The LA Times tripled down on LA Galaxy soccer articles yesterday. Check out their game recap, season status report, and an article exploring the use of statistics in soccer.
Time to look at some match previews as the LA Galaxy are set to take on the Colorado Rapids. Tonight should see the return of Landon Donovan and the premier of Christian Wilhelmsson.
Although the team no longer has the "we've been in first since day one" advantage they had last season, their recent run of form has them looking top of the league.
Good morning Galaxy fans. Remember how David Beckham was deathly in on Sunday? Well that's had lingering effects.
It's match day, and as we've been saying for about a month now, this is a must win match. Win, and a second place finish isn't out of the question. Lose, and leave the door open for Chivas USA to...
Good morning Galaxy fans! It's SuperClasico week, and with playoff position on the line both supporter's bases are abuzz. My SB Nation Chivas counterpart over at The Goat Parade made a fifteen...
Good morning Galaxy fans! Today is another friendly match day, with Real Madrid in town to take on the Galaxy.
We're talking olympics, we're talking Beckham's role in evolution, we're talking about Beckham emptying ashtrays at a dog race track. The Galaxy brand keeps on growing
Good Morning Galaxy fans! After a mild embarrassment in the last SuperClasico, tonight the Galaxy look to find the treasure that alluded them before.
Good morning Galaxy fans! It's match day, with the Galaxy involved in a midweek bout with the Vancouver Whitecaps. All our previews come from Canada today (thanks NAFTA) so read on and just ignore...
Good morning Galaxy fans! Cracking win on Saturday, hopefully the Galaxy can do it again with a short turn around. The team is practicing in Portland as we speak, before heading on to Vancouver.
Happy match day everyone! The best day of the week is when there's soccer on the TV, isn't it? It's another national broadcast for the LA Galaxy, taking on the Portland Timbers on NBC Sports Network.
Good morning Galaxy fans! Took a bit of a break after the big LA Galaxy win on Sunday. Now they've got to prepare for Saturday's match in Portland, which brings up several questions.
Today, is Landon Donovan the best US player ever? Are the LA Galaxy the best squad in MLS?
Tough loss last night, but one with plenty of story lines. Robbie Keane can't force one in then leaves before talking to anyone. David Beckham entertaining Frank Lampard in the AEG booth.
Five MLS matches tonight, and the LA Galaxy are in one of them; taking on the Philadelphia Union looking to keep their home winning streak alive.
In a wild match that featured nonstop action at both ends, the Quakes continued their extraordinary gallop to the top of Major League Soccer. The fans saw a signature free-kick goal by the Galaxy's...
David Beckham has done everything save build the Olympic Stadium for that country. He was involved in China kicking soccer balls off a bus, he carried the torch from Athens to the UK.
Good morning Galaxy fans! As we continue the hype march toward Saturday's California Classico, let's see what's being said on the training ground.
the LA Galaxy are coming up with some neat fan initiatives that have gotten the attention of the press. There's the Dodger-Galaxy criss cross promotion, and the design a third jersey contest.
What a crazy win too, with RSL making mistake on the back line allowing the Galaxy back into the match, and then the Galaxy doing a great job shutting down a potent offense in the last twenty minutes.
We're gonna take a look at two Galaxy previews, a neutral preview, and a Salt Lake preview. From the Galaxy end, one win is being called momentum, although the result of the match might be secondary
Ireland was swept out of the Euro tournament yesterday, managing just one goal in three matches. Robbie Keane was especially bad.
Things are always brighter when your team gets three points, that's what my grandma always said. Many news organizations chose to chime in on this one, so we'll see from five different perspectives...
The Galaxy will have to do it without Robbie Keane, Edson Buddle, and Leonardo (though doing it without Leonardo isn't new, it's just a setback), Hector Jimenez, Mike Magee, and Michael Stephens....
As for the United States. Donovan started and went the full 90. Don't expect him to start on Sunday against Portland Timbers.

The Da Vinci Speech Code? WaPo's 'On Faith' Invokes Mary Magdalene to Blast Rush
By Paul Wilson | March 08, 2012 | 16:00
Things are getting pretty surreal around the Washington Post's "On Faith" blog when a supposedly credentialed cleric turns to the loopy fiction of "The Da Vinci Code" for ammunition to attack Rush Limbaugh.
Rev. Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, a minister in the United Church of Christ and a senior fellow at the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress, attacked Limbaugh by comparing Sandra Fluke to Mary Magdalene, in a March 5 post titled "Mary Magdalene to Rush Limbaugh: Your apology is too little, too late."
Attacks on conservatives are standard fare on the "On Faith" blog. The editor of "On Faith," Sally Quinn, also got into the Rush-bashing fest, attacking Limbaugh's audience for daring to support him.
A regular at "On Faith," Thistlethwaite often wields dubious theology in service of leftist politics. She fatuously claimed that Jesus would be an Occupy supporter, and blamed Christianity for the Oslo shooting. The theology of Thistlethwaite resembles the Disney movie Fantasia more than Christianity.
But the March 5 post was particularly rich. Her first paragraph attempted to compare Limbaugh's admittedly deplorable personal attack on a known liar with the early Church's attack on Mary Magdalene: "Rush Limbaugh, conservative radio talk show host, attempted to silence women's voices in the public square through sexual shaming. The early church did the same thing to Mary Magdalene, sexually shaming her in the 6th century, mistakenly calling her a prostitute, and effectively undercutting her spiritual authority."
Never mind that Mary Magdalene was considered a saint by the early Church and the medieval Church, and venerated by both early and medieval Christians as such. Thistlethwaite was too busy spinning a story about men demeaning women to bother with the truth.
The "theology" Thistlethwaite uses to justify that ridiculous assertion is laughable. She cites the Gospel of Mary to support claim that Mary Magdalene was somehow demeaned by the early Church. The Gospel of Mary was authored by the Gnostics, a term for followers of a series of heretical sects which taught that "secret" knowledge was necessary for salvation. Gnosticism was rejected by both the early Church and is currently rejected by every modern Christian denomination.
About the only place the Gospel of Mary is taken seriously besides Thistlethwaite's column is in the fantasy-fiction of Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code." And, sure enough, Thistlewaite sites the novel as an authoritative source, claiming that "'The Da Vinci Code,' both the book by Dan Brown and the film based on it, has pretty much restored Mary Magdalene's reputation as a wealthy woman and a leading supporter of Jesus of Nazareth."
Thistlethwaite did note that the "fictional account by Dan Brown does add some non-biblical innovations" (i.e., that early Christians didn't believe Jesus was really God), which is pretty much like saying that Stalin didn't have much patience for people who disagreed with him.
Thistlethwaite also cited Karen King, a Harvard Divinity School scholar who used the Gnostic Gospels to conflate Gnosticism with early Christianity, claiming among other things that, "The new texts also contain an unexpected wealth of Christian imagination of the divine as feminine."
When the only "sources" Thistlethwaite can cite are "Gospels" rejected by every branch of Christianity, feminist pseudo-scholars, and a work of fiction that has been eminently debunked in its "factual" claims, her tenuous grasp on Christian theology is clearly evident.
Thistlethwaite's grasp of politics is just as tenuous as her grasp of theology. She claims that "Republicans are probably losing a generation of women and men who are appalled by this sexually demeaning attack on women" – conveniently ignoring that liberal pundits regularly call women all sorts of derogatory sexual epithets – as even honest liberals have been forced to acknowledge. But attacks against conservative women who don't kowtow to the liberal gospel apparently don't count for Thistlethwaite.

I read just this this week about some other Feminazi "theologian" opining in a typical desperately whining screed attempting to justify the whole TG/whatever lifestyle, claiming that Jesus was some gender "mix" of male and female (the female parts just not being overtly visible).
These spasms of ersatz "scholarship" float to the surface of the toilet bowl every few years or so, eventually sinking back out of sight until someone again stirs the waters sufficiently.
Nothing new under the sun. (Gee where have we heard/read that phrase before?)
Romans 1:21 "...they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened..."
You start out from that basis and things go downhill from there, the following verses describing quite accurately the gender-twisting gyrations of self/pleasure-centered people frantically searching for ways by which to justify and gain approval and acceptance for any-and-every-thing.
Ever since canines first barked at the moon they've continued with gusto for millennia since, yet the moon sails on serenely unaffected.

Submitted by Cool Arrow on Thu, 03/08/2012 - 4:31pm.
Why is Thistlewaste labeling Mary Magdalene a whore in an attempt to attack Rush?
Seriously, 12 years of parochial school, and I don't remember this stuff about Mary Magdalene being the repentant woman who washed Jesus' feet, or the naked woman brought before Jesus, until this Dan Brown stuff.
So why does Thistlefister want to call Mary Magdalene a whore?
She needs to apologize to real Christians and get out of the pulpit.

I've heard that people will occasionally conflate Mary Magdalene with the other two women you mentioned, which is why we have the pop culture image of Mary M. as the repentant whore. Not sure if it's due to a specific agenda or good old-fashioned laziness and ignorance.

#12 But she was a prostitute. Or at least a whore...
Submitted by c5then on Thu, 03/08/2012 - 5:26pm.
That is the whole point of the story. Jesus saves her by telling the rabbis and other men who were going to stone her for committing adultery (only her mind you, not the man who she was with and was equally guilty) that "he who is without sin should be the first one to cast the stone". She then repents and follows him, becoming a leader of the sect known as "The Way" and eventually, Christianity.
She was an early leader not because she was a woman and not because she was a whore, but because she repented and believed in the messiah and completely changed her life. She was re-born with a decision that was allowed her out of love and compassion.

Big Olaf coming to Main Street
Date: June 4, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
In the space formerly occupied by Bruster's Real Ice Cream, a sign went up in the window Thursday afternoon, announcing that Big Olaf Creamery and Yoder's Amish Shoppe will soon be offering its signature sweets to East County residents.
"To say we're excited is an understatement," Lakewood Ranch Commercial Realty President Brian Kennelly said. "This has been one of the spots on the street people have truly missed having a merchant in."
Big Olaf founders Dennis and Nancy Yoder will come out of retirement to open the store, which they started in 1982.
The location will offer Big Olaf's traditional hand-scooped ice creams, as well as Amish made bread, rolls, cookies, pies, cakes, jams, jellies, meat, cheese and more.
An opening is expected in mid-August.

EPA cites Dow Chemical for violating Clean Air Act
The Associated Press reports that the Environmental Protection Agency recently cited Dow Chemical Co. for violating the Clean Air Act at the company''s Midland, Mich., facility. The EPA alleged that Dow failed to comply with the Act''s testing, operating, monitoring, record keeping, reporting and notification requirements at the Michigan plant. In a Finding of Violation document, the EPA wrote that Dow violated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for pharmaceutical production, benzene waste operations and vinyl chloride. The agency said its findings are preliminary, and Dow has 30 days to meet to discuss a resolution. EPA also filed an administrative complaint against the company for alleged chemical release reporting violations, under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. It cited Dow for failure to accurately account in filings for the release of several chemicals—2,4-D butoxyethyl ester, chloromethane and propylene oxide—at the Midland plant between 2000 and 2002. The EPA has proposed a $53,109 penalty.

Game time info for Saturday
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 26, 2013 -- The East Stadium expansion will be the most obvious change for Cornhusker football fans when they arrive at Memorial Stadium to set a stadium attendance record in Nebraska's season opener vs. Wyoming on Aug. 31. The expansion elevates the height of the stadium's east side, adds 6,000 new seats, 38 suites and a new club level and increases the stadium's average attendance to more than 91,000. In addition, for the first time in two years, all stadium gates will be open.
There are also some new policies and procedures in Memorial Stadium:
> Mobile tickets will be accepted; tickets can be stored on mobile devices and scanned at the gates.
> Bags larger than 13 inches by 10 inches will not be allowed in the stadium (security will use containers at the entrances to measure bags).
> Escalator and elevator access will be restricted to those fans holding tickets to their respective areas in the premium level and the 600 East Stadium level.
> No entry or re-entry will be allowed after the start of the fourth quarter.
> A free bike valet service will be provided at Cook Pavilion by UNL Campus Recreation. For details, go to http://bike.unl.edu/bikevalet.
Other stadium policies remain unchanged from previous years.
Tickets at all gates will be scanned with an optical reader for entrance and for re-entry if someone leaves the stadium. No re-entry is allowed beginning at the start of the fourth quarter.
Fans will again have the ability to report safety concerns to UNL Police via SMS (Short Message Service) text messaging. Anyone with a cellular phone and SMS capabilities can initiate a text message to 69050, keyword, "UNLPD," and type in their complaint and location. Standard SMS rates will apply. The text number is the same as the one used in 2012.
UNL students will be seated in Sections 9 through 14 in the southeast corner of Memorial Stadium, and all student seating is general admission. Students with tickets for East Stadium seating (Sections 9, 10 and 11) must pick up a required wristband at the tent east of Gate 23 beginning four hours prior to kickoff each game; when stadium gates open, they will enter Memorial Stadium through Gate 23. Wristbands are not required for students with tickets for South Stadium seating (Sections 12, 13 and 14, entering through Gate 24). UNL student tickets are sent to the students' valid NCard which will be scanned at the gate for admission. They must be scanned in and out just like a regular ticket. All transfers of student tickets will be done electronically via http://www.huskers.com. If the transfer is made to a non-UNL student, the validation fee will be charged and a print-at-home ticket is issued. If transferred to another full-time student, then the ticket will be sent to the recipient's NCard. Validated student tickets for East Stadium seating require a wristband.
Fans are asked to help the "Big Red Go Green" in a stepped-up recycling program this fall by depositing their plastic bottles and cups in marked recycling bins located near every trash receptacle.
Memorial Stadium gates will open 1 hour and 30 minutes before kickoff of each game and ticket holders are encouraged to enter the gate number printed on their ticket. Express lanes will be in effect at stadium gates again and fans are encouraged to "travel light."

Manny could start Minors stint next week
Suspended slugger would play for LA's Class A affiliate
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers manager Joe Torre spoke with suspended outfielder Manny Ramirez on Wednesday about starting a rehab assignment next week, but nothing was finalized.
Torre said Ramirez missed another workout because of a cold or flu.
"He's still bothered by a sore throat," said Torre. "We talked about sometime early next week, he'll play some games. I think in San Bernardino. We're thinking about the convenience of the thing. We're still communicating. Nothing is scheduled. We have to get him back on the field. We hope he can work out tomorrow."
San Bernardino is the Dodgers' Class A Inland Empire affiliate. However, its schedule doesn't appear to be entirely cooperative. The California League All-Star break is Monday-Wednesday, then the 66ers resume play Thursday-Saturday at nearby Lake Elsinore, before returning to San Bernardino.
Ramirez, suspended on May 7 for 50 games for violating the Major League Baseball drug policy, is eligible to return to the Dodgers on July 3 and is allowed to play in as many as 10 Minor League games while suspended in preparation for his return.

Not surprisingly, the Rams announced Monday afternoon that they had released longtime starting QB Marc Bulger.
The 33-year-old Bulger started eight games for the Rams last season but was placed on the reserve/injured list prior to Week 16 and was expected to be released after struggling more often than not for a third straight season.
"It is always hard to part ways with someone you care for and appreciate," Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "I was fortunate as a first-year head coach to have Marc on our team. I will always be indebted to him for his work ethic, character and leadership. We wish him and his family nothing but the best."
Added Rams GM Billy Devaney: "I would like to thank Marc Bulger for his professional attitude. Since I arrived in 2008, Marc showed leadership on the field and in the community. We appreciate all that he has done and we wish him the best."
In his career, Bulger has started 95-of-96 games and has a 41-54 career record as a starter, all with the Rams. He has completed 1,969-of-3,171 passes (62.1 percent) for 22,814 yards, the second-most passing yards in franchise history. Bulger has thrown for 122 touchdowns and 93 interceptions, with an 84.4 career passer rating.

Primary Instructor: Carol Tebbs.
Either W112 or W113 may be taken to complete the certificate for Moving the Chart in Time. In addition, W112 may be taken as an elective for the certificate diploma; Pre-requisite: W110 (and preferably W111) or Challenge
In a fluid, multi-national world, many clients do not have birth times, a critical piece of information needed to accurately determine houses and the timing of events. Rectification puts your knowledge and skill with techniques that move the chart in time in order to identify the most likely birth time.
The astrologer and client determine when rectification of the birth time is needed and what is to be accomplished by the search. For an accurate birth time, the dates of major life turning points should confirm the alignment of natal chart patterns to life events. If they do not, the client should provide information of specific life turning points and time range information from family sources.
In this course, students learn to select appropriate modern western techniques for adjusting the birth time to bring relevant natal chart patterns into alignment with appropriate astrological indicators to coincide with the known life events. Study for part III includes:
Primary Instructor: Carol Tebbs.
W110 and W111 are required for the Certificate Diploma.
This course examines the development of modern Western interpretive methods of movement based upon planetary cycles, natural phenomena and symbolic interpretive tools from the 16th to the 21st centuries and assumes the student's working knowledge of the elements of natal chart interpretation and synthesis. Areas of study for Moving the Chart in Time, Part 2 include:
Primary Instructor: Carol Tebbs.
W110 and W111 are required for the Certificate Diploma. This is not an introductory course. Students are expected to have a working knowledge of the elements of natal chart interpretation and synthesis.
This Certificate examines the development of modern Western methods used to understand the cycles experienced throughout an individual's life. The objective is for students to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the various techniques used by astrologers to understand cycles and change. Students will see how different techniques apply to questions related to psychological development, and the timing of critical events both in the past and as potential predictions for the future. As it is increasingly common for astrologers to have clients without settled birth times, students will also learn strategies and considerations for applying these techniques to chart rectification. The basic approach will include:
Instructors: Carol Tebbs and Jacqueline Menkes
The course introduces students to the basics of cosmological symbolism and applications developed in Western cultures and in current use. Beyond planets, houses, signs and aspects, 102 introduces students to natal patterns and chart points that clarify natal interpretation, such as: configurations, essential dignities, sensitive points, house systems, harmonics, asteroids, declinations, Moon phases and the natural cycles of outer planets. This course covers:
Instructors: Tamira McGillivray, Donna Young, Enid Newberg
The objective for this course is that, by the end, students will have learned the basics of astrological symbolism and be on their way to successfully synthesizing that knowledge to interpret a chart, even if there is no birth time. To accomplish this goal, the following areas will be covered:
Instructors; Joseph Crane and Enid Newberg
Each individual 5-week workshop is $195, $530 if you take all three (students signing up for all three courses get $50 off the price of taking the courses individually). All three workshops are required to be counted as a diploma elective.
Is the soul immortal, and, if so, how can the soul be modified by good or bad actions? How does soul relate to body, mind, emotions and to situations like falling in love or falling apart? Can we use astrology to find the soul's purpose in life or throughout lifetimes? Is the soul evolving or does it get stuck on the wheel of existence? Divided into three short courses, this program explores these questions and their profound implications for the theory and practice of astrology.
All three courses survey the traditions that astrologers inherited and created and apply their ideas to astrological practice.
My first experience with the Kepler Certificate Program has been an amazing journey. After many years of reading and trying to understand how astrology works, I decided I needed help pulling all the pieces together.
Since I work and have a family, the Kepler online learning program has been a wonderful way for me to reach out to the Universe and understand just a little more about who I am and where I want to go. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and accessible.
The online learning environment is a great tool with video, audio, webinars, resource links, pdf documents, etc. Kepler also includes their own text and work book and a great selection of an easy to understand astrology books. With the ability to review any area I may find challenging, my learning is exciting and adapted to my needs.
I am enthusiastic and looking forward to continuing my astrological search with Kepler.
Thanks again, Linda Schingen (W101)

JK flip-flop
<hardware> An edge triggered SR flip-flop with extra logic such that only one of the R and S inputs is enabled at any time. This prevents a race condition which can occur when both inputs of an RS flip-flop are active at the same time. In a JK flip-flop the R and S inputs are renamed J and K. The set input (J) is only enabled when the flip-flop is reset and K when it is set.
If both J and K inputs are held active then the outputs will change ("togle") on each falling edge of the clock. JK flip-flops can be used to build a binary counter with a reset input.

|Wildcats use 6-run 6th to squeeze by Jays
|Tuesday, June 10, 2014 8:00 PM
DHI Media Correspondent
DELPHOS — Getting on base and timely hitting — that's how a team wins in baseball.
Good starting pitching is also a big key to victory.
The Jefferson Wildcats used that combination to perfection Monday night to defeat the St. John's Blue Jays 6-4 in cross-town ACME action.
The game started out as a pitchers' duel between Brandan Herron for Jefferson and St. John's Jacob Youngpeter.
Herron gave up only two hits, no runs, no walks and punched out five batters in three innings of work.
Youngpeter struck out the first five Wildcats he faced to open the contest before Gage Mercer reached on a bobbled hit to third base in the second inning. Youngpeter then sent Adam Rode back to the bench with his sixth "K" against seven batters.
Youngpeter pitched himself into a jam after retiring the first batter of the third by giving up back-to-back walks to Damien Dudgeon and Hunter Binkley. After another strikeout, Gaige Rassman walked to load the bases with two outs. Youngpeter then retired Jacob Pulford on a groundout to maintain the shutout.
"He (Youngpeter) was on top of his game tonight," said Wildcat ACME coach Doug Fitch. "We tried to increase his pitch count by being patient at the plate after the first two innings and we almost got to him in the third. Brandon pitched a great game, too, for three innings; we limited his pitch count to keep him from getting too tired."
Ryan Bullinger stepped in to relieve Herron and gave up a walk to Jesse Ditto. Chad Etgen reached when his hit to second was fumbled to put two Jays on with no outs. Bullinger settled down to retire the next three batters to escape the inning with no damage.
Mercer reached base for the second time in the fourth inning and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Rode. Youngpeter got the final out on another strikeout to push the pitchers' duel onto the fifth inning.
Timothy Kreeger and Jorden Boone walked and Josh Warnecke loaded the bases with a bloop to shallow left field. Austin Heiing popped out to Binkley at shortstop but Ditto came through with a solid hit to right to plate the runners for a 2-0 lead. Bullinger calmly retired the next two St. John's batters to keep the game close.
The Wildcats were retired in order in the bottom of the fifth and the Jays went down quietly in the top of the sixth inning.
That was the calm before the storm as Jefferson rallied for six runs in the sixth inning to grab the lead. Rassman's roller to second base was bobbled as he beat the throw to put the leadoff runner aboard. Pulford walked and Nick Fitch was hit by a Youngpeter pitch. Mercer came through again with a2-RBI single to right to knot the score. Jefferson took the lead for good as Fitch scored on a balk by the Jays' young pitcher. Youngpeter recorded his 10th and final strike out of the game but hit Jordan Boop with a pitch to put runners on the corners. Heiing was called in to stop the rally and got an out on Dudgeon's perfect sacrifice bunt. Binkley ripped a liner to center to score Mercer and Boop to close the book on Youngpeter. Bullinger's rope to right brought Binkley around to score but Bullinger has thrown out at second trying to stretch his hit into a double for the final out.
St. John's got a rally going of its own with two outs in their final at-bats. Ditto singled to center, Etgen reached when his grounder went under the fielder's glove and Eric Vogt's single loaded the bases. Youngpeter walked to score Ditto to cut the lead in half at 6-3. St. John's continued to get runners on one base at a time when Buddy Jackson singled to left to score Etgen as the bases remained juiced.
Coach Fitch made a pitching change as he brought Easton Siefker in to finish the game. Siefker didn't disappoint his coach as he got Kreeger to pop out to end the threat and save the victory.
"We graduated our entire starting rotation this year, so I was happy to see our underclassmen step up," explained Fitch. "We've been preaching big hits all year and we got some tonight."
St. John's coach Mark Slate was also pleased with his team's performance.
"That's the best all-around game we played all year," said Slate. "Our pitching was outstanding along with our defense but we just couldn't score enough runs."
The Blue Jays stranded 10 runners on base while the Wildcats only left five on.
St. John's was led by Ditto with two hits and a pair of runs batted in. Warnecke, Etgen and Jackson also reached base two times.
Jefferson's Mercer managed to get on three times and had a pair of runs batted in. Binkley, Bullinger and Rassman each had a hit for the Wildcats.

The Blue Buffalo Foundation for Cancer Research
In 2003 the Blue Buffalo Foundation for Cancer Research and the Pet Cancer Awareness Program was formed to bolster awareness about pet cancer and raise support and money for various clinics and universities that conduct research on the causes of, treatment and prevention of cats and dogs with the disease.
Educating pet parents about reducing the risk of cancer in their pets as well as noticing the warning signs is one of the main functions of our mission. We've created a web site at petcancerawareness.org that is committed to providing all kinds of important information like cancer facts, valuable resources and even heartwarming stories about pets with cancer. You can make a donation here.
The month of May is Pet Cancer Awareness Month when we strive to raise funds to help fight against pet cancer. The funds raised are then distributed to organizations like the Morris Animal Foundation, the National Canine Cancer Foundation and others who are involved with cutting edge research on treatments and a cure for this disease. Because pet cancer affects whole families as well pets, we've added organizations like the Riedel and Cody Fund and the Kate Koogler Canine Cancer Fund among others. These organizations help pay the high cost of treatments for families who may not have the means to afford their pet's care.

Hugo Chavez
Original post made by jag singh on Sep 24, 2006
Hugo Chavez stinging diatribe against his nemesis, George Bush, was hardly unexpected given the CIA attempted to orchestrate an abortive coup against him in 2003? It seems we only like democracies which result in electing leaders who are willing bend to our (US corporate) interests. Sadly, the US has a long history of stifling popular movements in Latin America. Remember the School of the Americas which provides expert training to Latin American military personnel in the delicate art of torture? While a number of media pundits expressed outrage over Chavez's intemperate language, these same pundits remained silent when Bush effectively torpedoed years of quiet diplomacy by calling heads of state "Axis of Evil" and even mocked the 'pint sized North Korean leader' as a 'pygmy'! What hypocrisy!

Are you a college sophomore? You sound like it. Do you want to get serious?
I am willing to take you on, but I just want to know if you are willing. I am speaking about a real discussion, Jag. Are you there?
on Sep 25, 2006 at 4:51 am
Dear Gene,
It is always a pleasure to see someone like yourself engage in a reasoned discourse about serious issues, instead of resorting to personal attacks, the last resort of those without any ground to stand on.
on Sep 25, 2006 at 9:01 am
Trudy--perhaps you are not familiar with Jag's posts and letters.
His writings are filled with half-truths, distortions and innuendo. He has been known and caught on this forum cutting and pastings portions of people's writings and then twisting them for his own purpose.
Jag's writings are filled with personal attacks against the Jewish people, Israel and others who does not fit his distorted view of muslim terrorism (i.e. it is all the Jews/Israels fault).
What ground are you standing on?????

Few in Tennessee knew Titans owner Bud Adams better than former Nashville mayor and Tennessee governor Phil Bredesen."He was not only someone you did business with, he became a friend and I really hate to see him go," Bredesen told News 2 Monday by phone while traveling in New York.The two hammered out the milestone deal for Nashville over a period of nearly two years beginning in 1995.
It eventually turned Adams' NFL team the Houston Oilers into the Tennessee Titans.
Key to the deal was a nearly $300 million dollar downtown Nashville stadium that largely relied on local, state, and season ticket-holder money to build. "I got to know him through the years. I really liked him, even given our large age difference and backgrounds," added Bredesen who served as Nashville mayor from 1991 to 1999. While the Harvard-educated Bredesen grew up modestly before making a fortune in health care during the 1980s, Adams was born into a prominent Oklahoma family before he started an oil and energy company in the 1940s. "He came from a very successful family and he could have eased through life like a lot of people do, but he didn't, he was out, he was active and loved doing things," added Bredesen.The former Nashville mayor who later served as governor from 2002 to 2010 remembered first meeting Adams for a private Nashville lunch in the summer of 1995. "To be honest, I was a bit skeptical," Bredesen recounted. The former mayor told how several NBA and NHL pro teams had shown interest in moving to a new Nashville downtown arena he had been building, but then the teams used that as leverage to get better deals in their respective cities. "And we sat down to a long lunch that went into afternoon and talked a lot about Western art, which turned out to be something we had in common. We came out of it with a handshake that we were going to move forward with it," remembered Bredesen. "I liked dealing with him. Everything he told me, he always followed through on it, never had an issue with that. His word was always as good as a bond." The former mayor told how Adams could have backed out of the original deal when it was brought to a Nashville referendum by a petition drive, but the Houston Oilers owner said "No, I trust you guys, let's go ahead and get this thing done." Bredesen laughed a bit when remembering that Adams "said what was on his mind all the time, and sometimes it got him in trouble, but he was someone I admired very much."He added that "most every year, I would continue to see him at his owner's suite at the stadium, and usually around his birthday," said the former Nashville mayor. Bredesen said he last spoke to Adams earlier this year when the Titans owner turned 90 years old.

|« How to Make Sake at Home - Appendix C: Glossary
|The Rice Vinegar Experiment »
So...you've made your fist batch of sake. You've pressed your lees and now you've got about three pounds of pasty kasu. I know what you're thinking: what the heck do I do with this stuff? I get asked this question pretty often, actually, often enough to make this post. The answer to your question is: lotsa stuff! Sake kasu has almost as many uses as miso, but it's not quite so popular in this country because of its rarity. The Japanese find it very useful, however.
In Japan, fresh kasu becomes available in Spring as all the sake kuras press their sake. They then sell their kasu to grocers for public consumption or to farmers for use as livestock feed. In America, we don't have quite the same heritage with sake as the Japanese do, so kasu generally isn't easily found in our markets. But we're homebrewers, right? We make our own kasu!
By the way: now that you have some kasu, the best way to store it until you use it all is in your freezer. Just break it up into what you feel are useful portions and store in zip-top freezer bags. It'll keep this way for up to 6 months.
So, to give you guys some ideas on what to do with your kasu, here are a few of the super-secret (okay, not any more...) Taylor-MadeAK kasu recipes:
Kasu-zuke Tsukemono: Kasu Pickles!
Cucumbers in this recipe are just an example, this method can be used with just about any kind of hard vegetable.5.00 ea (1 lb) Cucumbers 1.66 tb Salt 0.25 c Water 10.0 oz Kasu 1-2 tb Sugar 1.33 ts Salt Dash of shochu or sake to soften kasu if necessary
Salt-pickle the cucumbers by sprinkling whole cucumbers with salt and then adding 1/4 cup of water to help build a brine. Add a weight on top and let stand overnight to dehydrate. The next day, mix the kasu, sugar, and salt in a small bowl (add some shochu or sake if you're using dry kasu, it'll help soften it). Set aside while you go check on the pickles. If the cucumbers are limp, they're ready - just pat dry with a paper towel, then clean out the container you used to salt them in and re-use it for the next step. Now, add half of the kasu into the bottom of the container, put the cucumbers on top, then spoon the rest of the kasu over top and spread it around to cover the cucumbers. Put a weight back on top of the pickles and wait 3 to 5 days before serving.
Kasu Marinated Halibut
Just about any fish can be used here, and so can pork!1.00 c Sake kasu 0.50 c Sugar 1.50 c Mirin 2.00 lb Halibut fillets, cut into half-pound servings 4.00 tb Ginger (grated)
In a food processor combine kasu, ginger, and sugar; process until well-blended. Add mirin and process to a paste. In a large nonreactive baking dish spread half of kasu paste and top with halibut fillets in a single layer. Rub remaining mixture over fish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. The next day, heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over high heat. Remove fish from marinade, rinse quickly under running water and pat dry. Sear fish, turning once, about 4 minutes on each side and serve immediately garnished with tsukemono.
Kasu-Jiru - Sake Lees Soup
Trust me, tastes way better than it sounds!2.00 oz Daikon (peeled & sliced) 1.00 ea Carrot (peeled & sliced) 1.00 ea Potato (peeled & cubed) 1.00 ea Kamaboko fish cake (sliced into half-circles) 3.00 oz Konnyaku (cubed) 1.00 ea Aburage fried tofu (cubed) 4.00 oz Kasu 4.00 c Dashi broth (make it yourself or use powdered) 0.50 tsp Salt 0.25 c Scallion (chopped)
Bring dashi to a simmer while you prepare your other ingredients. Once it's simmering, add the carrots, daikon, potato, konnyaku, kamaboko, and aburage; simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt, then whisk some of the hot broth into the kasu to thin it out. Add the thinned kasu to the soup, return to a simmer, and cook for 3 minutes. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped scallion.

- A skeleton of its former selfMichaelDined on 8/31/2014To be clear, Ralph's is NOT an Italian restaurant. It's an Italian-American restaurant. They serve generic fare that any decent diner in the tri-state area can produce. They advertise about the days they served the likes of Frank Sinatra, Lena Horn, and other celebrities. In my opinion, those days have long pasted and what we're left with is a genuine tourist trap. If your not a foodie, or just plain old don't know any better, it will be "fine". But if you do, you will most certainly be disappointed considering all the undeserved hype. I'm not kidding when I say the Olive Garden can match their food dish for dish. Sad.Special Features:
- Never disappoints!!!!happiestgirlDined on 8/28/2014Don't even think about going elsewhere - mussels; veal, eggplant or chicken parm; the meatballs; the cannolis - The list goes on! Stick with the classics, bathed in red sauce! You will be happy you did!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/28/2014Food as usual, was outstanding as was the service; our water glasses never went down below half in spite of the place being really crowded with two large parties... I love this place ! if you like italian food you need to check it out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Historic DiningJoshDined on 8/26/2014Good food at America's oldest continuously family-owned and operated italian restaurant. We went with business partners partly for the novelty as it was their first trip to the US. The food was more than adequate with surprisingly large portions. The environment was the perfect amount of casual and the prices were very appropriate. Will definitely be taking customers and co-workers there in the future. I highly recommend Ralph's for the right events. Specific to this visit, the mussels white were great (a little spicy, which we loved) and the veal parm is a solid entree.Special Features:
- Classic Veal ParmCarlLaFangVIPDined on 8/26/2014Veal Parm was its usual great self. Lasagna was a bit disappointing - lots of pasta & gravy - very little meat & cheeseSpecial Features:
- GiggyDined on 8/25/2014Lauren was superb as waitstaff. Antipasta was well prepared and the wine list was well thought outSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best traditional Italian fooditalianfoodielovrDined on 8/24/2014Hearty and delicious Italian food, its worth every penny. Very small intimate restaurant. Nothing tops their homemade Italian dishes! They have a variety of Italian favorites as well as seafood entrees, appetizers and desserts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- tbird1Dined on 8/24/2014It was a great experience dining in a restaurant that is in a neighborhood surrounded by homes. Tables are close together but that is part of the experience of dining at Ralph's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BobWDined on 8/23/2014Fifteen years ago, when I went to Ralph's for the first time, I wondered why everyone raved about it. Took me about ten minutes to understand. Whenever we get visitors from outside the area, we take them to Ralph's. Subsequently, they tell their friends, etc. Center City restaurants are really good. Ralph's stands alone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- aaandddddiiiiiiiDined on 8/23/2014The wait staff is friendly and attentive! The food is yummy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always delicious!HungrygirlVIPDined on 8/23/2014The food is always delicious at Ralph's. Only complaint is that a salad does not come with dinner. Ordering the large salad from the menu is too much - it is too big. It is a shame that Ralph's does not offer a small side dinner salad - I would be happy to even order it a la carte for a couple of bucks. As a result, rather than order the large salad, I do without - and Ralph's does without any salad revenue.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gotta love Ralph'sPattyDined on 8/23/2014Ralph's food never disappoints. There gravy is outstanding. I had the gnocchi and it's just like my mother makes. My husband had the veal parm. The portion of veal was unbelievable. My husbands stomach is like a bottomless pit and he could not finish it. The seating is a little tight. The next table is right next to you. The food makes up for that. We will be coming back no doubt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sadly Disappointinglifespleasure2Dined on 8/23/2014Have frequented this restaurant for many years. The service is always good. The chairs are always small and tables too close together but was worth the discomfort with great food as the trade off. NOT THIS TIME! The food (sauteed escarole) was watery and flavorless. The Roasted peppers tasted straight out of can or jar very sour tasting, bitter, watery and just not what you expect from Ralphs. My platter was lukewarm and my fellow diner who has also eaten here many many times had a veal parm and while large was not tasty to the point that I asked if Management had recently changed. What a shame Ralphs you can do better don't just live on rep.
- Still darn goodfoodiesallaroundDined on 8/22/2014Ralph's still does some of the best traditional Italian in South Philly. We had the tomato and mozzarella salad for an appetizer. Tomatoes were fresh and chilled and mozzarella balls were salty and delicious. For dinner, the veal parm (huge! enough let for a generous lunch sandwich) and chicken with sauteed tomatoes, which was good, but not exactly what expected. Cannoli cake for dessert was out of sight. And a nice half carafe of house Pinot Grigio with the meal. Overall, a very good experience. A word to the thrifty consumer, Ralph's has raised its prices on some dishes as much as 20 percent since last year.Special Features:
- Always GoodPocketdawgDined on 8/21/2014We eat here only 2 times a year but it's always fun and great food!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/21/2014We had a reservation for 8/21/14 using the Living Social Voucher. The choses were limited but we had no problem picking an appetizer, salad and entree. The food was very good and concerning our service, we were treated as if we did not have a voucher. They now take credit cards and we will definitely return in the future if another deal comes along.Special Features:
- We love Ralphs!lovethefoodandwineDined on 8/18/2014I always love my Ralph's dining experience. We pull up to the curb, beep once, and the valet comes right out. We never have more than a few minutes wait, but like to give them notice by making a reservation. My favorites are the mussels over pasta and the veal saltimboco (sp?). They also serve great wine in carafes.Special Features:
- Great Food!mudd19Dined on 8/17/2014This restaurant was great. The food was delicious and the service was very good. I would definitely recommend it.Special Features:
- Never DisappointsslrcpaDined on 8/16/2014We have been coming here for many years and always leave happy and full. Great martinins at the bar and delicious home cooked Italian food. What more could you ask for?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Veal pharmRobertVIPDined on 8/16/2014My family drives an hour once a month just for the veal. It is amazing! We often get a few meals to go.Special Features:
- Real Philly dinning experienceFancyVIPDined on 8/15/2014We've mean meaning to get to Ralph's for ages and we glad did!! The food: caesar salad, broccoli rabe, shrimp scampi over pasta and gnocchi with meatballs was all top notch!! We will return!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DinnerFitforfoodDined on 8/15/2014If you have not been to Ralph's you are missing out on great homemade Italian. The food is outstanding ( try the veal cap and mussels red) . They treat you like family, are very accommodating, and extremely friendly . We will be back soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent On All AccountsMartynDined on 8/14/2014That was the best plate of linguine we have had and this century old restaurant is defiantly untrendy. I'm guessing you have to be Sicilian to get a table on the second floor.Special Features:
- Ralph's Italian RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/13/2014I went to Ralph's because my oven was broken and I found a groupon for it. The food was amazing. I got the fettuccini alfredo and my boyfriend got the shrimp scampi. The shrimp scampi was out of this world! The service was so-so and the waiter made a face when I told him I had a groupon, which I though was rude because it wasn't like I wouldn't still tip him on the real amount, but whatever, I would definitely go back and this time get the shrimp scampi!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/13/2014Food was good, but wife ordered Ghnochi and got cavatelli. I sat with a empty water glass for a good 10 minutes. Tables are VERY close, and you must Valet park but I knew that going in. Prices were reasonable but probably won't return.Special Features:
- As always Ralphs is amazing foodjayem41Dined on 8/13/2014My son and I met in Philly for another amazing dinner at Ralphs. While neither of us bothered to open our menus mainly because we already knew what we were going to have. My son and I love our Veal Parmigiana and there is really no where better then Ralphs. The salad which was huge fresh and cold was followed by the mouth watering veal parm. As always Ralphs is your home cooked away from home. We will be back soon.Special Features:
- Not as good as we remembered it...beachgirlDined on 8/10/2014We went to Ralph's with high expectations as the last time we visited, the food & service were excellent. Not this time. One of us didn't get our food at all because the waiter forgot to order it. When it came, it was the wrong entrée. Very disappointing. The waiter tried to make it right by bringing two complementary desserts. Food wasn't good enough to warrant another visit. Mine came cold, pasta came after I was practically finished eating & the overall taste was just OK. Everyone else in our party agreed!Special Features:
- Never disappointsPhillyfoodieDined on 8/5/2014One of our favorite restaurants. Excellent veal dishes and friendly service.Special Features:
- Good old placecarolngeorgeVIPDined on 8/5/2014Ralph's feels like 'authentic' South Philly Italian dining. Lunch was nicely served by Dominick, and the ambience is warm and inviting. The prices for lunch used to be a lot lower, and now seem a bit expensive, but we're glad we went.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great timeMarriedanItalianDined on 8/4/2014Wonderful menu, great service and they now take credit cards. This place doesn't dissappointSpecial Features:

- Always a great meal at Ralph'sjazzcrazyDined on 8/3/2014This is the place to go for pasta and gravy. I had the eggplant parm and my partner had the spaghetti and meatballs. Portions are perfect, you can eat most of it and you get a little to take home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Red gravy joint in PhillymfoyDined on 8/2/2014Food is very good. I had the ravioli and meatballs, husband had veal and both were excellent. Beware - this place is very cramped and you're seated right on top of each other. A table for two is tight! Service was okay, nothing special. They were very busy on the Sat we were there. Prices were reasonable for a city restaurant and the wine list was decent. Take advantage of the valet parking because you would spend hours circling the block looking for a spot and there are no nearby lots. Would definitely return for more visits.
- Great Authentic Italian!VirginiaDined on 8/2/2014What a gem, food was fantastic great atmosphere. Went with another couple before Billy Joel. Great service, highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedVIPDined on 8/1/2014Family style and usually fine, but getting worse by the visit. In this case, very slow (45+ minutes for entrees) service also was accompanied by a lasagna that was super-hot on the outside and literally cold on the inside. Really inexcusable in an Italian comfort food restaurant. the house Chianti was undrinkable and very unlikely Chianti. I am certainly not expecting anything outstanding, but there are plenty of perfectly palatable Chiantis that would be more appropriate and still economical for the restaurant.
- Awesome Italian foodFoodlvrDined on 8/1/2014I love this place. Great service and great staff. Of u want awesome Italian food this is the place. Good portions for the price you pay.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Twice as many psoriatic arthritis patients saw a 70 percent improvement of their symptoms when doctors treated them more aggressively. The study, performed in the United Kingdom, compared patients on a standard treatment schedule with patients on a treatment schedule that more rapidly increased the dosing and introduced new drugs more quickly.
At the end of the 48-week trial, 38 percent of patients under the more aggressive treatment plan had experienced at least a 70 percent relief of symptoms. Only 17 percent experienced a similar amount of relief while undergoing a standard level of care. The findings were presented in October at the annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology in San Diego by Dr. Laura Coates, a clinical lecturer at the Leeds Musculoskeletal Biomedical Research Unit of the National Institute for Health Research in the U.K.
All patients began treatment with methotrexate. Those under a "tight control" or "treat-to-target" drug regimen were assessed every four weeks according to objective criteria, which included how many of their joints were swollen. If no more than one of the patient's joints or tendons remained affected, the methotrexate was considered "on target" and continued. Otherwise, doctors added sulfasalizine, and were assessed again after four weeks. Every four weeks, if a treatment did not significantly improve symptoms under the objective criteria patients were advanced to a more aggressive treatment.
"I was very excited about this study," said Dr. Alexis Ogdie, assistant professor of medicine and epidemiology for University of Pennsylvania's rheumatology division. "This is one of the first trials to help us better understand how frequent follow-ups and tweaks in medications can make patients better," Ogdie said.
Under standard care in the U.K., patients see their doctors every 12 weeks, and the decision whether to continue or to escalate treatment is subjective. "Usually we just ask how patients are doing," Coates said.
By assessing the patients every four weeks, doctors were able to ramp-up treatments for patients in the "treat-to-target" group in about one-third of the time it would take under standard care, if not more quickly. By the end of the trial, biologics had been prescribed to five times as many treat-to-target patients as to patients under standard care.
A similar approach is already the standard for treating rheumatoid arthritis both in the United States and the U.K.
Really establishing that kind of approach with psoriatic arthritis, will require follow-up, Ogdie said.
"One of the most important things is to understand whether treating people aggressively like this actually decreases the risk of deformities and permanent joint damage," Ogdie said. She said 48 weeks was insufficient to establish this.
The study considered whether a more aggressive treatment regimen increased the frequency of so-called adverse events, because all of the drug treatments have the effect of suppressing a person's immunity to infection. Considered case-by-case, Coates said, only three out of 100 patients suffered serious infections that might have been the result of aggressive therapy. By comparison, two of the patients under standard care suffered serious infections.
"For patients with active disease that is significantly impacting on their quality of life … it makes us think that that was a reasonable trade-off," Coates said.

Clinton's rescue mission
By Opinion Staff
Bill Clinton went to North Korea and came home with two U.S. journalists who had been convicted by a kangaroo court and sentenced to 12 years hard labor.
But what did the ex-president and current husband of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leave behind? Critics say his visit propped up a hateful, dangerous regime and that he should not have gone.
That theory portrays Bill Clinton as a de-facto envoy from the Obama administration whose visit can only give the North Koreans hope that they finally have made such pests of themselves that the United States has to negotiate with them one-on-one instead of through the framework of multi-party talks that the Bush administration has insisted on.
But what does the Bush administration have to show for its diplomatic efforts? Not much. North Korea had half-a-dozen nuclear weapons while George W. Bush was in office and conducted rogue missile tests. Just as it does now.
Keeping some form of contact with the Koreans is good, particularly since Kim Jong Il might be terminally ill. And, no matter what else, Bill Clinton did bring out Laura Ling and Euna Lee.
So we think the trip was a good thing. What do you think? Take our poll above.

Construction on a major Marco Island road is causing headaches and big backups. Crews are working to finish an underground piping system that will drain water on one of Marco's main roads. The work is happening on Collier Boulevard between Barfield and Buttonwood.
"During heavy storms Collier Blvd. floods and closes," said Tim Pinter, Marco Island's Public Works Director.
Residents say the work is noisy, messy and lane closures are causing a traffic backup.
"Piles of rock, dirt... big equipment, it was really messy," said Marco resident Barbara Prigge.
There are also complaints about the construction happening during the start of tourist season.
I just think its odd they picked this time when it's so busy here," said Marco Island resident Linda Southerland.
The city says this is the best time for the project because they are working to avoid rainy season. They expect construction to wrap up by Christmas.
"You won't know that it really worked until the next time it rains, said Pinter. "Then citizens will be very happy that we completed this project because their front yards won't be flooded they can drive on Collier Blvd."
