It's been a long time growing for the shag-a-licious Tom Brady, whose bad hair days just won't go away thanks to his increasingly long locks. So why won't the handsome quarterback cut his hair? His supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen. "You'll have to speak to my wife about that," demurred the New England Patriot when he was asked by Massachusetts radio jock Greg Hill if there was anything he could personally do to get Brady to chop his hair, reports the

. The two-time Super Bowl MVP first debuted his Justin Bieber-esque 'do back in June at the NBA Finals. And just like one of the hit singles from the 16-year-old pop star, Brady's bowl cut has stuck, much to the dismay of his female and male fans alike. However, the football star did get the ultimate approval – from someone else besides wife Bündchen: "Nice haircut, Brady," Bieber, the hair extraordinaire himself, relayed to the

(BAC) Less Worrisome Earnings Help Market
Stocks have help up quite well in recent days despite the continued run of soft economic readings and lack of visibility on the QE question. Expectations for second quarter GDP growth coming out next week have been steadily coming down in recent days and currently stand below 1.5%, with quite a few forecasts significantly lower than that.
What seems to be keeping investors reassured is the second quarter earnings season, which has turned out to be a lot less worrisome than many suspected just a few days ago. Expectations had come down sharply as this quarter's busy pre-announcement season painted a dark picture for corporate earnings, particularly given all the global growth questions swirling around. But the actual results have turned out to be quite decent – not strong or good, but not bad either. And that has to count as a positive in these otherwise grim times.
Results from the 120 companies in the S&P 500 companies as of this morning provide us with a good enough basis to draw the preliminary conclusion that the second quarter earnings season may not be materially different from what we saw in the last two quarters.
Total earnings for these 120 companies are up 17% from the same period last year, primarily due to strong results from the large banks in general and Bank of America (BAC) in particular. This compares to 7.7% growth for these same companies in the first quarter, when banks didn't have such easy comparisons.
Approximately 67% of all companies are coming out with positive earnings surprises, with a median surprise of 2.5%. These same companies did a lot better in the first quarter, when 84% beat expectations and the median surprise was 4.6%. Excluding Finance, total earnings growth is a still respectable 4%, which compares to 6.4% in the first quarter.
And even though the reports thus far are weighted more towards Finance, a couple of conclusions can be safely drawn from the handful of bellwethers from other sectors that have reported. First, the global slowdown is making it difficult for revenue gains to come by. And second, the dollar strength is proving a key headwind for companies that have substantial international operations.
We have seen these two elements present in host of earnings reports, ranging from General Electric (GE) this morning and Microsoft (MSFT) after the close on Thursday to Intel (INTC) and IBM (IBM) the other day.

Each year for a period that can be as short as 3 weeks to as long as 2 months, depending on exactly when Mother Nature wakes up for good, the Raymond Fire Department deals with a dangerously dry situation in our wooded neighborhoods. Once the snow melts and before everything "greens up", the forest fire danger in town can be high. Here are some recommendations and reminders that can help you protect your property and our town.
* All open burning of brush requires a permit from the fire
department. Visit the fire station on 302 or the state website at
* Keep brush piles to be burned small and controllable. Add brush
from another pile more than 10 feet away. Do not light the entire
brush pile at one time.
* Never burn construction debris, painted wood, pressure treated wood
or plastics.
* Never leave a brush pile burning unattended, even if you have
received a permit. This is a violation of state and local laws and
you will be cited.
* Always have hand tools and a garden hose or other source of
extinguishing the fire available. Fully extinguish all fires,
including camp fires, before leaving them. All it takes is one ember!
* Never burn during high winds. The Raymond Fire Department will
determine daily if the forecast winds are too high to allow burning.
* Always follow the recommendations of the Maine Forest Service Forest
Wild Fire Danger reports.
The Maine Forest Service recommends a 30 foot defensible buffer between your house and the forest. Clear all debris and undergrowth around your house and other structures to help defend your property against the potential damage or loss of a wild fire. Trim all tree branches that overhang the roofs.
Enjoy the coming spring weather, and be careful with your spring cleanup activities. Especially if you plan to burn brush or leaves. If you have any questions regarding burning activities or fire prevention please contact the Fire Prevention office at the Fire Department.
Lt. David Mains
Fire Inspector/Fire Prevention Officer

CATHY VS. MARC: For those wondering where Cathy Horyn was during the Marc Jacobs show on Friday, her On the Runway blog explains it all. Unlike some editors who missed the show since it unexpectedly started almost on time, it turns out Horyn became ill Friday and passed her reporting duties to colleague Eric Wilson. But he didn't get the last word. Using the wonders of the Web, Horyn viewed the collection online and mused about it on her blog. "I've looked at the MJ show on Style.com and can see why some people found it a little slack," she wrote on Monday. "I like Jacobs' sportive take on casual dressing, a category that has been stuck in neutral for awhile (too girlie, too Marni, too high-low, etc.). I don't know if Jacobs intended to focus on casual, especially on trousers and tops, but I like the direction here."
She subsequently received comments from her readers — as well as from Jacobs himself. Jacobs wrote: "Dear Cathy….I wish you could have been at my show. I think it was a really good one. I am happy with it on every level. I deliberately stated I was uninspired this season as I have felt that talking about inspiration is so not the point to making and showing a collection. Inspiration is a catalyst. One is left with an interpretation of those thoughts. In a show context they are meant to 'say' something….I felt it necessary to allow the audience to say what they want, to see what they saw."
This story first appeared in the February 14, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Jacobs went on to say that he looks forward to the chance to speak to Horyn soon and had a message for those who didn't think the spring collection sold. "Perhaps they should check our figures before assuming such as fact. I hope you are feeling better….All my best, Marc."
While it's not the first time he has appeared, Jacobs is the only designer to date who has posted his point of view and put his name on it, said Horyn. She hasn't replied to Jacobs yet, adding she'll see him in Paris, but said she appreciates the fact that he is up-front and always says what he thinks. — Amy Wicks
FIRST WORDS: "I'm First Lady while my husband's in office, and his wife until death," Carla Bruni declares in French magazine L'Express, granting her first interview since her Feb. 2 nuptials to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. "I'm Italian and I would not like to divorce." It's the model-turned-singer's first marriage, and her declarations stand out, given her fast-girl reputation. Bruni-Sarkozy is just discovering the political scene and says it's full of vital issues concerning people's lives, while art and fashion — her turf — are important "to the soul, the heart and for pleasure." The singer, who is recording her third album, will play her first official role at the end of March, when she'll accompany her husband for an official visit to the U.K., and she says she is eager to meet the Queen. The eight-page article includes several photos of her at home in Paris in several outfits: a white shirt, a sweater and slacks, and an evening gown. In the Q&A, France's First Lady is ebullient about her happiness and her husband's qualities, but gives few particulars regarding what she'll do with her new role. "I will do my best," she vows. — Chantal Goupil
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR…: For the first time, the Magazine Publishers of America has sought to count traffic on consumer magazine Web sites as a whole, hoping to shed light on the impact of a medium magazine publishers are still struggling to master. The MPA came up with the figure using numbers from Nielsen Online, narrowing the list to 320 sites associated with consumer magazine brands — a magazine's Web site, a multibrand site like Style.com, and the site of a magazine no longer publishing a print edition — and concluded that these sites averaged 67.5 million unique monthly visitors during the fourth quarter of 2007, 8.1 percent more than the same period in 2006.
Still, this number has its limits. Little information has been made public by magazine companies about how much revenue they are generating through their titles' Web sites, how much they're investing, and if anyone is even close to making any money. But on the heels of a rather grim newsstand story that showed tough times for single-copy magazine sales, it's no wonder the MPA wants to get some good news out.
MPA president Nina Link disputed the dismal view, pointing out that Mediamark Research Inc. audience numbers for magazines have grown five percent over the past five years. "When you consider that about 15 to 16 percent of the distribution of magazines is on the newsstand, you can't just look at the newsstand numbers," she said. "And there was a lot going on — the first half of 2007 was up, and in the second half, you were seeing things like people testing higher prices, leading to smaller sell-through but higher revenue."
As for the desired goal of growing a magazine's Web site, Link argued that in addition to increasing digital revenues, the sites increase brand awareness for magazines, help draw in a high-value audience, and will hopefully convince advertisers to take note. — Irin Carmon
HAIL TO THE KIDS: The publisher position at Teen Vogue has finally been filled after a flurry of Condé Nast executive changes in January sent former publisher Gina Sanders to Lucky.

She joined Vogue as advertising director for the beauty category in August 2005, and was previously vice president, publishing director of Reader's Digest. While there, she helped launch that company's newest launch, Every Day With Rachael Ray. — Stephanie D. Smith

Industrial production in the U.S. climbed for a second month in December, as the US equity futures continue their markedly bullish tone. MAR13 E-mini S&P 500 futures are climbing again, this morning trading up 2 points to 1467. We reiterate our view that this market will head to 1500 at some point in Q1. We think the 1500 level, if hit, might create psychological impetus for more investors to get on board with long positions because 1500 is a key psychological level. In terms of the global equity markets, today the biggest mover is the Nikkei index, with the futures trading down 185 points, or 1.7%. The Nikkei has suffered its biggest one-day fall in eight months after government ministers expressed concerns about the weak yen.
The oft-discussed precious metals markets are having a very quiet day today, with gold trading down $4 to $1,679, and silver is trading down just $0.11. There has not been much fundamental impetus to move gold this year. Gold has been essentially rallying for 10 straight years now, and 2013 is starting off the year in a very unexciting way for the gold market. $2,000 was a favorite target for many goldbugs, and if 2013 sees the global economy pick back up, we believe gold will head farther away from $2,000 rather than closer to it.
Soft commodities are mixed, with sugar trading down below its key pivot of $19. Sugar is down 1.13% today, trading at $0.1841. Conversely, Orange Juice and Cotton are both strong today, with OJ futures trading up (after a steep recent sell-off) 1.63% while cotton is trading up 1.61%. Cotton looks to be climbing off of its recent base at the 70 level and we see key resistance at 79.
We focus more in the crude oil futures market this morning. Even though we have seen so much news this year of a widening crude oil supply, crude has still found a way to rally. It tried to head lower in Q4, but ended up building a base at the $86 level, and now has rallied to $94. We don't see major fundamentals in place for a continued monster rally, but at the same time, from a trader's standpoint, crude looks to be climbing a wall of worry. We view the next key resistance level at $95. If it does keep rallying, we view the next congestion area at $98.

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. – The King University took to the road to take on regional rival Tusculum College as they tried to get back in the win column on Tuesday evening. However, the Pioneers jumped on the Tornado early and often, scoring 13 runs in the first three innings en route to the 16-3 victory.
Tusculum (8-5) opened the game with five runs in the bottom of the first inning. Their first run came on a bases loaded walk before Cody Andreychuk ripped a three-run double down the right field line. He later came in to score on a Chris Waylock double to give the Pioneers the early 5-0 lead.
The Tornado (3-12-1) threatened with a pair runners in the second inning, but they were both stranded before Tusculum struck for four more runs in the bottom of the frame. Scott Gibson drove in two with a single through the left side, and Andreychuck scored one with a sacrifice fly.
King got on the board in the third as J.D. Wallace ripped a two-out double down the right field line. He later scored on a Pioneer throwing error to pull King within 9-1. However, the Pioneers plated four more runs in the bottom of the third. Trey Drewery drove in a pair with a double to center field, and Gibson drove in two more with a single up the middle to stretch the lead to 13-1 after three innings.
In the fifth inning, Geoff Cieslewitz came up with a pair of runners on and ripped a double down the left field line to score both runners to make the score 13-3. Nevertheless, Tusculum plated a pair of runs in the fifth and another in the sixth to take the contest 16-3.
Wallace led the Tornado at the plate, going 3-for-4 while Cieslewitz drove in two runs.
King returns home on Saturday when they host Slippery Rock University in a doubleheader that is scheduled to start at 12:00 p.m. The three game set concludes on Sunday at 3:00 p.m.

Blistering speeds, superior stealth capability, unmatched power and flexibility. The F-35 Lightning II captures the cutting-edge technology of tomorrow. The lucky few who will fly and maintain these 5th generation strike fighters will first have to master the necessary skills. Lockheed Martin recognizes that the students in need of training are just as complex as the machines themselves. These pilots and maintainers require a training solution that encompasses every aspect of their education.
The F-35 Lightning II Pilot and Maintenance Training systems are designed to blend together a variety of training media to create a total training solution for the state-of-the-art F-35 weapon system. The Integrated Training Center (ITC) at the 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin AFB, Fla., is home to a full-spectrum of the latest courseware, electronic classrooms, simulators, flight events and event-based maintenance training. A balance of skill and knowledge training are woven in to the program with innovative interactive courseware, desktop simulators and high-fidelity training devices.
Pilot Training System
High-fidelity full mission simulators
Interactive courseware
Desktop pilot training aids
Mission rehearsal trainers
Training activity at the base continues to accelerate. Air Force and Marine Corps airmen have flown hundreds of training sorties since their first flight in 2011. They continue to fly daily to bring the F-35A, the Air Force's conventional landing and take-off variant (CTOL), F-35B, the Marine Corps' short take-off vertical landing (STOVL) variant, and F-35C, the Navy's carrier variant (CV), closer to combat operations.
In all of the simulators, F-35 software is used to give students the most realistic experience possible while accelerating the process for software upgrades as the F-35 continues to develop and mature. The training system also uses many legacy and commercial off-the-shelf software tools to increase the affordability of the total solution. Flexibility is fundamental to the design and is built-in to every element of the system, providing the ability to accommodate all three aircraft variants, all five US and UK services and eight international partner services.
Training doesn't stop after schoolhouse graduation; both pilots and maintainers will have the ability to remain in a continuous learning environment with access to all training courseware, applications and deployable training devices.
Throughout the F-35 Training System enterprise, the Training System Support Center (TSSC) will be used to manage and distribute training device baselines, update courseware and diagnose both student and system performance. These TSSC capabilities enable the training system to remain current with the aircraft's technology while incorporating the latest training technologies.

Justin Bieber to Guest on 'The Simpsons'
Lookout, Bart and Homer. Swag is on its way to Springfield.
'The Simpsons,' which closed its 23rd season with a Lady Gaga-centric episode, will feature the one and only Justin Bieber in a cameo as himself on an ep titled 'The Fabulous Faker Boy.' The cameo will air during the show's 24th season, which kicks off on Sept. 30 on FOX. It's a cameo, not a Bieber-themed ep, ladies. So the concept and plot will not revolve around The Biebs or his swag.
The Biebs tweeted "Just did a voice over for 'The Simpsons,' #swaggy," which has since been deleted from his busy and well-followed feed. However, executive producer Al Jean confirmed the news that the singer would be bringing the swag, swag, swag to the show. He also shared a detail about what the 'As Long as You Love Me' singer will be doing in Springfield instead of fraternizing with Marge and co.
"He tries to get into a talent show that Bart is playing piano in and they won't admit him. Draw your own conclusions," Jean told EW.
The producer continued, "It's a cameo, but all of his fans should watch every minute of the show, before and after he's on."
We love Jean's ploy to get Beliebers to invest in the entire show even though The Biebs' screen time is limited, unlike Gaga, who saw a complete episode dedicated to her, her clothes, her diamond tears and her impact on Lisa. Even so, all Beliebers should watch the entire ep of 'The Simpsons,' since it's the funniest show on TV.
'The Fabulous Faker Boy' won't air until 2013.

I've run into a strange issue with magma that I can't explain and I've never seen anything like it before. As best I can describe the issue is that if I write code that exclusively uses magma_dtrsm I get the correct result without issue however if I include any reference to other magma functions in the same code (even if the other magma function is not called) calls to magma_dtrsm result in a zero filled matrix.
To better illustrate this issue I've created a github gist (https://gist.github.com/2009450) with minimal sample code that exhibits this issue on my system. If I comment out the line containing magma_dpotrs_gpu I get the correct result from magma_dtrsm however if the line is left uncommented I get a zero filled matrix. In both cases the function containing the magma_dpotrs_gpu call is never called so I have no idea why this should affect the functionality of magma_dtrsm. Both v1 and v2 of cublasDtrsm function without issue in the exact same code. The issue is not unique to dpotrs as magma_dgetrs_gpu, magma_dgeqrs_gpu, and magma_dgesv_gpu also seem to cause the same issue (other functions may as well I have not tested more widely). This issue also appears to affect higher level functions that depend on dtrsm.
I am working on Ubuntu 11.10 with a Geforce GTX 460, nvidia drivers 295.20, magma 1.1, and atlas 3.8.4. If there is any other helpful information I have left out please let me know.

2) Hormonal deficiencies. Blood tests for hormonal deficiencies are very unreliable. The normal range often the only picks up late stage deficiencies, and often is simply based on your not being on the lowest 2% of the population. Because of this (and for a number of other reasons) it is usually necessary, albeit controversial, to treat with thyroid, adrenal (very low dose cortef; DHEA), and ovarian and testicular hormones -- despite normal blood tests! These hormones have been found to be reasonably safe when used in low doses.
3) Unusual infections. The most important ones to treat exude sinusitis and nasal congestion – which are usually caused by fungal infections. Although the concept is controversial, fungal infections are one of the most common causes of chronic sinusitis and spastic colon. Avoiding sweets (stevia is OK) and taking Acidophilus Pearls (healthy milk bacteria –2 pearls twice a day for 5 months) can be very helpful. We usually also add prescription antifungals as well if chronic sinusitis or spastic colon are present.
4) Nutritional supplementation. Because the western diet has been highly processed, nutritional deficiencies are a common problem. The most important nutrients include: a) vitamins -- especially the B vitamins (most at 25-50 mg/day), vitamin B12 (50-3000mcg/day), and antioxidants (e.g. -- vitamin C and E). b) Minerals -- especially magnesium, zinc, and selenium and c) amino acids (proteins). To replace the 25 - 35 tablets that people needed to take, I developed a good tasting product that contains 50 key nutrients in 1 capsule and 1 scoop of a good tasting powder taken daily. It is called "Energy Revitalization System" by Enzymatic Therapy, and is available at health food stores or on my web site.
While you are treating the underlying causes of your muscle pain, many medications can also be used to prevent chronic tension headaches. Anti-depressants can help headache and other pains as well as depression. In one study comparing Elavil® 25 mg at bedtime with Remeron 30 mg at bedtime, both groups had less headaches but the Remeron® group had fewer side effects Both of these medications are likely to be more effective for tension headaches than Paxil 40 mg daily, which had only a mild effect. Overall though, I much prefer using the "SHIN protocol" to eliminate the underlying causes of your headaches.
What Can I Do for the Acute Pain?
Herbal remedies such as the End Pain formula, which contains willow bark, Boswellia, and cherry, can be very helpful for acute attacks as can the natural and prescription pain gels. Although the "End Pain" directions say to take 1-2 tablets, for acute pains 3-4 tablets at a time can be more helpful. Adding the muscle relaxant herbs found in the "Revitalizing Sleep Formula" can also be very helpful. A physical therapy technique called stretch and spray, which approximately 10 percent of physical therapists are familiar with, is also an excellent and pain free way to release your muscles and eliminate a tension headache. When the underlying metabolic (e.g. infections, sleep, nutritional and hormonal deficiencies) and structural factors have been treated, stretch and spray may result in permanent relief of the pain. In addition, there are, of course, the old standbys of chiropractic and body work. Unless the underlying metabolic causes are treated with the "SHIN protocol" and underlying structural problems are treated, relief from chiropractic and bodywork is likely to be short-lived – requiring repeated treatments. This is why I recommend combining metabolic and structural therapies. Over-the-counter remedies such as Tylenol® and Motrin®/Advil® can offer short-term relief. Other medications that can be quite helpful include Midrin® and Ultram®. I would begin with the natural therapies first, however, as I find that these are both more effective and much safer.

Bullets Over Prayers Lyrics
I put my head down. Cover my eyes with my hands. I can't believe. Are we all the world we live in? Are we all the world we are? We all make mistakes. We all fall apart. We're only human.
Confusion sets in. My first reaction- denial. Comfort me someone. Blanket me so I feel safe from this chain reaction. This experience will burden me to my grave. This is serious; it's bringing me to my knees. We got the news today. You are both gone. This is a bad dream. Tell me what went wrong. Family. Does this mean nothing anymore? I just wanted to let you know there is no malice in my heart. This will never be okay. You can't see tears fall in the dark.

Maryland governor featured speaker at NH Democrats' annual Flag Day DinnerStaff and Wire Reports
June 13. 2014 9:22PM
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley came to New Hampshire Friday afternoon for an appearance at a Democratic dinner where he talked about one of his favorite subjects: Baltimore's pivotal role in the War of 1812.
O'Malley, a Democrat, was the featured speaker at an annual Flag Day Dinner, hosted by the Manchester Democrats.
The event, aides say, provides an opportunity for O'Malley, a former Baltimore mayor, to recount the story of Francis Scott Key writing "The Star-Spangled Banner" after the British had been repelled and he saw the U.S. flag still flying over Fort McHenry. The story, as O'Malley typically tells it, is packed with pride for the people of the city he once led.
For O'Malley, who is preparing for a possible White House bid, the speech was the first of two scheduled appearances in early presidential nominating states within a week. Next Friday and Saturday, he plans to be in Iowa for state party events.
O'Malley has said he is moving ahead with preparations for a possible 2016 presidential bid and can't wait for Hillary Rodham Clinton to announce whether she is running — a decision not expected before the end of the year. Aides said O'Malley has made no decision about moving forward, however.
As he mulls his political future, O'Malley has become a regular on the Democratic speaking circuit, most often traveling to states where fellow party members are on the ballot in statewide races.
O'Malley was last in the Granite State in November for a Jefferson-Jackson dinner.
Aides said his return visit resulted from an invitation from Raymond Buckley, chairman of the state party in New Hampshire. Buckley was recently in Maryland, attending the Maryland Democratic Party's annual gala at which Gov. Maggie Hassan was the guest speaker.
Next weekend, O'Malley is scheduled to attend the Iowa Democratic Party's Hall of Fame celebration on June 20 and then be a speaker at the party's state convention the next day.
Aides say O'Malley's travel to Iowa will be his first time in the state since 2012, when he was the keynote speaker at U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin's annual steak fry fundraiser.

Maldonado hits grand slam, Brewers beat Padres 4-3
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Brewers manager Ron Roenicke played 10 rookies Tuesday night. One of them made quite a splash.
Martin Maldonado hit a grand slam to lead Milwaukee to a 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres.
''I thought we had a Nashville Sounds game,'' Maldonado said with a big smile, referring to the Brewers' Triple-A team in the Pacific Coast League.
Maldonado connected against Anthony Bass (2-8) in the third inning for his first career slam and eighth home run of the year. The backup catcher, whose playing time decreased in August when starter Jonathan Lucroy returned from a broken bone in his hand, was in a 1-for-16 slump when he delivered.
Maldonado said it was difficult to hit for power when not playing much.
''It is, especially when you only get to play once a week,'' he said. ''It's hard, but you have to keep doing your thing and working hard.''
Jim Henderson (1-2) pitched a perfect seventh for his first major league win. The right-hander pitched in 313 minor league games over 10 seasons before having his contract selected by the Brewers from Nashville on July 26 and making his big league debut that day.
Milwaukee starter Tyler Thornburg did not pitch the five innings needed to qualify for a win, and official scorer Tim O'Driscoll credited it to Henderson, who was pitching in his 35th career game.
Henderson did not realize he was credited with the win until talking to reporters after the game, and said he didn't save any memento.
''It was on the board there, and I thought it was false,'' he said.
John Axford worked the ninth for his 35th save in 44 chances, getting Logan Forsythe to ground out with a runner on third to end it.
''Got into trouble quick, but luckily got out of it,'' Axford said.
The Brewers started Thornburg and fellow rookies Norichika Aoki, Logan Schafer, Maldonado, Taylor Green, Jean Segura, Jeff Bianchi and Maldonado. Rookie Eric Farris pinch-hit and rookies Brandon Kintzler and Henderson pitched in relief.
''It's great when you can rest some guys that you need to rest,'' Roenicke said.
The Padres started Bass, who has been pitching in relief since returning from a shoulder injury in early September. He was limited to 60 pitches, and allowed only one hit and one walk in the first two innings, but ran into trouble as his pitch count climbed in the third.
With one out in a scoreless game, Aoki singled and stole second. Schafer struck out but Bass then issued consecutive walks to Ryan Braun and Travis Ishikawa.
Pitching coach Darren Balsley visited the mound, but Bass stayed in the game and Maldonado hit the right-hander's 56th pitch into the left-field bleachers to give Milwaukee a 4-0 lead.
''Physically, I felt fine,'' Bass said. ''It's one of those things where you have to execute a pitch in those situations and I didn't.''
Will Venable's RBI single scored Chase Headley in the fourth to pull San Diego to 4-1.
The Padres scored twice off reliever Manny Parra in the sixth to make it 4-3. Headley singled, moved to second on Yonder Alonso's walk and scored on pitch-hitter Jesus Guzman's single. Venable was hit by a pitch to load the bases, chasing Parra.
Pinch-hitter Yasmani Grandal's infield single off Kameron Loe scored Guzman to make it 4-3. Loe struck out pinch-hitter Carlos Quentin to leave the bases loaded.
The Brewers loaded the bases with one out in the seventh, but reliever Brad Boxberger got Schafer to pop out and Braun to strike out to end the threat.
NOTES: The Brewers scratched RHP Yovani Gallardo for Wednesday's start, opting to rest their ace instead of having him pitch in a meaningless game. Josh Stinson will start instead. ... Headley was selected NL player of the month for September. He won the award in August, too. ... Roenicke said before the game that the entire coaching staff would return in 2013. ... Roenicke said most of the starting position players likely would play in the season finale Wednesday.

RYAN Clarke has committed his future to Oxford United after signing a new contract yesterday.
The goalkeeper put pen to paper on a two-year deal, with the club having the option of an additional 12 months.
It represents a significant gesture for both parties, as Clarke will be 35 if the contract runs its full course.
The former Bristol Rovers stopper has made more than 200 appearances for United since joining in 2009 and is delighted to extend the stay.
He said: "I have been made to feel welcome ever since I first came through the door.
"The fans have been brilliant with me, and the club is ambitious and always looking to move forward. "I feel as though the next few years should be when I am in my prime as a goalkeeper and I am looking forward to those years being with Oxford.
"We are in a very strong position in the league and I want to be part of what is happening here."
Clarke, who admitted in November the lack of news about talks was playing on his mind, becomes the first of United's key players out of contract this summer to negotiate a deal.
This season has been an impressive return to form for the U's No 1, who was ruled out of the second half of the last campaign recovering from double shoulder surgery.
He has not missed a minute of competitive football since the summer and is a key part of the best defensive record in Sky Bet League Two.
The contract is timely, coming on the back of Tuesday night's man-of-the-match performance in the goalless draw at Exeter City.
It was the fourth successive clean sheet in the league, where Clarke has not been beaten for more than six hours.
U's chairman Ian Lenagan said: "Ryan worked very hard to come back from injury last season and has a great attitude. "He has improved year on year as a goalkeeper and he understands what the club is trying to build. "We are very pleased that he will be around to help us progress."

Irene Peek, 90 - February 11, 2009
Irene Elsie Peek, 90, of Cozad died Monday, Feb. 9, 2009, at Cozad.
A visitation was held Wednesday, Feb. 11, from 5-8 p.m. with family present at Blase-Strauser Memorial Chapel at Gothenburg.
Services will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 12, at the American Lutheran Church of Cozad with the Rev. Don Wilken officiating. Burial will take place at the Cozad Cemetery.
Peek was born Oct. 24, 1918, at Gilead to William A. and Ellen Christine (Neeman) Rauckmann, the younger of two children.
She was united in marriage to Chester "Chet" A. Peek on Jan. 27, 1940, at Colby, KS. To this union, two daughters were born.
Peek and her husband resided in Goodland, KS, until 1977, when they moved to Lexington to be near their children and grandchildren. Several years later, the couple moved to the new Cozad housing facility.
Her husband preceded her in death in 1990, and she continued to live at the housing facility until moving to assisted living. In July of 2008, she then moved to the Golden Living Center.
Peek was a member of the Cozad American Lutheran Church, the To Better You Club, and the 12th Street Birthday Club of Cozad.
She enjoyed playing cards and fishing with her husband, and being a talented quilter, made numerous baby blankets for all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, according to family members.
?Peek was preceded in death by: her parents, William and Ellen; her husband, Chester; brother, George.
?Survivors include: her two daughters—Goldie Souders of Parker, CO, and Jean (Mike) Critchfield of Cozad; grandchildren—Mike Souders of Tullahoma, TN, Teri (Dale) Tipton of Parker, Lisa (Kenard) Koetter and family—Ryan, Aaron and Kody of Ellinwood, KS, Kelly (John) Peden and family—Nicole, Nathan, Zach, Savannah and Jaiden of Cozad, and Kristi (Tim) Daum and family—Alyson, Brenleigh and Andrew of Limon, CO; a great-great-grandchild, Blake, son of Nicole Nelsen and Andrew Conroy.
Memorials are suggested to the American Lutheran Church of Cozad.

well it actually COULD work because of the shade from the many trees and also you can't forget the fact that it CONSTANTLY rains, even more than in Forks.
i think it would work really well, not only because of the shade of the trees but that there just aren't that many people to SEE them in the Amazon. (And wouldn't they hunt at night? I would assume that)

The Limits of Unlimited Data
Why Verizon's unlimited iPhone plan won't last.
When Verizon launched its version of the iPhone last week, the carrier offered one major advantage over AT&T—an unlimited data plan. Although Verizon hasn't yet disclosed the price of its iPhone plan, it generally charges customers $29.99 a month to use the Internet all they want. AT&T, meanwhile, did away with its unlimited plan last year. The carrier now offers two iPhone plans whose prices depend on how much data you consume —you can download 200 MB of stuff for $15 a month, and 2 GB for $25. (AT&T will let you keep the old $30 unlimited plan if you signed up for it before the rate change last summer.)
AT&T's decision now looks ahead of its time. The Washington Post reported late last year that every major carrier—including Verizon—is considering ditching flat-rate data plans on next-generation "4G" networks, which will allow for much faster download speeds. Over the next few years those networks will become the main way our smartphones connect to the Internet. So don't get too attached to all-you-can-consume, flat-rate mobile browsing, Verizon iPhone users. It won't be around for long.
And say hooray, too, because unlimited data plans deserve to die. Letting everyone use the Internet as often as they like for no extra charge is unfair to all but the data-hoggiest among us—and it's not even that great for those people, either. Why is it unfair? For one thing, unlimited plans are more expensive than pay-as-you-go plans for most people. That's because a carrier has to set the price of an unlimited plan high enough to make money from the few people who use the Internet like there's no tomorrow. But most of us aren't such heavy users. AT&T says that 65 percent of its smartphone customers consume less than 200 MB of broadband per month and 98 percent use less than 2 GB. This means that if AT&T offered only a $30 unlimited iPhone plan (as it once did, and as Verizon will soon do), the 65 percent of customers who can get by with a $15 plan—to say nothing of the 98 percent who'd be fine on the $25 plan—would be overpaying.
But it's not just that unlimited plans raise prices. They also ruin service. Imagine what would happen to your town's power grid if everyone paid a flat rate for electricity: You and your neighbors would set your thermostats really high in the winter and low in the summer, you'd keep your pool heated year-round, you'd switch to plug-in electric cars, and you'd never consider replacing your ancient, energy-hogging appliances. As a result, you'd suffer frequent brownouts, you'd curse your power company, and you'd all wish for a better way. Economists call this a tragedy of the commons, and it can happen on data networks just as easily as the power grid—faced with no marginal cost, it's in everyone's interest to use as much of the service as they can. When that happens, the network goes down for everyone.
Who do we blame when that happens? The carrier, of course. But even though all cell companies are furiously improving their infrastructure, they're bound to keep suffering outages if they maintain flat-rate plans. For the same reason that building more highways doesn't reduce traffic—it just persuades more people to drive, blocking all those new lanes—building better networks won't improve service if the scourge of the unlimited plan remains. Customers would surely respond to better networks by using their phones more often, and that would clog the networks once more.
Automobile traffic engineers have lately experimented with addressing this problem via "congestion pricing"—charging people for driving when the roads are clogged. That's a relatively new innovation on the road, but the concept isn't novel: Nearly every utility we consume—electricity, natural gas, water—imposes some kind of cap or usage charge. Even home broadband service is sold in tiers: People who don't use the Internet very much pay for low-speed service, while those of us who want to spend most of our time downloading high-definition movies pay more for much faster pipes. (The only successful service that I can think of that doesn't include either caps or usage fees is Netflix's streaming movie plan. That seems to work because there's a built-in cap: You can watch only so many second-tier movies a month before you give up. But as Netflix continues to sign bigger titles and its streaming costs rise, I bet it will begin to tier its streaming plans.)
Whenever I call for carriers to ditch unlimited plans, I get an earful from readers who think I'm asking for higher prices and/or excusing companies for their terrible service. I understand these concerns. Phone companies aren't known for their transparency; we all fear that adding variability to the bill will add complexity, too, and that we'll be opening ourselves up to all kinds of hidden fees. The main worry is "bill shock"—opening your statement at the end of the month to discover that you've racked up some enormous sum, just because you had no idea you were over your limit.
If you're worried about a world without unlimited plans, consider that it's been more than six months since AT&T imposed an iPhone usage cap, and so far the service is working really well. AT&T alerts you by text and e-mail when you're nearing your monthly cap, and surpassing the cap doesn't result in onerous fees. If you go over your 200 MB plan, AT&T charges you $15 for 200 more megabytes, and if you blow by the 2 GB plan, you're charged $10 for 1 GB more. Those are reasonable rates; indeed, because the prices feel so fair, I wonder if many people even notice that their plans are limited in any way. The caps are there, but in practice, AT&T's iPhone plan feels unlimited.
It's true that these fixed plans aren't "future-proof." As networks get faster and cell phones and apps get better, we'll all use the mobile Internet a lot more often; even if 200 MB is enough for you today, it will be too small next year. But service providers change their plans all the time as usage patterns and technologies change. In particular, as we move to 4G networks, I suspect that AT&T will ditch monthly caps and instead offer a range of speed tiers—a slow plan, middle plan, and fast plan. (Verizon says it plans to offer data caps on its 4G network, but its pricing is also bound to change as those 4G phones become more popular.)
I'd welcome that change. But whether carriers limit your plan by speed or by monthly bandwidth, the important thing is that they're limiting something, because offering unlimited use for a flat rate is madness: It's expensive, it's unfair to most of us, and it ruins the network.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended an Easter service and signed one of Australia's most significant Christian artifacts on Sunday. The royal couple attended the service at St. Andrew's Cathedral in the heart of Sydney.
"Looking elegant in a dove grey Alexander McQueen coat with Jane Taylor hat, Kate and her husband, Prince William, attended morning service," reported the Daily Mail. "Kate's hair had been coiffed underneath her hat in an elegant half up, half down style."
Australia's ABC News said the couple would sign the Fleet Bible.
"Locked in a safe in Sydney's St. Philip's Church, the Fleet Bible has been signed by every monarch to visit Australia in the past century," ABC News explained. "Brought out in the First Fleet, the large leather-bound Bible is inscribed with the address of Botany Bay. It is believed to have been used by chaplain Richard Johnson to conduct the first Christian service in the colony."
Among those who have signed the Bible are Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales, and the Duke and Duchess of York.
Australia's Telegraph reported that nearly 1,000 people were waiting outside the cathedral for the royal couple to arrive but that "reflecting the serious religious nature of the ceremony, the royal couple entered St. Andrew's Cathedral without stopping to greet the crowds waiting for them" though Kate did wave in their direction.

SPARTANBURG, SC (WYFF) - A woman was injured after she stopped to help a man who had fallen near an Upstate hospital. Her car ended up running over both the woman and the man she was trying to help, according to Spartanburg Public Safety Capt. Regina Nowak.
Nowak said the man was leaving Spartanburg Regional Hospital and was near the outpatient area when he fell in the road Tuesday afternoon. When the woman stopped her car and got out to check on the man, the car rolled forward and ran over them.
The woman was stuck under the car and had to be extricated, Nowak said. The man and woman were taken into Spartanburg Regional for their injuries.
Nowak said that the woman suffered a broken hip and broken leg. She said the man had no obvious injuries.

Anthony Mackie — who appeared in last weekend's No. 1 film at the box office, "Real Steel," and the Oscar-winning "Million Dollar Baby" and "The Hurt Locker" — recently had an entire restaurant buzzing when he walked in for dinner. There were whispering customers, an autograph request and a free bottle of wine sent to his table, courtesy of the restaurant.
But the whispers eventually died down, and the bottle of wine was sent back.
"They sent over a bottle of wine and said 'Where's Will Smith? You are not Will Smith,'" Mackie recalled on the phone from Los Angeles, where he's filming "Gangster Squad" with his "Half Nelson" co-star Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn and Emma Stone.
Mackie obviously doesn't have the Fresh Prince's star power (not many actors do), but the Juilliard-trained actor has quietly built an impressive resume ever since he appeared as Eminem's rap-battle rival, Papa Doc, in "8 Mile."
"Nine times out of 10, it's all about who you surround yourself with," Mackie said. "When we were shooting 'Million Dollar Baby,' I thought 'This is going to be a good movie. It has Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman.' With 'Hurt Locker,' nobody thought there was any chance in hell it would get Oscar buzz."
On Saturday, Mackie will receive the Artistic Achievement Award at the Chicago International Film Festival's Black Perspectives Tribute at Chase Auditorium. Past honorees include Halle Berry, Morgan Freeman, Sidney Poitier, Spike Lee and Robert Townsend.
Mackie has been outspoken in past interviews about the lack of quality African-American films in recent years, and singled out Lee and Townsend as inspiration for young black filmmakers.
Hollywood is in a period of regression right now, Mackie said: "We're at a place where we need the next Robert Townsend. We need the next young filmmakers like Spike Lee or John Singleton to come along and show our world in a different light.
"It happened in music. It was all gang-banging and 'hoes' until Talib Kweli, Common and Kanye West came out and redefined the era of the conscious millennium rapper. I feel in film it has to be the same thing."
