So I was extremely interested when Gaines recently wrote an open letter to legendary baseball slugger and home-run record holder Hank Aaron that appeared in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In the letter, Gaines implores Aaron ' who has refused to acknowledge or comment on controversial slugger Barry Bonds' quest to break Aaron's mark ' to congratulate Bonds and welcome him with open arms should he break the record. Gaines wrote to Aaron:
... You were not arrogant, as Bonds is. You did not take drugs, as some accuse Bonds of doing. You met the press, you spoke to reporters, you smiled, you signed autographs. You did the right things ' still you received death threats. And why? Because you are black.
And the reason they are after Bonds is because he is black. He has broken Ruth's record, and sometime during the year he will break yours, and they don't want this arrogant black man at the top of the national pastime.
We can't all be like you, Hank. We can't all be like Willie Mays (who is my greatest sports hero, with the exception of Joe Louis and Jackie Robinson). We can't all be like Jesse Owens. Some of us are arrogant. We feel that once we do our work on the field, that should be enough to satisfy the fans. And name me one baseball player who has contributed more to baseball than Barry Bonds. Name me someone who has walked more. Name me another player who has won more MVP awards than that same Barry Bonds. Still, the white media wishes to destroy him ' because he too is arrogant. All geniuses are arrogant. Bonds wears his arrogance on his sleeve. And the white world doesn't like it.
If you are black, you are supposed to be humble. A mediocre player would not get the attention Bonds is receiving no matter what he had done. He would be ignored. But giants like Bonds, Muhammad Ali, Jack Johnson are attacked by the media. I have never met Bonds in person. I don't even know if I would like him. But I do admire him as a great athlete. As I did you, Mays, Joe Louis, Roberto Clemente, Jack Johnson, and many, many others, both black and white. Sandy Koufax was one of my favorite ball players, even when he beat my home team, the San Francisco Giants.
Hank, think it over. Be there. Shake Bonds' hand. Take a picture with him. Applaud him. As we did you when you broke Ruth's record. Every black man in this country was proud of you. Most will be proud of Bonds when he breaks yours. I am sure that many Asians, Hispanics and white players will applaud his accomplishment. A pity if you don't join the rest of us.
Racial division, tension and inequality remain one of America's most shameful problems, and Gaines' novels address those problems with an eloquence few can match. But I disagree with the premise and much of the logic he uses in this letter, and requested to interview him in the hopes of some healthy dialogue regarding Bonds and race relations. To my regret, Gaines declined.
Yes, I am white and a member of the media, but I don't dislike Bonds because he's arrogant. I simply don't trust him, for the same reason I don't trust retired white slugger Mark McGwire, the first man to break Roger Maris' single-season home run record. McGwire later came under a cloud of suspicion for steroid use and was called in front of Congress to testify as part of a federal inquiry. Given the chance to clear his name and unequivocally state that he'd never used steroids, McGwire dodged the questions.
Bonds took the same evasive approach in his leaked grand jury testimony regarding steroids. In question after detailed question, including repeated attempts to ask Bonds why his name appears over and over on calendars, documents and chemical equations from the federally raided BALCO laboratory, Bonds deflected the questioning. "I never asked [trainer] Greg [Anderson]" about what the products contained, Bonds testified. "When he said it was flaxseed oil, I just said, 'Whatever.'"
It simply defies belief that the fanatically regimented Bonds, a man who trains relentlessly and methodically monitors his diet, didn't ask and didn't care what he was putting in his body. And that's just the tip of the iceberg; anyone who's read the exhaustively reported book Game of Shadows: Barry Bonds, BALCO, and the Steroids Scandal that Rocked Professional Sports knows that there's a mountain of incriminating evidence against Bonds. Until Bonds faces all the unanswered questions about his alleged steroid use, it's unfair to ask Hank Aaron to give Bonds his blessing.
On strictly a sports level, Gaines' argument that Bonds is treated negatively because he isn't humble is puzzling. There are numerous contemporary African-American athletes ' think Charles Barkley, Keyshawn Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal, to name a few ' whom I admire and who are beloved by fans and media alike precisely because they're brash and outspoken about not just their talent, but any issue they feel like addressing. As for Gaines' challenge to name one person who's done more for baseball than Bonds, I'm dumbfounded that Gaines implies that Bonds has done more for the game than Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente ' all heroes he cites in his own letter.
Last week, as I turned on the television with my 6-year-old and 4-year-old boys to watch Bonds try and tie Aaron's record, my youngest son Quinn asked his customary questions: Who's playing, who do you want to win, and why? I told him I wanted the Dodgers to win, because there was a man on the Giants I believed wasn't telling the truth about taking drugs.
My oldest son Evan thought about that for a minute and asked, "Dad, what are drugs, and what do they look like?"
That started a 15-minute talk I hadn't imagined having with my sons for years to come ' and I realized how many variants of that conversation have probably taken place in households across the nation in the last few years. And no matter what I think or what Ernest Gaines thinks about Bonds' rightful place in baseball history, that might be Bonds' greatest legacy ' he was the catalyst for bringing the unfortunate intersection of drugs and sports out into the open.

Toronto Pan Am Games: Opening ceremonies to be held at Rogers Centre
The launch of Toronto's Pan Am Games will be held July 10, 2015, with the Parapan Games opening Aug. 7 at the York Athletic Stadium.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The opening ceremonies of the Pan Am Games will be held July 10, 2015, at the Rogers Centre, TO2015 officials announced Thursday.
"That's the one the Cirque du Soleil will be producing for us," said Katherine Henderson, senior vice-president of marketing and revenue, after the TO2015 executive team presented its quarterly report.
A second opening ceremony will be held for the Parapan American Games, for athletes with physical disabilities, on Aug. 7 at the York Athletic Stadium, Henderson said in a teleconference.
With 7,666 athletes competing in 51 sports, the 2015 Games will be the largest international sporting event ever held in Canada and will be seen by hundreds of millions of people across the Americas and the Caribbean.
TO2015's budget for the Games — less than 600 days away — is $1.4 billion and CEO Ian Troop insists it will make history by being within budget, which critics scoff at.
"No international multi-sport Games has ever met a contrived bid book budget and TO2015 is no exception," Toronto's Paul Henderson, a former member of the International Olympic Committee, said in a strongly worded letter to David Peterson, chair of the TO2015 board.
Certainly, figures at some events have climbed for any number of reasons since the original bid books, but Troop said the Games are on track to come within the budget.
"We are quite proud of the work we have done. It is coming in well under budget at this point," he told reporters. "That's why I call it an unprecedented accomplishment."
Meanwhile, the province has acknowledged that taxpayers will be on the hook for much more than that — at least $2.5 billion — when other things are factored in like the athletes' village as well as security and transportation for the athletes who will be participating in events at 50 venues in 14 communities.

The electronics titans square off in a tangled tale of mobile technology, centered on Apple's iPhone
Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
Subtly improved and smartly refined, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a superior superphone that hits every mark but the sharpest design.
See how the newly unveiled Apple iPad Air 2 compares to its Android tablet competitors: the Google Nexus 9 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a lot for its winning stylus.
Place your bets, folks. Which of these phablets will reign supreme in the battle of design, usability and productivity?
The smartphone giants settled their patent suits outside the US. But that may mean they'll pay even more attention to Apple's home turf.
The battle of the phablet phones begins with a test of their built-in cameras that come equipped with optical image stabilization. Which phone takes the best shot?
With its slim design, fantastic screen, and oodles of power, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a superb smaller tablet, and a worthy competitor to the ever-popular iPad Mini.
The third quarter was dandy for Samsung in the US, but researcher CIRP says the iPhone 6 should propel Apple back into the lead in the final three months of 2014.
Samsung's swooshing Galaxy Note Edge is a triumph of novel design, but its high price tag and minimal extra usability make for a niche appeal.
Apple and Samsung will have one hour each to present more testimony Monday, rather than wrap up evidence Friday, because of an appeals court ruling related to one of the patents at issue in the case.

Fuente Crop in Andy Garcia Film
David Savona
Posted: June 15, 2006
Garcia filmed part of his movie at Chateau de la Fuente, the sprawling tobacco farm where the Fuente family grows wrapper for its Fuente Fuente OpusX cigar, as well as other leaf.
The movie wasn't filmed during tobacco season, so the Fuentes grew a special crop of tobacco for the scenes.
The film is set in Cuba just as it enters the throes of revolution. The Havana-born Garcia, who appeared on the cover of the April 2004 Cigar Aficionado, stars and directs.

Albinus - rich, married middle-aged and respectable - is an art critic and aspiring filmmaker who lusts after the coquettish young cinema usherette Margot. Gradually he seduces her and convinces himself he is irresistible to her, but Margot has other plans. She wants to be a film star, and when Albinus introduces her to the American movie producer Axel Rex, she sees her chance - and plotting, duplicity and tragedy ensue.

Vintage 1978 Harmony H6360 Folk (blues Monster!)
This is a vintage & RARE 1978 Harmony H6360 Folk guitar w/ Case.
We think you'll love this vintage Harmony guitar in VG+ condition & ready to play! This 30+ year-old guitar plays and sounds terrific. I'm not sure about the history of these guitar(s), but the headstock is of a two-piece construction (see pics). This might be a repair but appears to be original. The installation of a bridge doctor really flattened out the top and increased the sustain of the guitar. At some point in the past someone installed a wood post at the top of the sound hole (see pics). There are two unfilled holes at the base of the neck where strap buttons were once installed. This guitar has just been setup with new Elixir strings and sounds great. There is moderate fret wear at first three frets with plenty of life remaining. The string height of the low E at the 12th fret is 5/32" with some saddle left. I would classify this guitar as "ready-to-play" with no further work needed. This guitar will ship in vintage chipboard case.
I'm starting this guitar at $1.00 with NO reserve. The high bidder will win this fine instrument and this auction will not end early.
The shipping price is for UPS Ground insured for full value to United States addresses only (note: I will consider shipping Worldwide to buyers with good feedback). I will pack this guitar with great care. (Please note: PayPal only.)
Please feel free to ask any questions before bidding! I can be reached at LuckyGuitar.com! And as always... Peace and luck! (:

Underrated Joe Flacco said before the season that he thought he was the best quarterback in the NFL, and he backed up his self-confidence by leading the Baltimore Ravens into the Super Bowl.
The strong-armed Flacco threw three touchdown passes through blustery wind in a second-half surge that carried Baltimore to a 28-13 road victory over the New England Patriots in Sunday's AFC championship.
Flacco has shown impeccable timing as the 28-year-old shifted his salary drive into high gear as his initial five-year US$12 million deal expires after this season.
"I assume everybody thinks they're a top-five quarterback," Flacco told a Baltimore radio station last year. "I mean, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'm top five, I think I'm the best.
"I don't think I'd be very successful at my job if I didn't feel that way."
Flacco was initially mocked after making those statements, but has put his self-confidence into action as demonstrated when he explained a change in approach discussed by the Ravens during halftime when they trailed the Pats 13-7.
"We hadn't gotten much going on offence. Our defence was playing really well, it was still a six-point game, all we had to do was go down and put the ball in the end zone," he said.
"We felt like we had to score, had to put pressure on the (defensive backs), put pressure on the linebackers in coverage. We knew we had to come out here in the second half and make some plays in the passing game with some of our guys."
As the saying goes, it is not bragging if you back it up.
Before last season, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning told ESPN radio he considered himself an "elite" quarterback, and then backed it up with a Super Bowl triumph that brought him MVP honors for the NFL title game.
Flacco needs one more win to follow the script.
"I've always believed in Joe," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said about the quarterback taken 18th overall in the 2008 NFL Draft. "Joe's a great quarterback. He's proven that, and he's not just proven that this year, he's proven it for five years."
When he entered the NFL, Flacco ran a conservative offense for a Ravens team built on a stifling defence. As he matured and the veteran defense aged, he has grown into the leader of an offense now regarded as the most potent unit on the team.
The quarterback from the unheralded University of Delaware football program may not have intended to be taken literally about his boast of being the best, but his dynamic postseason has forced doubters to reconsider his status.
Through three playoff games this season, he has thrown eight touchdown passes and no interceptions, outdueling number one overall pick Andrew Luck of the Colts and future Hall of Famers Peyton Manning of the Broncos and the Patriots' Tom Brady.
During the second round of the playoffs, Flacco heaved a 70-yard touchdown pass in the last minute of regulation against Denver to force overtime and set up a Ravens victory.
Flacco has a 8-4 career record in the playoffs, becoming the first quarterback to win at least one playoff game in each of his first five seasons and moving past Eli Manning into top spot on the NFL list of road playoff wins by a quarterback with six.
He has not been too shabby in the regular season either, with 54 regular-season wins in his five seasons. This season he threw for 22 touchdown and 10 interceptions.
"He is one of the elite quarterbacks," Patriots safety Steve Gregory told reporters. "I know he gets a lot of flak for not being that type of guy, but he is."
Team mates were already Flacco believers.
"I'm a little biased because I've always been a Joe Flacco fan," said linebacker Ray Lewis.
Receiver Anquan Boldin, who caught two of Flacco's TD passes against the Patriots, was not surprised by his performance.
"I don't know why people keep doubting him because the bigger the situation is, the bigger he plays," said Boldin, who has also reached a Super Bowl with the Arizona Cardinals.
"And he's proven that time and time again. So maybe they'll get off his back now."

Crosby Says He Will Not Boycott All-Star Game; Addresses Hits To Head
Published January 19, 2011
STILL UP IN THE AIR: The GLOBE & MAIL's David Shoalts reports despite Crosby dismissing the report, his presence at the All-Star Game "remains up in the air." NHL VP/Hockey & Business Development Brendan Shanahan said that Crosby "told him 'he wanted to do as much as he can' for the showcase event but they did not discuss his attendance" (GLOBE & MAIL, 1/19). In Toronto, Chris Stevenson writes Crosby "would be doing the game a service if he were to stand up and say he's skipping the all-star game because he doesn't think the NHL is doing enough to protect its players from headshots." There is "nothing like having the game's best player speak up ... and skip one of the league's showcase events to get the game's business managers in New York to take notice" (TORONTO SUN, 1/19).
HEAD GAMES: The GLOBE & MAIL's Stephen Brunt notes Crosby yesterday "took a simple open-ended question and ran with it, he went off-script, he said there was something fundamentally wrong with the way the NHL identified and penalized head shots." Crosby: "When I look at those two hits, you talk about blindside, that's a big word, unsuspecting player, there was no puck there on both of them. It was a direct hit to the head on both of them. ... I know it's a fast game. I've been hit a thousand times. When you get hit like that, there's nothing you can do. There's no way to protect yourself." Brunt writes Crosby's comments were "startling because it was the NHL's meal ticket talking, its poster boy, its current great hope for expanding the game's reach beyond its hardcore following" (GLOBE & MAIL, 1/19). In Pittsburgh, Shelly Anderson notes the NHL has suspended two players "due to head hits" since Crosby was injured. Crosby said of the league, "It's something they're aware of. The last week or so, I think there's been a couple of suspensions for hits to the head. It's something they're trying to be active with. I think that's the right thing to do" (PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE, 1/19).
TIME FOR UNION INTERVENTION: In Toronto, Damien Cox writes it is "great that Crosby always wants to be an ambassador for the sport and try to say the right thing." But Cox added of the NHL Winter Classic, "When you're standing in a rainstorm on New Year's Day insisting conditions are great for hockey, somebody's taking advantage of you." What Crosby "really needs is for his fellow NHLPA unionists and the organization's new leader, Donald Fehr, to collectively demand action." The union right now "generally only acts on issues with dollar signs attached," and the players "just seem intent on injuring each other until someone -- anyone -- steps in" (TORONTO STAR, 1/19).

Well & Good
The idea of an over the counter pill to improve mental wellbeing has a lot of appeal - after all, one in five of us will have a problem with mental health at some time in our lives, especially anxiety or depression. But can supplements or herbal remedies make much difference?
"We're seeing an increase in the use of complementary medicines for mental health conditions, but while some have evidence that they work to some degree, others have very little data to support their use or none at all," says Senior Research Fellow Dr Jerome Sarris from the University of Melbourne's Department of Psychiatry.
"People need to know which products have proof to back up their claims and be aware of potential interactions with prescription drugs."
Price is another issue. Some products like omega-3 fats might not break the budget, but S-adenosyl-methionine (SAMe), a supplement promoted as helping depression, can cost as much as $70 a week.
Dr Sarris has shed light on the evidence for complementary medicine and mental health with a report in the latest issue of Australian Prescriber, an independent review of drugs and therapeutics published by the National Prescribing Service.
Let's start with herbs for anxiety. Some research suggests a benefit from traditional remedies like ginkgo, passionflower, chamomile, skullcap, lemon balm and bacopa, but it's still very limited, he says - and while St John's wort gets a tick for improving depression, it's not recommended for anxiety. There is evidence for an anti-anxiety benefit from kava, a plant native to parts of the South Pacific, but the downside is concerns about liver toxicity which saw kava withdrawn from the UK and Europe. While kava products are allowed in Australia at certain doses, they should be used with guidance from a health professional, Dr Sarris says.
Besides St John's wort, the supplements and herbs with the most evidence for depression are omega 3 fatty acids, zinc and two supplements with complicated names: S-adenosyl-methionine (SAMe or 'sammy'), a chemical made in the body and thought to enhance production of mood-enhancing brain chemicals, and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) - an amino acid with antioxidant properties that may help improve depression for people with bipolar disorder.
But despite omega-3 fats' anti-depressant reputation, it's not clear yet what formulation is best or at what dose - and if you're shopping for an omega-3 supplement to improve mood, it helps to know which fatty acid may be most useful. While the brain needs both EPA (eicosapentanoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), it's supplements containing EPA or mainly EPA that seem to have the most anti-depressant effect, according to Sarris.
Is the evidence for any of these products strong enough to convince doctors to recommend them? It's hard to know but probably only a minority of psychiatrists would do so, says Professor Philip Mitchell, Head of the School of Psychiatry at the University of NSW, and Professorial Fellow with the Black Dog Institute.
"Most clinicians have an open mind and if something works they'll use it, but the problem with many of these supplements is that the research is still evolving and the evidence still isn't strong," he says, adding that St John's wort is one exception - the evidence that standardised extracts of this herb help with mild, but not severe depression is good.
"There is Australian research that found n-acetylene cysteine helpful with schizophrenia and with depression in bipolar disorder. It's an antioxidant and there's a lot of interest in psychiatry in the possibility that oxidative damage to the brain may contribute to schizophrenia and depression, including bipolar depression. But again we need more studies in larger groups of people," he says.
And SAMe? Although some studies have found it helps depression - and one small trial found it improved the effect of anti-depressants - the jury is still out, according to Mitchell.
"With zinc, some studies show that people with depression have low levels of zinc, but it's not clear yet if this a cause or a result of depression. But there is evidence that diet has a role in mental health - although it's early days, there are large epidemiological studies showing that the Mediterranean diet may help protect against depression," he says.
A diet of mainly processed and 'junk' food as opposed to a wholefood diet of lean meats, fish, whole grains, fruit and vegetables may be a risk factor for mental disorders, adds Dr Sarris - but while there's evidence for some herbal and nutrient supplements to improve some symptoms of mental health problems, adding these supplements to the diet hasn't been shown to prevent these disorders.
"If you have a problem with mental health then diet, exercise, sleep and social factors are all important," he says. "Some supplements may have a place too - but it's important to see them as part of an integrated approach and not a magic bullet. "

Downtown, or MTV's Downtown, was an animated series on MTV on urban life, based on interviews with real people. The show followed an ethnically diverse cast who live in New York City, and presents their everyday lives through quirky, humorous, and imaginative perspectives from the characters. It was created by Chris Prynoski, a former animator on Beavis And Butthead, and produced by David McGrath. In 2000, Downtown was nominated for an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Animated Program.Like many of MTV's other cartoons, it lasted only one season of 13 episodes. All released between August and November, 1999. There has been an outcry for a DVD release of the series. The use of an original score rather than licensed music would make such a DVD release easier. Prynoski sublimated the lack of an official Paramount DVD release by way of offering a promotional DVD via his blog, which includes all episodes of the series in DVD quality.The creators of the series would go on to do Megas XLR, in which Goat is a recurring character, complete with the same voice actor.

Editorial: No excuses, make Affordable Care Act sign-up work
Millions of Americans need access to medical coverage via the Affordable Care Act. Resolve the computer problems, quickly.
Seattle Times Editorial
THE successful launch of the Washington Health Benefit Exchange in Olympia stands in sharp contrast to the high-tech turmoil in the other Washington.
Millions of Americans want and need health insurance, including a Spokane woman who joined President Obama on Monday, but epic frustrations drained the joy out of the moment.
The federal government has spent nearly $400 million to build the national health-care exchange, but all the money, time and development did not prevent massive problems.
Only the harshest opponents of the Affordable Care Act refuse to acknowledge the scale of the challenge. The federal system is verifying applicant income from federal sources and interfacing with local Medicaid and record systems in 33 states, which include some openly hostile to Obamacare.
Still, a program with the highest expectations, and need, must deliver.
Even Washington state's homegrown system, wahealthplanfinder.org , had its own glitches the first 48 hours. Intense troubleshooting resolved issues with pages loading and applicants running out of computer time to complete their forms.
Since Oct. 1, 35,500 state residents have enrolled, and an additional 70,000 have applied with payment pending.
The federal website: 476,000 applications, no enrollment numbers released.
The launch of our state's system had the support of lawmakers and the governor. All that helps. But the Healthplanfinder website was also designed to be easy to use, with access and review like a familiar online-shopping experience.
The federal system needs to be mindful of its customers and match consumer expectations.
The other Washington had understandable troubles with sheer traffic volume. But massive interest was expected and desired, and should have been accommodated.
President Obama delivered a plan that was endorsed by Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court.
Now make it work. No excuses.
If schedules, deadlines and penalties need to be adjusted as technical glitches are fixed, do that as well.

Mentor Embedded Accelerates High-Performance Signal and Image Processing Application Development with Support for MATLAB and ARM Platforms
WILSONVILLE, Ore., December 10, 2012Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the availability of its latest Mentor® Embedded Sourcery VSIPL++ product. The Sourcery VSIPL++ product adds support for ARM v7 Cortex A with NEON single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) processing platforms, and an interface to MATLAB® for signal and image processing algorithm conversion. This MATLAB interface allows users to easily convert algorithm models into VSIPL++ compliant C++ code and to verify the correct function of the deployed code on a specific target system.
The Sourcery VSIPL++ product is an open standard, high-level C++ image and signal processing library for high performance computing (HPC) applications. The new product allows users to express algorithms in high-level C++ code, to improve application speed performance and software development productivity for signal and image processing algorithms used in embedded systems while simultaneously ensuring application portability across a wide variety of compute platforms. Key applications for VSIPL++ include radar for military-aerospace, medical diagnostic imaging, and computer vision for industrial control and automotive markets.
Mentor Graphics and the Object Management Group (OMG) have been working closely on advancing the VSIPL++ specification as a global standard for compute-intensive applications targeting embedded systems. Last month, the OMG officially adopted the VSIPL++ specification, marking a smooth and rapid integration of the High Performance Embedded Computing Software Initiative (HPEC-SI) efforts and the OMG Technology Adoption Process. The overall mission of HPEC-SI is software portability to enable "write-once/run-anywhere" capability for high-performance embedded computing applications.
VSIPL++ is an important step forward for interoperable, portable, reusable applications in the high-performance computing space, the last bastion of non-portable applications, said Richard Mark Soley, chairman and CEO of the Object Management Group. Theres no reason developers for HPEC systems should live without the write-once/run-anywhere standards deployed in other markets, and Mentor Graphics Corporations leadership role in creating VSIPL++ stands out in support of HPEC developers.
Our Mentor Embedded team is proud to be a key contributor to OMGs initiative to standardize the VSIPL++ specification, said Glenn Perry, general manager, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division. We expect that the newest enhancements to the Sourcery VSIPL++ product, which incorporate this standard, will benefit the growing number of developers working on compute-intensive applications.
