Twin Magic Returning To UK
UK Athletics has officially confirmed the return of Aaron and Andrew Harrison to the Kentucky Wildcats for the 2014-15 basketball season.
Aaron Harrison started all 40 games for the Wildcats during the 2013-14 season and averaged 13.7 points and 3.0 rebounds per game. He knocked down three of UK's all-time most memorable shots in three consecutive games in helping UK past Louisville, Michigan and Wisconsin in the NCAA Tournament to reach the national championship contest.
"I'm coming back for a second season in large part because last year's title run was special, but we still have unfinished business," Aaron Harrison said.
Andrew Harrison started 39 games for UK and poured in 10.9 points and added 4.0 assists per game. He dished out three or more assists in seven of UK's final nine games. His-20 point performance led all Wildcat scorers in an upset of No. 1 seed Wichita State in the NCAA Tournament.
"I'm returning for my sophomore season because I want to win a national title." Andrew Harrison said.
"I'm excited about Aaron and Andrew's decision to return for next season," head coach John Calipari said. "Their postseason play was a result of the improvement they made all season and displayed what they're capable of doing on the court. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with them during the summer and watch them lead next year's team."
Sophomores Willie Cauley-Stein and Alex Poythress and fellow freshmen Dakari Johnson and Marcus Lee have already announced their intentions to return for the 2014-15 season.
With the announcement of the Harrisons, Kentucky is set to return 67 percent of its assists (300), 65 percent of minutes played, 59 percent of its scoring (1,773) and 54 percent of its rebounds (872) produced from its Final Four squad.
Additional returnees include freshmen Dominque Hawkins, Derek Willis and EJ Floreal, who all saw action this season. The Wildcats will also welcome the No. 2 rated recruiting class in the nation that sports four McDonald's All-America and Jordan Brand Classic players in Devin Booker, Trey Lyles, Karl-Anthony Towns and Tyler Ulis.

Let's get this out of the way first: the Red Sox have not entertained the notion of removing John Smoltz from the rotation, and Smoltz is not entertaining the notion of retiring. At this point, there is nothing to indicate that drastic change is in the offing.
That said, both the Red Sox and Smoltz are struggling to puzzle through a period of startling ineffectiveness. After he got battered by Baltimore for six runs on nine hits in just five innings in a 6-2 loss to the Orioles (RECAP), Smoltz now has a 1-4 record and 7.04 ERA. Sunday marked the second straight start in which the 42-year-old has allowed six runs (he also did so against Texas on July 20). He struggled to remember a time when his results had been so bad, and with good reason.
The last time that Smoltz gave up at least a half-dozen runs in consecutive starts was in July 15-20, 1997. The only other current member of the Sox who was in the majors at that time was Tim Wakefield.
"My frustration level is as high as it's ever been…No matter what you say or feel like, it's irrelevant when the results are the way they are," said Smoltz. "Me saying I had good stuff and I felt great is irrelevant. I'm a stand-up guy and I've been through stretches like this – maybe not quite like this – in my career.
"From what I've seen, my stuff is not done. My results might put me in a category where (people) are going to talk about it," he added. "I'm trying to stop the storylines, trying to stop the talk, because it's an odd place to come in and try to be effective…I'd walk away from this game tomorrow if I didn't think I could still do it."
Given his horrific numbers – and the fact that the Orioles put on something of a laser show against the pitcher, amassing a homer and four doubles against him – it comes as something of a surprise to see at least some markers associated with pitching success.
Smoltz punched out six Orioles hitters and walked one in his outing on Sunday. In his 30.2 innings this year, he has a 28/5 strikeout-to-walk ratio, the fourth best in the American League (min. 20 innings). This is the sort of company he's keeping in the top five in that category: Mariano Rivera, Roy Halladay, Joe Nathan, Zack Greinke – all All-Stars.
His slider was, in the pitcher's own words, "outstanding," the sort of offering that can serve as a key for dominating opponents. His velocity sat solidly at 92-93 mph – not his mid- and high-90s peaks, but more than enough, at least in theory, for a pitcher with a four-pitch arsenal to succeed. Those markers of promise made Smoltz' struggles all the more frustrating for the pitcher.
"Each time out my stuff has gotten better and better," said Smoltz. "And each time out, there's been some games I've shook my head and gone, 'I can't explain it.'"
So what gives? A closer look at the pitches that the Orioles crushed offers some answers.
Of the nine hits that Smoltz allowed, eight (including all five of their extra-base hits) were on fastballs. Smoltz threw 36 heaters on the afternoon, and the Orioles swung and missed just once. The Orioles went 8-for-12 on the pitcher's fastball.
Struggles with a fastball that carried a hit-me sign were not limited to this start. In his previous outing, the Rangers went 4-for-11 with two doubles and two homers on his fastball.
"The life on my fastball and the location of my fastball is sometimes a little bit confusing," Smoltz conceded. "My fastball, everybody has told me – unless they're lying to me – is really good enough. I didn't give it enough credit in my first couple games. I was probably giving a little too much credit to the league and unfamiliarity, just having to trick guys. I'm not going to do it anymore.
"Before, maybe there was an ability for me to amp up, throw a little harder and get away with it," he continued. "I've got to find a way to get more location-conscious."
The Sox remain convinced that improved location will unlock far better results for the pitcher. If fastballs intended for the corners stay there, rather than sailing back over the middle of the plate (as happened on most of the Orioles' hits against Smoltz), the pitcher is all but certain to see an improvement in his results. The club also feels that Smoltz – who has typically employed his fastball away throughout his career (a staple of the pitching philosophy of Leo Mazzone, who preached the fastball low-and-away as the best pitch in baseball) – would benefit from attacking both sides of the plate to prevent hitters from cheating and whacking fastballs that, while still possessing decent velocity, are down a tick from his Braves years.
"(The issue is) consistency of location. Today, just evaluating the pure stuff, I thought it was more crisp than at any time he's been here this season," said pitching coach John Farrell. "But yet the bottom line is what matters.
"What do we do from here?" Farrell wondered. "I think there's the ability or the need to pitch in a little bit more. While his stuff is improved over the last outing, or the previous outings, hitters one time through the order can start to look in one area. I think that was what was a little bit the case today, and when he wasn't very fine in his location or in very good quality locations, we saw the results.
"While his velocity is good enough to pitch at this level—clearly it's good enough – it's not the mid-90s where you have that margin of error that he might be accustomed to," Farrell continued. "To combat that, commanding the baseball on both sides of the plate and not allowing hitters to look in one area solely, is where the improvement or adjustment lies."
Smoltz remains resolute that he has the stuff to compete effectively on a team with postseason aspirations. His manager and pitching coach echoed that assessment. As such, Farrell said that the team has no plans to skip Smoltz in the rotation to allow him to iron out his approach.
"At this point, that's not even being considered," said Farrell. "If there was a drop-off physically just through either naked eye or what velocities are telling us, that would be a different situation. But that's not the case. You look at the amount of swing-and-miss he's able to generate, yet because of the consistency of command, he's frustrated."
For what it's worth, the last time that Smoltz had a run of futility along these lines came in 2006, when he struggled to a 2-4 mark and 6.04 ERA over a six-start stretch in August and early September. In his next four starts, he went 4-0 with a 0.93 ERA.
Here are four other lessons from a day when Jim Rice gained baseball's greatest honor, the Yankees pumped up their lead to 2.5 games in the A.L. East and the Orioles finally snapped an 11-game Fenway Park losing streak:
Obviously, the Red Sox offense has had terrible results in the second half. The team's two-run output on Sunday was barely below the team average of 2.8 runs per contest since the All-Star break. The Sox have scored more than three runs in just two of their nine games.
Even so, the team-wide futility on Sunday was particularly confounding. Orioles starter David Hernandez – who primarily featured a 95 mph fastball and only occasional breaking stuff – left the Sox scratching their heads about an inability to hammer him.
"He beat us with his fastball," said Sox manager Terry Francona. "We actually got some pretty good pitches to hit. We didn't do damage with it. What we're always trying to do is swing at good pitches because if we do we feel like we'll do damage. We just didn't do that."
Hernandez had a rather remarkable line against the Sox. He lasted seven innings, but of his 21 outs, 17 came by fly ball, two via grounder, and just two came from punchouts.
It had been more than two years since the Sox had been shut down in this fashion. The last pitcher to limit the team to one or fewer runs in at least seven innings while striking out two or fewer batters was Joe Blanton, who did the deed on June 7, 2007 as a member of the A's.
"It's one of those things," said shortstop Jed Lowrie. "Guys are hitting balls but just not getting hits. It's not an epidemic of strikeouts (the Sox have 58 strikeouts in the second half, tied for fourth fewest in the majors) where guys are having bad at-bats. Guys just aren't getting hits."
The frustration for the lineup is mounting, resulting in players assuming additional pressure every time they step to the plate.
"We're a better hitting ballclub than this," said outfielder Jason Bay. "You go up there, you're in a situation where you can drive in some runs. If you're scoring 10 (runs) a night, you go up there relaxed and think, 'It's going to happen.' If not, you go up there and 'it has to happen.'
"When you get up there and you're telling yourself you have to do something, it usually goes the wrong way," he added. "You see guys gripping the bat harder, swinging the bat harder, wanting so bad to do it, where the reality is the easiest way to do it – I don't want to say not try – but almost relax and let it happen, instead of having to do something. Easier said than done."
It would be difficult to have worse stats than Lowrie this year. The Red Sox shortstop is hitting .091 with a .135 OBP and .212 slugging mark. In five games since returning from the D.L., he is 2-for-15 with a double and a homer, hitting .133/.118/.400.
Against right-handers this year, his numbers become even more dismal, as he's hitting .077 with an .071 OBP and .115 slugging mark. It would be difficult to look at such numbers and to find reason for encouragement. Yet Lowrie is able to do just that.
"It's there. I just haven't been able to get hits lately, but I feel like every at-bat that I've had has been a quality at-bat," said Lowrie. "I've always believed that if I do that, the hits will come. I'm not going to change that approach. It sucks right now, but I'm just going to continue to do that and know that it's going to work out for me."
Sunday provided a case in point. Lowrie, batting left-handed against right-handed Orioles starter David Hernandez, went 0-for-2 in three plate appearances. He flew out a bit shy of the warning track in left on a mid-90s fastball in the first, hit a rocket of a sac fly that virtually everyone thought was a home run before it died in front of the warning track in the fifth and he lined to right on a 95 mph fastball in his final at-bat.
Lowrie made solid contact three times, and yet saw his average creep further below .100 (what lies beneath the Mendoza line?). The day typified Lowrie's return, during which he's actually hit the ball reasonably well, but has little to show for it. He has batted 17 times, with the following results:
8 Fly-outs to deep outfield (including Sunday's sac fly)
2 Fly-outs to regular depth outfield
2 Fly-outs to infield
2 Strikeouts (one looking, one swinging)
1 Groundout
In short, these are outcomes that would typically be associated with a player in the middle of a fairly solid run. Lowrie, however, has been left to grit his teeth while watching his numbers plummet. Nonetheless, he is making consistent, hard contact from both sides of the plate.
Of all the Red Sox players, it would be difficult to imagine one who resides in a stranger place than reliever Manny Delcarmen in the days leading up to the July 31 deadline for trades not requiring waivers.
The Sox bullpen is extremely deep, and because of that, it is conceivable that the team could use one of its relievers as a trade chip. Delcarmen is young (27), affordable (he is making $476,000 this year, and will be eligible for salary arbitration for the first time following the season) and effective, as his 2.21 ERA this year suggests.
As a result, his name invariably gets brought up in the rumor mill, whether there is substance to such rumors or not. For instance, when news that the Sox had dealt for Adam LaRoche spread last week, there were suggestions (entirely off base, as it turned out) that Delcarmen might be a piece going back to the Pirates.
That reality would be complex enough for any player to deal with. But because of the Hyde Park native's local roots, there are extra headaches and hassles created when he is thrown into the rumor spin cycle. Delcarmen's phone lights up almost as soon as his name is whispered into the air on a potential deal.
"For me, it's kind of funny because three of my buddies are really big sports fans. For some reason they find out stuff even before my agent does. So my phone's blowing up," Delcarmen said in an interview on the Mut & Bradford Show. "The other day, with the whole Pittsburgh thing, three of my buddies call me and then my agent called me so I was like, 'Oh, something happened.'
"(The agent) told me I wasn't going to Pittsburgh and stuff, but (the friends) are pretty much on top of it and it's exciting. I've been here my whole career and hopefully I can end here, but sometimes there's things you can't control but I'm definitely prepared for it."
That said, all things being equal, Delcarmen is a believe that the Sox should keep their current group of relievers – and for that matter, the club – intact. He sees little need for deals before the end of the month.
"Everybody in the bullpen's been doing it and we have a special thing here," said Delcarmen. "I know a lot of teams want what we have here in the bullpen. I just think you can't break up a good thing and hopefully we just keep going.
"I think we're always contenders and we always find a way and come September we'll definitely be up there in the running. We start swinging the bats, we get the Jason Bay, the JD Drew, everybody on full cylinders with our pitching staff, I think this is going to be another special season for us," he added. "There's a lot of baseball left and, little by little, eventually we'll all click together and it's going to be pretty exciting. So I don't think we need any changes."
Another day, another string of shutout innings for the bullpen.
Red Sox relievers still have yet to give a run in the second half of the season. On Sunday, with Smoltz done after five innings, Justin Masterson trotted in and fired a pair of scoreless frames. He was followed by Takashi Saito (1.1 shutout innings – his first appearance of more than three outs since June 11) and Ramon Ramirez (two-up, two-down).

I stayed at 2 hotels in Newcastle: the Holiday Inn Jesmond for 1 night and the BW New Kent for 2 nights. Obviously a newly refurbished hotel such as the Holiday Inn Jesmond is going to have more style and gizmos, but I would definitely go back to the Best Western whereas I am not so sure about the HI. Both provided good breakfasts, but the BW breakfast was freshly cooked. However the shower in the Holiday Inn did not work properly 'because too many people were showering at the same time', whereas this hotel provided a strong flow of constant hot water. More importantly the Best Western staff were actually interested in their guests. On balance therefore this hotel offers a better option than a hotel charging over twice as much (not counting the breakfast)!
It's a hotel for gay marriage. Expedia should mention that and it shouldn't be in the mystery hotel. Other wise, the hotel is clean and has lots of pubs around it. The staff is friendly. There is no elevator and a bit outdated.

The fresh champion of the U.S. Open, Andy Murray, leaves interviews with repetition after the victory on American soil. Interviewed by journalist Charlie Rose, the Scottish tennis player expresses his views on Federer and Rafa Nadal:
"Roger plays with a very soft racket, he does not need to hit the ball very strong as the other athletes on the circuit and is always playing very close to the base line, he is a classic player. Of course the field is very strong. Nadal does have the brute force and expresses such intensity from the first to the last point. and he is one of the best players that tennis has ever seen and probably will see for a while, the same as Jimmy Connors. His energy and enthusiasm come out every time he enters the court. "

Taste of Belgium at Findlay Market has expanded its menu, Polly Campbell reports:
Taste of Belgium at Findlay Market is expanding its menu to include "Belgianized" pizzas and sandwiches.
The sandwiches are Belgianized by making them on Belgian waffles, which makes an awesome sandwich, I can tell you from personal experience. They are selling a southwest sandwich with turkey and pepperjack cheese and chipotle mayo on a waffle. I have made this before, and I do recommend it. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Cooking with Caitlin invented that.) Also a PB&J waffle sandwich, and one with brie, apple and roasted turkey. Just be careful: these are rich and filling sandwiches.
Also: a new goetta baguette sandwich with Belgian toppings (shredded carrots, thinly sliced cucumber and hard boiled egg) with a Dijon mayo.
Their pizza is Belgianized (Maybe it's Belgianated?) in a simple and direct way: the crust is made with beer. It will be available by the slice or whole pie. Standard toppings are cheese, pepperoni, supreme and pesto. On rotation by the slice: Cincinnati-style chili pizza and a goetta breakfast pizza (come early on Saturday).

Kenichi Nozaki, a senior at Tufts and a member of the school's Japanese Culture Club, sent us this statement about the group's recent efforts:
Recently our organization, with the help of Tufts students and faculty, organized a photo of over 100 members of the Tufts community to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the tragedy of the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Our first photo formed the image of the Japanese flag and our second photo formed the message "Tufts Loves Japan." The photo was taken on Wednesday, March 7th, on the patio of the Tufts University Tisch Library.
Along with the photos, the club organized several activities and events during the week of March 11, including letters and messages for Japanese students written by Tufts students, as well as a panel discussion of Tufts professors discussing the implications of the one year anniversary of the disaster. While the Tufts community helped to raise over $10,000 in 2011, the club decided that awareness and remembrance was far more important one year after the earthquake.

New Castle News
A Hickory Township man accused of robbing a bank in Hickory Township on Monday has been caught.
State police arrested Norman Clifford Lowe, 57, of Eastbrook Apartments today after searching his living quarters with a warrant last night.
He is accused of entering the First National Bank branch at 2353 Harlansburg Road at 11:24 a.m. Monday and approaching a teller with a small rectangular device he put on the counter, claiming it was an explosive.
Police later determined the suspected bomb was fake.
Lowe was identified by neighbors, who had viewed surveillance photos of him and had seen him earlier in the day of the bank hold-up.
Lowe is charged with two separate counts of robbery and one count each of fascimile weapons of mass destruction, terroristic threats, theft, receiving stolen property and disorderly conduct.
Lowe is being held on $100,000 bond in the Lawrence County jail. His preliminary hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. Aug. 22 in Central Court.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have had two children now in Sunset Park. My son had a wonderful experience all throughout his time there. All the teachers were very kind and provided a wonderful educational experience. My daughter is now going into the second grade and also has had a great experience too. All of her teachers have been amazing and she loves it too. The administration, teachers, and staff have always been kind and attentive. The only challenge is OCPS needs to build a new school because of growth, but OCPS has made some rezoning changes to help with overcrowding. Great school!
This school is by far, the worst, school my children have ever gone to! The school is overcrowded with too many children than the school can actually handle. Teachers favor certain students/ parents over the others. There is never any tutoring provided for students that need extra help with homework, and teachers don't have the patience to provide their students with the help needed. The Principal's office is always overcrowded with children, so children have to go through a long waiting line to see the Principal for discipline or whatever they're there for. The school does nothing about bullying, so bullying is something that is very familiar and normal in the school. No one does anything to help or prevent students from getting bullied. If you're a parent looking for a good school for your child to go to, this isn't one of them.
My son is in 3rd grade gifted class of Ms Mullaney. She is an excellent teacher. My son loves this school. School staff, admin, teachers are very nice. Building is clean and neat, safety for kids. We regret to leave this school since we are moving from this area. We will miss school and teacher. I highly recommend this school.
I am sad this year is ending. It has been a great experience for my child. She has made some great friends, and learned so much. Her class just raised butterflies from the egg! She was so excited that she was able to watch them go through the life cycles and then they released them on the playground. Her teacher is wonderful and has really helped her to grow and mature. I am excited that enrollment will drop next year due to the voluntary transfer program with Sand Lake. The last I heard was that we will decrease by 300 kids. I am also thrilled that they have locked our neighborhood Berkshire Park into the school. We won't have to worry about getting rezoned to a new school!
My daughter is thrilled with Sunset Park. Her teachers are wonderful and the parents appear to be very involved. They have parents that volunteer to help with lunch, the library and in the classroom. We are very lucky to have this as our neighborhood school.
My daughter is in kindergarten at Sunset Park. Her teacher is wonderful and he has learned so much. The PTO is vet involved and is trying to always improve the school. They raised enough money to add a new playground last year.
A very overloaded school - 1,100+ students, and growing every year. their specials teachers, and other support staff (Speech, Clinic, etc) is only staffed for 800 students. Examples include: students not getting the amount of therapy their IEPs require; sick and hurt children not receiving adequate attention because the single clinic employee must constantly juggle many students at once; and problem students not being removed from the classroom for discipline because the office is too overloaded. This school has a huge traffic nightmare with no real solutions in sight.
If your child is assertive, speaks up for themselves, or may possibly have a learning disability, this school is not where you need to be. In our experience, we found that some of the teachers lack the patience and know-how in working with these types of kids. There is no room for any kind of individualized attention or help (without labeling them with some kind of implemented "plan")....and again, no tolerance. The administrative team and teachers don't fully communicate with the principal on thoughts or ideas before implementing them, which in turn can cause a lasting and negative effect on the child when handled the wrong way and not communicated to the parents either. It's a shame that a school who boasts such academic success still has so much to learn about treating families with respect and common sense. Giving credit where credit is due, the principal does strive to meet those needs, but unfortunately members of her staff are letting her down. In the end, we chose to withdraw and put our child in private school, where much improvement has been seen in a short amount of time proving that environment can make or break a good student.
We have been a part of this school for several years now and we love the teachers and staff here. Yes, they are going through growing pains (because the County will not stop building apartments and homes) they have weathered through all this and still remains an "A" school. The only complaint I have...parents need to be more involved with their school and child. You may not be able to volunteer but be present for your child when it comes to activities and homework. Education is teamwork between teachers, staff and parents (not one or the other)
The vice-principle is a nice man and has been attentive to my child needs when was needed. I never meet the actual school principal after 2 years in this school. The vice-principal seems to do most of the work helping with the chaotic morning traffic and dealing with the parents. Forget about the teachers, they are there just for a paycheck. School is overcrowded and more portables were build for this school year.
I have written in here previously and my opinion has not changed. Sunset Park is an awesome school. I just had my second child finish 5th grade. The education both of my children have received is exceptional and prepared them well for Bridgewater. To the parent that thinks some of the teachers are too strict, shame on you. Teachers need to instill values and rules in our children, without these out children will turn out to be not disciplined. My 1st grader had a teacher who was strict and she loved her and wants her again next year in 2nd grade. If you think your child's teacher is too strict maybe your child needed the disinclined. Ms Russ and Mr. Peters have always addressed our concerns with any of our children. I take offense to the parent that thinks parents who volunteer kids are treated better. My kids have always been treated with respect and I volunteer maybe 10 hours per year due to work. So far 3 of my 4 kids have attended Sunset Park and they absolutely loved it
This school is a terrible school. The teachers favor parents who are there 24/7 helping out. For those parents who can't help out as often, their children are second and not even noticed. It The principal doesn't respond to calls or emails. There are teachers there that shouldn't be teaching at elementary level, often quite militant.
Kids love it. I love it. Teachers are great, principal is great, vice principal is great. pick up and drop of process is stupid because school was built in dumb location and now has 1050 students, with more coming next year. glad we can walk. have two kids there now and have had a very positive experience in the two years we have been there.
The school does not have 938 students at it says in here they have over 1200 and they are building several more portables for next year!
This one very bad school and I totally agree with a privies parent review. I wish I can submit here the names of the truly good teachers. I have nothing good to say about this school.
We have had a very disappointing year. The teachers are unorganized, don't communicate with the parents, and don't seem to care. The administration isn't very cooperative. They avoid parents who want results. The students aren't supervised very well. There is a lot of student contact with one another. Homework is overkill.
My daughter loves the teachers and the students are fairly well behaved. I'm pleased :)
Have had good relationships with both teachers and administration . Mr Peters addressed issues in a prompt and decisive manner .My children have enjoyed their education .
I am a current teacher at this school and has been there since the school opened. The staff and administration truly cares about the students well being and their academic success. The principal and assistant principal are very busy due to high demands and many changes coming from the district office. We are constantly in meetings to modify any problems or issues and to discuss ways to help our students improve. Just remember there are some parents that will never be satified with a specific teacher because of their personal feelings towards that teacher and not the teachers teaching ability.
We have only one child in this school. Principal NEVER available. Especially after our son was assaulted on the playground at recess by another child in his K class. We were informed by asst principal, that the child's mother was there all the time. We were told by the teacher the child was her "problem" child. She was let go after that. Needless to say we sent our child for self defense classes Our son is now in 3rd grade and thankfully, we will now be sending him to private school next year. The school is new and for the most part the teachers are good, but seems more like WHO you know not WHAT you know. Way too much physical contact betweeen students in this school. Nothing done about that. Lunchroom is total CHAOS. Screaming and pulling each other. Adults who supervise for the most part are rude or non responsive. It's quite stressful to watch. Physical education limited to playing on a cement floor under covering with a ball or little scooters. Friend pulled both her kids out and put them into private school. Very sad to say we can't wait til the end of this school year. Just a shame the last almost 3 years were a disappointment.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Tsadok Yehezkeli, a senior reporter for the Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot who was critically wounded in Georgia by shrapnel from a Russian artillery shell, arrived home Wednesday morning.
Yehezkeli, who was sent to the city of Gori to cover the war, was hit while traveling in a convoy with other journalists.
A Dutch photographer, who was sitting next to Yehezkeli, died from his wounds.
Israel Channel 10 reporter Or Heller, also in Georgia to cover the fighting, witnessed the shelling.
"He paid a heavy price for his courage," Heller said.
Following the incident, Israel sent Dr. Avi Rivkind, head of Hadassah University Medical Center's surgery and trauma unit, and Dr. Micha Shamir, of the anesthesiology and intensive care unit, to help the Georgian surgical team at the hospital in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.
In 2002, Yehezkeli was awarded the Sokolov Prize for investigative journalism by the Israeli Press Committee.

CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005 Ford Explorer one of our worst vehicles on record. "Avoid like the plague" is putting it lightly.
The 2002-2005 Explorer has a very well-established record of expensive transmission failure at under 100k miles. The Explorer has an enclosed transmission which is typically replaced with a rebuilt transmission at a cost of almost $3,000.
Adding insult to injury, the 2002-2005 Explorer also has a massive problem with the rear panel cracking. While it's a minor annoyance compared to transmission failure, ironically the crack usually goes right through the Ford logo.

From generation to generation,
men have encouraged one another
in their faith and have passed along
this faith to their families and friends.
These men are not famous and not
household names, but their love for Jesus
is undeniable. These are the everyday heroes of the faith—men of whom the Lord will say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
His seed shall be mighty upon earth:
the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Psalm 112:2 KJV
You are that kind of man.

MESQUITE — Jennifer Daughterty was brutally murdered by those claiming to be her friends in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
It's a crime that shocked Greensburg and Mesquite, where Daugherty had lived until recently.
Simultaneous vigils in those two cities Saturday night remembered the young, mentally-challenged woman.
"I ask we keep this young woman in our hearts," said Jennifer's aunt, Kim Johnson, addressing the vigil at a Garland church, speaking on behalf of many grieving for the 30-year-old victim.
"She had such a general sweet spirit... that's what I loved about her," said family friend John Hennen.
Daugherty led a simple life. She had the mind of an adolescent, but it is the horror of her final hours that have touched so many.
"You still have those images in your head of what must have happened," Johnson said. "It's very hard, very hard, to get past that."
Earlier this month, police in rural Pennsylvania found Daugherty's body stuffed in a trash can. Investigators said she had been tortured for days and possibly forced to drink detergent — among other things.
She was beaten repeatedly before being stabbed.
Police arrested six people, friends that Daugherty had been visiting.
"It's the most horrific thing I've ever heard in my life," Daugherty's aunt said. "I have never experienced the kind of pain I experienced in the past week.
Loved ones remembered the victim's friendly spirit and her smile.
She spent 10 years in Mesquite before moving with her mother to rural Pennsylvania two years ago.
"Jennifer would not want us to think of the bad times, the sad times, or the end times," Johnson said. "She was too much in love with life for that."
In her new hometown, the brutality of the crime angered so many that hundreds gathered around the county courthouse demanding justice for Jennifer Daugherty.
Even though six suspects are in jail, the motive for this brutal crime remains a mystery.

Wearing casual blue jeans and a black blazer, Kate posed for pictures and checked out the latest trends in contemporary art.

Busy schedule aside, Kate had lunch with her daughter, Lila, Tuesday before they jetted off to Brazil together. While Kate soaks up some beauty abroad, locals in her hometown of Croydon, England, will soon have a piece to admire themselves.

Look, I just played a couple games of nTT and there seems to be some strategy "problems".
First off, don't even bother with the altars. They don't give you anything that useful and its just a annoying addition.
Secondly, there is no laning phase. Just go as a 3 man gank squad and tear ass; this is because the lanes are so gankable and there is a fricken speed shrine.
Finally, to go with the ganking strat, high movement speed champs or champs with at least a movement speed buff are ****ing op. Like just wow, riot has made a map where you can totally ignore the objectives and rack up kills; then push after being really fed.

Judge orders another hearing for Barefoot Bandit
The April 10 hearing will be to consider dismissing new charges, which are for a crime Colton Harris-Moore already pleaded guilty to in a 2011 plea deal with three counties, said his attorney John Henry Browne.
The Associated Press
MOUNT VERNON — A superior court judge in Skagit County ordered a new court date Thursday for charges that county's prosecutor is pursuing against Barefoot Bandit Colton Harris-Moore.
The next hearing on April 10 will be to consider dismissing the new charges, which are for a crime Harris-Moore already pleaded guilty to in a 2011 plea deal with three counties, said his attorney John Henry Browne.
The thief who gained international notoriety has acknowledged dozens of crimes and was sentenced to seven years in prison as part of a 2011 plea deal resolving charges against him in three Washington counties.
Among those crimes was first-degree theft for stealing a Cirrus airplane from Anacortes in Skagit County in February 2010 and flying it to Orcas Island in San Juan County.
In February, Skagit County Prosecutor Rich Weyrich, who had refused to take part in the three-county plea deal, charged Harris-Moore with second-degree burglary for breaking into the Anacortes Airport and first-degree theft for taking the plane.
Thursdays' hearing lasted less than a half-hour. Harris-Moore wore a red shirt and pants from prison. He was in handcuffs and those were chained around his waist. He smiled slightly as he arrived, but then stood with his head down most of the time, giving only basic answers to questions from Judge Michael Rickert. At times, Browne showed him papers to read and sign.
Before the next hearing, Browne said, he will file a motion to dismiss the theft charges as a violation of Harris-Moore's Fifth Amendment right against being prosecuted twice for the same crime.
The lawyer said he will file the motion to dismiss the burglary charge based on prosecutorial misconduct.
Weyrich has said he didn't join the plea deal because he wanted Harris-Moore to answer for the Skagit County crimes in a local courtroom.
