Derek Ramsay's Olympic moments
Actor/Model/Athlete and sports aficionado Derek Ramsay flew to London to cover the Olympics for TV5. "It was an awesome experience for me," he said.
For Derek, it was more than just an assignment. "I was in London to support our athletes who are giving everything for our country."
While in London, Derek took to Twitter to rally for the Filipino athletes. He tweeted: "Without proper support our athletes will never be competitive. Kung puso ang paguusapan panalo ang mga athletes natin. They gave everything!" and "To all the Filipino Olympians we are proud of you! Binigay nyo lahat para sa bayan nyo."
A true sports fan, Derek said he enjoyed the revelry at the games. "I loved the Olympic spirit. Because of sports, the whole world came together as one. When athletes would compete, the crowd would cheer for all of them no matter what country they were from."
Derek, an endorser of the Swiss watch brand Swatch, wore the different colors of the new Chrono Plastic watches during his reports. The new Chrono Plastic was launched via the Olympics coverage.
Derek is back in the country and is already looking forward to the next Olympic games. "I can't wait for Rio in 2016," he said.

Samsung upbeat on PH smartphone market
popular .
Despite the introduction of new products by rival firms, South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics Co. expects to maintain its dominance in the Philippine mobile device market, citing its innovative offerings and presence in all product segments.
Samsung Philippines officials on Thursday said smartphones continued to drive growth in the sales of mobile devices as consumers embraced mobile applications that could be accessed only by phones connected to the web.
"Growth is coming from the smartphone segment in the Philippines. Consumers are embracing functions that are not available on feature phones," said Coco Domingo, product marketing head at Samsung Philippines' mobile division.
The company declined to give exact figures, but Domingo said Samsung remained the leader in the mobile space across all segments, covering smartphones, feature phones and tablet computers.
Domingo said prices had gone down substantially in the past year to the point that some smartphones were now just slightly more expensive than feature phones, also referred to in the industry as "dumb" phones.
He said the company was unfazed by the recent launches of high-end devices by rival tech firms. These devices include the new BlackBerry Z10 by Canada's BlackBerry, the Xperia Z smartphone by Japan's Sony and LG Electronics' new Optimus G.
These new devices are expected to compete directly with Samsung's new Galaxy S4 smartphone that was unveiled in New York last month. The S4 is not yet available in the Philippines, but Domingo said the new smartphone would be offered by local telcos "soon."
Samsung Philippines launched yesterday its new Galaxy Note 8.0, an 8-inch tablet computer that features Internet connectivity. The Galaxy Note 8.0 was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain last February.
The Note 8.0 features a 1.6-gigahertz processor, 2 gigabytes or RAM, and 16 gigabytes of internal storage. The device runs on the Jellybean, the latest version of Google's Android operating system.

Roy Oswalt moving from Triple-A to Double-A for next start
Jun 11, 2012, 10:47 AM EDT
Roy Oswalt's second minor-league start involved giving up a grand slam to Royals stud prospect Wil Myers on the way to allowing five runs in four innings at Triple-A.
He'll move down a level to Double-A for his third tune-up outing tomorrow night and if things go well he could be on the verge of joining the Rangers' rotation, especially with Derek Holland on the disabled list and fill-in Alexi Ogando now sidelined by a groin injury.
When he signed with the Rangers last month Oswalt indicated that he'd likely need four starts in the minors to get ready, but if Ogando joins Holland and Neftali Feliz on the DL the Rangers may be tempted to push up that timetable a bit.
- euie48 - Jun 11, 2012 at 11:40 AM
He goes from T-A to D-A and is now ready for the show? Explain?
- CJ - Jun 11, 2012 at 11:48 AM
happens all the time. Star players rehab according to most team's minor league home schedules Easy. For two reasons:
1) reduces unnecessary travel
2) shares the boost attendance and revenue across multiple teams in the Ranger's system
This has far more to do with money and convenience than it does the level of competition or even Oswalt's getting knocked around last week. Then, he was most likely treating it like a ST game and sharpening a specific pitch or trying something a little different. For example, if he was working on refining a curve, after he throws it 22 times in the first 2 innings, even an AAA guy can figure out to sit on it and smash the thing next time. It's not like Oswalt's trying to pitch a no-hitter or anything. It's far more to his benefit to refine and sharpen his arsenal than it is to try to strikeout a bunch of overmatched kids.
- psuravens19 - Jun 11, 2012 at 11:50 AM
Well said… the O's just did the same thing Brian Roberts.
- jimbo1949 - Jun 11, 2012 at 12:04 PM
Wait, Brian Roberts is working on his curve ball? I thought his slider was a little off last time.
- CJ - Jun 11, 2012 at 12:12 PM
very true ravens…in Roberts' case it makes even more sense: reducing travel also increase's an injured player's ability to stay on a regimented training schedule without it being interrupted by bus trips, etc. Of course that doesn't apply quite so much in Oswalt's situation since he isn't hurt, so I didn't mention it initially.
It's also easier for the big league club to send the GM or whoever to keep an eye on him if the AA team is somewhat local. Especially in this case where they have to make a tough decision whether to bring him up a week early or not because they're so thin in the rotation right now
- number42is1 - Jun 11, 2012 at 12:15 PM
So let me understand this… he's behind the rest of the class and hes going to catch up by going slower? COO-COO!
- CJ - Jun 11, 2012 at 12:26 PM
yeah, because the yankees always rehab their stars in AAA because it's the better competition as opposed to in AA Trenton which is closer to their team's headquarters.
Wait, did I say always? I meant pretty much never. Where did Jeter rehab last year? Trenton. Where is Robertson rehabbing this week? Trenton.
But I guess you'll just spout off that the Yankees are smart for doing this because, well, they're the Yankees, but the Rangers are stupid for doing the same exact thing, because, well, they aren't the Yankees. And I'd expect nothing less from you.
- number42is1 - Jun 11, 2012 at 12:35 PM
or…. you know… you can not be such an ass… w/e
Bart: Let me get this straight: we're behind the rest of our class and we're going to catch up to them by going slower than they are? Coo Coo!
[rest of the class starts mindlessly chanting "Coo coo!", forcing the teacher to individually snap them out of it]
- CJ - Jun 11, 2012 at 1:41 PM
that was the worst attempt at a Simpson's reference I've seen in quite a while. Sorry I missed it. But like any joke, if you have to resort to explaining it, it wasn't funny.
- number42is1 - Jun 11, 2012 at 2:15 PM
yea it was probably me not you…
- sportsguygerald - Jun 11, 2012 at 12:46 PM
It's not the competition, but Round Rock went on the road and Frisco is playing at home. Frisk happens to be about 20 miles from Arlington. The Rangers have a homestand this week and he can use the Rangers facilities for the between starts regimen as well as the staff monitoring the start. He needs to get his arm stretched out more than anything and throwing pitches to AA hitters is no different than throwing to AAA hitters.

There was no Google back then so I presume that, to many in my audience, my mini-speech remained their sole knowledge of Costa Rica. Today, mentioning Costa Rica brings out one of two responses: I recently visited and it was the most amazing destination ever! I can't wait to return OR I know someone who was recently there and had a blast. They can't stop talking about the experience. I can't wait to visit! Indeed Costa Rica garners growing international attention. The world knows that we have not had an army since 1948 and that much of our GDP is invested in education and health systems.

Didn't get an invite to Kim Kardashian's wedding to basketballer Kris Humphries? No problem, E! has your back.
The network and home to all things Kardashian announced that it will air "Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event" over two nights in October. The behind-the-scenes special is slated to make its debut on Sunday, October 9, with the second part airing a day later on Monday, October 10, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The wedding will take place on August 20 in California. Taking some cues from her sister Khloe, who also had an E! wedding special back in 2009 when she married Lakers star Lamar Odom
, Kim will wear a dress designed by Vera Wang. No word on whether, like Khloe and Lamar, the newlyweds will get their own spin-off from the highly successful "Keeping Up With the Kardashians"
Fans of the reality starlet got a glimpse of the wedding invitation late last month when it hit the Internet. The black-and-white invites were designed by Lehr & Black, who also worked with Khloe and Lamar on their invitations, People.com reports.
Kim and Kris , the latest Kardashian beau to appear on "Keeping Up With," got engaged in May, and the news came as quite a surprise to her sisters.
"We were totally surprised. I mean, because I had been working so much, and Kris lives in New Jersey, I've only met him not even a handful of times," Khloe explained to MTV News earlier this summer. "We were at a family dinner and she walks in, and she's like, 'I'm engaged,' but we didn't even know if it was a joke."

Furbearer Forecast,: ; DNR Officials:Outlook Good for W.Va. Trappers
By John McCoy
Though its presence often gets lost amid the hullabaloo about hunting, West Virginia's trapping season remains an important part of wildlife officials' attempts to manage furbearer populations.
"Trapping is absolutely important to this state," said Paul Johansen, assistant wildlife chief for the Division of Natural Resources. "Not only are trappers an important constituent group for our agency, they perform a crucial function in keeping certain species of animals from becoming too abundant."
Johansen said trapping has helped West Virginia avoid some of the wildlife-related problems that have plagued other states.
"In Massachusetts, for example, beaver trapping was restricted. Beaver populations spiraled out of control, and taxpayers ended up shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix road flooding and other problems created by beaver dams," he explained. "That work would never have been necessary if trapping had been allowed."
Twelve furbearer species can be trapped during West Virginia's state-sanctioned season – raccoons, red and gray foxes, bobcats, mink, muskrats, fishers, beavers, coyotes, skunks, opossums and weasels. This year's season begins Nov. 4.
Rich Rogers, the DNR's furbearer project leader, said trappers should enjoy "reasonable success" this year.
"Furbearer populations are in good shape," he said. "And if the weather stays cold, the animals' coats will get into prime shape more quickly. When you add those factors to the current market conditions, which are better than they have been for a while, the outlook is pretty good."
A relative abundance of nuts, berries and other wildlife foods during the past two autumns has helped to expand furbearer populations.
"Most people have trouble grasping that because furbearers don't eat nuts and berries," Rogers explained. "But when mast is abundant, small mammal populations increase. The predators that feed on those mammals get more to eat, and when they do their populations expand as well."
West Virginia's bobcat population, for example, is higher than surrounding states'. Coyotes also are abundant, as are fishers and beavers.
"We're really enthusiastic about the way our fisher range is expanding," Rogers said. "Population densities have increased in the core ranges, and range expansion has been amazing. People are seeing and catching fishers in counties we never would have imagined."
Muskrats and mink, on the other hand, aren't faring as well. "Biologists are noting declines in muskrat populations throughout the United States," Rogers said. "No one really seems to know why. There's speculation that it might have something to do with acid rain or toxic chemicals, but so far no one has defined it. Whatever it is, it seems to be having an effect on mink, too."
Trappers who work the woods and waters of the state this year can expect to be reasonably compensated for their efforts. Rogers said the fur market is "looking pretty good."
"Muskrat prices are really good, $8 to $9 a pelt. That's up from a low of $1.50. We're not going to see prices like we saw during the fur boom of the 1980s, but we're at least getting prices that are good enough to make trapping worth a person's time."

I've been sitting on this post for a while now. I didn't think it would be a good idea to promote my recipe for homemade ice cream cake during our Whole30 challenge. Look at me being sensitive So anyway, this recipe came about as I was preparing for the Dude's 6th birthday in December. My kid doesn't really like cake. We go to birthday parties and he eats a few bites and then pretty much leaves the rest. He's also not a big fan of icing. I am not sure where this child came from. Delicious cake, whether it is birthday cake or wedding cake, is my kryptonite. I had to stop watching Cake Boss because I was literally salivating at the TV. Even just thinking about cake right now as I write this has me seriously jonesing for a piece. Talk about the addictive qualities food can have over us, huh?
So the Dude doesn't like cake; he sure likes ice cream. As I mentioned in a favorite things post about kitchen gadgets, my ice cream attachment to my Kitchen Aid mixer is the bomb. You literally attach the bowl to the mixer, turn it on and go do something else for 10-ish minutes. When you return, you will have the most amazing ice cream, sorbet, sherbet, gelato, etc. I decided to make my Dude an ice cream cake for his birthday. It came out amazing. I don't eat dairy any more…well I shouldn't. I feel awful when I eat it and I know this. I make coconut milk ice cream for me. But as his mom, and a blogger now, I had to at least try a little taste of my masterpiece since I knew I was going to write about it. Well….let's just say a little taste turned into a little piece, which turned into a whole piece which turned into 3 whole pieces by the end of the week. Yup, it was so good I ate it three times that week knowing full well that I would be sick each time. Brilliant….good job Pam. Every decision has a consequence whether it's good or bad. My consequence was the way my face broke out after that. I never had acne as a kid but boy did my skin break out like a middle schooler after "Ice Cream Fest 2012."
Would I eat it again? Heck yeah, I would just only have 1 piece next time!

10 oz. paleo caramel sauce (recipe below)
Maple Vanilla Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
32 oz. Half & Half
16 oz. whipping cream
6 egg yolks
1 cup maple syrup
2 TBSP Arrowroot powder
2 TBSP vanilla extract
¼ cup vodka
1 c chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli double chocolate bittersweet chips. I get a 3 lb. bag at BJ's)
Paleo Hot Fudge Sauce
1/3 cup unrefined granulated sugar
¼ cup water
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
1 TBSP arrowroot powder
3 TBSP coconut oil
1 TBSP pure vanilla extract

1 cup honey
1 cup pure maple syrup
½ tsp arrowroot powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1. Add honey & maple syrup to a sauce pan and warm over medium-low heat to a gentle bubble.
2. Turn heat down to low and stir continuously until sauce begins to thicken and color darkens, about 10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add arrowroot powder, vanilla, & salt. Mix to combine.
4. Return to low heat and mix continuously until sauce reaches desired consistency.
5. Use immediately warm, or refrigerate/freeze for later use.
What I love about this ice cream recipe is that it you don't have to cook it at all. You literally dump all the ingredients in a bowl, mix it up and dump that into your ice cream machine. I just made a batch of the maple vanilla ice cream for the Dude to take to school for his Valentine's Day ice cream party. He loved it! I made it Tuesday night in about 15 minutes. I froze it in a plastic half-gallon container I had lying around. Oh and if you're wondering why the ice cream recipe calls for vodka it's because without it, the ice cream will freeze to a block of ice. This happened to me the first few times I went to make ice cream. We literally were putting it in the microwave so it would be scoop-able. After some research online, and with the help of a friend of mine, Joanna over at Cheekydid , I found out that the alcohol is what prevents the ice cream from becoming a solid block. Eh, who knew? Anyway I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Let me know what you think if you try it.

WASHINGTON - NCUA Board Member J. Mark McWatters called for the NCUA to put more effort toward preventingfraud rather than issuing new rules and regulations.
WASHINGTON - NCUA board member says 58% of SIF losses due to fraud.
The NCUA to explore five new areas of regulatory relief to help credit unions compete in the rapidly evolving marketplace.
Four permanent funds receive clean audit opinions from KPMG LLP.
Exempting 77% of credit unions from a rule creates a two-tiered regulatory system.

The financial crisis may seem like a thing of the past nowadays, but in the words of a philosopher, "those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Insufficient capital during the financial crisis helped caused natural person credit union failures that cost the share insurance fund $750M.
Read the full statement NCUA Vice Chairman Rick Metsger made during the November board meeting.
The NCUA alleged in a lawsuit that Maria Hernandez, the former CEO of the failed El Paso Federal Credit Union, stole millions to buy homes in Texas, Florida and Nevada, to pay for lavish trips and for gambling.

What I hate about Junior tennis. Kids, read this

1. Yes, cheating is very unfortunate. So is how such nastiness is permitted in the tennis culture amongst parents. It makes the sport a lot less fun for a lot of children.
2. This really is not a bad thing. See it as an opportunity to play a much better player. Chances are the #1 seed isn't going to come to your local club to play a match with you, so take the opportunity to try to play your best and see how you match up. It will help you in the long run to get better if you do not try to avoid playing tough (even unwinnable) matches.
3. Yes, I wonder the same thing. What's the point of all the craziness in junior tennis when the vast majority of 3 and 4 star players seem to end up at schools that they never would have chosen were it not for tennis. I'm thinking of one crazy gossipping (really unpleasant) tennis mom in particular. At this point, does she still think her 4-star 16 year old daughter is going pro? Will all the nuttiness pay off in some way down the road? Doesn't seem so.

The budget that was presented had a lot to offer in terms of upgradation and future developments including the bullet trains, sanitation, wi-fi facilities but very little when it came to bringing down fares.
Narendra Modi reiterated the fact that budget was pro-development and had to happen for India to usher in a new era from India. He praised Rail Budget and said, "initiatives taken will help Indian economy in a big way. Rail budget is a growth engine. This budget will prove that. We neglected it in the past. Aimed at overall development of India. It is a modern budget. Focussed on science and technology,"
Below are Narendra Modi's tweets:

Natcore Technology Closes Acquisition of Vanguard Solar
RED BANK, N.J., May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; OTC Pink Sheets: NTCXF) has received approval of the TSX Venture Exchange for the acquisition of Vanguard Solar Inc., thereby closing the acquisition.
As a result of this acquisition, Vanguard's former shareholders, including two leading venture capital firms, join the family of Natcore shareholders.
With the closing of this acquisition, Natcore plans to aggressively advance the cutting-edge solar technologies being developed by Vanguard Solar, in particular the development of a flexible, thin-film photovoltaic material capable of silicon solar cell-like efficiency performance at potentially one-tenth the manufacturing cost and one-twentieth the capital investment.
"We are very excited about the technology developed by Vanguard," says Chuck Provini, Natcore's president and CEO. "With its possible suitability for use in now-dormant photographic film coating facilities, it holds the potential for rapid adoption following the remaining larger-scale proof-of-concept development. We will pursue this potential through both in-house efforts and possible joint ventures with industry."
Brien Lundin, Natcore's chairman, adds that "Through this acquisition, in combination with the many still-untapped applications of our Liquid Phase Deposition process and our acquisition of NewCyte Technology, Natcore is building a very valuable portfolio of intellectual property. While we will remain focused on our core business plan encompassing the development of anti-reflective film growth equipment and tandem solar cells, we will also explore the development of non-core applications."
The Vanguard Solar technology involves a proprietary chemical bath process similar to Natcore's liquid phase deposition (LPD) technology, although Vanguard had grown II-VI compound semiconductor thin films on carbon nanotubes at room temperature and ambient pressure, while Natcore has thus far concentrated on growing silicon dioxide films on silicon substrates.
The first-generation products from Vanguard's method could produce 15%-16% efficiencies at module costs of 60 cents to 70 cents per watt. Second-generation technology could achieve 20% efficiencies at even lower costs per watt. The investment for production facilities is projected as low as $10 million to $15 million per 100-megawatt to 150-megawatt production capability, as compared with current costs of as much as $250 million for standard solar-cell production facilities. Vanguard's production equipment would be designed for insertion into existing roll-to-roll film-coating lines of the sort that have been displaced by the emergence of digital photography. All production materials are widely available and dramatically cheaper than silicon and other thin-film systems. If successfully developed, the process would enable a very cost-efficient production capability in large-scale facilities.
Vanguard has achieved proof-of-concept in small-area devices and is ready to move to a validation stage, during which the company will demonstrate larger-area working devices at the targeted efficiencies expressed above. Vanguard has two pending patents covering its solar cell development, as well as a broad range of photodetectors and optical sensors. Among the applications for the latter are manufacturing process monitoring and controls, homeland security surveillance and biomedical sensors for diagnostics and testing.
As consideration for the purchase of Vanguard, Natcore is issuing Vanguard shareholders a total of 375,236 common shares. Natcore is also issuing 120,075 common shares to a firm performing services for Vanguard to pay legal fees incurred by Vanguard, and 20,000 common shares to a firm providing services to Natcore in relation to the Vanguard acquisition. The securities of Natcore issued pursuant to these transactions are subject to a hold period expiring on September 20, 2010.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("the U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
Statements in this press release other than purely historical factual information, including statements relating to revenues or profits, or the Company's future plans and objectives, or expected sales, cash flows, and capital expenditures constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions and are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties inherent in Natcore's business, including risks inherent in the technology history. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on such statements. Except in accordance with applicable securities laws, Natcore expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements or forward-looking statements that are incorporated by reference herein.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Locks on.
posted 7 years ago
We used these covers and the metal covers at the pet shop I worked for. This type of cover locked on tightly with the screws that come with it. The access door was nice to have so the entire top did not have to come off. This prevented a tank full of Anoles from escaping into the store while you tried to capture one. I would suggest the metal cover for rodents because they chewed on these covers.
Pros: Convenient door.
Cons: Can be chewed if used for rodents.

Kenyon Martin guarantees Celtics 'funeral' in Game 5
|04.29.13 at 11:25 am ET
On his way into TD Garden on Sunday, a Celtics fan who watched his team fall into a 3-0 hole in the first round admitted, "It feels like I'm going to a wake."
Celtics guard Jason Terry, who provided the sunshine in a Game 4 victory, must have felt it, too.
"The guy was mouthing off before the game," Knicks forward Kenyon Martin told the New York Daily News. "He told me, 'You're not dancing at my funeral today.'"
Terry's 18 points, including the C's final nine in their 97-90 overtime win, made true on that promise. So, Martin made his own vow to lay the Celtics to rest in Game 5.
"We're ending it Wednesday," Martin told the Daily News, requesting his teammates "wear black. Funeral colors."
