Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
To all whom read here,I assume (we all know what that means) that for LinunMCE related products for sale and in search of this is the place to post. If I'm wrong please advise. I hate making the same mistake twice....I am in search of the following to purchase, trade or obtain for "free":1: A current - up-to-date - paperback, hardbook or CD on the installation, set-up and workings of a basic LinuxMCE,2: A current - up-to-date - paperback, hardbook or CD of "advanced" workings of LinuxMCE ( like a CE based description, or, a LinuxMCE Bible),3: Information and/or location of any LinuxMCE "CE" training or testing programs available in the U.S. (Texas) or website location for such,4: Location of description of "Required Licenses" and how to obtain them if any are required,5: Someone whom would be willing to provide me a detailed list (model numbers, description, etc..), or, a url, of a complete working system they have set up. I found after reading a few forum post that some of the cards and such are either hard to find or no longer available. I am very eager to set-up a working system using current available equipment for my learning lab so I don't want to spend a lot of money on cards that I either don't need or won't work. I am willing to pay a reasonable amount for such a list.I have a serious thirst for knowledge in projects like this. I would love to obtain any used books available as long as they are in fairly good shape and I'm not charged the original price paid (yes I'm a cheap tightwad). MUST BE IN ENGLISH, no offence to anyone, I'm too old to learn another language at this point in my life. I will pay for shipping to the U.S. (Texas). I wish to obtain as much knowledge as possible from reading books or materials without reading the Wiki. I don't do well with wiki's. Thanks for your time,Amphibian
Sir 13mce,you wrote "You cannot sell LinuxMCE. You clearly know this as you are purposefully being disingenuous about your reasons for wanting hard copy/setup information."No where have I indicated or do I believe that I have lead anyone to thinking I wanted to "sell" LinuxMCE. I think I've made it very clear as to what my intentions are and also that I have been forthcoming in where I hope to be knowledge wise with the use of LinuxMCE. Only a self-assuming, egotistical, self-righteous narcissistic SOB would even make such a statement to a newby (such as myself) to great a project that I feel LinuxMCE is. Even with all the Asterisk, Elastix PBX, Web, Mail and other like servers I posses not once have I sold or offered to sell the software or violated any license agreement to free and open source projects. Now I admit to being guilty as a reseller of VoIP, offering answering & dispatch services, hosted PBX services, and development of training manuals as that is how I make my living, but not once have I ever offered to sell any PBX, Web and/or any associated hardware that includes or have installed open source licensed software. My only request for license information was to make sure that I didn't violate any copy-write laws pertaining to the recording, ripping or storing of music and videos on the server since I'm new to this project.When I get involved with what I feel is an exciting project I go full force into learning it so that I can take full advantage of the project and eventually try to return the faavor of free by offering up knowledge that can help others. I have even been known to donate to the cause, including but not limited to, monies and the designing of hardware/software to further the project when it meant that it would benefit the multitudes of the masses. I belong to several groups in this state and we all have the same intentions. We like to take new ideas and make them work. There is no greater enjoyment then being able to be on the "ground floor" of a new project and being part of its advancement and make new ideas work.Normally, being the sixty-two year old A**hole I am proud to be, I would tell you where you could put LinuxMCE but I'm not going to allow some inept like you to cause me to lower my standards to your level by doing so. I can though assure you that the likelihood of me wanting to jump and have any further desire to offer up my asterisk knowledge or other assistance on this project is not likely to happen any time soon. It's people like you that force good well intentioned individuals to want to run as far as one can the other direction. If you are a resemblance of what one has to look forward to on this forum when asking for assistance or knowledge then I may well be wasting my time being here.Amphibian
I guess that is easier than being honest.Lol at creating a home automation "program" not being "that hard". See Google's android@home... or Microsoft HomeOS. I expect your resources are probably greater. Again... thirst does not go unquenched with liquid in front of you. You do not have a thirst for knowledge... you have dollar signs in your eyes. You are now having a fight or flight reflex being exposed.I am sure we will see you again.Next time, just be straightforward. I spend 100 hours per week on average helping people... for no reason other than I want this project to exist. All I ask in return is the thing you seem incapable of. I guess it is a hazard of a life in sales.BTW I am just a user. I do not represent LinuxMCE. I am one of the more active ones, but I am not the project and have no vested interest or authority.
I have a few LinuxMCE for dummies for sale, they come with current supported hardware list. But you need to pay via western union.

Although Max Payne 3 managed to secure the number two spot in last month's NPD numbers, actual sales figures suggest Rockstar's latest has seriously underperformed. According to NPD stats, Max Payne 3 managed to sell 440K units.
While that number may seem impressive to some, it is a far cry from the first-month sales of Rockstar's big 2011 game, LA Noire. That game sold nearly 900K units, but even that game fell short of industry expectations. With Max Payne selling even fewer copies, it's unsurprising that Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter would call the game "a flop."
Pachter points out the game's eight-year development, and claims "Rockstar put off releasing GTA" to work on MP3. Rockstar has admitted that the long-troubled development of Max Payne 3 eventually required the work of many of its global studios.
It's clear that Take-Two Interactive, parent company of Rockstar, was betting big on Max Payne 3's success. In its last financial report, Take-Two claims retail sell-in of about 3 million units. With only 440K units sold in the US, that means there are a few million units of unsold inventory sitting on store shelves. If you haven't bought Max Payne 3 yet (and by the looks of these numbers, you likely haven't), retail markdowns are likely to happen in the coming weeks.

The Personal Daily Horoscope gives you the option to subscribe to the "Extended Daily Horoscope" which allows you to scroll back and forth in time, so that you can read the "nearly-active" long-term influences at your leisure.
- Why
is my Daily Horoscope a day late / early?
Try changing the reference place, following the link Change reference place in the right column of the Daily Horoscope page. The horoscope is always shown with the correct time and date of the reference place you have given.
For example, if you have changed your reference place to somewhere on the other side of the world (maybe for a relocation chart), you'll get your daily horoscope for the time zone of this new reference place.
In addition, and actually more important: Transits have what we call an orb: the issue begins already when the two planets involved get near each other and it continues after they have met. The date and time given is the time of the precise encounter between the two planets, but very often the effect is felt way ahead.
- Why
do I get my "Happy Birthday" horoscope a day before or after my
Astrologically, your birthday is on the day on which the Sun in the sky is exactly at the same zodiac degree as the Sun in your birth chart. This does not have to happen on the same date every year. Sometimes it happens a day earlier or later. This is your "astrological birthday".
- Why
are the transits not listed in chronological order?
The list is in order of relevance. Because transit timings are interleaved in a complex way, it is not really possible to order them chronologically.

10 Discussion Questions for Book Clubs and Others
Acceptance: A Novel

Other groups that wish to use this guide should link to the site or check the "Contact" page on One-Minute Book Reviews to learn how to request permission to reproduce the guide.
Susan Coll sends up the college-admissions race in Acceptance, a novel set in a Washington, D.C., suburb that seethes with brainy students and overinvolved parents. Will the junior class president nicknamed AP Harry (for all his Advanced Placement courses) get into Harvard? Will the troubled Taylor regret sending a kinky essay to a school that's flying high after a statistical error raised its ranking in U.S. News & World Report? Will the athletic Maya impress any college after she quits the high school swim team? Behind these questions lies the larger one that drives Acceptance: Can any of these students — or their parents — emerge from the year-long frenzy with a scrap of sanity?
Farrar, Straus & Giroux has posted an extensive readers' guide to Acceptance at www.fsgbooks.com that you may want to use at a starting point for your discussions. But like most publishers' guides, that guide is part of a publicity campaign designed to sell books. It does not encourage criticism, quote negative reviews or suggest that you compare the novel to others on similar topics. For these reasons, the FSG guide may have less depth or promote a less lively conversation than you or your group would prefer. The following Totally Unauthorized Reading Group Guide is not intended to be comprehensive but to raise questions not covered by the FSG guide.
Questions for Readers
1. In a blurb on the cover, author Kurt Andersen rightly calls Acceptance a "satire." What does it satirize besides the college-admissions race at a suburban high school?
2. Acceptance has a strong element of social commentary. Early on Coll writes:
"Study after study showed that there was no correlation between where a person went to college and his or her future happiness, or even earning power." [Page 12]
But some Verona parents act as though their children's lives will implode if they don't get into certain schools. Later the admissions officer Olivia Sheraton reflects on the inequities of being female when she notes that "with a skewed ratio of girls to boys applying to liberal arts schools," the female applicants "were at a disadvantage before they knew what hit them." [Page 263]
One test of whether social commentary works in a novel is that even if you disagree with the opinions in the book, you accept them because they fit the characters. Another test is whether a book still reads like a novel instead of an editorial. How well does the social commentary work in Acceptance?
3. The most popular satirical novels of recent decades include Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities, Jane Smiley's Moo and Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary. If you've read any of them, how effective was their satire compared with that of Acceptance? Why?
4. Coll uses omniscient narration, going inside the heads of at least five people (Harry, Taylor, Maya, Grace, Olivia). Directly showing more than one character's point of view is common in novels. But this technique can have a drawback: Unless handled with skill, it can create distance between the reader and characters or keep you from identifying with any of them. How well does Coll handle this issue?
5. Grace, the mother of AP Harry, is the moral center of the novel. Would Acceptance have been more effective if Coll had told the story from just Grace's point of view or from hers and Harry's? Would it have been possible to tell the story that way? In Bridget Jones's Diary Fielding tells her story strictly from Bridget's point of view. What effect does this have on how well each novel works?
6. A reviewer on Amazon.com (Constant Reader — Richmond, VA) thought that the "dozens of characters and several subplots muddy this satire about insecure teenagers (and their more insecure parents)." Do you agree or disagree? If you agree, which subplots or characters would you cut to strengthen the story?
7. One of the challenges of using multiple story lines, as Coll does, is that you have to tie them together at the end. How well did Coll do this?
8. Coll sprinkles her novel generously with clichés, such as when she writes that Grace "deduced that despite his best efforts to get a leg up on his peers, at the end of the day a Harvard acceptance was just going to boil down to the luck of the draw." [Page 127] That sentence has at least five clichés. Clichés can be justified in fiction if they have a literary purpose – for example, if they are used for comic effect or to show that a character is dim. But using clichés is tricky. If you use too many, your writing may seem stale or your characters unoriginal. Does Coll justify her use of clichés? How?
9. Acceptance is set in the fictional suburb of Verona, a name with a literary history: Romeo and Juliet is set in Verona, Italy. Serious writers typically have a reason for making such links. Why do you think Coll might have called her suburb Verona? Does this lead you to expect a tragedy? If so, is this misleading given that the novel is a comedy? Or does the novel also involve a tragedy?
10. Some people say that "real life isn't like college – it's like high school" (an idea that Meryl Streep used in a speech at Smith). How, if at all, does this apply to Acceptance?
11. Acceptance is similar in its title, structure and themes to Nancy Lieberman's Admissions (Warner, 2005), a novel about the race to get into elite New York private high schools. If you've read Admissions, how would you compare the books?
12. Acceptance also has similarities to Tom Perrotta's Election (Berkley, 1998), a comic novel about a New Jersey high school election made into a movie with Reese Withersoon. Both books deal with teenage ambition in suburbia. If you've read Election, how would you compare the books? What conclusions might someone who knew nothing about American teenagers (or suburbs) draw from the novels?
13. Coll tells us on the dust jacket that she has a child in college but doesn't say where. What effect would it have had on your view of the novel if you knew that Coll had a child at Harvard or another school in the book? What effect would it have had if you knew that she had child who had been rejected by Harvard?
14. How do you think the Harvard admissions office and others with strong ties to the university would react to this novel?
A review of Acceptance appeared on One-Minute Book Reviews www.oneminutebookreviews.wordpress.com
on May 13, 2007, and is archived with the May posts and in the "Novels" category.
You may also want to read:
Admissions. By Nancy Lieberman. Warner, 365 pp., $13.95, paper. Published: September 2005 (paperback edition). Students at Manhattan "feeder" schools (for grades kindergarten through eight) struggle for spots at top private schools in this light social comedy. Admissions has parallels to Acceptance that your group may want to explore. For example, the first sentence of Lieberman's book calls the admissions race a "blood sport." Acceptance uses the same phrase to describe the competition for spots at elite colleges. [Page 47] Coll has also used a format similar to Lieberman's in following several students through the application process. Which author uses this technique more effectively? Why?

A barge company is seeking damages from the longshoremen's union for establishing waterborne picket lines that impede grain shipments.
Tidewater Barge Lines, based in Vancouver, Wash., has filed a lawsuit claiming the International Longshore and Warehouse Union's picket lines violate federal labor law.
The picket lines are aimed at inducing the barge company's employees — represented by the Inland Boatmen's Union of the Pacific — to refuse transporting products for two grain handlers, the complaint said.
The grain handlers, United Grain and Columbia Grain, have locked out longshoremen from export terminals in Vancouver and Portland during a yearlong labor contract dispute.
Tidewater Barge Lines claims the pickets have negatively affected its business even though it has no conflict with the longshoremen's union.
The National Labor Relations Board has also asked a federal judge for an injunction that would stop ILWU's waterborne pickets that harm the barge company.
An investigation by the NLRB has led the agency to believe the pickets are an unfair labor practice because Tidewater is a neutral party in the dispute that has no control over the grain handlers' labor practices, according to court documents.
The agency said it has documented several incidents in which longshoremen maneuvered picket boats on the Columbia and Snake rivers to impede the movement of Tidewater vessels.
Some of the incidents occurred near the Port of Wilma in Washington, where Tidewater crews refused to cross ILWU picket lines to ship grain from facilities owned by Columbia Grain, according to a court document filed by NLRB.
Other incidents occurred near Hayden Island in Oregon, where longshoremen picketed tugboats to prevent Tidewater from accessing grain barges, the document said.
Disrupting the business of an "unoffending neutral employer" violates the National Labor Relations Act and such coercive conduct should be enjoined by the court, the NLRB said.
The ILWU has filed court papers claiming that its activities are constitutionally protected free speech and so the injunction request must be denied.
The union argues that "picketing of grain barges, even when hauled to and from the locked out elevators by neutral secondary employers, does not transform lawful primary picketing into unlawful conduct."
The picketing is aimed only at barges that service the Columbia Grain and United Grain, the ILWU said. The union also alleges that NLRB hasn't met the legal threshold to win an injunction.
"The preliminary injunction sought by the board here creates significant risks to the First Amendment, because it seeks to enjoin the union from peaceful picketing and publicizing its primary dispute with the locked-out elevators," the ILWU said.
Oral arguments about the proposed injunction were set for Oct. 10 before a federal court in Portland.
Meanwhile, there appears to be thawing in relations between the grain handlers and the longshoremen's union.
Negotiations between the two groups broke down more than six months ago.
However, the parties held a meeting on Oct. 3, said Pat McCormick, spokesman for the grain handlers.
While the details of the talks have not been made public, the grain handlers and ILWU have agreed to additional meetings in October and November, he said.

The first time I saw S4-342 Square Swatches Spellbinders Nestabilities®, my thoughts immediately went to a quilt. With quilts being warm, cozy, and full of love, this family photo was going to be perfect to use with a quilted background!
S4-342 Square Swatches
1. 3/4"
2. 1 1/2"
3. 2 1/4"
4. 3"
5. 4"
E8-013 Classic Decorative Inserts Five
Diamond: 5/8" x 8"
Scalloped Dots: 3/4" x 8"
Scalloped and Swirls: 5/8" x 8"
I started by using die number 5, where one is the smallest. It was placed on the A-Base Plate with the cut edges facing up.
Then the patterned paper was placed face down into the die template.
Always place whatever side of your paper you want showing face down into your die template. This ensures that your embossing will be on the correct side.
Top the patterned paper with the C-Cutting Plate. Run through the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® machine.
Leaving the paper inside the die template, place the Tan Embossing pad and B-Embossing Plate over the top, as shown. Run through the machine again.
Ink the edges of each square.
Using S4-126 Classic Squares LG, die template number 6, trace faux stitching lines.
The die template nests inside the die cut shape perfectly.
The finished square.
Repeat these steps for each square, using different colors of patterned paper. A 12 x 12" layout can have a total of nine squares when using the largest die template.
To create the 100% wool felt border, I used E8-013 Classic Decorative Inserts Five. This set comes with three decorative inserts. I chose the one third from the top. It works perfectly with E8-003 Classic Ric Rac's edger.
Each Spellbinders Edgeabilities® die measure 8." So to "measure" my piece of 100% wool felt, I placed the edger on the felt and trimmed.
To keep the edger and decorative inserts in place, use several small pieces of low-tack tape. I use one piece on each end of each die template, for a total of four pieces.
To maximize the effectiveness of the delicate cutting of this decorative insert, place the insert, cut edge up (so the felt is on top), on the center of the A-Base Plate.
Because these dies feature such intricate cutting and embossing detail, you may need to cut twice. If an area didn't cut completely, add a paper or cardstock shim only that section. Cut again, then emboss for a beautiful and intricate design!
With one pass through the Grand Calibur, look at how beautifully the details cut!
Layer the felt border on top of a cardstock border.
Here is another project I made using S4-342 Square Swatches and E8-013 Classic Decorative Inserts Five. For more details about this card, please stop back in a couple of days!

I was thinking of ways we could maybe generate more activity at Chiefs Crowd during the off season and current lockout. I have a Dallas Texans Riddell throwback mini helmet autographed by Len Dawson, that I would like to offer up as a prize to the winner of a Chiefs Crowd contest.
The contest idea would need to be one that will inspire more frequent activity by members, & possibly related to a members participation/activity somehow. Any contest ideas, suggestions, or general thoughts about a contest to inspire more participation during this slow time?
We could have Chiefs trivia on a couple certain days weekly...the first member to respond correctly get's points, then at the end of a 30 day cycle the person with the most points win's the mini helmet? The negative aspect I see with an online trivia though is it would have to be on an honor system, no way to prevent someone from Googling the answers. Not that Chiefs Crowd members aren't honest, hahaha...just sayin based upon experience when we played trivia every Friday night at Kid Rock's website during it's slow time, which was typically winter, no tours. Some members admitted to Googling, but they were honest with admitting they Googled, lol.
We could have mini contests within the main contest...give points for each mini contest won, the member again with the most points in a 30 day cycle winning. Example: we could have a mini contest asking members to submit their funniest or most embarrassing moment attending a Chiefs game...members would then vote on which members memory is the funniest. Another would be to ask members to submit their funniest tailgating photo, or most awesome game photo, and so on?
Just thinking out loud here...

WASHINGTON — Don't look for balloons or a big "Grand Opening" sign outside the National Security Agency's new Utah Data Center.
The facility is expected this fall to quietly begin sucking in massive amounts of information for the intelligence community and storing it in the cavernous buildings in Bluffdale, Utah, according to NSA officials — and it could be open now even as the agency faces scrutiny over efforts to collect data on Americans domestically.
NSA officials declined to say whether the center is already online, but the secret agency isn't known for celebrating the opening of classified buildings.
"We turn each machine on as it is installed, and the facility is ready for that installation to begin," NSA spokeswoman Vanee Vines said recently in an interview.
The data center, one of several large computer facilities run by the agency, is one of six major hubs for the NSA and will not only serve as backup storage but also be networked into the government's intelligence gathering so analysts from other sites can access it in real time.
The $1.5 billion building, based on the Utah National Guard's Camp Williams straddling Utah and Salt Lake counties, will be the NSA's largest computing center in the world with about 1 million square feet of space, a tenth of that taken up by computer servers.
But the Utah center opens amid a firestorm over the NSA's data collection after news reports, mainly in The Guardian and The Washington Post, revealed classified documents showing the agency is collecting data about Americans' domestic phone calls and is able to tap into social-media platforms in its searches.
Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee and has been critical of the NSA's methods, said this week that he plans in the next few days to sketch out what authority the agency is using to justify its collection of domestic intelligence and that hearings will be held.
"There is no question there is going to be increased scrutiny of these kinds of practices," Wyden said, "because Americans understand this is a dangerous time, but the government, if it's going to collect [this information], ought to have to say here's how it contributes to security of the American people. They have not made that case."
A week before former NSA contractor Edward Snowden began leaking classified information on the agency's previously secret activities, Deputy Director John Inglis said that the Utah Data Center should be welcomed to the state because it plays such a critical role in protecting national security. Folks who live in its shadows or see it while driving on Interstate 15 or Redwood Road shouldn't fret, he said.
"They shouldn't be worried because, A, we're Americans," Inglis said. "We understand what the principles are that govern the nation; [and] B, we take an oath to the Constitution, and we take that very seriously."
Inglis added that the agency tells its employees it's "not just important that we do something ... it's important that we do it the right way. We have to do it in a principled manner."
Some Utah politicians have been invited to tour the facility and were there for a ceremony earlier this year to mark the multiyear project's completion. The event was closed to reporters and some local officials.

The big story through Thursday will be the Arctic chill & dangerous wind chills, hence a wind chill advisory has been posted for all of WNY & the Finger Lakes for tonight & Wednesday morning for wind chill readings that will likely average between -20 & -10 & possibly dip to -25 at times! A brisk northerly wind will blow on the backside of the developing nor'easter affecting the big cities tonight into Wednesday. The cold, Arctic flow will not only produce the nasty wind chills, but also provide us with a little lake snow, especially around & north of the Thruway through Thursday. The lake snow will not add up to much, but as you can see in the graphic above, around & north of I-90, a 1 to 3" snowfall is expected through Wednesday, while a bit more will fall in spots near Rt. 104 to the lake shore, & just a coating to an inch or so across the Finger Lakes south. Lake snows will probably flare up a little more so later Wednesday night into Thursday, as a little weakening system slides just to the south, which will likely provide most of us with a minor accumulation for late Wednesday night through Thursday.
The winds will then become more westerly to southwesterly late Thursday night & especially Friday, which will shift the lake snows out of here & east & eventually northeast of Lake Ontario in advance of the next Arctic front due to blast through later Saturday/early Saturday night. Ahead & with the Arctic front late Friday night into Saturday, a solid 1 to 3 or 4" snowfall looks to be probable, before significant lake snows quite possibly set up Saturday night into Sunday close to, or in the Greater Rochester area. This is something we will have to watch closely over the coming days. Either way, it will be brisk & bitter again later Saturday night into Sunday & right through at least the first part of next week! What a stretch to say the least! At this point, no big storms appear to be on the horizon through the next week or so, but this could change so stay tuned for updates during the period.
Have a great night & do what you can to stay warm everyone!

The World Series ended not long ago, and the Dodgers have only spent $50 million in free agency so far (if you include Ryu Hyun-Jin's posting fee), but that doesn't mean it's too early to start looking forward to the 2013 (fantasy) baseball season.
Over the next couple weeks, the Rotoworld staff will look at some players whose arrows are pointing up for 2013. Fantasy risers, if you will. We'll break them down by division, with the AL East hitting leadoff.
Brandon Morrow, SP, Blue Jays
Morrow has been worthy of attention in fantasy leagues since arriving in Toronto in the winter of 2009 and being moved into the rotation on a full-time basis by the Blue Jays. Blessed with an electric fastball and wipeout slider, Morrow piled up strikeouts by the truckload in his first two seasons with the Blue Jays, posting K/9 rates of 10.9 and 10.2 in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Of course, the consistency was absent, as it was often unpredictable what you would be getting from the right-hander from start to start.
In 2012, Morrow traded in the strikeouts for a lot more outs by other means. His strikeout rate dropped all the way to 7.8, but his ERA fell to 2.96, down from the 4.61 mark he posted from 2010-2011. The biggest reason for his improvement was that he simply threw more strikes, as his BB/9 rate of 3.0 was easily a career best. He was also able to vastly improve his start-to-start consistency, indicating he might be starting to figure things out on the mound. Morrow's velocity was down slightly in 2012, which could help explain the drop in punchouts. But, the Jays and fantasy owners will gladly sacrifice some strikeouts if it means Morrow will continue his improvement in other areas. The low ERA virtually ensures he won't be undervalued next season, but he has a chance for a true breakout year.
Casey Janssen, RP, Blue Jays
The Blue Jays acquired Sergio Santos last offseason thinking he would take over as the team's closer for the next few years. But, Santos wound up missing most of the season with shoulder woes, and it was Janssen that assumed the ninth inning role after Francisco Cordero flamed out. Janssen not only settled into the role, he became one of the better relievers in the American League. The 31-year-old right-hander finished the season with a 2.54 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and fantastic 67/11 K/BB ratio over 63 2/3 frames. He converted 22 of 25 save opportunities.
The Jays are hopeful Santos will be ready for the start of spring training, but they have no reason to strip Janssen of the closer gig. The 31-year-old probably won't be drafted as one of the better fantasy closers next season, but he should be.
Manny Machado, 3B, Orioles
The Orioles surprised everyone when they decided to call up Machado in early August. Machado, of course, was one of the top prospects in the game, but he had just turned 20 a month earlier and wasn't exactly tearing it up at Double-A Bowie, batting .266/.352/.438 with 11 homers and 13 steals. After getting off to a terrific start, the youngster started to fade a bit and wound up hitting .262/.294/.445 over 51 games, striking out 38 times while walking on just nine occasions.
Of course, Machado also belted seven home runs in fewer than 200 at-bats, which is awfully impressive for a guy that's still not able to legally buy a drink. The Orioles still view Machado as their shortstop over the long haul, but he'll remain at third base with J.J. Hardy around. Machado isn't ready to be a star just yet, and it will hurt if he loses shortstop eligibility in your league, but he's capable of hitting 20 homers while stealing double-digit bases.
Jason Hammel, SP, Orioles
When the Orioles dealt Jeremy Guthrie for Hammel last offseason, most figured they would suffer a bit of a dropoff with that slot in the rotation. As it turns out, it couldn't have been farther from the truth, as Hammel was Baltimore's best and most consistent starter in 2012, posting a 3.43 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 113/42 K/BB ratio over 118 innings. He was also impressive in his two postseason outings for the O's, surrendering just two runs in each of his two ALDS outings versus the Yankees.
It was easily the 30-year-old Hammel's best year, so many might chalk it up as a fluke. But, remember that the right-hander's only other extended looks in the rotation came while he had to pitch in the thin Denver air. His minor league track record suggested he was capable of this type of season. Hammel did undergo knee surgery during the year and aggravated the knee shortly after returning. He did appear to finish the year healthy, but it's something to monitor.
Chris Tillman, SP, Orioles
It's been an interesting journey for Tillman. The right-hander was viewed as one of the better pitching prospects in the game when he was promoted back in 2009, but he struggled mightily that year as a ripe 21-year-old and didn't get any better over the next two seasons, even pitching poorly at Triple-A last year. But, suddenly in 2012 his fastball velocity jumped up and his slider and changeup were much more effective. Now 24, Tillman put up a 2.93 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in his 15 starts with the Orioles this season.
It's natural to be skeptical of Tillman's success this season given his past struggles, but he has a chance to be a fantasy surprise in 2013 if he can maintain his increased velocity and sharpness of his secondary offerings. He did deal with an elbow problem in September, but all signs point to it being a minor issue.
Chris Archer, SP, Rays
You would be hard-pressed to find many young pitchers with better raw stuff than Archer. After putting up a 3.66 ERA with 139 strikeouts over 128 innings at Triple-A Durham, Archer put his stuff on display with the Rays, punching out 36 batters across 29 1/3 frames late in the year.
As it stands right now, Archer doesn't have a spot in the Rays' rotation. However, Tampa seems likely to deal at least one starter this offseason, which could pave the way for the 24-year-old. He has definite control issues, having posted a career 5.1 BB/9 rate in the minors before a 4.0 BB/9 mark in his brief time with the Rays. But, if the role is there, Archer has the ability to be a worthwhile fantasy asset from the get-go.
Will Middlebrooks, 3B, Red Sox
Middlebrooks seemed poised to spend his first full season at Triple-A in 2012, but he wound up occupying an address in Boston for most of the year. The 24-year-old was called up in early May when Kevin Youkilis went on the disabled list, and he played so well that the Sox decided to trade Youk and install Middlebrooks as the regular third baseman. He batted .288/.325/.509 with 15 homers over 286 plate appearances before his season ended prematurely due to a broken wrist.
Middlebrooks' wrist is expected to be fully healed by spring training, and he'll be back at the hot corner in 2013. His 70/13 K/BB ratio with the Red Sox left a lot to be desired, and he never showed a whole lot of patience in the minors, either. But, there's definite 25+ homer potential here to go along with a handful of steals.
Honorable Mentions
Felix Doubront, SP, Red Sox
Doubront can have control problems at times and has had trouble staying healthy, but you take notice when a 24-year-old lefty strikes out 167 over 161 innings.
David Phelps, SP/RP, Yankees
His role with the Yankees is probably as a swingman, but Phelps pitched very well for the Bombers this season and has a nice minor league track record.
Chris Davis, INF/OF, Orioles
The K/BB ratio is ugly, and he can be vulnerable to left-handed pitching, but 33 homers is 33 homers.
Travis D'Arnaud, C, Blue Jays
A trade of J.P. Arencibia could clear the way for D'Arnaud, who is the best catching prospect in the game.

MrsBlue was particularly into watching the Oscars last night, so to compensate her for the thousands of hours of football she's suffered over the years I watched along (in between occasional boredom-inspired power naps). It was nice seeing Christoph Waltz and Quentin win: It's not fair to say those awards were well-deserved, since we didn't see most of the nominees, but it's hard for me to imagine any of the competitors outshined them, and obviously the voters agreed.

EA and Crytek announce that they are offering the chance to play Crysis Wars for free next weekend, giving everyone a chance to sample the enhanced Crysis multiplayer play included with Crysis Warhead, Crytek's first-person shooter follow-up. Beginning Monday, those willing to register on MyCrysis can download a Crysis Wars client and get an activation key to allow online play from Friday, October 10th at through Sunday, October 12th. This sparked our curiosity over whether this was intended to promote Crysis Warhead or perhaps an indication that a standalone Crysis Wars release was being considered, so we asked EA about this, and were told: "There are no plans at this time to make Crysis Wars a separate, standalone product."

"Reading skill losses during the summer months are cumulative. By the time a struggling reader reaches middle school, summer reading loss has accumulated to a two-year lag in reading achievement."
- Missouri State Library
Thanks to the resourcefulness of a couple of enterprising librarians at the Carnegie Public Library in Marceline—and the cooperation of Marceline R-5 and generosity of a couple of local civic groups—reading in Disney's boyhood home won't take the summer off this year. Although the Marceline Public Library would have continued to operate throughout the summer months, staffing issues would have made the school library inaccessible this summer.
Part of the challenge of encouraging literacy is making certain a wide variety of appropriate books is available year-round, and part involves providing the feedback necessary to aid budding readers with pronunciation and meaning. As the result of a successful grant application submitted by Shelly Herring and Joyce Clapp at the Marceline Public Library, both challenges will be met, and there will continue to plentiful opportunities for children to read throughout the summer.
The pair of librarians applied to the Missouri State Library, Office of Secretary of State, for a federally funded grant in the amount of $4,748. Those funds will provide staffing for Marceline R-5's library for half the day, and the other half of the day the 450 K-12 students enrolled in Marceline's Summer Reading Program will spend quality time reading and enjoying reading-related programs at the Marceline Public Library. Those programs will feature performers who will engage the reading program participants with some novel but enriching entertainment. For instance, on June 5 Leonardo will be on hand at the Public Library to present a "humorous, high-energy musical program" to the fourth through eighth grade reading program participants. Leonardo's presentation will be 'highly interactive,' as the energized performer gets his audience in on the act by encouraging them to sing along and demonstrate their best dance moves, all in a way to encourage reading. As Herring explains, "Leonardo literally turns books into song."
Then on June 10, comedian, puppeteer, ventriloquist, and illusionist Chris McBrien will make two appearances at the Public Library: one during the afternoon for K-8 students in the summer reading program, and again during that evening with a program for the whole family. During his evening performance, McBrien will emphasize reading together as a family activity. His program, called "Read to Succeed," is widely regarded as "one of the best reading and writing assemblies ever created."
On June 12, Jamesport's Peter and Debbie Allen, otherwise known as the Parasol Puppeteers, will use marionettes to demonstrate their ability to enable the characters described in story to jump right off of the pages where they were born and developed. With the intent to make storytellers of us all, the Allens will show the youngsters in attendance how to discover the full meaning of a story and make it come to life with simple puppets kindergarten through third graders can make themselves.
On June 17, the live entertainment portion of Marceline's summer reading program will conclude with a visit from Mark Twain's immortal characters Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher. Although the original idea was to take students in grades four and five to Hannibal, the characters who regularly perform in Twain's boyhood home are now scheduled to visit the Marceline Public Library.

Groton's bills in Kadri case near $400,000
Groton - Superintendent Paul Kadri hasn't worked in the school district since May.
But costs associated with his placement on paid administrative leave, including his salary and the legal costs surrounding his possible termination, are nearing $400,000, according to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information request filed by The Day.
Kadri was placed on leave in May due to allegations of intimidation and abusive treatment of employees, particularly women. The school board is seeking his ouster, and a closed-door termination hearing wrapped up last month.
Hired in 2008, Kadri is still being paid his $167,475 yearly salary, and costs to the district since he was placed on leave total $133,000. Meanwhile, the board has essentially been paying twice his salary for people to run the district. Randall Collins was paid $48,766 for his time as interim superintendent. Current Interim Superintendent John Ramos' salary is $140,300 through June 30.
Kadri's current contract expires on June 30, 2014. The future of that contract is likely to depend on the results of the termination hearing. Briefs from attorneys on each side are due Monday, and a decision is expected within 30 days. The hearing is being overseen by arbitrator Timothy Bornstein, who is being paid $6,400 by the school system.
Also involved in the hearing is attorney William Blake, who was also enlisted by the school board to investigate complaints against Kadri. The school district reports they have paid Blake $27,337 to date. General legal fees have cost the district another $40,027.
In a telephone interview on Friday, Kadri said that while he has accepted the arbitrator's decision as final, he would not rule out future litigation with the school system.
"There's a good chance this isn't the end," Kadri said.
Kadri contends that the school system has paid or lost even more money in the time he has been gone that is not documented. They are things like grant applications he was working on but have not been followed up on, and a redistricting plan that the school district paid a consultant to complete but that Kadri said he would have drafted.
He also says he has spent "tens of thousands of dollars" fighting what he maintains are false accusations.
Ramos, who was not involved in the Kadri hearing, said legal fees expended in association with Kadri come from the legal services line item in the school budget and may cause the district to overspend this year, since most of the expenses were unplanned.
"We have built additional dollars into next year's legal fees line to help us meet any obligations," Ramos said by email.
Ramos will present a 2013-14 budget proposal to the school board on Monday.
While the budget has not changed in the past three years, added costs and dropping revenues are expected to add at least $3 million over the current year's expenses. According to discussion by the school board's finance subcommittee, contractual obligations have risen by more than $1 million, redistricting costs are estimated at $440,000 and at least $1 million in federal grant money has been lost.
"Our plan is to present a budget that reflects current year costs plus any additional expenses that are appropriate (such as contractual expenses and transportation expenses associated with redistricting)," Ramos said. "We will then outline potential cuts that bring the budget to a zero percent increase."

Huskers Too Hot for Boilermakers
Lincoln, Neb. - The No. 13 Nebraska women's tennis team (17-3, 6-0 Big Ten) defeated No. 19 Purdue (12-3, 4-2 Big Ten) on Friday with a score of 6-1 at the Nebraska Tennis Center.

The doubles point was decided at the No. 1 position in a nail-biter that resulted in a 8-5 victory for Nebraska's No. 11 Mary Weatherholt and Patricia Veresova over Purdue's No. 39 Krisztina Kapitany and Mara Schmidt to make the score 1-0.
Nebraska quickly pushed the lead to 2-0 in singles when No. 13 Mary Weatherholt knocked off Purdue's Lynda Xepoleas 6-2, 6-0 at the No. 1 position before fellow Husker Maggy Lehmicke defeated Boilermaker Krisztina Kapitany 6-1, 6-2 at the No. 5 spot to bump the margin to 3-0.
The Huskers sealed the team victory at the No. 2 position where Patricia Veresova edged out Purdue's Mara Schmidt 6-4, 6-3 making the team score 4-0. The match at the No. 4 position finished early resulting in a victory for Purdue's Tess Bernard-Feigenbaum over Nebraska's Janine Weinreich who retired in the second set at 7-5, 3-3 giving the Boilermakers a point at 4-1.
In the two remaining matches, Nebraska's Stefanie Weinstein narrowly defeated Purdue's Daniela Vidal 6-2, 7-6 (7-2) at the No. 3 position before the dual ended at the No. 6 spot where Nebraska's Maike Zeppernick defeated Purdue's Gisella Pere 6-2, 5-7, 1-0 (10-5) to finalize the match score at 6-1 for the Huskers.
The Huskers host No. 32 Indiana on Sunday, April 7 at 11 a.m. before they head to the state of Michigan next weekend to face Michigan on Saturday, April 13 at 11 a.m. in Ann Arbor, Mich. before playing Michigan State on Sunday, April 14 at noon in East Lansing, Mich.

Hochevar's cards had Rockies flavor09/14/2010 4:20 PM ET
By George Castle / Special to MLBPLAYERS.com
Pitcher Luke Hochevar had an interesting vantage point as a baseball card collector. He started his collection as a kid in Denver just before the Rockies began play as a franchise in 1993.
Hochevar, the Kansas City Royals' right-hander, noted his widespread tastes in a recent discussion about his collecting days with MLBPLAYERS.com:
MLBPLAYERS.com: Whom did you collect when you were growing up?
Luke Hochevar: I would go after the majority of my favorite players. At that time, I really liked the Oakland A's 'Bash Brothers,' although my favorite player was Cal Ripken Jr. Also John Smoltz, Greg Maddux. They were the players I liked to follow.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Did you collect teams?
Hochevar: I really didn't try to collect entire team sets, just the players I followed. The Braves were on TV all the time on TBS. The Rockies started. I got Vinny Castilla cards, EY [Eric Young], Andres Galarraga. More the hitters with Rockies, guys that people followed. We'd save up our $1.50, or whatever, to get a pack of cards. And if you ran across a rookie card, it was awesome.
MLBPLAYERS.com: You mentioned cost. Was their affordability another appeal of cards then?
Hochevar: Oh, yeah. As kids, you'd mow yards or make deals with your parents -- I'll keep my room clean for a week -- to get money for a pack of cards.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Did you trade cards?
Hochevar: You're always trading cards with your buddy. When you're doing it as a kid, you're not thinking, 'I'll trade you this card because it brings you money.' It's 'I'll trade you a card because it's what you like.' That was a lot of fun. Something you do on a rainy day. If you ran across a rookie card or one of your buddies had one, you might trade one of your good cards for a [top] rookie card.
MLBPLAYERS.com: When did you first appear on a card?
Hochevar: When I was in college [University of Tennessee], they made cards. I was on cards with the Burlington [Iowa] Bees. There was just one of me pitching. The rest were still shots. I was 23.
MLBPLAYERS.com: What's your favorite card?
Hochevar: I think there was one card when I was in the Futures Game -- it was pretty cool. I also like my Royals cards.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Were you on any 'mistake' cards?
Hochevar: Yeah. I think it was a picture of me with [teammate Brian] Bannister's name on it, or a picture of Bannister with my name on it. I think I have that card.

Arapahoe Road will be closed between 55th and 75th Streets for three straight nights beginning Sunday while crews demolish a railroad bridge that is set to be replaced as part of an ongoing roadway reconstruction project in the area.
The closures, announced by the Colorado Department of Transportation on Friday, will begin Sunday when the stretch of road will be shut down from 5 p.m. until 5 a.m. Monday. The roadway also will be closed between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. Monday into Tuesday and Tuesday into Wednesday, according to CDOT.
CDOT is directing motorists to use a detour consisting of 75th Street, Valmont Road and 55th Street during the demolition work and to plan for an additional 10 to 15 minutes of travel time.
Bus stops in the work zone will be closed each night and riders are advised to visit www.rtd-denver.com for revised bus schedules.
The work is part of CDOT's Colo. 7 reconstruction project which will widen the roadway in some areas and add a new multi-use path along much of it. The bridge must be replaced to accommodate the wider road, according to CDOT.

I'm throwing this out to see if I have a good conecpt here. I'm thinking of holding a tourney at Boneyard paintball in Plymouth WI that would be a mech vs electro tourney. there would be 8 mech teams and 8 electro teams. the mech teams would compete until there was a 1st 2nd and 3rd the electro teams doing the same then there would be one last game against the first place teams for bragging rights.
I think that this is an awesome idea and would love some all mag teams show.
I need some opinions:
1. Good idea?
2. 3 man or 5 man?
3. entry fee?
4. Prize? (I'm thinking cash payout)
5. What should I call it?
6. Should "RT effect" be limited to a BPS amount?
7. questions, comments, smart remarks?

"Foundations for 32 dwelling buildings (including 72 housing units) and the community building and Housing Authority management building have been poured in the Garfield Heights subdivision. Only one more building remains to be started in the second phase of the public housing project here, Director L.A. Daughtery said. Floors have been poured in 10 buildings (20 units) and prefabricated superstructures will go up as weather permits, Daughtery said. He said the weatherman had been cooperative so far and the project is proceeding on schedule. The entire project is scheduled for completion by Aug. 12 but Daughtery said it is hoped that the community building and the management offices will be finished before that time."

LONGMONT -- On Saturday, Longmont's Roosevelt Park once again turned out to be the place that families could head for, if they wanted a May day's offerings of food, musical and dance performances, and a variety of free handouts from booths by government agencies, nonprofit and community groups, businesses and religious organizations.
The occasion: Longmont's 11th annual version of Cinco de Mayo, a festival that originated as a commemoration of the Mexican militia's May 5, 1862, victory over French forces in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla.
It's also "a great way to kick off the spring," said Longmont festival co-chairman Louie Lopez.
Three days earlier, a storm blanketed Longmont with more than 7 inches of snow. But there were no drifts to be seen on Roosevelt Park's lawns Saturday morning.
"It's a beautiful day!" Lopez proclaimed.
Judging by the numbers of large ears of roasted corn on the cob that could be seen being waved by people who bought them at a stand inside the park pavilion, that -- along with tacos, pizzas and other foodstuffs -- were treats that drew many to the event.
"We came for the food," said Longmont's Sandra Orona, who brought her four children, ages 9 to 12, as well as her 6-month-old granddaughter.
A family who traveled all the way north from their Denver home to see the Longmont festival -- Sergio and Zulma Barraza and their 7-year-old daughter Karely, had two dressed-up Chihuahuas in tow, 11/2-year old Chito and his 11/2-year-old mate, Chita.
But the Barrazas said they weren't entering their dogs in the Longmont Cinco de Mayo's Chihuahua beauty contest -- the festival's annually popular fund-raising event hosted by the "I Have A Dream Foundation."
"We're just here to watch" Longmont's Cinco de Mayo, Sergio Barraza said. "We learned about it on TV."
Other attractions included the Touch of Price Car Club's third annual car show, where some of the featured vehicles actually were available to be bought.
Bob Cottrell of Commerce City, though, said that as of early Saturday afternoon, he hadn't gotten any takers for his offer to sell a vintage 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air -- equipped with a Power Glide transmission and having only about 52,000 original miles on its odometer -- for the $19,000 he was asking for the four-door sedan.
Boulder County Commissioner Deb Gardner took to the festival stage's microphone to urge people to volunteer to help with the Boulder County Latino History Project, which she said offers an opportunity to interview the county's elderly Latino residents and get them to share their stories -- "before they're gone" and before those recollections are lost.
Carmen Ramirez of the Latino History Project told Longmont Cinco de Mayo celebrants that "the Latino community has been here for generations," but "many times you won't find our histories in textbooks."
Long-time Longmont community activist Dan Benavidez, another of Saturday's festival-goers, said that 20 or 30 years ago, he wouldn't have thought Longmont would ever produce such large and diverse crowds to an event that's usually associated with people of Mexican heritage.
"It's amazing how far we've come," Benavidez said, "and how the Longmont community has come together."
Now, Benavidez said, "Longmont has one of the better fiestas of this kind in the whole state."
At least some Cinco de Mayo attendees also got reminders that Saturday's event won't be the community's only spring or summer attraction.
Mandi Larson, an Erie High School junior who's the 2013 Boulder County fair queen, and Malinda DeBell, a Colorado State University sophomore and former Boulder County 4-H member who is this year's county fair lady-in-waiting, were handing out invitations for people to join them at this year's Aug. 1-Aug. 11 county fair.
"We do support Hispanic Heritage," Larson said, and the handouts she and Bell were distributing on Saturday that this year's Boulder County Fair will include a Sunday, Aug. 11, Hispanic Heritage Day.

A second person has died of injuries suffered last month when a freight train plowed into a transit bus at a railroad crossing in Evans City.
John D. Burkett, 88, of Zelienople died Saturday at the VNA Inpatient Hospice in Butler.
Burkett was one of 10 passengers aboard the Butler Area Rural Transit bus just after 8 a.m. April 26 when it was struck by the Allegheny Valley Railroad train at the crossing on Maple Avenue, authorities said.
All the passengers and the bus driver were hurt and taken to local and area hospitals.
Burkett and Claudette Miller, 91, of Callery were reported to have suffered the most serious injuries and both were immediately flown by medical helicopter to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh.
Miller died at the hospital of head and upper body injuries about four hours later.
Burkett remained in AGH's shock trauma unit for five days before being transferred to the VNA Inpatient Hospice. His cause of death was not immediately available.
A Harmony native, Burkett owned and operated his family's milk-hauling business for many years. He also had a long career at Mine Safety Appliances.
He served in the U.S. Army Corps during World War II.
He was married for 66 years to wife Mary Lou, who survives, as do the couple's three children.

A collection of rare propaganda short subjects:
SOMEONE TALKED: At a Nazi school for spies, the instructor teaches that American stupidity, and the Yankee inability to keep confidential information silent, will lead to victory for the German Reich.This cautionary tale was produced in an era when German wolfpacks were causing the loss of thousands of lives. Notable cast members include Richard Carlson, Frank Reicher and Morris Ankrum.
WE LIVE IN TWO WORLDS: This fascinating short subject was written and narrated by famed author J.B. Priestley ("The Old Dark House") in 1937, when the world stood on the brink of all-out global conflict. Priestley makes the argument that modern technology presents two choices to mankind. One of international trade, communication and cooperation, and the other, which tragically came to pass, of a World War that would lead to untold destruction and cost tens of millions of lives.
THE BIG PICTURE: This episode of the popular television series, produced by the U.S. Army, deals with the invasion of Normandy. How America solved the incredible logistical problems of moving vast amounts of men, machinery and supplies into position to invade Hitler's European fortress are shown. Featured is actual combat footage of the D-Day invasion, depicting the terrible price and the overwhelming victory won by American military might.
WHAT MAKES A BATTLE: The invasion of the Marshall Islands illustrates the requirements of sustaining our war effort. Gruesome combat footage shows the incredible courage and sacrifice of our American soldiers, required to dislodge and eliminate the tenacious Japanese defenders.

You don't have to go far to find something to do in Dover this weekend, especially if you want to warm up with a little music and a lot of dancing.
WHAT "Bye, Bye Birdie"
WHERE The Schwartz Center for the Arts, 226 S. State St., Dover
WHEN 7 p.m., Saturday and 2 p.m., Sunday
COST $8 in advance, $10 at the door
INFO www.schwartzcenter.com
This weekend, Polytech High School drama students will take over the stage at the Schwartz Center with the feel-good comedy classic, "Bye, Bye Birdie."
The production tells the story of a famous rock n' roll singer, who's facing induction into the army and the town of Sweet Apple, Ohio. The whole town, including the McAfee family, goes bananas when that singer, Conrad Birdie, comes to town to serenade one lucky fan. Kim McAfee wins the honor of receiving a kiss from Conrad and chaos ensues.
Eavan Caulfield, who portrays Mr. McAfee, said that he thinks audiences will enjoy the energy of the show as well as the music.
"I think people will love this one moment in one of my songs, 'Ed Sullivan,' where I just stop and scream, 'Ed, I love you!'" said Caufield. "My own favorite moment is this line that another actor has about getting looped from drinking milk."
Long time drama instructor Sharon Crossen said the students have all been working really hard and are looking forward to performing for a big audience at the Schwartz Center.
"They've been having so much fun reliving the '50s and they're putting tons of energy into this play," said Crossen. "I'm so excited for them to perform it and I'm really excited about a surprise that's in store for the actors. The whole performance is going to be a huge hit and I expect that the laughter that night will bring the house down."
WHAT Dancing with the Delaware Stars
WHERE Dover Downs Hotel & Casino, 1131 N. Dupont Highway, Dover
WHEN 8 p.m., Saturday
COST $40 for spectator tickets
INFO www.dancingdestars.org
Delaware's best and brightest will be in Dover this weekend, cutting a rug at "Dancing with the Delaware Stars," an event benefiting the Mom's House of Dover.
The competition is the Delaware version of the popular television show, "Dancing with the Stars." However, this adaptation features local celebrities and professional dancers. Eight non-dancers agreed to put themselves through the paces, including Dover's own Glenenise Parks, a state correctional officer.
"It's been going great," said Parks, who was paired up with Richard Normington, a professional dancer in Smyrna. "It's a really fun dance that we're working on. I can tell you that much but we're really trying to keep the routine a surprise."
Mom's House of Dover is a program that offers single parents the opportunity to continue their education by providing childcare services free of charge. Dancing with the Delaware Stars is one of the program's biggest fundraisers.
The night includes cocktails and dinner for $100 but those tickets have already sold out. Spectators can still come support the dancers, though, for $40.
People also have the opportunity to vote for Parks or any competing dancer by visiting www.dancingdestars.org. Each online vote requires a $1 donation but online votes count towards one-third of the dancers' total scores. The rest of the score will be comprised of the scores given out by the judges and attending guests.
For more information, visit www.dancingdestarts.org.
WHAT Bubba's for Boobies Fundraiser
WHERE Bubba's Rock Shack, 865 N. Dupont Highway, Dover
WHEN 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday
COST $5 to $10
Bubba's Rock Shack is getting serious this weekend. Well, sort-of. The drinks will still be flowing and the music will still be blaring but, this weekend, it will all be for a good cause: breast cancer awareness.
The party starts at 8 p.m. with drink specials all night, including $2 drinks until 10 p.m. Bubba's owner Charlie Lyon said that the drinks are just the beginning.
"The Magic of Guido will be walking around doing tricks and demonstrating that the hand is quicker than the eye," Lyon said. "His magic is something to be seen and he always leaves everyone wanting more."
And, Mike Hines and the Look as well as deejay Manny Mann plan to keep "the shack" rocking all night.
"Mike Hines and the Look is the ultimate party band. They are a six-piece group that always gets the crowd involved," Lyon said. "But, the fundraiser is really due to deejay Manny. He's very passionate about it."
It's a passion that Mann doesn't deny. Three and a half years ago, just two weeks before tying the knot to the love of his live, Mann and his beloved learned that his wife, Debbie,had breast cancer.
"With the help of her doctors and support from friends and family, she is currently cancer free," Mann said. "But, my wife is not the only person I know who has been victimized by this terrible disease. With today's technology, we are closer than ever to a cure, which means every effort counts."
Proceeds will benefit the Helen F. Graham Center at Christiana Care Center in Newark.

A 41-year-old Boulder woman died, three others were injured and the victim's husband was cited after the car they were traveling in rolled off Interstate 70 near Eagle on Saturday, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
At about 3 p.m. Saturday, a gray Volvo carrying all four people was driving west on I-70 when it drove off the left side of the road into the center median and rolled onto its roof, State Patrol Trooper Nate Reid said.
The female passenger, Nova Arjana, was transported to Vail Valley Medical Center, were she died from her injuries.
A male passenger, Haris Ichwan, 40, of Bellevue, Wash., was taken to Vail Valley Medical Center and then airlifted to Denver Health Medical Center in serious but stable condition.
The driver, Bayu Arjana, 37, the victim's husband, suffered moderate injuries and was treated at Vail Valley Medical Center. The couple's 8-year-old son was in the car but suffered only minor injuries.
All four people were wearing seatbelts, and drugs and alcohol are not believed to be factors in the crash, according to Reid.
Bayu Arjana, who was cited for careless driving after the accident, on Wednesday recounted the events leading up to the crash. He said he was driving the group from Boulder to Basalt to visit a friend.
He said his wife was in the back seat with their son and, as he went to turn the radio on, she asked him to leave it off so she could sleep. He complied but said he started feeling drowsy himself, even as he talked to his friend in the passenger seat. He said the next thing he knew, he was hanging from his seatbelt in an upside-down car with people outside the vehicle screaming.
Arjana said it wasn't until he had been treated and asked about his wife at the hospital that doctors told him she was going to die as a result of her injuries.
He became emotional when he described going into her hospital room to see her one last time.
"It was just so many tubes in her mouth," he said. "They were trying to save her as hard as they could."
Arjana -- who works on the catering staff at the St. Julien Hotel and also as a custodian at Boulder Community Hospital's Mapleton Center -- said he and he wife met in 1995 in his native Indonesia. He described her as a warm, caring person with an unfailingly optimistic outlook on life.
"Oh my God, she was the friendliest person you could meet," he said. "She can meet a stranger and in three minutes, become friends. She just had an open heart for everybody."
Arjana said his wife was a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty in Boulder and was also home-schooling their son.
With most of his family living in Indonesia, Arjana credited his in-laws and the Boulder community for supporting him in the aftermath of his wife's death. The tragedy left him with one piece of advice he wants to impart to all drivers.
"Please, if you're tired, you know, please pull over and take a rest," he said. "Please don't drive."
A memorial service for Nova Arjana will be from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Arjana family home, 3275 19th St.

The best I have had. We made this with garlic, red pepper, olive oil and added pesto, shrimp and scallops. YUM!

We tried this with the clam recipe that Avanti provides on the site. The pairing was just amazing and if you close your eyes you almost feel like you are on the beach. Oh, and FYI make sure you let your clams de-sand themselves long enough otherwise you will get the displeasure of tasting the beach as well.
