CLEVELAND, OH -- Minnesota's Eduardo Escobar launched a home run in the top of the 10th inning to lift the Twins to a 1-0 win over the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field last night in the opener of a four-game set. Reliever Caleb Thielbar of Randolph grabbed the win and Stillwater's Glen Perkins locked up his eighth save with a perfect 10th. Minnesota was 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position, but still got back to .500 through 30 games with its third straight victory. Kyle Gibson tossed seven shutout innings, but wasn't a part of the decision. Cleveland was held to three hits, two from Mike Aviles. John Axford was handed his third loss of the season. Zach McAllister bounced back striking out eight through six-and-two-thirds innings for the Tribe, who are 2-and-8 in their last 10. The same two teams play tonight in Ohio, with a 6:05 p.m. first pitch.

Just Bud Selig being his slow self.
I'd say this trade is 99% a lock. Selig was already defending the Marlins' point of view on the trade earlier this week in an interview saying he talked to a couple highly respected people around the league who think the Marlins are making out fairly good with the deal.

raising a girl...bra, shower, and deoderant question
My DD is 6, but sometimes seems like she is older than that.
I have been trying to get her to take showers instead of baths all the time. She doesn't really like them because she's afraid of the water....BUT if I get in the shower with her to show her how to do it, she's fine. Any suggestions?? I REALLY don't want to take showers with my daughter (I have body insecurities as well as it's just plain uncomfortable)
Also, my DH asked me when our DDs will need to start wearing bras. Back when I was young my mom didn't buy training bras until I started to develop...but we were also on the lower class and if she could have gotten away with it, probably wouldn't have bought me a bra (she was the mom who wouldn't allow me to take showers everyday because I was using the oil and raising the water bill :( so I don't have a very good 'example' on how to help a little girl) When did you start to buy your DD a bra? my DD is interested in them...but I don't want to push her to grow up...so I'm confused.
oh and....deoderant? She takes a shower/bath everyday but DH and I have noticed she may need to start wearing deoderant. When did you or your DD start to wear it and what kind did you buy her?
She's never had a problem with baths and any kind of infection...I don't know why I let my brother get to me so much. He always has somethingt o say about the way I raise my kids. My mom is the same way sometimes. When I asked her docter she said that it may be a good idea to suggest a shower or encourage her to take one, but if she hasn't had any problems, there's no need to rush it. I just was looking for other mom's opinions!! Thanks! :)
Quoting nuts4scouts:
Quoting lovinlife0607:
I totally get what you're saying and I agree!! I was questioning myself on these subjects because of what other mom's were questioning me....even my brother on the shower/bath thing because his 8 y.o. SD takes showers bc she would apparently get infections when given a bath so he was insistant that I start my DD on showering.
Your brother's SD might just be susceptible.
If you are worried there are some things you can do - 1) Make sure the tub is clean. 2) Do not do bubble baths, and use a soap that has no perfumes or dyes as those might irritate.
If your DD is having no problems, and is happy taking a bath, let her be. You do not want to make bath time into something she will dread.
The next time your brother, or anyone else, complains simply tell them your DD is healthy and happy as she is.
You might also tell brother to "but out", however that would depend on just how "insistent" he is being!
One more thought, bring it up the next time you take you DD in to see her doctor. Then you can have a "official" source.
Quoting lovinlife0607:
she is sweating and my DH and sister have made the comment that she should probably start wearing deoderant. As I replied to another mom, my brother was more pressuring me into starting showers with my dd. He's older than me and has an 8 y.o. SD so I thought hew was right...especially when he mentioned the risk of infections or something... she would much rather take a bath. I told her showers were what big girls took instead of baths but it doesn't really matter to her :)
Quoting MrsWhite101610:
I have a 2.5 year old dd so I haven't experienced this yet with her. Maybe explain to her why she needs to shower... how she's a big girl now and baths are for younger children. As far as bras I think she's too young, wait until she's developing some. That way she still understands she is a child. And if she's sweating then buy her deoderant if not than I wouldn't. I seen some geared towards preteens/teens. I don't remember the brand though.
training bras when they start to show, deoderant when they they smell more usally aounr 12 or 13 shower thing let her take a bath nothing wrong with it. in time she will shower
I wouldn't force DD to take a shower if she doesnt want too, as long as she takes a bath everyday you are fine. Shower is something that you can get into when she a bit older , maybe around 8 yo. As for bras she is too young, but I do agree with a PP that an undershirt is a great place to start, i have 4 yo girls and they wear them. I would suggest looking into bras when she actually has developed a bit and is actually in need of them. As for deodorant you can have her put some on if she really needs it but look for ones that are not too strong and are made for senstive skin.
My oldest dd is 8. She is going to be an early bloomer, I think... I know that I was! We do use deodorant for her... we noticed last summer that she would get a bit stinky on hot days! Rather than use a standard antiperspirant, I bought her one of the all-natural mineral salt sticks... doesn't interfere with sweating but kills bacteria on the skin that cause body odor. We just use it when she gets out of the bath, and it has been enough for her so far. No bra yet. She has minimal breast buds, but nothing that needs support yet. I'm not going to worry about bras until she is more developed than she is. We have talked about physical development and that breast buds are the first stage of growing breasts, and that eventually she will wear a bra like mom's, but she is in no way hankering for one and I don't plan to get one until she is a little more developed. As for showers, no idea... she still prefers baths and I dont' really care one way or another as long as she is clean!
my daughter is 8....she has showered (either a bath or shower)on her own since she was 2.5...with my help washing hair..she doesnt use deoderant yet...no need for it..and she has no need for a bra yet...although she wants one..LOL..,however i wont buy her one til she needs one..maybe a sports bra...but not til next year...(maybe..lol)

HBO's 'Newsroom' Sunday about Madison protests
"The Newsroom," HBO's fictional series about a cable network newscast and its controversial anchor, played by Jeff Daniels, will include a storyline about the Madison protests in Sunday's show. HBO did not make a copy of the episode available in advance.
According to a synopsis:
"In the midst of covering the ouster of Egyptian president Mubarak, the "News Night" team learns of a protest in Wisconsin against Gov. Scott Walker's bill to balance the budget by cutting teachers' jobs." Producers played by Alison Pill, John Gallagher, Jr. and Thomas Sadoski, "hustle to get side-by-side views of the simultaneous uprisings on air."
The show was created by Aaron Sorkin, who won an Oscar for the screenplay for "The Social Network" and created "The West Wing. He wrote Sunday's episode.
"The Newsroom" typically covers past news events, as if they are happening at the time the show is set, a narrative device that gives Sorkin the benefit of always being right.
The trailer below for Sunday's episode portrays the Egyptian side of the story, as reporters in Cairo are put in danger and go missing, but not Madison events.
Perhaps in future events, they'll cover the recall election.

At times, the parking got so bad there wasn't just arandom car parked at the end of the row, they were often two cars deep. This was a job for: the Campus Police. Parking debacles kept UHPD busy all year long. Chris (last name withheld by request), a junior Architecture major, confessed "Yeah, sometimes I park where I'm not supposed to. I don't always have a choice, but I've certainly been ticketed for it.." Parking wasn't the only jb for the UHPD, however. The campus police were flooded with reports of misconduct at odd hours from the Architecture building. Reports ranged from loud music to panhandling homeless, students throwing phone books from the fourth floor balcony, and even an incident of attempted "stair surfing" that left a gaping hole in a third-floor wall. Sometimes, UHPD was called as many as 7 times a night for separate problems requiring an officer at the building. These were just a few of the ways the department worked on campus. Other jobs included escorting students to poorly-lit locations after dark, responding to crime reports, and dealing with parking-lot traffic accidents. Though students sometimes complained about the department, it was clear that they helped the campus run a little more smoothly.

Why Is Romeo And Juliet So Famous
Why is Romeo and Juliet so famous?
- print Print
- list Cite
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is considered the consummate love story. Some say that every love story written since owes at least a little something to this story of Juliet and her Romeo.
There are probably a hundred reasons why the play is so famous. I'll present an idea or two.
Any love story needs an obstacle, something that keeps the lovers apart, at least temporarily. Shakespeare's version of an obstacle--the feud between the Montagues and Capulets--has been imitated so often it is now cliche. Yet, the formula still continues to work. As the two lovers fight against their families, the audience's sympathies deepen. The tougher the obstacles, the better the love story.
One aspect I've always found interesting about the play's popularity is that it is a love story with an unhappy ending. How rare is that! Of course, the play is a tragedy and contains much more than just the love story. And maybe it's the mix of romance and tragedy that makes the play so popular.
It seems to me that one of the reasons why the drama is so famous is because of its simplicity and direct characterizations. I have always felt that it is the most direct of Shakespeare's dramas. Part of this might be that the cultural reference to the play is quite common. The notion of two people in love that are divided by social stratas is relatively familiar. Of Shakespearean characterizations, the protagonists are fairly straight forward. We see both of them as in love with one another, or at least infatuated with one another, and can understand both of them as striving to exceed the social barriers around them. The fact that love is a central theme of the drama and that it survives even when the lovers do not is another reason why the play is so very famous. Finally, in schools, my experience has been that "Romeo and Juliet" is a starting point with first year high school students in their study of Shakespeare, another reason why it is so famous.
Romeo and Juliet stretches across all generations and cultures in terms of theme.
The dueling families, the teenage quest to interpret the difference between infatuation and love, the role of a family friend or mentor and how to deal with the blows that life deal you are themes of the human condition. People may deal with these issues at different times in their lives, but almost all people deal with at least one of these issues if not all. Think of how often you hear about someone referring to their in-laws negatively!
Today, even though English teachers think Shakespeare's language is cool, students struggle with it. But the themes, and the struggles of the human condition, students can relate to that.
I would say this play is so famous because of the power of the story. It is a very sad story because of the fate that befalls the two lovers.
I would also say it is famous because of the beautiful poetry and imagery used by the characters. The words they speak to one another have become famous for this. For example, the imagery that Romeo uses of Juliet as the sun and the moon being jealous of her beauty is very powerful.
Finally, I would say that it offers some important (and memorably worded) insights into what is important in life. An example of this is Juliet's speech about Romeo and his name and "a rose by any other name..."
For starters, Romeo and Juliet is very famous because it was written by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet is actually an adaptation of a poem previously written by another author. Shakespeare used concepts from the poem and wrote Romeo and Juliet.
Shakespeare was a brilliant author who used beautiful imagery and words that captivate the heart. The play also references Pyramus and Thisbe which was written by a Roman poet. There are many similarities here as well.
Romeo and Juliet has been and will continue to be one of the most famous plays ever written.
Romeo and Juliet is written to perfection! Not only was it written by William Shakespeare, the plot of the story was amazing. It tells how much a couple would go for each other even though their parents were against it. The main twist of the story has the be the ending. If you never heard of the story you probably think this would be an ordinary fairy tale. Unfortunately, this is different, the ending is as tragic as it could be. Personally, I would believe the ending gave the story more popularity since it attracts some people seeking for different types of endings or surprises.
Romeo and Juliet is famous for the ending . They both killed themselves because they were in love with each other and would do anything to be with each other. They both came from feuding families and if their families knew they loved each other they would forbid them to ever see each other. Knowing that the other one had died, they would kill themselves because they love that person that much.
Romeo and Juliet is famous for its tragic ending . Two lovers who seriously just wants to be together , but knows that their parents won't approve tries to be together . Towards the end , knowing that their spouse has died , being unable to bear with the idea , commits suicide .

Sheehy begins push for decision on replacing BMO Harris Bradley Center
By mid-2014, the community needs to have a good idea of what role the private and public sector will play in the construction of a new, multipurpose arena in Milwaukee.
That's the opinion of Timothy Sheehy, the president of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, who said Thursday that he plans to form a task force by Jan. 1 to begin the long process of fact-gathering needed to help the community make a decision on whether a new arena can be built to replace the aging BMO Harris Bradley Center.
Sheehy, who knows full well the bruising debate that erupted in Milwaukee and Madison over the financing and construction of Miller Park, says the task force will consist of business leaders in the area. The community, he emphasized, will play a role and be given opportunities to express their opinion as well.
The catalyst for the task force is the new six-year lease the Milwaukee Bucks signed with the BMO Harris Bradley Center. That, plus an $18 million sponsorship commitment from major corporations as well as a $5 million state grant, has bought time to allow fact gathering and decision making to begin.
"That gives us some breathing room to focus on the next step," Sheehy said Thursday in an interview.
"We need to start a dialog about the value of being one of 30 cities with an NBA brand," he added. "We think there is value in that brand globally. It attracts talent to Milwaukee and it is an economic driver. We will be exploring all of the options."
As part of that fact-gathering, Sheehy said some business leaders plan to visit the Barclays Center, the new home of the Brooklyn Nets.
"There are a lot of questions that need to be answered," he said. "What are the benefits and economics of a new arena? What should be the private sector share? How do you involve the public sector? Will it be a sales tax, or a combination of things?"
The linchpin of the financing plan for Miller Park is the 0.1% stadium sales tax, which is collected in Waukesha, Washington, Racine, Milwaukee and Ozaukee Counties. That tax has been collected since 1996. Its scheduled sunset date is not known, but consultants believe it could be 2017.
In Brown County, taxpayers there pay a 0.5% sales tax that partly financed the $293 million makeover of Lambeau Field in 2003.
The Bucks will play a role as well. U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), the owner of the Bucks, has said he will make a personal financial commitment toward a new arena. But the Bucks also have a role to play in terms of what a new arena, should one be built, needs to have.
"We have been talking to the team," Sheehy said. "The Bucks have a big stake in this. They have to set the parameters of what they need to be a successful franchise."
If a decision is made to move forward, Sheehy said work could potentially begin in 2015.

Today's Plot Point Thursday features Guy Ritchie's 2009 remake of Sherlock Holmes. If you're already familiar with this screenwriting tool, head on straight to the plot points. If you aren't, here's how to use it:
- First, write down each plot beat onto an index card
- Second, arrange the cards into columns so that the card at the bottom of each column is either a major turning point or an Act break
- Finally, evaluate the (sub)plotting & pacing of the story: how did this movie weave together the A story with the B story? How did it alternate action sequences with slower ones? Comedic set pieces and sentimentality? Etc, etc.
This list of plot points is not just meant to help you master screenplay structure. You can also advance your repertoire of screenwriting techniques if you use these plot points along with the Screenplay vs Film analysis of Sherlock Holmes I posted last week.

Screenwriting Structure & Sherlock Holmes
I have always had great admiration for mystery writers. It's not easy to mix clues with red herrings, maintain the suspense, and end with a solution that's not predictable, but still satisfying. It's a skill I've yet to master. Sherlock Holmes, however, is not the best movie to study to learn about mystery writing because it's not a traditional mystery. Usually, a mystery begins with a dead body and the rest of the story is dedicated to discovering who did it and why. In the case of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, there is a dead body–but it comes back to life, and our intrepid detectives must discover how he did it and what is his master plan.
Still, there's a lot to learn from Sherlock Holmes's screenplay structure. All movies require plot twists that take your story in a different, unexpected direction, and mysteries are no exception. Sherlock Holmes is a good movie to study if you are curious about what exactly a plot twist entails. Examine the plot points below. Which incidents take the story into a different direction? Even more importantly, how often do they occur? Mastering the art of pacing will help you avoid writing a second act that drags, and this investigation will certainly help!
I've described Sherlock Holmes as a movie with humor, heart, action & mystery. Normally, if you have something for everyone, your screenplay becomes so diluted, that you end up pleasing no one. But Sherlock Holmes succeeds where so many movies have failed. Part of that is due to the chemistry between Robert Downey Jr & Jude Law as well as to Guy Ritchie's directing style…but part of it is also due to the deft intertwining between so many disparate elements. Examining the plot points below should give you insight into how that balance was achieved.
Plot Points from Sherlock Holmes
- A carriage clatters over cobblestones, followed by other carriages. Watson and Inspector Lestrade are inside one while Holmes runs on foot.
- Holmes analyzes a way to overcome a thug in 90 seconds ("Holmes vision"), then punches his opponent and steals his hat and lamp.
- A Satanic ritual with a young female sacrifice is being performed.
- A lookout almost gets Holmes, but Watson puts him in a chokehold.
- Watson & Holmes engage in hand to hand combat, save the young female, and unmask Lord Blackwood as the ritual's initiator. Lestrade chastises Holmes for not waiting for his signal.
- At 221B, Holmes works on a silencer, driving Watson's patient and housekeeper crazy. Watson tries to get Holmes involved in another case. Failing in that, he succeeds in tricking him into meeting his fiancee, Mary, at a fancy restaurant.
- Using his famed deductive skills, Holmes concludes that Mary is a governess, previously engaged, and after Watson only for his money. Mary throws wine at him and storms out. Watson is quick to follow.
- To work off steam, Holmes boxes a giant brute. His heart isn't in it, and he almost yields, until he realizes Irene Adler is present. He uses "Holmes vision" once again and fells the giant.
- Blackwood's dying request is to see Holmes. En route to the prison house, Holmes and Watson argue, but eventually patch up.
- Blackwood brags to Holmes that "a large game is a afoot," and asks Holmes to join him. Holmes refuses.
- Blackwood's hanged. Watson pronounces him dead.
- Irene sneaks into Baker St and pays Holmes to find a ginger midget named Reordan. It's clear Irene and Holmes share a romantic past that didn't end well.
- Although she acted as if this was her own case, Irene's been hired to get Holmes involved by a man in black. In disguise, Holmes is able to discover her deceit.
- A police officer informs Holmes that Blackwood has risen from the dead. Holmes and Watson inspect Blackwood's grave and discover the ginger midget Irene asked Holmes to find inside Blackwood's coffin.
- A gypsy tells Watson that his life with Mary will be awful — but she's no fortune teller, just a prank orchestrated by Holmes.
- At a pawnbrokers, Watson gets an engagement ring and Holmes gets the address for the ginger midget.
- When they inspect the midget's lab, they discover he was working on projects for Blackwood. Two arsonists arrive to destroy the evidence; they are joined by the muscle of the operation, Dredger.
- A long fight sequence ensues. Holmes fights Dredger while Watson fends off the two arsonists. With a miniature lightening rod, Holmes defeats Dredger and chases him to the docks.
- Dredger breaks the rod, battles with Holmes, and finally unmoors a giant ship which almost kills Holmes. Watson saves him in the nick of time.
- Holmes & Watson bicker in the jail yard. Mary bails Watson out, while "friends in high places" blindfold Holmes and take him to a secret location.
- Despite the blindfold, Holmes knows he's in the home of Lord Rotheram, head of a secret society that claims to steer the world behind the scenes. Blackwood is Rotheram's son.
- Lord Rotheram and two other members of the society, Coward and Standish, show Holmes a book of spells they claim give Blackwood his power. They charge Holmes with finding Blackwood before he kills again.
- Holmes visits Irene in her hotel room and tells her that the midget's dead and that he saw her in Professor Moriarty's carriage. He threatens to take her to the railway or the police station, but she drugs him and ties him to the bed.
- Rotheram boils in his copper bathtub, a murder orchestrated by Blackwood.
- The police rescue Holmes and take him to Rotheram's in order to investigate his murder.
- Coward reveals himself to be in league with Blackwood and nominates him as new head of the secret society. Realizing the society actually engineers evil instead of good, Standish tries to kill Blackwood, but when he pulls the trigger of his gun, he sets himself on fire and dies.
- Holmes examines the dead body of one of the arsonists to deduce that Lord Blackwood can be found at a slaughterhouse near the river.
- At the slaughterhouse, Watson and Holmes save Irene from being sawed in half. As they chase after Blackwood, a bomb explodes. They all survive, but when police arrive on the scene, one of them warns Holmes that Coward has issued a warrant for his arrest.
- Moriarty threatens Irene. She must find the machine Reordan was building for Blackwood or Holmes will die.
- Horrified by Watson's injuries, Mary pleads with Holmes to solve the case, whatever it takes.
- Holmes performs a ritual from the book of spells. When he wakes, Watson and Irene are there to help. Using his deductive reasoning, Holmes concludes that Blackwood's final act will occur at Parliament.
- As Lestrade arrives to arrest Holmes, Watson and Irene escape.
- Lestrade pretends to be a member of the secret order and brings Holmes to Coward. Holmes confronts Coward about the plan to kill Parliament. When Coward tries to shoot him, Holmes jumps out of the window and into the river…
- …where he is picked up by Watson and Irene. They investigate the sewer underneath and discover a crude chemical warfare machine.
- As Blackwood threatens Parliament, Holmes, Watson & Irene fight off thugs.
- As Irene and Holmes try to disarm the machine, Dredger appears. Watson and Holmes must deal with him, leaving Irene to take care of the machine.
- Irene is successful, saving Parliament. She leaves the sewer, having stolen some of the dangerous biological chemicals. Holmes chases her onto London Bridge (in the process of being built).
- Irene is about to tell Holmes everything when Blackwood appears and knocks Irene over the bridge. Holmes and Blackwood fight. When Blackwood gets caught in a rope, Holmes explains all of Blackwood's conjuring tricks. Blackwood hangs himself with the rope.
- As they perch on the bridge, Irene tells Holmes not to underestimate Moriarty.
- Holmes gives Mary a large engagement ring (he pinched it from Irene) and explains how Blackwood pretended to hang himself at his execution. Later, they are informed that Moriarty has killed a police officer, and the case is reopened…setting up a sequel…

you just have to play a sports game for the pure joy of it and forget about the
realistic side of the sport. The FIFA 10 release for the Wii combines some pure
arcade elements wrapped around some of the more exciting elements of the sport
to give up a game that will certainly not seat itself in the real world, but
will provide enjoyment nonetheless.
GameZone saw the game over the summer, it was treated to a fast-paced contest
that knew when to go into slow motion to highlight great shots or great saves.
There was the Wii-mote waggling at key moments to drives some of the action, but
the game – in spite of the 11-versus-11 games – had a very arcade feel. When it
comes to this particular SKU of the FIFA video-game license that is a very good
FIFA Soccer
10 on the Wii may seem barebones when it comes to the modes of play offered. Hit
the Pitch is the Wii version of instant play, and Battle for Glory passes as the
season mode. There is also a tournament mode for those who wish to battle
through a league championship series. The game also sports a plethora of teams
and leagues, so those looking for action as their favorite team from the English
Premiere leagues, or the Bundesliga should have no problem.
Many of the
changes implemented in this game were the direct result of fan input. Player
movement has been improved dramatically and the control reaction time has been
tightened up markedly. There are three ways to control the game: You can use the
Wii-mote alone, in concert with the nunchuk or in the classic controller setting
(basically you eliminate the advantages of the Wii controllers and go with a
more stock control set). While classic is fine, the nunchuk addition provides
greater control range over the players and action.
As with any
game from EA Sports that allows players to work through a season, there is the
opportunity to improve your team's abilities and actually become more skilled in
set areas. When you begin a match, you are asked to pick three areas for
improvement. As you play through a match, if you complete the tasks associated
with those areas you will receive stat boosters. Failure to complete the tasks
means that the stats in the chosen areas decrease. Points can also be earned to
open new booster packs for stat improvements in key areas. While this may sound
a bit convoluted, it actually is rather intuitive and works nicely in the
context of the game.
Another area
where improvements have been made is in the multiplayer. The online experience
has received attention and two-versus-two gameplay has been added to the mix.
And that means that two people on one console can play online against two people
on another console. That should make for some robust gaming sessions and
first-rate online games.
The game
also sports a new visual style, which borders on a more arcade-like look. And
the crowds get much more into the game, reacting to action much more.
While the
game does not have the depth of the other consoles, it is not a bad title and
the gameplay is decent. FIFA Soccer 10 is not what every FIFA fan will want –
especially those craving more realism in their game – but it does provide a nice
bit of entertainment in the world of soccer and might actually have a broader
appeal among those seeking a fun way of enjoying the sport with friends.
Gameplay: 7.5
The game controls
well but the lack of gaming modes may be of some consternation to those seeking
a more robust experience.
Graphics: 8.0
The game sports a
more arcade-like visual style, going with the slow-motion animation for hot
shots, but it all works well together and provides an entertaining visual
Sound: 7.0
Martin Tyler and
Andy Gray are superb as the commentators, but the musical score is lacking.
Difficulty: Medium
Concept: 7.0
A lot of
improvements have been made to the Wii portion of the franchise, but the overall
game options, in terms of playable modes, seems a little bit on the skimpy side.
Multiplayer: 7.5
same-console action and online play is fine as well.
Overall: 7.2
It would have
been nice to have more modes of play, but what is offered here is an improved
over previous Wii iterations. Still, for a nice arcade-like take on the FIFA
franchise, this Wii version does a nice job.

IOLA, Kan. (AP) — A southeast Kansas man has won a seat on the Allen County Commission thanks to the luck of a draw.
The Iola Register reports Jerry Daniels and Jim Mueller were vying for the Republican nomination in last week's primary election.
A recount by hand confirmed the initial electronic tabulation of a tie, with each candidate receiving 255 votes. So on Monday, County Commission chairman Jim Talkington reached into a bowl and pulled out a slip of paper with Daniels' name.
Mueller, of Moran, said he won't seek a second recount.
Daniels, who lives in Humboldt, doesn't have a Democratic opponent in November's general election, meaning he'll fill a vacant seat on the commission in January.

Offering an unusual and dynamic sound that strays around the realm of pop and indie rock, local band Split Seconds promise a much heavier presence on Melbourne's music scene in 2016, with a new album due out in late March/early April.
The band is made up of four members: Sean, Rhys, James and Barrie. Despite all four living in the north, none of the boys are native Melburnians, with three of the four originally from Perth and the newest member, Barrie, hailing from England.
It was actually in a small room in an overcrowded share house in England that Split Seconds found its beginnings, with lead singer Sean Pollard penning the band's first few songs alone.
It was on returning to Perth, Australia, that he realised he needed someone to help play them.
"I just got my mates together… wasn't really crazy, it was just a few beers in the back shed and then all of a sudden we had a band," Pollard said.
And as easy as that, Split Seconds was formed.
"We'd all been in different bands," Pollard added, whose own first on-stage experience was playing a New Years Eve gig at Perth's High Park Hotel when he was just 17. All underage, Pollard and the rest of the group snuck in to play from atop a pool table.
"I don't think we even had a name. It was very shambolic, it was rubbish, complete rubbish actually."
But that was a few bands and a Euro trip ago. Split Seconds modest success would suggest that this time around it's a pretty good fit.
Since their first track there has been some evolution to the pace and composition of the songs, much of which Pollard credits to a change in environment and the opportunity to play new venues.
"When we first got together it was a lot slower, I guess because I had written all the songs in a little room in London. They were very quiet because I had to be quiet."
As Split Seconds started to play at festivals and to bigger audiences, they learnt to adjust, "bashing it out" a bit more and adding more of a pop influence.
"It's just kind of evolved, it's been informed by what stages we were playing and it's moved into somewhere different now, the new stuff we're playing is a lot more jangly," he said.
Their newest tracks also seem to promise something different, with Pollard drawing heavily from his personal experiences.
"It's a lot more honest than anything we've done before, it's almost embarrassingly honest for me, I've been sitting on these songs for a while," he said.
The band has taken somewhat of a sabbatical from the live music scene to concentrate on the upcoming album but once that is out, fans can expect to see Split Seconds on stage a lot more often.
One place to look might be Fitzroy's Gasometer.
"It's a really cool place, it's kind of turned into such a nice music venue… It's really my favourite venue to play," Pollard said.
Music is still a side gig for the guys, but long term their goal is a simple one.
"I think we would just like some longevity as a band. It's easy to get caught up when you're a youngish band," Pollard commented.
"To have three albums, four albums under our belt and still tour and be able to have a beer with each other at the end of it, that's the main aim I think."

It's a clear, perfect day, blue of sky and warm of sun, the kind of day that can only be found in the Sunday comics. What could possibly go wrong on a day like this? Quite a bit if your name is Charlie Brown.
The Fort Gordon Dinner Theatre will present You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, based on the comic strip by Charles M. Schultz, weekends through May 27.
"We think this show is very timely," said director Steve Walpert. With Charles Schultz running his last strip and dying, we thought it would be a great time to do this. As a piece of theater it has always been timeless and now it also allows us to pay tribute to Mr. Schultz."
Part of the challenge with staging You're A Good Man Charlie Brown is bringing the two-dimensional Peanuts world into the real world, where beagles can't dance and little boys with oversized bald heads rarely turn out for casting calls.
"The actors really have to suggest the traits of these characters," said Mr. Walpert. "If they try to mimic them it won't work. It comes down to that thing that always has to happen in theater -- the willing suspension of disbelief."
To further suggest the world of Linus, Lucy, Snoopy and Charlie Brown, the Fort Gordon set has been designed based on the original comic strip drawings. All the hallmarks are there, Snoopy's doghouse, the stoop at Charlie Brown's house and the pitcher's mound that was the setting for so many baseball humiliations.
"We've tried to re-create or at least suggest the way Charles Schultz drew things," Mr. Walpert said. "We're trying to be as authentic as we can."
For the actors, the reward comes from taking these iconic characters and breathing life and some of their own personality into them.
"I didn't really read any comic strips to prepare for the role," said Nichole Kuehl, who plays perpetually-cranky Lucy in the play. "But you know, everybody knows Lucy. The thing I find myself concentrating on is doing the face. I'm trying to employ a lot of facial features that I think convey her crabbiness."
Ms. Kuehl said the play succeeds not because it is fraught with hidden meaning and symbol, but rather because of its innate simplicity.
"This really is just endearing," she said. "It's so simple, but like the comic strip has so many truths. There's just something about these little kids that speak with adult mannerisms."
There is also something about the raptures of a beagle breaking out into a spontaneous soft shoe at the thought of dinner, a tender ballad of unrequited love sung to the quiet strains of Beethoven and the unquestioning love shared between a boy and his blanket.
Cast members said that You're A Good Man Charlie Brown is most successful as entertainment.
"Really, that's what's most important to me," said William Jones, the production's Snoopy. "Entertainment with me is a big thing. I like people to be happy. I mean everybody has their own lives and problems but I like that I can distract them from that."
What: You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, presented by The Fort Gordon Dinner Theatre
When: Dinner at 7 p.m. and show at 8 p.m. today and Thursday, May 19 and May 24-26
Where: Building 32100 on Third Street at Fort Gordon
Admission: $25 per person. Call 793-8552.

The Toronto Tabla Ensemble:
This critically acclaimed independent band from Toronto, Canada, is a total music experience. The TTE has developed its own powerful style using rhythms from India, while exploring contemporary musical landscapes with artists from other cultures. Staying true to form, content and feeling, the TTE moves what is traditionally a solo instrument to an unparalleled level of ensemble work. Playing to sold out audiences since 1991, this influential voice in Canadian music, brings together the north Indian percussive tradition of tabla, with some of Canada's best music and dance groups.
The Album:
ALANKAR (v. – to embellish, adorn), aptly describes this long awaited, sixth CD from the Toronto Tabla Ensemble. Ritesh Das has created rhythmic compositions that drive the contributions of Canada's best musical artists. The pieces reflect the versatility of this most expressive percussive instrument, and travel through traditions, continents, cultures and profound emotion.
Donald Quan, Ian de Souza, Kevin Breit, Rose Kazi, Aline Morales, Kathleen Kajioka and Hari Krishnan, have created music with Ritesh, and together, they take the Toronto Tabla Ensemble to some very unexpected places!

Alas, finding the point in history at whichthe kernel regressed might take a lot more time than to actually fix itthen. In that case, maybe give the author of the bug an estimate of thevolunteered hours that were spent on reporting this bug, to put therepercussions into it into perspective. OTOH I suspect a lack ofresponsibility at the developers is not so much an issue here, more sothat the number of people who take the time for -rc tests (not tomention linux-next tests) _and_ to file reports is rather low. Plus, agood bug report often requires experience or good intuition, besidespatience and rigor.There were discussions in the past on how more enthusiasts who arewilling and able to test prereleases could be attracted. But maybe(just maybe) there are more ways in which the developers themselvescould perform more extensive/ more systematic tests.-- Stefan Richter-=====-==-=- -=== -==-=http://arcgraph.de/sr/

Visibility Enumeration
Specifies the display state of an element.
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
Elements that have a Visibility value of Collapsed do not occupy any layout space. By default, elements are Visible.
This example shows how to change the value of the Visibility property.
The first example, which is Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), defines a TextBox and places it in a StackPanel element. Three Button controls represent the three enumeration values of the Visibility property: Visible, Hidden, and Collapsed. When a user clicks any of these buttons, the click triggers an event in the code-behind file that is associated with the Button. The Visibility state of the TextBox is changed to match the value associated with the Button.
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2" Background="White"> <DockPanel> <TextBlock FontSize="20" FontWeight="Bold" DockPanel.Dock="Top" Margin="0,0,0,10">UIElement.Visibility Sample</TextBlock> <TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Top" Margin="0,0,0,10">Click the buttons below to manipulate the Visibility property of the TextBox below.</TextBlock> <StackPanel DockPanel.Dock="Left"> <Button Name="btn1" Height="25" Click="contentVis">Visibility="Visible"</Button> <Button Name="btn2" Height="25" Click="contentHid">Visibility="Hidden"</Button> <Button Name="btn3" Height="25" Click="contentCol">Visibility="Collapsed"</Button> </StackPanel> <StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center"> <TextBox Name="tb1" Width="100" Height="50">A TextBox</TextBox> <TextBlock Name="txt1" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="14"/> </StackPanel> </DockPanel> </Border>
The following code-behind file handles the Button Click events that the previous XAML example defines.
private void contentVis(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { tb1.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible; txt1.Text = "Visibility is now set to Visible."; } private void contentHid(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { tb1.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Hidden; txt1.Text = "Visibility is now set to Hidden. Notice that the TextBox still occupies layout space."; } private void contentCol(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { tb1.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed; txt1.Text = "Visibility is now set to Collapsed. Notice that the TextBox no longer occupies layout space."; }
Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003

In the Press
Welcome to Dragonflies and Damselflies of the New Forest, a site dedicated to the enormously rewarding pastime of tracking, identifying and photographing these most beautiful of insects. The New Forest on the South Coast of England offers one of the most diverse array of species in the UK, and has become a popular holiday destination for Dragonfly enthusiasts.
Today, 74% of the UK species can be found in the New Forest and neighbouring East Dorset, providing a wealth of photographic opportunity throughout the summer months.
My name is Doug Overton and I started filming and photographing Dragonflies in 2003. Since this time I have developed a number of techniques for photographing dragonflies in their best light, both perched and in-flight.
Over this period I have also identified a multitude of ideal spotter locations in the New Forest and East Dorset, with a list of perfect 'hot spots' on record for spotting all popular species.
Few hobbies are as rewarding as those which combine the tranquillity of relaxing by sun blazoned forest ponds, the excitement and anticipation of seeing a rare species, and the joy and fulfilment of capturing it on camera.
I am not a scientist, nor entomologist, and as such please don't expect to be blinded by science and jargon, or to be overwhelmed with ecological information or migration patterns! There are many more valuable sites of this nature on the web for those who are interested. This site sets out to share my photography and video footage, along with the associated techniques with fellow enthusiasts.
To accompany the media I have included references to flight times, behaviors and locations that have all been derived through my own personal experience.
Many of the photographs included are a result of many patient hours spent sat in mud, poised with a camera waiting for an opportune moment to take the perfect shot.
I do hope you enjoy the site and all of its features; I am always delighted to hear feedback from visitors, and welcome contributions from fellow enthusiasts to the discussion forums.
As time progresses I will be adding more media, features and species to the site, and expanding the location maps with new exciting spots in the New Forest and SE Dorset areas. While this site is predominantly focused on species in the Hampshire and Dorset areas, I am always interested to hear of species from other regions in the UK, or worldwide.

Kristy's Bio
Hi there!
My name is Kristy and I am a full time special education teacher for Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. Along with my teacher's license, I also have a B.S. in Speech-language Pathology.
Throughout high school I held numerous babysitting jobs and I became a nanny for 3 years while in college. I completed light housekeeping, cooking, provided homework help, and cared for a 4 month old and 10 year old. I have also worked at School 54 and Franklin High School in Rochester, NY as a tutor and mentor.
As a requirement to graduate with my B.S. in Speech Pathology, I had to complete 2 semesters of speech therapy at our on campus clinic. I provided speech services to two five year olds, an eight year old, and ten year old. It was an amazing experience!
In the last year, I have completed my
student teaching assignment, graduated
from UNCC with my teacher's license, and received my first full time job!
Working as a special education teacher has really helped me learn a lot and elevated my passion for teaching children!

I seriously don't see the big issue about Teemo, I find him trivial to deal with. His shrooms aren't even that bad, whenever I'm playing Shaco and I have oracles on I can see them and if it's a bush I just pop a turret in to take the hit.
Hey everyone
BFT itself is pretty broken whether you have Teemo or not.
He's useless? Well, except for free wards, invisibility passive, huge movement speed, blind, on hit poison that hurts like a bi^&$ and being one of the best 1v1 champions, then yeah, he's kinda useless.
He's a very powerful champion, that's why people hate him.
Its because... hes gawddamn Teemo! Everytime I'm like "alright we need a tanky top" I see... "Don't worry I got this... *picks Teemo with Heal/Clarity*"
Then yesterday... "Can you jungle? We and my friend are duo queued so I'd like to support him."
"I can't jungle."
"Well its a good time to learn! WW's free, he's easy to jungle with. Pick him!"
*Picks Teemo with smite and instalocks*
Teemo is just a magnet disaster! He's fun and easy and cute and attracts newer players and nooby ones. He's like Kirby in smash bros.... cute, easy to learn/play, fun/entertaining moveset! Except Kirby isn't a complete dick with shrooms and isn't completely useless in teamfights! *pant* *pant* Okay I got that out of my system.
It's because every time you step on a mushroom, a little piece of your soul is eaten up.
teemo is hawt, hes good at 1v1 and kitting with his shrooms.
In Domi, it's actually pretty easy to fuck his mushrooms, you just need to stop on 1 or 2 before basing. I usually do that, especially if he's botting and I am too.
Early game his mush will do nothing and mid/late game you just auto attack them, assuming you have ad, and you one shot the mushrooms and no damage from it.
I've killed Teemo as AP CDR-capped Sona.
You just need to get the jump on him.
37 + (3*7) + (3*7)W/L/Death count: Wolf: 0/1/1 | Mafia: 1/6/7 | TPR: 0.5/4.5/5SK: 0/1/1 | VT: 1.5/3.5/5 | Cult: 1/0/1
Because i just want to punt the little shit.
"Would you please let me join your p-p-party?
And if you do manage to get a blind on him, hopefully the guy has a big enough brain to get mercs meaning 1.5sec blind, and most ADs has a skillshot (Ez, Corki, Graves, etc etc) with a ton of damage outside of their auto attacks. So what you accomplished is 1.5sec of no auto's from the Carry all meanwhile you're dead and the bruisers are now beating on your team.
He's useful for trolling and shutting down Singed top. Oh, and splitpushing, because, why not. Nothing else. Against any competent team you can't shroom up barons etc without them being destroyed meaning they're just a bunch of mini wards with very little vision. You cant use them to their full potential (damage, setting up fights near a heavy-shroomed area), no one's gonna go for that.
*Ye-yeah, but what about AP?* You say? Well, after DFG nerfs all he has is his Blind burst wich, as said, falls off later on.
So broken in TT, i just had a match against and with one, all you could see on the map between 1 altar and another altar was freakin' shroons, you just stepped over and over and over *dead*. Fucking annoying. I was like "thank god he don't have BFT".
"Defending a position by citing free speech is the ultimate concession: you're saying that literally the most compelling thing you can say for it is that it's not illegal to express."

New owners bring Bill Marimow back to The Philadelphia Inquirer
Bill Marimow is returning to The Philadelphia Inquirer. Marimow, a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, was editor of the Inquirer from 2006 to October 2010, when he was removed from the position by Greg Osberg the day before new owners took over.
The Inquirer's Bob Warner reported at the time that Osberg wanted a leader with expertise in digital and print journalism.
Marimow said then, "The new CEO has the absolute prerogative to select an editor, and Greg has exercised his prerogative. ... It's a prerogative I understand and respect."
In June 2011, Marimow went to Arizona State University to lead the Carnegie-Knight News21 digital journalism program.
Now the new owners are bringing him back.
In a telephone interview, Lewis Katz and George Norcross, two of the local investors who now own the papers, spoke of the need to restore the Philadelphia properties.
"First, you build employee morale," said Katz. "You get a team going, the team buys into the business model or recommends changes. Secondly, you have patient capital so the banks don't get in the way. Third, you need luck. Luck that your business model doesn't face terrible economic times or terrible high interest times."
They need to make sure, Norcross said, that the newspapers can "compete with the nation's great publications."
"There's no conflict between making money and having a civic responsibility," said Katz. "To exercise a civic responsibility you have to make money." Newspapering, he said, "is a very expensive proposition."
"I think you're going to find specific evidence of our investment in this enterprise in a multimillion-dollar way," Norcross said. "We're not cutters, we're people who want to grow."
Contrary to recent reporting, Norcross said, the company is not planning future layoffs. That "was one of the things that was written about in blogs and picked up by the mainstream media that frankly was not accurate."
Previous layoffs had committed the former owners to a certain amount of severance, Norcross said. "We wanted to be certain that money would be escrowed."
"We really don't know until we get into the nuts and bolts whether there will be any more cuts," Katz said. "It's not our intent to start cutting."
The new owners' pledge not to interfere with editorial, Katz says, came about because "there was some controversy. We knew we weren't going to interfere. Frankly, I thought a public statement was enough, but George felt stronger that it ought to be in writing."
Both say they're committed to putting money into the paper, which Norcross said could take the form of increased personnel or physical improvements. The news organizations' new headquarters, he says, will occasion "almost $25 million" in capital spending; they have pledged up to $10 million on top of that.
Here's the memo to staff from Greg Osberg:
I just met with Stan and his Editorial Management to announce that Bill Marimow will be rejoining The Inquirer as Editor. Coming off the IRE award for investigative journalism and a decision to increase our commitment and resources to investigative journalism, we decided that Bill would be an excellent choice to lead that charge. As many of you know, Bill did an outstanding job for us in his investigative reporting of the SRC and former Superintendent Ackerman before leaving us to teach at ASU's Walter Cronkite's School of Journalism last year. We're happy he has decided to rejoin The Inquirer and we welcome him back to his hometown….Philadelphia.
Stan will remain with The Inquirer as one of the key Executive Editors on Bill's team. I want to personally thank him for his leadership through a challenging period in our company's history and for deciding to help us as we go forward with new ownership.
Bill will be starting on May 1st. Please join me in welcoming him back to PMN and thanking Stan for his many contributions. The press release is attached for your review.
Press release
Signaling to readers and leaders alike that investigative journalism will be a key to the company's revival, Philadelphia Media Network Publisher and CEO Greg Osberg announced today that William K. Marimow, one of the most distinguished journalists in the company's history, will return as Editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Marimow, who earned two Pulitzer Prizes as an Inquirer reporter in 1978 and 1985 before returning to serve as the newspaper's Editor from 2006 to 2010, will return again to lead an expansion of the newspaper's investigative journalism work – a central element in the company's plan to produce ever-more compelling content to boost circulation and readership.
Marimow's rehiring was announced just two days after the company's new local ownership group pledged a policy of strict non-interference with news decisions.
"Bill Marimow is one of the most respected journalists in the nation, and his return reinforces the company's commitment to aggressive investigative reporting," said Osberg. "The message today is that we are going to devote even more time and resources to reporting the high-quality stories that our readers deserve and demand. And to be clear: When the facts warrant it, nobody will get a free pass."
"Bill is the best in the business to lead this effort, and it is great news for our readers and for our journalists that he is back in the fold."
Current Inquirer Editor Stan Wischnowski will remain with the newspaper and continue working as part of the newspaper's editorial leadership team, serving as one of Marimow's top deputies. Marimow is expected to begin work on May 1.
"I'm tremendously excited about returning, once again, to my home town and to The Inquirer," Marimow said. "It will be a privilege to work alongside newsroom colleagues who have continued to produce great journalism despite the toughest economic conditions I've ever experienced.
"My goal is to make sure that we're producing indispensable content in print and on-line that our audience will have to read," he said. "We have to be excellent in every nook and cranny of our coverage – whether it's scrutinizing our schools, the quality of the Eagles draft choices, or the Van Gogh exhibition at The Philadelphia Museum of Art.
"I'm also looking forward to continuing my close working relationship with Stan Wischnowski, who has led The Inquirer newsroom with skill and determination over the past 18 months," Marimow said. "During my time as editor, I relied on Stan for his guidance, creativity and expertise, and I know I'll be doing so again in the months to come."
Marimow, 64, has been teaching journalism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Arizona State University since last year. Before that, he worked as an investigative reporter for the paper after stepping down as Editor in 2010. Marimow was Managing Editor and Vice President of news for National Public Radio from 2004 to 2006, and served as metropolitan editor, managing editor and Editor of The Baltimore Sun from 1993 to 2004.
His journalism career in Philadelphia reaches back over four decades to April 1970, when he joined The Evening Bulletin as the assistant to syndicated economics columnist J.A. Livingston. He joined The Inquirer in July 1972 as a reporter covering business. For the next 15 years he reported on a variety of issues, including economics, labor, City Hall, and the courts. Marimow and a partner, Jonathan Neumann, wrote a series of stories about criminal violence by Philadelphia police officers that earned The Inquirer the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 1978. Seven years later, he won the Pulitzer for Investigative Reporting for a series of stories about police K-9 officers whose dogs attacked and mauled innocent, unarmed citizens.
He will return to a newspaper that has continued to produce outstanding investigative journalism. Most recently, on Monday it was announced that The Inquirer won the prestigious Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) Award for its seven-part series "Assault on Learning," focusing on violence in Philadelphia schools.
"We believe that Philadelphia Media Network can become the most dominant regional media company in America," Osberg said. "Bill Marimow's return is an important step in the right direction, and we are delighted to have him back."

Director's Corner
We've successfully navigated the renewal process for the second round of funding of the Clinical and Translational Science Award, and I'm very proud of what we've accomplished during our first five years.
I'm pleased by the enthusiasm demonstrated by my colleagues across the medical campus as well as the level of financial and programmatic support we continue to receive from Yale-New Haven Hospital and the School of Medicine. Dean Alpern has made exceptional contributions that include actively recruiting outstanding faculty members, expanding research infrastructure, developing new translational programs, and providing funding for our programs and core research resources. His support has played a major role in our achievements so far. Our collective efforts are paying off; almost $200 million per year of Yale's NIH grant support is now directly connected to YCCI.
I'm confident that the next five years will bring as many exciting changes as we've seen during the first grant cycle. As Yale's clinical and translational research community – along with the number of research studies – it conducts continues to grow, we'll build on our experience to increase support for the programs that have been successful and develop new ones to meet increased demands. Our expanded leadership team and Yale's new IT infrastructure will help us make great strides in translating scientific discoveries into treatments that will benefit patients. Thanks to the hard work and spirit of collaboration we've encountered across the board, I believe we are now positioned to be the engine driving innovative clinical and transitional research at Yale. I look forward to the next five years.

YCCI Director

Network analysis techniques
Andrew Tridgell
It is a fact of life that many protocols and algorithms are less well documented than is needed for a progammer to implement in such a way that it is fully interoperable with existing implementations. While there are many reasons for this lack of documentation, the result is that a programmer is often called upon to dissect an existing protocol to work out how it works. In this talk I will discuss some of the more interesting network analysis techniques that myself and other members of the Samba Team have used over the years.

Police shutdown a suspected meth lab in Chautauqua County on Monday. Investigators searched a home on Washington Avenue in the Village of Fredonia and say they found evidence of a meth lab inside.
Two residents of the location were found inside the home. One of the tenants, 20-year-old Jessica C. Fulmer, was found to be on bench warrants from Village of Fredonia Court and two other locations in Erie County. She was taken into custody and will be held pending arraignment on those charges.
David Bentley of the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force said, "This is an ongoing investigation. Anytime you begin investigating meth labs, more likely than not you're going to encounter more than one. Cooks typically teach other people how to cook, and at this point, we're trying to track down those leads."

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines secured an additional $5 billion in debt shelf from US authorities, sealing all the requirements for its first foreign bond issuance this year which can come anytime until June.
"Yes. We have a $5 billion shelf registration," National Treasurer Roberto Tan told The STAR in a text message late Monday.
A debt shelf acts like a credit line with the balance reflecting the allowable amount of debt an issuer can float in a particular currency.
The government has been waiting for the US Securities and Exchange Commission to grant it shelf registration as it plans to return to the offshore bond market this year.
The fresh amount will be added on top of an undisclosed remaining amount of authority for US debt securities.
Other regulatory approvals have already been secured. The central bank's Monetary Board gave its go-ahead in November last year, while President Aquino approved it last month.
Despite this, Tan said the government would take its time on deciding when to issue global bonds again.
"Our decision to launch a transaction will be based on our assessment that an optimal window exists relative to market conditions," he pointed out.
"So far, we have not made any decision as to the timing of an issuance," Tan said.
The Aquino administration, which steps down in June, has initially programmed to float $750-million global bonds together with a bond swap worth $1.25 billion.
Sought for comment, Jonathan Ravelas, chief market strategist at BDO Unibank Inc., said government may borrow abroad "within the first quarter."
"It could be in March before the next Fed meeting," Ravelas said in a text message.
"Given the market rates are still low, as a borrower, you want to take advantage of it," he added.
The US Federal Reserve will meet from March 15 to 16 to set policy. It left key rates steady this month after hiking them by 25 basis points in December.
The government will also hold the Philippine Business and Investment Forum in New York on March 3.

Is there one? If so, what are we gonna do about it? How will we as a community address this disparity?
There is one, in our opinion. We do not believe there is a question about its existence. The question is-are we, s a community, gonna do anything about it? And, how?
