Lil Wayne Launches Online Show 'Weezy's Sports Corner'
Lil Wayne's love for all-things sports is no secret. He blogs about sports for ESPN, he's an avid bowler and he loves skateboarding. Over the Christmas holiday, the rap mogul launched his web video series called 'Weezy's Sports Corner.' Every week, Wayne will offer his thoughts on various sports-related topics.
"This will be an unscripted show, unrehearsed show," he says. "I'll talk about whatever I want to talk about. I'll talk freely. If they have guests, they can speak freely, and they can talk about whatever they want to talk about."
"My love for sports started when I was zero years old. That's means I was born a sports child," Weezy adds. "It was mostly by the women in the family, like, my mom and my grandmother, they were just super sporty. They loved their teams, they loved football, they loved baseball, they loved basketball."
Wayne also revealed his favorite sports teams in football (Green Bay Packers), basketball (Los Angeles Lakers), baseball (Boston Red Socks), hockey (Washington Capitals) and college basketball (Louisiana State University). On episode two of the seven-part series, the subject was the NBA, so he chatted with his good friend Chris Paul who recently was traded from New Orleans Hornets to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Wayne covered a myriad of topics in sports including football, college basketball and skateboarding. At the end of the show (video No. 7), he expressed his compassion for the victims and families of the Penn State child sexual-abuse scandal. Weezy also announced that he will also be co-hosting an upcoming ESPN show called 'The Sports Rap' with Rob Parker and Jalen Rose. "I can't wait to film that, it should be a blast," he said.

(This post is being simulcast on the Seattle PI and Tastingmenu. I encourage readers of each to check out the other. End of announcement.)
I'm not a fan of the term "fine dining" as it connotes some sort of snooty experience in my mind, and after all, any food that's great seems quite "fine" to me. But I do appreciate refined cooking, high quality ingredients, and multiple courses of food where every detail has been pored over carefully and lovingly. And if the words "fine dining" are the only way to let you know what I'm talking about, then so be it.
Seattle doesn't exactly have a vast collection of high end restaurants that deliver a really special experience. There are a handful that are trying and only a couple that succeed. While I enjoy living here, there's no arguing with the fact that when it comes to quantity of quality, Seattle simply can't compare to the major food hubs of the planet – New York, Tokyo, Paris, London, etc. (Yes this is unsurprising given Seattle's population and age relative to those other cities, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love a better selection here.) But that shouldn't stop us from finding things that scratch that refined itch. Enter Le Gourmand.
French in its foundation, Le Gourmand's main appeal, is surprisingly its almost rustic flavors in refined packages. The delicate flavors that you'd expect in fine dining aren't exactly what you find here. That's not to say the flavors aren't present, or aren't good. They exist, and are enjoyable. There just isn't always the delicateness about them that you'd find in other higher end restaurants cooking French food. The blunt quality of the flavors is surprising but enjoyable nonetheless. It is what it is. Enjoy it or don't. I generally have, and still do.
Bread arrived. It was chewy, but not warm. (Is it wrong that I want to live in a world where all bread is served warm?) I desperately tried not to eat all the bread as I wanted to save room for the food. I lost most of this battle. A token crust remained mocking me, sitting there saying "Are you serious? Do you think that leaving a few molecules of bread on the plate is a demonstration of your willpower and discipline?" I'm often mocked by food. Luckily, it wasn't too long until the Heirloom Tomato Soup arrived. For my taste, it was underseasoned. We helped it along a bit with some of the salt on the table and things felt better. One saving aspect of the soup was the crisp freshness of the flavor that came through nicely. But otherwise the soup was a bit flat. Following the soup was Local Crayfish and Dungeness Crab Timbale with Champagne Sauce and Chanterelles. Local shellfish with chanterelles – sounded great to me. Again though, it was not thrilling. Not particularly flavorful. Just kind of lying on the plate. The components wondering what they were doing there like a fix-up date gone bad each person wondering what their friend was thinking setting them up with this other person. It wasn't a bad dish, it just wasn't at all integrated. And the flavors weren't particularly interesting or memorable.
At this point in the meal, I was nervous. I'd talked up Le Gourmand as a wonderful restaurant with simple French dishes prepared in an unassuming but flavorful way. Luckily, my favorite dish (and a signature dish of the restaurant) – Blintzes filled with Sally Jackson's Sheep Milk Cheese with Chive Butter Sauce arrived to save the day. There are very few things on which you could put chive butter sauce or fill with sheep milk cheese and not have me eat them and proclaim them delicious. The blintzes were no exception. Things were looking up.
The mains arrived. First was Sage-wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Crabapple Sauce and House-made Pickled Crabapples. Delicate this dish was not. The pork was literally swimming in an ocean of sour red apple sauce. And yet, the pork was cooked to perfection. Savory, juicy, warm. Covered in a light blanket of the apple sauce, the chunks of pork tasted fantastic. There was nothing subtle about the apple sauce or the pickled crabapples. Even though the pork was gentle in its approach, the apple sauce almost made you feel like you were eating at a BBQ with its "down home" simplicity. The Grilled Tournedos of Beef with Chive and Potato Pancake and Sauce of Blueberries, Huckleberries, and Lemon Thyme also did not disappoint. Much like the pork, the sauce on the beef – this time comprised of berries – was super present. And again, when combined in moderate amounts with a slice of the well cooked meat, the dish just worked. This time more sour, and deep, than the apple sauce. It approached almost a juicy tart wine-like flavor.
In a funny way, the most delicate thing that arrived was the side of vegetables that came with our entrees. Little red potatoes, cabbage, and kale. Cooked just enough. And with a perfect amount of melted butter glistening across the surface of the veggies. Simple, clean, understated, and cooked perfectly. Yummy.
For dessert we had the Creme Brulee a l'Ancienne – Old Fashioned Burnt Cream with raspberries preserved in house-made Ratafia. It was uneventful. But the Raspberry Sorbet (phallic presentation aside) was incredibly sour and fresh tasting. A little shock to the system, cleaning out any traces of the previous dishes from your palate and letting you finish the meal on a with a spring in your step instead of feeling all weighed down.
Even though we were nervous at first, the combination of the blintzes and the entrees really did remind me of everything I liked about Le Gourmand. While not every item we tried found it's mark, there were more than enough that delighted us through a combination of simple, clean, and mouthwatering flavors. It's not the super-refined delicate flavors you'd find at some of the higher end French restaurants, and it's not cheap, but the simple combinations of ingredients and direct and unassuming flavors are more often than not tasty and special in their own way.

I want to set up my work laptop to enable me to use Remote Desktop to connect to it from home, like I can with our network server. Using ZoneEdit, I have the domain
mypc.company.com pointing to the IP address of our router, let's say the IP is 220.127.116.11 (that's not the real IP of it). The server also points to this router, since it's own IP address is, obviously, internal to our network.
On the router itself (it's a Linksys), I have port range forwarding configured so that requests for port 3399 (Remote Desktop) from mypc.company.com should be forwarded to the IP address of my workstation, which is 192.168.1.201. I also have it configured so that
dev.mycompany.com forwards to the server, 192.168.1.200.
However, what happens is that when I try to connect to
mypc.mycompany.com, it connects instead to the network server that's already set up, and not to my computer. I can only imagine this has something to do with the fact that the IP for the router is the same for both computers, but shouldn't port forwarding ensure that it's sent to the right.
I've not had to set up something like this on my own in the past; I'm used to having it already configured so I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it. I want to set up the workstation for remote access.

European University Reform at Clarkson University Shipley Lectures November 18 & 19
Radovan Stanislav Pejovnik, rector and professor of materials science at the University of Ljubljana in Ljubljana, Slovenia, will deliver the two lectures of Clarkson University's 19th Shipley Distinguished Lectureship, November 18 and 19.
A frequent visitor to Clarkson, Pejovnik received an honorary doctor of science degree from the University in 2012.
He will speak about " European University Reform -- Case: University of Ljubljana" on Monday, November 18, at 4:15 p.m. in Science Center Room 360. The presentation will be preceded by a 3:30 p.m. reception.
Most European countries are introducing new degree structures to reduce long first-study cycles and high drop-out rates. Pejovnik will present and evaluate the changes and restructuring that the University of Ljubljana has made over the past decade to address these and other issues.
For students, faculty and the more technically inclined, Pejovnik will then speak about "Nanostructured Electrodes for Modern Li-ion Batteries" on Tuesday, November 19, at 11 a.m. in Bertrand H. Snell Hall Room 212. He will present novel concepts to resolve various problems associated with both negative and positive electrodes in lithium ion rechargeable batteries.
Both lectures are free and open to the public.
Pejovnik is a world-renowned leader in materials research. He has co-edited six books and presented papers and invited lectures at scientific conferences and universities throughout the world, including the United States and Japan. He has also served as a member of international boards and has chaired conference sessions on sintering, materials research, stereology and battery research.
He started his academic career as an assistant professor of inorganic chemical technology in 1978, and since 1989 he has been professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Ljubljana's Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology. From 2005 to 2009, he served as the dean of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology. In September 2009, he was elected rector of the University of Ljubljana and took office on October 1, 2010.
From 1982 to 1999, he was director of the National Institute of Chemistry, and from 2000 until 2003 served as a state secretary for higher education at the Slovenian Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.
The Shipley Lectures are sponsored by the Shipley Family Foundation, with support from Clarkson's Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP).
The Shipley Distinguished Lecture Series was initiated in 1994 through a generous gift from the late Lucia and Charles Shipley through the Shipley Family Foundation. Over that period distinguished speakers from around the world, including eight Nobel Laureates, have presented talks.
The purpose of the lectures is to promote scholarly achievements at Clarkson by providing the opportunity for idea exchange and active learning, as well as allowing undergraduate and graduate students to meet the most prestigious speakers from all over the world.
For more information about the lectures, please contact lectureship organizer Egon Matijevic, Victor K. LaMer Professor of Colloid and Surface Science, at 315-268-2392.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

The Democratic presidential candidate spent about an hour with 85-year-old Madelyn Dunham on Thursday night, and then visited again on Friday. He was joined by his sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng.
His decision to leave the campaign trail for a day and a half so close to the election reflects the depth of his relationship with Dunham and the severity of her condition.
"Without going through the details too much, she's gravely ill. We weren't sure, and I'm still not sure whether she makes it to Election Day," Obama told ABC's "Good Morning America" in an interview broadcast Friday.
"We're all praying and we hope she does, but one of the things I want to make sure of is I had a chance to sit down with her and to talk to her. She's still alert and she's still got all her faculties. And I want to make sure that I don't miss that opportunity," he said.
Republican Ex-Governor Of Bay State Backs Obama
Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, a Republican, endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president on Friday, citing the senator's good judgment, "deep sense of calm" and "first-class political temperament."
Weld said he has never endorsed a Democrat for president before, but in the last six weeks or so, it became "close to a no-brainer." Obama has a history of bringing Democrats, Republicans and independents together and is the best choice at a time when America's standing in the world is at a low point, he said.
"It's not often you get a guy with his combination of qualities, chief among which I would say is the deep sense of calm he displays, and I think that's a product of his equally deep intelligence," he said.
He insisted that his endorsement was based on Obama's strengths, not Republican John McCain's weaknesses. "John McCain is a very good guy," he said. "I do think the Republican Party has been playing on an increasingly small field in the last couple of elections."
Weld joined other prominent Republicans endorsing Obama in the campaign's final weeks, including former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Scott McClellan, former press secretary to President Bush.

Skip to 2:45 for the immigration bit. According to Jonathan Strong, among the many Republicans who spoke at the caucus meeting last week on immigration, sentiment ran 80/20 against bringing a bill to the floor this year. Can this amnesty be saved?
It's a testament to how little border hawks trust the GOP leadership on this subject that even cautious pessimism of the sort expressed here by Ryan is cause for deep analysis of hidden motives. Byron York wonders: Is this a head fake, designed to get conservatives to let down their guard?
"The best way to pass a bill is to tell people a bill is unlikely to pass," says one Hill aide closely involved in the issue. "What if Ryan had gone on TV and said, 'Read my lips, we're going to pass a bill'?" Can you imagine how much more difficult it would be is for Republicans when they go home to town halls?"
The aide recalls how Senate GOP Gang of Eight leader Marco Rubio often stressed the downside of his bill's chances. Recalling a closed-door meeting in which Rubio discussed the bill with skeptical colleagues, the aide remembers, "Rubio said, Look, there's no way the bill will pass as it is right now. The Democrats are going to lose about five of their own, and it just won't pass. Rubio would go on Hannity and say the same thing — Oh, we've got so much work to do, we don't have the votes."
One result of that kind of talk was that conservatives who opposed reform didn't see an active threat until the Gang of Eight bill was on the verge of passage. "The phone lines in Congress didn't melt down until after Corker-Hoeven [the amendment that assured enough Republican support for passage], and everybody realized the countdown had begun," the aide says.
If conservatives got caught napping on the Gang of Eight bill, it's partly because they thought they could afford to. There's only so much one can do to stop a bill from getting 60 votes when there are 55 Democrats, a few committed Republican immigration sellouts like McCain and Graham, and a younger GOP guard like Rubio who are using the issue for their own electoral ambitions. The House was always going to be where the big fight happened, partly because it's the last line of defense, partly because there's a bigger constituency of conservatives in the caucus willing to hold strong, and partly because grassroots righties can exert more electoral pressure on the squishes who are wavering. If anything, the fact that Boehner and Ryan told the base to kiss off over the budget deal in December has only pushed border hawks to a higher state of alarm. Nothing's going to lull them to sleep now; York's piece, scrutinizing Ryan's mild expression of doubt, is a nice example why. That's not to say that Boehner won't tell the base to kiss off again and pass this thing over conservatives' howling objections, just that there will be howling, no matter what he and Ryan say.
Speaking of unhelpful rhetoric, though, what are we to make of this?
In keeping with his State of the Union pledge to bypass Congress when necessary, Obama hinted Friday that immigration might be a candidate for executive action…
"Obviously, if at some point we see that it's not getting done, I'm going to look at options to make sure that we have a rational, smart system of immigration," he said. "But I'm going to do everything I can in these coming months to see if we can get this over the finish line."
Fear of Obama using executive action, or rather inaction, in refusing to enforce new border security measures passed by the House is the excuse du jour among Republicans for why the House might not end up passing anything. Watch Ryan here and you'll see him repeat the point: How can the GOP come together and reform immigration when it has no faith that its reforms will be carried out? The thing is, though, if you've concluded as a caucus that Obama's gone rogue and can't be trusted to dutifully carry out federal law, the answer isn't to boycott immigration reform, it's to boycott new legislation of all kinds. If, in theory, 15 Senate Democrats flipped on ObamaCare and agreed to some sweeping GOP plan to scale back the law, why bother passing that if you don't trust O to carry it out? Blaming Obama's executive power grabs is a convenient way for Boehner, Ryan, Rubio et al. to dodge the real problem within the caucus, which is that conservatives don't trust their own leadership to demand real, measurable border security improvements as an absolute prerequisite to legalizing illegals.
And yet, per the last excerpt, here's O now rattling his saber by suggesting he might do something on legalization himself if the House effort falls apart. His thinking, I guess, is that Republicans will be frightened by the idea of him taking all the political credit for legalization and therefore they'll act to preempt him, but it may backfire by convincing conservatives that Boehner and Ryan are right — Obama really can't be trusted in this area, in which case why are House Republicans bothering with new legislation at all? Maybe O's finally decided that he'd prefer to have the House bill fail so that he can legalize illegals by executive order, and yet he feels obliged to wait until the House effort collapses so that he can claim he was "patient" and acted only when Congress proved that it was incapable of doing so. Could he sell that line to the American public? Maybe, yeah.

I love food in a bowl. Macaroni…corn flakes…ice cream…
Each one of those things makes me happy, gives me that warm fuzzy feeling that makes a great bite of something worth the time, expense or both.
When I travel and know I may never return to the area of the world I am I always ask "if I never return, what is the one bite I should remember "insert city name here" by?
In St. Louis the answer was chicken and biscuits. Gosh. That seemed pretty pedestrian but since I asked I took the advice. That bite came so long ago but I still remember the buttery biscuits over a chunky and creamy chicken stew. I was traveling alone for business and remember that evening not just for the meal but because after dinner I went to the lobby bar, busy with folks participating in the Variety Club Telethon. Lou Rawls was the celebrity host and chat with me about the mission of the organization. It was just a few short years after our son died and he was very kind. It was exactly 23 years ago this month because my best memory of that trip, however, was coming home and finding I was expecting our son.
Chicken and biscuits…food in a bowl…warm fuzzy…this is how my mind works.
My friend recently asked me if I had a good recipe for chicken and dumplings. Honestly I had no idea what the difference between chicken and biscuits and chicken and dumplings was. The Internet is a beautiful thing. I did a little research and learned dumplings and biscuits are made from the same biscuit mixture, which varies regionally, but cooked differently.
The chicken is cooked in a liquid (usually water which miraculously turns to chicken broth when simmered with a chicken and other good stuff) and then removed. The biscuit mixture (I saw some recipes where the only biscuit mixture preparation was "pop open the tube") is dropped in the broth where it turns into moist, dense drops of goodness called dumplings. The broth is then thickened and the chicken and vegetables are added back in and simmered a bit more to cook the chicken and dumplings through.
Chicken and biscuits are a savory chicken stew finished in the oven with biscuits baked on top. If you put the mixture into a bowl, cover it with a pastry dough and bake you've just made chicken pot pie.
At our house we like the stew straight in the bowl. I have played around with some ingredients and offer you my twist on this savory chicken recipe which when eaten from a bowl is meant to bring back a memory of home.

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – The York College softball team split their two games in the opening round of the Virginia Wesleyan College Beach Bash on Friday in Virginia Beach. The Spartans downed Lynchburg 6-2 in the opener before falling to Meredith 3-2 in the nightcap.
In the win over the Hornets, the Spartans jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first. Lynchburg answered with a solo home run from lead off hitter Jessi Hall.
The Green and White recaptured the lead in the third as Hannah Hugel led off with a bunt single. She stole second and moved to third on a Cara Rubinaccio single. Hugel came into score on a Brittany Therres ground out to second. Therres would reach first on an error as the Spartans had runners at first and third with no outs. The Spartans wouldn't be able to plate another run in the frame as they led 2-1.
York extended the lead with two runs in the fourth courtesy of a Rubinaccio RBI single and a Therres sacrifice fly to center. The Green and White pushed the lead to 6-1 with two more runs in the fifth with an Erin O'Leary RBI single and a Hornet error allowing another Spartan run.
Hall closed out the scoring with her second home run of the day to lead off the sixth providing for the final 6-2 margin.
Therres earned the win as she threw five strong innings, allowing a run on three hits with one walk and one strikeout. She improves to 2-2 with the victory. Cory Urkuski threw the final two innings, allowing a run on two hits with a walk and a strikeout.
Kaitlyn Morris suffered the loss as she allowed four runs, two earned, on six hits in 3.1 innings. She walked one and did not record a strikeout. Elizabeth Fioretti relieved Morris and allowed two unearned runs on four hits in 3.2 innings of action.
Rubinaccio banged out a career-high four hits in five at bats while she also drove in one. O'Leary added three hits, an RBI and two runs scored. Therres was 0-for-3 with two RBI.
Hall provided the majority of offense for Lynchburg as she was 2-for-3 with the two solo homers.
In the contest against Meredith, all the offense came in the first inning of play. York got two runs in the frame as Vanessa Mendez had an RBI fielder's choice while O'Leary plated the Spartans' second run with an RBI fielder's choice. The Spartans left two runners on as took the 2-0 lead.
The Avenging Angels scored their three runs on a three-run home run by Emily Cooke.
The Spartans got just two more hits the rest of the way but couldn't get the game-tying run across the plate.
Freshman Sarah Thacker took the loss as she allowed three unearned runs on two hits with three strikeouts and one walk in six innings of work. She falls to 0-2 with the loss. Carrie Webster earned the win as she went five innings, allowing two runs on one hit with four walks and a strikeout. She improves to 2-0. Amanda Beirne picked up the save, allowing no runs on two hits to close out the Meredith win.
Rubinaccio, Mendez, and Katie Wickert each had singles for the Spartans. Cooke finished with three RBI to pace Meredith.
The Spartans return to action with a pair of games on Saturday in the tournament. The Spartans are slated to face Randolph-Macon and Virginia Wesleyan during day two of the tournament.

Warren Anderson Named Assistant Vice President for Diversity Initiatives at Clarkson University
Anderson started in January as Clarkson's new assistant vice president for diversity initiatives. He develops initiatives that support access and retention of underrepresented students, including women, minorities and those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds.
Every freshman who walks into Clarkson has a different story to tell. They grew up in city neighborhoods, suburbs, small towns and on farms and were raised and educated in a variety of family situations and schools. Clarkson works to provide each of them with an opportunity to weave their backgrounds into their educational experiences.
Anderson works to make certain that every student finds their niche while at Clarkson, regardless of their background. He plans to build relationships with underrepresented groups to allow them to thrive in any situation they're in while at Clarkson or beyond.
"My job is to make sure we are providing them a platform to graduate from Clarkson as prepared as possible. We need to do everything we can to minimize the barriers students come in with. They can be as successful as they want to be because we've given them the most holistic education possible," he said.
Anderson will also collaborate with Clarkson's admissions office to build relationships with high schools across the country in order to recruit talented students from underrepresented groups for years to come.
"I think we have the opportunity to do some really magnificent things related to diversity and recruiting, retaining and graduating underrepresented groups on campus. To have the opportunity to come to an institution with such a stellar reputation, and to do the work I want to do, it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up."
Senior Vice President and Provost Charles Thorpe said Anderson will foster dialogue across campus and create opportunities for students from different backgrounds to learn from each other. "He's immediately jumped in, become a part of our community and started to transform us. He makes a great impression on everybody."
Anderson has already developed a rapport with faculty and students since he arrived at Clarkson, Thorpe said. "He challenges and empowers the students. It's 'Let me help you figure out how you can make a positive difference.'"
Anderson grew up in Philadelphia and credits a series of mentors he had with opening his eyes to the variety of opportunities that existed if he worked for them. Likewise, he wants to make sure underrepresented student groups at Clarkson are aware of all the opportunities that are available to them.
He received a bachelor of arts from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania in 2000, a master's of education from Eastern University in St. David's, Pa., in 2004 and an Ed.D. in higher education with a focus in administrative leadership from Widener University in Chester, Pa., in 2012. He previously worked at the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, where he served as the director of student access and support from 2006 to 2008 and as the assistant vice president for student affairs at East Stroudsburg University from 2008 to 2012. Prior to that, he was a director of student activities at Chestnut Hill College, a direct service coordinator for the Philadelphia Education Fund, an assistant director of student activities for the Penn College of Technology and assistant director of admissions for Mansfield University.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Jeff Fuller messed up the lyrics in "O Canada" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" before the Toronto Blue Jays hosted the Houston Astros on Wednesday.
Fuller's first attempt at the Canadian anthem went awry when he lost track of the words. With some fans booing and others cheering, the tenor started over again in the middle of the diamond, but forgot the words and stopped.
Several Toronto players laughed, including third baseman Brett Lawrie, who is a Canadian citizen.
Fuller then began "The Star-Spangled Banner" and mixed up the words. He kept going and finished.
The Blue Jays' mascot greeted Fuller as he left the field. Toronto manager John Gibbons shook Fuller's hand.
"Poor guy, nowhere to hide," Gibbons said. "I admire him for sticking out there and doing it."
Tweeted Lawrie: "Ahah how bout the guy singing the national anthems today ?? Ahah woee boyy."
Toronto lost 10-1 to the Astros.

How the NBA Rules on Fouls
Just two rounds into the playoffs, there have been plenty of fouls and confrontations for the NBA to review. Just yesterday, they announced that Kendrick Perkins would not be suspended for elbowing Mikael Pietrus in the throat, despite previously saying elbows were an automatic suspension.
So, I must ask, how does the NBA come to their conflicting decisions?
Though some in the Tinfoil Hat Brigade think there are more sinister motivations behind the NBA's inconsistent rulings (MONEY!), I have only one explanation.
Somewhere, deep within the NBA's headquarters, there is a room. In that room, Stern and Jackson gather around a circle, which is broken into sections. The sections have labels: Suspension, $25,000 Fine, Flagrant-1, Flagrant-2, and No Action. Commissioner Stern grabs a chicken and bites off its head. He places the chicken in the center of the circle. The chicken walks, the chicken falls, and the NBA's ruling is made.

Laila Ali: Having a Homebirth!
Laila Ali, Muhammed Ali's (the great boxer) daughter, says she is going to have a homebirth with a midwife when she delivers in about 3 months.
In the "It's a Small World" category...
My mom used to babysit for Angelo Dundee, Muhammed Ali's trainer for the entirety of Ali's career.
When Ali was still Cassius Clay, Dundee brought him to Orlando for a fight and they came to our house before mom and dad went out to dinner with them.
Helen Dundee, Angelo's wife of more than 50 years, took my mom for her only tattoo... the symbol of Walt Disney World (no longer used) - mouse ears on the world with longitude and latitude lines - on her shoulder.
How cool is that that Laila (to whom I spoke once when I worked at Disney World) is having a homebirth?!

This is one in a series of posts on when and where to use a distributed architecture design in your organization's computing needs. You can find the main post here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/buckwoody/archive/2011/01/18/windows-azure-and-sql-azure-use-cases.aspx
Organizations often need to share all or part of a data set, which is consumed by other systems. These systems can be on-premise or at another location, or even at a different organization.
Many times these systems use a well-defined data interchange system, such as EDI or other standards. In the case of a trusted system, simply using a direct connection into another database is the process used to transfer data. This process might be one-way or bi-directional.
But there are systems that transfer data back and forth in stages using intermediate systems. A typical data flow in this case looks similar to the following:
In this example, the owning system contains data set A. This is set to a staging system or server, where the receiving system collects it. The receiving system contains data set B and works with data set A to create a new data set, C. This new data is consumed by the original system to complete the cycle. A concrete example is an inventory control system. Data set A is the original inventory list, shipped to a manufacturer. The manufacturer consumes the inventory available, orders and components, and returns the ordering bid with any changes to the staging server as data set C. The data is consumed by the originating system and components are noted in the overall flow of data set A.
Note: Normally this is solved with a full EDI implementation, but this process is still a common practice.
There are other examples, but the general concept is one where the need is for two, possibly untrusted systems to share a common source of data.
One possible solution is to segregate the data that is being transferred into an agree-upon set of entities that can be added or edited real-time, where both systems (or many) feed from the same data set instead of shipping the data. This removes latency, improves data quality, and shares the cost of the data. Also, security is increased because there are no shared logins - each firm gets its own.
One consideration with this layout is that the source systems must be altered to use a shared data set. If this is not possible, this is still a possibility as the system can be used as it was before - a data transfer - but the data can be cleansed real-time by both systems. It's also a more secure and shared-cost system even if used in the original manner.
Security is a concern in this arrangement, so it's best to understand exactly how the security works in SQL Azure: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff394108.aspx
Another possibility to solve this pattern is to use Data Sync, in many different arrangements that involve SQL Azure. You can learn more about it here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sync/archive/2010/10/07/windows-azure-sync-service-demo-available-for-download.aspx

He received honorary doctorates from the oldest Canadian university (Université Laval) and from the youngest (Thompson Rivers University) in 2005. In 2006, he received the Public Service Citation 2006 from the Association of Professional Executives of the Public Service of Canada, an honorary doctorate from Queen's University, and he was named Lifetime Member of the Canadian Economics Association in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the Association. In 2007, he was made an Honorary Member of the Association des économistes québécois - an honor bestowed on half a dozen persons over the last thirty years. He also chaired the Panel charged with the National Capital Commission Mandate Review that tabled its report in December 2006. In 2015, he received an honorary doctorate from Carleton University in Ottawa.
For some 18 years, he taught economics at Carleton University where he also was Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in the 1970s.

He was President of the Social Sciences Federation of Canada as well as of a number of other Canadian and Quebec associations. He was Secretary-Treasurer of the Canadian Economics Association from 1967 to 1981. In 1982, Gilles Paquet was awarded the Jacques-Rousseau medal in recognition of important contributions to research of a multidisciplinary nature, and in 1989 the Esdras-Minville medal for the corpus of his work in social sciences.

FQ : Can you tell us a bit about your new line, Greenfield Hill?
DS: Greenfield Hill is much cooler than what I usually do. I feel most comfortable with warm tones and browns. If the line sells well, I hope to build it out with more colorways.
FQ : Would you consider doing collections in other textiles? Voile's, corduroys, etc?
DS : Never flannels! I did a home dec weight, but the sales were disappointing. The main issue is that it's wide goods. Shops are built out for 45". Salespeople are too busy to waste time on things that won't sell well, and may not even show it. Greenfield Hill will include voile's. It is considered wide goods, but I think the shops will change over time.
FQ: Do you try to do things that are different?
DS: I just do what I like. I collect stuff at flea markets, but I'm cheap! The old feed sacks that I find are just so great. I don't get why it's not out there more. I hope my stuff still feels fresh, not like I'm trying to do reproduction. It needs to feel grounded, and to make sense I'd like to try to be more, "whoa, what was she thinking?" I don't want to be formulaic. I like to reach across different collections in a quilt, and I want my collections to reflect that. Each print needs to be strong on its own, and have integrity. It can't only work when combined with others. But it's hard.
FQ: How long does a new collection take to put out?
DS: It's pretty concentrated, because I'm usually working on deadlines. I have a huge archive of scans. I'll pull things that might be based on a single favorite, & build out with things to support it.
FQ: @greenowlquilts This librarian needs to know: any plans for another book?
DS: I am writing a new book for STC. It's a book of 20 traditional patterns. My background is in traditional quilts. I want people to look differently at traditional patterns, with bright colors, etc.
FQ: @greenowlquilts Denyse, what kind of direction do you think your next collections (post Greenfield Hill) will go in?
DS: Gosh, I don't know. I am particularly obsessed with printed plaids. It would be fun to do a predominantly plaid collection. Too soon to tell!
FQ: From website: any plans to release prints via Spoonflower?
DS: I've spoken with the folks at Spoonflower. I like what Heather (Ross) is doing with her limited edition prints. I'd love to support what Spoonflower is doing. Something like a cheater print would be a lot of fun!
FQ: @Cheryl_Arkison You are seen as a major inspiration to the Modern Quilt movement. What do you think of it, as a movement that is?
DS: I am really impressed with it. I think it's great. I love the mix of physical guilds and how the web is being used to create a community.
FQ: @ObsessCreative Do you have particular motifs you like best over others, such as flowers or birds, etc.
DS: I definitely go for geometrics more. They are easier for me to draw! I work in Illustrator. I love medallions and other geometric designs, because they are easier for me to draw.
FQ: @waycoolkid I would love her wisdom on breaking into fabric design.
DS: It's a competitive industry, but I would encourage anyone to pursue what they love.
FQ: What is something that not a lot of people know about you but you wish more people could know?
DS: That's a really hard question. (We at FQ agree!) Just like everyone else, I have good days and bad days! And that I'm really just a normal, down-to-earth person
FQ: @ObsessCreative So you plan the whole design out in Illustrator? Do you transfer that design on paper?
DS: I start with something that's a scrap for inspiration. Then I have to recreate it, because I might not have the full repeat. I have someone who helps me with the repeats. I once designed a typeface! This was back when I was a student. It was relentless and repetitive, but I loved it! And when I drew that typeface, I learned how to draw in Illustrator. I am still a stickler for the precision of the drawings.
FQ : @TalkAboutFabric How do you seek out new color inspiration?
DS: It can be from anything! Even a tractor trailer line. There is a tractor trailer line whose colors are very appealing to me. I really notice not only the colors, but the proportions of each color to one another. That's what is really important. Even 3 colors, in the hands of someone else, can look completely different. So I focus on how to make the combination work and how to keep it balanced.
FQ: Do you have any plans for hosting workshops like Heather Ross is doing (she has 2 sewing workshops in Jan)?
DS: I would love to go to Palm Springs! We have been working on doing something together, but haven't been able to pull it together (yet).
FQ; @Cheryl_Arkinson Denyse, for all your teaching in Improv, why are your patterns so precise and full of templates?
DS: (laughs) Good question! When I wrote my book that was my first time writing patterns. And to be honest, that's what the publisher wanted. The question is, how do you write a pattern about not using a pattern? I am thinking of experimenting with workshops where .maybe each participant comes having already made one block, & then explore what it would be like to recreate it in a looser fashion.
FQ: Any advice for just-starting-out crowd on how to avoid common pitfalls of industry?
DS: Don't assume that anyone else has your best interests in mind. You can certainly find a win-win, but don't be willing to sell yourself short. It's important to consider your lifestyle. Are you prepared to be facing deadlines over and over? My advice: set clear parameters for yourself, and remember what you want your day-to-day life to be like. As soon as a deadline is attached, just assume that it introduces a level of stress and may take some of the enjoyment away. I'm not saying I don't love what I do -- I do -- but it changes when you approach your hobby as a business.
FQ: @TalkAboutFabric What is recently new in your personal fabric stash, and what is your most beloved but not yet used?
DS: I don't buy a lot of new fabric, but I am really loving Anna Maria Horner's stuff. I'm not sure how I'll use it yet, but I want to own some of it! I also picked up some wonderful woven stripes in lavender at the flea market. It's beautiful, with a pinstripe of orange in it. I think it was an old shirting fabric.
FQ: @FollowBunny I know Denyse must be getting tired by now but I was wondering if she does any other crafts like embroidery or something?
DS: I would love to get into painting. I was knitting for a while, but I developed tendinitis in my elbow!
FQ: @rosanneduk: What is the most satisfying part of your business/quilting life and what causes you the most frustration?
DS: The thing that I find most enjoyable is seeing what people do with my fabric and patterns. It takes on a new life and becomes somebody else's thing. I think that's really cool.
FQ: @ObsessCreative Do you ever feel overwhelmed by too many design ideas?
DS: (laughs) Do I ever not?! That's the problem! I find that the act of recording my ideas an inspiration makes it much more manageable.
FQ: @TalkAboutFabric Are you able to go into a quilt shop incognito, or is it like Cheers where everyone knows your name?
DS: People rarely recognize me. I am almost always able to shop incognito. That's a great thing, but can also be humbling! I was at the Sisters festival & got to talking with women who had no idea who I was and had never heard of my fabrics or patterns. I think there are certain audiences, like the FQ readers, who are very familiar with my stuff, but there are other audiences really aren't familiar with my work.
FQ: Big thanks to Denyse Schmidt for taking the time to speak with us today, and thanks to everyone who submitted questions.
FQ : Final post-chat comment from Denyse for all of you FMF fanatics ... three words: "DON'T GIVE UP!" (plus a BIG smile : )

Comments about software and templates:
"I am impressed with your inventory software. I have been looking at various shareware and commercial home inventory programs for a couple of months trying to decide which to use. With the exception of the higher end business inventory programs your stands head and shoulders above the others. I'm anxious to get my registered copy...... Over all, you appear to have smoked your competition. An excellent program at a very fair price. "
" It is nice too find a company that makes easy-to-use software that does what I need. I didn't need bells and whistles, I needed software that does what I tell it to. Thanks for saving me from purchasing Quicken just for the bloated inventory feature. Your inventory manager runs circles around it! "
"Have been looking for a good Inventory program to inventory our valuables and can include JPG pictures. This looks exactly what we were looking for. "

Do you know what bugs are living near you? Are some spiders more common in cities or in the countryside?
Help us find out by joining in the new nationwide Bugs Count survey launched today, 8 June, by the Museum and OPAL partnership. The scientists asking for our help want to know what bugs are out there and the differences between what we find in the cities or rural areas.
Hunt for bugs in soil, short or long grass. Search on paving and outsides of buildings and on plants and shrubs.
On your bugs hunt, keep a special eye out for six specific minibeasts, including the small tortoiseshell butterfly (right), which is in decline. Use the Species Quest bugs sheet to help in your identification.
Find out how to join in the OPAL Bugs Count and what resources you'll need
You'll be surprised at what buggy creatures you can find in towns and the countryside.
On the recent Big Nature Count of our Wildlife Garden, we found over 60 species of bugs in a morning and the final count hasn't been done yet. As well as the unusual drab wood soldier fly, Solva marginata, discovered, there was a new Coleophora glaucicolella moth found, not recorded in the garden before. And just the other day, a Museum volunteer out on a field trip in Surrey's Bookham Common, found a population of scarlet malachite beetles, left, one of the UK's rarest insects.
Read the news story about the bug count and which six specific minibeasts you should look out for
Come along to the Museum's Attenborough Studio this Saturday, 11 June, to hear two Big City Big Hunt talks at 12.30 and 14.30 with our scientists. Afterwards, you can take part in various bug-hunting activities and pick up a Bugs Count pack in the Wildlife Garden.
What's a bug?
The term 'bug' is a widely used name for insects. In our Bugs Count we are including non-insect groups such as spiders, centipedes, millipedes and woodlice. These are all collectively part of the group called arthropods and are invertebrates.
True bugs are a specific group of insects that include shield bugs, water bugs, aphids, scale insects and others.

Four-hundred years ago Irish chiefs and chieftains still ruled as overlords in Tipperary. The O'Kennedys, in particular, were a powerful military clan and ruled over underchieftans such as the O'Tierney clan, who paid a fee to receive protection from the O'Kennedys while they ruled their own small territory.
This summer that time period in Tipperary's history will be remembered by a reunion of the various clans mentioned in the several hundred year-old Ormond Deeds, a set of documents which sheds light on the lives of those who lived in Tipperary so many centuries ago.
According to the webpage of the Clan Gathering 2008 on the website of the Tierney Clans Society (Cumann na gClann Ui Thighearnaigh):
The Clan Rally will take place August 22-24, 2008 in the Nenagh area of County Tipperary, Ireland.
This time we are departing from the 'traditional' format and are hosting a 'joint venture' Gathering with a number of Ormond Clans who are linked in history by references in an historic body of documents titled 'The Ormond Deeds'. These documents describe transactions and contain transcripts of deeds and agreements between the leading families of the Baronies of Upper and Lower Ormond. They were maintained in Kilkenny Castle by the Earls of Ormond. The documents contain transactions between The O'Tierney, O'Kennedy and O'Meara Clans and are witnessed by members of the MacEgan and O'Meagher Clans. It is these Clans that are now cooperating in the organising of this great Gathering.
For more info go to the Clan Gathering 2008 webpage. You may register to participate via this registration form.

The festival's fashion trends? Emma Watson did luxe glamour in a Louis Vuitton corset top, while denim cut-offs were the way to stay cool for Sienna Miller and Kate Moss. On feet, it was lace-up boots for Henry Holland, Pixie Geldof and Miller.

During the Precise cycle we have been working in building a new UI for System Testing, the desktop application to test your hardware with Ubuntu and report results to Launchpad and Ubuntu Friendly.
If you are running Precise, you can test the new UI searching the Dash for "System Testing". The new UI is now feature complete and you can start using it to test your hardware and submit your results to Friendly.
Here you can find the differences between the old UI and the new one:
I think it looks much better, doesn't it? The most important thing is that it builds the grounds to be able to keep making improvements to the UI, which were blocked in many cases by the old one.
Now we need to a lot of testing to make sure it is fully working when 12.04 LTS gets released. So, if you are running Precise, I encourage you to give it a try and report as many bugs as possible.
To file bugs, run the following command in a terminal:

By Talal Ansari
Barely 30 seconds after Shawna Haner adjusted her rearview mirror, tinkered with the temperature in her car and turned on the SideCar mobile app on her dashboard-mounted smartphone, the phone made a noise.
That sound meant a nearby passenger had requested a pickup and Haner accepted. In that moment, with her hands on the "10 and 2" position on the steering wheel, Haner became what SideCar calls a "community driver."
Haner is part of a new ridesharing app for smartphones launched in June that allows users to request a pickup and drop-off from SideCar drivers. She, like other SideCar drivers, are ordinary car-owning San Franciscans prescreened by SideCar before being given the green-light to engage in ridesharing.
But ridesharing apps like SideCar and its competitors, Uber and Lyft, are running into legal speed bumps along the way. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) sent cease and desist letters to all three companies in August, claiming the companies are "transportation carriers" that lack the required permits to operate in California. The CPUC fined the companies $20,000 each on Nov. 14. They have 20 days to pay the fine or appeal.
SideCar resists classification as a transportation carrier. In a press release, SideCar likened the term transportation carrier to calling "Airbnb a hotel chain, Travelocity is an airline, or that eBay is a store." SideCar also argues that the drivers are everyday people and not professionals, and payment for rides on SideCar are on a volunteer basis. The SideCar app lets passengers know what other riders have paid for similar trips based on over 50,000 SideCar rides. TO READ MORE CLICK HERE

My friend Mary Lesa posted something on my Facebook wall yesterday. My beloved home town was included in the 10 Best Small Towns in America..
Lewiston NY was ranked fifth on the list. Our town participated in the 2012 Best of the Road contest and rallied together to host the Road Bros in what turned out to be an epic visit.
Small towns can be quite amazing. It is difficult to explain unless you experience it. When you walk into your local cafe someone will know you. Your local pubs are filled with folks to clink your glass. The food you eat in local restaurants are not only prepared by your neighbors but they are likely family recipes passed from generation to generation.
To my friends in Lewiston and Youngstown, feel free to comment on this column and plug your restaurant or shop. Let's build some momentum for Shop Local Saturday.
"Like" my Facebook page and give yourself a shout-out to let folks know why it's not only fun but smart to shop locally.
I will feature as many as possible so come on, play!
Have a yummy day!
