Turtle Island Quartet
AIR DATE: March 2, 2012
To say that the Turtle Island Quartet doesn't take the traditional approach to music is to put it lightly: its cellist once performed at an 11,000-feet elevation on a cello made of ice. The Grammy-winning quartet boldly crosses between bluegrass, rock, bebop, funk, R&B, and swing, paying homage to everyone from Beethoven to Hendrix and Coltrane.
Join us, as we talk with two of its founding members, and Mark Summer gives a special cello performance of "Little Wing." The Turtle Island Quartet performs Friday, March 2, at 7 p.m. at the Historic Fifth Street School.

Dear Sir / Madam,With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. My name is JOHN TALABANI, I am a new and young Iraqi military officer recruited recently and attached to U.S soldiers presently working in Iraq and I found your contact particulars in an address journal.
I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of ( US$16.1 M ) Sixteen million One Hundred Thousand Dollars) to you as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care untill I complete my service or even retire voluntarilly when you finally help me collect this funds from the security and finance company that it is presently deposited.This is not a stolen funds as there is no dangers involved but its illegal for us to keep such loot during wars as professional soldiers.
SOURCE OF MONEY: Some money in various currencies was discovered concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunitions at a location near one of Saddam�s old palaces during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by all party present both the few Iraqi officers including myself and some U.S military officers that were on joint operation with us that the money should be shared amongst us, this was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? no compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole.
The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a personal friend that is working with REDCROSS organization here in IRAQ, and you know that his office enjoys travelling and baggage control immunity,he was able to help me send the consignment containing this funds out of IRAQ to a country in Europe with a security and finance company and get it deposited on my name.
This personal friend that is working with REDCROSS does not know the real content of the consgnment as i do not trust him fully because we are both in Irag and i do not want to be exposed tomorrow as regards to this loot because of my country and U.S military disciplinary action taking against serving officers for such behaviour.Instead, I preferred and decided to contact you to help me receive and claim this deposited consignment containing this funds from the security and finance company and give me my share later as your urgent receipt of this funds will make me retire from the army and start a new life with my share of the funds.
One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with a third party, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this mail as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us. I do not know for how long we will remain in battling hostile or volatile situation from the Iraqi insurgency here as at now, and I have survived 10 suicide bomb attacks, this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately.
If you are interested to help me claim this funds from the security and finance company where it is deposited, you are advised to send me the following information stated below so that i can send you document of deposit and change the beneficiary in your favour so that you can legally claim and receive this consignment.
The required information are: a) Your complete names. b) Telephone and fax numbers. c) Profession and position held d) Age and marital status.For this noble assistance of claiming this consignment,i will compensate you with 30% of the entire funds ( US$ 16.1 M ) while 65% will be for me and the balance 5% set aside for any releasing expenditure for the consignment. Please contact me through my email so we can discuss more. EMAIL: email@example.com OR firstname.lastname@example.com
Yours sincerely, JOHN TALABANI.

The Yankees no longer corner the market on ill will
By Christopher Heun
Regardless of how he plays this year, newest Oriole Jay Payton won over our hearts on his first day in town. After signing his contract Monday, he drew a connection between the two perennial titans of the A.L. East that we've been thinking about ourselves this off-season.
"I love trying to battle … the two Evil Empires, I call them, between Boston and New York, and knock those teams off," Payton said.
The Red Sox used to be everyone's favorite underdog to the original Evil Empire, the Yankees. Then Boston won the 2004 World Series and their players, their management and — most of all — their fans became just as obnoxious as anyone rooting for that team in pinstripes from the Bronx.
So, while this might not be exactly what Payton had in mind, here are our Top 10 Reasons Why The Red Sox Are An Evil Empire In Their Own Right:
10. It Takes Evil to Know Evil.
"The evil empire extends its tentacles even into Latin America." That's what Red Sox team president Larry Lucchino had to say in Dec. 2002 after losing out to the Yankees in the bidding for Cuban pitcher Jose Contreras, thus setting in motion countless Star Wars references by bored baseball fans everywhere. Boston general manager Theo Epstein added: "We went to the limit of fiscal sanity with our offer and would not go beyond." Fours years later, the Red Sox bid $51.1 million for exclusive negotiating rights to Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, surpassing all other competitors by roughly $20 million.
9. Manny Ramirez Might Be Traded, Take 5.
This has got to be tiresome for the reporters who have to cover it: every winter, the Sox say they're thinking of trading Manny Ramirez, but only if they can get fair value in return, by which they mean a package including at least a two-time All Star, three major-league ready prospects, and the ghost of Babe Ruth. Of course, Manny never leaves.
8. Does Curt Schilling Ever Shut Up?
Even George Steinbrenner, at the height of his manic obsession with dominating the back pages of the New York tabloids, never thought anybody cared to hear his opinions on anything other than baseball. Schilling, meanwhile, cannot resist the temptation of a reporter's microphone. They say the most dangerous place in Washington, D.C., is between Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and a microphone. Seems the same applies in Boston with Curt Schilling.
7. If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em.
Yes, the Yankees payroll routinely hovers around the $200 million mark, and for their extravagance the team must also pay a hefty tax. Only one other franchise in major league baseball is required to pay the luxury tax: the Red Sox.
6. Rules Are Made to Be Broken.
The Dodgers contemplated filing tampering charges against the Red Sox after Boston signed J.D. Drew to a five-year, $70 million contract earlier this month. On Nov. 10, Drew decided to forego the remaining three years and $33 million on his contract with the Dodgers. The possibility of tampering is bad enough, but what about the wisdom (or lack thereof) in giving $70 million to a 31-year-old outfielder who's never played more than 109 games in any two successive seasons?
5. Cheapest seat at Fenway Park not in the bleachers:
4. When In Doubt, Blame Divine Intervention.
Red Sox Nation's rabid insistence that all those decades without a championship was the work of a higher power. Funny how the fans of a team like the Royals, who haven't won anything since the days of "The Cosby Show," don't whine about a curse. It's like the T-shirt for sale in a shop across from Yankee Stadium says: "Hey Boston, there was no curse. Your team just sucked."
3. "Red Sox Nation" is really just another way of
saying, "I live in or around the Greater Massachusetts Metropolitan Area."
2. I Hate Him, But I Love Him Too!
Theo Epstein, the boy genius general manager who built the Sox into World Series champs, failed to see eye-to-eye with his mentor and boss, Lucchino, after the 2005 season. Epstein walked away from the team (in a gorilla suit, to evade the encamped media), which immediately ignited nonstop speculation about when he would return, which turned out to be just 10 weeks later. The whole saga had the makings of a Greek tragedy performed by a fifth grade drama troupe. Epstein, by the way, got his start in baseball when Lucchino hired him as an intern with the Orioles.
1. It's Just A Game, People. Really.
When the Yankees lose, the players and their fans trash the team's best player. When the Sox lose, it's like a preternatural force has ripped out the hearts of every man, woman and child who has ever heard the name Jason Varitek. Get over yourselves! And cheer up: the Yankees always lose in the playoffs, anyway.

Havana. August 29, 2006 - TROPICAL storm Ernesto could hit some parts of southeastern Cuba today, which is why the country is closely following its evolution.
According to the Institute of Meteorology's Forecast Center (INSMET), the storm system has become more organized, although its maximum sustained winds remain at 85 kilometers per hour.
Ernesto, the first hurricane to form in the eastern Caribbean Sea, reached that status before sweeping past the Cap de Tiburon in Haiti, and is the first cyclonic system to reach that category in the current season.
The hurricane later diminished to tropical storm category as the intensity of its maximum sustained winds went down from 95 to 85 kilometers per hour, although – Cuban meteorologists explain – the most significant aspect of the system is the rain that it is brining to eastern Cuba.
The system's pressure center went down in recent hours to 1,002 Hectopascal and continues to move along a northwesterly path, increasing its travel speed, which is now 19 kilometers per hour, INSMET reported.
At 6 a.m., its center was located at about 40 kilometers southwest of Guantánamo and about 45 kilometers southeast of Santiago de Cuba.
It is forecast that in the next 12 to 24 hours, Ernesto will move along the same path, with a similar traveling speed, reaching the southern coast of the eastern provinces tomorrow morning.
From Santo Domingo, Prensa Latina reported that the National Meteorology Office is maintaining updates for flooding and landslides, particularly in the southeast of the Dominican Republic, due to the heavy rains associated with the tropical storm.
The rains will continue for at least the next 24 hours, and cloud will extend over the entire country.
Europa Press reports that once the tropical storm passes the Gulf of Mexico, it will turn in a northwest direction, toward the western coasts of the Florida peninsula in the United States, and a hurricane watch is in effect for that southern U.S. state, including its northernmost cays.

The seizure recurrence rate was high, especially shortly after seizure
ACP J Club. 1991 Mar-April;114:54. doi:10.7326/ACPJC-1991-114-2-054
Source Citation
Hart YM, Sander JW, Johnson AL, Shorvon SD. National General Practice Study of Epilepsy: recurrence after a first seizure. Lancet. 1990;336:1271-4. (See also Sander JW, Hart YM, Johnson AL, Shorvon SD. National General Practice Study of Epilepsy: newly diagnosed epileptic seizures in a general population. Lancet. 1990;336:1267-71.) [PubMed ID: 1978114]
To investigate the risk for recurrence of seizures after a first epileptic attack.
Inception cohort.
Community-based study.
Only patients having definite epileptic seizures were included. Of the 564 included, 71% were 16 years of age or older, and 51% were men or boys. The cohort was assembled at the time of the first seizure and followed to seizure recurrence, death, or last available follow-up date known to be seizure free. 460 patients (82%) were followed for 2 to 4 years; 12% died and 7% were lost to follow-up.
Assessment of prognostic factors
Cause of initial seizure, type of seizure, number of seizures, age, and treatment.
Main outcome measure
Seizure recurrence.
Main results
A recurrence occurred within 12 months of the first seizure for 67% of patients (95% CI 63% to 71%), and within 36 months for 78% (CI 74% to 81%). The greatest risk for recurrence occurred in the early months after the first seizure. Factors affecting the risk for recurrence were cause — the highest risk being for seizures associated with a neurologic deficit presumed present at birth (100% by 12 mo); age — the highest risk being for patients < 16 years old (83% by 36 mo, CI 77% to 89%) or older than the age of 59 years (83% by 36 mo, CI 76% to 90%); and type of first seizure — the highest risk being for patients with simple partial or complex partial seizures (94% by 36 mo, CI 90% to 99%). Only 15% of patients were treated after the first seizure. Recurrence rates were lower in treated patients than in untreated patients: 50% recurrence by 12 months (CI 40% to 61%) compared with 70% (CI 66% to 74%), and 57% recurrence by 36 months (CI 46% to 68%) compared with 81% (CI 77% to 85%), respectively.
The recurrence rate for seizure was high (78% at 36 months), with the greatest risk for recurrence in the early months after the first seizure. Factors affecting the risk for recurrence were cause, age, type of seizure, and treatment.

Address for article reprint: Dr. Y.M. Hart, Atkinson Marley's Hospital, Department of Neurology, Copse Hill, Wimbledon, London SW19 ONE UK.
The clinical approach to patients with a single seizure remains uncertain mainly because of conflicting data on the risk for recurrence. The study by Hart and colleagues is an important contribution because of its superior study design. Because it was population based, the problem of selection bias was avoided. Also, patients were identified at an early, uniform point in their disease. Clinicians should be cautious, however, in drawing conclusions on the effect of cause on seizure recurrence because the extent of diagnostic investigation was not the same for all patients. A minor problem with the estimate of risk in this study was that 15% of patients were treated with an anticonvulsant, which would change the prognosis for the treated patients. The effect, however, would tend to lower the risk for recurrence falsely. Therefore, the true risk for recurrence may actually be even higher than this study suggests. Because the risk for recurrence is high, clinicians should consider treating patients after a first seizure, especially patients with neurologic deficits that are presumed to be present at birth, those younger than 16 years or older than 59 years, and those with simple partial or complex partial seizures.

First up is the Lotion Box. I used the 3D Rectangle Decorative Gift Box cut file for my box. In order to make the gift set look uniform I used the same pattern papers throughout the set. I cut the box from some Kraft Cardstock and then decorated the sides with the floral paper. I used the lovely purple pattern paper for the tag and the "Hello Lovely" tag is a sticker from the Sticker Sheet. The pink banners are from the Ephemera pack.
Quatrefoil Gift Card holder cut file. I loved the pop of floral paper behind the quatrefoil shape. So pretty!
Hexagon Box with Lid cut file.
3D Dublin Tea Rose cut file. I love adding some sort of dimensional element to my gifts for an extra special touch. I loved the pretty purple paper as well. I added another pearl brad to the center of the flower.

What he's asked starts with high school biology and builds up to undergrad microbiology/bioinformatics. What he's asking for is someone who knows the basics of the bioinformatics. (If you noticed that his questions show more a bioinformatics, vs. structural biology slant, then you're definitely qualified. ;) I've worked with people who have no biology/chemistry background when entering this field as software developers. It can happen. But it's rare. In general it's easier for a scientist to learn enough programming than for a programmer to learn enough science. Without the domain knowledge it's hard to even ask the right questions. There are cases where specific abilities, like optimization, outweigh knowing knowledge of the field, but this posting is obviously not about one of them. > What would work in our team, you may ask?

Those situations are very common, and he describes it well. It might be common as well outside the sciences, but I don't have enough experience in the wider world. I had one of my clients say to me (humorously) when I was describing the different technology solutions "you're saying things but all I hear is a bunch of sounds." This is part of the work I find fun, btw. Your customer doesn't want to be involved in making the technology decisions, just figure out what they want and get the work done. > Can you read incredibly messy old HTML, JavaScript and Perl code, > but write incredibly pristine python/django/jquery code, and do it > quickly? For some background on this in general (again, might have nothing to do with this particular job) see the part where I said "easier to teach a scientist to program"? Well, most of them don't program well. They learn just enough to get the science done. They've spent ~6 years of graduate school, plus industry experience, to get where they can do science. Not code. > Are you willing to take an incredibly low salary (comparatively) > because you're that interested in science, working for an very well > known research facility, etc? That's the tricky part for many people. When I got started in this field as a software developer I was cautioned by a recruiter that the wages were lower than in the general programming field. For one, why should someone with an undergrad degree at best be paid a lot more than someone with ~6 years of graduate school, plus industry experience? (There's also something which has only happened to me a couple of times in my career - looked down upon because I didn't have a PhD. There's a cultural tradition I've heard of in some places where the PhDs rule and everyone else is a bunch of lab monkeys. I've not come across it; it might be more common in a wet lab environment. Then again, most people assume I have a PhD.) But there are people, like me, who like working with more physically oriented data sets than working on, say, financial data or social networks. People who just like science, and will take the pay cut. It's also great fun to work with people who have absolutely no problem in peering intently at data and spending hours trying to figure something out. They want to do the things you're helping them do, and you usually get quick feedback. BTW, I'm available for consulting and contract programming in the life sciences, and programming training so those scientists can be more effective at doing their science ... but I charge pharma rates and don't plan to be an employee. ;) Andrew dalke at dalkescientific.com

The area of Ybor City, Florida is located near downtown Tampa and was a haven for immigrants from Italy, Spain, and Cuba in the 1880s. Most immigrants came to work in the neighborhood cigar manufacturers, with over 50 million cigars produced from the area alone over the years. Ybor City is now on the National Historic Landmark District registry and many buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The main street of Ybor City, 7th Avenue, was named one of the 10 greatest streets in the United States in 2008.
Residents of Ybor City know and appreciate the distinctive and cultural heritage of the area and enjoy their lively and lovely neighborhood. However, life in Florida can be anything but predictable, which means that hurricanes, storms or even man-made disasters like a burst pipe can occur anywhere in Florida, leaving homes in Ybor City or other Florida neighborhoods in need of professional water removal assistance.
Flood Removal Assistance
Whether the cause of residential or commercial flooding comes from Mother Nature or pure bad luck, flood damage is serious business and requires serious help.
Flood removal requires water removal and professional drying of your home or business, including the hard-to-reach or view areas of the property. Once your home or business is dry, professional odor prevention keeps bad odors from developing over time from residual water. In addition, your property should be re-inspected to ensure all moisture is gone and mold or mildew has no chance of developing.
While some homeowners think that they can clean up water and flood damage on their own using towels, a hair dryer or a portable fan, the fact is that water is a sneaky substance. Water may leak into areas of the home not visible with the naked eye, including the home's structure and foundation. This allows mold and odors to develop that can get worse and worse over time. This secondary damage, however, is preventable if the issue is addressed professionally within the first 48 hours of the initial water flood.
Professional Restoration Services of Tampa Bay, Inc.
Residents of Ybor City understand the beauty and value of a home or business in a historical neighborhood with rich cultural roots. If water and flood damage occurs in your Ybor City home or business, do not hesitate – call PRS of Tampa Bay as soon as possible.

In RDF(S), the statements eg:john_doe rdf:type eg:Person. and eg:john_doe rdf:subClassOf eg:Person. are entirely independent and mean different things. My understanding of RDF-MT is that the first statement means "I(eg:john_doe) is a member of ICEXT(I(eg:Person))" while the second means "ICEXT(I(eg:john_doe)) is a subset of ICEXT(I(eg:Person))". These are distinct assertions, and either can be true without the other being true. (I(x) is the interpretation of x, and ICEXT(y) is the set of all things belonging to the class y.) If I say eg:Dog rdfs:subClassOf eg:Mammal. I am not implying eg:Dog rdf:type eg:Mammal. because that would mean that the class "Dog" is a mammal, which it is not.

"Song Of Surrender" was birthed in spontaneous worship during our 2018 Corporate Fast
Story of the Living Stones
It was only moments later that service began — people had already been walking through the door. Pastor Norman opened his Bible to 1st Peter 2:5 and stood before the congregation. He said, "We have come to the living stone, our cornerstone, Jesus Christ. We are chosen and precious in his sight. Each one of us he calls a living stone — with our unique giftings we come together to build his church.
A Word From Elder Noe Sanchez
The night Pastor Sandra was praying for healing, she asked that if anyone had a scripture about healing, we could go up and read it.I found Exodus 23:25-26"25 So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. 26 No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days."I read that scripture again and something caught my eye. He gives us the promise to bless our "bread and water" and immediately after that promise, He says that He would take sickness away!We now know how we get sick most of the time, by what we eat and drink. God, here is promising us that He would bless our food and water so that we don't get sick.Now we know that we need to be responsible with our diet but nonetheless, many of us worry about our food because of all the contamination and diseases our food has! Even our water can't be trusted! Even if we watch our diet very carefully, we are never sure that it is completely free of some kind of disease or germ that can get us sick.What God is promising here is that as His children, we just need to worry about Him, putting his Kingdom first, serving him with all our heart and he will take care of our health by blessing what we eat and drink. Again, I want to emphasize that we need to be wise and responsible, but nonetheless, our peace comes from His promises we find in His Word and nothing else.I wanted to share this because, I feel that we need this word as a church.Blessings!Noe Sanchez

Stephen Bradley Wilkerson (born June 1, 1977) is an American former college and professional baseball player who was an outfielder and first baseman in Major League Baseball for eight seasons. Wilkerson played college baseball for the University of Florida, and was selected by the Montreal Expos in the first round of the 1998 Major League Baseball Draft. During his Major League career, he played for the Expos, Washington Nationals, Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays.
Early years
Wilkerson was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, where he attended and played baseball at Apollo High School. Wilkerson played for the US national junior baseball team in 1995. He was the most valuable player (MVP) of the World Junior Baseball Championship, pitching a three-hit shutout against Taiwan in the gold medal game, hitting .360, and leading Team USA with three home runs and eight runs batted in (RBI) for the tournament.
College career
A line drive hitter and versatile defensive player, Wilkerson received an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for coach Andy Lopez's Florida Gators baseball team from 1996 to 1998. A three-time first-team All-American, Wilkerson led the Gators to the College World Series in 1996 and 1998 with both his hitting and pitching. In the 1996 College World Series, he hit a dramatic grand slam to defeat the rival Florida State Seminoles.
As a junior in 1998, he became the first player in college history to hit 20 home runs, steal 20 bases, and win 10 games as a pitcher in the same year. The Gators advanced to the 1998 College World Series, and he was named College Player of the Year by Rotary Smith.[1]
Wilkerson was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as a "Gator Great" in 2010,[2][3] and the National College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2012.[4] In 2014, he received his bachelor's degree in sport management from the University of Florida.[5]
Professional career
Minor leagues
Wilkerson was selected by the Montreal Expos in the first round (33rd pick) of the 1998 Major League Baseball Draft. Initially, he struggled in the minors. In 1999, Wilkerson hit .235 with eight home runs and 49 RBI at Double-A Harrisburg. Back in the Eastern League to start the (2000) season, Wilkerson tore up the league, hitting .336, 6, 44 with 36 doubles. He was on pace to break the Eastern League record for doubles in a season before he was promoted to Triple-A Ottawa, of the International League. For the season, he was hitting .304-15-75 with 47 doubles in 408 at-bats.
While coming up through the minors, Wilkerson was a member of the gold medal-winning USA baseball team in the Sydney Olympics. In one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history, Team USA defeated Cuba 4–0 in the Gold Medal Game.
Major Leagues
Wilkerson debuted with Montreal on July 12, (2001), appearing in 38 games at left field. He recorded his first major league hit off Tim Wakefield of the Boston Red Sox on July 17, 2001 and his first major league home run off of Atlanta Braves pitcher Jason Marquis on July 26, 2001.
From 2002–2003, Wilkerson delivered almost identical seasons with a .266 average, 20 home runs and 59 RBI in (2002), and .268, 19, 77 in (2003). In 2002, he hit 20 home runs, an Expos rookie record and was named Rookie of the Year by The Sporting News. His most productive season came in (2004), when he posted career-highs in homers (32), hits (146), doubles (39), runs (112), walks (106), slugging percentage (.498) and OPS (.872), and hitting .255 with 67 RBI. In 2004, he hit the last home run in Expos history. He appeared once more in a Montreal Expos uniform during the Major League Baseball Japan All-Star Series shortly after the 2004 regular season. The Expos were to become the Washington Nationals for the 2005 season, prompting some to refer to Wilkerson as "The Last Expo."
Wilkerson open the 2005 season as the regular center fielder and leadoff hitter with the Expos moved to Washington. On December 7, 2005, Wilkerson was traded to the Texas Rangers along with outfielder Terrmel Sledge and minor league pitching prospect Armando Galarraga for second baseman Alfonso Soriano.
Wilkerson has hit for the cycle twice, the first on June 24, 2003, against Pittsburgh (with the Expos). In that occurrence, Wilkerson became the first player since 1957 to have the minimum four plate appearances and hit for a natural cycle. The second time was on April 6, 2005, against Philadelphia (with the Nationals, in their second game after moving from Montreal). Wilkerson also hit the first grand slam home run hit by a Washington Nationals player
While playing for the Texas Rangers in 2007, Wilkerson hit three home runs in one game – the third player to do so in 2007 behind Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Lee. An injury to, and later the trade of, Mark Teixeira led to Wilkerson making many of his starts at first base in 2007.
On January 31, 2008, Wilkerson signed a one-year contract with the Seattle Mariners. On April 30, he was designated for assignment, and on May 8 was given his unconditional release. May 9, he signed with the Toronto Blue Jays. On August 22, he was put on the 15-day disabled list by the Toronto Blue Jays .[6] On October 30, 2008, Wilkerson filed for free-agency from Toronto.[7]
On February 16, 2009, Wilkerson signed a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Boston Red Sox.[8]
Wilkerson decided to retire in 2009, having had one hit in nine Triple-A at-bats in the Boston minor league affiliate. He retired with a .247 batting average, .350 on-base percentage and 122 home runs.
On February 23, 2010, Wilkerson attempted a brief comeback by agreeing to a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. However, he was released on March 29.
Coaching career
In 2014, Wilkerson agreed to manage a middle school baseball team at The King's Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, leading the team to a league championship in his first year.[9] After the season, Wilkerson was hired as the school's varsity baseball coach.[10]
Wilkerson is also a coach for USA Baseball. In 2014, he was named Volunteer Coach of the Year by the organization.[11]
Personal life
Wilkerson married Dana Marie Gleason in 2006. They have three children—Ella, Ava and Max. In 2006, he was named a Kentucky Colonel by Governor Ernie Fletcher, the highest honor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.[12]
Wilkerson participated in numerous charitable functions over the course of his Major League career and he continues to do so post-retirement. He holds a charity golf tournament annually to raise money for various children's charities.

Research Instituteof Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE), Honda Research and Development that is a subsidiary of Honda Motor, and U.S. Department of Energy will jointly start the substantiative experiment of the bioethanol they developed together. The technology can produce bioethanol from stalks and leaves that cannot be offered as food at the same cost to produce gasoline. It is a combination of the pretreatment technology to recover sugar developed by U.S. Department of Energy and the gene recombination fungus that RITE's Dr. Hideaki Yukawa developed. Resistant to fermentation inhibitors, and Yukawa's fungus can use sugar produced in the pretreatment at a low cost.
The new technology will supposedly make it possible to produce bioethanol at 2.5 dollars per gallon, almost half of the present cost. The substantiative experiment of factor technologies will start in Japan in 2013, and experimental production of 1 ton per day will start in the U.S. in 2014. Subsequently, mass production experiment will start in alliance with an American company. Production of bioethanol was about 22,300 million gallons in 2011. However, most of the production was made of fruits of sugarcanes and corns, and inevitably food prices go higher.

Thanks to Sunless Nick for this one!
OK, so this week's theme is mentors. Which three women would you choose to mentor you, who would be happy in your success, even if you eclipse them?
My picks:
Phryne Fisher. She wants to see women ahead, and I'm sure that's even if they get ahead of herself. Hell, she's a 1920's woman with a 70's mindset, surely she would love to see a a protege of hers reach a 2030 mindset?
Sam Carter from Stargate:SG1. Because whatever problems the show had, Carter was intelligent, ambitious and was aware of the feminist divide. And really, the stuff she knew, who WOULDN'T want to learn?
Jackie Collins' Lucky Santangelo. She's had half a a dozen professions, excelled from them all. She wants to see women succeed. I generally don't like Collins, find her too gorgeous-heroine for my liking, and Lucky is definitely in the category of 'achieved ridiculous amounts'… but I still like her no-bullshit approach to life.
Your picks?

Underwater Photography Texas
Being part of the underwater photography Texas community, for which there are very few of us so I'm learning, has been such a fun adventure the last couple of years. What is likely one of my favorite parts of underwater kids photography is possibly a curse for the masses. So much of the outcome of underwater images relies on a variety of things. Lighting being one of the largest variables. What I realized this last season was how different light is in the summer months compare to the Spring and Fall months. Huge variations in the look and feel of the images. It's still such a learning process for me. Even though I've shot so many underwater photo sessions than I can count, with each and every one, I feel like I learn something new. One thing that will surprise most is that 99% of my images are shot in ONE, that is right, ONE pool. Yet in that one pool, I have gotten a huge gamete of different light and color. This would drive many photographers crazy, not being fully able to control the outcome of every image, but for me, I love the bit of unknown and celebrate it. This offers my clients a very nice variety in their gallery, but nothing too wonky of course. 🙂
I have soooo many underwater images still waiting to be blogged, but hopefully I will be caught up soon….maybe by next year…but don't hold your breath. hahaha.

Holy Saturday: Nature and Grace
Print Version April 7th, 2007
Von Balthasar's insistence, which I wrote of yesterday, that the Paschal Mystery not be made natural reveals something of his approach to the perennial issue of the interrelationship of nature and grace. He has an absolute conviction of the chasm between the two, between infinite and finite, between Creator and creature, that is only bridged from the other side when God, by grace and gift, makes the move to which we can respond.
How differently von Balthasar's contemporary Karl Rahner approaches the subject. For Rahner nature is only ever a 'limit concept'. As we experience the world 'nature' is always 'graced' and the two can only be spoken about separately on the understanding that they can never be prised apart. It leads Rahner in a somewhat different direction to von Balthasar:
Holy Saturday is a strange day, mysterious ans silent. It is a day without a liturgy. This is, as it were, a symbol of everyday life which is a mean between the abysmal terror of Good Friday and the exuberant joy of Easter. For ordinary life is also mostly in between the two, in the centre which is also a transition and can only be this.
The Holy Saturday of our life must be the preparation for Easter, the persistent hope for the final glory of God. If we live the Holy Saturday of our existence properly, this will not be a merely ideological addition to this common life as the mean between its contraries. It is realised in what makes out everyday life specifically human: in the patience that can wait, in the sense of humour which does not take things too seriously, in being prepared to let others be first, in the courage which always seeks for a way out of the difficulties.
The virtue of our daily life is the hope which does what is possible and expects God to do the impossible. To express it somewhat paradoxically, but nevertheless seriously: the worst has actually already happened; we exist, and even death cannot deprive us of this. Now is the Holy Saturday of our ordinary life, but there will also be Easter, our true and eternal life.

Love the Rahner. To me he is saying the same as Von Balthasar although coming at it from a differenct angle. I've made a choice to avoid the overload of imagery and the wordiness of the Easter Vigil this year. I hope it leaves more room for what both of them are talking about. Thanks for sharing them.
2. Paul Priest | July 10th, 2007 at 4:26 pm
I have to ask rhetorically – "You mean von Balthasar got it right and Rahner was just plain confused! ?"
Yes I'm biassed ; being inundated with Eckhardt, de Chardin and way too much Evolutionary Hegelian-contaminated systematic theology – Rahner just becomes too panentheistic and I'm sorry,but Grace is a supernatural gift from God, not a hypernatural unfurling of self in respect of natural Divine revelation.
I'm not clever enough to suggest that Rahner was wrong, but I know when von Balthasar speaks with truth – the Person of Christ.

Contrary to his image as avuncular national treasure, Charles Dickens was a tormented figure, who likely fathered at least one illegitimate child and may have projected his affairs into his novels, says the actor Ralph Fiennes.
Speaking at the Toronto film festival the afternoon after the premiere of The Invisible Woman, in which Fiennes plays Dickens as he pursues an affair with much-younger actress Nelly Ternan, the actor said the gap between brand and man is much wider with Dickens than most people realise. "Dickens was tormented, he had huge extremes of emotion. We tend to get the sort of Christmas card Dickens – the smiling, jolly father-figure, entertaining the family. But when you read about him, you can identify this very disturbed man: a man in anguish."
Adapted by Abi Morgan from a biography by Claire Tomalin, the film's portrayal of Nelly (played by Felicity Jones) as a complex character torn between love and social suicide has reverberations in the novelist's work, Fiennes said.
"Great Expectations was written when we know he was involved with Ellen Ternan. And Felicity and I had a lot of conversations about the degree to which Estella might be inspired by Nelly. It's very interesting the extent to which you can identify elements of Nelly in many of his female characters, especially in his later books."
"I actually feel that his female characters get much better after his affair with Nelly," Jones joked.
Though Tomalin's biography stops short of declaring the couple definitely suffered a miscarriage, Fiennes is confident in his film's version of events. "Claire argues that although there is no absolute proof, she believes there was certainly consummation. And absolutely she believes there was a child, even possibly two. Other biographers have started to acknowledge that this is probably the best bet."
The couple also spent time in France, and great chunks of time are unaccounted for in Dickens's diaries. "France was the place people went to in England when they had to deal with illegitimate births. So I just followed the hints and the leads that Claire writes."
But Fiennes also felt it was important not to sensationalise the story. "I was wary of the quick leap to judgment – 'Dickens was a scoundrel.' An Irish friend of mine said, 'Oh he was a bit of a bollocks, wasn't he.' But there's a whole spectrum of Dickens. He was very loyal to his friends, incredibly generous, devoted to social causes that he really delivered on, wrote these amazing books, and then at home possibly was a very difficult father figure."
One of the Britain's leading stars of stage and screen, Fiennes had nevertheless had barely any contact with the country's most famous novelist until he started work on the film. "It's true that I was pretty ignorant about Dickens. I'd read Little Dorritt and seen some films, but Dickens had never been prescribed to me and I had never chosen to go through the canon of his work - and in a way that may have been a plus, I came open, and became completely fascinated."
The film casts Nelly's torment within the contemporary context of the struggles women faced in Victorian England, almost entirely dependent on the earnings of men. "Mrs Ternan, the mother, tacitly allows this relationship to happen," Fiennes said. "What's she going to do? She risks social ostracisiation for her daughter, but the security and the benefits of support of Dickens perhaps outweigh the risk of breaking the taboo."
It wasn't all strum and drag on set, however. "I had to wear this huge bow tie. I kept saying, it's too much it's too much – but then I looked at the pictures of Dickens and of course it's huge, out to here. So I embraced it." And, as both actor and director, Fiennes was able to weigh in on the two sides of himself. "Ralph Fiennes the actor is very difficult, he's very moody, tempestuous, storms off the set. And Ralph Fiennes the director … is also very difficult."

A week away from heading to Tennessee, where shell be stepping before the cameras for the ghost story SHUDDER, gore kitten Tiffany Shepis gave Fango the scoop on DARK REEL, a project shes expected to star in this October. Once entitled STARLET, the project is being produced by David Forlane and helmed by newcomer Josh Eisenstaet, who has surrounded himself with quite the eclectic cast. Hes got this weird David Lynch way about him, says Shepis. (And shes right; on a weekend trip up to Eisenstaets home, Fango found his love for the Lynch extended to displaying the directors choice one-sheets around his posh abode.) Hes such a fan that hes gotten a lot of the original cast members of TWIN PEAKS to come on board. Details regarding whom are not being revealed, but Shepis does divulge that shell be co-starring alongside Lance Henriksen; the two both appeared in ABOMINABLE, though they didnt share any screen time together.
I play Casey Blue, a scream queen who is at the peak of her popularity, Shepis explains. Shes a huge collector of 50s memorabilia and may or may not be connected to the 1958 murder of a little-known actress named Scarlet May. Adam, a horror-obsessed fanboy, wins a contest for a walk-on role in Caseys new horror epic THE PIRATE WENCH. When that happens, all hell breaks loose; murders on the set and hauntings in real life start to resemble the mystery of the Scarlet May murder.
Rena Riffel, who had a small turn in Lynchs MULHOLLAND DR., will also star as La Rue, with more cast members to be announced. Shooting will take place in Los Angelesa welcome change for Shepis, who, in the last two months, has been bouncing around the States for various productions and will soon jet to Italy for the religious chiller NYMPHA. Check out our major Shepis interview in Fango #258, on sale next month.

WA: Reed Off the Hook?
The effort to remove him comes primarily from fellow Republicans, who feel Reed sided with Democrats one too many times during the contested 2004 gubernatorial election.
The real issue is not whether a recall election ever sees the light of day, but if backers have succeeded in proving their point, that Reed has been unfairly accommodating to the corrupt Democrats in Washington State.
I'd say they've accomplished that. Whether Reed gets the message is not clear.
(Seattle Times)
OLYMPIA — A Thurston County Superior Court judge today rejected an attempt to recall Secretary of State Sam Reed.
Martin Ringhofer of Soap Lake, and Linda Jordan of Seattle filed a petition recently seeking to recall Reed.
They argued in the petition that Reed committed "misfeasance or malfeasance" during the election in part because he certified results for the governor's race even though it was an election "he knew was wrought with violations of election laws and regulations."
Jordan argued Reed should not have certified the results. "It is clear to us Mr. Reed knowingly failed to perform his duty," she said.
State law requires a court review to determine if charges against an elected official are serious enough to warrant a recall effort. Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Even said Reed would have had to do something "very, very wrong and do it knowingly" for the recall to move forward.

Oversized promises in the form of real estate advertisements are promoting the new city along the lines of global real estate and living standards. The perfect union to all you desire and We believe luxury is best served in small quantities first seen along Varthur Road in Whitefield, Bangalore, caught my attention. The second one leaves a particularly ironic, tangy, protestant-flavoured impression, seen from the German point of view.
Questions emerged about the Indian caste system, the sense of community, modesty and personal goals.
The design of this urbanity also reminds me of earlier journeys to the United Arab Emirates and Shanghai. The new urbanity becomes exchangeable, custom-tailored and its ultra-luxurious villas accessible for the chosen few of the Pepsi Generation.
But what happens to the majority of a citys population and its needs, uncertain ownership and neglect of basic amenities? Can it withstand the pressure flashed on every corner of the city? Do these promises affect social cohesion? ...

The protocol addresses the poor survival rate for out-of-hospital witnessed cardiac arrest. The goal of the modified protocol was to use increased quality chest compressions to create an optimal environment for defibrillation, improving the patient's chance at survival. Comparing three years prior to implementation to one year subsequent, survival in witnessed cardiac arrest patients with ventricular fibrillation to hospital discharge increased from 22.4 percent (32/143) to 43.9 percent (25/47). Of the 25 survivors, 88 percent (22/25) had favorable Cerebral Performance Category results upon discharge.

CBS, you sure know how to rain on a parade! The celebrity chit chat on your three hours of Thanksgiving Day parade coverage was extremely boring and it interfered with the purpose of the program, which was to view the parades. Another distressing aspect of the coverage was the number of commercials. All the self-promotion for CBS was grossly overdone as well.

Well, Orlando has continued to toil away, he seems to have taken out the master suite in Ozzie's doghouse (no I do not have a citation on that) and he continues to do the same things which made him a Gold Glove winner in Anaheim. They seem to be coming around and being more productive lately. I'm curious if the large number of F's for complete failure are reduced somewhat. He's won several PTC lately. He is a much better shortstop than Uribe and I'm curious if his performance lately has shown that to anyone else. I received a great deal of mocking for making that statement previously. Obviously, Ozzie Guillen agrees with me (isn't that ironic) because he could be playing Uribe just as easily.

Hildegarde von Bingen (12th C.) was a medieval mystic known especially for her illustrated work, Scivias, a discourse on 26 religious visions. The 26 plotted drawings, alluding to her 26 "visions", were generated from the same parent code seeded with 26 numbers.
The four gold-leaf orbs, allude to medieval manuscript illumination. Verostko views his studio network of pen plotters as an electronic scriptorium where he illuminates 20th Century electronic scripts and drawings.

This 1963 expressionist painting was made by hand, by the artist in his pre-algorist period. His work as an abstract expressionist and , and experience with Chinese shufa, lead him to achieve expressionist qualities in his robotic brush work as in Frog Jump (above).

Two of 100 original pen, ink & brush plotted drawings bound into a limited edition of Chapter III from George Boole"s Investigation of the Laws of Thought . These examples, from a family of 100 originals, generated with the same "parent code", demonstrate the awesome leverage of form generating algorithms.. Each "one of a kind" form, bears a familial resemblance to all other forms generated by the same parent code. This may be the first example of a limited edition of books where each book includes original, "one of a kind" front and end pieces, in a family of forms. Roger Malina, who wrote the introduction for this edition, referred to this procedure as "post mechanical" reproduction.
