Oops -- got Lady Vols in trouble
The Lady Vols will have to report a minor violation to the NCAA because of a photo we published in our final edition on Sunday. The picture was of Coach Pat Summitt with just-committed recruit Meighan Simmons.
Schools are restricted on publicizing visits with recruits, so allowing the picture was a technical no-no. The shot actually originated with the Express-News in San Antonio, Texas, near where Simmons plays high school ball.
Sorry to have caused Coach Summitt an inconvenience, but I'm glad we could offer readers the photo.

Miguel Cabrera isn't a great defensive third baseman, but he isn't terrible either. What can we learn about his defense from the Inside Edge data?
The top 5 OF arms thus far in the 2010 season.
Continuing with the defensive metric theme of this weeks graphs, today we analyze the correlation between the Error component of UZR and unearned runs.
Expanding on yesterday's graph of the day, today we examine whether or not Range Factor correlates to defensive production any more than fielding percentage.
Fielding percentage is not a good statistic to use when valuing defensive contributions, as the sabermetric community well knows. Still, many people don't understand - not only is fielding...
Look at the defensive numbers for the 2008 National League Playoff Teams
Looked at defense of 5 players, Derek Jeter, Edgar Rentaeria, Jimmy Rollins, Miguel Tejada, and Orlando Cabrera that played shortstop from 2002 to 2008.
Sweet visual comparison of the best (Tampa Bay) and worst (Texas Rangers) defensive teams of 2008.
A look a how age affects the defensive abilities of infielders, broken down by position and componen skills - range, error rate, and turning double plays.
Will the Seattle Mariners' new outfield really improve the team? We take a graphical look at their chances.

NEW YORK, June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Montblanc honored acclaimed film producer Jane Rosenthal with the Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award at a private ceremony last night at the Stephan Weiss Studio in New York City to celebrate her passion and commitment for arts and culture.

Rosenthal joined the prestigious ranks of past Montblanc de la Culture winners, which include entertainment pioneers like Quincy Jones and Yoko Ono to philanthropic royals like HRH Charles Prince of Wales and Queen Sofia of Spain. Of the 12 annually participating countries, the 2014 recipients also include Paul Ruddock (United Kingdom,) Maria Flora Monini (Italy) and Steve & Chiara Rosenblum (France.)
For the past 23 years the Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award has celebrated the work of outstanding private patrons of the global arts community who are recognized for their committed and continuous philanthropic activism. "Since 1992 Montblanc has celebrated their rich heritage in supporting artists and cultural projects around the world," said Lutz Bethge, VP Chairman of the Montblanc Cultural Foundation. "It is crucial to recognize those who continue to enable the well-being of the arts and Montblanc is proudly welcomes Mrs. Rosenthal as a member of this celebrated group."
The Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award was established to honor and support individuals who have given exceptional time, energy, and funds to artists and their work. To be chosen, a winning patron has to demonstrate not only a history of personal commitment to the arts, but also a concern that the wider public should benefit as a result of that support. A jury of internationally renowned artists chooses 12 winners from a shortlist of 36 nominees.
This year the American jury was comprised of iconic fashion designer Prabal Gurung, publishing legend Christopher Forbes and prominent actor Anthony Mackie. The 2014 trio represents more than ever the style and culture that is at the heart of the Montblanc brand. Each jury member this year brought unique style, profound expertise and extensive experience in what it means to be a patron of the arts. Montblanc supports their collective decision to honor Ms. Rosenthal.
In 1988, Rosenthal co-founded Tribeca Productions and the Tribeca Film Center in the lower Manhattan neighborhood with actor Robert De Niro and has since used her acclaimed film production accreditation as a platform to bring visibility to otherwise underground and overlooked topics. Rosenthal has consistently dedicated her intellect and time towards this goal via the annual Tribeca Film Festival, which she organized in 2002 and has since developed into the most significant international event that introduces new filmmakers and films to audiences.
As part of the Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award, Rosenthal received 15,000€ that will be donated to Tribeca Film Institute to continue its growth and staging of altruistic filmmaking. In 2001, Rosenthal, De Niro and Craig Hatkoff, founded the Tribeca Film Institute, which Rosenthal and De Niro co-chair. TFI supports a diverse group of underrepresented filmmakers through grants and professional development programs such as Tribeca All Access. Additionally, TFI annually exposes 25,000 underserved students to socially relevant films, hands on training and educational programming as to help them learn filmmaking and gain the media skills necessary to be productive citizens and creative individuals in the 21st century.
In addition, Rosenthal received the Montblanc Patron of Art Edition 2014: Henry B. Steinway Limited Edition 888. The writing instrument commemorates the life and influence of Henry B. Steinway, the world's greatest piano building pioneer, who revolutionized the world of music and dedicated his life to the advancement of the arts.

Was very disappointed with the ring it looks like it can't from a quarter machine :(
I was so happy when the ring came in the mail and it looked even more beautiful than the picture.
This ring is not appropiate for a man's finger. It looked better on a female. Quality was thin and cheap. Plan to return!
I would recommend this product and this web site to anyone. Ive got 2 rings off overstock and had no problem what so ever.
I saw this on Overstock. My husband & I were married last year around this time. Buying matching bands were pretty much out of the question with money being scrace. This was the prefect answer. Coming right around our 1st anniverary. We could not be happier with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married on a budget. They are prefectly beautiful.

NEW YORK -- The Yankees gave Megan Ajello a wonderful surprise to begin her day on Thursday, and she helped return the favor by kicking off the team's afternoon on Saturday at Yankee Stadium.
Using her motorized wheelchair, the 17-year-old drove the ceremonial first pitch from the mound to home plate, drawing a cheer from the crowd as the baseball was delivered to Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli.
Ajello was honored on Thursday with a special visit by the team to her Staten Island lemonade stand as part of the Yankees' HOPE (Helping Others Persevere and Excel) Week.
She also helped first-base coach Mick Kelleher deliver the lineup card to the umpiring crew at home plate before Saturday's doubleheader, shaking hands with umpires Tim Welke, Mike Estabrook, Jim Reynolds and Mike DiMuro, before announcing, "Play ball," over the stadium's PA system.
Ajello suffers from cerebral palsy and scoliosis, fighting through six major surgeries, including a spinal fusion. Though bound to a wheelchair, Megan's disabilities have not prevented her from putting together a charity lemonade stand with her family every year since 2006.
"It's so easy to get caught up in the monotony and the urgency that we feel, but in reality, what's more important than this?" Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said on Thursday at Ajello's home. "People have real needs that are daily challenges. Not necessarily whether we get a trade done or whether we get our next hit or how we match up against an opposing team. This is real-life stuff."
This year, Ajello had hoped to raise $5,000 for Special Olympics; with the support of the Yankees' visit, Ajello was able to make an $11,000 donation to the charity.
The Yankees Foundation also donated an additional $5,000, as well as $5,000 to Ajello's school, the Seton Foundation for Learning in Grasmere, N.Y.
Yankees carpenters also constructed a new lemonade stand for Ajello, who received President Barack Obama's Volunteer Service Award in recognition of her efforts for charity.
"It gives her a sense of pride that she's able to do certain things herself and get all these people to come here that she knows and that are concerned for her," Megan's father, Daniel, said of the lemonade stand. "It's nice to see a lot of the people that you don't get to see as much, and kind of make them aware of what kids like Megan can motivate people to do."
Ajello's experiences were just one of five remarkable stories brought to light by HOPE Week, initiated in 2009 and rooted in the fundamental belief that acts of goodwill provide hope and encouragement to more than just the recipient of the gesture.
Girardi prepared for no deals as Deadline nears
NEW YORK -- As the Yankees continue to monitor the pitching market approaching the Trade Deadline, manager Joe Girardi seems prepared to pursue a championship with the group that he has.
The Yankees would love to add another arm in the rotation or the bullpen before 4 p.m. ET on Sunday, but nothing appears imminent, and Girardi offered a vote of confidence for his club as currently comprised.
"We've gotten to where we are with the guys in this room; that's the bottom line," Girardi said. "No, we're not in first place, but I believe we have the second-best record in the American League, and one of the better records in baseball."
New York entered play on Saturday 19 games over .500 at 61-42, 2 1/2 games behind the Red Sox for the AL East lead. Only Boston (64-40, .615) and the Phillies (66-39, .629) had higher winning percentages than the Bombers' .592.
They have shown some level of interest in the cast of starting pitchers being bandied about, including the Rockies' Ubaldo Jimenez, the Dodgers' Hiroki Kuroda and the Astros' Wandy Rodriguez, but general manager Brian Cashman has been publicly pessimistic of a deal being struck, not interested in parting with several high-level prospects.
Instead, Cashman has said that the Yankees will be hard-pressed to improve upon the additions they have made recently from their own disabled list. New York has restored Bartolo Colon, Phil Hughes, Eric Chavez and Rafael Soriano to the active roster, with Alex Rodriguez expected to be a couple of weeks behind them.
"This team has played very well with the guys that we have in this room," Girardi said. "Have we gotten big contributions from players we didn't necessarily expect? Yes, we have. But as far as trades, as I always talk about, my job is to manage the guys in that room and get the best out of them. And there's a lot of talent in that room."
Girardi said that he has been impressed by the resilience of the bullpen, which lost key contributors in Joba Chamberlain -- out for the year following Tommy John surgery -- as well as Soriano for two months, but has filled in without skipping much of a beat.
"The big thing for this club is staying healthy," Girardi said. "We've had some injuries that we've had to deal with, and we've lost a lot of guys in our bullpen. Guys have stepped up. If guys keep stepping up like they've been, we should be OK."

Fry lends voice to children's show
12:17am Monday 3rd February 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Stephen Fry is to star in a new animated children's TV show - playing a deer.
The QI host is voicing a character in forthcoming series Driftwood Bay, playing the aristocratic Lord Stag.
Also in the series to be screened on Nick Jr is Ardal O'Hanlon - famed for his role as Father Dougal in Channel 4 comedy Father Ted - and Annette Crosbie from One Foot In The Grave.
The pre-school show revolves around a five-year-old girl, Lily, who creates an imaginary world from items she finds washed up in the bay and features her family and the animals which live nearby.
Also in the cast for the series to be screened in May is Peter Mullan, who will play a sailor, Salty Dog, who regularly reels off his fantastic stories.
Known for his gritty roles, Peter said: "Any actor would give his right arm to be doing a series like Driftwood Bay.
"It's sweet, innovative, funny and gentle with a good heart and a great sense of collective responsibility.
"I've never done any voice work on animation so I thought this was a nice chance to do something that my children can actually see me in for a change."
Annette plays a wise cafe owner and Ardal plays a bull.
Colin Williams of UK production company Sixteen South, which made it, said: "Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine attracting a cast of this magnitude to Driftwood Bay.
"These incredibly talented people have taken our characters off the page and made them come alive in the most wonderful, creative way."
The series is set to be screened in several other countries and it will retain the same voices when it is screened in Australia and the US.

HINUNDAYAN, Southern Leyte, Dec. 24 (PIA) -- A massive swine fattening project that will involve hog-growing families all over the province was launched into action here Thursday, with twenty-two families as initial beneficiaries, each family getting five piglets.
The livestock project was pushed by a newly-formed non-government organization, the Southern Leyte Socio-Economic Development, Inc. (SOLSED) under its Market-led Integrated Agri-business Networking (MIAN) program.
Conressman Damian Mercado, the main proponent of the livelihood project who declared its formal launching during the ceremonies, led the guests attending the program at the town's gym, along with Gov. Roger Mercado, and Hinundayan Mayor Evelyn Lee.
Also attending the event were the local chief executives of the pacific area, several heads of national line agencies, municipal agriculture officers led by Provincial Agriculturist Marina Gador, SOLSED Board of Directors, and families of the first batch of beneficiaries.
In his brief talk, Cong. Mercado, fondly called Cong. Mian, emphasized that funding for the swine raising project came from private sources, not government funds, hence those who availed must exert extra efforts for the success of the venture.
"Help us succeed by faithfully caring for the piglets. Do not waste away our trust in you. These efforts are for your very own benefits, not ours," Cong. Mian said in bisaya.
He challenged the Hinundayan beneficiaries to become successful models for other towns, as the project will be expanded sooner to all the other 17 municipalities and one city.
He also said that marketing of the full-grown pigs, estimated to happen by April 2014, will not be a problem as SOLSED will be the one to them at a price higher than the prevailing market price.
Gov. Mercado, for his part, threw his full support to the project, calling it "a very intelligent move" to transform the province's image from being a net consumer of meat to a producer and eventually an exporter to other areas of the country.
A ceremonial turn-over of piglets and their actual distribution capped the day's activity. (esg/mmp, PIA8-Southern Leyte)

Back on Oct. 8, 2012, the St. Louis Cardinals hosted a playoff game against the Washington Nationals. In this game, Carlos Beltran hit a home run in the sixth inning to push the Cardinals' lead to 8-3.
Why are you reading this? Because here's a piece of trivia: That's the same Nationals/Cardinals game that is still going on this very minute. I'm assuming it's Oct. 14, 2023, and we have flying cars now. One of these days, I'll go outside and ride in one.
Which is all an elaborate way of saying, damn, this game is taking forever.
But it's not without its finer points, though. With a runner on first and no outs, Bryce Harper doubled, giving the Nationals a little hope. And Matt Holliday played a game-within-a-game with Bryce Harper: a game of rookie/veteran.
Rookies take unnecessary risks and go from second to third when they don't need to.
Veterans play rope-a-dope and bounce their throws to the cutoff man, hoping to goad overly aggressive rookies into making a mistake.
Now that's a wily veteran move. Also: lol. Harper was gunned out on a weird and unfortunate quasi-double play, and the rally died. This was what Raul Ibanez was trying to do all along, everybody.

BMW selects Preh to supply HEV battery management system
The high-voltage battery in the BMW ActiveHybrid 5 supplies 320 volts nominal, which is constantly stressed through energy consumption (electric driving), energy recovery (braking), and during charging. The individual cells charge at different rates, depending on the degree of aging and the manufacturing tolerance of the cells. The different charge states are equalized by a passive balancing system. This requires continuous monitoring of cell voltage and temperature by Cell Supervising Sensor Units and processing of the data by a Battery Management Unit, both developed by Preh.
During passive balancing, the charge of all cells is adjusted by specifically discharging them to the level of the cell with the lowest charge. In this way, the charging of the entire battery is done uniformly and optimal battery performance is achieved.

hey my dads got a total gym (one of those slidey things that lift your own weight).
i quite my gym about 2months due to lack of money and i am starting to get a little chuby and muscle is goin lean.
I am not bothered about gaining muscle, i just want to tone my body up, hard flat chest and stuff. Will the total gym help me achieve this?
Any sort of weighted excersise will give you results, just make sure that your Diet is in check. If you were eating the same amount of calories when you stopped working out, thats why you were gaining fat...along with muscle being broken down. Keep the protein high, fats low and calories in the right range and you can get your results.
If you don't want to gain muscle, and just want to "tone up", all you need to do is cardio and most importantly a good diet.

Winter will be here soon, and with our early an arctic blast, WNCN meteorologist Bill Reh talks about what kind of winter is in store for the Triangle.
Surprising a lot of people here in the Triangle are hoping to see some snow this winter.
"We are very excited and we hope we are going to have a winter this year because we didn't have any snow really, it didn't seem that last year was much of a winter," said Trisha Harill of Raleigh.
But weather can be tricky to predict.
"Unfortunately, this year we really don't have any good forecasts for what's going to happen this coming winter, largely because there's no strong El Niño or La Nina, so we are going into this winter with a little more uncertainty that we might otherwise have," said State Climatologist Ryan Boyles.
The National Climatic Center use long range models of the atmosphere and ocean temperatures to try and predict average weather for a season. Weather patterns that can indicate a specific period of cold wintry weather are only reliable for up to a week, maybe two.
"Now, what that means is we are still going to have periods where it's warm and periods where it gets cold but the overall average over the course of the winter is more likely to be dry and we really don't know what the temperatures are going to be like," said Boyles.

Staging NBA All-Star Game Entertainment No Easy Feat
For basketball fans, few things can beat the excitement of the annual NBA All-Star Game. This year, however, the February event at Philips Arena in Atlanta offered a lot more than just basketball. The weekend also included the fan interactive Jam Session, the All-Star Saturday Night skills events, and the Read to Achieve Celebration, which boasted celebrities such as Justin Timberlake, LL Cool J, and Shaquille O'Neal. While the game itself was obviously the weekend's centerpiece, it also featured plenty of musical performances and more than a few staging challenges, as a result. Among the performers on the basketball court turned stage during the pre-game, halftime, and postgame concerts were Mariah Carey, Kool and the Gang, the Village People, Gladys Knight, Martina McBride, and Gloria Reuben.
NBA officials point out that live entertainment is more than just window dressing for a high-profile basketball game — it's meant to turn the game into "basketball theater," according to Kevin Dobstaff, director of production for NBA Entertainment. "We're combining the best elements of a concert and a basketball game and trying to jam it all into an arena," he explains.
Stage and Light
Having a concert meant having a portable stage at the venue — a stage that could move easily on and off the court without interfering with the basketball game. Designing the stage used this year was the responsibility of scenic designer Mike Swinford of UpLate Design, Hermitage, Tenn. "We usually use separate sets for the events on Saturday and Sunday," Swinford explains. "This year, we wanted to combine everything into one corner of the arena, so we utilized an area near one of the vomitories to erect the stage," he notes.
Swinford's stage was a hybrid of fabricated and pre-fabricated decking units. "They wanted every possible square inch of space available in the area, so we had to make some custom decking that we used in conjunction with some of the arena's Stage Right decking," he explains. "Then I made a number of custom plugs and pieces so we could utilize every square inch."
Color Kinetics iColor units illuminated the stage, which also featured a removable 32ft. ramp. Swinford also used the Color Kinetics units as vertical scenic pieces upstage, to the right and left of the player's entrance.
"They are basically 8ft. fluorescent tubes that are chock full of LEDs," Swinford explains. "The tube is totally DMX-controlled, so you can have 16 million colors come out of the tube, and you can control the color every foot."
The lighting package, however, went a lot further than those located on the stage.
"This year, we put in more Vari-Lites than we've ever used before," comments Dobstaff. "We used them theatrically, as eye candy." He adds that the Vari-Lite tally came in around 200, primarily VL7 and VL 2416 units, provided by VLPS, Orlando, Fla.
The Vari-Lites were scattered around the building, either on the floor, in the concourse tunnels, or on a truss. "It took a lot of extra time to hang trusses under seats and to get our lights down so they'd be in the picture," notes staging supervisor/technical director Larry Sedwick. "Usually, we rig the Vari-Lites over the vomitories, but they didn't have any voms in that area," he adds.
The Vari-Lites were only half of the lighting picture. This year, the NBA decided to light the game floor using 500 PAR cans, rather than using the house lighting system.
"We were able to have dimmable control over the conventional lighting during the entertainment portions of the show, which is something you don't really have with the metal halide lamps in the venue," explains Dobstaff. "By adding the PAR cans, we had complete theatrical control from a lighting perspective."
Because the main purpose of the venue was to host a basketball game, obviously, there was no space available for gear on the floor. "All our dimmers and amp racks had to go in the ceiling, and all the power had to be up there," explains Sedwick, who adds that the Philips Arena's modern design helped ease this complication. "The arena is relatively new and has power in the ceiling, which was great," he adds.
Audio Augmentation
To complete the basketball theater experience, Dobstaff augmented the venue's sound system with eight additional line array clusters, courtesy of ProMix in Mt. Vernon, N.Y.
"We basically put in additional JBL Vertec line array clusters to supplement the house system," he explains. The audio was controlled at a front-of-house position in the lower bowl, a sound-isolated TV mix position, and a monitor-mix position near the stage.
There was also substantial audio preproduction involved in the project, as well. "Everything we do is live vocals to tracks," explains Dobstaff. Consequently, something seemingly as straightforward as player introductions, which could not be timed down to the second, might seem simple, but they weren't.
"We took part of Kool and the Gang's hit 'Celebration' as an instrumental bed, and after the first 1:30 of their live vocal performance, we were able to cue it into a loop as a bed for our announcer to introduce the Western Conference team," says Dobstaff. "We took it out of loop for the second live vocal verse, then went back into the instrumental loop to introduce the Eastern Conference team. Using the [360 Systems] DigiCart [Ethernet-based audio recorder], we could cue between the live vocal sections and the instrumental loop seamlessly. It was more complicated than anyone would realize, taking five different music cues."
Dobstaff adds that the preproduction work for the segment was done in New York at Pilot Recording, using Pro Tools.
Putting it Together
This year there were 15 trucks of gear used for the production, and the load-in took three full days. With the game on Sunday, rehearsals started on Wednesday. During those days, the crew (including about 100 local stagehands) worked the venue from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., tweaking the intricacies of the show, with the goal being to "entertain the fans every single time there is no basketball being played," says Dobstaff.
For many people, the halftime portion of the show was the highlight because it included a musical tribute to basketball legend Michael Jordan by Mariah Carey, who performed her second and third songs on a 16ft. stage at center court.
"Everything that we do, we either have in small pieces that can be broken apart really quickly with a lot of stagehands, or we figure out a way it can live there," reports Dobstaff. The center court stage, obviously, had to move to accommodate the basketball game. It was broken down into eight pieces, and put together at center court, accompanied by four 61in. plasma screens on custom stands. "Between lighting, sound, and scenic, about 50 pieces went out," including a ramp from the corner stage to center court, confirms Swinford.
Detailed rehearsals and hard work from the large local crew made the halftime show come off as scheduled. "When you have 2:30 to do a change, everyone has to handle one thing one time — you can't go back and get something else," Sedwick points out.
The halftime preparations also included 30 seats and 20in. flat panel screens for the players to rely on, since they couldn't see the Jumbotron. After Carey's performance, the crew was given just 5 minutes to clear the floor while the players returned to the locker rooms, but "we were actually able to strike everything off the basketball floor in that time," Dobstaff says proudly.
In 2004, the All-Star Game will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and Dobstaff's team is already planning for that event.
"I fully expect that next year will be very star-studded, along the lines of 'the NBA comes to Hollywood,'" Dobstaff says.
No matter how elaborate the event might get, though, Sedwick promises "we'll figure out how to make it all work."

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Sadly, when many people today think of Twisted Sister, they don't think of one of the greatest Heavy Metal bands to ever get the blood flowing and the fists pumping. After one listen to this album, however, they'd quickly change their opinions.Twisted Sister's "Live At Hammersmith" was recorded in 1984 at the Hammersmith Odeon in England. It was at the height of their popularity, following the release of 1984's "Stay Hungry," which provided the band with three (count 'em, three) MTV videos and hit singles.This album stands out for a number of reasons. It's incredibly heavy. Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda's guitar work will blow you away, while Mark Mendoza's bass and A.J. Pero's drums will rock you to your soul. And Dee Snider's vocals will tear your speakers in two. Aside from great musicianship on great songs like "Burn in Hell," "S.M.F.," "Destroyer," "What You Don't Know (Sure Can Hurt You)," and "Under the Blade", the interaction between the band and the fans is unbelievable. One thing that seperates this live album from a slew of others is the fact that Dee will just sit and talk with the fans, get them riled up, etc. Another great thing is that it's two discs long. That's double the metal mayhem for any diehard Metalhead or rock lover. What more could you ask for?Covering tunes from Twisted Sister's first three albums (including the song that I consider to be their best, "You Can't Stop Rock and Roll") and two cover songs recorded live in Detroit in '79, "Live At Hammersmith" will have you headbanging away before you even realize it.
This is a truly great live album.Every song is cool, especially 'I wanna rock', 'were not gonna take it' and 'You cant stop rock and roll'The musicianship is great, but it is the sheer energy of frontman and shock rock god Dee Snider that really makes this album stand out.This album has shows what a great band Twisted Sister were (there a lot of rumours about a reunion), particularly live. Why is it that today's shock rock bands like Maralyn Manson don't seem to be able to shock people without acting depraved?. Twisted sister always managed it, just watch the video to 'were not gonna take it', nothing twisted, just a great shock rock video."…and when you tell me you don't like the way I play, there's only one thing I can say to you, I WANNA ROCK!"
Even though I've had two cassette bootlegs of the band way back when,I was still more than happy to land down a copy of this live release.I don't care what others have to say about 'Live At Hammersmith',I think it's great.BUT,let me make it very clear that this 2-CD is for dedicated Sister fans only.You need not be a diehard,but AT LEAST realize this IS a home-like recording that most major record companies wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.Good work,CMC!As the label has put out PLENTY of desirable CD titles.Runs about 87 minutes,total as Dee Snider and crew rip through fourteen TS classics,like "Stay Hungry","Destoyer","You Can't Stop Rock&Roll","Shoot 'Em Down"(my personal TS fave),the thirteen-minute "I Wanna Rock" among others.Tagged on are two ultra-rarities.A couple of covers the band had played at a 1979 Detroit club gig,"Jail House Rock" and the Yardbird's "Train Kept A Rollin'".A nice find.Cool cover.

COEUR d'ALENE, Idaho - A mother accused of leaving her children along a busy interstate has been extradited to Kootenai County to face charges.
27-year-old Shannon Germanton (Duval) was transported to the Kootenai County jail to face two felony counts of injury to child. Germanton was arrested in Spokane and transferred from the Spokane County Jail earlier this month.
Germanton is awaiting a preliminary hearing on the charges. Investigators say Germanton, 27, left her two young sons alone on the side of Interstate 90 between 6:30 and 7:30 Tuesday morning October 30th at the Washington-Idaho state line.
Her sons, ages 3 and 6, were found on the side of the busy road sitting in the grass by a construction worker around 9am that Tuesday morning. According to Post Falls police, Germanton was seen with her children at a Wal-Mart in Post Falls Monday evening, October 29th, around 8pm.
Employees called police because they believed Germanton was acting "strange." When police arrived at Wal-Mart, police say they found Germanton in a bathroom with a gas can and her two children.
Germanton allegedly told police she had run out of gas and was filling up the gas can to bring to her car. Police say Germanton refused any help and said she had a friend coming from Spokane to assist her and her children. Police later left the Wal-Mart after they determined she was okay.
According to Kootenai County deputies, the boys told them their mother had run out of gas Tuesday morning and had gone for help. The boys told investigators that their mother had walked them to that location while it was still dark and raining. Germanton's sons were checked out by paramedics, they determined the boys were ok then released them in to the custody of child services.
On the night of October 30th, police received an anonymous tip that Shannon Germanton (Duval) was at a home in Spokane. When police arrived at the home Germanton was arrested for an outstanding traffic warrant.

Broadway Lighting Master Classes speaker Don Holder has been nominated for a Tony Award for Best Lighting Design of a Musical for Ragtime.
Holder has received numerous Tony Award nominations, winning for the Lincoln Center Theatre revival of South Pacific in 2008, and for Disney's The Lion King in 1998, for which he also won the Drama Desk Award.
"Working on the revival of Ragtime was a wonderful experience, and talk about 'the circle of life,' says Holder. "I was very much in the midst of The Lion King back in '96-'97 when the original production of Ragtime first opened, and I never really appreciated how glorious a musical it was until I began to immerse myself in the material in preparation for lighting the show last spring. I found the experience quite liberating, because I was encouraged by the director, Marcia Milgram Dodge, to eschew naturalism in favor of crafting a poetic, emotional landscape. Derek McLane's elegant and towering set was a real challenge to light, but it also accepted light beautifully and gave me incredible opportunities to respond to the depth of emotion expressed by Ragtime's magnificent score through the use of broad and bold operatic strokes. It was one of those rare productions where I couldn't wait to get back in the theatre each day to hear the music, experience the story, and to keep making the work better and better."
In his session at the BLMC, LED versus Tungsten: To Lead or be LED? (Tuesday, May 25), Holder takes an in-depth and hands-on look at the use of LEDs as an alternate to traditional tungsten-halogen sources. "Using the most advanced LED technology available," he says, "we will perform an analysis of two identical stage pictures: one using all LED sources, one using only tungsten halogen. The side-by-side comparison should clearly illustrate the differences and advantages/disadvantages of each."

The broad base of knowledge and well-rounded experience you get at JPS gives you the flexibility to choose what type of medicine you practice and where. By graduation, residents are certified in ACLS, ATLS, NRP, PALS, and ALSO, and Advanced Wilderness Life Support is available. These are just some of the areas and procedures in which you can look forward to exceptional training:
Underserved PopulationsJPS Health Network is located in the inner-city of the Fort Worth-Dallas Metroplex and is the only health network in Tarrant County dedicated to caring for medically vulnerable populations. From day one, you will be an integral part of our teams' efforts to care for those that need us most.
Rural MedicineWith so many people relying on them for medical care, rural physicians have to be ready for anything. At JPS, our rural medicine training program is recognized as one of the best in the country. You'll learn to handle internal medicine, ICU, emergency medicine, procedures, orthopedics and obstetrics with complete confidence. Plus, residents routinely rotate through several small Texas communities with JPS alumni. It's this kind of real-world experience that sets JPS (and our alumni) apart.Global MedicinePracticing medicine on a global scale comes with its own unique set of challenges and opportunities. On a given day, you might practice everything from first aid to obstetrics to emergency medicine. That's why the training you receive at JPS is designed to help you be ready for anything. Doctors looking to specialize in global medicine have the opportunity to treat refugees from around the world in our International Health Clinic. Additionally, the Global Health Fellowship is available to residents seeking further training opportunities for careers in international or travel medicine. On top of the global health curriculum at JPS, residents may select international rotations with JPS faculty members in such diverse locations as Israel, Ghana, Thailand, Haiti and Central and South America.Adult Medicine & Critical CareMany residents consider adult medicine and critical care to be one of the best experiences. This is because JPS helps our residents obtain the confidence to diagnose and care for a diverse population with a variety of diseases rarely seen outside a public hospital. Residents also care for continuity patients alongside family medicine faculty on the family medicine inpatient teams.ObstetricsOne of the hallmarks of the JPS Family Medicine Residency Program is maternity care. Historically, graduates practice OB without a fellowship. Operative obstetrics is emphasized in the 4-year maternal-child, rural and international medicine tracks. Residents with this focus perform over 100 caesarean sections. PediatricsWant to work with children? Start here. Over the years, pediatrics has become one of the strengths of our program. Our residents do rotations at both Children's Medical Center of Dallas and Cook Children's in Fort Worth – two of the top pediatric hospitals in the world. The inpatient and emergency medicine rotations are some of the most popular resident experiences.
Sports MedicineAt JPS, we introduce all our family medicine residents to sports medicine because we know this type of treatment is useful far beyond the playing field. Sports medicine training gives our residents the opportunity to examine, diagnose and treat common musculoskeletal pathology under more extreme conditions than you would generally find in a primary care facility. This means you'll learn the skills to get players back in the game, put workers back on the job and get the elderly back on their feet.
Residents receive comprehensive, hands-on training for the examination and treatment of athletes at a variety of facilities and attend lectures by sports medicine physicians. Additionally, JPS works with a variety of athletic programs and organizations in the Fort Worth area, and serves as the team physicians for TCU
GeriatricsAll JPS residents receive robust training in geriatric medicine, including the opportunity to complete a fourth year of advanced training. Through home visits and nursing home experiences, our residents care for our elderly population in a variety of settings.

The Power Ministry expressed difference to the finding of CAG report on Ultra Mega Power Projects where it alleged a financial benefit of Rs 29,033 crore to Anil Ambani-led Reliance Power over 20 years.
"It is stated that the cost and tariff of two projects cannot be compared as the tariff would vary with the capital employed in the project, the size of the project and the technology used," the Ministry said in a statement.
The nodal Ministry is the opinion that the contentious issue of surplus coal has been dealt in detail by eGoM and need not be re-looked. The eGoM also sought legal view from Attorney General of India before reaching a consensus.
Power Ministry stands by the eGoM decision of April 24 that says the permission given for the use of surplus coal of Sasan coal blocks to Chitrangi project need not be withdrawn.
"CAG was informed of the eGOM decision and all relevant papers including the legal opinion were sent. CAG has not taken cognizance of all these relevant facts in its final report," it added.
Clarifying on non-following bidding norms, the Ministry said the evaluation committees were headed by independent experts such as Deepak Parekh for Sasan; for E. Shridharan for Krishnapatnam; S.S. Kohli for Mundra and Shunglu Tilaiya projects.
Power Ministry said that it would consider CAG findings while it notifies standard bidding documents for the 12th Five Year Plan products.

Day 1 - 2 — Depart U.S., Arrive Minster Lovell, England
Hidden away along the meandering River Windrush, Minster Lovell is a lovely Oxfordshire village that has changed little since medieval times. A cluster of limestone and thatch cottages occupy the heart of the village, while evidence of old woolen mills can be found on the banks of the river, as can the ruins of Minster Lovell Hall, a 15th-century manor home haunted by a mysterious history. Upon arrival, check into the quaint OLD SWAN & MINSTER MILL boutique hotel and join your traveling companions for a Welcome Reception. (R)
Day 3 — Cotswolds Villages
Visit the picturesque northern Cotswolds villages, which embrace the time-honored traditions of the English countryside.
Stow-on-the-Wold is a delightful market town that stands on a 700-foot-high hill at a junction of seven major roads, including the ancient Roman Fosse Way, the first great Roman road in Britain. The town was founded as a planned marketplace by Norman lords to take advantage of trade on the converging roads and, at the height of the Cotswolds wool industry, the town was famous for its huge annual fairs where as many as 20,000 sheep were sold at one time. Narrow-walled alleyways called "tunes" were built to funnel sheep into the market square, which is still lined by an elegant array of Cotswold town houses.
Chipping Campden is the perfect example of a well-preserved, prosperous medieval village, where undulating, weather-beaten roofs cap amber-hued houses, and mullioned windows overlook the picturesque 15th-century parish church, and 17th-century almshouses and market hall.
Simply beautiful, Broadway is often referred to as the "Jewel of the Cotswolds" and was the home of William Morris, leading figure of the revival of craftsmanship in the second half of the 19th century. Its main road is lined with honey-colored limestone buildings dating back to the 16th century.
In Burford, the great Church of St. John the Baptist is a medley of architectural styles providing a flourish to the village's main passage down to the River Windrush.
This evening in the hotel, join residents of the Cotswolds for dinner and to discuss daily life during the exclusive TOWN & COUNTRY FORUM™. (B,D)
Day 4 — Highclere Castle
One of the oldest villages in the Cotswolds, Bampton retains its traditional Oxfordshire character despite its more recent fame as the filming location for village scenes in the popular television series Downton Abbey airing on PBS's MASTERPIECE. See the most recognizable landmarks along picturesque Church View Lane—the 12th-century Romanesque Church of St. Mary the Virgin, the Elizabethan library and Churchgate House (Lady Crawley's house).
Recognized worldwide as Downton Abbey in the eponymous award-winning television series, beautiful Victorian Highclere Castle has been the home to the royal Carnarvon family since 1679 and features 1000 acres of spectacular parkland. Inside the castle, see the richly decorated state rooms, including the leather-walled saloon and impressive library. (B)
Day 5 — Blenheim Palace/Oxford
Meet Lord Charles Spencer-Churchill at Blenheim Palace and tour Britain's largest private residence, among the most monumental edifices ever constructed in the British Isles, and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Built in the 18th century for John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough, as a reward for military bravery at the Battle of Blenheim, the estate is now home to the 11th and current Duke of Marlborough. Beyond the extraordinary labyrinth of opulent hallways and chambers, the estate's grounds are spread over a bucolic 2,200-acre park designed by the legendary English landscape architect "Capability" Brown. Enjoy a private lunch in the elegant Marlborough Room. Afterwards, continue to the nearby village of Bladon where Sir Winston Churchill lies buried in a modest grave alongside his beloved wife.
Continue to legendary Oxford and check into the lovely OXFORD SPIRES FOUR PILLARS HOTEL. (B,L)
Day 6 — Oxford
Affectionately named the "city of dreaming spires," by adoring poets, Britain's oldest university counts Margaret Thatcher, Sir Thomas More and J.R.R. Tolkien among its illustrious alumni. Steeped in eight centuries of history and erudition, Oxford still nurtures great scholars while blending its ancient traditions with cutting-edge research and instruction provided by many of the world's brightest minds. Stroll the magnificent cobblestoned squares, medieval alleyways and Renaissance quadrangles that fill the grounds of the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Visit the Ashmolean Museum, Exeter College chapel and Trinity College. Learn more about daily student life during the specially arranged lecture. (B)
Day 7 — Oxford, Jane Austen's House
Step into the life of one of England's most important novelists on the optional excursion to experience Jane Austen's England. In the tiny village of Steventon, see the rectory where Austen was born. Tour her 17th-century house in Chawton, where she lived her last eight years and wrote and revised the majority of her work. Finally, visit Winchester Cathedral, where the Mighty Jane is buried. (B)
Day 8 — Oxford
Walk beyond the old city wall of Oxford and enjoy a stroll on the River Thames as punts and rowing boats glide along the tranquil waters. See the historic Iffley Lock and visit the 12th-century, Romanesque St. Mary's church with its lovely stained glass Nativity window. The remainder of the day is at leisure to further explore Oxford.
Tonight, enjoy a specially arranged Farewell Dinner in one of Oxford's colleges. (B,D)
Day 9 — Oxford, London, U.S.
Transfer to Canterbury for the Post-Program Option or to London for your flight home. (B)

Natural Parenting › Natural Parenting Forums › Family & Home › Book Club › Book Club 1# Buddhism for Mothers by Sarah Napthali › Re: Book Club 1# Buddhism for Mothers by Sarah Napthali
I read it a little while ago, so it's not completely fresh in my mind – sorry!
BUT I loved it too. I think I said this before, but it didn't read like a 'parenting' book to me, more of a self-help book for women who happen to be mothers and therefore facing specific challenges in their lives. I think that's part of what I enjoyed about it, it was about improving my relationship with my children by focusing on ME – what a refreshing change!
It's a book I think I'll buy a some point because on the bad days, I want to refer back to it and remember to be an observer of my emotions rather than investing in them.
I just picked up Buddhism for Mothers of Young Children at the library, and I'm keen to see what else she has to add..
It's definitely sparked my interest in Buddhism and I'd like to keep learning about this tradition (although I've done nothing towards this yet!)

In Evansville on Saturday, a little girl is taken to the hospital after an accident involving a car. It happened just before 4 p.m. near the intersection of Washington and Kentucky Avenue.
A Kentucky Avenue business owner tells us that's a busy intersection and he says with all the traffic those streets can be dangerous, especially for kids.
"It just freaked me out to the point where, I'm still shaking," said Everett Nunn, Owner, Everett Scissor Hands. "It was a nightmare."
Nunn, who owns a barber shop on Kentucky Avenue , says he was cutting hair Saturday afternoon when he heard a woman scream.
"I heard, 'you hit my baby," said Nunn.
Nunn says he then ran out to help a little girl, who we're told is around five or six years old.
"I didn't really want to move her. I told her to be still," said Nunn.
Sergeant Lonnie Rahm with the Evansville Police Department says a mother was leading two kids across the street - not at the crosswalk.
"A little bit further down, there was a gentleman driving a car which ran into a child," said Sgt. Rahm.
Rahm says officers and fire officials applied first aid to the girl who was then taken to Deaconess Hospital.
"The child was alert and conscious at the time," said Sgt. Rahm.
Saturday afternoon, police were on Kentucky Avenue reconstructing the scene, trying to figure out what exactly happened.
Everett tells us there are a lot of businesses and children in the area. Police warning both pedestrians.. and drivers to be extra cautious out on the road.
"Crossing at intersections, looking both ways. That certainly does help," said Sgt. Rahm:
"Watch out for these kids because I mean it could happen to anybody's kids," said Nunn
Rahm says officials aren't sure whether the little girl was run over or struck by the car. We're told she suffered an injury to one of her arms.

A couple of years ago, it was bothering me that so many of my colleagues seemed to think that Omar Vizquel belonged in the Hall of Fame. It seemed to me that it's almost impossible to make the case that Vizquel was actually a great player -- which seems sort of like something you want in a Hall of Famer -- and in fact the Most Valuable Player voters, essentially the same people who vote for the Hall of Fame, never considered Vizquel a great player. In his incredibly long career, Vizquel showed up in the MVP balloting exactly ONCE: in 1999, when he finished 16th. Just ahead of Matt Stairs, John Jaha, and B.J. Surhoff.
If Vizquel were to be elected, he would be the Hall of Famer with the least Most Valuable Player support. By a lot.
Which is neither here nor there, perhaps. I don't mean to suggest that Hall of Fame voters should care much about a player's Most Valuable Player support, because Most Valuable Player voters make mistakes. Big mistakes, sometimes. I just think it's intellectually inconsistent to assert for many years that a player is not great, and then suddenly assert that he was, indeed, great for all those years. I think that as Vizquel continued to play shortstop, and play it well, into his late 30s and early 40s, the baseball writers were simply amazed by Vizquel. And since they couldn't really think of another to express their amazement, they turned to the Hall of Fame.
So I invented something: The Wing of Amazing, which is just slightly more imaginary than the mythical writers' and broadcasters' "wings" in the Hall of Fame. And my first nominee was Omar Vizquel (although in retrospect, I'm not sure he actually belongs). Later, and for more-obvious reasons, I nominated Jamie Moyer (here) even before he pitched in the majors at 50, Jim Abbott, and finally Bo Jackson.
That was almost two years ago. I've always meant to nominate more players, but somehow I just never got around to it ... until now. I've been inspired by a) my blank screen, and b) Robert Allen Dickey.
I would be shocked if you didn't already know The R.A. Dickey Story. But since this is a special occasion, I will recap ...
Dickey grew up in tough circumstances, and was sexually abused. He grew up to become an outstanding college pitcher, and was selected by the Texas Rangers in the first round of the amateur draft. Just before he signed a contract for a lot of money, the offer was withdrawn because the Rangers discovered that one of Dickey's elbow ligaments was missing. One of the important ones. About 14 years later, after ups and downs but mostly downs, and after becoming a completely different sort of pitcher, he made the major leagues for good. At that moment, if you were making a list of the 250 pitchers most likely to win a Cy Young Award in 2012, R.A. Dickey wouldn't have been on it. Then he wrote a really good book. Then he won the Cy Young Award in 2012, while relying on a pitch -- his angry knuckleball -- that, essentially, nobody had ever seen before.
If that's not amazing, I'm not sure what is.
There will be more nominees this winter, but for the moment I'd like you're opinion ... Does Omar Vizquel belong? His only qualifications, I think, are that he was an every-day shortstop at 40, and still a major leaguer at 45. You might argue that if Moyer's amazing because he was a 49-year-old starting pitcher, that Vizquel is amazing because he was a 45-year-old fielder, and that Julio Franco was amazing because he was a 48-year-old hitter.
But Franco's for another day. What do you think about Vizquel?

The San Antonio Spurs will attempt to avoid the same fate that struck a year ago when their first-round series in the 2012 NBA Playoffs begins against the Utah Jazz on Sunday. Last year, the Spurs entered as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference only to be upended by the hot, overachieving Memphis Grizzlies. This year, the Spurs are again No. 1 and again face a hot, overachieving club.
But Manu Ginobili is healthy, and that could be a huge difference.
Here's the series schedule as released by the NBA.
Game 1 - Sun., April 29 at San Antonio, 1 p.m., ESPN
Game 2 - Wed., May 2 at San Antonio, 7 p.m., TNT
Game 3 - Sat., May 5 at Utah, 10 p.m., TNT
Game 4 - Mon., May 7 at Utah, TBD
Game 5 - Wed., May 9 at San Antonio
Game 6 - Fri., May 11 at Utah
Game 7 - Sun., May 13 at San Antonio

VIDEO: Man taken to hospital after garage explosion
Updated 9:19am Wednesday 27th February 2013 in News By Alex Winter
A MAN was taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation after an explosion and fire at the garage of his home in Canford Heath.
Hotel chef Richard Howard, 50, was working on his Honda 650cc motorcycle in Mapperton Close when the incident took place late yesterday afternoon.
His wife Carole said: "We had just bought a gas fire with a bottle and believe there was a build-up. My husband was working on his bike in there. He told me all he knew was that there were flames on the floor."
Steve Gossling, who lives nearby, said: "I came out straight away. A fireball came flying out of the garage."
Shannon Tanner said: "We heard bangs and thought someone was trying to break in. We were told to shut all the windows. It was scary."
Poole Grammar School student Josh Samways, who lives nearby, went to take pictures as fire crews fought the blaze. "We saw a thick black cloud of smoke," he said.
Four fire engines attended and crews stayed there damping down after the flames had been put out. Police cordoned off the road. Mr Howard was given oxygen by ambulance crew and was taken to hospital to be checked over.

« Go back
Go to main areas of concern »
Many years ago when I lived next door to a Cheshire Home, I read an article by the Play-write Roger McDougall
about his battle with M.S., and how he had secured a life-long remission by going onto a milk-free, gluten-free
diet and taking a businesslike programme of supplements.
To cut a long story short, they instigated this regime at the Home and out of 14 people with M.S., 5 went
into complete remission, 3 went home. Five others benefitted very noticeably and only one appeared to make no
perceivable progress.
Sadly, the regime was halted, (as it was said to be "unscientific"), two patients died, and others regressed
to their former state or somewhat worse. It was a very sad time.
However, for sufferers at home, the scene could be brighter. It is well worth trying Gluten-free, milk-free
food and now that every supermarket has a gluten-free unit it is all extremely easy. The food is readily
available, bread, crumpets, cake, spaghetti, pizza bases, biscuits, porridge, cereals, flour, you name it,
it is out there.
For milk substitutes there are Rice Dream and Provamil, both rice milks.
In addition there is the Foresight programme, which could also help.
In the work of Isabel Jennings, MRCVS, "Vitamins in Endocrine Metabolism" she notes that baby
rats deprived of Pantothenic acid before birth are born with damage to the myelin sheath.
This damage features in M.S., and so may be a major factor. It would be worth taking Bio Care's
Magnesium Pantothenate.
It is also thought that mercury damage can play a part. This is most likely to be coming from mercury
fillings in the teeth, or from the preservatives in immunizations etc. (Thymerasol).
Mercury fillings are now being used far less frequently, and there are plenty of white alternatives available.
However, many of us have fillings still in place, put in many years ago.
The question as to whether to disturb them is a very knotty one. The removal can create quite a bit of mercury
dust and there is the danger of making a bad situation worse.
However, if you are showing the early signs of M.S., I would contact the Society for Mercury-Free Dentistry
www.mercuryfreedentistry.org.uk (See Useful Addresses).
They can help you find a dentist in your area who is experienced in taking out amalgam fillings.
In some cases it may just be an option to see if they are "leaking" (crumbling) and then just to remove
those that are. Be sure that they are replaced with white fillings that are NOT full of fluoride. As you would
expect, all dentists receive a lot of propaganda from the pro-fluoride lobby and not all of them see through it.
The British Dental Association are not only pro-fluoride, but also pro-mercury, so are unlikely to be helpful in
any way. The only spark of hope is that the American Dental Association has just (2008) banned mercury, so as we
usually follow the USA (even into hopeless wars), with any luck, we may follow suit!

"We came across Foresight as we decided to try for our first child (we had previously had a miscarriage). We understood it as a different approach to healthy living and have kept on, despite not planning any more children, a lot of your principles and advice in our daily routine. We get our fresh produce (fruit, veg, dairy, eggs, meat) delivered from local organic farms and have not found our bills going up, as we stick to what we get! I threw aluminium cookware out and replaced it for glass or stainless steel and cut out artificially composed foods. We also did hair analysis and have been filtering our water for almost 4 years now (we have now invested in an osmosis filter) as our heavy metals were quite high.
We got pregnant immediately on both occasions and my pregnancies and births were both very straight forward (one water birth, one natural) and we now have two bright and healthy sparks challenging our existence (you didn't warn us about that!!)
I thank you for the encouragement on breastfeeding as I have a predisposition to hayfever and it seems that, so far, my children haven't got any! This, in my mind, is due to their healthy start in life thanks to your leadership and inspiration."
