EPA Files Complaint Against Oregon Pest Control Company after illegal use of pesticides leads to homeowner death
Release Date: 12/16/2008
Contact Information: Chad Schulze, EPA FIFRA Program, (206) 553-0505, email@example.com Tony Brown, EPA Public Affairs, (206) 553-1203, firstname.lastname@example.com
(Seattle, WASH. - December 16, 2008) Stemming from a pesticide exposure event that led to a Florence, Oregon woman's death, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has issued an Administrative Complaint to Swanson's Pest Management, Inc. (Swanson's) of Eugene, Oregon. The Complaint was filed following a review of Swanson's use of two pesticides, which uncovered multiple violations of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
In the Complaint, EPA alleges that on June 29, 2005, Swanson's illegally used the pesticides, Conquer Residential Insecticide Concentrate (EPA Reg. # 1021-1641-57076) and ULD BP-100 Contact Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 499-452). The alleged illegal actions included: 1) failing to properly ventilate the homes prior to the occupants re-entering, 2) applying Conquer improperly as a "space spray", and 3) improperly applying Conquer at nearly three times the allowable rate.
Tragically, one of the homeowners died when she entered her home approximately 2.5 hours after the pesticides were applied. Seven more people, including the responding paramedics, experienced respiratory distress or became ill when they entered the treated home.
The complaint also contains alleged violations pertaining to an application at another residence that took place prior to the application that led to the women's death. In this case, the applicator allegedly used the same tank mix of pesticides, though no adverse health affects were reported.
Although the consequences of Swanson's alleged violations were extremely serious, the federal pesticide law limits the penalty EPA can seek to a maximum of $4,550.
Swanson's has thirty days from the day they receive the Complaint to either arrange a settlement conference, file an answer to the Complaint, or pay the proposed penalty.

If I could magically recover all the money I've wasted on skin care products in my life, I'd be a wealthy woman. Who knew that one of the best moisturizers is likely sitting on my pantry shelf? That's just one of the great tips submitted by Everyday Cheapskate readers.
OLIVE OIL RELIEF. No matter what moisturizer you use or the skin type you have, the basic goal is the same: to effectively hold moisture close to the skin, without clogging your pores. All you really need is a small bottle of good extra-virgin olive oil, preferably organic. The best olive oil is still cheaper than most midrange retail products. Wash your face and neck as normal, blot dry leaving your face with a sheen of moisture, and then put a drop or two of olive oil into your palm. Rub your palms together, and pat over your clean skin. Olive oil is naturally humectant, meaning that it draws moisture from the air, and it is quite breathable on the skin. — M.T., Tennessee
DISHWASHER BAGS. When you need to wash small items in the dishwasher, place them in a zippered mesh laundry bag designed to wash lingerie. In these bags, tiny items like lids, washable appliance parts and small utensils won't get "lost" or find their way into the bottom of the dishwasher. After the bag is filled and zipped, lay it on the top shelf and run through a regular cycle with the other dishes. — Kay, Indiana
VEGGIE OIL CUTS GREASE. If you have that sticky, greasy film on your range hood — or anywhere else — that seems to get worse when you try to clean it with conventional products, try this: Take a paper towel and wet it with vegetable oil. Wipe the area with the oil-soaked paper towel, and the sticky, greasy film will come right off. After you remove the stuck-on grease, you can clean the surface with a regular kitchen cleaner, and the area will come out sparkling clean. — Sherri, Indiana
CHRISTMAS ACCOUNT, PLUS MORE. Our bank pays the same interest on Christmas club accounts as on a savings account. The Christmas club pays out in October, and that is the month we have taxes due. We use our Christmas club account to also save for our tax bill. This makes tax time and Christmas shopping a whole lot easier. — Joan, EC Blog
APPLE CORN-ON-THE-COB HOLDERS. My children enjoy peeled apples but have trouble handling them without making a sticky mess. After I peel the apple, I insert corn-on-the-cob holders on each end of the apple. They eat them up, and with no mess. — Jennifer, Michigan
MICRO-BAKED POTATOES. I "bake" my potatoes in the microwave until almost fork-tender, and then move them to the toaster oven set at 400 F for the last 7 to 10 minutes. I get crisp-skinned baked potatoes in one quarter of the time it takes to bake them in the oven. — Judiee, email

Feasibility of Sydney heliport questioned
The plan to have a moveable helicopter barge on Sydney Harbour has been put on hold following community criticism over a lack of consultation and safety checks.
Newcastle Helicopters was given approval last month to operate a floating heliport from the harbour, which it said would provide quick transfers to and from Sydney airport and scenic flights across the water.
But it announced on Saturday that it would be halting the plans until further notice.
"Effective immediately, Newcastle Helicopters has put the project of the Sydney Harbour Floating Heliport on hold until further notice, in order to consider the feasibility of the operation," it said in a statement.
The announcement came after Fairfax media reported on Saturday that the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) approved the project two weeks before it asked the Civil Aviation and Safety Authority (CASA) about air safety or air traffic control regulations.
In a letter dated December 4, Fairfax reported that RMS director Tony Middleton wrote to CASA asking a series of questions, including whether it required the authority's approval and if the helipad had to be a minimum distance from residents and/or the shorelines.
The reports sparked renewed criticism from federal MP Malcolm Turnbull, who on Saturday urged people to "take a moment to sign a petition to voice your concerns about the heliport project".
"Sydney Harbour is owned by all Australians and it is vital they have a say in the way it is managed," the federal member for Wentworth wrote in an email to supporters.
By 8.30pm (AEDT) Saturday, the Stop the Harbour Heliport petition by the community group, Friends of Sydney Harbour, had garnered almost 1000 signatures.
"Sydneysiders were not adequately consulted - nor their concerns heeded - when the NSW government approved a heliport to be located in the middle of the harbour," the group said.
Newcastle Helicopters said it planned to "address the relevant concerns and queries with thoroughly considered and accurate information.
"(It) is taking the appropriate steps to do so," it said on Saturday.
A spokesman for NSW Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner said: "Newcastle Helicopters has advised the NSW government that the Sydney Harbour Floating Heliport project has been put on hold, pending further discussions with relevant stakeholders."

Lipscomb Lady Bisons coach Frank Bennett has called upon his team for a recommitment from his players.
That commitment will be tested Thursday night at 4:15 when the Lady Bisons, 4-22, 2-14 in the Atlantic Sun, face Florida Gulf Coast at Alico Arena in Fort Myers, Fla. Florida Gulf Coast is 20-5 overall, 15-2 in the conference. The Golden Eagles are 12-0 on their home court this season. The Lady Bisons are 0-11 on the road.
"We have had our players renew their commitments to the things they can bring to the team," Bennett said. "We asked them to think about and write down what they can bring to the team. As coaches we assessed what we need from each player, what they do best and what they could do better. We combined those in writing and had the players sign them."
Bennett wants his players to be ready for every game, every practice and every shoot-a-round in the final stretch of the regular season.
"We want our leaders to get us ready to play," Bennett said. "I think the response was positive based on how we practiced."
Freshman forward Morgan Faulkner is coming off a double-double with 14 points and a team season high 12 rebounds against USC Upstate Feb. 11. It was Faulkner's first career collegiate start.
"We started Morgan because she had been practicing well the week before that," Bennett said. "She gives you a slasher who can go to the basket, finish the shot and get fouled. She is a pretty good outside shooter as well."
The Lady Bisons lost 67-44 to Florida Gulf Coast Jan. 4 at Allen Arena.
"Overall we played fairly well against them," Bennett said. "In the second half they made a few threes against our zone to open it up.
"They are really hard to guard. They don't run plays. They run a motion offense where they read defenses. And they are really good at doing it."
Florida Gulf Coast is led by Chelsea Lyles with 12.6 points and Adrianne McNally with 12.5 points per game. Both are senior forwards. Junior guard Shannon Murphy is averaging 11.5 points per game. Sophomore guard Courtney Chihil is the top rebounder with 6.2 per game.
Florida Gulf Coast was upset 57-56 by North Florida Saturday.
"They have been the top team in the league and North Florida didn't do us a favor by beating them," Bennett said. "I'm sure that will give them extra motivation to play well against us.
"They are really strong at home. They have had pretty big margins on their home court this year. They will be a defensive challenge for us."
Junior guard Jenna Bartsokas leads the Lady Bisons in scoring with 11.5 points per game. Sophomore center Brittany Duerk leads in rebounds with 5.7 per game. She is sidelined due to illness.
The Lady Bisons will also be missing two other players. Sophomore forward Chelsea Burroughs is out for the season with an injury and freshman center Chelsea McMeans is also sidelined with an injury.
"Brittany may be back a little bit this weekend," Bennett said. "She will, at best, play in very short bursts. We have missed her rebounding. She has been scoring tough baskets inside."
"Chelsea Burroughs is out for the year. Chelsea was a sparkplug with her hustle. She was always on the floor battling somebody and making a lot of contact during a game."
The Lady Bisons play their last road game of the regular season Saturday at Stetson at 2.

American Masters "Sister Rosetta Tharpe: The Godmother of Rock & Roll" During the 1940s, 50s and 60s, Southern-born, Chicago-raised and New York-made Sister Rosetta Tharpe introduced the spiritual passion of her gospel music into the secular world of popular rock 'n roll, inspiring the male icons of the genre. This flamboyant African-American gospel superstar, with her spectacular virtuosity on the newly electrified guitar, was a natural-born performer and a rebel -- one of the most important singer-musicians of the 20th century. She is acknowledged as a major influence not only on generations of black musicians -- including Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Isaac Hayes and Etta James -- but also on white stars such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash.

Peter, Paul and Mary: Carry It On: A Musical Legacy There once was a time, some years before the ascendance of rock and roll on Top 40 radio, when popular music veered sharply from the mainstream to sample American roots-music traditions. Inspired by the songs of Pete Seeger and The Weavers, this "folk" music, found its greatest expression during the early 1960's in the songs of an emerging Greenwich Village group known as Peter, Paul and Mary. In the Trio's new PBS show "Carry It On: A Musical Legacy" we share in the four decade long career of Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey and Mary Travers. D

What's the equivalent to .bashrc for sh?
I am trying to use the Quake-style terminal Stjerm, but it doesn't recognize all the customizations I've been adding to my .bashrc (used in Sakura).
Stjerm's prompt starts with 'sh', so I guess sh uses a different configuration file. I've searched the computer for a .shrc file, equivalent to .bashrc, but nothing shows. Also, I have read the sh man page, and searched the Internet, but haven't found anything (it doesn't help that the .sh termination is commonly used in script names
So, what's the way to customize sh? Is there such a configuration file, or is it a whole different deal? Thank you

Thank you for the links, Trapster, they are a great resource, but, from what I've seen, they refer to stjerm-specific configuration (say, colors, autohide on-off, key to press to make the terminal pop in...), rather than to sh itself.
I have never had to tweak .Xdefaults, because the stjerm pet I installed also included a small script called stjerm-bin, that takes care of all that kind of stuff.
You made me realize I should have defined better what I meant by 'configuration'. The kind of configuration I was referring to is rather the list of alias and functions I go creating along the way and adding to .bashrc. For example, that typing s enter takes you to seamonkey, typing c instead of clear... That kind of customization that makes your life more comfortable...
If I could have that customization plus the emerging terminal it would be the best of both worlds... I was thinking maybe of separating such configuration instructions as a different text file, and sourcing it in both bash and sh so I can use it in any terminal...
I find strange that such aspect of sh is not explained out there, but, again, sh is a very short word, and usable in several contexts, which makes finding possible information harder.

HI Rattlehead,
In the /etc/passwd file you could change your user log in shell from /bin/sh to /bin/bash. Then restart the computer.

I believe that only bash 3.0 is installed in Puppy linux.
There is a link so that a script that runs sh shell is actually
running bash shell.
I would have to run pfind to find that link.

Yes, you're right. I did the search and /bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash.
But then, I wonder, shouldn't all the bash alias work just fine in this pseudo sh?
Funny, if in sakura (bash) I execute
From them on the terminal does not recognize my alias.
But if, then, I open a new Sakura terminal, here come the alias again...

If /bin/sh is a link to bash, bash will not behave the same when called as /bin/bash.
When sh is linked to bash I get this:
# echo $SHELL
~/.bash_profile which will source .bashrc, if it is present, and is read by bash only.
sh does not read .bash_profile. That is why aliases in .bashrc don't work.
sh will read ~/.profile so you could move .bash_profile to .profile, and have that source a file
with aliases, and other stuff.
On a side note, when invoked as sh, Bash enters POSIX mode.

Post subject: Cut down shell
I thought Puppy didn't have a full shell as that would be too big for a small distro.
Isn't it mostly Busybox with some additional full commands from Bash (or is it Ash?)
But I could well be very wrong about this!

Thank you, I tried that, but no luck. Here's what I did.
There was no .bash_profile file. There wasn't a ~/.profile, either, so what I did was copying .bashrc as ~/.profile, and then restarting X (stjerm didn't want to die with ctrl+c). It still did not recognize the alias. However, after I source .profile from sjterm,
source ~/.profile
, stjerm does start to recognize the alias, so it seems a logic conclusion that stjerm does not read neither .bashrc nor .profile at startup. Maybe the program is in development and it still can't be configurated? Another limitation that I have just noticed, and which makes it hard to make it a full time substitute for Sakura, is that it does not have tab autocompletion.
So anyways, thank you for the suggestions, I'm glad I've learned a bit more about how terminals work.

text: about Fuel Pump Controllers, the associated connections, how to get home without one. This month in Best of Forum is a thread started by racer7. The information deals with how his went bad and how he handled the fix. There are some great pictures and while you may not have the same bike, it would seem most of the newer bikes have the same set-up (it's the same on my 2009F800GS). Remember the thread, while is from a ways back, is "open" and feel free to add anything that may help others when their Fuel Pump Controller goes south. Enjoy, Gary

Parents wishing to send their children to a private school for the 2014-15 school year may now have an additional opportunity to do so at a greatly reduced cost.
The North Carolina Opportunity Scholarship program will provide up to $4,200 a year in educational benefits to about 2,400 students.
The new program is administered by the State Education Assistance Authority.
Due to the program�s newness, this school year�s eligibility requirements will be slightly different than those for subsequent years, according to the SEAA website, ncseaa.edu.
All Opportunity Scholarship Program applications that meet the eligibility criteria and are submitted by midnight on Feb. 25 will be entered into a lottery, and recipients will be randomly selected from that pool of applications. If there are more applications in the selection pool than funding available, a waiting list will be established from applications received by the Feb. 25 priority deadline.
To qualify for a scholarship for the 2014-15 school year, a child must:
� Live in a household that meets 100 percent Free and Reduced Lunch qualifications.
� Be a full-time student who has not graduated from high school.
� Have attended a public school during the 2014 spring semester.
Scholarship amounts must not exceed the actual cost of tuition and fees.
Students who were in a preschool or prekindergarten program for the 2013-14 school year are not applicable. To participate in the Opportunity Scholarship program schools must have provided the SEAA with documentation for tuition and fees that have been charged to the student, conduct a criminal background check for the staff member with the highest decision making authority, have a financial review if the school receives more than $300,000 in scholarship funding, and annually administer a nationally standardized test to scholarship students in grades three or higher.

Dateline: Russia—Construction workers demolishing a Stalin-era hotel near Moscow's historic Red Square stumbled across nearly a ton of explosives hidden in the building. Moscow's NTV television showed workers removing boxes of explosives from the deep, muddy hole that was once one of the Soviet Union's flagship hotels. "The boxes held only explosives without detonators, so there was no risk of an explosion in the hotel," a police spokesman told Russian news agencies. The Hotel Moskva was built in 1935 and stood opposite Russia's parliament building. "According to preliminary information, the explosive was hidden in a cache during the Great Patriotic War," a police spokesman was quoted by Itar-Tass news agency as saying, referring to World War II. Many Soviet buildings were apparently wired to explode in case Adolph Hitler's forces had taken Moscow.
The Real Side
Muddy Otero Mesa
Activists getting in deeper with loose claims on water resources
God must love Otero Mesa. Energy companies have found deposits of natural gas that grow larger with every media opportunity, beyond what even the Bush administration believes lies under the crusty soil. Environmentalists, not to be outdone, proclaim discovery of staggering volumes of potable water.
[RE: "Marty's New Math," The Real Side, June 23-29] I am writing in regard to recent columns trashing Mayor Chavez and otherwise casting about as to who should say and do what in the upcoming elections.

U.S. Pipe Marvel City mill: OEE automation project profile
Below : Automation project photo gallery , project requirements and automation technologies used , people-first policies , and related automation-MES reading .
Automated ductile iron pipe manufacturing operation advanced quality and lowered cost by applying FactoryTalk from Rockwell Automation, Microsoft SQL, and smart integration from Revere Control Systems Inc., and Stone Technologies Inc.
U.S. Pipe and Foundry's automated ductile iron pipe manufacturing operation in Bessemer, AL, is an efficiency-based, streamlined, flow-through process facility.
U.S. Pipe and Foundry's automated ductile iron pipe manufacturing operation in Bessemer, AL, is an efficiency-based, streamlined, flow-through process facility. Higher quality and lower costs resulted from the application of FactoryTalk from Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK), Microsoft SQL, and smart integration from Revere Control Systems Inc., and Stone Technologies Inc. The U.S. Pipe Marvel City Mini Mill is the only ductile iron pipe operation in the United States to employ state-of-the-art machinery and transport systems, the company says. U.S. Pipe and Foundry Co. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mueller Water Products Inc. (NYSE: MWA).
Two of the goals for the Bessemer operation were to improve quality and lower costs, and both goals have been met through automated processes and improvements in technology. U.S. Pipe announced plans for the automated operation in May 2007, and it began producing orders in the fall 2008.
The operation, designed to run up to 24 hours per day, makes maximum asset utilization a requirement. New equipment assets have advanced U.S. Pipe's level of automation, while under-utilized assets at sister facilities were used where appropriate for the new operation.
People first, better environment
While the Bessemer facility uses far more automated processes than traditional ductile iron pipe facilities, it relies heavily on a highly skilled work force. Time and development was spent on bringing the new workforce into the operation to help complete the installation.
Training is a fundamental foundation of the mill's culture by investing in people, helping them grow, and providing challenges to stimulate minds. Employees are cross-trained on all jobs within the operation, including preventive maintenance. Through automation U.S. Pipe has moved towards a workforce that monitors processes. The resulting work environment encourages lower turnover and provides a stable employee environment. State-of-the-art performance monitoring software helped established performance standards for continuous improvement. The company says that combining new controls and automation with existing manufacturing technologies has lead to superior performance.
Marvel City Mini Mill project overview
U.S. Pipe wanted an overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) system to help understand the efficiency and downtime of the new automated operation. U.S. Pipe's local systems integration partner, Revere Control Systems Inc., suggested Stone Technologies Inc. provide expertise in the manufacturing execution systems (MES)/OEE space. Stone worked with U.S. Pipe to define reporting requirements and designed and implemented a solution accordingly. The implemented system tracks the efficiency, downtime and operators at each location within the line to provide production visibility. The solution uses Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk Metrics, FactoryTalk Transaction Manager , FactoryTalk Historian Classic , and Microsoft SQL Reporting Services to provide the desired functionality.
Stone developed a custom application using ASP.Net to allow U.S. Pipe to re-categorize its downtime events and enter notes that team members can review to help make process improvements. Stone also provided custom Microsoft SQL Reporting Services reports that allowed U.S. Pipe to understand casting operations information, including valuable information from each captured data fields. U.S. Pipe Plant Systems group created applications that store production data. Stone provided custom reports to provide visibility into data stored within those databases.
Photo gallery of custom functionality
Several custom screens follow, developed by Stone Technologies to satisfy the needs of U.S. Pipe. Each screen interacts with data captured by FactoryTalk Metrics or modifies data previously captured by FactoryTalk Metrics.
Production mode selection/operator log on: This HMI screen allows the operator to select the current production mode for the operation. It also allows operators to select the current shift and log into the operation.
HMI screen at U.S. Pipe Marvel City Mini Mill allows the operator to select the current production mode for the operation, Stone Technologies says.
HMI screen operator stop selection: HMI screens allow operators to choose from several categories of operator stops. Once the operator selects the category for the downtime, the operator can then select a more detailed reason for the downtime (not shown).
Stone Technologies created this primary stop HMI screen for U.S. Pipe Marvel City Mini Mill.
Downtime categorization: Operations team uses the following screen to clarify data that the system has recorded. The operations engineer would select the operation in which to modify data, the shift and product to be modified, and then can review downtime events and make any necessary modifications (splitting events into multiple time buckets, changing descriptions or adding notes).
U.S. Pipe Marvel City Mini Mill's operations team uses this screen, created by Stone Technologies, to clarify data the system has recorded.

Centrifugal casting: U.S. Pipe and Foundry Co.
Originally incorporated in 1899 as United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company, the incorporation consolidated 12 companies located in eight states. Each of the company's original plants manufactured pipe by the pit cast method. With this method, molten iron was poured in vertical molds lined with sand. In 1921, the Company began manufacture of cast iron pipe by the centrifugal casting method. U.S. Pipe and Foundry Co. says it is the largest domestic producer of ductile iron pipe in sizes 4 in. through 64 in. U.S. Pipe says it perfected ductile iron pipe production, with a product superior in strength to cast iron. It was the first in the industry to use ductile iron exclusively for all pressure pipe and fittings. Headquartered in Birmingham, AL, U.S. Pipe has facilities in Bessemer, AL, and Union City, CA.
Revere Control Systems, Stone Technologies
Revere Control Systems and Stone Technologies worked on the U.S. Pipe Project and are business units of the Automation Alliance Group (AAG), a corporation owned by system integrators that provides clients with broad process and technological capabilities worldwide. As a member company, Stone shares resources with the group for specialty technologies, to supplement staff, or to provide additional geographic coverage.

Angels get to Rays early for Win
Angels 6, Rays 1
There has been speculation in the baseball web sites that Rays number 1 pick last season, David Price is in Vero Beach, Florida as a tune up for a fast promotion through the minors starting in July 2008. Price did state before the season that his personal goal is to be at the Tampa Bay level by September.
In a recent game, Price did battle against veteran Pedro Martinez, down doing a rehab assignment and both teams got a good look at the futre of both pitchers. Pedro is again loving baseball, which could be trouble for the NL East very soon. When Pedro is happy playing baseball, he is at his best on the mound.
Price recently got his first taste of defeat in the pros when he got rocked in Fort Meyers, Florida. The Rays are watching closely to see how hr rebounds after his first taste of normalcy in the minors. The next step for him would be the Double-A Montgomery Biscuits.
This might be a great team for Price to be on the same roster as alot of the pitchers' who will be the Rays backbone in 3-5 years at the major league level. It might be the best barometer to see just how far he has progressed this season, hitting in the batter friendly Southern League.
Trivia Fact of the Night:
On July 14,1946, Lou Boudreau of the Cleveland Indians set a major-league mark as the first player with 5 exta-base hits in a ballgame.
Gabe Gross's 5th homer in the 8th inning became the only run to cross the plate for the Rays aginst the Angels last night. In his last 8 games, Gross is 9-31 ( .290) with 3 doubles, 2 homers and 7 RBI's for the Rays.
B J Upton again got caught stealing last night against the Anglels. B J was trying to steal second base off Jered Weaver in the 4th innig by Angels' catcher Jeff Mathis. It was Upton's 8th caught stealing of the season, making him Tied for first with Chris Gomez of the Twins.
Rays starter James Shields was a bit over hyped last night in his start against the Angels. Shields first three fastball were clocked up around the 94 MPH range, a bit high for him. This might also be a slight cuase to the Angels rocking him in the first inning for 4 runs.
After the game, Rays Manager Joe Maddon remarked about how he also saw the Shields was a bit high on the gun in the beginnig of the game, and his off-speed pitches did not run over like they usually do for him.
The first inning barrage basically was the scoring for the Angels until they got two more insurance runs in the 5th inning off a Vladimir Guererro homer. Shields pitched the entire game for the Rays, going 8 innings of 10-hit, 6-run ball to take his 5th loss of the season.
After the game, Shields announced he would be beginning his 6 game suspension stemming from the Boston fight earler in the roadtrip. Sheilds waited until after this game to get one start against a team he has had great success against in the past.
In other suspension news, DH/Rightfielder Jonny Gomes has now served his time and will be able to play in the Florida Marlins series beginning on Friday night. Gomes served his time during the Texas and LA Angels series and is ready to help the Rays pull back into first place in the AL East.
Evan Longoria continued his hot streak against the Angels by getting 2 doubles in the game. Longoria now has 14 doubles for the season. In his first series in his hometown against the Angels, Evan was 5-7 (All extra-base hits), 3 doubles and 2 homers and 3 RBI's.
Anyone wanting to purchase tickets to the Chicago Cubs series during the next week at the Trop., had better hit ticketmaster or the Rays box office soon before the games are reduced to single seats and onstructed views seating. The series has shown brisk sales the last few days as this will be the return of Lou Pinella to the Trop.
Also of importance, is the fact that these two teams have been the hottest teams of late in the MLB, and it should be an excellient series for both teams. This series will show both managers' what kind of ball clubs they have on their hands. The Cubs have a few playoff vets on their roster, and the Rays are trying to join that exclusive club by making the playoff for the first time in their history.
Last, but not least, the Saturday night game against the Florida Marlins is a 6:10 P.M. start because of the concert after the game. The game will also be blackedout for local television, so the only way to see the game is in person, or by listening to the Rays radio broadcast.
Every Saturday night that the Rays have a concert series event, will not be telecasted, and will be an early start time this year. Just a reminder for the fans.

Robin Thicke had some famous friends by his side as he celebrated his 35th birthday party at Catch in New York City. The R&B star and wife Paula Patton were joined by Beyoncé and Jay-Z at the soiree.
It was a super-private bash, with only about 20 guests attending. Thicke and his friends were blocked off by security guards, as he didn't rent out the whole venue, and they all enjoyed Armand de Brignac. He did, however, treat fellow diners at the hip restaurant to some tunes, playing deejay for the whole dining room from his iPod.

Katsuya Fujimoto and Shuichi Yutaka, the general secretary
and the president of Shinbun Roren, the Japan Federation of Newspaper Workers'
Unions, sit at a table in their office in
They say they are optimistic about improving access to press conferences for journalists who are not members of the exclusive clubs, which give print and broadcast journalists exclusive access to press conferences and high-level anonymous sources. The union formally requested such access in 1994 and 2002, to no avail. Freelance, Internet and foreign reporters are frequently excluded. But on February 9, they say, in a little-reported weekly press conference, Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications, Kazuhiro Haraguchi—who has already made his own ministry's press club open its doors—told journalists he planned to investigate the openness of press conferences in all government ministries, including the prosecutor's office.
• 日本語版
That development marks a small step toward meeting promises made by the Democratic Party of Japan in the run-up to the 2009 election, when they defeated the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Ironically, Fujimoto says, pressure on the government to fulfill that pledge has grown because of a news storm surrounding Japanese prosecutors' investigation of the party's secretary-general, Ichiro Ozawa, for alleged corruption.
Another issue
the unions grapple with is physical stress. Working long hours is so embedded
in the industry culture that death from overwork, with symptoms including heart
attacks or brain aneurysm, is a source of real concern in

Kidsleepy is a music geek, especially when it comes to the best thing to come out of Dayton since the Wright Brothers: Guided By Voices.
So how nice was it this morning to wake up and see a former GBV member, James Greer (also a Francophone, novelist and head of new band Détective ) wax uber-funny about our profession.
Greer watched the Capital One Bowl and decided to write about his impressions. Happily, his impressions had little to do with the game, and all to do with the commercials. You can read it all over at The Weeklings. And you should. In fact Greer's "Turnover City-- A Listicle" should be mandatory reading for all clients.
Some choice cuts on the list:
2. According to a comprehensive study of every car commercial aired during bowl week, many people receive cars as Christmas gifts. I've never known anyone who received a car as a Christmas gift. As presented in a series of variations on a theme by one particular brand, the choice is either an ugly scarf or a new car. If you give someone an ugly scarf they'll tell you "Just what I wanted!" but their heart won't be in it. On the other hand, if you give them an unfathomably expensive tricked-out new ride they'll say "Just what I wanted!" and they'll mean it. For a mere $20K or so, you can buy sincerity.
6. Everybody in America loves America unconditionally. Banks have something to do with servicemen and women coming home safely. Insurance companies help teach children to ride bikes, or think that teaching children to ride bikes is the summit of good parenting.
11. TD Ameritrade is a big fan of the films of Wes Anderson. But not of rocket science.*
12. Alec Baldwin's talents are perhaps better used than hawking anytime/anywhere credit card miles for Capital One. Then again, he's doubtless getting a sweet deal since Capital One has bought the entire week for branding purposes and Baldwin is, for the most part, the face of their brand. He does seem hell-bent on squandering the goodwill he's banked on 30 Rock, however.
15. Insurance, banking, trucks, and Bud Light appear to be the four biggest businesses in America. Without these things life would be inert and colorless. And probably illegal.
Hey, dude? Are you available for focus groups? We could use you...

Why edgy makes for better photos in Vancouver
When searching for the highest level of civilization on this planet, you might well find it in Vancouver. But edgy makes for better photographs.
Photo tip! Visitors make for an excellent topic
The yearly Calgary Stampede is a real cowboy show. The main events happen within a huge arena in which rodeo, chuckwagon races, bull riding and calf roping are performed by the cowboys and cowgirls.
Why everyone will find happiness in Vancouver
Walking around in Vancouver, I feel a sense of happiness in everywhere. Vancouverites seem very happy with the city they live in.
Swimming with the fishes on Vancouver Island
Driving north away from Nanaimo the next day, on Vancouver Island's north coast, I eventually reach Campbell River after many hours of empty highways and beautiful views. Here is the Canada I recognize from countless nature documentaries: wide-open vistas, achingly sharp snow-tipped mountains, and salmon runs so thick you can almost walk from one side of the river to the other.
A slice of China in The Americas
A massive one-third of Vancouver's population is Chinese. Talking to Vancouverites, I look into the history behind that figure.
From Totem Town to a pastoral paradise
On Vancouver Island, I leave the jarring "British Candy Shoppes" of Victoria behind for the town of Duncan, only 65 km up the east coast, to find a charming railroad town that has reinvented itself as "the city of totems".
Vancouver is Generation X come to life
Vancouver's Granville Island is a place about which it is impossible not to use the word "melting pot" – so I won't try. This former industrial area, in the shadow of a huge grid-like road bridge spanning False Creek, has been transformed into a foodie's paradise with a busy market and shore-side dining.
Where you're constantly reminded that life is good
On a walk along Vancouver's foreshore, bikes are only one of the modes of transport I see being used.
A high-flying lesson in economics
Downtown Vancouver can look like any other North American city, but a floatplane tour is a chance to experience a very different side of this Canadian gem.
On Vancouver Island, going west is well worth it
The small coastal communities of Tofino and Ucluelet on Vancouver Island's west coast, exposed to the full fury of the Pacific Ocean, are perfect for storm-watching in the winter months.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla .— Barry University's baseball team improved to 3-1 on the young season and picked up another regional win after defeating conference foe Nova Southeastern University, 1-0, Thursday night.
The Sharks suffered their first defeat in four games this season.
The game was every bit of a pitcher's duel as both teams traded zeros on the scoreboard through the first eight innings. Right-hander Brad McAllister scattered three hits, struck out three and allowed just two walks in his first start of the season as each starter went six innings.
The Bucs threatened in the top of the sixth after the first two batters of the frame reached base, but weren't able to capitalize.
In the top of the ninth, Adrian English singled to right on the first pitch and advanced to second on a well-executed sacrifice bunt by Sheehan Planas. Lyndon Coleman followed with a hot shot up the middle, knocked down by Sharks pitcher Sean Tighe. setting up runners on the corners with one out.
The Buccaneers broke the scoreless tie when Harold Holness, who had entered the lineup for designated hitter Elliott earlier in the game, drove in the game's lone run on a sacrifice fly to center field.
Senior T.J. Mullins pitched a perfect ninth to earn his first save of the season and seal the victory for the Bucs.
Calvin Rayburn earned the win for Barry, throwing two shutout innings, striking out one and allowing just one walk.
English, Coleman and Sam Halpern combined for the Bucs' three hits in the game.
Barry will get a short rest this weekend before their home opener on Tuesday when the Buccaneers host St. Thomas University.
Live-stat and audio broadcast will be available through the Barry University website, GOBARRYBUCS.COM.

A Highway Patrol officer is on leave as the investigation into the death of an Iowa college student taken into custody continues.
A charter boat captain who stopped to assist the Missouri State Highway Patrol said he attempted to help as he watched the tragic drowning of a 20-year-old college student near the 3.5 mile marker on the Gravois Arm of Lake of the Ozarks.
Brandon Ellingson's body was recovered Sunday shortly before noon by the Highway Patrol Dive Team after going overboard while in the custody of the highway patrol. Ellingson, a college student from Clive, Iowa attending Arizona State University, was arrested for suspected boating while intoxicated early Saturday evening after being taken into custody following a routine stop by the Highway Patrol.
Jim Bascue was headed back from Coconuts from the Saturday Bar Hop Cruise he runs as a charter service. He said the lake was busy, which is typical for that time of the day on the main channel. Bascue operates Playin Hooky charter and taxi service. More often than not, around 5 p.m. is a busy time on the water. Seeing a Highway Patrol boat is normal but as the officer slowed down and started to turn around in the main channel, Bascue said it quickly caught his attention.
"We left around 5 p.m. to head back to Camden on the Lake. While approaching the 4 mile marker on the Gravois Arm, I saw a water patrol boat stopping just ahead of us in the middle of the channel and turning around," Bascue said. "At first I wasn't sure what was going on then I noticed a person wearing a life jacket in the water. The officer was trying to help. As I approached I tried to position my boat where I could assist, and block traffic and the wakes from passing boats. While I was positioning my boat, I saw the life jacket had come off the young man. I threw out our life ring and throw rope but there was no attempt to reach it."
The life ring and throw rope landed somewhere between 4 to 6 feet away from the victim as he struggled in the water.
Bascue said he saw him go under a couple of times. The passengers on his boat were yelling at Ellingson, telling him to grab on. At that point, Bascue said he didn't know if the young man was handcuffed or not.
In the meantime, Bascue said the officer attempted to reach Ellingson with a pole. When his attempts failed and Ellingson went back under, the officer jumped into the water. The officer managed to pull Ellingson up but in the struggle, the officer couldn't hold on to get them both to safety.
By that point, Bascue said the officer was showing signs of exhaustion. He was able to grab on to the side of Bascue's boat. With the officer hanging on, Bascue pulled closer to the officer's Donzi. A passenger on Bascue's boat jumped onto the Highway Patrol boat to hold on to the charter boat while Bascue got on the Donzi to help the officer get back on board.
"The officer did everything he could to save the young man including putting his own life in danger by jumping into the water, but he just not able to hold on to him. I just don't know what else the officer could have done," Bascue said. "From the time I saw the Water Patrol boat stopping until it was all over, only a couple of minutes had passed. Things like this happen very quickly."
Few details about the drowning and the events leading up to Ellingson going overboard are available at this time according to Missouri Highway Patrol Spokesperson Sgt. Paul Reinsch.
Reinsch confirmed Ellingson was stopped for a boating violation that resulted in his arrest on suspicion of boating while intoxicated. The officer, Anthony Piercy, 42, had handcuffed and put a lifejacket on Ellingson before seating him in the boat.
Ellingson had not been given an official breathalyzer. Those are done once the arresting officer and the subject are on land.
According to Reinsch, at one point prior to Ellingson going overboard, he stood up on the boat. Piercy told him to sit back down. Ellingson then walked to the back of the boat and went overboard. The incident occurred approximately 5:23 p.m. on Saturday.
"A life vest was put on the subject. At some point when he entered the water, it did come off," Reinsch said.
What type of lifejacket had been put on Ellingson and how it came off has not been released. Reinsch said that sort of information would be in the official report that could be released later this week.
Reinsch told the Lake Sun that Ellingson was wearing what the Highway Patrol considers a level three vest type of life vest with three snaps on the front. If it was fastened correctly and how it came off in the water is still under investigation.
Piercy was the only officer on the boat. He has been with the Missouri Highway Patrol for 18 years and was trained to work on the water in March 2013. Piercy normally works on the road but was placed on the water this particular weekend since the water division expected large crowds. He has been placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of an internal investigation. Reisnch said that is standard procedure in any situation where there is a death.
Joyce L. Miller and Spree Hilliard contributed to the report.

The Blues initially enjoyed an upturn in form upon the Spaniard's appointment in November but have won just one of their last five games in all competitions.
And, despite rumours circulating that Benitez could see his short reign at Stamford Bridge ended early, the former Liverpool boss insists he is comfortable with his position.
"I last spoke to him after the Arsenal game, 20 days ago. We were doing really well and he was really happy," he told reporters. "Since then, I've had conversations with people close to him but not directly. Do you know what he thinks? If you don't know, you can't say this or that will happen. Nobody knows.
"We have been talking with the people here. I was talking with him. We were talking about football. In terms of football everything is fine."
The 52-year-old went on to claim that he is only focusing on the west London club's next game - a home clash with Wigan.
"I know that I have a game, an important game - and that is my priority," he added. "My contract is until the end of the season. I cannot talk about my future if my priority is the next game.
"I am sure I was training my players and preparing for this game. I cannot give you an answer.
"Why? Because I have to concentrate on the next game. I have a contract until the end of the season and we can be talking and talking, but all I can do is win games.
"My job is exactly the same. After winning, you can have better comments in the media in general, but that's part of football. I've been in football for 26 years as a manager, and all my life as a player too. If you win, it's fine. If not, people start talking. But I knew I was signing a contract for six or seven months."

Claude Speed
|Claude Speed
|Full Name
|Claude Speed
|Place of Birth
|Anywhere City
|Main Affiliations
The Zaibatsu Corporation
Russian Mafia
Hare Krishna
|Voiced by
|played by Scott Maslen
- For other characters, see Claude (disambiguation).
Claude Speed is a character in the 2D Universe and the protagonist in Grand Theft Auto 2. He started his career as a simple thug, however he was soon hired by the major gangs that controlled Anywhere City. Claude secretly worked with all of them and in the end managed to kill all of their leaders, effectively becoming the true leader of the city's crime.
GTA 2 movie rendition
Little history is known about the character from GTA 2; however, DMA Design had previously released a promotional movie for the game, which was also compiled into the opening cinematic of the game, depicting a live-action rendition of Claude Speed committing several criminal acts, similar in all Grand Theft Auto games. In the movie, Claude is seen performing jobs for several crime bosses, before being shot to death by an assassin sent by the Zaibatsu Corporation, whose van and merchandise were previously stolen by Claude.
The movie's version of Claude shares a few physical appearances with the Claude in the GTA III Era games, including his black jacket (made of cloth in GTA 2 and leather in GTA III, GTA San Andreas), t-shirt (white color in GTA 2 and black in GTA III, GTA San Andreas), long pants (black color in GTA 2 and dark khaki in GTA III, GTA San Andreas) and slicked hair. The movie version, however, was also depicted speaking and displaying an array of emotions, a characteristic not seen in either the GTA III or the GTA San Andreas versions. Claude may also bear some resemblance to Elvis Presley, as when he walks into the Elvis impersonators in the game, they will occasionally shout, "Hey man, it's the King!" and "I told you he was alive!"
Claude Speed is an extremely rude character and apparently has no regret of the crimes he accomplishes. He will work for anyone who will give him the needed money and will be ready to fight even the Army to pursue his goals. He was seen in more than one occasion laughing once he successfully gained what he wanted and is particularly ferocious in killing people, and he was once seen spitting over the body of a person he killed. He also worked for various gangs at the same time, angering all of them but in the end he managed to kill all of their leaders, putting an end to their rule over the city. He is known to have used drugs and cigars and knows how to use a variety of weapons, from simple pistols to even rocket launchers.
In-game Naming
In GTA 2, Claude Speed's in-game name is simply given as a myriad of nicknames from nine bosses of seven gangs:
- "Gecko" by all three heads of The Zaibatsu Corporation (Trey Welsh, Red Valdez and Uno Carb)
- "Jumbo" by Elmo, head of the Loonies
- "Kosai" by Johnny Zoo, head of the Yakuza
- "Rooster" by Billy Bob Bean, head of the Rednecks
- "THC-303" by Dr. LaBrat, head of the Scientists
- "Comrade" by Jerkov, head of the Russian Mafia
- "Grasshopper" by Sunbeam, head of the Hare Krishna
Murders committed
- Doctor Cubana
- Yutes Boss
- Trey Welsh
- Elmo
- Johnny Zoo
- ACPD Chief of Police
- Flambo Cortez
- Billy Bob Bean
- Dr. LaBrat
- Red Valdez
- Jerkov
- Uno Carb
- Sunbeam
Grand Theft Auto III
There is speculation that Claude Speed is the same character as Claude from Grand Theft Auto III. Aside from the same first name, the Claude that appears in GTA 2: The Movie is dressed similarly (but not identically) to the Claude of GTA III. The movie's version of Claude Speed shares a several physical appearances with the Claude in the GTA III Era games, including his black jacket (made of cloth in GTA 2 and leather in GTA III, GTA San Andreas), t-shirt (white color in GTA 2 and black in GTA III, GTA San Andreas), long pants (black color in GTA 2 and dark khaki in GTA III, GTA San Andreas) and slicked hair.
Rockstar has never confirmed or denied that the two are the same person: in response to a query posted by a fan, an official spokesperson said:
"Probably. It seems very likely but it's also possible that there are just a lot of angry silent car thieves called Claude out there."[1]
Rockstar created an official Facebook quiz called "What Grand Theft Auto character are you?", in which by answering sixteen questions, the user would be given a character from the GTA series that fitted their personality. Certain combinations of answers would result in the answer Claude Speed with the artwork of GTA III's Claude, suggesting that either Claude Speed was merged with Claude, or that the two characters are exactly the same character, while also suggesting that this could be an official confirmation of them being the same characters. However, the accompanying description makes no reference to GTA 2.[2]
It would be worth noting that if both Claudes were the same character, it would prove one of the following:
- Grand Theft Auto 2 is canon with the GTA III Era.
- Claude Speed was the beta name of Claude.
- Claude was still alive in 2013 (if the game was actually set in 2013).
It is likely that Claude Speed, and Claude are just different versions of the same character in two separate universes. So while technically being the same, it is just two separate scenarios that have no connection. GTA 2 is Claude Speed as he would be in a world where he's in the futuristic Anywhere City, and GTA III is Claude as he would be in a more realistic world in present day, Liberty City.
- Claude Speed, Michael De Santa, and Trevor Philips are the only GTA protagonists to smoke cigarettes. Michael can smoke in his house, while Trevor can be seen smoking occasionally when switching to his character in Grand Theft Auto V. His two safe houses are also littered with cigarette butts.
- At the end of the GTA 2 movie, Claude is killed when he is shot 3 times by a Zaibatsu assassin as he tries to open a car. It is unknown if this is canonical to the game, however.
- There is speculation that Claude Speed also is Claude from Grand Theft Auto III, but this has never been confirmed (see Claude#Grand Theft Auto 2 for further information).
- Upon close inspection of Claude Speed's rapsheet in the intro movie, it reveals that he is 28 during GTA 2, which is set in 2013. If Claude Speed is in fact Claude from GTA III, this would make Claude 15-17 during GTA III, set in 2001, and 6-8 years old in GTA San Andreas, set in 1992. This makes it impossible that they are the same character, unless Claude's rap sheet is fake or non-canonical. However, if GTA 2 is actually set in 1999 as some in-game references may indicate, then Claude would be 20-22 in GTA San Andreas, and 29-31 in GTA III.

That's 'Unfortunate'
A sneak peek at ''Lemony Snicket.'' Here's a look at the latest flick starring Jim Carrey by Daniel Fierman
Pity the baudelaire orphans. their parents? murdered. Their home? Destroyed. Their guardian? Count Olaf (Jim Carrey), a dastardly thespian with a passion for overacting. What's even worse, thanks to director Brad Silberling and production designer Rick Heinrichs, the tots of ''Lemony Snicket'' inhabit a spooky world of cavernous mansions, stuffed animal heads, oversize serpents, and other gloomy touches. ''In [Daniel Handler's] novels the city is capitalized: THE CITY,'' says Silberling. ''And so the city in which our kids live is every city. Somewhat Edwardian and a bit of what we were calling New England Gothic. Basically, Rick and I went out into the real world and stole what we wanted [for] our world.'' Inspiration was found in everything from streets in the Boston enclave of Charlestown to shots of derelict Detroit houses seen in old picture books. The resulting visuals are soaring and scary, darkly comic, and just plain dark. ''There's a Dickensian aura over these children,'' says Heinrichs. ''They're at the mercy of these adults, who range from murderous to, at the very best, harmless but useless. We wanted the visuals to reflect that.''
Count Olaf's manse (pictured) presented one of the biggest design challenges of the film. Silberling and Heinrichs wanted something that appeared to have once been grand but now lies in tatters. ''We thought, This is a place that — through nefarious means — he inherited but has never had the funds to keep up,'' says Silberling. ''He's probably burned every stick of furniture [in the fireplace].'' Keep an eye out for the grand staircase: Silberling is a huge fan of the Carol Reed classic The Third Man and says, ''It's a little tip, architecturally, to that movie. We basically stole it.''
Forced perspective played a critical role in the production, as evidenced by the railroad crossing (pictured) where Olaf attempts to have the siblings killed by an oncoming train, and the street scene. But the devil is in the details. ''We had fun with the small stuff,'' says Heinrichs. ''Like Olaf's car. We put a reel-to-reel tape deck into the dashboard. You can only imagine how hard it is to drive and change reels.''[/list]

Volume 17 Issue 26 | Nov. 19 - 25, 2004
Free bird: Animal rescue has Cornelia St. aflutter
Terry J. Allen
I know, I know. Its only a pigeon. But there it was gray and ordinary as crumpled newspaper, at eye level on the building across Cornelia St. from my apartment. On second glance I realized it hanging upside down like a bat from the cornice between the fifth and sixth floors. Pretty cute trick. And standing over it as if appreciating the acrobatic performance was a black pigeon jerking its head, pacing back and forth, and peering down as all of a sudden the gray pigeon flapped its wings. It was instantly clear that the bird was trapped, helpless, its feet tangled in some wire netting set out on the top of the cornice. It was swaying slightly in the wind.
I know, I know. People are dying by the hundreds in Iraq, by the tens of thousands in Darfur, but the sight of the pigeon was not only wrenchingly pathetic in itself, but in these post-election days, it felt like a terrible metaphor for something grim, desperate and all too human. It did not bear close examination.
It demanded action even at the risk of appearing like a sentimental girlie girl. To bat away that miserable image, I grabbed a fireplace poker the snag the wiring that trapped the bird and a towel, to hide the poker Who would open the door to someone carrying a poker? and to put over the bird so I could disentangle the wire if I could reach it. I went down my five flights and managed to slip into the building across the street as someone was leaving. Then up to the sixth floor where I knocked on the door of the apartment with the window closest to the pigeon. No answer. Down and over to the next building; same scenario.
I went and consulted my neighbor Alice, frail and tenderhearted as Bambi. She looked up at the dangling gray bird and the pacing black one, and we decided to risk ridicule and call the A.S.P.C.A. The man who answered was very polite, but said there were only two officers. He would add the distressed pigeon to a list getting to it right after hell freezes over, we suspected. And who could blame him? It was only a pigeon.
As Alice and I sat there wondering what next, we called up the childhood storybook image of our friend the fireman rescuing a mewing kitten from a sun-dappled suburban tree. What the heck, its not an adorable kitten, but you never know.
I trotted over to the station, the one on Sixth Ave. and Houston St., to tell my tale. Really, Im not a nut, I began, trying not to sound like a nut. The firemen listened. One of them, Sgt. Kevin Lynch, suppressing a smirk, not a mean smirk, but an impossible-to-repress good-natured smirk, heard me out. Yeah, he said, Im no pigeon lover, but yeah.
After they gave a tour to some school kids, they would be over, Lynch promised. And they were, hook and ladder and all. Chad Marrone, followed by Shreko Shrek Savic climbed the ladder to the sixth floor as the trapped pigeons black companion fled to the other end of the cornice. Marrone snagged the bird, which fluttered briefly in his hands and then went still as he disentangled it. From my fire escape perch across the street, I saw Marrone look down at Savic and say the single word, shredded. Then Marrone laid the limp bird back on the narrow ledge and climbed down.
You want a happy ending dont you? Me too, but for more than an hour the dingy pigeon lay motionless on the ledge. The black bird stood at a distance and finally flew away.

Box Score
PORTLAND – In a season that has been punctuated by statement games and big road wins, this may be the biggest statement yet for Pacific football.
P.J. Minaya (Jr., Wahiawa, Hawaii) broke school records with 442 passing yards and 454 yards of total offense Saturday, throwing for four touchdowns and rushing for a fifth as he led a record offensive day for the Boxers in a 42-20 rout of Lewis & Clark in the Pioneers' homecoming Northwest Conference football game at Griswold Stadium.
Minaya picked up the 442 passing yards while completing 21 of 32 passes, averaging just over 21 yards per completion. Kelson Kawai (Jr., North Kohala, Hawaii) proved his favorite target, catching five balls for 161 yards and scoring bombs of 42 yards, 49 yards and 59 yards in the second half.
The effort allowed Minaya to break the passing record of 405 yards set by teammate T.C. Campbell (Jr., Kaimuki, Hawaii) against Menlo in the last game of the 2010 season. Minaya's 454 yards of total offense smashed the previous record of 411 yards set by Pacific hall of fame Ralph Nickerson against Whitman in 1975.
As a team, the Boxers (3-4, 2-2 NWC) amassed an incredible 607 yards of total offense, eclipsing the record of 587 yards set against Whitman in 1972. The Boxers' 442 passing yards broke the record of 405 set during the Menlo game in 2010.
"Anytime you are able to drop back and have that kind of success throwing the ball down the field, it comes down to the protection. P.J. had all day to get set and find his receivers," said Pacific Head Coach Keith Buckley. "We have always said that P.J. has been very capable of being a starting quarterback and he showed it again today."
Buckley said while he was happy with the record offensive effort, he was even more impressed with how the team surged in the second half. "The best thing that came from today was that we wanted a game that was close at halftime and that we had to finish and win," he said. "We opened the second half, they scored on the first play and we had ourselves a ball game. The guys absolutely responded well to that challenge. It was something we had not done before and it was a tremendous step forward for our program."
Caleb Roher (So., Gresham, Ore.) finished with 207 all-purpose yards, catching seven passes for 150 and running for 48 yards on a pair of kick returns. In addition, the Boxers finished with 165 yards of rushing, led by 61 yards by Gunther Schultze (Jr., Bellflower, Calif.).
Lewis & Clark (4-4, 1-4 NWC) dropped their fourth straight game and suffered their first loss to the Boxers since 1985. Dynamic quarterback Keith Welch completed 28 of 50 passes for 391 yards and a touchdown, but was intercepted three times. Evan Stanbro caught 11 passes for 231 yards and a touchdown.
While the Pioneers amassed 442 yards of total offense, their vaunted running game continued to suffer. L&C finished with just 42 yards on the ground and the Boxers limited Welch to just 17 yards and one touchdown on four carries. The Pacific defense stopped the Pioneers five times in Boxers' territory, forced three turnovers when L&C was in the red zone and forced a total of five turnovers.
Pacific also benefited from the defensive kicking game. Aaron Koford (Jr., Wilsonville, Ore.) averaged 40.5 yards per punt on six punts, landed four inside the L&C 20-yard line and had a long kick of 46 yards.
"When you are going against a team that can put up a lot of points, to make those kind of stops, especially late in the game, is a big step," Buckley said. "We are getting ourselves off the field when we need to. And when you force five turnovers, that sets you up to have a good chance to win the game."
Pacific opened the game with a clock-milking 62-yard drive that lasted nearly six minutes. Moses Villareal-Gomez (So., Stockton, Calif.) capped the drive with a 16-yard field goal at the 9:12 mark of the first quarter. The Boxers' defense made their first big stop with 3:02 left in the quarter as they forced Welch into an intentional grounding call in his own end zone. By the rule, Pacific earned the safety and went ahead 5-0.
A 24-yard return on the ensuing free kick gave the Boxers the ball near midfield, and two plays later he found Heron Azevedo (Jr., Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) for a 42-yard touchdown pass that gave Pacific an 11-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The Pioneers got on the board early in the second quarter when Welch ran the ball in himself from a yard out to complete a 70-yard drive to make it 11-7. Pacific responded with 5:26 to go in the half when Minaya scored on his own one-yard keeper that put the Boxers up 18-7. The Boxers were forced to punt on their next series, but Chase Rogers (So., Lahiana, Hawaii) record Josh Cena's fumbled return at the L&C 12-yard line. Villareal-Gomez finished it off with a 20-yard field goal to make it 21-7 with 36 seconds left.
Lewis & Clark did not lay down, scoring on the following kickoff when Logan Kotzian ran back 99 yards for the touchdown and the Pioneers went into halftime trailing 21-14.
The Pioneers scored again on the first drive of the second half as Welch found Stanbro for a 69-yard scoring pass. Simon Monley missed the extra point, though, and L&C still trailed 21-20. As it happened, it would be the last time L&C scored as the wheels quickly came off the Pioneers' wagon.
Minaya responded by finding Kawai for a 59-yard touchdown strike on the third play of the next drive to put the Boxers back up 28-20. The Pioneers fumbled and were forced to punt on their next two possessions before Minaya hooked up with Kawai again for a 42-yard scoring pass. With just six minutes gone in the third, the Boxers had gone from up just one point to a commanding 35-20 lead.
Pacific closed scoring early in the fourth quarter as Minaya found Kawai for a 49-yard scoring pass with 13:14 left. The Pioneers had the ball twice in inside the Pacific 20-yard line in the fourth, but both possessions ended with interceptions by Bryan Mills (Jr., Imbler, Ore.) and Brandon Harms (So., Canby, Ore.).
Tim Hastie (Jr., Auberry, Calif.) led the Pacific defense with nine tackles, including one for loss, while Jaquari People (Fr., Merced, Calif.) and Josh Brinkworth (So., Elk Grove, Calif.) each had five tackles. Mills had two of the Boxers' three interceptions and forced a fumble. Jon Bielawicz led Lewis & Clark with 11 tackles. Joe Kopp and Andrew Traver each had 10 tackles.
Pacific returns home next weekend to wrap up the 2012 home portion of their schedule, hosting Willamette on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Live audio and video webcasts of the game can be accessed as www.goboxers.com/webcasts. Lewis & Clark will have a bye next weekend before ending the season on Nov. 10 at Whitworth.

Yes, I realize that saying this is the best Taylor Swift cover ever created is a pretty bold statement – but it's also so, so true. The acapella group Walk Off The Earth made an acapella version of T Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" and I'm not even trying to sound like a hater when I say it's about 90 percent better than the original song. It's so good. They even managed to incorporate the dubstep sound, so I'm seriously impressed. I've already spent the majority of my morning listening to this, and I'm sure my afternoon will be spent the same way.

Someone has found the manual to Sun's Ultra 40 - which hasn't even been announced yet. The machine clearly is the bigger brother of the Ultra 20. It apparently sports two AMD Opteron processors (single or dualcore; 2.0Ghz or faster; 1MB cache), eight PC3200 DIMM slots (2GB per DIMM), and more. It will come pre-loaded with Solaris 10 (obviously) but RedHat/SUSE Linux Enterprise/Windows are also supported, in both 32bit and 64bit.

Richard Marshall has been dealing with a back ailment for a couple of weeks now. His play, frankly, has shown signs of those problems because it has not been training camp good.
Marshall was limited in practice Wednesday and today he's not practicing at all. He wasn't even on the field. Nolan Carroll is taking his place as the next guy up.
The troubling thing about that? Carroll was also limited in practice Wednesday with an Achilles' issue. So he's not at 100 percent, either.
That's not good news.
Reggie Bush is making some progress in that he did a few individual drills early in the open part of today's media session but his participation today is limited. The Dolphins are reporting him as practicing on a limited basis. He's still not 100 percent nor is he participating like he is.
And here is a harsh truth:
Because the Dolphins have tons more depth running back than they do at cornerback, because the Cardinals can threaten Miami so much with Larry Fitzgerald, who is last week's NFC Offensive Player of the Week, the absence of Marshall would be much more painful for the Dolphins to overcome than Bush.
