I will readily admit to being grumpy when Jose Lobaton's home run sailed over the fence in Tampa Bay's miserable excuse for a baseball park on Monday night.
It would have been great to see the Boston Red Sox sweep the Rays and get plenty of rest before the American League Championship Series, or ALCS (an abbreviation that sounds uncomfortably like a disease).
But it wasn't meant to be, and I just clicked off the TV before Lobaton lumbered all the way around the bases, and I went to bed.

I just made my first order, I didn't know they had $5 shipping! The ridiculous shipping charges is what frustrates me more than anything when buying online. So what else am I missing out on? Where do you love to shop?
Fabric is so expensive, it limits my stash :-(
I use a number of online stores. Try Stitch-N-Frame--they have weekly specials. Sometimes great fabric for $5 yd. I also order from Whittles. Get on their email list--they get in new fabric every once in awhile, but I have bought great fabric from them for $5yd. Neither site charges outrageous shipping fees and I am always very happy with selection and quality.
I shop A LOT and many different places but really try to find the free shipping or anything over $35 is free. Something like that
Fabric.com has a huge selection. Some very cheap $4 - $5(don't know the quality) to $9 - $12
be glad you don't live in Canada. Our shipping is expensive, if your shipping is $5.00 there, here would be $15.00 or more. I on line shop from Connecting Threads, and they do ship to Canada.
I use thousands of bolts to buy a lot of my fabric. Also a place called fabric4less but you have to buy by the bolt and the shipping is like $16 but by the time you average the price of the yardage (16 yards) its a really good deal. I also buy from 5bucks a yard, connecting threads and on Ebay. All of them charge shipping till you reach $30 or $40 then its usually free. good luck!!
www.etsy.com/shopbluecranequilts/shop are online, with good prices, but keep in mind the shipping costs, US exchange, cross border, weight distance, ask it delivered by Canada Poste as lesser cost.. Good luck!
Thinking back, 1/2 metre or yard is classified as legal document, and pass as regular postage mail.. In long run piece at a time will add up.. Then ask for gift seal on envelope so border crossing amt to declare will be reduced. Some open a bank account in Canada, as long as you leave a certain mthly amt in account it might help reduce...
These are online that I use in California and the businesses are all over.
keepsake quilting.com
thats just a few and it's fun shopping online but once in awhile it gets me in trouble.
have fun sewing
$5.00 shipping for 1-7 yards is average or standard.

When it comes to media, trainwrecks and tragedy sell.
When it comes to media, trainwrecks and tragedy sell. Take, for instance, the Honey Boo Boo phenomenon. This "average" family has made fortunes on crude behavior. The sight of 'Mama June,' the rough-around-the-edges (a mild evaluation at best) matriarch of the family galumphing about in tow of her outspoken daughter makes many do a double-take, and keeps many coming back for more.
Even looking into the pages of the Lake Sun, the most heavily trafficked stories usually involve crime: the recent Dairy Queen scandal involving allegations of sexual abuse was the most-read story all year. The manhunt for a wanted kidnapper also ranks near the top of the list. The recent brutal murder of a teenage girl in Miller County broke hearts, but also boosted web traffic.
We publish a fair amount of warm-and-fuzzy stories, but they rarely get the same amount of attention as something negative.
Unfortunately, it seems as though Americans prefer to see the plight and downfall of others, perhaps as an avenue to look down from a self-imposed moral pedestal.
It's what sells.
But this column is not to bash the Lake Sun's readership on a dearth of heart, but to shed some light and provide perspective on a recent story that had some cringing, some laughing and many scratching their heads: the idea of a reality show starring the officers of the Lake Ozark Police Department and the lake itself.
Last week, we reported that the city's board of aldermen entertained the possibility of a production team following the LOPD and Water Patrol officers, potentially chronicling the comings-and-goings of police life in a tourist-driven area.
Police Chief Mark Maples and the board expressed optimism about what a television show could do to bolster the image of Lake Ozark.
No doubt that could happen, if a production company was looking to produce a promotional video about the wonders of the Strip or the beauty of life on the bend.
But that's not what sells.
It's not that the board doesn't have noble intentions with this situation, but the reality is that a production company is a business, they are in the market to make a profit, not to pander to a board in the market for a tourism video.
A few of the aldermen and city attorney Roger Gibbons have the right attitude: cautious skepticism regarding the filming. They question, rightfully, the ability to control filming. I'd venture that they'd have little.
What's most disturbing to me about the proposal is the willingness to stage an event should police life at the lake prove a little more uninteresting than anticipated.
The board discussed that production could stage a car chase should police activity stagnate. This opens a can worms that could allow the production company free reign over creating crime in Lake Ozark. What's to stop them, then, of staging bare-breasted women dancing atop pontoons, drunken fights in the heart of the Strip or a dangerous boat chase.
A potential "reality" show would detract from the image of Lake Ozark, not display the many positive points about life on the east side of the lake.
Unless the intended market the production company targets is a religious channel — which, at a lake that actually has a place dubbed "Party Cove," isn't likely — a television show featuring Lake Ozark will damage the reputation of a city still climbing out of poor decisions from years past.
While I believe the board has honest intentions, I can't say the same for a production company whose primary interest is the bottom line.
It's time to urge the board to stick with solving problems the city currently faces instead of opening the door for more issues than a small city can handle.
Otherwise, we might see a promotional tagline of "Came on vacation, left on probation" in the not-so-distant future.

1) Creation vs Evolution (guess what portion of Bible)
2) somewhere else (since that is where Tim O'Neill asked me to preach to atheists)
3) Great Bishop of Geneva (against Reformation in its various forms, but recently also against Vatican II).
Then there is my blog of 4) musicalia (compositions, some music theory)
Then there are my three main blogs, increasingly just bilingual English/French
5) deretour (2008 to 2012, 633 messages)
6) Trivium, Quadrivium et cætera (2011 - 2013, 400 messages)
7) New blog on the kid (2013 to present, 900+ messages)
Then there are blogs related to media where previously written
8) Assorted retorts (English, forums and youtube comboxes)
9) Répliques assorties (same in French)
10) Antworten nach Sorte (same in German)
11) Correspondentia (email exchanges, all languages)
12) HGL's FB Writings (facebook statuses of myself or friends leading to debates, all languages)
Then there are language specific blogs:
13) På svenska og på dansk på Antimodernism (Swedish and Da/No)
14) Auf Deutsch auf Antimodernism
both Swedish and German being better known to me, but less known to most readers than French and English
15) En lengua romance en Antimodernism y de mis caminaciones
(Spanish, Italian, Latin, other weaker languages, like Polish and Lithuanian, all weaker than French and English + narrative and poetry - it includes my transscript of Bishop Tempier's 1277 Paris condemnations in Latin, according to the systematisation by someone who noted the theses were condemned Parisius et in Anglia - in Paris diocese and all dioceses of England back then)
Above were continued after MSN Group Antimodernism went down
16) En français sur Antimodernism
The fifty messages I had written in French before the MSN Groups went down, not continued since later French writings are on main blogs
Since some language specific blogs make reference to the MSN Group
17) MSN Group Antimodernism in memoriam, where I complain about Bill Gates shutting MSN Groups down in 2009 and publish English items from them which don't fit Assorted retorts better
Then there are more theme specific blogs:
18) Recipes from Home and Abroad (and practical tips too - all languages)
19) gmb1lou (mainly on French/Belgian comics and in French)
20) haiku (French only)
21 - 25) on my Pilgrimage to Santiago in 2004, also in French, 17 messages and dates per blog (wanted to make each blog fairly overseeable)
Two more blogs in Swedish:
26) Troget och gratis - material so urgent I ask no remuneration for its copying, and where only conditions is not to change the text (includes two kind of 17th C Lutheran style hymns, except they are Catholic in content)
27) vecka vij - a challenge blog which was never responded to and therefore abandoned.
28) One finished blog in Swedish and English : Litavisk kulturhistoria - transferred from the MSN Group and it was an Academic, third semester paper, with lots of acknowledged copypasting from three sources, two encyclopaedic one other, and my own text in between as joining the two others.
As with the pilgrimage, I thought it was worth a separate blog.
29) another blog called "deretour" which links in alphabetic order to the many labels of my main blog so called, and to labels in the musicalia blog, the recipes blog and in gmb1 lou - if you know what you look for and don't know where to find it, and if it is on any of these four blogs, you will find a redirect to it's proper label here.
30) Vivlijohrafika - listing and linking to online material related to my inspirations (GKC among others)
31) a blog with very little content : on the first message I proposed to conduct interviews - no willing interviewees showed up, but it is about survivors having gone through a certain French low grade intermediate camp in Villeneuve St Georges
32) a blog where I was trying to compare the contents of two catechisms, a Roman Catholic and a Russian Orthodox one, Trentine Catechism and Philaret of Moscow Catechism (the latter inspired the structure of Pope St Pius X's) - it contains the commandments of the first tablet, with the two very similar comments, except that RC considers honouring parents as belonging to second tablet and divides differently - it also has pages, where I link to First Council of Toledo and to that Ukrainean Mariologist who considers Palamas as believing what RC's believe - and explains how the Skirzhal made a difference
33) other blog with non-own content, Palaeocritti back up blog - actually, it was not necessary to make one, if palaeocritti.com is no longer theirs, you can still arrive there with same other specifications and google site palaeocritti - my last message on blog celebrates fact the content survived even if I hadn't had time to copy all to my back up blog, and give the new adress.
34) Φιλολoγικά/Philologica - all things philological, from AD history of ideas to early post-Flood and pre-Flood reconstructable or per tradition history
35) Latinitatis morphologia simplificata - doesn't mean I simplify the endings, only the space the paradigms take on a paper. Sure, a Latin noun has 6*2 forms, but the plural forms has two obligatory syncretisms, sure, Latin verbs have 4 and a half regular and some irregular verb conjugations, but each tense/mood has "maximally four divergent ways" of forming it (I screwed that one on II audeo, irregular eo, IV audio, since II -ent 3pl differs in formation from -eunt/-iunt of the two others) - also contains a page with some very simple lessons in syntax, simply translating well known songs into Latin prose, by literal rendering.
36) There is a blog which is also a kind of a junk blog - in my own view (I know some of my critics would consider more than one of above such).
It originated as an extreme short blog to test a readabiluty test.
The readability test is there no more, my test showed its unreliability.
Then I saved short links parallel with full links on it - but my favourite url burners from back then went down.
Now I reuse it is solution messages for quizzes or sudokus.
So, why don't I just put all on one blog? Well, with near 5000 posts, having different blogs helps limit the search on each, if you see which is the right one. Favouring readers of long standing, of course.
Thanks, Sparko, for telling how I add the link here!
1) Most common : citing a post, but linking only to entire blog.
If you linked to HGL's FB Writings, but not specific post back in "dimanche 2 décembre 2012", you would still a few days be very well placed to see the article "My Innocence About the Vice of Curiosity", since it was published that day, but from "mardi 4 décembre 2012" a little less so, since I then added on top of it "Oscar Wilde and Perry Lorenzo" and by now it would be hopeless to find what I referred to back then if I only linked to blog. If instead I link to specific message (a somewhat longer url, one which makes url burners feel welcome), this problem disappears.
2) Second most common : the payment runs out for a paid site.
Up to beginning of this year, you could find Tupuxuara on:
Now this doesn't work, because the team behind the site only paid for up to this year.
But the part http://www.palaeocritti.com was a paid shortcut to an adress still functioning, since for free:
So, Tupuxuara can now as previously still be found on
3) Least common, someone actually changed the url of his blog.
Now, one problem I don't think you were primarily thinking of is 404 - no such page found on blog or no such blog found. Because that is a problem with sites which are not identifiable as blogs. Sites that are professional in apparent nature. Edit: also.

Thanks, Sparko, for telling how I add the link here!
So we allow links to personal sites or advertising a book someone wrote only in the signature block unless specific permission is given to a member from the staff. We also don't allow links to other forums.
On the one one called Assorted retorts, there is also a lot of profanity, since some of my atheist opponents have been a bit free with their language (not direct blasphemy, that I have edited out, I think).
Thanks, Sparko, for telling how I add the link here!
1. we don't consider your "feel free to print" as a problem as long as you only keep that link in your signature
2. If your link goes directly to pages with strong profanity, we will disallow it. If it is buried and takes some digging to get to, then that is OK.
This one is not my debate blog, but my apologetics against atheism blog, meaning I give bad tempered atheists lots less air time on this blog than on the debate blog.
Thanks, Sparko, for telling how I add the link here!

The Effect of Diet and Exercise in Heart Failure

- How to Read a Study Record
A growing number of people in this country are overweight or obese. This is concerning as increasing weight has been shown to increase the risk of developing heart failure. However, there is also research to suggest that in people who already have heart failure, heavier people live longer. So, how does being overweight put a person at risk for heart failure, but once they have heart failure, protect them? There is no clear explanation for this dilemma.
People who are obese commonly have other diseases, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, that increase the risk of developing heart disease. It is this group of diseases that is referred to as "The Metabolic Syndrome." People with the metabolic syndrome also have increased levels of inflammation and clotting proteins in their blood stream. Current treatment of the metabolic syndrome involves using medications for cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes. Diet and exercise are also commonly recommended.
"Lifestyle intervention programs" are programs that help people lose weight by changing their eating habits and exercise / activity routines. Weight loss and exercise have been shown to lower the risk of developing diabetes and improve diabetes control, improve cholesterol abnormalities, and lower blood pressure. These programs have not previously included heart failure patients, however.
We hypothesize that using a lifestyle intervention program in addition to the usual medications for heart failure will result in improved symptoms of heart failure and control of the metabolic syndrome.
This study will be the first research study to look at the use of diet and exercise in treating heart failure patients who are overweight / obese with "the metabolic syndrome." The study will last 6 months. From this study we hope to learn whether diet and exercise is helpful in treating heart failure patients who are overweight. Specifically, the study will look at the short term effects on cardiac risk factors (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar), heart failure symptoms, and exercise capacity.

Juan Mata's goal for Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham at Wembley again drew attention to the issue of goal-line technology.
The Spaniard's effort did not cross the line but referee Martin Atkinson awarded the goal and Chelsea were handed a 2-0 lead. Tottenham did pull a goal back, but Chelsea went on to win 5-1.
Goal-line technology was approved in principle by football's law-makers in March and the first system could be in place at the end of this year. The International FA Board (IFAB) announced they will go forward with final tests on two goal-line systems - British company Hawkeye's and GoalRef, a German-Danish firm - ahead of an ultimate decision in July.

Who's Got Next? Poythress Picks, Carter Commits and More…Posted by Josh Paunil on November 17th, 2011
Who's Got Next? is a weekly column by Josh Paunil, the RTC recruiting guru. We encourage you to check out his website dedicated solely to college basketball recruiting, National Recruiting Spotlight, for more detailed recruiting information. Once a week he will bring you an overview of what's going on in the complex world of recruiting, from who is signing where among the seniors to who the hot prospects are at the lower levels of the sport. If you have any suggestions as to areas we're missing or different things you'd like to see, please let us know at email@example.com.
Lead Story: Poythress Picks Kentucky, UK Still Able To Nab Number One Recruiting Class
Big Blue Nation Has Reason To Rejoice. Don't lie Kentucky fans, you were worried about not getting the number one recruiting class for the fourth straight year. You tweeted about it, you posted on message boards about it, you wrote on Facebook about it. But when Class of 2012 small forward Alex Poythress decided to join Big Blue Nation last Thursday, head coach John Calipari kept his 2012 class in the running to be rated as the top collection of talent in the country. The 6'7″, 220-pound wing joins shooting guard Archie Goodwin and center Willie Cauley as Coach Cal's commitments so far with top senior targets small forward Shabazz Muhammad and power forwards Anthony Bennett and Jarnell Stokes still out there. Poythress had a terrific summer and showed the ability to consistently get to the bucket, finish in traffic and an improved perimeter shot. At times, he's simply unstoppable when he attacks the rim and he's able to impact the game in a number of ways whether it's defense, rebounding or running the floor. He fits in well with Calipari's system and will thrive with Goodwin and Cauley running the floor with him. At this point, the Wildcats have the second-best recruiting class in the country only behind Arizona's ridiculous haul of talent but with another commitment or two they could reign supreme for the fourth straight year.
What They're Saying:
- Senior standout Robert Upshaw's mother, Ceylon Sherman, on her son choosing Kansas State: "It was a close run, he had a lot of great schools, but when it came down to it, him and all of us family just all had Kansas State. For Robert, it was about how much he liked the guys out there. He had chemistry with them."

Biofuel mandates in the energy bill signed last year could result in significantly higher corn and soybean use for fuel than would have occurred under pre-mandate policies, said economists at the University of Missouri.
Production of corn-based ethanol goes up 24 percent and soydiesel goes up 89 percent under one set of assumptions in analyzing the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, according to the MU Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI).
"Increased biofuel use results in higher prices for corn, soybeans and other crops," said Pat Westhoff, senior analyst at MU FAPRI. This brings a $3.4 billion increase in U.S. average annual net farm income under one scenario.
"To generate mandated levels of biofuel, prices paid to producers must be higher than they otherwise would have been," Westhoff said. "The energy bill results in a 17 percent increase in average wholesale prices for corn-based ethanol and a 37 percent price increase for biodiesel.
"The energy law will have greater impact on farm commodity prices than any farm bill being considered," Westhoff said. Mandates to use set levels of biofuels increase demand for corn and vegetable oil and affect market-driven prices more than current or proposed farm bills.
FAPRI analyzed impacts of mandates using computer models of agriculture in the United States and the world. Results will be used to project agricultural baselines given to Congress annually. Those are expected by March 1.
In this analysis, economists used an implied mandate of 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol and 1 billion gallons of soydiesel. Mandates for other alternative fuels, such as cellulosic ethanol, are in the bill but were not analyzed.
Westhoff said many assumptions are necessary for any analysis of outcomes from the energy bill. "The biggest unknown is price of petroleum," he said. "If oil remains above $80 per barrel, corn-based ethanol production might exceed 15 billion gallons even without a mandate."
In the analysis, FAPRI looked at five scenarios, with three related to new mandates. Westhoff said the 28-page report looks at a small part of "very large and very complex legislation." Only corn-based ethanol and soy biodiesel were considered.
Legislated demand increases corn use by 1.1 billion bushels annually from 2011 to 2016 relative to pre-energy-bill markets. About 30 percent of that increase comes from more corn production. Another 30 percent comes from reduced corn exports, while the remainder comes from cuts in livestock feed and other domestic uses.
In the same period, soy oil use increases by 2.7 billion pounds on average. About half of that comes from reduced food oil exports with reduced domestic use and increased soy oil production accounting for the rest.
"Strong demand for corn and soybeans translates into higher prices for those commodities," Westhoff said. The report shows corn prices going up an average 8 percent and soy oil up 36 percent. Soybean prices increase by an average of 9 percent.
Price increases ripple through other commodities. Wheat goes up by 3 percent as substitutions occur.
On the other hand, soy meal prices fall with increased bean crush. Also, more distillers grains, coproducts of ethanol, come to market in competition with other feeds.
To meet demand, corn harvest expands by an average of 2 million acres per year in response to higher prices. However, soybean acres remain essentially unchanged. Higher soybean prices are offset by competition for corn acreage. Modest reductions occur in total acreage of other major crops.
The results Westhoff cited are based on one of three scenarios for implementing the energy bill. This assumes basics of the energy bill go into effect and that current biofuel tax credits and tariff protections remain. For example, tax credits for blenders of ethanol and gasoline are set to expire in 2010. Conventional wisdom is that they will be renewed. The FAPRI analysis also includes the no-tax, no-tariff alternative.
"Impacts of the energy bill on the livestock sector are sensitive to how the bill is implemented," Westhoff said. "All else equal, higher corn prices mean higher feed costs for livestock producers, which mean less meat and milk production. Consumer food costs could go up."
All else may not be equal, Westhoff said. Producing more biodiesel requires more soybean oil. When soybeans are crushed to make oil for biodiesel, soybean meal is also produced. That means lower prices for soybean meal, a major livestock feed supplement.
"In one scenario, feed costs increased by an average of $750 million per year because of the energy bill," Westhoff said. "However, in another scenario the net change in feed costs was very small. The results depend on many factors, including how large the increases are in ethanol and biodiesel production."
Price analysis is difficult with unstable world petroleum production and pricing. "If oil prices fall sharply from present levels, then market demand for ethanol could drop sharply. This suggests mandates could have a much larger effect on farm commodity prices compared to a no-mandate policy."
The energy bill analysis was based on an agricultural baseline presented to Congress a year ago. "As Congress considers a new farm bill, we need a baseline that reflects current law, and the energy bill is now law of the land," Westhoff said.
Provisions in the energy bill will be part of the 2008 baseline that FAPRI will develop next. "The 2008 baseline could change both short-term and long-term projections," Westhoff said. "Consider this a preliminary report, contingent on a wide-range of assumptions."
The report is available on the MU FAPRI Web site at www.fapri.missouri.edu.
FAPRI is part of a multi-state university think tank that studies policy implications of legislation from the U.S. Congress. Funding comes in part from the Agricultural Experiment Station, a part of the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.

Hey guys it's me, beloved forum member samuelzz10! (not) I just made this a few hours ago, so it could use some improvement. Enjoy
First off, ghost buster stats:
Armor: 1d6+3 (attacked by living creatures) 3d6 (fighting ghosts)
Skill: 1d8
Move: 6"
Contractually obliged to not kill living creatures:
A ghost buster can only attack the dead.
Eyes of the dead:
Even though they wear special goggles, they are the only ones that can see ghosts.
IS NOT THE SAME AS NORMAL MEKANIK! can only repair damaged equipment
Now, scenario and weaponry:
The scenario ties in with about any battle, but here are teh rules. Whenever a 5th unit is killed, their ghost appears on the field. use what you want to represent one. A ghost can posses the living, and in that case the ghostbuster has to kill him, unless he is a hero or higher. in that case, he is just stunned for 2 turns after being cured. A ghost can also provoke animals and haunt machinery. feel free to make several preset ghost stats that do specific things. A team cannot win a game until all ghosts are killed. If even one is standing, you lose. Ghostbusters are limited to 4 per team. If all busters die, you lose.
Proton pack: not really a weapon, but without one a ghostbuster cannot kill ghosts. If it is destroyed, and it isn't repaired within 3 turns, a 20" radius 4d10 explosion occurs.
Proton cannon: a weapon used to kill ghosts. It is 2d6, and it can kill ghosts, vampires, zombies, and mummies. (also skeletons) If 2 ghostbusters cross the beams, a 4d10 20" radius explosion occurs. It can kill the living, but then he has to banhammer himself because he disobeyed his contract.
Goggles: what allows ghostbusters to see ghosts. They are the only ones that can use them, but even then if they are broken they have to roll over 4 on a 1d6 to see a ghost, in sight, not 360 degrees.
Slime cannon: same weapon as Proton cannon, but it takes a turn to change ammunition. it can slow vehicles.

Feb. 28, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Freshman Erich Bracht capped a tremendous first season with the men's basketball program by being named NEWMAC Rookie of the Year by the league's head coaches, Tuesday afternoon. Bracht was also named Second Team All-Conference, while sophomore Jimmy Bartolotta copped First Team All-Conference plaudits.
Bracht was a double-double machine for the Engineers (14-13), reaching double figures in scoring and rebounding 10 times during the campaign. A gifted offensive player with great touch around the basket, Bracht led the NEWMAC in field goal percentage and is currently ranked 12th in the nation among all shooters, while the rookie from Highlands Ranch, Colo., smashed the Institute record for field goal percentage in a season (.627).
Bartolotta, another Colorado native from Littleton, was one of only two players considered for the league's prestigious postseason Player of the Year honor. The standout sophomore conceded the conference's top individual honor to WPI senior Ryan Cain, but Bartolotta still assembled one of the best seasons in program history after finishing the season ranked first in the league in scoring (21.2), third in rebounding (8.7), third in assists (4.3), fourth in blocks (1.1) and sixth in steals (2.1). He also led the league in free-throw shooting en route to an MIT single-season record (.866).
Bartolotta, who leads the nation in free throws made, ranks among the NCAA's top 100 in points, rebounds, assists, and free-throw shooting. He is also a finalist for ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honors.
Cain was a preseason All-America pick and he earned his second player of the year award after leading WPI to its fourth consecutive NEWMAC regular-season crown. Stephen Brennan, who orchestrated a six-game turnaround for Babson en route to second place in the team standings, was named NEWMAC Coach of the Year. Coast Guard head coach Pete Barry accepted the league's first Sportsmanship Award on behalf of the Bears.
Bracht is the third player in the history of MIT basketball to earn Rookie of the Year honors from a conference affiliate. Craig Heffernan was named Constitution Athletic Conference (CAC) Rookie of the Year after the 1997-98 season, while Bartolotta secured the NEWMAC's top rookie accolade last season.

Eastern and Central European Kitchen, TheContemporary and Classic RecipesSilvena Rowe; photography by Jonathan Lovekin
published 2007 8 1/4" x 10 1/4 • 192 pages • full-color photographs
"A timeless guide to both the traditions and the trends of Eastern and Central European cooking. Rowe...presents a worldly view of the region's truly robust flavors, ripe with custom and tradition...Rather than centering the chapters around specific courses, the author uses them to focus on topics that are particularly important to Eastern and Central European food...The great diversity of dishes, illustrated with lush, journalistic photography, is a brilliant lens with which readers can view this vibrant culinary culture. A fresh look at an exciting, often-overlooked cuisine."Kirkus Reviews
Winner of the Glenfiddich Best Photography Award The fresh ingredients and unfamiliar flavor combinations of Central and Eastern Europe are capturing the imaginations of gourmet stores and restaurants in the West, as borders open up and Europe is extended. We're enjoying dishes such as goulash, stroganoff, pierogi and borscht as we feast on a wealth of culinary traditions that stretches back for generations. Silvena Rowe turns to countries such as Hungary, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, Georgia, Russia, and the Ukraine for her inspiration. She cooks game with sweet-and-sour stuffing, sauces and marinades; smoked fish; wild mushrooms; fruits such as quince, figs and pomegranates; and seeds and grains such as lentils, pearl barley and poppy seeds. She plunders the traditions of the poor and wealthy alike in her quest to bring us a taste of what is put upon the tables in these countries. The food is untamed and the flavors are strong.Alongside Silvena's recipes are photographs of the food markets, farms, homes, grand cafés and restaurants of Eastern and Central Europe by renowned photographer Jonathan Lovekin.As the author describes in her book: "The soups vary from the hearty winter warmers of Hungary to light, delicate, chilled summer soups; the stews encompass goulash and the aromatic braised lamb recipes of Georgia; and there are legions of dumplings, including the classic pierogi, the delicate uszka, the savory leniwe and the hearty pyzy. Subtle, yet forceful, marinades; pickles and preserves; smoked fish, sausages, and meats—they all play a role in this rich and almost unknown treasure trove that can rival the culinary cultures of France and Italy in its depth and breadth."

Media Reviews
As Italian cookbooks crowd bookstores and Spanish tapas bars multiply, Western European dishes have become part of our daily repertoire. Meanwhile, the foods eaten just to the eastin Hungary or Ukraine, for examplehaven't yet made our radar. Silvena Rowe
may change all that. With that in mind, she's compiled a blend of modern twists and traditional regional dishes
Unlike many cookbooks that focus on the foods of far-flung regions, these recipes call for standard supermarket ingredients, instead using them in unusual ways. For exploratory cooks, it's a seductive and inspiring compilation. New York Daily News
We want to cook everything in this stunning new book. 'The Eastern and Central European Kitchen' throws the window open on cuisines that have heretofore been hidden from us
flavor combinations that are so fresh and imaginative that they shake a few preconceived notions out of our heads.
Rowe writes with a clarity that can be achieved only when the cuisine is mastered. As is typical with books from Interlink Books, the chapter introductions bring the culture to the reader and are as riveting as the recipes. In Mamas Kitchen

It was a dandy of a day for whoever was running the official NFL team Twitter feeds. First, the person manning @Redskins offered up a bit of unsolicited advice regarding the "awkwardness" of Tim Tebow being traded to the Jets. (You know, because THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS are in any sort of position to question another team's personnel decisions.)
Then late Wednesday night, someone took to Twitter on @nyjets to counter Drew Brees' incredulity over his team's Bountygate punishments. The offending @nyjets tweet has been deleted, but the exchange was screengrabbed for posterity. When Brees tweets that he can't believe his coach, Sean Payton, could've been suspended for the entire 2012 season, the Jets staff is there to talk some sense into Brees:
@drewbrees Know you're frustrated but if he had admitted instead of trying to cover it up, maybe Williams gets a suspended.
Oh, someone call the Wahmbulance! Get over yourself, you scrawny Super Bowl-winning pipsqueak! might have gotten across the same kind of point, but at least this was a tad more polite. Two hours after the tweet, the Jets formally apologized.

Family and friends have rallied to support Travis Lee McGraw, 46, charged with first-degree murder in the 2011 shooting death of his wife, Vanessa Mintz. Family and friends have posted $367,700 worth of property to help him get released on bail as he awaits a trial that could begin in August.
Family and friends have rallied to support Travis Lee McGraw, 46, charged with first-degree murder in the 2011 shooting death of his wife, Vanessa Mintz. Family and friends have posted $367,700 worth of property to help him get released on bail as he awaits a trial that could begin in August.
Family members of Mintz, a real estate broker who was working at her family's Saluda Mountain Lodge the night she was killed, have waited close to two-and-a-half years for a trial.
McGraw, who was released Monday, is now scheduled to appear in Polk County Superior Court on Aug. 12, but court officials were unsure Tuesday if a trial would begin on that date.
According to court records, McGraw's bail was secured through two properties from his mother, JoAnn London, valued at $126,200, and five properties valued at a total of $241,500 from family and friends. A local bondsman, Tim Tolar, covered the remaining $382,300 of McGraw's $750,000 bail.
Mintz's family members said they feared MGraw would flee once he was released, but the seven properties and Tolar's good faith money are now being used to secure McGraw's appearance in court.
A call to McGraw's mother went unanswered Tuesday night. The agency in charge of McGraw's bail declined to comment.
McGraw, a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force and former officer with the Fletcher Police Department, is ordered to have no contact with Mintz's family after his release.
Investigators believe Mintz, 53, was killed between the evening hours of Feb. 18, 2011 and the early morning hours of Feb. 19 in the employees' quarters of the lodge at 1793 Holbert Cove Road in Saluda.
Mintz died of a gunshot wound to the head. Investigators found a shotgun shell on the floor near the end of the bed.
McGraw was eating lunch at Cracker Barrel with his two children when he received a call from Mintz's daughter, Jessica Freeman, telling him to get to the lodge because "something had happened" to Mintz, according to court records.
A special agent with the State Bureau of Investigation received written consent from McGraw to search his 2005 red Chevrolet pickup. An unfired shotgun shell was found in the passenger side front door panel, matching the spent shell inside the employees' quarters, according to a report from SBI Special Agent Steven Modlin.
During an interview Feb. 19, McGraw told Assistant Special Agent in Charge J. M. Schandevel that he left the lodge at 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 18. He said Mintz had arrived at about 9 p.m. McGraw said he gave Mintz a hug and she had already changed into her pajamas.
McGraw was in a romantic relationship with another woman at the time. Schandevel said he spoke with the woman, Mary Beth Fisher, on Monday, Feb. 21. Fisher told police that McGraw talked about ending his marriage, but "he could not afford to."
According to Modlin's report, Fisher and McGraw planned to be together.
"Fisher gave McGraw a deadline for Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011, to let her know where their relationship was going," Modlin reported.

Brogan '88 'Makes Sense' of Ancient Creteby Karen Handley • October 17, 2013 Share:
Archaeologist Tom Brogan '88 will talk about recent discoveries made in three excavation sites on the island of Crete during a presentation Monday, October 21 in Baxter Hall 101.
In "Flavors, Aromas, and Bright Colors: Making 'Sense' of New Discoveries in Late Bronze Age Levels on Crete," Brogan will discuss recent archaeological recovery methods used by his team to record the food and drink of Bronze Age people, giving us a much more accurate picture of their lifestyles, daily activities, and even their "life of the senses."
Brogan is the director of INSTAP Student Center for East Crete. He received his undergraduate degree from Wabash College in 1988 and his MA and PhD degree from Bryn Mawr College. He has been an active member of several excavations in east Crete during the past 20 years, primarily at Mochlos. His research interests include Minoan material culture (pottery, weights, and architecture). His lecture will review his recent excavations at three Neopalatial settlements in East Crete: Papadiokambos, Mochlos, and Chrissi.
Brogan's talk is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.

A year ago I went to drinks to celebrate a friend's birthday after work. It was a casual affair, so I went straight from work in the dress I'd worn despite much contemplation. It was the end of the laundry cycle, and all the cute dresses were either buried in the bottom of the hamper or on house arrest at the dry cleaner's until I could afford to pick them up. What now? I donned a beige midi-length cotton dress that's lace in front and linen-like down the back, with a pleated skirt. Underneath it was my usual sheer-dress solution, a black cotton long sleeved T and black leggings. I paired it with brown Frye boots. I spent the whole night wondering if I looked like a hausfrau; my friends thought it was a combination of hilarious and true.
But the more I troll around online looking for cute loot at a great price, the more I'm seeing that this sort of early 20th-century gauzey house dress look is surprisingly in. And I am not even a little ashamed to say I totally love it. Now, this is one trend that your boyfriend won't understand. In fact, he might cringe at the sight of your new dress.
But if you take a page out of Taylor Swift's recent outfit books, you'll see that this look is totally now. Her Grammy performance dress, anyone? Okay, so the braid was overkill. But the dress was (oddly) hot.
Here are some of my personal favorites. Don't wanna join in on the fun? Suit yourself!

"This is a fundamental fairness issue," his attorney, Susan Gellman, a deputy public defender in El Dorado County, told a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle. "What we're talking about here is whether or not a citizen is able to make a decision about his case. When someone wants to go to trial for crazy reasons, or not go to trial for crazy reasons, that person is not competent." She noted persistent trouble communicating with Garrido during her more than 20 meetings with him at the jail.
As I explained in my analysis of the case in the Guardian of UK last August, psychiatric issues -- including competency and perhaps insanity -- are sure to be prominent in this case due to Garrido's history of religious delusions. Through the wonders of the Internet, I wrote at the time, we can "travel back in time and enter his mind, via rambling blog posts about voices in his head, mind control, and religious delusions of himself as the savior." (Amazingly, his contemporaneous "Voices Revealed" blog is still online, for those of you who want to take a gander.)
At Friday's court hearing in El Dorado County, Judge Douglas Phimister commented that he had spotted strange behavior during his limited observations of the defendant in court. At times, he noted, "Garrido aggressively scribbled notes in a pad even though little was going on in court."

Google shares hit a fresh all-time high on Tuesday, briefly catapulting the company into Apple's territory as one of the most valuable companies on the planet.
However, one analyst sees a "troubling long-term trend" for the search giant.
Colin Gillis, a tech analyst at BGC Partners, told CNBC that Google's declining advertising cost per click continues to be an issue for the company. Gillis has a $625 price target and a "hold" rating on Google shares.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he heard of raises to some State Police top brass, first reported by WNYT last night and the New York Post this morning, with "surprise and shock." The raises were approved last month by acting State Police Superintendent John Melville as state officials moved ahead with 891 public employee layoffs.
"We'll getting the facts, we'll be reviewing it. We're going through the budget process now as you know, we'll be looking at these very issues and we'll be looking at these specific raises through that process," Cuomo said.
"There are many areas throughout the state where the salary structure doesn't make sense," Cuomo said, noting that "routinely" deputy commissioners make more than their superiors, because some salaries are set in law.
"You have people who are making more money than their boss. This is, as bizarre as it sounds, it's common place throughout the state and it has been for years. It's also the case in the State Police," Cuomo said. (This is the case with one of his senior advisers now.) "The superintendent's salary — in charge of the State Police, the highest officer should be paid the most — actually gets paid more than the deputies. That is a problem in the State Police and all across the board. However, giving large raises at this point in time in this context when you know the fiscal problems that the state is having, you know the state is in the middle of laying of 900 employees because of the budget problems, to be giving raises in that environment — I think it's problematic, I think it's insensitive, that's what I was surprised, that's why I was shocked and that's why I'm reviewing it."

Fans flocked to theaters late at night for the final big screen foray by Bella, Jacob and Edward. However, there weren't as many as those who turned out for Harry Potter's farewell last year.
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" grossed $30.4 million from screenings at 10 p.m. Thursday and at or soon after midnight in the U.S. and Canada, according to an estimate from the distributor, Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment.
Though huge, that number is smaller than the $43.5 million taken in by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2" in July 2011 from midnight screenings only.

It doesn't even appear to be the biggest late night for a "Twilight" movie. That record is held by "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," which generated about $30 million from midnight screenings only in June 2010.

My grandfather, Robert Farrell, was born in Ballyreagh, Brookeborough, Co. Fermanagh in Northern Ireland on December 15, 1896. He was the second oldest of nine children born to William Forbes and Elizabeth Jane (Maze) Farrell. His father and grandfather were both farmers and Robert, too, became a farmer - both in Ireland and later after immigrating to Canada.
In 1912, when Robert was 16 years old, he (along with his father, mother, and oldest brother Joseph) signed the Ulster Declaration in support of His Majesty King George V and against Home Rule in Ireland. He, as well as most Protestants in the Province of Ulster felt that Home Rule would be disastrous to the well being of Ulster as well as the whole of Ireland. His brother, John William, at the age of 14 was too young to sign.
It is my belief that the unrest in Ireland is the reason that Robert and his brothers, Joseph and John William decided to immigrate. John William immigrated to Australia, Joseph went to New Zealand and Robert immigrated to Canada. His next two youngest brothers, Forbes and James would later immigrate to Australia. Robert's sisters, Lillian Olivia, Margaret, Maude and Kathleen all remained in Ireland.
According to his ship's passenger list, Robert arrived in St. John, New Brunswick on March 22, 1920 aboard the Minnedosa via Liverpool, England. His final destination was to be Winnipeg, Manitoba with the intended occupation to be a farmer, later making his way to Saskatchewan. It is not known yet when or where he met my grandmother, Helen "Nellie" Devlin (she immigrated to Canada in 1921 from Auchinleck, Ayrshire, Scotland), but I have been told that they were married in Govan, Saskatchewan (I have yet to confirm the exact year and place), where they worked for a farmer for a short time before moving to the Balcarres district in Saskatchewan. While there they farmed for a Will Wright in the Tipperary district. Later they rented land from John and Charlie White and lived on what was called the old Bateman farm.
In 1936, Robert and Nellie moved to the Abernethy district to a farm owned by a Mr. Jim Behrns. They spent a year there and in the spring of 1937 moved back to the Tipperary district and rented a farm called "Stoney-Lonesome.
Robert and Nellie had six children, four surviving to adulthood and two that died in infancy. In the 1950's, Robert and Nellie moved back to Balcarres and finally purchased their own farm, where they both lived until their deaths.
Robert passed away on March 27, 1965 in Balcarres, Saskatchewan and is buried at Regina Memorial Gardens in Regina, Sask. Nellie was to follow on May 22, 1980 and is laid to rest beside Robert.

Last Saturday, Grizzly Bear performed to a nearly sold out crowd at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston. Drawing mostly from their amazing 2009 album Veckatimest and their excellent new album Shields, the band played for about 90 minutes, sending the crowd home with four-part-harmony chills.
Grizzly Bear started out as the bedroom project of lead singer Ed Droste and expanded to a full band following the release of 2004's Horn of Plenty. For 2006's Yellow House, Droste recruited Daniel Rossen, multi-instrumentalist Chris Taylor, and drummer Christopher Bear. Much has been said about how increasingly "democratic" the Grizzly Bear project is. The four members of the band play in a straight line as opposed to the normal set up in which the drummer backs up the band. Moreover, Rossen and Taylor have individual side projects as solo artists and producers, lending their unique voices to Grizzly Bear's output.
Rossen is perhaps the musical MVP of 2012 (perhaps along with El-P) both for his contributions on Shields and for his great EP released earlier this year, Silent Hour/Golden Mile. The Rossen-led tracks, such as the new "Sleeping Ute" and "A Simple Answer" and the classic "While You Wait For the Others," translated brilliantly live.
All of the band members have certainly improved as musicians since 2009: Taylor's saxophone added sonic depth to epic Shields-closer "Sun In Your Eyes" and Bear's perfect-tone drumming supplied tracks like "Yet Again" with simultaneous stability and urgency.
Yet, the most chilling moments of the set came during its quietest moments: Droste's rich voice echoing throughout the Orpheum during dark Veckatimest-closer "Foreground," Taylor's talk-box pseudo-Peter Frampton vocals woah-ohing during "Knife," and the stunning encore closer, an acoustic version of clap-along "All We Ask."
The band's increasingly deep catalogue almost makes one forget that the biggest audience cheer came when they played their best pure pop song, "Two Weeks," towards the end of the first set. The band is drawing increasing comparisons to Radiohead for both their serene sound and unpredictable output. Grizzly Bear's diverse influences, ranging from jazz to Latin guitar music to likely Radiohead themselves, are allowing the band to develop a unique, unmistakable sound that should start to make them, in addition to Radiohead, a base for comparison and an ideal to which up-and-coming bands strive.

Oh Phooey......Al Bore ain't going to like reading this article...
He's going to have to go whip N.G. into submission...

Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a naturaland not a human-inducedcause, according to one scientist's controversial theory.
Earth is currently experiencing rapid warming, which the vast majority of climate scientists says is due to humans pumping huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. (Get an overview: "Global Warming Fast Facts".)
Mars, too, appears to be enjoying more mild and balmy temperatures.
In 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.
Habibullah Abdussamet, head of space research at St. Petersburg Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun.
"The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars," he said.
Solar Cycles
Abdussamet believes that changes in the sun's heat output can account for almost all the climate changes we see on both planets.
Mars and Earth, for instance, have experienced periodic ice ages throughout their histories.
"Man-made greenhouse warming has made a small contribution to the warming seen on Earth in recent years, but it cannot compete with the increase in solar irradiance," Abdussamet said.
By studying fluctuations in the warmth of the sun, Abdussamet believes he can see a pattern that fits with the ups and downs in climate we see on Earth and Mars.
Abdussamatov's work, however, has not been well received by other climate scientists.

CRESTVIEW � After an hour and a half of often impassioned addresses before the Crestview City Council, city leaders adjourned without discussion regarding the "Uncle Bill" Lundy memorial.
CRESTVIEW � After an hour and a half of often impassioned addresses before the Crestview City Council, city leaders adjourned without discussion regarding the "Uncle Bill" Lundy memorial.
At issue was the Confederate battle flag flying above the memorial on city-owned land at the intersection of First Street and State Road 85.
Several Tallahassee-based Sons of Confederate Veterans representatives praised Lundy's service in the Confederacy, which some historians have questioned.
Bob Hurst, commander of the organization's Florida division, said the battle flag is an integral component of the memorial.
"It is not fitting and proper to honor Uncle Bill Lundy and not have the flag that he honored and revered," Hurst said.
"It is not a sign of evil," he said. "It is not a symbol of anything bad. It is a symbol of a group of people who fought for their honor and independence."
Speakers who oppose displaying the flag were exclusively from Crestview.
"I believe it is time for the Confederate flag to be lowered and stored away with other items of the time. A museum is a suitable place for it," Okaloosa NAACP President Raymond Nelson said, reading from a letter sent by former president Sabu Williams.
Nelson compared the Confederate battle flag's symbolism to the Nazi swastika and SS runes.
"These symbols have been associated with racial superiority and intimidation," Nelson said. "Allowing it to remain on the streets sends a clear message to the people of Crestview that the leaders of our city couldn't care less about their citizens."
Lundy's great-granddaughter, Cheryl Ferdon, countered their arguments, saying feelings about the flag are "just a matter of perspective."
"Unfortunately, a lot of bad groups have taken that flag and used it in a derogatory manner in the past," she said.
Bill Lee, who identified himself as a descendant of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, questioned whether the battle flag is the correct banner for the Lundy monument at all.
"The flag that flies over the Lundy memorial is the flag of Northern Virginia," he said. "My point is this, that the flag that flies over the memorial is not the flag of the Confederate States."
Community activist Mae Retha Coleman cited census data that suggest Lundy wasn't old enough to have served in the Civil War. She suggested removing the entire monument until the historic questions are resolved.
"I am still trying to figure out how a five-year-old boy can be in the service. I'd like to see us get this straight," Coleman said. "Was he really in the service? Until we find out, I want all of it moved, flag and all."
After the public comment period, Council President Robyn Helt called for fellow council members' action. When no discussion ensued, she gaveled the meeting closed.
Several residents were upset by the lack of action as Crestview policemen and county sheriff's deputies immediately escorted the council members out a side door.
"They allowed all those people to speak for nothing," former councilman Charles Baugh Jr. said. "They did a bad job tonight."
