Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

It's part Frankentstein, part Lassie but somehow director Tim Burton makes it work in this stop-motion animation simply called "Frankenweenie."
It's the story of a young boy (Frankenstein) who uses all of his talents to bring back his beloved dead dog. There are a lot of references to old horror movies all wrapped up in a heartwarming boy-and-his-dog film the whole family should enjoy.
Several celebrities lend their voices to this film that should appeal most to mom and dad. Fans of Boris Karloff will also enjoy this. It's strange in a Tim Burton kind of way but, in my opinion, some of his best work in a long, long time.
The characters are all pretty amusing and Victor Frankenstein is a suitable hero for this family-friendly horror film with Sparky, his patched-up dog, stealing nearly every scene he's in. Creepy and weird? Sure… but it's just the right amount.
Take the whole family to see this one. "Frankenweenie" is a "wiener." The flick-o-meter gives Frankenweenie a five out of five. This odd little story of a boy and his dog shows that Tim Burton still has that wonderful weirdness that brings magic to the big screen.
Let me know what you think. Head to my Facebook fanpage, it's called TheBrettside, and click like.
"Frankenweenie" is playing at Regal Cinemas Medlock in Johns Creek.

Google Is Maintaining A "BoringSSL" Fork Of OpenSSL
Published on 21 June 2014 05:00 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
11 Comments
A Google engineer has went public on Google's fork of OpenSSL that is tentatively dubbed BoringSSL.
For years Google has maintained their own set of dozens of patches atop OpenSSL that haven't been upstreamed over breaking API/ABI compatibility, being too experimental, etc. In light of all the
fallout this year and wanting to take a different direction in handling their mass amount of out-of-tree patches, Google is no longer basing their work atop OpenSSL upstream but rather will be importing new OpenSSL changes into their code-base.
Google doesn't intend to replace OpenSSL as a project but they will be pulling their new "BoringSSL" work into Chromium and Android. Google will also continue to send bug reports to upstream OpenSSL, continue their existing sponsorships, etc. BoringSSL will also pull in changes from OpenBSD's
More details on this "BoringSSL" work by Google can be found on

CHICAGO -- Getting a split at Wrigley Field was the Marlins' objective heading into the League Championship Series.
Watching starter Brad Penny get roughed up early wasn't.
Sammy Sosa's monstrous 495-foot two-homer, and two homers by Alex Gonzalez, punctuated the Cubs' 12-3 win of the Marlins in Game 2 of the LCS.
The loss evens the best-of-seven series and snaps the Marlins' four-game winning streak in the postseason. Game 3 at Pro Player Stadium will take place Friday with more than 60,000 fans expected.
"We're happy coming out with a split against this very good ball club," Marlins manager Jack McKeon said. "We went to San Francisco [Division Series] and were happy to come out with a split and it worked out all right. It's pretty tough to go into the opposition's ballpark and win two in a row."
Reliable down the stretch with a 3-0 record in September, Penny lasted only two innings, giving up seven runs on seven hits and two homers. His outing tied the shortest stint by a Marlin starter in the postseason. In Game 4 of the 1997 World Series, Tony Saunders also lasted two innings in a 10-3 loss to the Indians.
"Nothing was going my way," Penny said. "I wasn't making pitches. It wasn't a good combination."
More is expected of Penny if the Marlins hope to advance to the World Series. In a Game 2 start in the Division Series at San Francisco, the right-hander gave up four runs in four innings. The Marlins did rally to win, 9-5.
The Marlins starters had a difficult two games in Chicago. Josh Beckett, Tuesday's starter, allowed six runs in 6 1/3 innings.
A 14-game winner, Penny had only gone less than four innings in a start once. That was on Sept. 12 when he removed himself after two-thirds of an inning because of stiffness in his right elbow against the Braves.
Never able to establish his breaking ball, Penny said his pitches began sailing and he commonly fell behind in counts.
"I was 2-1, 3-1 on everyone," Penny said.
Sosa's smash set the tone and stirred a lingering buzz among the 39,562 Wrigley Field faithful.
"The count was 1-1 and I threw him a fastball," Penny said. "I just threw a fastball down the middle, and he hit it out of the park."
As much as Penny struggled, McKeon says he is committed to the right-hander if he should have to pitch again in Game 6 at Wrigley Field. Fifth starter, Carl Pavano, is being used in a relief role and is available should any changes be made to the rotation.
"I'm not going to bury a guy because he had a bad couple of games," McKeon said. "He was getting behind hitters. In this park, you can't do it. He is trying to see how hard he can throw. He went away from his game plan. The guy has good stuff. He just had bad location today."
Sosa wasn't the only Cub to flash power. Gonzalez swatted two home runs off Rick Helling and Aramis Ramirez also went deep off Penny.
The Marlins didn't manage much off Cubs right-hander Mark Prior, who gave up three runs -- two earned -- on eight hits with five strikeouts in seven innings.
The offensive highlights for Florida were back-to-back homers by Derrek Lee and Miguel Cabrera to open the sixth. Jeff Conine had a double and three hits.
"I don't think he had his best stuff tonight," Lee said of Prior. "But when you get a big lead like that, you start throwing strikes and try not to walk anybody."
After not cashing in on some scoring chances early, McKeon made an interesting substitution. Cabrera was shifted from third base to shortstop and All-Star Mike Lowell played third from the sixth inning on.
McKeon says don't read into anything. Gonzalez will start at shortstop in Game 3, and the lineup will be the same.
"You could almost see the writing on the wall in this game," McKeon said. "With our club, you need the defense. When you are behind, you can pinch-hit and get him out of there."
Signed as a shortstop at age 16, the 20-year-old Cabrera had never played the position in the Major Leagues. But with Florida's Alex Gonzalez going 1-for-23 in the postseason and the game out of hand, McKeon made the change.
After losing 9-8 in an 11th-inning marathon in Game 1, the Cubs pounced quickly, scoring three runs in the first inning. Randall Simon had a two-run single. Chicago added three more off Penny in the second, two coming on Sosa's moonshot to center. The ball would have landed on Waveland Ave. had it not clipped the back of a TV stand over the bleachers.
On contact, Marlins center fielder Juan Pierre took a step back but then stood and watched Sosa's remarkable blast.
"That was pretty much one he could hop on right off the bat," Pierre said. "You don't see too many that go out in that part of the park. You don't see too many that high and that far. He hit that pretty far. He's a strong man."
Simon had three hits, including a double, and Kenny Lofton had four singles.

Brignac needs to be replaced ASAP -
The offense will come soon. Won't happen this year though.1. Jennings2. Lee3. Beckham4. Longo5. Joyce6. Rodriguez Zobrist will be 31 soon. I think he'll get traded along with Upton and Brignac. We need more power in the order that's for DAMN sure.
I had a feeling early in the season that our pen would be a major problem......
All this trade talk (Shields, Upton, others) has put a cloud over this team. Just thankful that they were competitive up until nearly August. I really had much lower expectations for the team - possibly even being in the cellar looking up at Balt and Toronto. It was good ride - hopefully they can salvage a decent record and develope their players for next season.
You got that right - I'm a follower, spectator. I watch sports for entertainment. But fan? Not really a fan of any team in any sport.
Quote from: morgan on July 29, 2011, 05:53:26 AMYou got that right - I'm a follower, spectator. I watch sports for entertainment. But fan? Not really a fan of any team in any sport. Well, I can't argue that. It's very clear you don't what the hell you are talking about on most subjects, sports included.What I find sad is the inordinate amount of time you spend on a fansite since you aren't a fan. Maybe if you weren't such a clueless wonder, you could find human interaction away from a fansite that you admit you aren't even a fan of.

Ortiz named AL Co-Player of the Week
Seven-game stretch highlighed by game-winning homer
Though David Ortiz has his eyes on other hardware and accolades this season -- namely the American League Most Valuable Player award -- the honor he was given Monday isn't a bad place to start.
The Boston Red Sox slugger was named Bank of America American League Co-Player of the Week for games played July 31-Aug. 6. He shares the award with Cleveland's Travis Hafner.
Ortiz was 10-for-27 (.370) for the week with two doubles, five home runs, eight RBIs and 27 total bases. His slugging percentage over that span was 1.000. Ortiz's signature achievement of the week came against the Indians on July 31. He was 3-for-5 with four RBIs as the second of his two home runs won the game in the bottom of the ninth.
"We've seen it so often," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said after that game. "The whole inning we're sitting there thinking, 'Let's just get David to the plate.' Obviously, because he's the middle of the order, and that means guys are on and we have a chance. But he just has the ability to take such good swings in those situations. He doesn't do anything different. I think he's smart enough to know the pressure is on the other team, even though we're down."
Cleveland's Casey Blake (.476, 4 HR, 9 RBI); Minnesota teammates Jason Bartlett (.607, .714 SLG, 5 RBI) and Justin Morneau (.400, 12 RBI); Devil Rays left-hander Casey Fossum (2-0, 0.00 ERA, 13.0 IP, 15 SO); and Oakland right-hander Danny Haren (2-0, 1.69 ERA, 16.0 IP, 1 CG, 12 SO) also received consideration.
This is the first time both Ortiz and Hafner have won the weekly award this season. Ortiz was named AL Player of the Month for July.

Associated Press
Publication: theday.com
MOSCOW (AP) — The Russian Academy of Sciences is estimating the meteor that streaked into the skies over the Ural Mountains and caused shock waves that injured more than 400 people weighed about 10 tons (11 tons avoirdupois).
The academy said in a statement hours after the Friday morning fall that the meteor entered the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of at least 54,000 kph (33,000 mph) and shattered about 30-50 kilometers (18-32 miles) above ground.
The fall caused explosions that broke glass over a wide area. The Emergency Ministry says more than 500 people sought treatment after the blasts and that 34 of them were hospitalized.

The great T shirt arrived quickly
By mewoodwork
from Plymouth, MI
About Me Comfort-oriented, Conservative
Comments about this product:
The person I purchased the shirt for loves Parenthood, so this was a no brainer. I ordered the XL, which is the largest size and it does not fit loosly, so I know for that reason it will not be worn often. The shirt was a hit, but size is an issue. Order the next size up and for me XL was the largest listed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Artists with disabilities showcase art in professional gallery
Caroline MacGregor
April 4, 2013 | WGVU
Artists with disabilities have been busy submitting their work to the ACTion Art or a chance to showcase their creations in a professional art gallery at ACT's headquarters. Each artist can submit up to three pieces of artwork.ACT Executive Director Michelle Suchovsky says artists are coached on how to market and sell their work.
"When we started looking at this show and what we wanted to do, what we heard from all of the artists - whether they had disabilities or not were some really common themes of feeling isolated."
Artists taking part are eligible to receive two different awards: The ArtPrize Sponsorship Award ..where three winners will be selected by a juried vote, and compete in ArtPrize 2013, as ACTion ArtPrize artists. The second is the People's Choice Award where one winner will receive this award at the end of ACTion ART, with public community voting taking place throughout the exhibit.
The artists have unique life stories behind their creations - including Randy who is confined to Metro Health Hospital's assisted breathing unit.
"What I think is really moving is that this is so real - this could happen to all of us. He went hunting, fell out of his deer blind and wasn't found until the next day. He is now paralyzed from the neck down and now lives at Metro Health's Assisted Breathing Unit."
Suchovsky says they started art program at Metro Health 4 years ago after being contacted by the patient's recreational therapist. ACT has helped children at Mary Free Bed and also has a program at Spectrum Health.
Viewing hours for the artwork are as follows: Monday, April 8th through Friday, April 19 from 10am-6pm. Weekend Gallery Hours are Saturday, April 13, 9am-3pm and Sunday, April 14, 1-4pm.

Watkins completing quick turnaround in AFL
Cubs' Minor League Player of the Year hits first homer, drives in two runs
Logan Watkins didn't get much notice that he'd be playing in the Arizona Fall League. Following a thumb injury to Javier Baez, the Cubs had an infield spot to fill on the Mesa roster. Luckily, Watkins already was in Arizona for the organization's offseason weightlifting program. He'd participated for just one day before getting the call that his services were required elsewhere in the state.
With such little notice, he was concerned that he wouldn't be able to play at his highest level in a league that showcase's some of baseball's best young talent.
"I was worried about getting my body back into game shape," said Watkins, who had not played in a game in two months. "In this game, you can't just pick up a bat and have everything be OK again. It takes a few days. ... [But] I got the call on a Sunday and was here on a Tuesday. A lot of my baseball stuff had to be shipped to me from Wichita, Kansas."
Watkins looked like he was in midseason form on Saturday afternoon.
The 23-year-old second baseman went 3-for-5 with a homer, two RBIs and two runs scored as the Solar Sox outslugged the first-place Peoria Javelinas, 11-8, for their fourth straight win.
With results like that in only his fifth Arizona Fall League game, Watkins admitted his confidence has returned.
"It's obviously a great opportunity and a great experience to be here," he said. "But I wasn't sure how everything would go. And especially with the exposure to scouts that you get down here, I was a little hesitant about the whole thing. But I've been confident that I'd get my game back, and the team has reassured me that everyone here knows I've been off for two months, too."
Watkins hit his first AFL homer in the fifth inning off reliever Michael Tonkin (Twins). Two innings later, his RBI single sparked a seven-run outburst in which the Solar Sox sent 11 men to the plate.
"It was a great long inning," said the 2008 21st-round Draft pick. "Everyone got a chance to hit and we were able to string together a couple of really good at-bats. That gave us a lead and, thankfully, we were able to hold on to it."
Through five games in Arizona, Watkins is 6-for-19 (.316) with a homer, two RBIs and five runs scored. He batted .281 with a .383 on-base percentage, 20 doubles, 11 triples, nine homers, 52 RBIs and 28 stolen bases for Double-A Tennessee during the regular season. The Cubs recognized him as their Minor League Player of the Year.
With a strong campaign behind him and a week to go in the AFL, Watkins wants to prove to the organization that he's ready for any challenge -- but perhaps with more advanced notice.
"It's all very humbling," he said. "It's always nice when outside people notice what you're doing. But for people in your own organization to recognize you, it means a whole lot. It tells me that I'm doing what they're asking me to do and hopefully, that means I fit into their future plans in some way."
Saturday's game took an odd turn in the ninth when Astros' No. 3 prospect George Springer hit a deep fly ball to center field. The ball struck the batter's eye at the Peoria Sports Complex, with one umpire signaling home run and another ruling it was in play.
After Springer sped around the bases, the umpires conferred and sent him back to third base, ruling that the dueling signals confused the Javelinas' outfielders. Mesa manager Rodney Linares, pitcher Red Patterson (Dodgers) and outfielder Joc Pederson (Dodgers) ended up getting ejected.
Springer, who recorded his second straight three-hit game, scored on a double by Orioles No. 12 prospect L.J. Hoes.
"I've never seen anything like that," Watkins said.
Jeudy Valdez (Padres) smacked a two-run homer, doubled and scored three times for Peoria, while Evan Bigley (Twins) contributed a two-run double.

Chess Match: Moves loom large
Francona's decision to walk Torii to face Vlad bites Boston
BOSTON -- Every gripping game invites review and managerial decisions.Red Sox manager Terry Francona made the biggest decision of the game in the ninth inning in a 7-6 loss to Angels in Game 3 on Sunday afternoon. This is Boston. This is a decision they'll be reviewing for a while.
The intentional walk
The situation: Bottom of the ninth. Two outs. Runners at second and third. Red Sox lead, 6-5. Need one more out. Torii Hunter up. Vladimir Guerrero on deck. Jonathan Papelbon on the mound.
The outcome: Guerrero lined a single to center to drive home two runs and give the Angels the lead.
The analysis: "It's tough to walk the bases loaded. But Pap throws strikes and he had had a lot of success against Guerrero." -- Francona
Pinch-running pickoff
The situation: Angels outfielder Juan Rivera lined a two-run single with two out in the bottom of the eighth off Papelbon, making it a 5-4 game.
The analysis: "I thought throughout the whole game we did a good job of trying to put pressure on them offensively. -- Scioscia
Bringing in Bard
The situation: Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz, holding a 5-1 lead, loaded the bases in the top of the sixth when Hunter led off with a double, Guerrero reached on an infield single and Kendry Morales walked.
The outcome: Bard, after running the count full, got Rivera to hit a grounder to third baseman Mike Lowell that was turned into a double play. A run scored but Bard then retired Maicer Izturis on a popup to shortstop to end the inning.
The analysis: "I thought Buchholz pitched very well. I thought that inning he started thinking about some other things. It was probably time to get him out of there. Bard came in there and did a great job, limiting the damage." -- Francona

Now when you search Google, add blazing Internet speed to the list of answers you can find. The search engine giant is touting a new discovery that will revolutionize the way you use the Internet.
If you've used the Internet before, you've played the waiting game. You've waited for a site to load, you've waited to download files, and you've waited to upload photos. Wait no more. Google has announced an ultra-super-speed network that promises to -- wait for it -- end your waiting woes.
"Google Fiber starts with Internet speeds up to a gigabyte a second, that's a thousand megabytes a second," said Milo Medin, the vice president of Google Access Services. "It's Internet 100 times faster than what most Americans have today."
And just how fast is 100 times faster?
"If you were in a car that moved 100 times faster than another car, and both cars left from Kansas City going to New York, the car going faster would be there in New York, before the other car left Missouri," Medin said.
Google officials introduced its lightning speed network in Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas. Google has been adding fiber lines to the city's metro area for the past several months, naming both areas as the first in the nation to receive its broadband service.
Google Fiber allows users to upload and download their photos simultaneously, and open multiple browser windows and play videos at the same time. Even Google street images appear almost instantaneously. Users can also store their documents in one place on the Web with the assurance that they can be retrieved with one click.
"The access network hasn't kept up with the rest of the Internet, and it's great that things have gotten a little faster, but we can do better," Medin said. "You know what? We can do a lot better."
Google Fiber will also provide a television service for around $120 a month, including the ability to watch and record up to eight shows at once. It is currently only available in Kansas City. There is no word yet on when it will expand to our area.

NEW YORK — When Kathleen Jordan stopped at a Victoria's Secret a year ago to buy something for herself, the visit had an unintended consequence: her 13-year-old daughter got hooked on Pink, the lingerie brand's young collegiate line.
"Now she has more bras than I do, in every color under the sun," said Jordan, a principal at design and architecture firm Gensler in New York. "She's not alone — all her girlfriends are into Pink, too. I recently overheard one of her girlfriends excitedly sharing the details of her favorite Christmas gift from Pink."
Limited Brands Inc.'s Victoria's Secret isn't the only retailer generating sales as it becomes more acceptable for middle-and high-school girls to show off bras under clothing and buy intimates. Teen chains are, too.
Hot Topic Inc. is testing an edgy lingerie line called Blackheart, and Urban Outfitters Inc., which has said intimates could eventually make up 10 percent of sales, has bolstered such offerings across its brands. Even Justice, the store for 7- to 12-year-olds owned by Tween Brands Inc., is selling $21.90 tie-dye bras and $9 flowered panties online.
Retailers are taking care to present the garments as cute versus sexy, said Marcie Merriman, founder of retail and brand strategy consultancy PrimalGrowth in Columbus, Ohio.
Stores are "all going to say they're targeting 18- to 22- year-olds, but the reality is you're going to get the younger customer," she said.
A decade ago girls had little choice in underwear; a first bra was typically a plain garment bought at a department store or discounter such as Target or Kohl's.
"Sensuality and body image continues to be a message that young girls are seeing and are being exposed to in a much less controlled fashion perhaps than even 10, 12 years ago," said Dan Stanek, executive vice president at brand consultancy Big Red Rooster in Columbus, Ohio. They're aiming to imitate the lingerie styles worn by role models and celebrities seen on the Web and social media, he said.
