Young violin phenom Chuanyun Li to play at Benaroya Hall
"Wow! Who IS that? " That is the response I've been getting when musicians hear the CD by the young Chinese-born violinist Chuanyun Li ...
Seattle Times music critic
Chuanyun Li
Violin recital, 7:30 p.m. Monday, Benaroya Hall, 200 University St., Seattle; $30-$75 (at the box office, Union Street and Third Avenue, or 206-292-2787 or www.ticketmaster.com; information, 206-383-7522)."Wow! Who IS that?"
That is the response I've been getting when musicians hear the CD by the young Chinese-born violinist Chuanyun Li — especially the perpetual-motion opening of the Christian Sinding Suite in A Minor. Judging from this live recording, Li's bow arm must be one of the wonders of the violin world.
Li is the player of whom The Cincinnati Enquirer wrote, "His technique is so stupendous [that] there is no barrier between a musical thought and the sound that comes out of the violin." Li himself is a bit more self-critical, calling his playing style "passionate but maybe a bit wild!" in an e-mail exchange he recently made time for during a stop on his tour.
That tour comes to Seattle's Benaroya Hall on Monday, when we'll have a chance to find out what Li is like in person. Li's debut Seattle recital, with pianist Robert Koenig, includes plenty of technical challenges, including works of Kreisler, Liszt, Antonio Bazzini, Prokofiev (the Sonata No. 2 in D Major), Glazunov and Waxman (the "Carmen" Fantasy), as well as the "Sunshine over Tashkurgan" of Chen Gang.
Does this impassioned and demonstrative young player sound a bit like a very famous young Chinese pianist? It's not the first time Li has been linked to Lang Lang, who performed here just last week.
"He is my piano idol and hero!" writes Li. "Actually I have performed with him in the same concerts for several times before in China."
Like most musical prodigies, Li got a very early start on his instrument. Born to two violin-teaching parents, the fledgling fiddler began playing at age 3. Both parents studied violin in the Western tradition, but they faced many restrictions during the Cultural Revolution, when Western instruments and music essentially were banned. Li has quipped, "I hope I can be the counterrevolutionary of the Cultural Revolution."
In his first few years with the violin, Li was "a little bit reluctant" about practicing, but by the time he was 6, the early training had taken hold and he got enthusiastic. The honors and awards started coming early: At 5 he had already won national awards in Beijing, and at 11, in 1991, Li became the youngest-ever winner of the Wieniawski International Youth Competition. In 2006, Li was named "Best European New Artist" by the Eastern Europe Music Festival.
Li loves music and performing but admits, "I hate practicing." He's not too fond of competitions, either. "Pressures are scary and frightening," Li observes.
Li has been extraordinarily fortunate in the patronage of Geoffrey Fushi, who heads the Stradivari Society and in 2003 arranged the extended loan of a 1784 Guadagnini. This violin is "my secret weapon," according to Li, who considers it one of the greatest instruments he has played. And yes, he has played quite a few: Fushi, whom Li calls "such a generous entrepreneur of the musical instruments," made possible a concert DVD on which the young violinist plays such high-level Stradivarius violins as the 1707 "La Cathedrale," the 1708 "Ruby," the 1742 "Sloan" and the 1714 "Jackson," among several other instruments by Amati, Guadagnini and others — all provided for the occasion by the Stradivari Society. At the keyboard on the DVD (and in the upcoming Seattle recital) is the excellent Canadian pianist Robert Koenig, who also has partnered such violinists as Hilary Hahn, Pamela Frank, Elmar Oliveira and Sarah Chang.
Another coup for Li is signing with the IMG management roster, one of the most select in the business (he joins Murray Perahia, Itzhak Perlman, Hahn and a veritable galaxy of other stars). He'll officially join IMG later this month.
Li loves playing pop music on the piano (Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera" is a particular favorite) when he isn't playing the violin. He's a big soccer fan; he enjoys Bruce Lee movies and an assortment of sports and games, including Play-
Station games, table tennis, badminton, tennis and swimming.
In short, he sounds like any other normal guy in his 20s — until he gets a violin under his chin. And then he sounds pretty amazing.

Nail-biting wait may be over for Suarez
Comment on this storyLausanne – Luis Suarez should find out next week whether he has won his appeal against a four-month ban for biting an opponent at the World Cup.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport says the decision is "likely to be rendered some days" after the closed-door hearing in Lausanne on Friday.
The fast-track timetable was agreed on with Fifa, which also banned the Uruguay forward for nine competitive international matches.
Suarez's new club, Barcelona, has joined him and Uruguay's football federation in the appeal.
Barcelona starts the Spanish league season on August 24 at home against Elche.
If the court dismisses the appeal, Suarez's ban will expire October 25.
Fifa suspended Suarez for biting the shoulder of Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini in a World Cup group match in Brazil. – Sapa-AP

Getting special characters to work in form fields?
//When just using a textarea, I'm not setting a value, so alls good...
$details = stripslashes($row[details]);
//When set via value, I get an accented  before a Registered Trademark symbol.
$blurb = "value=\"" . stripslashes($row[blurb]) . "\"";
How do you get special characters to stop generating all sorts of crazy stuff when being set to input fields?
Code:
Description(HTML Enabled): <textarea cols=\"45\" rows=\"8\" name=\"details\">$details</textarea>

Blurb(Example):  <input type=\"text\" name=\"blurb\" size=\"40\" maxlength=\"64\" $blurb />

Check your character encoding (UTF-8 vs. ???) because usually those characters are generated by improperly using text from a different encoding. Such as using substr() on a multibyte string (UTF-8, etc.). Substr() doesn't know that some characters are composed of 2 bytes, so they treat it as a normal character, which is why you see the odd A.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Personally, what do you look for in a calculator? One that can just perform basic algebra or elementary arithmetic? Hopefully not. The TI-83 Plus calculator will satisfy your mathematical needs in any level of mathematics, including college level. The outstanding battery life was one of the first outstanding characteristics of the calculator that I noticed. The TI-83 Plus requires 4 AA batteries and they seem to last me an entire semester of mathematics and physics. The internet cable, which is included in the package, is also an attribute of the package that shouldn't be overlooked. If you connect to the internet and go to the website provided by TI (attach the internet cable), applications can be downloaded which can be of use to you. Some applications that are available to you are the Polynomial Root Finder and Simultaneous Equation Solver, Puzzle Pack, Rational Number Rampage and Quadratic Equation Solver, to name a few. Another characteristic that is important in any math class is the graph on the calculator. The graph is simple to activate, the steps to constructing a graph are: 1) Check the format tab to change the range of data 2) Type in the equation you wish to graph in the Y= tab 3) Press the Graph tab and there's your graph. There truly are so many commands that a TI 83 Plus can perform that I can preach forever. However, especially if you are taking an advanced math class, I highly recommend this calculator. However, the downsides of having this calculator are few in number but range from having difficulty in tracking what X equals when Y equals a number and vice versa and programming. A great feature of this calculator is the ability to create any program you wish but it is difficult to develop a program if you have no programming experience. I also researched online to find programs and the code isn't included in the program links. Also, the calculator is a little expensive ranging from $80-$110. The one attribute of this calculator that makes it different from an average calculator is it's graphing ability, its memory and program storage and it's ability to format the graphs you construct. This product satisfies all of my needs for physics and calculus classes while having great battery life. Overall, if you have a math or science class that requires a graphing calculator look for a TI-83 Plus.

.- In a strongly worded statement, the organization "Pro-Vida" [For-Life] in Argentina has criticized a decision by officials of the National University of La Plata to offer the "morning-after pill" free of charge to students.
Signed by Pro-Vida president Dr. Roberto Castellano, the statement notes that the purpose of a university is to educate and instruct its students. "The free distribution of these drugs neither educates nor instructs, it simply favors the market interests of its manufacturers," Castellano said.
He went on to stress that the pill is an abortifacient and that as such it is prohibited under Argentinean law.
Pro-Vida expressed regret that the university has caved in to "pressure from outside organizations that seek to slow Argentina's demographic growth in order to increase the budget surplus to pay the country's foreign debt." The organization also criticized the university for a lack of programs to help pregnant students. "It only guarantees them, against the law, free chemical abortions," it said.
Castellano said such policies demonstrate moral bankruptcy of many institutions and the "colonial strategies designed outside our borders."

CTR-Mode Encryption
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Counter-Mode encryption ("CTR mode") was introduced by Diffie and Hellman already in 1979. It is indeed one of the best known modes. The authors suggest that NIST, in standardizing AES modes of operation, should include CTR-mode encryption as one possibility for the next reasons. First, CTR mode has significant efficiency advantages over the standard encryption modes without weakening the security. In particular its tight security has been proven. Second, most of the perceived disadvantages of CTR mode are not valid criticisms, but rather caused by the lack of knowledge.

Can you imagine Gracie in the UFC ? He would get destroyed… That dude needs to work on his striking. Ground game and striking game are 50/50 in modern MMA and the Gracies don't seem to comprehend that. They somehow think that grappling and striking are still 80/20 like the old times when fighters did not cross train. Times have changed and the sport has evolved folks. But what can you expect from someone who has Renzo in his corner ?
robbielawler July 15, 2012
Wow Gracies stand up looks like trash. Throw him in there with a strong wrestler w KO power (hence king mo) and its a short night. He doesnt even come close to defeating the top 10 at mw.
Imagine Gracie vs anyone on this MW list:
Robbie Lawler

Vitor Belfort

"Delicious and easy: a big hit. The only flaw is that the recipe should indicate to bake the cheesecake in a water bath. I always do that with cheesecake, and this time I didn't: I got cracks in the top as a result. However, the wonderful maple caramel covered the cracks, so I'm pretty happy (and so are the kids!)."""
Reviewed Dry Brined Turkey With Classic Herb Butter
Nov 24, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Time got away from me this year, and I couldn't brine my turkey (one 12-lb plus a large breast. I tried this recipe, and the birds only had about two hours in the rub before I buttered and roasted them. Because of this, I didn't rinse the rub off. The meat was tender, moist, and so delicious -- as good as the brined birds I've been doing for year..."

I have taking the chance of ordering 6 roses from this site. I will keep you posted but was wondering if anyone else die. The mini's I have now are showing black spot and loss of leaves. I have taken away the droped leaves and raked and plucked and sprayed with baking soda, and the apple cider vinegar but leaves still turning and dropping. Any suggestions..organic |

i have some mini roses from there. two have been in the ground for a few months and are blooming and lookng wonderful. |
I don't know where you live, but many minis are not disease resistant and need treatment with a fungicide. I am not well-versed on organic sprays, I can only recommend that you try to find minis that are resistant. |

I have within the last three weeks ordered 4 mini roses from them. About 3 days after I placed my order, they called to inform me that 2 of the 4 were out of stock and I chose 2 others to replace them. They arrived Fed Ex or UPS and were wrapped in plastic. I watered them immediately as the instructions indicated and planted them into the ground along with my other 50+ mini bushes. They look good so far! I was so excited to buy "SI" micro mini rose because the foilage is so sweety and TINY! Hope I have luck with all my 4. I will keep you posted! |

I ordered two from there: Glamour Girl and Carnival Glass. I potted them up because we are so hot and dry here in Southeastern Oklahoma it is ridiculous. They have done really well. Both have flowered and grown quite nicely. Can't wait till the weather cools a bit to order more. We are supposed to be 105 degrees today with a heat index of 110. Of all my plants, the miniature roses have done the best. I think I'm hooked !!!! |

No To Oral Sex? You Can Still Have A Great Sex Life
By Spicy Gear
Foreplay is an important part of having a satisfying sexual experience. It is not just about the size of the male partner's penis or how flexible your female partner is. Building up to the final act is an vital part of the whole sexual experience. If you and your partner are pretty much going straight to the sexual intercourse, your sex life will become predictable, and possibly leading to sexual frustration in one or both of the partners.
Oral sex can be very pleasurable and cause the male or female to achieve an orgasm even prior to sexual intercourse. While the majority of men and women who receive oral enjoy it, there are are number of individuals who do not like to give or receive it.
Why Do Individuals Not Enjoy Receiving or Giving Oral Sex?
Women who do not like receiving oral sex may feel self conscious about how she tastes or smells down there. Some women may also feel uncomfortable about how their vagina looks, and may be more comfortable receiving oral if the lights are turned off. If your female partner shows discomfort in receiving oral, ease her into it. Let her know that you enjoy pleasuring her that way and while you are doing it, express your happiness in doing it by telling her "You taste so good" or "I love making you have an orgasm this way." You can also suggest using a flavored lubricant to make her feel more comfortable if she is worried about how she tastes or smells down there. If you partner is absolutely against it, respect her wishes and do not do it.

Chalayan Fall 2012
>> Colorblock and cutouts: in Hussein Chalayan's hands, they felt modern, smart — and just right for Fall 2012. The designer worked with dazzling color combos — such as bright tomato with apricot or vivid lime and teal — for a enticing sense of depth. Silhouettes were oversize, geometric, and playful with cutouts and layering used throughout. Holographic leggings — paired with matching tennis shoes and a sporty wool blazer — looked surprisingly chic, as did a series of artfully-draped column gowns.

KRNV - There have been a number of critics to the Affordable Care Act, but the President's signature legislation is getting support from an unusual source; working girls at Nevada's legal brothels.
The girls at Nevada's "Moonlight Bunny Ranch" say they support the new legislation.
"Having this profession, we aren't exactly offered group health insurance. It's hard because I do have a pre-existing condition so I really support Obamacare. I'm excited," says working girl Taylor Lee.

HollyWooWoo Report Jnaury 21st 2015 Happy HumpDay! Hope you are off to a wonderful Wednesday. In Hollywood - here's what's happening:
The New Kids on the Block are going on tour! You read that right ... NKOTB is going on tour. WOO HOO!! FlashBack to the 90s. Joey Mac was my boy. The tour will also include TLC and Nelly. Love it! And grab your calendar (and your Credit Card!) NKOTB will make a concert stop in Norfolk on June 9th at SCOPE. Tickets go On Sale January 31st. Despite the fact that I will be 9 months pregnant - I will be there!
Comedy Central will roast Justin Bieber ... and then put him in between 2 Graham Crackers. HA HA! No - not really. But they will roast him. No details have been released ... other than it will be filmed in LA & comedians will roast Justin about the egging incident, his romance with Selena Gomez and his controversial Calvin Klein ads.
During the President's State of the Union address last night (I was watching 'Shark Tank' - sorry POTUS) the 1st Lady wore a gorrrrgeous Michael Kors suit. It was like black and white & totally stylish! Well one watcher realized the same suit was worn by actress Julianna Marguilles on the TV show 'The Good Wife". Michelle has really good taste! The suit retails for around $1000. And finally - the BIG news everyone will be talking about at work today isn't HollyWood News, but it does involve a handsome quarterback with HollyWood Hair. I'm talking about Tom Brady & #DeflateGate. The NFL confirmed the Patriots played with deflated balls last week. No word from the Patriots. No word on what the fine will be. No comment from Brady...but who knew? Giselle likes deflated balls. HA! Have a great day! WooWoo

Biodel Awarded NIH Grant To Develop Glucagon Formulations For Use In Artificial Pancreas
DANBURY, Conn., Sept. 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biodel Inc. (Nasdaq:BIOD) announced today that the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded Biodel a grant for the development of novel and stable glucagon formulations for use in an artificial pancreas, also known as a closed loop pump system.
"We are pleased to receive yet another award for the advancement of our innovations designed to improve diabetes treatment therapies," said Dr. Errol De Souza, President and CEO of Biodel. "Biodel has a great deal of expertise in developing stable glucagon formulations for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia and our lead program is targeting an NDA submission in early 2014. We will leverage this expertise and concentrate the resources funded by the SBIR on utilizing our proprietary technology to produce glucagon formulations that support the development of effective artificial pancreas therapy."
The two-year grant, totaling $582,763, is intended to fund research to develop Biodel's proprietary glucagon product candidate optimized to algorithmically deliver glucagon as part of a bihormonal closed loop system to mitigate hypoglycemic events. Currently the full benefits of intensive insulin therapy for patients with diabetes have yet to be realized in large part because it is extremely difficult to optimize continuously variable insulin dose requirements using current technology and because of the inability to eliminate hypoglycemia. The use of glucagon to blunt the glucose lowering effects of excess insulin may enhance the feasibility of fully automated artificial pancreas systems, thereby minimizing the occurrence of hypoglycemia. Currently marketed formulations of glucagon are chemically and physically unstable in solution at high temperatures and are not likely to be practical for infusion through insulin pumps. Biodel will pursue a strategy to develop a stable glucagon formulation suitable for pump delivery.
This research is supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National Institutes of Health under award number R43DK096602. This press release and all other Biodel publications associated with this grant are solely the responsibility of Biodel and do not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Last year I was COVERED UP in slugs. I mean we killed a couple hundred, I'm sure. Daily the two girls and I had slug hunts. Found what had to be some favored nesting sites and plants of choice for them.
This year I have not seen one...single...slug. How about you? We do have chickens that roam. They are actually pretty good on the garden. They eat my blue flax blossoms and once scratched out some seedlings to take a dustbath, but beyond that no problem. Have they eaten all my slugs, or is it a slug-free year for everybody? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not noticing many slugs either. In fact I've only found one - it was in one of my seedling pots - which was on the patio, against, the house, sitting in a garden flat, up on a table. So I figure this guy had to crawl across 20' of patio, up the legs of a table, across the gardening flat, up the pot and into the plant. Knowing what he went thru - it still didn't make me feel guilty for pulling him out and stepping on him! |
I found a slug today... on my shoe, which was already on my foot. I noticed it when I was outside in the garden. I had left the wet shoes on the porch to drip dry and then put them on and didn't notice anything, but the slug was the same color as the shoe (brown) so I could have missed it. Being outside with both shoes laced up (sneaker-types), I started wondering if there were more slugs inside the shoe(s) all squashed up against my toes. Not wanting to take the sneakers off then, and not really wanting to know if there were squashed slugs in there, I decided to postpone the revelation and continue with my intent, which was to deal with the compost pile. I updated the compost pile, trying not to think about squashed slugs and toes, and then went inside. Luckily there were no slugs in the shoes, but I think I'll let wet shoes dry indoors next time.

I've seen a few, but not as many as I'd expect with all the rain we had a few weeks ago. They were mainly on hydrangeas, but there are holes in some of the Ligularia dentata, so I know they're out there! I did apply Sluggo at the first break in the weather, after seeing the swiss cheese effect on the ligularia. |

Not as many this year for sure but I sprinkled crushed eggshells around all my hostas and other shade plants early in May as a defense after seeing all the damage they did last year. I found one on the bottom of a potted plant as I tipped it over to get it out of the pot & into the hole I dug for it. We've had way more rain this year so I would have expected to see more of them instead of less. The sawfly larvae decimated a few of my columbines but they're blooming like crazy despite having no leaves. Another thing I've noticed is there don't seem to be as many red lily leaf beetles this year compared to last year. Maybe our extremely long, cold and snowy winter affected those as well as us humans. |
ONE! Now deceased. Am always on the look out. Maybe we'll have a little luck this year. Susan |
- Posted by bill_ri_z6b (My Page) on Mon, Jun 13, 11 at 15:02
I've seen fewer in most of the garden, but may be because I've had major changes out there. Large areas that had rotting railroad ties and 'grass' are now paved and secured with masonry walls and steps. However, in the new planter, which is totally surrounded by the new walls, steps, patio and terrace (all paved/stone) they have apparently decided that my gorgeous coleus are their salad bar! There were dozens, all small, ten or fifteen every day. I started trying to hand pick them, then went on nightly forays with the salt shaker, but the onslaught continued. I applied Sluggo yesterday and so far have not seen any slugs or snails. |
- Posted by squirejohn 4 VT (My Page) on Mon, Jun 13, 11 at 16:40
Nary a one. Quite a few snails but no slugs. |

Tony Blair memoir: I'd do Iraq again, and I considered firing Gordon Brown
In his new memoir, former British prime minister Tony Blair shares misgiving about the Iraq war – and catalogs his extensive struggles with then-finance minister Gordon Brown.
Jason Reed/Reuters
Tony Blair began his leadership as a dashing popular British Bill Clinton -- a fresh answer to "the suit," as Fleet Street called John Major. After 2001, it all went sideways and Mr. Blair's 10-year tenure terminated with him portrayed at home as a "lap dog" for President George Bush.
Now, as President Obama is attempting to bring closure to a war that largely contributed to Mr. Blair's falling popularity, Blair is putting forth his version of events in a 700-page memoir titled "A Journey: My Political Life."
Blair has two serious points for history. Point one: He may have misgivings about Iraq but he would do it again under the same circumstances. Blair hitched his star to a US White House whose vice president, Dick Cheney, Blair says, "Would have worked through the whole lot, Iraq, Syria, Iran, dealing with all their surrogates.... He thought the world had to be made anew ... by force and with urgency." Mr. Bush, he says, has "genuine integrity and as much political courage as any leader I ever met." Blair also writes he once helped Bush identify Guy Verhofstadt, the prime minister of Belgium.

You're supposed to be editing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the driver "nvidia" that you installed. There are a couple other changes that you need to make, They tell you exactly what to do in the README file that comes with the drivers.

well i have a red hat 9 i guess it is not very different from FC3, when i got my nvidia driver installed i had to edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config.
do not forget that typing "nvidia-settings" will pop-up a settings window to control AF/AA in your 3D games.
have fun

Project to design and build a new LMP1 car in partnership with ORECA for the 2014 season requires a commitment from the resources available to the team.
82nd Le Mans 24 Hours 14-15 June 2014 with Scrutineering set for June 8th and 9th
Countdown to Le mans: 1 day to go before the green flag waves with Audi on the front row after Loîc Duval set a blistering time of 3:22.349 in qualifying yesterday. None of his teammates today could best Duval's time.
In 2014, the Rebellion Racing team will enter a new prototype, which will be designed, built and developed by the ORECA Group, in the Le Mans 24 Hours and the FIA World Endurance Championship.
The successful pair will form a partnership to design and build an all-new LMP1 for Le Mans and the World Endurance Championship.
With eight hours of testing, the Test Day for the 24 Hours of Le Mans is traditionally a busy day with multiple objectives.
Testing runs from 0900 – 1800 hours (with a break between 1300-1400 h) and is open to the race's 56 entrants plus some special invitational cars.
The teams running in the European Le Mans Series have one more race to go before Le Mans. The 3 Hours of Imola takes place on 19 May and after that the next stop for everyone is the Le Mans Test Day on 9 June.
Pecon Racing drivers Luis Perez Companc, Pierre Kaffer and Nicolas Minassian dominated the second race of the WEC and gained the second seasonal podium after the third place at Silverstone.
Pecom Racing crossed the finish line in first, for the Nicolas Minassian/Pierre Kaffer/Luis Perez Companc trio's second success in the FIA WEC with the 6 Hours of Bahrain in 2012.
2012 champions André Lotterer, Benoît Tréluyer and Marcel Fässler lead an Audi Sport R18 Audi e-tron quattro 1-2-3 finish in the 6 Hours of Spa race in Belgium.
The qualifying sessions to determine the grid at seven of the eight rounds. The 24 Hours of Le Mans continue with its traditional qualifying system.
Pierre Kaffer: "The ORECA 03 which is a reliable and fast car, the Nissan motor, and the Michelin tyres, we have a very solid package to be competitive.."
The track action at Spa gets underway at 09:00hrs on Friday with the first free practice session.
The drivers of Pecom Racing took the chequered flag in fourth position, however, the organization decided to penalize the squad ahead, what gave the third place for Pecom Racing.
The running order is shuffled with the last pit stops but G-Drive Racing by Delta-ADR never falters and takes the win with the ORECA 03 driven by Antonio Pizzonia, Tor Graves and James Walker.
Coming out from Silverstone's Club Corner, Martin hit the pit wall and the #26 Oreca 03-Nissan required extensive repairs.
Very close finish in the season opening FIA World Endurance Championship race at historic Silverstone. It was a battle between the two Audi R18 e-tron quattros in the closing minutes.

White Sox open key stretch with 3-1 win over Royals
Less than a week removed from his third appearance in the All-Star Game, White Sox left-hander Chris Sale was asked Monday night about the next potential honor for which he might be considered — the American League Cy Young Award.
But after he earned his ninth victory of the season in a 3-1 Sox triumph over the Royals at U.S. Cellular Field, the 25-year-old diverted the talk to a different goal Sox players would like to at least keep as a long shot – the playoffs. The Sox have entered the part of the season where both become legitimate topics of conversation.
The Royals series opener was the first of 13 straight games against AL Central opponents, and the Royals are one of a handful of teams in front of the Sox in the race for the second AL wild-card spot.
"I don't really pay too much attention to any of that (Cy Young talk)," Sale said. "I have a job to do and I have to focus on doing that and winning games. We're right in the hunt right now. These are the dog days, and you've got to bear down. Now is not the time to be thinking about yourself or some trophy or whatever."
Sale (9-1) hadn't pitched more than the one All-Star inning since July 9, and he had to work on a muggy night on the South Side. He pitched seven innings, allowing one run on seven hits, walking one and striking out eight. He lowered his ERA to 2.03 this season and 1.47 over his last three starts.
Reliever Jake Petricka pitched a scoreless ninth for his fourth save.
"I had a lot of time off and I felt rested," Sale said. "I felt really good tonight."
Adam Dunn, not one to hype games unnecessarily, said beforehand that he considers the current stretch "pretty meaningful." He then hit a two-run single in the first inning off Royals right-hander Jeremy Guthrie and scored the other run on Gordon Beckham's bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the sixth.
"There does come a point where it's kind of a make-or-break stretch," Dunn said. "If we can get on a good run here, it would be pretty big. … We can make up a lot of ground or lose a lot."
The Royals scored their lone run off Sale in the fourth when Alex Gordon singled, stole second and scored on Danny Valencia's single up the middle. Sale had hit Valencia with a pitch in the second after Guthrie hit two Sox batters in the first. Valencia tried to score on Alcides Escobar's two-out double down the left-field line, but the Sox caught him at the plate on a relay from Alejandro De Aza to Ramirez to catcher Tyler Flowers.
The Royals threatened again in the sixth by putting two on with a single and a walk. But Sale struck out Valencia and Escobar to preserve the Sox lead.
"The Royals have quite a lineup, so it's not something that you feel (Sale is) going to breeze through," Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "It wasn't easy and he worked really hard. … He just finds a way. He's a great pitcher, but the competitive part of him gets him through when he might not have his best stuff. … There is no reason why he shouldn't be in the (Cy Young) discussion."

"What can I say - lovely thick paper, well printed, a very handy RSVP service, and quick shipping! I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase."
"Love the design on the card. Chose this for our son's first birthday invites. Everyone keeps complimenting on how they love this design."
"This card turned out perfect. The color, the product of paper used and just the overall look, captured the characteristics of my sweet little boy beautifully. I received many compliments on this invite. Thanks tiny prints!"
"I ordered this for my son's 1st birthday party and couldn't be happier!!!! It is so cute and I have gotten several comments on how great it looks. It was a little tricky to get a photo that "worked" with the layout and writing, but other than that the design process was very simple and straightforward. We love Tiny Prints!!!"
"This invite came exactly as described/pictured in the example and we received a lot of compliments on it. Paper & printing quality were great, with no smudges/blurred lines/over-saturation. We added a photo of my son and revised the event info to personalize, and all of that came out exactly as we had requested with no mistakes. I ended up using the invite theme for the overall theme of my son's party because I liked it so much!"

Have any of you good Economists calculated what a plane-load of SkyMalls, safety cards, and the unread dirges of sudoku and airport maps that pass for airline magazines weigh?
Better still: how much weight is flown how many miles per day, across all the (non-Ryanair) planes in the sky.
Best of all: how much fuel is burned shifting that weight around, and at what cost?
I plan to ask these questions of the next candidate I interview; I'll post if I get a good response!

foreign service
foreign service
nounDefinition of FOREIGN SERVICE
First Known Use of FOREIGN SERVICE
Rhymes with FOREIGN SERVICE
foreign service
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Staff of a state's international-affairs department that represents the state's interests in foreign countries. It fulfills two functions, diplomatic and consular. The standards for foreign-service jobs are similar in most countries. Before the 20th century, wealth, aristocratic standing, and political connections were the chief requirements for high-ranking diplomatic positions. Political appointees still hold the top positions in many foreign missions, but their subordinates generally must demonstrate their education and intellectual ability through a competitive examination. Foreign-service personnel have special legal rights (e.g., they do not have to pay taxes to their host country). See also ambassador.

I drove preproduction examples of this car last summer in Japan, I drove some of the first production Evo Xs this winter, and I've been behind the wheel of a couple of other Evos in the months since. Nothing has changed: I'm still flat-out amazed at what Mitsubishi has made this car do, astounded at how much capability and enjoyment they've packed into such a low price tag. Dollar for dollar, this car impresses me more than Nissan's GT-R.
There are niggling faults, to be sure--the interior quality still isn't a patch on the stuff in Subaru's WRX, fifth gear is both entirely too tall and entirely too short (it's boomy at highway speeds and cranking a huge 4000 rpm, but the gap between fourth and fifth gear is still ridiculously huge), and the Evo X isn't quite as involving or communicative as the Evo VIII or IX. But in terms of steering feel, chassis balance, and sheer genius-making capability, it's got everything else at the price beat six ways from Sunday. What a hoot.

A Stormy Night With You
As I listen to the rain spattering against my cabin's window,
I think of that night when we were stranded here.
The roads were washed out and the creek overflowing,
but I was in your arms , safe, warm, a long-awaited dream.
I saw the lights blink on the alarm clock, the bang on the transmitter.
I smiled, we were alone, you and I , no one would check on us.
I tugged on grandma's quilt and you tugged back-asleep.
I listened to the sweet sound of your breath, soft, even.
When I awoke, stars glimmered in the window, the clock was flashing.
Darkness still surrounded me, along with your strong, hard arms.
I wanted this night to last forever, the moon seemed satisfied with just a peek at us.
You and I, finally in a place where life brought a freshness-alone, together.
Though spring has not yet blessed the trees with blossom, passing through
the woods this day, the sullen bareness of the dead tree among the living
draws my eye, its branches, like a skeleton, support the life nearby,
a chorus of creatures sing their dirges, oblivious that I have
trespassed in their woods, while the tree stands at attention and the world
goes on around, and through, exchanges its own life for hollow emptiness
No shame in being dead, for once you were alive,
and now you still bring grace and beauty,
no need for those around you to forget, to bury you or
avert their eyes from your emptiness
No, the world goes on, life goes on, better than perhaps before,
trickling rain, singing wind, crackling of your deathly limbs,
ruddy run-off water meandering across the path,
these create the harmonies that push life forward
Brighter Days
time to go to sea
Sandside I slump, on shelled shore, sun screened and sipping soda, unaware of rising tide.
The waves lap my feet, childish, childlike.
I settle into my shallow rock pool.
It's pretty. Controlled. Tepid. You could say lukewarm.
Occasionally, mercifully, the tide refreshes it
And that unforgetting love spills in, flooding my dry sand living.
I have been playing adult-like, fun-less,
Responsibly boring the world,
Offering religion, not new life living,
Forgetting I was made to be as simple as the waves.
Missing, simply, the fathomless sea.
Words ring in my ears, in my mouth: "Try harder," "Read, pray, do…MORE."
Words so unrefreshing, untouched by tidal tonic,
Stale on tired, heat-stroked ears.
But your one word stroke broke yoke-rules, found parched hearts,
Mine among them.
We study the sea,
Read books, endure lectures, schedule workshops,
Then, with dry feet, speak of how nice it would be
To swim.
The tide is turning, the sea calls me in.
There are some strokes to acquire—
Backstroking forwards,
Freestyle living,
Even butterfly,
But surely the splash and splatter of learning is better than stagnant pools or stifling sand,
Sheltered from revitalizing thrill.
Time brings tide's pull, I splash in, all I feel is new.
I dive, delve into your effervescence, afloat in you.
Stillness and movement mingle, a sweetness of life.
A soul-craved life.
That which clothed me, masked me, left onshore—
Religious duplicity, scanty love living, safety settling.
The tide is turning now. Will you take me to the deep?
The swirls along the rocks tell me that it is
Time to go to sea.
Sea King
Massive wave hills were breaking further out than I had ever seen.
I told myself and my friend that I would stay close-by shore,
And go no further, no more.
Slipping into the icy froth of the rip express lane,
Passing familiar rocky point,
I sat on my board, just gliding seaward like floating royalty in a river coronation,
Absorbing solar praise,
Robed regally in wet fur seal like suit,
Laughingly shouting back to my friend enjoying the shore-break surfing:
"Check this out!"
Forgetting to embrace shoreline wisdom.
My mistake apparent within seconds,
I am no king of the sea.
Today the familiar merry go round rip
joyfully ridden back to wave riding position
Bulged uncharacteristically and pulled me near to panic,
An unstoppable river, impossible to defy.
I was riding a water chairlift out to liquid white mountains.
In a salty blink, I whispered, "Save me!"
Doubt gushed, poured and exited out.
I saw daughter, wife, scenes of life.
I heard a royal blue voice call out: "Keep going, yes further out."
Each shivering stroke showed feeble faith
As the sets rising green and tall drew terrifyingly near.
A precious wave approached from an unexpected angle,
Birthing hope within—to catch it would be certain escape.
It lifted me up, throwing me down, carrying me in.
I rode that surfboard like a rapid-rafting baboon,
Arriving to the shore,
Whispering appreciation to the real Sea King.
By Jonathan
