For adherents vodou transcends religion as a Christian might define the word, says Demesmin. "It is a way of life, that is the best way of saying it. Vodou is not just a spiritual thing for the Haitian. Vodou is their spirituality, their way of surviving, their way of living, their way of being there for each other, their way of entertaining themselves sometimes. The peasant of Haiti doesn't have entertainment. They don't go to movies -- that is not made for them; the price they would have to pay is not the kind of money they are making."
In Florida she is something of a vodou counselor, giving marital and family advice to the faithful, helping heal headaches or other minor maladies with Haitian herbal remedies when possible. But for the big jobs, she returns to Haiti. "Certain treatments need the spirituality of the motherland, where the energy is connected to the land, where the leaves are. Certain treatment needs spring water from a certain river to have the energy of the water. I can do treatments in the sea, the simple things can be done here, but where spirituality is involved, it is important to go back."
There is also a lack of facilities here, she adds. While many vodou adherents may have small shrines in their homes, there are no proper hounfort, or vodou temples, in South Florida. In Haiti Demesmin leads colorful, multiday interdictions such as the one at a hounfort near Port-au-Prince caught on tape by a German documentary team.
A man in his thirties came to Demesmin suffering from "severe mental problems." His family had tried modern medicine with little luck, so a doctor suggested a vodou cure. (Such cross-specialty referrals are not uncommon in Haiti, says Demesmin.) In the videotape the patient whirls and writhes on the ground in apparent agony. He jerks when touched, and it sometimes takes two mambo to hold him down. He is either possessed by a spirit, or he is mentally ill. There is a distinction between the two, she notes, and vodou won't do much to help the man if the latter turns out to be the case.
Such cases are physically and spiritually treacherous, says Demesmin. "You are in as much danger as the patient. Working with the negative forces, you need to call on your own negative forces . If I got possessed, the next person could take over."
Before treatment can begin, the mambo must identify the lwa that has taken possession of the man. Her ciphering leads to the discovery that this unfortunate soul has been taken over by danti, ancient divinities so long dead that they are seldom seen or heard from. It's hard to communicate with these particular spirits because they don't speak or understand the Creole language Demesmin and other mambo speak.
The course of treatment involves rubbing the man's body with herbs and oils, cleansing him in a bath, and sacrificing a chicken as an offering to the lwa in question. It's apparently successful. Calmed considerably, the man is taken from the main part of the hounfort to a small anteroom, where he is placed in the dark to avoid exposing his soul to the sun. Demesmin reports that the treatment was successful and the patient recovered fully.
In another ceremony Demesmin and a dozen or so dancers, most clad in white with bright red or blue scarves wrapped around their heads, pay homage to their ancestors by kneeling and kissing the poto mitan, a post ringed at its base by a wheel of flat-topped cement, where offerings of food and drink are placed for the divinities. Ceremonies revolve around the poto mitan, and most begin with a salute to it.
Later Demesmin and the other participants pluck a live chicken with their hands, kill it, and clean the insides with lime. The chicken is an offering to the gods, who, unlike those of other religions, need sustenance. Vodou belief holds that a well-fed lwa is a strong lwa, and a strong lwa is better able to provide assistance when called upon. The bird is fried in small jars the size of flowerpots to prepare a ceremonial dish called boule zen. The ceremony is performed to harness the power of the fire, and part of it involves adding balls of cornmeal to the boiling oil, then removing the balls with bare hands. "If someone is not capable of doing that, you don't have the power of the fire," she says.
Vodou is the soul of Haiti, and music is the soul of vodou. Vodou music is played primarily on drums made for specific occasions or ceremonies, with accompaniment on rattles, conch shells, and gongs. Mesmerizing rhythms that got their start in Africa and came to Haiti with the slave trade are the signature of the musical style.
Demesmin's music draws heavily on these rhythms. "The spirituality of my race, the mythology of my race, the instrument created by my race, which is the drum, you will find very sharp in each song that I sing."
Her first album, Carole Maroule was released in 1978, followed by Carole Min Rara in 1980, Carole Lawouze in 1987, and Kongayiti-Afrika in 1998. They are all self-released or on the Haitian label Marc Records, though her last effort was recorded both in Haiti and New York.

Rinehart acts to reveal sources
PUBLISHED: 23 Mar 2012 00:01:00 | UPDATED: 23 Mar 2012 07:24:52PUBLISHED: 23 Mar 2012 PRINT EDITION: 23 Mar 2012Peter Kerr
Gina Rinehart, the major shareholder in Fairfax Media, has taken legal action to force the Kerry Stokes-controlled West Australian Newspaper to reveal its sources in reporting on the increasingly bitter battle with her children over part of the family's $17 billion fortune.
Broking house Bell Potter was also caught up in the subpoena push yesterday.
Lawyers for Mrs Rinehart's company Hancock Prospecting demanded Bell Potter reveal correspondence between the firm and journalists – including at The Australian Financial Review – regarding estimates of Hancock's annual mining royalty income.
The sum, which has been used in recent articles to calculate Mrs Rinehart's wealth, is central to the legal dispute between the mining magnate and her three eldest children over the worth of a family trust, control of which is in dispute.
It is estimated to be worth at least $4 billion, mainly after royalty payments from Hancock's prized asset: the Hope Downs mine in Western Australia that is jointly owned and run by multinational giant Rio Tinto. The figure has been hotly contested by Mrs Rinehart's lawyers in the past. Mrs Rinehart also wants Bell Potter to reveal any correspondence between her son John Hancock's financial adviser Wayne Fotheringham and journalists.
It is the attempt by Mrs Rinehart to target the media and the sanctity of journalists' sources that is likely to attract most interest.
She owns 10 per cent of Channel Ten and 12.6 per cent of Fairfax Media, publisher of The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the Financial Review. Mrs Rinehart is currently seeking a seat on the Fairfax board.
In the subpoena sent to the West Australian newspaper yesterday, a copy of which has been obtained by the Financial Review, Hancock's lawyers demand by 4pm next Wednesday certain documents that passed between one of the paper's most senior journalists, Steve Pennells, and Mrs Rinehart's children.
"A copy of all recordings (including voicemail messages) or notes of conversations, made on or after 4 September 2011, between Steve Pennells or any journalist employed or contracted by West Australian Newspapers Limited," it says.
Mrs Rinehart's push is focused on revealing any correspondence about a previously secret agreement in 2006 between the magnate and her children, called the Hope Downs deed. It became public last week after Mrs Rinehart lost a bid to suppress the details of the case.
The children are prevented from revealing anything about the deed or making comments about their mother that might "disparage" or "lower her reputation in the estimation of the public".
In return for their silence, they were meant to have begun receiving up to $300 million a year each from the end of last year, paid for by half of the family's claim to the Hope Downs mine, but she claims they have breached the deed.
In early September last year, Mrs Rinehart also pushed the trust's vesting date out to 2068, under the extended powers she gained under the 2006 deed.
This prompted the children to take legal action to remove their mother as trustee.
Mrs Rinehart said yesterday's subpoena was from Hancock and related to a confidential arbitration.

In all, Vega could have walked away with a six-figure profit if he hadn't gotten caught. In his would-be infomercial, he could thank state lawmakers who have enacted laws that allow bulk purchases and federal sentencing guidelines that promote slap-on-the-wrist plea bargains. Laws allow foreign nationals to buy large caches of guns with little oversight in the United States, which has become an unwitting supplier of global insurrections. Likewise, several South Florida arms smugglers have avoided serious punishment by using federal laws that give breaks to snitches, with many of them turning informant on fugitives.
Because of its connection with Latin America and its buyer-friendly gun laws, South Florida has become a prime shopping ground for gunrunners. Moreover, federal agents acknowledge that the war on terrorism isn't likely to eliminate South Florida's reputation as a place to buy and smuggle guns. Months after the convictions of some of South Florida's most famous gunrunners, court papers and federal agents describe just how easy it is for terrorists from Ireland, South America, and the Caribbean to make piles of money supplying rebels with guns.
With an unkempt beard, a few extra pounds around his waist, and an old olive T-shirt hanging from his shoulders, Doug Thurmond looks a lot like the comic book dealer from The Simpsons. On a recent Sunday morning, he's sitting behind rows of assault rifles and shotguns for sale at a gun show in Fort Lauderdale's War Memorial Auditorium. He came over from Florida's west coast to sell weapons from what he describes as his private collection.
"Look, you can thank the commissioners of Broward County for the five-day waiting period," Thurmond laments. In Florida, he explains, counties can set their own rules regulating firearms dealers, and commissioners in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties require the long wait for gun deals. Most Florida counties require only three days. "But there's an easy way to avoid it," Thurmond says, leaning in to explain.
Gun shows have long been notorious as shopping centers for illegal gun buyers. Many of the gunrunners nabbed in South Florida have told authorities they began their operations by buying weapons from traveling gun shows held nearly every weekend. Irish Republican Army operatives, for instance, arranged the illegal purchase of thousands of firearms in 1999 at a gun show at the National Guard armory in Fort Lauderdale. Jamie Higgins, a special agent with the ATF in Miami, says it's not uncommon to find disreputable dealers at gun shows. "If you ask 50 of them, chances are you'll find one, or maybe more," willing to sell guns illegally, Higgins says.
Thurmond explains that avoiding the law doesn't mean you have to break it. For $35, anyone with a clean criminal record can get a concealed-weapons permit that allows the holder to shop freely for firearms. In fact, there's a two-hour concealed-weapons-permit class held at the gun shows for $35. "Just go take the class," Thurmond says. "Then you can take home anything you want -- today."
Nearby, dealer Michael Henock of Pembroke Pines tells the same story. "All you need is a concealed-weapons permit," he says. "Why bother doing it without the paperwork? I'm not going to jail for that." Henock displays his rows of rifles, including the Bushmaster. "Name me a price," he says. "I'm here to sell guns today."
Get past the waiting period and the market is wide open. Laws that forbid the sale of some high-powered assault rifles are laughed off by most dealers. Henock and Thurmond and most of the other dealers at the gun show display rows of guns that include those outlawed by the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which is commonly called the assault weapons ban. Thanks to a loophole in the law, dealers are free to sell outlawed assault weapons made before the ban, sometimes for double the price of guns made after the tougher rules went into effect. The banned guns are indicated by tags the dealers attach that brag "pre-ban." Guns with the tag include those with holders for bayonets, foldable stocks, and ribbed sheaths on the barrel to suppress the flash of firing. The foldable stock and bayonet comes in handy during close combat, and the muzzle suppressor becomes crucial when you don't want the enemy to spot your covert location. Those attributes might not sound important for home protection or hunting, but the guns can make a good Christmas present for your favorite rebel or sniper.
Gun control advocates have long argued that the ban has become indicative of the holes in federal firearms laws, which have long made the United States a shopping ground for terrorists and guerrillas. Most gunrunners caught in South Florida have bought their weapons legitimately from dealers selling firearms manufactured legally. The lax rules have attracted gun dealers even from countries renowned for their supply of guns, says H. Sterling Burnett, senior fellow with the National Center for Policy Analysis in Dallas. According to authorities, smugglers probably come to the United States because of the ease of sticking the guns in the mail, as opposed to crossing foreign borders with them, and because of the supply of stolen military arms in America. "It doesn't make sense to me when people like Pakistanis are coming to the United States to buy guns, but they apparently do," Burnett says. "In Pakistan, there's whole towns set up to do nothing else but manufacture guns, and they have to come here to buy them? What's wrong with that picture?"

Dana Milbank has a column today certain to get a rise out of� Rob. His topic is this week's Republican primary for a House seat in Florida, in which a corporate lobbyist defeated a local GOP pol and a retired Marine general supported by the tea party. An excerpt:
The tea party has lost clout because the anger that once fueled the movement is fading. Frustration with government remains high, but the Conference Board, a corporate group that tracks consumer confidence, said in its most recent report that consumer sentiment regarding current economic conditions has reached its highest level since April 2008, before the financial meltdown. The spreading optimism has put into question the tea party�s warnings of an American collapse and attendant exhortations to buy gold and stockpile arms and food.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband for use in his office. He's a "gadget" guy so liked the lamp's unique features, especially the ability to charge his phone directly from the lamp base. After about a month of use, the adjustment screw mechanisms (there are two, one at the base, one half way up the arm) started slipping so the light would gradually start collapsing. Well, today, one just gave out completely so the top half of the light just flops down. Apparently the screw has stripped out. There doesn't appear to be a way to fix or replace the screw so we are just screwed -- pun intended. I will assure you that my husband isn't a "gorilla" with stuff like this but these adjustment screw mechanisms are so delicate it seem they just can't support the weight of the light with average or light use. I'm very disappointed since there is only a 30 day warranty and Overstock had this as a close out item with no returns.
For the money it's a decent lamp, however the solar cell doesn't charge. The innstructions are poor
I love this lamp! Very handy. I use it while working at my desk, in my home office, at night! I plug it into the computer! Don't have to mess with a wall plug! I've even used it as a flashlight a couple of times with out the power cable. Should come in very handy in a power outage! Haven't used the cell phone charger part as yet but that should be handy also!

U.S. Attorney Launches Caribbean Basin Initiative; Targets Narco-Traffickers Utilizing the Caribbean to Transship Narcotics to the United States
Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and Mark R. Trouville, Special Agent in Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Miami Field Division, announce the unsealing of a July 15, 2011 indictment against thirteen individuals on charges that they engaged in a narcotics trafficking conspiracy spanning from Colombia and Venezuela to the British Virgin Islands and the United States. Charged in the 19-count indictment are Roberto Mendez-Hurtado, 51, of Colombia, Alvaro Ricardo Nino-Bonilla, 40, of Colombia, Roberto Harrigan, 31, of the British Virgin Islands, Samuel Javier, 57, of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Jorge Ivan Riveros, 38, of Colombia, Luis Fernando Velasquez-Ramirez, 34, of Miami, Florida, Narciso Rondon-Mejia, 48, of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Severo Confessor, 70, of New York, New York, Earl DelVille Hodge, 51, of the British Virgin Islands, Juan Figueroa-Valdez, 38, of the British Virgin Islands, Carlston Beazer, 33, of the British Virgin Islands, Chad Skelton, 37, of the British Virgin Islands, and Humberto Gallego, 44, of Queens, New York.
A total of nine defendants have been arrested. Five were arrested in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, early this morning, including Earl Delville Hodge, a/k/a "Bob Hodge," a federal fugitive and cocaine trafficker living in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Also arrested in the British Virgin Islands were Harrigan, Figueroa-Valdez, Beazer, and Skelton. Two defendants, Confessor and Gallego, were arrested in New York earlier today, and one defendant (Velasquez-Ramirez) was arrested in Miami, Florida. The alleged leader of the drug trafficking organization, Roberto Mendez-Hurtado, was arrested on Sunday, August 21, 2011, in Cuenca, Ecuador, and deported to Bogota, Colombia. Four defendants remain at large.
According to the indictment, the defendants conspired to transport by airplane multi-hundred kilogram loads of cocaine from Apure, Venezuela, to the British Virgin Islands, where the cocaine was dropped into the ocean off the coast. The co-conspirators then used fast boats to retrieve the cocaine from the Caribbean Sea, with the intent that the cocaine would later be distributed in the United States.
U.S. Attorney Ferrer, joined by DEA Special Agent in Charge Mark R. Trouville and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Acting Special Agent in Charge Michael Shea, also announced the creation of the Southern District of Florida Caribbean Basin Initiative (the Initiative). In an effort to combat and deter any future surge in drug trafficking through the Caribbean Basin, the Initiative will focus on pro-actively identifying, investigating, and prosecuting current narco-traffickers that use the Caribbean Basin to effectuate the trans-shipment of narcotics to the United States.
As part of the Initiative, the U.S. Attorney's Office has specifically designated two experienced Assistant U.S. Attorneys in the Narcotics Section to focus on narco-trafficking activities in this region. For their part, DEA and ICE-HSI will continue to devote the necessary resources to support the Initiative, continue to develop resources to collect area-wide intelligence, and promote international law enforcement cooperation.
U.S. Attorney Ferrer stated, "Through innovative investigative and prosecutorial techniques, South Florida has long been a leader in the fight against narco-traffickers. The creation of the Caribbean Basin Initiative is yet another example of how law enforcement in South Florida is taking proactive approaches to develop forward-looking strategies to stay ahead of the ever-changing face of narcotics trafficking."
"The Drug Enforcement Administration has historically had its sights on the Caribbean Basin. While the recent trends indicate that a majority of cocaine brought into the United States comes through Mexico and the Southwest United States border, we continue our efforts in the Caribbean region and appreciate the initiative of the United States Attorney's Office and its pro-active strategy. Traffickers moved their routes to the Southwest border in the past because of law enforcement's efforts and hope this recent indictment reminds traffickers that we are still here and vigilant," said DEA Special Agent in Charge Mark R. Trouville.
ICE Acting Special Agent in Charge Michael Shea stated, "ICE-HSI has clearly seen a recent increase in maritime narcotics smuggling emanating from the Caribbean. With the focus and resources DHS has placed on the southwest border, it is natural to see smugglers revert to the Caribbean basin. This timely initiative will help law enforcement throughout South Florida to get ahead of this trend."
Mr. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of the DEA and ICE-HSI, and the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force who were supported by the Serious Organised Crime Agency. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Richard Gregorie and Kelly Karase.
Today's case, part of the Caribbean Basin Initiative, is a result of the ongoing efforts by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), a partnership between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The OCDETF mission is to identify, investigate, and prosecute high level members of drug trafficking and money laundering enterprises, bringing together the combined expertise and unique abilities of federal, state and local law enforcement.

The Dutch softball family connects in Tucson
Saturday, March 22nd, 2014 | No Commentsby Brie Haycraft
Senior, pitcher
Eldridge, Iowa
As the delicious Mexican food settles in our tummies tonight, there is no doubt in my mind that the Central Softball family is absolutely unlike any other. Not that it has taken me four years to figure this out, but I am reminded yet again after an eventful, fun-filled dinner with our parents and fans at Las Fuentes. The Dutch celebrated two more wins today with a tasty buffet, sombreros, a Conga line, tons of smiles, and obviously great company.
The highlight of the night (especially for the seniors) was the ambush on the coaching staff. My dad cleverly suggested that it would be pretty epic to snap a photo of the coaches wearing the elaborate Mexican sombreros—but we all knew this would be no small task to accomplish. Lexi and I brainstormed various tactics during dinner, and eventually came up with a foolproof plan: Us seniors would put on the sombreros first, snap a few pics, dance around a bit, and end up surrounding the coaches for the perfect seniors-plus-coaches photo op. Then, as my dad counted down to snap the picture, on "three" the six of us simultaneously (and flawlessly) transferred the sombreros from our own heads to the coaches'—with perfect timing to capture their reactions on film. SUCCESS!! It was a proud moment for the senior class, and everyone shared quite a few laughs over our expertly executed plan.
Another classic moment was when Coach Grimes sought revenge on Chelsea for having to be the "birthday boy" at Texas Roadhouse a few nights ago. Since the whole team threw Chelsea under the bus as the one who told our waitress that Coach Grimes needed to celebrate on the saddle, sneaky Coach Grimes had it out for poor Nugget. Forcing Chels to dance around on stage with the performer (along with Felicia's dad, the REAL birthday boy) to the Mexican 'Happy Birthday' song was the perfect way for Coach Grimes to get even. The enormous smile on his face was priceless, and we were all impressed at his clever retaliation.
Overall, tonight was by far the most fun we've had at our annual spring trip parent dinner. As we all gather together, it is incredibly obvious to any observer that this group shares something that goes way beyond the game of softball. The Central softball family is truly unlike any other, and I am beyond thankful that the love, support, and relationships we share will endure long after the games come to an end. Go Dutch!
Geckos love the desert–and freshmen

As we continue our trip in Tucson, we are all settled in and having some fun. There is never a dull moment with the Central Softball team. Paige thought she would do her part to keep this trip interesting by chipping one of her front teeth. Although we are sure there is a good story behind it, Paige swears she has no idea how it happened. To keep the good times rolling, while waiting to load the bus before some of our games, Jordan found a little gecko. But what good does finding a gecko do if you can't scare some of the freshmen with it! The gecko had his first rides of the day on Sarah Bowen and Karlee Rock's shoulders. Sarah had a nice scare thinking that it was a wasp and Karlee quickly tried to flick him off her shoulder. Since he wasn't welcome on Sarah's or Karlee's shoulder we thought he could have one last chance on freshman Abbie Voas' shoulder. Needless to say, the best reaction was saved for last. Abbie, being quite the country girl… ok, maybe not… freaked out after Jordan calmly asked her what was on her shoulder. After finally saving the gecko from Abbie's flailing body, the gecko was returned to his home to have a relaxing rest of his day. Even one of our team members, Sebastian (a stuffed animal snake), made our day more adventurous when he decided to take a field trip onto the softball field in the middle of the game. After spending a solid half inning on the field with our defense, he was rescued by Chelsea and returned to his perch on the fence.
After playing the first 8 games of our season, the team had a "family day" to rest and recuperate. The team used this day to explore many different things in Arizona. While some of the girls explored Arizona by hiking and driving through the scenery, a few of the girls took a more thrilling ride on ATVs. The girls on ATVs even managed to come back with all their limbs attached. Kallie and Paige took a slightly more unpredictable route by riding horses to see some desert scenery. Despite problems with their horses stopping to go to the bathroom and snacking instead of walking, I'd say their trip was pretty successful. Whitney and her dad Brian spent the day chasing and catching geckos. Luckily for us, Whitney is better at fielding ground balls than she is at catching geckos! The Central Baseball team even got some support from the softball girls as they played Crown (Minn.). Family day was a nice chance for everyone to see a little bit of Arizona before we get back to the best part of being here, playing competitive softball… Central style!
Behind the scenes: Room 236

Broadcasting from room 236 at the hotel, we are here to tell you how it has been here in sunny Tucson, outside of the 6 games we have played so far. Where to begin? No, honestly, where to begin. We start our day with the breakfast of champions, literally. Central College did it big by letting us stay here. Take your pick from the variety, which includes great chocolate milk and pancakes every day!! We then spend hours getting ready; we mean we are the best looking team in the nation! Needless to say I (Kallie) have more hair appointments than necessary. But by the time we leave for the field everybody is braided back tightly, pulled together with a rubber band, and tied with up with gameday bow. And then comes the van ride. And let us tell you….we ride in the REAL COOL VAN! Don't let others fool you, the Pewter Dove (other van) was not the original. Needless to say as our van pulls up, we rush to read the special signs put up by our fearless driver, Larry. He never fails to make us laugh and prove why we are really the Cool Van (and the true queens of the circle).
Jam Sesh. Coming from our co-pilot, Jordan Overland, there is never a dull moment as we cruise to the game blaring the latest tunes. We throw it back with a little Whitney Houston and bring it around with Timber by Ke$ha to get us ready for the day. Last but not least, as we roll up to the field, she plays World's Greatest by R. Kelly. We belt it out (even though some of us probably shouldn't) and serenade the Pewter Dove as we pile out.
In our free time, not getting ready for a game or playing a game, you can find us in the hot tub playing the movie game, or playing cards, or catching a few Zzz. In room 236 we spend our free time getting to know the newbie: Miss Abbie Voas. She may seem quiet and reserved, but you have never lived with her. Not only does she snore, but she is quite the giggler and tends to be the life of the room. She enjoys canoeing, hugging Pillowpets, playing with ribbons, and long walks on the beach (aka the hotel pool side). In her free time she has been napping on the couch and braiding Taylor's hair. Quite a strenuous schedule if you ask us. Needless to say we have enjoyed getting to know her and can't wait to be roomies for a another whole week. And then there is Annie. Well, the only good thing about her being our roommate is that we get to keep the food in our room. We can't argue with that. (Just kidding Annie we love you!)
Back to the softball part, we are tired and worn out, but we can't wait to get back on the field tomorrow and bring home two more Ws. That's what we're here to do right? Why not us?
Saving the day on the way to Tucson

Another year, another new set of memories. So far in our journey towards becoming national champions, it seems that we have begun to get in a habit of making saves. Right away to start our trip, our bus "Slippy" decided it didn't want to play any of our CDs. With the save was Whitney in her suggestion to play the game "Heads Up." I'm sure Coach enjoyed our screaming and jumping around trying to give hints to the different categories we were playing.
The second save of the day was all thanks to Norma, our bus driver. Annie neglected to grab her glove off of the bus at the airport (a rather vital piece of equipment for a softball trip), but thankfully Norma was nice enough to turn the bus around to get the glove back to Annie.
Another save was made early this morning before our first game. Abbie Voas may or may not have forgotten her cleats back at the hotel…(cough) freshman (cough)… so it was bullpen catcher Abby Stier to the rescue offering her size 11 cleats to Abbie V. who wears a size 9. One of the biggest saves of the day thus far, though, came from Mr. Brian Sowers (third baseman Whitney Sowers' dad). Trisha Smith was told to go out to the bullpen to start warming up, so her back was to the field. A high foul ball was hit and it was on the path to go straight at Trisha's head. Then out of the blue, Brian bounded towards Trish and deflected the ball from hitting her. Talk about a close call!
Aside from all of the saves we've had, there have been some adjustments down here in Tucson. For beginners, a lot of us missed the memo that we should have tried getting a tan session in before going outside in the sunny weather. Since we were practically glowing, a couple of us (including me) thought going without sun screen at our first outdoor practice would be a good idea. BIG MISTAKE…HUGE! (Cue Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman). Let's just say we had some tender shoulders today. As we are still trying to adjust to the sun, we are quickly getting back into the groove of the Arizona atmosphere. Being here now for the fourth straight year has begun to be a bit of a routine for the Central softball team. With constant sunshine, birds chirping around, and a fan club the size of some people's hometowns, it's hard not to love following the Central softball crowd around.

Why Did the GL Content Change?
- Posted by Johanna on August 31, 2006 at 10:22 pm
- Category: Graphic Novel News
Does anyone know why DC changed the content of the Green Lantern Greatest Stories Ever Told book they just brought out?
It looks like they eliminated all the 1940s era stories promised, plus a Superman-as-Green-Lantern story by Elliot S. Maggin (Superman #257), Green Lantern: Mosaic #5, and the Alan Moore story from Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual #3. That's the F-Sharp Bell one, certainly one of the best-known Green Lantern stories. I can understand (although not agree with) DC wanting to avoid dealing with Moore any further, given the recent V for Vendetta contretemps, but what's the problem with the rest of the material?
8 Responses to "Why Did the GL Content Change?"
- Kelson Says:
September 1, 2006 at 1:40 AMJust a guess on the Alan Moore story. I recall hearing that either "For the Man Who Has Everything" or "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" was pulled from the new edition of Superman Greatest Stories Ever Told. Both those stories and the F-Sharp Bell are printed in DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore, which came out earlier this year.
So as far as those are concerned, maybe they figure the stories are already out in a high-profile reprint book, and why duplicate them when they can put something else in the space?
If the Elliot S! Maggin story is in the Greatest Imaginary Stories book released last(?) year, that might explain that one, too. (I don't know if it is, I've only flipped through the book to see which Flash story is included.)
No idea on the 1940s stuff.
- Johanna Says:
September 1, 2006 at 6:54 AMOh, good speculation, thank you!
I've reviewed the Imaginary Stories book, but I don't recall if that one is in it.
- Hal Shipman Says:
September 1, 2006 at 8:11 AMIt's not. Though the principle might hold regarding the Moore story. I would like it if they had more of a no duplication policy – for example, with the Imaginary Story volume, I have my 4th or 5th reprint of Superman-Red, Superman-Blue. I went ahead and bought it for the other stories, but the relative value of the volume was diminished.
- chasdom Says:
September 1, 2006 at 10:35 AMFrom reading the thread here:
.. I would guess that somewhere along the line, DC decided to make this book a "Greatest Hal Jordan Stories" instead of the broader "Greatest Green Lantern Stories" book.
Personally, I'm disappointed, but I guess they had their reasons. I'm surprised they didn't notify retailers earlier, though, especially if they thought the new contents were a better idea.
- Johanna Says:
September 1, 2006 at 1:06 PMThanks for the additional information. It is surprising that DC hasn't made more announcements about this; they're usually good about that.
- Lisa Lopacinski Says:
September 1, 2006 at 1:18 PMMy guess it has something to do with paying royalties. From what I've heard, DC hates to pay royalties to people. Did you know that DC Direct doesn't pay royalties to the artists who have action figures designed from their comic book art?
- Tony Isabella Says:
September 2, 2006 at 11:27 AMI can't address whether or not the artists get/got paid, but I received some royalty payments when Kenner (I think) did a Black Lightning action figure several years ago.
It's pretty much a crap-shoot when it comes to DC paying me royalties. There have been times when they didn't pay me for things I felt they should've paid me for…and times when they did pay me my royalties after I challenged them on it. I know this has been the case for some other creators as well.
- Comics Worth Reading Says:
January 2, 2007 at 6:42 AM[…] It's about time! I'm glad to see Wonder Woman: The Greatest Stories Ever Told (JAN07 0323, $19.99), although I'd like to know more about its contents. Perhaps DC learned from the outcry over the changed contents of the Green Lantern book not to promise anything ahead of time. […]

Jennifer Leigh Design will be shutting down so I can team up with my very talented mom at InsideOut Design, Etc!
This is pretty exciting because it means I get to work from home and be involved in some really great jobs.
Here's a kitchen she designed a couple years ago:
It's probably my favourite reno to date. This house is one that my mom and I used to walk by when I was younger and admire from the road.
It's so perfectly situated between the trees and I always wanted to see inside. I never dreamed that I'd actually be able to!
We're currently working on a few more super exciting jobs so I hope to see you all over at the new blog for InsideOut Design, Etc. and please go "like" our facebook page as well!

Tel HaShomer (Hebrew: תֵּל הַשּׁוֹמֵר, lit. Hill of the Guardsman) or Kiryat Krenizi is a Neighborhood in Ramat Gan, Israel. Is bordered to the north by Kiryat Ono, to the east by Yehud, and to the south by Or Yehuda. A major Israel Defense Forces base and the Sheba Medical Center are located in Tel HaShomer.
Tel Litvinsky (later Tel Hashomer) was a moshava established in 1934 by Moshe and Emil Litvinsky in memory of their father Elhanan Litvinsky. The first inhabitants were Jewish immigrants from Germany and Poland. In 1936, it was noted for its high proportion of academics and doctors.[1] During World War II, most of the village lands were expropriated for the construction of a British military base. The base was of strategic importance because it controlled the Jaffa–Lydda Airport road. It was also used to house Italian prisoners of war.
A Jewish attack on the base took place on November 29, 1947, when the Palmach stole explosives and 75 rifles.[2] Towards of the end of the British Mandate of Palestine, Arabs under the command of Hasan Salama began smuggling in arms and personnel disguised as laborers into the camp. The Haganah command saw this as a threat and on April 15, 1948, two companies for the 32nd and 33rd Battalions of the Alexandroni Brigade entered and captured the base. Arab forces counterattacked from al-Khayriyya, Kafr 'Ana, al-'Abbasiyya and Saqiya, but the Jewish forces reinforced and pushed them back to a small salient in the south of the camp, which was captured later in Operation Hametz. The Alexandroni Brigade lost three soldiers, which the Arab losses are estimated at about 50.[3]
The area was renamed to Tel HaShomer in 1948, after HaShomer, an early Ottoman-period Jewish defense organization.
It is well known for its central Israel Defense Forces base (Camp Yaakov Dori), which contains important installations such as:
Adjacent to the base there are both military and civilian hospitals (in adjoining complexes) known as the Tel HaShomer Hospital. The civilian hospital is named Sheba Medical Center and is under the municipal jurisdiction of Ramat Gan. Magen David Adom has its headquarters and main blood bank on site.
