Sabathia beats Price; Yanks top Rays

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — CC Sabathia pitched seven innings for a rare win at Tropicana Field, leading the New York Yankees past David Price and the Tampa Bay Rays 10-2 Thursday night in a matchup of former AL Cy Young Award winners.
Sabathia (2-2) allowed two runs and seven hits, improving to 2-7 in 12 starts at Tropicana Field since joining the Yankees in 2009. He lowered his ERA to 5.19.
Price (2-1) entered 6-1 in nine starts against Sabathia but gave up six runs and 10 hits in five innings. Sean Rodriguez hit into a triple play and had a solo homer for the Rays, who have lost four straight.
Brian Roberts, Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and rookie Yangervis Solarte drove in two runs each for the Yankees, who have started 10-6 for the fourth consecutive year.
Roberts and Ellsbury both had run-scoring triples, and Derek Jeter hit an RBI single during a three-run second that put the Yankees ahead 4-0.
Alfonso Soriano and McCann made it 6-1 with consecutive homers during the fifth. Solarte added his first major league homer, a two-run shot off Grant Balfour in the ninth
Tampa Bay got a run in fourth when Logan Forsythe scored on McCann's passed ball, beating Sabathia's attempted tag at the plate. Rodriguez homered during the seventh.
Rodriguez grounded into a triple play for the second time in his career. The Rays had runners on first and second in the second when Rodriguez hit a hard grounder off Sabathia that Solarte fielded, and he stepped on the third to retire Evan Longoria.
Solarte threw to Roberts at second base to get Wil Myers. The play ended when Scott Sizemore, who had not played first base in his previous 658 professional games, made a nice scoop of Roberts' relay throw.
It was the first triple play hit into by the Rays since Rodriguez grounded into one on Aug. 16, 2011, at Boston.
Sabathia was pitching the previous time the Yankees turned a triple play, on April 12 last year against Baltimore.
New York got a scare during the third inning when right fielder Carlos Beltran flipped over the short wall down the right-field line chasing Desmond Jennings' foul ball. Beltran stayed in the game.
NOTES: Tampa Bay senior adviser Don Zimmer is recovering from seven hours of surgery Wednesday to repair a leaky valve in his heart. ... Jeter made a diving catch on Myers' drive to shortstop, starting a fourth-inning double play. ... Yankees 1B Mark Teixeira (right leg) is expected back Sunday, while closer David Robertson (groin) could return Tuesday. ... New York RHP Hiroki Kuroda (2-1) and Tampa Bay LHP Erik Bedard (0-0) are Friday night's scheduled starters.

Scottsdale motorists had unexpected company on Lone Mountain Road Monday afternoon when a plane was forced to land because of mechanical problems shortly after takeoff.
The single-prop airplane had a 35-year-old pilot and his 19-year-old student on board when it left Scottsdale Airport at about 12:15 p.m., according to Scottsdale police.
The pilot touched down a short time later on Lone Mountain, just east of Scottsdale Road, then continued west until coming to a stop in the 7400 block of Lone Mountain.
"The pilot chose that road because of the fact it was the least traveled of the roads in the area," said Officer Dave Pubins, a Scottsdale police spokesman. "He saw Lone Mountain had very few vehicles at the time."
No injuries were reported in the incident. The only damage came from the plane's wing clipping a speed limit sign, police said.
The Federal Aviation Administration was due to be at the scene to investigate at about 3 p.m., Pubins said. The plane, which is owned by CRM Aviation in the Scottsdale Airpark, is expected to be cleared away by 4 p.m.
Apart from a few curious motorists pausing to check out the scene, traffic was traveling unimpeded along Lone Mountain Road Monday afternoon, Pubins said.
"There's a lot of people just stopping and taking photographs," Pubins said. "It's unique to have an airplane on the roadway."

A funny thing happened to me on the way down the FM radio dial ...
It was Memorial Day Weekend. I happened to flip past "oldies" station KOOL (94.5 FM), and it seemed like I was hearing all '70s music (songs from my childhood, of course) being broadcast from some sort of pool party event.
"The '70s Saturday Night Splashdown" is what they were calling the show. "We've commandeered a pool at an undisclosed location in a self-important gated community on the south side of Camelback Mountain," the recorded promo voice said as I listened the following weekend. "(A)nd we're playing the greatest hits of the '70s, poolside ..."
And, yes, it sounded like a party.
The host provided on-air "shout outs" ("here's one for so-and-so in Scottsdale" and "thanks to the gang at the Mesa Police Department for listening at work"). And while he never said where the "KOOL pool" was, the background sounds of people chattering and cheering, glasses clanking and pool splashes all gave the impression that a party was happening.
So I called the host at KOOL's business office the next Monday.
Greg "Third Degree" Burns has worked at Valley radio stations for nearly 20 years. Along with KOOL, his creative genius is behind KMLE (107.9 FM), and dance music outlet KZON (101.5 FM) (all three of the stations are co-owned by the CBS Radio Corporation). "The '70s Saturday Night Splashdown" was not only his brainchild, he also programs, produces, and markets the show.
But where's the pool?
"I can't tell you that," he initially said on the telephone.
Now understand this: CBS Radio is a publicly traded corporation. KOOL's programming streams worldwide on the Internet, and is broadcast on one of the most powerful FM radio signals in the U.S. On average, the station generates about $20 million in advertising revenue each year.
And this federally licensed, corporate-owned, lucrative radio broadcasting outlet is handing over the reigns every Saturday night to a guy who supposedly does a show from beside a swimming pool. Somewhere. Supposedly.
Burns eventually gave me an address to report to last Saturday night, and I showed up. Yes, he broadcasts from beside a pool. And yes, there is most certainly a pool party going on.
"Nobody knows '70s music better than me," Burns told me with a grin (I used to say that about myself until KFYI talk show host J.D. Hayworth conquered me during an impromptu trivia contest - it'd be fun to hear Hayworth and Burns match wits on this stuff sometime). "But most importantly, we're having lots of fun, the show is making lots of money, and both the station and our advertisers are getting enormous response," Burns said.
The show secured a summer-long endorsement from a new, ready-to-serve margarita beverage being introduced in the Phoenix market, and Burns and his colleagues also landed several sponsorships from - you guessed it - pool contractors. In fact, "The '70s Saturday Night Splashdown" show has already helped sell a few new pool construction jobs.
So why not go public with the show's location? "For now, there's a mystique surrounding the 'undisclosed location' approach," Burns said. "But our original plan was to give away a party and a broadcast, and we're definitely staying with that plan." You can register at KOOLRadio.com for a chance to have Burns perform the show beside the pool in your backyard. Or wherever.
So tune in and log on, Saturday nights from 7 p.m. until midnight. It's one of the most creative radio shows to hit weekend airwaves in a long time. Even if it's still 102 degrees on a Saturday night, it always feels great inside the KOOL pool.

Average spot rates in the eastbound trans-Pacific trade stayed flat this week after a jump of 8.6 percent last week fueled by demand for space. Shippers seeking to avoid any possibility of labor disruption on the East Coast turned to West Coast services.
When the International Longshoremen's Association and United States Maritime Alliance agreed to extend the existing contract for another 90 days, importers breathed easier, because they could get their remaining peak-season shipments in through East Coast ports, so demand slacked off.
The Drewry benchmark for shipping a 40-foot-equivalent unit container from Hong Kong to Los Angeles stayed at $2,711 this week, signaling a leveling off of demand.
"Now that the (strike) threat has receded, rates will fall back as load factors deteriorate, even taking account of anticipated winter service suspensions," Drewry Supply Chain Advisors said in a bulletin released Wednesday.
Nevertheless, trans-Pacific spot rates this week remained at their third-highest weekly level of the year. The benchmark is 35 percent above the level it was in mid-April prior to the commencement of this year's contracting season.
Other U.S. import trades have also seen strong rate inflation. "Pricing between South Asia and the U.S. East Coast is now at its highest since Drewry first started publishing rates on this trade in the Container Freight Rate Insight back in 2006," it said.
Drewry said weakening market conditions bode well for importers and exporters approaching the 2013 contracting season. "Next year's shipping bill will not be as high as it looked a few months ago. But cargo owners should still expect to pay more than they have in 2012."

'Popular' Cast Reunites 11 Years Later, Raising $30K for AIDS Walk
Eight actors from Ryan Murphy's first series, which aired from 1999 to 2001 on The WB, stage a long-delayed reunion on just two weeks notice.
The TV landscape has changed a lot since Popular ended in 2001. Creator Ryan Murphy now has his own empire, The WB is just a memory and the cast has scattered to the scripted winds, with starring roles on series such as Covert Affairs, Malibu Country and GCB.
But after more than a decade-long hiatus, eight of Popular's stars reunited in Los Angeles on Sunday for the 2012 AIDS Walk in West Hollywood.
PHOTOS: The 'Popular' Cast Reunion
"Leslie Bibb and I were talking, and she said she'd been approached by AWLA to do AIDS Walk," actress Tamara Mello tells The Hollywood Reporter. "She suggested we get the cast back together for it, so we just started contacting everybody -- and everybody did it."
Everyone entailed eight members of the primary cast: Carly Pope, Bryce Johnson, Tammy Lynn Michaels, Anel Gorham, Christopher Gorham, Sara Rue, Mello and Bibb. And despite the short notice, the group met Sunday morning, snapped photos alongside other actors and celebrities going out for the walk and went out for a group lunch afterwards at the Abbey in West Hollywood.
Mello, who played Popular's vegetarian activist Lily Esposito, says the money they raised has them thinking they might even do it again -- next time, with more notice.
"It was the first time we've all been together in over ten years," she says. "And we raised $30,000 in just two weeks... It's kind of crazy."
The cast, many of them active on Twitter, led the call for donations on social media, where much of the feedback came from fans who weren't even old enough to watch the show its first time around.
"I wasn't really surprised by hearing from the original fans," says Mello. "The show has a cult following, but now there's a new generation of kids in high school watching the DVDs."
Many of those kids, no doubt, came to Popular from Glee. Of all of Ryan Murphy's series -- Nip/Tuck, American Horror Story and New Normal among them -- the Fox musical is most kindred to Popular, his first show.
"Ryan was always a force to be reckoned with," Mello tells THR. "He's got this brilliant mind, and he's constantly moving on. He's never complacent."

I read all the reviews I could find before purchasing this and was a little nervous. I had read from some reviewers that it needed special attention, smoked too much, and/or burnt food. When you receive your "rotisserie", unpack it and place on HIGH (without lid) for 15 mins. OUTSIDE! It will smoke and smell bad while it burns off the oils and such from the packing. After that, wash the parts and the inside of the main body and it's ready to go. While cooking it will smoke slightly, but not enough to set off smoke alarms (our smoke alarms are extremely sensitive) or bother people. You can always turn on your kitchen vent if you have a problem. I sprayed the removable elements with cooking spray as instructed, so clean-up was super easy. The most important advice I can give is to ignore the recommended cooking times in the booklet. I can cook an 8 lb. chicken in 60 min. (30 min. on high, 30 min. on low), the booklet suggests that it would take twice that long. I suspect that any reviews of food burning are because of the recommended cook times, use your meat thermometer. Also don't let the meat touch the three heating elements, or those parts with burn (use butcher's twine if needed). The meat turns out browned and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I love this product!
Love using it! Bought one for my husband and another for my father for father's day!
I bought this because we live in the desert and I don't like to use my oven in the summer but I love to cook chicken. This is my first experience with a rotisserie and Kalorik. I found it an exceptional appliance. The chicken comes out grease free and falling off the bone. The fact that it's totally quiet means I don't have to listen to the grinding of a spit turning. The rotating heat on the meat makes this appliance completely free of noise. I like cooking chicken on it the best, you can put a rub on your chicken and it just seals in the juice and tastes great. The skin is crispy and all the fat drains off of it because it's standing and the fat is collected in a tray on the bottom. Putting the chicken on the post is very simple and so is taking it off. When you turn it on you forget about it but in a short time you start to smell this great seasoned chicken cooking, worry and work free. It's great if you are having company for dinner because while it cooks you have free time to do other things. Be sure to spray the interior and all parts that the chicken touch with a cooking oil in order to make it work free to clean. I use olive oil cooking spray. You can have a 5 pound chicken cooked in about an hour and a half, so nice. I would and have recommended this to everyone. I'm 75 and love to cook and love my Kalorik. I have nothing but good things to say about my Kalorik cooker.
Cheap and fast. Gets the job done right. I would recommend!!!
to hard to get roast through middle element and with glass cover i find to much steam build up.In my opinon not worth the money.

Modern Combat 5: Blackout (iOS|Android) is the latest sequel from Gameloft's popular first-person shooter franchise, and it's the best FPS for mobile to date. Featuring both a single-player campaign and multiplayer game modes, it's closely modeled after the Battlefield and Call of Duty games on consoles and PCs, but while it looks great and plays well, it still doesn't live up to the games it emulates.
Is that a surprise? Not really. It's incredibly difficult for a touchscreen FPS to compete with the precise control systems on consoles or keyboard-and-mouse setups. So one thing you need to know right away is you won't have the tight control you might be used to in other FPS games you've played.
The other thing you need to know about Modern Combat 5: Blackout is you can't play offline, so if you don't have Internet connectivity, you can't play even the single-player missions.
Single-player campaign
As in most modern first-person shooters, you predictably play as an elite super-soldier whose job is to save the world by clearing out terrorists until you face an insane and brutal boss bent on world destruction. The single-player campaign includes a few different game types you'll encounter as you progress through the game's chapters and unlock new equipment.
On your journey, you'll start in Venice, Italy, to learn the ropes. From there, you'll continue to a temple in Japan, then fight through the streets of Tokyo, then back to the canals of Venice, then back to a neighborhood in Tokyo. The graphics and animations are better than those of most games on iOS and looked great on the iPhone 5S and even my iPad 2 (the game requires at least an iPhone 4S, iPad 2, or 5th-gen iPod Touch to play). Each of the main missions is more or less on rails, requiring you to fight through enemies until you clear an area, then move on to the next until you complete the mission objective at the end. This is true for most FPS games as you're guided through the storyline, but be aware that you'll never go far from the beaten path.
Each chapter in Modern Combat 5 also has other game types to complete before you can unlock the next chapter (or area) of the game. These include special-ops missions where you'll clear rooms one after the other in quick succession, and multiplayer missions where you'll play with other Modern Combat players from around the world. Each of these side missions will help you unlock the next chapter, so you'll need to at least dabble in a few game types outside the main storyline to move on in the game.
New in Modern Combat 5: Player classes
In the previous installment of the game, Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour, you could take class specializations that would give you perks to help you play as a sniper, demolition expert, support, and other types of soldiers, but it wasn't broken up into classes. Modern Combat 5 takes customization a bit further toward games like the Battlefield franchise with set classes. Before a fight, or after dying, you can choose from Assault, Sniper, Heavy Assault, or Recon. Each of the classes has a number of weapons and accessories you can unlock by playing the game and gaining experience.

What..work with NO residents?? - page 2
Ok question. I have only worked in L&D in teaching hospitals..and am not considering taking a position at a small hospital with No residents. No 24hr anesthesia...but an OB in the house. The RNs do all assessments concerning... Read More
- 0Sep 5, '12 by HeartsOpenWideQuote from jodyangelIf you work in a small hospital, where you assess pts in possible labor, and send them home based on your assessment, or are involved in transporting a patient to a higher level hospital (either a laboring mother or a sick newborn) you need to know. EMTALA violations cost the hospital tens of thousands of thousands of dollars. If the ambulance arrives to transport your patient and you checked her an hour ago, you better check her in the stretcher before she rolls out, if she becomes complete or arrives pushing at the next facility...your name was on the chart that the woman was stable when in fact she wasn't. We got an early labor patient from an hour and a half away from another hospital (which was VERY rural and had no L&D) who came in private car; big no no. The list goes on of stuff you have to know. In a rural level one hospital, EMTALA is a word we all know.Ok read it..but just seemed like alot of legal mumbo jumbo..what and how does this act apply to Me??
- 0Sep 13, '12 by passionflowerThat's a tricky scenario especially when I have seen patient's stay at 2-3 cm and then change pretty quickly from 4-10. Labor is so unpredictable. Charting and more charting before discharge to r/o labor. I'm always terrified I will send someone home that ends up delivering in the parking lot.
- 0Sep 15, '12 by MKPRNI work at a hospital exactly like the one you describe except no OB in house. I work nights and the only doctor in house is the one in the ER. However, when things are going down we don't call the ER MD. All of our OBs are 5-10 minutes from the hospital and I work with and amazing staff of nurses. I love where I work and have great nursing skills. I feel like I get to use my judgement and experience better here than I would at a big hospital. All the nurses in my department do l&d, postpartum and nursery. We all stabilize infants if they need a transfer to NICU. Many of my doctors have told us in an emergency they would rather have one of us as a nurse with them than at the big hospital nurses with a NICU because we have such versatile skills.
Is it scary as hell? Sometimes. But I don't try to avoid the idea of something bad happening. I just try to make sure we are always prepared for worst case scenarios walking in the door. During down times I am checking and stocking rooms, making sure everything is ready to go. I can go through our infant crash cart in my sleep. I try to keep myself educated and up to date. I always end up doing quadruple if not more than my required CEUs. We also do lots of drills and scenarios.
I firmly believe that God watches over us here at my little hospital. It seems like the worst always happens at shift change so there are extra hands on deck. We have delivered as early as a 29 weeker here. The down side is there are somethings I will never see (and hope never to see) here because those high risk patients are taken to the big city hospital. I have bagged lots of babies and had some pretty serious situations in l&d. In my 10 1/2 years here I still have never delivered a baby, lots of my coworkers have though. But if it happens I will be able to handle it because I am ready.

Mergers and acquisitions are an everyday occurrence among today's global businesses, and most of them present complex challenges at several levels of the enterprise. While the CEO is working to define the culture and direction of the combined company, the CFO is merging complex accounting systems. And while human resources is busy integrating new employees, the CIO is plotting strategies for consolidating everything from servers to network systems to mobile devices.
Few executives, however, have faced a merger as complex as the formation of Vivo. In 2003, after the privatization of Brazil's telecommunications industry, six companies began offering mobile communications services under the Vivo brand name. The resulting joint venture combined the wireless business units of the six companies into a single entity with a single goal: to serve and exceed clients' expectations.
Today, after just over five years of existence, Vivo is the largest mobile communications provider in the southern hemisphere, with a client base of more than 46 million, and one of the most recognized brands in Brazil. It has the country's best customer satisfaction rating and leads the industry in compliance with proposed quality standards being considered by the regulatory body Agêncía Nacional de Telecomunicações (Anatel).
From public to private
Vivo's CIO Christiane Edington built her career in the telecommunications sector at Telebahia, a government-owned telephone monopoly operating in the northeastern states of Bahia and Sergipe. Over more than 10 years, she served in a variety of roles and was leading the IT infrastructure team when the company was privatized.
"With this change, I suddenly moved from a relatively small organization to a very large one, and from the public sector to the private sector," Edington remembers. "These changes created a totally new and challenging environment for me."
Edington also faced the challenge of being one of the few women to serve in a senior IT role—an area traditionally dominated by men. During some of the early years, she was one of only a few female executives in the company. "Nowadays it is very positive to see the increasing number of women working in leadership roles," she notes.
Merging cultures
When Vivo was formed, Edington was invited to relocate to the São Paulo headquarters to help build a new, consolidated IT infrastructure. "People from several areas of the country came together here," Edington recalls. "It was an interesting time as I came to better understand the diversity of Brazil and enjoyed the experiences we shared in those days. Of course, the six companies had different IT policies, systems, infrastructure, and processes, but we also had six different cultures."
Edington has no doubts that the efforts to merge these cultures were worthwhile. "Brazil is a diverse country, and it was enriching to have all of us together in one place," Edington continues. "It really helped us learn to be a single company that was born as a market leader and has kept that position."
Consolidating systems and processes
Edington's first role at Vivo was with the development team, where she played a key role in early consolidation efforts. Later, she was appointed head of IT Governance, where she developed a common architecture standard, implemented standardized policies and procedures, and oversaw risk management.
In 2008, Edington emerged as a natural choice for the position of CIO. Her background at Vivo went back to the beginning, and her achievements and projects in the IT group were well known. Her distinguished education included two M.B.A. degrees—one in business management and one in IT governance—and her grasp of both technical and business issues facilitated effective communication with everyone from system administrators to executives.
Strengthening security
Security is a pressing concern everywhere, but it is a top priorityfor Vivo. "We work with strategic business information and with confidential client data at several touch points," Edington says. "Security has become even more important as our policies place more focus on customers and their satisfaction—and Symantec has been a key partner in developing these strategies."
Vivo relies on Symantec Endpoint Protection to protect its 16,000 desktops, laptops, and servers. For Vivo's messaging system, Symantec Brightmail Gateway filters spam, protects the network from email-borne malware, and has decreased email storage costs by significantly reducing the amount of email on the server. "We filter 80 percent of our total incoming email volume," Edington asserts, "which makes a huge difference."
For reporting on compliance with regulations, standards, and policies, the Vivo team relies on Symantec Control Compliance Suite, which has been implemented on database servers that support Sarbanes-Oxley environment systems.
"We believe in our partners being connected and tuned in with our business, and when it comes to security, Symantec has become our most trusted partner," Edington asserts.
Protecting customer data
In 2008, Edington faced the challenge of another merger—this time with Telemig Celular—and the expansion of its operations to six of Brazil's northeastern states. This latest merger has presented an opportunity to test another Symantec solution that was in use at Telemig Celular—Symantec DataLoss Prevention.
"With the integration, we are now conducting a trial of the solution on a nationwide basis," Edington explains. "We believe that this is the next step in keeping confidential information secure, because it can automate enforcement of policies regarding the use of our customer data."
Optimizing the data center
Edington's team also depends on Symantec solutions in Vivo's data center environment. Veritas NetBackup is one of Vivo's solutions for data protection, and the IT team is testing Veritas Backup Reporter, with the objective of automating reporting and capacity planning of their backup environment. "We want to make sure the data is ready to restore when needed," Edington says.
The IT team standardized approximately 20 percent of their servers on Veritas Storage Foundation for volume and file system management. The solution has optimized storage management and reduced costs by enabling the conversion of some servers to a Linux platform. For high availability, Veritas Cluster Server protects Vivo's key systems with activeactive clustering.
"The greatest benefit of these solutions is the ability to standardize," Edington asserts. "Having a robust solution to protect data and manage storage across all platforms saves my team time and money."
Robust systems for demanding customers
The Vivo IT team's accomplishments to date have been impressive—so much that the Brazilian edition of InformationWeek recently named Edington a 2008 CIO of the Year. However, she refuses to rest on her laurels
"This is a very competitive market, and optimizing time-tomarket is crucial to achieve commercial success," she observes. "Mobile users demand real mobility. We need to meet their connection needs for voice, data, SMS, and mobile broadband anytime, anywhere."
"So, much more than in an ordinary company, IT is at the core of our business. And that is why we can never stop," she concludes.
Mark L.S. Mullins is a managing editor of CIO Digest and manager of Symantec's Global Customer Reference Program team.

CSI Review: What's Up Doc?by Jim Garner at . Comments
We learned more about Doc Robbins home life than we witnessed in the last two seasons combined on this episode of CSI. That's saying something, given how close Langston and Robbins got during Ray's tenure.
It was nice to meet Doc Robbins' wife. It was about time, right? I was thrilled that "Genetic Disorder" took the path less traveled by having Judy be faithful to Doc and the murder actually not related to an affair.
It would have been easy for the writers to put an affair into a show where we have never met the spouse of a long-running character. We see it all the time because they feel it makes "good TV." But I'm glad a program like CSI can achieve the same effect via different means.
Drams such as Burn Notice, Justified, and Leverage have raised the bar for crime programs several notches, resulting in the audience not being as tolerant to the same old tropes. Look no further than Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior for a perfect example of a crime series that had a built-in audience and should have succeeded with ease... but came up short - and cancelled as a result.
The only disappointment for me in this episode was actually a result of CBS hyping it as The countdown down to Catherine Willows departure all week and then only getting about two minutes of this character when she spoke with Greg. Why start hyping her departure on an episode she was barely in?
Speaking of Greg, bravo to him for being able to keep an open mind and let the evidence tell him what happened. While DB and Morgan were also unbiased, they have not known Robbins as long as the rest of the team, so they had no problem keeping it all at arm's length.
It looks like this is our last episode for 2011. CSI will be back in Mid-January. I hope you all have wonderful holiday season and I will see back in in 2012 for the real countdown to Catherine's departure.

Great recap. I was waiting to read it until I'd actually watched the episode. I've been having trouble keeping up with C.S.I. and a few of my other favorites because of my schedule. But luckily, I found dishonline. It's a streaming site set up by my employer, DISH Network, and it's a lifesaver in those kinds of situations. It has a ton of shows and movies to watch at your convenience, and a lot of it's even available to non-subscribers too, so I definitely recommend taking a few moments to check it out.
Lenore, do you mean the song Judy is listening too? Its "I can't make you love me" by Bonnie Raitt (http://youtu.be/nW9Cu6GYqxo)
What is the name of the song at the finale?
i didn't get the whole hype behind Catherine's departure as we only saw her for maybe two minutes at the most.

"'M*ASH' is everybody's favorite show — no matter what generation you're from, everyone knows what 'M*ASH' is," director Sherry Ingbritsen said. "Everybody has their stories about their favorite line, their favorite character. I know it's been done before, but I've always wanted to do it. It's just a great story."
The version on New Dawn's stage was adapted from the 1970 movie, but Ingbritsen made some changes to the script.
"We actually added some things to the story," she said. "There are so many people familiar with the series opposed to the movie, so we actually added some things in the play that are from the series that weren't in the movie.
"For example, in the script, there is no Klinger. But 'M*ASH' with no Klinger? A couple of the lines were added … that people can say, 'I remember that one was said.'"
The play is set in South Korea during the Korean War at the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital. The plot follows the crazy cast of nurses, doctors and other military personnel during the war, treating the wounded as well as finding time to have some fun.
All of the favorites are there: Lt. Col. Henry Blake (played by Doug Isbecque), the cross-dressing chef Cpl. Maxwell Klinger (Marcus Weathersby), uptight Maj. Frank Burns (Bruce Saarela), the dentist Capt. Walter Waldowski (Scott Gassman), Capt. John "Trapper" McIntyre (Patrick Gallagher), Capt. John "Ugly" Black (Steve Werner), Korean house-boy Ho-Jon (Jean Andrade) and Corp. Walter O'Reilly, aka "Radar."
And of course Capt. B.F. "Hawkeye" Pierce (Steven Miller), Capt. Augustus "Duke" Forrest (Jay Croft) and Maj. Margaret "Hotlips" Houlihan create even more chaos when war isn't ravaging the area around the camp.
Ingbritsen and her husband, Paul, pulled out all of the stops for the set. Besides building the structure, the two took several trips to a store to find the real-deal gear.
"Everything on the set is authentic," the director said. "Everything is on there, foot lockers, cots, the mosquito netting, even the Red Cross — original from that era — we went to a military place out in Roswell and got everything. The guys worked with us for days and days. There are very few Red Crosses left in existence, so we were really lucky to get one for the show."
As for the future of New Dawn, the staff is still searching for a new place to relocate.
On March 11, the city of Duluth entered into an agreement with consulting firm Morris & Fellows to provide professional services for redevelopment planning to revitalize the downtown dining and nightlife district in the Old City Hall Block, now called The Block, where the theater is located.
"We've got a couple places to go see," Ingbritsen said. "We're still hoping beyond hope that they'll let us stay. They keep saying January, but they haven't given us any dates. We just don't know. We're hoping they're going to say go and stay.
"We're looking for new storage (which is currently in the Strickland House and Norcross Presbyterian Church). We have to pull our stuff out of the Strickland House by Sept. 10 because they're re-doing where everything is at, so we'll loose the shed space."
To help, visit New Dawn's website. The play runs through Sept. 8.

Rickie Fowler is honoring the late Payne Stewart by wearing an outfit featuring white knickers (or plus fours) and light blue, white and orange argyle socks during the first round of this year's Open.
"This week, you can't help but think about Payne Stewart and his win at the '99 U.S. Open (at Pinehurst)," Fowler told reporters. "I thought wearing the knickers, a look he was so famous for, would be a nice way to honor and remember such a huge golf icon, and someone I've always admired and looked up to.
"He had such an impact on the game both on and off the course; always gracious, win or lose. We will all be thinking about him this week."
Fowler plans on only wearing the knickers Thursday, he said. Stewart died in a plane crash months after winning the Open at Pinehurst.

The Horizon football team came out quicker than Nala, its two-year old Siberian Husky mascot which leads the team out of the tunnel to start the first and second halves.
On Homecoming Night Friday, the Huskies won their fourth in a row, a 63-34 romp of Scottsdale Desert Mountain. Horizon scored on the game's first play and answered a Wolves TD with a two-play touchdown drive.
Junior quarterback Dalton Sneed threw five first-half touchdown passes and scored another on a keeper to lead his club to a 42-21 halftime lead. In the first half, Sneed was 12-for-13 for 366 yards.
He finished 16-of-20 for 449 yards.
"Our offense was incredible," said Horizon coach Kris Heavner, whose club improves to 4-1. "I know (most people) just see us on Fridays, but from Saturday to Thursday, they come to work every single day with their hard hats and lunch pales."
It was bad timing for the Wolves. They not only were facing a Horizon team that came in averaging 51 points per game, they were doing it extremely short-handed. Six starters, some that play on both sides of the ball, including standout Mark Andrews, were out with injuries.
"I'm not going to take any credit away from (Horizon)," said Desert Mountain coach Tony Tabor. "They've been putting points on the board. We're going to have to fight back. There's a lot of football to still be played this season."
Tabor said some of his injured Wolves, including Andrews, who has committed to the University of Oklahoma, should be able to return next week when his club takes on Mesa Red Mountain.
Sneed threw three of his touchdown passes to senior receiver Spencer Marciniak. Senior running back Luke Quinn caught one touchdown pass and rushed for three more in the second half.
Marciniak had five catches for 154 yards, all in the first half. Quinn had four grabs for 127 yards and rushed eight times for 185 yards. Carter McCarthy had four catches yards. Horizon had 25 plays of 11 yards or more.
"(Sneed) was incredible," added Heavner. "Nothing against (Desert Mountain quarterback) Kyle Allen. He's a Division I kid, but I thought Dalton was the better player tonight. I think he's going to be a Division I quarterback, too."
Allen, who threw two touchdown passes and ran for another, was missing a few of his usual targets Friday and the Wolves relied more on their running back, led by Deion Warren, who finished with 40 carries for 200 yards and two touchdowns.
Allen was 6-for-13 for 44 yards and one interception.
Horizon 63, Desert Mountain 34
First Downs: DM 23, H 26

Pardew's heart-to-heart with Ameobi has an immediate effect
Pardew's heart-to-heart with Ameobi has an immediate effect 8:00am Saturday 23rd February 2013 in Newcastle United News By Scott Wilson IT was an impromptu meeting in the hours leading up to Newcastle's Europa League decider in Kharkiv, but it could turn out to have been one of the most significant moments in the Magpies' season. Having informed Shola Ameobi that he would be leading the line in the Metalist Stadium, Alan Pardew proceeded to spell out his disappointment at the striker's lacklustre recent displays when promoted from the substitutes' bench. I had a little quiet word with Shola because, in the last few weeks, I thought his contribution could have been greater,? Pardew explained. In response, Ameobi outlined his own frustration at the bit-part role he has been asked to play for much of this season and expressed confidence that he remained as effective as ever when played in his preferred position as centre-forward. There were no raised voices, no tempers running out of control. Instead, in measured terms, manager and player shared a frank exchange of views before shaking hands and agreeing to move forward. Less than 24 hours later, and the effect of the conversation was clear. Ameobi had delivered a polished attacking performance and claimed his 15th European goal in a Newcastle shirt; Pardew was able to start plotting for a last-16 tie with Anzhi Makhchakala. Understandably, both were content with their lot. It's the manager's job to get his players going,? said Ameobi. I was frustrated because I haven't played in my position much this year. I let him know that. I always give everything I have and play a professional game, and I think he knows that. But I haven't been in the team as much as I have been in the past, and that makes it hard to contribute. When you're only getting your chance in the last ten minutes, you try to do things that sometimes might not come off. I took on board what he said, as I always do, and made sure that I made him know I am still here. The manager is within his rights to say what he feels is right to his players, as I said my bit to him. I took it on board and made sure I gave a performance I was pleased with.? As the longest-serving outfield player on Newcastle's books by a distance, Ameobi has experienced a multitude of highs and lows during his time on Tyneside. This season has not been as tough as the 2007-08 campaign, when he was completely frozen out by Kevin Keegan and briefly sent on an unsuccessful loan spell to Stoke City, but it has nevertheless proved challenging for a player who accepts he is gradually approaching the end of his playing days. Ameobi has made just four Premier League starts all season, and while his appearance record in the cup competitions is much more impressive, there is clearly a considerable degree of frustration at his peripheral status. He has rarely been an established first choice throughout his career, deputising for strikers as varied as Alan Shearer, Patrick Kluivert, Craig Bellamy and more recently Papiss Cisse and Demba Ba, but experience of life on the substitutes' bench does not make his current role any easier to take. I have never been happy being a bit-part player,? said Ameobi. He (Pardew) has known that all along. It is tough because you feel like you are auditioning to be in the team and that is not really what I want to be doing. I am happy to play where the manager wants, like playing on the right, which is probably not my best position, but which is where I have done the job. When opportunities have come, they have not always been in my best position in the team. I haven't felt match-fit this season, but that's because I haven't had the games and it takes games to get in my stride. That is probably what he means. I have not been at my sharpest, so it is important when I do get my chances that I show I am an asset to the team.? Ameobi will hope to get another chance when Southampton visit St James' Park tomorrow, although the availability of Yoan Gouffran could mean the 31-year-old finds himself back on the bench. While Thursday night's victory in Kharkiv provided one of the highlights of the season, the need for domestic points means tomorrow's game with the Saints is of even greater significance. Newcastle produced one of their worst performances of the season as they slumped to a 2-0 defeat at St Mary's in November, and with just one team separating the Magpies from the relegation zone, Ameobi admits there is an urgent need for a marked improvement tomorrow. Any defeat away from home is tough, and they did one over us,? he said. With our league position, it is important that we win our home games now, especially against the teams around us. The win in Kharkiv will give the team confidence. It is an art form playing in Europe in midweek and then winning your games in the league at the weekend, but the top teams seem to manage to do it and it is important we don't let the European game take away the focus from the weekend.?

Kate Gosselin hasn't spoken to her sister in years, and keeps her children from seeing their family.
We've all known that Kate Gosselin is almost as big of a famewhore as they come. She'll do just about anything to stay in the limelight (including whoring her kids out on national TV). There's a new story circulating today claiming that Kate has cut her children off from her family entirely. Kate's sister, Kendra Wilber, told the Daily Mail that she hasn't seen or talked to her sister in years. Kate's children have also had no contact with their grandparents, aunts, uncles or cousins. Kate has also banished all her old friends.
According to her sister Kendra she has not spoken to any of her family for years, completely shunning their efforts to reconcile and keeping them out of her eight children's lives.
Kendra believes her normal, everyday family just don't 'fit in' with Kate's money driven, fame hungry ambitions.
Kendra, 44, only lives a few miles away from Kate's home, but she has absolutely no idea what is going on in her sister's life, despite numerous efforts to re-establish contact.She is still reluctant to speak publicly, but does say she has always been concerned about the celebrity path her sister was taking and the people she started to surround herself with.
'Kate does not speak to her family at all. It is very painful', she said. 'In the past the people who were close to her were the people who were making money from her and we thought that was very dangerous.

Illustration by Joe Quinones
This past Friday, Vulture published an article titled "Everything You Need to Know About Thanos, Guardians of the Galaxy's Biggest Bad Guy." These "how to be a better nerd" tutorials and shortcuts into comic culture are popping up all over, offering an inside scoop on the intricacies of Marvel's universe. Similar posts regarding the characters and plotlines of DC's world are easily found with even the sloppiest of Google searches. Whether these guides are used to pregame the opening night of a film, support post-screening banter, or act as a gateway for someone looking to buy their first comic book, they are certainly contributing to the mainstreaming of comics.
While niche invasions are often scorned, maybe it's not such a bad thing. Full disclosure: I was a late bloomer to comics, and my introduction only occurred because of a crippling crush on Hugh Jackman, and subsequently Wolverine, and finally a curiosity about the source material. Certainly the appearance of Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill supporting the upcoming Man of Steel sequel at Comic Con San Diego will entice folks who otherwise wouldn't attend conventions to join in on the cosplay fun. While some Hollywood-crush inspired comic fans will lose interest as soon as said star departs the franchise (luckily for me—and to the displeasure of many—Jackman doesn't appear to be going anywhere), the mainstreaming of comics can spark a more general interest that extends beyond the cinema and into print pages. Furthermore, it may, be it a conscious choice or not, lead to a reader's support of local, independent artistry.
"It definitely feels like there's an uptake," says Joe Quinones, a Rhode Island School of Design alumni and Somerville-based comic artist who joins fellow local artists Erica Henderson, Shelli Paroline, Ming Doyle, Braden Lamb (to name a few) at Boston Comic Con this weekend. "It feels like in comics we are approaching a second renaissance. We had that in the 80s and it sort of apexed in the late 80s, early 90s. Then everything sort of overreached and imploded. The cool thing now is that comics are reaching a way broader audience."
This growing popularity is what allowed Boston Comic Con to make a sizeable upgrade to the Seaport World Trade Center, offering more space for the skills of artists and writers to be showcased and celebrated. Boston Comic Con remains a creative-focused mainstream show, and while it may lack some of the intimacy and local-focus of events like Massachusetts Indie Comic Expo (MICE), which sees its fifth installment this October, it still offers an opportunity for the mainstream mindset to be introduced to the individual creators.
While I support the popular infiltration of the comic world, I can concede that a lifelong love of comic books is pretty damn special and blows my cinematic entry à la Hugh Jackman's IMAX abs out of the water. "If an eight-year-old kid comes over and excitedly wants to show me some drawings he did, that's really awesome and really life affirming," says Quinones. "I totally believe in passing the buck onto the next generation, because that's why I'm really into comics. I left it behind for a little while, but I got into comics when I was a kid. I want to impart that joy on the next generation."

The residents of Chester's Mill have finally learned the obvious: They're under a dome.
Monday's episode of Under the Dome saw the town finally connect the dots, as Julia (Rachelle Lefevre) commandeered the radio station to announce what government officials had already figured out. Now comes the hard part, as the town begins to feel the suffocating realization that there's a good chance they could all die inside the dome — whether that means from the elements, like this week's house fire, or from each other remains to be seen.

Bite-size Meatloafs: Polpettine
In the 25 years I have been living in Italy, I have NEVER seen spaghetti and meatballs served anywhere.
In Tuscany we have polpettine, small meatloaves, Polpettone being a meatloaf: the ini ending means small and one- big!
Summer's heat requires light foods and things which taste good at room temperature as well as cold. I love the polpettine as their small size allows for quick cooking and not a lot of time over a hot stove.
Here is the simple recipe using ground beef. There are as many versions as there are cooks, often I make one using left-over boiled beef from bollito misto. You can also "stretch" the recipe by mixing mashed potatoes in with the ground meat.
Polpettine- Beef Croquettes
12 oz ground beef
2 oz grated parmesan
1 egg or more as needed to hold mixture together
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 Tbs chopped parsley
olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper
In a large bowl, mix beef with egg, cheese, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper.
Let sit one hour.
Shape croquettes into a small finger shape.
Roll lightly in breadcrumbs.
Cover the bottom of a pan with olive oil and cook slowly over low heat until golden, turning frequently.
Season with salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Eat now or if you can wait.... eat at room temp.

Funny that you should say about Meatballs and Spaghetti, it is something I make quite a bit, my family love it. Tomorrow I have to cook for group of friends that meet, and we are having just that!! :-)ReplyDelete
I love your observation about the spaghetti and meatballs! Funny. I also love the suggestion to flavor it with lemon. That sounds great.ReplyDelete
