Very slow offseason so I thought why not do another Mock Draft? Here it is.
1- Pirates -Anthony Rendon-3B-Rice Remember when I said I wasnt a big fan? Well things have changed. I honestly love this guy now, I dont know what clicked but he just really grew on me. He should be the obvious #1 pick. (Previous- Anthony Rendon)
2- Mariners -Matt Purke-LHP-TCU Once again I think the M's go with the lefty who has Clayton Kershaw upside. (Previous- Matt Purke)
3-DBacks-Gerrit Cole-RHP-UCLA The DBacka need another legit starting picthing prospect and Cole is the best one available at this point in the draft. Kevin Towers needs to open up the pocket books though. (Previous- Gerrit Cole)
4- Orioles -Sonny Gray-RHP-Vandy Sonny Gray is one of my favorite pitchers in the draft. He has a great FB and a shutdown breaking bal.l Gray is a short guy, but guys like Oswalt and Lincecum have proven you dont need to be a tall guy to be an ace, which Gray could very well be. (Previous- Daniel Norris)
5- Royals -George Springer-OF-UConn Frankie Pillerie said Springer is the most exciting player he has ever scouted. That seems like a very big statement, but Springer has huge potential. He would fit perfectly into the Royals outfield next to Wil Myers. (Previous- George Springer)
6- Nationals - Daniel Norris-LHP-HS (Tennessee): The best HS arm available, he looks like an electric lefthander. (Previous- Sonny Gray)
7-DBacks-Mikie Mahtook-OF-LSU With all the money spent of Cole, they should take a guy who wont cost as much, Mahtook could be that guy, and he also has a lot of potential. (Previous- Mikie Mahtook)
8- Indians-Jackie Bradley Jr-OF-South Carolina Bradely has tools galore and reminds me of former draft pick Jared Mitchell, although Bradley might be a little more polished. Bradley can be a very good defensive and offensive of'er pretty soon. (Previous-Bubba Starling)
9- Cubs -Taylor Jungmann-RHP-Texas The Cubs are always unpredictable, but I like the chances they take a big hard throwing college pitcher. (Previous- Taylor Jungmann)
10- Padres-Trevor Bauer- RHP-UCLA I really like this guy, he is a year younger than most of these guys but he really impressed me in the CWS. Maybe a #1 but probably a #2. (Previous- Jackie Bradley Jr)
11- Astros -Matt Barnes-RHP-UConn Another big hard thrower, would be a great fit for Houston who lacks in legit pitching prospects. (Previous- Matt Barnes)
12- Brewers- Bubba Starling-OF-HS (Kansas) Starling is a very talented kid. The Brewers would be very lucky for this 5-tool talent to drop to them. (Previous- Travis Harrison)
13- Mets- Archie Bradley-RHP-HS (Oklahoma) The Mets have the money to spend, and Archie is a great guy to spend on. A big workhorse with great stuff. (Previous- Archie Bradley)
14-Marlins-Travis Harrison-OF-HS (CA) The Marlins love them some high school prospects and Harrison has Mike Stanton type ability. (Previous- Dylan Bundy)
15-Brewers-Danny Hultzen-LHP-Virginia The Brewers need pitching and with a protected pick they take this safe college pitcher. (Previous- Danny Hultzen)
16- Dodgers-Henry Owens-LHP-HS (CA) Love this guy, he reminds me so much of Madison Bumgarner , a low 90's FB and a big slow CB, could go higher IMO. (Previous- Trevor Bauer)
17-Angels- Jason Esposito-3B-Vandy Esposito just makes too much sense for the Angels. With a new scouting director the Angels may change their habits and go the college route. The Angels have such little depth at 3rd base in the system, and Esposito will become thier best one, and closest to the MLB. I know drafting for need is not a good thing, but it really works here. Esposito is just to talented to pass up. (Previous- Henry Owens)
18-A's-Alex Dickerson-1B/OF-Indiana Dickerson has huge power potential and fits the A's draft style. They could also go with a high school pitcher here though. (Previous- Jason Esposito)
19- Red Sox (From Detroit)- Dylan Bundy-RHP-HS (Oklahoma) Another good high school pitcher who looks like a workhorse. (Previous- Dillon Howard)
20-Rockies- Michael Kelly-RHP-HS (Florida) I really like this kid. He has smooth mechanics and he could really shoot up boards with a strong season. (Previous- Preston Tucker)
21- Blue Jays-Zach Cone-OF (Georgia) Drafted by the Angels a few years ago out of high school, he has 5 tool potential. The Jays are going in a new direction and Cone fits great in their plans (Previous-Dwight Smith Jr)
22- Cardinals-Kolten Wong-2B-(Hawaii) Wong is the one of the top 2nd base prospects in the draft. He should be a solid defender with a pretty good bat. He could go a lot higher, but this is where I have him for now. (Previous-Fransisco Lindor)
23- White Sox- Austin Hedges-C-HS (California) I have Hedges as the top catching prospect in the draft. His defense is pretty good and hes gong to stick at catcher. I like his swing a lot, and I think he can be an impact bat at catcher, which the White Sox really need. (Previous-Jack Armstrong)
24- Rays- Josh Bell-OF-HS (TX) I really like this kid. He is a switch hitter and has enourmous tools. The Rays like toolsy guys and Bell would be perfect in this spot. (From Boston)- (Previous- Michael Kelly)
25-Padres- Francisco Lindor-SS-HS (CA) Id be suprised if Lindor drops this far, but it is possible. Lindor is a great pick this late in the 1st. (Previous- Tyler Beede)
26-Rangers- Jack Armstrong-RHP-Vandy Another big strong college righthander with a bunch of potential. The Rangers need pitching and Armstrong is pretty polished and could move fairly quickly. (Previous- Jed Bradley)
27- Reds- Dwight Smith Jr-OF-HS (Georgia) Another toolsy outfielder, Smith has a pretty impressive bat. He could be a very good pick this late. (Previous- Phil Evans)
28-Braves-Tyler Beede-RHP-HS (Mass) Beede is a big HS pitcher with good upside. Beede has the upside to go a lot higher with a good year. (Previous- Zach Cone)
29-Giants-Christian Lopes-SS-HS (CA) Lopez is an athletic SS, but could move to 2nd someday. He is going to have a pretty good bat and works here for San Fran. (Previous- Christian Lopes)
30-Twins-Josh Tobias-2B-HS (North Carolina) I still have Tobias going here to the Twins. Tobias fits the Twins system so well it is kind of scary. He has Rickie Weeks upside if he develops power. (Previous- Josh Tobias)
31-Yankees-Austin Wood-SP-USC Yankess really need pitching help soon and Wood could help soon. He definatley has some nice upside. (Previous- BA Vollmuth)
32-Rays- Dillon Howard-RHP-HS (Ark) Another hard throwing HS pitcher with a lot of potential, Howard might not drop this far, but the Rays should be estatic if he does. (Previous- Blake Swihart)
33-Rangers (From Phillies)- Preston Tucker-1B-Florida Tucker has an akward looking swing, but he has pretty good power potential especially in Alrington where they dont have a clear cut answer at 1st base long term. (Previous- Dillon Maples)

Hi everyone
I'm now 6 weeks into my treatment but sadly my skin is worse than ever. I'm just about coping with the side effects of dry skin, eyes, nose, aches and pains etc but not with the ever appearing spots.
If anyone is further ahead than me, did your skin get worse with acne and when did it improve?
My Derm nurse said a few people get worse but I didn't think it could be this bad as my skins surface is so dry and I'm using oil free products.
The spots are all around my lower cheeks and jaw line and scab which makes them a pain to conceal as the skin peels by midday so I feel a constant mess at work
Also I got caught out in the sun this weekend as i was working outside. I'd used Simple Sun protector face cream and my body was completely covered but I actually burnt the backs of my hands and my scalp where my parting is and it's so painful. I warn anyone that when we do get proper sun be very careful,I will be wearing a hat or bandana in future!
Hope everyone's ok? 10 weeks to go!
Louise x

David Hammer / Eyewitness News
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @davidhammerWWL
NEW ORLEANS - In the wake of Eyewitness Investigation's exclusive report Thursday that federal regulators had not conducted a single audit of offshore oil and gas companies' safety systems, an industry agency says it's ready to ramp up its own safety reviews.
Charlie Williams, the head of the industry-run Center for Offshore Safety in Houston, says audits by independent third parties are about to accelerate considerably, now that COS has certified people to perform the new audits.
"We wanted to make sure we had a process for accrediting those audit service providers that were going to do them," Williams said. "So we set out to do accreditation requirements and training requirements for those auditors, and that's the work we just completed."
The federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement told us they haven't done any of their own audits because they wanted oil companies to do their own checks – to get them to "buy in" to the new safety rules imposed after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon tragedy and catastrophic oil spill.
But two years after those new rules took effect, and a year after all offshore operators were supposed to have a safety system in place, the industry hasn't exactly rushed to do their own audits. Of 120 oil and gas companies in the gulf, only four have completed independent audits.
The oil companies have less than a year to complete their own safety audits under the new SEMS Rule. Don Boesch, a former member of President Obama's 2010 Oil Spill Commission and head of the environmental studies center at the University of Maryland, is wary of giving too much control to an industry that has stood against independent safety controls in the past.
"The Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) that the Department of Interior has put in place is something that was long delayed by industry resistance before the oil spill in 2010," Boesch said. "So they acted quickly and put the process as a rule and implementation, but it's now been two years and of course we'd like to see more progress as far as these audits being completed."
But Williams said his group has not stood in the way of the government conducting any of its own audits. On the contrary, he encouraged the government to follow through on its initial plan to do SEMS audits to weed out the unsafe operators.
"Their intention around SEMS was really to do it on that basis, so if they saw a need they could either cause the operator to do a SEMS audit or could do the audit themselves based on the need," Williams said. "And one of the assessments of need would be based on the safety performance or the INCs (Incidents of Non-Compliance) that any particular operator got. So, yeah, they fully intended to do that." Fully intended – but didn't, according to the BSEE records Eyewitness Investigations uncovered recently. Those records made reference to lists of operators with poorer safety records and data for measuring how different companies stack up on safety, but the agency refused to provide the information we requested.
It also declined to provide on-the-record responses to questions about its failure to perform any safety audits.

The model I have at the moment is still fragile and prone to change until I can get something concrete together to use the model and see what breaks, and where, under stress.

This is another topic I think, as we now have rich clients using AJAX, JpSpan et al How are these effected by a recursive structure? I don't know myself at the moment.
I am finding it difficult to have one composite controller know about another composite controller as I said earlier in this thread, so this is basically what your asking as well. Doesn't really matter if it's the composite with the HEAD template fragment or not, as in a (composite) recursion all composites need to be treated the same.Quote:

FGCU Opens Eight-Game Homestand on Thursday
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU softball team begins an eight-game conference homestand, beginning on Thursday as it hosts USC Upstate before welcoming ETSU on Saturday. The first pitch on Thursday is set for 5 p.m., while the Saturday match up begins at 2 p.m.
FGCU stands at 21-21 on the season including a 4-2 mark in the A-Sun. USC Upstate is 32-7 and 4-4 in conference, while ETSU is 13-21 overall and 2-6 in the league. ETSU plays a doubleheader at Stetson on Thursday before traveling to Fort Myers.
The Blue and Green own an all-time winning record against ETSU, taking all six games, while the Spartans hold a 4-2 edge over the Eagles with the most recent losses coming at home in Spartanburg, S.C. in 2010. Last season, USC Upstate swept the Eagles, 3-0 and 11-0 (5 inn.) before FGCU won the series at ETSU, 5-4 and 11-7.
In the 10-inning shutout against Kennesaw State on Sunday, redshirt senior Catherine McDaniel (Melbourne, Fla./Florida Tech) surrendered just four hits, while striking out eight. Her performance is nothing new as McDaniel currently leads the team with a 1.51 ERA in 125.1 innings of work, striking out a team-best 78 batters for a 10-9 record.
Senior Courtney Platt (Naples, Fla./Gulf Coast) backs up McDaniel's performances, riding a six-game hitting streak. The senior continues to lead the team at the plate with her .387 average and 41 hits, while leading the A-Sun in walks (41), doubles (13) and on-base percentage (.574). Platt needs four more doubles to become the career leader in FGCU history and is already first with 159 walks.
Sophomore Mariah Fernández (Cape Coral, Fla./North Fort Myers) has a team-leading 19 RBI, while freshman Brittney Garabedian (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) owns a team-best eight home runs, tying for third in the conference.
The Spartans opened the season 28-3 and vaulted into the Top 25 rankings, but have since posted a 4-4 mark conference play. Pitching is USC Upstate's strong suit, with the team posting a 1.46 ERA. Ace Morgan Childers holds a 1.30 ERA and a 24-3 record, striking out 283 batters and walking just 33 in 161.2 innings of work. Hannah Alexander has been excellent as well, with a 9-3 record and a 1.59 ERA. Offensively, Janna Lewis leads the team with a .408 average, while six other Spartans own a .300 or above clip.
The Bucs are currently on a four-game conference losing streak, dropping a pair to UNF on Saturday. Katie Henderson leads the Bucs with a .351 average and Jackie Baird has a team-best 24 RBI. Jessica Duncan and Shelby Morris each have six wins in the circle to pace the pitching staff.
Saturday's games against ETSU will be "Think Pink" games to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Along with ceremonial first pitches from three current players' mothers, who are survivors of breast cancer, FGCU athletics will sell pink t-shirts with proceeds going to the foundation.
Tickets for the game can be purchased through the FGCU Ticket Office in Alico Arena either in person or by phone at (239) 590-7145. Tickets are also available here. FGCU students, faculty and staff get in free of charge with an Eagle ID. Kids 12 and under get in free.
Live stats, box scores and recaps for every FGCU contest as well as the other tournament games are available at www.FGCUAthletics.com. Live updates of FGCU's games can also be followed on Twitter (@FGCUEagles).

Words of the Army of the Immortals!

Words of the Army of the Immortals!
I want to thank you all for the many years of happiness the band has given me. I still remember the first time I heard Manowar to this day and my life was changed from that day forward. I finally had somewhere I belonged a group of people that felt the same way I did and still do today. In the absence of US tour dates I set off to MCF II, MCF III, and MCF IV. I met the most amazing people. Many of us are still friends today. I also heard the song Father for the first time. It was amazing all of the baddest of the bad had water in their eyes. I was fortunate enough to have a Father that was strong and taught me right from wrong and even when I didn't listen stood by my side even when I turned from him. When i finally pulled my head out of my ass, My Father and I became best friends. As hard as I tried I could never seem to tell him just how much he meant. I Played Father for him although he turned his head. I knew that I finally had let him know just how much he meant. I had my flight booked tickets purchased for both nights in Cleveland. I had my bags packed ready to go. I got the call at 630 pm Mar 8th from my Mother. My Father, My Best friend had died. He had surgery on March 4th to remove bone spurs from his spine. He had recovered and had been released from the hospital. I talked to him on Monday Mar 7th he had just gotten home he was in good spirits. The last words we said as we had ended all phone conversations for over 9 years were I love you. He had blot clots that caused an aneurysm. My plans changed from going to Cleveland to flying to Arkansas where my parents had retired and we had my Fathers funeral. I had them play Father at the wake. When i posted what had happened on Facebook, it was amazing the number of our Brothers and Sisters sent me messages posted on my wall to give support. Manowar truly has the best fans in the world. I wanted to send you this message to let you know how much thanks I have to have met you and heard your message through the years and will continue to be a lifelong fan."
- Troy M King III
"Hail Kings of Metal,
I wrote u a letter awhile back about the Brothers of Metal. I know your busy so I'm not sure u will remember it but the short version is me and 4 friends found a common bond in your music 20 yrs. ago. and we are still friends today. We consider ourselves Brothers, and this past saturday March 12 we were able to see u in concert at the Agora in Ohio. I just wanted to say HOLY SHIT THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING CONCERT I HAVE BEEN TO IN MY LIFE!!!! I had chills when u came on stage and when Joey gave his speech it struck a chord in me. That is how I have felt most of my life but not many people believe in those qualities nowadays. I thought me and my Brothers were alone in this, and that night I found out I was wrong. I have always believed in honor, loyalty, respect. You guys are the most amazing band in the world. The next time u come to the U.S. I am going to do my best to see you again. I would love to meet you all some day too!!! Thank you for putting on the best show I have ever seen, and helping me to realize that I am not a freak for what I believe in, that there are others out there who are just like me. Thank you again."
- Marty S.
"Would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the awesome show Saturday night at the Agora! This was the first time I've gotten to see you live. My wife wanted me to stick around and meet you guys and tell you my story, but I'm sure that you've heard many like mine. Your music has inspired me my entire military career. I picked up "Fighting the World" back in 1990 just prior to my deployment in support of Operation Desert Storm. I drew so much strength from your music, I had my mother send me Battle Hymns. Kings of Metal marched me through Joint Endeavor and inspired others who listened. All of your cd's thru "Warriors of the World" made the journey to Iraq in 2003 with me. It was there that we inspired my brother in arms, Jason. He was one of my young troops that like myself, was a true warrior. We volunteered for every mission we could and our spare time was spent preparing for the next. He came to me one morning having just volunteered for a mission to retrieve one of the spades in our "deck of cards" and he wanted to take a little Manowar with him to get pumped up in the helicopter. I gave him Battle Hymns and Triumph of Steel. Jason's helicopter was shot down upon leaving the airport and he took his place in the great hall. The empty cd cases now sit on his cemetery marker along with a plaque I had made for him with the opening lines from "Defender" engraved on it. I thank you for reading this, and for sharing your music with me."

Carter honored as Superintendent of the Year
Paul Carter, who has overseen a transformation at The Bear Trace at Harrison Bay in Harrison, Tenn., received the 2011 TurfNet Superintendent of the Year Award on March 1 at the Golf Industry Show.
Since the Tennessee State Parks course opened in 1999, the bentgrass greens at Bear Trace wilted in the summers and had burned through two superintendents in its first two years. Carter, who arrived at Harrison Bay in 2002, has rebuilt the greens and regrassed them with Champion ultradwarf Bermudagrass.
"Our greens went belly-up every year," said Robin Boyer, Harrison Bay's head professional. "He has basically rebuilt the entire golf course."
Carter's other projects include rebuilding bunkers, adding drainage and converting out-of-play areas to native, cutting down on water and maintenance while providing more habitat to the native wildlife.
The other finalists: Roger Brashear (Blackstone CC, Peoria, Ariz.), Donald Cross, (Skokie CC, Skokie, Ill.), John Davis (Secession GC, Beaufort, S.C.), Fred Gehrisch (Highlands Falls CC, Highlands, N.C.), Matt Hoyt (Sevillano Links, Corning, Calif.), Mark Langner (FarmLinks GC, Sylacauga, Ala.), Peter McDonough (The Keswick Club, Keswick, Va.) and Robert Pearsall (Salish Cliffs GC, Shelton, Wash.).

and then maybe you can exorcise this team of its demons. Let me explain.
In all of the classic sports movies, from Hoosiers to The Natural, what's the one thing that the protagonist ends up doing in order to find himself and obtain redemption?
He's got to have the humility to step forward and say, "I was wrong. I apologize."
In this case, Paxson's got to sit each of his affected and sensitive younger players down and look them in the eye and tell him that he's sorry for making them feel like they were pieces of meat hanging in a butcher's window that could be bartered away in the blink of an eye. He's got to say sorry and mean it.
A lot of you will say, "Who cares how the hell they feel? This is their job and they signed up for this." You may point out that in entertaining a serious Kobe offer Paxson was only doing his job. All of this is true.
But these are young players who built something special in Chicago. They erased the memories of potential over winning histories, athletes over players, and promise over delivery.
The point is not that these players have soft psyches. The point is not that they make millions of dollars and turn down offers to make in five years what most of us will never make in a lifetime. Again, all of that may be true.
But something is definitely missing in this team, and it's esprit de corps, and this is in part due to the relatively serious entertaining of the Kobe trade by Paxson.
In his first preseason as Bulls GM, Paxson is said to have lined up the old Krause-assembled team and told them something along the lines of, "From now on, you will answer to us. You will be accountable and we expect results."
Well, this isn't Eddie Robinson and the Cruisers. This is the team that came back from an 0-9 start to break the playoff draught that went back to the Jordan era. This is the team that brought back Hoosiers-style jump shooting in the age of post-Jordan athleticism, and actually won a playoff series.
So in this writer's opinion, if Paxson wants to get this team back on track, he's the one who needs to step up and reassure his team that they're in it together for the long haul of this season.
He could always stick to his demands that the team answer to him, or fall back on the truisms that the players are professionals and that they need to wake up and smell the coffee and realize that this is a business. But that won't get them to turn this thing around.

In just about six months, people in Williston and the surrounding areas are going to be able to use the brand new rec center.
The last time we took you inside the building, the roof was going on, and ground work for the pool area was just finishing up.
Now the pools are in, and all the rooms in the building are starting to look like a finished product.
Between 100 and 150 people are working six and seven day weeks on the rec, which has put construction ahead of schedule. The fast pace is allowing contractors to stay under budget.
"The longer the building takes the more money you're going to use in your budget, so that's how we're maintaining the building being done sooner," says General Superintendent Bob Laumann.
Negative temperatures are coming up, so crews are getting as much work done outside as they can.
"We're putting in all the landscaping. First course of the parking lots went in last week, and we're striping parking lots today," added Laumann.
Inside, frame work for the pools are in, and now workers are putting the tiles in, and stripping the pools. Over in the gym, basketball hoops are going in, and the track is more or less done, except for the flooring. Next are the finishes.
"The interior finishes of the building itself. A lot of the painting, a lot of your interior wood work, doors, hardware, and gym floor will be taken place over the next couple of months," Laumann added.
The projected finish date is March 21st, but the park board is moving in before that.
"A lot if the areas are ahead of schedule, and we'll start moving the park board in, come January 1st on some of these areas," added Laumann.
Laumann says about 85 percent of the sheet rock is up in the building, and crews will start painting soon.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Isn't this the foundation that has advocated immigration reform? Since they wanted more visas for high-performing technical types who they might hire at lower salaries than current citizens donations might be thought of as a tax-deductible political contribution.
on Oct 3, 2013 at 3:18 pm
@Jon: Zuckerberg has been actively working toward immigration reform; and of course this has a lot to do with hiring foreign born engineers and nothing to do with Mexican laborers.
But, is there evidence that the charitable foundation puts money toward political lobbying? I would think that would not be legal.

I remember when Christopher Hitchens first said that if you gave Jerry Falwell an enema you could bury him in a matchbox.Once in a debate in San Diego I said something about the limitations of science to which he objected. "I have been at many podiums with the Rabbi" he said, "and this is so egregious a statement that I am going to give him a chance to retract it before I have to refute it."
The man was always quality.

One of the finest orators of our time, and will be missed. I didn't agree with a lot of what he said - his support for war on abstract concepts in particular - but I'd be lying if I said he didn't inspire me as well.
Every 5 years we have an election and have to decide who are the least obnoxious out of all the men. Then one gets in and they age really quickly. Which is always fun to watch.
Not everyone he argued thought they were amongst the chosen people. Hitchens was one of those Atheists who wanted to convert people from their beliefs. That is arrogance.
RIP. Was very sad to hear about his death.
Not someone I always agreed with, but you had to respect him, and he was a very entertaining writer.

With the growing concern over violence, the Georgia State Patrol is now arming its troopers with semiautomatic rifles.
Troopers at the State Capitol are the first to carry the patrol rifles. The goal is to eventually arm all troopers with the long guns.
"All of this is supposed to be proactive," said Col. Mark McDonough of the Georgia State Patrol. "It's a very visible thing when you see those long guns and there's a deterrent factor with that. We are serious about keeping that area safe."
The rifles are AR-15s that are lightweight and fire at high velocity. They have an impressive range and can fire as far as a third of a mile.
"Last year, more officers were killed in the line of duty by handguns than ever before," said McDonough. "Twenty percent of all of those who died in the line of duty were state troopers. That's the environment that we live in."
The state patrol said troopers were first trained to use the rifles five years ago but have since been retrained.

Very little is known and appreciated about American Indian women's songs and voices, even among people who are familiar with American Indian music. Because most Native women's traditional singing takes place in the private, domestic settings associated with family, clan, ceremonial, or work activities, it is rarely heard or seen outside of these settings, leading to the unfortunate misperception that women have little presence or significance in the performance and preservation of Native musical traditions. The numerous, diverse, and powerful American Indian women's voices on Smithsonian Folkways prove otherwise.
Women have important and profound roles in the performance of music associated with ceremonial and spiritual life. One ceremonial song particular to women is the northern California "Spotted Fawn Song," which is associated with the creation of the first Flower Dance and relates to a girl's first menses, when she becomes a woman. Many American Indian women's ceremonial songs are about life-giving and renewal. Songs among Navajo and Pueblo women are connected with the grinding and preparation of corn, the main life-giving food among southwestern tribes. At the upper Orinoco River between Venezuela and Brazil, Yecuana women lead agricultural practices and ceremonies focused on yucca, their staple food. The Yecuana believe that the fertility of the soil and hence the result of the harvest are affected by the fertility of the woman who does the planting. Among some peoples, like the northern California Pomo and the Navajo, women serve as spiritual healers and conduct healing ceremonies. As a Pomo medicine woman, Bernice Torrez carries on the healing songs and ceremonies of her foremothers.
American Indian women have historically played a small role as instrumentalists in traditional music. However, in recent years, young Navajos such as Geraldine Barney and Lillian Rainer have taken up the flute and become well-known artists. In the mid-nineteenth century, American Indian women learned to play European instruments such as the fiddle, accordion, and guitar to participate in non-Native, often Christian music. Historically, American Indian women in Plains tribes were prohibited from powwow drumming, and sometimes even from touching a drum. Changes are underway, however, with respect to the place of women "sitting at the drum," particularly in the northern plains. The drum circles of the Crying Woman Singers are proudly composed of American Indian women from the Canadian and far northern American plains. Inspired by the need to preserve their culture, they teach the drum to young women in their communities.
Christian music in the context of ceremonial performance is widespread among American Indian women. As is true to a large extent among Christian communities in general, the major participants in Christian ritual among Indians are women. Christianity may have provided American Indian women—robbed of their traditional economic and political roles in Native culture by missionization, acculturation, and the "civilization" policies of the colonizing governments—one of the few opportunities to maintain a significant role. The women sing and compose hymns and gospel songs, even masses, in their tribe's language, helping to keep it alive.
In contemporary music, American Indian women have made an extraordinary contribution to songwriting, not only composing new lyrics for traditional songs but composing new music and lyrics with contemporary relevance. Their lyrics speak to present-day wounds and current issues of domestic abuse, alcoholism, environmentalism, and threats to Indian sovereignty. The songs may still have a strong tribal base, but they are rearranged for non-Native instruments, along with traditional instrumentation and lyrics that integrate tribal languages with English.
American Indian women's musical traditions—and the women themselves—are resilient. The sounds are vital and dynamic, and an important part of the process through which Native peoples everywhere are preserving and revitalizing their lives and cultures.
01: Ulali is a First Nations women's group that drums, rattles, and stomps to create a unique sound from strong traditional roots and contemporary styles. Here they perform "Mother" at the 1997 Smithsonian Folklife Festival.
02: Mary Youngblood began playing the Plains-style cedar and redwood flutes in 1993, taking up instruments that until the last few years have been used primarily by men. Here she performs "Tears for Kientepoos" at a 1998 concert honoring American Indian women.
03: Bone games are popular among American Indians across the northwestern United States of America. In earlier times, it was usually men who competed, but nowadays women and youth participate, too. Laura Wallace and her family (Salish) perform "The Bone Game Song" with percussive accompaniment and animated gestures.
04: Nukariik (Inuit) Sisters Karin and Kathy Kettler demonstrate traditional Inuit throat singing practiced by women in their community.

Word that the Eagles might move on without OG Stacy Andrews unless he redoes his contract was quickly followed by Andrews saying that he would be willing to do a "minor" contract readjustment. From what we hear, anything minor has to include dramatically reducing Andrews' $7.6 million salary hit for next season and, more immediately, the $4.1 million roster bonus he's due in April. Head coach Andy Reid blamed Andrews' poor play on a slow-recovering ACL injury, but it begs this question: Why would Reid insert Andrews into the Week One starting lineup and not go back to him at season's end with an opening at guard? One reason is that Nick Cole was a more trusted player than Andrews, and the Eagles have to be sure that Andrews can contribute something this season if they are to bring him back at a more modest salary.

HARTFORD — For the second year in a row, Connecticut's largest business group and labor advocates are digging in for a fight in the Legislature over raising the minimum wage.
Connecticut Working Families is backing legislation that would increase the minimum wage from $8.25 an hour to $9 on July 1 and to $9.75 a year later. The legislation also calls for automatic raises in the minimum wage tied to increases in the consumer price index, the federal measure of inflation.

Stumbled on this place on my way to The Beer Engine which is a few miles down the road. I was literally turning the corner and saw a sign for Chimay so I figured, "What the heck, go check this place out." I was greeted by a kind man who was working the counter on the right as I entered and I was overwhelmed by two things: How small this place is and how much wine, beer, snacks, cigs and other related items they packed in there! The wine on the left, the beer straight ahead. I went straight ahead.
Quality: Fair to good as their selection was good for such a small place. They displayed the clean bottles in an organized way with singles typically in coolers around the edge and sixers and cases down in front in the foreground. You had to step sideways in some areas since it was so cramped. I will give it a bit above average for quality due to the respectful way that the beer is displayed. 3.5
Service: As stated, kind service but not pushy. I did not require any real service as I was in to take a look on my way to the Engine. 3.5
Selection: As stated, good with Belgians, lots and lots of craft (I can recall Ithaca, Founders, Southern Tier, New Holland as standouts). 4.0
Value: Well, I bought singles of ST 422 Pale Wheat Ale, Founder's Harvest and Weyerbacher Harvest for $8.59. Value was just o.k.

This place is basically a convenient store with a larger selection than most. I hate refering to this place as a beer store. The store is dimly lit and way overcrouded. The place was cramped and didn't have that large of a selection. Here's a list of some of the beer I found:
Unibrou - basic
Stone - basic
Ommegong - basic
Chimay - red white and blue
Founders - Cenntenial
Dogfish Head - basic
Bell's - basic
This is a good selection for a convenience store but not for a beer store.

I stopped by North Coast on my way into town for a football game. It is very convenient just a few blocks off of 90 coming/leaving Cleveland to the West.
The store is somewhat small with the wine selection being a little bigger than the beer selection. Craft brew was about half of the beer section with macro's taking up the other half. The majority of the craft beer was in coolers.
There were what appeared to be random selections from Alesmith, Weyerbacher, Southern Tier, Buckeye Brewing, Brooklyn, Great Lakes, Bells, North Coast, plus several others. Not sure how rare some of these are in the Cleveland area but it was a great find for someone from IL who can't get the majority of these beers. If I was local and these beers are more common I might drop the selection to 3.5 since they only offered a few beers from each brewery (I assume due to lack of space). They had seasonals also as I picked up the Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin. I suggest you look behind the first beer in the singles/bomber cooler because I found many different beers that were not visible from the front. The prices seemed reasonable.
The service was very good. Once the man behind the counter saw me stockpiling bombers he went into the back and offered me selections that just arrived that day that he hadn't had time to stock yet. He also asked if there was anything specific I was looking for that he could order for me until he realized that I was from out of town.
Overall, this was a nice stop. I highly recommend it for anyone in the area.

This place is the west side version of Warehouse Beverage, only a bit smaller. They carry many of the same, better known craft and microbrews that Warehouse Beverage carries including offerings from Stone, Unibroue, Bell's, Samuel Adams, Ommegang, Sierra Nevada, Great Lakes, New Holland, Rogue, Samuel Smith and Corsendonk just to name a few. They carry all of the Great Lakes and Stone seasonals when in season (at least the Stone ones that are distributed in this region of Ohio). I have friends and family on the west side. I also used to work on the west side and will be again starting this fall so I will continue to stop in this joint from time to time. Very good beer selection, especially considering the size of this store. Well over half their beers are in coolers too, unlike Warehouse Beverage. The prices to me at least are not any more expensive than any other beverage store I have been to in the Cleveland area. This store also has a nice selection of wine for you wine lovers out there. The staff is friendly and chatty and are always happy to make a recommendation (and its always a good one). If you live on Cleveland's west side or will be passing through there, check this place out.

This was a hunch. While in Cleveland for a weekend wedding I drove past this place. On my own time I went back on the hunch (and from previous experience) that places that sell wine often sell individual (by the bottle or 6) beers.
My BA radar was right. What a little gem this is! Manny (one of the owners/managers) was very nice and offered many suggestions. The selection is great. At least 1/2 to 2/3's of a wall cooler is devoted to craft beers by the pack. A sepertate stand alone cooler had individual bottles (from 12oz to 750's) of a variety of harder to find beers in this part of the country (Stone, Unibroue, Sammy Smith, Belgian imports, etc). Prices were reasonable. An added plus is that, thanks to their suggestion, I was directed right down the street (literally) to the Warren Tavern for a great BA lunch.
If you live in/near Cleveland, check em' out, then go get a Reuben at the Warren Tavern.

North Coast is a lot of beer for the small little store. Coming from a land void of Stone Brewing beers (Illinois) I was happy to see their selection was decent. They also had a few other local/east coast brews that I can't find in Illinois. It was nice that they had most of the beer in a cooler and not sitting on the floor like the AB products. The staff was helpful but didn't know a lot about beers just the names of what they had and didn't have. They have a little wine section and a humidor with a few decent cigars selection but nothing to get excited about.

This is a new shop, just a couple months old, but the owners seem to be really keen on increasing their selection and taking suggestions from customers. A must visit if you want to add your input to which beers they should carry.
All the beers are refrigerated. Not many singles, but a good, fresh selection of beers, and growing. The Belgium selection is also growing as well. Would like to see more bombers, but I'm sure it won't be long. Good to see another store interested in bringing good beer to the Cleveland area.

Add/Drop Request
Adding is defined as registering for an additional class by a currently enrolled student.
Dropping is defined as canceling a class from the schedule of a currently enrolled student after the first day of class.
If a student drops a course prior to the census date for the term, no record for the course is produced.
When a student wishes to add or drop a course, an Add/Drop form must be obtained from the component where the student is enrolled. The student must complete the form and secure the required signatures. The form is returned to the component's Student Affairs Office. Once the component has processed the form, the original is sent to the Office of the Registrar. The Office of the Registrar processes the form and sends a copy to the Office of Finance and Administration. The HSC Office of Finance and Administration processes the form and generates a bill or refund to the student as appropriate.
The Office of the Registrar must receive Add/Drop request forms by the date listed on the HSC's Academic Calendar.
International students must check with the Office of International Services before adding or dropping. Add/Drop action may adversely impact a student's legal immigration status in the United States.

An inspiring season comes to a conclusion in the Capital One Bowl, and you'll be shocked to find our previewers are of very different minds about whether it'll be a happy or sad ending.
Say whatever you like about the Bulldogs' performance in the best SEC Championship Game ever — but don't say they didn't show up.
It's the SEC Championship Game and a play-in for the national title, and the biggest game of the season obviously calls for the biggest Manic-Depressive Preview of the season, too.
It may be a time for fellowship and giving thanks, but as far as the Manic-Depressive Previewers are concerned, there's still Clean Old-Fashioned Hate in the air.
Will the Bulldogs be able to keep their focus on Georgia Southern any better than our previewers can?
Georgia survived a roller-coaster month, and now that ride is headed full speed for the Georgia Dome.
There's either an SEC East title or a land mine waiting for the Dawgs in Auburn this weekend. The Manic-Depressive Previewers try to decide which one it'll be.
You might think the triumph in Jacksonville would've brought our two previewers closer together. You would be wrong about that.
Sometimes winning ugly says more about a team than winning pretty ever could.
Fact is, the Georgia defense has underperformed this season. Shawn Williams recognized that it couldn't continue in Jacksonville.

Biggerstaff's site on PoA rumorsNews
January 09, 2003, 08:43 PM
SeanBiggerstaff.com had this to say regarding the circulating rumours that he's not slated for PoA:
We have received a number of inquires as to Sean and his position with the upcoming Prisoner of Azkaban movie. There have been rumours circulating that Sean will not be returning as Oliver Wood. Please understand that rumours are exactly that and are not based on facts.Precisely - rumours. And as some of us TLC editors have discussed offline, we sincerely hope this particular rumour turns out to be baseless. Oliver is extremely important to PoA Quidditch - and that means Sean is extremely important to PoA movie Quidditch - and we just ... hope the movie does not drop the Quidditch (though doing justice to the main Sirius/etc. story line is far more important, we realize. :-)
Unfortunetely we are unable to comment on Sean's talks regarding the filming and/or script.

In 1963, President John F. Kennedy saw the need for a national service corps to help combat poverty in urban and rural areas.
Kennedy's dream is exemplified today by the nearly 75,000 people who participate in AmeriCorps each year.
One of the three programs included in AmeriCorps is VISTA, or Volunteers in Service to America, which was founded in 1965.
Members of VISTA commit to a year of service at a nonprofit or local government agency. The aim of their projects is to building permanent infrastructure within the sponsor organizations.
VISTAs have been active in Walker County since 2009.
Paul Kennedy, president of the Walker Area Community Foundation, partnered with VISTA prior to coming to WACF in 2007 and was instrumental in bringing the program to the area.
"I thought it would be a good fit for the foundation and one more service that we could use to expand the capacity and reach of nonprofits in Walker County," he said.
Local organizations that have benefitted from the work of VISTAs include WACF, the Bankhead House and Heritage Center, Walker County Homeless Coalition, Walker County Arts Alliance, Walker County Nonprofit Council and the Walker County Health Providers Network as well as the cities of Cordova and Jasper.
"They (the organization) can develop greater outreach and build a solid base of volunteers to advance the mission of the host. It is often much-needed but not affordable by a small nonprofit or community," Kennedy said.
Last year, the number of VISTAs assigned to WACF grew from seven to 12 as a result of the April 27, 2011 tornadoes.
Kennedy said the Foundation requested and received permission from the Corporation for National Service to repurpose one of its VISTA slots for long-term recovery.
CNS later asked for local help in placing five more VISTAs in disaster recovery positions.
Amelia Trowbridge, who served as a VISTA for two years at the Arts Alliance and Nonprofit Council, was named Walker County's first VISTA team leader.
The city of Cordova currently has two VISTAs, Lauren Vance and Rachel Sparkman, helping with its recovery, and Karen Neupauer is working with the Walker County Long Term Recovery Committee.
WACF is also a host site for three VISTAS assigned to tornado-stricken areas in several surrounding counties.
In all, there are eight VISTAs currently at work in Walker County.
President Lyndon Johnson promised the first VISTAs that their pay would be low and the conditions in which they would be working would be difficult but "you will have the satisfaction of leading a great national effort and you will have the ultimate reward which comes to those who serve their fellow man."
VISTAS receive a modest living allowance, health care and other benefits. They also receive either an educational award or stipend upon completion of their service.
Kennedy said serving as a VISTA can be an eye-opening experience, especially to those who are seeking a "professional test drive."
For example, Neupauer came to Walker County last year to work on projects with the Mennonite Disaster Service and was recruited as a VISTA after showing an interest in learning more about the disaster recovery process.
"For the VISTA, it is a great opportunity to work with an organization, to feel a sense of purpose and to advance their resume," Kennedy said.

Our History
Now a verdant oasis with lawns, lagoons, pools and a shady palm-ringed grotto, this resort was no more than a trickling artesian well whose steaming water disappeared quickly into the parched ground of these desert foothills along the southern edge of present-day Desert Hot Springs. When a survey team of the US Army Camel Corps passed this way in 1907, there was little else to describe this location overlooking the Coachella Valley except for the two groves of native Washingtonian palms that flourished in the barren soil. And so it was that Two Bunch got its name.
From the cradle of time deep within the Coachella Valley Desert, the waters of health ascend through the geological fault at Miracle Hill and descend downward to nurture the oasis that is the legendary Two Bunch Palms Spa Resort. This life-sustaining artesian mineral well was prized by Native American tribes and archeological digs have uncovered historical village sites adjacent to the naturally occurring spring. This healing refuge has withstood the test of time and continues to be a retreat from the world where people shed their everyday burdens and enjoy the experience.
Throughout the years, many celebrities have come to Two Bunch Palms Spa Resort to shed the trappings of their fame while donning the simple life in our Two Bunch robe. Enticed by the magical allure of mineral waters, natural beauty and therapeutic relaxation, many have come to make their spiritual mark on Two Bunch Palms Spa Resort. While we continue to welcome any number of well-known guests, none are as notorious as the original "Scarface" himself, Al Capone.
Two Bunch Palms Spa Resort has had many owners, but all have understood that the mystique of Two Bunch Palms is fueled by the true essence of water, relaxation, beauty and simplicity. While our famed mineral waters spring from the cradle of time, our current successes have been built by a steady progression of thoughtful improvements that enhance the legacy without sacrificing its character and reputation as being nature's spa and your oasis.

Busted! Media Matters' "False and Defamatory Charge"
Media Matters posted the following in the item's first paragraph:
Accuracy in Media (AIM) editor Cliff Kincaid has posted a "letter" on his America's Survival Inc. website that he claims to have received from Afghan ambassador Said Tayeb Jawad. The "letter" thanks Kincaid for sending a petition to the ambassador calling for the extradition of Newsweek investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff to Afghanistan. But the "letter" from the ambassador, which makes reference to "the over six hundred supporters" who purportedly signed petitions calling for Isikoff's extradition, bears all the hallmarks of a do-it-yourself, cut-and-paste job.
By putting quotation marks around the word letter, by saying the "letter" was one that "he claims to have received," and by asserting that it "bears all the hallmarks of a do-it-yourself, cut-and-paste job," the implication from Media Matters could not be more clear: Kincaid posted a bogus letter. Another paragraph also analyzes the formatting (i.e., html, gif) of the letter.
The truth? Less than one day later, Kincaid posted scanned images (.pdf) of the actual letter and the actual envelope in which it was received. Kincaid also posted a public statement denouncing Media Matters for their "false and defamatory charge."
Media Matters' belief that the letter was bogus appears to be based on an HTML/"electronic collage" (MMFA's words) of the letter that Kincaid had originally posted. The actual letter contains Kincaid's home address, which he wished to redact. The webmaster "also converted the letter to HTML for easier reading" (Kincaid). Simple enough.
What's astonishing about their ugly attack, as Kincaid points out, is that Media Matters could have verified the authenticity of the letter with one simple phone call or correspondence. Instead, they simply went out and besmirched the guy!
This shameful episode reveals a vicious and callous nature of the people at Media Matters. It also obliterates any remaining shred of the organization's credibility.

If you're like me and didn't get a chance to fully appreciate Tuesday's Gold Cup action, you'll probably appreciate this handy-dandy highlight package of the United States' 2-0 win over Canada. Jozy Altidore had a couple nice moments, even beyond his goal, and Clint Dempsey showed some class on a couple occasions.
The real standout performance, though, belongs to Tim Howard. While a 2-0 may look comfortable on paper, Howard had to come up with several impressive saves to preserve the victory. Ali Gerba, in particular, had a couple great opportunities that Howard was able to turn aside.
It's also worth noting that the center back pairing of Tim Ream and Clarence Goodson looked solid, if unspectacular. Hopefully, their performance was good enough to convince coach Bob Bradley that Oguchi Onyewu is better off finding his form while with club than in Red, White and Blue. While Onyewu's physical presence may be missed, he's clearly off his game right now and Bradley needs to find better options.

Don't know if I need to micro-adjust until I try it out... Probably will, but you never know until you try.
