Facing the Indian Ocean, the coastline of Mozambique is extensive and extremely rich. Beaches, islands, lush flora and fauna provide a highly varied offer for everyone. Catembe and Inhaca Island are two excellent choices in the Maputo region.
The Maputo region, limited to the north by the province of Gaza, to the south by South Africa, Swaziland to the west and to the east by the Indian Ocean. It is an excellent destination for those seeking sun and sea, thanks to the fantastic beaches, a magnificent climate and the hospitality of the people. In this paradise destination you can simply enjoy the sun and a swim in its clear waters or you can dive in the coral reefs and enjoy the extraordinary fauna and flora of this region. You can also do spearfishing and fishing. The main beaches of Maputo are Catembe, with an excellent view of the city and the island of Inhaca, with a biological heritage of humanity due to the multicolored coral, sea turtles and other marine mammals. Inhaca is a 15 minute flight from Maputo and offers excellent tourist facilities. It is an area characterized by the mangroves, but also by two uninhabited islets (Santa Maria and Portuguese islands), accessible by boat and excellent choice for a day of complete quietness on the beach. Be sure to observe the diversity of fish along the coral banks. Others to consider are the sandy beach Macaneta, Ponta do Ouro, 100 kilometers from Maputo, known for its waves, and Ponta de Malongane.

PoliticsEU reaches deal on budget $1.25 trillion budget for 2014-2020 still needs to be approved by members of the European parliament. 27 Jun 2013 12:00 GMT | Politics, Europe, Germany, Ireland, United Kingdom European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said the deal gave "more flexibility" [AP]The European Union has reached a deal on a $1.25 trillion budget for 2014-2020. The decision was taken on Thursday hours before an EU summit mulls how to get millions of jobless youths back into the workplace. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said a deal was reached at emergency breakfast talks he called between the Commission, which is the EU executive, the European Parliament leadership, and Ireland, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency. The high-level compromise, which follows months of bitter dispute between European Union institutions and European capitals over the budget, must still be formally approved by parliament's 754 lawmakers. At a summit in February, hardline Britain, backed by Germany and the Netherlands, shot down a Commission bid to increase the budget by 5.0 percent as unacceptable in times of austerity. Instead, EU leaders for the first time ever agreed to cut spending by 3.0 percent but this in turn sparked an uproar in the parliament where members of European parliament said funds were needed to bring back growth and jobs to struggling Europe. 'More flexibility' Parliament recently refused a compromise deal. It demanded greater flexibility in the budget, for example allowing funds not used in one area to be transferred to another sector. MEPs also want a mid-term review in the hope that if the economy picks up, the spending constraints might be eased. Barroso said Thursday's political deal included "more flexibility" on payments and commitments, expenditure on youth employment, research, the Erasmus student programme, help for small businesses and increased aid for Europe's most deprived.Source: Agencies

When insects go foraging, they zoom off from their nest in complex zig-zag paths. How do they manage to find their way back home? And how do they manage to do so along a straight path?

Santa, Satan, St. Nick and Krampus (the moral fluctuation of holiday heroes and villains)
The holidays are always a strange time. The Winter Solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years – it can be argued that astrological events led to the creation of religious practice – but different cultures celebrate in unique fashions.
But modern Western culture embraces such a confusing hodgepodge it's bound to cause discord.
One baptist minister for example is drawing heat for a church sign that reads "Santa is Satan."
He's not the first Christian to complain that "Jesus is the reason for the season" and Santa is just a commercial pagan novelty. But who really has the greatest claim to the holiday season?
Even if he was historical – any first year theology student will tell you that December 25th wasn't his real birthday – that date didn't get introduced into Christmas practices for centuries; and it was assimilated because it was too strong a cultural tradition (already being practiced and celebrated for millennium) to scratch out. So Christianity embraced it and set Jesus birthday to match the dozens of other saviors also said to have been born on that day.
Where does Santa fit in?
Santa is actually Saturn, the old man in the sky (the only god of the pantheon with a … Read More »
I.Origins – Does faith pervert science?
It's a classic love story.
Boy meets girl.
Girl is wistful and spiritual, boy is scientific and needs facts and data.
(Spoiler Alert!)
Girl gets cut in half when elevator fails.
Besides having the most gruesomely tragic death scene I've ever witnessed – something out of a Final Destination movie – I.Origins starring Brit Marling, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey and Michael Pitt is an interesting, in-depth look at God, faith, spirituality and the space between.
In the metaphor that frames the storyline, worms have no eyes: they can't imagine that light exists. But it's all around them. They are surrounded by it. The scientists are trying to give worms eyes so they can see the light.
Do humans also lack a sense that would give us the capacity to see another dimension?
Or have only some of us evolved, but not all?
The lead scientist begins as an atheist, and studies eyes because they are "the one thing religious people always use to challenge the Theory of Evolution." They're all so different and unique. He discovers the evolution of the eye and then goes on to write the book, "The Complete Eye" explaining every evolutionary stage so it's no longer a mystery.
Later, him and his lab partner-turned-wife have a son – at first … Read More »
Dracula Untold: making vampires into heroes and Muslims into devils (Was Vlad the Impaler a Christian?)
I've been excited about the 2014 retelling of the Dracula mythos for quite some time.
A Faust-based narration, casting Vlad the Impaler as a suffering hero who made a deal with the Devil to save his people?
Sign me up!
What I wasn't prepared for was the sermonizing, heavy-handed Christian morality, and cliché, card board cutout representations of good and evil.
Let's start with the basics.
Vlad the Impaler, Vlad III, was a Prince of Wallachia – Transylvania – who lived in the 15th century.
He was sent to live with the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire.
He was called Dracula – he was a member of the House of Drăculești, his father was the Dracul, and the added "a" just means "son of."
And he was bloodthirsty – and he did have a reputation for staking a lot of corpses and leaving them to rot.
Where do vampires fit in?
They don't.
Although Romania does have its own legends of supernatural horror, including bodies rising from the grave and sucking out the life force of humans, and these legends inspired early Gothic Literature and stories of erotic vampire romances, Vlad wasn't connected to vampirism until Bram Stoker wrote a novel pairing two and two together.
Stoker did it so well that Dracula became The Vampire – the stereotype … Read More »
Crossbones TV Series: Pirates and the Devil Continued
In the PhD Thesis I'll finish one day, I make the connection between the rise of pirates, libertarianism and democracy with sacrilege and devil worship – not "real" devil worship of course, simply people who openly rebelled against the idea of God and aligned themselves openly with the politics of Satan.
So I've been pleased to watch the sudden increase in pirate fascination… which I thought was running dry after the Pirates of the Caribbean movies but keeps popping up in new TV series like Black Sails.
Tonight I'm watching Episode One of Crossbones, and after some fighting and not great acting, we reach the first real conversation between a doctor and the infamous Blackbeard, which turns immediately theological.
What led you to the physician's life?
An interest in the mechanism of the human body.
Is that what the human body is – a mechanism?
In many respects… in most.
That doesn't strike me as a very godly proclamation. Do you accept God?
I fear I have no love for him.
Why ever not?
Because he wishes me to fear him.
That is a splendid answer.
And you… do you call yourself a Christian?
Why would I not?
Because many legends abound about you, not all of them flattering.
Such as?
You're the devil. You spit … Read More »
Dominion TV Series: The AntiChrist is the Hero in the War on Heaven
25 years ago, God disappeared. Some angels blamed humans, and led by Gabriel, they waged a war against the humans. Other, higher angels, led by Michael, decided to protect the humans. A child is born, with markings on his body, who will grow up to become the savior of the human race and lead mankind out of darkness.
Followers of the faith "continue to believe that the chosen one, our savior will reveal himself to us."
The main character, Alex, is a rebel (secretly in a relationship with the leader's daughter). Michael and the leadership are authoritarian. "Someday," Alex says, "We're going to live in a place where there aren't any numbers. Where we aren't told what to do, where to sleep and whom to marry. One day… we're going to be free."
Here's the funny thing – the TV series, along with the screenplay "Legion" that it's based on, appears to be a remake of basic Christian mythology; as such it should be a cool show for Christians to enjoy.
But the call for 'FREEDOM' against authority has never been the Christian war cry; the quest for freedom is part of the Satanic tradition – a liberal philosophy first set out openly in … Read More »
8 more shocking things you didn't know about the Biblical Noah's Ark story (that the movie totally got wrong)
I was less than impressed with the 2014 remake of the biblical story of Noah and the Ark, featuring Russell Crowe. While some of the thematic and symbolistic changes they made were interesting (I'll discuss those below), the controversy itself offers much for discussion. People are angry because it "wasn't true to the Bible." But the truth is most Christians don't realize the version they learned in Sunday School isn't in the Bible either – the stuff that's actually in the real, Bible story is more surprising than anything that happened in the movie.
So let's start with some background, and contrast it with biblical knowledge and what was in the movie.
1) The story doesn't come from the Bible
The Epic of Gilgamesh, the greatest literary accomplishment of Mesopotamia, was widely translated throughout the ancient Middle East long before the Old Testament was written. The similarities between it and the story of Noah should be apparent to anyone familiar with the biblical account of the flood. The Babylonian Noah was named Utnupishtim, who with his wife became immortal after surviving the great flood. Gilgamesh, in his quest for immortality, seeks him out and gets to hear the story first hand. The gods … Read More »
St. Valentine is a lie – and why that means you should question everything.
It's Valentine's Day again, which means we'll all be buying cards, chocolates and flowers for our significant other (or ridiculing the holiday for its commercial vapidness). Since Valentine's Day is one of the major holidays of the western world, you've probably heard the history:
We celebrate Valentine's day in honor of St. Valentinus, who was martyred a long time ago around February 14th – the "romance" part is because he continued to marry soldiers during wartime; the crime that led to his death.
Except until the 18th Century, the "romantic" part wasn't celebrated at all (although kind of referenced in some literature) and suddenly burst into being, with the popularity of mass-produced, factory-made Valentine's Day cards. So how did we get from a guy dying for marriage – through an interim of around 1500 years – to the romantic meaning we have to day?
Like almost all western holidays, St. Valentine's day is a massive Christian cover up.
Christian leaders soon learned that officially prohibiting a thousand-year-old cultural custom was impossible, so in every case (even the very minor holidays which they made Saints Days) they took the dates people were already celebrating and shifted the "why" – so that people could keep doing … Read More »

Diagnostic radiology services are tests that help your physician diagnose your condition. The following diagnostic radiology services are offered:
A radiograph or x-ray is a non-invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Some of the most frequent uses of x-rays are to obtain images of bones and joints, and the chest. The images are interpreted by a radiologist using a computer and special high resolution monitors. The radiologist is a physician who specializes in diagnosing and treating disease and injury using medical imaging.
A DXA Scan, also called dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, is a non-invasive x-ray technology used to measure bone loss. DXA is the established standard for measuring bone density and guiding treatment for osteoporosis.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) technology has been commonly used as a non-invasive medical test for diagnosing medical conditions. Most hospitals utilize 1.5T MRIs, but SACH offers patients 3Tesla technology and 1.5 Tesla Wide Bore, which produces images with greater clarity and detail. Patients who experience stroke and patients undergoing brain surgeries are among the chief beneficiaries of MRI technology, but it is also used for imaging the spine, muscles, bones, joints, and breast tissue. Wide Bore is also available for patients who maybe anxious about confined spaces.
Computerized Tomography (CT) scanners work by directing x-ray beams through the patient's body, which are then caught by detectors that spiral around the body and create 2D and 3D images. SACH's state-of-the-art 64-slice CT system produces greater detail and clarity of anatomical structures. While CT scans have applications for various parts of the human body, they are especially helpful for physicians at SACH's Heart Center, since the scan can reveal a virtual road map of the heart structures and coronary arteries.
Digital mammography and diagnostic ultrasound are offered through the Women's Breast & Imaging Center. Digital mammography is advanced technology that takes highly detailed breast images from different angles, allowing the radiologist to review and manipulate images of the breast for enhanced views. This can assist to view subtle or early signs of cancer. Breast ultrasound is also used as a complementary diagnostic test if an area of concern is detected on mammography.
Breast biopsies are performed to evaluate an area of concern identified on a mammogram. A stereotactic breast biopsy is a minimally-invasive procedure that uses stereo images (advanced images of the breast from different angles) to determine the precise coordinates of the abnormal tissue to be biopsied. Stereotactic breast biopsies can usually be performed on an outpatient basis by an interventional radiologist at the Women's Breast & Imaging Center.
Ultrasound imaging, also called sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound examinations do not use ionizing radiation (as used in x-rays). Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through arteries and veins.
Ultrasound is frequently used to evaluate the abdominal organs, the uterus and ovaries in the pelvis, and the unborn child (fetus) in pregnant patients. Ultrasound is also used to evaluate blockages in blood vessels, such as the carotid arteries which supply blood to the brain, and to evaluate the veins in the legs to determine if blood clots are present.
Catheter angiography is a minimally invasive test that produces pictures of blood vessels. A thin plastic tube (catheter) is inserted into an artery through a small incision in the skin. The catheter is guided to the area being examined, contrast material is injected, and images are obtained using x-rays.
Angiography is most frequently used to diagnose blockages in major arteries throughout the body. Non-invasive angiography can also be done at times using computed tomography (CTA) or magnetic resonance (MRA).

Hyponatremia is a condition in which the amount of sodium (salt) in the blood is lower than normal.
Dilutional hyponatremia; Euvolemic hyponatremia; Hypervolemic hyponatremia; Hypovolemic hyponatremia
Sodium is found mostly in the body fluids outside the cells. It is very important for maintaining blood pressure. Sodium is also needed for nerves, muscles, and other body tissues to work properly.
When the amount of sodium in fluids outside cells drops, water moves into the cells to balance the levels. This causes the cells to swell with too much water. Brain cells are especially sensitive to swelling, and this causes many of the symptoms of hyponatremia.
In hyponatremia, the imbalance of water to salt is caused by one of three conditions:
Hyponatremia can be caused by:
Common symptoms include:
The health care provider will perform a complete physical examination to help determine the cause of your symptoms. Blood and urine tests will be done.
The following laboratory tests can confirm and help diagnose hyponatremia:
The cause of hyponatremia must be diagnosed and treated. If cancer is the cause of the condition, radiation, chemotherapy , or surgery to remove the tumor may correct the sodium imbalance.
Other treatments depend on the specific type of hyponatremia.
Treatments may include:
The outcome depends on the condition that is causing the problem. Acute hyponatremia, which occurs in less than 48 hours, is more dangerous than hyponatremia that develops slowly over time. When sodium level falls slowly over days or weeks (chronic hyponatremia), the brain cells have time to adjust and swelling is minimal.
In severe cases, hyponatremia can lead to:
Hyponatremia can be a life-threatening emergency. Call your health care provider right away if you have symptoms of this condition.
Treating the condition that is causing hyponatremia can help. If you play sports, drink fluids such as sports drinks that contain electrolytes. Drinking only water while you are active can lead to acute hyponatremia.

The process of translating biomedical discoveries into novel therapies continues to increase in complexity as science and technology rapidly evolve. To ensure timely patient access to safe and effective innovative medical products, it is critical that the science of drug review and evaluation keeps up with rapid advances in drug discovery and development, so that experts across the ecosystem are able to understand, adopt and apply new scientific tools, standards, and approaches in evidence-based decision making processes.
The Catalyst
Most Recent Posts
Ensuring that patients have access to the medicines they need is at the heart of what biopharmaceutical research companies do every day. The Affordable Care Act put in place a new way for Americans to access health insurance coverage and even provides assistance in the form of tax credits and cost-sharing reductions for those who need it most.
Yesterday, ASCO held a panel entitled, "Can We Find Common Ground? Stakeholder Perspectives on Value in Cancer." At the tail end, a woman stepped to the mike to make an observation to the panelists. Describing herself as a patient and an advocate, she declared that she heard little in the presentations about patient-reported outcomes, particularly in reference to ASCO's value initiative that is in the works.
In case you missed it, The Hill featured an op-ed by PhRMA President and CEO John J. Castellani, "Health insurance model must evolve," to coincide with the start of the American Society of Clinical Oncology' (ASCO) 50th anniversary conference.
The cost of innovative new medicines to treat devastating diseases such as cancer and Hepatitis C has been a hot discussion topic this week. A critical part of this discussion – the value of these treatments – however, has been overlooked.
Collaboration among all stakeholders needed to improve drug development and optimize expanded access
Each patient facing a life-threatening disease lives with the hope that tomorrow will bring a new medicine to extend and improve his or her life. As a scientist, a new father, and as someone who lost a parent to stage IV lung cancer far too early in life, it is gut-wrenching to admit that modern drug development continues to be a highly challenging and far too often unsuccessful endeavor.
Businesses know the impact of poor health and see first hand how some communities are affected more than others. Truly improving health takes time, effort and investment from all of us. With one out of two Americans having at least one chronic condition, the costs of chronic disease are staggering and affect every community, every business, and every person.
It is penny wise and pound foolish to focus solely on the price of a new medicine while completely ignoring the value it provides to patients and the health care system broadly. Curing Hepatitis C not only dramatically improves patients' lives, but has the potential to save the U.S.
Recently, there has been a significant amount of conversation around the cost and value of innovative medicines, especially those intended for patients who suffer from chronic, debilitating diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis C and cancer. Providing benefit not only for patients, but the overall U.S. health care system, it's important that we keep in mind short- and long-term human, economic and societal implications as we work together to address these costly illnesses head on.
Across our health care system, it's critical that patients always remain at the center of our shared efforts to improve, extend and save lives. For PhRMA and the industry writ-large, this is a bedrock mindset and ongoing access to innovative medicines represents health care's best shot at preventing and managing costly chronic diseases. This week, we focused on the importance of patient access – along with safety – both in the United States and around the globe.
The New York Times' The Upshot recently ran a piece by Aaron Carrol, "People With Chronic Illness Fare Worse Under Cost-Sharing," looking at the impact cost-sharing has on consumers. Here are a few highlights from the article:
Through innovative immunization practices, smallpox has been eradicated, polio and measles have nearly been eradicated and diseases like hepatitis A and B and some forms of cancer have been prevented. Vaccines have profoundly impacted patient health, and while their success has been life altering for millions of people around the world, there is still progress to be made.
Mental illness, whether we realize it or not impacts us all. 61.5 million Americans or one in four has a mental illness. The statistics can be alarming when you take a deeper look: One in 20 U.S. children has ADHD, 21 million American adults currently suffer from depression, and 40 million Americans have some type of anxiety disorder. But there is hope.
Hepatitis C impacts an estimated 3.2 million Americans. Between 60 and 70% of those with hepatitis C develop chronic liver disease, between 5 and 20% will eventually develop cirrhosis, and an estimated 12,000 die from hepatitis C related illness each year.
China's Food and Drug Administration recently issued a warning to patients that it cannot guarantee the safety, authenticity and efficacy of cancer medicines purchased online. The new warning was issued after a study by drug regulators in Shenzhen found that 75 percent of foreign cancer medicines purchased online were found to be counterfeit or ineffective.

Performance golf ball fitting focuses on finding the best ball for your game and lowering your score.
Titleist offers the most precise club fitting experience in the game.
Need to customize headwear, gloves, bags, or golf balls?
Track your stats. Get video tips. Set goals for your golf game.
I live in the San Diego area and would love to have the opportunity to test out titleist equipment. I have a very flexible work schedule and can easily get up to Oceanside on any given day. Please feel free to consider me whenever you have anything going on. Thx!
Hi Robert - Thank you for your offer! Unfortunately, we would be looking for testers in the Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Marcos, Vista area or someplace within 20 minutes.
sign me up to test any titleist equipment
I was wondering if I can do the club testing because I live in New Hampshire however the club pro at our course is on your team titleist list and he get balls shipped to him and he also demos you clubs but I'm not quite 20 minutes away from the Oceanside facility?
I was wondering about this myself because I live in New Hampshire however the course pro is on your team titleist equipment testing list. I was wondering if it is possible for me to do this because I would really love to!!!
Robert C Cathi, I live in the San Diego area and would love to have the opportunity to test out titleist equipment. I have a very flexible work schedule and can easily get up to Oceanside on any given day. Please feel free to consider me whenever you have anything going on. Thx!
The best way to get test equipment is to be a tour pro. they have the skill to provide the feedback. Many feel that the amateurs should test equipment to give manufacturers feedback on how clubs do in mis-hits. Thre may be validity to that, but what we need to know if how good clubs react to good strikes, IMHO.
Randy PRandy p I used to receive the latest 6 iron from Titliest every year. I'd use it and give my feedback.. Then, just like that it stopped. I purchased new irons 3 different times after I had tested the new model. You cant tell me that the ameture golfers don't have an impact on your bottom line. I'm not a rich person by any means, but I am sworn to the Pro-v1 golf ball. Wouldn't use anything else. It would be nice to know you are still targeting the 95% of us weekend golfers. This business is all about money now, who can sign the biggest pros. What brand that can stand out the most on TV. We all have dreams of being a pro golfer, for most of us, it's just a dream. It would still be nice to know we are still important to you. I think some things need to change in the way you do things. There's one company out there that still believes in sharing with the average golfer.
Thanks for the post. I just wanted to hopefully clarify a bit on the topic.
Player testing with amateurs is still a very important component to our R&D and product development process. We just completed a product test panel with more than 40,000 Team Titleist members last year as we developed the new performance line of Titleist golf balls (http://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/b/tourblog/archive/2014/01/22/titleist-advances-performance-in-2014-with-new-nxt-tour-nxt-tour-s-velocity-and-dt-solo-golf-balls.aspx).
As you can see, we are very committed to working closely with all golfers throughout the process.
Hope this helps shed some light and thanks again for the post.
I live within 20 minutes of the titleist testing facility how do we become a tester for your products?
You know guys if you ever needed an over seas tester to give feed back i would be more than happy to donate some of my golf time to testing hahahahaha. i know its a shamless plug.
Cheers to the titleist comunity
I can personally vouche for the fact that Titleist does select players from the widest aray in the game. I have been to Manchester Lane in Achusnet MA serval times to test clubs. Over the 5+ years I have been involved with Team Titleist I have to say I have had the pleasure of testing the 910 when it first came out. It was a very special day as we not only got an inside look at the Ball Plant where just about every ProV or ProV1 is made. We then were introduced to the Sure-Fit technology used to deploy in the metal woods. At the same time we where fitted for wedges. During that fitting I found the bounce I needed for my game. A few years later, the 913 had been seeded on tour, and a few of us were asked to come down and give it a try. After a great fitting session with Karen Gray (Best Fitter in the business, hands down) I was set up for my 913 D3 with a Graphite Design Shaft.
My best advice, stay connected, keep contributing, and enjoy your time in the community and you will be rewarded one way or another.
Hi Cathi! I would love an opportunity to test some Titliest equipment. I live in San Elijo Hills (San Marcos) and work in Carlsbad off Loker where one of your sites are located. Let me know if this is something that would be possible! Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi Christopher, Thanks!
I am going to IM you with some questions so we can get your name in the tester database.
Cathi - Is Mira Mesa considered close enough? I would love to do testing.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- The Kansas State Board of Education is moving from the Topeka building that has been its home for almost 50 years.
Education Commissioner Diane DeBacker said on the board's website the move to the Landon State Office Building is necessary because the lease on the current building is up for renewal, and the agency has outgrown its current space, The Lawrence Journal-World reported (http://bit.ly/1goje7T ).
"I've often referred to our space being so tight that we'd need to add 'bunk cubicles' if we hired anyone else," DeBacker said.
The board was established in 1966 when Kansas voters passed a constitutional amendment putting governance of the state's public school system under the elected State Board of Education. It was also the year the Department of Education moved into the Scott Building in downtown Topeka.
The department and its roughly 250 employees will begin moving in October into the Landon State Office Building, which is just east of the statehouse. The board's first meeting in the headquarters will be Nov. 12-13.

2009 Hall of Fame Induction Blog
Steve Light, the Hall of Fame's manager of museum programs, ran a live blog from the 2009 Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Cooperstown. Readers of his live banter had the ability to comment or ask questions.
11:00 a.m. Good morning everyone, and welcome to the National Baseball Hall of Fame's official live blog for the 2009 Induction Ceremony as we get ready to induct the Hall of Fame's newest members, Joe Gordon, Rickey Henderson, and Jim Rice. My name is Steve Light, and I am the manager of museum programs here at the Hall of Fame. Right now I'm sitting on "Radio Row" here at the Induction Site – The Clark Sports Center. I'll be bringing you live updates on the ceremony all afternoon, so stay tuned and send me your questions and comments.
The Induction Ceremony is just about two and a half hours away. Right now Hall of Fame staff and volunteers are busy wrapping up all the final preparations. Wondering about the forecast? Right now it's mostly cloudy and 75 degrees. We do have a threat of isolated thunderstorms this afternoon, but hopefully we'll stay dry for the ceremony.
11:10 a.m. The crowd has already started to build here. In fact, some fans set up chairs to stake out their spots yesterday morning. If you are in or near Cooperstown, don't forget that the ceremony is free and open to the public! If you can't get here, you can catch live coverage on the MLB Network beginning at 12:30. We will also stream the ceremony live on our website, www.baseballhall.org
11:16 a.m. Red Sox Nation has turned out in full force this weekend to celebrate Jim Rice. Catering to the crowd, the big screen next to the stage is playing highlights from the 2004 Red Sox season.
11:35 a.m. 51 Hall of Famers have turned out to welcome their three newest members this weekend. Of course, today is not just about Jim, Joe, and Rickey. We will also honor J.G. Taylor Spink Award winner Nick Peters, and Ford C. Frick Award winner Tony Kubek. Peters covered the San Francisco Giants for 47 years, 1961 – 2007. Kubek has worked as an analyst for NBC's Game of the Week, the Toronto Blue Jays, and the New York Yankees for 30 years. He is also the first exclusively television analyst to win the Frick Award.
11:36 a.m. [Comment From Kevin Brazee]
Do you know who will speak first Henderson or Rice?
11:36 a.m. Great question Kevin! The final order has not been decided yet, but Jim Rice will likely speak first.
11:53 a.m. We've had a great weekend here in Cooperstown already. On Friday our annual PLAY Ball! with Ozzie Smith event raised $10,000 for the Hall of Fame's Educational programs and gave some fans the opportunity of a lifetime to interact with Ozzie, Wade Boggs, Harmon Killebrew and Eddie Murray on Doubleday Field. Yesterday at the Clark Sports Center a crowd of over 750 people watched four families' compete against Dick Williams, Goose Gossage and Ryne Sandberg in our annual Connecting Generations, a Family Feud-like game show. Harold Reynolds served as the host.
11:56 p.m. The gates have opened in the seated sections and fans begin to stream to their seats as the excitement begins to build. Just about an hour and a half away.
12:04 p.m. Red Sox Nation isn't alone here in Cooperstown this weekend. The section 3 seats directly behind me are filled with Oakland Athletics' gear. Feel free to send any questions you might have about today's Induction Ceremony, and be sure to include where you are from!
12:17 p.m. Let's talk some stats now, starting with Rickey. Henderson is the 44th player elected on the first ballot. He received 94.8% of the vote from the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Henderson played in 10 All-Star games, won three silver sluggers, and was named the 1990 AL MVP. During his 25 year career he set career records for runs, stolen bases, and walks. The records for runs and stolen bases still stand. Rickey also holds the single season steals record, and led the league in steals a record 12 times.
12:22 p.m. Jim Rice was elected on his 15th year on the Baseball Writers ballot, receiving 76.4% of the vote. He joins two other famous Hall of Fame Red Sox leftfielders, Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski. In his 16-year major league career Rice was one of the most feared sluggers in the American League. He was an 8-time All-Star, led the league in home runs 3 times and won an AL MVP in 1978.
12:25 p.m. [Comment From C Itle]
I can't find the stream link. Could you please post it here?
12:26 p.m. The live stream will be posted on the Hall's website at 12:30 eastern time. Just visit www.baseballhall.org.
12:30 p.m. Nine-time All-Star Joe Gordon was elected on the pre-1943 Veterans Committee ballot. He received 10 of the 12 committee votes. Gordon was a member of five World Series winning teams, and won the 1942 Most Valuable Player Award. During his first six seasons, Gordon and the New York Yankees won five pennants and four World Series titles. He was traded to Cleveland in 1946, and helped lead the Indians to their World Series title in 1948, hitting 32 home runs and driving in 120 runs.
12:33 p.m. A lot of people are asking who is representing Joe Gordon here today. It will be Joe's daughter, Judy Gordon.
12:35 p.m. A note for all you fans out there who might be attending a major league game today: save your tickets! The Hall will grant free admission to all fans who present a ticket stub from a major league game bearing the date July 26, 2009. This opportunity is good right up until next year's Induction.
12:47 p.m. I'm getting some more questions about where to find the televised broadcast, so for those joining our live blog late, you can catch live coverage on the MLB Network (their broadcast has already started!) or you can stream them onto your computer via our website, www.baseballhall.org.
Casey is on stage warming up for his annual presentation of "Casey at the Bat". That surely means the start of the ceremony is getting closer.
12:55 p.m. With Joe Gordon, Rickey Henderson, and Tony Kubek all being honored today, it's no surprise that Yankees GM Brian Cashman has arrived and is in the audience for today's ceremony. Another notable name spotted in the audience: Keith Olberman.
Right now on the big screen, 2009 Steele Intern Daniel Sampson interviews MLB Network commentator and former major leaguer Harold Reynolds.
1:00 p.m. [Comment From Fitz – Boston]
Have you seen Freddie Lynn in the crowd? Any other Rice teammates?
1:00 p.m. Haven't seen Fred Lynn, Fitz. But Dwight Evans is in town.
1:05 p.m. Other former teammates expected today: Dave Henderson and Bob Montgomery for Rice and Dave Stewart for Henderson.
Casey is at the bat on the Induction Stage right now, 25 minutes to go!
1:11 p.m. Can't make it to Cooperstown today? How about tomorrow morning? We conclude our Hall of Fame Weekend festivities with our annual Legends Series event right here at the Clark Sports Center. Rickey and Jim will sit down for an interview to reflect on their experiences this weekend, which must have been a whirlwind for them. Tickets ($10) are still available by contacting the Hall of Fame's membership department.
1:17 p.m. Well if Brian Cashman is here for the Yankee Inductees, it shouldn't surprise you that the Red Sox's John Henry and Larry Lucchino are here to support Jim Rice (and of course Rickey Henderson, who played for the Red Sox as well).
1:24 p.m. Five minutes to go! Who do you think will get the biggest cheers as the Hall of Famers are announced?
1:30 p.m. The Hall of Famers are on the stage, we're just about ready to go.
1:30 p.m. And Rickey and Jim have just arrived on stage, to a great ovation from the crowd.
1:37 p.m. President Jeff Idelson and Chairman of the Board Jane Forbes Clark offer welcoming remarks. As Ms. Clark points out, 51 of the 65 living Hall of Famers are on stage today. Where else can you get such a collection of greats in one place at one time?
Now the MC of today's ceremony is introduced, George Grande. George begins the player introductions.
1:40 p.m. George did a great job having fun with fans and introducing the Hall of Famers during the Red Carpet Arrivals event at the Museum last night as they arrived for a private reception. If you are ever in Cooperstown for Hall of Fame Weekend that is definitely an event to check out.
1:47 p.m. [Comment From Shawn Anderson, Illinois]
Which Hall of Famer elicits the biggest hush when he enters the room? Meaning…who makes everyone stop what they are doing?
1:47 p.m. Great question Shawn! I can't speak for everyone, but for me I am in awe any time I see Willie Mays.
1:48 p.m. Biggest ovation yet? Yaz get's a prolonged standing O.
1:52 p.m. Juan Marichal is introduced. Juan was at the Hall of Fame earlier this year as we opened a brand new exhibit on baseball in the Caribbean called �Viva Baseball! If you haven't seen it make sure you come on out to Cooperstown!
Speaking of new exhibits, the Hall also has a brand new exhibit this year entitled Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream. Hank is introduced, and the fans deliver another loud ovation.
1:58 p.m. And now this year's Inductees are introduced, along with Judy Gordon on behalf of her father.
The Red Sox fans make their presence known as Jim Rice is introduced, while shouts of "Rickey" echo through the crowd as George Grande introduces "the greatest leadoff hitter of all time."
2:12 p.m. A bit of rain has moved in but it hasn't dampened any spirits. The ceremony is going to be moved along a bit however due to storms expected later this afternoon. After the invocation and national anthems, it's Joe Gordon's turn! Bud Selig reads the inscription on the plaque as Hall President Jeff Idelson presents it to the crowd.
2:12 p.m. Judy Gordon takes the podium.
2:16 p.m. Judy talks about how her father reached out to Larry Doby in his first ever day in the major leagues as he desegregated the American League. "This was not an isolated incident. This was how my dad lived his entire life." She then notes that today marks the 11th anniversary of Doby's Induction into the Hall of Fame.
2:19 p.m. Here's an interesting story about the 1948 season with the Cleveland Indians, in which Gordon hit 32 home runs. According to Judy, he received a case of Wheaties and a case of gum for every home run he hit. Judy Gordon: "As I remember, even the dog got more athletic eating the Wheaties."
2:24 p.m. A very touching moment and a loud standing ovation here as Judy Gordon concludes by indicating that her family considers Cooperstown and the National Baseball Hall of Fame as her father's final resting place where he will be remembered forever.
Next up: Jim Rice.
2:25 p.m. Anyone have any special memories about watching Rice play? Send them along!
2:28 p.m. Jane Forbes Clark welcomes Jim to the Hall of Fame family, and Bud Selig reads the inscription on his plaque as it is presented to the crowd. Later tonight, that plaque will join Gordon's and Henderson's as the Hall of Fame's curatorial staff will hang them with the other 286 in the Hall of Fame Gallery.
2:29 p.m. The crowd breaks out into a chant of "Let's Go Red Sox!"
2:36 p.m. Where was Jim when he received the call that he had been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame? Watching The Young and the Restless.
Jim thanks the Boston Red Sox, with whom he spent his entire major league career. Not only did he help lead them to the AL pennant in his rookie season, but from 1977-1979 he became the only player in big league history to record 35 home runs, 100 RBIs, and 200 hits for three consecutive seasons. One of those years, 1978, he hit 46 home runs and drove in 139 on his way to earning the AL MVP.
2:41 p.m. Another standing ovation for Rice as he concludes his speech, stating that he cannot think of a better place to be – with his fans and with the greatest living ballplayers.
Now, it's time for Rickey. The fans here have been waiting for this since the announcement in December.
2:46 p.m. The cap on Rickey's plaque? The A's of course. The inscription on his plaque begins "Faster than a speeding bullet…." As Selig reads off all nine of Rickey's team, a loud ovation from the crowd as the Red Sox are mentioned. Now: Rickey takes the podium.
2:47 p.m. Any special memories of watching Rickey play? Send them along!
2:51 p.m. Rickey says that he played so long (25 seasons!) because of his love for the game of baseball. Apparently his dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders, but his mother was afraid he would get hurt and told him to play baseball. As Rickey points out, mothers always know best.
2:53 p.m. Wondering who Rickey looked up to as a kid? Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Reggie Jackson. Three of them are up on the stage behind him today.
2:54 p.m. Rickey's nine teams ties him for second place among Hall of Famers with Goose Gossage and Hoyt Wilhelm. Anyone know who's first?
2:59 p.m. The answer to that previous question: Dan Brouthers.
Rickey's take on his nine teams – it was a great chance to meet fans all across the country. Henderson: "It is the fan who make the game fun. To the fans: Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all your support over the years."
3:01 p.m. Rickey closes his speech by stating how humbling it is to now be considered in a class of the greatest players of all time. He receives a prolonged ovation from the fans.
3:03 p.m. Don't go anywhere folks – we have plenty of ceremony left, and we haven't yet heard from Tony Kubek or Nick Peters! Now on the big screen – a video of Stan Musial (who could not be in attendance tonight) playing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" on his harmonica.
3:09 p.m. On the stage now we have George Grande and Billy Williams remembering 1969, as it is the 40th anniversary of that season. An incredible season perhaps best remembered for the Miracle Mets.
Billy Williams is the spokesman for the Hall of Fame's Membership Program. Billy thanks all Hall of Fame members out there for supporting the Hall and helping to keep baseball's history and tradition alive here in Cooperstown.
Now Don Sutton takes the podium to introduce this year's Ford C. Frick Award winner, Tony Kubek. Sutton points out that his first day as a broadcaster was spent sitting alongside Kubek.
3:15 p.m. Tony's turn. He points out Moose Skowron, his first road roommate, who is sitting just to the right of stage today.
Of course, Kubek played baseball himself, for nine seasons with the New York Yankees, making four All-Star games.
3:24 p.m. Tony speaks about how the game of baseball has pioneered so many of the changes in American culture, drawing particular attention to the racism and bigotry that Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron overcame during their playing careers, breaking down barriers in the process. This draws a loud ovation from the crowd.
As a member of the Hall's Education department, I'm glad to see Tony mention this. At the Hall we try to teach our visitors about how baseball has been at the forefront of many changes in American culture.
3:29 p.m. Kubek closes and Jane Forbes Clark returns to the podium to present the J.G. Taylor Spink Award winner, Nick Peters. Peters covered the Giants for 47 years, more years than any sports journalist in history. David O'Brien, President of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, comes to the podium to introduce Peters.
3:32 p.m. Here's a good Rice memory:
3:32 p.m. [Comment From Scott Downer]
I was at a game in Cleveland in 1979. I saw Rice his a pitch out of old Municipal Stadium that cleared the center field wall, I'm going to say 410. The ball never got over 20 feet off the ground. I've never seen a shot lie this one. It must have gotten out in two seconds. Just a blast.
3:37 p.m. Nick Peters talks about listening to Red Sox games on the radio on Sunday drives with the family. His idol? Ted Williams naturally. Peters then recalls how he learned how to do math through computing batting averages and other statistics. Sounds kind of like the Batter Up math unit that the Hall of Fame uses to teach kids across the country using video-conferencing technology
3:42 p.m. Nick Peter's closes by pointing out that he was able to do something he loved without every having to go too far from home or looking for another job. While he laments that the Giants never won a World Series in his 47 years covering them, he also points out that the A's won 4 of the 6 they played in during that span.
With that, the ceremony concludes! The rain held off. One last round of applause for the class of 2009.
3:48 p.m. So don't forget to get the 2009 Hall of Fame Weekend on your calendar now, the last weekend in July as always!
It's never too early to start thinking ahead to next year. On this year's ballot, Andre Dawson received 67% of the vote, with Bert Blyleven receiving 62.7%, and Roberto Alomar will be on the ballot for the first time.
3:50 p.m. The weekend isn't over yet, as Jim Rice and Rickey Henderson will be back here tomorrow for a special Legends Series interview on the Induction Stage.
I think it's about time for me to sign off. But before I do I'd like to thank you all for joining me this afternoon, and hope you enjoyed the coverage! Don't forget to log onto www.baseballhall.org for more coverage of Hall of Fame Weekend 2009!

In my opinion you commit an error. I suggest it to discuss. Write to
me in PM, we will communicate.
Not sure if this is the appropriate place to comment, but here goes. I wonder where Jim Kaat and Tommy John rest with the Old Timers Committee. These two men have far outdistanced others in the Hall, which I don't even care for that kind of support ( sometimes its hard not to bring up). I know the times change, but I saw these two play, and they brought a fierce competitiveness every time out.These men played major league baseball for 24 and 26 years respectively. Both have over 280 wins and 2200 strikeouts. Kaat not so flashy, but they both have earned their place. Kaat earned like 16 Gold gloves- thats got to be some kind of record.How can they have been overlooked for so long? Where is that magical line to avoid another Ron Santo story ?

Djokovic survives Wawrinka epic to keep Melbourne hat-trick alive
(CNN) — Few people like Monday mornings and for world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, his latest in Melbourne very nearly signalled the end of his quest to win a third consecutive Australian Open title.
The Serbian survived an epic fourth round encounter with Stanislas Wawrinka that stretched beyond 1.30am local time, eventually wrapping up a monumental 1-6 7-5 6-4 6-7 12-10 victory.
Djokovic ripped his shirt off to celebrate a triumph that had looked in serious doubt for nearly five exhausting hours, while his Swiss opponent departed from the court on the verge of tears.
It keeps alive the 25-year-old's hopes of becoming the first man in the Open era post 1968 to record a successive hat-trick of titles in Melbourne, in a match that had echoes of his 2012 final win over Rafael Nadal.
"It's hard to find the words," a drained Djokovic said in an on court interview. "He deserved, equally, to be a winner of this match. I give him a lot of credit and respect.
"He was the aggressive player on the court, I was just trying to hang in there. It's midway through the tournament but it feels like a final to me. This means a lot to me, and to him.
"Incredible that so many people stayed until nearly two in the morning. It brings back the memories of 12 months ago with Rafa."
Wawrinka gave notice of his intent by wrapping up the first set 6-1 in just 25 minutes before normal order was resumed as Djokovic regained his composure to push into a 2-1 lead.
But Wawrinka battled hard and ensured a deciding set when he took his third set point as the fourth went into a tiebreak. After swapping breaks early in the fifth set, both men repeatedly retained their serve as the epic match pushed into the early hours of Monday morning.
Djokovic held to move into an 11-10 lead and then carved out two match points in the 22nd game of the decider. Wawrinka saved two but it proved third time lucky for Djokovic as his passing shot ended the match in front of an exhilarated crowd.
Djokovic will now face Tomas Berdych in the quarterfinal after the Czech fifth seed coolly disposed of South African Kevin Anderson 6-3 6-2 7-6.
Elsewhere, Spain's fourth seed David Ferrer cruised past Japan's No. 17 seed Kei Nishikori with a 6-1 6-2 6-4 win to set up a clash with fellow countryman Nicolas Almagro. He progressed after opponent Janko Tipsarevic retired in the second set.
In the women's draw, second seed Maria Sharapova relinquished just one game as she raced to an emphatic 6-1 6-0 victory over unseeded Belgian Kirsten Flipkens.
The Russian has dropped just five games in her four matches in Melbourne -- an Australian Open record -- and says she is loving her tennis at the start of the 2013 season.
"I love competing," she said. "There's nothing in the world that gives you that adrenalin feel, just being in the moment of a match. There's nothing that I've done in my life that has given me that experience.
"It takes a lot to get to that moment, a feeling, whether it's pressure or nerves, excitement, it's a combination of those things, but that feeling, and getting through it and winning, beating your opponent, as an athlete."
Sharapova wrapped up the second set in just 25 minutes to set up an all-Russian quarterfinal against Ekaterina Makarova, the No. 19 seed, who knocked out fifth seed Angelique Kerber 7-5 6-4.
Kerber, from Germany, suffered with a back injury during the match helping Makarova to reach the last eight for the second time in succession in Melbourne.
Fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska, from Poland, defeated 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic, from Serbia, 6-2 6-4. She will now face China's Li Na in the last eight after the 2011 French Open champion beat German 18th seed Julia Goerges 7-6 6-1.

quote:What if it's a complete mind frick and ends up being someone like Nora?
quote:How would this work? The show is about how he met his wife. If he has already met or dated the mother, the show would be over. Although it could very well be a character that has been talked about or has been introduced that he has yet to meet.
quote:we didn't really meet, like slutty pumpkin
quote:Well they keep putting him back with women he has already dated. It's very possible that it's one he dated and they weren't right for each other at that time. I think this is most likely scenario because the audience will want to feel some connection with the mother after waiting 7 years. The only alternative is to have him meet her in the middle of a season and end the series with their wedding.

2012 was...
I will never forget this year, with few days that come to my mind quickly and give me a big smile, in Tahiti during the Julbo swell session, at Teahupoo, in mauritius, In brittany, one in New Zealand, in the most fabulous place called Milford Sound, you will discover it in the next Make my day episode (end of January) and for sure some meeting, landscapes, moments…
Make my day 5 Mauritius / One Eye
Lost in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is a paradise for all the beach lovers.
In the South East, there is a wave called "One Eye", people are coming from all around the world to kite surf here, but most of them don't know the legend behind…
And it's time to go!
After 3 months of traveling thru Brittany for the episode Make My Day, you can watch it here, it's time to pack and hit the road.
For the program three months on the road, the Indian Ocean, Japan, then Tahiti. And it will be the episodes 5, 6 and 7 of the web episode Make my day. kiteboarding, meetings adventure will be as always exciting.
In my Boardbag, new North kite Rebel 2013, the new Wam 5'10, and video gear, rails, cranes, boxes, steadycam …. for sure i will be overweight, and i will spend time to negotiate at the airport.
Do not forget that there is a trip to Tahiti to win, Julbo has put together the journey of my dreams: Imagine two weeks in Tahiti on a boat, with cameraman and photographer … just make a one-minute video, but be moose, the value of the prize is 6000 euros , so take time to think, and leave us another thing: "I want to go to Tahiti"
And there's stuff to win a board Whip North Kiteboarding, a pair of Julbo sunglasses, a mood ring, on the competition Make my Day is here
