Indigenous craft - sustaining visual story telling
August is a month for the celebration and recognition of Australian Indigenous craft, arts and culture. Across Australia this month, from Cairns through Darwin to Perth, as well as at the British Museum in London, are award-winning exhibitions showcasing the vigour and freshness of Indigenous stories and craft.
Torres Strait Island culture is on show in Brisbane and in Cairns, reflected in sculptural works of headdresses, masks, fibre nets, metal cast dugong refined from wood carvings and digital printed textiles, ceramics and jewellery from mixed media including metal, shell and seed pods.
A key movement is the use of 'ghost nets', materials discarded and lost at sea. Indignenous craft has also positioned itself within contemporary art as a means to address the shared history of colonialism in Australia.
Enjoy the stories and issues raised within the interviews, reviews and tale of adventure as Indigenous artists and crafts people discuss their cultural practice across craft media, advocate for first class technical skills and present their conceptual investigations on sustainability.

My 64 gig SSD just isn't cutting the mustard anymore. It's been fast and problem-free, but I need more space for all my games (damn Steam Summer Sale and Humble Bundles). It really sucks loading from a platter drive when you have an SSD, so I've decided to go with a pair of SSDs in a RAID 0 for a bit more speed and space. I'm currently looking at two Mushkin Enhanced Chronos drives for a disk stripe.
The drive-
240 gigs at $115 bucks isn't too bad. A lot of SSDs on Newegg say there's RAID support, but not this drive. Will two of these work? Edit: Went into the specs and it does have RAID support. Opinions on other drives in the same price/performance/size range? Remember that I'm going to be buying at least two drives for this setup.
Last thing, please don't try and dissuade me from a RAID 0. Yes, I know if one drive fails my data goes with it. I'm ordering a WD 1 TB Black drive with these as well. I have plenty of backup and storage space options (7 internal, 1 external as of now) so loosing my games and a Windows install is no big deal. I just want the speed with more space for games.
Relevant specs-
Antec 1200
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3
Core i7 2600k @ 4.0 GHz
GeForce GTX 760
Seasonic X 650 Gold
Too many hard drives

Exceptional 1893 Morgan, PR67 Cameo1893 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC. The 1893 proof Morgan dollar is a popular issue due to its association with the low-mintage business strikes for the year--378,000 pieces, in the case of the Philadelphia coin. Accompanying were the 792 proofs of the issue. This piece displays considerable field-device contrast that complements the generous eye appeal. The centers are mostly brilliant, with dark lavender, gray, and gold toning at the peripheries and considerable field reflectivity that shows through the toning. The strike is sharp in most areas, but a bit of softness that appears above the ear is not uncommon on this issue. There are no singular contact marks. Of the five PR67 Cameo examples certified at NGC, this is the lone example to achieve the covered Star designation for superior eye appeal (6/10).(Registry values: N4719) (PCGS# 87328)

Looks like someone jumped the gun in their report that Arian Foster will 'likely' undergo a heart procedure to fix an irregular heart beat that existed since he was a child. That person, Alex Flanagan of the NFL Network, reported the news on Thursday, and everyone ran with it, including us. "Thank you for all the concern," Foster, flanked by GM Rick Smith, said during an appearance on Radio Row, via the Houston Chronicle. "As of now, I have no complications with my blood pumper. I have not, nor do I plan, any time in the near future to have conversations with my doctors about any surgery." "There was a casual conversation with a reporter about my particular condition that turned public," Foster said. "I am feeling well and am as exuberant as ever." GM Smith added, "We're comfortable with where he is.... our medical team continues to monitor it. He missed one-half of a practice and one-half of a game, and our doctors treated him. … He's fine." var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

I'll have a Virgo baby girl... :-) What are they like? :-) Horoscope. :-))
Comments (10)
This will be my second Virgo, my youngest is a girl. She is sweet as can be, she is cuddley, lovey, smart, sassy as can be! She is very imaginative, creative, artistic and just an all around amazing little girl. I wasn't sure what to expect with a Virgo either but she sure has surprised me!
Proud mama to 4 beautiful kids....I'd have a clean house, more money and my sanity...but my heart would be empty.
5/13/04, 3/07/07, 9/17/08, 9/15/12
Miscarried 1-3-11
Hope that helps :-)
I'm one! And so is my mom, and a handful of my other family members and friends (I guess December is a busy month..)
I don't really believe in astrology but I do believe that the time of year a child is born has an impact on their personality. In September everyone is going back to school, the holidays are over and there is less of the socializing and relaxing that takes place in the summer. I find June-August babies can be really carefree and social, whereas I think that September babies pick up on people's changing attitudes and develop certain traits. They tend to be organized and responsible, clean and tidy (I don't think it's a coincidence that every virgo I know, including myself, is a cleaning nut!) creative, sensitive and empathetic. Of course this doesn't apply to everyone, but I think there are a lot of people who sort of fit the description of their birth sign.
dh is a virgo...and he has very strong emotions. not bipolar like, but it all seems a lot more obvious that with others. He is also pretty frivilous, which works since im a capricorn. i make sure he gets work done before play, and he makes sure i dont forget to have fun. =] opposites do attract, and balance eachother out.

Joining Hughes at the state conference were Ticonderoga representatives Joe Gonyeau, Miranda Davis, Will Lawrie, Katie Palandrani, Kevin Densmore, Karney Manning and Chris Burns. Katie Palandrani, a Ticonderoga sophomore, received a CONA alternate nomination for 2012.
Ticonderoga students shined at the conference, according to Danielle Hughes, Ti Youth and Government adviser.
"Every year, Ticonderoga is one of the smallest delegations that travels to Albany, but they are always recognized in some capacity for their passion for the program or outstanding work while there," the adviser said. "And, Ticonderoga's members are dedicated and involved not only in the Youth and Government program but in their school and local communities."
The Youth and Government program at Ticonderoga High School has a long history. Hughes is the second youth governor from Ti High in the last 15 years.
"Many Ticonderoga students have held a variety of positions through the years, many bills on issues of land, education and criminal offenses have been proposed by Ticonderoga students and many lessons of participatory democracy have been shared," said adviser Hughes. "For many of Ticonderoga's Youth and Government members, participation in the yearly Albany conference in the legislative chambers the New York State Capitol Building has been an experience that often ranks as one of the highlights of their high school careers."
While Paige Hughes serves as youth governor, she intends to continue her other activities at Ti High. She is a member of National Honor Society, Key Club, Student Voice, Yearbook, College for Every Student mentoring program, Spanish Club, band, chorus and soccer team. She recently represented Ticonderoga Central School at a round table meeting with New York State Commissioner of Education Dr. David M. Steiner and was the school's representative to the League of Women Voters Students Inside Albany program.

BW 015 "Shippou Gym Battle! VS Gym Leader Aloe!!"
Satoshi and his friends have solved the perplexing riddle of the museum and met the Gym Leader Aloe. Now, the time for the gym battle has come! However, even though he's finally made it to the battle field, Satoshi has to answer to a mission from Aloe! Perplexed by this new development, Satoshi takes to the battle field. It's the Shippou City Gym's style to tell its challengers the pokemon the gym leader will be using to see how they react, so Aloe loudly declares that she'll be using the normal-type pokemon Meeruhog and Yorterrie. Satoshi clutches the Monster Balls containing the two pokemon he'll be using for the battle and begins! The first pokemon Aloe sends out is the "puppy pokemon" Yorterrie! Satoshi, on the other hand, sends out Pokabu. An unbelievable battle between Satoshi and Aloe unfolds...!

DENVER - NOVEMBER 14: Offensive lineman Chris Kuper of the Denver Broncos blocks against Jovan Belcher of the Kansas City Chiefs at INVESCO Field at Mile High on November 14, 2010 in Denver, Colorado. The Broncos defeated the Chiefs 49-29. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
The estate or guardian of the infant of the Chiefs player who killed her mother before turning a gun on himself will receive more than $1 million under terms of the NFL's collective-bargaining agreement. Jovan Belcher's 3-month-old daughter, Zoey, stands to receive $108,000 annually over the next four years, $48,000 in the fifth year and then $52,000 each year until age 18. She'll continue to receive that amount until age 23 if she attends college. The beneficiary of Belcher, who was in his fourth season, also will receive $600,000 in life insurance, plus $200,000 for each credited season. There is also $100,000 in a retirement account that will go to his beneficiary or estate. Players' beneficiaries are kept confidential. The current collective bargaining agreement was ratified in August 2011.

New Mexico State
Preview 2008 - Defense
2008 NMSU Preview
2008 NMSU Offense
2008 NMSU Defense
2008 NMSU Depth
2007 NMSU Offense Preview
2006 CFN New Mexico
What you need to know:
Last year the
idea was to generate more big plays and create more problems. It
didn't happen as the defense was one of the worst in America and
did nothing to force pressure or turnovers. That should change,
for good and bad, under new defensive coordinator Joe Lee Dunn,
whose 3-5-3 scheme will send the linebackers into the backfield
early and often, while also asking them to drop back into pass
coverage. That means the corners will more often than not be on
an island, while the defensive line's job will be to hold up
against the run. The secondary should be a strength with corners
Davon House and Chris Woods, along with safety Derrick
Richardson, all decent, while the line will be a work in
progress. In this defense, it's all about the linebackers, and
the JUCO transfers, led by Nick Paden, have to be ready to roll
from the start.
Derrick Richardson, 108
Chris Nwoko, 3
Interceptions: Davon House, 4
Star of the defense: Senior FS Derrick Richardson
Player who has to step up and become a star: Junior CB
Chris Woods
Unsung star on the rise: Junior LB Nick Paden
Best pro prospect: Paden
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Richardson, 2) CB Davon
House, 3) Paden
Strength of the defense: Corners
Weakness of the defense:
Production, defensive line
Defensive Line
Projected Starters: In the new system, it'll mostly be up to the
linebackers to make the big plays, but the front three has to hold its
own. It'll start with the one returning starter, 6-4, 280-pound junior
Ryhan Anderson, a former walk-on who's now on scholarship.
A transfer from Miami, he ended up starting every game at left end
making 12 tackles and two tackles for loss. He's not a pass rusher, so
he has to use his bulk as more of a run stopper.
One of the defense's most
important players could be junior Sioeli Fakalata, a
312-pounder who saw time in every game behind Ray Manuamaleuna
on the nose. He had a nice year making 20 tackles with two sacks
and three tackles for loss, and while he'll be a decent interior
pass rusher now that he has a bigger role, his job will be to
anchor the front seven.
The right end spot, previously manned by Brandon McKinney, will
be open, but the best option could end up being 6-4, 257-pound
Chris Romero, an undersized tackle by trade who was a
decent pass rusher for Snow College over the last two seasons.
He'll have to be able to do more against the run, but he has the
potential to make an instant impact.
Projected Top Reserves: The depth is thin at
defensive end, so it'll be up to 6-2, 245-pound senior Oren
Long to play more of a role after making five tackles and a
tackle for loss. He wasn't used much, but he's one of the few
backups with any appreciable experience. Sophomore Kawika
Shook, a 6-3, 260-pounder, is one of the only other ends on
the roster, but he has yet to see the field.
6-3, 256-pound Jonathan Davis comes from the JUCO ranks
and needs to be a factor right away as a pass rusher. For a
defense that couldn't get into the backfield, the former Feather
River College star has to be a force at getting to the
While end is an issue, the Aggies are more solid at tackle with
several prospects able to move in and out between the nose and
what's called an end, but is really a tackle spot in the new
defense. That means 5-9, 310-pound bowling ball Ana
Tuiasosopo has to play a big role after redshirting last
Watch Out For ... a steady rotation of players to
find the right combination. Any sacks or tackles for loss from
this group would be gravy, but there might not be enough sheer
size to be the run-stuffing front three the D needed it to be.
Strength: Versatility. Because of what the Aggies
do with their defensive front, outside of the pure nose tackles,
several players can step in and play inside or out.
Weakness: Getting into the backfield. Unless
someone comes from out of the blue, like JUCO transfer Jonathan
Davis, and turns into a pass rusher, there won't be a whole
bunch of pressure from this group.
Outlook: The line was night-and-day better last
season than it had been in several years, but that was because
of experience. Not only were there steady starters, but plenty
of quality backups to count on. No, it wasn't a brick wall and
it didn't do enough to get into the backfield, but considering
how abysmal the line was for so long, last season was a big
improvement. This year's front three needs to find consistent
playmakers with only one proven player, Ryhan Anderson,
returning, and he's an average talent at best. This will be a
major work in progress all season long.
Rating: 3.5
Projected Starters: It's all about the JUCO transfers to run Joe
Lee Dunn's 3-5-3 system. The star of the show should be Nick
Paden, a 6-3, 235-pound hitting machine who made 71 stops
with five sacks and ten tackles for loss for Butte Junior
College. Able to play any linebacker position, he's active
enough to wreak havoc on the outside, and strong enough stuff
things up inside. With his 4.5 speed, he's more likely to be
turned loose as a pass rushing hybrid of defensive end and
outside linebacker.
While not nearly as heralded as Paden, Jason Scott was
another nice JUCO pickup who'll be asked to pay immediate
dividends. He's a safety-sized 5-10 and 200 pounds making 88
tackles for Pasadena CC last year, and while he might not be
huge, he's a sure-thing open-field tackler who'll find a role
somewhere in the mix early on.
Senior Jamar Cotton started
out the year on the outside, and then he was limited by an ankle
injury that limited his role over the second half of the season.
He finished with 35 tackles, but he showed tremendous pass
rushing ability coming up with five quarterback hurries. Now
that he's healthy, he'll be asked to come up with a big season
doing a little bit of everything.
Back for a role of some sort is 6-4, 253-pound senior La'Auli
Fonoti, a good-sized outside defender who made 63 tackles
two sacks and seven tackles for loss. While he has the size to
be a playmaker against the run, he also has the athleticism to
be decent in pass coverage and an occasional pass rusher.
Also returning is 6-1, 230-pound
senior Chris Nwoko, who played most of last season in the
middle but can also see time on the outside. Never healthy over
the second half of last year, he still finished fourth on the
team with 67 tackles and three sacks with five tackles for loss.
With his combination of side, quickness and experience, he
should flourish in the new system.
Projected Top Reserves: 6-1, 221-pound Justen
Alford comes in from Feather River College after making 78
tackles last year. He's good in pass protection and should be
used as a pass rusher from several different spots, but he's not
going to be a top hitter against the run. Even so, he'll be in
on more than his share of tackles.
It's time now for last year's top
recruit, Jeff Lucas, to become a star. While he's only
6-1 and 215 pounds, he's a good prospect who had several other
options out of high school. He made 125 tackles his senior year
and was ranked by most scouting services as a top 75 linebacker
An interesting prospect still
waiting to hit the field, former JUCO transfer Derek Hinkley
has size, tremendous speed, and the potential to put up big
numbers. After starting out his career at the University of San
Diego, he got hurt, moved on to Grossmont College, and became a
star for the JUCO national champion. Able to play inside or out,
he'll be a versatile defender who'll get a long look at several
Watch Out For ... the dogs to be turned loose. Joe
Lee Dunn's defense is all about sending the linebackers from all
angles, while asking them to do plenty in pass coverage. If
nothing else, this group will be active.
Strength: Versatility. With four to five
linebackers on the field in some role, the more options to play
around with, the better. The coaching staff will use the entire
off-season to figure out where to put the pieces, and
fortunately, almost all of the prospects can play inside and
Weakness: Veterans. The JUCO transfers will
provide immediate experience, but not at the FBS level. The D
losses 124 tackles, four sacks and 12 tackles for loss with the
graduation of Dante Floyd in the middle, and losing Michael
Brewer doesn't help. Forget about any experienced depth.
Outlook: The linebackers will be the statistical
stars of the defense, but can any of them actually play? The
lack of big-time talent will be made up for with one of the
WAC's most aggressive defenses that'll make the linebackers do a
little bit of everything. The key will be finding the right
combination early on, but it could take a few games before the
five players are found for the Joe Lee Dunn system.
Rating: 4
Defensive Backs
Projected Starters: The corners will be under intense pressure
in the new defensive system, meaning sophomore Davon House
and junior Chris Woods have to come through with big
seasons. Woods started every game at right corner breaking up
seven passes while becoming a steady tackler. Even though he's
only 5-10 and 180 pounds, he's a good hitter making 57 stops
last season, but he won't be asked to make as many plays against
the run. Left on an island, he has to do more when the ball is
in the air.
The 6-0, 168-pound House took over the starting left corner job
in the second half of the year and had a nice true freshman
season making 37 tackles with a team-leading four interceptions
and eighth broken up passes. Against Idaho, he took a pick 100
yards for a score in the 45-31 win, and later took an
interception 64 yards. He's going to be the team's number one
corner, and he needs to play like it with little safety help
coming his way.
Back for his third year as the starting free safety spot is
senior Derrick Richardson, who made 71 tackles as a
sophomore and was second on the team with 108 tackles last year.
With tremendous athleticism and great range, he'll be in charge
of doing even more against the pass while getting the freedom to
roam against the run. While he's not that big at 5-11 and 190
pounds, he can hit.
Projected Top Reserves: Pushing for time at both
corner spots will be will be true sophomore Alphonso Powell,
who spent last year as a key backup and special teamer making
eight tackles and breaking up a pass. He's only 5-9 and 176
pounds, but he can move with the quickness to step in and be a
factor at either job.
Senior Vince Butler is a veteran backup who saw five
starts at corner finishing with 29 tackles with a sack and a
broken up pass. He was excellent in the loss to Auburn, but
overall he didn't do enough against the speed receivers and got
pushed around a bit. Even so, he'll be a key factor in the
A big hitter and a good athlete, sophomore Kenny Evora is
due to be a huge playmaking safety. More of a strong safety than
a free safety, he's 6-4 and 218 pounds with the size to move to
one of the hybrid linebacker spots, while he has the speed to be
a playmaker against the pass if he gets a little time to
develop. The former wide receivers was hurt in 2006, only got on
the field once last year, and now has to live up to his
Watch Out For ... the lineup to change several times
and several ways. This is a young group with a slew of unproven
players like Ben Bradley, Baer Philipbar and Marvin Betts, and a
career special teamer in Brennan Baiamonte, who'll rotate in
depending on the situation.
Strength: Corner. The secondary got roasted last
year, but there wasn't any pass rush and Davon House was a
freshman and Chris Woods a sophomore. These two form a
potentially strong tandem who'll grow into their jobs over the
next few years.
Weakness: Youth. The coaching staff didn't recruit
for the secondary, so it's all about the youngsters to step up
and become factors. The pass defense hasn't done much of
anything over the last few years, and that's a huge issue in the
Outlook: The pass rush hasn't been there for the
last several years to provide any sort of help, and now that
shouldn't be a problem with the new scheme certain to generate
more pressure. Now the problem will be a general lack of help
for the corners, with linebackers being asked to drop back in
coverage on the short to midrange passes and the corners to
handle the deep passes. While there should be more production,
the secondary will also give up more than its share of really
big plays, even with three decent veterans in Chris Woods and
Davon House on the outside, and good-tackling Derrick Richardson
at safety.
Rating: 5
Special Teams
Projected Starters: The Aggies were looking for kicking help
over the last few years, and they finally got it in junior Paul Young,
who connected on 12 of 18 field goals with two getting blocked. He
doesn't have a huge leg, but he's decent from inside 40 yards.
The punting game was lousy netting 32.92 yards per kick, but Jared
Kaufman wasn't bad averaging 41.1 yards per kick and putting 11 inside
the 20. Sophomore Kyle Hughes, an option at placekicker, has a
good-sized leg and will get every shot to take over the starting punting
Sophomore Wes Neiman will get a shot as the main return man, but
WR Chris Williams will be in the mix for punt returns. Neiman
only got three of punt return chances averaging seven yards per try, and
averaged a mere 14.8 yards per kickoff return.
Watch Out For ... Chris Williams to be in the mix as
a return man again. He averaged 23.2 yards per kickoff
return and 15.3 yards per punt return as a sophomore, and he averaged
16.7 yards per punt return and 23.2 yards per kickoff return last year
before getting hurt. However, he might be too valuable as a receiver to
use as a full-time returner.
Strength: The potential of the return game.
Williams has All-America return ability, but ...
Weakness: ... will he get a shot? The Aggies only
forced nine punts last season, compared to 28 boots from the Aggie. The
kickoff coverage team was solid, but the punt coverage was lousy.
Outlook: The special teams have slowly but surely
started to improve ... a little. The field goal kicking has gotten
better, and the punt coverage has gotten worse. Considering the defense
will always be an issue, it would be nice to get more from the punting
game. As long as Chris Williams is returning kicks, the return game will
be fantastic.

Starting over three years ago, what began as a simple question about a curious photo turned into an intensive search. My self-initiated challenge became to try to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt the circumstances surrounding a photo of a very young Stan Musial. In it, The Man, then still a very young man, wore a St. Louis Cardinals jersey that was clearly not his trademark number 6. His cap was of the bird design used in 1941, rather than the 1942 StL logo cap. The photo's sheer existence, which led to the discovery of several others in which Musial was also wearing the number 19, created conflict. A significant number of well-respected sources, including Musial himself via his biography, stated that the future Hall of Famer only wore the number 6 during his 22 years with St. Louis. Then how did this photo come to be? My tasks were related but distinct – to determine both when and where the photo was taken. The recent passing of the greatest St. Louis Cardinals player of all t...

Boetsch ends Lombard's streak, wins split decision at UFC 149
Tim "The Barbarian" Boetsch Vs. Hector Lombard
Fight was scheduled for 3 rounds (5x5x5)
Tim Boetsch defeated Hector Lombard by Split Decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

That was a very strange and extremely boring fight, but still, that decision is ridiculous. Tim basically did nothing throughout the entire fight. At least Lombard landed a few good strikes and secured one powerful takedown.
7/23/12 5:50 AM by stonepony
Good analysis. That was my impression. It's like somebody going through a whole camp to prepare for Anderson Silva, only for Anderson to come out doing nothing but wrestling... Lomard was gassed after the first round. And, he'd thrown a couple punches? He was breathing heavy and his corner was in cardio management mode, telling him to breath.
7/22/12 10:33 PM by rosario00
Lombard won but he deserves the loss for fighting tentatively for fear of gassing.. Yet he didn't even pull the trigger at the end
7/22/12 10:28 PM by gridlor
Lombard didn't even come close to living up to the hype. Even Joe Rogan was running out of excuses for him.
7/22/12 10:13 PM by nhbguy
Hector can't be too upset based on his performance, but i have no idea how that fight was scored for Boetsch, who did even less than Lombard. I wonder if judges were influenced by the fact that many people thought Lombard would dominate and ended up scoring rounds for Boetsch because he did better than expected. Lombard shook off Boetsch's takedown attempts, hurt him with the liver kick, scored the only big takedown of the fight, I don't recall Tim ever landing anything significant.Again, it wasn't a good fight and Lombard has only himself to blame, but I still don't see how Boetsch won that fight.
7/22/12 10:00 PM by Jumbo Reverse Shrimp
This was more effective than all of Boetsch's techniques combined.
7/22/12 9:57 PM by Jumbo Reverse Shrimp
Here's Boetsch maintaining the distance and working his game plan. Brutal low kicks. Aldo would be proud.
7/22/12 9:49 PM by Hardykilledmykitten
haha, thanks, likewise. Hey, I think Hector has tons of potential to win fights and finish them, he just didn't make the attempt last night. I've enjoyed the hell out of watching him for the last few years. I was heavily disappointed. It works the same though for Hector. It's a big stage. Plain and simple. He seemed timid to get gassed against a guy who jumps on guys who have been worn down. He never pulled the trigger, never got tired. You can see the guy in small glimpes could have possibly knocked Tim into next month. Maybe not. Maybe Tim's plan would have succeeded with a blitz. I just wish I could have seen that fight to find out and to have enjoyed it.
7/22/12 9:01 PM by MRG1
finally someone else who saw what ACTUALLY happened. voted up, sir.
7/22/12 8:21 PM by Hardykilledmykitten
Reminds me of very much of Condit/Diaz. Butthurt for someone to call this even a close fight. It wasn't. Oh hey, let me start a thread saying ease off of Lombard, Lombard got robbed, etc. GTFO. And then people want to shit on Tim. Tim Boetch prepared for a highly explosive guy who was going to blitzkrieg him. That guy never showed up once. Tim was obviously making heavy use of distance makers like the push kick and movement. In fact Tim followed his gameplan to a t, it just didn't look all that great because it was for a guy with a 26 fight winning streak who was going to rush him. Bullshit to shit on Tim for his performance. Boetch initiated practically everything. /

Transitioning from the National League to the American League can be difficult for a pitcher. This is especially true for a player like Ryan Dempster, who spent the first 14 1/2 seasons of his career in the NL before being traded to the Rangers midway through last season. The league switch gave Dempster some problems, as the right-hander's ERA more than doubled from 2.25 in 16 starts with the Cubs to 5.09 in 12 starts with Texas. He remains in the AL but comes into this season — his first in Boston — with a renewed sense of confidence. Jerry Remy joined Red Sox First Pitch on Tuesday to preview Dempster's first start in a Red Sox uniform. Check it out in the video above.

The Green Bay Packers released defensive end Anthony Hargrove on Friday. Hargrove, a former New Orleans Saint, is on suspension for eight games because of his role in the "bounty gate" scandal. Howard Balzer of The Sports Xchange and SiriusXM NFL Radio first reported the move. The Packers would not have had to use up a roster spot if they kept Hargrove since he is suspended for the first eight games of the season. Hargrove was cut by the Saints after last season. Green Bay also announced that it let go of wide receiver Andrew Brewer, safety Micah Pellerin, tackle Herb Taylor and cornerback Dion Turner.

MSF Projects in Yemen (June 2015)
Crisis Update: May 18, 2015
The conflict in Yemen currently has the country divided between the Houthi movement, supported by former president Saleh, which controls the north of the country (including the capital Sana'a) and continues its southward advance, and an anti-Houthi coalition based mainly in the South. President Hadi of the transitional government fled to Saudi Arabia in March.
Yemen: Latest MSF Updates
- Yemen: An Update from an MSF Doctor in Khameer
- "We Have to Forget About Our Pain": Working Through the Conflict in Yemen
- A Day at MSF's Hospital in Aden, Yemen
- Yemen: Lack of Fuel Prevents Access to Medical Care
- NPR's All Things Considered: Aid Workers Face Challenges In Yemen As Humanitarian Crisis Continues
A coalition of mainly Gulf states led by Saudi Arabia started airstrikes against the Houthi on March 26, with the declared aim of stopping the advance of the Houthi and to reinstate President Hadi. The Houthi are seen by Saudi Arabia as a proxy group for Iran. Other countries participating in this Saudi-led coalition against the Houthi are Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Sudan. Other countries, including the USA, are providing logistics and intelligence support.
While the political struggle unfolds, civilians are caught in the crossfire. The UN reports that in the month up to April 25 at least 1,080 people have been killed, over 4,350 have been injured, and 150,000 have been displaced, though MSF is unable to confirm this information.
MSF is responding to the needs of civilians affected by violence. There are currently 31 international and 534 Yemeni MSF staff on the ground. MSF has received more than 1,600 war-wounded in Aden, Amran, Hajja, and Al-Dhale'. It remains extremely difficult to move within the country to evaluate needs and provide assistance, due to the fighting and the airstrikes. MSF has brought more than 100 tons of humanitarian aid to the facilities it is running and supporting in Yemen.
Haradh Town (Hajjah Governorate, Northern Yemen)
On March 30, 34 wounded people were brought to the MSF-supported hospital in Haradh after the attack on Al-Mazraq IDP Camp. Between April 21 and April 24 airstrikes and shelling in Haradh district caused 11 deaths and 67 injuries. The 67 wounded patients were treated by MSF medical staff in Haradh public hospital. The latest attack took place on the night of April 24, when several shells hit Haradh town. Large pieces of shrapnel landed less than 30 meters from Haradh public hospital as medical staff received the first wounded. Nine injured arrived at the hospital; two of them died. The attacks have provoked a mass movement of population, with most of Haradh town's remaining inhabitants abandoning their homes. The majority of staff and patients at the hospital have also fled.
The MSF team has been supporting Haradh hospital in the emergency room and the operating theater, and providing fuel and water, although it has been forced to evacuate several times .
Aden and the South
MSF is running independently an Emergency Surgical Hospital—within Al-Sadaqa Hospital compound in Sheikh Othman district—and has been supporting Crater Health Center with medication and fuel for the power generator. Since March 19, MSF has received more than 1,000 injured in Aden. The hospital includes sections of emergency, operating theater, inpatient department, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, x-ray, laboratory, and pharmacy. Soon, MSF will start outpatient surgical mobile clinics starting to provide outpatient care to surgical patients who cannot access MSF hospital for outpatient medical care.
MSF is supporting the emergency room, operating theater, and maternity departments of Al Jumhuri hospital in Sa'ada town with an international and national medical team. MSF is also supporting Haidan Health Center with a doctor, referral system, and medications, and is planning further support for the facility.
MSF has been providing urgent support during emergencies to local hospitals through MoH. Following the blast in Noqum Mountain on May 11, MSF provided emergency materials and medications to Al-Thawra and Al-Jumhori Hospitals. MSF has similarly responded to several emergencies in Sana'a since the beginning of 2015.
Amran Governorate
Since last week, MSF started providing general consultations in mobile clinics for IDPs who fled their homes from several Yemeni areas. More than 320 general consultations were provided and the activity is still ongoing. In addition, MSF has provided support in several IDPs locations. The support included providing water tanks, water supplies, non-food items, and hygiene kits for more than 500 IDP families located in 12 locations in Khamer. The IDP support activities also included health promotion among IDPs and cleaning the sewage system in the Central Market of Khamer.
MSF is actively supporting lifesaving and healthcare services to the patients in 12 departments of the MoH Al-Salam Hospital in the sections of emergency room, intensive care unit, surgical operations, pediatrics and in-patient therapeutic center, hospitalization, neonatal unit, delivery room, antenatal care, blood bank, laboratory, vaccination, and the dressing room. MSF is also supporting Huth Health Center with medications, oxygen, logistic equipment, human resource support, and electricity and referral system.
Ad Dhale Governorate
MSF is still providing life-saving healthcare services in MoH Al-Nasser Hospital in Al-Dhale. The support includes emergency room, surgery, post-operative care, sterilization, laboratory, infection control, health care waste management, and referrals.
In addition, MSF is supporting Al-Azarik Health Center in the emergency room, antenatal care, postnatal care, family planning, normal deliveries, EPI, nutrition, and referrals to Al-Nasser Hospital. In Qataba, MSF supports the emergency room, observation room, laboratory, and health care waste management in MOH Al-Salam Hospital. MSF is also supporting several health centers and Jaffea and Al-Habilain Hospitals with medical supplies and equipment in the governorate.
MSF is supporting IDPs with water, non-food items distributions, and general medical consultations in the Health Center of Bani Hashim district. MSF also provided emergency and life-saving services for injured in Haradh Hospital.
MSF has provided material support, emergency medications, and surgical supplies to Al-Jumhori and Al-Rawdah hospitals that have received people affected by violence in the recent and ongoing conflict. An MSF team is on the ground assessing further support required.
Medical Donations
MSF has made donations of medical supplies to hospitals in Sana'a, Aden, Saadah, Abyan, Taiz, and Lahj governorates since the start of the conflict.
In Lahj governorate, MSF donated dressing materials, IV fluids, anesthesia drugs, and oxygen to Habylyn hospital. Teams are planning to send another donation to Habylyn and Yaffa hospital in the coming days, as they are running out of some supplies. Donations were also sent to hospitals in Taiz.
Why are we there?
- Armed conflict
- Displacement
- Massive flow of migrants
MSF in Yemen:
This is an excerpt from MSF-USA's 2013 Annual Report:
There was a significant deterioration in living conditions in parts of Yemen in 2013, and insecurity towards the end of the year affected availability and accessibility of healthcare.
Insecurity affected programs supported by MSF, further cutting people off from healthcare, and activities had to be suspended twice in Amran and once in Aden.
Over 150 Yemeni patients were sent from Yemen to MSF's reconstructive surgery program in Amman, Jordan, which provides orthopedic, maxillofacial, and reconstructive plastic surgery.
MSF continued to work in Ad-Dali governorate, but problems with security caused significant disruptions to the provision of healthcare there at the end of the year. Food shortages and maternal and child health are of great concern in the area.
Teams worked with local communities, both rural and urban, providing care for victims of violence and trauma. Emergency services, including surgery, were available at the Al Naser general hospital, Ad-Dali city, and patients received basic healthcare and lifesaving surgery in Al Azaraq and Qataba'a districts. More than 41,704 consultations were carried out.
Aden and the south
In Aden, more than 2,500 surgeries were performed and 860 patients received post-surgery follow-up and physiotherapy at MSF's emergency surgical unit, which treated victims of violence from Aden as well as the nearby governorates of Lahj, Abyan, Shabwah, and Ad Dhale. A weekly clinic was run for inmates at Aden central prison, and 80 patients were seen each month.
Staff support and supplies were provided to hospitals in Lawdar and Jaar in Abyan governorate. Teams also trained emergency room staff and sterilization technicians.
Amran governorate
Access to healthcare decreases progressively in the rural areas of Amran governate and ceases to exist for communities in the valleys. At Al-Salam hospital, Khamir, MSF is involved in the emergency, surgery, maternity, pediatric, inpatient, and intensive care departments, and collaborates closely with the Ministry of Health to improve medical services. Support is also provided for the blood bank and laboratory. There was a dramatic rise in surgery patients towards the end of the year after violence intensified in the governorate. More than 1,940 surgical procedures were performed, and 4,080 people were admitted to hospital. Teams carried out 21,980 emergency consultations.
MSF resumed its support of the Huth health center in March, after six months' suspension for security reasons. A team provided emergency, maternity, and inpatient care. In September, Huth became a stabilization center for managing large influxes of wounded people, providing emergency care and a referral system.
To assist the communities in remote areas with very limited access to healthcare, teams ran mobile clinics in the Osman and Akhraf valleys, carrying out 5,350 consultations and treating 427 patients for malaria.
Caring for migrants in Sana'a
MSF began providing HIV care to people in Sana'a in 2013. A mental health program for migrants in detention also started in April.
Program handovers
In February, MSF handed over activities at the Radfan hospital, Lahj governorate, to the Ministry of Health. A program offering healthcare at Haradh, Hajjah governorate was closed in August.
At the end of 2013, MSF had 459 staff in Yemen. MSF has worked in the country since 1986.
Patient story
Mohamed, from Shabwah
My nephew was shot during gunfire in Shabwah. There was no hospital … nothing in the area. The only place we could bring him was here [MSF hospital in Aden]. We sincerely thank MSF for the unconditional medical care they offered to him and to everybody in this hospital.

The lead prosecutor in the case, Henry John Woodcock, 39, has introduced a parade of celebrities, businessmen and showgirls for questioning in the case. Daily papers report abundantly, if not gleefully, on developments.
The case has led regulators to toughen privacy rules and threaten journalists with jail. Several weeks ago, Italy's privacy regulator ruled that magazines which feature the sexual and other exploits of the rich and famous must stop spreading gossip that is not strictly in the public interest.
Journalists face sentences of between three months and two years if they publish news that invades people's privacy, especially of a sexual nature, according to a Reuters report.
The scandal reached the highest level of Italian politics when a newspaper identified one victim of the blackmail scam as Silvio Sircana, the spokesman for Prime Minister Romano Prodi's government. It became public news after Sircana was caught on camera pulling over and chatting with a transsexual prostitute through the passenger side window.
Prodi said Sircana was "victim of an attack that is not worthy of a serious country."
Even Berlusconi, who has often complained of being the victim of abuse by the media, condemned the episode. "The way things are going, it's the victims of blackmail who are being put in the dock," he said, according to Reuters..
Sentiment against the paparazzi may have turned a decade ago after the death of Princess Diana, who was being chased by photographers on motorcycles when her car smashed into a tunnel in Paris.
In the United States, more celebrities have been suing (and punching out) paparazzi and taking steps to keep them away. California passed a law in 2005 to help protect the glitterati from the pack. The law came after Los Angeles authorities tried to crack down on aggressive photographers following a series of altercations involving actresses Reese Witherspoon, Lindsay Lohan and Scarlett Johansson, among others.
Lohan and Johansson were both involved in car accidents that they say were caused by aggressive photographers. A photographer trying to take a picture of Witherspoon's young daughter at an amusement park was charged with assaulting two park workers after they tried to intervene.

- Balkan Wars - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
Between 1900 and 1912, the nations of Europe were at peace. But there were hostilities, rivalries, and conflicts brewing that would soon tear the whole continent apart. The great conflict was World War I. But just prior to that war, there were two regional conflicts in the Balkan Peninsula. These two short wars took place in 1912 and 1913. Their immediate result was to end the presence of the Turkish Ottoman Empire in Europe. The more tragic effect of the Balkan Wars was to heighten the already fierce international tensions that were driving the nations of Europe toward World War I. (See also Balkans; Turkey.)

Are any of you doing a birthing plan? I was just wondering when should you prepare one? and should you have it in your hosptial bag? I want to do one but like i said, i dont know when should i have it done by?
Birthing plan?
I'm using my same birthing "plan" as last time.... its not so much as a Plan as things I would like and not like to happen (like I ABSOULTELY hate be counted AT during pushing, lol I know silly but seriously I can push and you can encourage me w/o making me feel like i'm under all the pressure! lol).... but since this is baby #6 I know the best "plans" usually change when your in labor.
also I would give it to your care provider soon! and also carry a copy with you and give it to the nurses at the hospital when /is you pregister and let them know your have already discussed all this with your care provider and they know your wishes and have agreed to them as long as L&D go without any problems but that any changes are to be dicussed between you and your care provider.
Good Luck :-)

You def want it in your hospital bag and I found the nurses were super helpful in making sure my wishes were followed if possible.
I liked having a birth plan because there are a few things I was really against and I have a lot of anxiety around labor and delivery so being able to have my say so about a few of those things helped me stay calm and focus on the at least it's not... (If that makes sense)
Good luck. And remember even with a birth plan there are things that are unpredictable and sometimes you still have to be flexible. :)
I am 100% for sure. Its best to make copies and give one to your OB/midwife before hand as well as the hospital.
My first son was circumcised without permission which made me make one this time. Im freaking out they will do it again. I want everybody to know not to touch him so Im putting it on there more than once.
I also am not doing vaccinations or the eye goop and they need to know that pre birth.
Also I am not allowing them to give me pitocin so that needs to be on there.
I am also EBF and do not want them giving my child sugar water, formula, or whatever else. They did that with my daughter and ticked me off.
Having a birth plan, no matter what kind of birth, is always a great idea! Most hospitals just go by routine what everybody else does. So they normally wont ask before doing something.
You can find some pre made ones online and edit them how you would like. Thats what I did.

preg.ms.mommy5 I am the same! I hated them doing that and saying "Push, push like your having a bowel movement". Yes, because i really wanted that on tape and that is just so awesome to be said around my hubby and family. It ticked me off they were doing that. They said it over and over.

thats so sad. was your sister a ftm when that happened? I totally agree that you shouldn't
"No way I'm trusting this piece of paper with mere preferences to dictate my care so absolutely"
but it is good to at least have an outline. so when certain things come up your dr and the nurses are more likely to talk to you about ALL the choices you have not just the ones that they usually perform so it has become habit for them. That is way I refuse to call it a "plan" and refer to it as the way I HOPE things go and make sure I don't sound demanding but let them know I am open to discuss other options as Labor changes and becomes its own unique experience... with 5 L&D's already done I can tell you not ONE has been the same and every single one is its own ....... just like every single one of my kids ;-)
I totally agree baby's health and yours comes before preferences BUT their is a lot of "choices" that go along with it and you should at least be happy with the experience.

No. Although the one I did last time, which is still in my file, is fucking hilarious. Me and one of the OB's at my practice read it at the end of one of my apointments a couple weeks ago and we were crying laughing. lol
Mom to Derek Scott 11/14/03
and Kellen Gabriel 7/7/2013
lol I totally understand.. for me it was like I was being demeaned like "um no crap I can count to ten in my head and its MUCH more peaceful while you gently encourage me" with things like . "keep it up" and "your doing great" or "thats the way" or when you see me starting to slow down (which my labors are fast and so is delivery so really only with two of them did I have to be told "ok you really need to keep pushing the baby needs to be out!"
They can be firm without yelling at me which just pisses me off and gets me distracted anyways!
My hubby is a GREAT coach and he can "see" when I'm losing focus and he knows to make eye contact, get me focused on him and to talk gently but seriously to me.
lol having a great coach defintitely helps! :-)

No, a lot of things dont go as planned. And Dr/nurses have a tendancy not to follow them Its a waste of time.
My birth plan goes as follows:
Go to hospital
Get baby out SAFELY.
Get some food.
Head home.

For many years, it seemed those of us living in Northern New York could not catch a break.
It's hard enough when we leave the area and people ask us where we are from. The response, "Northern New York," is always followed by, "Albany?" "Syracuse?" "Buffalo?" "?" Seriously, there actually was a national television reporter who would refer to Weschester County as Northern New York.
It felt lawmakers saw the state in the same light. Millions and billions of dollars would flow like honey to everywhere but here, the Adirondacks. The rest of the state would evolve while the Adirondacks remained sheltered to all but a select few.
Fortunately, one of those select few now wears the mantle of Governor, Andrew Cuomo. Since his election just over three years ago, the state funding pipeline has been expanded to include the North Country and the Adirondacks.
The most recent example is the North Country Economic Development Council receiving $81.3 million in state funding to help with projects that will drive the economy of the region.
Saranac Lake, which has been an Adirondack playground for Cuomo, received a generous share of the funding, with $5 million for the renovation of the Hotel Saranac and $2 million for the construction of a new resort and waterfront restaurant at the former Lake Flower Hotel. Bionique Testing Laboratories received $650,000 for expansion at its Lake Clear facility, adding 10,000 square feet for laboratories, storage and conference rooms; and the Pendragon Theatre in Saranac Lake received $3,360 for the hiring of a seasonal intern.
Mayor Clyde Rabideau said Cuomo spoke highly of the area: "He really grew to love the area, knows what we are about and knows what we need."
It wasn't just Saranac Lake. In Tupper Lake, the Wild Center received $250,000 to support Phase 2 of its Wild Walk. A pair of North Country movie theaters in Indian Lake and Au Sable Forks received funding necessary to make the transition to digital projection technology in order to stay in business. The Adirondack North Country Association received $59,200 for the Adirondack Regional Arts Trail. Towns and municipalities received funding for infrastructure projects and green energy alternatives.

I have a 5ish year old Ritchey WCS 4-Axis stem on my MTB. Its always kind of bothered me that my mountain bike has the same stem as my road bike. Is that stem really stiff and sturdy enough for the application? I noticed the new-ish WCS Trail stem is not much heavier, and purported to be stiffer and stronger. Stiffer appeals to me if it improves steering precision and tracking. I'm getting some new bars anyway, is this a worthwhile upgrade? Will I notice any difference?

Several residents called Oak Creek police in the past week after receiving an anti-Semitic pamphlet that also discussed the shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in August.
According to Oak Creek police, the South Milwaukee Police Department also received about six reports of matching literature being placed on porches in their city; however, they also have no information on who is distributing the pamphlets.
Police examined the pamphlet and stated it didn't contain any direct threats toward people or establishments.
If you have information about the organization or person/people distributing these pamphlets you can call the Oak Creek Police Department at (414) 762-8200. If residents receive one of these pamphlets they are advised to simply throw the literature away, police said.

Contacting me about writing: I love hearing from other writers, from professional colleagues, and aspiring scribes alike—whether you are looking for career advice, collaboration, or contacts. Please feel free to email me. I'm also happy to hear from: journalists looking for expert commentary; companies looking to hire me as a consultant or speak at your event; producers who would like me to appear as a guest on your radio/TV show; film producers searching for locations and a fixer in Belize or Nicaragua.
