Cano closing in on Kinsler as All-Star starter
Robinson Cano made a big jump the past week in Major League Baseball's All-Star balloting at second base in the American League and now trails the Rangers' Ian Kinsler, who has been atop the voting all season, by only 15,260 votes. Since Cano has been named the AL captain for the Home Run Derby competition, it might be a good idea for him to make the league's squad for the All-Star Game July 10 at Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium.
Shortstop Derek Jeter and center fielder Curtis Granderson remain among the leaders for starting berths in the annual game between the leagues. Jeter's total of 3,359,875 is still second only to Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton for the most overall votes. Despite missing most of the past week because of an intestinal virus, Hamilton has polled 5,414,880 votes.
Granderson is second among the outfielders with 2,818,535 votes. Moving into third place in the outfield was the Blue Jays' Juan Bautista. The Rangers' Nelson Cruz, who had been running third in the outfield, dropped into fifth place behind Bautista and the Orioles' Adam Jones. The Yankees' Nick Swisher and Brett Gardner ranked seventh and ninth, respectively, in the outfield.
Yankees fans need to throw some votes to first baseman Mark Teixeira, third baseman Alex Rodriguez, catcher Russell Martin and designated hitter Raul Ibanez to improve their chances for All-Star berths.
Teixeira is third at first base behind the Tigers' Prince Fielder and the White Sox' Paul Konerko; A-Rod is fourth at third base behind the Rangers' Adrian Beltre, the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera and the Rays' Evan Longoria; Martin is fifth at catcher behind the Rangers' Mike Napoli, the Twins' Joe Mauer, the Orioles' Matt Wieters and the White Sox' A.J. Pierzynski; Ibanez is third at DH behind the Red Sox' David Ortiz and the Rangers' Michael Young.
Major League Baseball's All-Star balloting program last year produced a record-shattering 32.5 million ballots cast. More than 20 million Firestone All-Star ballots have been distributed at the 30 major-league parks – each of which will have 23 dates for balloting – and in approximately 100 minor-league yards. When the in-stadium phase of balloting concludes June 22, fans will have the opportunity to cast their ballots exclusively online at MLB.com until 11:59 p.m. June 28.
Firestone is the exclusive sponsor of the 2012 In-Stadium All-Star Balloting Program.

Pitchers and reserves for both squads – totaling 25 for the NL and 24 for the AL – will be determined through a combination of player ballot choices and selections made by the All-Star managers – AL skipper Ron Washington of the Rangers and retired NL manager Tony La Russa – in conjunction with MLB.
Jeter AL All-Star vote leader at shortstop
Derek Jeter is the leading vote getter at the shortstop position for the American League in the All-Star balloting announced Tuesday. The Yankees' captain, a 12-time All-Star, has received 1,698,777 votes, second only in the AL to Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton (2,587,991). Jeter has a lead of more than 650,000 votes over Texas' Elvis Andrus in the voting for the All-Star Game July 10 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson ranks second among the outfielders between Hamilton and his Texas teammate, Nelson Cruz. Nick Swisher is seventh in the balloting, just ahead of teammate Brett Gardner, who has been disabled since April 18 because of a right elbow strain.
First baseman Mark Teixeira and second baseman Robinson Cano currently rank second at their respective positions while designated hitter Raul Ibanez is in third place and third baseman Alex Rodriguez and catcher Russell Martin fourth each.
The Yankees opened a six-game homestand Tuesday against division rival Tampa Bay and city rival the Mets, so Yankees fans will have plenty of chances of improving their favorites' vote totals.

A game worth playing hooky for
Relatives, friends and other admirers of Hiroki Kuroda and Yu Darvish in Japan probably all showed up late for work Wednesday to watch the popular pitchers oppose each other in a major-league game Tuesday night at Rangers Ballpark In Arlington. The game started there just after 7 p.m. Central time, which was at 8 a.m. in their home country.
Only the seventh pairing of Japanese-born pitchers in a major-league game was a major event in the country of their birth as well as a top attraction between two of the top contending teams in the American League. Darvish proved the better of the two for this one night as Texas ended the Yankees' four-game winning streak with a 2-0 victory.
The Rangers drew first blood when Ian Kinsler led off the bottom of the first by driving a 1-1 slider to left for his fifth home run. After two hitless innings, Darvish ran into big trouble in the third when the Yankees loaded the bases with none out on a single by Eric Chavez, a walk to Russell Martin and a beauty of a bunt single by Derek Jeter, who extended his hitting streak to 14 games and is hitting .416.
Darvin showed why the Rangers were willing to shell out more than $100 million to sign the righthander as he struck out Curtis Granderson looking at a 2-2 curve and got Alex Rodriguez to ground into an around-the-horn double play.
Kuroda kept the Yankees in the game, but they could not break through against Darvish. Kuroda hurt himself in the third with a two-out walk of Elvis Andrus and a wild pitch that put him into scoring position at second base from where Josh Hamilton got him home with a single to center. Kuroda held the Rangers to two hits after that before departing with two out in the seventh and down by only two runs.
As Yankees manager Joe Girardi had noted, Darvish has more different types of pitches than a catcher has fingers, and he showed off all of them – fastballs of various speeds, curves, sliders, cutters, splits, changes of pace – the whole toolbox.
Watching from his box seat near the Texas dugout, Rangers president Nolan Ryan, the Hall of Fame pitcher and one of the great workhorses, had to love Darvish's performance, which he applauded when the latest Japanese import came off the field after giving up a one-out single to Nick Swisher in the ninth. Closer Joe Nathan needed only one pitch to end the game as Chavez bounced into a double play.
This one had to remind Ryan of his matchups against Jim Palmer or Catfish Hunter 30-odd years ago when pitching into the ninth was expected of starters. Darvish scattered seven hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts in improving his record to 3-0 with a 2.42 ERA. It was a tough luck loss for Kuroda in a marquee matchup that for a change lived up to its billing.
Captain and A-Rod keep climbing Yankees ladder
Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez keep moving up the Yankees' career lists. The left side of the club's infield had standout efforts along with starting pitcher CC Sabathia as the Yankees took their winning ways in Boston all the way down to Texas in knocking off the red-hot Rangers, 7-4.
A-Rod's first hit off a left-handed pitcher this year was a big one, a three-run homer in the fifth inning off the Rangers' Derek Holland that gave the Yankees a five-run lead. It must have been particularly satisfying for Alex considering that he is regularly booed at Rangers Ballpark In Arlington since he pushed for the trade that brought him to the Yankees in 2004. Monday night was no different. With a sellout crowd of 48,234 on hand to celebrate the retirement of another Rodriguez, Ivan a/k/a Pudge, there were plenty of Texas-sized voices to ring A-Rod's ears. What better way to answer taunts than hit a towering home run?
It was Rodriguez's 632nd career home run and his 287th with the Yankees, the latter number tying him with Bernie Williams for sixth place on the franchise list. A-Rod has a way to go to catch up with the guy who is fifth on that list – Hall of Famer Yogi Berra at 358.
Jeter's run-scoring double in the sixth, one of his four hits in the game, raised his career RBI total to 1,210, which brings him even with Hall of Famer Bill Dickey for seventh on the club ladder. Bernie is sixth at 1,257 RBI. The 4-for-5 game shot DJ's batting average to .411. The Captain's success against a lefthander – all four hits were off Holland – comes as no surprise. He is batting .630 against lefties this year (that's right – 17-for-27) and raked southpaws at a .349 clip last year.
Rodriguez, on the other hand, had been all but invisible against lefties this year, going 0-for-17 before digging in against Holland, who walked him twice before giving up that bomb off a 0-1 fastball.
Holland has been something of a punching bag against the Yankees while at the same time being one of the American League's best left-handed starters. He was 16-5 last season for the Rangers, who reached the World Series for the second consecutive season. Against the Yankees, however, Holland has had no success.
His career mark against them fell to 0-5 with a 9.26 ERA. The Yankees have hit .340 against Holland, who has allowed 48 hits (10 of them home runs) in 34 innings with more walks (21) than strikeouts (20). He fell behind in the first inning by giving up a two-out, two-run single to left-handed batting Curtis Granderson. Nick Swisher picked up his 21st RBI in the fifth with a sacrifice fly.
The Rangers, who lost for only the fourth time in 17 games, pecked away at Sabathia (2-0) in the late innings, but the big guy hung tough, especially in the eighth when he set down 3-4-5 hitters Josh Hamilton, Michael Young and Mike Napoli, who have combined to drive in 43 runs already this season, on weak grounders. Mariano Rivera followed with a perfect ninth for his fourth save.
Mixed results for Yanks in All-Star Game
PHOENIX – It was anything but a 1-2-3 inning for David Robertson, who got a 1-2-3 result in the second inning of the All-Star Game Monday night at Chase Field. Called on early because the Red Sox' Josh Beckett was hurting, Robertson had plenty of support from his teammates in getting through the inning in his debut All-Star performance.
For all the heat Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Alex Rodriguez are taking for not coming here, it was good to see three Yankees on the field when Robertson came into the game to join starters Robinson Cano at second base and Curtis Granderson in center field.
Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista made a stunning, sliding catch in the right field corner on a foul drive by Braves catcher Brian McCann, the Most Valuable Player of last year's All-Star Game at Anaheim, Calif.
Cardinals right fielder Lance Berkman, who was Robertson's teammate with the Yankees for a couple of months last year, lined a single through the middle. Robertson needed assistance from Cano to get out of trouble. As Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday looked at a 3-2 cutter down the middle for a called strike three, Berkman tried to steal second, but he slid off the bag with Cano alertly tagging him after taking the throw from Tigers catcher Alex Avila. That completed a strike-'em-out, thrown-'em-out double play.
Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, still swinging for the fences the night after his close loss to Cano in the Home Run Derby, connected off Phillies lefthander Cliff Lee for a leadoff home run in the fourth inning. The American League's first 11 batters were retired in order before Gonzo's homer, the first in an All-Star Game since 2008 at Yankee Stadium, by another Red Sox player, J.D. Drew, in the seventh inning. Two innings earlier, Holliday, then with the Rockies, homered for the National League.
The AL jumped on Lee for two more hits, singles by Bautista and the Rangers' Josh Hamilton, before Lee was lifted by NL manager Bruce Bochy of the Giants for Nationals righthander Tyler Clippard. Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre lashed a single to left, but a strong throw by the Astros' Hunter Pence cut down Bautista at the plate.
Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder, who has been booed regularly here for two days, heard his first cheers when he followed singles by the Mets' Carlos Beltran and the Dodgers' Matt Kemp for a three-run home run in the bottom of the fourth off Rangers lefthander C.J. Wilson. It was the first All-Star home run by a Brewers player for Fielder, who was the captain of the NL in the Home Run Derby and had incurred Arizona fans' wrath for not putting the Diamondbacks' Justin Upton in the competition.
Three stolen bases helped the NL scratch out a run in the fifth, by which time Granderson and Cano had come out of the game. Each had grounded out twice. Yankees catcher Russell Martin was the only AL position player who did not get into the game, a 5-1 NL victory.
All-Star voting down to last 3 days
With three days remaining in the fans' balloting for the Major League All-Star Game July 12 at Chase Field in Phoenix, the Yankees remain in first place in five of the nine positions for the American League squad. Make sure to get your vote in to ensure your favorite Yankees make the trip to Arizona.
Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson are just about locks at second base and in the outfield, respectively. Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez have substantial leads at their respective positions of shortstop and third base, and Russell Martin is still the leader of the pack among catchers.
Cano's vote total of 4,724,816 is second among all AL players to only Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista, who has 5,263,840, and well ahead of second-place second baseman Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox at 2,979,181.
There is a race heating up in the outfield for the third spot alongside Bautista and Granderson (4,582,419). The Rangers' Josh Hamilton has 3,173,000 votes, which is only 121,325 ahead of the Red Sox' Jacoby Ellsbury. The Yankees' Nick Swisher and Brett Gardner ranked eighth and ninth, respectively, among outfielders.
The Yankees are trying to nail down three-quarters of the infield spots. Jeter has 3,392,128 votes and a 506,350-vote lead over second-place shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera of the Indians. A-Rod's total of 3,735,406 is 800,033 ahead of third base runner-up Adrian Beltre of the Rangers. At first base, unfortunately, the Red Sox' Adrian Gonzalez with 4,014,722 has moved out to a 937,480-vote head over Mark Teixeira, who is tied with Bautista for the AL home run lead.
Martin, trying for his first All-Star starting assignment, has gotten a huge break with the injury to the Twins' Joe Mauer and has a 434,527-vote edge over the Tigers' Alex Avila. Boston's David Ortiz is a runaway leader at designated hitter with 4,237,014, more than two million higher than his closest competitor, the Rangers' Michael Young. The Yankees' Jorge Posada is running third with 1,453,385.

Last week of All-Star voting
The Yankees are still leading in five positions of the American League voting for the All-Star Game July 12 at Chase Field in Phoenix. There are eight days remaining in the balloting for fans to make sure a large contingent of Yankees players qualify for the AL starting lineup.
Second baseman Robinson Cano is the second leading vote-getter among AL players with 3,664,498 behind only Blue Jays right fielder Juan Bautista (4,156,940). Cano's lead is more than a million votes over runner-up Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox.
Also leading in the infield are shortstop Derek Jeter and third baseman Alex Rodriguez. Despite being on the disabled list since June 14, Jeter has totaled 2,654,040 and is ahead of the Indians' Asdrubal Cabrera (2,242,157). A-Rod has 2,876,537 votes and leads by more than half a million over the Rangers' Adrian Beltre (2,307,380).
Curtis Granderson ranks second among the outfielders with 3,473,227 votes, followed by the Rangers' Josh Hamilton (2,400,408). Granderson has more than 1.2 million more votes than fourth-place Jacoby Ellsbury of the Red Sox for one of the three starting spots. Nick Swisher and Brett Gardner are eighth and ninth, respectively, among the outfielders.
The other position leader for the Yankees is catcher Russell Martin with 2,226,797, leading the Tigers' Alex Avila (1,730,511).
Mark Teixeira was leading early in the voting at first base but has since been passed by the Red Sox' Adrian Gonzalez, who continues to lead, 3,017,960 to 2,407,665. Jorge Posada (1,120,830) is running a distant third in the designated hitter voting behind leader David Ortiz (3,116,578) of the Red Sox and runner-up Michael Young (1,760,195) of the Rangers.
Fans may cast their votes for starters up to 25 times exclusively at MLB.com and Yankees.com – online or via their mobile devices – with the 2011 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Sprint, which offers English- and Spanish-language versions of the online ballot as well as audio CAPTCHA functionality for the visually impaired.

Tex and Grandy making like Rog and Mick
Shades of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, the Yankees have two players battling each other for the home run title. With his 31st career multi-home run game, Mark Teixeira moved into a three-way tie with teammate Curtis Granderson and Blue Jays right fielder Juan Bautista for first place in the American League homer race.
Teixeira connected from both sides of the plate Wednesday night in the Yankees' 12-4 victory over the Rangers. It marked the 11th time he has done that, tying Hall of Famer Eddie Murray and Chili Davis for the most in major-league history. Since the other two are retired, Teixeira has a good chance to take sole control of this record at some point.
That Teixeira is a contender for the home run title is no surprise. He tied the Rays' Carlos Pena for the league lead in his first year with the Yankees in 2009 with 39 and his as many as 43 one year, in 2005 for the Rangers. Bautista, of course, led the AL a year ago with 54 homers, so he is no stranger to this activity.
But Granderson? Sure, he has shown muscle at the plate in the past. He had a career-high 30 homers in his last year with the Tigers in 2009 and despite a slow start with the Yankees a year ago managed to swat 24. That Granderson is already at 21 a month before the All-Star break is simply amazing.
Tex and Grandy are on a 52-homer pace. The Yankees haven't had a player hit more than 50 homers in one year since that magical season 50 years ago when Maris slugged 61 and Mantle 54. The 1961 Yankees hit 240 home runs, which stood as the major-league record for 35 years.
With five more jacks, the 2011 Yankees have 103 in 66 games. That's a pace of 252, which would top the club record of 244 in 2009, the first season of the new Yankee Stadium.
All four Yankees infielders homered in this one, an oddity in itself and especially because two of those infielders were not Alex Rodriguez, who was the designated hitter, or Derek Jeter, who is on the disabled list. Shortstop Eduardo Nunez and third baseman Ramiro Pena joined Teixeira and second baseman Robinson Cano in the home run derby.
The Yankees have been particularly powerful against the Rangers this year with 22 home runs, including six by Granderson and four by Teixeira, in eight games. Granderson did not go deep Wednesday night, but he made an outstanding defensive play in the sixth inning by throwing out Yorvit Torrealba at the plate from center field.
It was a close game at that point, the Yankees holding a 6-4 lead. Had Torrealba been safe, it would have been a one-run game with the potential tying run on third base and Josh Hamilton up. That can get lost when the score turns into 12-4, which happens when a lot of batted balls go over the fence.
Swisher a throwback at leadoff
A lot of people seemed surprised to see Nick Swisher at the top of the lineup Wednesday night against the Rangers, even Swisher.
"I have hit everywhere else in the lineup," he said before the game. "I might as well bat first."
As I pointed out in Tuesday's blog, Swisher seemed a good option in the leadoff spot against a left-handed starter because of his .356 batting average and .438 on-base percentage from the left side. Obviously, manager Joe Girardi felt the same way. Brett Gardner will continue to lead off against righthanders while Derek Jeter is on the disabled list.
Swisher may not realize it, but if he had been around the Yankees in the 1950s he would have been a leadoff candidate for Casey Stengel. The Ol' Professor liked to use players with extra-base power at the top of the order. His favorites during those years were Hank Bauer, Bob Cerv, Gene Woodling and Tony Kubek.
In fact, when Roger Maris came to the Yankees in 1960 in a trade from the Kansas City A's that also involved Bauer, Stengel batted Maris leadoff in the first few games. When Maris started hitting balls over fences on a regular basis, Casey eventually moved him into the 3-hole where he went on to the first of two consecutive Most Valuable Player seasons.
Swisher did not lead off the game with a hit, but he reached base his next two times up with a double and a walk.
Jeter's replacement at shortstop, Eduardo Nunez, homered in the fourth inning. It was Nunez's second homer of the season. He now has as many long balls in 62 at-bats as Jeter had in 262.
The Captain will not accompany the Yankees on their trip to Chicago and Cincinnati for inter-league series against the Cubs and Reds. Jeter will go to Tampa for rehabilitation on his right calf strain. His stint on the DL means Jeter won't be able to add to his inter-league record for hits of 362. DJ is not in danger of being passed. He is 52 hits ahead of the second place guy, who just happens to be teammate Alex Rodriguez.
A-Rod showed off some fine baserunning in the fifth inning as the Yankees took a 5-4 lead. On first base after a one-out walk, Rodriguez avoided being tagged by second baseman Ian Kinsler on Robinson Cano's groundout and was able to get to second base. That made it possible for him to score on a single to left by Andruw Jones. Josh Hamilton made a strong throw to the plate, but A-Rod beat it with a good slide.
The run was the 1,799th of Rodriguez's career. It tied him with Hall of Famer Ted Williams for 16th place on the all-time list.
Tex falls to 2nd in Star voting; 5 Yanks still in lead
The Yankees' lead at all four infield positions in the American League All-Star balloting took a hit in the latest tally released Tuesday in which Mark Teixeira was overtaken at first base by the Red Sox' Adrian Gonzalez in voting for the All-Star Game July 12 at Chase Field in Phoenix.
Gonzalez, the AL leader in batting average, runs batted in, hits and total bases, jumped to 2,027,537 votes, more than 250,000 ahead of Texeira, who has 1,774,024. The Yankees still lead at the other three infield positions with Robinson Cano, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter.
Cano, whose 2,649,737 votes are the second highest overall behind only Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista (3,042,091), is running away with the balloting at second base. A-Rod's lead at third base is more than 300,000 over the Rangers' Adrian Beltre. Jeter has a 238,000-vote edge over the Indians' Asdrubal Cabrera and may be jeopardized by going on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday night because of a strained right calf.
However, despite being out of the lineup much of the past week, Russell Martin remains the leading vote-getter among catchers with 1,712,156. The Tigers' Alex Avila jumped over the Twins' Joe Mauer, who is on the disabled list, into second place with 1,093,070 votes.
Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson is still a strong second among the outfielders with 2,406,946, a lead of more than 600,000 over third-place Josh Hamilton of the Rangers. Nick Swisher is running eighth and Brett Gardner ninth in the outfield balloting.
In the designated hitter voting, Jorge Posada is running a distant third to the Red Sox' David Ortiz and the Rangers' Michael Young. Now that Jorgie is heating up, it is up to Yankees fans to get on his bandwagon, not to mention getting Tex back ahead of Gonzalez.
Fans may cast votes for starters up to 25 times at MLB.com and Yankees.com – online or via mobile device using the 2011 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Sprint up to 11:59 p.m. Thursday, June 30.
Rosters will be announced July 3 during the 2011 All-Star Game Selection Show on TBS. Fans around the world will then be able to select the final player on each team via the 2011 All-Star Game Final Vote Sponsored by Sprint.

D.C. Weather Forecast
You probably already grabbed your umbrella for today, but would you trade a wet Friday for a less humid and cooler weekend?
Today: Numerous Showers & Storms (Possibly Severe)| More Clouds than Sun
Highs: 85°-90° | Wind: S 6-12 mph
Overnight: More Showers and Storms
Lows: 68°-74° | Wind: SW 5-10 mph
Tomorrow: Lingering AM T 'Shower, Bec. Partly Cloudy & Less Humid (PM Shower SE)
Highs: 84°-88° | Wind: SW 5-10 mph
Ongoing overnight storms continue to lift through the area this morning, some of which are heavy rain producers. As the cold front crawls closer today, we will continue to have the threat for storms, some of which could contain gusty winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall. However cloud-cover will be the key, and dependent on the amount of sunshine that breaks through will help determine our afternoon severe potential.
The front will be a slow-mover with lingering thundershowers possible early Saturday, and while most of the area should clear, a lingering threat of a few showers and storms will persist through the afternoon south and east of the city. Once the front finally heads eastward Saturday night, high pressure will bring drier and more comfortable weather into the area for part two of the weekend. Sunday looks great with a partly cloudy skies, low humidity and seasonable highs in the mid-upper 80s. Enjoy this nice weather because the heat and humidity will begin to creep back Monday with another chance of storms Tuesday.

Development delays have brought the unconfirmed Microsoft 'Pink' project to the brink of failure, according to ChannelWeb. The codename is said to represent a smartphone that is being developed in conjunction with Verizon to compete against devices such as the iPhone. Unnamed sources suggest the project originally aimed to integrate technology from Windows Mobile 7. Delays with Mobile 7 have allegedly put more workload on Pink developers to find alternative technology.
David Wiener Ventures has, as part of its David Weiner Collection, introduced on Wednesday the Art.Suono. The iPod speaker dock and its transmitter are made of machined aircraft-grade aluminum and feature carbon fiber accents as well as fine detailing and finishes that gives it an industrial look. The transmitter can also accommodate a computer source, CD player, satellite radio or any other MP3 player via its auxiliary input jack. It uses 2.4GHz wireless technology to then send the signal to compatible wireless speakers, while also utilizing the Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technique for a strong, drop-out-free connection that aims to maintain signal quality.
Despite European Union members approving a reform to EU telecoms rules, the European Parliament has ordered a revision to the proposed legislation, as it believes it restricts Internet users' rights to challenge accusations of piracy, a report says on Wednesday. The state governments and lawmakers will have two months starting in September to reach a new deal or the draft reform will not pass through to become law.
Despite announcing back in December that it would stop suing individual file sharers and use ISP monitoring instead, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is still filing such lawsuits, says a Tuesday TechDirt article. Not only is it going against what it said before, but RIAA lawyers are claiming the Association never made such a statement in a letter to Congress.
The SmartQ7 Mobile Internet Device (MID) was recently unveiled and is due to go on sale in the near future in China. Sporting a 7-inch, 800x480 resolution touchscreen display, the device is meant to bring the Internet to users' laps along with other entertainment features that include digital music and video playback. The Linux-based device relies solely on a Wi-Fi connection to connect to the Internet.
(Update with official info) T-Mobile will officially put Google's Android 1.5 on G1 smartphones early next week, the company said today. In spite of having already pushed the update early to some users, T-Mobile USA hopes to have the update begin in earnest before the end of next week. The rollout will take place in phases to manage the load and will let every phone get the update by the end of May.
The all-encompassing News Corp. media company founded by Rupert Murdoch is said to be "looking at hardware" to bring the latest news and entertainment content from its many assets to users, according to a Wednesday report that is citing knowledgeable sources. Such a device would deliver content in a "user-friendly way," and though no specifics have been given to the Daily Beast about the device, Murdoch himself commented on the possibility of such a gadget last month.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday became the unusual source for a study which shows that cellphone-only homes now outnumber landline-only homes for the first time. About 20.2 percent of homes use only a handheld for calls in later 2008 versus 17.4 percent that only use a landline phone. The shift is credited mostly to a steep drop in the number of those relying only on hardwired connections, which fell from 34.4 percent in 2005. In contrast, cell-exclusive homes jumped from just 7.3 percent over the same time span.
Possibly launching the device as a response to the Kindle DZ, Sony today quietly slipped out the Danielle Steel Limited Edition of its second-generation Reader. The e-paper device comes in red with a matching cover that features the author's logo; it also comes with a store code to download Bungalow 2, Echoes and Sisters from Sony's e-book store. A message from Steel herself is also included.
Phoenix Technologies on Wednesday announced users can now download its Phoenix Freeze security solution for notebooks and netbooks, which uses Bluetooth technology to gauge the proximity of a user to a portable computer. Freeze pairs a Bluetooth-enabled cellphone with the notebook and locks the computer when the phone reaches a certain distance to prevent anyone else from accessing its files. When users come back into a pre-set range, the notebook will unlock again.
North Carolina's House of Representatives today said it has sent a controversial bill that would have restricted municipal broadband to a study committee. The move effectively shelves the bill for at least a year and comes after those opposing it put pressure on the House to reevaluate the measure, which would have banned cities from taking advantage of any Obama administration broadband stimulus money while still letting private carriers take advantage of the funds themselves. It would have also in many cases made it difficult for such services to continue.
Three new Samsung handsets are coming to wireless provider T-Mobile, according to a source that managed to snap and post these images. The source also corroborates an earlier report that had Samsung's first Android-powered device, the i7500, releasing at T-Mobile in the fall, or early in November to be more specific. The other three new handsets include the Gravity 2, an unnamed Blast replacement and another nameless handset. All are said to support 3G voice and data networks, with little other information known about the devices.
Taiwanese phone specialist HTC is collaborating with carrier T-Mobile on an Android-based netbook, a TMOToday source claims. Little is known about the computer, except that it should feature built-in 3G reception for T-Mobile's broadband network, and ship sometime before the end of the year. Such a timeframe could suggest a launch no later than early October, timed to coincide with the frequent influx of school computer sales.
Featured deals from DealNN include hard drives, printers, cameras and more. First up is the re-designed SanDisk 8GB Cruzer USB flash drive for $24.99. That's $15 off the list price of $39.99 and includes FREE shipping. The newly re-designed SanDisk Cruzer USB flash drive features a retractable USB port and is backed by a lifetime limited warranty from SanDisk.
Mobile software developer Bsquare has potentially spoiled Dell's release plans by saying it was porting Adobe's Flash Lite animation plugin for Dell netbooks running Google's Android platform. The company specifically references the Inspiron Mini 9 and suggests that the 8.9-inch portable is the likely main target for the OS. Whether Flash Lite would appear in-browser, or when Bsquare expects the port to ship on a production netbook, isn't mentioned.
Sprint has started training its non-retail staff for the Palm Pre but has maintained such high secrecy that it's firing those in stores for discussing the device, according to a leak from inside the company. Those in its Business Unit have not only been in training for the past two weeks, according to preThinking, but have been able to use the Pre at home for their own testing purposes. However, "at least three" retail staffers have been fired for talking about the phone despite many of its details being publicly (if sometimes unofficially) available.
Amazon as promised announced the Kindle DX, its extra-large version of its e-book reader. The device centers on a 9.7-inch, 824x1200 E Ink display that both provides a larger view of newspapers and other articles but is pitched as particularly well-suited for periodicals, textbooks and other large documents: a built-in accelerometer lets it tilt on its side to view charts and other information better-suited to a landscape view. Native PDF support is equally new and lets owners view many documents without having to convert them through Amazon's e-mail service.
Panasonic on Wednesday officially confirmed the price for its second Micro Four Thirds digital camera, the Lumix GH1. The official price of nearly $1,500 for a bundled kit includes a 14-140mm, f4.0-5.8 lens and matches the unofficial pricing from electronics retailers J&R, revealed just yesterday. Panasonic adds that the camera will ship early in June.
Efforts to solidify very high-speed, short-range wireless gained steam today with the creation of the WiGig Alliance (site active soon). The organization is meant to produce a common standard for sending data over a 60GHz link and to streamline developing computers, handheld devices and home theater equipment that can use the wireless link. The ultra wideband technology is fast enough to run about 10 times as quickly as an 802.11n connection -- effectively, 1Gbps -- and has the headroom to not just stream HD video but also to allow for previously impossible features like fast wireless displays and syncing entirely over the wireless connection.
Bell on Wednesday became the first Canadian carrier to say it would offer the Palm Pre. The phone is identical to the American version and has the same 3.1-inch multi-touch display, 3-megapixel camera, 3G over EVDO Revision A, GPS and Wi-Fi as the model destined for Sprint. No mention has been made as to whether the phone will include any special apps or other unique features for the carrier.
The most popular search engine in China, Baidu, is mulling sharing its ad revenue from the music search service it offers or otherwise compensating record labels. This comes after competitor Google began offering a licensed music download search earlier this year in the market. For years, Baidu drew flak for copyright infringement and linking websites that offer downloads of pirated songs, but the practice did attract a record number of users.
Virgin Media on Wednesday began an Ashford, UK trial of what it says is the fastest cable-based Internet service on Earth. Using a high-end implementation of the DOCSIS 3 cable modem standard, the carrier says it's offering 200Mbps downloads to 100 testers; the speed is faster than 160Mbps Japanese service and twice as fast as the 101Mbps Optimum Online service in the US. The bandwidth is said sustainably high enough that Virgin is testing streaming 3D and HD video online.
Dell this morning said it had added a WiMAX choice for three of its higher-end home notebooks. The Studio 15, Studio 17 and Studio XPS 16 will all have a $60 or less upgrade that offers 4G speeds on either the Clearwire or Sprint 4G networks in Atlanta, Baltimore and Portland. In peak conditions, this lets the portables connect at up to 13Mbps downstream and 3Mbps upstream. Typical speeds are still faster than 3G with downloads between 2Mbps and 4Mbps.
LaCie early today rolled out network-attached storage (NAS) versions of two of its most familiar external hard drives. The single-disk d2 Network and dual-disk Big Disk Network both get gigabit Ethernet connections that let them share their storage on a local network. They're officially compatible with Mac OS X Leopard's Time Machine backups and have built-in servers to work independently of computers, including their own BitTorrent managers, media streaming through DLNA- and UPnP-compatible devices, and iTunes hosting.
Nokia today stepped out of its usual schedule to update its entry business smartphones with the E52. The handset replaces the E51 and has the familiar, extra-slim candybar design but much longer talk time: where the E51 officially managed 4.4 hours, the E52 can run for up to 8 hours of calls on GSM and a still-long 6 hours on 3G. It also gets an upgrade to a 3.2-megapixel camera and GPS while adding the e-mail UI and Ovi service access from the E75.
GEAR4 has introduced the CDM-100, a CD micro system with dock for the iPod and FM/AM radio. The CDM-100 mixes a top-loading CD player, a universal dock for the iPod and a clock with an alarm and sleep mode. The built-in AM/FM radio provides 30 programmable preset stations, and 5 preset EQ settings such as flat, classic, rock, pop and jazz. The device also offers a line-in port for use with other music players, and a remote control.

Whitworth Teams Win Five of Nine Awards in Hogan Business-Plan Competition
Five Whitworth teams won more than half of the $42,500 total cash awards in the Gonzaga University Hogan Entrepreneurial Leadership Program Business Plan Competition, held in collaboration with Whitworth's School of Global Commerce & Management and Eastern Washington University's Center for Entrepreneurial Activities. The competition is open to graduate and undergraduate students from Whitworth, Gonzaga, EWU and Washington State University.
The Hogan business-plan competition is the largest of its kind in the Inland Northwest. This year, 44 teams submitted plans in three project categories: social-enterprise, community-based, and student-generated. Of the nine finalists selected, four teams were from Whitworth, one was a collaborative entry by two Whitworth students and a Gonzaga student, two teams were from WSU, and one team each was from Gonzaga and EWU.
"Succeeding in business depends on how well one combines knowledge and talent," says Terry Sanchez, Whitworth business-plan competition advisor and adjunct professor of management. "Business-plan competitions are real indicators of how well students can perform these tasks in a competitive environment. The success of our students in the Hogan competition is reflective of the high-quality education the School of Global Commerce & Management provides."
Whitworth's Daniel Belko, '07, and Lewis Turner, '08, took home the $7,500 Avista Social Impact Award for their first-place win in the social-enterprise category. The duo won for their business plan, Cool Water Bike Shop, a nonprofit bike shop run by and for at-risk teenagers. The proposed shop would operate in collaboration with Cup of Cool Water, an outreach ministry for homeless youth in Spokane that was founded by Whitworth alumnus Mark Terrell, '94.
Following are the four other winning Whitworth teams announced Friday, April 27, at an awards ceremony and reception at Gonzaga:
• Social-enterprise category: Dominion Trading Company, a coffee-roasting business that benefits Ethiopian coffee growers; second place, $3,500 award, Tim Coughlin, '08, and Sean Thompson, '08.
• Community-based category: Global NeTutors, Inc., provides Internet-based English-language classes designed for Asians; second place, $3,500 award, Darien Brown, '06, and Brennan McQuerry, '07 (Whitworth), and Margi Begalka (Gonzaga).
• Student-generated category: HillGhillie Corp., produces cost-effective material for camouflage clothing; second place, $5,000 Emilie Olsen, '08, and Dustin Smith, '08. Food Runner Delivery, offers food delivery from better restaurants to homes and offices; third place, $2,500 award, Mark Baker, '09.
In addition to Whitworth's success in the Hogan competition, four Whitworth teams were selected from 65 entrants to continue on to the investment round in the University of Washington Business Plan Competition. The teams are Dominion Trading Company, Global NeTutors, Inc., Spokane Memorial Gardens, and Food Runner Delivery. Winners of the UW competition will be announced May 24.
The plans submitted to the Hogan competition were judged by an independent panel of reviewers based on 10 criteria, including social return on investment, feasibility, scalability, funding, and quality of the operating and financial plans.
Faculty members from the Whitworth School of Global Commerce & Management assisted the teams by providing academic and practical insight in areas including marketing, finance, e-commerce, legal issues and patents.
Major funding for the Hogan Entrepreneurial Leadership Program Business Plan Competition was provided by the Herbert B. Jones Foundation, Telect, Itron and Avista Corp.
Located in Spokane, Wash., Whitworth is a private, liberal arts college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The college, which has an enrollment of 2,500 students, offers 53 undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

UTSA updated policy on international travel to restricted regions is now online
(Aug. 11, 2010)--The UTSA Policy on International Travel to Restricted Regions is now available online. Developed by the UTSA International Oversight Committee (IOC) in coordination with Julius Gribou, UTSA executive vice provost and senior international officer, the policy includes a restricted regions list of locations throughout the world where travel by UTSA faculty, staff and students is restricted.
The policy also details the required procedures and provides the necessary forms for any UTSA student, faculty or staff member who proposes to travel to an area on the list either to conduct university business or as part of any university-related activity.
The UTSA Restricted Regions List includes all countries with a current U.S. Department of State travel warning or alert. It also may include other identified international locations with specific health and safety concerns, which the IOC and executive vice provost deem sufficient to warrant inclusion on the list. The list will be updated as needed.
For more information, contact the Office of International Programs at 210-458-7240 or the Office of the Executive Vice Provost at 210-458-4994.

A $3 million gift from Mark and Melody Teppola will create a new visiting professorship for the College of Liberal Arts.

"I love watching the show, Cancun was amazing and I can promise you my good-bye is action packed and emotional.
"It will be a bit weird to watch Geordie Shore once I've left but I am very grateful for the opportunities the show has given me and I love all my fans."

Home Maidstone News Article
Cyclists could be propelled to the front of the queue under proposals being considered by council bosses in Maidstone.
They plan to lobby for a cycle lane to be included in moves to reshape the town's gyratory system.
The major upgrade, which has been made possible with a £15.4m grant, aims to ease congestion by creating two additional northbound lanes along the A229, allowing traffic heading towards Chatham to bypass the existing system.
Members of the council's planning, transportation and development overview and scrutiny committee have put forward additional recommendations for the project, which include provisions for cyclists to be included.
The move comes after a petition was launched by Bridge Residents Society against a decision to remove the cycle lane at St Peter's Bridge as part of the redevelopment of the Powerhub.
One of the recommendations is for the council's draft cycle strategy to be updated and for the Maidstone Cycling Forum, which folded in 2011, to be reactivated, as well as an officer in the planning department to take responsibility for cycling.
They were issued after councillors carried out a review of transport in Maidstone, including looking at alternatives to cars.
Cllr Stephen Paine (Con) put forward the suggestion that cyclists should be added into plans for the gyratory system.
He said: "It shouldn't be expensive to do these improvements at this stage of the design process, but they'll make a huge difference to cyclists heading in and out of town from West Maidstone using the A20 and A26.
"I hope the committee takes these ideas on board and helps them see the light of day by making appropriate recommendations.
"I'm really pleased this important topic is being considered, especially at this opportune time when money is available to make a real difference across the borough – but only if we seize the chance now."
Committee chairman Val Springett and her deputy Clive English have backed the recommendations, which will now go before the full committee.
If approved, they would be sent to Maidstone's cabinet member for planning and transport Cllr David Burton (Con) for consideration.

NICEVILLE – You don't have to know his name to know who Glen Lockett is.
He's the Niceville crossing guard who salutes every passing car, a holdover from his military and civil service careers.
"I salute everyone," he says, waiting in his ancient Ford truck for students to arrive at the crosswalk behind Ruckel Middle School. "I like to see them wave, you know?"
See a slideshow of Lockett on the job. >>
Lockett has been a crossing guard in Niceville for 19 years. He's been positioned all over town during that time. His ex-wife is a crossing guard. So is his fiancé.
At 81, Lockett has no plans to retire. He jokes that he doesn't like to do dishes or vacuum, two domestic chores he might be forced to do more of if he wasn't working several hours a day.
He likes seeing the kids and the motorists. Many salute him in return.
Sometimes, when he's out and about in the community shopping, folks recognize him. They'll think for a moment about where they've seen him before, then come up and say, "You're the crossing guard, aren't you? You're the one that salutes?"
Lisa Clarrey of Niceville has been appreciating Lockett's crisp greeting every day for more than a year.
"He salutes every passing car, both ways, and makes my day – twice a day," she said. "I think everybody who makes somebody smile should be acknowledged."
Editor's Note: This is the first in a series recognizing people who make a difference in their communities. To nominate someone, call Wendy Victora at 315-4478 or email email@example.com

I'm way excited for this event our church is hosting! If you can make it out and live in the area, we would love to see you there! Check it out:
Struggling with your New Year's Resolutions?
We make resolutions on New Year's Day to become better people. Our hearts are often in the right place, but somehow, our resolve doesn't quite translate into results. So why not do something different this year? Instead of making New Year's resolutions, try writing a God-directed personal growth plan for your life. Writing a personal growth plan starts with the biblical premise that God is the one who causes authentic change and lasting personal growth in our lives.
This year, let's "Resolve to Renew"! Join us at Community Gospel from 9:00am to 12:00 Noon on February 12th as Bill Allison from Cadre Ministries will help show us how to become better leaders, husbands, wives, students, and servants of Jesus Christ. This conference is $25 for singles and $35 per couple. Book is included in price. The deadline for registration is February 6th. Childcare is available.
For additional information and online registration, visit our website: www.cgccommunity.com and click on the Resolve to Renew icon at the bottom corner of the page. Or visit: http://resolvetorerenew.eventbrite.com
Missed a Sunday and would like catch-up on the sermon? Our CGC website is kept up-to-date with the latest sermons every week. Easy Link: http://www.cgccommunity.com/Sermons.html. Or, subscribe to our Podcasts at: http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/community-gospel-church/id328363923

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We pray that this time of year finds you spending much time with family and friends as well as reflecting upon the reason for celebrating this season. We know that many of you have much to be thankful for this year, and we join you in that sentiment as this has been a year that we have seen the mighty hand of God moving in our family.
2010 brought many changes to the Muck household – the most important one being the birth of our beautiful daughter, Corinne Grace. Born June 1, she weighed six pounds fifteen ounces and was 21 ½ inches long. She was born with a full head of dark brown hair and hasn't lost it! We're still not sure what color her eyes will be, as some days they're blue, brown, or even green. Being parents has taught us much about the love the Father has for us, as nothing compares to the immense love we have for her. She brings a new source of joy every day as we eagerly await each of her "firsts." She's a very good-natured baby – not fussy at all, and she loves to giggle and babble away. It's so fun to sit and just listen to her! We are very blessed to have her in our lives now.
Another big change in our lives occurred in August: Jordan took a new job in Bremen, IN. So, we bought a house in the country, and on August 4th, we packed up a u-haul, our van, and two pick-up trucks to move our small family five hours away from our home of four years in Highland, IL; however, we're very thankful and excited to be living much closer to family and to close friends now.
Jordan is the new Associate and Youth Pastor at Community Gospel Church, and he loves it! We're making new friends quickly and are both enjoying being mentored by the rest of the staff and their spouses. Jordan tells me everyday how much he feels at home here, which is certainly something to be thankful for! He's very busy, as he has more responsibilities in this position, but the youth group is already flourishing. Renaming the youth group to Velocity, the new program has been running strong since September now. It's certainly a lot of work and long hours for him, but we know God is blessing his work at the church. We're both looking forward to how God is going to continue to move in this church and in our lives while we serve with this strong family of believers.
After finishing my master's degree, having a baby, and moving, I took a break from teaching piano. It's been a lot of fun to stay at home with Corinne and watch her grow; however, I'm itching to get back to it and plan to start my studio back up in January. Please pray that God will send some students my way to teach.
Thank you for all of your prayers this past year. They've certainly been felt as we've journeyed through these many exciting and life-changing moments.
Merry Christmas!
-jordan (and Bethany)

Well, we have been in Indiana for almost a little over a month now and I have to admit, its been an incredible experience so far. Here's a few big things I love about being up north.
- Our House: Goodbye renting, hello responsibility. Home ownership is outstanding. We live on a corner lot with great neighbors (we take their two kids to church) and an even better location in proximity to the church (a little less than 5 miles. We used to live about 7 miles from the church). If you haven't had a chance to take the tour of our crib, you can see the video of our house here.
- Our Church: Community Gospel has been outstanding in so many different ways. I work with so many great people in a great location. The congregation is serious about elevating the faith but staying consistent in having a good time in the process. It's an awesome balance. I seriously love the focus on internal personal growth with the saints and a focus on external missions inside the local community and taking the gospel to the world globally.
- The Weather: Saint Louis is/was full of humidity in the summer and bitter cold winds in the winter without snow. While we have had our hot days here in the past month, it's no where near as humid. We also get lots of snow here (or so I have been told) to which I will take any day over the cold wind and ice.
There is seriously so many more great things to list and so much more to come in the future. God's going to do an amazing work here for sure. Keep you ear to the ground, you'll hear the rumble.
I promise.

The following is taken from my good friend, Jonathan Eckberg's new blog. Go over there after reading and give him some love.
"I was extremely excited to get my hands on the final mixes of the new Until We're Kings worship EP, "Heirs" yesterday. It's been a four month process from the start of recording to where we are now.
For those who are not familiar with Until We're Kings (which is 99.9% of you), here's a little background: It's a worship project I was fortunate to be a part of with my buddy Jordan Muck, who is the Associate/Youth Pastor at Community Gospel Church in Bremen, IN. Jordan and I had a few songs laying around and we worked up a couple new ones together and decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and throw them down for posterity-sake. Jordan called in his college roommate Justin Long, who now works out of Washington, D.C., to come to southern Illinois for a week in late March to produce the songs for us. We then enlisted the help of Cory Done to play percussion. Cory played with us on the worship team at Highland Community Church, so he was an easy pick (the dude is a fantastic musician, he's like a machine on the drums). On top of that we convinced Jordan's wife, Bethany, to help us out by laying down some vocals, which was crazy impressive as she was like 6+ months pregnant at the time. Once the songs got back to DC we got even more vocal help from Anna Long and Jessica Long.
We spent a solid week doing basic tracking and vocals. Then Justin took the tracks back to the Powder Mill (his studio in DC) and cleaned them up by adding some more piano/synth/bass/vocal/etc. parts to the songs. That was followed by Justin and I passing tracks back and forth over the internet for me to put some finishing touches on some guitars, piano, and vocal tracks at Papa's Place Studio (Erie, IL). Now he has finished with the mixing process.
Next step for us is to have the mastering done by Mike Kalajian (30/30 Club Studio) and the actual production of the disc and we should be ready to roll this puppy out. Our goal is to have the physical copies of this 6-song EP ready for sale by October 1, with digital copies available on iTunes soon after."
UPDATE: The physical disc should be for sale at this years youth leadership camp in Converse, IN where Jonathan will be leading worship and I will be speaking. Keep your ear to the ground for more information on the release.
We're excited!

Coup in Honduras: See full Democracy Now! coverage
Check out all of our coverage of the first coup d'etat in Central America in more than a quarter-century.
"Undo the Coup." By Amy Goodman
The first coup d'etat in Central America in more than a quarter-century occurred last Sunday in Honduras. It was led by a graduate of the U.S. Army's School of the Americas, a military facility that has trained some of Latin America's worst torturers, murderers and human rights abusers.
"Free Speech vs. Surveillance in the Digital Age." By Amy Goodman
Tools of mass communication that were once the province of governments and corporations now fit in your pocket. As these technologies have developed, so too has the ability to monitor, filter, censor and block them.
EPA Declares Public Health Emergency in Libby, Montana
The Environmental Protection Agency has declared a public health emergency in the town of Libby, Montana, where hundreds of people have died from asbestos contamination. It is the first time such a declaration has been made by the EPA. For decades, W.R. Grace and Co. mined asbestos-contaminated vermiculite in Libby.

"Congre$$, Heal Thyself." By Amy Goodman
As the Obama administration pushes for a vote on health-care reform before Congress recesses in August, has health-industry money too thoroughly polluted the process for anything good to come of it?
"The Free Market's Marked Men: From the Niger Delta to the Amazon." By Amy Goodman
Ken Saro-Wiwa and Alberto Pizango never met, but they are united by a passion for the preservation of their people and their land, and by the fervor with which they were targeted by their respective governments.
"Dr. George Tiller Didn't Have to Die"
Dr. Tiller was assassinated while in church in Wichita, Kan., on Sunday, targeted for legally performing abortions. His death might have been prevented simply through enforcement of existing laws.
"Chevron, Shell and the True Cost of Oil"
Profits are higher than ever at oil companies Chevron and Shell. Yet across the globe, from the Ecuadorian jungle, to the Niger Delta in Nigeria, to the courtrooms and streets of New York and San Ramon, Calif., people are fighting back against the world's oil giants.
Juan Gonzalez's column: "Day of pride for Latinos as Obama nominates Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court"
"All across the nation, Latinos were ecstatic after learning that President Obama had named federal Court of Appeals Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Senate approval would make her the first Hispanic to serve on the high court."
"Yoo's Views Make Philly News"
The Philadelphia Inquirer, one of that city's two major daily newspapers, is in the news itself these days after hiring controversial former Bush administration lawyer John Yoo as a monthly columnist.
"Baucus' Raucous Caucus"
At a committee hearing with 15 industry speakers, not one represented the single-payer perspective. A group of single-payer advocates, including doctors and lawyers, filled the hearing room and, one by one, interrupted the proceedings.
Olberman/MSNBC coverage of study of Colbert Report, that used Amy Goodman's appearance on Colbert
Keith Olberman reported on May 1, 2009 on an academic study published by researchers from The Ohio State University, entitled "The Irony of Satire: Political Ideology and the Motivation to See What You Want to See in The Colbert Report." The study looked at The Colbert Report, the popular "fake news" program, by asking people to view the Colbert segment from Oct. 5, 2006, when Colbert interviewed Amy about her book, Static.
"Pete Seeger Carries Us On"
It was some garden party. Eighteen-thousand people packed into Madison Square Garden Sunday night to celebrate the first 90 years of Pete Seeger's life.
"Disclosure of 'Secrets' in the '70s Didn't Destroy the Nation"
Back in the Watergate era, the Church Committee documented and exposed extraordinary abuses by the government. Of course some people tried to block its work—Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. Sound familiar? We confront a similar challenge today.

"Torturers Should Be Punished"
The door to justice is open just a crack. After the release of four Bush-era Office of Legal Counsel memos that authorized "harsh interrogation techniques," President Obama said there should be no prosecutions. Though he may occupy the most powerful office on Earth, there is a force more powerful: committed people demanding change. Torturers should be punished.

Load-bearing oven...
Anyone have a rough idea of how much weight a small dome oven would be able to support?
Re: Load-bearing oven...
1 Attachment(s)
I would not try to support much more than its own weight plus insulation unless it is banded. This means a tension ring of some sort (reinforced concrete, iron band) to take the outward force at the dome bottom.
If using reinforced concrete, this can be about 2 inches thick by about 6 inches high and can be outside of your vermiculete insulation layer. The reinforcing could be something like two layers of 6x6 WWF (welded wire fabric) which must "communicate" continuously around the circumference and pass either under or over (or both) at your door opening. See photo. I figure I could probably carry 800 to 900 lbs (static load) on my oven.
