177. The Governor in Council may, on the recommendation of the Minister, make regulations with respect to a substance released from a source in Canada into water that creates, or may reasonably be anticipated to create, water pollution referred to in subsection 176(1) for the purpose of preventing, controlling or correcting the water pollution, including regulations respecting

(a) subject to subsection (4) and the regulations, notify an enforcement officer or any other person designated pursuant to the regulations and provide a written report on the matter to the enforcement officer or other person;
(b) take all reasonable measures consistent with the protection of the environment and public safety to prevent the release or, if it cannot be prevented, to remedy any dangerous condition or reduce or mitigate any danger to the environment or to human life or health that results from the release of the substance or may reasonably be expected to result if the substance is released; and
(c) make a reasonable effort to notify any member of the public who may be adversely affected by the release or likely release.

(a) owns or has charge of a substance immediately before its release or its likely release into water; or
(5) Where any person fails to take any measures required under subsection (1), an enforcement officer may take those measures, cause them to be taken or direct any person referred to in subsection (2) to take them.

Do you believe truly successful salespeople make their own breaks? Paul H. Green, founder of The Green Sheet, made such a statement in the introduction to his book Good Selling!SMThe Basics . That volume and its sequel, Good Selling! SM Thirteen Weeks to Personal Success , have inspired and informed ISOs and merchant level salespeople (MLSs) since 2004.
In a new Inspiration series, I'm going to draw from these books for insights and tips to share with you, dear readers. For those who have Green's classics on their bookshelves, I hope these articles remind you of his mastery of the business of sales and give you a boost. And for those who've never read the books, I hope these columns provide you a worthy introduction to the wisdom of one of our industry's founders.
So, what does it mean to make your own breaks? According to Green, it means never being like a baby sparrow in a nest, beak wide open, expecting your ISO, employer, colleagues or current customers to feed you opportunities the way a mother bird brings food to her young. Yes, sometimes you will have a windfall like a referral that comes from out of the blue and leads to signing a major merchant account, but these sorts of things are not the real sales pro's bread and butter.
Making your own breaks means doing what you can, and all that you can, for yourself. It means working hard, consistently, day after day. It means relying upon yourself, and not on others, to make your fortune.
Now, if you are an MLS working independently, you have a great challenge before you, because the way you approach your business, plan your days and take actions is all up to you. You're on your own. But the benefits and perks you enjoy as a self-employed MLS are boundless. You may pay a greater share of Social Security tax than an employee does, but you can also deduct all legitimate business expenses from your income.
You can choose the location of your office and create a work environment that is optimal for you, from the paint on your office walls to the size of your computer monitor to the customer relationship management system you employ (if any).
Plus you set your own hours. You can sleep when you need it, eat when you're hungry, and sell, sell, sell when you are at your best. Now, it's true that sometimes your prospects' and clients' demands will necessitate that you work several 12- to 14-hour days to land a large account, or maybe you'll need to be by a merchant's side long into the night to help troubleshoot a vexing POS system issue. And sometimes you'll have slow months and feel a financial pinch.
But you are in charge. You'll never be downsized. And as long as you do all that you can to make your own breaks, you'll be headed for success in an ever-changing industry that continues to provide opportunities for those willing and able to work hard and seize them.


This regional Foodservice Sales and Marketing Company began using TriMetrix® assessments as part of their hiring process. The company also enrolled their entire sales force in IMPACT Sales Training.
The president of a growing foodservice sales and marketing company was asked to attend The Brooks Group's Sales Management Symposium by the CEO of a business he was going to purchase. According to the president, "Believe it or not, I went against my better judgment…I thought I already had a handle on all that." However, at the Symposium he became acquainted with the sales and sales management screening, development, and retention systems The Brooks Group offers…and he was impressed. The foodservice sales and marketing company began using TriMetrix® assessments offered by The Brooks Group to assist in making hiring decisions.
After experiencing the benefits of The Symposium and TriMetrix, the foodservice sales and marketing company's president signed his entire sales team up for IMPACT Sales Training with The Brooks Group.
By using the TriMetrix System, this company was able to create a job "benchmark" or profile of the ideal candidate for its sales position. The benchmark defined exactly what qualities it would take for a candidate to become a successful salesperson at their organization. They could assess each candidate with TriMetrix and compare the individual's scores in each area to the benchmark.

Valeriya Azarov is an children's books illustrator and has nothing to do with being a knight or her sister and her family's business in capturing and torturing Darkons. Instead Valeriya even as a child imagined dragons as playmates rather than creatures that were to be hunted for their blood. Her books include dragons that are beloved by the children that read them. Valeriya goes to find the drakon her sister is intent on capturing, no more sitting on the side lines.
Tarrant Cooper is a wind dragon and has little love for knights especially one whose sister is the head of the operation. After losing one of his human friends in the last book due to the actions of the knights, Tarrant is angry and seeing Valeriya he decides to gain information from her to destroy the knights.
Tarrant is drawn to Valeriya from the moment he sees her, as is Valeriya fascinated by him. Tarrant is hesitant to trust her all the while he can't help be attracted to her and his instincts tell him that she is innocent. I really liked them together, Valeriya was sweet and just a lovely character and Tarrant was quite protective of her which I really liked. They had chemistry right of the bat and we see them slowly falling in love. They were adorable!
This one also has a more threatening presence of the knights and we get see a bit more of the politics of their organization which increased the action factor of the book.
Overall, I'm really enjoying this series and can't wait for more. It just keeps getting better and better. Wonder which brother we will get next, the extremely social one or the quite one??

"The government needs to do more to make our public roads safe," Onaiyekan wrote in an email on Tuesday (May 3).
The attack on the cardinal comes amid increasing violence and kidnappings of clergy for ransom in the West African country.
In March, gunmen kidnapped and later released the Rev. Emmanuel Dziggau, president of the United Churches of Christ in Nigeria. In December, Anglican Bishop Gabriel Adebanjo of central Abuja was kidnapped, along with his wife. In September 2015, Anglican Bishop Moses Tabuwaye of Gwagwalada was kidnapped and released.
And only last month, The Punch newspaper reported that the decomposing body of a cleric kidnapped in northern Nigeria in March had been found.
Onaiyekan said he believed the attackers were not targeting him personally, since they shot at other cars on the road, where many attacks were known to occur.
Catholic Bishop Donatus Ogun of the Uromi Diocese had earlier issued a similar statement, saying the people of Edo state were living in fear of the criminals and their lives and property needed to be protected.


Following a soggy weekend that postponed racing, the Swamp Buggy Races return this Sunday.
The 70th anniversary season of the Naples original sport continues Sunday with the Winter Classic. It is the second or three racing weekends in the 2018-19 season.
The Winter Classic originally was scheduled for two days, Jan. 25-26, but heavy rains last weekend delayed the event. Because Florida Sports Park, home of the Mile-O-Mud swamp buggy track, was booked for an event Saturday, the Winter Classic will be a one-day event.
There will not be a practice session and time trials on Saturday like other racing weekends. Instead, all the buggies will run Sunday, with the green flag dropping at 12:30 p.m. The box office opens at 10:30 a.m. with the gates at 11.
"Barefoot" Bobby Williams enters the Winter Classic with a lead in the Bud Cup season-long points standings after winning the Fall Classic in November. Williams earned his first ever victory in the Big Feature, the crowning event of each racing weekend, after reigning Bud Cup champ Dan Greenling's pro-modified buggy broke down in the final race.
The Winter Classic is expected to be contentious, as three strong pro-modified drivers return after missing the previous races.
In November, 2018 Spring Classic winner Brian Langford couldn't race because of a mechanical malfunction. Eleven-time Bud Cup champ Eddie Chesser was out with an injury. Tyler Johns, who won the 2018 Winter Classic, couldn't make it with a personal issue.
No matter what happens, Williams said to expect a good time and the perfect appetizer before the NFL's Super Bowl on Sunday night.
Times: Box office opens at 10:30 a.m., gates at 11 a.m., racing at 12:30 p.m.


For Kant, our minds are not passive receivers of representations like mirrors. A normal flat mirror reflects the image from an object as if it is the same except in a twodimensional way. It was a common attitude among philosophers before Kant to treat the mind like a mirror. The mirror does not change the form of the object. Likewise, the mind does not affect or change the form of the objects, it just receives them. However, Kant changed the whole picture. He treated minds as active filters. Whatever is reflected on it is shaped in a certain way.

Q: Error in http syntax error in arduino code The function below describes a set of values from adruino shield and uno board using gps module.

This report would have more information with

enabled in File > Preferences.

A: You have an uneven number of quotation marks in line 459:

sprintf(aux_str, "AT+HTTPPARA=\"URL\",\"http://%s/demo_sim908.php?", url);

which is confusing the compiler.
It's hard to say without knowing exactly what you want to do but if you are printing 3 separate strings then it may be that you do not want to 'ESC' the third string - e.g.:

sprintf(aux_str, "AT+HTTPPARA=\"URL\"", "http://%s/demo_sim908.php?", url);

or alternatively if you are just trying to print two strings and the 'comma' before http is just part of the string then you might just have needed to close that 'ESCed' URL:

sprintf(aux_str, "AT+HTTPPARA=\"URL\",http://%s/demo_sim908.php?\", url);

Report: An airline made 2 Muslim men deboard a plane and go through airport security all over again
By Anthony Smith
According to a report in the Manchester Evening News, a Thomas Cook Airlines flight headed from Izmir, Turkey, to Manchester, England, was delayed for nearly 90 minutes after the crew made two Muslim men disembark and go through airport security for a second time. The incident occurred after fellow passengers complained the men appeared to be "making gestures" onboard.
The incident is the latest in a spate of airlines making international headlines for all the wrong reasons — a trend that began with a disturbing, widely circulated video showing airport security forcibly removing Dr. David Dao from a United Airlines flight after refusing to surrender his paid seat to make room for United's staff.
The Evening News said two women on the Thomas Cook flight sought the aid of flight attendants after claiming to witness two men making phone calls in the bathroom and "signaling to each other" as the plane prepared for takeoff. They also accused the men of having somehow bypassed airport security.
The cabin crew asked the two men to return to airport security. The passengers willingly complied and were eventually given the all-clear to reboard the plane. But that wasn't enough for their accusers, who, upon learning the men were allowed back on the plane, "refused to travel with them, instead choosing to return to the terminal," according to the Evening News.
One passenger on the flight described the baseless accusations and subsequent investigation as "an embarrassment."
"Two innocent Muslim men were marched off plane and searched as two English ladies refused to fly with them on plane," the unnamed passenger told the Evening News. "The result was a delay for everyone, and the men flew while the women were left behind."
In a statement, a spokesman for Thomas Cook Airlines apologized to the men.
"Two customers on this flight were asked to go through security a second time as a precaution, after unverified concerns were raised that the initial airport security check had missed them out," the spokesman said. "We'd like to thank these two customers for their patience and apologize for any inconvenience."


Overclocking the Athlon64 is very much like overclocking a Pentium 4 processor now that AMD has multiplier locked the processor. It may take a while for enthusiasts to get use to the whole process.
Because the memory controller and clock generator are built into the core of the processor, overclocking the chip can be a lot more tricky as memory controllers tend to max out very quickly. Also not much is known about the integrated clock generator and about how high it can go.
On a side note, before we get into the numbers I think it is important to mention that although we have used the term "FSB" in the following pages, the Front-Side-Bus isn't really applicable anymore to the Athlon64. As an AMD Representative puts it; "The 200MHz clock generator feeds the components of the motherboard (including the CPU), but it is not the speed of the CPUs interface to the memory controller or to the chipset. The old term FSB has always represented the speed at which the processor moves memory traffic and other command and data traffic to and from the chipset. Because the memory controller is located on the processor die, that memory subsystem traffic no longer has to go through the chipset or CPU-to-memory calls. With Athlon64 processors, the speed at which the CPU and memory controller interface is full processor frequency - the speed at which the processor and chipset communicate is dependent on the chipset's Hypertransport spec which can be at speeds of up to 1600MHz."
As the motherboard BIOS we tested with still uses the term "FSB" to facilitate overclocking, we will continue using it for the moment as well.
In any case, using the stock AVC Z7UB30 heatsink we started to raise the clock speed of the motherboard. At around 210 MHz "FSB" we ran into a few stability problems, but raising the memory voltage to 2.8V fixed that. At 221 MHz "FSB" we again ran into memory related issues and had to run the memory at 6:5 memory divider (DDR333 mode). We were a bit surprised that our Corsair XMS3500 CAS2 DIMM's maxed out so quickly as they easily run at 225-230 MHz "FSB" in dual channel mode with the most aggressive timings on nForce2 motherboards. Perhaps the Athlon64's integrated memory controller was starting to max out?
With the 6:5 memory divider enabled we seemed to hit the wall at 223 MHz "FSB." No matter what we tried we couldn't get the processor to run any faster. Another interesting thing that we discovered no matter how high we set the Vcore on the motherboard, the voltage the processor would only receive 1.5V.
The first attempts at overclocking the Athlon64 3200+ showed us a 10% increase in speed, and from such a large chip that is pretty good. And now, the benchmarks!!

Radio Roccella è un'emittente radiofonica nata nel 1976 a Roccella Ionica (RC).

Attraverso un impianto collinare di ripetizione il segnale dell'emittente può essere chiaramente ascoltato da Punta Stilo (a nord) fino a Capo Spartivento (a sud) entroterra compreso. Il territorio che si riesce a coprire abbraccia grossi centri della cosiddetta "Locride". In questo territorio sono compresi comuni quali Bovalino, Gioiosa Jonica, Locri, Riace (la città dei famosi Bronzi), Siderno, Stilo, ecc..

Dal mese di marzo del 1999, l'emittente è entrata a far parte del circuito "POPOLARE NETWORK", una scelta questa, voluta dal nuovo gruppo dirigente dell'associazione: "Siamo fieri di essere la prima radio in Calabria a diffondere il segnale del network e soprattutto pensiamo che così facendo possiamo contribuire a colmare, con l'informazione di Popolare, una lacuna per il territorio appagando la sete, che pure esiste, di informazione alternativa ai canali tradizionali."

Nella programmazione dell'emittente il network si intercala con 8 edizioni di un giornale locale, 3 edizioni di un giornale sportivo a carattere locale, programmi culturali e dibattiti in studio, approfondimenti tematici sulla politica locale e sul territorio, 2 grandi appuntamenti con una trasmissione che si occupa dello sport dilettantistico locale con collegamenti in diretta, interviste e commenti al sabato e alla domenica pomeriggio.

Naturalmente Radio Roccella non si limita solo allo sport o a programmi informativi. Per quanto attiene alle selezioni musicali, l'emittente jonica ha rafforzato la propria identità, superando i canoni tradizionali dell'easy-listening e dando spazio a jazz, funk, fusion, soprattutto nell'appuntamento pomeridiano e notturno.

Oggi, quindi, Radio Roccella riesce a far prevalere l'elemento persona sull'asetticità tipica della grande radiofonia nazionale con una programmazione non banale ma incastonata nel radicamento della cultura e delle tradizioni locali. Tutto ciò è stato possibile grazie all'impostazione societaria che, se da un lato ha impedito uno sviluppo forse più accelerato dei mezzi e delle tecnologie, dall'altro ha permesso la gestione di un'emittente radiofonica nel segno del volontariato e della passione per il mezzo radiofonico, lontano quindi, da concetti legati ad un'ottica di sviluppo di tipo commerciale. "Ci unisce soltanto la voglia ormai ultraventennale di fare radio. L'impostazione statutaria che ci siamo dati evita il pericolo che qualcuno possa pensare ad uno sfruttamento commerciale dell'emittente".

La scelta di essere una emittente con concessione a "carattere comunitario" è stata attentamente valutata e voluta proprio in quest'ottica.

Gli studi di trasmissione sono stati rinnovati nel luglio del 2005 sia nelle strutture logistiche che nella strumentazione tecnica che offre quanto di più innovativo e moderno possa esistere sul mercato.

The policy group the Mackinac Center on Wednesday criticized a school consolidation savings report done by a Michigan State University professor, saying it appeared to contain plagiarized material.
The report was commissioned by The Press and seven affiliated newspapers to examine whether countywide school consolidation or sharing of administrative services could bring savings to Michigan taxpayers.
The professor who authored the MSU study, Sharif Shakrani, said he was reviewing the matter.
The Mackinac Center cited seven paragraphs in the body of the report that provided policy discussions and background on the issue of consolidation. The sections appeared under the headings "Considering Alternatives to Consolidation" and "The Future of School District Consolidation in Michigan." It also challenged a similar number of sentences and sentence fragments.
None of the disputed material appeared in Press stories this week about the MSU findings.
"We were made aware of the Mackinac Center's concerns (Wednesday)," Press Editor Paul M. Keep said. "Dr. Shakrani is reviewing the material called into question, as are we.
"It is notable that the disputed material in the 13-page narrative is separate from the methodology and formula used to provide the study's detailed conclusions," Keep said. "Those conclusions found significant savings in taxpayer dollars through district consolidations or greater coordination of services."
Michael VanBeek, director of education policy at the Mackinac Center, questioned what he called a lack of attribution, quotations or footnotes for the material cited.
"Although the MSU study appears to be corrupted by plagiarized material, the findings could still theoretically be accurate," he said.
However, he said he believes the methodology that led to the conclusions is also "seriously flawed, and a more detailed review will follow."
The center said this section of the MSU report had appeared in the federal Educational Resources Information Center, or ERIC, under "Exploring Alternatives to Consolidation." It is located on page 4 of the report.
- Program offerings can be secured and often expanded.
- A balanced faculty is maintained and the academic expertise increases.
- Sharing enables schools to comply with federal and state mandates.
- Transportation facilities can be shared.
- Expenditures can be decreased through joint purchasing.
- Sharing increases community cooperation and support, a sense of local autonomy, teacher retention and school district stability.
The center said this section of the MSU report had appeared in a March 22, 2010 article by Melissa Maynard on Stateline.org. It is located on page 8 of the report.
The National Governors Association are among national groups that have begun encouraging states to take a serious look at some form of school consolidation as a way to offset funding cuts to K-12 education and to keep as much money as possible in the classroom. "We are in such financial crises in this country that we cannot afford to worry anymore about some of these considerations that, in light of the financial situation, appear minor," says John Thomasian, director of the National Governors Association Center for Bert (sic) practices. "Now that we are in such a clear and long-run fiscal climate of austerity, issues like school district consolidation have to be taken straight on."
But savings in school administration have been difficult for states to achieve because of the limited control the states have over how school districts spend their money. According to an October 2009 survey by the American Association of School Administrators, more districts have cut core subject teachers to cope with budget cuts than have cut central office or administration personnel. For the current school year, 42 percent of the districts surveyed reported that cutting core subject teachers, while 32 percent reported cutting administrative personnel. Next year, 36 percent of districts plan to cut additional core subject teachers, while only 20 percent plan to cut central office of administration personnel.
Even advocates of consolidation, such as Thomasian, acknowledge that the savings potential of these initiatives can be somewhat unclear. When states such as Maine pair significant cuts with massive reorganization plans, it can be difficult to tell savings from outright cuts. "States don't go into budget cutting as a clinical test," says Thomasian. "We don't have control groups, so a lot of it gets mixed together. That's why a lot of research to date on school district consolidation has been mixed."
The state of Michigan can approach school district consolidation in a number of different ways -- using the carrots and sticks approach by offering incentives to rural or small districts to consolidate.

Valdes Peninsula and Atlantic Patagonia
Welsh Patagonia
Heard the one about the Irishman who went all the way to Argentina, met a Welsh woman, and ended up chatting to her in Spanish? That was me.
I thought we might have had a little English in common, but Clery Evans doesn't speak English: her ancestors went to Argentina to escape it.
Nearly 150 years ago, on July 28, 1865, more than 150 Welsh-speaking men, women and children landed at what is now Puerto Madryn on the Atlantic coast of Argentine Patagonia. They had sailed in May from Liverpool on the Mimosa, a converted tea clipper, with the intention of establishing a community where they could practise their language and non-conformist faith free from the influence of English and the dictates of what they saw as "English" government.
This year, their descendants are marking the anniversary — the sesquicentenario de los galeses (of the Welsh), as the roadside banners in Chubut province have it. The self-governing territory the settlers envisaged never came to pass. New arrivals from Wales dried up after the First World War, to be succeeded by migrants — many of them Italians — from southern Europe; assimilation was insisted on by the Argentine government; and the Welsh became a minority in their new homeland.
They are, though, a prosperous and visible one. Parts of Chubut province may still be a big-sky wilderness of bushes and burnt grass, but there are also chacras (farms) exporting tulips to Amsterdam, plump cherries to Marks & Spencer. The arrival of the Welsh is remembered in the name of a local bus company, its vehicles emblazoned "28 de Julio". Their history is part of the curriculum: in a converted mill in the village of Dolavon (now an excellent restaurant), I found a coach party of schoolchildren sitting on the floor, clapping along to Lord of the Dance as a slideshow was screened of determined-looking settlers and their legacy of chapels.
Congregations may be elderly and dwindling, but the young still sign up for classes in Welsh in those chapels and their adjoining halls. Visitors, in brochures and in notices posted in hotels and restaurants, find themselves welcomed not only with bienvenido, bienvenue and wilkommen, but with croeso.
Clery Evans was welcoming, too. She's used to tourists dropping in to her home in Trevelin (Welsh for "Mill-town") to hear about her grandfather, John Daniel Evans, one of the heroes of the Welsh epic. He was returning in March 1884 with three other men from an exploratory trip into the interior when they were attacked by Mapuche Indians. His companions were killed, but he escaped — thanks, he reported, to a miraculous leap by his horse, Malacara, down a steep incline. I heard the story from Clery in a recreation of John Daniel's home in the grounds of her own, yards away from where Malacara is buried.
I heard other tales, too, of the Welsh community past and present, from men whose very names suggest a blending of blood and culture. One was Rogelio Rhys, whose father was "the first or second Baptist minister in South America"; the other was Alejandro Jones, who earns his living as a farmer but is well known locally as a singer, composer and performer at eisteddfodau. If you travel to the fascinating place that is Welsh Patagonia, there's a good chance you'll run into both. If not, there's a well-informed man in the town of Gaiman who'll be able to tell you where to find them. He'll also tell you why, though his name is Fabio González, he is custodian of a museum dedicated to the Welsh. It's a story worth hearing.

|Then shall the dust return to the Earth as it was; and the Spirit shall return to God Who gave it.| -- Eccles.12:7.
Beloved and honored, fare thee well!
Thy narrow bed -- sleep softly there!
Our pilgrim friend returns no more!
The soul to God -- the dust to dust.
Through the dark valley, home to God.
Forever share his Master's love.
Thanks for thy joy, all danger past!
Thanks for our own good hope at last!
Joy cometh with the morning light.
Lord, will that morning soon appear?
May our own summons now be near?
Shall sorrow soon be past and gone?
Thy will be done! Thy will be done!
With thee, and with our brother blest.


From the centre of Someda (hamlet above Moena), follow the street Strada de Sèn Roch, leaving the village (free parking here). While riding you will pass the Austrian Fort of the First World War, keeping the stream "Rif de Sèn Pelegrin" on your right side downward. You reach then the area "Ronchi", and the lower station of Lusia cabin lift.
When you reach "Ronchi", you will come back to Someda following the same street of the outward route.
Notes. Refreshment places: "Ronchi", San Pellegrino Pass, Fuciade. There are fountains along the path in Someda, "Ronchi" and at San Pellegrino Pass.
Description MTB tour no. 904: on this route you can reach the beautiful hollow of Fuciade well-known also thanks to the famous and refined restaurant/refuge bearing the same name. From Someda, the track passes through the entire San Pellegrino Valley, mostly on forest roads, eventually leading back on the main road.
From the village of Someda, continue on Strada de Sèn Roch, soon leaving the village. You pass the Austrian World War I fort and follows the "Rif de Sèn Pelegrin" stream to reach "Ronchi", the Lusia downstream station of the cabin lift and from here, with a steep but short climb, the bridge over the "Rif de Sèn Pelegrin". Cross the main road and turn right onto the forest road that runs parallel to the river. You go past "Fango" and continue in the direction of San Pellegrino Pass. You come out of the woods at the bar/restaurant Malga Negritella then take the national road. Up at the pass, you go on for about 200 m to the other side and at a flyover over the track you go left onto the road that leads to the parking lot near the Hotel Miralago, from where you take the dirt road, which mostly flat, that allows you to reach the valley of Fuciade. For the return trip, shortly after the Fuciade Refuge, at the fork, go down to the left along the steep road that leads on to the national road of San Pellegrino Pass. It climbs up and then one has the long descent towards Moena.
Single Trail Scale STS: S0. Describes a single trail without any particular difficulties. They are mostly forest or meadow paths on a natural surface with good grip, or compact gravel. Steps, rocks or roots are not to be expected. The gradient will be slight to moderate, curves are not tight. Even without any particular MTB technique trails with S0 can be managed.

Martinez's support for Hall of Fame drops
By John Hickey January 5, 2011 Updated: October 8, 2012 4 Comments3 Mins Read
Support for Edgar Martinez's Hall of Fame bid fell off as he received 32.9 percent of the vote
Longtime Seattle designated hitter Edgar Martinez suffered a somewhat alarming setback in his bid for baseball immortality Wednesday.
Martinez, in his second year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame, lost ground in the voting turned in by 10-year members of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA).
After getting 195 votes, accounting for 36.2 percent of the total number of votes last year, Martinez saw his support fall to 191 votes and 32.9 of the votes cast in a competition where it takes 75 percent voter approval to make the grade.
Second baseman Roberto Alomar (523 votes, 90.0 percent) and starting pitcher Bert Blyleven (463, 79.7) were the only players with votes for enshrinement this time around in Cooperstown. They will join former Seattle general manager Pat Gillick for the induction ceremony July 24.
Martinez's candidacy is at the center of a minor storm, voters divided on just how much milestone numbers – 3,000 hits, 500 homers being the principals – count towards enshrinement in Cooperstown as opposed to a career spent as a DH.
After suffering a knee injury early in his career, two-time American League batting champion Martinez spent very little time in the field, but did such great work as the Seattle DH, including a .312 career batting average built on 2,247 hits, that he set the standard to such a degree that the DH of the Year award is named for him.
There are voters who don't believe in the DH as a full-time position, and voters who mark players down for time spent as a DH. The only player in the Hall of Fame now with substantial DH time is Paul Molitor, and half of his career was spent playing in the field. Martinez, on the other hand, spent more than three-quarters of his career as the Seattle DH and voters seem to be acutely aware of his lack of time in the field.
Martinez is, in fact, the only player for whom a major baseball award is named who is not in the Hall of Fame.
It could be a while before Martinez, a seven-time All-Star and the owner of 309 homers and 1,261 career RBIs, gets there, if he ever does.
Blyleven, who didn't get approval until the 14th of the allowable 15 years spent on the ballot, seemed to offer comfort to Martinez. The pitcher had his ups and downs with voters en route to Cooperstown.
"It's been frustrating over the years,'' Blyleven said. "Some years I would see (his vote total) go down. It wasn't until last year, when I went from 62 percent to 74 percent and being five votes short that I felt I was getting close.''
Martinez still has another 13 years on the ballot. As was the case with Blyleven, he should be prepared for a see-saw ride.

Edgar Martinez was a great batter and human being. Designated hitter is not a hall of fame position.
Strump Malone on January 15, 2011 3:00 am
Of course it is. It is an official position on every American League roster, and therefore deserves recognition at Cooperstown. Coaches,sports broadcasters, and owners are enshrined, yet they never had to face a split-fingered fastball. As most teams know, finding a player who knows how to successfully approach the DH position is very difficult. Griffey couldn't do it. Martinez was the best, and, in fact, defined the position. Put him in.

Loud drunken ruckuses are not exactly rare in New York City around last call soon, but the voices that are volleying back and forth at the moment have an odd quality about them, perhaps. "BECAUSE if I leave the good remover y'all bitches steal it all when I'm on stage!" someone is saying. Shouting, really. There are some indistinct noises of protest. "Hell no, don't even try and front, I know you can't buy your own because they don't sell that shit at K-Mart! I need to wash this rank-ass dress anyway!" The one shouting makes his way out to the street through an alley, his conversation partners left behind him. He's got a reusable grocery bag dangling from one hand, stuffed with what looks like clothes. He's wearing a stick-straight blonde wig, about fifty pounds of makeup, a bubblegum-pink sequined dress, with matching gooey lipstick in the same candy shade slathered on (expertly), weaving slightly on clear plastic platforms that surely aren't sent to the Payless in his size.
Coming from one club and on her way to another, Tamara has somehow taken a wrong turn and managed to get herself lost. She's leaning up against her Audi TTS Roadster - blue convertible, as promised - dialling her cell phone with mounting frustrating as every call just keeps getting bounced to voicemail. This isn't the type of neighbourhood where she's going to leave her pride and joy unsupervised, but at the sound of approaching voices - even ones that are shouting about bitches and K-Mart - get her to look up with some degree of hope. "Excuse me!" she calls out to the … woman? Suffice to say, she doesn't recognize Geoff right away.
Geoff looks over at the call and squints under enormous fake eyelashes. "/Barbie/?" he asks, "Is it really you?" His voice is pitched upward a just a little to go with the dress. Looking past Tamara and noting the car, he grins. "Shit, there it is, the Dream Car, as advertised. You came to give me a ride, huh?" Unlike the other night, he's got a jocular, high-energy quality about him. Maybe it's because he's drunk. He gestures at himself. "Look—I'm you!" he announces, looking back up at her and lifting his eyebrows to see what she thinks of that.
Tamara tilts her head to one side as she squints at Geoff, having a little trouble reconciling those references with the figure before her, but it only takes a few moments for the shoe to drop. "Well, look at you. Nice shoes," she replies with a cool nod, hanging up on the voice mail message coming through her phone's speaker, and dropping her hand back to her side. "If you're going to be me, you need to have the right accessories." She glances back over her shoulder at the car, giving it a fond little pat above the door handle.
Geoff lifts an eyebrow. "Wow, you're offering me your car?" he asks. "That's so sweet, but I couldn't /possibly/ accept. I never drive in the city, you know," he says, affecting a blue-blooded Savannah accent for some reason and putting a hand to his chest. Then he drops it. "What happened, you run out of gas?"
"Slow down there, Mini-Me," Tamara replies with a smirk, at all this talk of giving him her car. "Damn right you can't accept. This here is my pride and joy and nobody is coming between us and living to tell the tale." But the threat is tossed of easily, more in jest than like she is actually going to get violent. "I'm lost. Apparently. Unless this dry cleaners is secretly one of those underground clubs," she replies, nodding to some tiny mom-and-pop place along the storefronts.
"Mini-Me?" Geoff asks, pulling back as though insulted. "Bitch, please. I'm Godzilla in these shoes." He gestures around. "This here is Chelsea-Clinton. Bet you never knew how many people wanted to be in Chelsea Clinton, huh?" he asks, laughing at his own crude joke. "Gimme a ride and I'll give you directions."
"Figured it was better than Wannabe, but your pick," Tamara tosses off with a one-shouldered shrug as she glances around the area. "Never knew I'd end up in her by mistake. Talk about your wrong turns…" She considers the car a moment, considers him, and then nods. "Best deal I'm likely to get around here. Get in. And you might want to buckle up." She straightens up, pushing away from the side of the car so that she can turn and clamber in herself.
"Ooh," Geoff says, rounding his lips and turning his head so that he's looking at Tamara doubtfully from the corners of his eyes. "You better be nice if you want good directions." Still, he doesn't hesitate to hop in the front seat, putting his seatbelt on. "I always buckle up, Barbie," he tells Tamara. "You ever been in a car wreck?" He shakes his head as if to say that it's not fun. "Okay, where we going?"
"You better give good directions if you want to get home," Tamara replies with a careless laugh as she slides into the drivers seat, fastening her own seatbelt as well. "I like to drive fast, but the city really isn't very conducive to that," she adds, checking herself in the rearview mirror before readjusting it and sparking the car back into life. "Club's in the Village," she notes, already beginning to put the car into motion while she awaits the first bit of direction.
"Okay…" Geoff says, pausing to think, then points down the street. "Turn right there," he advises. "You better watch it driving fast in the city," he cautions. "'Specially in a convertible… Had my accident in a firebird. Big-ass engine saved my life, probably, but those old windshields just cut the shit out of you…" He must be drunk, babbling like that on a tangent. "Go left at the corner."
"Thankfully, I'm a really good driver. Plus we all have to go sometime," Tamara says without much concern, and indeed, her driving is perhaps a bit fast and loose for someone aiming not to get into an accident. She takes the right sharply, managing to squeeze in before another car can take the intersection. The left turn has her veering across the oncoming traffic - but with just enough time to spare. "Anyway, my baby wouldn't do me wrong."
Despite his tales of an accident, Geoff doesn't seem all /that/ concerned with her driving, although he looks over his shoulder at the car they pass, then puts a hand on top of his head so as not to lose his wig in the breeze. "You don't always die, you know. I was just picking glass out of my chest for a month. If it'd got my face, I guess I'd have to be a janitor or something. So what do yousecond leftwhat do you do?"
The second left is taken with about as much care as the first, although Tamara does bother to signal this time - granted, she's already partway into the turn, but points for effort at least. "All the more reason to drive fast. I'd sooner die than be ugly." She says it with a straight face too. "I'm a consultant. Emergency management. What can I say, I like the rush." She cuts a quick glance to the rearview before looking again to the road ahead. "But I'm between gigs right now, so I have a good time until the money runs out. I actually haven't been in the city long." Hence the getting lost.
"What's 'emergency management' mean?" Geoff wonders, then peers at an approaching street sign. "You want me to give you directions to the Village first, so you see where you're going, or you want to drop me off and then I tell you the rest?"
"Depends how much you want to help a damsel in distress, I suppose," Tamara replies with a smirk. "I can drop you off and wing it though, if you're in a rush." She then refers back to his previous question. "Basically when companies get screwed up more than usual, they call me in to tell them how to fix it. I can't really get into specifics, since the NDAs would take me up the posterior, but that's the gist, anyway. If I do my job right, you never even notice they had a problem in the first place."
"I'm free," Geoff answers, smiling. "Take a right." That instruction given, he tries to listen to what she's saying to him. "I still have no idea what it means," he admits, smiling. "But I don't know what an 'NDA' is, either. Guess that's why every job wants a college degree. You have to learn a whole new set of ABCs."
"Probably just as well. If I tell you too much, I'd have to kill you," Tamara deadpans again as she takes the right turn. She spares a glance down at her phone, but there are no return calls. "Nondisclosure agreement," she adds, explaining the acronym. "Means I can't talk about it or they can sue the pants off me. And I happen to like keeping my pants." Granted, she's wearing a skirt right now, but the point remains valid. Especially since she's not talking about literal pants here. "Anyway, college is… Well, it's cliche to say it's overrated, but there you have it. Success is all about making the right connections."
"Yeah, I bet they're Ralph Lauren," Geoff says, looking at a building they pass. "Okay, if you keep going straight on this street you'll at least be in the Village. I don't know what club you want, though…" He glances at Tamara, smiling and shrugging. "I'm no networker," he says. "And I don't know how to do /anything/ anybody wants to pay convertible money for."
"At the very least," Tamara says, of her pants, growing a little distracted as she begins thumbing through her phone to look up the name of the club. "It's new… Hasn't actually opened yet, not to the public…" She replies, as though maybe this will help him know it, or maybe help in her search. "Anyway, networking is easy. You just talk to people. Find out what they want. And then you don't quite give it to them, but you give them enough that they keep bringing you back for more." She finally locates the address and reads it out to him.
"Jesus, watch the road," Geoff says, putting out a hand as though he might take the wheel, but his hand doesn't come any closer to it than six inches away. At least he isn't wearing absurd press-on nails or anything like that. His are bare and clipped short. "Okay, one more left, then, and it'll be on the left," he says. "So I'm the 'public,' huh?" he asks with a slow smile.
"Oh it's fine," Tamara assures him, glancing up in time to scoot the car around a bit of garbage blowing in the street. "Anyway, we needed the address." She glances over at him, now that she's done with the phone - although that still isn't exactly watching the road. "You're the public right now. Unless your name is on the list, which I'm not going to assume one way or another. I just happen to know a guy who knows a guy." She pauses and then concludes, "Networking."
"My name isn't on shit," Geoff says. "And it's all good for you to say 'networking' when you've got what important people want." He glances over at her. "But when you don't have shit, then nobody wants what you got." He bends down and digs a pack of cigarettes out of his bag. "That's it on the left, probably," he says, getting one out.
"Then you have to make them want you," Tamara replies, as though it's really just that simple. She slows down (finally) in order to cruise past the club, giving it a carefully look. "Yeah, that's it. Thanks!" Her joy is short-lived though as she looks around. "I am never going to find parking here, am I." She expels a sharp breath of frustration at this city at it's stupid traffic, but that passes quickly too. "So, now I owe you a ride home. Unless… I mean, I could maybe get you in, if you want, but I tend to operate solo."
"No, you're not gonna get parking," Geoff says flatly, as though it were foolish to even dream of such a thing. "Five million people, you think they got curb space for all that?" He smiles. "And yes," he decides. "I want in. Promise not to cramp your style."
Tamara considers him for a moment and then nods. "Okay. Then help me find somewhere to leave my baby where she's not going to get jacked or booted," she replies, drumming her fingers lightly against the wheel as she swings around the block, looking for any sort of valet or underground lot. "I hate cabs and I don't do mass transit," she adds, even though he didn't really ask why she brought the car on a night out.
"Too good to sit your ass with the 'public,' huh?" Geoff asks, smiling. "Okay, hold on." He pulls out his phone, which is sadly only a phone of average intelligence and totally insensible to touch, but has a slide keyboard. The phone matches this look much better than the wifebeater-hoodie combo. He types something in. "Okay, there's a garage around the corner to the right," he says. "You don't want to park this baby on the street, anyway."
"Damn right," Tamara replies without the slightest bit of chagrin. "Besides, I'm paying a ridiculous fee to garage the thing, so I'm going to use it." Even if it means paying yet more when she goes out. She continues cruising along the street while Geoff works the magic on his phone. She cuts the corner to the right and brings them along to the garage. "No, this is definitely not a street parking sort of car." So she is pleased with the garage, getting a ticket and leading them down into it, in search of an open spot.
Geoff grabs his grocery store bag full of his clothes. "And what are your little non-public friends gonna say when you walk in with me?" he wonders, frowning at the tote but shrugging at last. "Besides that you have excellent taste in dates."
Tamara backs them into a parking spot that seems to be well protected, with a pillar on one side and a massive SUV on the other, giving her tiny sports car some shelter from passing traffic. "Honestly? I have no idea. I guess we'll find out," she replies as she cuts the engine. "It's not exactly the weirdest thing I've been up to, anyway. Although you might be the first not-so-Mini-Me that I've picked up," she grants.
"Betcha 90 percent are too chickenshit to say anything in the first place," he says cheerily, getting out of the car. He bends down to fix his wig in the rear-view mirror. "They prob'ly won't see the resemblance. /My dress/ isn't worth somebody's rent." He sets off at a pretty good pace for the street and then the club, despite the uncomfortable-looking footwear.
"Now, now. Don't be jealous," Tamara teases smoothly as she puts the automatic top up on the car so that it can be securely locked and armed. That done, she steps out of the car and presses the button on the remote, the car giving a diligent beep-beep in return. "Anyway, it's a trendy sort of club. Those people who will even deign to notice will probably think its avant guard or cutting edge. Hell, tell them you're an artist and they'd let you smear them with Vaseline just to have a story to tell tomorrow."
Geoff laughs at Tamara's joking advice. "'Don't be jealous,'" he repeats, chuckling at that, too. "That's a good one. Nobody drives that kind of car who /doesn't/ want other people to be jealous. Can't wait to see how you get me in, by the way."
Tamara glances back at her car with a smirk, unable to entirely argue with the logic on that one. Still, she does note, "It's pretty." Turning back to face forward, she offers a shrug. "I have my methods. I can be quite persuasive when it suits my needs," she informs him, keeping an air of mystery about the whole thing - although that seems to be at least somewhat in jest. Maybe.
"Well, if it was ugly, people wouldn't be jealous, now would they?" Geoff points out, smiling at Tamara's claims of secret bargaining power. Though he barely managed a whole expression the other night, tonight he's all smiles.
"I don't know. People get jealous of all sorts of things," Tamara points out smoothly. "But their issues really aren't my problem. Wait here," she instructs as they approach on the club, intending to leave him a few yards away from the door unless he insists on following her to the man with the clipboard so that she can work on getting them past the proverbial velvet rope.
Geoff waits where he's told, finally lighting up that cigarette, although he gives Tamara one suspicious look that isn't entirely smoothed out by all that makeup. After all, she could easily slip inside and leave him high and dry. Or maybe he's suspicious about something else.
Tamara refrains from giving him the slip, even though it seems to take some amount of bargaining with the clipboard man in order to make her case. His other suspicions, well, those may just have to remain for now. But eventually, she does make her way back over to him. "If anyone asks, you're a Swedish pop star. Actually, you don't speak English, so don't say anything to anyone until we're inside," she amends without missing a beat.
Geoff smirks at Tamara. "Danke," he says easily enough. He may not know whether Swedes say 'danke' or not, but he seems to figure it's unlikely that the bouncer does, either. But after having said that, he really does keep his mouth shut until they get inside. And once they're in, he keeps his promise, and disappears in the crowd, leaving Tamara to work her own magic alone.

Lila Street Dog Wandering Around Gets Helps Form A Kind-Hearted Family
Amongst the people who ill treat street dogs, some people love them. This is a story of an Australian Shepherd puppy named Lila who was wandering around in the streets. She recently had been found lying and resting on an entrance hall of a house in La Porte, Greater Huston, Texas.
When the people of the house had seen her they had provided her food, and she had taken it as an invitation to the house and refused to leave the house. Time passed on and she hadn't left, as the people of the house couldn't take her in and did want her to be left around in the streets. They had asked for help from the rescue team This Is Houston.More info & Photo courtesy: aubtu.biz
A Facebook post was also shared by the rescue team captioning the incident that happened. They had said that they are thankful for the fact that the puppy found a family that would offer some help for her. One of their rescuers had brought the pup safely as she couldn't bear to the puppy lying down
They had said that the 4-5 months old puppy suffers from Demodex mange and she'll be taken to the vet. Until then she's resting fine. Kourtney Crenshaw is the person who helps Lila, and Lila was happy to see her.
Kourtney had said to the Dodo that when she first met Lila, she was a bit nervous but as she smelled Kourtney and she pets the pup it was fine. As the pup wouldn't walk she had taken it to the car and gone home. As it was easy to gain the trust of the puppy, Crenshaw said that the pup might have been waiting for help.
Little Lila had been taken to the vet and she's been treated for the conditions caused due to the Demodex mange. She's living happily with Crenshaw and Crenshaw's also trying her best to make her recover soon so that she could find a good home for her forever stay.
As Kourtney said the pup is well adopted and she loves having back scratches and belly rubs and she loves food more than anything. When she's all recovered and fine she'll be ready to be adopted.

A14: Drunk Lorry Driver Jailed
5 September 2013, 14:10 | Updated: 5 September 2013, 16:04
A lorry driver caught three times over the limit on the A14 in a 44 tonne truck has been sent to prison for 20 weeks.
Kestutis Ruplaukis, 53, was spotted driving erratically and was eventually pulled over by police on Sunday September 1.
PC John Mayor had been called to the stretch of the road between Northamptonshire and Huntingdon shortly before midnight.
Footage from the onboard camera in the police car showed the 44-tonne heavy goods vehicle swerving across both lanes of the carriageway.
He requested back up and prevented other motorists trying to overtake the lorry and risk a collision.
Ruplaukis was eventually stopped at Brampton Hut, but initially tried to resist arrest, kicking out at an officer.
He was found to have 97 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35.
He admitted driving an HGV with excess alcohol and obstructing a police officer at Cambridge Magistrates' Court and was jailed for 20 weeks and banned from driving for 36 months.
PC Mayor said: "The footage shows just how bad Ruplaukis's driving was and is a reminder of how dangerous driving while under the influence of alcohol is.
"Being so out of control, especially in such a large vehicle, put other road users at serious risk of harm.
"Thankfully we were able to stop him before he was involved in a serious collision."

(The following excerpts from an interview between a PRAVDA.RU journalist and Captain Nikolay Cherkashin are taken from the web page at:
http://english.pravda.ru/main/2002/09/14/36639_.html
captain charkashin has been investigating the circumstances surrounding the 1967 uss liberty tragedy during the past several years. what is more, a book by nikolay cherkashin, "mysteries of lost warships," was recently published. this is the result of his independent investigations of russian submarines from empress maria to the kursk.)
well, let's go back to the attack on the liberty. could it have been a tragic accident when the us ship was mistakenly taken for an egyptian cargo ship? was it a deliberate attack? provocation? what do you think about it?
- last year, a russian translation of joseph daichman's "history of the mossad" was published in moscow. the author describes the tragedy in 1967 in detail. he admits that it was perfectly clear that the liberty was an american ship and that the attack was committed to deprive the usa "of its eyes and ears," of the opportunity to control the situation. daichman says the attackers had the right to act so. the israelis feared that the liberty would report information about the course of the war: they wanted to keep it a secret that troops had been shifted to syria and the egyptian border wasn't protected at all. the border was quite open for egyptian soldiers to cross. israel knew that american radio signals were intercepted by the soviet union, and the latter would certainly inform egypt of the fact. that is why the liberty was to be sunk to avoid leakage of important information. this is a very cynical version. i even couldn't have thought that i would ever read it.
which version do you prefer?
- both versions don't contradict each other. both objects could be pursued at once, and two birds could be killed with one stone. israel wanted to stop leakage of information and, at the same time, established a precedent for us troops to fight against arabs. if the americans landed, the soviet troops would also have done the same, and a great stir would have started then.
the soviet submarine k-172 under the command of nikolay shashkov armed with missiles and nuclear warheads was at the very same moment in the bay of sidre. the submarine received instructions to surface and deliver a blow against the israeli coast if the americans landed troops on syrian shores. the submarine had eight nuclear missiles on board. however, as we know the israeli coast means the whole sate of israel stretched along the sea. israel would have been completely destroyed if such blows were delivered by the soviet submarine. i wrote about nikolay shashkov; the publication was called "the man who was to destroy israel." the publication produced a strong response from society. i received inquiries from the israeli embassy, and many journalists wanted just to see the man who was to liquidate the israeli state. the k-172 crew had to operate under emergency conditions; the submariners nearly died of high concentration of mercury vapor in its compartments. several people were poisoned with the vapor, suffered from hallucinations and giddiness, and no explanation could be found to it. can you imagine what submariners suffering from hallucinations could have done with nuclear warheads? they were to have been immediately sent to hospitals. however, as the situation in the region was still tense, the soviet navy commander-in-chief asked the submariners if they would be able to stay in the area for several more weeks, and the submariners agreed. even when doctors were sent to the submarine, they failed to find the cause of hallucinations and giddiness. nobody even guessed that was mercury, and people spent two months in the compartments poisoned with mercury vapors.

One of the proposed changes is the removal of the word "unexpected" when referring to servicing and maintenance operations "in which the unexpected energization or startup of the machines or equipment, or the release of stored energy could cause injury to employees" in the agency's Lockout/Tagout Standard.
Other changes would include, as worded in the standard, the updating of three standards to align with current medical practice, including a reduction to the number of necessary employee X-rays, updates to requirements for pulmonary function testing, and updates to the table used for decompression of employees during underground construction. Additionally, the proposed revisions include an update to the consensus standard incorporated by reference for signs and devices used to protect workers near automobile traffic, a revision to the requirements for roll-over protective structures to comply with current consensus standards, and updates for storage of digital X-rays and the method of calling emergency services to allow for use of current technology. OSHA is also proposing to remove from its standards the requirements that employers include an employee's social security number on exposure monitoring, medical surveillance, and other records in order to protect employee privacy and prevent identity fraud.
OSHA claims the proposed revisions would save employers an estimated $3.2 million annually.
The agency is seeking public comment on the proposed rule. Comments are due Dec. 5.
Phase III of the Standards Improvement Project rule was enacted in 2011.
