We started our last day of the CONTACT program in Rwanda with a very interactive visit at Radio LaBene-Valencija where we met with writers, support staff and administrators of the station. The station uses soap opera programming as a tool for learning and to promote positive change in Rwanda today. Radio Valencia was founded by CEO George Weiss and also has stations in Burundi, DRC and the Nertherlands with furture plans for South Sudan.
Eighty five percent of Rwanda's population follows the soap opera that sensitizes people towards the origins of violence and how to resolve conflict peacefully. In addition to the radio program, the project sends grassroots coordinators from districts to the smallest villages for dialogue to identify the messages that the soap opera should convey. The scripts are reviewed by an academic team (including our SIT coordinator, Adin Thayer). There are a few cycles of changes and then the program is recorded, edited and aired.
The soap opera is so popular that when the fictional couple from the two conflicted villages in the story are to be married, the nation wanted to attend the wedding. The station could not find a stadium big enough to hold the wedding for the public, so in lieu of actually creating a wedding day, the programmers asked Rwandans to dress up for the day and confront a person with whom they have conflict and resolve!
Next we visited The Rebecca Davis Dance Company, an organization under UNESCO, that offers therapy through dance to orphaned, street children in Kigali. Rebeccca was a Carl Wilkens Fellow and I had met her doing my work with that program.
She was not in Rwanda at the time but arranged for us to meet with the program director, Eugene Dushime, and we watched the kids rehearse their leaping, spinning and sliding to the fun beat of African music.
This was one of the most emotional moments of the entire week for me and I could see my classmates cheering with teary eyes as well.
There is nothing like seeing healing through art in action! We then joined the kids in dance, shared chocolate and high fives. What a fantastic way to end the week!
After a wonderful party and closing at Eduard's home in Kigali, I met up with Cory again and we left to catch the flight to Uganda. Here we met Gabriel Bol Deng and had the chance, after a year, to see his nieces and nephews again in Kampala.
Aluel, Adual, Deng and Akook had been students for the past 4 years in primary school in Uganda.
It was incredible to see their progress since last year. They shared their grades with us and we could see their pride and appreciation for their education.
Akook, the oldest, had just graduated from Primary school and went back to the village in South Sudan for 3 months. We were there for his return to Uganda and we talked about his time in the village.
We stopped by my friend Garang's home to meet his wife and new child, Wol. This child of 10 months has the longest legs and hugest smile I have ever seen!
Then we took everyone out for a visit to the zoo, Lake Victoria and shopping for school clothes to get them ready for the next semester.
Heading home to the US, I am exhausted but so fulfilled.
I have learned so much from the people of Rwanda and my classmates from around the world. I thank my family at home for understanding and supporting my coursework, my trip, these kids and my desire to see them and learn about the history of African countries. I know they also would be inspired by seeing how the children have advanced here in Uganda. The kids sent letters back to the rest of my family, hoping and praying to meet all of them next time!
Driving 2 hours south of Kigali to the lush, green city of Butare you can see the country rebuilding at every turn. Deep in the rolling hills and thick cover of pines trees was Save village in the Huye district where we went to witness a comprehensive reconciliation project.
After the genocide, Rwanda's prisons were overcrowded and the cases were far too many for the court system to handle. Stemming from ancient customs of problem solving, the Gacaca trial process was established after the genocide to try thousands of accused in the country through the use of village run trials. Gacaca judges were chosen by the villagers based on their honesty and integrity.
This complex process was not perfect but helped to resolve many cases, but true reconciliation did not come from the sentences, but from "real", heartfelt confessions. Perpetrators confessed to survivors and survivor families decided if they felt the apologies were sincere and from the heart in front of Gacaca judges, who would then pass down sentences of prison or community service.
In this village we met some Gacaca judges who were responsible for many cases as well as ex-combatants, former prisoners and survivors. They all held the common belief that if they could not reconcile what had happened with themselves, they could not reconcile with each other. Since Hutu and Tutsi shared community, neighborhoods and families, they had to learn to forgive and live together as Rwandans.
After an in depth discussion with many questions, we lightened the mood with some time with the kids (who doesn't love painting ap on the ipad?), and a stop for ice cream ….(may I take a moment to thank god for ice cream? It can really lift the spirt!) at a little shop opened by a group of female Rwandan drummers. Then we stopped at Rwanda's national Museum for a bit of ancient Rwandan history.
Although this was a few days ago, I wanted to lighten up the post to share info about this fabulous Rwandan artist Cory and I had visited. The wonderful art studio of Emmanuel Knuranga boasts many paintings where african fabrics and influences are woven throughout mixed medium, vibrant and textural work.
Emmanuel's complex and exuberant palette is eye candy as soon as you walk into his studio courtyard. It was a treat to meet Emmanuel and watch some of the artists at work. It has me longing to get back to the art studio….
Maybe even throw some of my empty cans onto the wall and see where they land!
A crazy note…Emmanuel had just exhibited in at the Southport Gallery in Southport, Ct ten minutes from my house…..but I had to come all the way to Rwanda to see him!
It's been only 19 years since the genocide in Rwanda and the country continues to work on healing and rebuilding in many ways. Men who grew up during the genocide, when rape and violence towards women was the norm, now need help in understanding the consequences of those events on their lives.
This morning we met with a representative from Rwanda's Men's Resource Center, an organization focused on mobilizing men as participants in the process of supporting women and the challenges men face in the changing gender roles in Rwanda today. RWAMREC offers progressive training for men to help understand the importance of partnering and supporting women. The primary focus in Rwanda after the genocide has been on women and the environment often leaving men who have been greatly affected to misunderstand the consequences of what they experienced. The goal of RWAMREC is work with men to help promote positive masculine behavior and socialization towards women. There is a long way to go in this effort but we were inspired by theses steps toward progress.
We then met with MEMOS, an organization founded by Issa Higiro, that brings genocide survivors together with those who rescued them. We heard moving stories from both the survivors and the heroes that risked their lives to hide them until liberation, knowing that if caught, they would be killed. The fearless people who put their lives on the line to save many greatly humbled all of us. We asked many questions of our guests and then showed our respect and admiration through Rwandan Dance and Song.
The day ended with a documentary film by our classmate, award winning filmmaker and actor Edouard Bamporiki at his home in Kigali (He's pictured here with his beautiful wife, Claudine). The subjects from the film who were Tutsi survivors and Hutu who witnessed the genocide then spoke to us from the heart about their experiences of pain, shame and forgiveness. They were incredible teachers of dignity and perseverance and restored my faith in humanity.
"In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart…" Anne Frank
Last night friends from around the world reunited in Kigali, Rwanda to begin our week long program of learning and reflection. From our summer in Brattleboro, Vermont to the hills of Rwanda, students from Nigeria, Palestine, Sudan, Uganda, Congo, Afghanistan, India and US came together once again to study peace and reconcilliation. It seemed like a miracle, envisioning the planes flying from many continents to this small country in East Africa to bring us back together.
We began the program with a presentation by Suzanne Ruboneka, Director of the Peace Action Campaign for ProFemmes, an umbrella organization that coordinates a wide range of over 58 NGO's run by and for women in Rwanda.
It was clear from listening to Suzanne that every Rwandan could write a book about his or her story during the genocide. After the tragic events of 1994 the country was 70% women. Many were displaced, had been raped and contracted aids, and most were widows. They had many different political affiliations and did not trust one another. Women had the need to develop their own programs to show their strength and build unity amongst themselves. Profemme began work to help organizations for women develop and through their efforts advocated to change all laws of discrimination to women in Rwanda as well as reach the rural communities and lift women into positions of empowerment through microfinancing.
ProFemme mobilized women to vote and was instrumental in the development of Rwanda's quota of 30% representation of women in decision-making positions in government. Although the quote is 30% women actually hold 56% of the seats in parliament! Today Rwanda's President of Parliament, Vice President of Senate, Minister of Justice, Health and Foreign Affiars are all women.
Above, our SIT Director, Adin Thayer, presents Suzanne with a canvas shopping bag as a gift. There are no plastic bags allowed into the country for Rwanda.
The afternoon was more sombering as we entered Rwanda's Genocide Memorial Museum. Pictured above is one of the "Windows of Hope" in the museum by artist Adryn Halter, whose father was a holocaust survivor of Auschwitz. We each walked the museum at our own pace for 2 hours. The only sound I heard was the tears of my good friends. There are no words to describe the heaviness felt after this visit. Many thoughts and emotions were expressed during our peace circle practice that followed. An excercise where we all learned the importance of speaking and listening from the heart and the practice of bearing witness to things as they are "including all forms of joy and suffering in the world".
Our Coordinator Issa did a wonderful job facilitating our group through this process and left us wuith a wonderful quote….
"Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty"- Albert Einstein
On a more uplifitng note… we ended the night with a fantastic dinner at the home of our SIT coordinator from last summer, Jessee Rouette and his wife, Emily who are living in Rwanda for 2 years with their adorable 2 year old son. I had my fill of cuteness playing with him and kept him occupied sorting bottle caps. Did you know that a can of bottle caps can be used to teach colors, help with counting, transform into instruments and get a child dancing? Thats what I love about Africa. We seem to find ways to entertain and interact that we may never have engaged in at home.
Waking up to the melliflous sounds of birds singing and the beauty of the sun shining over surrounding mountains, one would have a hard time remembering the genocide that brutalized this country 20 years ago. Rwanda, the size of Massachusetts, lost one million Tutsis and moderate Hutus in the span of 100 days in the most brutal government run killings known to history.
But the scars are so deep now that they can barely be seen, sitting here looking out at the banana fields and hearing the laughter of children in the street. It is hard to believe that a few hundred kilometers away ,war rages in the conflict mining zones of The Democratic Republic of Congo and many seemingly peaceful countries contribute to that violence. My week here with SIT will be to remember the loss and learn about work Rwanda has done to heal, reconcile and rebuild. I also hope to gain a better understanding of the conflicts in neighboring countries that could affect the future here.
"The dead of Rwanda accumulated in nearly three times the rate of the Jewish dead during the Holocaust. It was the most efficient mass killings since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki" US journalist Philip Gourevitch, author of We wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families: Stories From Rwanda"
Now a stable country with a growing economy, Rwanda feels at the moment like a tropical vacation sitting here in my friends Cory and Matt Melaugh screened in home in the beautiful village of Rwinkavu. Cory, a nurse at Mass General Hospital in Boston, MA, has a one year position as a nurse in the local hospital here and Matt is the supervisor in a library built under by Ready for Reading, anorganizationunder Partners in Health started by Betsy Dicky of Greenwich, CT
I was not sure If I could believe Cory's advice that I did not need to travel with the same full pharmacy in my suitcase and survival gear as our trip deep into South Sudan last year. This, she said, will be a much different experience. I arrived to the paved roads and lit up city of Kigali and the drive to Rwinkavu was smooth and comfortable. Hey, I might even be able to return the nausea bands and other remedies I rushed to get before taking off!
Before leaving for Rwanda Betsy and I loaded a suitcase with over 80 pounds of donations for the library. Printer cartridges, dry erase markers and dress clothes. I prayed the whole way here that the small photo printer I packed would make the journey. Matt and I planned a project to help the children have a better undertstanding of their own importance in the world through learning about their image. We hoped to take photos of the children in the library so they could see themselves and make their own portraits.
The library staff occupied the children as we prepared for the exuberant participants.
Six hours, ten groups and 220 photos later……
everyone had gone home with a self portrait, photo and a smile!
A huge thank you to Matt's brother, Brad for orchestrating the photos of the children and printing all of them at the slow pace of 50 seconds a photo!
Ok. I know it's been a long time since I have posted a new blog. I can only say that I have been preoccupied with many great things. My daughter's graduation from High School for one, and all the wonderful celebrations that come along with that momentous time in life…
and a wonderful project uniting the artist community to raise awareness for Sudan's women.
The paintings coming in for The Sudan Canvas Project have been moving and inspiring. Artists who might not have otherwise known about decades of atrocities in Sudan are now researching and becoming inspired to paint.
This creation of art by Cleta Grant of San Francisco is called "Icon I". It's combination of silk, linen, organza and burlap on stark black background brings to life the tents of the displaced persons camp through use of texture. A hiding, emotionless face tells the viewer about the hopelessness of war.
Artist Linda Francis of Westport, Ct paints the women of Darfur. Although dressed in the colorful Sudanese drapery, the expressions on faces of her women and the supportive hand of one woman on anothers shoulder strongly depicts the arduous task of waiting for food in the displaced persons camps.
More and more paintings are being submitted. Some are celebratory as South Sudan, after decades of war and marginalization, celebrated freedom of their new sovereign nation on July 9.
Locally, we celebrated as well for the people of Sudan. Friends and neighbors gatheed in the art studio to create signs in preparation for a small rally of peace at Trumbull's Town Hall.
Although it was a day of celebration here in in Juba, South Sudan, many are also saying strong prayers for peace.
South Sudan's significant resources have triggered a border war in the disputed area of Abyei perpetrated by the Islamist regime in Khartoum. A regime headed by Gen. Omar al-Bashir who has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for perpetrating genocide in Darfur. A recent Abyei border agreement between North and South Sudan signed in June is tenuous. More than150,000 refugees fled to the South from Abyei displaced by raids of Northern forces in May. Because of recent border conflicts between Sudan and the new Republic of South Sudan.
South Sudan's hard fought freedom is a credit to the US brokered Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005 that laid the basis for secession from Sudan. The citizens of South Sudan voted overwhelmingly (99 %) in the January, 2011 internationally supervised Referendum for Independence. *
Although attendance was light (12 noon on a gorgeous summer Saturday), these wonderful activists came out to support. We had a special guest at our Rally, My friend Evelyne Mukansongk, a Rwandan Genocide survivor, who spoke about the importance of hope and the power of forgiveness.
I hope to be writing more about Evelyne soon. You will absolutely love to meet this charming, insprirational woman.

MLB Division Series Set, Predictions Included
The 2012 Major League Baseball postseason got underway Friday as the new Wild Card round made its debut. Both 2nd Wild Card winners rose to the occasion, as the defending champion Cardinals defeated the Braves in Atlanta among some umpire controversy and the Orioles took care of business in Texas against the 2-time defending AL Champion Rangers. The second chapter of the postseason gets underway Saturday evening as the Oakland Athletics head into Detroit to take on the Tigers, while the San Francisco Giants host the Cincinnati Reds. All eight remaining teams will be in action Sunday, as the Cardinals continue the quest to defend their title against the Washington Nationals, who boasted the best record in baseball. Meanwhile the Yankees will take on division rival Baltimore in a playoff series for the first time since 1997.
MLB Power Rankings: Pennant Chase Edition
As September arrives so does pennant race baseball. With just over one month to play, 15 of the 30 major league clubs are within 2.5 games of a playoff spot. We are setting up for a September to remember prior to the upcoming glory of October baseball.
2012 MLB Power Rankings – September Pennant Chase Edition:
Looking like a lock for playoff baseball:
1.) Washington Nationals – (80-52) During the course of the 2012 season the Nats have been among baseballs best and most consistent squads. The lineup is loaded with very good players and the pitching staff has more depth than the average fan realizes. The big question remains: Can they win a title if they shutdown Stephen Strasburg? I still wouldn't count them out.
2.) Cincinnati Reds – (81-53) Talk about a team with very few weaknesses. The Reds remain the only team in baseball that has kept their rotation in tact. A solid rotation, along with a potentially lethal bullpen in October could spell trouble for opponents as the season moves along. The funny thing is I'm just mentioning the offense which the Reds are best known for. A healthy Joey Votto will only add to the dynamic lineup that includes solid veterans and upcoming rookies.
3.) Texas Rangers – (78-54) The solid core from the past two American League Championships remain in Hamilton, Cruz, Andrus, Young Kinsler and Beltre. The questions this year will be whether or not the pitching staff can provide enough. The bullpen looks sharp but season ending injuries to Colby Lewis and Neftali Feliz could potentially spell trouble.
Who will reach the 2012 MLB Playoffs?
The 2012 MLB trading deadline is only a little over one week away. As the regular season heads towards it final two months the time has come for teams to determine if they are going to buy, sell or stand pat.
What is the best way to determine what team are in a good position for a postseason run and what teams should look towards 2013?
Your answer is:
coolstandings.com provides an updated percentage chances of reaching the postseason for each team in the majors. Click here to read about how it works.
2012 MLB All Star Snub Team
C – A.J. Pierzynski, Chicago White Sox (.286 avg, 16 hrs, 49 rbis)
The backstop for the squad has had a solid year on the South Side. Pierzynski has the most home runs and runs batted in of any catcher in the game this season. He also calls great games for a very good pitching staff.
1B- Adam LaRoche, Washington Nationals (.252 avg, 15 hrs, 53 rbi's)
After bouncing around the last few years, LaRoche has found a home in D.C. He is tied for fourth in rbi's and 3rd in home runs at his position and has played a very good defensive first base. His offensive production is part of the reason the Nationals will be leading the NL East at the break.
Thoughts from around the Majors
We're just over a month into the major league season and there are already plenty of story-lines unfolding. We should be in for fun-filled summer followed by an exciting September. Things can change quickly as a season progresses, these are my thoughts on the 2012 season keeping in mind its early May.
American League East:
Orioles – Pitching has been sensational, specifically the bullpen. Matt Wieters has been a force both offensively and behind the plate calling games. Chris Davis is having a nice bounce back year offensively, winning games after pitching the 16th & 17th innings is a bonus.
Rays – The franchise continues to excel despite a low-budget and limited fan support. Andrew Friedman is among the leagues best GM's as he pieces together veteran pickups around excellent young talent.

Double Recap of the Nationals series
Editors' Note: I went to the game Saturday so I didn't get to chance to recap the game
Roy Oswalt was outstanding, throwing eight shut out innings and striking out nine, picking up the win over the Washington Nationals 5-0 on Saturday. One of the best things to see was Oswalt reaching 94 on his fastball several times and constantly reaching 91-93 on the gun. Wilson Valdez starting the scoring with a two run triple in the fourth inning. Hunter Pence would add a solo home run and Jimmy Rollins added a RBI single. Six of the Phillies' nine hits came from the 5th-8th spot in the batting order. 44,658 was the attendance which was the biggest crowd in Nationals Park history. No, there was no rain delay. Yes, the Nationals did give away Ian Desmond bobble heads.
For the second time in three games, the Phillies and Nationals sat through a rain delay. Before the rain delay, the Nationals got the scoring started off of Roy Halladay in the first inning. A Ryan Zimmerman sac fly and Danny Espinosa RBI single made it 2-0 Nats. Carlos Ruiz would quickly tie it up in the next half inning with a two run home run. Chase Utley hit his first home run in 75 at bats with a solo home run in the third inning. In the bottom of that inning, Jimmy Rollins pulled his right groin. He will go for an MRI on Monday. The rain came in the top of the sixth inning. Both starting pitchers, Roy Halladay and Chein-Ming Wang left after the delay. Phillies' reliever Michael Schwimer made his major league debut in the bottom of the sixth inning. Of course, Danny Espinosa greeted him with a solo home run to tie the game. In the ninth inning of a tie game, Michael Martinez gave the Phillies the lead again with a one out RBI single. Antonio Bastardo tried to pick up ninth save of the season. With the Nationals down to their final out, Ian Desmond tied the game again on a solo home run. It was Bastardo's first blown save of the season. After the Phillies went scoreless in the 10th inning, Brad Lidge came in to try and keep the Nats off the board. Ryan Zimmerman led off the inning with a double. Michael Morse was intentionally walked and then Jayson Werth singled to left. Danny Espinosa struck out and Lidge was a third of the way out of the jam. Unfortunately, Lidge hit Jonny Gomes with a pitch forcing in Zimmerman and thus ending the game.
Notes from both games:
-The traffic on 95 getting to the game was ridiculous.
- During the game, a praying mantis was in our section, I couldn't stop staring at it.
-The Phillies clinched at least a .500 record on August 20th
-Really sucks Halladay couldn't go back out because of the rain.
-I'm not going to get mad about Bastardo, dude has been lights out.
- Schwimer was really good after giving up the home run. He struck out four in three innings.
-I can't trust Lidge at all.
-The Natinals, I mean Nationals have Chien-Ming Wang jerseys on display in the team store.
Zimmerman plays hero, hits walk-off Grand Slam
Every little kid dreams of it…3-2 count, 2 out, down a run, game on the line. Ryan Zimmerman lived it and came through in a big way. Zimmerman hit a walk-off grand slam with two out in the ninth inning to complete a furious comeback win 8-4. Ryan Madson reaaaaaaaally struggled, going 2/3s of an inning, giving up five hits, and six runs to take the loss. Todd Coffey pitched a scoreless ninth inning to pick up the win. The game had a 2 hour and 22 minute rain delay in the first inning. Roy Oswalt was suppose to start the game, but Kyle Kendrick took his place because the Phillies didn't want to risk injury with Oswalt's back. He will start Saturday's game now against John Lannan of the Nationals in a rematch of last Saturday's game at Citizens Bank Park. The Braves defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier tonight which pushed the Phillies' NL East lead back down to 7.5 games.
With it raining cats and dogs in the Philadelphia region, many wondered if tonight's game in Washington would start on time. It did start on time, but didn't last very long. Four batters into the game it began to rain, starting a long delay. An interesting situation started when the grounds crew started to take the tarp off. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel came on the field and walked towards right field, checking the grass. It seemed as if the Phillies were trying to postpone the game, but the umpires made the game start after the 2 hour and 22 minute delay. Livan Hernandez, the Nationals' original starter, remained in the game. The Phillies did all their scoring in the third inning. Jimmy Rollins started it with a one out double. John Mayberry followed with a triple that was misplayed by Nationals' left fielder Johnny Gomes that allowed Rollins to score. The next batter, Chase Utley would double home Mayberry. A Ryan Howard RBI single would come next. Three batters later, Carlos Ruiz would hit an opposite field single to score Howard with two out. Even Wilson Valdez got in to the mix with a single, but Raul Ibanez was thrown out at the plate to end the inning. Ian Desmond got the Nationals on the board with an RBI double in the bottom of the third. Wilson Ramos would make it a 4-2 game in the 5th inning on a solo home run. A Carlos Ruiz double in the sixth inning would be the only Phillies hit besides the third inning. The next batter, Wilson Valdez hit a line drive to Desmond who doubled off Ruiz at second base. I'm not going to go over the entire ninth inning…just watch this. That sums up what happened to Ryan Madson. He got unlucky, but ultimately gave up the walk off to Zimmerman.
-Tough loss, it happens. Easy to get over when you're 80-43.
-Ryan Zimmerman is an incredible player, but why does he throw like a weirdo?
-Again, solid outing out of Kendrick
-Very selfishly happy that I get to Oswalt and not Kendrick.
- I was kind of hoping that I'd get to see a doubleheader tomorrow.
-I'm happy they got to Livan, but two base runners after the third inning is awful.
- If you rip Ryan Madson after this game, you're an idiot. He's been incredible the entire year, it's just one bad game in otherwise a great season for him.
Phillies continue home stand with trip to Washington
Since the last time we saw the Nationals, they took two out of three from the Reds in Cincinnati. The Nationals are actually one game worse record wise than the Reds which is crazy considering the Reds were a few defensive mishaps from being tied at 1 in the 2010 NLDS against the Phillies. The Phillies are coming off taking two out of three from Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dbacks came in on a six game winning streak and have the third best record in the National League since the All-Star break. Since DC fans only believe in the Capitals at the given moment, Nationals Park often becomes CBP South for Phillies fans. (Thus explaining the headline) Two great memories took place for Phillies fans in CBP South which were 2010 Opening Day when 40,000 Phillies fans booed the Nationals on their own field and the 2010 NL East was clinched on a rainy night last September.
Game 1- Livan Hernandez (7-11, 4.21ERA) vs. Roy Oswalt (5-7, 3.84 ERA). Livan was fantastic last Friday vs. the Phillies. He pitched into the seventh inning and allowed one unearned run. He even knocked in two runs on his own. Hernandez is either really good or gets bombed. He doesn't throw very hard, topping out around 85 MPH, but throws up slow, slower, and even slower off-speed pitches. At times, he befuddles hitters, other times, hitters make him look very AAAish. The Phillies are hitting .300 against Livan as a team with Ryan Howard, Hunter Pence, Raul Ibanez, and John Mayberry posting an OPS north of .900 against him. Roy Oswalt was much more efficient in his second start since coming off the DL. Last Saturday, Oswalt pitched seven innings, giving up three runs, six hits on 96 pitches. It was Oswalt's first win since June 12th against the Cubs. His career record against the Nationals is 6-4. Laynce Nix is 11 for 23 against Roy while Ryan Zimmerman is 7 fo 20 lifetime against Oswalt.
Game 2-John Lannan (8-8, 3.55 ERA) vs. Kyle Kendrick (7-5, 3.25 ERA) Lannan made one of the plays of the year when he flipped a ball to force out Ryan Howard at home in his last start. That was about all that went right for him that night. Lannan gave up seven runs in three innings, but only one of them was earned. His career record dropped to 1-11 against the Phillies. As one would expect with a 1-11 lifetime record, the Phillies have five players that post an OPS over .900 against John Lannan. Kyle Kendrick makes the start instead of Cole Hamels. Hamels complained of shoulder stiffness in his last start and will be skipped once. His MRI came back with no significant damage. Kendrick's last relief appearance came on Friday when he pitched three innings after Hamels struggled in his outing. Kendrick's ERA is 6.36 against the Nationals.
Game 3- Chien-Ming Wang (2-2, 4.22 ERA) vs. Roy Halladay (15-4, 2.51 ERA) This will be Wang's fifth start since recovering from his shoulder surgery. Wang has only struck out three hitters in 21 1/3 innings of work which makes Kyle Kendrick look like Nolan Ryan. Safe to safe, his hard sinker is a thing of the past. Halladay was scheduled to start against the Nationals in the last series before Mother Nature said no. On Tuesday, Doc was incredible for eight innings against the Diamondbacks before giving up his first lead in the ninth inning since 2007. He finished with fourteen strikeouts and his third complete game loss of the season. He's 11-1 in his career vs. the Nationals.

Your waist to hip ratio is one of the predictors of risk for heart disease.
So what does your shape say about you?
A waist to hip ratio of more than 0.95 for men and 0.85 for women may mean you're more likely to get heart disease and should be extra careful with your diet and lifestyle.
It's all related to the distribution of fat in the body. 'Apple' shaped people tend to store fat around their abdomen and are more likely to have health-related risks than people who are 'pear' shaped.
Check if you may be at more risk of heart disease using our waist to hip ratio calculator.
Enter your details below to check your Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR).
Fill in your details so we can work out your waist-hip ratio.
Your WHR is
While standing relaxed, measure the smallest area around your waist.The smallest area is usually around the navel or belly button. After measuring, enter the number in the box labeled 'waist'.
Measure the largest area around your hips. The largest area is usually around your buttocks. After measuring, enter the number in the box labeled 'hip'. *Caution: Do not pull the measuring tape tight around your waist or hips.

Prepare for the Lean Certification Bronze-level exam using topics reviewed by authorized lean facilitators. The course uses a combination of concept presentations, practice exams, worksheets development and discussion, and group question review to give you the best chance to pass your exam.
The Lean Bronze Certification Review Program is an opportunity to incorporate a solid foundation of training and validation of knowledge and experience for your lean journey.
Sponsored by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), Association for Manufacturing Engineers (AME), The Shingo Prize for Operational Excellence, and ASQ, Lean Certification standardizes practices within organizations, regardless of size or industry.
This focused, two-day, instructor-led review session prepares candidates for the Lean Certification Bronze-level exam. A combination of concept presentations, practice exams, worksheets development and discussion, and group question review is highlighted. Topics covered in the exam are reviewed by authorized lean facilitators to help prepare you to take the Bronze-level Lean Certification exam.
Interactive groups review tactical lean principles in order to share ideas and solidify knowledge about key lean concepts. In addition, you will gain a better understanding of the portfolio requirements for the Bronze level. The result is participants who are better prepared and more focused, who know what they need to have in order to succeed at sitting for the Lean Bronze Certification exam.
Targeted at companies on lean journeys, and to lean champions and practitioners charged with facilitating those lean transformations, this event is appropriate whether you are preparing for a certification or are just looking to see how your knowledge stacks up to the certification's knowledge standard.
Individuals looking to achieve their Lean Certification should attend this training. This course is specific to studying and preparing for the Bronze-level certification exam.
Study materials for the review are comprised of four books that are included in the Lean Bronze Certification Package, only available directly at SME's bookstore. Attendees must purchase and read these materials prior to the review. You should have at least foundational lean knowledge and competency. The Bronze-level exam is the starting point for obtaining certification and is a requirement for all levels of Lean Certification. Please bring your materials for use during this review course.

Venison Warrants.
I. 217. Letter from the Lord Mayor (Sir John Branche) to …… It had been the custom of Her Majesty and Her progenitors of ancient time, to grant to the Lord Mayor and Aldermen yearly certain warrants for bucks, which they had in respect of the ancient privileges granted to them to hunt in all forests, parks, and chases within the county of Middlesex. He had directed the Common Hunt to attend him for the warrants, and besought his good offices in the City's behalf, for lately the warrants had been directed to distant places, and the persons to whom they were addressed had refused to comply with the orders when presented. 1581.

This week SNL Digital Short w/Rihanna
It always amazes me when people move outside of their genre and do a brilliant job. I think Rihanna is great in this. Especially since she's not an actress or comedienne. I would say this is the best since the Natalie Portman Rap.

Re: This week SNL Digital Short w/Rihanna
Digital shorts are the best part of SNL. If Andy Sandberg was involved there is a very good chance it was hilarious!

Latrobe makes history at Powerade
By Chris Adamski
Published: Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013, 8:43 p.m.
Some 12 hours after the fact and following a satisfied night's sleep, Tad Harbert still was beaming.
"We're all smiles," the first-year Latrobe wrestling coach said Sunday, the day after the Powerade tournament. "We're still pretty pumped up. It was a pretty historic night for us. It was a good time for everybody associated with Latrobe wresting enjoyed."
Latrobe entered the weekend with only one winner in the history of the Powerade tournament, the event annually held at Canon-McMillan that is considered one of the top high school tournaments in the nation.
The Wildcats ended this season's event by tripling their number of Powerade champions when freshman Luke Pletcher won the 109-pound title and junior Zack Zavatsky took gold at 160 pounds.
"It's great for the program," Harbert said. "It's definitely going to attract a little more attention, especially from our junior Olympic wrestling program and all the way on up."
Zavatsky and Pletcher each enjoyed dominant runs through the tournament. Zavatsky, the No. 1 seed in his bracket, won his first match by technical fall, then won his final four bouts by a combined score of 32-4. Zavatsky defeated Greensburg Salem senior Zach Voytek, 2-0, in the final.
Unseeded only because he is a freshman — and seedings are based on past high school results — Pletcher won by pin and technical fall, respectively, in the first two rounds and then by a combined 23-2 score in the quarterfinals, semifinals and championship match.
Pletcher beat Saegertown sophomore Devan Brown, 7-1, for the title, as Latrobe took eighth place in the team standings — including being third among WPIAL teams.
"It's just pretty cool to have two champions in one year because we've never had that before and we only had one (overall) before," Zavatsky said. "It shows we're working hard and doing the right things, I guess."
That hasn't been an issue for Pletcher or Zavatsky, said former longtime Latrobe coach Marc Billett, who retired after last season.
"They both practice extremely hard and often have it where they do two practices in one day," Billett said. "That's the reason they're so good — they just really are dedicated. And they've very coachable. If you scripted two ideal kids to coach, you would say they have it all. That's about as well as I could put it."
Pletcher is highly ranked by national publications after his performance in national tournaments. He is a five-time Pennsylvania Junior Olympic Wrestling champion.
"He's no stranger to big-tournament wrestling," Harbert said. "He's good on his feet, good coming off the bottom and great on top. He's got three dominant positions."
Zavatsky was a WPIAL finalist in each of his first two high school seasons, winning last season's title. Zavatsky took third place at last season's Powerade tournament and is a reigning PIAA tournament placewinner.
"I expect him to go a lot further this year," Harbert said. "I expect both of these guys to be on top of the podium at the end of the season. That's their goal."
Also among area teams, Voytek's performance led Greensburg Salem to an 11th-place team finish, fourth among WPIAL teams. The Golden Lions' Tyler Reinhart took fourth at 152 pounds, and Raistlin Willett was eighth at 182.
Hempfield placed 17th on the strength of sophomore Sam Krivus being the runner-up in the 120-pound tournament, and sophomore Ricky Cavallo placing fourth at 113.

Documentarian responds to messy minions
Josh Freed, the man behind My Messy Life, wrote a piece for the Montreal Gazette in which he highlights some of the reactions he received about his film. (I wrote about this documentary a couple weeks ago here.) From the article:
In the program, I revealed my extraordinarily messy office, then visited some stupendous messes with similar "order disorders." I also teased neat freaks for their obsession with closet organizers, desk organizers and other weapons of mess destruction.
Since then I've been inundated by almost 100 letters, mostly from Gazette readers eager to talk about (or rationalize) their own disorderly conduct. I've become the man to whom you turn to confess your mess – and the leader of a budding mess liberation movement.
Freed defends his messy file system, or lack there of, while doing so in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Calling himself the "Messiah of Mess" he highlights the his new followers' reaction to his documentary. While Freed will receive no love from us at Unclutterer, he did admit to tidying up his office after the documentary was finished filming.
The other day I went in and did seven hours of spring cleaning and repiling so I finally know where everything is again. I threw out seven large bags of stuff – and felt great. But trust me: If you walked in, you'd never know the difference.
That's a good first step, sir. Maybe there is hope for Freed just yet.

Messy, messy.

HAH! So he admits that he COULDN'T find everything in that mess! (I've always been skeptical of messies that insist that they can…)
Posted by lana - 06/07/2008
Josh seems to have a good sense of humor about all the joking done at his expense. You gotta admit, some of those comments are pretty harsh. It's almost as if looking at his mess makes some people feel hostile.
Methinks Josh doth protest too much. If he "did seven hours of spring cleaning and repiling" and "… threw out seven large bags of stuff – and felt great," he'd probably feel downright orgasmic if he ever finished the job.
If he's so happy living in all that mess, why bother cleaning at all?
Posted by Steve - 06/07/2008
Why do neat freaks have to act so bloomin' superior and judgmental?
He likes his space, and you don't have to live there.
In case you're wondering, I do enjoy reading unclutterer for the occasional good tip.

Having things extremely messy around me makes me feel uncomfortable, like I can't find a peaceful place to relax in my own house. With that said, while I adore getting things organized, and would love to always have everything in its place, I think it he's happy, then so be it. When I die, my last thought will most assuredly not be regret for the dishes in the sink, or the magazines on the coffee table. (OK, with that said, too, I do feel like all of his papers and piles could be a fire hazard.) Love the site so much – thanks!
Posted by Tania - 06/08/2008
I tend to agree with Steve. I don't know that all organizational folks are "superior and judgemental" but those comments certainly seem overly concerned with what someone else is doing. I couldn't live like that, but it doesn't impact my life at all that he does. So if he's mostly content with it, where's the bother?
Posted by Alex Fayle - 06/09/2008
If you speak with any Professional Organizer, "superior" and "judgmental" are two words we never use in conversations with clients or potential clients. If a PO has these attitudes, she or he won't have many clients and won't stay in business very long. We only organize people who want to be organized. It's not something we would ever force on anyone else.
If you read comments that attack this man, they are likely from people who are naturally organized and just don't understand what can lead someone to live like he does.
As a Professional Organizer, I would have only two comments for this man:
1. If you are happy and comfortable with what you have, then great for you and continue as you are.
2. But, if you were to die tomorrow, would anyone else be able to access any of this information, and if not, how much work (or cost) are you downloading onto your heirs to sort/destroy your life's work?

One thing I have noticed is that a 'messy' person can find things in their mess because often they have a very good memory.
Posted by Stephen - 07/08/2008
I would not like having a messy office it's very distracting for me.
Posted by My Perspective - 04/05/2009
I don't believe that ALL organized individuals are judgmental…
I simply believe that they don't understand that not everyone is as organized as they are. Sometimes there is a reason behind cluttering, like severe depression that lasts for years.
I know that this is definitely true in my case. I lived in a cramped, hot, dirty bedroom for nearly 10 years in my stepfather's home. There was a lot of verbal and emotional abuse. I developed psychological issues as a result.
I became withdrawn and unhappy. I had been very neat as a little girl. That changed when I became a teenager, having to deal with the abuse that people dished out. Clutter somehow became my way of coping with life.
I would help my mother at home, but I stopped cleaning my bedroom and bathroom as often. My clothes would pile up on the floor. The room would be hot, dusty, dirty, and depressing. It was a reflection of my mental and emotional state. My mom would scream and rail at me about it whenever she could.
She is a very organized person. She told me that I deserved my stepfather's cruelty. Imagine that…it was OK to mistreat me because my book was on the sofa upstairs, or because I didn't know what to do with my clutter. The ironic part is that I probably would have never allowed myself to deteriorate this way had there been a more emotionally sound environment.
She would say: "Well, maybe if you didn't piss him off by leaving your stuff all over"…as if that justified his behavior. He is NOT an organized individual at all, so I found it puzzling. He literally collected hundreds of cologne bottles. My mother and I would sometimes dust them.
I'm not saying she didn't love me. She certainly did. She is a wonderful person. But instead of allowing my stepfather to call me a "pig", instead of the emotional deprivation I was subjected to, could there not have been some type of compassion? My clutter wasn't responsible for his treatment of me. He simply didn't want me around. It was obvious from the start.
She threw away a relationship with her only child for the sake of having a relationship with somebody who was violent and abusive. I'm now 25. My fiance is 39. I practically live with him now, but I still visit my mother. My bedroom at their house still looks the same. I cannot believe I lived that way. It was so painful. Deep down, I HATE clutter.
But it was my reaction to the environment around me. My fiance recognizes that there is a problem. He tries to encourage me to throw things away. I love his small apartment. I want to make it clean, tidy, and beautiful. I've never had my own place before. I view his home (soon to be OUR home) as a type of safe haven. He lives a very basic, no-frills life and his apartment reflects that.
He isn't sentimental and doesn't really become attached to stuff, whereas I do. Before we met, his apartment was pretty bland and boring. It still is…but I've added a few small touches to liven it up a bit. I try to be as organized and clean as possible. But at times, I feel overwhelmed because he doesn't understand my situation. I don't clutter the apartment but he unwittingly makes me feel that way sometimes. He always reassures me that he loves me, though.
It doesn't seem like a win-win situation when you've been cluttering for years.
Posted by Caitlan - 06/07/2009
You know, I only leave things messy as a deterrent to people (my family) going through my things. If I am the only one in the house who has a pair of scissors in a consistent place, someone will invariably abduct them. I am still not some minimalist goddess but I was surprised that once I moved out and could be assured that if a dish was dirty, it was my dish, and if a drawer was organized it would keep its contents, my space tidied up very effortlessly. So, I wonder about the motivations of people who don't have those reasons and still have a constant mess. Maybe they don't know what to do with themselves with the free time from streamlining?
(I read unclutterer because I am majorly, majorly downsizing my living space and trying to do it gracefully. Um, this is the space but I have not even slightly started the project of weeding out my things and whatever. http://caitlancan.blogspot.com.....ailer.html )

All submarines are strange. it's easy to imagine them as nuclear-powered sea monsters, circling the globe forever underwater. But some are weirder than others.
Some driver errors are quite common and do no harm, others are dangerous but fortunately quite rare. But there's a middle ground of embarrassing, infrequent, burned-into-your-consciousness mistakes, and these are the ten worst.

EXCLUSIVE: Baby Cow, Coogan's TV production company, tells me it's re-cutting the series of internet shorts that it made for Australian beer company Fosters as a new TV series. Until now Coogan's cringingly-embarrassing TV chat show host and disc jockey Alan Partridge character has always aired on the BBC. The new 6-part series could be sold to Channel 4 or digital comedy channel Dave, Baby Cow boss Henry Normal tells me. The 12-part internet series starring Coogan will begin appearing online on November 5. Each 11 minute webisode is shot as if it's been filmed through a webcam in Partridge's Radio Norwich studio. Coogan's currently halfway through filming the webisodes. The original BBC series, which regularly attracted 6 million viewers, ran between 1997 and 2002. Deadline's Mike Fleming reported yesterday that IFC is wrapping up U.S. distribution on another Baby Cow production, Michael Winterbottom's The Trip, starring Coogan and fellow comic Rob Brydon as they tour eateries in northern England. Winterbottom turned the results into a 6-part BBC miniseries, which he's boiled down for the new movie.

Santa Suits Are Getting Bigger
By editor
Good morning. I'm David Greene. If you're feeling overwhelmed by those piles of holiday treats tempting you, you're not alone. Think of all the cookies Santa has to eat before sun up tomorrow. A lot. And actually, ABC polled a few Santa suit makers who say Santa's girth has been steadily increasing. The man known for excess can now order suits up to size quadruple X - a 70-inch waistline. Santa, you've got to take care of yourself. I mean this cannot make squeezing down chimneys very easy. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.

Women's Soccer shutout by Roger Williams
New England College women's soccer struggled to find the net Saturday as they were shutout by the Roger Williams University Hawks 3-0 in Bristol. With the loss the Pilgrims fall to 7-9-1 overall and 5-6-1 in conference play. With the win the Hawks improve to 14-2 overall and 12-1 in conference action.
Roger Williams would strike early as Kelly Capek would put in a one-timer from Laurin Pendleton just 4:34 into the opening half. The Hawks would extend their lead to 2-0 in the 24th minute as Amanda daCunha would score off a corner. Roger Williams would net another goal just before halftime as Julie Hamor would score an unassisted goal putting the Hawks up 3-0 heading into halftime.
The two teams would battle through a scoreless second half of play. The Pilgrims would muster eight shots in the second half of play but the Hawks defense would keep NEC off the board, cruising to the 3-0 win.
Leading the way for NEC was Debbie Lyons (Wilmington, Mass.) who finished with three shots on net. In goal for NEC was Kerry Hughes (Wallkill, N.Y.) who finished the afternoon with 13 saves.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The Rhode Island Senate is poised to vote on whether the state should join the rest of New England in allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry. The Senate is expected to decide the contentious issue Wednesday. Dozens of supporters cheered Tuesday as the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 7-4 to forward the bill to the Senate floor.
Ken Fish, a gay man from Warwick, says he expects the Senate to pass the bill. The 70-year-old says he is elated - and a little stunned - that gay marriage may soon be the law of the land. The bill has already passed the House and is supported by Gov. Lincoln Chafee. Nine states and the District of Columbia allow gay marriage.

If you cannot see your own shadow, you must go in search of it. The shadow hides in shame in the dark alleys, secret passages, and ghost-filled attics of your consciousness. To have a shadow is not to be flawed, but to be complete. That's a hard truth to confront. (Haven't you tried to tell people a candid truth about themselves, only to have them snap back, "Don't psychoanalyze me," or something of the sort? The unconscious realm feels as dangerous as the depths of the ocean; both are dark and full of unseen monsters.) We are all living with the wreckage of failed ideals that once seemed like perfect solutions. Each solution matches a picture of what the dark side is all about.
