Fantasy Football Week 9: Start and Sit
Who to start: Joe Flacco (Ravens) has been awful recently, averaging 189 yards over the last three games, while throwing only two touchdowns against three interceptions. Expect him to right the ship coming off a bye. He's only thrown one interception in four previous trips to Cleveland. Likewise, the last decent game Torrey Smith (Ravens) had was against the Browns in Week 4 -- 6 receptions, 97 yards and a touchdown. He should bounce back as well. Trent Richardson (Browns) is Cleveland's offense. Even with sore ribs, he beat the Chargers by himself.
Who to sit: I don't believe Brandon Weeden (Browns) is useful this week. The Ravens secondary has been weak this season as far as giving up yards, but they have more interceptions (seven) than passing touchdowns allowed (six).
Sleeper: Anquan Boldin (Ravens) had his best game of the season against Cleveland in Week 4, where he caught nine passes for 131 yards.
Obvious starters: QB Aaron Rodgers (Packers).
Who to start: Larry Fitzgerald (Cardinals) isn't an obvious start solely because of his quarterback. You still should start him unless you're really deep at receiver. Simple rule: You start whomever lines up at receiver for Green Bay. This week, James Jones (Packers) and Randall Cobb (Packers) earn that distinction. Jordy Nelson will test his hamstring on Friday.
Who to sit: LeRod Stephens-Howling (Cardinals) and William Powell (Cardinals) aren't facing San Francisco this week, but Green Bay's run defense is no slouch either.
Sleeper: Alex Green (Packers) has three straight games with 20-plus carries. Only Arian Foster and Marshawn Lynch have topped that this season. Each have accomplished the feat in five consecutive games. Green hasn't been all that productive, but he's being worked into the passing game as well. If he continues to receive this opportunity, he's going to go off at some point.
Obvious starters: RB Matt Forte (Bears), WR Brandon Marshall (Bears).
Who to start: The Bears D/ST lead the NFL with 23 takeaways and have held three of their past four opponents to seven points or less. Jay Cutler (Bears) has 567 passing yards and four touchdowns in his past two road games. Kendall Wright (Titans) is on pace for 80 receptions. He's certainly useful in PPR leagues already. Not bad for a rookie.
Who to sit: Chris Johnson (Titans) have been much better of late. He runs into a wall this week. Chicago has not allowed a rushing touchdown since Week 1 and has held opposing running backs to 62 yards per game on 3.5 yards per carry.
Sleeper: Michael Bush (Bears) only has 13 carries over the past three weeks, but this the type of game where he could see some serious garbage time action.
Obvious starters: WR Reggie Wayne (Colts).
Who to start: Reggie Bush (Dolphins) could feast on Indianapolis' 27th-ranked rushing defense. Even if he's losing red zone carries to Daniel Thomas, this is the type of match-up he should flourish in. Andrew Luck (Colts) averages 271 passing yards per game and has six touchdowns against two interceptions in four games at home.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to a deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers to send three-time All-Star Kevin Love to the Cavs for Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and a protected 2015 first-roun
Well, looks like this one might be passing us by as well.
The departure of Kevin Love from Minnesota to Cleveland is imminent.
Thaddeus Young's taking his talents from Philadelphia to Minnesota appears equally likely.
The worst kept secret in the NBA right now is that Kevin Love will be traded by the Minnesota Timberwolves before the season begins.
It is fairly quiet in the NBA world -- unless you have a vested interest in USA basketball or Kevin Love.

National Academy of Songwriters
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (March 2015)
The National 'Academy' of Songwriters, originally "Songwriters Resources and Services" was a music industry association which provided a support network for songwriters, and gave out awards in various categories. It was founded by Helen King, who was working as a secretarial/answering service for the American Guild of Authors and Composers. She saw a need to provide an inexpensive copyright service, as well as educational services for aspiring writers in Los Angeles and around the US.
After King died, her staff kept the organization going for almost two decades. Key staff members included Gelsa Paladino, Doug Thiele, Billy James, Bruce Kaplan, Pat and Pete Luboff, Kevin Odegard, Mark Spier, Gordon Pagoda, Paul Zollo, Steve Schalclin, Dan Kirkpatrick, Dan Kimple and Kevin McCarley. Hundreds of songwriters came through to learn the craft and business of songwriting and get advice on how to market their songs. The organization also lobbied for better copyright protection, and published "SongTalk" magazine, a newsprint publication with original interviews of hit songwriters.
In December 1985, the National 'Academy' of Songwriters started their annual "Salute To The American Songwriter" concerts which over the years featured performances by artists such as Carole King, Jackson Browne, Stevie Wonder, Los Lobos, Willie Dixon, Atlantic Starr, Stephen Stills, Michael Bolton, Melissa Manchester, Stephen Bishop, Brian Wilson, Kim Carnes, Michael McDonald, and many others. Also performing over the years at the "Salute To The American Songwriter" concerts were songwriting legends such as Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Barry Mann, Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, Richard Sherman, John Bettis, Diane Warren, and many others. In 1988, the National 'Academy' of Songwriters teamed with VH-1 for the "Fourth Annual Salute To The American Songwriter" which was televised on VH-1 and Showtime in 1989.
In 1996, the Los Angeles Songwriters Showcase (LASS) joined the NAS, and later, the NAS merged into the Songwriters Guild of America.[1]
Another organization that was inspired by the goals of the LASS and came into existence in late 1998 in the vacuum that was created when LASS disappeared was the Los Angeles Songwriters Network (SongNet).

How real-time analytics can change the email marketing game
Email marketing has been around for what feels like forever, at least relative to the other digital advertising techniques.
Social, mobile and other types of ads are like shiny new toys for children. When they initially arrive, they feel like the greatest thing ever. They have kids' entire attention, and everything else seems old or boring in comparison.
There's a chance that new advertising methods could turn out to be Buzz Lightyear, but email marketing is definitely Woody.
Power in numbers
So what about email advertising has enabled these campaigns to transcend their time as the new kid on the block? Largely the same reasons that newspaper, TV, phone calls and face-to-face marketing hasn't died away.

"With all the medical evidence we have about artificial trans fat and heart disease, and with supplies of natural trans-fat-free oils and shortenings in such abundance, there is truly no excuse for Burger King, Friendly's, and other chains to be using this dangerous substance," said CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson. "One advantage it has is that it can be used over and over again in the deep-fryer without being changed as often. But considering that it clogs arteries and shortens lives, it's just not worth it."
Massachusetts voters seem to agree, according to a recent 7News/Suffolk University poll (http://www.cspinet.org/new/pdf/transsurvey.pdf). That poll found that two-thirds of Massachusetts voters are concerned about artificial trans fat and favor the bill to phase it out of the state's restaurants.
"The tide is definitely turning toward the use of healthier cooking oils, with many restaurants voluntarily making the switch to healthier alternatives," Koutoujian said. "Massachusetts residents understand that by forgoing the use of artificial trans fats, we can live healthier lives without negatively affecting the taste of any foods."
Artificial trans fat is more dangerous than any other fat in food
because, like saturated fat, it raises one's LDL, the "bad" kind of
cholesterol that promotes heart disease, but unlike saturated fat, it also
lowers one's HDL, the "good" kind of cholesterol that guards against heart
disease. For that reason, leading trans-fat researcher Walter Willett,
professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard School of Public
Health, calls trans fat a "metabolic poison." Federal rules now require
trans fat to be listed on food labels, a move that has spurred most large
makers of packag

Review by:
Alysa H
on Feb. 20, 2014 :
Although this short prequel does not contain any spoilers for the first book in the trilogy and could be read beforehand, I believe that the true purpose of any good prequel is to grant further insight into characters and situations with which the reader is already familiar from reading the primary work. Otherwise, why not simply make it Part One?
This story serves that purpose, giving us more backstory about Jennet and how she first came to Feyland. A problem that I had with Book One was actually that we were not given enough to connect with about Jennet, so I'm pleased that this prequel took care of that, and makes Jennet a little more sympathetic. However, the writing is a bit padded when Jennet is "in-game", in that it is repetitive about her suspicions that Feyland is something more, and that at times it completely repeats sections of Book One's opening. I still kind of wish that this prequel and Book One could just be retooled into one complete novel.

|Property type
Less than 1 block to the beach --- wide white-sand beach.
What is unique about Tybee Island?
. Barrier island due east of historic Savannah
. Just 3-mile diameter, and half that is salt marsh
. Birthplace and home of a C-list actor; chosen home of an
A-list actor; nesting home of loggerhead sea turtles.
. Great dolphin viewing --- virtually guaranteed on the
north end of the island. Dolphin boat tours are always
available, but sitting on the north beach is just as
effective. We once watched a band of dolphins frolicking
with a delighted kayaker.
. Impressive pier that extends way, way out into the water.
Each end has a nice covered pavilion.
What is close to Coral House?: . The beach
. Across the street: 5 restaurants
1) McElwhee's Seafood,
2) Mexican
3) Sundae Cafe - a hole-in-the-wall, white-tablecloth, Gourmet
restaurant. Sundaes? Nah. (go figure) But The Sugar Shack has great ones.
4) The Sugar Shack - a decidedly downscale, inexpensive
place that serves a good breakfast, sandwiches, and hand-
dipped ice cream. Indoor or covered outdoor dining.
5) Pizza
The 2 Lighthouses: Two lighthouses less than 3 miles apart but so radically different in character. As you approach Tybee Island, you see the impressive Tybee Light in the distance. Tall, dark, and handsome with a white cumberbund. He was honored a couple of years ago when he got his own US postage stamp. ( In lighthouse circles that is akin to an Oscar.) But then as you cross the Lazaretto bridge onto Tybee Island, you look down to the left and blink. Is that a lighthouse in the water? Indeed it is. That's plucky little Cockspur Lighthouse. Weathered, plain white masonry. Not flashy at all, except ... At every high tide Cockspur stands in the ocean well off-shore. Only at low tide does the stony spur appear that supports the little lighthouse. A firm foundation after all.
Lost in the 40's/50's: So far the quaint shopping district near the pier has pretty much escaped the wrecking ball. Witness Arby's --- Tybee Island's only fast food restaurant. This is pretty much what Arby's looked like when they began in the early 60's. As for shopping, no Sak's here. We're talking beach shopping: T-shirts, souvenirs, Sno-Cones, umbrella drinks, seafood. But remember, for culture and serious shopping, there is colorful, historic Savannah, just 20-25 minutes away. Recommended reading: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, an amusing look at Savannah's high- and low-life (about 2 years on the NY Times nonfiction best seller list).
Coral House is located about mid-beach between south beach (home of the pier and shopping) and north beach ( home of the majestic Tybee Light and the former Ft. Screven, now a museum).
We had a group of 12 Girl Scouts staying for a weekend of activities in Savannah and Tybee. This cottage was perfect! So cute, clean, and well furnished. We saved money by cooking meals: easily done with the 3 kitchens and plenty of supplies. This was the BEST location! Just 2 houses down from public beach access for cool night ghost crab hunts! Easy access to everything fun! On Tybee you should visit the Lighthouse and Marine Science Center; in Savannah the JGL House, Savannah Theatre and Pirate House for lunch... all awesome attractions and welcoming to Girl Scouts.The cottage owner was super friendly and easy to work with. This is a nice alternative to a hotel room, and extremely economical too! The girls cant quit talking about how much fun we had!
We really and truly enjoyed Coral House! The balconies, and the court yard! There was more than enough space for everyone! We cooked dinner every night and the kitchens were well stocked! We took advantage of the bike rental discount and the kids had a ball, touring the island. This is the third time we have rented from Ted and we intend to again! Ted is really sweet and will attend to any need you might have. No complaints:)
We had a wonderful stay in the penthouse. It was so peaceful. The views out the windows and sliding glass doors were amazing with the trees all around. I felt like I was up in a fancy treehouse. The penthouse was clean, smelled wonderful, and had everything we needed. The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The porch was paradise. I loved sitting at night out there listening to the ocean waves, which by the way was just a short walk at the end of the street. Will definitely be back.
My family rented all of Coral House as a 50th Anniversary gift to my parents. The house is the cutest thing ever. There was certainly room for all of us in the 3 units and cooking was a snap with 3 kitchens. It was great to have separation when needed. Coral House is just a short walk to the beach, which was fabulous!! Ted was great to work with and the house was totally ready when we arrived. We got in later than we expected and there were dimmed lights on in all 3 units with music playing from the tv's. I have never felt that welcomed in a hotel and it was certainly appreciated. My favorite place was the private back garden, with 15 people coming in and out, this was my retreat! Thank you Ted for opening your home to us for this special event!!
Hot Coral house is absolutely amazing. We had a big party of 12 go. 6 adults and 6 children. The house was welcoming, warm and my favorite part of the whole place was the back garden. It was an overwhelming experience for my family and Tybee Island people and nearby attractions were amazing. Ted you have a wonderful place we will definately visit again and rent from you again. Your housekeeper is AMAZING as well. The beach is so close and everything was fantastic.
Our family of four stayed at the HOT Coral condo in March 2011 over my son's spring break...it was Wonderful!! The condo was great. It was clean and had everything we needed. We have a 6 and 3 year old and it was great for the kids. The proximity to the beach couldn't have been better. A great place to stay for the money!! I loved that you could walk just a few minutes to get anywhere; convenience store, restaurants, grocery store, playground. We hope to come back again soon!

Comelec holds mock elections in 10 places on Saturday
MANILA, Philippines—The Commission on Elections is to conduct "full blown" mock elections in 10 areas across the country on Saturday to give the nation a preview of the May 13 automated midterm balloting.
Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. said the mock elections will simulate the entire election process from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. with roughly 2,500 real registered voters participating.
"We are ready. All of our people are already scattered all over the country. We are just doing some praying so that there will be no problem," Brillantes told the media. "We don't expect the mock polls to be perfect. We are also anticipating some problems but we hope not a major one."
In Metro Manila, 1,639 real voters from 11 actual precincts will troop to the polling stations in Barangays UP Campus and Bagong Lipunan ng Crame in the 4th district of Quezon City to cast their ballots from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
At the end of the mock balloting, election returns shall be printed and actual transmission of results to the city or municipal board of canvassers, the central server and the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas shall also be conducted.
Mock elections will also be conducted in two schools in the 5th district of Manila but with fewer participants and a shorter voting period.
The small-scale event will have only 100 real voters trooping to the voting centers (Epifanio delos Santos Elementary School and Herminigildo Atienza Elementary School) from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., according to Comelec's Education and Information Department.
Smaller versions of the mock elections will also be conducted in Iriga City (Iriga Central School and Sta. Teresita Elementary School) and Bato (Bato North Elementary School and Antipolo Elementary School) in Camarines Sur; Dumaguete City (City Central Elementary School and Camanjac Elementary School) and Sta. Catalina (Santa Catalina North Central School and Kabulacan Elementary School) in Negros Oriental; Cagayan de Oro City (City Central School and Balulang Elementary School) and Initao (Initao Central School and Oguis Elementary School) in Misamis Oriental; Bongao (Lamion Walking Blackboard Elementary School and Simandagit Elementary School) in Tawi-Tawi and Buluan (Pilot Elementary School and Talitay Elementary School) in Maguindanao.
As in Manila City, 100 voters from each of the areas will be casting their ballots from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. only.
Brillantes said the Comelec will use fictitious foreign-sounding names to fill the posts for senators and the party-list groups in the mock ballots to avoid accidentally including actual candidates in the May 13 elections.

Hospitals See Dangerous Mix of Alcohol, Fireworks
The man and his buddies had been tossing aerosol cans into a fire, watching them explode.
Sometimes, the exploding cans flew straight out of the fire, which is what brought the man to the Sterling, Ill., hospital while Dr. Scott Yilk covered an emergency room shift.
"One hit him perfectly – took his eye out," said Yilk, among the American Board of Emergency Medicine-certified physicians at Midwest Medical Center in Galena, Ill. "Was he loaded? Absolutely."
Yilk, whose main hospitals include Chicago's University of Illinois Medical Center and Saint Joseph Hospital, said a little liquor can become a big factor in prompting Fourth of July weekend emergency room visits.
"Like Memorial Day, it's a weekend when a lot of amateurs drink real heavily," Yilk said. "Liquor can increase the odds of having an accident. In the trauma (cases) over the Fourth, alcohol is almost always involved."
Increased alcohol consumption can trigger a wide variety of summer accidents, according to Sherry Frye, injury prevention coordinator at The Finley Hospital.
"People are camping, swimming and boating, and there is alcohol there," Frye said. "People don't pay attention to what is happening around them."
Adding alcohol to explosives, Yilk said, also fuels a big increase in risk of injuries.
"You get teenagers and adults drinking their beers and they start shooting bottle rockets at each other," he said. "People just need to step back and think:'Can I get hurt by this?'"
American hospital emergency rooms treated an estimated 9,200 people for fireworks-related injuries in 2006. About half of the injuries were to the extremities.
Studies indicate 60 percent of fireworks injuries occur in the month surrounding July 4 and that 90 percent of fireworks injuries treated in the nation's emergency departments resulted from legally purchased, consumer fireworks.
Sparklers, which can burn at temperatures higher than 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, were responsible for more than 20 percent of fireworks injuries.
"Sparklers are very notorious for burning little kids," Yilk said. "Don't let young children play with really hot fireworks. A lot of parents give their 3- or 4-year-old a sparkler. That's a recipe for a bad burn."
A common injury results from children tossing a used – but still extremely hot – sparkler on the ground.
"You would be amazed how many people we see with a linear burn across the bottom of their foot," Frye said.

Bacon butter.
No, just, stop for a moment and imagine one of of these Onion and Cheddar Scones, fresh from the oven and spread with Bacon Butter. I'm pretty sure flavor like this is illegal in several states and should be kept away from small children lest you ruin them for the taste of other foods.
3 cups all purpose flour (plus a little more for your work surface)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup COLD unsalted butter
1/2 - 3/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced (most of the way down the stalk but stopping about 2" from the bottom)
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
4 slices bacon, cooked and finely crumbled
3 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
kosher salt to taste

Food for thought.
Spirituality Cafe is a relatively new feature in U.S. CATHOLIC, debuting in September 2000. The editors created it in response to readers' requests for more spirituality and for short tidbits of information. Former U.S. CATHOLIC associate editor Mary Lynn Hendrickson (now editor of Claretian Publications' family newsletter At Home with our Faith) created Spirituality Cafe and edited it for three years before handing it over to me.
Hunting down the helpings of spiritual wisdom, practices, and inspiration for Spirituality Cafe has become one of the favorite parts of my job these days--in part because it forces me to do quite a bit of spiritual reading. You know all those books by Thomas Merton or Henri Nouwen or Mother Teresa or Kathleen Norris that you hope to get to "someday"? Or the interesting collections of prayers or practices or saints that gather dust on your nightstand? Well, I basically get paid to comb through them for spiritual sustenance to feed our hungry Cafe visitors.
Lately I have been especially buried in books, as we took the Spirituality Cafe concept a step further for our cover story, "40 days to a new you: Lenten tips from top spiritual trainers" (pages 12-17). This month we offer Part I with 20 short reflections from some of the best spiritual writers from our Catholic tradition, past and present, (and a few from other spiritual traditions). Many were written especially for this article, but others were culled from books and other written materials. In March we'll offer Part II with 20 more reflections.
You may choose to savor one a day during Lent, or you might want to devour them all at once. Either way, I hope you'll be nourished by the wisdom of such diverse thinkers as Joyce Rupp and Pope John Paul II, Saint Frances de Sales and M. Scott Peck, Dostoevsky and Dorothy Day. And if you decide to commit to even more spiritual reading during Lent, I highly recommend the full works of any of these 40 "spiritual trainers" as a good place to start.
Another good Lenten exercise is to consider what God is calling you to do with your life. In this month's special vocations issue, we offer two perspectives: one from an ordained priest in "Diary of a city priest" (pages 39-41) and another from a young lay woman, "How to get where you're going" (pages 36-38). Happy reading. Now I've got to get back to those sit-ups.

Gov't to ensure US will pay for Tubbataha damage
More News from Tarra Quismundo
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—The government will make sure the United States makes good on its pledge to compensate the Philippines for the damage inflicted by a US Navy ship on the Tubbataha Reef marine sanctuary, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said on Tuesday.
Salvage operations to remove the USS Guardian, a US Navy minesweeper that got stranded on the protected area on Jan. 17, were completed on Saturday, or more than two months later.
According to Assistant Secretary Raul Hernandez, the foreign office's spokesperson, because the issue involved another country, even though communications would go through the Department of Foreign Affairs, the work of seeking compensation involved the coordination of different agencies "to make sure the damage that was caused is fully accounted for and that payment for the damage were undertaken by the US."
The US government, through its embassy in Manila, said Saturday that it was committed to pay for any damage that the Guardian caused to what is considered a world treasure.
A marine ecological assessment by Philippine government agencies and the US Navy is expected to begin in the next few days to fully appraise the damage to the reef, initially estimated to cover 4,000 square meters of the marine sanctuary.
The Philippines and the United States are conducting separate investigations of the incident, a rare occurrence in which the US military suffered the complete loss of a vital naval asset at peacetime.
"We would like to emphasize that the maritime casualty investigation team led by the Philippine Coast Guard continues to conduct an independent investigation in order that this kind of accident will not happen again," said Hernandez.
"The US has its own investigation on what happened and since the [Guardian's] crew have already been assigned to [the US base in] Japan, then their investigation is being conducted there," he said.
He said the two countries maintain "information sharing and cooperation" on the Guardian grounding investigation and that a contingent from the Philippines had been invited to observe the US investigation.
A Philippine Coast Guard team will be flying to Japan to meet with US investigators as Guardian crewmen had refused to consent to a face-to-face interview, which the militant Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) has criticized.
Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes Jr. said this was "humiliating" as the Philippines, the aggrieved party, appeared to be "pleading for the cooperation of US troops."
He said the Guardian crew should never have been allowed to leave the country before a probe could be conducted.
"The probe should have taken place here, under our own terms, under our domestic laws. The US troops should have been held for the violation of Philippine laws," said Reyes in a statement.
"Our sovereignty has clearly been undermined. Our probe will only go as far as the US Navy allows it to go. That is truly anomalous and is an affront to our country. Why should the Philippine government submit to the conditions of the US Navy when it is the US Navy that caused the damage in the first place. It is patently untenable and speaks of the subservience of the Aquino government to US dictates," he said.

I just returned from a recent trip to Disney World with the family. A short, but jam-packed trip. Vaughn really wanted to take the boys so I agreed and we headed there during one of the busiest times of year, spring break.
I am always amazed at the sights I see when such large crowds come from far and wide to grab a sliver of the magic everyone so fondly talks about. Some of the things I witnessed are anything but magical. For me, I think I experienced more comedy than fantasy. You know I have to poke some fun at the silliness. Here are some of my funny observations:
People walking around eating turkey legs at 10am. I guess you could consider that a mid-morning snack. But, I think I'm more comfortable with some fruit or yogurt at that time. But, if the sudden urge hits you at 10am to walk around holding a big hunk of meat, Disney is where it's at.
The teeny tiny girls all dolled up as princesses. Maybe it's because I had two boys first, or maybe it's because I never did believe in FAIRY TALES, but there's something so freaky about toddlers adorning lots of makeup being schleped around by their parents. There were hundreds of tiny princess clones everywhere.
Okay so if you care enough about your family to buy everyone matching t-shirts, then why would "Nana" pull down "Aiden's" pants and spank him in front of the world to see. Seriously looked super dumb and I only know this because their t-shirts identified them.
Also, if you are breast feeding your child please let the kid sit down and eat. I'm not against breast feeding at all. I did it. Even in public places if I had to. But, for gods sake don't do it while Little Johnny is dangling from your body and you are speed walking from Fantasy Land to Space Mountain. Talk about eating on the go. It was truly a sight to behold.
It is truly a miracle that you make it through the day without being run over by a scooter. A couple of old ladies really know how to haul some you know what in those things.
Parents putting their tired older children in strollers. I couldn't help but notice kids as old as 6, 7, 8, maybe even 10 being pushed around in strollers. Hey, people, if you kid is lethargic and looks like they might be suffering from heat exhaustion it might be time to call it a day.
I can't believe we all made it. The boys had a blast and I even got to go on some rides. For me, the magic was grabbing a Starbucks and having Eve take a nap in her stroller. I guess you could say that was a bit of magic in itself.


text: One thing that has hurt Fed all year vs Nadal, in all 3 of his losses to Nadal in fact, is very poor break point conversion, and very poor play on those break point. However it is something he is having trouble with this vs most opponents, not only vs Nadal it seems. I wonder what his stat for the year would be, I suspect not high since every match I follow of his it is a problem. The only difference is vs Nadal he does not get away with it, and it costs him matches, or made the likelihood of him losing the match that much greater. If he had even played decently as far as his break point play this year he would have won atleast 2 of his 3 matches vs Nadal so far, that hurt him in all 3 of their matches. Has anybody else noticed his trouble of playing break points effectively so far squandering two match points vs Nadal in Roma were not only match this year, especialy for a #1 standards? It is no small irony that Federer points, but break points. Snyonymous of his year so far, alot of great tennis, but difficulty of playing break points well.

Carl Soderberg (ankle) remains out for Bruins
|10.04.13 at 12:53 pm ET
Carl Soderberg was once again absent as the Bruins practiced Friday in anticipation of the Red Wings. Soderberg has been out since last week with a left ankle injury.
Claude Julien said following the practice that the team isn't sure when he'll be back on the ice, but that it will be "soon."
"It's a hard injury to come in and say 'Listen, he's going to be in on Sunday or Monday,'" Julien said. "It's really hard to really pinpoint with that type of injury, but he is definitely getting better every day, and I really think he is getting closer. Hopefully if there's no setbacks, he should be on the ice soon."
With Soderberg likely out Saturday against Detroit, the Bruins will be able to get another look at the Jordan Caron – Chris Kelly – Reilly Smith line that was so good in Thursday's season-opener.

Induction of cell cycle changes and modulation of apoptogenic/anti-apoptotic and extracellular signaling regulatory protein expression by water extracts of I'm-Yunity™ (PSP)
- Equal contributors
Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY 10595, USA
BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2006, 6:30 doi:10.1186/1472-6882-6-30Published: 11 September 2006
I'm-Yunity™ (PSP) is a mushroom extract derived from deep-layer cultivated mycelia of the patented Cov-1 strain of Coriolus versicolor (CV), which contains as its main bioactive ingredient a family of polysaccharo-peptide with heterogeneous charge properties and molecular sizes. I'm-Yunity™ (PSP) is used as a dietary supplement by cancer patients and by individuals diagnosed with various chronic diseases. Laboratory studies have shown that I'm-Yunity™ (PSP) enhances immune functions and also modulates cellular responses to external challenges. Recently, I'm-Yunity™ (PSP) was also reported to exert potent anti-tumorigenic effects, evident by suppression of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis in malignant cells. We investigate the mechanisms by which I'm-Yunity™ (PSP) elicits these effects.
Human leukemia HL-60 and U-937 cells were incubated with increasing doses of aqueous extracts of I'm-Yunity™ (PSP). Control and treated cells were harvested at various times and analyzed for changes in: (1) cell proliferation and viability, (2) cell cycle phase transition, (3) induction of apoptosis, (4) expression of cell cycle, apoptogenic/anti-apoptotic, and extracellular regulatory proteins.
Aqueous extracts of I'm-Yunity™ (PSP) inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in HL-60 and U-937 cells, accompanied by a cell type-dependent disruption of the G1/S and G2/M phases of cell cycle progression. A more pronounced growth suppression was observed in treated HL-60 cells, which was correlated with time- and dose-dependent down regulation of the retinoblastoma protein Rb, diminution in the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins bcl-2 and survivin, increase in apoptogenic proteins bax and cytochrome c, and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) from its native 112-kDa form to the 89-kDa truncated product. Moreover, I'm-Yunity™ (PSP)-treated HL-60 cells also showed a substantial decrease in p65 and to a lesser degree p50 forms of transcription factor NF-κB, which was accompanied by a reduction in the expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2). I'm-Yunity™ (PSP) also elicited an increase in STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription) and correspondingly, decrease in the expression of activated form of ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase).
Aqueous extracts of I'm-Yunity™ (PSP) induces cell cycle arrest and alterations in the expression of apoptogenic/anti-apoptotic and extracellular signaling regulatory proteins in human leukemia cells, the net result being suppression of proliferation and increase in apoptosis. These findings may contribute to the reported clinical and overall health effects of I'm-Yunity™ (PSP).

BALTIMORE - The Orioles' bullpen has undergone a closer change and a multitude of shuffling pitchers between the majors and the minors.
Zach Britton replaced Tommy Hunter as the closer due to ineffectiveness, and also because Hunter served a brief stint on the disabled list. There have been relievers who are only in Baltimore for a short time, such as Preston Guilmet, Brad Brach, and others.
Entering Saturday's game against Tampa Bay, Orioles relievers had posted a 0.38 ERA in the last seven games. And it hasn't just been one reliever carrying most of the load, but rather each of them pitching effectively.
Britton has posted a 1.52 ERA this season and has converted 10 of his 11 save opportunities. He has fared much better than Hunter in the role and has found himself pitching better than he did in the past as a starter.
Darren O'Day has also been impressive, pitching to a 1.41 ERA in his first 33 appearancese of the season.
Brian Matusz has succeeded in not only getting left-handed batters out, but providing some quality innings of middle relief. So has Ryan Webb, who entered Saturday with a 2-1 record and 2.55 ERA.
Those guys were all expected to be heavy contributors to the Orioles' bullpen. Baltimore has also gotten some great relief from some unexpected pitchers too.
T.J. McFarland has a 2.81 ERA in 13 appearances this season. And in June, McFarland has the second lowest ERA among American League relievers, giving up one earned run in 14 2-3 innings (0.61).
"He's in a pretty good groove," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Having a guy like Mac who can defend himself against right-handed and left-handed hitters is big in the length."
Showalter is also a fan of McFarland's versatility.
"Another thing about Mac. Some guy walks in here with food poisoning or whatever, I can walk around the corner, 'Mac, you're starting. Get your stuff ready.' 'Fine,'" Showalter said. "He can do that."
This past week, the Orioles' bullpen depth has been on full display. In the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Rays, Brach and Evan Meek each pitched two scoreless innings of relief.
That helped save the bullpen for the rest of the series, as well as an eight-inning start from Chris Tillman in the nightcap.
In Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the White Sox, six Baltimore relievers combined to pitch 5 2-3 innings of scoreless relief, giving up just three hits and striking out six.
"Bullpen was fantastic," Matusz said after the game. "We've got a great group of guys down there in the bullpen. Today was a good example of it."
Analysis: Bullpen rounding into top form

Symbian Opens Up
When Nokia bought Symbian in 2008, nobody had any reason to believe their thoughts were anywhere near Open Source — particularly given that just weeks prior, its Open Source chief declared that when it came to FOSS, the company wasn't "ready to play by the rules." Nevertheless, Open Source was exactly what Nokia had in mind for Symbian, and as of today, the process is complete.
Parts of the Symbian platform have been Open Source for quite some time — portions of the code were Open Sourced shortly after it was donated to the Symbian Foundation, and other portions have slowly been released in the nearly two years since. The complete opening wasn't expected until later this year, but finished ahead of schedule due, said Foundation Executive Director Lee Williams, to "the extraordinary commitment and dedication from our staff and our member companies."
The Symbian Foundation picked the Eclipse Public License as its Open Source variant of choice. According to the Symbian Developer Community site, the EPL was chosen "because it balances our goals of encouraging development of the Symbian platform, builds a contributor community and encourages vigorous commercial competition through innovation on top of the platform." It goes on to specifically address the choice not to use the GPL, saying they "[want] to be absolutely clear" that those using the Symbian platform in devices "will be able to add new features and support new hardware without having to make all of that code open source," excepting certain alterations of the licensed code itself. Some code, however, is available under other Open Source licenses, though examples were not immediately available.
The full Symbian^3 codebase — 108 packages in all — is now available for download from the Symbian developer site, including developer and product development kits.

Nokia PC Suite
Nokia is doing giant leaps to be a true Software Libre company. But all these efforts seem meaningless to me without one thing.
Why, oh why, can't I buy an ordinary (S40, S20) Nokia phone, plug it into a Linux computer, and watch it sync, at least, with Kontact through an Akonadi resource? (let's admit it: Qt is made by Nokia now, so no GNOME for the time being). There is a program under Windows called Nokia PC Suite, made entirely in Qt, that allows me to manage a Nokia phone under Windows. This baby is useless in Linux, even under Wine.
So, this has to be done. A Libre (free as in freedom) Nokia PC Suite for Linux, with libre drivers for the Linux kernel.
Try OpenSync or multisync-gui
Other than wammu or gammu or xgnokii, you could try multisync-gui. I have successfully interfaced multisync-gui and evolution. It is possible to sync with Sunbird too.
Cool, but... No editor credit?? ;D
Well Done But Maemo 5?
Hello, this is a great new for all the Nokia users and not only those. I'm one of them. I has got a nokia 900. It runs maemo 5 a debian version of linux. While the symbian is great - with Skyfire and Opera mobile browsers - to display all websites and thir content, Maemo cannot login to websites like www.ebay.it and www.saldiprivati.com for example. We'll see in the future with new firmwares and new browsers availability.

Oil prices steady but indications rally running out of steam
We all know the oil is running out. But the GCC is struggling to devise a collective approach to energy security for the future, reports Trends magazine.
February 7, 2010 5:12 by Edmund Sheen
It's almost like waiting for the next Black Swan.
As the debate rages as to the shape of the global recovery (U or V or W?), a major component of the equation – companies that produce energy – are finding their formerly unassailable position redefined in the resource-rich countries of the Middle East.
Whether it's because of the uncertainty of global consumption, a classic producer-consumer conflict of interest, fluctuating fuel prices, or growing focus on renewable energy, one thing's certain: There's no dearth of challenges for hydrocarbon producers in the post-downturn era.
The debate assumes even greater significance for the Gulf region. The six Gulf Cooperation Council countries account for 65 percent of OPEC's crude oil output and 60 percent of its marketed production of natural gas.
Gulf reserves will last longer than OPEC reserves, just as OPEC reserves will last longer than the world's reserves. That is to say, the shares of proven reserves in the GCC are at 72 percent for oil and 79 percent for natural gas. The region possesses 57 percent of the world's crude oil reserves and 40 percent of its natural gas. And its share of world output is just a fraction of this – at 30 percent for oil and 11 percent for gas.
Several industry experts say these high reserves can lead to a problem of plenty, especially when insufficient investment is going back into the industry. They gathered in Abu Dhabi recently to discuss a range of such issues at an energy security conference. Energy security in a globalized economy, oil price preferences, demand implications for oil-producing countries and a sustainable energy mix were some of the topics discussed.
Age-Old Struggle
What was most evident was the tussle between energy producers and consumers that has manifested itself over the years. The president of OPEC and Angola's minister of petroleum, José Maria Botelho de Vasconcelos, was the most combative. He decried uncertainty over future world economic growth levels, consuming countries' energy policies and the state of oil exploration and extraction technology. He demanded transparency, predictability and consistency in policy-making.
According to Vasconcelos, the lack of clarity on these issues makes it almost impossible to devise effective investment strategies for future production capacity to meet rising demand. Even more worrisome has been the lack of a collective approach on energy security, something both sides strive for but hardly achieve. "We have been sad to hear recent calls by some influential parties in richer nations to reduce dependence on imported oil. We cannot see where this is leading to and what they hope to gain from such calls," he said.
