Ravens owner Art Modell remembered fondly at funeral
BALTIMORE - Thousands of family and friends turned out Tuesday for the funeral of former Browns and Ravens owner Art Modell, including current and former players, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
An important figure in the development of the league, Modell also was one of the NFL's most polarizing owners. Cleveland fans never forgave him from moving his club to Baltimore for financial reasons after the 1995 season, but Ravens fans were fond of him and Modell also was remembered as a loving family man on Tuesday.
Ray Lewis, Ray Rice, Joe Flacco, Haloti Ngata and Torrey Smith were among current Ravens players who attended the service at Baltimore Hebrew Congregation. Former Ravens players Michael McCrary, Peter Boulware and Rob Burnett also went to pay their respects.
"He contributed so much to the NFL," Goodell said. "He was obviously a close adviser to (former NFL commissioner) Pete Rozelle. He was a big part of NFL history. He played a big role in the NFL and the NFL is going to miss him."
Lewis, Baltimore's second pick in the 1996 draft after Modell moved the franchise, gave a eulogy filled with emotion.
"Rest in peace `Pop Art,"' he said.
Goodell and Modell's sons, John Modell and David Modell, also spoke during the service. John Modell followed his speech by performing a song he wrote on the guitar for his father in 1998, when the Ravens built their facility, which is now known as M&T Bank Stadium.
"He loved the game," John Modell said. "He loved the men who played the game. He loved football."
Toward the end of the 90-minute service, Modell's pallbearers, which included Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome and Ravens senior vice president of public and community relations Kevin Byrne, carried his casket to a hearse sitting in front of the synagogue.
Modell's funeral came the morning after the Ravens defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 44-13 in Baltimore. The team paid tribute to Modell by wearing commemorative T-shirts during pre-game warmups and in the locker room after the game ended.
"If Mr. Modell (didn't) bring the team to Baltimore, it doesn't happen for us," Ravens safety Ed Reed said following the game. "This city here loves football, too, and Mr. Modell saw that in this city, and he made us all Ravens. We're all grateful just to be here."
Modell purchased the Cleveland Browns in 1961 for $4 million, an unheard of amount at the time. He won an NFL championship with the Browns in 1964 -- over the Baltimore Colts -- and those early Cleveland teams later appeared in the 1965, 1968 and 1969 title games. The Browns also reached the AFC championship in the 1986, 1987 and 1989 seasons but fell short to the Denver Broncos each time.
Modell was a member of the NFL's television committee for 31 years and helped launch Monday Night Football. He served on the NFL-AFL merger committee and helped negotiate the NFL's first collective bargaining agreement as the chairman of the owners' labor committee.
But it was Modell's decision in 1995 that made him a villain in the northeast Ohio. Facing a financial burden, Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore instead of selling the organization and keeping it in Cleveland.
Fans in Cleveland still bear a grudge, though the Browns kept their history and received an expansion team three years later. In 2000, the Ravens won Modell his first Super Bowl title.
Modell was never voted into the NFL Hall of Fame, which has been a debatable issue for many years.
Though Goodell commended Modell's accomplishments as an NFL owner, he said he wouldn't judge whether he should be in or not.
"That's for others to make that decision," Goodell said. "I think his contributions are extraordinary. I don't want to take positions on that."

The hot topic in northeast Ohio - will former Browns and Ravens owner Art Modell be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton?
Four linemen in their first year of eligibility, including single-season sacks record holder Michael Strahan, are among 15 modern-era finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Two former Cleveland politicians say ex-Browns owner Art Modell turned down the city's offer to build a new stadium before he took his team to Baltimore.
Thousands of family and friends turned out Tuesday for the funeral of former Browns and Ravens owner Art Modell.
Hopefully the NFL will take two minutes to read this blog to see how dumb it is to ask the the Cleveland Browns to pay tribute in any way to Art Modell this Sunday.
The Cleveland Browns plan to hold a tribute to former owner Art Modell at Sunday's game, the team said Friday.
News Anchor Leon Bibb was the first television reporter to interview Art Modell about his plans to move the team to Baltimore.
Visitors at Canton's Pro Football Hall of Fame remember former Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell.
One city is mourning the loss of a man who brought the beloved game of football back to its city, while another is celebrating the end of what many consider to be a two decades-long curse on its current team.

Announcement: Team Meat Introduces Their New Game, MEW-GENICSA game news article
by Nick Boisson
Over on their blog, Team Meat (Edmund McMillenn and Tommy Refenes) have announced their brand new intellectual property following the success of Super Meat Boy. The game is called Mew-Genics.
Now, very little was said about the game and nothing is shown in the announcment save for this adorable image of a cat with a conjoined head attached to its own. Here is what McMillenn had to say about the project:
Mew-Genics is by far the strangest project I've ever worked on... and that's saying something. Tommy and I are very happy with how development has been going on it and decided that Mew-Genics will be the next official Team Meat game. We don't want to spoil too much here, but we can say the game will be randomly generated, strange and involve cats.
Two things in that statement grab me as interesting. The first, "randomly generated". What does he mean? What aspect of the game is going to be randomly generated? The environments, the characters, the plots, the look of each freaky cat, ALL OF IT? It's probably merely the first option, but I'm interested to see what happens.
The second is "Mew-Genics is by far the strangest project I've ever worked on". The guy who made Super Meat Boy, The Binding of Isaac and Spewer believes that this is the strangest game he's worked on?! Obviously, this is something I need to check out!
With this game being their next project, that means that Super Meat Boy: The Game -- the iOS and tablet version of Super Meat Boy -- will be pushed back. That said, I know absolutely nothing of this game, but I cannot wait to play it!

Yanks cautious with pitchers batting
Wang's 2008 injury a reminder of risks on basepaths
- Granderson nears rehab assignment
- Yanks have distant ties to Takahashi
- Thames' sprained ankle improving
NEW YORK -- After enduring his first mediocre start of the season, Phil Hughes is eager to get back on the mound on Saturday. Getting into the batter's box for his first career at-bat, however, might be a different story.
"I'll probably be nine feet out of the batter's box," Hughes said before Friday night's Interleague opener against the Mets at Citi Field. "Once I get the first one out of the way, it'll probably be a little better."
Hughes hasn't been to the plate in six years, since he was a high schooler in Santa Ana, Calif. Even then, the right-hander said, he wasn't exactly a great hitter.
"I was a hitting third baseman; I don't know about a hard-hitting third baseman," Hughes said. "I could hit an 85-mph fastball. But if you threw a breaking ball at me, I was done."
Hughes and the Yankees' other pitchers have been taking batting practice over the past week to prepare for Interleague Play. Hughes has spent most of that time working on his bunting. When asked if he could get a sacrifice bunt down, Hughes said, "I can try."
You don't have to think too far back to remember key at-bats by Yankees pitchers. Just last year, Mariano Rivera worked out a bases-loaded walk from Francisco Rodriguez for his first career RBI -- on the night he recorded his 500th save -- and Andy Pettitte drove in a run with a bloop single in Game 3 of the World Series in Philadelphia.
At the same time, Yankees manager Joe Girardi is a little concerned about seeing his pitching staff put in unfamiliar territory at the plate and on the basepaths.
"It's not something you do on an everyday basis," Girardi said. "Even being a National League manager, you felt like it was a catch-22 with a pitcher on. You wanted the pitcher to get on, but you didn't want him having to score from first on a double and feeling like they're worn out for a few pitches in the next inning.
"That could be the difference in the game. Last year we came through great; in '08 we did not."
Girardi was, of course, alluding to Chien-Ming Wang's injury in Houston in 2008, suffered while scoring from second base on a Derek Jeter single. Wang missed the final 3 1/2 months of the season and wasn't able to regain his form in '09.
The Yankees have put their pitchers through baserunning drills more frequently since then, so Hughes' main concern remains standing in the box against his counterpart on the mound, Mets righty Mike Pelfrey.
"It should be interesting -- I'll swing hard and hope I hit something," Hughes said, adding that he hopes the six bats he ordered during Spring Training are enough. "I just hope [Pelfrey] doesn't drill me tomorrow in my first AB."

Granderson nears rehab assignment
NEW YORK -- Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson is ready to join Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for a rehab assignment as he makes his way back to the big league lineup from a left groin strain.
Granderson has been on the 15-day disabled list since May 2 with the injury, which he suffered while running the bases against the White Sox.
Granderson brought his bags with him to Citi Field on Friday, and with a flight booked out of New York's LaGuardia Airport, he is scheduled to join Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in time for Saturday's game at Louisville.
"For the most part, I'm excited to get out there," Granderson said. "Nothing really is bothering me -- as much as we can push it without a game situation, without fans in the stands. But those things feel good -- the baserunning, hitting, throwing, fielding -- all those things feel good."
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that Granderson would probably play in five of six games for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, with some designated-hitter duty mixed in.
"He's doing great," Girardi said. "Hopefully we get him sometime at the end of next week if everything goes right."
Granderson said that he expects to DH in his first game for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and then play the outfield in his second game.
"I'm excited about how everything feels," Granderson said. "From lifting to treatment, before and after, coming to the ballpark, leaving the ballpark -- all those different things feel good."

Yanks have distant ties to Takahashi
NEW YORK -- Several hours before the first pitch was to be thrown in this year's Subway Series, Mets starter Hisanori Takahashi remained very much a mystery within the walls of the Yankees' clubhouse.
In fact, while two players in the starting lineup -- Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez -- actually batted against Takahashi in a 2004 exhibition at the Tokyo Dome, it seemed so long ago that the details had almost completely been wiped clean.
"Is that who we're facing? I know nothing," Jeter said. "I can't even remember who I faced two days ago."
Takahashi, 35, is a left-hander from Tokyo who will be getting his introduction to this version of the Yankees' lineup. Takahashi faced Jeter and A-Rod in that March 28, 2004, game, holding the two stars hitless in four at-bats.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that there were not a whole lot of options for his hitters to get acquainted, short of heading for the video room.
"That's about all guys can do," Girardi said. "Obviously players are more comfortable when they see a pitcher. If you're right-handed, you're going to see fastballs and changeups. You have to know that. You look to get the ball up. Guys have faced a lot of guys they've never seen before."
Outfielder Brett Gardner said that he'd dabble on the video machine, but he knew exactly what he'd be looking for in his first at-bat.
"Fastball down the middle," Gardner said. "It's the same thing as if you have faced the guy before. For me, I don't really get too involved with that stuff. I don't think it's as important for me as it is for the other guys, who people tend to be more careful with. I look for a pitch to hit no matter who's pitching and try to be ready for it."
Jeter said that his preference would just be to know what is in Takahashi's arsenal, and otherwise keep his approach simple. The Yankees' captain said that the hitch Takahashi keeps in his delivery wouldn't necessarily throw his timing off.
"Some guys may have a hitch that's easy to time," Jeter said. "I haven't seen him. Some guys may have a little pause, but it's the same pause every time. That doesn't really affect you. But him, I don't know anything about."
-- Bryan Hoch
Thames' sprained ankle improving
NEW YORK -- Marcus Thames ran and took fly balls before Friday's contest against the Mets, testing his sprained left ankle, and he could soon be available for the Yankees as a pinch-hitter.
"I took BP [on Thursday], and it's my landing foot, so I couldn't really turn like I wanted to," Thames said. "I'll try it today and see how it goes. It feels a lot better."
Thames was injured on Wednesday, when he stepped on his own bat while running out a single to left field against the Rays. As embarrassing as that freak play might have been, it was nothing compared to the feedback he heard from his mother, Veterine.
"She called me 'clumsy,'" Thames said, chuckling. "That's Mom."
With Thames unavailable on Friday, the Yankees started utility man Kevin Russo in left field, slotting him into the No. 8 spot in the starting lineup. Russo has been playing all three outfield positions at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year.
"I'm excited to play," Russo said. "I'm here to play, and hopefully I can contribute."

Nicholus Hall, of Townley, had been charged with murder in the shooting death of Gary Lee Barry Jr. in October 2009.
Hall never denied shooting Barry, saying the man came to his home, confronted him and pulled a firearm after an altercation, allegedly over a girlfriend. Hall said he then shot Barry twice in self-defense.
The first shot hit Barry in the leg/groin area and the second, the fatal shot, struck Barry in the chest.
Barry was taken to Walker Baptist Medical Center by personal vehicle, where he was pronounced dead.
According to one of Hall's attorneys, Greg Ellis, the jury found him not guilty in accordance with the state's "stand your ground" laws.
Ellis said Hall was originally charged with manslaughter but the charge was then changed to murder.
Hall was represented by Ellis and John Mark Dutton in the trial.

+ During a posting on Wednesday that talked about Marvin Lewis' progressive attitude towards Andre Smith over the past three years, some readers questioned (well at least hinted at) why the team didn't pick up his extension last year. Essentially Smith signed a four-year contract in 2009 as the No. 6 draft pick with a two-year option that could be picked in 2011, extending it to a six-year deal. Cincinnati declined the option, making him a free agent after this season.
It's hard to predict the future and along with serious questions about his work ethic and durability concerns that still had to be answered at the time, when the deadline for the option arrived, it actually made sense for the Bengals to decline the option. It wasn't until after the deadline passed that Smith showed such a dramatic improvement. If Cincinnati had picked up the two-year option and Smith reverted to the 2009-2010 version, what then?
And that offers a second universal question. Was 2011 an aberration or the start of something sustainable? And it's not so much the resumption of a questionable work ethic. It's his propensity to get hurt. Yet we get it. Much of his injuries with the Bengals were at least partially connected with a questionable work ethic.
Those questions, we have to believe, are largely dissolved. He's motivated. Energetic. This team infected him with desire. Yet all of that came after the deadline for the option.
Should the Bengals sign him to a long-term deal? Well, that lingering partial connection second universal question could prevent it. At least for now. Perhaps evidence of sustained production and success rather than the history that's defined much of his career, bolsters that perspective. Until then, it's a question that doesn't have to be answered right now.

Time to breathe again. The Texans' season is over. We can now look forward to a brighter future. BFD told me so.
The Texans take one step closer to the #1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft with another Texans-ish performance. Read what the BRB staff thought in real time during the Texans' loss to the Broncos...
The only thing the Texans did right on Sunday was find their way to the stadium, and that's the one thing we wish they hadn't accomplished.
The BRB crew is running out of insightful things to say, so we just blab for about an hour. Ok, fine. We ran out of stuff to say months ago. Whatever. We still have posts to write.
The Texans played one of their best games of the season against the Patriots yesterday, but it wasn't enough to keep the team out of the loss column for the tenth week in a row.
I originally wasn't on board with the idea that this was the worst season in Texans history. That changed on Sunday, when the Texans lost to the Jaguars.
Unofficially, I have never put more "kittens" in a HotD post than I did today. Check out what the BRB staff had to say during the Texans' loss to the Raiders.
The Texans treated their fans to another entertaining loss yesterday. The BRB crew is starting to run out of ways to describe the recurring carnage, but we give it our best shot in another Hair of...
So, apparently there's still football today. Who knew? Follow the BRB crew as we stumble through a Sunday of non-Texans football and make the "we can't lose!" joke.
The third-string quarterback is starting. The star running back and star linebacker get hurt with Cushing now out for the year. This storybook season brought to you by Stephen King.

SOHH Whatcha Think: LudaDiss: Will Big Sean & Drake Fire Back At Ludacris' New Diss Track? [Click Here & Speak]
Wednesday, Nov 16, 2011 10:05AM
Well d*mn, Ludacris. You just gonna diss Drake at the same time his new album drops? The homie was probably poolside sipping margarita's, chillin' and sh*t and Lil Twist walks up and tells him sh*t has gotten real.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
If you haven't heard, Ludapissed, I mean Ludacris, dropped a gem on 'em yesterday with a new song in which he not only takes aim at Young Money's Drizzy but also G.O.O.D. Music spitter Big Sean.
"I'm the truth in this booth and you n*ggas all h*es," Luda raps. "Counterfeit rappers say I'm stealing they flows, but I can't steal what you never made up b*tch/Y'all some duplicate rap cloning n*ggas/I manufacture you h*es put on your makeup b*tch. ... Let me explain, nothing's been new since Big Daddy Kane/Flows'll get recycled, passed around to different names -- Y'all get a couple hit records, make some noise and have the nerve to start shouting?/Who's gassing 'em?/ ... May not like the way I used it, but you know you ain't invent it, boy/Do your research before you make a claim so bogus that's disrespecting pioneers in the game ... 'My Chick Bad' went platinum, still winning motherf*cker!" ("Bada Boom")
So yeah, n*ggas huffin' and puffin' over the "super-duper flow". The super-duper flow is the anti-similie punchline setup where cats say sh*t like:
"I'm ain't playin' with you boys. Sandusky."
"Give up the keys and the car. Valet."
Earlier this year, Drake spoke on artists misusing the flow and even credited Big Sean as its true creator.
"Well, that flow has been killed by so many rappers. And, I never want to use that flow again in life. [Laughs] I wanted to take if off my album, because I was like, 'I shut 'em down. Onyx.' I hate the fact that that rhyme is still in there. To be honest, that flow, you can trace it back to like...I trace it back to Big Sean (artist on Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music). That's the first guy I heard utilize that flow throughout the duration of a verse. I'll give him that credit. I think Kanye got it from him. Me and Wayne found a dope way to do it. I don't want to sound cocky, but the best way its been used was on "Forever." Those lines just all individually make so much sense. They're all punchlines. Then a bunch of rappers started doing it and using the most terrible references in the world. I don't want to offend somebody...I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. [They go like] "It's a parade! MACY'S!" (All Hip Hop)
When contacted for a comment, Detroit rapper Big Sean had this to say:
Drake is no battle rapper, but it will be interesting to see if he musters up the heart to rile up the the OVO click and get it truly "mobbin' like that". SOHH Watcha Think -- Will Sean and/or Drizzy fire back with a response on wax?

More than 150 people gathered at the on Tuesday to celebrate the lives of four men who died while sailing in the annual Lexus Newport Beach to Ensenada Yacht Race at the end of April.
With warm sunshine and blue skies above, family and friends remembered skipper Theo Mavromatis of Redondo Beach and crewmen Kevin Rudolph of Manhattan Beach, Bill Johnson of Torrance and Joe Stewart of Bradenton, Fla. Three of the men's bodies were found, along with pieces of Mavromatis' 37-foot sailboat, the Aegean, in a debris field near the Coronado Islands in Mexico. Mavromatis' body was found a week later.
- Related:
A fifth crewman, Mike Patton, opted out of the race at the last minute because his mother wasn't well. He and Mavromatis' daughter Anna spoke at Tuesday's service.
With tears on the brink, Patton stood at the podium a bell was rung for each of the deceased sailors. "Ringing of the bells is a traditional sailing sounding of souls," he said, later adding, "I believe these guys would really respect this and cherish this."
Throughout the memorial, attendees consistently spoke of the adventurous spirit of the four men and their resilience, the attraction of the ocean, and the broader significance of sailing.
"All four men won first place in the Newport to Ensenada sailing race last year, and even after winning, with the Aegean placing almost every time it raced, they still weren't satisfied," Anna Mavromati said in her tribute. "They still wouldn't rest. They were always ready to raise the sails and set out on this adventure again.
"They were brave, and they were tenacious, and I can't think of any better way to live life than they did."
- Complete coverage: Aegean Yacht Crash
Mavromatis, 49, discovered his love of sailing at the age of 10 in Greece, when he joined a sailing club, his sister Rallou Mavromati-Rice, 48, told the crowd. By the age of 12, he'd built a catamaran that he and his sister sailed every summer until she left for college at 18.
"His wife and his kids were his life," Mavromati-Rice said. "He lit up every time he shared every accomplishment of his kids with me very, very often. I know he's at peace wherever he is, and we need to do the same for ourselves and move on. That's what he would have wanted. I actually had a conversation with him about this; I'm glad I did.
"Please live your life the way he did. He enjoyed every minute of it. Do the same."
Attendees remembered Rudolph, 53, as a musician and innovator who was "both infectious and brilliant."
"To me, it was entirely obvious—the light and energy he brought with him wherever he went … I actually shed many tears after hearing of Kevin's accident, even though I only knew him for about a year," said Manhattan Beach resident Kelly Dodds, who said he worked with Rudolph at Raytheon over the past year. "I just felt like the world lost a rare beacon of light—one of those people who really makes the world a better place. Even more rare was his innate instinct to draw out the best in people and create opportunity for them, in an almost effortless and (unperceivable) way, make them human beings."
Dodds continued, "So now, etched in my my mind forever, when I think of the word innovation, and the rare combination of attitude and inspiration and personal aura that fosters that creative spark within people, I'll always think of Kevin and his wry smile standing in my office door at Raytheon."
Johnson, 57, also worked with Mavromatis and Rudolph at Raytheon. According to his LinkedIn profile, Johnson recently left the aerospace corporation to start his own consulting firm. His website says he was certified as a master scuba diver.
"I never met Bill Johnson, but I will always remember him, too," Anna Mavromati said at the service. "I've stared at his photo now countless times, standing in the middle of the Aegean crew's group photo after they won their first-place trophy last year. He's holding a up pirate doll and looks like he's laughing at it a little bit, but he's still holding it up like it's another member of the crew, like he's proud."
Stewart, 64, was Mavromatis' brother-in-law. A retired USDA customs inspector and Vietnam veteran, "he had the same sense of humor" as Mavromatis, Mavromati said after the service. She described the pair as "characters in a buddy comedy."
Others who shared memories of the crew at the service included Jesse McCann of Redondo Beach, Carol Tatsumi of Torrance, Talitha Sherman of Torrance, and Niki Burgan of Carlsbad, who continued to look for Mavromatis after the U.S. Coast Guard called off its search.
Though some of the speakers said they only knew one of the crewmen or became acquainted with the men's relatives after the crash, Mavromatis' other sister, Katerina Mavromati, 42, said the crowd was evidence of the impact the men had on those around them.
"It takes a man like Theo and his crew to bring so many people together today under a tragedy and connect us all in remembering them," she said. "You're all wonderful, and on behalf of my family, we thank you deeply for being here today."
Both the Coast Guard and the U.S. Sailing Association are conducting investigations into the crash.

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown were an English psychedelic rock band formed by singer Arthur Brown in 1967. Their song "Fire" (released in 1968 as a single and on the group's only album) was one of the one-hit wonders in the UK of the 1960s. The line-up practically dissolved on U.S. tour in 1969. Vincent Crane and Carl Palmer left to form Atomic Rooster, Sean Nicholas went on to Khan (as Nicholas Greenwood), Theaker to Love and then Rustic Hinge, and Brown to Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come.

The room was well furnished, and they had ample outlets, which is sometimes a problem in today's world of iPhones, laptops, hair dryers, etc.
Housekeeping came to the room at 9 a.m., asking if we needed 'services.' I said we weren't gone yet, so she turned around and left. We left for the day within a half hour and didn't return until 11 p.m. Our room was still dirty and no clean towels.It would have been a good place to stay except for the housekeeping. Our room was never cleaned. Had to call the front desk at 11 p.m. to ask for more towels. When we told the front desk about the housekeeping problem the next morning, they said they couldn't give us a discount of any kind because we had booked through Priceline.

text: I love this record. To me, there are three essential King Diamond records: Abigail, Them, and Conspiracy. These three records comprise some of the best metal recorded in the late 80s. It's hard to put King Diamond, the band, in a category. This is metal for sure, but may not appeal to die-hard thrash/death/speed metal fans who shy away from melody and harmonies. That's not to say that this goes as far as Helloween or other such melodic-metal bands, but it's more towards that ballpark.King Diamond, and these three records, work so well because of a perfect combination of great songwriting; inspired and extremely skillful playing; tight, well-rehearsed arrangements; and the chemistry and personality of the players. Mikkey Dee is one of the great unsung metal drummers. Andy LaRoque's hooks and flourishes are always a joy. Earlier and later King Diamond records suffer from the lack of at least one of these qualities, or from the lack of some of the personnel. Mikkey Dee, especially, is sorely missed in the post-Conspiracy era. The songwriting on the later records is lacking the great hooks of the Abigail/Them/Conspiracy triumverate (but, after 1990, songwriting for most metal bands changed in a way I did not like). Also, King's story conceptions on these three records have always seemed to me to be more inspired.The bottom line is that there are plenty of people who are never going to like Kind Diamond. Either they're simply not into this kind of metal, or they can never get used to King's singing style. For my money, though, these three records are important, inspired, and a must-have.

SOURCE Pennsylvania Office of the Governor
HARRISBURG, Pa., June 12, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Tom Corbett today announced his approval of the Pennsylvania State Plan for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD), which proposes recommendations and a strategic approach to addressing the growth of the disease and related disorders in Pennsylvania.
The plan was developed by the Pennsylvania Alzheimer's Disease State Planning Committee, which Governor Corbett created by executive order last year.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, it is estimated that more than 400,000 Pennsylvanians are currently living with ADRD and, nationwide, one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia.
"The prevalence of this disease is of great concern, and a diagnosis is both heartbreaking and life-changing for many families and older Pennsylvanians," Corbett said. "I thank Secretary Duke, committee members and public meeting participants for sharing their experiences and suggestions throughout this process. I believe we have developed a strong action plan to address Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders."
The Pennsylvania State Plan for ADRD reflects a consensus from the committee on how to respond effectively to the disease, with seven recommendations including:
The plan also emphasizes the importance of collaboration among caregivers, state officials and legislators, organizations, academic and teaching entities, healthcare providers, and individuals living with ADRD and their families.
"These recommendations will help guide Pennsylvania's leaders to support individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders and those caring for them," said Pennsylvania Secretary of Aging Brian Duke, who also served as chairperson of the committee. "I commend Governor Corbett for his commitment to older Pennsylvanians and his foresight in guiding this strategic approach."
"This honors a diligent, year-long effort by the committee and marks another step forward for Pennsylvanians afflicted with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders," said Bob Marino, co-chair, Pennsylvania Public Policy Coalition and board member, Delaware Valley Chapter, Alzheimer's Association. "I thank Governor Corbett for his support and commitment."
Pennsylvania has the fourth-highest population percentage of elderly persons in the nation. As this population continues to grow, so does the prevalence of the disease.
The Pennsylvania Alzheimer's Disease Planning Committee, in conjunction with the Department of Aging, conducted regional public meetings and gathered written comments to obtain advice from organizations, subject matter experts and caregivers in developing the plan.

Minn. (KTTC) -- It may be hard to believe as March comes in like a lion but all this snow is what's needed as we move through the seasons.
In a short time we'll see snow covered fields become fertile cropland ready for spring planting.
Farmer Rick Lutzi says, "Right now we were at 60 percent moisture and this year we're at 30 percent moisture going into the season."
Frozen golf courses become the land of those coveted lush greens a place where summer time stands still for awhile.
Rochester's Park & Recreation's Leif Erickson says, "This is slow release moisture for us. This is exactly what we needed for our golf courses. I'd say 90% of this will probably be beneficial to us. The rest will probably be run-off."
And bare gardens become row after row of full-bloom symbols of the season.
Dawn Rohl of Aspelund Peony Gardens says, "This is good because it's keeping them covered and they're protected and it looks like spring might come at a normal time this year."
A successful warm season is somewhat dependent on mother nature's cooperation when it comes to snowfall and of course the thaw.
Erickson explains, "As it begins to melt through our air temperatures and through soil temperatures from below. We get this fissures, this freeze thaw action and these fissures allow a lot of moisture to enter into the soil."
As the drought worsened last year work proved difficult.
Rohl says, "It was back-breaking. It was very slow and the roots were really dry and we were a little concerned with how they were going to make it in others people's gardens this winter."
Even this latest round of March snow isn't expected to melt the drought but that won't stop the work.
Lutzi says, "We're getting ready to plant corn just like we normally would normally plant corn and hoping that mother nature works with us."
More than 70 percent of the state is still in severe to extreme drought. Southeastern Minnesota is no exception. Austin falls into that extreme category with a deficit of more than 21 inches. Rochester is in the severe category with a deficit of more than 16 inches.
Winona is considered to be only in moderate drought but we're talking about deficits that still top 12 inches.
It takes about 10 inches of snow to get the equivalent of one inch of rain meaning even a significant winter storm won't be enough to end the drought.

Police Shoot Man in Beaverton Disturbance
Written by Jeremy Scott on February 12, 2014
BEAVERTON — An officer shot a man on Tuesday afternoon inside a home on SW Bridle Hills Drive just off Hart Road. Police were called there for a disturbance.
They say the 28-year-old suspect armed with a weapon confronted them. At least one shot was fired and the man went down. He was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, but we're told he will survive. None of the officers were injured.
A man tells us there were three or four shots inside his house. A woman told our reporter that her sister had problems with her ex-boyfriend, who she calls a drug addict and says has been in and out of jail.

Among the assets destroyed by Superstorm Sandy was one piece of critical infrastructure that didn't even exist two decades ago: the cabling and switching that serves lower Manhattan's data networks. In an age when New York City's role as a nerve center for society and the economy depends on the Internet, the flooding of Verizon's switching centers under downtown is a serious matter.
Vox Media's "The Verge" news website has an up-close look at the action underground in this online report: ("Into the vault: the operation to rescue Manhattan's drowned internet," by Dante D'Orazio). The Verge's coverage includes some astonishing photos of the tangled web under Verizon's central office on Broad Street near the tip of Lower Manhattan. Verizon executive Christopher Levendos told the Verge reporter about damage to the nerve center under the building, which contains old copper wiring along with fiber-optic cable and switches responsible for routing local phone calls as well as DSL and FiOS data and phone service in and out of worldwide networks. "Levendos tells me the 90,000 cubic foot cable vault has suffered a 'catastrophic failure,' far worse than the damage done to a similar, but much larger vault at Verizon's West Street headquarters near the World Trade Center," writes D'Orazio.
Copper wiring was submerged for days and has been ruined — not just at the nerve center, but at manholes around downtown. And because paper in the wire's insulation sucks water up into the cables, even wiring that didn't get submerged has been ruined. Glass fibers that carry data encoded into laser light pulses isn't subject to corrosion by salt water, but the FiOS system has still been damaged — because the electronics that send the light into the fibers suffered degradation from the soaking.
The copper is toast, Verizon's Levendos says, and so Verizon has decided to replace it all with fiber, all over downtown. But their repair effort at the hub is running on backup generators brought in from off site: the already-installed backup generators in the upper floors of the building were served by fuel pumps at ground level that got ruined in the flood, and have to be fixed. Meanwhile, Verizon won't say how many thousands of data customers in downtown are still unconnected — or how long it will take to hook them back up.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Yorktown Huskers Football Team raised more than $1,100 in one night for Hudson Valley Hospital Center's Cheryl R. Lindenbaum Cancer Center. The team collected donations for the cancer center at its big game on Oct. 18th against rivals Poughkeepsie High School, in which Yorktown won 48 to 32.
William Dauster, Executive Director of the Foundation at Hudson Valley Hospital Center, thanked the team for its efforts and encouraged them to become professional fundraisers.
Hudson Valley Hospital Center's Cheryl R. Lindenbaum Cancer Center received a $10,000 check from the Hendrick Hudson Leos on Oct.17 at the cancer center's Breast Cancer Awareness night. The Lions youth group raised the money during this year's Stay-Awake-a-Thon, an annual event which raises money for cancer charities.
From left to right:Kathy Webster, Vice President of Patient Services (front row), Anne-Campbell-Maxwell, Director of Oncology Services, Hendrick Hudson Leos Sam McCann and Dylan Gambardella and Leos Adviser Deborah Costello.
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (May 29, 2013) – Affordable Healthcare, Women's Health and a variety of other issues were discussed Wednesday when Congresswoman Nita Lowey visited Hudson Valley Hospital Center to meet with its employees and tour the Hospital.
Lowey spoke to 50 employees, saying that they were on the front lines of changes that were taking place as a result of the Affordable Healthcare Act and that she valued their input and suggestions. "You are the experts,'' she said. "I would love to hear your suggestions because you are living it,'' she said.
HVHC President John C. Federspiel and Hospital vice presidents took Lowey on a walking tour of the Hospital. Lowey got a demonstration of the Hospital's new 3-D mammography unit, which provides the most sophisticated imaging to detect breast cancer. She also toured the new Comprehensive Cancer Center and visited the Hospital's no-wait Emergency Room as well as the Ashikari Breast Center.
Hudson Valley Hospital Center opened the Cheryl R. Lindenbaum Comprehensive Cancer Center in February 2012. The center offers radiation, infusion and support services in a new state-of-the-art facility equipped with the latest technology and support services. In the fight against breast cancer, the center recently added Inter-operative Radiation (IORT), which allows surgeons to irradiate areas of the breast during surgery, giving women the choice of curtailing weeks of traditional radiation following surgery.
Conventional radiation treatment devices are at the end of an evolutionary path that began more than a century ago. Our center, in contrast, uses The TomoTherapy® Hi·Art® treatment system.
The system relies on secure centralized database software for treatment planning, quality assurance, patient set-up and treatment delivery. While conventional radiation therapy machines use five to nine beam angles, the Hi·Art treatment system delivers radiation continuously from all angles around the patient. The increased beam angles, along with more precise beam modulation, create dose distributions that conform to complex tumor shapes. In addition, the TomoTherapy System integrates the use of a CT Scanner for more accurate planning. Traditionally, a patient is imaged weekly during the course of radiation therapy. With the TomoTherapy system, the physician gains valuable information from daily low dose imaging. This practice enhances the accuracy of treatment and significantly reduces the amount of exposure to healthy tissue by providing daily information about the target's location, shape and size.
Hudson Valley Hospital Center is fortunate to have as its Director of Radiation Oncology Dr. Chika Madu of Hudson Valley Radiation Oncology Services. Dr. Madu most recently served as Assistant Professor and Chief of Breast Service, in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Georgetown University Hospital, in Washington, DC.
At the Cheryl R. Lindenbaum Comprehensive Cancer Center you can expect comfort and convenience. We are just steps from parking. Your privacy is important to us so we have private dressing rooms as well as comfortable separate waiting area for men and women.

In his post-game press conference Thursday, a giggly Lou Piniella implied he was planning to go out last night to tie one on in celebration of the spectacular comeback victory. (I believe the exact quote was, "This is going to be a bad night for me.") It's a relief then, looking at today's lineup, to see Lou didn't stumble into the lockerroom still drunk and blindly pencil Koyie Hill into the leadoff spot as his second baseman or give a spot start to Michael Wuertz.
Geovany Soto gets the day off owing to irritation of a joint in his left hand. He is listed as day-to-day.
Our man Zambrano makes his first start since last Sunday's no-no at Milwaukee. I took a look at the last ten National Leaguers to throw complete game no-hitters before Zambrano to see how they fared in their very next outing.

I thought the scout was from his own organization (the Mariners). That's what the NY Post says. That's a relationship.
Back problems aren't good.
rizzo sits again.
Let's start with the strikeouts. Baez has fanned 43 times in his first 99 plate appearances, a 43.4 percent clip. No other player with as many PAs in 2014 has topped 40 percent (although, as most Cubs fans could tell you, Mike Olt has come close). According to data from Baseball Prospectus, if Baez strikes out in his next trip to the plate, he'll set a record for the most K's in the first 100 plate appearances of a nonpitcher's career since at least 1960.
ok. Thanks for the response. Do you know the dates? I always like to check out the first week of afl and catch cubs instructs. Thanks

But this is Chicago!!!!!
might add the fancy TV deals and publicly financed new stadiums that most teams are using to bolster their payrolls these days are not available to the Cubs at the moment.
but yeah, they should totally throw more of their personel wealth into the situation to be a .500 team. Good long-term strategy...
Really? A scout who harasses players he has basically no relationship with as if that is part of his job?
We have to get over "this is Chicago" bs.
Yes, it is and in the long run will prove beneficial for both owner and city. But they came into a situation with an old neglected stadium that can not be modernized without approval from the state, city and neighbors even though owner is using their money. Tell me where else outside North Korea and Cuba does that situation exist.
The farm system was in shambles, minimal scout system, and bloated underachieving major league team. But yeah they should have signed Prince Fielder and this would have been all better.
Former Cubs Player Development Director Oneri Fleita used to yell at Cubs minor leaguers from the Tower at Fitch Park (with a few choice "f-bombs" thrown in), but I don't recall ever hearing a scout yell at a player from the stands. In fact, scouts are usually exceptionally quiet and unassuming. Perhaps the cross-checker enjoyed a libation or three prior to the game.
Montero grades out at a 20 for the mental toughness tool.
He can have a job with the Cubs, as far as I'm concerned--maybe to wake Castro up.

Putting up NSSR a day early this week, as tomorrow's going to be kind of a hectic day for me. Working until about 2, then getting in the car and driving up to Seattle to spend Thanksgiving with a bunch of friends and family and booze and food.
Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday of all time. It doesn't have the gift-giving obligation or rituals, it has no religious or spiritual underpinnings; it's just people getting together with people to eat too much, drink too much, maybe watch some football if that's your thing, and just generally hang out with people you love for no reasons other than that.
I also love the food on Thanksgiving. I'm a fairly traditional person when it comes to this holiday - not for me the swanky gourmet dressing, the sweet potatoes, the not-turkey. I want everything on my plate to be brown, and if it's not (I do love green beans and asparagus), I'll make it brown by covering it with gravy. Christmas is when dishes can be more experimental/ham-based; for Thanksgiving, I want turkey, mashed potatoes, basic white-bread stuffing, gravy, and maybe a vegetable. That's it. And booze. Lots of booze. Can't have a family holiday without it!
So the questions this week are pretty simple, if American-based:
- What are you doing for the holiday? Hosting, going somewhere, ignoring it?
- What are your favorite Thanksgiving foods?
- Do you or your family have any fun Thanksgiving traditions?
Other than that, I got nothin' this week, except hopes that you and yours have an excellent Thanksgiving. If you don't celebrate Thanksgiving (or even if you do), what else is going on in your world this week?

|Carrasco, Indians fall to Twins 5-3
|Sunday, June 23, 2013 11:56 PM
Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Carlos Carrasco wasn't as sharp as he was in his last outing and it cost the Cleveland Indians.
Carrasco didn't get through the fifth inning of Indians' 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, snapping a 4-game winning streak.
Carrasco (0-3), who pitched into the eighth against Kansas City on June 17, allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings.
"Today, he was missing off the plate a little bit," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "They squared up a lot of balls. To his credit, he pitched, never gave in, he limited damage. They made him work really hard."
In his last start, Carrasco gave up only one run in 7 1/3 innings. He labored through Sunday's outing, throwing 104 pitches, walking four and striking out three.
"I threw more inside today than the last time," Carrasco said. "I just got in trouble a few times and it cost me three runs."
Carrasco is 0-8 in 10 starts since his last win, which came on June 29, 2011, when he defeated Arizona. He missed all of last season because of elbow surgery. Carrasco also served a 7-game suspension for throwing at the New York Yankees' Kevin Youkilis earlier this season.
Carrasco appeared to sustain an injury while throwing a pitch to Trevor Plouffe in the third. Francona and head trainer Lonnie Soloff visited Carrasco on the mound. The right-hander remained in the game and retired Plouffe on a fly ball to end the inning.
Matt Albers warmed up in the bullpen in the bottom of the inning but Carrasco returned for the fourth.
It appeared the Indians got a break before the game when Twins scheduled starter Mike Pelfrey was placed on the 15-day DL with a back strain. Pedro Hernandez, who was informed Saturday night that he might be needed, drove from Louisville, Ky., where Triple-A Rochester was playing, and arrived in Cleveland at 4 a.m. Sunday. The left-hander (3-1) pitched around six walks and got the win despite throwing 45 of his 85 pitches for balls.
"This is crazy for me," Hernandez said. "I slept three hours. But, you know, that's part of my job. I love my job."
Three Minnesota relievers allowed one run over the final four innings. Glen Perkins pitched the ninth for his 19th save.
The Indians loaded the bases in the second inning with no outs and could only score one run, a sacrifice fly from Yan Gomes. Jason Kipnis added an RBI double in the third while Drew Stubbs hit a solo homer in the seventh.
Michael Bourn opened the ninth with an infield hit but Mike Aviles bounced into a double play. Jason Kipnis doubled for his third hit of the game before Nick Swisher grounded out.
Kipnis went 3-for-4 with a walk — a single and two doubles — raising his average to .283. He has now reached base safely in 25 straight games.
Minnesota scored in the first on Josh Willingham's RBI single. Trailing 2-1, the Twins took the lead in the fifth thanks to their clutch hitting.
Clete Thomas' single and a walk to Joe Mauer started the inning. Carrasco retired the next two hitters but Oswaldo Arcia singled up the middle on a 3-2 pitch to tie the game. Plouffe bounced a single through the left side that put the Twins ahead and ended Carrasco's day.
Indians pitchers threw four wild pitches on Sunday with Gomes behind the plate.
Swisher returned to the lineup after missing six games with a sore left shoulder. He was hitless in five at-bats and is in a 6-for-60 slump.
Despite the loss, the Indians have won four series in a row and eight of their last 11 games.
NOTES: Indians RHP Chris Perez is expected to make another minor-league rehab appearance on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Perez threw a simulated game at Double-Akron on Sunday. His return to the Indians was delayed after he allowed three homers in one inning for Akron last week. … RHPs Brett Myers (shoulder) and Blake Wood (elbow) will each pitch an inning on a rehab assignment for Class A Mahoning Valley on Monday. Myers began the season in the rotation and was 0-3 with an 8.02 ERA, allowing 10 homers in 21 1/3 innings. Francona added Myers will pitch in the bullpen when he returns. … The Indians, who are 14-21 away from home, open a 10-game road trip today in Baltimore. RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (5-4) faces RHP Zach Britton (1-1).
TORONTO — Edwin Encarnacion homered and drove in four runs, Josh Johnson earned his first win of the season and the Toronto Blue Jays matched a team record by winning their 11th straight game Sunday, finishing a 3-game sweep of Baltimore with a 13-5 win.
Toronto also won 11 straight in 1987 and 1998.
Ryan Flaherty hit two homers but Baltimore lost for the fifth time in eight games and allowed a season-high in runs.
Johnson (1-2) allowed four runs and seven hits in 6-plus innings, walked one and struck out five.
Freddy Garcia (3-5) lost for the third time in four starts. He allowed a season-worst seven runs and seven hits in 2 1-/innings.
SEATTLE — Pinch-hitter Kendrys Morales had a game-ending 3-run homer in the 10th inning and Raul Ibanez connected twice for the Mariners in a victory over the Athletics.
Ibanez gave the Mariners the lead with a 2-run homer in the first inning and added a solo shot in the third, his team-leading 17th.
Mike Zunio struck out leading off the 10th but reached first on a wild pitch. He advanced to third on Michael Saunder's single before Morales hit the first pitch he saw from reliever Grant Balfour (0-1) deep to right-center.
Oliver Perez (2-1) pitched two innings to earn the win. Perez has not allowed a run in his last 11 innings.
Brandon Moss' solo home run off reliever Danny Farquhar in the eighth inning tied the game at 3.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals took advantage of a pair of errors by the Chicago White Sox to score three times in the eighth inning and rally for a win that avoided a 3-game sweep.
The Royals trailed by two when they got consecutive singles by Mike Moustakas and David Lough off ace White Sox reliever Jesse Crain (2-2) to start the eighth. An error by Crain while trying to field a bunt by Elliot Johnson loaded the bases with nobody out.
Crain struck out George Kottaras and Jarrod Dyson to breathe a bit easier but walked Alex Gordon to get Kansas City within a run. Alcides Esocbar then slapped a grounder to shortstop that Alexei Ramirez let through to left field, bringing in the go-ahead runs.
While unearned, they were the first runs Crain had allowed in 30 appearances.
Luke Hochevar (1-1) struck out two in a scoreless innings of relief for Kansas City.
DETROIT — Torii Hunter hit a tie-breaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning after two Boston errors helped load the bases and Prince Fielder added a 2-run single to help the Tigers to a sloppy victory over the Red Sox.
Justin Verlander struggled and Detroit trailed 4-3 in the seventh before Andrew Miller (0-2) hit Jhonny Peralta with a pitch with the bases loaded to tie it.
Joaquin Benoit (2-0) got the final four outs for the Tigers, although he allowed a run in the ninth.
NEW YORK — James Loney hit a tie-breaking 2-run single with two outs in the seventh inning and Rays beat the New York Yankees for a 4-game series split.
Chris Archer (2-3) pitched six innings of 1-run ball. Fernando Rodney struck out the side in the ninth for his 15th save in 20 chances this season.
Ivan Nova (2-2) left with two outs in the seventh after he hit Desmond Jennings and Ben Zobrist with pitches. Shawn Kelley walked Evan Longoria to load the bases and Boone Logan got to two strikes on Loney before the Rays first baseman lined a sharp shot up the middle.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Pedro Alvarez homered for the fourth straight game, Starling Marte capped a 3-run ninth inning with a tying single and the Pirates added four more in the 10th to beat the Angels and complete their first interleague sweep on the road.
Trailing 6-3 entering the ninth, the Pirates pulled even against closer Ernesto Frieri — his second blown save in 19 attempts. Kevin Jepsen (0-2) was the loser.
Russell Martin had RBIs in the ninth and 10th for Pittsburgh. Mark Melancon (2-1) pitched a perfect inning for the win.

Overnight Irish Oatmeal
Hands-On Time: 5min
Cook Time: 9h
Ready In: 9h 5min
Yield: 4 servings
Irish, steel-cut oats have so much more flavor and texture than the regular kind, but unfortunately they must be simmered on the stove for 30 minutes. To solve that problem, cook them overnight in your crock-pot. In the morning, all you need to do is spoon the creamy oatmeal into bowls and top with lots of dried fruit, toasted almonds and brown sugar for a satisfying and cozy treat.
- Grease the bowl of your crock pot with cooking spray. Add all ingredients, and stir well.
- Cover and set crock pot to low. Cook for 8-9 hours.
- Stir contents of the crock pot well, spoon into bowls and top with dried fruit, toasted nuts, brown sugar and buttermilk (or cream).

Testing Composite Cryotank Technology For Future Deep Space Missions
NASA's Amazing Daily Image
NASA has completed a complex series of tests on one of the largest composite cryogenic fuel tanks ever manufactured, bringing the aerospace industry much closer to designing, building, and flying lightweight, composite tanks on rockets. At NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, the tank was lowered into a structural test stand where it was tested with cryogenic hydrogen and structural loads to simulate stresses the tank would experience during launch. The project is part of NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate, which is innovating, developing, testing and flying hardware for use in NASA's future missions. Cryogenic propellants are gasses chilled to subfreezing temperatures and condensed to form highly combustible liquids, providing high-energy propulsion solutions critical to future, long-term human exploration missions beyond low-Earth orbit. In the past, propellant tanks have been fabricated out of metals. Switching from metallic to composite construction holds the potential to dramatically increase the performance capabilities of future space systems through a dramatic reduction in weight. > NASA Completes Successful Battery of Tests on Composite Cryotank Image Credit: NASA/David Olive

One year I made this ice cream for a Thanksgiving dinner and it has become a holiday staple. I like to add a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Once, by mistake, I added the pecans before freezing and that turned out just fine, too.

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

Former Leeds United man leaves the Beavers
8:00am Friday 30th November 2012 in Sport By Stuart Amos
Off: Ex-Leeds United striker Tresor Kandol, in FA Trophy action against Three Bridges, left Hampton this week
Hampton & Richmond Borough boss Mark Harper has admitted it was as much a case of shape up or ship out, as it was the club could no longer afford striker Tresor Kandol.
The former Leeds United front man was released by the club this week having barely played first team football during his brief spell at the Beveree.
The 28-year-old, who has a wealth of Football League experience under his belt, was a much-heralded signing when he pitched up at Station Road last month.
But Hampton's money men finally pulled the plug on the agreement having failed to get a good enough return on their investment.
"If it was a case that he came here, was fit, banging in goals left right and centre and looking like the professional footballer he should, then I could justify the money," said Harper.
"The club wasn't in a position to sustain his wages. He has been superb for us but he has had his injury problems and hasn't met the club's expectations.
"He is not happy, but what can you do? That is football."
Harper was left frustrated at the weekend as Hampton were held to a 1-1 FA Trophy draw by Blue Square South Chelmsford City after Charlie Moone had levelled Chelmsford's 53rd minute opener.
Monday's replay was postponed due to a waterlogged pitched and will now be replayed on December 3 with a trip to former League Two side Hereford United at stake.
"Frustrating is not the word. I'm bitterly disappointed because that tie should have been out of sight," he added.
"With the replay was postponed meant we got it with both barrels. I think we are at a disadvantage at Chelmsford now because I don't like the pitch or the place."
The Beavers prepare for the visit of Margate tomorrow with a fully fit squad and Harper wants results.
"We've got big games coming that we need to win to stay in touch at the top," he said.

San Antonio, Texas, June 11, 2013: Yesterday David Loven, age 60, was sentenced to Life in prison without parole for the offense of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child under the age of 6. Loven was also sentenced to an additional 5 Life terms for the offenses of Sexual Performance by a Child, two 20-year terms for Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact, and eighty 10-year terms for Possession or Promotion of Child Pornography. In each count the jury assessed a $10,000 fine. Loven was found guilty of all 88 counts on Friday, June 7, 2013. The trial judge, the Honorable Maria Teresa Herr of the 186th District Court, ordered that Loven serve all sentences concurrently.
On New Year's Eve 2011, a 5 year-old child made an outcry to her mother that Loven, whom she called "Davy Crockett", had molested her and had taken pictures of her. Loven was a long-time friend of the victim's mother. A search of the defendant's home revealed the defendant had photos and videos of the child exposing her genitals and anus. During their investigation police identified another female victim, now age 21, who had also been molested and photographed by Loven for several years beginning when she was 7 years-old. Evidence of more than 25,000 images of child pornography, including enlarged and framed images of the victims, child erotica, and more than 500 video recordings containing child pornography was discovered in Loven's home. In addition, zip-lock baggies containing children's underwear labeled with the names and ages of Loven's victims were seized. Both victims testified at trial to the numerous acts of sexual abuse perpetrated upon them by Loven. Loven pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but his plea was not supported by the evidence and therefore, not considered by the jury.
Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child under 6 is a first degree felony and carries a range of punishment of 25 years to 99 years or Life without parole, and up to a $10,000 fine. Sexual Performance by a Child is a first degree felony and carries a range of punishment of 5 years to 99 years or Life, and up to a $10,000 fine. Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact is a second degree felony and carries a range of punishment of 2 years to 20 years, and up to a $10,000 fine. Possession or Promotion of Child Pornography is a third degree felony and carries a range of punishment of 2 years to 10 years, and up to a $10,000 fine. Each offense requires an individual to register as a sex offender.
For more information, please contact District Attorney Susan Reed at 210.335.2342.
