The one World Cup question left about the U.S. women's national teamEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 14 hrs ago
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – This time is different.
That's the vow from the United States women's national team, four years after World Cup heartbreak in Germany.
"This team is different," Abby Wambach said on Friday. "There's an air of confidence."
[FC Yahoo: These U.S. players should want World Cup revenge the most against Japan]
There is an air of confidence, yes. It's palpable. The team is beaming, having to rein itself in from the anticipation of potentially overshadowing the 2011 World Cup loss and standing beside the "99ers" who won it all 16 years ago. This American side knows it is good enough to win, good enough to be a champion.
[Women's World Cup: Latest news | Scores and Schedule | Group standings]
"What's important," she said, "is to score first."
Reduced role doesn't stop Wambach from being USA's inspirational leaderEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 1 day ago
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Kelley O'Hara has gone through what could be called The Abby Wambach Bench Experience.
The two sit at the end of the bench together during matches – the joke is they are cordoned off down there because they're both so vociferous – and it got so tense during the United States' semifinal victory over Germany that Wambach grabbed O'Hara's arm. Very tightly.
"Abby," O'Hara said, "do not injure me."
It hasn't been the easiest of Women's World Cups for Wambach, who arrived as the biggest name on the team (save perhaps Alex Morgan) and was relegated to the bench as the offense found its rhythm. She doesn't mind the lack of playing time so much as having to watch the fate of her biggest soccer dream playing out right in front of her. On Friday, she called her spectator role "nerve-wracking" and "brutal."
"It has taken years off my life," Wambach said to chuckles from the press.
It has been a lesson to her – to her teammates and to young soccer players – on how to step back with grace and leadership.
In a way, she has responded to those moments more off the field than on it.
Security at Women's World Cup not like it was for the men's tournamentEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 3 days ago
MONTREAL – For American fans, the Women's World Cup has been a fabulous tournament: hospitable cities, drivable distances from the U.S., mild summer weather, and a string of wins for the U.S. It's easy to notice how comfortable the entire event has been.
But is it too comfortable? Security at the venues has been less stringent than anything fans will encounter at an NFL stadium, and certainly more relaxed than at the men's World Cup or at the Olympics.
"Pretty easy," said John Weaver of West Lafayette, Indiana, who was in Ottawa for the U.S. quarterfinal match against China. "Slipped right through. We didn't have anything checked."
There was a bag check at the Ottawa venue, but fans weren't ushered through metal detectors, and the use of the electronic wand has been intermittent.
"This would be a bad situation for terrorism," Weaver said.
Gerstenecker said if this was a men's World Cup, the protocol would be "full mag, full bag," meaning every single fan would be wanded and every single bag would be checked, whereas in the women's event, the wand use is based on an undisclosed random system of choosing who to flag.
Jill Ellis deserves credit for U.S. run to World Cup final, but how much?Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 3 days ago
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Becky Sauerbrunn got off the cross-country flight on Wednesday, tired but energized by the United States' semifinal upset of Germany on Tuesday. She smiled into a gaggle of cameras and was asked about the pregame speeches of head coach Jill Ellis.
[Yahoo Sports Radio: Carli Lloyd on growing support for U.S. women's soccer]
"They're really inspirational," she said. "She's really pumped up before every game."
That is quite the departure from the Ellis we have come to know over the last few weeks at the Women's World Cup. Her press conferences are reserved, with just a trace of sardonic humor. Maybe she'll offer a wink and a smirk if sharing a joke. Mostly she returns barbs with shrugs. Last Friday, when asked by a German reporter about a "terrible" call that benefited her U.S. side, Ellis stared out into the crowd and said flatly, "Between the 18s, we're a very good team."
It turns out that Ellis had more in her arsenal than a few bland quotes. She had speeches, she had wisdom and she had an 11th-hour surprise that may have put her team over the top.
Julie Johnston's wonderful World Cup nearly ruined by defensive mistakeEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 4 days ago
MONTREAL – Long after it happened, it looked like Julie Johnston wanted to cry all over again.
She walked into the media area after the United States' 2-0 semifinal win against Germany and faced the reporters' questions she knew she would get – about the mistake that could have led to her team's ouster from the Women's World Cup.
[FC Yahoo: Questionable calls go USA's way in semifinal win over Germany]
"Definitely emotional," she said, offering a smile. "Definitely screwed up. Definitely apologetic."
[Women's World Cup: Latest news | Scores and Schedule | Group standings]
Johnston said she was so upset that she was "trying to breathe."
U.S. advances to Women's World Cup final with 2-0 win over GermanyEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 4 days ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
MONTREAL – Captain Carli, Captain America.
Carli Lloyd did it again, burying a penalty kick, hurling a Jersey-branded cussword into the bedlam and then setting up Kelley O'Hara for the clinching goal as the United States beat favored Germany 2-0 to advance to the Women's World Cup final on Sunday in Vancouver.
[FC Yahoo: Questionable calls go USA's way in semifinal win over Germany]
Lloyd's first highlight came only a few moments after Germany's lowlight, as Celia Sasic completely missed the net on her own penalty kick. That was the difference in the match, as the American defense locked it down for yet another shutout. Hope Solo and Co. have still only allowed one goal in the entire tournament.
"It's a spectacular stat, to be honest," head coach Jill Ellis said of the shutout streak, now at a remarkable 513 minutes.
"We did a good job getting behind their back line," Morgan said. "We could have exploited them a lot more."
Why Hope Solo should break her media silence at Women's World CupEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 5 days ago
MONTREAL – Hope Solo has done one exclusive interview since the start of the Women's World Cup. It took place in Winnipeg and it was conducted by Julianna Raposo.
Raposo is an eighth grader. She is 13.
The interview came about because Raposo's physical education teacher at Henry G. Izatt Middle School in Manitoba sent a tweet to Solo months ago to inform her that one of his students could use some confidence and inspiration. "She was a little bit lost," said the teacher, Blue Jay Bridge. "She was in an emotional place." Solo, the United States' star goalkeeper, is Raposo's favorite athlete, so much so that she had written H-O-P-E S-O-L-O across her fingers. ("I thought it was Han Solo," Bridge said.)
[Women's World Cup: Latest news | Scores and Schedule | Group standings]
So she decided to send an email to her teammates and open up even more.

Michael Sam back on CFL journey after dealing with 'personal matters'Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 6 days ago
MONTREAL – The coaches left the locker room, closed the door, and allowed Michael Sam to have a few moments in front of his teammates.
Sam addressed the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday night, telling them he was sorry for leaving the group, he needed some time to take care of his personal life, and now he is back and fully committed.
When he finished speaking, he got a rousing ovation.
Sam dreamed of Dallas or St. Louis or some other NFL city, but Montreal is likely a detour worth taking. In fact, becoming the first openly gay player in the CFL is probably his only way to get a real shot at becoming the first openly gay player to get a roster spot in the NFL. The NFL veterans combine in Arizona last spring showed some of Sam's combine issues – a little slow, a little small – and here on this field with two 50-yard lines and a premium on end rushing, he can prove himself as a player who can close space using his instincts as well as his feet. Game tape has always been Sam's best ally, and he can create plenty of it here on a professional level.
This may be Michael Sam's last chance, but it is still a pretty good chance.
For USWNT's Ali Krieger, love conquers all and hopefully top-ranked GermanyEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 6 days ago
MONTREAL – Liebe.
That's the word tattooed on Ali Krieger's left forearm. It means "love" in German: love of sport, love of team, love of time spent in that country.
Here, this week, liebe also means rivalry.
[Women's World Cup: Latest news | Scores and Schedule | Group standings]
The United States defenseman has wanted to face the Germans from before the beginning of the Women's World Cup. She even called Germany out before the tournament started during the U.S. team's big sendoff in New York a month ago.
"That's what I want the final to be," she said. "We are coming to play against them and beat them."

Meet the biggest U.S. women's national team fan at the World CupEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 7 days ago
MONTREAL – Big-time soccer isn't big-time soccer without the WAGs (wives and girlfriends). Except in the case of the United States at the Women's World Cup, it's HABs (husbands and boyfriends), and one of them is 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds and starred for Jim Harbaugh and Chip Kelly.
That would be Zach Ertz, the Philadelphia Eagles tight end, who was staring at a TV in Ottawa on Friday afternoon, hanging on every pass of the Germany vs. France quarterfinal match and waiting patiently for his girlfriend – U.S. defender Julie Johnston – to take the field against China.
[Women's World Cup: Latest news | Scores and Schedule | Group standings]
"I've evolved into a soccer fan," he said. "Ever since we started dating."
And, yes, that was Ertz's new running buddy, Jrue Holiday of the New Orleans Pelicans, watching right alongside. Holiday is the husband of Lauren Holiday, the American midfielder.
"Depends on in what," she smiled.

A weird little bug that keeps coming up is how ArkInventory tracks guild bank funds. I'm in two guilds on Avilmar -- one I raid with, one that's personal for the tab storage and whatnot. ArkInventory is constantly transposing how much gold is in each guild bank. My personal guild has a little over 500k, the raiding bank has almost 200k. But ArkInventory seems to show them wrong (as each other's total) every other time I log on. Really odd. Not game breaking, mind you, just kind of annoying.
At any rate, thanks for the great addon!

27 year old man | Bastrop, TX, USA | Seeking women 19-24 within 50 miles
Happiness is more valuable than money.
Hello to whom ever is reading this, my name is Nic. I grew up in a small ski resort town in California, was in a graduating class of 67 people, moved to Texas in 2006, and my family has joined me since. I admit that I ask myself why I left Cali, but then I remember that living in Cali meant I had to deal with an average of 50 feet of snow a year, and yes, I said feet. My family is a large part of my life and have been very helpful in my getting through the past few years. If you have any questions I would love to answer them, but a little about me: I recently graduated from Texas State (2012) with a degree in English and my teaching certification. I am getting ready to go back to earn my Masters in the Fall. I grew up skiing. I started at the age of three and was on the mountain ski team for nine years, so not to sound full of my self, but I'm pretty darn good on snow. I love vacationing in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta in particular. I used to run cross country; my best time in the 5k was 21 minutes in the state preliminary at Mount SAC in California. I also love getting out on to the golf course even though my game needs a lot of help. I enjoy fishing though I haven't been fishing since I moved to Texas. I just recently had a brain tumor removed and went through a medically induced coma that lasted a couple weeks, but I recently had a shunt inserted into my head and I have bounced back to a fairly healthy state. I consider myself to be very honest. What I enjoy most of all about my life is my wonderful family and being allowed to go everywhere with my service dog and best friend, Jackson (In my main photo). I'm on match because I don't do the bar scene, so it is hard to meet someone while doing my day to day activities. I don't drink very often. If you are looking for someone to go out and do some bar hoping I'm not the guy you are looking for. I don't care for wine much and I'd rather cook my own meals, but I do consider myself a decent cook especially with chicken or steaks. I am very partial to breakfast food despite the time of day. I really truly do not know what I'm looking for, but I would start with someone who doesn't mind sitting back and relaxing HAS to like dogs as I am rarely without mine; he even goes to school with me. I would like to find someone who can show me around Austin as I haven't been able to explore much of the city yet. Someone who has an interest in traveling outside the U.S. I am currently picking up substitute teaching shifts in an effort to go to Ireland for a study abroad program next year, summer 2014. I tend to be extremely sarcastic, so she would need to know to not take everything I say as serious. I will add I know sarcasm has a time and place, so I know when it would be totally inappropriate. I love a good laugh like most people. I find it extremely easy to laugh at my self and the situations I can get myself in. If I go to downtown Austin it is usually for a concert as I love music, and have music going on constantly, I can't hardly sleep without it. I enjoy all music types. I mostly listen to country and reggae, and I know that sounds like a weird combo. I also love classical instrumentation covers of pop songs (look up Dallas String Quartet if you don't understand that). Well I don't really know what else to say about myself, so I will end this here.
Fishing/Hunting , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Football, Golf, Skiing, Soccer, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I don't exercise regularly.
I have Cats, Dogs, Fish
I like Exotic Pets
I have a golden retriever named Jackson who is also my service dog(mentioned above). I also have a fish tank and black and white cat named Felix. Jackson is the best dog I could have ever asked for and is extremely friendly with all animals.
Favorite place by far Puerto Vallarta Mexico, or my hometown, mammoth lakes, Ca, depending on the season. In Texas I enjoy going to fisherman park here in Bastrop. I would love to go out and wander about Austin one day and get to know my new home.
Texas State University–San Marcos, San Marcos, TX
I enjoy watching soccer both EPL MLS. I listen to all types of music as I stated above. I used to run cross country and would love to start running again. I have fallen in love with photography recently and I enjoy taking photos of nature.
Watching movies swimming golfing I love to go hiking as that was a large part of my growing up in Cali; My health has improved substantially and I would love to get out again and do some of the things that I havent been able to do the last 4 years
Just finished Inheritance, and I just started Inferno by Dan Brown. I have read all the Harry Potter books. I enjoy reading immensely, so if you can recommend a good book, please do!

NSU is the largest Historically Black College or University (HBCU) in Virginia and one of the largest HBCUs in the country. In the fall of 2011, NSU's enrollment of 7,091 students included 6,264 undergraduate students and 827 graduate students. NSU has a total work force of 1,091 people, including 263 full-time faculty members, 688 administrators and full-time staff members, and 140 part-time employees.
NSU offers a wide range of educational programs, including 30 bachelor's degrees, 2 associate's degrees, 16 master's degrees and 3 doctoral degrees. The University comprises eight divisions: the College of Liberal Arts; the College of Science, Engineering and Technology; the School of Business; the School of Education; the Honors College; the Graduate School; the School of Extended Learning; and the Ethelyn R. Strong School of Social Work.
The Economic and Community Impact Study focused on the following four components:
Total Economic Impact
In FY2012, NSU's budgetary expenditures totaled $129 million, including capital and operating expenditures. In addition, NSU students spent $32 million on housing, transportation, books, and various personal items. The total spending associated with NSU resulted in an increase in economic output of $248 million in the Hampton Roads Region. Measured in terms of local economic value-added, NSU's total economic impact on the Hampton Roads Region was
$171 million in FY2012.
Employment Impact
NSU directly employs 1,091 employees. In addition, the University indirectly supported
2,459 jobs and $116 million in labor income in the Hampton Roads Region.
Tax Impact
Economic activities related to NSU created a total tax impact of $32 million in the Hampton Roads Region. This included $24 million in federal taxes and $8 million in state and local taxes.
NSU's Contribution to the Life-Time Earnings of its Graduates
NSU contributes to the local community by helping its graduates obtain better paying employment over the course of their lives than they might otherwise have been able to do. According to the 2010 American Community Survey results, a university education is associated with an approximate increase in life-time earnings of $310,040 for an associate degree holder, $1,003,000 for a bachelor degree holder, and $905,880 for a graduate or professional degree holder, assuming each graduated student works 40 years after graduation. For the cohort of 1,033 students who graduated in 2011, NSU contributes $960 million to their life-time earnings.
Other Social and Economic Impact
There are a number of centers, programs, and organizations affiliated with NSU that generate additional social and economic impact on the local community. The populations served by these centers, programs and affiliates are varied. The population served include returning students, private industry, low-income community members, entrepreneurs, seniors, and disadvantaged youth. Most of these centers, programs, and organizations fall under the umbrella of economic development. Some examples include:
Micro- and Nano-Technology Center
Micro- and Nano-Technology Center (MiNaC) Cleanroom is a 6,000-square-foot cleanroom facility that provides unique processing capabilities in the production of microelectronics and optoelectronics devices on the micro- and nano-scale. The MiNaC comprises NSU's most robust research facility, and extends the on-campus research capabilities into fabrication and development of optical and microelectronics devices for a wide range of applications, including bio-chemical sensing, renewable energy, and neural probes. MiNac is available on a user-fee basis to industry and governmental users from the Hampton Roads Region and beyond. It is the first facility of its kind at one of the nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
The NSU Ernest M. Hodge Institute for Entrepreneurship
The NSU Ernest M. Hodge Institute for Entrepreneurship is a campus-wide Institute. The goal of the Institute is to promote entrepreneurial education and the practice of entrepreneurship. The Institute, originally founded as the Ernest M. Hodge Center for Entrepreneurship, was conceived and funded beginning in 2005 by NSU alumnus Ernest M. Hodge, owner of one of the largest Black-owned businesses in the United States. Institute resources are available to assist alumni and community members as they seek to translate their ideas or technologies into viable commercial ventures.
Center for Materials Research
Norfolk State University's Center for Materials Research (CMR) conducts cutting-edge research in state-of-the-art facilities in the McDemmond Center for Applied Research. CMR faculty members are nationally and internationally renowned researchers dedicated to furthering knowledge in their respective disciplines. Their core research focuses on problems of fundamental and practical importance in cutting-edge materials for telecommunications technologies, laser materials and optical computing; polymers for solar energy applications;
and synthesis of several types of nanomaterials for medical, environmental,
and energy applications.
Classroom and Nursing Building
The new Classroom and Nursing building's location on the NSU campus will further establish the new academic quadrangle anchored by the new Lyman Beecher Brooks Library on one end and the recently opened Student Center on the other. The new 140,286-square-foot facility has a total project cost of $45,269,968 and will feature more than 32 classrooms, five computer labs, 20 group study rooms and 10 nursing and medical technology labs. Also included are 68 faculty and staff offices, three conference rooms, several lounges, a cafe and a new IT help desk. The nursing labs will have 48 beds with 18 of those used for simulation. The simulation area beds will be wired to a dedicated clinical skills observation control room. The classroom and nursing building will include a robust technology infrastructure for student access and state-of-the-art classrooms including five classrooms with virtual teleconferencing capabilities.
Master Plan
The University's master plan calls for the development of the physical plant to accommodate an 8,000 student enrollment. Plans include creating a campus with a defined edge that will provide a much-needed sense of arrival using a gateway aesthetic. Additionally, the campus master plan will address functional zoning areas, develop space allocation, reallocate parking for greater efficiency, establish priorities for existing and future campus buildings, and will provide directional definition for future expansion and potential land acquisitions.
New Entry Gate 1: View from Park Avenue
A proposed entry site plan has been developed with an estimated construction cost of $750,000. The new, elegant campus entrance calls for the creation of a sense of place for all who enter the gates of NSU, giving credence to the motto: Behold, the Green and Gold. The clean, expansive design will employ an overarching gateway that will buffer the internal campus environment from the busy main artery. The entry from Park Avenue will allow those who travel this road to view the proposed campus visitors center through two elegantly designed brick pillars as they pass.

Editorial: Parents, give ASD schools a chance
Chris Barbic, the superintendent of Tennessee's Achievement School District, and his staff have heard an earful from parents and community leaders who don't like the state taking over governance of their neighborhood schools.
That should not be a surprise. Proposals to close schools, revise attendance boundaries or change school policies, for example, nearly always draw the ire and concern of parents.
That is understandable because in many cases, especially in the inner city, schools are the neighborhoods' most visible and functional community anchors. They are places of stability, safety and nurturing for children.
Still, they are not always places where most children are functioning at grade level in reading, language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. The worst of those schools, according to mandated standards, are considered failing schools.
That is why the state's Achievement School District was created by the legislature to take over schools performing in the bottom 5 percent. The ASD can either run them or assign them to a charter school. Five Memphis schools are under ASD jurisdiction this year. The district's Achievement Advisory Council will make recommendations Monday for 10 more Memphis schools to be added to the ASD.
During a visit with The Commercial Appeal editorial board last week, Barbic was clearly in tune with parents' concerns, especially parents of students attending schools that the ASD has identified as "priority" schools. Some of the parents believe their children are making academic progress in these schools and, because of that, can't understand why the schools have been targeted by the ASD.
That may be true in some cases. Yet, ASD leaders said only one in 10 of those students are reading at grade level. At one school, the rate was only one in 20. No matter how that is sliced and diced, it is not acceptable.
Barbic, who ran successful charter schools in Houston before coming to Tennessee, has a point when he says urban school districts are operating outdated models. But at least in Memphis and in the state, a multifaceted reform effort has been under way. The ASD is one of the tools being tried in the effort. It remains to be seen how well it will work.
Still, we urge the parents of the 10 schools that are about to come under ASD governance to give the program a chance. This community cannot afford to keep leaving nine out of every 10 students in the priority schools behind.

It's Tokyo Charlie Brown
If, by now, fans of Alternative Mindz didn't know, I am a huge fan of all things Japanese. I've been to Japan twice and my wife reads, writes and speaks Japanese.
I'm also a huge fan of The Peanuts so having the two together is like Reese's.
I've sung the praises of the new Boom series and how it lives up to Charles Schultz and embodies the spirit and energy of his work.
So, how does this new adventure fit? First off the writer, Vicki Scott, placed segments of actual old strips into the story to meld the world as one, making this book seem like it "fit like a glove" as one of Charles M. Shultz's own.
This story has a familiar theme. Charlie Brown once again fails at everything he does, letting his team down again as their coach and pitcher. This leads to all forms of torture by his peers through name calling. Despite all of this, he receives a letter in the mail to have his team play in Japan.
The reasoning gets lost as to why they are chosen but who cares? Get these kids to Tokyo!
They sprinkle bits of actual Tokyo into the story from images of Tokyo Tower to the "go to" tour bus of all of Tokyo, the Hato bus and more. Yet, they missed a real opportunity at showing the gang like fishes out of water by not taking them to Akihabara (Akiba) with the maid cafes or all the fun electronics, something they would look completely confused by. Also having Snoopy interact in a pachinko parlor is a personal wish.
It would have been something unique to have the game played in the Tokyo Dome. When Lucy makes fun of Chuck's head, I thought we would get a game inside the Tokyo Giants' turf.
Other than my Otaku grip, this is a perfect continuation of all the past "It's ——- Charlie Brown" books and should be read by all who love The Peanuts and who love Japan. It's over 100 pages and a super fast fun read for all ages.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages." ― Friedrich Nietzsche Let's be friends...
I'm a quirky little nerd who loves to study but also loves to cut loose and have some fun. I'm looking for someone who meshes with my personality and fits within my life, a go-getter, a man's man, and a goofy personality. After a week of vagueness with the above two sentences, I think I should be a little more specific. Yes, I love having a great time. I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh, but I am not a party girl. I'm honest, hard-working, loving, and loyal. I want you to contact me only for the right reasons. Not because I'm attractive and fun, but because you want someone with substance as that is exactly what I want. I'm not sure if I want to be married again. At my age, I am comfortable where I am, but I do want a man who adores me and with whom I can be vulnerable. If you're good to me, I'll be good to you Non-negotiables: Age (the younger end of the spectrum) Although I'm youthful at heart, I am a bonified woman. :-) Height (I'm 5'9" for Heaven sakes and live for a beautiful pair of heels) Fellas, much respect to the shorties but I love a tall man. 6'0 is the shortest I'll go.

Although some art historians support the authors' observations, they draw different conclusions. Lev insists that one can't "separate the painting of the chapel and this great vision of man, from the context in which it was painted, which is of course a Christian context -- the pope, this court, the New Testament and Christ."
Blech points out that none of the figures on the ceiling are Christian, suggesting that Michelangelo was straying from traditional Catholic iconography.
"By emphasizing only Old Testament figures in the entire ceiling … what he was trying to say was why we have ignored our true roots."
But not all of the figures are from the Old Testament. Next to the Jewish prophets, Michelangelo painted five pagan sibyls from ancient Greek mythology. Scholars in Renaissance Italy were looking outside the Christian world to bolster their theology. Even in the papal court, theologians were exploring other philosophical and religious traditions.
Despite the unorthodox influences, which he acknowledges could be reflected in the panels' details, Wallace says Michelangelo was a devout Christian.
"Michelangelo does nothing but become more and more profoundly Christian all through his life," Wallace said. "However, this is the moment of exposure to the world of pagan antiquity … which is not in any way contradictory, but complimentary to a Christian theology."
Arnold Nesselrath, curator of the Vatican Museums, dismisses the Kabbalah references.
"Well, we have all to remember that this is the palace chapel, the main chapel of the Vatican palace, and whatever Michelangelo is painting here had to be discussed with the pope and his advisers."
The authors of "The Sistine Secrets" claim that Michelangelo was furious at Pope Julius II, who commissioned the work. Michelangelo was a sculptor, not a painter, and was angry to put his sculpture career on hold to paint frescoes. They say that anger caused the artist to paint hidden references to the corruption of the papacy of his time.
"All these things upset Michelangelo very much. My own personal feeling is that Michelangelo had to get this off his chest," Blech said.
Monsignor Timothy Verdon, art historian at Stanford University, Florence, said, "It's a bit hard to think that Michelangelo could have been deeply concerned with great questions of church reform."
However, scholars agree that the patron and artist had a rocky relationship.
Michelangelo's earliest biographers reported that he threw planks down from the scaffold when the pope tried to sneak a peek at the unfinished ceiling. They also wrote that Julius beat Michelangelo in public. But Wallace believes he would have gotten over it.
"[Michelangelo's] enormously ambitious," Wallace said. "The pope is giving him an opportunity to create one of the greatest works of art of all time."
He concedes that Michelangelo was resistant and even resentful at the start of the project, but does not believe these feelings continued after he began to paint. His patron was the head of the church and "that's plenty to keep you working."

OverviewShingen the Ruler, known in Japan as Takeda Shingen 2, is an NES turn-based strategy game in which the player takes the role of the Japanese warlord Shingen Takeda during the 16th century. The game was published by Hot-B in 1990. The player must build up their forces, form alliances, and do battle with other warlords of the era.In an unusual move, the label on the NES cartridge features an index detailing what each of the abbreviations in the in-game menus stand for. The decision to place such information directly on the cartridge itself is noteworthy due to the fact that when the game was published in North America, the top-loading variant of the NES had yet to exist. At the time, there was no way to read the label while playing the game.

I love my ice cream, especially chocolate. So, I set out to combine two of my favorite things: Craft Beer and Ice Cream. Making ice cream at home can be a challenge. Even though I have an Ice Cream Maker, it can still be difficult to get a consistency that I enjoy. Rock hard after freezing is pain to dish out. The goal with this Beer Ice Cream Recipe is to have more of a soft serve Ice Cream with a boozier finish. After all, if I'm making Ice Cream with Beer then I want to make sure I can taste it, right? Let's get started:
Ingredients for Beer Ice Cream – Chocolate
I definitely had my choices when searching for a particular Stout beer to use with chocolate ice cream. I narrowed it down to Southern Tiers Choklat. This had the higher ABV (10%) that I was looking for, also it is brewed with chocolate so I anticipate this enhancing the chocolate flavors.
- 10 oz : 8% – 10% ABV Stout Beer – Southern Tier Choklat
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 c sugar
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 oz semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 c heavy cream
Beer Ice Cream Recipe Instructions
- Start out by getting your ice water bath ready. Use a large bowl and fill it half way with ice and water. Be sure to use a bowl large enough to hold another 2 quart bowl with your finished mixture inside. Next Go ahead and set aside a 2 quart bowl (heat-safe) with a fine-mesh strainer over top.
- Measure out 10 oz of beer. Use about 5 oz of that beer and place in a small sauce pan. Lightly simmer for 10 minutes. This will reduce to about half. Remove off the heat and add back to your other beer. Stir in the Vanilla Extract and set aside.
- In a large saucepan whisk the sugar, salt and egg yolks until you achieve a smooth consistency. Next add, by whisking, your heavy cream. Cook at medium-low heat for about 5 minutes and stir constantly.
- Remove your pan from the heat and add the cocoa powder while whisking until it is combined. Now it's time to add the chocolate. Continue to stir until melted and smooth.
- Here is the tricky part. Return the saucepan over medium to low heat. Stir often until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency. You should be able to coat that back of a spoon, swipe your finger across and it will leave a visible mark. If you are not careful you can cook your mixture to a point where the eggs will cook like scrambled eggs. Have a thermometer? You will want to register around 170-180 degrees. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Get your strainer and bowl ready, because it's time to remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the chocolate mixture through your strainer into your heat safe bowl. Add to the chocolate base your Beer and Vanilla mixture and stir it in. Next, immediately place your bowl in your ice bath to cool for about 15 minutes.
- Remove your chocolate base from the bath and cover air-tight and stick it in the refrigerator. Leave it there for about 6 hours to overnight (overnight is preferred). This will chill it completely and will be ready for the ice cream maker.
- Next place your mixture in your Ice Cream maker and use the manufacturers instructions. Be sure to store your Beer Ice Cream in your freeze using an air-tight container.
Tip: If you use a regular Imperial Stout (not brewed with Chocolate) feel free to add an Ounce of Chocolate Chips to the recipe. But not necessarily need it. The current recipe packs a good chocolate flavor as is.
How did this turn out for you? Did you use a different beer? Feel free to share your edits and changes with us in the comments.

Early starts best – but late starts possible when raising slow kids
Years ago, when columnist John Rosemond was about to become a grandfather, he wrote a column giving his son, Eric, just two pieces of advice about fatherhood.
Although I am not a Rosemond worshipper by any stretch of the imagination, and cannot even recall the second piece of advice, one piece has remained chiseled into my brain for life.
Rosemond's suggestion to his son? To lock up the TV set until his child entered school.
The idea might seem radical, but it grew out of Rosemond's own difficult experience raising Eric. After learning that he was failing third grade, Rosemond and his wife imposed a number of changes in household rules and routines. Convinced that Eric's TV-watching habit was the chief contributor to his problems, they decided not just to limit the family's viewing; they gave the family TV set away.
The results were dramatic and almost instantaneous, writes Rosemond in his book, Parent Power.
Eric and his sister began playing more creatively and calmly, and sibling conflicts – typically fights over TV shows – lessened remarkably.
"Undoubtedly, some of the improvement was due to the other changes we were making," writes Rosemond. "But I'm convinced that the single most critical variable in Eric's rehabilitation was the sudden and complete absence of television in his life."
Ben Carson, the famed surgeon, tells the story of a similar dramatic turnaround in his own life.
Carson and his brother were raised in poverty on the streets of Detroit by a single, teenage mother who had little education; but she was one smart mom and was determined to raise them right. When her son fell behind in school, she took away both boys' TV privileges and instructed them to read two books a week, write reports, and read them aloud to her (because she couldn't read herself).
Within a year or two, Carson says, he went from being considered "the dumbest kid in fifth grade" to one of the top students in seventh grade. The benefits spilled over into his personal life, and he began to devise ways to outsmart street thugs, deal with racism and keep his temper in check -- eventually going on to Yale and a career as a gifted surgeon and best-selling author.
Leading children to addiction?
Of course, both the Carson and the Rosemond children grew up in an era when TV was the main time-waster and source of addiction for vulnerable children. Today, the gallery of addictive devices has expanded to Nintendos, X-Boxes, PlayStations, computer games and all manner of handhelds and cell phone games. And often, it is the parents themselves buying the items that lead their children to addiction. As Stephen Moore lamented in a 2008 Wall Street Journal column, addiction to video games can turn even "normal, sports-loving adolescents" into demons who rant, rage and curse and throw things when deprived of their toy. "My teenage sons have been abducted, and I want them back," wrote Moore.
After discovering Xbox and online war games, the boys began spending five or six hours at a time in front of the computer screen, said Moore, and "withdrawing ever deeper" into violent fantasy worlds. Other parents told Moore that their children were so addicted that they had stopped bathing and taking bathroom breaks and were skipping meals and foregoing sleep.
"Computer games are the new crack cocaine," said Moore, who said he wished he had never let one in the house. "A mind really is a terrible thing to waste."
Yes, you might say, but what about all the benefits of video and computer games? What about the research that says video games can help train pilots by enhancing eye hand coordination and reaction time?
So I've heard – just as I've heard that video games have been shown to benefit persons with special needs and disabilities.
I still believe that video games have absolutely no place in early childhood, and that any screen time for preschoolers should be parceled out in only the tiniest of doses.
Computer games, video games, TV and other manufactured forms of entertainment are not merely useless when it comes to educating children, or preparing them for school or adulthood. When allowed to replace active, hands-on learning experiences that are crucial to neurological and physical development, they are downright toxic.
It's not the content that harms kids as much as the passive habits induced by too much screen time – especially for the preschool set.
What red-blooded American kid, after all, is going to be motivated to read, explore, or get psyched about school when he's spent his formative years pushing a button and mainlining his entertainment – without making a move?
Taking the right path early
It's not hard to figure out that keeping kids free of screen-time addiction is best done in the early years. And if you start them down the right path when they are toddlers, it's a piece of cake compared to the Rosemond and Carson interventions.
One of the moms who wrote in response to a previous "Slow Kids" column told me that her home is decorated in "Tinker Toys and Legos in various stages of build" – reminding me of my girls' pre-Lego years, when I used to joke that my house was decorated in "Early Fisher-Price."
In the toddler years, all it takes is a few good toys and a little help from parents – okay, some days it's a lot of help! – to get kids into a routine of playing with puzzles and blocks instead of watching TV. (Note, Mom and Dad, that this is easier if the TV is not the focal point of the living area, and is not watched non-stop by adults). I have known some families to keep their TV in a closet or an out-of-the-way room, but my girls' dad wouldn't hear of such a thing, so our television was typically secured in a cabinet with a child lock all day.
I can't begin to list all the benefits of this nearly TV-free lifestyle for my children, but, like Rosemond, I consider it the
central reason that they grew up to be good students, responsible adults and hard workers.
The lack of TV also had some nice, unexpected side effects – such as the minimal amount of begging I heard at holiday time. The other moms in my playgroup complained of relentless whining from their kids for cartoon-inspired and commercially-promoted toys and junk cereals. My kids? They barely knew such things existed.
But perhaps best of all, the absence of TV brought out all the childhood traits that were so enjoyable for me to observe as a parent: the girls' curiosity, initiative and creativity.
I'll never forget the neighbor child who came over one day to play with my six-year-old, and who greeted me by marching to our TV set and flipping it on without a word.
After I had informed her that parents turned on the TV set in our house, and reminded her that she had come to "play," my daughter – realizing that she and her sisters had an extra playmate – launched into one of their make-believe games. I can't remember if the game was "store," "restaurant," "school," or "college girls," but in no time my three were deep in their fantasy – and the neighbor child was watching in open-mouthed astonishment.
Wide-eyed and completely dumbfounded, she looked at me and asked, "What are they doing?"
I felt bad for her – and felt resentment toward parents who would rely so heavily on plug-in toys that their daughter had been deprived of the "let's pretend" experience.
Today, 20 years later, I can't bear to think how many more children are growing up deprived of books, blocks, puzzles and make-believe because their homes are full of gadgets that do the imagining for them. Too often, parents are buying these computer games and gadgets – envisioning them as vehicles for family entertainment, or thinking that having the latest game will keep their kids occupied and or even give them an edge.
So in the next "Slow Kids" column, we'll examine some of the myths surrounding different forms of electronic entertainment, and take a look at the educational value of computer games, videos and lapware.
Till then, here's to the life unplugged!
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.

It's a complicated movie. So here's the gist, in as simply-put terms can be. > Read more.

The character is so over the top that I always imagined the actor playing him would have to keep it fairly understated, to avoid becoming a caricature. Subtle menace, when the lines are delivered with sarcasm.
I think people keep focusing on the witty banter side of his character, and keep forgetting his supposed to be able to stand there and just look at you and have you get an impression of a savage bastard just barely restrained. Browder, Fillion, and anyone from Stargate I can possibly imagine wouldn't be able to pull that off at all.

William Littell Everitt (April 14, 1900 – September 6, 1986) was a noted American electrical engineer, educator, and founding member of the National Academy of Engineering.[1]
Everitt was born in Baltimore, Maryland. From 1918-1919 he served in the United States Marine Corps, then joined Cornell University to study electrical engineering where he received his E.E. degree in 1922. From 1922-1924 he worked at the North Electric Manufacturing Company of Galion, Ohio, on telephony switchboards, then studied electrical engineering at the University of Michigan where he received his M.A. in 1926.[2] He then joined Ohio State University (OSU) as assistant professor, becoming associate professor (1929) and full professor (1933) when he received that institution's Ph.D. under Frederic Blake. His dissertation was entitled The Calculation and Design of Alternating Current Networks Employing Triodes Operating During a Portion of a Cycle. While at OSU he developed the theory of Class B and Class C electronic amplifiers.
In 1940 Everitt was appointed to the National Defense Research Committee's Communications Section, and in 1942 became director of operations research with the United States Army Signal Corps, for which he received the Exceptionally Meritorious Civilian Award (1946). He was then professor of electrical engineering and head of department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1944–49) and dean (1949–68). The Electrical Engineering Laboratory there bears his name.
In his long career, Everitt was a radar pioneer and author of basic texts on radio engineering and communication. He invented automatic telephone equipment, a "time compressor" to accelerate recorded speech, high-power radio amplification, a frequency modulation radio altimeter, and several antenna matching and feeding systems. His textbook Communications Engineering, first published in 1932, was a classic in the field.
Everitt became Institute of Radio Engineers Fellow (1938), President (1945), and received its IEEE Medal of Honor in 1954 "for his distinguished career as author, educator and scientist; for his contributions in establishing electronics and communications as a major branch of electrical engineering; for his unselfish service to his country; for his leadership in the affairs of the Institute of Radio Engineers." He was named to the National Academy of Engineering in 1964. Everitt was also a Fellow of AIEE, and a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Society for Engineering Education, the Acoustical Society of America, Eta Kappa Nu, the National Council of Tau Beta Pi, and Sigma Xi, and received 10 honorary doctorate degrees.

We Need to Put Pressure on Schilling
Getting back home with a "W" from Fenway would have been nice but we can't worry about that now. We know what we are up against and there is not one guy in this clubhouse who doesn't think we can get the job done. Getting back home is going to help, we have responded at home all season and led the league in home wins for a reason. Beyond that, we need to play our game. You saw us play our style of ball in Boston in Game 2 but we just couldn't finish the deal. I think you will see this team come out strong today and hopefully carry some momentum through the series. We need to get pressure on Schilling today. A polished guy like him is going to be prepared for each of our hitters. We need to recognize what he is trying to do out there and capitalize on any mistakes. Getting baserunners early and applying the pressure with our speed is how we do that. That's our game and that's how we are successful. As I said before, getting home helps. The fans here have been great all season, actually they have been great as long as I can remember. We need to feed off the energy from the home crowd and perform on the field.

In a medium-sized pot, stir together a 12-oz. can evaporated milk, a 10 ¾-oz. can tomato soup, an undrained 14 ½-oz. can Italian-style diced tomatoes, and ½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese. Cook over low to medium heat, stirring often, until cheese melts and the soup mixture is completely heated. Pour into a large serving bowl and top with squares of bacon. Place a spring of oregano (or other herb) on top. Serve immediately into individual soup bowls. This is the soup that I chose for Mother's Day dinner. It is very tasty, yet delicate. I hope you enjoy it! --Betty
