SALEM -- A strong line of thunderstorms swept through Salem County late Thursday night, bringing heavy rain, vivid lightning, and leaving more than 1,500 homes and businesses without power.
At 1 a.m. today, more than 1,500 Atlantic City Electric Co. customers remained without power.
Throughout its wide South Jersey service area, Atlantic City Electric was reporting more than 11,000 customers in the dark early this morning.
One line of storms rolled through Salem County around 8 p.m., but a second round that came through around 10 p.m. was even srronger.
There were reports of wires down, high winds ripping branches from trees and in the Monroeville section of the county, 1-inch sized hail.
The storms came at the end of a day where the temperature here soared to 97 degrees, a new record for June 9, breaking the old record of 96.
Many schools in the county closed early Thursday because of the high heat.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - An opportunistic Stapleton teen grabbed an iPhone dropped by a Staten Island Mall store employee, just moments before she could pick it up off the ground, police allege.
Police say Nickolas Elias, 18, snatched the phone at about 8 p.m. Wednesday, then fled up an escalator.
The woman filed a report with police, and the next day, she spotted Elias at the Mall and pointed him out to an officer, authorities allege.
Police charged Elias with fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and petit larceny, and issued him a summons to appear at Stapleton Criminal Court.

The most surprising thing about this SEC basketball season? There have been unusually few surprises.
I didn't realize just how predictable the 2012 campaign had been until I actually went back to look at the predictions.
The media foresaw most of these results way back in October.
The only surprise -- and it was a big one -- was Tennessee. The Volunteers were picked to finish in 11th place, and that looked like a solid guess for much of the year. But freshman Jarnell Stokes arrived and the Vols finished the season on an 8-1 run. Thanks to a complex three-way tiebreaker, they actually got the No. 2 seed in this week's SEC tournament.
No other team overachieved its preseason expectations by more than one spot in the standings.
Who underachieved? There were no major drops, but a few minor falls. The media picked the Arkansas Razorbacks to finish sixth; they finished ninth. Georgia was picked to finish eighth; the Bulldogs were in 10th place but got the 11th seed.
The top and bottom of the standings were the easiest. Kentucky, a unanimous first-place pick, went 16-0. South Carolina, a nearly unanimous last-place pick, went 2-14.

A Nor'easter will make for a nasty Monday. A developing coastal storm will bring periods of rain and wind into the valley for tomorrow. There may even be some wet snow mixing in from time to time with a minor accumulation in the higher elevations across Berkshire County. The heaviest rain and strongest winds will be found across eastern New England as they will be closer to the storm however even here in western Mass winds could gust up to 40 mph.
This storm will slowly move away on Tuesday however clouds will linger. The sun will be back on Wednesday and for the rest of the week along with milder temperatures. We could be close to 60 by the end of the week.
Have a great week!

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
What is the rise of tablet computers doing to business? Just this: By 2013, at least 25% of all users will consume business intelligence (BI) data exclusively on a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet.
The findings are part of a survey of roughly 200 organizations conducted by longtime BI market watcher Howard Dresner. From June to December of last year, he and his team found an unmistakable shift toward putting business data in the hands of employees in the field.
"In conversations with these organizations, we hear a similar story -- mobile BI is a great enabler. It allows the information to be accessed wherever and whenever the users need it," Dresner wrote in the study's concluding remarks.
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) and Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM ) deserve much of the credit. More than 40% of respondents using iPhones and iPads had deployed mobile BI as of December, Dresner's study found. More than 50% of organizations using the BlackBerry had similar designs.
BI is software for sifting through and making sense of large data sets. Mobile BI is analytical software built specifically for a mobile device. By acting to spread data far and wide, organizations hope to make better decisions, faster.
Investors should love this idea and the stocks behind them. Among public companies, I believe likely winners will be those that already have experience delivering functional BI in the lightweight mobile form factor. Qlik Technologies' (Nasdaq: QLIK ) in-memory BI system fits the mold nicely, while MicroStrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR ) is enjoying massive growth thanks in part to its apps for the iPad.
Enterprise incumbents IBM (NYSE: IBM ) , with its Cognos suite, and SAP (NYSE: SAP ) , with its BusinessObjects platform, are also not to be discounted. But in the fast-moving world of mobile devices and data, these behemoths may be starting from behind.
Do you agree? Disagree? Let us know what you think about the rise of tablets, mobile BI, and the ongoing shift toward accessing business data from anywhere using the comments box below. You can also rate Qlik Technologies and MicroStrategy in Motley Fool CAPS.

The state is funding $1.8 million for the Big Island's PISCES space center's plans to expand its aerospace technology testing facilities and providing $500,000 for the center's operations.
By allocating financial support to PISCES, the state intends to attract NASA and other space agencies from around the world as well as aerospace businesses and jobs to the state.
Since its founding in 2007, PISCES, the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems, has hosted research and testing of space technology.
Working with government, education, business and cultural interests on the Big Island, PISCES developed tests sites on the lower slopes of Mauna Kea, where the volcanic soil is more like the surface of asteroids, the moon and Mars than any other place on earth.
Through the careful use of these test sites, much progress has been made on technologies designed to help future robotic and human explorers survive and operate on harsh planetary surfaces. These include robots, rovers and equipment that can be used to make air and water for survival on another planet.
A new director took the helm of PISCES at its annual conference in Waikoloa this week, Rob Kelso, former NASA Space Shuttle Flight Director at Johnson Space Center, accepted the PISCES job on Nov. 1. DBEDT Deputy Director Mary Alice Evans announced Kelso's hiring following the retirement of Frank Schowengerdt, who headed PISCES for five years after serving as director of NASA's Research Partnership Centers.
"Our goal is to become the preferred provider for space agencies and commercial space businesses around the world that are developing technologies to help enable and sustain planetary surface exploration," Kelso told PISCES conference attendees.
"When we have some specifics on any expansion or new facility development, we will continue the PISCES tradition of sharing our plans and involving the community here in Hawaii," said Kelso. "We want to build long-term partnerships and provide a valuable resource for local business and economic development and education. For example, any new facility will feature public exhibits and education programs."
Kelso announced that PISCES plans to host special tests of the robotic rovers competing for the international Google Lunar X-Prize, a $30 million competition for the first privately funded team to send a robot to the moon. A Japanese rover from the multinational White Label Space team is being showcased at the Waikoloa conference along with a robot excavator from the University of Alabama, which recently won a NASA robotic competition. Both robots will be demonstrated at the PISCES test site this Friday.
The legislation supporting the expansion of PISCES, signed into law by Gov. Neil Abercrombie June 27, 2012, folded the center into the State Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, DBEDT. For the past five years, PISCES has been affiliated with the University of Hawaii at Hilo.

Hi Chuck, At the minimum you would want to use a high power balun to interface the unballanced coax with the ballanced 450 ohm line. As to why type or impediance of balun, that would be determined by the impediance of the 450 ohm line at the operating frequency you intend to operate. I ran some numbers using EZNEC +5.0 for a 135' inverted V dipole 40' high at the center and 10' high at each end. I modeled the 90' of 450 ohm line you said you could use. Here is what I got: Freq. R J 3.8 46 -59 7.2 31 -71 14.2 170 +677 21.3 159 -486 28.5 130 +254 AS you can see the R ohms would work for a 1:1 balun on 80m and 40m but a 2 or 3:1 balun would work better on 20m, 15m and 10m. The J ohms are reactance caused by the length of the antenna not being exact multipuls of the frequencies I used on my calculations. For this reason, at home, I bring the 450 ohm line in through the window and use a Johnson KW matchbox to provide an EXACT match to the 50 ohm line at any frequency. You could adjust the antenna length to give a lower J at the operating frequencies if you are not able to use a good ballance antennal tuner. I do not know what stress you would place on the balun if you tried to use one size to fit all but ,what the heck, its only a hobby.... Hope this helps, Dennis ,k0eoo ---- email@example.com wrote: > Gang- > > After some serious tree trimming, I now have room to fit a full sized wire > antenna where my G5RV is right now.

Open Stage of Harrisburg presents the musical 'A Christmas Memory', adapted from a short story by Truman Capote, for a month-long run beginning Friday night.
With opening night just after Thanksgiving, it's apt that this is a show that's fundamentally about gratitude--a famous writer's recognition that what was best about his life happened a long time ago.
'A Christmas Memory' is set in rural Alabama in the mid 1930s. The plot revolves around the close relationship between a 7-year-old boy, Buddy, a thinly veiled stand-in for Capote, and his slightly off-the-wall cousin, Miss Sook. She's an older woman, unreservedly devoted to the child. The young Buddy and his adult self both appear in the play, with several additional eccentric characters.
Anne Alsedek plays Miss Sook. Open Stage regulars Tony Leukus and Sharia Benn join others, including Peter Ariano as the young Buddy. The Alsedek's dog, Sheba, makes her Open Stage debut as Queenie.
Stuart Landon, OSH's marketing manager, plays the Capote character as an adult. "Life was always full of wonder for Miss Sook," he said. "She opens a little boy's eyes to the world around him."
"Their delightful adventures are suitable for the entire family," he said about the personalities in the play. "The songs and lyrics are lovely. You'll leave moved, with toes tapping."
The story, director Don Alsedek said, is Capote's attempt to recreate the only time of his life when he was truly happy.
The writer's life did not begin auspiciously. His mother abandoned him soon after his birth. His first 7 years were spent in a household made up of an extended family of bizarre but loving characters. 'A Christmas Memory' is about Capote's final days of happiness as a member of that household.
One of America's most celebrated 20th century writers, Capote may be remembered as much for his unconventional life, as depicted in recent movies, as for his fiction, which includes such iconic works as 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and 'In Cold Blood'.
Reportedly Capote's very favorite of his writings, 'A Christmas Story' has been adapted for TV twice since it appeared in 'Mademoiselle' magazine in 1956. This musical adaptation is from 2010. According to its librettist, Duane Poole, it has only recently received its final trimming and polishing. This is its premiere in the northeast.
Poole was at home in California when I spoke to him by phone. "It's surprising how little Christmas there is in it," he said of Capote's tale, which Poole said is his most beloved work of American literature.
Adapting the story, which he said Poole remembers hearing, then reading throughout his childhood, was the most satisfying creative experience of his life, he said. It's led to a subsequent collaboration with the show's composer, Larry Grossman, who wrote the music for 'Snoopy-The Musical'.
David Glasgow is music director for 'A Christmas Memory'. His day job is also as music director of the church of the Unitarian Universalists of the Cumberland Valley. As an ordained pastor, he brings a particular viewpoint to the production.
"The power of the show," he said, "comes from the way it looks at flawed lives and how good can come out of difficult circumstances. It deals with the myths of our past and how we come to terms with them."
"This is a story about ourselves and not some folks in Alabama," Glasgow continued. "It's also about how far we can strip down Christmas and have it be a meaningful holiday, transcending the sectarian baggage that can be loaded on top of it."
Musical theater exists," he added, "because some emotions are too strong for words alone. If we can't say it, we have to sing it."
Librettist Poole put it this way--"It's the most wonderful story about the heart of Christmas and what's most important this time of year--family and friends."
If you go: 'A Christmas Memory', 11/29-12/29, Open Stage of Harrisburg, 223 Walnut St., Harrisburg. 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays; 2 p.m., Sundays. Tickets: $30; students, $21; Info: openstagehbg.com or 717-232-6736.

There are products made for polishing aircraft windshields. Nothing worse than landing into the sun with tiny scratches in the windshield. You could try mail order (e.g. Sporty's Pilot Shop, Aircraft Spruce, or equivalent) or just go down to the local small airport and ask around. Take your controller with you and you might get a free trial? Basically they're a fine grit in a paste.

MADISON, Alabama - The fiscal 2013 budget for Madison Utilities operation and maintenance will increase 5.7 percent, but the good news for its customers is that for the second straight year, rates will not go up.
The Madison Utilities board of directors heard a first reading on the proposed budget at Tuesday night's meeting and will vote on it at its Oct. 1 meeting.
The 5.7 percent increase will raise the O&M budget to $12,940,246 with a $4,000 surplus, said Ricky Pounders, general manager of Madison Utilities, which provides water and wastewater services to residents of Madison.
"It's a good budget and in the black," said Pounders. "Growth is allowing us to sustain the 5.7 percent increase. We could not do it without growth. The system is in good shape financially. It's a good foundation to build on."
On the flip side, the capital budget will have a decrease of 8.7 percent and will come in at $4,308,050 for fiscal 2013, down from $4.7 million last year.
"While the system needs are great, the current economy, and MU revenue sources require that we maintain a lean capital budget for FY13," said Pounders. "While the FY13 capital budget is lean, it does address critical needs."
Over the past seven years, the capital budget reached a high of $21 million in 2008 and a low of $2.4 million in 2006. The company has a cash reserve of $1 million, total bond funds of $1,050,000, and nonrecurring revenue estimated to be $1.4 million for 2013.
Pounders said the utility will deplete all bond funds during this fiscal year and the board may need to consider a new bond fund during the last quarter of FY13 for use in the following budget years.
The capital projects budget Pounders proposes for the coming year is around $1.6 million for both water and sewer systems, $548,250 for administration improvements, including a new roof and renovations in the utility's administration office on Ray Sanderson Drive, and a capital payroll of $500,000.
Pounders said the "most critical" capital need is a $200,000 generator for the Drake station, which provides one-quarter of the city's raw water supply.
The board will meet Oct. 1 at 5:30 p.m. at 101 Ray Sanderson Drive.

Paper Heroes: Make your own Emma Frost
My Paper Heroes shared his Emma Frost model for fans to create their own. Isn't she adorable?
[Download PDF]
Directions from the blog:
All of the models created on these pages are printed on plain A4 paper. All you need is a colour printer.
Heres a quick few tips that might help you with making the models
1) Cover ALL tabs with double sided sticky tape.
2) then cut out the shapes and stick them together (warning : they can get a bit fiddly but shouldnt be anything TOO complicated.
3) When you make the heads, I find it easier to stick the neck part together, and then stick the rest of the head together afterwards.
A friend who has made several paper models recommends using cardstock for the best results.

Water was chosen as the topic for this first European Environment Agency/United Nations Environment Programme (EEA/UNEP) "State of the Environment Message" because water affects every aspect of human existence and because its availability and quality are severely threatened in many parts of Europe. Water is a daily touchstone in the life of every citizen, sustaining health, economic development and ecosystems. If Europe continues without check to use and pollute its water resources as it is doing today, irreparable harm will be done to fresh-water resources, leading to restrictions of water use, conflict over water supplies, increased health risks, and possible economic losses. Many initiatives on water are being taken by the EU, UNEP and European countries, aimed at radically improving the way water resources are used and managed across Europe - but these changes need the informed support of all European citizens. Both the more efficient use of water by households, industry and agriculture, and new political agreements on water management between regions and across political boundaries are needed if severe water crises are to be avoided. The purpose of this Message is to help build the public understanding and political support needed for improving the way Europes water resources are used and managed.
The EEA provides objective, reliable and comparable information on Europes environment for those concerned with framing and implementing European and national environmental policy, and for the public.
UNEP is the environmental conscience of the United Nations system, having a mandate to provide leadership and to encourage partnerships in caring for the environment, with a strong regional emphasis.

This briefing is part of the EEA's report The European Environment - State and Outlook 2015. The EEA is an official agency of the EU, tasked with providing information on Europe's environment.

By Casey Peacock: PNT Staff Writer
The city of Portales animal shelter has developed a new system of reuniting lost pets and owners.
Working in conjunction with the Portales News-Tribune and KSEL radio, the shelter will make daily public service announcements about lost and located pets.
"It's another way to find a pet," Senior Animal Control Officer Wally Chambers said.
Forms to describe pets will be available at the animal shelter, PNT and KSEL.
The PNT will be able to place a free lost-and-found pet ad in its classified section for five days, PNT Classified Ad Manager Leslie Nagy said. The paper for years gave away three-day pet ads. This agreement with the city expands that time frame.
KSEL will announce the information during the morning show, according to station co-owner Steve Rooney.
"We're trying to make it easier for people to get the info out to help people get their pets back," said Portales' Quaylene Parkey, who helped launch the new program.
At a glance
Once an animal is captured by animal control, the owners have three days to claim the animal. When the three days are up, animals who are deemed adoptable are then placed up for public adoption. For more information, contact the Portales Animal Shelter at 356-4404.

Most people who go to a bed and breakfast do so to relax and get away from it all.
Not the Mobile County school board, which just wrapped up a two-day retreat at the Montrose Hideaway off Scenic 98.
Some have criticized the board's decision to go to Baldwin County. But the board members did pay for their own rooms at the bed and breakfast (which is for sale, by the way, for $1.6 million).
And they bought their own meals, including dinner at David's Catfish, where board member Reginald Crenshaw reportedly ate six catfish.
Bill Meredith got the fanciest room in the inn with the giant bathtub. Judy Stout, the only female, picked the pink room. Levon Manzie and Crenshaw, the two newest members who seem to stick together, got adjoining rooms in the suite. Board President Ken Megginson and Superintendent Roy Nichols were intwo modest rooms down the main hallway.
I was there for most of the retreat.
Board members -- Stout, literally -- kicked off their shoes and got down to business:
-- They hashed out a plan to spend $30 million in construction money. (See the plan in Friday's Press-Register).
-- They set new goals for Superintendent Roy Nichols.
-- And they evaluated how they perform as a board. (More on that later in the Press-Register).
"The retreat was a wonderful opportunity to engage each other and be more direct and frank with each other," Manzie said. "We cut through some of the friction and came to some decisions." <

Born at Andernach, 1823; died at Cologne, 1888. He practised his profession of sculptor chiefly at Cologne under the cathedral architect Zwirner. After some early ornamental work at Mains and Coblens, Mohr settled in Cologne in 1845. He first executed the statuettes on the tomb of Archbishop Conrad of Hochstaden, the founder of the cathedral. Of importance are his figures of Christ, the Evangelists, and fifty-nine angels on the south portal of the cathedral, where the rich variety of the added symbols excites admiration. On the commission of Emperor William I the eight statues in the middle hall were executed. The "St. Peter" for the middle portal won Mohr the first-class medal at the Paris Exhibition of 1855. He also carved the statue of the first Cologne cathedral architect, Gerhard Riele, and that of the veteran painter of the Cologne school, Stephan Lochner. He undertook many commissions outside of Cologne: the panoramic figures for the assembly-hall at Düsseldorf, the thirty-four figures of the emperors for the Rathaus at Aachen, the equestrian statues for the Fürstenbergische Schloss at Herdringen, the portrait effigies of the Princes of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, the figures for the fountain on the market-place at Lübeck, etc. For more than forty years he was thus engaged at Cologne, executing commissions for that city and other places. The cathedral is indebted to him for the best of its sculptural decoration; the Rathhaus for the statues of the emperors, and the Museum for the bust of Michelangelo, which in 1873 secured for Mohr the honour of being made a regular member of the K. K. Akademie of Vienna. Mohr was equally esteemed as an art-collector and connoisseur of classical and German antiquities. His household furniture represented the art of the Dürer period. That he was not opposed to the Renaissance is proved by a beautiful silver epergne in that style. Finally, he appears as a writer on art in the works "Köln in seiner Glanzzeit" and "Kölner Torburgen". For his knowledge and his achievements he was indebted for the most part to his personal exertions, since he was practically self-educated; and, even though in many cases he only executed the plans of Schwanthaler, still numerous independent works display both talent and taste.
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.

There has been a lot of talk in these last few months about "change." And while that is a good and necessary prospect in some quarters, at Snug Harbor we remain committed to providing the citizens of New Orleans, and its visitors too, the best music out there. That's why we present Charmaine Neville and Friends every Monday and Irvin Mayfield and NOJO Jam most Wednesdays, or have Ellis Marsalis at the piano most Fridays. These are just some examples of our continued effort of "Putting Jazz First." Below, please see our platform for November:
Dutch Treat: We start this eleventh month with the return of the extraordinary and whimsical Willem Breuker Kollektief. This ensemble from the Netherlands plays "distinct, intriguing and playful music, rich in unexpected turns, sudden shifts in musical mood and a fine sense of irony." Their last visit to the showroom was a singular experience. Don't miss it.
And don't forget, free Saturday midnight shows througout November.
One State, Two State, Red State, Blue State: Our quadrennial election of the president is finally upon us and this campaign season has been especially maddening. So we suggest that after casting your vote on November 4th, you come to Snug Harbor for Jessie McBride's Tuesday night doings with The Next Generation. No interactive maps, no partisan punditry...Just a single projection: great jazz every Tuesday.
Let's Misbehave: Brooklyn's Tim Collins brings his genre-busting vibraphone to Snug Harbor on Thursday the 6th for an evening of what one critic has called "music that doesn't behave." Then there's more mallet action on Friday the 28th when drummer turned vibraphoinist Jason Marsalis leads his Vibes quartet.
Avant Savant: The Chicago Tribune endorsed the sounds of German pianist George Grawe thusly: "alluring, shimmering music packed with ideas." He'll be joined by local heroes; saxophonist Tim Green and drum master Johnny Vidacovich on Sunday the 9th for a night of jazz on the edges.
A-1 B-3: Joey DeFrancesco burst on to the jazz scene in the late 80's, joining the Miles Davis band at the age of seventeen. He never left. The New York Times says "The Hammond B-3 organ doesn't have a more effective evangelist than DeFrancesco" He brings his trio to the intimate confines of Snug showroom for a two night B-3 revival meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 11th and 12th .
Jazz Giant: Guitar legend Larry Coryell, a founder of the Jazz Fusion movement, has been wowing critics and jazz fans alike for more than 40 years. That career is detailed in his autobiography "Improvising: My Life in Music," published last year. On Thursday the 13th Coryell is here, joined by pianist David Torkanowsky, bass slapper Roland Guerin & drum whacker Simon Lott.
Eh Las Bas!: Multi-instrumentalist Don Vappie has knack for revivifying unjustly ignored tunes from jazz repertoire from the likes of McKinney's Cotton Pickers, say, or Mills' Blue Rhythm Band as well as Creole favorites championed by Danny Barker and Albert Nicholas. His Creole Jazz Serenaders will go deep into that book of tunes on Saturday the 15th.
Box the Boswell Exacta: Hailing from Portland, Oregon, the Stolen Sweets draw inspiration from New Orleans' own revolutionary swing harmony trio, the Boswell Sisters. They return on Saturday the 22nd, joined by our own purveyors of Boswelliana, the Pfister Sisters...a definite harmonic convergence.
But there's mo': Free 3 p.m. shows every Sunday in November presented by the Heritage Show of Music.

Bedroom was big with another area meant to be a living room. Big drawback is that the bathrooms really smelled bad( it is because of some peculiar cleaner they use ). Even the bed smelled like pee. Food served at the restaurant was really bad!!!!
The surroundings are beautiful. Very 'Tahitian' - thundering surf, burning torches in the evening in front of the open air (hot!) restaurant. Room overlooking ocean with a nice good size patio.
Surly male staff at front desk. Elevators and vending machines out of order. Protruding rusty screws in pool lights ( be careful!)By 3 PM no more pool towels. No USA outlets in room, only European. Bring adaptor or buy an overpriced one at the 'boutique'
Very close to downtown Pape'ete and close to the docks. Room simple but clean and nicely functional
DARK hallways, no restaurant, no English channel on the TV (only French)
The price and proximity to downtown
The graffiti on the side of the building
Not a bad choice when you need a Ferry the next day. Location is great but the air conditioning is noisy. The hallways and elevator is horribly HOT! Bed was comfortable but TV is all in French.
Simple but Friendly. Could use some updating
Needs updating
Rooms modern, clean and comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff.
Ideally situated to walk to center of town with Public Market etc. Also in walking distance to Ferry/Cruise Ship terminals - but not with suitcases due to street construction and heavy traffic
Mountain view and side rooms are quiet. Rooms facing street have traffic noise all night long....
Location of hotel in heart of Papette is convenient location. However I did not find the reception staff overly helpful when our Air France departure flight was cancelled on Friday, Sept 25 and did not fly out until Sunday Sept 27 at 3:00 am.
Location of our room was on main avenue and very noisy. Also the sliding glass door to the balcony would not lock so they delivered a piece of wood to jam in the door frame. Whilst the room was large is was impersonal. the room and the hotel in general was very dark.
The staff were helpful. Good location.
The place was tough to find. No signs and in pitch black. Which is odd because you can see it plain as day in front of you, but you can't find the way in. The driveway wasn't lit and the front porch was covered in dog shit. The rooms are sparse, no blankets and the sheets were dirty. Breakfast was a bit of a joke. Canned fruit and cornflakes.
I strayed here with my husband and two kids ages 3 and 7. It was clean and up to date. U can walk to and from the airport and the market. It's about $20 can ride into town.
Clean and up to date
absolutely gorgeous. Fresh water pool and a natural pond with beautiful fish that you could swim with.
Beautiful, clean, classy, good staff, and excellent accommodation.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Automatic Defense Cuts in the NewsPosted by Randy | April 05, 2012
Don't miss the following news clips on the impact of automatic defense cuts featured on the House Armed Service Committee Drumbeat blog.
In addition, this article in the Wall Street Journal discusses how industry is bracing for defense cuts:
Contingency Planning Includes Massive Layoffs and Closing Facilities
The Wall Street Journal reports that as sequestration looms, major industry players are doing contingency planning that includes layoffs and closing facilities:
"The Pentagon has told congressional leaders it will start planning this summer to make the sharp reductions in military spending set to begin in January if lawmakers don't reach a broad deal to reduce the federal budget deficit.
"Several major defense contractors already have begun contingency planning, anticipating they may have to lay off employees, close facilities and reduce other costs if the spending cuts take effect.
"Many lawmakers on Capitol Hill don't expect to start serious negotiations over how to avoid the defense cuts until after the November elections…But the Pentagon has warned it can't wait that long to begin preparations for the possible layoffs of tens of thousands of federal workers and other fallout from major cuts in spending.
"Some defense contractors worry the Pentagon could begin delaying certain decisions on new projects as it tries to reprioritize its spending…
"'It's become clear to the companies that sequestration is a real possibility,' said Stan Soloway, chief executive of the Professional Services Council, a trade association for government contractors…
"If no deficit-reduction deal is reached, the law calls for the defense budget to be cut by more than $50 billion a year, or roughly 10% of the agency's $531 billion base budget. The cut would last for 10 years, and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said the impact would be disastrous.
"Several senior Republicans, including House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard 'Buck' McKeon of California, have proposed delaying the cuts in the first year…
"The uncertainty has alarmed government officials and defense companies, which now have less than eight months to prepare for cuts and possible layoffs…
"Frank Kendall, the Pentagon's acting under secretary for acquisition, technology and logistics, told Congress last week that the automatic cuts were 'intended to be so crazy that nobody would ever do it.'
"Mr. Panetta would have little discretion to direct where the cuts would occur, meaning virtually every defense program would be hit.
"The aerospace and defense industry is pleading with Congress to reach a deal soon to avert the cuts. The industry employs about one million workers. Last year, the Aerospace Industries Association, a trade group, released a study that projected the sector would lose in the neighborhood of 350,000 direct and supplier jobs under the automatic cuts.
"Robert J. Stevens, chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin Corp., told lawmakers and congressional aides last month that the spending cuts' impact on the defense industry would be 'devastating.'
"'We ask that we not let an automatic budget trigger, a default position, become the dominant force for allocating resources that will shape our nation's security posture and our industry, and we strongly urge action to stop this process,' Mr. Stevens said at a Senate Aerospace Caucus luncheon.
"Dan Beck, a Boeing Co. spokesman, said his company already had begun to prepare for the impact of a possible 'worst-case scenario' of Pentagon cuts.
"Credit-rating agencies have raised questions about the effect of cuts on defense companies' finances.
"Fitch Ratings said last week that the 'threat of across-the-board defense cuts' was a concern and could affect Northrop Grumman Corp., a large defense contractor, but Fitch said it 'expects a legislative resolution could reduce this risk, particularly with the respect to the timing of the cuts.'"

We are starting to win the fight for our nation. We must continue to put pressure on government officials. Arrest company owners and fine businesses hiring illegal aliens. Take away their business licenses. Arrest and fine anyone who helps an illegal alien hide from authorities. That includes churches. Take away their tax exemption. Finally, arrest and deport illegal aliens. If they have committed crimes, let them do time and then deport them. Let's get petitionsgoing to have our towns participate in the 287(g) program, which helps local police deal with the illegal alien problem.

NEW YORK – Mixed earnings reports and a stronger dollar helped stocks finish about where they started Tuesday.
The Dow Jones industrial average wavered within a 100-point range as traders attempted to parse the direction of the economy amid a drop in home prices, a batch of weak earnings reports and a slight rise in consumer confidence.
Stocks started the day with losses after disappointing results from Texas Instruments Inc., U.S. Steel Corp., Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. Du Pont, one of the 30 companies that make up the Dow average, fell 1 percent even though it beat estimates. Investors have been having high expectations this season with three out of every four companies besting analyst estimates.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 5.41 points, or 0.1 percent, to 11,169.46. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 0.02 to 1,185.64, while the technology-focused Nasdaq composite index rose 6.44, or 0.3 percent, to 2,497.29.
The 30 stocks in the Dow were split down the middle, with half falling and half rising. Microsoft Corp. rose 2.8 percent to lead the index, while Procter & Gamble fell 1.1 percent as the measure's laggard.
A gain in consumer confidence this month helped stocks pare their losses and then edge higher in afternoon trading.
"The consumer confidence numbers were encouraging," said Bernie McSherry, vice president of strategic initiatives at Cuttone and Co. It's a sign shoppers "may be reaching into their wallets heading into the holiday shopping season."
Ford Motor Co. and Coach Inc. were among the few bright spots in the big batch of earnings reports released Tuesday.
Shares of Netflix Inc. rose $10.78, or 6.4 percent, to $177.62 amid rumors that the company may be a target of an acquisition by Apple Inc.
Traders were moving out of riskier assets as the dollar strengthened. A stronger dollar makes stocks and commodities more expensive because they are priced in dollars. The dollar rose against Japan's yen and the euro Tuesday.
Home prices slid in August, renewing concerns about the health of the housing market. Fifteen of the 20 cities measured in the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index saw price declines.
Bond prices fell slightly. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, rose to 2.64 percent from 2.56 percent late Monday.
Trading volume on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange came to 965 billion shares.
Stocks eke out gains following mixed earnings reports, stronger dollar

Yesterday's column on women in combat elicited a number of passionate responses from both sides. Some of them came from proponents of the move, frequently citing alternate motives on my part. These ranged from "trying to keep women pregnant in the kitchen" and "Republicans want to lock women in the 1950s" to whichever variant of the GOP's "war on women" you'd care to name. Many others lent a more sympathetic ear. One in particular, though, caught my attention. It was from one of America's female veterans who served in Iraq, delivered with a first hand, been there, done that background. The Marine in question – who for purposes of publication will go by the pseudonym of "Sentry" – had previously submitted this history and opinion as a comment at National Review, but her story was compelling enough that I checked into her background, contacted her and decided to republish it here in its entirety. I offer the following as a third party testimony to stand your scrutiny on its own merits.
I'm a female veteran. I deployed to Anbar Province, Iraq. When I was active duty, I was 5'6, 130 pounds, and scored nearly perfect on my PFTs. I naturally have a lot more upper body strength than the average woman: not only can I do pull-ups, I can meet the male standard. I would love to have been in the infantry. And I still think it will be an unmitigated disaster to incorporate women into combat roles. I am not interested in risking men's lives so I can live my selfish dream.
We're not just talking about watering down the standards to include the politically correct number of women into the unit. This isn't an issue of "if a woman can meet the male standard, she should be able to go into combat." The number of women that can meet the male standard will be miniscule–I'd have a decent shot according to my PFTs, but dragging a 190-pound man in full gear for 100 yards would DESTROY me–and that miniscule number that can physically make the grade AND has the desire to go into combat will be facing an impossible situation that will ruin the combat effectiveness of the unit. First, the close quarters of combat units make for a complete lack of privacy and EVERYTHING is exposed, to include intimate details of bodily functions. Second, until we succeed in completely reprogramming every man in the military to treat women just like men, those men are going to protect a woman at the expense of the mission. Third, women have physical limitations that no amount of training or conditioning can overcome. Fourth, until the media in this country is ready to treat a captured/raped/tortured/mutilated female soldier just like a man, women will be targeted by the enemy without fail and without mercy.
I saw the male combat units when I was in Iraq. They go outside the wire for days at a time. They eat, sleep, urinate and defecate in front of each other and often while on the move. There's no potty break on the side of the road outside the wire. They urinate into bottles and defecate into MRE bags. I would like to hear a suggestion as to how a woman is going to urinate successfully into a bottle while cramped into a humvee wearing full body armor. And she gets to accomplish this feat with the male members of her combat unit twenty inches away. Volunteers to do that job? Do the men really want to see it? Should they be forced to?

I had emergency small bowel resection in March of 2013, which left a pretty nasty scar, Although I was blessed to be alive I always wanted the scar fixed. I consulted with Dr Moliver and he decided to do a scar revision with lipo. The surgery went very well and the scar looks so amazing. Dr... READ MORE

I just got a job at Ulta! I know probably nobody here will care lol but I'm super-excited & was wondering if any of you have any advice about working there or product recommendations for me. I have tried Bare Escentuals, & alot of the drugstore products, but not a whole lot else. I'm supposed to just wear makeup sold at Ulta while I work. They sell lines like Bourjois, Lola (which I've been meaning to try for the longest time just because of the packaging lol), Smashbox, ect.

Congrats! Some Ultas sell UDPP, so that's definitely something to look into if you don't use it. I also LOVE their MMU. Smashbox is a good brand too. Some Ultas also sell Sexy Hair Concepts, which I happen to be a fan of their products. Maybe just go in the store one day and browse to see what strikes your fancy. Ulta sells a lot of good brands.

OMG I'm super jealous too! I looked on their website and they're hiring at my Ulta for beauty consultants that only require a HS diploma and some knowledge of the products. And MUA which obviously requires a cosmetology license and I'm still working on the plans on when I'm going. I really wanna work there tho. My husband said "you already have a job" so I don't know. I think I'd be to shy and intimidated that I know nothing about the products. Except a few smashbox.
Congrats, have fun!

Thanks so much ladies! All of you rock. I'll definitely check out the lines/products you told me about. I've always shopped at Ulta for hair & skin care (I also love the Sexy Hair Concepts line btw.), perfume, & lots of various other things that they sell there. It's just the makeup that unfortunately I don't know much about. I'm sure I will have lots of fun working there though. I get a 50% discount on all salon services Monday through Thursday, which I am so happy about. I think all my paychecks are just going to go right back to Ulta. lol

Over the years, I have often wondered about the effect of expectations on a team, especially one that competes at the high school level.
It is especially pertinent now with football kicking off three weeks from Friday when Anderson County travels to Bryan Station for the inaugural meeting between the schools. Suffice it to say that in 26 years of writing and about 20 more of generally following Bearcat football, I have rarely seen expectations so high before the first tackle is ever made or the first block ever executed.
The Central Kentucky Mudcats' 14-and-under baseball team rallied from a slow start to win the Knoxville Summer Slam tournament, held in Knoxville, Tenn., over the weekend.
They knocked of host team Knoxville Naturals 4-2 in the championship game. Earlier, the Naturals beat the Mudcats 5-2.
The Mudcats lost to the Tennessee Stars 9-7 before catching fire with a 7-2 win over the Thunder, of Anderson County, Tenn.
The Mudcats will host the fifth annual Mudcats Classic this weekend at Anderson County High School.
Anderson County native Ryan Wells made the most of limited time under center with the Northern Kentucky River Monsters of the Ultimate Indoor Football League.
Wells served as backup to former University of Kentucky and New York Giants' quarterback Jared Lorenzen for the team.
Wells, who played high school football at Anderson County before transferring to Western Hills for his senior year, earned the UIFL Offensive Player of the Week award for his performance against the East Kentucky Drillers.
The Central Kentucky Mudcats baseball team will be hosting the Fifth Annual Central Kentucky Mudcats Classic from Friday, July 29 through Sunday, July 31 at Barnes Memorial Field on the campus of Anderson County High School.
"We have a very strong field for the tournament," says Mudcat coach Chris Copenhaver. "We had five more teams wanting in the tournament but with only one field, we had to cap it at seven. Word is getting around that this is a good tournament now and teams remember that.
The Central Kentucky Mudcats' 12-and-under softball team went 4-2 in the National Softball Association tournament held at Anderson County Community Park on July 15-17.
The finish was good enough for fourth place and ran the team's record to 6-4 on the summer.
The Mudcats defeated the Lunachiks by forfeit and later defeated the Ambush 12-1, the Richmond All-Stars 11-2 and the Eastern Kentucky Storm 6-1.
The team lost to the eventual runner-up, the Taylor County Cardinals, 4-3, and the Madison County Jinx 5-3.
The Kentucky Rockers' 16-and-under McCoy softball team won the American Softball Association B state championship the weekend of July 16-17 at Woodford County Park. The Rockers won all five games, outscoring the opposition 32-13.
The Rockers defeated the Lexington Riot 8-0 as Sarah Griffie, of Anderson County, and Rachel McCoy combined for a shutout. The Rockers also defeated the Louisville Stars 5-3.
Most people I know really like, if not love, baby animals.
The reaction to them is much the same as the actions towards our own babies of the human race. We all love to watch the little tricycle motors grow up and watch in amazement as they go from crying, eating and cooing poop machines to the adults of the future. They need nurturing and a lot of care to reach a point of independence. Baby animals, however, are typically not as helpless as human babes or nearly as helpless as humans think. That brings me to the main point of my column this month.
The first fall hunting season in Kentucky opens in less than a month. Here are some highlights of what's to come:
The 2011-2012 Kentucky Hunting & Trapping Guide is being printed and will be mailed to license vendors statewide next week.
The 66-page guide is free, and details the season dates, bag limits and regulations for deer, elk, bear, turkey, small game and furbearers.

Pleasant Hill Christian Church was destroyed by fire at 5:30 p.m. July 19.
Several residents heard when lightning struck but did not know what was hit. Charles Burgin immediately went in his car to see if the church had been struck but didn't see any evidence so he returned to his home for supper. A short time later he looked in the direction of the church and saw the entire building in flames.
Lightning struck in a gable and was burning in the loft.

Automatic Scanning Of Every License Plate For Crime and Terrorism
Prison Planet | January 16, 2007
Once again a predatory police state society is being created. Police policing everyone now? Searching Everyone will be the norm. What's the purpose for this? Mega income generation from catching everyone who has expired tags and or plates??
Of course they will be highlighting the car involved in the robbery, etc to get the public to support there own enslavement.
As the officer said in the short video: "ALPR is going to revolutionize the way we police in North America."
Notice he didn't say United States, but North America - yes my friends the North American Union where the Constitution will be shredded for a Treaty which is illegal and the American people don't have a clue.
Is this what will become of the "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave?"
And while this is being developed so is the use of:
1. Camera surveillance everywhere
2. RFID Tracker chips in cars
3. RFID tracking chips in things you buy at the store
4. Biometric ID cards which will become law in every state come 2008 which will contain all your biometric data, financial info including your credit and banking, your medical data, criminal record if any, education, and travel behaviors - if you do not have this card you will not be able to drive or travel and eventually will not be able to buy or sell or work
5. Ground penetrating radar that can see through walls for law enforcement
6. Wiretapping all phones including cell technology using extensive keyword software
7. Bio and body scans at all airports, train stations, malls, etc
8. Eventual implantable micro-chips for tracking all people, buying patterns and travel patterns.
This is a cage, a prison being erected around us and sold as security. It is a huge Lie!
Of course there will be those feeble minded zombies who have bought into the propaganda that "this is all good and you shouldn't have a problem as long as you have nothing to hide!"
This is blasphemy to our nation's founding principles and the honor of our founders who fought tyranny and control.
We are throwing it all away in a little over 200 years since our independence was fought for by far braver men then we have today.
All of this technology will be used for control and tyranny as it always has. It is sickening and it is totally unconscionable, yet it is being erected all around us. The American people are cheering it on and those that work in these industries are selling out their neighbors and country to this predatory police state.

Three men have told police they were sexually abused by former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky in the 1970s or 1980s, according to a report by PennLive.com.
Citing sources close to the Sandusky case, the website said the alleged victims are the first men to claim they were abused by the now-convicted pedophile prior to the 1990s.
One of the men who reported the abuse told police it happened in the early 1970s, when Sandusky would have been in his late 20s, PennLive reported.
On June 22, after deliberating more than 20 hours over two days, a jury in central Pennsylvania convicted Sandusky of sexually assaulting 10 boys during a 15-year period.
The 68-year-old retired defensive coach, who was once the heir apparent to Penn State football coaching legend Joe Paterno, was found guilty of 45 of 48 counts. Sandusky could face the rest of his life in prison when he is sentenced.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Depending on who you believe, either Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wants to play for a new team next season or he wants to spend his entire career with the Steelers.
Recently, rumors circulated that Roethlisberger is so unhappy with the Steelers that he is ready to leave for another team. But Roethlisberger said in an interview that those rumors are false, and he wants to remain in Pittsburgh.
But if Roethlisberger demands a trade, and he's available next season, would you want the Cleveland Browns to acquire him? Would the addition of Roethlisberger make the Browns a better team? Or would his history with the Steelers be too hard to overcome?

Gregory William Tucker, a Saylorsburg man, has turned himself in today on charges of allegedly beating his then-girlfriend at her Pen Argyl apartment.
Tucker, 20, allegedly got into an argument Sept. 29 with his girlfriend over dinner and started insulting her, calling her "ugly" and "worthless" in front of her 17-month-old son, police said.
Tucker then moved the child out to the living room, turned on the television for him, returned to the kitchen and started choking the woman, according to court documents.
Tucker allegedly head-butted her with his forehead, spit on her, then pulled her into the bathroom, threw her on the floor and kicked her, police said.
A warrant had been outstanding since Oct. 1, and Tucker turned himself in about 1:30 this afternoon, Pen Argyl Patrolman Steven Horvath said.
He was released on $7,500 unsecured bail. Tucker faces charges of simple assault and harassment, according to court documents.

Easy (edition 2012)
by Tammara Webber
Work details
Easy by Tammara Webber
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is so realistically written that it's easy to get lost in the story. The characters are equally enthralling, as well as inspiring. Honestly, I think I'm going to read it again...
Loved this book, have read it several times already. Found it because of a recommendation of what to read after Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire.
Good story! I would have liked to see Buck get his sorry ass kicked a few more times!
So sweet and touching, really nice love story. The Lucas/Landon moments had me swooning. I didn't expect to love this book so much because I thought it was going to be too sad, but it was so "easy" to fall into.
This was an amazing book that I found myself captivated by from the beginning. It began with the opening scene that made my stomach churn in shock. I was on the edge of my seat wondering how it would play out and intrigued and disgusted both by the event. There are some themes in this book most are eager to step around and avoid, which makes it hard to write about it. Webber did an amazing job with it, though. Her writing is fast paced, superb, and heart-warming. I fell in love with this book. I've only read it once, so I plan on rereading to get the full effect of the story. Only con I think is character development. I felt like I didn't know them as well as I'd liked to or I didn't care as much as I wanted to...Which is a shame because they were pretty great. I really enjoyed it though. I definitely think I should take a self defense class now, because there was so much I had not thought about that this book make me contemplate. My emotions were all over the place. High recommended. Plus, it is a tender and entrancing romance.
I'm seriously left behind in class! Just like Jacqueline, I missed class for two weeks! Not because of a heartbreak, though. Heehee. Anyway, I was admitted in a hospital because of Dengue Fever stage II and I just went to class a while ago. When I asked my professors for a remedial class, I was hoping to get a tutor as cool as Landon. Unfortunately, my professors have yet to read "Easy" since they told me to catch up the lessons by myself! Ugh! Talk about unfair. How come I don't get a one-on-one e-mail tutorial session??? How come there's no Landon Maxwell to save me from my two-week ignorance of Political Thought, Southeast Asian Studies, Ethics, Japanese Studies, Medieval Literature, and Majors! See what I mean? Landon Maxwell could be really helpful right now.
Really, guys. Easy by Tammara Webber is that good. I just have to remind you, though, that it contains mature subjects and themes.
I was surprised by how heavy the plot is. I don't actually support some of Jacqueline and Lucas' decisions, but I'll leave it up to you to decide. Meanwhile, I'll share three lessons I got from the book.
Here it goes!
1. Don't let your past take away your future. It doesn't define who you are today and who you'll be in the future. Live life like there's no second chance!
I got this from both Jacqueline and Lucas. Jacqueline throws away her dream of entering a prestigious music school to follow her boyfriend in a State University, only to find out that he'll break up with her just before their 3rd year anniversary. Jacqueline is devastated and she'll rather fail the class than to sit beside her ex for an hour-long Economics class! Thankfully, her bestfriend/roommate and Econ professor help her to get back to her feet. Her bestfriend starts to encourage her to come to class and her professor gives her a cool and intelligent personal tutor, Landon Maxwell.
The past of Lucas is rather heart-wrenching and tragic to the point that he almost stopped living by wasting himself. His father, a Ph.D. holder and a well-known scholar, shut down his senses and rationality because their horrid past is too much to bear. Thanks to Dr. Heller, Lucas is spared from a dead-life.
2. Do not fear. Step up. Let your voice be heard.
Two weeks after their breakup, Jacqueline is almost raped by a brotherhood rival of his ex. Good thing, Lucas is there to stop him. Knowing the shame that she'll get, Jacqueline decides to keep the incident a secret until it happens again. She escapes the second time around, but not her bestfriend's sorority friend. That's the only time they relayed the rape cases to the authority; however, they'll have to face the consequences of their prolonged silence.
3. Follow your dreams.
That includes your heart's desire. Jacqueline will eventually decide if she'll pursue a degree in music or education. And she'll also have to face her heart. Whom does she love the most? Her ex? Landon Maxwell? or Lucas?
I know you'l enjoy this book, too! Enjoy reading! God bless you more. :)

No descriptions found.
When Jacqueline follows her longtime boyfriend to the college of his choice, the last thing she expects is a breakup. After two weeks in shock, she wakes up to her new reality: she's single, attending a state university instead of a music conservatory, ignored by her former circle of friends, stalked by her ex's frat brother, and failing a class for the first time in her life. Her econ professor gives her an email address for Landon, the class tutor, who shows her that she's still the same intelligent girl she's always been. As Jacqueline becomes interested in more from her tutor than a better grade, his teasing responses make the feeling seem mutual. There's just one problem-- their only interactions are through email. Meanwhile, a guy in her econ class proves his worth the first night she meets him. Nothing like her popular ex or her brainy tutor, Lucas sits on the back row, sketching in a notebook and staring at her. At a downtown club, he disappears after several dances that leave her on fire. When he asks if he can sketch her, alone in her room, she agrees-- hoping for more. Then Jacqueline discovers a withheld connection between her supportive tutor and her seductive classmate, her ex comes back into the picture, and her stalker escalates his attention by spreading rumors that they've hooked up.… (more)

BOSTON - Fresh from eight straight games against division leaders, the Boston Red Sox now face what may be their biggest series yet.
"We like our chances," centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury said of the three-game series at Texas that opens Friday night.
"Obviously, we didn't swing the bats as well as we would have liked today, but we did win three of four against a quality opponent."
Boston's 2-0 loss to Detroit Thursday denied the Red Sox a sweep of the Tigers, who lead the American League Central.
The Red Sox trailed the Yankees by six games in the AL East, pending Thursday night's New York-Seattle game.
The hotter race is the wild card, where Boston's lead over Texas is a skimpy half-game.
"I think this series will be exciting," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said.
"We're looking forward to it. We didn't do a very good job down there last time."
The Rangers swept a three-game series from Boston at Arlington, Texas, from July 20-22.
PITCHING UPDATES: John Smoltz has turned down an offer to go to Pawtucket, according to ESPN.
The Red Sox offered Smoltz, 42, the chance to pitch in the minors and return to Boston as a reliever in September.
Several National League teams are reported to have interest in Smoltz, who has been designated for assignment.
By rejecting the minor league option, he leaves the Red Sox with the choice to trade or cut him.
Tim Wakefield will make his first rehab start for Pawtucket Saturday. He is on the disabled list with back and calf problems.
Daisuke Matsuzaka, out with shoulder problems, will throw a 50-pitch bullpen session Friday.
LARCENOUS: Victor Martinez' stolen base in the first inning was the second of his career.
With Josh Reddick on third base, Martinez broke on a 3-2 pitch to Jason Bay, who struck out. Watchful of Reddick, catcher Gerald Laird did not throw.
"They told me to go. I was lucky," Martinez said.
Martinez' other steal came with Cleveland on July 24, 2003, also against Detroit.
HONORS: Shown via satellite on the centerfield scoreboard, soldiers from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division serving in Basra Province, Iraq, were part of pregame ceremonies honoring military personnel.
Major Beth Behn of Amherst was among six division members who were highlighted.

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) On Sunday, Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse held a day with Santa, asking for donations for those in need.
Children gave Santa a few items from their Christmas lists, and families dropped off donations for CHOW.
Organizers said they expected around 200 people to come out for the event. They asked community members to drop off non-perishable food items for others who need them.
CHOW organizers said it's especially heartwarming to see children donate to others.
"There's so many young people that are in need, so it's a really nice process," said CHOW Director Michael Leahey. "Young people come in and they have a great time."
Last year, CHOW received nearly 1,000 lbs. of food.

Developer Bob Stark is furious about what he claims is Ernst & Young's decision to negotiate for space in a competing project on the east bank of the Flats.
Stark plans a $1.5 billion development in the nearby Warehouse District. He fired off an e-mail today to government and business leaders, asserting that Ernst & Young's move would be the first step in a march of major office users out of the central city.
Stark's message said he had been "officially informed" of Ernst & Young's activities, but it did not say by whom. Stark was on a plane late Wednesday and unavailable to comment.
Scott Wolstein, developer of the Flats project, also was not available, but a spokeswoman responded in an e-mail.
"We can't comment on the status of negotiations, but we have been involved in a lengthy and thoughtful process with E&Y," she said. "That process is ongoing, and we hope it works out for the best."
Ernst & Young has made no decision, said Don Misheff, the firm's managing partner for Northeast Ohio.
"I don't know where it came from," he said of Stark's e-mail.
Misheff would not elaborate on which developers remain in the running to build a new local headquarters for the company. The firm is among five to eight large office tenants whose downtown leases will end in the next few years. Stark and Wolstein are pitching their large-scale, mixed-use projects as new homes for office users, but other developers including John Ferchill, Forest City Enterprises and The Richard E. Jacobs Group also are in the mix.
The tenants include: Huntington National Bank, law firm Baker & Hostetler, law firm Squire Sanders & Dempsey and manufacturer Eaton Corp., which has been the source of much speculation in recent weeks. Some of these companies could announce plans within a few months.
Chris Warren, the city's chief of regional development, insists that nothing is final - and that Ernst & Young and Eaton have not made their decisions.
"Clearly, both of them are looking at the Flats East Bank," he said. ". . . With both those companies and a number of the other major corporate firms that are in play now, our goal is to keep them in Cleveland, particularly as close to our core city as possible. But there's been no announcement."
Stark told The Plain Dealer late last year that Eaton would not move to his project. Warren confirmed Wednesday that Eaton has been involved in discussions about building a corporate campus in the loop of the Regional Transit Authority's waterfront line within Wolstein's project.
"It's one of many proposals that they're looking at," Warren said.
Stark sent his e-mail to 41 people, including Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones, attorney Fred Nance, retired businessman Arnold Pinkney and American Greetings Corp. chairman Morry Weiss.
For the bulk of the message, Stark focused on his belief that a large-scale move of office tenants to the Flats project would damage downtown, luring away as much as 1 million square feet of offices and "tens of thousands" of people.
"This is urban sprawl of the worst kind," said Stark, who has developed many suburban projects, including Crocker Park in Westlake.
Nancy Lesic, a spokeswoman for Wolstein, dismissed that claim.
"With all due respect, it's just hard to imagine that anyone can call the Flats 'urban sprawl.' It's the birthplace of Cleveland," she wrote in an e-mail to The Plain Dealer. "While it's tempting to respond more fully to this particular e-mail, we're busy getting ready to break ground on one of the largest projects in the city's history. We think anyone who cares about Cleveland is thrilled it's coming together so well."
The city is not interested in taking sides between the two projects, Warren said, and officials support what both Stark and Wolstein are trying to do.
"We want to get in touch with Mr. Stark and try to understand his point of view," Warren said. "And we will do that."
