text: 30 security personnel trained on child rightsFriday, July 08, 2011 The Child Protection Alliance (CPA) on Tuesday concluded a four-day training for 30 security personnel from the Gambia Armed Forces (GAF), the Gambia Police Force and the Immigration Department, on child rights and child protection. The training was specifically meant for officers serving as instructors in the security training schools, for them to transmit the skills and knowledge gained to their trainees.It was held at the Gambia Armed Forces Training School at the Fajara Barracks in Bakau. Speaking at the closing ceremony, Njundu Drammeh, national coordinator of CPA, said the training is meant to enhance the capacity of the participants in dealing with children. He expressed hope that the participants will also filter down the knowledge gained to the trainees in each of the earlier mentioned security units' training schools. He assured the participants of the CPA's support and collaboration and urged them to share the knowledge acquired from the training with their colleagues. "Our doors are always open; we will be more than willing to come and support you," he assured. For his part, Lieutenant Colonel Kawsu Sanyang of the Gambia Armed Forces, on behalf of the chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of GAF, said the security training schools are the key holders to the security services; that whoever is enrolled in the services, must pass through one of the security training schools. According to him, a careful selection has been done in the security service for those who will be sensitized on child rights issues. He however warned the security officers not to use the uniform on the pretext of protection whilst abusing the rights of children. "Children are supposed to be protected," he said. Ebrima Sama Corr, permanent secretary at the Ministry of Interior, stated that the training is designed to protect and nurture the well being of the future generation of this great country. He commended the CPA for the laudable initiative, adding that the security forces of this country constitute a formidable component in implementing government's efforts in children's protection and welbeing. "The government of The Gambia through its diverse strategies has given priority to the welfare of children, as in line with its Vision 2020 blue print, and Poverty Reduction Strategy Plans (PRSP) I and II. He assured of the government's resolve to continue protecting children at all times. Sub-Inspector Babucarr Njie of the Gambia Police Force delivered the vote of thanks.

Thousands Gear Up To Protect The Environment During Nationwide Togethergreen Volunteer Days
Dozens of Audubon sites nationwide will host TogetherGreen Volunteer Days in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day providing thousands of Americans with opportunities to take local conservation action. Volunteer Days are a centerpiece of the TogetherGreen (www.togethergreen.org) conservation alliance between Audubon and Toyota.
This series of Volunteer Days – part of more than 200 taking place annually – will occur in select cities across the country throughout April. Activities include habitat and trail restoration, river and lake clean-ups, invasive species removal, nest-box building, wildlife and plant surveys, and more.
"By connecting communities across America with the power to protect the resources that sustain us all, TogetherGreen Volunteer Days are building an ongoing continuing cycle of positive environmental impact," said Audubon President Frank Gill. "TogetherGreen volunteer offerings engage people of all ages, from every community and from all walks of life in forming a powerful and diverse constituency for conservation."
For a complete list of participating Audubon sites, please visit www.togethergreen.org/volunteer.
TogetherGreen Volunteer Days are designed to connect people with opportunities to make a conservation difference in their local communities. In only 18 months, nearly 14,000 volunteers have participated in volunteer events nationwide, contributing more than 66,000 hours to conservation projects. By building stronger alliances with other national and local organizations, Audubon hopes to attract new and diverse volunteers to help address pressing environmental problems and opportunities.
In addition, hundreds of Toyota employees and their families from across the country have participated in TogetherGreen volunteer events. Many more are expected to join continuing efforts throughout this five-year initiative.
"These events have been a wonderful opportunity for our employees to make a difference for the environment," said Pat Pineda, group vice president of Toyota Motor North America. "Our alliance with Audubon provides our employees, as well as so many others across the country, with the tools and information to bring conservation into their daily lives."

LAWRENCE — Eight residents of a two-family house at 9 Lafayette Ave., were rushed to the hospital late last night after what police said was a blaze that may have been sparked by an overly dry Christmas tree.
Several people had to jump from the second story of the burning building to escape flames that were so intense they melted the siding on five, adjacent houses in the crowded neighborhood off Broadway. The building at 9 Lafayette Ave. was completely destroyed in the 3-alarm fire and two nearby houses also caught fire. The fire began at approximately 11 p.m.
The people injured suffered from smoke inhalation and may also have been injured jumping from the building, police and firefighters said. Initially, police and firefighters were told people were still trapped in the 2-family house in a neighborhood in the southwestern part of the city not far from the Andover town line.
Lawrence police officer Miguel Romero said that when he arrived, "the whole house was in flames. The second floor was engulfed in flames."
He said the 8 residents from both families got out of the house.
He added, "I asked how the fire started, and they said it was the Christmas tree."
Lawrence Fire Chief Jack Bergeron said it may be some time before fire investigators determine the actual cause of the blaze, which caused fire damage to the two buildings flanking the home that burned.
"The fire did get into one of the buildings here on the left and did cause fire damage to the building on the right," Chief Bergeron said, as he glanced at the charred remains of the two-family house.
"The building is a total loss. A 2-family house in this neighborhood is at least a quarter of a million dollars and that doesn't even include the contents of the building that was lost," Bergeron said. "We had a problem with power line. It came down on chain link fence on the front and created a dangerous scene," he said.
The fire was the equivalent of a 4 or 5-alarm blaze, because other communities had to be called in to cover other parts of the city, according to Bergeron.
Police Officer Chris Bussey said he was concerned about several juveniles living in the home.
"They had soot on their faces like they had been eating smoke," he said. "And they were barefoot. A couple people jumped out from the second floor."
They were all taken to the hospital to get checked out, he said.
"My concern was for one young girl, with all that soot on her face, she had to be breathing a lot of smoke," he said. "I was worried about smoke inhalation. That was one of the fastest moving house fires I have ever seen."
Next door neighbor Nader Hamda, 29, who lives on the second floor of 15 Lafayette Ave, immediately adjacent to burning building, said he was woken up by screaming.
"I was sleeping, and i woke up and heard kids screaming and crying," he said. "I looked out the window and everything was on fire. In 10 minutes, the house was burned."
Firefighters from nearly a dozen area cities and towns are helping at the scene and providing back-up assistance at the central and outlying stations.
Kat Powers, Communications Director of the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts, said two teams were dispatched to the intersection of Lafayette and Pere Marquette avenues early today to assist victims affected by the fire.
"There are people who have been put out by smoke damage," Powers said. "People in the Fire Department told us that people in five buildings were all affected and they are all from this one Lafayette Avenue event. Our whole Merrimack Valley team is on alert. We will send more teams to Lawrence if we need help."

What Color Do You Want For Your Braces?
Everybody wants to have a nice smile. And some kids are born with it but most kids will need to have braces. There is nothing to be ashamed of about having the need for wearing braces. A few years back you were laughed at when you had to wear braces but now thanks to different braces colors.
Braces can especially in the beginning be very painful to have in your mouth. Even though you can have colors now it will be still not very nice feeling to have braces put on your teeth. However with all of those new colors you can show off the braces to your friend and they will wanting them too even if they do not need them. Colors range from the standard gray to pink and from red to green. While you will be having to wear them for at least a few years the colors can change when you want.

Parkinson's Disease
Name: saabsaab Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1993
I am interested in collecting information on Parkinson's Disease. Can you help me?
Some possible sources include a neuroscience reference, a neurology text, a neurologist, neuroanatomy references. Basically Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder. It gets more and more difficult to move. One of the primary brain lesions associated with this disease is a shrinkage of an area in the brain stem called the substantia nigra. This is thought to be associated with the neurotransmitter dopamine and there seems to decreased production of the dopamine in this area. Some medications do seem to help including a dopamine replacement medicine called Sinemet. There are some new medicines coming out that may also help. Another exciting area is trying to get new dopamine cells to grow in the substantia nigra area, one way is to insert a needle into the area and inject immature nerve cells into the area and hope they will grow up to be mature dopamine producers, so far it is still considered somewhat experimental. The disease is thought to be caused by progressive cell loss. Some cases have been caused by people who synthesized drugs to abuse and they made a mistake and a bunch of young people took the drug and ended up with the disease. The silver lining of this is that this drug also will do the same thing in rats, so now there is an animal model for Parkinson's.

Many years ago, men raced across the Alaskan frozen wilderness by means of dogs and sleds. Scouting has taken this idea and came up with the idea of the Klondike Derby as an activity for Boy Scouts. Each patrol builds a sled, collects materials and equipment, and prepares to embark on the Klondike and participate as a team in the derby.
Each team will act as a separate expedition, following a course to various Alaskan Cities. Each patrol leader will be handed a sealed envelope with a map and instructions on reaching the "North Pole". Teams line up at the starting line, and when signaled are away down the trail. A certain distance down the trail, the patrol leader opens the orders and leads his patrol onto their first city, where they will encounter a situation in which they must use various Scouting skills and sometimes ingenuity to solve the situation. Each city is run by its Mayor, a leader from different troops, who runs the city and assist the patrol in solving their problem.

The Electronic Software Ratings Board has leaked more info on forthcoming Ubisoft action game I Am Alive. Expect adult dialogue, bloody melee and QTEs on your journey through this particular post-apocalyptic wasteland. Novel stuff, no?
The US certification board describes the rumoured-to-be-canned title as "an action game in which players assume the role of a man who must find his family in a post-apocalyptic world. From a third-person perspective, players traverse through city ruins and use a machete to kill human enemies in melee-style combat.
"Battles are accompanied by realistic gunfire, slashing sounds, and cries of pain; characters emit brief splashes of blood when hit. Players have the ability to kill or knock unconscious wounded/vulnerable enemies via finishing moves (e.g., throat slashing, impaling, pistol-whipping); these scenes are highlighted by close-up camera angles and increased player control (e.g., on-screen prompts with button-press sequences).
"During the course of the game, players encounter women who can be saved from nearby enemies; sexual mistreatment is sometimes implied in the dialogue (e.g., 'These guys kept me as their pet, or mascot, or something.').
One sequence depicts the background silhouette of a man fondling and threatening a captured female survivor; the exchange includes phrases such as 'Do you hear me? Don't touch me!' and 'Don't be like that. You know I can make your life a lot easier if you would just cooperate.' The words "p*ssy," "f**k," and "sh*t" can be heard in the dialogue."
I Am Alive underwent a complete reboot in January 2010 to incorporate Splinter Cell: Conviction technology, rendering the E3 trailer below obsolete. Any speculations on what they've changed?

I'm pleased to announce that in addition to the Android: Netrunner full visual spoiler and the card search utility I've finished up the Android: Netrunner online deck builder at CardGameDB.
For those of you unfamiliar with what the deck builders I create are and how it works there is a detailed description located at CardGameDB. This article gives longer explanations of the deck builder and submitted decks page, and goes into a couple extra pages like the private deck sharing page and the deck management page.
Here is the quick rundown of the two main pages:
Android: Netrunner Deck Builder - This is the page where it happens. Choose between a corp or runner deck, search for cards, add those cards to your deck, view the graphs and stats, export your deck in a variety of formats (text file, OCTGN deck, BBCode), and save and submit them on CardGameDB.
Android: Netrunner Submitted Decks - This is where your deck is displayed to the world when you submit it at CardGameDB. There are already about 40 decks submitted. Everyone will be able to see your deck, comment on it, rate it, and take advantage of the new export features which will let them copy it to their own deck section so they can tweak it or export it either as text, BBCode, or an OCTGN file.
If you have any questions or find any bugs feel free to send me a message at CardGameDB to let me know.

Cupcakes! Who doesn't love cupcakes? Makes me think of Sex and the City … birthday parties … sugary frosting … abortion.
Wait … wha?! Unless this is a big joke and I am just very gullible, Cupcakes For Life is a website that's celebrating National Pro-Life Cupcakes Day today by staging a birthday party for the unborn babies of abortion. Cupcakes For Life suggests you bring a tray of cupcakes in for a group of people who, naturally, will ask, "Cupcakes! Whose birthday is it?" Then you, the cupcake baker, are supposed to say, "It's no one's birthday. These cupcakes represent the 50,000,000 children who weren't allowed to be born, who never had a birthday." The helpful "cupcake ideas" page offers suggested frosting slogans, like "Thou shalt not murder" and "abortion kills." Keep reading »

Mayor's MPD overtime math doesn't add up
Statement of Alderman Bob Donovan August 12, 2013
I almost fell off my chair last week when I heard the mayor comment, "We need more boots on the street."
However, I choose to remain optimistic that perhaps the mayor is finally getting it; after all, some of us have been saying it for years. His proposal to add $500,000 for police overtime is certainly a step in the right direction – but only a step. We need a much more comprehensive long term plan to address this problem – as I've said in the past, one modeled after New York City. While I have concerns about burning out officers, and tired officers making mistakes, I will support the overtime initiative.
If however we are expending $500,000 for more overtime, if we are asking the Governor and the State of Wisconsin to match it, and if indeed we need more boots on the street (which we do!) why are we still furloughing officers? Does it make sense to pay one officer overtime who may potentially be filling a position of an officer furloughed on straight time?
It doesn't make sense to me.

Understanding the Student Financial Aid Process:
- About 4 weeks after you submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the Processor, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR). If you file the FAFSA electronically and give an email address, all notifications will be electronic; otherwise notifications will be via paper. The SAR contains important information and needs to be carefully reviewed. On the front page, at the top right there will be an entry that looks like EFC: XXXXX
- In the example above XXXXX should be a number. If there is no number, your FAFSA could not be processed due to missing or incomplete information. You must correct the information and mail the SAR back to the processor or make changes electronically.
- In Section 2, items appearing in bold type require an answer. You must provide in the answer to the right of the question on line or in the space provided on the paper SAR and submit the changes electronically or mail the changes on the paper SAR back to the processor. Several messages may appear on the front of the SAR that indicate something is wrong or missing. Listed below are the most common problems and how to fix them.
You have not registered for selective service:
- If you are female, write "Female" on your SAR next to that message.
- If you are male and have registered for selective service please submit proof/documentation to the Financial Aid Office.
- If you are a male and have not registered for selective service see instructions following the message.
You have been chosen for verification:
- Verification is the process of documenting the information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It requires the completion of a verification form in addition to providing supporting financial documentation to be submitted to the Student Financial Aid Office. If this message appears on your SAR and you expect to enroll at the University of Kentucky, you will receive a verification form from UK.
- To expedite the verification process, follow the steps necessary for importing your (and your parents, if applicable) IRS tax data into your FAFSA by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool available on FAFSA website at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
- Whether or not you are selected for verification, you must complete the IRS Data Retrieval process. If you have not already done so, please complete this step as soon as you have filed your federal income tax return. If you are unable to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, you may be required to provide a copy of your IRS Tax Return Transcript. Tax filers can request a transcript from the IRS free of charge. Follow the instructions on your verification form to determine if you need to attach acopy of your transcript.
- Important: Effective with the 2012-2013 academic year, the Student Financial Aid Office is no longer able to accept the tax filer's copy of a federal income tax return as proof of federal tax information. Tax filers and non-tax filers may be required to provide copies of other important tax documents, such as W-2 Wage and Tax Statements.
- If there are any differences between your application information and your verification documents, the Student Financial Aid Office may send corrections electronically to have your information reprocessed.
- Verification must be completed before UK will process your financial aid request. If you do not provide the documents requested on time, you will not receive federal student aid, and you might not receive aid from other non-federal sources.
- When the verification is completed you may receive: 1) a revised Student Aid Report (SAR) reflecting changes made and/or 2) an award notification based on your verified Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
- If your application is selected for verification and the verification form you received is marked 'Dependent', you and your parents must complete and sign the form. Read the verification form carefully and follow all instructions. Submit the completed and signed form to the FAO (Financial Aid Office) and attach the documentation indicated within the verification form.
- If your application is selected for verification and the verification form you received is marked marked 'Independent', you and your spouse, if married, msut complete and sign the form. Your parents' information is not required. Read the verification form carefully and follow all instructions. Submit the completed and signed form to the FAO (Financial Aid Office) and attach the documentation indicated within the verification form.
Your social security number does not match with your name:
- Ensure that the social security number on the SAR is correct. This message usually appears when a person marries but does not change their name with the Social Security Administration. To correct this error, send a copy of your social security card with your new name and social security number to the Financial Aid Office.
- These are just a few common examples of messages on the SAR. If your SAR has a message that you're not sure what to do about, contact the financial aid office.

"Game of the Night" is a feature that takes a daily look at the best game on the NHL schedule, and sets it up for you. So y'know, you should probably watch the game below. This is brought to you by the Werner Ladder Company (check out their hockey vid here), because how else do you think the bulbs in the red goal light get changed?
Montreal Canadiens at Boston Bruins
Boston Bruins: 21-7-3 (last 10: 6-4-0), 2nd in East, 45 points (31 games)
Montreal Canadiens: 20-6-5 (last 10: 7-2-1), 4th in East, 45 points (32 games)
I'm a little tired of including the Habs in these, but hey, IT'S THE BATTLE FOR FIRST IN THE NORTHEAST, catch the fever.
Both teams have beat the other by a goal, in their opponent's barn. This is their third matchup, with a four set for early April.
Puck drop: 7:30 p.m. EST
Need to know:
* Winner gets first in the Northeast OMG. While Boston gets the visual #2-seed, they've yet to have more points than the Montreal Canadiens at any point of the 2013 season, which is kind of crazy.
* The Canadiens have given up three goals in their last two games! …and have lost both in regulation. They've only scored once.
* Milan Lucic may have crawled out of the doghouse. He was bumped off the top line against the Leafs the other day, but ended up scoring his first, a beauty, in 16 contests.
Player stats:
Injuries (via NHL.com):
Canadiens forwards Rene Bourque (concussion) and Brandon Prust (shoulder), and defensemanRaphael Diaz (concussion) are out. … Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid (shoulder) could be out closer to six weeks than to the original prognosis of 3-4. Defenseman Johnny Boychuk (foot) is day-to-day.
Boston Bruins: Tuukka Rask (confirmed)
Tuukka off first at morning skate, as Anton stays on for more shots…^CS
— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) March 27, 2013
Daily Faceoff: Rask allowed two goals on 25 shots in a 3-2 shootout win over the Maple Leafs on Monday. Rask has been all the Bruins could have hoped for in his first season as a starter. He is 15-4-3 with 1.90 GAA and .928 SV%.
Montreal Canadiens: Carey Price (unconfirmed)
What I'm looking forward to:
I was surprised yesterday to watch the Habs hang with the Penguins as well as they did. The score only ended up 1-0, and it was as close as it sounds – a hard fought game where both teams got their chances and either could've won. Obviously this is a tough stretch for the Habs, so I was (and kind of will be) looking for weakness when they go against the best teams in the league. I don't doubt they can plow through some first round team, but I'm interested in seeing how they look against the best, a category in which I'd include Boston.
As the season wears on, things tighten up, and what was once a game of exchanged opportunities becomes a game of "team who cashes in most on their few chances wins." I expect to see first year players struggle down the stretch, and here we are: Galchenyuk has two points in his last 14 games, and Brendan Gallagher has five points in his last 10 (which isn't a huge decline, but still). Interested to see if these two can hang when the going gets tough.
Unfortunately for the Canadiens, I think the Bruins are built for later-in-the-season hockey, and with the game in Boston, I'm thinking the Bruins grab two points tonight.

The NFL isn't fair, and it never will be. Fair isn't fun, and it isn't reality.
That's partly why over the last two days we've seen the dismissal of several long-time leading executives. First it was the Polians yesterday, and now Jerry Angelo's 11-year run as the general manager of the Bears has come to an end. The circumstances in Chicago and Indianapolis that led to the demise of all three men are remarkably similar.
Both teams struggled through crippling injuries, with the football overlords at least having the decency to crush Indy's hopes immediately, while Chicago was looking like a legitimate Super Bowl contender before Jay Cutler's season ended in Week 12, followed by Matt Forte's season-ending knee injury a week later. Both teams also experienced success under their now former front office leaders, with Angelo's personnel decisions guiding the Bears to four playoff appearances during his tenure, including one in his first season when they went 13-3 after finishing with a record below .500 in each of the previous five seasons. The Bears also advanced to the NFC Championship game twice under Angelo's watch, going to the Super Bowl in 2006 (where his Bears lost to Bill and Chris Polian's Colts).
Each front office also had a few glaring and often ignored weaknesses that planted the seeds for the future unemployment of Angelo, and Bill and Chris Polian. For the Polians, it was the lack of run support behind Peyton Manning, a sore spot highlighted by an aging Joseph Addai, and a failed pick in the form of Donald Brown. Those weaknesses weren't enough to entirely cripple the Colts, though, whereas the strength of Chicago's defense often masked the massive offensive deficiencies that Angelo ignored until it was too late.
The Bears' offensive line improved towards the end of this season, but Chicago quarterbacks were still sacked 49 times, good enough for fifth worst in the league. Cutler was the QB on his back for 23 of those sacks, meaning he's now been sacked 110 times during his 41 starts for the Bears, which evens out to a painful average of nearly three sacks per game (2.7).
Angelo brought in Cutler from Denver in a blockbuster deal during the 2009 offeason that required a hefty investment of two first-round picks and a third-round pick. Yet even when it became apparent that his investment would get pummeled on a weekly basis, Angelo did little, and was content with the status quo and improvement through coaching.
It was classic blind faith, and his selection of Gabe Carimi in the first round last spring was the only time Angelo spent a pick in the first five rounds on an offensive lineman since acquiring Cutler. After he took 14 sacks over just the first three weeks this year, Cutler was unsure if he'd survive an entire season.
The other weakness was at wide receiver, where Earl Bennett began to develop some chemistry with Cutler during the three weeks when they were both healthy. Bennett had 251 receiving yards between Weeks 9 and 11, but with Greg Olsen dealt to Carolina, Cutler was left to use his receivers as the primary option, and there was little depth at the position.
Beyond Bennett, Cutler was throwing to one wide receiver who belongs in a comfortable rocking chair on Sundays (Roy Williams), a converted cornerback and return specialist (Devin Hester), and Johnny Knox, a supposed deep threat who only has two 100-yard games over the past two seasons.
Forte was consistently strong and dominant, but this is a league where passing is no longer just an option, it's a necessity for offensive life. Three quarterbacks eclipsed the 5,000-yard mark in passing yards, and Eli Manning came within 67 yards. For now Lovie Smith will stay on board, and he'll continue to ride Forte and his strong defense, hoping that his offensive line continues its improvement, and receiving fortification is finally on its way through either the draft or free agency.

FunFunky Baby Blog Update! All things fun and funky for kids and babies!
Sophistication In The Modern Nursery Blog of the Week Outfitting one of the most important rooms in your house takes a lot of careful planning. I am talking about the nursery. The first consideration should be how much space is available to accommodate quite a number of furniture. The crib and the rocker are just the basic pieces. All of them are quite bulky and the nursery is almost always small. To make the most of modern spaces, streamlined modern nusery furniture will work best. It is no use having beautiful but bulky furniture when it keeps you from moving efficiently in the nursery. If you are going to use modern nursery furniture with clean lines, it is best to design the nursery in a modern way. Aside from the sleek silhouette of modern furniture, a modern nursery will not take a lot of effort to change later when your child grows older. The traditional nursery has its charms, but if you want a room and furniture that will grow along with your child, going modern is more (read more .....) |

Tim Beckham Rumors
Beckham A Top Two Lock?
Dejan Kovacevic talked to Tim Beckham's father, Jimmy. Jimmy Beckham says the family has met only with the Rays and Pirates, and he expects his son to be drafted by one of those two clubs.
I'm surprised they are so certain. Isn't it possible that the Rays draft Buster Posey and the Bucs opt for Pedro Alvarez?

Baseball Blogs Weigh In: 2008 Amateur Draft
With last year's top pick, David Price, making his pro debut yesterday, we are now two weeks from the 2008 "Rule 4 Draft" and the top of the draft is not as clear this time around. There are five candidates that could go in the top slot: Buster Posey, the FSU catcher; Vanderbilt's third baseman Pedro Alvarez; San Diego lefty Brian Matusz; Southern California high school catcher Kyle Skipworth, and Georgia high school shortstop Tim Beckham. Earlier this week we heard that the Rays were leaning towards Posey or Alvarez, while the Pirates were said to be torn between Alvarez and Beckham with the second pick. Recent mock drafts from Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo, have Beckham going to the Rays with the top pick.
Let's take a look at what is being said about the upcoming draft in the Blogosphere…
- Minor League Ball ranks the top 30 prospects, with Posey and Beckham at the top of the board, while Alvarez' injury knocks him down to #8.
- Baseball Mastermind would like to see a push for a little more hype in the baseball draft and feels that baseball fans would benefit from more debate on the merits of the available talent. They also can't see the Rays taking Alvarez with the top pick now that they have Evan Longoria locked up to a long-term deal.
- DRays Bay wonders if recent reports of the Rays drafting Beckham or Posey were just smoke-screens to lower the price on Alvarez, who is a Scott Boras client.
- Rays of Light note that Alvarez would be the ideal choice, but believe signability may be too big of a factor to ignore, making Posey more attractive.
- Bucs Dugout feels a team should select the best available player with the second pick, but suggests that a team like the Pirates, that is still several years away from contending, may be better off drafting high school talent. The idea is that an Alvarez will not help a Bucs club in '09 or '10 while a Beckham will remain under the team's control for more years.
- Camden Depot doesn't sound very excited about the prospect of the Orioles drafting Matusz.
- McCovey Chronicles is hoping that Alvarez falls to the Giants at #5.

Rays Could Take Catcher No. 1 Overall
In a recent blog post, ESPN's Peter Gammons told us not to be surprised if the Rays take Florida State catcher Buster Posey first overall in the June draft. Posey, a former shortstop, has the skills and frame to behind the plate in his career.
Baseball America's Jim Callis recently analyzed the Rays' most likely options (print issue 0809). He doesn't see the Rays choosing Boras-represented corner infielder Pedro Alvarez. Pitchers Brian Matusz and Aaron Crow and shortstop Tim Beckham are the top talents after Alvarez. Callis, like Gammons, notes that the Rays could go for Posey if they choose to draft for their "biggest organizational weakness."
It seems that the experts' expectation for the Rays' pick is Beckham, but we'll keep you updated in the coming months.

Odds and Ends: Alfonzo, Hill, Kline, Reitsma
Time for a link roundup.
- SI.com's Jon Heyman says the Mets have talked with Edgardo Alfonzo. Alfonzo, 34, came up a Met and snagged MVP votes in 2000 with a .967 OPS.
- Seems like Aaron Hill's contract extension may wait until after the season, when his offensive value is more clearly established.
- No interest in Steve Kline yet…teams will probably wait the Giants out so they don't have to pay his $1.75MM salary.
- If Chris Reitsma doesn't make a decision soon about heading to Triple A, the Ms could place him on the restricted list.
- Dejan Kovacevic hasn't heard anything about Adam LaRoche as a trade candidate, even though extension talks fizzled.
- Kevin Goldstein believes shortstop Tim Beckham is the "top talent in the draft."

June Draft Order
Baseball America's Jim Callis has the June '08 draft order, with supplemental and compensation picks accounted for. The Rays have another #1 pick – who's it going to be? Baseball Prospectus' Kevin Goldstein expects the Rays to pick corner infielder Pedro Alvarez, shortstop Tim Beckham, or starter Aaron Crow. Here's a scouting perspective on Crow, by the way.

Mike MacIntyre, new CU Buffs coach: Fresh new face or second coming of Dan Hawkins?
Dan Hawkins. |
MacIntyre's mea culpa? "I realize my actions at the end of our game with Nevada last Saturday were unsportsmanlike. Clearly, what happened was outside the scope of what I want for the San Jose State football program, the athletics department, the university and our fans. I want to offer this public apology and vow that nothing like this will happen again."
CU fans would probably forgive such behavior if it led to a few more Ws.
Thus far, MacIntyre has avoided major missteps in Colorado. Even if he engaged in familiar coach-speak during his introductory press conference this week (for instance, he said he preferred the word "perseverance" to "patience"), he sounded confident and driven -- two characteristics the Buffs could use right now. What they don't need, though, is Dan Hawkins II. Let's hope Bohn hired someone entirely different -- because if he didn't, the AD will join MacIntyre on the road out of town a few years from now.
Here's the aforementioned press conference, courtesy of CUBuffs.com.

No-one's ever implemented it, or knows how it works, or knows what exactly it's supposed to do. The only advantage ABI_SLOT has is that we don't know what its limitations are, other than that it doesn't solve any new problems (although it might slightly simplify certain specific cases, maybe). -- Ciaran McCreesh

Lastly, this is going to be—ahem—extremely unhelpful for its journalism, anyway:
In February, Mr. Adler and Mr. Fox called editorial employees into a meeting to announce a solution. The magazine would focus on what executives needed to know for their jobs, and shed its sports, lifestyle and politics articles. And writers needed to consider a businessperson's point of view, rather than a consumer's…
But other employees saw a different subtext: their role now was to help business leaders make more money. Though the investigative unit has continued its work, other staff members say their harder-hitting stories have been killed, held or edited into submission.
That's what we call burning the village to save it.
UPDATE: The Times has corrected the Business Exchange error and one other.

Ah January, the month where many are desperately trying to initiate or carry out their new year's resolution. Noticed how I said trying.
Gamers will be trying to keep a lid on that money hose, but the devil in 2K Games is giving us an offer for the Xbox Live that is hard to overlook, with a galore of games and DLCs on sale for all those who adore the company's titles.
There has been a noticeable reduction in the price of many of the games from 2K, and most of them are excellent games, so you can pick any one and you won't be sorry about it at all. Oh wait, I take that back, you'll be very sorry if you pick up Duke Nukem Forever. Just. Don't.
Titles worth recommending are the BioShock games (if you haven't played them), and last year's brilliant XCOM: Enemy Within strategy reboot, which, in my humble opinion, was much underrated despite its great reviews. And oh, don't forget its expansion Enemy Within.
Here's a list of most of the offerings, and the associated prices in both Pound Sterling and US Dollars:
You can read the original post by NeoGAF user Vert Boil (don't you just love the keen observations of a gamer?), as there is also some speculation of a reduction in price of the BioShock Infinite DLCs.

Senate Passes Mental Health Courts LegislationIMMEDIATE HOUSE ACTION NEEDED |
As readers of the NAMI E-News know, the establishment of mental health courts is one of NAMI's principal advocacy strategies to address the stark reality that jails and prisons have become the nation's depository for people with severe mental illnesses. The cumulative effect of past and current rapid downsizing and closure of state psychiatric hospitals and the absence of evidenced-based community treatment programs has resulted in people with severe mental illnesses falling into the criminal justice system.
There are only a few days remaining before congressional adjournment. Therefore, NAMI advocates need to call for immediate action in the full House to pass this legislation so that it can go to President Clinton this year. On Thursday, September 21, Representative Bill McCollum (R-FL), chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, held the first congressional hearing on criminalization since the release of a special Justice Department report last year. Members of the House need to be reminded of the importance of this hearing.
All NAMI members and advocates are urged to call their House members and push for immediate House passage of S 1865 and S. 2272. Urge your member of Congress to call on House Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde (R-IL) and Crime Subcommittee Chairman Bill McCollum (R-FL) to immediately bring these bills to the full House. Remember that Congress is finishing up the year's business, and it is important that NAMI makes its voice heard in the limited time left in this congressional session. All members of the House of Representatives can be reached by calling the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 or by going to the policy page of the NAMI web site at www.nami.org/policy.htm and click on "Write to Congress." District and Washington office numbers can be found in your local phone book or through http://www.congress.org/. Attached below is a sample letter that can be faxed to your member of Congress-fax number are also available through http://www.congress.org/.
September 28, 2000
The Honorable ____________
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear ________:
I am writing to urge you support immediate House passage of the S 1865, Senator Mike DeWine's mental health courts bill. I strongly support this important bill as a significant step forward in curbing the growing trend of "criminalization" of mental illness. I urge that you contact House Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde and Crime Subcommittee Chairman Bill McCollum and request that they immediately bring this legislation to the full House for vote before the 106th Congress adjourns.
The establishment of mental health courts is rapidly emerging as one of the most successful strategies to address the stark reality that jails and prisons have become the nation's depository for people with severe mental illnesses. In fact, on September 21, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the issue of "criminalization" of mental illness and received testimony from judges and prosecutors on the successes local mental health courts have achieved in addressing this disturbing trend.
Mental health courts have been necessitated by the growing concern among judicial, law enforcement and corrections officials about the disturbing trend of persons with severe mental illness being inappropriately placed in jails for non-violent offenses. S 1865 will assist communities across our state and the nation in putting in place innovative approaches to diverting offenders into treatment programs and easing the growing burden on criminal justice and corrections systems.
The U.S. Department of Justice reported in 1999 that 16% of all inmates in state and federal jails have a severe mental illness. 283,000 people with serious mental illnesses were in jail or prison - more than four times the number in state mental hospitals. The average daily number of patients in state and county psychiatric hospitals has steadily dropped from 592,853 in 1950 to 71,619 in 1994. It is unconscionable that people with legitimate medical conditions have had their healthcare options cut and removed and are being imprisoned, instead of being provided with access to appropriate treatment and services in the community and, when necessary, hospitalization.
I urge that you contact Chairman Hyde and Chairman McCollum and persuade them to immediately bring this legislation to the full House so that it can be passed in the remaining days and 106th Congress and be sent on to the White House. Thank you for your attention in this important matter for people with severe mental illnesses and their families.
Inspire others with your message of hope. Show others they are not alone.

RE: TOOMUCHGLASS - beaded flamingo secrets please (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: toomuchglass on 08.19.2011 at 11:44 am in Garden Junk Forum Hi ! Be warned -- beading flamingos is addicting ! Here's the pic I posted earlier :
There's really no big secret to gluing on beads. I didn't do anything to the bird - just started gluing on beads. I started with small beads in all the indentations that seperate the feathers on the wings. Then I just filled the areas in and went from there. I didn't have a big over-all plan - I just went from section to section & saw where it took me & added what I thought looked nice. I'd draw in lines with a thin magic marker & follow them. I changed the lines alot - no one knows my mistakes ! I used Household Goop for glue - it grabs really fast and holds great .The beads were mostly 6mm & 8mm and seed beads. PS - I'm starting my second one soon ! NOTES: <none>
