Here's a look around the Cubs system on Thursday, August 9th. The AZL Cubs and Iowa were both off on Thursday.
Welcome to the Daniel Vogelbach Show as Boise beat Everett in a close one winning 3-2. The aforementioned Vogelbach ended the night 2-for-4 with two home runs, he now has five in his last four games. The Hawks had only two more hits on the evening one belonging to Marco Hernandez and the other a triple off the bat of Izaac Garsez. Garsez would score what would be the winning run when Gioskar Amaya drove him in with a sacrifice fly. Matt Iannazzo got the win in relief pitching two scoreless inning and striking out two. Tayler Scott started giving up two runs on eight hits in five innings pitched. He also struck out six and walked zero. Tyler Bremer recorded his first save pitching two scoreless innings, while striking out three. The Hawks stayed hot on Thursday and are 11-5 in the second half 3.5 games up.
Peoria scored one in the top of the ninth to beat Burlington 5-4. Although Jorge Soler was promoted to Peoria today, he was not in the lineup, but that didn't stop the Chiefs. Zeke DeVoss was 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBIs, and a stolen base. Pin-Chieh Chen only had one hit, but drove in two, including the game winner. Dustin Geiger had two doubles and Bijan Rademacher drove in a run. Joseph Zeller got the start for the Chiefs pitching five innings and allowing four runs, three earned on four hits. Jeffry Antigua pitched well out of relief striking out three in 2.1 scoreless innings. Larry Suarez got his third win of the season striking out one over the final 1.2 innings. It was a good win for Peoria and let the excitement begin as Jorge Soler should be in the lineup tomorrow.
Daytona got down early in game one, but came storming back winning 5-4 in walk-off fashion. The walk-off wasn't quite as exciting as some as it ended on a wild pitch. Ronald Torreyes was 1-for-3 with two RBIs. Javier Baez did not have a hit, but drove in his third run in two days and he stole his first base since being promoted. John Andreoli was 1-for-3 with a run scored and two stolen bases. Christian Villanueva had a nice night as well going 1-for-1 with two walks, a hit by pitch, a run scored, and a stolen base. Rubi Silva and Rafael Lopez each had a hit and scored a run. Robert Whitenack started and struggled early, but really settled down. He gave up four runs all in the first in four innings. Ryan Searle and Jeffrey Lorick combined to pitch an excellent four innings striking out five and allowing only one hit. Lorick picked up the win his second of the season.
Not much good came out of game two as Daytona lost 7-1. Kyle Hendricks started for the Cubs pitching three innings allowing one run on two hits, while striking out three. Kyler Burke and Hunter Cervenka pitched the final four innings in relief and really struggled combining to give up six runs. Not much happening for the offense in this one. Taylor Davis had a double and drove in the lone Cubs run. Elieser Bonne was 2-for-3 with a double and scored the only Cubs run of the evening. John Andreoli and Rubi Silva recorded the only other Cubs hits of the contest. As bad as game two was it was nice to get game one and at least get a split in the double-header on Thursday.
Behind Nicholas Struck Tennessee beat Huntsville 5-3. Lendy Castillo continued his rehab pitching the first inning of this one allowing no runs on two hits. Struck came in relief to get his 13th win. He pitched seven strong innings allowing one run on only two hit and striking out seven. Frank Batista who has been so good recorded two outs, but need help from Brian Schlitter to close out the game. Schlitter recorded the last out and notched his third save of the season. A congratulations goes out to Matt Szczur who hit his first home run since moving to Tennessee. He ended the night 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored, and stole his third base. Logan Watkins was 1-for-2 with an RBI and his 23rd stolen base. Justin Bour is now two RBIs away from 100 as he drove in two more bringing his total to 98. Junior lake and Jae-Hoon both had a double, with Ha also walking four times on the evening. It was a nice win for the Smokies on Thursday.
Thanks for Reading,

Commentary - Nuclear Revival: Don't Bet On It!
Nuclear Revival? Don't Bet on It!
In January this year, Newsweek magazine's cover boldly proclaimed "The Return of Nuclear Power." As I gazed at the cover photo of a glowing red nuclear power plant, I realized that I had seen virtually the same cover-on Time magazine, roughly 15 years ago. The two stories had the same thesis: nuclear power is about to mount a comeback.
Since nuclear construction collapsed in the early 1980s, its return from the dead has been proclaimed at regular intervals, spurred by environmental and economic concerns and by the public-relations efforts of a multi-billion-dollar industry that has had an almost empty order book for over two decades.
None of these "revivals" materialized, but many argue that the latest should be taken more seriously. With oil prices skyrocketing and concern about global warming deepening, scores of editorial writers and policymakers, and even a few environmentalists, argue that we can't afford to discard any energy option with the potential to displace coal, which provides 40 percent of the world's electricity and is the largest threat to the world's climate.
The appeal of nuclear power starts with the fact that it is already a large established power source-the world's 441 reactors have a generating capacity of 369,000 megawatts (MW) that produce 16 percent of the world's electricity. But that is the perspective from a rear-view mirror (see graphs). The industry is now growing at well under 1 percent per year, and the construction pipeline is virtually empty: only 23 reactors, with a capacity of 16,000 MW, are under construction. (In the mid-1980s, more than 200,000 MW were in the pipeline.) Two more reactors were shut down last year, bringing to 116 the total number of reactors that have been permanently taken off line since the age of nuclear power began; that's nearly 35,000 MW. Most of the engineering specialists who built the current fleet of nuclear plants have retired, and many universities have closed their nuclear engineering programs. The relatively conservative International Energy Agency forecasts that nuclear power generation will peak within 10 years and then begin a slow decline.
The industry likes to blame environmentalists for its moribund state. But market forces have done far more to damage nuclear power than anti-nuclear activists ever did. The dramatic collapse of the nuclear industry in the early 1980s-described by Forbes magazine as the most expensive debacle since the Vietnam War-was caused in large measure by massive cost overruns driven by expensive safety upgrades after the Three Mile Island accident revealed shortcomings in nuclear plant design. These made nuclear power plants far more expensive than they were supposed to be. Some U.S. power companies were driven into bankruptcy and others spent years restoring their balance sheets.
Nuclear executives argue that they have learned much since the industry meltdown of the 1980s and that improved technologies will allow them to lower costs. That may be true, though it remains to be proven. Data from the few nuclear power plants completed in the last few years suggest that they produce electricity at roughly twice the cost of new coal and gas plants, both of which have seen steady cost reductions. And the new reactor designs being proposed by some companies are more likely to raise than lower costs in the short run, since the first prototypes are likely to have problems that need to be worked out.
High costs matter at a time when the electric power industry has become more competitive. During the height of nuclear construction in the 1960s and 1970s, the power industry was either owned by the state (as it still is in France) or protected by regulators from its own mistakes, as in the United States. Today, power industry executives in most countries carefully weigh costs and risks before deciding what kind of power plant to invest in. A single nuclear plant requires an investment of roughly US$3 billion, and at least a decade for the planning, regulatory approval, construction, and testing of the plant. U.S. utility analysts say that a power company deciding to build a nuclear plant might see its bond rating lowered to reflect the extra risk it had taken on.
Responding to these concerns, the U.S. Congress passed a law in 2005 that provides additional federal subsidies while also offering liability protection that shifts much of the risk to the federal government. Although this legislation has not yet resulted in any new plant orders, industry observers expect as many as six. That would increase the country's nuclear generating capacity by 5 percent, assuming that none of the 104 nuclear plants operating today is shut down in the decade or more it would take to build the new ones.
With the nuclear construction business virtually dead in North America and Europe, energy-starved Asia is where a nuclear revival is more likely to begin. Indeed, India and China both have ambitious nuclear plans. Up to 30 nuclear plants are planned in each country over the next two decades-which sounds impressive until you do the math. Even if their nuclear dreams are realized, neither country will be getting even 5 percent of its electricity from nuclear power in 2020. This is simply not a significant commitment for countries with populations of well over a billion and electricity demand growing at 10 percent annually.
Globally, nuclear power is more likely to decline than to increase in the coming years, because more than half the world's nuclear power plants are over 20 years old. At least 70 nuclear plants would have to be built in the next decade just to replace those that are projected to be closed. This is virtually inconceivable, given that only 14 are now under construction. Meanwhile, world electricity demand is projected to grow by more than 30 percent (the equivalent of more than 500 nuclear power plants) during this same period.
If nuclear power can't do the job, the question remains: how will the world meet all of its electricity needs without a massive increase in the combustion of coal and the resulting emissions of carbon dioxide? The answer, I believe, is a large-scale commitment to renewable power-including solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass energy-coupled with rapid improvement in the efficiency with which power is used.
Renewable sources of power provide about 20 percent of the world's electricity today, more than nuclear power does. More importantly, they are active, growing industries, attracting over US$25 billion in new investment last year. The generating capacity of new wind plants alone that were ordered in 2005 was triple the figure for nuclear power. And because renewable technologies are smaller scale and modular, their cost is falling rapidly as the scale of production rises. In recent months, renewable power has become one of the hottest sectors for venture capitalists looking for "the next big thing."
Many argue that no matter how promising renewable energy is, we cannot afford to foreclose any options given the magnitude of the economic and ecological challenges now facing us. I agree. Those who are convinced that large-scale nuclear power is viable should go ahead and invest in it, as many governments are encouraging them to. But building nuclear plants today on a scale that would make a serious dent in the world's energy problems is virtually inconceivable. In a world where money is limited and time is short, we would be better off focusing on energy sources that have a better chance of replacing the fossil fuels that threaten our future.
Christopher Flavin is president of the Worldwatch Institute. He has tracked the fortunes of the nuclear power industry since before 1983, when he researched and wrote Worldwatch Paper 57, Nuclear Power: The Market Test.

This is the only non-racking full-width end vise on the market. You can clamp anything anywhere in the vise and the jaws stay parallel.
The chain drive ensures parallelism and eliminates the racking common in other vises. It can be operated using either handle.
Even better, a spring-loaded lock pin lets you disengage the chain for controlled jaw skewing needed to equalize pressure on slightly out-of-square work. Rows of dog holes in the bench top and the side skirts give you clamping capacity equal to the length of your bench plus 12" (the clamping capacity of the vise). This lets you clamp pieces horizontally or vertically.
To build the vise, you
will require two hardwood jaws. The vise is an
easy retrofit to an existing bench, requiring only
the addition of two pieces: an end cap drilled for
the vise nuts and fixing bolts, plus the vise jaw
itself. The aluminum chain cover consists of two
cast end caps and a bridging extrusion, and must
be cut to length for mounting at other than the
maximum spacing.
The vise is available in two models. The standard
vise accommodates vise screw centers up to 16-7/8". For anyone requiring wider jaw capacity, the second model accommodates vise screw centers up to 24", with sufficient chain to match.
The two vise screws, nuts, chain cover, wooden handles and all installation hardware are included with complete mounting instructions. (A 1-1/2" bit is needed to drill four holes.) Excellent value in a powerful vise.
Made in Canada.
*For those of you who would like to retrofit your Twin-Screw vise purchased prior to 2001 with the new aluminum cover, we offer cover kits separately. To retrofit an installed vise, the existing front jaw must extend at least 3/8" below the current plastic cover. Vise jaws that don't have the required depth will require modification (select Instr in the price line below).

25' Cobalt…need to secure stern while hanging out at the sandbar…any spec to know? Seems a small anchor should foot the bill. Any comment, expertise is appreicated…
Any of the anchors on this page would work well.
Personally, I prefer heavier anchors. I would choose the folding grapnel anchor on that page.
I have a 32ft portifino sunseeker what size anchor should I buy??
A Bruce/CQR/Delta is probably the best choice for most applications, for your sized boat. For the CQR, a 25 or 30 lb one would work well. Delta would be 22-35 lb, and Bruce about the same as the Delta. Fluke (Danforth) anchor in the 20-24 lb range would be a good choice for sand or mud.
Hi I have a question what boat anchor should I get for a 20 ft pontoon boat. In pretty calm waters. Alum creek in Ohio. I would like to try to keep the cost down.
In the situation as described, a small Danforth Anchor would fit the bill and be inexpensive.
Either the 8 or 14 pound.
I'm looking for a product that you added to your anchor line. It's a big ball with a couple D rings. So you back up and it pulls the anchor to the ball and you just pick up.
I believe you are looking for a Mooring Buoy.
I owned a 45 feet carver year 2000my anchor need to be replaced
I think is a CQR type stainless steel.
The smallest we have in a Stainless CQR Anchor is 60lb. Your vessel would use a smaller anchor.

In my career as a reporter/editor, I tend to learn things organically, by visiting with people in the community and hearing their points of view.
After all, no person can know everything. Going to the sources, to the experts, and getting to benefit from the knowledge they've accumulated over the years can open a person's eyes in short order.
Have you seen those bumper stickers that say, "I farm. You eat."?
I started seeing them several years ago and thought it sounded like farmers were being a bit egotistical or self-important. But that was before I tried my hand at it.
Before I stopped working full-time about six years ago, I was an avid and loyal customer of the Henry County Farmers Market. Working as many hours as I did prohibited me from having my own garden, but I desperately wanted fresh local produce in the summer, especially garden-grown tomatoes.
Are you one of those people whose ears burn when others mention you in conversation? Does that same weird sensation extend to the times when you hear somebody talking about your locality?
In my case, somebody mentioning my birthplace of Evansville, Ind., can still perk up my ears, even after 20 years of being gone.
Have you ever been stuck in traffic? I don't mean that you were forced to go 55 in a 65. I'm talking about being really stuck. I mean, the car is parked, locked and you're out on the side of the interstate cursing your luck and calling your boss to beg his understanding.
Mark Fassio
Guest Columnist
A few weeks ago the Local published a piece I wrote about the Russian power-grab of Crimea and its fomenting of unrest in Ukraine. With all the attention now ongoing in Iraq and Syria, I thought I'd try to explain what's going on, and why. (My first region of study in the military was the MidEast, and I deployed there twice my career. This is déjà vu all over again.)
McConnell at center of dysfunction
It isn't a surprise that Jon Park would take to the pages of this paper to distort and mislead residents of Henry County on Alison Lundergan Grimes' candidacy for U.S. Senate. After all, Park's candidate – Senator Mitch McConnell – has no record to run on at all.
But let's take a look at the unsubstantiated arguments made and the very important issues conveniently ignored.
By Jon Park
A few weeks ago, a commercial began running with a mother thanking Alison Lundergan Grimes for a bill she pushed through the state house to help our military personnel vote.
Sounds good right?
Problem is, the bill Alison is touting as a crowning achievement of her work as Secretary of State, the Military Heroes Voting Initiative, is not what she had originally sought.
State Senator Damon Thayer, the Majority Floor Leader recently said, "We had to do major surgery to that bill."
Ask any charitable organization and they'll tell you the most precious commodity to come by these days is time. Folks are much more likely to write a check or put together a bag of clothes to donate than allot any of their time to a particular cause.
But the men and women of our county's volunteer fire departments are different.
I hope that our sports editor, Greg Woods, will forgive me. I'm about to step into his turf.
It's my opinion that the world is rarely black and white. Usually issues, especially ones that are social in nature, fall somewhere in the gray middle. And that's a scary place. Most of us don't like to operate in shades of gray because black and white is so much easier.
So here's something I'll never understand on any level — why would anybody want to surrender themselves to the lure of a dangerous drug like heroin?
I felt astounded by the news that Northern Kentucky — a place I'm familiar with due to having family and friends across the Ohio in Cincinnati and having lived there myself — leads the nation in heroin abuse.
It's a safe bet that I'm as sheltered a person as you'll ever meet.
Last month the Secretary of State's office announced that the Republican Party has grown by 4 percent in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Still the minority party in the state, the GOP is growing in voter registrations, and on a steady climb upward.
This past Saturday evening at the 2014 Lincoln-Reagan Dinner, I was pleased to announce that Henry County is no exception to the increase.
In fact, in the past four years, Republican Party voter registration has risen over 10 percent.
Graduating is weird. Seriously, it's one of the most bizarre ceremonies we, as human beings take part in. We wear some ugly robes and hats, trudge across a stage, take a piece of rolled-up paper from some other robe-wearing goons and-voila!-you're an adult.
Ricky Doyle
GOP Candidate, County Judge Executive
Scenic roads, beautiful landscapes, grazing cattle, friendly and hard-working people are just some of the reasons why I like living in Henry County. Often we take for granted the many assets that this county has to offer, but if we want to bring more business into our county, we need to promote our county. All of us should have community investment in the future of our county's growth.
Chris Brooke
"Do you need something to do?" ranks among the top questions that I hate to hear.
Having that query posed to me probably means my features have twisted themselves into an expression of bafflement or irritation.
As someone who likes to stay occupied and keep working towards goals, I want to avoid a lot of downtime.
Fortunately for me, then, the business of setting up my new home means there's been no shortage.
This morning the dust is settling, and after a long campaign season, we have discovered who the winners of partisan primaries are. Those who will advance to the general election in November, and a few who have actually won their elections.
To those who have won their primary and face no opposition in November, congratulations.
The time has come for winners and losers to come together and focus on fighting the common foe.
May has been an exciting month for our cities around the county. Campbellsburg is making real progress in finishing the Community Center, Pleasureville is looking forward to the opening of the Amish Restaurant for lunch only on May 30, Eminence has McDonald's opening on May 29 at 5 a.m. and the Eminence Apothecary has its doors open as well. New Castle is looking forward to the new drug store being open, and Henry County has much to offer to any who might want to check us out.
When the Local reporters go to city council and fiscal court meetings, more often than not, we are the only citizens there. And I honestly feel as though it is the job of the newspaper to attend these meetings and let our readers know what's going on. We're happy to serve our readership in that capacity.
Sometimes, though, I wish citizens would take more interest in local government. I certainly don't expect folks to attend all those monthly meetings, but there is one simple thing people can do to take part in their local government – VOTE.

My relocation to Kentuckiana across the Appalachians from Virginia brought home my hoarding ways.
My wrestling match with all of my stuff to put it on rental trucks left me battered and bruised and exhausted, though not bloodied, at least.
Yes, I said trucks. My wife Beth and I loaded a U-Haul truck way back in February in order to empty out and leave in my parent's basement for the time being.

The U.S. Conference Board's index of leading indicators, an indicator of future economic activity, rose in February by the largest amount in three months. And a key manufacturing reading, the Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing index, rebounded in March from a negative reading in February.
The data helped persuade investors that the U.S. economy is strengthening to a point where it can withstand higher short-term interest rates.
Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen said Wednesday that the U.S. central bank could begin raising short-term rates six months after it halts its bond purchases around year's end. The Fed has been cutting back on those purchases — a key element of stimulus that had kept long-term rates low — in $10-billion increments since December, lowering monthly purchases so far from $85 billion to $55 billion.
Yellen's comment on interest rates helped sink the Canadian dollar by about a cent this past week.
Another source of pressure was Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz, who said earlier in the week that interest rate hikes in Canada could be further away than thought.
He added that a rate cut by the Bank of Canada could not be ruled out.

Workshop Summary Report
About The Event
The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) sponsored a Workshop to engage the UV/optical/Near-IR (UVOIR) astronomy community to discuss its long-term goals for space-based astronomy and astrophysics. The meeting provided the community with an opportunity to look forward on a 25-year horizon to identify the scientific opportunities enabled by large and very large space telescopes.
One of the motivations for the workshop was to outline a path forward that would form the basis for a community-led report to the NRC 2010 Decadal Review Committee. Conveniently, a consortium of regional astronomy and space science institutions hosted an Astro2010 Town Hall at the Johns Hopkins University (just across the road from STScI) on the final afternoon (March 27) of the workshop.
The one-and-a-half-day workshop was held at the Space Telescope Science Institute on March 26-27, 2009. We welcomed participation from the UVOIR space astronomy community, and looked for vigorous discussion to help inform the workshop's summary report.
Immediately following the workshop, we prepared a concise summary of the presentations and submitted it to the NAS Astrophysics Survey Committee within two weeks of the end of the workshop.
The Workshop program was strongly science-based with topics covering: Detection & Characterization of Exoplanets; the Solar System; Local Galactic Neighborhood; Star Formation and Evolution; IGM and Chemical Evolution of Universe; Galaxy Formation & Evolution, and Cosmology: Dark Matter/Lensing/Dark Energy. There were posters and short summaries on future NASA mission concepts proposals, and on advanced technological possibilities for UVOIR telescopes.
Scientific Organizing Committee
The Scientific Organizing Committee: Alessandra Aloisi, Daniel Apai, Chris Blades, Jason Kalirai, Marc Postman, David Soderblom, Remi Soummer and Jason Tumlinson.
The workshop was sponsored by AURA, the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. AURA is a consortium of universities and educational and other non-profit institutions that operates world-class astronomical observatories. AURA's members are 34 U.S. institutions and 7 internal affiliates. To learn more about AURA, please visit their web site.

There's no question that this is a big dinosaur. Humongous, even.
Based on calculations taken from the size of it's femur, this critter stood seven-stories tall, was about 130-feet long, and could have weighed about 100 tonnes or about the same as 14 African elephants, according to Jose Luis Carballido, a palaeontologist at the Egidio Feruglio Museum in Trelew, Argentina.
Dr. Carballido suggests that this may be a new species of Titanosaur, a long-necked, long-tailed sauropod - a Patagonia herbivore - that walked on four legs and lived about 95 million years ago in the Cretaceous period, according to media reports and a statement posted on the museum's website.
The museum has a picture of an average-sized man stretched out next to the sauropod's femur, and he's shorter. The bones, of this as yet unnamed dinosaur, were discovered by local farmers in 2011 in the desert near La Flecha, about 135 miles west of Trelew, and were recently excavated by a team of palaeontologists from Argentina's Museum of Palaeontology Egidio Feruglio, headed by Carballido and Diego Pol.
But is this creature really the "world's biggest" as advertised?
Dr. Paul Barrett, a dinosaur expert from London's Natural History Museum, tells The Telegraph of London that it's premature to be talking superlatives.
Paleontologists have differing methods for calculating size and weight based on incomplete skeletons. Barrett observes that another Patagonia sauropod discovered in 1987, Argentinosaurus, was also labeled the "world's biggest." But initial estimates of its length and weight were later revised downward.
"Without knowing more about this current find it's difficult to be sure," Barrett told The Telegraph. "One problem with assessing the weight of both Argentinosaurus and this new discovery is that they're both based on very fragmentary specimens – no complete skeleton is known, which means the animal's proportions and overall shape are conjectural."
It seems that the calculations by the palaeontologists at the Egidio Feruglio Museum will need some peer review before the "world's biggest" label can be credibly affixed to this find.
But paleontologists in Argentina weren't just talking about large dinosaurs this week.
They found also the first evidence that long-necked, whip-tailed diplodocid sauropods survived well beyond the Jurassic period. The Associated Press reported that Pablo Gallina, a researcher at Buenos Aires' Maimonides University, described the find as the first definitive evidence that diplodocids reached South America, and the most recent geologic record of this branch of sauropod anywhere.
Gallina's team says the fossils show that diplodocids roamed South America during the early Cretaceous era, well after scientists thought these kinds of dinosaurs became extinct. They also suggest that the diplodocid clade, or family group, evolved from other dinosaurs before the Earth's continents split apart, which is earlier than previously thought.
"Diplodocids were never certainly recognized from the Cretaceous or in any other southern land mass besides Africa," the authors wrote. "The new discovery represents the first record of a diplodocid for South America and the stratigraphically youngest record of this clade anywhere."
Paleobiologist Paul Upchurch at University College London, a sauropod expert who was not involved in the study, said it suggests that not all diplodocids succumbed to a mass extinction about 140 million years ago at the end of the Jurassic period.
Another expert, paleontologist John Whitlock of Mount Aloysius College in Pennsylvania, also lauded the finding.
"A discovery like this is more than just another data point. It's a chance to re-evaluate our understanding of how the group spread across the globe through time," he said.
"We can use that information to do things like examine how dinosaurs might have chased their preferred environment around the globe as the climate changed, and that's the sort of research with direct implications for those of us around today."
The research was partly funded by The Jurassic Foundation, formed by producers of the Jurassic Park films. Sebastian Apesteguia, paleontology director at Maimonides University, noted that the characters in Jurassic Park II ride a motorcycle under a diplodocid's legs.
"Until now the diplodocids were thought to be North American dinosaurs. They were the classic dinosaurs from all the Hollywood movies," he said.
Now, it seems there's evidence that the diplodocids behaved like today's North American "snowbirds."

We're not entirely sure where this crash is, we just know the rally marshals who let it happen should all be fired. The first accident with the Golf is part of rallying and probably unavoidable, but the proximity of spectators nearly results in the beheading of the photographer.
Stick around, it gets worse. They then follow up this lapse in enforcement with the kind of safety crewing you get when you have a flat tire: some dude waving traffic away next to a tiny orange triangle.
The lack of marshals around to slow down traffic results in a Subaru WRX flying straight at the accident at full speed. No one was seriously hurt, amazingly, but if I were the guy in the Subie I'd put the hurt on the organizers.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Norodom Sihanouk, the former Cambodian king who was never far from the center of his country's politics through a half-century of war, genocide and upheaval, has died. He was 89.
Cambodian government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said Sihanouk died of natural causes early Monday in Beijing, where he had traveled for medical treatment.
Sihanouk saw Cambodia reel from colony to kingdom, U.S.-backed regime to Khmer Rouge killing field and foreign-occupied land to guerrilla war zone — and finally to a fragile experiment with democracy.
Sihanouk was a feudal-style monarch beloved by his people. But he was seldom able to deliver the stability they craved through decades of violence.
He abdicated the throne in favor of his son Norodom Sihamoni in 2004.

Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary's 2013 Writing Pastors' Workshop was enriched this week by visits from current Kentucky Poet Laureate Frank X. Walker and past Laureate Maureen Morehead. During these special visits, participants listened to Walker and Morehead read poetry, and interacted with them through question-and-answer sessions and story sharing. The workshop was limited to 12 participants— pastors, chaplains and mission workers who came from as far as Nigeria and Zambia to participate in the weeklong workshop held on the Seminary's campus.
After completing her two-year term as poet laureate in 2012, Morehead, a professor of poetry at Spalding University, is in the midst of research on writing as it correlates to health (mental and physical) and spirituality. She shared a reading from Gregory Orr's book Poetry as Survival. She also talked about the mechanics and mood of her poetry and, while those in the room listened with closed eyes and lowered heads, she shared several readings from her books, The Melancholy Teacher and Late August Blues. In speaking about writing as a form of therapy, Morehead said, "We use our writing to order the difficult things, the complicated things, the confusing things."
Walker is a founding member of the Affrilachian Poets, a group of ground-breaking writers in the Appalachian region who've created, and continue to create, a new variety of engaging, vivid poetry. As this year's appointed Poet Laureate, he will promote the arts and lead the state in literary endeavors through readings and public presentations at meetings, seminars, conferences and events, including Kentucky Writers' Day. He writes on the topics of family, social justice, identity and place.
Walker described for the participants how and when he found his 'voice' for writing poetry, a process he attributes largely to his mother, who was a Pentecostal minister. "Everything I write about is an extension of one of the lessons my mother taught me," he said. "When I'm writing, my degrees cannot get in the way," he said of people understanding his poetry. "My writing has to remain accessible." He also shared selected readings from his book, Affrilachia.
"Frank and Maureen both are tremendous writers in a region loaded with gifted writers and poets," said Professor Brad Wigger, who leads the annual workshop. "When Dr. Morehead comes to visit with my classes and workshops, everyone is riveted by her readings."
Of Walker specifically, Wigger said, "I've been a fan for years and have had students at the Seminary reading his work since his book Affrilachia came out in 2000. I'm thrilled to meet him. His new work: Turn Me Loose: The Unghosting of Medgar Evers, is profound."
The annual Writing Pastors' Workshop is designed particularly for pastors and church leaders who see writing as a spiritual practice, an expression of the pastoral imagination and a service to the church and the world. In a small group setting, participants have the opportunity to develop their skills, share ideas and drafts of work, explore possibilities for publication, and—most of all—nurture their passion for writing, while residing and working on Louisville Seminary's campus.
Wigger teaches both writing and education at Louisville Seminary. He has written for general, church, and academic audiences, including numerous articles and essays, books for scholars and children. He was consulting editor for the Jossey-Bass Faith and Families book series and for many years he was the editor of the journal, Family Ministry. Most recently he has been studying creativity and the imagination of children and hopes to write his next book on the subject. See full bio.
Louisville Seminary, in partnership with The Collegeville Institute, offers this workshop for free (including tuition, room and board) to 12 participants each year. Those interested in attending should apply via www.lpts.edu in the spring.
About the Kentucky Poet Laureate
The position of Kentucky Poet Laureate was originally established in 1926 by an act of the Kentucky General Assembly. James T. "Cotton" Noe was selected for the position. Prior to 1990, poets laureate were appointed to lifetime terms by the General Assembly. At times several people held the position simultaneously.
In 1990, new legislation was enacted to provide for the gubernatorial appointment of a state poet laureate for a two-year term. The Kentucky Poet Laureate's duties include promoting the literary arts and leading the state in literary activities.
The Kentucky Poet Laureate is selected following a public call for nominations coordinated by the Kentucky Arts Council. Nominees for this position must reside in Kentucky, have a long association with the Commonwealth, and have a critically acclaimed published body of work that is informed by living in Kentucky. The word "poet" in the position's title is interpreted in its broadest sense to include writers whose accomplishments are in any literary form. An independent panel reviews the nominations and submits its recommendation to the Governor for appointment.
The new poet laureate is usually inducted on April 24 of odd-numbered years in conjunction with Kentucky Writers' Day celebrations.

Taut is a horror game with elements of Silent Hill (visual presentation of the game) and the movies of David Lynch. It's also a "Drama", too, because the story is more or less about humananity but splitted into pieces of many metaphors which are all very psychological and sometimes abstract. In your home town, but (consciously) it shows no discernible name and has similarities to a few different cultures. Why is the town empty? You travel to the one place you find comfort & memories, your school.

Door hardware is an important aspect of commercial buildings. Doors of commercial buildings require a particular kind of attention. It is an important factor that the doors in a commercial building should serve both purposes; they should protect privacy and more importantly, secure the perimeter required.
Each door in a commercial building requires its own set of door hardware. Each fire exit door requires a exit device or mechanical panic bar to be installed on it, amongst other hardware. You can install a panic bar on any door that you want to push to exit. Some additional door hardware that you may need include door trim and exit alarm. You can opt for Detex alarms for your doors. Detex alarms provide you a reliable security measure for an intruder and also act to alert of people(s) using the door that are not supposed to be. An exit alarm is an added security measure that can be included for specific needs. You can find an exit alarm or panic bar for specific security requirements.
One of the most eminent considerations when selecting a panic bar is the trim. If you are having trouble in understanding the entire door hardware elements then it would be a good idea to contact any company that offers quality door products. This will save you a good amount of time and money.
Contractors recommend door hardware products like door closers, locksets, door exit alarms, panic bars, etc. to be installed on interior and exterior doors of a commercial building. They are especially vital for fire exit doors and doors that are only opened from the inside. Some of the other things that should be considered are its aesthetic appeal and looks.

Georg-Raphael Donner
Austrian, 1692–1741
Marsyas Being Flayed by Apollo, c. 1720
25.1 x 21 x 4.1 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with the assistance of the Women's Committee
One of the most versatile and avant-garde sculptors in eighteenth-century Austria, Georg-Raphael Donner was celebrated for his figural sculptures, impressive fountains, and objects d'art. While some of his more monumental commissions celebrate the splendour of the Baroque, Donner's smaller sculptures anticipate the Neoclassical style. The two terracotta reliefs in the WAG collection were likely made for a private collector, given their intimate scale. They document two corresponding and highly popular mythological scenes based on the allegorical musical contest between the hubristic Marsyas, the flute-playing satyr (driven by emotion and passion), and the Greek god Apollo, a lute player representing the power of reason and intellect. The first medallion recounts the competition between Apollo and Marsyas in the presence of King Midas, and the second presents the victorious Apollo as he ties the unfortunate satyr to a tree in preparation for his death by flaying.

London mayor Boris Johnson wonders why the British don't like horse meat, which the French eat loads of.
Amazing! Here are two nations, with roughly the same level of civilisation, with a densely interwoven history, a cognate language – but who have entered the internet age with radically different ideas about eating humanity's eternal helpmeet. In fact, the further you whizz around the world, the more unusual the British scruple seems to be. From Mexico to Kazakhstan, you find people eating horse flesh – and the Chinese manage to chomp through an astonishing 1.7 million gee-gees every year.
This is in reference to last week's revelation that the "beef" in British microwave meal manufacturer Findus's "Beef Lasagne" was in fact 100% horse meat, supplied by the French.
Now, farbeit from me to argue with Boris's well-taken point about delicious horse. The fact remains, however, that the problem here is not horse meat. The problem is mystery horse beef. Put simply, people in Britain eating processed food cannot be certain they know what they are eating, and a degree of anxiety about this situation is quite reasonable.

Shortly after having her ninth baby, an Irish Catholic woman runs into her parish priest.
He congratulates her on the new offspring and says, "Nine children is certainly a full house."
"Well," she replies, "I don't know how I get pregnant so often. It must be something in the air."
"Yes," says the priest, "your legs."

You'd be hard-pressed to find a tournament more special than an Open Championship played at St. Andrews, golf's Holy Grail.
Luckily for all of us, that's exactly what we have going down in Fife, Scotland, this week for the season's third – and oldest – major championship. One spectacular aspect of many British Open venues is that anyone can win. The links courses lend themselves to a host of potential contenders rather than just one favorite. Example: Tom Watson's unlikely run at Turnberry last summer.
(Ed. Note: OK. Who are we kidding? We know. Tiger has to be considered a/the favorite at St. Andrews in spite of everything. He's been the winner of the last two Opens at St. Andrews – an eight-shot romp in 2000 and a five-shot win in 2005.)
Anyway, we all know Tiger hasn't necessarily been on his game this season, though he tied for fourth in both the Masters and the U.S. Open. With that, we asked our PGA.com Facebook fans a basic question for this week's, "A Quick Nine," feature: Who's your pick to win the Open Championship?
Here's what you told us, in order:
1. Tiger Woods. Surprise, surprise. As we said, Tiger has won the last two Opens at St. Andrews. Can he make it a hat-trick this week? Your guess is as good as ours, but he's already proven at the Masters and at Pebble Beach this year that he has the ability to be dangerous at a course that he likes – and, St. Andrews is his favorite.
Facebook fan quotes:
"Tiger will get his 1st come from behind victory." – T.J. McNulty
"Tiger is the man to beat, I think he'll be ready." -- Paul Derrick
"Eldrick Woods will shock the world." -- Paddy O'Shea
"Tiger -- is there anybody else?" -- Greg Blankenship
"Tiger followed by a close Phil three strokes back." -- Peter Lawrence
"If Tiger gets that putter working look out." -- Jim Paavo
"I take Tiger for Major #15." -- June Moore
"Tiger has won twice there and he'll do it again!" -- Luis Anduiza
2. Phil Mickelson. This one surprised us. Clearly, Mickelson is always one of the first two names that come to mind when you're drawing up a list of favorites. But that probably shouldn't be the case for an Open Championship.
Hard as this may be to believe, Mickelson has just one top-10 finish in 16 appearances. That was a third-place showing in 2004 at Royal Troon. Being so close to the No. 1 world ranking, could this be the week Mickelson shakes off the Open rust?
Facebook fan quotes:
"Phil will thrill us all with a first British Open Championship." -- Greg Nuss
"Go lefty. Mickelson will dominate." -- Winter Minteer
"Stickin' with Phil!!!" -- Vanessa Proehl
3. Padraig Harrington. The Irishman hoisted the coveted Claret Jug in two of the last three years – he went back-to-back in 2007-08. The victory at Carnoustie in 2007 made Harrington the first Irishman to win the Open in 60 years and the first ever from the Republic of Ireland.
A proven force in links golf, it will be fun to see Harrington take on St. Andrews. He tied for 20th there in 2000 and did not play in 2005.
Facebook fan quotes:
"Harrington will be the winner, watch this space." -- Adrian Mc Intyre
"I'd like to say Tiger, but I think his ball striking is not quite where it needs to be right now to handle the Open conditions... I am going to go with Padraig... although Justin Rose has been playing well this year... and I guess you can't count out Westwood or Phil... love watching them play the Old Course... should be another great major." -- Chris Candelaresi
"Just to throw a name out there: Paddy Harrington!!! Two-time champ out for a third one." -- Jorge Perez
4. Justin Rose. If Rose could possibly pull off a win at St. Andrews this week it would have to be one of the best stories ever told, don't you think? Talk about a career going full circle. This guy had all the promise in the world as a 17-year-old child finishing in a tie for fourth in the 1998 Open at Royal Birkdale.
The next day, he turned pro and slipped into a monumental slump. Through the years he showed flashes of brilliance, especially in 2007 when he won the European Tour's Order of Merit. Still, he never quite lived up to the hype everyone expected.
Now, however, that may have changed for Rose. He'll head to St. Andrews riding the confidence of two PGA Tour wins – his first two – in his last three starts. And, if it weren't for a bad Sunday in Hartford, Rose could be looking for his fourth straight win this week.
This guy has earned his stripes and he's the hottest player on the planet at the moment.
Facebook fan quotes: "I love Phil but Justin Rose is on a winning streak!" -- Renee Sturkie
"Justin Rose sure seems to have all his ducks in line to post a victory!" -- Greg Burwinkel
"Justin Rose… Not that I am his big fan but he is definitely in a great form." -- Maleek Misbah
5. Ian Poulter. No longer just the guy with the crazy clothes, Poulter is now also the guy with the crazy game and a threat to win any major he tees it up in.
No doubt, there's no major Poulter would rather win more than the Open. And, it's the closest he's come to winning a major yet. He finished second in 2008. Like Rose, Poulter picked off his first Tour win this year and it might be just the extra boost of confidence he needs to get over the top in a major.
Facebook fan quotes:
"No one on this whole forum has mentioned Ian Poulter ONCE! That's my pick for the week." -- Ryan Joseph
"I think it is time for Ian Poulter to surprise us all and not collapse on the weekend." -- Nicole Condit Duncan
"It is about time for Ian Poulter to step up." -- Allan Kinlaw
6. Ernie Els. We would have expected a little more love for Els. There are four players on the Tour this year with multiple wins and the Big Easy is one of them. Also, he's a former Open Champion (2002 at Muirfield).
Add all of that to the fact that Ernie has finished no worse than a tie for eighth in the last four Opens and tied for second at St. Andrews in 2000 and you'd better look out for the South African this time around.
Facebook fan quotes: "Ernie always plays well there!" -- Jeff 'Longball' Richardson
"Ernie...no one is better on the links and out of the bunkers." -- Justin Russell
7. One of the young guns – specifically, Rickie Fowler or Rory McIlroy. Combined, this duo accounts for two Open appearances. Both of those belong to McIlroy. Until this week, Fowler had never played at St. Andrews.
Both of those are pretty bold picks. If you were going to give one the nod over the other though, it would have to be Rory, no? Fowler is a great young talent, but hasn't won as a professional just yet.
Facebook fan quotes:
"I like Fowler or Rory. I think one of these young guys are gonna take it. Tiger won't even make the cut." -- Chris Troiano
"Rory is gonna go way low. Tiger will be the first loser at second." -- Jared 'Jbob' Hans
8. John Daly. We did a double-take too when we read this. But, he did win at St. Andrews in 1995. Could he possibly do it again?
Facebook fan quotes:
"John Daly. At St. Andrews he's money." -- Nicco Faris
"JD... History repeats itself!" -- Stephen Lippold
9. Lee Westwood. Among the big names, Westwood had the least number of nods and we're trying to figure out why that is. He's been knocking on the door at the majors for so long now he's practically put his fist through it.
Mark our words – Westwood is the best player never to have won a major. He sheds that title soon.
Facebook fan quotes:
"Westwood will finally break through and win." -- E.J. Michelson

ORLANDO, Fla. - A local gun show with about 100 vendors may be canceled after the event space learned the organizers had invited George Zimmerman to be a featured guest.
The sign outside The Majestic at 801 North John Young Parkway implies this weekend's gun show is still on. Organizers for "The New Orlando Gun Show" told Local 6 The Majestic canceled their event late Thursday.
"We've had discussions with The Majestic and they decided to cancel the event because George Zimmerman was making an appearance," said Mike Piwowarski, who organized the gun show.
The gun show organizers recently posted on their Facebook page a picture posing with Zimmerman, but the online comments that followed the picture sparked a controversial debate. It's exactly that kind of polarizing debate that caused The Majestic to shy away from allowing Zimmerman at the event.
A Twitter account that Zimmerman has used before tweeted, "another company bowing to threats of being labeled racist. Americans, give them your opinion."
"The New Orlando Gun Show" organizers said they have had a year-long contract with The Majestic, but only recently asked Zimmerman to be the featured guest. Promotions for his attendance created controversy.
"The event center asked us to do a few things when they found out Mr. Zimmerman was present; pull down posts, pull down announcement that he was going to be there. We did all of that when they asked us to do it. They rescheduled the event. Then they later went on to cancel it again, after we complied with all of their requests," said Piwowarski.
If the show remains canceled, Piwowarski and about 100 gun dealers could stand to lose thousands of dollars, which is why gun show organizers plan to go to court tomorrow to try to keep the event running. Piwowarski said his contract said nothing about who can and cannot attend.
Local 6 called and emailed managers at The Majestic but no one has replied.

ON THE CONCEPT OF THE FACE, REGARDING THE SON OF GOD to Make US Premiere at Peak Performances, 2/14-17
Throngs of furious protesters gathered outside Théâtre de la Ville in Paris, while inside, the sold-out theater resounded with thunderous applause. The next night, protesters pelted the audience with eggs and oil as it entered the theater. The uproar was inspired by Romeo Castellucci's adventurous theater company Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio's production of "On the Concept of the Face, Regarding the Son of God." The work has its U.S. premiere at Peak Performances in Montclair, NJ, February 14-17.
Simultaneously frightening, meditative and moving, "On the Concept of the Face, Regarding the Son of God" has been critically described as being as much an art installation or poem as a theater piece. The work, which takes place on an antiseptically white stage with a huge portrait of a quietly smiling Christ hovering behind the couch, explores the relationship between a son and his senile, emotionally fragile, and now incontinent father.
The role of God and the love of Christ in our lives are called into question by the helplessness and frustration experienced by the loving son in face of the father's own humiliating decline. The play challenges its audience not to turn its eyes from its compelling and complex subject matter: love, duty, shame, degradation and faith shared by father and son.
Thursday, February 14 @ 7:30pm
Friday, February 15 @ 7:30pm
Saturday, February 16 @ 8pm
Sunday, February 17 @ 3pm
Performances take place at The Alexander Kasser Theater at Montclair State University, located at 1 Normal Avenue, Montclair, New Jersey 07043. Tickets are $15, and are available at the box office, www.peakperfs.org, or by calling 973-655-5112.
Charter bus service is provided from New York City's Port Authority Bus Terminal - arcade on 41st Street between 8th and 9th Avenues - to the Alexander Kasser Theater ($10 per person, roundtrip) for all Saturday and Sunday performances. Bus reservations may be made by calling 973-655-5112 or by visiting www.peakperfs.org. For train service, available only on weekdays, go online to www.njtransit.com or call 973-275-5555.
ROMEO CASTELLUCCI was born in 1960 in Cesena, Italy. He graduated with a degree in painting and scenography from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. In 1981, he, along with Claudia Castellucci and Chiara Guidi, founded Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio. Since then Castellucci has produced numerous plays for which he serves as writer and director, as well as lighting, set, sound and costume designer. He is internationally renowned as a creator of theater based on the totality of the arts, aimed at creating an integrated perception; he has also written various essays on the theory of directing plays, which trace the development of his vision of theater. His directing is characterized by dramatic lines that consider theater to be a plastic, complex art, rich with visions, a comprehensible language onto itself similar to music, sculpture, painting and architecture. His work has been seen in major theaters and festivals all over the world.
On February 22, 2002 Romeo Castellucci was honored with a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by the Ministry of Culture of the French Republic in the person of Cathérine Tasca. In 2007 Romeo Castellucci was nominated "Artiste Associé " by the artistic direction of the Festival d'Avignon for the 62nd edition in 2008. Here he presented the powerful trilogy Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy. In 2010 Le Monde named the trilogy dedicated to the Divine Comedy the best play and one of the ten most influential cultural events in the world for the decade 2000-2010.
SOCÌETAS RAFFAELLO SANZIO Founded in 1981 in Cesena in northern Italy by the painter and set designer Romeo Castellucci, the musician Chiara Guidi and the theorist Claudia Castellucci, Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio soon established an international reputation as one of the most fascinating contemporary theater companies, renowned for the radical aesthetic and profound humanity of its plays. While inspired by classics of Western culture (works by Aeschylus, Dante and Shakespeare), the theater that Romeo Castellucci and Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio produce follows the performance philosophy of Antonin Artaud where, much more than the text, bodies - often atypical - concentrate and condense meaning in a stage context of thunderous soundtracks and intense imagery. High tech is combined with the age-old crafts of dramatic art to create worlds that transpose reality through a series of diffractions. Spectacular by nature, Castellucci's theater questions the world we live in from an essentially humanist point of view. His previous FTA presentations include Orestea (una commedia organica?) (1997), Genesi: From the museum of sleep (1999) and Hey Girl! (2007). His major works include Tragedia Endogonidia (2002-2004), an 11-episode cycle of tragic theatre and his Dante trilogy La Divina Commedia - Inferno, Purgatorio e Paradiso. The first part was presented at the Avignon Festival in 2008, where he was an associate artist that year.
