Phoenix Suns
Morris twins lead Suns to NBA Summer League opening win
LAS VEGAS - As far as first impressions go, yes, the Suns pushed the ball up the court and yes, they played aggressive defense. They just took their time getting there.
"We'll take the first half away, but the second half was good," said a smiling Jeff Hornacek, who won his summer league head coaching debut 82-69 over the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center.
The Suns appeared out of sync at the onset, with no better example than Markieff Morris committing three fouls in the first three minutes.
A case of the jitters is how Hornacek described the first two quarters, which saw the Suns shoot 29.7 percent, going into the locker room trailing, 35-32.
"But the second half was great," he said. "They were aggressive defensively. Offensively, we moved the ball much better and we pounded the glass. We just played aggressive.
"We came out in that second half and said, �We're going to win this game' and that's what those guys did."
Morris, despite the foul trouble (he finished with eight fouls, two short of disqualification), paced the Suns with 18 points (7-of-15, including 1-4 from 3).
Marcus Morris scored 14, while rookie Archie Goodwin finished with 13, 11 coming in the second half.
"I wouldn't say nervous, more so a little anxious the first half," said Goodwin, who played the second half with the ball more in his hand after opening the game alongside Kendall Marshall. "The second half I really calmed down and had a really good half; just got to keep that momentum going in to our next game."
Goodwin, whom the Suns moved up a spot to grab with the 29th overall pick in last month's draft, made 4-of-6 free throws, showing a willingness to get to the basket.
His defense was on display as well though what appeared to be clean block early in the third quarter was called a foul, drawing some animated protest from Markieff Morris, who was promptly whistled for a technical foul.
"It was great defense," said Morris. "The ref saw it different. I think when I got that technical foul I think that really juiced us up for sure."
The Suns forced 10 turnovers in the second half, turning many into easy scoring opportunities either with a basket in the paint or a wide open jumper on the perimeter.
"The game is a lot easier when you play that way," Hornacek said. "The second half they did a great job of rolling to the open spot, guys hit them with passes and they knocked the shots down."
The Suns shot 60 percent in the second half, when they had eight of their 13 assists.
One of the more eye-opening performances was from 6-foot-9 Arinze Onuaku of Syracuse. He grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds to go along with seven points in 17:20.
"He's a big strong kid," Hornacek said. "He did a nice job for us getting those boards."
The Suns (1-0) play Minnesota Monday afternoon.

I noticed a problem with the battery consumption while data connection is activated. When I use the mobile data connection 3G or HSDPA it's eating battery like crazy. it uses like 1% per minute so in 10 minutes I have 8 to 10% battery drop. Otherwise battery consumption is not that high - even better than other ICS roms. I use CPU governor on smartassV2 with maximum CPU speed to 1GHz.
Otherwise nice rom. Great work guys!

THE world's football body, FIFA, regional football body, CECAFA and Uganda football federation, FUFA has sent condolences to Rwanda and Simba SC following the death of midfielder Patrick Mafisango.
FIFA's former Director of International Relations Jerome Champagne said "It is with great sadness that I just learned of the accidental death of Mafisango in Tanzania, "It is a great loss to Amavubi team and Rwandan football in general. Our (FIFA) thoughts are with you," added Champagne.
CECAFA's Secretary General Nicholas Musonye said, "I have known the player for many years playing for several clubs in the region and the national team of Rwanda. "He made a big contribution to the development of football in the region. He also entertained millions of football lovers who admired his talent and charisma."
Musonye added that CECAFA consoles with the people of Rwanda, his previous club in Tanzania and his family. Uganda's FUFA boss Lawrence Mulindwa said he learnt with shock the sudden death of Mafisango, who died in a road accident in Dar es Salaam.
"Mafisango has been an influential player at both club and national level. "There is therefore no doubt that Amavubi will miss his presence on pitch during the upcoming 2014 World Cup and 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. His club Simba will also miss him badly. "On behalf of Uganda football fraternity, I extend my very sincere condolences to Ferwafa and the people of Rwanda and Simba for this big robbery of a great player," said Mulindwa.
Mafisango was expected to join his Amavubi teammates in Kigali yesterday as the team prepares for a tough World Cup qualifier against Algeria next month. Meanwhile, AS Vita head coach Raoul Shungu said through a telephone from Kinshasa, "It is hard to believe that Mafisango has gone forever, I am really struggling to come to terms with this fact."
Shungu said that most of the AS Vita players who played with him were also shocked after hearing the sad news of Mafisango's demise. "Mafisango was very famous in Kinshasa although he played mainly in Rwanda. This is his birth place and people here love him," the former Rayon Sports coach said.

Donation brings Francis Malcolm Institute closer to financial goal
Students from across the County attend the Francis Malcolm Institute in Easton for science field trips and programs each year. Over the past 10 years, the Science Center has been in need of financial assistance to meet it's operational needs. And as our News Source 8's Angela Christoforos reports; a recent donation has helped move the Easton Science Center closer to meeting it's financial goals…
Fort Fairfield pre-schoolers got a chance to get their hands on marine life from coastal Maine. It's part of a program at Easton's Francis Malcolm Institute; a Science Learning Center that's recently got a $50,000 donation.
Francis Malcolm Institute Planetarium Director Larry Berz said, "This wonderful and generous donation from Elizabeth Shaw on behalf of her brother George D. Todd is an important step and a milestone really in our opportunity to be conveying science."
George D. Todd, just like these youngsters, showed an active interest in science. The donation on his behalf is a big help to the Science Center, especially since the original funds from the trust of Francis Malcolm have dwindled over the past 10 years.
"Many people have come believing that the Science Center already is sustainable and permanent, but that's not the case," said Berz.
The Science Center has undertaken a capital campaign with a goal of raising 1.5 million dollars by 2016. The recent donation has bumped the Center up to over 70 thousand dollars.
"We've had the ability to work with thousands of boys and girls, with the opportunity of having interactive engaging science, lessons, but more importantly science experiences," said Berz.
Six thousand visitors come here each year to visit what's been a gem in the County for the past 30 years. And the Director hopes that the recent donation will encourage matching gifts and donations from the community, so that the Institute can be a County Science Learning Center for years to come.
If you'd like to donate and help support the Francis Malcolm Institute, you can contact the Science Center at 207-488-5451, www.francismalcolmsciencecenter.com or you can send a donation to P.O. Box 186, Easton, ME 04740

Data for 40 of the 71 isotopes/elements in FENDL-2.1 were taken from ENDF/B-VI.8. Following the release of ENDF/B-VII.0 we performed a preliminary assessment for changes made in data of these 40 isotopes/elements. We compared the relevant cross sections in the two libraries. In addition, we carried out MCNP calculations for a calculational benchmark representative of an early ITER design that was utilized during the FENDL development process. In addition, we performed 3-D calculations for an inertial fusion power plant conceptual design. It is concluded that modifying FENDL-2.1 to include the most recent ENDF/B-VII.0 is not urgently needed for ITER analysis. On the other hand, the larger changes in calculated ICF target neutronics parameters and tritium breeding ratio confirm the need for updating FENDL-2.1 for use in analysis of fusion systems beyond ITER. Additional calculations are in progress for integral experimental benchmarks to fully understand the impact of data changes introduced in ENDF/B-VII.0.

Vallejo Schools
Hi, I have a friend who is a single mother with 2 teenagers. She currently lives in Berkeley (rents an apartment) but due to the high cost of living, is considering moving to vallejo where she can rent a much larger apartment for a much lower rent. She has lived in Berkeley for many years and loves the culture, neighborhoods, etc. Does Vallejo have some nice neighborhoods? Is it a safe/enjoyable city to live in? Are there many cafe's, parks in walking distance? Are there good grocery stores (variety in produce, organic foods, etc)? Also, does anyone have experience with Vallejo High School? Is it a safe school? If you have teenagers that attend, do they like the school? Does it offer many AP courses and/or sports teams? Thanks in advance! CJ
Hogan is better. I have friends who sent their above average kids there who are doing well, but they are the type of kids who would do well anywhere.
If she has to move, there are two charter schools to recommend. In Vallejo is Mare Island Technology Academy (MIT) and in Napa is New Tech High. My older daughter went to New Tech and we loved it.
The best neighborhoods in Vallejo are in the Redwood hills (east) and Glen Cove. Benicia or American Canyon would be better. She could rent a house in American Canyon for what she is paying for rent down here, and her kids could go to the Napa schools. And Am Cyn is very diverse and very safe.
Good luck to your friend. Jenny

A car crashed into the front steps of a Pittsburgh-area synagogue.
No one was injured in Tuesday night's crash at Congregation Poale Zedeck Congregation in Squirrel Hill. The car reached the first landing of the stairs leading to the synagogue and did not hit the actual building, the Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle reported. Police are investigating.
According to witnesses, two men exited the heavily damaged Nissan Altima and began running up Shady Avenue as the congregants inside for evening services came outside. About a dozen congregants chased the men, who were quickly caught and held until police arrived.
It is unclear whether the crash was intentional. Police had no comment.
Congregant Rocky Wice tackled the car's driver after he had run a few blocks.
"We held him down and he was ranting about how God sent him, saying 'God is my father and I love the Jews,' " Wice said. "He did not struggle. He was very incoherent."
Wice added that the initial impact of the crash made "the whole building shudder."

The big question I was asked today by several friends and family members is what I was going to do to commemorate Sean's second anniversary. The truth is, I didn't know what to do. I toyed with the idea of going to one of his favourite restaurants. Maybe a visit to our church. Then thought I would spend time in the ER where everything went down two years ago. To be honest, nothing felt right and I was puzzled and confused. And a bit angry.
So I went back to my blog post, which I wrote on Sean's first anniversary. Two lines, that I had written from Sean's perspective, stuck out for me: "You don't need to let widowhood define you. You don't need to behave and act in a certain manner because it is expected of you."
Immediately I realized, I didn't have to do anything. I didn't even need to write this blog post. All I really wanted was to spend some quiet time alone at 10.05 p.m. (the official time of passing that the doctor called) like I always do on the 26th of each month and say a silent prayer that Sean was happy wherever he was.
Prayer, silence and solitude — all in the hope that Sean is sitting by my side, holding my hand and whispering in my ear that everything is going to be okay. Because you know what, everything will be. No wait, everything is. I have an Angel in heaven who proves to me every day that he's got my back and that I'm never alone. We will always have a deep and special connection, in life and in death. That's infinity points for me. Zilch for you cancer.
I don't need to tell you how much I love or miss you Sean because you know I do. Going to put some Snow Patrol on in a bit and not think about what happened two years ago, but about the 11 years we enjoyed together instead.
Until we meet again, sleep well my Angel.
Yours forever,
Sean was an utter romantic and used to write me poetry. This one is from way back in 2002 but took on a whole new meaning after he earned his angel wings. Hope you enjoy it. (Yes, the man was a super talented poet AND writer.)
The air outside is so hard
It's crashing hard onto my soul
To think I wouldn't let down my guard
And allow you to make me whole.
And like the mile walker
Praying for redemption quick
I turn my attention to the future
And hope to make it in time's nick.
You warmed my every night
Delivered me from every fright
And while they took every emotion from my brain
Like water down a drain
I suffered hard and long
You, like alabaster, protected me strong.
Not for you, for me
That was hard to understand
Impossible to see.
Your face as clear as day your soul purer still
You held my hand helped me stand
And I have buried my past
Prolonged agony can never end soon
And while questions last
It all ended one pale dry afternoon
That's when I realized you compass my heart
And if my future lies ahead
Then it's with you I want to start
I watched the world drift
My emotions shift
The wind it whispered , 'twas insistent
My dulling soul regained its happy glint.
Your face inspires a million words
With which I could rule a million more
You love strengthens my aching will
I face a thousand foes.
I bore a million stabs to my injured heart
I fooled myself from the start
With you there's no deceit no lies
No anxiety no unending goodbyes.
Your kiss upon my face
My fingers through your lace
If the world ended here
Nothing I fear.
Everyone's heaven differs
That's why faith suffers
While everyone waits for the unending light to shine
I'm the blessed one, I'm in love with mine
Sean Richard D'Souza – March 3, 2002

By Norris Hermsmeyer (Acct'67)
It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. "It" refers to finding a sailor who had served on the USS Colorado during World War II, who was also a student or alum of the University of Colorado. In the mid-1990s, while serving on the CU alumni board, occasionally writing stories for the Alumnus (now Coloradan) magazine and being a CU-NROTC graduate and Naval officer, I wondered if such a person existed. After a two-year search I located Don Bloomquist (MechEngr'44) of Littleton, Colo., who fit the description of the man I was looking for. He has since died.
My goal was to make sure the third warship named after the state of Colorado was adequately recognized and artifacts from it preserved. The lack of recognition by the State of Colorado, which gave its name to the battleship, had left a bitterness with the sailors who served aboard the ship.
One of the interesting facts about Bloomquist was he worked at the Federal Center in Lakewood for a number of years, and he discovered one of the ship's bells in storage at the Federal Center which eventually led to the bell being transferred to the University Memorial Center on the CU-Boulder campus.
In the course of my search for Bloomquist, I came in contact with the USS Colorado Alumni Association, a group of former sailors who, along with their wives and families, meet in annual reunions. One of the Association's goals is to foster remembrance of the ship and the men who served on board.
There had been some other recognition. One of the former shipmates, Marine Chris Baker, author of Teakwood Decks (Susquehanna Publishers), a history of the USS Colorado, had collected a variety of photos and artifacts to donate to the Colorado Historical Society. There was an understanding on the part of the USS Colorado Alumni Association that the society would maintain a permanent display of ship artifacts in its collection, but the society maintains that such a promise was never made and that its responsibility was to preserve the items donated for posterity. Those photos and relics are available to view by appointment only.
The battleship USS Colorado was commissioned in 1923 and decommissioned in 1947. Its history is that of distinguished service, particularly in World War II. It was not in Pearl Harbor at the outbreak of the war in 1941 because it was being overhauled for modern warfare in the state of Washington. It saw service throughout World War II, however, particularly in the Pacific where it was active in 10 significant battles. It was struck by a "kamikaze" aircraft in November 1944 during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. It was the first battleship in Tokyo Bay at the end of the war, but because the peace treaty was signed on the USS Missouri, it wasn't recognized for the actual peace signing.
Prior to the war, the USS Colorado was the lead ship in the search for explorer Amelia Earhart in July 1937. Apparently CU President George Norlin (1919-1939) was aboard the ship during the search as part of a familiarization tour.
There are a number of items from the USS Colorado at the Veteran's Lounge in the UMC at CU-Boulder. Particularly notable are the stern pilot's wheel and the ship's bell. The bell was made from copper pennies donated by Colorado school children. Later the bell was removed from the ship to prevent it from being damaged during warfare and mysteriously disappeared for several years.
The bell was found in 1947 inside a chapel in the jungles of the Philippines and was returned to the ship prior to its 1947 decommissioning. The bell was removed again before the ship was stripped and sold for scrap in 1959. Shortly thereafter, in 1960, the bell was presented to the State of Colorado by the U.S. Department of the Navy. In 1961 the state turned it over to CU and it has been in the UMC ever since.
Because the UMC is dedicated to those who served in the "great wars" the Veterans Lounge in the UMC became the host to various artifacts from the ship. With the backing of the USS Colorado Alumni Association and through the sponsorship by UMC director Carlos Garcia, several additions to the UMC were made. A waterline one-meter scale model of the U.S.S. Colorado was constructed by Dave Runkle in 1988 and donated to the Veteran's Lounge by the U.S.S. Colorado Alumni Association in 2002. Each year on Veterans Day (Nov. 11), Garcia honors USS Colorado servicemen in a speech and calls out the items on display in the Veteran's Lounge.
In 2003 a model of the ship was added to the Veterans Lounge. In 2004 what is known as the "Sunday Flag," measuring 9 feet by 17 feet, as well as some other items, were donated to the university. In 2007, the UMC hosted a reunion for those who had served on the USS Colorado, one of the last reunions for these sailors, as the remaining men who served aboard the ship are in their late 80's and early 90's.
In addition, in order to develop an awareness of the role of the USS Colorado statewide, I undertook a project to develop a memorial for the ship at the State Capitol. This search resulted in a freestanding bench on the northeast corner of the State Capitol grounds. It was dedicated in March 1997 by Gov. Roy Romer (Law'52, HonDocHum'06) and was the last freestanding memorial to be allowed on State Capitol grounds
I have also helped to assemble additional photos of the USS Colorado in action along with other artifacts and have donated them to both the Broomfield and Fort Morgan Military History museums along with the Colorado Historical Society for preservation.
Finally, along with several veterans from the ship I assembled photos and artifacts that have become the focal point for the Naval Reserve quarterdeck at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colo., which was dedicated in May of 2010. Almost the entire display focuses on the service the USS Colorado provided. This is intentional, as many recruits from Colorado get their first visual experience of being in the Navy when they walk into the Buckley Navy Reserve Center and see the historical record of the ship.
Norris Hermsmeyer (Acct'67) has called Boulder his home for 50 years, although he has spent considerable time overseas with the Navy in Vietnam and as a church volunteer in India, Papua New Guinea, Madagascar and Kenya. As a community volunteer, he has been active with the CU-Boulder, Sister Cities and Rotary. He is still active as a Boulder Realtor. Norris and his wife have three wonderful college-age children.

Press and New Urbanism Engaging media: If We're So Smart, Why Don't Reporters and Editors Always Agree with Us?*
Submitted by Joe Menard on Wed, 06/13/2007 - 10:03am
Over the last two years, New Urbanism has attracted more media coverage than at any time in its history; yet, many planners and architects complain that too many reporters ignore what we consider major stories. Moreover, when they do feature new urbanist projects and principles, many seem distracted by sensational angles and out-of-context anecdotes. What's going on here? Are the messengers or the message to blame? It's time for a graduate-level course in Media Matters, from the experts in editorial decision- making: the journalists themselves. Learn to speak the language of reporters and editors and to frame pitches that give you the best chance of getting the right kind of media attention.

Liber Nox: A Traditional Witch's Gramarye, by Michael Howard
Skylight Press, 9781908011855, 217 pp., 2014
Liber Nox is subtitled "A Traditional Witch's Gramarye" in order to distinguish it from various forms of Wicca and contemporary Paganism, and to emphasize that it's not in those traditions, but dealing with something older.
The book covers what one might expect from a basic text of witchcraft: the deities, the tools, initiation, circle casting, and the Wheel of the Year. In this regard it's a good book, and if you need another guide to the Wheel of the Year and the mythology and rituals behind it, or the tools of the craft, then Liber Nox can get you started.

Health overhaul centerpiece endures growing pains
The program will last until 2014, when the new health law requires insurers to accept all applicants regardless of medical history. Most states have opted to take federal money and design their own programs. But in 23 states and the District of Columbia, the federal government runs the plan directly.
In interviews, state officials and independent experts raised several potential problems.
-Premiums may be out of reach. In many states, people in their 40s and 50s face monthly premiums ranging from $400 to $600 and higher. "I think there's some sticker shock going on," said Sabrina Corlette, a Georgetown University research professor. "People who may be eligible are finding out that even if they can get the insurance, the price is too high." Pennsylvania, which set a premium of $283 for all ages, has had no problem getting applicants.
-A barrier may include requirements that people be uninsured for at least six months and that people provide documentation that they've been turned down by an insurer. "There are many people who don't meet the criteria for the federal pool, particularly the six months without coverage," said Goldman.
-In states where the federal government runs the program directly, the insurance plan doesn't provide coverage for prescription drugs until people have met a $2,500 annual deductible. "Applying this high ... deductible to the pharmacy benefit is a real barrier to consumer access to medications," Steven Browning, a Texas official, wrote HHS last week.

A number of Samsung notebooks (530Uxx/535Uxx/540Uxx/550Pxx/900Xxx/etc) continue to log events during sleep (lid open/close, AC plug/unplug, battery level change), which accumulate in the EC until a buffer fills. After the buffer is full (tests suggest it holds 8 events), GPEs stop being triggered for new events. This state persists on wake or even on power cycle, and prevents new events from being registered until the EC is manually polled.
This is the root cause of a number of bugs, including AC not being detected properly, lid close not triggering suspend, and low ambient light not triggering the keyboard backlight. The bug also seemed to be responsible for performance issues on at least one user's machine.

The Motley Fool: Name that company
| February 4, 2014 | Updated: February 4, 2014 10:34pm
Name that company
Two brothers founded me in 1871 in Ohio. Today I'm the largest domestic pottery company, specializing in high-fired, lead-free glazes. Based in West Virginia now, I employ 1,100 people. For a time, I made toilet ware, such as china basins. In the early 1900s, I had the world's largest pottery plant and boasted about 10 percent of U.S. pottery production capacity. In the 1950s, facing competition from inexpensive imported dinnerware, I expanded into hotel and restaurant offerings. You might expect food at Spanish religious festivals to be served on my flagship dishes. Who am I? Last Week's Answer: Scripps Networks Interactive.

I'm looking for current or classic real-world (modern or recent historical, dating back to World War II/1950's) weapons, or realistic fictional weapons of the type you'd see in spy movies/TV shows (classic, such as James Bond/Man from U.N.C.L.E., or modern-day) or war/thriller movies. For example, I'd love to find:
- the M-16/M-4 series
- the AK-47/AK-74 series
- Uzi or similar modern/recent classic submachine guns
- machine guns such as the M-60
- rocket-propelled grenades or antitank weapons such as the Soviet/Russian RPG series or the LAW/TOW
- pistols, modern or classic (e.g., Glock/Beretta for modern or Colt M1911/Luger/Walther P-38 for classic)
- attachments for pistols/rifles such as silencers, laser sights, grenade launchers, etc.
I'm having difficulty finding the kind of stuff I want in the Daz shop (or Renderosity); the great majority of weapons sets I've found so far seem to be fantasy/SF/steampunk. I do have the Firearm Set but it's really pretty bland and generic and I want to use more realistic weapons in my renders. Any ideas?

Meet a Roadrunner: UTSA alumnus Javier Moreno creates Buzzfeed viral hits
(June 25, 2014) -- Meet UTSA alumnus Javier Moreno '10. He is an Editorial Fellow and content creator for the popular social news and entertainment website BuzzFeed Inc.
Moreno's posts, which carry titles such as "21 Definitive Guy-Cry Movie Moments" or "36 Nature Photos That Prove Texas is Not Just Tumbleweeds," are shared on countless social media sites and consumed by thousands of Internet users daily.
Since Moreno's first post, a mash-up video he found online of Elton John and rock band System of a Down, appeared on BuzzFeed a little more than a month ago, he has consistently racked up Internet views numbering in the high thousands to millions. His most well received article, "25 Words That Have a Different Meaning in Texas," received more than 1.6 million views in less than a month.
"My favorite thing about my work at BuzzFeed is the creative freedom it provides," said Moreno. "On any given day, we can write about whatever we want, whether it's a hard-hitting news subject or simply a list of funny cat gifs. I don't know of many workplaces that foster and encourage that sort of creative environment."
Each day, Moreno imagines, researches and posts a variety of new content to the highly trafficked website. In the last month alone, he has posted articles about Texas institutions, cultural differences, sports and pop culture.
"Coming up with fresh ideas is challenging work," said Moreno. "The Internet moves fast, and, at times, staying ahead of current social trends can be a lot harder than it may seem."
However, this is all part of the excitement of the work, and he excels under pressure, he said. After all, doing good work while under pressure is a skill that he spent years at UTSA perfecting, and he is not shy about admitting it.
"I work in an environment that is extremely fast-paced, but my time at UTSA prepared me well for that," said Moreno. "Whether it was studying for an exam, or pulling an all-nighter to put the finishing touches on a paper or project, my upper level classes taught me how to handle the pressure."
While Moreno is fully committed to his work with BuzzFeed, he said he will always appreciate and share the experiences he had at UTSA with anyone who will listen.
"My years at UTSA were some of the best of my life," said Moreno. "I made lifelong friends whom I still keep in contact with to this day. The professors and mentors I had there shaped me morally and professionally, and they instilled in me a passion for hard work. I love and miss the university dearly. No matter where I'm at in the world, I am and will always be a Roadrunner."
Do you know someone at UTSA who is achieving great things? Email us at email@example.com, and we will consider your submission for an upcoming installment of Meet a Roadrunner.
Read the stories of other UTSA students, faculty, staff and alumni on the Meet a Roadrunner website.

From Jon Heyman of si.com:
"Nationals GM Jim Bowden has the job because he ingratiated himself with the Lerner family, not because he was club president Stan Kasten's first choice. Even so, word is Bowden worked at least the first several months after his appointment without a contract, and it's believed that's still the case. In the long run, it may not be so easy for him to keep the job."
"The Nats were outbid by double for Alfonso Soriano ($136 million to $70 million) after Bowden determined it would be better not trade Soriano because they'd try to keep him instead. The Nats' big deals this winter were 21 six-year minor-league free agents. How bad is their plight? 'We have one pitcher. One starting pitcher,' noted one Nationals person."
Wait a minute, you mean a Jim Bowden led franchise has absolutely no pitching? SHOCKER

Prof Wangari Muta Maathai - Africa's first black woman Nobel laureate and among the world's foremost environmental conservationist - who was cremated on Saturday October 8, left behind a powerful legacy.
The evening news of the death of Prof Maathai a fortnight ago was a shocker, especially because her illness was unknown to the general public, just like the announcement that she chose cremation over being buried in a wooden coffin.
"Prof Maathai's departure is untimely and a great loss to all who knew her - as a mother, relative, co-worker, colleague, role model, and heroine; or who admired her determination to make the world a more peaceful, healthier, and better place," reads a statement from the Green Belt Movement, announcing her death.
A politician, a professor of veterinary medicine and a conservationist, all rolled into one, Prof Maathai is best known for founding the grassroots based Green Belt Movement that empowers ordinary Kenyans to conserve the environment as a way of political and cultural emancipation.
Her ingenious illustration of the interconnections between culture, politics, economics and the environment marked a breakthrough in conservation activism, winning her several accolades.
In her acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, Maathai moved thousands to tears as she pointed out the destruction that humanity had visited on Mother Earth warning that we were doomed to extinction unless this was reversed.
The disappearance of the village well, in Tetu District of Kenya where she was born, painted the picture of destruction perfectly.
In her childhood, she recalled with nostalgia, there were hundreds of tadpoles swimming freely in the then lively village well.
A few decades later in 2004, the tadpoles that once enjoyed the freshness of the marshy water had disappeared, just like the water and the green growths that decorated it.
She blamed human activities around the well for its disappearance, and explained how that had disrupted her people's way of life.As a Nobel Laureate, Prof Maathai continued her passionate conservation crusades, especially in the context of global warming and reforestation.
usy diary
After 2008, when she dropped out of Kenya's parliamentary politics after losing her seat after only one term, the 71-year-old professor went global. With the number of international assignments she was handling, Maathai was hardly in Kenya.
One day she was attending to the issues of the Congo Basin, as the roving ambassador of the Congo Basin, a role bestowed on her by Congo Brazzaville's President Denis Sassou Ngeuso in 2005; another day she was making presentations at UN meetings, especially on her role as the UN Secretary-General's Advisory Board on Disarmament, or just speaking to the media, on diverse issues.
She had a full diary.
"It is the people who must save the environment.
It is the people who must make their leaders change. And we cannot be intimidated.
So we must stand up for what we believe in," she said. Challenging others to improve the environment is what guided her struggle.
In her view, Kenya's environmental degradation started with the cultural degradation occasioned by displacement that was promoted through colonisation. When the colonial settlers robbed communities of their land they also stripped them of a way of life that had promoted environmental conservation.
Introduction of new species of flora and fauna, most of which were not supportive of the ecosystem, plus exploitation of natural resources, worsened the situation.
Further, post-Independence regimes carried on the destruction, with government-sanctioned deforestation for farming and other commercial activities.
This degraded the ecosystems further, paving the way for the serious environmental degradation that faces us today.
Early days
To address environmental degradation, Prof Maathai started the Green Belt Movement in 1977. This was a self-propelling grassroots movement that put its membership on a collision course with then president Daniel arap Moi.
When she worked with women under the National Council of Women of Kenya as its chairperson between 1981 and 1987, the idea of involving grassroots women in conservation become even more entrenched.
In groups, the women would meet, learn the intricacies of the ecosystem and why tree planting would eventually improve their livelihoods.
Through the Green Belt Movement, she assisted women in planting 20-30 million trees on their farms and in school and church compounds
Realising how connected conservation was to politics, the women went ahead to confront political issues of discrimination, corruption and resource grabbing by those close to power.
In 1988, a group of women, led by Prof Wangari, stopped the construction of a skyscraper in Nairobi's Uhuru Park, after applying sustained pressure.
Later, the Green Belt Movement was instrumental in the push for the release of political prisoners, considered as the tipping point in Kenya's politics that eventually delivered multipartyism and a new Constitution years later.
Between 2002 and 2008, Prof Maathai was an assistant minister in President Mwai Kibaki's government, but remained focused on her work and did not hesitate to criticise the government, as much as she was also the voice of reason.
The story of her struggle is well documented in several books including: The Green Belt Movement: Sharing the Approach and the Experience (2003); Unbowed (2006), her autobiography and The Challenge for Africa (2008).
There is also Spiritual Values for Healing Ourselves and the World (2010) that tells the story of the Green Belt Movement and how it can work elsewhere, as Kinyanjui Kombani's Mother of Trees.
Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai, an award winning documentary by Lisa Merton and Alan Dater, captures Prof Maathai's world, explaining the conservationist's convictions in a deep, engaging way.
Wangari Maatha's was an inspirational life well lived.

Indicator Report - Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Deaths
Why Is This Important?Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a condition in which blood flow to the heart is reduced. When the coronary arteries become narrowed or clogged, an inadequate amount of blood oxygen reaches the heart tissue. The part of the heart not receiving oxygen begins to die, and some of the heart muscle may be permanently damaged. Prevention of CHD is key to reducing mortality from heart disease.

Hi Lydia,
I saw your link to your blog through Beth Moore's Siestavilla blog :) I just read through your family's beautiful story and am just so amazed by God's grace in your life. My prayer is that God would continue to be His Truth and Light to you. Your faith and you hope in Him is so strong and event. You are beaming *hope* in the words you've penned on this blog. I pray that a 9 month diagnosis would turn into a 90 YEAR diagnosis and that Lydia's life would be a beacon of hope to all those around her. May God perform a miracle in your lives and continue to bless your family for centuries to come! In His Love, Cindy Childers
Dear Lydia,
I am 18 year old, and I just want to tell you that you are very beautiful, and God loves you very much. You story brought tears to me, and tears, not of sorrow but in expression of joy. I am so proud of you! Our God, has a BIG plan for your life. You will impact so many people and change lives. May the Lord Bless you and your family tremendously. One thing I ask you to never stop doing... smiling. You are so beautiful, and I know your mother loves you smile and so does your father and even God. :')
It really makes sense when reading this that we are supposed to have "faith like a child". The faith that Lydia has is so beautiful.
~Lindsey Silva

Dear Lydia, thank you for sharing your story. You are letting your light shine for Jesus and we thank God for you and your whole family.
Hugs, in Christ, Miss Nancie
Hello Lydia, I just met you today. I am so grateful to have gotten a chance to know your story. It was early this morning that I joined your site and now I come back and you have gone to be with our heavenly father. I am 37 and my husband Leon is 48. We have three boys Xavier (17), Joseph (16), and Ahmad (12) and I can't wait to tell them all about you and your family. To God be ALL THE GLORY for the BLESSING that you have been to my life so quickly.
I Thank God for you and your wonderful family sharing your story and allowing my family into yours. Stacey and Willie we will continue to keep you all in prayer.
Kenya Peoples
This blog was shared with me and others on another site. I was warned it was emotional, but I cant even read it all as I sit here in tears. I have 3 children Michael (16), Paige (13), and KaytLynn (2). I have no words to express what your story has done to me. All I know is I have this extreme need to go to Church and just reach out like I have never in the past, this need to let go of the restraint I have had in believing...ReplyDelete
Thank you for being such a wonderful person, and opening our eyes.ReplyDelete
Lydia, you are absolutely beautiful, no matter where you are. You and your family are making a very big impact on people they don't even know! I love the bible verses that are your favorites. Look over your family and keep them safe, they love you very much :)ReplyDelete

Recipe by Classico
"Just a handful of ingredients go into this quick pasta toss; it's a great way to take advantage of a bumper crop of zucchini."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound
2 tablespoons
extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves
garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
2 pounds
coarsely shredded zucchini
1/2 teaspoon
1/8 teaspoon
black pepper
1 cup
shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup
Classico® Light Creamy Alfredo pasta sauce
Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)
This is very good and fairly quick. I don't use the Cheddar cheese though. Cook the pasta, drain and set aside. Chop the garlic and slice the zucchini. Saute just until slightly tender but still has a little crunch. Add the sauce and a toss to heat through. Toss in a handful of chopped fresh basil and a grind or two of fresh black pepper. Serve over pasta.
We found this to be very bland, it just didn't do it for us.

I made this today for lunch and my husband and I both really liked it. I think it could be modified to be even better though, depending on your tastes. I would add onions, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes. We also made this using an alfredo sauce recipe from this website as well that was delicious. I don't typically like store bought alfredo sauce, so I don't buy it. Otherwise, I made the recipe exactly as stated. Some other things I would change is drain the zucchini before adding to the garlic and oil mixture. Just small changes that would enhance this recipe, but really it is good as is.
This is great, I only changed one thing I added more garlic because we love that stuff. Wonderful recipe and so quick and easy. I made a double batch and served it to my neighbors while watching the NYG/Chicago game, they all loved it. With a nice glass of your favorite wine, wonderful.
This was yummy. Made as posted but added 3 more cloves of garlic. The only issue was that it needed more flavor. Had to add more pepper, and parmesan was delicious addition.
very good I served with grilled chicken breast on top . Used homemade Alfredo sauce, and homemade pasta. Lill less cheddar only because after what goes into the alfredo sauce you feel like you are trying to kill your family. Everyone raved about it !
This was good! I did add sauteed chicken breast to it and made my own alfredo sauce though. Everyone really liked it. Also added red pepper flakes for garnish.
This was super simple and easy. The hardest part was shredding the zucchini. This is wonderful for an easy, simple and fast dinner. Thank You for sharing.

Stocks Slip Ahead of G-7 Meeting
U.S. stocks were trading flat to lower Tuesday morning ahead of a report that is expected to show another set of weak economic data, this time in the form of slowing growth in the domestic services industry.
Investors were also awaiting developments from a meeting of G-7 finance chiefs Tuesday as Spain asked for help to shore up its banks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 16.6 points, or 0.1%, at 12,085. The S&P 500 was falling 1.3 points, or 0.1%, at 1277, and the Nasdaq was lower by 1.5 points, or 0.04%, at 2758.
U.S. stocks struggled to eke out gains Monday after a larger-than-expected drop in factory orders compounded concerns over a stagnating job market and a global economic slowdown.
The economic calendar in the U.S. Tuesday includes the Institute for Supply Management's services index for May at 10 a.m. EDT. The consensus estimate is for a reading of 53.1, according to Briefing.com, down from 53.5 in April. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
Financial policy makers from the G-7 countries are to hold a conference call Tuesday to discuss the European debt crisis, according to Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. As the G-7 gets ready to hold its meeting, Spain's Treasury Minister Cristobal Montoro warned that soaring borrowing rates for the government — thanks to Spain's banking crisis — have effectively been shutting off the eurozone's fourth largest economy from the credit markets.
He pleaded that European funds be used to bolster the country's banks.
The DAX in Germany was down 0.9%. The London Stock Exchange was closed to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Activity in the eurozone's manufacturing and services sectors continued to fall in May, according to the Markit Eurozone purchasing managers composite output index. The final reading came in at 46 in May, down from 46.7 in April, the steepest rate of decline in the single currency area since Jun. 2009.
The final Markit eurozone services business activity index fell to a seven-month low of 46.7 in May from 46.9 in April.
The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong finished up 0.4% and the Nikkei in Japan rose 1%.
The July crude oil contract was off 11 cents at $83.87 a barrel. August gold futures were rising $5.50 to $1,619.40 an ounce.
"There remain downside risks as the Spanish and Portuguese banking sectors face multiple defaults without continued aid," said Addison Armstrong, senior market research director at Tradition Energy.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury was rising 5/32, diluting the yield to 1.5%. The dollar was up 0.3%, according to the dollar index.
In corporate news, Chesapeake Energy (CHK) settled a campaign raised by activist investor Carl Icahn to give shareholders of the struggling oil and gas company four board seats. Chesapeake said following "extensive discussions" with its two largest shareholders, Southeastern Asset Management and Icahn, it has agreed to add four new independent directors to replace four existing independent directors who will resign from Chesapeake's board.
Exxon Mobil (XOM) is considering exporting liquefied natural gas from the United States, according to reports.
Asked whether Exxon planned to export LNG from the United States, CEO Rex Tillerson toldReuters: "We are studying it." Exxon is North America's largest natural gas producer.
FedEx (FDX) announced Monday it is raising its quarterly dividend by a penny to 14 cents a share. The dividend is payable on July 2.
Google (GOOG) will buy Silicon Valley startup Meebo. Meebo boasts 100 million monthly active users.
"We are always looking for better ways to help users share content and connect with others across the Web, just as they do in real life," Google said in a statement. "With the Meebo team's expertise in social publisher tools, we believe they will be a great fit with the Google Plus team." Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but reports last month put the price tag at about $100 million.

Date: Tuesday May 8th
Time: 7:00 PM ET (Book signing at 6 PM)
Location: Shea Theatre, Islip Arts Bldg. (Campus Map, park near Bldg. O)
Selden, NY – Suffolk County Community College will host Dr. Michael E. Mann, Professor and Director of Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University, as he speaks on the topic of climate change science and the political controversy associated with the reality of human-caused global warming, on Tuesday, May 8 at 7:00 p.m. in Shea Theatre in the Islip Arts Building on the Ammerman Campus in Selden.
Dr. Mann is an internationally recognized climate scientist, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and accomplished author. He will be available for a book signing at 6:00 p.m. at the same location. The event is free and open to the general public.
Dr. Mann's famous "hockey stick" global temperature reconstruction was prominently featured in the 2001 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Summary for Policymakers and since then, the hockey stick has become an icon in what he calls the "Climate Wars." His research clearly showed that modern day temperatures are significantly higher than at any time in the past 1000 years and subsequent research by Dr. Mann and others have extended this time frame back to 2000 years.
Dr. Mann recently published The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines by Columbia University Press. In this publication Dr. Mann says,
"In short, I attempt to use the Hockey Stick to cut through the fog of disinformation that has been generated by the campaign to deny the reality of climate change. It is my intent, in so doing, to reveal the very real threat to our future that lies behind it."
This event is sponsored by Suffolk County Community College's Office of Campus Activities and Student Leadership Development on the Ammerman Campus in Selden. For more information, please contact Professor Scott A. Mandia at firstname.lastname@example.com or 631-451-4104.

Does anyone know what Irna's kids are up too? I know here daughter wanted to write. I wish they would make an appearance at the emmy's.

Katherine Phillips is dead. She passed away several years back. Her son, Thomas, I believe is still alive.
I'm not sure how much Katherine wanted to write. In my search for information on Les White, who wrote an article on Irna Phillips, I came across a blog for Lynn Liccardo, who may have written for one of the soap mags. Anyway, Liccardo recently published an e-book on "As the World Turns" and was doing research on Irna Phillips. If I remember correctly, Liccardo interviewed Warren Swanson, one of Irna's subwriters who claimed Katherine really didn't do much writing or didn't enjoy writing. He also stated Katherine had done some soap writing under the name Katherine Babecki, a name I recognize, but hadn't realized was a pseudonym for Katherine Phillips.
