In a move that has been anticipated since Buck Showalter took over as Orioles' manager in August, the club has agreed to terms with Mark Connor to become its new pitching coach.
Connor, 61, has been on Showalter's staff in each of the manager's three previous stints in the majors, including time as Showalter's pitching coach with the New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers.
Connor attended part of the Orioles' organizational meetings in Phoenix this week and a club source confirmed that Connor has reached an agreement to be the Orioles' pitching coach. He joins a staff that includes Jim Presley (hitting), Wayne Kirby (first base) and Rick Adair (bullpen).

Having been a fan of Spider-Man for years, the kid inside of me is always excited when a new Spider-Man game hits the shelves. The Amazing Spider-Man is more than just a game though, it's an extension of the movie which I also thoroughly enjoyed. Following up from the movie, this title is set in the aftermath of Dr. Connors' discovery. Needless to say, there are spoilers for the movie.

NIV or King James is a presentation given by a Christian man from Australia named Les Garrett, regarding the history of the greek manuscripts used to create what is presently known as the "NU" text--the text underlying many of the newer Bible translations. These are presented in contrast to the "Received" or "Majority" text which was used for the King James Version (and the NKJV). The entire presentation is here--less the introduction--in 6 segments.

Series: Blood of Eden, #1
Genre: YA - Paranormal/Dystopia
Publication: April 24, 2012 by Harlequin Teen
Format: Hardcover
Source: Library
Rating: ★★★★★
Synopsis: "In a future world, vampires reign. Humans are blood cattle. And one girl will search for the key to save humanity."
Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a vampire city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten.
Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of "them." The vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself is attacked--and given the ultimate choice. Die...or become one of the monsters.
Faced with her own mortality, Allie becomes what she despises most. To survive, she must learn the rules of being immortal, including the most important: go long enough without human blood, and you will go mad.
Then Allie is forced to flee into the unknown, outside her city walls. There she joins a ragged band of humans who are seeking a legend--a possible cure to the disease that killed off most of humankind and created the rabids, the mindless creatures who threaten humans and vampires alike.
But it isn't easy to pass for human. Especially not around Zeke, who might see past the monster inside her. And Allie soon must decide what--and who--is worth dying for.
Thoughts: Well, where to start? I have to say that I am still surprised at how much I loved this book; I am almost speechless (but not really.) While I haven't read Kagawa's Iron Fey series, I have heard only fantastic things about and was really excited to start this new series. I was blown away from the start by The Immortal Rules and am so glad I picked it up. I loved her writing, characters, and everything else about the book. Kagawa hooked me in with an amazing story and her wonderful world-building skills. I loved this book from beginning to end and can not say enough about it.
The story starts off in New Covington, a town run by vampires who feed off of humans. No sparkly vampires here. In exchange for their blood, humans receive food and protection. In the outskirts of town, the Unregistereds hide and struggle for survival. Allison, our protagonist, has always lived in the Fringe and refuses to become part of the human cattle for the vampires, who she loathes. Instead, with her small gang, she keeps herself alive by stealing and hunting down food. Determined to survive and keep her small "family" alive, she goes to great lengths and danger to keep food on the table. Spilt into several parts, we get a feel for Allison while she is human, and we quickly understand her hatred for the vampires who control her town. She is definitely a courageous girl, who proves it when she risks her life to save her friend. When she is viciously attacked by rabids (think: vampire zombies!) she is on the brink of death, but offered the chance for immortality. Like any human, she is terrified of dying and only wants to live, that she lets the vampire turn her into what she hates the most. Then the story really takes off.
Every single character in The Immortal Rules is written with depth, an amazing feat I thought, since there were a lot of different kinds, but each relatable in their own right. Allison (aka Allie, but I don't think it sounds as good) was a compelling character that I really loved. She was brave, but stubborn as hell; she cared for those she got to know and is definitely bad-ass and not afraid to kick some butt. I really liked Kanin and really wanted to see more of him because we learn so little about him; he was a great vampire: handsome, scary, mysterious, brooding *sigh*
Of course, there had to be a bit of romance involved, but it's not what you think! When Allison comes across the stragglers trying to find a legend, she meets Zeke. And no, it's not insta-love. In fact, he has a gun pointed to her face and is weary of trusting her. After a while though, she is accepted into their group, where she must learn to hide her true nature and fight against herself as she struggles with her thirst for human blood. Zeke is the kind of guy that we love to love. He is, first off, good looking, really sweet, caring, brave and a great guy all around.
The world-building was pretty much awesome. Part dystopian, part paranormal, Kagawa created an amazing world that I could see clearly and wanted to learn more of.
The concept of The Immortal Rules was surprisingly fresh and the plot was captivating. All the characters were amazingly written , the villain(s) were despicable, and the setting was pretty much perfect.
This book had a little bit everything -- suspense, action, adventure, romance, gore -- and I loved how gripping the story was. I was thoroughly impressed with Kagawa's ability to engage the reader from the start and giving us a thrilling and unique take on an extremely popular genre that I thought I would be bored with soon. The Immortal Rules definitely piqued my vampire interest once again and I really looking forward to the rest of the series.
Overall: I definitely recommend this to other fans of this author¹ and to others looking for a refreshing, but oddly familiar, take on vampires and zombie-like creatures. The Immortal Rules is definitely a new favorite book for me and I can't wait to read more by Kagawa!

Think you'll love The Immortal Rules as much as I did? I think so too! Thanks to the Harlequin Teen, I have a hardcover copy of The Immortal Rules to offer to one reader!

Two of the three private health insurers selling policies on the "Obamacare" marketplace in Montana say they're still planning only small increases for 2018, assuming the landmark health-care law will be enforced and unchanged.
"We're sticking with the rates that we have now," said Larry Turney, president of the Montana Health Co-op, which has about 18,000 customers with individual policies in the state.
The Co-op plans to raise premiums next year by an average of 4 percent, while PacificSource, with about 12,000 customers in Montana, has a 7.4 percent average hike for its individual policies.
But the third and biggest company selling in the Montana marketplace -- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana – is standing pat on a 20 percent average increase for its policies, based on a different assumption: That the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") may not be strongly enforced by the Trump administration, leading to potential higher costs for insurers.
Blue Cross has about 32,000 customers buying individual policies in Montana.
The companies have until next Tuesday to file any changes to proposed rates they filed earlier this summer with the state auditor's office.
The rates will be made final early this fall, and sign-up for policies starts Nov. 1.
All three companies said they're not planning to file for any major changes next week – although Blue Cross hopes to offer a slightly different and lower-priced product for individuals who don't get federal subsidies to help them pay for the policy.
Blue Cross spokesman John Doran told MTN News this week that federal subsidies likely will offset any increase in premiums for most people buying health-insurance policies through the Obamacare online marketplace. The subsidies are available for most people earning up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $81,000 for a family of three.
Yet for the few thousand people who buy individual polices but don't use the marketplace, and can't get a subsidy, the new product would have only a 3 percent increase, he said.
Blue Cross plans to file plans for the new product next week, Doran said, and is working with the state auditor's office on whether it will be accepted.
The online health-insurance "marketplace" is a key element of the ACA, the 2010 health-care overhaul signed into law by then-President Barack Obama – although it affects only a small part of the overall health insurance market.
It was designed to make policies more affordable for individuals who don't have access to group health coverage at work, by offering them competing private plans and government subsidies to help cover cost. Only 6 percent to 7 percent of Montanans are covered by individual policies.
Policies in Montana have seen substantial increases since the marketplace launched in 2013, although federal subsidies have increased proportionately for most of those buying on the marketplace.

Participating in JFreeChart Development
This page provides information for individuals that wish to participate as developers on the JFreeChart project. Our aim is to make it as easy as possible to contribute to the development of JFreeChart, while providing just enough structure to keep everything (relatively) coordinated. Developers interested in participating should:
- subscribe to the jfreechart-developer mailing list -- please introduce yourself and tell us what you'd like to work on (if you know already, that is);
- help out with support in the JFreeChart forum. Please resist the temptation to flame people that ask "dumb" questions---we like to keep it friendly. If a question is answered in the FAQ, provide a link to the entry. If a similar question has already been asked in the forum, provide a link to the post. Most people will eventually get the idea;
- review the bug, feature request and patches databases to get ideas for things to work on. All of these need work;
- start submitting patches to the jfreechart-patches mailing list, and provide feedback on patches posted by others.
Mailing Lists
The JFreeChart project operates two mailing lists:
- the jfreechart-developers mailing list --- this is for general discussion about the project, the place to ask questions, announce things you'd like to work on, comment on the road map, just about anything related to project participation;
- the jfreechart-patches mailing list --- this list is used to post patches for review and discussion. Subscribe to this list if you want to keep up with the day-to-day changes to the JFreeChart code base.
JFreeChart operates a Subversion repository at SourceForge. Developers will be granted Subversion commit rights once they have established their familiarity with and understanding of the project and how it operates. Typically this is achieved by contributing bug fixes and feature enhancements over a period of time. The JFreeChart 1.0.x source code resides on a branch 'jfreechart-1.0.x-branch'. The trunk contains code that will eventually become JFreeChart 2.0.
Patches should be created using 'svn diff > diff.txt' from JFreeChart's root directory, have a corresponding ChangeLog entry, and be posted to the jfreechart-patches mailing list for review. The following guidelines should be followed for all patches:
- the patch MUST be your own work;
- backwards compatibility MUST be preserved for the 1.0.x series of JFreeChart releases;
- all code MUST compile and run against JDK 1.3.1 (we are going to bump this soon, but didn't make the final decision yet);
- please format your code consistently with the existing source files, there is a Checkstyle configuration file available. No TABS in source files, ever. Always include Javadoc comments;
- changes should be backed up by JUnit tests wherever possible.
Special Note
A lot of code in JFreeChart relies on classes implementing equals(), Cloneable and Serializable correctly. When making changes, bear this in mind. If in doubt, run the test suite.
The ChangeLog is a text file in the project root directory that summarises all changes that have been committed to Subversion. Maintaining this file is a very effective technique for communicating between developers the changes that are going on in SVN. It allows developers to quickly catch up on what has changed in JFreeChart when they haven't been following all the discussions on the mailing lists. Maintaining the ChangeLog and posting patches to the mailing list is an overhead, but it quickly becomes a familiar process and really does help development (at least that has been my experience on larger projects such as GNU Classpath). Here is some information about the ChangeLog entry format.
Please post any feedback to the developer mailing list, we'll be happy to take suggestions into consideration. Thanks!

Experience everything the Arctic has to offer in the winter months. The town of Ilulissat, 300 km north of the Polar Circle is THE place to explore winter pursuits such as dog sledging and iceberg cruising – all while staying at the comfortable 4-star Hotel Arctic.
Guaranteed departures from Reykjavik every Saturday from 16 February to 06 April 2019. This is a fully escorted tour to West Greenland and includes five guided excursions.
As soon as the sky turns dark in Greenland, you have good chances of experiencing the Northern Lights. This magical natural phenomenon can be seen in the Arctic from September to the beginning of April; thus we cannot guarantee that you will see them during your trip. When staying at Hotel Arctic, we suggest walking along a wooden boardwalk towards the ocean and metal-igloos (250 m). From there you have a fantastic view over the fjord and of the Aurora if the weather conditions are suitable.
When visiting Greenland, most people want to see the icebergs, and the destination to see icebergs is without doubt Ilulissat. Due to the town's location north of the Polar Circle, there is also a good chance of seeing Northern Lights in Ilulissat.
The Arctic winter landscape opens up beneath you just before the flight lands in Ilulissat, and even before you have set foot in the small Greenlandic town, you will understand why the Ilulissat Icefiord is a UNESCO world heritage site.
Travelling by dog sledge with your Inuit hunter to isolated villages or the fishing grounds on the frozen fjords is a journey into the world of the old polar explorers. Iceberg cruises on the Ilulissat Icefiord provide the perfect opportunity to get close to these gigantic sculptures created by nature.
Day 1, Saturday: Arrival in Greenland, Ilulissat City Walk & Welcome DinnerAir Iceland flight from Reykjavík domestic airport to Ilulissat in West Greenland, about 3 hours. Meet and greet and transfer to the hotel for an information meeting and guided city walk. You have some time to explore the town, visit the local museum and observe Greenlandic life at the always busy harbour. After a welcome dinner, you should step into the darkness and check if the Northern Lights are visible. These spectacular sky-light shows are also known as the Aurora Borealis and are frequently seen in Greenland from September through April on clear and crisp nights. White and green are usually the dominant colours of Northern Lights, but sometimes there are considerable colour variations. They are ephemeral; however, sightings are not guaranteed.
Included meals: Welcome dinner at Hotel ArcticAccommodation: Hotel Arctic
Day 2, Sunday: Dog Sledge AdventureWe leave the civilized world and enter the Arctic wonderland of low passes, ice-covered fjords where icebergs rise like sculptures. We travel back in time into the world of the old polar explorers - all you hear is the sound of the sledge moving over the ice and the shouts of encouragement your driver makes to control his dogs. The route will depend on actual snow and ice conditions. Only operated when there is snow - expected from early/mid-December to late March. Rent of fur clothes included. You have to be in good physical shape to join a dog sledge tour. Duration: 2 hours - Only operates with two persons per sledge.
Be careful not to go to bed too soon in this remote and quiet location, or you may miss out one more chance of seeing the Northern Lights shimmering and dancing across the night sky.
Day 3, Monday: Home Visit, Iceberg Cruise & Farewell DinnerJoin a local family for a cup of coffee. The Greenlanders are famous for welcoming visitors into their homes, inviting everyone over for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. The latest gossip is shared, and it will also be possible to see the national costume and learn about life so very isolated from the rest of the world.
Ilulissat is world famous for its icebergs, and a cruise provides the perfect opportunity to get close to these gigantic sculptures created by nature. Only operated when there is open water. Duration: 2½ hours (approx.) incl. refreshments. The rest of the day is free at leisure to explore Ilulissat or book an optional sightseeing flight. After the farewell dinner, don't forget to keep an eye out for the Northern Lights. If conditions look good, take a little walk along a wooden boardwalk towards the ocean and metal-igloos (250 m) to search for the Northern Lights. From there you have a fantastic view over the fjord and of a possible aurora light show.
Included meals: Breakfast and farewell dinner at Hotel Arctic
Day 4, Tuesday: Hike to the Icefiord & Travel back to IcelandBy car as far as the road goes followed by an easy hike to a viewpoint from where the icebergs at the mouth of the Icefiord can be seen. Air Iceland flight to Reykjavik around noon.
Included meals: Breakfast.

Cancellation policy for Greenland
Greenland is a country of mountains and ice. Greenlanders live for nature and want to preserve it the way it is. Animals live free and remain wild. Sled dogs are for transport and, unlike pet dogs, they are bred to be strong enough to pull a sledge carrying a person and the hunt of the day. Do not go petting them or come close to them without permission of the owner. If you hike and camp, do not litter. Leave Greenland as beautiful and pure as you found it.
Vegetarianism and veganism are becoming more and more common in the world; therefore, activists who are against slaughtering animals are growing in numbers. But know this, the Inuit have hunted for food for thousands of years. The animals we hunt live free in the wild. We do not club baby seals; we actually prefer big and fat ones. Do not come to Greenland if you're going to judge our way of life.
You will not find any chain stores in Greenland. There are no Starbucks, McDonald's, or Ikea. The country might be massive, but the population is only 60,000 and the culture is still very traditional and has not been fully affected by Western influence. So, if you can't live without your frappuccino or cheeseburger, don't come here.
When you go travelling in Europe or Southeast Asia, you can catch a bus easily to travel from town to town. Well, here you can't. Due to mountainous coasts where the towns are located — and the fact that towns are quite far away from each other — there is not yet any road between them. That's what makes Greenland such a unique destination.
If you want to go hiking, research everything you need to know about the area before you set off. You will not find any signs to lead you to places. And most places don't have cell phone coverage, so don't rely on Google Maps.
If you want to visit during summer, don't bring bikinis or shorts. The average temperature in the summer is 10-20°C (50-70 F), and with the dry air and cold wind from the icebergs and ocean, it really doesn't get hot.
If you visit during winter, be prepared. Bring reliable winter clothes such as Canada Goose jackets or any brand that has a wind stopper and sells waterproof items. The weather can get as low as minus 20°C (-4 F) in most towns — and in the most northern settlements, it can be minus 40°C (-40 F).
In any of the seasons, the wind is inevitable, and it can be brutal. During snowstorms, the wind can be up to 180 km/h (111 mph).
Greenland is an island, and the neighbouring countries are at least a 3-hour flight away. And there are only two airlines that do scheduled flights, one of which is only seasonal. The tickets aren't cheap.
Think about this, most products in the supermarket are imported from another country. In most cases, they are from Denmark. The price is most likely to be double or more in Greenland than in Denmark. Get this, and the further you travel north, the more expensive the prices are. A yoghurt that would cost $1 in Denmark can cost up to $5 in Greenland. If you want fresh veggies or fruit, well, expect it to cost a lot. Or just do what locals do, buy the frozen vegetables and canned fruit.
If you want to include alcohol on your shopping list, go to the store before 6 PM on weekdays, because after that, beer, wine, and any other liquor won't be available. And remember that on Saturdays, the liquor stores are open only from 9 AM to 1 PM. No sales on Sundays.
We Greenlanders are happy people. We enjoy nature, and we live a simple life. We love seeing foreigners coming to visit our beautiful country, and if you happen to greet one of us, there's a big chance we will invite you over to dinner. It doesn't often happen where a foreigner is bold enough to visit Greenland, so we take advantage of the company when it's here. In return, please be kind to the locals.

Two personal Hebrew seals
by Robert Deutsch
Two personal Hebrew seals of exceptional quality and interest have recently surfaced on the Israel antiquities market. [1]
The first seal to be discussed here (Fig. 1) is made of red carnelian measuring 9.9×14.1×6.5mm and has an oval form, a dome shape, a flat base and is perforated lengthwise. The seal is set in a silver pendant and fixed with a wire passing through the perforation without a bezel. The flat base is framed by an elliptical line and a four-winged scarab is depicted within the frame. The inscription, carved under the scarab, consists of three Hebrew letters of the late 8th century BCE and reads: zk' "Zaka", a hypocoristic personal name, literally meaning 'Be pure' (WSS, p. 495). A biblical parallel with the same meaning is the name zky 'Zakkay' (Ezra 2: 9; Neh. 7: 14).
Fig. 1
The name is rare in Hebrew epigraphic material and is attested on two identical seal impressions on storage jar handles of the late 8th century BCE, found at the Ein-Shems (Beth Shemesh) excavations: lksl' zk' "Belonging to Kisla (son of) Zaka", both to be found in the University Museum, Philadelphia (WSS 674a-b). The name is also found on an Aramaic seal: lzk' br mlkm'z "Belonging to Zaka, son of Milkom'az" (WSS 792). 'Milkom'az is a theophoric name meaning 'Milkom is mighty' and contains the Ammonite theophoric element 'Milkom' known from typical Ammonite personal names (WSS 860, 940). The name Zak-ki-i "Zakki" is also found as a witness on a cuneiform tablet from Gezer dated to 651 BCE (Becking 1981-2: 82-84).
The scarab iconography is depicted with four stretched wings pushing two tiny balls of dung, one with his fore legs and one with his hind legs. Such four-winged scarab beetles are well documented on Hebrew and West Semitic seals and seal impressions (WSS 59, 163, 475, 775, 832, 837, 987; Deutsch and Lemaire 2000: 112, 139). They are especially known from the so called lmlk seal impressions on storage jar handles positively dated to the late 8th century BCE, in the time of Hezekiah the King of Judah (Ussishkin 1977). The two-winged scarab was also the royal emblem of Hezekiah, proven by its appearance on two of his royal seals preserved in several seal impressions found on bullae (Cross 1999; Deutsch 2002).
Fig. 2
The second seal (Fig. 2) is made of white and brown banded agate, scaraboid, oval and perforated lengthwise. The seal measures 11.8×15.4×3.9mm. On the upper half the dome is missing. It is broken off at the perforation, which is the seal's weakest point. This may indicate that the seal, undoubtedly set in a ring, received a knock and the flat part was lost by its owner while the upper part remained in the ring. The seal's surface is divided into two registers by a single line. In the upper larger register a seated winged griffin is depicted. Placed around him are three symbols: a papyrus plant, an ankh-shaped stand and a nsw hieroglyph. In the lower register five 8th century BCE Hebrew letters are inscribed, which read: lsn, "Belonging to Ushna". Ushna is a Hebrew personal name unattested in the Bible. It is probably a shortened form of a theophoric name such as snyhw wit the root ws, to give (strength) (Fowler 1988: 335), meaning 'May Yahweh give (strength)' (Avigad 1979: 121). The name appears on four seals, on one of an Israelite royal official seal and on three Judean personal seals:
- lsn bd hz, "Belonging to Ushna, servant of Ahaz" (WSS 5)
- lksl sn, "Belonging Kisla, (son of) Ushna (Deutsch and Lemaire 2000: 19)
- lsn, "Belonging to Ushna (WSS 40)
- sn, "[Belonging to U]shna" (WSS 100)
The iconography consists of a seated winged griffin wearing the crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. Standing, climbing, seated or crouching griffins are very common emblems in the 8th century Hebrew and West Semitic iconography and are found on many personal seals, specially on Northern Israelite ones (WSS 44, 85, 116, 135, 143, 160, 168, 182, 190, 193, 198; Deutsch and Lemaire 2000: 6, 9, 10, 42, 100, 103, etc.).
The seals presented above are important additions to the growing corpus of West Semitic personal seals and seal impressions. They are valuable contributions to the increase and continuity of our knowledge of the history, individuals and events of biblical times.
- Yes, fabricated in ancient times.
- Indeed, the iconography is of Egyptian influence, but in my opinion its meaning was not borrowed.
- Thank you for sharing the post! It's so great to know more about the history and result of archeology

Scallops are bivalve animals in the phylum Molusca, a group that includes oysters, octopi, snails and squid. Scallops have two identical fan-shaped shells and up to 60 eyes. They travel by rapidly clapping their two shells together with their adductor muscles, producing a water jet that propels them forward.Continue Reading
Scallops can be found worldwide in the deep sea and intertidal areas. They are bottom dwellers that feed on plankton. Many scallop species are hermaphroditic, although some species have both males and females. They reproduce by spawning, releasing both sperm and eggs into the water. Predators include crabs, lobsters, fish and humans. The adductor muscle is edible and found in many cuisines.Learn more about Marine Life

I want you to know that throwing a pumpkin at our mailbox is NOT FUNNY! It's NOT Cute! And..its really just NOT nice! ...we don't find it amusing in ANY WAY!
If you are the SAME hoodlum that hits our mailbox with a baseball bat or whatever the heck it is about once a year...WHY DO YOU DO THAT?
If you are some punk teenager, I hope that when you are old enough to own your own house with your OWN mailbox that some hoodlum comes and throws a pumpkin at YOUR mailbox and breaks it! What comes around goes around!
AND if you're NOT a punk teenager and you are actually someone already old enough to own your own house with your own mailbox....that is just REALLY SAD! GROW UP!
I am sick and tired of having to replace our mailbox because FIRST you wanted to use it as batting practice and NOW you want to use it to test out your aim! You are MORE than welcome to destroy my mailbox....as long as you REPLACE it!
If you really want to beat up a mailbox, beat up your PARENTS' mailbox. BY THE WAY? Who are your parents? I would REALLY love to talk to them!

la crosse—August 14, 2012—The
Wisconsin Woodchucks and La Crosse Loggers needed 11 innings in La Crosse to
decide the victor of Game 2 of the Northwoods League South Division playoff
series, but it would be the Loggers who took the 8-7 victory, ending the
Woodchucks' 2012 season.
The Woodchucks would jump on the Loggers early in the first for the second consecutive evening. Madison Carter led the ballgame off with a base hit up the middle, and Brooks Braga followed that up with a double off the right-field wall to put two in scoring position with no outs. The next two batters, Eric Filia-Snyder and Brendon Hayden would both groundout, receiving RBI's as they drove in Carter and Braga respectively, giving the Woodchucks a 2-0 lead.
The Loggers wasted no time in countering the Woodchuck offense. After Woodchuck starter and Northwoods League Pitcher of the Year Jack Fischer recorded the first out, the next four Loggers would reach. Fischer walked Matt Chapman and allowed a double to Kevin Kramer. Rich Prigatano would then single to left field and bring home Chapman to make it a 2-1 game. With Kramer on third, Bobby Juan would also single, tying the game at two. The Loggers would proceed to take a 3-2 lead on a groundout by Brandon Bednar, touching Fischer up in the first.
After both starters exchanged zeroes in the second, the 'Chucks would take the lead back in the third. With two outs, Hayden homered to left field, his fifth home run of the season, four of which have come at the Lumberyard in La Crosse. The next batter was Fischer, who was both pitching and batting fifth. Fischer singled in front of a double by John Roberts. Fischer rounded third and headed toward home as left fielder Joe Meggs's throw came in. Fischer dove head first into home, beating the throw, and giving the Woodchucks a 4-3 lead as he pumped his fists toward the 'Chuck dugout.
The lead would not last long, however, as the Loggers struck again in the third. Lead-off batter Chapman hit a frozen rope over the left field wall for a home run off of Fischer, tying the game up at four runs apiece.
The game would stay tied up at four until the seventh inning when the Woodchucks would take the lead without recording a base hit. Jacob Dorris, All-Star reliever for the Loggers plunked both Bryant Munoz and Filia-Snyder and walked Braga and Hayden, Hayden's walk coming with the bases loaded to bring in a run. The third out in the inning came when Braga was thrown out trying to steal home, but the Woodchucks still led 5-4.
After Ben Burke put down the Loggers 1-2-3 in the seventh, the Woodchucks would double their lead in the eighth. Roberts, a pitcher at Iowa Western, hit a fly ball over the right field wall for a solo home run to give the Woodchucks a 6-4 lead as his teammates spilled out of the dugout to congratulate him.
The 'Chucks would tack on some insurance in the ninth with some small ball. Carter walked to lead off the inning and then stole second with Braga at the plate. Braga bunted, putting Carter on third with one out. Filia-Snyder hit a sacrifice fly to right to score Carter and give the Woodchucks a 7-4 lead heading to the bottom of the ninth.
After scoring nine runs in the ninth on Monday, the Loggers would hurt the Woodchucks again in the same inning, this time tying the game up. The first four batters all reached, the third a single by Brandon Bednar that scored Rich Prigatano. With the bases loaded and no outs, Joe Meggs hit a slow grounder toward Carter at short. Carter relayed to Pascal Paul, the second baseman, for the force there, but Paul's relay to first was wild, allowing a second run to score and tie the ballgame up at seven.
The game would need extra innings to decide the victors. With the bases loaded and no outs in the eleventh for the Loggers, the Woodchucks would pull Braga in from right field to be a fifth infielder. Jimmy Bosco hit a line-drive towards left, scoring Juan from third, giving the Loggers the win and ending the Woodchucks' season.
The Loggers will represent the South Division in the Summer Collegiate World Series as they will face the champions of the North Division.

So this a very simple bug that I found in PayPal back then in January 2015. I guess its Reproduction is the "Smallest Bug Reproduction Ever". Yes! that is right. So the bug is that when someone logs-in to his/her PayPal account, due to some cases i.e Login from unusual location, entering wrong password first and then entering correct password etc...
First of all thanks guys for your good responses on my first ever (previous) writeup. I'm back with another PoC. I don't have much time right now, I wanted to share another PoC but that will take huge time (Don't worry I will write it later) so I have decided to write this one...
I don't usually writeup my issues but I thought I should now starting sharing some of the issues which I've found. I mostly don't participate in Public Bug Bounties. I like to work for private sites. Like two months back, A company asked me to do the security test of their site. As always, I instantly started finding vulnerabilities in their site...

When tempted with excuses, why do we choose the donkey's way?
OT Reading: Deuteronomy 30:9-14
For Sunday, July 11: Year C — Ordinary 15
Humans are creatures with excuses.
Made by God with choice, not just instinct, we have a compelling capacity to make meanings. And we are especially prone to offer some in the form of self-defense, explanation, rationale, justification. The tempter offers Adam and Eve a rationale, and with it they take and eat. A good excuse is all we need for sin to be set in motion. We have that story in our minds and hearts: it's the art of deflection and we depend on deploying it daily. Even when God says it leads to death.
Called out from behind our excuses.
So it went with Israel, just as it did with Moses. Called out from behind his excuses, Moses led Israel out of Egypt, never completely shedding the habit. Through wilderness wanderings, marked with Moses' excuses and Israel's too, the moment comes when the River Jordan holds the promise of a new beginning. Kept from the Promise Land by the impact of his own faithless excuses, Moses offers in Deuteronomy a summary and sermon: a looking back for the sake of a looking forward.
The hinge on which Moses hangs the past and the future is the imminent faithfulness of God. Look to the past, replete with God's demonstrated love that hears, rescues, provides, forgives, sustains. Let this be your remembrance for it is also your hope: "…the Lord will again take delight in prospering you, just as he delighted in prospering your ancestors."
Stop with the excuses, already!
And in the meantime? Get on with the word that has already been given to you. Get on with doing with you already know to do. Stop with the excuses, already! Give up waiting for someone else from somewhere else to come and do what in fact you already to do know in your heart and mind. "No, the word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe."
We hate that. We say we just want to know what to do, but we don't. We prefer a good excuse. Moses says that excuses, however, are not a viable, defensible option. He should know. We would rather whine about needing to wait for more insight. We would rather lose ourselves in alleged complexity. We would rather blame someone for not showing up. Especially God. Moses says, we have two stories locked in our hearts and minds: our excuses and God's word.
The Hardest Question
On a Saturday before Palm Sunday, when our youngest son, Sam, was about 4, I read him a children's book about Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. It had a picture of Jesus on the donkey. Sam looked at the picture for a long time, stroking the image. Then, stroking his own chest, Sam said, "Daddy, Jesus is in my heart." "I am so glad you know that," I replied. Then, still stroking his chest, Sam continued, "But where is the donkey?" "Trust me, Sam, the donkey is there too. That's the problem: Jesus and the donkey are in our hearts!"
We tend the donkey of our deflections so well. It is at our command. We opt so readily for excuses and against life. So the crisis is: why is this counter-to-life alternative so captivating? The lure of excuses entrances us with the notion that we can have it both ways: excuses and life. We forget this is a lie. We have to learn again and again that it leads to death. And, when we do, we try and make things okay by offering an excuse first, long before our hearts are truly ready to confess.
Why is excuse an illusion we do not want to give up? Why do we put life itself in jeopardy and choose death so often and so well? Why do we choose the donkey's way?

Family of Three Ch. 01bydgharis©
A cabin in the woods; the master bedroom, upstairs. I'm lying on the bed in the dark; I cannot move, speak, or see. She moans; she is near me, but in the same condition.
Perhaps I should start from the beginning; it would be easier to understand that way ...
Call me Jane; that will do. I'm a normal Caucasian female from a normal family, five foot six, one hundred ten pounds, brown hair, brown eyes, average looks. I got good grades in school, graduated college with a business degree, moved out west, and got a good job. I saved up a bit, got a little place and some furniture; I'm doing well.
As for how I got into bondage, I grew up with it. The westerns, with the pretty heroine tied up by the dastardly villain, only to be rescued by the handsome hero; you get the picture. I always identified with the heroine; held captive, at the mercy of some evil man. Exciting stuff.
I never had the chance to indulge my fantasy in school; most of the guys were too straight, boring, or downright creepy. Not even in college, although there were one or two guys I had sex with. But once I got a job, my own place, and learned about the internet I was ready to go.
I surfed the net constantly, marveling at all the material out there. All kinds of stuff, from outfits to bonds to whips to whatever. And examples abounded; thousands of photos and videos. I made a few discreet purchases; once the packages arrived I was all set.
Friday night, after work. A nice leisurely supper, followed by a hot shower and hot coffee. I had prepared the day before by filling a small Tupperware container with water, tying the handcuff keys to a length of string, putting the keys in the container, and sticking it in the freezer; the idea is that you can't get free until the ice melts. It's a common method for self bondage, which is what I was about to do.
After I finished my coffee I retrieved the container from the freezer and headed into the bedroom. I stripped down to my panties, then sat down on the bed. I had tied lengths of rope to the footboard and headboard and tied a pair of handcuffs to each of them. I locked one pair around my ankles, then set the container on the floor next to the bed and tied the other end of the string to my thumb. Next I put a vibrator down the front of my panties so that it was up against my pussy, then strapped a ball gag into my mouth and slipped a sleep mask over my eyes. I switched the vibrator on and laid back, locking my wrists in the second pair of handcuffs above my head.
Now all I had to do was lie back and enjoy the ride. I tried the cuffs; no give. I couldn't get my hands or feet free or pull my hands down far enough to get the blindfold or gag off, let alone reach the vibrator. I relaxed and laid back to wait, while the vibrator did its work.
It worked all too well. I was aroused, nipples hard, pussy wet, flushed, and breathing heavily as it brought me ever closer to the edge. I resisted, trying to hold back, but it was relentless; finally I climaxed with a shudder.
It seems I miscalculated. I was sure the ice would be melted in a few minutes; wrong. I tugged at the container; nope, still frozen. The vibrator kept right on humming; I could not escape it, no matter how I wiggled and squirmed. I climaxed again. And again. And again ...
I was exhausted, sweating, panting, chest heaving; still the damn vibrator kept right on humming. If I ever catch that Energizer bunny I'll kill him for sure. And still the damned ice wasn't melted. I screamed, moaned, pleaded, whined, and whimpered, all to no avail; my remorseless friend kept right on going.
An interminable time later the keys finally came free and I could pull them in. I had lost track of time, of climaxes; I was exhausted, spent. I got my hands free, then immediately pulled the vibrator out and switched it off. Finally; I lay back on the bed and immediately dropped off to sleep.
In the morning I finished freeing myself, used the bathroom, then promptly climbed back into bed. Around noon I finally stirred enough to get up, dress, and fix some lunch. While I ate I reviewed the night's events.
First, I had seriously underestimated both the length of time it would take to melt the ice and the strength of the batteries in the vibrator. If anything had happened, well, I would have been in deep trouble. As it was I was still weak and sore from it. On the plus side I had had at least ten and possibly as many as fifteen climaxes; I didn't really know, but I never dreamed I could be pleasured for that long. Wow.
I spent the rest of the day lounging and surfing the net; no more for me for a while, thanks.
I had been poking around on the net when something caught my eye; I read it and found it intriguing. In retrospect I probably should have been more cautious, but I wasn't thinking that far ahead.
There was a wooded area near where I lived, about ten minutes away by car. It was privately owned, but not posted, so I didn't think anyone would mind if I had a little fun there.
A nice warm sunny Saturday afternoon; I put my things in the car and drove out there. I had Googled it; there was a cabin at the end of the road. About halfway up the road was a little trail which wound through the wood past a pond to the cabin; that would be perfect for what I had in mind.
I parked my car where the trail met the road. I figured I would have the place to myself; I had been here a couple of times before and never saw anyone here. (The fact that the trail's existence implied that it was in use didn't enter my head.) I had both sets of car keys with me; I took one set and headed up the trail. By the pond I found a particularly large tree; I tied a loop of string to the keys and hung them on a low branch, then headed back to my car.
Back at the car. After a look around to make sure I was alone I opened the trunk, undressed, and laid my clothes in the trunk. One pair of handcuffs connected by a short chain went around my ankles; I could only take baby steps now. Another pair of handcuffs was locked to a chain around my waist behind my back. A leather gag with a thick insert went into my mouth; a padlock secured it. Weighted clamps went on my nipples; a lubed dildo into my pussy, secured with another chain through my crotch and locked to the waist chain. Just to add a little more spice I hung a sign around my neck; it read "If you can catch me, you can have me." Almost ready.
I checked to make sure that I had all the necessary keys to the bonds, then laid them in the trunk. I locked the car, then put the car keys in the trunk as well. A last check; I shut the trunk. I reached around to the handcuffs behind me, then locked my wrists in them. All set.
I tested everything; all secure. I was naked, hobbled, hands locked to my waist, penetrated, nipples clamped, and gagged. Totally at the mercy of anyone who happened along; my nipples hardened at the thought of someone finding me this way. The only way I could get free was to walk to the tree, retrieve the car keys, and walk back to the car. I walked around the car for a bit, savoring the moment, then set off up the trail.
First lesson; a day which seems merely warm when you're fully clothed can be really hot when you're naked. By the time I was halfway up the trail I was sweating profusely and on my way to a good sunburn. Memo to self; next time, lots of sunscreen.
More education; a trail which is easy to walk when your legs are free and you're wearing shoes may not be so easy when you're barefoot and hobbled. I fell half a dozen times on the way; on my butt, my side, my face. I was thoroughly dirty and scraped up by the time I got near the pond.
I froze; someone was coming down the trail toward me. My heart started pounding; I could hear him walking steadily along. I scurried off into the bushes and peeked out; there were the keys, but could I get them before whoever it was came into sight?
No. He came into sight; a young man, early thirties. Medium height and build, short sleeve cotton shirt, cargo pants, hiking boots. Clean shaven, nice face. Brown hair and eyes. I ducked out of sight as he approached, praying that he didn't see me.
The keys! He spotted them and walked over to them, then looked around. Oh my God; suppose he took them? I would have to follow him, put myself at his mercy. My knees went weak and my heart sank; I was frantic, near panic. Please leave them; please don't take them; please don't find me ...
He took them off the branch and looked around; I nearly buckled. No, you can't take them! Please don't take them; please put them back. I willed him to put them back, prayed for him to replace them, to leave me in peace.
He hung them back on the branch, looked around once more, then turned and headed back up the trail. I nearly fainted with relief; thank you, thank you, thank you. I waited a few more minutes, then crept out of the bushes with my heart in my mouth. Suppose he was still there, watching, waiting ...
I stumbled over to the tree and snatched the keys, then turned and hobbled back down the trail in a blind panic. I was sure he was watching me, following me, ready to grab me. And I could do nothing about it; if he did he could do anything he wanted to me; my sign even gave him permission.
The car; I stopped at the edge of the woods and looked around. No sign of him, or anyone else. I hobbled out and fumbled around until I had the right key and slipped it into the trunk lock. A few minutes later I was free and throwing my clothes on, then I jumped into the car and drove off in a literal cloud of dust. What an experience!
Once I got home it took me a couple of hours to calm down; that had been close. Funny; I kept fantasizing about his finding me, taking me, using me. The thought made me wet and horny, but I would never do it, not with a complete stranger; that was just a fantasy.
The real surprise came at work on Monday morning; a dozen roses, with a card that read
"Hope you enjoyed yourself. Regards, Alex." I sat back, bemused. He had been watching! Following me! He knew who I was, where I worked. Could he be stalking me?
I decided that was unlikely. He had probably found my car and run my plates, then Googled me and found out where I worked. He was teasing me, toying with me. I was intrigued, frankly; I wanted to see how this played out.
I didn't hear anything more from him. I did decide not to engage in my hobby outside my house again; no more close encounters. I didn't give it up, though.
The next time I decided to do something a little more involved; okay, a lot more involved. I made the usual preparations; the Tupperware container, with one end of a length of chain frozen in it. In my garage I had installed an eyebolt in the ceiling, with two more on the floor under it about four feet apart. I started Saturday morning by removing all my clothes and locking them and the keys to my bonds in the bedroom closet. I took the bondage gear out to the garage and left it by the eyebolts for the moment.
I locked the closet key in the trunk of my car. My car keys I left on top of my bedroom dresser; I locked the door on the way out. I locked the bedroom key in the desk in the study; the desk key went into the glove compartment of the car, which was not locked. I got the container out of the freezer and headed out to the garage.
A lubed vibrator in my rear; a larger one in my pussy. A leather harness around my waist and through my crotch to hold them in place, secured with a padlock. A large ball gag in my mouth. A leather collar locked around my neck. Shackles around my ankles. A pair of handcuffs locked to the rear of the harness around my waist. Clamps on my nipples.
Now for the finishing touches. I fed the chain from the Tupperware container through the eyebolt on the ceiling and padlocked the free end to my collar. A discipline hood over my head, zipped up in back. I reached in and turned on the vibrators, then locked my wrists in the handcuffs behind me. All done.
I stood in my garage, naked, chained, and unable to do more than hop a short distance. The vibrators began their sinister work; I began to grow warm.
More than warm; I was sweating, panting, fully aroused; a shudder as I climaxed. The vibrators kept right on going, oblivious to my need for rest, for a pause, even to catch my breath; another climax; another ...
About four climaxes later the container slipped off the ice, bouncing off my back and dousing me with ice cold water. I tried pulling away from the eyebolt; nope, the remaining chunk of ice was still too large to fit through the hole. A new element to my predicament; every time my wanderings took me under the eyebolt I was rewarded with ice water dripping on my body, ensuring that my mind didn't wander. Finally the chain pulled through the eyebolt; I could move. I dropped to my knees, then fell over on my side as another climax swept over me.
I lay there panting for a while, then struggled to my feet. The next step was to get the key out of the glove compartment. Not so easy when you can't see or use your hands, though.
I couldn't find the car. You'd think that wouldn't be a problem; after all a car is pretty big and fills most of a single car garage. Try it blindfolded and bound sometime; it was several minutes before I bumped into it. I felt around a bit; ah, there's the bumper. I worked my way around to the passenger side.
Suddenly the collar brought me up short, nearly pulling me off my feet; what the hell? I tried moving away from the car; again I was brought up short. What could be holding me back? I knelt, then felt around until I found the chain. I tugged on it; no give. What was holding it? I followed the chain toward the car; a tire. Ah, that's it; it's caught under the tire. A couple of minutes of tugging on it freed it; I got back to my feet and worked my way back to the car door.
Finally I got the car door open, then crawled onto the front seat and lay there while another climax racked my body. I was growing weak; if I didn't get free soon ... I maneuvered around until I was kneeling on the seat facing the rear of the car, then felt around for the door to the glove compartment. There's the button; I pressed it and the door popped open.
Frustration; I couldn't get my hands far enough in to grab the key. A moment of panic; I stopped and leaned against the seat, thinking furiously. Well, if my hands can't reach, how about my feet? I took a few more minutes to get turned around until I was lying on my back on the seat with my feet reaching up into the compartment. A few minutes later I had grabbed it with my toes and was crawling out of the car. I carefully dropped it on the ground, then felt around until I had it in my hand. After yet another climax I managed to get to my feet and unsteadily walk around until I found the door into the house.
Once in I dropped to my knees and crawled out to the study; I was so weak I was actually dizzy and nearly fell on my face. Fortunately I'd been in the house long enough that I didn't need to see to find my way around, so I knew which way to go, even blindfolded. Of course I had to stop halfway for another climax; by this time I was nearly exhausted. Once there I managed to get the desk drawer open, then got the next key and crawled off to the bedroom.
Getting that door open was tough; the lock is set higher than normal and I almost had to stand on tiptoe to unlock it, then grab the knob, turn it, and pull the door open; try that blindfolded with your hands cuffed behind you. Once open I wandered in and hunted for the bed, then promptly collapsed on it in the middle of another climax; I had long since lost count. Nine? Ten? Eleven? I had no idea. I lay on the bed panting as my head swam. Finally I drifted off to sleep after a couple more climaxes; the vibrators were still going.
Finally awake. For a moment I was confused; where am I? What's going on? Then the memory returned; I sat up and moved to the edge of the bed.
A new problem; I had to go to the bathroom. Bad. But I couldn't until I got the vibrators out. Speaking of which, they had stopped, batteries dead, thank God. The car keys; I hopped off the bed and made my way over to the dresser.
Damn; again I couldn't reach the keys. I stopped for a moment, then turned to face the dresser and leaned over it. I walked along the dresser using my head to push everything on the dresser off onto the floor, then dropped to the floor and hunted around until I found them. Once I had them I made my way out to the garage.
I found the car and got the trunk open with no problem. Getting the key out was a different matter; I couldn't reach it from outside the trunk. The only way to get it would be for me to climb into the trunk. I sat down on the edge of the opening; the sudden change of weight caused the trunk lid to bonk me on the head. After a few chosen words I considered the problem. Too sudden a movement might bring the lid down far enough to latch, trapping me inside. I didn't know whether I could get it open again if that happened. (You can, if you can reach the latch; whether I could reach it with my hands locked to my waist was open to question.)
I carefully eased myself into the trunk; the lid creaked as it moved up and down, but it didn't close. I lay on my back and carefully pushed it as far up as I could with my feet, holding it there until it stopped moving. I carefully began to hunt around for the key, stopping every few seconds to make sure the lid didn't suddenly come crashing down. Finally I managed to get the key; I carefully moved around until I could stick my legs out and roll out of the trunk. I landed on the floor of the garage with a thump as the trunk lid slammed shut. I shuddered at that; if I had still been inside, how long before somebody found me? Too long, that's how long. After I regained a bit of my composure I wiggled back into the house.
I made my way into the bedroom and got the closet door open, then sat down on the floor and fumbled through the keys. A few minutes later I was free and running for the bathroom; what a relief that was. I followed that with a long hot bath and a huge breakfast; it was Sunday morning now.
Again I had had a close call. If I couldn't get the chain loose from the wheel, if I had gotten locked in the trunk, if I had lost one of the keys, say under the furniture, ... I resolved to be more careful in the future. On that note I settled back and began to eat.
The next weekend I headed out to the beach for a little sun, swimming, and relaxation; but when I got there ... no, I'll let her tell that part.

Mercator Network
The longest-running partnership of the Mercator Research Centre is the Mercator Network. This Network was founded in 1987, and at that time consisted of three institutions: Mercator Education (the forerunner of Mercator Research Centre), Mercator Legislation (at CIEMEN, in Barcelona) and Mercator Media (at the University of Aberystwyth, Wales). Each focused on a different aspect of multilingualism and the position of minority languages. Since then the network has existed in various forms, and gradually expanded. In its most recent cooperative project, LEARNMe (2013-2016), the network consisted of:
- CIEMEN, Barcelona, Catalonia
- Centre Universitari de Sociolingüística i Comunicació (CUSC), University of Barcelona, Catalonia
- Mercator Institute for Media, Languages and Culture, University of Aberyswyth, Wales
- Institute for Slavic and Baltic languages, Finnish, Dutch and German, University of Stockholm, Sweden
- Research Institute for Linguistics – Hungarian Academy of Sciences (RIL-HAS), Budapest, Hungary
- Mercator Research Centre, Leeuwarden/Ljouwert, Netherlands
SOAS World Languages Institute
For almost ten years, the Mercator Research Centre has maintained a standing cooperation with the SOAS World Languages Institute, part of the University of London. More recently, CIDLeS (Centro Interdisciplinar de Documentação Linguística e Social) from Minde, Portugal, has joined this partnership. Every year, one of the institutes hosts an expert seminar. A recent example is the seminar on Language documentation, teaching materials and didactics, held in Leeuwarden/Ljouwert in December 2016. The next seminar will be held in Lisbon in October 2017.
Mercator is, through the Fryske Akademy, an associative member of the NPLD – Network to Promote Linguistic Diversity. The NPLD brings together national and regional governments, universities and associations from around Europe that are involved with language planning for minority languages. Mercator is currently one of the associative members elected to sit in the Steering Committee of the NPLD.
On a regular basis, Mercator Research Centre confers with the Federal Union of European Nationalities (FUEN), concerning future projects and events.
Cooperative research projects
The Mercator Research Centre is continuously involved in international cooperation projects. Over the years, Mercator has taken part in many such projects, often as the coordinating partner. Current examples of international multi-partner projects are COMBI and Teaching in Diversity.
Partnerships at home
Aside of its international networks, the Mercator Research Centre is also proud of its partners closer to home. This of course includes the provincial government of Fryslân, as a major subsidizer. In recent years, Mercator has also cooperated with or carried out work for:
- the municipal government of Leeuwarden;
- the municipal government of Het Bildt;
- EBLT, the umbrella of organisations striving for the position of Frisian, Low Saxon and Papiamentu in the Netherlands;
- Afûk, the official promotion organisation for the Frisian language;
- CEDIN, the educational support provider for the northern Netherlands;
- University of Groningen, in particular the Department for Frisian Language and Culture and its Minorities & Multilingualism master programme;
- Leeuwarden-Fryslân European Capital of Culture 2018.
