Tyler Flowers hit a go-ahead homer just before the final downpour and the Chicago White Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 in a rain-shortened game Sunday for their sixth straight victory. Immediately following a 6-minute rain delay in the seventh inning, Flowers launched a two-run shot off Kevin Millwood to lead first-place Chicago to its second consecutive series sweep. Rain continued to pour until the tarp was put on to stay two batters later, and the game was called after a wait of nearly 2 hours. The start was delayed for 1 hour, 51 minutes due to showers that persisted throughout the game before it was finally stopped. The White Sox retained their 2 1/2-game lead in the AL Central over the Tigers, who beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-2. Chicago starter Gavin Floyd, however, left after two innings with right elbow discomfort. Capser Wells hit a two-run homer for Seattle. Nate Jones (7-0) escaped a seventh-inning jam after inheriting runners on first and third with nobody out....

Comedian Dustin Diamond of 'Saved by the Bell' performs in Corpus Christi this weekend
CORPUS CHRISTI - The guy who played the nerdy character with the squeaky voice on "Saved by the Bell," Screech, is still cracking jokes, but no longer in the hallways of Bayside High School.
Comedian Dustin Diamond, known for his role as Screech, will perform four shows at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Gators Sports Bar & Grill.
Diamond has been doing stand up comedy for 14 years and will perform for the first time in Corpus Christi.
Diamond said he likes to include stories that happened on the sets of the different shows he has worked on in his stand up routines.
Diamond, 36, appeared as the antagonist character on the reality show "Celebrity Fit Club" in 2007. He said in real life he is actually more like the character Screech.
He said when he was younger he distanced himself from the socially awkward character he played on T.V. but doesn't anymore.
"As I've gotten older, I'm no longer afraid to admit that I'm a full blown nerd," Diamond said.
Diamond said that all things geek has gone chic.
"I'm the type of guy that doesn't watch sports," Diamond said. "But do I have a 'World of Warcraft's character? You bet I do."
Those wanting to see Diamond better get their tickets early because according to the comedian his different approach to comedy has been received well.
"A bunch of my shows have sold out, so I feel like I'm doing something right," Diamond said.
What: Dustin Diamond Comedy Show
Where: Gators Sports Bar & Grill, 4610 South Padre Island Drive
When: 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday

When the dashing Peter Hynd arrives in the backwater village of Drim, the local matrons overflow the town's only fitness class, and buy out the local store's hair coloring. Hamish isn't surprised that Hynd is soon missing, and a body has been found...until he finds the corpse is not the charming man he expects.
Can Macbeth find the murderer and the missing man, or will the dour, crablike men of Drim keep their secrets and commit the perfect crime?
Great Scot! Don't miss more of Hamish Macbeth's cases.
©1994 M. C. Beaton; (P)1997 Recorded Books
Beaton's low-key police procedural [offers] an intimate look at life in a small Scottish village, striking insights into human nature, carefully detailed, highly accurate descriptions of police work, splendid dry humor, and a story that's as satisfying as a cozy cup of tea. (Booklist)
"How's that engagement going?"
This was a predictable-in-a-good-way Hamish Macbeth mystery and Beaton handled the engagement with Priscilla well. I read a later book first, so never knew the story of how they got together and then didn't and both parts of the story were funny and perceptive.
I love listening to these stories between more weighty books. They are like a lighter 'cleanse the palate' sherbet course in the midst of a banquet. After a more intense book, I often don't know which direction to take next, but after a few hours with the residents of Loch Dubh, I'm all set!
"Another Great Story!"
Another great Hamish Macbeth tale! If only Hamish would give up on Priscilla and find another lady love! Keep the stories coming, M.C.!
Avid reader and listener!
"It's Hamish Macbeth to the rescue again!"
Lose yourself in the charming village of Lochdubh as you accompany Police Constable Hamish Macbeth as he takes care of his charges and his duties. When a good looking stranger arrrives, all the village women pull out the stops to catch his eye. One of them does and the charming stranger ends up dead. It's Hamish Macbeth to the rescue as he sets about to discover who the murderer is. Along the way you learn more about the interesting mix of characters who inhabit the local area ... quant, quirkly, and downright deadly.
Davina Porter does a marvelous job bringing the story and characters to life in this delightful addition to the Hamish Macbeth series. A must listen for anyone who likes mysteries.
"Good story, disappointing narration"
I wouldn't listen again because I think Davina Porter was not the best choice to be the narrator. I have loved her work on other books, but her accent in this one was off and was distracting from the story line.
I like Hamish.. . he's an interesting character.
Her accent was off.

Science of Mom reader Roxanne left a comment on my post about the recent peanut allergy study. She wondered about starting solid foods with her 4-month-old baby boy:
"Do you have an opinion on starting solids at 4 months versus 6 months? I noticed that many of the studies on allergy include babies in the 4-6 month range, but I think that the current recommendation is to wait until 6 months. I ask because my baby WILL NOT drink out of a bottle while I'm at work. He is miserable all day. I'm only gone 8-3 including travel time, so if he could just get a little something at 11am, I think he might actually nap and not cry all day. We have tried everything. If you know of any studies please let me know. He is 18 weeks old."
I totally understand Roxanne's confusion, because there's lots of conflicting advice on this topic. This is a question that I tackled in-depth in my book (due out in July!), but I wanted to offer some of this information on my blog as well.
Let's start by getting our terminology straight.
Starting solids is just the beginning of a slow transition from an exclusive milk diet to a diet of table foods. In some countries, this is also called "weaning," which is confusing since the same term means stopping milk feeding in the U.S. (i.e. weaning from breastfeeding, weaning from a bottle). "Complementary feeding" is often used in the research and public health worlds. This is an apt term, because the goal with feeding solids to babies is to complement breast milk or formula, which will continue to provide most of babies' calories through at least the end of the first year.
What is the history of starting solids?
There is a common assumption that longer exclusive breastfeeding – and longer delay in starting solids foods – must be more natural, and hence, healthier. But looking at traditional human cultures, with no access to commercial baby food, modern pediatricians, or divisive Internet forums, can give us valuable perspective on what is "natural." A survey of childbirth and breastfeeding practices in 186 non-industrial cultures reported that solid foods were routinely introduced before 6 months, a finding that surprised the author:
"Contrary to the expectation of a prolonged period of breast-milk as the sole source of infant nutrition, solid foods were introduced before one month of age in one-third of the cultures, at between one and six months in another third, and was postponed more than six months for only one-third."1
A more recent cross-cultural analysis of 113 nonindustrial populations from around the world found that parenting introduced solid foods before 6 months in more than half, with 5-6 months being the most common time for introduction.2
Human diets and infant care practices vary tremendously around the world, so it's impossible to say if starting solids at 4 months or 6 months is more natural. As to which is healthier – well, that's where we need to look at the science.
What is the official advice about starting solid foods?
Public health and professional organizations fall into two camps when it comes to recommendations about solids foods: they either recommend starting between 4 and 6 months OR at 6 months. There are well-respected organizations on both sides. Continue reading

Can't add to what's already been said, it's as good as y'all said it is. One question comes to mind, though. Any ideas how to prepare the Thanksgiving turkey with this method? Without filling the entire house with smoke, that is?flag if inappropriate
After reading all the rave reviews and trying this wonderfully easy and pleasing recipe myself, I have came to the conclusion that the only way it can be screwed up so terribly for JudiNYC was that she failed to turn on the oven! Snap out of your ego and try it again...flag if inappropriate
Mmmmm!!!! This is so good! Amazingly full of flavor and sooo juicy! Loved the crisp skin too. And the great thing about it is...its a fairly fuss free dish. This is just the perfect autumnal evening meal. Serve it as a low-stress main course for company. Its a winner every time. The drippings made a fabulous gravy as well.flag if inappropriate
Ok. I really don't know why this is so special since it is perfectly simple. Maybe it is the salty crisp skin, or maybe it is the way the meat stays moist. But it tastes great and my hubby who is normally indifferent about roast chicken says it's great. So there. Simple and delicious. And not so much smoke if you just open the back door for the last 10 mins.flag if inappropriate
Yum! The preparation techniques in this recipe really made a difference in comparison to my usual way of roasting chicken. The hardest part was using Internet tutorials to figure out how to truss a chicken, then wrestling with my bird like some kind of poultry dominatrix. Even though I followed other peoples' advice about rack placement, it got a little smokey in the house. Still, the crisp outside and juicy inside were worth a bit of smoke. My dinner guests noticed that this roast chicken was a couple cuts above the rest. Definitely a keeper.flag if inappropriate
This is the only way I roast a chicken and I consider it perfect as written. I do not bother with the optional butter and will substitute other herbs from time to time.flag if inappropriate
I thought this recipe was too simple to make much of a difference from my normal recipe but it was so very good. I made sure the chicken sat in the fridge for 1 hour and then placed it on the roasting rack. I put the neck and giblets into the roasting pan to augment the pan juices along with some sliced lemons. My bird was almost 5 lbs. so I cooked it for 60 minutes at the directed temperature and then cooked for an additional 15 minutes at 350 degrees. I followed other reviewers' advice and dropped the oven rack one level, foil-tented the chicken for the last half hour and my oven barely smoked. I did tilt the chicken several times to allow the juice to run out of its cavity and to drip into the pan. As for the pan gravy, I lifted out the chicken to let it rest then put the roasting pan on my stove and set it to medium high. After removing the giblets & lemon, I scraped up all those lovely brown bits, mixed in a few tablespoons of flour and added beef broth (all out of chicken broth) which made a really deep flavor to the gravy. I'll be using this recipe again and again.flag if inappropriate
Don't know why I always used to put so much effort into roasting a chicken -- after following this simple and fantastic recipe, I will never cook a chicken any other way.flag if inappropriate
I think judyNYC needs to rethink where she is buying these $14.00 organic chickens. Where does one get such a fatty chicken?flag if inappropriate
I made this a little over a month ago, and my fiance has been begging me to make it again ever since. To be fair, the only reason I haven't is because, yes, it made my oven smoke like mad. I am giving in finally and making it again tonight, with the vent running full-blast and the kitchen windows open. JudiNYC, I've been cooking since I was 12, too (yes, in the EARLY 1970's) and am definitely no slouch. You MUST have done something wrong without realizing it - something the best of us do upon occasion - because this is, without a doubt, the BEST roast chicken recipe we have ever eaten, smoky oven and all. Especially if you don't believe it was your oven and there was nothing wrong with your chicken, since I used the cheapie 67-cent-per-pound chicken.flag if inappropriate

SAN DIEGO -- The Denver Broncos wiped out a 24-point halftime deficit and rallied for a 35-24 victory over the San Diego Chargers in an AFC clash Monday night at Qualcomm Stadium. Three touchdown passes by Peyton Manning and two scores produced by the Broncos' defense in the second half allowed Denver to earn a stunning win and tie the Chargers for first place in the division. After failing to generate much offense in the first half, the Broncos came to life in a big way in the second. Manning guided them on an 85-yard drive in eight plays on the opening possession after intermission, when he hit wide receiver Demaryius Thomas on a 29-yard touchdown pass to cut San Diego's lead to 24-7. The Broncos (3-3) pulled to within 24-14 when San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers, who was sacked by Elvis Dumervil, fumbled and cornerback Tony Carter picked it up and raced 65 yards for a touchdown with 4:56 left in the third quarter. Two fourth-quarter touchdowns by Manning gave the Br...

The year was 1991 the World is in a time of Crisis and Soviet Ultranationalist has renegade against the Soviet Union and prepares for WWIII in June of that year the Communist's launch a attack on Europe but during the winter of 1991 the Communist's find them self's fighting a two front war when the attack on the Balkans should have been easy and fast they find it more harder then they thought, when the Nationalist fighters find that the Communist's are going to attack Bosnia they hold off the Communist's, then NATO forces move in from Greece for the attack and there our story begins.

It now seems certain that uniforms for the state's correctional officers will continue to be made by inmates working at the state-operated Correctional Industries -- at least for now.
Lawmakers, including Rep. Maureen Walsh, R-Walla Walla, had been pushing legislation to free the Department of Corrections from the requirement it buy officers' uniforms from Correctional Industries and allowing purchases from the private sector.
But the legislation was amended to give Corrections Industries until 2013 to get its inmate work force to improve quality. If there isn't sufficient improvement during this year, DOC could begin a bidding process for uniforms. The proposal establishes an accountability system to identify and fire inmates making lousy uniforms.
This amended version of the legislation was approved 92-3 by the House and now heads to the Senate.
This is the approach we suggested when the original legislation was proposed. The anecdotal evidence from employees at the Washington State Penitentiary made it clear to us the shoddy uniforms were a serious issue.
It's ridiculous, for example, for two pairs of pants to be marked as the same size but with one fitting correctly and the other so small it could not be worn. Shirts were also ill-fitting and the color was not uniform -- something that is critical to the making of a uniform.
Keeping inmates working and learning skills and a work ethic are essential. Demanding that a task be done correctly should be part of the training.
Inmates being busy is a positive. Idle time tends to fuel bad behavior for those who are behind bars. More inmates should be working, not fewer.
About 100 inmates work making clothing and are paid a very small amount, between 55 cents and $1.55 an hour, allowing some money to go toward court-ordered fines and restitution.
Some complained about the high price charged by Corrections Industries to the Department of Correction for the sometimes shoddy uniforms. Perhaps the cost was high considering the low wages, but this money stays within state government. In reality, the state is paying itself and thus keeping costs down for taxpayers. Having inmates work helps pay for their incarceration.
Ironically, one of the lawmakers who did not vote for the compromise proposal was Rep. Mary Helen Roberts, D-Edmonds, a member of the Correctional Industries advisory board.
"I think there are some questions about the Legislature intervening in what I think should be a conversation taking place between the Department of Corrections and Correctional Industries," she said.
Yes, but the complaints about uniform quality were nothing new and the problems were not solved. When the Legislature became involved, the need for vast improvement to quality control at Correctional Industries became critical.
Legislative action was welcome and needed.

CFN Analysis
BYU 24, Tulsa 21
Pete Fiutak
- I scoffed at the idea that a BYU-Tulsa game could follow what Baylor and Washington came up with in the wild and wacky Alamo. Thanks to Riley Nelson and Cody Hoffman, they did it.
- Tulsa only came up with 2.5 sacks, but Nelson got beaten up, battered, and bruised. Tulsa's pass rush has been solid all year, but it took things to another level against the Cougars with hit after hit on Nelson.
- But the pass rush didn't work on the fake spike.
- Tulsa had the game there for the taking, and didn't do it. BYU screwed up with the running into the punter call late, and all G.J. Kinne and the offense had to do was pull off a few first downs and it was over.
- The BYU defensive front destroyed the Tulsa ground game. Kyle Van Noy and company whipped the Golden Hurricane front and never got hit with the explosion. This is a Tulsa team that ripped apart everyone with its ground game, but was held for just 38 yards on ten carries.
- The Tulsa defense did almost everything right until the end, Curnelius Arnick was a menace, Shawn Jackson made big plays all over the field, and Dexter McCoil was one of Nelson's favorite receivers.
- The BYU offense needed to use Nelson's mobility more. He wasn't able to go anywhere against the Tulsa linebackers.
- Considering how bad BYU looked against Utah, and considering how miserable the offense was early on, finishing up with ten wins and winning nine of the last ten is a nice way to come up with a strong season. This isn't a very good team, and this might be only the second win over a bowl team – Utah State being the other – but 10-3 is 10-3.
- Check that. The offense isn't very good. The defense is terrific.
- Tulsa lost to Oklahoma State, Boise State, and Houston, all with one loss each, before this.
Richard Cirminiello
Riley Nelson showed again why he's so valuable to the BYU program, but he's the reason former blue-chip recruit Jake Heaps is now a Kansas Jayhawk? Heaps has so much more upside as a passer than the lefty, who too often stares down his receivers, sails his throws and uncorks wobbly balls.
Nelson was darn fortunate to have Cody Hoffman on his side for the Armed Forces Bowl. Considering the size and skill of the Crescent City, Calif., it's pretty amazing he's not playing in the Pac-12 right now.
While Tulsa was unable to keep BYU out of the end zone on the pivotal final drive, the unit put on a very respectable showing in Dallas this afternoon. The Golden Hurricane always features a lot of speed on this side of the ball, and DE Tyrunn Walker, S Dexter McCoil and linebackers Shawn Jackson and Curnelius Arnick are wrap-up tacklers in the open field.
BYU LB Kyle Van Noy, now at the halfway point of his eligibility, is about to blow up into a major national star in Provo. For a 6-3, 235-pounder, the sophomore plays with all of the range, explosiveness and versatility of a 205-pound safety. He has high NFL Draft choice written all over his game film.
Where was the Tulsa rushing attack for this game? The unit that averaged 40 carries a game, and was so instrumental to the program's success during the regular season, inexplicably failed to even try to put a dent in the BYU front seven.
By Matt Zemek
Larry Fedora used his season at Southern Mississippi to vault to North Carolina. Kevin Sumlin used his season at Houston to make the move to Texas A&M. However, the best coach you never heard about in the 2011 Conference USA season was first-year Tulsa coach Bill Blankenship. The in-house hire did not carry a huge price tag, making Tulsa brass look smart. Tulsa lost four games, but the Golden Hurricane played Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Boise State out of conference. Tulsa achieved more than a lot of pundits expected, and Blankenship deserved a lot of credit for his team's performance. A physical style gave the Golden Hurricane a flinty edge which served them well this past autumn.
On Friday afternoon in the Armed Forces Bowl, Blankenship lost the mustard on his fastball.
Why was anyone even back to field a punt inside the Tulsa 20-yard line with 25 seconds left in the first half against BYU? It's not quite (100 percent) correct to say that the punt should have been fair caught, though that's certainly a reasonable and logical claim to make. The punt never should have been fielded in the first place… not with that time-score-field position dynamic. Blankenship owns that touchdown, which breathed life into Brigham Young's hopes.
Later, Blankenship watched as his team allowed BYU to matriculate the ball down the field, as Hank Stram would say, scoring the winning touchdown with 11 seconds left. Blankenship can't be blamed for the fact that his defense allowed the touchdown itself, but Tulsa needed to take chances on that drive. Either Tulsa was going to make the defensive stop, or give up a big-play touchdown with almost a minute left. Tulsa could have afforded to give up a home-run ball to BYU in that situation; a Cougar touchdown would have left the Golden Hurricane with two timeouts in a 24-21 game; Tulsa could have maneuvered for overtime. However, by allowing BYU to work slowly and calmly before punching in a touchdown with just 11 ticks left on the clock, Tulsa denied itself a chance to mount a comeback by letting two timeouts sit idly in its pocket. Bill Blankenship had a great year. He suffered through a very poor performance in the Armed Forces Bowl.

- Amazingly, the Armed Services Bowl managed to top the Alamo Bowl in terms of excitement. Sure, the Alamo had more points, but this game was literally in doubt until the final whistle blew.
- Attention college coaches – please start coaching your players to take the proper angle when attempting to block a punt. BYU nearly lost this game because of a running into the kicker penalty on fourth down.
- Excellent call by the BYU coaching staff to go with the fake spike on 2nd and goal. Tulsa's defense was both confused and tired, which made it easy for Cody Hoffman to get wide open for the winning score.
- With Bronco Mendenhall's penchant for winning close games, and it is very surprising that his name did not surface as a candidate for some of the higher profile jobs that came available this season.
- Riley Nelson continues to epitomize everything that a QB should be. Even though he had subpar numbers for the day (17 of 40 passing), he came up big at crunch time. Ask Dan Marino, at the end of the day, QBs are measured by only one statistic – wins and losses.
- BYU OT Matt Reynolds showed the entire nation that he has the toughness to play in the NFL. After having his helmet taken off by a Tulsa defender, Reynolds stayed with the play, and threw a key block (sans his helmet) to allow Riley Nelson to complete a pass.
- Might this matchup turn into a conference game in the future? If the Big 12 decides to expand further, they would be hard pressed to find two better candidates.

Great tire.
By old man in the mountains
from Alleghany County, Virginia
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about GEAX Streetrunner MTB Tire:
Have put 3,200 miles on them using my mountain bike for short tours with up to 45 pound loads, errands in town, and off road on smooth dirt and fine gravels on a railtrail. Much faster and smoother than knobbies. Only 1 flat so far! Have a flat about every 400 miles on knobbies with their thin casings. Sidewalls holding up great and still about half the life left on the tread. Still use knobbies in the winter mud and slick leaves, but the Geax are perfect for their intended use.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Difficult to instal
By Sad Cyclist
from Swartz Creek, MI
See all my reviews
I have installed countless tires before and I tryed putting these 26in tires on my 26in alex rims and the tires seamed about an inch too small. I broke my plastic tire installing tools and poped two tubes (correct size for the tire) before I said screw it and put my dirt tires back on. The tires now sit in my garage.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Long-lasting tire worth the few $s more
By Salad250
from Hanover, VA
Bought these tires to convert my wife's mountain bike to one she could use around the neighborhood and on short rides on paved roads in our area. Having used these same tires on my own bike years ago, I can attest to their low rolling resistance and durability.
nice road tire for my commuter

I commute every day on these tires. I switched out some town and country tires for these. These roll much better. I honestly can't say anything about the wear yet. Give me 6 months
Very nice.

Good tire
By mcb
from Minneapolis, MN
About Me Commuter
I've had these tires on my commuter for two summers, or about 1000 miles. Good traction and a comfortable ride. They're a little on the fat side, so rolling resistance could be better, but the extra width has its pluses on the occasional dirt or gravel stretch. Recently, I noticed small cuts on both the front and rear, so I will be replacing them. Other than the cuts, they've held up well. I would consider them a good value. Not the fastest or lightest tire, but nice for those who want a comfortable ride on a tough, mixed surface, urban route.

low rolling resistence
By Denny-commuter
from york,pa
I like these tires a lot.These tires are 1.6 width.I tried michelin urbin 1.4's.Believe it or not I am clearly faster on these tires[cycle computer verified] than the 1.4 michelins.Running 10-15 lbs. less than the michelins I'm clearly faster on these tires.It is hard to believe!I am a little worried I may not get a lot of miles from these but they sure roll nice.With these tires I'm less than 1 mph slower on average than my 1 inch tired road bike.I stand by these statements.

Great tire
By Dorian
from Seattle WA
Just wanted to put SOMETHING out there on this great tire. Started with the Geax Evolution, and was so pleased with those, that I decided I should try a very narrow tire, also designed just for the street. Have had zero flats with these, and they roll great. Never had an issue with traction on the street, which is where you should stay with these tires.

During February, our second-grade students have learned interesting facts about famous Black Americans and the important contributions they have made in American history. The reading classes are practicing sight words, along with focusing on comprehension skills like main idea and supporting details. In science, they investigated the different functions of the human body. Our culminating activity for the social studies unit, People Living Long Ago, was an exciting field trip to the historical museum. In math, we are using rulers for inch/centimeter measurement and estimating lengths of various items at home, school and in the environment. Our fourth-grade students took the FCAT Writes on Feb. 28. In the afternoon, they celebrated with an ice cream party sponsored by our wonderful PTO. Rivers Edge would like to thank our fourth-grade teachers, Mrs. Bernard, Mr. Danese, Mrs. Foley, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Ramsey and Mrs. Rodgiuez for preparing our students.

Carve a Fall Planter
A flower-filled gourd looks impressive, but with the help of our tutorial, you'll have a pretty fall centerpiece in no time.
Get crafty this fall with our DIY fall planter. In three simple steps you'll have a finished (and impressive) arrangement that should last about a week.
Start with a small gourd or squash. Using a serrated knife, cut a circle that is about 3 inches in diameter around the top of the gourd.
Remove the top, and scoop out the seeds and pulp with a spoon.
Add water, and then fill with snippets of colorful collected leaves, chrysanthemums, and berries. We used mostly bittersweet, but viburnum berries tallow berries, hypericum berries, and rose hips are all good choices.

MEMPHIS -- If a team wants to go deep in the NBA playoffs, it's got to win games even when it appears totally uninspired, at least early in a contest. That's exactly what the Memphis Grizzles did Monday night at FedExForum, recording an 84-78 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers after Memphis trailed for the first time this season entering the fourth quarter. The Grizzlies, with an NBA-best 10-2 record, were outhustled the first three quarters, and they faced a seven-point deficit. However, they opened the final period with six consecutive points, and they made just about every play in the stretch. Memphis closed the game on a 10-2 run in the final 5 1/2 minutes. The Cavs made just one of 10 shots, the lone basket coming on an Alonzo Gee follow dunk with 44.5 seconds left to cut the Memphis lead to 80-78. After a timeout, Grizzlies backup point guard Jerryd Bayless, playing for starter Mike Conley, who sat out with the flu, drilled an 11-foot jumper off a screen with 23.8 se...

text: on Aug 6, 2014 @ 3:12 AMAug 6, 2014 @ 3:12 AM PublishedSkymark planning to withdraw from Narita airport Japan's third-largest air carrier Skymark Airlines Inc. is considering shutting down its operations at Narita airport near Tokyo to help turn its business around, industry sources said Wednesday. The airline operates six daily domestic roundtrip flights linking Narita to Sapporo in Hokkaido, Yonago in Tottori and Naha in Okinawa and had planned to expand into international services based out of the airport. Skymark is now planning to suspend these flights as early as late October and shut down its office at the airport, concentrating its business resources at Haneda airport for its business reconstruction, the sources said. In an earnings report for the April-June quarter of 2014 released last Thursday, Skymark offered to streamline unprofitable services, doubting its ability to continue current business operations due to rising fuel costs and intensifying competition from rivals. The seat occupancy rate in June was as low as 67.9 percent for Narita-Sapporo flights, 28.1 percent for Narita-Yonago flights and 64.5 percent for Narita-Naha flights. Skymark is expected to plunge into financial difficulties if it is forced to pay some 70 billion yen in penalty charges over a recent breakdown of its talks with European aircraft maker Airbus S.A.S. on aircraft order revisions.==Kyodo

Everyone wins in charity basketball gamesPublished 11:48pm Saturday, March 10, 2012
Many motorists cruising through Ironton's streets have seen Lawrence County Commissioner Les Boggs jogging along at a brisk pace, looking as if he is training for a marathon.
Although he will tell you that he is running to stay in shape and because he enjoys it, I know the truth.
He is scared. Absolutely shaking in his Nikes.
Boggs is trying to get ready to back up his bravado and hoping his basketball game matches his trash talking.
But don't worry, there is no animosity here. It's all for a good cause.
On March 27, the Lawrence County Board of Developmental Disabilities will host its annual March Madness basketball event that allows the men and women of Tri-State Industries, Inc. to play against members of the media and others.
If you have never attended this event, you are missing out on an exhibition that showcases pure joy and is guaranteed to make you smile.
This year, there will be a twist and a challenge — in large part thanks to Boggs.
Some people think the media and politicians are often at odds with one another.
On that Tuesday we will be.
The Lawrence County Elected Officials will field a team that will include commissioners, the sheriff, a judge or two and others. They will face a team from The Tribune.
The winner takes all.
OK, that's just hyperbolic bluster. The winner really doesn't take anything at all.
But the losing team will donate $500 to the board for its programs. The winning team will only have to put up $250.
This was the brainchild of Boggs and stems from some good-natured trash talking.
Our goal is to have fun, build relationships within the community and raise some money for a great cause.
Afterwards The Tribune and Officials teams will join forces to take on the TSI All-Stars.
Having participated in Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month for nearly a decade, I have seen first-hand how important it is.
These men, women and children are people like all of us. They have dreams and emotions and feelings.
So we will have fun playing in these charity games, knowing that we are helping raise awareness and supporting a great cause.
So Boggs can keep training all he likes and we will give it our all.
Don't let the scoreboard confuse you. This is one game where everyone wins.

We live in a society of choices, and there's one that causes a lot of discussion: organic versus non-organic.
When it comes to grocery shopping, many people can feel a lot of pressure because of that choice, particularly parents trying to weigh whether or not exposing their children to pesticides will be harmful. In an excellent column on Slate, Melinda Wenner Moyer tackles this question, reminding us that even in organic produce there are pesticides — albeit natural instead of synthetic. "As any toxicologist will tell you, it's the dose that makes the poison. In other words, just because both conventional and organic produce are sometimes laced with pesticides doesn't necessarily mean that they're doing anyone any harm," writers Moyer.
There are many reasons to buy organic, particularly from an environmental and sustainable agricultural perspective, but simplifying shopping choices down to organic vs. non-organic is too black and white. If you require an organic label on your produce, then what about the stuff that comes from your local farmer who doesn't have the funds to pay for such labeling? And if an apple is organic but comes from New Zealand, do you choose it over the non-organic one that comes from your backyard? When the store has organic tomatoes but it's not tomato season, do you still buy them? Do you even know when tomato season is?
We live in a society with a multitude of options, so it's nice to have a label that simplifies our purchasing choices, but food is much more complicated and nuanced than one simple dichotomy. Certainly, we should support organic agriculture, for a multitude of reasons, but if we want to deal with the growing public health problem of obesity, it comes down to this: we have to change the Standard American Diet, and that means eating more fruits and vegetables, whether they're organic or not.
As Moyer goes on to say in her column, "One review concluded that the quartile of Americans who eat the most fruits and vegetables, organic or not, are about half as likely to develop cancer compared to the quartile who eat the least. Fruits and veggies may also prevent heart disease and diabetes."
At the end of the day, most Americans are eating too many processed foods and not enough fruits and vegetables, and before we can even launch into the organic debate, we simple need to get more people filling their diet with fresh produce. A non-organic orange is better after all than a bag of potato chips, organic or not.
Should we eat organic? Yes. Should we eat local? Yes. Should we eat local food that isn't organic? Talk to the farmer and find out about their practices. But if we can't do all of those things, and many of us can't, because of economic reasons or other, we still need to be providing our body with the produce that it needs to survive.
Fewer chips, more fruit. Fewer fast food fries, more potatoes. Let's remember to not just talk about whether or not people should be eating organic, but how we get people eating more produce and less processed food in general.

Organic wins my vote - I'm not happy to pay more but am prepared to do so!! Oh and the more people buying organic then the cheaper it will become!!
thank you!
** & xx @ Lloyd H. ; they are nearly all neurotoxins. Cumulative means is there an interaction between different active ingredients in insecticides and accumulative means does the body of the consumer retain and build up a toxic level over time... no one is studying the long term effects cumulative or accumulative of the inert compounds in any of them. As for me, I simply refuse to pay 2-4X more ... there are enough studies, for me,
Who pays for the studies, Bayer Pharmaceutical, Bayer Agra? Lloyd sadly I am scientific
proof because of solvent chemical exposure at work. When an industrial cherry causes instantaneous headache, organ pain, and 1/2 your brain hums for days, guess what, you buy organic. Later i found out the pesticide for cherries invades the flesh internally to kill a worm borer. Wash it all you want !
Intake of chemicals , pesticides are cumulative. You do not ever wish to go there, it alters your life horribly. You salivate when others are eating available berries & fruit, but KNOW you can't because hurting is due and you wait & wait for a grocer to bring in a organic peaches or strawberries and hope they will be rea$onably priced.
Who funds, manipulates research and dictates curriculum at Universities, Big Ag, Pharma, Industry and you want to trust their studies.
*** Michelle D.: I adjust my budget so I can purchase organic for my family. Don't let big ag fool you, simply washing non-organic produce does not rid it of all the various pesticides. The soil absorbs the chemicals from season after season of spraying pesticides.
Another issue is nitrate fertilizer ! Experiment with people having inflammatory issues, eg. swollen sinuses, sleep apnea. Try eating organic vegetables, eg. potatoes at super time and take note or your sleeping partner as to whether you have apnea or inflammation issues that night.
PSEP :: Fact sheets :: Nitrate: Health Effects in Drinking Water
psep.cce.cornell.edu Fact sheets
This bulletin focuses on the health effects of nitrate in drinking water
Some individuals, however, may have increased susceptibility to methemoglobinemia due to exposure to antioxidant medications and chemicals, or other conditions that may inhibit the body's ability to reconvert methemoglobin to hemoglobin (such as pregnancy or certain rare diseases).
Nitrate in drinking water starts affecting the health ... but the effect on any given person depends on many factors, including other sources of nitrate and nitrite in the diet. Some of the nitrate consumed can be converted in the body to nitrite, which under appropriate circumstances can combine with amines (portions of protein molecules often found in foods, medications, cigarette smoke, decaying plants, soil, and sometimes water) to form nitrosamines, well-
*** R B.: We have started growing some of our own (it isn't hard) and you can do so in pots if you don't have garden space. That way you can control what is or isn't sprayed on your food.
Growing in pots, eg. driveway gardening has benefits for people with physical impairments also, the plants are at a more manageable height, the heat from asphalt can speed growth, although they may need more watering. But the results are rewarding, we harvest beans late into the fall grown on a trellis in a large box on wheels beside a south facing stucco wall on the house.

Originally written on San Francisco Giants Baseball (SF Giants... | Last updated 2/1/13
With the 49ers all over the news in the Bay Area (which, I have no problem with); it's hard for some of us to get our baseball fix. We're still finding ways to dig up San Francisco Giants news for you die-hard fans like me! John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle points out that Pablo Sandoval was named the MVP of the Venezuelan championship series. I'm sure that MVP trophy will look nice to his 2012 World Series MVP trophy! Sandoval is a gamer, but I just hope he's also working on getting himself physically ready for this upcoming season with the Giants. Someone Wants a Job In the same article, Shea says infielder Kensuke Tanaka gave his first public comments since signing a minor league deal with the Giants. Signing has been Tanaka's dream for a long time, and his goal is to make the roster. He eventually wants to be an everyday player. Hearing what Tanaka had to say is music to my ears. He's coming in with goals and is motivated. He's not just satisfied with inking the deal. He ...

Mitchell Caverns
Providence Mountains State Recreation Area
Located within the Mojave National Preserve
Updates For Mitchell Caverns
Update 5/1/2015
Buildings in the park have been repaired. The Cavern has been inspected. They have installed a new LED lighting in the caves, should be a big improvement, when it is open.
Well drilling is finally complete! Water test passed. In addition, new electrical infrastructure to support the new generator has been approved. The "not as good" news is that well pump is back ordered due to the increase demand statewide - due to the drought - for new water sources. Expected delivery time for the pump is 2 - 3 weeks with another 3 weeks estimated for installation. This has been a long road but the end may be in sight. It is still closed and there is no firm reopen date yet.
Mitchell Caverns
There have been no tours of the Mitchell Caverns or the Providence Mountains SRA since 2011. Mitchell Caverns are now closed
You can take a look inside Mitchell Caverns in this video - Click Here!
Mitchell Caverns are limestone caves that feature a wide variety of formations. Trips through the caverns are conducted by guided tours only and last about 1 1/2 hours. Although the tour is not strenuous, there is a half-mile walk to the cave entrance from the visitor center and another half-mile walk through the caverns on uneven ground. The area became a California State Park in 1956 and still contains the only limestone caves in the California State Park system.
Mitchell Caverns are primarily the result of sedimentary limestone and metamorphised limestone (marble) being dissolved by ground water high in carbonic acid content. After the dissolution, caverns were formed; the continued dripping of highly mineralized ground water into the caverns produced stalactites (dripstone deposits extending downward from the ceiling) and stalagmites (dripstone deposits building upward in mound-form from the floor).
Jack Mitchell was the first owner and promoter of Mitchell Caverns. The Caverns were hard to reach and there were little funds available to improve the roads. Jack had to improve the roads and build the rock facilities that are now used by the Park Service.
Even after opening the Caverns to the public, Jack Mitchell retained his interest in attempting to locate silver and other valuable deposits. The location of prospect holes and tunnels that he dug in this search, many along the Caverns' trail, can still be seen but have been blocked off as a safety precaution.
Mitchell Caverns consists of three basic caves that he called "El Pakiva," or the Devil's House; "Tecopa, " named for one of the last chiefs of the Shoshone Indians; and the deep and vertical "Winding Stair Cave," a dangerous cavern that is off-limits to the general public.
For many years it was thought that the Caverns were no longer "living," which means stalactites and stalagmites were not "growing." But heavy rains in some recent years have brought back some signs of life. Mitchell Caverns have been the subject of a number of scientific studies because they contain unusual formations not found in most other limestone caves.
Book Keeper of the Caves - Mitchell Caverns originally titled Jack Mitchell Caveman, this expanded second edition (2003) features many new photographs, restores the missing chapter on famous botanist Mary Beal and includes a foreword by renowned Mojave Desert historian, Dennis Casebier.

Joshua Tree National Park - Black Eagle Mine Road Video - Beginning 6.5 miles north of the Cottonwood Visitor Center, this dead-end dirt road runs along the edge of Pinto Basin, crosses several dry washes, and then winds up through canyons in the Eagle Mountains. The first 9 + miles of the road are within the park boundary. Beyond that point is BLM land. Several old mines are located near this road.
Ocotillo Wells - Are You Riding Your ATV Over Gold? One of the most famous prospectors of the time, trapper/gold seeker "Pegleg Smith" traveled through the Anza Borrego region. It's rumored he discovered black gold somewhere in the east part of the Park. Where he found his gold has never been discovered, or if it has, the location has never been published or verified.
Randsburg, Living Ghost Town Video
Randsburg, California is located southwest of Ridgecrest, just off of Highway 395. Gold was first discovered here in 1895 at the Yellow Aster Mine. The mines of the area have produced over one million ounces of gold. Today the gold mining activities have been replaced by tourists shopping for antiques, part-time prospectors, and off-roaders looking for food and a rest stop.

Exploring Route 66 - Historic Mohave Desert Sites
Amboy Road at Sheeps Hole Pass looks into the big basin of Bristol Dry Lake, which was covered by the sea about four million years ago. Across the salt lake, Amboy Dry Crater rises in the distance. The town of Amboy dates back to 1858; it became a critical gas and rest stop on Route 66 after World War II. When I-40 bypassed it in 1972, Amboy almost became a ghost town.

Atley Hunter
Windows Phone Development
For many MVPs, being named as an awardee comes as a surprise. Not
Atley Hunter
. Becoming an MVP was a deliberate goal—and one that helped change the course of his career.
A long-time developer, Atley was first inspired to become part of the MVP community when he heard
Visual C++ MVP Kate Gregory
speak at a large code camp in Toronto. "She has an incredible speaking style," says Atley. "And I learned a lot. I thought, 'I want to do that.'"
At a Tech Days event in 2010 he asked a Microsoft evangelist how to become an MVP. Introduced to some user groups, Atley soon began developing apps for Windows Phone in earnest and then sharing what he learned at conferences, in forums and on his blog.
Last year, Atley was named a Windows Phone Development MVP and six months later he quit his job to dedicate himself full-time to Windows app development.
Today, in addition to being a Microsoft MVP and a 2012 MVP of the Year, Atley is a Nokia Ambassador, as well as a Telerik Insider and Telerik MVP—and he is the most prolific single-person Windows app developer out there, currently on the verge of having 200 Windows 8 and 200 Windows Phone apps in the marketplace.
An app he placed in the marketplace just two months ago,
101 Love Msgs
, already has chalked up more than 70,000 downloads, 1,300 ratings and 4 stars. He points to it as an example of what he's learned in the last couple of years of—sometimes frenzied—app development. "As developers, we're used to solving big, complex problems so when we go about building an app, we often overthink it. But I love solving simple problems with the Windows Phone and my rules to do that are pretty simple: Create a good UI, make people smile, make it easy to use and make sure it does exactly what you say it will. If you get three out of four of those, your app will be a success."
Despite the extensive hours Atley puts into developing Windows apps, he still manages to dedicate a great deal of time to the community. In February, he traveled across the United States and Canada participating in events, including the MVP Global Summit (you can see a video of him at the MVP Showcase on this web site). In March, Atley managed to reach six US east coast cities in eight days. Sometimes, in addition to Code Fests and Code Camps, Atley will host individual coding events at his home where they'll "pound out" 10 to 15 apps over the weekend.
Even with his rigorous travel schedule, Atley insists he's "always available" and encourages the community to reach out to him.

"I don't care what you think about me, I don't think about you at all."
I was induced just before 41 weeks, I agreed because I was extremely uncomfortable. My water broke on its own, and I delivered vaginally. Knowing what I know now, I won't be induced until 42 weeks as long as we're healthy. My doc didn't make me though, he suggested and I agreed. I didn't trust my body at the time, and was so huge and in pain, but now I believe I can handle it. Just hoping this one wants to come out before 41 weeks!

Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., asked the Justice Department on Thursday to to explain its policies for gathering data from mobile phones.
Markey, who co-chairs the Congressional Privacy Caucus, reported on Monday that wireless carriers received 1.3 million requests from law enforcement agencies last year.
The data requested included text messages, wiretaps, and geolocation information and prompted Markey and other privacy advocates to call for more controls and transparency for government information gathering.
"The expansive nature of these information requests likely results in the collection of sensitive records of innocent consumers by law enforcement," Markey wrote in a letter to the Justice Department. "It is important to know how law enforcement is handling the records of consumers, especially those who are innocent, which may be collected as part of these information requests."
In the letter, Markey asks the department to provide answers to more than a dozen questions ranging from the number of requests it makes to its policies on informing people whose information has been collected.

C Christie says: over 1 year
"Our rooms were not ready although we had confirmed reservations months ago. We were suppose to have side by side room, which we did not. The food at the buffet was not nearly as good as our first experience with you. And why the heck did you move the Disco sooooo far away? I didn't even attempt to go. Also the time of the shows were way too late 2145? Why? Otherwise it was a lovely experience. Your staff is great, and we very much enjoyed the train transportation. It is an experience of a lifetime. Come to Canada sometime..."Rating: 7,0

Fortunately, Manager Park pretended that she didn't see anything, so Ah Jung felt somewhat relieved.

"Bella, I'm going to give you some privacy. I won't go far, but I won't listen either. I know you don't want an audience, no matter which way you decide to go."
Three years after his mysterious disappearance, Edward's final words to Bella still haunt her every waking moment. For her parents, Bella tries to put the past behind her and start a new life but one phone call shatters her fragile new world. Bella must then choose between her new life and the potential heartache of her past.
All canon pairings. NO CHARACTER DEATH. This is an Edward and Bella story.
I'd like to thank ms_ambrosia for the awesome banner!
Final story in the From the Wings AU series. While Bella & Edward repair their marriage, a new coven is trying to assume power in the wake left by the end of the Volturi. It is up to the Cullens to save humanity.
Banner by the adorable evieeden. Thank you!
Excerpt from Chapter One:
"We have company."
Bella squeaked – a charming sound, under different circumstances – and rolled away, gathering her clothes up while she did. Hair swirling around her bare shoulders, she gasped, "Who is it?"
"Felix and Renata."
This story will feature adventure, relationship drama, and a surprise or two.
It starts with a tragedy: a desperate immortal is seeking his own death, horrified by the outcome of his last, deadly mission. But suicide isn't easy for vampires, and this applies to Edward Anthony Masen, the Volturi's Inquisitor, until Death challenges him… what must he do to get what he really desires? Edward and Bella, AU
Bella Swan is dead *figuratively*...Izzy Black is an emancipated bad girl. Edward Cullen is the vampire that threatens to bring it all down in an inner battle between darkness and light.
*Being continued into a full length story.
Rated NC-17 References to drugs, drug use, cutting, foul language and *LEMONS*
He's roamed the world, protecting the innocent from the evil who prowl among them, an Angel of Death on Earth. It is his sole purpose in life since he lost his other half and became immortal, until he finds her again. She's young and innocent, studying the criminal mind and how to combat it. She's glimpsed the darker side of humanity and is ready to join him in his crusade.
The extended time spent around the pack led to side effects that not even Alice could predict. And the deadly circumstances that led to Edward's change may be coming back to haunt them. Edward/Jacob, Eclipse AU.
As a hunter Bella has devoted years to fighting along side werewolves to curb the deadly threat posed by vampires but an encounter during one hunt turns her life on end. She learns she has another role to fulfil in a prophesied war that threatens to enslave all mankind and that there's a very fine line between love and hate.
A continuous grouping of outtakes I just couldn't completely trash, even though they didn't quite fit in with the actual story. This won't be a regularly updated fic, but rather the place I will post outtakes from any of my posted stories, now and in the future. Each Chapter will list which story the outtake belongs. AU/AH (Words minus ANs 1,971)
On Bella's first day of college, she's seated next to mirror image of her dead mother. In her quest to find out the truth behind the resemblance, she's drawn into a world she never knew existed
When I Pretend: Blood is spilled, and instead of James losing his life, a mate is found and the world is in a world of hurt. The God of War is about to give lessons on why leaving him and his alone is a good idea.
"My chest pounds, and I feel a little lightheaded, but I have to do it. I have to tell her. She has to know. But I think she already does. I move slowly toward her, hesitating, unsure if I should be doing this, afraid to scare her away again."
This is You Should Know from Edward's perspective. It's not necessary to read the BPOV before reading this one. Each can stand on its own. BxE, AH/AU, NC-17 for the usual reasons.
Bella's birthday party is a complete success, and nothing goes wrong...save one thing. She makes a wish that she could be a vampire, and everything changes...for one day.
Edward realizes that his attempts to keep Bella away from Jacob Black are backfiring. Feeling desperate, he decides to try Jasper's advice, and give Bella something she never expected.
Rated for language, and mature sexual themes including BDSM.
Kali Douglas is a vampire and has been alone for a long time. After taking a trip to the small town of Forks and meeting a very unusual family, has she found something worth fighting for?
Eclipse, AU, Cannon for the most part.
Rated NC-17 for future language and violence. Possible Lemons If I can get the story right.
Awesome banner created by Amber.
Bella is a newborn vampire that is unlike others of her kind. Changed by James, a centuries old vegetarian vampire who has an unhealthy obsession with making Bella his mate, she flees her life in small town Forks and heads to Chicago. Intent on using her new abilities to help people, she and her best friend Rosalie spend their nights walking the streets of Chicago, searching for people to save, find the missing, and bring criminals to justice. In a dark alley, she runs into Edward Cullen, a handsome, cocky, homicide detective who immediately is captivated by the supernatural beauty.
The two eventually come together to bring down a serial killer who is not human and Bella finds herself falling for the cop and his entire family, revealing her secret and putting them all in jeopardy. When tragedy strikes, Bella is faced with the difficult decision to bring others into her world or leave them to die, including the man she loves.
After Edward leaves, Bella decides to move on with her life rather than wasting it pining over Edward. She builds a life with Jake, a life that is running smoothly until Edward decides to show back up out of nowhere. Will he upset her life once more, or help make it better?
This story will span at least a decade of Bella's life, maybe more. If you want a story where Bella jumps right back into Edwards arms, look elsewhere! This is the story about a life, and all the joy and sadness a human life brings.
Edward's the new Santa. Bella the elf is now his Mrs.Take a private peek into one moment of their lives,when they make Christmas magic.
One night a year. A long family tradition. When his father retires,Edward Cullen steps into the role he was born to do.Surrounded by magic, elves, and reindeer, he thought he was prepared,until something extraordinary hit him head on.
What do you do when the one you thought would love you forever up and leaves you? You move to Vegas of course!
It's 3 years after Edward left Bella. She's discovered a new life, and made new friends, but has never really gotten over Edward's abandonment.
When a chance encounter with Alice at a local Vegas night club brings the Cullens back full force into Bella's life, how will she react? Is there any hope for them to rekindle their friendships? More importantly, is there any chance that she and Edward can work through her distrust and his shame and guilt to get back their undying love, or does attention from a new love interest have Bella distracted?
Come on in to the world of Crooked Halo's and Ink Junkies, and find out!
Bella believes in reincarnation, since, after all, she can remember her past lives. When tragedy strikes in Phoenix, forcing her back to Forks to live with Charlie, what will happen when she runs into her past?

A local lawmaker is warning against bracelets and apps meant to help people stay in shape.
Senator Charles Schumer says those using Fitbit bracelets, which track the user's movements, could be in danger of having their private data sold to third parties. Schumer says the fitness bracelets are known for recording the users sleep patterns, weight and other sensitive information. Schumer says this personal information is being sold to the users employers, health insurance companies and others who could use the information against them. Schumer is asking the Federal Trade Commission to institute rules that would let users known they are being tracked and allow them to opt-out of data sharing.
The senator is also asking companies to adopt stronger policies that would protect consumer information in case of a security breach.
