Jockey Rafael Bejarano is not No. 1 in the rider standings after the first week of the Del Mar Thorougbred Club meeting. Garrett Gomez was the hot jock of the first five days, notching 10 wins, three more than Bejarano.
But of the seven opening-week stakes events (counting the split Oceanside on Opening Day as two), Bejarano won four.
"We're looking to build from that."
From 31 mounts the first week, Bejarano had seven wins, six second-place finishes and four thirds for earnings of $535,320, a 23 percent win and 55 percent in-the-money rate.
"A lot of seconds we wanted to be wins, but he's riding well and working hard," Ferrer said.
Bejarano's Week One stakes victories came aboard Midnight Crooner in a division of the Oceanside, Tilde in the CTBA, Norvsky in the California Dreamin and Eden's Moon in the San Clemente. Two of those, Midnight Crooner and Eden's Moon, were for trainer Bob Baffert,
Bejarano's stakes assignments for Week 2 include Midnight Interlude in today's Wickerr, Richard's Kid in Friday's Cougar II and, on Saturday, Starlight Magic in the Fleet Treat and either Prayer For Relief or Take Control for trainer Bob Baffert in the San Diego Handicap.
On Sunday, Bejarano will be at Monmouth Park in New Jersey to ride Paynter for Baffert in the $1 million Haskell Invitational Handicap.
A week ago, Arnold Zetcher's 3-year-old Midnight Crooner won a division of the Oceanside Stakes for trainer Bob Baffert and jockey Rafael Bejarano. The same connections will be looking for a second straight big Wednesday win with 4-year-old Midnight Interlude.
The colts are full brothers, sons of War Chant out of Midnight Kiss, a Groom Dancer mare owned by Zetcher.
Midnight Interlude, winner of the 2011 Santa Anita Derby and compiler of $760,910 in earnings as a 3-year-old, will be making his first start in nine months.
With scratches of Liberian Freighter and Rauschenberg from the original field, seven were set for the Wickerr, among them defending race champion Calimonco for trainer John Sadler.
"That's a tough field," Sadler said. "Anywhere else it's a Grade II stakes, here …" The Wickerr, one mile on the Jimmy Durante Turf Course, is ungraded with a purse of $85,000-added.
Trainer Peter Miller nominated 4-year-old gelding Comma to the Top, whose eight career victories include the 2010 Grade I CashCall Futurity, to today's Wickerr, Saturday's San Diego Handicap and Sunday's Bing Crosby Stakes.
"We wanted to keep our options open," Miller said last weekend. "We nominated for them all but probably won't run in any of them. There's an allowance race on Thursday."
It goes as the featured seventh race on Thursday's card. And it's no bargain."
Among the nine entered: Bob Baffert-trained Coil, winner of the 2011 Haskell Invitational.
Trainer John Sadler reported that Holy Candy, pulled up as the even-money favorite in the second division of the Opening Day Oceanside Stakes, has undergone successful surgery for a bone chip in his right front ankle.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Wayne McIlwraith at Equine Medical in Cerritos.
"Early on we're very happy with the prognosis," Sadler said. "We keep them in for four or five days to make sure but in awhile he'll be up the street and in the same area code." Owned by the Craig Stables & Donkey Island Racing LLC, Holy Candy will be recuperating at Craig's Rancho Paseana, a few miles inland from the track.
CLOSERS – Former USD golf coach Tim Mickelson, younger brother of PGA Tour star Phil, is a client of Sadler's. Mickelson-owned Huntingman ran out of the money as the second choice in Sunday's fifth race and was claimed away for $40,000. "Now we're looking for another one for him," Sadler said. "We've had a couple for him that have done well. A filly called One Magical Girl won three races and Dancing In The Dark won a couple, so he's having a little fun with it." … Ship-And-Win eligible horses on today's card include: My Friend Gail (3rd, Dallas Keen trainer); In a Twinkling (3rd, Melody Conlon); Vee (3rd, Matthew Chew); Iaquinta (4th, Richard Mandella); Tiz Lovely (5th, Patrick Biancone); Lolly Goggin (6th, Dallas Keen); Miss Busy (6th, Jack Bruner) … Catching up on workouts: Monday – Switch 4 furlongs, :46.20; Paynter 6 furlongs, bullet 1:11.80; Tuesday – The Factor 4 furlongs, :47.40 …A book on trainer Roger Stein, "Playing The Steinway" co-authored by Mark Ratzky and Esther T. Hall, is now available at http://www.rogerstein.com.
Trakus Facts of the Day for Sunday, July 22
In race two, winner Brilliant Melody took advantage of a ground-saving trip and covered the least amount of ground in the field of eight. 19-1 longshot Conkate had the fastest final furlong timed in 12.12 seconds, which was at least .31 seconds faster than the rest of the field, and still covered 28 feet more than the winner.
Indigo River, third in the San Clemente Handicap, covered 24 feet more than winner Eden's Moon, and 29 feet more than second placer, Open Water.
Trakus timed Byrama's final furlong in 11.16 seconds, fastest out of the field of seven. Using the full 2011 season at Del Mar for comparison, Byrama's time would have been the seventh-fastest final furlong out of 295 starts recorded by Trakus at one mile on turf. This season through 58 starters at one mile on grass, Byrama's final eighth in the San Clemente was the fastest.

As 2012 draws to a close, the Times-Call takes a look at the people who webmake our community work, 365 days a year. Through Jan. 2, read about the people whose names and faces might not have been familiar to you, even if the jobs they do are.

Sunday Keith Kendall, wastewater treatment worker

Tuesday Clayton Schultz, skydiving pilot
Wednesday Sandy Lenhardt, lunch lady
LONGMONT -- Anyone who has attended a prep sporting event in the St. Vrain Valley School District has probably seen Larry West.
West works as a grounds manager in the operations and maintenance department for SVVSD. Along with several others from the maintenance department and a group of part-timers, he is the driving force behind ensuring St. Vrain student-athletes have a place to play.
He gets a paycheck for his work like everyone else. But West's work means more to him.
"It's really all about the kids," the 55-year-old West said recently. "When you get into the sports and you start working with the kids and the coaches, you probably get more out of that than you do the wages, if you wish. It gives you a feeling like you're giving back something to the community."
For every event at Everly-Montgomery Field, from fifth-grade field day to high school playoff football, West is probably on-site somewhere.
SVVSD now has five artificial turf fields -- two at Longmont High and one each at Mead, Frederick and Erie. West uses the grooming and decompacting equipment to keep the turf in order, extend the fields' life and make the surface safer for athletes.
Among West's many tasks, he conducts districtwide inspections on bleachers and basketball standards and plows snow in the winter. During the spring, he helps maintain baseball fields.
While catering to the needs of visiting coaches and media, and ensuring everything runs smoothly, West doesn't have much time to watch the games. But he tries to keep up with the local teams as much as possible.
Born and raised in Longmont, West graduated from LHS, where he played football for a year until he got a job. But he tries to treat all the local teams the same.
Longmont High's All-American punter and kicker Miles Bergner, who spends countless hours on the turf practicing, personally thanked West for his work on the Everly-Montgomery uprights.
"Every once in a while you'll get one of these kids come up and shake your hand and thank you for what you're doing," West said. "That really makes it worth your while."
Each year, West helps run the St. Vrain Invitational track meet, which has grown into one of the bigger events in the state.
"He does a great job. He obviously takes a lot of pride in the facility and how people are treating it," Lyons track and cross country coach Mark Roberts said. "When we run those meets, we're there early and we stay late. He's obviously available. It's great to have somebody like him available and, in my opinion, that's one of the best track facilities in the state."
Of course, there are plenty of football coaches who recognize what West does.
"He's fantastic," Longmont football coach Doug Johnson said. "He goes above and beyond."
Since it was established four years ago, West's position is still growing and evolving. As it does, he intends to be around for a while.
"I would like to be able to do this until I'm ready to retire," West said. "I like this."

A Seneca man has pled guilty in the death of his girlfriend's 22-month-old son.
A Seneca man has pled guilty in the death of his girlfriend's 22-month-old son.
Zachary D. Roland, 21, entered a guilty-plea on Thursday, April 18, to a charge of first-degree involuntary manslaughter, a class C felony.
He was sentenced to seven years in prison, and must pay court costs, according to Missouri CaseNet.
Roland was arrested June 28, after deputies with the Newton County Sheriff's Department were dispatched to 2394 Holly Road, in Seneca, in response to an infant that was not breathing.
The infant, Bradley Beck, was pronounced dead upon arrival to a local hospital, Sheriff Ken Copeland said at the time.
"The child's mother's boyfriend had the child in the shower with him," Copeland told the Daily News in a July interview. "He had been crying and everybody else heard the child quit crying. He gave a statement to detectives that he had struck the child, the child slipped out of his hands and fell and hit his head. That is the statement that he gave."

- Fed Cup final
Kvitova gives Czechs 2-0 lead against Serbia
Petra Kvitova breezed past Serbia's Jelena Jankovic as Czech Republic moved a step closer to the defence of their Fed Cup title in Prague.
The world No. 8 had been a major doubt for the final after pulling out of last week's WTA Championships with a virus, but showed no signs of illness as she cruised to a 6-4 6-1 victory to give the hosts a 2-0 lead at the O2 Arena.
Kvitova, who led the Czechs to a 3-2 victory over Russia in last year's final, secured her 11th consecutive victory in Fed Cup singles matches, at the same time condemning Jankovic to her first Fed Cup defeat in two years.
After dropping serve in the fifth game, Kvitova roared back with two breaks of serve to take the opening set before streaking to a 5-0 lead in the second. Jankovic hung on to avoid the bagel, but Kvitova sealed the victory on her second match point when Jankovic's backhand sailed long.
That came after Lucie Safarova handed a surprise defeat to Ana Ivanovic, making the most of the home support to claim a 6-4 6-3 victory.
"After I lost both matches in the final last year, I desperately wanted to win," Safarova said. "We were both nervous at the start but I got rid of it. I was improving throughout the match. It was very important to win."
Czech Republic are just one match away from victory with the doubles and reverse singles rubbers to come on Sunday.

by caesarthehun on 2009-06-09 01:40 CET
if this can win trials, i am playing block from now on. this is stupidly ridiculous. It looks like a seven year old threw a bunch of crap in a deck.<----referring to GWagg
by Preslo18 on 2009-06-09 01:42 CET
That's why it looks so ridiculous, because you don't play block. 4 Thornling is questionably 1 or two too many, but other than that, it's a pretty good list.
by P_P4E on 2009-06-09 03:36 CET
i like the deck. I think some wild nactles could be used also, though.
by Ashmatan on 2009-06-09 03:45 CET
celestial purge over path? really?
by Christopholo on 2009-06-09 04:21 CET
i think thats Saito's list from the PT. pretty sure. and he finished well with it
by DOMinarian on 2009-06-09 05:35 CET
purge is more useful in matches against esper
by DOMinarian on 2009-06-09 05:38 CET
i could also try to change jund charm to naya charm... it has more verstility in block since u can get a cascade card back and tap those anoying wall of denials or kill the ehersworn canonist
by Lynolf on 2009-06-09 10:47 CET
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Its ridiculous how the only deck without Bloodbraid Elf managed to win this trial. That's what I call gg.
by RavensEffect on 2009-06-09 13:24 CET
I guess you're saying it was the only deck without Elf...in the top 3? There were 3 decks in the top 8 that didn't run Bloodbraid Elf, and I'm sure probably alot more. Rhox Meditant is a very janky choice, especially when you could run a great creature like Dauntless Escort instead. And I agree that if you run Ranger of Eos you should probably run at least 2 one-drops.
by OldBear on 2009-06-09 14:03 CET
I think its fair to say the GW aggro deck was a metagame deck made by the japanese, explaining the presence of cards like rhox mendiant as a response to bloodbraid elf. What they said was if people are playing 3 colour decks we want to be playing 2, 2 colour decks we want to be playing mono just for the number of extra game wins you get for having less mana problems.
by Super_Prep on 2009-06-09 15:55 CET
Well said Trotsky1, I remember when I experimented with Rhox Mediant, and other cards from Conflux when the stuff first came out. But, I never did think that the one card draw would matter that much in something like a Alara Block Trial.
by rdeg87 on 2009-06-09 16:57 CET
Saito said himself that he wanted a creature with 4 toughness to block Elf and Sprouting Thrinax, it helps that it draws a card and people are reluctant to waste removal on it.
by DOMinarian on 2009-06-09 18:01 CET
i must say that sunlight was something good to keep cascading into pulse in one game although the games i lost i lost them to broodmate dragon :D i was wishing to have one too...
by Jacois on 2009-06-09 18:38 CET
Maybe take out 2 Vithian Renegades for 2 Karthuus of Jund. That's 15pts for 7 mana, not bad. And if you're lucky it's another 15 next turn. :S
by Shagrath on 2009-06-09 20:31 CET
by DragonKid on 2009-06-09 00:27 GMT
by TugaChampion on 2009-06-09 20:45 CET
again noobseffect and moron_game talking about a game they don't understand. go back to pokemon or yu-gi-oh you losers.
by Preslo18 on 2009-06-09 23:09 CET
Rhox Meditat is good. Just throwing it out there. You guys who argue against him, once again, must not play enough block. He blocks Nacatl, He blocks Thrinax, he blocks Bloodbraid, Dauntless Escort, Ranger of Eos, it makes them pump leech, giving you two life out of purge, and, maybe most importantly, it shuts down probears, because Goblin Outlander is the least played of them all.

Drake has no interest in making dance music.
The 25-year-old rapper insists he would rather make a club track with "integrity and soul" than collaborate with artists such as French producer David Guetta.
He told NME magazine: "For me, the David Guetta stuff just doesn't work. I don't really wanna go there. There's other artists, that's their sound.
"They feel in order to thrive internationally that they gotta do straightforward, four on the flour, David Guetta, Pitbull music.
"For me, I'd rather go to somebody like Jamie xx and tell him, 'Look, I really wanna turn the club upside down, but I wanna do it with integrity, with soul."
Despite his fame, Drake insists he enjoys low-key pursuits like other men his age.
He said: "I've been playing FIFA, eating Jamaican food and listening to dancehall in little basements. That's just what I do. I don't want to change just because I'm playing in The O2.
"There's only about five rappers who could sell out there right now. I just happen to be the young boy, there's no point me trying to be older than I am."

Dallas, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Patrik Elias scored the game-winner on the power play just 40 seconds into overtime, as the New Jersey Devils edged the Dallas Stars, 3-2, on Thursday at American Airlines Center.
Dallas forward Tyler Seguin tied the game with 51.5 ticks left in regulation, but teammate Jamie Benn took a tripping minor 28 seconds into the extra session to put the Stars down a man.
With plenty of room to work on the 4-on-3 power play, Jaromir Jagr threw a low shot on net from atop the right circle that Kari Lehtonen padded away, but Elias, who drew the penalty on Benn, was there on the low left side to pound the puck home for the victory.
Travis Zajac and Dainius Zubrus each lit the lamp in regulation, while Cory Schneider stopped 14 shots to help the Devils snap a two-game slide.
"A little unlucky there at the end, but we persevered and it was a big two points," New Jersey head coach Peter DeBoer said of his team giving up the lead with under a minute left. "Both teams were playing for keeps."
Benn and Seguin recorded Dallas' markers, while Lehtonen allowed all three goals on 24 shots for the Stars, who wrapped up a five-game homestand at 3-1-1.
"It was a bit of a roller-coaster," Seguin said of the homestand. "We had some good moments, we had some tough moments. It's about finding consistency as a group right now."
Zajac tipped in a Damien Brunner blast with New Jersey on the power play 9:50 into the second to give the Devils a 2-0 lead, but the Stars scored the game's next two goals, starting with Benn's marker just 62 seconds later.
The Dallas captain corralled a loose puck on the low right side and whipped a backhander past a surprised Schneider to slice Dallas' deficit to 2-1 at 10:52.
The Stars struggled to put much together from there, but with under two minutes left in regulation, Benn was pulled down by Jagr. However, Benn was whistled for a dive and both players went to the box at 18:21 of the third period.
Lehtonen then left the net in favor of the extra attacker, giving the Stars a 5-on-4 that Seguin made the most of by swatting the puck past Schneider amid a wild scrum in front.
Benn and Jagr were both released from the box 21 seconds into overtime, but the former found himself back in the sin bin just seven seconds later, leading to Elias' game-winning goal.
After killing off an early 5-on-3, New Jersey jumped on top with 9:01 on the first-period clock when Zubrus rifled a one-timer from the right circle that snuck under Lehtonen's glove for a 1-0 lead.
Game Notes
The Devils entered the game mired in a scoreless streak of 103 minutes, 53 seconds ... Dallas dropped to 13-9-6 at home this season ... Jagr registered two assists ... New Jersey went 2-for-3 on the power play, while Dallas finished 0-for-3 on the man advantage.

Complete Results
NCAA Tournament Bracket
College Park, Md. - The No. 3 seed Maryland Terrapins got four points each from All-American Joe Walters and Xander Ritz and rallied from a 6-5 halftime deficit to defeat Penn State, 14-10, at Byrd Stadium Saturday night and advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament.
The Terps dominated the opening quarter, scoring four straight goals from Andrew Schwartzman, Bill McGlone, Mike Hartofilis and Ian Healy. But the Nittany Lions roared back in the second quarter with five goals of their own to take a 6-5 lead into the break.
Maryland responded by dominating the third quarter, scoring seven times and limiting the Penn State offense to just two goals. Xander Ritz scored a man-up goal at 12:58 to tie the game at the 12:58 mark, but PSU's Patrick Heim scored an unassisted goal a little more than a minute later to give Penn State the lead back at 7-6.
Xander Ritz answered right back for the Terps at the 10:09 mark and tied the game at 7-7. Walters then gave Maryland an 8-7 advantage at 6:57 on a brilliant assist from Schwartzman. The Nittany Lions tied the game again, the fourth time the score was tied, on a goal by Gil Pearsall at 5:55.
The Maryland offense, which was sparked in the third quarter by face-off specialist David Tamberrino who won 7-9 draws in the quarter, started to exert control of the game. Beginning at the 3:38 mark, the Terps went on another 4-0 run with four different goal scorers. Midfielder Ryan Lang scored his second goal of the season to begin the run at 3:38. All-American midfielder Brendan Healy followed with his first of the game just 31 seconds later. McGlone scored his second of the game at 1:24 and Xander Ritz capped off the run with his third goal of the quarter to give Maryland a 12-8 lead going into the fourth.
Penn State started the fourth quarter with a three-minute non-releasable penalty, but the Nittany Lion defense responded to the challenge, holding the Terps scoreless for the duration of the penalty. Penn State tried to rally off a goal by Will Jones at the 10:59 mark, but Maryland fired back with back-to-back goals by Joe Walters for a 14-9 lead to seal the game.
Nittany Lion midfielder Mike Jacober, who has been the cornerstone of this Nittany Lion team since his parents and brother were killed in a March 26 plane crash, capped off his season with Penn State's final goal with 25 seconds left in the game.
The game was delayed for more than two and a half hours due to a thunder storm.
Maryland advances to the NCAA Quarterfinals next Sunday at Princeton Stadium in Princeton, N.J., against Georgetown. The Hoyas defeated Army 16-6 in Washington D.C., Sunday afternoon, May 22, to advance to face the Terps. The game will be a rematch of the season opener, which saw Maryland defeat Georgetown, 13-6, in College Park. The only previous meeting between the two schools in the NCAA Tournament came in 1997 when the Terps beat the Hoyas 14-10 in the first round. Face-off is scheduled for 12 noon.
Game Notes:
With today's 14-10 win Maryland is 30-0 all-time vs. Penn State.
With the win over Penn State, the Terps are now 36-25 in NCAA Tournament play, including an 8-2 record in first-round games.
With three goals and an assist Joe Walters extended his point scoring streak to 31 games.
Xander Ritz tied his career-long point scoring streak at 15 games with three goals and an assist.
For Walters it was his 23rd career hat trick, while Xander Ritz now has five career hat tricks.
Brendan and Ian Healy scored in the same game for the tenth time in their careers.
When McGlone and Walters score goals in the same game the Terps are now 23-8.

Pelosi Commemorates Tibetan National Uprising Day
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on Tibetan National Uprising Day, which is commemorated on Saturday, March 10:
'On the 48th Anniversary of Tibetan National Uprising Day, we honor the many brave Tibetans who sacrificed their lives fighting for freedom.
'The lack of progress on freedom and human rights in Tibet is an international concern. Just this week, the U.S. State Department issued its Annual Country Report on Human Rights documenting continued human rights abuses by the Chinese government in Tibet. The report states that Chinese 'authorities continued to commit serious human rights abuses, including torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, house arrest and surveillance of dissidents, and arbitrary restrictions on free movement.'
'It is long past time for Beijing to make progress on a solution that respects the human rights of every Tibetan.
'In recent years, many of us have been encouraged by the discussions between Tibetan envoys and Chinese authorities on the status of Tibet. While open dialogue is a first step, it is clear that the Chinese government is stalling in the negotiations. It is critical for these discussions to resume as soon as possible. A negotiated agreement would ensure internal stability in Tibet and bolster China's reputation in the world.
'The U.S. Congress continues to be a bedrock of support for the Tibetan people. Last year, Congress passed legislation to award the Congressional Gold Medal to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, in recognition of his contributions to peace, nonviolence, and religious understanding. I was proud to be an original co-sponsor of that significant legislation.
'We must heed the guidance of His Holiness the Dalai Lama as his transcendent message of peace is needed now more than ever. And we must never forget the people of Tibet in their ongoing struggle.'

Woman's body found Tuesday in Medical Lake near park
September 6, 2012
Medical Examiner rules death a drowning, victim's name withheld pending notification
By JAMES EIK
Staff Reporter
Spokane County Sheriff's deputies are investigating after a body was found in Medical Lake at Waterfront Park the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 4.
A city worker discovered the body of a 36-year-old woman about 15 feet out from the Waterfront Park beach earlier in the morning and notified authorities.
Officers' attempts to revive the woman at the scene were unsuccessful before medics arrived and pronounced her dead. Major crimes detectives were later called to the scene for investigation.
No visible signs of trauma were present on the body, but deputies are treating the death as a homicide until more information is available.
Public information officer Craig Chamberlain said the woman was found wearing a tank top and shorts, and had a duffle bag nearby with personal effects. Reports of missing persons weren't made Tuesday morning.
After processing the scene deputies released the body to the Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy. In a press release issued late Tuesday afternoon the Medical Examiner's Office concluded that the cause of death was drowning. The victim's name will be released pending next of kin.
Information obtained from the autopsy will be released in the coming weeks. Further information will be published once it's made available by the Sheriff's Office.

I exported a script from Salome (dump), and I want to run it in python (I'm doing some geometric operation and I don't need any graphics). So I removed all the graphic command, but when I try to launch my python file, python cannot found the salome libraries.
I tried to export the salome path ('install_path'/appli_V6_5_0p1/bin/salome/) in PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH but it still doesn't work.
I also would like to know if it's possible to use only the geompy library without salome, and if it's possible, how can I install only the geompy library? ( I need to launch some geompy script on a UAV with only 8Go of memory, so the less thing I install, the better)

Ronald Dean Thomas Sr. "RT" Big Ron" Sw'as'kin
Ronald Dean Thomas Sr. (53) "RT" Big Ron" Sw'as'kin passed away in Nespelem, Washington, on Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012. Born September 16, 1959, in Coulee Dam, Washington, Ron was a proud member of the Colville Confederated Tribes. He worked for many years protecting the ancestral lands he loved as a wildland firefighter on the Coeur d'Alene, Spokane, Kalispell and Colville tribal reservations. Ron also spent time working as a tree trimmer and as a pipefitter and iron worker, but he loved nothing more than spending time in the outdoors, being renowned as the best hunter of both shed-horns and trophy deer on the Colville Confederated Reservation. When not spending time in the woods fishing or ice fishing and finding monster bucks or picking huckleberries, Ron enjoyed playing pool and was a standout baseball player on native teams as shortstop, outfielder – due to his strong arm - and loved confusing opposing pitchers off by switch-hitting at the last moment. Those who knew Ron remember him as a practical joker who loved a good laugh and one who would give the shirt off his back to a friend in need. His family knows him as the Best Father and Grandfather a family could ever hope for! He loved his grandchildren the most and they were his life.
Predeceased by his daughter Rachael Pakootas (1988); beloved son Ronald Dean "Sonny" Thomas Jr. (2005) and daughter Cecelia "CeCe" Thomas (2010).
Ron's legacy lives on through his mother Evelyn M. Thomas; children: Charley Thomas (Leah), Joseph Thomas (Jolena), Bethi BearCub-Hudson (Phillip Sr.), Shawnee BearCub (Brent) and Mary George (Ray); grandchildren: Raymond and Terry Yazzie, Philmani and Pharaoh Hudson, Germaine SittingCrow, Shayanne Marchand and Carmen, Dakota and Kaloniah Thomas; brothers: Albert Thomas (Debbie) and Louie Andrews Jr. (Laurie); sister Alberta Thomas and his lifetime companion and soul-mate Charlene BearCub. He will be greatly missed.
A recitation of the Rosary and wake was held at the Nespelem Community Center on Sunday evening. December 23, 2012. A funeral mass held at 10 a.m., on Monday, Dec. 24, 2012, with Ron's burial next to "Sonny" following in the Little Nespelem Cemetery.
An on-line register book for friends and family to sign is available at http://www.stratefuneralhome.com. Strate Funeral home of Grand Coulee, is very honored to be serving Ron's family

Action Alert Last Minute Call: 24 Hours to Improve Toxics Law
Bill 167,the Toxics Reduction Act, has the potential to dramatically increase public knowledge about toxics in the environment, in the workplace, and in consumer products. It could also sharply reduce exposure to toxics, and this is important because
However, there are serious gaps in the legislation. It lacks any targets; it does not include mandatory substitution of safer chemicals; it lacks a funding mechanism for the capacity-building institutions required; it does not establish a toxics use reduction institute of the type that enabled the success of similar legislation in Massachusetts; and it excludes too many emitters (due to exclusion of many toxics, exclusion of all but the biggest emitters and exclusion of many industries).
Now is the time to make Bill 167 achieve its potential and dramatically change the way toxics are handled in
Here's what you can do.

OAK PARK (AP) – Gov. Pat Quinn says he'll make a decision on whether to sign a concealed carry bill "very shortly."
Illinois faces a July 9 deadline to legalize carry of weapons after a federal appeals court found Illinois' ban unconstitutional. But Quinn has given few hints about what he'll do, even after lawmakers asked him to make a decision quickly to they can plan next steps.
Quinn could veto the measure which outlines who can carry. Quinn declined to give details Monday after signing a school safety bill. He says a decision is "imminent."
Experts argue about what happens if Illinois doesn't have laws in place by the deadline. Gun-rights advocates say it would mean any gun could be carried anywhere. Others say it would allow local municipalities to adopt carry laws.

Some pics to begin with...
I´ve decided to start a thread about a massive fetish of mine. Share pics, videos, and experiences. Have fun!
Some pics to begin with...
Lockers, one of the best places to spy on guys
I get off on spycam videos too . . . love seeing guys naked, masturbating, or having sex when they don't know they are being filmed. Two good free web sites for these kinds of videos are: Spy Cams from Guys and Spy Cams from Guys Archives. Does anyone know of others?
Love this kind of action in the locker room.
Spyonguys.com features a significant numbe of videos from showers, locker room, even men's rooms to include guys at the urinal and even taking a dump. Would love someone to post any vids from the latter. They used to be on toiletboiz but somehow vanished.
This blog
Toiletboiz just came back earlier this week. Finally. I dunno what happened but they started a new site so not all the old vids are back up. They have some new rules about joining too. Here's the address if you want to check it out. http://grou.ps/dirtyboiz/home
Chek out this spycam in a locker!!!
more locker pics
This is a big one for me. I especially like it when I see other guys jerking off watching some other guy through a window. I think I'm more excited by the "might get caught feeling" versus actually getting caught. 'though there are some xtube vids of guys jerking off in their car and then actually getting caught by passers by. Even if their fake I enjoy the "spying using hiddden camera videos - like Straight Guys caught on Tape series...
I also like to see guys who show off in windows. One of my standard xtube searches is for guys in the windows jerking off...

Greg, from your post #7, I really like
I especially like Russian Military Life #4.
Thank you very much for sharing.
i love this thread
An old pic I always liked
nice butt..just perfect!
I'd love to set up a spy cam in my guest room for when hot company come to stay the weekend. But I think I'd feel too bad about it afterwards. Hot fantasy though!!!
strange, I find this thread problematic, the places I go, the last thing I want is photographs, which then make face tagging, and then, all sorts of matters which one might not want....
I rather thought JuB had a policy consent?
this is also my favourite and biggest fetish
i have always liked this. I remember when i was a kid we had this bathroom that had a big cupboard door to the linen closet in it. the bottom part of the closet was like a dirty close hamper and you could sit in it, it was so big. When i was like 10-12 i sued to sneak in there and open the door a crack and watch my brother take a shower. I loved doing that but stopped when he caught me when i was about to turn 13. but until then it was good times!!!
while sleeping
taken from Spy Cam Dude
Take care of dogs when you go to shower, Yeah I know the naked dog was filmed without his consent. Big deal. Horror. Drama. Civil rights.
Pleasureable to the most if it's unaware .
naked weigh in HOT!!!
I so have this fetish!!! I have never recorded anybody having sex with self or others without their knowing but it is so hot to fantasize abut it. Every site I've visited that says they're hidden spy cams always has a disclaimer in the fine print that stats all people knew. Bummer. I have "spied" on my 20ish uncle jacking in front of and blowing an awesome cum shot onto the bathroom counter and mirror, spied on my brother and our cousin giving each other a cum spurting hand job in the barn and spieng on my coaches changing cloths in their office. People will, of course, do things they normally wouldn't do when they don't think people are watching, like my uncle sniffing his cum covered hand and smiling. Still gives me a raging stiffy thinking about it. Anybody else have any experiences?
Cool thread
I am soo fucking hard after this...
Love spycams and hidden cams-my favourite fetish
Russian military spy cam
the video here:http://**********************.blogsp...oker-room.html
bent over
I love spycam, especially when it's to do with fit men using the urinal or the toilet. Love seeing guys letting the golden water out of their cocks, or on the toilet going red while they push out a fat turd. I often spy on guys dumping if I am in a toilet where you can do that. It needs to be a quiet place.
Our neighbors were having some work done in there house and had to move out for a few days. We are very friendly with this married couple and there two young children so they stayed with us.
He is 35,medium height and build and very good looking.
The first night he headed for the bathroom to showed be
fore going to bed.The bathroom he was using is on the first floor.I had fixed the blind in the room so it looked closed when you were in the bathroom. Standing outside in the dark I had a clear view into the room from the toilet under the window to the glass enclosed shower.
I felt guilty spying on him,but was back at that window the next three nights.
caught pissing

Kesu, Kachnaar, Shareeh & Amaltaas, I grow all these flowers just for you...
I'll tuck a Ketaki in your tresses, see that it doesn't fritter away...
And I'll pluck lacs of bluish violet buds of Dharek, to scatter on your veil;
Feathery brushes of 'Chari' I'll turn into a Paraanda & pleat your braid; & dot your veil's edges with ' Sanh's' bushy
We'll make broad bangles, nexklace, a 'tikka', anklets & eardrops from 'Alsi'.
And I wait for wheat-shots to turn golden to make hair clips.
With hair pleaded into tiny braids, and chnni around your neck, your charm will tease the world.
Honor the poor blooms of the 'Kikkar' & make one or two rings.
Sweet-smelling florets are falling off the Eucalyptus, kiss them.
The world plucks buds that dangle from branches, let's value blooms fallen on the floor.
I've planted a fragrant 'Marua', come & feed it water with your beautiful hands;
And I've got a lehnga made out of an ivy, just wear and show if it fits...
And I'll dot its edges with wads of 'Kaahi', so that you can wear it in the sunny days of early Spring...
When we plant a Gulmohar, embroider the Phulkari with its blooms.
And to sprout white flowers on your crimson kurti, come visiting for three four days
We have to travel Malwa because there is no cotton buds in Doaba.
Golden strands of corn will be my turban's plume & the dowry will be its grains,
We'll color our veils & turbans pink, and Sartaaj will line his eyes with Kohl too,
When bamboos come to flower, dreams are wedded then, to find their face....

Arsenal | Santi Cazorla
In a season where Arsenal have been struggling to show consistency, their performances have been linked to the form of the Spanish playmaker. When he is on song, Arsenal play well. 11 goals and seven assists is an impressive return in the very first season for the Spaniard.
Runner Up | Jack Wilshere
Aston Villa | Christian Benteke
Benteke has proven himself to be the best amongst the Didier Drogba impersonators in the country. While his goals have kept Villa above the relegation zone, his overall gameplay is very impressive considering he pushed Darren Bent to the bench. Villa would do very well to hold on to him next season.
Runner Up | Andreas Wiemann
Chelsea | Juan Mata
In his two seasons in England, Mata has quickly established himself as the best playmaker in the Premier League. With 10 goals and 10 assists he leads the Premier League assist charts and his link up play with Hazard is a joy to behold.
Runner Up | Frank Lampard
Everton | Marouane Fellaini
Whether Everton make it to the Champions League places or not, Marouane Fellaini is one player who should be playing in the Champions League next year. The impressive Belgian has scored five goals and assisted another five. Even though his quality was always there to see he was not scoring as many goals. With Cahill departing this season Fellaini has stepped up his game.
Runner Up | Leighton Baines
Fulham | Bryan Ruiz
Even though the classy Berbatov wins all the plaudits in this Fulham side. Their most important player has been Bryan Ruiz. Even though he doesn't score many goals or assist them. His contribution cannot be measured in goals. With him in the side Fulham play a whole lot better. And when he was out injured for a part of the season, Fulham has a horrendous run.
Runner Up | Dimitar Berbatov
Liverpool | Luis Suarez
There are many detractors for Luis Suarez. His diving has created a 'love to hate' pantomime villain out of the Merseyside hit-man. But one thing that cannot be denied is this Uruguayan is one of the most talented players currently playing in the premier league. With Liverpool having only one senior striker for a major part of the season, he has taken on the mantle of chief provider and scorer for a struggling Liverpool side and leads the race for Golden Boot. And any ambitions that Liverpool hold for next season depends to a lot on Suarez.
Runner Up | Steven Gerrard
Manchester City | Matija Nastasic
In a season where Manchester City's title defense has been over even before it has really started, Nastasic has been a shining ray of hope. With Vincent Kompany struggling with injuries and Joleon Lescott losing the trust of the Manager, the 19-year-old Serbian has been a rock at the back for the reigning champions. His composure on the ball far belies his young age and this is the only transfer City got right in the past transfer window.
Runner Up | Carlos Tevez
Manchester United | Robin van Persie
Robin van Persie left Arsenal at the end of last season to win trophies and he might accomplish winning his first Premier League crown in the coming months. Many questioned Alex Ferguson for spending £24 million on a 29-year-old, but the Dutchman has repaid the amount in stunning fashion. Even though this United side have not been vintage their points tally is very impressive and it is in a large part due to this prolific Dutch maestro.
Runner Up | Michael Carrick
Newcastle | Yohan Cabaye
Newcastle were always going to struggle to reach the heady heights of last season. But one of the standout performers was Cabaye. It was indeed a surprise that none of the bigger clubs were tempted to bid for this established French international. Calm and composed passing and a thunderous shot make him very dangerous for the opponents. With Tiote struggling for form and Demba Ba sold in January, where Newcastle finish will depend heavily on Cabaye.
Runner Up | Moussa Sissokho
Norwich | Sebastian Bassong
Many predicted Norwich to struggle this season with Paul Lambert going to Aston Villa. And a start of the season 5-0 thrashing meant they were facing an uphill task to survive in the Premier League. But signing Bassong proved a masterstroke. His contribution on both ends of the field has ensured that Norwich city will still be a Premier League team come May.
Runner Up | Wes Hoolahan

In only his third day on the job, William Cox still has not gotten used to being called "chief." The newest chief of the Philadelphia Police Department was sworn in on Wednesday and still has some of those butterflies from when he found out the Board of Aldermen approved him as the new chief.
"I was very excited, a little apprehensive at first cause I do recognize the level of commitment and seriousness to the job, but very excited overall to have the opportunity to serve not only the city but the citizens of Philadelphia as chief," Cox says.
Cox has served with the Philadelphia Police Department for the last several years, and he wants to use his knowledge of the force to improve it for the better.
Cox says he wants to "Sit down together with my staff and come up with goals oriented for each shift, for the department as a whole, to reach more people for our community, make a change, and do the things we need to do to provide a level of service people expect, and that people can feel safe at night when they go home."
The goals Cox wants to set for the department will strive to make the department even better, and Cox says he will measure success based on impressions from the community.
"I think for me," Cox explains, "the defining moment will be the community feeling they have a professional department that is on par with any other city around here. A department that they can look on with pride; that they know they have officers who are here to serve and protect them, and they provide them a level of professionalism that's on par with any department in the state."
Cox is a Philadelphia native who graduated from Leake Academy. He holds a degree in psychology from Mississippi State University and has been a law enforcement officer for the past 12 years, serving as a detective at the Philadelphia Police Department for the last 3 years.

Early, Late Runs Push Duke Past Johns Hopkins, 19-11, in NCAA Quarterfinals
May 18, 2014
Johns Hopkins-Duke Postgame Quotes
NEWARK, DE - The top-seeded Duke mens's lacrosse team scored the first six goals of the game and seven of the final eight as the Blue Devils eased past unseeded Johns Hopkins, 19-11, in the NCAA Quarterfinals at Delaware Stadium on the campus of the University of Delaware on Sunday. The Devils improve to 15-3 and advance to the NCAA Semifinals for the eighth straight season, while Johns Hopkins had its season end with an 11-5 record.
Johns Hopkins had cut the early 6-0 deficit to 12-8 at the half and got back to-back goals from sophomore Holden Cattoni in the first six minutes of the second half to slice the deficit to 12-10 with 9:16 left in the third quarter. From there, Duke scored the next two goals to push the lead to 14-10 and then controlled the fourth quarter to secure the win.
After Cattoni's pair, Duke's Jordan Wolf pushed the lead to 13-10 with an unassisted goal just 52 seconds later. The Blue Jays killed off a man-down situation a short time later and twice had possession with a chance to cut farther into the lead, but a pair of turnovers ultimately led to another goal by Wolf to account for the 14-10 Blue Devil lead at the end of the third quarter.
A goal by junior Wells Stanwick just 46 seconds into the fourth quarter made it 14-11 with plenty of time remaining, but that would be the last goal of the game for the Blue Jays, who held Duke scoreless for the first six minutes of the final period before a Case Matheis goal at the 8:54 mark ignited a 5-0 game-ending run for the Devils. Matheis bookended the run, which included two more goals by Wolf and one by Myles Jones.
The late-game surge didn't look like it would be necessary early on as the Blue Devils led 6-0 before the game was 10 minutes old and 7-3 at the end of the first quarter. Josh Dionne scored three of his four goals on the day in the first 14 minutes as the Blue Devils scored on seven of their 14 first-quarter shots.
The Blue Jays slowly started to creep back into the game late in the first quarter as Rob Guida and Brandon Benn scored back-to-back goals in a span of just under a minute and Guida answered Dionne's third tally with an extra-man goal in the final minute to make it 7-3.
Like they had in the first quarter, the Devils struck quickly in the second as Dionne's extra-man goal just under two minutes into the period was followed by the first of Wolf's five goals on the day 76 seconds later.
Duke pushed the lead to first-half high of seven at 12-5 with an unassisted goal by Jones with just over five minutes left in the first half, but the Blue Jays scored the final three goals of the half to account for a 12-8 halftime score. Cattoni opened the spree when he scored off an assist from Stanwick, while Reed and freshman John Crawley added unassisted strikes in the final 2:24.
Reed would get the helper on Cattoni's two goals early in the third quarter, but Wolf answered a short time later to spark the 7-1 game-ending run for the Blue Devils, who methodically ran their offense and pulled away to lock down their spot in the national semifinals.
Wolf paced the Blue Devils with five goals and three assists, while Jones (3g, 4a) Matheis (3g, 2a) and Dionne (4g) all finished with at least four points. Senior Brendan Fowler won 17-of-33 faceoffs and grabbed 13 ground balls for Duke, which held advantages in shots (44-35) and ground balls (37-19).
Guida and Cattoni both posted hat tricks and Reed added the one goal and a career-high four assists to give the Blue Jays' first midfield a combined seven goals and four assists. Stanwick added a goal and three assists and senior Eric Schneider finished with 10 saves in goal for the Blue Jays.
Notes: Benn (40) and Brown (40) are the first Johns Hopkins teammates to score 40 or more goals in the same season since Terry Riordan (52) and Brian Piccola (41) in 1995 ... this is just the third time its been done Stanwick's three assists give him 44 on the year, the fourth-highest single-season total in school history Stanwick's 67 points are the most by a Johns Hopkins player since Riordan had 69 in 1995 Johns Hopkins was 3-for-3 on EMO and finished the season 30-of-55 (.545).

Ultramark: The Right Tool for All Microplate Analysis Applications
Standard Colorimetric ELISA
This is one of the most common uses for 96-well plates, and is increasingly being used in 384- and 1,536-well formats. The Ultramark reader has the unique ability to read any plate format up to 1,536 wells, to work with an optional feeder/stacker, and to function in a completely automated robotic environment.
General Cell Screening
This remains a vital part of drug discovery methodology; researchers routinely add drug candidates to cell colonies in 96-well plates and monitor cell viability in solution over a 24-hour period. The Ultramark is the only microplate reader that can achieve resolution of 500 µm, guaranteeing accurate results every time.
Microplate Manager Software
The flexibility of the Ultramark system can be utilized to full potential with this sophisticated software. Microplate Manager software makes both the standard microplate and imaging read modes of Ultramark exceptionally easy to use. The software expands your range of data analysis options to include kinetics, curve fit, and screening, and adds the functionality of flexible template creation for any microplate format up to 1,536 wells. You can perform one reading at the center of each well, or scan the entire plate surface to capture a high-resolution image.
Simply define the template parameters, perform a read, and Microplate Manager software does the rest. Immediately following a read, you'll receive an array of values for either manual or automatic data analysis.

More than half a million people work for the U.S. Postal Service making it the seventh largest employer in the world. But like a lot of other businesses, this one is being hit hard by the tough economy and transformed by the Internet.
Today, only three percent of what the Postal Service handles is actually letters. Just in the last four years mail volume is down 20 percent, so the agency is struggling to reinvent itself. But change isn't easy. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe went to Congress recently to ask for help, but his plan could mean layoffs, post office closings and the end of Saturday delivery.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) blames the leaders of the Postal Service for its problems and wants the service to be under tighter controls. He says the agency's $15 billion in debt – their credit limit — is a sign that they have "more than a small cash flow problem."
Issa's plan would create a "control board" that could, among other things, re-negotiate union contracts. Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE) agrees there's a problem with the Postal Service, but the solution he's proposing is very different.
"Part of what we need to do is to enable the Postal Service to take the steps that are appropriate [and] right size their enterprise for the 21st Century, much like the auto industry did a couple of years ago," Carper told weekends on All Things Considered guest host Rachel Martin.
One of the Postal Service's current complications is 2006 legislation that says the agency must set aside upwards of $5 billion to $6 billion to have on hand to pay for health benefits for retiring employees. Carper says almost no state or local governments — and very few private companies — do something similar.
Carper says one solution could be taking money from one of two pension plans that he says the Postal Service might have overpaid into. If that is indeed the case, he says that money could instead be used to absorb that cost of health care benefits for retirees.
"The money could be drawn down from one of the overpayments and used over a number of years to prepay retiree health benefits for pensioners," Carper says.
Regardless of what plans the Postal Service moves forward with, Carper says the bottom line is that they cannot continue to do business as usual.
Thinking Globally
So what model would work for the U.S. Postal Service? James Campbell, co-editor of the Handbook of Worldwide Postal Reform, says the U.S. could learn lessons from postal systems in other countries.
Campbell says that what's happened in other industrialized countries is similar to what's happened in the U.S. – most notably the decline in mail.
"In general, other countries have looked at this situation and decided [they] have to allow the post office to become more commercial and make them become commercial," Campbell says.
Campbell cites postal systems in Germany, Sweden and New Zealand that have allowed their post offices to become more profitable, more commercial and more customer oriented in order to survive.
Germany in particular has rethought its transportation network, sorting systems and has expanded globally. In 2002, Deutsche Post, Germany's postal service, acquired leading international transportation company DHL.
"Their view is that the express business and package business is a global business," Campbell says.
The U.S. Postal Service is beginning to act more commercial through partnerships with Federal Express and UPS, Campbell says. It's a natural partnership because Federal Express has an excellent collection system, while the Postal Service has a great household delivery system.
Post offices are another area where other postal systems have streamlined. In Germany, Deutsche Post only operates a single post office, Campbell says. All of the remaining post offices are operated by small businesses or retail stores.
"They find that they wind up providing better service [and] longer hours at lower cost by this sort of a system," he says. "It's possible to imagine in the U.S. that the post office adapts and transforms into another useful, important operation – but it's not going to be a carrier of letters and sentiments."
The Rural Post
Though trimming the number of post offices in the U.S. might save the Postal Service money, the loss could be felt in other ways.
Tom Gamble has been with the Postal Service for 24 years, currently as a rural carrier along a route in Middleton, Ohio. Gamble is also the president of the state's Association of Rural Letter Carriers.
Gamble says the loss of post offices in rural communities would have a devastating effect there.
"There are a lot of people in the rural community that rely heavily on the post office," Gamble says, "we carry feed, livestock, seed – a lot of things that the rural community depends on."
Gamble has delivered everything from baby chickens to rabbits and even crickets to rural customers. He says for some folks in rural communities the postal carrier might be the only person they see for weeks.
"There's countless stories of carriers that have been looking out for some of their older customers and saved the lives of customers because their mail started to build up the mailbox," he says. "We kind of keep an eye on the neighborhoods."
Gamble says as the Postal Service evolves and the pressure builds to do more in less time, carriers have less time to communicate with their customers. He says he feels like he's part of the family with some customers, but that could all start to change.
"I know who's in trouble and who's not, just by the mail that comes out. I know who's having a birthday and who's lost a loved one," he says. "You just can't replace those kinds of things."

ChinaNet bestows free Wi-Fi upon lucky Android few
Shanghai phone booths get souped up
ChinaNet, the ISP brand of China Telecom, has launched a public Wi-Fi service in 500 of its Shanghai telephone booths, and while most users will have to pay Android handsets get in for free.
The service launched on 15 March, and covers the Yu Garden, Huaihai Road and the People's Square. ChinaNet helpfully describes the Wi-Fi service in the People's Daily as "18 times faster" than the existing 3G coverage, but it's the decision to provide free connectivity to Android devices using the ChinaNet dialler that has attracted most attention.
"The service should be offered free for all smartphone users regardless of their mobile OS," points out Asian Tech Blog Penn Olson, not unreasonably arguing that all mobile phones should be considered equal.
There has been much talk of tariffs based on the device being connected - laptop users could pay more than those with a tablet, while smartphone users pay less still on the grounds they consume less bandwidth, and so on. But as the categories of device blur together that gets difficult, and it's arguable how effective such a policy would be.
We've asked ChinaNet what's motivated them to give Android users a free ride, and we'll let you know when we hear back. ®

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jhoulys Chacin allowed one run on six hits over eight innings and the Colorado Rockies snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.
Chacin (10-5), who has won seven of his past nine decisions, stayed in the game after taking a sharp line drive off the bat of Starling Marte in the fifth inning.
Colorado's Troy Tulowitzki had a solo homer and an RBI single, and Todd Helton had a two-run single 17 years to the day after making his major-league debut in the same city.
The Rockies were coming off being outscored 40-13 by Atlanta in a four-game sweep at Turner Field. They won despite their lineup missing two of their best hitters for the second consecutive game — Michael Cuddyer is away on a family emergency and Carlos Gonzalez entered the game in the eighth inning after aggravating a sprained right middle finger on Wednesday night.
Neil Walker had two doubles for the Pirates (65-44), who came in with the best record in the majors.
Pittsburgh has been outscored 17-2 in losing its past two after taking over the best record in the NL with four straight wins over the St. Louis Cardinals this week.
The Pirates scored in the ninth with consecutive one-out doubles by Andrew McCutchen and Pedro Alvarez off temporary closer Rex Brothers. But Russell Martin flied out to deep center and pinch-hitter Gaby Sanchez lined out to right to end it, earning Brothers his eighth save in nine opportunities.
Pirates rookie Gerrit Cole (5-5) needed 102 pitches to make it through 5 1-3 innings, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts. Cole dropped to 1-5 since winning his first four major league starts.
Chacin is 7-2 with a 2.24 ERA since June 11 — the same day as Cole's debut.
Chacin retired the final 14 he faced — the last nine coming after a liner off the bat of Starling Marte deflected off his forearm to shortstop Tulowitzki, who threw to first to complete the putout.
Chacin grimaced and shook his arm, but appeared to tell catcher Wilin Rosario, manager Walt Weiss and a member of the training staff that he was fine. Chacin retreated from the dugout into the tunnel after the inning ended but returned for the bottom of the sixth following a lengthy wait because his team sent eight men to the plate and scored three runs in the top half.
Chacin lowered his road ERA to a NL-best 1.78.
Tulowitzki was coming off a series in which he went 0 for 10 and was ejected for arguing a called third strike Thursday. The All-Star's home run, which led off the second inning, was his 20th.
It ended the Pirates' streak of not allowing a homer at PNC Park over the previous seven games.
Tulowitzki's other RBI came in the sixth when he chopped a ball high in the air between the pitching mound and first base with runners at first and third and one out. Garret Jones fielded it but had little chance to record an out, particularly with the speedy Dexter Fowler sprinting home.
After a Justin Wilson wild pitch, Helton followed by driving in Corey Dickerson and Tulowitzki with a single to left.
NOTES: Before the game, the Pirates swapped out a pair of relievers when they reinstated RHP Jared Hughes from the disabled list and optioned RHP Vic Black to Triple-A Indianapolis. … The paid attendance of 37,487 was the 10th sellout at PNC Park this season … This was the season's first meeting between the teams; each has now played every NL team. … Helton went 2-for-4 with a home run while batting fifth and playing left field for the Rockies in his first game in the majors Aug. 2, 1997, at Three Rivers Stadium. … He's 14 innings short of qualifying for the league leaders, but Saturday Pittsburgh starter LHP Francisco Liriano (11-4, 2.16) would rank second in the NL in ERA if he did. Rockies counterpart LHP Jorge De La Rosa (10-5, 3.21) allowed a season-high five runs in his most recent outing for Colorado.

And a happy July Fourth to Mayor Nutter — or will it be?
The mayor was on hand to help kick off the 10-day Welcome America festival last weekend, making an appearance at Penn's Landing, where a concert and fireworks show took place.
He was introduced. He got on stage. And then came the boos. Loud, repetitive and distinct.
They came just as Nutter was getting ready to hand the microphone over to Morris Day & The Time. (Think Purple Rain, circa 1984?)
And they also came from an audience that was mostly African American — interesting, since a winter poll by the Pew Charitable Trusts indicated that the mayor was far more popular with whites in the city than African Americans.
Of course, being mayor and being booed is hardly unique to Nutter. John F. Street was on the receiving end of an unhappy audience in 2004, when he was introduced at the opening of Philadelphia's new ballpark. And Ed Rendell was shouted down at an Eagles game.
"It's Philadelphia. Santa Claus got booed, and it's a tough home crowd," Nutter spokesman Doug Oliver said.
He added: "If only we could be so lucky as to have a story written every time that same audience cheered for the mayor, because he is frequently well-received."
UPDATE: Good news for the mayor, according to Oliver. Nutter took the stage about 8 p.m. Saturday to introduce the Philadelphia Orchestra, and guess what? No boos. There's more. "Very diverse crowd - including African Americans," Oliver wrote in an email. "Big cheer."

"I had a fantastic time bringing 'Pirates' to life, and I am eternally grateful to Jerry, Johnny and the rest of the creative and production team," said Verbinski in a statement. "I'm looking forward to all of us crossing paths again in the future."
According to a trade article carried by Latino Review, Universal Pictures' BioShock movie is on target to begin production in 2010.
John Logan (The Aviator, Star Trek: Nemesis) is set to pen the screenplay for BioShock, while Verbinski will likely direct. BioShock creator Ken Levine is apparently being "regularly consulted" during pre-production.

Which appliance is the energy hog? It's not your air conditioner
Actually, in terms of overall electricity usage in households, air conditioners use the most on a continual basis, followed by refrigerators. But on a unit per hour basis, air conditioners are not that bad, even though they've been made the villain by the media. Broadcasters, in particular, are offering tips to households on how to cut down on energy consumption and the main suggestion is to set your air conditioner at 28 degrees centigrade. Because so many people, in particular the elderly, have fallen victim to heat stroke, no one is saying to turn off the air conditioner any more, but the general consensus is that the average air conditioner in the average home uses about 130 watts of energy and, overall, accounts for a bit less than a fourth of the summer electricity bill, which gives you some idea of the savings potential.
What the media doesn't say, according to an article in the most recent issue of Shukan Post, is that there is another appliance in your house that actually uses more electricity. A typical large screen (over 37 inches) LCD television set uses on average 220 watts, or 70 percent more energy than the air conditioner if both are being used continuously, but, of course, media companies aren't going to suggest you turn off the TV because that would hurt their business.

My kid saw that. Not because I took him to a movie wholly inappropriate for his age. Not because I quit parenting and just told him to turn on the TV at 10 p.m. and watch whatever. Not because I turned on a show this morning that he had no business watching with me. —Rebeca Seitz
Rebeca Seitz was enjoying a pastry and cereal with her 8-year-old son one morning last week while watching ABC's "Good Morning America" when she was suddenly shocked by what came across her TV screen.
After quickly distracting her son and removing him from the room, Seitz returned to her television to double check what she thought she had seen. Rewinding to find the commercial again, Seitz saw the same intimate image during the advertisement for the station's upcoming fall series "Betrayal."
"The GMA segment went to commercial. And then, wham. Confusion. Disbelief. Did that just flash on my TV screen? In front of 8-year-old Andy?! No way," Seitz wrote on her blog.
"I hit pause, grabbed my iPhone, snapped a picture, and then got the image off the screen before Andy could see again or Ella could find out why Mommy's face registered shock."
Seitz had just viewed ABC's 30-second trailer packed full of steamy images at 8:30 in the morning with text that had read:
"They're married. To other people. Nothing is more dangerous than betrayal."
"I rewound it because I thought there's simply no way that we saw what we saw, so I thought I'll rewind and see what we actually saw and be able to explain to (Andy) that he didn't see what he thought he saw," Seitz said during an interview with CNN. "Then I rewound and saw, no no, we saw exactly what we thought we saw."
Seitz took a picture in order to post it on Facebook and begin a discussion about what she had viewed that morning. But Seitz was forced to then bring the discussion to her blog after Facebook quickly removed her picture because it had been reported as "inappropriate due to nudity" and she was told that she had violated community standards.
"It's amazing to me that ABC has lower standards than Facebook does," Glenn Beck expressed during his interview with Seitz regarding the commercial.
Throughout many interviews and on her blog, this mother of two has made it clear that while she understands the station can choose which primetime shows it airs, there should be a difference between what airs at 8 in the morning compared to 8 at night.
"I understand we've ceded the idea of morality in primetime. A moronic move, but one we (and by 'we' I mean Jesus-following folk) have to own. But this wasn't primetime. This was a commercial about a primetime show airing while we all enjoy corn flakes and coffee and wish our kiddos a good morning," Seitz wrote on her blog.
"My kid saw that. Not because I took him to a movie wholly inappropriate for his age. Not because I quit parenting and just told him to turn on the TV at 10 p.m. and watch whatever. Not because I turned on a show this morning that he had no business watching with me."
Seitz has since filed a complaint with the FCC and spoken with the general manager of her local ABC affiliate as well as the PR representative for the series "Betrayal."
"I called the PR director for the show and what she said to me, very quickly, was, she said, 'I'm not responsible for it. I did see that you had done an interview about it and you had put it on your blog, and so I have let other people know and I'm going on vacation," Seitz recalled on CNN.
Since her post, Seitz's blog has received more than 40,000 views and has generated hundreds of comments. Discussing what action should be taken, Seitz has stated that she doesn't believe in simply giving up on media.
"That's been the real eye-opener to all of these responses on my blog and on the Blaze, is how many of these people are posting, 'Well, I just threw out the cable box,' 'I threw out the television years ago and we just don't have it.' And I keep asking these people, 'Well, if you do that, what will our children have in 10 years?' " Seitz said during an interview with Beck.
"If we just leave then we have no voice. We have no say in what's on that TV if we just leave. We have to stay and fix it."
Seitz has since posted an update on her blog discussing this problem, asking how society can make a difference and change the lack of values in the media.
"We can't let this go," Seitz wrote. "We can't relegate it to the bin of 'stuff we can't do anything about' and move on like it didn't happen, can we? How do we justify seeing evil and walking away?"

Shock probation was denied to a Radcliff woman who robbed Magnolia Bank in March 2007.
Sherry Jensen, 38, of Radcliff, entered a guilty plea to first-degree robbery in LaRue Circuit Court last May. Jensen has been incarcerated since her arrest.
According to court records, she walked in the Magnolia bank with a loaded handgun and demanded money from a teller. She was apprehended minutes later by officers from the LaRue County Sheriff's Department as she drove north on U.S. 31E.

On April 22nd and 29th, 2013 the City Council took an important step in the General Plan Update process. The Council reviewed and provided direction on changes to eight components to the Land Use and Mobility Elements and directed city staff to study the environmental impacts of those changes. These eight components include changes to the guiding principles, new policy topic areas, new development caps, a revised Land Use Diagram, and other items. The exhibits below demonstrate the City Council's approvals.
These exhibits do not represent the final version of the update, but an agreed upon set of documents on which analysis can begin. Once the environmental impact report (EIR) is complete and the impacts of the proposed changes are known, the City Council can make further changes to the Plan.
Principles, Objectives, and Policies (Document) – The General Plan is based on a set of visionary principles; these principles are implemented by objectives and policies.
Specific Plan Boundaries (Map) – Specific plans are areas that are targeted for a significant portion of projected future development. The General Plan provides a vision for each Specific Plan; staff is recommending modifying the vision and consequently the boundaries of some of these plans.
Land Use Diagram (Map) – The Land Use Diagram designates each property with a land use designation. These designations define, generally, the uses that can operate at that site, and a maximum intensity of development.
Development Levels – These figures represent the maximum level of residential units and commercial square footage that can be constructed within the defined specific plan areas and citywide.
Environmental Impact Report
An Environmental Impact Report, or EIR, will study the impact of the changes proposed as part of the General Plan update. The EIR explains the environmental impacts of the land use and mobility choices proposed. The first step in the preparation of this document will be to solicit your input so that we can include it in the EIR topic areas (such as transportation, land use, and greenhouse gas emissions) that are important to the community. This will be the first of several opportunities for the public to comment on the environmental process. For additional opportunities to give input, see the EIR Roadmap below.
Environmental Review – An overview of the environmental review process.

Your mother has entered hospice care, and she is declining quickly. Suddenly there are a million questions you are supposed to have answered in advance: Is there a will? What should we do with the house, the china, the dog? Most of them involve money, beloved objects, or family history, but in the digital age, there are also less tangible assets we almost never think about.
Like most Americans, our loved ones will most likely access more than two dozen password-protected sites on different computers and smartphones, storing and sharing the vulnerable, mundane, and whimsical details of life while connecting with family and friends. The average American values his or her digital assets, such as photo libraries, personal communication, and entertainment files, at about $55,000, a value based on sentimental attachments as well as financial investments in music, applications, and software. As we plan for inheriting the house and family keepsakes, we must include our digital lives, as well. And, as we help our parents plan, we need to take care of our own digital presence.
Risk number 1: online bills
When Cara, 22, graduated from college, she returned home to spend the summer with her mother. After her mother was hospitalized for a heart attack, Cara spent every moment she could at her mother's bedside. When Cara returned home the night her mother died, the electricity was shut off. Apparently, she had been defaulting on online bills, not realizing there was no automatic payment system set up — or hard copies that would arrive each month as a reminder that payment was due.
Although Cara was able to find all of her mother's log-ins for bill payment on her computer, she did not have all of the passwords to access the accounts. She tried to convert the online bills to paper statements, a process that wasn't easy.
Having all log-ins and passwords for bill payments and financial accounts in one secure place would have helped Cara, especially at a time when she was emotionally and physically exhausted. So how do you do that?
If you ask five Internet security experts to list their favorite way to store passwords, you're likely to come up with more than five answers.
First, of course, is simply to keep a handwritten list, stored somewhere safe or with someone you trust, and inform your next of kin where it is.
For more security (and legibility), you could keep the list on your computer, and even password-protect it — so long as you can remember the password.
Next, you can use one of the online password-protection companies. C-Net provides comprehensive reviews of technology and lists more than 700 password managers. Among the most widely used are 1Password, which, for a fee, can help you not only create strong passwords, but help you remember and, if necessary, restore them. Also popular are several free services, including PasswordSafe and LastPass, which similarly offer the ability to help you create and retrieve passwords.
Risk number 2: loss of data
Judy and her father were always close, personally and professionally. For years, Judy served as business manager for her father's art gallery, where they informally shared access to the computer. Judy felt quietly confident that the electronically shared versions of her father's drawings as well as his client contacts were safe and accessible. A year after her father's sudden death, Judy realized that simple software updates can make previous versions of electronic treasures obsolete. Immediately, she set out to create hard copies of files she wanted to save and share.
Going beyond password protection, you should also think about how you'll want your accounts managed once you're no longer able to do so. In recent months, many new digital legacy planning tools have hit the market, designed to help us manage the ending of our online lives.
Google offers its Google Inactive Account Manager, which allows you to choose a trusted contact who will be notified by e-mail and phone when your account has been inactive after a specified length of time and who can be given access to the Google accounts you choose.
For all other accounts, you might want to look into a digital ''vault,'' a service that allows you to assign beneficiaries for each of your online accounts and safely store other aspects of your online presence there. For example, Legacy Locker explains that it allows account holders to save their online account information in a digital ''safety deposit box,'' and then specify ''beneficiaries'' to receive information about these accounts once Legacy Locker has verified the account holder's death. They also offer the ability to deliver ''Legacy Letters'' to friends or family members.
Similar services are provided by companies such as AssetLock, Cirrus Legacy, and SecureSafe. Note that while all of these sites can help you focus on digital asset preservation, their services may conflict with terms of service, click-through agreements, or relevant state and federal laws, and it is important to remember this throughout the planning process.
A foundational text is Evan Carroll and John Romano's ''Your Digital Afterlife.'' Their website includes strategies you can explore. Make sure that whatever tool you choose for digital estate planning is logical, easy to use, and most important, something you share with others.
Risk number 3: losing control of your legacy
Steve found out about his mother's Facebook account weeks after her death. He rarely uses social media, and he was surprised to learn his mother did. He waited several weeks before searching for her page, faring what he might learn. For decades, their relationship had been strained. When he was a child, she had left their family and moved several states away, leaving Steve to carry feelings of abandonment for most of his life. When she entered hospice care, he reluctantly agreed to move her into his home and care for her in her final months. Small moments of reconciliation happened, but learning of the Facebook account made him realize there might be a lot he did not know.
Deep relief and quiet joy filled him as he read her public status updates expressing gratitude for her son's sacrifices for her. Because he was unaware of his mother's digital life while she was alive, Steve could not share in this powerful moment with her. On a positive note, Facebook enabled Steve to learn more about his mother's private experiences, which will, in turn, shape the story he tells of her life to his children.
But what if he had discovered hurtful or confusing information? She would not have been there to confront, explain, or repair the relationship. A painful gap would be left in her story — and in his life. Inspired by this experience, Steve and his wife have committed to inventorying their digital assets to spare their own children anxiety. They are also painfully conscious of how others might react to what they post and understand that, if something happens to them, the person managing their estates will need access to the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Thinking about illness, death, and dying is something no one wants to do. Like Cara, Judy, and Steve, family caregivers will most likely be the ones to sort through a digital legacy, with or without a conversation. Planning for our digital assets can be a gift to ourselves and to those who grieve us, reducing the burden they will carry as they sort through our past and tell our story.
Far surpassing any monetary value, our digital assets hold tremendous sentimental value.Naomi Cahn is a George Washington University law professor. Amy Ziettlow is an affiliate scholar at the Institute for American Values.
