A St. Ann restaurant manager uncovered a $100,000 top prize on a Missouri Lottery Scratchers ticket. Jennifer Stapleton, 37, purchased the winning ticket at Prince Market, 9826 St. Charles Rock Road in St. Ann, on her way home from work at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. She scratched off the winning ticket at home, where celebrations ensued.
"It was very exciting," recalled Stapleton. "We couldn't believe it. All of the kids got woken up. I've been doing the 'happy dance' all day long."
She added that they returned to the store to verify the win. After it was confirmed, Stapleton began calling family and making plans to spend the windfall.
"I think we'll do a little family vacation, and pay the bills," she declared. "Buy a new car."
They are all good options for the first-time Lottery winner and regular player. Her husband, Benny, noted that a new car would replace a vehicle that died a few weeks ago.
"I'd say this is pretty life-changing. It's at a good time in our lives when we could use the money," concluded Stapleton.
"Just keep trying. One day you'll win," she suggested to other Lottery players.
"20X The Cash" is a $5 game that officially began Feb. 4. Two of seven top prizes of $100,000 remain in the game. Track prizes remaining for any Scratchers game here at MOLottery.com.
Players must be 18 years or older to purchase Missouri Lottery tickets.
*In the event of a discrepancy, official winning numbers prevail over any numbers posted on this website.


text: Dear, I bought a TP-Link WR941ND ver 3.6 almost a month, since my Linksys WRT54G is bricked. After I un-bricked the Linksys, I installed Tomato Version 1.28. Some place at home does not get a good connection to Tp-link, so I want to make Linksys as a WDS Access Point to enhance the signal. I use Tp-link WR941ND ver3.6 (original firmware) connect to internet and Linksys WRT54G v2 (tomato firmware) as AP/WDS. They work fine usually, but something queer...: 1) I must use "Automatic" at WDS -> Mac Addrss field under Basic -> Network page. If I put Tp-link's Mac address there. They cannot connected. (I cannot ping another router) 2) I think my neighbors are back around 17:30, my routers act queer. A newly boot up computer connect to some router, I don't know which one, but cannot get a valid IP. The wireless icon shows "Limited Access" or "No Internet Access". I need to turn off Linksys (tomato firmware), reset Tp-link (original firmware), and the computer reconnect to the router to fix the problem. 3) I think my neighbors are back around 17:30, my routers act queer. A connected computer still got its IP, can ping 2 routers and yahoo.com, but cannot open the pages. I need to reconnect to the SSID to establish the Internet connection. Hope someone can help. Thank you very much! Best Regards, Antony

We don't hide the fact we're big lego fans around here. So when we saw a video of a LEGO Ford GT being put together, there was no question we had to show it to you.
It's not any Ford GT, it's the LEGO version of a Ford GT scheduled to hit the track at the Le Mans 24 Hours next weekend.
The LEGO GT is modeled after #66 slated for the FIA World Endurance Championship. Details include the same green wing mirrors and screen top visor as the full-sized car. It took three weeks and 40,000 lego bricks to put together, not to mention a whole lot of patience.
In all, four GT's will be involved in the weekend racing series. It will mark 47 years since Ford last competed at Le Mans, but more significantly it's the 50th anniversary of Ford's 1966 victory when it finished first, second and third in the now-legendary GT40.
"When the GT40 competed at Le Mans in the 1960s, Henry Ford II sought to prove Ford could beat endurance racing's most legendary manufacturers," said Bill Ford, executive chairman, Ford Motor Company, at an event last year. "We are still extremely proud of having won this iconic race four times in a row, and that same spirit that drove the innovation behind the first Ford GT still drives us today."
In 2016, Ford Chip Ganassi Racing is running two Ford GTs in the FIA World Endurance Championship and two more in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
The two WEC Ford GTs will retain their #66 and #67 race numbers, while the IMSA cars become #68 and #69, celebrating Ford victories in 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969.

Six held for assault on BJP leader in Batala
A day after Qadian BJP leader was shot in the leg and his friend, a Youth Akali leader, assaulted by three dozen persons in a crowded market here, Batala police claimed the arrest of six persons suspected to be involved in the incident.punjab Updated: May 26, 2013 00:36 IST
A day after Qadian BJP leader was shot in the leg and his friend, a Youth Akali leader, assaulted by three dozen persons in a crowded market here, Batala police claimed the arrest of six persons suspected to be involved in the incident.
Batala SSP Tulsi Ram said that police parties raided the possible hideouts of suspects and arrested Montu Masih, Billa, Bhatu, Neeta, Laddi, and Satnam Singh, adding that remaining absconding accused would be arrest soon.
Earlier, on Friday night, on the complaint of Qadian BJP leader Kamal Joyti, a case was registered under Sections 307, 324, 323, 382, 341, 427, 148 and 149 of the IPC and 25, 27, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act against prime accused Jarnail Singh Mahal, his sons Amar Iqbal Singh Mahal and Harpreet Singh Mahal, Mantu Masih, Neeta, Jinda, Bhagat Singh, Satnam Singh, Laddi, Subeg Singh, Billa and 12 unidentified persons.
Jarnail, a former Akali councillor and president of Qadian municipal council, had opposed SAD leader Sewa Singh Sekhwan in the last assembly election.
It was learnt that about six months back, Mahal's relatives Bhatu and Montu Masih were booked for allegedly attacking Kamal Joyti's brother. Initially, police had allegedly resisted registration of the case due to strong political links of Jarnail Singh with senior akali leaders.
Meanwhile, all the arrested accused have been remaned in two- day police custody by a local court.
Second attack on BJP leader with in month
On May 4, a BJP councillor's son was seriously injured by SAD block samiti member and his accomplices in the market near the bus stand in Batala. Police registered a case against accused Vikramjeet Singh, but he is still out of police net even after more than 20 days of the crime.
Dr Navjot Sidhu writes to DGP
Chief parliamentary secretary and BJP MLA from Amritsar (East), Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu, on Saturday met the injured BJP leader Jyoti Kamal in hospital and demanded strict action against the culprits.
Terming the incident "very serious", Dr Sidhu said, "I have written a letter to DGP Sumedh Singh Saini and demanded that he must personally oversee this case and see to it that Batala police take strict action against all the accused who assaulted Kamal Joyti."
She also gave Rs 50,000 from her own funds to the injured BJP leader.

What good news! All of the Hurricanes' home baseball games will be televised this season on ESPN3.
That meant we were able to watch the opening game of the season on Friday night as the Hurricanes took on Rutger's Scarlet Knights. And in attempt to emulate the Mark Light Field experience, we made milk shakes.
Vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, milk and mix.
A black and white for John.
Add strawberries, and it's a rag arm for me.
Not quite the same as at the ballpark, but with a win and a milkshake, it's a good way to prepare for the real thing next weekend in Miami when the Hurricanes host the Gators.

Shizen Energy Group Characteristics
Our aim is to construct power plants together with people from the local community.
In each region of Japan, we will plan power plant designs suited to the land based on its characteristics while asking land owners their thoughts on its utilization and consulting with them.
We offer consulting not only on photovoltaic power plants but also on wind power plants.
We will also coordinate with power companies and obtain the necessary permits from authorities.
Shizen Energy Group Achievements
To date, we have carried out power plant construction projects on land owned by municipalities, private organizations and individuals.
The know-how we have cultivated all over Japan and throughout the world regarding everything from business development (negotiations with power companies, permit applications, etc.) on the land to EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) makes it possible for us to successfully build your power plant under various conditions.
Ask us not only about photovoltaic power plans but also about wind and small hydroelectric power plants.
Process from Inquiry to Completion of Construction
The Shizen Energy Group performs all work from start to finish in an integrated fashion.
Telephone or e-mail inquiry from customer
Confirmation of details such as land overview by our representative (telephone/e-mail or visit)
On-site survey (confirmation of site conditions, sunlight/wind/water flow conditions, etc.)
*Wind surveys for wind power and water flow surveys for small hydroelectric power require approximately one year.
Basic design (layout, module arrangement and other power generator equipment,
calculation of amount of power to be generated)
Grid connection discussions with power company
Discussions with local stakeholders
Acquisition of permits
*For wind power plants, we will conduct an environmental assessment.
Filing of application for facility certification with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry
Decision on business operator (if land owner will not be owner of power plant)
Launch of construction - completion of construction ? commissioning of plant
Maintenance/management of power plant
Is your land suitable for a photovoltaic power plant?
Following is a brief list of check items. Contact us to find out your land's fit more thoroughly.
Size of your land
A photovoltaic plant on a land with area of 1.0 ha (about 5,000 tsubo) generates approximately 1MW (1,000 kW) of electricity.
We currently work with owners of lands greater than 0.3 ha (about 1,000 tsubo).
Each land space is different. Feel free to talk to us about your land.
- Ideal lands include former manufacturing facility spaces and golf courses.
Amount of sunlight
- The more sunlight your land gets, the more electricity your land (or the plant) will be able to generate.
- Our database will assist you to simulate how much sunlight your land space actually receives throughout a year ("irradiance")
Structures on adjacent land spaces
Ideally, there's no natural or artificial structure that blocks sunlight in east, west and south of your land, like a mountain, trees and buildings.
A land fit for installing a photovoltaic plant
A land NOT fit for photovoltaic plant
Nearby transmission lines
There needs to be transmission lines nearby your land so that generated electricity can be sent to the grid.
Land condition and registration ("chimoku")
Time needed for obtaining permits, designing and constructing may vary depending on land conditions and registered use of your land.
Is your land suitable for a wind power plant?
Wind conditions
Average annual wind speed must be at least 6 m/s (at 50 m).
It must not be restricted land, such as national/quasi-national parks, protected forests, etc.
Installation environment
The windmill(s) must be outside a radius of at least 500 m from private houses.
Nearby power lines
There must be power lines nearby to transfer the electricity generated by the power plant.
Transportation route
Windmills are large structures.
The blades can be 50 m or longer, so there must be a road suited to transportation of such large structures.
Is your land suitable for a small hydroelectric power plant?
Types of locations
General rivers, agricultural water channels, erosion control/afforestation dams, water supply facilities, etc.
In addition to the above, maintenance discharges from dams, discharged water from existing power plants, sewage treatment facilities, circulated water from buildings, etc. can be used.
Natural conditions
- Well-kept mountains and forests
- Easy to obtain effective head
- Flow is stable year-round
- Quality of water to be used is favorable (low influx of debris, leaves, driftwood and dirt) etc., etc.
Water rights
Falls into category of customary water rights/licensed water rights
Does not require application for water rights (point where water from agricultural water channels becomes wastewater, point where river water flows into purification facility, etc.)

GodJul 15, 2016 by Rik Bokelman
When I woke up this morning the first thing my wife said to me was: "There are 84 dead in the attack in Nice." I was nauseated. Disgusted. How awful. You must be sick in your head when you ride a truck at full speed into an innocent crowd. Man oh man, what a misery.
And then I started work. As a team writing for
Another important question that almost any Christian asks is whether God could not prevent the attack in Nice. It is a logical question; one that I ask myself.
This morning I realized, however, that Christians measure with two different measuring rods. I want to share this with you. Not so much because I want to act like a wise guy but because I want to make you think.
Here are the two different measures I have encountered during my career as a Christian journalist.
When people see reports of the attacks like the one in Nice they often blame people. After all, it is people with their own will, i.e. IS fighters, who commit all these atrocities in the world. God is not involved in that.
When people are confronted with suffering and fund an escape they thank God and proclaim to everyone that God has his hand in everything. "Praise be to God that I'm still alive!"
As far as I'm concerned something is off in these responses.
Let me give you a few examples:
- I once interviewed Dimas Salaberrios, an ex-gangster. He told me the beautiful story about how God caused the gun that was pointed at his head to refuse. God has all power, he told me. But would that have been his conclusion if the gun had fired?
- I've talked to dozens of people who told us to have been healed after prayer. In almost all these cases people assured us that God had done this. But what about people who succumb to their illness?
- When people receive an unexpected bonus, God receives all the honor. Such a beautiful amount of money just has to be a gift from God! But this is not the case when the IRS comes calling.
Everybody will agree with me that these is often how believers respond to situations in their lives. Personally, I don't really have an answer to this question, but I have three thoughts on the matter:
1. Christians have a tendency to ascribe suffering to human causes and success to God. Perhaps this is because we realize insufficiently that our God is a suffering God, who has been kicked, been, and humiliated. He suffered horribly on the cross for hours. The real 'success' of Jesus was in his suffering.
Suffering is one of the most important ways in which God works in this world. This is not a nice message but one that is essential for being able to handle suffering in our lives. It's because Christians do not see this that many people give up on God when they encounter suffering in their lives.
2. Perhaps we need to have the courage to acknowledge that God allows things that he could have actually prevented from happening. As I wrote above, we believe in a God who works miracles. A God who heals people, prevent murders from taking place. Do we have the guts to assert this same belief after the attacks? If we don't, we use two different measuring rods.
A better option, perhaps, is to simply fully acknowledge that God is not willing to prevent awful things from happening even though he could by performing a miracle. And
3. At the same time, God remains sovereign. God is not a God who no longer has control over events in this world, even though that seems to be the case. We are confronted with two truths that are both equally true.
- Jesus has all authority in heaven and earth.
- Evil prowls around like a roaring lion.
God's will is not always executed. One theologian once explained to me that there is a difference between God's council and God's ways. "God wills that all people are saved, but they are not all saved. Israel could have entered the promised land in 11 days but it took them 40 years. It was God's council that they would reach the land, but it was his way to take 40 years for them to get there."
Back to the attack in
Could God have prevented the attack there?
Yes, because God could have performed a miracle by blinding or paralyzing the terrorist or making sure that his engine wouldn't start. He has all authority in heaven and on earth.
No, because God is a God who doesn't break the will of people who commit the most heinous crimes. The fact that Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth does not imply that are God's string puppets. God doesn't want string puppets but friends. And besides that, God is a suffering God himself. Suffering is one of the most important ways in which God works in this world.
In short, an answer that brings closure to the question is not available. And perhaps this is a good thing. Now we see through a mirror in riddles, then from face to face.
At times, God is really a mysterious God who works in mysterious ways. But this does not mean there is no reason to love Him or to follow Jesus Christ.

Remembering our loved ones has always been part of the human culture. How we choose to remember them has become very personal and often unique.
There are certain elements of memorialization in the 21st century that remain consistent with our past.
- We still need to grieve and console, and this may be reflected in some form of service or deliberate memorial act.
- It may be a traditional funeral held in our family church, place of worship, or precious, significant locale.
- Going to the cemetery or family burial plot for the final interment signifies the final resting place
- Taking time to reflect, meet family and friends over coffee, tea or maybe libations, helps family and friends to reach each other in a way that accompanies the grieving process.
Whether you choose traditional Burial or Cremation, it is important to remember that the Funeral service does not change. We still pay tribute…we still grieve…we still remember.

I believe in never forgetting, never forgetting the sounds, sights, and feelings of friends, family and places that the passage of time so often turn into distant memories.
During certain parts of the day I will pause if just for a moment and return to those valley days growing up in deep South Texas where hot summer days gave way to cool breezy evenings. At times I would sleep with the windows open and listen to the musical love messages of chicharas deep into the night until they became a gentle whisper.
I remember my great aunt's laughter, my grandfather's fedora, and touching my great-grandmother's snow white hair in wonder.
I remember Don Amador, an elderly man who had migrated from Mexico and helped my grandfather with his yard and would sip tea on the back porch.
And every time that I see a mother with her young son I remember my mother's struggle to make a better life for us, going to school in the evenings to become a teacher and enrolling me in private school to ensure that the Catholic values she received as a little girl would extend to the next generation.
I remember the excitement of getting ready to return to school to see friends and the struggle to find a pair of pants that would fit me. I was tall for my age and chubby of course which always left me my mother and I with the only option in pants…Huskys.
I also remember school days as I grew older when my friends and I thought that work was only for adults and that are carefree days would as endless as the summer heat that we so enjoyed playing in.
But the passage of time can trick the mind into forgetting and if I am not too careful lose these experiences that in the end helped to shape who I am today.
As another year passes, it seems that the present becomes the past in a matter of moments if not a blur and so I focus even more on making sure that I don't forget those beautiful shared moments that make it all worthwhile; like a soft touch or embrace, and peck on my cheek from my wife, or getting home and hearing my two-year old calling me to his room to play or to read to him.
These are indeed the beautiful moments in life past, present and future that I believe in never forgetting.

Spin the Wheel and Happy Thanksgiving
You better hurry down to LA the parental unit is on it's last legs.
You might want to say sianara and be on your merry way, since you know... since they are not leaving you anything except maybe some old shoe trees. Oh and that Las Vegas snow globe you wanted.
I had talked to the parental unit just moments before. Both of my parents have husky voices, so when the timber of my dad's voice sounded crypt like and my mom sounded like Foghorn Leghorn I figured their voices were just horser from yelling at each more than usual. Still the shoe trees were worth taking a trip for. Psycho Boy and I jumped in the car and drove 8 hours to the death condo.
We arrived drawn and haggard. Ding dong ding dong. I banged on the door with a shoe tree I clipped on an earlier visit and rang the door bell again. Ding dong. No answer. When I was about to give up and call the coroner, I heard a man yell, "Spin the wheel!" What the hell was Pat Sajak doing in my dead parents living room? I crawled on to their balcony and peaked through the venetian blinds, and there at the dining room table watching a deafening and gargantuan flat screen were two very alive parents eating spaghetti, drinking wine and solving TV hangman.
Since I am fairly thin, I slid through their venetian blinds.
Me: Doesn't anybody answer their doorbell anymore?
Mom and Dad: We knew it was you. Ha ha ha. Now that you are here, we might as well talk about those shoe trees.
Me: No. I am too vulnerable and I have to let Larry in.
Mom and Dad: Hi Larry! While you are here, can you go to T.J.'s for us? Here's the list.
We did not look at the list until we got to T.J.'s. It included 3 Two Buck Chucks and 3 bags of ginger chews, and two salads. We looked all over the meat cold case for the offending chuck meat. A Hawaiian shirted employee pointed us towards the cheap wine section. I guess, alcohol either kills you or preserves you.
So when Heidi texted me about my dad this time, I wasn't sure what to think. My mom confirmed that my elderly dad was doing very poorly and that hospice was in and he was taking morphine for pain. This time they knew we were coming and were happy we came. My dad wasn't that responsive at first, except when I asked if he was comfortable, and he answered, "I make a living." He also sang with Heidi and me several choruses of "Take Me Out To the Ball Game" and "Button Up Your Overcoat." Always the showman, my dad ended the song with," I really mean it!" My mom is still his main caregiver/entertainer so when I heard her bustling about I crept into my dad's room. My dad sat up, looked down at his hospital bed and exclaimed, "Oyvay", closed his eyes and opened them and added "Gefalt, and Patooey!" The three of us laughed and joked for what seemed like an hour, until my dad faded back to sleep.
Crazy Boy and I left two days later. I was exhausted and hungry the entire trip home. I am not normally a car sleeper, but I do like to nosh on road trips. I slept on and off for half the trip. While dazed and confused we bought these T.J. foods for the way home. Both are equally delicious and comforting.
Although there are times I miss my younger parents, a younger sibling, husband and of course a youthful me, I am grateful this Thanksgiving for all of them being around for as long as they have. Through all the trials and tribulations that have come with a long life, I am even more grateful that my family has maintained the ability to laugh at life's absurdities.
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! And much love!
What are you most grateful for?

Well, GiGi, I hardly know what to say, except this was a piece of wonderfully honest, personal writing. Sometimes laughing and crying are the same thing, and joy and sorrow mingle together in mysterious ways.

Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer died of a heart attack and was not murdered, the Jamaican Gleaner newspaper reported Sunday, citing Scotland Yard sources.
Woolmer, 58, was found dead in his Kingston hotel room on March 18, the day after cricketing powers Pakistan crashed out of the World Cup in an upset loss to minnows Ireland.
Jamaican Deputy Police Commissioner Mark Shields said it was likely Woolmer had been poisoned before being strangled.
Woolmer's death led to a fevered round of speculation. One theory was that his death was linked to match-fixing and illegal betting in cricket, and investigators from Britain and Pakistan were drafted in to help with the probe.
But the Jamaican Gleaner said that a pathology report submitted by Scotland Yard detectives stated that Woolmer "died of natural causes and not manual strangulation as was initially reported by Deputy Commissioner Mark Shields."
"The Scotland Yard report specifically said Woolmer died of heart failure, contradicting earlier reports by the investigative arm of the Jamaica Constabulary Force and local pathologist, Dr Ere Sheshiah, who had conducted a post-mortem on Woolmers's body," the paper said.
The Scotland Yard findings "were disclosed last week during a meeting with Jamaica's Deputy Commissioner of Police Mark Shields and Superintendent Colin Pinnace, who stopped over in London en route to South Africa" where they were heading to meet with Woolmer's family, it added.
Woolmer died of heart failure, not murder - report
Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer died of a heart attack and was not murdered, the Jamaican Gleaner newspaper reported Sunday, citing Scotland Yard sources.

A 23-year-old man who was allegedly clocked driving at 200km/h in a 100km/h zone on NSW's mid north coast has been charged with speeding offences and had his licence suspended.
As Easter's Operation Tortoise was being enforced by police, the man was allegedly caught travelling at double the speed limit at about 3.30pm (AEST) on Thursday on the Pacific Highway near the Macleay Valley Bridge.
Police say they stopped the Audi Quattro and arrested the driver who had two female passengers in the car.
The man was charged with speeding in a dangerous manner and exceeding the speed limit over 45kph.
His international driving licence was also suspended and the registration plates of the Audi were confiscated.
Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Assistant Commissioner John Hartley, said it was disappointing to see such extreme speeds and unnecessary risks being taken on the roads.
"At this speed, with two passengers, any crash would have most certainly been fatal for not only the driver, but his passengers and other road users."
The man was given strict bail conditions and will appear in Kempsey Local Court on May 26.

How is Orlando Magic basketball like Florida Gators football?
Glad you asked.
I have what I believe is a brilliant comparison.
Magic CEO Alex Martins has confirmed that Jeff Weltman, the new president of basketball operations, will have more resources, more money and more staffing at his disposal than former GM Rob Hennigan or any other Magic basketball boss has ever had. "We're investing in our basketball operations at a level this organization has never had before," Martins said.
Why now?
Here's where the Gator comparison comes in.
You see, former...

The restaurant was superb. The staff were all delightful and bilingual. Our room was small but extremely well equipped and designed. The surroundings are delightful, even in mid winter.

The Land of Lights, Cliffs and Dunes
Named by the painter Edouard Leveque after its unique light quality, the Opal Coast (or Côte d'Opale) is part of the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France. Its stunning cliffs, sandy dunes and significant history make this region a place of great interest for tourists around the world.
The Opal Coast offers a ranquil atmosphere and truly magnificent landscapes: from wide, sandy beaches to steep cliffs reminding you of the famous cliffs of Dover, just on the other side of the English Channel. Cape Blanc Nez and Cape Griz Nez are among the most famous resorts; from the latter you can admire the never-ending stream of ships and tankers.
This popular seaside holiday destination has played its part in 20th-century history, being a place were a few battles of both world wars were fought, the most famous being at Dunkirk. It was also part of an Allied plan aiming at deceiving the Germans regarding the location of the invasion of Europe.
While on the Opal Coast, why not visit Calais, the major ferry port of northern France and, for many tourists, a starting point of their French adventure. Another popular destination is Boulogne-sur-Mer, France's largest fishing port with a historical 12th-century belfry.
Whether you want to enjoy golfing, hiking or sightseeing, Booking.com has a perfect Opal Coast hotel for your trip.

Ten Down, One to Go
I have to make this quick, I was up so late last night, I want to try to get a quick nap before game time.
Roy Oswalt doesn't seem so tough to me, the Sox were able to send 11 men to the plate in the fifth, scoring five runs to take the lead. Here's how it happened:
# Joe Crede: Home run to right; 4-1.
# Juan Uribe: Single to left.
# Jon Garland: Strike out swinging.
# Scott Podsednik: Single to right, first and second.
# Tadahito Iguchi: RBI single to center, scores Uribe, first and second; 4-2.
# Jermaine Dye: RBI single to center, scores Podsednik, first and second; 4-3.
# Paul Konerko: Fly out to center.
# A.J. Pierzynski: Two-run double to center, scores Iguchi and Dye; 5-4.
# Aaron Rowand: Walk.
# Crede: Hit by pitch, bases loaded.
# Uribe: Fly out to center.
For our part, I thought Jon Garland was struggling. So much so, that I was hollering for Ozzie to bring in El Duque in the 4th. After he got the lead he settled in and was effective.
Outstanding performance by the buulpen. The Astros got no hits after the eighth inning. I figured the game was lost twice, once whe Luis Vizcaino came in and again when Damaso Marte came in. I have give them both props for keeping the Astros from crossing the plate.
When Geoff Blum hit the homer that gave the Sox the lead, I was so shocked I forgot to react. It deserved the same kind of reaction I had for Konerko's and Podsednik's homers in Game 2, but I was either too surprised or too tired to give it the respect it desrved.
Heads up managing by Ozzie to have Mark Buehrle ready to go in case Marte got in trouble, which he did. Sure, he's supposed to start Game 6, but Ozzie knew that if we won last night, there likely wouldn't be a Game 6. Good move.
The game would have been over in 9 if the umpires didn't give the Astros a free homer in the fourth when Jason Lane hit a ball that should have remained in play according to the crazy ground rules at the Astros' park. Fox TV has delighted in rehashing over and over every little break the Sox have received in the playoffs, yet when this glaring error occurred, they barely mention it.
The Astros have been complaining aout MLB's ruling that they have to keep their roof open. The Astros want to close it so they can increase the crowd noise. From what I heard last night, I doubt it would have made much difference. In many critical game situations, Astros fans were virtually silent. There were also a number of times I was able to clearly hear chants of "Let's go White Sox". That's fine for a midseason midweek game, but to be able to hear cheering for the visiting team during a World Series game is unheard of. Astros fans should be ashamed.
Up next,
Freddy Garcia vs Brandon Backe
I like our chances to close it out tonight.
Go Sox!

Over the last couple of weeks, people have stopped debating who is going to win the Democratic presidential nomination. And Tuesday, Barack Obama clinched a majority of pledged delegates, despite Hillary Rodham Clinton's lopsided wins in West Virginia last week and in Kentucky this week. The question now is whether Obama can win in a way that doesn't offend Clinton and her supporters. This is proving to be tricky. Obama has pointedly said that he won't call for Clinton to withdraw, and he even instructed his supporters to "be nice" to Clinton's fans. But it's not enough. Newspaper articles have been filled with the lamentations of Clinton supporters bitter at Obama and vowing not to vote for him in November.
The main grievance against Obama is that political pundits are saying the race is over and Clinton should quit. (I plead guilty.) Clinton's supporters are defining this as a form of sexism. Ellen Malcolm, founder of the liberal feminist group Emily's List, recently noted with bitter sarcasm, "The first woman ever to win a presidential primary is supposed to stop competing, to curtsy and exit stage right." And Clinton's race for the White House is in large part a campaign against sexism, so of course she must resist these calls. ("She's shown us over and over that winners never quit and that quitters never win," Malcolm writes.) Thus, the circular rationale for Clinton's candidacy is: Because people are calling for her to leave the race, she must stay in.

Duck and cover? Independent investigation needed
January 20. 2014 8:31PM
Regarding what looks a lot like a political scandal involving a Nashua lawyer engaged in politics and a Nashua lawyer engaged in law enforcement, the last place we should turn for an impartial investigation is to a Nashua lawyer engaged in both politics and law enforcement.
To recap, State Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, has admitted to having a couple of drinks at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on the night of Dec. 23, then running over and killing five ducks in the parking lot. The hotel night manager who called the police that night told the dispatcher, "there's a gentleman who is drunk," referring to Campbell. The bartender has said that Campbell did not appear impaired.
Campbell left the scene on foot and went to his office, where he called his friend Thomas Pappas - chairman of Nashua's three-member police commission. Pappas picked up Campbell. About two hours later, Pappas called the Nashua police and said Campbell was a friend who was staying at another friend's house that night, and asked if Campbell could come in to talk to the police in the morning. Not surprisingly, the answer was yes. Nashua police commissioners appoint city police officers and set their salaries.
All of this looks fishy enough to justify an investigation by the Attorney General's office. But Attorney General Joe Foster is, like Campbell, a Nashua lawyer turned politician (he is a former Democratic state senator). Like Pappas, Foster was appointed to his position by a Democratic governor (Pappas was appointed by Gov. John Lynch in 2010, Foster by Gov. Maggie Hassan last year).
One politically connected Nashua lawyer investigating two other politically connected Nashua lawyers will give the appearance of favoritism even if the investigation is conducted with exceptional integrity. The Attorney General should appoint an outside investigator - not a politically connected Nashua lawyer - to investigate the incident.

The 2012 SMB Disaster Preparedness Survey uncovered that less than 10 percent of Indian SMBs are sufficiently prepared for disasters even as they grapple with high instances of disasters. However, the survey also revealed that Indian SMBs are adopting technologies such as virtualization, cloud computing and mobility, often with improved disaster preparedness as a goal.
Symantec engaged market research firm ReRez, a Texas-based company, which gathered data from 100 Indian SMBs (less than 249 employees) in order to put together the survey report. The survey reveals that Indian SMBs experienced at least one natural disaster in the last 12 months. Power outage (74 percent) and industrial accidents (72 percent) are the top disasters cited. Indian SMBs also experienced an average of five instances of operational outage, due to power outages, industrial accidents and IT system failures, lasting an average of 11 hours.
"Small and medium businesses are the backbone of India. These businesses cannot afford lengthy downtimes and so their ability to quickly recover from a disaster is critical," said Vijay Mhaskar, Vice President- Information Management Group, Symantec India. "It's time Indian SMBs start looking seriously at having a sound plan with effective security and data protection solutions that will enable them to better prepare for and quickly recover from potential disasters," he said.
Pointing to the poor levels of disaster preparedness, the survey findings reveal that of the respondents, only six percent of Indian SMBs said that they are "extremely prepared" for disaster, eight percent replied that they "have a disaster recovery plan", and one third of the respondents said that they "have an offsite failover". The reasons for not having a disaster recovery plan range from lack of resources (42 percent), computer systems not critical to business (37 percent), budgets (21 percent) and business priority (16 percent). Showing complete unawareness for the need of disaster preparedness, a sizeable number of respondents (21 percent) said that it never occurred to them to have a disaster recovery plan.
In many cases, a desire to improve their disaster preparedness played a part in adopting emerging technologies like virtualization, cloud and mobility. According to the survey, 56 percent of respondents were influenced to undertake server virtualization to improve disaster preparedness. In the case of private cloud computing, 62 percent reported that disaster preparedness influenced their decision, similar to the 63 percent who said it affected their commitment to public cloud adoption. This held true with mobility as well, with disaster preparedness influencing the decision 55 percent of the time.

Cromwell: Indian golfer Arjun Atwal was unlucky to miss the cut despite returning sub-par cards in the first two rounds of the Traveler`s Championships Golf here.
Seeming to have made the cut, Atwal was left one shot shy despite carding one-under 69 and two-under 68 as the halfway line dropped to four-under 136.
Swede Frederik Jacobson fired a seven-under 63, his third consecutive bogey-free round, to take the lead.
Jacobson closed with a 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th for his third error-free round after carding 65 and 66 on first two days.
He is now 16-under at TPC River Highlands. Bryce Molder, who also opened with rounds of 65 and 66, shot a 64, and sits a stroke behind Jacobson.

The region of what is now Cidra belonged to the Taíno region of Cubuy, which covered a portion of the center of Puerto Rico, towards the East coast.[3] The region was led by cacique Caguax.
There are not many records that show that the region was populated after the Spanish colonization. However, it is believed that around 1795, a Catalan named Frujols built a hermitage or shrine around which a small village settled. The settlement became a ward of Cayey, until 1807 when the residents gave the power to Victoriano de Rivera to ask the Governor for permission to found an independent town. In 1809, a landowner known as Bibiana Vázquez donated the land needed for the foundation, and Governor Salvador Meléndez approved the petition. Victoriano de Rivera was appointed to lead the town, but he was quickly replaced by Wenceslao Vázquez due to illness.[4]
At the time of its foundation, Cidra had 26 houses and 11 huts. It is believed that its name is derived from the citron fruit which was widely cultivated in the region.[5][6] During the years following its foundation, a church and city hall were built. By 1822, there were already two public schools in town. Two years later, a road communicating the town with Caguas was opened. In 1868, the population of Cidra was more than 5,000 residents, which included European immigrants and slaves.
In 1902, the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico approved a law for the consolidation of certain municipalities. As a result, Cidra was again incorporated to the town of Cayey. However, in 1905 a new law revoked the previous one, turning Cidra into an independent municipality again.[7]
Cidra is located at the top of a hill in the eastern part of the Cordillera Central. It is bordered by the municipalities of Aguas Buenas, Caguas, Cayey, Aibonito, and Comerío. Cidra is a small municipality, covering only 36.1 square miles (94 km2).[8]
Water features[edit]
Cidra's hydrographic system consists mainly of the Lake Cidra reservoir, located in the municipality. The reservoir, which was built in 1946, provides water to several areas in the island.[9] There are also several rivers and creeks that cross the town like Arroyata, Bayamón, and Río de la Plata.
The town is known for being the nesting place of the paloma sabanera (plain pigeon). The bird, which is at risk of extinction, is currently found mostly in the town of Cidra and other nearby towns.[10]
Cidra is divided into thirteen barrios or wards:[11]
- Arenas
- Bayamón
- Beatriz
- Ceiba
- Certenejas
- Cidra (Pueblo or "Downtown")
- Honduras
- Montellano
- Rabanal
- Rincón
- Río Abajo
- Salto
- Sud
- Toíta
Although Cidra is not known as a tourist main stop, it features several places of interest to visit. The town center features historic places like Nuestra Señora del Carmen Parish and the Iberia Theater, both built during the first half of the 20th Century.
In the outskirts of the town, tourists can visit Lake Cidra and Perico's Waterfalls. Frog's Rock and Hamacas Bridge are also landmarks frequently visited by tourists.[5]
The economy of Cidra has relied mostly on agriculture, particularly coffee, tobacco, and minor fruits. Cattle ranching is also a source of economy in the town. In recent years, pharmaceutical and clothing industries have become participants of the economy of Cidra.[8][12]
A number of cultural events take place during the year, most prominently:[13]
- February — Myrna Vázquez Week
- July — Patron Saint's Day Festival (Fiestas Patronales)[14]
- November — Paloma Sabanera Festival[15]
There are a number of churches and chapels from several denominations in Cidra. The main parish, Parroquia Nuestra Señora del Carmen, was established in 1813.[16] The original structure was destroyed by earthquakes in the 1860s, but completely rebuilt by 1952.[5] Cidra's patron saint is the Virgin Mary. Its festivities are held each July.
Also in front of the town square is the First Baptist Church, which was established by American missionary Edgar Humphrey in 1903. The original wood structure was destroyed in 1928 by San Felipe Hurricane, but rebuilt in concrete, wood, and zinc.[5]
Cidra doesn't have a professional sports team. However, they have a successful amateur team, Bravos de Cidra, that participates in the Puerto Rican Amateur Baseball Federation.[17] The Bravos team has won nine championships, and as of 2014, are en route to win their third consecutive one.[18] The main baseball facility is the Jesús María Freire Stadium, where the Bravos play.
Cidra is also the birthplace of several important figures in the Puerto Rican sports scene. Some of them are former MLB players Luis Rivera and Luis López, as well as former coach of the Puerto Rico men's national basketball team Flor Meléndez. Boxer José Pedraza was also born in Cidra.
Famous Cidreños[edit]
- Pura Belpré [19]
- Vicente Carattini - Singer and Composer of Puerto Rican Christmas related songs
- Isabel Freire de Matos - was a writer, educator, journalist, and activist for Puerto Rican independence
- Antonio Torres Pérez (Pancholo) - Actor and Comedian

|Historical population
The population of Cidra increased steadily during the 20th Century. Since 1899, the population has risen more than 200%. According to the 2010 census, the municipality currently has 43,480 inhabitants.[20]
According to the 2010 Census, 77% of the population identifies themselves as White, and 8.3% as African-American. Also, 48.9% of the population identified themselves as males, and 51.1% as females. Finally, 25% of the population is under 18 years old. The next biggest percentage of population (20.7%) is between 35 and 49 years old.[21]
All municipalities in Puerto Rico are administered by a mayor, elected every four years. The current mayor of Cidra is Javier Carrasquillo, of the New Progressive Party (PNP). He succeeded Angel L. Malavé Zayas in 2012, after Malavé was accused of lewd conduct in 2011. Malavé had served as mayor since being elected at the 1988 general elections.
The city belongs to the Puerto Rico Senatorial district VI, which is represented by two Senators. In 2012, Miguel Pereira Castillo and Angel M. Rodríguez were elected as District Senators.[22]
Flag and coat of arms[edit]
The flag of Cidra features one brown vertical stripe on the left side, with a width of about one-third the length of the flag. It also features two equal-sized horizontal stripes to the right side of the brown one. The above stripe is green, while the lower one is yellow, or golden. The golden color symbolizes the richness of the fruits and its hydrography, as well as the spiritual wealth of the region. The green symbolizes the green landscape that can be seen in Cidra throughout the year, which is also the reason why the town is called the "Town of the Eternal Spring". The brown symbolizes the Virgin, patron saint of the town, and also the Paloma sabanera that is widely seen in the area.[7]
Some versions of the flag also feature the coat of arms on the left hand side, over the intersection of the three stripes. The coat of arms was approved in the 1970s by the Municipal Assembly. It features a red band crossing the shield diagonally, from left to right. Over the red band lies a golden citrus, which is believed to be one of the reasons for the town's name, and a cornucopia of fruits, which alludes to Cidra's role as one of the major producers of fruits of the island. The upper field is either white or silver, and features two symbols: a black scapular representing the Virgin, and a black bishop hat referencing San Juan Nepomuceno, bishop and martyr. The lower field is mostly blue and features a brown pigeon flying over a mountain range, representing the location of the town in the Central Mountain Range, and a set of silver water waves. The whole seal is capped by a three-tower crown, which is usually seen in municipal seals in the island.[8]
Cidra is known mostly by two names. It is known as the "Town of the Eternal Spring" for its cool temperatures. It is also known as the "Town of the Plain Pigeon" because the abundance of that bird in the town.[8]
There are around 15 public schools in Cidra. As with all other municipalities, education is handled by the Puerto Rico Department of Education. These are divided as follows:

Two related and inescapable questions hang over the first ever New Orleans Oyster Festival scheduled for June 5 and 6: Is it the worst possible time to be holding such a celebration? Or is there no better time than the embattled present?
While the Gulf of Mexico oil spill that prompted the closure of large swaths of Louisiana oyster harvesting areas will cast a shadow over the event, organizers say that the festival was not created in response to the ongoing disaster.
"We've always wanted to celebrate the oyster farmers, the oyster restaurants and chefs that have created the Oyster Capital of America," said Sal Sunseri, the co-owner of P & J Oyster Company. He is on the festival's board and driving force behind it. "This has been a vision of ours for many, many years."
The festival was originally scheduled to launch in June of 2006, he said, adding that the levee breaches following Hurricane Katrina ruined those plans. It has simply taken this long to get the event back on track, he said.
"You can never find a perfect date," Sunseri said, explaining that they ultimately decided to schedule the festival for early June because it is a downtime for participating restaurants and "to dispel the myth worldwide" that Gulf oysters are less than prime when harvested in the summer months.
The festival, which is set for June 5 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and June 6 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., will be held in the River Berger parking lot on Decatur Street, between St. Louis and Toulouse streets. The lot will be lined with food and crafts booths and prominently feature an oyster "heritage tent." There will be oyster eating and shucking contests, as well as a largest oyster contest.
How the oil spill and the resulting oyster shortages will impact the proceedings remains to be seen.
Rob Johnson, general manager of the New Orleans office of Inland Seafood, a distributor with branches across the South, said the closures have "taken oysters out of the marketplace" and created "a frenzy" among buyers and sellers. As of Wednesday, he said shucked oysters had "gone up to about $8 a gallon. That's about $1.50 more per pound than they were a week ago. And we're anticipating more price hikes."
Jim Gossen, a partner in the Houston-based seafood distributor Louisiana Foods, said the oyster shipment he received on Wednesday was the first in nearly a week, "and we normally have deliveries every day."
Sunseri said P & J's oyster prices have "gone up nominally. Our farmers we've dealt with for many, many years are not gouging. Our guys have been very loyal."
He also isn't worried about the closures posing a real threat to the festival. He said he's secured oyster supplies from Texas in the event Louisiana oyster shortages worsen over the next three weeks. Sunseri also hopes to be able to lead a planned boat tour of oyster harvesting areas around Grand Isle on June 1.
But even if the spill makes the boat tour impossible, Sunseri believes the disaster's pall will only lend the Oyster Festival resonance. A percentage of the proceeds raised will go to benefit Save Our Coast, a local environmental charity.
"That's our goal, to have the nation aware of how important it is to rebuild our coastline," Sunseri said. "We have been stewards of the sea for over 100 years. Without the management of our fisheries, we would already have waterfront property in New Orleans. That's why we're so emphatic about saving the coast line."
