The Tampa Bay Rays saw a 4-1 deficit get erased in the sixth, but the Rays offense scored the last 15 straight runs, ending a two-game skid with a record-tying 19-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins Saturday at Target Field.
Chris Archer put up a scoreless first, but found himself down 1-0 before the end of the second, as he left a breaking ball up and Max Kepler sent it into the seats for his 11th home run of the year.
Tampa Bay would be held without a hit by Jose Berrios until the fourth, when Matt Duffy singled to lead off the frame. Jake Bauers followed with a walk, and Wilson Ramos drove in both runners with a double to give the Rays the lead.
Ji-Man Choi flew out to deep left-center, and after Joey Wendle grounded out, Carlos Gomez and Mallex Smith hit back-to-back doubles leading to two more runs and a 4-1 advantage,
Minnesota started their comeback in the fifth as Eduardo Escobar's RBI single cut the Rays lead back to 4-2, and the Twins took the lead an inning later thanks to an RBI fielder's choice by Joe Mauer followed by a two-run double by Eddie Rosario. Escobar's RBI single gave them an insurance run and a 6-4 lead.
But the Rays bats came back in the top of the seventh, scoring five times on RBI singles from Kevin Kiermaier and Duffy, a sacrifice fly by Jesus Sucre, who took over for Ramos after the All-Star catcher left in the sixth with a hamstring injury, and a two-run triple by Wendle off Ryan Pressly that gave Tampa Bay back their three-run lead.
The Rays added on with five more runs in the eighth off Matt Belisle, including a two-run double by Jake Bauers and a two-run homer from C.J. Cron, then added an additional five runs off backup catcher Willians Astudillo in the ninth, with Gomez and Bauers each homering, with the latter helping the Rays tie the franchise record for runs scored in a game at 19.

Companion Animal Solutions believes that breed bans are a bad idea for a number of reasons. Instead of discussing this broad topic in a general way, I decided to get a copy of Seattle’s proposed breed ban legislation. I found so many vague and problematic issues with Seattle’s proposed legislation that I’m breaking my article into three parts. This is the first of those three parts.
Recently I’ve noticed bumper stickers and posters popping up with sweetheart pictures of stocky dogs or small children or both, either in support of or in opposition to breed bans. In many dog communities, breed-specific legislation (BSL) has become a prominent topic of discussion and debate, resulting in a variety of websites and groups centered on promoting or preventing laws restricting ownership or breeding of “pit bulls” among other breeds. One article can neither fully explore the numerous perspectives on this delicate, emotionally loaded topic, nor discuss the rationale (or lack thereof) behind all of them. This series of blog entries will focus on the local situation: the practicality of proposed legislation that has recently been circulating in Seattle. After reading the proposed law from beginning to end, I’m convinced that the writers missed out on a few very important facts about dogs, beginning with their designation of which dogs this law would affect.
One of the biggest debate points regarding breed bans has been the ability to identify the banned breeds to begin with. The proposed Seattle law would affect the following breeds: “Akita, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, Cane Corso, Dogo Argentino, Dogue de Bordeaux, Kuvasz, Pit Bull Terrier, Presa Canario, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, or Tosa Inu, or breed of any dog, or any mix of dog breeds which contains as an element of its breeding any of the abovelisted breeds, as to be identifiable of or partially of such breed(s), and any breed designated by the Director pursuant to this chapter as a “fighting breed”.
“Any mix of dog breeds with an element of any of those breeds?” How large a percentage is considered an element? Considering that dog trainers, breeders, veterinarians, and shelter workers with years of experience working with a variety of breeds are often at a loss when it comes to identifying the combination of breeds that make up many mixed-breed dogs, I’m interested to know how the city intends to enforce this. For many dogs, visual inspection will not allow reliable, accurate identification. Many Boxer or American Bulldog mixes (heck, even purebreds are frequently misidentified) might be labeled “pitbull mixes” because of their stocky build and short fur. For example, the “Find a Pit Bull Quiz” is quite enlightening for many people.
An alternative might be DNA testing, but even here we run into a reliability problem. I’ve met or heard of a number of Heinz 57 mutts whose DNA results came back “unknown,” talked to owners of AKC purebreds whose results listed three or four breeds, with the dog’s registered breed third or fourth on the list. The “Wisdom Panel MX Mixed Breed Analysis,” one of the more expensive DNA tests available, retails at about $130 before you pay the vet to do the blood draw required. My Google search to find product reviews for different DNA tests) suggests vets consider the Wisdom Panel more reliable than the cheaper cheek swab kits. According to the company website, the test has “an average accuracy of 90% in first generation cross-bred dogs.” It says nothing of second or third generation cross-bred dogs (what if the dog in question comes from two mutts, as well?), and even among the dogs they used to test, 90% accuracy isn’t a number I’d be willing to bet a dog’s life on. However, should the City of Seattle find DNA tests to be an acceptable method of determining if an element of one of the breeds in question exists, who will foot the bill for the test? Simply determining which dogs the restrictions should apply to is a huge challenge.
I’ll look at further problems with the legislation in Part Two of this blog.

One day, suffering from an “artist block” and feeling empty, I meditiated and created this forest scene. I sought to seek comfort in the embrace of the trees, almost smelling the soothing aromas of leaves and wood. I wanted to soak in the positive energy of my green surroundings. Notice my use of contrast in space and dominance - my lovers, so fragile and vulnerable against the vastness and energy and strength of the trees that is just so overwhelming.
The fragrance of the yellow flowers still lingered in my senses as I go on my way to the direcion of the rays of sunlight in the horizon. Sunlight filtered through every gap in the vibrant trees, illuminating the reflection of faraway trees. I could almost hear the birds whistling in the wind - hear them with me.
This experience has surely healed my soul.
My hope for you, in this journey with me has filled you with a lot of solace, peace and triumph as it gave me.

Not walking away, US expresses willingness to address concerns of Pakistan
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Alice Wells confirmed on Monday that senior US and Pakistani officials will hold a series of meetings in Washington and Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua will lead the Pakistani delegation.
“We’re certainly not walking away from Pakistan. There will be very intensive dialogue through both our military and our civilian channels to discuss how we can work together,” Ms Wells said and declared that Pakistan had an important role to play in stabilizing Afghanistan.
Contrary to the popular perception that the suspension of aid to Pakistan would be effective, the US official conceded that the suspension of US security aid to Pakistan had failed to force Islamabad to change its policies.
"We’ve not seen decisive and sustained changes yet in Pakistan’s behavior, but certainly, we are continuing to engage with Pakistan over areas where we think they can play a helpful role in changing the calculus of the Taliban," said Wells.
It bears mentioning that Secretary Janjua headed to Washington on a crucial visit earlier this week to mend the frayed relations between the allies.
Ms Wells said that at the State Department, Secretary Janjua will meet Deputy Secretary John Sullivan, dismissing earlier speculations that the visitors may only meet junior level officials.
Last week, a senior director for South and Central Asia at the White House National Security Council, Lisa Curtis, visited Islamabad to discuss the bilateral issue and Pakistan's efforts against terrorism.
Taliban Urged to Engage in Peace Talks
Alice Wells told reporters she had been struck by Ghani’s proposal regarding peace talks with Taliban, to let them open office in Kabul.
“I heard him offering a dignified process,” she said.

Most closed-cell spray foam is now formed using hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blowing agents that have high global warming potential, partially or completely offsetting the climate benefits of the energy savings they can offer. In the United States, HFCs are scheduled to be phased out by January, 2021. A few spray foam suppliers have started supplying spray foam blown with hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) blowing agents without this problem as of early 2017.
Spray Foam Metal Building
I don't even want to ask this question but... several years ago we hired a local contractor to spray high density foam on the roof deck and walls of our unfinished 2nd floor. We realized that the job was done poorly and cut an access into the attic space to assess things. We realize now that they spray foamed directly to the chimney (no flashing). The chimney is currently used for a woodstove and DHW venting. The DHW will go away but wood stove will remain. My question is, how bad (unsafe) is this? I have found information on foam exposure to fire but have not been able to find anything about temperature ratings in general (i.e. what happens on prolonged exposure to high temperatures).
Sporadic cases of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) have also been reported in workers exposed to isocyanates. The symptoms may seem like the flu, with fever, muscle aches, and headaches. Other symptoms may include a dry cough, chest tightness, and difficult breathing. Individuals with chronic HP often experience progressively more difficult breathing, fatigue, and weight loss. Individuals with acute HP typically develop symptoms 4–6 hours after exposure.
How Much Is Spray Foam Insulation For Attic
Light-density open-cell SPF is commonly known as half-pound foam. It is a semi-rigid material with a sponge-like appearance that expands during installation and creates small, open cells that are filled with carbon dioxide. Due to its ability to expand during the application process, it fills cracks, crevices and voids and adheres to irregular surfaces or substrates to form an air sealing insulation.
Empire Spray Foam is conveniently located in North Texas and proudly serves the Tarrant, Dallas, Denton, Wise, Parker, Hood, Johnson, Ellis, Kaufman, Rockwall, and Collin Counties with high quality spray foam and coatings designed to meet the needs of homeowners and businesses.

This high R-value of 4.45 at 1 inch, polyurethane insulation expands to seal cracks, gaps, and voids in attics, walls, crawl spaces, and ceilings. Agribalance is a three-quarter pound density foam that reduces air leakage by improving energy efficiency, and reducing moisture intrusion and outside contaminants such as dust, dirt, and allergens. As a result, builders can generally install smaller, more energy-efficient HVAC systems and achieve similar, or superior comfort compared to traditionally insulated structures which require a larger, less efficient HVAC system – resulting in higher energy costs.
United Coatings™ Roof Coat Elastomeric Coating is an effective coating for providing long-term reflectivity over a wide range of roofing substrates. The high reflectivity of Roof Coat Elastomeric Coating keeps the roof substrate cool, which not only helps prolong its longevity but also helps save on energy costs. Roof Coat Elastomeric Coating’s rich consistency uniformly covers the textured profile of various substrates, forming a flexible monolithic membrane that provides protection from normal weathering, aging, and ultraviolet exposure.
How Much For Spray Foam Insulation In Attic
Installing spray foam is easy to do and can dramatically improve a building or home’s energy efficiency and thermal resistance. Our closed cell foam is so efficient just 3 inches of foam appled inside of wall cavities provides an insulation value of over R18!. Our products are specially formulated for both new construction and existing homes and buildings.
once the foam is installed correctly, it is a inert plastic not much different than the foam cushions you sit on. there is not a health rick unless you have off ratio uncured foam that has not mixed properly. the foam is absolutely a health risk in its raw forms before it is mixed and cured. You should not be in the building without proper respirators and eye protection. The spray foam industry should be controlled and regulated by the same standards, testing and inspections that framing ,electrical and plumbing are. until that happens then you will have idiots with spray rigs ruining peoples homes and ruining the market for honest foam contractors that know how to price a job fairly and complete it correctly.
I don't know if it's common or uncommon, but installing a layer of rigid foam above your roof sheathing in order to interrupt thermal bridging is always a good idea, and is preferable in all respects to a roof assembly without any rigid foam above the sheathing. If you decide to install rigid foam above the roof sheathing, you shouldn't use closed-cell spray foam under the sheathing; either use open-cell spray foam (which is vapor-permeable) or a fluffy insulation like cellulose, mineral wool, or fiberglass (any of which will allow the roof sheathing to dry to the interior).
Open-cell is also known as half-pound foam. It has an R-Value of 3.5-3.6 per inch, and its density is bout 0.5 pounds per cubic food. Low-density foams like these are made partially from raw biological materials Carbon dioxide or water is also used in the makeup. Open-cell uses far less material than closed-cell, but its R-Value is lower. Also, open cell requires a vapor retarder (like gypsum wallboard) and is riskier when used for roof sheathing. It's not highly recommended that you use open-cell insulation if you live in a cold climate unless you have that extra barrier. You should also compare how much money you spend versus how effective the open-cell insulation is wherever it's installed.

We have a 1950's ranch in Atlanta and are interviewing foam contractors to spray open cell under the roof, with an "ankle wall" out towards the eaves to seal the attic. My wife and daughters are chemically sensitive, so I'm trying to figure out how to minimize the fumes coming into the house. Additionally, at least one contractor has offered (for > $900) to remove our existing rock wool & R-13 fibreglass from the attic floor to "increase cross-ventilation into the attic". Seems to me I can't both minimize fumes AND increase cross-ventilation. They also offered to spray a fire-retardant on for >$600. Would ventilation during installation help any or woud the retardant seal off the foam and help that way? Thanks...
Thoroughly clean the roof surface. Roofs collect oils from asphalt, chimneys, and cars plus lots of dirt and dust. Coatings don’t stick well to any of these. We recommend cleaning with an inexpensive solution of TSP or TSP Substitute in a bucket of water (follow label instructions). Use a broom to scrub ponding areas and areas of peeling coatings. Work a section at a time and hose off the dirty water. Sweep away puddles to promote drying. Do not allow wash water to dry on walls, furniture, windows, and visible surfaces.

Leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Universities of Ibadan, UI chapter, have cried out over threat to their lives.
The chairman of the UI ASUU chapter, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, in a press release titled “ASUU strike, Union leaders go underground,” said he had received calls warning him about his role in the strike.
He revealed that many of the union leaders’ telephone lines have been bugged, and now some of the striking lecturers live in fear of the unknown.
“Apart from the issue of finance, ASUU leaders are now being trailed all over the place. The majority of our union leaders have gone underground while many have their telephone lines bugged. Some are now living in fear for their lives,” Ajiboye said.
In a related development, the Faculty of Law at the University of Ibadan has defied the ongoing strike to conduct examination for its final year students.
The faculty insisted that the university needs to meet up with the Law School calendar.
Speaking about this development, Ajiboye said the university should have waited till the end of the strike before conducting the examination.
“We would appraise the situation after the strike and take appropriate action against erring members,” he said.
ASUU commenced the strike on 1 July, 2013 which has paralysed academic activities in Federal Government owned universities across the country.
The Federal Government and ASUU have been involved in a protracted negotiation for the past three months yet they have not reached a compromise to end the strike.

Worked great on my gas tank. Gave my knees something to grip.
On an unsupported solo camping trip on my Ural Tourist I made a midnight ride to the "bathhouse" to..... Well in the AM the bike just wouldn't run smoothly. After a brief inspection I saw that I had kicked the right carb and the rubber on the carb mount had split. I found a guy in a very old RV that had a bit of dried up Permatex. So I cut the seam on the bottom of my T shirt, squished the sealer into it, then removed the clamp wrapped the bandage around the compliance boot let it dry, it ran fine for the next 600 miles till I could get home and replace the rubber flange. Carry a spare now....
Came across a guy stranded on the roadside one evening. I was in my car, He was standing next to an older BMW airhead. I stopped to see what was wrong. Out of gas. Angry at himself for having the petcock on reserve all the while so he'd screwed himself out of getting the last few miles to get to a station. His bike was set up like my own with one petcock on the left hand side. There was a ditch next to the road. I wheeled the bike parallel to and on the edge of the ditch and told him that between the two of us we were going to tip the one third of a gallon of gas remaining in the right tank saddle into the left. Besides being quicker and easier than scrounging around for a siphon tube of some sort or removing the tank and wrangling with the fuel lines it just felt more 'macgyver'. Not particularly brilliant but it worked and he'd never even realized that gas was in there. Got him back on the road and pretty surely to a station.
That's the Reserve Reserve, KLR riders know all about it
Maybe not a McGyver moment but I had to torque a crankshaft bolt on my Grand National to 310 lb-ft. with no way to keep the motor from turning.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Didnt want to risk stuffing rope into a cylinder to lock the motor. First tried to use a piece of 1 dia EMT pipe with the end notched and wedged between one harmonic balancer bolt and the floor.
Lifted the car up off of both jack stands with torque wrench, cold sweat emerged when one of them shifted out of place, managed to kick it back in place and let car down since I was on a creeper under the car at the time.
Waited for heart rate to drop below 100 then looked for some wire rope, ran it through a hole in the harmonic balancer and tied it to the frame, was able to torque the bolt no problem.<o></o>
Ive been home on vacation this week sick as a dog, but am now fully prepared to fix absolutely anything, since I have read every post in this great thread.
Keep it going.
This morning my kitchen smelled like a toxic chemical dump. WTF? Really nasty rubber chemical burning dioxin yada yada.
I followed it to the back of the fridge. The compressor was trying to start and not having any of it. I removed the starter relay and starter cap and diassembled. Plastic was burned inside right next to a thermistor chip about the size of a nickel. Thermistor chip was shattered (due to heat and age) and the chips and debris were causing its spring loaded holder arms to short. Thermistor is used as a primitive but generally reliable relay. Closed circuit when cold, open when hot. Starts the run capacitor/starter windings when energized, heats up to open circuit within a quarter of a sec, then blocks current to the starter windings. Thermistor was broken up into three large pieces and a bunch of dust. Realized I had to get a new starter relay at the very least to save a fridge full of food until the part could be had.
Studied up on the web what was happening and a blog described the exact same predicament. A TRUE Macgyver hero on the board suggested his own fix that worked for him. It should have been obvious but I just wasn't thinking in Macgyver mode (no coffee yet). Just clean out the arc causing debris and reinsert the largest of the broken pieces of thermistor between the holder arms. A thermistor piece has pretty much the same resistance curve as the whole. Voila!!! It worked beautifully. I'll only run it while in the house so that I can keep an eye on it and unplug it while sleeping. It would probably run trouble free for another 5 years like this but until I can get the replacement relay or, more likely, replace this 10 year old Gibson, my food wont spoil!!!!
The mother of invention may be laziness, but also a good portion of determined thrift. The part at the local appliance store was 75 dollars and a few days' wait. Figured I'd just use my rigged one as is until I buy a new fridge.
On a whim I stopped at the scrap yard on the drive back and looked at the dozen or so fridges on the lot. The relay is just a snap-in that's exposed in the back of the fridge.. 15 second removal tops. There were two of them with identical part numbers heading for the heap. I snapped them off and gave the attendant a buck for them.
Snapped one in when I got home and all is golden. Good for another few years anyway.
If you ever strip a screw you can use match sticks to put in the hole and put the screw back in until you can fix it properly. Used this just the other day on my boat on a carpet cleat that came out of the fiberglass.
I stripped the head of the allen cap screw that holds the battery into the back of my garmin zumo 450. luckily I was still able to apply enough down pressure and catch enough of a bite on it to it to get it out , then wrapped the threads in electrical tape to protect them while I put it in the bench vise and used the edge of a thin small file to make one slit across , basically turning the stripped allen head cap screw into a flat head screw that i can now get in and out with a common flat head screw driver , or tip of a pocket knife.
on a side note , the head was recessed in the plastic of the battery , but in other cases when you have stripped the head of a screw, bolt etc and if you can access the head you can use a dremmel, hack saw, or file to make a slit and use a flat head screwdriver to back out the fastener with the stripped head .
Heat shrink works well to keep shoe string ends from unraveling as well. That cheap crap little plastic OEM shoe string end protector just does not cut it.
Or better yet, don't have any keys except the bikes ignition key on the ring. This way you don't have to worry at all about scratches...
My oldest son borrowed my cruiser for a few months. He put the single key I handed him on a ring with a bunch of other keys. When he brought the bike back the triple tree was, IMNSHO, ruined. I'm not worried, I hid his body very well!
Got a flat tire on the new to me beemer and pulled out the plug kit to find the glue to be a block and the fancy BMW plugs rotted and falling apart when going thru the tire, rummaged through the tank bag and pockets and found a rubber band used for stowing lines on the deployment of most sport parachutes. Inserted it easily into the tire cut off the excess and after a couple of shots of CO2 and was back on the road home. Macgyver would have been proud. A nice ball of rubberband now resides in the tool pouch

<BR>The rubber band tire plug is a neat trick, Davemon!
While at the first reset of a national enduro several years ago, Steve Hatch looked down at my bike and asked "where is your drain plug?" I looked down and realized that when I had put my ktm 300 motor back together before the race, I had not tightend down my drain plug. it was only finger tight. :huh
No oil was coming out of the tranny cases at all so I had lost all of the oil. worse, the biggest bolt I had was a 10mm and the hole is a 12mm. I had not noticed any running problems so far but we were only about 12 miles into the race. I wrapped some electical tape around the 10mm bolt and stuffed it into the 12mm hole. That seemed to work.
Now that I have the hole plugged, what do I fill it with? I had a tool belt and the original camelbak but niether contained any spare oil. That is not something you would normally carry during a race. I knew there would be a gas stop sooner or later and I could go back to my truck and fill it up with oil then but that does not solve the problem of riding 25 to 40 more miles with no oil in the tranny cases. I contemplated removing the oil from one of the front forks but that would destroy the action and no longer allow me to continue racing.
The only other liquids were gas/oil mix from the tank, or the orange gatorade in the camelback. Since I did not have any idea where the first gas stop was, I did not want to use the gas, I poured the gatorade into the tranny. The plug held with no leaks and the motor fired up. (the tranny oil is separate on a two stroke). I gingerly put it into gear and rode off. I took it easy and did not change gears and did not use the clutch. I noticed no problems with the tranny. After 20 miles or so I came to a check with an alternate gas stop. One of the national guys gave me a bottle of tranny oil but no one had a spare drain plug. A factory KTM rider offered me one at the known gas stop so on I went. This time with fresh real oil in the tranny but a taped in oil plug. I pushed it hard and made up lots of time till the gas stop. I got the spare plug from the KTM van (thanks guys) and managed to finish 4th in my class.
After the race, I tore down the motor and split the cases. I could find nothing wrong with any bearing, gear or clutch. I replaced the bearings anyway.
Gatorade as tranny fluid? sure if you have nothing else.
...more tips&tricks than Macgyver, but if you ever need to hold threads really really steady in a vise then cut a slot in a nut, thread it onto the bolt/rod/stud and then clamp it up to your heart's content.
Prevents damage to the threads.
It's also a handy way to remove a stubborn stud from a block or case without damage when using vise grips.
^^ Good one, Thanks! ^^
long ago I did not have a compressor,changed a tubeless tire on my MC and could not get the bead to even begin to seat well enough to hold air using a manual floor pump....but had two floor pumps on hand, pulled the air chucks off and connected them with a hose, then connected one to the MC wheel and the other to a tire on my car....this flowed enough air to get the bead to begin seating on the MC wheel, pulled the chucks off and then was able to pump the MC and car tires up to rated pressure with the floor pump.
You know they have ground penetrating Radar now. They will find him if they are looking.

A sheriff’s detective testified Monday that an investigation into the death of a 24-year-old Fallbrook man led to a motel room where the victim’s blood was found in the carpet and on walls.
Homicide Detective David Hillen is the lead investigator in the case involving Alvin Bulaoro, an Army reservist whose body was found Jan. 3 in a Toyota SUV in a grocery store parking lot in Fallbrook.
The body was zipped into a sleeping bag.
Hillen testified during a hearing in Vista Superior Court that he looked at purchasing information related to the sleeping bag and a cellphone used to contact Bulaoro in December, around the time he was last seen by his family. That led to credit card information pointing to Cpl. Kevin Albert Coset, a Camp Pendleton Marine.
Hillen said the same credit card used to buy the sleeping bag was used to pay for a room at the Fallbrook Country Inn, where employees said they found a pool of blood in one of the rooms.
Although the room had been cleaned several times, investigators found stains underneath the carpet and on two walls. They determined that the blood matched Bulaoro’s DNA profile.
The detective was the first witness at a preliminary hearing for Coset, who is accused of murder in connection with Bulaoro’s death. Authorities arrested Coset on Feb. 22.
Judge Richard Mills decided at the end of the daylong preliminary hearing that there was sufficient evidence for Coset to face murder and knife- and gun-use allegations.
Mills also allowed a special-circumstance allegation of lying in wait to go forward, which could make this a death penalty case. Prosecutors have not said whether they will seek Coset’s execution or life in prison without parole if he is convicted.
When questioned by a defense attorney, Hillen said that no physical evidence linked to Coset was found in the motel room.
However, the detective said, investigators learned that the phone used to send text messages to Bulaoro shortly before he went missing was purchased at a Radio Shack in Oceanside. A store employee was able to identify Coset in a photo lineup.
Investigators searched Coset’s Camp Pendleton barracks and car and found several firearms. His 2007 Scion also looked similar to a car seen in video recorded in the parking lot where the body was found.
Deputy Medical Examiner Craig Nelson testified that Bulaoro had been stabbed multiple times and shot twice in his head. He is believed to have died around Dec. 21.
Special Agent Jeff Kierman of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service testified that video shows a man, later identified as Coset, buying a sleeping bag at a military exchange. It was the same make and model that Bulaoro’s body was found in, Kierman said.

Kroger expands ground beef recall to Colorado
Vail, CO Colorado
CINCINNATI ” The Kroger Co. expanded its voluntary recall of some ground beef products beyond stores in Michigan and parts of Ohio to its stores in more than 20 states on Wednesday.
The nation’s biggest traditional grocer also urged customers to check the ground beef in their refrigerators and freezers for the date by which the product must be sold.
Meat obtained from one of Kroger’s suppliers, Nebraska Beef Ltd., has been linked to illness reported in Michigan and Ohio between May 31 and June 8 caused by the E. coli bacteria.
Nebraska Beef has recalled from wholesalers and other processing companies nearly 532,000 pounds of ground beef produced on five dates between May 16 and June 24.
Kroger said Wednesday that as a precaution it had removed ground beef supplied by Nebraska Beef from its stores, and is expanding the recall to its stores in more than 20 states.
Participate in The Longevity Project
The Longevity Project is an annual campaign to help educate readers about what it takes to live a long, fulfilling life in our valley. This year Kevin shares his story of hope and celebration of life with his presentation Cracked, Not Broken as we explore the critical and relevant topic of mental health.
“Ground beef in stores today comes from other suppliers not involved in the recall,” Kroger spokeswoman Meghan Glynn said Wednesday.
The Cincinnati-based company advised customers to look for “sell buy” dates from mid-May through early July on most ground beef products they have previously purchased from its stores and return them.
Kroger initiated the recall June 25 for Kroger stores in Michigan and in central and northern Ohio. The expanded recall includes ground beef sold at Fred Meyer, QFC, Ralphs, Smith’s, Baker’s, King Soopers, City Markets, Hilander, Owen’s, Pay Less and Scott’s in more than 20 states as well.
In Colorado, no contaminated meat every made it to store shelves, said state health department spokeswoman Lori Maldonado. Some contaminated meat was found at a Kroger processing plant in Colorado but it was destroyed and was never sent to stores, she said.
In some stores, the recall includes products in Styrofoam tray packages wrapped in clear cellophane or purchased from an in-store service counter. It does not include ground beef sold in sealed tubes in one, three or five-pound packages and frozen ground beef patties sold in the frozen food section of its stores.
Kroger is notifying customers about the expanded recall by placing signs in stores in meat departments. It also is using its register receipt notification system.
Symptoms of E. coli infection can include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting and fever. Most people recover within 5 to 7 days.
Health officials urge people to thoroughly cook hamburger and, if possible, use a digital thermometer to make sure meat has been heated to at least 160 degrees.
They also recommend that people wash their hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food.
Consumers who have questions about the recall may contact Kroger toll-free at (800) 632-6900 or online at http://www.kroger.com/recalls.

Birth of public opinion research in Slovakia: Institutional and political contexts
Before 1990 in the history of Slovakia, there were more of workplaces that carried out sample surveys on a representative sample of the Slovak population. From the first post-war years they focused on one of the key components of such research – public opinion research. Almost the entire history of public opinion research in Slovakia is connected with the workplaces belonging to the state authorities. The study is devoted to the description of the existence of the first institution for public opinion research in Slovakia – The Institute for Public Opinion Research, which existed as a department under the Commissionership of Information in Bratislava in 1947 – 1950. In describing the circumstances of its establishment, it also indicates the background of the establishment of the Czechoslovak Institute for Public Opinion Research, operating under the Ministry of Information in Prague between 1946 and 1950.

Corruption — Warlock Card
Table of Contents
Corruption is a Warlock-only spell. 2 copies of this card are given to you when you reach Level 2 with Warlock. Later, when you reach Level 32 and 34 with that class, you get a golden version of this card. Below the card images, you will find explanations to help you use the card optimally in every game mode of Hearthstone.
Corruption is an extremely situational card. Although in the perfect scenario, it can be excellent, usually your opponent will be able to get value out of the minion you cast it on before it is destroyed, making it a waste of a card.
Corruption is a card that you should never consider putting in your deck deliberately. However, it can still have an impact on Constructed. Due to its situational nature, it is sometimes correct to pick this card from a Dark Peddler.
Corruption is a very poor card in Arena and should generally never be considered. As in Constructed, though, there are situations when it will be excellent from a Dark Peddler.

I don’t like being told what to do. I’m not sure if it’s something instinctive or a habit I picked up after getting picked on, but my issues with authority are something I manage on a daily basis, even as I try to foster them towards constructive ends.
That’s why I bristle at all the demands that I vote being made as the election cycle spirals ever downward. But something bigger has always struck me about the hollowness of those demands, about the soullessness of the get-out-the-vote efforts that characterize these cycles. What if the reason these requests feel so empty is because the people making them don’t really want us to vote?
There has long been a space between what I want to see change about our world and what I believe voting can accomplish, especially in presidential elections, but 2020 has heightened this. Right now, I see my political values reflected more in eviction blockades than anything coming from a presidential campaign.
Given that, the insistent pleas for voting, the rhapsodic waxing about playing your civic role in our democracy, the nude celebrities — they grind on me, especially as a part of a demographic that has made clear its engagement with electoral politics is quite low. As we saw in the first four and Super Tuesday 2020 Democratic primaries, there haven’t been enough young people turning out to exert electoral influence.
NBC News exit polling from 2008 found that voters ages 18-29 were 18% of the national electorate in the presidential election that year, leading the high under-30 turnout to be considered a key plank of the winning Obama coalition. In CNN exit polls from this year’s Democratic primaries, the under-30 crowd was only 13% of the electorate on Super Tuesday, the day that made it clear Joe Biden would likely become the nominee. As explored by NPR, Barack Obama’s support from the under-30 vote didn’t all carry over to 2016 for Hillary Clinton. Biden has youth support, but we don’t know yet if it’ll translate to turnout substantial enough to swing the election in any of the key states the election could hinge on.
So yes, many Democrats would like it if people under 30 voted for their candidate in this election, but they’re not going to prioritize a demographic with low turnout. And often, young people’s ability to vote isn’t really determined by Democrats — it’s determined by laws and agencies at the state and local levels. That means if your state, city, or county has GOP leadership, they might actually be the ones determining how easy it is to cast your ballot.
Regardless of party, state election authorities determine all kinds of things about how you vote, like your voter registration window, for example. (You can find out if you can still register here; some states let you register in-person on Election Day.) They also manage the infrastructure and there can always be technical mishaps with everything from online registration to the envelopes that come with your absentee ballot.
Whether or not people want you to support their candidate, the election infrastructure elected officials have provided for can only be described as a national disgrace. Sometimes, the bureaucracy of elections can feel intentionally discouraging, whether it’s in the form of confusing bureaucracy or long lines to wait in. On top of that, voter suppression is real. There are powerful forces that work to make voting more difficult and college towns are one of their favorite targets.
Sometimes, it feels like the difference between Democrats and Republicans is the difference between apathy and open antagonism to the simple act of someone like me voting. It makes a lot of sense when you consider that young people don’t have wealth that might translate into campaign donations. A generational wealth gap is overlaid on top of historical racial wealth gaps for generations that are more racially diverse and on top of historical gender pay gaps for generations of women more likely to join the workforce.
That complex tapestry of economic screwjobs is part of why I was so alarmed in June 2019 when Biden told a Manhattan fundraiser full of wealthy donors that “nothing would fundamentally change” if he became president. That’s a disturbing message for generations of people whose entire lives have been defined by economic recessions, climate disasters, forever wars, and other American nightmares.
That’s also why one of the most concerning outcomes of Trump’s personal bout with COVID-19 is his newly invigorated insistence on a herd immunity strategy. As the New York Times reported this week, the White House is now touting a pandemic strategy that would allow the novel coronavirus to spread among young healthy people in an effort to achieve herd immunity. If we did reach that point, it would mean all the young people stuck in jobs they hate, struggling to make rent but unable to afford homeownership, go back to work and try to scrape by. In other words, nothing would fundamentally change — except the presence of the virus.
What’s clear is that a great many things need to change — and quickly — for the sake of both basic human decency and life on this planet. Very few of those changes, unfortunately, are really on the ballot this year. We have a choice between reinvigorating a rapidly deteriorating neoliberal status quo or enabling an acceleration of our apparent descent into full-on fascism. That it’s even come to this is a sign of how f*cked we are.
So, why vote? Why uphold an obviously broken system, perpetuate a colonial empire founded on stolen land and built by stolen people? That’s the question that’s been eating at me for over a year now and I would never admonish anyone who doesn’t want any part of it. There are a million other ways to engage politically, to manifest your values in the material world.
I don’t want to be dismissive; there are real policy stakes in this election. But for me, one of the most compelling reasons to vote is the fact that it’s much easier for everyone in power if I don’t. Some Republicans’ recent insistence that we’re a republic, not a democracy, is more than just an argument about the two parties’ names. It’s a reminder that like nearly every other value this country has ever claimed to uphold, many of us are at best striving toward true democracy, even as people in power actively work to prevent that ideal from being realized.
Now, we have an authoritarian strongman at the helm. He is already seemingly scheming on how to win any legal challenges that might stem from the election, even as vigilante forces rally to his cause in the streets. A serious show of small-d democratic force at the ballot box in this election is a valuable demonstration of an appetite for elections.
It’s also a validation of the legitimacy of the government that’s elected and that’s why even people who don’t care about your future want you to vote for them. Elections are a legitimizing force for power and they’re easier to manage when fewer people vote. Nothing should ever be easy for the people in power, especially not validating their own authority.
We may not have a true democracy right now, but we should still show the powerful people uninvested in supporting elections or invested in ruining them that we want one. It’s not a panacea for everything that’s wrong with this world or even an effective bandage for much of the pain and injury people suffer every day. But voting in the U.S. is a chance to say that I care about what happens to my neighbors, to my family, and to people all over the world. It’s one way to do that and not always an easy one, but it’s something I’ll do even if it’s just to stick it to everyone who doesn’t want me to.

M.I.L.F delivers more of their artistically signature crassness on “The Player Haters Ball.” As a follow up to “10 Beers Deep,” TPHB is the second project in merely a month, quickly growing the catalogue of the DC collective. Avi, Phlegm, Sleaz, Tedy, and Mitch offer organically brash sonics, combining elements of archaic gangster rap with slow flow melodies consistent with Hip-Hop’s wave of digital trap ethics. TPHB embodies an aesthetic that Hip-Hop is lacking; A counter-cultue attitude that muddies the line between overt vulgarity and musical ingenuity. Harder cuts like “Gimme Head” and “Ran Through” lend way to softer melodies like Sleaz’s “Fuckwidme,” which chronicles a vibrant, intrinsically softer side to the trap. M.I.L.F’s 11-record project plants a much needed abrasiveness back into music. Welcome to “The Player Haters Ball;” Proceed with caution.

With confidence in his voice, Ryan Pace said he believed the Chicago Bears could rebuild their group of wide receivers quickly.
That was at the 2018 scouting combine after Kendall Wright and Josh Bellamy were the biggest producers at the position the season before. A couple of weeks later, Pace landed Allen Robinson in free agency. Pace’s other moves produced place holders, but the emergence of rookie Darnell Mooney this season provides hope.
Pace will need a similar sense of urgency — and perhaps an improved strike ratio — to overhaul the offensive line in the offseason ahead, something that was readily apparent before a series of misfortunes arrived this week that will leave the Bears down at least three and possibly four starters for their game Sunday against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium.
The Bears need to retain Robinson, almost certainly will have to take a hard look at the quarterback position unless Nick Foles plays significantly better in the final eight games and do some heavy lifting on the offensive line. That’s just the beginning of what the offseason to-do list will look like, and upgrades for the trenches could be Pace’s top priority.
It’s a “chicken or the egg” discussion — which came first — when it comes to quarterback development and a quality offensive line, but those saying the Bears have failed to produce a franchise passer for the seven decades since Sid Luckman retired because of anything related to line play are obscuring the fact the organization has flat-out bungled chance after chance regarding quarterbacks. The offensive line wasn’t the Mitch Trubisky’s downfall and didn’t prevent Jay Cutler from ever getting off the roller coaster of uneven play.
Pace needs to introduce change up front for 2021, probably involving multiple positions. The approach this season was that new line coach Juan Castillo would make the biggest difference, considering personnel moves constituted the signing of right guard Germain Ifedi and swing tackle Jason Spriggs to minimum one-year deals and using two seventh-round picks on developmental players Arlington Hambright and Lachavious Simmons.
It’s not as if Pace has ignored the line in the draft. Seven of his 39 draft picks in six years have been linemen. Three picks have come in the top-three rounds — Cody Whitehair and James Daniels were second-round picks and center Hroniss Grasu was a third-round pick. It’s important to remember Pace has been short-handed with draft capital the last two years as result of the Khalil Mack trade.
What the Bears have not done is draft an offensive tackle high in the draft. Right tackle Bobby Massie, who is out more than a month with a left knee injury, was signed in free agency and is on his second contract with the Bears, and left tackle Charles Leno was a seventh-round find by former GM Phil Emery.
It’s instructive to look at the 11-year run Jerry Angelo had with the Bears from 2001-11. He had a 95-81 record with four playoff appearances and was fired a season after reaching the NFC championship game. Ultimately, Angelo’s undoing was the decay of a dominant offensive line the organization built in the runup to Super Bowl XLI.
As those players aged and began to decline, the Bears didn’t have any young linemen in the pipeline who could step in and p,erform at a high level. They drafted offensive tackle Chris Williams in the first round in 2008; he had a bad back and never became a top-tier player. They selected Gabe Carimi with the 29th pick in 2011, and he was quickly injured and then gone.
The line fell apart, the offense struggled and Angelo wound up paying for it with his job. But the clues to the issues date to the beginning of his tenure and the failure to feed the offensive line. During a five-year span of drafts from 2003-07, the Bears used one pick higher than a sixth-rounder on an offensive lineman. That was undersized guard Josh Beekman, a fourth-rounder in 2007. The steady group of veteran linemen, most acquired in shrewd free-agent moves with the exception of center Olin Kreutz, aged together. And when it came time to turn the thing over, Williams and Carimi couldn’t anchor it.
Pace has been driven to build his defense and maintain a strength on that side of the ball while also trying to find playmakers on offense. Now the line is struggling, and the Bears will enter an offseason needing to piece together talent in free agency and the draft. Unless Pace is in position to select a quarterback in the first round, it’s a good bet he goes with an offensive lineman.
The Bears are in a predicament Sunday against the Titans. Massie and Daniels are out with injuries, Whitehair has a calf injury and has tested positive for COVID-19, as has Spriggs.Ifedi self-quarantined because of close contact with Spriggs, but the Bears announced Friday morning that he was cleared to return. Sam Mustipher, Whitehair’s replacement, is out with a knee injury.
That leaves Leno at left tackle, Hambright expected to start at left guard, Alex Bars at center, Ifedi at right guard and Rashaad Coward moving from right guard to right tackle. The good news for the Bears is the Titans struggle mightily to rush the quarterback, and high-dollar addition Jadeveon Clowney, who has three sacks in his last 21 games, could miss the matchup with a knee injury. On the flip side, the Titans have to view the chance to get after immobile Nick Foles as a rare opportunity to win up front.
Castillo cross-trained many of his linemen during training camp, so Coward got work at right tackle in practice. The wild card is Bars, who didn’t play center at Notre Dame. He was the backup to Mustipher on Sunday, so the coaching staff must be sufficiently confident he can snap the ball well enough to avoid disaster, otherwise they would consider one of the practice-squad options at center.
It’s suboptimal, no question, but the only way to find out if Hambright and some of these other young players have potential is to judge them in game action. The Bears would prefer that to be in preseason games, but here they are, entering Week 9 in the middle of a pandemic, and it’s next man up.
Maybe there will be a positive to take away from the experience, as challenging as it will be, but when the season is over, Pace needs to look at his offensive line, consider his options and say with assurance it can be revamped in short order.
Ryan Tannehill, Titans quarterback
Information for this report was obtained from NFL scouts.
Ryan Tannehill, 6-4, 216 pounds, is in his ninth season and second with the Titans after he was acquired along with a sixth-round pick from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a 2019 seventh-round pick and a 2020 fourth-round pick.
The deal turned into a slam dunk for the Titans. Tannehill replaced Marcus Mariota as the starter last season and helped guide the team to the playoffs, earning a four-year, $118 million contract. Tannehill is completing 67.4% of his passes for 1,823 yards with 17 touchdowns and three interceptions for a 109.8 rating. His passer rating in the red zone is 115.1, and the Titans are second in the NFL in the red zone, scoring a touchdown 79.8% of the time, pitting a strength against what the Bears defend very well, ranking No. 1.
“Miami basically gave him away because he didn’t fit in the offense and was wasn’t an efficient passer,” the scout said. "But look at what he’s done going back to the middle of last season to now. He’s in a very defined system, and when Tannehill can throw the ball off play-action, stick that back foot in the ground and drive the ball, he’s really good. He’s been playing with extreme confidence and winning with ball location. The Titans are doing an excellent job of scheming up throws for him. He can throw crossers, deep-ins, and they will scheme up shot plays for him for opportunities downfield. Off of that, he has good second-reaction ability, and where that shows up is in the red zone because that is where they start to move him more off of boot and play-action because it is a true run/pass option for him because he can still run. Remember, he started in college as a wide receiver.
“That’s why Tennessee is one of the top red-zone offenses in the league, the play-action and Tannehill’s movement ability paired with Derrick Henry as a north-south runner. Where he can struggle is when he’s asked to be a volume thrower and when he’s asked to be in the shotgun on third-and-7, third-and-10, that limits him as a thrower. But when they are ahead of the sticks and controlling game flow, he can get in a rhythm and that boosts his efficiency. Like any run-heavy offense in the NFL, when they get behind the sticks and are behind multiple scores, they can’t be as defined as a passing offense. What the Bears have to do is win on first down and keep him and that offense off-balance.”

The season will open Sept. 18 with an indoor concert at the Vernon Cook Theater at Clinton High School.
Music Director and Conductor Brian Dollinger, who plays double bass, will be joined by Western Illinois University faculty violist Istvan Szabo in “Sinfonia Concertante for Double Bass and Viola” by Dittersdorf.
Szabo will be the soloist in “Fantasie for Viola & Orchestra” by Hummel, and Gluck’s “Dance of the Furies” from his opera Orpheus and Eurydice; Mozart’s “Divertimento in D Major” will wrap up the concert.
The 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, a celebration interrupted by COVID-19, will be observed in a concert Nov. 6 at Centennial Auditorium in Sterling.
The annual Holiday Concert, featuring music of the season, will be performed Dec. 11 back at Vernon Cook Theater, and chamber music is on tap Jan. 16 at Zion Lutheran Church in Clinton.
The February concert will feature the annual “Young Artist” performance; this year’s high school soloist will be chosen after auditions in January, and will perform with the orchestra at 2 p.m. Feb. 19 in the Morrison High School auditorium.
To finish the indoor concert season, on April 30 in Vernon Cook Theater, the orchestra will perform a program intended for April of last year, featuring violinist Naha Greenholtz, concertmaster of the Quad City Symphony.
Adult admission is $20; all students are admitted free of charge, and any student 18 or younger may bring an adult for half-price admission.
Season tickets for all six concerts are available at clintonsymphony.org or at the door of the first concert for $90, a 25% savings over the full individual concert price.

There is a worrying decline in the mental and physical health of recent generations as compared to their parents and grandparents when they were of the same age, a new national study reveals.
The researchers showed that compared to previous generations, members of Generation X and Generation Y showed poorer physical health, higher levels of unhealthy behaviour such as alcohol use and smoking, and more depression and anxiety.
According to the lead researcher, Hui Zheng from The Ohio State University, the results suggest the likelihood of higher levels of diseases and more deaths in younger generations than seen in the past.
"The worsening health profiles we found in Gen X and Gen Y is alarming," Zheng said.
"If we don't find a way to slow this trend, we are potentially going to see an expansion of morbidity and mortality rates in the United States as these generations get older," Zheng added.
For the study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, the team examined used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1988-2016 (62,833 respondents) and the National Health Interview Survey 1997-2018 (625,221 respondents), both conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics.
They also used one marker of chronic inflammation, low urinary albumin, and one additional marker of renal function, creatinine clearance.
The researchers found that the measures of physical health have worsened from the Baby Boomer generation through Gen X (born 1965-80) and Gen Y (born 1981-99).
"The declining health trends in recent generations is a shocking finding. It suggests we may have a challenging health prospect in the US in coming years," Zheng said.
Zheng said it is beyond the scope of the study to comprehensively explain the reasons behind the health decline. But the researchers did check two factors. They found smoking couldn't explain the decline. Obesity could help explain the increase in metabolic syndrome, but not the increases seen in chronic inflammation.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often a life-long condition that can radically affect the sufferer’s impulses. A person struggling with OCD will experience involuntary, unrelenting thoughts or behaviors that they feel compelled to repeat continuously (obsessions and compulsions).
Symptoms of OCD can be disruptive and often worsen during periods of heightened stress. However, OCD is highly treatable with treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In addition to CBT, many people successfully manage their symptoms with lifestyle changes like regular exercise, restorative sleep, and plenty of brain-healthy foods (e.g., nuts, seeds, eggs, beans, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables).
People with substance use disorders often struggle with undiagnosed mental health disorders. This is known clinically as dual diagnosis. Many people with OCD self-medicate with illicit drugs or alcohol because consuming intoxicating substances offers temporary relief from OCD-related anxieties.
Substance use and mental health disorders must be treated simultaneously to ensure the best outcomes.
OCD signs and symptoms frequently manifest in mid-teens and early adulthood, though they can occur before adolescence. While OCD might involve either an obsession or a compulsion, sufferers often exhibit both types of symptoms.
Obsessions are recurring thoughts that trigger feelings of anxiety. Such thoughts or images might be vivid and pervasive enough to inhibit normal activities. Common obsessions include:
Obsessions can cause extreme stress and anxiety in people with OCD, causing sufferers to self-isolate and avoid situations that might trigger unwelcome thoughts. This is why obsessive-compulsive disorder treatment is so helpful in daily life.
Compulsions are behaviors the OCD sufferer believes will deflect potentially harmful outcomes if performed repeatedly. These behaviors are often executed to alleviate the stress triggered by obsessions, even if the sufferer recognizes that the obsessions are not reasonable. A person with OCD might engage in the following compulsive behaviors:
Routines or habits are not necessarily compulsions. It is perfectly normal to double-check things from time to time. However, a person with OCD might have the following characteristics:
In the past, OCD was regarded as incomprehensible, mysterious, and impossible to treat effectively. Today, mental health and addiction specialists are better acquainted with this complex condition.
The addiction treatment specialists at Alpine Recovery Lodge are skilled and experienced in the treatment of dual diagnosis. We provide a broad spectrum of proven therapeutics that specifically address co-occurring substance use disorders and OCD.
We offer a holistic, highly personalized approach to recovery. With a team of licensed psychotherapists and treatment counselors, we design treatment programs that are individually tailored to meet the needs of each patient. Your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being are our priority.
