LONDON: With the whiff of a fifth Wimbledon singles title in the air, grasscourt predator Serena Williams cut down defending champion Petra Kvitova to move ominously into the semi-finals on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old American, who still looks unstoppable when in full flow on a grasscourt, wheeled out the heavy artillery to crack down 13 aces in a 6-3 7-5 victory that significantly raised the bar in a disappointing women's tournament.
Fourth seeded Czech Kvitova, who boasts some lethal weaponry of her own, fought fire with fire to stay in contention but was eventually de-throned in a high-quality clash which marked Williams' first taste of life under the Centre Court roof.
"You can't play a defending Wimbledon champion or grand slam champion and not elevate your game," Williams told reporters.
"I had to weed out the riff raff and just get serious."
She could face another one in the semis if Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka beats Austria's Tamira Paszek.
Azarenka can take top spot in the rankings this week, as can Pole Agnieszka Radwanska who was up against Maria Kirilenko.
The men's draw finally got back on track as the five fourth round matches were completed 24 hours later than scheduled despite the best efforts of a non-existent British summer.
For a change it was all rather tame for home favourite Andy Murray who dispensed with the theatrics to ease past Marin Cilic into the quarter-finals for a fifth straight year.
On the day the women's last eight normally take centre stage at the grasscourt grand slam, Murray returned at midday to finish off Croatian Cilic 7-5 6-2 6-3 to fuel hopes of a first home men's winner at the championships since 1936.
The fourth seed was again held up by rain for a while but took advantage of a bright slot in the murky skies to dispatch Cilic with a minimum of fuss.
Murray will face Spain's David Ferrer in the quarter-finals in a repeat of their Roland Garros clash after the seventh seed thrashed Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro 6-3 6-2 6-3.
Florian Mayer and Philipp Kohlschreiber continued Germany's impressive showing at the tournament as they both reached the quarter-finals - matching the feat of Sabine Lisicki and Angelique Kerber who were playing each other later.
Mayer finished off Frenchman Richard Gasquet 6-3 6-1 3-6 6-2 and will face defending champion Novak Djokovic on Wednesday, while Kohlschreiber ended the run of American qualifier Brian Baker to reach his first grand slam quarter-final in which he will play French showman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Tsonga was the last player through, reeling in American Mardy Fish to win 4-6 7-6 6-4 6-4 in a stop-start tussle.
With nine of the past 12 women's singles titles going to either Serena Williams or sister Venus, the scratching of another name on the trophy, as Kvitova did last year, is regarded as a personal affront by the siblings.
While the regular WTA tournaments no longer fire Serena's engines, she comes alive at the business end of Wimbledon and after some patchy performances she is now favourite to reclaim family honour on Saturday.
One point said it all about her warrior instinct.
After saving a set point at 4-5 in the second set, she then drew level at 5-5 with a point of raw brutality.
With Kvitova stranded at the net, Serena had open water either side of the Czech but elected instead to belt the ball straight at her opponent. Amazingly Kvitova got it back but the American swatted away the loose ball.
Two games later it was all over - Serena letting out a roar that nearly took the roof off Centre Court.
Murray put his body and his fans through the mangle in his previous match against Marcos Baghdatis - a bruising, nerve-shredding encounter that ended at gone 11pm local time.
On that occasion a manic Murray played the last few games on fast forward as he raced to squeeze out a victory before the All England Club's cut-off time for night play.
Against Cilic, both on Monday when he established a healthy lead, and on the resumption on Tuesday on Court One he was unflappable, booming down aces and striking the ball sweetly.
His only concern were the menacing rain clouds that threatened to clutter his schedule but even they held off to allow the fourth seed to reach the quarter-finals at Wimbledon for the fifth year in a row.
With his Wimbledon nemesis Rafa Nadal already re-charging his batteries in Mallorca after a shock exit, Murray's path to the final is opening up but the Scot batted away suggestions that Ferrer, the less celebrated Spaniard, would be any less formidable away from his native claycourts.
"To me he's not a claycourt specialist," Murray, outplayed by Ferrer on the French Open dirt, told reporters. "He won last week on grass, so he's won eight matches in a row on the grass."
Ferrer produced arguably the performance of the tournament to punish Del Potro - overcoming a huge height disadvantage with a jet-heeled display of relentless consistency that offered up only eight unforced errors.
The 30-year-old, who seems to be improving with age, has reached the quarter-finals here for the first time, becoming the sixth Spaniard to do so in the professional era.

A Grassroots' Perspective On The Pipeline
By Michelle Cyr-Whiting
Friday, August 13, 2010 04:00 AM, opinion250.com
Prince George, B.C.- As pre-hearings begin into Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline Project, a B.C. filmmaker is doing his own labour-intensive survey of grassroots' sentiment on the proposal.
A joint review panel, involving the National Energy Board and Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, held its first public hearing on the proposed $5.5-billion dollar pipeline in Whitecourt, Alberta on Tuesday. A hearing is set for Kitimat on August 31st, and in Prince George on September 8th.
North Vancouver filmmaker, Frank Wolf, began his journey back on July 10th. His goal: to travel the entire route of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline by self-propulsion. Wolf and his friend, Todd McGowan (a teacher), have been walking, hiking, biking -- and will soon add rafting and kayaking to their list -- as close as possible to the GPS track of the line.
The pair actually began their journey biking through the barren tar sands in Fort McMurray and will end 1800-kilometres away in the tiny First Nation community of Hartley Bay in the mouth of the Douglas Channel. Wolf says the start point obviously signals where all oil production emanates from in Alberta, and Hartley Bay signals where the loaded oil tankers could one day move out to sea.
Wolf has entitled his film, "On The Line", and, for him, it combines his passion for adventure with his desire to get to the heart of a very contentious issue. "Often in these environmental issues, you have one side screaming at the other," he says.
"You get the spin from Enbridge and you get the spin from the big environmental organizations and when they're on the air, you know exactly what they're going to say," Wolf continues. "But if you have people living there and directly affected by it, they give you a more honest opinion. And that's how I think you're getting more of a real view of what's really at stake here and that's what the film's going to try and bring forth."
Wolf and McGowan have veered away from the direct route to talk to a whole host of individuals -- all with a stake 'on the line':
• a young worker in the oil patch torn between his high paying career and his fear of seeing a repeat of what's happened in the Gulf of Mexico, happen in the wilderness of B.C.
• a farming family in Fort Saskatchewan with opinions divided along generational lines: the father in favour of all industry growth, the daughter seeing how the ever-expanding oil industry is encroaching on Alberta's pastoral lands
• a long-time cab driver in Grande Prairie who says he's never seen any long-term benefits to communities along pipeline routes...he says there's an initial boom that fades out
And, after hiking a treacherous, but spectacular stretch from Tumbler Ridge through the Rockies, the pair made a Prince George connection. Todd McGowan says, "As soon as we came out of the Rocky Pass -- it was a really tough hike getting through there -- a father and son from PG were on their way fishing and they pulled over at about 11:30 in the morning and handed us a couple of beers out the window."
Wolf says an interesting chat ensued, revealing the man has spent his whole career involved in the industry: first, as a mechanical engineer; now, he works for the National Research Council, looking into industry projects in northern B.C.. Wolf says the man told them that a few years ago, he would have said, "Hammer the pipeline through and put oil rigs in the Hecate Strait", but since the BP spill in the Gulf and Enbridge's spill in Michigan, he's completely opposed to any pipeline going through B.C.'s most pristine areas.
McGowan says he came to a similar conclusion while trekking through the seemingly untouched watershed up in the Rocky Mountain pass. He says if the pipeline burst in that area, it would be close to impossible to get in to repair it, especially in any kind of timely fashion. Wolf points out that watershed feeds numerous rivers running down both the east and west sides of the Rockies.
The two men arrived in Prince George on Wednesday and met with members of the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council and a community group speaking out against the pipeline. Wolf says the message from all First Nations he's spoken with is simple: they are staunchly opposed to the pipeline because it poses too great a risk to their traditional fishing and hunting lands. Wolf says the Carrier Sekani have been saying no to Enbridge since an earlier proposal in 2006 and, he says, the band made it clear to him that if the government approves the project, that will just be the beginning of the battle, as they will seek out legal, political and international support to stop it.
It's opinions such as these, that Wolf says are, "the truest barometer of what's going on with this issue." The filmmaker and his friend packed up their gear yesterday and headed out on the next leg of their journey, biking to Houston. (Their mountain bikes, they point out, generously loaned to them from local shop, Koops Bikes) From there, they'll hike over the Coast Mountains to the Kitimat River, paddle down on river rafts to Kitimat, and kayak on to Hartley Bay. They expect to wrap up their epic adventure by early September. (For updates on their trek, go to http://pipeline-walk.blogspot.com/
Wolf hopes to have his film complete by late December or early January and says his first priority is to have it shown in communities along the route "where it matters most", before trying to get it into the film festival circuit.

Hello there, Winter Blues. Anyone else feeling a little tired of the cold? Winter is here for a while longer (the official countdown is 58 days until spring), and I'm already looking to mix up my standard boots-and-a-sweater uniform. So what's a girl to do when she needs to stay warm and stylish? Faux fur.
Modern faux fur is super lux and way more realistic than its 80's counterparts. And talk about cozy- I rely on my faux fur vest to keep me toasty several times a week!
So how can you work the faux fur trend? Towne East Square has several places for you to score faux fur.
1. Short faux fur looped scarf (Express)
2. Vince Camuto faux calf hair jacket (Dillard's)
3. Hooded faux fur vest (Aeropostale)
4. Oxblood faux fur vest (American Eagle)
5. Faux fur keyhole scarf (VonMaur)
If you just want to test drive the faux fur trend, a scarf or snood is good place to start. You can find 'em everywhere right now, but I really love this leopard print scarf (1) from Express and this longer keyhole scarf (5) from VonMaur. So easy- just slip one on with a lightweight sweater or a long-sleeved t-shirt and you're ready to go.
For those wanting to take the trend a bit further, consider a faux fur vest or jacket. This cream version (3) from Aeropostale has a casual vibe; I see it with leggings, tall boots, and a turtleneck. Jackets are this girl's best friend; I love this sporty faux calf hair jacket from Dillard's. And your faux fur doesn't have to be black or white- a burgundy vest will go a long way in your wardrobe, I promise. I love this gorgeous piece (4) from American Eagle because you can dress it up or down. With a little black dress and heels, or with jeans and tee as shown in the collage above.
Did you miss the last Trend installment? You can find it right here; we covered the huge plaid trend.
Happy shopping!
You can pick up the products featured above at Express, Dillard's, American Eagle, and VonMaur.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
620LM: The Core i7-620LM is a fast low voltage dual core processor (25W TDP including graphics) with a clock rate of 2.0-2.8 GHZ (Turbo Boost). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics with 266-566 MHz) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
12.1": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Most netbooks have a tinier display. The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
3.3 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.
Getac: Getac was founded in 1989 by MiTAC Technology Corporation and GE Aerospace as a joint venture, and focussed in rugged mobile computing computers. Getac provides fully rugged notebooks, tablet PCs and handhelds for military, law enforcement, public safety, utilities, telecommunication, manufacturing, field service and mobile workforce industries.
75%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.

Fryer no longer with KTRK after failure to reach deal
Departure ends a 26-year career with the station
MIKE MCDANIEL, Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle | June 9, 2006
It's official: Shara Fryer and KTRK (Channel 13) have parted company after failing to agree on a new deal.
Fryer's departure closes an award-winning 26-year career with KTRK, 18 as co-anchor of first the 6 p.m. and later the 10 p.m. news.
Her tenure included interviews with such notables as Lady Bird Johnson, Barbara Jordan, Margaret Thatcher, the Shah of Iran and the Dalai Lama.
Fryer could not be reached, and Channel 13 general manager Henry Florsheim was not available for comment.
Fryer released a statement thanking Houstonians for their loyalty during her long run and for their compassion as she went through cancer treatment.
"My goodbye is bittersweet in that I'm leaving co-workers and viewers who've become family to me," she said.
"I look forward to discovering new opportunities for making personal and professional contributions and finding fulfillment."

We're dealing here with an individual for whom too much is not enough, and wretched excess is barely adequate-a state of mind that yours truly can and does relate to. For O'Bryan, that meant having the just-a-few-months-old, Millenium Yellow Z06 repainted-after adding Breathless Performance's non-popup (C5-R-style) headlight conversion, PIAA driving lights, red and clear "export" taillights, plus LAPD's clear rear sidemarker lights and clear lens backing light panel. Jason Pecikonis, at a shop called Paintin Place in Thousand Oaks, California, got the nod to squirt the new tones on the Z06. Tim selected a '00 Mazda color called Canyon Copper Metallic, then Jason and the gang at Paintin Place squirted all the panels individually, off of the car. For a C5-R racer look, Tim had the tail end of the rear valance painted matte black.
While the car was being reassembled in its new copper coat, Tim made a few select upgrades inside, installing an Auto Meter shift light, B&M Ripper short-throw shifter, and a take-no-prisoners stereo system comprised of a Panasonic 9000 N head unit, PPI amps, plus Boston and Kicker speakers.
As we write this, O'Bryan's Z06 has been together for all of about three months, and it appears as though he's ready to stop and savor the pleasures of this distinctive C5. Now, that's not to say that he's gone soft on us. "This car meets my every expectation, but a set of twin turbos would be nice. You gotta have power. There's nothing like the shock value of blowing someone out of the water who doesn't expect it."
A local, and mercifully anonymous, Viper owner can attest to that. "I got into a race on a local freeway with a Viper GTS and absolutely walked away from it. We both got off at the same offramp, and the guy in the Viper hollered over to me, 'Pretty good for a Chevy.' He definitely didn't expect it!"
Kind of appropriate...a venomous Corvette, a Copperhead, putting the bite on a Viper.

[1]A man has invented a machine to separate the two halves of an Oreo cookie.
Mondelez (NASDAQ:MDLZ[2]) is promoting Davdi Neevel — described as a physicist and copywriter — in the first of its social media-oriented "Cookie vs. Creme" campaign, reports ABC News[3].
The video shows Neevel in his workshop with the machine. In it the machine — made out of aluminum scraps, wire, wood and a motor — uses a hatchet to separate the two cookie halves and then a router to abrade the crème that remains on the cookies.
Neeval calls his machine the "OSM." He says it's just an acronym without any special added meaning. He has suggested a few slogans such as "Let's get that crème out of there," and "This creme's no good; get it off the cookies."

WASHINGTON (AP) – Even the scoreboards in high school gyms will have to advertise only healthy foods under new rules announced Tuesday by the Obama administration.
Promotion of sugary drinks and junk foods around campuses during the school day will be phased out under the rules, intended to ensure that such marketing is brought in line with health standards that already apply to school foods.
NEW YORK (AP) – As criticism of sugary sodas intensifies, Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper are rolling out new vending machines that will put calorie counts right at your fingertips.
The move comes ahead of a regulation that would require restaurant chains and vending machines to post the information as early as next year, although the specifics for complying with the requirement are still being worked out.
NEW YORK (AP) – Dudes don't drink diet.
Or at least that's the idea behind Dr Pepper Ten, a 10-calorie soft drink Dr Pepper Snapple Group is rolling out on Monday with a macho ad campaign that proclaims "It's not for women." The soft drink was developed after the company's research found that men shy away from diet drinks that aren't perceived as "manly" enough.

The Ballad of Jane Honda: A vintage rebuild

Awesome project Randi! Looking forward to following your rebuild!
IMHO the CL350 will make a great first bike! Not only will you become intimately familiar with it's mechanicals and workings by the time you are done fixin' Jane up, which is invaluable, but the CB/CL350s are a just a flat-out fun bike to ride. They are plenty forgiving for the beginning rider (keeping in mind of course that it's a 40 year old motorcycle), but are still plenty exciting when you gain more experience.
My first "real" bike was a '70 CL350 bought as a parts bike when I was just getting into motorcycles as well. Fixing it up to the point of being able to ride it was a fantastic learning experience, and one that I wouldn't trade for the world. Once it was running and riding, thumbing the starter-button, shifting into gear and letting out the clutch for the first time was something that I'll never forget, it was that awesome!
For cleaning chrome, a trick I learned from a buddy years ago that's worked fantastic for me is white vinegar and a fine brass-brush. For some reason, the acid in the vinegar and the gentle action of the brass brush really cleans up nasty chrome nicely while not putting new scratches onto it.
As OC said, the Evapo-rust is truly "the nectar of the god's" for removing rust! BTW, the cheapest place I've found it is at Pep Boys.

Melinda Johnson, author of Letters to St. Lydia, has been running a terrific series entitled Orthodox Writers, Illustrators and Readers and she asked me to write a post about my writing life. [Read more…]
i heart my {christmas binder}
this morning i added another favorite recipe to my christmas binder. this binder is literally my saving grace at christmastime and i can't believe it's taken me this long to post about it.
i started it the second year i was married when i realized that in just two short years i had accumulated more christmas magazines and recipes than one desk could hold. so i started tearing out my favorite decorating ideas, recipes, craft projects, etc. and i put them in page protectors and placed them in a binder.
i punched holes in an extra christmas card envelope and wrote "random holiday memories" on it and every year i write, on any little slip of paper, whatever holiday happenings i want to make sure i never forget. like our first christmas as a married couple, when we spent the night in a hotel room because our house wasn't ready yet. we bought a tiny little tabletop tree and decorated it. our gifts to eachother (one each) were carefully wrapped and placed underneath it, waiting for us to wake up and open them on our very first christmas together. or the time ace decorated the tree for the first time and all the bulbs were in one spot on the bottom of the tree. or the year lucky sat behind the tree and ate almost every candy cane off before i noticed he was missing.
once we started having children, i began keeping a copy of each year's christmas card inside too. it's so much fun to see how much they change from year to year.
i also print out photographs of the boys during the holidays. opening gifts, leaving milk and cookies out for st. nicholas or helping me with some of the recipes inside (i place the picture next to the recipe). it's become sort of like a holiday scrapbook.
the next year, i realized it would be even more convenient if i kept my ever-growing christmas card list in there too. then i photocopied the family recipes i use every year and added them. before i knew it, i had almost everything i needed in one place and it was so easy to just grab the binder and look for what i needed.
then last year, on one of my favorite blogs, marta mentioned her christmas binder and she had hers organized into sections with tabs. i thought that was a great idea. so i added tabs too.
every year, my binder becomes more and more resourceful to me during the holidays. i know exactly where all of my favorite recipes are, i have a ton of fun craft ideas for the boys, and i can look back and remember all the blessings of christmas past.
Excellent Sermons by Fr. George Passias
I have mentioned the sermons of Fr. George Passias before on this blog, specifically the series on The Life of the Theotokos. I was recently emailed an excellent site where many of his sermons (some only a few minutes, others hours long) are posted.
I highly encourage you to check some of them out. There is a 3 minute one entitled, "How do you know it's Christmas?" that is great.
A few favorites…

BCS commissioners settle on plan for playoff
Scott has pushed for conference champions to be given preference for the playoff, but said he was comfortable that a committee would emphasize that and strength of schedule. He stopped short of saying the committee was part of the proposed plan.
"My position has evolved on that," Scott said about the selection committee. "There's a positive impression about the role that the basketball committee has played for basketball, and I think there's been a consensus that the current (football) system is pretty flawed in a lot of ways."
The 12-member BCS Presidential Oversight Committee meets Tuesday in Washington. The commissioners and Swarbrick all stressed that ultimately the decision lies with the presidents. And that they will have more than just one model to talk about at their meeting.
The Big Ten and Pac-12 presidents have both expressed support for the so-called plus-one model, which gives the BCS a new look by selecting the championship game participants after the bowls are played instead of creating a pair of national semifinals.
"I'm comfortable both of those will still be discussed at the president's meeting," Delany said.
Discussed, yes. But unless something unexpected happens in Washington, a playoff will take another step to becoming a reality.

On Monday, February 25, 2013, we published a back page story in which we highlighted a distressed call by an ailing man.
Mr. Peter Dehdyugar, 44, a resident of the Gorzohn Community in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, we reported, is seriously suffering from a mysterious growth beneath his left ear that is spread to his neck, a situation that is increasingly becoming unbearable for him.
Mr. Dehdyugar, who was quoted by a press release, lamented that he is dying slowly because he does not have money to seek medical treatment.
The victim, further quoted by the press release, cried that he barely eats because of the growth and needs not less than US$650 to remove it.
He recalled that his appalling situation started since 2004 when he developed a loop in his left jaw.
In consideration of his terrible condition, we also call on all health related organizations, humanitarian institutions, the Bassa Legislative Caucus, the Liberian Government, the United Nations and all multinational organizations as well as philanthropic groups to help him seek medical attention as early as possible.
Judging from Mr. Dehdyugar's present health condition, which is depicted by a photograph, the growth could claim his precious life if he does not seek medical attention urgently. Truthfully, Mr. Dehdyugar is dying slowly and needs urgent medical attention so as to bring relief to him.
It is our ardent hope that our call will be heeded and in a timely manner. Please help save the life of Mr. Dehdyugar.

Recycling of mobile phones highlighted during special week
24 June 2010 — 7:03 PM
The recycling of mobile phones is a topic that will be on the lips of many Britons currently, as the country celebrates Recycle Week.
Running from June 21st to 27th, the event aims to highlight the importance of being good to the environment and what can be achieved through reusing materials.
One item that is ideal for recycling is a mobile phone, with the disposal of Nokia, Samsung and LG devices in a safe way far better for the planet than abandoning them in a drawer or cupboard.
Organisers of the week have even launched a website detailing many of the ways that people can get recycling.
Those who choose to follow it may wish to sell their mobile to Envirofone for cash, which would both help the environment and give them funds towards their next purchase.
One handset that many may currently require money for is the iPhone 4, which was launched in the UK today (June 24th).

Super-slick, superfast
I think I first saw it when the guy across from me on the train was reading the Metro. And I was intrigued. Just what is going on there? Is that really Usain Bolt impersonating Richard Branson?!
Now I've been surrounded by it – it's everywhere. As yet, I'm not annoyed with it because I'm always seeing it in a new context (instead of the same thing over and over again). In fact, I'm actually interested to see where they'll take it next.
What a great way to get the message across. I think what they've done is just marvellous – it's simple, it's clear, it's clever, it's engaging, it's entertaining. All without being too smug. They're ticking all of the boxes – a great chance of being seen, an excellent link to the brand and an easy to understand (and motivating) message. Get in, Virgin Media!
They have also done a smashing job of identifying both of the people in the ad. This is a frequent failing of ads using celebrities. I might not have recognised Usain Bolt had he not been identified, and they've identified the Richard Branson impersonation for me as well. Instead of being confused for the entire time I spend looking at the ads, I am able to get the joke and the link immediately. Recently, I've see other ads that don't do this, and I think to myself 'who the heck is that? Am I supposed to know?' This is all the more true the closer the Olympics move to us. Just because it's an Olympic year does not suddenly make me an expert in athletics, gymnastics or swimming (among others).
So, my advice to anyone else using the Olympics and Olympic athletes in their advertising in the run up to 2012: The content and context must make sense and be relevant. And, if you're going to use specific athletes in your ad, make sure you identify them. Otherwise, you may be wasting your efforts.

Long time Blue Jays broadcaster Tom Cheek has been named the 2013 Ford C. Frick Award for Broadcasting Excellence. Tom will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. on July 27, 2013.
Tom Cheek was the voice of summer for generations of baseball fans in Canada and beyond. He helped a nation understand the elements of the game and swoon for the summer excitement that the expansion franchise brought a hockey-crazed nation starting in the late 1970s. He then authored the vocal narrative of a team that evolved into one of the most consistent clubs of the 1980s and 1990s. We are thrilled to celebrate Tom's legacy with baseball broadcasting's highest honor." – Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson
Tom was the voice of the Blue Jays and called the first 4,306 regular season games, as well as the first 41 playoff games in team history. Please check out the official press release from the Baseball Hall of Fame to learn more about one of the greatest broadcasters in baseball history, Tom Cheek!

'Glee' boss Ryan Murphy: Are we getting the whole story?
Executive producers and TV showrunners are generally tight-lipped about future storylines. Of course, it's an understandable policy to keep most things under wraps to avoid spoiling the fun for viewers.
"Glee" head honcho Ryan Murphy seems to have a different way of keeping his secrets, though. As opposed to dropping the old "no comment," Murphy has developed a bit of a reputation for ... well, misleading the press -- and, in turn, the fans.
When it was reported recently that "Glee" would be doing a Justin Bieber-centric episode this spring, Murphy was quick to refute the claims. "Glee is not doing a Justin Bieber tribute episode. We are not doing any more of those this season," he said. "We are doing an episode where Sam sings a JB song to win Quinn back, and copies his hairstyle. But it's a small part of a big episode."
Despite Murphy's statement, insiders say that Bieber's presence in the episode is more than Murphy lets on. Deadline says that three Bieber songs are featured, and producer Brad Falchuk tells Zap2it that after Sam sings a Bieber song to Quinn, "A lot of the other guys are sort of impressed by that, so they want to get involved."
So while it may not be a tribute episode per-se, Murphy's claim that only one Bieber song is used may also be misleading.
It's not the first time the media has been "confused" by Murphy's statements. In July, Murphy told the press that he had plans to keep Rachel and Finn together as a couple for most of Season 2.
"Rachel and Finn kind of broke up twice," he said. "Let's keep them together, these two very different people, and let's really see how -- in an entire season, with no breakups -- what does that couple look like at the end of that season?"
Of course, Rachel and Finn broke up in the first half of Season 2, disappointing hopeful fans of the couple. We're sure Murphy didn't have pans for the entire season locked down when he spoke up in July, but it's a good example of a time when saying too little may have been preferable to saying too much.
The bottom line is, pretty much, not to believe anything about "Glee" until it happens on your screen on Tuesday nights. We should have learned our lesson when reports leaked that Kurt's new boyfriend would be a "big blond quarterback" as Jane Lynch put it. The big blond quarterback (Sam) turned out to be a bit of a gay herring, if you will. It's possible that he was initially cast to be Kurt's love interest, but thus far, he's decidedly straight.
If Murphy is skewing rumors to keep things surprising for the audience, it's well within his rights as the boss of the show.
Of course, it's also within our rights as fans to take things with a grain of salt. Color us skeptical, Mr. Murphy.

Advance 35LP PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter Designed for Femoral, Iliac, Renal Arteries
Cook Medical's Advance 35LP dilatation catheter is intended for use in patients with lesions in the femoral, iliac and renal arteries.
The Advance line comprises three low-profile balloons (14LP, 18LP, 35LP) that range in size and composition to treat lesions in the peripheral arteries as well as obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulas. The Advance 35LP balloon, compatible with a .035-inch wire guide, is designed to address common above-the-knee blockages. The Advance 18LP, compatible with a .018-inch wire guide, is geared toward the femoral artery and popliteal region of the leg. The Advance 14LP, compatible with a .014-inch wire guide, is reserved for treatment of the most tortuous anatomies of the lower leg, including the popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries.
Each balloon features a low crossing profile and small-sheath compatibility, which helps reduce the need for an invasive arterial entry and may shorten patient recovery time.

MILTON — The Santa Rosa County Tourist Development Council will contribute $200,000 to help build what has turned out to be the somewhat controversial equestrian center in East Milton.
The covered arena, planned for county-owned property at the intersection of U.S. Highway 90 and Bobby Brown Road, has been in the works for years. County Commissioner Bob Cole has been setting aside money to build the arena from his District 2 recreation funds since he took office, and had saved more than $1 million of the estimated $1.2 million needed.
Commissioners earlier this month delayed voting on whether to approve the project until early next year so the developers can present more information to the board.
"Never have I in the 10 years I've been on the board of county commissioners seen a county commissioner get questioned this much about a project in his district with the funds he represents in his district," Cole said. "It's been well vetted and it's a project we want in District 2."
The equestrian center will feature a 200-foot by 300-foot covered pavilion, a judges' booth and meeting room, and restrooms.
The TDC voted unanimously Wednesday to contribute the $200,000 if the County Commission approves it.
"I was just totally amazed at how much time, energy and effort and how long this has been going on," said Dorothy Slye, a member of the TDC and manager of the Navarre Beach fishing pier. "You have such a committed group. I think it would be like a slap in the face to these folks who have volunteered their time to put this together and not support it."
Kyle Holley, a TDC member and one of the developers of the equestrian center, said the project is needed. Although it's been called an equestrian center, the arena is designed to be used for a variety of events, including concerts, rodeos and other programs.
"Some people will say, 'Well, that's an equestrian center.' Some people will say, 'That's a covered arena.' Some people will say 'That's the agriplex,' " Holley said. "What's very interesting to me about all of that is that all of those things are true depending on your frame of reference. If you have a horse, you might look at that picture and say that's a small equestrian center. If you don't have a horse, you might look at it and say that's a big covered building from which I can do an event. If you are an ag-minded person like a master gardener, you would look at this picture and say that's an agricultural complex.
"I think that is evidence of the multiple uses. It's more than one thing to more than one type of person."
Holley abstained from voting on the funding because of his involvement in the project.
County Commissioners are expected to discuss and possibly vote on the equestrian center at their meeting Jan. 22.

Sony has announced plans to release a new revision of its PlayStation Vita hardware to the Japanese market next month, as part of its pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference.
The new model will reportedly be 20 percent thinner and 15 percent lighter, will include 1GB of built-in memory, and will provide an additional hour of battery life--for a total run time of six hours of use. The new model appears to abandon the previous model's OLED screen in favour of a 5-inch LCD.
The new model (PCH-2000) will be available in six colours: pink, white, brown, light blue, black, and yellow. Sony also announced plans to drop its proprietary PS Vita charger, moving to a more common micro-USB type. The company also announced that it would be reducing the costs of the entire range of its PS Vita Memory Cards, as well as introducing a larger-capacity 64GB model for 9,980 yen.
The new PlayStation Vita will be available from October 10 for 19,929 yen, including tax. No Western release dates were confirmed.

CAIRO: A senior Arab League official has called on Israel's Arab minority to go out and vote in the Jewish state's parliamentary election, arguing that doing so will foil "racist" plans to force them to leave their homes.
Mohammed Sobeih, who is the pan-Arab organization's assistant secretary general, claims that Tuesday's election will be dominated by the extremist right that he says speaks openly of forcing Arab Israelis to pack up and leave.
His call is unusual for the Cairo-based league, which rarely addresses itself to Arab citizens of Israel. Himself a Palestinian, Sobeih said his Monday call was motivated by fears that underrepresentation of Arabs - about 20 percent of the Israel's population - would allow parliament to adopt "racist" legislation but still look democratic to the world.
