The Joneses, our ultimate-host neighbors were dazed, their wine-stained welcome mat now a symbol of regret (but excellent rosé). It was a sorry sight: The Joneses' party-planning repertoire had been tapped-out and they were simply exhausted, stoically retrieving wayward confetti and random feta-stuffed olives from the patio lawn furniture (they still haven't found their cat).
So...yesterday Mrs. Jones saw us by the mailboxes and mentioned that she and Mr. Jones would be hosting the neighborhood block party this year - and wouldn't it be great if "another neighbor would volunteer to do it instead." A humdinger of a hint, wouldn't you say?
We gritted our teeth and, like complete fools, agreed to have the block party at our house.
Thankfully, being as familiar as we are with Fiesta stores, we knew exactly where to go. Conveniently, there's a Fiesta right down the street, and each of the department managers helped us put this thing together. We were worried, fearful that the cookout would be mediocre compared to the almost Gatsby-esque Jones' gatherings, but the quality was definitely there:
Between the Angus beef, marinaded meats and jumbo shrimp, everyone should be pleased as punch with the grilled offering... In addition to the meat, we picked up fresh pineapple and bell peppers, plus ingredients for the grilled chicken kabobs that the kids love from the Recipe Corner. How 'bout bruschetta? A few loaves of French bread ought to be more than enough.
Drinks were easy too: sodas, enhanced water/carbonated water/spring water, water, water...everything we needed. Ditto for wines and beer. We also picked up extra paper towels, too, just in case one of the kids dropped a cupcake on the couch again. What a waste; those cupcakes are amazing...
Needless to say, the party went quite well - the food was spectacular, the guests were happy, the Joneses' cat showed up - and we set a new benchmark of party standards.
Now the Jones' are trying to keep up.

SEATTLE—Jason Vargas pitched four-hit ball over seven innings to win his fourth straight decision and Franklin Gutierrez homered to send the Seattle Mariners to their season-high fifth consecutive victory, 2-0 over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night.
The Mariners have scored 11 runs during their winning streak, their longest since winning six in a row April 9-15, 2009. Five of those runs came in one game.
American League-record 116 games.
Brandon League and David Aardsma finished the six-hitter. Aardsma, a Cub in 2006, walked Geovany Soto and allowed a single to Alfonso Soriano with two outs in the ninth. But the right-hander struck out Tyler Colvin swinging at a 96 mph fastball for his 16th save in 20 chances.
Ryan Dempster (5-6) yielded five hits in his 11th career complete game and first since Sept. 29 for the Cubs.
Chicago lost for the third time in four games.
The Cubs immediately got League in trouble with a walk by Starlin Castro and a single by Ryan Theriot to begin the eighth. But the ground-ball specialist got Marlon Byrd, who had two hits off Vargas, to chop into a double play. Byrd punched the air in frustration.
Pinch-hitter Chad Tracy then popped out, and the shutout stayed intact.
Vargas (6-2) had seven strikeouts, one short of his career high, and lowered his surprising ERA to 2.66. That's sixth-best in the AL.
Not bad for a Marlins and Mets castoff who battled a bad hip for years, then had to sweat out a Mariners roster spot in spring training.
After Jose Lopez singled off Dempster to begin the second, Gutierrez sent a high, 91 mph fastball deep into the Mariners' bullpen far beyond left-center field. Gutierrez's sixth home run of the season, and first since May 25, was all Vargas needed.
The fastest pitch he threw was 88 mph. But his location was exquisite - Jeff Baker watched that fastball for strike three on the inside corner to end the sixth.
Chicago's best chance against Vargas came when Soto walked and Soriano singled him to third with two outs in the seventh. First baseman Mike Carp saved the shutout by diving to his right and grabbing a grounder by Colvin. Vargas got over in time to cover the bag and receive Carp's throw to end the inning and keep it 2-0.
Soriano squandered an earlier prime chance for Chicago. He doubled leading off the fifth, then rounded third unaware that left fielder Michael Saunders had drifted into left-center field to easily catch Colvin's line drive. Saunders walked halfway to second and could have gone all the way for the unassisted double play but flipped the ball there instead.
The owner of six All-Star appearances and a $136 million contract walked off the field looking bewildered. He remained that way in the dugout while talking to teammates.
NOTES: The many Cubs fans at Safeco Field booed Mariners slugger Milton Bradley each time he came to the plate. They loved it when he struck out twice. He also walked and flied out, dropping his average to .211. Chicago traded Bradley for Carlos Silva just one failed season into his $30 million, three-year contract with the Cubs. ... Silva will not start the series finale Thursday as planned because of a sore hamstring. Chicago manager Lou Piniella said Silva is scheduled to start Saturday at the White Sox. Ted Lilly will start Thursday. ... This was the Cubs' first game in Seattle since 2002, and Piniella's first in Seattle since 2005 when he was in his final season managing Tampa Bay.

CARY — Both the Cary Christian girls and boys basketball teams put on dominating performances against Eastern Plains Independent Conference rival Raleigh Grace Christian in a packed gym on Friday.
Senior Julie Thompson led the unbeaten Lady Knights to a 60-26 victory over the Eagles, while Caleb Ellis and Jason Thompson propelled the Knights to a 65-30 win.
Both Knight teams used a pressing defense to jump out to big first-half leads and cruise in the second half.
Knights girls roll: Girls head coach Shelly Holmes realized her team was a bit tentative in the first quarter, when it nursed a 7-6 lead. Holmes said Cary Christian was not used to facing a team with two tall girls, the Eagles tandem of Carol Anne Obusek and Devan Ferrell.
Once they settled down and realized they still needed to attack, the Knights (6-0) outscored Grace Christian 21-6 in the second quarter to take a 28-12 lead into intermission.
"The girls just started seeing the gaps in their defense and getting the ball into the openings for easier shots," said Holmes.
Cary forced Grace into numerous hurried and contested shots, in addition to creating turnovers and fast break opportunities.
Thompson led the winners with 17 points, but the senior was more thrilled afterward with the play of all her teammates, especially Emily Clarkson, who chipped in 11 points, and Grace Smith, who added nine.
"We're like a family, we have so much fun together," Thompson said. "Hopefully our upcoming Christmas tournament will help prepare us for what we hope to see later at states."
Grace fell to 1-9. Obusek paced the Eagles with 12 points, while Parnaya Bora added eight.
"We're a young team with five freshmen and three sophomores," said Grace head coach Lawrence Thames. "We competed tonight. We're just trying to build the program."
Quick start for Cary boys: The Knights (6-2) scored the game's first 13 points, led 22-3 at one point, and cruised to a 36-15 halftime lead over the shorthanded Eagles.
Ellis (15 points) and Thompson (14) shot over and passed around the Grace defense, while Nick Smith added eight points. Cary used a tenacious press defense to disrupt the Grace ballhandlers, forcing turnovers and creating some easy transition scoring opportunities.
"We shot the ball well and played great defense, which is always a recipe for success," said Cary Christian head coach Bill Thompson. "We're so deep, honestly the hardest problem is getting playing time for all these guys."
Ellis had the highlight play of the evening, a thunderous dunk after Devin Dukes stole an Eagle pass. Thompson nailed three treys and drove to the basket with authority, while Chico Mendes dished out several assists.
"We knew the fans would keep us pumped up tonight," Ellis said. "We were passing the ball so well and really moving without the ball."
Jason Thompson agreed, and said the team was finishing plays and displayed a focus that it will need the rest of the season.
Grace (2-7), which was missing two starters, including point guard Michael Hager, knew going in the night might be challenging.
"We just didn't handle their press well," Grace head coach John Green said. "We had players playing out of position, but we're not making excuses, (Cary) played a great game. We will get better from this experience."
Alex Ash and Aaron Baker each scored 10 points for the Eagles.

On tonight's Dr. Joy we highlight something that women have mastered and men haven't figured out. That is that one key secret to dealing with stress is friendship.
So we are looking into women, stress and the power of those friendships.
What have we learned about women and their friendships?
· 5 decades of research has focused on males who tend to react to stress with "fight or flight."
· Women under stress tend to bond, reach out and tend to children, clean or recreate.
· When women befriend or tend, they release more Oxytocin which produces a calming effect on the body.
What does friendship do for women in a physical sense?
· Famed Harvard Nurses' study showed that the more friends that a woman had, the less likely they were to develop physical impairments when they aged.
· The greater the number of friends the higher the level of joyfulness in a woman's life.
· Women who didn't have close friends created a detrimental health risk factor as great as increased weight or smoking.
· Friends and confidants have proven to add years to a woman's life.
What are some tips for women who want to enhance their friendships?
· Make time for friends: schedule time and do something wonderful for yourself.
· Women tend to get busy and the first thing we let go of is typically time with friends. So call a friend and increase your health and happiness.
· Perhaps one way is to save October 26 for the Women's Lifestyle show where you can celebrate friendships, empowerment and women.

Analysis: Blackburn Rovers 1 Doncaster Rovers 0
Updated 3:43pm Monday 13th January 2014 in Sport By Paul Wheelock, Blackburn Rovers reporter
IT is unlikely One Direction's Louis Tomlinson or any anyone else at Ewood Park on Saturday would have been Up All Night replaying the highlights of this one.
A classic it most certainly was not.
But then this was never about Rovers putting on a show for their star guest.
This was all about them, One Way or Another, getting the three points.
As anything less than victory would have been viewed as a major disappointment following the magnificent performances that yielded a win at Leeds United and an FA Cup draw with Manchester City.
With the weight of expectation resting heavily on their shoulders Gary Bowyer's young team deserve huge credit, then, for getting the job done. But my word they did not make it easy for themselves.
After an excellent first-half display in which their sharp and attractive football saw them create and waste a host of chances, Rovers had only Rudy Gestede's emphatic headed finish on the stroke of half-time to show for their superiority.
The big striker's second goal for the club – and his first at home – ultimately proved to be the winner. That, in the end, was harsh on struggling Doncaster.
As Paul Dickov's spirited side, roared on by more than 800 supporters including celebrity fan and non-contract player Tomlinson, penned Rovers back deep into their own half in a second period that was in complete contrast to the first.
And in four nerve-shredding minutes of injury-time Donny twice went agonisingly close to snatching the equaliser their dramatic transformation after the interval deserved.
But on both occasions they were denied by returning hero Paul Robinson.
Had the fit-again former England goalkeeper not shown incredible concentration levels and reflexes to save from Alex Peterson and Richie Wellens, the outlook at the start one of the biggest weeks in Rovers' season so far would have been markedly different.
Instead they go into Wednesday's cup replay at City and Saturday's crucial Championship clash at top-six rivals Nottingham Forest in high spirits.
But it goes without saying they will have to play better than they did after the restart here if they are to get anything from either the Etihad Stadium – as fanciful as that sounds – or the City Ground.
Rovers can, however, take encouragement from how they went about their business before the break.
Bubbling with confidence, they should have been out of sight inside the first 15 minutes. But Tom Cairney twice wasted golden opportunities, dragging the first one wide after strong hold-up play by Gestede and somehow side-footing the second one over after Ben Marshall had skipped past Luke McCullough and laid the ball on a plate for the onrushing midfielder.
It was Doncaster's first visit to Blackburn in 45 years.
McCullough will certainly not want to return in a hurry after the going over he was given by the rejuvenated Marshall, who crossed for Jordan Rhodes to head over before testing Ross Turnbull with a swerving, dipping long-range drive.
But the influence of Marshall and Cairney waned after the opening period and, after Gestede flicked on for his recalled strike-partner Rhodes to draw a low stop out of Turnbull, Rovers never went close again.
Crucially, however, they had a lead to protect.
It was a lead which owed everything to Rhodes' desire initially to chase down a raking, diagonal ball from Adam Henley and then his vision to stand it up to the back post for Gestede to rise superbly above debutant Abdoulaye Meite and head home.
Doncaster, now without a win in 10 games, could have had no complaints had they been further behind at that stage.
But whatever their manager – former Rovers forward Dickov – said in the dressing room certainly had the desired effect.
That said, a cross-shot from James Coppinger aside, Robinson was not truly tested until right at the death.
That is when the 34-year-old called on his class and experience to palm away Peterson's header from point-blank range before getting down low to his left to prevent a Wellens curler from creeping in.
Robinson's heroics drew the praise of Tomlinson after the match and ensured his team moved to up eighth, their joint highest position of the campaign to date.
While there remains plenty of room for further improvement there is no doubt about it – Rovers are moving in the right direction.

Thieves couldn't steal one church's desire to get kids off to school with all the essentials.
Calvary Philadelphia Baptist Church in East Oak Cliff was broken into overnight Thursday. The thieves got in through vents and got away with cash and a collection of backpacks filled with school supplies. The backpacks were intended for kids who might otherwise do without.
"I was really sad. My heart was heavy," said church member Gena Bell.
But hope wasn't lost. Thanks to members of the community and other church's the backpack giveaway went on as planned Sunday.
"We had school supplies left over from our school drive and so when we had left over and there was another church in need, we had to help out," said Kyle Welsh, the youth minister at Tyler Street United Methodist Church in Dallas.
In his Sunday sermon, Pastor Joe Moore asked church members to forgive those who broke in and stole from them. He also insisted on one other thing.
"It's a joy to see the children, putting it in their hands. It's for them and not the adults and the people who have given I want them to see where it's going," said Pastor Joe Moore. Church member Jacquoline Range brought her school-aged niece.
Even though I'm not a member of the church, we still get school supplies. I really needed a backpack so I was able to get it," said Makayla Tolbert.
"The community gave back and we thank God for that," said Bell.
So far no arrests have been made, but Pastor Moore says they do have surveillance video of the thieves and he hopes it will help police track down those responsible.

Sheila Jackson Lee on Immigration
Democratic Representative (TX-18)
Proponents support voting YES because:
It is obvious there is no more defining issue in our Nation today than stopping illegal immigration. The most basic obligation of any government is to secure the Nation's borders. One issue in which there appears to be a consensus between the Senate and the House is on the issue of building a secure fence. So rather than wait until comprehensive legislation is enacted, we should move forward on targeted legislation which is effective and meaningful. The legislation today provides over 700 miles of two-layered reinforced fencing, and for the rest of the border provides a virtual fence, via integrated surveillance technology.
Opponents support voting NO because:
Just to build the fence is going to cost us at least $7 billion. Where is the money coming from to pay for it? How much is it going to cost to maintain this 700-mile fence? Who is going to do it? This bill contains no funding.
This bill also ignores real enforcement measures, like hiring more Border Patrol personnel, and instead builds a Berlin Wall on our southern border. So long as employers need workers in this country, and while our immigration systems impede rather than facilitate timely access of willing workers to those opportunities, undocumented immigration will never be controlled.
Walls, barriers, and military patrols will only force those immigrants to utilize ever more dangerous routes and increase the number of people who die in search of an opportunity to feed and clothe their families.
None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to provide a foreign government information relating to the activities of an organized volunteer civilian action group, operating in the State of California, Texas, New Mexico, or Arizona, unless required by international treaty.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a national, non-profit, public interest membership organization of concerned citizens united by their belief in the need for immigration reform. Founded in 1979, FAIR believes that the U.S. can and must have an immigration policy that is non-discriminatory and designed to serve the environmental, economic, and social needs of our country.
FAIR seeks to improve border security, to stop illegal immigration, and to promote immigration levels consistent with the national interest—more traditional rates of about 300,000 a year.
With more than 70,000 members nationwide, FAIR is a non-partisan group whose membership runs the gamut from liberal to conservative.
The ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
OFFICIAL CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY: Grants States the option of covering certain categories of eligible pregnant women and child resident aliens, including targeted low-income children, under the Medicaid and SCHIP programs.
SPONSOR'S INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: Sen. CLINTON: This legislation would allow States to use Federal funds to provide critical healthcare services to pregnant women and children. This bill is fundamentally about three things--fairness, fiscal relief, and financial savings.
I will start with fairness. All across America, legal immigrants work hard, pay taxes, and exercise their civic responsibilities. Yet, in 1996, Congress denied safety net services to legal immigrants who had been in the country for less than 5 years.
This legislation is also a matter of good fiscal policy. Today, 19 States use State funds to provide healthcare services to legal immigrants within the 5-year waiting period. At least 155,000 children and 60,000 adults are receiving these benefits. A total of 387,000 recent legal immigrants would be eligible to receive these services if their States opt to take advantage of the program.
And finally, this bill is about long-term healthcare cost savings. Covering uninsured children and pregnant women through Medicaid can reduce unnecessary hospitalization by 22%. Pregnant women who forgo prenatal care are more likely to develop complications during pregnancy, which results in higher costs for postpartum care. And women without access to prenatal care are four times more likely to deliver low birth weight infants and seven times more likely to deliver prematurely than women who receive prenatal care, according to the Institute of Medicine. All of these health outcomes are costly to society and to the individuals involved.
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Referred to Senate Committee on Finance; never came to a vote.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 USBC scores as follows:
U.S. Border Control, founded in 1988, is a non-profit, tax-exempt, citizen's lobby. USBC is dedicated to ending illegal immigration by securing our nation's borders and reforming our immigration policies. USBC [works with] Congressmen to stop amnesty; seal our borders against terrorism and illegal immigration; and, preserve our nation's language, culture and American way of life for future generations.
Our organization accepts no financial support from any branch of government. All our support comes from concerned citizens who appreciate the work we are doing to seal our borders against drugs, disease, illegal migration and terrorism and wish to preserve our nation's language, culture and heritage for the next generations.
To temporarily increase, for five years, the number of visas available for backlogged spouses and children of lawful permanent resident aliens.

Updating a story from yesterday, some more information has been released about the Pirates' new Mexican signees. Pirates Prospects found this (Spanish-language) article from Notimex, a Mexican wire service, which includes the names and basic info of the players. There's a photo of all three players and their newly-signed contracts here. All three were signed by Jesus "Chino" Smith, the Pirates' top scout in Mexico, who has been following them "since last December." For details and some questionable analysis, look below the cut ...
There's some game film of Pérez below. It's from 2011, but before he signed with the Leones. He's batting cleanup for Pacabtún (the team in the green uniforms), wearing #24, and playing first base. Notable moments come at 2:02 (good defense - fields a tough Baltimore chop), 3:41 (bad defense - dives for a ball but can't glove it, goes for an infield hit), 4:55 (batting, grounder to short), 9:04 (batting, fly to shallow left center), 9:41 (bad defense - doesn't call a popup, then misses the catch after a desperate effort), 11:10 (good defense - tough catch on a throw that sailed a bit), 11:19 (ordinary defense - catches a popup), 11:39 (good defense - strong, decisive throw on a rundown following a pickoff), 12:22 (strange play - throws a shoulder/elbow into a runner who was out of the baseline, lucky the ump didn't object), 12:28 (good defense, fields another Baltimore chop with a quick flip for the out), 15:50 (batting, fly to left).
My takeaway from the game, for whatever it's worth: Reasonably quick bat, some power/power potential, very pull-heavy. On defense, solid arm and a decent receiver around the bag, but doesn't seem to read balls well or react to them quickly. Subjectively, he kind of reminds me of a right-handed Pedro Alvarez, which is a little bit disconcerting, but not a bad thing.
The second player, Omar Basulto Germón, is a left-handed pitcher. Basulto pitched in two games for the Leones last year as a 17-year-old, allowing a walk and a home run in a total of four innings pitched. He's listed at 6'3" and 190 lbs., and looks to have some physical projection on his frame. According to this piece, he was used as a starter prior to signing with the Leones. The Rangers, Brewers, Twins, and Yankees were also interested in him to one degree or another, and he apparently pitched for Mexico at the World Junior Championships, earning a bronze medal and winning some type of Yucatan-specific award for best individual athlete in a team sport. In the photo of the three players, I believe that he's the one on the left, in the white-and-maroon striped shirt.
There's some film of him warming up below.
From that clip, Basulto looks like he has kind of a slingy delivery out of a 3/4 arm slot. Maybe a tiny bit of armside run (see 4:24, for example). He also overthrew a couple of pitches, probably because he was trying to reach back for a little more velocity than he actually had. Nothing jumped out as an obvious mechanical flaw to me, but I'm not a scout, so caveat emptor. With those little pipestem legs, he looks like a kid who's going to add some more speed once he gets on a serious lifting program.
The third and final player, Eduardo Vera Hernández, has never played for the Leones. He's a right-handed pitcher, he's currently seventeen years old, and he has been on the national radar for quite some time: this piece talks about him being a part of the Mexican national team for 11-12 year olds. A scout for the Twins made some favorable comments about him in August of 2011, after watching him at a showcase. I can't find much other info on him, other than that he apparently worked as a reliever last year, which doesn't necessarily mean much given his age. In the photo, I believe that he's the one in the plain white shirt, though it's possible that I have the two pitchers reversed - both seem to write with their right hands, and Basulto has gotten a fairly drastic haircut since all the other photos of him I can find were taken.
Best of luck to all three - I hope I get the chance to see them in Pittsburgh some day.

If Congress fails to reach an agreement regarding automatic budget cuts set to start on March 1, it could have serious impacts on air travel.
On Friday, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood warned that cutbacks within the FAA could result in fewer air traffic controllers and the closures of small airport towers around the country.
LaHood said if Congress does not reach an agreement, there will be harmful consequences that will cost jobs and hurt the economy. The most imminent problem for the public will be the cancellation of flights and significant delays at airports across the country.
"Once airlines see the potential impact of these furloughs, we expect that they will change their schedules and cancel flights. So, we are beginning today discussions with our unions to likely close more than 100 air traffic control towers at airports with fewer than 150,000 flight operations per year," said LaHood.
Here locally, the Peoria General Wayne A. Downing International Airport could have its overnight tower shift eliminated. In Bloomington, the Central Illinois Regional Airport could have its air traffic control facility closed.

Charity starts at home: But we're pinching pennies at home
- 12:42 pm Tuesday, August 30th, 2011 by Emily Roach
Nonprofits are struggling just like every other business in this economy. Just like people aren't spending at their favorite store, they are not giving to their local charity as much as in the past.
However, nonprofits often need "matching" dollars for grants, so every time they lose a buck, they really lose two or three. Because commitments to charity are delayed — you promise $100 in January and pay sometime during the year — nonprofits feel the effects of the people's current economic discomfit through next year.
The good news is that nonprofits appear to [More]

Mark Schauer on Health Care
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. HEATH SHULER (D, NC-11): Putting a dangerous, overworked FDA in charge of tobacco is a threat to public safety. Last year, the FDA commissioner testified that he had serious concerns that this bill could undermine the public health role of the FDA. And the FDA Science Board said the FDA's inability to keep up with scientific advancements means that Americans' lives will be at risk.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes: Rep. HENRY WAXMAN (D, CA-30): The bill before us, the Waxman-Platts bill, has been carefully crafted over more than a decade, in close consultation with the public health community. It's been endorsed by over 1,000 different public health, scientific, medical, faith, and community organizations.
Sen. HARRY REID (D, NV): Yesterday, 3,500 children who had never smoked before tried their first cigarette. For some, it will also be their last cigarette but certainly not all. If you think 3,500 is a scary number, how about 3.5 million. That is a pretty scary number. That is how many American high school kids smoke--3.5 million. Nearly all of them aren't old enough to buy cigarettes. It means we have as many boys and girls smoking as are participating in athletics in high schools. We have as many as are playing football, basketball, track and field, and baseball combined.
Rep. FRANK PALLONE (D, NJ-6): In the last Congress, we passed legislation that enjoyed bipartisan support as well as the support of the American people. Unfortunately, it did not enjoy the support of the President, who vetoed our bill twice, and went on to proclaim that uninsured children can simply go to the emergency room to have their medical needs met. As the Nation moves deeper into a recession and unemployment rates continue to rise, millions of Americans are joining the ranks of the uninsured, many of whom are children. We can't delay. We must enact this legislation now.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. ROY BLUNT (R, MI-7): This bill doesn't require the States to meet any kind of threshold standard that would ensure that States were doing everything they could to find kids who needed insurance before they begin to spend money to find kids who may not have the same need. Under the bill several thousands of American families would be poor enough to qualify for SCHIP and have the government pay for their health care, but they'd be rich enough to still be required to pay the alternative minimum tax. The bill changes welfare participation laws by eliminating the 5-year waiting period for legal immigrants to lawfully reside in the country before they can participate in this program. In the final bill, we assume that 65% of the children receiving the benefit wouldn't get the benefit anymore. It seems to me this bill needs more work, would have benefited from a committee hearing. It doesn't prioritize poor kids to ensure that they get health care first.

Joining me to share their Mac memories are Ted Landau, Christopher Breen, Dan Moren, Jackie Dove, Serenity Caldwell, and Sharon Zardetto. Throughout the podcast, I also talk with Jason Snell who visited with a trio of Apple executives to talk about the Mac on its 30th birthday.Read more »

The cloud band that is associated with a cold front and a surface trough has now largely moved over the Tasman Sea. Cold-air cloud behind this front remains over eastern Victoria and eastern New South Wales.
Cloud over southern Western Australia and the Bight is due to a low pressure trough and an upper level jet stream.
The northern half of the country is mostly clear due to a ridge of high pressure extending northwards from the Bight.

MVHS seeking public help in principal search
Original post made on Apr 22, 2013

As a parent of MVHS involved in many areas of the school, we are lacking serious leadership. First the AD is let go and now the movement out of Keith Moody. I enlist Dr Groves to hire a principal that is not a yes man. I was very upset to be in a meeting where the board of trustees poined out that Dr Groves worked for them and Keith Moody works for Dr Groves. This was done in a clear way making the point that you better do what I want. There are many issues at MVHS right now- the grading issue, the oracle issue, the AD issue and it goes on. We need a principal that can bring fresh ideas and feels that he can have the power to make smart changes. This is the valley of innovation-lets hire a leader! Many parents at MVHS are starting to think that we have serious problems with Dr Groves- he is happy with the status quo. This does not take you ahead!
on Apr 23, 2013 at 7:09 pm
Um... The Superintendent DOES work for the Board, and the Principal DOES work for the Superintendent. Why would that upset you?
on Apr 24, 2013 at 2:36 pm
MVHS has too many old people working there.....they are too comfy.....they know they are backed by a strong teachers union, so most really do not do anything over and beyond.....I'm saying MOST....key word MOST.....you walk in the office and they look like they are suicidal.....they look sooooo unhappy......they are set in there ways........when you talk to them it's like the deer in the head lights look.......Keith Moody was irrelevant......he was sorta a trophy principal........MVHS

Because the Bears are scheduled to be a participant in the Hall of Fame Game on August 7, they are set to open their training camp on July 22, about a week earlier than most teams. Of course if there is no Collective Bargaining Agreement reached by then, the game could be canceled and the start of camp could be delayed.
Bears SS Chris Harris told the Chicago Tribune that if camp is pushed back at all, the team should not have to play its full slate of preseason games.
"No one wants to play four exhibition games, but that's what we do. I'm cool with playing (the Hall of Fame) game if we get training camp started on time," Harris told the newspaper. "But anything past (July 22), then I'm not cool with it."
The safety said that even if camp is delayed just a few days, it is not worth risking injury for the meaningless game in Canton. Bears management specifically chose July 22 as the date needed to begin camp in order to be ready for the Hall of Fame game on time, so anything after that would be a concern for Harris.
"Even if we report three days later, then it's still past that date. The Bears organization, (head coach) Lovie (Smith) and (GM) Jerry (Angelo) made the decision to have training camp when we're having it because of that preseason game on Aug. 7. So that's the amount of time it would take for us to get ready for the game. That's how I look at it."
The Bears will play the Rams in the Hall of Fame game this year if a new labor agreement is reached in time. Harris said he is cautious about reading too much into how the negotiations are going.
"With the way this thing is going, it's more frustrating than at the start because you can't plan anything," Harris said. "We're used to having a definitive schedule, and we don't have it."

Two media titans - Washington Post Managing Editor Steve Coll and Landmark Communications founder Frank Batten - will take part in Old Dominion University's 97th commencement at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15. The program for more than 2,000 graduates will be the first held in the new Ted Constant Convocation Center.
Coll will deliver the commencement address and Frank Batten, retired chairman of the board of Landmark Communications, will receive an honorary doctorate of humane letters.
Batten, who began his career in the 1950s, inherited two local newspapers, The Virginian-Pilot and The Ledger-Star, and built them into Landmark Communications Inc., a privately held media company with national and international interests in newspapers, broadcasting, cable programming and electronic publishing. The company employs more than 5,000 people and also owns fixed wireless companies and a career schools division. In 1998, Batten passed control of Landmark to his son, Frank Batten Jr., and currently serves as chairman of the board's executive committee.
With a long history of support and service to Old Dominion, Batten was a member of the advisory board to the Norfolk Division of the College of William and Mary, and became the first rector of the Board of Visitors of the independent Old Dominion College in 1962. In 1972, the university's Batten Arts and Letters building was dedicated in his honor. His financial support to Old Dominion earned him the distinction as the university's most significant and enduring contributor, and in 1995 Old Dominion initiated the Batten Award to recognize and encourage others who have demonstrated outstanding charitable support.
Coll, who has served as managing editor of The Post since 1998, has been a reporter, foreign correspondent and editor at the newspaper since 1985. After working as a contributing editor at California Magazine and authoring a book about the lawsuit and politics that led to the breakup of AT&T, he joined The Post initially as a feature writer in the Style section.
Early in 1987, after writing a second book, about the oil industry and the world of hostile corporate takeovers on Wall Street, he returned as The Post's financial correspondent in New York, where he covered the stock market crash, the Ivan Boesky-Michael Milken investigations, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. A series about the SEC that Coll wrote with David A. Vise won the 1990 Pulitzer Prize for explanatory journalism.
In 1989, Coll moved to New Delhi, India, to become The Post's South Asia correspondent. For three years he covered India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal during various revolutions, insurgencies and natural disasters, and he also reported occasionally from the Middle East. His dispatches from South Asia won the 1992 Livingston Award for outstanding international reporting.
That year, Coll became The Post's first international projects and investigative correspondent, based in London. For the next three years he traveled from Kazakhstan to Panama to report and write for the newspaper on subjects such as nuclear proliferation, money laundering, terrorism, the international economy, political changes in the post-Cold War world, and news events from Asia to the Balkans to Northern Ireland.
In the summer of 1995, Coll was appointed editor of The Washington Post Magazine. In 1996, he was appointed publisher of The Magazine as well, overseeing all of its editorial and business operations. In 1998, he was appointed managing editor of the newspaper.
Coll received the 2000 Overseas Press Club's Ed Cunningham Memorial Award and the 2001 Robert F. Kennedy International Print Award for reporting on the civil war in Sierra Leone. Earlier this year he was the keynote speaker at the South Asian Journalists Association convention, where he presented the first Daniel Pearl Award for outstanding reporting on South Asia.
He is the author of four books: "The Deal of the Century: The Break Up of AT&T" (1986); "The Taking of Getty Oil: The Full Story of the Most Spectacular - & Catastrophic - Takeover of All Time" (1987); "Eagle on the Street: Based on the Pulitzer Prize-Winning Account of the SEC's Battle With Wall Street" (with David A. Vise, 1990); and "On the Grand Trunk Road: A Journey into South Asia" (1994).
Coll graduated Phi Beta Kappa, cum laude from Occidental College, Los Angeles, with a degree in English and history.

Baseball drops series finale at Stetson

A bad seventh inning was the JU baseball team's downfall in an 8-3 loss at Stetson in Atlantic Sun Conference action at Melching Field Saturday.
Trailing 3-1 in the seventh inning, the Hatters (21-10, 5-4 A-Sun) scored six runs on four hits, highlighted by a Mitchell Brennan three-run triple, to seal the win for the second straight day. The Dolphins (12-21, 2-7) led in each of the games before suffering the loss.
"That one inning did us in," JU head coach Terry Alexander. "We built a good lead early. It looked like we had some momentum for more runs, but the game slipped away from us again. Overall, we needed to be sharper to put teams away in games."
The Hatters opened the seventh inning with two hits and a walk to load the bases. Sam Kimmel scored a run with a sacrifice fly in the next at-bat. Anderson hit Ben Carhart to reload bases. Mark Jones followed with an infield single to score a run, while Brennan followed with a three-run triple for the 6-3 advantage.
Carhart tripled home a run with two outs in the eighth inning, while Robbie Powell pitched a scoreless ninth to secure the Hatters' win.
Stetson reliever Jake Boyd (3-0) got the win with a hit and no runs in 1.1 innings. Will Dorsey allowed three runs on five hits, four strikeouts and three walks in 6.1 innings for the no-decision.
JU sophomore Chris Anderson (3-3) took the loss, allowing seven runs on 11 hits and five strikeouts in 6.1 innings of work.
Carhart and senior Jonathan Murphy each had three hits to lead their respective offenses.
The Dolphins took a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a two-run single from junior Adam Brett Walker II. Trey Blackman homered in the fourth inning, but junior Dan Gulbransen recorded a sacrifice fly the seventh to give JU a 3-1 advantage.
The Dolphins return home to host Georgia Southern Wednesday at John Sessions Stadium. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.

Let me begin by saying how extremely fortunate we were to have been able to make all ports of call and sail into the bay at Cape Horn on our trip that left on 12-14-10, We were told the only other cruise that was here the week before us was not able to reach the Falkland Islands, Elephant Island, or go down to Antarctica or through Cape Horn as the waves were too high and rough and winds were too strong. We were however, able to reach Cape Horn in the bay, but the captain announced that since the winds were so strong, we would not be sailing around the horn. Seas were a little rocky on the two of the days we were at sea, but not near as bad as we were anticipating. Guess the saying is true, Cape Horn can be a Sailors Graveyard or a calm sea...we foruntatly had the calm sea!
Food - Overall food was exceptional. We have cruised 5 other times on Royal Caribbean and Cunard and Celebrity, and by far, Celebrity comes out on top of all others. Presentation, quality, quantity, and taste far exceeded other lines.
Stateroom - Our location was as inside cabin on the 8th deck, just down the hall from elevators and library. Appropriate space for the time you actually spend in your room. Stateroom attendants were outstanding as well!
Staff - Staff on this ship were the most courteous, helpful, and friendly we have experienced.
Approximate cruises age - Most were in their late 60's, early 70's. We were by far, one of a very few younger couples in our late 40's.
Elephant Island - We were only able to sail past this island and there were no inhabitants. Very pretty.
Antarctica - Wow! Words cannot describe how absolutely beautiful and astounding this was to see in person. The colors, the quiteness, all of it - just superb! It was quite cold too, with a pretty strong wind blowing, so dress warm.
Cape Horn - We were the lucky cruise that actually got to sail through the bay, but couldn't actually sail around the horn, which was fine. It, also was very pretty.
Falkland Islands - We boarded a speed boat that took us to a remote area on Falkland Islands where we participated in a 4x4 off road excursion to see Gentoo Penguins in their colony. This was really an off road adventure, and I would recommend adhering to the warnings that if you have back or neck troubles, this is not the excursion you should take. It is extremely bumpy, bouncy and you are thrown up and off your seat quite a bit during the half hour drive up and over hills, banks, gullys, etc. Once reaching the penguin colony, there were thousands of penguins literally at your feat. Scenery was very pretty and penguins were entertaining. This was an expensive trip booked through the cruise line.
Overall, the experience and trip was well worth every cent! It was fantastic! A must see! Incredible Celebrity service and overall attentivenss as usual! Enjoy!
Embarking/Disembarkation - Effortless, quick and smooth.
110% Recommend taking this trip! This was Celebrity's second trip to Antarctica we feel did they did an outstanding job!

Hospital recognizes two physicians
Date: November 9, 2009
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
Local pulmonologist and critical care specialist Dr. Kenneth Hurwitz was named Sarasota Memorial Health Care System's "2009 Physician of the Year" at its annual medical staff meeting Oct. 27.
Hurwitz was nominated by 750 practicing physicians and a committee of physician leaders at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, who recognized him for promoting new, life-saving protocols and advanced techniques in the Intensive Care Unit.
Hurwitz, board-certified in pulmonology, critical care and internal medicine, joined the medical staff in 2000 and currently serves as chairman of the hospital's special care committee and critical care intensivist. He manages complex cases of patients in the Intensive Care Unit in addition to patients who seek care for lung conditions at his physician group practice, Lung Associates of Sarasota. Hurwitz serves on the faculty of the Florida State University College of Medicine, where he was a recipient of the college's "outstanding community faculty educator — Sarasota regional campus" for 2008-09.
Medical staff members also bestowed a lifetime achievement award to Dr. Bernard Feinberg for providing outstanding leadership to the hospital and community during his medical career of 30 years.
Feinberg was recognized for the pivotal role he played in developing First Physicians Group — the hospital's network of primary care physicians — to help address a shortage of primary care physicians in Sarasota. In addition to caring for patients at Associates in Internal Medicine and serving as a volunteer physician at the hospital's Community Medical Clinic, Feinberg also served several years as the hospital's chief of medicine and chief of staff.
Feinberg closed his First Physicians Group practice in September but will continue practicing medicine on a part-time basis.
