The move comes after Chicago signed Browns practice-squad FB Tyler Clutts to their active roster.

Hall of Fame emotions run deep ... especially for those embracing immortalityTim Brown at Yahoo Sports3 days ago
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Under a tent pulled taut amid the leaves and bristles, they say they package immortality here. It is pinned to lapels, hoisted to the walls of the museum down the block, emceed by Gary Thorne, witnessed by the tens of thousands who believe.
This immortality has commercial breaks. It has temporary bathrooms. It is manned by troopers and storm fencing. If you're just visiting, it costs $40 to park on the locals' lawns, easy walking distance to immortality.
This immortality is bused from town with the previously immortalized, and Tom Seaver reminds those who will be speaking to above all remember the names of their wives and everyone laughs and then quietly repeats the names of their wives. Those who are nearly immortal, or once stood on the ball fields with it, they sell their signatures or raffle their company over drinks from card tables in town.
This immortality comes with a plaque and a ring and a dinner, an invitation to sit in the back of the tent next year, and a place in the hall with the rest of the guys, forever.
Greg Maddux entering Hall of Fame as he played: humble, brilliant yet commonTim Brown at Yahoo Sports4 days ago
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Greg Maddux is tan, reasonably fit and 48 years old. The glasses leaning on the brim of his cap – for reading, not blocking the sun – are the only clue he's aged to where he's not here to visit, but to stay. He'll be inducted to the Hall of Fame on Sunday. Word is, he'll go brief and precise with his speech, which should count as one final "Maddux" (what the kids are calling a complete game with fewer than 100 pitches, at which Maddux excelled).
He's here at the end of 23 seasons, 355 wins (he still thinks there's merit in those), more than 5,000 innings, four Cy Young Awards and 97.2 percent of the Hall vote, all built and maintained on a million tiny and fleeting decisions and, I don't know, the 100,000 pitches that resulted from them.
In the cerebral tangle that is an entire career and half-a-lifetime, there are events, such as a World Series championship. There are choices, such as leaving Chicago for Atlanta in 1992, leaving Atlanta for Chicago 11 years later, going West after that. And there are those million tiny and fleeting decisions. In a game of imperfect, a few count more than others.
Rangers start to rebuild in muck of lost seasonTim Brown at Yahoo Sports6 days ago
NEW YORK – By now you know the Texas Rangers have endured an excessive number of injuries and, partly as a result, aren't very good. Two nights ago, they lost to the New York Yankees. Last night, they lost to an obstinate tarpaulin. By Thursday morning, an emboldened toolshed (T-shirt inspiration: "We rake.") wanted its shot.
This is the team that won 91 games last year, 93 the year before that, 96 the year before that. The team with nine players on the 60-day disabled list. The team whose regular lineup, at a glance, suggests its league-worst record nevertheless qualifies as a lesser miracle.
"Seems our feng shui is a little off kilter," one team official observed.
In Arlington, Qi is the new WAR.
Rangers trade reliever Joakim Soria to TigersTim Brown at Yahoo Sports7 days ago
NEW YORK – Vulnerable in the late innings, the Detroit Tigers agreed to acquire veteran reliever Joakim Soria from the Texas Rangers in exchange for two young pitchers.
After the Rangers' rain-shortened game at Yankee Stadium, Soria smiled broadly and said, "I haven't been told it is official yet."
Rangers manager Ron Washington declined comment.
The agreed-upon trade would send right-handers Jake Thompson and Corey Knebel to the Rangers. Thompson, 20, is a second-round pick from 2012. He has a 3.13 ERA in 17 Class A and Double-A starts. The 22-year-old Knebel, drafted in the first round last year, has made eight relief appearances for the Tigers this season and has a 6.23 ERA.
The Tigers signed Joe Nathan this winter to a two-year, $20-million contract. Thirty-nine appearances in, he has a 5.89 ERA and has blown five of 25 save opportunities.
Soria has 17 saves in 19 opportunities, has a 2.70 ERA and 42 strikeouts to four walks. He is due the remainder of $5.5 million this season and the Tigers will hold a $7-million option for 2015.Thu, Jul 3110:08 AM PDTChi White Sox at DetroitPreview Game
Hours after being traded to Yankees, Chase Headley delivers winning hitTim Brown at Yahoo Sports8 days ago
NEW YORK – Chase Headley has come to New York, which, if you left off a couple years back with Headley an MVP candidate and in negotiations for what a San Diego Padres executive boasted would be the largest contract in club history, doesn't sound so bad.
It's not that Chase Headley.
This Chase Headley, the one the Yankees acquired Tuesday for two ballplayers and a promise to pay most of Headley's salary, hasn't played like that for a while and, therefore, isn't worth that anymore. In fact, though Headley remains a good defender, the numbers say the Yankees just downgraded offensively at third base, where they've been just average over nearly four months.
So, why did the Yankees, did Brian Cashman, even bother?
They had to try, that's why.
And in the 14th inning of his first day as a Yankee, some 4½ hours after he'd introduced himself to his teammates in the dugout – "Chase Headley, nice to meet you" – he pushed a single into left-center field and Brian Roberts scored from third base. The Yankees had won 2-1, and Headley was swarmed by his new best friends, and he emerged from the mob with Mark Teixeira hanging from his neck.
Cliff Lee returns, giving Yankees a possible trade target as deadline nearsTim Brown at Yahoo Sports9 days ago
NEW YORK – About five minutes before Shane Greene threw his first pitch in the Bronx on Monday night, Cliff Lee threw his first pitch in Philly. These would be unrelated events were we not in the final days of July, were the New York Yankees and the AL East not so mediocre, and were the Philadelphia Phillies not hard at another season of irrelevance.
As it was, however, the Yankees would have to decide if they would proceed with a rotation held together with Plan B's and reasonable intentions, and choose to believe the division was really that vulnerable, and then schedule the rookie Greene in front of the rookie Chase Whitley, then follow Whitley with David Phelps and Brandon McCarthy, and then assume this is the rotation (along with Hiroki Kuroda) that would make them great – or minimally postseason worthy – again.
It might be a lot to assume.
Brewers leadoff man Carlos Gomez defies conventional baseball wisdom with aggressive hitting approachTim Brown at Yahoo Sports10 days ago
WASHINGTON – Three pitches into Sunday afternoon's ballgame, Carlos Gomez, professional leadoff hitter for the Milwaukee Brewers, had a three-ball count. You know what Carlos Gomez did next. You know what 29 other leadoff hitters wouldn't do next. And you still know exactly what Carlos Gomez did next.
He swung.
He got a fastball, because of course he'd get a fastball from Gio Gonzalez on a 3-0 count, and he swung, because Carlos Gomez hunts fastballs, is a professional fastball hunter and hitter, and there's a finite number of sure-thing fastballs in one man's lifetime. It's best not to let them pass, particularly if you are Carlos Gomez.
That's why we watch him.
Live a little, man. Get after it. There's no book. Is it a sound baseball play? Maybe not. A good Carlos Gomez play? It works for him.
Nationals finding their footing and their placeTim Brown at Yahoo Sports11 days ago
WASHINGTON – The sweat is sneaky here this time of year. It feints. It leans to coy. It hides in places so intimate Anthony Weiner would not put it in a selfie.
So, basically, the sweat is there but it's not, least not until the air conditioning hits it, or the evening breeze, at which point comes the realization, "Damn, I seem to be sweaty."
Which is not what this is about, necessarily.
Except here are the Washington Nationals, the most interesting team in the game if not yet the best, and as one scout put it Saturday night, "I keep waiting for them to win more. Like they're missing something."
That's been the conversation, though the Nationals are not yet to 100 games, are tied for first place in the NL East, are fully healthy for the first time since opening day, and are endeavoring to play to the World Series expectations – not ours, but theirs. It's just, well, maybe they should be winning more, as if it were that simple, as if the Nationals themselves hadn't thought of that.Thu, Jul 314:05 PM PDTPhiladelphia at WashingtonPreview Game
Sources: Angels reach agreement to acquire Padres reliever Huston StreetTim Brown at Yahoo Sports12 days ago
The Los Angeles Angels continued their bullpen makeover Friday night when they reached an agreement to acquire veteran reliever Huston Street from the San Diego Padres in a six-player trade, baseball sources told Yahoo Sports.
As the deal was constructed, the Angels would send four minor leaguers – second baseman Taylor Lindsey, right-handed pitcher R.J. Alvarez, infielder Jose Rondon and another prospect – to the Padres in exchange for Street and minor-league right-hander Trevor Gott, a sixth-round selection from 2013. Lindsey and Alvarez are top-10 prospects for the Angels.
Leading to the July 31 trading deadline, the Angels have sought to rebuild their bullpen, with Street, the veteran closer who has converted 24-of-25 save opportunities for the Padres this season, the most critical addition.
Already, Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto had acquired right-hander Jason Grilli from the Pittsburgh Pirates and left-hander Joe Thatcher from the Arizona Diamondbacks over eight days in late June and early July.Thu, Jul 3112:40 PM PDTSt. Louis at San DiegoPreview Game
Jean Segura returns to the comfort of his team after terrible tragedyTim Brown at Yahoo Sports12 days ago
WASHINGTON – Jean Segura buried his son in the Dominican Republic this week, a boy named Janniel who was a few months short of his first birthday.
Segura sat Friday, four days later, at his locker here under the number 9. There'd be a game soon. Segura had returned from home to play in it. A teammate wrapped him in a hug from behind. "Gura," he said. And Segura held the man's wrists that were crossed over his heart. He smiled and blinked his thanks.
Segura is but 24, an age in which almost nothing can't be done. Or undone. Almost nothing.
He'd grown up in San Juan de la Maguana under a tin roof, fallen in love with baseball there, turned pastures into diamonds and trash into gloves and balls and bases. His story isn't so unlike those of the other boys who come out of the Dominican countryside, except that it is his, which alone makes it unique. That was his home and his family and his school he'd left at 16, and this was his journey to America and the big leagues and the Milwaukee Brewers, which alone makes it special. The story would always be about what could be done given the desire, what could be undone given the opportunity.

Appearance - Beer comes out of the bottle somewhat light in color, but by the time the glass is full, it's a rich mahogany. Do you know...where you're going to? Head fizzles down fairly quickly, very gentle film of foam on the top, and a nice 1 mm thick ring around the edge of the glass.
Smell - VERY nice. Roasted espresso, maybe some vanilla bean, just a touch of earthy hopness.
Taste - Perfect blend of sweet and bitter. The beer is a little colder than it's supposed to be served at - so at first, there is limited flavor. As it warms on the palate, a rich array of flavors dances out. Pipe tobacco, roasted malt, gentle vanilla, espresso, only the slightest hint of hop action.
Mouthfeel - Not as thick as it ought to be...although nicely carbonated. It expands on the tongue, and coats the palate with a tasty residue, finishes pretty wet. It would be hard to drink a lot of these.
Overall - I am impressed. I used to disdain bocks in general - this may have reopened my mind to them. Thanks Dark Horse.

Bottled September 5th 2013 and poured into a shaker pint May 9th 2014. $2.19 single.
Appearance: Initially pours a crystal clear brown color, but near the end of the bottle when all the sediment pours in, it changes into a diarrhea water color that's extremely hazy with a few floaters going around. There's about a finger of tan, soapy head, and no lacing. Head slims down to about half a finger and stays all the way through the drink, which is great, and why I've given this a 4.
Smell: It smells like wet coffee grounds. It really does. There's also a dopplebock-y malt sweetness in it that keeps it from being overbearing. Simple aroma, and also pretty faint -- based on the aroma, you wouldn't expect the bold flavors that come through.
Taste/feel: Oh, man! That's really nice. Coffee ground sort of flavor is strong, but the bitterness is pretty low thanks to a heavy amount of malty sweetness (due in large part to the style itself). Coffee all the way through this beer and almost nothing else but subtle sweet, bready qualities from the malt. No fruitiness that I can tell, no hoppiness -- nothing. The carbonation was a bit unexpected, as the carbonation is high and really prickly on the front of the tongue at first, but then it almost foams up a bit and just adds some more body to a medium bodied beer.
I should have figured Dark Horse wouldn't let me down, despite the disappointing aroma. The coffee grounds as opposed to full coffee beans give an interesting coffee flavor that's not often found in coffee beers -- it's more "gritty" tasting. This really as excellent coffee infused beer combined with a nice choice in style. The dopplebock and coffee combination is brilliant, as the sweet malts and bitter coffee grounds come together to make a beer that drinks awesomely, and tastes even better.

Maalik Wayns and the Ticking Clock
Just a quick note to observe the fact that Maalik Wayns has been activated by the Clippers. (Ben Bolch has it at the end of this article here for the LA Times... beware the paywall!)
Who cares? No one! Then why does it matter? Because it's January 3, and if he's activated it means Wayns is no longer injured which means he will almost certainly be cut (or traded) by January 10. See this article by the mighty Steve Perrin if you're confused. In said article Clipper Steve reports that Marc Stein reports that Maalik Wayns is on the list of a bunch of league-wide un-guaranteed contracts, throwing into confusion our local supposition that Wayns was effectively guaranteed-for-the-season because of his injury. But... it appears Wayns contract was NOT guaranteed as of December first.
So, in the next few days we should see some action, Wayns and perhaps Stephen Jackson will (probably) be cut by the Clips, reducing their roster to fourteen or thirteen... the Clips could then be lined up to chase a more effective "third big". OR, failing that, could re-sign Wayns or Jackson to ten-day deals. In the case of Wayns, I don't know why they'd do that, in the case of Jackson, maybe they keep him around because he's fairly large (in both good and bad ways), he has a way with a headband, and seems happy to be here.
Lamar Odom is set to be resigned this month! But should we really look to Lamar or should we move on! The Clippers are almost certain to waive Maalik Wayns and maybe Stephen Jackson so that leaves the roster at 13! Bynum and Odom? Odom and wait for Okafor! Odom and sign a Shannon Brown for Wing Athleticism - Our Version Of Pheonix Gerald Green?
What do you think the Clippers should do?
I actually like having Jack around. He seems really engaged and helping mentor our guys.
I would like to see Wayns waived to get a legit big, not sure who though. Alternatively, at least waive him to keep a roster spot open so we can wait and see what we really need the most later in the season.
It's hard because every single one of these waivable players is enthusiastic and seems to like being a Clipper...and, in the case of Jax, a positive influence on the team. But I suppose it's inevitable that one or two of these guys will have to leave for someone we need more.
Well I am really glad we can open up a spot by getting rid of Wayns. I am also glad that it could mean we see a proper back up big soon.
The Orlando Magic will waive forward Hedo Turkoglu at 5 p.m. on Friday, reports the Orlando Sentinel's Brian K. Schmitz. The roster move is a long time coming for the Magic, who have retained the veteran forward -- his contract especially -- as a potential trade chip.
^^^^ IS HE A GOOD OPTION! I have heard many say they would like to get Hedo
Odom seems to be the realest option and Bynum seems to be a good option. With those two I feel really confident we can make some nice noise.
Anyone Miss This?
Lamar put up 18 points 6 rebounds and 2 assist
I'd rather play the wait and see with Bynum. He's a game changer.
What If We Can Get Both Bynum and Odom
Bynum put up 36 against the Clippers against Deandre Jordan
Both of them could make serious noise for us!
It would cost us Wayns and Jackson unless we trade for Bynum which I don't see happening
If we can get bynum that would be the best case scenerio. But for
his contract minimum there will be quite a few teams interested.
Odom at this point is worse case scenario. Already missing 3rd
of the season including camps Odom realistically probably
won't be as effective as many expect.
Maybe his defense. But honestly at this point we need
some bench scoring. And Odom was painfully to watch
offensively last year, but made up in defense.
Hedu and Odom together may be interesting. What odom
lacks in offense Hedu could give us, and what Hedu lacks
in defense odom could give us.
The problem with Hedu is he is really slow and looks
out of it most of the time. Might kill the clippers style of play.
It would cost us Wayns and Jackson unless we trade for Bynum which I don't see happening
Then I feel sorry for whoever plays us in the playoff
If we get Bynum and Odom this will lead us more than WCF.
I did see a quote saying the Lamar was still on the radar and our players want him.
Where is Greg Oden? Didn't he do something with Miami?

http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2014/1/3/52 ... -cavaliers
He's an interesting guy. The only problem with a trade is that he doesn't have to play. What if he decides to be "injured"? If he retires whomever will have a big hole which is unfillable with a Free Agent this late. What of he decides to be a three point shooter?What if he decides to talk only in Klingon? In a way he calls his own shots.
The you tube stuff was from years ago. I'm still bothered by Jamison. He looks heavy and is a total bust.
i say we either let go of wayns or mullens possibly trade him somewhere for money or second rounder. Sign bynum and odom. Our bench would definitely be deadly and deep.
Holy hell. Whoever thought DJ was a capable NBA player and that Vinny not playing him was the reason he wasn't effective really needs to watch that Andrew Bynum video.
That's probably the worst defense I've ever seen. Man, he's come a long way thanks to Doc.....not because of more minutes.
omg.. i got caught up for like 45 minutes going through the other webpages that took me to other webpages... I ended up looking at hottest ass gifs on the internet... wtf.
Again, he was always very capable and much better then some here gave him credit for. Just another positive good sign when a young player is getting even better.
Yeah, I've been caught like that before... hypnotic, aren't they
Maalik apparently does not like the chatter about him... https://twitter.com/MaalikWayns2/status/419228377930035200
If he is talking about getting cut what does he have to really be mad about? He is a d-leaguer. Of course they'd cut him for proven talent.
Or maybe he cannot be cut bc he is guaranteed?
Miami has Oden for $900,000. He worked out Dec 27th. Will he be able to play at all? Spolstra said Greg would be saved for the PO's if he can play.
If you're Miami do you gamble on a guy who basically always been injured who wants to play versus a guy who's been injured maybe half of his career but has an attitude problem and may not want to play at all. Do they cut Oden? Also if they trade which they won't they have to eat his salary.
As I understand this and I can't do math Miami has 15 players and a salary of ~ $83.9 mil and hard cap is $71,748,000.
Does this mean anything??
I think you guys are spot on about Maalik going bu-bye. The paper today said although activated and even in uniform, he limps around the practice facility and is not really game ready. He was activated for a reason.

Images from the 30th Anniversary Mermaid Parade at Coney Island.
I had never been to the Mermaid Parade so I was happy that the early summer heat wave had dissipated and the rain clouds stayed clear of Coney Island on the 23rd of June for the 30th Anniversary of the Mermaid Parade. The weather was still bright and sunny, but the two hours or so I spent running up and down Surf Avenue taking pictures was pleasant and draining. Too much was going on to have covered it all, but I hope my selection of images gives you a good taste of what it was like witnessing the parade.

Small businesses can benefit greatly by taking the time to freshen their surroundings and create an environment that reflects their culture, core values, energy and business as a whole.There are ways to turn what you offer as a small business into a creative design solutions for the environment in which you do business.
Think of what your business offers, that which is unique, how you can exploit it and turn it into a creative marketing ploy for your business. Create a space so unique, anyone who walks into it cannot help but talk about it; not only while they are there, but when they leave too. Free marketing in the form of word of mouth!
Start by decluttering and orgazining the space. Dont keep what you do not need. Getting rid of the clutter will increase the positive energy in the space and allow you to focus on your business. As they say; cluttered desk, cluttered mind! This holds true for the office space as a whole.
Reassess your walls: Think of your walls as a blank canvas for a marketing opportunity for your business. Photos of work you have done or products you have produced can be printed on all sorts of mediums these days; canvas, aluminum or even printed to vary in sizes, large to small.Take your logo and be creative; apply it to a brick focal wall as graffiti art or spray it on burlap and create curtains for your entry. Have your business name printed on fabric and create custom throw pillows for your waiting area or as a pattern applied to furniture. This repetitive nature of your logo throughout the space will instill your brand, instead of being only on your entry sign. Custom wall murals are also a fabulous way to take something that is reflective of your business and
create a piece of unforgettable art.
Another option is to add color. Turn the colors you use in your business logo into the colors in your entry way, to welcome your clients into your space and rebrand yourself subconciously.If the colors work well together on a sign or business card, they can easily be applied to the space in subtle or eye popping ways; whichever
fits your needs. Take your brightest color and create a focal wall. Or find a patterned wall vinyl that incorporates all of your logo colors and add that to your office.
Its all in the details. Keep in mind that the small touches throughout the space can make a world of difference to those entering for the first time. Fresh flowers or plants can brighten up a space and increase indoor air quality. Found objects are a great way to reiterate what you do to your clients. For instance, if you are a film company, you can place antique cameras around the space. If you are a radio station, an antique radio can be the perfect conversation piece. If you create and market health drinks, having the natural ingredients in glass vases for your clients to see can be a great way to brand yourself throughout
the space.
When in doubt, contact a professional design firm for staging tips and a fresh outlook on the design of your space. You may be surprised at how something as simple as your environment can have such a huge impact on the marketing and sales of your business.

By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — For a few moments this weekend, leave the table, the laughter, the sharing, the games. Here's a special Thanksgiving story for you, one Robert Schuller passed on to us from his Sunday "Hour of Power" ministry at the Crystal Cathedral more than a decade ago. I found it tucked in an old file.
This story of a Gold Star Mother still makes this Marine veteran choke up every time, makes me grateful I'm alive, free, an American. You feel the American spirit of Thanksgiving at its finest in Schuller's narrative:
"Two retired United States Marines were a bit overweight and now had some creaking in their hips, but they still wore their dress uniforms when they were assigned to take charge of the USMC cemetery. This day they couldn't wait for the day to end. They were ready to close the front gate when they saw a large old Cadillac drive up with an old woman behind the wheel. This is what my friend writes: 'I thought, Oh gee, here goes another 15 minutes before we can lock up.'
"As she pulled her car into the curb, she got slowly out and said, 'Son.' I said, 'Ma'am, can I help you?'
"She took a long time to answer. 'Yes, can you help me carry some of these flowers?' And she had five little bouquets of flowers. She said, 'I move a little slow these days.' Then she asked, 'Son, where were you stationed?'
"I said, 'Vietnam, ma'am, ground pounder. '69 to '71.' She looked at me closer. 'Wounded in action, I see. Well done! Marine. I'll be as quick as I can.'
"I lied. 'No hurry, ma'am.' She smiled and winked at me and said, 'I'm 85 years old. I can tell a lie when I see it. My name is Joanne Wieserman, and I met a few Marines, and I'd like to see them one more time.'
" 'Yes, ma'am, at your service.' She knew exactly where she wanted to go. She headed for the World War I section, then, stopping at a stone, she picked one of the bunches of flowers out of my arms, laid it on top of the stone and murmured something I couldn't hear. But then I read the name on the marble: Donald S. Davidson, USMC France, 1918.
"Then she turned away and made a straight line for the World War II section. Stopping at one stone, I saw a tear roll down her check. She put more flowers on the stone with the name Steven X. Davidson, USMC 1943.
"Then she went further in the same row and laid another bunch of flowers on a stone with the name Stanley J. Wieserman, USMC 1944. Wieserman, that was her name! She paused for a second then said, 'Two more, son, and we'll be done and you can go home.'
"I didn't say anything but 'Yes, ma'am, take your time.' Then she looked confused, 'Where is the Vietnam section? Son, I seem to have lost my way.' So I pointed, 'That way, ma'am.'
" 'Oh,' she chuckled quietly, 'me and my age don't get along too well once in awhile.' And she headed down the walk, stopped at a couple of stones, then she found the ones she wanted and there she placed a small bouquet of flowers at the stone of Larry Wieserman, USMC 1968 (that's her name too). And then near it, she placed the last cluster of flowers on a stone with the name Darryl Wieserman, USMC 1970. She murmured a few words that I couldn't hear. 'OK, son, all finished. Just get me back to my car and you can go home.'
" 'Yes, ma'am. If I may ask, were these your kinfolk?' She paused, 'Yes. Donald Davidson, 1917, France, was my father. Stephen Davidson was my bother. And Stanley, you recognized the name, it's my name, he was my husband. And Larry and Darryl were our sons. All were killed in action! All were Marines.'
"She didn't say anything more as she kept walking to her car, opened the door, then closed it quietly. I watched. I waited, then as her car began to leave I quickly rushed to Kevin, my overweight Marine Corps buddy in his dress uniform. I ordered, 'Get to the front gate! Quick. Take the service road. We need to get to the front gate before her. We have got something we must do. So just do what I do. Don't ask any questions.'
"Kevin could see I was very urgent so we rushed ahead and got to the front gate before her car rounded the cemetery drive and aimed for the front gate. Kevin stood at his post, and I stood at mine. As the car came slowly to the gate, I shouted: 'Attention! Post arms!' We both saluted, and, as she drove through, I thought I saw her salute us back.

Never miss another 'The Albion Band' show
Albion Christmas: The Albion Band
This show takes you on a guided tour through the Christmas customs of Britain.
The Albion Band
Alongside Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention, The Albion Band is one of the 'Big Three' of English Folk Rock, fusing traditional British songs and tunes with contemporary instruments and sounds, and all formed by legendary band leader Ashley Hutchings.
2012 saw a complete reboot of The Albion Band, with the torch being passed to a newer generation of English folk talent. As ever, this band brings together some of the finest musicians and singers in the UK folk scene including Ashley's son Blair Dunlop, plus Gavin Davenport, Katriona Gilmore, Tom Wright, Tim Yates and Benjamin Trott.
This new line-up recaptures the spirit of The Albion Band's heyday with a rockier, edgier approach to traditional English folk music. Taking the unique character of classic era Albion Band and fusing it with award winning song writing and a contemporary rock and indie vibe, this is the new sound of 21st century English Folk-Rock.

[JURIST] The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) [official website] announced Friday the establishment [press release, PDF] of a new commission on human rights for the region. The body will be known as the Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) and was introduced [opening remarks] by Thailand Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva [BBC profile] at the annual ASEAN three-day summit in Cha-am, Thailand. The AICHR will be supported by financial contributions from the ASEAN member states, and ASEAN members have already pledged to provide $200,000 for the commission's first year. ASEAN leaders said the purpose of the body was to promote and protect of human rights in Southeast Asia:
The body was mandated to promote and protect human rights by promoting public awareness and education, providing advice services and capacity building to government agencies and ASEAN bodies, developing regional norms, obtaining information from Member States, engaging with stakeholders and other institutions, conducting studies on thematic issues as well as preparing reports to the ASEAN Foreign Ministers Meeting, in accordance with its Terms of Reference (TOR) prepared by the High Level Panel and approved by ASEAN Foreign Ministers in July.

When Rosa Mexicano—with its festive signage and signature margaritas—, the neighborhood responded with open arms.
At 5225 Wisconsin Ave., across from the south entrance to the Friendship Heights Metro station, the Chevy Chase Rosa Mexicano is the newest of three locations in the Washington, DC, area—the other two are at National Place and Penn Quarter.
The company has restaurants in New York, California, Florida, Minneapolis and Atlanta, but each one has its own menu variations and interiors. The Chevy Chase location is sleek with a vibrant, modern decor and an enclosed patio.
The Chef Behind the DC-area Rosa Mexicano Restaurants
Steven Lukis started out at Rosa Mexicano as the executive chef at the National Place location, and was promoted to regional chef. Today, he's working behind the scenes at all three locations, but he's hoping to make this Rosa Mexicano the next Chevy Chase "Cheers." He loves this area "because you have the best of both worlds. It's a neighborhood that feels like a city. You get the businesses, but you get families as well."
Lukis oversees all aspects of the operation, including ordering, staffing, designing new specials and providing the face behind this popular eatery. He's cooked on television with his son and local celebrities like JC Hayward and Fox DC anchor Allison Seymour.
His cooking career was inspired by his childhood, during which, Lukis said, "food was an important part of our family life. My mom is an excellent cook. I chose ... the hospitality industry, because I'm happiest making others happy. It was the perfect career choice for me."
Lukis grew up in Chicago. After high school, he "worked around the world." He spent two years teaching English and apprenticing at restaurants in Spain. "I loved the Spanish food, culture and language," he said.
He spent several years as a chef at restaurants in his hometown before moving to the DC area to be executive chef at Wildfire Restaurant in Tyson's Corner.
One strategy Lukis developed for Rosa's Chevy Chase location was offering small plates and weekday happy-hour specials designed to bring in regulars. The restaurant offers a variety of menu options with different prices, "so guests can afford to come multiple times during the month." He adds, "We want to become the local neighborhood place."
One way Rosa draws in crowds is with "Noche Caliente"—half-price appetizers, margaritas and sangria from 4 to 7 p.m. on weekdays. I've heard from local folks that Lukis' strategy is working, and Rosa Mexicano has been busy since its opening day.
The Food
If you've been to Rosa, you know about its table-side preparation of guacamole en molcajete (mixing together guacamole ingredients with a traditional lava rock mortar and pestle). This cilantro-laden avocado mixture is as fresh as it gets. Diners decide how spicy they want their guacamole, and then the ingredients—avocado, onion, jalapenos—are mixed and presented. Another standout is the restaurant's signature drink, the blissful pomegranate margarita, known for being fruity-sweet yet powerful.
Although there are many enjoyable savory dishes on the menu, my two favorites are the pato confitado and the lamb tacos. Pato confitado is roasted, shredded duck served in a creamy poblano pepper mole sauce with braised brussels sprouts, black mushrooms and butternut squash dumplings. Peppers, onions and salsa picante accompany the lamb tacos, which are flavored with hints of cumin and cinnamon. The tacos are a feast, and come with red-beanchorizo chili, warm corn tortillas, rice and beans.
They also have a "Young Amigos" (kids') menu, with upscale versions of Mexican favorites. (I've heard a few kids complain about the sweet potato fries that come with their dishes, but I'm a fan.)
The Dessert
If you have room, try the chorros en bolsa for dessert. They are hot Mexican doughnuts dusted with sugar, cinnamon and served with three delicious dipping sauces—caramel, chocolate and raspberry guajillo. For $7.50, everyone can share this satisfying sweet treat to end the meal. Rosa Mexicano also serves several sorbets and ice creams, including sweet potato and rum raisin, prickly pear with blueberries and Mexican chocolate mole sorbet.
Welcome, Rosa—Chevy Chase is glad to have you in town.

One nation, but not so indivisible anymore

We wish you the best of luck with this. We feel your pain. If we can speak frankly, it's been coming for a long, long time.
We'll keep the West Coast, Nevada and Hawaii, New York, the rest of the Northeast and all the other states that turned blue on election night. You guys get Texas, Mississippi, the rest of the Confederacy and all the other states that turned red on election night. Alaska can do whatever it wants. It does what it wants anyway.
One caveat here. We've been asked by the citizens of Austin, Texas, to give them sanctuary, so we'll keep Austin as a territorial protectorate, along with Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Samoa, and you can have Key West.
We get Meryl Streep, Woody Allen, Bill Maher, Katy Perry and Jerry Seinfeld, and you get Ron White, Jeff Foxworthy, the Osmonds, Larry the Cable Guy and all the NASCAR people. We'll split custody of the NFL and the NBA
We get Bill and Hillary, Jennifer Granholm, the Obamas, Elizabeth Warren and the new Kennedy kid, and you get Rick Perry, Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, Jim DeMint, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham and Todd Akin.
And no hard feelings, but what this means is that we'll own 86 percent of America's venture capital and have 92 percent of the young entrepreneurs. For the first time ever, we'll get to keep 100 percent of our tax revenue (go ahead, look it up), and for the first time ever you'll get the satisfaction of paying for your own schools, hospitals, military bases, bridges, highways, dams and flood control. This may strike you as a real hardship, but trust us on this one: Paying for your own stuff can be incredibly rewarding.
Just so there aren't any surprises, when this divorce is final, the blue states (we haven't settled on a name yet) are going to be pro-choice, anti-war. We'll own most of the country's fresh water, 95 percent of the best wines, most of the cheese and natural gas and low-sulfur coal, all of the redwoods, most of the pine forests, the best beaches and stem cell research.
Of course, you also get 99 percent of the Southern Baptists, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, most of the mosquitoes and the obese people (and all of their health care costs), 96 percent of the televangelists, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Dick Morris.
One more thing. We're taking the good weed. The pot they grow down around Chihuahua, Mexico, is all yours. And while we're on that subject, the southern border is yours too, except the California and New Mexico parts
What's left to say that hasn't been said? Fact is, this was never going to work. Most of you folks believe that climate change is a lot of hooey and Earth was made in seven days, 6,000 years ago. We just can't go there. But we gave it a shot! Two hundred years is a long time to beat your head against the brick wall of an unhappy marriage.
A lot of historians have argued that we would have been a whole lot better off going our separate ways in 1861. Sure, Abe Lincoln was a Republican then, but today he'd be as blue as the ocean. He tried. He thought we could transcend our differences and learn to live with one another.
Even the Lincolns of the world make mistakes. It's time to move on. We wish you well, and let us know how it's working out.

McALESTER —
More help is needed for the annual Community Christmas Dinner, say volunteers helping plan the annual event.
Two of the reasons for needing more help this year is the projected need, based in part on those who participated in the recent Pittsburg County Community Thanksgiving Dinner.
Another factor is the pending liquidation of Hostess Brands, Inc., which includes Wonder Bread, Over the past few years, the Wonder Hostess Bakery in McAlester had helped with the Community Christmas Dinner by donating rolls and dessert pastries.
Anyone wanting to help can send a donation to Community Christmas Dinner; P.O. Box 759; McAlester OK; 74502. Checks can be made payable to Community Christmas Dinner.
The dinner is open to anyone living inside the city limits of McAlester and Krebs who wants to participate. As in years past, no age or income guidelines are in place, volunteers said.
To help volunteers in planning the dinner, anyone living in McAlester and Krebs who would like to participate is asked to go ahead and phone in a reservation.
The number to phone this year is 918-421-2920. A cut-off time of 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve has been set for those phoning in reservations to participate in the holiday dinner.
Also, anyone wanting to volunteer to help with deliveries of the meals on Christmas Day can phone the 918-421-2920 number to make arrangements to do so.
Once again this year, no sit-down dinner will be served at a central location and no meals will be available for pick-up or carryout, volunteers said.
All of the meals will be delivered on Christmas Day to McAlester and Krebs residents who phoned in and made a reservation in advance, according to volunteers planning the event.
