This coming weekend's Cubs-Red Sox series has a lot of interesting turns as we approach the historic three-game set.
In Boston, it's being received like a mini-World Series. MLB Network, Fox Sports and ESPN are each carrying one of the three night games on national TV. Tickets are as scarce as any of the Red Sox's World Series runs in 2004 and 2007. The Cubs are planning on having a great majority of their front office and ownership in attendance for all three games. Most of the team's marketing department will also be in attendance.
On the field, however, this series is about two teams that have underachieved. The Red Sox recently went over the .500 mark for the first time all season. The Cubs have been at .500 more times than any team in the majors (10). They have failed, however, to put together a winning streak longer than two games.
Cubs manager Mike Quade has had his experiences at Fenway, having coached in the park with the Oakland A's.
"It can be tough there," Quade said. "But I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to our team playing well. Like Wrigley Field, it's a wonderful place to go."
Quade was asked what he knows about the history of the series going back to 1918.
"1918? I don't much about that," he said. "I think they're going to put me in some old uniform as well."
The Cubs and Red Sox will indeed wear throwback uniforms from the early part of the 20th century during one of the games of the series. Cubs' media relations director Peter Chase said the Cubs would wear an early-century road uniform, but not necessarily one from 1918.
Quade is toying with his lineup as he prepares for the series, which will present his first opportunity to utilize a DH as Cubs manager.
"I'm not sure about left field," Quade said. "I'm pretty well set on my right-handed lineup against [Friday's starter Jon Lester]. Reed [Johnson] and Jeff [Baker] will play. My infield is set [Carlos Pena] will play. My only question is what to do with right field. Do I DH [Alfonso Soriano]? Do I play [Baker] out there? Bake's played mostly right field. [Marlon] Byrd's going to play center. My sense is Reed will play right."
Quade could DH Soriano and put Baker in left. However, Baker's outfield experience is limited and Fenway's Green Monster creates special circumstances.
Johnson, a former Toronto Blue Jay, has the most experience playing on Fenway on the Cubs' roster.
"We will get out there early on Friday and I'll help [outfield instructor] Bob Denier with the outfielders. We'll go over where to play and how to play the carom off the wall, etc."
Quade, for one, thinks worrying about the Green Monster may be a bit overrated.
"The fact is there isn't a lot of ground to cover out there," Quade said. "As long as you know how to play a hard-hit ball carom-wise, sometimes even your shortstop can get the ball on a hard-hit ball off that wall."

St. Patrick was born in either England or Scotland to Roman parents around the year 386. Although he was not Irish, he has become as associated with Ireland as the shamrock, which he used to explain the Catholic idea of the holy trinity. He first saw Ireland as a slave after being captured in his teens by a raiding party. He eventually returned home to his family, but later came back to Ireland to convert pagans to Christianity. He was enormously successful in his work and has become one of the most popular saints in the world.
St. Patrick's Day is about much more than St. Patrick, of course. It is a fun day to celebrate being Irish, or just pretending to be Irish. Spokane celebrates St. Patrick's Day and all things Irish with the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, organized by the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. The parade features music, clowns, dancers, colorful floats, and more. It starts at noon on Saturday, March 14, in downtown Spokane. Click here for the parade route. Arrive early for the best viewing spots, and remember that street parking will be limited; click here for bus schedules.

Running water
Rotarians make sure Ecuadoran school has water
Published: Tuesday, January 4, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 4, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
A project of the Four Seasons Rotary Club brought drinking water and water for sanitary facilities to one of 10 Indian schools in the jungles of Ecuador. Last year two club members, Harold Engelman and Marty Geyer, went to Ecuador to see the need for water. The faucets and toilets had been there for years, but there was no water, Engelman said.
The Rotarians in Ecuador and the parents improved the buildings that were government built just prior to the last general election.
The Four Seasons Rotary Club raised more than $5,000 and the Rotary Foundation gave the club a grant for more than $8,000. Other contributions brought the total to more than $20,000, the amount needed to bring water to 10 schools.
The other nine schools will be completed in February, when the Santa Domingo club will hold a project fair to which local Rotarians have been invited.

Texas Tech turned to what it has done best this season and in the process may have turned around its Big 12 basketball season Wednesday.
The No. 16-ranked Lady Raiders set the tone with their defense and, sparked by solid shooting and balanced scoring, rolled past outmanned Colorado 75-50 for Tech's first Big 12 victory this season after two league losses on the road.
"We knew that we needed to get a win any way we could," forward Keitha Dickerson said. "We were back home, and we knew we had our fans behind us. We just came out and played hard. We're ready to roll right now."
Dickerson and guard Katrisa O'Neal triggered another dominating defensive effort that gave Tech (12-2 overall, 1-2 Bigg 12) control midway through the first half.
O'Neal's steal and layup opened an 11-0 burst that put the Lady Raiders up 20-8 with 9:47 to play. Guard Melinda Schmucker-Pharies scored the final five points on a 3-pointer and another steal and layup. Tech then closed the half with a 10-6 burst featuring Dickerson's steal and layup and O'Neal's 18-footer at the buzzer for a 39-20 lead.
"We talked about setting the tine early in this one, and I really thought we did that with our defense," Tech head coach Marsha Sharp said. "We did get some good shots and knocked down some baskets which really helped us, but I still think the energy we create on the defensive end really gets us going early in games."
Tech avoided an 0-3 conference start in part by scoring 27 points off 23 Colorado turnovers. The Buffs (5-8, 0-2) shot only 39.7 percent. Post Plenette Pierson hit 10-of-16 shots and scored 22 points, leading four Lady Raiders in double figures.
Dickerson finished with 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting and was one rebound shy of a double-double. O'Neal had 14 points and Schmucker-Pharies 10. The two starting guards combined for 11 assists, and Tech shot 48.5 percent (32-of-66) against the Buffs' zone.
"It's great to be back in the win column, and I think we all let out a big sigh of relief when we got that done," Sharp said.
Colorado never got closer than 19 points in the second half. Tech, using a variety of reserves to rest its starters, led by as many as 33 points while cruising to its 21st consecutive home victory.
Reserves Amber Tarr, Courtney Pastner and Tanisha Ellison played 25, 18 and 10 minutes, respectively. Ellison had six points, Tarr two points and three assists and Pastner one assist. Pastner, a crowd favorite, missed all three of her 3-point attempts.
"My shot was a little off," the freshman said. "I just kind of need to let it fly instead of worrying about it. It will come on, I know it will."
Colorado, with only nine healthy players, got 12 points from forward Kami Carmann and 10 from guard Jenny Roulier.
"We don't have the athletes to match up with them man to man," Colorado head coach Ceal Barry said. "I thought it might be a tough game for our team.
"Pretty much everything they did, we expected. We just didn't handle it very well."

on December 11, 2012 - 11:44 PM
TOWN OF NIAGARA – Two measures related to a home demolition that took place seven months ago were approved by the Niagara Town Board on Tuesday.
In separate votes, the board approved paying $28,521 to Mark Cerrone Inc. for performing the emergency demolition May 12 of the structure at 3045 Petroleum St. and authorizing the town attorney to investigate why the bill was not submitted to Niagara County for reimbursement.
Much of the discussion on both matters centered on the political division between Councilman Robert Clark, who sought to have the house torn down, and Councilman Danny Sklarski, who wants to know why the town was stuck with the bill.
Clark said he was contacted by neighbors who feared children playing near the abandoned property would be injured, as three sides of the foundation were severely damaged. According to the discussion, Clark contacted the town building inspector, who determined the structure to be unsafe. The rest of the board members were contacted and approved the demolition over the phone.
Clark said Supervisor Steven Richards never responded to a page. Richards denied being paged about the issue.
The bill for the work was received by the town May 18. The town also reviewed another $1,200 for air quality sampling done at the site by a Grand Island environmental firm. The property was sold by the county at an August auction for $1,500, it was noted.
Sklarski said he wanted to know why the bills were not turned in to the county to be attached as a lien on the property. If submitted in time, the town would have been reimbursed, he said. Sklarski and Councilman Charles Teixeira voted against the payment.
As a result, taxpayers and businesses "had to eat this total amount," which could have made a difference in the 2013 town budget in which a number of departments were cut, he said.
"We have an obligation to find out. … It's inexcusable in these hard financial times," Sklarski said.
Clark said the town had enough evidence already about what happened. He said he had more than two pages of contacts between town officials about the bill, which he said was discussed several times by board members and "went back and forth."
"My biggest fear is that this will turn into a witch hunt and waste more taxpayers' dollars," he said.
Teixeira and Deputy Supervisor Marc Carpenter voted to support the investigation, which passed, 4-1, with Clark in dissent.
Teixeira said he wanted to know why bills for the town's cutting grass on private property and delinquent water bills are regularly sent to the county, but this one was not.
Carpenter noted the process should have been very simple.
"Obviously, something is missing. This is the first time I've ever seen this happen," Carpenter said.
Attorney Michael Risman was assigned to look into the matter. He said it should take about 60 days to complete.
Risman said he recalled discussing the bill with the building inspector and the supervisor but stressed that he is not criticizing anyone at this point. Normally, he said, an emergency demolition is approved retroactively by a board after the work is completed, and the funding source is identified so it can be added to the property tax bill.

Relish chestnuts - with all your senses - at Arosio in Malcantone.
Malcantone lies between tall panoramic peaks such as Monte Lema and two inlets of Lake Lugano. The Tresa River, which flows from Lake Lugano at Ponte Tresa, and the mountains form the national border with Italy. Most of the 26 small communities of Malcantone are situated on the hills between the river Tresa and the mountains. The forest, which is composed mostly of chestnut trees, stretches from village to picturesque village. The churches in these villages are well worth visiting.
Malcantone, the gently curving, densely overgrown, domed hilly landscape, that curves up from Lake Lugano to Monte Lema, derived its livelihood for centuries mainly from one product: the chestnut. The ancient chestnut groves still exist today and are well maintained. Thick, gnarled trees, rising from a yellow-brown carpet of ferns, transform the mountain valley into a park landscape.
This Ticino hill landscape ranges from the Gulf of Agno on Lake Lugano to Monte Lema. Picturesque Ticinese villages, narrow mountain lanes and vast chestnut forests define the region, which is ideal for hiking and biking tours.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
It occurs to me that it seems like many comic book covers are homages. Which is fine with me. I have no problem with it. It just made me think, though, how long could I go before I hit a week where NO new comic book was released that had a cover that was an homage to something? Let's find out! Here is an archive of all the cover homages featured in the streak so far!
This week is a unique situation. Rather than picking just one cover, I'm picking two, just because the circumstances are unusual. Rob Liefeld's Youngblood had its 75th issue this week. The issue had a number of covers. Liefeld used two of them to homage Youngblood #1, which was a flipbook with TWO covers. So here are the two covers.
The first is drawn by Rob Liefeld and Mike Cappriotti and it homages the first cover of Youngblood #1 by Rob Liefeld…
The second is drawn by Rob Liefeld and Todd McFarlane and it homages the other cover of Youngblood #1 by Rob Liefeld…
Fifteen weeks down! Will we make it to week sixteen? Find out!
"Fourteen weeks down! Will we make it to week fifteen? Find out!"
um, this IS week fifteen?!
Oops, fixed!
Based on that second cover Youngblood's roster includes the son of Rogue and Wolverine?
All these years and Rob Liefeld still can't draw feet!
Is it actually a "homage" if you're referring to your own earlier work? I mean, these are "Liefeld after Liefeld".
Man, I haven't read a Youngblood book in YEARS. I picked up a couple of the early issues and I remember it as being more or less a recycling of unfinished/unused plots from Liefeld's Marvel stuff with the characters tweaked (ever so slightly) to totally *not* be Cable, Shatterstar, etc. Re: the cover to Youngblood #75, are they doing a Marvel Zombies type thing?
"All these years and Rob Liefeld still can't draw feet!"
All these years and Rob Liefeld still can't draw.
Comparing the four covers, I think he's actually gotten worse over the years…
Wilce Portacio and Jim Lee were my favorite X guys, but I liked the New Mutants stuff too. Say what you will for his lack of foundation, Liefeld certainly made everything seem energetic. You know how Marvel writers had the tendency of ending every sentence with an exclamation point? He did that with pictures.
How/why is Week 15 being published the same day as Week 14?
It wasn't. Week 14 was a day earlier.
Yes, he has gotten way worse. He started out as an energetic and talented but technically rough artist who got way more praise than he deserved without anyone sitting him down and having him work on the basics. The attention made his excentricities that should have been smoothed take over his style, and from there the whole thing stoked his ego and led to an increasing laziness in his work, leading to his currently unpleasant style. It's a shame really. His early work on New Mutants and X-Force had moments of greatness, especially in his paneling concepts. Had he worked to hone his craft he could have been one of the best.
Next week: Greg Land "homages" Greg Land!
buttler, are you implying Greg Land does porn?
wait, this is a joke right? no way youngblood published 75 issues. thats crazy.
A Zombie variant Rob? You really don't have an individual, unique thought in your head, do you?

Best in the Jerry Series Yet!
Your black comedy continues to grow, no longer are you using just silent unfortunate events to tell Jerry's story, but the actual writing and voices are spot on and they convey beautifully dark humor in them. Once again, you excel in your animation prowess, great job!
You sir...
Are a god of animation. I really enjoy this mini-series that reflect on the hardships of life. I commend u sir, and look forward to anything else that u do. :D
Its another original
Sorry, but...
I'm really at a loss of words about my thoughts on this. The animation and voices were great as always, but it seemed as if the story element was lacking a bit. It actually was a bit predictable at some parts, and it lacked the dark charm that makes your other movies so great. It also seemed to be missing structure in the sense that the bonding with Junior and Jerry's Dad didn't seem to go anywhere. Plus, for a movie about the back story/development of Junior, he really only seemed to have a flat, two-dimensional personality throughout the whole animation.
I don't want this review to come across as harsh, because I did enjoy this movie - don't get me wrong. I guess I just felt like it was a hit and a miss in some places is all. All I can say is that I wish you the best of luck in working on the next installment of this.
Good continuation
Not sure how i feel about all the dialogue, kinda liked it better when there wasn't any, to me it's much more interesting when you convey emotion and what the character was feeling with just facial expressions and gestures, rather than through dialogue.

Arts Our Debt To Arabic
posted by September 26 at 9:00 AMon
The most that we owe to the language of Arabs is for the word "zero":
zero 1604, from It. zero, from M.L. zephirum, from Arabic sifr "cipher," translation of Skt. sunya-m "empty place, desert, naught" (see cipher). A brief history of the invention of "zero" can be found here. Meaning "worthless person" is recorded from 1813. The verb zero in is 1944, from the noun, on the notion of instrument adjustments. Zero tolerance first recorded 1972, originally U.S. political language.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Gov. Rick Scott says there should be "no more teaching to the test" in a new television advertisement sponsored by the Florida Republican Party.
Scott, shown at a school with children walking past him, says he's listening to parents and teachers who are frustrated with the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test.
The governor says in the ad that the state needs a better measure of student progress. He was short on specifics, though, when reporters asked him what he had in mind on Tuesday.
Scott said new tests being developed to replace the FCAT should be "analytical rather than just asking for some memorization."
Democratic Party of Florida spokeswoman Brannon Jordan dismissed the ad as an attempt to lift Scott's low poll numbers by latching onto a popular issue.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Johnson & Johnson and two subsidiaries will pay a combined $2.2 billion in fines to resolve criminal and civil charges relating to the prescription drugs Risperdal, Invega, and Natrecor.
J&J and subsidiaries Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Scios will pay $485 million in criminal penalties and $1.72 billion in civil settlements with the federal government and several states. Janssen will pay the largest portion—$1.673 billion in civil and criminal fines—to resolve allegations that it misbranded and filed false claims related to schizophrenia drug Risperdal (risperidone).
Specifically, Janssen will pay a $400 million in criminal penalties—a $334 million criminal fine and forfeiture of $66 million—for introducing Risperdal as a misbranded drug into interstate commerce, as well as $1.273 billion in a civil settlement, under an agreement overseen by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Janssen and J&J also agreed with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Inspector General to new corporate integrity requirements.
Risperdal was first approved by FDA in 2002 for treating schizophrenia, followed a year later by short-term treatment of acute mania and mixed episodes associated with bipolar 1 disorder. The Department of Justice (DoJ) alleged that between 1999 and 2005, Janssen aggressively marketed the drug for treating agitation associated with dementia in senior citizens, without receiving approvals for that indication and subpopulation, through an "ElderCare sales force" targeting nursing homes and doctors who treated the elderly.
About the same time, DoJ alleged, J&J and Janssen knew Risperdal posed health risks to children such as elevated levels of prolactin, yet included growing the drug's market share with children and teens among Janssen's business goals—in part by influencing doctors to write prescriptions for Risperdal through "speaker" fees. Until 2006, Risperdal was not approved for use in children.
DoJ also alleged that Janssen and corporate parent J&J knew that Risperdal posed:
FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations launched a criminal investigation into Janssen's conduct following a whistleblower complaint. Last year, J&J and Janssen paid out $118 million to the state of Texas to resolve similar off-label marketing allegations relating to Risperdal.
J&J and Janssen were also cited for off-label marketing of antipsychotic drug Invega, approved only for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, and for making false and misleading statements about its safety and efficacy.
In addition, J&J and Janssen agreed to pay $149 million to settle DoJ claims that they paid millions of dollars in kickbacks to Omnicare—the nation's largest pharmacy specializing in dispensing drugs to nursing home patients—through market share rebate payments, data-purchase agreements, "grants", and "educational funding." The kickbacks were intended to promote the use of Risperdal and other J&J drugs in nursing homes by Omnicare and its consultant pharmacists.
J&J and Scios agreed to pay the federal government $184 million to resolve civil charges that they caused submission of false and fraudulent claims to federal health care programs for heart failure drug Natrecor. While FDA approved Natrecor in 2001 for patients with acutely decompensated congestive heart failure who have shortness of breath at rest or with minimal activity, the complaint alleged that starting in 2009, Scios began aggressively marketing the drug for scheduled, serial outpatient infusions for patients with less severe heart failure, an off-label use not covered by federal health care programs.
In 2011, Scios pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and paid a criminal fine of $85 million, for introducing Natrecor into interstate commerce for an off-label use.

Re: Reopened Macy's account still showing 'Closed' by TU in TC 3-in-1 report[ Edited ]
07-29-2009 01:38 PM - edited 07-29-2009 01:42 PM
Ok, just pulled my monthly TC 3-in-1 credit report, and my DSNB/Macy's TL is now showing 'Open' for all three CRAs!!!
So TU did something to make TC report it correctly for them.
However, my AMEX TLs (that got re-aged) are all messed up, because EX didn't re-age the accounts. SIGH!!!!!! Will leave them alone for now, and recheck in a month (or after I pester EX). Not too worried, since myFICO reports (that I got today) show accounts correctly for TU and EQ, and EX has been stubborn in re-aging AMEX accts for others.

'Richard Windsor,' better known as EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, is the subject of a Congressional inquiry touching on transparency. (EPA Photo)
The House Oversight Committee chairman is ordering more specifics on the use of "alias" e-mail accounts used by the departing administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct government business.
In a Jan. 15 letter to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) of the Committee of Oversight and Government Reform questioned her use of an e-mail account under the name of "Richard Windsor." He noted that his committee has investigated similar "nontraditional e-mail practices," with the most recent probe examining Energy Department officials' use of personal email accounts to dodge regulations such as the Freedom of Information Act.
EPA's secret accounts were first uncovered in April 2012 by the author Christopher Horner during book research. After filing FOIA requests to which EPA never responded, the Competitive Enterprise Institute -- where Horner is a senior fellow -- sued the agency, according to a timeline posted by CEI.
In November, Horner learned about Jackson's alias account, and the matter soon became a focal point for the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. On Dec. 13, an EPA inspector general audit was launched to review whether EPA followed applicable laws and regulations when using private and alias e-mail accounts to conduct official business.
Jackson's use of an alias e-mail account raises obvious concerns, and expediency or convenience should never be an excuse to evade transparency, said Joe Newman, director of communications for the Project On Government Oversight.
He also questioned the process of obtaining the e-mails from the alias account.
"The 'Richard Windsor' account was supposedly subject to FOIA, but did a requester have to specifically request e-mails sent under the 'Richard Windsor' account or were they included in any request that was made for Jackson's e-mails on a particular subject?" he asked. "I don't know the answer to that, but if those Richard Windsor e-mails weren't produced during a FOIA request for Jackson's emails, then that certainly goes against the spirit and intent of FOIA."
Issa's letter is calling on Jackson to provide more details on her alias account, including all communication from and to "Richard Windsor," as well as EPA's email policies and names of employees with more than one e-mail account. EPA was also asked to release 12,000 emails from Jackson's nom de plume account; so far, 2,100 have been made publicly available.
But that number did not impress Horner, who called for quicker action and more transparency from EPA.
"First, 2,100 is two-thirds of the way to the agency's commitment (possibly the agency also will determine two-thirds of 12,000 is sufficient, although we have our doubts)," he said in a Jan. 14 statement. "Perhaps seeking to take the air out of a growing scandal, EPA's defective compilation boasts an impressively anemic content-to-volume ratio."
Anne Weismann, chief counsel at watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, called the number of released emails "troubling."
By looking at the entire body of communications from and to that account, "it's going to be telling to see if [Jackson] acted in secret or if it's as innocuous as some say. That's an awfully small number of emails to have been processed," she said.
Jackson announced her resignation in late December and plans to step down after President Barack Obama's Feb. 12 State of the Union address, after a 25 year-career with EPA.

this is depressing...she is circumventing foia and she's going to get away with it....the media is ignoring this..i used to work at another agency; we knew incoming emails to our secretary from RW were from lisa jackson..how come the media can't figure this out...they can, they just aren't reporting it. Good luck Chris Horner...the odds are stacked against you but sometimes the good guys win.
How disappointing. IF this story is found to be true, it shows a sly and cynical approach to transparency. Will this be our future government? Issue a proclamation about transparency - but practice a lack of it when it involves management or cabinet-level officers?
There is also no need to be evasive regarding the Statute. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) already allows an ample caveat for protecting internal management decision-making.
Makes one wonder why such an action would be taken; and how personal and private records are segregated.
Transparency withers when sunshine statutes are administered under a 'partly cloudy' approach.
And she'll be held accountable.... how? The head of an Agency and nothing will happen. Learned behavior or just hubris... again.

A Russian Hacker Has Ported iOS 6's 3-D Maps To An iPhone 4 Handset
Apple's new Maps app in iOS 6 is great, but one downside of the application is that its best features require A5-enabled iDevices, meaning iPhone 4 and original iPad owners can't enjoy 3-D maps or turn-by-turn navigation. However, less than one week after iOS 6 beta 1 was released for iOS developers, one Russian hacker has successfully managed to both features to an iPhone 4 handset.

Rainbow Sun Francks
Corporal Dev Clark
Rainbow Sun FrancksRainbow Sun Francks stars as Corporal Dev Clark, technology expert and McCluskey's talented partner, on CTV and Fox International Channels' hit dramatic series THE LISTENER. Francks was born into a family of entertainers. He is the son of actor/musician Don Francks and dancer/actor Lili Francks, and brother to voice actor Cree Summer. It was only natural that Francks would take his first steps into the business at the age of four, counting and dancing on the children's program SESAME STREET.
At the age of thirteen he worked alongside Christopher Reeve and Tony Todd in the TV western mini-series Black Fox. At around the same time, he was starting to explore his creativity through music. In collaboration with some friends, they formed the hip-hop group The Oddities. The Oddities began releasing records independently before getting signed to Battle Axe Records/EMI and touring across Canada and the United States.
It was at the age of seventeen that Francks decided to seriously pursue a career in acting, landing his first leading role in the film The Planet of Junior Brown, directed by Clement Virgo. The two worked together several more times, including the films Love Come Down and One Heart Broken into Song, for which Francks received a Gemini Award nomination for Best Male Leading Actor.
Francks showcased yet another skill-set when he became a VJ on MuchMusic, hosting various programs and award shows including the MMVAs and the popular ELECTRIC CIRCUS.
In 2004, he moved to Vancouver to begin working on the popular sci-fi television series STARGATE: ATLANTIS as LT. Aiden Ford. While in Vancouver, he also played on the short-lived comedy THIS SPACE FOR RENT.
In between filming THE LISTENER, Franks continues to write and produce music under the name "Whippersnapper".

Corporal Dev Clark
CORPORAL DEV CLARK (Rainbow Sun Francks) is the IIB's technology expert. In his early thirties, he's also a valuable operative and Michelle McCluskey's confidante. Dev is the laid back Zen master to Michelle's tightly wound investigator, but their skills complement perfectly and they learn a lot from each other. With Michelle out on maternity leave at the start of Season 5, Dev must leave his high-tech desk and work more closely than ever with Toby in the field. He is also thrilled to have an attractive new colleague and collaborator when new forensics technician Alex Kendrick (Natalie Krill) joins the IIB team.

Angler invited officers to his house before getting busted with nearly 250 illegal fish
The nearly 250 fish hauled out of Ronald Wayne Johnson's home
courtesy Department of Natural Resources
Ronald Wayne Johnson was recently pulling his fishing hut off a lake in Otter Tail County, about an hour from Fergus Falls, when a conservation officer stopped to say hey and see how the catching was.
Johnson had gotten a few fish, he said, though not many. The officer, Shane Osborne, asked if Johnson had more fish at home. The angler replied that he wasn't sure, but that if Osborne thought he might have too many, he was welcome to follow him back and check for himself.
Seems like a less-than-bright invitation from a man who, Osborne found, harbored a catch cache nearly 250 fish over the legal limit.

- Hennepin County resorts to color psychology in fight against invasives
When Osborne and his partner checked up on Johnson's place in Carlos, Minn., they found fishing paraphernalia like 22 frozen half-gallon cardboard containers and several filets. But the shocking find was 228 sunfish, seven bass and six northern pike more than Johnson should have had.
Now, the 69-year-old angler might have to pay $1,560 in restitution. If convicted under a 2003 overfishing law, he could lose his fishing license for three years, and face up to $3,000 plus a year in jail.
The lesson? If you hoard sunfish, maybe don't tell Department of Natural Resources officers that they should come back to your place and check out your stash.
More overfishing paraphernalia.

Republican presidential hopeful John McCain says his remark that American troops could stay in Iraq for 100 years has been distorted. At the same time, he still suggests a lengthy U.S. presence.
McCain was responding to a student who had criticized his 100-year remark during a town hall meeting at Rice University in Houston.
The student referred to McCain's response at a town hall meeting in January when he was asked about a comment President Bush had made about U.S. troops remaining in Iraq for 50 years.
McCain's reply at the time was: "Maybe 100."
Speaking today, McCain pointed to places where the U.S. military is maintaining a peaceful presence, such as Korea, Japan, Germany and Kuwait.

Derek Stepan scored the Rangers' only goal in the second period, the first shorthanded goal of his career.
Marcus Foligno scored the first and third goals for the Sabres, with Thomas Vanek scoring the go-ahead goal at 12:40 in the second period.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed private minority institutions, both religious and linguistic, to hold their own entrance tests for undergraduate and postgraduate medical courses but declined to stay the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for the academic year 2013-14.
A bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and Justices S S Nijjar and J Chelameswar in an interim order allowed 76 minority medical colleges, who were seeking exemption from NEET, to conduct their own tests to fill MBBS and MD seats.
Senior advocates K K Venugopal, K Parasaran, Harish Salve, Rajeev Dhawan and P P Rao pointed out that since NEET was to take place from the next academic session, the court would serve public interest by staying it for a year.

Congressman Mark Takano to Address Seedstock's "Grow Riverside" Sustainable Agriculture ConferenceFebruary 6, 2014 | seedstock
Press Release – Seedstock today announced Congressman Mark Takano (CA-41) as the opening day luncheon speaker for the "Grow Riverside: Citrus and Beyond!" conference. The March 19-20 event, to be held at the Riverside Convention Center, will assist cities in examining and developing solutions to reconnect with their agricultural roots as well as evaluate potential economic and public health benefits of sustainable urban agriculture.
Representative Takano presently serves on the House Veterans' Affairs and the Science, Space and Technology committees. Prior to being elected to Congress, Takano spent 23 years as a high school teacher in the Inland Empire and more than 20 years on the Riverside Community College Board of Trustees. The Congressman, an advocate of "slow food" – an international movement founded by Carlo Petrini in 1986 – will share his perspective on this fast food alternative and the quest to preserve traditional and regional cuisine through the farming of plants and seeds characteristic of the local ecosystem.
"The progressive sustainable urban farming innovations to be presented at this event will prove an invaluable asset to Riverside and its environs," said Congressman Takano. "I am greatly impressed with the forward-thinking leaders of this historically rich agricultural region and look forward to witnessing the future success of the collaborations that are certain to be generated as a result of the Grow Riverside conference."

New York Distributor Brings the Farmers' Market to the Supermarket; Increases Local Food AccessJanuary 3, 2014 | Susan Botich
Dan Horan had a notion back in 1989 that started with a college essay and turned into a business plan: enlist the cooperative efforts of various small farms in the region to supply supermarkets with locally produced foods. The idea of bringing the farmers' market to the local supermarket was planted, he says.
"Fast-forward to 2010," says Horan. "I sold the company I was involved with and hired my first employee."
The name for Horan's new venture, Five Acre Farms, came from the principle of small, local agriculture serving its local communities, according to Horan.
"Our focus was on the mainstream customer," says Horan, "improving their access to local food where most of the shopping is happening—in the supermarkets. Less than 10 percent of people can support the farmers' market. We wanted to be in the mainstream shopping centers." Read More

Vertifarms began providing aeroponic farms for New Orleans food businesses in 2011, when company co-founders Doug Jacobs and Kevin Morgan-Rothschild began partnering with Florida-based FutureGrowing to bring aeroponic tower systems to restaurants, markets, grocery stores, and non-profit organizations that want to grow their own local crops.

Critical Read
What: "Measuring Telework and Mobility Return on Investment: A Snapshot of Agency Best Practices," a report developed by the Mobile Work Exchange in conjunction with the Office of Personnel Management. It was released with the exchange's Telework Return on Investment Calculator.
Why: The report comes on the heels of OPM's annual telework report to Congress, which states that telework will be increasingly important to federal agencies in the coming years. About 300,000 feds teleworked in fiscal 2012, a 24 percent jump from 2011.
The report and the calculator are designed to support agencies' telework mission success. The report shares the best ways for measuring the success of telework efforts, as outlined by telework managing officers across government. It offers measurement guidelines, describes tools and resources available to agencies, and provides formulas for calculating returns on telework investments through in-depth looks at commuting costs, transit subsidies, environmental impacts, continuity of operations, employee productivity, real estate savings, utility costs, and employee recruitment and retention.
Verbatim: "Conducting a comprehensive [return on investment] study requires setting the stage (e.g., defining telework roles, frequency, and outcome goals), determining the appropriate value factors to measure, calculating cost factors, identifying valid methods for measuring the value factors, obtaining and using a reliable telework tracking system, and controlling for other variables."

749 - Jackie Moore Gives An Insane Hummer In This Video;…
Views: 192 | Added: 4 years agoMoreWatch Video
Jackie Moore blows the horn like no one else in the biz. She loves to give head for hours on end. Undoubtedly, her vulva is sweeter than tupelo honey. She could make a guy cum in seconds flat. But what she likes most is fingering herself until she cums.

Hi guys, I had a WP 2.0.3 in a webhost. Then I downloaded the 2.0.4 and installed at localhost to make some plugins tests and etc.
Then I thought in upgrade the 2.0.3 to 2.0.4, so I desactived the plugins and send all files to the webhost, overwriting the 2.0.3 files. After, ran the upgrade.php, it shows "everything ok"...
Then I continued testing at localhost and when I saw the "backup" page I was scared, because I didn't remeber to see it on the WP installation at webhost. So I went to the WP admin panel and compared it. The localhost installation got it and the webhosted version doesn't. Now I just don't know if the 2.0.3 -> 2.0.4 updated failed in somewhere... or why one got and other not?
There is a script or anything that I can do to see if my instalation is really 2.0.4 updated as anounced or ... I can only try "re"-upgrade to 2.0.4 again? =/
EDIT: NVM!!! Sorry guys, but I just forgot of the "backup" pre-installed plugin in WP, desactivated and activated. Sorry, but anyway, there is some possibilitie to my system claim 2.0.4 and It's not a complete 2.0.4 upgrade?

Simi Valley detectives conducted a sex registrant compliance check Saturday morning in the city, officials said. The checks were made between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. throughout the city, police said. Authorities said of 120 registered sex offenders in Simi Valley, 105 were found to be in compliance with their registration requirements.
Detectives will continue to investigate the other 15 people who were not at their residence during the checks to determine whether they have violated any requirements, officials said. Full Article
Does this sound like a form of parole, even after their release.. They could be out fishing or doing laundry at a laundry mat
Whow i hope they saved some money for the legal fees and did not spend it all on this wasted task force effort. just another opportunity to say RSO are law abiding citizens. I'm sure the officers had better things to do UMMM go after criminals?????? if I was a resident in simi valley I would say, put this money into a fund for childrens counseling needs for families who cannot afford abused children help!!! Get a life People… I mean do they really think this will help? they need to re-elect new members…does anyone even know how many children over the past 10 years have been dragged into a home during holloween in simi valley by a RSO???? what do they base their actions on…. SAD!!!
I certainly agree with your comments Janice! Unless your on probation/parole, there is no law requiring you to even answer your door or answer ANY questions a police officer asks you! Maybe they were at work, on vacation or maybe out for a run? How ridiculous! I plead non contest to a wobbler 17-years ago and received Summary Probation/my charges have all been dismissed for years! This started happening on an annual basis to me and the cops were rather rude when I answered the door/I stopped answering the door! If an officer knocks, go to the door and ask how you may help them without answering the door! You font have to answer anything!
Well at least they didn't go so far as to call it a sex offender "sweep" in the news like they have in the past. I'm thinking this has nothing at all to do with being a citywide "compliance check" and more to do with having to hand deliver copies of the new ordinance they will be expecting registrants to follow there on Halloween. That is, unless a federal judge blocks it as petitioned.

13 reviews | 4.9 out of 5
Love this booster seat! Initially purchased the Harmony Juvenile Youth until I realized that I could get this one which has a cup holder (very important for me). When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it had the same comfort of the Harmony Youth seat but also more side impact support as well as it being a tad bit more spacious (wide). On an everyday basis, I use a 5 pt. Harness booster seat but the main reason for purchasing this backless booster is for airport travel... Much easier to travel with a carseat for a 10 month old with this seat for a 5 year old all in one travel bag than to travel with two full size seats in two separate bags. Very pleased with purchase! Most importantly, the Harmony Juvenile seat received excellent ratings in comparison to other backless booster seats based on IIHS review.
I like that the seat belt fits between the arms -- an added layer of security and keeps the child from wiggling out. The drawback is that when the seat belt is unbuckled, it catches in the arm, frustrating the child because he can't get out easily. It can be overcome. It's comfortable and secure.
I love this product so much when I bought the grey and pink one for my daughter that I had to get the black and red one for my son who wanted one like his sisters. The only think I would change about this item is having some type of seat gripper placed on the bottom. I have leather seats and the booster slides everywhere if the child isn't in the seat. I just bought a seat mat that goes under it but of course that was a separate purchase. Overall this product is great and kids love it!
Looks great in the car! Comfortable and perfect size for 5 year old. Nice material too. Looks nicer than Graco.
i researched boosters and this was top rated on the car seat safety list. Kids needed something easy and fast to install and this is great... not hard, not complicated. takes less time to install then a convertible and less bulky then one with a back. installed and easily put in my small suv with lots of room to spare between two boosters! love it. wished it came in more colors
6 yr old loves it and the 4 1/2 yr old wants his!
these booster are fantastic I love the design but was a little disappointed that they were only available in one color, I have to toddler boys and would have loved to of had a different color for each child so it was easier for them to tell them apart without fighting that the other child was in their carseat, but other then that I love the way they fit into the car and how sturdy they are
Nice, sturdy booster seat. My son (4 year old) loves it. Really easy setup and I love the fact that it comes with guides for the seat bealt. Very reasonably priced.
This is a great booster chair for my grandson who just turned 4. The cover can be removed and cleaned which is great. Great little chair....
My Granddaughter gave it a 2 thumbs up when she tried it out! What more can I say?
My son loves his new booster seat. He really enjoys the independence he has.

The Randolph Caldecott Medal is an annual award that honors the best illustrations in a book or novel (usually books, novels are rarely honored). I have decided to start a project where I attempt to review the honorees in a given year and give my opinion as to whether the right book won or not.
This year I am going to review the TWO books that were recognized in 1967.
One Wide River to Cross (by Barbara Emberley, illustrated by Ed Emberley)
This book tells the story of the animals that boarded Noah's Ark through an old folk song. It's a pretty cute book overall. The wood cut (I think) illustrations are very nice, but sometimes they were a bit hard to follow because sometimes it didn't seem like the pictures matched up with the text. I think the pictures could have been oriented better. But, yeah, I can see why the committee nominated this book.
Sam, Bangs, & Moonshine (by Evaline Ness) – CALDECOTT WINNER
This is a cautionary tale about a girl named Sam whom, after almost experiencing the loss of her cat (Bangs) and best friend Thomas to a great flood, learns the difference between lying and telling the truth – and why the former is wrong. Being imaginative is fine…straight up lying is wrong. I truly enjoyed this book. It's the kind of picture book I like – with an informative introduction, a beginning, middle, an end, some real life stakes, and a nice tidy lesson in the end. The illustrations, while not as clean and "pretty" as newer picture books, are beautifully representative of 60's and 70's style. Using mostly only dark blue, black, and gold, Ness is able to convey many emotions and feelings with light and contrast. The writing is very solid; and the story will never not be relevant. I think the only thing that prevents this from being a perfect 10 is that the book could have delved deeper into Sam's motivations for lying (like her mother's death or her very apparent loneliness). But this is definitely a forgotten treasure.
Yeah, clearly the right book won. It's only a pity that only one other book was honored. I'm sure if I do some digging, I could find worthy books, even worthier than the Emberley book. But it's nice that after being short listed three consecutive years beforehand, Ness finally won for this book. It's great.
Thanks for reading!

The Davis-Hinich multidimensional model of electoral competition is the foundation for a very broad set of models in economics, political science, public choice and political economy. This essay reviews some of these models and how they build on and extend the original Davis-Hinich model. It also presents a new extension that makes individual preferences endogenous to the electoral process. The essay concludes with a discussion of the positive and normative implications of endogenous preferences and then returns to the basic theme of the central importance of the early Davis-Hinich papers.

Apologies if this has been done before, but I'm finding the pricing for car hire from Malaga in mid-Feb 2013 very confusing. The main thing is that the broker type sites produce very low prices (e.g. £30-£40 for 8 days all in for a smallish car), but more direct sites spit out a price which is much higher, and to be honest, more like what I expected to pay (e.g., £100/week). It's been a few years since we hired a car from Malaga, and while the low headline prices are gratifying, i am very suspicious that we are going to be hit with numerous surcharges and extras which may mean the higher headline priced deals might be more suitable.
I tried Malagacar.com which has been well reviewed and offered a middling price of 55 euros, only to discover when the voucher arrived that all the extras basically doubled the price. Meanwhile Helle Hollis (again well reviewed) was closer to £150 on the quote.
Any suggestions about which of the companies can be trusted and is reliable, even if not the cheapest, will be gratefully received.

Statement on the first anniversary of the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty
New York, 2 April 2014
The Secretary-General notes that one year ago today, the General Assembly adopted the landmark Arms Trade Treaty, which for the first time sets global standards for the transfer of weapons and efforts to prevent their diversion.
The Secretary-General is heartened that 118 States have signed the Treaty. He welcomes the deposit today of instruments of ratification by 18 Member States, which brings the number of deposited ratifications to 31. This will generate further momentum towards the 50 ratifications needed for the Treaty's entry into force. The Secretary-General calls on all States that have not yet done so to sign and/or ratify the ATT without delay.
As we mark today's milestone, the Secretary-General is deeply concerned that civilians continue to be killed or maimed in targeted or indiscriminate attacks with weapons that should not have reached the hands of the perpetrators.
The Secretary-General calls on States, civil society, and international and regional organizations to continue working together to ensure that the ATT can play its full role in helping to reduce needless human suffering and build a safer world for all.

In the bunks below, voices chattered in Hindi as the train to Jaisalmer lurched forward. Half awake, I glanced at Laura in the opposite bunk and smiled. A distant and wan stare was all my wife could muster in return. Our tenuous attempt at communication was interrupted by a long hacking cough from one of our fellow passengers. I rolled my eyes. I could now identify the low point of our trip to India.
Using skills once learned on a school jungle gym, I climbed down from my bunk. The smell of cumin, coriander, and onion filled the car as our fellow passengers opened their bagged breakfasts. Coughing erupted again.
My ticket read "first-class/three-tier/ a.c." Our car was a metal box with plexiglass windows, enamel floors, and stacked vinyl cots. I walked to the bathroom. First-class cars included a pit toilet that opened on the tracks passing below. What, I wondered, were second- and third-class accommodations like?
Upon returning to my car, I tried to distract myself by looking out the window. The landscape was arid, open desert. Thank goodness the air conditioning was first-rate. As I often do when uncomfortable, I pulled out a book: The Natural, Joe Klein's evaluation of Bill Clinton's presidency. I was buried in the Lewinsky scandal when I heard a single word in English. It was the cougher.
