Yasiel Puig's bat flip nearly hits Miguel Montero, ump
Saying that Yasiel Puig has flair is like saying Jay Leno has chin.
Ever since he broke in to the major leagues, the 23-year-old has entertained with all kinds of on-and-off-the-field antics. He's overthrown cut-off men, animatedly flipped his bat after home runs, boisterously celebrated the feats of teammates and more. Much, much more.
On Saturday, Puig was, well, very much Puig when he earned a walk and employed an errant bat flip.
Vin Scully will take it from there.
"It's one thing to be a bat flipper," he said on the Los Angeles Dodgers broadcast. "Okay -- you hit a home run. But that's ridiculous. You almost hit both men on the head on ball four."
Indeed, Puig's lumber came flying downward near the heads of Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero and home plate umpire Bill Welke, who both had to duck for cover to avoid contact with the bat.

Samsung X820 review: Just for the record
Calendar is simple
The calendar is available in a monthly, a weekly and daily view. Inside this application you can store 4 types of information: name, note, place, and starting and end date and time. This way you can create an entire school timetable. The problem is that the phone repeats subjects every day and nothing can be done about it. Further on in the calendar you will also find an anniversary option that repeats every year, a simple note, and a planned task, which replaces the missing task organizer.
A monthly view of the calendar weekly view daily view with a list of events
The phone is able to save up to 100 notes of the same type, which is more than enough. Pitifully, designers have not reserved a bit of the standby screen for instant view of the events inside the respective selected day.
Internet & extras
Samsung X820 supports data transfers in GPRS and EDGE Class 10. Of course, the phone can also serve as a modem for connecting to other devices through a cable or via the wireless Bluetooth.
Bluetooth menu WAP browser main menu
No current mobile phone can do without Java these days. Samsung X820 is no exception of the rule. The phone offers two pre-installed games: the first one is a close relative of the famous Sokoban, where you have to use the rabbit to gather (in the right order) all carrots located in a labyrinth. In the second game you shoot penalties into a football gate. Additional games can be downloaded through WAP or via Bluetooth.
A list with pre-installed games penalties simple calculator
Further on the phone features a voice recorder which offers a recording duration limit option, which allows for inserting an audio record into a MMS or email. The maximum duration a voice record could reach is one hour.
Samsung X820's music player is nothing special in terms of graphics, but it can play music in the background, which is good news. Other functions worth mentioning are the calculator, the world time, the physical unit converter, the timer, and the stopwatch with mid-time measurer.
Three separate alarm clocks smart converter of physical units and measures image editor
The alarm clock of Samsung X820 offers three separate alarms, two of which can be set to repeat once or daily. The third one can be set as an alarm on working days only. The phone is equipped with an image editor, which is also worth our attention as it allows additional application of 9 effects, rotate pictures in all directions, and resize images so they can be attached to a MMS. Cropping is also available. Modified pictures can finally be saved under a new, different file name, while the name of the original image remains unchanged.
Just for the record
There is no doubt that extreme slimness will become the greatest advantage of the new Samsung X820. Let's also remind its brilliant display, its comfortable keypad, its significant memory capacity etc. Nevertheless, it is also necessary to point out that the price/features ratio leaves Samsung X820 somewhat behind the competitors with similar software load. The slimmest in the world lacks a memory card slot, for example. In other words, this new Korean dandy will hardly interest you if you insist on having a feature-packed mobile phone. Samsung X820 bets on sentiment instead on reason.

The Chairman of Arik Air, Joseph Arumemi-Ikhide, has said it is wrong to describe Nigerian airlines as weak, when the government is frustrating them.
Arumemi-Ikhide stated this on Wednesday at Arik Air headquarters in Lagos, at a meeting between the airline and the government of Cote D'Ivoire, which planned to partner the Nigerian carrier to expand its operations in Africa.
He said there were things government must do to enhance the operations of the local operators and it was expected that government should carry out these responsibilities to reposition the airlines to operate profitably and successfully.
The Arik Air chairman gave an example of the waiver on imported aircraft and spares, which government announced recently saying that it was yet to be enforced and urged the Nigerian Customs Service to enforce the new policy.
Arumemi-Ikhide also noted that the aircraft in the airline's fleet was underutilised because in many airports in the country there is no airfield lighting; so airlines are forced to terminate their operations by 6.00 pm even when passengers are yearning to be taken to these destinations.
Arumemi Ikhide described the visit of officials of Cote d ' Ivoire as positive, which confirms the stride the airline is making in the continent, adding that the airline is a good model for other African carriers to emulate and called on government to continue to support local operators.
Speaking at the event, the officials of Air Cote D ' Ivoire , the new carrier in the French speaking West African country, said they visited Arik Air to seek ways of exploring mutual partnership between the two carriers to resolve the problem intra Africa connections.
The officials led by General Coulibaly Abdoulaye, who is chairman of the Air Cote D'Ivoire explained that the visit to Arik Air has afforded them the opportunity to learn how to run a service driven airline, which would become a model in Africa.
He explained that the partnership would also equip the carrier with the strategy of achieving how to build a hub for the southern part of Central Africa, remarking that since the former regional carrier, Air Afrique collapsed, there had been no direct air link between Nigeria and Cote D'Ivoire.
He further explained that the best model for building stronger airlines in Africa was through partnership among carriers, insisting that the visit to Arik Air has afforded the officials the window to obtain first-hand experience of running a service oriented airline.
He explained that after the visit, both Arik Air and Air Cote D' Ivoire would work out a template for mutual cooperation, which he said was key to running a solid carrier.
"We are pleased with what we have seen today at the airlines premises, it is a positive surprise. We are pleased to meet an airline that is serious, well-managed, and cost-effective as the basis for future business in Africa."
The Director-General of Air Cote D'Ivoire, Rene Decurey, who was highly impressed by the operations of the airline and its modern, state-of-the-art facilities said that Arik Air would assist the new airline to open market in English-speaking parts of the African continent.
"We want to know how Arik can help us develop the market in English speaking areas of Africa. Nobody is exploiting the routes between Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire. After (the defunct) Air Afrique our airline wants to retain its routes."

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Washoe County Juvenile Services is moving from its longtime home at the Charles M. McGee Center to Sparks.
The move to 2395 E. Prater Way is effective March 17.
The McGee Center was established in 1992 as a residential program for juvenile status offenders.
It evolved to include a girl's residential program until 2010, and then a day program for girls until 2012.
Since then it has served as the intact assessment until for juvenile offenders.
This spring the McGee Center will become a new child advocacy center to provide victims of sexual assault a home and other services.

NEW YORK (AP) — A bloody sock worn by Curt Schilling while pitching for the Boston Red Sox in Game 2 of the 2004 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals was sold for $92,613 at a live auction on Saturday night at the Fletcher-Sinclair Mansion.
Schilling's bloody sock from WS goes for $92,613
Schilling had loaned his sock to the National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum but when his Rhode Island-based video game company "38 Studios" went bankrupt, he decided to sell the sock that was bloodied as he pitched on an injured ankle.
Bidding began at $25,000 several weeks ago. Texas-based Heritage Auctions anticipated it would get more than $100,000.
An anonymous bidder submitted the winning bid.
"It's a one of a kind item, so it's really tough to gauge what kind of interest you're going to get," Chris Ivy, director of Sports Auctions for Heritage Auctions said. "Sometimes you catch lightning in a bottle where a piece will take off like the Buckner ball. This particular time, it's the first time we sold a sock with blood on it so it's very hard to gauge what kind of final number it's going to end up."
Schilling helped end Boston's 86-year championship drought — the "Curse of the Bambino" — by pitching on an ankle that had been sutured more than once through the postseason. Pitching with a damaged tendon resulted in bleeding through the sock. Still, Schilling allowed only a run in six innings.
The right-hander made $114 million over an 18-year career with Baltimore, Houston, Philadelphia, Arizona and Boston but defaulted on loan payments to the state of Rhode Island.
Schilling's company was lured away from Massachusetts to Providence after Rhode Island's economic development agency in 2010 approved a $75 million loan guarantee. The company ran out of money less than two years later and filed for bankruptcy. Rhode Island is facing a tab of approximately $100 million related to the deal, including interest, and the agency is suing Schilling and others, saying it was misled.
Even with the large sale price, Rhode Island is not getting the proceeds from the sale. Schilling listed the sock as bank collateral in a filing in Massachusetts after investing roughly $50 million in the company and losing all his baseball earnings.

CNU Charter Awards Adds New Categories
Jury Chair Jeff Speck Introduces Changes for 2014Submitted on 08/6/2013. Tags for this image:
The Congress for the New Urbanism announces new categories for the 14th Annual CNU Charter Awards, including "Best Tactical Intervention" and "Best Urban Infill"
CHICAGO, IL, August 1, 2013- The CNU Charter Awards, the global award for excellence in urban design, is getting a facelift this year. New Jury Chair Jeff Speck has altered and expanded the list of categories that applicants can apply for, recognizing the advances and new directions taken by new urbanists in previous decade.
The categories for this year will be:
* Best Regional Plan
* Best City Plan
* Best Neighborhood Plan
* Best District Plan
* Best Corridor Plan
* Best Urban Infill
* Best Street
* Best Block
* Best Building
* Best Suburban Retrofit
* Best Tactical Intervention
* Best Planning Tool or Process
While the new categories represent a significant expansion of the Charter Awards, Speck says that they are fully within the new urbanist tradition. "As in all previous years, submissions will be judged against only one standard, which is the time-tested principles put forth in the Charter for the New Urbanism," explains Speck. "While these principles are unwavering, past awards have shown us the great degree of diversity that they welcome. I have proposed this reorganization of the award categories-perhaps temporary-as a reminder that the Charter anticipates a broad range of interpretation, and in hope that it might encourage a larger number of designers to consider their work in its light."
The Charter of the New Urbanism, ratified in 1993 by a group of architects, planners and urban thinkers, is a groundbreaking document that speaks out against the "disinvestment in central cities" and "the spread of placeless sprawl," laying out a number of principles for turning that tide back and reclaiming "our homes, blocks, streets, parks, districts, towns, cities, regions, and environment." A new book just released by CNU and edited by Emily Talen builds on this legacy and expands the vision laid out by the founders. The Charter for the New Urbanism, 2nd Ed. is now available at Amazon.com and bookstores everywhere.
Winners of the 2013 Charter Awards included a student project to radically rethink housing projects on New York's Lower East Side and a holistic approach to a Rwandan village. Winners were selected by a top-notch team of new urbanists and invited experts including Shelley Poticha, Director of the Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities at HUD; V. Fei Tsen, Chairperson of Chinatown Community Development Center in San Francisco; and jury chair Doug Farr, Founding Principal of Farr Associates. This year's jury promises to be just as accomplished and exciting.
Professionals and students should be pleased with the change in the award submission categories, as it gives more opportunities to be considered "best in show." The 2014 Charter Awards will be accepting submissions as of November 1st, 2013 and will close January 8th, 2014.

Nigeria Travel Guide
From the loud laughter of traffic-choked Lagos to the green-fringed villages that line rivers and streams, Nigeria is one of the most exciting places to visit in Africa.
Once known only for oil and chaos, the country is changing rapidly. It has a rising middle class, a dynamic arts scene and more miles of golden sand than you can shake a bucket and spade at. Its national parks are home to some of the last remaining endangered species in West Africa, while its mountains offer a cooler climate and spectacular views of the most populous country in Africa.
Those 166 million people are as diverse as the nation itself; in the north, you'll see men in colourful Muslim dress lining prayer mats on Fridays, while their southern counterparts play checkers before church. The cuisine too is varied; there are hot and spicy dishes, fresh fish and meat, and yet fast food and imported dishes too.
But Nigeria's greatest asset - its wealth of native races and religions, its vibrant population - have also proven its downfall on countless explosive occasions, and military overthrows, coups and assassinations have been numerous. Apart from the dire economic situation, there was growing religious conflict. A particular problem was the decision of several local and regional governments in the mainly Muslim north to introduce a version of Islamic Shari'a law, very unpopular amongst non-Muslim minorities. Hundreds were killed in inter-communal clashes in 2000 and again in 2002. The government may be more stable than it once was, but tensions between the Muslim north and the more Christian south boil over often, and sadly security is now an issue when travelling to the north.
Yet, for all its domestic difficulties, Nigeria remains the major regional power and its troops intervened in a number of conflicts throughout West Africa during the 1990s. Regional stability of the West African region has become a major international issue in recent years since the discovery of new oil and gas deposits in West African waters, and Nigeria is now the continent's biggest oil producer. Its economy, too, is booming and in 2014 it overtook South Africa with the biggest GDP - at US $509bn - on the continent.
If you're looking for a quiet, easy travel destination, Nigeria isn't it, but if you want to feel the excitement of an emerging country, this land will blow you away. Dance the night away at a Nigerian wedding party, sip champagne with up and coming supermodels, buy art in the hipster Lagos district of Yabi, and then head into the mountains for some down time beneath cascading waterfalls. Nigeria is loud and brash, but it also has a quieter, more reflective side that deserves to be seen. In fact it has so many faces that at times it feels more like a continent than a single country, and the only way to experience it is to go.

Google's Chrome browser is at the top of the heap right now, but the Chrome OS operating system based on it has always been a questionable prospect.
Who would want to buy a computer that's basically nothing but a big web browser, with minimal local storage and almost no peripheral support? The benefits, like blazing fast startup time and easy app installation, don't seem to outweigh the drawbacks.
So it was surprising to see that shipping and distribution company Quality Distribution Inc. (QDI) recently deployed more than 400 Chrome devices in conjunction with a move to Google Gmail as its corporate email system. QDI worked with Cloud Sherpas, a Google enterprise distributor, to get the whole system up and running.
Cliff Dixon, the VP of IT for QDI, explained to CITEworld what the company was thinking.
The Chrome devices are part of a bigger strategic shift to web apps. And guess who drove that move? Not the IT department, but users. It's a classic case of consumerization.
"Users were not necessarily saying 'we should be working on apps that are HTML5,'" says Dixon. "They were saying 'Why can't I do my workflow process on my iPad?'"
QDI's move toward a web-first environment started a few years ago. QDI has a network of more than 125 branches and regional affiliates in the U.S. A lot of these affiliates are franchisees, many with fewer than five employees, and they have widely varying technical capabilities. Deploying and managing software on traditional PCs in this highly fractured environment was a headache.
"We had proprietary, locally installed apps. Every day we were having to do things like troubleshoot ODBC settings on local machines."
So several years ago the company converted to running all core apps on Terminal Services, a centralized Windows desktop environment that runs on Windows Server machines. Then, QDI offered cheap refurbished PCs for franchisees to access those apps.
At the same time, the expense of keeping its Microsoft software licenses up to date was spurring QDI to take a serious look at Google Apps. Dixon says, "When the Chromebook was announced we realized it was a perfect fit, it was exactly what we wanted to do. It lets us standardize to a vision."
QDI bought about 250 Chromebooks to replace the refurbished laptops some affliates were using, plus another 200 Chromeboxes – stationary cube-like desktop computers – for franchisees that didn't care about mobile access. But importantly, the Chrome devices aren't a requirement. They're just an inexpensive, low-touch way for QDI to provide access to the web-based environment it's been building over the last few years.
We supply hardware to franchise owners for their locations. We optimize our environment to have a good experience, but if an affiliate decides they want to have Macbooks run at their location, they can do that. I don't want any hardware requirement put on access to apps and data," says Dixon.
QDI also moved 1,200 employees and affiliates to Google's Gmail for email, but it still has a lot of old Windows apps – including a critical proprietary app for managing transportation, as well as some Microsoft Office – running on Terminal Services. For now, the company uses a virtualization solution from Ericom to provide access to these apps on any device, including the company-distributed Chrome devices. Eventually, Dixon says, they want to move off Office and to Google Apps entirely, but it'll take time.
If you want to follow in QDI's footsteps and move to an all-web environment, what's the biggest challenge?
Dixon says it was understanding the network bandwidth requirements of an all-web environment, and securing that bandwidth for its far flung franchisees.
QDI had MPLS network circuts at each location, but they were designed with a QoS hierarchy that put Internet access at the lowest priority level – below telephony, RDP (for remote desktop access), and even printing. "The Internet was considered just people watching videos." So QDI had to do a pretty significant redesign of its network. It also added bandwidth and installed wireless access points for franchisees that didn't have them.
Training is also very important.
"No matter how much you do, it's looked at like not doing enough," warns Dixon. "Users need to see where it would add time back to their day, where they'll benefit from what they're being given. The performance from Chromebooks and Chromeboxes are better than the PCs we're putting out there."
QDI is just one story, but it's a signal that Google's strategic shift for Chrome devices just might work.
Chrome computers were originally envisioned as a consumer alternative to cheap netbooks, which were very hot among consumers in 2008. Then the iPad came along, and the netbook market collapsed – before Google had time to get Chromebooks to market.
Late last year, Google began pitching Chrome devices to businesses and schools, and put the head of its Chrome business, Sundar Pichai (shown here), in charge of Google Apps and enterprise sales.
As QDI's experience shows, in a web-first environment, Chrome devices make a lot more sense as a business product than a consumer product. Employees are less likely to want to connect peripherals like digital cameras or MP3 players. All data is stored in the cloud, so a missing device doesn't mean permanent data loss. All software is installed and updated over the network, and the devices can be managed from the web, so organizations don't have to touch each device to update software. They're also built to be resistant to malware, and to boot nad resume from sleep almost instantly, saving precious seconds of productivity.
The takeaway? Consumerization is driving a lot of IT shops to move apps to the web, where they can be accessed easily from any device. As that happens, organizations might just find that Chrome devices are a cheap and reasonable alternative for company-issued kit.

A PLASTIC bottle provides a cheap way to harness the power of the Sun to disinfect emergency supplies of drinking water after natural disasters.
This week Oxfam discussed using solar disinfection in Assam, India, where the floods earlier this month left 5 million people homeless. The charity says that chlorination tablets for disinfecting drinking water are in short supply.
The idea of using plastic bottles for solar disinfectionor SODIShas been developed by researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology in Duebendorf. To disinfect water, people simply fill clear plastic bottles with water and leave them in the sun. The heat warms up the water and the combination of warm water and ultraviolet radiation kills most microorganisms.
"SODIS efficiently inactivates bacteria and viruses," explains project leader Martin Wegelin. He says that tests have shown that 99.9 per cent of the

Water line break at the Children's Center causes over $100k in damages
Date posted: January 29, 2014
SHERIDAN — A water line at the Children's Center caused more than $100,000 in damage last month.
The line associated with an upstairs bathroom broke within the facility the weekend of Dec. 14 and was discovered by staff Monday morning.
By that time, the facility had four to six inches of standing water pooling on the upper level in a section of the building between the kitchen and the infant center.
Three classrooms along the corridor are now gutted and in the process of remodeling, ready for new drywall installation.
In the meantime, approximately 30 children who would have been kept in the classrooms are relocated into the facility's basement, which has been modified to accommodate the center's operational needs.
Water from the upper level of the building did run down into the basement, but floor drains prevented significant damage on that level.
The groups of children relocated are 2 and 3-year-olds.
Damage estimates provided by the center's insurance company price the damage at more than $102,000, though center estimates were slightly lower at $98,364. The cost of the repairs will be covered by the center's insurance, minus a $1,000 deductible.

THE tender opening process for selecting the fuel supplier for the month of March, this year, was marred by confusion after it was determined that the three bidders who offered the lowest premium prices had faults in their documents.
After the evaluation committee opened all the suppliers' sealed tender documents with their offers, it took them more than two hours to discuss the offers, a situation that prompted most of the suppliers and stakeholders to leave the oil marketing board meeting room without getting the winner.
Seven oil suppliers had applied for tender number nine (9) but only six returned the documents - Augusta Energy SA, Enock Africa Limited, Gunvor SA, Glencore Energy UK Limited, Vitol SA and Gapco Tanzania Limited - while Totsa withdrew from participating in the process.
However, the representatives of the first three oil companies namely Augusta Energy SA, Gunvor SA and Gapco Tanzania Limited which offered lowest price remained to the last minute, but then entered into hot arguments with the tender evaluation committee after seeing their bids being dropped.
The tender committee announced Vitol SA as winner although it offered premium of 52.988 US dollars higher than 47.337 US dollars, 48.604 US dollars and 48.770 US dollars of Augusta Energy SA, Gunvor SA and Gapco (T) Limited respectively.
The differences in the bidding prices between the oil firm declared by the evaluation committee as winner and lowest bidder was 131,976,261.4 million US dollars which industry analysts say would be passed into the final consumer. Augusta SA, who offered the lowest prices were found with discrepancies in the tender documents, which according to the evaluation committee disqualified them.
One of the errors was the dates for supplying the oil cargo that instead of March 2013, wrote November 2012. The Augusta Energy SA Managing Director, Mr Giuseppe Nestola said the tender evaluation committee was supposed to ask them for explanations of the typing errors in the tender documents instead of disqualifying them.
"The evaluation committee should put the national interest first and consider the low prices offered for the good of the local market, instead of sticking on the small discrepancies which could be easily corrected," he said. After long arguments between the evaluation team and the oil marketing firms, the General Manager for the Petroleum Importation Coordinator (PIC), Mr Michael Mjinja intervened and put on hold the Vitol SA victory until the dispute is settled.
He said the winner would be announced later on and the evaluation team and PIC management locked inside for discussions, geared at settling the disagreements with the oil marketing companies which claim to have won the tender.
However, after being contacted yesterday late evening, Mr Mjinja said that the tender evaluation committee was directed to prepare a report on how they came to pick the disputed company and will make the report public today.
However, he said, the mounting competition in the Bulk Procurement System (BPS) is one of the factors that has contributed greatly to declining average premium prices to around 47 US dollars. "It is a positive trend that would be reflected in the declining prices in the retail pumps," he added.

It was a huge hit! My mom couldn't get over the texture you created in the fabric at the tips of the tail and legs. Last I heard, it was on display in the lobby of the Riverview Condos.

Wow! That is one of the best cakes I have ever seen! My daughter loves sock monkey but I am terrible using fondant, so I kept thinking, doesn't this look like those cinnamon sugar donut? So maybe if use that type of topping on a regular cake? Of course, some people don't like cinnamon, so I'd have to be sure of taste preferences. Absolutely wonderful work!

Thanks Kayan - I'm not very good at using fondant either. But you just gotta keep trying. I like the idea of a cinnamon-sugar donut - very similar texture...that just might work!
- March 10, 2012 at 2:33 PM
Could you possibly give the recipe for the chocolate fondant you used. I have to make a cake like this for this weekend. I am really stressing over the design for the fabric. ugh...
- March 21, 2012 at 5:38 PM
- Project Denneler said...
I'm sorry Leslie, but I don't have the fondant recipe anymore. It was my first attempt at making chocolate and I just remember Googling: easy, delicious chocolate fondant. When I read that it would taste like a Tootsie Roll, I was sold. It really did. But unfortunately, I didn't bookmark the recipe.
Good luck!

Hi, i love your cake!! I'm thinking of attempting it for my son's 1st birthday. I have a question did you use rice Krispy for the head, hat and ears?
- February 9, 2015 at 8:55 AM
- Project Denneler said...
Yes, I used Rice Krispy Treats for everything but the body, and covered it all in chocolate fondant textured with white chocolate shavings. Good luck!

ET702 flight, hijacked by its own crew on February 17, 2014, and forced to land in Geneva, was the 10th in the world since 1951. The first such hijack in history was recorded on October 17, 1951, when two pilots had forced a Jugoslovenski Aerotransport (JAT) Flight 22 land in Zurich, Switzerland. The pilots had sought political asylum from Swiss authorities.
Sixty three years later, Hailemedihen Abera, a co-pilot in a flight bound to Rome from Addis Abeba, carrying 202 people, forced the plane to land in Geneva airport early in the morning of Monday. There was no injury to any of the passengers or crew. Indeed, there was only one incident of fatality when on October 29, 1960, a co-pilot forced the pilot, under a gunpoint, to divert a domestic Flight 34 of Cuban de Aviacion. During a shooting incident, an air marshall on board was killed, while nine people involved in the hijacking had sought asylum in the United States, according to Aviation Safety Network.

Kevin Love is hurt again, but the Minnesota Timberwolves withstood his latest injury their last time out. Having him available against the Portland Trail Blazers hasn't mattered much. With Love's status unclear, the Timberwolves will try to beat their Northwest Division rivals for just the third time in over five years Saturday night. Love is nursing a sprained finger on his right hand, which forced him to exit in the third quarter of Thursday's 101-97 win at Denver. He still finished with 12 points and 17 rebounds in 24 minutes. He broke the same hand in October, missing the opening nine games of the season, and he's sat out a couple more last month with eye and thumb ailments. The injuries have contributed to Love's 35.2 percent shooting from the floor, nearly 10 percent less than his career average. "He said he could have played, but he couldn't shoot," coach Rick Adelman said Thursday. It's uncertain if Love's status has improved since, but he's struggled to make a difference wh...

Q: I'm a 47 year old former plumber and my doctor has taken me off work. I have severe arthritis, joint damage, severe allergic reactions, vision issues, a back injury, neck injury, and knee injury. I have filed for unemployment because I need money to pay my bills. I don't see the doctor regularly because they say there isn't anything they can do for me.
A: Given your facts, you may have a tough time getting approved. You may qualify for Social Security disability benefits, but it will be a difficult case for several reasons.
Social Security and unemployment.
- Social Security judges don't like to approve people who have been on unemployment and applied for Social Security disability at the same time.
- In Colorado, to apply for unemployment you have to certify that you are ready and able to work.
- Social Security judges tend to feel that this contradicts your claim that you are disabled. Social Security is a total disability system – this means that when you are applying you are saying that you cannot work at all.
Most attorneys won't take a case unless you are currently seeing a doctor on a regular basis.
With no medical evidence, we have nothing to argue from. Social Security cases must be supported by medical documentation for us to take them. Read about evidence needed to win a Social Security case.
It will be difficult to show that there is no work you can do without medical records to back that up.
- Without good medical records you will have a difficult time proving that there is no work you can do. And that is what we have to show to win a Social Security disability case.
- At your age (47), it's not enough just to show that you can't do the type of work you've done before. We have to eliminate all work.
- You need to find out if your doctor is willing to say in writing that you can't return to any type of work – even a desk job (sedentary work). Getting your doctor's opinion will help you qualify for Social Security disability benefits.

4.) Edinson Cavani
Edinson Cavani's explosive 2012/13 has earnt him a £55.6m move to French champions Paris Sant-Germain.
The Uruguayan scored 29 league goals in 34 appearances last time around and now looks set to battle Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a place in PSG's starting eleven.
Cavani was closely linked to Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester City before the Paris side triggered his monstrous buy-out clause.
He has stated his claim to be considered as one of the best players in the world and will no doubt have a great opportunity now to show what he can do on the biggest stage. If he can be as prolific at PSG as he was in Italy then it won't take him long to live up to his price tag.

Using the right amount for the right fungicide is essential for effective plant disease control. But, that's only half the battle! You must also know when to apply the selected materials. Unfortunately, garden hobbyists may find timing to be as confusing as chemical selection.
Fungicides works by preventing plant disease. They serve as shields against infection not cures. These chemicals can't save plants that are already infected. They can only limit the spread of a disease to a healthy plant. So, it's very important to begin a fungicidal spray program at eh first sign of attack or, better yet, even before you notice any symptoms at all.
When you notice the first signs of fungus disease usually leaf spots or blight you can be fairly sure that the affected plants have been infected for a t least three days, and perhaps as long as two weeks. Symptoms of bacterial leaf spots and downy mildew usually appear three to ten days after infection. Other leaf diseases have incubation periods of from seven to 10 days, in some cases as long as from ten to fourteen days.
Generally, the longer the incubation period, the slower a disease spreads, and the more easily it can be controlled. Obviously, then diseases that have short incubation periods, such as bacterial blights, and downy mildews are the most difficult to control.
Other variables, such as weather conditions, cultural control, fungicide toxicity, and spray application techniques also will have some effect on your attempts to control a disease. But, the one factor that will have the most influence is the time at which you begin your spray program. As we've said, the earlier you begin, the more successful you will be.
So, you should always inspect your plants carefully and frequently, and begin spraying at the first sign of infection. It may seem that extensive disease symptoms develop overnight. However, a few spots always appear on the leaves before a sudden explosion of symptoms. And, you should remain alert for these early warnings. Also, if you know from past experience that a disease problem is likely to develop, you should begin a spray program before you see any symptoms at all. Then, continue spraying at the intervals suggested on the product label.
If disease symptoms that have appeared seem to get worse after you've sprayed, don't get discouraged. Remember that fungicides can only prevent – not cure – an infection. So, a disease may continue to produce symptoms for some time after spraying. However, you should notice a slowdown in symptom development within about 10 days following application of a fungicide.
As we've said, you should begin control measure at the first sign of infection. However, if you don't begin spraying until a disease has spread quite a bit, you should use the most effective material you can find, and apply ti at the highest rate allowed on the product label. Also, shorten the interval between sprays as much as the label recommends, and water the plants only when necessary.
For more information on apply fungicides contact the Gulf County Extension Service at 639-3200 or visit our website: http://gulf.ifas.ufl.edu or www.http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu and see Publication PP 233, PP-275, PP154.

'Green wedge' fears over 160-home plan separating St Austell and St Blazey
Posted: October 23, 2012|
CONTROVERSIAL plans to build on the green section of land that separates St Austell and St Blazey were unveiled to the public this week.
Tiverton-based developer Devonshire Homes Ltd wants to build 160 homes on a 20-acre stretch of green land at Holmbush Road, St Austell – to the west of Pinelodge Gardens.
The two and four-bedroom properties would be mixed open market and affordable homes.
Devonshire Homes could not confirm the percentage of affordable homes but said that it would be in line with Cornwall Council policy. The development would also include a restaurant operated by the Marston's chain.
This would create about 50 full and part-time jobs, as well as 560sq m of office space and 700sq m of retail and/or office space.
Devonshire Homes has also mentioned the possibility of supplying money for a park and ride scheme to the east of St Austell as part of a Section 106 agreement to offset infrastructure impacts.
Councillors and residents alike have expressed concerns that the infrastructure would not cope and that the two towns would merge into one.
"From a chamber of commerce point of view, it's encouraging to see employment opportunities around the restaurant/pub and the other commercial properties," said St Austell Bay Chamber of Commerce chairman Tom French.
"However, I think the developers will attract considerable opposition if only because their development comes out on to the already heavily congested A390."
He suggested that a better use of the land would be to build residential protected housing next to Pinelodge Gardens, which would not increase traffic to the same level.
St Austell Bay Cornwall Councillor John Oxenham said he also had concerns about access and the disposal of surface rainwater and sewage, which worries residents who have recently been flooded.
"I'm fundamentally opposed to the development of this last remaining 'green wedge' separating Holmbush and St Blazey," he said.
"The residents have clearly stated they do not want every last green field built on."
Steve Russell, Devonshire Homes' land and planning director said: "We are pleased with the interest shown in our proposals for the Holmbush Road site.
"We value community feedback in the development of all our proposals and look forward to receiving further local comments following the public exhibition."

Farm Bureau Sees New Window of Opportunity for Immigration Reform
For more information on Newsline, contact: Kari Barbic, Media Specialist, American Farm Bureau Federation, email@example.com.
Immigration reform is a top priority for the American Farm Bureau. AFBF ag labor specialist Kristi Boswell says Farm Bureau has been working very hard to see reform move forward and now there is a window of opportunity for the House to act before the August recess. Seanica Otterby has the story.
|Immigration reform is an emotional and political issue, according to Kristi Boswell, American Farm Bureau ag labor specialist. While many were skeptical of immigration reform occurring at all this year due to 2014 being an election year, Boswell says polling shows immigration reform isn't impacting voters' decisions.
|Also, I think some of the pressure on the president from his base, pushing him to do something administratively, we see that as a reason for the House to act and House Republicans to have a mark on this issue.
|Boswell says it's clear the House will take a different approach on reform from the Senate, but there are key elements that must be included for agriculture to be on board.
|So long as our current workforce and a work authorization for our current workforce and a new flexible guestworker program are included in those pieces, we're supportive of that effort.
|The grassroots effort is critical at this point, Boswell says.
|Farm Bureau has been working very closely in campaigns and also continue to do outreach in districts to make sure members in D.C. know that their farmers are on board with immigration reform as well. I would encourage all farmers to touch base with your member of Congress. Tell your story. It really matters what constituents are saying at home, so we need that push to make members of Congress know that we need immigration reform this year.

First class service
Tom Harris paid a visit to local postal workers this morning to see how they're coping at the busiest time of their year.
The Glasgow South MP met Pauline O'Connor, delivery office manager for the G44 delivery area at the Muirend sorting office.
"I know this is the time of year when postal workers could probably do without an MP getting in their way," said Tom. "But I wanted to take up the offer from Royal Mail, which they make every year, to offer some encouragement to the operation. It's fascinating to see for yourself how so many thousands of pieces of mail every day are sorted and prepared for delivery.
"Royal Mail do a fantastic job all year round and they deserve our support, especially when so many families' Happy Christmas depends on them," he added. "I'm really grateful to Pauline and her fellow workers for giving me the time to chat this morning."

32- and 37-inch models join D64U series lineup
LAS VEGAS, January 7, 2008 – Sharp, a worldwide leader in flat-panel Liquid Crystal Display Televisions (LCD TV), has added 32- and 37-inch screen sizes to its "slim-line" D64U series of AQUOS® Full HD 1080p HDTVs, which already includes 42-, 46-, 52- and 65-inch screen sizes. Boasting a significantly smaller footprint than previous models, the D64U series allows consumers to fit more TV into less space. "Sharp's D64U series sets the standard for picture quality and styling in LCD TV," said Bruce Tripido, associate vice president, marketing, Entertainment Products Division, Sharp. "Not only do consumers get the benefit of Full HD resolution, they get the highest performance video available in an elegant, space-saving design." To achieve the exceptionally thin depth, Sharp engineers redesigned the circuitry inside the LCD panel and reduced the overall number of components, resulting in a cabinet that's 25 percent slimmer than previous AQUOS models. In addition, the advanced design trims the weight of the displays by as much as 20 percent. Thanks to the thinner bezel and recessed stealth speakers, consumers are able to appreciate a larger picture without giving up more wall or cabinet space. The D64U AQUOS series provides a superior Full HD 1080p picture with unparalleled performance, utilizing Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View (ASV) /Black TFT Panel with Multi-Pixel technology. The panels produce an impressive 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio that delivers deep blacks and detail in dark scenes. The 6ms response time (4ms on 42"/46"/52"/65") allows for crisp images, even in fast-moving scenes. The LC-37D64U and LC-32D64U incorporate Sharp's 4-wavelength backlight system, which provides deep, vibrant reds. Generous 176-degree viewing angles offer consumers the ability to view the picture from virtually anywhere in the room. The LC-37D64U and LC-32D64U are outfitted with a full array of inputs including two HDMI version 1.3 (x. v.ColorTM), two component HD (all 1080p-compatible) a PC input and an RS-232C port for control. The Energy Star®-compliant D64U series TVs maintain very low power consumption.
Pricing and availability LC-37D64U will be available in February for a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $1,599.99 LC-32D64U will be available in January for an MSRP is $1,299.99

Joined: Mar 2012
Location: Portland, OR
Oddometer: 1,159
Busted en route to Santa Rosa...
Day 74
Medellin, Colombia to Santa Rosa, Colombia
Day's Ride: 137 Miles
Well, I finally managed to leave Medellin. It was hard, but I forced myself to pack up and get out. Before I left I had to have Al sign the tank:
And then I had to get a picture with him and Zach, his manager, and James, one of the Motolobia guys, in front of the Shamrock.
Al, if you're reading this, thanks for the great stay! The Shamrock rules! By the way, you need to start a wall of fame with pictures from all of the overlanders that stop at your bar.
As I was leaving, Byron and Isabel rolled up and took over my room. It was good to see them again. I have a feeling I'll be meeting them again at least one more time.
Getting on the road south again felt good. It was hot out, but my new pressure suit thingamig was working great. After passing quite a bit of stalled traffic coming out of the city, I began to reflect that the double yellow line running down the middle of most roads does not mean "don't pass" but is actually a tiny passing lane for motos.
The ride out of Medellin heading south towards Cali is fantastic. Their is a fairly large climb and then an even larger drop down into a long river valley. Part of the road follows a ridge line down into the lowlands.
Stopped for lunch at a roadside restaurant after I finally got to the floor of the valley and ordered "Choripapas", which I figured would be sausage and potatoes, but ended up being french fries and potatoes. Close enough.
After lunch I was blasting south when I saw a couple of riders stopped by the road on a VSTROM 650. I pulled over and said hi and asked for directions. They were taking a break from their riding gear as it was incredibly hot and humid. Once again I was thankful that I had purchased the pressure suit.
After leaving the VSTROM riders, I was coming around a corner when I ran right into a Colombian Speed Trap! Ay Carumba! The cops immediately jumped out into the road and motioned me to pull over. As soon as I had my helmet off, one of the cops came up and started asking for my papers and telling me that I had just been caught violating the speed limit. Blast!
I tried the stupid gringo trick and acted like I had no idea what he was saying; however, he was extremely persistent, so I eventually gave him my fake driver's license, and copies of my passport, importation papers, and insurance. He took everything over to his jefe and they started writing me up. I waltzed over and took a look at their operation. They had a perfect location, just at the bottom of a long sweeping curve where the speed limit dropped from 80 KPH to 50 KPH in the span of a few meters. You can see the curve in the background as one of the coppers scrutinizes my xeroxes:
I was a little pissed, but there wasn't much that I could do. It's not like I've actually been paying attention to speed limits. I don't usually ride much over 60 MPH anyways so it seemed like there was no need. This was also the first time I had seen Colombians using a speed gun. It was pretty legit though. They showed me the laser and replayed the video of me coming around the corner with my speed (88 KPH) pasted across the image.
Well, they got me fair and square. I waited for the discussion of money to begin; however, the jefe took my documents and started writing me a ticket. Well I'll be. I don't have to bribe anyone.
I was still playing stupid so I couldn't really ask him where to pay. Next time I'm just going to try giving them the sad Gringo look. About the same time they gave me my ticket and told me to go away, another motorcyclists on a R1200GS got pulled over. I asked the rider if he spoke English. He did. He then told me he recognized me from yesterday; apparently he had been eating lunch in the restaurant that I stopped at with Juan David, Daniel, and Rafa. Small world. I asked him what I should do.
"Don't pay it. Just get the hell out of Colombia. They aren't advanced enough to have it in the system by the time you cross into Ecuador."
Okay then. I'm not sure if that's the best advice, but I don't really know what else to do. I guess I'll try and figure it out tomorrow.
I hopped back on and continued riding until I reached Santa Rosa. I continued out of town until I reached the Hot Springs, or "Termales" as they are called. Al told me about this place and said it was a must see. There is a huge waterfall at the back of the complex, probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 feet.
My pictures don't do it justice.
Getting into the nice Hot Springs costs 40,000 pesos (about $20). I probably wouldn't have paid that much, but a good soak sounded like a good idea and the restaurant had wifi. Since my Cabana down the road does not have internet, I decided I might as well take a dip and post on the old ride report. So here you go!
That's all for today. If there are any Colombianos reading this that want to give me advice on that ticket, I'd appreciate it. I've got to go, the lady in the lobby of the hotel that I'm pirating this wifi from is starting to give me dirty looks.....

Reverend Katrina Foster is the pastor at St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Amagansett and Incarnation Lutheran Church in Watermill. She is also a proud advocate of the Legal Immigration Service of Long Island.
Tell us a little bit about your congregation.
We're a reconciling congregation. We're very welcoming to GLBTQ people and advertise it and are very public about it in our welcome. There are others that welcome the GLBTQ on the East End, though this is specifically at the forefront of what we do.
As an openly gay pastor what has been your experience and how have any obstacles shaped who you are today?
I grew up gay in the South where it was very clear that you could not be Christian and gay. I knew I loved Jesus and according to them he hated me. Later, I found out that Jesus loved me and that they were the ones that were wrong. Though The Bible and God's grace continues to be an ongoing journey of faith. In the Hampton's sexuality hasn't been an issue. We go to church, take Zoia to school, pay our taxes, walk the dog, go to the beach; we're just a family. Though the reality is we're still not treated equally. We still need to repeal the Federal Defense of Marriage Act, fix injustices of the tax system. The reality is that there are people who still hate gay people who want to abuse us verbally, physically and even kill us. It's easy to become complacent and to think everything is okay; we still have a long way to go.
Through baptism God claims us as God's own children. When I baptize a baby I don't say this straight baby or gay baby, it's a baby. Some baby's grow up straight and some gay and God made them all equally.
What future steps do you think can be taken towards the acceptance of gays and lesbians in other congregations?
Pastors have to have the courage to come out as allies. The problem is with those who are homophobic. We need to work to change the system. When an issue becomes a person, then the way we vote on that issue changes. When our son or daughter is bi or gay, our votes change as our opinions change. Kids are being denied the same rights that straight people have. Overwhelmingly huge portions of the homeless are queer kids. There are families who haven't quoted scripture in years, and these parents fail when they throw their kids out. We need to create safe places for these kids to go and stand up against what is wrong. We need to make sure that Don't Ask Don't Tell stays repealed. We need to always work for the rights of the marginalized.

Catawba Avenue at Exit 28 reopened to traffic before sunrise on Sunday morning, with lanes reconfigured into a crossover pattern called a "diverging diamond" that's designed to improve traffic flow on and off I-77.
The road had closed to cars, bikes and pedestrians Friday night at midnight so the NC Department of Transportation's contractor Blythe Construction could complete the realignment. Traffic on Saturday was heavier than normal on side roads including US 21/Statesville Road and Westmoreland Road, as drivers sought alternate routes across the highway.
It had been scheduled to be closed until 8am Sunday, but it was open hours before that.
Although the road reopened with the new traffic pattern, traffic is now down to one lane in both directions. That will continue for the next 4 or 5 months, and could snarl the area's already slow traffic at peak hours.
The next steps will be to build concrete medians, walls, permanent traffic signals, and sidewalks, the town says on its DDI project web page.
The work is part of a $5.4 million NC Department of Transportation project to reduce congestion in the Exit 28 area. Work will continue on the project through at least November, town and DOT officials have said.
When that's done, the Town of Cornelius also is planning a related project to improve the appearance of the overpass, making it a "gateway" to town. Plans call for a nautical-themed design with decorative bridge abutments, 5-foot lanterns at four corners, a central pedestrian walkway on the bridge, and trees and other plantings.
So how does a "diverging diamond" work? Catawba Avenue drivers entering the overpass from either direction will pass through a traffic signal and then cross over to the left side of the bridge. From there, they'll be able to cruise onto I-77 north or south without another stop, as currently required.
Those continuing across the overpass will go through another signal and cross back over to the right side of the road to continue on Catawba Avenue.
Meanwhile, traffic exiting the highway from north or south will travel off the ramp and onto Catawba Avenue without a stoplight.
(See an NCDOT video that explains how to drive through a diverging diamond interchange.)
The bridge project also eventually will improve pedestrian and bike traffic on the road, adding a central walkway/bike path.
