Anthony Castrovince has been a reporter for MLB.com since 2004.
The Reds will be a different team in 2014. But the degree of difference is all in the details, and it's hard to know how many details are yet to be revealed. That's why Bryan Price didn't always have a direct answer to questions Monday about his managerial philosophies, because the truth is that such philosophies are shaped by personnel, and the Reds' roster is very much in flux.

For all their activity last winter, the 2013 Indians became a playoff team largely on the might of the under-the-radar moves, and GM Chris Antonetti will have to come up with more of the same to build a winner for 2014. Fortunately, he's not in need of another 24-win improvement. And fortunately, his pantry isn't barren in a winter in which the market prices have skyrocketed.

If the Brian McCann contract was an inkling, then Tuesday's rake of Jacoby Ellsbury was an outright announcement that the Yankees we know and love or loathe -- the ones prone to backing up the Brink's truck into the driveways of MLB's best and brightest -- are officially back in business.

Increase the versatility of your computer and benefit from easy mobility with our large variety of PC carts. All of our models are designed for your convenience and are available at affordable prices. With great computer carts you can take a comfortable work space anywhere.
Computers come in a number of different styles, so your cart selection should be determined based on which kind you want to support. We have models that are designed specifically for laptops, full-size desktops and flat screen computers. Our adjustable-height laptop stands are great for teachers and lecturers who want to look at their laptops while they are speaking in public. When the screen is set at a comfortable viewing angle, people don't have to bend down to see a clear picture.
Adjustable-height computer stations are ideal for a setting where multiple people need to use the same computer. When a lot of people need to work in the same space, it's hard to find a height that is comfortable for everyone. With a pneumatic gas lift, the height can be adjusted smoothly and easily so anyone who uses the computer can type and view the screen at a comfortable height.
All desktop computers have multiple components that a computer cart needs to support. Our carts are designed to hold monitors and CPUs in an appropriate position for easy-access and work. Some even have pull-out keyboard trays and spaces for printers. If you want to be able to take written notes or use reference materials as you work at the computer it is important to make sure that there is some extra work surface space on your computer cart.
Need a place to keep extra monitors, CPUs and accessories? Computer storage carts are strong enough to support heavy equipment securely. This convenient arrangement enables you to keep everything you need in one place so it is easy to find when you want to take things out of storage.
If you are going to use your computer cart as a mobile computer desk, it is important to make sure that at least two of the casters can be locked. Locking casters keep carts securely in place so they won't move around while people are working. Extra shelving is convenient to have if you want to keep a lot of extra accessories with your computer in addition to the basic necessities.
Computer carts are useful to have in just about any setting. When you have computer carts in schools, it's easy to bring technology into the classroom. This arrangement enables you to share desktops among a number of classes, so you don't have to purchase separate computers for each classroom. In a professional setting, it is always helpful to have a backup computer or additional workspace around just in case an extra workstation is temporarily needed. Computer carts enable you to relocate easily without having to carry heavy equipment and furniture.
When you are giving company presentations or digital slide shows at school assemblies, AV carts can really come in handy. These versatile pieces can support a computer and a slide projector so you can keep all presentation equipment in one place. With this arrangement, you only need one person to keep a digital presentation running, rather than having to use multiple pieces of equipment or coordinate amongst a number of facilitators.
Hertz Furniture's computer carts come from reliable manufacturers who specialize in technological equipment including Mayline, OFM and Balt. They provide mobile workspaces so you can take an appropriate computer desk anywhere. With great laptop carts, AV carts and PC carts, it is much easier to be productive throughout the workday.

With everything from office desks to school chairs conveniently organized on this one Made in USA page, you can definitely afford to buy American.
There are lots of reasons to look for school furniture that is made in the USA. If we want to teach our students to be patriotic, we need to demonstrate our own patriotism in the classroom. By furnishing a learning space with American made school desks, student chairs and bookcases, we send a message to children that we are proud of our country and our home-grown goods. They will understand that there are many reasons to be proud to be an American.
When you go shopping for furniture made in the USA, make sure to really check the label before purchasing anything. While some companies might claim that they are only using American labor, it is possible that certain steps in the assembly process are happening overseas, or that international parts are being used with the assembly process in America. It is important to demonstrate to manufacturers, the American public and the world that it does make a difference to consumers when they have furniture made in America.
There are tons of benefits to purchasing made in USA furniture. First of all, America has very strict standards regarding pollution in product production. When you buy American, you help keep a cleaner environment for the future of our children. When you purchase products without looking for the made in USA label, you don't know what they might contain or what kinds of conditions they were made under. Products from overseas might have been made under substandard working conditions, in factories which are causing tons of air pollution or using child labor.
American labor standards and worker conditions ensure that your office furniture is only produced under acceptable conditions. Made in the USA products have been manufactured through processes which take into account the safety of the workers, the quality of the products and the impact on the environment. When you buy American, you celebrate our country's independence and promote a self-sufficient economy.
When you buy domestically-produced furniture, you can feel good about your purchase. It's great to know that it was made under particular conditions, in compliance with strict standards. You also know who made it. The production of American made furniture creates jobs for our country's citizens. It is always important to support the American labor force, and buying furniture made in the USA is a mutually-beneficial way to do so.
At Hertz Furniture, we know what is important to the American consumer. With our wide array of American made furniture, you can be patriotic and still rely on the quality, style and reliability you have come to expect from Hertz Furniture. So next time you are looking for furniture made in the USA, you can simply come to this page to buy American. Need help choosing which great models will fit best in your space?

Historic Steel Superyacht Used by British Royals for Sale at $10.5 Million
Filed under: Yachts & Sailing
The world's oldest steel superyacht, still steaming along in style nearly 110 years after she was launched, is being offered for sale for about $10.5 million. The 182.-ft. Madiz (above), built by the Ailsa Shipyard in Troon, Scotland and originally christened the Triton, served in the British Royal Navy as a Royal Patrol Yacht during World War II, and King George VI, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth II used her on several occasions. The last surviving ship to have been personally designed by G. L. Watson, the pioneering yacht designer who created some of the most successful contenders for the America's Cup, the stately craft was refitted with Maybach engines and then completely restored in 2006. Decks of Burmese teak, Cuban mahogany in the master staterooms and solid oak paneling in the reception areas speak to the luxury of a bygone era. There are stylish accommodations for 14 along with 9 crew to serve them champagne and keep the woodwork shining.

Article by Kathleen Reale
Following are a few advantages of having to prepare recipes for children with food allergies. Its an excellent learning opportunity for you and your child.
Sweet Revenge: Just because your child suffers from food allergies does not mean that they have to forego sweets (although you might like them too!). Since gluten and other major food allergens do not naturally occur in fruit, desserts made from fresh fruit (eg, baked apples) are not only healthy, they are safe too!
Your Kids Will Love Vegetables: One of the positives of having a child who suffers from food allergies is that you can train their palates to love healthy foods like vegetables from day one. Many of us forget that our addiction to sweets and processed foods is a learned addiction, not a naturally occurring one.
Most vegetables are gluten-free and allergen-free. Feed them to your children early and often. Get creative and serve them with allergen free dips as a lunch box snack or healthy afternoon snack. Theyll seamlessly develop a love for vegetables without being forced.
Teach Your Kid to become an International Eater: Most often, a traditional American diet wont suit a child who suffers from food allergies, as they contain a lot of gluten, processed foods and the like.This is an excellent opportunity to teach your child to become an international eater. You can explore recipes for children with food allergies from Asian, African and Mexican cultures, for example. These cultures tend to have diets that are rich in rice, corn and other alternative grains like quinoa and amaranth. Vegan recipes are another option, as they tend to be free from dairy and animal products.
Recipes for Children with Food Allergies: Safety Tips. There is a lot of information and misinformation on whats safe when it comes to food allergies. Following are a few safety tips when preparing recipes for children with food allergies.
Ingredient Safety: Parents should be aware that when preparing recipes for children with food allergies, products that youd think would always contain the same ingredient can be different. To explain, the same ingredients manufactured in different parts of the country, or in other countries, may be different in composition. Product formulations also can change. So be aware of what youre using.
Label Safety: One of the most frustrating things for parents who prepare recipes for children with food allergies and celiac disease is that you cant totally trust whats on the label. A product labeled as gluten-free, for example, may indeed contain gluten. While the amounts fall below a certain level as to be practically" gluten-free, it can be just enough to harm a child.
Always Check Ingredients on Recipes: Family, friends, magazines, support groups and the internet are always an invaluable resource for parents who see recipes for children with food allergies and celiac disease. However, always keep in mind that each and every ingredient in a recipe must be scrutinized for allergies. A recipe that worked for a recipe-poster in an internet chat forum on childhood food allergies may not work for your child. As a parent your job is to conduct due-diligence on every recipe ingredient.
Recipes for children with food allergies are abundant. Your job as a parent is to find those that your child will like and look forward to eating.

Here, take some salt. AMD reportedly gave out performance figures in a presentation to its partners, performance figures seen by DonanimHaber. It is reported that an 8-core processor based on the "Bulldozer" high-performance CPU architecture is pitched by its makers to have 50% higher performance than existing processors such as the Core i7 950 (4 cores, 8 threads), and Phenom II X6 1100T (6 cores). Very little is known about the processor, including at what clock speed the processor was running at, much less what other components were driving the test machine. Taking this information into account, the said Bulldozer based processor should synthetically even outperform Core i7 980X six-core, Intel's fastest desktop processor in the market. Built from ground-up, the Bulldozer architecture focuses on greater inter-core communication and reconfigured ALU/FPU to achieve higher instructions per clock cycle (IPC) compared to the previous generation K10.5, on which its current Phenom II series processors are based. The processor is backed by new 9-series core logic, and a new AM3+ socket. AMD is expected to unveil this platform a little later this year. Source: DonanimHaber
Wow if this is true, AMD will take the performance crown once again. Im sure these wont even be the FX version's ether?
This is suprising news if true. A 50% increase in speed over what I currently have is finally an acutal worthy upgrade.
They just have to ship the stuff fast. AMD had bright ideas all along, but the time is what has drove them over each time. And Intel was "sitting" in it. I mean what good is it to have 50% better performance now when you suck on the actual hardware release day... So good luck to AMD and i hope they'll get the stuff out in time.
Let's not start the selective memory loss crap. We know how this goes. These things are always hand picked numbers from very specific instances, if not totally bs from some performance "simulation". Give a real chip to a bad asian plumber and maybe we'll see something to get excited about.
This is from AMD, so it might not be 100% legit. But it should be very close to the 980X, if not on par or better. Performance is surprisingly good, but this probably means that they won't be very cheap either. We'll see.
I bet a hexa-core Sandy Bridge would beat the octo-core Bulldozer, not to mention handling 50% more threads. At least it is a significant improvement from Phenom II. The one thing AMD, for sure, has going for them is not drastically changing sockets like Intel has, yet again, made a habit of doing.
I hope this is true, not to keen on staying with intel for too long since I'm really tired of having to switch platforms every so often.
Crikey doodle dandy. It would be cool if this is true. Hopefully they compete well in the price/performance & performance/watt stakes.
Lets hope it's true. Though if it is, I expect it to be too expensive for my blood for a while, sadly.
They need to be as fast or faster than intel at not fully threaded applications too (games, desktop apps) otherwise it won't be that good for casual users.
This needs to be taken with a mountain of salt, not just a grain of it. While I am all for AMD making a decisive comeback to drive prices in the high-end lower and lower (and make Intel drive forward faster), this reminds me of the pre-release nVidia slides for Fermi. After all the NV-hype was done, we were left with good cards, but nothing truly as revolutionary as nVidia would have us believe. Until I see a TPU review, this is all manuFUD.
Actually this is not far fetched at all. Notice they say their Octa-Core (8) proc is 50% faster than the i7 950 Quad-Core (4). If both chips are running at the same clocks, that just means the Bulldozer isn't any/much faster IPC than a Nehalem.
Zubasa, you made a point! That's true. They comparing 4 cylinder Intel engine with new V8 from AMD. Of course it would be faster than Intel!
This really depends on what they call a core: 1. A real core. 2. One half of their SMT arrangement. In the case of 1, I agree. In the case of 2, their octa-core processor is not a "true" octa-core. According to what I know about bulldozer every pair of cores is a hybrid between Intel's SMT approach (HyperThreading) and a true pair of separate cores. It is getting hard to define this architecture by the number of cores in the way previous generations could be, but on strict terms, this is a 4-core processor with AMD's flavor of SMT. In case 1, we're talking about nothing special. In the case of 2, we're talking about some serious processing power.
In case 2, Intel will finally have some serious competition I have been waiting for. On the other hand, we have yet to see how Intel's LGA2011 chips performs. Also remember that these are PR figures likely done with cherry picked applications in the second case.
When overclocked the i5 2600k can beat the i7 980x in some cases, what will the hyper threaded 6/8 core sandy bridge i7's do? To be honest this release is far from specific enough, 50% core for core would be amazing but I'm doubting that, an 8 core CPU that's 50% faster than a 6 core CPU does not exactly sound amazing unless the 8 core is clocked much lower but no details. I want to be impressed but until i see something more specific it's hard to be
this brought a tear to my eye, lets hope prices are decent around june/july time, so i can build an amazing PC
Using Google translate the one line i notice most is this "125 watts running at 3GHz + with 8-core" So if it were 50% faster core for core than previous 3ghz cpu's that would very much impress me as long it did not cost an arm and a leg.

Use leftover cranberry sauce to make these sweet, fragrant roasted chicken wings and be sure to use our famous-for-flavor chicken wings, from chickens raised without antibiotics.
We think these fresh green beans sauced with creamy mushroom soup and topped with crunchy baked onion rings will become a new family favorite.
These tender raisin-stuffed cakes have a delicious toasted millet crust when they've finished baking. For a filling breakfast serve them alongside sausage links and fresh fruit.
Enjoy this twist on the traditional Szechuan dish with tofu, broccoli and pineapple.
Paired with a fresh green salad, this pasta makes a meal in less than 20 minutes. Feel free to substitute grilled wild caught salmon, available fresh in the summer months.
Have breakfast in bed with our french toast made with delicate challah bread, top with fresh or thawed frozen berries and plenty of maple syrup.
These fragrant sweets are perfect for packing in lunches. For a fun spin, add 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom to the batter when you add the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
Cold soups like this one are welcome refreshers in the summer months. Garnish with a bit of crumbled feta or goat cheese, if you like. To lighten the soup, substitute low-fat sour cream for regular.
These versatile little cakes can be enjoyed as breakfast muffins, snacks or dessert. Frost with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting, if you like.
Leftover roasted chicken and turkey can be beautifully disguised in these enchiladas, which are topped with tangy prepared salsa verde. Thanks to canned enchilada sauce, this Mexican-inspired baked main course is easy to throw together even on busy a weeknight.
Earthy burdock, a firm root long popular in Asia, adds flavor to this dish's hearty stuffing. Leave it unpeeled to enjoy its full flavor.
Tender lamb seasoned with cilantro, cinnamon, ginger and saffron joins chickpeas, dates, oranges and almonds in this classic Moroccan dish. "Tagine" refers to slowly simmered meat, fish and vegetable dishes that have both a sweet and savory flavor.
Inspired by the chile- and salt-sprinkled pineapple found in the fresh fruit stalls of Mexico, this melon salad is delightfully refreshing. Lime juice and chili powder enhance the sweetness of summer melon while fresh mint adds a cool finish.

Last month we ran four online focus groups with young people, as part of our ongoing research looking into young people's online help-seeking behaviour. Planning and running these online focus groups has been a really interesting process for us and we've learnt a great deal, which we thought we'd share with you. We ran the focus groups using a virtual meeting room, and overall they were a great success: we were pleased with the number of people taking part (28 participants, with only a 12% drop out rate in the total number of young people that originally agreed to take part). Also, participants were generally very engaged throughout and gave us many varied and well considered answers. more >
The Design Council in partnership with Nominet Trust have just launched the Working Well Design Challenge.

I feel incredibly lucky to have the health and the years needed to run a marathon in each of the 50 states.
When I was first diagnosed with multiple myeloma nine years ago, only half of newly diagnosed patients survived more than five years. Since then, I've run 70 marathons, the most recent in Hawaii, my 50th state.
Hot, exhausted, sore, bent a little to the right, and walking a lot, I finally trotted across that finish line in Honolulu. I'm sure I had a big grin on my face because it was the end of a long quest, the completion of which was never a certainty.
There are more people who climb Mount Everest each year than there are runners who finish 50 states of marathons.
I remember laughing a little, feeling a mixture of joy and relief, as I limped to the table where I could pick up my finisher's shirt and medal. I didn't dare sit down at first, afraid that my muscles would cramp up -- I had to keep walking for a few minutes at least. Everything was sore.
But muscles recover, and I was soon off to the other events of the day: an interview, then to collect my wife and daughter (who also ran the full marathon). We checked out of the hotel and hustled to catch a plane, where I could finally relax. Sleep came easily, even on the plane.
Since then, the 50 States Marathon Club has accepted my documentation, so I'm a certified "50 Stater." It's done and official. Right now I'm savoring the temporary freedom from goals and running just for the joy of it.
One big reason that I can run with myeloma is an investigational drug -- or a new drug that was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration -- called pomalidomide.
It's just a little red pill that I take every night. It doesn't cure the cancer but has kept it at bay for almost five years, without the severe side effects and clinic visits of regular chemotherapy. It's a miracle drug for me.
I wish that life-saving investigational drugs such as it could be much more widely available to people whose lives are threatened by illness. Happily, pomalidomide has been submitted for FDA approval and will hopefully be available soon to anyone who needs it. It has the potential to do for thousands more what it has done for me.
We don't know what's next for us yet, but whatever it is we'll continue to do it as a family. My wife and daughter have 48 states, including their marathons and their half-marathons, so we'll certainly run in their remaining states, Virginia and Massachusetts. And whatever we do, it will be in support of worthy charities.
Live one day at a time and make it a masterpiece.

very convenient to the Nats park. The parking attendants were all friendly and helpful. And access to/from the parking garage was easy.
Nice place, easy in and out
It was more expensive for me to reserve through ParkWhiz than to just pay at the gate. Planning ahead should be cheaper. The parking garage was pleasantly lit and the staff was helpful.

Armor For Sleep
What To Do When You Are Dead
You know that feeling you get when you check something out and immediately realize that it's not for you? Not only because you don't like it, but because it's not even meant for you to like? When I encounter stuff that I consider a boil on the ass of entertainment—like the Lifetime Channel, American Idol, Vin Diesel movies, NASCAR, and any band with five singers, I know both that I think it is insufferably lame and that it's not meant for me to enjoy anyway. It's an entertainment wrong turn that you quickly realize and mentally note so you don't make the same mistake twice. That brings me to Armor For Sleep, a band that does a competent job at playing a genre of music that is not for me.
What To Do When You Are Dead is the second album from this New Jersey emo pop punk band. It's a concept album centered on, get this, a lovelorn protagonist (no, really) who commits suicide during the first song, then wanders around the afterlife—still miserable of course. His last thoughts are summed up by lyrics like "I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is that I would still die for you". The music ranges from muted to raucous, but still entirely MTV-safe pop punk, covered with sugary sweet vocals and melodies. When bands like The Smiths contrasted tales of misery with jangly upbeat pop music, it felt like irony. This feels like a more conscious equation of youthful angst + pop sensibilities = long lines at the record store counters, as this seems a sure thing for insecure 15 year olds who are sad and confused enough to question the meaning of it all, but not so far gone they can't appreciate a nice sing along chorus. In short, this is band is probably not meant for you, the loyal MetalReview reader, but it might be meant for your little sister, who loves Atreyu's fashion, but wishes they wouldn't do all that annoying screaming. Like retired reviewer Chris Sessions once said about this type of music, "this is hardcore for Hillary Duff fans". But here's the rub: these guys actually play this stuff pretty well. They avoid the usual three chords and a smile thing, preferring a more dynamic and layered approach, resulting in more developed songs. They have a good sense of melody and most of the material will be damn infectious to the band's audience. A concept album is tough to pull off, and the story is a little too up front and obvious in places, but overall the band has done a decent job presenting the material.
This style of music doesn't usually get a warm reception from the reviewers or the readers around here, but if you like this kind of stuff then Armor For Sleep seems like a no brainer. It's bad music played well. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a palate cleansing appointment with some Morbid Angel.

Philosophy Honors student Lauren Hanon conducted project "The Ethics of Harm Reduction: A Normative Foundation"
A report on Eurekamp: Adventures in Ideas for Curious Children, the 5th summer camp offered by Philosophy for Children Alberta
Course Guide for 2013–2014
Philosophy is the critical study of ideas, experiences, and institutions. Whether your inclinations are those of the mathematician, the poet, the scholar, or the activist, there is certain to be an area of philosophy that will pique your interest. Unlike many other fields, in which the memorization of facts or the inculcation of received theories figures prominently, philosophy is devoted to free inquiry, and originality and creativity as well as the ability to express oneself clearly and to argue convincingly are valued. For this reason, the Philosophy major, and the study of philosophy generally, offer preparation for a variety of careers.

Civil rights activist Lawrence Guyot dies at 73

Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Lawrence Guyot, a civil rights leader who survived jailhouse beatings in the Deep South in the 1960s and went on to encourage generations to get involved in various causes, died late Thursday or early Friday outside Washington, D.C. at the age of 73.
His daughter Julie Guyot-Diangone said late Saturday that Guyot (pronounced GHEE-ott) died at home in Mount Rainier, Md. She said he'd had a history of heart problems and suffered from diabetes.
A Mississippi native, Guyot worked for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and served as director of the 1964 Freedom Summer Project, which brought thousands of young people to the state to register blacks to vote despite a history of violence and intimidation by authorities. He also chaired the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, which sought to have blacks included among the state's delegates to the 1964 Democratic National Convention. The bid was rejected, but another civil rights activist, Fannie Lou Hamer, addressed the convention during a nationally televised appearance.
Guyot was severely beaten several times, including while at the notorious Mississippi State Penitentiary known as Parchman Farm, in the early 1960s. He continued to speak out on voting rights issues until his death, including encouraging people to vote for President Barack Obama.
"He was a civil rights field worker right up to the end," Guyot-Diangone said.
She said she recently saw him on a shuttle bus encouraging people to register to vote and asking about their political views. She said he was an early backer of gay marriage, noting that when he married a white woman, interracial marriage was illegal in some states. He met his wife Monica while they both worked for racial equality.
"He followed justice," his daughter said. "He followed what was consistent with his values, not what was fashionable. He just pushed people along with him."
Susan Glisson, executive director of the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation at the University of Mississippi, called Guyot "a towering figure, a real warrior for freedom and justice."
"He loved to mentor young people. That's how I met him," she said.
When she attended Ole Miss, students there wanted to learn from the civil rights activists. She had a mailing list of those who had attended a Freedom Summer reunion in 1994; Guyot was one of two who answered.
"He said any time Mississippi young people called, he would answer," Glisson said.
"He was very opinionated," she added. "But always -- he always backed up his opinions with detailed facts. He always pushed you to think more deeply and to be more strategic. It could be long days of debate about the way forward. But once the path was set, there was nobody more committed to the path."
Glisson said Guyot's efforts helped lay the groundwork for the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which, she said, "changed the political landscape in the South."
"Mississippi has more black elected officials than any other state in the country, and that's a direct tribute to his work," she said.
Lawrence Thomas Guyot, Jr., was born in Pass Christian, Miss., on July 17, 1939. He became active in civil rights while attending Tougaloo College in Tougaloo, Miss., from which he graduated in 1963. Guyot received a law degree in 1971 from Rutgers University, and then moved to Washington, where he worked for the election of fellow Mississippian and civil rights activist Marion Barry as mayor in 1978.
"When he came to Washington, he continued his revolutionary zeal," Barry told The Washington Post on Friday. "He was always busy working for the people."
Guyot worked for the District of Columbia government in various capacities and as a neighborhood advisory commissioner.
D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton told The Post in 2007 that she first met Guyot within days of his beating at a jail in Winona, Miss. "Because of Larry Guyot, I understood what it meant to live with terror and to walk straight into it," she told the newspaper. On Friday, she called Guyot "an unsung hero" of the civil rights movement.
"Very few Mississippians were willing to risk their lives at that time," she said. "But Guyot did."
In recent months, his daughter said, he was concerned about what he felt were efforts by Republican officeholders to limit access to the polls and he focused intently on Obama's re-election. As his health was failing, he voted early because he wanted to make sure his vote was counted, he told the AFRO newspaper.
Guyot-Diangone said her father was elated by Obama's re-election, but she added, "I was wondering when Obama won, is Dad gonna go now."
In addition to his daughter, Guyot is survived by his wife of 47 years, Monica Guyot of Mount Ranier, Md.; a son, Lawrence Guyot III of La Paz, Bolivia; and four grandchildren.
Funeral services are pending.

Ailing former South African President Nelson Mandela is not "doing well" but is continuing to put up a courageous fight from his "deathbed," members of his family have told the South African Broadcasting Corporation in an interview.
A movie depicting the life of Nelson Mandela has become South Africa's highest grossing picture after its opening last week, its producers said Thursday. The film, Long Walk to Freedom, has already earned $427,000 (Rand 4.4 million), according to Videovision Entertainment.
Iran struck a historic deal Sunday with the United States and five other world powers, agreeing to a temporary freeze of its nuclear program in the most significant agreement between Washington and Tehran in more than three decades of estrangement.
Most of Nelson Mandela's handwriting is neat, but it harbors a few mysteries. Archivists sometimes struggle to decipher words in the vast body of documents that Mandela penned, and he often jotted an acronym that nobody, not even the former South African president in later years, has been able to explain.
Four investigations, hundreds of testimonies and stacks of medical reports on Yasser Arafat's unexplained death in 2004 have failed to produce hard evidence of what killed him - and findings presented Friday only created more confusion.
Students from some of the toughest neighborhoods in Jamaica's capital hunched over school desks, clacking wooden dominoes, pausing to ponder their next move and razzing opponents with good-natured taunts. "Look out, here comes the end of the game! Nobody can stop it," said 20-year-old Chevon Brown.
Five African-American gentlemen in full 1860s-era Union troop regalia marched toward the west side of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia. Two of them held the Tennessee and United States flags, a slight breeze brushing leaves past their feet as clouds covered the sky.
One of the world's most wanted women, a British-born convert to Islamic extremism, lived close to one of Nairobi's major malls in 2011 but likely wasn't carrying out surveillance on it, a Kenyan security official said Wednesday.

Born on April 2 1977 in Heidelberg, Germany, Fassbender was raised by his German father, Josef, a chef, and Irish mother, Adele. When he was two years old, Fassbender's parents decided to relocate the family to Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland, where they ran a restaurant called the West End House. Fassbender knew early on of family lore which touted his relation on his mother's side to Irish revolutionary, Michael Collins, though his parent's strongly condemned violence of any kind. At 17, the shiftless Fassbender, who played the guitar, accordion and piano, weighed becoming a guitarist in a heavy metal band, though at the time he really had no idea what he wanted to do with his life. While attending St. Brendan's, a secondary school in Killarney, Fassbender saw a posted notice for a comedy and drama class with teacher Donie Courtney. Finally with some direction, he took the class, which led to a stage production of Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" (1992), which Fassbender directed and starred as the jabbering Mr. Pink.
Fassbender next attended the Central School of Speech and Drama in London, only to bail during his third year after becoming fed up with the institution's emphasis on the purity of language. He appeared in a tour of Anton Chekhov's "Three Sisters" with the Oxford Stage Company, only to find himself loading boxes in a factory after the show finished. Following some serious questions about his life's direction, Fassbender quit the box job, picked up a bartending gig and began to audition again. He restarted his career after landing a three episode arc on short lived British series "Hearts and Bones" (BBC, 2000-01). Fassbender followed by landing the role of Sgt. Burton 'Pat' Christenson in the multi-award winning miniseries "Band of Brothers" (HBO, 2001), a ten part exploration of comradeship which followed U.S. Army Airborne paratroopers from their training in 1942 through the end of World War II. While the role served as a high profile introduction to Hollywood, Fassbender returned to London for a succession of television jobs, including "Gunpowder, Treason & Plot " (BBC 2004), a miniseries that detailed the reign of Mary, Queen of Scotts (Clémence Poésy), and a five episode stint on the popular crime-drama series "Murphy's Law" (BBC 2003-07).
In the supernatural drama "Hex" (Sky One, 2004-05), Fassbender found himself playing as Azazeal, the seductive leader of a band of fallen angels who indulge in sex, drugs and human sacrifice. The following year, he appeared in the theatrical production of "Allegiance" (2006) at the Edinburgh Festival, portraying his probable ancestor, Michael Collins. Meanwhile, American audiences were reacquainted with Fassbender after his portrayal of Spartan Warrior Stelios in the box-office bonanza "300" (2006), a comic-inspired historical epic that broke new ground and achieved cult status with fans. More importantly, the movie opened new doors for the actor. Fassbender next appeared in François Ozon's Edwardian melodrama "Angel" (2007), playing the frustrated painter, Esme, who is caught in the middle of a love triangle. But it was his intense portrayal of IRA prisoner Bobby Sands in "Hunger" (2008), which depicted the real life hunger strike in 1981 at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland, that elevated his game. For the role, he dropped some 35 pounds off his six foot frame, thanks to crash diet of berries, nuts and sardines, while filing the difficult piece left him emotionally exhausted. The end performance, however, was nothing short of astonishing, netting him several international Best Actor Awards.
Fassbender again delivered the goods with "Fish Tank" (2009), in which he played a working-class man who becomes a parental figure to a troubled 15-year-old girl (Katie Jarvis), only to push their bond to an inappropriate level. Fassbender next joined the ensemble cast for Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" (2009), playing British cinephile turned resistance fighter, Lt. Archie Hicox, after originally pursuing the larger, showier role of Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Fassbender studied tapes of British actor George Sanders to replicate the heightened language and movement of that era, which translated into a seamless, effortless performance. Fassbender next led a fractured group of Roman soldiers in the year 117 A.D. with "Centurion" (2010), then starred in the comic book adaptation of "Jonah Hex" (2010), playing the psychopathic right-hand man of a plantation owner (John Malkovich) who has sworn vengeance on the titular disfigured bounty hunter (Josh Brolin). He followed up with a banner year in 2011, playing a young Magneto in the prequel "X-Men: First Class" and starring opposite Mia Wasikowska in an adaptation of "Jane Eyre." But his greatest acclaim came with his performance in Steve McQueen's "Shame" (2011), in which he played a sex-addicted New York yuppie unable to balance his life with his uncontrollable urges. The NC-17 film earned a deal of press for its unflinching sexuality, but nonetheless earned widespread critical praise. He next played famed Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung to Viggo Mortensen's Sigmund Freud in David Cronenberg's historical drama, "A Dangerous Method" (2011), which also starred Kiera Knightley as Sabina Spielrein, a troubled psychoanalyst who comes between the two men.

Notes |
TMZ.com reported that Michael Fassbender's ex, Sunawin Andrews, filed a petition for a restraining order against him in early March 2010 in L.A. County Superior Court. In the documents, Andrews claimed Fassbender hit the bottle hard during a film festival in July of 2009 and after he woke up in a puddle of his own urine, he became violent. She alleged that the actor "threw me over a chair, breaking my nose." Andrews also said Michael allegedly dragged her alongside their car one night after they had an argument about one of her ex-boyfriends, causing her to twist her left ankle, blow out her left knee cap and burst an ovarian cyst. Andrews said she feared for her life and wanted to keep Fassbender 100 yards away from herself and her two children. She wanted over $20,000 to help pay her medical bills from the injuries he allegedly caused. |
