleges that evidence collected during the raid suggests the men could have links to that cross-border fraud.
Jamaica's lottery scam targets mostly elderly people overseas who are told they have to pay upfront fees to collect winnings.
The three money laundering suspects are due to appear in a magistrate's court Wednesday. It is not clear if they have lawyers.

We've picked a winner! Congratulations to Kenneth, you just scored a new XOOM!
Hello and welcome to my Wednesday. History has shown me that Wednesdays have a tendency to be ultra lame. To combat that, the team at Android and Me came up with Midweek Madness. For those unaware, we like to give away small prizes during the week to help make things suck a little less.
Oh, I'm sorry, did I say small prizes? Let me fix that, because today we have a brand new XOOM tablet featuring the NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. We've got our hands on the newest WiFi-only model (no carrier contracts) and want to give it to you, the loyal reader.
To win today, we've made things easy. All you have to do is leave a comment below. Tell us what XOOM feature is your favorite. Make sure you use a REAL email address (seriously, last time one of the winners used a fake and missed out on a prize) and don't bother down voting each other's comments- the winner will be chosen at random.
Speaking of winners, check out this guy, who won a XOOM from us at the Google I/O Extended event here in Austin a few weeks ago. And speaking of real winners, when we gave away that tablet at the event, the first name drawn passed on the prize so a working developer would get it. She was called as the winner and instead took only a t-shirt, passing the tablet on to our next drawn name. I can't recall the last time I saw such a generous act.
After today, we'll only have one XOOM left to give away. So make sure you leave a comment for a chance to win! We'll be announcing the winner around this time tomorrow, you've only got a single day to enter!
To recap: leave a comment below for a chance to win a XOOM. Use your real email address so we can contact you. Tell us your favorite feature. Make Wednesdays less lame.
We've picked a winner! Congratulations to Kenneth, you just scored a new XOOM!

Memorial service set for Lakers owner Jerry Buss
February 20, 2013
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A memorial service for Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss will be held Thursday across from Staples Center.
The team says the service at Nokia Theatre is for invited guests only and isn't open to the public.
Buss died Monday at age 80 of kidney failure after struggling with cancer over the last 18 months.
He will be honored before the Lakers host the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
