LaMarcus Aldridge recorded a double-double with 30 points and 12 rebounds, as the Portland Trail Blazers handled the Toronto Raptors, 92-74.
J.J. Hickson added 16 points and 11 boards for the Blazers, who have won eight straight against Toronto. Nolan Smith and Sasha Pavlovic had 11 and 10 points, respectively.
Portland won Monday's game without the services of forward Nicolas Batum (back) and guard Wesley Matthews (hip flexor).
"I thought Sasha Pavlovic played a terrific game -- defensively more than anything else, but he played heavy minutes and I thought he did a terrific job defensively and offensively. Obviously, LaMarcus did everything we needed from him," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. "I thought it was a really good team win. We got a lot of good effort from a lot of people."
DeMar DeRozan ended with 20 points for the Raptors, who went winless on a five-game road trip to fall to 1-14 away from home this season. Ed Davis and Jose Calderon donated 14 and 12 points, respectively.
Toronto center Andrea Bargnani hurt his right elbow in the first quarter. X- rays came back negative. The Raptors also lost guard Kyle Lowry to a right triceps injury.
"He (Bargnani) landed on his elbow and lost feeling in his hand," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "We'll have to wait and see tomorrow how it is."
The Raptors held a 19-18 lead following a tight first quarter that featured seven lead changes and three ties.
With the score tied at 38 with 3:23 left in the second stanza, Portland closed out the half on a 6-2 spurt. Luke Babbitt's 22-foot jumper at the buzzer gave the Blazers a 44-40 edge at the break.
Holding a 49-46 lead with 9:24 remaining in the third frame, Portland put together a 13-2 run to create some distance. Aldridge and Hickson each tallied five points during the surge to make it a 62-48 game.
Toronto stayed in the game by scoring the final nine points of the quarter, which cut the gap to 64-59.
Ahead by seven, 75-68, with 6:30 to play, the Blazers went on an 8-0 spurt to pull away. Babbitt's slam, Pavlovic's layup, Damian Lillard's two free throws and Hickson's alley-oop dunk made it an 83-68 contest.
Game Notes
Toronto's Amir Johnson was ejected in the third quarter for arguing with an official ... The Raptors went 3-for-21 from beyond the arc, while the Blazers failed to make a 3-pointer on 20 attempts ... Matthews missed a game for the first time in his four-year NBA career. He had played in 250 straight games.

I wrote this poem..or whatever it might be... and posted it on a collabrative art website i am part of.
this is for my boy Oliver.
I miss your sad puppy dog eyes
I miss the freckles on your nose.
I miss the warm wet tong that would lick my hand silly
I miss the sound of your collar when you shook your head
i miss the sight of you sleeping on the coffee table in the middle of the afternoon.
I miss our long evening walks together
i miss the sight of niko dragging his owner down the street..barrelling at us full speed to say hello
I miss the sound of you scratching the sliding glass door to come in
i miss your breath fogging up that door
i miss your foot prints on the beach, or in the snow
i miss your excitement..of rolling in the snow..thoroughly enjoying every second of it
I miss your stubbornness when you didn't want to go for a walk, or be seen in your rain gear.
i miss the sound of your cry when you thought you were alone
i miss you begging for a treat every time we left grandma and grandpas house
i miss you squashed in next to me on the trips to vancouver
I miss your comforting presence when i was uncomfortable or nervous
I miss you sleeping at the end of my bed
I miss our trips up island together..because with you by my side..i was never alone
i miss our late night drives through town..when there was nothing else to do but listen to music and drive the empty streets.
I miss our walks on the piers..
I miss our matching hoodies
i miss you sniffing every inch of every strange place you were in
I miss people coming up to us and saying what a cute dog you were
I miss the smell of your hair when you got groomed
I miss your body wiggle when you itched
I miss the sound of your foot hitting the bowl at dinner time.
i miss you scarfing it down
i miss talking to you..even though you probably didn't understand me..or at least you pretended not to understand me
I miss you laying grumpily next to me when i take a bath
I miss your sighs..impatient..annoyed
I miss playing ball with you
I miss your endless bounds of energy and excitement when we caved and did play ball
i miss your impatient whines when we did not throw the ball fast enough
i miss the thump thump of your running
i miss nuzzling your nose with mine
I miss the feeling of your soft fur
I miss tackling you to trim your paws.
i miss the hair all over the bathroom, the couch and my clothes
I miss coming home to you every night
i miss the way you would paw my leg to get my attention
I miss the way you would snuggle up to me on the couch.
But mostly I miss you.
You died of a broken heart. and now i am left with a broken heart


text: Well here we are in 2013 and I have so many caches left to find. So as I was thinking about my first year caching I chose to share my adventure with you. This all started in Sept of 2011 when I created an account. In Dec 2011 I went Premium and went seeking my first cache leading to a complete and utter dnf although I had no idea what one was and was chicken to log it as such. Regrouping we looked an easier larger regular kind of cache because that micro was so good to me. On Dec 31th 2011 we found 2 caches and the adventure was on. Over the next few weeks we found a few caches and then we (me, wife, festess) went on a little state park grab fest (Lake Poinisett, Parkin, Village Creek, Lower White River). HUM [] it was a very eye opening trip, found the caches but we failed to get the clue at village creek. When we got home we found a couple more and ended with 10 for the day. That was Jan 19 and on the 22 I started my first streak of 5 days. Then we made it 14 days in a row. In Early Feb we grabbed another 3 state parks (Magazine, Nebo, Dardenelle) but I forgot to write down the clue at Magazine. . Then toward the end of Feb we made a two day state park tour de Arkansas, day one was to be Jenkins Ferry, Marks Mills, Moro Bay, South Arkansas Arboretum, Mesuem of Natural Resources, Logoly, Conway Cem. but it did not quite come out that way. Spent to much time grabbing caches on the way and finding ourselves not getting all of them. We made the 1st 4 that day and got to the Arboretum at 445, it closes at 5. We made the grab and got out just in time. Spent the night in Texarkana and got up the next day to finish our mission, Conway Cem, Millwood, Cossatot, Queen Wilhemna. Lets say this is where the fun began. I twisted my ankle on a cache in Texarkana and was limping the rest of the day but we got Conway Cem, Millwood and Daisy and went home. I then went streaking for 71 days which led to my next great State Park Road Trip. Bull Shoals, Mammoth Springs, Lake Charles, Powhattan, Davidsonville, Lake Frierson, Crowellys Ridge, Herman Davis, Hampson all in one day. Got up and out at 5am home by 11pm and got 8 out of 9. Then came the April Adventure Logoly, Historic Washington, Posion Springs, White Oak Lake. Made for another long fun day. I missed a cache on May 6 and I was very tired and just could not get it going again. But during the few months we did go camping and found a few more Parks, Petit Jean, Woolly Hollow, Jacksonport, Crater of Diamonds, Pinnacile MT, Toltec, Plantation, Cane Creek, Louisiana Purchase and Mt Magazine. Yes Mt Magazine....remember the missed clue, umm I took a picture of it out of focus and all but did not write it down. But I had a lot of fun. Then came the cache bash and re energized me. Grabbed 38 caches that weekend and got to talking with Mark Willis which leads us to the next great adventure Labor Day Cache Attack of the Arkansas Great River Road. A 101 cache day taking us from Little Rock south on Hwy 65 to the Louisiana State Line and back, Out at 5 back at 11pm. Picked up Lake Chicot then and added Arkansas post during the Summer. Now on to Oct Adventure a two day journey out west to get Lake Fort Smith, Devils Den, Prairie Grove Battlefield, Hobbs and Withrow Springs. We left around 8AM and stopped in Clarksville for a GolfNutz Cache, you all need to get you some of them they goooood. During that grab the nice lady said a strom was on the way, excuse me but where is the sun they said we was going to have. So just outside Clarksville it started hailling and we pulled over. After 20 minutes we got under way again and made it to Alma and grabbed a couple as we started up Hwy 71. Lake Fort Smith was missing again, so we headed for the Grove and got there around 4pm made short work of it and headed up the road to the home of the Hawgs and ate at the Catfish Hole. Good eats baby. Grabbed a room and got up the next day and got sleeted on but we did get all the parks in this trip and had lots of fun. Later in Oct the wife and I with our daughter made a Branson run up Hwy 65 and found some great caches on that road. Stopped in Harrison for a fall leef check and then took in a couple of shows in Branson. Then ended the month camping at Lake Catherine. Nov adventure we took in Hot springs and Lake O, and somewhere during the year we went to Degray. This brings us to Dec and the end of year one of caching so You guessed it a New Years Cache Dash, Mes of Natural Resource, Cossatot, Queen Wilhema. Fun yes except on the seat. Now you all remember that snow at christmas it only a week latter and I am going to the higest peek in ARkansas. UMMM WHAT WAS I THINKING. . Visited some places I other wise would not have. Did get two of the three and made it to the top[ of the Mountian to find the park shut down as well as the cache. SO we visited Mt Magazine on the way home and GOT THE CLUE! SO to sum up the year, it was blast. Visited all but 3 state parks, visited 2/3 of the counties in Arkansas and got almost all the DeLorme Pages done. Found a 100 caches in one day. Logged a 1068 caches, traveled according to my trackable dog tag 10,750 miles. Logged 61 Trackables, Hid 50 caches. And currently have been streaking for 148 days in a row. It is so much fun, its better than _____. What will the next year bring? Tell us your caching story.

Please do not attempt to do this, it can be very dangerous!
Some folks have argued about the existance of a PTC in 123 batteries. I'd like to assure folks that at least Duracell, Energizer, and Surefire all use PTC devices in their Primary Lithium Batteries.
I also took the PTC and measured it's resistance with temperature, and once it hit a certain temperature, it's resistance rapidly increases, to remove the load to a cell, in order to protect the user from a battery explosion.

Several weeks ago, I posted on this website a very unflattering review about Lynn Electric. That post was made because of a bad experience I had with a surveillance system they had installed for me. Today I want to retract those statements and say that when the owner of the company read my post, he immediately called me and took care of all the problems. It turns out that my problems were caused by one bad employee and that employee is no longer there. George, the owner was not aware of what had been going on and he was very apologetic. He did everything I had been promised and more. I would highly recommend Lynn Electric to anyone. George will take care of you.

Blogs > Lions Lowdown
One thing you can count on with the Detroit Lions is that they are never, ever boring. Follow the latest news including injuries, roster moves and more here daily from Oakland Press beat writer Paula Pasche. Plus you'll find regular commentary about the team.
Chris Greenwood's fate was mostly sealed when he was forced to miss all of training camp.
The Detroit Lions have decided to keep the rookie cornerback on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. The move was not a surprise.
Greenwood, a fifth-round draft pick out of Albion, suffered an abdominal injury during organized team activities in May and underwent subsequent surgery.
He missed all of training camp and was placed on the PUP list before the season. The three-week window that allowed the Lions to activate him or shut him down for the season, expires this week.
Coach Jim Schwartz said on Monday, before the decision was announced, that a crucial element involved in the matter was that Greenwood had not been able to participate in training camp at all. Coming from a small school, Greenwood needs to catch up to the speed of the NFL.
This doesn't mean the Lions have given up on him. He'll be physically ready to go when workouts start in the spring.
Greenwood, however, has played at Ford Field. It was in the Detroit city championship when he played for Detroit King. He grew up a Lions fan.
When he was drafted at 148th overall, it was as surprised pick. He didn't make all the pre-draft publications, most likely because he played at Division III Albion.
Greenwood, who is 6-foot-1 and 193 pounds, ran a 4.42 40-yard dash at Michigan's pro day.
Because he was on the PUP list, Greenwood never counted against the 53-man roster.

Feb. 27, 2009
After sending two athletes to the NCAA Championships last season, the Gaucho men are poised to add to the list and to begin making a new impression on the Big West Conference. The team should be ready to send more athletes to Regionals than they did last year, and it appears that the process is well underway towards forming a group that can score a ton of points at Conference.
This year's distance squad will be led by Scott Smith, a national-caliber runner in the 1500m who can also run the longer distances.
Smith redshirted the 2008 season and will return hungry for a trip to the NCAA Championships. He ran an unattached 3:44 last summer, and should advance to Nationals if he runs in that range at Regionals. UCSB's school record in the 1500m is 3:43.80, so Smith has a legitimate shot at breaking that as well.
Focusing on the longer distances will be Julian deRubira and Waleed Totari. deRubira has the talent to make Regionals in two events - the steeplechase and the 5000 meters. Last season he ran both events at Conference, taking fourth in the steeple and sixth in the 5k. He improved his steeplechase time to 9:13.41 and will be looking to lower that down to the Regional qualifying standard of 9:07.
Totari's efforts will likely fall on the 10,000 meters, where he should be a top contender in the Big West Conference. In 2006 he was a Conference scorer in the 10k, coming across in 31:20.52 to take sixth place. He's in good shape going into this season and will be a threat to score in both the 5k and 10k.
"Julian and Waleed have been looking really solid in workouts," said Assistant Coach Avery Blackwell. "We've been doing massive tempo runs and they're both looking smooth."
The men will have three returners in the 800 meters this season. The group includes Salim Benmohamed, who took third in the Conference Championships last season at 1:52.65. Joining him will be Jeff Campbell, who returns after a redshirt season, and Ryan Martin, who competed last year but was granted a medical redshirt after picking up an injury midseason. Campbell sits 10th all-time at UCSB with a personal best of 1:51.60, and Martin was posting times in the low 1:52 range before his injury. He also ran a few 400 meter races and was clocking in the high 48s.
A strong corps of freshman runners are also waiting in the wings. Though it's difficult to predict how freshmen will perform in their first season, the coaches are optimistic that they will see a few athletes start strongly.
"We have a lot of new guys, and I think some are going to rise up," said Blackwell. "It's hard to know what will happen, but I'll predict that something noteworthy is gonna happen."
In the throws, Scott Anderson is the school record-holder in the shot put, having thrown 58-2. He is a threat to win the Conference Title this season, and should be a strong competitor at Regionals. He also has a chance at advancing to Regionals in the discus.
Joining Anderson in the shot ring will be Hector Serrano, who took fourth at Conference last season. He has been training hard over the offseason and is ready to take the next step towards Regionals.
Other throwers include Michael Guerra in the javelin, who barely missed the 200 foot mark last season. Alex Umstead has improved steadily since his arrival and will be looking to make the jump to Regionals in the shot put.
The Gauchos have improved tremendously in the pole vault over the offseason, spearheaded by the acquisition of Scott Finley. Finley attended the University of Washington and jumped 16-10.75 his freshman season.
"He's an immediate boost to our program," remarked vault coach Keith Baker. "He's a guy who's been there; he's jumped high already and he knows what it takes to clear 17 feet."
Other pole vaulters to watch include Mike O'Sullivan, who jumped close to 15 feet last year and has been hitting 16 feet going into this season.
Another area where the team is making strides is in the decathlon, spearheaded by some outstanding talent in the high jump and pole vault. Jacob Maus and David Hoff are the group's best high jumpers, with Hoff's personal best around 6-9 and Maus's at 7-0. The group also includes Derek Masterson, a pole vaulter who has cleared 16-2 and possesses tremendous strength.
"We've got a big training group of seven guys, and the success of a decathlon training group correlates very strongly with the size of the group," noted Baker. "We're starting to become cohesive. We've got a bunch of guys with different strengths helping each other out."
The men's sprinters will be lead by a duo of seniors. Jason Newland has been a 100m - 200m runner for the past three seasons and will continue to run those events, but he will also look to improve in the 400m this season.
"He's got great speed, and if he can translate that into some fitness I think he could reach a high top end in the 400 meters," said sprints coach Josh Priester.
Joining Newland will be Max Bellissimo, who redshirted last season. Bellissimo is 10th on the UCSB all-time list in the 400m at 48.07, and will strive to keep hitting those times and to rack up some points at Conference.
The men's hurdles have a few returnees, including Alvin Go in the 400m hurdles and Drew Johnston in the 110 highs. Go should run a good 400m hurdles this year, and he could be joined by freshman Sean Schuster, who has been looking fit and strong in training.
Johnston has made good progress in the 110 highs over the offseason and should have a better season this year. He'll be joined by freshman Mike Powers, one of the top high school hurdlers in the state last season. Powers will also compete in the decathlon.
The Gauchos compete this Saturday, Feb. 28, at the All-Cal Challenge at UC Irvine. The All-Cal Cup will be awarded to the winning team of the meet between UCSB, UC Irvine, UC San Diego and UC Riverside.

With school.
With playdates.
Because the planting season is well, very much upon us.
And a fun date night to celebrate a friend's book release.
"Don't Mess With Travis."
after getting the kids to bed.
Which has meant a quiet blog.
But today, ah today.
It is Mother's Day!
My most absolute favorite tradition, breakfast in bed, snuggled with my kiddos.
For all you do and have done and will continue to do.
In church this morning I was thinking a lot about my past mother's days.
Thinking about how it was ten years ago that I celebrated my first.
Oh what a joy to be counted amongst those moms who get to stand and be applauded.
I thought about the ladies who walk away from church today filled with grief over
the lack of that title they yearn for so deeply.
I thought of the moms who are in a difficult place with their role.
And I thought about how grateful I am with where I am right now.
I'm at peace.
Maybe not every minute of every day, but overall I'm at peace.
And I have challenges for sure, but I am happy, and I feel content.
I have spent Mother's Days in the past desperate for an afternoon of sleep.
Desperate for a break from the dear children who made me a mom.
Ever so grateful, but just in the trenches.
Today I remembered sitting in church five years ago, a relatively new mom to three.
My life very topsy turvy. Nothing was predictable or reliable.
I wasn't sure ever when I laid down at night how long I'd be asleep.
And I was worn down by an attack from the enemy that was strong and swift.
I almost couldn't catch my breath. I sat in church that day and silent tears streamed down my cheeks.
The memory of that Mother's day rushed in while sitting at church this morning.
And perhaps it will every Mother's Day.
Those tears were over the realization of just how brave and strong mothers are in so many ways.
Every Single Day.
We're warriors for our children, for our families.
We walk through fires and storms, and dig in doing the hard work, all while holding our heads high.
And we put their needs first.
But we don't do it in our own power. Not at all.
It is Jesus, in us, through us, beside us that makes it all possible.
On that day when I was feeling so broken, I felt Him rise up within
me and grow stronger. In the years since, His presence and my awareness of Him
has grown stronger still.
That is why I think I'll always remember that Mother's Day where I sat in tears.
It's a stone of remembrance to His power in my life.
For as hard as that season was, I'm filled with gratitude for the ways the Lord has revealed himself to me since that time and how much He has grown me and changed me as a mom and a follower of Him.
Most of all I so love knowing that this closeness will grow stronger still and He will continue showing up day after day giving each of us the strength and power we need as we walk this most noble path of being a mom, raising our children to know, love, and serve Him as their Savior, prayerfully all the days of their lives.
Happy Mothers Day you
brave and noble Mommies!

The Chinabee trail comes up to Turnipseed from the west, crosses Skyline drive at the parking lot, goes through the woods for ~100 yards, goes thru Turnipseed, then on to the Pinhoti on the top of the mountain.
From the Turnipseed parking lot, go west, across Skyline, find Chinabee, it will be obvious, hike west on Chinabee for a while. The spot aboyd suggested is at the creek for Cheaha falls. Across the creek and up the steep hill is the shelter.
Expect to get your feet wet if you want to cross the creek and go up to the shelter.
Tight-wad got it. I will try to post some GPS coordinates, but no promise that I can still find them. The parking lot is easy to find, and if you follow the signs to the shelter, the camping spot is easy also. There is actually a gravel road across from the Turnipseed parking lot, there on Skyline Dr. That road leads back and the trail to the shelter actually crosses the road, signs there also. If you wanted to bypass a short section of trail on the walk in. Will try to get some maps and GPS coordinates up soon.

Cool, thanks aboyd, a map or coordinates would be great. But the directions are pretty helpful.
"If there is a problem duct tape"
OK, the Cheaha Falls Shelter coordinates are 33.453071, -85.849485. As for a map, see attached. It shows Turnipseed and the Cheaha Falls Shelter. The camping spot I was referring to is marked by the blue star...approximate location. The parking on State Route 281 is right about where the "S" on State-Rte 281 is on the map. The trail is directly across the road from the parking lot. Hope this helps.
The trail you see marked on the map is the Chinnabee that goes east towards the Pinhoti, through Turnipseed. We will be going west, or more northwest I guess you could say.

- 1 Availability of Samba AD DC features to Fedora
Availability of Samba AD DC features to Fedora
Fedora users show big interest in Samba AD DC functionality being available on Fedora. This page serves as a current tracker of our progress in bringing Samba AD DC features to Fedora.
State of progress since Fedora 18 (as of May 2013) is available as a talk at SambaXP conference: http://sambaxp.org/fileadmin/user_upload/SambaXP2013-DATA/thu/track2/Alexander_Bokovoy_Simo_Sorce-Samba-4-Fedora.pdf
Additionally, you can see progress of Samba development, which includes integration of Samba AD DC and MIT Kerberos, at https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_Next_Goals
Executive summary
2013-11-22: Samba in Fedora 18+ cannot yet be used for AD DC configuration
Progress since Fedora 18
- Unified Samba package set is provided. Each package is prefixed with samba-. There are no separate samba-package and samba4-package package sets anymore.
- Samba 4.x is built with MIT Kerberos for Samba server modes outlined below.
- Work has started Samba upstream on bringing newer embedded Heimdal build to Samba so that there is less difference between MIT Kerberos and Heimdal APIs. Once this done, we'll be able to gradually extend parts of Samba AD DC to turn on.
- Work is being done on allowing use of MIT Kerberos KDC instead of embedded Heimdal KDC within Samba AD DC. This will be done with the help of CWrap project which provides preloading libraries to divert certain networking and identity-related functions to separate processes. Original versions of these libraries are used within Samba to perform functional tests of whole Samba suite.
- Work has started to extend Samba AD DC to allow forest trust setup with another forests.
Please note that most work is done directly Samba upstream. You can check Samba planning outline at https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_Next_Goals
Supported setups in current Fedora releases starting with Fedora 18
We don't support deprecated options from Samba earlier than 4.0 if there are replacements for them. Please migrate to new options. Feel free to ask about correct config files in general samba mailing lists because these are not specific to Fedora.
Winbind and related tools (security=ads (Active Directory) and security=domain (NT4-style Domain Controller))
We support all winbind setups especially having a Linux client joined to an Active Directory domain. (We don't plan to have client GPO support yet). This includes all tools needed to get information out of a Domain like wbinfo, joining and managing accounts with the 'net' command and pam_winbind for logging in.
We also support Samba as a NT4 domain member for existing installations (security = domain)
Client libraries
The following libraries are supported: libsmbclient, libsmbsharemodes, libnetapi and libwbclient. They are needed by Desktop Environments or Display Managers for logging in.
Also for user login: libnss_winbind.so, libnss_wins.so and pam_winbind.so.
Server modes
Please also note that Samba AD DC configurations, whether it hosted on other platforms or your own compiled version, do not currently support forest level trusts to another Active Directory-compatible setup. Thus, they cannot be used to establish trust with FreeIPA deployments yet.
We fully support Samba as a print server with cups and lprng backend.
LDAP integration
Configuring Samba PDC with
ldapsam PASSDB module is supported. However, use of
smbldap-tools is unsupported. As we don't package them, if you can prove that it is a samba issue (providing logs, backtraces, reproducer) we are fine fixing Samba-specific issues.
Samba DCE libraries
Every Samba library used by Fedora packages is supported. External usage is not supported if it is not explicitly stated below. We support libraries used by openchange evolution-mapi, FreeIPA and SSSD. Additionally we support all public libraries of the samba-libs package.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsEvents
2011 NMRA & NMCA Commerce Event - Carnage In Commerce
The NMRA and NMCA invade the Peach State for the 3rd Annual Nitto Tires All-Star Nationals
When the NMRA and NMCA team up for a dual event, the show is always exciting. An amazing mix of Ford and Brand-X race cars combine to equal blistering-fast on-track action, a packed manufacturer's midway, and an amazing array of flawless show cars, which made the 3rd Annual Nitto Tires NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals the Southeast's Mustang and muscle car event of the year.
But frankly, just saying excitement doesn't begin to describe the energy level and the quality of the show put on at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Georgia, on the third weekend of April. Multiple wrecks, insane side-by-side racing action, and a huge fireball were just a few of the sights the fans got to see, and we were there to catch it all.
Qualifying was rough on more than a few teams. Turbosmart Pro Outlaw 10.5 racer Mike Murillo got crossed up passing through the lights, and lightly caressed the wall. Afco Xtreme Drag Radial favorite, Jason Lee also had a run-in with the barrier due to a flat tire. "We broke a control arm mount," explains Lee. "When the mount broke, the rearend shifted about 6 inches under the car. By about half-track, one of the tires went flat and I went for a ride." Luckily for both drivers, and teams, the damage was minimal, and both made the call for the first round.
ProCharger SuperStreet Outlaw hosted the quickest and fastest field in the history of the class. Coming off his record-setting weekend at the Spring Break Shootout, Chris Tuten blasted down the quarter-mile in a lightning-quick 7.08 seconds at 202 mph, but was not able to back it up to take the record. John Kalivas, Samuel Vincent, and Andrew Demarco, who all qualified quicker than 7.20, followed Tuten closely.
When it came time for eliminations, oil downs and lengthy clean-ups extended the race schedule well past its normal run time. Many of the final rounds did not run until after 9 p.m., which made for some tricky track conditions as the temperature dropped. Needless to say, the racing was extremely exciting, right down to the last pass.
When the NMRA and NMCA come together, True Street is contested on Sunday's schedule instead of its normal Saturday spot. Fifty-nine cars took to the streets of northern Georgia, and the Mustangs ruled the road taking 42 of the 59 spots in competition. A Blue Oval did not hold the top spot, unfortunately, but Ford drivers did capture every other winning position with the exception of the 11-second spot.
Atlanta Dragway was alive with an amazing array of muscle Mustangs, fast Fords, and muscle car iron from all over Detroit. From the track to the car show, to True Street, to the midway, the 3rd Annual Nitto Tires NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals was truly a sight to behold. This kind of excitement leaves you wanting more, and we can't wait to head to the next event in Atco, New Jersey!

Scam artists posing as DTE Energy utility employees continue to target small-business owners in Oakland County and the tri-county area, swindling restaurants out of thousands of dollars.
The ruse typically involves a man calling a restaurant and threatening that the power will be shut off within an hour for an unpaid bill. The business is told to buy a Green Dot money card and puts the bogus �overdue� amount of money on the card, then call back and give the con man the serial number from the back of the card.
Since last August the scam has been used at food and restaurant businesses in Warren, Sterling Heights, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Madison Heights and scores of other cities statewide.
The most recent known attempt in south Oakland County happened Wednesday at Dino�s Lounge in Ferndale, but the owner didn�t fall for the scam. He called DTE to check his account and found he had no overdue bill.
�This scam has spread throughout Southeast Michigan,� DTE spokesman Scott Simons said. The culprits �are hard to trace. We know they are not local. We tracked one group doing these scams to the Dominican Republic but no arrests have been made.�
The scammers are successful in about a third of the attempts they make, he added, and like to go after restaurants, particularly those serving ethnic food.
The scams started in this region about a year ago. In a period between last September and January of this year, about 100 small-business owners lost a total of about $40,000, Simons said.
There have been hundreds of scam attempts made on business owners since last year in the roughly 13 counties that DTE covers.
At the end of January in Royal Oak, Penn�s Thai Kitchen on 14 Mile Road was targeted by a DTE imposter who failed in his attempt to bilk the business, police said.
�Any business owner receiving a call of this nature should report it to the police department immediately,� said Royal Oak Police Lt. Dave Clemens.
Bogus shut-off pressure tactics worked earlier this month in Madison Heights. The owner of Augie�s Bar and Grill on John R ended up losing $900 and the owner of the King of Kabob business on John R was swindled out of $495, police said.
In Warren last November, Boff�s Market on 10 Mile Road near Hoover lost more than $3,000. The owner of a Citgo gas station on Eight Mile Road in Warren lost $1,200 and the Spicy Thailand restaurant on Van Dyke was hit for $300.
A Dunkin Donuts shop in Ferndale lost $500 in what is known generically as the �Green Dot� money card scam, and several other businesses there have been targeted since last year, said Jennifer Roosenberg, executive director of the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce.
Roosenberg on Wednesday sent out an email blast warning chamber members after Dino�s Lounge avoided being defrauded.
�I think the reason they are calling restaurants in these scams is that they can call them during busy times when the owner, who has a better idea of bill payments, is not answering the phone,� she said. �A manager or employee might be more likely to panic and want to avoid� a threatened power shut off.
Law enforcement officers and agents say the Green Dot money card scam is also used by con men pretending to represent the Internal Revenue Service. They contact individual taxpayers and threaten them with arrest if they fail to get a money card to pay off a bogus overdue tax bill.
The scams have been used nationwide from New York to Los Angeles, police said.
Police warn in general that you should never provide Green Dot money card, debit card, credit numbers, personal or financial information to anyone you do not know.
�We never ever ask our customers to make payments using a Green Dot card,� said Simons of DTE. �A customer faced with a shut-off will receive a shut-off notice with their bill before any shut-off is scheduled.�
Any DTE customers who are approached in any way about an overdue bill payment should first call the utility company�s 800-477-4747 number to verify their account standing before paying any money.
And even business owners who are smart enough to avoid being swindled should still report the incident to police.
�When you report suspicious activity like this to police, you may help provide one bit of information that may help us on another similar investigation,� said Ferndale Police Sgt. Patrick Jones.

New GlassGallery images website availableHaving seen many queries posted accompanied by photos which later lose their pics as they are deleted by hosts such as Tinypics, I thought it'd be useful to have a place where glass photos can be uploaded and which will not be auto-deleted. So, I've created GlassGallery which uses the same gallery script as my own glass collection gallery, but it looks similar in style to this GMB.To use the gallery you do need to register but this is simple and just involves choosing a user name and password and then acting on the confirmation e-mail. Once registered you can upload photos to the Queries Gallery. I've also created a series of How To's for anyone wanting to use the gallery to host images for queries... these walk you through the process of uploading and adding title and additional information. Tony H has kindly been testing these for me and they seem to work fine but if anyone gets stuck I'm usually around to give help.Frank has kindly unlocked this topic so I can add this post and he will then incorporate the GlassGallery info into the Pictures sticky in due course.The idea behind the GlassGallery is to provide a place where photos referred to in messages here on the board will still be available to accompany those messages. I'm not sure how the GlassGallery will work in terms of bandwidth usage on the server if it gets very busy, but I'm happy to give it a try and assess how it goes.http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/

WAG's Norman Rockwell Exhibition Held Over for Extra Week
Winnipeg, May 11, 2012: The Winnipeg Art Gallery has announced that due to the enormous success of American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell, the exhibition will be extended by one week until Sunday, May 27. It was originally scheduled to close on May 20. The Gallery is also open until 9pm on Thursday and Friday nights for the duration of the show, and will have extended hours (10am to 10pm) for the final four days of the run (May 24-27).
"This exhibition has obviously resonated with the people of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and many other communities," says WAG Executive Director Stephen Borys. "Clearly having the original works of art from the finest Rockwell collection in the world has made a big difference to our audiences, as do the many issues, events, ideas, and emotions so well documented by the artist. By the time the show closes on May 27, we expect close to 30,000 people will have seen the exhibition, including thousands of school children from across the city and province."
School tours for the exhibition were so popular the WAG opened the Gallery for schools only on Mondays, a day when the WAG is normally closed to the public. A wide range of programming, including talks by the artist's son Peter Rockwell, guided tours, art workshops, a Family Sunday pancake breakfast, and more gave visitors the opportunity to explore Rockwell's works from many angles.
Borys adds that, "We are really pleased that Rockwell visitors also took in the WAG's permanent collection galleries and other exhibitions; apparently they liked what they saw as new memberships increased by over 300% during the Rockwell exhibition. As the WAG approaches its 100th anniversary this fall, the impressive growth at the grassroots level is exciting."
Visiting the exhibition is an "art-encompassing" experience. The entrance to the show features a 12-minute video on the life and work of Norman Rockwell. Audio-tours give visitors the opportunity to learn more about selected images. In the Rockwell Response Zone people can take Rockwell-style photographs of themselves with props and costumes under the Saturday Evening Post banner. Using the art supplies children can create their own Post covers and hang them on the walls. Tying in with Rockwell's Freedom from…. series, visitors are displaying post-it notes describing what freedom from want, freedom from fear, and free speech mean to them personally.
American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell is organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum and made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts, American Masterpieces Program. Sponsorship is also provided by the Curtis Publishing Company, the Norman Rockwell Estate Licensing Company, and the Stockman Family Foundation. Presenting Sponsor: Border Glass & Aluminum Local Sponsors: Lindsey Steek & Company, Ricoh, Manitoba Blue Cross, Sigurdson McFadden Benefits & Pensions and Manitoba Lotteries. Local Media Sponsors: Winnipeg Free Press, Pattison Outdoor Advertising, CJOB 68, CTV and Prairie Public Broadcasting.
Celebrating its centenary from September 2012 to August 2013, the Winnipeg Art Gallery is Canada's oldest civic art gallery and Manitoba's leading visual arts institution. With a collection of over 25,000 objects spanning ten centuries—including the world's largest collection of contemporary Inuit art—the WAG moves between the historical and the contemporary, engaging a growing public with the power of art in our lives.

However, there have been two occasions where there has been an area about 20-30 feet in diamater that the master goes all screwball and the link goes in and out. I was shooting a wedding last night and my assistant also had three flashes and hers did the same thing in the same "dead zone" We were both on different channels so we were not interfering with each other.

Car Brakes: How Do You Know When to Change Them?
By Zach Bowman For those who suffer a daily commute through heavy traffic, your vehicle's braking system can bring thousands of pounds of metal, plastic and empty Starbucks cups to a stop hundreds of times before you get to work. It goes without saying that these pieces wear out, but they do so slowly, meaning you may not notice they need attention until ...

TALLAHASSEE — FSU star dual-sport athlete Jameis Winston was tripped up by off-the-field issues again Wednesday.
Winston was suspended from the FSU baseball team after the Heisman Trophy winner was cited Tuesday night for shoplifting crab legs from a Publix grocery store
Leon County Sheriff's Office representatives said during a press conference they were dispatched to a Publix grocery store after a person left without paying for $32.72 worth of crab legs. The food may have also included crawfish.
The person was identified as Winston. A deputy went to Winston's residence and reported Winston was cooperative, confirming he left Publix without paying for the food.
Winston told he the sheriff's that he "forgotten" to pay, according Leon County Sheriff's Office Major Mike Wood.
"When he got home, he realized that he had not paid, but in fact had made no effort to contact Publix or return to pay," Wood said.
Winston released a statement Wednesday acknowledging he made a mistake.
"I realize that I am in the public spotlight and my conduct needs to be above reproach," Winston said in the statement. "Over the last year, I've learned that my accomplishments on the fields can be a wonderful thing for my school, teammates, friends and family. At the same time, I must realize that my mistakes are magnified and can bring great embarrassment to all those who support me every day. I make no excuses for my actions and will learn and grow from this unfortunate situation."
A Publix staff member and Winston agreed to a citation rather an arrest. Wood stressed that Winston was not arrested and instead cited, calling it a "pre-arrest diversion."
Winston will have to serve 20 hours of community service. Winston might face additional sanctions, such as paying restitution. Wood said that Winston must set up his community service within seven days or the case could be reverted back to the state attorney's office, where the incident could become a criminal case.
Winston could opt out of the civil citation program but would then likely be charged with petit theft.
"There is no indication that that is the case," Wood said. "He has indicated that he has every intention of fulfilling his obligation, his community service hours, and most likely, his restitution."
FSU baseball coach Mike Martin said Sunday Winston was taking on a bigger role with the baseball team following the end of spring football. Three days later, Martin scratched Winston from the lineup.
"As a result of his citation last night, we are suspending Jameis Winston from the baseball team," Martin said in a statement released by FSU Wednesday. "I am confident he will complete his community service obligation and the situation will be resolved soon."
FSU's code of conduct doesn't require suspension following a citation, leaving the decision up to the head coach.
"I fully support Coach Martin's decision and will also make sure that Jameis meets all obligations, which I know he will," FSU football coach Jimbo Fisher said in a school statement.
Winston's latest legal trouble was first reported by Tomahawknation.com, which initially stated Winston had been arrested. Wood stressed that Winston was not detained.
Last year, Winston was the subject of a high-profile rape investigation. A former FSU student accused Winston of sexually assaulting her, while Winston and his attorney asserted their interaction was consensual. After admonishing Tallahassee police for its delayed investigation, the state attorney's office opted not to press charges against Winston.
The Associated Press also reported Winston was among a group of players questioned about their involvement in a BB gun battle and Tallahassee Burger King employees complained Winston was among players stealing soft drinks and making a mess in the store.

The worst American drought in decades has deepened.
The U.S. Drought Monitor now has 60.1 percent of the lower 48 states in some form of drought. Extreme or exceptional drought, the two most severe categories, now affects more than 19 percent of the land area.
Colorado is way behind as well. The poor showing of snowfall so far has experts concerned the state may endure another lost ski season.
"There have been a bunch of years (ski seasons) with similar setups to this one, and the majority ended up dry," said Klaus Wolter, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecaster.
If that happens, Colorado will experience back-to-back dry winters.
A recent Denver Post story reported that from 2007 to 2011, 41 percent of Colorado home insurance claims paid out were due to large-scale events, the ninth highest share of any state.
Catastrophes caused $1.6 billion in damages in Colorado from 1990 to 1999, the article says. In 2010 and 2011 alone, they triggered $1.1 billion in damages. The totals aren't in yet, but 2012 was the worst summer on record for property-destroying wildfires.
Until now, hailstorms had posed a bigger problem. The July 2009 hailstorm, for example, generated $768 million in claims.
Drought is insidious. The Fern Lake Fire in Rocky Mountain National Park, which began Oct. 9, is still burning. A flare-up on Dec. 1 forced the evacuation of parts of Estes Park.
Reservoirs have been drawn down, ski resort bookings are down, and the last few days of November and the first few days of December had fire-weather watches across the state because of high temperatures, low relative humidity and strong winds. Boulder is nearly 5 inches below normal in moisture for the year.
Still, Boulder has had 23 Novembers that were drier than this November. And there have been 11 with less snow. Although last month was 4 degrees warmer than normal, there have been 12 Novembers that were warmer.
The high on Nov. 21 was 73 degrees, which broke the previous record of 72, set in 1939.

Gerry: Brown, Werner could be surprise Steelers picks Wednesday, 24 April 2013 16:57 Written by Gerry Dulac The Steelers go into tomorrow's NFL draft with any number of four or five players who they think will be within their reach at No. 17.
Among those are tight end Tyler Eifert, wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, outside linebacker Jarvis Jones and safety Kenny Vaccaro. You can even throw in running back Eddie Lacy.
To me, Eifert was the best player I saw at the NFL combine in February and, since then, have advocated the Steelers picking him in the first round.
First and foremost, the Steelers need more receiving threats to surround Ben Roethlisberger and Eifert might be the best of them all. Sure, he is not going to replace Mike Wallace, but let's face it – Todd Haley's offense is not the best fit for Mike Wallace.
Having Wallace run underneath routes or curl patterns is not the best way to employ him. Wallace and his speed are best suited for an outside, over-the-top type of attack, like the Steelers had with Bruce Arians.
But they don't play that way with Haley, who likes to keep the ball in the middle of the field and usually underneath the deep coverage. That fits perfectly with Eifert, who could be paired in combo with Heath Miller and give the Steelers two big, sure-handed receivers in the middle of the field.
That being said, I want to alert you to two players who could be surprise picks on the first round for the Steelers:
Inside linebacker Arthur Brown of Kansas State.
And defensive end Bjoern Werner of Florida State.
The Steelers love Brown, who could be the most athletic defensive player in the draft. He was a middle linebacker at K-State and that's where the Steelers see him as well, even though a lot of draft boards list him as an outside linebacker.
The Steelers thought they found a replacement for James Farrior last year when they drafted Miami's Sean Spence on the third round, but Spence may never play football again because of a severe knee injury suffered last preseason. It's the reason they had to re-sign veteran Larry Foote for another season.
Werner was projected as a top 10 pick at the combine, one of the best 4-3 defensive ends. But, for some reason, he has been dropping in a lot of mock drafts.
Still, the Steelers saw enough athleticism and agility in Werner to convince them he could play at outside linebacker. He is rangy at 6-3, 261, and can pressure off the edge – something the Steelers have been lacking since the middle of the 2011 season.
So, if you looking for two surprise picks for the Steelers, remember those players.
Tyler Eifert @ 17

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A trio of retired Louisville EMS vehicles are embarking on the ultimate road trip. A group of local doctors and volunteers will drive the three ambulances to central America this week to help the residents of struggling towns in Guatemala.
The ambulances were retired by Metro EMS after their odometers rolled past 100,000 miles. Rather than allow them to rust or sell them, Metro EMS director Dr. Neal Richmond and local plastic surgeon Dr. John Barker worked together to find out a way to put the vehicles to good use.
Barker, who has made several medical mission trips to foreign countries over the years, thought donating the still-operational vehicles to areas in need would be a better than having them sit idle.
"We had these three big empty ambulances, and I thought that's a shame to have empty space," Barker said.
The ambulances won't be heading south empty. Louisville-based Supplies Over Seas and a local church are donating supplies and goods to take on the 2,900-mile trip. A local auto service store also gave all three vehicles a free tune-up to make sure they're capable of making the journey.
"It's just the fun of seeing something here that we're not using and something they could use so much," Barker said.
One of the ambulances will go to Hospicio San Jose de la Montana orphanage in Santa Lucia Milpas Altas. The orphanage is home to children who are HIV-positive. The ambulance will serve as a shuttle to take the children to medical appointments.
The city of Quiche, a community of 500,000, will also receive an ambulance. The vehicle will be used by the Bomberos, the town's fire department, and the local EMS service.
The volunteers will also deliver a vehicle to the village of Patzun, which was devastated following Hurricane Stan in 2005.The trip is expected to take about a week.
"It's a really great way to link with some community that has all the same needs as we do but very few of the resources," Richmond said. "People go to extreme lengths to get help, and we're just trying to give them a couple of tools."

BOSTON — The season that threatened never to start tried as hard as it could never to end.
Seventy-six seconds from forcing a Game 7 that would have been the latest finish to a Stanley Cup in history — not to mention the closest any Conn Smythe Trophy winner would have come to being dubbed Mr. July — the Boston Bruins took their eye off the ball and it all slipped away.
From nowhere, the Chicago Blackhawks got goals 17 seconds apart by Bryan Bickell and Dave Bolland to stun the gritty Bruins and their full-throated crowd at TD Garden — and truth be told, even shocked themselves — to win a 3-2 thriller and claim their second Stanley Cup in four seasons.
The Presidents' Trophy winners as the NHL's best regular-season team did the increasingly rare double.
"It is an unbelievable feeling. My head is spinning. I don't know what really happened the past 20 minutes," said Patrick Kane, the dynamic little Chicago winger who was voted winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
He led all Chicago scorers with 19 points — nine in their final 10 games — and scored many of the biggest goals along their playoff trail.
"You think you're going back for Game 7 and you score two goals to win it in regulation," he said. "We were just trying to get the puck in deep, trying to get the puck on net. Jonny (Toews) made a great pass to (Bickell) and he just finished it off. Then you do it again 17 seconds later. You can't write the script any better."
It was not a work of art they fashioned Monday night on that 200-foot slushie on Causeway Street — the product of what may have been the hottest day ever to end in a Cup final game — but like the rest of the series, it was compelling theatre and hard as nails.
"I'm pretty exhausted right now. Once we fill the Cup up, we'll be going pretty good," Toews, the blood-and-guts captain who played a fabulous Game 6 though he took a fearful pounding doing it, said after missing the third period of Game 5 with what was widely speculated to be a head injury.
Whether the Hawks snatched victory from the jaws of defeat — or the Bruins did the opposite — is a debate for another day.
"Well, I mean, how can you call that?" said Toews. "We knew we needed just one bounce there. Obviously, that was a big goal for them to go up 2-1, but you never know what can happen so you don't stop playing until the end. And it's a nice finish, not having to go back to Chicago."
"It's kind of like the season we had," said Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville, who joins Chicago Bears founder George Halas and the Bulls' Phil Jackson in the ranks of Windy City coaches who've won multiple championships.
"It was one of those seasons we were almost charmed the way we started the season (24 games without a regulation loss) and the way we ended it. Nobody saw that one coming either way."
Both teams were physically debilitated by the end. The list of injured players will come out in the next couple of days and it won't be pretty but for starters, Toews probably ought to have been in a quiet room somewhere, Marian Hossa had a disc out of place in his back that made his right foot "all numb all the time" and the Bruins' Patrice Bergeron suffered a broken rib and torn rib cartilage during Game 5, and a separated shoulder in the finale.
"This time around, we know how much work and sacrifice it takes to get back here — and this is an unbelievable group," said Toews. "Those guys worked like dogs. We had great players sitting out every day that didn't get to play. Those guys sacrificed. It feels pretty special when you give so much to something."
There was no earthly reason this classic final shouldn't have gone to a seventh game after the Bruins took a 2-1 lead at 12:11 of the third period on a Milan Lucic goal.
But in what became a pattern as the series moved toward the end, the Blackhawks once again were able to find a way around Boston's towering rearguard, Zdeno Chara, to tie the game on a feed from Toews that the giant Chara couldn't get his stick on. Bickell, the former fourth-line plugger who captured lightning in the bottle in these playoffs, banged it home for his ninth goal of the post-season.
Chara was on the ice for 10 of the last 12 goals the Hawks scored in the series and no doubt it will come out that he, too, was injured.
Overtime seemed certain, given the dearth of room to move and the tenacity of the checking, but instead, a hopeful point shot by Hawks' Johnny Oduya was deflected en route to the net, hit the post on Tuukka Rask's short side and Bolland whacked it in before the goaltender could recover.
"We all dream about scoring that Stanley Cup winner to hoist the cup, so check that one off the bucket list," said Bolland. "For sure, it was harder (than 2010). We all battled harder. It was a tougher one. We came through it all."
"Two times. Two times in four years — there is something about this core. We've got to stay together, because I think we can do some special things in the future," said Kane, who skated through pretty much the entire Bruins team in the seconds leading up to Bickell's tying goal.
"There were other guys who could have won it, too," he said. "You look at Crow (goalie Corey Crawford), maybe he got snubbed a little bit. (Bickell) and (Patrick Sharp) — but it is a great feeling."
"Kaner is a guy that needs to play with the puck," said defenceman Brent Seabrook, who scored two overtime winners in the playoffs. "When he's playing with the puck, he's so dynamic and skilled and fun to watch. Sometimes, we watch him a little bit too much. But he's a great player and once he started to get it into gear, he was going to be lights out. He was lights out in this series and the last couple of games against L.A."
He also scored the Cup-winning goal to beat Philadelphia in 2010, a wrist shot from a bad angle that somehow found the back of the net.
"But this goal, this ending, nobody saw it coming," said Quenneville. "And that series and the pace that we just saw for six straight games ... an amazing series. I commend both teams for leaving it out there."

VATICAN CITY (AP) - Cardinals enter the Sistine Chapel on Tuesday to elect the next pope amid more upheaval and uncertainty than the Catholic Church has seen in decades: There's no front-runner, no indication how long voting will last and no sense that a single man has what it takes to fix the many problems.
On the eve of the vote, cardinals offered wildly different assessments of what they're looking for in the next pontiff and how close they are to a decision. It was evidence that Benedict XVI's surprise resignation has continued to destabilize the church leadership and that his final appeal for unity may go unheeded, at least in the early rounds of voting.
Cardinals held their final closed-door debate Monday over whether the church needs more of a manager to clean up the Vatican's bureaucratic mess or a pastor to inspire the 1.2 billion faithful in times of crisis. The fact that not everyone got a chance to speak was a clear sign that there's still unfinished business on the eve of the conclave.
"This time around, there are many different candidates, so it's normal that it's going to take longer than the last time," Cardinal Francisco Javier Errazuriz of Chile told The Associated Press.
"There are no groups, no compromises, no alliances, just each one with his conscience voting for the person he thinks is best, which is why I don't think it will be over quickly."
None of that has prevented a storm of chatter over who's ahead.
The buzz in the papal stakes swirled around Cardinal Angelo Scola, an Italian seen as favored by cardinals hoping to shake up the powerful Vatican bureaucracy, and Brazilian Cardinal Odilo Scherer, a favorite of Vatican-based insiders intent on preserving the status quo.
Scola is affable and Italian, but not from the Italian-centric Vatican bureaucracy called the Curia. That gives him clout with those seeking to reform the nerve center of the church that has been discredited by revelations of leaks and complaints from cardinals in the field that Rome is inefficient and unresponsive to their needs.
Scherer seems to be favored by Latin Americans and the Curia. He has a solid handle on the Vatican's finances, sitting on the governing commission of the Vatican bank, as well as the Holy See's main budget committee.
As a non-Italian, the archbishop of San Paolo would be expected to name an Italian as secretary of state - the Vatican No. 2 who runs day-to-day affairs - another plus for Vatican-based cardinals who would want one of their own running the shop.
The pastoral camp seems to be focusing on two Americans, New York archbishop Timothy Dolan and Boston archbishop Sean O'Malley. Neither has Vatican experience. Dolan has acknowledged his Italian isn't strong - seen as a handicap for a job in which the lingua franca of day-to-day work is Italian.
Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet is well-respected, stemming from his job at the important Vatican office that vets bishop appointments. Less well known is that he has a lovely singing voice and can be heard belting out French folk songs on occasion.
If the leading names fail to reach the 77 votes required for victory in the first few rounds of balloting, any number of surprise candidates could come to the fore as alternatives.
It all starts Tuesday with the cardinals checking into the Santa Marta residence on the edge of the Vatican gardens. The rooms are simple and impersonal, but a step up from the cramped conditions the cardinals faced before the hotel was put to use in 2005, when long lines would form at the Apostolic Palace for using bathrooms.
At 10 a.m., the dean of the College of Cardinals, Angelo Sodano, will lead the celebration of the "Pro eligendo Pontificie" Mass - the Mass for the election of a pope - inside St. Peter's Basilica, joined by the 115 cardinals who will vote.
This is followed at 4:30 p.m. with a procession into the Sistine Chapel, with the cardinals intoning the Litany of Saints, the hypnotic Gregorian chant imploring the saints to help guide their voting. After another chant calling on the Holy Spirit to intervene, the cardinals take the oath of secrecy, followed by a meditation delivered by elderly Maltese Cardinal Prosper Grech.
Then the master of papal liturgical ceremonies gives the order "Extra omnes" - "Everyone out" - and all but those taking part in the conclave leave the chapel's frescoed walls.
During the voting that ensues, each cardinal writes his choice on a rectangular piece of paper inscribed with the words "Eligo in summen pontificem" - Latin for "I elect as Supreme Pontiff."
Holding the folded ballot up in the air, each approaches the altar and places it on a saucer, before tipping it into an oval urn, as he intones these words: "I call as my witness, Christ the Lord, who will be my judge that my vote is given to the one who, before God, I think should be elected."
After the votes are counted, and the outcomes announced, the papers are bound together with a needle and thread, each ballot pierced through the word "Eligo." The ballots are then placed in a cast-iron stove and burned with a special chemical.
That's when all eyes will turn to the 6-foot-high copper chimney erected atop the Sistine Chapel to pipe out puffs of smoke to tell the world if there's a new pope.
Black smoke means "not yet" - the likely outcome after Round 1. White smoke means the 266th pope has been chosen.
The first puffs of smoke should emerge sometime around 8 p.m. Tuesday. If they are black, voting will continue, four rounds each day, until a pope is elected.
Dolan, a possible papal contender, was bounding with optimism by the end of the pre-conclave meetings and the drama about to unfold.
"I'm kind of happy they're over because we came here to elect a pope and we'll start it tomorrow with the holy sacrifice of the Mass, then into the conclave and look for the white smoke!" Dolan enthused on his radio show on SiriusXM's "The Catholic Channel."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Junior Tiffany Wright earned Big West Player of the Week honors for the second time this season after helping the Gauchos to a series win over Pacific this past weekend.
The outfielder opened the series against the Tigers with a 2-for-4 effort with a pair of doubles and two runs in UCSB's 7-4 win. Later in the day, she went 1-for-3 with a run in the nightcap of the twinbill to help the Gauchos to a 3-1 victory.
Her best performance came on Sunday when she went 3-for-4 with a homer, two RBI, two runs scored, and a double in UCSB's 8-6 loss to the Tigers in the series finale. Her home run was her 10th of the season and the 21st of her career, leaving her just two home runs shy of the program's all-time career mark.
This season Wright is batting .323 on the season with 23 extra-base hits and 32 RBI. In Big West play, she leads the team with her .444 batting average and 19 runs scored.
The Gauchos will conclude the 2008 regular season on the road next weekend at Cal State Fullerton. The two teams will face-off in a doubleheader at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 9 before completing the Big West series with a noon game on Sunday.

Winkelman Publishes Article on Jane Addams
An article by Visiting Assistant Professor of Government Joel Winkelman has been published in the current issue of The Review of Politics. His article, "A Working Democracy: Jane Addams on the Meaning of Work" examines the relationship between work and democracy in the political thought of the activist and reformer Jane Addams.
Winkelman shows that a particular understanding of the work ethic was central to Addams's vision of democracy, one that emphasized not only strong individual identities, but also cooperative communities, social solidarity and civic reciprocity. His article also suggests that Addams's thought could be applied to many contemporary political problems, and that today's democratic theory and practice would be enlivened by a renewed attention to labor and the workplace.

NOTE: The Lovell Street entrance to the Central Library parking lot will be closed periodically due to construction. The Rose Street (west) entrance will remain open.
Log in
Day Trip, along with its companion live EP, Tokyo Day Trip, finds guitarist Pat Metheny returning to a trio format with a new lineup, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Antonio Sanchez. McBride, Rolling Stone's "Hot Jazz Artist" in 1992, has worked with a who's who of jazz greats - Freddie Hubbard, Ray Brown, Pat Martino, and George Duke, to name but a few. Antonio Sanchez is no slouch either, having performed with the likes of Chick Corea, Michael Brecker, Joshua Redman, John Patitucci, David Sanchez, Paquito D'Rivera, Charlie Haden, and Toots Thielmans. Sanchez is also part of Metheny's newer quartet, along with Gary Burton and Steve Swallow.
I ran onto both of these titles in Kev's Decibel Decisions list - a pleasing discovery, indeed. Day Trip is strait forward traditional trio work, recorded in New York on a single day in October, 2005. Smooth and innovative... polished, but creatively edgy. The session runs Metheny's usual gamut of styles, from acoustic ballads to prog-laced electric fusion. Standouts for me are "The Red One" and Calvin's Keys," but there's not a throwaway in the bunch - a very satisfying journey.
And… if the studio session leaves you wishing for more, there's a live companion EP, actually recorded at the end of 2004 in Tokyo prior to the studio session. Like its counterpart, there are a couple of lovely acoustic ballads, some straight-forward fusion (imagine Metheny meets Crimson in Thrak-land) and some inspired material more reminiscent of his PMG work. Again, well worth the time.

Norquist to attend anti-tax group's rally at Capitol today
- Associated Press
- April 27, 2013 - 6:32 AM
Well-known anti-tax figure Grover Norquist is bringing his message to Minnesota, which is in the heat of a big tax debate.
The Americans for Tax Reform leader will appear Saturday at an annual anti-tax rally at the state Capitol. The rally often draws large crowds and a roster of prominent Republican speakers.
Norquist's visit coincides with a debate in the Legislature over a range of tax increases.
The Democratic majorities have advanced bills that would raise high-end income tax rates, taxes on alcohol, clothes and other things. They want to use the money to close a budget gap, pay off old debt and give aid increases to schools and additional priorities.
The House passed a tax proposal last week. The Senate is due to vote on its tax plan Monday.
