Childcare worker from Warrnambool wins luxury European river cruise
Megan Robertson can't wait to start the 15-day luxury European cruise she won in our Explore competition.
But first, she'll need a passport.
The 21-year-old childcare worker from Warrnambool has never been overseas - although she has dreams of one day taking her childcare diploma and working on a cruise ship.
Jetting off to Amsterdam and cruising the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers to Budapest as a guest on an Emerald Waterways Star-Ship is a good first step.
The cruise, from Evergreen Cruises & Tours and worth up to $26,980, was the prize in a national competition to launch our new travel section - Explore.
Megan was over the moon when she learned she had won the competition.
"I do want to travel. I'd love to go to America. Wherever! But my bank account has been saying 'no'," she said.
Megan says she'll be taking her "best friend" Emma, who has been overseas a few times so already has a passport, to share the balcony suite and be her travel adventure buddy.
Those adventures will include visits to some of Europe's most historic towns and cities, including Cologne and its UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral; Bamberg, a town that boasts one of the largest medieval centres in Europe; and Austria's breath-taking capital Vienna, once home to Mozart and Beethoven.
Along the way, Megan and Emma will be entertained by a Bavarian band, share coffee and cake with Slovakians and learn some traditional Hungarian folklore.
On board the Evergreen cruise ship, they'll be tempted with 41 superb meals, including a Captain's gala dinner.
Explore returns as a weekly liftout in 14 newspapers throughout NSW, the ACT, Victoria and Tasmania, on Saturday, January 25.
In the meantime, you can always find the latest Explore stories - full of ideas, deals and advice for holidays around Australia and the world - here, in the Explore section of your local Australian Community Media news website.
The Explore liftout appears in print in the Canberra Times, Newcastle Herald, Illawarra Mercury, Launceston Examiner, Burnie Advocate, Border Mail, Ballarat Courier, Bendigo Advertiser, Warrnambool Standard, Wagga Daily Advertiser, Central Western Daily, Dubbo Daily Liberal, Western Advocate and Northern Daily Leader.
Thanks to Evergreen Cruises & Tours for their support of Explore and providing the wonderful prize for our first editions.

Teenage phenom Bryce Harper has long been considered the next Barry Bonds or Alex Rodriguez, and that's not altogether a good thing.
Last night, the 18-year-old Washington Nationals prospect stood around home plate watching his drive go out of the park for the Hagerstown Suns. Then, as he approached home plate, he puckered up and threw a kiss to the pitcher for the unfortunately named Greensboro Grasshoppers.
The gesture could have been in retaliation for being hit in the leg by a Greensboro pitcher the day before. Still, it drew jeers from Jim Joyce and Kevin Kennedy on Sirius XM's "MLB Home Plate," this morning, with Kennedy warning that if he does something like that in the majors, opposing teams will retaliate, most likely by hitting a top Nationals veteran like Jayson Werth. (The idea is that since Werth will know this, he'll tell Harper to cool it before it happens.)
On ESPN, Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt advised Harper not to show up the pitcher. "Hit 'em like you're used to them-tone it down and play the game."
Harper is running through the Class A South Atlantic League with a .342 BA and 14 HR's (stats). Harper, from Las Vegas, was groomed by his father for stardom at a young age, like Tiger Woods, and was on the cover of Sports Illustrated at age 16. Some experts think he could be the first 18-year old major leaguer since A-Rod, but it's more likely he'll come up next season.


text: From la Adelita to the suffragette, from la chica moderna to the factory girl dressed in red shirt and black skirt—the colors of the anarchist—women's mobilization in the midst of Mexican Revolution was, to a large degree, rooted in their workforce participation. The evolution of gendered occupational segregation of the workforce, sex-typing of occupations, and gendered wage differentials marked women's experiences and the way they organized to take control of their lives and to shape working conditions and politics. While women's employment nationwide contracted during the period 1890–1930, it was nevertheless a moment of significant cultural change in the recognition of women's work outside of the home. Women shifted public debates over their right to work and mobilized around the issues of maternity leave, equal pay for equal work, and respect for seniority. Across the workforce, women fought for the application of the rights afforded by the Mexican Constitution (1917) and then, in the 1930s, by federal labor law. By the fact of their work and because of their activism, women shifted the conversation on the rights of women—single or married, mothers or not, and regardless of personal beliefs or sexual morality—to dignity at work and the right to combine a life of work with other activities that informed their lives and fulfilled their passions.

We have created a service portal (Workshop / Spare Parts Online) especially for service partners, trailer and fleet workshops. The objective of this portal is to provide workshops with online access at all times to relevant service information, such as searching for parts, procuring parts, documenting trailer-specific spare parts and checking for availability of parts.
Using it has been made as simple as possible and the buttons are self-explanatory. Most trailer parts, including other makes apart from Schmitz Cargobull, can be identified and ordered through our web shop. Easy to use search functions with either a Schmitz Cargobull identification number or the original manufacturer's number show you online the article you are looking for. Return information on orders show the order status.
The service portal functions are continually being expanded so that as much information as possible is available online to ensure that the exchange and processing of information with Schmitz Cargobull is efficient and easy. Because time is money!

Spending will increase, but not by as much as requested -- for now.
The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board approved a $170.5 million fiscal 2013 budget Monday, a figure that exceeds last year's budget by $27 million and could increase during the year.
Executive Director Gregory Long presented the board with a $175.5 million fiscal 2013 budget, which included $166.3 million for "steady state" services -- functions already the board performs that are necessary to maintain its current level of service to the TSP's more than 4.6 million beneficiaries -- and an additional $9.1 million for new initiatives. He said a $175.5 million budget for fiscal 2013, about $32 million more than the $143.1 million budget for fiscal 2012, was the "most prudent" figure.
Several members expressed concerns that $175.5 million was too high; the number of assets the board will manage next fiscal year cannot be precisely estimated.
The board agreed to a $170.5 million budget, with the stipulation that it estimates a target budget-to-assets ratio of five budget points. This means the board can reevaluate throughout the year based on growth in its assets and increase the budget. FRTIB Director of External Affairs Kim Weaver said it is not likely the board would end up spending more than the $175.5 million that Long requested. FRTIB Board Chairman Michael Kennedy called the $170.5 million a "happy medium" that preserves the important aspects of Long's budget request and accommodates the concerns of other board members.
The budget approved Monday includes all of Long's $166.3 million in requested funding for steady state services such as record-keeping, data and call centers, accounting, communications and agency staff, plus $4 million for new initiatives. Two of the new efforts are labeled "mission critical:" $3.6 million for the implementation of an Enterprise Information Security and Risk Management directive to ensure the TSP complies with congressional information technology security requirements, and more than $150,000 to hire additional human resources staff.
The other new initiatives included in Long's request that were not approved as part of the official $170.5 million Monday include acquisition and risk management strategies, benchmarking studies and new media communications. Long also provided the board with a budget estimate for fiscal 2014 of $202 million to $211 million, depending upon which new budget initiatives are adopted in fiscal 2013. The board did not vote to approve plans for fiscal 2014.
The board said this summer that it anticipates managing an additional 4.4 percent in TSP assets by fiscal 2017 and growing the size of its budget by 25 percent to accommodate an increasing number of federal retirees, more investment options -- such as the new Roth offering -- and more participants withdrawing partial amounts from their accounts in the next five years.
The board has spent about 99 percent of its $143.1 million fiscal 2012 budget.

As we saw in part one of our popular series on the Stars You Never Knew Were Latino, we don't fit into any one mold. Latinos come in all shapes, sizes and complexions, and here are 15 more stars who are shattering stereotypes.
Check out our gallery of these Latin actors, and tell us which ones surprise you the most!
1. 15 More Stars: Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie, 28: Socialite, reality star and sometimes actress, Nicole Richie is known as Lionel Richie's adopted daughter—the key word there being, "adopted." Richie was actually born Nicole Camille Escovedo to a Mexican mother.
2. 15 More Stars: Tristan Wilds
Tristan Wilds, 20: A lot of people have a hard time believing that Tristan Wilds—the star of the CW's hit drama, 90210—is half-Dominican. "I get offered a lot of black roles, because apparently I don't look Latino enough," the former Wire star told the NY Daily News in 2008. But that hasn't stopped Tristan from wearing his Latin pride on his sleeve. Asked what it's like to shoot in California, the New York native said, "I love L.A., don't get me wrong. But I'm a really big fan of Latin food. I want to go back home and have some good arroz con pollo."
3. 15 More Stars: Odette Yustman
Odette Yustman, 25: Although her first role was a Latin one—at the age of four she played the minor role of Spanish student Rosa in Kindergarten Cop (1990)—few know that Odette Yustman, with those girl-next-door looks, is Latin. But the former star of the ABC drama October Road and the big screen horror flick, The Unborn, is half Cuban. "I learned Spanish at home and, since half my family didn't speak English, it's my first language," says Yustman.
4. 15 More Stars: Tatyana Ali
Tatyana Ali, 31: She's one of the greatest child actors of all time, and has a reputation for being a great R & B singer. But there's one thing that Tatyana "Marisol" Ali isn't known for: Her Latin background. Yes, folks, Ashley Banks of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and the star of the current BET web series, Buppies, is of Afro-Panamian descent on her mother's side!
5. 15 More Stars: Stacey Dash
Stacey Dash, 44
She's best known for her hilarious turn as Dionne, Alicia Silverstone's bitchy BFF in the 1995 film Clueless. But did you know that Stacey—who went on to star in the television spinoff of the same name from 1996-1999—is actually part Mexican?
6. 15 More Stars: Marisol Nichols
Marisol Nichols, 36: Who knew Chevy Chase had a Latina daughter? Marisol Nichols, who is best known for her role as Chevy's daughter Audrey Griswold in the popular comedy Vegas Vacation (1997), may look like a young Demi Moore, but the beautiful actress is also part Mexican.
7. 15 More Stars: Victoria Justice
Victoria Justice, 17: Victoria, who is of Puerto Rican descent on her mother's side, represents for Latinas everywhere as the character Tori Vega, a young Latina who struggles to find her place at an elite Hollywod performing arts high school on Victorious.
8. 15 More Stars: Alana de la Garza
Alana de la Garza, 33: Alana may have the fair skin and complexion of someone like Ashley Judd or Winona Ryder, but make no mistake: This beautiful actress—who plays A.D.A Connie Rubirosa on NBC's Law & Order, is part-Mexican.
9. 15 More Stars: Eva La Rue
Eva LaRue, 43: This Long Beach, California native who stars on CSI: Miami is a mix of many different ethnicities, including French, Dutch and Scottish ancestries. But she's also Puerto Rican. LaRue may not have a "typical Latin look," but she's always gone out of her way to represent for Latinas by playing Latin roles. She was the second Lina Lorenzo (George's Lopez's sister) on The George Lopez Show, and currently stars as Natalia Boa Vista on CSI.
10. 15 More Stars: Alanna Ubach
Alanna Ubach, 34: Alanna is known for portraying funny white women in movies and television. On HBO's hit comedy, Hung, she plays a fabulous cougar named Yael Koontz, but did you know that Alanna is 100% Latina? She's half-Mexican and half-Puerto Rican! True story: The producers of the Ben Stiller comedy Meet the Fockers (2004) put fat cushions and grey hair on Alanna so she could play the role of 40-year-old Cuban maid named Isabel Villalobos.
11. 15 More Stars: Harry Shum Jr.
Harry Shum Jr., 28: You know that kid on Glee who is always dancing around in the background and is kindly referred to as "the other Asian" on the show? Well, his name is Harry Shum Jr. and he's actually a Tico! Born in Costa Rica to Chinese parents, "I feel I have the best of so many worlds," says Shum. "I speak Chinese and Spanish."
12. 15 More Stars: Shar Jackson
Shar Jackson, 33: You might remember Shar from her role as Niecy Jackson, Brandi's best friend on the UPN show, Moesha. But chances are you probably know her best as the girl who had all that baby-mama drama with Kevin Federline and Britney Spears. Either way, did you know that Shar is also Puerto Rican and Mexican on her father's side?
13. 15 More Stars: Snooki
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, 21: Nicole (better known as "Snooki") may star as an Italian guidette on MTV's hottest reality show, The Jersey Shore, but the reality is that Nicole is actually of Chilean descent. She was adopted and raised by Italian parents. That makes us wonder if people from Chile are big on GTL?
14. 15 More Stars: JWoww
Jenni "JWoww" Farley, 23: Snooki's partner in crime, JWoww is a beautiful girl with a great body who is extremely loyal to her friends. (Hey! We should've known she was Latina!) But we admit we had no idea she was until the reality star visited Fox News Channel's The Strategy Room and admitted that she is not of Italian descent, but rather Spanish. We admit, that made us say, "Wow!"
15. 15 More Stars: Shayne Lamas
Shayne Lamas, 24: Don't let the blond hair fool you! Shayne Lamas—star of the E! reality series, Leave it to Lamas—is the daughter of 90s heartthrob Lorenzo Lamas, and like her father, she's proud to be from Argentina.

Old Dominion Survives OT Thriller To Advance To CAA Championship Game
By ODU Athletics
March 7, 2010
RICHMOND, Va. - Old Dominion overcame a 12-point second half deficit and senior Gerald Lee scored a career-high tying 26 points in a thrilling 73-69 overtime win against VCU in the semifinals of the 2010 Virginia 529 College Savings Plan CAA Men's Basketball Championships Sunday afternoon. The game was played in front of a sell-out crowd of 11,200 fans at the Richmond Coliseum.
The Monarchs advance to their seventh conference championship game and first since 2005. Old Dominion (25-8) now has six seasons with 25 or more wins, with three of those coming under Head Coach Blaine Taylor.
Lee, who shot 10-of-13 from the floor, scored 20 or more for the fifth time this season. He now sits only 32 points shy of Kenny Gattison for 10th on the all-time Monarch scoring list. Classmate Marsharee Neely and junior Ben Finney each scored 11 in the win.
Old Dominion, which is ranked fifth nationally in rebounding margin and set a tournament record for most rebounds in a game on Saturday, held a 44-27 advantage on the boards.
In a first half that saw the lead change seven times, the Monarchs went into the break with a 32-29 lead. Lee scored 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting and ODU held a 25-13 advantage on the boards. Nine Old Dominion turnovers kept the Rams, who shot just 35.7 percent from the field, close.
VCU held its largest first half lead, 18-13, after a Brandon Rozzell steal and fast break jumper that capped a 7-0 run. The Monarchs turned a five-point deficit into a five-point advantage with a 16-6 run over the next six minutes. A Kent Bazemore free throw sent ODU into the intermission with the three-point edge.
The Rams came out of the half scorching, netting the first 10 points to go up 39-32. VCU took its largest lead of the game, 52-40, after T.J. Qwynn converted a breakaway dunk after a steal by Joey Rodriguez.
The Monarchs began to chip away at the Rams lead though, going on a 12-3 spurt which was capped by a Bazemore lay-in off a dazzling full-court pass from Darius James. ODU would tie the game at 60 with a Neely put-back of a James miss with 2:46 remaining.
Rodriguez hit a floater on the ensuing VCU possession to give the Rams a 62-60 lead. The Monarchs once again had an answer though and on ODU's next possession, Lee drove on the right wing and hit a jumper over VCU's Larry Sanders.
With under a minute to play both teams had opportunities to win the game in regulation. James missed a jumper with 40 seconds to go, but the ball would go out of bounds off a VCU player. With the shot clocked shut off, Lee possessed the ball just above the three-point line, but he was called for a travel which gave the Rams the ball with six seconds left in regulation.
Rodriguez drove the length off the court and passed inside to Sanders, but the junior could not get a shot off as the horn expired.
In the overtime session, the Monarchs didn't miss a shot, going 4-of-4 from the floor and 2-of-2 from the free throw line.
A Bazemore steal and breakaway jam gave ODU a 68-66 lead, its first since the Rams' 10-0 run out of halftime. VCU missed two shot attempts on its next possession and Finney drilled a triple to give the Monarchs a five-point lead, which matched ODU's largest of the game.
Rozzell hit a three with 35 seconds remaining in overtime to cut the Monarch lead to 71-69. VCU regained possession after a five second call was whistled on ODU. Looking to tie, VCU's Ed Nixon drove to the basket, but missed his jumper and Lee tapped the ball to a streaking Neely who was fouled. After Lee was fouled, the senior drilled a pair of free throws with under a second remaining to ice the game.
The Monarchs have won four straight games and seven of their last eight contests.
Old Dominion will take on the winner of the other semifinal between second-seeded Northeastern and third-seeded William & Mary. The Monarchs lost their only meeting with the Huskies, but swept two matchups against the Tribe.
The game will be televised live on ESPN beginning at 7 p.m. Mike Patrick and Jimmy Dykes will be on the call.

It's June, meaning it's high time you got your fat ass in shape for beach season. No one likes working out, because, you know, paying a boatload of money to run around like a hamster on a wheel isn't exactly fun. But Teemo aims to make getting off your butt a lot easier, and you don't even need any fancy equipment.
What does it do?
This social fitness app turns exercise into a game. It transports you to exotic places where you're faced with little challenges, such as climbing Mount Everest. It's set up like in an interval training format, so you'll do a few minutes of walking or running, with push-ups or another exercise in between.
Why do we like it?
Do you ever get to the gym and have no idea what to do? Do I ride the bike or do I jog on the treadmill? And what kind of weights should I lift? You won't have to worry about those things anymore, because Teemo lays out a routine for you. You can team up with your friends to take on different physical tasks in exotic locales—kind of like the Amazing Race but it's on your iPhone rather than a reality TV show. You don't need any extra weights or anything, it comes with a timer, and you don't have to skip around to other apps, because it lets you play Spotify or iTunes music while you sweat it out.

Despite holding on at the top spot of the singles chart for another week with 'Patience', Take That seem certain to lose out on a Christmas Number One once X Factor winner Leona Lewis, pictured, releases her version of 'A Moment Like This' on Wednesday.
William Hill have closed betting on this coming Sunday's chart, after odds on Lewis emerging triumphant were beaten, mercilessly, to a rather shocking 1/100. A spokesman, Rupert Adam, said: "Downloads are smashing records. Even if Leona failed to sell another copy, she would already have the Christmas Number One."
Lewis sold 50,000 copies of her single, digitally, in 30 minutes following her victory on Saturday. Downloads are now at around the 200,000 mark, meaning that even if she didn't release the song on CD, Lewis would claim the top spot on Sunday with ease.
Elsewhere on this week's singles chart, though, Cliff Richard is at two with '21st Century Christmas' / 'Move it', Gwen Stefani's 'Wind It Up' climbs to three, Cascada are (is? Who or what is Cascada?) at four with 'Truly Madly Deeply', and Booty Luv's 'Boogie 2Nite' slips from two to five. Which all means Sir Cliff is this week's highest new entry.
The next new entry is our friend, and yours, the Crazy Frog; 'Last Christmas', a pointlessly irritating cover of the Wham! song, is at 16. Matt Willis will be smiling, albeit not quite as broadly as the blue animated amphibian: his 'Don't Let It Go To Waste' climbs from 68 to 19 this week, no doubt aided by his recent victory on that celebrity jungle telly show.
Back on a Christmas tip: Ricky Tomlinson's 'Christmas My Arse' is at 25. *Sigh*. Slade's enduring festive effort - you know the one - is at 23 (one place above Razorlight's 'America', which won't go away even when the band's new single, 'Before I Fall To Pieces', is at 46), and Andy Abraham's 'December Brings Me Back To You', which we guess is a Christmassy offering, is at 18.
In fact, Razorlight have three songs in the top 75: 'In The Morning' is at 75. Go away skinny boys. Whoa, Lily Allen has three songs in there, too: 'Smile' is at 68, 'LDN' at 70, and latest single 'Littlest Things' is currently at 21. This downloading lark: messes everything up, doesn't it?
Nothing's changed in the album chart top five this week: Take That are at one, still, chased by Oasis, Westlife, Il Divo and U2. The two highest new entries are both from Lionel Richie (yes, really), and no new albums, at all, debut on the top 75. Oh. Dear.
Well, tis Christmas we suppose. Which means this is the last chart round-up until the new year, unless we manage to drag ourselves to a computer on Monday - that's Christmas Day! - to tell you the obvious: Take That are selling by the skip load and Leona Lewis is enjoying her first and only, probably, number one single.
Have a very merry - by which we do mean drunken - Christmas. Danke.

CULTURE- BUZZBOX- Campy: Summer options keep kids busy
Yikes! School's almost over for another year, and I haven't even thought about what my kids will do this summer! Sound like a familiar refrain?
Well, procrastinating parents need not panic. Lots of local day camp programs still have openings for kids with all kinds of interests.
Wintergreen Nature Foundation, for example, lets rising third, fourth, and fifth graders get wild in the woods with Nature Camp June 18-22. Kids can climb the mountain for afternoons full of crafts, games, snacks, and scientific experiments in the great outdoors. Cost is $110 for members, $120 for non-members. Call Melissa for registration and information: 325-8169.
Young writers can explore the many facets of the written word all summer long with the Charlottesville Writing Center's Freedom Writers summer camps. One- and two-week morning sessions let kids in grades 3-12 find the fun in fiction, poetry, drama, songwriting, and journalism. Classes are held at UVA from June 18 through August 3. Cost is $165 for one-week sessions, $275 for two-week sessions. Scholarships are available. Information and enrollment forms are available at cvillewrites.org or by calling 293-3702.
For those who need to be active, the UVA sports department offers Cavalier Day Camp. Rising first through fifth graders can get in on the action with all kinds of activities, including swimming, music, drama, hiking, and canoeing, ice- and roller-skating, and more. Activities also include field trips and arts and crafts, and kids can start and end their day at the UVA Aquatic and Fitness Center next to Scott Stadium. Four two-week sessions are offered starting June 11. For more information and registration, call Carol Spry at 924-3791 or virginia.edu/ims/cdc.
Drama queens– and kings– ages 5-14 can play on at Old Michie Theatre's Summer Theatre and Drama Camps. One- and two-week sessions let players and puppeteers "Shake Hands with Shakespeare," fall "In Love with J.R.R. Tolkien," and make "Masks, Mime, and Music" and have fun while they learn. Tuition ranges from $175 to $360. Call 977-3690 for more information and registration.
Kids who would just as soon travel this summer can explore Italy or China without leaving home. Ecco Italy introduces little Michelangelos ages 4-7 to the Italian language through a week-long program that includes songs, stories, magic, and hands-on art projects such as making Venetian masks. One session happens June 18-22 from 9am-noon at the shop on West Main Street. Cost is $225, and more information is available at 825-4390.
High school juniors and seniors who want a real adventure can earn four UVA credits as they immerse themselves in a six-week tour of the language and culture of China. Students will learn to speak, read, and write as they explore the culture through calligraphy, cooking, art at the UVA Art Museum, and shopping in a local Chinese store where they will be expected to speak only Chinese. Information and admission applications are available at virginia.edu/summer/admission/application/hsinst.html or 924-4298.

Tribe eyeing Tuesday return for McAllister
MINNEAPOLIS -- Zach McAllister stood in front of his locker inside the visitors' clubhouse at Target Field and declared himself ready to return to the Indians' rotation. The team plans on waiting until after the pitcher's next bullpen session to make its final decision.
As far as McAllister is concerned, though, he answered any lingering doubts about his right middle finger injury during a six-inning Minor League rehab outing with Triple-A Columbus on Thursday. The big right-hander hopes his next start will be on Tuesday against the Mariners.
"I feel like I'm ready," McAllister said. "That's up to them to decide that, but from my standpoint, I feel like I'm ready. I have the confidence in my curveball, which to me was one of my biggest things. I feel like that's there now."
McAllister was placed on the 15-day disabled list on June 8 with a sprained right middle finger, which caused the most discomfort when throwing his curve. That pitch was the last step of a gradual throwing program over the past month, and he threw it comfortably throughout his rehab start with Columbus on Thursday.
Over six shutout innings, McAllister scattered two hits and finished with two strikeouts and a pair of walks. The right-hander logged 69 pitches in the game and said he added 20 more off a mound in the bullpen. The next step is for McAllister to throw a bullpen session on Saturday at Target Field in Minneapolis.
Indians manager Terry Francona said there is a good chance that McAllister will indeed be activated from the DL to start on Tuesday in Seattle, if the bullpen session goes well.
"What we're going to do is let him throw his side," Francona said on Friday, "and then kind of make the final decision. We don't really have to do it today, and we'll see how he bounces back. We'll see how he throws his 'pen, but everything is leaning towards him pitching [on Tuesday].
"I think we're all in agreement that this is probably going to happen."
McAllister went 4-5 with a 3.43 ERA in 11 starts prior to his injury. After opening the season with a 4-3 record and a 2.89 ERA through nine starts, McAllister posted a 6.52 ERA and allowed 17 hits in 9 2/3 innings combined over his last two outings.

"Wreck-It Ralph" claims high score at Annie Awards
Walt Disney's video-game romp "Wreck-It Ralph" has won top animation honors at the Annie Awards.
The comedy hit about a video-game villain who wants to be a hero was named best animated feature at Saturday night's Annies, which are presented by the International Animated Film Society. "Wreck-It Ralph" won out over a field that included "Brave," "Frankenweenie," "ParaNorman" and "Hotel Transylvania."
With a voice cast led by John C. Reilly, "Wreck-It Ralph" dominated the film categories, also winning Annies for director Rich Moore, voice co-star Alan Tudyk and for its music and screenplay.
Among live-action films, "The Avengers" won the Annie for animated effects and "Life of Pi" won for character animation.
On the TV side, an episode of "Robot Chicken" won for best general audience animated show.
"Wreck-It Ralph" is also nominated for an Oscar for best animated feature at the Academy Awards, which will be presented on Feb. 24.

If an earthquake struck San Francisco tomorrow, would its residents be prepared for the aftermath?
Probably more so than in the past, but the city's Department of Emergency Management is brainstorming better ways to help San Franciscans plan for disasters.
"We did a lot of studies around how can we talk about preparedness in a different way," said Francis Zamora, the department's spokesman. "What we were finding was that connected communities, communities that had natural social networks, that had people who knew each other, they were a lot more resilient in terms of what happens during disasters."
The city is working with developers to create a digital social network, SF72, which will encourage residents to link up and share resources. The network is in the very early stages of development, with a launch date tentatively scheduled for early fall. Zamora said the city, which is working with tech partner IDEO, hasn't yet decided if the network should implement social log-ins with Facebook and Twitter integration or create its own log-ins.
The technical details are still being ironed out, but the concept is firm. Zamora said SF72 is based on the emergency management department's existing preparedness resource guide, 72hours.org. The site is rudimentary, but provides information on how to prepare for various disasters, including what to pack in your emergency kit and how to help others.
"It's really important that people find connections in their neighborhood, because it lets people know who needs help and who can help in a disaster," Zamora said.
Crowdsourcing in an emergency
Social media has become an essential source of information and resources, as evidenced during Hurricane Sandy and in the aftermath of the Boston bombings. Zamora said current emergency preparedness guides are used mainly by people who are inclined to be ready for the worst anyway. SF72 is designed to reach out to people who don't tend to think about disasters.
The city has discussed working with some of the core companies in San Francisco's sharing economy; New Yorkers who offered their homes as shelters on AirBnB during Hurricane Sandy is an example of the kind of social resource-sharing that SF72 will encourage.
The site, which may also roll out as an app in the future, will launch with three basic sections: Connect and Share, Prepare, and Make.
Connect and Share will let people sign up to find help or offer resources (if you can provide a generator or cook for several people, for example). Prepare will feature videos demonstrating how to get your home ready for a disaster. Make will take advantage of the site's open-source nature, so if you wanted to create a People Finder on the site (as Google did after the Boston bombings), you could easily do so.
Zamora said an emergency mode will exist in the background of the site to be switched on by the emergency planning department in the event of a disaster so the department can both share official details and crowdsourced information from the streets.
San Francisco's social network could potentially be a model for other cities. Zamora said his department has been in talks with New York City's office of emergency management, and they're thinking along the same lines.
"Part of the beauty about SF72 is that it is being created open-source, so other cities can take this model and create something that works for them," Zamora said.
This story, "San Francisco adds social networking element to emergency, disaster planning" was originally published by TechHive.

Prix CIRCOM Regional Programme Award - About & Archive
The Best Regional Television Programmes In Europe
Every year, the Prix CIRCOM Regional honours the best regional productions. These are the most important international awards for regional programmes and were first presented in 1990.
The main aim of the Prix CIRCOM is to set a benchmark standard of excellence to which all producers, all directors and all stations can and should aspire. As such, it seeks to raise the general level of programming for viewers.
The Prix seeks to recognise skills of programme makers and to encourage best practice among practitioners.
It also attracts public attention to the success of regional production and broadcasting, making clear the contribution of the regions to quality service.
Finaly, by careful selection and framing of categories, the Prix encourages regional stations to be alert to changes in the viewing and production market in new skills and new ways of distributing video to ensure a modern and self-sustaining regional TV industry.
Categories change from year to year. For instance, in 1992 the awards were for Best Documentary, Best Direction, Best Fiction and Best Cross-Border Programme. In 1993, there was an award for Best Youth programme.
The award juries comprise experts working as producers in regional stations. Every year after the Prix CIRCOM Regional judging, a very substantial document - Prix CIRCOM Regional Jury Report - is produced. Jury reports, through comments on each entry as considered by the judging panel, reasons for selecting winning entries, as well as thoughts from the judges about categories and criteria, give insight in the range and quality of content of regional public service media in Europe.
The awards are presented at the CIRCOM Regional Annual Conference, hosted every year by a national network in a regional centre.

New bullying allegations at a First Coast school | News
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It's been one week since a First Coast mother said she could have lost her daughter to bullying. Police say the fight took place a block away from Oceanway Middle School last Thursday. That's where they say Aria Jewett was lured to a nearby store where another girl was waiting.
Jewett was then kicked while on the ground and her head hit a stone wall, according to police. Three teenagers were taken into custody and one faces a felony battery charge. First Coast News has recieved a lot of emails and phone calls since reporting on that incident.
FCN contacted Scott Lewis after he reached out to us to share the story of his son James, who is in the sixth grade.
"He all of a sudden, didn't want to go to school," Lewis said.
This alleged bullying started last year at Joseph Stilwell Middle School on the Westside. Lewis is familiar with the dangers of bullying, as he teaches Cub Scouts how to handle these types of situations.
"They put a sticker on his back that said, 'Kick me.' So the kids were going around kicking him, so he finally had enough."
During our interview, Lewis made a claim that caught our attention.
He said, "Guidance counselor rounded up all the boys, it was like five of them total, and James told the story and James didn't say anything, so she walked over and put a 'kick me' sticker on their backs and said 'you can kick them all.' And he said 'that wouldn't be fair.'"
Here's what Lewis' 11-year-old son claims happened next.
"So the guidance counselor kicked them and she asked them how it felt, and they said they didn't like it," Lewis told us. Lewis said the alleged kick was almost a light foot to rear-end tap.
Immediately after the interview just before 2:45 p.m. Thursday afternoon, FCN called Brenda Jordan, the principal of Joseph Stilwell to confirm if this really happened. They referred us to the communications office at the district.
Duval County Public Schools spokesperson Marsha Oliver said she spoke to the principal of the school. Jordan told Oliver that she has no knowledge of the incident and has heard no complaints about such an incident happening. If parents have heard of this incident happening, Jordan told Oliver she wants them to come forward.
Oliver said such an incident is against school district policy and they are looking into it further.
If you have children who may have been in the office during this alleged situation, FCN would like to hear from you.

So Joe Namath, heretofore known as The Guy Who Tries To Ruin A Perfectly Brilliant Moment With Talk Of Drinking "Problems," is out promoting his new book, "Namath," and during his "60 Minutes" interview this Sunday, he discusses the incident that, if nothing else, launched Kissing Suzy Kolber and made us once again appreciate the beauty of live television. He says he does not regret the incident.
"I was under the influence, and when you get under the influence, you may think you have things under control, but it's a fact that you don't," Namath says. He adds: "It was that incident that brought to light that I needed to do something, absolutely. And I'm glad. I hated having to deal with that incident, the family, the friends ... the fans. I mean, that really hurt."
We are pleased that Namath was able to get help for his drinking, and that it took something so high-profile and profoundly hilarious to make it happen. But he really shouldn't worry about having disappointed his fans; frankly, the guy earned himself a whole new generation of them.

Visitation will be 4:30-7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 25 at Henry-Olson Funeral Chapel in Estherville. Interment will be at Harrison Township Cemetery in Swea City.
He died Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013, at Lakes Regional Health Care in Spirit Lake.
Roy Rohlin, the son of George and Elsie (Johnson) Rohlin, was born April 24, 1926, in Swea City.
He received his education in the Swea City Schools, graduating from Swea City High School in 1944.
On Oct. 21, 1949, Roy was united in marriage to Phyllis Hilpipre. Roy worked for Kossuth County Road Department and then Iowa Road Builders for 13 years as foreman. In 1963, he started Rohlin Construction Company Inc. in Estherville and operated it until 2004.

He served on several boards including, Asphalt Paving Association as director and president; four years as Iowa Representative for National Asphalt Paving Association; and was inducted to the Iowa Hot Mix Asphalt Hall of Fame. Roy also received the Man of the Year Award in Estherville.
Roy loved going to farm and road equipment auctions. Roy and Phyllis enjoyed spending winters at Fountain of the Sun in Mesa, Ariz.

Fergus Finlay speaking on RTÉ Radio 1's Drivetime 22/04/2009
I met the Senior Citizens' Parliament last Friday at their Annual Conference in Dublin. They are an impressive and determined group of people who have two aims, to be a strong voice representing Older People and their needs and to promote inter-generational solidarity.
Although God knows I am not far off being qualified to be a member of the Parliament, I was there because my day job involves supporting children and I wanted to suggest that at times like this all the generations should be working together.
What I found when I met the Parliament was a group of very angry people, they are still angry about last years Medical Card fiasco and determined it won't happen again and they are equally angry about the decision in the Budget of a fortnight ago to deprive pensioners of the now well established Christmas bonus.
Their President, Sylvia Meehan, made the point passionately at the conference that this latest cut would mean that a lot of Irish pensioners, especially those who live alone will be colder and hungrier this year.
But when you speak to the Parliament member's individually one thing becomes very clear, these are the people who never want to be a drain on the State. They are proud of the contribution they have made over their lifetime, raising families, holding down jobs, paying their taxes, involving themselves in all sorts of community activities. They have been through all the hardships of the past and they have paid their dues, what they want now and what they deserve is to be treated with respect.
There is one other thing that the members of that generation all have in common: 'independence', they are still more than prepared to carry their share of the burden and more than prepared to look after themselves and indeed in the times that we live in many of the Grandparents all are still contributing to the economy by enabling their children to participate.

Elderly care is becoming more and more of a need in this fast paced world. As adults become busier each year with work, children, and activities, the need for someone outside the family to provide elderly care for aging family members and friends is growing. If you are in this situation, you can take comfort in the many agencies that offer elderly home care or elderly companion care.
Elderly care allows the aging adult to continue to live in the comforts of their own home while receiving assistance from a qualified care giver. Many older people are still capable of living in their own home, but may require essential personal assistance for every day chores and errands. That's where an elderly care service can really help. Hiring an agency to handle the elderly care eliminates the stress and worry family members experience over the care of their elderly loved ones. Seniors are also comforted and feel at ease knowing that a caring, experienced caregiver will be there to assist any time, day or night. Most importantly, the caregivers adapt to their client's routine.
Studies have shown that seniors thrive more when living in their own home than in a nursing home. Help your elder relative maintain their independence by looking for an elderly care agency that fits their needs. One agency that provides elderly care service is Visiting Angels.Their agencies tailor the program of care based on the needs of the elderly person. They are flexible and are able to change their care program as different needs arise. To learn more, you can visit their website at www.VisitingAngels.com. Qualified elderly care for today's seniors is just a click away.

If mind-reading is not your forte, it's important to listen out for cryptic clues or cleverly dropped hints in the run-up to a special occasion. If you still have no idea whatsoever, then stick to our basic rules when buying gifts for women.
Whether it's a birthday treat, a Christmas gift or a random surprise, women love to be pampered. Treat her by choosing thoughtful gifts that she would never splurge on herself.
Gifts for her - what not to buy
For wives, live-in girlfriends or mothers, cleaning products or practical household items should be avoided at all costs, lest you want that new compost bin, as well as its putrid contents, thrown at your head in the midst of a heated row! When buying gifts for her, it's much safer to go for something heart-felt and indulgent that will make her smile.
Gym memberships and weight loss products are an absolute no-no. No matter what she asks you, she always looks great and NO, her thighs definitely do not look big in her new figure hugging skirt/jeans/bandage dress. Cute work-out clothes and sports accessories are only acceptable gifts for her if she's already the sporty type and won't be insulted by the suggestion that she could do with some exercise that doesn't involve an arm and a T.V. remote.
Gifts for her- presentation is everything.
While we know it's the thought that counts, but when buying gifts for her unless you are under 10 and can produce a home-made gift that will reduce her to a heap of sentimental goo, make her present look expensive. This can be achieved by actually buying something pricey or dressing it up with either lashings of good quality paper or a pretty box, covered in silk ribbons to make it look as extravagant as possible. Like the lady herself, she won't be able to resist beautiful things.
