Don't Miss the Show: Three Mo' Tenors Coming to CU Oct. 13
September 28, 2012
After receiving rave reviews and playing to sold out houses across the country and internationally, Three Mo' Tenors (www.ThreeMoTenorsOnTour.com) will arrive at Cheyney University's Marian Anderson Music Center on Saturday, October 13, 2012. The classically trained, multi-talented operatic tenors have been compared to Olympic decathalon athletes who perform not only operatic music, but also jazz, gospel, soul, spirituals, New School, Broadway, and the blues.
Conceived and directed by the highly acclaimed veteran Broadway performer, choreographer and director, Marion J. Caffey, THREE MO' TENORS showcases the extraordinary versatility of African-American tenors. The show begins with Verdi, and soon the music of Motown, Ray Charles and Usher has tenors, Duane Moody, Phumzile Sojola and Victor Robertson, grooving on the stage.
Three Mo' Tenors has been captivating audiences around the globe, including New York's Little Shubert Theatre, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, Toronto, Scotland, Armenia, and Russia, since it was first televised on PBS "Great Performances" and RCA released the recording of the show.
"Three Mo' Tenors embody a musical repertoire of extraordinary breadth," Caffey explains. Through song and dance, we hope to elevate the stature of African-American musical performers in the world. Our goal is to sing our way into history."
Tickets (ordinarily $80) for Three Mo' Tenors are $20 for adults and $10 for youth and students with a school ID. Tickets can be purchased online at www.cheyney.ticketleap.com. Cash and checks WILL BE accepted at the door for those who do not have tickets. ALL CU FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS GET IN FREE. Bring your ID's.
The show starts at 7:30 pm.

Microsoft's industry leading document and productivity suite, Microsoft Office, has seen new competition from the likes of Mozilla (Thunderbird), Open Office, Google (Google Docs, GMail), and others. However, Microsoft continues to lead the way in both revenue and user base, and is working hard to push the boundaries of the Office product.
Today it announced in an exclusive Q&A article the official release details on the successor to Office 2007, Office 2010. Most important is that it is coming soon -- this year. The first of its components will land with Exchange 2010, set for the second half of the year. The rest of Office 2010 — including Office Web applications, SharePoint Server 2010, Visio 2010 and Project 2010 will be released as a technical preview in third quarter of 2009, much like the Windows 7 beta program. The finished products will ship in the first half of 2010.
A big focus of the new suite is to provide a cohesive platform across an increasingly mobile computing world. While traditional versions will be included for installation on PCs and laptops, the Office suite will also be available as internet applications and on mobile phones, including, reportedly, the iPhone.
Microsoft's Chris Capossela, senior vice president of Microsoft's Information Worker Product Management Group, describes, "With these new products we are giving people a familiar interface across PCs, mobile phones and browsers to make it even easier for them to create, communicate and collaborate from any location. IT professionals will benefit from a choice of new delivery and new licensing models as well as from improved management options to better control costs, and enhanced security across all locations. And through our integrated infrastructure, businesses can more easily deploy, manage and help secure corporate assets and comply with government regulations."
Another concern for Microsoft has been to make its APIs friendlier to developers. It says it has made considerable advances towards making its Office APIs standards compliant and more accessible. As evidences by the success of Yahoo Widgets in the TV world or Apple's iPhone, having a solid set of APIs can make (or break) a product, these days.
Security also is a focus of the new suite. It looks to close past security openings and provide a fundamentally more secure architecture. This is especially important as Microsoft moves to a mixed deployment for Exchange 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010, both with local offerings, and for central online offerings, via its cloud computing/serving business.
Exchange 2010 -- the Office email software -- is one program that got special TLC from Microsoft. The company has been actively testing it since October 2007, and has deployed it at 2,000 universities, with over 2 million active users. With this strategy Microsoft is confident that it is very ready for even the largest business deployments.
The testing also allowed it to add many new and useful features to the software. Writes Mr. Capossela:
Among the new benefits that help people save time and money, Exchange 2010 introduces a personal e-mail archive to not only address compliance and regulatory needs by making mail easier to manage and search across the organization, but which frees up space on production servers and improves performance. Customers can lower costs by replacing their traditional voice mail system with Exchange 2010's unified messaging solution that now provides text previews of voice mail messages so users may act upon them accordingly, directly from their mailbox. It also introduces new capabilities through Outlook 2010 that combine related messages into a single conversation with the added option to remove oneself from irrelevant e-mail threads. Another addition is the new Mail Tips feature, which will warn users from making embarrassing missteps before they hit send on problem e-mails — such as accidentally e-mailing a big distribution list or sending e-mail when a recipient is out of office, not to mention reducing extra steps and calls to the helpdesk. Those are features I'm sure we can all appreciate.
Another interesting tidbit is that as part of Exchange 2010, Microsoft will be adding Outlook 2010 to Mozilla's Firefox and Apple's Safari browsers, traditional competitors to its internet explorer. The third party browsers will now have full access to Office Outlook Web Access with Office Communicator Web Access. If nothing else, this should go a ways towards getting the EU and other antitrust regulators of Microsoft's back in terms of browser competition.
While most users and developers will have to wait a few more months to officially get their hands on the Office 2010 technical preview, Microsoft's early description of the product certainly sounds appealing. Simply the ability to have a copy of Office for smart phones suitable for full viewing and minor editing of documents would be enough to broaden Microsoft's user base (many Office readers are already offered, but most lack the ability to properly read more complex documents, and lack significant editing capabilities).

First Fursday: Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month
April is Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month.
I think it's important to use my fame here on long-haired human's blog to raise awareness about animal cruelty. My humans are very good to me - regular vet check-ups, special medical attention when needed, food, water, shelter, and lots of love.
But not all kitties have it so easy. Remember when I told you how sad I was for Duncan? Some would argue that even though he was fed regularly, the lack of proper care and being forced to live outside all winter was abusive.
Some people hit their pets. Some just ignore them because they're too much trouble. Some don't provide trips to the doctor or training to keep them out of trouble. Some abandon them for whatever reason, like I was abandoned. It makes me very sad in my purr-parts. Even Tonya was the result of a teen-kitty pregnancy resulting from abandoned cats that had not been spayed or neutered.
Because this is also important to my humans, they have decided to donate $1 for every comment left on this post between now and when they return home from their trip on April 10, up to $250. They will make their donation through PetSmart Charities due to their 4-star Charity Navigator rating. 89¢ of every dollar goes to animal welfare agencies that need funding. If you'd like to make a donation of your own, be sure to check out their site. On a side note, my humans first met me at a PetSmart adopt-a-thon.
I know today is April Fools Day but cruelty to animals is no joke, people. Please be good to your fur freaks and consider supporting your local shelters and humane societies as they help take care of the other animals.

Animal cruelty is a horrible thing. My kitties are so love that they are spoiled. I am sure that you are not spoiled. But maybe Tonya is. You are just too well behaved.

I had cats before I had kids, and so I was excited to adopt a humane society kitty when the kids were old enough. Turned out my 7-year-old son was badly, BADLY allergic. His face was red, his eyes puffy, and his nose was dripping constantly (he'd been around cats before with no problem!). He wailed: "I don't MIND being sick! I can take medicine!" His sister wanted to kill him but we could not keep the cat. We brought her back (forfeiting the $100 adoption fee) with a long "reference letter" about what a wonderful family kitty she was and how we hoped she'd find her forever family soon. We checked the humane society site every day until she was adopted, and kept a picture of her up for years. Good luck and thanks for donating!

We think the law is flawed on this issue, not necessarily the court that interpreted it. We feel where legal documents are delivered and ownership of residential property that is lived should be the main factors in determining residency. However, the law doesn't describe it that way. Someone who lives on Dover ground and breathes Dover air should represent them as mayor.
The second piece of court news worth a mention was the fiasco surrounding sexually-oriented businesses. The amended sexually-oriented business ordinance, drafted by Russellville's city attorney and passed by the council, was found to be defective.
Holding a public position is great, isn't it? When you mess up, everyone knows about it.
Drafting an inadequate ordinance is unacceptable for a city attorney. The people of Russellville deserve better. The amended ordinance, passed earlier this year, created an excessively wide definition of a sexually-oriented business. It also provided no timeframe for businesses found to be in violation to right their wrongs. Actually, it read, "90 days or longer."
Ninety days or longer. Think about that statement for a minute or longer.
The council has a hand in this also. After all they approved it, but the council is not a group of lawyers. They should be able to trust the city attorney, especially when he helps author our laws. Drafting city ordinances is just as important as convicting drunken driving offenders. Performance on DWI conviction in our city is also questionable.
Expectations for city officials are good for taxpayers. We should have high expectations for the people who represent us and help create local laws.
This ordinance failure costed time and money. We paid our city attorney to draft it which probably didn't take very long because after seeing it wither under courtroom pressure, there was little research involved.
However, we feel someone encouraged the city attorney to amend the ordinance. We don't think he woke up one day and just decided to rewrite an already sound ordinance.
We would encourage residents who have concerns on this issue to use their right to vote to make a difference. But in this instance, we see no opposition.

Shortstop accepts 50-game suspension for violating MLB's drug policy
By Corey Brock / MLB.com
SAN DIEGO -- A tearful and emotional Everth Cabrera apologized to his organization, teammates and fans on Monday after the Padres shortstop was suspended for 50 games without pay for violating MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
MLB on Monday suspended 13 players as a result of the league's Biogenesis investigation. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez received the stiffest penalty -- a 211-game ban without pay through the end of the 2014 regular season. Rodriguez, 38, has appealed the suspension, which is to begin Thursday. His case will be heard by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. Rodriguez's discipline, MLB said in its written announcement, is based on his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone, over the course of multiple years. Rodriguez's discipline under the basic agreement is for attempting to cover up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to "obstruct and frustrate" the investigation.

The other players who were handed 50-game suspensions include Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta, Mariners catcher Jesus Montero, Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli, Phillies reliever Antonio Bastardo and recently demoted Mets utilityman Jordany Valdespin. Minor Leaguers Fernando Martinez, Jordan Norberto, Fautino de los Santos, Cesar Puello and Sergio Escalona were also suspended.
"I made a mistake," said Cabrera, who didn't take questions but spoke in detail of the events that led to him taking a banned substance in 2012.
Cabrera didn't appeal his suspension, which will begin immediately.
Cabrera said that he took a banned substance either before or during Spring Training of 2012 on the advice of Juan Nunez, a consultant of the Levinson brothers, Cabrera's former representation.
"In 2012, when I made the decision to take this, my shoulder wasn't even at 50 percent, and I wanted to be healthy for the spring," said Cabrera via an interpreter, noting he suffered a shoulder injury while playing in Triple-A during the 2011 season.
Cabrera wouldn't indicate what he took, but said he did so for a period of four days after receiving a package of the substance from Tony Bosch, who ran Biogenesis, the now-shuttered Florida clinic under investigation for allegedly supplying players with banned substances.
"My heart and my conscience were killing me. I knew it wasn't the best decision to make," Cabrera said.
Cabrera wasn't the only player in the Padres organization who earned a 50-game suspension on Monday.
De Los Santos also was suspended for 50 games. De Los Santos is still with the organization but is in Arizona rehabilitating his right shoulder after surgery in May.
"I made certain unsound decisions during the 2012 season, and I accept full responsibility for those choices," De Los Santos said in a statement released through his agency.
As for the 26-year-old Cabrera, he was enjoying a breakout season in 2013, in the field and especially at the top of the order.
Cabrera, hitting .283 with a career-high 108 hits in 95 games, leads the National League in steals (37). He also leads the Padres in hits and runs (54) and has four homers, 31 RBIs and a .355 on-base percentage.
"He's been incredibly valuable for us," Padres catcher Nick Hundley said on Monday. "At the top of the lineup, he was playing a great shortstop, and he gives you quality at-bats every time. We're definitely going to miss him."
Cabrera had two hits and knocked in two runs in the Padres' 6-3 victory over the Yankees on Sunday at Petco Park. The Padres (52-60) are 10 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West.
|What they can't do:
|Cannot receive pay
|Cannot participate in Arizona Fall League
|Cannot participate in Postseason games
|Cannot be elected or selected to the All-Star Game (if player is suspended during the offseason, Spring Training, or championship season prior to the All-Star Game)
|What they can do:
|Can participate in Spring Training and extended spring training
|Can participate in affiliated Winter League games
|Can work out with the club
|Can participate in batting practice before the gates open before a game
|Can consent to an assignment to a Minor League affiliate for a period of time prescribed under Section 7.H.2 of the Joint Drug Program
The Padres open a two-game set at home against the Orioles on Tuesday, with infielder Logan Forsythe likely to play shortstop.
The Padres were supportive of the decision made by Major League Baseball on Monday.
"My reaction is one of support for Major League Baseball," said Padres general manager Josh Byrnes. "... It's a tough issue, and it hits close to home. But in the longer view, it's good for the game and necessary. It's a big day for Major League Baseball and for the players who have been clean for quite some time. ... Their voices are being heard. This is a painful, yet necessary, step."
Under the terms of the Basic Agreement, Commissioner Allan H. "Bud" Selig has the power to suspend players for "just cause" in the absence of a failed drug test.
MLB's statement announcing the suspensions did not detail Cabrera's specific infractions nor did it make any reference to Biogenesis, but Cabrera certainly did.
"I didn't search for this. ... It's something that was presented to me," Cabrera said. "Never in my life or baseball career did I ever consider taking these substances. Even when I went to Spring Training, I wasn't comfortable with what I was doing."
Cabrera's suspension comes two weeks after Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun agreed to accept a season-ending suspension of 65 games without pay as a result of evidence uncovered in MLB's investigation of Biogenesis.
San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal, who was linked to Biogenesis in January, was not suspended. He previously served a 50-game suspension to start the season after testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone in 2012. The release Monday said Grandal would not receive additional discipline.
"We support the Commissioner and the drug policy," Hundley said. "I think the fans want to believe in players. They want to see them play and play well. They don't want to see the guys who test positive. The closer we get to that, the more the fans can believe in the game again. While [Cabrera's suspension] is disappointing for the organization, it's an exciting time for the game to be cleaned up."
Under terms of the Basic Agreement, players who fail drugs tests and don't win appeals are suspended for 50 games for a first offense, 100 games for a second and face a lifetime ban for a third.
After he was first linked to Biogenesis in February, Cabrera met with manager Bud Black and Byrnes during Spring Training.
Cabrera said at the time he was "surprised" and "disappointed" that he was linked to Biogenesis. The Padres were satisfied with what they heard from him on the matter.
"All along, we were hoping for the best in regards to Cabby. We felt, initially, that things were going to work out where he would be with us for the entire season," Black said Monday. "Apparently, there was more to the story than we thought initially.
"Hopefully through all this, Cabby has learned a valuable lesson and will be ready to play when the suspension is over."
Cabrera was arbitration-eligible for the first time this past winter, and he won't be eligible for free agency until 2017.
Cabrera's loss rates as a significant hit for the Padres, especially because he plays a premium position and plays it well.
Cabrera hit .305 with 31 steals and a .382 on-base percentage in his first 69 games of the season before landing on the disabled list with a strained left groin in June. He missed 17 games before returning to the lineup just prior to the All-Star break and then traveled to New York for the All-Star Game on July 16 at Citi Field, though he didn't appear in the game.
According to FanGraphs, Cabrera ranks fourth among all Major League shortstops in WAR (3.0).
"He was a catalyst," Black said of Cabrera in July.
In Cabrera's absence, the Padres will likely use Forsythe at shortstop. Forsythe has played 135 games in the big leagues at second base and six at shortstop -- five this season. Alexi Amarista can also play shortstop.
On Saturday, the team signed 30-year-old Ronny Cedeno to a Minor League deal in case it needed another shortstop. Cedeno, who has played with five clubs over nine big league seasons, was assigned to Class A Advanced Lake Elsinore.
The team is expected to add Cedeno to the roster on Tuesday, as Cabrera heads to the restricted list, thus opening a spot on both the 25-, and 40-man rosters.

• Ricky Stanfield, 29, possession of a firearm by a felon — $5,000.
Russellville police responded to a disturbance, where officers found Stanfield loading up a car, according to an RPD report. The report stated he said he was going to leave his ex-girlfriend and move to California.
Officers found Stanfield had an active warrant for failure to pay fines and was taken into custody. An inspection of his vehicle turned up a Remington rifle.
Stanfield has a prior felony robbery conviction from 2007, according to the report.
• Steven Qualls, 47, domestic battery and criminal mischief — $7,500.
Officers responding to a disturbance on June 8 arrived on scene to find Qualls driving a vehicle, according to an RPD report.
He allegedly pulled over, got out of the vehicle and started acting aggressively when officers moved to apprehend him. He was taken into custody without incident, and he was determined to be intoxicated at that time.
After Qualls was in custody, officers spoke with the alleged victim, who said he attacked her and cut the tires of her vehicle.
Qualls was ordered not to have contact with the victim.
• Juan Avila, 27, delivery or manufacture of a counterfeit controlled substance — $7,500.
A warrant was issued for Avila's arrest last year after he allegedly met with a confidential informant in August 2011 and sold 4 grams of a substance he claimed was cocaine in exchange for $400.
The substance was later tested and determined to be caffeine.

All that being said, in my opinion, leather is still the best choice for riding gear.
All that being said, in my opinion, leather is still the best choice for riding gear.
Found this Item on the Aerostitch website. I need one of these. I think I will mortgage my house and buy one. This is hilarious, check it out.
[QUOTE=GlobalRider;373373]If nobody paid the prices, they would most certainly be slashed and they'd still make a very healthy profit. Ever wonder how MSRP can be cut by 20% or more...huge mark-ups!!!
Having worked in the apparel business (motorcycle and other) for the past decade, I can tell you that the highest markup is usually on the less expensive goods. Your BMW dealer has a significantly lower margin on BMW apparel than he/she does on brands like Olympia, Rev'it, Firstgear, etc. If nobody paid the price, as you suggest, BMW would simply stop producing riding gear, or would begin producing goods to "sell for a price," the way they have with the new Tourance2 suit.
Each of us has to decide what we are willing to spend for comfort and protection. I often use the analogy of a new car: If you have no car and I give you a new Honda Civic, you now have a great car which will most likely do everything you need a car to do, and you'll be happy driving it. Take a long look at a Mercedes, though, and you'll begin to see why the car costs as much as it does. There's more to it than jacking up the price for the hood ornament.
Now let me state for the record that I, personally, own a '98 Jetta which still serves my needs and my riding gear is currently Olympia and Firstgear. I have been satisfied with my riding apparel thus far, but am planning to upgrade. If you haven't already, go in and look at the armor used in the BMW ComfortShell or Atlantis4. There is a huge difference! Whether or not you buy it is entirely your choice.

Hopefully some of you guys will see this. this thread has been hanging around for a while and it might not get much attention but I have a question and did not want to start a new post for it.
Have any of you used newenough.com for online shopping? I am curious about them. I can tell you this. I spend lots of time shopping online and they are far and away the best looking site for the products that they carry. They take the time to have large photos of every single product on thier site. They have real people actually put the stuff on so it makes the online shopping experience much easier. That being said how are they for standing behind what they sell? How is the return policy? If any of you are familiar with them please post or PM me. Thank you.
Newenough is a top notch vendor. Returns are no hassle. You can get an RMA by email or by phone. Credit is instant, as soon as they receive your returned stuff.

Have bought several items from New Enough very pleased with products ,price and fast shipping. Also receive email from them with sale items....... nice.

Thank you very much. There are a couple item that I can't find for less anywhere else. I am looking at the SIDI Typhoon boots. been wanting either those or the On-road Gore tex from SIDI.
Any thoughts on either boot anybody?
Hey Kelly!
I will throw my hat in the NewEnough.com ring. If every company had Customer service like these folks, the world would DEFINITELY be a better place. Their website is unparalleled. Paul and his folks try or inspect nearly every product they sell and give honest reviews on them. Their description of fit for the clothing is absolutely awesome. I have made a bunch of purchases from them and never once had an issue with the service they provide. Order early enough in the day and they will ship it out the same day. Sign up for their email list! Paul sends them out almost once a week and often has some smoking deals contained!

Helmets don't save lives but loud pipes do?
I got back into riding this past May after a 25 year lay-off. My promise to my wife and myself was to take the MSF course and buy great quality riding equipment. I spent a load of time researching boots and trying them on. The best value and comfort for me were the Sidi On Road with the GoreTex lining. Only 4000 miles on them, but they are now broken in and very comfortable. All leather with a padded shin and a traction sole. Ankle cups that I feel could be a little bit beefier, but in all, a great boot. To some, expensive at $325, but IMHO, well worth it. I have stood in a wading pool, totally submerging the lower half of the boots for 10 minutes, and not a drop inside. Able to shift and brake without the pinching you sometimes get from some boots.
Learned in my early riding days about wearing anything lace-up, when the laces came undone and got caught in the countershaft sprocket. Please, all do yourself a favor and leave the laces for the hiking boots. So most of us drive bikes without chain and sprocket, but there are plenty of other things for laces to get wound around.
Personally try them on and see how you like them. They do have a break in period and that could be hard judging when walking around in them for a test spin on the dealers floor. Made in Italy where they are known for good quality footwear ( and expensive prices).

Fire weather will grip the Southland through the end of the week — the result of fierce Santa Ana winds, single-digit humidity and unseasonably high temperatures — prompting the Los Angeles Fire Department to beef up firefighter strength at 10 stations and impose parking restrictions on narrow, hilly streets.
A red flag warning issued by the National Weather Service to alert the public to "critical fire weather conditions" was in effect in much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties and scheduled to remain so until 8 p.m. Thursday.
"The combination of strong Santa Ana winds, widespread single-digit humidities and hot temperatures will bring an extended period of extreme fire danger to much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties," the NWS said in an advisory.
"Damaging winds will be likely across the mountains and portions of the valleys in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, with peak gusts in the 60-to-80-mile-per-hour range."
In these conditions, it continued, "if fire ignition occurs there could be rapid spread of wildfire that would lead to a threat to life and property."
The Department of Water Power is tracking clusters of wind-related power outages. On Wednesday afternoon, 2,300 DWP customers lost power, with the Chatsworth and Reseda areas the most heavily affected, according to the utility.
Gusty offshore winds will persist throughout Thursday, and then the wind should subside, NWS forecasters said.
In Los Angeles County, the red flag warning applied everywhere but the Antelope Valley. Specifically cited were the Santa Monica and San Gabriel mountains; the Angeles National Forest; the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and San Gabriel valleys; and the so-called Los Angeles coastal zone, which runs from Malibu to the Hollywood Hills.
The Los Angeles Fire Department announced it "will pre-deploy additional resources," sending additional firefighters and equipment to 10 stations serving Porter Ranch, Bel Air, Beverly Glen, the UCLA campus, Sun Valley, Shadow Hills, La Tuna Canyon, the Hollywood Hills, Encino, Woodland Hills, Sylmar, San Fernando (which is served by the LAFD even though it is outside Los Angeles), Laurel Canyon, Beverly Glen and West Hills, Chatsworth Lake and Canoga Park.
The Fire Department also imposed "red flag parking restrictions," with signs barring parking on streets that firetrucks otherwise might have difficulty navigating.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, meanwhile, issued a public reminder about the current heat wave and urged parents and pet owners to make sure neither kids nor animals are left in parked vehicles.

Dynamo midfielder Boniek Garcia is certainly rounding into form this season, and his performance last weekend against the Columbus Crew earned him Team of the Week honors from MLSsoccer.com. Here's what they had to say about him:
Had a dominant showing on Houston's right flank in their 3-1 win over the Columbus Crew, helping set up two goals as he showed the form that made him one of signings of the season last year.
The smiling Honduran was surely happy with the team's result on Saturday, and again yesterday with the news of former Olimpia teammate Alexander López joining the Dynamo yesterday.
You can see Boniek's first assist to Will Bruin here, and his cross to Bruin that Cam Weaver finishes off here.

|This was part of a trip to reach the top of all the 7,000 foot mountains in South Dakota. The fire tower was manned during my visit. I visited with the ranger for quite some time because he knew much about the history and wildfires that had occurred in the Black Hills. The panorama was the best of all the summits I visited even though Bear Mountain isn't much to look out as far as mountains go.

|I thought that this peak sounded familiar but wasn't quite sure. Anyways I dug out the old Black Hills National Forest map and sure enough I was able to confirm that I have been there. I remember hiking up and getting to the tower which was manned. I also recall there being trucks up there since there is a road that leads to the top.

|Beautiful fall colors and brilliant blue skies make my first trip up Bear Mountain a memorable one. It was disappointing to see that all trail markers and signs had been removed. But, finding our way to the top, was still not too difficult. It took about 75 minutes to reach the summit from the Boy Scout Camp, and about 65 minutes to get back. Before heading back down, we traveled down the trail in search of the correct route for the loop, but the lack of any markers forced us to turn back.

As anyone who loves both the Raptors and ESPN will know, it's very rare that the Raps get any attention from ESPN. I'm on their site everyday praying that by some chance an in depth article about Toronto will surface. Usually I get nothing but a really poorly written game recap and nothing more.
That all changed today! About 2 hours ago an article about the Toronto Raptors titled "Toronto's Turnaround" was published by Joe Kaiser on ESPN.com. Unfortunately for me, a native Torontonian now going to university in Calgary, This is an ESPN insider artcile and I do not have the kind of money to become a regular ESPN Insider, even though it's easily the first thing on my wishlist every year.
This is why I come to you, my fellow Raptors fans of Raptors Republic, could someone who is an ESPN insider possibly look up the article for me an copy and paste it here? Or if you're morally against doing that, could you at the very least summerize it for me in as much detail as you'd like, the more the better of course.
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
P.S. Here's a link to the article itself: http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/nba/rumors/post?id=2930

I have a great problem:
when my Zonealarm scans for virus it finds a virus called "Trojan-PSW.Win32.Agent.qdy" in my Outlook PST-file.
(This file is called "outlook.pst" and it contains all my Outlook-2007 contacts, emails and whatever belongs to it.)
Then Zonealarm put the file in quarantine.
From now on (that is logical) I cannot access anymore to my saved Outlook-emails and contact because the "PST-file" is in quarantine.
Then I tell Zonealarm to repair the PST-file (in my German version of ZoneAlarm called "recover, rebuild").
Now everything seems to be O.K. and Outlook 2007 is running well.
But the next time I make a virus-scan, Zonealarm discovers again the virus "Trojan-PSW.Win32.Agent.qdy" and puts it into quarantine and I cannot use my Outlook-data anymore.
How can I find out the infected email (or whatever it is) and just delete this special infected email and not the whole PST-file to save all my data
What can I do?

Here are some of the notable quotes from around Major League Baseball this week:
"From the moment I walked into this clubhouse, I felt a sense of energy, a really good feeling. To me, everybody showing up is just part of that. I think we have something good here."
-- Eddie Guardado after everyone on the 25-man roster as well as the injured Luis Mendoza attended the Rangers' team dinner before the season opener. Guardado said the only other times he's seen perfect attendance at such a dinner was with the Twins in 2002 and 2003. (Dallas Morning News)
"He's got such a good arm that my concern is coming in and throwing strikes. If he throws strikes, he might stay in against right-handers. I think initially what we'll try to do is get him in situations where he faces more left-handed hitters and let him get comfortable."
--Houston Astros manager Cecil Cooper on rookie left-handed reliever Wesley Wright, who made his Major League debut Monday night in San Diego. (Houston Chronicle)
"This is always an exciting time of the year. There are a lot of prognosticators and predictions and things like that, but baseball is such a funny sport. You just can't know until you start playing them for real, so I'm glad to get it started and really determine how we're going to be between the lines rather than in the media. Everybody looks at a team on paper and makes certain predictions or says there's holes here and there. While some of that might have merit, you just don't know until you play. The game always sorts itself out. And as a player, it's good to get back in action."
-- Lance Berkman on the start of the regular season. (Houston Chronicle)
"We just want to play good today. My focus and my attention is on today and today solely. You just play the games, give it your best effort and leave everything you have on the field. It's that simple. It's a long year and eight- and nine- and 10-game leads in June don't mean anything. As much as everybody wants to make a big deal of it, it doesn't mean a thing. You've got to be prepared for the marathon."
--Milwaukee Brewers manager Ned Yost on his approach to the season this year, noting that the team started 24-10 last year and still didn't make the playoffs. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
"It's exciting to make the team out of camp and be here. It's going to be an exciting day but the goal is to be here and stay here and help out the rest of the season."
-- Justin Upton on making the Opening Day roster for the Diamondbacks. Upton is one of five Arizona players who appeared in their first Opening Day, joining Mark Reynolds, Jeff Salazar, Alex Romero and Yusmeiro Petit. (Arizona Republic)
"It feels good to finally get the word. When you've waited this late, everyone gets a little nervous."
--Reliever Joe Smith after learning he made the Mets' 25-man roster for Opening Day. Smith had a 6.43 ERA in 13 spring appearances, but said the poor numbers stemmed from tinkering with his delivery. (Newsday)
"I think part of what makes Brian Brian is he wants to play every single day. And he's proven over the years to be a very durable player and he matches the durability with good performance. (But) I think that as we move into the season I think it is wise at times to give guys a day off, especially some veteran players. ... It's not that we want guys out of the lineup, because he's one of our best players. But there are times when a guy gets a day off here or there and he does comes back fresher after a day off. That's what he's got to understand maybe 15 or 20 times this year."
--San Diego manager Bud Black on Padres outfielder Brian Giles, who is recovering from knee surgery performed last October. Black said he plans to rest Giles against some tough left-handers and when the team plays day games after night games. (San Diego Union-Tribune)
"But I took a nap, got some medication and did a little begging of [manager Ron Washington]. I've played enough games in my life to be able to make whatever adjustments I needed to. I felt OK once I got on the field."
-- Ian Kinsler on playing Monday despite battling a 103-degree temperature during the day. He went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts as the leadoff man in the Rangers' 5-2 loss to Seattle. (Dallas Morning News)
"At least I'll be able to feel my hands every at-bat. That's a nice change."
-- Craig Monroe, formerly of the Detroit Tigers and now with the Twins, contemplating playing early season home games in a dome. (St. Paul Pioneer Press)
"There will be some things that I'll have to do before the game, some things I'll do less of, and there might be some things I won't be able to do every time."
-- Anthony Reyes, who had a lengthy preparation routine as a starter, discussing adjustments he'll make for working out of the Cardinals' bullpen. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
"I don't know if he's going to be Ichiro. There aren't many guys like that. But he played good in Japan, put good numbers up and was an MVP if I'm not mistaken, so he can play."
-- Chicago Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez, talking about the potential of teammate Kosuke Fukudome. (Chicago Tribune)
"Drink water."
-- Carlos Zambrano, who had to leave his start on Opening Day after experiencing cramps, on how to best avoid that problem in the future. (Chicago Sun-Times)
"If I got them out 1-2-3, I'd be giving people false hopes. 'This is what I do all the time.'"
-- Indians closer Joe Borowski, who's been know to work out of a jam. (Akron beacon Journal)
"Knowing the team that we have and the lineup that we have, I shouldn't not be able to win 20 games if that happens."
-- Cole Hamels, who expects to win 20 games with the Phillies' strong lineup behind him. (Philadelphia Daily News)
"I'm so messed up right now, I don't know what just happened. But can guarantee you this much: John Russell will never forget this game."
-- First baseman Adam LaRoche, after the Pirates defeated Atlanta in a wild affair on Opening Day, 12-11 in 12 innings. The game was the first for manager John Russell. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
"I try to get guys swinging harder. ... That one's a slow one, really slow. The curveball is down so they can't put the bat on it."
-- Minnesota Twins pitcher Livan Hernandez, on working in pitches that register, on occasion, under 60 mph on the radar gun. (St. Paul Pioneer Press)
"I'm sure I'll be a little bit nervous and a little bit anxious. I've got to get my emotions in check before I go to the mound. I'm looking forward to it."
--Braves pitcher Mike Hampton on making his first appearance in the Majors in over 2 ½ years, scheduled for Thursday night against the Pirates. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
"For me, it's special. They're all exciting ...You play long enough, eventually you just wait your time out and stay ready. This was going to be the first time [as a backup] for me and eventually it will when Jeremy comes back."
-- Luis Gonzalez on making his 18th consecutive Opening Day start. Gonzalez did not figure to extend the streak when he signed with Florida but got the starting nod when Jeremy Hermida landed on the disabled list. (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
"This is a guy that's always had good jumps and angles on baseballs. You've seen him on pop-ups and fly balls. He's always been one of our better guys on that, so I think you could put Felipe at second, short, third, right, center, left and I think he could play any of those positions."<.BR>
--Nationals general manager Jim Bowden on having infielder Felipe Lopez shag balls in the outfield during batting practice. (Washington Post)
"We've got four good outfielders, man. You can't go wrong with whoever's in the lineup. You have to deal with it."
--Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp on sitting out the second game of the season after starting on Opening Day. (Los Angeles Times)
"I was hoping I wouldn't use him Opening Day. He's our long guy."
-- Giants manager Bruce Bochyafter using Keichi Yabu, who had not appeared in a Major League game since 2005. (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Today I'm fighting, I'm getting [ticked] off for no reason. Not to my teammates or anybody on my side, but I don't want to speak to anybody, I'm growling at everybody, trying to make myself not approachable."
-- Torii Hunteron how he approached his return to Minnesota, where he played for parts of 11 seasons before signing with the Angels as a free agent this past off-season. (Los Angeles Times)
"This is a game of averages. If you're a .280 hitter, you're a .280 hitter. If you're a .300 hitter, you're a .300 hitter. But for us, with the exception of a few people in here, we're still trying to find out where we're supposed to be situated in those averages. It's unpredictable for a lot of us, and we've got a lot of guys who can surprise you."
--A's pitcher Huston Streeton the unpredictable nature of the club after losing stars like Dan Haren and Nick Swisher in the off-season. (San Francisco Chronicle)
"On an off-speed pitch, ideally, what you'd like to do is not have to try to add on. When you add on ... you end up grounding out or popping up. You just try to stay flat through the zone and not try to drive everyone in. You just try to play it one run at a time." -- Raul Ibanez, explaining the approach he took when he drove in a run with a single on an off-speed pitch from Kevin Millwood with two runners on and no outs in the sixth inning.

If you can't prove it, fine. You don't have to. But, don't go running your mouth about people and saying things that you yourself can't even prove about them.

European shares edged higher on Friday, with heavyweight miners and exporters supported by stronger-than-expected Chinese data, but concerns about the upcoming corporate earnings season kept key indexes below recent multi-month highs.
Chinese retail sales and industrial output rose more than expected in December, helping fourth-quarter economic growth to accelerate for the first time in two years.
The better performance from the world's top metals consumer followed on from stronger US jobs and housing data the previous session and helped boost miners, with the basic resources sector up 0.3 percent.
"We've got good numbers out of China, we had some good number out of US yesterday ... The general sentiment is pretty good," said Neil Marsh, strategist at Newedge.
"There will probably be some phases of consolidation as we go forward, but the markets remain pretty resilient," Marsh added. "More people are putting their cash to work now in riskier assets, like equities, and there is no sign of that stopping at the minute."
The FTEurofirst 300 was steady at 1,165.80 points by 10:46 SA time, in sight of a two-year high of 1,170.29 set last week. The EuroSTOXX 50 added 0.3 percent to 2,724.71, eyeing its recent 18-month peak.
But traders said the market was likely to struggle to break past those highs ahead of the weekend, with investors concerned about the European fourth-quarter earnings season which kicks off in earnest on Monday.
"What we need (to push higher) is strong results from companies, and expectations are quite low," said Anita Paluch, sales trader at Gekko Capital Markets.
European companies are expected to report a 1 percent year-on-year drop in earnings, on average, against forecast for 2.1 percent for US peers, according to Thomson Reuters StarMine.
On the flip side, low expectations could make it easier for European companies to deliver positive surprises.
French car maker Renault added 2.3 percent after pledging a return to sales growth this year.
Investors are meanwhile set to lose a big slice of downside protection with the expiry of January options, which could leave the market more vulnerable in case of any selloff. Maturing puts - which give investors the right to sell the EuroSTOXX 50 at a pre-set price - outnumber call bets by some 68 percent.
With the euro zone blue chip index up around 3 percent in the past month, the vast majority of the puts will expire worthless, in line with the trend seen since mid-2012.
For investors still wishing to protect their holdings but unwilling to spend more money to do so, strategists at BNP Paribas recommend buying an at-the-money February put on EuroSTOXX 50 and selling the equivalent contract on US S&P 500 or on the German DAX, where they expect economic growth - and thus corporate earnings - to hold up better. - Reuters

No. 3 prospect Anderson has fractured right wrist
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
CHICAGO -- Tim Anderson, the White Sox top pick in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft and the team's No. 3 prospect, will miss the next four to six weeks with a fracture in his right wrist.
Anderson sustained the injury approximately 10 days ago when he was hit by a pitch, according to White Sox director of player development Nick Capra, but continued to play until the wrist slowly got worse. X-rays showed a fracture that will not require surgery, but he will be checked periodically to see how the wrist is healing.
The 21-year-old was hitting .298 with six homers, seven triples and 18 doubles, to go with 10 stolen bases and 48 runs, for Class A Winston-Salem at the time the fracture was discovered.
Petricka latest in committee to notch save
CHICAGO -- Jake Petricka kept the baseball after recording the save on May 19 in Kansas City because it was the first save of his career. The White Sox right-hander didn't get another save opportunity until Friday in Toronto, but he claims the pressure felt about the same as in all the seventh and eighth innings he'd worked during the previous five weeks.
"There's a rush pitching every time. That's the enjoyment of the game," Petricka said. "Just if anything, it's more focused. You don't want to fall behind the hitter. That's never a good thing. It's all about attacking the strike zone no matter what inning it is -- the first or the ninth."
The offseason trade of Addison Reed -- who recorded 69 saves over the past two seasons -- combined with Ronald Belisario's ninth-inning struggles, as well as injuries suffered by Nate Jones and Matt Lindstrom, produced a closer by committee. Five pitchers have recorded saves for the White Sox in 2014, including Scott Downs, who is no longer with the team.
The ninth-inning role could go to Petricka, Zach Putnam or even recent left-handed callup Eric Surkamp. Regardless of which pitcher Robin Ventura chooses, the White Sox manager believes it's a new responsibility that is part of a beneficial long-term learning process for the young hurlers.
"You become more experienced in different situations that you come in," Ventura said. "You start getting in at the end of the game when you are pitching for somebody's win, and that creates a different element than just pitching in a big league game. There's your teammate, it's his win and it becomes important. That's when you start stretching these guys a little bit experience wise."
"We just treat it as the seventh or eighth inning, because you never know who it's going to be based on the matchups," Petricka said. "Just add the ninth inning as another matchup inning, and we'll all be ready whenever our name is called."
White Sox pitchers have friendly soccer rivalry
CHICAGO -- Team USA's attempt to reach the World Cup quarterfinals certainly was front and center prior to Tuesday's doubleheader action against the Angels at U.S. Cellular Field. The game was shown on the center-field scoreboard during batting practice, while the ChiSox Bar & Grill was open early for fans to watch the contest.
For White Sox pitchers Jose Quintana and Andre Rienzo, the World Cup focus extends to Friday afternoon, when Colombia takes on Brazil. Quintana is a native of Colombia, and his good friend, Rienzo, is a proud Brazilian.
"I'm so happy with my country. But I'm not going to talk to Rienzo anymore until after the game," Quintana said with a laugh. "Everybody in Colombia is talking about that game."
Brazil, the host country for the World Cup and one of the competition's stronger teams, was expected to get to the quarterfinals. Quintana joked that Colombia's victory over Uruguay last Saturday was a little bit bigger in his home country than his win over Mark Buehrle on Sunday in Toronto.
"Soccer is the first sport in Colombia," Quintana said. "I'm so happy with the final score, and Colombia played real good. The next game will be harder."
White Sox rallying All-Star support for Sale
CHICAGO -- If not for an absence of 35 days due to a flexor muscle strain in his left arm, there would be no question about Chris Sale's All-Star candidacy for the 2014 season. But even with Sale's injury-induced inactivity, the White Sox still believe Sale belongs in his third Midsummer Classic.
"You are also trying to win the game, so you are trying to take the best guys," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said regarding Sale, who threw two scoreless innings in last year's All-Star Game. "He has done it over not this just year, but the last couple of years. That stuff to me, you are looking at a guy that's at the top of his game, whether he missed a little bit of time. He's still one of the better pitchers, and his numbers prove it out."
"I really don't think there's much debate that he's one of the best pitchers in the American League," White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers said. "I would guess the majority of teams would agree, especially guys in our division."
Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com -- online or on a mobile device -- using the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Experian until Thursday at 10:59 p.m. ET. The 2014 All-Star Game will be played at Target Field on Tuesday, July 15 on FOX.
Pitchers are selected by their peers or by AL manager John Farrell, and Sale figures to get plenty of support in either corner. Through 12 starts, Sale has posted a 2.30 ERA. He has fanned 84, walked 16 and allowed 54 hits over 78 1/3 innings. Opponents have hit .194 against him, while Josh Hamilton and Gregor Blanco are the only left-handed hitters to produce hits against Sale in 51 plate appearances.
Jose Abreu and Alexei Ramirez also figure to get serious All-Star consideration among the White Sox if they are not voted in by the fans.
Third to first
• Right-handed hurler Mitchell Boggs was released Tuesday by Triple-A Charlotte to make room for Henry Rodriguez. Boggs, an offseason free-agent addition by the White Sox, posted a 9.50 ERA over 25 games with the Knights, allowing 64 hits and 17 walks over 36 innings pitched.
• Winston-Salem outfielder Jacob May has been named Carolina League Player of the Week for June 23-29 after hitting .533 (16-for-30) with four doubles, two triples, 12 runs scored and nine stolen bases in seven games. May, 22, ranks third in the Carolina League with 28 stolen bases this season.
• Ventura didn't take long to respond when asked if the Angels' Mike Trout would be the young player he would build a franchise around.
"Yes, he would be the guy. THE guy," Ventura said. "There is not anything that he doesn't do. He can hit anywhere in the important spots in the lineup, play anywhere in the outfield. I don't think there is anybody in the league that does what he does."

U.S. District Judge Price Marshall said the terms of the settlement passed legal muster, but he set a fairness hearing for Jan. 13-14 for the agreement to become official.
Since 1989, the state has spent more than $1 billion on desegregation efforts in the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County school districts. The lawsuit was filed in 1982, but its roots extend to the acrimonious integration of Little Rock public schools in 1957, during which President Dwight Eisenhower sent in federal troops to ensure nine black students could attend Little Rock Central High School.
Under the proposed agreement, the special payments would end with the 2017-18 school year.
Until then, annual payments of $37.3 million for Little Rock, $20.8 million for Pulaski County and $7.6 million for North Little Rock would continue. The last year of the payments would be for facilities, but could not to be used for athletics or administration buildings.
Parties to the lawsuit reached an accord, though attorney John Walker, who represents black school patrons in Little Rock, didn't come aboard until Monday night. Walker said he held out for special language in the settlement to address what he says are inadequacies in the education of African-American students living in Little Rock.
Walker said that if the Little Rock district doesn't follow through, he would file another lawsuit.
Two years ago, U.S. District Judge Brian Miller ordered an immediate end to the desegregation payments, but the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said he hadn't given everyone involved a full hearing. The state subsequently asked to end the payments altogether, and a federal court hearing was set for Dec. 9 on its request. In advance of that hearing, the sides negotiated an end date.
Marshall now has left open the possibility of a trial, which would be conducted in early 2014 if the settlement isn't approved or if the accord somehow breaks down.
The Little Rock and North Little Rock districts have been declared unitary — or substantially desegregated — by federal judges, but the Pulaski County district has not yet achieved that distinction.
The pact allows Pulaski County to remove the Jacksonville area from its jurisdiction so the city can form its own school district. Parents have pushed for a Jacksonville school district for years, and lawyers said allowing that to happen would help move the remainder of the district toward unitary status.

adopt a best friend, this saturday!
Miku is posing with a pair of my favorite Seychelles shoes in honor of Lord & Taylor's Perfect Pairs Pet Adoption Day! This Saturday, June 23rd from 1PM-5PM, Lord & Taylor will be hosting rescued pets who are available for adoption. I'm hoping that all of the animals will find loving new homes! Read more about the adoption event and its participants here. Please spread the word and get these animals adopted! Remember, it's in all of their stores – not just NYC!
If you're a longtime reader, you probably already know the stories behind my animal friends. People ask me all the time who Miku's breeder was, but not only is she a mutt, like her mama – she's adopted! Here's the story behind my four fur babies: I adopted Miku from one of Tessa's schoolmates (when she was in elementary school), Kitty Boos was a flea-bitten, roughed up stray kitten found near my mom's ranch, and Vester and Lacy (biological siblings) were part of a litter who were dumped on the side of a road. All my life, we have always adopted or rescued animals. There are so many homeless animals in need of a loving family!
My sister's dog, Axle (the giant dog who frequents my instagram) was scheduled to be put to sleep the very day my sister found him. He is about as perfect as a dog can get: gentle, loving, smart, and well behaved. No one can ever believe that he was going to be put down! Her cat, Pinky, was also adopted from the pound – he was a very sick little kitten with a broken tail, and without pads on his feet. Knowing no one else in their right mind would adopt him, we took him home and doctored him up. Noticing a pattern, here? And if you think you can't get a purebred at a shelter, you're wrong. My childhood buddy Teddy, the best Golden Retriever who ever lived, was proof of that. I hope that all of you animal lovers will consider adopting when you are ready to introduce a furry friend into your home. And if you're ready now, please stop by Lord & Taylor this Saturday. You just might meet your match!
