The Curse of Coghlan
I snagged 12 baseballs that day.
That was the last time I would reach double-digits…that is, until this past Monday 8/17/09.
I had ten or more baseballs snagged in seven (7) of my 1st eighteen (18) games this season.
The next twenty-nine (29) games…nada.
Finally, I reached the coveted double-digit plateau in the 30th game since Coghlan.
Is the Curse of Coghlan over??
I think so.
The note reads:
"Hard feelings aside, congrats on a fine rookie season!
Good luck down the stretch."
Of course…all in good fun.

text: CULTURE Disney Teams With William Goldman on Stage Version of 'Princess Bride' 11:43 AM PST 11/11/2013 by David Rooney FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME The new deal, shepherded by Alan Horn, follows an aborted attempt several years ago to develop the property as a musical with composer Adam Guettel. NEW YORK – "Inconceivable?" No, "As you wish." Disney Theatrical Productions has announced plans to collaborate with William Goldman on a stage work based on his 1973 fairy tale, The Princess Bride, and on his screenplay for the beloved 1987 Rob Reiner film that became a cult classic. The deal was shepherded by Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn, who was involved with the screen version during his tenure at Castle Rock. No timeline or creative team for the show has been announced. Nor has it been decided if the project will be a musical or a play, though given the Disney stage arm's predominant history with musicals, that seems a good bet. PHOTOS: Broadway Musicals That Have Sung Their Way to the Big Screen "My involvement in The Princess Bride goes back to 1987 and it has always been close to my heart," said Horn. "For all those years and a few more, I've been friends with the brilliant Bill Goldman, and to now have a stage production of this film in development at Disney is honestly a dream come true. It couldn't be in better hands than those of the experienced Disney Theatrical team led by Tom Schumacher." Framed as a story told by a kindly old man to his ailing grandson, it spins a comic tale of love and adventure about Buttercup, a young beauty reluctantly engaged to the kingdom of Florin's evil prince but kidnapped on the eve of their wedding. She is ultimately rescued by her farmboy sweetheart Westley, aided by a giant and a Spanish master swordsman. Reiner's movie starred Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn, Andre the Giant, Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest and Peter Falk. It was produced by Andrew Scheinman and Reiner, and executive produced by Norman Lear. VIDEO: 'Princess Bride' Cast Reunites on 'Good Morning America' The Disney agreement will be welcome news for fans of the book and movie who got their hopes up when a stage musical based on the property was announced several years ago. Goldman collaborated on that project with Adam Guettel, the Tony-winning composer of The Light in the Piazza. But while much of the score was completed, development was halted in 2007 over a financial dispute. No material from that aborted attempt will be used in the developing Disney version. The powerhouse theatrical division's long-running behemoth, The Lion King, recently passed the $1 billion box-office threshold on Broadway, marking a historic first. Disney will open its latest stage musical, Aladdin, on Broadway early next year, following the current Toronto tryout. Previews start Feb. 26 at the New Amsterdam Theatre, with opening night set for March 20. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME David Rooney firstname.lastname@example.com @thr

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Eric Lusby scored five goals, and Jack Runkel made a career-high 15 saves for Loyola University Maryland, and the No. 1 seeded Greyhounds defeated the Unviersity of Notre Dame, 7-5, on Saturday afternoon in the NCAA Lacrosse Semifinals.
The win moved the Greyhounds (17-1 overall) to a date in Monday's NCAA Championship Game where it will play the University of Maryland. Monday will be Loyola's second all-time NCAA Championship Game appearance, joining the 1990 team as Greyhound squads to make the title match. Monday's game will be broadcast on ESPN.
"We're excited about the opportunity," Head Coach Charley Toomeysaid. "We'll go back to work tonight. We just kept going week-to-week (this season) with (good) work ethic, with that same philosophy that we're going to take care of each other."
Lusby scored twice in the first quarter, once in the second and then tallied both Loyola goals in the third period. He also assisted on a Davis Butts goal in the second to finish with six points. He raised his season total to 50 goals, tying himself for second on Loyola's single-season goals scored record, one behind teammate Mike Sawyer.
Sawyer and Lusby became the first pair of Loyola teammates to score 50 goals in a season.
"I'm playing confident right now," said Lusby who had his second-straight five-goal game. "The past few games, I've had a pretty good shooting percentage. I see net, and I shoot for net. I don't try to pick corners."
Lusby got the scoring underway 3:34 into the first quarter when he took a pass from Chris Layne, drove topside from goal-line extended to score from inside five yards.
Notre Dame (13-3) tied the game with 7:57 to play in the first when Alex Eaton scored on an extra-man opportunity.
Lusby, however, put the Greyhounds back on top with 3:21 to go in the frame when he dodged and ducked two defenders, dumping a shot over the right shoulder of Notre Dame goalkeeper John Kemp.
Butts made it 3-1 in Loyola's favor 2:01 into the second quarter when he took a Lusby pass from behind while crashing down the right side, scoring from close range.
Lusby pushed the Greyhounds' lead to 4-1 with a nine-yard blast off a Justin Ward assist.
Notre Dame would snap a 20-plus minute scoreless stretch at 2:10 when Westy Hopkins worked his way free from a double-team and tallied his first of two in the game.
The Fighting Irish would not wait even 20 seconds for their next goal, as Liam O'Connor won the ensuing faceoff, raced into the box and fed Nicholas Beattie on the left side for a goal six seconds after Hopkins'.
Loyola looked likely to carry a 4-3 lead into the locker room until Josh Hawkins caused a Notre Dame turnover, and Joe Fletcher came up with one of his career-high seven ground balls.
Hawkins carried the ball into the box on transition and sent a high bouncer over Kemp with just 2.2 ticks left on the clock, putting Loyola up 5-3 at the break.
Notre Dame won the second half's first faceoff – the Fighting Irish were 13-of-14 at the face-off `X' in the game – but Runkel made a save on a Hopkins shot and sent an outlet pass over the top of the defense to J.P. Dalton.
Dalton took the ball into the top of the box where he passed to Mike Sawyeron the left side. Sawyer looked off a shot and sent a cross-field pass to Lusby on the low right crease, and Lusby shot-faked and scored 21 seconds into the frame.
Lusby made Loyola's lead 7-3 with 11:40 left in the third, running down the alley to score his fifth of the game.
That goal, however, would be Loyola's final of the game.
Neither the Greyhounds, nor Notre Dame would score until the Fighting Irish broke through with a Sean Rogers tally at 7:18 in the fourth quarter. Hopkins then added another goal just 50 seconds later, making it a 7-5 game.
Runkel made saves on the next two Fighting Irish possessions that quickly gave Loyola possessions.
He then tipped away a Hopkins point-blank try from inside three yards, but Notre Dame retained possession with a minute to play.
Hopkins had another attempt blocked, and then Fletcher stripped him of the ball and picked up ground ball with 16 seconds left, enabling Loyola to run out the clock.
Runkel made 11 of his 15 saves in the second half.
"I think the first save, I made was up top," Runkel said. "It kind of got me into a rhythm. My defense was giving me shots to see a very clear line from the shooter."
He eclipsed his previous best of 14 that came against Johns Hopkins on April 28.

(Ed. Note: 24 states celebrate Arbor Day on the last Friday in April, the same date as National Arbor Day, which this year falls on the 27th. This week, we'll be highlighting what a variety of regions are doing to prepare for the tree-planting holiday. Today, we will feature Western states; Monday was New England; yesterday was the Mid-Atlantic; Thursday the Midwest; and Friday the Great Plains.)
Four Western States – Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah – and one Southwestern State – Texas – are among the two dozen whose state Arbor Day celebration coincides with the national holiday this Friday. Tree-lined Boise, the capital of Idaho, is pictured above.
While information on Arbor Day activities from state officials is limited, residents are encouraged to take advantage of the arbordaynow.org Volunteer Center.
The Montana, Wyoming and Idaho-based Greater Yellowstone Whitebark Pine Committee is one of 16 individuals and organizations being recognized by the Foundation at the annual Arbor Day Awards.
Whitebark pine trees are critical to the ecosystem of the Greater Yellowstone Area, but the species faces several threats, including white pine blister rust, increasing mountain pine beetle outbreaks and competition from other forest species. The Greater Yellowstone Whitebark Pine Committee has been effective at beginning to address those threats.
The State of Idaho is currently home to 71 Tree City USA communities, accounting for nearly one million people. The largest Tree City USA in Idaho is Boise, population 205,314; the smallest is Menan, population 102.
Montana, a name derived from the Spanish word for mountains, is about one-third mountain ranges. It is one of the least populous states in the country, sending only one representative to the U.S. House, despite covering 150,000 square miles.
Gallatin National Forest covers more than two million acres in south central Montana. The forest has been the focus of replanting efforts led by the Foundation and Enterprise. Bitteroot National Forest has also been targeted for replanting.
The State of Montana is currently home to 42 Tree City USA communities, accounting for nearly half a million people. The largest Tree City USA in Montana is Billings, population 105,845; the smallest is Drummond, population 325.
The Silver State is vast and mountainous, with the bulk of its people condensed into large metropolitan areas like Las Vegas and Reno. Nevada also sports some of the hottest and driest temperatures in the country. The shading effect of a well-placed tree is invaluable.
The State of Nevada is currently home to 12 Tree City USA communities, accounting for 1.3 million people. The largest Tree City USA in Nevada is Las Vegas, population 606,846; the smallest is Nas Fallon, population 3,000.
The Beehive State has large patches of uninhabited land, much of which is owned by the Federal Government. While dispersed on the whole, Utah is in fact one of the more urbanized states in the country. It is also among the fastest-growing.
Utah joins a number of states in offering an Arbor Day poster contest for children.
The State of Utah is currently home to 77 Tree City USA communities, accounting for 1.8 million people. The largest Tree City USA in Utah is Salt Lake City, population 174,000; the smallest is New Harmony, population 209.
In February, we wrote about the Lone Star State's loss of 5.6 million urban trees this year due to drought. Fortunately, many of the largest cities in Texas are making a concerted effort to plant and nurture their trees.
The Committed to Community Growth Program, a project of Irving-based TXU Energy, is also receiving an Arbor Day Award this weekend in recognition of its effective partnership to improve the tree canopy in population-rich North Texas.
The State of Texas is currently home to 72 Tree City USA communities, accounting for 10 million people. The largest Tree City USA in Texas is Houston, population 2.3 million; the smallest is Buffalo Gap, population 463.

The folks at Next Media Animation—who've become infamous for presenting bizarre CGI takes on the news—speculate on what the teaser for Rockstar Games' just announced upcoming sequel will look like. Honestly, while it apes some of the visual signifiers of the GTA games, the silent clip makes close to no sense whatsoever. Does the kid fantasize about going on a Nerf crime spree, only to play Angry Birds instead? Who can tell? Anyway, the real trailer for GTA V comes out on Wednesday. And NMA will probably try to spoof that, too.

Hello All,
I am relatively new to this site and recently something happened and I don't know what to think about it or how to process it. Here it is: About a week ago I emailed a gentleman whose profile I found interesting and asked if he thought my profile was interesting. He emailed me back and sent me his email and phone number (SO YOU WOULD THINK THAT HE ALSO SAW MY PROFILE [WITH MY PIC] AND THOUGHT THAT I WAS ACCEPTABLE).
The first phone conversation that we had lasted nearly THREE hours!!! We talked about everything from religion to politics to history. It was like everything that I have told GOD that I wanted in a man, he fit it. We have similar backgrounds, have similar morals, values, and principles. I had never felt such a connection to anyone before (of course I didn't tell him that).
Well, we talked a bit the next day and the day after that we sent text messages back and forth. He sent me a recent pic of himself and I explained to him that I didn't take pictures because I was ugly and fat. Now again, the one pic that I have recently taken is on my profile page. I don't think I am extremely ugly, I guess just a bit or average. I use self-deprecating humor as a defense mechanism, I guess.
Well the next day he texted me and wrote that he didn't think we were a good match and it was nice talking to me. I responded by saying that I was confused but I told him good luck and take care. NOW I am really bugging out about what went wrong. I wasn't being pushy or taking things too fast or anything. I just don't know exactly what I did to turn him off.
The ONLY thing that I can possibly come up with is after I said that I didn't take pictures is because I was fat and ugly, he went to my profile AND ACTUALLY REALLY LOOKED AT MY PIC, AGREED THAT I WAS FAT AND UGLY, AND DECIDED THAT I WAS NOT WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR. This is the best that I can come up with but I am still confused because my pic was always on my profile and I assumed that he saw it prior to giving me his number and as far as being fat that site is called large friends for a reason, right!!!
I will not ask him directly, but I was hoping that someone could offer me their opinion of my situation. Whatever I did, I don't want to do it the next time I meet a guy (IF THERE IS A NEXT TIME). Thanks for your opinions and advice.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Without an honest answer - and "sorry, we're not compatible" is the ultimate cop-out, you will never know for certain.
And think about it - you might just have saved yourself from a scammer keen to get to know you and sus you out for the potential to be scammed.
I have to admit though, I often wonder why men are on this site after big women. No men of my acquaintance will admit to liking big women. So many guys seem to be after a bit on the side to supplement what they're not getting at home from their spouses or partners. And that's the biggest insult to every big, beautiful woman on this website who is here because she wants to find someone with whom to share her life.
Take a deep breath, look at that guy who turned you away after all of that talking and soul searching, and think to yourself: "Sorry, honey, it's not me - it's YOU!!!"
All the best to you.

No other mountains on this continent rise so high so fast, in slightly less than seven horizontal miles, the peak rises from 800 to 10,804 feet above sea level! But these mountains hold another distinction as well.
California's Gold with Huell Howser
Some people like it — to others, it's a nuisance. Something "to come in out of." But like it or not, everyone would agree it's been a part of the history of California since the very beginning. We're talking about wind. And on this particular adventure, host Huell Howser goes in search of some of the most historic and strongest wind around.

Snow and Ice
Sunny beaches and swaying palm trees are very much a part of what California is all about. So are snow and ice. And to prove it, host Huell Howser and camerman Luis Fuerte bundle up and travel to one of the coldest places in our state in search of historic snow and ice. They find it first in a lake near Truckee in Nevada County.

San Miguel Island
In this episode, Huell visits San Miguel Island, with a group of history buffs who recreate the 1542 landing of Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo -- the first European explorer of the California Coast. Complete with authentic costumes, boats, and the fact that its done on the deserted white sandy beaches, this re-enactment really does take you back in time. Huell is also joined by Nation Park Rangers, and a woman who actually lived on the island with her parents during the 1930's and 40's.

Huntington Central Park
Huntington Beach is known as "Surf City", but in this adventure, we wont even get near the ocean. Huntington Central Park is the largest city-owned park in Orange County covering over 350 acres of land. Huell visits the Shipley Nature Center, an 18-acre natural area filled with beautiful winding paths and spectacular flora and fauna. Next it's off to The Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center which is home to 420 privately owned horses and surrounded by 185 acres of public trails.

China Clipper
They were huge flying boats named after the great sailing ships that in the 1800's sailed the oceans of the world. The luxurious Pan American "Clipper" planes of the 1930's took cargo, mail and passengers around the world in what was, for its time, considered a daring and pioneering feat. Pan American's Treasure Island terminal and lagoon became the home port for the Clipper's Pacific operations -- connecting the United States with the Far East by air.

Blue Angels
They're one of the most famous air squadrons in the world -- serving as positive role models and goodwill ambassadors not only for our Navy, but for our country. We're talking about the Blue Angels who, since first formed in 1946, have been demonstrating their flying skills and maneuvers to literally millions of spectators each year. And for over 30 years the Blue Angels have been a part of "California's Gold." Since 1967 the squadron has spent the winter at Naval Air Facility, El Centro, training pilots and new crew members.

See's Candy
It started back in 1921 and quickly became one of California's biggest and "sweetest" success stories. The little shop on Western Avenue featured the favorite candy recipes of Mary See and focused on farm-fresh ingredients and homemade goodness. Before long this little shop had grown into a chain of stores serving loyal customers, and See's Candies had become famous around the world.
California's Gold with Huell Howser
Shasta Dam
When most people think of Shasta Lake, they imagine themselves on a houseboat enjoying California's largest manmade reservoir. With 365 miles of shoreline it is a boaters paradise. What most people don't think about is the massive structure that is responsible for holding back the water that creates Shasta Lake. We're talking about Shasta Dam which, is a perfect example of "California's Gold". Construction of the dam started in 1938 and ended in 1945. It's 602 feet high, 883 feet thick at the bottom, 30 feet thick at the top, and 3,460 feet long.
Visiting with Huell Howser
Abalone Farm
Huell travels to the Central Coast to visit an abalone farm. For years, Californians could pluck these mollusks off the rocks at low tide. However, overfishing and pollution has led to their decline. The Abalone Farm Inc. in Cayucos has been growing and selling the edible sea snails since 1968. Huell also goes to a local cafe to sample some farm-raised abalone.

Very professionally done. You should really remove this page and put 'updates to come to Android phones one day, we're not really sure when.' I think I will be switching phones to the nexus devices to actually get updates faster than this half a snail's pace. The Telus experience is not one I'm impressed with. Makes me consider switching providers.
Yeah well i'm still waiting for my S6 update. That hasn't been released yet
@nakedgeezer @Kenv other providers who have released the update are experiencing issues. You should be thanking telus and samsung canada for preventing unnecessary frustration caused by faulty software updates.
See links for reference points.

Moto E supposed to be out today, not seeing the update.
I agree with @Dark_Knight that getting the updates sooner with bugs would not be better than getting the update later without bugs...
But this experience with my Telus SG6 has taught me that I should reconsider my choice of phone (and my carrier) in the future if I want to prioritize getting Android updates as quickly as possible.
I think my frustration most fittingly lies with Samsung (not Telus) in this case, and if they haven't gotten their act together regarding Android updates yet, I don't expect them to do so any more effectively in the future. Too bad the reason is probably their insistence on "branding" the experience (Touchwiz), which I'd gladly do without if it meant being able to get the Android updates sooner. Just remember that Samsung is imposing this upon themselves (and we users are paying the price)...
Wow. Galaxy S6 delayed yet again.
Oh look The GS 6 Has bumped up the date to April 18th . Surprise Surprise
Im struggling to find anywhere or anyone that can tell me the date for the Galaxy S5? Telus techs on Twitter wont even answer me.
Are you freaking kidding me Telus! The S6 Edge update was scheduled for today and now all the sudden its the 18th. Wtf Telus! This is unacceptable. Give us the update and stop making us wait. Pick a freaking day and stick to it.
Seriously??? this is like child's play. I am waiting to upgrade my S6 Edge and now I see date is moved. Telus... YOU SUCK...
S6 Edge pushed again - the day of the update!! Come on.
Every one that is complaining about the GS6 and edge being pushed, they did that two weeks ago. Also, this is a ploy by telus to try and get everyone to buy the newest phones available. There's no reason the LG G3 should have gotten an update so far ahead of the S6 and S6 edge that were top of the line not on year ago.
They didn't change it 2 weeks ago for the edge! I checked last night right before I went to bed and it still showed that the update would be TODAY.
I contacted Telus and they couldn't tell me why it was changed again. The customer service rep that I talked to was a jerk. He actually told me that if I wanted the newest update then I should go buy a Nexus. I understand that in the end it comes down to Samsung. I just wanted an explanation. He wouldn't even address my LTE issue.
Update for the S6 Edge is downloading now.
Mine just finished updating about 20 minutes ago.
I just started downloading for S6 Edge and the 1253 MB update is at 50% after seven minutes. Another four minutes to wait is not too bad after waiting for so many months... :-)
Upgraded my S6 edge. Process was slow but smooth. Fixed my Auto bright issue. Hope I get better battery life on this.. fingers crossed... if it doesn't.. finger will be raised
I have a 1st gen Moto G but didn't receive any update these days.
Also, no any update for LG G4?

"Ballroom Battle" New Segment On Dancing With The Stars 13?
Today at twitter, @DWTSGossip is reporting 12 couples will be dancing on Season 13 of Dancing With The Stars. She also mentions the "new segment" for which several of the pros have been tweeting on and we've been reporting on in the past. Apparently, the new segment will be called "Ballroom Battle". More details below from @DWTSGossip.
Season 13 of DWTS will return in a true fall fashion with 12 couples.
As some of you may already know, dwts will have a new segment. It's called Ballroom Battle. Karina, Tony, Mark, Cheryl, Lacey,and Louis will be forming teams. They will all field one couple and coach/choreograph them. The pros will still compete with their celebs if they are asked back. This is an additional segment.
She doesn't mention Maks, but, I think he'll be involved too since he and Tony are running the same studio.
Anyway, this sounds fun and different. I can't wait to see what it's about. I also tend to think the pros above listed will be asked to come back to compete with a celebrity, do you? If true, add Derek Hough to the list, and that makes 8 competing dancers. This leaves 4 vacant spots. I pray Damian Whitewood and Peta Murgatroyd will be asked.
Heidi's Note: I'm not sure I agree. While it will be a cool segment – think of the additional burden it puts on the pros DURING the season. So they would have a partner they will have to work with every day AND an amature couple for this other competition?? Sounds like someone is asking to get injured. Please leave Derek off this list. 🙂 I think that because of the work load burden, it is absolutely NOT a guarantee that those pros will also field partners. Who is left besides those 5? Derek, Maks, Chelsey, Anna, Kym, Dmitry, Damian, and Corky? Add Jonathan? Also adding Peta gets you up to ten. Are they going to promote some of the Troupe? Wasn't the whole point of the Troupe to relieve some of the pro dance burdens on the competing pros?? Doesn't this exercise add that burden back in and even increase it?? That said, I can certainly see why pros who own studios would want to do it – it will be great PR. The kind of PR you can't buy, actually.

In the Canadian city of Toronto, the need for energy is constantly growing. The electricity grid has reached its maximum capacity and therefore, power plants are encouraging the inhabitants to save electricity.
Toronto is the fifth largest city in North America and one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Its population grows by more than 100,000 every year, and currently, the Greater Toronto Area is home to some 6 million people. Because of this, energy consumption is rapidly becoming an increasing problem.
The main contributing factor is the newly constructed high-rise buildings. The Toronto area already has 5,000 buildings of various sizes and plans are in place to construct another 300 new high-rises, with nearly 200 of them being built in the city centre this year alone.
Change through incentives
At Toronto Hydro, one of the area's largest energy providers, a comprehensive energy saving incentive programme was launched in order to help the customers administer their energy consumption, explains Albert Payne, Senior Project Consultant at Toronto Hydro:
"Many customers have completed lighting retrofits and are now looking for other areas with huge savings potential. And in that search, old booster pumps in high-rises have turned out to be one of the blind spots that needed some attention. Thanks in part to Grundfos' support and expertise, we have developed an auditing programme to really look for the potential energy savings," he says.
Old, oversized and inefficient pump systems account for 30 per cent of the total amount of wasted energy, and the obvious solution is a complete upgrade.
Great savings
Toronto is the capital city in the Ontario region. In order to reduce the electricity consumption of the entire Ontario region by a much needed 62 gigawatt hours of electricity within the next few years, the Ontario Power Authority wishes to replace thousands of old pump systems.
"To encourage building owners to replace old pumps with new, high-efficiency pumps we offer up to 50 per cent of the total project cost. But in order to qualify for the incentive programme we require a pump audit and Grundfos' expertise has helped some of our applicants through this process," explains Jennifer Grado, Technical Energy Consultant at Toronto Hydro.
And this is where Grundfos comes in. Grundfos is currently the only pump manufacturer with a pump-specific audit program.
Focus on booster pumps
"Grundfos' pump audit programme is focusing on booster pumps, because old booster pumps are known to be oversized by three to ten times of a building's actual need, they are operating at a constant speed and have reached their end-of-life condition at 15 years of age", says Feras Marish, Business Development Manager and head of the Grundfos pump audit programme in Canada.
According to Marish, some buildings waste as much as 15,000 Canadian dollars annually on power consumption.
"Thanks to Grundfos' support and expertise, we developed an auditing programme to really look for the potential energy savings."
Albert Payne, senior project consultant at Toronto Hydro
"The average payback time is around two years, but I have had projects where it has been as short a time span as six months. The incentives offered also help make the projects even more attractive with short paybacks and energy savings, and that has really been an eye opener in the market," says Feras Marish.
During a six-month period, Grundfos audited 45 booster pump systems. The resulting pump retrofits brought about a reduction in the power consumption by more than 2.5 million kilowatt hours (kWh) annually, leading to savings for building owners worth more than 300,000 Canadian dollars annually.

I do love a good sponge; it has always been a weakness of mine. This week I decided to keep it really simple – a lovely sponge with thick white icing. Given it's turned out to be the hottest weekend of the year so far, it was a good choice – definitely not the time to be making delicate buttercreams!
I toyed with calling this a bakewell sponge, but it is more bakewell influenced in that it borrows the idea of almond, cherry and icing. There is something about adding almond to a sponge that elevates it to a higher level of delight – particularly the day after baking when all the nutty richness has been released.
I have finally realised – embarrassingly late, perhaps – how much better hot water is than cold when making a white icing/glaze. Not sure why, but my thought would be that the hot water (I used boiled, straight from the kettle) melts the sugar on impact giving a smoother finish, and then sets quicker. Am I imagining it, or do you agree?
This recipe is similar (but not identical) to a previous bakewell sandwich cake that I made. In that recipe I made the cake in two sandwich tins and used jam and icing.
For the cake:
265g unsalted butter, at room temperature
265g caster sugar
4 eggs
265 self raising flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
35g ground almonds
1 teaspoon almond extract
5 tablespoons soured cream
265g caster sugar
4 eggs
265 self raising flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
35g ground almonds
1 teaspoon almond extract
5 tablespoons soured cream
For the icing:
200g icing sugar
2-3 tablespoons hot water, or enough to make a thick, but pourable, icing
2-3 tablespoons hot water, or enough to make a thick, but pourable, icing
To decorate: glace cherries
Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
Line a 20cm square pan with baking paper. If you prefer, you could use a 30cm x 20cm traybake tin but you will get a 'flatter' sponge.
Beat together the butter and sugar until pale, light and whippy. It should look almost like whipped cream.
Beat in the eggs one at a time. If the mixture looks like it might curdle beat in some of the flour.
Stir in the flour, baking powder, ground almonds, soured cream and almond extract.
Spoon into the prepared tin and level the surface.
Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out cleanly. Start checking the cake for 'done-ness' after 40 minutes. NB, if you are using the shallower traybake tin only bake for approximately 30 minutes before checking.
Leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tin; the cake will settle a little.
Remove from the tin and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
Now make the icing: beat together the icing sugar and water until you have a thick but pourable glaze. Always add the water gradually – it's easy to add more, but harder to correct a too runny consistency.
Pour the glaze over the cake and leave to set.
Before fully set decorate the top of the cake with glace cherries. I chose to leave them whole so they stood proud from the icing.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have created.

Carl Hum, Director, Mayor's Office of Industrial and Manufacturing Businesses Named President of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce
After an eight month search, the Board of Directors of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce has tapped Carl Hum to lead the 1,500 member business services and economic development organization.
"I am delighted about Carl coming on board as the new Chamber president. This is a phenomenal organization with a firm foundation for him to build on," said Brooklyn Chamber Chairman, Daniel Holt of Courier Life Publications. "Carl has proven himself thoughtful, demonstrative, and a qualitative thinker. His experience, enthusiasm and skills will help take the Chamber and the myriad services it provides to new heights."
Mr. Hum succeeds Kenneth Adams who left the Brooklyn Chamber in October 2006 to head The Business Council of New York State; and, grabs the helm of the organization from Chief Operating Officer, Mark M. Kessler who saw the organization through the transition as interim president.
"I am honored and excited to lead the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, the borough's premier economic development organization. I look forward to working with the membership, the board and most importantly, the dedicated staff in building upon the Chamber's successes and shaping its agenda to respond to the diverse needs of Brooklyn businesses. I want to thank Dan Holt, the Board and staff for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Mr. Hum was appointed Director of the Mayor's Office of Industrial and Manufacturing Businesses in January 2005 by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. Under his direction, the Office created 16 Industrial Business Zones, developed industry-specific tax credits and incentives, and continues to improve inter-agency service delivery to manufacturing and industrial businesses. The Office also administers the City's 11 Empire Zones that offer a variety of State tax credits to spur business and job development.
Prior to his appointment by Mayor Bloomberg, Mr. Hum served as Chief-Of-Staff and special counsel for intergovernmental affairs at the New York City Department of Small Business Services, leading the Agency's day-to-day operations.
Over the last 15 years, Mr. Hum has been professionally involved in Civic affairs, working in all three branches of New York City government. He served as a financial analyst at the City Council, studying the impact of the City's economic development strategy on local communities. He then worked at the South Brooklyn Local Development Corporation as director of economic development, where he spearheaded an employment program to link local residents with jobs in Red Hook's industrial business community.
In 1997, Mr. Hum was appointed assistant district attorney in New York County, where for nearly six years; he prosecuted felony cases, provided legal counsel to police investigations and worked with the Domestic Violence Unit.
Mr. Hum, a graduate of the New York City public school system, grew up in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. He holds a B.A. degree from Wesleyan University, where he graduated with High Honors, and a J.D. from Fordham University School of Law, where he was a Louis Stein Scholar for Public Interest and Ethics.
Mr. Hum will assume his new post September 4, 2007.

FARGO, N.D.—Freshman Kavita Battan notched the Vandals first goal of the season and redshirt freshman Elexis Schlossarekadded a goal of her own but North Dakota State was able to withstand Idaho's offensive push and walked off Dacotah Field on Friday with the 3-2 advantage.
Idaho (0-4-0) had its best offensive showing of the season. The Vandals fired off six shots on the day, four of which made it through to NDSU keeper Sierra Bonham. Bonham was forced to make three saves on the day.
"I was happy with the offensive output today," head coach Pete Showler said following the game. "We started executing on what we have been working on and it was effective today. As a team we still need to keep improving, but it was nice to see two players get their first career goals."
North Dakota State (2-3-0) got on the board early with a set-piece goal on a corner kick. Amy Yang found Anisha Kinnarath off the corner kick and Kinnarath found the back of the net 6:10 into the game. The Bison led 1-0 for a majority of the first half. The two teams traded possessions until Battan even the score in the 33rd minute. Junior transfer Kat Comesana combined with Battan on a crossing pass and Battan stuffed it home to even the score, 1-1.
At the start of the second half keeper Torell Stewart subbed in for Marina Siegl. Stewart, who started the previous game, didn't face a shot on goal until the 66th minute when Lauren Miller was able to a shot off from 20-yards out to beat Stewart. Just over two minutes later Stewart took down the NDSU forward inside the goal box in a race to the ball, drawing the linesman to award a penalty kick. Kinnarath converted the spot kick for her second goal of the game.
In similar fashion Schlossarek converted on a penalty kick opportunity in the 78th minute. Battan got tackled inside the goal box, and Schlossareck executed the penalty kick for her first-career points, bringing the Vandals within one goal. The Vandals fought hard in the final 12 minutes to get the tying goal, but NDSU held tight for their second win of the season.
Idaho will travel to Omaha, Neb., to battle Creighton (2-2-0) on Sunday. First kick is set for 11:00 a.m. PT.
NOTES: NDSU's converted penalty kick was the first successful conversion against Idaho since Oct. 26, 2007 against Nevada…Three of the previous attempts had been saved and one went wide…Schlossarek's PK goal was the first for the Vandals since Chelsea Small (2009-12) converted on Oct. 28, 2010 against San Jose State…Senior defender Chelsie Breen has started a total of 64 matches for Idaho, now tied for 11th all-time with Christine Rennick (1998-01)…Idaho holds a 3-1 series lead over NDSU.

The first time Catwoman made a comic-book appearance, back in 1940, Batman cheekily threatened to spank her. Now she's on the verge of slapping him right back and stealing Friday's "The Dark Knight Rises" right out from under his pointy-eared cowl.
"Of course Catwoman is more popular than Batman," Julie Newmar, who played the character in the 1960s TV series, tells The Post. "Catwoman's her own boss, she makes up her own mind. Catwoman will go on just about forever."
So far so good. The feline villainess, who's been around in various forms for some 70 years, is now being reanimated by Anne Hathaway in the conclusion of director Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Oscar-nominated Hathaway adds gravitas to a character frequently played as a campy vamp by everyone from Eartha Kitt to Halle Berry.
"We felt very strongly that we should have Catwoman in this film, but we always look for an organic way of grounding the characters in our world," Nolan says. "We needed to find the balance between the classic image of the character and a believable person you care about. Casting Anne Hathaway in the role was the key to that."
Initially, the choice wasn't popular with fanboys. Catwoman has always been portrayed as a coquettish sexpot and Hathaway is more theater geek than bombshell. When the first photos of the character surfaced last year, Gawker wrote that she looked like an "awkward old lady."
But in truth, Hathaway isn't even playing the feline fox. Her role is Selina Kyle, Catwoman's alter ego. ("Catwoman" is never explicitly mentioned in the film.) Kyle is a thief and a con artist who helps draw out Batman; the hero has been in seclusion for eight years after being blamed for the death of DA Harvey Dent in "The Dark Knight." The two costumed figures team up to fight Bane (Tom Hardy), a brutish, masked terrorist who's trying to destroy Gotham.
The Catwoman presented in "The Dark Knight Rises" is another subtle evolution of the character that was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. When she first appeared in "Batman," No. 1, Kyle was called simply the Cat, wore no costume and was nabbed by Batman after a robbery. When she resisted, the Caped Crusader says, "Quiet or papa spank."
Ten years later, her origin was finally revealed. Kyle claimed to be a flight attendant who was driven to a life of crime after being hit on the head and suffering amnesia. In the 1980s, her back story was tweaked to that of a former prostitute who had honed her fighting skills in order to survive on the street.
The 1960s TV series left Catwoman's story ambiguous, while 1992's "Batman Returns" cast Michelle Pfeiffer as a mousy secretary who is killed by her evil boss only to be magically resurrected by alley cats.
(Then there was 2004's "Catwoman" with Halle Berry, but honestly, like you, we didn't see that one.)
Even with Hathaway in place, Nolan struggled to incorporate the character into his version of Batman's cinematic world, which is far darker and more realistic than previous takes.
He started with the costume.
While audiences have been able to swallow a story about a grown man dressing in a rubber bat suit, believing that a sane woman would wander around rooftops wearing cat ears seemed to be a step too far.
"It was crucial that there be a reason for the appearance of the character, not just as Selina but as Catwoman," Nolan says. "For me, the jumping off point was figuring out how to derive a cat-ear shape for her without it literally being a pair of ears."
After trial and error, Nolan and costumer Lindy Hemming settled on giving Kyle a pair of night-vision goggles, much like she wears in her current comic-book incarnation. When flipped on top of her head, the goggles almost accidentally create that familiar silhouette.
Kyle's bodysuit is also utilitarian and is not meant to be that of some costumed alter ego. The black, skintight duds are what she uses to disappear in the darkness while committing burglaries.
"I loved that the focus was on who she was as Selina, and that there wasn't a schism within her," Hathaway says. "She didn't change when she put on the suit. It was kind of her uniform for her job."
The costume consists of two pieces made of polyurethane coated spandex — pants and a top — but a thick utility belt around the character's waist makes it appears to be a seamless bodysuit. Catwoman also wears elbow-length gloves and a nasty pair of spike-heeled boots that double as weapons.
Although it was more breathable than it looks, the costume was still uncomfortable.
"It's almost ridiculously tight," says Amy Staggs, a Pittsburgh actress who served as Hathaway's stand-in and had to wear the top portion of the cat suit. "On a hanger, it looked like something that would barely fit a child. It took some deep yoga breathing to get into."
In order for Hathaway to fill out the costume properly, filmmakers set her up with a nutritionist and trainer so she could make her body more lithe and toned, like a gymnast.
"She was putting herself under a lot of pressure to look amazing," Staggs says. "She gave me a heads up that the cat suit is entirely unforgiving." Or as Hathaway puts it: "If you had to wear a cat suit in front of the entire world, I guarantee you would get your butt to the gym."
Certified nutrition coach Jackie Keller put the vegetarian actress on a diet designed to reduce inflammation and bloating, while boosting her energy levels. Meals included peanut butter-tofu spread, oatmeal, spiced lentils with fresh peas, vegetarian chili and brown-rice pasta with cauliflower. For dessert, there were brownies or almond-milk smoothies.
"She's not a big person to begin with," Keller says of Hathaway, who is around five-foot-seven and under 125 pounds. "It wasn't a weight-loss issue as much as it was going for a certain look in that cat suit."
All the body sculpting was necessary because, let's face it, doesn't sexuality have something to do with the popularity of the character?
"Hello? What kind of dumb question is that?" says Newmar, who designed her own costume when she played Catwoman on TV from 1966-67. "I won't even answer that."
Catwoman, with her hip-hugging costume, whip and flirtatious personality, was created specifically to give the Batman comic "sex appeal," artist Kane has said. He chose a cat because he thought felines were like women — erratic and difficult to understand.
The character, with its not-so-subtle S&M subtext, actually disappeared from the comics from late 1954 to 1966, presumably because the creators felt she would run afoul of the newly instituted Comics Code, which mandated that women be "depicted in dress reasonably acceptable to society."
One thing audiences love most about Catwoman is the way she uses that sensuality in the bubbly interplay with the stiff, seemingly asexual Batman.
"I think Catwoman is the second most important villain in "Batman" after the Joker," says Dr. Will Brooker, author of the new book "Hunting the Dark Knight: Twenty-First Century Batman." "All of Batman's rogue's gallery say something about Batman. Catwoman represents temptation, but in a more romantic way than the Joker."
"In a weird way, she's the yin to his yang," says screenwriter Jonathan Nolan, director Chris' brother. "The dynamic between them is so fresh — the playful way she kind of pokes fun at him — it sparks a connection between them and takes some of the somberness away from his character."
It's little surprise that pretty much every young female in Hollywood was angling for the role. Charlize Theron, Kate Beckinsale and Sienna Miller publicly voiced their desires. Megan Fox was reportedly under consideration, as were Kate Mara, Keira Knightley, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz.
"The thing that's always been intriguing about this part, going all the way back to the television series, [is that] people come up to me and say, 'Now, is she a good guy or a bad guy?' " Pfeiffer says in the documentary "The Many Faces of Catwoman." "It was always left ambiguous. I always liked that."
"Playing her, I was allowed to live in this altered state for a little while where I could just soar," Berry has said. "That feeling of freedom is something that really benefited my own life and it's something that I can carry with me forever."
Sean Young so desperately wanted the role in Tim Burton's 1992 film that when she was passed over, she busted into the Warner Bros. office dressed in a homemade cat costume, reportedly yelling, "What is this bulls – – t?"
Her reasons for coveting the role were far more commercial, however.
"Hollywood has become an unfortunate situation where art and commerce are at odds," Young said (wearing a Catwoman costume, natch) on "The Joan Rivers Show" in 1991. "The big blockbuster becomes what makes it possible to gain more power and to demand more and better roles."
What the role does for Hathaway remains to be seen. What is sure is that this won't be the last we see of Catwoman. If nothing else, reboot-happy Hollywood probably has a Halle Berry do-over in the works.

Pre-Retirement Reduction in Time Base
The Pre-Retirement Reduction in Time Base (PRTB) program allows eligible faculty to
work less than full time while still earning full service credit toward retirement
for up to five years prior to taking retirement. This program affords faculty a transition
period whereby they move from full-time employment to full-time retirement. (To compare
PRTB to another transitional program, also see Faculty Early Retirement (FERP) program).
Eligibility for Pre-Retirement Reduction in Time Base
- Tenured faculty who are at least 55 years of age and not yet 65 years of age at the
time they request entry into PRTB (or not yet 64 years of age if a member of STRS)
are eligible to enter the program if they satisfy the following conditions:
- The faculty unit employee has worked full-time in the CSU for at least ten (10) years
- S/he has been employed full-time continuously for the five (5) years immediately preceding entry into the PRTB program.
- The faculty unit employee has worked full-time in the CSU for at least ten (10) years
- Participants in PRTB may request a reduction in timebase to two-thirds (2/3), one-half (1/2), or one-third (1/3) of full-time for the academic year. Once the reduction has been granted, the participant may not return to full-time employment unless the President approves a request to return to full-time employment.
- Entry into the program begins at the start of the academic year.
- The maximum length of time one can participate in PRTB is five consecutive years
- Both the CSU and the faculty unit employee continue to make contributions to PERS or STRS based upon the regular full-time rate of pay. This way, participants in PRTB continue to earn full service credit toward retirement while working a reduced schedule.
- Faculty who wish to enter PRTB must notify the President in writing, via the Office of Faculty Affairs, at least six (6) months in advance, so that departments have sufficient time to plan course assignments.
- PRTB participants are ineligible for sabbatical and difference in pay leaves.
- Sick leave accrues on a pro rata basis.
- As with regular full-time employment, PRTB participants are paid in twelve monthly

G.A.B. Certifies Fall 2012 Election Results
MADISON, WI – Wisconsin set a voter turnout record in the Fall 2012 General Election, according to official results certified today by the Government Accountability Board.
"The 3,071,434 votes cast for President was the highest number of votes cast for a single office in a statewide election in Wisconsin history. This record turnout reflects the voting public's deep-rooted commitment to participate in the selection of their governmental leaders," said Kevin J. Kennedy, Wisconsin's chief election official. "Wisconsin's turnout rate of 70.14 percent of eligible voters casting ballots in the presidential race was the fourth-highest percentage since records have been kept going back to 1948."
Board Chair David G. Deininger certified the official results of the November 6 election, which are now available on the Board's website: http://gab.wi.gov/elections-voting/results. Updated statistics are now available as well: http://gab.wi.gov/elections-voting/statistics.
Kennedy praised voters, poll workers and local election officials for a generally smooth election. "Preparation was key to preventing problems at polling places," Kennedy said. "Our 'Back to Basics' initiative helped ensure election officials were ready for the large turnout and voters had ready access to information about their registration status and polling place location."
Voter turnout is calculated based on the highest number of votes cast for one office as a percentage of the estimated voting-age population, as determined by the state Department of Administration's Demographic Services Center. Other statistics, such as the number of absentee ballots cast and Election Day Registrants will not be available until later in December because municipal clerks are still reporting this information to the G.A.B.

Wrinkling the Bedsheets[edit]
Seth is halfway up the Military Career track, and he's hears his biological clock ticking. The family has a small savings, and another promotion for him is around the corner. He and Holly jointly decide: it's time.
There are two ways to get a new bundle of joy. If you're not keen on having your own, or you have two homosexual Sims, you'll need to go to the phone and select the Services option, followed by Adoption Service. A social worker will arrive shortly, and allow you to choose the age and gender of your target. If a Sim kid has been removed from a household, there's a chance you'll get him or her if the age and gender sync up. Either way, after you make a selection, you'll soon have a new family member.
Seth and Holly decide to do things the natural way. Because they both have the Family-Oriented trait, either one can use Special… > Family-Oriented… > Try For Baby to get things going. Otherwise, both Sims will have to use the Relax command on the bed, followed by Try For Baby. Using the Woo Hoo command is… uh… a practice round for things.
Sims' moods play a factor here: if both Sims are happy, the chance for having a baby is extremely high. If one, or especially both, are in bad moods, they may Woo Hoo without a baby, or the action may be rejected outright without even trying. Seth and Holly want to be absolutely sure they have a baby, and their days off sync up. After a morning of a good breakfast, a couple showers, trips to the bathroom, and some dancing…
If it works—that is, if pregnancy does happen—you'll usually get a single melodic line of "Rock a Bye Baby" as the Sims come out from under the sheets. It doesn't always happen, and there are more sure signs later. I hear it this time, though we still don't get visual confirmation until the next day…
All right, morning sickness! Woot!!!
…Er, sorry, didn't mean to sound heartless there. This might be nine months of pure hell and discomfort for Holly, but at the end of the journey, she and Seth will have a beauty baby girl or boy.
Well, not quite nine months, luckily. Gestation for Sims is only three in-game days, starting from the morning after conception. Or more simply, the baby will be born three days after the first sign of morning sickness.
During the pregnancy, Holly will suffer dramatic penalties to her Energy and Hunger needs, and will continue to have nausea throughout the days and nights. If at all possible, someone else (preferably the good-for-nothing jerkface husband who made her like this, of course) should do the majority of the work around the house, while Holly rests as much as possible. Like real-life, limited exercise is okay, but no one expects Holly to jog laps around the entire city or to do 400 reps on the weight bench.
Meanwhile, while pregnant, Holly will get time off work. Again, she uses this time to stay as rested and in as high a mood as possible. Nothing extremely bad will happen if this advice is ignored (The Sims 3 doesn't simulate some of the real-life tragedies that can occur of the woman doesn't take proper care of herself), but due to the speed of Need decay in the woman, she'll need and deserve constant attention to keep her happy.
Eventually, it will be time for the baby to arrive. Holly and Seth drop what they're doing and head over to the hospital ASAP, where Holly is in labor for roughly 2 to 3 game hours. Eventually, the baby (or babies!) will come, and you'll get to name him or her.
A New Life[edit]
Welcome to Sunset Valley, Troy Schultz. May you lead a fortunate life!
Troy is born with one personality trait at random, though it is not based on any that the parents have. In this case, Troy is born with being Artistic. You as the player get to choose a second trait as well, anything you wish, though you cannot cancel the original personality choice. In other words, I can't pick the Can't Stand Art trait, as Troy's Artistic trait prevents me from doing so. I declare him a Genius!
Once back home, Seth and Holly buy a crib and place it in the bedroom. After that, it's pretty simple for them to keep track of the baby's needs, now that you as the player can actually look at them for the first time in the series. Babies don't have to worry about a Fun meter, but you'll have to make sure the baby's diaper gets changed (filling the Hygiene Need), and given a bottle to avoid hunger.
During the first day, Seth decides to skip out on work to help with Troy. When you no-call no-show to your job, your performance takes a hit and you don't get your paycheck, but you're not immediately fired. If you make it a habit, though, you're finished… One occasional day now and then won't kill you, especially when something important (like caring for Troy) is in the balance.
Troy naturally will wake up and cry whenever any of his moods hit critical, and his cry will wake up Holly or Seth even from a dead sleep. If the crying is ignored for too long of a period, Social Services may come along and take the baby (and any other children in the lot) away, removing them from the neighborhood pseudo-permanently. Seth and Holly also need to stay near the baby at all times, or at least have a babysitter on the premises if they leave. They can go a short distance away, such as across the street, but no farther without being required to call up a babysitter.
