The promotion recently confirmed the addition of Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Jason Brilz to its April 30 "St. Pierre vs. Shields" pay-per-view (PPV) fight card at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada.
Matyushenko came back from a whooping against Jon Jones to finish Alexandre Ferreira at UFC 122 in Germany last November. His Deutschland bout was originally booked opposite Brilz; however, "The Hitman" was taken out by an injury and forced to withdraw.
Now they have a chance to pick up where they left off when the UFC heads north of the border.
The rough-and-tumble Nebraskan is no stranger to last-minute phone calls. After an injury to Forrest Griffin left Antonio Rogerio Nogueira without a date for UFC 114: "Rampage vs. Evans" in May 2010, Joe Silva yanked Brilz of his couch in Omaha to step in and battle the wily Brazilian.
He may have lost the decision, but he won the fans with a performance that many pundits felt was good enough to get the win and put the brakes on the Nogueira hype train.
Now Brilz gets another chance to prove (or perhaps reaffirm) he belongs among the best in the light heavyweight division -- but is he biting off more than he can chew?
UFC 129 is set to feature a main event between Canada's own Georges St. Pierre, defending his welterweight title against fresh challenger -- and former Elite XC and Strikeforce champion -- Jake Shields.
The event is also expected to include "Father Time" Randy Couture, defying the odds once again to take on Karate master Lyoto Machida.

The fight to save Cambridge's Arts Picturehouse has been taken to the House of Commons.
Julian Huppert raised the issue today with Leader of the House Andrew Lansley, who agreed the Competition Commission should not intervene in the ownership of the cinema.
The exchange came just hours after 150 protesters gathered outside the St Andrew's Street attraction in opposition to Cineworld being forced to sell either its self-branded cinema at Cambridge Leisure Park or the Picturehouse.
Cineworld took over the Picturehouse earlier this year but the commission said it could not own two cinemas in the city.
Speaking in the Commons, Mr Lansley said he did not think "for one minute" that the Picturehouse, which shows foreign and arthouse films, was in the same market as Cambridge's multiplexes.
He said: "The Competition Commission's job is to identify markets and act to restrict monopoly in the markets it identifies. I do not think this is the same market."
Dr Huppert complained the commission had not acted on the dominance enjoyed by bus operator Stagecoach or supermarket Tesco in the city but was targeting the Picturehouse when thousands of people had signed a petition over the issue.
Mr Lansley, who represents South Cambridgeshire, agreed.
He said: "Speaking purely personally and not for the Government, I share with him his view there is no case for the Competition Commission to seek to intervene in the ownership of the Arts Picturehouse."
Speaking afterwards, Dr Huppert said he hoped the commission would now "think again"
But the commission has said it was "confident" a buyer could be found and does not think the future of any cinemas will be "jeopardised".

Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Treat Pops
19 Dec 2011
Cake pops are all the rage these days, probably because they're so adorable. So for the holidays I've created Crispy Treat Pops using Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice – Gluten Free Cereal for those who are gluten free and can't have regular cake pops.
These are easy enough to make with the kids, to get them involved in making gifts for grandma or their teacher.
Cooking Challenges Recipe Contest
Speaking of homemade gifts and treats, have you entered Attune Foods' Cooking Challenges Recipe Contest? This month, they're looking for original homemade gift recipes. You must use one of the following Attune Foods products:
- Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice – GF
- Erewhon Strawberry Crispy
- Erewhon Raisin Bran
- Skinner's Raisin Bran
- Uncle Sam Original
- Uncle Sam Strawberry
The lucky winner will get a $200 grocery store gift card, their recipe printed on Attune Foods packaging, and most importantly, $200 donated on their behalf to Share Our Strength, dedicated to ending childhood hunger in the U.S.
Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Treat Pops
- Cooking spray
- 7 cups Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice cereal
- 1/4 cup butter
- 6 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 24-ounce package almond bark
- Decorating items: sprinkles, shredded coconut, nonpareils, jimmies,
mini chocolate chips, etc. – enough to decorate 24 pops
- 24 lollipop sticks
Lightly coat a large bowl with cooking spray.
Pour Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice cereal into the bowl and set aside.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the mini marshmallows and continue to cook until they're melted. Make sure to stir often so the marshmallows and butter don't burn.
Remove from heat and pour marshmallow mixture on top of the Erewhon cereal. Stir to combine. (If needed, use your hands to gently combine the mixture. Make sure to coat your hands with cooking spray first.)
Coat your hands with cooking spray so the treats don't stick to your hands. Form the cereal and marshmallow mixture into 24 (2-inch) balls. Put aside for 30 minutes until the balls harden. (You can put the balls in the freezer for 15 minutes to speed up the process.)
Melt the almond bark according to package directions.
Dip treat balls into the almond bark to coat completely. Shake off excess.
Roll ball in sprinkles, shredded coconut, etc. before almond bark hardens.
Place coated and decorated balls on a wax paper or silicone baking mat. Let almond bark harden.
Remove extra bark and decorations from the bottom of your ball. (The side that was on the mat or waxed paper.)
Gently stick the lollipop stick into the bottom of your ball being careful not to push it all the way through. (Using a twisting motion helps.)
Gifting ideas:
- Place a few pops in a clear cellophane treat bag and tie with a pretty ribbon.
- Put your Erewhon Brown Rice Crispy Treat Pops in a tall mug or glass filled with coffee beans. (You can trim the lollipop sticks to fit your container.)

Shamrock Drops
These fun cookies are a version of my grandmother's. They originally call for shortening, but in the face of all that is known about trans fats these days, I opted for butter this time. We usually make these cookies pink. These are the best go-with for ice cream and I think chocolate chip mint or pistachio would be great for St. Pat's.
Hands-On Time: 15 minutes
Ready In: 40 minutes, including cooling time
Yield: 2 dozen cookies
1 c butter-softened
2 c flour
6 T sugar
1/4 c milk
1 oz confetti candy (multi-colored non-pareils)
1 t vanilla or almond extract or 1/4 t mint extract
1/4 t salt
green food coloring
powdered sugar
- Mix butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Blend flour and salt and add alternately to butter mixture with milk and extract (add food coloring to milk so it gets into dough evenly).
- Add in confetti and mix well. Dough will be stiff.
- Roll into 1" balls and flatten slightly.
- Bake on greased cookie sheets at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Do not let them brown.
- Cool and roll in powdered sugar.

Former Strikeforce women's 135-pound champion Marloes Coenen is in the main event of the first Invicta FC card this weekend (BE will have live coverage), and she's doing the media rounds to promote the card. In an interview with Mauro Ranallo on The MMA Hour, she was asked about UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem and his recent suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. And she didn't hold back at all when talking about the former Golden Glory fighter (transcript via MMA Weekly):
"When Alistair got the deal (with the UFC), he abandoned (Golden Glory)," declared Coenen. "He said he wants to surround himself with smart people, but you know what happened yesterday (the NSAC suspension), I don't know how smart those people are. He said a lot of lies and it was really hurtful for me because I know what happened.
"And it makes me look bad because I'm with (Golden Glory). He said they weren't a good management team, but I know what they did for him. When he lost five fights in a row a long while ago, Martijn de Jong stuck with him and believed in him, and the same goes with the management."
The rest of her statement is after the jump, and she even makes reference to a court case Overeem had to deal with in the Netherlands.
"When Alistair had a big fight in the Netherlands because he didn't want to pay 50 cents to the woman that sits at the toilet, it was the Golden Glory team that kept him out of jail. I know so many things they did for him, so when he calls them criminals, it's not true.
"I'm with Golden Glory; so when he calls them bad he indirectly talks bad about me. It makes me look like a person who can't make good decisions.
"If he wants to leave the team, I'm fine with that, he's a grown man and can make his own decisions. But don't stab them in the back and make them look bad when they've worked so hard for you."
Coenen (19-5) meets French fighter Romy Ruyssen (5-1) in the Invicta FC 1 main event. The whole card will be streamed live for free on Invicta's website.

SALISBURY, Md. - Sad news, Eastern Shore legend Pete Cooper has passed away.
Pete served as Salisbury's Public Works Director for 28 years, and also played a vital role in the construction of several bridges across Delmarva. Those projects included the Route 50 bridge into Ocean city, the Riverwalk, and planting new trees on Eastern Shore Drive which was dedicated in his name.
"He donated all those trees to the city. We planted those a couple years ago and just working with him through that project, is probably a memory that will stick with me," said a long-time friend, John Pick.
Hugh Livingston released this statement on behalf of the Salisbury Rotary Club: "He contributed in so many ways as a public servant... Pete Cooper was first and foremost a gentleman, and equally as humble, right to the very end of his amazing life. The Rotary Club of Salisbury will miss our friend and member."
Pete was 102 years old. No word yet on a time or date for his funeral, but we'll keep you posted with those details as soon as they're available.

With the 2014 season in full-force, Tee Times USA is providing full-coverage of the PGA TOUR & Champions Tour, which will be distributed to golf fans all over the world through blog posts, social channels & media outlets.
Each tournament week, golfers and fans will have access to a pre-tournament preview for the PGA TOUR on Wednesdays, a post-tournament recap on Sunday evenings, and at least one other bonus blog focusing on relevant news associated with the PGA TOUR. Bonus blogs will include insight into star golfers such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott, Matt Kuchar, Keegan Bradley, Zach Johnson, Ernie Els, and more.
The Champions Tour, will showcase a tournament preview on Thursdays and a Sunday recap as well, providing keen insight on the legends of the game. A third blog each week will be a wild-card Champions Tour topic that covers a wide array of stories, for example Champions Tour players who split their time between the PGA TOUR and The Champions Tour such as Fred Couples, Vijay Singh, Tom Pernice Jr, Fred Funk, Greg Norman, Tom Lehman, and Tom Watson.
In addition, Tee Times USA will post a special Masters Tournament Blog which will include a Wednesday, Par 3 tournament summary, focusing on the big 3 in golf, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. Wednesday of Masters week is the only annually day viewers and fans can see the Big 3 live on television come together. Always one of the most special days of the year, The Par 3 Tournament is when many of the games greats come out to play this unique event.
Tee Times USA will provide a mix of golf coverage, timely news and analysis. Stories and posts will also include a variety of topics ranging from the incredible mental challenges associated with the constant golf travel and the personal trials and tribulations golfers face while living the tour life.
The blogs will highlight and analyze many of the top-courses played on both tours with particular attention to Florida golf courses which host 4 PGA TOUR events annually and always highlight some of the best golf getaways on tour. Tee Times USA is well positioned to provide particular insight into these courses as Floridas Golf Vacations Specialist for over 23 years. The current PGA TOUR courses to host events in Florida are Trump Doral, PGA National, TPC Sawgrass and Bay Hill. Interestingly, Tee Times USA recently posted a blog on Tiger Woods, who at the beginning of his career in the fall of 1996, garnered his second PGA Tour event at Walt DisneyWorld, where he beat a stellar field playing the three Disney courses, Disneys Magnolia Golf Course, Disneys Palm Golf Course, and Disneys Lake Buena Vista Golf Course. The Tiger Woods blog boldly predicts Tiger will win at least two Major Championships in 2014.
This week Tee Times USA posted blogs that feature tournament previews of Riviera Country Club in California hosting the Northern Trust Open and Twin Eagles in Naples, Florida, home of some terrific golf getaways. Tournament favorites for these two-events are Jimmy Walker continuing his hot streak and possibly winning back-to-back events on the PGA TOUR and defending champion Bernhard Langer as the heavy favorite at Twin Eagles on the Champions Tour after a dominating win in 2013 and spectacular seasons all six years he has been the seniors circuit. Langer is very comfortable playing golf in Florida as he resides in Boca Raton, a popular destination for golf trips.

How to Increase Business Productivity
Business is a world filled with productivity. The money will only come if you are productive. Therefore, we should really take advantage of the time to continue to produce.
So, how to improve productivity?
1. Create a Product Variations
Create a new product varies. The new products will trigger and stimulate your brain to keep creative. Strive to make products that people need a lot. With more and more variety of products that are made, then the consumer will get a lot more options. And for you as an entrepreneur, in fact it was only one choice, which is your own product.
2. In Collaboration with People With Same Vision
When you working on a product, you can work with others. This is important because you can learn from others. While working together, you and your team can share knowledge. You can also exchange experience.
3. Share tasks to save time and energy
There is a time you have to delegate your work to others. But, you must remember! The work the results were not as good as it might be if you do it yourself. Therefore you still have to control it to fit the desired quality standards. But, in essence, you have to trust others. So you have time to do anything else.

Area churches came together on Sunday as part of "People Helping People." Each Sunday, volunteers feed the homeless in Forsyth Park, but this Sunday was extra special; it was "Resurrection Sunday."
Volunteers handed out shoeboxes filled with hygiene products, bibles, and other useful items. It was also the first time that many of the homeless children ever got to participate in an Easter-egg hunt. Organizers say they give back as much as they can, because you never know when you may be in need of help yourself.
"Several of the people that volunteer, you know, they have great lives and family, but they have all have been in a situation of crisis, and so they come so they can relate. And, it is easy to relate to the word of God, because the word of God delivers people from bad decisions through Christ," said Samuel Treece, Pastor, People Helping People.
The group is always in need of volunteers. Churches, organizations, and individuals are welcome to join in the efforts. Right now, they are in need of hygiene products.

Neighbors found the infant Tuesday, after hearing a sound coming from their trash can.
WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - The NC State Board of Education released the 2012-2013 end-of-grade and end-of-course test results Thursday and with them came the realization that students are not where they need to be.
Test scores dropped statewide. In 2011-12, 58.9% of students in grades 3-8 were proficient in both reading and math. However, only 32% of students in grades 3-8 were proficient in the same subjects this year.
Dr. Tim Markley with New Hanover County Schools says this drop was expected because this school year is the first time the new READY Accountability Model and new assessments aligned to college and career ready content standards were used.
"As in previous times when the tests have been renormed, we have experienced an initial dip in our results. It is important to understand that the new assessments have more difficult standards that the students were measured against." Markley said. "Our results indicate student growth, and in the future, test scores will show an upward trend."
This drop in scores is being felt statewide, but in a press release provided on Thursday, State Superintendent June Atkinson says it's all an effort to better prepare North Carolina's students.
"Students today are expected to solve problems and to use knowledge in new ways," said Atkinson. "We have raised standards for students because we want them to be ready for anything they choose to do after high school. That means doing more to prepare them for the competitive challenges of college and careers."
According to the State Board of Education, this new testing model follows through on a tradition of reporting of both academic growth rates and the percentage of students who scored proficient on state assessments. The "growth" illustrates the progress the student has made during the course of the school year.
Out of 2,405 schools, 28.6% exceeded expected growth, 42.7% met expected growth, and 28.7% did not meet growth goals.
Individual student scores will be given to parents to review within the next 30 days.
These results follow the National Assessment of Educational Progress more closely, according to the State Board of Education. It's generally considered to be the "Nation's Report Card" for public schools.
NAEP's 2013 results were also released Thursday. It shows fourth and eighth graders in North Carolina are on par with the national reading and math averages.

New Englad Looking to trade up for Barron???
NE reportedly wants to trade up to 13 to take Mark Barron? So, Cowboys fans, would u trade 1st (14) & 3rd (81) to NE for two 1sts (27 &31)?— Bill Jones (@CBS11BillJones) April 19, 2012
Just saw this on twitter, could always be a rumor. If there is any truth to it it brings two thoughts to my mind. 1. New England seems to scout well if they really want to make that move for Barron maybe he is as good as those of us that are pulling for him think he is, maybe. 2. We may very well be able to take advantage and trade with them if we want to stockpile two 1st, but I'd rather not.

I just bought this pack for the Elk Mountain Grand…
Price Paid: $75
I just bought this pack for the Elk Mountain Grand Traverse (40 mile BC ski race from Crested Butte to Aspen, CO). The pack was wonderful. Very lightweight and comfortable.
Wore it for 10+hr the first day with no complaints. Fit great and rode well. Held all of my gear (avalanche shovel, probe, down jacket & pants, skins, 3ltr water, food, etc.)
I'd highly recommend to anybody who wants a lightweight pack that holds everything you need.

Price Paid: $80
Il Cop's Ratings (out of 5):
Durability: 3
Value: 4.5
Weight/Capacity Ratio: 5
Functionality: 5
Comfort: 3.5
As my primary climbing pack for just over a year now, I've fallen in love with the Flash 30. Yes, yes, there are some knocks against its durability, but the weight savings in its super light ripstop and minimal reinforcements easily rationalize the need for occasional thoughtfulness in handling.
I'm a big fan of "dumb sacks" and while the Flash 30 has everything I need (tool attachments, bungee system, accessible zippered top pocket) this pack remains light on features, but heavy on function.
If you're looking for a lot of bells and whistles (and the weight and seams that go with them), this pack may not be for you. But if you are looking for a light, narrow profile sack with a simple suspension and functional construction the Flash 30 is a great value.

Omar Saeed Sheikh was convicted of murdering American journalist Daniel Pearl
Updated 3:50pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in News By Douglas Patient, Reporter - Wanstead & Woodford
A former Forest School pupil in prison in Pakistan for murdering an American journalist has tried to commit suicide, according to reports.
Omar Saeed Sheikh was convicted in 2002 of the murder of Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and beheaded in Karachi.
Sheikh, 38, who has dual British and Pakistani citizenship, is said to have attempted to hang himself in prison, according to the AFP news agency.
The agency quote senior Pakistani police officer Aram Naeem as saying: "His condition is stable now and a case has been filed against him in the local police station."
Mr Pearl was abducted in Karachi in January 2002 and a video of his killing was delivered to U.S. officials in Pakistan.
Forest School is a private school on the border of Walthamstow and Snaresbrook.

It is all relevant as is had a 'Traveller' or Immigrant been gaoled who did not attend a school.

Deep Garden
By Jose Covacevic
Deep Garden is my vision of the interior of a garden, beyond the simple look, it's the discovery of the life cycle, which passes in front us each day, it's the wonder of colors and forms as a spontaneous explosion of life, of those beings that live with us and require our attention.

Before making the film, its producer Fereshteh Taerpour said she did not even know the fatwa existed. "At the beginning, it was very strange for me to find out that sex-change operation is permitted in Iran," she told the Guardian. "The authorities give loans and even issue new ID cards after the surgery, something that is not legal in many countries."
One of the many astonishing paradoxes about life in the Islamic republic is that transsexuality has been legal since a fatwa was issued in 1987 by the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Indeed, Iran permits more sex-change operations than any other country, except Thailand, and has long subsidised such surgeries. But, though transsexuals may have the support of the government, they remains highly controversial figures among the public.
The religious ruling was issued thanks to the activities in the 1980s of Maryam Khatoon Molkara, a campaigner for the rights of transsexuals in Iran, who wrote to Khomeini asking him to determine their fate. Molkara had herself previously been a man, and worked for the state TV before the Islamic revolution in 1979. In the mid-70s, she started to write to Khomeini, who was in exile, asking for religious authorisation for a sex-change operation. In 1987, after a decade of campaigning, she went in person to the home of Khomeini, by then the country's supreme leader, and came back with a fatwa in hand that allowed transsexuals to choose their sex.
Rerad the full story.

[Edit: Poll Added]
We've had a recent run of bad news for our beloved Hawks. Outside of the wrestling team's surge, a few Caring is Creepy victories, and of course the general photoshop/prank call madness that is BHGP, few things have been fun enough around here lately. We saw the pent-up epicness of BHGP's readership in the crush-tastic "pansexual free-for-all" (1) that was stanzi's ex-girlfriend's (2) FanPost on Stanzi turned paean to all things hunky Iowa athlete. This is my attempt to continue that silliness with a big assist from BHGPodcast episode 50.
In that podcast either Mr. Jacobi or Mr. Vint (can't recall which) mentioned the game "Two Truths and a Lie". I am going to play that game for myself specifically as it relates to my fondly-remembered years spent in Iowa City. I am hoping that this spurs others to try the same game in an attempt to better know our BHGP friends and the horrible lives they truly lead. Or if this game isn't much fun to the rest of you, I hope it at least lightens the mood for a couple minutes before we go back to worrying about Rhabdo, DRUGS, and Gone Baby Gone.
A couple notes:
# I had 4.5 years of undergrad and about 2 years of hanging around afterward.
# All three of these stories are specific to Iowa City or the "college" time period that the town is for most people.
# I've made a strong attempt to avoid the typical "I was so drunk that I..." college stories.
# Sorry if some stories got a little wordy, I think they're best told in narrative form.
# Lastly, I'm unsure if I'll reveal later which of the three is made up, let's see how the thread goes.
So with that, here we go:
Truth or Lie #1: I was having beers with several friends and my younger brother at Sports Column. My brother was drunk early, and he was very annoying. He kept complaining that there weren't any cute girls that night at SpoCo. We told him that the bar next door was starting to become a hotspot for freshman girls. Seeing as it had no cover charge, he should pop on over there and return with a report if it was worth all of us going over (3). We gave him directions and he returned 45 minutes later slightly disappointed. He said that there weren't any girls at all, and the place was pretty empty in general. There were only about 10 guys, and it "might be a biker bar, several of the guys were wearing all leather" (4). The only good part to report was that "everybody seemed pretty nice. One guy even bought me a beer" (4). He didn't realize until the next morning that the Alley Cat was a gay bar.
Truth or Lie #2: I was a regular at the Fieldhouse basketball courts during my time in Iowa City. I was pretty good and got the opportunity to play with several current and former BB and FB athletes when they showed up. For example, I knew that Glen Worley was a house of cards when I played him point for point the summer after his promising Freshman year (5). My best memory there is the time that I was just about to leave after playing several games and several current/former players in their prime came onto one court, including Reggie Evans, his first year out of college and in the Leage (6). I sat and watched them while unlacing my shoes. Reggie was an absolute beast, amazing to watch so up-close. He unintentionally gave a huge elbow to Sean Sonderleiter who left bleeding. they needed a big and one of the guys playing vouched for me and Reggie came over and asked "Hey kid, wanna play?" (7) I hurriedly laced back up and played about 15 minutes against an in-his-prime Reggie until Sonderleiter could get back in. Reggie slaughtered me and made me look like a fool, but I loved every second of it.
Truth or Lie #3: My biggest regret after leaving Iowa City is crude but true. I never had a threesome while there. I turned them down Not once, not twice, but thrice (8). I realized soon after leaving that if you can't pull one off while in college, it's not going to happen. And since I'm now happily married, the chances of it ever happening are exactly nil. My biggest fantasy kaput. The first time I turned it down because one of the girls was an ex of one of my best friends. Something about "guy code" made me turn it down. The second time was with my college gf and her best friend. I turned it down because I was in love and didn't want it to ruin our relationship. The third time was because the second girl was about 30 pounds overweight (9). I realize this is oversharing of a dubious nature (sadly reminds me of the Shazam FanPost), but it truly is my biggest regret from college. The rest I lived up with no regrets. Especially the extra time from a few flunked classes.
So there they are. Two absolutely true, one absolutely a lie. Anybody else want to overshare?
(1) copyright Blackheartnopants. Full quote: "Show up for the sports. Stay for the pansexual free-for-all"
(2) somebody else mentioned it, but I second the nomination of stanzi's ex-girlfriend for Newcomer of the Year. First pelican whore, then that FanPost. Truly deserving.
(3) the world was sure different before cell phones/texting.
(4) These quotes are as close as I can remember to verbatim. You just can't make this stuff up. Or can you?
(5) Other notables: Bobby Sanders can dunk, Kaeding never goes inside the 3pt arc, Brad Lohaus had no problem driving on me despite being 6 inches taller and 15 years older, Chauncey Leslie was even faster in person.
(6) I couldn't tell who all were, I'm terrible with celebrities and names in general, I only knew who Lohaus was because it was pointed out to me.
(7) He actually called me "kid" in the same tone as the Mean Joe Greene commercial, even though we're the same age and I'm a large fellow
(8) Pardon the Mr. Burns quote, I can't go this long in conversation without one lame quote
(9) That one's the real head-scratcher to me. I am not unfamiliar with the charms of larger ladies.

Cubs get good news on injury front
Soriano in Saturday's lineup; Dempster, Lilly progressing
WASHINGTON -- Alfonso Soriano was back in the Cubs' lineup Saturday, Ted Lilly was scheduled to start Monday in Philadelphia and Ryan Dempster threw a bullpen session. Things are looking up for the Cubs.
Soriano, who dislocated the little finger in his right hand on Thursday sliding into first base, said the swelling had diminished enough so he could grip a bat. He hit in the batting cages early Saturday and said he was ready. Cubs manager Lou Piniella had two lineups ready depending on Soriano's status.
Lilly had been scheduled to start Saturday, but was pushed back to Monday against Philadelphia because of inflammation in his left knee.
"He said he could've pitched today if he had to," Piniella said of the left-hander. "That's a good sign for us. The decision to give him another 48 hours was a good one."
Lilly wasn't sure when he first felt some discomfort in his left knee. It hasn't really slowed him from doing his work on the side, and he said, "it's nothing major."
"I was feeling OK," Lilly said. "Hopefully with the rest, it'll give me a chance to feel better."
The injury had nothing to do with keeping Lilly from pitching in the All-Star Game on Tuesday in St. Louis. The left-hander was the Cubs' only representative on the National League team.
"[NL manager Charlie Manuel] was going to try to get me in there if they went extra innings," Lilly said. "He just said, 'Be ready to pitch.' It depended on how the game progressed.
"I'd like to make the All-Star team again next year," Lilly said. "It was a great experience for myself and my family and everybody. Hopefully, I'll pitch in next year's All-Star Game."
Dempster is on the disabled list with a broken right big toe, and had his first bullpen session Saturday since he injured his foot on July 5. Piniella called the workout "OK."
"The bone has to start showing calcifications and fusing together, and that's what we're waiting for," Piniella said. "I think before we make any concrete determination [as to when Dempster can pitch], he'll have to get another X-ray. He threw today and he was OK. He passed the first test. Before we can push him any further, he'll have to get another X-ray."
Dempster expects to have an X-ray on Thursday when the Cubs return from this two-city trip to Washington and Philadelphia. If he continues to progress, Dempster could throw a simulated game rather than go to the Minor Leagues, and be inserted back in the Cubs' rotation by the end of July or the first week of August.
Catcher Geovany Soto (left oblique strain) also is expected back the first week of August. He is currently rehabbing in Mesa, Ariz., at the team's Spring Training facility.

The federal government reached its borrowing limit on Monday, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner wrote in a letter to congressional leaders.
Hitting the ceiling does not mean the government faces a debt default. Geithner will be able to use so-called "extraordinary measures" to manage the country's payments for two more months, but a default will loom as a threat in early 2013 unless Congress takes action to lift the debt limit. Geithner has said that the precise deadline for avoiding a default is unclear because of uncertainty surrounding tax increases and automatic spending cuts that will take effect this week if lawmakers can't reach a deal to avert the "fiscal cliff."
The debt limit has reared its head in discussions to keep the country from going over the cliff, though President Obama has vowed not to allow it to be used as a bargaining chip in the budget talks.
It is a potential source of leverage for GOP lawmakers pushing for cuts in spending, but their efforts to use it to put pressure on Obama could backfire. The last debt-ceiling fight, in the summer of 2011, prompted Standard & Poor's to downgrade the nation's credit rating. The American public blamed Republicans for the fiasco.

text: Yes the seven time all-american comes back from the pro tour to help win a 4th team championship in a row (only USC has done it twice) and the his 2nd singles crown. Today he took on Eric Quigley of Kentucky and won his 72nd singles match in a row with a 6-4, 6-4, featuring two players that only drop one set in five rounds. Considering that Steve won two challenger series tournaments in 5 months to a ranking in the top 300 in the world, to come back to college tennis says a lot for the Trojan senior. With this win he will get a automatic bid to the US Open, without having to play Qualifying for the second year in a row. Last year he lost a five set match to Alex Bogomolov (#46 ATP) which could have gone ether way, hopefully he gets past that this year. Here is a couple of very enlightening videos they will tell a hidden story of Steven's run. Enjoy

Friendly hosts, beautiful old house.My wife and I enjoyed our stay in the attic room of this beautiful old house in Deadwood. Hosts were friendly, and the breakfast very good. Free on-street parking, and a short walk to the historic downtown area.

If you thought the Morristown & Township Library might be a good place to ride out the Polar Vortex, think again.
A burst water pipe shut down the facility late this morning, Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2014.
The Morristown Fire Department was out in force. The library will be closed all day, according to its website.
At noontime, the temperature outside the library was a tropical 14 degrees.
Is it just me, or is this Alaskan winter growing a little tiresome?

It seems to me like Colt is starting to look like 2007 Colt. He has thrown 5 INT's in 3 games. I hope Colt gets it together fast, because the injuries are starting to stack up and Texas can't afford to give away free points. I think he'll be fine, but he has to make better decisions sometimes. The offense has looked a little tired to me the past two games, I hope they wake up soon.
Has anybody heard the status of Ulatowski? T. Hills got hurt against Tech last year, and a&m tore the o-line up the next game. When will Orakpo, and Houston be back? Acho is a big step down from Orakpo when it comes to pass rushing . When is Chykie Brown going to be healthy?
McGee looks like he's running the ball better now than he did at the beginning of the year. I still think Fozzy is the RB of the future by far, and should get the majority of the snaps.
It seems to me that the winner of the Tech/ou game will play in the Big 12 championship game. If Texas wins out, they will play in the Fiesta Bowl if Tech/ou play in the national championship game. The good news is it seems that if Texas wins out, they will get one of the BCS games (I will be pissed if ou passes UT in the polls).

JOUST is both an idea and a quasi acronym. As an idea, JOUST captures the spirit of a medieval fair in which we entered combat to advance knowledge. As a quasi acronym, it is the "Journal of Undergraduate Research Students". Although the "Research" part is out of the acronym, it can be emphasized when the full name is written out.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st ODI | Cricket Highlights | 11th Nov 2011
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI Highlights 2011. Pakistan (Pak ) vs Sri Lanka (SL) Highlights 1st ODI Cricket Highlights. Pak vs SL, Cricket Highlights Dubai 9th November. Watch Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Test Cricket Highlights 9 Nov. Watch Pakistan and Sri Lanka in UAE Cricket Highlights 2011.
Misbah-ul-Haq's appointment as captain of the Pakistan cricket team has turned around fortunes of the side marred by controversies. Despite all the off-field distractions, he has been able to keep Pakistan on winning ways with series wins over Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. The impressive aspect of his leadership is that a potentially volatile group of men are playing as a team, complimenting each other and enjoying whatever success is coming their way. Sri Lanka too had similar expectations when Tillakaratne Dilshan was handed over the baton post 2011 World Cup. But, they seem to be slipping down the ladder as their results have been disappointing so far. In England, Sri Lanka lost both the Test and ODI series, worse followed as they lost to Australia even on home soil and the latest, Pakistan got better of them in the three Test series on neutral territory.
The surprising thing so far has been Sri Lanka's inability to take control even with a team that boasts two top batsmen in the world, i.e. Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. Then there is Dilshan himself and with a couple of promising youngsters around, Sri Lanka should have performed better against Pakistan.
After the Tests, focus now shifts on to the one-dayers where again the Islanders would be hoping to do well. Return of experienced hands- Lasith Malinga and Dilhara Fernando is bound to provide depth and variety to their bowling attack that has been their biggest worry in the recent times. In the batting department, prolific opener Upul Tharanga and Dinesh Chandimal are the new faces. With a top all-rounder like Angelo Mathews in the side, the team has good balance but it remains to be seen if they can finally win a series in coloured clothing.

Let's forget about enjoying high-fat foods "in moderation": A trip to Shake Shack, the much-ballyhooed chain restaurant that opened in Chestnut Hill Wednesday, doesn't invite moderation. It's a full-blown splurge: Oozing slabs of beef drowned in yellow cheese; oil-saturated fries with ketchup; pools of sugar and fats stirred into a shake. A single meal can exceed 2,000 calories, more than the recommended daily allowance for an average-sized woman. As for the amount of fat, sugar, and sodium — well, maybe it's best not to think about it.
Like other chains that abandon any pretense of healthy fare, Shake Shack seems to feed on the very admonitions that lead people to cut back. Many dieters convince themselves they deserve a break, and Shake Shack seems to exist to provide that occasional pig-out. It's the restaurant equivalent of the cookie box on top of the refrigerator.

Federal agents raided two dairy farms as part of an ongoing investigation. Search warrants were executed at Parisville Dairy in Huron County and Dunganstown Dairy in Tuscola County.
The Huron County Sheriff's Department assisted with the raid at Parisville Dairy. Sheriff Kelly Hanson said one of his deputies saw agents taking people away.
"The sergeant did observe three or four illegals being taken into custody," said Hanson.
The sheriff said Parisville Dairy has a history with his department. His deputies have been there numerous times.
"We've been at that location in the last four years, five times. Three of those have involved illegal aliens," said Hanson.
Officials with immigration and customs enforcement won't comment on the reason behind these recent search warrants. The agents conducted the raids on May 22. Additional details are not being released because the investigation is ongoing.

From 25 June to 12 October 2014 (extended closing date)
Although he might seem by temperament antipathetic to any constructive rule, for a time Kurt Schwitters embraced the idealistic formalism of Constructivism. In 1923, as a result of his contact with the members of the Dutch De Stijl group and the Russian artist El Lissitzky, who visited him in Hanover for the first time in 1922, his works gradually became geometricised. During 1923 and 1924 Schwitters had much more contact with El Lissitzky and the two artists even signed a joint manifesto in July 1924. As John Elderfield has pointed out, this relationship led to the appearance of the grid in the constructions Schwitters produced during those years. "Little by little my study of the materials and the laws of painting bore fruit," wrote the artist in 1927, "so that in 1924 I made my first attempts at a greater rigour, simplification and more universal expression."
Merz 1925, 1. Relief in Blue Square is an assemblage created from geometrically shaped pieces of wood on a base of lengthwise boards and surrounded by a crude wooden frame. Schwitters has heightened the relief effect by means of the contrast between the red pieces and the large black square against the light background which, coupled with the thick blue frame, recalls a theatre stage set. The only odd element in the composition is the sole of a shoe, which strikes a dissonant note.
Whereas in earlier constructions the various pieces were affixed with nails, which Schwitters introduced from the front so that the heads were visible and formed part of the work, in the present relief the nails have been introduced from behind and cannot be seen. The materials thus appear to be part of a unitary whole and create a balanced picture space with a special intuitive freedom.

Can first world countries spend their overseas aid budgets more effectively?
On March 20th 2013, Great Britain's government firmly backed a legislation that would ensure that 0.7% (~£11 Billion) of Gross National Income will be spent on Overseas Aid.
With many skeptics feeling that this money is often wasted or better spent in more important areas, how would you like to see this money spent to change the perception that International Aid isn't effective?
Myself and Maddy Nash would love to hear your thoughts!

Karmel BlueMar 28 2013: G'day Nik ...I had wonderful parents. Bought up in the Methodist Church where we were taught 'do unto others'....treat people how you would like them to treat you. Life is about caring and those that can (must look after those that can't). I tell you it is a very satisfying life and am a happy person.
Just retired I got training and work as a volunteer on behalf of Australia's Disabled and Senior people and my background has made me soo strong as I try and right the wrongs for disabled people in particular, keeping my promise to that little boy in Afghanistan all those years ago.
I went to UK to visit my brother who had got a job as a Lecturer in pure maths at Cambridge. In my day (I'm 64) women were not expected to go to Uni. My brother insisted I sit for exam and I got into Cambridge to study Anthropology I only did 2 yrs. but did not finish degree.
I came home to Australia via overland ..east.europe, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Singapore. Much more travel after.
Yes having only 1 child (I separated from father)I was able to provide a roof over his head, food on the table, medical costs, schooling (his father paid for his university). He is doing the same for his daughter and grandson.
Personally I believe every child should have what I worked (often 2 jobs) for to give my 1 child. Yes I did have to take contraception.
Nik what did you think of www.spiritofsharing.com.au you ask what next 1-10 yrs. Contraception to be seen as a GOOD word (not dirty) and more grass roots aid missions like Spirit is doing. Anyone reading please give a donation as the Tibet project needs $100,000 A.
To have lived your life without compassion (for others) is to not have lived at all !
Amen Blessings to all.
Nik GillMar 29 2013: Hi Karmel!
Thank you so much for providing your thoughts on this through what you have experienced in life. It's great to the hear the views of those all over the world so that we can gain a holistic perspective on the issues we are currently facing today.
It sounds as though you were raised very well and are extremely grounded! It is great that you have stayed true to your beliefs (e.g. keeping your promise to the little boy in Afghanistan)... and passed this onto your future generations... if everyone across the world has the same positive & determined attitude we will go far together on topics such as this.
I really like what www.spiritofsharing.com.au is doing as an initiative. I think they have tapped into one of the few things that often transcends race, religion & politics - which is sport. In fact, on Christmas Day during the First World War, the fighting stopped between England / The Allies and Germany and a game of football was played between both front lines. It ended 4-2 between Scotland and Germany. Sadly, the next day, the war then continued...
Anyway... I have moved off the point slightly... by supplying these specific goods to young children, they are increasing their quality of life greatly from a social development point of view. We have talked about simple things such as clean water / rebuilding infrastructure... but this is the first time social / mental development has come up. My cousin is a social worker who deals specifically with children and has always said that social development at a such as a young age will greatly impact the way one grows up so I do honestly think the 'spirit of sharing' is a wonderful & worthwhile idea.
I'm just trying to think of a way in which the general public (e.g. the UK people) could directly choose initiatives like this to donate their proportion of Overseas Aid (via Tax etc.) to...
Hope you have a great day!

A grand jury has indicted a Richland Hills man accused of cutting a pentagram into his son's back with a box cutter.
Brent Bartel called 911 last December saying he carved the
symbol on the 6-year-old because it was a holy day. The cuts were not life
threatening, but covered the majority of the child's back.
Bartel was indicted on a charge of aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon.
If convicted he will face up to 20 years in prison.

I thought that this was going to be the fight of the year from the moment it finished. It was run close by some other fights featuring 5 rounds of positively epic action, but everything involved with the making of this matchup and the actual fight unfolding, to the incredible finish added up to not only make this the fight of the year, but probably the most exhilarating contest that I've ever seen in combat sports.
First of all, the build up to the fight raised the levels of expectation to unprecedented levels, the likes of which had never been associated with for any of Silva or Sonnen's previous combined fights. The seeds for the match up were sown as Sonnen defied the bookmakers in January at UFC 109 to walk through a barrage of Nate Marquardt's offence and pound on him for 3 rounds on his way to a unanimous decision victory, fight of the night bonus, and shot at the middleweight title. Then, in April, most of the sport's fans turned on Anderson Silva as he coasted through a fight with Damien Maia, refusing to take the contest seriously and toying with his Maia who was out of his depth. Presumably seeing that the general MMA public was turning this way, for the next six months Chael proceeded to talk the most ridiculous amount of bullshit to belittle Anderson and his accomplishments, and make a case for himself winning in their fight, as you can see in the video below.
Now as you can probably imagine, most of what was coming out of his mouth was rubbish. Anderson Silva was (and still is in my opinion) the best fighter in the world, with wins over top 10 opponents in three weight classes, and the longest win-streak in UFC history. While many may have been sucked in by Chael's talk, most educated fans still saw the fight for what it was. A fight where the only way that Anderson Silva could be defeated would be if Chael Sonnen could wrestle him to the ground at the start of each round, and keep him there for 25 minutes due to his lack of standup technique or submission skills. Unlikely. The same thing would probably happen as in the Marquardt fight, with Sonnen having to eat several knees to achieve this. The difference between Silva's and Marquardt's knees though is that Silva tends to destroy people's worlds with his. So far, so boring, presumably another straightforward win for the champ.
Because of that, what followed was twice as thrilling as it would have otherwise been. After a brief feeling out period, CHAEL SONNEN DROPPED ANDRSON SILVA WITH A STRAIGHT LEFT HAND. The same Anderson Silva who channelled the spirit of Neo from The Matrix in the fight with Forrest Griffin, slipping punches and firing back with devastating power and accuracy. This did not matter to Chael Sonnen, proud Republican and real estate agent from Oregon; he would probably have taken the blue pill. He just fucking drilled Anderson straight down the pipe, and followed up the rest of the round by continuing to hit him standing up, then dump him on his back and literally pound his head into the mat.
Fine, a small set-back for the champ. Surely he'd regain his usual swagger in the second, and make Sonnen pay for the audacity of actually hitting him. NO. For the next two rounds, Sonnen countered Silva's kicks, put him down, and made him suffer, delivering blow after blow to the head and body on the ground, Anderson losing all sense of his usual calm and swagger. This was unbelievable. A man who had not looked so much as slightly vulnerable for the past four years was down 30-26 over three rounds and surely on his way to losing for the first time ever in the octagon.
It was do or die now, basically nothing but a stoppage would win for Anderson Silva, and he came out like a man who wanted to take his opponents head off. Exhausted, he took the centre of the octagon, and put Sonnen Down as he sent his right elbow crashing into his chin, then stalked him down, firing off kicks and punches, but not his usual crisp straight strikes. Wide, looping shots, grabbing onto the cage for support. He stuffs a takedown, the first time that had happened in the fight, but then Sonnen reverses the situation, sweeping from half-guard and putting the fight back to where it had been for most of the last 15 minutes. Unbelievable. Then, the fifth and final round, Silva steps forward again but gets clipped with a wide left hook around the ear and crunbles again, Sonnen gets on top and looks to ride out the last five minutes to a 50-43 scorecard, the title, breaking the biggest winning streak of the most dominant champion and best fighter in UFC history. Adulation, plaudits, and probably as many batshit crazy tea-party Republican women as he could possibly get his hands on for the rest of his life. With two minutes to go both fighters were knackered and seemingly resigned to this inevitable outcome. But Chael Sonnen is Chael Sonnen, and Chael Sonnen's M.O. is getting caught in submission holds. He gets lazy, allowing Anderson double-wrist-control, for about 30 seconds, allowing him to adjust his hips enough to slap on a triangle choke. There's a struggle, CHAEL SONNEN TAPS! LESS THAN 2 MINUTES TO GO! OH. MY. GOD. My reaction was comparable, but considerably less ghetto than these gentlemen.
This was probably the single most exciting moment I've ever seen in sport. Football is something I will always love more than anything, but no instance in a football match could have a team losing 5-0, only to suddenly win the match in the space of 5 seconds. Due to the combination of everything that had gone before in the fight, and the previous 6 months, the reversal of fortunes and the crescendo that this fight finished on was easily the most electrifying moment that could be possible in athletic competition. To make matters even more astonishing, it turns out that Anderson Silva had a rib injury, which essentially meant he had absolutely no business stepping into the cage that night. Before presenting Silva with his belt, the camera panned to Dana White and showed him telling Silva "you're the fucking man," He's never said a truer sentence. There were better technical fights in 2010, there were more competitive fights in 2010 and there were more significant fights in 2010, but no fight provided more drama, excitement, disbelief and awe than Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen in 2010, and best of all, it was over 5 ROUNDS. That is why I rate it as the fight of the year.
After the jump, some other fights worth a mention.
Honourable mentions
Leonard Garcia Dec3 Chan Sun Jung – WEC 48: Aldo vs Faber
Many of you may have actually seen this fight if you know me seeing as I showed it to pretty much everyone that would entertain the notion. It was a poor decision from the judges, but an absolutely thrilling all out brawl between two guys who don't seem to know the meaning of pain. I can't forget Garcia laughing as he gets dropped and repeatedly punched in the face. Nuts
Jorge Santiago TKO5 Kazuo Misaki – Sengoku 14
I can hardly sum this up in a few phrases. I recommend Sherdog's summary as this was their choice as fight of the year.
Chris Leben Sub3 Yoshihiro Akiyama – UFC116: Lesnar vs Carwin
Not technically great, not the highest level fighters but oh my goodness this was 3 rounds of unforgettable action. Chris Leben came in for his second fight in 2 weeks and traded punches with the Japanese judoka, with both fighters taking impossible amounts of punishment before Leben locked on the triangle.
Anthony Pettis Dec5 Benson Henderson – WEC 53: Henderson vs Pettis
I could mention how awesome the back and forth five rounds of this fight was, but why do that when I could just show THAT kick that won Pettis the fight.
probably not the most original list, but there's nothing that I can think of that entertained me more.

Reading is a Breeze!
by Miranda Lewis
Growing Fluency
Rationale: One of the goals in reading instruction is fluency, which means that students should read fast, accurately, and automatically. Children begin reading at a slow, drawn out pace due to having to decode a story word by word. Practicing through repeated sessions reading the same book will aid students in building fluency. The rereading of texts ultimately leads to the student being able to automatically recognize those same words in the future.
-Class set of "Lee and the Team" (Educational Insights)
-Dry erase marker
- Checklist (two copies per student)
Sentence strips
- I like to jump after eels.
- You are going to school.
- Kite progress charts
- stickers (lots!)
1. Successful readers are fluent readers! Fluent readers can read fast without stopping to sound out each word. Words just jump out at you when you are a fluent reader, so it is easier to pay more attention to what the words in the story mean. One way that we can work on becoming fluent readers is to read a book over and over again. Each time you read the book, you get faster because you are learning how to read the words in the story without even thinking about how to say them. Today we are going to start practicing on how to become a fluent reader.
2. First, let's see how a reader that isn't fluent would read a sentence. I-liikke-too-juuummmmp-affftterrrr-eeeelsss. Now, let's see how a fluent reader would read this sentence. I like to jump after eels. Would you like to hear a story read to you by the first or second reader? (first)
3. To practice becoming fluent
readers, we are going to read a book called
"Lee and the Team." After you read the story three times, raise your hand, and I
will give you a kite chart and a checklist. Look next to you, and pick a
partner. Write your name on your checklist and give it to your partner to fill
out. Your partner will decide if you remembered more words, read faster,
smoother, and with expression. As you are reading, I will call everyone to my
table to read the story and a couple of sentences to me. If your partner is with
me at my table, then keep reading the book to yourself.
4. Booktalk: Lee is the leader of a baseball team. His team is going to be late for the game because they don't want to run. They want to sit under a tree. Will they make it to the game on time? You'll have to read the book to find out!
5. Have the student read the story to you 3 times as you fill out the same fluency checklist the students used in pairs. Then, have students read sentence strips to you 3 times. (I like to jump after eels. & You are going to school.) Make notes pertaining to fluency and missing correspondences on the back on the fluency checklist.
