Van Cliburn remembered as gifted pianist
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Legendary pianist Van Cliburn was remembered Sunday as a gifted musician who transcended the boundaries of politics and art by easing tensions during the Cold War and introducing classical music to millions.
About 1,400 people attended a memorial service for Cliburn, who died Wednesday at 78 after fighting bone cancer. As the service began, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra accompanied a choir while pall bearers carried his flower-covered coffin into a Fort Worth church.
Several speakers referred to what made Cliburn famous: winning the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 1958, when he was just 23. At the height of the Cold War, the win by the pianist who grew up in Texas helped thaw the icy rivalry between the United States and Soviet Union.
"Over the course of many years, during the most difficult historical times, the art of Van Cliburn brought together people from different countries, different continents and united them," Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a statement that was read during the service. "We shall always remember Van Cliburn as a true and sincere friend of the Russian people."
Former President George W. Bush told mourners that Soviets at the competition didn't find the expected stereotypical Texas cowboy but a gracious, humble young man who was "beloved, even by the enemy." Cliburn continued to spread peace and love through his music, Bush said.
"Members of the presidents' club could have taken a lesson from him in diplomacy," said Bush, who presented Cliburn with the Presidential Medal of Freedom- the nation's highest civilian honor- in 2003.
After the Moscow win, Cliburn returned to a hero's welcome and a ticker-tape parade- the first ever for a classical musician. A Time magazine cover proclaimed him "The Texan Who Conquered Russia." Cliburn's popularity soared, and he sold out concerts and caused riots when he was spotted in public.
As a result, Cliburn introduced Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff to a younger generation- those who may never have heard or liked classical music, said Juilliard School President Joseph Polisi.
Cliburn played for every U.S. president since Harry Truman, plus royalty and heads of state worldwide.
"I am confident that the enduring beauty of his art will sustain his legendary status for years to come," President Barack Obama said in a statement that was read during the service.
Cliburn also used his skill and fame to help other young musicians through the Van Cliburn International Music Competition, held every four years. Created in 1962 by a group of Fort Worth teachers and citizens, it remains among the top showcases for the world's best pianists. The next competition, to be held in May and June, is being dedicated to Cliburn's memory.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Cliburn helped keep the state at the center of the arts "and in that way, Van lives on."
Cliburn was born Harvey Lavan Cliburn Jr. on July 12, 1934, in Shreveport, La., the son of oilman Harvey Cliburn Sr. and Rildia Bee O'Bryan Cliburn. At age 3, he began studying piano with his mother, herself an accomplished pianist who had studied with a pupil of the great 19th century Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt.
The family moved back to the east Texas town of Kilgore within a few years of his birth.
Cliburn won his first Texas competition when he was 12, and two years later he played in Carnegie Hall as the winner of the National Music Festival Award. At 17, Cliburn attended the Juilliard School in New York. Between 1952 and 1958, he won all but one competition he entered. By age 20, he had played with the New York Philharmonic and the symphonies of most major cities.
Despite his phenomenal success over five decades, Cliburn remained humble and gracious, friends said.
The Rev. Brent Beasley said Cliburn gave beauty back to God and to the world, "and we are profoundly grateful."

Bionic wrist
Remember we told you Col Birden crashed at the King's Lynn practice? This shot was taken about five mins before he bit the dust. Well, he's just got in touch to say...
Hi Gary&Ben,
I am sat here catchin up on the Sideburn Blog. It's lookin real good guys! I am now home after my little off at the King's Lynn practice.
I was lookin good and feelin good on my new bike I had built ready for this season, to chase after my national number. I had been out going well but unfortunately I broke my golden rule and went 'Too Fast Too Soon'. I went into turn 1 harder & faster than I ever have done and BANG I hit the lock stops got chucked over the side and landed on my head and left wrist badly.
I took a big hit on the head which may have knocked some sense into me, but I doubt it!!!
My wrist is now Bionic, rebuilt with Titanium to make me go faster. God I am going to miss this season, it's going to be the biggest and best ever.
I will be back as I have really got this Flattrackin bug. The bikes,The Racing, The people,The scene, I love it all!
Please can I order Sideburn 3,Yet another Sideburn sticker sheet 1 and if possible 4 of the Red Sideburn logo stickers for my box trailer and bike? If you sort out how much I owe you I will bring the cash to the season opener and place it in Gary's
sweaty mitts.
Thanks to everyone who helped out at the track following my accident and gave my other half Candy loads of help. You know who you all are!
Take care & enjoy the season opener @ King's Lynn. I will to see you all there!

I still meet chiropractors unfamiliar with the work of Michael Gerber. His insights into the small business trinity of entrepreneur, manager and technician should be required reading at every chiropractic college.
So, if you left chiropractic college thinking you just had to be a great diagnostician and proficient adjuster, and a line would form in front of your office, immediately get a copy of The E-myth Revisited at your nearest bookstore! (Or click the link to buy it at Amazon.com) Install systems that will free you. Rise above the temptation of "doing it, doing it, doing it."
If you want to help more people, make a difference and leave a legacy, you must develop your managerial and entrepreneurial muscles. Otherwise, you've sentenced yourself to a job. Maybe a great job, but a job nonetheless.
While you're at it, jettison the myth that great businesspeople aren't great healers. In my travels, I've seen just the opposite.

Got a lathe recently and started experimenting with lidded boxes. So I made my son a small box to hold his silver coins. This is from a piece of mahogany scrap I had lying around. I used a forstner bit to hollow out the box, I think 1-3/8". Also used the forstner bit to create a recess in the lid to snuggly hold a silver eagle for display. The lid fits nice and tight, which was the primary goal of this practice piece. The finish is Cap't Eddie's shine juice (friction polish of equal parts shellac, blo and alcohol).
When I tried making another one as a gift for my father, I discovered that the 1926 silver eagle I used for sizing the recesses in the pictured box isn't as wide as the more recent silver eagles. So this silver eagle box holds my boy's one older silver eagle and some smaller half dollars, but it won't hold newer silver eagles.

Slight frown for using a classic silver coin for the lid but I do like it and glad to see you supporting a child's hobby. I've been wanting to make a chest of trays with dividers for the 2×2 holders but doubt I'll ever really get around to it.

To be clear, the coin is unmarred. It sits in a recess in the lid, held in place by nothing more than the friction of a good fit, and is easily removed.

Very nice and precise Work .

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) aired its traditional "Countdown" preview show for UFC 152: "Jones vs Belfort" on FUEL TV tonight (Sept. 18, 2012), featuring a behind-the-scenes look as current Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones prepares to defend his title once again against former "old school" 205-pound division kingpin Vitor Belfort, this Saturday night (Sept. 22, 2012) at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
To check out immediate reactions to the hour-long special be sure to check out our live UFC 152 "Countdown" discussion thread right here.
Jones was supposed to take on Dan Henderson in the UFC 151 main event weeks earlier; however, an injury to "Hendo" forced him to withdraw with little time to find a replacement. Former two-time number one Middleweight contender Chael Sonnen volunteered his services, but "Bones" refused to accept the bout because it was such short notice and ultimately not in his best interests.
UFC President Dana White made the shocking decision to scrap the entire pay-per-view (PPV) event and push Jones' title defense to the next card, UFC 152. Things only got stranger, however, when 205-pound contenders Lyoto Machida and Mauricio Rua both turned down the opportunity to reclaim their belts.
Enter "The Phenom."
The UFC 152 "Countdown" video for Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort touches on the unique sequence of events that led them to Toronto, as well as their training and preparation for what White has promised to be one helluva' scrap.
In addition, you can view a "Countdown" preview for the co-main event, which will crown the mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion's first-ever Flyweight champion when Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson get after it for five rounds, as well as the potential Middleweight number one contender eliminator match with Michael Bisping and Brian Stann, after the jump.

Michael Bisping vs. Brian Stann
Remember, too, that MMAmania.com will provide LIVE blow-by-blow, round-by-round coverage of UFC 152, beginning with the "Prelims" bouts on Facebook scheduled for around 7 p.m. ET. In addition, we will also provide LIVE, real-time results of the main card action as it happens throughout the evening this upcoming Saturday night.

Major reason why people switch... iTunes.
I recently sat at a table of friends and the three Android users out numbered myself, the lone iPhone user. I asked one of them why he switched from a iPhone 4 to the new Galaxy S3 and besides the main reason being the screen size, he also said he didn't like iTunes – he just liked dragging things onto his device. I asked my friends how they keep their music organized and they said they just drag it into a big music folder and the device reads the metadata. I didn't want to geek out on them so I didn't ask them what happens when the metadata is wrong and how they add cover art, but in my head, iTunes was always pretty straightforward after I got out of my "I hate iTunes" phase.
However, it seems it's an either you "get it" or you don't kind of application and some people just prefer not using an additional program.
Syncing & Files
On another incident, I bumped into a co-worker who has a Galaxy Tab 10.1 on my break and she said she was going to switch from the iPhone to the S3 as well (she didn't really know the name initially, but she said she wanted "that latest one"). I was surprised because she is around middle-age and I always had the impression that in general the older demographic would prefer the simplicity of iOS.
My co-worker also told me how her computer died along with all her songs and how every time she plugs her iPhone into a computer, it asks to erase all her songs. She told me that it seems Android is less "limited" and when I asked her if she meant the fact that you can customize keyboards and widgets, she just said "you can just plug it in an drag files in".
It seems a lot of people are confused about iTunes and why it is needed. For myself, I enjoy using iTunes on my Mac because I like my files organized and it lets me modify and sort by metadata and easily add cover art to my songs; but for others, it just another program (and a slow one I heard, if you use Windows) they have to download and the only way to get music onto your device.
I know my evidence is anecdotal, but I've heard the majority of iDevice users I know have complained at least once about the ability to sync a device to only one computer and not being able to use an iDevice as mass storage. Also, it's pretty shocking that all my Android-using friends mentioned iTunes as one of the things that "limits" an iDevice.
I grew up in the 90's so I was still young when the new iPod came out in 2001. I don't know what the environment was back then, but it seems iTunes was made for another era. Also, maybe the past DRM issues prevented Apple from letting iPods sync with multiple computers. However, in today's age, this doesn't make sense anymore. More and more people are learning to use computers and dragging and dropping is quite basic. I think Apple really needs to let users sync with multiple computers without erasing the entire device (how does that even make sense?) and let iDevices be filled with content by iTunes AND drag and drop.
Anyone else switched from iOS because of iTunes. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Flooding threat to Whitby and South Shields, Environment Agency warns
12:58pm Saturday 4th January 2014 in News By Matt Westcott
THE ENVIRONMENT Agency is warning of potential flooding in areas of the North.
Parts of the North-East coast, including Whitby and South Shields could see flooding.
Currently there are no severe flood warnings in force. However, there are 86 flood warnings and 256 flood alerts across England and Wales.
Further inland heavy rain has left ground saturated, increasing the risk of river and surface water flooding, the Environment Agency said.
The coastal surge in recent days has tested over 3,000km of flood defences in England and over 205,000 properties have been protected.
The Thames barrier was again closed in the early hours of Saturday morning against the high tide, and will continue to close to protect people and property along the Thames.
Jonathan Day, flood risk manager at the Environment Agency, said: "The risk of flooding to the coast will continue over the next few days, especially on the south and west coast and along the Severn estuary.
"In addition, wet conditions have left the ground saturated in many areas, increasing the risk of river and surface water flooding.
"We would urge people to be prepared by checking their flood risk, signing up to free flood warnings and keeping an eye on the latest flood updates via the EA website and Twitter.
"We have protected over 200,000 properties across the country over the past 48 hours, and the Environment Agency will continue to work around the clock to protect communities."

A wonderful, upscale-looking sink. Perfect for our basement bathroom addition at a fraction of the cost of the plumbing stores.
We looked all over for two vessel sinks this size.to create a double vanity from a single. These were perfect and give us maximum counter space. Very good quality at a great price.
I would with out a doubt, get another sink from O.co. This is not my first one and it certainly won't be my last. I have recommended the site to many people. I just wish they would ship faster.
I loved that product. It was exaclty what I was expecting.
This sink is just the right size for a half bath application. It is not installed yet but I know it will look great.

Emilo Gomez USCs #5 player last year wins bay area tournament competing against Stanford, Cal, Pepperdine, USF, Bosie State, UoP, Saint Marys, USD. Gomez along with freshman Jonny Wang and Eric Johnson played in the tournament with all three getting past the first round. Eric lost in the round on 16, with Wang from San Morino losing in the quarter finals to Stanford sophomore Daniel Ho in a tough 3 set match 3-6, 7-6, 7-6. Emilo only lost one set in five matches to the crown and a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Pepperdines Hugh Clark. With ncaa champion Steve Johnson coming back in the spring and Daniel Nguyen ranked in the top 4 along with Ray Sarmiento 15 ranked, USC looks great to win 4th Ncaa team championships in a row.

For those of you who think Rich Hill might still be a viable option for the Cubs pitching staff next year, this report about his last outing (which appears to have been a couple of days ago) is less than encouraging.
I won't post the online translation, because it does, as most online translations do, tend toward the humorous. I will, however, note that Google Translate said that Hill:
has been forgotten by launching the strike zone
... and that seems just about right. If I'm reading this right, he allowed seven runs (five earned) in less than three innings, and threw two wild pitches.
I know there are some native Spanish speakers here -- if one of you could translate that link more accurately, I'd appreciate it.

Hutt Cartel expansion adds well-voiced characters, challenging endgame to troubled Old Republic
Rise of the Hutt Cartel
Star Wars: The Old Republic has had a bumpy road. After a disappointing first few months and a painful transition to free-to-play less than a year later, the game still struggles to be seen as more than EA's answer to World of Warcraft, complete with nine-year old mechanics. Rise of the Hutt Cartel is The Old Republic's first digital expansion, and adds five new levels, a new planet, and myriad other improvements. Is this the content to turn the game around and point it to a positive direction?
Yes, but make sure your expectations are in-line with reality before you get too excited.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
Rise of the Hutt Cartel presents an interesting, if somewhat disconnected, story. Instead of continuing your unique class story, Rise of the Hutt Cartel presents its own self-contained tale, though the Republic and Empire will be drawn to the planet for different reasons.
Empire players will be heading to the planet Makeb to obtain a rare power source they hope to use in the war, while Republic players are there to take the planet from the Hutts and send a message of Republic power to the universe.
I warmed to Makeb quickly. Having the Empire and Republic both focused on the Hutts, albeit for different reasons, gives the story an interesting twist.
It doesn't hurt that Makeb has some of the best voice-acting yet heard in the game. My main two characters are a Light Side Sith Sorcerer and a Dark Side Jedi Guardian, and it felt as though both had gained the character complexity they'd previously lacked. The writing itself is still very melodramatic, keeping in line with the space opera feel of the game, but each actor does more with what they're given.
There's also a new villain who calls himself The Shroud; he's a terrorist, more or less, who topples planetary governments just because it's challenging. He comes across like some wonderful Star Wars version of Tyler Durden.
The nice thing is, unlike most of the planets in vanilla SWTOR, Makeb feels like a singular, cohesive experience. Where other planets could feel clogged with disconnected side quests that had little to no impact on what you were actually there to do, Makeb's storyline moves players along from one area to the next at a nice pace, and side quests are minimal.
Unfortunately, that means that the same-sex romance options that caused such a fuss in January are also minimized. None of these NPCs really stand out, though at least they're not reduced to anything stereotypical. These are people you'd flirt with at a bar, but no one you'd take home to mom.
You will never find a more wretched hive
The Old Republic's combat remains much the same as it ever was, but each class has a new skill, and none of them feel wasted. My Sorcerer got a small Force field that granted her total invincibility for a short amount of time, while my Guardian was able to reflect all incoming damage back at the enemies. Interestingly, the new skill trees fill out the middle range of abilities, instead of simply adding another tier.
There's also a new operation, Scum and Villainy. This endgame raid is constructed a bit differently from most, as there are no trash mobs at the beginning; you simply jump right into the first boss fight and go from there. This initial boss fight is no picnic, either: you'll have to swap tanks when the creature uses a stun attack, and throughout the encounter you'll need to shield yourself against a raging sandstorm.
The raid culminates in a fight against a Dreadmaster, which is basically Star Wars-ese for "holy hell this guy will mess up your shit." The boss will target one raid member at random and teleport them away from the group, where they have to go mano e mano against one of the Dreadmaster's minions. While this is happening, the Dreadmaster summons copies of himself, some of which are made of lightning, and these nasty apparitions can one-shot kill a party member.
In short, the operation is challenging, which is exactly what you want from endgame PvE content. If you don't want to be stuck grinding it though, the game's earlier dungeons have been given a hard mode to challenge max-level players.
If combat's not your thing, there's also the Seeker Droid and Macrobinoculars, which will take you to new areas of previously-explored planets. Often, the missions given by these gadgets lead to some really fun environmental puzzles where you'll have to flip switches, avoid lasers, and so on. Remember that villain I mentioned, The Shroud? You'll need the Macrobinoculars to track him down, and it feels like chasing a fugitive across the stars.
While these quests are fun in their own right, the nice part is that, since you're visiting planets you've previously completed, Rise of the Hutt Cartel manages to avoid the ghost town feel of many other MMORPGs, where the population completely abandons lower-level areas to focus on the newest content.
A new hope
Rise of the Hutt Cartel isn't exactly bursting at the seams with content. The $10 price for subscribers and $20 for non-subscribers make this feel like a map pack, and that's basically what you're getting: one new map, with the standard Old Republic experience spread throughout it. There's nothing wrong with that, it's still plenty fun to don the Jedi or Sith robes once again and get lost in the engaging story.
That being said, players should manage their expectations. Five new levels in Rise of the Hutt Cartel doesn't feel as significant as five new levels in World of Warcraft – you only have the one new planet, and peripheral features are almost nonexistent. There's nothing added for your companion, the same-gender romances feel extremely shallow and limited, and the game still lacks additions like a barber shop and playable Cathar, two features which have been heavily-requested.
Rise of the Hutt Cartel doesn't fix all of The Old Republic's problems. It's still WoW in space, it's still cooldown-based, hotbar rotation combat, and the game's free-to-play conversion still feels like it hobbles the experience. Still, if you're still invested in the game, this is a solid way to blow some cash and a few hours.

Some might think that we already know pretty much all there is to know about the past, especially the history of this country. Assistant Professor of Anthropology Dr. Kelly Jenks, however, always felt that there was more to history than what she was taught growing up. From an early age, the 2014-15 Fort Lewis College New Faculty Teaching Award winner felt the need to study the past, particularly that of the Southwest, in order to help others learn about their heritage and gain a new and deeper perspective on the world.
Teacher Education students, all majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies – Teacher Education option, cross the finish line of graduation together: Vivienne Yeagy, Julie Wells, Crissy Thurston, Josie Snow, Kathy Smith, Samantha Siedler.
Students in the 2013 Fort Lewis College Archaeological Field School didn't have to travel far to make discoveries about the Four Corners region's rich cultural history. In fact, they could see their area of exploration from campus. Fourteen students spent five weeks on the shore of Durango's Lake Nighthorse, only two miles from the FLC campus, learning about archaeological field methods and gaining practical experience in cultural resource management (CRM) – the management of cultural resources in compliance with federal, state, and local laws.
Current can be a good thing – especially when you're traveling more than 400 miles and descending some 10,000 feet down your favorite rivers.
That's the journey documented in The Current, a feature-length film shot and produced by two FLC students who wanted to find out what rivers mean to them, while at the same time seeing for themselves the condition of two of their favorite rivers – the Animas River, which flows past Fort Lewis College, and the San Juan River downstream of its confluence with the Animas.
Why study about the cruise industry in a land-locked classroom when you can experience it at sea on board a cruise ship?
Why try to learn about French language and culture in Colorado when you can immerse yourself in both in France?
Why dream about someday helping people in need when you can make real change right now in Africa?

In the beginning, the Old Elm Tree stands at Horton Landing as a sentinel watching over the tides...
A beautiful place for an outing!

2009 - The Sentinel till standing!
Then comes the great storm of 2010... the Sentinel falls!
In the night of November 5th - 6th, 2010, the Old Elm Tree succombs in the wake of a powerful storm.
The Old Elm Tree lives on!
The week after the storm, Monette Léger, an Acadian artist and sculptor from Shediac, New-Brunswick, well-known for her numerous tree sculptures in and around her hometown, is moved by the loss of this great landmark that stood as a companion next to the Deportation Cross at Horton Landing, and comes up with an idea! She calls Victor Tétrault, Executive director of Société Promotion Grand-Pré, and asks if she could have a piece of the tree. In the course of their conversation they come up with another idea to expand the project to include two other sculptors: a sculptor from the First Nations, and a descendant of the New England Planters.
Victor asks the head of Maintenance at Grand-Pré National Historic Site, Wayne Kelley, if he and his staff could go to Horton Landing to collect pieces of the tree before the snow sets in for the winter.
November 2010 - The maintenance crew from Grand-Pré National Historic Site examine the fallen tree at Horton Landing.
Pieces recovered from the fallen Elm Tree are brought to Grand-Pré National Historic Site.
In the weeks that follow, an invitation goes out to Gerald Gloade, a Mi'kmaq history Interpretor and Artist with the Millbrook First Nation community located adjacent to the Town of Truro, and to Doug Morse from the community of New England Planters living in the Grand Pré area. Since 1984 Doug has carved signage of all shapes and sizes for residential, commercial, and nautical applications, as well as family crests. During this time, he broadened his scope to include antique repairs and reproduction furniture. Gerald and Doug both eagerly accept the invitation to participate in this unique project.

The artists agree on a design...
In the months that follow, Monette provides an initial drawing. The project evolves when the three artists meet at Grand-Pré in April 2011 to decide the next steps together.

By a remarkable and completely unexpected coincidence, the Landscape of Grand Pré became a World Heritage Site on Saturday, June 30, 2012, and the first public unveiling of the assembled sculpture was held the following day, on Canada Day, July 1.
The completed sculpture was installed on a pedestal in the main hall at Grand-Pré National Historic Site

You could call a meeting of seniors today, a round table of experience whose members, like much of America are reeling from the three week government shut down, just over yesterday.
"I am absolutely disgusted," said on senior citizen. "They're like little children who can't come down with any reasonable solution."
These are people who spent their entire lives working with a budget and they wonder why Congress has trouble doing the same.
"They are not paying attention to what their constituents want," added another angry senior.
It was nine people with an average age of 88 -- that's a combined 792 years worth of experience, which should stand for something.
And they also spent much of their lives working with people they don't necessarily get along with.
Regardless of party affiliation, the seniors have strong opinions about who was hurt most by the government shut down.
"Probably the people who have nothing. It's hurting all the American people," added a senior citizen.

MLB.tv Questions
Sorry if this is a bit of an annoying Fan Shot. Thinking of getting the MLB.tv package, as I'll likely be moving mid-summer and don't want to pay for the cable package and then lose it once I move. But $100 or $120 seems like a lot to spend on on-line streaming; who has it? Any complaints about the service? How was the quality of the video? I have a pretty good internet connection, for the most part. I'm thinking that if it's worth $100, then it's probably worth the extra $20 to get Tribe announcers for all games (in honesty, I'd probably pay that just to ensure that I don't have to listen to Hawk 9 times a year or whatever. Anyways, basically just looking for comments on it before I shell out the cash, see if there's any major complaints that might make me think twice.

A 19-year-old construction worker has life-threatening injuries after falling about 40 feet from a bridge on I-90 over the Mississippi River on Wednesday morning.
The Ames construction worker fell from the Dresbach Bridge around 9 a.m. into a coffer dam -- a large metal structure built to support a construction project. He was trapped in a confined space until crews were able transport him in a boat that entered from the Minnesota side of the river and bring him ashore. He was then brought to a hospital in La Crosse, Wis. but the magnitude of his injuries is unknown.
"Right now our immediate concern is the health and welfare of the injured worker. Work on Pier 2 has temporarily stopped while the incident is being investigated, but work on the rest of the project is continuing. There is no impact to traffic on the construction site," said Mark Anderson, MnDOT project manager. "This was the first lost-time incident on the project."
The Dresbach Bridge project began construction late last year and is expected to last until 2016. The new crossing will have two separate bridges parallel and upstream from the existing bridge. Two 12-foot lanes will be added in each direction, an eastbound acceleration lane, wider shoulders and a path that allows bikers to avoid crossing the highway.

Has there been any indication yet from the recruits about whether they intend to request releases from their LOIs now that Turgeon is confirmed?
I figured this would be the next hot topic, but haven't seen or heard anything. Will they wait to meet with Turgeon before deciding?
(Turgeon, by the way, is such a terrible name...like sturgeon...or Turduckin, my favorite southern dish...I sure hope he wins enough that we start calling him Mark).

It's about Bushido, "The Way of the Warrior." This was the samurai's code. Their tenet. Their way. And this strong belief system coupled with an amazing set of fighting skills is what causes many to hold them in reverence even today.
Starting From the Beginning: The History of the Samurai
Good coaches don't stand pat when their team gets destroyed in a game; they make changes. Such was the case with the Japanese following a rather disastrous war with Tang China and Silla. In 646 A.D. by way of the Taka Reform, Prince Naka no Oe (Emperor Tenji) introduced Japanese society to aristocracy via higher taxes that left some wanting and some basking in riches as landowners. Later, the Taiho Code (702 A.D.) introduced the military draft, which helped Japan to grow an organized army, similar to the Chinese that had given them so many problems earlier in their history. The Taiho Code also classified imperial bureaucrats into 12 ranks. Initially, the term samurai was used to refer to those of 6th rank or below (public servants). As farmers continued to sell their land and a class system continued to grow, however, those with significant riches and land began to require people to protect their interests, which eventually led to the more modern samurai class.
Heian Period and the Shogun
Emperor Kammu hoped to expand his rule in northern Honshu during the 8th and 9th centuries (the Heian period), but his armies failed in their attempt to conquer the Emishi people. Thus, he turned to regional clans that had sprung up to conquer the Emishi, eventually naming their leaders Seiitaishogun or shogun. Kammu began to rely on the skill of these clans too much, and this led to the disbanding of the Imperial army. By 1100, such moves allowed powerful clans and their shoguns to assume effective control of Japan in both a military and political sense.
The Rise of the Kamakura
Though the Emperor within Japanese society had already effectively lost much of his control, Emperor Toba died in 1156 without an obvious successor. This led to a civil war amongst his sons known as the Hogen Rebellion. While this went on, the Minamoto and Taira clans battled one another for superiority. The Taira won, thus becoming the first samurai government or shogunate. This shogunate relegated the emperor to a mere figurehead even more so than he had already been. However, the Taira and Minamoto clans would once again come to blows in the Genpei War (1180-1185), this time with Minamoto claiming victory. Soon after, Minamoto no Yoritomo formed the Kamakura Shogunate, which ruled Japan until 1333. However, they were forced to fight off two successive Mongol attacks. Though both defenses were successful with help from nature (typhoons), the fighting took its toll.
Bushido and The Way of the Warrior
The foundations of the ethical code of Bushido began to take hold during the Heian period with the samurai. "The Way of the Warrior" or Bushido emphasized duty to one's master (in this case, usually a shogun) and loyalty until death. Buddhist and Zen principles likely contributed to the tenets of this via a belief in reincarnation. Along with this, samurai warriors believed that it was highly honorable to commit suicide or seppuka via disembowlment with a small sword after being defeated in battle (or upon dishonor). They would fight fearlessly for their masters and would rather die honorably either through seppuka or in battle than surrender in defeat.
Further, it was actually deemed legally appropriate for a samurai to cut down any common person that failed to honor him (or her) in appropriate fashion.
In other words, honor and integrity was everything to them.
Samurai in Battle
Previous to the Mongol invasion, the samurai were expert archers that often fought from horseback. Afterwards, however, they began to utilize full body armour in battle, usually including a horned helmet, as well as swords, poles tipped with blades, and spears. Along with this, during the 14th century a blacksmith named Masamune utilized a two-layer structure of soft and hard steel with swords, which led to improved cutting power and durability, eventually resulting in the Japanese katana. The katana became a part of the samurai daisho, which means "long and short". The katana was the long part of the equation, utilized for slashing, while the shorter part was the wakizashi, which was more useful as a stabbing tool. Eventually, the daisho became so synonymous with the samurai that non-samurai were literally forbidden to wear it (16th century).

Emperor Go-Daigo twice attempted to take advantage of the weakened Kamakura following the Mongol invasions. His first attempt to seize control via armed forces failed. His second produced fruit in 1333. However, in 1336 the Ashikaga Shogunate under Ashikaga Takauji took control, once again establishing samurai rule.
Rise of the Daimyo
During the Ashikago Period, daimyos or regional constables began to assert a level of authority due to the weakened state of the shogun. In fact, by 1460 some daimyos began to ignore orders from their shoguns entirely. When Ashikago Yoshimasa resigned in 1464, fighting amongst possible successors and daimyo led to the Onin War. This war went on for 10 years and led to the "Warring States Period" or Sengoku.

Tampa Police say a home invasion robbery suspect is in critical condition after his victims fought back. It happened at a home on North 10th Street just before midnight on Thursday.
Tampa Police say two men live in that apartment. One of them was sleeping on the couch when he heard a knock on the door. He opened it because he thought it was his roommate. Instead, it was a stranger with a gun.
Police say the two men struggled and the suspect managed to push his way into the back bedroom where the other roommate, Clifford Gray, was sleeping.
Gray told News Channel 8 he woke up to a gun pointed in his face. The three men started struggling. Gray ran and got a machete. He said he hit the intruder with it several times and accidentally hit his roommate once in the leg.
During the struggle, police say one of the roommates grabbed the attacker's gun and shot him.
The injured roommate is being treated for non-life threatening injuries. Police say the intruder was critically wounded by the gun and machete. He's being treated at a local hospital.
Tampa Police say, at this point in their investigation, it appears the victims were randomly targeted by the attacker.

Smith to get start in left in Rockies' opener
Tracy opts for left-handed hitter over Fowler in No. 2 spot
MILWAUKEE -- Rockies manager Jim Tracy will start left-handed-hitting Seth Smith in the No. 2 spot in the lineup, instead of switch-hitting center fielder Dexter Fowler, in Monday afternoon's opener against the Brewers.
As will be the case when Smith starts this season, he will play left field and leadoff man Carlos Gonzalez will move from left to center.
The Rockies are facing the Brewers' young standout right-hander Yovani Gallardo. Tracy felt Smith, who hit .293 with 15 home runs and 55 RBIs as a part-time starter and .300 with 12 of the homers against right-handed pitchers last season, was a better option than Fowler.
"The way we are set up, first several days with a right-hander tomorrow, I am going to start Seth Smith," Tracy told reporters Sunday before the team's workout at Miller Park. "Dexter, left-handed, is still working some things out. I am planning that Dexter will play Tuesday."
Smith hit .352 with one home run and 12 RBIs this spring. Fowler, who hit .266 and led the team with 27 steals last season, showed forward strides early in the spring but finished hitting .229 with two RBIs.
It's a continuation of Tracy's strategy last year of dividing his outfielders based on matchups, or who is hot at the time. He'll have to do that with five outfielders this year, with 2009 All-Star right fielder Brad Hawpe and Ryan Spilborghs, the team's only right-handed-hitting outfielder, in the mix.
Smith, 27, made his first career Opening Day start last year and homered off the D-backs' Scott Schoeneweis to tie the game in the seventh inning. The Rockies lost, 9-8.
Here is the lineup that Tracy announced for Monday's opener:
1. Carlos Gonzalez, CF
2. Seth Smith, LF
3. Todd Helton, 1B
4. Troy Tulowitzki, SS
5. Brad Hawpe, RF
6. Chris Iannetta, C
7. Ian Stewart, 3B
8. Clint Barmes, 2B
9. Ubaldo Jimenez, RHP

Denver City is still waiting for a verdict in a criminally negligent homicide trial. A jury is deciding whether a truck driver is to blame for the deaths of three Denver City Teachers, but it appears the earliest we could see a verdict is Thursday.
After almost 4 1/2 hours of deliberation, the jury went home without a verdict. The seven men and five women will determine if 50-year-old Guadalupe Soto Medina is guilty of criminally negligent homicide.
DPS says Medina ran a stop sigh in Yoakum County in December 2004. His tractor trailer slammed into a Denver City ISD van, instantly killing the three elementary school teacher's inside.
They were: 37-year-old Marina Natividad, 47-year-old Rosie Garza and 29-year-old Veronica Flores.
If convicted, Medina faces up to 30 years in prison and up to $30,000 in fines. We spoke with Natividad's brother who said no amount of jail time can changed what happened. "The reality is, it's not going to bring my sister of the other two victims back," Christopher Granado said.
He added that he just wants Median to admit he was at fault. "From what I hear he doesn't want to admit that - that he's not admitting to that and that's what really hurts," Granado said.
The jury will return at 9 a.m. Thursday.
Since the fatal wreck, a "stop ahead" warning as been placed at the intersection.

So, today the madness begins. I have made the bracket based off of the poll from yesterday, and I ended up with 32 "teams". Here is a link so you can see the bracket: OCTOBER MADNESS (you'll have to drag over to see all of the teams). We will now look at our first matchup: (1) Sutton Death vs. (8) Red Light District.
Sutton Death
I think Sutton Death is the heavy favorite in this matchup, as any 1 seed should be. This is a very popular team with a ton of good things going for it. For one, it incorporates the use of the Chiefs' Defensive Coordinator, Bob Sutton, in a very clever way, and I have to say that it fits in with their gameplan quite nicely. They do consistently and successfully execute the end goal of that strategy, which is to sound like "Sudden Death" when verbalized. This consistency is really what this team is built on. Not only are they consistent with their gameplan, but on a bigger scale, their coach, MrAustin.Sr, has been with this team since their inception. Now some things that could cause this team to get upset are, and I have to be nittpicky with such a well-built team, but the fact that not many outside of Chiefs fans will understand them! I mean, if Steel Curtain had employed this strategy, I'm not completely sure they would be such a universally known team. Now, let's move on to the analysis of the underdog, "The Red Light District".
The Red Light District
While not likely, I could see an upset in the making here. This team does have a few things going for it, such as the fact that it incorporates a place in KC that every resident knows of, the Power & Light District. Red-light district is also defined as "a part of an urban area where there is a concentration of prostitution and sex-oriented businesses, such as sex shops, strip clubs, adult theaters, etc.", so this team appears to use the strategy of distracting the other team. However, they may get beat by their own strategy after Sutton Death and co. are quite possibly relaxed by The Red Light District's strategy, rather than distracted by it. Personally, I don't see them pulling this one out.
The Verdict
Well, game time has rolled around and it looks like it's time for the tipoff. Let the games begin!

Squat jumps should be done in sets, maintaining speed of movement and form. Repetitions should start at a number that is easy to remember like five or ten and always increase when it becomes easy. Stop if you get to rep eight or nine and you're not even getting off the floor anymore.
Again, remember the overload principle. Once you get to that point that you're not leaving the floor, you have accomplished overload. Going further isn't worth the effort. Stop, rest for 30 seconds or so, and then go again. You may not be able to get to the same number of reps in set two or three but you will overload the muscles if done properly.

Spring Bouquets
Here are some really nice ideas to add some flowers to your home for spring. I've been planning a spring brunch and looking around for flower ideas and came across these - aren't they nice? I would love to have one of each. These are so great because you can buy the flowers and do the arrangements yourself - it's more fun that way and less expensive too!
Here is a quick idea, that wouldn't be much work, a nice lemonade boquet. I love the purples and pinks contrasting with the yellow - but you know I think a monochrome arrangement in this pitcher would look lovely too.
Here's another cute idea - use your colander and make a great arrangement for your kitchen table. Wouldn't it be fun to make and admire over coffee with your friends? Everytime you walk by it, it's going to perk you up! Aren't the artichokes a clever idea? You could use green apples instead of the artichokes and that would look adorable too!
Just look around your house, you've probably got several containers setting around that would look fabulous with a flower arrangement in it. Here are a couple of nice ideas - hey an orange peel is even a great recycling idea! You don't have to clean anything - just toss it all into the compost when it wilts!
Last, here's a really cute Easter arrangement. I just love the colored eggs in the vase - this makes me so happy!

To the Editor:
"Allentown arena developers score restaurant from city": This March 9 headline is thought-provoking in the least, and outrageous at the most. As an Allentown property owner, apartment and business operator, I, too, make considerable private investment in Allentown. Whereas the gentlemen involved in the sports arena are given a "gift" of a prime real estate property worth at least $150,000, I get the Landlord Licensing Bill, or more accurately stated, the Landlord Tax Bill. This, in addition to business privilege tax bills, city real estate tax bills, city school tax bills, water and sewer bills, and a $35 city business license fee. It appears to me that something is amiss here. How is it that the city needs to fund the building inspection process out of my pocket, while giving away $150,000 to The Arena Syndicate?

Ex-gang member continues his story
- Written by Bobbi Booker
- Published in Lifestyles
Hundreds of thousands of readers came to know Luis J. Rodriguez through his fearless classic, "Always Running," which chronicled his early life as a young Chicano gang member surviving the dangerous streets of East Los Angeles. With over 400,000 in print since 1995, "Always Running" is now widely regarded as a classic of Chicano literature and remains timely and at once vivid, raw and powerful. The long awaited follow-up, "It Calls You Back: An Odyssey Through Love, Addiction, Revolutions, and Healing (Touchstone, $24.99)," is the equally harrowing story of Rodriguez starting over, at age 18, after leaving gang life — the only life he really knew.
"It Calls You Back" opens with Rodriguez's final stint in jail as a teenager and follows his struggle to kick heroin, renounce his former life and search for meaningful work. He describes with heartbreaking honesty his challenges as a father and his difficulty leaving his rages and addictions completely behind. Even as he breaks with "la vida loca" and begins to discover success as a writer and an activist, Rodriguez finds that his past — the crimes, the drugs, the things he'd seen and done — has a way of calling him back. When his oldest son is sent to prison for attempted murder, Rodriguez is forced to confront his shortcomings as a father and to acknowledge how and why his own history is repeating itself, right before his eyes.
"Any unique, compelling, powerful story is worthwhile," said Rodriguez. "Humans and communities are wellsprings of stories. The earth itself holds stories in its rocks, bushes, trees, and even earthquakes and fires. Memoir has the quality that the story — even if some of the facts are changed — is not made up. But memoir is also based on, more or less, re-imagining of what happened. People who expect memoir to be a fully accurate account of one's life will be disappointed. But truth is paramount, even if names, details, circumstances aren't exactly as they may have been due to the filtering process — or even just to protect people. But the prism of memory can also congeal, crystallize and make succinct what is otherwise complex and confusing. Also, reflecting on the qualities and features of your life can draw out lessons that can resonate with others. One's story has been described as having been written before one is born — the key is to live it out. Writing this story should not replace having a full, conscious and active existence."

Once again, the blogmeisters have given me the thankless task of coming up with a number (this time, eight) of things to pique your interest, vis-à-vis guns and shooting.
Here we are going to talk about some factors that had major influences in the field. Of course, there about ten gazillion things that could be considered, so please feel free to step in with your thoughts. Here are mine. Please excuse if some are painted with rather broad strokes, but we only have so much space and individual books can — and have been — written on them all.
Without gunpowder, of course, there would have been no guns -- unless you consider airguns, which certainly came on the scene early, but did have their limitations. Anyway, from the early serpentine to corned powders, through the various smokeless types, this is certainly the single most important development in firearms.

Many divers confuse Yellow Goatfish (Mulloidichthys martinicus) and Yellowtail Snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus) because of their similar coloration and the fact that they may school together in large groups on shallow reefs.
Goatfish, including the Yellow Goatfish, have whiskers or barbels underneath their chins. These are fleshy appendages which they use to hunt for food hidden in the sand. In addition to the Yellow Goatfish, divers may also see Spotted Goatfish (Psuedoupeneus maculatus) which has similar barbels and is either white with three dark spots across its sides or a marbled pinkish/red color.
Yellowtail Snapper, like Yellow Goatfish, may also be seen hovering in schools over the reef. They sometimes form mixed schools with the Yellow Goatfish. While similar in appearance to the Yellow Gaotfish, Yellowtail Snapper do not have the barbels characteristic of goatfish.
