LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Chaudhary Muhammad Zaka Ashraf said Thursday that he would not resign from the post and expressed the determination to complete his four years tenure as the board's chief. "My utmost effort will be to take measures for the betterment of Pakistan cricket by taking all stakeholders into confidence on all important cricket matters," Ashraf told media at Gadaffi Stadium here before assuming his duties as the chairman as per verdict of the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
A division bench of the IHC on Wednesday reinstated Ashraf as PCB chairman, following a long complicated legal process. The two-member bench, consisting of Justice Riaz Ahmed Khan and Justice Noorul Haq Qureshi, announced its judgment on an appeal filed by Ashraf against his dismissal last July. Ashraf was suspended from the post in May last year by Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui of the same court after it was ruled that he was elected via a 'dubious' and 'polluted' process. After Ashraf's dismissal, the government appointed veteran journalist Najam Aziz Sethi as acting chairman but the same bench later also stopped him from exercising his full powers and ordered him to hold fresh elections.
Zaka sounded confident when he was asked about his future plans after his restoration as the PCB chairman. "There are a lot of challenges Pakistan cricket is facing today and my top most priority will be to work collectively for the betterment of our cricket," he maintained. "I know our cricket is going through a difficult phase and as the chairman I am under a heavy load of responsibility to take on all the challenges in a decent manner and resolve all cricket related problem," he stated.
Ashraf said cricket was the passion of the entire nation and it served as an effective medium to forge unity and brotherhood among the people of Pakistan. He expressed his resolve to work for the development of cricket without taking into consideration any political affiliation.
"It is my desire to brief the patron in chief of the PCB, Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, on cricket related affairs and to seek his guidance on our team's participation in the Asia Cup in the back drop of security issues in the host country Bangladesh," said he.
To a question, he said Misbahul Haq was fit enough but the World Cup in 2015 was far away and the inclusion of any player including the captain would be made based on his fitness and form. "In my opinion Muhammad Hafeez is duly justifying in his role as T20 captain. He said PCB's cricket committee would look into the matter of hiring a new coach for Pakistan team as Dav Whatmore would be completing his stint with the team next month.
Ashraf said he did not seek the International Cricket Council's (ICC) support on his suspension and removal as PCB chief because for him Pakistan's respect was far supreme than anything. He said he would resume his efforts for the revival of cricket ties with India as good progress was being made during his tenure on the resumption of cricket ties between the two neighboring countries. The PCB chief said he would work on resolving issues between the regional cricket associations for ensuring the smooth working of the regional bodies and to take them in mainstream for the development of cricket.

iPhone 5 Release Date To Be Announced Soon
Apple is all set to announce the release date of its flagship communication device on a global scale. The sources close to Apple are seeing iPhone 5's release somewhere in the month of July or August, 2011. Although Apple is projecting iPad 2 as their biggest gadget at the moment the things are going to take up newer propositions after the release of the new iPhone 5. The end customers who are planning to choose amongst iPad 2 and iPhone 5 would be required to make a difficult choice. The price point of the device would not change and it might be the case that Apple would further reduce the price tag of its marvel communication device.
There are rumours that this time round the maker would offer 64 GB version of the phone apart from the regular league of 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB. This would give higher flexibility and options for the end user to choose from. Since the iPhone is capable of doing and accomplishing a lot more than the standard phones out there the aspiration amongst the end users for better storage capacity will be fulfilled. For business professionals and students who are required to juggle between data sources would cherish using the platform in a seamless manner. The design of the communication extravaganza would be kept unaltered by the maker in order to meet the strong demand for portable devices. However, a sleeker and trendier iPhone is on the cards for sure this time round.
One of the concerning aspects for Apple has been the production lag by Chinese contractor arising from chip procurement. The huge demand has skewed the graph in favour of Apple however; it has acted against them too. They are unable to cater to several strategic international markets in Asia Pacific where smuggled iPad 2 and iPhone 4 are being sold. It would be interesting to note Apple's global launch strategy amidst huge demand from all corners of the globe. In case they are unable to sort out manufacturing delays the iPhone 5 release would be delayed too. Therefore, one should act in a methodical manner while weighing their options. The regular timelines for shipment of the product may vary from 3 weeks to 6 weeks. Therefore, if you are an Apple lover you should pre-book your gadget at the time of pre-booking window. You'd cherish the benefits of availing the device in 3-4 weeks time span than the delayed span of 6 weeks.
The end customers should count their options in advance while trying to benefit from the supreme device. The robust app support and some of the finest set of feature enablement has taken the overall utility of the product to newer heights. The new features such as better camera support, faster processor and cleaner OS enablement would enhance the value of new iPhone in a positive manner. For current iPhone 4 users, you can enhance the app support and other features by learning how to unlock iPhone 4. Get going and look to showcase new iPhone 5 in your hands before you end up being in the long queue for the phone.

I wrote this crazy thing for Nieman Lab called What The New York Times Should Do Next.
I think we're at a rare moment historically, when people are going to realize that we'll have to pay for some stuff. There's not enough advertising in the world to keep all these apps, tv stations, and news sites alive, so we're going to start seeing more freemium options.
And for chrissakes, stop calling it a subscription. It's a membership.

Reason To Love The Internet, #789
About a year-and-a-half ago, I wrote a blog post that contained a whacky idea I had for a piece of software that allows one computer to connect to multiple different interent connections (wifi, ethernet, 4G card, whatever). Theoretically, it seemed to me, a computer that was able to connect to multiple wifi networks could double or triple internet speeds in certain locations. In my post, I said Microsoft should do it, but of course that never happened.
Kickstarter did it! Or this project on Kickstarter called Connectify Dispatch did it.
Love it.
This surely was the inspiration for the threesome episode of Girls, right?
(But seriously, that was Lena Dunham who read that piece? 2010 was so long ago.)

Former Inter target under Andrea Stramaccioni, Francesco Lodi, has recently joined the Rossoblu from Catania on a co-ownership deal seeing Panagiotis Tachtsidis head the other direction. The 29 year-old Italian playmaker revealed the move to his hometown club to Genoa based newspaper, Corriere Mercantile.
He stated, "Catania was an important experience for me, I've grown and I'm now ready for Genoa, very ready." The former Udinese midfielder had reportedly rejected both Milan clubs last January to join the Liguria based club.

This year's second seminar in a series entitled, Approaches to Pluralism in Muslim Contexts, was organised by Aga Khan University's Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations (AKU-ISMC) on Friday, June 18, 2004. The series is gradually gaining prominence and many academicians have now become regular participants. Besides the heads and faculty members of various universities and research institutions in England, the seminar also attracts a number of professionals and prominent members of the Muslim community in the UK.
The June seminar, titled, Globalisation and Local Cultures explored the dynamics of global forces and reassertions of local identities with a particular focus on Muslim contexts. The two seminar speakers were Professors Nur Yalman and Jack Goody.
Nur Yalman, Professor of Social Anthropology and Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University, suggested that many features of the current globalisation have a long historical precedent. He pointed out that although cultural borrowing has been an on-going phenomenon which effectively assisted in the spread of human technology; it has also led to a feeling of insecurity in the recipient cultures. He attributed these feelings of insecurity to the intimate connection between cultural exchanges and balance of powers among the members of a particular culture. Due to this connection, such exchange is often of unequal benefit to different groups which, in turn, could lead to a variety of reactions, including overt resistance to cultural interactions. He proposed that this dynamics provides a good model for comprehending current geo-political and cultural situation.
Jack Goody is Emeritus Wyse Professor of Social Anthropology at St. John's College Cambridge and one of the top anthropologists today. Drawing extensively upon his vast field works, he argued that the cultural borrowing happens differently with regard to technology and thought. He referred to several examples to show that while it was easy to transplant technological achievements across cultures, the movement of ideas and, particularly, metaphysical and ethical ideas, was far less fluid. This was because these ideas are always linked with existentialand identity issues. He also argued that a historical study of such interactions provides a sobering analysis of the limits and possibilities of globalization as we are experiencing today.
The presentations were followed by a discussion among speakers and participants during which the distinctive features of the current form of globalisation, the reassertion of racial, religious and linguistics identities, the role and limits of education in dealing with the resulting challenges and the question of the changing nature of the idea of culture were addressed. Some participants spoke about the implications of the arguments raised in the discussion vis-à-vis contemporary and future challenges of Muslims.
Earlier, in his welcome address, Dr. Filali-Ansary, Director of AKU-ISMC, spoke about the work of the Institute, particularly stressing its goal of bringing together scholars from various persuasions for meaningful intellectual encounters. He succinctly outlined the key debates surrounding globalisation and local cultures.

Nearly 1,800 new jobs could come to Mississippi, according to Governor Haley Barbour. His office says if lawmakers approve an incentive package during the special session Friday, two high-tech companies will locate their operations in the Magnolia state.
Calisolar will invest $600 million dollars, creating 951 full-time jobs with an average salary of $45,000, in Columbus to make silicon.
HCL Cleantech will spend one billion dollars to put its headquarters in Olive Branch, its research plant in Grenada, and other plants in Booneville, Hattiesburg and Natchez areas. The company will create 800 jobs with an average salary of $67,000.
HCL Cleantech converts biomass to sugars which are used in industrial products.
Lawmakers will be asked to approve $175 million dollars in bonds to make it all happen.

Not true of everyone, of course and thank God for that. It's so silly though. Not everyone can do everyone, yet humans seem to delight in punishing each other for it and then bemoaning their own loneliness even though they won't accept people who are different from them. It all goes back to the fact that it's a very good thing we ARE different...the world would be boring other wise. I think it's just as much the job of people who are hoh or d/Deaf to reach out to hearies as it is the other way 'round. Just a thought. We insist we are proud of who we are and then take offense at natural awkwardness from people who just need a little time to adjust to our unique needs. I really believe that if given the chance and the time, most people, hearie or not, will come around and work with people different then themselves.
Very insightful. Perhaps we would all be better off if we embraced the differences instead of focusing so much on the sameness. We all like the company of people we can relate to, but the truth of the matter is, our lives become richer through exposing ourselves to differences.

Parent Resource Library
Parents now have a complete, cutting-edge and comfortable place to turn for all their parenting questions and concerns. The Children's Museum of Houston, together with the Houston Public Library, opened the Parent Resource Library, the first of its kind in the country, in the Museum in the spring of 1999. Since then, nearly 1,000 visitors a week have used the library, including checking out books, thumbing through resources and printing information off the internet while their children read books or play with educational toys right alongside them.
The library's unique design enables the parents, educators and even doctors who are looking for information to find what they need on shelves waist-high and up, checking out the materials with a Houston Public Library card, while children's materials keep the younger minds busy on the lower shelves.
By arming parents and caregivers with information, the library aims to help parents identify challenges early in their children's life and take the appropriate action. Research indicates that the first three years of a child's life are critical to development. The Children's Museum continuously offers programs and activities for young children to make those years as enriched as possible, as well as lecture series to educate new parents. The Parent Resource Library was the most logical next step in becoming a complete resource for parents on all early childhood issues and concerns.
Materials in the library cover everything from potty training, cultural issues and discipline to a variety of special needs.
Museum Library Hours and Phone:
The library also maintains a list of local organizations and resources to refer visitors for additional support. Resources on discipline, ADHD, learning disabilities and asthma seem to be the most popular items for check-out. Materials are available in Spanish as well as English to best serve Houston's population.
Special funding for this library has been provided by the Brown Foundation, Inc., the Bill and Sara Morgan Family Foundation, the Eric and Karen Pulaski Philanthropic Fund of the Houston Jewish Community Foundation, the Rockwell Fund, Inc., the George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation and SBC. Story Time funded by Pi Beta Phi Foundation.

Last Thursday six women climbed the outside of the Shard as part of a Greenpeace campaign to save the Arctic.
By the afternoon of the 11th July in central London, crowds had gathered and there were so many police about that initially some thought there had been a bomb scare. Those who had caught on were looking up, peering behind hand-visors up the glinting, impossibly glassy body of the Shard, and at the six black dots on its side.
Greenpeace had released a statement that morning, that six protesters would be scaling the colossal building, the tallest in western Europe, to hang some artwork and fly a flag in the name of the Greenpeace Arctic campaign, which is trying to stop oil giants from exploiting the northern hemisphere's fragile mass of ice. The team had attached cameras to their helmets, and the entire climb was being live-streamed to an audience of thousands. Through social media, those on the ground quickly became aware of what was going on, and suits began peering out of windows as café punters spilt coffees into saucers. Meanwhile, the team clinging to the building hundreds of meters up in the direct sun had little idea of the number of eyes on them.
"I was putting tweets out but I had no idea if there were 10 people watching or 10 million," Ali Garrigan, one of the two UK team members told Planet Ivy, when we caught up with her a few days later.
The action certainly garnered attention – covered live on the BBC and prompting many articles in the national press, but what was it like to actually be up there? "Once you're above 30 meters, I don't think I could figure out how high I was, I just thought 'everything looks quite small now'," says Ali, 27, nonchalantly.
With all the press, there was bound to be a mixed reaction to the feat. And unfortunately the inevitable sticking point after London had stop spinning, was that the group was entirely female. There were some typically sexist responses, like that of The Telegraph's Toby Young who reckoned Greenpeace were "implicitly accepting that women are the weaker sex."
"It's really disappointing but I think what's come out in the media far more for me are the really positive reactions, challenging this macho front that activism has," says Ali. "It's been really positive with this one that women have been put at the forefront of actions and taking a leading role in this stuff. So I think the sexist reactions we got were expected in some sense. But I think I've very much just turned a blind eye to them."
The women were bought together on the basis that they all had experience in sport and industrial climbing, and a passion for the cause. Enough passion to climb a 1010-foot glass building.
"A few of us were contacted to say do you want to do this? And six of us were up for it so we got together and the team kind of formed from there. From the earliest moment they said, 'this is the idea you can pull out of at any time', because it was obviously a pretty crazy and tall order," says Ali. "I'm not sure if they contacted guys as well but I know that once it became obvious that we could do it as a group of women, we were all really really up for it… So many climbing actions get done by a group of guys, and it just seems so macho and so inaccessible… We wanted to put a clear statement out that we recognise that we've got a certain level of privilege; we're able bodied, we've learned to climb and we've got these skills. We wanted to put it forward in the sense of whatever you can do for the campaign, do it."
The Shard looms over Shell and BP's headquarters like a modern, steely tower of Mordor. It's modelled on a shard of ice and its centrality makes it unavoidable. But why didn't the activists target Shell directly? "We wanted to do the Shard because it's not associated with one company – it shows it's a wider problem. While Shell is one of the targets of this campaign there are others involved in it," says Ali.
Nick Clegg has complained that the campaigners could have gotten their point across in another way, but taking direct action with such a dramatic stunt has certainly grabbed attention, and as Ali says, time is running out. "It was time for a really big strong action because the situation with the Arctic, we're really reaching a crunch point with it. This was the summer that it really needed to get out there… and get massive public support behind it."

After reaching the top, the team were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass and have to wait until August to find out if they'll be charged. "In this case I think it's going to be really difficult to construct a defence [if we're charged] but that's something we're all really aware of and prepared for before." Ali hopes public support will stop the judgement from being too heavy-handed, but it's Greenpeace's method to be transparent about its actions.
"You do what you're going to do, you hold your hands up and say 'yeah, I was there, I shut down that petrol station' or whatever you did and you stand there and you're accountable for it. And it works in favour of Greenpeace a lot of the time because the public can really relate to that, they don't just tar you with the mindless criminal brush or anything like that."
The climb had been well rehearsed. "It was meticulously planned – it has to be with those things because there are so many things that can go wrong, and you need to be safe." The scariest part was in fact the night leading up, and the Oceans Eleven-style mission to the Shard in the morning.
"It was astonishing because we'd spent I guess two months practising the climbing and planning all of that and a different team organised the rest, they just said 'we will deliver you to the bottom of the building you don't have to worry about that'."
The day before the group were taken to a secret location outside of London where a van was waiting for them. They were told, "go and have a look inside the van", where a hole had been cut and ladders had been fitted with rope pulleys so they could be extended eight meters high through the roof, to enable the van to sit with its bonnet against a wall and the team to climb up and onto the building's roof.
"It was like being in the A team." Ali told us.
The team flew a flag from the top of the Shard, but it was too windy to unveil their artwork. However, the climb itself was an inspiring work of performance art in itself. This protest really does seem to have the perfect balance: it was so crazy even those who might have dismissed it can't help but be struck by the daring of it, which has got people talking. The team put themselves through it all for something they felt strongly about, and the least we can do is have a look at what they are fighting for.

Here I go again, spreading filthy rumors. Do you ever wonder how rumors get started? This is how...the RUMINT (that's rumor intelligence for you non government types) is that both Jim Leavitt and Dick Bumpas have been seen in town. Do I believe the person who told me? Maybe, he was off by a zero on the large donation this fall, so take this with a grain of salt. Discuss.
Also, wondering about the coaching shuffle? Follow the bouncing ball.
Sean Snyder to TE coach.
Mo Lattimore to Sean's position.
Brad Franchione to Mo's Dline position.
Leavitt to DC, no word on "Co" or otherwise.
So that's what I kind of sort of know. If you have any better insight throw it out there in the comments.

Nobel laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz told London's Chatham House today that the Iraq war has so far cost the United States $3.3 trillion, and that those costs are the "hidden cause of the current credit crunch" and housing crisis. Stiglitz added that "[t]he money being spent on the war each week would be enough to wipe out illiteracy around the world" and "[j]ust a few days' funding would be enough to provide health insurance for US children who were not covered."

Multiple tweets and news reports suggest Dwight to Dubs an option, maybe even without losing our key guys!!!
Looks like Howard wants a title, more than chicken fingers and TV shows and lower taxes.
Might be down to Dubs and Rockets.
If we had Dwight, Lee, Barnes, Klay and Curry as a starting five - we'd be favored in the West for the finals.
Initially, I was anti-Dwight. But, given MJ's presence as preacher/coach, the fact that this squad would be the best he has ever been with, how his mere presence only opens up shots for the splash brothers, the potential for DHoward to the Dubs also puts Lake show and Rockets in the rear view mirror, making Spurs and OKC only threats (maybe Clip show).
I think our locker room, and our players, could handle the Dwight effect.

Let's get back to the latest bomb shell scandal out of Troy because this will be the story of the day (if not of the week) in the entire sports world. The story is big enough that even the LA Times...
The top lines from Yahoo! Sports bombshell that many have been hinting at for a while on message boards. Apparently Tim Floyd was (allegedly) directly paying off his program building recruit...
By now, perhaps there has been a final ruling. But the tentative ruling by the court was to deny the motion to compel arbitration on the grounds that there was no evidence that the plaintiff (Lake) was at all a party to the arbitration agreement. If the tentative ruling holds, it means that the case will continue to be in court and it will be difficult for the Bush side to keep whatever information that comes out from the NCAA. In a victory for the Bush side (Griffin), however, the court denied the plaintiff's request for further responses to additional interrogatories and sanctioned the plaintiff $2,720. The request for further responses was deemed untimely and there was a failure to properly meet and confer. I assume the sanctions were for abuse of the discovery process by the plaintiff.

By Nick Kenney - bio | email
MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - A Memphis man has been charged with first degree murder in the death of his girlfriend's two-year-old daughter.Officials said the incident happened late Friday afternoon while Calvin Jones, 23, was watching his girlfriend's children.
According to the affidavit of complaint, Jones is accused of beating the 2-year-old girl, identified as Saniiyah Kuykendall, with "a basketball shoe" as punishment because she defecated on a floor.Kuykendall later died from her injuries.Also jailed was Kuykendall's mother, Anisha Alford, on charges of aggravated child abuse and aggravated child neglect.Police say, once home, Alford knew that Saniiyah was spitting up, cold to the touch, and complaining of being sick the rest of the night. A witness visiting the apartment noticed the same, and that Saniiyah's eyes were rolling back in her head, her eyelids fluttering.The visitor told Alford that Saniiyah needed to go to the emergency room, but according to the affidavit of complaint, Jones and Alford, "decided against seeking medical attention and went to sleep for the evening."By Saturday evening, Saniiyah Kuykendall had died in her bedroom.
Tuesday, Jones was being held in jail without bond. Alford, meanwhile, was still being held on $7,500 bond.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
How friendly is your state to small business owners? Apparently very friendly, if you live in Utah or Texas—and not so friendly if you live in California. Utah took the top honors as the friendliest state to small business while Texas had three of the top five cities in the latest survey from Thumbtack.com and the Kauffman Foundation.
Ask an expert which university has the leading university-based technology innovation ecosystem in the world and you are likely to hear them say "MIT." A ranking of 120 universities that demonstrate a "decisive impact and significant contribution in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation" has pointed to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as the world leader.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week.
The nurturing of new and young firms has so far not been given much attention in prominent global gatherings. International government meetings have mostly concentrated on passive SME policy and others like the World Economic Forum have treated entrepreneurs as a side ring at the circus. The maturing of the Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC) to fill this gap is thus a welcome development.
The innovation performance in European Union countries is on the rise—cutting in half the gap between it and the United States. However, the internal gap between EU member nations is widening.
Since its inception, Start-Up Chile has received a considerable amount of attention for its search for bootstrappers who receive equity-free seed capital of $40,000 and a 1-year work visa in the South American country. Recently it announced the opening of its seventh round of applications—looking to select, fund, and host up to 100 startups while giving them access to a global network for those determined to make their projects global.
Both houses of Congress are still in Spring recess and will return next week. While reports differ on exactly how close Republicans and Democrats are to a deal on immigration reform, you can expect to hear a lot about the subject when they return—and in the weeks ahead.
Last Friday, the Global Entrepreneurship Congress adjourned in Rio de Janeiro, ending a week of intense sessions that engaged over two thousand people from 130 countries in discussions around building stronger entrepreneurship ecosystems back home. While the Congress included Global Entrepreneurship Week host country delegations, investors and entrepreneurs, it opened last Monday with a new session for policymakers and researchers. The experiment was a success and ended with a commitment by organizers to make government policy a mainstay of the annual Congress in the future.
In what some might consider an ironic twist, technology seems to play a lesser role in building a local entrepreneurial community for startups than good old-fashioned face-time and word of mouth.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Edwin Maysonet
Fri Jul 27, 2012 8:35 pm Brewers designated INF Edwin Maysonet for assignment.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Brewers needed to clear two spots on the 40-man roster after Friday's Zack Greinke trade, and Maysonet was one of the causalities. The 30-year-old hit .250/.297/.350 with one homer and four RBI in 30 games with the Brewers this season. Assuming he passes through waivers, he will continue to serve as organizational depth at Triple-A Nashville.
Fri Jun 22, 2012 4:00 pm Brewers optioned INF Edwin Maysonet to Triple-A Nashville.
Fantasy Source Spin: Maysonet has batted only .250/.297/.350 in 30 games for the Brewers this season. He has a good shot at getting another chance later this summer.
Sun May 27, 2012 4:03 am Brewers recalled INF Edwin Maysonet from Triple-A Nashville.
Fantasy Source Spin: He'll be used as infield depth with Cesar Izturis (hamstring) on the disabled list.
Sat May 26, 2012 8:46 am The Brewers will recall INF Edwin Maysonet from Triple-A Nashville prior to Saturday's game.
Fantasy Source Spin: Maysonet was optioned earlier this week when Cody Ransom was claimed off waivers. He'll be used as infield depth with Cesar Izturis (hamstring) on the disabled list.
Source: Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Wed May 23, 2012 5:00 pm Brewers optioned INF Edwin Maysonet to Triple-A Nashville.
Fantasy Source Spin: Maysonet has tallied just three hits in 21 at-bats this year in the major leagues. He's organizational depth.
Sat May 12, 2012 4:41 pm Edwin Maysonet went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Saturday's win over the Cubs.
Fantasy Source Spin: The grand slam was set up when Cubs manager Dale Sveum decided to walk Travis Ishikawa intentionally to load the bases. It was just his second career home run. Maysonet made the start at second base on Saturday after Rickie Weeks was hit in the left wrist by a pitch during Friday's game. X-rays came back negative and Weeks is considered day-to-day, so Maysonet isn't worth owning in fantasy leagues.
Sat May 5, 2012 7:42 pm Brewers purchased the contract of INF Edwin Maysonet from Triple-A Nashville.
Fantasy Source Spin: Maysonet was batting just .214/.309/.286 in 99 plate appearances this season at the Triple-A level, but the Brewers need bodies in the wake of Alex Gonzalez's knee injury.
Sat Mar 31, 2012 1:21 pm Brewers reassigned INF Edwin Maysonet to minor league camp.
Fantasy Source Spin: Maysonet, a non-roster invitee, batted .296 (8-for-27) with three doubles, four RBI and a stolen base this spring. The Brewers now have 27 players left in camp.
Tue Oct 25, 2011 4:31 pm Brewers re-signed Edwin Maysonet to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: He will also receive an invite to spring training. Maysonet, 30, batted .290/.347/.386 with three homers, 39 RBI and a .733 OPS over 436 plate appearances with Triple-A Nashville this season. The Brewers don't have much depth at the shortstop position, but it would be surprising if he actually makes the Opening Day roster.
Mon Dec 20, 2010 6:23 pm Brewers signed INF Edwin Maysonet to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: Another big splash by the Brewers. Maysonet, 28, was designated for assignment by the Astros in September after batting batted .252/.312/.331 with two home runs and 36 RBI in 302 at-bats with Triple-A Round Rock in 2010. He's unlikely to make the Opening Day roster.
Wed Sep 22, 2010 3:40 pm Astros designated INF Edwin Maysonet for assignment.
Fantasy Source Spin: Maysonet, 28, batted .252/.312/.331 with two home runs and 36 RBI in 302 at-bats with Triple-A Round Rock this season. He is capable of playing all the infield positions, but he simply hasn't hit enough to justify having a spot on the 40-man roster.
Wed Feb 10, 2010 6:48 pm The Astros will try to get Edwin Maysonet some action in the outfield this spring.
Fantasy Source Spin: The 28 year old is hoping to make the team as a utility player despite a career .711 OPS in the minors. He can handle every infield position including being quite adept at shortstop, a position in flux for Houston. If he can put together a strong showing with the bat, a bench spot may be secured.
Source: MLB.com
Wed Jul 29, 2009 2:18 pm Astros optioned infielder Edwin Maysonet to Triple-A Round Rock.
Fantasy Source Spin: Maysonet has hit .309 in 55 at-bats for the Astros this season, and should play more regularly in the minors for now. His departure makes room on the active roster for right-hander Bud Norris.
Tue Jul 28, 2009 8:58 am Edwin Maysonet is expected to rejoin the Astros on Tuesday after missing the last several games to be with his wife in labor.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Astros decided against placing Maysonet on the bereavement list for some odd reason. He's batting .309/.350/.400 in 55 at-bats this year.
Source: Houston Chronicle
Mon Sep 1, 2008 8:26 pm Astros purchased the contract of infielder Edwin Maysonet from Triple-A Round Rock.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Astros are bypassing a semi-prospect in Tommy Manzella and longtime major leaguer Tomas Perez to bring up the 26-year-old Maysonet, who hit .271/.343/.379 for Round Rock. It could be the only major league time that he ever logs.

Towson – Congressman John Sarbanes announced that Corman Construction Inc., an Annapolis based company, was awarded a $30.7 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act construction contract from the National Park Service to rebuild the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on the National Mall. This project which will begin in late 2010 is expected to last 18 months and to support approximately 62 jobs primarily in Maryland.
"This investment will put people to work while reconstructing and restoring a centerpiece of America's front yard," Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said. "The work on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool will reduce water use, cut maintenance time and cost, improve access, and bring the site up to the standard Americans expect of their National Mall."
Although the Lincoln Reflecting Pool is the back drop for millions of photos, it is in dire need of repair; the pool foundation is settling and it has poor water quality. Once rebuilt the pool will be equipped to re-circulate and cleanse the water, to maintain clean water. The restoration project also includes rehabilitation of the historic granite steps in the plazas in front of the Lincoln Memorial. The north and south walkways that run along the Reflecting Pool between the Lincoln and the World War II memorials will also be paved. Finally, the project will include a new lighting system and additional benches along the walkways.
Based in Annapolis, Corman Construction is a fourth generation family-owned and operated heavy construction company. Corman Construction has worked on many projects in the metropolitan Washington area including, the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge and rehabilitation of the National Park Service's historic Monocacy Aqueduct.

TVNewsCheck reports that Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer is currently shopping it's new multicast network KIN TV, which will target the African American Audience. KIN TV may soon be in competition with Bounce TV, which just premiered this past Monday, September 26.
KIN TV, marketed as a diginet, plans to offer a "wide range of programming designed to entertain, inform and inspire a broad audience of modern African-American viewers." According to a promotional video presentation, the network will also "include both African American and mainstream content on the network….We're Americans, as well as African Americans." It will also offer "a mix of lifestyle, drama, comedy, mystery and local news," and the programming will "focus on topics such as home, travel, cuisine, parenting, work and relationships."
MGM, who launched the successful This TV network with the joint venture with Chicago-based Weigel Broadcasting, is known as a strong player in the diginet business. The studio is also said to be partnering with media consultant and TV executive Lee Gaither, who is also CEO of KIN TV, according to his LinkedIn profile. Gaither helped establish the African American TV One cable network.
According to the promotional video mentioned in the report, the new diginet also plans to produce content in local markets.
The recently launched Bounce TV targets African Americans ages 25-54, and offers a varitey of programming which includes theatrical motion pictures, live sporting events, documentaries, specials, inspirational faith-based programs, off-net series and original projects.
It's still early to know the potential effect KIN TV will have Bounce TV. No word on when the network will officially launch. Stay tuned...
Rodney Eckholm | May 5, 2012 7:24 PM
Lee Gaither is known throughout the TV industry as a fraud, con man and liar. The only folks who will do business with him are the ones who don't know him. Or know enough about him.
MGM ought to make a couple of phone calls to the agencies and places he worked until fired.
Replace. Always room for more Black channels.
FilmDreams | October 4, 2011 10:14 AM
Ok I appreciate the effort from MGM, I do.
I also hope this creates new opportunities for diverse programming.
But KIN TV??? KIN??
Translation, "all my KIN FOLK gonna be watchin that new channel!"
Why tho?
Who is coming up with these station names? Because they need some help. Bounce, Kin.
Eric | October 4, 2011 2:59 AM
Actually in answer to Rodney, let me answer my own question. Ted Turner bought MGM, sold back the studio and kept the library. So MGM the studio no longer has access unless they pay for it.
Eric | October 4, 2011 2:55 AM
Pardon, but aren't MGM's titles all owned by Time Warner and being repurposed on TCM?
JMac | October 1, 2011 10:19 AM
Those are my hopes too Rodney.
Don't get the MGM hate. Doesn't sound like anything no other studio has done. And I not about to throw out my Hollywood Shuffle, Barber Shop, and Hotel Rwanda videos either.
Rodney | October 1, 2011 8:35 AM
@ Miles - As far as KIN TV, MGM will likely repurpose alot of the black titles in their library. Overall, however, I think this is a unique opportunity for independent content creators to enter the fray and seize the moment. Showing old movies & TV shows can only get these networks so far.
Miles Ellison | October 1, 2011 2:39 AM
Where is the content for all these black networks going to come from?
eshowman, the cranky TV fan | September 30, 2011 12:56 PM
MGM profited from the blaxploitation craze and the dropped black audiences as soon as the were profitable again. They can bite me, but most black folks will not know this and be happy that another channel is available.
Darla & Mark | September 30, 2011 11:22 AM
I would not and will not support MGM, not one penny of mine.
JMac | September 30, 2011 11:08 AM
Wow look at all the attention we're getting! Doesn't it make you feel special,like having five different guys ask you out for the same night?

Each year Operation Homefront hosts a Back-to-School Brigade to help service men and women get their kids all the school supplies they need. Fairchild Air Force Base is saying thank you to that organization and to our community.
The work Operation Homefront does is essential to the service men and women at Fairchild and on every military base, and they could use your help. It's a worthy cause; serving the men and women that serve Americans like you and me everyday.
Boxes of backpacks are loaded into Michael Anderson Elementary. Soon, around 300 students will fill those bags with all they need for their first day back.
"School's coming and families are going out and they are here to provide school supplies for my enlisted Airmen and that's outstanding," said Colonel Brian Newberry.
Colonel Newberry is commander of the 92nd air refueling wing and he couldn't say enough nice things about Operation Homefront.
To him, what the organization provides is more than just a nice gesture.
"Bottom line, as we speak right now, we have airmen overseas fueling freedom or defending freedom across our world. So what Homefront provides is in providing support for the families back here. The airmen overseas can focus on their mission because they know their families are being taken care of," said Colonel Newberry.
"They have enough stress and worries on their plates as it is with their husbands and wives being deployed and they are at home trying to take care of their families. If we can step in and help supplement in any way, that is what we are here to do," Colonel Newberry added.
Kari McClellan travels to bases all over the Pacific Northwest organizing events like the Back-to-School Brigade, among many others. To pull it all off, Operation Homefront needs military towns like Spokane to step up.
"We have a great need for volunteers in this area to help us run events like our Back-to-School Brigade. We have our holiday toy drive coming up starting in November. Having volunteers here that can help to put those in place are essential for us to continue our mission," said McClellan.

The state of Iowa is cutting over one million dollars in funding for programs assisting domestic violence and sexual assault victims. In the QCA, shelters serving Davenport, Clinton, Muscatine, Burlington, Keokuk, and Iowa City will now have to share fewer funds and services.
So shelters are scrambling to raise money to help keep the doors open locally for victims.
The clock is ticking for Clinton YWCA to raise $100,000 needed to keep the domestic violence shelter and services running. If they don't meet that goal, the responsibility to care for victims here could fall onto local communities instead.
"The burden of taking care of the victims is going to fall on the police department, on the court system, on the hospitals," YWCA Executive Director Lori Freudenberg says.
The Clinton Police Department gets between 8 and 12 domestic disturbance calls a day.
Without the help of the YWCA taking victims in, officers may have to use more resources to help victims on their own.
"They're going to have to transport these women to the nearest shelter which probably at this time is going to be Davenport," Freudenberg says.
Last year, the YWCA helped over 800 women and children in need, 800 women and children who will have to go somewhere else if this shelter closes.
Police say they may have to work out a transport agreement with other agencies if that happens. With the department already facing staffing cuts, the greater responsibility would stretch resources.
"The expense of not only a police officer to use his time to travel back and forth but the gas and the transportation," Freudenberg says.
Others will have to take on the burden too.
"We also wrote last year over 200 protective orders, so if we're not here to do that, that's going to fall on the court system to have to do that," Freudenberg says.
So far, the organization has gone to local churches, city councils, and county boards to request funds.
Clinton County, the city of Camanche, and others have pledged to help.
"They see the importance of these services and there's so many people touched by domestic violence and sexual assault, it is just an epidemic," Freudenberg says.
But they still have a lot of work to do.
"This is an area we cannot afford to lose, it's going to affect all of us," Freudenberg says.
The YWCA staff hopes to raise the money by March. That's when the YWCA board will meet to decide what needs to be cut if they don't reach their goal.
The YWCA still needs your help, you can send monetary donations and other home goods for the shelter to:
YWCA, Clinton 317 7th Avenue South Clinton, Iowa 52732.
The shelter is in need of clothing, grocery store gift certificates, frozen meals, and more. You can find a list of items they need here: http://www.ywcaclinton.org/crisis-center.html
You can also contribute online here: http://www.ywcaclinton.org/mission-donate.html

Alabama commitment Cooper Bateman led his team to the 7v7 Championship at Nike's The Opening on Sunday with calm, cool, calculated performance.
It was an interesting dynamic to see Bateman grow more and more comfortable with his receivers through the course of the two day event. On Saturday he would take chances downfield, but he still seemed more comfortable playing it safe and conservative. Once he and his receivers became more familiar with one another, Bateman began making anticipation throws and really began showing off his armstrength.
Bateman was liberal with the ball, and it seemed each game, if not each drive, Bateman would have a different primary receiver from security blankets Ezekiel Elliot and A.J. Jackson at running back and tight end respectively to Ryan Switzer in the slot to the big plays from Torii Hunter Jr.
Bateman might not have the biggest arm of the quarterbacks in attendance, but he had more than enough arm to get the job done, and he was the steadiest performer across the two day event, culimating with a championship.
Here is a look at Bateman in (and his receivers) in action from The Opening.

- The Capitol Hill Times -
My girlfriend and I recently debated smart calories versus empty calories. I don't see the difference between a bowl of Lucky Charms (in her terms, "empty") compared to an apple with peanut butter ("smart"). They are both going to be high in calories. Is there really a difference between calories? – Andy
The quality of our calories has an impact on the performance of our bodies. A diet dense in fats and sugars can make us feel lethargic and apathetic, thus impacting our decision-making skills and energy for productivity. On the other hand, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, hydration, healthy proteins and polyunsaturated fats provides energy and alertness, which results in being engaged, inspired, and interested in the world around us, along with feeling good and experiencing optimal body and brain performance.
In the nutritional world, the terms "nutrient-dense foods" (commonly referred to as Smart or Super foods), and "nutrient-poor foods" (also known as empty calories), refer to the quality of the calories found in foods. The term "empty calories" refers to foods that supply energy along with high calories, but little-to-no nutrition. Nutrient-dense foods are high in nutritional values such as vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants, and are commonly low in calories.
If we want to feel good and experience sustainable energy throughout the day, nutrient-dense foods provide us with the vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals needed for high body, brain, and cell performance. The best consumption choices that we can make include foods naturally rich in nutrients, which come in every color of the rainbow: fruits, veggies, lean meats, poultry, seafood, eggs, legumes, unsalted nuts and seeds, for example, and as low-processed as possible.
Eating empty calories requires us to eat more food in order to gain our daily requirements vitamins and mineral. Empty calories include processed foods rich with sugar, fat, and unhealthy oils, which are all high in calories and very low in natural nutrients. And eating empty calories inevitably leads to weight gain, because to acquire the enriched nutrients, we need to eat a lot of empty calories. Empty calories leave us insatiate, and, often, we find ourselves still hungry a few hours later. Studies find that a diet full of empty calories increases the risk of obesity and diabetes.
Let's put this into perspective: One slice of pure whole wheat bread is approximately 70-75 calories and has, on average, 350 micrograms of natural vitamin E. To receive the same amount of vitamin E from regular enriched white bread, we would need to eat close to five slices. Those extra slices could add up to over 300 calories.
I'm going to use your Lucky Charms example, Andy. Looking at the back of the box, one serving is 3/4 cup of cereal along with 1/2 cup skim milk; together the calories add up to 155. The two combined also provide 170 miligrams of sodium, 22 grams of carbs, 2 grams of fiber, 10 grams of sugar, 10 grams of "other carbs" and 2 grams of protein. There isn't enough fiber, protein, or natural nutrition in this snack to make it worth the amount of calories consumed. And while the cereal is enriched with all sorts of vitamins and minerals, these nutrients are not naturally found in this food. In order for the body to actually absorb certain vitamins and minerals, the food needs to include or be paired with certain fats and proteins. And let's face it, Andy, the probability of pouring a bowl of cereal and milk beyond the suggested amount on the back of the box is high, thus the calorie, sodium, carb and sugar amounts will be even more.
Your girlfriend's suggested snack is one that may not be lower in calories but provides more nutrients for the calories. Half of an apple with a tablespoon of sunflower butter would provide a nutrient-dense food source, and would keep you full for much longer than the bowl of cereal. Substituting sunflower butter for peanut butter saves you an extra 75 calories per tablespoon and a few grams of saturated and monounsaturated fats.
An apple is, on average, 80 calories, and is rich in natural fiber (4 grams), vitamins (A, B, C, D, E and K), and minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium). One tablespoon of sunflower butter is roughly 70 calories, 4 grams of polysaturated fat (a healthy fat), zero sodium if it's a non-salted butter, has 4.4 grams of carbs, 3.2 grams of protein, and no fiber or sugar yet is high in natural calcium and iron.
And consider eating just half the apple with a tablespoon of the nut butter and drinking a glass of water. Not only will the calorie consumption be less, the nutrients will still be gained and water satiates the appetite.
The apple and nut butter is more nutrient-rich for 150 calories. While it's similar in calories to the 3/4 cup bowl of cereal, the cereal is low in fiber, protein and natural nutrients while being high in carbs, sodium, and sugar. Being aware of the quality of our calories will support weight loss or maintenance and better overall health and energy levels. The choice is ours alone to make, but it seems obvious that high nutrient-dense calories is a smarter way to go.

For The Herald Bulletin
PENDLETON, Ind. — Pendleton Heights' girls swimming team gave its coach, Jeff Maydak, something a little more special than just a win Wednesday night. The Arabians swam their way to a milestone by giving him his 100th victory.
Maydak took nothing for granted since Oak Hill had beaten his squad three out of the last five years, but there was a sense of urgency on his girls to win one for their leader, and they responded with a 108-78 decision.
"They've beaten us three out of the last five years, and last year came down to the last event where they had a chance to beat us in the last event. So I was taking nothing for granted," said the 11th-year coach.
He said, although his team isn't perfect, it might still be the best team he has coached with the amount of strong swimmers and depth that has been afforded to him.
A tie last season prevented this celebration from happening just a bit earlier.
"I was hoping to get to 100 in 10 years," said Maydak. "It took us an extra meet to get there, but it was a good milestone. More than anything, I think it shows longevity and a little bit of tradition, and I'm fortunate enough to coach a lot of talented girls. We've had a lot of great girls go through here the last decade, and we have more coming along the way. This is just a springboard to more wins."
It's hard to be humble when you've been as good as the Arabians coach, but his modesty wouldn't allow him to gloat during this celebration of his milestone.
"I'm also the boys coach that has a sub-.500 record," he said, putting his win into perspective. "Coaching only goes so far. You have to have the talent and, like I said, I've been fortunate over the years."
Maydak said there were a lot of girls that jumped out at him in their swims, but freshman Madison Brand was impressive in her first high-school meet.
"Madison Brand, new freshman for us in her first high school meet, was outstanding," said the Pendleton Heights coach. "She had three first-places and a second, but her times were off the chart. She had three personal bests, and they were not even close. So to do that out the gate was outstanding."
Maydak also said Madison Kordes' times were great, and it was a testament to the hard work she put in over the summer. He also said junior Micalah Booher and freshman Kristen Amrine swam really well.
He said this meet was nice, but it's too early to tell how good this team can be going forward.
"Momentum is only as good as the next opponent," he said. "I feel pretty good about this team. We set some pretty lofty goals. I'm not 100 percent (sure) they're all achievable, but we're certainly going to do our darndest to get there."
Maydak came into this meet with 99 wins and walked away with 100, but you can rest assured it is 100 and counting.

The Indiana Skills2Compete Coalition has released a new report that finds that there are a growing number of unfilled 'middle skills' jobs.
Part of the reason is that with Indiana's unemployment rate is stuck above 8 percent, more than 44 percent of Hoosiers between 18 and 65 have no post-secondary education at all, meaning that over 1.8 million Hoosier adults currently lack the skills needed to compete for jobs.
The report finds that the largest and fastest-growing segment of unfilled jobs requires somewhere between a high-school diploma and a four-year college degree.
These middle-skill jobs account for over 550,000 job openings in Indiana.
While 54 percent of all jobs in Indiana are classified as middle-skill, only 47 percent of Hoosiers have the skills and credentials for these jobs.
The group says that to solve the problem more financial aid is needed and that there needs to be more on the job training made available.

It's finally "done". I guess I'll call this a test build and redo it, because there are a LOT of things I hate about it at the moment:
If anyone is actually interested in the build, here you go: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/484320/Blender/jade_paper.pdo
But in all honesty, I would suggest against it because the build is still wonky.
Unfortunately a fixed version won't be up anytime soon, mostly because I'm low on time since I just started school. (Also, I'm lazy.) Another reason being I am thinking about getting a Silhouette Cameo soon so I won't have to worry about cutting out the pieces too much, but that's a definite maybe.
For the time being, I will probably be working on another model. It's probably going to be more the same-ish kind of stuff, but for now I'll keep that a secret.
Edit: Just added a picture of the aftermath of moving the stock. The gun isn't droopy anymore
hguriglerh this is still amazing.
