Extra-base outburst backs Bailey's best start of season
Three doubles, two homers seal second consecutive series win
CHICAGO -- Homer Bailey had received plenty of run support in his first three starts without a win to show for it. The right-hander, who signed a six-year, $105 million deal in the offseason, started the season 0-1 with an 8.16 ERA while failing to make it past the fifth inning in any of those three starts.
Bailey once again got plenty of support, and finally returned the favor. His outing wasn't always pretty, but Bailey tossed six shutout innings, scattering six hits, walking three and striking out eight to pick up his first win of the season and vault the Reds to an 8-2 win and series victory over the Cubs on Sunday at Wrigley Field.
Reds manager Bryan Price said before the game that Bailey's poor start to the season would turn around soon, and that his No. 3 starter was simply struggling with his command.
"No, actually," Bailey said when asked if he thought he showed his best command of the season. "I walked three people and wasn't too happy about it. It's just kind of the ups and downs and I'm still trying to catch that rhythm. It seems like every time I take the mound the bats show up and I'm just glad I was finally able to help them out."
Bailey only threw one 1-2-3 inning and had to pitch out of several jams. The Cubs put two on with one out in the first but Bailey struck out Nate Schierholtz and got Starlin Castro to pop out to second.
In the third, Emilio Bonifacio singled with one out and tried to take second on a delayed steal. He was initially called safe but Price challenged, and the call was overturned after a review. It was a big overturn for the Reds as Bailey plunked Ryan Sweeney and walked Anthony Rizzo before striking out Schierholtz again.
The Cubs put two more on with one out in the fifth, but Bailey retired Rizzo and Schierholtz to strand the pair. Zack Cozart ended the sixth with a nice running catch into the Cubs bullpen down the left-field line, leaving two in scoring position.
"He hasn't been his normal, dominant self but his slider has gotten a lot better," Price said. "It's a pitch he's worked on for a long time. It seems like that pitch has really turned the corner and got him some big outs today, some big strikeouts on both the left-handed and right-handed hitters and that was a great silver lining in what was a solid outing, but not his best."
The offensive star of the game was Cozart in the No. 8 hole. He went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, his first of the year, an RBI double and two runs scored, pacing a Reds offense that pounded out seven extra-base hits among 15 total. Cozart came into the series hitting .109. By game's end Sunday, he was up to .153, saying that "finally something" was working for him offensively.
"I've obviously been struggling a little bit, putting balls in play but not really finding holes," Cozart said. "I've felt better the past week just in general but still had nothing to show for it. The numbers show that, but today I just put some good swings on some balls and they found holes. Hopefully I can build on this and continue to get better."
"We're not going to expect three hits a game from him but he's a good offensive player, extremely capable offensive player and certainly his best days of the season are yet to come," Price said.
Honorable mention goes to Devin Mesoraco, who is red-hot at the plate. He finished 3-for-4 with an RBI double and two runs scored, raising his average to 515 (17-for-33) with three homers and 11 RBIs since coming off the disabled list April 8.
Cincinnati's No. 5 through 9 hitters collected 11 hits, scored six runs and drove in seven.
"For us to be where we want to be our 7-8-9, we need to pick it up and play well," Cozart said. Because we can't just rely on Joey [Votto] and Jay [Bruce] and Brandon [Phillips] just to get hits every time."
The Reds got on the board first with a three-run fourth inning. Mesoraco's two-out double scored Todd Frazier. Cozart followed with a run-scoring double of his own and Bailey helped his own cause with an RBI single to give the Reds a 3-0 lead.
Cincinnati again did damage the following inning with two outs. Back-to-back doubles by Bruce and Frazier made it 4-0 Reds. Ryan Ludwick tacked on one more with a single through the left side, scoring Frazier and chasing Cubs starter Carlos Villanueva.
The Reds went up, 8-0, in the seventh on Bruce's leadoff solo homer and Cozart's two-run shot.
"They did it throughout the lineup -- even Bailey got an RBI knock," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "All in all, I think we put together 11 or 12 hits, and ended up scoring a couple runs but we weren't able to minimize the damage as much as we'd like to."
Since starting the season 3-8, during which the Reds averaged just 2.5 runs per game, Cincinnati has turned things around offensively and the wins have followed. The Reds are scoring 5.8 runs per game during the current 5-2 stretch and have won their last two series after dropping the first four.
"Wasn't the prettiest game but we sure did swing the bats well," Price said. "Really nice to see that and really nice to have a spirited win on a getaway day and win the series."

Peach Bottom Station Environmental Monitoring Identifies Tritium On-Site
Delta, Pennsylvania - Peach Bottom nuclear plant workers performing environmental monitoring this week identified tritium in a localized area on plant property. The tritium was identified on July 8 from a sample that was drawn on July 6.
"This is not a public or employee health and safety issue, but we are committed to being open about the status of our plant operations," said Peach Bottom Site Vice President Bill Maguire. The elevated levels of tritium were found in an area adjacent to the Peach Bottom Unit 3 turbine building. The turbine building is centrally located on plant property and a significant distance from plant boundaries. Plant engineering and environmental teams are working to locate the tritium source and make the necessary repairs. Additional sample testing is being performed to verify that the tritium is contained to the area where it was found. No detectable levels of tritium have been found off-site.
The plant maintains an extensive environmental monitoring program, including routine water sampling from 22 on-site dedicated monitoring wells designed to detect unusual levels of tritium in the environment. The highest sample concentration showed tritium levels of approximately 123,000 picocuries per liter of water. A picocurie is one-trillionth of a curie, which is a measurement of radioactivity.
Exelon Nuclear officials notified state and federal authorities on Thursday after tritium in a sample was confirmed. Exelon will keep government regulators and the public informed about the progress the plant makes on finding the source and making the necessary repairs.
"Our environmental monitoring program works," Maguire said. "It alerted us to the presence of tritium early so that we can address the issue quickly." Tritium is a weak radiation emitter that is used commercially to make luminous dials and instruments, as a source of light for exit and safety signs, as a tracer for biochemical research and in ground water transport measurements, among other uses. A tritium fact sheet from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can be downloaded at http://www.epa.gov/radiation/radionuclides/tritium.html.

I am a US citizen and have a Chinese visa that expires later this year, but I am looking to go to China again this summer. I originally got this L visa for my trip this winter (which was fantastic). Can I use my visa again or do I have to get a new one?
If it makes a difference, Tibet and Taiwan are possible locations to visit. I have heard in passing that just an L visa won't work for places like Hong Kong, Tibet, and Taiwan. Something to do with coming in and out of "official China".
If anyone could shed some light, that would be great!

Duvel Moortgat, the Belgian owners of Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, N.Y. will purchase Boulevard Brewing Company of Kansas City, Mo. in a deal that will combine one of the country's largest craft breweries with the domestic and import branches of a high-end international brewing conglomerate in a separate holding company focused on U.S. sales.
The deal, announced Thursday afternoon, is expected to close before the end of the year. While terms were not disclosed, industry sources have estimated its value as at least $100 million.
Michel Moortgat, the chief executive officer of Duvel Moortgat, said the acquisition is initially being financed with bank debt that the company plans on reimbursing with cash flow from the parent company's international business.
Boulevard, which sold 173,793 barrels of beer in 2012, and Brewery Ommegang, which sold 37,800 hectoliters (approximately 32,200 barrels), will be rolled into a holding company that will also control all of Duvel Moortgat's import brands in the U.S. In 2012, the company sold a combined 63,200 hectoliters (about 53,800 barrels) in the U.S.
"It was a very interesting morning for me to come into my brewery, see the smokestacks and realize that henceforth, things will be a little different," said John McDonald, who started Boulevard in 1989. "I have been working on this for a couple years, trying to figure out the right path for the brewery. I really am excited about this merger. We couldn't have found a better partner and I am really excited about the future."
As part of the deal, McDonald will receive preferred stock in the new U.S. holding company; his role in the project has yet to be determined.
The deal will comprise the first major craft brewery acquisition since Goose Island was purchased by Anheuser-Busch InBev in March 2011, for $38.8 million.
Mr. Moortgat said he believes the greatest synergy lies at the intersection of the two companies' distribution footprints, which only have 23 states and Washington, D.C. in common, leaving plenty of room for growth.
"The combination of Boulevard and Duvel makes us a bigger and more important business partner for our wholesalers," he said.
No employees will lose their jobs in the merger and the entire sales and management team will grow to about 60, Mr. Moortgat said, adding that brand representatives might change roles in some markets.
"I am going to be a part of a new Boulevard Brewing Company that is partnered up with one of the greatest, most iconic breweries in the world, and that is not a bad thing," McDonald said. "I think one of the greatest synergies we have with their company is the idea of new markets. They look at the world globally, but in a local way."
Rumors Turn to Reality
While the pace of investment in craft breweries has been slower than expected for such a fast-growing consumer product category, deals involving Ommegang and Boulevard, the individual brands at the center of the investment, have been expected for some time.
Whispers about a Boulevard buyout began to circulate last October when Boulevard founder John McDonald told Brewbound that he had engaged in investment discussion with the MillerCoors-owned craft and import division, Tenth and Blake.
At the time, McDonald stressed that he wasn't interested in selling his brewery. But over the course of the last year, McDonald, who is 60, took a second look at his succession planning options.
Meanwhile, in August, Duvel U.S.A. CEO Simon Thorpe told Brewbound that he was planning a shopping spree of two or three U.S. craft breweries over the next five years. McDonald had also been impressed by a presentation he had seen Thorpe give in May on the company's overall luxury branding strategy, setting the table for an approach.
"I really wanted to find a partner that could take us in the right direction going forward," McDonald said. "They are owners and brewers. With an investor, you get their money and oversight but at the end of the day you end up explaining a lot about brewing. They [Duvel Moortgat] bring a great synergy."
Mr. Moortgat sees it the same way and said he's most excited about continuing to build the Boulevard legacy.
"We realized that we are both family businesses and share the same values," he said. "We believe that people and quality of beers are important. We could see that in John and he saw that in us. He was looking for a long-term partner and we are going to continue investing in the business."
That initial, early investment could be in the form of a distribution expansion. Duvel Moortgat is already eyeing New York and Florida as potential new markets for the Boulevard brand in 2014. Much of that growth will be focused on building the domestic holdings in the portfolio rather than the company's own Duvel brand.
"The future for us in the U.S. will be more with the Boulevard and Ommegang brands rather than Duvel and imports," Moortgat said. "Although we still believe it is a high-quality and iconic brand, it has its own role to play and that is different."
Boulevard brings to the table a distribution footprint that is strong in its home midwest region and has expanded into Massachusetts and California in recent years. It also has a brewery that can already churn out 240,000 barrels annually and is capable of being scaled to 600,000 barrels with additional investment in infrastructure and fermentation tanks.
At first, it will be business as usual, but future plans could include the brewing and packaging of specialty Boulevard Smokestack selections at Brewery Ommegang's facility in Cooperstown, N.Y. where the company said it is better designed to handle more difficult-to-make beers.
"In the beginning, nothing will change at Boulevard," Mr. Moortgat said. "They are doing a great job and you never change a winning team. We will learn why and how they do things and how we can implement some of their learnings into the Ommegang brewery and the other way around."
Nonetheless, there are underlying integration challenges, specifically with regards to distributor alignment. Boulevard, which is currently distributed in 25 states and Washington D.C., has just seven of Duvel Moortgat's wholesalers in common: Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Oregon, Virginia and Washington D.C. But in remaining overlapping markets like Texas, Colorado, Illinois, California and Massachusetts, among others, the two have different distributors.
While Mr. Moortgat said that Duvel Moortgat is not immediately interested in consolidating the distribution footprints, he's not ruling it out, either.
"We are happy if we have highly motivated wholesalers even if they are different," he said. "If we find that one of the two would insist on consolidation, we are willing to talk about it. It is not something that we are going to do from day one and it will be discussed situation by situation with specific wholesalers to see what is best in the interest of all the parties."
However, if Duvel Moortgat's recent history with wholesalers provides any indication, consolidation could be on the way. In the last 24 months, the company has been involved in 28 transactions where distribution rights were sold to a competing wholesaler. Among others, in Pennsylvania, Origlio Beverage sold Duvel Moortgat distribution rights to Muller, Inc.; in Florida, Brown Distributing Co. purchased the rights from Micro Man Distributors.
In each case, Duvel Moortgat claimed that the outgoing distributor failed to demonstrate a high level of motivation to effectively sell the portfolio to retailers.
Duvel's History of Acquisitions
The purchase of Boulevard is just the second U.S. acquisition for Duvel Moortgat since the company took complete control of the Brewery Ommegang in January of 2003. But the strategy of purchasing U.S. craft brands follows Duvel Moortgat's pattern of growth through acquisition. In the last 10 years, in addition to Ommegang, the company has acquired three Belgian breweries Brasserie d'Achouffe, Brouwerij Liefmans and Brouwerij De Koninck.
"We have always looked to countries where people tend to drink less, but better," Mr. Moortgat said. "One of the evolutions in the U.S. is the focus on quality and that, in addition its size, is very strongly present. That is why the U.S. market has always been an interesting one for us."
To help explain the motivation for growing in this way, Mr. Moortgat points to the 2006 acquisition of Brasserie d'Achouffe. Since the purchase, Duvel Moortgat has invested behind a growing salesforce, added production capacity and a new bottling line. In the last 7 years, sales have grown from roughly 20,000 hL to an anticipated 125,000 in 2013.
"It proves that you can do things well, keep the specificity and knowledge and strengthen it with your own talent," he said.
In other words, he said, Duvel Moortgat isn't simply looking to buy craft companies, strip them down and consolidate. They're looking for top line growth potential. But the company's penetration in the U.S. has lagged behind its international presence. Mr. Moortgat said the company will sell roughly 900,000 hectoliters (766,951 barrels) of beer, worldwide, in 2013; only 90,000 hL (about 76,700 barrels) will be sold in the U.S.
That's why the company has made the U.S. craft market a priority — and targeted a well-established American craft brewer, one that has a strong base in the Midwest, a region that has not been as strong for Ommegang.
"John [McDonald] is a monument in the craft beer industry," Mr. Moortgat said. "We have been in the U.S. for many years but they know the market very well also. We want to learn from them."

View ACF COVID-19 Responses and Resources
Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Corrales, New Mexico, Native Prevention, Research, Intervention, Development, and Education (PRIDE) works throughout the United States "to develop and implement culture, strengths and spiritual based programs for Native people that inspire leadership, healing and wellness from colonization and multigenerational trauma."
Young Native men have some of the highest risk factors in the country for substance abuse, violence, depression and suicide. Native PRIDE believes these issues stem from Native men having "lost the sacred connection to their cultural identity and roles." The breakdown of a positive male presence threatens the well-being of Native children, and at worst, tears families apart.
To address this, Native PRIDE developed a unique culturally-based fatherhood curriculum and project titled "The Good Road of Life: Responsible Fatherhood," which it delivered across the country through an Administration for Native Americans Strengthening Families grant.
The project staff delivered 10 "The Good Road of Life" seminars in five tribal communities, reaching 895 people, including men and their families. Pre- and post-evaluations of participants indicate that men who completed the program developed enlightened self-awareness of their relationships with their own fathers and families and learned about "letting go," communication skills and forgiveness. Men with substance abuse or domestic violence issues received education and counseling to start addressing these issues.
In addition to the seminars, Native PRIDE also hosted four national Training of Trainers (TOT) workshops in "The Good Road of Life," certifying 242 people to spread the curriculum in their communities. Many of the Native communities hosting the TOT sessions integrated the curriculum into their social programs and will now be hosting annual fatherhood events. Several tribal colleges, New Mexico State University, the Indian Boys and Girls Clubs of America, along with several mental health programs, have also integrated the curriculum into their work.
Native PRIDE also conducted a comprehensive public advertising campaign on strengthening families and responsible fatherhood, which included presentations at the National Indian Education Association Conference in Albuquerque, the National Congress of American Indians Conference in Portland, the Lakota Nation Invitational in Rapid City, and the New Mexico Counselors Association in Albuquerque. Native PRIDE also assisted in replicating "Fatherhood is Sacred Day" activities at eight trainings in six states.
Over time, Native communities implementing the curriculum should see a reduction of referrals to social services, counseling services, substance abuse programs, and incarceration due to domestic violence. As a result of the project, Native families have more involved spouses, fathers, sons, and brothers, who can draw on sources of cultural strength to be positive male role models in their communities.

MONTGOMERY, Pa. — Gov. Tom Corbett unveiled a resources guidebook Tuesday that markets Pennsylvania's business and energy sectors and its government programs, and billed it as a way to lure business people and investors to the state.
Flanked by two-year students studying diesel engine technology, Corbett released the guidebook at a news conference at Pennsylvania College of Technology's Earth Science Center near Williamsport, in the heart of north-central Pennsylvania's booming natural gas industry.
Corbett said the 73-page guide will provide business people and local government officials with information about the state's resources and programs. It is billed as being full of information that demonstrates that Pennsylvania is a good place to do business, with attributes such as diverse energy sources, a skilled workforce and a competitive business environment.
"Whether from the well pad to the corner grocery store, the expansion of our energy sector has made Pennsylvanians better off and made our commonwealth really the vanguard of American energy independence," Corbett told a small audience of students and college and local officials surrounded by pieces of heavy machinery and diesel-powered trucks.
Corbett, a Republican, is running for a second four-year term in the Nov. 4 election, and a key theme of his campaign will be his efforts to improve the economy.
Some of the aspects the guide stresses are Pennsylvania's competitive retail energy markets that help lower electricity prices. It mentions that Pennsylvania's ports have the potential to export liquefied natural gas, it has helped energy projects spring up on old, unused former industrial sites and companies are planning nine natural-gas fired power plants in Pennsylvania.
It says that developing the guidebook has helped identify opportunities to capitalize on the state's energy sources. Those include supporting advancements in coal pollution-reduction technology, helping Pennsylvania become the first state in the nation to make natural gas vehicles commonplace and supporting efforts to provide natural gas to businesses and homes.
"We'll be able to give it to the various investment organizations and the community economic development organizations across the state in Pennsylvania (and say), 'Here's what you have to keep your people here or to encourage new people to grow,'" Corbett told reporters after the news conference. "Because after the cost of employees, usually what's the second-most expensive part of any business budget is energy, so we'll be able to sell that."
As an example, Corbett brought up Sanofi, the French drug maker, which has a campus in northeastern Pennsylvania. Corbett's administration has awarded millions of dollars in grants to help build a natural gas pipeline to the Sanofi campus.
The company did not have access to natural gas at its Monroe County campus and was looking leave Pennsylvania, Corbett said.
"They were actually looking to leave to lower their costs," Corbett said. "That (pipeline) is already stimulating (the) interest of other businesses now."

At tado° we believe in the possibility of combining convenience and sustainability. Therefore, we are committed to creating cutting edge technology designed to add intelligence to the non-smart devices we use every day.
The past two years have been a great success for the Heating App in Europe. Now we want to bring it a step further and help people in warmer countries make their ACs a whole lot smarter. So for the last several months we've been dedicating our lives to the beautiful and amazingly intelligent tado° Smart AC Control.
What's so cool?
Just like The Heating App, tado° Smart AC Control acts as a digital assistant, achieving perfect climate control while ensuring that no energy is wasted by running an AC when nobody is home. With its intelligent smartphone app, tado° detects when the last person has left the house, and automatically turns off the air conditioning. Additionally, when someone is on their way home, tado° begins to pre-cool the house.
Even inside the house, tado's indoor positioning system based on Bluetooth Low Energy/iBeacon® technology, allows one to move without turning on and off the ACs, instead relying on tado's room-to-room feature to know what room to cool and when.
The set-up is plug & play and the device even has an LED matrix display. Built-in capacitive touch functionality allows you to control basic settings instantaneously. With just a swipe of the finger you can increase or lower the temperature. To turn the AC off just touch the device twice. Tap it once to switch it on again.
Exclusive launch on Kickstarter
This is where you come in: As of today we are accepting pre-orders on Kickstarter, an international crowdfunding platform. We will only start production if we reach our goal of $150,000 in 30 days.
Here's what you can do:
- Click here or on the Play-Button above
- Share the project on Facebook and Twitter (use buttons below video on Kickstarter)
- Pre-order: Pledge an amount and select your reward
- Tell your friends all about it
Even if you don't own an AC unit it would be fantastic if you could take a minute to share the project or even pledge with a small amount. This gadget also works really well as a present for friends with vacation homes :).
Thanks for bringing us closer to our goal!
Your tado° Team

Aspirin only for acute symptoms, Dissolving plaque on the artery walls, Embolisms in the blood, Heart attack survival, Instantly available aspirin, Plaque in the arteries
[UPDATE 3013-07-30 Research of revival hours after heart stoppage from embolism death. Der Speigel]
Predicting some heart attacks is now possible in a research setting where the circulating endothelial cells (CECs) are tracked. This finding was reported in Science Translational Medicine. The technique requires specialized lab equipment but if the results are validated it is technologically possible to make these tests continuously with an implant. The finding was that irregular endothelial cells were circulating in the blood before heart attacks occurred. These cells break off from the arterial walls and expose plaque before the plaque itself breaks off and flows downstream to some point where it blocks blood flow. Typically this is into a heart vessel and that causes what is called a heart attack, but if the clot clogs somewhere else it will have a different name, but the cause is the same – a blood clot. The surprising finding is that these CECs can be identified perhaps a week before a large quantity of plaque breaks off and causes the serious problem.
It was also reported that people sometimes felt strange feelings and went to emergency rooms. There they were given current tests but those didn't show the markers of a heart attack so they were sent home. Unfortunately, in those cases where they were experiencing the CECs it was a precursor of plaque about to break free. There is now the possibility that new tests will become available which will identify those CEC precursor indicators. I have written many times about how to survive embolism clots for example:
Probaway – Clot – (The originally published in 1994 article)
Sleep with your heart attack aspirin handy
Two aspirin in your wallet can save your life
You can survive a heart attack with two aspirin taken instantly.
Surviving heart attacks with aspirin taken immediately.
How to survive frostbite to the fingers and toes
Keep your friends close and your aspirin closer.
The new CECs information implies that some people sense the materials in their blood as a pressure in the chest. This chest pressure is a clear indicator to take aspirin immediately. If the platelets are exposed on the artery walls they may be susceptible to the well known clot busting qualities of aspirin. It appears that a person at risk may not have to wait for the for large pieces of plaque to break free and clog an artery before they can take meaningful action. I repeat what I published in Probaway 1995 about aspirin:
"When you have a chest pain or a sudden weakness or other sudden inexplicable bodily malfunctions take aspirin immediately, chew them up and get your body to the emergency clinic." Also, do CPR chest compression and if person is unconscious cool their head and body.
[Update: Always have aspirin instantly available, in your wallet, and beside your bed at night. The 5 second aspirin rule – be able to show your aspirin in 5 seconds.]

Report card: Nebraska vs. Washington
SAN DIEGO - Nebraska finished the 2010 season by losing three of their last four ball games, as the Huskers fell to Washington 19-7 in the Holiday Bowl.
Here is the complete report card grade out from Saturday's loss to the Huskies in San Diego. NU finishes the year with a 10-4 record for the second season in a row.
Quarterback: F
Going into this game I expected to see a much more relaxed Taylor Martinez at quarterback, instead we once again saw a shaky performance from the redshirt freshman. The bottom line is Martinez struggles with managing a football game. Martinez took costly sacks and made decisions in game management that you can't make. It was a disappointing finish to a season that at one time had so much promise. What does the future hold for Martinez and this offense? Is he the guy going forward? You can tell the plan on Thursday was to run the football straight at Washington, and once that didn't work Shawn Watson sure didn't have a very good plan B.
Running back: D
The running backs had absolutely no holes to work with tonight, so it's hard to point the finger completely at them for their lack of production, but nobody on this offense deserves anything higher than a D for their play tonight. I thought the play where Rex Burkhead fumbled the ball in the wildcat completely turned this game around. If Burkhead gets that throw off, NU probably jumps up 7-0. Instead, that play started what ultimately became a terrible night for the offense.
Wide receiver/tight end: D
Martinez did not do a very good job of getting the ball to the receivers in this game. The times he did, a few guys made plays. Kyler Reed made a great play on his touchdown reception.
Offensive line: F
The offensive line was just physically manhandled by Washington's aggressive front seven on Thursday. Washington brought the heat on nearly every play and NU's line could not answer. I know Martinez took some bad sacks in this game, but some of that falls on the line in protection, as they were completely missing assignments when the Huskies overloaded sides with their blitz calls.
Defensive line: F
Just like the offensive line, the defensive line got demoralized by the Huskies in this game. Washington ran the ball 52 times for 268 yards and their longest run was just 25 yards. They consistently got after NU's front four and Jake Locker kept them off-balanced all night. NU did not sack Locker once in this game.
Linebacker: C
Linebacker Lavonte David became Nebraska's all-time regular season tackler on Thursday night after recording 7 stops. David finished the 2010 season with 152 tackles.
Secondary: B-
Washington knew they couldn't let Nebraska's secondary take this game over like they did in September. The Huskies kept NU's secondary in check, despite the fact Locker completed just 5-of-16 passes. The biggest thing though is Locker didn't throw a single interception. NU needed their secondary to come up with a play, but Steve Sarkisian did his best to make sure they didn't get a chance to tonight. I thought Alfonzo Dennard played a very good game on Thursday. The biggest problem the secondary had was coming up and playing the run. They could not effectively tackle Chris Polk. He was too physical for them.
Special teams: F
This was maybe the worst special teams game we've seen out of Nebraska this season. They got virtually nothing out of their return game, Alex Henery struggled with his punting, Adi Kunalic didn't put any of his kicks through the end zone and the coverage teams were charged with two facemask penalties. Across the board it was a very poor performance out of the special teams.

Racine police squad car hit during chase
Driver hospitalized after hitting 2 vehicles
A man is in the hospital after slamming into a Racine police car and another vehicle during a chase early Saturday morning.
Police said a witness reported seeing a woman being assaulted just before 7 a.m. in the 1100 block of Washington Avenue. The witness told police a man chased a woman with blood on her from an apartment building.
Investigators said the man got into a vehicle and drove away, and the witness followed the man until officers caught up with the suspect on Christopher Columbus Causeway. Officers said the man refused to pull over and hit a squad car at 17th Street and Morton Avenue.
He came to a stop after hitting a second vehicle at 14th and Racine streets.
Investigators told 12 News the officer in the squad car was not hurt. The driver of the second vehicle refused treatment.
The suspect was taken to the hospital for treatment. The woman involved in the assault suffered minor injuries, police said.

Carl Icahn Has Raised $5.3 Billion to Finance His Plan to Recapitalize Dell
Activist investor Carl Icahn has apparently raised more than the $5 billion he needs to finance his plan to carry out a recapitalization of the computer maker Dell, a plan he argues will be worth more to the company's shareholders than the $24.4 billion leveraged buyout proposed by CEO Michael Dell and the private equity firm Silver Lake Partners.
With the July 18 proxy vote looming, Icahn, who last month became Dell's second largest shareholder after Michael Dell, has proposed a few different variations of a plan that would use Dell's existing pile of cash to pay out a special dividend to shareholders, lever the company up with new debt and leave a portion of it publicly traded. Icahn's argument has been that current shareholders — not just Michael Dell and Silver Lake — should get a chance to profit on an eventual turnaround in the company's fortunes.
The problem — at least until now — is that the special committee of Dell's board overseeing its go-private process has criticized the Icahn proposal, saying it suffered from a "liquidity gap" of about $4 billion. With about $5.3 billion in financing arranged by investment bank Jeffries, that problem appears to be solved. The financing was reported by CNBC's David Faber, just a little while ago. (See the video of Faber's report below.)
Don't expect much support from Dell's board, which has repeatedly thrown its weight behind the Michael Dell-Silver Lake plan, and has criticized the various iterations of the Icahn plan as "inconsistent."
The next big step in the process will come when the proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services issues its recommendations on which deal — if any — it thinks shareholders should support. The meetings with ISS and Glass Lewis, another proxy advisory firm, took place last week. According to people close to the deal process, ISS isn't expected to publish its opinion until after the July 4 holiday weekend. As I argued last month, the recommendation will carry a lot of weight with certain shareholders. Since Michael Dell can't vote, that means about 42 percent of shareholders will have to vote affirmatively in favor of one plan or the other.
Shareholders representing about 18 percent of the proxy, including Icahn, Southeastern Asset Management and mutual fund firm T. Rowe Price, are already on record as opposing the Dell-Silver Lake bid, which values the company at $13.65 a share. It may be close.

Oopsy Daisy Baby was one of the hottest ticket items during the Nie Nie auctions this summer, and why wouldn't they be? They make the most darling photographs you can imagine, and what little girl wouldn't love to have a pettiskirt and top added to her wardrobe? I know of two little girls (mine) who I have to PEEL them off of. They spend hours twirling and spinning and oh so pleased with themselves.
This holiday season I fell in love with the new line that was introduced. The Ivory lace petti, the black sleeveless dress...they really are almost any girls dream.
Oopsy Daisy baby began six years ago when Daphne Henderson set out to create unique, timeless, heirloom-quality clothing for children, and I won't be the first to tell you all pettiskirts are not created equally. These feature the finest details including handmade embellishments and custom ribbons, you won't find a better one out there.
The petti's come in a wide variety of colors, my favorites are the aqua, raspberry and of course the red. On my list of things to do this year... recreate the photo below with Stella. I can hardly wait for the weather to turn a little warmer.
Today one reader will walk away with a petti and tank of their choosing, which color is at the top of your list?

why i should be a staff member for your site
Hi how are you. My name is chris burnham and i hace been a big fan of pokemon ever since it came out. You see im asking if you would be accept me and put me as a staff member i know im new to your site but i have studied alot of the mysteries and strange things that will appers in alot of the older of the games.
For example the lavander town mystery of pokemon red, blue, yellow, and green compared to the second gen silver, gold, and chrystal
their is a lot of different beliefes to the lavander town syndrome and i believe the inventors of the first generation made a mistake with the strange music and they couldent really fear it considering their age and how their hearing was. well i believe in the first it was like a programming mistake that made it louder leading to the sucides and crazy nightmares people got from them. You see i believe the whole headahce and nightmare stuff since i played and the game screw me over abit but i loved the game so i kept playing and was sure it would change.
knopw for the second generation they fixes it because the creators realized their mistake and knew what did so they changed so the gaming franchise wouldent go down under.
I have more stuff to discuss but this is an example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PokeDude101 (talk • contribs)

Some things
When you were given your administrative rights, it was expected that you follow the policies that were put in place for things such as administration promotion and demotions. Although you have bureaucrat rights and are the "main" administrator here, you still have to follow the policies. That means, Rainbow Shifter and/or you has to put through an RfA and the community has to decide it. You can't forget that wikis are based around community decisions and the like. And while you're the "main" administrator, there are still users with their administrative rights, who will keep their administrative rights, who should be consulted when decisions like this occur. I do not expect you to remove her administrative rights, but I expect you to either nominate a user you'd find appropriate for administrative rights, or recommend they send through an RfA. Because, while I may be at Curse, I do still watch this wiki, and I will make sure that things run in a community-based way. Try not to do it again. – Jazzi (talk) 18:49, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

TCG Cards
Should we be having the Pokémon TCG Cards on here? I haven't found any before but I've stumbled on this: Department Store Girl (Arceus 85) and I wondered if we had a TCG Project or if we should make one. Rainbow Shifter (Write to me) 11:17, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
Well I thought we could do the naming like "Name of card (Expansion it is from and card number)". And maybe we could just start with one expansion and then build it from there and perhaps let people know via the News Feed? Rainbow Shifter (Write to me) 17:54, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
I personally would like to help you guys with the TCG Project :). Here, I already made a template for the TCG Support Cards. http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Department_Store_Girl_(Arceus_85).

Main page layout fix
Hi Slaying. I'm Joe from Wikia. The recent change to the Wikia skin slightly changed the width of the columns of the page. As a result, the content of the right column of the main page is currently appearing at the bottom of the page, below the left column's content. All that needs to be done to fix this is to add this small bit of code to MediaWiki:Wikia.css:
.WikiaArticle .main-page-tag-lcs { width: 660px; }
If you would prefer that I make the edit, let me know, and I will. JoePlay (talk) 20:18, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
- Just wanted to let you know that I made the edit to MediaWiki:Wikia.css, and the main page columns are now displaying correctly. Keep up the great work! JoePlay (talk) 18:10, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
Could you please do something about the page Camo?
Venom187 (talk) 21:48, October 20, 2012 (UTC)
I deleted it. Rainbow Shifter (Write to me) 23:38, October 20, 2012 (UTC)
Hey, if you could please delete Soran and Rīku, that would be great. It's been plagiarized from the new wiki. Thanks chaosvoid 00:30, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix stopped by "The Tonight Show" Friday night to speak with Jay Leno about her performance at the London Games, her future as a competitor and a childhood nickname she can't seem to escape.
Wearing a long-sleeve red dress, the track and field star discussed her three gold medal victories in the 200-meter, 4x400-meter relay and 4x100-meter relay in London.
She said one of her proudest moments was seeing her parents after her races. In fact, she keeps her gold medals at her parents' house.
U.S. & World
"They like to do a bit of bragging when people come over," she said.
And they have a lot to brag about. In London, Felix, 26, became the first U.S. woman to win three golds in Olympic track and field since 1988. She also became the second to win Olympic gold at the 4x100 and 4x400 either at one Games or all-time.
When asked what she did after her victories, Felix said she indulged by asking her brother to buy her Ben and Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk ice cream.
"I sat on my bed all alone and just pigged out," she said.
Finally, Felix discussed her plans for the future and a childhood nickname that followed her to London. During one of her races, an announcer said classmates used to call her "chicken legs," a name she hated but now embraces. She also said she plans to compete in the 2016 Games in Rio De Janeiro.
"I'm going to shoot for it," she said. "I feel like everything's finally coming together. I've got to keep it going."

Three American hikers who were arrested for illegally entering Iran two months ago will be allowed to visit with officials from the Swiss government. This will be the first time western officials meet with the hikers since their arrest, and it provides a ray of hope to their families, who have urged their release.
The Swiss government represents U.S. interests in Tehran, since the United States has no formal diplomatic relations with the Islamic republic. Two U.S. officials said Iran had notified the Swiss that their consular services are required, meaning they can meet with the Americans, all graduates of U.C. Berkeley, to verify their conditions. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the diplomatic sensitivity of the matter.
The move is being seen as a conciliatory gesture by Iran.
U.S. & World
It comes less than a week after Irainian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in an interview with the Associated Press that he would ask the country's judiciary to "look at the case with maximum leniency."
It also comes two days before a high-profile meeting between Iran and five world powers seeking to persuade Iran to abandon any effort to build nuclear weapons.
The three Americans, Joshua Fattal, Shane Bauer, and Sarah Shourd, have not had contact with their families since their arrest.
Shourd's mother, Nora, lives in Oakland. She and the other parents recently wrote a letter to the Iranian president, appealing to his sensitive side.
"We're calling on him as a father, a parent. He certainly must know how we feel," Nora Shourd said, wearing a T-shirt stamped with "Free the Hikers." "We're saying 'be compassionate towards our children, be considerate.'"
More than a dozen candelight vigils are planned for tomorrow night across the country-- two months since the trio was taken into custody.
Two vigils are planned in Berkeley, according to Jennifer Miller, a friend of both Shourd and Bauer. The first will take place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Upper Sproul Plaza on the UC Berkeley campus, near Bancroft Way at Telegraph Avenue. The second is scheduled from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in downtown Berkeley, at the plaza by the BART station at 2160 Shattuck Ave.
Organizers have also planned vigils in Philadelphia, Boston, Minneapolis, Southern California and other locations. A full list is available at www.freethehikers.org.

Community Justice
Shoehorned into a 12-acre site amid the meandering banks of the Rock River, Winnebago County's new four-story justice center brings almost 600,000 square feet of multifunctional space to the quintessentially American-heartland townscape of downtown Rockford, Ill.
Designed by Wisconsin-based architectural firm Durrant, the layered, multidimensional envelope draws a bold 21st century footprint in its balance of function and form, aesthetics and pragmatics, and design and technology.
Accessible, transparent, safe and secure, justice has found herself a new home in the bosom of community.
As a public space, the structure is designed to blend with surrounding architecture even as it moves forth the town burghers' vision for urban renewal. As a detention center and courthouse, the complex that opened in July is intended to create an environment that encourages good behavior among inmates just as it delivers a centralized regional justice hub for the community.
"You wouldn't know it's a jail, it's one of the more beautiful buildings in the downtown area," says Dina Getty, director of corrections for Winnebago County Sheriff's Department.
Pragmatic Aestheticism
County officials and project principals held extensive consultations with community stakeholders during the planning and design phase of the project. A consensus emerged around a common theme of creating a structure that looked more like an inviting, modern office building than the jarring slit-windowed, barb-wired bleakness of a traditional jail.
"What it looked like on the inside was up to the sheriff, but the outside had to look nice as far as the community was concerned," Getty says.
The $142 million justice center features four courtrooms, a 1,212-bed jail, a medical clinic, sheriff's department office space, and satellite offices for the state's attorney, the public defender's office and pre-trial services.
The complex sits next to several low- and mid-rise buildings and abuts a transitional residential development at the edge of downtown Rockford . The design team recessed the justice center away from the street to ease the visual and psychological transition from urban environment to residential neighborhood.
Anchored by a park-like plaza at one corner of the site, landscaping around the recessed complex, together with multidimensional component buildings and variable layers, lines, colors and textures, aid the complex's assimilation into the surrounding environment.
"The justice center blends well with the surrounding architecture and represents a really good reuse of a downtown quarter that was in terrible decay," says David A. Way, PE , project manager for Durrant.
Founded in 1933, the company has offices throughout the United States and has experience developing downtown detention and courthouse projects, such as Winnebago.
"The most important aspect is figuring out how to integrate the facility with the urban environment and what works in terms of both architectural form and safety and security functionality," Way says.
Reality of Perception
The greatest challenge with this project emerged with the realization that it was in essence two different projects combined — a public courthouse and a secure detention facility — that involve different time cycles, requirements, imperatives and objectives, Way says.
County officials and the design team felt traditional security measures, such as perimeter fencing, would undermine the architectural flow of the design and prevent the structure from blending with the surrounding downtown cityscape.
"They needed a facility that was secure, but they didn't want it to look like a prison," Way says. "The question became, 'How do we create an open public area on one side and a completely secure area on the other?'"
With the an evolving conceptual plan for the project, it took time for the final design to solidify in a form that would meet the various objectives and imperatives put forth by the community and county government.
"It became clear that it was really a public building with a detention facility inside it," says Rich Cotton, PE, Durrant's director of information systems. "Basically, we had a building inside a building and that really changed the security and design strategy."
Enter the Pod
The jail features a multipodular direct-supervision design model intended to enhance operational management, safety and security.
Each podular housing unit is designed to function as a self-contained unit, accommodating up to 64 inmates with communal dayroom space, recreational/exercise space, kitchen and laundry facilities, medical examination rooms and video visitation access points.
Housing units incorporate a medical examination room where visiting medical staff can perform the majority of healthcare services and procedures for the inmate population. More complex procedures and long-term treatment is provided in the jail's central medical clinic.
The jail is equipped with a central segregation unit designed to house troublesome or special-category inmates. However, county officials hope that dedicated classroom space for rehabilitation, education and counseling programs will encourage inmates to develop positive, productive social behaviors, which will help turn their lives around when they return to the community.
In conjunction with a comprehensive technology infrastructure, the direct-supervision model enhances the ability to manage each housing unit by improving supervision and control capabilities. The new model required some adjustment for officers who were used to the linear layout of the previous facility.
"Officers had a lot of settling in to do, getting comfortable with inmate contact and taking control of the jail environment," Getty says. "In the linear jails of the old days, when that door slammed shut behind you, the strongest inmate was in control."
Built more than 30 years ago to house a maximum of 172 inmates, the county's previous detention facility was holding upwards of 700 inmates.
"The old jail was dark, dangerous and inhumane, " Getty says.
Wracked with tension, fear, anger and violence, the facility saw an average of up to five inmate-on-inmate fights per day. The new facility was in operation for more than six weeks before an incident occurred.
"We've seen positive results from day one, with a marked difference in inmate behavior," Getty says. "The jail is a much safer and healthier place as a result of implementing direct supervision."
A class action lawsuit filed in 2000 and a resulting federal court order forced the county to address the overcrowding issue, ultimately leading to the construction of the new justice center.
The move to the new facility did not merely involve a change in physical environments and conditions for officers and inmates. The county didn't want to do things the way they had been done in the past, so nothing from the old jail, whether tangible or intangible, was brought to the new facility.
"We changed our entire operational philosophy, from meal service to booking; nothing was the same," Getty says. "In a way, the lawsuit was the best thing that could have happened for everyone involved."
Smaller Stick, Bigger Carrot
A 1-cent sales tax proposal was put to voters in order to generate funding for the justice center project, but before it was passed, the community specified that the measure allocate significant funding toward rehabilitation programs and alternatives to incarceration.
"The community realized that the majority of these inmates aren't going off to prison somewhere for 15 or 20 years, but are coming straight back into this community," Getty says.
During planning discussions county officials emphasized rehabilitation and their interest in promoting good behavior and helping inmates realize that their goal should be to get out of the system.
The old jail's single classroom could accommodate only 12 inmates at a time for rehabilitation programs. Justice officials have expanded dedicated program space in the new jail through an additional seven classrooms, which can accommodate more than 100 inmates for educational and counseling rehabilitation program services.
"Our sheriff firmly believes in trying to return inmates to the community in better shape than when they left," Getty says. "Rehabilitation programs inside the jail are as important as the bricks and mortar."
Tale of Technology
Although the design team incorporated a comprehensive infrastructure of nontraditional security technologies and systems to achieve the multilayered security necessary for the facility's downtown location, the use of technology in pursuit of those imperatives proved to be one of the defining aspects of the Winnebago project.
With more than 1,600 access points within the justice center, the facility features an access system that uses biometric identification and 38 strategically located graphic user interface units, which serve the jail's housing units, various central spaces and internal circulation pathways. More traditional technologies and systems, including metal and x-ray scanning units, are employed at the perimeter of the justice facility.
A video surveillance system with more than 250 cameras monitors interiors as well as facility perimeters, public spaces and parking lots to enhance safety and security. The exterior placements also allow law enforcement to screen the license plate numbers of visitors to potentially identify individuals with outstanding warrants.
Face recognition technology at public access points was discussed but officials believed community or public reservations would prove an insurmountable obstacle to system deployment and implementation was shelved.
Perhaps the biggest change for the inmates and their families came with the incorporation of a video visitation system. A system configuration of 75 video visitation units on the public side and a bank of video units situated within each pod for the prisoners means there is no need to move inmates or staff. The video visitation system also acts as an extra layer of security, limiting individuals' contact and the passage of contraband.
The incorporation of the video visitation system means inmates and visitors are no longer able to physically see one another and engage in actual face-to-face contact. Getty points out, however, that in the old jail, which had limited visiting space, prisoners often missed visits because visiting hours would end before their turn.
"Now inmates can be sure they will get their visit and with the video visitation system, visitors can schedule the visit," Getty says.
In incorporating technology, the design team focused on ensuring that the facility design could meet the county's objectives as it moves forward into the 21st century.
"The integration of technology to enhance operational functionality and coordination is the real highlight of this project," Cotton says. "It portends a growing trend toward the use of technology, in general, and the integration of geo-management systems, in particular, at every level."
Durrant designed the facility around a 2,000-square-foot data center with multiple data rooms and an information technology infrastructure that would yield flexibility in managing operations and expandability to meet future needs. In addition to the video visitation system, ancillary information technology components, include a video arraignment system and other audio-visual courtroom technology.
"This is one of the most technologically outstanding facilities with a highly flexible platform — in terms of infrastructure space, cooling, power, etcetera — that will allow for easy expansion," Cotton says.
Bugs in the System
With a jail management system at the old facility that was antiquated and inefficient, making it difficult to access and retrieve information, officials chose to install the entirely new Offender Trak jail management system by Motorola. Adopting the new system has allowed officials to integrate records and jail management systems to enhance operational efficiency and functionality.
It allows arresting officers to complete much of the requisite intake documentation from their vehicles, reducing the time spent in the jail booking area. However, implementing a jail management system of this size and complexity proved a significant undertaking and officials readily admit there have been some problems — some of which remain to be worked out — since the facility opened.
"Anytime you get into large applications, there's always the possibility for integration difficulties, but Motorola has been a great partner on this project," Cotton says.
The local press reported significant delays in the booking and bonding processes at the facility, which left some people unnecessarily cooling their heels for hours.
County officials blame unavoidable, but readily resolvable, minor glitches with uploading and transferring records and reports, and accessing some training issues rather than any underlying deficiencies with the technology.
Invariably, you'll hit bumps along the road when you go live with a system like this, Getty says.
"We've revamped our entire work-flow process and although we still have some system problems, the bugs are being worked out," he says.
Shades of Green
Although environmental sustainability was not a primary objective or concern of county officials, many green design and construction elements were incorporated into the project.
The first nod to sustainability came with the location of the new center, which involved the brown field redevelopment of a downtown lot long blighted by neglect and urban decay. Many of the construction materials for the project were also locally sourced.
The design team incorporated a comprehensive storm water management system, while an energy-efficient power plant was designed specifically for the facility. Energy-efficient equipment and appliances were utilized where practicable.
The facility also makes extensive use of daylighting throughout public and courthouse spaces. Constrained by the safety and security parameters of the facility's detention component, the design team opted to use opaque glass in the jail space, which allows for daylighting but prevents inmates from looking out.
"Initially, there was a discussion of LEED, but going after certification was ruled out fairly early on," Cotton says.
