Red Sox rally to win nightcap; salvage split with Yankees
BOSTON — Pedro Ciriaco had four hits and four RBIs, fellow newcomer Mauro Gomez added three hits and the Boston Red Sox gained a split of their day-night doubleheader with a 9-5 win over the New York Yankees on Saturday.
Ciriaco drove in the runs with a pair of doubles one day after being called up from Pawtucket. Gomez is 8 for 17 in five games since being promoted from the Triple-A team Tuesday night.
Andruw Jones hit three homers in the doubleheader, including two of the Yankees' four in their 6-1 win in the opener in which Freddy Garcia pitched 6 2-3 solid innings in muggy conditions. They added three homers in the nightcap, running their baseball-high total to 133. They're on a pace for a club-record 255. The 1997 Seattle Mariners hold the major league record with 264.
Injuries to second baseman Dustin Pedroia and third baseman Will Middlebrooks led the Red Sox to call up Gomez to fill in at third and Ciriaco to play second and shortstop. The rookies played key roles in the sixth inning, when the Red Sox scored three runs, and in the seventh, when they added four to build their 9-4 lead.
Ciriaco hit a three-run double in the sixth, then reached on a hard shot past third that was ruled a two-base error before being changed to a double. He stole third and continued home on a wild throw by catcher Russell Martin in the seventh. Gomez singled in the sixth, doubled in a run in the seventh and scored both times.
The Red Sox broke a five-game losing streak with their first win in five games against the Yankees. New York is a major league-best 51-33 after its three-game winning streak ended.
For the third straight game, the Yankees had a big first inning, scoring three runs in the nightcap. They had five in that inning in Friday night's 10-8 win and four in Saturday's opener.
The three runs came with no outs on Mark Teixeira's 15th homer after Derek Jeter reached on an error by Gomez and Curtis Granderson singled. But Felix Doubront (9-4) allowed just one more hit before Jones led off the seventh with a solo homer, his 10th, cutting the lead to 5-4.
The Red Sox had made it 3-1 in the third when Gomez doubled, took third on Ciriaco's single and scored on Daniel Nava's double-play grounder. Nick Punto's sacrifice fly made it 3-2 in the fifth.
Boston knocked Phil Hughes (9-7) out of the game with three runs in the sixth, loading the bases on a single by Adrian Gonzalez, an error by Jeter and a single by Gomez. Ciriaco then cleared the bases with his third hit. Continued...
Gonzalez doubled in the seventh, one of his three hits as he extended his hitting streak to a career-best 18 games.
He scored on a triple by Ryan Sweeney, who came in on Gomez's double. Gomez scored the double by Ciriaco, who came around on his steal and a bad throw. The Yankees ended the scoring on a solo homer in the ninth by Eric Chavez, his seventh.
In the opener, Nick Swisher belted a three-run shot in the first and Jayson Nix added a solo drive in the fourth. Swisher snapped an 0-for-17 slide with his 13th homer. The next batter, Jones, followed with a drive to nearly the same spot.
"It's crazy, man. Like I've always said, this team's designed to hit home runs," Swisher said. "That's kind of our thing."
Each of the four homers in Game 1 came against Franklin Morales (1-2).
"Yeah, his fastball kept moving in over the middle of the plate to right-handed hitters. He couldn't control it," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. "He gave up the home runs to home-run hitters in hitters' counts."
Jeter had three singles for New York.
All-Star slugger Robinson Cano went 1 for 4 and scored a run for New York, but his streak of games with at least one RBI was snapped at nine. He equaled Jeter's 2004 surge as the longest by a Yankee since Reggie Jackson went 11 in a row in 1979.
Morales lasted just 3 1-3 innings, yielding six runs and six hits.
"I was just throwing my pitches and missing," he said. "I missed with my fastball and they hit homers." Continued...
Garcia (3-2) gave up one run and six hits under overcast skies, improving to 10-4 in 23 career games against Boston.
"He did an amazing job. He used all his pitches," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
The Yankees hit consecutive homers again in the fourth when Jones and Nix each sent one into the Green Monster seats. It was Jones' 43rd multihomer game.
"It's nice. Get a lead early, four or five runs, just got out go out there and shut it down," Garcia said. "And that's what I did."

Susan Tyrrell
Died June 17, 2012. Born March 18, 1945.
American actress of Irish descent, known for her Academy Award-nominated performance as Oma in Fat City and her role as Ramona Rickettes in the film Cry-Baby.
Tyrrell was born in San Francisco, California. Her father was a top agent at one time with the William Morris Agency. She built up her résumé in summer stock and regional plays, usually cast in standard ingénue roles, although her theatre roles would grow larger once she came to New York City, where she appeared in The Rimers of Eldritch, Cactus Flower, King Lear, Camino Real, and The Time of Your Life, among others.
After her film debut in Shoot Out (1971), her performance as Oma in Fat City brought her a 1972 Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Susan Tyrrell played Solly, a tough, foul-mouthed lesbian, in both 1980s cult-films Angel and Avenging Angel. In the first film she sparred with co-star Dick Shawn over a game of cribbage, and in the sequel, Solly acted as den-mother to a group of transvestite prostitutes and raised an abandoned baby. She appeared in the cult classic film Cry Baby in 1990 as Ramona Rickettes.
In early 2000, she suffered the loss of both legs as a result of blood clots due to the rare blood disease essential thrombocythemia. She has continued to work, playing Ella the Fortune Teller in Masked and Anonymous (2003) and the High Priestess in The Devil's Due at Midnight (2004).
She is sometimes credited as Susan Tyrell in her early films. At her request, her narration for Ralph Bakshi's Wizards was uncredited. However, the film brought her so much work, she later told Bakshi she regretted not taking a credit.
She is also a composer, credited with the song "Witch's Egg" in Forbidden Zone, in which she starred, a 1980 low-budget indie film directed by Richard Elfman with musical group Oingo Boingo (known as The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo then).
In 2000, she contracted a rare blood disease and had both legs amputated. Nonetheless, she continued to appear in films such as Larry Charles' "Masked and Anonymous."

After a chance encounter with charming businessman Raymond Forbes (Bruno Ganz), Lillian finds herself tempted to abandon her usually meticulous approach to romance. Fear wells up, though, and she heads back to London, where her job as a National Health physician awaits. Returning to her flat, Lillian finds Amy (Bridget Fonda), her peripatetic younger sister, who is visiting London, partying hard, and dabbling in the fashion world. Amy seems to be everything Lillian isn't: impulsive, irresponsible, and devoid of vocation. Back at work, Lillian finds herself drawn into the plight of a young man with terminal cancer, her emotional investment leading her to consider taking a stand against the toll Thatcherism is taking on Britain's health care system. Into this already complicated life comes Raymond, who has tracked Lillian to London, determined to woo and even marry her. Against her better judgment, Lillian acquiesces a bit at a time -- until a fierce row with Amy sends her spinning even faster into Raymond's alluring orbit. When Raymond disappears as mysteriously as he arrived, however, Lillian must come to terms with the choices she has made. Strapless was filmed between seasons of The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, Brown's cult-favorite TV series; fans of the show will notice that Molly Dodd is closer in temperament to Fonda's character in Strapless than to Brown's. ~ Brian J.

Critic Reviews
Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)
More complex and surprising than it looks.
James Sanford, James Sanford on Film
continues Hare's salute to fascinating, challenging women. ...The situations will ring true to anyone who has ever placed their faith in the wrong person or wrote off someone who later made a surprising comeback.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Revolves around an American doctor's midlife crisis and her conflicted views of love and work.
James Kendrick, Q Network Film Desk
Every exchange between characters is loaded with significance, but little of it comes out because it is all so labored.

"We had plenty of opportunities to score but couldn't come up with the big hit when we needed it," he added as his fourth-seeded Bears had at least one runner on second base in each inning, but came away with no two-out hits in a 3-2 win over seventh-seeded McMinn County.
The victory advances Bradley (22-12) to the second round Friday where it will face the winner of tonight's battle between second-seeded Ooltewah (20-11) and No. 3 Soddy-Daisy (17-15). Fifth-seeded Cleveland High (13-17) also won Wednesday evening, downing No. 6 Rhea County 4-2, and advances to face top-seeded Walker Valley (21-8) Friday evening at 8.
After the Owls and Trojans open tonight's action at 5, the tournament's first elimination game will be played when McMinn County (4-24) takes on Rhea County (12-17). The event will continue Saturday with a pair of elimination games at 1 and 4 p.m., before the winner's bracket final at 7.
Things got off to a roller coaster start for Bradley Wednesday as senior ace Jordan Whitmire struck out the opening batter, but then McMinn's Blake Powers blooped a "dying quail" into short right field for a single.
Returning to the starting lineup after rehabbing an injury, second baseman Brently White dove to his right to stab a sinking line drive for the second out, but Cherokee clean-up batter Hunter Cardin sliced a triple down the right field line to plate the game's first run.
The Bears were able to bounce back from the early deficit with a pair of runs in the bottom of the first when senior Dylan Johnston led off with a solid double to the left-center field wall. Johnston moved to third on a wild pitch and after a walk to senior Chase Wiseman, scored when classmate Robbie Works (.396 BA) added to his team leading 30th RBI by beating out an infield hit. Works scored a few minutes later on a two-out Tribe throwing error.
While Whitmire was taking care of the visitors by facing the minimum in each of the next four innings, the Bears bats had plenty of hits, but none at the right time.
Johnston roped a one-out triple in the second, but was stranded there. Junior Caleb Pippenger opened the third with an infield hit when he avoided the tag of the McMinn pitcher on a slow roller up the first base line. Junior Jacob Fowler followed with a double to put two runners in scoring position, but neither was able to come home.
In the fourth Johnston led off with a walk and stole second, but once again he was left there. Junior Jacob Maynard ripped a one-out double in the fifth, but after moving to third on a sac fly, was stranded.
McMinn was able to tie the game in the top of the sixth. The leadoff man was plunked and scored on a throwing error that should have ended the inning. The Bears once again got a base runner in the bottom of the frame when Johnston drew another walk. After he was erased on a fielder's choice, Wiseman took his place on base, stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch only to be left 90 feet away when the third out was recorded.
Whitmire once again hit the leadoff man in the seventh, but after giving up an infield hit, worked out of the jam with his sixth strikeout of the night and a groundout.
For the fourth time in the contest, Bradley got its leadoff batter on in the final at bat when Pippenger roped a 1-2 pitch into right field. Courtesy runner Corey Loftis moved to second when Fowler beat out a push bunt. After an infield fly-out, White was then hit by a pitch to load the bases. The Cherokee reliever then threw three straight balls to sophomore Baylor Terrell. After a strike down the chute, ball four was high and Loftis trotted in with the game-winning run.
Whitmire (1.56 ERA) moved to 6-3 on the season with his complete-game effort, scattering four hits, issuing three free passes and striking out a half dozen.
"Jordan had a little trouble early and then there at the end but he shut them down for four straight innings in the middle to keep us close," coach Adams praised. "We have got to do a better job of getting runners in when we have the opportunity."
Johnston reached base four times with his double, triple and two walks to improve his on base percentage to .458 on the season, plus 10 of his 28 hits have gone for extra bases. Fowler (.380 OBP) and Pippenger (.324) both helped out with a pair of hits, including a double.
McMinn County 100 001 0 — 2 4 1
Bradley Central 200 000 1 — 3 8 2

Matt studied a Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne and then a Bachelor of Commerce at Monash University before starting as a vacationer at KPMG in the summer of 2005 and returning as a graduate in February of 2007.
Why did you choose to apply to your business group?
Having initially studied Science, I realised that life spent in a lab coat was not for me, so I decided to start a Commerce degree. After sampling the variety of subjects on offer, accounting was what most interested me. When I spoke to KPMG people and attended various career nights, I thought that a career in audit would provide a broad range of experiences with large listed companies.
What is your average week like?
An average week involves travelling to a client site with colleagues, discussing the audit plan for the week and then undertaking the appropriate audit procedures. A lot of time is spent meeting with the client to gain an understanding of their business and obtaining the necessary documentation. The week would also involve some KPMG in-house training relating to the CA program or audit technical skills development.
What is the most unusual work situation you have been in?
For one of my clients I had to follow the entire production line process whereby massive machinery lines and ovens turn a variety of ingredients into crackers!
What sort of training have you done?KPMG provides diverse in-house training sessions ranging from business etiquette and managing your performance, to technical training to enhance basic accounting skills and the audit process. This training has been really valuable as it provides you with everything you need to know about the work and what would be involved.
What makes KPMG stand out from other firms is its commitment to the CA program through the numerous training sessions and mock exam preparation. This training in invaluable – it's like having your own personal tutors right here at work!
What are your goals for the future?
My main priority at the moment is to complete the CA program and then take advantage of an international secondment opportunity to further develop my audit skills.
What five words would sum up your first year at KPMG?

Bloomberg: The National Hockey League has announced a partnership with a gay rights advocacy group as part of an effort to become "the most inclusive professional sports league" in the world.
The NHL and its players union reached an agreement with the You Can Play Project, a Denver-based advocacy group that opposes homophobia in sports and promotes LGBT equality.
"We are delighted to reaffirm through this joint venture with the NHL Players' Association that the official policy of the NHL is one of inclusion on the ice, in our locker rooms and in the stands," says NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman in a statement.

Busy moms often ask, "What's the best way to find healthier food for my family?" Now it's easier than ever: Just keep an eye out for the "Great for You" icon on healthy items in the produce section and on Great Value and Marketside products rolling out nationwide later this year. This inspiring icon is part of Walmart's healthier food initiative, specially made to help customers select the most nutritious food options at affordable prices. These include fresh, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, fiber-rich whole grains, low-fat dairy, nuts, seeds and lean meats. Other examples of these items include brown rice, 100 percent whole-wheat bread, 1 percent milk, raw almonds and 93 percent lean ground beef. We know you have to balance busy schedules and tight budgets — now this simple tool makes it even easier to plan healthy meals for you and your family.
You can trust that foods labeled with the "Great For You" icon have met rigorous nutrition criteria based on the latest nutrition science from the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Institute of Medicine (IOM). The criteria have undergone an extensive evaluation process using thousands of grocery items to help ensure that only those grocery items from food groups that we should eat more of and with nutrients that we should eat more of get the "Great For You" stamp of approval. Specific details on the criteria and a list of healthy recipes using "Great For You" foods can be found at www.walmartgreatforyou.com.
"Customers asked us to make healthier food choices easy while keeping prices low," said Jack Sinclair, executive vice president of grocery for Walmart. "The nutrition experts we engaged told us to make the criteria tough and significant. We feel confident that the "Great For You" icon balances those objectives, and will become an important tool Walmart shoppers can use to fill their fridge and pantries with healthier food at prices our customers can afford."

Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk 12-3-12: Government Spending Will Send Us Over The Fiscal Cliff
Submitted by SteveMT on Mon, 12/03/2012 - 00:57- Login to post comments
Why Are Elected Officials Trying To Bankrupt America ,,,
,,And many of the people that live in America ????
And how did bankers gain control of most of the money and most politicians?
In my humble opinion, by DISREGARDING the nothing but Gold/Silver clause in the U.S. Constitution !
Ron Paul IS my President !

and here's the How :

Find all this confusing ? The confusion is easily removed once you realize there were TWO PARALLEL SCHOOLS for global enslavement by THE STATE :
1. the soviets, in their victim Russia, from 1917 and on
2. the other school, in stealth mode - and even more DISGUSTING, in the U.S., from 1910 until TODAY :
The latter also in disguise behind the U.N. veil.

Fiscal Cliff = 1937
Congress should have a policy of abiding by the political equivalent of the Hippocratic Oath which instructs physicians to "First Do No Harm". The economic recovery, weak and tepid as it is, is nevertheless producing enough additional tax revenue to have reduced the federal budget deficit by $206 billion in fiscal year. All else being equal, if you extrapolate that deficit reduction out by 10 years you have more than $2 trillion without any spending cuts or any tax increases. Austerity, in the Euro-Zone has not worked out so well and budget deficits in Greece, Spain have only gotten worse because tax revenue continues to collapse as the depression deepens. The same will happen here in the US if Congress and the White House impose austerity at this time. We'll go back into recession and ironically the budget deficit will get bigger again because tax revenue will collapse. If history repeats itself, this could end up being like a replay of the 1937 recession within the depression.

Yes, I would recommend this business to a friend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our photo session with Fiona and our newborn baby. She took her time, made us feel at ease, was friendly and patient when I needed to feed or passify our baby, and produced absolutely beautiful photos. We loved the fact that we got a CD of the photos for our own use. We look forward to the next photo session as our family grows. We highly recommend Fiona, and feel like we have gained a new friend.

Attachment parenting is a style of caring for your infant that brings out the best in the baby and the best in the parents.
"What if something happens to prevent our immediate bonding?"
Sometimes medical complications keep you and your baby apart for a while, but then catch-up bonding is what happens, starting as soon as possible. When the concept of bonding was first delivered onto the parenting scene twenty years ago, some people got it out of balance. The concept of human bonding being an absolute "critical period" or a "now-or-never" relationship was never intended. Birth bonding is not like instant glue that cements the mother-child relationship together forever. Bonding is a series of steps in your lifelong growing together with your child. Immediate bonding simply gives the parent- infant relationship a headstart. (See "Birth Bonding")

- I am tremendously pleased with the product
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that my fabulous bargain table and benches arrived and set up with magical ease. They are truly beautiful and promise long life and beauty ahead. My last redwood table and benches, at a tenth the price, from a local source, lasted nearly 50 years, but they were fastened with steel so the joints gave way too soon. The wood was always okay. I suspect it was old-growth redwood because nobody was caring about the environmental costs in those days. Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know I am tremendously pleased with the product and salute you for your restoration commitment.
Review by Robert S.
- I am so glad I did not settle
I recently purchased a small picnic table and benches as a birthday gift for my daughter in law. I just want to say thank you. It is absolutely beautiful and far exceeded my expectations.
I searched for a long time finding nothing with the quality I was looking for until I found your online site. I am so glad I did not settle.
She now has her little outdoor 'sanctuary' space and will be able to enjoy her table for many years.
Thank you again
Review by Jan C.
- You and your company are one in a million!
[This is a response to an email about taking care of your Forever Redwood furniture.]
Dear Raul,
Thank you for this friendly and informative email. We were just admiring our picnic table and benches and wondering if we were taking proper care of them. After four years I think we are close to the totally silver finish which looks very good with our deck and aged cedar shakes. It's good to know that we can take the table back to its original color if we want to. You and your company are one in a million! Enjoy your children and your success.
Review by E. McCann
- Thanks again for a real work of art.
Raul—we jumped the gun this year and put up our table while there was still snow on the ground—on June 8th! It went together perfectly. Thanks again for a real "work of art".
Review by Louise
- Gorgeous new picnic table built by your craftsman….
Hi, Raul~ Gil and his crew just left my home, leaving me with a gorgeous (and wonderful smelling!) new picnic table built by your craftsman. I'm very pleased, Raul, not only with the table, which I absolutely love, but with your courteous and conscientious service as well. I'm looking forward to the day in the near future when I do business with Old Growth Again, perhaps for a couple of the small picnic benches and maybe some of your pergola/trellis designs for my new home and garden. Thank you very much; it really has been a pleasure doing business with you.
Review by Patril
- We'll raise a toast to you and Old-Growth Again
Our picnic table has arrived. The mature growth wood is beautiful.
I really must commend your kit-makers. All the holes line up very nicely so far.
It seems counter-intuitive that making furniture from beautiful redwood trees actually helps to conserve the redwood forests, but we're certainly delighted to do our part. Next time we entertain friends around our new table, we'll raise a toast to you and Old-Growth Again…
Review by Coralee
- It's got an incredible solidity and presence…
We love the table and benches… you can serve up FISH STICKS on that table, and it still feels like an event! It's got an incredible solidity and presence that I've never felt from a "picnic table" before. Again, thank you, and KUDOS on your incredible product. I've never really been in love with a picnic table before!!
Review by Adam K.
- I will be happy to recommend you to my soon-to-be envious neighbors.
Greetings -
The crate arrived today. No apparent damage - all looks fine. I only got the lounge chairs out so far, but the workmanship is obvious. I will be happy to recommend you to my soon-to-be envious neighbors.
I'll send a pic when it is all set up!
Raul's Response
Great news. When I saw your email this evening, my first response was to worry that the shippers didn't make it before the weekend as they promised. Glad you got them in time for the weekend and that you are pleased with the quality. I'll let the boys in the shop know you liked the loungers. Hope the weather is better than last weekend so you can enjoy the set.
I don't know if I mentioned it, but the Sunbrella fabric is machine washable. So, if they get dirty just unzip the covers, pull the foam out, and throw them in the wash.
Thanks again for your support. If you need anything else, please email me directly anytime. Look forward to seeing how the furniture likes its new home…
Raul F. Hernandez
Review by Cliff
- Thank you so much for such a wonderful product
Hi Raul—
I just arrived at the cabin and the table and benches are perfect! Thank You — thank you so much for such a wonderful product. Gil was awesome with the delivery and set-up, so I will call him also. (He called my cell on Tuesday, as I thought I was coming up that day, just wanting to hear my thoughts)! I'll take photos to email other family members … but we will all be using it all summer long and be very grateful to you and your staff!
Review by B. and K. Lieginger

WOW!!!!! I think I like it!! My picnic table is AWESOME!!!!!!! PERFECT… BEAUTIFUL….SOFT-TO-THE-TOUCH………… I know it's a "table", it's "wood", …it's Redwood, ….I can't seem to think of anything more than MY picnic table is, again, AWESOME! THANK YOU!!!
Review by Sharon
Make eating outside an occasion with our popular Round Picnic Tables. Its round design has plenty of room for large platters and oversized bowls, and its weather resistant Redwood and quality craftsmanship will provide decades of dining enjoyment with friends and family.
- Available in sizes that seat up to 12 adults comfortably
- Tailor it to your tastes easily with our more options - tabletop style, attached benches or no seating, bench styles, umbrella holes, stains/sealants, etc. For Unattached Benches see Round Picnic (Unattached Benches)
- Materials to last a lifetime - our extra thick, finely sanded Redwood that outlasts cedar/teak, stainless hardware and the best weather resistant sealants.
- Simple Assembly
As with all our products, Forever Redwood will use sales proceeds for our work to grow and protect our Redwood Forests.
- The secret to outdoor longevity begins and ends with the wood. We use generous amounts of the most decay resistant wood available. We encourage our customers to compare photos of our items side by side with any competing product. Thickness counts. Furniture that is thin and light simply won't last in the year round weather.
- To keep your furniture beautiful, we use only stainless steel hardware and the highest quality stains and sealants. We use only the Sikkens brand of sealants.
- Our primary customer has always been the homeowner that appreciates spending a bit more for quality that will last decades.
- Our products are installed with organizations that appreciate longevity like the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. military installations, State and City parks, golf clubs and hotels.
- We are favored by many landscape architects and contractors because they can count on exceptional quality and quick personal service to complete projects.
- We build each item by hand. This insures your set is finely finished and carefully inspected. Old-fashioned hand building also allows us to adjust the size or design of any item to fit your needs.
- Because we are a forestry company, we can offer 5 exceptional wood grades to choose from our carefully managed forests with warranties of up to 30 years against decay in any weather. Click for more about our 5 wood grades
Wood decay is warrantied up to 30 years depending on the wood grade. No other outdoor furniture manufacturer has warranties like this. The key is the excellent quality of our wood and the extra-thick timber designs of all our pieces.
Wood Grades and Decay Warranty:
- Douglas-fir: 10 years
- Mosaic Eco-Wood: 10 years
- Redwood: 15 years
- Mature Redwood: 20 years
- Old-Growth Redwood: 30 years
Forever Redwood stands behind its products. We are committed to quickly resolving any issues that might occur. For more information please see our Warranty page.

Secretary of State Office of the Secretary of State to Consolidate Offices
The Office of the Secretary of State announced today that the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) branch office located at 363 Versailles Road in Frankfort, KY will be consolidated into other offices located at the Capitol Building. The new office will be located in RM 153 of the Capitol, marking the first time that all services of the Secretary of State will be located under the same roof in nearly five years.
"Recent improvements in technology allowed our office to transform into a 24 hour-a-day transaction center through our online services. This technology, along with typical attrition, enabled us to consolidate our operations into one office at the Capitol Building," stated Secretary of State Trey Grayson. "These efficiencies plus the added benefit of more online services represent a win-win situation for the citizens of Kentucky."
The UCC branch will close its operations at the Versailles Road location at 4:30 p.m. on June 13, 2005 and will reopen at the Capitol Building with normal business hours on June 15th. All online services as well as other branches of the Office of the Secretary of State will remain operational during that time. To file a UCC on the 14th, the online filing service can be accessed at: http://sos.ky.gov/business/ucc/online/.
To contact the UCC Branch after June 14, 2005, you may call (502) 564-3490. The mailing address for the UCC Branch will remain the same: Office of the Secretary of State,UCC Branch, PO Box 1470, Frankfort, KY 40601.

Beyond Proficiency @ your library® is a web-based tool to guide Kentucky school media librarians, school administrators and SBDM councils in creating and maintaining effective library media programs for the 21st century. This set of guidelines from the Kentucky Department of Education aligns with national library standards and provides a framework for the effective management of a quality school library media program.
Several Kentucky universities offer programs in school media librarian certification. Visit the websites of each school for specific details about programs they offer.
According to the American Association of School Librarians' Standards for the 21st-Century Learner, "Ethical behavior in the use of information must be taught. In this increasingly global world of information, students must be taught to seek diverse perspectives, gather and use information ethically, and use social tools responsibly and safely."
A collection development plan generally begins with a needs assessment that may include an inventory of available library media materials, an alignment of available materials to the state standards and teacher input on curricular needs. The collection development plan generally includes strategies for selecting, evaluating, purchasing, processing, and weeding materials.
Social Studies Consumer Guide
Copyright laws, guidelines, and policy impact all school staff and students. Publishers and owners of copyright are increasingly watchful for infringements. Educators behavior with regard to copyrights sends a clear message to students.
State Multiple Instructional Resources List for Vocational Studies (includes Career and Technical Education) and Practical Living. Group V, 2004-2010.
Access to the library media center allows the use of the library media center at the "point of need" by individuals, groups, and/or classes through mutual planning by the library media specialist and the classroom teacher to integrate information literacy skills and literature into the classroom curriculum. Students and teachers must be able to come to the center throughout the day to use information sources, to read for pleasure, and to meet and work with other students and teachers.
Mathematics Blank Evaluation Tool
Professional library media organizations encourage and offer opportunities for professional growth, participation in professional activities, and cooperation/collaboration with other educators.
The school library media center is regarded as the hub of the school community and integral to teaching and learning. By providing teachers and students with a full range of print and electronic resources to support learning, the school library media center impacts student achievement.
Participation in a network of school library media specialists locally or nationally enables a library media specialist to stay current, discuss issues, and ask questions electronically. KYLMS is specific to library media specialists in Kentucky.
Contact information as provided by the publishers as of June 2007.
Library media specialists are in a unique position that allows them to play a vital role in promoting the importance of reading among all learners. The Kentucky Bluegrass Award and Read Across America are two reading programs the library media specialist may want to offer to students.

People often ask me what I think are the exact best Bluetooth headsets available today. Since I really didn't have an answer for them I decided to thoroughly investigate six high-quality headsets and see what's so good about each of these particular devices.
Please continue reading so you can get a brief overview of what I believe are the six best Bluetooth headsets available today.
One of the best things about the Plantronics Voyager Pro is that the noise canceling technology available with this device is second to none. Your voice will sound really crystal-clear and anyone you are listening to on the other end of the line will come out perfectly in your earpiece as well. Plus it also comes available with a pivoting boom mic which allows you to switch the headset from one ear to the other very quickly and easily. If you are tired of using it in your right here for whatever reason you can easily pivot the mic to change directions and switch it over to your left ear. This is a great option to have and one you will really enjoy using.
This is one of the best Bluetooth headsets because of its incredibly ultra-slim design. It's such a lightweight device and so thin and tiny that you hardly even realize that you have it nestled securely in your ear. The device comes fully equipped with its own small charging cradle and it also has a vehicle power adapter in case you ever have to charge it up while you are on the road. This device also has two types of profiles that it supports. The first Bluetooth profile is called the hands-free profile and there is also another profile that you can choose from which is called the headset profile.
This headset is particularly convenient because it allows you to easily switch to hands-free talking when you happen to be using the earpiece to listen to music. This is a very convenient option for you to have and one that you will truly enjoy because it makes your life so much easier. There is also a omni-directional microphone available to you and this is a hidden microphone that you don't actually see and you really don't need to have it directly in front of your lips in order for your voice to go through the microphone. The microphone is actually located in one of the earpieces.
This is one of the best Bluetooth headsets that is completely wireless and is very easy to operate. The buttons are called intuitive buttons and you can easily find them right on the right earcup. What's great about having them there is you can easily raise and lower the volume at your convenience, and you are also able to easily change audio tracks in this exact same location. This is such a smart place to have it where it makes accessing this device such a simple process and one that you will thoroughly enjoy. It's also really easy for you to answer the phone using this device because all you need to do is touch the main button and it will immediately switch you over to the call while pausing whatever music you happen to be listening to.
This particular headset is really good because it has a lot of incredible features that makes it stand out high above the rest. The thing I like best about this particular headset is that they created it with the comfort of the user in mind. They give you two different options on how you can choose to wear this particular earpiece so this helps out a great deal if you find one way comfortable and the other way not so comfortable. Or you can just switch back and forth which is also another really good option to have.
I find this to be one of the best Bluetooth headsets because it allows you to wear the headset either in the ear hook style or the headband style. Plus this particular headset is very clear when listening to someone talk to you over it. And it is also very clear to the person that you are talking to as well.
This is the final headset of the best Bluetooth headsets that I will review. The thing I like most about this particular headset is the battery life is really long. You can get up to 10 hours of talk time each and every day off of one charge when you use this particular headset. Another thing that really strikes my fancy is the fact that there are three different earpieces to choose from when making your final decision. I personally like to have a lot of options so being able to choose from three different earpieces felt like a nice choice to have.

Perception, they say, is everything.
Which is why this week's blockbuster deal between the Toronto Blue Jays and Miami Marlins is so significant in a market where skepticism has been growing like weeds.
Asking for patience and trust is standard operating procedure anytime new management takes over a team that has stalled on the road to success.
But it's hard to think of any one city where that card has been played as often by every sports franchise as it has in Toronto, but with so little to show for it.
The fact is -- the Argos' recent success reaching this weekend's East Division Final notwithstanding -- that the message has started to ring a little hollow across the entire spectrum of Toronto teams, with results consistently failing to back up the promises of better things to come.
No wonder there has been an overall erosion of faith. No wonder there has been widespread doubt that the people in charge have the resources and authority to do what needs to be done. Or that if they did, would they even know what to do?
All of which has turned Toronto into a kind of professional sports embarrassment, where the best players in a particular sport appear to have as little faith in the city's teams as do the fans.
The stars in other cities don't want to come. And those few who do wind up in Toronto often wind up looking for a way out.
Meanwhile the losing continues.
The farewells for Roy Halladay and Chris Bosh could not have been more different but both represented the very same thing: premier athletes in their respective sports who left town because they'd decided their aspirations for a championship could not be met in Toronto.
The brief hope last July that Steve Nash was coming to Toronto, the clouded attempt to land Yu Darvish last winter and the inexplicable absence of the Leafs from being able to land marquee free agents in hockey are all examples of how marginalized the city has become when it comes to professional sports.
Yes, the Argos managed to stem that tide last December by bringing quarterback Ricky Ray to town, but the fact is it's been a while since the local CFL team has been able to shift the sports culture of Toronto in a significant way.
The Blue Jays acquiring three front line bonafide major league players in Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson and Jose Reyes doesn't guarantee the Blue Jays anything. (Just like, say, Buffalo Bills fans have come to realize that signing Mario Williams didn't guarantee them one of the NFL's top defences.)
And bold moves - such the Maple Leafs acquisitions of Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf - do not in themselves mark the imminent arrival of a winner.
But what the Blue Jays did this weeks is, at the very least, an act of good faith backed up by the willingness to spend money.
And an approach that marks a departure from the manner in which most Toronto teams have operated in recent years, including the Blue Jays, where it's been about developing prospects, finding diamonds in the rough or being the home of second chances -- essentially the only ways you can operate when you're afraid to spend money and-or good players won't chose to come here on their own.
Did the Blue Jays just become a better team this week? Probably. But no one will know for sure for a few more months and then some.
But the fact is for once this wasn't a move about the future, about for what someone is projecting years down the road when all the dominoes fall the right way.
This time it's about now.
And finally the Blue Jays are a part of a kind of conversation that's been had in Toronto far too rarely of late.
A conversation not about winning someday, but winning now.

IT'S the dark side of Wauchope that we all know about but hope it never happens to us.
Unfortunately though for our town, a Sydney visitor has been hit by thieves who rifled through his vehicle stealing valuables including a 80 year old didgeridoo.
Windsor resident, John Cupit, said he was spending the weekend working with one of Australia's leading Blacksmiths in Wauchope.
"It was a great chance for me to learn new skills from a master craftsman and visit friends I have not seen for a while," he said.
"Businesses like this bring cash into Wauchope.
"I stayed in the motel on High Street, and on Saturday night between 12pm and 7am your locals broke into my car, rifled through it looking for things, took money, my GPS and my Didgeridoo.
"I am a musician, and I have a gig coming up on July 29 and no didgeridoo now. This didg is a special key, and matched to the music I play.
"I thought you might like to run something and see if the Didge turns up. It is 80 years old, it is a real one, and the only thing passed down from my grandfather to me.
"What a pity the families living in Wauchope have become so pathetic, that their kids wander the streets at night, skulking around, stealing from people who are bringing money into your town.
"This is Australia, and we are Australians, the people in your town need to learn respect for others, and teach their children something more in life to drinking and stealing.
"Shame on Wauchope and your families.
"If anyone who lives in your town notices their kids with a Didgeridoo they did not buy, (or a Uniden GPS) it could be mine, and I would like it back please, or if someone offers you one of these, beware of stolen goods.
"Restore my faith in Wauchope, Australians, and youth, do the right thing."
Anyone with information on the didge can contact the Wauchope police or return the didge to the Gazette.
