Former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have teamed up for a new leadership initiative.
A Texarkana, Arkansas, man was arrested Monday on a Caddo Parish Sheriff's warrant for extorting Cole Vosbury, a contestant on the television music competition "The Voice."
The 22-year-old singer is from Shreveport, and continues to advance in the show, winning his 'battle round' this week. When he's not competing on national television, Vosbury performs with his band The Vosbury Trio in Shreveport.
Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator said Harold Glen Martin spoke with Vosbury several months ago about performing at a benefit concert. The deal was never finalized, and Vosbury left the area to compete on "The Voice" in California. Once the program featuring Vosbury began airing on national TV, Martin allegedly threatened to defame Vosbury in the national media unless he agreed to perform multiple free concerts at Martin's discretion.
Caddo Sheriff's Detective Bobby Herring investigated the case and said there is no proof that Martin ever intended to produce a benefit concert. He also said Martin's threats have intensified as Vosbury's popularity has grown.
Herring got an arrest warrant for Martin on Monday, and the 63-year-old was arrested at his home by the Texarkana, Arkansas, Police Department. He is expected to be transferred to Caddo Parish on Tuesday.

Piraeus is the gateway to the ancient city of Athens, known as the "Cradle of Western Civilization" because of its immense impact on cultural and political achievements throughout the world. Due mainly to tourism and the 2004 Olympics, Greece has redeveloped many sites in Athens. A historian's delight, Athens is home to such magnificent wonders as: the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the atmospheric winding streets of the Plaka, Temple of Olympian Zeus and Temple of Athena Nike, and the Archaeological Museum with the world's finest collection of ancient artifacts.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
Traveling by coach from the pier, this tour will provide you with an excellent introduction to one of the great cities of the ancient world. Some of the sites you will see along your tour route will be the Olympic Stadium where the Olympic Games were revived in 1896 and again returned in 2004, the former Royal Palace, which is now the Parliament Building, Constitution Square and the Monument to the Unknown Soldier.
Your first stop will be a visit to the Acropolis, a symbol of the glory of ancient Greece. Experience the same awe climbing the smooth marble steps as visitors have for centuries. History will literally open before you as you reach the Propylaea, one of the masterpieces of classical architecture which serves as the entrance to the complex of buildings. During your visit you will see the Temple of Athena Nike (Wingless Victory), and the Erectheum, with its classical Porch of Maidens, the Caryatids. Stand in amazement of what is considered by many to be the most perfect example of classical architecture in the world - the Parthenon, designed as a shrine to Athena and at one time housing a massive gold and ivory statue of the warrior goddess.
Gazing down from the Acropolis, you can view the two ancient theaters that rest in its shadow, the Greek theater of Dionyssos where the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes were first presented to delighted audiences, and the theater of Herod Atticus, a grand Roman theater restored and still used today for concerts and classical plays during the summer Athens Festival.
Following your visit of the Acropolis, you will re-board your coach and proceed to the Historical Center of Athens for a guided walking tour and free time for lunch and shopping in Plaka. At the conclusion of your tour, your coach will return you to the pier.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2 hours of walking and/or standing, plus any additional walking at the guests' discretion during free time and there is a considerable amount of steps to negotiate at the Acropolis (approximately 80); therefore, this tour is not considered suitable for wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Order of sights visited may vary. The actual tour duration may vary due to traffic conditions.

"beautiful resolution, super fast delivery, 2nd time I have ordered from tiny prints, I am very impressed! I love that you have overseas delivery!"
"My cards turned out great. The colors are fantastic. I thought the wording/title went nicely for my situation... a VERY late new year's card. I liked that it didn't say Happy New Year on it."
"I couldn't have been more pleased with this product. It is awesome - quality, color and delivery. Perfect! The name of the card is "Beyond Happy" and that sums up my rating!"
"When I set it up one of my pics had bad lighting but I liked the pic so used it anyway. It came out really good! I had not used the studio basics before because I thought it would be too much like a Walmart card. It was not at all. The paper quality was great. Not flimsy or shiny. Will use studio basics again. The card design was very cute, too."
"Thank You for helping to make this Christmas one of our best in years! We had almost decided against any Christmas Card - let along a personalized one - but then we came across your on-line site and took the opportunity! You delivered a beautiful card (almost prettier than the sample) and it was delivered to our mail box - quickly, safely and in perfect condition. Our friends and family responded with much warmth and happiness ! Again, Thank You!"

Aurora Christian's Natasha Brown looks to pass to a team mate while being shielded by three St. Bede Academy players at Somonauk High School in Somonauk during the class 2A Sectional game on Monday, February 11, 2013. | Erik Anderson~For Sun-Times Media
Aurora Christian's girls basketball team had played girls with some size this season, but in the program's first-ever sectional appearance Monday, the Eagles encountered a player the likes of which they had not seen before.
Peru St. Bede senior Morgan Dean, at 6-foot-3 with tremendous strength, proved to be too much for the Eagles to handle in the Class 2A Somonauk Sectional semifinal. Aurora Christian's record-setting season came to an end with a 47-41 loss. Dean scored 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for St. Bede.
"That girl was a load," Aurora Christian coach Jerry Tokars said. "That's the best I've seen her play, and I've watched three or four games on film. She didn't play like that on film, so I give her a lot of credit. She's a senior and she came to play tonight."
Dean only had eight points at the half as St. Bede (18-15) took a 28-19 lead at the half. But as has been the case all season, Aurora Christian (19-9) proved that they were a second-half team, crawling back into the game as has been its signature all year.
Christian outscored St. Bede 14-6 in the third quarter to tie the game at 33-33. The Eagles' only senior, Alex Hultine, scored five points in the quarter. Dean scored all six of St. Bede's points.
"We've been there a lot this season," Hultine said. "We know when we tie it up; it's like a whole new game, 0-0. We really come out with that much more energy because it really starts to destroy their confidence. It really helps boost us and get us going."
Back-to-back three-pointers from freshman Kirsten Madsen and Hultine gave the Eagles a 40-39 lead with 4:26 left in the fourth quarter.
"I thought it was going to happen," Tokars said.
Unfortunately for the Eagles, they managed to score only one more point the rest of the game. Meanwhile, Dean continued her dominance. She scored the first 10 points of the quarter for the Bruins, giving them the lead for good and also adding a key rebound put-back in the final minute that sealed the deal.
"She's a ton inside," St. Bede coach Tom McGunnigal said. "She's our heart and soul offensively. She's a good centerpiece for our offense."
Hultine led the Eagles with 12 points in her final game at Christian. Natasha Brown hauled down 13 rebounds battling with Dean all night down low.
The loss ends a historic season for Aurora Christian. The Eagles set a program record for wins, won a share of the Suburban Christian Gold and won their first-ever regional title.
"All season, I said from the beginning that we were really going to make history this year, and we did," Hultine said. "We set a lot of records. It was really enjoyable for me and I felt that I left the girls with a really good run to continue."

The staff was very friendly, helpful, and easygoing. The room was better than I expected. I would recommend this hotel because of the courtesy, comfort, and great value. I really appreciated the free airport shuttle.
Okay 5.0
Not too far from the airport. Only few years of age. The common space at ground level with two different tv programms.
Cleanliness of the room and the bathroom was way too far from the standards. In fact it is not an hotel but a pension. The room was very little, the space around the bed was only 2 feets large the temperature of the heating is difficult to guess.The only representative from the staff was very helpfull. It was an only man show to see this motived guy: He drive the car to and from the airport, carry our luggage, served the refreshements, maked the dinner, Wake-up us in the morning, and serve us a farewell coffee before living the Amethyst House.

After a long flight from San Francisco the stay aat the Angelo Airporthotel Bucharest was very welcomed. If we did not have a problem at the airport getting picked up by the Hotel our stay for the one night would have been better. No one at the Airport could tell us how to reach the Hotel for a pickup or where to find the shuttle bus leaving us standing there for over an hour. The room was comfortable and modern though it did smell of smoke. Our dinner was fine. All in all, it is a good place to stay when taking off for Transylvania without having to travel with traffic into and our of Bucharest.

Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.
Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.
Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.
Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.
Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.
Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.
This picture of mask diving at the Taipus reefs makes me shed hot and salty tears all over my calendar, which is set on "January" right now.

On October 21, 2005, Omaha, NE, celebrated the Grand Opening Festival of the new Holland Performing Arts Center, a state-of-the-art performing arts complex. The Holland Center is also one of the first venues in the US to own ETC's new Congo lighting control console.
The impressive 175,000-sq.ft facility houses a 2,000-seat concert hall, a 450-seat chamber music hall, and a semi-enclosed 1,000-seat outdoor performance and event garden. Its multi-level, multi-function lobby will be used for exhibitions and includes retail space and food services. Named in honor of Mary and Richard Holland, the $92 million structure is the first building to be erected in a new cultural complex in Omaha.
The Holland Center and its companion venue the Orpheum Theater are home to Omaha Performing Arts and are the sites of Omaha Performing Arts Presents, a multi-disciplinary series that features over 40 performances by national and international touring artists. The series brings to Omaha outstanding performances in classical and jazz music, dance, family entertainment, and Broadway, as well as noted speakers and popular entertainers. The Orpheum Theater continues to be the venue for Opera Omaha productions.
Since the Holland Center's Peter Kiewit Concert Hall has an extensive lighting rig–including more than 60 ETC Source Four® conventional fixtures of varying degrees and more than 50 VARI*LITE moving lights–production manager Buck Weyerman and master electrician Scott Wasson started looking for a versatile lighting console that could handle intricate lighting plots using both automated and conventional fixtures.
"I had my choice of any lighting console for the Holland," says Weyerman, who had read about the Congo console before the board became available to American markets. He was impressed by the ETC and Avab pedigree and the way the board had controlled the multimedia-filled 2005 Eurovision Song Contest. ETC's 24-hour customer and technical service was another draw: "I'm confident having dealt with ETC in the past that they would provide support if we needed it." Ultimately, he chose Congo.
According to Wasson, who has toured as electrician with Dave Matthews, the Congo "is a very powerful design tool." Holland's new Congo seamlessly controlled the lighting schemes for an array of performances including theatre, dance and ballet, as well as classical, jazz, chamber and international music during the 10-day Grand Opening Festival. Weyerman and Wasson were so satisfied with the board that they decided to purchase another Congo for the recital hall opening at the end of the year.
The Holland Center is also one of the first venues to use ETC Congo Client™ wireless control. A rack-mounted computer in the booth and another on the stage run the lights. The theatre also has a laptop with wireless NIC used for remote Congo video over the wireless connection. Soon the theatre will incorporate a Congo Radio Remote Focus Unit (cRRFU) into their system. With a 3,072-channel output and 1,024 patchable outputs, Congo also interfaces with the theatre's custom ETC house-light controls.
The concert hall was designed by the architectural and engineering firms HDR and Polshek Partnership. Kirkegaard Associates joined the design team as acoustic consultants. Theater consultants Fisher Dachs Associates who helped plan the Holland Center.
Inspired by the Musikverein in Vienna, Austria, the concert hall features a glass clerestory that allows natural light to help illuminate the stage. The Holland Performing Arts Center and the Musikverein are the only two theatres in the world with this design. The concert hall is designed to create an intimate setting between audience and performers; its shoebox configuration, like fin-de-siècle Viennese concert halls, includes audience seating behind the musicians, often on stage.
Throughout the Holland Center architectural lighting control is done by an ETC Unison® system, controlling over 3,600 lighting fixtures. ETC dealer Heartland Scenic Studio specified the Holland Center job and worked for two years on the project.

(LinkAsia: March 15, 2013)
Thuy Vu:
Moving on now to Japan, the country's in an energy crunch. Ninety-nine percent of Japan's crude oil and natural gas are imported. Virtually all its nuclear reactors were closed after the Fukushima disaster two years ago. So the country's scrambling to find new energy sources to keep the lights on. They may have found a new source deep in the ocean. Here's Japan's public broadcaster NHK.
NHK World NEWSLINE
Airdate: March 11, 2013
Kaho Izumitani, Reporter:
Researchers in Japan have been hunting for methane hydrates since the 1990s. They estimate the deposits discovered in the Pacific could cover the country's gas needs for 14 years.
And that's not all. They've found evidence of methane hydrates elsewhere in Japanese waters. Some experts say the total amount could provide natural gas for the next century.
Ryo Matsumoto:
The fact that natural gas can be extract within the Japanese exclusive economic zone is a huge advantage for Japanese industry.
Kaho Izumitani:
The push to find new sources of energy got stronger in 2011 after the nuclear accident in Fukushima. Only 2 of 50 commercial nuclear reactors are generating power right now because of tougher restrictions.
Utility companies are importing more natural gas to fire thermal power plants. That's caused Japan's trade deficit to balloon to a record high. It grew to more than 70 billion dollars last year.
Along with methane hydrate, businesses are looking for other energy sources. Workers at a drilling company succeeded last October in extracting shell oil from rock layers deep underground in northern Japan.
Researchers also have their eye on the water's off Sado island in the Sea of Japan. Oil and natural gas reserves could be sitting nearly 3,000 meters below the seabed. Government officials plan to start test-drilling there in April.
But for now, it's the revelations about methane hydrate that are fueling excitement in Japan. Experts caution that scientists soon need to create technology to stably extract the gas and reduce costs.
Ryo Matsumoto:
I hope Japan can start production in about 10 years. Many countries are watching how Japan extracts gas from this new resource and whether the method works. If Japan cooperates with other countries as a leader, it can contribute to the world.
Kaho Izumitani:
Japan is considered a resource-poor nation, but it's rich in technological know-how. The government and industry hope they can tap that resource and secure safe and stable source of energy that will last for generations. Kaho Izumitani, NHK World, Tokyo.
Thuy Vu:
All this week, Japanese have been marking the second anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that killed more than 20-thousand people and displaced hundreds of thousands on Japan's northeast coast. The anniversary reverberated in New York as well. Masaaki Suzuki conducted his Baroque Orchestra in memorial concert for victims of the tsunami and last winter's big storm in the American northeast. Here's NHK.
NHK World NEWSLINE
Airdate: March 11, 2013
300 people gathered at a church in Manhattan on March 11. It's the second anniversary of the earthquake in Japan. The orchestra performed Bach in memory of the victims. It also prayed for the reconstruction of the affected areas.
"I thought it was very beautiful, and I think it's a very nice gesture that these two different countries are getting together to support the people that had to go through both of these traumatic experiences."
Maestro Suzuki says he is happy because he could finally show his appreciations to Americans for their support.

Many people dislike the game because the cars are way too realistically simulated. In all the previous nfs titles after Porsche Unleashed (my favourite), you blast into a corner without braking, pressing the side keys madly and the car simply turns with a drift. that is simply stupid. real cars dont do that. I had quite missed the realistic handling of cars in Porsche Unleashed until Shift came along.
Only trouble is that the developers have made the cars a bit too difficult to handle. it takes some time to get used to the extremely fidgety handling. but then, you can take that as a challe... (Expand)

Don't get fooled by the bunch of good for nothing so called 'gamers' who play their silly NFS MW or NFS HP say.. They, with their absolutely no sense of real life racing are simply blown NFS Shift's game engine. They can't keep the car on the tarmac and simply complain that the game is shitty and all.. They cannot come first or reduce the lap times and their legacy of winning like in NFS MW is shattered! They forget the simple thing called "Brakes" which is used to slow down the car to corner!

DURHAM — Former college legends from triangle schools played basketball for charity in the Big Three Legends game at American Tobacco Campus.
Among those representing the three schools were Christian Laettner, Gene Banks and William Avery for Duke; Vinny Del Negro, Julius Hodge, Rodney Monroe and Chris Corchiani for N.C. State; George Lynch, Melvin Scott and Donald Williams for North Carolina.
We asked some of the players a few questions based on whats happening in college basketball today. Each had different answers, but most seemed to favor how the game was played when they were in college.
Q: Most of Coach (Krzyzewskis) championship teams have been led by juniors and seniors, for instance you, and now the trend is one and done. Do you think Coach K will be able to win with one and done teams?
A: Its harder to have that super super high level of success when kids are only staying in your program one or two years. I wouldnt have won any championships if people would have left after one or two years. So its really important to get the kids to stay if you want that super high level of success, and it seems like in todays day in age, its just harder and harder because the great, great players go. So I think coaches have to adjust a little bit and just go for results instead of teaching kids how to play the right way. The atmsosphere is changing a little bit, but coach Calipari is having success with it, Coach K is still having plenty of success with it. But I just think it makes it all a little more challenging. I hate to see it, and I wish they would make a two-year rule.
Q: So you are in favor of the two-year rule NBA commissioner Adam Silver has said he is considering. Why?
A: Im in favor of the two-year rule because if you think about the players who came straight out of high school or even went to the NBA after one-year, theres only a hand full of them that were really, really good in the NBA right away. LeBron James, Dwight Howard. But even Kevin Garnett, he needed a few months. Kobe Bryant needed a few months. So I think it hurts the college game to have the great players leave too early, and I think it hurts the pro game to have these young kids come in, sit on the bench and develop for a year before they start producing at a high level.
Q: How do you make it attractive to a young kid to stay in college longer? Is the last resort to pay them?
A: Its impossible when all that money is on the table. And the only way theyre going to stay is if they dont necessarily need the money. I didnt necessarily need the money after my junior year and thats why I didnt leave. But at the same time, I loved what I was doing and I wanted to play for Coach K, one more year. It seems like now theyd rather go get the money than play for a good coach one more year.
Q: With the one and done becoming a trend for some players, does it hurt the NCAA?
A: Its tough when you see a kid needing to stay more years make the wrong decision and come out early and dont get drafted, cant go back to school or choose not to go back to school to further their education. Thats the most disappointing part of it. But basketball is a big sport in America. I dont think it hurts the NCAA too much, but you just wish kids had the right advice. They have people telling them to come out and to play in the NBA but are getting advice from other people who have never played the game. The four years of college prepared me to be a pro, and not just for one year, but it prepared me to be a pro for 12 years.
Q: Are you more in favor of the two-year rule?
A: Im not in favor of it. If the kid is ready to come out, I think its great. If the kid comes out to support his family, I think its that kids choice.
Q: Do you think students would stay in school longer if they received a stipend?
A: No, because the kids are talking about coming out before they leave their familys homes and before they even step on the college campus. As far as a stipend, I think the NCAA should do that. The TV contracts are getting bigger. With the student-athletes that go to the bigger universities, they dont have time to work a job. Youre asking a lot from a student-athlete that travels and has to do all the catch up work in his classes. So if they can give the kids something I think it would be great. What that number is, you never know.
Q: What do you think about the two-year rule NBA commissioner Adam Silver is considering?
A: Id love to see kids stay in school for the education, for the experience. I think its better for the college game, better for the pro game, but more so just better for the student-athletes.
Q: Connecticuts Shabazz Napier said earlier this month that he sometimes starves at night because he doesnt have enough money to buy food. Do you think players should be compensated?
A: Id be surprised if players at major universities are starving, with all the facilities and things that are available to players, but I understand his point. And Im sure the NCAA is looking into different things because times have changed and things have changed. But at the end of the day you have to abide by the rules, and everyone plays on the same playing field.
Q: The ACC has probably doubled in size since you have been there. How do you feel about that?
A: Im an old school guy. Theres reasons that its gotten bigger with football, the facilities, TV, and all the different things going on. But I really loved my time at State when the rivalries were very intense, not that theyre not now, but its different because there are so many teams and there isnt as much history as it was when I played.

Saturday, we examined the team home run leaders in the National League and, because one simply doesn't do things for one league and not the other, today we'll look at the American.
Angels - Tim Salmon, 299
Spoiler alert: Mike Trout takes this record away in 2022. Salmon is the only team leader to never appear in an All-Star Game. He did make $60 million in his career, though, so that's some small compensation.
Athletics - Mark McGwire, 363
McGwire passed Jimmie Foxx on the team home run index in 1996, so that clears up any question as to who hit the most Athletic home runs in Oakland and Philadelphia. The big mystery then, is who led them on the Kansas City leg of their baseball journey? Not to kill the suspense, but It was Norm Siebern with 78. Rounding out the top five were Bob Cerv (75), Gus Zernial (73), Hector Lopez (67) and Ed "The Glider" Charles (65). Before injuries sidetracked his career, Eric Chavez had an outstanding shot at putting his name above McGwire's.
Blue Jays - Carlos Delgado, 336
Obviously, it's not a requirement to be a league home run champion in order to be an all-time team leader. Nearly half (14) of the top men - including Delgado - never led their league in round-trippers. (Indians leader Jim Thome did, but it was after he left Cleveland.) Jose Bautista, despite his late start, still has a decent established chance to become the big Jay in this category.
Indians - Jim Thome, 337
This is the lowest total of any of the pre-expansion franchises. The top three Indians homer guys - Thome, Albert Belle and Manny Ramirez - all date from the power detonation of the '90s/'00s. Prior to that, the team record was held by Earl Averill with just 226.
Mariners - Ken Griffey, Jr., 417
Griffey has the top five single-season home run totals in Mariners history. The non-Griffey leader is Jay Buhner with 44 in 1996. Overall, Edgar Martinez is second all-time with 309 despite not having one of the 10-best single-season marks. Alvin Davis was the kingpin before Griffey started to stack 'em up.
Orioles - Cal Ripken, 431
Two St. Louis Browns still cling to the team's top 10: Ken Williams is seventh with 185 and Harlond Clift tenth with 170. There was a brief-but-exciting struggle for the lead back in 1969 when Boog Powell and Brooks Robinson raced to be the one to pass Williams. Robinson started the season eight ahead of Powell, 173 to 165. On June 20, Robinson hit his 185th career homer while Powell was at 182. Two weeks later, on July 5, Robinson broke his tie with Williams, but by then, Powell was at 184. Boog hit number 185 on July 6 and tied Robinson in the first game of a double header with number 186 on July 8. He broke the tie with Brooksie the next day and, although Robinson managed to stay close for a while, Powell began to pull away in late July. So, in the end, Robinson held the record by himself for three days while Powell had it for 18 years before being displaced by Eddie Murray who, in turn, gave way to Ripken in 1996.
Rangers - Juan Gonzalez, 372
Gonzalez is one of three top team home run hitters who came back to their clubs to pad their leads. He tacked on 32 homers in a return visit in 2002-2003. Jim Thome added three to his Indians total in his 2011 return to Cleveland and Ken Griffey, Jr. tacked 19 onto his Mariners total in 2009. At 237, Frank Howard holds the Washington Senators portion of the team record and stands at third overall.
Rays - Carlos Pena, 159
Pena is the only American League leaders who is still with the team he leads, although the smart money would be on Evan Longoria eventually bridging the 40-plus gap between them to grab the number-one slot. This is the lowest leader total, which makes sense in that they're one of the two newest teams. The upside of that is that a rookie can go to the Rays and not feel like he's looking up at a 200-story building when he eyes the team home run record.
Red Sox - Ted Williams, 521
When Williams got back from World War II, he trailed franchise leader Jimmie Foxx 222-127 (As we have seen, Foxx was also the Athletics' top man). It didn't take him long to grab the lead, doing so with his first homer of the 1949 season, a three-run shot off of fellow San Diegan Jim Wilson of the Philadelphia A's on April 28. Stan Musial wrested the Cardinals record from Rogers Hornsby two years later, so Williams trails only Babe Ruth of the Yankees as the longest-reigning team homer champion. Only two teams have every player in their home run top tens with at least 200 homers: the Red Sox and Yankees.
Royals - George Brett, 317
Until Brett's seventh full season in the majors, his triple and home run totals were neck and neck, with the three-baggers usually having the advantage. He hit a career-high 20 triples in 1979 then never got into double figures again, giving the homers the upper hand, 317-137. While he never became a big bomber, he was a solid home run threat throughout most of his career. Billy Butler is the active team leader with 97, which means that Brett's top spot is in no immediate danger, but Bo Jackson (109 HR) will soon be kissing his 10th-place position on the team leaderboard goodbye.
Tigers - Al Kaline, 399
Kaline came by his lead the hard way, never posting a 30-homer season in his 22-year career. Among team leaders, only Robin Yount of the Brewers can say the same. If not for World War II and a season-ending on-field collision in 1936, Hank Greenberg would own this record.
Twins - Harmon Killebrew, 559
Killebrew dominates his franchise homering like nobody else. He has nine of the top 11 single-season team round-tripper totals. He also has the largest lead over his team's runner-up: 266 more than Kent Hrbek. Killebrew is also one of the eight players who has both their team's single-season and all-time team home records. The others are Pena, Luis Gonzalez (Diamondbacks), Thome, Helton (Rockies), Griffey, Jr., Bagwell (Astros) and Sosa (Cubs). Roy Sievers holds the Washington Senators portion of the team record, having clocked 180 round trippers from 1954 to 1959.
White Sox - Frank Thomas, 448
When the dust settled on the Sox' inaugural season, they were the first American League champions and Sam Mertes was their all-time home run leader with five. The next year, Frank Isbell hit his seventh White Sox homer and grabbed the lead. The rest of the team's progression looks like this:
Record Breaker Year Broken # Broken
Ping Bodie
Harry Hooper
Bibb Falk
Zeke Bonura
Bill Melton
Carlton Fisk
Frank Thomas
That's right, the Pale Hose got through the hit-happy Live Ball Era with a home run leader in double digits. Minoso was first to the century mark in 1957 and Fisk the first to hit 200 in 1991, ninety years after the team started. So here's to The Big Hurt for really laying a respectable number on the franchise. Paul Konerko will pass Thomas in a couple of seasons and has a decent chance to be the first White Sox player to make it into the 500 Club.
Yankees - Babe Ruth, 659
Ruth is the only team leader whose career ended before World War II. Aside from him, Ted Williams and Stan Musial are the only other team leaders that even played before the war. 15 players appear in the top-10 career home run leaders of more than one team, but only two are on three lists. One is Fred McGriff, who ranks for the Blue Jays, Padres and Rays. The other is Alex Rodriguez, who is currently fourth for the Mariners, seventh for the Rangers and sixth for the Yankees. Slowing down though he may be, he should still have enough gas left to rise to fourth on the New York list as he trails Yogi Berra by 59 and Joe DiMaggio by 63. Bill James' Favorite Toy gives him about a fifty-fifty chance to do that. His chances of catching Barry Bonds for the overall lead have fallen into single digits, down from about a 50-percent likelihood when Bonds stopped playing in 2007.

From the American Catholic blog. Look at the clear thinking going on, the direct challenge to secularists and others working to establish the culture of death. Then compare this to our preoccupation with global warming and other dubious fads, the confusion (as the essay below states) between morality and moral status in our didactic discourse, our inability to self-organize (at least on the hierarchical level) thus binding the nascent creativity of many of our priests and laity (the fact we accomplish as much as we do despite the handicaps proves the point), and so forth. American Orthodoxy is at a crossroads and it no longer acceptable to waste another decade arguing about unity and mission like we have the last four. This has to stop. One other point. I find in the essay the philosophical rationale for a point I've been making for years about the claim that the unborn fetus (latin: little one) is merely "potential human life." While the culture of death advocates use the claim to … [Read more...]

Zionsville —
In a season where many things have gone against them, the Zionsville Eagles baseball team finally caught a few breaks when they hosted Avon in the penultimate game of the 2013 season Thursday, May 16.
Sophomore Grant Sloan threw a four-hit gem, and the offense was able to take advantage of two wild pitches for two runs as Zionsville earned a 2-0 Hoosier Crossroads Conference victory.
"It seems like it was the first time this year that we have had anything go our way," Zionsville coach John Zangrilli said. "You can call it sour grapes or crying over spilled milk. I don't know. We've had very few breaks go our way, but tonight they did. I guess that's baseball."
Offense was at a premium all night, but the Eagles didn't need much with the way Sloan was throwing. He struck out only three batters, but induced multiple ground outs and scattered just four hits in going the distance for the win.
In only two innings did the Orioles get more than one runner on base.

New Bedford officials confirm that on Monday afternoon Carney memorial academy was placed on lockdown due to shots being fired on Middle Street, just blocks away from the school. While police secured the neighboring streets two people of interest were arrested and taken into custody for questioning. No injuries were reported, Carney was on lockdown for a total of 45-minutes.
New Bedford officials also say another shooting took place on Chancery Street prior to the Middle street shooting and they believe it could be related but again that information is also under investigation.

One Knight Only Sword is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dreday from Must for all boys! My 3 year old loves dressing up and plays with every toy weapon that he can get his hands on. He's constantly battling monsters, dinosaurs, and lions. He gets so hyper that sometimes the humans in the house have to block an incoming pass from the waepons, so when we saw that this sword was soft and not threating at all we knew it was a must for the house! So much fun having boys with vivid imaginations!

NEW YORK, N.Y. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- Fictional character Harry Potter got a taste of the Big Apple recently in a hilarious YouTube video by a group known as 'Improv Everywhere.'
The group brought in an 11-year-old actor for the latest segment in their "Movies in Real Life" series. Each week, the group releases a new video bringing an iconic movie to life in the real world.
In this week's video, the young actor must navigate through New York's Pennsylvania Station to find Platform 9 3/4, known in the books as the platform where Harry and his friends must catch the train to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Complete with a British accent, cart of luggage, and a white owl, anyone who has seen the Harry Potter films or read the books would immediately know who the actor was trying to portray. With a straight face, the child asked laughing commuters where he could find platform 9 3/4. At one point, he even approaches the luggage counter to ask a worker if he needs to check his owl.

Scattered Clouds
5 of 51
Taken from the high period of Dr. John's recording career, a period in which he recorded "Dr. John's Gumbo," "In the Right Place" and "Destively Bonnaroo" in a three-year span, this recording is likely Dr. John's best commercial success from this period.
Backed by the Meters and produced by Allen Toussaint, this recording, which topped out at #24 on the Billboard charts, has two of his biggest hits, "Right Place Wrong Time" and "Such a Night" – essential songs from the good doctor.
Another terribly tough pick, since Dr. John has such a huge body of work with some many strong recordings, but the music on the album has an amazing number of Dr. John classics and almost appears as a collection of greatest hits of his work.
By this record, Dr. John has moved away from the psychedelic shaman/voodoo act that was ground-breaking with albums like "Gris Gris" and has moved more into the funky, rhythm and blues realm he is more often identified with. The Meters as a backing band add a sharp, tight sound with Dr. John riffing loosely out in front, giving the recording that bluesy, soul-inspired sound that only a New Orleans record can have.

Thoughts and resources from the Center for Faculty Excellence
Tuesday, November 9, 2010
The commitment of Ithaca College to faculty development was really visible at last week's annual POD conference……six of us were there! As a long-term active POD member, I was thrilled to introduce Jan Monroe, Dennis Charsky, Ali Erkan, and Michael Smith (and share with former POD member Carol Henderson) to this conference. They will say more: for me, the transition to my retirement role was lovely. I continued my scholarly engagement with 2 sessions, connected with numerous colleagues and collaborators, progressed in my future role as a consultant, and generally enjoyed the interactive environment. POD stands for the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education, and that is evident in the combined perspective of supporting individual faculty and demonstrating good teaching, as well as acting at an institutional level. Plus lots of networking. More soon from my wonderful colleagues; I am so proud of everyone!

The first time I heard the phrase "homemade deodorant" I'm pretty sure I laughed. And rolled my eyes. And had all sorts of "she's crazy!!!" thoughts going through my head. I mean, seriously? How weird can you get? Deodorant is one of life's essential products that should only come from the most trusted chemist.
Funny how things change.
A troubled start…
The first time I made my own homemade deodorant I'm pretty sure I laughed then, too. But it was more of a "wow, I'm the crazy one now and it's AWESOME" laugh.
But truthfully, my first experience with homemade deodorant was painful. Like, really painful. I have super sensitive skin and the stuff just burned. For hours.
I was told that some people have this problem and to give it time for my skin to adjust. So like a ninny (ha! who says "ninny"? Apparently I do.) I kept torturing my sad little arm pits with the homemade deodorant from… you know where. After a solid month I finally gave up and went back to my less-effective and more-expensive "all natural" store-bought deodorant.
Total failure.
That's why I'm so excited to share this recipe with you… in case you also have sensitive skin and need a little TLC from your homemade deodorant. It's still very similar to most of the online recipes you'll find, and it's still very effective, but hopefully it won't make your pits burn. We want happy and non-smelly armpits, right? Right!
Why homemade deodorant?
Like so many other cosmetics, several of the ingredients used in most deodorants and antiperspirants are not so good for you. Like these:
- Aluminum – This is the primary ingredient in most stuff you'll buy at the store. It's a metal which has been linked to breast cancer in women and increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. No thanks.
- Parabens – This synthetic preservative is found in so many personal care products. The largest concern is that these chemicals will disrupt our delicate hormonal balance. Paraben exposure has also been linked to birth defects and organ toxicity.
- Propylene glycol – This is a petroleum based material. In large quantities, studies have shown that this stuff can cause damage to the central nervous system, liver, and heart.
- Phthalates – Another class of chemicals that have been linked to a variety of health issues including birth defects.
- Triclsoan – This chemical is actually classified as a pesticide by the FDA and a probable carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Do you really want to put this stuff on your body? I didn't think so.
Homemade deodorant AND happy armpits!
This recipe is simple and all the ingredients are recognizable and safe. This is also a pretty frugal way to go about your arm-pit needs.
Keep in mind that this is NOT an antiperspirant. But that's a good thing. You need to sweat. It's one of the ways your body naturally detoxes. Besides, antiperspirant just clogs your pores to keep the sweat from coming out… but your body will keep trying to detox. That's why antiperspirant leaves those "pit stain" on your favorite shirt. It's like your armpit threw up the chemical junk. Gross.
In fact, I found that I sweat a lot less after I stopped wearing antiperspirant (which was long before I was a hippie and started making homemade deodorant). And I have no stains on my shirts. Awesome.
So are you ready? What do you have to lose? Most people who make the switch to homemade deodorant love it and will never go back. You could be one of them, too!
Homemade Deodorant for Sensitive Skin
You'll need:
1/3 cup coconut oil (like this)
2 Tbs baking soda (You can even use less if you have super sensitive skin…)
1/3 cup arrow root powder (you can get this at most health foods stores or here).
10 – 15 essential oils (optional) (Learn how to get my favorite essential oils at wholesale prices here.)
a small mixing bowl and spoon
a small container for your finished product (I love these tiny mason jars)
1. Mix the coconut oil, baking soda, and arrow root powder in the small mixing bowl. Use the back of the spoon to help "cream" the ingredients until you have a consistency similar to deodorant.
2. Mix in essential oils. This is an optional step, but I think it makes it more fun. You can choose whatever oils you want. Some love lavendar or patchouli. My favorite is 10 drops of sweet orange and 5 drops of cinnamon.
3. Put mixture in small container (I use my cute little spatula for this step). To use simply swipe two fingers gently into the mixture and rub on your underarms. Wait two minutes before dressing to avoid any smearing on your clothes.
Note: Coconut oil melts when temperatures get warmer. Some people like to keep their deodorant in the fridge during warm months. I don't bother since I can still use it… even if it gets a bit melty during those hotter months.
Not into making your own deodorant? This is my favorite natural commercial deodorant.
Do you use homemade deodorant? Are you will to give it a try? What do you think?

We live in New Jersey and chose this cruise mostly because it left from New York and we did not have the expense of air fare. Leaving from Brooklyn was a breeze. We arrived at the terminal at 11 and we were on the ship having lunch by 12:30.
The Ship was beautiful and very clean. We had an inside cabin, and while it is not the best, we found it fine for our family of four, my husband and myself and our daughters, 15 and 18. We were on Deck 5, which is where the atrium is located and the International Cafe. This was so convenient, and we spent a lot of time relaxing with a coffee in the Piazza. We literally never heard any noise ever the whole week.
The Cruise Director's staff was very friendly and funny. We love trivia and nightly game shows, the staff on the ship were so engaging, they made all of these things extra fun. They also had a great comedian at the beginning of the cruise. However, the comedian the second half of the cruise was one of the worst I have ever seen, it was embarrassing for him. Also, the large theater productions were lacking, this is one place that Disney is way ahead, and the comedy team Alfred and Seymour, who we had enjoyed on our Disney cruises, were on the Ship on the first night, but had to leave the Ship for some unknown reason, this was a disappointment to us.
The food in the dining room was mostly very good to excellent, with a few items I did not care for. Our server was fantastic and really did a great job to make the meals perfect for us. We had one lunch in the dining room which was excellent, with a wide selection. The buffet was very good for breakfast and good for lunch. It was often hard to find a table in the buffet area at breakfast, and we pretty much gave up on finding a table where our group of 9 people could sit together. It is nice the way they set the tables and bring your drinks to your table in the buffet. The pizza by the pool was surprisingly good. The International Cafe on Deck 5 was excellent for both breakfast and snacks the rest of the day. This is a really great feature on the Ship.
We enjoyed all the ports. We had to tender in Bar Harbor and Newport. In Bar Harbor we left the ship at 8:30 and had no wait to tender. In Newport we left closer to 11 and had about a 20 minute wait. Overall not bad, but in the future I would try to leave the Ship earlier to avoid any wait.
My family had a fantastic time on this trip!

Preparation for Teaching
Teaching undergraduates is an activity expected of most doctoral students and a requirement in several departments. While some individuals may be born teachers, most have to learn and practice the craft of teaching effectively. Accordingly, the Graduate School requires first-time assistants in instruction (AIs) to attend a day-and-a-half teacher training/orientation workshop given by the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning. The workshop is offered twice a year, in early September (for fall term AIs) and late January/early February (for spring term AIs).
The McGraw Center's AI workshops are meant to supplement AI training programs that have already been established by departments and provide a base-line introduction to teaching issues and skills for all first-time graduate student AIs. Those who do not complete the training will not be allowed to hold their AI appointment for that term.
Ordinarily, first-year students in Ph.D. programs are not appointed as AIs. Exceptions should be discussed with the associate dean for academic affairs at the Graduate School.
