Here is an odd statistic : very possibly the least important set of numbers you will see all week !
I just did a search of two names on Yahoo ! and Google :
Britney Spears ,who was "so yesterday" a year ago had 192,000,000 online "hits" on Yahoo ! and 2,980,000 on Google.
Hillary Clinton, who just might become the first woman to be elected President of the United States ,had only 147,000,000 on Yahoo !, and 1,930,000 on Google.
Astute readers will realize instantly this would have been a good place to insert one of the many unflattering photos of Hillary and/or one of the "R-rated" shots of Britney . Instead, I chose to take the high road, and post a shot of Mr. Meangenes - who, as it happened, was checking out my refrigerator for WMD .
(His inspection disclosed a bottle of Yuengling,which in a truly noble and sacrificial gesture,he tested for Bio-toxins by imbibing the contents, and
scrounging around extending his precautionary search for more. What a guy !! Click his picture and you'll see why .)
Naturally, I drew Meangene's attention to the tell-tale statistics.
Hey ! National elections are less than a year away, and every trend-no matter how tiny or insignificant-must be reviewed,analyzed,and interpreted by the Talking Gods of the Media.
For example: last week , Hillary Clinton gave a news conference in Waterloo,Iowa. At the end of the conference,as she was preparing to leave,an American flag,which had been placed too close to the stage curtain started to fall. Hillary and her aides caught it.
This "hot story" was picked up by ABC's "Action News",and broadcast-complete with falling flag clip-to millions of viewers : the producers (who sound suspiciously like Barack Obama fans) managing to suggest Hillary knocked the flag over.
Studio Exec: "Okay,what else happened at the news conference ?"
Producer: "Gee, I dunno. we concentrated on the important part."
Studio Exec: " Okay ! Good job !"
Oddly enough. Mr. Meangenes didn't seem interested in the Clinton vs Spears situation. When I asked him again, he shook his head, raised his index finger,wagged it warningly, and said : " B-R-A-A-A-A-A-A-AP !!"
When the windows stopped rattling , I rushed over to him. " Meangenes ! Are you okay ? Were there bio-toxins in the beer ?"
" Naw ! I just swallowed that one a bit too fast. Got any more you want tested ?"
That's Meangenes for you: short on nuances;long on thirst !
ps: You knew I wouldn't be able to resist a Hillary picture !
I looked for one of Britney, but most of them were "Not Safe For Work".
And, no: I don't want to think about Hillary in a Britney costume !

rather than installing a bunch of security software on individual notebook computers, yoggie has created a usb stick containing a miniature security processor it has been developing for the last two years. the processor runs at 520mhz and offloads all of the security operations from the main notebook cpu. security is offered by using a linux os to ensure all network contact is routed through the pico before it even gets to windows.
a driver is installed on the notebook and ensures all network traffic is diverted straight to the pico device before reaching the main os. if an attack is identified, then the only device affected is the pico and not the notebook. supporting software for corporate users allows permission levels to be set on a per notebook basis, and if someone forgets to take his or her pico on a trip, then network access is automatically disabled (unless granted by your network administrator).
two versions of the pico are being made available. the corporate edition (pico pro) will cost around us$199 with software costs being a license fee of $42 a year after the first year. the consumer edition (pico personal) will be at the lower price of $179 and $32 for the yearly license and does not include vpn functionality.
yoggie is also working on a pc card version of the pico, so that it is easier for users to leave it connected to a notebook all the time.
read more at pcpro.
matthew's opinion
the amount of software updates that get done whenever i turn on my machine has started to make me think a hardware solution would be a nice alternative. a little box that sits there keeping itself up-to-date and removing the little security icons from my task bar sounds good to me.
for notebook users, the biggest drawback of this solution is the increased battery usage, but that may be a small price to pay for an all-in-one security solution you can plug in and forget about. i'm not sure why the company didn't create the pc card version first, since that is a lot easier to just insert and forget about. it is possibly easier to get the system on to a usb stick, which means the company automatically caters to standard pcs as well.
if yoggie is sensible with discounting for large corporate orders, then it may be on to a winner with this device. those of you with a home network and multiple pcs may also want to take a look at the gatekeeper device.

Two Parts of Prayer
Prayer is made of two distinct parts. The first part is when we speak to God. We believe that God listens to us and cares about us. Honesty and modesty is an essential characteristic of this part of prayer. We often pray for others, our church, and for ourselves. The Bible tells us that we and can confidently bring our concerns before God.
The second part of prayer is when God speaks to us. This is the part that we often skip; it is also the most difficult part to learn. Most of our prayers sound like this, "God thank you for X and please help Y and Z, amen." The gap between our final request and amen is non-existent. We need to learn how to pause and listen.
Listening to God requires two things. First, we need to stop talking. Second, we must learn how to become silent. To stop talking is an act of humility. In a world where the loudest person wins, shutting up can seem counterintuitive. You can do it. Just shut your mouth and put down your phone. The second act of listening is far more difficult: you must learn how to silence your heart. This is not about external noise as much as it is about internal noise. Be still and know that God is in control. Let the Holy Spirit speak to you; don't take control of your inner-dialogue. Trust God and listen.
Practicing the art of listening inyour prayer life will change it dramatically. Begin by silencing your mouth, your mind, and your heart today.

A bill for creation of a new Christian province in Iraq's Nineveh Plain have been undone by a vote in the Iraqi Parliament, which favors maintaining an administrative border of the province of Nineveh. The idea behind the bill was that Christians might have an area where they could reside in peace alongside other minorities. The bill was originally introduced by a U.S. Congressman Jeff Fortenberry into the US House of Representatives as he called for the move.
An Iraqi Member of Parliament representing the Nineveh province Ahmed al-Jarba, requested a vote on the bill, which was vetoed. "The Iraqi people reject any decision that partitions the Nineveh province. The people of the city determine the destiny of their city in the post-Islamic State (ISIS) stage."

On the other hand, Bet al-Nahrain, Romio Hakkari, leader of the Assyrian Christian party Kurdistan24 said: "We do not want to be part of the possible Sunni autonomous region in Iraq." The Christian leader had traveled to the U.S. in order to endorse the bill. A local news agency reported him saying, that the Sunnis in Nineveh discriminate against Christians in the area.
After the advance of Islamic State against the Mosul, back in 2014 approximately 80,000 Christians the city and the Nineveh Plain imperiled by the terror group. Minorities specially Christians and Yazidis were threatened to convert, pay jaziya or face death.
The ISIS onslaught, resulted in hundreds of civilians perishing, more than 400,000 forced to flee in northern Iraq. Men and children were annihilated in brutal ways while women being brutally raped and sold as sex slaves. Owing to the violence, Iraq's Christian population which was 1.5 million once had shrunk to 200,000.

This bake came about because hubby loves cooked apples/ apple pie/ apple sauce and I still had some applesauce left. I thought that a tart apple filling combined with sweet pastry cream would be lovely wrapped with soft milk bread. And to maximize the amount of filling, I decided to leave the tops of the buns open but with a lattice of cookie to keep the apple goodness in.
I used to be a firm believer in using the sponge dough method to make soft and fluffy bread. This method is undoubtedly the best if you want soft and fluffy bread but I think I have found the perfect straight dough recipe (simpler) that does not rely on huge amount of fat or condensed milk to make it soft. It contains little sugar and butter too. The best part is it remains soft even after 2 days! Quite a feat for homemade bread that satisfies all the above requirements. This recipe is an adaptation of the famous Wu Pao-Chun champion loaf recipe.
Ingredients (makes 16 mini buns):
160g applesauce** (refer to my previous post for the recipe)
160g custard** (refer to my old post for the recipe)
** You may wish to change the ratio of applesauce:custard depending on whether you prefer stronger apple flavour or custard flavor.
Cookie dough
25g icing sugar
50g butter
75g plain flour
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Bread dough
225g bread flour
55g cake flour*
20g wheat gluten*
20g rolled oats (optional)
1 tsp instant yeast
10g sugar
240g fresh milk
15g butter
3g salt
*You may replace with plain or bread flour. The cake flour (low protein flour) adds softness to the bread and wheat gluten provides better structure to the bread and added nutrition. The dough passes windowpane test faster too with the addition of wheat gluten.
1. Prepare the applesauce and custard before hand. They can be kept refrigerated. You may wish to use apple chunks instead of apple puree for more bite. Mix the two together thoroughly. Wrap into balls of 20g each with cling wrap and freeze the balls.
2. Prepare the cookie dough. This is actually a recipe for shortbread cookies. Mix everything together until a dough forms. Roll the dough to 2mm in thickness. Cut small strips of dough (about 4mm in width) to wrap around a frozen ball of apple custard, latticed style as shown in the 2nd picture. Keep the assembly wrapped in cling wrap and frozen. You may prepare this up to a day or two ahead of time.
3. Prepare the bread dough. Mix all the dry ingredients except salt (first 6 ingredients) in a large bowl. Add milk and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough is formed. Pour out onto a non-stick mat and gradually knead in butter and salt. I didn't add the salt earlier to make sure that as little yeast is killed as possible. Knead for 15 minutes or until the dough passes the windowpane test. Alternatively, you may use a standmixer or breadmaker but I prefer a workout :).
4. Let the dough proof for 45 minutes or until double in size in a large greased bowl covered with cling wrap. Punch down the dough and knead a few times to expel any trapped gas. Divide the dough into 16 pieces of about 36g each. Rest for 10 minutes loosely covered in cling wrap.
5. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball of dough into a circle and place a frozen ball of filling in the middle. Use a bench scraper or knife to make 4 cuts as shown in the picture below (3rd picture in collage). Fold two opposite flaps up and pinch together (4th picture). Fold the remaining 2 flaps up and pinch seal (5th picture). Place the bun in paper liner in a jumbo muffin pan. Brush the tops of the cookie dough with cinnamon powder (optional) (6th picture). Proof for 1 hour. Milk wash the buns (or egg wash if you prefer).
6. Bake in preheated oven at 170-180°C for 15 minutes or until the buns are lightly browned.
Best to consume it fresh but if you are not, do toast it before consuming the next day :).
It may seem like a lot of work to make these. But spreading the work over a few days make the actual baking really easy. I didn't make all 16 apple custard buns with this batch of dough but made other buns too :). There's corn custard, tuna and cheese, ham rose and fruit n nut buns (not in picture) too :). We are all happy to have homemade buns for weekend breakfast at last !
This post is linked to Little Thumbs Up event organized by Bake For Happy Kids with My Little Favourite DIY & hosted this month by I-Lost in Austen.
Baked with lots of love,

This is a dish that I came up with the day before grocery shopping day.
Odds and ends that I put together and created an explosion of flavours.
|chicken Pkg
|(about 12 thighs)
|Olive tsp
|2 cups
|of peas and carrots
|roma tomatoes
|parts of red and white wine (no water was used)
|large potatoes
|1 tsp
|of cumin
|1 tsp
|of paprika
I don't use a recipe I eyeball everything but here it goes ....I peel potatoes and cut them into bite sized squares. Sautee onions, garlic and olive oil, add 2 heaping table spoons of pimento paste, about a table spoon of cumin, about a teaspoon of paprika, salt, pepper, chicken knorr to taste (depending on how much sauce you're making which also depends on how much chicken you have) once the onions are sautéed and you get that golden super attractive golden colour chop about 3 or 4 Roma tomatoes add them into the mix, and about 2 cups of peas and carrots. Place your chicken into the pot and add white and red wine equal parts,,just enough to cover the chicken. Taste the sauce and if it needs anything, add it in only taste after its started to boil and has been stirred a few times. Once it starts boiling turn off the heat, preheat your oven to 450 take a deep pan take the chicken out with tongs place them neatly, add your washed potatoes on top of the chicken (spread them out neatly) then pour all that sauce and goodness all over the chicken...you should have a couple of inches of sauce....bake for an hour occasionally flipping the potatoes and chicken every once in a while and bam! You're done when you can easily slide the knife into the potatoes and the chicken is cooked

There are things you instantly associate with Japan. Things such as sushi, geisha, robots, the widespread inability to speak English and, all things kawaii. For visitors to Japan, these are things to gape and exclaim over however, having lived here for almost a year and a half, these things now rarely make me miss a beat. But even I occasionally find myself laughing over something saying, that is so Japanese, hence this new series has been born. Only in Japan… is going to be a photo series, where I show you something that made me take pause and realise I am indeed living in Japan.
The first in this series is this Hello Kitty Car Park, I found in my wanderings of Osaka. Please enjoy.
Prepare your eyes for an onslaught of pink and things so cute you might lose your man card (if you are a man, filled in the document that gave you one at birth…and haven't yet realised this is a completely fabricated document worth nothing to you or anyone else).
(I don't know how to do fancy picture layouts, I apologise!)
Until next time!

Woodbridge: Pub introduces menus for dogs
PUBLISHED: 12:13 17 January 2012
IT's a dog's dinner of a menu - but one pub's hospitality for hounds has set tails wagging.
The King's Head in Woodbridge introduced a new Mutt's Menu late last year to make the pub an attractive prospect for people dining out with their dogs.
Specialities include honey-dried pig's snout, doggy sausage and a ramekin of gravy bones.
The new additions to the pub's food menu have proved popular with four-legged customers and have delighted and amused dog owners.
"People like to bring their dogs in and we love to see them," said Mike Ball, the pub's licensee.
"We always like to give dogs treats when they come in but we thought we should give them more choice.
"Everything's £1 so we don't make much profit out of it but we want to make people feel comfortable if they want to go out for a meal with their dogs."
Mr Ball first thought of the idea some years ago but decided to put it into practice when he and his wife, Lucy, took ownership of their yellow labrador Sydney last year.
"We did a Christmas menu and that went down really well so we have kept it going. The pig's snout is probably the most popular," he said.
Mr Ball, who has run the Adnams-owned pub for the past five years, said he hoped that hounds out for walks around the Market Hill area would soon be dragging their owners into the pub for some food. "It's good for business and I hope it becomes a talking- point too – a pub should be a theatre," he said.


text:
If you've been following me for a while, you may remember that I used to talk about starting up a podcast, and the frustrations I was having with that. Well, you might have figured that I dropped that idea since I haven't talked about it in a while.
I've still been thinking about it some, but not as much as I was. I asked a guy that I've gotten to know on Twitter, but he never really committed one way or the other, so I decided he was my last resort and so I decided to drop the idea once and for all. For now, at least.
Then, for a while, I had a vlog. It was very successful, mind you. It was also one more thing to do when it really came down to it. I started out really excited about doing it, but then it became more of a nuisance than anything. So, since I was getting more negative feedback on it than anything, and I wasn't really enjoying them, I decided to take that down, as well.
Sometimes, we all have to take a step back and wonder if what we're doing is really worth it. I myself have wondered on multiple occasions if what I'm doing is worth it.
I've come to the conclusion that some things are more than worth it while other things aren't worth it at all. It's just a matter of what's really important to you.
Follow your dreams. That's the most important thing you can ever do.

Submitted by: 3BL Media
Categories: Research, Reports & Publications, Sustainability
Posted: May 16, 2016 – 08:15 AM EST
NORTHAMPTON, Massachusetts, May 16 /CSRwire/ - The team that wrote and distributed an award-winning 2015 sustainability report will join 3BL Media's next "Best Practices" webinar to share their formula for creating unique and engaging content that garnered interest far beyond launch day.
"Sustainability Stories That Resonate: Extending Audiences and Campaign Duration," is scheduled for noon ET on June 21. There is no cost to attend, and the content is appropriate for CSR and sustainability professionals, and the communications executives who support them.
Domtar, widely recognized as the leader in sustainable forestry practices within its industry, was tapped by PR News in March as producer of the best CSR/sustainability report of 2015. The company used video, infographics, blog posts, press releases and other digital assets to drive interest in the report for months.
"Domtar's 2015 Sustainability Report, 'Our world, connected,' is a refreshing change from typical sustainability reports," wrote PR News. "This report was shaped by extensive interviews with customers, non-governmental organizations, academia and other sustainability thought leaders on ways Domtar could make its sustainability reporting more engaging, more relevant and more memorable."
Two Domtar managers -- Brian Kozlowski, senior manager, Sustainability Performance Optimization, and Daniel Persica, sustainability communications manager – will join 3BL Media's chief marketing officer, Dave Armon, for a discussion around the pulp and paper company's process for producing dynamic content that generated interest among employees, customers, shareholders and other important audiences across the world.
"In 2011, fewer than 20 percent of S&P 500 companies produced sustainability reports. That total jumped to 89 percent last year," said Armon, citing Governance & Accountability Institute research. "Interest in sustainability is only going to grow, so communications professionals owe it to themselves to learn from experts the best practices for making this content easy to consume and share."
About Domtar
Domtar is a leading provider of a wide variety of fiber-based products including communication, specialty and packaging papers, market pulp and absorbent hygiene products. With approximately 9,850 employees serving more than 50 countries around the world, Domtar is driven by a commitment to turn sustainable wood fiber into useful products that people rely on every day. Domtar's annual sales are approximately $5.3 billion and its common stock is traded on the New York and Toronto Stock Exchanges. Domtar's principal executive office is in Fort Mill, South Carolina.

Warner Brothers
Blake Heron has passed away at the age of 35.
E! News can confirm that the actor, who rose to fame playing Marty Preston in 1996's Shiloh, was found dead inside his Los Angeles-area home on Friday morning. TMZ reports Heron's girlfriend contacted paramedics, who reportedly spent 40 minutes trying to revive him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department tells us that a call came in around 7:05 a.m. regarding an unidentified man who was not breathing. Blake's rep confirmed his passing to multiple outlets.
Heron checked out of rehab only days ago, according to the outlet, and was allegedly sick with the flu.

Name: Deb Caletti
Age: Real life: 51. In my head: 37. On bad days: 14.
College & Majors/Minors: Communications/Journalism
Current Location: Seattle
Current Form of Employment: Writer
Where do you work and what is your current position?
Officially: Award-winning author and a National Book Award finalist whose books, He's Gone; Honey, Baby, Sweetheart; The Last Forever; The Secrets She Keeps are published and translated worldwide.
Unofficially: I work at home in my pajamas, writing books for adults and young adults. I have to put on real clothes when I go on tour.
Tell us about how you found your first job, and how you found your current job (if different).
Being a writer isn't exactly a job you "find." It sort of found me, when I was about seven. It never left. After having various jobs and then two children, I got serious about the dream and the craft of writing. Since I studied journalism, I had only taken one creative writing class in my life. I was an avid reader, however, and all the books I ever read - good and bad - were my teachers (and still are). I wrote one book and was able to get an agent. Four books later, we got a three-book publishing deal with Simon & Schuster that launched my career.
What was another writing-related job that was important in your career?
I worked for an adult education company, and did quite a lot of PR-related writing.
What did you do in college to prepare for your post-grad life?
Read lots and lots of books. Had life experiences that I could bring to my later fiction. Practiced writing stories and plays. Got encouragement for those stories and plays, even though they seem pretty silly now. Tried to be bold. Experienced rejection and realized I could live through it.
What is your advice for students and graduates with an English degree?
Try to determine what it is that you love. Do that.

Seven-try Ulster decimate Treviso on historic night for Andrew Trimble
Ulster got back in the winning groove again after the Guinness PRO12's three-week sabbatical and annihilated Treviso 48-7 in a seven-try romp which took them up to third in the table overnight.
On the night when Andrew Trimble made a record 190th Ulster appearance, they turned on the afterburners with Trimble's fellow winger Craig Gilroy getting over for two tries.
Ulster's other tryscorers were Dan Tuohy, Sean Reidy, Paul Marshall, Peter Browne and Lewis Stevenson, with Stuart McCloskey kicking three conversions and a penalty while Peter Nelson slotted two conversions.
Ulster's cause was also helped by Treviso being reduced to 13 men at the end of the first half.
The recalled Tuohy opened the scoring for the home side after just six minutes and McCloskey converted. That soon became 10-0 after McCloskey slotted a penalty.
After the Ulster centre missed with his next shot at goal, and Jayden Hayward did likewise for the Italians, Ulster bagged their second try when Reidy drove over from a maul.
McCloskey converted to make it 17-0 and Treviso's ill-discipline then cost them dear, with yellow cards being shown in quick succession to both prop Rupert Harden and number eight Robert Barbieri.
The net result was the inevitable concession of more tries, with Marshall getting over first and then Gilroy scoring a trademark try by weaving his way through a thicket of defenders to grab the bonus point.
McCloskey missed both conversions but Ulster looked out of sight at half-time on the back of their 27-0 lead.
After Sam Christie's score for the Italians, converted by Hayward, Ulster upped the ante again.
Browne crossed in the 55th minute, McCloskey converting, and Gilroy's try and Nelson's conversion took the score beyond 40.
Stevenson went over the Italians' line in the closing stages to complete the rout with the help of another Nelson conversion.

San Francisco 49ers
After 14 new additions, here's what a 49ers depth chart looks like
Here's a rough depth chart composed by me, not the team, after the 49ers added 14 free agents over the last three weeks. Those free agents are highlighted in italics.
WR: Pierre Garçon, Aaron Burbridge, DeAndre Smelter, Eric Rogers*
LT: Joe Staley, John Theus
LG: Zane Beadles
C: Daniel Kilgore, Alex Balducci
RG: Joshua Garnett
RT: Trent Brown, Norman Price
TE: Logan Paulsen, Garrett Celek
TE: Vance McDonald, Je'Ron Hamm
WR: Marquise Goodwin, Aldrick Robinson, DeAndre Carter, Chris Harper
SWR: Jeremy Kerley, Bruce Ellington, Rashad Ross
QB: Bryan Hoyer, Matt Barkley
FB/HB: Kyle Juszczyk, Blake Bell
RB: Carlos Hyde, Mike Davis, Raheem Mostert
LDE: Arik Armstead, Ronald Blair, Zach Moore
LDT: DeForest Buckner, Quinton Dial
RDT/NT: Earl Mitchell, Mike Purcell
RDE: Aaron Lynch, Tank Carradine
SLB: Ahmad Brooks, Eli Harold
MLB: NaVorro Bowman, Brock Coyle, Carl Bradford, Shayne Skov
WLB: Malcolm Smith, Ray-Ray Armstrong, Wynton McManis
LCB: Tramaine Brock, Keith Reaser, Prince Charles Iworah
RCB: Rashard Robinson, Dontae Johnson
NCB: Will Redmond, K'Waun Williams, JaCorey Shepherd
SS: Eric Reid, Jaquiski Tartt, Marcus Ball, Vinnie Sunseri
FS: Jimmie Ward, Don Jones
Some explanations:
* It's hard to figure out where former first-round picks Arik Armstead and DeForest Buckner will play. Their similar statures work well as bookends in a 3-4 lineup. The defense the 49ers will use this year calls for specific types. It's likely that one will be the three technique (lining get up between guard and tackle) in the base defense and the other will be the five-technique (lining up outside of the tackle). Michael Bennett, for example, plays the five technique for the Seahawks. If he is considered the prototype for this type of defense, then perhaps it's another player, Aaron Lynch, who is best for this spot. Of the 49ers' defenders, Lynch is most similar to Bennett. But a bigger player also can man this spot. Before Bennett arrived in Seattle, Red Bryant played five technique. And he was listed at "323" pounds (cough). Asked at the combine about the likely arrangement, general manager John Lynch said it's something coaches will decide in the offseason.
* That right defensive end spot, dubbed the "Leo" by Pete Carroll, is where the team's best pass rusher lines up. Who's the 49ers' best pass rusher? It might be Lynch, it might be Ahmad Brooks or the Leo might be arriving in the draft. Maybe it's Tank Carradine whom the 49ers have miscast to this point in his career. This is a key position and a major mystery spot at the moment.
* Brooks is the best fit at the strong-side linebacker spot, which plays along the line of scrimmage and is similar to a 3-4 outside linebacker. This player has to be strong enough to set the edge on running plays and fleet enough to cover tight ends at times. If Brooks is in shape -- and to his credit, he was last year -- he's the team's most athletic/dynamic edge player.
* I don't know how Kyle Shanahan will divvy up his receivers, only that Garçon will play split end or X receiver.
* The 49ers have added 14 players (K Robbie Gould is not included above) in a short amount of time, but there still are obvious hole at: all of the offensive line spots; running back depth and, as mentioned above, both edge spots (right defensive end and backup strong-side linebacker).
* I put newcomers ahead of incumbents because most of the newcomers are familiar with the schemes the coaches will install and will have a head start when practices commence
* Rogers is coming off of an ACL injury.

Detroit relievers Joe Jimenez (4-3) and closer Shane Greene got tagged. BOSTON (AP) — So much for the Red Sox only beating up on baseball's weaklings.After Yankees general manager Brian Cashman cast doubt on the quality of Boston's record heading into their series at Fenway Park, the Red Sox swept four games from their AL East rivals to expand their lead in the division to a season-high 9 1/2 games.Noting that the Red Sox had been 4-5 against New York before the series Cashman said, "You wonder what their record would be if they weren't playing us."The words made their way around the Boston clubhouse."Yeah, we saw it," outfielder Mookie Betts said. "We weren't paying it any attention. We know what we are, we know what we can do and we went out and showed it."J.D. Martinez singled in a pair of runs to key a ninth-inning rally and Andrew Benintendi drove in the game-winner in the 10th on Sunday night to help the Red Sox complete the sweep. After coming to Boston with hopes of closing the gap in the division, the Yankees left with a renewed focus on the wild-card race."Everybody knew how big this series was," Benintendi said. "We came in and did what we wanted to do. Kind of stole this one. Every win counts the same Albert Pujols Jersey , but now again we have to re-shift our focus toward Toronto."The Red Sox had the day off on Monday before opening a three-game series against the Blue Jays. That gave them a little extra time to enjoy their best-in-baseball record of 79-34 — 45 games above .500 (and just one game below .700) for the first time since Ted Williams returned from World War II to lead the 1946 team to a 104-50 record.The Yankees are stuck in a season-high five-game losing streak. It was just the seventh time they have been swept by the Red Sox in a series of four or more games in the last 100 seasons. (Of course, they also lost four straight in the 2004 AL Championship Series.)"A tough way to obviously end a tough weekend," New York manager Aaron Boone said. "But we can't let this define what's been a great season."The Yankees were on the verge of snapping their skid on Sunday night before closer Aroldis Chapman walked the bases loaded in the ninth and then, with two out, J.D. Martinez singled in a pair of runs. Jackie Bradley Jr. scored from first on a throwing error by third baseman Miguel Andujar to send the game into extra innings.In the 10th, Benintendi bounced one up the middle to score Tony Renda, who came in as a pinch runner to make his major league debut, to win it.Boston improved to 7-3 in extra-inning games and has four walk-off wins in its last 13 games at Fenway. The Red Sox have a best-in-baseball 11 sweeps this season while not getting swept themselves at all.They are 8-5 against the Yankees, putting to rest any doubts Cashman might have had when he said: "You wonder what their record would be if they weren't playing us. Because when we go head to head, we do some damage against them and it doesn't seem like anybody else is capable."Asked about the comments before the series, Red Sox manager Alex Cora avoided adding to the controversy."Don't lead me into that one," he said. "He also said that he would love to be in our position, that he respects the way we're playing. I leave it at that."

AN EX-Naval officer who admitted photographing young children as he sexually abused them, and then sending the images to other paedophiles, has been jailed for 14 years.
Geoffrey Rooney, aged 39, of Camperdown Street, Devonport, pleaded guilty to a string of offences including the rape of a child aged under 13 and sexually assaulting girl aged under 13.
Appearing at Plymouth Crown Court, Rooney made no response as Judge Paul Darlow told the former Chief Petty Officer he had caused the "destruction of a happy home life" in relation to the family of two of his victims.
He said that Rooney's actions "demonstrate all the casual callous depravity of a predatory paedophile".
As Rooney, dressed in a black suit, white shirt and grey tie, stood in the dock, prosecutor Jason Beale told the court how the former weapons engineer was arrested following the arrest of another man on January 9 last year whose wife found indecent pictures on his mobile phone.
The images were traced to Rooney who had asked the man to bring his own children to him for sexual abuse.
Rooney was interviewed and his mobile phone seized. The 39-year-old immediately admitted to his sexual interest in children and downloading indecent images of young children.
The court heard Rooney had pleaded guilty last May to raping a girl aged under 13, sexually assaulting another girl aged under 13, taking indecent photos of children, making indecent photos of children, distributing indecent photos of children with other suspected paedophile, sexually assaulting a boy aged under 16 and possessing indecent images of children.
Mr Beale explained how police discovered that Rooney had messaged other men "giving real time commentary" as he sexually abused one of the girls and sent nine pictures to dozens of men of him raping and sexually abusing the youngest child.
The court heard Rooney had also taken pictures of the backside of another very young boy and forwarded them onto other suspected paedophiles.
Police found hundreds of indecent photos and films on his mobile phone, ranging from category A, the most depraved including penetrative sexual activity with a child, including sadism and bestiality, to category C, the least indecent.
In mitigation, Nick Lewin, for Rooney, claimed his client was remorseful, but he questioned the current "harm" caused to the children due to their very young age.
In reply, Judge Darlow said: "For the moment, [but] who knows what may come back to haunt them."
He also noted how Rooney had volunteered most of the offences to police, had no previous convictions and argued he should be credited for his "exemplary behaviour in service of the Royal Navy."
Mr Lewin said Rooney had carried out a number of courses while in prison, and held a "very significant trusted position" as a "mentor" and "listener" to prison 'lifers'.
He also said the offences – an "isolated aberration" – took place over a very short space of time and the judge could sentence Rooney "safe in the knowledge that these are isolated incidents".
The father of two of his very young victims bravely took to the witness box to describe how Rooney's "sickening" crime had affected his family.
Often fighting back tears the father – who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victims – explained how the call from police about the images of his children was "utterly devastating".
He said: "That day has changed my life and that of my family forever."
He said he has been unable to return to full time work, is now untrusting of people and is under medical care for the stress and trauma of having to identify his own children from the sickening images. He said it has left him suffering unexpected and horrific flashbacks, describing how one of his child sucking on a toy left him in agony, particularly as understands the images "are to be shared and copied by paedophiles the world over, forever."
He said Rooney's "sick perversion", particularly how he "gloated with others" as he abused the children was "completely incomprehensible".
Fighting back tears, the father described how he has had to hold his crying children down as numerous doctors subjected them to a myriad of medical tests to ensure they had not contracted sexually transmitted diseases.
He said he has seen medical records which have been flagged up to social services and "fear we will forever be prejudged by doctors."
"What this man has done to me, my family, other families, is nothing short of horrific."
Outside court, the family of the two youngest victims issued a statement: "We've been through something no family should ever have to deal with. It has been heart-breaking and horrific.
"Rooney appeared to be a normal, middle-aged man, with a good career in the Royal Navy, a mortgage and a long-term relationship.
"Behind that he was a devious and manipulative child rapist who preyed on the vulnerability of families. He betrayed the trust of everyone around him.
Det Con Pete Shotton, lead investigator, said: "Rooney was a manipulator, without question. He used his skills to groom children. He was entrenched in the sexual abuse of children. He would seek opportunities to abuse children.
Det Con Shotton said the investigation, titled Operation Darkling, was "still ongoing" and said if there were further victims who were in any way connected with this case, they should come forward.
