Recently named Baseball America's #5 top prospect, Manny Machado has the skills to become a cornerstone, franchise player that plays one of the most crucial positions in baseball: shortstop.
This season Machado has been tested at higher levels and is currently playing in the Carolina League where he's four years younger than the average player. Before injuring his knee in May he was showing all the tools you would expect, hitting for both contact and power.
The knee injury healed and when he returned to game action he began to struggle. Despite his struggles at Delmarva after returning from the injury, he was promoted to Frederick where he has yet to get back on track. There is no reason to run for the hills because he simply needs to repetitions to adjust in the increase quality of pitching.
As you can see in the video he is swinging at pitchers' pitches. Once he allows the game to come to him and presses less at the plate, he should go back to playing like the prospect that will make fans think another cornerstone piece is on his way to Baltimore.
He has a solid, balanced stance with good knee flexion and is in an athletic position to generate power. He starts his swing by drawing his body back only slightly, but notice that his hands do not trail with the body. He moves his hands up slightly, keeping a nice rhythm that doesn't pose timing concerns — something special to see out of someone so young.
He shows very little wasted motion out of the loading phase and his swing starts out on the right foot. He keeps his arms in tight and inline to form proper foundation for power; this helps create a compact swing that will allow him to control the bat head and the zone.
He shows great bat speed and combined with the compact swing and patient approach, will give him the ability to sit on pitches a split second longer. He will only improve his strike zone discipline as he continues to adjust to better pitching.
His swing is solid, uplifting and that of a typical dual threat hitter. There is a tiny bit of lag between the upper half and lower half, but that torque is something you want to see at this stage. He clearly has line drive/gap power, but the improved strength and torque generated in his swing suggest that he could be a special player with power to all fields.
His lower half starts out on solid foundation as he rocks back ever so slightly with a little height in the leg kick. The leg kick provides a tremendous amount of force forward with surprisingly little effort. Machado shows solid weight transfer at extension, getting everything out of his body into the swing.
He has an exaggerated rolled ankle with the front foot, and drag with the back foot — all within a solid lower frame. His swing showcases a solid turn attacking at and through the ball, extending into a tremendous follow through.
I have no doubt that Machado has the skills to be a high average hitter with good power numbers. Once he masters pitch recognition and learns to adjust to pitchers, he will become a player that brings fear when he steps up into the batter's box.

PLAINVIEW- Any hope for the Borger Lady Bulldog Softball Team extending its 2011 season was quickly done away with on Saturday afternoon.
The Andrews Lady Mustangs scored 10 runs in the top of the first inning, setting the tone for the Lady Mustang 17-1 win in game two of the best-of-three series.
After winning game one on Friday evening, Andrews took the 3A Area Round playoff series two games to none to advance to the 3A Regional Quarterfinals this coming weekend against Lubbock Cooper.
This week, Borger High School senior golfer Will Paulsell will begin his final tournament as a high school golfer by taking part in the 3A State Tournament at Roy Kizer Golf Course in Austin.
The trip marks the second time the Borger golfer will have competed at the state tournament. Yet it will be the first time since 2008 the heralded golfer has had the opportunity to compete for the state title.
Back in 2008, Paulsell made his presence known on the area high school golf scene as a freshman, winning the district title and earning that first trip to the state tournament.
PLAINVIEW-Solid pitching and an aggressive hit-and-run style at the plate proved to be a great formula for the Andrews Lady Mustangs in game one of the best-of-three 3A Area Round series with the Borger Lady Bulldogs on Friday evening in Plainview.
Lady Mustang pitcher Shannon Hobbs used a good combination of pitches to limit the Lady Bulldogs to two hits, while Andrews combined for 13 runs on 18 hits in the first two innings to set the tone for the 19-3 win for Andrews.
Andrews opened the bottom of the first inning with three singles and a bunt to quickly take a 0-2 lead.
Starting on Monday, West Texas High sophomore Nathan Forrest will compete in the 1A State Golf Tournament at Roy Kizer Golf Course in Austin.
Forrest earned a spot at the state tournament by coming in fourth place overall at the 1A Region I Tournament two weeks ago.
In talks with West Texas High Coach Aron Graves, Forrest is believed to be the first golfer from West Texas High to qualify for the state golf tournament.

After falling to Howard College in the first round of the NJCAA Region V West Tournament on Thursday, the Frank Phillips College Lady Plainsmen tried to keep their season alive when they took on El Paso CC on Friday morning.
The Lady Plainsmen got off to a good start by scoring three runs in the top of the first inning. However El Paso would score five runs in the fith and sixth innings to come away with the 6-3 win, ending the Lady Plainsmen's 2011 season.

Eighteenth Century Fiction contains the complete text of 96 works of English prose fiction from the period 1700-1780, by writers from the British Isles. All of the most widely-studied texts are in the database, alongside others long neglected or unavailable. First editions have been used unless considered unreliable. Authors include Burney, Defoe, Fielding, Haywood, Johnson, Lennox, Manley, Richardson, Frances Sheridan, Smollett, Sterne, and Swift.
An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.

It's called Gross Domestic Product and it's one of the most closely watched indicators of the nation's economic health and well-being. That's because GDP measures the value of ALL goods and services produced in the United States.
This week, the government reported a first quarter GDP of 3.9 percent a pace that was solid but still fell short of expectations. Analysts blame the slower-than-expected growth on the swollen trade deficit and more modest spending by consumers.
The spending habits of Congress have been slightly more aggressive as lawmakers work to keep government programs running. Among the multi-billion dollar endorsements given this week was a bill to fund next year's farm programs.
The committee also voted Wednesday to add language to the spending bill barring USDA from transferring money to use for purposes other than originally designated.
The Senate Appropriations Committee has not yet approved its version of FY 2005 spending for USDA, a step necessary before both houses in Congress can agree on a unified bill.
Some key issues of the House spending bill include the level of funding for mad cow or BSE prevention and animal identification, and whether lawmakers will offset USDA-recommended reductions in crop insurance. This week's bill re-opened the 2002 Farm Bill by slashing funding for conservation programs, according to the Sustainable Agriculture Coalition. In addition, farm bill mandatory funding for rural development, renewable energy and agricultural research.
The 2005 agriculture spending bill funds farm and rural programs and the FDA. It provides 16.8 billion dollars in discretionary spending and 66.4 billion dollars for mandatory programs such as crop subsidies and food stamps.
On that note, the Agriculture Department announced this week that it will modernize the image of food stamps. The paper stamps issued under the government's Food Stamp Program will be phased out this month and replaced with a plastic card much like a bank debit card. According to the USDA, the program subsidizes food purchases for 23 million low-income Americans every month.
Ann Veneman, Secretary of Agriculture: "For 2 decades, electronic benefit transfer has been billed as the future of food stamps. I'm pleased to join everyone in this room today, the future is now."

The Arrival of Human Cloning
It's here. Don't get used to it.
May 27, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 35 • By WESLEY J. SMITH
Human cloning is finally here, and it is going to spark a political conflagration. First, some background.
Here we go.
The cloning era began when Dolly the sheep was manufactured in 1996. Dolly was cloned via somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). This is accomplished by removing the nucleus from a skin or other cell (in Dolly's case, a mammary gland cell, hence her naming after Dolly Parton). That nucleus is then inserted into an egg whose nucleus has been removed. The engineered egg is stimulated, and if the cloning works, an embryo comes into being through asexual reproduction. Once that happens, the cloning is complete.
If the cloned embryo is implanted in a mother—often called "reproductive cloning"—and all goes well, it develops like a natural embryo through the fetal stage to birth. Hello Dolly.
Many mammals are now routinely cloned—mice, pigs, cattle, to name a few. Monkeys proved a difficult species to create via SCNT until a few years ago, and even now scientists have not succeeded in bringing a cloned monkey to birth.
Human cloning has been even more technically challenging. But an international group of scientists announced in the June 6 Cell—a prominent, peer-reviewed scientific journal—that they created scores of cloned human embryos, developing four of them in a dish for about 10 days to the blastocyst stage (about 150-200 cells). This is the stage at which embryos created in vitro are usually implanted if they are to be gestated to birth. However, that was not the purpose of the recent experiments. Instead, the cloned embryos were destroyed and embryonic stem cell lines created—a process sometimes called "therapeutic cloning." While these scientists have no interest in reproductive cloning, if a cloned baby is ever born, their experiments will have been a big step toward making it possible.
The successful cloning of human beings—whether for research or birth—is momentous: Even if the technique is used only in pursuit of biological knowledge and medical treatments, those will come at the very high ethical price of manufacturing human life for the purpose of harvesting it like a corn crop—that is, for the purpose of destroying it.
Cloning, moreover, is essential to foreseeable endeavors such as the genetic engineering of embryos, the creation of human/animal chimeras, the gestation of cloned fetuses in artificial wombs as a means of obtaining patient-compatible organs, and eventually the birth of cloned babies. With the struggle over whether and to what extent the technology should be regulated still unresolved, we can expect fiery contention going forward over matters like the following:
The legal status of human cloning. Competing bills are likely to be introduced in Congress and state legislatures, as they have been in the past, to outlaw human cloning. The devil will be in the definitions.
In particular, cloning opponents should beware phony bans that pretend to outlaw cloning but actually legalize the SCNT process using human DNA. This sleight-of-hand has been tried before. In 2007, Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) coauthored the Human Cloning Ban and Stem Cell Protection Bill, which not only would not have banned human cloning, it would have legalized it by codifying an inaccurate definition: "The term 'human cloning' means implanting or attempting to implant the product of nuclear transplantation into a uterus or the functional equivalent of a uterus."
But cloning is the asexual creation of the cloned embryo, regardless of whether it is implanted. A real ban would make it illegal to use human cells and nuclei in SCNT.
Public funding. President George W. Bush triggered intense debate by placing minor restrictions on the funding of embryonic stem cell research by the National Institutes of Health. Despite the false claim that Bush had banned embryonic stem cell research, he actually funded it to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
In contrast, the federal government is already prohibited by law from financing human cloning. Under the Dickey-Wicker Amendment, federal funds may not be used to create embryos for use in research or to support research that harms or destroys embryos. President Obama circumvents Dickey-Wicker by sophistry: Private money pays for the destruction of the embryos, then federal funds support research on the resulting stem cell lines.

The Windows 7 apple will fall close to the Windows Vista tree, at least in one aspect. The next iteration of the Windows client, will, just as its precursor, come in a plethora of editions, in fact, no less than six SKUs (Stock Keeping Unit) that Microsoft has confirmed officially. Windows General Manager Mike Ybarra revealed that Microsoft would deliver Windows 7 in the following flavors: Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate. However, fact is that, to the six main editions of Windows 7, Microsoft is bound to add more variants of the operating system, at least two considering the model of Windows Vista, taking the total count of Win 7 SKUs to at least eight, but certainly more than six.
"With Windows 7 there will be two primary editions: Windows 7 Home Premium, and Windows 7 Professional. We think those two SKUs will meet most customers' needs," Ybarra commented. Microsoft plans to focus all its marketing efforts on the two main editions of Windows, but the company also wants the 1 billion potential customers already running Windows to have a choice.
"Windows 7 Home Premium is the recommended choice for consumers. It gives them a full-function PC experience and a visually rich environment in everything from the way they experience entertainment to the way they connect their devices," Ybarra explained. "Windows 7 Professional is the recommended choice for small businesses and for people who work at home but have to operate in an IT-managed or business environment where security and productivity are critical. For those running Windows Vista Business, it will be a very logical move to Windows 7 Professional."
Just as Vista featured an edition focused on the large corporate customers, so will Windows 7 come to the table with an Enterprise SKU. And also following in Vista's footsteps, Windows 7 Enterprise will be made available to Volume Licensing enterprise customers via Software Assurance agreements. "This edition will not be available at retail or by OEMs for preinstallation on a new PC. Windows 7 Enterprise edition offers advanced data protection, lower cost compliance and IT tools to streamline PC management and help save costs, while enabling access to information from anywhere for business users," Ybarra added.
With Windows 7 Microsoft will continue to focus on emerging markets around the world, though this time with no less than two separate editions, but mainly Windows 7 Home Basic, while Windows 7 Starter, although offered worldwide, will be limited by the OEM hardware it is associated with. "We know emerging markets have unique needs and we will offer Windows 7 Home Basic, only in emerging markets, for customers looking for an entry-point Windows experience on a full-size value PC," Ybarra said. "We'll also continue to offer Windows Starter edition, which will only be offered pre-installed by an OEM. Windows Starter edition will now be available worldwide. This edition is available only in the OEM channel on new PCs limited to specific types of hardware."
And of course that the Windows Vista Ultimate edition will be followed by a Windows 7 SKU. Microsoft has so far tested mainly the Ultimate edition of Windows 7 during the Milestone and Beta stages of the operating system. Ultimate will be the high-end flavor of Windows 7.
"And certainly there is also a small set of customers who want everything Windows 7 has to offer. So we will continue to have Windows 7 Ultimate edition to meet that specialized need. Windows 7 Ultimate edition is designed for PC enthusiasts who "want it all" and customers who want the security features such as BitLocker found in Windows 7 Enterprise edition," Ybarra promised.
But what the Windows general manager failed to mention is that, on top of the six core editions of Windows 7, the company will be forced to add more. I am referring to the N editions of Window aimed for the European market where the software giant has to sell Windows with Windows Media Player unbundled. At this point in time Microsoft is offering Windows Vista Home Basic N and Windows Vista Business N. The N flavor will also continue to live with Windows 7. Microsoft will have to offer at least one N edition, with Windows 7 Professional N as a strong candidate, but my best guess is that the company will offer at least another SKU in an N variant, meaning that the lineup of Windows 7 SKUs will feature at least seven if not eight items.

Rtm Ski With 3Motion 4.5 Binding
The innovative binding system is structured in two separate pieces to prevent any unnecessary stiffening of the ski's middle zone. When working with short ski lengths and lightweight skiers, this is a big factor in making the ski behave more harmoniously. The toe piece of the 3Motion Jr is easy to reposition once the child moves up to a larger ski boot.
Product Details
Composite Core
A full composite construction created using a patented shaft production process. This unique process aligns all fibers in an orientation of optimal strength and duability.
Full Camber (On-Piste)
A camber ski does not have a varied edge length, it s always the same length. The constant edge length provides maximum control, precision and ride quietness in both gliding and slight edging situations.
Marker 3Motion 7.0 Binding
A segmented interface makes it possible to deliver better performance through more uniform ski flex under the foot. 3Motion was developed in conjunction with the new Power Grip construction technology, which, like Extended Double Grip, utilizes more material over the edge to provide better edge grip. Entry-level Junior binding for skiers 53-165 lbs. DIN: 2-7.

In this activity, advocated by Toby Fulwiler, a Writing across the Curriculum scholar, students reflect in writing on issues identified through sentence stems or prompts. It involves letter exchanges between students.
1. The teacher prepares an activity sheet with the prompts (sentence stems) for reflection. These can be presented as individual handouts for out-of-class assignments or projected on an overhead for in-class writing. Because these exchanges can be composed fairly rapidly, they are often effective as an active learning/reflective in-class activity lasting about thirty minutes. All assignment sheets begin with a salutation (Dear X) and end with a P. S. "One personal thing about me you may not know is:" Typical prompts might be: "I think the strongest candidate in the first Presidential debate was . . . because . . . "His strongest point was . . ."; "The 'Just War' tradition has relevance today because: . . ."
2. Decide how you will pair students.
3. Paired students, working simultaneously in class or outside of class, write a personal letter to their partner based on the sentence stems. They exchange letters, read them, and write a response focused primarily on the issues, but they may also address in their own P. S. a response to the personal comment made by their partner.
4. The partners again exchange letters so that they can read each others' responses (No one likes to write a letter without getting a reply!). The letters can be kept by the students without teacher review, but more often they are taken up, read informally, and returned where they can become part of an on-going class journal.

Artist Studios
The Museum's studio artist program is open to visual artists working in all media. While taking advantage of large, well-lit studios, artists provide opportunities for school and public audiences to observe art in process.
Studio artist Tracy Ference was born and raised in Northwestern Pennsylvania. She earned a BS in Psychology from Penn State University and attended graduate school at Robert Morris College in Pittsbrugh, PA. Married shortly after college, she started a family with her husband and began moving around the country with his career. In 2003, while living in Texas, she took the opportunity to fullfill a life long dream to study art and has been painting and studying since. While not formally trained, she attended workshops with some of the best portrait artists in the country. Studying the works of the masters such as Rembrandt, John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn and Nicolai Fechin are a continued source of knowledge and inspiration.
Her current projects include working on portrait commissions and exploring her new home through her paintings.

Alan O'Neal has lived and worked in Virginia most of his life. O'Neal earned a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1971 majoring in painting and printmaking.
From 1997-2001 he studied in the transpersonal studies MA program at Atlantic University in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with a concentration in fine art.
O'Neal's paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Anderson Gallery at VCU, the Marsh Gallery at the University of Richmond, and Plant Zero, Richmond, Virginia; University Gallery, Norfolk, Virginia; Second Street Gallery, McGuffey Arts Center, and Angelo Charlottesville, Virginia; Fine Art and Artists, Washington D.C.
Margaret Gregg got into the arts when she discovered a love in decorating for Christmas and parties as a child. Dance, liturgies, and festivals decorations followed. Gregg would design posters and publications related to the events. She then progressed into more interactive forms, such as film, video and theatre which were more focused on specific cultural, regional, and political themes.
Gregg studied at various learning centers with great people. She created a production line of hats and clothing in order to support herself. She believes that sharing a studio space at William King Museum of Art will continue to open more creative adventures on her path.

Another rad anniversary event: the imaginary poster show! (FREE and all-ages)
Posters can be a tangible reminder of a night that changed your life, or a beautiful piece of art to commemorate a show, and in most cases, they're both. It's like chocolate and peanut butter! Peanut butter and chocolate! However you like to do it, rad shows and killer posters are two great tastes that taste great together. And in the last ten years of our existence, we have definitely had our hand in helping to assemble a lot of great shows, and subsequently, a lot of great posters have been birthed as a result. We've had the good fortune of working with art shops and designers like at Seattle Show Posters, Corianton Hale, Pete Hilgendorf, Sam Trout, and Killorn O'Neill, among others. But you don't have to just take our word for how visually impressive this past decade has been -- you can get together with us for a very special First Thursday and come and see for yourselves.
You guessed it: there's another anniversary event brewing, and you're invited!
Come on down to 112 Printworks for October's First Friday Art Walk in Fremont on October 5th -- yep, that's just around the corner -- for a free, all-ages night of loving poster-gazing (and purchasing in some cases, if you're so inclined) for the Imaginary Poster Show. We'll have snacks and bevvies and a live music set from none other than Nana Grizol's own Theo Hilton (also of the amazing acoustic punk rock band, Defiance, Ohio). The night starts at 6pm with Theo Grizol taking the stage around 7pm.
Plus, the posters! Remember that time Visqueen, The Cops, and Tennis Pro played the Croc the summer of 2005? We've got the poster! Or, the unforgettable night that all your favorite bands covered the Magnetic Field's 69 Love Songs to a sold out Crocodile? We'll have that one too! Or our Top of the Croc birthday extravaganza -- all of these moments in time will be frozen on the walls of 112 Printworks for one night only, on Friday, October 5th.
Did we already mention that the event is free and all ages? We hope to see you there!
{112 Printworks is located at 112 North 36th Street in Fremont. Free / all ages / 6p - 10p}

In an older post I have shared a recipe for making ricotta cheese. Paneer or some call it Indian Cottage Cheese, tastes almost the same as ricotta.
It is a straightforward recipe, and hardly takes time.
However, I believe this cheese holds better than ricotta, Ricotta cheese is softer in texture than Paneer, only because Paneer is drained well from whey.
But in general there is nothing you can do with ricotta that you can't do with Paneer.
The first time I saw this cheese, I thought it's Tofu. Now, I know that many like to eat Tofu, but I just can't develop a taste for it!
What I like about Paneer is, when it's fried, it's crunchy from outside, creamy and rich from the inside.
OK, here is the recipe.
- 6 cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons water
- Salt to taste
- Mix water with lemon juice and keep aside.
- In a sauce pan add milk and salt and bring it to a boil. Keep stirring occasionally to prevent milk from burning at the bottom.
- When the milk boils, slowly add the lemon water mixture and gently stir.
- The milk solids will start to separate from they whey. Turn off heat.
- When milk solids completely separate, the whey will look greenish yellow.
- Line cheese cloths in a colander. Pour the whey with milk solids in to the cheese cloth.
- Collect the corners of the cheesecloth in your hand, with the other hand squeeze remaining whey from milk solids. You can do this only after it cools down, to avoid burning your hand.
- Place the Paneer while in cheesecloth on a cutting bored and place something heavy on top for 40 minutes. This will bring out more whey.
- Remove the Paneer from cheesecloth and cut in cubes.
- It's best to use immediately but, if you want to use it later. Place it in a Ziploc bag and freeze for at least 2 weeks.
14 Comments on How To Make Paneer – Indian Cheese
I love paneer! And I always make it at home Though I do not add salt.
I've made fresh cheeses like Paneer many times, and they really are quite simple to make. I suggest that if you use cheesecloth, you should use two or three layers; butter muslin works quite well and you only need one layer.
I have always wanted to make paneer…thanks for sharing the recipe. And yes, they look so much like tofu.
Dear Muna! I have tagged you in my 11!
I have not yet tried Paneer yet, but I heard the nearest Indian store carries it. However, I'm actually surprised with the simple ingredients list and instruction! Really? Maybe I can make it at home!
I love ricotta, and never tried paneer cheese, but looks fantastic since i am cheese lover:)
Great pics Muna, and very easy recipe.
my mother-in-law makes the most amazing ricotta. I swear it's also so amazing because of the milk in Italy:)))This paneer looks divine, Muna. Great job:) xx

MIRI: All allegations and mudslinging against Baram MP Datuk Jacob Dungau Sagan are aimed at making him look like an unscrupulous, heartless "monster".
"But I'm not a monster," he said after the launch of Katengah (Kawasan Telang Usan Tengah) pro tem committee initiated by six villages — Uma Akeh, Long Puak, Long Banyuk, Long Ikang, Logan Sibong and Kuala Tutoh — in central Baram Friday night.
The pro tem committee was initiated by the locals led by its chairman Peter Jalong Usan aimed to create a unified platform to develop the areas.
Sagan, who is also Deputy Industrial Trade and Industry Minister, was asked by reporters about allegations that he was trading the future of his constituents for millions of ringgit in benefit from the construction of Baram Dam.
"I don't want to comment on it," he said. "It is not the truth. Initially I intended to sue all my accusers, but then I had no idea who they really were as they were bloggers."
Concerning allegations that his family members' businesses were allegedly linked to him or had gotten indirect favours through his influence, he insisted that they were not true.
Sagan stressed that they won projects through open tenders without any link to him or his ministry.
"The attacks on me personally were carried out by the Opposition to mar my image and influence so that voters in Baram would reject me. All the allegations were utter rubbish," he said.
"I am very sad because Bruno Manser Foundation even posted allegations against me in Switzerland. (It's) not fair of them to attack me like that. I am trying to serve the people to the best of my ability; to develop Baram despite the limited resources. I'm not as rich as what my accusers say. I can't even afford to improve the house that I bought when I was a civil servant, and I am still staying in it."
On the rumour that issues pertaining to Baram Dam could adversely affect his chances of winning in the coming parliamentary election, Sagan agreed that some voters might be influenced by the arguments of the Opposition, but judging by reports on the ground his support base was still intact.
Sagan, who is also SPDP senior vice-president, said no doubt his people were very worried about the RM3bil dam project, but not to the extent of abandoning him because the alternative would be more terrible.
"From what I had heard from community leaders, opinion leaders, and various agencies and political networks on the ground, the support for me is still strong," he said.
The Baram Dam project is expected to affect some 20,000 people in 25 settlements including Sagan's longhouse at Long Anap, which will be at the deepest part of the reservoir.
Sagan said prior to and during the coming elections, the Opposition would no longer harp on Lapok Road like before. Instead the attacks are on him personally with Baram Dam issues as the main ammunition.

Please, don't anyone think I am ignoring them. I am attempting to multi task this latest "fun" /sarcasm with a thread I created before the event happened. Please bear with me, I am doing my best. I'm very surprised to get this much reaction on my first thread. Thank you guys so much! I've actually learned some great things from this and am enjoying the responses I read.

It began with a power outage. A power outage that went beyond lights and televisions. Clocks stopped telling time. Cell phones no longer received signals. Cars became dead relics that wouldn't start.
As the world around them becomes darker, so do the inhabitants of the small town of Westmont, Illinois. A mysterious and evil presence has taken a hold over the village, making the once peaceful town a place of violence and despair.
A small group of individuals, untouched by this presence, must uncover the mystery of why they remain normal and discover what (or who) is taking control of their town, one soul at a time.
Because the Man in the Dark Coat is out there. Hunting them.
And not everyone can remain untouched forever.

PLOS is pleased to announce that Seth Mnookin, a PLOS network blogger, science journalist and Lecturer at MIT's Graduate Program in Science Writing today received the National Association of Science Writers top book prize, its 2012 Science in Society Journalism Award. In naming Mnookin's book, NASW said:
In Panic Virus (Simon & Schuster, 2012), Mnookin tells the story of the dire consequences of the 1998 publication of a subsequently discredited paper alleging that the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine might cause autism. One judge commented that Mnookin "neatly dissects the issues behind the anti-vaccine movement, illuminating this intersection of science, politics and public health. The story is beautifully told, the people in it are compellingly rendered, and the missteps on all sides of the vaccine question told in clear detail. In the end, the book offers both a telling look at how human beings can complicate even the most straight-forward attempts to protect public health and a warning of the risks to all of us when we choose fear-mongering over good science."
A founding member of the two year-old PLOS Blog Network, Seth Mnookin has used his Panic Virus Blog to cover continuing controversies surrounding autism causes and treatments, focusing his recent attention on the proponents and health dangers of vaccine skepticism. Mnookin also consistently adds his critical voice to issues of journalistic ethics in science reporting, most recently with his incisive coverage of Jonah Lehrer's authorial transgressions.
After its initial publication in 2011, The Panic Virus received international praise: The New York Times said it was a "tour-de-force" and The Wall Street Journal called it "a brilliant piece of reportage and science writing" that "should be required reading at every medical school in the world."
Seth Mnookin graduated from Harvard College in 1994 with a degree in History and Science, and was a 2004 Joan Shorenstein Fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. In addition to The Panic Virus, he is the author of the 2006 New York Times-bestseller Feeding the Monster: How Money, Smarts, and Nerve Took a Team to the Top, which chronicles the challenges and triumphs of the John Henry-Tom Werner ownership group of the Boston Red Sox. His first book, 2004′s Hard News: The Scandals at The New York Times and Their Meaning for American Media, was a Washington Post Best Book of the Year. A native of Newton, Massachusetts, Mnookin and his wife currently live in Cambridge with their seven-year-old dog and their two-year-old son.
The National Association of Science Writers established the Science in Society Journalism Awards to provide recognition without subsidy from any professional or commercial interest for investigative or interpretive reporting about the sciences and their impact on society. The awards are intended to encourage critical, probing work that would not receive an award from an interest group. Beginning with the first award in 1972, NASW has highlighted innovative reporting that goes well beyond the research findings and considers the associated ethical problems and social effects.
The awards are especially prestigious because they are judged by accomplished peers. Winners in each category share a cash prize of $2,500, to be awarded at a reception on October 27, 2012, during the ScienceWriters2012 meeting taking place this year in Raleigh, North Carolina.

A bit of a problem here. Our tour was for 7 hours - reason is that the ship docks at Port Glenn approx 90mins form KL (depending on traffic) so theres 3 hours gone already for your day tour. The tour I chose was $59 and "KL Lite & easy" tour. It included 2 stops at the War memorial and Royal Selangor Club then approx 3 hours "free time". The "Free time" was where the busload were dropped off at the Petronas Towers and told to "shop to you drop" until 3.30 when the bus picks you up to take you back to the ship. Trouble is that the Petronas Towers are VERY high class stores (Tiffany, Chanel etc) and I can see all these stores at Singapore. Our guide advised us NOT to go wandering off as if lost we could miss our connection back to the ship and have to pay approx $150USD for a taxi fare back to the ship. This made everyone VERY nervous and anxious so we felt like "captives" of this gigantic mall. Lets face it - I'm a male.. being stuck in a VERY expensive mall for 3 hours isn't my "kind of thing" I will admit. I was hoping to sample the street life, markets and the real KL during this free time and not Chanel shops. Anyway we all caught the bus back and I got some great pictures of KL and despite the humidity levels it appeared to be a clean structured city and would like to revisit it again soon.Read avalon65's full Legend of the Seas cruise review

CHAD HURLEY SAYS HE DOESN'T REMEMBER. It's two weeks before the announcement of the Google acquisition, and he has just flown the red-eye to New York to make his case to Madison Avenue. He's turning right around in a few hours; he's stuck in yet one more conference room, and his eyes have the vacant look of someone whose body has a one-bar wireless connection to his nervous system. In a word, the dude is fried. Never mind that he's the cofounder of the Next Big Thing and poised to be a total tycoon; the question on the floor seems to have him stumped: What was the first video uploaded to YouTube by someone other than himself or YouTube cofounder Steve Chen?

He insists he can't quite recall, you know, the $1.65 billion moment.
"I think it was a few people from Stanford," Hurley offers. "People in a dorm room doing weird things."
Weird things? What kind of weird things, Chad?
"I don't even remember," he says. "That was so long ago."
Yeah. Way back in May 2005. But you can scarcely blame the 29-year-old if it's all a bit of a blur. In the intervening year and a half, YouTube has hosted many millions of clips – all because Hurley and Chen wanted a utility like Flickr for sharing videos. In a garage in Menlo Park, California, they built a simple interface and a one-click way to embed videos on other sites. It was a serendipitous innovation, coinciding with the MySpace phenomenon and yielding what Hurley calls "this" – as in, "It's all turned into this." Slouched wearily in his stackable conference chair, he seems a little bewildered, but maybe it's more like bemused. Ain't as though he has no explanation for all this. You'll find it in the company slogan: "Broadcast Yourself."
"Everyone, in the back of his mind, wants to be a star," Hurley asserts for probably the quadrillionth time, "and we provide the audience to make it happen."
Lots of people can now watch themselves on sort-of TV, which is pretty fun in itself. The bonus is that others want to watch them, too. Third-millennium humanity has demonstrated an interest in sifting through millions of pieces of crap produced by total strangers to discover a few gems – some accidentally entertaining ("Boom Goes the Dynamite"), some breakout performances from the previously obscure ("Treadmill Dance"), and some explorations of a new art form crackling with genius (Ze Frank, Ask a Ninja, and the guys behind Loneygirl15.)
Throw in the uploaded TV commercials, such as Nike's Ronaldinho spot showing the Brazilian soccer star miraculously volleying against the crossbar. Add to that some professional content either stolen from or surrendered by Hollywood. Altogether, this stuff constitutes a bottomless reservoir of short-form video content for others to siphon off if they choose. Which they do, millions of times a day, from pages all over the Internet. That's the demand side of the equation – monkey see, monkey use – foreshadowing the future of media, already in progress.
Forget "exploding TV." The name for this thing is Monkeyvision.
EH? MONKEYVISION. Pretty good, huh? How nice it must be to have big, slick magazines coining catchwords for the phenomenon you created. Even that's cold comfort, however, if you can't build an actual business around it. Which is why Hurley went to New York: to explain to advertisers why they should give him money to broadcast themselves. The bad news for his entourage is that advertisers have been broadcasting themselves for decades and would very much prefer the status quo. The good news is that the status quo isn't long for this world.
Without being overly simplistic or melodramatic, the state of the Old Commercial Broadcasting Model can be summarized like this: a spiraling vortex of ruin. Fragmentation has decimated audiences, viewers who do watch are skipping commercials, advertisers are therefore fleeing, the revenue for underwriting new content is therefore flatlining, program quality is therefore suffering (Dancing With the Stars. QED), which will lead to ever more viewer defection, which will lead to ever more advertiser defection, and so on.
In late October, NBC Universal announced a cut of 700 jobs as part of a $750 million retrenchment plan, which includes a moratorium on 8 pm comedies and dramas due, presumably, to advertisers' waning interest. Nearly a year ago, perhaps reading the writing on the screen, Viacom spun off CBS Corp. to protect the growth of the parent company. And CBS itself, madly trying to cultivate new online distribution channels, put fall premieres of shows like Smith and The New Adventures of Old Christine on Google Video. NBC used Yahoo to premiere Heroes and AOL to offer sneak previews of its Twenty Good Years and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. And the brand-new CW Network celebrated its debut by posting for free Runaway and Everybody Hates Chris on MSN. Counting cable, dozens of networks are now making programs available online.
The networks say these are measures to promote the broadcast versions of their shows. The overwhelming probability is that the opposite is true, which bodes poorly for those invested in the status quo. One victim is local affiliates, which get a big chunk of their revenue from selling commercial space within network programs. The Internet, needless to say, bypasses them.
The digital revolution is equally terrifying to Madison Avenue, which has been footing the bill for Gilligan's Island, The New Republic, The Family Circus, Rush Limbaugh, TRL, and The Wall Street Journal forever. Until now, advertisers have underwritten mass media to reach mass audiences. Indeed, they've paid increasing premiums for the opportunity as audiences have shrunk, because even in a fragmented media world, the largest fragment – network TV – is the most valuable. But now they realize that they are losing not only mass but critical mass.
They see the old model collapsing before them, and they have $67 billion to spend and no idea where to spend it. Because, at least until recently, the Internet has lacked both the riveting content and ad space inventory to absorb it. But what if there were a means to approximate the reach and mesmerizing power of television online? What if there were a medium with not only the grip of TV but the vast scale to absorb all those ad dollars? And what if, as a bonus, the medium were able not merely to command eyeballs for marketers but to target content especially relevant to what the marketer is selling?

September 18, 2007 - In the latest installment of HoyaReport.com's Speaks series, six foot eight inch, 205 pound junior forward Isaiah Armwood was interviewed at Charlie Weber's Maryland Invitational. Due to a non-AAU/travel team requirement mandated by his high school, Montrose Christian and its coach, Stu Vetter, during the school year, Armwood did not compete in the event, but nevertheless consented to being interviewed. During the course of the session, Isaiah touched upon his experiences and development this summer, as well as what he plans to do at Montrose athletically this year, college list, and the aspects in a school, basketball-wise, that are found important. ...More...

text: Aimed at teens the new juices are available not in supermarkets but at the places where teens hang: the ice barrels and refrigerated display cases of the nation's C-stores and delis. Snapple (recently sold by Chicago-based Quaker Oats to the Triarc Beverage Group of White Plains NY) in single-serve sizes had previously been available only in glass. But active teens require the portability and shatter resistance of plastic. So this package was developed and these flavors-Apple-cherry Strawberry and Grape-watermelon-are available only in this package. Suggested retail price is $1.29. Launched in April Snapple Squeeze is now available in most of the U.S. Snapple is quick to point out however that no wholesale conversion to PET is planned. Continental PET Technologies (Florence KY) supplies its hot-fillable ThermoPET(TM) bottle for Snapple Squeeze. The bottle has about a 35% post-consumer content. The five-layer structure is PET/PET/PCR PET/PET/PET. Hot-filling is done by bottlers whose lines are already handling Gatorade a former Snapple sister brand. According to Oriatti changes to the filling lines were negligible. Shelf life is shorter than for Snapple's products in glass bottles. But it's comparable to that of glass bottles of diet Snapple which contains an artificial sweetener instead of high-fructose corn sweetener. "We're used to distributing under such [shelf life] conditions" says Oriatti. Topping off the bottle is a push-pull sports cap from Creative Packaging (Buffalo Grove IL). The sleeve label is a two-layer lamination of white polypropylene on the inside and on the outside a clear PP that is reverse printed in eight colors. Lawson Mardon Label (Toronto Ontario Canada) supplies the label. There's more news from Snapple/Triarc. Wendy the comedienne with the heavy New York accent who symbolized the quirkiness of the brand as it went from nowhere to 1993 sales of $515 million is back. She's also touting her own orange tropic flavor: Wendy's Tropical Inspiration. The 16-oz glass bottle with lug closure is standard stuff. But unlike the other 50 or so Snapple flavors which carry pretty ordinary-looking wraparound paper labels this one has a full-body shrink label that's gravure-printed in seven colors. The polyvinyl chloride label is supplied by American Fuji Seal (Bardstown KY).

NEWPORT - In December 2006, Dr. Leslie Lockridge, MD, was hired by North Country Hospital to organize a fulltime oncology department. At that time, oncology was a one-day arrangement with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover, NH.
Lockridge was hired to provide full-time oncology and hematology services to patients suffering from cancer in the Northeast Kingdom. Patients would not have to travel to Hanover (about 110 miles each way from Newport) to receive their chemotherapy treatments, which are usually three times a week.
NEWPORT CITY – The Community College of Vermont (CCV) is in the middle of launching the Governor's Career Ready Certificate Program.
The program is free to participants approved by the Department of Labor. The 10-week course will meet three to four hours twice a week. Mercedes Pour, Academic Coordinator at CCV, told the Economic Restructuring Committee, which is part of the Newport City Renaissance Corporation (NCRC), that the school will be able to run a full class. A second class for those who can't attend an evening one may be held later.
NEWPORT, VT - This has been a tough week for Danielle (Bathalon) Wright of Coventry. It is the week she began to lose her beautiful head of hair to the ravages of her cancer treatment.
"My hair is beginning to fall out in clumps," Danielle said. "Well, at least it will grow back. At least that is what I keep telling myself."
ORLEANS CO., VT - The lack of snowmobliers in the area is noticeable. As of Thursday, the snowmoblie trails remain closed. However, snow and cold temperatures are in the forecast and many enthusiasts remain optimistic about the weather, even though the snowmobile season has had a slow start this year.
NEWPORT–Playing through rebuilding season can be tough road to hoe, and it continues to be so for the UCA Crusader girls, as they lost to Masse Vanier 60-37 Wednesday afternoon.
"We are really struggling out there. We beat our selves up and down the court, and we can't have that many turnovers and expect to be in games," said coach Sarah Roy
Having the game held at the Municipal Building made things a little trickier for the Crusaders, as they had to contend with strange lighting, a smaller court, and some very unfriendly rims to say the least.
NEWPORT–If you caught the second half of the UCA double-header on Wednesday, you had to be impressed with the skill set of the Masse Vanier Vikings boys team, as they built a 42-15 lead at the half, and then cruised to an 80-46 over the Crusaders.
"They are the best team we are going to face all year," said coach Tony DeLaBruere, "They are better than Websterville. they have five seniors, two juniors, and they are all big, can jump, and they can all play ball."
Lamoureux–– John of Delmar, NY, died on January 1, 2012 after a long struggle with cancer. Visitation will be held on Sunday, January 15 from 1-3 p.m. at the Riverview Funeral Home, Inc., 218 Second Avenue, Troy, NY. Relatives and friends are invited to attend. A time of remembrance will be observed at 2 p.m. For further information and online condolences please visit www.simplechoicescremation.com.

Red Sox fans saw their team die a slow death during the regular season. Yankee fans have to wait until late October to see their team die. What's the difference? If you don't win the World Series, it doesn't matter when your season ends.
It's 1-0 Rangers in the fourth. Still time to stall the inevitable.
(Editor's note: This is the first blog entry for sports editor Terry Nau on our updated website. Feel free to comment. I won't be writing about the Yankees again until next month when they sign Cliff Lee!)
12:15 a.m. -- Game's over. Yanks lose, 6-1, as A-Rod takes a called third strike to end it.
Rangers were the better team by a wide margin and will make an excellent representative for the American League in the World Series.
Interesting night at the office. We had two big football games today. Woonsocket came out of its bye week with a vengeance, beating Toll Gate, which came in with a 3-1 record, by a 48-0 margin.
The Villa Novans, who are the defending Division II state champions, made a major statement with this victory. Tolman may be undefeated but the Tigers better keep an eye on Woonsocket. The two teams met early in the season and Tolman pulled out a 6-0 victory.
Both teams have improved since then. I'm predicting right now that these are the two Division II Super Bowl participants.
Don't forget, the quarterfinal round of the Division II playoffs are set for the weekend of Nov. 12-13.
In today's other major game, Lincoln hurt its Division III playoff hopes with a 23-7 loss to Narragansett. The Lions fell to 3-3 in league play and probably need to win out to make the playoffs. Only four teams qualify in D-III.
In other games today, Ponaganset routed Pilgrim, 39-13; Burrillville stopped Scituate, 28-6 and Smithfield fell to EWG, 42-13.

Visitor Visa Insurance
If you are planning a trip to the U.S. for business, pleasure, or medical reasons, then you need a Visitors Visa. And don't forget about medical insurance!
The visitor visa is a non-immigrant visa for individuals traveling to the U.S. temporarily for business (B1 visa) for pleasure or medical treatment (B2) or a combination of both (B1 and B2 visa) purposes.
If you are visiting the U.S. on vacation or holiday, or visiting with friends or relatives, then a visitor visa (B2 visa) would be the appropriate visa type. Ultimately, a consular officer will determine the visa category you will need based on the purpose of your travel and your supporting documentation.
When you come to the U.S, it is important to have access to medical care and insurance that covers you for emergencies. While you are on visitor visa, you will want to consider insurance for any medical emergencies that could happen while you are in the U.S. HCCMIS offers Atlas America® insurance for those looking for insurance. Atlas America covers eligible sicknesses and injuries while you are traveling from your home country and while you are in the U.S. for up to 12 months. Atlas America can be a valuable addition to your planning to come to the U.S. on a visitor visa. With Atlas America, you get access to a whole network of doctors and hospitals in locations across the country willing to help you in the event of a medical emergency. Atlas America also connects you with the World Service Center, a team of customer service professionals trained to assist in English, Spanish, and many other languages in the event of a sickness, accident, or other type of medical emergency.
How To Qualify for a Visitor Visa
1. Prove your trip is for business, pleasure, or medical treatment. You must have documentation that shows your trip is for the purpose of business, pleasure or medical treatment.
2. Plan to only stay for a specific and limited period. The B1 and B2 visas are intended for a limited stay in the U.S., so be sure when you are proving the purpose of your trip, you make it clear you will only be there for a specific and limited time.
3. Have funds to cover your expenses. During your visa interview, your Consular Officer will ask you to prove that you have the necessary funds to support yourself while in the U.S., and to return home when your business in the country is finished.
4. Have ties to your home. You must also prove that you have a reason to come home. The U.S. wants assurance that you will only stay in the country for as long as your visa allows.
Visitors Visa Requirements and Documents
According to the U.S. Department of State, there are a number of visitor visa forms that need to be completed and supporting documentation provided in order to qualify for a USA visitor visa.
- Have a valid passport with a date at least 6 months past the time that you will be in the U.S.
- Complete the visitor visa application (Form DS-160)
- Pay the visa application processing and issuance fees.
- Bring one (1) 2x2 photograph. See the required photo format explained in Photograph Requirements.
Supporting documentation for a visitor visa can include:
- Documents that show the purpose of the trip.
- Documents which show the intent to depart the United States, and arrangements made to cover the costs of the trip may be provided.
As you are preparing to apply for a visitor visa, please remember that the U.S. Department of State recommends that some nonimmigrant visa holders provide proof of health insurance to establish an applicant's eligibility. Visit the U.S. Department of State's website to verify if this is required for your visa here. Individuals who buy Atlas America insurance are provided with a "visa letter" showing proof of coverage which identifies the visa holder's name, passport information, length of stay, and medical coverage maximums which can be taken to your visa interview appointment
