MLB is close to moving the Mets three-game series, June 28-30, to San Juan, Puerto Rico. The series is scheduled to be in Miami. There had been talk of a Mets-Marlins series in Puerto Rico a few years ago.
I've posted a new poll on if the Mets played Pineiro properly.

DELAYED option for the
INSERT statement is a MySQL
extension to standard SQL. In previous versions of MySQL, it can
be used for certain kinds of tables (such as
MyISAM), such that when a client uses
INSERT DELAYED, it gets an okay
from the server at once, and the row is queued to be inserted
when the table is not in use by any other thread.
DELAYED inserts and replaces were deprecated
in MySQL 5.6. In MySQL 8.0,
DELAYED is not supported. The server
recognizes but ignores the
DELAYED keyword,
handles the insert as a nondelayed insert, and generates an
ER_WARN_LEGACY_SYNTAX_CONVERTED warning
("INSERT DELAYED is no longer supported. The statement was
converted to INSERT"). The
keyword is scheduled for removal in a future release.
INSERT DELAYED is treated as normal INSERT if a column has defined TRIGGER (AFTER or BEFORE INSERT).
I found a bug about that and some comment regarding missing doc info, about this behaviour: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=32220

Dynamic Coursework
At the heart of the Initiatives program are an array of courses designed to introduce students to the value and excitement of liberal inquiry.
FYI (First-Year Initiatives) seminars
All first-year students enroll in an FYI seminar (average class size: 16). Described by one participant as "combination safety net and trampoline," FYI seminars are not just orientation sessions, but full-fledged courses that focus on a broad range of fascinating topics through the study of which students develop core skills and encounter multiple perspectives. Each group of students constitutes a learning community, and each seminar leader also becomes the students' advisor in the liberal arts for their first two years at Beloit College. The program focuses on the development of the whole student through a set of learning objectives that lie at the intersection of academic, social, and personal development.
"Transformational Works" and "Enduring Questions" courses
These completely optional courses are designed to awaken students' intellectual curiosity and enhance their understanding and practice of the liberal arts. Faculty model liberal inquiry through teaching about the issues and works that excite them most, because deeply engaged teachers engage their students deeply, as well. "Transformational Works" courses focus on involving students in the excitement of liberal inquiry, and on helping them to develop higher-order reading and discussion skills. "Enduring Questions" courses address fundamental questions or controversies from different disciplinary perspectives, and focus on exploring how a liberal arts education furthers understanding of complex issues.

Timeframeshttp://timeframes.natlib.govt.nz/National Library of New ZealandReviewed by: Kirsten McKenzieUniversity of Sydney September 2003
Timeframes currently presents more than 21,000 images from the Alexander Turnball Library. The picture collections specialize in the social and natural history of New Zealand, the Pacific, and Antarctica "from the earliest European contact to the present." Most of the material in Timeframes, however, dates from before 1947. Since the site is being continually updated, the number of available images will grow.
Although Timeframes is set up to allow images to be ordered for reproduction, this does not preclude the site being used as a teaching resource. The site is clearly laid out and simple to use, although the lack of editorial guidance through the large image collection is a drawback. Searches bring up a list of thumbnail images and titles. Clicking on the picture provides a larger version of the image. Clicking on the title provides the full descriptive record from the library's electronic catalog.
There are two ways to access images—searching or browsing. The advanced search function allows users to restrict images by terms such as "image type," "subject," or "iwi/hapu" (Maori concepts that refer to people/tribe affiliation). The search help provides general guidance on searching as well as specific information on each search term. "Browse" presents alphabetical lists of subject topics, from "Abduction-England" (an 1844 poster advertising a musical burletta) to "Zulu (African People)" (a 1930s watercolor by artist Eileen Mayo).
This is a very diverse site that could be used in a variety of teaching situations. The images are generally of good quality and can be saved electronically for use in lecture presentations. Unlike similar sites such as PictureAustralia, there has been no editorial arrangement of the images beyond the browse function. To some extent, users who know what they are looking for will be able to use the site more easily. The browse feature is particularly useful since it sets out the diverse subjects covered by Timeframes.
Using the browse feature as a guide, images from New Zealand and the broader Pacific region could be incorporated into world history courses in a thematic way. Some subject headings are particularly helpful for comparative work, such as "World War, 1939-1945" or "Trade Unions." But the browse feature also includes subjects that might not immediately occur to students or teachers, such as "Afternoon tea," which presents a series of images that speak to the colonial use of space and landscape through social rituals. These could be analyzed by students across diverse examples of transplanted cultures on a global scale.
A recent publication of use to teachers of world history is A History of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.1 This presents the history of New Zealand thematically, connecting it to broader trends within the surrounding region.

AiG's Creation Museum is being challenged once again by the secularists, this time in the renowned magazine Scientific American.
Answers in Genesis–USA is in the process of building a one-of-a-kind Creation Museum near Cincinnati, Ohio.
In this day and age, an effective museum cannot be solely an attractive building with artifacts and text-heavy signs on the walls, it must be designed and developed as 'edu-tainment.'
Answers in Genesis would like to thank the many people who have been praying for the progress of the Creation Museum, under construction in Kentucky, USA.
AiG has successfully completed all of the preliminary permit requirements, and has the site plan approval in hand for the Creation Museum in NOrthern Kentucky, USA.
The construction of the Creation Museum is humming along.
It is estimated that fish and insects make up less than half a percent of the total fossils found.
I wanted to give you a glimpse of what will be in store for people when it finally opens here in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area.
The Lord has blessed AiG's Creation Museum project with the addition of Patrick Marsh.
In spite of ongoing efforts to thwart the building of the Creation Museum, the work continues on the museum site, and the exhibit planning is moving ahead full speed at the home office.
The Sierra Club argued that a proposed wastewater treatment facility for AiG's museum would affect water quality of nearby creek.
A Kentucky chapter of The Sierra Club has called for a public hearing to be held regarding the creation museum.
AiG supporters are commenting positively about the future Creation Museum and Family Discovery Center near Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.
The best way for you to keep up-to-date on the construction of AiG's Bible-proclaiming Creation Museum and Family Discovery Center near Cincinnati, Ohio USA is to visit this Web site often.
It was a wonderful, yes, exhilarating time of celebration as we fellowshipped with the 600-plus AiG supporters who gathered for the groundbreaking ceremony at the site of AiG's future Creation Museum.
Freezing rain and a cold wind did not daunt the more than 600 AiG supporters who traveled from several states to participate in the March 17 groundbreaking ceremony for AiG's future Creation Museum.
"Dinosaurs in the making!" is the headline of 'Baptist Bulletin' magazine, the official publication of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches.
A Cincinnati, Ohio family–who has a passion for proclaiming Biblical truths–is donating the largest gift yet to AiG's future $14 million Creation Museum and Family Discovery Center: $1 million.
I must admit that, at times, the dream seemed more like a "nightmare." But I can tell you it's no longer just a dream any more.
A charity golf tournament to benefit AiG's Creation Museum—and an auction of sports memorabilia—netted over $35,000 on October 22–23 in Louisville, Kentucky (USA).
Ed Kagin, an attorney who originally led the opposition to AiG's Creation Museum made a remarkable admission to the Kentucky Post in a front-page feature story (August 12th).
The prominent sign was put up just before AiG's June 17 land dedication ceremony.
Over 250 people gathered on muddy ground and braved stormy conditions on June 17 to join AiG staff for a ceremony dedicating the site of the future home of AiG's Creation Museum.
The award-winning architectural firm of A.M. Kinney Associates will be the lead architect for the 95,000-square-foot Creation Museum and headquarters complex for Answers in Genesis
We have been saddened recently by two rather negative commentaries posted on the Prison Fellowship/Breakpoint website concerning Answers in Genesis and our future Creation Museum.
No results found in Creation Museum News.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Coach Rick Barnes and the Texas Longhorns are going to their 14th consecutive NCAA tournament.
The Longhorns (20-13), who have never missed the NCAA tournament under Barnes, will be playing in the East Region. They are the No. 11 seed and will face Cincinnati (24-10) of the Big East on Friday in Nashville, Tenn.
Texas reached 20 wins for the 13th consecutive season by beating Iowa State, another NCAA team, in the Big 12 tournament. That likely solidified getting the Longhorns into the NCAA tournament before they lost to Missouri in the Big 12 semifinals.
The 14 straight NCAA tournament appearances for Texas is a school record and tied for the fourth most behind Kansas, Duke and Michigan State.

Skeletor blasts into space, in retreat from his confrontation with He-Man on Denebria (in issue 3). He is joined by Flogg in another shuttle pod. Skeletor ponders his next move, and with a few calculations, he kicks his plot into high gear.
He-Man and Kayo are preparing to return the crystal to Primus' Titus Observatory, when the captured Slushhead, Optikk, and their Terroclaw vanish in a burst of mystic energies. He-Man correctly assumes that Skeletor is behind this. Another mayday message from Primus erupts over the radio, reporting that the planet has only an hour before it self-destructs in a cataclysmic explosion! Quickly taking command, He-Man organizes the Galactic Guardians and their small fleet of space ships jet towards Primus.
On Primus, the Terroclaw and its passengers rematerialize at the Titus Observatory, transported by Skeletor. He has beaten He-Man and crew to the observatory and proceeds to take it over. The mutants make short work of the valiant, but ultimately pathetic, observatory technicians.
Within the observatory, Slushhead notes that this is where he and Optikk stole the crystal, indicating a large generator. Skeletor intercepts a radio message from He-Man aboard starship Eternia, and proceeds to deliver a fake distress message. Skeletor plans to have He-Man return the Trifusium Crystal.
He-Man realizes that the radio message is a trap. Regardless, the crystal must be returned to Titus Observatory as time is running out for Primus! Starship Eternia lands near the observatory, and as He-Man and the Galactic Guardians approach the building, they are confronted by Skeletor, and the Mutants. The Guardians make short work of the mutants, leaving He-Man alone to face Skeletor.
With only minutes left in the countdown to Primus' doom, Skeletor viciously attacks He-Man, beating him with his Skull Staff. Sixty seconds from apocalypse, He-Man manages to say "By the power of Eternia!" and knocks Skeletor down with a tremendous blow. Retrieving the crystal with ten seconds left, He-Man makes a mad dash for the Trifusium generator. The generator hums back to life, and Skeletor and his defeated Mutants retreat.
As the Galactic Guardians and observatory techs express their gratitude to He-Man for saving their world, Skeletor speeds away from Primus in his shuttle pod. "You think you've won, He-Man?" he mutters. "Never! My evil deeds are just beginning!" And as his wicked laughter echoes through space, we can see that his destination is Nordor, Denebria's skull-faced moon.
The End?
1989, Series 1.
Packaged with Flogg and Optikk. Was NOT packaged with Slushhead.

Tokyoflash Galaxy Watch
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Wearables, Misc. Tech
Tokyoflash has another new and confusing timepiece. The Galaxy works by one touch, which starts animation and then displays the time on digital tube LEDs. The 12 yellow bars are the hours, the 11 red bars are groups of 5 minutes, and the 4 green bars represent each minute. Press the lower button and forgo the animation. Available in silver, the Galaxy carries a price of ¥13,900 (~$132.85.) We have been telling you about Tokyoflash's watches for so long that we think we almost have the hang of it.

Funny things happen when you travel. Sometimes you board the plane and sit on the tarmac for hours. Sometimes you see the plane you are supposed to be on taxiing away from the gate just as you land. Sometimes through sheer serendipity, you encounter Carli Lloyd in the Philadelphia International Airport.
On a sweltering Wednesday afternoon in the City of Brotherly Love, that's just what happened. Carli, on her way back to Atlanta to continue the WPS season with the Atlanta Beat, was kind enough to speak with me for several minutes and agreed to a follow-up interview for The Rally Cap. Check out what the star of the United State's Women's National Team had to say:
The Rally Cap: Your favorite players are Xavi, Lionel Messi and Cesc Fàbregas; do you model your game after any of those players? Or is there another inspiration for the way you play?
Carli Lloyd: Over the years I have grown tremendously and I have started to become a true playmaker like Xavi. Linking passes, short passes, long passes, being tricky, taking shots etc.
RC: Who's your favorite athlete, other than a soccer player?
CL: Michael Jordan because he was the ultimate champion.
RC: Since establishing yourself as a starter in 2007, what has been your most memorable moment with the USWNT?
CL: The final game in the 2008 Olympics and earning my 100th cap against Italy on November 27, 2010
RC: Not since 1999, has women's soccer had such a buzz. What is it about this team, this group of women that captured the hearts and minds of the American public?
CL: Well to start with I think soccer had grown tremendously across the world and our dramatic game against Brazil captivated millions of people. I think that was the start of people really following us and we gave people hope and inspired young kids. We helped the nation believe in something, believe in a team and everyone was so proud of us. Our team showed heart and dedication to never give up.
RC: The US-Japan game was the most watched soccer game on ESPN in their history. Do you think the interest in the USWNT will translate into domestic success for the WPS?
CL: Wow, that is crazy! I knew we broke a lot of records but when I read that it makes me smile. We are already seeing instant results on the WPS side. Ticket sales have increased across the board. Our game today (Note: Saturday July 23 against Abby Wambach, Hope Solo and magicjack) is sold out. The game the other night had a record crowd of 15k so it's helping.
RC: After the emotional rollercoaster that was the World Cup, how do you and the other members of the USWNT move forward?
CL: We have to move forward. It's been hard to swallow but at the end of the day we accomplished so much. We reached the final. We have Olympic qualifying soon and have to mentally shift our focus to that.
RC: The next big event is the 2012 Olympics. What team(s) do you think will present the biggest challenge to the US defending its title? Any dark horses (teams that didn't make the quarters of the World Cup)?
CL: First of all we have to qualify for the Olympics. When we do that every team will propose a challenge. It won't be easy as everyone can see from the World Cup. Germany will not be in the Olympics but there are so many other strong teams. (Note: Germany did not qualify because UEFA used the 2011 Women's World Cup as its qualifier. As a result, France and Sweden both qualified for the 12 team tournament)
RC: You're from New Jersey, what is it about that state that produces great soccer players (Tony Meola, Michael Bradley, Claudio Reyna, Heather O'Reilly, Giuseppe Rossi, Christie Rampone)?
CL: I am not sure what it is about NJ being a power house with soccer players. I think because we are tough and we are fighters. It's in our blood. It's great to see.
RC: You grew up outside of Philadelphia, so being a fellow Philly-area native, I have to ask – who has the best cheesesteaks in Philly?
CL: Honestly a small place by my house has the best ones! BJ's Deli. The Philly cheesesteaks are too much for me!
RC: Growing up, what was the best piece of advice you received, whether soccer-related or not? And do you have any words of advice for aspiring soccer players?
CL: Work hard at everything you do. Never give up. Never quit. Many people have talents but without the hard work you won't get anywhere.

Transfer News: Former Chelsea star Frank Lampard joins Manchester City in loan move
Last Updated: 04/08/14 12:08pm
Manchester City have secured former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard on a six-month loan deal.
The 36-year-old will join up with his new City teammates on Wednesday and will be at the Etihad Stadium until January.
It is a short-term move for Lampard who signed in July for New York City, the MLS club owned by Manchester City and baseball giants New York Yankees.
On Friday it was reported the club was in talks with Lampard's representatives and immediately after City's shoot-out defeat by Olympiakos in the US on Saturday, manager Manuel Pellegrini confirmed the move had been completed.
Pellegrini said: "From Wednesday, he will start working with us and play for us until January."
When asked if Lampard was acquired just to improve his fitness for the MLS campaign which begins in March, the Chilean added: "He's a member of the squad and he will fight for his position.
"He knows we have a good team and we have a lot of games in the Champions League so he's very important for our team."
It had initially been thought the player had agreed an autumn switch to join City's sister side Melbourne City where he would play alongside New York City teammate David Villa to improve his fitness and so this news will be a disappointment to Australian football fans.
It was also confirmed that Lampard would be available for the Premier League showdown with his old club Chelsea on Sunday, September 21.
On this fixture, Pellegrini added: "I will talk about that with him but he is a player for Manchester City and he will play every game that he needs to play."
He (Lampard) knows we have a good team and we have a lot of games in the Champions League so he's very important for our team.
Manuel Pellegrini
This may raise some eyebrows at Stamford Bridge, with the England midfielder suggesting last year he would not play for another top-flight club in England.
He said in May 2013: "I can't imagine playing for anyone else after being 12 years at Chelsea. I've got a lot of respect for a lot of other Premier League clubs, particularly the top ones, but I'm not sure I could have done that."
Lampard scored 211 goals in 649 matches for Chelsea, becoming the club's record goalscorer and winning 11 major trophies in the process but was released by the club at the end of the season.
Lampard, who signed a two-year deal with New York City on July 24, is still considering his England future.
Sky Sports News football reporter Kaveh Solhekol was at Pellegrini's news conference at the TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Saturday, and said that even a player of Lampard's stature would have his work cut out to earn a starting place amid stiff competition.
"According to Pellegrini, this is not a PR stunt," said Solhekol.
"Lampard is not moving to Manchester to sell shirts or to stay fit. He is moving to Manchester to fight for his place and to play at the highest levels of European football for at least another five months.
"The fight to get into the City starting XI is going to be quite a challenge, even for a player who has won every major club trophy in the European game.
"City have arguably the strongest midfield in English football. Next season, Pellegrini will be able to choose from Yaya Toure, Fernando, Fernandinho, Lampard, David Silva, Samir Nasri, James Milner, Jesus Navas, Javi Garcia, Jack Rodwell and Scott Sinclair.
"Keeping all those players happy - if they all stay at City - will be a difficult, but Pellegrini is convinced that City need strength in depth to compete on four fronts next season."
Pellegrini went on to confirm that Lampard would stay at City until January and he hinted that he was now going to concentrate on one more transfer deal.
That deal will almost certainly see France defender Eliaquim Mangala moving from Porto for about £30m.
"Our transfer business doesn't need to be completed today," Pellegrini said. "We have time to analyse the squad and see what needs to be done."

When Skip Smalls begged his parents for a dog, he should have been more specific. For his 10th birthday, they finally acquiesce and give him Bleeker ― a rechargeable dog equipped with Spock-like sensibilities and his own programmable training manual.
Skip is an average kid with an above-average dog. He struggles to enjoy dog ownership as he adapts to Bleeker's buggy operating system. While some dogs may chew shoes, Bleeker opens the garage door and turns off the TV when he scratches himself! As a result, Skip has technical support on speed dial. However, there are benefits to having a dog that is computer-literate and runs on batteries. Bleeker helps to keep accident-prone Skip out of harm's way and even assists him with his homework. Despite some glitches, Skip is learning a lot about his electronic dog ― and himself ― during the training process.
Created by Jonathan Mahood, Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog has its own built-in online audience and can easily be trained to run in newspapers. The strip ranks high as a favorite amongst online comics fans, who love the hi-tech hijinks of Skip and Bleeker. In the tradition of classic comics about a boy and his pet, Bleeker delivers, but with a 21st-century twist!
Skip is your average 10-year-old boy with an above average dog. Enthusiastically clumsy, Skip is easily excited and somewhat prone to accidental mishaps. He longs for the day when he finally proves to his parents that he can handle the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Until then, Skip treats Bleeker like a real dog, in spite of his low battery life and quirky operating system.
Given as a birthday gift to Skip from his parents, Bleeker is a different breed of dog altogether. He is a rechargeable dog, who can play fetch and do tricks like any other dog … but only after an eight-hour charge. Bleeker is a walking cell phone, iPod, camera, printer, smoke detector, global positioning system and scanner all rolled into one nifty device/gadget.
Lila is Skip's other best friend and neighbor. While Bleeker operates on batteries, Lila runs on pure adrenaline. She is a tomboy who excels at sports and loves to skateboard. Smarter and more coordinated than Skip, she stands by stoically as he learns to understand and program his remote-controlled yet loyal companion.
Karl is a domestic cleaning robot that resides in the Smalls residence. He is very focused on his vacuuming responsibilities and gets very cranky when circumstances and/or people (i.e. the often clueless and very messy Skip) interfere with his ability to do his primary function. Karl rarely leaves the house, so he enjoys robot shop-talk with Bleeker.

General Description
The Emperor represents the structure-giving element, our desire for stability, security, and continuity. He shows our striving for independence from the conditionality of nature in all of its incalculability. He is the equivalent of our drive for civilization with which we build houses, heating and air conditioning systems to protect ourselves from heat, cold, and rain; cars and airplanes so that we can travel more comfortably and quickly than is possible on foot; and schools in order to secure a certain level of education. That too much of a good thing is sometimes done here should not stop us from appreciating properly the positive sides of this often distrustfully regarded card. The Emperor points out our sense of order, sobriety, discipline, responsibility, and pragmatic conduct, as well as the exaggeration thereof in the form of rigidity, lifelessness, perfectionism, a thirst for power, and an iron show of strength.

Cops issue tickets for illegal gas containers
FAIRFIELD -- The warning signs are everywhere -- at the pumps, on the station doors and even on the electronic notification signs on Interstate 95: Gasoline can be transported only in certified, vented containers.
That, however, hasn't stopped people in Fairfield from trying to fill up large barrels and buckets with gas, among them out-of-staters from New York and New Jersey, where gas has been in short supply since Storm Sandy.
On Wednesday, a 33-year-old New York woman, Shawna Paul, was issued a misdemeanor summons for pumping gas into a 5-gallon bucket at the Cumberland Farms gas station at Post and Beach roads. Cumberland Farms employees saw what Paul was doing, according to the report and called police. Officers at the scene said they found the woman had pumped $150 worth of gas into her vehicle and the bucket, which was filled to the top with the potentially explosive liquid. After she was ticketed, the gas was safely transferred into her car's gas tank, police said.
Another incident took place Monday at the Fairfield Shell station, 1139 Post Road, when a passerby called police to report that a man was pumping gas into large barrels. Officers found that the man, a New York resident, pumping the gas into three barrels, including one that held 55 gallons. He said the gas station attendant looked at the containers and said it was OK. Fire Department officials were called to the scene, who confirmed that the barrels were not approved containers.
The $400 worth of gasoline was emptied back into the station's tanks, and station employee Mohd Awawdeh, 36, of Norwich, was issued a summons by police.
Since Sandy hit, Fire Department officials have visited Fairfield gas stations to remind them of the rules regarding use of the approved gasoline containers.

During the last week of September 2009, Typhoon Ondoy blasted the Philippines with the worst rainfall ever recorded in the area. Some parts recorded water levels more than 20 feet high, leading to mudslides and widespread loss of life and homes. Many of CFCAís families, both sponsored and staff, were affected.
CFCA responded by sending monies set aside for emergencies from our Disaster Assistance Fund. Because typhoons are so common, the Philippines projects also set aside funds in their budget for calamities.
The staff assessed the situations of the different families and put them in one of three groups: families who were homeless; families whose homes were still standing, but damaged, and whose belongings were gone; and those who had recovered some of their belongings. The families received food, clothing, medicine, housing materials and livelihood replacement funds, according to their needs.
After the water receded and rebuilding began, Paul Pearce, director of International Programs, visited the projects and was given a surprise and heartwarming gift. Four youth in the Manila/Antipolo projects created a massive and beautiful thank-you card that was meant to send appreciation to CFCA for all of the support they received. Signed by roughly 200 people, it represents the families who were helped by CFCA special funds.
The card, done in the Japanese style of anime, depicts scenes from the flood such as brown water with debris floating in it, people salvaging things from their homes, and children in their school uniforms with their pants hiked up so as not to get their uniform dirty.
ìWhen I saw it, I knew I had to take it back to the office,î Paul said.
However, the card was too large to fit in any luggage or backpack. So, Paul decided to carry the card during the 8,000-mile journey. He wondered just how he would get through airport security with this oddity, but found people to be not only curious, but genuinely grateful to CFCA once they heard what the card was for.
ìWhen I reached the airport in Manila, at every security checkpoint the guards wanted to look at it and talk about it,î Paul said. ìWhen I was walking by shops in the airport, one of the shopkeepers told me that her house had flooded as well.î
Once in Japan the security guards were impressed with the artwork of the card. Flight attendants and fellow passengers were accommodating to Paul and his giant card.
ìInstead of being a hassle, it became a badge of honor,î Paul said. ìIt is a reminder of the special grace the Filipinos have. That in the middle of this disaster, they have the thoughtfulness to come together to make this thank-you card. They never stop amazing me by their resiliency and how they respond to hardships. Itís pretty humbling.î
The card arrived at CFCA headquarters unscathed and is on display.

AE swept by Hale
ARENAC EASTERN — Hale's volleyball team is on a roll, and continued to win Thursday at Arenac Eastern's expense.
Hale claimed a 25-13, 25-17, 25-12 victory at AE and, thanks to Atlanta's victory over Posen, moved into a first place tie with Posen for the top spot in the North Star League.
"The girls played great and had great team spirit," said Hale coach Heather Chrivia.
Hale dominated the first game, but AE opened the second game with a 4-0 run behind the serving of Chelsea Dery. But after Hale regained service, Shelby Rhein served nine straight points, before Briana Dery turned things around with a pair of kills for AE that keyed a 5-0 run. Eastern wasn't able to get any closer than 22-17 before Hale finished off the middle game.
Hale rolled out to a 16-6 lead before AE scored five points in a mini-comeback as they started to adjust to Hale's hitting.
"We had trouble blocking Hale; they're so good," said AE coach Hannah Neil. "But I felt like we figured out where we needed to be toward the end of the match.
Chelsea Dery had several blocks, though only twice was able to turn those into AE points as Hale finished with match with a 9-1 run.
Hale (9-5-1, 5-1 NSL) hosts Fairview on Tuesday and travels to Hillman on Thursday, Oct. 2.
Hale Stats: Tarra Caverly 3 aces, 6 digs, 8 kills; Liz Lerczak 10 kills, 5 digs; Laura Sidebottom 23 assists, 1 dig, 2 kills, 1 ace; Kelsey Reilly 100% serving, 5 digs, 5 kills; Stacey Eno 7 aces, 5 kills, 6 digs; Halley Wolkens 2 aces, 4 digs; Shelby Rhein 1 dig.
AE Stats: Isabel Karter 6 assists; Taylor Jurek 8 assists; Katrina Mahon 2 assists; Chelsea Dery 4 aces, 1 block, 4 spikes, 16 assists, 3 kills; Sara Wenkel 2 digs, 20 assists; Erin Ecker 3 digs, 3 tips, 20 assists, 2 kills; Morgan Heideman 3 digs, 7 assists; Briana Dery 2 aces, 3 digs, 5 assists; Laikin Berry 6 assists.

OAKLEY — Ironhouse Sanitary District officials have unanimously approved a solar energy project they say not only will reduce the agency's electricity bill but also will benefit rate payers.
Following a public hearing on the proposal Tuesday, directors agreed to approve a 25-year solar power purchase agreement with a company that installs, operates and maintains solar panels.
The venture would involve setting up 4,044 solar panels directly west of the wastewater treatment plant as well as on the roof of a carport adjoining the administrative and maintenance buildings.
Mounted on poles above the flood plain, the moving panels will follow the sun as it travels across the sky, converting that energy into electricity and enabling the district to save an estimated $6.5 million over the length of the contract.
Those kind of economies will enable Ironhouse Sanitary to forestall rate increases, said General Manager Tom Williams.
The sewage treatment plant currently uses about 5.5 megawatts of electricity at a cost of about $600,000 annually; the solar panels would generate about 1.1 megawatts, which Ironhouse Sanitary would buy for less than what it's paying Pacific Gas & Electric Co., Williams said.
"I don't see any (drawbacks) — it's really all upside," he said.
Installing the panels will require the district to reclaim about 4.5 acres that it has used to grow hay for local ranchers until now, Williams said.
But what it makes from selling the bales is minute compared with the money it will save, he said: $6.1 million on the treatment plant and $548,000 to power the two buildings.
The board has been considering using solar energy since it first held some informal meetings on the idea in March 2012.
However, it nixed the original idea of building its own system because it couldn't afford the millions in upfront costs to install the panels. Directors instead decided last year to find a vendor that would retain ownership of the technology and absorb those costs.
The idea is not to replace PG&E but to reduce the district's utilities bill during those daytime and seasonal periods of peak demand when electricity is most expensive, Williams said.
Solar panels are costly, so it doesn't make sense to install so many that there's a risk of generating more electricity than Ironhouse Sanitary needs, a surplus that it might only be able to sell for a pittance, Williams said.
Although the agreement calls for the district's bills to go up by 2.8 percent per year to cover the cost of inflation, Williams says it's still a better deal: Based on the rates that California utilities companies have charged their commercial customers for electricity over the past three decades, Ironhouse Sanitary projects that PG&E charges will increase by 4.5 percent annually over the next 25 years.
If approved, the solar panels would be up and working by this fall, Williams said.

Such is the case with Eric Sage.
In addition to solo work, he fronts several bands, including Bon Jovi tribute 1970s and 1980s cover band Lixx and two corporate bands, Heat and Dirty Birds.
He is also frontman for the Bay City Rollers featuring Ian Mitchell, but even being occupied with so many musical projects, tennis is his first love. He came to music late in life, through misfortune, but tennis has always been a driving force.
So much so that he has recently published a new book, "The Magic Key To Tennis — 1 Thru 10 System" and started a reality website series called "Tennis Like a Rock Star"
Sage first arrived in San Diego from Canada in 1985 to train as a tennis professional. Within a few years, that dream was cut short.
"I was a player on the pro tour and was a passenger in a car accident. Basically, my career ended. I was 24 and I had a world ranking. And I thought, 'What the heck am I going to do with my life?"
A life in music became his alternative to a life in tennis.
"My heart and soul I always loved music, but I was 25 and had never been involved in anything like that," he said. "So I decided to teach tennis in Los Angeles by day and study vocals and piano composition for five or six hours into the night. I did that for 12 years."
Now an established musician with decades of experience behind him,
Sage joined up with the Bay City Rollers featuring Ian Mitchell in 2008, via a nationwide search for a front man.
"They saw an online video and called me in for an audition," he said. "It just clicked that day. We went out and talked and they asked me to join."
The band is on a short hiatus, but work has begun on an album with originals.
"We've only played nationwide so far, but hopefully with a new album we can go farther," he said. Sage said he is thrilled with the heavy work load.
"I just love music so I wanted to make it my full-time passion. It's not really a job for me, but somehow, I get paid for playing all over the country," he said.
While music is his main occupation, tennis remains important to him. His new book shows his efforts to combine elements of both.
"While I was studying music, I was also teaching select students and celebrities like George Clooney and Alec Baldwin. I was trying to figure out ways to help my students and I had a breakthrough about a connection between my two passions," he said.
Taking the music and tennis combination one step further is Sage's webseries, "Tennis Like A Rockstar," with the first two episodes available online.
"We're hoping to shop it around after we get a few more episodes in the can," he said.
Of all the different aspects of the projects Sage is currently involved in, he cites performing as his favorite.
"I enjoy all types of music, but what I love most is entertaining," he said. "It all started when I would go to concerts as a kid and I would watch certain performers on stage and just be blown away. And I would think to myself, I want to be doing this, not watching it."

Wabash Alums Excited About Programby Howard W. Hewitt • December 22, 2008 Share:
Wabash graduates who have found successful careers in business and leaders of current business-related programs are praising the new Wabash Business Leadership Program.
President Patrick White announced a $375,000 Lilly Endowment Inc. grant on December 9, which will create the Business Leadership Program. The Lilly grant will be matched with $1.52 million in institutional funds to develop the program over a five-year period. Lu Hamilton, who has worked with the marketing and business immersion programs, will be working to assure the program's success.
Many alumni have been active in business development activities at Wabash and several were important in helping the College develop the new program. They are now praising the next step.
"I felt a leadership/business program would be a great complement to the liberal arts education," said Brian Clem '04. "I believe a liberal arts education is the best background to bring into business. The education I received at Wabash enabled me to think critically and holistically about the problems I encountered in the business world in a way that a more narrowly-focused education would not have allowed. However, it was as a recruiter back on campus that I really started feeling the need for such a program."
The program could help address the wants and needs of many young men who apply for Wabash admission.
The program will combine courses currently in the business sequence with many other business-related programs and activities already in place.
"When I think about combining a normal Wabash education with a Wabash business education, I can only imagine the leaders that will be produced and what the future holds," said Roland Morin '91, who runs his own marketing business and teaches the spring marketing immersion class. "Wabash has a unique opportunity to position itself as a training ground for the next generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs.
"The BLP will allow Wabash another unique selling point to attract young men who want to be prepared to compete in the marketplace against graduates from formal business schools."
Clem, who works for Eli Lilly and Co. and is currently on leave working on his MBA at Stanford, said it's the job search environment where the BLP will make a difference. "While Wabash students certainly have the analytical skills companies are looking for, some did not do as well in interviews because they lacked the business acumen of their peers. In some cases, Wabash students were at a disadvantage in the interview process simply because recruiters wanted to see a certain amount of 'business' education on applicants' resumes. I think the BLP will help polish off what is a great preparation for a career in business, and help market the students for jobs in the business world."
The unique combination of tradition classroom learning, internships, externships, and business programs is what will make the Wabash experience unique.
"This new program's combination of classes and co-curricular activities, such as immersions and internships, will allow students to learn to apply what's in the classroom to messy, real-world situations, just like the ones they will encounter in their careers," said Kathy Wise, who leads the eight-week summer business immersion program.
Morin has two years of experience leading students through the marketing immersion week and always comes away impressed. "The students come prepared, ask hard questions, and make connections between real life situations and marketing paradigms that take people who work in the business years to learn.
"The mix of classroom education, seminars, immersion programs, externships, internships, presentation skills and alumni interaction clearly demonstrates the BLP students will leave Wabash with a depth of understanding of 'real world' business experience that few programs, anywhere, can match."

Like any other analytical instrument, breathalyzers require periodic calibration to ensure their accuracy. Our pre-calibrated and field replaceable sensor module is a patent pending technology built in our new generation of breathalyzers that has resolved all problems and complications arising from otherwise existing calibration processes.
Calibration of a breathalyzer is a compensation for deviations in a sensor due to contamination and aging. The calibration process does not remove contamination but it makes up for any deviation of BAC step thresholds levels from previously calibrated levels.
Our experience has shown that multiple calibrations of the same semiconductor sensor eventually leads to failure and sensor replacement is required. This has been the main problem with using breathalyzers in critical applications. Unfortunately, the calibration process requires that the breathalyzer be physically mailed or taken to a professional service center, at which point the device must be evaluated and proper steps must be taken for calibration with an expensive breath alcohol simulator system. The process is costly for both consumer and the service center, not to mention the delays involved in processing and shipping back-and-forth that can be quite a loss.
The pre calibrated and field replaceable sensor module has eliminated delays and complications of a calibration process by allowing users to simply "snap out" an old sensor module and "snap in" a new module. Restoring accuracy to AlcoScan AL7000 takes a matter of seconds and it only costs $29.95 for each sensor module. This will restore the unit accuracy back to its condition as new from the factory.

Make-Your-Own Puzzle-Piece Tetris Furniture Designs
The configurations available to a designer using a four-piece grid are considerably varied, as the creators of the popular classic Tetris discovered long ago. It was only a matter of time before someone like Diego Silverio applied the same spatial tactics in real-life tetris furniture design.
The storage spaces provided in the individual pieces accommodate various sizes and shapes of items and create surfaces for setting objects on in the process. Their individual but coordinated colors reinforce their status as pieces as well as parts of a larger whole.
One of the greatest things about this is that you do not have to be a geek or have even heard of Tetris to appreciate the potential and ingenuity of this design strategy – though they are still conceptual it is easy to envision these available as cheap real-life dorm-room furniture options available at a local store.

It's a typical scenario in a stagnant economy: Companies lay off employees to cut costs and those employees sue their former employers—often as a class-action lawsuit—for discrimination. Huge settlements can result.
In this environment, companies have alternatives to protect themselves from significant financial risk. One answer for proactive human resources managers is employment practice audits, which provide a relatively low-cost way to nip problems in the bud before a potentially costly lawsuit is filed.
Audits allow employers to examine key workforce decisions including:
• Layoffs
• Promotions
• Base pay
• Merit increases
• Performance ratings
• Bonus and stock allocations
Human resources departments can also use audits to assess the potential impact these decisions have on protected class members. But how do you make sure your audit is effective? The following are the most common, and sometimes most costly, mistakes made when conducting employment practice audits:
1. Waiting until a discrimination claim is raised or filed to conduct an audit.
A key benefit of auditing is prevention. Conducting an audit before a discrimination claim is made puts employers in a proactive instead of a reactive position. Systematic record-keeping by the HR department through ongoing audits enables employers to respond more effectively when claims of discrimination are made or employment decisions challenged.
2. Not conducting audits on a regular basis.
Workforces are dynamic. Employees change jobs, acquire more experience, receive pay increases, move locations and continually flow into and out of a company. Consequently, it is important for a company to evaluate its workforce on an ongoing basis. HR best practices should dictate annual audits.
3. Waiting until decisions are made final before analyzing employment practice outcomes.
Even in a company with the best of intentions, it is possible to have a neutral or objective decision-making process that inadvertently has an adverse impact on a protected group of employees. Conducting an audit of workforce-related decisions allows HR professionals to proactively evaluate potential legal liabilities before decisions are final. "Real time" audits often examine merit increases, ratings, bonus allocations, stock grants and promotions during the annual review process or layoffs during a planned reduction in force.
4. Not protecting the confidentiality of the audit.
Before conducting an audit, employers should take steps to make sure the contents of the audit remain confidential. Working with experienced inside or outside counsel is critical to maintaining the privileged nature of the audit. Maintaining confidentiality will minimize the risk of materials generated during the audit process being used against the company in future litigation.
5. Not using appropriate analysis techniques.
When preparing analyses, it is important to identify "similarly situated" employees and to use generally accepted techniques. An experienced economic consultant can work with the HR department to develop the appropriate statistical models for examining employment decisions for potential disparities.
6. Not properly archiving data.
It is not uncommon for companies to do a good job of monitoring their workforce in real time, but they sometimes fail to keep copies of the underlying workforce data. Without proper record-keeping, replication of results for earlier time periods can be challenging if not impossible. Rebuilding these databases retroactively can be a time-consuming and costly undertaking. Adequate record-keeping is key to a cost-effective and timely response to discrimination claims.
7. Failing to investigate potential problem areas or take corrective action.
This seems obvious, but it is a critical aspect of the audit process that is sometimes overlooked. A company may conduct audits for purely self-evaluation purposes, and not feel the need to take the next step and address potential problem areas. Whether it is because of an oversight, budgetary reasons or potential concerns of reverse discrimination claims, conducting an audit but failing to act on the findings creates its own set of risks should the audit become discoverable in litigation down the road.
Done properly, the benefits of an employment practice audit far outweigh the risks and data gathered from an audit provides vital information for employers in mitigating exposure to discrimination claims and costly lawsuits.

The Raiders will be without Nos. 1 and 2 running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson and defensive tackle Richard Seymour for the third straight game.
All three missed practice Friday before being declared out for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals game by coach Dennis Allen.
"They made progress this week," Allen said, "but they're not ready to go yet."
That means regular fullback Marcel Reece will start at running back for the third straight game, with second-year player Taiwan Jones and rookie Jeremy Stewart the backups once again.
Reece is fresh from a game in which he amassed 193 yards rushing and receiving. He said he's just trying to hold down the fort until the other backs return.
"We have so many playmakers on this team that no one's that guy," Reece said. "Darren McFadden's the bell cow for this team and will be the bell cow for this team. Right now we're kind of playing running back by committee. When it really comes down to it, you're just trying to make plays the way you're supposed to make plays."
On a positive note, Goodson said he finally is out of the protective boot that he spent more than two weeks in while recovering from a high-ankle sprain. He and McFadden got hurt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Nov. 4.
Goodson said he is disappointed that he missed out on the opportunity to be the lead back.
"You see McFadden go down, and I was the next guy in line," Goodson said. "You kind of want to get out there and show everybody what you can do, and then I go down with an ankle. The exact same injury (as McFadden), the exact same game."
Goodson said he is making progress, though he doesn't have a timeframe for his return.
Desmond Bryant will start in place of Seymour.
— Niners linebacker Aldon Smith recorded 5 ½ sacks Monday night against the Chicago Bears. That total is half what the Raiders have through 10 games and almost twice that of Seymour's team-high three.
Allen said part of the paltry sack total owes to the Raiders lacking a speed-rusher like Smith. The other factor is the inconsistency of the linebackers and defensive backs in pass coverage.
"We've got to do a better job of winning our one-on-ones, whether that be in coverage or whether that be in the rush," Allen said. "Those things work together. It really comes down to individual battles, and we've got to win more individual battles."
Defensive lineman Dave Tollefson said the sacks will come as long as he and his defensive mates keep working hard and play within the context of the scheme.
"I played on (New York Giants) teams that got a load of sacks, and it was a group effort," Tollefson said. "You got to keep pounding that rock. You got to just keep working, keep working and that wall will break down."
— Like most teams, the Raiders goal is to feature a balanced offensive attack. Injuries and situations in games oftentimes dictate otherwise.
Given that, the Raiders are the most lopsided offense through 10 games, with 66.1 percent of their plays being passes.
By comparison, the Texans and 49ers are the most-balanced teams in the league, right about 50 percent pass and 50 percent pass.
Allen said it's "extremely important" for the Raiders to have a balanced offensive attack.
"When you throw the football that many times, eventually bad things happen," Allen said. "We have to have balance, we have to be able to run the football, we have to make teams play us honestly."
However, being balanced doesn't always equate to success. The Redskins (4-6) and Chiefs (1-9) are the third- and fourth-most-balanced teams, yet they are long-shots to make the playoffs..
— Bengals fans hoping to get a look at Carson Palmer, the quarterback that guided their team from 2004-10, won't be able to do so if they live in the Cincinnati area. The game is blacked out locally.
Palmer was the Bengals first-round pick in 2003 (No. 1 overall). He spent his rookie season learning under Jon Kitna and didn't play. He assumed the starting spot in 2004 and held on to that job for seven seasons.
The Raiders traded a 2012 first-round pick and a '13 second-rounder to get Palmer from the Bengals last season. Sunday marks Palmer's first game against his former team, in the stadium that he called home for so long.
— Strong safety Tyvon Branch (neck) said he's "ready to roll" after missing last Sunday's game. That snapped a streak of 57 straight starts for Branch.
Jones (ankle) and rookie defensive end Jack Crawford (toe) are questionable.
— Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green has at least one touchdown in the past nine games. Overall, he has 64 receptions for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns in 10 games.
It's not difficult to make a strong case for Green being the most-dangerous receiver the Raiders have faced all season.
"A.J. Green is having a great year," strong safety Tyvon Branch said. "So we got to stop the ball from going on top. Keep everything in front of us and tackle."
Cornerback Michael Huff will cover Green whenever he is lined up on the right side. Allen said the Raiders won't use Huff or Ron Bartell to shadow Green.
Huff calls Green "an animal" and a better overall receiver than the Falcons Julio Jones, who Huff covered earlier this season.
"He makes more plays, probably plays the deep ball better," Huff said. "You can throw it up to him, he just goes up and gets it, just makes plays. He's better than Julio, to me. Not as fast as Julio as far as long speed, but he can still run."
— Rookie offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom will see some more playing time Sunday, Allen said. Just don't plan on Bergstrom catching a pass anytime soon, even though he oftentimes has been used as an extra offensive lineman.
When that happens, the referee is compelled to announce that "No. 70 has reported as an eligible receiver."
"Don't read too much into that," said Bergstrom, who last caught a pass in high school. "I know I'm eligible, but that's like saying a really ugly guy is an eligible bachelor. It doesn't mean a whole lot."
— Wide receiver Denarius Moore said he shares the blame for not being on the same page as Palmer in recent games, even though Palmer tries to take the lion's share of the blame.
"We sat down and talked about what we need to do and what we need to get better on," Moore said. "All the blame is not on him. Lately there's been times where I was wide open dropped a couple of passes and times where I didn't get off a release, or my timing was off a little bit.
"All the (blame) is not on him. It's just watching film, seeing what the DB is going to do, what coverages we might get and what releases might work for us."
Palmer completed only one of seven throws to Moore against the Saints. Against the Buccaneers a late pass from Palmer was intercepted, with Moore breaking toward the middle of the field, away from the ball.

Trick Tip: 360 Flips
When first asked to do a trick tip on a 360 flip, Travis simply replied, "I don't even know, I just kick and hope for the best." But with a little photographic assistance, he came up with a step by step, which may or may not help you learn it.—BG
Frame 1
Set your feet up like a vflip or a kicky.
Frame 2
Make sure you get a good edge at the wake.
Frame 3
Get a good pop off the wake, and scoop it like a 3shuv.
Frame 4
Leave your front foot on the board until it does a shuv
Frame 5
Then kick the board like a vflip but kick it a little harder, because you want it to do a 3shuv and throw it in front of you.
Frame 6
After that pick up your feet and watch the board come around.
Frame 7
Try to catch it in the air and spread out your feet when you land.
Frames 8-12
Stand up and ride away clean
Sounds easy enough. Now you try!

Coventry senior Devin Elekes became the first bowler in school history to roll a perfect game, doing so in the Comets' season opener.
The No. 4 pin danced, wobbled and hung in the air for what seemed like an eternity.
Devin Elekes and his teammates watched, hoped and did their best to will the rogue pin to the lane below. Elekes clasped his hands behind his head, braced himself for the worst and looked on as the crowd at Turkeyfoot Lanes hung on the edge of their seats.
When gravity won out and the pin fell, Elekes claimed his place in history as the first Coventry bowler to record a perfect game.
"I threw it and the fourth pin started wiggling and I thought I threw a 299, but then it fell and the whole place just went crazy," Elekes said. "I was thinking, 'Holy crap, I actually did it.'"
The decisive 12th strike came after two clean strikes to begin the final frame. As Elekes picked up his ball and approached the lane for his final roll, his knees began to knock and a knot formed in his stomach. Rolling a 300 game is a lifelong pursuit for many bowlers, but Elekes joined the exclusive club at the age of 18.
Much like a baseball pitcher working on a no-hitter, Elekes became persona non grata for his teammates as his perfect effort progressed.
"I look back and my teammates would either look away or my coach would look away," Elekes said with a smile.
Elekes remained focused on each roll and was unaware of his run at perfection until he was near the end of the game.
"Actually, I didn't even notice it until the eighth frame when someone in the back said, 'Wow,' and I looked up and realized I had eight strikes in a row going," Elekes said.
His previous best effort was 278 and there were two matches last season in which he was within four strikes of a perfect score.
Elekes averages about 200 pins, but joked with friends the day before the season opener that he was going to roll a 300. Getting there was a matter of listening to his coach, Steve Kinty, keeping his feet slow, maintaining his form and remaining calm.
Elekes, whose uncle Stan Leibert, bowls professionally in Texas, took up the sport at the age of 5. He stopped bowling competitively when he turned 13, but returned to competition for Coventry last season. After more than three years away, he missed the sport and added it to a busy schedule that also includes football in the fall and baseball in the spring.
"It was a great experience (coming back)," Elekes said. "They welcomed me back and it's a great atmosphere."
Elekes' sister took a picture of the score sheet from his historic day and he plans to get a ring made with the number 300 on it to commemorate his accomplishment. His name also hangs on a plaque on the wall at Turkeyfoot Lanes alongside those of the other bowlers who have rolled a perfect game at the bowling alley.
Now that he has joined the club of bowlers with a perfect game to their name, Elekes knows another such effort is possible. However, he also realizes that 12 consecutive strikes is a rare feat. His accomplishment was made even more special because of the memory of former Coventry bowling coach Dave McCormick, who passed away suddenly in July 2012.
McCormick spoke to Elekes often at youth bowling events and encouraged him to bowl in high school, but Elekes never took him up on that challenge until after McCormick's passing.
"Now I'm here and I truly believe he probably kicked over that four pin," Elekes said.

Disclaimer: Since the light color of our birch plywood is our "white" onto which we print our artwork, many times the the natural imperfections (colored wood fibers or pinhole knots) of the wood and/or color of the wood show through. We think this adds character, but you may not. We have tried our best to showcase all potential color outcomes in the photos featured with each product. Your chart may look like any one of the photos pictured.
