Pirates' picks in line with 'core set of values'
Pirates director of amateur scouting Joe DelliCarri acknowledged the franchise may value certain qualities differently than other teams, scouts or Draft experts.
So while some picks Pittsburgh made in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft raised some eyebrows -- most notably the Bucs' first two selections -- DelliCarri defended the club's approach to the Draft.
Pirates director of amateur scouting Joe DelliCarri acknowledged the franchise may value certain qualities differently than other teams, scouts or Draft experts.
So while some picks Pittsburgh made in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft raised some eyebrows -- most notably the Bucs' first two selections -- DelliCarri defended the club's approach to the Draft.
"We do find some things in our core set of values that perhaps are different from what other teams or people look at," he said. "And we are very consistent in that. There are many good players out there, and as far as we're concerned, we put our energies into those who answer our core values."
The Pirates started their Draft by taking high school shortstop Cole Tucker 24th overall. Tucker was a player many had pegged lower than the Top 25, but the 17-year-old was obviously high on the Pirates' wish list.
Pittsburgh general manager Neal Huntington said Tucker, who hit .404 as a senior at Mountain Pointe High School this season, with 13 stolen bases and 30 RBIs, was the "best player available on our board," and he did not think the Arizona native would be available when the Pirates made their next selection at 39th overall.
"With all due respect to the experts ... these are young men we are betting on, on their characteristics, work ethic -- as well as what you can see with your eyes," Huntington told reporters Thursday.
Fifteen picks later, the Pirates used their next selection -- which they obtained in a trade with the Marlins for reliever Bryan Morris last Sunday -- on another position player: University of San Diego outfielder Connor Joe.
The Bucs went position player-heavy early in the Draft, as five of their first seven picks were non-pitchers. The first three picks made by the Pirates on Day 2 of the Draft were all college position players: Fresno State outfielder Jordan Luplow, Florida catcher Taylor Gushue and Florida Gulf Coast outfielder Michael Suchy.
The Pirates added more and more arms as the Draft went on, however, and when the 40th round concluded, they ended up with more pitchers (22) than position players (20). Seventeen of those arms were picked up Saturday in rounds 11-40, including the Pirates' first pick of the final day in right-hander Gage Hinsz, a Montana high schooler.
Mitch Keller was the first pitcher selected by Pittsburgh when the team took him with the 64th overall pick. From Xavier High School in Iowa, Keller stands at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds, touts a fastball that hovers between 90-94 mph and has plenty of potential.
"Mitch is a high-ceiling right-hander," Huntington said. "We like the frame and the quality of his pitches."
The Pirates took a total of nine high schoolers, with right-handed pitcher Trey Supak and Puerto Rican shortstop Nelson Jorge joining Tucker and Keller as the quartet of non-college players taken in the Draft's first two days. The earlier high school picks will likely sign with the Pirates and begin their professional career, but there will always be high school players who opt to play college ball.
"Signability" is a word used very often at this time of the year in the baseball world, and it is on the mind of both players and front offices. But Huntington said the likelihood of signing a player does not steer the direction of the team's picks in the early rounds.
"Signability never drives our selections," Huntington said. "We make them based on how we like them."
Huntington and Co. were not used to waiting as long to make a selection as they did this year. The Bucs had the 24th pick after going 94-68 last season and making the playoffs for the first time in two decades, and the selection matched the team's lowest in the 50-year existence of the First-Year Player Draft.
The Pirates returned to the postseason largely thanks to players they took when they had all those high Draft picks. First-rounders Andrew McCutchen, Gerrit Cole, Pedro Alvarez and Neil Walker were all key parts to the run the team made last season.
The Pirates are hoping they found more everyday players in this year's Draft haul -- even if outsiders were initially skeptical.
"We feel really good," Huntington said after the first night of the Draft. "This was the culmination of a lot of hard work by a lot of great people doing really good things, many of them under the radar."

Illustrator Spotlight: Marc Boutavant
Marc Boutavant is practically a daily part of my family's life. Covering the pages of some of our favorite story books, his illustrations run the gamut from minimalist and retro to epically detailed 2-page spreads that reveal new surprises every time I look at them. And if the illustrations aren't enough for you - some of the books have reusable stickers, mirrors, and flaps too.
Also known as Mouk, Marc Boutavant's illustration career originally began in comic books. Now, his children's books run the gamut from toddler board books like What Will I Be? to his hip geography sticker book, Around the World with Mouk. Even better, you can add adorable chalkboard wall graphics to his list, and wooden pull toys too. But our favorite new find is his Disney Junior UK television show - Mouk, which is full of around-the-world adventures. It only seems available on YouTube, but it's worth it!

A few days ago, there was a number flashed all over the internet.
That number was 1,000,000. That's how many ebooks James Patterson has sold.
Pretty impressive, huh?
Yes, and no.
Yes, because a million is a big number.
No, because compared to his print sales, it's tiny.
There's also another reason it isn't impressive. A personal reason.
I've sold 60,000 ebooks. By the end of 2010, I'll have sold over 100,000.
In June, I earned $12,000 on ebooks that I self-published on Kindle. I'm currently selling about 8000 per month.
And this is just on Kindle. Patterson's numbers seem to include all ebook platforms.
I did it in 15 months. Patterson's numbers probably have been accruing for many years, since ebooks first started being sold.
Plus, he's freakin' James Patterson, and I'm a midlist little fish. He's got many more titles (65) than I do (17), he's a #1 bestseller, and he's a name brand with movies and TV shows and huge advertising budgets.
And yet, on my own, I've sold 1/10th of what he has. In far less time. With fewer titles. On Kindle only. With no advertising. No TV commercials. No name brand.
I'm happy Mr. Patterson has reached this historic milestone. I'm sure he'll have another million or two sales in his future.
Just as I'm sure I'll reach a million as well.

Now I have heard everything. Sit down folks. General David Petraeus, holder of the following medals:
- Defense Distinguished Service Medal (4)
- Army Distinguished Service Medal (3)
- Defense Superior Service Medal (2)
Legion of Merit (4)
- Bronze Star Medal with Valor
- Defense Meritorious Service Medal
- NATO Meritorious Service Medal
- Officer of the Order of Australia
- And many others
Has resigned because of an extra-marital affair.
CIA Director David Petraeus submitted his letter of resignation Friday, after admitting to an extramarital affair.
Petraeus, in a message to staff, said President Obama accepted his resignation after the two met on Thursday afternoon. Petraeus said that he asked "to be allowed" to step down.
"After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours," Petraeus said. "This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation."
The move comes amid the unfolding controversy surrounding the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya. Scrutiny has fallen on a range of agencies including the CIA. The director had been expected to testify at hearings next week. But Petraeus, in his resignation message, cited strictly "personal reasons" surrounding his affair which until now had not been disclosed.
Obama, in a written statement, said Petraeus provided an "extraordinary service to the United States for decades."
"By any measure, he was one of the outstanding General officers of his generation, helping our military adapt to new challenges, and leading our men and women in uniform through a remarkable period of service in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he helped our nation put those wars on a path to a responsible end," Obama said. He said he has named Michael Morell, the agency's deputy director, to serve as acting director.
The decision abruptly ends the public-service career of one of the military's most vaunted leaders. He led the surge in Iraq, and was later tapped to lead U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan — following two years at the helm of U.S. Central Command. In April 2011, Obama again tapped Petraeus to lead the CIA.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said Petraeus' resignation "represents the loss of one of our nation's most respected public servants."
Petraeus' wife, Holly, also works in the Obama administration, for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
History teaches us that under in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin the Red Army was purged of its best officers and men. In fact the purge nearly destroyed the Red Army and it was a real possibility that due to the purge (And killing of these men) that Germany could have destroyed the Soviet Union.
Now look to today. First Cmdr. Joseph Darlak, captain of the
frigate Vandegrift, then, Capt. Owen Honors was relieved of duty Tuesday
as commander of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, then General Ham
was relieved. There is a massive Reduction in Forces happening in the military. While civilian (union) workers are not being fired, the men and women in uniform are being basically fired.
Rumors are rampant that there was a Seven Days in May coup d'etat being planned if Obama won. I doubt it, bum Obama is removing all and any opposition to his plans there can be. Rumors are also rampant that this was the last free election we as a nation will ever have. That Obama has no intention of ever giving up power and he will soon find a way to eliminate both Houses of Congress and the Supreme Court. Why not? Already the left has declared him G-d.
I fear the end is nearing for the United States of America. A once proud and free nation now subjected to the whim of a dictator. G-d help us all!

HINCKLEY – Have you ever wondered about that old vase you keep in the basement, the one that used to belong to your grandmother? Or the painting you found in the attic when you moved into your house? Are they really as old as the family thinks? More important, perhaps, are they worth anything?
Now here's your chance to find out.
An Antique Appraisal Event will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 8 in the Hinckley Community Building. Co-hosted by the Hinckley Public Library and the Hinckley Historical Society, the event will feature Mark Moran, who has appraised antiques for more than 30 years and has appeared on "Antiques Roadshow."
"We wanted to do something with the historical society," library director Heather Shlah said. "We thought it is 'very library,' and the theme seemed to work."
Although the appraisals and the event are free, anyone interested in having an item appraised must register in advance by calling the library at 815-286-3220.
According to Shlah, Moran will take up to 40 items and will appraise each one in front of the crowd.
"It's definitely for entertainment value," she said.
Moran said he will share stories and anecdotes with the audience with the appraisals.
"It's really performance art," he said. "An audience is always welcome, even if they don't have something. They can expect to be entertained and learn something. People have so much fun at the shows."
Moran, who lives in Iola, Wis., created his antique appraisal events in January of 2011 when he was laid off from the publishing company for which he wrote 27 antiques books. Essentially traveling throughout the Midwest – including a scheduled stop at the DeKalb Library on Dec. 4 – he said he works almost every day except his wedding anniversary.
"We'll celebrate our 40th anniversary next year," he said.
Moran, who specializes in fine art and Americana, said he sees a lot of the same items, but with a lot of variety.
"Part of the challenge for me is to walk into a room and then enlighten their owners with their works," he said, noting that he only spends about four minutes with each item.
After years of experience, Moran, who is equipped with a computer, said he can usually tell right away what an item is worth. However, there are times when he has to do more research. In those cases, he said he is happy to follow up with owners after the program.
Sometimes people are more interested in learning the history of an item which has been in the family a long time than its real value.
"I see one amazingly cool thing at every program," he said. "I have more fun than anyone else at the show."
There are certain items he won't evaluate, including weapons, fine jewelry or any currency.
Shlah said a light dinner and refreshments will be provided with the program.
"The more the merrier," she said.
Moran said he will also be available for house calls that day if anyone would like a private appraisal of "big things, fragile things or just a lot of things." The in-home sessions cost $75 an hour.
To register for a private appraisal, either call the library at 815-286-3220 or Moran at 715-281-5060.
Appraisal show coming to Hinckley
HINCKLEY – Have you ever wondered about that old vase you keep in the basement, the one that used to belong to your grandmother? Or the painting you found in the attic when you moved into your house? Are they really as old as the family thinks? More important, perhaps, are they worth anything?

The Etiology of Pancreatic Cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Hello. On Wednesday, I received the unfortunate news that my mother did indeed have a malignant tumor on her pancreas. The tumor has attached itself to the inferior vena cava and obviously cannot be removed. This is not the first time that I have experienced this in my family. Both of my mom's parents both died very recently with cancer of the pancreas.
Obviously, I have many concerns and questions. After reading through the literature made available on the Internet, I have learned a great deal about this type of cancer. One thing that seems to be very inconclusive is the etiology of this dreaded disease. Although the etiology is unclear, many of the possible reasons cited were based on environmental factors (ie. cigarettes, certain chemical carcinogens). No where did I see any mention of genetics. However, after now finding out my mother's fate, I can only feel that I am very much susceptible to this. One thing to note, my mother grew up directly in front of a smelter where nickel was refined. In her town, a nickel manufacturing company is the biggest employer. Also this week, they were cited as one of the worst water polluters in the province of Ontario.
Thank you very much,
Li Liu, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistant, responds:
Dear G:
Thank you for your interest and question.
Some epidemiologic studies have reported the importance of inherited genetic abnormalities in pancreatic cancer. One case-control study estimated that 3% of pancreatic cancers had a hereditary origin (Fernandez E, et al. Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, 1994; 3:209). Some of the rare hereditary disorders that predispose persons to pancreatic cancer include hereditary pancreatitis (Davidson P, et al. Annals of Internal Medicine, 1968; 68:88), multiple endocrine neoplasia type I syndrome (Jensen RT, et al. Gastrointestinal Disease: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Management. Philadelphia: WB Saunders, 1992), Lynch syndrome II (Lynch HT, British Journal of Cancer, 1985; 52:271), von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (Neumann HP, Gastroenterology, 1991; 101:465), and ataxia-telangiectasia (Swift M, et al. Cancer Research, 1976; 36:209).
Occupational exposures, including 2-naphthylamiine, benzidine, derivatives of gasoline, DDT and related compounds, have been reported to be associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer, although the mechanisms are not totally understood. To my knowledge, nickel exposure and/or close contact has not been reported to be associated with pancreatic cancer. Other than cigarette use, the firm etiology of pancreatic cancer is usually not known. I would recommend you to discuss your concerns with your doctor and perhaps a genetics counselor.

Fallen trees are causing delays on a number of Sussex roads and rail services this morning (Saturday, July 25).
Vowels Lane in Selsfield Common is closed in both directions between the Selsfield Road junction and the B2110 Turner's Hill Road junction because of the tree.
The obstruction is causing knock-on traffic delays and motorists are being asked to find alternative routes if possible.
One lane is closed northbound on the M23 between J9 (Gatwick Airport) and J8 (M25) following an earlier accident.
The vehicles involved have now been moved onto the hard shoulder and recovery work is taking place.
There are no other reported congestion spots in Sussex.
There are delays on the trains between East Grinstead and Hurst Green until at least 11am this morning because of the obstruction on the line. Metrobus are accepting tickets between Three Bridges and Lingfield to ease the disruption.
For those jetting abroad on their summer holidays this morning, flights are running as normal from Gatwick Airport.

8. Limitations of Liability
If for any reason an entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, the entrant's sole remedy is another entry in the same or a comparable Sweepstakes (or, if that is not possible for any reason, in a random drawing from among other eligible entries for any or all of the unclaimed prizes offered in a Giveaway). No claimant in any dispute involving the Sponsor or any Promoter shall be entitled to claim or obtain indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential damages. Liability of the Sponsor or any Promoter on a claim is limited to the value of the Prize in question.
9. Disputes
Decisions of the Sponsor's Board of Judges are final. In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used to conduct a search will be deemed to be the entrant. Failure by the Sponsor to enforce any provision in these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

The Sweepstakes is sponsored by Publishers Clearing House, 101 Winners Circle, Jericho, NY 11753. The Sponsor may contract with others (each, a "Promoter") to make the Sweepstakes available through Search and Win opportunities offered on their respective Web sites (each, a "Promoter Web site").

See Sweepstakes Facts for estimated odds of winning and other important messages. The Sponsor and some Promoters may offer additional benefits or features to Participants, but such benefits or features are independent of the Sweepstakes, do not affect the odds of winning a Prize and are not the responsibility of any other person.

Raj Ghat is the final resting place of Indian politician Mahatma Gandhi, one of the most respected leaders of all times. On 31 January 1948, Gandhi was cremated on the bank of the holy Yamuna River and his ashes buried. Shortly afterwards a monument was built here which is open to visitors.
Over time, the monument has become a place of pilgrimage for followers of the peace-loving Gandhi, who is also known as the spiritual father of India. Many still adore both the person Gandhi was and his non-violent resistance against discrimination and the British rule over India. World leaders, including President Obama and Queen Elizabeth, have visited this shrine to pay their respects.
The monument consists of a black marble square, inscribed with the words 'He Ram'. These are supposed to be Gandhi's final words, spoken before he took his last breath after being shot. It means 'Oh God'. Behind the monument burns an eternal flame, representing the eternity of Gandhi; his ideas will endure. Architect Vanu G. Bhūta surrounded the monument with a stone path, framed by straight green lawns. Simple and serene – 2 words that are a fitting description of Gandhi. Visitors are deeply touched by the monument's simple design. Please note: visitors must remove their shoes before entering the premises.
New Delhi, Delhi 110006
Close to the monument you will find the National Gandhi Museum. This museum gives visitors an overview of Gandhi's life through expressive pictures, paintings and images. Letters illustrate his style of communication and voice recordings provide a more intimate portrait. Gandhi Smriti, the place where he was murdered, is also open to visitors. The peaceful leader spent the last 144 days of his life in the Birla House. His room has remained exactly the way it was when he died on 30 January 1948; you can see how few possessions he had. Footsteps on the ground mark the route he walked from the house to the place where he was shot, near the prayer room.
Gandhi was born into a rich family in Porbandar on 2 October 1869. At the age of 13, he married Kasturba – it was an arranged marriage, a tradition he would later vehemently oppose. He studied law and then moved to South Africa to work and lead a simple life. Here he made his first pleas for non-violent resistance in the fight against the racial discrimination he experienced. He was imprisoned several times for his actions.
In 1915 he returned to India, where he continued his non-violent resistance. He fought against British domination of India. In 1920, Gandhi became the leader of a new political party, the Indian National Congress. A boycott of English products and institutes was carried out under his leadership. And he lead the Salt March, a world famous march to protest the taxes on salt. Thousands of people joined him.
The years of struggle paid off in 1947 when India became independent. But inside India, the bloody struggle between Hindus and Muslims continued. Despite Gandhi's hunger strikes, India was divided into a Hindu India and a Muslim Pakistan. Many Hindus blamed Gandhi for being much tougher on his Hindu friends than on his Muslim enemies. He survived various attempts on his life. But on 30 January 1948, fate abandoned him. At his lodgings in New Delhi, Gandhi (78) was shot to death by a Hindu who opposed the fraternisation with Muslims. He spoke one last time: 'He Ram…'

Today's Tidbit | Lorenz Heller
A cousin, who lives in South Dakota, sent me some information she found concerning my 3rd great grandfather. She's been helping trying to locate his grave in SD. While she didn't have any further information on that, she did find this article about him in the Grant County (South Dakota) review dated March 10th, 1892:
(Lorenz Heller), an old man over 70 years of age, residing four miles north of Revillo, was rolled and trampled by an infuriated bull on Monday afternoon, and died from the effects of the injuries the same night. The animal was de-horned and the old man was endeavoring to drive it into the stable with a pitchfork when it turned upon him.
Lorenz was born in Prussia in 1817. He arrived with his family at Castle Garden in New York City on May 16, 1866. They settled in Wisconsin and then went to South Dakota in about 1881.

One Person's Common Sense Is Another's Quantum Physics
Dec 27 2011
How many times have you wondered why someone does not see what you see or get what you get? How many times have people questioned you when you didn't do something the way they might do it? Just as you've wondered why certain people are clueless, people have probably wondered the same about you.
I've had the opportunity recently to take some career assessment tests. They are like those tests you took in high school with a career counselor that told you that you should become a nurse, a teacher or you had no worthwhile skills at all. Well fortunately or unfortunately, I happen to have some skills/talents but some of them seem to be opposing. In other words, I have an unusual mix of abilities that can cause internal angst (surprise!). Most of them label me as someone who can do multiple things (Jill-Of-All-Trades) or in other words…shudder…an entrepreneur. This means I can be a geneticist, a trial lawyer, a pharmaceutical sales rep, a recruiter, a coach/counselor, sports writer (I have no clue about professional sports) or even a barista at Starbuck's as long as they let me rearrange the entire operations at the coffee shop.
I did the Kolbe Career Index A with business coach & friend Michelle Ewalt. She gave me things to think about and questions to ask about potential career opportunities. I did the Affini-T assessment with a new Austin company called Affintus, and that one tested my math problem solving skills that I'd half forgotten since taking Algebra many moons ago! Earlier this year, I did the Strength's Finder assessment. All presented similar results but presented them in very different, unique ways.
I think the most important takeaway for me was that we are all so very different in how we view and approach the world, our responsibilities, and careers. I have more understanding of someone when they don't "get" how the things they do or say (or don't do or say) can profoundly affect others, they don't speak their mind, they can't connect with people to form networks, or they get stuck and stay stuck instead of looking for alternative paths (common sense to me). I hope to develop more patience with myself & others when I or they aren't able to research something completely, execute to completion, or build a magnetic based bullet train (quantum physics to me – ouch that hurts my brain). If we as parents and managers appreciated the differences and strength's in people and let them do what they do best, we would create and build better, more sustainable businesses.Author: Aruni | Filed under: entrepreneur, entrepreneurship, networking | Tags: affintus, algebra, bullet train, career assessments, kolbe, michelle ewalt, strengths finder | 2 Comments »

This week's game and the 1990 entry is going to be Super Mario Bros. 3.
Title: Super Mario Bros. 3
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Released: February 12, 1990 (US)
Twin Galaxies High Score: 2,374,530 by Kyle Goewert.
We are going to use the Twin Galaxies rules for this game, as it provides too many opportunities to point press by continually playing through the same level over and over, and because it is extremely easy to rack up extra lives. The rules sound convoluted, but the general idea is to play the game as though you are trying to beat it instead of exploiting things for a higher score, and stop when you have died 5 times.
Here are the rules:
5 Life Game [Recording ends either when you lose your 5th life OR when the game is completed in accordance with the rules outlined below.]
Special Rules: Your scoring attempts ends when either you lose your 5th life or when you enter the Final Chamber after Bowser's defeat. Going through walls you normally can't go through [such as in Bowser's castle] and the Wall-Jumping tactic is NOT allowed! You're allowed to use Whistles to warp ahead, BUT! You're NOT allowed to use them to warp Backwards or to the same world! [This is due to the fact that when you warp backwards, the game treats any prior completed world as if it's your first attempt! Even if you just finished clearing it, but you keep your score. [This only works for Worlds 5-7]]
Re-Entering the Spiral Palace of World 5 AFTER it has been completed [This done by using the pipe you come out of in the Sky half of World 5] for ANY REASON will result in an AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFICATION with the EXCEPTION being if you lose a life on the Air Ship and it goes down to the bottom part of the level.
All point-pressing techniques are limited to TWO attempts per location, per life. This includes anything that deals with regenerating enemies and power-ups. EXCEPTION: You may collect a power-up more than twice ONLY if you cannot otherwise complete the level on your current life. However, you MUST make every possible effort to avoid this scenario.
[Please note that Air Ship levels are exempt from this as enemies constantly respawn but the screen is almost always scrolling forwards and hence that would be more considered as Point Maximization. An example of 2 times per area would be on 1-1 where you can hop off the turtles with some luck to 8000 points and 1-ups. You can maximize this potential offer no more then twice. Areas such as 1-2 refer to each spawning Goomba pipe may be point pressed twice]
[Wall-Jumping is defined as jumping against a wall [or pipe] in such a manner that a pixel or two of Mario is stuck in the wall [or Pipe] and is able to use that to jump again, far higher then can be done normally. Further definition; Mario cannot be made to jump off of a surface that is 90 degrees perpindicular to the ground. Please note this can be further used to also go through solid objects not normally passable as is disallowed.]

Brad Paisley's 'Wheelhouse' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Country
Brad Paisley stepped out of his comfort zone with his eighth studio album, 'Wheelhouse,' and it certainly paid off, as the record debuted at No. 1 this week on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.
Not only did the star take a few risks in the album, saying in the liner notes, "We only had one rule with this record: to throw out the rules," but he also produced it, something he did for the very first time.
'Wheelhouse' marks Paisley's seventh consecutive studio album to debut as the nation's country best-seller, and it also arrived at No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart.
Although there was definitely some controversy surrounding a few of the singer's tracks in recent weeks, he was extremely confident in the loyalty of his fans, and they did not disappoint him, with more than 100,000 albums sold thus far.
With 14 songs, three interstitials and a whole lot of exciting collaborations, the three-time Grammy winner put his whole heart into this record, writing or co-writing all of the songs, and clearly stretching past his 'Southern Comfort Zone' into new territory.
Paisley will be kicking off his Beat This Summer Tour in May, with special guests and fellow country crooners Chris Young and Lee Brice, hitting 29 cities and having a whole lot of fun this summer.

NEW ORLEANS – Scientists in Michigan and Louisiana are predicting a big summer "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico unless a tropical storm hits the area shortly before or during the annual measurement. In the Chesapeake Bay, scientists expect a smaller-than-average area where there's too little oxygen to support fish, shellfish and other aquatic life.
The hypoxic zone in the Gulf is likely to be the largest since annual measurements began in 1985, covering 8,561 square miles - about the size of New Jersey, according to scientists from Louisiana State University and the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium.
University of Michigan scientists predict that it will be smaller but still sizeable: the seventh-largest ever, at 7,286 square miles. That would be about the area of Connecticut, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia combined, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which released those estimates and the one for the Chesapeake Bay on Tuesday.
Low- and no-oxygen areas in the Chesapeake Bay, the nation's largest estuary, aren't measured in square miles because so much of the bay is shallow. Instead, they're measured in cubic miles and water volume. This year's low-oxygen zone is expected to affect 1.46 cubic miles in midsummer, with no measurable oxygen in 0.26 to 0.38 cubic miles, according to researchers at the University of Michigan and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. That is smaller than average, NOAA researchers said in news release.
The Gulf dead zone affects nationally important commercial and recreational fisheries and threatens the region's economy, according to NOAA. It said the Chesapeake dead zones, which have been highly variable in recent years, threaten a multi-year effort to restore the Bay's water quality and enhance its production of crabs, oysters and other important fisheries.
"Coastal hypoxia is proliferating around the world," said Donald Boesch, president of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. "It is important that we have excellent abilities to predict and control the largest dead zones in the United States. The whole world is watching."
All the forecasts are based on nutrient runoff and river stream data from the U.S. Geological Survey. The nutrients are largely nitrogen and phosphorus, much of them from farms upriver.
Since 1995, the Gulf dead zone has averaged 5,960 square miles, an area roughly the size of Connecticut. In 2001 and 2008, state, federal and tribal agencies in the Mississippi River watershed - about 40 percent of the country - set a goal to reduce the size of the Gulf hypoxic zone to an average of 1,950 square miles by 2015.
(MORE: America's Most Endangered Rivers)
There has been little progress getting there, said Donald Scavia, a University of Michigan aquatic ecologist who contributes to both forecasts.
"The size of the Gulf dead zone goes up and down depending on that particular year's weather patterns. But the bottom line is that we will never reach the action plan's goal of 1,950 square miles until more serious actions are taken to reduce the loss of Midwest fertilizers to the Mississippi River system, regardless of the weather," Scavia said.
Last year, drought upriver cut runoff so drastically that the Gulf of Mexico dead zone was the fourth-smallest on record, less than 2,900 square miles. Michigan scientists had predicted it would cover just under 1,200 square miles while Louisiana, scientists predicted about 6,200 square miles.
Both groups said they refined their techniques this year.
Scientists will measure this year's Gulf dead zone July 21-28, LUMCON director Nancy Rabalais said.
A tropical storm during or within two weeks of that period would reduce its size to as little as 5,344 square miles by mixing oxygen at the surface deep into the water. The Chesapeake Bay measurements will be made public in October after surveys by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.

Home Depot reopens after evacuation for 'bomb threat'
Photo: Jarret Liotta
The Home Depot store at Kings Highway and Grasmere Avenue has reopened after being evacuated this morning when a "bomb threat" was found scrawled on a wall.
The store reopened to customers and staff about an hour after the threat was discovered about 9 a.m. Nothing suspicious was found during a search of the premises, police said.
The store had been cleared while a search was underway as a precaution, and police also blocked off area streets.
The "threat," however, apparently had been written several days earlier, according to police.

Man Shooting Heroin Crashes Car into Police Cruiser
The "genius" award for today goes to a Louisiana man. While most of us struggle with the need to put our cellphones away while we drive, this man couldn't put down his syringe. His, understandable, distraction from the road led him to crash into a police cruiser.
You heard it here first. The next inductee in the Mensa group, the high I.Q. club, will be Louisiana's 32-year-old Ronald Caplina.
His smarts led him into a big batch of trouble Monday when he caused a auto accident that revealed his drug problem straight to the police.
At about 4 p.m. on October 7, Mr. Caplina was traveling down Fremaux Avenue in Slidell, LA. At that very time, a police lieutenant was monitoring traffic via the shoulder of Fremaux Avenue. The police officer noticed a 2004 Lincoln LS heading away from the roadside and towards his police cruiser. Right before impact, Caplina allegedly looked up to see that he was veering off the road but had little time to react.
Traveling at approximately 40 MPH, Caplina crashed into the police vehicle.
Minor injuries were sustained by both parties, but what would hurt Caplina was the officer's discovery of what distracted him from staying on the road.
KLTV reported that the suspicion of Caplina's drug use came from a few signs inside the vehicle directly after the accident. " Police discovered a fresh syringe, along with suspected heroin, inside the vehicle. Police say the syringe had dried blood on the needle and Caplina had fresh injection marks on his arm."
That is right, he was more than likely shooting up Heroin at the moment of impact with the police cruiser.
What a bad day this turned out to be for Caplina. "[He] was cited with careless operation, driving under suspension and no seat belt. He was also booked for possession of a schedule I narcotic (heroin) and possession of drug paraphernalia."
Guess the moral of this story is to be a little smarter, folks.
Don't do drugs. Don't do drugs while driving and pay attention so you don't hit a cop car.

The impressive part about second-year quarterback Andrew Luck isn't necessarily how often he leads the Colts to come-from-behind wins.
It's how accepted it's become that he's about to.
Playing one of the league's best defenses, down five in the fourth quarter, Luck did what he's done so many (nine) times, lead his team back to win.
"Against that team? Extremely difficult," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said, via Mike Wells of ESPN.com. "That's Andrew being Andrew. We're very lucky — no pun intended — to have him."
The guy has played 21 games, won 15 of them. That means 60 percent of the time, he delivers them in dramatic fashion, and they're getting used to it.
Prior to the 14-play, 86-yard drive that put his side ahead for good, he calmly walked into the huddle and told his team "let's go get this," so they did.
"Truth is, we know we have to do our part because we know he's going to do his part," right tackle Gosder Cherilus said. "We know the kid has major heart. As long as we do our part — I'm talking about all 10 of us — we know he'll do his.
"It's one of those things where we keep playing and keep going we'll be fine with him leading the way."
That belief goes a long way, and will keep the Colts thinking they have a chance, as long as he's on the field.

Before the "Lost Men" of Shackleton's Ross Sea Party lost their ship (and in some cases, their lives), they took 22 photos of Antarctica. Now their pictures have been rediscovered and restored. Kelly Tyler-Lewis, author of a book on the Ross Sea Party, describes the images and what happened to the men who took them.

I have to find the P and N positions for the following combinatorial game:
There are two pots which are initially filled with a and b stones respectively, with a and b greater than or equal to 1. Use the notation (a, b) to represent the number of stones in each pot.
In each turn, a player chooses a pot that has more than 1 stone and empties the other pot. He then divides up the stones from the pot he chose among the two pots, in any way he likes as long as he puts at least one stone in each pot. The terminal state of the game is (1, 1) (i.e., exactly one stone in each pot).
Example 1: Say we begin with (1, 4). Since pot a contains 1, we must chose pot b, and empty pot a. Now, we can divide up the 4 stones between the two pots in any of the following ways: (1, 3); (2, 2)
Note that this is a normal game.
So I need to find the N and P positions for this game.
By using the recursive definition of P and N positions and drawing game trees, I have reached the conclusion that:
P positions are those where a and b are both ODD numbers
N positions are where out of (a,b), one is an odd number and the other is a even number; or out of (a,b), both are even numbers
I need to prove this though. I was going about on doing a proof by induction.
I thought to show that for each case (both odd; both even; one odd and one even) I will show that we end up with the respective P and N positions.
This is my induction hypothesis:
For some (c,d), where c is less than a, and d is less than b, assume that the following is true:
The P positions are those when (c,d) are both odd numbers
The N positions are those when: in (c,d), c is odd number and d is even number, or in (c,d), are both even numbers
I know, it looks terrible. I don't know what other thing to come up with.
What I wanted to ask is:
Is proof by induction the correct strategy?
If yes, then I am confused as to what the induction hypothesis should be.
If no, then what other proof strategy is good?

so we beat the heat, and lose to the bobcats and hawks? i dont understand. anyways, good to see j-rich hit a career high against a good team. good energy, bad freethrows. good game
yea excellent win for the Ws. FTs made the game a little more nerve wrecking than necessary but they held them off in the end. seems like the broadcasting jinx is in full effect, barny says wade only made 8 3s all year, and then wade makes a 3. if monty has learned anything it should be: playing the young guns will help us win. and we all thought the Ws would get blown out by 20 or 30 pts, haha silly us.
and yea jrich does belong on the all star team and does deserve to get invited to the olympic team. and he can hang with the best of them as he nicely stated in the post game interview.
congrats on a new career high, lets hope he drops 46 on the magic.

Beat one of the top 4 teams in the nba and lose to 2 of the 5 worst teams just days earlier!
This team makes no sense!
And it looks like TNT WILL still be broadcasting the Twolves-Warriors game next week at this time.

we dont play well under pressure. now that these are meaningless games, we'll close off the season strong like we did last season, again winning many meaningless games.
the warriors went into miami knowing they were underdogs and had nothing to lose.
That's probably true! It is not professional at all!!!!!!
Be great to see the team finish the season like last season but that would make them a playoff team which means most games would become pressure games and they would probably lose
