J.K. Rowling's Personal Annotated "Philosopher's Stone" to be Auctioned for CharityNews
A very rare copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is going to be put up for auction on Tuesday. The auction is to aid the writers' association, English PEN. The auction will sell numerous novels annotated by their authors, including an incredible first edition (yes, one of the original first-run 500 copies) of Philosopher's Stone annotated by J.K. Rowling. This special annotated copy of Philosopher's Stone includes numerous handwritten comments in the margins, 22 original hand-drawn sketches, as well as a 43-page "second thoughts" segment in which Rowling gave her personal account on writing the novel. The Daily Mail reports:
JK Rowling's personally annotated first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is due to be sold at the Sotheby's in aid of the writers' association English PEN. On the title page she has added: 'changed my life forever', and drew the Hogwarts crest where it went on to appear in later editions. She also questions: 'Perhaps Hufflepuff house would have the respect it deserves from fans if I'd stayed with my original idea of a bear to represent it?'
On another page, Rowling has drawn a picture of a sleeping baby Harry left on the Privet Drive doorstep of the Dursleys, his aunt and uncle, after his parents were killed by Lord Voldemort
On the chapter entitled Quidditch, Rowling's notes explain the sport's origins: 'was invented in a small hotel in Manchester after a row with my then boyfriend. I had been pondering the things that hold a society together, cause it to congregate and signify its particular character and knew I needed a sport. It infuriates men, in my experience (why is the Snitch so valuable etc.), which is quite satisfying given my state of mind when I invented it'
It includes a 43-page 'second thoughts' segment from Rowling, with notes such as, 'I wrote the book ... in snatched hours, in clattering cafes or in the dead of night.
'For me, the story of how I wrote 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' is written invisibly on every page, legible only to me ...'
Dr Philip W. Errington, director of printed books and manuscripts at Sotheby's, said: 'This can undoubtedly be regarded as the definitive copy of any Harry Potter book.
'Not only is it a fine copy of a first edition of the first book, but the author has significantly personalised it with numerous written comments and many impressive and evocative illustrations.
'The personality of the author leaps from these pages and we are treated to a remarkable insight into her creative genius.'
The Daily Mail also has posted a few pictures of this annotated Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which can be seen here.

BOSTON (AP) — The Mashpee Wampanaog tribe has suffered a major setback in its bid to build a resort casino in Taunton.
Tribal chairman Cedric Cromwell said Friday that it has been notified by the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs that a compact signed with Gov. Deval Patrick's administration has been rejected and will have to be renegotiated before it can be approved.
Cromwell said the decision was disappointing, but that the tribe is ready to return to the negotiating table to come up with a revised agreement.
Patrick also called Friday's decision "deeply disappointing."
The compact approved in July gave the tribe exclusive rights to develop a resort casino in southeastern Massachusetts.
The federal agency said in a letter to the governor the compact required too great a share of the tribe's gambling revenue to go to the state.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Some of Findlay's finest made the holiday special for less-fortunate children with Wednesday's 'Shop with a Hero' event.
Findlay firefighters arrived at the east Findlay Walmart Wednesday, ready to make Christmas a little brighter for 10 less-fortunate kids.
"It's what Christmas is all about, is the ability to give to other people who are less fortunate than us, and that's exactly what we want to do here tonight," said Scott McWilliams, vice president of the IAFF Local 381.
The shopping was made possible thanks to a $2,500 grant through Walmart. It gives the kids an opportunity to spoil themselves and their families. They each get to spend $250 on anyone they like.
"For some of these kids, it might be the first time they've ever had a chance to buy a gift for mom or buy a gift for dad, so it really means a lot to them, I think," said McWilliams. "To spend some time with someone else's kid and take them around and just see their faces when they're shopping, just the glow in their faces and all of our guys love it, too. You can see all of our guys are extremely satisfied to be able to do this."

It is a topic that just refuses to go away and is encompassing the whole world of the sport we love, football. As I am sure you are all aware recently the accusations of racist chants, abusive words and other such moronic behavior have been leveled at all aspects of the game. It started with just being a supporters problem in the 1980's and now, thirty years on, instead of it being quashed (or at least on the downward spiral) we find it front and center of most sports talk shows and back pages.
Now players, referees and even the FA themselves have been accused of being racist and if nothing else is done then there at least needs to be some reform done from the very highest levels of the English game all the way down and also extend that to all federations including FIFA itself.
If you ask some when this all sparked off again they will no doubt direct you to one or both of two incidents last season. The first being the only now concluded John Terry and Anton Ferdinand case or that of the Suarez and Patrice Evra case. Even once the latter had been dealt with by the FA there was still fall out from it. The following meeting between the two resulted in a non handshake between the two which sparked just as much controversy as the actually accusations themselves. I understand the reason why the Suarez 'non' handshake became a hot topic but wasn't it only a week before that Rio Ferdinand said he would refuse the handshake with Terry when Chelsea and Utd met? As it happened Terry didn't play but now there is uproar. It is also not the first time there have been handshake issues. Mancini/Hughes, Terry/Bridge, Hughes/Wenger, Wenger and probably every other manager at some point. To me it would have been bigger of Evra if he hadn't tried to force Suarezs arm back and then danced in front of him at the end of the game. Who thought Evra would be charged by the FA like Adebayor was when his celebration was deemed over the top? I for one wasn't holding my breath.
Racism in football has been bubbling just under the surface for a while and to have thought that we would have done enough by now to eradicate the problem must surely have gotten a rude awakening with the events in our beloved sport recently. However the events are not by any means out of the ordinary and indeed goes all the way up to the governing body itself.
In 1885 a young man from the Gold Coast (now Ghana) became the first Black Professional Footballer and signed for Darlington at the age of 20. Arthur Wharton died in 1930 but it wasn't until 1997 when his grave was given a headstone after an anti racism group campaigned for it and then in 2003 he was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame. Wharton never was capped Internationally and never won any major honours during his career but currently has a petition online, the Arthur Wharton Foundation (www.arthurwharton.com) to erect a statue at his first club, Darlington in his honour.
Moving on through history, you had Dixie Dean who most famously played for Everton. There is a story where at halftime as the players left the field racist abuse was hurled at him. Dean apparently punched the offender and continued down the tunnel. No charges were brought. Strangely enough it would be fifty years later that Everton fans would hurl abuse at Liverpool player John Barnes. Fans chanted 'Everton are white' forgetting the player that had scored just under 350 goals for their club in 400 appearances and part of the League winning team, twice and FA Cup winning side all those years ago.
But it is not just the fans that players have received abuse from. Unfortunately famous managers and key figures within football have also been the source for some controversial comments. Steve Mokone while playing for Coventry says he was told by his manager, 'We brought you over here and you are not satisfied. That's the trouble with you people'. I do not know the background or setting for the comments but the South African interpreted this 'you people' as being racist and left.
Viv Anderson was another player who had to deal with abuse, regularly getting pelted with bananas and other fruit was a target of racist chants. On one occasion he informed then Manager Brian Clough of the abuse and Cloughie just responded with Anderson to go back out and fetch him two pears and a banana. Something that would not be tolerated in today's game. It was Viv Anderson though who also became the first black player to turn out in the white shirt of England, in 1978 he made the first of his 30 appearances for his country. That was over 100 years after the first England match had been played and with all the other players selected throughout those years it made the first black player chosen was England 936th different player called up.
That was back in 1978 though and so the ratio must be better in today's game right? Wrong. Although England do have a good number of black players in their team there have actually only been 63 black players to pull on that three lion shirt (correct up to the Switzerland game in June 2011).
It could have been all so different for the English FA as in the 1920's a great goalscorer by the name of Jack Leslie was called up. He later would receive a communication cancelling his call up as they didn't realise he was a 'man of colour'.
Paul Reaney did play for England in the 1960's but a decision is up in the air with weather he was the first 'black' player due to looking slightly darker in some and lighter in other pictures of the time. That added with the climate of the time meant that his own club didn't get involved.
This was all leading up to the 1980's though when black players were becoming higher profile and the country as a whole was feeling more violated with immigrants and a Tory leadership that saw British troops sent to the Falklands. Racism was arguably at its highest and most volatile at this point and players such as Cyrille Regis and Garth Crooks were probably two of the many high profile non-white players to deal with such levels of abuse. Regis, once called up to the England team, was sent a bullet in the post.
It has always been there though even though we may not have acknowledged it all throughout the 1990's but in 2004 it reached the television. Ron Atkinson, a pundit for ITV at the time and ex manager and player resigned after a racist comment. Atkinson, believing his microphone had been switched off made a comment involving the 'N' word about Chelsea player Marcel Desailly. Although it wasn't broadcast on English TV the comment was still being broadcast to other countries. At about the same time as his resignation from ITV he also left his columnist job at a big national paper by 'mutual agreement'.
Vivek Chaudhary reported in The Guardian of 24 January 2004 that a former England manager had "alleged that during his tenure he was told by senior FA officials not to pick too many black players." The manager, Chaudhary wrote, "claims that he was called into an office where two senior FA officials were present and they told him that his England team should be made up of predominantly white footballers." By investigating further this unnamed England manager is most likely Graham Taylor. He had more black players during his time as manager and would be the likely candidate to incur a 'quota'.
Racism in football continues to be an issue, but not to the extent as it had been thanks in part to campaigns such as the 'Kick It Out' campaign. The repercussions of racist chants in grounds now can be a lifetime bans from Stadiums and criminal proceedings. Despite this it still continues to occasionally raise its head whether it is from the crowd or from players themselves.
For the FA to rule so severely on the Suarez case is nothing more than hypocrisy. Ask yourselves how many black referees you can mention over recent times? I get Uriah Rennie and that's about it for me. There should have been another 'non white' referee entering the Premier League. Gurnham Singh, an accountant from Wolverhampton, became the first Asian referee to take charge of a league game in this country in 1989.
Six years later he finished top of a referees order of merit - but despite this he was never selected for the Premiership even though others ranked below him were. In 1999 he received a letter saying he had been removed from the national register.
Mr Singh won a landmark ruling against the Football League for racial discrimination and unfair dismissal. He was passed over for promotion to the EPL despite finishing top of a referees order of merit. In an 80-page written decision, the tribunal said the Football League Ltd and the Referees National Review Board did discriminate against him.
Back to Suarez and I'm not going to justify the guy but he does deserve credit for walking directly off the pitch while Evra jumped around as if they'd just won the title in that very 'non handshake' game. Compared to a handshake snub this should have been the talking point. It was the same when Rio got upset with a Balotelli wink! All the talk in the media was of Balotelli winding him up with virtually no talk of Rio's behaviour.
The handshake controversy before the kick off was really a lot of nothing. There have been many examples of players not shaking hands including the famous Bridge refusal of Terry's hand after the public news of an affair. There were also incidents with Wenger and Hughes, Hughes and Mancini and numerous others since the 'Fair Play Handshake' was introduced.
I think the media should certainly take their focus away from the non handshake incident and instead focus on racism returning to the terraces. Micah Richards has been a target of abuse through a social media network, Tom Adeyemi, while on loan at Oldham was also the target of taunts while playing a game. Even with another United - Liverpool game the police had to seize copies of a spoof fanzine which carried a cut out KKK mask. Also a man was arrested after displaying a racial provocotive T-shirt.
So now we get to Fergusons comments in that post game interview and I disagree totally with his argument that Suarez is a disgrace and should have been sacked by Liverpool. That wasn't helpful and just serves to stoke the fires in a divisive way and really doesn't address the whole problem that has started to show its ugly head again. One part of his interview I really do agree with though is the part in which he states that have come to far to let it slip back to how it was during the 1980's. Unfortunately with the media attention focused firmly on a handshake that didn't happen rather than furthering the debate it is eneglecting the bigger issue that has emerged.
For me I think you have to look at the NFL and the American sports. If you are a player in the NFL, or a coach for that matter and you step out of line then you will be getting to sit in front of the commissioner in a short space of time. The Commish is an independent, objective guy and I think with this kind of person in the English FA you can forget about people waiting what seemed like an age to get the Terry verdict and more importantly I think the punishments will become more consistent and fair. If found guilty they should be banned for longer than the four games Terry got and fined crazy amounts, after all they earn crazy amounts and so to hit them hard you have to go to extremes.
Finally, this is not a plan designed to change the culture or mentality of the players already playing. However they are (and I make no calls on any) it is how they are and how they will be. The real fight is for the youth and the future of the game. The Worlds game is a melting pot of many different nationalities and ethnic backgrounds and if it is to survive then it needs to provide the right environment for the greatest talent there is, whatever the color.

BOSTON -- When Cody Ross was diagnosed with a fracture of the navicular bone in his left foot, general manager Ben Cherington said that a player generally misses about six to eight weeks.
As the days progress, Ross is convinced that he will beat that timeline handily.
Ross, who was placed on the disabled list retroactive to Saturday, feels that he could return soon after he is eligible, which is June 5.
"Cody Ross came into the office today and said his foot felt great," manager Bobby Valentine said. "And in his mind, it shouldn't be much more than the disabled list that he's on."
Is that realistic?
"It's all about pain. He's got to be true," said Valentine. "That's what I said to him, 'Just be true to yourself, true to us.' If you don't feel anything, 'Hey let's go play.' If you feel something, give it more time. There's no other way of doing it. I think as Ben said, if the follow-up MRI comes and shows some healing, then we'll know that a little more time will be all the healing."
Outfielder Ryan Sweeney, who suffered a concussion and is eligible to return from the seven-day disabled list on Monday, has shown some improvement in recent days.
"Yeah, just moving around nicely, doesn't have much stiffness in his neck," said Valentine. "But I don't know what the update is on the MLB tests that he has to pass before he resumes baseball activities."
Middlebrooks gets a rest; Adrian back at first
BOSTON -- When the Red Sox opened their homestand against the Rays on Friday night, third baseman Will Middlebrooks was on the bench.
However, manager Bobby Valentine joked that Adrian Gonzalez was actually the one getting the day off. Instead of playing in right field for the third straight game, Gonzalez moved back to first base. Kevin Youkilis played third for the first time since coming off the disabled list.
Middlebrooks will start on Saturday, which means Gonzalez could play right field at Fenway Park for the first time in his career.
When the Red Sox were in Baltimore earlier this week, Valentine sounded as if he had some hesitancy about having Gonzalez play right field at Fenway, where there are unique angles and a lot of ground to cover. But watching the way Gonzalez aptly played the position on the road might have helped change Valentine's mind.
"Well, some people have had that hesitation and I'm not sure how to read it," Valentine said. "As I told you, I think he positions himself extremely well and he gets a good jump on the ball. Does that make up for some of the [lack of] foot speed? I'm not sure. All I know is thus far, when the ball is hit, we do a pretty good job of retrieving it and the opportunities he's had have led me to believe that he can catch it if he can get to it."
As for Middlebrooks, he will continue to stay in the mix on a fairly regular basis as long as he is on the Major League roster.
Boston's top prospect had played 18 games in 18 days before Thursday's team off-day.
"I think it's a nice time to do it," Valentine said. "Get two in a row [including Thursday's off-day] and come back fresh. He'll be in there tomorrow, playing tomorrow."
At this point of his development, Valentine doesn't imagine he'll play Middlebrooks anywhere but third base.
"I keep asking if there's another position and I keep hearing no," said Valentine. "Other than DH, I'm not sure what that would be. We have experimented with some things though, so I wouldn't say it's out of the realm of possibility, but it hasn't been discussed in a light that has inspired me."
Dice-K to start second rehab stint Saturday
BOSTON -- Right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka will start his second Minor League rehab assignment on Saturday when he pitches for Triple-A Pawtucket.
Matsuzaka's first assignment was cut short last week when he had to get a shot in his right trapezius muscle.
When he pitches against Toledo on Saturday, the clock will re-start at 30 days, meaning the Red Sox must activate him -- barring another setback -- by June 25.
Matsuzaka is coming back from Tommy John ligament transfer surgery. In five Minor League starts this season, Dice-K is 0-2 with a 4.62 ERA.
What do the Red Sox need to see from Matsuzaka before putting him back in their rotation?
"I think it's more hearing it from him," said manager Bobby Valentine. "He's got to know that he's ready, ready to do it. And I don't know when that comes with guys who are rehabbing, but they know. When the time comes, they know."
Matsuzaka isn't the only Major Leaguer playing at Pawtucket this weekend. Outfielder Darnell McDonald was set to play five innings there Friday night as he recovers from a right oblique strain. McDonald will get Saturday off. He is eligible to be activated Sunday, but the team might opt for him to get some additional at-bats in the Minors before he returns.

12 or 6volt
I have an H and have the option of putting either a 6volt or 12 volt gen on. I do not have a spare battery for either voltages at this time. So which way would be the way to go. lights not working at this time either. do i go back original or switch to 12 volt. all my other farmalls are still 6 volt. Will not be using this tractor till i do some more work to it. I know it is just up to me which route i go just wondering what yall would do.
6 or 12 Volt
My two cents: never saw the need to change on either my '57 Cub or 130.
I get that question asked by a few folks as well. My reply is normally: It depends on what you intend to do with the tractor
If you are planning on restoring it back to orignal, I'd leave well enough alone.
If you plan on using it quite a bit, and want to rely on it, I'd go ahead and switch it if cost is no problem to you. The one thing about having it set up for 12 volts is that if the battery is dead, or the tractor dies out somewhere where you are not close to an AC outlet, you can always jump it with a normal vehicle battery.
Just no 2 cents worth.
Mike Duncan
It depends on your preference, if everything is good, but you just need a battery, I would stay with the 6 volts, unless you need to use it when it is extremley cold. They will still start below zero if everything is in good shape, but crank pretty slow. If you are going to need a generator, etc. and don't really care aobut correctnes, I would look into a 12 volt alternator setup. That can be done fairly reasonable.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
Actually i already have the generators and a 1 wire alt i can use. this was set up on 12 volt when i bought it, well kinda ,they didn't do a very good job. So i have the oportunity to re do it. Like everything else i seem to buy i get the re do.
I have 3 IH tractors,newest is a 1950 H.All have 6 volt battries.I use the hand cranks to start them.I like 6 volt and will keep them that way.Ketcham
47 CUB[Krusty] 49 CUB[Ollie] 50 H-- PLOWS DISCS MOWERS AND lots more stuff!!Life is to short -Have fun now cause ya ain't gonna be here long!!!!
If I had to rebuild the generator, I would go 12v. My friend who bought my SM did this. He rebuilt the original generator to 12v. My 100 is 6v and started perfectly when it was 5 below -0-, plus charges like a bandit. I won't do it unless a rebuild on the charging system is in order.
I would go 12v if a tractor you will use, more reliable and versatile. 6v if you desire to maintain originality.

With the Seahawks in dire need of another pass rusher besides DE Chris Clemons, the consensus in the Pacific Northwest seemed to be that DEs Quinton Coples and Melvin Ingram would be the most attractive options available to add a boost off the edge.
But not too many sources on the scene were considering West Virginia's Bruce Irvin, who ended up being the team's surprise first-round pick with the 15th selection overall after it had moved down three spots following a trade with Dallas that also brought the Seahawks a fourth- and sixth-round picks from the Cowboys.
PFW draft expert Nolan Nawrocki had Irvin ranked No. 40 on his Top 100 list. Based on pass-rush ability alone, there are many in the know who think Irvin, who has 4.4 speed, has no peers in this draft. He has off-the-charts athleticism and can stop and start on a dime.
What concerned most evaluators was Irvin's character issues. He grew up in Atlanta poor and, for a time, homeless, and a March 17 arrest for destruction of property is an ugly blotch on his résumé.
But if he can be a consistently destructive force in passing situations, which is when he is expected to make his presence felt, in the same manner as Aldon Smith did for the division-rival Niners as a rookie last season, the Seahawks are apparently willing to gamble that Irvin will keep his nose clean.
Veterans on the Seahawks' D-line with strong character, like Red Bryant and Brandon Mebane, figure to keep a close eye on Irvin and set the right example.
Entering the draft with no really urgent needs, the Seahawks could afford to gamble on a player like Irvin with such a tremendous upside.
Entering the draft with only three picks from the fourth round on, they also gained the ability to pick up a few more warm bodies, which isn't a bad thing at all.

Our SB Nation 2011 NBA Mock Draft asks the wonderful team bloggers of our network to make choices on behalf of their favorite teams and explain themselves. We start with Conrad Kaczmarek of Fear The Sword, our Cleveland Cavaliers blog. He elected to -- surprise! -- take Duke point guard Kyrie Irving No. 1 overall. Here's Conrad.
In a draft that lacks a clear, potential superstar, the Cavaliers will take the guy who appears to be the safest bet. Despite a relatively small sample-size from college, Irving was certainly impressive when he did play. It makes sense for the Cavaliers to choose Irving and then take more of a risk with the No. 4 overall selection.
Too many questions surround the other possibilities for Cleveland at the top of the draft. Is Derrick Williams a small forward or a power forward? Has anyone actually seen Enes Kanter play? There is no doubt that Irving has the body and skills to play point guard in the NBA and has the potential to offer stability at a critical position as the Cavs start to rebuild. Furthermore, the selection of Irving allows GM Chris Grant to actively shop Ramon Sessions for more assets. When you take all of these factors into consideration, the pick begins to look like a no-brainer; Kyrie Irving is headed to Cleveland.

Thoughts on the Boston College offensive performance in Sunday's Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl loss to Nevada.
Rumors are that Boston College offensive coordinator Gary Tranquill will retire this week. Tranquill will be replaced by current BC wide receivers coach Ryan Day.

The weather is finally improving, meaning flowers are blooming. And each of those blooms could benefit UNC Children's Hospital.
Project Stackhouse started with Creighton Moeller's love of gardening and is impressive lawn of 7,000 daffodils and tulips.
"I contacted [UNC Children's Hospital] and said I wanted to make a donation," Moeller said. "They came over and were mildly shocked to see this number of flowers."
Project Stackhouse is named for Moeller's dog, who in turn is named after former UNC basketball star Jerry Stackhouse.
Moeller invites visitors to come to his garden to "do what you want to do -- take selfies, do yoga, have a wedding, make marriage proposals."
Although Moeller spends a few thousand dollars of his own money for bulbs, pots and 20,000 pounds of soil, he said every penny earned from donations or flower sales benefits the therapy dog program at UNC Children's Hospital.
"You'll be making plenty of kids happy," Moeller said.
Sherry Buckles, with the hospital's main fundraiser, N.C. Children's Promise, said Project Stackhouse is a unique way to raise money and she is thrilled the fundraiser is blooming.
"The N.C. Children's here in Chapel Hill is the state hospital, so we serve all 100 counties in North Carolina," Buckles explained of the importance of donations.
Contributions can be mailed to Project Stackhouse, c/o Creighton Moeller, 12 Elmstead Place, Chapel Hill, N.C. 27517. Checks should be made payable to N.C. Children's Promise.

In the previous update, we told you that Victor Martinez had taken A.J. Burnett deep with a solo shot in the fourth, and that Burnett also allowed a double to Jhonny Peralta. But the Tigers couldn't cash in the potential tying run, as Alex Avila struck out looking at a curve over the outer edge, and then Wilson Betemit struck out swinging at a curve in the dirt. So this thing's still 2-1 New York as we head to the fifth.
Burnett was very ugly in the bottom of the first, narrowly avoiding a catastrophe. Overall, though, he's allowed just the one run in four innings, and his breaking ball's looking sharp. The Yankees bullpen was stirring again in the fourth and Burnett's up to 61 pitches, but as long as he survives the fifth, Joe Girardi will have little about which to complain.

San Jose, Costa Rica (Sports Network) - The United States men's national team conceded two goals in the first 10 minutes en route to a 3-1 World Cup qualifying defeat at Costa Rica on Friday, dropping the team into second place in the CONCACAF table.
Costa Rica was looking for a bit of revenge after a 1-0 qualifying defeat in March against the Americans in snowy conditions in Colorado.
And the home side started quickly with a Johnny Acosta header putting them ahead in the opening two minutes.
Celso Borges then doubled the advantage for Costa Rica in the ninth minute before Clint Dempsey's first-half penalty kick pulled the Americans to within a goal at halftime.
The U.S. was pressing for an equalizer after the break, but Joel Campbell's goal 15 minutes from time restored the two-goal advantage and moves Costa Rica one point clear of Jurgen Klinsmann's team with three matches remaining.
Klinsmann had to shuffle his team just before the kickoff as midfielder Michael Bradley injured his ankle in warm-ups, while forward Jozy Altidore started the game on the bench due to a hamstring injury.
Costa Rica came out strong in the opening minutes and made the most of an early corner kick as Campbell drove the ball to the near post where Acosta turned a header past defender DaMarcus Beasley.
The Americans were still recovering from the first goal when they found themselves 2-0 down in the ninth minute.
Christian Bolanos provided the cross from the left wing and Borges placed a header back across the face of goal and inside the left post.
Fabian Johnson earned a penalty kick in the 41st for the visitors after being brought down by goalkeeper Keylor Navas, and Dempsey stepped forward and scored despite Navas getting a hand to the shot.
An equalizer nearly came in the 56th when Dempsey curled a shot off the post from the edge of the penalty area, but Costa Rica found an important insurance tally in the 75th.
A long clearance from the back allowed Campbell to beat U.S. defender Matt Besler to the ball and he tucked his shot between the legs of goalkeeper Tim Howard.
The U.S. is now 0-8-1 in World Cup qualifiers at Costa Rica and the team will hope to bounce back with a big game against Mexico on Tuesday.
The Mexicans will be a desperate side after a stunning 2-1 home defeat to Honduras on Friday.
After taking the lead in the sixth minute through a goal from Oribe Peralta, Mexico saw Jerry Bengtson and Carlos Costly score two minutes apart in the second half for Honduras, which becomes the first team since Costa Rica in 2001 to win a World Cup qualifier at the Azteca Stadium.
Mexico will enter the match in fourth place, with Panama one point behind El Tri after a 0-0 draw with Jamaica in Friday's other qualifier.

Jan Kölling at the MOCA in New York.
Sharing the Paradox of Not Having a Vision
These artworks by the distinguished Dutch digital artist Jan Kölling stand out through intensifying the "Mondaine Object." For this purpose the artist creates two-dimensional digital images using his own photographs, self-developed software, and unique combinations and handling of existing software tools.
He creates an intense experience of the everyday reality by bending it towards a poetic and philosophical atmosphere. Besides that, he's not afraid to experiment on an abstract level with colour and structure to create images which stand out by their mesmerising presence in the "space" where they are hung.
Favourite Quote:
Sören Kierkegaard: "I'd rather be an apostle than a genius".
A one-man exhibit of Kölling's art will be held at the Museum of Computer Art in Brooklyn NY, June 1 - 18, 2010.

A statewide holiday DUI crackdown has netted over 1,000 arrests throughout the Bay Area since Dec. 16, and law enforcement agencies are gearing up for more enforcement actions for the upcoming New Year's Day weekend.
A large portion of those arrests - 485 - were made in Alameda County, home of four command centers for the California Highway Patrol, in Oakland, Castro Valley, Dublin and Hayward.
"Alameda County does very large enforcement events, we sent out 200 officers on a strike team on the 16th of December," said Jan Ford, spokeswoman for Avoid anti-DUI campaigns coordinated between local law enforcement, sheriff's departments and CHP in San Francisco and Alameda counties.
She said that there was also a large force out following the Dec. 18 NFL game between the Detroit Lions and the Oakland Raiders.
In addition to those arrests, a warrant sweep was conducted throughout Alameda County and officers knocked on doors looking for offenders with outstanding DUI-related warrants.
Ford said in total law enforcement had a stack of 550 warrants to serve, and added 52 to Alameda County's total of DUI-related arrests for the season.
Other counties are conducting their own warrant sweeps, including 32 arrests in Sonoma County, Petaluma police Sgt. Ken Savano said.
Savano said Sonoma County law enforcement has also been conducting checkpoints and patrol enforcements, and has made 132 DUI arrests during the
Several Bay Area counties are reporting less DUI arrests during the same period in previous years, a trend they attribute to increased awareness of the risks of driving drunk.
Santa Clara County reported that 279 arrests were made between Dec. 16 and Dec. 28 this year and 375 arrests were made during the same period in 2010; San Mateo County reported 111 arrests this year and 128 last year; Monterey County reported 61 arrests this year and 108 last year.
But the holiday DUI campaign is not yet over, and law enforcement is gearing up for one of the biggest drunk driving nights of the year -- New Year's Eve.
Law enforcement will be out in force, patrolling and conducting DUI checkpoints looking for drivers who left parties after too much to drink.One DUI checkpoint that has already been announced is in San Francisco starting at 8:30 p.m. at Folsom and Eighth streets.
"Anyone who's planning on going over to the city had better be stone-cold sober," Ford said.
Ford is encouraging drivers to take a bus, hop on a cable car, or take a cab if they're planning on celebrating New Year's Eve by drinking.
"Even if you take a cab back to the East Bay, that's $50 to $60, that's much cheaper than a DUI arrest," she said.
In addition, BART will be running longer hours on New Year's Eve to accommodate the holiday festivities. Trains will run until 3 a.m. on Sunday morning, well after the ringing of the New Year at midnight.

The fallout continues after the hoax targeting the Duchess of Cambridge took a tragic turn, when the nurse who connected the prank call took her own life.
The Australian radio network involved in the hoax canceled the show, saying the two DJs "will not return to the airwaves until further notice."
DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian were pretending to be the Queen of England and Prince Charles, when they obtained details of Kate Middleton's recovery from an acute morning sickness and aired the prank on the show.
"There's not a minute we don't think of the family and what they must be going through," said a tearful Mel Greig during her first televised interview.
"Just the thought that we may have played a part of that is gut-wrenching."
The tragic story consumed much of the airtime on morning radio shows, including the Woody and Jim Show on Nashville's 107.5 The River
Woody, Jim, and the newest member of the show, Riley Couture, had differing feelings toward the DJs removal from the airways.
"Yeah, I definitely think they should be fired," said Couture. "Okay, if you're are really sorry, take your punishment and maybe not be on the radio anymore."
"It's kind of a gray area to me," said Woody Wood.
Jim Chandler added, "I don't know where their careers go now, but I think they've been punished enough."
All three of The River's DJ's agreed that the Australian DJs were not responsible for the death of Jacintha Saldanha.
"I liken this to a surprise party where everybody's hiding with the lights off. They yell 'surprise' and that person has a heart condition and drops dead," said Chandler.
"It's just terrible all the way around. It really is, so we'll just see how it plays out," Wood said.

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) -- Warning that civilians are in danger, aid officials said they cannot reach a town where Islamist militants and French forces battled for a week, and a town not far from the capital remained on high alert Friday after a reported jihadist sighting.
Doctors Without Borders has been trying to get to the town of Konna since Monday but all roads leading to the community in central Mali have been closed by the Malian military, said Malik Allaouna, director of operations for the group known as MSF by its initials in French.
"Despite our repeated requests, we are still being refused access to the Konna region," he said. "It's essential to allow delivery of impartial medical and humanitarian aid."

I don't think Eva Clara Felicity does flow as nicely, although they are all beautiful names.
What about... Using Evelyn Clara Elisabeth (which is less bumpy than Eva Clara Elisabeth, where it's not so much the first two together as the mix of the three I think) and then calling her Eva/Eva Clara as a pet name?

What does everyone think of Eva Elisabeth Claire/Eva Claire Elisabeth? I prefer both Eva Clara and Eve-Claire to Eva Claire, but it was one suggestion I got that I quite like, even though it's not really what I'm going for. I really love Eva Clara as a double barrel, and I love that she could be Eva, Evie, Eve-Claire, and Eva Clara. With Eva Elisabeth Claire, it's a bit harder to use Eva Clara, but I've decided to give it a chance. Between Eva Felicity Claire, Eva Clara Elisabeth, and Eva Elisabeth Claire, where would you rank Eva Elisabeth Claire?
Thanks, ladies!

Hey Guys n Girls,
i had this problem too, but i liked frodo a bit too much to want to down grade so i did a bit of playing around and have managed to fix my XBMC on my mac and atv2 (Bit of an apple fan boy), i dont see why this will not fix everything else tho,
Firstly a bit of background on the problem. This is NOT a fault of the 1channel addon, this is an XBMC bug but because of the hard work of Bstrdsmkr and the over devs a work around was easy and should work until XBMC fix the bug on there end. our the beloved Bstrdsmkr returns
what was happening was, when XMBC plays the video it uses call back to let the addon know whats happen like "ONPLAYBACKSTARTED" and "ONPLAYBACKSTOPPED"
but the onplaybackstopped event never happens when you exit or the file ends so the addon is still thinks the video is running which causes the problem
Because the dev's added functions monitor the time spent watching the video so they could very kindly mark it as watched for us, this errors out when the video has ended or you exit
so to fix this all you need to do is add the following to the player.py file
addon.log('STOP PLAY BACK HACK')
on line 145 (Note: python like thinks to be lined up correctly so make sure you indent it correctly)
here is the full file on past bin ( http://pastebin.com/9iBU6aQB )
And to all the the devs for XBMC and the everyone at XBMC HUB Thanks for all your hardwork and happy new year

PHOENIX -- At the end of April, D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt's batting average stood at .193. After experiencing success when he was called up in August last season, pitchers were discovering new ways to attack Goldschmidt and finding holes in his bat.The only choice the 24-year-old had in his first full Major League season was to adjust right back. Now, entering Sunday on a career-best 16-game hitting streak, the longest active streak in the National League, Goldschmidt is becoming one of the hardest outs in the D-backs' lineup. "I was worried about him coming into this year. I thought teams would adjust to him," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He felt the pressure just to come and be successful. He had to battle through and re-find himself. He had to work through a bad streak, and that's good for him." Since May 28, Goldschmidt is hitting at a .447 clip with five homers and eight RBIs. "I've felt good the past couple weeks, past month," he said. "You just try to keep that feeling, stay relaxed and get good pitches to hit." Even when he was struggling, Goldschmidt never lost faith in his game. Gibson said he witnessed his first baseman express frustration frequently but that he was always working to tweak his approach and find a way out of the cold stretch. "You just stay positive, that happens to everyone throughout the season, probably multiple times," Goldschmidt said. "You swing at the right pitches, but it doesn't work out. The only thing you can do is stay positive and keep going." Having gone through a period that tested his character, Gibson believes Goldschmidt is a stronger baseball player now experiencing both success and failure. "He's much calmer at the plate. He's good," Gibson said. "He's stayed to his plan. He never changes. He gets frustrated occasionally, but he's not missing pitches anymore."
D-backs preparing for Drew's return
PHOENIX -- A day after injured D-backs shortstop Stephen Drew batted 2-for-5 with a home run in a Triple-A game in Tucson, manager Kirk Gibson started to plan for the 29-year-old's return."Today was the first day I started thinking about it a little bit, I generally think things through a few times," Gibson said. "I had a conversation today on the way in about it. There are many different scenarios. You have to see how often he can play and how he's moving around." In the short term, Drew will stay with Triple-A Reno when they travel to Colorado for another series. He will likely play again Monday. "It's a matter how long he can play, what level and at what intensity," Gibson said. "Just have to keep playing." More than just success at the plate (3-for-9 with two RBIs and two runs scored in two games), Gibson has been getting good reports on Drew's defense as well. "I know he's made some exceptional plays already," Gibson said. "We know he can swing the bat. He's Stephen Drew; he's a very good ballplayer." When Drew finally does make it back with the big league club, Gibson will face the challenge of fitting him in along with Willie Bloomquist and John McDonald, who have both performed well in Drew's absence. "I don't know how that affects the other guys. It's going to be interesting to see how I keep everyone involved," Gibson said. "I'm going to rotate everybody. We try to keep everyone involved. We have a good club with a lot of good players. The guys on the bench are darn good players and good guys in the clubhouse."
Gibson contemplating DH options for road trip
PHOENIX -- Once the D-backs finish their homestand on Sunday, they'll head on the road to face two American League teams in Texas and Anaheim.D-backs manager Kirk Gibson, who is already known for mixing up his lineup regularly, will have more than a few options while his club is equipped with a designated hitter for the six games. "It could be anybody on the bench," he said. "I was thinking about that on the way in. I haven't figured it out yet." Last season, the D-backs used Willy Mo Pena as their primary DH while in AL ballparks. In nine such games, he hit three homers, drove in four and scored four times. Despite a plethora of options this season, Gibson didn't rule out one guy getting the majority of the starts. "It could be like that," he said. "It's possible." The other factors Gibson is contemplating revolve around health and pitching matchups.

"And did not Allah check one set of people by means of another,
the earth would indeed be full of mischief;
but Allah is full of Bounty to all the worlds"
-Qur'an 2:251
Islam never tolerates unprovoked aggression from its own side; Muslims are commanded in the Qur'an not to begin hostilities, embark on any act of aggression, violate the rights of others, or harm the innocent. Even hurting or destroying animals or trees is forbidden. War is waged only to defend the religious community against oppression and persecution, because the Qur'an says that "persecution is worse than slaughter" and "let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression" (Qur'an 2:190-193). Therefore, if non-Muslims are peaceful or indifferent to Islam, there is no justified reason to declare war on them.
The Qur'an describes those people who are permitted to fight:
"They are those who have been expelled from their homes
in defiance of right, for no cause except that they say,
'Our Lord is Allah.'
Did not Allah check one set of people by means of another,
there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches,
synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of God is commemorated
in abundant measure..."
-Qur'an 22:40
Note that the verse specifically commands the protection of all houses of worship. Finally, the Qur'an also says, "Let there be no compulsion in religion" (2:256). Forcing someone at the point of a sword to choose death or Islam is an idea that is foreign to Islam in spirit and in historical practice. There is absolutely no question of waging a "holy war" to "spread the faith" and compel people to embrace Islam; that would be an unholy war and the people's forced conversions would not be sincere.

Rumor: Helen McCrory to play Bellatrix?Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
August 01, 2005, 08:12 PM
Grace from RGMS.org let us know that a UK paper, The Mirror, is reporting tonight that actress Helen McCrory " has been lined up to play evil Bellatrix Lestrange in the next Harry Potter film."
A source revealed: "The producers are trying to keep the cast a secret until it's all sealed. But they are really keen on Helen. "They think she has the gravitas and looks to pull off the part of Bellatrix."
Helen McCrory appeared in the film Charlotte Gray with Cate Blanchette and Sir Michael Gambon (Albus Dumbledore) as well as Charles II with Harry Potter film actors actors Sean Biggerstaff, Christian Coulson, and Shirley Henderson. You can see a photo of Helen here. We are trying to confirm this possible casting for Order of the Phoenix with WB; until then please consider this very much a rumor until confirmation. We will update you with more as soon as possible.
Thanks very much Grace!

Top Ten Canadian Female Superheroes
It is no secret that Canadians are under represented in the mainstream comic book world, with perhaps the exception of Marvel Comics, which has a significant amount of Canadians in their Universe, besides their Canadian superteam Alpha Flight (although most of the females are in Alpha Flight).
And when it comes to female superheroes, they are a rare breed indeed all across, although Marvel can be commanded again for having a team that is more or less balanced in terms of genders and several of their team members do figure prominently in our little list.
While we try our best here at Heroes of the North to keep a balanced team with a healthy dose of kick ass heroines, we thought it would be cool to make a list of our top ten favourites.
Without further ado, here is our list of top ten Canadian female superheroes:
10. Lady Canuck:
This should be more an honourable mention more than anything but we could not even find ten real female Canadian superheroes! There are a few variations of Captain Canuck as a female floating around the web, apparently the result of some contest.
Writer Jeff Lemire is apparently creating a Cree superhero called Equinox for his Justice League of Canada book but since we have not yet read it, it is hard to pass judgement at this point. Definitely an odd costume choice though.
9. Marrina (Alpha Flight)
Marrina is from an alien species known as Plodex. Her egg was found by Tom Smallwood, a fisherman in Newfoundland, who gave it to his wife Gladys. When Gladys broke the shell she imprinted Marrina with Human female DNA. Marrina grew up mostly normal, except for her odd appearance. She came to the attention of Alpha Flight and was part of the team in the first incarnation and has been on and off ever since.
Being an alien, she has a complicated history (not to mention a cheesy origin) and her powers are more or less linked to water: she is an amphibian, able to swim at tremendous speeds and has limited control over water. She also secretes at will a substance that renders her attacker temporarily blind and has some shape shifting abilities.
Not the most interesting character but there are so few female Canadian heroes, she is worth a mention.
8. Talisman (Alpha Flight):
Yet another Alpha Flight Member, Talisman is the daughter of Dr. Michael Twoyoungmen aka Shaman, another member of Alpha Flight. She is an archeologist who focus on First Nations findings and artefacts. She has a strained relation with her father, who could not save her dying mother as a child, despite promising her he would. She has inherited some mystical powers and as a result, been forced to re-establish contact with her father. She is a reluctant superhero most of the time, one of the rare Alpha Flight members not trained by the Canadian government, and quite frankly, a bit of a First Nation cliché character.
7. Nanook (Northern Guard)
Created by our pal Ty Templeton because of rights issues in regards to Nelvana and therefore strongly reminescent of both Nelvana and Snowbird, Nanook Iluak is also an Inuit goddess, both powerful and somewhat at odds with the human woman she shares her form with. As Anne Knight, she is the romantic interest of Johnny Canuck in the story that was attempting to revive the old Canadian Golden Age heroes. While the characterization was very interesting and we would have like to see more of her, there is one thing that always stood out: the costume is silly, even for a northern goddess and despite the obvious Frazetta-esque inspiration… Sorry Ty!
6. Snow Bird (Alpha Flight):
Strongly inspired by Nelvana (her mother is Nelvanna - see how clever that is?), Snowbird is yet another Inuit demigodess with strangely blonde hair that shares a body with a human, she is a shape shifter destined to fight the mystical evil forces of the Ancients Ones. While not the worst character of its ilk - it falls prey to the typical cliché of First Nations characterization: make the character mystical and mysterious, throw in some primordial deities and call it a day. We have nothing against using religious symbols, rituals and deities but when it is almost the only thing that defines the character as First Nations, it is lazy. Characters are individuals, first and foremost and while being of First Nations will certainly influence who they are, wrapping that up with just a veneer of folkloric deities is an easy way out. That being said, SnowBird was given a few stories to shine in, especially during the John Byrne Alpha Flight run, hence why she runs fairly high in the list.
5. Canadiana:
This very hard to find (and as far as we know) unfinished series started as a webcomic experiment by writer Mark Shainblum and PEI illustrator Sandy Carruthers. Unfortunately, most of the material has disappeared from the interwebs and they were never published per say. Having read most of the run, we can only go from memory but the story was quite convoluted, dealing with other dimensions and Canadiana was the embodiment of the "spirit" of Canada, with flight and super strength powers. It was an interesting experiment that strayed from the typical superhero fare while retaining some of its elements. The costume was definitely something refreshing and not your conventional female superhero outfit. Definitely a breath of fresh air.
Heather McNeil is the now estranged wife of James Hudson (Guardian), leader of Alpha Flight. She herself led Alpha Flight for quite a while, changing names and costumes a few times in the tenure and enjoys a similar power set than her husband, which includes flight and some level of enhanced strength amongst other things, courtesy of the technology in the costume developped by her husband.
4. Vindicator (Alpha Flight):
She is an interesting character because she is a take charge type of person, although the early incarnation made her also weirdly smitten by her scientist husband, she eventually grew on her own as a strong independant woman, until the character got mucked up in silly alternate universe and alternate histories timeline that kind of destroyed the potential of the character in our humble opinion. Hopefully down the line they will give her back some dignity.
3. Aurora (Alpha Flight):
Possibly the most interesting of all the female Alpha Flight characters, and not only because she has a split personality disorder, is French speaking (she is from Quebec), is a Marvel Universe mutant, has a twin (Northstar) and was raised by abusive Catholic nuns and separated in a young age from her brother.
Her powers consist of flight, superspeed and when she joins hands with her brother, they can create a bright flash of light for no particular reason, although it is useful to blind enemies.
Her multiple Personality Disorder is what makes her interesting. As Aurora, she is a carefree, sexually liberated woman with very little inhibitions. As Jeanne-Marie, she is a repressed, borderline bigot, conservative who is afraid of men and pretty much anything. The Jeanne-Marie personality seems to manifest itself in times of intense stress or fear, especially in restricted spaces as Aurora is claustrophobic.
2. Fleur-de-Lys (Northguard):
Yet another Canadian female superhero character created by Mark Shainblum, Fleur-de-Lys is an accomplished French Canadian martial artist that trains Northguard after his first not so successful adventure. She eventually takes the mantle and costume of Fleur-de-Lys and becomes sort of the unofficial sidekick of Northguard, a role she seems to relish and enjoy. Unfortunately, the character will never really fully reach its potential as the character was never further explored. It has also the distinction of being the sole female Canadian superhero to have its own Canada Post stamp.
1. Nelvana of the Northern Lights:
Adrian Dingle was inspired to create Nelvana of the Northern Lights after his friend, Group of Seven artist Franz Johnston, told him stories about the Inuit legends Johnston had learned during a trip to the Arctic. Putting his own spin on said legends, Dingle turned Nelvana into a superhero, and sent her off to fight Axis forces and Nazis (again, this was during the 1940s). How did Nelvana get her powers? Well, her father was a god, Koliak, King of the Northern Lights. Her powers include flight, immortality (being a half-goddess), super-speed, invisibility, and can call upon the powers of the Aurora Borealis to do other stuff.
Notable for being one of the first female superheroines (there was a few more obscure characters that made it before her but she did beat the amazon Wonder Woman by three months!)
So there you have it! What do you think of our list? Who is your favourite Canadian superheroine? Let us know in the comments below!

With the 50th pick in the 2012 NFL draft, the St. Louis Rams selected Cincinnati running back Isaiah Pead. Pead is the ninth-rated prospect at his position, according to Mocking The Draft's rankings.
St. Louis used its first-round pick on Michael Brockers and had selected Brian Quick and Janoris Jenkins in the second round. St. Louis then traded down, swapping with the Bears, before taking Pead.
The 5'10", 197-pound running back doesn't have great size, but he is very skilled. Pead's quickness and receiving ability could make him a solid third-down back at the next level, according to Dan Kader.
Strengths: Pead had good acceleration when planting his foot in the ground and bursting up field. Shows off excellent agility to stop and cut without a wasted motion. When he's past the line, Pead can often beat defenders on an angle. Maintains good balance on contact. Receiving skill makes him a good third down option. Caught 87 passes for 721 yards at Cincinnati.
Weaknesses: Gets too reliant on getting outside the tackle box and isn't fast enough to always get to the corner first. Not an especially strong runner. Pead needs to carry the ball higher so it doesn't get knocked out. Will need to add considerable strength at the next level. Less-than-ideal as a blocker, but he gives good effort.
For more on Pead, be sure to check out the SB Nation blog Down The Drive. For lots more on the 2012 NFL Draft, please visit Mocking the Draft.

Family medicine residency program expands to Durham Region
Family Medicine residents from Queen's School of Medicine and citizens of Oshawa and Durham region will benefit from the expansion of the university's community-based residency program to the new Lakeridge Health Education and Research Network (LHEARN) Centre.
Dr. David Walker, Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences, announced at an Oshawa event today that Queen's is providing $1M towards the capital cost of the Centre.
"This initiative will help Queen's and Lakeridge Health provide state-of-the-art training for the next generation of health-care providers and become a model exemplifying 'best practices'," said Dr. Walker. "The program will improve health care for the citizens of Oshawa and area by increasing the number of doctors practicing in the region, reducing local wait times and focusing on preventive care and chronic disease management."
Beginning in July 2012, some of Queen's Family Medicine residents will live and train in Oshawa and the surrounding area for their entire two years of residency. The new Centre will be their academic home.
"For Family Medicine residents, LHEARN will provide a unique opportunity to develop and hone our skills in an integrated family medicine setting – combining clinical practice in family medicine with a range of learning experiences in other medical disciplines," said Family Medicine resident Dr. Jay Dong.
The $1M investment comes from funding through the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for a $6.6M initiative to expand Queen's Family Medicine residency program to Oshawa, Belleville, and Peterborough. The expansion will also help these communities recruit and retain family physicians.
Lakeridge Health, Queen's and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology have signed a Memorandum of Understanding designed to enhance and expand health sciences education and research.
