Mariners dealt perfect hand they didn't want
SEATTLE -- The Mariners were a part of baseball history on Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't the kind they wanted.
White Sox starter Philip Humber threw the 21st perfect game in Major League history, and the Mariners were the team on the other end, losing, 4-0.
Twenty-seven Mariners went to the plate and 27 made outs. It was the first perfect game against the Mariners, the first perfecto and no-hitter in Safeco Field history and the first no-hitter against Seattle since Dwight Gooden of the Yankees turned the trick in New York on May 14, 1996. The only other no-hitter against the Mariners was a combined no-no by the Angels' Mark Langston (seven innings) and Mike Witt (two innings) in Anaheim on April 11, 1990.
Mariners manager Eric Wedge, who said he had never been a part of a perfect game or even a no-hitter in all his years in the sport, acknowledged the fact that Humber's feat was a rare accomplishment in the annals of baseball. He also acknowledged his team's part in allowing it to happen.
"Humber pitched a great ballgame, [White Sox catcher A.J.] Pierzynski did a great job working with him out there and we really never got anything going," Wedge said. "He worked ahead all day long. When he did get behind and had to come in, we missed fastballs. It's a bad combination. But he pitched a heck of a ballgame."
The final out of the game came on a strikeout to pinch-hitter Brendan Ryan, who swung and missed, but Pierzynski threw to first to complete the out when Ryan argued the call with home-plate umpire Brian Runge and didn't run to first.
"I don't even want to talk about [the call]," Ryan said. "I will say that was a pretty outstanding game he threw. He had his slider working, obviously, and pounded the zone, kept his pitch count down. Pretty outstanding stuff from him today."
Even if Ryan had reached first base, the no-hitter would still have been alive, and Humber didn't make many mistakes all day.
It took the right-hander only 96 pitches to accomplish the feat, he went to a three-ball count only twice -- both in the ninth inning -- and the closest the Mariners came to getting a hit was in the fourth inning, when Seattle second baseman Dustin Ackley hit a hard line drive to deep right field, but White Sox outfielder Alex Rios caught up to it and reached up, jumping slightly to make the catch. After that, Humber cruised to the finish line, kicking off a road celebration.
"When I hit it, I saw the trajectory on it, I felt it was a ball in the gap," Ackley said. "I was telling some guys that the guy out there [Rios] is 6-foot-6 or however tall, and he was playing fairly deep and he made a great play on it.
"At that point, that early, nobody's really thinking about anything other than trying to get hits. You're only down two or three runs at that point, just trying to get runners on, and you don't really think of it that early that this might be the only chance you've got. "
But it was.
The Mariners were flummoxed by Humber from the beginning. After two groundouts and a lineout in the first inning, Humber struck out Justin Smoak, Kyle Seager and Jesus Montero in succession in the second. After that, the quick outs kept coming.
Four of the next nine outs came via pop flies, and Humber needed only 20 total pitches to get through the fourth, fifth and sixth frames, with six pitches in each of the sixth and seventh. In the eighth, Humber started out as strong as he had been all day, striking out Smoak. Seager got a rise out of the crowd for a brief moment with a flare to left field, but it was hit right at Brent Lillibridge, who put it away for a routine second out, and Montero grounded out weakly to second base to set up the ninth-inning dramatics.
"He had command of all his pitches," Ackley said. "There wasn't one pitch you could eliminate. He was throwing his changeup, he was throwing his little slider, curveball, locating his fastball, getting ahead. I think that was by far the key for him. If he didn't have control of a couple of his pitches, it may be a different story, but he was throwing all of them for strikes and getting ahead, and he threw a good game."
Mariners starter Blake Beavan turned in a quality start, pitching six innings and giving up three runs on seven hits. He was touched up by a solo home run by Paul Konerko to lead off the second inning, and Konerko and Pierzynski hit back-to-back RBI singles in the third, but Beavan righted himself after that, retiring eight consecutive batters to finish his day. The White Sox scored their fourth run in the top of the ninth against Mariners reliever Steve Delabar.
"Obviously, we wanted to try to get ahead and win the game, but at the same time, you've got a guy like Humber battling out there and making pitches and everything going the right way, some things you just can't do," Beavan said. "That's the first time I've [been on the same field during a perfect game] in pro ball. I've never seen anything like that."
Beavan wasn't the only one. The Mariners came into the game with a .235 team batting average and exited with that number down to .223. Wedge said it's imperative that the team use the historic loss to its advantage, starting Sunday afternoon against the same White Sox.
"When you talk about some of our younger players and even some of the players that have been around a little bit, when you go through something like this, it's history, but it's also something you have to learn from -- where you are, heartbeat-wise, in the latter innings of that game ... from certain points in time when you go through certain at-bats, what happened and why," Wedge said.
"You've got to learn from anything like this, you've got to take something from it and make sure you get better for it."
And how does that start?
"Just be ready tomorrow," Mariners veteran Chone Figgins said. "There's still a long way to go. It's one of them freak days in baseball. You come to the ballpark, you never know what's going to happen. I've never been a part of it.
"I guess this is the day I was."

Since he retired from teaching almost 20 years ago, my dad's embarked on a second career as a writer. He followed my into journalism and began writing a column in our hometown newspaper that was eventually syndicated to a handful of other weekly papers in Eastern Kentucky.
Then, he started writing books. His latest came out this week. It's called The Overnight City: The Life and Times of Van Lear, Kentucky 1908-1947.
Van Lear was a coal-company town, and if the name rings a bell, it's probably because you're a fan of the country singer Loretta Lynn. She sings about Van Lear in her song, "Coal Miner's Daughter."
"My daddy worked all night in the Van Lear coal mines…."
Van Lear was founded in 1908 by Consolidation Coal Co. and fell into decline when Consolidation Coal sold its holdings in 1947. The town itself survived, but with a dwindling population and only a handful of businesses, the city government was dissolved in the 1960s. Van Lear is an unincorporated community now.
In its heyday, though, it was something else. It had stores and churches and schools and a movie theater and a coal-fired power plant that provided electricity to a big part of the Big Sandy Valley. There were murders and fights and moonshiners, but there were also baseball games and 8th-grade graduations and "society news," which was really just a list of who visited whom.
Dad went through 40 years' wrote of old newspapers to find everything he could about the life and times of Van Lear, and when you read these hundreds of clips in chronological order, you get a real sense of what it must have been like to live there in the first half of the 20th century.
Anyway, that's my shameless plug. The book's at Amazon and in the Kindle store. If you're from that part of the country, you might enjoy it. If you're from someplace else, well, we won't hold it against you.

Here's a quick tip that works well for me: For predefined lists, searches, and Smart lists, there is a PRINT link which will display all the tasks in that list in a printer-friendly format in a new window. I have a smartlist which holds all of my 'Next actions'. I click the print link and have a nicely formatted list which I can obviously print out. However INSTEAD, I leave the window open in my browser. If I change anything on my list, I go back to that open page and hit refresh. Voila! the list updates in its nice formatted style. So now every morning I come to my office PC, hit refresh and a new updated task list quickly pops right up. Extending this further, you can simply bookmark this link and whenever you call it up (even with a Launchy shortcut) you get your nicely formatted and up to date list. Oh it keeps going!! - If you bookmark this on your cell phone browser, you now have a nice zippy text version of your list that won't keep you waiting forever to download. You will get asked for your login credentials if your cookies aren't saved. What there's more!! - Works on the iPhone as well, however mobile Safari scales the webpage so that text is way too small to read needing to scale the page manually. REQUEST!! The Apple developer site offers that a single line of HTML can change this: meta name="viewport" content="width = 320" / With this, the viewport of the webpage is optimized for the iPhone, and if you're not using an iPhone, the page renders normally. I've tried on this on a couple of my own webpages which now render very nicely on my iPhone Of course, this may be obsolete when the iPhone optimized version of RTM comes out, right? ;) But until then, maybe this would be nice to add to the stylesheet for printed pages? Think this gets me an honorary PRO account? :)

I found this really amusing. Simple, yet powerful. And perfect for Next Actions. Thanks for the tip jjeudymd! Bern

May 23, 2006: NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured the first-ever picture of a group of five star-like images of a single distant quasar.
The multiple-image effect seen in the Hubble picture is produced by a process called gravitational lensing, in which the gravitational field of a massive object in this case, a cluster of galaxies bends and amplifies light from an object in this case, a quasar farther behind it.

text: What's the difference between "devfreq" and "cpufreq"? I get the impression that devfreq is more capable and comprehensive, but I'm not sure if it's meant to supplement cpufreq or replace it. I've been a longtime cpufreq user, but am curious, since it appears that devfreq may be better. However I haven't found much in the way of userspace packages (Gentoo ebuilds, for instance) for devfreq.

The VCU Core Education Program provides a compact between VCU and its students. The university pledges to provide opportunities for students to improve their oral and written communication competency, to develop their critical thinking abilities, to improve their ability to work collaboratively on projects, to attain information fluency, to achieve quantitative literacy and to understand ethical perspectives and civic responsibilities in the 21st century.
Along with an emphasis on student-centered learning, the primary goals of the Core Education Program are to:
Mission of the Core: By providing shared learning experiences, the Core Education Program helps students develop competencies necessary for lifelong success.
The Core Education Program consists of 21 credit hours intended to be completed by the end of the sophomore year. Individual schools determine all other curricular requirements for their programs of study. All VCU students are required to take UNIV 111, 112 and 200. A minimum grade of C is required in UNIV 112 and UNIV 200. Transfer credits are not accepted for these courses after a student is enrolled at the university.
The Core Education Program includes three tiers.
6 credit hours: UNIV 111 and 112 Focused Inquiry I and II: This two-semester sequence is required of all first-year students and provides the foundation of the Core Education Program. A minimum grade of C is required in UNIV 112. Students begin their Core shared experiences through the summer reading program with follow-through in the FI sequence as they engage in similar assignments and projects both in and out of class.
As a complement to the first tier, Tier II courses reinforce the learning objectives introduced in the Focused Inquiry sequence. Courses in this tier are drawn from across the university and include:

Very nice, affectionate child. Helps caregivers, participates in orphanage performances, likes to study.
Can you look into this smiling face and NOT smile back?!
From a family who met him: Charlie is a real sweetheart. He is friendly to all, well behaved, well mannered and follows directions well. He loves to draw and color. He gets along well with the other children in his groupa. He can talk and feeds himself and dresses himself. He would fit in well with younger or older children! He was reserved around us but lit up when I started talking to him. His hugs are precious. He is well-loved by the other children and the workers.
Andrue was raised by his birth family until he was 9 months old. At that time, he was hospitalized for genetic testing and when the diagnosis of Down syndrome was confirmed, he was left at the hospital. He was then transferred to an orphanage and later on, to an institution for children with mental disabilities, which is his current home. He walks, climbs and catches a ball. He likes to play with stuffed animals and has one favorite stuffed animal that he carries around with him. He reacts to his name and follows simple directions. He pronounces some syllables and attempts to communicate, but his speech is not yet developed. He smiles when spoken to and enjoys cuddling with familiar adults.

He follows verbal directions and says a few one and two syllable words. He knows the difference between familiar people and strangers and enjoys receiving individualized attention from adults.

From an adoptive family who visited him in 2014: " He is hilarious. He is on puree but can take some lumps. That means he is usually the last to eat and squacks with displeasure. He loves to makes noises with his lips and will thrive in a family. I bet he will learn to speak. When I came to visit my son he came and sat on the couch next to me and held my hand for 20 minutes. He is not particularly shy. He does very small bits of rocking and does not do much stimming. He is a favorite of the caretakers. He is a sweet and curious little guy who is the size of a 4 or 5 year old."
From an adoptive family who visited with him in June 2013: I met Delmar today. He is really tiny … maybe the size of a 3 year old, very petite in build. He was quite shy and didn't want to come near me. He moved away when I tried to touch his hand. He was more open with the therapist who was there (a guy). Mostly he just sat on a mat, rocking and looking into space. Occasionally he waved his hands around. He's a beautiful little boy, and was adorable in a tiny pair of overalls.

Handsome Gabriel! 13 years old and really needs a loving, experienced family to give him the life he deserves. He probably has a bit of ADHD, possibly ASD. He is considered relatively low functioning (compared to other children with Down syndrome). But he is active, able, and deserving of a better life than he's got!
Gabriel will do best in an environment without younger children. He is a big boy and can be assertive at times. He has tremendous potential and I can't wait to see him blossom in his new family! Older parents and larger families welcome!

Boy, born January 2002
DS, atrial septal defect, polydactyly of the left hand
From a volunteer who met him in November 2014: "Artemur really needs to get out. Artemur is probably the strongest and one of the biggest children in his group, eventhough he's only the size of a preschooler. The nurse who knew how to handle this group, an Artemur, isn't there anymore. Artemurs behavior has gone worse. He bullies other children and he hits them. He doesn't listen when nurses try to correct him. But as soon as he gets the positive attention of an adult he totally changes, he starts smiling and behaving very sweet. He is desperate for love and attention. They allowed us to take him (and some other stronger children) for a walk and that makes him so excited. He runs around and he want to explore everything there is to see. It's a very eager boy. He just needs someone to teach him how to interact with other children. I think he would do best in a family with no younger (or at least smaller) children. Artemur is potty trained. When the nurses ask him to help bring the toys inside or push a wheel chair he will help. He knows how to react on verbal instructions. He has some language, but his language isn't very clear. I have never seen him communicate about his needs with the nurses."
Artemur is a handsome boy who has already been waiting far too long for a family of his own!
Large families welcome, multiple children may be adopted together from the same orphanage. Married couples only; travel required.
From someone who met Artemur in 2012: Artemur is a ladies man He loves to greet visitors with a formal "Hello", a chair for the visitor to sit on, and for the ladies he'll kiss their hands and
sometimes request a kiss by pointing to his cheek. He has ten toes and ten fingers, and appears healthy. He is one of the two highest functioning boys in his group and is a big helper. He is quite verbal, and he has good self-care skills, he is able to feed himself and ask to use the restroom. He likes to play with etch a sketches, toy phones, and bubbles. Artemur would probably do better in a family environment where he can be the youngest in the family.

NEW PICS OF DYLAN! Lots more available, please inquire. He can be adopted with Harley, if a family is approved and interested!
This handsome little guy has eyes that cross, so an opthamologist visit will be in order when he gets home. He's looks pretty small for his age! Doesn't he look like he needs a Mama to scoop him up & snuggle?
Update June 2013: Dylan is an energetic, smart, and goofy little boy. Physically, he looks about 5 or 6 years old, but has the attitude of a teenager. He can be extremely aggressive – he shoved other children out of the way when I was holding them to try and get to me and hits other children. I can't tell you how many times he headbutted me in the face. But he can also be very loving – one of the other missionaries was crying and he just sat in her lap and hugged her until she stopped. Dylan is also very smart. When he wanted to go outside, I told him he had to have shoes on…I didn't expect him to go bring his shoes to me! He also has an extensive vocabulary and loves his Montessori classes at the orphanage.
Update March 2014:
Dylan has a lot of personality! Dylan would do well in a family with older children, especially teen boys that love to roughhouse and wrestle! He's quite the clown, and extremely verbal and capable. As someone mentioned before, he is also rather aggressive in getting what he wants, not only because he seems oblivious to personal space, but also because he will not hesitate to grab what he wants and assert his strength over weaker ones. He's 11, and is strong, stands about the height of a typical 9-10 year old. He also seems to have a mischievous streak and is very impulsive, which can result in him pinching people unprovoked. Although he has a lot of potential, he definitely needs the right environment and very patient and experienced parents in order to thrive.

Michael says "HI MOM, do you see me? I'm waiting for you!" Michael is a handsome, happy, and active little boy! He has been blessed to be very loved and well taken care of! But here he is waving to his new mama, wherever she may be! FULL MEDICAL and SOCIAL RECORDS available. Michael is described as very loving and affectionate. He is well adjusted and attached to his caregivers. He is very active and physically capable…a typical boy! He receives therapy regularly and continues to work on his speech. Please consider Michael! His adoption will open doors for so many more children in this wonderful, but small, program!
From his caregivers: Michael attends a school for children with special needs. He has been in the orphanage since he was 2 1/2 years old. Michael is very affectionate and has achieved a certain level of independence. He demonstrates an ability to adapt quickly in various situations and has great capacity to give and receive affection. He is working on improving his pronunciation.
Update Feb 2012: (further records available on development)
He is a child with fast adaptation to new situations, however when he gets confidence and trust to somebody, he has demanding and resistant behavior when somebody don't do what he wants. The lack of an appropriate way to express his ideas, emotions and thoughts, generates emotions like sadness and frustration; this usually can be manifested in situations who are demanding.
Michael is a happy child, likes to show his affection, affectionate and with big desires of attention. His social development corresponds to mild retardation. In self-reliance activities his performance is independent, for which he only requires slight supervision. In activities which involve expressive and written language he still requires support.
Michael's country is *beautiful* to visit, and is rich in culture and history. Amazing trip no matter what time of year!

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2014! From one of our adoptive families who visited with him: " The institution he is living in has undergone a lot of changes in the last year after a new director was appointed. The building has been remodeled so that the children now live in family style groups with multiple bedrooms for two children each, a living room, small kitchen, dining room, two bathrooms, laundry room and a visiting area. During free time the children move around between the rooms as they please and we have seen the children in Andruis' group helping with some of the daily living tasks – clearing dishes, vacuuming, assisting children who cannot feed themselves and so on.
Andruis is in a group with seven other children of varying ages and special needs. He is a very quiet, peaceful, gentle boy. He prefers to play with dolls and stuffed animals and he generally keeps his distance from the loudest and most active children. We watched him sit with a much smaller, weaker child who crawled on Andruis and stroked his hair for a solid half an hour and Andruis was not at all defensive or rough with the littler boy. His caregivers say that he does not speak, but hears and understands what is said to him. He can dress and use the bathroom with minimal assistance. He has had trouble with his teeth since being transferred to the institution and eats only soft foods, but he feeds himself neatly and clears his own dishes when he is finished. He is shy and new people in his environment cause him to withdraw a bit, but I saw him snuggle up to and smile at a familiar caregiver and he interacts appropriately with the other children in the group.
He attends a nearby school for children with special needs and participates in many therapies and activities. If he is not adopted he will remain at the same institution for the rest of his life, moving from the children's to the adult's wing when he turns 21. The director is very interested in seeing children adopted, but a bit incredulous that anyone would want them. Our daughter is the first child ever to be adopted, domestically or internationally, from this institution. It would be wonderful if Andruis could be the second!"
Thank God for a new photo and updated info about Andruis! Andruis is a precious little boy who is 12 years old. He is a New Year's Eve baby, so he brings the promise of great things in every new year!
Andruis has some hearing loss and wears hearing aids. He continuously receives speech and music therapy. As you can see from his photo, he is doing well, but desperately needs a family as he has been living at the institution since 2007.
Andruis attends the 5th grade at the special needs school. He is able to walk/run and is active. He smiles and is affectionate, but shy around people he doesn't know. He does not have much speech at all, but so much of this is due to his poor hearing. Imagine how is world could open up with improved hearing aids! His entire world, everything he processes, is delayed due to hearing impairment….signing may be the key to opening his whole world. He is able to eat on his own. He needs help with self-care/hygiene. Andruis has SO much potential in a loving family. He's been waiting SO long and has lost so much time when he should have been at home!
From his medical records: born premature at 35 weeks, 4th pregnancy. Down syndrome, cognitively delayed, cochlear neuritis – hearing impairment. Atopic dermatitis. Hypermetropia on both eyes. FULL MEDICAL RECORDS available upfront.
This is a GREAT country program, with excellent health and social care, and full medical records available upfront. Andruis has been listed with us for many years, it's his turn to find a family! Interested families should be home study approved (or close to it) to adopt an older institutionalized child and should not have very young children in the home. Experienced adoptive families may be the best fit for Andruis. Please inquire! He is running out of time.

Handsome Fritz is already 13 years old. He has blonde hair and hazel eyes. Fritz is blessed to live in a nice orphanage, but he needs a family of his own. He is considered lower functioning, and really needs a family who is experienced with adopting older children.
Fritz may struggle with some sensory or ASD challenges….he is very responsive but needs a lot of self-help and guidance from parents/caregivers. He would probably do best in a family where he can get lots of attention from his parents and older typical siblings….be the focus of the family!
Wonderful program, outstanding agency partner…older parents, large families, and single moms welcome. More photos and medical info available.

Down syndrome, deafness, strabismus
Tanner was transferred to a group home in 2014. He is very small for his age and has delays in all aspects of his development. While he has an official diagnosis of deafness, he does respond to some sounds, so it is thought that he has some degree of hearing loss, but that he is not completely deaf. He does not have any speech, but he does respond to some basic commands and also to hand gestures. It is possible that many of his delays could be compensated for once his hearing issues are addressed.

He is the favorite of the children at school. He is not aggressive and doesn't get irritated by the other children. His expressive speech is not developed.

So glad to have a new photo of Duane! He's making silly faces for you.
From a volunteer who visited with him in July 2014: " Duane is a wonderful boy, but he doesn't get the attention he deserves. It is getting harder to interact with him. He responds less and less when you try to interact with him. Even when you are interacting with him, he loses interest and he will lay on the floor again.
He is best friends with Isolde, but she has been put in a different group now. Nobody ever puts them together, so that's what we did this summer. The nurses first wouldn't let us, but we explained that they are best friends and then it was okay. They hugged for minutes, until he was getting weaker (his legs aren't really strong) and he lay down on the floor again. Isolde tried to get him to hug some more or to play a game through the bars from the playpen, but he didn't react anymore. I'm afraid that next year he'll be worse again. He needs to get out. Duane has some language, but is mainly non-verbal. He shows no agressive behaviors, but as said, he is getting weaker, he is showing less and less behaviors at all. Someone needs to go and get him out of there."
From someone who met Duane in 2012: Sweet little Duane is the huggiest boy I've ever met! He is a determined, strong willed little guy and is up walking and chasing after balls despite some mild CP on his left side that causes his left knee to extend backwards in a painful looking manner. He has an amazing laugh, though it is sometimes a mischievous laugh. He sometimes feels the need to push boundaries, such as throwing balls at the other children, but he is a boy with a lot of love to give, both to the adults and the other kids in his group. He also sometimes gives massages. I feel he would especially thrive in a house where he is the youngest, or at least the smallest child in the home.
Significant features of FAS, shared as a cautionary disclosure for families considering his needs.
Duane's best friend is Isolde; they could be adopted together.
Down syndrome, autistic traits
YAY!!!!!! A new photo of Adam!
Adam has lived in a mental institution since shortly after his 4th birthday. Visitors to the institution have described it as very nice and more like a nice hotel than a mental institution. The children are well cared for and have many opportunities to experience things. Yet Adam is still missing the love and attention that comes with having a family of his own.
Adam is 10 years old. He walks and his gross motor skills are well developed. He does not talk at this time but does follow verbal directions. He feeds himself with a spoon but still requires some assistance with dressing. He plays with toys and enjoys music time, but prefers to play alone instead of with the other children. He is not aggressive toward himself nor others and is described as "a calm child". He does the stereotypical rocking back and forth when sitting, which is a common "orphanage behavior". He attends school in the local village. He's in a special education class. He is not interested in most school activities, though he does enjoy music time.
Adam is currently living in a group home. He walks independently and goes up and down stairs, but is very careful and always seeks support before acting. He electively carries out orders and doesn't react to his name. He plays for a short time and doesn't seek contact with the children from the group. He has preferences for certain toys but doesn't use them according to their purpose. He is apt to seclusion and avoids group activities. He is a calm child, reacts to emotional stimuli and differentiates different tones of the voice. During celebrations and musical activities he moves away to play on his own. He requires assistance for tasks such as dressing and toileting.

Boy, Born November 12, 2002
Down syndrome
Ruslan is a handsome young man who is in desperate need of a family right away. He has strabismus, and is also a CARRIER of Hepatitis B. (www.webmd.com) He is asymptomatic at this time. We are trying to get more details on his Hep B….he is living in the general population of children, so they don't appear to be very concerned about him transmitting it to other children. (Typically, children with blood-born viruses such as Hep B and HIV are isolated in special orphanages and never available to be adopted, so we are thinking that maybe he tested positive at birth and hasn't been retested, or he isn't showing any outwards symptoms).
From a nurse in the infectious disease unit in a pediatric hospital: *** Hepatitis B is something that children in the USA are routinely vaccinated for. If parents have not received the vaccinations, they can easily go to their physician and receive the series. With these vaccinations transmission is extremely minimal as vaccinated parties can have immunity to Hepatitis B. Titers (simple blood test) can also be drawn after taking the vaccines to make sure immunity has been acquired. Hepatitis B is also treatable with medications and people can also just be carriers of the virus. This health condition is labeled chronic, but with proper medical treatment and simple precautions it is very treatable and the risk of transmission is minimal at most. ***
Ruslan has already been transferred out to the institution due to his age, but he can still be adopted!! Please open you heart to little Ruslan….he needs you!

A Discussion on Wang Shu He Pulse Classic – Part One
by Leon Hammer
This paper can be summed up in a small story.
A little girl once asked her mother why she cut off one end of the roast before putting it into the oven. The mother said, `Because that"s the way my mother, your grandmother, used to do it. We"ll have to ask her'." Off they went to grandmother"s house, only to find that grandma did it because her mother did it. The three generations then traipsed off to great-grandmother"s house in order to seek the wisdom of the ages. When posed with the question great-grandma simply chuckled, `Why, dear, the pan was too small'."

Municipalities, in areas being considered as possible sites for nuclear waste repository, hold protest events
Municipalities in seven areas of the Czech Republic, being considered by the government as possible locations for a nuclear waste repository operational as of 2065, are holding protest events on Saturday saying "No" to government plans. Demonstrations and concerts are underway in places to express opposition to the siting of the waste site; in the past referenda were also held. Plans for a deep geological repository for the country's radioactive waste have existed since 1990. The facility, if a suitable site is found, would take 15 years to build.

He later worked as a lawyer; it was reported that Mr Gross had been suffering from ALS.

The renovation of a famous historic building in Prague's Stromovka Park - Šlechta's Restaurant, a summer chateau dating back to the late 17th century - will begin in a year's time and will cost roughly 150 million crowns, city councillor Jan Wolf has told the Czech News Agency. The site, after decades of decay, should reopen in a special ceremony in 2017. The original project was to have cost up to quarter of a billion crowns but costs were reduced by removing some planned items, including extra elevators, stairways and washrooms.

Finance minister Babiš demands apology from Foreign Policy magazine
Finance minister and leader of the ANO party, Andrej Babiš, demands an apology for libel from the US magazine Foreign Policy. Mr Babiš, who is currently on a visit to the United States, told the daily Hospodářské noviny that he is ready to sue the magazine in case it doesn't apologize. In its article 'Now the Czechs Have an Oligarch Problem, Too', Foreign Policy calls Babiš one of the politically most powerful billionaires in the world and says his ambitions are "far grander" than finance minister. It also says his rise "threatens to undermine democratic institutions in the Czech Republic". Andrej Babiš claims the article was commissioned from the Czech Republic.

Minister Zaorálek said on Thursday that he regarded the ride a provocation. The plan has already triggered protests in neighbouring Poland.
