TORONTO -- The Blue Jays shipped right-handed pitcher Kevin Comer to the Houston Astros on Thursday to complete a 10-player trade made last month.
Toronto got pitchers J.A. Happ, Brandon Lyon and David Carpenter in the deal made July 20. Along with Comer, the Astros received Francisco Cordero and outfielder Ben Francisco, along with four minor-league players.
The 20-year-old Comer is in his first professional season, having posted a 3-3 record with a 3.95 ERA in 10 games, including seven starts, for Bluefield in the Appalachian League.

Tell me again why we even need a city council? Abolish the council, they don't do anything but piss our tax dollars away and serve their own socialist agenda while acting as tools for special interest groups that fund their campaigns.
City Council members have so far managed to keep Wal-Mart out of the city, but they can't stop New York City residents from shopping at Wal-Mart. The nation's largest retailer will announce today that city residents are heading to suburban Wal-Mart stores in record numbers — spending 30% more at the region's half dozen or so Wal-Mart stores last year than they did in 2004.
The retailer hopes these statistics will persuade City Council members to approveWal-Mart stores within the five boroughs. Using credit card data, the company says city residents spent about $128 million in 2005 at stores in New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut, and Westchester County. In 2004, New Yorkers spent about $98 million in those stores. The loss of tax revenue to the city from these sales is significant. Wal-Mart says every new store in New York City would create about 300 new jobs and generate about $5 million in tax revenue for the city.
A Wal-Mart spokesman, Philip Serghini, said the leakage of dollars to suburban stores proves "consumers in New York are interested in stretching their paychecks and they see Wal-Mart as a way to do that."
D'oh. The Democratic party machine is New York City is killing this town.
Mr. Malanga said the City Council is the biggest hurdle to Wal-Mart opening in New York City. "The City Council is almost completely a tool of the unions," he said. "This is not what is good for consumers, it is about city councilmen who have to appease the union movement." More here.
Wal-Mart makes it possible for lower wage earners to purchase items the could never afford at regular store prices. Wal-mart enhances the quality of life.

Well that sure was interesting, huh? In fact, we can't recall a 9-3 game ever getting so interesting. The tallies? Five batters plunked, 14 runs scored, two Yankee ejections. Yup, just your typical Yanks-Sox game.
Friday night's game featured the Bizzaro 2007 Yankees. Bobby Abreu hit two doubles and should've been called safe on that steal of third base. Robby Cano hit a HR, and with a 2-for-4 performance is now batting a respectable enough .269. Derek Jeter went 1-for-5 and left the most guys on base out of anyone in the lineup. Scott Proctor actually answered the call after the Red Sox hit someone. Joe Torre got so fired up over that blown third base steal that he got himself ejected from the game.
Exactly where did all of that come from? Wherever it came from, we'd like to see more of it.
Our only fear after the Yanks' 9-5 victory last night: instead of just simply sending a message that the team isn't, in fact, dead yet, Scott Proctor's unnecessary chin music awoke the Red Sox as much as it did the Yankees. (Though it's not like the Sox really needed to be woken up). It'll be worth watching to see if the drama escalates with each game this weekend. Overall, though, it won't hurt the Yanks to play some games with this kind of drama; it only stands to make them care and try just a little harder. That seems to be the theme in some of the game write-ups today, anyway.
"We need to be a little more fiery," said manager Joe Torre, who was tossed along with reliever Scott Proctor in separate incidents. "I think we showed fight tonight, which ... we really need to go out there and assert ourselves. That doesn't mean throwing at people and (stuff) like that. That just means to get that determination back and not give it up.That sounds about right. After last night's drama, John Harper makes the obligatory reference to 1978.
Meanwhile, it's still hard to get excited for a Mike Mussina start, but maybe he'll rise along with the rivalry and build on his quality start in his last outing against the Angels. He faces Curt Schilling in a game on FOX today at 3:55.

MOBILE, Alabama – Small business owners Bob and Kathy Summer have their cash machines ready for tomorrow's 1 percent increase in the city's sales tax.
They are like many other retailers in the city who are reluctantly adding the tax increase to their customer's final bills.
"We had to make the adjustment," Bob Summer, co-owner of Anders Bookstore at 6133 Old Shell Road, said today. "That's all we can do."
While city retailers are not thrilled about the sales tax increase that was adopted Oct.2 by the City Council, they understand its reality that it's here for the time being.
"Yeah, we have to adjust our cash registers and we'll make those changes first thing in the morning before we open our doors," Stephen Toomey, owner of Toomey's Mardi Gras, 725 McRae Ave., said. "And we'll also collect the additional penny. It's a sign of the times, I guess."
Retailers such as book and clothing stores, automobile dealerships, grocery stores and corporation big-box retailers, to name a few, will begin assessing the penny increase in the sales tax when they open Thursday.
Tal Vickers, owner and general manager with Springhill Toyota, said he doesn't think the increase will affect automobile sales. He's also confident the sales tax increase "will go away" similar to last year, when a similar temporary sales tax increase expired on Sept. 30, 2011.
The council approved the sales tax increase earlier this month as a way to generate extra revenue.
The tax is expected to be a temporary fix, after Councilwoman Gina Gregory – an original opponent to the tax increase – said she would only support it if there was a sunset provision and that part of it was earmarked to specific purposes such as capital improvement and economic development.

News Roundup --Islander sought for ferry group/Wildlife shelter is going nuts
Islander sought for ferry group
Got a vision for the future of the islands ferry terminal?
Then answer the call for volunteer members of the ferry systems new Bainbridge Ferry Terminal Advisory Group.
Theres a lot of cynicism about government and that their input with the ferry system doesnt matter, said David Groves, a bicycle commuter and member of the Bainbridge Island Ferry Advisory Committee, one of several regional committees established to serve as liaisons between ferry communities and the Washington State Ferries. Its easy to sit back in the armchair and be critical, but what people on Bainbridge need to do is put down the bonbons, turn off the Oprah and get involved in this public process.
The new 12-member citizen group will convene later this year and provide advice to WSF into 2006. WSF hopes to draw a broad cross-section of geographic locations, interest groups and community organizations for the group, according to WSF spokesperson Joy Goldenberg.
WSF wishes to collect local input as it crafts an update of the 1998 Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal Master Plan and spend over $160 million in upgrades over the next 12 years.
This is an opportunity for people to have some hands-on influence on how this proceeds, Groves said, adding that many terminal projects islanders care about most including pedestrian and bicycle pathways are slated for later stages.
That means theres still plenty of time to have your say, he said.
To apply, send a letter of interest to Washington State Ferries; Attn: Joy Goldenberg; 2901 3rd Ave., Suite 500; Seattle, WA 98121-3014 or email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Letters are due Oct. 17.

Wildlife shelter is going nuts
The Island Wildlife Shelter was overrun by squirrels over the summer, taking in more than 25 squirrels since Aug. 1 from all corners of Kitsap County, organizers said this week
The majority of the squirrels were smaller brown Douglas squirrels; the others were the larger eastern grey squirrel. At times, the shelter at Bloedel Reserve had as many as 10 high-energy squirrels simultaneously flitting about cages, director Kol Medina said.
The shelter will release three young squirrels into the wild this week; the animals were found in different areas of Kitsap County and needed assistance because they were either injured or orphaned.
The three squirrels being released were treated for their wounds and placed in an outdoor cage together. Although they are not siblings, they were able to learn from each other and form a sense of family. Squirrels are particularly prone to imprinting coming to see a human as its parent.
Shelter officials encouraged the public to call IWS upon finding injured, orphaned or sick wildlife.

(From the Greek aster , a star).
This is a utensil for the Liturgy according to the Greek Rite, which is not used in Roman Rite at all. It consists of two curved bands, or slips, made of silver or gold which cross each other at right angles and thus form a double arch. It is used to place over the amnos or particles of blessed bread, when spread out upon the paten during the proskomide and earlier part of the Greek Liturgy, so as to prevent the veil from coming in contact with or disturbing these blessed but unconsecrated particles of bread in carrying the paten from the prothesis to the altar, or while it is standing at either place. It is laid aside after the Creed and is not ordinarily used again during the Liturgy. The asterisk is usually surmounted by a cross, and often has a tiny star suspended from the central junction, and in the Greek Orthodox is somewhat larger in size than in the Greek Catholic Church. When the priest in the proskomide service is those of blessed bread Iying upon the paten, he takes up the asterisk and incensing it says, "And the came forth and stood over where the child was." Then he puts it over the particles of bread upon the paten, and proceeds to cover it with the various veils and at conclusion of the proskomide , begins the celebration of the Liturgy.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

With apologies to Ohio State's Aaron Craft, and even his teammate LaQuinton Ross, it was the biggest shot of the tournament.
As Twitter exploded with reaction after Trey Burke's 30-footer tied Michigan's Sweet 16 game against Kansas, one noun seemed to surface more than others.
SI.com's Andy Staples channeled his inner Bill Raftery in detailing the Wolverines' comeback against the Jayhawks, using "onions" in more ways than you see at the local grocery store.
"The Sweet 16 matchup between Kansas and Michigan began with a shot to the onions. It continued past the end of regulation because of a shot that proved the existence of enormous onions," Staples wrote.
Staples also notes it took "onions" for John Beilein to insert Mitch McGary into the starting lineup before the NCAA tournament and that Burke showed the "biggest set of onions the tournament has seen so far."
Here's a roundup of other national reaction to Michigan's win over Kansas:
• CBSSports.com: Columnist Gregg Doyel said Michigan had two heroes: Burke and Elijah Johnson, who opened the game with a groin punch to Mitch McGary and then unraveled down the stretch. "Michigan won ... Kansas lost ... Sometimes you get what you deserve."
• SI.com: Burke's shot was stunning, to just about everybody but him and his teammates. And Andy Glockner says, nobody should've been that surprised that point guard issues did Kansas in, either. "Burke weaved down the court and hit a 30-footer that will live forever in the annals of great NCAA tournament moments. It was a moonshot that felt like it hung in the air forever, seemingly destined to bang off the front rim but somehow landed beyond it and rustled through the netting. It was a season-saving star turn that deserves more than one parenthetical sentence."
• ESPN.com: Jason King says Burke has heard the questions after some of Michigan's close losses this season. Friday night, he had a response. "Burke never discovered the answer -- but he never lost confidence, either. Instead the Wooden Award candidate just kept firing away in those tight moments, hoping that good fortune would eventually come his way."

J.P. Morgan Makes More Risk Management Changes
The risk management changes continue at J.P. Morgan as it battles the fallout from its trading blunder.
The New York bank is now facing a wider probe by the CFTC, as WSJ reports this morning, and CEO Jamie Dimon is going to have to be in front of two congressional panels this month, where he'll need answers. Along with the shakeups at the chief investment office, Dimon can now add several role changes inside risk management to his answers in front of lawmakers.
Ashley Bacon is moved to Deputy Risk Officer, a promotion to a higher risk position directly under top-risk watcher John Hogan.
Meanwhile, the CRO's of wholesale credit, consumer and card operations have all been shuffled as well.

Message from Chief Risk Officer John Hogan
I am pleased to announce new and expanded roles for some leaders in Global Risk.
Ashley Bacon has been appointed Deputy Chief Risk Officer for the firm, reporting to me. Ashley will retain his role as Head of firmwide Market Risk. In this new role, he will partner with me to review and assess firmwide risk and risk governance. His responsibilities will include managing our risk appetite and risk limits, risk mitigation strategies, and working with me to lead and develop the firm's Risk organization. He'll also take the lead in directing our market risk coverage resources across the firm.
Ashley is one of the most experienced, thoughtful risk managers that we have. He joined the firm in 1993 and has held various roles in Markets and then Risk globally.

Stephen Eichenberger has been appointed Wholesale Chief Credit Officer in addition to his role as Chief Credit Officer for the Investment Bank. He will report to me in his firmwide Chief Credit Officer capacity, and to Steinar Zinke, Chief Risk Officer for the Investment Bank, in his IB role. Stephen will coordinate and oversee Credit Risk-related activities across the lines of business, partnering with all of the Chief Risk Officers. He joined the firm in 1979 and has held various leadership roles across the Investment Bank.
Sam Ramsey will take on an expanded role as Chief Risk Officer for all Consumer businesses, continuing to report to me. Sam joined the company in 2011 and most recently was responsible for managing risk across Auto & Student Lending, Mortgage Banking and Consumer & Business Banking. Sam has spent more than 25 years in the financial services industry, including senior roles in Risk and Finance at Ally Financial and Bank of America.

Bulgaria will begin its 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign next year with a home match against four-time world champions Italy on September 7, followed by two more home matches, but will face a tough stretch of four consecutive away matches in 2013.
Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) officials said after the end of scheduling talks that they were "90 per cent happy" with the team's qualifying calendar.
"From a purely financial point of view, we wanted to start the campaign with Italy [at home] and we got it. The only wish that we did not get is playing a match in June next year. In particular, the away matches against Italy and Malta have been set one after another because it is convenient for travelling," BFU president Borislav Mihailov said on November 29.
Bulgaria will face Italy, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Armenia and Malta in its qualifying group. The latter is the only team that Bulgaria has had any recent success against; Armenia is the one unknown, but the other three have all defeated Bulgaria over the past decade.
New national team manager Lyuboslav Penev said: "It is a good thing that we start with three home matches against opponents who will play at Euro 2012. If they happen to be tired, we will have a better chance to beat them. But while the schedule is important, the more important part is to build our own style and have a core group of players who will pick up the bulk of the work."
"I am happy that we will play very strong opponents. I want the players that will now join the team and the returning ones to grow against such teams. I do not want to play weak opponents," he said.
A quick start to the qualifying campaign would help Penev, who will face the toughest qualifying group in decades, avoid the fate of Stanimir Stoilov, sacked after a poor start to the Euro 2012 campaign, and Lothar Matthaeus, whose contract was terminated by mutual agreement when he failed to dig his way out of the early hole.
Matthaeus, who got snide comments from Bulgarian media during his rare visits to the country when he was manager of the team, was back in Sofia in late November, ostensibly to officially end his contract with the BFU.
The German said that he had waited for the contract to run its course before signing on any new managerial jobs. The BFU said in September that it had terminated Matthaeus' contract with immediate effect, less than a month after offering Matthaeus a two-year extension on his contract.
Matthaeus wished Penev better luck on the job. "It is not an easy job – as you saw, results after I left were the same, losses against Ukraine and Wales. I said from the very start that a lot of things have to change in Bulgarian football to get the desired results," he said.
He rejected criticism that he did not spend enough time in Bulgaria, saying that he followed the domestic league closely and visited the players who play abroad. "Maybe I should have had better communication with the people in the BFU," Matthaeus said.
At the end of his reign, Matthaeus faced player rebellion over the restrictions he imposed on players when in camp, and it will be an issue that Penev, known as a disciplinarian coach, will have to face early on as well.
On November 19, Penev told TV7 cable channel that he and his staff were working on strict team guidelines that will go in effect even before his first match in charge of the team, a friendly in February.
Players unhappy with the new regime would not get called up to the national squad. "I have rules and conditions that I impose – these are football conditions, concerning our common job. It is pointless to call anyone unwilling to show character and follow these rules. I do not want to waste time – my time, the time of Bulgarian football fans or Bulgarian football players," Penev said.
The schedule
September 7 2012 – Italy (home)
September 11 2012 – Armenia (home)
October 12 2012 – Denmark (home)
October 16 2012 – Czech Republic (away)
March 22 2013 – Malta (home)
March 26 2013 – Denmark (away)
September 6 2013 – Italy (away)
September 10 2013 – Malta (away)
October 11 2013 – Armenia (away)
October 15 2013 – Czech Republic (home)

A Bethlehem man told police he would make good on this threats to kill his uncle and stepmother after the victims called police worried about threats he made over the phone Saturday, court records say.
Michael Andrew Silvoy, 31, of the 1400 block of Hottle Avenue in Bethlehem, was upset after learning his father had left his home to Silvoy's stepmother after dying Friday, court papers say. Silvoy allegedly called his uncle Andrew Silvoy because he was angry that the relative was assisting the defendant's stepmother Rosanne Silvoy.
He told the victims he was going to come over to his uncle's home in the 200 block of East Fifth Street and kill them both, court papers say. The victims told police they feared Michael Silvoy, according to court records.
A Bethlehem police officer spoke with Silvoy at the 31-year-old's home, court records say. Bethlehem police described Silvoy as agitated as they tried to calm him down. Court papers say an officer suggested that Silvoy may have just been emotional and not meant what he said on the phone. But Silvoy said that wasn't the case.
"I'm a man of my word and if I say I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it," Silvoy allegedly told the officer. "If (Andrew Silvoy) was here right now, I would say the same thing to his face."
Silvoy was arraigned before District Judge Nancy Matos Gonzalez on two charges each of terroristic threats and harassment. He was sent to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $150,000 bail.

Do you realize that it's been nearly a year since the last new episode of "Maron?" Well, even if you haven't realized it, it has been, but that drought ends tonight. Tonight, we're getting the first of 13 new episodes of the series which focuses on the life of podcaster Marc Maron. Expect to see a whole bunch set of hijinks this season, including--we're told--a moment when the whole family actually has to live together. Maron acts as a creator and an executive producer on the series, which also finds Denis Leary as an EP.
Past Events
Jul 31, 2014TV Network - IFC
Well, this is it. We have told you more than once this season that you wanted to be watching "Maron" for the heart and humor Marc Maron and company infuse into every episode. We certainly hope that you've taken us up on the suggestion because this is the season finale. It isn't that you shouldn't tune in tonight if you haven't seen previous episodes, it's just that if you do tune in for the first time ever tonight, you're going to be sad that it's your first time watching and yet still the last episode of the year.
Jul 03, 2014TV Network - IFC
Marc Maron is, perhaps, best known for his WTF podcast, but that is certainly not the only thing which Maron does. Come on, you don't get to be a multi-hyphenate kind of guy if you only do one thing, and Maron is a multi-hyphenate kind of guy. One of the other things he has going on is this half-hour comedy series which also features Judd Hirsch (amongst others). The season is more than halfway done, but we would bet if you tune in, you will still find it all rather enjoyable and humorous.
Jun 26, 2014TV Network - IFC
Do you ever get confused by shows where the title is the same as the name of a character which is the same as the name of an actor? Yeah, if you do, this may not be the greatest of series for you to watch. If, however, you like funny and smart series about funny and smart people, well, in that case you probably would like to watch because Maron is just that -- smart and funny. It is also that other thing about the title of the series being the same as a character and an actor, but still, you should be watching.
Jun 28, 2013TV Network - IFC
Do you remember way back when, when we told you this series was starting (that would have been May 3rd)? We suggested that you watch because Marc Maron is a funny guy and we tend to like the notion of a funny guy playing a funny version of themselves with funny things happening and a funny supporting cast. That is, in fact, just what "Maron" is -- we aren't going to suggest that everything on the show works, but enough works that it's really something you should watch, even if this is the last episode of the season. So, tune in and enjoy one last time (or one first time if you've never seen it before).

My wedding is in 5 days. So far the weather report is cloudy and 75. I've gathered all the linens and vintage green vases. We've made 50 giant tissue poms and my friend Heather is making the vellum mobiles. I've washed about half of the mason jars we're using as glasses. My dress is clean. The apple seating cards are cut and finished and ribbon. We cut up about a million yards of tulle and snipped silk daffodils for the chair back decorations. I cut out and glued about a million little birdie cards for the guests to pin a message to a clothesline. We put together a line of photos from our life.
I need to... wash the punchbowls, finish washing the mason jars, make the cake stands, make signs out of circles of wood that say things like, "Please take a card and leave a message for Kurt and Amanda," or whatever, create a photo bucket for guests to upload their photos, make photo jars, paint my toenails (which will be Kurt's job because I can't reach them), make caramel apples, buy flowers and napkins. Kurt needs to put together cds of the music we're not finished picking out yet. I need to buy Kurt an orange shirt and tie. Mostly I need to get it together and finish writing my vows.
But, there are still 5 days, so mostly, I'd say we're good to go. I think? Or maybe I'm freaking out about what still needs to be done? I can't tell.
Scouty is walking me down the aisle, and when the officiant asks, "Who gives this woman away to be married?" She is going to say in her heartbreakingly adorable little voice, "I do!" We've been practicing.
Kurt and I are planning to dance our first dance to Rilo Kiley's I never. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyeADBK7YO4) It's kind of a flashy song for Kurt and it's kind of a long song for me to be on my feet, haha, but it's perfect.
Kurt and Scouty are going to have a daddy/daughter dance to this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nUgEt_MZOQ It makes me cry just to think about it. I'm going to bawl in person. Kurt put it on a cd for me, and when I heard it, it just seemed perfect for little Scouty B, since... well... before her, we were only killing ourselves. We found our one thing to love more than being lost and dying, and it was only just barely not too late.
(Cut for secrets.)
Also, I am 34 weeks pregnant. I'm huge and ungainly and it takes me 5 minutes of whining and sighing to get up out of a chair. The heat has been KILLING me and making me barf. But, mostly, I'm just trying to enjoy this time before Baby Louise turns our lives completely upside down. I'm making sure to drink up my Scouty as much as I can, to play whatever she wants to play and to make her feel special and loved and perfect as much I can before it's time for her to share me with a little sister. I love my girl so much, you guys. Every second I spend with her is me, spilling over with pride and gratefulness. She's such a good little kid. She's so happy and sweet and nice and polite. I love spending my life with her.
I have to admit that I'm more than a little scared about things changing. She starts preschool on June 14th, which blows my mind. But, I know she'll love it. She'll love making friends in an environment where everything is controlled and meanness is prohibited and where she can eat lunch and play and listen to stories and learn about music with other kids. I just can't fathom how it's going to feel to take her to school and then just turn around and walk out. She's ready. We talk about it all the time, how mommy and Feather are going to take Scouty and Eliot to school and then we're going to leave them there to play and have fun and learn. About how the teachers will keep them safe and happy until we come back to get them and hear about all the fun things they did. She's ready, but I'm not.
And then, thinking about sharing my energy and love with another child. I have no idea how that's going to work either, but everybody assures me that it will. That Baby Lulu will be just as much of a blessing in our family as Scouty B has been. That I'll love her just as much as I love my Baby B. That they'll love being sisters. I believe all of these things, I just can't picture them, not really. It seems impossible that anybody could ever mean as much to me as Scouty, but I know that it's true. That's crazy, isn't it?
I try not to think too much about how it's going to be hard... the c-section recovery and nursing and not sleeping and stressing out, about how I don't want to go crazy again and start having panic attacks like I did in the weeks and months after having Scouty, heart palpitations and being stuck in the house, bolting awake at night hearing a baby that isn't crying, worrying that I'm not good enough, that I don't know what I'm doing. Everybody also says that it will be easier this time because I WILL know what I'm doing, and I hope they're right. Hopefully Baby Lulu's birth won't be so traumatic, that I'll heal properly and quickly, that my boobs will make enough milk and that I won't be shamed and embarrassed if they don't. That I'll be brave and we'll go places and not be intimidated by getting back out into the world. That I'll let myself sleep when it's my turn and I won't spring to my feet in a panic when I hear her little voice in the night. Most of all, I hope that, even though things won't be perfect, I'll be wiser and more prepared to handle it all.
How about diapers? Right now, I have about 12 one size BGs, 4 one size Smartipants, 7 small fitteds, 2 infant fitteds, 1 small cover, 12 infant prefolds, 2 small AIOs, 1 weird one size chinese pocket diaper from ebay. So, I need covers, snappis and I want to bulk up my stash of one sizes. Scouty currently uses two BG's per night because I can't stuff them big enough to last her all night and have them still fit her. Kurt goes in and changes her in the night before he goes to bed. That seems crazy, but she doesn't even notice it's happening. She just sleeps right through the change. So, they currently share the BGs. I want like... 10 more one sizes at least, but I'll work on that after I see how much money we have after the wedding. So, I'm on my way to a pretty nice little diaper stash.
I have been loving using cloth, so far, although I've only ever dealt with one poopy diaper about 6 or 7 months ago when Scouty was sick. Now, she's completely potty trained all day and during her nap. We just have to work on night time, but I'm not in a huge rush. She's been doing awesome.
Okay, holy cow. I need to get showered and do some wedding chores while I have the time to myself! But that's what's been up with me. Totally overwhelmed and exhausted, but healthy and settled and happy and in love. :)

|George Noory
|Damien Broderick, Tom Cryer, Joshua P. Warren
Appearing in the latter half of the show, paranormal investigator Joshua P. Warren shared updates on a number of different topics. He was able to successfully extract recordings from a mysterious Cold War-era spy watch, and heard a group of men in Texas talking about creating a new aircraft. He also discussed some of the latest experiments taking place at his lab including observing waves of energy, using a special optical system known as Schlieren Imaging.
Warren talked about the usage of a psychomanteum (as developed by Raymond Moody)-- a darkened room with a mirror, that can foster communication with the deceased, as well as a "Devil's Toy Box," six square mirrors that form a cube. Growling and other weird noises have been heard coming from such a box, and he speculated that the mirrors could be creating a kind of back and forth energy loop. He also touched on new video footage that shows orange blob-like aerial objects that morph between shapes. He's going to try and emulate this phenomenon in the lab.
Tax Protest Update
First hour guest, attorney Tom Cryer discussed the conviction of tax protesters Ed & Elaine Brown, who were found guilty of amassing weapons and plotting to kill federal agents during their nine-month standoff in 2007. Cryer said he's now focusing his efforts on Tea Party Squared, a political protest movement against the "IRS's fraudulent misapplication of the income tax."
PSI Research
In the second hour, Australian author, futurist, and critical theorist Damien Broderick talked about psi research and his interest in the paranormal. While skeptical of some reported UFO phenomena, he does believe there is evidence for the validity of psi or ESP, such as demonstrated in the US military's former Remote Viewing program. The idea of multiple universes is explicated in powerful theories, such as Super String, yet there is no evidence/phenomena to back it up. It is just the opposite with psi, which has phenomena, but no central theory to explain it, he commented.

HUNTSVILLE, AL. - The North Carolina Stage Company in Asheville pays homage to one of the greatest and most invigorating films of the 20th century by bringing to the stage its original adaptation of "It's a Wonderful Life."
"It's sort of the best and worst thing going for us when people associate our production with the iconic movie," said playwright and producer Willie Repoley. "To a certain extent, people expect the movie.
"But, we can't try to reproduce Jimmy Stewart," Repoley quipped. "So, we attempt to take a new approach and we actually start with a different story entirely."
"It's a Wonderful Life: Live from WVL Radio Theatre" is performed in the style of a live studio radio broadcast in 1946 at the small station WVL. As a winter storm brews, it prevents most of the cast from performing on air "It's a Wonderful Life."
The audience witnesses two stories during the show, Repoley said. First is how a few employees try to make it through the storm, and how only four actors are forced to go on with the performance.
"We are trying to engage the audience in a new way and cast the audience in a role," he said. "It's a subtle distinction, but it really captivates the audience."
The North Carolina Stage Company has toured the country for four years performing "It's a Wonderful Life: Live from WVL Radio Theatre." The theater troupe actually performed according to a different version in 2007 until Repoley rewrote the script in 2009.
"It's pretty exciting," said Repoley, "and this is one of our biggest years. We will have toured everywhere from Maryland to Alabama."
Check it out
"It's a Wonderful Life: Live from WVL Radio Theatre"
When: Sunday, 2 and 5 p.m.
Where: Merrimack Hall, 3320 Triana Blvd.
How much: $25 adults; $20 groups of 10 or more

Life got a bit harder over the past few days for the Syracuse University football team that has endured a 2005 that has become its 1929.
1-7 . . . stock market crash. Stock market crash . . . 1-7.
Hey, work with me here. Some 76 years ago, the Wall Street boys' creed became, "Brother, can you spare a dime?" And now, all this time later, the Orange guys are asking, "Brother, can you get Buffalo on the phone?"
On Saturday, South Florida (4-3) trampled Rutgers, conqueror of SU . . . and the Bulls are next in the Dome. On Saturday, Notre Dame (6-2) routed Tennessee, once considered the third-best team in the nation . . . and the Fighting Irish are up after South Florida for the Orange. On Thursday, Louisville (6-2) slammed Pittsburgh, which beat SU . . . and the Cardinals will be waiting for Syracuse in Kentucky over Thanksgiving Weekend.
South Florida. Notre Dame. Louisville. They are an aggregate 16-7. They are a combined 5-2 over clubs that have already beaten the Orange. They each have different levels of the postseason on their minds.
And now they are the only things standing between SU and SU's burial of this sorry 2005 campaign.
I didn't see any of the Louisville-Pitt game the other night, nor did I catch so much as a play from South Florida-Rutgers. But I did watch parts of Notre Dame-Tennessee . . . and my head spun as I contemplated the football carnage to come in South Bend on Nov. 19.
Daryl Gross, the SU athletic director, swears that there is still every reason for folks to get emotional about the Orange's upcoming pilgrimage to Notre Dame. And who knows? Maybe he means that in the same way that turkeys should anticipate Thanksgiving. Because the truth of the matter is this: Syracuse-vs.-Notre Dame is going to be as competitive as hatchet-vs.-gizzard.
And that potentially very unsightly thing is sitting smack in the middle of South Florida and Louisville.
I've got 1-7. Am I bid 1-8? Can I get 1-9? Do I hear 1-10!
Sold to the man with the West Coast offense!

Neonatal palliative care attitude scale : development of an instrument to measure the barriers to and facilitators of palliative care in neonatal nursing
Kain, Victoria J., Gardner, Glenn E., & Yates, Patsy (2009) Neonatal palliative care attitude scale : development of an instrument to measure the barriers to and facilitators of palliative care in neonatal nursing. Pediatrics, 123(2), e207-e213.

The aim of this research project was to obtain an understanding of the barriers to and facilitators of providing palliative care in neonatal nursing. This article reports the first phase of this research: to develop and administer an instrument to measure the attitudes of neonatal nurses to palliative care.
The instrument developed for this research (the Neonatal Palliative Care Attitude Scale) underwent face and content validity testing with an expert panel and was pilot tested to establish temporal stability. It was then administered to a population sample of 1285 neonatal nurses in Australian NICUs, with a response rate of 50% (N 645). Exploratory factor-analysis techniques were conducted to identify scales and subscales of the instrument.
Data-reduction techniques using principal components analysis were used. Using the criteria of eigenvalues being 1, the items in the Neonatal Palliative Care Attitude Scale extracted 6 factors, which accounted for 48.1% of the variance among the items. By further examining the questions within each factor and the Cronbach's of items loading on each factor, factors were accepted or rejected. This resulted in acceptance of 3 factors indicating the barriers to and facilitators of palliative care practice. The constructs represented by these factors indicated barriers to and facilitators of palliative care practice relating to (1) the organization in which the nurse practices, (2) the available resources to support a palliative model of care, and (3) the technological imperatives and parental demands.
The subscales identified by this analysis identified items that measured both barriers to and facilitators of palliative care practice in neonatal nursing. While establishing preliminary reliability of the instrument by using exploratory factor-analysis techniques, further testing of this instrument with different samples of neonatal nurses is necessary using a confirmatory factor-analysis approach.

Ginger Fish Quits Marilyn Manson
Ginger Fish Quits Marilyn Manson
He endured endless humiliation and countless injuries at the hand of the controversial Marilyn Manson, who had a penchant for flinging heavy microphone stands at the drummer's head in the middle of shows. So why did it take Manson's longtime sidekick Ginger Fish (whose real name is Kenneth Robert Wilson) 18 years to quit the band?
According to Wilson, he resigned to "see where my life, and the knowledge of my availability cares to take me. I can't stand by to watch opportunities pass me by simply because the knowledge of my availability wasn't clearly expressed by me. I wish my brothers well, and I expect nothing but great things from them."

NEWARK — He sat upright in the vast, elegantly furnished courtroom, admitting to the judge in a quiet, slightly meek voice that he had played a central role in one of the largest and longest-running insider-trading schemes ever uncovered by authorities.
Wearing a crisp suit and glasses, Garrett D. Bauer looked rested and relaxed — a far cry from his exhausted-looking appearance in court after his April 6 arrest — and he went on yesterday to quickly admit to a host of startling details, read by the judge, that surrounded a 17-year crime spree that netted him and his alleged co-conspirators $37 million in illicit profits.
A 44-year-old New York stock trader, Bauer leaned into a microphone and said matter-of-factly that, "yes," he and his alleged co-conspirators — Matthew Kluger, a former attorney at prominent New York and Washington, D.C., law firms, and Kenneth Robinson, a New York mortgage broker — had gamed the system by using non-public information Kluger got at his law firms about upcoming mergers and acquisitions of companies to make unfair investments.
Aware that Fortune 500 companies would soon be merging — moves that often raise firms' stock price once the deals are announced — the trio would load up on a company's stock and then sell it off after the announcement.
To hide their fraud, Bauer admitted yesterday before U.S. District Judge Katharine Hayden in Newark federal court, the co-conspirators took spy-novel-like measures such as using prepaid cell phones and paying out Kluger and Robinson in mounds of cash.
When Hayden asked Bauer if he had ever told Robinson to set fire to $175,000 in bills he had given him earlier this year, Bauer replied simply, "I suggested that."
Indeed, prosecutors had alleged in April that Bauer became so panicked as he learned last winter that the FBI might be closing in on him that he told an alleged co-conspirator, "I can't sleep. I can't sleep. I am waiting for the FBI to ride into my apartment. And I am on edge all night thinking that they're coming in."
Yesterday, at a sparsely attended hearing, Bauer pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud, securities fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering and obstruction of justice. He faces up to 55 years in prison and millions in fines when he is sentenced March 13.
In addition, Bauer agreed to forfeit more than $23 million. That money will come from numerous trading and bank accounts he had used to facilitate the scheme, federal authorities said, and from Manhattan and Florida homes that Bauer had bought for more than $7 million.
U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said in April that the bust of the three sophisticated "industry professionals," in a scheme that involved $109 million in investments, represented the largest insider-trading takedown ever made by the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey.
"Today, Garrett Bauer admitted that he used confidential information, stolen from major law firms, to make tens of millions in one of the largest, longest-running insider trading schemes ever prosecuted," Fishman said yesterday. "After taking the lion's share of the $37 million in profits, Bauer now faces punishment for conduct that undermines the fairness of our financial markets and the public's trust in the safety of its investments."
Meanwhile, after the hearing, defense attorney Michael Bachner said his client — who has been under house arrest and electronic monitoring since last spring — had made more than 20 appearances in recent months at professional responsibility and ethics classes at area business and law schools, where he has told students that his nearly two decades of crime and riches were not worth it.
"He is remorseful beyond words for his conduct," Bachner said, adding that his client has been telling students "that the benefits (of crime) are temporal, and that the costs both emotionally and through the criminal justice system far outweigh the benefits."
Robinson, the "middleman" in the insider trading scheme, became a cooperator for the government early this year. He pleaded guilty in April to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and two counts of securities fraud and is awaiting sentencing. Kluger was charged in April and his case is pending, authorities added.

"I kind of got a helmet right on it and bruised it a little bit," Ingram said, "but I'll be all right."
Ingram finished Friday's 26-21 victory with only 30 yards on 16 carries, which was his lowest total since a 26-yard effort in last season's Sugar Bowl loss to Utah. He said he sustained the hip injury on a 9-yard reception on second-and-14 early in Alabama's final drive. Freshman Trent Richardson entered in his place.
"I went in to run and tried to cut on it," Ingram said, "and it just wasn't happening."
With Florida waiting a week from today in the SEC title game, Ingram now has an extra day to "rest and recover and get back to playing good football," coach Nick Saban said.
ARENAS' RECORD: With 67 yards on two punt returns, Javier Arenas passed Vanderbilt's Lee Nalley to break a 60-year SEC record. Arenas now has 1,725 career punt return yards to beat the 1,695 yards that Nalley tallied from 1947-49.
"It is great to get the record, but even better to win the game," Arenas said. "To go into Auburn and get the win, as a senior, and then also get the SEC punt return record will be something I can look back on after the season as something special. Records are something that you can sit back and enjoy when you are old and gray."
Nalley held the all-time NCAA record until earlier this decade, when Texas Tech's Wes Welker moved atop the list with 1,761 punt return yards, leaving Arenas 36 yards behind the current New England Patriots standout.
BACK-TO-BACK: With Friday's victory, Alabama joined Florida as the only teams to post back-to-back 8-0 records in SEC regular-season play since the league expanded in 1992 to 12 teams. The Gators accomplished the feat in 1995-96.
MORE FOR TIFFIN: Place-kicker Leigh Tiffin set two Alabama records Friday, passing Philip Doyle for the most field goals in a career with 80 and breaking his own mark for field goals in a season with 27.
Doyle kicked 78 field goals from 1987-90 for the Crimson Tide.
Tiffin was named one of three finalists last week for the Lou Groza Award. Through 12 games, he has converted 27 of 31 field goals.
LONGEST PLAYS: Auburn's offense managed the longest run and pass plays that Alabama has allowed in the Saban era.
Terrell Zachery's 67-yard touchdown run was the longest allowed by Alabama since former Arkansas star Darren McFadden's 70-yarder in 2005. The longest run the Crimson Tide had allowed this season was a 34-yard dash by LSU's Charles Scott.
And the 72-yard TD pass from Auburn's Chris Todd to Darvin Adams was the longest pass play allowed by Alabama in 10 years, dating back to a 73-yard pass by Florida in 1999.
HEALTHY SURVIVAL: Saban noted after the victory, "I don't think we got anybody injured bad," saying that Ingram's hip pointer was expected to be minor.
Left tackle James Carpenter and left guard Mike Johnson were limping at times during the game but both finished.
"I just had a little bit of soreness," Johnson said, "just small things. I'm not going to talk about injures, but it was nothing too big."
LARGEST DEFICIT: Auburn's 14-0 lead marked Alabama's largest deficit of the 2009 season. The Crimson Tide had trailed by no more than five points in any game, going back to a 15-10 fourth-quarter lead by LSU in Tuscaloosa.
STILL NO GRANT: Terry Grant did not make the trip to Auburn, marking the fourth consecutive game the reserve tailback has missed with an abdominal strain.
LATE ARRIVAL: Alabama's team bus arrived about 15 minutes late for Saturday's game because of a wreck on I-85 from Montgomery. The Crimson Tide made it in and began warmups in Jordan-Hare as planned.
LEAKED INFO: Alabama did not change its schedule after a detailed itinerary and the team's hotel order with the Renaissance Montgomery was leaked and wound up Wednesday night on an Auburn fan Web site.
The hotel investigated how the plans were leaked. Among the information was the cost of each room (including Saban's complimentary stay in the hotel's Presidential Suite), which players were rooming together, and times of all meals and travel plans for Alabama's coaches, team and officials.

Which slumping players are most likely to catch fire in the second half? For each team we will try to find the one single player whose talent and opportunity combines to create the best chance for a second-half scoring surge.
How can analytics help? So many factors can be quantified these days, each of which can have a huge influence on a player's scoring. To list just a few examples:
- How much ice-time they get, especially on the power play, according to NHL.com
- Who they play with, according to the data at Extra Skater
- The zones in which they primarily start their shifts (same source)
- The opponents they usually face (same source)
- Their shooting percentages, especially relative to previous career totals, according to Hockey Reference
- The shooting percentages of their linemates. And by linemates we mean all defensemen and forwards while they're on the ice, at even-strength only, according to Extra Skater
- And other factors, like injuries, participation in the Olympics, and so on.
For each team we will use these types of analytics to find a single player whose conditions are ideal for an increase in scoring, or for whom we anticipate a positive change in such conditions.
Of course, for each player we have both reasons to believe in a scoring increase, and reasons to doubt it. We'll complete the picture by including both the expectations set by analytics, and both viewpoints. Let's start in alphabetical order with the Anaheim Ducks (next slide).
All advanced statistics other than those above and those noted are via writer's own original research.

St. Tammany Parish government is working to bring new life to U.S. Highway 11 from Lake Pontchartrain to Pearl River. Boulevards, increased capacity, turning lanes and improved interchanges are bringing major changes to this busy road in eastern St. Tammany.
"Highway 11 was the commercial corridor for eastern St. Tammany," said Parish President Kevin Davis. "We have the opportunity now to restore its economic vitality. The first step is improving the road itself."
Until the interstate system was built in the second half of the last century, the country traveled along U.S. Highways, such as Highway 11 that begins in Bayou Sauvage and ends in Rouses Point, New York at the Canadian border. The interstate system replaced the US Highways as the primary route for interstate travel and the U.S. highway system became grid of local routes connecting the nation at a slower pace.
Highway 11 was no exception. St. Tammany's growth, however, has returned this highway to a busy traffic corridor, spurring development and opportunity. The projects are as varied at the highway's names in St. Tammany. US 11 is also known as Pontchartrain Drive and Front Street as it curves through the parish.
A series of projects are underway to improve this historic road. First, a traffic study is underway to incorporate all known developments along the highway corridor from Pearl River south to Interstate 12 for the next five years. The study will then guide road improvements at critical intersections to meet parish ordinance requirements for level of service. Once the improvements are identified, parish impact fees from the developments can be used to construct the improvements.
Known developments in the area include the Johnny Smith Memorial Industrial Park and the proposed industrial park by St. Joe Road. Rooms to Go is planning to build a warehouse and distribution center at the St. Joe site.
Just south of the traffic study site is the intersection of Highway 11, Interstate 12 and Brownswitch Road. Improvements to this busy intersection are being designed. Plans include:
US Highway 11 Northbound
Highway 11 northbound will be widened to accommodate dual left turn lanes at both the I-12 eastbound and I-12 westbound on-ramps. The widening will begin approximately 1000' south of the I-12 interchange.
US Highway 11 Southbound
The widening here will begin approximately 800'-1000' north of Browns Village Road. This will allow Highway 11 at the Browns Village intersection to have two through lanes both northbound and southbound, as well as an exclusive northbound left turn lane at the intersection. In addition, as you go south on US 11, right turn lanes will be added to access both the I-12 westbound and I-12 eastbound on-ramps.
I-12 Eastbound On-Ramp/Off-Ramp
The I-12 eastbound on-ramp will be widened to two lanes to accept the dual left turn movements coming from the US 11 northbound approach. These two lanes will merge into one lane in advance of the acceleration lane to the I-12 eastbound mainline. Also, the I-12 eastbound off-ramp will expand out from the one lane leaving the mainline to three lanes on the ramp itself. These will consist of two lanes turning left to go US 11 northbound, and one lane to turn right to proceed on US 11 southbound.
I-12 Westbound On-Ramp/Off-Ramp
As with the I-12 eastbound on-ramp, the I-12 westbound on-ramp will be widened to two lanes to accept the dual left turn movements coming from the Highway 11 northbound approach. These two lanes will merge into one lane in advance of the acceleration lane to the I-12 westbound mainline. The I-12 westbound off-ramp will expand out from the one lane leaving the mainline to three lanes on the ramp itself. These will consist of one lane turning left to go Highway 11 northbound, one lane to go straight through to Brownswitch Road, and one lane to turn right to proceed on Highway 11 southbound. The center lane use on the off-ramp can be modified if need be to a shared left/through lane. This will allow two lanes to turn left to proceed north on Highway 11.
Brownswitch Road
Brownswitch Road will become a 3-lane section roadway with the center lane dedicated for left turns from Highway 11 to just pass the restaurants.
St. Tammany Parish has scheduled a 'plan in hand' meeting with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development and utility companies for next week. At this meeting, the parish reviews the plans sheet by sheet and discusses any changes that may be needed. A field review is also planned. After these reviews, the plan is fixed and engineering may proceed.
As Highway 11 enters the City of Slidell, two major improvements have taken place in recent years with the addition of turn lanes at Lafayette Street and West Hall Avenue. These turn lanes have made significant improvements in traffic flow at these intersections. Both projects were funded through the Urban Systems program.
As Highway 11 moves south, it separates Eden Isles and the marsh lands along the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. Here, Hurricane Katrina did much of her worst damage, destroying most of the homes and fishing camps along the highway. This beautiful area is ideal for development as a residential, retail and restaurant corridor for locals and visitors alike.
While in Washington, D.C. last week, Parish President Kevin Davis met with Senator Mary Landrieu regarding Highway 11. The meeting resulted in the Senator obtaining a $3 million earmark in the Federal Highway Administration budget specifically for St. Tammany Parish government to use in upgrading the US Highway.
The Regional Planning Commission, which Davis chaired, is studying the feasibility of widening Highway 11 between Lake Pontchartrain and the Slidell city limits and between Highway 190 (Gause Blvd.) and Interstate 12.
The study will evaluate existing and future traffic conditions, existing and proposed land uses and their impact on traffic, near and long term road improvements, and basic traffic layouts with associated costs. An environmental inventory of the area immediately adjacent to the highway will also be included. This study is scheduled to be complete before the end of the year.
In addition, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development received funding in the coming fiscal year for Phase 1 of a feasibility study and environmental review to reconstruct and widen Highway 11 from Highway 190 (Gause Boulevard) north to Interstate 12.
"It is exciting to see so much action taking place," said Davis. "These improvements will improve traffic and spur economic development. It will be a tremendous asset to eastern St. Tammany."

BROCTON - Although its first meeting of the new year was brief, the Village of Brocton Board of Trustees had a lot to discuss regarding zoning issues.
Mayor J. Dale Abram updated the board on discussions taking place regarding use variance requests for businesses.
Recently, a Brocton business changed the type of business being offered, and the mayor reported that, in accordance with zoning codes, the business owner needed to go in front of the zoning board to ask for a use variance.
"Our code enforcement officer does not feel that's business-friendly," stated the mayor. "He is gathering together some paperwork for a proposal to make that situation more business-friendly, and for a future discussion, we may talk about changing all of the zoning requirements for use variances. Mr. Monaco thinks this would be a move in the right direction."
Regarding another zoning matter, the mayor reported his opinion to the board of trustees on the change request brought forward by Earl and Nicole Arnold, for a village property that the couple wishes to maintain horses on.
Reading from an official statement from the New York Conference of Mayors which was provided to the OBSERVER, Abram emphasized that "villages are not required to respond to a citizen petition for a zone change. If a village has not adopted a local procedure whereby a citizen may petition the village board for a change in district classification for a parcel of land, which is still an amendment to the zoning law, then a village board does not have to vote on, hold a public hearing on or even consider citizen requests for changes to zoning. Village boards may amend, modify, supplement or repeal their zoning laws as they see fit. Inclusion of this type of procedure in the zoning law may cause several problems. Most importantly, zoning must be adopted in accordance with a comprehensive plan. Amending zoning as a result of citizen petition can lead to 'spot zoning' and deviation from a comprehensive plan."
"Spot zoning," according to the NYCOM position statement is defined when a small parcel of land is singled out for a use that is totally different from that of the surrounding area, for the benefit of the owner and to the detriment of others. The mayor pointed out, that the comprehensive plan in use by the village does not shed any light on agricultural use of village property, pro or con.
"All of the property in the village is R1, R2 or commercial," noted Abram.
Village attorney Sam Drayo also read a provided statement quoting Section 1101 A(1) of the Brocton Zoning Law, noting that the village "may on its own motion or on petition amend the Zoning Law for the Village of Brocton, and that there is nothing in the Village Zoning Law or Village Law of the State of New York requiring the board to move forward and call a public hearing to change the law simply because a petition was presented to the board requesting a zoning change."
Drayo went on to add, "If the village decides it would like to proceed to amend the zoning law as it is requested by the Arnolds, then it should make sure the requested change is in accordance with a comprehensive plan. ... This means that the proposed amendment is calculated to benefit the community as a whole as opposed to benefit individuals or a group of individuals."
The mayor quoted Code Enforcement Officer John Monaco's concern that "10 continuous acres are required to pasture horses and that if enough acreage weren't located at that property, rezoning may not solve the issue."
Monaco, according to the mayor, asked that the Arnolds, who were not present at last week's meeting, re-apply with the Zoning Board of Appeals, which would need to vote unanimously for a re-hearing on the matter.
Trustee Art Donovan asked whether a matter of hardship could be considered for the couple to be able to use the parcel of land in question to keep horses. Drayo noted that at the time of petition, the zoning board would have looked into their situation for defining criteria of a hardship situation.
After some discussion, the board resolved to take no action on the request noting "it doesn't seem to be in village interest or village taxpayer interest."

IOWA CITY - For the sixth straight season, the Iowa women's basketball team is dancing.
The Hawkeyes were given a No. 9 seed for the upcoming NCAA tournament and will face eighth-seeded Miami (Fla.) in a first-round game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
"It says the tradition of this program, the stability of this program. I have to check my numbers, but I think there are only 13 other programs in the United States of America that have done that and we are the only Big Ten university that has done that over the last six years," Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said. "For us, it shows that our program has gotten to a great level - constant success and stability, and that means a lot."
First-round action for the Hawkeyes (20-12) and the Hurricanes (21-10) will tip off at 6:30 p.m. Sunday. The game will be televised on ESPN2.
"I really haven't seen Miami play this year," Bluder said. "I know they were in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge and I believe Michigan or Michigan State beat them, but I can't remember for sure. I don't know much about them, except I know their coach, she is from Wheaton, Ill., and went to the same high school my husband went to, that's all I know."
Bluder has led the Hawkeyes to 10 NCAA tournaments in her 13 years at Iowa. It is the 22nd trip to the Big Dance for the Hawkeyes and they are one of only 13 teams to appear in the last six NCAA tournaments, joining Iowa State, Baylor, Fresno State, DePaul, Tennessee, Stanford, Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, Duke, Georgia, Marist, Texas A&M and Connecticut.
"I'm so blessed to be a Hawkeye and for us to keep this (NCAA) run going - the tradition of everyone else who has done it, it's an amazing feeling," said Iowa guard Jaime Printy, who's a part of a senior class that will play in its fourth NCAA tournament. "I'm really proud of my team."
The Hurricanes finished tied for fourth in the ACC this season and Iowa and Miami share common opponents. Both teams played Penn State, Wisconsin, Florida State and North Carolina. Iowa beat Wisconsin twice and lost to Penn State, Florida State and North Carolina. Miami upset Penn State in Coral Gables and also defeated Wisconsin.
Morgan Stroman and Stefanie Yderstrom were both first-team all-ACC selections. Stroman leads the team with 12.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Yderstrom also scores 12 points per game.
The two teams have played twice in their history with Iowa winning both games in the 1985-86 season.
Iowa is a No. 9 seed for the second straight season and for the sixth time in school history.
"I was nervous. I was probably more nervous than any other year because there is always that chance that you don't make it," Printy said. "It does help that we're hosting and I was excited to find out who we would play and being here in front of our crowd and our fans, it's going to be fun."
Iowa will host NCAA tournament games for the 12th time in program history. The first came back in 1986. The Hawkeyes are 9-5 in NCAA tournament games played at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
"We have so many good things going on this week with our men being in the NIT, but I'm hoping that Hawkeye fans will want to come out to a couple national tournament games here in Carver-Hawkeye Arena this week," Bluder said. "I hope we get a good crowd. Last time we did host, out of the 16 sites, we were the fourth-highest attended site in America and I would love for us to do something like that again."
The Iowa-Miami winner will play the winner of the first game in Iowa City between top-seeded and No. 2 Notre Dame (31-1) and 16th-seeded UT-Martin (18-14). The second-round game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena will take place Tuesday.
