LOUISVILLE, Ky. – In an oft postponed and delayed baseball game, it was Lake Erie's delayed-but-effective offense that came through just in time to post a 4-1 victory at Bellarmine (Ky.) on Thursday.
After a day-and-a-half of shuffling game dates, start times and game sites for the next four days, the Storm continued the program's best start to a season with a come-from-behind effort in a pitcher's duel that saw no less than 16 scoreless half innings. The Lake Erie (4-1) offense was hamstrung and hindered through much of the contest played on a 40-degree night in Louisville, Ky. But the Green & White worked their way to four runs in the eighth inning, lifting LEC to a win on a night when it's pitching and defense was nearly flawless.
Sophomore right-hander Connor Fuller started for Lake Erie and was opposed by Bellarmine sophomore left-hander Austin Warner.
Warner and the Knights (0-3) were lifted to a 1-0 lead when a pair of two-out singles plated Jes Staples who had singled earlier in the inning. Fuller and Warner then began trading zeroes on the scorecard. At one point Fuller – making his first career start – retired five Knights in a row. He then got into trouble in the home half of the fourth when Bellarmine worked two walks to go with a single. But Fuller got a clutch strike out of No. 9 hitter Andrew Bryant to end the threat without allowing a run.
Both teams made mound changes in the fifth. Freshman port-sider Michael Messier relieved Warner; junior lefty Heath Kelley came on for Lake Erie. They picked up where the starters left off and more scoreless innings rolled by.
Kelley got in a jam in the Bellarmine seventh, but senior reliever D.J. Stastny came on to get three key outs without allowing a run. In the ensuing half inning, the Lake Erie offense seemingly grabbed that momentum, and it led to the first crooked number of the game on the scoreboard.
Shortstop Sean Mathews got aboard with a single, and he advanced to third when Aaron Lindgren doubled down the right field line. After an intentional walk to Garrett Emling and a pitching change, the stage was set with the bases jammed, Lucas Raley at the plate and junior right-hander Ryan Dixon on to pitch for the Knights.
And Raley delivered. The freshman left fielder knocked in a pair with a single to second. Sophomore third baseman Zack DeCamp followed Raley, and he singled as well, knocking in Emling. With Raley and DeCamp aboard, catcher Dylan Yankle worked a six-pitch walk and that reloaded the bases.
Perhaps Yankle's come-from-behind-in-count walk rattled Dixon, because the veteran righty then walked in a run when he threw a strike and four straight balls to No. 8 hitter Lou Peterlin. It took another BU pitching change, but the Knights finally extricated themselves from the four-run frame.
Stasny hit a batter but otherwise deftly protected LEC's new-found 4-1 lead in the bottom of the eighth. He faced Bellarmine's three, four, five and six batters in the process. He set up junior right-hander Brandon Grunda to get a one-two-three save in the ninth.
Both teams finished with six hits in the game. BU committed one error, while Lake Erie, for a fourth straight game, played errorless baseball.
Emling, Raley and Rutger Luebke all reached base twice in the game. Walks were a key stat of comparison in the game – LEC pitchers walked just three; their BU counterparts walked six.
Connor Fuller allowed one run on four hits and three walks. He fanned five. The Storm bullpen trifecta of Kelley, Stastny and Grunda went five frames, allowing just three base runners. The combined performances of those four hurlers lowered Lake Erie's season ERA from 1.67 to 1.50.
Notes: The Storm had been 1-15 all-time against Kentucky programs prior to the 2014 season. LEC is 4-1 against Bluegrass State foes this season. … Center fielder Aaron Lindgren has hit safely in all five games this season, as has Zack DeCamp. Dating back to last season, Lindgren has a hit streak of seven games. … Lake Erie is already two-thirds of the way to its 2013 road-game win total. LEC is 4-1 on the road this season; the Storm went 6-18 on the road a year ago. … Lake Erie yielded 55 runs over its first five games in 2013. The Green & White yielded all of seven runs over its first five games this season. ... LEC has now outscored foes, 17-1, over the sixth, seventh and eighth innings this year. … Storm pitchers allowed batters to reach when leading off an inning just twice on Thursday night. For the season, LEC has held opponents to a .333 on-base percentage in such situations. Conversely, Lake Erie batters have thus far worked a .568 on-base mark when leading off innings.

I left my husband yesterday and may not see him for about 4 more months. I had such a great time visiting him in London and seeing places we have never been to before. I try to see it as we are lucky that because we are apart so often the times that we are together are even more special and great! That is hard to do most of the time. While we have done this lengthy period apart before it actually feels more difficult this time. Hopefully because we have grown closer and our relationship better, and our work will keep us busy enough not to think too much about it. I am excited though to start this new journey and to be doing what it is I love to do!!!

If you want to know why dancers are so fit and strong read this article!
I have been trying to take as many classes as I can to really get back into my training. Ballet and contemporary and working with as many different teachers so that i get the diversity and soak up everything. I want to grow even more as a dancer and some days you feel like there are so many things you need to fix that you will never get it…
Ballet technique is arbitrary and very difficult. It never becomes easy… it becomes possible.

It's like picking up trash in dresses…
My life is one big crazy mess right now… I have decided that I am going to try to just love it! I get to be all over the place, exactly how I wanted. This month I have less than 2 weeks and then I am off to Boston for a weekend of dancing! After that I am leaving to go to London to visit my hubby for about 10 days. I come back in time for one of my oldest friends weddings and then I am off for rehearsals in Myrtle beach! Sometime at the end of October I fly to Niagara Falls, Canada for showtime!!! Dancing Queen and a Christmas show! I was starting to feel a little stressed about packing and running around all over the place and living out of a suitcase, but then I realized I like being busy! and I like traveling. This is what I want, to be constantly going! And I will be performing regularly again! I honestly can't wait for that! So I am happy. Even though I am away from my husband and unsure of when we will be together again for good, I am happy with my semi chaotic life….

January 31-February 15
Directed by Danielle White
Benjamin Braddock is a confused young man. Having spent four years achieving a brilliant scholastic record, upon graduation he finds himself adrift, uncertain about his future, disconnected from his purpose, and increasingly alienated from the upper-class, suburban, "plastic" world of his parents in 1960's Southern California. Fighting panic and boredom, he is deeply conflicted but ultimately willing when Mrs. Robinson, the unhappily married, alcoholic, and dangerously charismatic wife of his father's business partner, tempts him into an affair. Benjamin's tenuous existence of lazy days and stolen nights falls apart when he falls in love — with Elaine — Mrs. Robinson's upbeat, optimistic daughter.

Our new home is moving right along . . .
Our friends are busy laying our new laminate floor, and the contractor reports good progress with the modifications we're making to our new home. Courtesy of Old NFO we received some pictures yesterday and today. (Click each one for a larger view.)
This shows the rear of our new home. The room under construction on the left, with the incomplete siding, used to be a small open porch at the corner of the house. A previous owner enclosed it very shoddily, mainly as a sheltered place for the family dogs (who peed all over it and left an unmistakable [and unwelcome] odor behind) and for smokers (ditto on the odor, although hopefully not on the pee!). Our contractor ripped out the old enclosure and chemically cleaned the porch to remove the smell; then he re-framed it, with proper siding on the exterior. We needed a new rear door to replace the one that had led onto the porch, so he removed a set of double windows from the brick wall and replaced them with a set of French doors. The windows have been 'recycled' into the newly enclosed porch, as you can see above.
This shows the interior of the former porch, now being insulated and lined with drywall in preparation for painting. It'll be my office and 'man-cave' when it's finished. It's a relatively small room (just under 100 square feet), but that should be sufficient for a desk, my reloading/gunsmithing bench, and some storage cupboards and lockers for ammo and other supplies. To insulate the floor and make it warmer in winter, I'm putting down gym-type flooring. I'm looking forward to moving in - Volume 5 of the Maxwell Saga is well under way, and I want to finish it as fast as possible. I also have the third volume of the Laredo Trilogy to write, and I'm halfway through my first fantasy novel, which I hope to finish in the next couple of months. If that proves up to scratch, there may be interesting developments concerning it. Watch this space for details!
This shows our new laminate floor in the master bedroom, along with boxes of flooring waiting to be installed in other rooms. (You can see how the bare concrete floor looked in this post by Old NFO.) Lawdog, NFO and another friend have clearly been hard at work on our behalf. Miss D. and I will be going shopping tomorrow for suitable bottles of "Thank you!", which we'll take down with us.
Miss D.'s been hard at work today, packing the contents of our kitchen into boxes. I'll get stuck into our library tomorrow and over the weekend, then tackle our shared office next week. God willing, we'll be ready in time for the truck and our loading help on Thursday . . . then it's hi-ho for Texas!

If possible plan and build some easy access concepts now. We have slowly changed over to things like levers on the doors instead of knobs, and when we added the cover to the back door, we went with a half height step instead of a full height. It costs less time and money to build it now instead of ripping something out later.
The house looks very nice and our experience with laminate is that it wears very well. Although it does have some strange tractor beam ability to make any dropped pointy object orient itself so it hits the floor point first.

January 24th, 2013 was the last time I published a non-Pod-Pointer blog here. That's a long time and for those who care to hear from me (or other Dolphins) in this form (if such a person exists) – apologies. Of course, we've produced a consistent stream of Pod Pointers for many years now – something I'm proud of. While those are valuable in their own right, I think it is important to more extensively share our thoughts and knowledge. There is a lot of opportunity here.
Smart Dolphins exists primarily to improve lives through business excellence and leveraging the use of technology. We want our customers to be ninja-like with their technology to improve their business and to sleep better at night. There is also a big opportunity for us to help the broader business community by creating and curating great technology and business education.
This fall we are going to share a lot more valuable material to help the Vancouver Island business community "Get Smarter". Starting in November, we will begin a new video series we're calling "Dolphin Ditties". These are short (a few minutes) videos that cover useful technology and business topics. Of course, we'll continue to produce Pod Pointers every other week. We'll also be publishing more blogs and will get much more active in social media. And…some other stuff…
We'd love to hear your feedback on our "Get Smarter" initiatives.

As a European, I can only actually comment on US points as they appear in debate.

Man Charged in $10 Million NASCAR Merchandise Scam Arraigned on Charges of Bilking Dozens of Victims
Topics: NASCAR
FBI Los Angeles Office
December 14, 2009
U.S. Attorney's Office, Central District of California
A man who allegedly took at least $10 million from victims—including friends and family members—who thought they were financing a wholesale business that distributed NASCAR merchandise pleaded not guilty this morning to federal fraud charges and late today was ordered held without bond.
Eliott Jay Dresher, 63, of Chatsworth, was arraigned this morning in United States District Court in Los Angeles after being indicted December 4 by a federal grand jury. The indictment alleges four counts of mail fraud and one count of wire fraud. The indictment additionally seeks the forfeiture of ill-gotten gains that Dresher allegedly received as a result of a scheme that he ran for about 10 years.
According to the indictment, Dresher solicited money from investors with promises that their money would be used to finance a business in which Dresher purchased NASCAR apparel and sold the merchandise to "big box" stores such as Costco. As part of his scheme, Dresher guaranteed substantial monthly returns, typically between 20 percent and 25 percent every six months. However, the indictment alleges, Dresher did not really operate such a business and all of the funds paid to investors were "Ponzi" payments that came from the victims' principal investments.
Dresher's scheme collapsed last year when he was unable to make payments to investors. At this point, according to the indictment, Dresher lulled his victims by falsely telling them that he had more than $70 million in various bank accounts, but he was having difficulty accessing the funds, so he had hired two attorneys to get the investors' money back from one of the banks.
The indictment alleges that Dresher caused approximately 50 victims to invest at least $10 million with him, most of which was ultimately lost.
Dresher was initially charged in a criminal complaint filed in federal court on October 16. Federal authorities took custody of Dresher on November 19, and after appearing in federal court in Las Vegas, Nevada, he was returned to Los Angeles, where a United States
Magistrate Judge ordered him held without bond. Following a hearing late this afternoon, another Magistrate Judge determined that Dresher was a flight risk and ordered him detained pending trial.
At this morning's arraignment, Dresher's case was assigned to United States District Judge Philip S. Gutierrez, who scheduled a trial for January 26.
An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in court.
The case against Dresher was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Postal Inspection Service.

When a politician says, "Lend me your ear," on radio or TV,
what he's going to say is "There's no other way, but to be bold
and throw the old way away, so "Listen to my lies,
disguised as promises I'll make to you, but when you sleep
I'll never keep, because I know you're a fool and will believe
everything I promise on radio or TV."
We should know not to believe anything a politician says, or promises
he makes that are repeated a thousand times on radio and TV to
make us believe what he conceives as just, must be true.
If we resist, the lies will be repeated a thousand times to saturate
our brains, and with a heavy hand force his lies to become truth in
our minds, even though we know the man lacks what it takes to look
us in the eye and speak the truth, because it would exposes his
words as lies. He will never say any that are true until the day
he dies and thinks he'll go up in the sky, but to his surprise
he goes to Hell, and once there, tells the Devil he wants to take a
vote to see if he should dwell here in hell instead of up above.
But the Devil says, "You're here to stay, and I never lie, because
I don't let any of you damned souls take a vote. I force
people like you to say and do anything I want and never
lie, like a man running for a spot where he can enrich himself
his mistress and family members too, all the while thinking it's okay
to let lies flow like free wine given for a vote. Then he'll lie, lie, lie,
to make all believe what he said is right, and as patriots everyone needs
to follow his advice to refuse refuge to those unfortunate enough to be
born where politicians have no need to lie and can do what they want
without a care about the world out there.
If honesty became a quality, a man would need to be elected here, there'd be no
need to vote, because there's not one politician worthy to hold any post. So as a
guest on radio or TV, to get what they want or need a politician will have to lie,
and hope he doesn't get sent to Hell where he'll never get the vote.

Dyneema Slings Transport Turbines
Use of Dyneema ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber is helping to ensure that a major construction project to bring clean energy to millions of people in the U.K. moves ahead as efficiently and safely as possible. The world's largest offshore wind farm is under construction in the North Sea, 23 km off the coast of England. Scheduled for completion in 2012, the Greater Gabbard wind farm's 140 turbines will generate 500 megawatts of electricity for the people of London.
The turbines are mounted on top of 65-meter, 650-tonne steel "mono piles" that are transported by barge from the Verbrugge Zeeland Terminal in Vlissingen, Netherlands to the construction site. For lifting the long and heavy mono piles, the Dutch terminal operating company's safety department wanted a system with better ergnomics than steel-wire and chain lifting slings normally used. The new slings would need to be just as strong, or even stronger, but lighter and so easier to handle. In addition, previous safety concerns over steel wire rope slings, such as the tendency for the steel wire strands to snap over time and create "fishhooks," prompted the search for a safer solution.
The answer, Ultralift round slings with Dyneema, a DSM Dyneema product, made by Technotex in Coevorden, Netherlands, have quickly won the full approval of the operator. "Initial skepticism among our employees has turned into admiration," says Mattheo Rozemond, responsible for handling the Greater Gabbard mono piles at Verbrugge Zeeland Terminal. "The new slings help our team optimize safety and provide damage-free cargo handling."
Ultralift slings are just as strong as slings made with steel wire, but have just one seventh of their weight. One result of this is that half as many people are needed to operate the slings, with much less auxiliary equipment. The operatives have a healthier environment, and are less plagued by shoulder, back, hand and other injuries associated with the older, heavier slings.
Beyond safety, the Ultralift slings are also contributing to better handling of the expensive mono piles. Because the slings are soft, they avoid damage to the mono piles during the lifting operations. As a result, the cost associated with corrective maintenance is virtually eliminated.

Home refurbishment
Properties, like people, age over time
Propping up
Houses need propping up from time to time. Home repair and refurbishment of aging parts are often neglected. We advise homeowners to conduct 5-year home repair assessments to avoid unforeseen costly disasters.
Tudor Design and Build offer a diagnosis and solution service:
• thorough inspection throughout the house for areas of risk or urgency
• written home-owner report prioritising the most at-risk issues, if any
• fully costed schedule of repair or replacement
• making good all the areas as agreed with our clients
If you're considering selling, it's wise to have a full house assessment, and the documentation of proof of work done. We advise our clients on what is essential for an easy house sale.
Minor changes, major benefits
Sometimes an enlarged window, a new door access or a replacement staircase makes all the difference to a household's footfall or view of their garden.
Tudor Design and Build will assess the floor plan and design a layout that makes more sense for today's living, such as combining the dining room with kitchen, and finding space for a study area or opening up the house to outdoor entertaining with sliding doors and a patio.
Topping up
Floors sag, paint peels, walls crack, wood splits, tiles slip. We check the state of the floors, walls, electrical and plumbing fittings, windows and their insulation, and advise you on what the house's genuine needs are.
Property, possessions, pets
We come when we say we'll be there, and with the minimum of fuss, get down to the jobs efficiently. All our teams take huge care with our clients' property, possessions and also pets.
What we did
The Waterside project was a complete refurbishment of the interior. We remodelled the living room that opened expansively onto the balcony. Large sliding doors let in huge tracts of light and panoramic vistas of the gardens and the world outside. Contemporary light fittings and the clean lines of the floorboards contained the simplistically elegant lounge and the small, stylish dining area.
The kitchen-diner needed to be compact, light and inviting. This we achieved with highly reflective king-size cabinets concealing appliances and crockery and a work surface with elevated glass table shelf and contemporary high-backed diner stools that makes Sunday breakfast an enjoyable experience.
In the bedroom, we continued the wooden floor-line and repainted and papered the room to increase its visual space. We designed a wet-room in the en suite, keeping it contemporary with minimalism.
In the bathroom, we installed a spa bath and mirror TV for fun and wide slatted shutters for privacy.

England Women will take on fierce rivals France and world champions New Zealand over four international tests this autumn, with Twickenham Stadium hosting the series� finale on December 1st.
England will play old enemies France on November 3rd in the series opener at Esher RFC in a one off test match. The two sides met three times last year with France taking two of the three victories. But England triumphed in the final game, in the Six Nations, taking a crucial 15-3 victory at the Stade Charlety in Paris which helped the side seal a record-breaking championship win.
Four-times world cup winners New Zealand, meanwhile, return to English soil in November to take on England over three matches.
England and the Black Ferns will go head-to-head on November 23rd at Esher RFC followed by a mid-week test on November 27th at Aldershot�s Army Rugby Stadium.
The final game of the series will follow the men�s QBE International between England and New Zealand at Twickenham Stadium on December 1st. The game will be shown live on Sky Sports 1 HD and there will be free entry to the match following the final whistle of the men�s game.
England last played New Zealand 11 months ago and bounced back from their 2010 world cup heartache to defeat the Black Ferns twice. The two sides then drew the final clash. It was a historic series for England as they became the first side ever to nil the world champions and inflict two consecutive defeats on them.
England Head Coach Gary Street said: �We are really looking forward to this autumn with four tough matches in a relatively short period of time. France are getting stronger all the time, with the incentive of the Rugby World Cup at home in 2014, and this will also be a great opportunity to give some of our younger players a chance to make a statement before the New Zealand tests.
�New Zealand, meanwhile, will certainly be smarting after last year�s results and it�s really important that we improve on our performances from last autumn as well. We are all relishing the challenge, and players and staff alike are already excited about the next few months and setting the foundations for the next couple of years through to the World Cup.�
But not only do England have a busy XVs programme this autumn, the England Sevens team will also compete in international tournaments in Spain, France and Dubai ahead of 2013 as momentum builds towards the Rugby World Cup Sevens next year. Street certainly acknowledges that England will be stretched to balance all of England�s international commitments this autumn.
He added: �Juggling the XVs and the Sevens international programmes over the next few months, especially with the IRB Series in Dubai clashing with our final game against New Zealand at Twickenham, will certainly be a challenge. However, we are really confident that the work we have done over the last couple of years has really strengthened our player pool as our strength in depth will be vital to manage four international tests and three Sevens tournaments over two months.�
Tickets for England�s Autumn International Series will be available through www.ticketmaster.co.uk on Tuesday, September 18th, at 10am, priced at �10 for adults and �5 for Under 16s. This excludes the England v New Zealand game at Twickenham on December 1st as there is free entry to the stadium.
England Women Autumn International Series:
Nov 3, 2012 - England v France - Esher RFC - KO 6pm
Nov 23, 2012 - England v New Zealand - Esher RFC - KO 730pm
Nov 27, 2012 - England v New Zealand - Aldershot Army Rugby Stadium - KO 730pm
Dec 1, 2012 - England v New Zealand - Twickenham Stadium - KO 5pm (Live on Sky Sports 1HD)

I was born in South Carolina with a keen interest in hunting and fishing. For this reason, it was only natural for me to end up in the marine and boating industries. I graduated from the Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina, where I enjoyed being a member of the sailing team. The sailing team at that time ranked third in the nation, and I absorbed much knowledge and experience by being a part of it.
The competitive spirit that enhanced my sailing career carried through with my dedication to developing two family businesses in South Carolina, a 10-acre automobile dealership and a beach and golf resort located in Myrtle Beach. In the mid 1980s, I decided to pursue a career in the yacht brokerage industry in Myrtle Beach. As it would happen, most of my clients wanted to go to Florida to look at boats, which led to my position at Atlantic Yacht & Ship, Inc.
As it turned out, I ended up with a group of great partners and have recently sold a 138′ Sovereign motor yacht, a 130′ Westport Trideck, and a 132′ Oceanfast. It has been a pleasure to welcome my sons Trevor Carroll and Christopher Carroll to Atlantic Yacht and Ship as brokers. They have proved a great support staff so that the needs and questions of our clients are addressed promptly.
With 25 years in the business and working as a team, we can all help you get the most out of your vessel. We assist in the sale of many For Sale By Owner boats and can get yacht financing for prospective buyers. Luxury yachts from 70-200 feet are my specialty.

As part of ongoing inspection and registration process towards achieving NAFDAC registration for the EKSU Natural Water Company, officials of NAFDAC have visited the University for the advance inspection leading to certification and legal registration of EKSU Natural Water Company fit for consumption.
Leading the Team is the Assistant Chief Inspection Officer, Yemisi Andoakaa who informed the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Samuel Oye Bandele that NAFDAC is ready to offer support for the EKSU Water Project adding that standard must be adhered to in order to ensure perfection.
Mrs. Yemis Andoakaa insisted that NAFDAC does not compromise standard because the health of the people is priority, she however commended the University for investing rightly and for purchasing the right equipment.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Samuel Oye Bandele explained that the University set out to provide the best table water in the city which will be patronized due to its purity and safety.
Prof. Bandele encouraged the Team to inspect the facilities and give an unbiased report.
The Team thereafter inspected the Water Company, asking critical questions from the production manager and also offering suggestions.

This year, Keke Palmer got acquainted with the small screen, appearing in FOX's horror-comedy "Scream Queens" alongside Emma Roberts. (The show just won the People's Choice Award for Favorite New Comedy, so obviously they're doing something right. The people like it.) However Keke hasn't forgotten her roots as a singer, and she returns to the London On Da Track-produced ballad "I Don't Belong to You" for a remix this morning, tapping Ty Dolla $ign and DeJ Loaf. The record was initially released in October, but Keke's stock has definitely risen since then, so hopefully this remix will hit a few more ears.
If you missed it, we recently did a Behind the Beat profile on London On Da Track.
Quotable Lyrics
I don't I don't know why
I put you in this situation|
Knowing you will fall in love with me
But I won't be there to catch you
If it ain't about the sex then I prolly neglect you
Don't take it personal I'm just tryna protect you
- DeJ Loaf

The Center for Integrated Access Networks (CIAN) here at the University of Arizona had us enrolled in many wonderful opportunities to further our education including workshops and a preparation course for the GRE during this first IOU-NA program. All of which I am finding extremely useful because they are incentives to further our education but not obligations to do so. Though these activities at first can seem overwhelming they help to ensure I stay busy with research and ahead of the curve in my academic work. Striving for excellence begins with the will to motivate the self but does not end there. The CIAN coordinators do not make it mandatory, nor enforce the need for graduate school although personally it is beneficial for me to complete the GRE right now taking one more step towards graduate school.
In many ways I am newly exposed to the world of academics and have found it beneficial so far to be a part of this REU for the summer with regards to opening and broadening my horizons whilst maintaining my joy for physics. I have learned much about professional relationships and what I can do to be an integral part in a symbiotic manner since I am working under the supervision of a principal investigator and graduate student. The College of Optical Sciences and CIAN's program here at UA have been supportive with my decision to be involved in research and help bring opportunities to my attention in everything, from when they have left over boxes of pizza or internships that are within the scope of my major.
On the business of graduate school it is interesting that rather than having to pay for a PhD program, fellowships, and other acquisitions of money are actually available. If we have all the qualifications needed to be a suitable candidate for grad school, which is what I've learned from professional educators: Michael Flynn and Don Asher, then grad school may be completely covered. In order to be a prime candidate for graduate school it is the general rule that we in many ways show academic prowess. By investing my time here at the University of Arizona's College of Optical Sciences I am able to learn the technical skills needed in graduate school to be a functioning researcher. It is not to say that I won't fall, or fall hard, but like that of a German (Don Asher reference) I will get back up more times than I fall; I'd just rather persist is all. Working with persistent researchers and coordinators here has allowed me to see that the horizons are as broad as I wish to make them and that by taking the appropriate steps will allow me to eat steak and lobster in graduate school, though sometimes I'd prefer top ramen.
Robert Castellanos is to be a new transfer student pursuing a B.S. degree at Northern Arizona University in the fall of 2014. He is transferring from Haskell Indian Nations University, a tribal school in Lawrence, KS; there he earned his A.S. degree in Natural Science. He plans to study Physics and Astronomy in Flagstaff, AZ at NAU. Meanwhile, Robert is currently an intern for CIAN in the Integrated Optics for Undergraduates for Native Americans (IOU-NA) program at the University of Arizona where he is researching thin-film optics. Hobbies include video games and reading. Robert Castellanos is a member of the Colorado River Indian Tribes whose tribe is Mohave.

On the Today show this morning, Time magazine announced its choice for 2012 Person of the Year: President Barack Obama. We simply could not agree more with their selection.
Director of photography Kira Pollack and deputy photo editor Paul Moakley asked Nadav Kander to shoot the portraits that accompany the story, which you can read here. Pollack wrote about the cover shoot at Time's Lightbox blog. Here's an excerpt:
"Last week, President Barack Obama, TIME's Person of the Year for 2012, granted us a rare sitting with the legendary photographer Nadav Kander. We chose Kander because of his remarkable ability to capture the mood of a moment. He has photographed some of the most iconic people of our time — from Sir Paul McCartney and Brad Pitt to Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's first democratically-elected president, who is also featured in this issue. The two Obama portraits appearing in the issue are the first formal portraits of the President since his re-election." (Read the full blog post here: "Behind the Obama Cover: Person of the Year 2012.")

Muay Thai promoter Patrick Talbot puts together an outstanding Nemesis 11 fight fight on Saturday 21st May at Kingsway Stadium in Perth, WA.
Patrick Talbot is a world-level event maker from Perth, Western Australia. He has held his first gathering over five years ago. To date, ten editions of Nemesis Fight Shows entertained Western Australia's fans. The last always leave the venue with an anticipation of the following knockout gala.
The family man Talbot lives the life of an all-round successful businessman. Indeed, his every day job is far from combat sports, however long ties keep him involved in the beautiful Martial Arts.
"I'm a mechanical engineer. I manage our family engineering company Tariseng which services Australia's Mining & Earth-moving industry," says Nemesis Fight Shows promoter Talbot.
"I have been in combat sports since I was a kid. Started off with Taekwondo, then boxing and then switched onto Muay Thai."
Outstanding Nemesis Fight Shows made-in collaboration of Patrick Talbot and Bill Seth. The last is recognized as WA superior Muay Thai referee.
"I met Bill through Muay Thai, and soon learnt I'm better off promoting than competing," says Talbot smiling.
"Our first partnered event was back in 2012."
Over the years Nemesis events produce a knockout gathering that sees real Muay Thai in action. Patrick Talbot reflects on some of the matches and memorable happenings.
"We've had epic battles in the ring," he says.
"Rob Powdrill has punished a lot of opponents. Mitch Seth always puts on a show,"
"There have been many top clashes such as Gareth Smith vs Sing Siri, Jak '300' vs Beniah Douma, Yolanda Schmidt vs Emma Graham."
"Plus some eccentric moments of marriage proposals by fighters after their fights."
During the last five years Nemesis Fight Shows have been lifting the level of Western Australian Muay Thai internationally. Indeed, each following installment brings an improved concept of origin. The latest edition saw the WKN intercontinental championship: Seth (Australia) v Petroulias (Greece).
"Each show I try and outdo the last," says Talbot.
"This time I have really shot myself in the foot. I have no idea how I'm going to top this one."
"The main card is full of fights worthy main events. I feel a little greedy hogging all the big fights for one show!"
"Any major fighter available I could match – I locked in."
"Normally there are a few drop outs due to injury, but touch wood, there will be no room for a break this show,"
"The cards is completely stacked!"
"I aim to bring the best to Perth and any bigger names we can secure and match the better,"
"I know Daniel Dawson is eager to break back on to the Muay Thai scene. Would love to have him on the show one day."
"The WKN [World Kickboxing Network] is a great asset to Nemesis Fight Shows,"
"It is a professional sanctioning body that is recognized worldwide."
"It provides us with international exposure, the best looking belts and great assistance with real fighters to take on our Australian best."

Nemesis 11 Perth fight show proclaims to be a celebrity gathering. Alongside with the fight card that sees eminent Toby The Weapon Smith, the list of personalities presenting on the night includes Muay Thai legends Nathan Carnage Corbett, John Wayne Parr and Daniel The Rock Dawson. Moreover, Australian UFC fighter Jake Matthews jets to Perth from Melbourne as a special guest.
"Jake Matthews is a great mate of mine who is coming over to support our show," Talbot says.
"He is a massive fan of Muay Thai and is always eager to see the best fights in the country."
"I have not told him as yet but he may be coaching my sons football team the following morning,"
"The game starts at eight in the morning, and I don't think I will be capable of speech," Talbot concludes with a smile.

The volcanic hazards of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico 15 July 2009Posted by admin in Mexico, natural hazards, San Martín, volcanology.
Tags: Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, natural hazards, San Martín, volcanology
The Los Tuxtlas region consists of an isolated range of volcanic mountains in southern Mexico, in the central southern area of the coastal state of Veracruz. The isolation of this elevated region has given it a virtual island ecosystem, enabling flora and fauna to flourish there in the most northerly tropical rainforest environment on the American mainland. In 1998 a nature reserve was established there by the Mexican Government, the Reserva de la Biósfera Los Tuxtlas.
So, it's a very interesting part of the world. Yet while the flora and fauna of Los Tuxtlas have been extensively studied, the geology of the region has been somewhat neglected: which is unfortunate, not only because of the intrinsic geological interest of this anomalous volcanic belt, but because it is region of active volcanism. Volcán de San Martín, the dominant volcanic edifice of the Tuxtla volcanic field, last erupted in 1793 (VEI=4) and 1794 (VEI=2), if more recent uncertain reports of activity are disregarded.
However, a detailed study of volcanic activity and potential hazards in Los Tuxtlas is now under way, reports the Veracruz newspaper El Golfo (drawing upon a report in the Mexican university periodical UniVerso). A team of experts from the Universidad Veracruzana are working to compile a detailed hazard map of Los Tuxtlas which will help local authorities plan for better civil protection:
In addition to studying past eruptions and estimating future ones … [the team] will assess the hazards faced by local communities through mud and debris flows generated by the rains and storms that constantly sweep the region with its abundant vegetation and proximity to the sea.
In communities of Pajapan municipality important effects have already occurred, including the loss of human life because of debris flows caused by the heavy rains, comments Sergio Rodriguez Elizarrarás, an expert in geology and volcanology from the Centro de Ciencias de la Tierra (CCT). 'What we want is that these tragedies are not repeated'.
The project involves mineralogical and soil studies throughout the Tuxtla volcanic complex, and detailed study of the little-known eruptive history of San Martín volcano. Funding for the project, to the tune of more than 4 million pesos (around $300,000 or €200,000), is being provided by the Mexican Government's Fondo Nacional de Prevención de Desastres Naturales (Fopreden).

I believe the Tongass in Alaska is the northern most rainforest in the Americas. This is of course not a tropical rainforest, for that we might take the view that the caribean islands (Cuba, Hispaniola, or Peurto Rico) host the most northern tropical rainforests on the continent since they are part of the north american plate. Either way it is nice to see geologic study of this unique area.

Storm damage at Mount Rainier is 'unbelievable'
Volunteers, funding needed to rebuild
When U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks visited Mount Rainier National Park in late November, he was stunned by the worst weather-related damage in the park's nearly 108-year-old history.
"It was unbelievable," Dicks said Friday. "Sunshine Point campground was completely devastated; it is gone. Roads were knocked out. Rivers had jumped out of their channels. ... It was bad."
Dicks, a Bremerton Democrat, doesn't doubt the $36 million park officials quote to replace roads, bridges, campgrounds and other facilities wiped out by 18 inches of rain that fell between Nov. 6 and 7.
Park officials acknowledge that before the December windstorms, the park already was in need, and that flood damage estimates could go even higher. However, they cannot make a full assessment until after the snow melts.
Meanwhile, Dicks, who has been a member of the House Appropriations Committee for 30 years, may be in a prime position to help Mount Rainier and other storm-damaged parks statewide. He is expected next week to be named chairman of the subcommittee on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies.
Anticipating the appointment, Dicks said he is working on ways to get emergency funding for Mount Rainier National Park. He acknowledged that storm damage to Olympic National Park, the North Cascades and other U.S. parks also must be addressed.
"But Mount Rainier is the most severely damaged of them all," Dicks said. He said the Federal Highway Administration has an emergency fund that can fund road repairs, but more will be needed.
"We have to get people access to inside the park and up to Paradise," said Dicks, noting that the federal government already invested about $30 million in earthquake retrofitting and restoration for the historic Paradise Inn and a new visitors center.
Some help is already on the way, said Kevin Bacher, a Mount Rainier National Park spokesman. The park received about $1,300 in public donations. Several organizations also have pledged flood relief, Bacher said, and are encouraging donations to Washington's National Park Fund.
In addition to wiping out a road along Carbon River at the park's northwestern corner, flood damage closed the Nisqually Entrance gate in the southwestern part of the park for one of the few times in park history.
The closure displaced some workers and had an economic impact beyond the park.
While historic Longmire Inn was recently reopened, no vehicles can access the park; visitors with reservations are shuttled into the lodge.
At the park's gateway town of Ashford, businesses rely on a steady stream of visitors during winter, but now they must offset the park closure with local activities. Park rangers give scheduled tours of the damage, and local lodges and restaurants are holding events New Year's weekend and beyond.
Bacher said that while crews have done significant repair work since the day after the flood, it is clear that more funding and extensive labor -- including volunteer help -- are needed.
The flooding Nisqually River took out the Sunshine Point Campground, a restroom and a picnic shelter, and carved a 200-yard gap in the park's main road, Bacher said. A dike protecting the picturesque area failed, he said, and the campground is now a riverbed and is impossible to replace.
"It was a real sinking feeling on the part of everyone who saw it," Bacher said.
Kautz Creek is now meandering into a wilderness area, but park officials likely will rebuild the road around the new channel -- rather than restoring the old road.
"The idea of taking a bulldozer into wilderness to push rock around to undo something that happened naturally is completely contradictory of the intent of the Wilderness Act," Bacher said.
Lauren Braden, a spokeswoman for the Washington Trails Association, said the group intends to help.
"Mount Rainier is going to be the main focus of our trail maintenance work this summer because of the storm damage," she said.
"There are a lot of jobs volunteers can handle."

Welcome to the first ever edition of Christian miscarried kids! Have you ever wondered what happens when a zealot won't abort and a fetus wants a better life? With a little bit of gumption and a whole lotta courage, that fetus takes charge of their destiny and by golly why shouldn't they? After all, isn't that what life is all about!
I've traveled all over the great US of A in search of miscarried kids, in every nook and cranny of our beloved country. Happy Camp, California, Cummaquid, Massachusetts, Fertile, Minnesota, Lesbia, New Mexico, and countless other stops along the way brimming with folks who have good old fashioned American values.
Before I took this road trip, I assumed breaking bread with a miscarried kid would be easy. I quickly learned, like every other kid, these miscarried kids want to move forward, not backwards. Recalling the memories of being inside an oppressive womb with little promise of a future wasn't an easy thing to discuss. But, ask them about the choice they made and their future, and wow, do they light up like the 4th of July.
In this first installment, we caught up with a most beguiling miscarried kid from Burning Bush, Georgia, at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. After a few cups of coffee and a plate of glazed doughnut holes, we were fast friends. Here's an excerpt of our conversation.
Katie: Thanks so much for meeting me today, miscarried kid.
Miscarried Kid: Oh, it's cool.
Katie: How's life treating you?
Miscarried Kid: Pretty good now.
Miscarried Kid: You want to know why, right? I mean, that is why you're here, isn't it?
Katie: I wasn't going to lie to Miscarried Kid and insult MK's intelligence, so I said, It is.
Miscarried Kid: My previous almost z-ma dragged me to church for show and tell every Sunday and spent numerous hours detailing what she had in store for me. Had she not done that, I probably wouldn't be a miscarried kid today. I guess in a way she did me a favor.
I kept hearing about this army I had already been inducted into and this arrow I was destined to become and quite honestly, it was all way too much. I felt like I was living in a pressure cooker. I got so depressed, I was popping 10 mg's of Xanex every few hours. I was trying to communicate my frustration with my previous z-ma by giving her chronic heartburn, but she just didn't want to hear it. She didn't care about me, my needs, my hopes, my dreams, none of it. All she cared about was this grand plan she had for me.
I knew I had to take matters into my own hands, so I did. One afternoon during a post church luncheon, I put on my i-pod, and jammed to, Gonna Fly Now, the theme song to Rocky and tear assed outta that fuckin' womb. I was unstoppable, dude, a refugee on the run! And, Katie, I never looked back.
It's inspired, isn't it? It brought a tear to my eye and joy to my heart. Munching on that doughnut with an ear to ear grin, Miscarried Kid was radiant, free from the burden of a hopeless future.
The next time you run into a Christian miscarried kid, introduce yourself, and take a minute to say, hi. How are you? Are you having a good day? You won't regret it!
Update: Miscarried Kid moved into the womb of a Jewish Puerto Rican Lesbian. She and her wife, an Italian Catholic, live in Anchorage, Alaska, and MK is over the moon.

The U.S. Army announced it is seeking the death penalty against the U.S. solider accused of murdering Afghan civilians.
FOX News Radio's Jessica Rosenthal reports:
Staff Sergeant Robert Bales is accused of murdering 16 civilians in two Afghan villages. Among the dead were nine children.
At a hearing last month prosecutors asked for a death penalty court martial after hearing testimony from Army officials, as well as Bales' fellow service members.
They said he left the base in southern Afghanistan on March 11th, returned covered in blood, said he thought he was doing the right thing, then left again. Many said he had been drinking that night and the Army says he tested positive for steroids just three days after the shootings.

Dutch teen pregnancy rate among lowest in the world
The number of Dutch teenage mothers is unprecedentedly low according figures released by Statistics Netherlands.
Last year, 2.2 thousand girls under the age of 20 gave birth, i.e. less than 1.5 percent of all births registered in the Netherlands. The number of teenage births has never been this low. Teenage births still frequently occur among Antillean and Surinamese girls.
Since 2011, fewer than 5 per thousand 15 to 19-year-old girls give birth. With 4.5 thousand, last year's teenage birth rate was the lowest ever recorded by Statistics Netherlands. Around 1970, the teenage birth rate was still nearly five times as high.
One of the lowest birth rates in the world
The birth rate among teenagers in the Netherlands is one of the lowest in the world. In Europe, only Switzerland and Denmark have lower rates. The low rate is predominantly due to pregnancy prevention. Abortion rates in Switzerland and the Netherlands are relatively low. In Denmark, abortions among teenage girls are much more frequent. The highest birth rates are found in Bulgaria and Romania and the United Kingdom.

For this method, raw honey must be used. Raw honey has natural anti-bacterial properties and contains enzymes and probiotics that are good for skin. This method can be especially good for acne-prone skin as it doesn't stop moisture from the skin but does reduce oils and bacteria. (Acne is usually in internal problem though, so it is important to look at diet too!)
Honey is gentler than soaps, which strip the skin of beneficial oils, and it gently nourishes skin. I know a local vet who has even used raw honey to speed skin healing on animals as it helps reduce bacteria and speed healing while protecting the skin from outside disturbances. This idea appears to have some scientific backing, as there are now medical grade ointments (like this one) that use honey for wound and burn healing in humans.

Bunkers down under
A FEW months ago I visited New Zealand and did all the usual things there – hiked glorious mountains, frolicked on glaciers, marvelled at the sheep (like ours, but with flattened "baaas") and thrilled at NZ television (highlight: a Highway Patrol repeat with a biker, a chainsaw and a lot of bleeps).
So yes, New Zealand is wonderful, green, gobsmackingly gorgeous and isolated enough that it can seem like a cute, remote safe haven removed from the world's global problems, apart from occasional disputes with the neighbour over rugby.
But every silver fern has a dark lining, as my Aunt Ethel used to say while throwing down White Russians to pass the afternoon. And New Zealand's dark lining is rich Americans.
Not that New Zealand is the only country in the world struggling to cope with rich Americans. We've all been forced to come to terms with Donald Trump.
But New Zealand has had to deal with a particular subset of rich Americans – the kind who think the end is nigh but they'll ride it out in a family-sized New Zealand bunker where even a 1000-foot tidal wave won't reach them.
The "apocalypse now" crowd have bought up so much shaky isles real estate that the New Zealand government is cracking down with legislation to shut the door on foreign buyers. It has argued that overseas wealth has fuelled New Zealand property prices and caused a homelessness crisis, or at least inflated house prices for rich New Zealanders.
"In this world of concentrating wealth, we don't want this coterie of ultra-wealthy people overseas being able to outbid successful New Zealanders for what is our birthright, not theirs," said the minister responsible for amendments to the Overseas Investment Act and the protection of successful New Zealanders, David Parker.
Which got me looking at how big a problem this might actually be. And within a few short minutes of googling "New Zealand" and "apocalypse" and "Americans", I was on a wild and scary trip deep into "prepper" territory.
Every so often I drop in, to see how the gun-totin', God-fearin', sometimes polygamy-supportin' "prepper" crowd are faring. And just in case you've missed National Geographic's Doomsday Preppers – congratulations – "preppers" are people preparing for the end of the world as we know it.
Preppers include people preparing for the apocalypse, armageddon, doomsday, a giant tidal wave, asteroid strike, nuclear meltdown, something to do with the sun flaring that I've never really understood, something else to do with cyber attack where your computer or phone turns on you, or people fearing how they'll survive if Justin Bieber ever retires.
Preppers prepare in different ways. Some spend the spring slaughtering chickens to make canned stews that are stored in secret underground locations for when an apocalypse or lesser apocalyptic event – say, a 500-foot tidal wave rather than a 1000-foot one – wipes out global food production.
Others work on their gun-totin' and shootin' skills for when we all turn on each other after a "peak oil" global collapse scenario. And others with lots of money head for New Zealand to build bunkers.
More than half its customers want bunkers out of fear of "economic collapse" when, if memory serves me from my National Geographic Doomsday Preppers DVD-watching days, we're all supposed to turn on each other. Only the gun-totin', canned chicken stew-storing, bunker-owners will survive.
In the course of my research about why the New Zealand Government is having its "We decide who buys into this country and the circumstances under which they buy" moment, I found an American construction company that used to build shopping centres, schools and wastewater treatment plants, but has specialised in bunker-building since its first urban bunker order in 1991 after the first Gulf War.
One rich American's backyard bunker order led to another, and another, and before the company knew it, it was building bunkers at the same rate as home theatres and bathrooms with fancy bidets, so that by the turn of the millennium (a very big "prepper" event), rich folks' bunkers were its biggest sellers.
By 2010 it had set up in Europe, the United Kingdom and had an Australia/New Zealand base because bunker-building had "taken over the firm".
More than half its customers want bunkers out of fear of "economic collapse" when, if memory serves me from my National Geographic Doomsday Preppers DVD-watching days, we're all supposed to turn on each other. Only the gun-totin', canned chicken stew-storing, bunker owners will survive.
The bunker-building company offers bunkers that are "ballistic-rated" to withstand – and I think I have this right, whatever it is – "electric-magnetic pulse protection" and the capacity to cope with the aftermath of a 1000-foot tidal wave, complete with carbon dioxide scrubbers and oxygen machines.
Bunkers cost a lot, but money doesn't buy happiness. Nor, it seems, does it buy certainty in an uncertain, post-apocalyptic world.
One of the many prepper/survivalist/very weird websites I gambolled through for an hour or so this week in pursuit of bunker knowledge sounded the alarm on them.
"Another bad idea is typically by rich people who want to build bunkers in their backyards in suburbia," warned a prepper expert, who said they sounded good in theory until the reality of being stuck underground with your kids for too long hit home. Sooner or later you'd come up for sun, fresh air, peace and quiet, or "to grow your garden", and "eventually you will get caught" by a shadowy person or persons un-named, said the expert.
I missed all this drama on my New Zealand holiday. Too busy eating the fesh and cheps, bro'.

Hi. Not sure if this is a question or suggestion but after having configured csf in various host and container machines it would be of great help to be able to overwrite only those tunned directives and make those survive updates.
What I mean, and not sure if its already possible is to have an include conf.d/*.conf directive so I can have my configurations overwrite the default csf ones like in Linux etc style services:
Is that possible at all?
Any problems in declaring more than once the config directives?
Configuration with conf.d/ type

Hailing from College Park, Georgia, Sammy $urf has gained attention for his ability to rhythmically ride a beat and construct melodic hooks. In the clever, new Brann-directed video for his single, "Nu Wave," Sammy can be seen literally surfing through Atlanta while also performing atop his city's buildings. The track, which is featured on A3C Volume 7, is produced by 3NIGM@.
The A3C compilation series has been influential within the genre, serving as a barometer to gauge which artists will become renowned staples in the ever-changing hip-hop landscape. Past compilation artists include G-Eazy, Curren$y, Action Bronson, Big K.R.I.T, Vince Staples, Ab-Soul, A$AP Rocky, Danny Brown, Underachievers, Rapsody, Smoke DZA, Trademark Da Skydiver, Freddie Gibbs, Sir Michael Rocks, Alex Wiley, Mick Jenkins, Dave East, Thouxanbanfauni, Robb Bank$, Michael Christmas, Tunji Ige, Manolo Rose, and Trinidad James, just to name a few. For this reason, the compilation has seen praise from various outlets including Apple, as its editors raved, "the A&R rep has done a commendable job, cherry-picking some of the most promising, would-be rap stars from countless wannabes."
Artists appearing on the seventh annual A3C compilation, A3C Volume 7, include Kodie Shane, Yung Booke (Hustle Gang), Yung Bans, Lucki, Terrance Escobar, Squidnice, Trizz, Mir Fontane, Rolling Stone P, Nell, Meko Supreme, Lil West, Caleborate, Cookie Money, Jimmy Wopo, Kamiyada+, ITSOKYTOCRY, Chuuwee, Calev, Solomonilla, Trippy Tha Kid, Smrtdeath, BigBabyGucci, Johnny Apollo, King Z3US, Brudda Haitian and many more.

"I'm back (not that I ever really left). I've built a new self-hosted website to counter the censorship I've experienced on so many Jewish controlled websites. It took some doing, but I finally figured out how to customize a blog enough to make it look as sexy as a custom site. Mike and I couldn't find any web designers to step up to the plate to help assist us so I'll also be creating a new Prothink.org for him. No complaints here, we get mountains of support in other areas, although it would be nice to have some veteran website programmers to hack out some other projects for us. Things look bright on the home front. We're gaining ground globally with awareness of the Jewish Mafia. Missing Links is approaching half-a-million views and has been watched all over the world and personally hand delivered in hard copy format to Germany. Mike will be scripting, producing and leading up distribution for JFK: The Puppet Masters, which will show beyond any doubt that the Jewish power elite assassinated John F. Kennedy. I'll be directing film. Mike and I are working on some reliable electronic methods to transfer funds to us to support these projects. You'll find my new site at ForceMultiplication.com and JohnAlanMartinsonJr.com, as well as JohnMartinsonJr.com will point to it. Lets turn up the heat on these criminal swine, get some new material out there and new faces aware of these important issues. We will prevail. Stay strong!"

REPORT: It was a scene as creepy as a Hannibal Lecter movie.
One man was shot to death by Miami police, and another man is fighting for his life after he was attacked, and his face allegedly half eaten, by a naked man on the MacArthur Causeway off ramp Saturday, police said.
The horror began about 2 p.m. when a series of gunshots were heard on the ramp, which is along NE 13th Street, just south of The Miami Herald building.
According to police sources, a road ranger saw a naked man chewing on another man's face and shouted on his loud speaker for him to back away.Meanwhile, a woman also saw the incident and flagged down a police officer who was in the area.
