Pirates eyeing continued success vs. Brewers
Burnett faces Estrada in opener of three-game set at Miller Park
Miller Park hasn't been kind to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Since opening in 2001, the Pirates have won just 32 of 102 games at the home of the Milwaukee Brewers. Additionally, the Bucs, who haven't enjoyed a winning season in 20 years, have gone 28-72 against the Brewers over the last seven seasons, including an 8-46 record during that span at Miller Park.
But after winning the last three in a four-game series at PNC Park last week, the Pirates have an opportunity to continue to reverse the losing trend against their National League Central rivals. With a 4-3 lead in the season series, the Bucs begin a three-game series on Friday in Milwaukee.
"I thought they were really good last year and the year before," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke of his team's success against Pittsburgh. "We just played well against them."
The Brewers took the opener of the last series, 5-1, but managed just five runs in the final three games against Pirates starters Jeff Locke, Wandy Rodriguez and Francisco Liriano.
But while they certainly didn't show it against Los Angeles on Wednesday, the heart of the Brewers' lineup is red hot. Five hitters are batting over .320: Jean Segura, Aramis Ramirez, Carlos Gomez, Norichika Aoki and Ryan Braun.
They will have to contend with Pirates ace A.J. Burnett, who leads the NL in strikeouts and has yet to surrender more than three earned runs in a start this season. But Burnett did lose his only other start against the Brewers on May 13, and is just 2-5 with a 4.87 ERA against Milwaukee over the last 10 seasons.
Burnett logged seven innings in his previous four starts.
"That's my approach, to go deep in games," Burnett said after allowing one run on five hits and four walks in a 4-2 loss to Houston last Sunday. "That's the biggest thing for me. I'm not a 'me' guy."
Pirates second baseman Neil Walker offered Burnett, along with some of the other clubhouse veterans, lofty praise, saying their mindset has been infectious in a relatively young clubhouse.
"They've been on good teams, they've been on bad teams," Walker said. "To have their knowledge in here, but to watch them go about their business, to watch them prepare -- All those things help a team with a lot of younger guys on it."
Marco Estrada will oppose Burnett, also his May 13 opponent, in Friday's opener. Estrada bested Burnett in their last duel for a 5-1 victory. Burnett pitched seven innings, allowing three earned runs on seven hits while Estrada, who also logged seven frames, was tagged with one run on three hits and one walk.
Estrada picked up one of the Brewers' only two victories on their 10-game road trip, but struggled against the Cardinals in his last start, allowing four runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings.
The right-hander has been strong against the Pirates over his career, winning four of seven starts against zero losses and a 2.17 ERA over 49 2/3 innings.
"I've pitched against them a lot, so I kind of know a lot of these guys," Estrada said after his win at Pittsburgh on May 13. "But here at PNC it's a pretty big ballpark and I'm more of a fly-ball pitcher, I think. Some balls were hit pretty well, whereas in Milwaukee they were probably out, but here they were camped underneath them and they were just pop flies. Maybe it's the confidence that I know that I can throw more strikes and not be afraid of a home run."
Brewers: Lohse bumped from Pirates series
Brewers starter Kyle Lohse will miss Saturday's start against the Pirates with irritation in his right elbow.
Manager Ron Roenicke said Lohse began feeling discomfort two or three starts ago and has been recovering slower than usual between starts.
"The way it was going with the muscle and the spots where it's at, you don't want to mess around too much with it," Lohse said. "You're playing with fire if you keep dealing with that issue. We all came to the conclusion that it's the best thing to do. Just get it to calm down for one start and get back out there."
Mike Fiers will replace Lohse in the rotation.
Pirates: Bullpen continues to impress
Justin Wilson and Mark Melancon have been excellent this season with 1.29 and 0.75 ERAs, respectively.
Closer Jason Grill lowered his ERA to 1.25 on Thursday and improved to 19-for-19 in save opportunities this season.
"The teams I've been on, the bullpen is its own group," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "It's its own country. For all the right reasons -- short term memory, and more often than not, they're never going to not take the ball. You've got to take the ball from them."
Worth noting
• In 28 plate appearances against Burnett, Ramirez is hitting .179 with no extra-base hits or walks.
• The Pirates are in the midst of a stretch of 16 games in 16 days.
• Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy went 1-for-4 on Wednesday, one day after a 3-for-4 performance, doubling his hits total over the last 10 games amid a recent slump.

Writing textbooks has got to be pretty tedious work. So you can hardly blame the writers when they slip in something that seems a little bit… off. My theory is that one of three things happens:
#1. The writer slips something in to see if anybody notices.
#2. The writer is so focused on the topic at hand that he/she forgets common sense.
#3. The writer blacks out and temporarily loses his/her mind.

SoundBase 555, B-STOCK Overview
- Improved Sound
- Green Design
- Super-Clear Vocals
- "Commercial Taming" Technology
- Multiple Inputs Including Front-Panel iPod®/Portable Plug
- Works With Your Remote!
Only 3.5" high, the ZVOX SoundBase 555 home theater system can be placed beneath your flat-panel TV* -- so you can have surround sound without adding a lot of clutter to your room. It requires no external speakers, subwoofer or speaker wires. The 555 reproduces TV shows, music and movie soundtracks with lifelike accuracy – including crystal-clear vocals and thunderous bass. And ZVOX PhaseCue® II virtual surround processing delivers remarkable three-dimensional sound. The entire system – speakers, amplifier, virtual surround technology and powered subwoofer – fits into the super-slim cabinet. With only one connecting cord and a one-page owner's manual, it is truly "plug and play." The wood cabinet is robustly constructed using fully-braced MDF -- not molded plastic. Beautiful hand-lacquered high-gloss ebony end panels create a stylish look.
Great Sound. The most important feature for any home theater system is high quality sound. The 555 uses a new amplifier design with extremely accurate frequency response and a warm, natural sound and surprisingly powerful bass.
PhaseCue® II Virtual Surround Sound. The 555 uses ZVOX's proprietary PhaseCue II virtual surround processing to give you rich, three-dimensional sound with movies or music. With music, PhaseCue II creates a very wide soundstage - it literally sounds like you are listening to speakers eight feet apart from each other. When listening to a good movie, the soundtrack will envelop you, putting you in the middle of the action. While no virtual surround system - including ours - will give you the surround effects of a good 5.1 system, the ZVOX 555 does a remarkable job. Sound & Vision magazine calls our PhaseCue processing "remarkably ingenious."
Green Design. The 555 uses a highly-efficient Class D digital amplifier. Even playing at quite loud volumes, it usually uses less than 10 watts of total power. And standby power usage tends to hover around 0.1 watts - making it one of the "greenest" audio systems ever made.
Setting A New Standard For Vocal Clarity. ZVOX systems are known for their remarkable vocal clarity. The 555 adds a stunning new feature: Dialog Emphasis (DE). When you push the "DE" button on the remote control you engage a circuit that mimics the functions of a hearing aid. The frequencies used by human voices are dynamically emphasized, while other frequencies are minimized. We don't know of any other speaker system that provides such an easy-to-use and effective method for improving the intelligibility of television dialog.
Uses Your Remote Control. The new SoundBase system can be programmed to respond to your remote control. The illuminated display walks you through a less-than-a-minute programming cycle. Then your TV remote...or cable box remote...or satellite receiver remote...or ANY remote...can control volume, mute, and power functions of the ZVOX system.The 555 uses a highly advanced processor to digitally tailor the sound for excellent frequency response. The result is a very smooth, very accurate sound. This SoundBase system doesn't sound like a "sound bar," it sounds like an audiophile quality speaker system.
Taming Commercials That Are Too Loud. If you've ever been blasted out of your chair by a too-loud commercial - or by a cable channel that's twice as loud as another channel - you'll love the new Output Leveling (OL) feature on the ZVOX 555. Just push the OL button and a sophisticated processor takes over, making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer, so there are fewer jarring moments when switching channels or when commercials come on. This system also helps by boosting the audio levels from a DVD or Blu Ray player that is not loud enough.
Disappearing Display. The 555 features a four-digit display located behind the speaker grille that shows the current setting for volume, bass, treble and PhaseCue II® (virtual surround) - and also shows when you have engaged the Mute, Output Leveling (OL) or Dialog Emphasis (DE) features. A few seconds after you stop using your remote (or front panel) controls, the display disappears completely.
Multiple Inputs, front-panel connection for iPod® and other devices, Dolby Digital decoder. The 555 has two analog audio inputs, one optical (Toslink) digital input, one coaxial digital input - plus a front panel 3.5mm analog stereo input for convenient connection of your iPod or other portable audio device. Any specific input can be selected using either the remote control or the slim-line module below the speaker grille. The two digital inputs work with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, which can improve virtual surround performance and allow for simplified connections to a wide variety of TVs, cable boxes and disc players.
Wood (MDF) Cabinet With Hand-Lacquered Side Panels. The 555 features a hand-built cabinet of heavy MDF with beautiful hand-lacquered high-gloss end panels. Its low-profile design blends perfectly with flat-panel TVs. Most people don't even notice the ZVOX 555...until they hear it.
ZVOX Audio has recently learned that some "stand-alone" powered subwoofer models are incompatible with the subwoofer output provided on the SoundBase 555 and 580 models. These subwoofers require a stronger signal than the level available from the subwoofer output on the ZVOX Audio system. The available signal level from the subwoofer output on the ZVOX Audio systems can not be increased. For the time being, unless using a product that has been pre-tested and is known to be compatible, a prospective customer for a ZVOX Audio 555 or 580 should assume that it is not compatible with an external powered subwoofer. Please note that most people are perfectly satisfied with the level of bass produced by the subwoofers already built into these two models -- and thus do not feel the need for an additional, external subwoofer.
Technical Details
- Dimensions: 28"W x 14 1/2"D x 3 3/8"H
- Weight: 17 pounds. With box and packing: 21 pounds.
- Amplifier: The 555 uses a high-efficiency 70 watt Class D digital amplifier.
- Rear inputs: (2) analog stereo inputs, (1) optical (Toslink) digital input, (1) coaxial digital input.
- Front input: (1) 3.5mm stereo front panel input.
- Frequency range: 45 Hz - 20 kHz.
- Virtual surround sound: The 555 uses ZVOX's proprietary PhaseCue II virtual surround sound processing. PhaseCue II, as its name implies, manipulates the phase of the separate channels to "fool the ear" into believing that sound is coming from a variety of sources throughout the room. The benefits of PhaseCue II vary greatly based on program material. Live music and well-recorded modern movie soundtracks will deliver rich, three-dimensional sound – pulling the sound out from the speakers and into the room, literally surrounding the listener. Note: All virtual surround systems – including the PhaseCue II system – are limited in their effects when compared to a good 5.1 system. And sitcoms, news broadcasts and soundtracks from older movies often have very little in the way of three-dimensional sound. That being said, PhaseCue II is capable of generating a wonderful and engaging virtual surround experience.
- The 555 is bi-amplified, using a specially designed amplifier that includes electronic contouring for superb frequency response.
- The 555's 5.25" subwoofer uses a high-mass long-throw design in a ported enclosure.
- The 555's five 2" main speaker drivers use a long-throw design to create remarkably wide range, accurate sound.
- Unlike most systems in its category, the 555 uses an MDF (medium density fiberboard) wood cabinet - instead of molded plastic. MDF is the preferred construction material for high-performance speaker systems.
- A 2-meter RCA-RCA analog stereo connecting cord is included.
- Works only with 110-120 volt power systems.
- The ZVOX 555 is backed by a one year limited parts and labor warranty.
What's In The Box?
- One stereo RCA to stereo RCA connecting cable
- If purchased directly from us, we will include a digital optical cable
- One remote control with power on/off, volume up/down, mute, PhaseCue II (three level settings), bass up/down and treble up/down, input selection, Output Leveling (OL), Dialog Emphasis (DE).
- Power cord
- One-sheet safety instructions and operations manual, fast setup sheet and remote control programming instruction sheet.

Home Theater & High Fidelity
Written by Jim Milton
Not everyone can be expected to have a big home theater system. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of solid choices out there. HTIB often give inferior sound and have a gaggle of wires to run. The Zbase 555 offers many pluses: The system is very easy to set up, looks stylish, has multiple in puts for both digital and analog, has a very effective dialog enhancement, provides spacious sound for both movies and music. It makes a great, stable base for your new TV. The supplied remote is functional, easy to use and the basic commands can be transferred to your current remote. You have the option to add a sub, though the 555 has plenty of punch on its own merit. It has built in digital amplification and sounds light years better than the built in TV speakers. It can be used as a music system in the home or office and provides a good "bang for the buck" value.
The minuses are few. It will not replace a decent home theater 5.1 sound system. Stereo separation and surround effects require you to sit more directly in front of the unit then a traditional speaker system. Still, its compact size and great sound makes this a good choice for those that don't want to mess with a complicated home theater setup or have limited space. It's simple to setup and use, inexpensive and sounds great. What's not to like?
Here's what the critics say about ZVOX sound systems
"An audiophile quality system." - Stereophile
"An awesome system...remarkably ingenious." - Sound + Vision
"Creates a sonic dance." - The New York Times
"Bigger audio dynamite." - The Wall Street Journal
"Best Buy." - Consumers Digest
"Best audio product of the year." - CNET
"Knockout sound." - MSNBC
"A single box powerhouse." - Men's Journal
"Home theater product of the year." - About.com
"Impressive sound without the clutter." - TV Guide
It's Compact
The Z-Base 555 is only 28" wide by 14.5" deep by 3 3/8" high (cabinet is 2.75" but stands on 5/8" high plinth base.) Everything is inside this compact cabinet – speakers, amplifier, virtual surround circuitry and powered subwoofer.
Simple Installation
The 555 requires only one connecting cord -- you can use either analog or digital connection options. Connect the one cord and you're done. You can place the 555 directly beneath most 26" - 50" flat panel TVs*, or on a shelf beneath the TV. (* TV base should not exceed 27" in width or 13" in depth. TV should not exceed 125 pounds in weight. Safety instructions in Z-Base 555 Operating Instructions and in TV's Operating Instructions should be closely examined and followed.)
Simple To Use
In about one minute you can follow a simple routine that will "teach" the ZVOX 555 to respond to the commands of your TV or cable/satellite remote control. So you can adjust control volume, mute, input and power with your remote, not ours. When you've finished the routine, turning on your TV will automatically turn on the ZVOX system. About three minutes after you turn off your TV, the ZVOX system will automatically go into standby mode.
Virtual Surround Sound
The 555 uses ZVOX's proprietary PhaseCue II virtual surround processing to give you rich, three-dimensional sound with movies or music. With music, PhaseCue II creates a very wide soundstage – it literally sounds like you are listening to speakers eight feet apart from each other. When listening to a good movie, the soundtrack will envelope you – putting you in the middle of the action. While no virtual surround system – including ours – will give you the surround effects of a good 5.1 system, the ZVOX 555 does a remarkable job. Sound & Vision magazine calls our PhaseCue system "remarkably ingenious."
No Skimping On Speaker Quality
Most audio systems in our price category use very cheap speakers in plastic cabinets. But at ZVOX we're "old school" about things like this. We use nothing but high quality speaker drivers, carefully designed by ZVOX engineers and manufactured to our specification. The 555 uses specially treated long-excursion main drivers. The cabinet is MDF (medium density fiberboard), the same material uses in most high-end loudspeakers.

Red Sox to see familiar face in Dodgers' Gonzalez
Lackey brings great record vs. NL West leaders into clash with Nolasco
The Red Sox begin a three-game series with the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Friday. But before the story gets there, it must first go back to where it all began: Adrian Gonzalez.
Then-general manager of the Red Sox Theo Epstein and then-general manager of the Padres Jed Hoyer -- the two now working together in the Cubs' front office -- each called the December 2010 swap a win-win for two franchises that appeared to be headed in opposite directions.
The Red Sox gave the Padres a young first baseman, Anthony Rizzo, along with others, for Gonzalez, a proven slugger.
Then came the Red Sox's crash in 2011, the forgettable first half of '12 and eventually a new trade: Gonzalez (hitting .297 with 16 homers in '13) would go to the Dodgers along with $12 million, Josh Beckett (out for the season due to neck and shoulder surgery), Carl Crawford (.289 average in '13) and Nick Punto (.257 in '13). To the Red Sox went James Loney (left for the Rays after '12), Rubby De La Rosa (currently in Triple-A) and Allen Webster (in Triple-A), along with Ivan DeJesus Jr. and Jerry Sands, who were each sent to Pittsburgh in the swap that brought back Joel Hanrahan and Brock Holt.
And with that, the Red Sox unloaded $250 million of salary obligations, reshaped their roster and found immediate success in 2013.
As of June 22, the Dodgers couldn't have been as thrilled with their end of the deal. Their big investment had produced just a 30-42 record.
Then the Dodgers caught fire, starting with a six-game winning streak, and they're 45-10 since as they head toward Sunday's one-year anniversary of the franchise-shaping deal.
"I think it'll be fun to play them," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of the Red Sox. "They're a good club and they're playing good. The better teams continue to force you to be better. I look forward to it a little bit."
Who won the trade? Flip a coin.
"This is one of those deals that has helped both sides, clearly," said Sox manager John Farrell.
"I talked with Carl [Crawford], nobody seems to be bitter about anything," said Mattingly. "I'm sure the media will stir it up, but it's all in the past. They're doing well, we're doing well. It worked out for both teams and that's the way it's supposed to be and I'm sure it will continue to."
"It went fast. It seems like it happened yesterday," said Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz. "But I tell you what, the way they're playing, it tells you things have gotten better over there [in Los Angeles]. Things have gotten better over here. They're making the GMs look like geniuses."
The Red Sox are 5-8 over their last 13 games, but they're coming off a series in which they took two out of three from the Giants and have been receiving more promising news regarding Clay Buchholz, who could return to the team in early September.
Without Buchholz, the Red Sox have had a new No. 1: John Lackey.
By some measures, the 34-year-old is having the best season of his career. And it's immediately following his worst.
After missing 2012 recovering from Tommy John surgery, Lackey has struck out 124 batters while walking just 24 (his 3.88 K/BB ratio is the best of his career) while posting a 3.22 ERA and 1.22 WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched). And in 10 career starts against the Dodgers, he's gone 5-2 with a 1.89 ERA, the best against any team he's faced more than once.
The Dodgers have an unexpected ace of their own headed to the mound Friday. Ricky Nolasco has been as good as one could've hoped since coming over from the Marlins, having gone 4-1 with a 2.98 ERA in eight starts.
Red Sox: Where there's a Will
When he was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket on Aug. 10 after nearly two months of finding his way in the Minors, Will Middlebrooks was looking at a batting average of .192.
He's reached base in all 11 games he's played since being recalled, raised his average 36 points and homered in two of his last four games.
Even with 20-year-old prospect Xander Bogaerts on the roster, Middlebrooks is making a strong case to stay in the lineup. He even played some second base late in Wednesday's game. "Will has come back to us and really swung the bat well in the time back here," Farrell said.
Dodgers: Still without Kemp
Perhaps the most impressive part of the Dodgers' run is that they've done most of it without Matt Kemp, who hasn't played since July 21 with a sprained left ankle.
With the Minor League season wrapping up in early September, it appears unlikely Kemp would go on a rehab assignment before returning to the Dodgers' lineup.
"September would be the best-case scenario for Matt," Mattingly said.
Outfielders Crawford, Yasiel Puig and Andre Ethier have performed well in Kemp's absence.
Worth noting
• Dodgers third baseman Juan Uribe went 10-for-20 with a home run, three doubles, three walks and four RBIs on the team's seven-game road trip.
• Bogaerts is still looking for his first Major League hit. He's 0-for-4 with a strikeout in two games thus far.

April 24th, 2012
This Friday at 6 pm ET watch New.Music.Live. hosts Jesse and Liz join Down With Webster on vacation in Punta Cana. The trip quickly turns from a relaxing vacation into a last man standing competition when the band learns only one person will be upgraded to the Hard Rock Hotel's Luxury Rock Star Suite.
The only way to the top (floor, that is) is to win! Get ready for intense competitions and humiliating consequences that only D-Dubs and MuchMusic can deliver! Watch New.Music.Live. Presents: Down With Wbester in Punta Cana this Friday at 6 pm ET. Check out sneak peek pics from Friday's show under the jump!
We asked the guys in Down With Webster to give us their thoughts on the Punta Cana Challenge and here's what they had to say:
When MuchMusic asked us to come back and host their 2012 Spring Break special, we all had the same response: "YES! Yes, yes, yes, yes, f*cking Yessss". We had just finished WINtour, six weeks of non-stop shows through the frozen tundra in the middle of winter, so the decision to escape to a tropical island for a week of extreme partying and morally casual behavior was an easy one. However, there was one major question that remained… "how were we going to top our last spring break trip with MuchMusic in 2010?".
Since we just finished coming off of tour, we knew our bodies were in peak physical condition, that is, for partying and depriving our bodies of much needed sleep in the name of fun. In our experience creating entertaining videos comes down to a very scientific formula. The more humiliating, painful or dangerous something is for us, the more entertaining it will be for everyone else. Sacrifices have to be made and with that in mind, the band entered a pact together to put dignity aside for everyone else's benefit, and go as hard as we could for six days. And let us tell you….we did just that.
We laughed, we cried (more specifically, we mostly cried from laughing so hard and just a little bit from pain). We made some new friends and reconnected with some old ones, and pushed our bodies to unreasonable limits all for your entertainment.
We're really excited to share the special with everyone so tune into New.Music.Live. on Friday, April 27th at 6 pm ET!

Summary of Program
June 11, 2001 - July 27, 2001
Conducted by:
A unit of the
Advanced Distributed Simulation Research Consortium
of the U.S. Army Research Office
and with additional funding from the
National Science Foundation, Computer and Information Science &
Engineering Directorate
Through the Houston PREP Program, the Center for Computational Science and Advanced Distributed Simulation (CCSDS) is doing its part to respond to the dwindling number of students entering careers in Engineering, Mathematics, and Science, which is occurring on a national scale. Notably, the expanding economically and socially disadvantaged population groups also are not choosing these career options. Houston PREP is designed to encourage students from these groups into these careers. Moving forward into the next century without such efforts, our nation is risking its leadership role in the high technology society that we have developed.
Programs such as Houston PREP are making a difference. The people and organizations that support it are the backbone of this development. We extend our sincerest thanks to all of you.

Economic opportunity
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

It is essential as equal citizens that people with intellectual disabilities receive the proper services they need and deserve in order to lead healthy and happy lives.
Special Olympics has provided 1.2 million health screenings in more than 100 countries. 90,000 free pairs of eyeglasses have been given to athletes.
Statement from Mary Davis, Regional President of Special Olympics Europe Eurasia on World Health Day:
Zuebeyde Horus, a Special Olympics athlete from Turkey, exemplifies the power of Special Olympics to transform lives. Like many people with an intellectual disability, Zuebeyde was living with a serious heart condition, but nobody was aware of it. A volunteer doctor discovered it by simply listening to her heart with a stethoscope at a Special Olympics Healthy Athlete event.
At a follow-up appointment, Zuebeyde was diagnosed with Atrioventricular Septal defect.The condition means there is a hole between the various chambers and valves of the heart which causes abnormal blood flow and forces the heart to work much harder than it normally should. Zuebeyde underwent life saving surgery within days of being diagnosed. This type of defect is associated with intellectual disabilities and it is estimated that 45% of children with Down Syndrome have some type of congenital heart disease.
Without the volunteer health care professionals who carry out these screenings, the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes programme would not exist and athletes like Zuebeyde would not have been helped so today on World Health Day, Special Olympics athletes, families, coaches and staff, sincerely thank these extraordinary volunteers.
World Health Day is celebrated on April 7th every year to mark the anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organisation in 1948. The Day is a global campaign inviting everyone from world leaders to the general public to focus on health issues and challenges that have global impact and which protect people's health and well-being. Today I encourage people to focus on the health needs of people with intellectual disabilities.
"You can't compete if your feet hurt, if your teeth hurt or if your ears ache."
This quote from a Special Olympics athlete correctly sums up the motivation behind the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes Programme.
People with intellectual disabilities have a 40 per cent higher risk than the rest of the population of having several preventable health conditions, which is why the Healthy Athletes Programme is so necessary.
For more than 14 years, Special Olympics has been serving athletes by offering free health screenings and health information at local, regional and World Games and in many cases lives, limbs, eyesight and hearing have been saved.
Special Olympics has become the world's largest public health organization dedicated to serving people with intellectual disabilities and maintains the largest database of health information in existence. The Healthy Athletes Programme is responsible for: 120,000 healthcare professionals trained; more than 1.2 million screenings provided to athletes in more than 100 countries; more than 90,000 free pairs of eyeglasses given to athletes. The most moving aspect of the Healthy Athletes programme is that so many athletes screened did not know they had any health problems. Health screenings are offered in seven areas: Fit Feet (podiatry), FUNfitness (physical therapy), Health Promotion (better health and well-being), Healthy Hearing (audiology), MedFest (sports physical exam) Opening Eyes (vision) and Special Smiles (dentistry).
World Health Day is an opportunity for everyone to emphasis the urgency for a much greater understanding and an informed debate on the medical needs and challenges faced by people with intellectual disabilities and their families.
The reality is that people with intellectual disabilities have more specialised health care needs and greater difficulty accessing health care services and health care professionals compared to the wider general public. A major study in the US revealed that 80 per cent of medical school students receive no clinical training in treating people with intellectual disabilities.
Research conducted by Special Olympics has found that doctors have difficulty in diagnosing and prescribing treatment for people with intellectual disabilities for many reasons but poor bodily awareness and depressed pain responses are revealed as prominent factors.
The impact on many volunteer doctors and nurses after getting involved in the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes Programme is significant. They drastically alter the way they work, teach and conduct research in order to be more inclusive of patients with intellectual disabilities. The power of Special Olympics is change -- the power to change lives for the better -- and health is a cornerstone of our programming and research.
Help us reach one more athlete.

Today, the Templeton Foundation gave its most prestigious award to my hero, Jean Vanier. For Linda and our children and me, he has also been our retreat leader, our teacher of humility, our guide.

Hey guys, I wondered if there is anyone out there who can draw reasonably well who'd be up for a little project I have? I basically just want a sword hilt drawn (for a sabre-style sword) and the pommel has a specific design to it. Please PM me if you fancy working on this for me. I'm afraid I don't have much in the way of money to offer you, but I can draw decent maps or give you a big mention on my blog Cheers, Cirias
Not to knock anyone here (you all are awesome), but this is just not a very active artist forum. If you don't find anyone here, consider joining DeviantArt or finding an artist from that site. I found a great artist that did a short story cover for me for only 20lbs. (I can send the image to you if you want to see how it turned out.) Good luck!

NYU has embarked on the project of becoming a Global Network University, a university that challenges the idea that a university can only deliver education at a single home campus. Instead, we have created a structure that allows students and faculty to gather in a set of key locales around the globe to forge new ideas, advance the questions we ask about the world, and create solutions for the problems that beset us all.
This Global Network University model has emerged as a natural and logical extension of NYU's research and teaching agendas; flowing from our eco-systemic relation to New York City, the diversity of thought represented by all of our schools, colleges, and programs—and our internationally connected and collaborative faculty. Students and faculty interact with their urban environment in countless meaningful and essential ways, using these locations as a major asset.
Students and faculty alike broaden the scope of vision and knowledge through international learning. Opportunities include study abroad programs, direct-exchange programs with world-renowned institutions, and curriculum-driven international programming offered through the specific schools or departments. All locations within the network are also accessible for individual research that springs from individual academic ideas and goals.
Part of NYU's teaching mission consists in preparing students for lives in a diverse world, and faculty at NYU believe that such preparation is most effective when the outside world is not held at bay. This same principle holds true as we create a Global Network University that is both "in and of the city" and "in and of the world." Around the world, students work closely with faculty and with their peers on shared commitments. They apply what they learn and develop the skills and qualities—both needed and expected in this increasingly integrated, global climate—to make a real difference in the world.
NYU has academic programs all over the world. Whether you want to study in Europe, Africa, South America, or Asia, you'll be able to find academic programs that meet your needs and your travel desires.

Barbour: Hurricane Sandy 'saved' Obama's presidency
Obama worked closely with governors in the path of the impending destruction before and after the storm. This work, Barbour said, gave the president a boost in the final days of the campaign.
"Hurricane Sandy saved Barack Obama's presidency," he said on NBC's Today. "It broke the momentum that [Mitt] Romney had coming in at the end of October."
One of those governors, New Jersey Republican Chris Christie, praised Obama for his reaction to the storm. Several conservatives lambasted Christie, who was a major Romney backer, but Christie dismissed that criticism on Wednesday.
"I wouldn't call what I did an embrace of Barack Obama," Christie said at a press conference. "I know that's become the wording of it, but the fact of the matter is, I'm a guy who tells the truth all the time. And if the President of the United States did something good, I was going to say he did something good and give him credit for it."
He continued, "But it doesn't take away for a minute from the fact that I was the first governor to endorse Mitt Romney, that I traveled literally tens of thousands of miles for him, raised tens of millions of dollars for him and worked harder, I think, than any other surrogate in America other than Paul Ryan, and he was running mate."
Barbour said he does not blame Christie for the halt in Romney's momentum.
"That's not Chris Christie's fault," Barbour said. "Now, I do think the news media made a much bigger deal out of it that, made it sound like Christie was almost endorsing Obama. All Christie said was the president's trying to be a good partner."
This partnership may come to the forefront again in the coming days as the region braces for yet another destructive winter storm.

BiC (for short) is the perhaps the most handsome and caring guy to ever have lived. He loves all types of Ninja movies, is extremely educated, and has the most adorable kitten ever! He's talented at playing his electric guitar and making girls smile. One of his favorite foods would include Gyoza. He lives in Washington, but his heart belongs to Anchorage. Besides being interesting, he's sweet, adorable, tall, a MAC USER (which is a plus in my book), attentive, and fun to talk to. I look forward to meeting him in a month so I can show him my vast (haha) knowledge of constellations and give him a hug.
It's a damn shame that Born In Crimson doesn't live on the East Coast.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels smiles before Game 1 of baseball's National League division series against the St. Louis Cardinals, Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011 in Philadelphia. / Matt Rourke, AP
On Christmas Eve, Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels and his wife Heidi adopted a baby girl from Ethiopia. Young Reeve Hamels joins older brothers Caleb and Braxton in the growing Hamels family.
In my last job, I compiled perhaps the Internet's most impressive collection of embarrassing photos of Cole Hamels. So upon the news of the Hamels' adoption, I received several emails and Tweets tipping me off to the following photo. But I'm just not going to make fun of the guy for adopting a child who was abandoned at birth and left alone in a field in Ethiopia six months ago.
Also, this photo, via Jeff Skversky of 6abc in Philadelphia, isn't really embarrassing at all. It's just a picture of Cole Hamels in some fancy-pants restaurant with a devastatingly cute Ethiopian baby:
Congratulations to the Hamels! Don't forget to celebrate!

The AMA and the organizing team for the sixth AMA International Women & Motorcycling Conference would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the participants, speakers, vendors, sponsors and volunteers of the four-day event that concluded Sunday, July 29, in Carson City, Nev.
"This was another fantastic gathering of women motorcyclists," said AMA Board of Directors Vice Chairwoman Maggie McNally. "I am awe-stuck by these women and their inspiring stories. They represent the most exciting development in motorcycling over the last decade."
Conference organizer Tigra Tsujikawa agreed: "Women came from all over the country to attend this conference, and many have been coming to this event for years. Simply put, we could not have done this without the support of Rob Dingman and the AMA, all of our sponsors and vendors, the companies who provided demo rides and those who rode, in some cases thousands of miles, to be here.
"Carson City and nearby Virginia City really rolled out the welcome mat for us," she added.
