ASU's Will Sutton named AP All-American
Sutton ranked fifth in the nation in tackles for loss and 13th in sacks during a season in which he was named the Pac-12 Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year.
The Corona, California product has also been named to All-American teams by Sporting News, the American Football Coaches Association, the Walter Camp Football Foundation, CBS Sports, Lindy's, Athlon Sports and Scout.com.
"That recognition, Will would be the first one to tell you, is a reflection of his teammates and the commitment they've made to be good," Arizona State head coach Todd Graham said Tuesday. "I'm really proud of him and I'm proud of our guys and we're awful proud to have a consensus All-American, the player of the year in the conference, that means we're doing some good things defensively, for sure."
He is the 18th consensus All-American in Arizona State history and the first since kicker Thomas Weber in 2007.
Sutton and the Sun Devils will play Navy in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco December 29.

Great app
Got it mostly for Loud Speaker but have found many other features very useful. I love having the loud speaker automatically enabled during hand held calls but the speaker also automatically enables when using Bluetooth headset. This disables the Bluetooth headset and routes voice thru Loud Speaker until the $ key is pressed. Obviously, I'd like to minimize key presses during calls. Is there a setting to keep loudspeaker off automatically when using Bluetooth headset?
Thank you for your time and efforts.

Sultan, I have no problems with you making a Pro version but I think from the perspective of a free version user, it's not really cool when you constantly take away features (like the backup/restore) and add it to the Pro version. Just my 2 cents.
Sorry, but my app doesnt check for bluetooth status for phone calls.

however, Pro is Pro, and free is free, you get almost everything the app can do for free, if you want to backup and restore AOSLED settings or transfer them to another device, then you need to Pro version, this was the case from the beginning when Pro version was first released, im not sure who told you otherwise.If you like my app hit the Like button in Advance OS and LED Facebook Page to download (OTA), stay updated with FB News Feeds, or simply follow Twitter tweets

And....yet more aggro.
Every single change that's ever been made to this app has been communicated clearly. During the early days of the migration from free to free-or-pro everthing was discussed publically and feedback was taken before decisions were made.
Seriously, the reaction and the attitudes to ONE author of one (pretty amazing) app makes me realise one of the reasons why nobody bothers coding anything worthwhile for the BB. I could log out of crackberry for 5 months, return, check the apps forum again, and still see the same old crap. After a 5 month holiday I virtually guarantee that one of the 'top' threads will be about berryweather icons, bebuzz, or a pointless kindle app which'll allow me to try to read a book on a 5cm screen.
Meanwhile, the apple appstore is absolutely busting at the seams with professional software to do almost anything you need.
And still, one guy codes a sexy bit of kit for next to nothing, and gets a stack of negative feedback from people who think they deserve stuff for nothing.
It's frustrating, and one of the many reasons I'll be sticking my 9900 in the bin once my contract's up and I jump ship to (probably) apple. And no, I'll not be 'waiting' to see if bb10 gets the support that it needs, because I've already played that game with Commodore Amigas, IRiver MP3 players and the like. Superior hardware counts for nothing, software and developer support is everything.
Wish more people would realise this then perhaps I wouldn't have to intentionally downgrade hardware just to experience a more pleasurable user interface and software support.

I realise that this has now strayed a little from the topic of this thread, so I'll be brief.
My (elongated) point was that jumping ship to apple will definitely result in access to a wealth of pro/semi-pro apps.
This cannot be said of BB, pure and simple.
Despite this, when a developer such as Sultan comes along and grafts his nuts off to produce a decent product, the criticism comes rolling in. Constructive criticism is a good thing. Idiots whining about how they 'weren't informed' is something else altogether. Especially when every single change to this app has been announced...
- in this thread
- on the website
- on appworld (as part of the description)
It's infuriating, and that's just to me! God knows what it's like for a developer to have to deal politely with this garbage.

Dear Sultan,
Many thanks for developing such a fabulous app and I have to say you have done a brilliant job at that !!
I have downloaded the free version yesterday and soon want to upgrade to the Pro one... though have few questions please..
1. I want the battery % and temp icon on home screen but dont see them (I've enabled both battery monitor & battery usage features)
2. Are these features theme specific ? As my current theme just shows my mail and sms icon on my homescreen.. infact want to make them disappear and just use the battery % and temp icons.. is that possible..
Your help on the above 2 queries will be really appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

Methodist Sugar Land Hospital's Advanced Wound Care Clinic Opens - Join Us for an Open House!Sugar Land, TX - 6/15/2012
Methodist Sugar Land Hospital is pleased to announce the opening of its new Advanced Wound Care Clinic – another important step forward in the hospital's commitment to bring new services and expert care to Fort Bend and surrounding counties.
Dr. Nicholas Desai, DPM, Medical Director of the Advanced Wound Care Clinic
Located on the Methodist Sugar Land Hospital campus in Medical Office Building 3, suite 150, the Advanced Wound Care Clinic provides state-of-the-art care for non-healing wounds through proven wound care practices and advanced clinical approaches.
More than 6 million people in the United States suffer from chronic wounds caused by diabetes, vascular disorders, traumatic injuries, pressure sores, surgeries and other conditions that slow down the body's healing process.
"The treatment of chronic wounds is a rapidly growing need here in Fort Bend," said Chris Siebenaler, CEO of Methodist Sugar Land Hospital. "Our new service will play an important role in improving the quality of life of patients suffering from wounds that require the highest level of care."
The Advanced Wound Care Clinic's team of wound care physicians, nurses and medical professionals will develop a customized approach for each patient, one designed to address the patient's overall health and lifestyle.
"Non-healing wounds are often associated with inadequate circulation, poorly functioning veins and immobility," said Dr. Nicholas Desai, DPM, Medical Director of the Advanced Wound Care Clinic. "These types of wounds occur most frequently in the elderly and in people with diabetes – populations that are sharply rising as the nation ages and chronic diseases increase. In order to develop successful treatment plans, we must take into consideration each patient's underlying condition and unique medical needs. Our collaborative approach enables us to work directly with the patient's physician and other departments within the hospital to deliver wound care quickly and effectively."
In addition to a highly trained and knowledgeable staff, the Advanced Wound Care Clinic will benefit from the latest technological advancements in wound care. For example, the center will house two new hyperbaric chambers for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – a safe and evidence-based treatment proven to speed the healing process in certain types of wounds. During the treatments, the patient breathes 100 percent oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, quickly increasing the concentration of oxygen in the bloodstream, where it is delivered to a patient's wound site for faster healing.
"Essentially, hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps heal the wound from the inside out," Dr. Desai said. "This therapy can help reduce swelling, fight infection and build new blood vessels, ultimately producing healthy tissue."
Potential patients do not need a doctor's referral to come to the Advanced Wound Care Clinic. Indications for wound care include diabetic wounds, pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, non-healing surgical wounds, complex soft tissue wounds, traumatic wounds, wounds caused by radiation therapy and infected wounds. Please call 281-275-0770 to schedule an appointment; for more information, visit MethodistSugarLand.com.
You're invited!

Trout, Eel, and Ocean Fish: James Prosek and the Articulation of Nature
Sunday, September 1, 2013
3:00 pm
The Clark warmly welcomes artist, writer, and naturalist James Prosek for a free lecture. Prosek discusses his work as an artist in the context of Audubon, Winslow Homer, and the American natural experience.
Prosek made his authorial debut at nineteen with Trout: an Illustrated History (Alfred A. Knopf, 1996), which featured seventy of his watercolor paintings of the trout of North America. He has written for The New York Times and National Geographic and won a Peabody Award in 2003 for his documentary about traveling through England in the footsteps of Izaak Walton, the seventeenth-century author of The Compleat Angler.
In 2004, Prosek co-founded a conservation initiative called World Trout with Yvon Chouinard, owner of Patagonia clothing company, which raises money for coldwater habitat conservation through the sale of T-shirts featuring trout paintings. His book Eels: An Exploration, from New Zealand to the Sargasso, of the World's Most Amazing and Mysterious Fish, published in September 2010, was a New York Times Book Review editor's choice, and is the subject of a documentary for PBS series "Nature" that aired in April 2013. He is currently working on a book about how we name and order the natural world.
Prosek is a curatorial affiliate of the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale and a member of the board of the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies.

Dorothy may have decided she didn't need to venture farther than her Kansas back yard to find her heart's desire after a trip to Oz, but if she'd made it to New Zealand, well, that story might have had a different ending. That's the only conclusion I could come to after a too-short, jampacked, how-could-you-not-fall-in-love-with-this-place weeklong fam trip in June that left me planning my return trip even before my plane's wheels hit the runway at my hometown Boston airport.
I have to admit to one caveat: Like so many North Americans, New Zealand was on my bucket list, so I likely was predisposed to be wowed. But I had no idea the variety of experiences such a small country could pack—from enjoying the metropolitan sleek and chic of Auckland, to having amazing outdoor adventures in Queenstown, to learning about Maori culture and heritage in Rotorua.
Suffice to say I thought Tourism New Zealand nailed it when they debuted their new slogan at the MEETINGS trade show in Auckland that rounded out our stay: Beyond Convention. While there are no shortage of meeting spaces, from exquisite boardrooms and small conference spaces to gorgeous venues that can accommodate thousands, it's the culture, the scenery, the natural beauty, and the easygoing-yet-efficient Kiwi spirit that convinced me this is a must-do destination for North American groups looking to experience the trip of a lifetime.
Getting There: Yes, it's a long flight. But Air New Zealand makes it relatively painless to cross the International Dateline.
Rotorua: Exploring the cultural and geological highlights, meeting space, and dining options
Queenstown: Action, adventure, and very cool meeting space are on the agenda
Auckland: Meetings in the city, plus harbor cruising, SkyJumping, and wine tasting

But, what is love? How can we know? This statement is bandied about by such a large majority of humanity that it has become nearly emptied from overuse. So, the question, then, is: "What is love?"
For some, love is an expression of emotion that grips the heart and fills the senses with all manner of stimuli. For others, love is that deep, self-satisfaction that comes from associating with another. But is that love?
God's word says: "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions and in truth" (1 John 3:18). So, love must be more than "lip service" and emotional attraction. In fact, there is nowhere in the Scriptures where love is an emotional attraction. So the question is: what do you mean when you say "I love you?"
In asking this question, let's measure it against the quality of love that the Word of God expresses: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
When saying "I love you" is this what you mean? Perhaps a better question is: when saying "I love you" is this what others experience? Do they experience patience and kindness and forgiveness and truth and hope?
We have the command to love in truth--and the only means of knowing that we do love in truth is to measure our love against the truth. As believers in Christ, there is no other comparison available. Let me challenge you: learn to love in a manner that expresses the qualities that are listed above. In so doing, you will fulfill the command to love "with actions and in truth."
Can you remember a time when YOU were loved with the qualities listed in 1 Corinthians 13? Is there someone in your life that needs you to express this quality of love?

Seeing is believing. The only thing better than following the journey of the dummy in these pictures would be viewing it in person.
Steve Wettschurack, who works with Bill Field in the Purdue University Extension safety program, uses a small grain tank cut in half with a walkway attached to show people firsthand how quickly someone can become trapped in flowing grain.
Key Points
• In a bin, corn up to your waist means you're trapped.
• You could be covered in just 60 seconds.
• There is never a good reason to enter a bin with the auger on.
With enough corn in the bin, the dummy would be submerged in about 60 seconds.
"The number of deaths in grain bins is up this year," Wettschurack says. "We expected it since the 2009 corn crop was poor quality." One reason Wettschurack does the demonstration is so those who watch it hopefully never see it in real life.
Stay on guard
"There's no excuse good enough, no reason strong enough, to convince me that you have to be in there with the auger running," Wettschurack says.
Follow the dummy's plight in this demonstration.
Remember, on your farm, no one will be standing by watching, ready to pull you to safety.
On all fours: Because the grain depth is fairly shallow in this bin, the dummy is pulled down on its side.
End of the line: Only a lack of more grain in the tank is keeping the dummy from being fully submerged.
Death watch: This picture resembles mourners gathered around an accident scene.
Always attempt a rescue
One thing Steve Wettschurack preaches is that rescuers must not assume it's too late. The mindset should be on rescuing the person alive, he emphasizes.
At least three types of rescue boards are available for grain bin entrapments. During his demos, Wettschurack shows how to insert a plastic set into the grain.
Many rural fire departments are buying these devices. Make sure the device is easy to get into the bin, Wettschurack advises.
Prepare for removal: Steve Wettschurack holds a plastic board that would be hooked to three other panels in a rescue.
Get help on the scene fast
A lifeline helicopter might be summoned if the victim of a grain bin entrapment is rescued alive. He or she may have medical issues that need prompt attention.
A three-person crew flies this helicopter out of a Clarian Arnett hospital in Lafayette, Ind. Fortunately, this landing was only a demonstration.
A true lifeline: Many communities are served today by medical helicopters that can quickly transport a badly injured patient.
Speaker's podium: Steve Wettschurack makes his point about grain bin safety by demonstrating a grain entrapment.
Guard against auger clogs
When Don Villwock, Vincennes, Ind., built a large grain bin, he installed this cage that goes over an unloading outlet in the bin floor.
The theory is chunks will break up once they hit the guard. Many grain bin deaths are attributed to someone climbing in with a pole to free the clog with the auger running. Once the clog is free, the person ends up clogging the opening.
Tip odds your way: This cage doesn't guarantee an auger won't clog, but it does help break and deflect chunks.

Economic development outlined in Hastings
Last year the Hastings Economic Development Corporation put in place a community incentive program through Hastings Utilities to help fund projects for businesses that already exist in the Hastings Community but also help recruit new ones. Last night the Director of HEDC Dave Rippe updated the Hastings City Council on two businesses that are part of the program and have seen success. Rippe says certainly anytime there is incentive funds involved it's used as a recruitment tool. Rippe says there are several things in Hastings that he points to, in effort to attract new businesses. Rippe was our guest on KHAS Radio's Closeup program, if you missed the interview feel free to download the podcast on our website at hastingslink.com

Designation of Na Wai `Eha marks a significant milestone in an ongoing battle over water resources that has unfolded for years in this region, as well as in many other communities across the state. Na Wai `Eha are perennial streams that traditionally supported a rich native aquatic ecosystem and the largest continuous area of taro production in the Hawaiian Islands. But large-scale diversions by sugar plantations have drained the streams dry for over a century and continue unchecked despite the modern decline of the sugar industry.
"For too long, a few companies have treated Na Wai `Eha stream flows as their private property, while public instream uses have gone ignored," said John Duey, longtime resident of `Iao Valley and President of Hui o Na Wai `Eha. "Now the Water Commission will be able to monitor and regulate water uses and ensure they are truly in the public interest."
Since the plantation era, two companies have controlled most of the stream flows of Na Wai `Eha: Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar (HC&S), a division of Alexander & Baldwin (A&B), which operates one of the last sugar plantations in Hawai`i on Maui's central plain; and Wailuku Water Company (WWC), formerly the Wailuku Sugar plantation, which sold off all its former agricultural lands for development and is now pursuing the business of selling water.
The designation of Na Wai `Eha means that these and other present and prospective offstream water users must apply to the commission for a use permit. While present users of Na Wai `Eha have a one-year window to apply for "existing uses," by law those uses are not grandfathered.
In deciding to designate, the commission emphasized the "serious disputes" over the region's water resources. During the commission's multi-step process extending over a year, numerous parties expressed their strong support for state control, including dozens of community members, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and the former and present mayors and water directors and the entire County Council of the County of Maui.
"We're proud to be a part of this collective effort to achieve the first-ever designation of streams for public management," said Irene Bowie, Executive Director of Maui Tomorrow. "Hopefully this will lead to similar progress for the many other streams and communities statewide needing proper stewardship."
The battle over Na Wai `Eha in recent times began in 2001 with action by Earthjustice and its clients to designate the ground water of the `Iao Aquifer, which underlies much of Na Wai `Eha and serves as the principal source of drinking water for Maui. In June 2004, Earthjustice filed a petition to amend the instream flow standards (IFS) of Na Wai `Eha, seeking to restore instream flows for a host of ecological and cultural purposes such as supporting native stream life and cultivation of the Native Hawaiian staple, taro. The commission held an extensive administrative trial on the IFS petition from December 2007 to March 2008 and should issue a decision on the IFS later this year.
The permitting process resulting from the designation of Na Wai `Eha will provide additional scrutiny of the companies' offstream water diversions.
"Designation is a critical step in public management of the precious waters of Na Wai `Eha," said Isaac Moriwake, an attorney with Earthjustice. "But it is only an initial step. We must remain vigilant to ensure that the many community members living in these valleys are empowered to have their water needs recognized, and that the precious waters of Na Wai `Eha are used justly for the benefit of all the people, not just a handful of private interests."
The decision to designate Na Wai `Eha is the first time the state has designated streams as a WMA. Since its establishment in 1987, the commission has only designated ground water for public management on Moloka`i and portions of O`ahu and Maui. Numerous cases have stemmed from the designations on O`ahu and Moloka`i, including the litigation over the water diverted by the Waiahole Ditch on O`ahu, which produced the famous Waiahole decision of the Hawai`i Supreme Court strongly reaffirming the principle of water resources as a public trust for the benefit for present and future generations.
"This is a fight worth fighting -- starting from each of our individual communities and reaching across the islands," said Duey.

President Obama's decision to support same-sex marriages is not only ground breaking, but will be one of the socially defining issues for his presidency. His first step towards equality came with the signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009; and what followed could only best be described as ending an era of sexual discrimination - the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010, clearly forecasted what this administration would focus on.
This tradition of advocating for equality has not stopped our President from doing what is right; as it has not stopped the GOP from commenting on Obama's decision as being political expedient in an election year, or any year over the past three years for that matter.
Many however find it hard to fathom that Republican legislators, both federally elected and at the state level, would not be in support of such a measure to legalize same-sex marriages - if only for the possibility for such couples to take advantage of numerous tax credits and benefits. But those that claim such political expediency in our President's decision are not only fighting progress, they are grasping onto a bygone era which openly discriminated against blacks, latino's and women too. These have been the same people who defend the "sanctity of marriage" by using the Bible as their one and only reference point do not realize that such vocalization is the equivalent of slapping our fore fathers square in the face.
Nate Silver reported in the New York Times, "(a)ccording to surveys included in the PollingReport.com database, an average of 50 percent of American adults support same-sex marriage rights while 45 percent oppose it, based on an average of nine surveys conducted in the past year.
This is a reversal from earlier periods: support for same-sex marriage has been increasing, and opposition to it has been decreasing, at a relatively steady rate of perhaps two or three percentage points a year since 2004."
The United States will still be that bright and shining light on the hill for all to seek out the betterment of their lives, even as we move towards a more just community. Our nation has progressed greatly over the course of the past century - and we continue to grow, evolve and rediscover what has made us great. We have broken down glass ceilings, moved forward and continually work to right our wrongs. We are a better country for accepting our flaws, and the rest of the world see's that.
However, those that choose to fight and darken what made our country great, stand in the way of progress and will be remembered accordingly in the history books.

TALLAHASSEE -- With a week remaining until National Signing Day, the Chopping Block is spending the next few days taking a position-by-position look at the recruits who the Seminolesare trying to land. Since coaching turnover has ruled FSU's offseason, one could argue this Signing Day could be among the most pivotal in school history.
Currently, FSU has 18 commits. That includes two early-enrollees and offensive tackle Richy Klepal, whose scholarship is being honored, but isn't expected to play at FSU due to injury.
By and large, the loss of six assistant coaches hasn't seemed to hurt the Seminoles much on the recruiting trail this past month. They have retained most of the recruits who had been leaning their way all along. But that may be beginning to change.
Tuesday night, defensive end commit Davin Bellamy and the Seminoles officially parted ways, two days after the well-regarded four-star player told recruiting writers that Georgia was his new leader after having long favored the Seminoles. An offer from Oregon on Monday also had him thinking more. Monday evening, long-committed offensive lineman from Prattville, Ala., Austin Golson, also announced he was backing off his commitment, although he is still interested in FSU.
Both Bellamy and Golson had been recruited by now former quarterbacks coach Dameyune Craig, who left in early January for a co-coordinator's job at Auburn.
The visits FSU's coaches take the next few days will be crucial in helping frame this next signing class. For the last four seasons, head coach Jimbo Fisher's stepped up recruiting efforts have been duly noted. The Seminoles' signing classes the last three years in particular have been among the nation's best. Two years ago, it was even considered the No. 1 group by some recruiting services.
Read on to take a look at just who FSU may be welcoming into the mix at receiver and tight end next week (watch for music in the video clips below):
Jeremy Kerr, 6'6/262 ... St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg)
Committed: Jan. 22, 2012
Originally recruited by: James Coley
Stars: Three (per 247Sports.com's composite score)
Other offers: Miami, Connecticut, Memphis, Purdue
Analysis: Already pushing 260 pounds, Kerr's size and raw physical play puts him in a spot of true versatility for the Seminoles. While he likely was sold on the idea of playing tight end when Coley was still coaching at FSU -- Coley, the former tight ends coach who was moved to quarterbacks before accepting a job last week as Miami's offensive coordinator -- Kerr could be moved to an offensive line position. His weight is in such a spot that if they wished, coaches might one day consider adding 30 pounds or more and moving him to offensive tackle. With their recent efforts at landing offensive tackles proving less fruitful than perhaps they'd hope, the Seminoles certainly could use all the help they could receive at the position.
But, let's assume Kerr is being brought specifically to FSU to play tight end and nothing else. If that is indeed the case, the Seminoles are welcoming an in-state player with the combination of size, raw blocking tools, open-space speed and hands that could make him a nice fit at the position in future seasons. At St. Petersburg High, Kerr played in an offense that featured a regular, hand-in-the-ground tight end. Judging from his highlight clips, Kerr's size and ability made him look almost like an extra offensive lineman, particularly on run plays. Most high school offenses today are based on spread packages that would rather add an extra playmaking receiver to the mix instead of a tight end. So the fact that he has real knowledge of the position will help coming into FSU's offense.
Right away, Kerr would be buried on the depth chart at tight end behind rising juniors Nick O'Leary and Will Tye, rising seniors Kevin Haplea and Dan Hicks and rising sophomore Christo Kourtzidis. O'Leary, Haplea and Kourtzidis likely enter the spring and fall as the primary go-to players at the position. O'Leary is more of the pass-catching tight end, Haplea is a true blocker, and Kourtzidis is trying to be a mix of both. This past season, the Seminoles tried to make O'Leary more of their passing offense, and may try to do the same this year, even without Coley in the mix.
Hicks will be returning from a preseason knee injury that forced him to miss all of the 2012 season. How he responds in his comeback this spring could affect his role at the position, as well.
With right tackles Menelik Watson and Daniel Glauser now gone, the Seminoles are looking for depth at the spot behind some possible mix of Bobby Hart, Garrett Faircloth and Dan Foose.

Thanks to Major League Baseball Productions, there is such a perfect product. Arriving just in time for this year's Midsummer Classic is "Awesome All-Star Action." The DVD contains 90 minutes of history, highlights and interviews to make a viewer feel like he or she had a seat right behind the dugout for all 74 All-Star Games.
Starting with a look back at Babe Ruth's home run to christen the event back in 1933, "Awesome All-Star Action" takes a look at all the trends over the years. The American League won that first All-Star Game, but did you know the National League won 19 of 20 games at one point? The DVD rightfully points out that race may have played an issue: NL teams were quicker to integrate than their counterparts in the Junior Circuit.
All the great moments are captured, from the All-Century Team announcements and the impromptu gathering around Ted Williams in Boston in 1999 to Cal Ripken Jr.'s switch to shortstop in his last classic in 2001.
Be sure to catch the highlights from the greatest games -- and their greatest feats. Ted Williams never showed much emotion on the field, but he celebrated as he rounded the bases when he won the 1941 All-Star Game with a home run. Stan Musial told his teammates he was going to end the 12-inning All-Star Game in 1955 and he did with a solo homer. It's that kind of pearl (and the fact that Musial's name is all over the All-Star Game record book) that you might not know if you don't have this DVD. There's Reggie Jackson's towering shot in Detroit, Fred Lynn's grand slam and Ripken's farewell home run as well.
Many people complain that the All-Star Game isn't what it used to be. Once upon a time, they claim, it was an important game where players went all out to win. Now, the critics continue, it's more of a fun exhibition and the final score is almost secondary. Well, watch the DVD. While there is a section devoted to the lighter side of the game, interviews with current players (mixed in with the "old school" vets) will make some of those critics reconsider. To a man, all current All-Stars discuss how important winning the game is ... and that's before "This Time it Counts" became a reality.
The best hitting and pitching performances are documented, from Bo Jackson becoming the second player to homer and steal a base in the same game (Willie Mays was the first) to Carl Hubbell striking out five Future Hall of Famers in a row.
The program ends with a preview of the 75th All-Star Game, focusing on the possibility of Roger Clemens returning to the game one last time, in his home park and in the city where he attended his first Midsummer Classic.
And that's just in the 60 minutes of the regular show. There's an additional half-hour of bonus footage. It includes "Storytellers," which includes fuller length interviews with players and historians (some snippets of these interviews made it into the full show, but these longer versions enrich the DVD even more). There are highlights of the Home Run Derby, to some the best part of the All-Star Weekend, and a rundown on all 74 past All-Star Games.

Lounges >Tiki Ti
4427 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA | Directions 9002734.098172 -118.287448
Neighborhoods: Central LA, Los Feliz
The Tiki Ti in Silver Lake has been family owned for 3 generations since 1961. Mike, the owner, pours behind the bar, while his sons tend bar or manage the door. Don't be fooled by the tropical drinks - they are STRONG, especially the Uga Booga and the Zombie. Also, you're allowed to smoke in the bar, which gives the Tiki Ti an old school Hollywood vibe.
Great tropical drinks and everybody is super nice. Ray's Mistake is the best drink, EVER.
A place that actually serves good tasting drinks that will also get you a good buzz. Usually you have to pick one. Part of the fun here is standing room only one Friday and Saturday night, great for mingling.
Always crowded, always fun. Cherished LA fruity, tropical drink hole. Fun place for a first date, IF you can get a seat.
One of my favorite bars in LA. The tiki drinks are incredible, the space is charming but small. This bar is all sorts of wonderful. The Ray's Mistake is their signature drink. I love the chi chi and the blue hawaii. CASH ONLY!
If you want strong tropical drinks, this is your place. It's a little shack and gets very crowded at busy bar times, so try to avoid the rush and come early. Ray's Mistake is a classic to be tried, also watch out for the Stealth and the Ooga Booga and Blood And Sand. One or two cocktails is plenty here.
Tropics not. Hella fun, ya! – Previous guy had it right. It's a Shack, but a fun one! Fun night out with out-of-towners --- heck even in-of-towners. Right across the street from the Red Lion Tavern. Get your grub on, then your drink on.
Tiki Ti has been the right choice for the huamn beings like us.
Great little Place – It is fun when the entire bar starts screaming when certain drinks are ordered. The drinks can be a little pricey, but it is worth going there for 1 drink before going out elsewhere. Would reccomend to anyone to go for a drink and bring a date there between dinner and maybe the 4100.
absinthe? – I know this is supposed to be a review...but I heard a lot about this place and was wondering if they served absinthe in their mixed cocktais...can anyone let me know?
A Tropical Drink Lover's Paradise. Possibly some of the best mixed drinks you'll ever have. – Went to this place for the first time over the weekend and it was awesome. I've always liked good drinks that are STRONG and this place delivers. The place is small and has regulars galore, so get there early if you plan on getting a seat. It's standing room only as it gets later, and there's a line outside Fridays and Saturdays. (Not sure about other nights). The drinks are not cheap, but they are worth the price! For once. There is not any food, except a tub of bar 'snax', and they only accept cash. The crowd inside is socialable and fun. The decor is great and theres a lot of things to look at. The bartenders are friendly and have tons of stories to share. Oh yeah, and also the bar is owner-operated so smoking here is allowed. That will probably turn off a lot of non-smokers, but as an ex-smoker I wasn't bothered in the least. I miss this place already and am looking forward to going again.
Authentic – Excellent decor, excellent drinks, great atmosphere and you can smoke. It's a bit small so go early.
Fun LITTLE place in Silverlake – Want something different, try try Tiki Ti. It's a very, very small Tiki bar near the intersection of Hollywood and Sunset Blvd. They havea wild assortment of drinks (no food) and some drinks require the audio participation of he crowd. It's a little strange at first but once you get into it it's fun chanting "torro torro" as the bartender pours rum.
People are allowed to smoke there which wasn't appealing to me but the atmosphere and the regular polite customers made up for it.
Give it a shot.
A Small Bar of Tiki Bliss – It's not very big and it doesn't look like much from the outside but once you step inside, you are transported to a world of tiki. Be warned that since it is an owner operated business, they do allow people to smoke inside the bar but it's a small inconvenience to enjoy a strong mixed drink. The founder of this bar, Ray Buhen, was a "mixologist" from Hawaii that started this bar in the 60s. The area around it has changed and Ray is no longer with us but his son Mike and grandson Mike Jr. are the guys working the bar and they are doing Ray proud. The drinks to get are the Ray's Mistake and the Bayanihan. If you are up for a challenge, order the Blood-and-Sand and enjoy the Toro!
fun hawaiian atmosphere – This little tiki shack is the cutest bar I've been to. Though it's small space can't really allow you to move around too much (they only let in a strict capacity of 50 people at a time).

When asked to make a visual essay on the annual posterfestival of Chaumont, we came up with the idea of designing new posters for each of the 5 different exhibitions and rephotographing them. In the posters, we freely reflected upon the work of the exhibitors, the exhibition space and the medium of posters itself.

MOREAU -- New York State Police arrested a town man Tuesday for allegedly arranging the illegal sale of an assault weapon through Facebook.
William G. Greene, 51, of Pine Road is charged with two misdemeanors related to the alleged sale of the assault-style rifle.
The rifle, identified by police as an RGuns .223-5.56 caliber assault-style gun, has a pistol grip and meets the state's definition of an assault weapon.
Police said Greene posted to a Facebook page for gun enthusiasts expressing his desire to sell the weapon. The post was brought to the attention of state police through a call to the state's gun tip line, and an undercover investigator responded to the post and eventually met Greene and purchased the weapon.
Greene was charged with unlawful transfer of an assault weapon and disposing of a weapon without complying with National Instant Criminal Background Check System guidelines, misdemeanors. He is scheduled to appear in Moreau town court at a later date.

Justice for Aaron Vincent Juarez
On June 1, 2013 Aaron Juarez died as a result from being punched once in the face, knocked unconscious, causing him to fall backwards, hitting his head on the concrete parking lot. Aaron hit his head, resulting in severe head trauma from which he could not survive. The man responsible for this is David Alvarez, 31 years old from Corpus Christi, Texas. The attack happened at the Whataburger located on Cimmeron and Saratoga in Corpus Christi after Aaron Juarez accidently dinged David Alvarez's brother's 2013 SUV. Aaron apologized but the Alvarez brothers didn't want to hear it. David punched Aaron when he wasn't looking. David Alvarez was arrested on Thursday June 6 and has a bond set at $200,000. Mr. Alvarez's family and his attorney have requested a reduction of that bond. This petition has been started to ensure that doesn't happen. David Alvarez was already out on a bond for a DUI. He has a criminal past, since 2001, that includes two DUIs, credit card fraud and theft and possession of marijuana. The Juarez/Garza family, along with Aaron's friends need your help. We need your signatures on this petition to ensure that David Alvarez's bond reduction be denied and that he remain locked up until he is to go to trial for the crime of murder of which he has been charged. We lost a son, grandson, nephew, cousin, friend, coworker. We lost an amazing human being in Aaron because of David's actions that night. A senseless act that changed the lives of everyone involved forever. Please help us keep David Alvarez from getting out of jail and possibly becoming a flight risk. Thank you

Ratings, reinvented: Bundle's business ratings can tell you things no other rating site can
So, Alex, I know you, but why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself.
I'm Alex Hasha, and I'm the chief data scientist here at Bundle, and that basically means I'm responsible for transforming a huge database of credit card transactions into a business review site that people can use to find cool places to go, and make better decisions with their money. We're trying to build a website like Yelp, but it's entirely driven by data rather than user reviews.
Like a lot of people, I use Yelp. I use it to get a general sense of a place I haven't been to, and figure out if it's good and worth my time and money. How is Bundle different?
I think Bundle and Yelp are different even if they fall within the same category of websites. You kind of have to unpack the question of what it is you're looking for when you're looking at a business listing site. There's a lot of questions you might be asking, but the main question you have is probably: "What's a good place?"
But, how do you define "good"? At Yelp, "good" is based on the opinions of people who have been to a place — or claimed to have been — and have gone onto Yelp's website to post a personal review. Yelp is very strong at collecting personal descriptions of what a place is like. A person can tell you about the ambience and what their personal experience was, and that can be useful. Even so, there's a lot of system gaming on Yelp that can mislead you into believing that a good place is bad, or a bad place is good. For example, an owner of a restaurant may enlist friends and family members to post overly positive, biased reviews to make a restaurant sound popular even if it isn't. Similarly, competitors can place nasty reviews on another business's Yelp page to provide a negatively distorted picture of what a place is like. We've gotten used to navigating that, and putting in an effort to make sense of what we're reading, but it doesn't have to be that way.
A search for the popular Back Country BBQ in Dallas, Texas instantly tells us that it is a popular destination (a five-star Bundle rating), and that based on a sample of more than 500 transactions, diners typically spend about $20 when they go.
So what can Bundle tell me that Yelp can't?
Our reviews are based on billions of credit card transactions from customers of different businesses, rather than a random person's personal review. Because our data is based on anonymized credit card transactions collected from tens of millions of real credit card holders, we have lots of transactions from almost every business that accepts credit cards, and that includes all the popular places, and the less well-known ones too.
We're also not prone to rampant meanness, or the system gaming that happens on Yelp because our reviews are generated by people who don't know that they're generating reviews. They're going about their lives and creating data by using their credit card. Obviously, we anonymize their data so they can't be linked to their transactions, but we see that many individuals have been to a place, and how many people have returned, and how much they tend to spend when they go. These are all things that create a very helpful picture for someone who wants to learn about a business they've never been to.
But since Bundle uses credit card data, that means you can't rate places that are cash-only, right?
Right. And we use just a sample of the vast amount of credit card transactions out there. But we still have billions of credit card transactions to work with, and fortunately, most businesses accept credit cards.
How are you making sense of this data?
You can think of credit card data as a big survey of people's tastes. Everybody gets a certain number of dollars, which you can think of as votes, and then they have to spread them around. They have a limited number to use, and they have to make choices to where to use them, and in that sense you can think of a dollar spent as a vote in favor of a business. And you can sense that a place is good if it's getting a lot of people's votes.
Tell me about the Bundle rating and how it works.
We started thinking about what we could measure just by knowing that someone swiped a card. And the big thing that we thought was important was repeat customers. If we see a business has 3,000 customers, that might make them popular, but if none of these customers ever come back, that detracts from your rating. It might be because you're not in that part of town often, but it could be simply that you didn't like your experience, so you didn't go back.
We also want to take a look at the average prices people are willing to pay. Because it's easy to get a lot of people to come to your store by charging low prices, but it says a lot more about how much a person likes a place if you can charge high prices and get repeat customers. So higher prices people are paying will increase your rating as long as your popularity goes up with it.
In short, the Bundle rating is based on popularity (or how many people go), repeat visits (or how many people come back), and amount spent per visit (how much people are willing to pay).
How often are the ratings updated? People can be fickle. Popular places can quickly become less in demand due to the time of year, or because customers' preferences have changed.
Our data gets updated on a weekly basis, so Bundle ratings would change periodically after the updates are made.
Back Country BBQ's rating of 93 places it in the top ten percent of restaurants in its area, a good indicator that people enjoy dining there. Ribs, anyone?
The rating ranges from 1 to 100. What's an average rating, and what's a good rating?
We set it up so the average business gets a 50. So a 75 means you're in the top quarter, which is pretty good. And a 90 means you're in the top 10 percent, which is really good. There's nothing wrong with a 50 or a 40. That just means it's an average place, or just below average. Most places out there are average.
In addition, each business's rating is relative to other businesses in the same category in the same city. And we have dozens, if not hundreds of categories. In other words, a restaurant in Dallas is going to be compared to other restaurants in Dallas, and not a clothing store in Dallas, or a restaurant in New York. We try our best to compare apples to apples to account for customer preference between a collection of similar options.
So, right off the bat, if you see a rating that's above 80, you can pretty much tell that it's going to be a good place compared to other places in the city you're searching in?
We find that if we start actually using the rating to make decisions that, more often than not, it leads you in the right direction. With Bundle, I like to use the ratings to narrow my choices down to a set of places that meet my needs that have high ratings, and then, right on our website we have links to Yelp, Citysearch, and other reviews so I can see a little more detail.
Business listings on Bundle also have links to reviews on other sites to help give you a complete picture of what a place is like. Above: Related reviews for Le Bernadin, a renowned New York restaurant.
What are the other things Bundle can offer?
We have a lot of great features in progress that we're constantly expanding and improving. We can tell you a typical cost people pay when visiting a business, which is a little different from what you'll see on other websites, but also, more informative. We show the median transaction size of people who've visited a business, which includes individuals, and parties of two or more. Just like on Yelp, where you have to look at reviews and judge what they mean to you, on Bundle you have to look at prices and judge what they mean to you. We show the range of prices people have paid. So if you're planning on figuring out what a single individual would pay at a restaurant, you'll want to look at they typical costs below the median. If you want to see how much a large group would pay, you would look at what people are paying above the median.
We also break customers down into groups based on customer behavior. So we have segments like high-rollers — people who we've seen love luxury brands like Burberry, Prada and Gucci — and we can see what kind of restaurants and grocery stores they like to eat and shop at. We other segments — foodies, for example, and locals. So these are other dimensions we can provide to help you get a better sense of what you're looking for.
Give me an example of how you've used the Bundle rating in your own daily decision-making.
A friend of mine moved to Hong Kong a few years ago, and every time she comes back to visit she wants to have a big dinner party with a bunch of friends. And the last two or three times, we went to this restaurant in the West Village in New York City called La Ripaille. It was pretty enjoyable, but both times I felt like it was too expensive for what it was.
But I had really enjoyed the experience because it was really French-y, and the owner would come over to the table and tell us in this thick French accent what the best things in the menu were. I loved this. So I wanted to find another French restaurant like this, but where I didn't have to pay as much. So I looked up La Ripaille on Bundle, saw that the Bundle rating was 73 — above average — but the typical cost was about $121, which was actually close to my own experience. I had paid for myself and my wife, and at the end of the night, I felt like I didn't have that much to eat, but I had paid that much. Fortunately, we have another feature on our site where we can show what other restaurants people who visited La Ripaille also visted:
So, I looked at that feature to find restaurants customers of La Ripaille had also been to and liked a lot, and one of them was a restaurant called Cafe Cluny, which was also French, but instead of a rating of 73, it had a rating of 93. Its typical cost was $58 instead of $121, and when I expanded the "Who Goes Here?" tab, I saw that the restaurant was popular among foodies and locals. Finally, I looked at the "Reviews" tab and saw that there were tons of reviews and people were very positive about it, so I thought, "okay, this is where I'm going to go." And we went and it was great — the food was great, and I ended up paying about $70.
So, the Bundle rating turned out to be true to life. Final thoughts about the Bundle rating?
I think the key role that Bundle played was helping me find what I was looking for so much faster. Because there's no easy way to say, "I want to go somewhere like La Ripaille, but cheaper and better. But on Bundle, I was able to do that in under a minute. And this is just the beginning of what we're trying to do to help people make better spending decisions.

"It's not so much about technology as it is about applying common sense to your customers' online shopping experience," says Jim Collins, chief executive of Affinity Internet, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., web-design firm.
