Columbia 300 News
Clara Guerrero only third woman ever to advance to televised championship
Wes Malott of Pflugerville, Texas, capped a three-match sweep in the finals of the Professional Bowlers Association Cheetah Championship, defeating top qualifier Parker Bohn III of Jackson, N.J., in the title match of the historic ESPN telecast, 243-169, for his ninth career PBA Tour title.
The first of seven telecasts from PBA World Series of Bowling V at South Point Hotel, Casino and Bowling Center aired Sunday on ESPN, and featured the use of a highly-visible blue oil on the lanes for the first time in PBA history.
Malott, in winning his second consecutive title, defeated Colombia native Clara Guerrero, 214-208, in the opening match, and was nearly perfect in ousting 51-year-old PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber of St. Ann, Mo., 288-242, in advancing to the title match.
Guerrero, only the third woman ever to advance to the nationally-televised championship round of a PBA Tour event, made a short-lived, but exciting appearance. The 31-year-old former Wichita State University star – now married and an American citizen living not far from Malott in Pflugerville – took a 15-pin lead over Malott into the eighth frame of the opening match. But Malott finished with a string of five strikes to eliminate Guerrero, 214-208, and exorcise a personal demon.
In two previous nationally-televised matches against another woman star, Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y., Malott lost both times. He committed a foul that contributed to a 235-228 loss to Johnson in the 2005 PBA Banquet Open (the first time a woman had ever appeared on a PBA Tour telecast), and in July, after he won the U.S. Open in Columbus, Ohio, Malott lost a special "Battle of the Sexes" match against Johnson, the Women's U.S. Open winner, 194-188.
"There was a lot riding on this show, especially for me," Malott said. "The first match against Clara – the lady – I obviously remembered my foul against Liz and losing to Liz at the U.S. Open. I needed to get that off my back. As much as I acted like it wasn't there, it was on the back of my mind. I told myself at the end of the match I couldn't give up and let it happen again, so I wanted to put the pressure on her and I was fortunate to come out the winner."
For Guerrero, just the opportunity "was a dream," she said. "Every time you see the guys on TV, you want to compete with them, beat them. So being here, having the opportunity to bowl against the greatest bowlers in the world, it was a dream. It was the best part of my career."
After closing out Guerrero with his string of five strikes, Malott added another 10 in a row against Weber, losing his shot at a perfect game when he left a 10 pin on his 11th shot.
"That might have been the best shot I threw all day," Malott said of the 11th shot. "I'd throw that one again a million times."
He continued his torrid pace, striking on seven of his first eight shots in racing away from Bohn in the title match.
"Against Pete, both of us are kind of in the running for player of the year, and I thought I would help my chances by winning that match," Malott said, "but I also had to beat Parker to win the title, so every match meant a lot. I just worried about myself and did what I could to win back-to-back titles (the Cheetah Championship was the first PBA Tour event since the U.S. Open), and it's a great feeling."
The Cheetah Championship was the first time a lane conditioning oil with a color additive had ever been used in a PBA Tour championship event, and it was praised by both Guerrero and Malott.
"I saw it," Guerrero said. "I thought it was going to be a little different. I thought I'd see the lines on the bowling ball, but it didn't bother me at all. I think it's cool for the audience to actually see the oil and understand the game a little more, but I just ignored it."
Malott agreed.
"Everyone was concerned about what the dye was going to do to the oil, but I really didn't move for all three games," he said. "Because I bowled all three games playing the same line, so you could see the track of the ball. That's what I was curious about.
"This oil could be very educating for the fans and outsiders to help them understand what we're dealing with, and to see how accurate we are," he added. "To me that's more important than what the oil did to us. I don't think it affected anything performance-wise. I'm kind of excited about it."
The "blue oil" will be used in all four animal pattern championship finals held during the World Series. The Viper Championship presented by PBA Bowling Challenge will air next Sunday, Dec. 8, followed by the Chameleon Championship on Dec. 15 and the Scorpion Championship on Dec. 22. All December telecasts begin at 1 p.m. ET.
The Cheetah Championship telecast also included the first of four special "PBA League Challenge" segments, allowing the eight PBA League franchise players to demonstrate their skills in unique competitions. The first segment was a "blind bowling" event in which a large curtain was suspended over the lanes, hiding the pins from the players and leaving only the first part of the lanes visible for targeting. Each player bowled a ninth and 10th frame, and Weber – the franchise player for the PBA League New York City WTT KingPins – won the initial round of "challenge" competition by throwing four strikes for a perfect score of 60.
In the light-hearted competition, BROOKLYN STyLES franchise player Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., asked for a re-rack (despite not being able to see the pins) and competitors jokingly complained that Dallas Strikers franchise player Norm Duke had an unfair advantage because he's so short, he could see under curtain.
After winning the round, Weber said, "I didn't have to shoot any spares, so what's the big deal? I spot at the foul line, so shooting spares wouldn't have been a problem if I had needed to shoot at one. I never even saw the screen."
Next Sunday's Viper Championship telecast will include a "speed bowling" PBA League Challenge, calling for players to roll as many strikes as possible in a span of 90 seconds.

Life is a journey. Retirement has its blessings. It gives me the chance to pursue some dreams. I hae no regrets being born to my generation. I thought then in 1990's that life was fast-paced. Whew! Look at today's younger generation. Seems like they are on-call, with their cell phones and laptops on all the time. I am told that if they don't do this and they slacken off, there is always someone waiting to take their place.This is April 2012- where oh where is Spring? We did not have much of the famous Canadian winter, but got a lot of icy days. I prefer snow to ice.I love to write. I dreamt of a website back in 2003. I had a few essays and I thought at the time that was all I needed for a website. Today, I have over a hundred pages on my website.Allow me to share this poem:
Oh yes- but Life is fragile, more fragile than we would ever acknowledge. elusive and shattered dreams,dashed hopes and a journey from somewhere to nowhere.
look at the bright sideEach day is a blessing, so much to be thankful for.
Thank God for the gift of another day.Almost the end of April 2012. Spring just seem to stay away, too chilly for a Spring day. It is a good time to sit down with a cup of coffee and reflect on Life. The internet is flooded with articles about spirituality, the meaning of Life, the Law of Attraction. All it takes is, to take a minute and watch the news- so much violence, politicians are getting out of hand,natural disasters that bring with it devastation, death and social displacement. We live in troubled times- economically, politically, socially,environmentally on global scale. There is a feeling of helpless for those who are in the frontlines of disaster.Last year, the world was pre-occupied with the forecast of doom and gloom- the end of times on December 21,2012. The anxiety is wearing off. But- should society take some precautionary measures just in case the weather takes areal bad turn? Power can be down for days, I believe this is possible. Severe climate change can happen when least expected. It never hurts to be prepared.
Thank you to all who sent me green stars. I tried to contact some, but I understand I can only do one introduction a week. I look forward tonupgrading my internet connection so I can be more active with Care 2.

Volunteers from Home Depot in Southington spent a recent Friday at Plainville's Food Pantry helping the organization meet its maintenance and construction needs.
There are two branches in Home Depot within in Southington – this one is on the southern side of town in the Milldale section– and tries to do community services projects on a regular basis. A planned future project will service the nearby Milldale Firehouse, which is the home of Southington's food pantry.
While in Plainville, "Team Depot" gave a new coat of paint to the inside of the pantry and worked on rain gutters for the facility. There was also a lot of attention given to the smaller buildings behind the pantry's main headquarters.
"These storage units out here for donations needed to be finished," said Jim Bacon, a service associate who led the team of volunteers. "It will help them utilize this space better by adding shelves and racks."
In their current state, the storage units are simply empty rooms where donations of all items will be stored. With new shelves and racks, the various items can be clearly organized. As one example, bikes are often given to the food pantry, and Team Depot planned to install bike racks to keep them from taking up room on the floor.
"This is great," said Scott Unnever, the pantry's warehouse director. "Like anything else, our facility needs maintenance and upkeep. It was perfect timing that they reached out when they did."
Many Plainville residents and business offer the food pantry their time and money, but the organization has still been dealing with large revenue losses because of the difficult economy. With the constant struggle to keep the shelves stocked for those in need, issues like maintenance can fall to the wayside.
"They have so little money to work with, so they depend on some volunteer work," Bacon said.

HBO's 'True Detective': Matthew McConaughey-Woody Harrelson Drama Files Five Creepy New Teasers
FX's 'American Horror Story: Coven' may have the market cornered on unsettling Louisiana-style drama, but HBO's star-studded 2014 drama 'True Detective' may yet give the 'Coven' a run for its money. The new Woody Harrelson-Matthew McConaughey crime drama directed by Cary Fukunaga has released five brand-new teasers from the series, each as moody and dark as the ones that precede it.
'True Detective' follows investigators Rust Cohle (McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Harrelson), whose lives intertwine during a 17-year hunt for a Louisiana serial killer. Their investigation of a gruesome 1995 murder cuts through testimony from the detectives in 2012, after the case re-opens. The eight-episode series also stars Kevin Dunn ('Veep'), Michelle Monaghan ('Open'), Alexandra Daddario ('Percy Jackson') and Elizabeth Reaser ('Twilight').
The brief teasers don't offer very much in the way of story but all the same establish a dark and unsettling mood with a more grounded sense of dread than most series we've seen before. And like 'American Horror Story,' each new season of the drama will focus on new characters and a new central mystery, though likely with an all-new cast rather than return McConaughey or Harrelson in new roles.
You can check out the full set of teasers for 'True Detective' above and below, and tell us in the comments if you'll tune in for the January 2014 premiere!

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far-right National Front, blamed the European Union for declaring a new Cold War on Russia that would hurt all concerned, Russian media reported on Saturday as she paid an official visit to Moscow.
Europe-Russia relations are at their lowest ebb in decades after President Vladimir Putin's annexation of Crimea prompted the EU to impose sanctions on dozens of prominent Russian officials and lawmakers.
However Le Pen, along with other Eurosceptic leaders of the far left and nationalist right, believe the original fault lies with Brussels for offering closer ties with Ukraine, a move Russia opposes.
"I am surprised a Cold War on Russia has been declared in the European Union," French National Front leader Le Pen said at a meeting with Sergei Naryshkin, speaker of the Russian parliament's lower house.
"It's not in line with traditional, friendly relations nor with the economic interests of our country or EU countries and harms future relations," Russian news agency Interfax quoted her as saying in its Russian-language service.
Her comments echo those of Austrian far-right leader Heinz-Christian Strache who has openly sided with Putin, condemning the EU sanctions as a farce. Le Pen's Dutch political partner Geert Wilders has also said the EU made the first mistake.
The way Europe has handled the crisis over Ukraine could become an issue in the European Parliament elections in May. Opinion polls suggest right-wing nationalist parties will perform well. French polls show the National Front emerging as the leading French party in the European elections.
At the meeting with Le Pen, Naryshkin, who is one of the officials hit by the EU's asset freezes and travel bans, stressed the importance of Russia's ties with France, but said relations had been strained by "Russophobic, anti-Russia campaigns" instigated by several European countries.
The United States and the EU, worried that Putin could seek to take control of parts of eastern and southern Ukraine, have warned they could impose broader sanctions affecting entire sectors of Russia's economy if he escalates the crisis.
Emboldened by the Kremlin's annexation of Crimea, pro-Russian groups in Ukraine's east have occupied public buildings in three cities, a move Kiev officials say Russian forces may use as a pretext to cross the border to protect the activists, though Moscow denies this.
Le Pen, a tough-talking former lawyer, said Ukraine's eastern regions should be allowed to choose greater independence from Kiev.
"The idea of federalism would give regions the chance of broad autonomy, to determine their destiny independently," Interfax quoted her as saying.

A man who was a fitness fanatic was apparently crushed to death by weight training equipment as he worked out in his garage, the Argus in Brighton, England, is reporting.
His landlord, Oliver Steer, found the body of Chris Bailey, who recently had bought the work-out bench to save money on gym fees.
(Steer) said: "I found him on the bench with the bar across his chest. "I tried to wake him but I knew he was dead.
"I had to try and lift the weight off him which wasn't easy because it was so heavy.
… "Police told me he must have been dead for at least five hours when I found him.
"I don't think he had gone to bed. He was still wearing the same clothes."
Police told the Argus the death was being treated as "unexplained" until after an autopsy. They saw no evidence of foul play.

Rick Santorum has hit double digits in New Hampshire and is the only candidate in the field to show gains for four consecutive days, according to the latest Suffolk University/7News two-day tracking poll of likely Granite State voters in the Republican presidential primary.
Mitt Romney still holds a strong lead with 40 percent, followed by Ron Paul (17 percent). Santorum, who came within a few votes of winning the Iowa caucus, has jumped from 3 percent just before the Iowa vote to 11 percent in the latest two-day New Hampshire tracking poll.
Newt Gingrich (9 percent) is currently in fourth place followed by Jon Huntsman (8 percent) and Rick Perry (1 percent), while 15 percent were undecided.
"Rick Santorum is the only Republican candidate moving up in New Hampshire," said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston. "He has cleared the Gingrich and Huntsman hurdles for third place and is only 6 points away from second place. Watch out Ron Paul."
Santorum's growth has occurred by securing and consolidating factions of the right-leaning electorate. He has now vaulted into second place, passing Paul among registered Republicans, tea party supporters, and self-identified conservatives.
The Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston will release results of two-day tracking polls every day leading up to the New Hampshire presidential primary on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2012.
The statewide survey includes two nights of 250 likely respondents for a two-day tracking total of 500 likely voters in New Hampshire's Republican presidential primary. This track was conducted Jan. 4 and Jan. 5 using live telephone interviews with landline and cell phone users. The margin of error is +/-4.4 percent at a 95 percent level of confidence. Marginals and full cross-tabulation data will be posted Friday, Jan. 6, 2012, on the Suffolk University Political Research Center website. For more information, contact David Paleologos at 781-290-9310. Paleologos is on site at the Manchester, N.H., media center located in the lobby of the Radisson Hotel, 700 Elm Street, Manchester through Jan. 10.

Here's another subplot in the build-up to what should be a free-for-all in the AL East this summer:
Almost every team in the division can play the nobody-believed-in-us card.
With the exception of maybe the Blue Jays, who generated the most offseason hype this winter, the teams in baseball's deepest division might all enter the season with a chip on their shoulder.
Case in point: Yankees first baseman (and Mount St. Joe alum) Mark Teixeira suggesting that his $200 million team is embracing an underdog role this season.
"I really feel good about our team this year," Teixeira told the New York Daily News. "It's actually fun when everyone else counts you out because it kind f makes guys want it a little bit more. Every year we want it, but this year especially, it's going to be even more of a challenge. I think that's going to make it more exciting as the year goes on."
Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz was also quoted using the "U" word this week.
"It's better to be the underdog," he told the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo, who opened said story referring to the Sox's spring home as "Camp Low Expectations."
Maybe the usual heavyweights up north aren't so far off with thinking they're being overlooked. In our Google+ Hangout this week on Orioles Insider, Peter Schmuck talked about how he feels the Orioles and Rays will ultimately battle for the AL East title.
My take is that all five teams could finish in any of the five spots and it wouldn't be a shocking development.
What do you guys think? Are there any underdogs in the AL East this year?
Now, on to this week's team-by-team roundups:
New York Yankees
It's hard to decide which team to put this under, but the discussion of whether Kevin Youkilis is truly a Yankee or Red Sox continues to generate headlines. (Silly me for thinking it was something that would just clog the sports talk radio jabber in those cities.)
Those things tend to get sorted out when the paychecks from the new team start showing up.
In other Youkilis news, it seems that the Greek God of Walks is dumping 'the best stance ever.' (Julio Franco might have something to say about that distinction, anyway.)
And, speaking of paychecks, the Robinson Cano contract extension watch is officially on.
Finally, while Yogi Berra isn't helping out at camp this season, fellow former Yankee catcher Jorge Posada is filling that void.
Boston Red Sox
If you thought the Red Sox had cleaned house and eliminated all of their problem-causing egos, you would be mistaken.
Reliever Alfredo Aceves delivered his latest example of petulance when he started lobbing up Little League-esque pitches during a round of live batting practice this week.
Much like Posada, Jason Varitek is in his former team's camp, working as a special assistant. The former catcher and captain is apparently learning quite a bit from the experience.
Also, the Sox made a trade this week, acquiring first baseman-outfielder Mike Carp from the Mariners for a player to be named later or cash.
And ESPN Boston's Gordon Edes profiles new Red Sox pitching coach Juan Nieves, who threw a no-hitter in Baltimore in April of 1987 while a member of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Toronto Blue Jays
John Lott of the National Post points out that the Jays didn't just trade for R.A. Dickey this summer – they also snagged a handful of catchers with experience working with the knuckleballer. Either Josh Thole or Henry Blanco – whoever wins the backup role behind J.P. Arencibia – is likely to become Dickey's personal backstop.
Aside from that, the only other notable competition in Toronto's camp is for the starting second baseman job, which will go to either Emilio Bonifacio or Maicer Izturis. (Bonifacio's versatility should lead to both will get plenty of time.)
Also, former Orioles pitching prospect Adam Loewen, now a minor league outfielder with the Jays, is relishing his Team Canada role at the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
Tampa Bay Rays
AL Cy Young Award winner David Price tossed a log into the fire this week, saying he wouldn't ever sign with the Yankees because of their no-beard policy. He backtracked a bit the next day, calling them "probably the best organization in all of sports."
James Loney's low-key personality didn't make him a particularly popular player in Los Angeles or Boston – and neither did the fact that he's a first baseman with very little power. But the Rays say they want their free-agent acquisition to just be himself, a strong defender and gap hitter.
There's also some baby news in Port Charlotte, as star third baseman Evan Longoria's girlfriend Jaime Edmondson gave birth to their first child on Wednesday night.
That's it for this week's links. Click over to the blog for all the updates from the Orioles' camp down in Sarasota.

I bought a Singer bobbin threader at WalMart the other day. It works by battery or electric. What a great idea! The only problem is that my machines won't sew when I use a bobbin threaded with it. Tried it on both my FWs and my 201.
Does anyone else have a bobbin threader and am I just doing something wrong when I thread the bobbins?

"What do women want?" Sigmund Freud once famously asked. Aretha Franklin answered him just as famously: "R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me!"
If you haven't been keeping up with the current online eruption surrounding Elevatorgate — and I suspect most of you have at least heard about it, as Skepchick and Pharyngula are just slightly more widely read than our little blog — I will just direct you to those sites for the full-immersion experience. But to recap, here are the main bullet points…
Rebecca Watson of Skepchick fame attends a conference overseas. Gets hit on by clueless doof in the hotel elevator at 4 AM, brushes him off. Mentions the incident in her talk, as well as online, saying, in effect, "Hey guys, don't do stuff like that, thanks."
This being the Internet, the situation Escalates into full-on web drama. Loser guys with same sense of clueless entitlement blow Rebecca's reaction all out of proportion, make her out to be stick-up-the-ass prude who pilloried some poor Nice Guy for the ghastly crime of asking her for coffee. Larger group of Rebecca defenders jump in, including PZ, Jen at Blag Hag, and many others, chiding the guys for not getting it and pointing to a very real problem of acculturated sexism that infects the skeptical/atheist community just as it does the wide world.
Then, out of the blue, Rebecca gets a "Methinks the lady doth protest too much" note from no less a luminary than Richard Dawkins, the boneheadedness of which stupefies everyone (except, of course, the clueless doof brigade). Short version: in a world in which women are undergoing such horrors as genital mutilation and death by stoning, any chick who has nothing more to complain about than an unwelcome pass in an elevator is clearly a petulant whiner. Seriously.
Understandably incensed — I mean, way to miss the point, Prof! — Rebecca publicly chastises and disowns Dawkins. And now, it appears the godless Internet is splitting into Team Rebecca and Team Richard camps.
From such pebbles do avalanches begin.
I will make my position so clear even a gerbil with dyslexia should be able to get it, because this is the Internet, and it appears one's words can be wildly misunderstood and misrepresented here. (Who knew?) In six words: Dawkins is wrong, Rebecca is right. Dawkins' point — which is fundamentally no different than telling atheists that in a world where the godless are burned at the stake, we're being kind of petty to complain about "little" things like God in the Pledge or creationism in the classroom — is simply wrong. He's as wrong as a wrong thing with the word wrong written on it by someone who can't spell.
Now, TAM9 is coming up, and I am concerned that the backwash from all this is going to cast an ugly pall over a convention that ought to be the community's annual high point. It isn't that Rebecca and her supporters (hello, I am one) aren't justified in their anger. They are. But…
The whole "throwing Dawkins under the bus" thing is, I think, unproductive. We are rationalists. We pride ourselves on our capacity for reason, which we boast of having more of than anyone else. So what do we do about this? Do we employ our reason, and turn this event into the teachable moment it needs to be? After all, Dawkins wrote TGD, in his words, in the interest of "raising consciousness." Clearly, acculturated sexism is a matter about which Dawkins desperately needs his consciousness raised. Will we give him the chance to do this? After all, the man's achievements over the last decade in the service of promoting atheism and reason — culminating in both topics today being suitable for bestselling books, rather than shameful topics you just cannot mention in polite society — are considerable, and the debt atheists worldwide owe him is incalculable. I am simply acknowledging a fact, not putting the man on a pedestal or anything. He's done a lot, and that deserves recognition.
So how do we pay him back for this? Do we say, "You helped us gain stature and credibility. Now you apparently need our help, getting over some ideas of privilege you seem to have a problem with. Here. This is why you are wrong. Please think about these things and man up to your mistake." This, is seems to me, is the path of rationality.
Or, do we abandon rationality, give ourselves over to emotion, anger and ego, and circle the wagons around the sense of righteousness gained from believing that we've taken the right side of a split? (Note: I do not accuse Rebecca of this, as she's responding to a personal insult and has every right to respond as she chooses. But I think such a thing would be the case if skeptics en masse did so.) I can think of nothing that would disappoint me more than to witness the drama of a mass walkout of Dawkins' speech at TAM. I would understand it, but I'd wish a path had been taken towards allowing this conflict to be something the godless community saw as an opportunity for education and problem solving, rather than digging in trenches.
Attitudes of sexism and male entitlement do exist among those of us who consider ourselves rationalists. You should see some of the fratboy bullshit that pops up in the chat room when either Jen or Tracie are on the show. It's like, WTF? Who are you people?
I know that I myself had to unlearn a lot of my own acculturation, and I am equally sure I'd get a "Needs Improvement" grade on my efforts even today. But I know that when I was younger, less secure and a bit more arrogant, I reacted poorly to rejection in ways that I can only now, years later, understand were wrong and, yeah, pretty damned creepy. I had to outgrow feeling sexually entitled, just like I had to outgrow homophobia. My perceived loneliness and need to dip my wick was not, I had to learn, any woman's problem to solve. There is so much about my 20-24 year old self that embarrasses me to remember.
But I learned, and am still learning, and I want those who still need to learn — even if they are 70-year-old celebrity scientists — to be able to do so. It's harder to change your attitudes as you get older, as you get set in your ways. But I think it can still be done.
For the most part, I do see an effort to correct and educate Dawkins has been made. Dawkins has asked to be led to understanding of where he is wrong, even if, as far as I could tell, he may still not yet get it.
What I want to happen out of this is consciousness-raising. Will TAM9 be the event that helps that occur, or that divides us further? I guess we will see.

WAYNESBURG, Pa. - A woman who appeared to not have any teeth in surveillance photos from a western Pennsylvania bank robbery last month has confessed, apologized and told police she planned the heist because she needed the money for dentures.
Evelyn Marie Fuller, 49, of Carmichaels, on Wednesday remained in the Greene County Jail unable to post bond on bank robbery and other charges filed Tuesday by police in Waynesburg, where she allegedly robbed the First National Bank on Jan. 20.
Arresting Officer Tom Ankrom said Fuller explained her motives when she confessed to the crime.
"During her confession, she stated she wanted to use the money to pay for dentures she was unable to get through welfare until next year," Ankrom said.
Police distributed a surveillance photo of the robber, who appeared to be toothless, and an unnamed witness came to police and told them he had loaned Fuller the coat the suspect was seen wearing in the picture. The man told police Fuller returned the coat because the zipper didn't work, and police said it matched one the robber's wearing in the picture.
At her arraignment Tuesday, Fuller told a district judge she has mental health problems and lives on disability benefits, the Observer-Reporter of Washington, Pa. said Wednesday.
After her arraignment, Fuller told a reporter, "I'm very sorry for what I did and I know God is going to punish me for it," before explaining that her pastor told her to tell the truth about what she did.

They were a horrible bus to drive compared to their 0405 bigger brothers. Coupled to an auto transmission, upon taking your foot off the brake at the lights, they would just sit there until they were flogged to get moving. This is, of course, under typical Busways operating conditions. As a country school bus they are probably not too bad a bus.

The new open-ended QE will surely lead to a lot of controversy. For the time being, however, the folks endorsing NGP targeting look like winning the game for the time being. Certainly, with such an aggressive move, there will be endless talks about hyperinflation or the destruction of the value of the US dollar, which we certainly do not agree with.
But the press conference did contain a rather disturbing piece of information. The press conference of Ben Bernanke contained something which is probably the closest we can get where a central banker almost more or less said that bubble is good for the economy.
This came from the Q&A session, with Reuter's Pedro da Costa asking about the transmission mechanism. Cullen Roche has the summary of Ben Bernanke's answer (or watch that bit here, at 17:17):
"The tools we have involve effecting financial asset prices. Those are the tools of monetary policy. There are a number of different channels. Mortgage rates, other interest rates, corporate bond rates. Also the prices of various assets. For example, the prices of homes. To the extent that the prices of homes begin to rise, consumers will feel wealthier, they'll begin to feel more disposed to spend. If home prices are rising they may feel more may be more willing to buy home because they think they'll make a better return on that purchase. So house prices is one vehicle. Stock prices - many people own stocks directly or indirectly. The issue here is whether improving asset prices will make people more willing to spend. One of the main concerns that firms have is that there is not enough demand… if people feel their financial position is better… they'll be more likely to spend, and that's going to provide the demand firms need in order to be willing to hire and to invest "
Which is almost saying that the policy which in part contributed to the last bubble is now going to help the economy. We are not sure when was the last time when central bankers explicitly suggest that bubble is good, more or less.

According to Nielsen's fast national ratings, FXX in its first day of operation averaged 68,000 total viewers, of which 54,000, or 79 percent, were members of the adults 18-49 demo. The network also delivered 39,000 viewers in the target demo (adults 18-34), more than six times what Fox Soccer drew in September 2012. Prime-time deliveries were similarly proportioned, as FXX averaged 81,000 viewers, 70,000 adults 18-49 and 48,000 adults 18-34. The latter score was nearly 10 times what FSC scared up a year ago. While the preliminary results were promising and the ratings will only go up once the original series arrive, for the new inhabitant of FSC's real estate, there's quite literally nowhere to go but up. Per Nielsen, FSC a year ago finished dead last among total viewers in prime (30,000) and was 92nd in total day (33,000). Designed to skew younger than the 21st Century Fox powerhouse FX, the new network is drawing heavily on its sibling's comedy reserves. FXX's flagship show is the veteran comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which joins fellow originals The League and Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell. Going forward, FXX will also carry a number of syndicated comedies (and even a drama or two), including Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks, Mike & Molly, How I Met Your Mother, and Parks and Recreation. Also in the wings is the Danny McBride-produced animated series Chozen, the first show to be expressly created for FXX. The entire original lineup premieres on Wednesday, Sept. 4, starting at 10 p.m., when FXX rolls out the season premieres of Sunny, The League and Totally Biased. It remains to be seen how well the series will retain their ratings season over season against their runs on FX, but FX Networks is committed to the plan, which also involves moving a plurality of its film library over to FXM, formerly the Fox Movie Channel. FX is essentially making a move to expand an HBO-style slate across three linear, ad-supported networks, with original content airing in prime time and both movies and original series available on an authenticated app called FXNOW. The app will also retain an exclusive window on streaming movies, so if you want to watch, say, Thor during FX's window, you'll have to tune in to FXNOW, rather than Netflix. FXX is the second 21st Century Fox network to launch in the last two weeks. The entertainment channel follows on the heels of the August 17 premiere of Fox Sports 1.

After the coffee. Before digging out the umbrella and raincoat.
The Skinny: I've lived in Los Angeles on and off for more than 12 years and I'm still amazed that a little rain is the lead story on the news and brings traffic to a grinding halt. Well, if it stops the hundreds of morons I see texting and driving every day, maybe it's not so bad. Thursday's headlines include a preview of Sony's investor day and an analysis of ABC's reaction to Jimmy Kimmel's mess with China.
Daily Dose: Fox Japan, a TV channel in Japan owned by Fox (that should have been self-explanatory but just in case) wants to set a new Guinness World Record for "the longest uninterrupted transmission of a TV series" and will air 234 episodes of "NCIS" from Dec. 29 to January 8. Alas, I can't tell you who holds the old record. I just assume it was TNT with "Law & Order" reruns.
Tough day. Sony is holding an investor conference today on its lot in Culver City. Typically, that's when investors and analysts come hear a company talk about how great it is and why people should buy stock. But Sony is going through tough times and has big cuts planned and has been attacked by investor Daniel Loeb. While Sony's TV unit has a good track record, its movie unit had a tough summer. A preview of the meeting from the Los Angeles Times.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
So sad about us. Media mogul Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng Murdoch finalized their divorce Wednesday in a New York courtroom. The brief hearing gave media reporters a chance to put on a different hat and try to find ways to describe the stylish outfit worn by Deng and her expensive purse. At least no punches or pies were thrown. Details from the New York Times and Los Angeles Times.
Overreaction? Last month, ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel ran a bit in which a little kid suggested the U.S. kill everyone in China to fix our economy. Naturally, this didn't go over too well in China and Kimmel apologized. Then the bit was scrubbed as best as Disney could in the Internet era and apologized again. But is Disney overdoing it in their reaction, which is driven by protecting their corporate interests in China? The Hollywood Reporter offers some analysis.
A change is gonna come. Media mogul Barry Diller is again out making the case for Aereo, the controversial start-up company that transmits local broadcast signals via the Internet. On Wednesday, Diller said he could see Aereo eventually having 35% of all U.S. TV homes subscribing to it assuming the service survives all the legal challenges against it from big media. Diller also thinks the way TV channels are sold -- in bundles of channels -- will also end soon. More on Diller's thoughts from Bloomberg.
Crazy talk. Outspoken writer Harlan Ellison, whose screenwriting credits include 1966's "The Oscar," lets loose in Variety about why he wants all awards shows to die. I'm sure there will be a few million people out there nodding their heads in agreement.
Inside the Los Angeles Times: The real Philomena Lee talks about the search for her son and the movie it has inspired. Tribune Co., parent of the Los Angeles Times, is cutting 700 jobs from its publishing operations as part of a restructuring.

Bode Miller was back on the World Cup circuit and the cameras were flashing when the American showed up at a sponsor's event to preview the Olympic ski season.
Miller returned after a year off to recover from knee surgery. He'll compete Sunday in the World Cup giant slalom on Rettenbach glacier.
On Thursday, he left the stage and moved to the back of the room to greet his wife, pro volleyball player Morgan Miller, and attend to his baby boy.
"There's a lot to World Cup and having your most important people around you is something that has always been important to me," Miller said. "Before, I had Jake (Serino, a childhood friend) and sometimes family and my Uncle Mike has been a coach.
"But now I have my own family over here, and it's just the logical sort of step. I feel really, really good about it."
Miller also feels good because the U.S. Ski Team has surrounded him with some familiar faces on its coaching staff as the two-time overall World Cup winner and Olympic combined champion heads into the new season with his left knee fully healed.
The staff is led by Miller's good friend Forest Carey and his uncle Mike Kenney, who has rejoined the team after a yearlong sabbatical.
"They're just good people to have around for the team, too. It obviously benefits me, but for everybody there's a benefit," Miller said. "Those guys are really knowledgeable, they love the sport and they've seen success at the highest level."
Carey and Kenney were coaches on Miller's breakaway personal team when he won his second overall title in 2008.
"It's designed to keep Bode inspired and also to keep him accountable," U.S. men's head coach Sasha Rearick said. "Both of those guys do an amazing job."
Miller's former roommate on the circuit, Erik Schlopy, is an assistant coach on the technical team, and Miller noted a transformation in experience among the staff.
"I can't speak highly enough of how far the team has come in the last 17 years since I first made the team," Miller said. "There's been times where I've been pretty down, and it's been a fun process to be a part of."
Miller will compete in his fifth Olympics in Sochi in February.
"I've been to four (Olympics) before and I don't think one more is going to do much to change anything at this point," Miller said. "I came back because I had the chance to. ... I'm doing it because I believe I can do it."
The 36-year-old Miller, whose young son and 5-year-old daughter are from previous relationships, recently celebrated his one-year wedding anniversary with Morgan. His time off also allowed him to drop 20 pounds during rehab.
All the changes helped Miller avoid thinking about retiring.
"I'm in a much more healthy place in general," he said. "Just motivation-wise, the balance in the rest of my life — my fitness, my health, my body. Those are all things that make you want to retire. Right now all of those things are much better than they've been in the last 10 years. That's the biggest factor for me."
As Miller spoke, scores of European journalists stuck microphones in his face, at one point nearly toppling a nearby table. But Miller, who would once run from such a scene, kept his composure.
"You get better at every part of this," he said. "(The media attention) doesn't bother me as much as it used to. I wouldn't say it's your skin getting thicker, just maturity does different things to you."

Yes. Absolutely, 100%, yes. This may be even more true of a statement for sellers than buyers. Today's marketplace for real estate is online. 9 out of every 10 buyers start their home search online. And the best way to get your house online is to hire a professional real estate agent. They will have access to the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which syndicates your house everywhere online. Just posting your house for sale on Craigslist isn't enough these days. Getting the maximum online exposure for your house will give you the best chance of bringing in an acceptable offer. Not to mention all of the other services that your agent will help coordinate for you, like setting and scheduling showings (so you don't have to publish your personal phone number online), and negotiating the contract and terms.
The home selling process actually starts some time before your house hits the market. You'll want to first de-clutter your house, perhaps include a bit of staging, and basically just try to view your home through the buyer's eyes. You'll also want to make any crucial repairs to the home; things like structural or safety issues will be sure to come up in the buyer's inspection, so it's better to just fix those items now rather than later. Then, once you're ready to put your house on the market, your agent will prepare a myriad of marketing materials for your home. Then comes the tough part -- showings. Your agent will notify you when prospective buyers want to look at your house. You'll then have to plan to be away from the house so that the buyers (along with their agent) will look at the house. This can be a frustrating part of selling, as sometimes others' schedules don't coincide with yours, and you'll have to weigh the choice of re-arranging your schedule, or declining a potential buyer access to the home. Once you have a buyer wanting to submit an offer on your house, you'll choose to either accept, counter, or reject the offer. After reaching an agreed contract, you'll proceed into the contingency phase of the contract. The buyer may indicate in their offer to include an inspection and/or appraisal of the home; and if outcomes of those contingencies are not satisfactory to the buyer, you may re-negotiate or terminate the contract. Assuming all goes well, the buyer may have a few other contingencies, such as obtaining a suitable loan, homeowner's insurance, and more, and then you will proceed to closing.
There are a variety of costs to expect when selling your house. Firstly, if you hire a real estate agent for the transaction, you can expect to pay a commission fee. Commissions will vary, but are usually a minimal percentage of the purchase price. You can also expect to pay certain costs at the closing. Things like filing fees, recording fees, the title company's fees, any overdue utility or HOA payments, will all be due upon closing. You can talk to you agent, preparing a Sellers Net Proceeds Worksheet, to estimate fees you will have to pay, and how much you will take home from the sale.
The real estate market does have a seasonal factor to it -- usually seeing higher number of sales during the summer months than the winter months. However, there is also a bit of a niche market for buyers during the slower winter months. Typically, buyers looking to purchase in the slower months tend to be more serious buyers, which could also be to your advantage. One caveat if you plan to sell your house in the winter months -- be sure to take some great exterior photos of your house during the summer months, when the foliage is lush and green. Those photos can help greatly market your house over ones with snow and/or dead foliage in them.
This is a job best left for the pro's. Your agent can pull records of recently sold properties similar to yours and prepare a Comparable Market Analysis (CMA), which outlines what other similar houses like yours have recently sold for (and also those that did not sell) so that you can agree upon a thoroughly researched asking price.
Oh, Zillow. That fickle friend of ours. Zillow's "Zestimate" (and any other website's home worth estimations, for that fact) is just what it says it is -- an estimate. Zillow's algorithms, while very clever, are limited in the factors they can consider when pricing a home. Zillow does not have full access to all records, like a real estate agent would. In fact, Zillow has even reported that their Zestimate can be off as much as 20% in roughly 85% of the homes listed on Zillow nationally.
A lot of different things could happen when you overprice your house. We've outlined them in a separate article for you, here.
The most basic features of your house will have the most impact on pricing. Things like, the square footage, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, garage spaces, and any additional room spaces, will be the biggest factors. There are some smaller details that will help amp up the price of your house, such as new paint and carpet/flooring. Other more expensive upgrades, such as room remodels or additions, may not get you the most bang for your buck. A great website to use as a reference, if you're thinking of upgrading a few items, is the Cost Vs. Value site. This site tracks the popularity, and ROI of common home upgrade projects, so you can find projects that will add value to your house.
On certain items, yes. Items that compromise the structural or safety of the house should be attempted to be repaired prior to selling. It's likely that a buyer's inspection would reveal such items anyways, which could greatly change the terms of the contract. But don't feel like you have to fix EVERY flaw with the house. Buyers have a certain level of understanding that the house will likely gain a little wear and tear over the years.
Yes. If you've had a basement flood, or a leaky roof, you should fill out a Seller's Property Disclosure and disclose these facts up front. Again, it's likely that a buyer will find out any major faults of the house during an inspection anyway, but in the state of Colorado, sellers must disclose known defects. Additionally, if your agent knows about these defects, he or she is required by law to disclose such facts to buyers, additionally. Save everyone the trouble and just disclose known facts up front.
No. You are allowed to choose any offer that is submitted for consideration. Sometimes, choosing a lower-priced offer could even be in your best interest if there are fewer contingencies included in that offer.
Soon, hopefully, if you price it right. Pricing it right is the first step to getting your house sold quicker, but there are other factors to consider. Most real estate markets track an average days on market (DOM) -- which is a stat that is compiled from all houses in a region (sometimes even in a particular price range), averaged out amongst the number of days it takes for each house to sell. In desirable markets, the DOM tends to be less. In less desirable or uncommon markets, it tends to be higher. Be sure to have an expectation of what the local market's average DOM is likely to be when you prep your house to sell.

Loreto Kirribilli
HSC year: 2012, ARTEXPRESS year: 2013
Expressive form: Documented forms
My artwork explores communication and miscommunication, through language and across cultures. My intent was to emphasise the importance of language in our contemporary society both in shaping our identity and in building networks globally through interaction with others. Through the representation of language in all of its forms, I hoped to envelop and confront my audience, inviting them to question the ability of language to enhance communication, or paradoxically initiate miscommunication. Using the extended metaphor of the biblical story 'The Tower of Babel', I worked across the mediums of photography and film, resulting in a documented form.

Pierre Cardin
Daily Forecast for July 19th 2019
" My name is more important than myself."
Pierre Cardin is an Italian-born French fashion designer, known for his avant-garde style and his Space Age designs of geometric shapes and motifs, often ignoring the female form and advancing into experimental, and not always practical unisex fashions.
He was born on Sunday July 2nd 1922, in San Biagio di Callalta, Italy.
Pierre Cardin is more sensitive than usual on July 19th 2019. He can turn this state of his into a productive day by focusing on relationships in work and personal life. Counseling others presents an opportunity to help, and may even bring admiration by someone.
Romance is strong, but Pierre must control his tendency to lie today.
While studying the color and flavor of the day, it is a good practice to keep in mind the greater meaning of July and the master plan of 2019 in Pierre's life.
You and Pierre
About Pierre's Numerological Forecast & Personal Day Cycle
Just as Pierre Cardin evolves through a nine-year cycle and experiences the nine-month cycle, he is also subjected to nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year and even Personal Month cycles. The Personal Day cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles do. The numbers within the daily cycles have a similar impact on Pierre to the yearly and monthly cycles - though less pronounced.

International orders may take between 2 and 12 weeks for delivery, depending on how the item moves through the customs inspection process. Marking an international order as a gift will not change the fact that fees may be due (depending on the laws in your country), but it may cause your package to be delayed.

Newt Gingrich's messy private life didn't stop him from winning the support of born-again and evangelical Christians in South Carolina.
By a wide margin.
Nearly-two thirds of South Carolina GOP primary voters today said they were born again or evangelical, and Gingrich led Mitt Romney among these voters, 42 percent to 22 percent, according to exit polls.
Romney led among Christians who said they were not evangelical or born again. He also led among the minority of GOP voters who said religious beliefs mattered "not much" or "not at all."
Among voters who said that a candidate's religious views mattered a "great deal" or "somewhat" to them, Gingrich, a Catholic convert, led with 46 percent. Rick Santorum, also a Catholic, received 31 percent. Ron Paul, a Baptist, took 16 percent. And Romney, a Mormon, took just 9 percent of these voters.
Gingrich had trouble with only one group of voters. Voters who want a candidate with strong moral character (18 percent of South Carolina's voters) favored Santorum, with 43 percent, over Gingrich.

Change the Size of a Slice
Quick question:
I imagine many of you knew the answer to my question just after looking at the title of my topic, but here it is:
Is it possible to increase the size of a FreeBSD slice? It seems to me the obvious answer should be yes, but I have not really found any way to do it. The closest I got was when I was tinkering around with parts of fdisk I have never used (Not from sysinstall), but it appeared I was editing nothing more than configuration files. Either way, I have not found a definitive answer saying that it IS or is NOT possible, so I would like to know what the case is.
Please note that I do mean slice and not partition, as is described in the FreeBSD handbook:
back it up
resize it in fdisk
modify the label in disklabel/bsdlabel
growfs the file systems as necessary.
Note, I ain't never done it and don't plan on doing it anytime this century ^_^.
My Journal
Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
fdisk can be used to resize slices. (actually it is same as creating new slice table)
bsdlabel can be used to resize bsd labels, and growfs can be used than to "fix" already presented file systems on resized label (so you do not need to backup data and recreate fs with newfs).
Beware that growfs is used only for labels with increased size, labels with decreased size are broken already - possibility of losing data is highly present - which can be fixed only with newfs.
If you plan to increase slice over some other one, you must backup (at least) data on slice which is going to be decreased in size. After first slice get increased in size, use "bsdlabel -e" to edit labels.
When editing labels, you should only increase last label size(keeping all offsets same) and use growfs only on that one (last label) - there is no utility that change label offset and at same time keep/change its size.
Of course you can edit labels as you like but I'm 100% sure that decreased labels can be malfunctioning (I never tried this) and increased labels will semi work (some files will not be accessible) until growfs is used on that label(or until newfs recreate fs - loosing any previous data).
So answer is something like no/yes,if you care for your data, otherwise anwser is always yes .
Depends if you are interested in not recreating fs(/not using backup) on increased last label of increased slice. Solution for decreased slice(with labels) should always be backup. Of course if you increase slice and do not edit table of labels on that slice, nothing will got wrong with (that)slice - but you will lost usefull disk space.
I hope that it's not so complicated to understand what I written. (if you use only one label it becomes very simple)
Whatever you do, always make backup.

Thanks very much, both of you.
I have only one slice, so I intend to increase the size of that slice into empty disk space, so I am not increasing it into space that is all ready occupied by another slice. That simplifies the process a lot. Also, within that single slice I have three partitions/labels: boot (USF2), swap, and a very large ZFS that contians all tmp, usr, and var files. I intend to increase the ZFS partition into the space opened up once the slice is increased by fdisk.
I think I understand this to mean I would need to:
1. Resize the label with fdisk
2. Resize BSDlabel containing the ZFS filesystem with bsdlabel
3. Resize/"fix" the ZFS filesystem within the resized label with growfs
(Ah! I see this is the same list that TerryP gave!)
I think this all makes sense now.
i don't know for sure but i think that won't do.
how about:
1. Resize the slice using 'fdisk'
2. run 'bsdlabel -e' and then:
3. change the 'c' partition to the new size.
4. add a new partition to use up the extra space
5. add this new partition to the zfs pool (zpool add).
What I did last time is took out the disk and put it in another system. Doesnt sound an elegant solution really, then I realize I could do it with the FreeBSD CD but havent had a chance to try it out
The power of plain text? It can control an entire OS
Yes, I think I would have to do this in single user mode. That should make the root partition no longer a problem because the system can do its usual boot without the root partition. Because ZFS does not have boot support yet, the only way around that is to keep a UFS partition with all of the needed information to do a successful boot without the ZFS partition.
I might end up doing this using a FreeBSD install disk anyway because I have empty space in front of my root partition and behind my ZFS partition. I have no desire to enlarge the root partition, so I will have to copy the partition and then recreate it at the front of the disk. Then I will have to delete and recreate the swap partition, and then I would be able to enlarge the ZFS partition both to the right and to the left of the disk.
ephemera, I think your method makes more sense when using ZFS, but I have some questions:
boot: ar0s2a
swap: ar0s2b
ZFS (Everything else): ar0s2d
Therefore, I suppose by the c partition you just mean the ZFS partition?
If I understand this correctly, after enlarging the ZFS partition, I would then create a new ZFS pool to fill the empty space within the enlarged parition. Then I could merge that new ZFS pool with the all ready existant one, which would leave me with a partition completely filled by the ZFS filesystem. Whew! I suppose that should work, but I wonder how I am going to tell ZFS the exact location within the partition to begin and end the new pool. I will have to look into some documentation on ZFS's tools.
> Therefore, I suppose by the c partition you just mean the ZFS partition?
the 'c' partition refers to the whole slice. if you don't have it then skip step 3.
