Weiss finds day for Tulo, rests shortstop before trip
By Cody Ulm / MLB.com
DENVER -- Rockies manager Walt Weiss has had Thursday circled as an off-day for shortstop Troy Tulowitzki since the homestand began. But when the time came, he had to combat the urge to second-guess himself.
"A lot of times when you actually get to the day, you want to change your mind, but I try to fight against that," said Weiss. Weiss ultimately stuck to his wits, with the Rockies set to begin a six-game divisional road trip against the Giants and Dodgers on Friday. Weiss knew that if Tulowitzki didn't sit Thursday, he wouldn't get another rest day until the Rockies' next day off on June 19.
"We've been on the same page," said Weiss. "He wants to be out there every day, especially now that he's healthy. It's my responsibility to take care of him."
Tulowitzki, the National League's leading All-Star vote-getter, has been exceptionally healthy this season after battling injuries throughout his nine-year Major League career. Weiss, a former Major League shortstop who dealt with leg injuries later in his career, says Tulowitzki has been receptive to his maintenance program.
"Tulo has definitely bought into that concept," said Weiss. "He has been very mature about it."
Weiss last rested Tulowitzki on May 28 against the Phillies, six games into their nine-game road trip. Tulowitzki ended up pinch-hitting for right-hander Matt Belisle in the seventh and remained in the 2-2 game for defensive purposes. Weiss said Tulowitzki would be available for the same purposes Thursday, but he'd prefer not to do that again.
"Ideally, we go out and win by seven, Tulo gets to cheer for nine innings then we get on a plane," said Weiss.
Rox go above slot to sign sixth-rounder George
COLORADO -- The Rockies were able to persuade local shortstop and sixth-round Draft pick Max George to forego college and sign a bonus Thursday, MLB.com has learned. And all it took was a little extra cash.
George had already signed his letter of intent with Oregon State, but the Rockies' offer of $620,000, well above his slot value of $259,200, proved to be too much to turn down.
The Rockies were able to accomplish this after saving money on left-hander Kyle Freeland, their eighth overall selection in the First-Year Player Draft. Despite his slot value of $3,190,800, the Denver native signed for $2.3 million following some health concerns stemming from his high school medical reports.
Ryan Castellani, the No. 48 overall pick in the Draft, is also close to signing for his slot value of $1,158,000, according to a Major League source. The right-hander registered 55 strikeouts in 50 innings during his senior year at Brophy Prep in Arizona.
George hit .458 with three home runs and 24 RBIs while leading Aurora's Regis Jesuit High School to the final round of the Class 5A Championship Series. The Raiders lost there, but that didn't stop George from being named Colorado's Gatorade Player of the Year.
This past year was George's first full season playing shortstop. For most of his career, George has been a second baseman, a position he played next to Brody Weiss, son of Rockies manager Walt Weiss, at Regis Jesuit two seasons ago. Weiss also coached George for one season at Regis Jesuit before being hired by the Rockies.
Arenado progressing, but upset he'll miss big series
DENVER -- With the Braves in town, third baseman Nolan Arenado has been forced to watch the Rockies lose two of their first three to the team he fractured his left middle finger against nearly three weeks ago.
But it's the series that preceded and the series that's coming that has him most dismayed to miss.
"I was more upset about the Dodgers series than anything," said Arenado. "We're going to [San Francisco] for a weekend series, and that's a series I really want to be in."
Arenado won't be ready though, as his finger will not be reevaluated until the Rockies return from their six-game road trip on June 19. If Arenado's X-rays show the finger to be healed at that point, the Rockies will accelerate his rehabilitation, with a Minor League rehab assignment still in play.
At the moment, Arenado has no complaints about how his finger is progressing.
"I think it's healing great," said Arenado. "It's feeling better, I'm starting to move it a little bit and it doesn't hurt. There's no pain anymore."
Arenado was given a 4-6 week timetable after it was determined his finger wouldn't require surgery. As of late, the high-energy National League Gold Glove Award winner has been running, lifting, throwing, participating in agility drills as well as some top-hand hitting drills.
"I see him running around the field," said manager Walt Weiss. "He's getting fairly close."
Rockies lose Pacheco to D-backs on waivers
DENVER -- The Rockies had their fingers crossed that they'd be able to hold onto catcher Jordan Pacheco when they designated him for assignment eight days ago.
On Thursday, the rival D-backs squashed that dream by claiming Pacheco, two days before he was set to clear waivers.
Pacheco was first shuffled away to make room for right-hander Eddie Butler on the 40-man roster. The catcher was hitting .236 with eight RBIs in 72 at-bats this season, as he struggled to find playing time behind Wilin Rosario.
Beyond playing behind the plate, the Rockies had tinkered with Pacheco at first, second and third base since he led all National League rookies with a batting average of .309 in 2012.
The D-backs will be hoping Pacheco can rediscover the stroke from his breakout campaign, and they could experiment with him at either corner-outfield position. The D-backs designated first baseman Nick Evans for assignment in a corresponding move.

Ford F-250 Owners
mossrocker Posts: 2I'm considering buying a 2004 with 93K miles, what do I need to look for as far as negative issues? Anything about this truck that would cause a problem with pulling a 15K lb. fifth wheel? It has a upgraded suspension, not sure if it's an addition of a leaf spring or bagged. The current owner says he pulled a 16K lb fifth wheel with no problem, looking for verification.
luvlaughlin Posts: 4We are original owners to a 2005 F250 6.0 powerstroke and it has been nothing but problems. We are at 92600 miles and just replaced the fuel injection control module. We had a diesel leak November 2011, took 2 attempts for Ford to fix it right. Other problems we've had: Check engine light, engine overheating/when towing (instrument cluster, trailer/tow module), a/c intermittently works (vacuum motor replaced once - this took until 12/2008 to get fixed - broken since purchase 11/2004), surges at idle (failed seal), tow haul would not work (open circuts in shift handle, shift handle replaced twice), EGR replaced once (hydrolocked the engine - nightmare - loss of power, turbo whined like crazy, tons of white smoke through the exhaust), oil cooler replaced once, horn and airbag assembly replaced once (century warranty does not cover airbag assembly - expensive out of pocket for that one!), multiple sensors replaced, fuel injection control module.
All I can suggest is that if you are dead set on a Ford 6.0 Diesel that you purchase an extended warranty. You will need it. We absolutely love the truck and it tows great, it's just the 6.0 powerstroke that is a total :lemon:
Good luck!
tcwetherill Posts: 1I had the very same problem from my used 2006 F-250 6.0 Diesel which had brand new tires on it when I bought it in 2009. Turns out the tires where not the correct load range for the truck. I put new "E" load range tires on the truck aired up to 75 psi and had it aligned. That fixed the truck and has remained so for 3 years now.
syko13 Posts: 1Hello...did you ever fix the steering problem? I have a 2002 F250 super duty that is hard to turn the steering wheel. Someone told me that the (rack and pinion (?) steering cylinder may not receive the fluid from the pump. Not sure if that was a true statement but, the fluid level is good and the pump still seems to still be working fine.

ckn49 Posts: 1My 1994 Ford F250 (diesel) with 160,000 miles has the overdrive light on the end of shifter flashing & the transmission seems to shift "harder". The manual says to contact dealer when light flashes. What gives?
Is there an overdrive module located on the transmission I could check or am I looking @ big bucks for repair? Thanks for any help.
bimmer540i1 Posts: 1Job #1 is a thorough cleaning of the engine compartment. Any thoughts about how to go about this? The truck has about 1/4 inch of gunk on the lower half of the engine and onto the transmission. Not looking to make it like new, but looking to make it like not dirty. Last time I got a fuel leak, brake cleaner worked really well to get alot of this off.
How about the rest of the compartment. Suggestions on getting it really clean?
hutchesonjim Posts: 1hey did u ever figure out ur overdrive light flashing mine doing the same thing, it does not do it all the time and when it does the tack don't work nor will it shift right need some help
pmcginnis Posts: 1I just purchased a 2013 F-250 Super Duty 6.7L diesel. It has approx. 7500 miles on it. It's currently back at the Ford dealer for the second time for the same problem.
The engine will start to go into exhaust regeneration. Then upon acceleration the engine will start to cut out and lose power. I have to pull over to the side of the road and shut the engine off. After restart it runs fine. This has happened on four separate occasions. The techs at the dealership have test driven my truck and experienced the same problem. They have driven the truck over 200 miles with a laptop computer connected to the primary computer module to collect data but have yet to figure out what's causing the engine to cut out and lose power.
I used to add Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement but have since switched to Ford Power Stroke Cetane Booster and Performance Improver. I also installed a Volant Cold Air Intake filter on the truck.
Has anyone experienced similar problems with a new 2013 F-250 Super Duty. The dealership techs are stumped and they are calling in an expert from Ford to look at my truck.
im looking to buy my second ford F250, and i see alot of comments on getting diesels, i was staying away from that due to cost of gas prices would really hurt my wallet, but seeing how they go far and better mileage, does anyone have some really good advice on what i should really be looking at? (ill be using it as a work, sometimes plow truck, live near columbus so thats a must to me) any advice would be wonderful! thanks!

I'd look at the mileage numbers of the diesel vs regular gas mileage. It might be a wash as far as cost per mile. You could also use the True Cost To Own calculator to compare models

I did look into that, however, it does not show past 2008, im in my late teens, so im limited to pre-2005 trucks just due to cash. But thank you for the advice!
KCRam Mt. Arlington NJPosts: 3,516
If you're looking at pre-2005, make sure you get a 7.3L diesel... they were extremely reliable compared to the 6.0L that was introduced for 2003.
Alright ill look at that, Thanks.
I've heard that the 5.4L V8 wasnt a great engine as well, does anyone know about that?
popsiclepete Posts: 1First time for me on this blog. I drove an F250 diesel for the first time on Saturday. Sweet! It was a 2004 with 148k miles on it. 4x4. One owner whose name I am in the process of trying to get so I can talk to him about it. I'm guessing it was not a lemon for him since he drove it for 10 years but I'll find out when I talk to him. The used car dealer is asking $13000 for it which is in the KBB ball park..I want to eventually use it to tow a 5th wheel which I don't own yet. CarFax gives nothing on the service record. Hope the previous owner can. Reading the posts on this blog is pretty scary but there are a few positives for the F250 6.0L Diesel. How about a few more satisfied owners of that truck posting some comments if you're out there.

Rays shake things up in back end of bullpen
By Bill Chastain and David Adler / MLB.com
ST. PETERSBURG -- Grant Balfour allowed five earned runs in an inning for the second time in his career on Sunday -- and the second time this season.
Prior to Monday afternoon's game against the Mariners, Rays manager Joe Maddon informed the closer that the team was "going to go by committee right now."
"Just want him to understand I want to take a little bit off his plate right now," Maddon said, "and get him going in the right direction again. Here's one of the most consistent relievers over the last couple of years in the big leagues, but it just hasn't been working. Just hasn't been working yet. But it will.
"Right now, I just want to back off a little bit. Take a little bit off of him. And, again, he could end up closing any game. We've done this in the past. If it plays out properly and he's there at the end of the game, he will close. But I just want the ability to utilize the whole bullpen and take a little bit off his plate right now."
Balfour allowed five earned runs in the ninth inning of the Rays' April 25 loss to the White Sox, when Jose Abreu topped it off with a walk-off grand slam. Sunday's five-run performance sat even worse with Balfour, because he felt like he had good stuff.
"The [White Sox game] was me not feeling well and not pitching well," Balfour said. "... But yesterday, I'm one pitch away from striking out the side, and I give up five runs.
"I felt really good yesterday. ... It was a frustrating day. You might have been standing here saying, 'You struck out the side on 10 pitches.' Because, honestly, that's how close it was. ... As crazy as it sounds, that's just how the game goes some time."
Balfour looked sharp striking out the first two batters he faced on Sunday. Maddon agreed that Balfour had good stuff.
"He came out and struck out the first two guys," Maddon said. "... So I felt, 'Here we go.' But again, I defend, he was throwing the ball -- I thought -- better. Just something's not clicking right now."
Maddon wants to be able to get Balfour "some successful moments" to get his confidence back. In the meantime, Juan Carlos Oviedo, Joel Peralta and Jake McGee could all get work late in games with the lead.
Guyer encouraged by X-ray results on thumb
ST. PETERSBURG -- Rays outfielder Brandon Guyer, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured left thumb, got his cast off on Monday. He had his thumb X-rayed again, and it did not show a fracture.
"I kind of assumed when they re-X-rayed it, it would still show the fracture on the X-ray, but that it would be something I could work through," Guyer said. "The fact that it didn't show that was a great surprise."
Guyer, who also broke a finger last year with Triple-A Durham, said his thumb was stiff from being in a cast for two weeks, but he felt a lot better than he thought he would.
"I guess I didn't even think I'd be able to move it like I am right now, or that the first day out of the cast I'd be able to do tee work, so the fact that I was able to do that was a good positive," Guyer said.
Guyer hit off a tee Monday, and he also caught with a glove for the first time. He said he plans to do front-toss hitting on Tuesday, with coach-pitch batting practice likely to follow on Wednesday.
Guyer said he does not have a timetable for his return to game action, saying only that he hoped his original goal of mid-June was still realistic and that a couple of rehab outings would be enough to get his timing back down.
For now, Guyer has medical tape to wear on his thumb when he plays or does drills, and a splint to wear when he sleeps.
"[Guyer's] finger seems to be healing well," manager Joe Maddon said. "[Head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield] was very encouraged by what they saw on the X-ray, whatever they took today, and that he can be doing some active stuff by this weekend."
Rays invite Seminole to The Trop
ST. PETERSBURG -- After losing 12 of 13 and looking to find answers, the Rays brought in some outside help to remedy the situation.
Bobby Henry, a Seminole Indian living in Tampa, Fla., was at Tropicana Field prior to Monday afternoon's game hoping to chase away any spirits that might be affecting the Rays' fortunes.
According to a 2012 story in the Seminole Tribune, Henry's business card "reads 'Rainmaker' and lets you know how to reach him if you need a canoe, a totem pole or a chickee hut built."
After touring the facility Monday, Henry offered his assessment of Tropicana Field.
"[The field is] not so bad when I walk around," Henry said. "We might [get the job done] the first [day] or second. ... It's not real bad. We just have to open up and let it out."
Tropicana Field just needs a little tweaking, according to Henry.
"We just have to believe in the Seminole way," Henry said. "The herbs and stuff. That's what I do. I was raised in the Everglades, gator area. Something like this, [with a] big roof like that, is something new for me."
At this point, Rays manager Joe Maddon is happy to get help for his team any way he can, so he embraced Henry.
"Wonderful man," Maddon said. "Really eager, bright eyes. Just had him walk around. I guess this guy made it rain in Tampa in the mid-'80s at some point. So he's got some supernatural powers. ... If it rains at the Trop, I'd be really impressed."
Because he is a Tampa resident, Henry wants to see the Rays do well, so he wants to get the team back on track. Though Henry expected to see immediate results, he allowed that he normally needs eight days to make a change.
"Let's see what happens," Henry said. "I told Joe that I'll come back and check it."

The Kanes and their 11-year-old daughter were all sickened by the flu at the same time. He developed pneumonia and spent more than three weeks in the hospital and a rehabilitation facility, she said.
This year's flu has killed 14 people in Santa Clara County and six in San Mateo County so far, according to county public-health officials. It has hit younger and middle-aged persons particularly hard, since they likely are too young to have built immunity from the last swine-flu epidemic, officials have said. The total number of California deaths from the swine flu is unknown, as state law only requires medical professionals to report deaths in persons ages 17 to 65.
Molly Kane said she wants the public to know how dangerous H1N1 can be.
"Oh my god, this was unlike any flu I've ever had. Just the phlegm I was coughing up. It was so thick, and you couldn't really bring it up, and you couldn't breathe if you couldn't bring it up. It was hell — it was really hell," she said.
That feature — a thick, green mucus that is hard to cough up — is what set the H1N1 flu apart from others, she said. Anyone who experiences such symptoms should see a doctor immediately.
Jeffrey Kane also had the flu, and it developed into pneumonia, during the 2012-13 flu season. He was underweight at the time he caught this year's flu, she said.
The family did not get flu shots this year, she added. Although he was ill, he did not immediately go to the doctor because the family did not have much money, and he didn't want to incur a higher insurance deductible, she said.
Instead, he thought he could ride it out as he always had.
"We miss him. He didn't have to die. If he had gotten his flu vaccine and we had seen a doctor immediately, he would not have died. He was trying to save us that cost, and he paid for it," Molly Kane said.
As she and her family try to pull together their lives after this sudden loss at the hands of a microbe, Molly Kane said she wants the word to spread about taking precautions against this disease and its power to kill.
She and her daughter are safeguarding their health by applying for insurance under the Affordable Care Act — aka, ObamaCare.
"It will really make a difference," she said.
Jeffrey Kane's sister, Linda Kane, said she is left with the memories of a brother she deeply loved. She did not want to focus on the what-ifs. Her brother was a private person, and she said she wants to honor his memory. When she posted an obituary for her brother on Palo Alto Online's Lasting Memories, the words did not come easily. She decided to mention that he died from H1N1, she said.
"At first I thought, 'It's nobody's business that he got sick and died,'" she said. But the flu's impact, and lingering questions that people who knew him would have, made her decide to write about H1N1, she said.
"People are sitting and watching TV and a reporter will say, 'There's been another flu death in Santa Clara County,'" she said.
But revealing that her brother died of the illness "makes it personal." Dying from the flu is not abstract, she said, adding that the loss of her only, younger brother is raw and real.
"He was my brother — the person you sat with in your pajamas on a rainy day; or the person you played cards with or ganged up with on your parents. I remember when he fell asleep on my lap in my arms.
"You may have seen him on the street or in the grocery store two weeks ago, and now he is gone. There's a ripple effect. This person had parents and cousins, and his cousins were a big deal to him. It is about the person and not about the thing that killed them," she said.
The good memories are helping her through the grief, she added.
"I don't think I have any special skills to get me through. Losing a sibling — losing your only sibling — it's very hard. Now I'm an only child," she said.

Banks lead Wall Street higher; cyclicals rally
US stocks rose today as data pointing to higher inflation lifted financial shares while high-growth tech names attracted renewed attention.
The S&P financial sector index was the day's biggest gainer, up 0.9 percent, though all cyclical sectors, which are tied to the pace of economic growth, outperformed for the day. E*Trade Financial was the S&P 500's top gainer, up 7.7 percent at $22, while Charles Schwab Corp climbed 5.5 percent to $27.30.
The Consumer Price Index rose 0.4 percent in May, the biggest gain in more than a year, pushing investors to sell some US government debt. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note shot up as high as 2.65 percent .
About 5.61 billion shares traded on all U.S. platforms, according to BATS exchange data, above the month-to-date average of 5.36 billion.
US crude futures fell 0.5 percent to settle at $106.36 a barrel after President Barack Obama considered options for military action in response to a Sunni militant onslaught in Iraq. Market participants are closely monitoring the violence there, worried that it could lead to high oil prices for an extended period. Exxon Mobil Corp fell 0.5 percent to $102.42.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 27.48 points or 0.16 percent, to end at 16,808.49. The S&P 500 gained 4.21 points or 0.22 percent, to 1,941.99. The Nasdaq Composite added 16.13 points or 0.37 percent, to 4,337.23.
European stock markets rose to claw back ground lost in previous sessions, as new signs of possible takeover activity pushed up major healthcare and pharmaceutical stocks.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index closed up 0.3 percent at 1,387.75 points, after falling in the last two sessions down from a 6-1/2 year high of 1,398.65 points reached earlier in June.
The euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index gained 0.4 percent to 3,275.33 points and Germany's DAX rose by the same margin to 9,920.32 points, having recently slipped from its June 10 record high of 10,033.74 points.
Healthcare stocks such as Novo Nordisk and its UK rival Shire added the most points to the FTSEurofirst 300.
Shire rose 3.5 percent after Reuters reported that the company had hired investment bank Citi as an adviser, expecting to receive takeover approaches following a wave of deals in the healthcare sector.

Moyano urges gov't to 'pay attention' after general strike
CGT Azopardo leader Hugo Moyano has called on the government to take note of a strong movilisation across Argentina, after unions affiliated to the Teamsters figure and gastronomic heavyweight Luis Barrionuevo caused widespread disruption in the City and across the country.
Speaking in the afternoon after work stoppages and roadblocks ground activity to a halt in the Capital, Moyano praised the high level of adherence to industrial measures.
"[The strike] occurred with massive observance. In many cases it was over 90, 95 and 98 percent in some places. It has been a very, very important day," the unionist underlined.
"We are interpreting what the people want expressed and that is clear, the anger people have, the disenchantment, due to the lack of answers from the national government."
"We are humbly asking the government to pay attention to what the people have expressed through this type of measure. Mrs President, pay attention to the people's message, leave pride, attitude and mistreatment to one side," Moyano further fired.
According to CGT labour confederation leader Juan Carlos Schmidt more than 1 million workers joined the general strike launched by anti-government unions, "paralyzing" activities across the country.
"First data show a strong strike turnout," Schmidt said during a press conference held earlier today, and affirmed pickets blocking main road access to Buenos Aires City have been called by "sectors" that are not part of the unions that launched today's walkout.
Schmidt, head of the CGT's dredging and buoy-laying union, pointed out that "more than 1 million workers have paralyzed activities" across the country and urged the federal government to show a "real" dialogue position to address workers' demands.
The general strike halted public transportation among other key services across the country.
Meanwhile, left-wing organizations set up pickets on the main access roads to Buenos Aires City.The Panamericana picket was only one of the more than 40 protests carried out by leftist groups. A gendarme resulted injured during clashes between protesters and the military police at the Panamericana highway.
The Oeste highway, the Pueyrredón Bridge, the Pompeya Bridge as wells as the Houssay Square in BA City were also hit by pickets and protests.
The walkout led by anti-Kirchnerites union leaders Hugo Moyano (CGT) and Luis Barrionuevo (CGT) and backed by CTA's Pablo Micheli, affected all train, bus and tubes services in the Argentine capital city.

Hampton would regularly send methamphetamine to South Dakota through the mail.
Hampton was arrested on Tuesday at his residence in Taft when federal agents and police executed a search warrant at the property.
This case was the product of an investigation by the Violent Crime Task Force which includes the Bakersfield Police Department, the Kern County Sheriff's Department, the Kern County Probation Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — It is the first murder to occur in Lakewood Ranch.
What Manatee County Sheriff's Office officials initially called a "suspicious death" was confirmed as a homicide Tuesday Jan. 10, following a Jan. 9 autopsy.
Ina Gross, 78, was found dead at 5:37 a.m. Jan. 9, in her garage in the 11000 block of Hyacinth Place in Riverwalk Hammock. Her son, Thomas Gross, discovered her body, a Sheriff's Office report states. Deputies arrived to find Ina Ross on the floor of her garage.
Investigators had not released any more details about the homicide — including cause of death — as of press time Tuesday.
The news rocked the ordinarily quiet Lakewood Ranch street, and neighbors remembered Ina Gross as a kind, caring person who loved her dog, Nicky.
"She was a lovely lady," neighbor Marc Soss said, adding Gross took her dog, Nicky, for a walk every day and regularly visited with neighbors. "She was friends with everybody."
Ina Gross was active in supporting local charities, and an active member of the Lakewood Ranch Dog Park. She also was involved at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, where she was a member of the Lifelong Learning Academy.
Her husband, Dr. Samuel Gross, died in August 2010, of cancer. Dr. Gross enjoyed a long career as a celebrated medical professor and researcher.
"She was a wonderful woman, and I'm going to miss her," said friend Crystal Rothhaar, who met Gross seven years ago at the Paw Park in Greenbrook. "She was a very no-nonsense woman. She had a great sense of humor. She was very sweet to everybody. She was always smiling and always laughing.
"Both she and her husband were such amazing people," Rothhaar said. "It's hard to believe something like this could happen to someone like her. The only consolation I can have in this whole thing is that they (Ina and Sam) are together again. It's really hard to believe."
Friend Cindy Morton agreed and recalled the couple's deep love for one another.
"Ina and Sam Gross were the 'happily-married, thrilled-every-day-to-be-with-you' couple," she said. "The Paw Park was their morning 'cup of coffee,' where sports and politics and love of dogs played out every morning. On Ina's birthday, Sam would hire a bagpiper to march up the field at Paw Park for her. He adored her and she him.
"She was an amazing woman with an opinion wrapped in clarity and honesty," Morton said. "Ina was a wonderful, caring woman. She was a dear friend for many years."
Neighbors also praised Gross as a person and expressed mixed feelings about the incident that took her life.
"It's definitely scary," one neighbor said, adding Gross regularly spoke with her children and even kept an eye out for strangers. "We think we live in a safe neighborhood. Now, I don't know."
Soss said he believes the incident is isolated. Hyacinth Place has many families who work from home and keep any eye out for suspicious activities, he said. In 10 years on the street, he's never gotten a ding on his car or a Halloween prank, he said.
"Everybody pretty much knows everybody in the neighborhood," he said.
In the wake of Ina Gross' murder, Manatee County Sheriff's Office Crime Prevention Deputy Alan Fifield said there are several steps Lakewood Ranch residents can take to increase security in the community.
"One of the most important items that would help the Sheriff's Office would be that the citizens report anything suspicious they see," Fifield said. "A lot of times, folks see things but are too busy or do not want to get involved, so they don't report it to us.
"Reporting suspicious activity and getting a patrol unit in the area can help greatly in stopping a potential crime from occurring," he said. "Even if we don't find anything, having that marked patrol car drive through a neighborhood will hopefully scare off any would be thieves, as well as simply provide an extra patrol through the neighborhood."
Furthermore, Fifield suggested a neighborhood watch program. Above all, he said, remember to use common sense in and around the home.
"(Residents) need to remember not to open their door to strangers and talk to them through a locked door while keeping their cell phone handy, in case they need to call 911 quickly," he said. "Home security systems are very good to have if they can afford them."
The Sheriff's Office also offers a free service in which a crime prevention practitioner will visit a home to conduct a security survey and offer suggestions to incre ase safety. To schedule a survey, call 747-3011, Ext 2500.

This guest post is from Leigh, who blogs at MyLifeBlessed.
Here is a quick and easy tutorial for a cute and simple dress for your little girl.
Here's what you will need:
- 22 " of Vday main fabric
- ¼ Yard of Coordinating fabric.
- 1 spool of coordinating ribbon
- 2 yards of pom pom trim
- a Heart cut out of cardstock
- matching thread ( I used white.)
- Measure said little girl around the chest. That is how many inches of the main fabric you will need wide and long. (my girl is 22 inches so I got 22 inches of fabric and 22 inches long)
- First lay out your main fabric the dress will be made out of. (most fabric will be 44/45 inches.) You should be able to just cut it in half and have your two pieces you will need.
- With the wrong side facing you, on the sides of the fabric you need to fold over twice and sew a straight stitch. (This will prevent fraying.) Make sure you back stitch at the beginning and end of each stitch.
Do this for all four sides.
- Then lay out the fabric so what will be the top is at the top with the wrong side facing up. Then get your ribbon and measure it 10 inches past the fabric on both sides. Do this so you have 2 ribbons, one for the front and one for the back.
- Place the ribbon on the fabric centered and fold the fabric over once and pin. (do this for both pieces of fabric) Then sew a straight stitch on the end of each side of the ribbon to prevent fraying.
- Turn your fabric Right side up and then sew a small stitch over the center of where your ribbon is. This will keep it in place and prevent it from coming out.
- This is what your fabric should look like now.
- Now put the 2 pieces of fabric together with the right sides facing each other. Now you have to leave room for arm holes. So measure down from the top 1/3 of the fabric. (my fabric was 22inches so I went down an even 7 inches). Then I pinned from there down, and sewed another straight stitch.
- Double fold the bottom hem, then pin and sew. Then turn right side out and pin and sew the pom pom trim over the stitch you just sewed. (This seems to be the easiest for beginners, but I just pinned and did both in one step. Do whatever is easier for you and your sewing machine.) Now, get your Coordinating fabric and trace and then cut out a heart shape. I didn't have any stabilizer at the moment, and always love my stiffener for quick projects. I just spread some of it on the heart and let it dry 5 minutes. This will stiffen it a tad and helps me with sewing it and looks better on the dress.
- Now, center the heart on the dress and pin in a couple of places just to hold it.
Now I prefer for my appliqués to look stitched on purpose so I use my double zig zag stitch. I start from the bottom of my heart and just stitch around the outside.
- YOU ARE DONE! I bet they all look so cute! The best thing about this dress is that it will probably fit your daughter for years. They will just turn into a shirt when they get taller. I would love to see some of your dresses! Please share.

The public hearing will occur at 5 p.m. at MTA Headquarters, 347 Madison Ave. Manhattan, in the Board Room on the 5th floor. Registration in person is available beginning at 4:30 p.m.
Under the proposal, LIRR would restore 32 weekend trains on the Port Washington Branch to provide half-hour service, effective with the November 11 schedule. Currently, trains operate hourly on the weekend. The Branch serves northeastern Queens and northern Nassau County.
As for the Ronkonkoma Branch, which traverses the middle of Long Island, the LIRR would extend weekend service to and from Greenport, on the island's North Fork, by approximately 10 weeks, providing service starting in April and extending into November of each year. Currently, weekend Greenport service runs from Memorial Day Weekend through Columbus Day Weekend, largely serving summer weekend and vacation travelers.
The Ronkonkoma Branch east of its namesake municipality, running roughly 36 miles, is served by diesel-hauled trains at far less frequent intervals than west of Ronkonkoma, on single track right-of-way with some sidings. Tentative proposals have been made to serve the branch with diesel multiple-unit (DMU) consists of one or two cars, but no orders have resulted.

Usually that kind of statement would include something like to scale to 64 Nodes. Often (but not always) it's harder to scale as the number of nodes increases. Infinipath has really low latency, as does Mellanox's ConnectX (if it's shipping), and Myrinet 10G. All better than the usual 10G numbers (that I've seen anyways). Is anyone else under 3.0 us? Of course if it only scales within a node then you want as many cores within the node. > - high per-CPU memory performance.

Even my $750 desktop from dell, lousy memory, 1.8 GHz cpu gets 4GB/sec at stream add and triad: Function Rate (MB/s) Avg time Min time Max time Add: 3945.7460 0.0124 0.0122 0.0126 Triad: 3951.5930 0.0124 0.0121 0.0129 You could do substantially better with a different compiler, CPU, or dimms.

I'd seen over 15GB/sec from a dual socket 8 core barcelona, if what they say is true (even 10G doesn't scale) it might be your best performance even if you can afford substantially less than 9 of them. Small vendors seem to be selling systems in the $2-3k range for reasonable dual socket configurations.

Q&A: Should I wait for the next iPhone to come out, or should I get the Samsung Galaxy S III?
The simple and easy answer would be yes, wait for the next version of the iPhone. But choices are rarely this simple. Although mobile technology makes our lives simpler and easier, it often comes with some big decisions (price, contract details, camera type, etc.).
Why shouldn't you wait for Apple's next latest and greatest device? Because with this rationale, you will be perpetually waiting for its next big thing. There will always be something sleeker, smarter and quicker around the corner. And speaking of something sleeker, smarter and quicker, let's take a closer look at Samsung's Galaxy S III.
The Galaxy S III could be considered the most impressive Android-based phone to date. It runs the most up-to-date Android operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich, and boasts a screen size of 4.8 inches. Throw in 4G connectivity and Near Field Communication (NFC) technology (which allows you to "bump" your phone with another NFC-enabled phone to exchange photos or certain data), and you've got yourself a pretty stellar mobile device.
Initial reviews of the Galaxy S III have been impressive. Although there has been a delay in the handsets reaching some markets, the rising demand may have actually added to the allure of getting one. After all, it's nice to get something that isn't at first available to everyone.
The Galaxy S III will provide you with access to more than 500,000 apps in the Google Play market, which should give you more than enough choices to be either super productive or blissfully slacker-ish, depending on the circumstances.
Apple's App Store still leads the way in terms of total number of apps (650,000), and the iPhone is generally considered more secure if you plan to incorporate your iPhone into your work life.
There's little doubt the Galaxy S III will provide a pleasant and speedy mobile experience, but let's face it – it's going up against the iPhone. This is no small task. After all, Apple brought both RIM's BlackBerry and Nokia to their knees in just a few short years.
Apple's iPhone can be likened to a hard-throwing major league pitcher. Apple just rears back and consistently throws 98 mph strikes. Hit it if you can, Apple seems to challenge.
So far, no one can touch the iPhone. As with any Apple release, the sixth-generation iPhone is surrounded by heavy rumor-mongering. The most recent as of this writing is that its release is being moved to August to compete with the larger-than-expected sales figures for the Galaxy S III.
I'd suggest waiting for the next iPhone, but here's comparison of the two as they stand now:
Apple iPhone 4S
Dimensions: 4.5 by 2.31 by 0.37 inches
Weight: 4.9 ounces
Display: 3.5-inch (on the diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display with a 960 by 640 pixel resolution.
Camera: 8 megapixels, HD video recording, LED flash, autofocus, VGA-quality front-facing camera, photo and video geotagging.
Operating System: iOS 5
Pricing and Capacity: 16GB for $199, 32GB for $299, 64GB for $399 (with two-year contract)
4G: No
NFC: No
Samsung Galaxy S III
Dimensions: 5.38 by 2.78 by 0.34 inches
Weight: 4.69 ounces
Display: 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED with a resolution of 1280 by 720
Camera: 8 megapixels, HD video recording, auto focus with flash and zero shutter lag, 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera with HD recording, zero shutter lag
Operating System: Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Pricing and Capacity: 16GB and 32GB versions are available; pricing varies by carrier, but most are selling the 16GB version for $199 with a two-year contract. Pricing varies more for the 32GB model. Sprint sells it for $249.99, T-Mobile for $329.99.
4G: Yes
NFC: Yes

It's still odd to me that the Cubs and White Sox face off on a Monday, usually it's a series reserved for a weekend in June, but not this year. The Cubs are looking avenge a sweep by the White Sox earlier this year at Wrigley which marked the beginning of the end of the 2012 season for the Cubs. The Cubs have been playing decent baseball of that but it's not resulting in wins, and ultimately that's what matters the most. Just ask the White Sox, who are getting their fair share of wins lately as they sit atop the AL Central. No one expected the White Sox to be where they are right now, but thanks to the Tigers struggling out of the gate that's where they sit. The Sox sit near the middle of the pack in runs scored and ERA in the American League, they are 6th in runs scored, and 8th in ERA. The Cubs have not had any success at US Cellular Field, losing nine of their last twelve games there. Full preview and breakdown after the jump.

Hi Aristotle
Thanx for replying.
I click on a post's '0 comments', and then on 'Sign in to comment.', and on 'Not a member? Sign Up!', and get a form to fill in.
So I fill it in a click 'Sign up', and it invariably echos the form with this at the top:

Ah yes, that damned error message. That's from the CAPTCHA, which silently fails to work for some reason we have yet to figure out. Can you try signing up for a regular site account from the front page?
Hi Aristotle
Yes, that worked. $many x $thanx;
Would it be possible to at least change the error msg to warn people the rejection of their input may be a 'system error' (say), to reduce frustration?
I don't know. I don't have shell access on the machine, and it's MovableType, so my assumption is that if it was easy we'd have done it already – but maybe it's just that no one has. I really can't say.
I shall relay.
Hi Aristotle
The procedure I went thru first did not offer a captcha. That's why I did not mention it.
The procedure available via the front page does. That's why it works (I'd say).

The following is live in game, up to the minute coverage of the rookie tournament game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators. Â Remember to refresh the page for the latest updates. Â Remember also to check out my Twitter for notes and pictures
1:25 PM: Both teams have taken to the ice for warmup. Â I am not breaking any news here, but Jared Cowen is towering in person. Â Also, Eric Tangradi looks like a pro amongst rookies out there.
1:30 PM: Penguins defenseman Reid McNeil, a London Knights player, just tripped on the ice during a drill, drawing a rousing response from teammates. Â Penguins look loose and confident as well.
1:36 PM: Three minutes and change left in warm up. Â Erik Condra wearing the "C" for the Senators. Â Looks like the Penguins went with all "A"'s. Â Tangradi among those players wearing an "A".
1:39 PM: Warm up is coming to a close as teams begin to exit the ice surface. Â This is the first time I have gotten a chance to see Senators defenseman Patrick Weircioch in person, and I tell you, I see what the bragging is about. Â Real smooth skater, looks to have a quick, accurate wrist shot as well.
Puck drop at 2 PM
1:52 PM: Game about ten minutes away from beginning. Â Crowd is somewhat small and scattered. Â Not a great turnout, not bad though either. Â Some Senators jerseys in the crowd. Â Lots of Penguins fans, especially young kids.
1:57 PM: Starting goalies are Lehner (Senators) and Theissen (Penguins)
2:03 PM: Anthems done. Â Puck drop time. Â Pens have a unit of Tangradi, Jeffrey, Kuehnhackl, on ice to start game. Â Sneep and Despres are the defense,
Update: Despres takes early penalty. Â Two for slashing. Â Sens have good pressure on powerplay, but Theissen is able to cover up for a whistle. Â Less than a minute into the game.
Update: Sens buzzing pretty good on powerplay. Â Weircioch and Hoffman have good speed on the rushes. Â Penguins have now successfully killed the penalty.
Update: Big collision by the net has a Penguins player down and injured. Â Pushing and shoving going on. Â Looks like Ryan Schnell down. Â Trainer is attending to him on the ice.
Update: The stretcher is being brought out, and I have not seen Schnell move since the collision.
Update: Very scary scene here. Â Not much movement from Schnell, and the EMT's are being very careful not to move him as they load him onto the stretcher.
Update: I didn't get a good look at the hit, but I believe Senators forward David Dziurzynski has picked up a five minute major on the play. Â EMT's still have not moved Schnell much to this point.
Update: As pointed out, my apologies. Â It is Alex Grant down for the Penguins, who still has not been moved by the way. Â Apologies. Â Hard to see the numbers from up here. Â Alex Grant of the Penguins is the player down, and the EMT's are just now beginning to lift him onto the stretcher
Update: Play has resumed. Â Grant has been taken off via stretcher. Â Will update with information as I receive it.
Update: Dziurzynski for Ottawa also received a game misconduct to go along with his five minute major on that hit.
Update: Hoffman gets a shorthanded breakaway after stealing the puck at the blueline. Â Snaps a quick shot that Theissen quickly snags. Â Just under three minutes left in the 5 minute major.
Update: Despres with a great job to knock the puck down at the line and create the scoring chance on the power play, but the Senators have cleared the zone.
Update: Senators successfully kill of the five minute major. Â Penguins had their chances, but couldn't sustain much pressure. Â Lehner not sharp for Ottawa as far as rebounds go, but he has been up to the task and in good position so far.
Update: Beauty goal for the Senators makes it 1-0. Â Cross ice pass knocked out of mid by Bobby Butler, who then gets in and slides it five hole past Theissen. Â Just over half of the period remains.
Update: Assists on the goal to Mike Hoffman and Patrick Weircioch. Â 1-0 Senators.
Update: Senators defenseman Eric Gryba goes to the box for delay of game. Â Penguins back to the power play.
Update: Senators kill off yet another penalty. Â Their PK units have bent, but not broke so far.
Update: Five minutes left in the first, still 1-0 Ottawa. Â Senators forward Mike Hoffman has been impressive. Â He has speed to burn.
Update: The Penguins covert on a nice two-on-one to tie the hockey game. Â Looks like Zach Sill converts the pass from Ryan Schnell. Â Game tied 1-1 with four minutes to go in the first.
Update: Sill from Schnell at 15:41 is the official scoring of the goal. Â All tied up here at the John Labatt Centre late in the first.
Update: Big scrum in front of the net as time expires. Â Tangradi involved. Â Looks like there may be a penalty coming. Â We'll wait and see on that. Â First period is in the books, the score is 1-1. Â The Penguins outshot the Senators 8-5. Â A decent period with some physical play and up and down action. Â Penguins have size in their lineup, and seem content to play the game down low.
Still no update on the injured Penguins player. Â If something comes across, be sure I will pass it along.
Update: Sitting beside a very nice gentleman in the press box who covers the Penguins for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (I believe.) Â He says Pens defenseman Alex Grant has been taken to the hospital for further observation. Â If the team passes anything along to him, I will certainly share the information.
Update: The puck has dropped on the second period. Â Eric Tangradi starts the period in the box for a cross checking penalty he picked up at the conclusion of the first period.
Update: Tangradi has returned to the ice as the Penguins kill of the penalty with little to no Senators pressure.
Update: Almost five minutes gone of the second period. Â Good pace to the period thus far.
Update: For those wondering, it looks like OHL officials calling the games in the tournament, which is a cool experience for them I am sure.
Update: Penguins pick up a slashing minor, and the Senators go to the powerplay.
Update: Penguins make it 2-1 on a nice goal by Dustin Jeffrey. Â Jeffrey uses his speed to beat the Senators defender in a one-on-one and then goes to the backhand to beat Lehner for the goal.
Update: Dustin Jeffrey scores the shorthanded goal, unassisted. Â 2-1 Penguins.
Update: Weircioch was burned a bit on the Jeffrey shorthanded goal. Â Tried to be too fancy killing the penalty, and Jeffrey pressured him to take the puck off his stick and move in.
Update: The Penguin take a 3-1 lead on a goal that was originally deflected in front. Â Looked like Lehner made the first save, but Alex Smigelski banged it home to give the Penguins a 3-1 lead. Â Shortly after the goal Ryan Schnell of the Penguins and Tim Spencer dropped the mitts. Â Good tussle, both landing a few quality shots each. Â 11 minutes to go in the second.
Update: Scoring on the Penguins third goal reads the goal to Smigelski, assists to Reid McNeil, and Tom Kuehnhackl.
Update: Lehner makes a strong save on a two-on-one which leads to a Senators chance the other way, but Theissen stands tall to keep the Penguins two goal advantage.
Update: A brief update on Alex Grant, the Penguins defenseman who was taken off on a stretcher early in the game. Â A Penguins rep has told the media box that he was conscious when he left for the hospital. Â No other word at this point.
Update: The Penguins take a 4-1 lead on a goal by Zach Sill who converted on a nice fake shot into a pass by Tangradi. Â Walker found himself alone in the slot and beat Lehner through traffic. Â Walker also picks up an assist on the goal.
Update: Senators on the powerplay and they set up immediately, Jared Cowen finds himself unmarked at the point, only to have his stick explode on the shot. Â Theissen has made a few good saves on the penalty kill.
Update: Theissen makes another big save as Weircioch shows great speed jumping into the rush and sliding the puck cross crease to Condra who is robbed on the door step. Â Just under six minutes left in the second.
Update: And the horn sounds to end the second period as more post period pushing and shoving ensues. Â Penguins up 4-1 after two. Â Pens also outshoot the Sens 19-17.
Update: Third period about to get under way. Â Lehner for the Senators has not been spectacular, but his defense have made some bad decisions in this game.
Update: First two minutes of the third are in the books and have gone by with little incident. Â Slow start to the period.
Update: Penguins have taken another penalty, giving Ottawa the powerplay. Â Right before the penalty is called, Pens forward Alex Smigelski tried to hit Jared Cowen. Â It looked like he ran head first into a concrete wall.
Update: Kevin Veilleux gets credit for the third goal. Â Official scoring change.
Update: Word in the press box is that while the Penguins are not officially updating the condition of Alex Grant, team officials seem optimistic about the outcome, which is good news to hear. Â The JLC fell silent upon seeing the hit.
Update: Just 13 minutes left in what has been a pretty tame third period. Â A side note, for a man his size, Jared Cowen has pretty good speed.
Update: Dustin Jeffrey just sends a two-on-one pass from Eric Tangradi over the top corner of the net. Â Tangradi and Jeffrey seem to have some instant chemistry going on. Â 12 minutes remain in the game.
Update: About halfway through the third and the Penguins will go the box again. Â This time it's Geoff Walker with a hooking penalty 200 feet from his own net.
Update: Bobby Butler with his second of the game for the Senators cuts the Pens lead to 4-2. Â Butler gets in behind the defense on a breakaway and goes five hole on Theissen.
Update: Scoring reads goal by Bobby Butler on the powerplay. Â Assist to Mike Hoffman. Â 8 minutes remain in the game. Â 4-2 Penguins.
Update: Unrelated to this game, but for those in the London area, I will be on FM96 after 4Pm with Sarah Burke talking NHL rookie tournament.
Update: Senators are trying to stage a comeback. Â Couple of close calls in the Penguins zone as the game reaches its final stages. Â Just under six minutes left in regulation.
Update: Senators continue to pressure late in the game. Â For those asking, I think Thiessen has looked good tonight. Â Very positionally sound between the pipes for Pittsburgh.
Update: Three minutes remain in regulation, still 4-2 Penguins. Â Thiessen has made a few big saves this period.
Update: And the Senators make it a one goal game with 1:37 to go. Â I think Gryba got the goal for Ottawa. Â 4-3.
Update: Eric Gryba does indeed get the goal. Â 4-3 Penguins with one minute to play.
Update: The Senators hit the cross bar with 30 seconds left in the game, and the Penguins ice it with an empty netter. Â Dustin Jeffrey with the goal. Â Looks like this one will end as a 5-3 final for Pittsburgh.
Update: And the final buzzer sounds as the Penguins take the game 5-3 in the opener of the rookie tournament. Â Be sure to join me tonight for live coverage of the Leafs/Blackhawks game.

genea software
about your changes on the article Other_genealogy_software. Many of those or not really usefull to users:
- openancestry is a dead project stuck in version 0.0.9, I deleted it
- expoactes is a genealogical resource not a programm, you should add it to Resource_and_related_sites, eg under a France header. I deleted it
- utilspl is a zip file! You should give a description of what it is, or if you have not used it, delete the entry
- geneasoft: there is nothing this page gives extra. Why add it? You could add it at the bottom after cindy's list, but that list is more extensive.
- french only programs are of little use for english/international users. You should warn them the program is french only.
==> I moved some of the content you added to Other genealogy tools bmcage 05:31, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
Jerome, I do not know this program, little information is given (no screenshots ;-)) However, they speak about excel sheets, ... and how you have to use a freeware program nimegue to prepare your actes. It looks to me this nimegue is the real program (see screenshots in the documentation) to input certificates, and expoactes is just a server hosting them. However, Nimegue is freeware if I understand correctly, and don and alex clearly stated to me only links to free (as in OSS free) programs should be hosted on gramps wiki.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, I did not read to much of the french text, the documentation is a bit verbose.
- I understand. Please, in that case, add expoactes to the Other genealogy tools, but please, add sufficient explanation on what it does (web server hosting ....), and that it is in french. If possible, link to information on the program directly (download page, manual). bmcage 12:39, 24 March 2007 (EDT)
if you have comments on pages, or ideas on how to improve, please use the talk page and not the article itself.
Eg, on Improving_picture_quality you give an idea to make the article better. You should add that to Talk:Improving_picture_quality not to the article itself.
table in settings
I editted the table pls check if ok Jérôme
should we block this dinmoo0 guy?
Anyway, thanks for catching it! bmcage 08:45, 31 May 2007 (EDT)
Jerome, I added sidebar in french. I don't know what you plan with the pages MediaWiki talk:Sidebar/fr and MediaWiki talk:Sidebar but they can be deleted I think.
Jerome, the dict problem appears to be a wiki bug on inclusion of large files.

I was shocked at the revelations of horrific abuse of lobsters at Maine processing plants.
I have been a vegetarian for many years, and at the top of my list of reasons is the inhumane treatment of most animals raised for meat.
I make occasional exceptions for fish, since they lead free and natural lives at sea and many of them are doomed to be consumed by larger predators anyway.
In recent years, however, I have minimized my consumption of lobster meat because I can't bear the thought of all those lobsters being dropped into boiling water — or at least that was what I assumed happened in the factories. The reality turns out to be unimaginably worse, unfortunately.
It is appalling that the lobster industry has no qualms about this documented cruelty, and only repeats the same tired argument that they don't believe lobsters can feel pain. Uh-huh.
While it is true that a lobster's nervous system is less highly developed than ours, anyone who gives the matter a moment's honest thought has to admit that the experience of pain is basic to all creatures who are able to move about independently.
If this were not the case, that species would have no reason to avoid bodily harm and would rapidly perish (in fact, the "pain line" is usually drawn below shellfish).
And lobsters are a species that has been proven to recognize each other as individuals. Does anybody out there really believe they don't feel pain?
Maine lobster processors should do the right thing and adopt humane methods of slaughter.
To ensure this, our animal protection laws should include all animals slaughtered for human consumption. It is shameful that one of our Maine signature products is based in such hideous cruelty to defenseless creatures.
Mary Wheeler
Patrice McCarron, executive director of the Maine Lobstermen's Association, misunderstands or misstates the real issue discussed in your article "State denies PETA claim of cruel lobster 'kills'" (Sept. 18).
Although I am not a PETA member, it seems clear to me that PETA is not trying to "humanize a lobster," as Ms. McCarron puts it. PETA attempts to humanize the humans who eat the lobster.
If there is a controversy, it is not between animals and humans, nor between different groups of humans. It is a question of respect for life.
Life is precious, and we are all demeaned if we brutalize the animals that we kill for food.
All religious traditions call for respect for life and teach that if we must kill, it should be done humanely: that is, with respectful awareness.
We must not allow the drive for profit to cause us to forget who we are.

Eliot Cutler has been active since 2010 race for governor
The Press Herald recently published Mike Michaud supporter Stan Spiegel's letter critical of Eliot Cutler for somehow not being active enough since the last gubernatorial election ("Cutler silent as LePage dismantles government," Sept. 16).
For starters, that's simply not true. Mr. Cutler has been involved in a number of important public policy debates — marriage equality, election reform, health care coverage — and written a book.
Secondly, my guess is that Mainers will not be surprised at Rep. Michaud's lack of political activity. Mike Michaud has been a social conservative in Congress for the last 10 years. Over that decade he has authored a grand total of just two bills that became law.
Anyone who knows Eliot Cutler knows that he has never backed away from a controversial political issue. Mr. Spiegel has his facts wrong, too: Eliot has spoken out time and again against Gov. LePage's cuts to Maine-Care.
He was far from silent when he publicly called for the Maine Legislature to override Gov. LePage's budget veto after the governor put partisanship above statesmanship.
Mr. Spiegel overlooked the fact that Eliot Cutler co-chaired Angus King's successful independent campaign for U.S. Senate last year.
After King won, Cutler sat down, researched and wrote a 104-page book detailing his plans for Maine. I downloaded and read it today. Good reading for all Mainers.
If anyone should feel embarrassed about not speaking truth to power, it's Mike Michaud.
The real question should be, why hasn't Mike Michaud himself commented on what's going on in his home state?
Or better yet, what has he done as a congressman for the past 10 years? Readers should be wary of political campaigns camouflaged as letters to the editor. Spiegel's letter is the latest example of that, but a misguided one.

Honor our seniors by fighting for them against Big Pharma
A proposed Maine bill will proclaim Sept. 14 as official "Maine Seniors Day." It is designed to encourage seniors throughout the country to move to Maine to retire.
Contrast this commendable bill to the proposed bill to ban mail-order drug purchases by Mainers through Canadian and other international firms.
This bill would particularly impact seniors, many of whom lack drug insurance coverage, and tend to be most in need of prescription drugs.
Big Pharma and those that benefit from their grossly excessive prescription drug prices wish to protect their profits, with little concern for the ability of many to pay.
In many cases passage of this bill would put the costs of drugs, some by several-fold, beyond the reach of many Maine seniors, with obvious serious consequences to their health.
If the state of Maine truly has the best interests of its residents, particularly seniors, at heart, then it can only reject any bill that will restrict their drug-buying choices.

ATLANTA -- Coca-Cola's profit dropped 4% in the second quarter and volume growth declined in several key markets. Net income was $2.68 billion, or 59¢ a share, down 4% from $2.79 billion, or 61¢ per share, a year earlier. Revenue slid 3% to $12.75 billion.
The beverage giant blamed sales declines in America and Europe on bad weather that hampered cold drink consumption, poor economic conditions and the shift away from sugary drinks. Overall sales volume dropped 4% in Europe and 1% in America. U.S. soda volume declined 4%.
Africa, the Middle East and Russia together saw a 9% gain in volume. Volume in Asia rose 2%; volume in China was the same. Coke is increasingly focusing its growth efforts on emerging markets, where volume expanded 24% in Thailand, 18% in India and 15% in Nigeria.
Looking ahead to the second half of the year, executives expressed confidence that improved weather would bolster performance, helped by Coke's planned investments in marketing, new packaging and other tactics.
Coke and rival Pepsi are experimenting with new low-calorie soda formulas to attract diet-conscious consumers both in the U.S. and developed markets abroad. Coke is also putting more marketing muscle behind drinks like Dasani and SmartWater in the U.S., where volume for its noncarbonated beverages increased 5% in the second quarter.

Hold On, You're Going Home: Funniest Twitter Reactions To Drake Canceling Philly Show At The Last Minute
- By Bossip Staff
7 of 19
After firing (and re-hiring) show opener Future and getting emotional about folks calling him emotional, Drake canceled his Philly show as the crowd entered the arena due to technical difficulties/safety concerns. What happened next was pure comedy as furious Philly fans stormed his Twitter @mentions to express their disgust after sacrificing jobs, child support payments and friendships to see him perform.
Here are the funniest Twitter reactions to Drake canceling his Philly show at the very last minute. Take a look.

There is nothing quite like the stomach virus sweeping through a house with kids.
Although it's been about two weeks now since our boys have been clear of it, I still can't shake that distinct and overwhelming smell of Lysol, which engulfed our house while the kids were down for the count.
When the stomach virus hits, there is no question what it is and what lies ahead for the child and the parents. That's why when Carson vomited in his bed a couple weeks ago we knew exactly what was ahead of us, although we were hoping we were wrong.
There were bouts of vomiting and diarrhea that teamed to make for a messy situation at home and numerous loads of clothes being dumped routinely into the washer and dryer.
Whenever someone gets ill in the house, like most folks, the first thing we do is try to contain the germs, but it's extremely difficult to do with much success.
Somehow, Pam and I escaped without getting the virus, but as soon as Carson was feeling better Beckett came down with the exact same symptoms.
In Carson's case, we were awake when he first got sick, so we were able to take care of him.
With Beckett, he got sick in his bed in the middle of the night and snuck in bed with us without letting us know. It's a common thing for him to hop in with us in the middle of the night, and I didn't think anything of it at first. Pam just put him under the covers and that was that.
Unfortunately, we woke up to him vomiting in our bed. It was a little after 3 in the morning, and we exchanged looks that summed up a "here we go again" reaction.
We took turns hanging out with him in the bathroom that night because it was the best place to be if there was going to be any more accidents.
With both kids, keeping them hydrated was the problem, as both would almost immediately vomit after drinking anything for 24 hours or so. Again, a messy situation but also one where you just wish it was one of the parents rather than the kid dealing with that sort of bug.
With all kids, you can tell how they are feeling by looking in their eyes, and Carson and Beckett, in their various sicknesses, revealed immediately that they were down and out.
With our kids, 4 and 3, it's quite obvious when they are not feeling well. Of course, you have the eyes to reveal, but also their energy levels are drastically different.
If my kids are awake, they are moving around, playing with this and that and generally high energy. At this young age, they are not much for laying around unless there is a computer game, television show or a book involved. Even then, the relaxing only lasts for 10 or 15 minutes.
That's why when they are hanging on the couch and content to not be playing with anything or watching a movie we know they are bad off.
Fortunately, both were excellent, little sick patients and did next to nothing while they were down and out.
As was the case when they were sick, we knew immediately when they were feeling better. It was like a flick of a switch and all was back to normal.
They had reverted back to being too rough with each other. They were eating their breakfasts like they were starved and draining juice like champs. They were back to destroying their rooms. Listening returned to being a foreign subject at times, and their energy had been restored to a level that continues to amaze.
While it was nice to have them both feeling better again at the same time, at one particularly frustrating point the first day after both were back to normal, I wondered aloud how I missed how sweet and nice they were when they were sick.
Pam gave me a look that resembled a "now, now", but I know she agreed, at least partially.
Football season may be over, but it's still fresh in Beckett's mind.
At Dick's Sporting Goods on Sunday, I was trying out equipment sizes on my 4-year-old for his first foray into the sport of lacrosse. It was quite entertaining, as getting him to stay still in that kind of store was a larger challenge than I anticipated. He was particularly fascinated with the mannequins, or "weird people" as he called them, wondering why they didn't have hands, leg hair and why their heads were cut off, among other keen observations about the male anatomy.
At one point, he took off for the baseball aisle, leaving me standing there alone with a lacrosse helmet on to demonstrate to him how it goes on. When I caught up to him, with helmet still on, of course, he grabbed a glove out of another boy's hand and threw it to the ground.
When I tried to correct him, he said to the boy, "no, no, no — that's a Steelers glove. See it's black and gold. Where are the purple gloves? Daddy help me find him a purple glove."
It was the wrong sport and certainly inappropriate to his new friend, but I have to admit I was holding back a laugh, smiling on the inside and having a proud dad moment.

A Texas-based energy company has agreed to pay a $207,150 fine in a settlement agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for polluting air around Ignacio for more than 10 years.
Court documents show the Elm Ridge Exploration Co. violated the Clean Air Act by operating engines that are not in compliance with emission and operating limitations. The company also failed to get written approval from the EPA to install several high-pollutant engines.
Elm Ridge owns the Ignacio Gas Treating Plant on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation about eight miles west of Ignacio. The plant has been in operation since 1999 and accepts low-pressure raw and untreated natural gas from about 140 surrounding wells owned by the company, according to the court complaint filed by the EPA.
The plant became a major source of hazardous air pollutants in 2000, after two reciprocating internal-combustion engines were installed, the complaint states.
We know from years of monitoring in the Four Corners that the pollutants being put out by these engines have been near to EPA air-quality limits, said Bruce Baizel, staff attorney for Earthworks. Theyre basically diesel-generator engines.
The pollutants from the engines can exacerbate health issues such as asthma, Baizel said.
The EPA became aware of the violations in September 2010, when Elm Ridge submitted an operating permit application, said Hans Buenning, an environmental engineer with EPA.
An EPA inspection shortly after the company filed for the permit revealed the emission violations. Elm Ridge also failed to file various compliance reports over its years of operation. As part of the settlement, Elm Ridge will pay $67,850 in unpaid permit fees.
To be honest, if the company hadnt filed with the EPA initially this could have gone on indefinitely, Baizel said.
The company is required under the settlement to replace the existing compressor engines with lower-emitting engines equipped with pollution-control equipment, replace Southern Ute tribal members older wood stoves with EPA-certified wood stoves and implement a project that will reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and conserve natural gas at the plant, according to an EPA news release.
The EPA worked with the Southern Ute Indian Tribe on the settlement, Buenning said. The public has until Nov. 5 to comment on the agreement.

Fences have both practical and aesthetic value, but a badly conceived fence can be an eyesore and a source of conflict with neighbors.
Fencing Materials:
Wood: One of the most common types of fencing, wood can give properties a traditional look. However, the lifetime of wood fencing varies. Many types have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years and require regular maintenance, ranging from cleaning and sealing to painting. It's important to understand the different types of wood and which are preferable for your purposes, tastes and climate. Bamboo is among the most recent newcomers to the range of fencing options. It is highly touted because it is considered environmentally friendly
Vinyl/composite: Often a top choice among homeowner associations in newer neighborhoods, this type of fencing tends to have clean, uniform lines. It also is a cost-effective option because it is easy to maintain; no painting and sealing required. In most cases, vinyl/composite fencing has a longer warranty than other types of fencing.
Metals: Materials in this category can include aluminum, steel and traditional wrought iron – an expensive but beautiful choice. These options are ideal if you want to establish boundaries on your property but would rather maintain your views. They also can be highly decorative and enhance the overall aesthetic of your property.
Brick/masonry: Though an expensive option, brick as fencing is appropriate for historic neighborhoods and more stately properties. It also provides a high degree of privacy and security.
Angie's List Tips: What to consider when installing a fence
What's the purpose of the fence? Is it for privacy? To keep your kids and dogs in or another reason?
Are you allowed to have fence? If so, what type? Homeowners are responsible for checking with their homeowners association on types of fences allowed, verifying their property lines, having their yard checked for buried utility lines, etc.
Be a good neighbor: While it's not legally required, communicate with your neighbors that you're thinking of putting up a fence so they don't learn of it only when they see it being installed.
Factor in maintenance: Your fence will lose its appeal if you don't maintain it. Check your fence every few months for splintering, peeling, mold, breakage and insects. Be careful with the weed whacker near the fence. Over time, that causes splintering and scratches which breaks the seal and encourages damage.
Angie's List Tips: Hiring a fencing contractor
A quality fencing company should provide you with written estimates, a warranty on the work, as well as a product warranty on the materials.
Are they a full-service company? In addition to the installation, do they do repairs and adjustments?
Ask for references and don't be afraid to do a little leg work to check up on the company's past projects.
Get at least three written estimate and read the contract thoroughly.
