So it's the Rays and the Red Sox – two familiar foes. This is the second postseason matchup between the AL East rivals.
The Boston and Tampa Bay met in the 2008 AL Championship Series, with the Rays winning in a dramatic seven-game series.
Game 1 is Friday at 3 p.m. Game 2 is Saturday at 5:30. Both are in Boston. Then the Rays will return home for game 3 Monday, and that time is to be determined.
If necessary, a fourth game would be at the Trop, a fifth would be back in Boston, the winners of the AL East.
Tickets to game 3 in St. Petersburg go on sale tomorrow at 1 p.m. at Tropicana Field. You can guarantee a seat by ordering a ticket plan for next season. You can do that online on raysbaseball.com.
Fans wanting to attend that game can expect to pay an average of $154 for a ticket. That's 185 percent higher than the regular season average.

More on the Sias
By contracostatimesprepsportsstaff
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006 at 4:49 pm in Uncategorized.
Carondelet freshman Nicole Hood, who won the girls side at the Ed Sias Invitational cross-country meet on Saturday, seemed to come out of nowhere. I saw her break into the lead in the first few steps of the two-mile race, then widen her lead to 10 seconds within one-half mile. As I was waiting for her to appear before Finale Hil, a steep, if short, incline in the final quarter mile, Iasked a Cougar junior varsity runner who their front-runner was. She looked at me and, "That would be Nicole Hood." The name rang a bell, but only lightly. Hood won by 18 seconds. Obviously, a runner of her caliber does not come out of nowhere. Running for the Pleasanton Heat last winter, she placed second in the Junior Olympics 4-kilometer race, held Dec. 10 in Rhode Island. Led by Hood, the top five Carondelet finishers were in the top 14 and all are either freshmen or sophomores. We're going to be reading about this team a long time…

The Coral Princess is superbly managed; the shows were professionally done; food was good, and the staff was considerate and helpful. We chose any-time dining which gave us a variety of options. If you're interested in using the gym, the daily stretching and core exercises were free and of great help. The ships historian, Bill Keene, gave very informative lectures on all the ports we visited, and several lectures on the Panama Canal which was very helpful. I would recommend reading David McCullough's book "The Path Between The Seas" as it gives a complete historical account of the building of the Panama Canal.
The Natural History museum in Aruba was free and well worth the visit. We took the ships tour of the old city in Cartagena. While cruising through the canal, we stood on deck 10 forward and deck 8 aft to get excellent views of the locks and canal sites. A side trip which was well worth it was taking a small craft back through the locks where you get a completely different perspective. Puntarenas, Costa Rica, is a wonderful place to visit. We arranged a tour on the internet with Okey-dkey tours run by Charlie Soto. His price if very reasonable, and he gives a discount to Cruise Critic members. Souvenirs can be purchased where the ship docks for the best prices. We especially enjoyed the sea days for fun and relaxation. Taking everything into account, this was the best cruise we have experienced. I would rate this a 5 star cruise.

I hope they found the bug where the camera frekin wont turn back on and needs the battery removed and inserted again to kick back into action.
Easy fix right....
Easy fix right....
I am getting over 1,200 shots per battery (wedding photography). I am very happy with the battery performance. I put one fresh battery in each body and I can shoot the whole day. I keep a spare in the car but have not needed it.
I would like to see some optimizations that would extend battey life. BG-E11 will help. But the battery life could use some improvement. There are a lot of bells and whistles to power on this model...and the addition of lighted focus points in servo mode wont help. Hope that is configurable when it's fixed.
Id also like to see the annoying problem of having the camera switch the default card when a card is removed (EVEN WHEN THE POWER IS OFF!). Very annoying to have to reset that. The default card should remain the default card unless it's powered on with one of the cards missing.
Makes me think maybe we have a battery drain issue when powered off if the camera can detect that cards have been removed and re-inserted.
Man, all these great ideas everyone is sharing here, but is anyone submitting their gripes/suggestions to Canon?
I hope they unlock new video features. I'm sticking with my 5Dii for video right now, but if they added clean HDMI 8-bit 4:2:2 out, zebras, and focus peaking, I'd upgrade for that.
I'd upgrade ESPECIALLY if they unlock more video resolution from the sensor and processor.
1. improved Auto-ISO function! Primarily adding exposure correction for "M" mode on Auto-ISO. That would be really easy to fix in firmware and make Auto-ISO a lot more useful.+1
2. red illuminated AF-point/s also in AI-Servo mode. I guess that one will definitely be on the list.
3. I don't ever use video at all. I would therefore like to get a 5D III with all video + related features completely disabled in firmware, with the sole exception of LiveView. Sold at a substantially discounted price - less than a Nikon D800. Lets say € 2.500 ... and I'll immediately buy one! :-)

NBA Draft 2012: Talking Bucks Offseason And Draft With ProBasketballDraft.com
Joe Kotoch from ProBasketballDraft.com was kind enough to have me join him yesterday for a discussion of the Bucks' offseason and draft needs, as well as plenty of talk about the state of the franchise, the Andrew Bogut/Monta Ellis trade, and of course Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova. It also gave me a chance to pick Joe's brain on how guys like Jared Sullinger, Meyers Leonard and Tyler Zeller project at the next level and how they might fit with the Bucks' roster. Thanks to Joe for having me on and hopefully we'll do it again soon. Check out the podcasts page at ProBasketballDraft.com to listen (second from the top) and be sure to check out Joe's scouting reports and mock draft.

Hang the attackers of the Srilankan cricket team!
Honorable President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Mr. Asif Ali Zardari, Respected sir, As you very well know the ghastly incident of 3rd March 2009, where our extremely valued guests, the Srilankan cricket team were attacked and injured by a dozen heavily armed terrorists. As a Pakistani citizen I am ashamed at the complete lack of sense of responsibility of the administration who despite having enormous budgets failed to provide fool proof security to them. I am filled with pride at the heroic sacrifices which the slain policemen gave in the line of their duty while successfully trying to save the lives of our guests. We, all the undersigned demand from you as free individuals of Pakistan and the world to bring to strict justice these criminals who have shamed us all as humans by this inhuman act so that peace and harmony prevails once and for all through justice.

At VOICE Charter School, we empower our teachers to truly teach. At many schools, mandatory paced-by-the-hour lesson plans force teachers to abandon important topics, even if students never "got" what was being taught. At VOICE Charter School, a flexible workshop approach to curriculum allows our educators to spend more time in the places where students need attention and to move more quickly past what they easily understand.
learn the way we
teach, maybe
we should teach the
way they learn."
Ignatio Estrada
VOICE Charter School will be expanding over the next several years, growing from a K-1 to a K-8 institution, and will be adding high-powered, motivated educators to join its faculty. To see a list of positions currently open, click here.
An Interview with Mr. Larry Berman and Ms. Jennifer Murray VOICE Music 1st Grade Teachers
One thing that come us a lot here is this idea of a Professional Learning Community and working as a team. What does that mean?
Ms. Murray: Larry and I work very closely together. We're talking everyday. We're teaching the same lesson, so we talk about what we'll be teaching everyday. Afterwards, we talk about what worked and what didn't and what our kids did and didn't "get." If we had similar experiences, we can devise new, better ways to teach.
Mr. Berman: And the school is small enough that the feedback can be immediate. What I'm about to teach, Jennifer just taught or is just about to teach. Our doors are always open so we can give each other heads up and say, "try it this way. This works better." Or, "don't try it this way. It's too confusing."
Ms. Murray: Not only can we give heads up to each other, we can give it to other grade levels. First grade can help Kindergarten as well. If we have any resources we can share, we share them. Other than the topics themselves–the curriculums are the same, so Kindergarten might do a similar unit a week before us or after us.
VOICE is a new school and a charter school. Is it different working here compared other schools?
Ms. Murray: You feel a sense of autonomy in that you're building something new.
Mr. Berman: Since this is the first year this school is open, there's a lot of extra legwork, but the idea is we have a sense of ownership over what we are creating.
VOICE is also a school with a heavy focus on music and singing. How does what you do interact with that?
Mr. Berman: I have no musical background whatsoever, so I don't directly add to what Ms. Ley is doing. But, for instance, last week we did a unit on Mexico and at the same time the students were learning about the music of Mexico, so there was a crossing over. And I find myself always singing and humming now...
Ms. Murray: Me too, not that I'm very good...
Mr. Berman: And that's part of all of this. The kids see me learning as they're learning and they say, "hey, Mr. Berman is trying to learn this, too."
Ms. Murray: That really sends a positive message to the kids that we're all still trying and learning–everyday.

It's generally best to avoid combining antidepressants and alcohol. It may worsen your symptoms, and in some cases it can be dangerous. Here are a few things that might happen if you do mix antidepressants and alcohol:
Don't stop taking an antidepressant or other medication just so that you can drink. Most antidepressants require taking a consistent, daily dose to maintain a constant level in your system and work as intended. Stopping and starting your medications can make your depression worse.
While it's generally best not to drink at all if you're depressed, ask your doctor. It may be OK to have an occasional drink depending on your particular situation. Tell your doctor about any other health conditions you might have and any other medications you take, including herbal supplements.

LAS VEGAS -- In a close Senate campaign, Nevada's growing Hispanic vote is becoming more crucial.
While Democrat Harry Reid's campaign actively pursues Hispanic media interviews, Spanish language broadcasters and newspapers say they're getting shut out by Republican Sharron Angle's campaign.
Hispanic media journalists are tracking the Senate campaign alongside their English language colleagues. But the editor of Spanish language newspaper El Tiempo says in 30 years, he's never experienced such a shutout as his team is getting from Angle's campaign.
"We never receive information, press releases, information on the place for talking with the community. Nothing," said Editor in Chief Hernando Amaya.
Hispanic television and radio reporters say the same.
Miguel Barrientos with KLAV-AM says calls to the Angle campaign go unanswered for weeks, leaving Hispanic media outlets at a loss to inform the community about the issues that affect them.
In contrast, Angle campaign spokespeople give statements and issue press releases to English language reporters. Amaya feels ignored by the campaign.
"For us, it's very important that a candidate, Sharron Angle, and other candidates talk with our reporters," he said.
Hispanic voters in Clark County trend to the Democrats. But 7,000 out of 24,000 Hispanic voters went Republican in the last off-year election. Keeping them informed and willing to turn out on election day could be the key, something Senator Reid has on his mind.
"I do a call with Hispanic media every three or four weeks, just with Hispanic media. I include Hispanic media in every event that I do. Why? Because they're a part of modern day media. Why shouldn't I," he said.
A spokesman for Angle's campaign said they "want Sharon's message to get out to all Nevada voters," so they'll "be doing more outreach to both Spanish and English language media."
The Angle campaign held an event on Monday. 8 News NOW and Hispanic media outlets were not invited.

shoes are very stick which is great for keeping them wellnanted on your pedals down bumpy terrain, also shoes look great and are easy to walk in. i love the little cali license plate in the back of the heel. nice touch!
Serious Protection

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The reinforced heel and toe cup on these shoes have literally saved me from breaking toes or bones in my feet multiple times. Whether loose rocks are blowing up underneath you and banging on your bottom bracket or your trails have a lot of tree stumps looking to take off your toes, these are the only way to go. They are the strongest shoes I have ever owned, but they may also be the heaviest. If you don't require a lot of protection I wouldn't recommend the Danny's, due to their weight and breathability. These are a warm shoe to be wearing in TX but protection comes before comfort, especially when it comes to my feet. Lots of style on these shoes; they look even better in person. Machine washable but they take a while to dry (again due to their weight). I got them on deal and wish I would have grabbed 2 pairs! Comfortable protection that will last, no questions asked.
The Best!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are my favorite platform shoes. Fit much like the Freeriders, but have the best foot bed ever! I have even used the foot bed in my other MTB shoes.
Very sticky and true to size.
Ride well and wear well off the trail.
Sara Gress
Member since
How wide do they run? I have a fairly narrow foot, but regularly wear men's shoes because there are a lot more options with men's outdoor clothing for whatever reason. I am a size 9 (ish) in men's, my only issue is that sometimes men's shoes fit like boats with the width
Laura K Stewart

Sara, They run very true to size and not as wide as a traditional "Skate" style sneaker.
can you lower the price for a little bit...

can you lower the price for a little bit longer time??

Dear Preferred Meal Systems: Please go awayDana Woldowbyline' Dec. 17' 2012
Much has been made of the fact that Revolution Foods, which recently was declared the low bidder for SFUSD's new fresh school meals contract, is a local, Oakland-based company, while the current contract holder, Preferred Meal System Inc., is headquartered in Illinois. However, PMSI has a local connection too; its parent company Prepared Meal Holdings Inc., is part of the portfolio of companies owned by Swander Pace Capital, a private equity firm with offices at 100 Spear Street in downtown San Francisco. That's where Shawn Hecht, chairman of Prepared Meal Holdings Inc., and a managing director of Swander Pace, has his office. It is to Mr. Hecht, chairman of Preferred's parent company, that this open letter is addressed.

A vehicle crashed into an electric pole near the intersection of the 56th Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Tampa Tuesday morning causing the intersection to close.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies are investigating the crash. They told us, a Ford F150 going south on 56th Street hit a Toyota Camry traveling eastbound on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The Camry then smashed into the Tampa Electric pole.
The pole broke in half and fell on the roadway. TECO crews reported to the scene as well as Florida Department of Transportation responders.
The Ford driver Clark Benson, 72, of Tampa was not injured. Eriaius Bentley, 20, who was driving the Camry, and his passenger Gwendolyn House, 41, were transported to St. Joseph's Hospital with complaints of pain.
HCSO deputies opened the intersection after a few hours after the repair crews fixed up the damages.

During their time in Bolivia, students have the opportunity to live with three different homestay families. Intellectually, homestays form a cornerstone of SIT's experiential learning model by offering students the unique opportunity to take knowledge from lectures and readings to the dinner table, as students engage their families in discussions about the topics they are studying. Living with a family also gives students an authentic and more intimate place in which to practice and refine their Spanish language skills.
Given the programmatic interest in the relationship between families and well-being, the homestay element provides particular insight here by offering students a place, however temporary, in these support systems. Furthermore, by living with three distinct families, students will productively complicate their emerging understandings about family and community well-being in three different sites, comparing urban to rural and Andean to Amazonian, allowing them to form a more elaborate understanding of each.
Urban homestay in Cochabamba
The first homestay allows students to live with a family in Cochabamba for six weeks, either in an urban or suburban neighborhood. While homestay families are mostly middle class, they are very diverse in terms of occupation, family size, region of origin in Bolivia, and location in the city. As a larger group, the families provide students with a more complex set of life experiences within the same city and general class definition.
Rural homestay with an Ayamara family
Students take part in a second homestay for three days in a rural farming area. The homestay takes place with Aymara families on the shores of Lake Titicaca. During the rural stay, students share their host family's daily activities. If they are planting or harvesting, the students partner with their hosts to lend a hand. If there are sheep to tend, students typically help as well. Students also share in a community meal called an apthapi and join in ayni, collective community work. Furthering their understandings of pluralism and continuing in their consideration of the role of spirituality and resilience, students have the opportunity to engage with a unique Aymara shaman who is also a Catholic priest and who is building (with participating SIT students) an interfaith center on the edge of the village.
Amazonian homestay
Students also participate in a two-day rural homestay with an indigenous group in the Bolivian Amazon. They have the opportunity to share in daily village life, which might include activities such as farming, weaving, playing with children, or helping to cook meals. While the exact experience of this homestay will vary, as an example, past students have stayed in a Chiquitana community outside of Concepción originally founded by ex-slaves and have interacted with the last woman in Bolivia to speak one of the native languages of the area.
Other accommodations during the program include hostels, private homes, or small hotels.

Nearly 2,000 retail accounts have signed up this year as participating stores for Free Comic Book Day—also a record number of participating stores—and expectations are high. Comic book publishing heavyweights Dark Horse Comics, DC Entertainment, IDW Publishing, Image Comics and Marvel Comics are among the many sponsors delivering special titles for 'Free Comic Book Day 2013.'"
"Free Comic Book Day" is designed to appeal to a broad range of tastes, including action-packed superhero stories featuring DC's Superman and Marvel's Infinity title; sci-fi adventure set in the Star Wars universe; humorous comics featuring SpongeBob SquarePants and The Simpsons; and comics especially for kids and younger fans featuring The Smurfs, Sesame Street, and Strawberry Shortcake.
"We've got a lot of great things for our customers and the community to enjoy on that day," said Kelly Lyons, co-owner of Lyons Den Comic Book and Game Store. "We will have superheroes like Batman, Batgirl, Wonder Woman and Catwoman handing out the free books as well as local comic creators Aaron Williamson and Danny Allain available for autographs, pictures and you can purchase some original artwork from them as well."

I don't know if last night's GOP presidential debate in Arizona was the 22nd or the 122nd, but it had to be devastating for those wanting an important debate on the issues. It was a debate of silliness, pandering, and grown men giving themselves the thumbs up as if they said something clever. Perhaps it was because they were all sitting and too relaxed. The candidates would have been at home if the debate had been held at any elementary schoolyard. It's a shame because all four candidates have held a responsible public office.
This was supposed to be an important debate for Mitt Romney because the polls showed that Rick Santorum had the momentum in the upcoming primaries. I expected Santorum to go on offense, but instead he spent all night defending votes and principals just to be a team player. It's the reason longtime senators never become president. There are so many riders, amendments and brokered deals that go down with every piece of legislation, it's impossible to remain a purist. It was clear to me that Romney won the debate, and Newt Gingrich came in a close second because he was a happy warrior with no chance of regaining his frontrunner status, unless Santorum stumbled. Ron Paul did his bit for Mitt Romney, by continuing his attack on Rick Santorum for being a fake conservative. Enough with the "not conservative enough" there's about 25 made-up versions, merge as many as you like, and move on. That's hurting Mitt and Rick; die hard values 10 years ago are considered the unthinkable moderate views of today. A pundit said that they spent 20 minutes arguing about earmarks. Earmarks are less than 1% of the budget and every legislator, governor or president has benefited from them, regardless of political party.
When CNN's John King presented a question about the candidate's views on contraception, the partisan Republican crowd responded with loud boos, and the candidates responded accordingly. Now wait a minute, if the candidates are allowed to go on the stump speech and hurl charges of religious persecution against the president, then they should be able to back up their rhetoric on the national stage. It allowed Newt Gingrich to use his usual inflammatory tone to say, "You did not once during the 2008 campaign ask why Barack Obama voted in favor of legalizing infanticide." This is the same Newt that got angry when John King asked him about his ex-wife's testimony about his views on open marriage. That's the reason I want Rick Santorum to win the GOP nomination. Let's get all the social issues on the table and let the voters decide.
This morning, I heard Senator Kristen Gellibrand (D-NY) say, "if women controlled 51% of Congress, we wouldn't be having a discussion on contraception, but instead we would be focusing on the economy." She said that women would rather be left alone to make their own decisions on women's health issues; amen to that!
The issue that scares me the most is the constant drumbeats for war by three Republican candidates and the lone dissenter wanting to ignore the issue. Last night Ron Paul said that we had no evidence that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon, but that's just not true. Gingrich, Santorum and Romney are saying that Obama is too soft on Iran; simply do not know what they are talking about. The sanctions our country has put on Iran are as severe as any that has ever been imposed on a country, which we were never officially at war with. The answer is; there no easy answers and those who continually espouse" America exceptionalism" usually have strings attached. Mitt Romney practically guaranteed that Iran would get a nuclear weapon if Obama gets reelected. Mr. Romney does not have any faith in our country, unless he's at the helm.
They could've bypassed the economics' segment, and they pretty much did because their tax proposals would balloon the extraordinary debt we currently have and Ron Paul's one trillion dollar cut in his first year would send us back into recession. Romney and Santorum tried to make the success of GM sound like an economic failure, but it's only a failure in the eyes of those who believe in supply-side economics.
Hopefully, this will be the last debate because the results of Michigan might eliminate Romney. It would then be followed by Super Tuesday when several states are voting, and the fate of Santorum and Gingrich will be at stake. I don't look for Ron Paul to drop out because he's in it to acquire delegates, as some kind of leverage. Then again, I can't see the GOP picking up the tab for a Paul-Romney debate. I can't see any network wanting to cover it.

The NFL Lockout is, apparently, legal. Good thing they clarified that.
Some details are emerging about the proposed CBA from the NFL Owners meeting in Chicago.
It looks like we might be getting closer to an agreement in the NFL Labor wars.
Sports Business Journal is reporting that the NFL and the NFLPA* could have the framework for an agreement hammered out within two weeks.
The Commissioner doesn't think you know basic economics.
The lockout is going to stay in place for now. Isn't that great? (Hint: The answer is "no.")
Pro Football Talk is reporting that the National Football League could, potentially, shut down. No, that is not a typo.
The NFL is expected to appeal to the Eighth Circuit Court and ask them for a stay as well, but for now, the lockout is still lifted. The NFL will be telling the teams how to proceed on Thursday. But, for now, it looks like things could get pretty interesting.
Roger Goodell wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. Hellfire and brimstone coming soon.
If the lockout is lifted, it could potentially be very good news for the Minnesota Vikings, particularly on the free agency front.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) delivered a sold mixed martial arts (MMA) card for free television last night (Weds., Oct. 9, 2013), providing us an action-packed evening of fights at UFC Fight Night 29: "Maia vs. Shields," which emanated from Jose Correa Gymnasium in Barueri, Brazil.
In the main event, jiu-jitsu and grappling fans rejoiced -- with others being totally dissatisfied -- as they watched Demian Maia and Jake Shields engage in a competitive, five-round grapple fest in which American jiu-jitsu prevailed (watch full fight video highlights here).
Shields got the split decision nod over Maia, getting the best of the home crowd favorite by utilizing his wrestling and power throughout the fight. The fans were likely upset that their man Maia was losing, but if they were dissatisfied with the fight in general, what did they expect ... a slugfest?
In the co-main event, we were treated to a back-and-forth war between Dong Hyun Kim and Erick Silva, who brought the fireworks to Brazil. If the fight itself was exciting, the ending was spine-tingling, as Dong Hyun Kim scored what could have been his biggest win in the promotion by knocking out Erick Silva with one punch (watch full fight video highlights here).
Unfortunately, in a sport like MMA, each bout can only have one winner and one loser. Earning a victory inside the world-famous Octagon is the highest of highs, while suffering defeat in front of millions of viewers can be the lowest of lows.
Every competitor who steps foot in the eight-walled cage is looking for that moment of glory. Some of it capture it, others don't. There were several shining stars on UFC Fight Night 29, including career-defining performances and unexpected finishes. With that being said, it's time to name the biggest winner and biggest loser from the event in Brazil.
Drum roll please ...
Biggest Winner -- Dong Hyun Kim
Despite being wilted, on the brink of being finished, throwing terrible spinning elbows and grabbing the fence for good measure when he needed to, "Stun Gun" stunned the crowd by knocking out Silva, finishing the fight by strikes, something he has not done since 2008.
Kim had a decent first round and besides not being able to get the better of Silva in the striking department, he took him down, used his wrestling skills and began to nullify the Brazilian.
After Silva rocked Kim multiple times in the second round, Kim landed a counter-left hand out of nowhere and followed up with unnecessary punches -- knocking out the fan favorite in Brazil.
"Stun Gun" was a man on a mission before he lost to Carlos Condit in 2011, who eventually went on to win the interim Welterweight championship. Now Kim can look toward rebuilding that form en route to a title shot that probably isn't right around the corner, which doesn't seem to faze him in the slightest.
If you look at Kim's last two losses, one was against Condit and the other was against Maia, where he suffered a freak rib injury at UFC 148. He is now on a three-fight win streak, and if you count two losses, his UFC record is highly respectable (9-2-(1). There is no shame in losing to arguably one of the two best guys in the division, especially since the Maia fight was cut short.
"Stun Gun" has reloaded and is now a man rejuvenated.
Runner Up -- Jake Shields
It was ugly, grueling and somewhat expected -- Shields got the nod over Maia in a hard-fought battle in Brazil. It was his "American Jiu-Jitsu" that prevailed as he was able to defeat a Brazilian in Brazil by focusing on his grappling and his combination of wrestling / jiu-jitsu.
This win is exactly what the doctor prescribed for the Cesar Gracie-trained product because there was a notion that his job was on the line. He had only two wins out of his last five and currently riding a two-fight win streak. He can now breathe and move toward improving his standing in the packed Welterweight division.
To beat Maia is a feather in his cap itself, although to edge the man in his own country in front of thousands of fans against him as an underdog, is something he can savor for some time.
Biggest Loser -- Erick Silva
"Indio" did not have the worst of nights leading up to his knockout loss -- he was electric, ferocious and full of fire. He simply got caught with a counter for which he didn't anticipate.
It happens.
What is troubling is that Silva has now lost to two superior opponents in the promotion, Jon Fitch and Kim. And it does not look like he can excel and do exceptionally well against the higher ranked fighters of the division. He could bounce back, and at age 29, it is nowhere near over for him. It is just a frustrating scenario where he will meet lower-card competition, crush them, but then hit a few roadblocks who will shatter his hopes to climb up the ranks.
What we have seen from his stand up is satisfactory (supplementary to the way the fight ended) yet his grappling -- more important, his wrestling -- has not improved. If he is pitted up against a wrestler again it could be a nightmare for him.
Silva simply has to improve in that aspect. And then, maybe, we can talk about him living up to his full potential.
Runner Up -- Mike Pierce
After talking a lot of smack and saying he is pissed off for having to fight a cheat like Rousimar Palhares (not to mention calling him an asshole, too), Pierce saw his four-fight win streak come to a halt after succumbing to a heel hook, adding his ankle to the Brazilian's collection (watch full fight video highlights here).
Pierce had a forgettable evening for several reasons -- he engaged in grappling with his opponent, a one-trick pony who has the ability to submit anyone if they play his game. Pierce should have stood up and traded for a little bit before trying to grind out his opponent, which he obviously did not respect enough.
It also kills any possibility of Pierce being on the main card again until he wins emphatically, since the middle of a four-fight win streak was not even enough to grant him a shot there.
Finally, after calling his opponent a cheat, among other names previously mentioned, he lost in 31 seconds, which pretty much sums it up.

Shelby Morgan Headlines A-Sun Softball Postseason Honors
FORT MYERS, Fla. – After claiming a share of the Atlantic Sun conference regular season title, five FGCU softball players picked up postseason honors on Tuesday, highlighted by freshman Shelby Morgan (High Springs, Fla./Santa Fe HS) being named Pitcher of the Year, announced by the league office. The A-Sun All-Conference teams are voted on by the conference head coaches.
"I am very proud of this group of players who were recognized on the postseason teams," said head coach David Deiros. "Their individual success helped us earn the No. 1 seed and a share of the regular season title. They all worked hard as a team and it is great to see the conference award these players for their efforts."
Joining Morgan on the A-Sun All-Conference first team is sophomore catcher Chelsea Zgrabik (Venice, Fla./Venice HS), who was a unanimous selection, and sophomore outfielder Jessica Barnes (Winter Haven, Fla./Haines City HS). Sophomores Kirsten Bembnowski (Palm Harbor, Fla./East Lake) and Emily Lanier (St. Cloud, Fla./Harmony) second team honors, while Morgan was a unanimous selection to the All-Freshmen team.
This is Morgan's first All-Conference honor becoming the first-ever Eagle to earn Pitcher of the Year honors. She also was a unanimous All-Freshmen team selection for the Green and Blue.
Morgan is having an outstanding freshman campaign with a 20-6 overall record with a 1.37 ERA, which is 20th in the nation. The High Springs, Fla. product was even better in A-Sun games holding opponents to a league-best .171 batting average and had three shutouts against Kennesaw State, Lipscomb and ETSU. Morgan finished the conference season with an 8-1 record on eight complete games and an A-Sun leading 0.68 ERA.
Picked as a unanimous first team catcher, Zgrabik led the A-Sun in multiple categories during conference play including, home runs (8), RBI (24), average (.439), hits (25), Slugging percentage (.965), doubles (6) and total bases (55). The Venice, Fla native had 12 multi-hit games and 13 multi-RBI games for the Eagles. She blasted two home runs against ETSU, including a grand slam and enters postseason play with a 10-game hitting streak.
Rounding out the first team honors, Barnes earns her first postseason honor after leading the team with 24 stolen bases, while batting leadoff. Barnes had a breakout sophomore season leading the team with 42 runs scored and was second on the team with a .319 batting average. The Winter Haven, Fla. product had 10 multi-hit games and four multi-RBI contests. Her six home runs were third on the team and she was third in the A-Sun with 33 walks. Barnes had a huge series against Jacksonville helping the Eagles sweep the Dolphins with a home run, three RBI and a game winning single to win game two.
FGCU landed two players on the All-Conference second team with Bembnowski picking up her second postseason accolade after landing on the All-Freshmen team last season. Bembnowski was stellar at third base with 115 assists, while offensively posting a .302 average with 11 multi-hit outings and five multi-RBI games. The Palm Harbor, Fla. product hit five home runs, nine doubles and tied for third on the team with 26 RBI. Bembnowski was second in fielding percentage (.981) for infielders having only three errors on the season.
Joining Bembnowski on the second team, Lanier earned her second postseason award after being named to the All-Freshmen team last year. Lanier led the league in on base percentage (.525) during league play and was fifth with a .378 batting average. The St. Cloud, Fla. native had eight multi-hit and multi-RBI games. Lanier was tied for third in the A-Sun with 11 doubles and was third on the team with a .308 batting average.
The Green and Blue finished the regular season with a 34-22 record and a 14-4 mark in the A-Sun. The Eagles are going into their first-ever postseason tournament as the No. 1 seed after claiming their second A-Sun regular season title.
FGCU will play the winner of the game between fourth-seeded Lipscomb and fifth-seeded Jacksonville on Wednesday, May 9 at 3 p.m. The Eagles await the winner on Thursday, May 10 at 12:30 at Cyrill Stadium on the campus of USC Upstate.

Town Square
being harrassed at home- you are next
Original post made by James on Sep 1, 2010
they came back, and i told them no, i wasn't interested. they upped the price but i still said no thanks. then they made a comment, why not sell a car you don't use much? I'd like to know how they know I don't drive that car every day!
this is a young couple, hard to determine their nationality- maybe middle eastern. they are very persistent and don't want to take no for an answer. they are driving a brand new black GMC SUV.
I called the non-emergency police number and told them. they said there is nothing they can do about this harassment. if these people come back and i can hold them here while i call the police, then they might come out to talk to them.
what the sam hill is the use of a police department if they can't protect me from being harassed in my own home? i have no idea what these people are capable of doing if they don't get their way. i feel like i have some mafia goons on one side and useless cops on the other.
no wonder people buy guns to defend themselves and their homes and families. you are not protected or safe even here in pleasanton. the cops sure won't lift a finger.
on Sep 1, 2010 at 4:28 pm
I wouldn't say that the "useless cops" aren't doing their job.
Photograph the people that are pressuring you to sell your car. Post on line, send to the PPD, FBI, and all NorCal TV stations.
now shut up and get back under your rock...tee hee hee, eeh eeh eet!
you bud in struggle...Cholo
on Sep 1, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Do you have their license plate number, a name? anything? That is probably why police can't help you. And by the way, even I know which neighbors' cars are not driven often, so that does not mean automatic stalking; they probably noticed your car, like it, and made an offer; just tell them you are not selling it right now, but if you decide to change your mind, ask for their contact information. Be nice about it and problem resolved.
on Sep 1, 2010 at 4:29 pm
You are certainly correct that we all should have a right to protect ourselves and our family. McNerney and other Democrats want to take this right (2nd Amendment) away. Go arm yourself and I suggest taking a gun safety class if you haven't already.

Colts defensive tackle Eric Foster was carted off the field during Monday's game against the Buccaneers after suffering a gruesome injury to his right leg. According to Phillip Wilson of the Indianapolis Star, we have an official diagnosis:
The Colts probably won't offer an official estimate for how much time Foster will miss, but looking at the video, it wouldn't be a surprise at all if this was a season-ending injury. His right ankle was literally pointing 90 degrees in the wrong direction after teammate Tyler Brayton accidentally rolled into his legs.
The Colts have shown signs of life in Monday's game, but this is clearly something of a lost year. Even if Foster can stage a miraculous return by the end of the season, the odds of the Colts still being in playoff contention are slim to none.
Foster is in his fourth season with the Colts, signing with the team as an undrafted free agent out of Rutgers in 2008. He's appeared in 48 games, including 18 starts.

A Basel ABC - Part 1/2 (Travel Tips)
Sabrina Leuenberger, Direct Sales & Services Manager Scandinavia & Finland
Hi there!
I guess you grow more aware of your roots if you live abroad. In my case, I've recovered my love for my home town of Basel, and I am very happy that SWISS now brings it even closer to Scandinavia with its new six-times-weekly Basel-Copenhagen flight.
If you ask someone what Basel is famous for, they will probably say its pharmaceuticals industry, its football club and its three crazy days of carnival in late winter. But Basel is much more than that. I see Basel as the "underdog" among Switzerland's bigger cities.
So to bring Basel closer not only to the Nordics, but also maybe to some of you, here is my personal "Basel ABC":
A Atlantis
The Atlantis restaurant/bar/club, located in the city centre, is an institution. Founded way back in 1947, it's also known as the "Tis" among locals and visitors alike.
B Barfüsserplatz
This square is the very heart of Basel. Get yourself an ice cream, sit down and watch the people pass by. Or spread out and discover the nearby shopping streets.
C Cargo Bar
The Cargo Bar is located directly on the Rhine, and is usually packed with Basel's urban and alternative crowd. The perfect place for a summertime beer.
D Dreiländereck
Like to spend some time in Germany or France? No problem: Basel borders on both countries. So why not stroll over to France for a tasty baguette?
E Eoipso
This bar is located in an old factory area. The cocktails are made with love and fresh fruit.
F FC Basel
They say that FC Basel, the local soccer team, had more fans watching their games when they were playing in a lower league (years ago) than many a top-league team attracts today. A home match is well worth seeing, for the atmosphere and the stadium (Switzerland's biggest) alone.
This street, which leads from Barfüsserplatz to Marktplatz, has nice small shops as well as many places for lunch or a coffee.
H Herbstmesse
Two weeks in autumn when you can feel like a small child again (at least I do). A big funfair all over the city with many attractions and good – but maybe not too healthy – food. My favourite is the classic Ferris Wheel, which lets you see the city from another perspective.
I I love Carnival
"Die drey scheenschte Däg" (the three nicest days) for all inhabitants are the days during Carnival in late winter. Basel is transformed into a madhouse, the mood is unique, and the people celebrate like there is no tomorrow.
J Jä or Jo
There are two different ways of saying YES in Basel. But it is a well-kept secret when which YES has its turn. (I once heard that "Jä" is closing and "Jo" continuative, like "Yes, but…").
K Kaserne
This place has a lot going on for many tastes. You may like to check out the monthly "Antz in the Pantz" party series, with DJs proving their good taste in funk music and a crowd that's definitely running high.
L Läckerli
Basel's sweet speciality, and an absolute must. You can find their store on Gerbergasse.

Very pleased town council has common sense in stopping this type of business to operate in our town.
on Nov 16, 2009 at 10:10 pm
For such a republican town you'd think they would approve anything that has the capacity to generate substantial revenue, especially since the topic at hand poses little threat to the community; not to mention the problem is already overwhelming so why not capitalize on the opportunity to regulate it?!?!

Oh yes keep your little town image safe and sound on the surface. And the comment from Parent...is a typical parent with their head is the sand...You people.....

It's a rarity in government...downsizing staff.
But that is what the state tax department has been able to do over the last few years -- while at the same time taking on more work.
Acting tax commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger was in Minot today continuing his kick-off tour announcing his candidacy for the position that he was named to by the governor late last year when Cory Fong announced his retirement.
He said last tax season about 410-thousand individual tax filers were processed through the department -- that's a large increase over the last few years.
Still, with that increase, the department has been able to downsize its personnel thanks to the benefits of technology.
(Ryan Rauschenberger - ND State Tax Commissioner) "It is a win-win situation. It is better for the taxpayers and it is better for our department. We have actually been able to decrease our employees from 155 when Cory (Fong) started as commissioner to 134. That is due to increasing, on our end, our IT infrastructure. We are more efficient then we used to be and I think more effective. We are able to respond to taxpayers more frequently because we are dealing with less paper. The system does a lot of the work for us."
Refunds back in some cases in just a few days now thanks to e-filing.
Rauschenberger is seeking the Republican endorsement for the office of tax commissioner.
This week, the first Democrat announced his intentions to run for the office -- Jason Astrup -- a Fargo attorney.
Chantelle Pepple says she hopes people will have a greater appreciation for what "this monster took from this world and my family."

"One of the 'Least Popular' Numbers"
It was called the "least popular" number in college basketball, according to an article on rivals.com.
That's No. 53, a set of digits reserved for centers in football and bench-warming post players in basketball. No one wants it.
Check again.
No mention was made of Bernard King and Steve Ray, each of whom wore No. 53 at Tennessee. Nor did anybody mention Rick Robey at Kentucky.
Then there were Ron Widby, the late Don Johnson, Larry Mansfield, and Sid Elliott, all of whom wore No. 53 on the road, while wearing No. 52 at home, during their Tennessee careers. Ralph Chancey is pictured on p. 80 in Ben Byrd's "The Basketball Vols" wearing the number 53 on the 1942-43 hoops team.
The No. 53 is not quite the anathema to good taste that people might have expected, at least not at Tennessee.
It's part of tradition and history.
A number is only a number.

ATLANTA (AP) - Officials at Atlanta's zoo are on giant panda birth watch.
An ultrasound performed June 30 confirmed that 15-year-old giant panda Lun Lun is expecting her fourth cub. She is believed to be nearing her due date.
Beginning Wednesday, Zoo Atlanta staff has Lun Lun under 24-hour monitoring in a behind-the-scenes den. A live PandaCam video feed is running 24 hours online so panda fans around the world can watch and wait along with zoo staff.
The cub will be the first giant panda born in the U.S. this year. It will be the fourth for Lun Lun and her partner Yang Yang. All four pregnancies have resulted from artificial insemination.

The ocean covers nearly three-fourths of the globe and is home to nearly half of the world's known species, with countless yet to be discovered. Producing almost half of the oxygen in the atmosphere, it also absorbs vast amounts of carbon dioxide.
The ocean helps support more than 250 million people who depend directly or indirectly on fishing for their livelihoods, and provides the main source of animal protein to more than 2.6 billion people. The oceans play an essential role in sustaining life on our planet, but human activities are increasingly threatening their health. Research shows that very large, fully protected marine reserves are key to rebuilding species abundance and diversity and protecting the overall health of the marine environment.
Global Ocean Legacy, a project of Pew and its partners, is working with local communities, governments and scientists around the world to protect and conserve some of our most important and unspoiled ocean environments.
Together we are establishing the world's first generation of great marine parks by securing the designation of large, fully protected reserves. To date, our efforts have helped to double the amount of safeguarded ocean habitat worldwide.

The dining is great and a good menu.
Like I said it's great opportunities at my college different interns you can sign up for. As far as scholarship banquets and student leadership retreats teaching the student how important it is to be a leader before and after graduation. Campus life and social is good.
Student life is wonderful always a helping hand. They also give us a chance to interact with the alums from back in the day it's a great opportunity to see what the college looked like back in the day. Always a place to clear your head and study for finals or a test and midterms.
You know what they say at an HBCU you'll always problems but for me it was a piece of cake I got the help I needed and things went great

The cafe on campus is fair it's not what we want but it's what we need very healthy and sometimes good

We have people from all over the world to come get an education at Wiley yes they're different and talk different but in Wiley eyes everyone is human and there for a purpose.

The athletics sports on Wiley College campus are a big part of the college. School spirit if heavy from the facilities and staff and alumni are alway there to support! I feel like they get very good students to be apart of a great school and also who can be their best effort in what they love to do.

NPR's Terry Gross interviews journalist Charles Duhigg on the status of American drinking water and how "one in 10 Americans have been exposed to drinking water that contains dangerous chemicals, parasites, bacteria or viruses, or fails to meet federal health standards."
Listen to the full interview here:
Duhigg reports on the "worsening pollution in American waters" — and regulators' responses to the problem — in his New York Times series, "Toxic Waters." In researching the series, he studied thousands of water pollution records, which he obtained via the Freedom of Information Act.
PBS will be airing a two-hour-long documentary based on Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire, (via Kottke.org).
A fantastic story by NPR about the rise in prescription drug use and its relationship to advertising:
Selling Sickness: How Drug Ads Changed Health Care
Prescription drug spending is the third most expensive cost in our health care system. And spending seems to grow larger every year. Just last year, the average American got 12 prescriptions a year, as compared to 1992, when Americans got an average of seven prescriptions. In a decade and a half, the use of prescription medication went up 58 percent. This has added about $180 billion to our medical spending.
While there are more medicines on the market today than in 1992, researchers estimate that around 20 percent of the $180 billion increase has absolutely nothing to do with the number of medications available, or increases in the cost of that medication.
Why the increase in spending? Advertising! But why the spike in advertising during the 90's?
In the early 1980s, FDA regulations required that drug ads include both the name of a drug and its purpose, as well as information about all the side effects. But side-effect information often took two or three magazine pages of mouse print to catalog, and this wouldn't do for a major television campaign.
Flash forward to today...
Today, drug companies spend $4 billion a year on ads to consumers. In 1997, the FDA rules governing pharmaceutical advertising changed, and now companies can name both the drug and what it's for, while only naming the most significant potential side effects. Then, the number of ads really exploded. The Nielsen Company estimates that there's an average of 80 drug ads every hour of every day on American television. And those ads clearly produce results:
Quite fascinating. Read (or listen to) the full article here.
