A CANDIDATE in the City of Greater Bendigo election wants to expand the Talking Tram service.
Karen Corr, who is running in the Lockwood Ward, said a tram line and stops should be installed along Mitchell and View streets, Baxter and Water streets, the Golden Dragon Museum and along the back of Rosalind Park.
"It would complement the existing fantastic tourism activities in the CBD," Ms Corr said.
"It would offer people more options to get to the tourist areas. People would be able to come to Bendigo on the train, hop onto a tram and go up to the art gallery and Rosalind Park."
While the tram would still cater for tourists, Ms Corr said she wanted to look at getting locals on board.
"You need different options for people to get around the city," she said.
"Having an extended tram service for people that can't walk everywhere in town would be fantastic."
Ms Corr said the plans hadn't been costed.
The announcement followed a recent call from Ms Corr for upgrades to bus and train services in the city.
"Obviously cost is a factor," she said.
Staff at Bendigo Trust, which runs the tram, didn't want to comment until after the elections.

Summer Hours Begin: Central Library will close at 6 pm on Thursdays and will be closed Sundays until September. Enjoy your summer!
Log in
Do you remember your first wallet? I do. Mine was purple canvas with hot pink piping and a Velcro closure. In it was a few coins and my first piece of identification - my library card. I still remember the pride I felt the first time I checked out books at Palos Heights Public Library. My library card was like a golden ticket to Wonka's factory.
September is Library Card Sign-up Month - a time when the American Library Association and libraries across the country remind parents and caregivers that a library card is the most important school supply of all.
Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. For students, a library card is their most essential school supply. A library card proides access to e-books, online homework help and a multitude of online research tools and resources for their studies. A library card at KPL also means access to computers and free Internet access. For those without Internet access at home, a library card may mean the difference between failing and having a successful school year.
Library Card Sign-up Month is also a great time to share your first library card story with friends, family and colleagues who don't have their own library card. Share with them the true value of libraries, and tell them what your library means to you! More than just books, today's libraries offer DVDs, CDs, e-books, music downloads, free Internet access and computer use as well as access to hundreds of online resources.
If you don't have a library card, what are you waiting for? Get signed up today!
What is your first library card story? Share it with us in the comments below, and we may feature your story on the homepage of our website during the month of September!

MGH hosts Norrie disease conference
Only an estimated 500 people in the world have been identified with Norrie disease, a genetic disorder characterized by blindness at birth. In many cases affected males suffer progressive hearing loss. Norrie disease also can cause respiratory and circulation difficulties, and in some cases, mild to moderate intellectual disability. From Aug. 9 to 11, the MGH hosted the Norrie Disease Association's second international conference at the Richard B. Simches
Research Center.
"Approximately 60 members of the Norrie disease community, including individuals living with the disease and their loved ones, traveled from several countries to attend the conference," says Katherine Sims, MD, director of the Neurogenetics Clinic at the MGH and medical advisor to the Norrie Disease Association. "The goal was to share some of the latest research on the disease and to allow presenters and attendees to share practical tips for those living with this disorder – along with emotional support, which is critically important for such a small group scattered around the world."
The conference featured presentations by researchers affiliated with the MGH, the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Tufts University School of Medicine, University of Zurich and Harvard Medical School and panel discussions led by Norrie Disease Association members.
"Some of the research discussions offered promising ideas on treating hearing loss in Norrie disease patients," says Sims. "For those who have been visually impaired since birth, preserving their ability to hear will maintain their connection to the world around them."
The Norrie Disease Association originally began as an online mailing group in 1993 and grew into a recognized nonprofit advocacy group in 2007, at which time Sims became its first medical advisor.
"Because this disease is so rare, patients living with it were some of the first to use online tools to connect with each other," says Sims. "The conference was a great opportunity for them to meet in one place and connect with physicians, researchers, counselors and most important, each other."

#1 Octo-Mom Not Cleaning Up With Product Endorsements.02-04-2009, 10:52 AMOctuplets Mother Not Being Showered With Gifts
Wednesday, February 04, 2009
By Shaya Tayefe Mohajer and John Rogers, Associated Press
Los Angeles (AP) - Where is the unlimited supply of diapers, formula and baby wipes? The free van? The brand-new house?
Women who give birth to six, seven or eight babies are often showered with dazzling gifts from big corporations, local businesses and strangers. But that is not happening with the Southern California mother who delivered octuplets last week.
The news that she is a single mother with six other children -- and that all 14 were conceived by having embryos implanted -- seems to have turned off many people, and companies are not exactly rushing to get publicity by piling on the freebies.
Nadya Suleman, 33, has been lambasted by talk-show hosts, fertility experts, even her own mother, who has her hands full taking care of Suleman's other children, ages 2 to 7.
A veteran Hollywood publicist said Suleman's handlers have their work cut out for them in trying to win public sympathy for her.
"I think it's a calamity," said publicist David Brokaw, who has handled crises for celebrities. "I don't see, the way this is shaped, how you can say much about it in terms of something favorable."
Makers of diapers, formula and other products would probably want to steer clear of her, Brokaw said. He suggested she lie low for now and concentrate on crafting an image as a responsible parent.
Gerber spokesman David Mortazavi said that if the baby-food maker was planning to do something for the family, it probably would have done it already, and that the octuplets' birth was not on Gerber's radar. He would not elaborate.
SonnabendGuest02-04-2009, 10:56 AMThere's something seriously wrong with this situation.
As much as I think the mom used bad judgment in getting pregnant and all, I really feel sick when I see the way the media is going after her like she's a corrupt politician or something.

Bad judgment? I think "mental illness" is a more likely cause of this situation."Today, [the American voter] chooses his rulers as he buys bootleg whiskey, never knowing precisely what he is getting, only certain that it is not what it pretends to be." - H.L. Mencken
02-04-2009, 02:35 PMConservative radio talk show host Bill Handel in Los Angeles, who has branded the births "freakish," said on the air Tuesday that people are ready to boycott any corporations that help the octuplets or their mother.

I know I'm going to be criticized for pointing this out - but her name has a very ethnic ring to it - middle eastern in fact.Stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand alone.

Jason Prodonovich is Top Scholar of the Class of 2008
May 21, 2008
Jason Prodonovich graduated from Mount Union College the same way he did from high school, at the top.
A native of Industry, Pennsylvania, he is a graduate of Western Beaver County Junior/Senior High School where he was ranked number one in his class. Four years later, he has maintained a perfect 4.0 and was awarded the Heaton W. Harris and Corinne Harris Smith Senior prize at the 2008 Commencement ceremony at Mount Union. This prize is awarded to the member of the graduating class who ranks highest in scholarship, the whole college curriculum being considered.
"Jason is the most outstanding student scholar I've ever known in more than 30 years of teaching," said Dr. John Kirchmeyer, professor of computer science and information systems, when nominating Prodonovich.
Although Prodonovich has always been interested in computer science, he originally chose to take his first philosophy class because it met a general education requirement. He now credits his second major of philosophy with making him a more logical, critical writer and analytical thinker. Philosophy and other general education classes showed him the true value of a liberal arts education.
Prodonovich originally chose Mount Union because he wanted to attend a small school where he could have a personal relationship with his professors as well as an opportunity to "stand out in the crowd." He has certainly taken full advantage of his opportunities, having served as vice president for the Class of 2008 and as a student representative to the Board of Trustees as well as several faculty and search committees. He also had the opportunity, as Presidential Scholar, to attend events where he was able to interact with trustees, guest lecturers and alumni. He feels strongly that campus involvement is important and has especially enjoyed working on committees with faculty and administration and being part of the decision-making process at the College.
Kirchmeyer served as a mentor and advisor for Prodonovich. When Kirchmeyer first approached him to assist in his research, Prodonovich didn't know exactly what to expect but was struck by his professor's energy and enthusiasm. They ended up working as colleagues and bouncing ideas off of each other.
Dr. Scott Gravlee, professor of philosophy and religious studies, was Prodonovich's philosophy professor. "Dr. Gravlee goes the extra mile and helps his students to expand themselves," said Prodonovich. "He has a true passion for teaching."
A first generation college student, Prodonovich credits his work ethic and ensuing success to his parents for their constant support and encouragement.
In addition, the first two summers of his college career made him even more determined to succeed. He spent these summers working in a drywall factory back home where he witnessed firsthand how difficult life can be. He was able to see how fortunate he was to be in college and has learned to apply a blue-collar ethic to academics and excel through hard work and discipline.
The summer before his senior year, he landed a paid summer internship with First Energy Corporation. Prodonovich liked the people and the environment and was offered a job by them after graduation upon the completion of his internship.
When asked about his advice for future students, he replied. "Be passionate, set goals and go after them. Always be goal-oriented."
Looking back at himself at his high school graduation, Prodonovich says he wouldn't recognize the person he was. He is now more open to new ideas, has gained more confidence and feels he is equipped to tackle any obstacle and excel at it because of his experiences as a student at Mount Union.

Because they don't all have the same earning power if they decide not to be teachers. The point of a salary is not to reward merit or make the world a better place. The point of a salary is to attract qualified people to do a job. Qualified technical people are more expensive than qualified history teachers. That doesn't mean they're better people or somehow more deserving on a moral scale. It simply means that they have other options and won't respond to the same salary that will attract a good history teacher. Not acknowledging basic economics is just about the worst thing you can do when trying to hire people or buy goods, and it looks like the school districts are doing just that at the behest of the unions.And this is exactly the solution. Instead of only paying certain teachers more, how about paying them all what they deserve and raising the standard of eduction in all subjects?
I have worked in the private sector, government, and academia. In
Gutt the union? They're preventing progression and have become too in control. We're letting them run the show.
Sure you can say "gut the Teachers' Union", but that simply isn't a practicable solution - it simply isn't going to happen, not in the real world. It might be reasonable to suggest measures that weaken the clout of the union, but one way or another you're going to have to work around unions if you actually want to provide a pragmatic, practical, solution that you can can reasonably expect to see implemented and have noticeable results. One proposal in California would see student loans waived for math and
At least California has a governor that's packing enough brass to make this practicable, assuming he wants to gamble essentially all of his political capital on this move.
Er, California's governor already gambled much of his political capital on a battle with public employees unions, including the teachers' unions and lost once. I don't think he's going there again. Whatever else you might say about him, he hasn't yet had something blow up in his face and then repeated the exact same thing again.
I see no problem with the idea of differential pay for teachers in different subjects. Yes, it would suck to be an English teacher and make half as much as the Math teacher, but I'm willing to bet that we can find twice as many qualified English teachers as Math teachers. The moral of the story, pick a more in demand subject.
It's this way in Universities. Business, medical, and science professors wouldn't be professors if they were paid the small amount the English and Philosophy professors are paid.
What's more important? A perception of equality between teachers of all subjects, or setting the salaries at the level required to attract teachers qualified to properly educate children in each subject?
I think a more pertinent question is who is more important, the teachers, or the students? Ultimately it is the students that are losing here and it appears that, based on difference in demand (apparently qualified math teachers are very hard to come by in California), the most effective solution is going to be incentives to attract more qualified math teachers. What is needed, apparently, is some way to manage to sell that to the unions, or, at the least, a way to muzzle the union on this issue. The forme
Sure, history etc are important, but they have no significant earning potential outside of teaching. It's a buyer's market. Qualified scientists have far better prospects.
Is there a solution to the woeful lack of qualified mathematics teachers that the Teachers' Union will find acceptable?"
Of course not. Union's don't reward ability. Union's tend to focus on the lowest common denominator holding onto their job. Pay for performance usually increases performance. Paying someone equally for less performance usually discourages people from using their abilities. I've never understood why teacher's aren't paid for performance, especially considering the responsibility they have. So long as excellent scientists and mathematicians are paid the same as incapable football coaches, there will
With no absolutes to measure against, how does one decide that one instructor's performance is better than another's?
Teachers objected to differential pay...
Excellent points, all. Let me add one thing. In Wichita, KS, a graduate with a BS in Engineering will get about $50K out of the gate. A graduate with a BA in Education will make $34,654, and his/her salary tops out at $41,479 after nine years' experience. Those numbers can go up with extra job duties (coaching, head of the department, etc.), but that's it, unless said teacher goes back to school for more credit hours. But this increase isn't as dramatic as one might expect. For a teacher to earn what
And I would also like to see (more) practical mathematics in school. Currently most students get it shoved down their throats as a merely theoretical 'boring' lesson while mathematics has much more interesting and practical uses which during my time in school, I never or barely got to see (I got to see them a little in my practicum for electronics, but that's about it).
Applications of mathematics is something that should be taught in physics class. Certainly a little applied math is useful as motivation, but oddly enough I think one of the things that is lacking from mathematics education at the high school level is pure math. There is plenty of interesting theory to mathematics, but instead of getting taught the theory, and gaining understanding, kids get recipes, formulas and applications with no real instruction as to the underlying principles. Mathematics is, at its

Keith Yandle scored the deciding goal late in the first period and Mike Smith stopped 33 shots, as Phoenix squeaked by San Jose, 2-1, on Wednesday.
Michael Stone recorded the other score for the Coyotes, who won for the second time in their last six games.
"We came out, played hard and played to win," Coyotes head coach Dave Tippett said.
Brent Burns notched the lone score and Thomas Greiss made 30 saves for the Sharks, who have lost two of three.
With a regulation loss, San Jose remained tied with Los Angeles -- which lost to the Red Wings earlier on Wednesday -- for the fourth spot in the West. San Jose plays the Kings in both clubs' season finale on Saturday.
Yandle doubled the hosts' advantage late in a power play with 2:08 left in the period on a one-timer from the right point.
A Burns wrister halved San Jose's deficit with 3 1/2 minutes gone in the second, but that was all Smith allowed.
Greiss was pulled for an extra attacker in the final 90 seconds remaining, and Mikkel Boedker narrowly missed an empty-net tally moments later when his try from the left-wing boards skidded through the crease inches from the goal line.
As time ticked away, Smith attempted to clear the puck up the middle, but it never left the zone, and he was forced to make saves on Burns and Dan Boyle in rapid succession before the buzzer sounded.
"I liked the effort," Boyle said. "We had a lot of chances."
Stone's blast gave the Coyotes a 1-0 edge with just over eight minutes remaining in the first. Shane Doan won a battle along the left-wing boards and dished back to Radim Vrbata at the point. He, in turn, found Stone on the right wing for a successful slapper from the right circle.
Game Notes
San Jose won three of five in the season series, but Phoenix won its first home game against the Sharks since a 2-0 decision on March 29, 2012 ... Doan's two assists were his most in one game this year.

3D design tools for advanced modeling
3D viewing capabilities
View 3D models from multiple viewpoints or roll them in 3D space interactively. Use Tiled Viewports to split a drawing into multiple view tiles and set them to display your 3D model in different views, such as front, right, top and isometric. Or choose Shaded view or Rendered view to change the display mode.
3D modeling tools
Add 3D solid primitives to your design and use Boolean operations to unite, intersect and subtract bodies.
From 2D to 3D
Extrude or revolve 2D entities, sweep 2D entities along a path, or loft between 2D entities to create solid objects.
Editing solids
Slice and intersect solids, and edit edges, faces and bodies of 3D solids. New advanced editing tools include Filleting Edges of 3D Solids, and coloring, moving, rotating and offsetting individual faces of 3D solids.
3D mouse support*
Navigate in 3D with support for 3Dconnexion® input devices. Simultaneously pan and zoom, and rotate 2D and 3D drawings by moving (push, pull, twist, or tilt) the cap of the 3D mouse. Assign your preferred navigation settings or custom commands to buttons of the 3D mouse.*
Compatibility for a smoother workflow
CorelDRAW® and Corel DESIGNER® compatibility*
Import CorelDRAW and Corel DESIGNER files into CorelCAD as model space objects with a representation in a layout sheet. As direct way to import drafts from CorelDRAW and Corel DESIGNER for advanced 2D and 3D modeling in CorelCAD, you can work with:
Multi-page CDR/DES files
CorelDRAW files from version 8 to the current release (X6)

in presentations and marketing-related deliverables.
Easy file sharing
Collaborate and share more easily with colleagues and clients with support for leading formats, including PDF, SVG, and DWF.
PDF and DGN Underlay functionality
Attach or more pages of a PDF document to your drawing and control the layer visibility and clipping (masking areas) of the PDF Underlay. DGN files originated from MicroStation® or other CAD software can be inserted as DGN Underlay. You can attach, clip boundaries, layer and detach underlays from current drawings. The clipping functionality allows you to display only part of a DGN or PDF Underlay since the entity is masked at a boundary you create or specify.
Collaborating in 3D
Open and work with 3D models with support for the ACIS model (.sat) file format. You can also save a 3D design to ACIS format to repurpose it with the advanced visualization options in the Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite Add-On Right Hemisphere® Deep Exploration™ CCE or to create high-quality technical illustrations with Corel DESIGNER (available separately).
Print 3D designs from CorelCAD
Export multiple 3D solid objects to STL (Stereolithography), the most commonly used file format for 3D prints (used as processing format in 3D printers). Print 3D prototypes using STL support for direct connection to 3D printers.
Print Configurations for advanced printing options
Save your print settings for individual layout sheets using the new Print Configuration Manager in CorelCAD! Store all your advanced print settings, including paper size, scale, orientation, color to line width assignments and many more, in named configurations to use them across CAD files and projects.
Annotation and collaboration
Take collaboration a step further with the innovative VoiceNotes tool, which lets you add recorded messages, reminders or instructions directly in your drawing. You can also easily mark up drawing items with freehand sketches and mask portions of a drawing to exempt them from annotations.
Work with GIS files
Visualize maps and geographic models created by geographic information systems (GIS) applications with support for ESRI Shape (*.shp) files.
Pack & Go command
Create a package (ZIP archive or folder) containing the current drawing and its dependent files, such as References, referenced images, referenced PDF files, font files, font mapping files, PrintStyle files, and Print Configuration files.
Automation and custom enhancements
Extend your productivity
Take advantage of support for LISP and Microsoft® Visual Studio® Tools for Applications (VSTA)* to create your own functions, routines and plug-ins in the CorelCAD automation interface.
Add-ons and enhancements
Access the plug-in store for third-party enhancements to CorelCAD that can help you automate tasks or add new functionality to the application.
Interface customization
Create and store multiple configurations of the interface in user profiles—no programming knowledge required. Aliases for frequently used commands also help speed you through common tasks.
Built for speed on Windows® and Mac OS®
CorelCAD is optimized for both Windows® and Mac OS®, so you can work quickly and efficiently on the platform of your choice.
CorelCAD 32-bit supports Microsoft® Windows® 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista® and Windows® XP, 32- and 64-bit editions. CorelCAD 64-bit supports Windows 8 and Windows 7 64-bit editions.
Take advantage of Mac OS X enhancements, including full screen application mode. CorelCAD supports Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8).
*Import and export of CorelDRAW (.CDR) and Corel DESIGNER (.DES) file formats, support for 3Dconnexion input devices and Microsoft VSTA are only available in CorelCAD for Windows.
Take a closer look at the 10 most important reasons to acquire the new CorelCAD 2013 now:
NEW! AutoCAD® DWG™ 2013 support
CorelCAD 2013 now reads the new DWG file format of AutoCAD 2013, enabling full compatibility when working with customers and partners who use this software. Plus, strong read support is paramount for users needing to receive and manipulate files that have been created with the new AutoCAD version. CorelCAD 2013 saves to DWG natively so you enjoy full compatibility, support, features and CorelCAD file attributes.
NEW! More OS support: Windows 8 and Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)
In addition to the existing support for Windows XP, Vista 7 and Mac OS 10.5+, CorelCAD 2013 now offers support for Windows 8 users to access CorelCAD as a Windows 8 Desktop Application, and Mac users can take full advantage of Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) features, including full screen application mode.
Native 64-bit Windows support
Each operating system offers a powerful way to support the workflow process. For Windows users, there is a 64-bit version of CorelCAD to manage and process large CAD files, plus significantly increase workflow performance.
Improved performance and application speed
With an increase in application speed, both Windows and Mac users will benefit from increased efficiency and enhanced performance. In addition, an improved memory use will expedite the loading process for larger drawings, reducing the loading time by up to 40%.
NEW! Align viewport tool
With the new functionality within the Viewport command, ita?™s now easier than ever to arrange the elements of your drawings and gain better, more accurate alignment in sheets. Users no longer have to guess if their locations are precise. Instead, the viewports are aligned by the geometry on the inside of the viewport.
NEW! Revision cloud tool
Make the review and revision process simpler and more efficient by using the Cloud command to create revision clouds. Revision clouds are used in CAD drawings to highlight areas that require or contain revisions. Drawing areas can be accentuated with specific shapes such as rectangular, elliptical and freehand Clouds. In addition, you can also set the specific layer for a Cloud, the line color, line style and line weight, and also adjust the radius of the sequential arcs of Clouds.
NEW! DGN Underlay
DGN files originate from MicroStation® or other CAD software and you can then specify layer visibility of a DGN Underlay that is a referenced DGN file in a drawing. In addition, you can attach, clip boundaries, layer and detach underlays from current drawings. The underlay functionality allows you to display only part of a DGN Underlay since the entity is clipped at a boundary you create or specify.
NEW! In-place TEXT editing
CorelCAD now enables text editing right on the screen instead of using a separate dialog for editing text in CAD drawings. This functionality mimics text editing in CorelDRAW and other graphics software applications. With in-place editing, you can modify the definitions of Compnts, which are Block definitions or referenced drawings in the current drawing known as Elements. For efficiency, the Compnt instances in the drawing show the changes in real time.
NEW! ExplodeX command
The ExplodeX command will convert Ellipses and Splines into Polylines. This command is particularly beneficial in preparing drawings to export to other software applications or devices that dona?™t support Ellipses or Splines, such as legacy engraving devices. Additionally, you can choose the Explode command to explode other complex entities like Blocks.
NEW! Automation capabilities
VSTA (Microsoft® Visual Studio Tools for Applications) improvements
The VSTA Manager toolbar allows you to record, edit and run VSTA macros, which enable you to perform repetitive tasks and automate command sequences. Create unique macros using the built-in features of VSTA. The standard macros are created with VSTAa?™s built-in features, and to create advanced macros you can use the integrated development environment. Best of all, you dona?™t need programming experience to use macros!
NEW! Continued LISP
Take advantage of innovative support for continued lisp commands. CorelCAD supports LISP routines so you can leverage existing custom solutions. The continued LISP support can be leveraged for use with CorelCAD and avoids extra programming steps. Users familiar with LISP in other CAD applications will find CorelCAD programming just as easy to master since it supports the same structure.

When the Japanese learned that Tokyo had been selected for the Olympic Games in 2020, banzai cheers could be heard from Wakkanai in the north to Kagoshima in the south, as it was a rare piece of good news for this long-depressed nation.
"Japan has been dispirited for two decades," a retired senior official said, pointing to longstanding economic doldrums and political indifference that was capped by the devastating earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis of March 2011.
About 21,000 people died in that disaster, including 4,800 whose remains have never been found. Nearly 290,000 are living in shelters or with relatives or some place other than home.
Many Japanese seem to see the Olympics as a way to pull out of their national distress. Japanese have a way of setting collective goals, then striving together to achieve them. The 1964 Olympics was integrated into then-Japanese prime minister Hayato Ikeda's plan to double the national income in 10 years, and accomplished in little more than five.
That was a time for the massive construction of highways, subways and what was to become the widely acclaimed — and copied — Shinkansen high-speed railway. The economic growth rate at one point hit an astounding 17.5 percent and the Games themselves were well-conducted.
The high point came during the opening ceremony, when a young Japanese runner, Yoshinori Sakai, carried a torch to the top of the stadium to light the Olympic flame. He had been born on Aug. 6, 1945, in Hiroshima, the day the US dropped the atomic bomb on that city to end World War II.
In a nation that cherishes symbols, the message that Sakai carried was unmistakable: Japan had recovered from the devastation and humiliation of defeat in the war to take its rightful place among nations. Look for a similar symbolic action in Tokyo 2020.
An evident goal for 2020 will be the elimination of the threat from the nuclear reactors in Fukushima Prefecture. They were severely damaged by the earthquake and tsunami and are still leaking contaminated water.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who flew from the G20 economic summit in Russia to Buenos Aires to take part in Japan's bid for the 2020 Games, pledged to the world that the athletes would not be endangered.
Some of the facilities built for the 1964 games will be refurbished for 2020, but many will be constructed anew.
Perhaps the centerpiece will be a stadium with 80,000 seats and a retractable roof to keep out the bad weather, including the heat of July and August. Tokyo is just now emerging from a blistering summer.
An Olympic village to house the athletes and officials will be built near Tokyo Bay and will include a berm to protect the community from a tsunami. The village will be only 8km from the athletic venues, to spare the athletes from being held up by Tokyo's sometimes fearsome traffic.
A touchy issue: Will Japan willingly set as an objective of the 2020 Olympics a resolution of the so-called "history question" — or will it be coerced into taking it up? The term encompasses a litany of issues with which Koreans and Chinese, in particular, contend that Japan has never come to terms.
The JoongAng Ilbo, a leading newspaper in Seoul, lost no time in bringing up the history issue after Tokyo was awarded the 2020 Summer Games.
While grudgingly approving that decision, the paper said: "Japan must stop escalating conflicts and tensions with its neighbors over territorial and historical issues."

|MySQL Conference and Expo April 14-17, 2008, Santa Clara, CA
ColdFusion MX on Mac OS X, Part 4
17. The Select schema window shows two items:
18. In the Schema
19. Move the Schema
20. In the main ViennaSQL window, enter the following SQL Query into the bottom pane. Then click the Execute (right arrow) icon (top, fifth from the left).
21. The query results are shown in the upper pane.
We have only scratched the surface of the powerful, general-purpose ViennaSQL GUI SQL client. We can develop and test our SQL queries, interactively, against test or live data. Once the queries are validated, we can literally copy/paste them to our CFMX programs. The Query we just executed was our (soon-to-be famous) Phone List.
There is much more you can do with ViennaSQL: create databases, create or alter tables, create views, etc. (depending on the capability of the specific database system). A more comprehensive treatment of ViennaSQL is beyond the scope of this article, but I suggest you review the documentation and spend some time experimenting with the program. It is time well invested and will be paid back many times over.
It needs to be said that using a powerful, interactive tool like ViennaSQL requires a certain discipline. It is possible, with a few keystrokes, to irretrievably delete (or modify) all of the records in a table, or even drop entire databases. Proceed responsibly!
I should also note that CFMX, ViennaSQL, and other programs can access the databases concurrently -- though some database systems may not support advanced RDBMS features such as transaction isolation, locking, rollback, and deadlock detection/avoidance. CFMX contains features that help prevent problems that can occur with concurrent database access and modification; other languages may not offer similar protection. My advice? You should limit your concurrent database access and modifications to the lowest-common-denominator of what is supported by the underlying database system and the individual programs and programming languages used to access it.
We will not cover the setup of ViennaSQL connections for each individual database system that we interface from this point on. But the procedure is the same for each database -- only the connection details are different. The connection details can be copy/pasted between the CFMX Administrator and ViennaSQL Connection configurator. If you plan to use the database at all, take a few moments and set up a ViennaSQL connection.
Where Do We Go from Here?
There are quite a few other databases that can be interfaced to our CFMX Mac OS X developer system, and many other related topics that we can explore. Here's your chance to contribute! Below is a list of topics that are on the "To Do" list. We want you, the readers, to prioritize them for us. If you don't see the topic you want, feel free to add to the list.
Dick Applebaum has been doing Web development since 1997, primarily with ColdFusion -- including his latest challenge to port ColdFusion MX to Mac OS X.

Between firebug and the html validator extension (requires html validator) http://www.htmlvalidator.com/firefoxext.php [htmlvalidator.com] you can quickly pick up and find the errors on the page.
This addon does not appear to be Free (as in speech) and also only runs on Windows.
I much prefer HTML Validator [skynet.be]. I find both the Tidy and W3C validators incredibly useful. The Tidy function to clean up existing markup is also rather handy.
I'm actually making an HTML/JS/CSS etc Sandbox that i can hook onto a website so i can play around with things.
Still needs alot of testing though, and sadly i don't have alot of free-time just now.
Just when i managed to get the iframing to work!
I also like it when I come to pages and see the little red error, so I can tell who spends time on their script.
This is an awesome tool and I always recommend it to ANYONE who is doing any JavaScript development.
I came, I saw, I deleted all your files.

Cross Country courses are far from the same from week to week. The South Hardin Recreational Area provided more challenges for all runners in the up and down landscape. While the weather was nearly perfect, the challenging course provided something different from the heat and humidity most of us have become accustomed to this season.
The Rebel girls ran junior varsity in this meet and saw much improved results in the place standings. Meg Edler was the leader of the pack with her 13th place finish (19:44). Hannah Martin was close behind in 15th place (19:57). Kelsey Schwartz was 35th (21:50) and Amber Berendes was 47th (23:46).
Vasya Strohbehn and Cole Goos also ran junior varsity for the boys. Vasya finished 33rd (22:32), while Cole finished 69th (28:53). Tyler Bovy was the lone varsity runner in this meet with a time of 18:53 and finished in 21st place. This earned Bovy a medal in the highly competitive varsity race as well.

Kelsey Schwartz running uphill with the competition following closely behind.
The middle school runner participated as well in a 1.5 mile course. They found the hills of Hardin County to be difficult as well. Lily Ehlers finished 15th (14:05) and Taylor Gienger was 54th (16:49). The boys were led by Max Schweppe in 11th place overall (12:31). Following Max was brother Alex in 38th place (15:10). Zack Davis finished 46th (17:09) and Tyson Creswell closely followed in 49th place (17:30). Preston Goos finished in 50th place (19:44).
With the weather cooling down, hopefully we can be fully productive in practice and in meets from this point forward. We have half of the season left and hope to finish strong with improved performances. The challenge at this point in the season is to not get content and fight through the rut of the season. This week we compete in Grundy Center on Thursday, in what is usually a very good field of local schools. This should give us a good taste of what the conference meet will look like in October.

SANTA CRUZ -- It's hard enough coming up with the idea, money and energy to launch a new business.
The city doesn't believe the paperwork that follows should pose another barrier.
With help from San Francisco-based Code for America, Santa Cruz officials on Wednesday launched an online portal designed to be an easy road map for small-business entrepreneurs. In the works for a year, OpenCounter puts an array of zoning, permitting, licensing and fee information at users' fingertips and provides forms and city contact information to get the complex process under way.
After completing an application, a prospective business owner can hit the "submit" button and eventually be connected with a city planner or economic development official. The program is part of the city's widespread effort to alter its image as a difficult business climate.
"Long-term impact and utility in local government," said Jennifer Palkha, executive director of Code for America. "That is what we're going for."
The public service nonprofit chose Santa Cruz from among 29 other cities that applied last year for help with a Web-based project. Joining Chicago, Detroit and New Orleans in the 2012 lineup, Santa Cruz is the smallest city Code for America has worked with since its 2009 founding.
With its tagline "Set Up Shop in Your City," OpenCounter is an open-source system that other municipalities can replicate. The city shared the Code of America fee of $150,000 -- which covers stipends for the organization's fellows -- with Scotts Valley, Watsonville, Capitola, Los Gatos and the counties of Santa Cruz and Santa Clara. The Community Foundation and other private donors also contributed.
Peter Koht, the city's economic development coordinator, led the project, acting as a liaison between multiple departments and eight fellows to populate the site with loads of data.
"There is no part of the city that didn't have a hand in this," Koht said.
Peggy Dolgenos, co-founder of Internet firm Cruzio, said the tool could revolutionize how Santa Cruz interacts with companies. Rather than putting new businesses through reams of paperwork, the information entered into OpenCounter is packaged in a way that could speed up processing time for permits and gives customers a guide to other agencies they should approach.
"This has been a great way to get together the intelligence and civic-mindedness of the community," Dolgenos said, adding that the program could keep small businesses from looking elsewhere. "Let's keep them in our town and in our area."
Margaret Rosas, a tech consultant with the startup Looker, helped test the new system before it went live. She said it "demystified" the tricky process she encountered trying to open her own business in the Old Sash Mill in 2006.
"You'd stumble through it and find out after the fact" that there was more to do, she said. "It felt arbitrary."

One of the stranger entries in our database is . I vacillate between thinking it's a really clever eggcorn and thinking it is no eggcorn at all. A called the switch "weird" and "astonishing" and it hasn't gotten any less weird or astonishing in the five years since he made that comment. People have continued to substitute "be who of" for "behoove," even though our Eggcorn database entry pops up first in a Google search for "be who of" to flag writers away from the cliff.
A more pedestrian transformation of "it behooves [me/us/her/him/them]" is the switch to "it behaves [me/us/her/him/them]." "Behave" for "behoove" is not common (for that matter, "behoove/behove"1 itself is not terribly common in modern English dialects), but the "behave" slip does occur at least a dozen times on the web.
Many of the web examples, including two of the three below, are from the Indian subcontinent.
: "So, it behaves us who have faith in the unity and sanctity of life to be as sensitive, if not more, to the sufferings of men as we profess to be to the sufferings of other animals."
: "It behaves us to develop the skills and assets to deal with rejection successfully."
: "It behaves them to understand that prestigious institutions do not become prestigious due to the seniority of its members, or the number of exams or titles their staff possess, but by dedication, innovation and achievement by them in their fields of expertise. "
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
These be-Verb verbs are weird. I know we discussed somewhere on this forum the I am being have structures. .
Some other deformations of behoove:
[in prayer] Lord, we behoove you to hear us
It would behoove speakers if they would pay attention to this
The second one was by a well-known (and very articulate) PhD who specializes in psychology and psycholinguistics. fwiw.
He acquired no information that could behoove him financially.
I'm completely behooved [= confused]
It boheeves [boˈhivz] us to … [spoken, not written]

*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
Behoove is a conjugation of "behoof", but there are no hooves on that behoof, it being more closely related to heave.
The South Asian dynamic, and future, is an Indo-centric one. It behoofs us not to over-look that fact.
Chauvinist web comment
It would behoof us to believe that those that are more intelligent than others in a given population, will over time find the ways and means neccessary in order to pass on their genetic material to future generations.
Evolution of intelligence
David, your first example is evidently looking for the word beseech. That one can be misconstrued as well, making it an even more forceful request.
We besiege you to pay attention to this question during your negotiations

Stephen L. Hanson was born January 29th, 1941 and passed from this earth on Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 near his home in St Joseph, Missouri at the age of exactly 72 years.
Stephen grew up in Eagle Grove Iowa and as a young boy was friends with a little girl who would one day become his wife. He graduated from Eagle Grove High School in 1959 and was united in marriage to Beverly Hinrichsen on January 30, 1960, a union that was blessed with 5 daughters.
Stephen attended Eagle Grove Community College following high school and later graduated from the University of Iowa in Iowa City. He attained a Master's Degree from Northeast Missouri State University in Kirksville, Missouri.
Following college, Stephen taught school and coached high school basketball for many years and was the head boys' basketball coach at Ballard of Huxley in Iowa and in Pana, Illinois. Stephen was an excellent teacher, coach, and mentor and to this day his daughters continue to hear from his former students that he was their 'favorite teacher'. After teaching, Stephen moved his family to Osceola, Iowa and worked as a veterinary pharmaceutical sales rep. With his children raised, Stephen bought Beverly a home on Lovers Lane in St. Joseph, Missouri where he retired.
Stephen's love of basketball was prominent throughout his life. He was a captain on his high school team in Eagle Grove, and continued playing at the college level at Eagle Grove Community College. Following his high school coaching career, Stephen spent many years in pick-up games in the gyms in Osceola where he made many friends. One year on his birthday his wife surprised him with a trip to Boston to watch his favorite team, the Celtics, play in the famed Boston Garden. Stephen and Beverly were also both avid lifetime Iowa Hawkeye fans and Stephen even named his dog 'Hawkeye'. Stephen played, coached, and was a fan of the sport and did all very well and with great passion.
Stephen was preceded in death by his sister Marjorie Lynn, his parents, Otto and Ruth Hanson, his daughter Pam, and his beloved wife Beverly.
He is survived by members of his loving family:
Daughters Kim Cox (Rod) of Mattoon, Illinois; Stephanie Miller (Mark) of Winterset, Iowa; Andrea Andrew (Rod) of Ankeny, Iowa; and Stacey Farlow (Rick) of Osceola, Iowa.
Grandchildren Nathan Freeman (Caycee Jones) of Pana, Illinois; Natalie Freeman of Pana, Illinois; Heather Steffens (Richie) of Des Moines, Iowa; Holly Miller of St. Louis, Missouri; Haley Aleman (Jon) of Ankeny, Iowa; Sydney Andrew of Ankeny, Iowa; Addison Farlow of Osceola, Iowa; Dustyn Farlow of Tucson, Arizona; Josh Miller of Des Moines, Iowa; Courtney Miller of Des Moines; Iowa, Kasey Bosler of Mattoon, Illinois; and Keri Cox of Mattoon, Illinois.
Great Grandchildren Rhylee and Ashton Freeman, Zaiden Kauffman and Harper Aleman.
Brother Bill Hanson (Sandy) of Waukee, Iowa; Sister Barbara Hamilton of St Joseph, Missouri.
A Celebration of Stephen's life will be held Saturday, February 23rd, 2013 at 2 p.m. at the Osceola Country Club in Osceola, Iowa. A private family burial of his remains will be held at a later date in Eagle Grove, Iowa. The family asks that in lieu of flowers or plants, donations be made to the Stephen L. Hanson Memorial Fund at Great Western Bank in Osceola, Iowa for a memorial to be determined at a later date.

The Shawnee City Commission voted to defer action on possible removal of red cedar trees until a study could be completed by city staff to determine the best course of action.
The Shawnee City Commission voted to defer action on possible removal of red cedar trees until a study could be completed by city staff to determine the best course of action.
Commissioner Linda Agee has been spearheading the campaign to begin red cedar tree eradication around Shawnee Twin Lakes. Through her efforts, Don Turton of Oklahoma State University came to speak to the commission previously. Turton explained that the red cedars do cause a lower stream flow rates for bodies of water.
He added, however, that it would be nearly impossible to determine what effects red cedar removal could have without an area-specific study.
Turton said also that the red cedar trees will continue spreading and will eventually impact the stream flow if steps are not taken.
Agee requested that the item appear on the agenda for discussion, along with a possible action to allot $2,500 toward removal.
Pottawatomie County Commissioner Randy Thomas approached Agee and agreed to assist with efforts by matching $2,500 from county funds. He also found someone who can be contracted to remove the trees for $75 per acre.
However, city staff recommended the commission not undertake the project due to cost.
"Staff is not opposed to this project," City Manager Brian McDougal said. "We think the project is a valid project to do."
However, the city budget is limited and McDougal recommended the project wait until more funding was available.
Agee encouraged the commission to move forward with the project to get started on conservation.
"It wouldn't take a study to figure out how to get rid of 100 acres of red cedars," Agee said, referencing the plan to partner with the county. "We can do something about this right now, without coming up with a comprehensive plan."
Commissioner Keith Hall said he was reluctant to vote for any such measure without a
study being performed to determine if there would be an actual benefit to citizens.
"There is no correlation from the study that was by OSU to say that there was a return on investment," Hall said. "I agree with [Agee] that $2,500 is not much, I just don't think it's going to save us $2,500 worth of water this next year."
"It's not proven – there's not a proven amount of water that it's going to put in the lake," he said.
Mayor Wes Mainord requested that the city staff come up with a plan to determine the best 100 acres of red cedars to remove.
Commissioners John Winterringer and Pam Stephens were also reluctant to vote for such a measure.
"We're giving up a lot right here," Winterringer said in reference to cuts to next year's budget.
"I can't justify spending the money without something more concrete – and a plan," Stephens said.
Hall reiterated that he would like to see "hard facts" on how this could benefit citizens, including how many gallons of water could be saved with removal of the trees.
Agee moved to direct city staff to develop a plan for red cedar removal within 90 days, and moved to defer any decision regarding funding until after the plan was presented to commission.
The motion passed 5-2, with Agee, Mainord, Hall, and Commissioners Steve Smith and James Harrod voting for it, and Winterringer and Stephens voting against.

Istanbul, 2 July 2012: Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for the breast cancer genes BRCA1/2 is now feasible and established, with good success rates for those treated, according to investigators from the reproduction, oncology and genetics centres of the university hospitals of Maastricht and Brussels. The results follow a review of the largest number of PGD treatments for BRCA1/2 in Europe and were presented today at the annual meeting of ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology) by Professor Willem Verpoest from the Centre for Reproductive Medicine at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium.
Behind his vote of confidence lie 145 PGD cycles for BRCA1/2 mutations performed in 70 couples at the two centres (a mean of 2.1 cycles per woman). Almost 60% of the mutation carriers were female, two-thirds with a BRCA1 mutation. Just over one quarter (26.2%) of female carriers had undergone a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy.
Following IVF, 717 embryos were found suitable for genetic analysis, and of these 43.1% were diagnosed as affected by the mutation, with 40.7% unaffected and thus suitable for transfer (the remainder had an abnormal genotype or the analysis was inconclusive). Hence, 62.1% of the PGD cycles led to fresh embryo transfer - with 3.6% transferred from one or two frozen-thawed unaffected embryos - resulting in 42 pregnancies in 40 women. Pregnancy rates were 41.4% per fresh embryo transfer and 23.1% per frozen. The overall pregnancy rate was 29%.
The series also included three cases of PGD on embryos previously cryopreserved for fertility preservation prior to chemotherapy, and these too resulted in two ongoing pregnancies.
Two female BRCA1 carriers were diagnosed with breast cancer within three months of the PGD treatment, despite breast screening shortly before treatment. One had a history of breast cancer, the other patient hadn't. The former patient went on to have healthy twins three years after the second breast surgery and chemotherapy, and following frozen/thawed embryo transfer.
So far, PGD for BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations has been considered controversial. While most PGD procedures are indicated to remove completely the risk of inherited sex-linked and single-gene diseases (such as cystic fibrosis) in the children of affected couples, PGD for the breast cancer mutations cannot remove the risk completely - because the 10% background risk of breast cancer remains, even after PGD. Moreover, breast and ovarian cancers are usually of late onset, with prevention and therapeutic options constantly improving - so the chances of successful treatment, and many years of healthy life, are high.
Nor is breast cancer inevitable for a woman (or man) carrying a BRCA1/2 mutation. The controversy thus rests on the fact that a mutation in the BRCA genes increases susceptibility to breast or ovarian cancer, but does not reflect an inevitability for developing the diseases. However, with female carriers of a mutation in either gene having a lifetime risk of 60-80% for breast cancer, and a risk of 30-60% (BRCA1) or 5-20% (BRCA2) for ovarian cancer, many authorities have recognised the gravity of the risk and accepted a BRCA gene mutation as an indication for PGD.
So far, only five pregnancies after PGD for BRCA1/2 have been reported since the first was described in 2008.(1) The slow uptake reflects not just the controversial nature of the procedure, but also concerns over patient selection and the safety of hormonal stimulation for IVF in women at risk themselves of breast and ovarian cancers.
Professor Verpoest emphasised that the results, representing by far the biggest series of PGD for breast cancer in Europe, are robust, with a good unaffected pregnancy rate.
"We now believe that this technique offers an established option for those couples seeking to avoid the risk of inherited BRCA in their children," he said. "However, although there is no evidence of increased carcinogenesis in patients having ovarian stimulation for PGD in this population, the screening and monitoring measures - as well as multidisciplinary management - must still be in place.
"Our results suggest that PGD for BRCA1 and 2 mutations is feasible, with a good treatment outcome, but controversy will still remain over the ethical acceptability of PGD for a susceptible - yet preventable - condition."

Swishy Saves the Day Once Again
Yanks Avoid Sweep and Win in Walkoff Fashion
I always liked the Orioles. I always felt that they had some of the cutset players in the league, such as Brian Roberts, Nick Markakis, Luke Scott, and my new favorite Brian Matusz. And when they started playing better, I thought they were even cuter. But they weren't too cute when they were beating my Yankees. A Yankees loss yesterday would have been devastating, especially since the Yankees haven't lost 4 in a row yet this year. And looking ahead to the series against the Rangers, I didn't have good thoughts: I was thinking the Yankees would be swept. Javy Vazquez would pitch game 1, A.J. Burnett game 2. And Moseley, who has been pretty okay, would go up against Cliff Lee in game 3…which hisn't fair. So if the Yankees lost that finale, that would have made it a 4 game slide…and my calculations of them being swept in Texas would mean a 7 games slide. I don't want my Yankees to lose like the Padres. The Orioles finale was crucial..a loss in that game would have been heartbreaking….but it wasn't meant to be.
I stayed home from school yesterday – and it was all because of my Yankees. My grade was going on some kayaking and hiking trip so we could "bond as a senior class." LOL. We've been together for 13 years…if we haven't "bonded" by now, we never will. When I realized that the game on the day of the trip was a day game, a lightbulb went off: "Hmm…we aren't going to do any work in school…and the Yankees play in the day…what's the harm in skipping that day?"
The best part was, my parents didn't even object.
I let my Fan-dom take over yesterday. I skipped for my Yankees. It was crucial that they won.
Ivan Nova started for the Yanks, and boy he was good….he's really something. He made just 1 mistake…and I thought it was going to cost him. With a 3-0 count, Nova laid a cookie right over the plate for Matt Wieters, who didn't miss it. That 2-run homer changed the whole complexion of the game, and gave the O's a 2-1 lead.
For some reason, Brad Bergesen was unhittable yesterday…6.1 innings, 4 hits, and 1 run, courtesy of a Brett Gardner RBI double. He deserves some credit. But also, the Yankee bats were pretty dead yesterday. The at-bats were disgusting. The game was a little boring, and honestly, I was frustrated. I was beginning to wonder if I skipped school for no reason.
At least the pitching was good. Nova made just that one mistake, but otherwise he was splendid. David Robertson, Boone Logan, and Joba Chamberlain were lights-out. The fact that they were pitching so well gave me a teeny bit of hope that maybe, just maybe, the Yankees would come back.
In the 9th, A-Rod singled. Tying run on base…
With 1 out, it was Swisher's turn. He got ahead in the count, just like he always did, and he got a good pitch to hit. And much like Matt Wieters, he was ready for it. Swish put a good swing on it, and drove it deep to left field. Deep….AND GONE! Nick Swisher has 1/2 of the Yankees's walkoffs this year. That home run changed everything. Watching him round the bases almost brought tears to my eyes. He was limping…his knee still hurts from the other day. He's so tough, and such a great guy. As usual, Nick Swisher proudly received his pie in the face. He's enjoying every minute in pinstripes.
Nick, I'm enjoying every minute with you. I hope you will be a career Yankee…because I'd hate to see you on any other team.
Thank you, Nick Swisher, for this Drama Club win. Hopefully, this is the start of another long winning streak.

A physician in the Emergency Department at Pella Regional Health Center has been chosen by the Iowa Hospital Association as one of ten "Hospital Heroes" for 2010. Dr. Matt Gritters is known by his peers as a doctor of exceptional skill and a compassionate manner, and in one nomination, a colleague wrote:
"…what makes him special is the feeling a patient, family member or staff member have when being cared for by him or working with him. He exudes a calm peacefulness in his demeanor and keenly listens and then reflectively responds. He offers encouragement and hope to all that are suffering and interjects the right amount of humor when appropriate…we have many instances in our Emergency Department where we say, 'I'm glad Dr. Gritters was here to care for this one.'"
Dr. Matt Gritters was nominated by nurses Pam Boat, Carla Chow, Sherri Church and Joan Vande Krol for exceptional care given in the emergency setting, both in Pella and around the world. Dr. Gritters has cared for patients outside of the U.S. through medical mission work, including his most recent trip in March, when he went to Haiti to help victims injured in the earthquakes. Dr. Gritters will be recognized at the Iowa Hospital Association's annual meeting on October 7th.

Illustrated Guide: How To Be A Good American Tourist In Europe
We recently got back from a wonderful week on vacation in Berlin*. While there, we mistakenly partook in the local drunk food specialty–currywurst!–before heading off to a nice restaurant for our last evening in the city. Sure enough, the currywurst did not agree with us and we sat there in a crowd of urbane Germans with horrible visions of throwing up all over them and their fancy restaurant. It then occurred to us: nobody wants to be that American, vomitting all over the locals! Hence, today's Illustrated Guide is intended to aid our fellow Americans in giving a good impression while visiting those threateningly sophisticated nations known collectively as Europe.

This past Labor Day, I wanted nothing more than to settle down in my chair with a few burgers fresh off the grill and watch my Pittsburgh Pirates battle for a playoff spot for the first time in who-knows-how-many-years.
This past Labor Day, I wanted nothing more than to settle down in my chair with a few burgers fresh off the grill and watch my Pittsburgh Pirates battle for a playoff spot for the first time in who-knows-how-many-years.
The burger part went according to plan. I grilled up four of my special-recipe turkey burgers to perfection, complete with cheese and hot sauce.
Only one problem. The MLB won't allow me to support my favorite team, even though I'm 1,000 miles away.
See, because the Pirates were playing Houston, and because I'm in Houston's "local market zone," (despite being 200 miles away), I can't watch the game on my computer.
No matter that I'm only trying to watch the home broadcast online. No matter that Houston's on the road. MLB's silly blackout rules won't allow it. And I don't get FOX Sports Houston at my apartment. So, there went those plans.
And people all over the country are in the same boat as me. I feel bad for the people in Iowa. They're in the blackout zones of Chicago teams, the Cardinals, the Royals, the Twins or the Brewers. Want to watch baseball in Vegas? You're in Diamondback, Dodger, Giant and Padre territory.
It's been a problem that's existed for years. Bud Selig has said "we have to do something about it." This was years ago. 2006, to be precise. In six years, exactly how much progress has been made in adjusting these blackout rules? As much as the number of wins earned by pitchers in the 2002 MLB All-Star Game. Zero.
MLB.TV, pretty much the only way to watch any out-of-market games with any consistency, is a novel idea, but not even it allowed me to watch the Houston/Pittsburgh game. The only options I had available were the audio.
The MLB's stance on broadcasting, both television and radio, are flawed. For me, unless it's a Houston game (which, for me, is about 15 games a year, which will soon evaporate to zero), I have to pay for MLB.TV or its sister audio package just to watch or even listen to a game. Local radio stations aren't allowed to stream live broadcasts on their websites.
I can't understand how, if one is paying for MLB's beloved television package, they can still black out a game? They're getting their money. One of the main reasons people buy the MLB.TV package is because they're hundreds of miles away from home, and they want some way to be able to follow their favorite teams. If we're paying for it, just let us watch our games!
The NFL has more "reasonable" blackout rules. A team's game is blacked out within 75 miles of that team's stadium unless it is a road game, or if the game is sold out 72 hours or more before the start of the game. To me, that makes sense. A regular-season NFL game sells out pretty reasonably.
Granted, that policy wouldn't exactly work for the MLB. Baseball games don't sell out nearly as often as football games do. But there has to be something that works for a happy medium between the fans and the league.
I've got two solutions that would fix things in the short term. One, stop blacking out games on MLB.TV. I can understand possibly blacking games out on the television. But not in a feature we, as fans, are paying for. Secondly, allow the local radio stations to stream the radio broadcasts online for free instead of making us pay more money just to listen to the game. Especially in the state of our economy right now, fans should be able to support their favorite teams and at least listen to their team's games without having to fork over what little bread money they have left.

Treasurer Wayne Swan is predicting a modest surplus for 2012/13 when he hands down his fifth budget on Tuesday, but one that will contain measures to support small business.
Last November Mr Swan forecast a $1.5 billion surplus in the next final year compared to a $37.1 billion deficit in 2011/12.
"It will be a modest surplus, the surplus will build over time," Mr Swan told the Nine Network on Sunday.
"The aftershocks of the global financial crisis have hit our revenues."
Mr Swan said the government has had to make very significant savings because revenues had been down around $150 billion over five years since the GFC.
The government is also going ahead with a recommendation from its Business Tax Working Group to introduce in the budget from July 1 "loss carry-backs" for business - where a company applies operating losses to a preceding year's income to reduce tax liabilities.
"At the moment small businesses can only carry their losses forward to be offset against future income and future profits," he said.
"They can't carry their loss back and offset it against past profits."
It will be capped at $1 million of losses with a maximum benefit to any firm of $300,000.
While he would not put an exact figure on the cost to introduce the measure, he said it would be in the "hundreds of millions" over the forward estimates.
The carry-back measure will be implemented along aside the already announced $6500 instant write-off from July 1, which Mr Swan described as a "huge boon" for 2.7 million small businesses.
"This will be a significant package for small businesses across Australia that aren't in the fast lane," he said.
He also confirmed a new bonus for one million families with school-aged children to replace the existing education tax refund.
Under the means-tested SchoolKids Bonus policy, parents will receive $820 a year for each teenager they have at high school, and $410 for every child in primary school.
The direct cash payments are being introduced after more than 600,000 eligible families failed to claim $300 million in rebates.
"It will be welcomed by families that are doing it tough ... this will be there when they need it," he said.
There will also be $500 million set aside in the budget for what he described as a "blitz on public dental waiting lists".
"The numbers on public dental waiting lists are extraordinary high, something like 400,000 people," he said.
The budget will brought down in the midst of renewed speculation that there are concerns in the Labor Party about the leadership of Prime Minister Julia Gillard and her deputy Mr Swan, talk that the treasurer was quick to dismiss.
"We have got the runs on the board, and we are getting on with the job," he said.
"The prime minister is as tough as nails, and she ain't going anywhere."
