Valedictorian four-figure GPA athlete
By: Jenifer Gee Journal Staff Writer
Graduating seniors says she will miss 'diverse' class
While Bear River High School announced it had a record number of 29 valedictorians this year, there is one student who stands out among the best of the best. Caitlin Billingham is the school's top student with a 4.272 grade point average she earned while swimming on the varsity team, playing basketball for the Bruins and participating in the Future Farmers of America. The modest 17-year-old, however, quickly gives credit to those who have helped her and highlights the talents of her classmates. She said she had no idea she was the top student until her counselor informed her shortly after winter break this year. "I was so shocked," Billingham said. "I'm not sure I deserve it. There are so many amazing kids in my class." Billingham was able to maintain her grades while actively competing in various sports and groups. She also challenged herself academically with a variety of higher-level courses including the hardest class she says she's ever taken — advanced placement physics. "It about killed me," Billingham said of the class. But she did make it through the course and says now she is glad she challenged herself. Billingham will continue to challenge herself this fall when she starts classes at Villanova University in Pennsylvania. She plans to major in biology to build a base education for a career in medicine, a profession in which many of her family members are involved. She said she hopes to work in pediatrics because she loves being around kids. "It's my favorite thing," Billingham said of spending time with children. Since the age of 5, Billingham has been a swimmer. She said she loves the sport because it has both the individual competition mixed with team camaraderie. "I'm not the most talented swimmer but I just love being out there and enjoying it," Billingham said. Billingham said she also learned an important life skill when she competed in speaking and debate competitions with the school's Future Farmers of America team. "It has taught me so much about being confident in myself," Billingham said. "It has completely trained me to speak publicly and I think by far has prepared me the most for the future." When Billingham looks back at her first day as a freshman at the Lake of the Pines-area high school, she said she remembers it as a very "nerve-wracking" day. Today, she says the feeling that she is ending her high school career is "bittersweet." "It's crazy to think that I'm graduating," Billingham said. Billingham will address her class during a speech at graduation Friday. She said she will talk about memorable moments for her class as well as facing change. She said she is confident her graduating class will accomplish "so much" as they grow up. "I think the most important thing about high school for me was just figuring out my passion and I think for all seniors in our class it was about figuring out more about ourselves and what kind of people we want to be," Billingham said. "What I'll miss the most is just being a part of a class that's so diverse and amazing." The Journal's Jenifer Gee can be reached at email@example.com or post a comment.

Johnny Carson on 'The Tonight Show': 7 Golden Moments (Video)
Monday marks the 50th anniversary of the debut of "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson," which set a standard for late-night programming that might never be matched.
Carson wasn't the first or last host of the show but he provided countless memorable moments between his Oct. 1, 1962 debut and his retirement in 1992. Here are a handful of standouts that come to mind as we look back on his legacy.

Paul Williams Goes Ape on "The Tonight Show"
Johnny Carson had many, many guests during his run on "The Tonight Show," but singer Paul Williams' Feb. 9, 1973 appearance was a little more special than most. Williams, who had been filming "Battle for the Planet of the Apes" (he played Virgil, in case you didn't recognize him), showed up on set in his costume to belt out a tune. Man, that's bananas.
Carson Makes a Boob of Himself
Carson interviewed famously top-heavy songbird Dolly Parton in 1977, which were clearly more relaxed times than we currently live in. Discussing Parton's physical bounty, Carson offered the line, "I have certain guidelines on this show, but I would give about a year's pay to peek under [Parton's blouse]," a line that became a classic and would likely get him slapped with a lawsuit today.

"The Tonight Show" Gets Rand-y
Carson's guests tended to lean toward entertainers, but in 1967 he welcomed "The Fountainhead" author and mother of the Objectivist movement Ayn Rand onto the show for a breezy chat about man's role in modern society and the morality of rational self-interest. Crack open a cold one and check it out below.

COLLATERAL star Mark Ruffalo is convinced he has psychic powers - because he predicted his 2001 brain tumour in a frighteningly accurate dream.
The 38-year-old hunk's dream was so vivid, he went to the doctor and discovered his premonition had been correct.
And after his successful recovery, he had another dream about telephones, which prompted him to become a phone councillor for other brain tumour sufferers.
Ruffalo says, "It wasn't like divine intervention or anything, though that's how people explained it to me.
"And I would never have gone to the doctor if it hadn't been for the dream. I'm open-minded.
"I was so desperate to get better after my surgery that I tried everything - energy healers, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, everything."12/06/2005 21:20


text: Posted 22 Sep 2007 So, I'm off to Spain for 2 weeks for a much needed break. If anyone was waiting for anything off me, I'm sorry but you'll have to wait a bit longer. I'll try and get most of the shit done when I get back, although it depends if I can be bothered at the time. If anyone really needs to get in contact with me about anything, drop me an email and I'll try to get some internet access while I'm there and check them. I doubt I'll post here even if I do get access, but I don't know yet. Anyway, later. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Live report from WWE Survivor Series in Boston
Nov 25, 2013 - by Mike McMahon
BOSTON – You all heard the chants. Minutes into the WWE title match between defending champ Randy Orton and Big Show, the Boston crowd at Survivor Series were loudly chanting "boring," along with "Daniel Bryan," voicing their displeasure with who was getting the title shot on the pay-per-view.
What seemed to start as a minor public protest escalated to full-blown anger when Triple H and Stephanie McMahon walked down the aisle as part of the finish of the main event. The "Daniel Bryan" chants had much more venom once The Authority was present, with a group of fans opposite the hard-camera side angrily and aggressively pointing their fingers at Triple H and Stephanie while shouting Bryan's name.
There was obvious frustration in the air, and it was that way most of the night.
At other times during the main event, the crowd was completely silent. You could have heard a pin drop inside TD Garden, even when Orton and Big Show were brawling on the outside of the ring. No one seemed interested.
Without exaggeration, there were a few hundred people who headed to the exit before the main event even went to a finish.
Here are some other observers from the live crowd:
– If WWE is blaming Daniel Bryan for poor PPV buyrates and dwindling ratings while he was in a top spot, they're clearly blaming the wrong guy. Sure, it's a chant and not the man himself, but "Yes! Yes! Yes!" chants were everywhere, including fans lined up outside the building prior to the doors opening, in 20-degree temperatures with whipping winds. There was a considerable line to get into the arena, with the doors opening about 10 minutes late.
– One other interesting note about Bryan, while his chant was definitely over with the crowd, I had a hard time noticing Bryan t-shirts. Obviously it's tough to know if this was just an anomaly in Boston, but perhaps he wasn't drawing money from a merchandising standpoint, put together with poor television numbers and that has perpetuated a change in WWE's booking of Bryan. Most shirts in the crowd belonged to John Cena and CM Punk. While not 100 percent sure, I believe there was only one Daniel Bryan shirt for sale at some of the merch tables.
– The Miz, despite being a heel, received a strong "wooo!" reaction when he went for the Figure Four against Kofi Kingston. Kingston, meanwhile, received a nice reaction to open the match. He's a local – grew up about eight miles north in Winchester – and was also the first intro of the night. Also during the pre-show match a loud "We want Ziggler!" chant echoed through most of the building.
– The building was mostly full from the seats that were available. No sections in the upper deck were tarped off other than the typical sections behind the set. In the lower bowl, most of sections seven and eight were blocked off for the pre-game show set.
– During the 5-on-5 elimination opener, there was a faint "Rey is fragile" chant from the upper deck, but it didn't catch on.
– The crowd went nuts for the Roman Reigns finish. When he popped off the ropes and delivered the spear to Mysterio to end the match, it was probably the only time that the crowd literally jumped out of their seats. It was the best reaction to any match finish the entire night.
– During the Divas' match, AJ and Natalya were the only two who really received any reaction while they were in the ring. The crowd was very into AJ, and got more excited for the finish than I expected. There wasn't much of a reaction until the later portions, when Natalya and AJ were heavily involved.
– Mark Henry received a good reaction and a nice pop, but it seemed like the surprise wasn't there. Boston's typically a smart crowd, and most people knew he was going to answer Ryback's open challenge. Similar situation to Booker T and Diesel returning at the 2011 Royal Rumble in Boston – people just weren't surprised. Still a good reaction for Henry, the crowd was definitely happy to see him.
After the match, there was a noticeable "you're a jobber" chant directed at Ryback from the upper deck.
– Crowd seemed genuinely surprised, and caught off guard, that Cena's match wasn't going to close the show. We now know why, with the angle they shot to end the night, but it's placement on the card caught some people by surprise.
– When Cena was introduced, he received his typical mixed reaction. The crowd was a little more pro-Cena than in the past, probably 60-40 split.
– The Cena-Del Rio finish was expected and fairly predictable, which made for a quiet reaction from the crowd.
– The building came unglued for Daniel Bryan's entrance; he received a bigger pop than even Punk and as far as ring entrances go, he had the best reaction of the night.
– A lot of the live crowd sitting near Bray Wyatt was heckling him during the match. Wyatt had some nice give-and-take with the fans sitting around his section as well.
– After Punk hit the elbow, a very audible "Randy Savage" chant broke out.
– People seemed so agitated with the Orton-Big Show finish, including The Authority's involvement, that when Cena came out after the match, he received a much bigger reaction. That 60-40 split from earlier in the night was probably 80-20, and after they shot an angle (after cameras stopped rolling) it was 90-10 Cena.
What happened after the show?
Immediately after cameras stopped rolling, Cena got on the mic and challenged Randy Orton to "find out who the better champion is" right then and there. Orton went to the apron to answer the challenge, but Triple H pulled him back down. At this point, the crowd is fully behind Cena, moreso than at any other point in the night.
As Cena kept antagonizing Orton, he slid into the ring but before he could stand, Triple H grabbed his ankle and pulled him out again.
After convincing Orton to head to the back, Kane, who was also on the stage, goes to enter the ring and is pulled back by Triple H.
After Kane tries a second time to get into the ring, and Triple H pulls him out of the ring by his ankles, Kane snaps, grabbing Triple H by the throat before Stephanie comes over to talk some sense into the monster.
At this point, the rest of the heels have left the stage expect Triple H. Cena gets back on the mic challenging him.
"You're from New Hampshire, I'm from Mass.," Cena said. "I have family here tonight, you have family here tonight."
At this point, Triple H is standing at the top of the entrance with his back to Cena.
Cena continued, "I know what's going through your head. I know you're standing there wondering, 'do I still have it?'"
That prompts Triple H to begin removing his jacket and tie, while also undoing the top buttons on his shirt.
Triple H turns around and starts marching towards the ring, but before he gets there, Vince McMahon emerges from the stage and grabs Triple H, instructing him to go back to the dressing room.
Triple H starts to walk away and then Vince removes his jacket and tie, and starts unbuttoning his shirt to get to the ring.
Stephanie McMahon reemerges from the backstage area to stop Vince from entering the ring.
After she talks some sense into the chairman, Triple H, Stephanie and Vince all raise each others' hands and walk to the back together.
Before Vince leaves he picks up his jacket and starts to shake it at Cena like a bullfighter inviting the bull to charge him. Cena responds with, "so that's best for business?"
Cena then closed the show talking about how strong the city is to a huge pop from the crowd.
What was interesting is Cena's popularity among the live crowd seemed to grow considerably throughout the night, but Bryan still seemed to be most over with the crowd.

Born on March 26, 1941 in Nairobi, Kenya, his father worked in the agricultural department of England's Colonial Civil Service, and his mother shared her husband's knowledge and enthusiasm for plants. After his father was called into wartime service with the King's African Rifles, his family returned to England in 1949 and settled into the family-owned country estate of Over Norton Park in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, which his father turned into a commercial farm. Raised in a standard Anglican home, Dawkins embraced the Christianity he later railed against until reading out the theory of evolution in his mid-teens and ceasing to believe in God.

Why College Girls Are Missing out on Motherhood
Byline: CHRIS BROOKE
ALMOST one in three of the country's most educated women are missing out on motherhood, it was revealed yesterday.
A significant number of ' thirtysomethings' with degrees are either choosing never to have children - or have left it too late.
Only around half of those who postpone having a baby by the time they turn 30, but who still intend to start a family, managed to do so in the following six years.
The Population Trends 2004 study by the Office for National Statistics revealed the price many women pay for putting their career first earlier in their adult life.
The figures are based on new analysis of a national survey conducted three years ago of women born in the late 1950s and now in their 40s and around the end of their reproductive life.
The report published yesterday revealed 28 per cent of women with degrees have remained childless.
And almost half of graduates end up having either none or one child by their early 40s. Only around 18 per cent have large families of three children or more.
In contrast, almost 40 per cent of women with no educational qualifications end up with large families.
The report says that the traditional 'nuclear' family of an average 2.4 children is being replaced by smaller, broken families with 1.75 children.
Nationally around one in five of all women born in 1960 and now reaching the end of their reproductive age are childless.
This compares to one in 10 women born in 1945 staying childless.
The study's author Ann Berrington, from the University of Southampton's division of social statistics, says in the report: 'A key question is whether the observed higher percentages of childless among more educated women are the result of planning or from perpetual postponement.' She said it was 'difficult to distinguish' between these groups, adding: 'Women need to be aware of the consequences of the choices they make regarding the postponement of fertility and have a realistic idea of the likelihood that they will end up with their desired number of children.' Norman Wells, director of Family and Youth Concern, said: 'These figures highlight the low status which is increasingly given to motherhood. There is a great emphasis on getting degrees and getting established in a career and even when women do have children there's great emphasis and incentives from the Government for them to return to work.
'The impression given from school onwards is that girls can set their sights higher than staying at home and bringing up children.
'That tends to be frowned upon and any girl who says her ambition is to marry when she is fairly young and have children and look after them, that is seen as being an oddity while in previous generations it would be laudable.'
He said 'two income' couples were often caught in a 'vicious circle' in which they want children but put it off for financial reasons until their 30s, when fertility problems can occur.
The study also found that women in their 30s are more likely to start a family if they are in the top 25 per cent of earners. …

Roll on the set of stairs in the center. Just make sure not to fall ;-D
5 years ago
There are no secret techniques to passing this part, but I can offer a suggestion. Before stepping on the switch that temporarily shuts down the flames around the chest, try running up and down the stairs for practice. This way you can practice running up the stairs without feeling pressured by the timer. If ever you're about to fall off, slow down, reposition yourself, and then keep going. The staircase does get slightly wider as you near the end. When you think you've got it, press the switch. It's just a matter of patience, but you will get it.

I'm moving from NoCal to SoCal and trying to decide how to pack Cricket my Bernina 730e. I got out her HUGE original box, but I can't remember how things go in the box. I think I need to attach the embroidery module to the sm, but I'm not sure so if anyone can assist I'd appreciate it. I'm also thinking of using her wheeled travel bag. If she goes in the bag she'll be on the floor of the back seat. She's done this before. If she's in the box she'll be secured and covered in the back of the truck. Palace is already in her box, but it somehow seems more secure than Cricket's box. Renee already lives down south and she can't wait to be reunited with her sisters. Any thoughts or opinions would be much appreciated. -- Edited on 6/13/14 5:18 PM --
------Palace - Babylock Ovation - She makes me feel like a Princess
Cricket - Bernina Artista 730e - Steady, Smart and Sweet
Renee - Berina 1100DA - My Tiny Dancer
Lilly Anne Bernina Virtuosa 160 - 5.5mm Sweetie
I moved mine in the original box. Mine is a 200 updated to a 730; wonder if the boxes are the same? My embroidery module went separately as I recall. Don't know if this helps!
R-r-r-ripping my way to fitting success
Mine is also 300/730. Thanks for the help.
I don't think it's a good idea to move or lift any machine with the embroidery module attached. I'd just use the rolling tote... I love how it has that velcro flap to keep the machine secure... I definitely wouldn't want it on a moving truck or in a trailer either.... If it bounces too much or something falls on it, these things are so expensive to repair...
------My machines listed in the order I got them:
Vintage metal Brother straight stitcher (Gretta)
Brother PC-420 (Benny)
Bernina Artista 200 (Miss Priss)
Vintage hand crank Singer 128 clone with LaVincendora decals (Vinny)
Vintage Baby Lock BL3-408 serger (still unnamed)
No ideas on moving. Sorry. But I love that you've named her Cricket. She does make cricket like noises.
Mine is Twin. My sewing buddy bought her 730e Nina at the same time.
------Impossible you say? Nothing is impossible when you work for the circus!
Let's make Better Mistakes Tomorrow
Please do not pack and move the machine with the embroidery module attached. It needs to be packed separately.
------ iPad's auto-correct is my enema.

Fashion Week brought the sartorial world's best-dressed to the tents in Bryant Park and we averted our eyes from the runway long enough to snap a few photos of some street style stars. We found out what price these passersby paid for their fashion, and how their spending habits inspire unique ensembles.
Photos and interviews by Hilary Moss.
Julie: "It's definitely a price-conscious decision when I dress myself...last week I found a vintage Christian Dior suit for $18 in Philadelphia."
Ilja: "I'm wearing my own brands...my shoes are the least expensive thing I'm wearing and I think they were like 300-something euros."
Lee: "My top was on sale for $40, but sometimes I spend on clothes. You have to be a little frivolous."
Laia: "Urban Outfitters is my cheapy store I go to to buy stuff. I buy things from there that are on sale but I don't ever buy anything at regular price."
Danielle V.: "Do you really want to know how much my shoes were? Should I tell you? Ahh, I can't."
Mister Lee: "I made my pants myself. If it's something I really, really desire so badly, I'll show my aunt the silhouette and buy the material for her."
Lonnie (left): "I'm wearing some vintage, Levis, some Zara, but I got my tie in a vintage shop for a dollar." Sydney (right): "I'm wearing jeans, vintage jewelry and Zara, but I got these jeans for five dollars at a sample sale."
Jessica: "I once found a 1920s little flapper dress that was all beaded and sheer down the back in a $10 bin at a thrift store."
Shail: "I'm wearing a suit that I conceived...inspired by Joan Miro...it's a canvas suit that my tailor made and after I gave it to my artist friend to paint. I design wearable art and this is an example of wearable art."
Leigh: "The least expensive thing I'm wearing is my rugby shorts."

Pictures of Kristen Stewart Kissing Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson Spotted Cuddling Up to Kristen Stewart on the Set of On The Road!
Robert Pattinson was the big draw at Sunday's Teen Choice Awards in LA, but he left California shortly after the show and headed to Canada to visit with Kristen Stewart and Tom Sturridge on the Montreal set of On The Road — he was even spotted nuzzling up to Kristen as they hung out yesterday afternoon! Their most recent display of PDA reminds us of the great day when we saw the duo holding hands. We can only imagine, but getting close to Robert seems to be an enjoyable experience after his Bel Ami costar Christina Ricci gushed about getting to kiss him earlier this year.

I miss Scott & want him back
i dont want scott to leave he is the best hes funny and nasty and so handsome..i cant hate creig when you look at him just want to hug him and shake him to be nice....
How can the studios stoop so low?? They have gotten rid of all the good veterans and are in the process of losing Will and Gwen (Jess and Jen) due to their writers. These so called writers don't seem to care about the viewers or follow precedents in background. Meg had a hysterectomy and turns up pregnant??? Plus other things that are totally out of character for the actors/actresses.
We want Craig?Scott back!!! He was such a good actor that everyone fell back in love with him, good or bad he played his part superbly. You lost Grayson and he was excellent and played his part well also. Stop firing our veterans or we will stop watching and stop buying our sponsors products!!!
Not only has Scott Bryce been let go, but Jess Soffer and Jennifer Landon are rumored to be gone by March.
They've gotten rid of all the good actors/actresses, Scott, Cady, Jess, Jennifer and probably others I can't remember. However, they have chosen to keep someone like Sofie???

Beat Germany, and the women's Black Sticks are guaranteed a place in the Olympic semi-finals.
Otherwise, the medal shot is in the hands of the mathematicians.
From 7.30pm through to 8:15am tomorrow a fascinating script will unfurl on the women's Olympic hockey tournament.
And while the good news is the Black Sticks' fate is in their own hands. The bad news is, one of the world's best teams stands in their way.
Ranked third in the world, Germany traditionally cause New Zealand (6) big problems.
Over their last 10 meetings the Kiwis have lost six times, including a 5-1 pounding in Bremen last month.
After struggling to an important 3-2 win over the United States on Sunday morning (NZT) Black Sticks coach Mark Hager, the man who has turned around the national women's team in two years, pointed to the disappointing last performance in north-west Germany as a major warning.
Potentially, it's a game New Zealand could lose and still make it through to the medal matches - but they would also need Argentina to beat Australia to emerge from a log-jammed group.
However, Hager - honest and uncompromising - refuses to play the odds game. Tonight his girls will be briefed to go out and claim three points.
"The good thing is we're the masters of our own destiny. Win or draw, and we're in with a chance," Hager said.
"There'll be a nothing to lose attitude, we haven't beaten them at a major tournament, the girls know that.
"They gave us a flogging a few weeks ago, 5-1. We weren't in very good form at that stage but I feel we're playing a bit better.
"They're very disciplined and very structured. We're going to have to make sure we are as well."
To find success against the Germans, Hager also knows his side must be much more ruthless in front of goal.
Despite dominating most of the 3-2 win over the USA, it was a game which New Zealand should have polished off at halftime - but for a recurring lack of edge in front of goal.
The Americans had two shots on goal and scored them both. New Zealand had 20 shots, and still had to rely on a Clarissa Eshuis drag flick six minutes from time.
"Creating chances is the number one priority, if we weren't doing that I'd e more worried," Hager said.
"We've just got to make better shot selections.
"I'm pleased we've got a sniff, that was always the goal ahead of what we knew was going to be such a tight pool.
"We wanted nine points after four games, we knew if we did that we'd be a show.
"We've done that, we just need to finish it off now."
The situation:
The women's Black Sticks will qualify for the semi-finals if:
- They beat Germany
- They draw against Germany and Argentina beat Australia
- They draw against Germany and Argentina draw with Australia
- They lose to Germany by four goals or less and Argentina beat Australia
The women's Black Sticks will miss the semi-finals if:
- They draw against Germany and Australia beat Argentina
- They lose to Germany by more than five goals
- They lose to Germany and Australia beat Argentina

Braves to place Chipper Jones on 15-day DL
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves are placing Chipper Jones on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised left leg.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez says the team has to make the move because it needs the roster spot to call up a catcher. Backup catcher David Ross left Friday night's 7-4 loss to Washington with a right groin strain.
Ross grimaced when he avoided ball four from Washington's Ross Detwiler in the second inning. Gonzalez says Ross will not need to be placed on the disabled list.
Brian McCann, who missed his fourth straight start with flulike symptoms, took over for Ross.
Jones missed his seventh straight start with swelling and discoloration in his left foot, ankle and calf. He was hit by a grounder May 18 at Tampa Bay.
ATLANTA — Davey Johnson was frustrated Ross Detwiler wasn't attacking Atlanta's hitters when given a four-run lead in the first inning.
Now the Washington Nationals manager has to decide if Detwiler will keep his spot in the rotation or it will be time to give Chien-Ming Wang a chance.
Rick Ankiel hit a two-run triple in Washington's four-run first inning, Ryan Zimmerman padded the lead with a three-run double in the seventh and the first-place Nationals beat the slumping Atlanta Braves 7-4 on Friday night.
Wang (1-0) won in his season debut. He gave up one run in three innings after taking over for Detwiler, who gave up three runs, five hits and four walks in 4 1-3 innings.
"I was a little disappointed in Detwiler that he didn't take charge and go after them," Johnson said.
Asked if Detwiler's inability to last five innings and Wang's strong showing could lead to consider a change in the rotation, Johnson said "Yes and no."
Johnson said he doesn't make those decisions "in the heat of the moment."
Johnson said Detwiler "has been outstanding all year long." He said the decision to take Detwiler out of the game with one out in the fifth "was especially difficult for me."
The Nationals moved two games ahead of Atlanta in the NL East.
After the game, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Chipper Jones will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised left leg.
"It's not getting better and we're starting to play a little short- handed," Gonzalez said, adding he has been told Jones will need the full two weeks before he can play.
Jones walked in one pinch-hit appearance on Wednesday in Cincinnati.
Detwiler threw 100 pitches while giving up three runs. He said Wang's return from the disabled list did not add pressure to his start.
"There's no pressure on me," Detwiler said. "I have to go out there and do my job. There's no added pressure."
Detwiler said his problem was his command of his pitches but he said they were close to the strike zone.
"It wasn't terrible," he said. "It's an easy fix."
Ian Desmond had a two-run single in the Nationals' first inning. The Braves cut the lead to 4-3 before Zimmerman's bases-loaded double off Tim Hudson in the seventh.
Jason Heyward homered in the eighth, Martin Prado had two doubles and a triple and Matt Diaz drove in three runs with two hits for the Braves. Atlanta has lost five straight, its longest streak of the season.
"I just didn't hold up my end of the bargain," Hudson said. "We should have won the ball game. Four runs, we should win."
Tyler Clippard pitched a perfect ninth with two strikeouts for his second save.
Wang entered the game after Prado doubled and Detwiler walked Dan Uggla with one out. Wang gave up a two-run double to Diaz, who was thrown out going for a triple.
Wang allowed three hits and one run, Heyward's homer, in three innings.
A left hamstring injury in spring training kept Wang out this season before he came off the disabled list on Tuesday.
The Nationals took a 4-0 lead off Hudson (3-2) in the first. Desmond's bouncing single up the middle drove in Bryce Harper, who singled, and Zimmerman, who doubled. Hudson hit Danny Espinosa with a pitch before giving up Ankiel's two-run triple to left-center.
Hudson recovered with five scoreless innings. He retired the first two batters in the seventh before walking Wang, giving up a double to Steve Lombardozzi and a walk to Harper. Zimmerman's three-run double to center field gave the Nationals a 7-3 lead and knocked Hudson out of the game.
Hudson gave up a season-high seven earned runs, eight hits and two walks in 6 2-3 innings. The four runs he allowed in the first inning topped the three he gave up in his previous three starts.
NOTES: OF Michael Morse, who has missed the first two months with an injured back muscle, is playing in extended spring training and is expected to begin a rehab stint at Class A Potomac on Monday. … 1B Freddie Freeman, wearing new contact lenses, was back in the lineup. He missed Thursday's game at Cincinnati due to vision problems caused by dryness in his eyes while wearing contacts. He also was fitted for new sports glasses on Friday. … Nationals ace RHP Stephen Strasburg will face Braves struggling LHP Mike Minor when the series continues on Saturday. Scotty McCreery, the 2011 American Idol winner, will have a postgame concert.

Remember Me
Donald Fagen of Steely Dan will make his debut as an author this fall with the
release of Eminent Hipsters. The book is described as "A witty, revealing, sharply
written work of memoir and criticism" in an Amazon.com listing.
Eminent Hipsters has a release date of October 22 according to Amazon.
Here's the full description of the book from the Amazon listing:
Musician and songwriter Donald Fagen presents a group of vivid set pieces in his
entertaining debut as an author, from portraits of the cultural figures and currents that
shaped him as a youth to an account of his college days and of life on the road.
Fagen begins by introducing the "eminent hipsters" that spoke to him as he was growing up
in a bland New Jersey suburb in the early 1960s, among them Jean Shepherd, whose manic
nightly broadcasts out of WOR-Radio "enthralled a generation of alienated young people";
Henry Mancini, whose swank, noirish soundtracks left their mark on him; and Mort Fega, the
laid-back, knowledgeable all-night jazz man at WEVD who was like "the cool uncle you
always wished you had." He writes of how, coming of age during the paranoid Cold War era,
one of his primary doors of escape became reading science fiction, and of his invigorating
trips into New York City to hear jazz. "Class of '69" recounts Fagen's colorful, mind-
expanding years at Bard College, the progressive school north of New York City, where he
first met his future musical partner Walter Becker. "With the Dukes of September" offers a
cranky, hilarious account of the ups and downs of a recent cross-country tour Fagen made
with Boz Scaggs and Michael McDonald, performing a program of old R&B and soul tunes as
well as some of their own hits.
Acclaimed for the elaborate arrangements and jazz harmonies of his songs, Fagen proves
himself a sophisticated writer with a very distinctive voice in this engaging book.
We look forward to reading about his old school, when he was 19 and time spent listening
to FM radio.
In less than a month Steely Dan will hit the road for a lengthy tour.
[Hat Tip - @stearlewine]

Ages ago a reader requested a biscuit post and now, in something of a dreary February brain hibernation, I thought would be the perfect time. Donna shot this biscuit while I was writing Ratio and what I love about it is not the ratio itself (3 parts flour : 1 part fat : 2 parts liquid) but rather how the rolling technique results in layered flakiness. It's kind of a cross between a pie crust and puff pastry. A pie crust is flaky because random knots of butter separate layers of dough and puff when baked. With puff pastry, one sets out to create precise layers of dough and butter, hundreds of them, by successively folding and rolling out a single block of butter encased in dough (called turns) for a uniform puff dough.

Learning to meter without light meter has its usefulness.
Imagine a situation when you are in the shade part of a street, the buildings behind you project a shade on you and your side of the street.
You want to take a picture of the other side of the road, a façade of a church in white marble kissed by the sun. The clouds play hide and seek with the sun, and you have to be fast if you want that light in your picture.
The user of "sunny 16" just select that exposure and he has a picture which is very probably quite right.
The user of a hand-held incident light meter must cross the road, measure the incident light, read that it is sunny 16, feel stupid for a moment, cross the road again, hope that in the meanwhile the light doesn't change. Crossing roads in Rome is not funny, motorists "don't take prisoners"
The user of a reflected light meter (whether in camera or hand-held) must measure the light on the other side of the road and then remember to compensate for the inevitable mistake that the reflected light meter will introduce when measuring a totally white object. The amount of compensation is always a bit puzzling as you have to "place" the white zone etc.
Which of the three methods is faster while guaranteeing an acceptable amount of precision? One can take a fast shot with sunny 16, seizing the moment and accepting the risk of a small exposure mistake, and then take the time for a measured and reasoned light reading for "fine tuning".
More in general the usefulness of the "sunny 16 rule" (or, let's say, choosing exposure by sight between LV 12 and 15) is that no light meter is accurate without a bit of reasoning, and as Benjiboy says "should be considered as a basis, in light of the photographers experience before making the exposure". That requires a bit of reasoning before making ANY exposure. The "sunny 16" can sometimes be just faster and more reliable.
In-camera meters are influenced by the background which changes continuously (dark or light, abundance of sky, relation sun-camera-photographer in backlit situations etc.) and can be definitely worse than using sunny 16.
Using an automatic camera will not solve the problem or can make it worse. Automatisms are only an emergency device.
As an example, while taking a subject which has a certain degree of back light during the central hours of the day, the "sunny 16" will suggest LV12 with a decently high degree of reliability while automatic exposure with a reflected light meter will be basically useless. Making a mental compensation to the automatic exposure is IMO less reliable than the sunny 16 rule.
"Matrix" metering introduces a random compensation based on what the camera thinks is the main subject. How is the camera supposed to know whether I want a silhouette of the "Petit Caporal" and have the background correctly exposed in this situation, or the statue correctly exposed and a burned background?
How can a camera think in my stead? Matrix metering is the worse of the worse as I cannot even "compensate" it as I don't know what the camera choose as important. With sunny 16 one just chooses EV15 with a guarantee of a correct outer exposure, a correct silhouette of the statue, not much reasoning and predictable results. And no walking forth and back for measuring what light there is outside.
Learning to meter without meter can be precious especially for "street shooting" when there is no time to even look at the camera setting. You know that your camera is set at 1/125@f/11 (100 ISO). You see a subject standing in shade (EV 12). You turn your aperture ring 2 clicks more open, focus and shoot, mentally counting the aperture clicks, without looking at the values on the camera and without checking the in-camera instrument (which requires "reasoning", analysis of the background etc). Especially with B&W, street shooting can be just "turn 2.5 apertures more open in shade" and "turn 2.5 apertures closer" for sun, leaving the shutter speed fixed and operating the aperture ring with extreme ease and speed.

414 Waverly Avenue, the proposed four-story home in the Clinton Hill Historic District, may be going up fairly soon. The design was approved by CB2 last summer but then sent back to the drawing board by the LPC last October. But a DOB permit shows an application was just filed to build the house. The LPC only advised that the height of the building be lowered and some of the window configurations be reconsidered, so there's a good chance the final product will look pretty similar to the initial design.

so boring compared to what a 'mid-century' modern would look like
It may not be thrilling architecture, but it's totally unobjectionable and a hell of a lot better than an empty lot.
lower three floors look okay but not sure about that top floor
How right you are. We've got all our permits in order and are just working out the underpinning details with the neighbors. We'll probably be doing a little exterior maintenance work on the neighbors before we start our building, making sure that the adjacent buildings' masonry is sound before we make it inaccessible.
As for the design, it was intentionally kept simple and contextual. The owners wanted something that would fit in and make the approvals process easier. Even still, it was a tough fight convincing LPC that a 3-story carriage house was not out of character for the period. We ended up presenting about 15 different examples of it as a "type" built in the neighborhood.
After that, there were many questions about the fourth story. Should it be the same as the others or should it be different? If different, how different? Should it look like an addition to an existing three-story building? We went through a few different design iterations, some very traditional and others much more interpretive. After several presentations to the commissioners, we've got a fourth story that's set back more and "recessed" into the third to keep the visibility down, and a bank of skylights making a sloped "shed roof" appearance facing the street.
I think what will make this project really shine will be the interiors. The owners have great taste and together we've come up with some really creative ideas and designs that will allow their personality to show through.
We're revamping our own website right now, and will be re-launching it soon. When we do, we'll have a lot more information on this building, documenting its progress through completion. We look forward to hearing your comments, on this project and others.

A diagnosis of an early stage of Alzheimer�s disease hasn�t stopped cookbook author Paula Wolfert�s decades-long career with food. But it has changed the direction.
The 76-year-old Wolfert, renowned for classics like �Couscous and Other Good Food from Morocco,� has been diagnosed with a variant of Benson�s syndrome, a rare condition related to Alzheimer�s.
That was the end of following the kind of complex, meticulous recipes for which she�s known. But it was the beginning of looking at food in terms of healing, rather than hedonistic properties, as well as speaking frankly about the disease in hopes of encouraging others who think they might have a problem to get tested, and treated, sooner rather than later.
�What I tell everybody is that denial is not an option,� she says.
Talking to Wolfert on the phone from her home in Northern California you�re prepared to feel sad, or at least wistful. But though she occasionally searches for a word, what you come away with is an impression of robust enthusiasm for her new mission.
�I loved being in food. I spent 50 years as a career. I did all the things I wanted to do and now I�ve taken that same energy � I wouldn�t say I was taking my knowledge of food � but I�m taking that same energy, and putting it into being proactive and trying to help myself stay stable,� she says.
Along with researching foods that may help her stay mentally sharp, Wolfert has made some informational videos for the Alzheimer�s Association. And she�s got some allies in the chefs who have followed her work over the years. On June 26, seven California chefs are putting on a dinner and silent auction benefit in Oakland to raise money for the Alzheimer�s Association.
The dinner, at which Wolfert will be a guest, is inspired by her achievements in food and her work encouraging people to get tested if they notice early signs of memory loss, says Russell Moore, who is hosting the event at his Camino restaurant.
�The fact that she is speaking out about Alzheimer�s is just really wonderful,� says Moore, whose own mother died of Alzheimer�s. Moore, who got to know Wolfert first through her books and then in person, isn�t surprised to see Wolfert taking on Alzheimer�s full-tilt. �It�s her approach; she�s all or nothing,� he says.
For Wolfert, the first signs of trouble were �so many little things,� like reading a book or watching a TV show and then immediately forgetting it. Then it got to the point that she�d read a paragraph in a newspaper and couldn�t remember what she�d just read.
She got tested and diagnosed. Then she began researching what kinds of foods might help or hurt mental acuity, using the same type of determination she once used to hunt down the best and most specific way of making the foods of the Mediterranean and Southwest France.
Some studies have suggested that a heart-healthy diet may lower risks for Alzheimer�s disease or slow the rate of age-related mental decline, but evidence is mixed and inconclusive.
Wolfert spent almost a year perfecting a smoothie recipe which she makes in batches every two weeks.
It�s quite the process, starting with bunches of kale and other leafy greens, lightly boiled, and going on to include blueberries, coconut and MCT oil (a type of oil generally made by processing coconut and palm kernel oils), protein powder, cinnamon, and a host of other ingredients.
�It doesn�t taste bad but it doesn�t taste great, either,� is Wolfert�s review. �I don�t care. I want to get it out of the way so I can have a great and memorable lunch with a hunk of protein, vegetables, salad, some aged goat cheese and a short glass of red wine.�
Good food�s still a part of her life; it�s just not the No. 1 priority anymore. �I loved good food. I appreciated good food. Do I lust for it now? No. I had to transition my brain to try and keep myself stable,� she says.
And there are other tricks and techniques. Now if she wants to read something and remember it she�ll read aloud. It�s just another coping mechanism in a campaign fought day by day.
�Nothing has happened to me,� she says, �that�s going to get me down yet.�

Dr. Mond has a quiet easy going personality but he's all "PROFIT DRIVEN".He has alot of RA patients on Infusions of Remicade and other biologics. He lines them upin chair and runs the infusion in real quick like an assembly line.The infusion is supposed to be at least 2-3hrs and he runs it in 30mins or less and doesn't take vital signs. He's also committing Medicare/Medicaid fraud. He says"I buy the medicine and then you pay me'.That's why I stopped going to him. When I refused to give him more money he wouldn't give me my Remicade anymore. He's cheap. Will skimp on everything including the bandages and IV bags
Doctor Mond is a good Doctor and caring it takes you a while to get use to his style. Once he gets to know you and your circumstances he will take good care of you and put you on the right plan of care. I love him coming from a 40 year old Lupus RA fighter. Who has given me some hope and life back at times and I am thankful for that.
I have been a patient of Dr. Mond's for 12 years now and as a long term patient i must say he has the bedside manner and always follows up with when i am having a ra flare, even if Dr.Mond is on vacation. he seems to put his patients first.Lisa Magana

minnesota concealed carryThe hype over gun control laws over the past few years has been winding down, and it's reflecting on gun permits. Over the past year minnesota permits to carry, the amount of issued has dropped. Every month, Minnesota Association of Defensive Firearm Instructors requests and publishes the number of active Minnesota carry permits from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Report of valid permits for applications received from 05/01/2003 to 4/30/2015 and valid on or before 4/30/2015 for all the counties. Total Valid Permits: 194,905 (See MADFI Report).View doc
What You Should Know About Minnesota Concealed Carry PermitThe fee for a new minnesota permit to carry will be determined by the county sheriff, not to exceed $100. A fee for a renewal permit (applied for before the expiration date of a current permit to carry) will be determined by the county sheriff, not to exceed $75. An additional $10.00 fee will be charged for those applying for a renewal after the expiration date on the previous permit, but within 30 days of that expiration date.View doc

Private Security Contractors in IraqThe United States is relying heavily on private firms to supply a wide variety of services in Iraq, including security. From the information available in published sources, this apparently is the first time that the United States has depended on contractors to provide such extensive security in a hostile environment, although it has previously contracted for more limited security services in Afghanistan, Bosnia, and elsewhere. In Iraq, private firms known as Private Security Companies (PSC) are currently providing security services such as the protection of individuals, nonmilitary transport convoys, buildings and other economic infrastructure, as well as the training of Iraqi police and military personnel.View doc
DEFENSE ACQUISITIONS, Issues to be Considered for Army's Modernization of Combat SystemsDEFENSE ACQUISITIONS, Issues to be Considered for Army's Modernization of Combat Systems Future Combat System (FCS) has been at the center of the Army's efforts to become a lighter, more agile, and more capable combat force by replacing existing combat systems with a family of manned and unmanned vehicles and systems, linked by an advanced information network. To meet the challenges of FCS's scope and schedule, the Army contracted with Boeing to be lead systems integrator (LSI), to help define, develop, and integrate FCS systems. Earlier this year, the Secretary of Defense proposed restructuring FCS to lower risk and address more near-term needs, shortly before FCS was to undergo a congressionally-mandated review to determine its future. The Department of Defense (DOD) and the Army have already begun to make programmatic and budgetary adjustments to FCS. This statement reviews aspects of FCS that should be considered for inclusion in future efforts, aspects that were problematic and need re-examination, and considerations for shaping future Army ground force modernization. The testimony is drawn from GAO's body of work on FCS management and acquisition strategy, including knowledge gaps, cost, affordability, oversight, and the Army/LSI relationship. GAO has made numerous recommendations aimed at managing FCS risks, but it is not making any new recommendations in this testimony.View doc
National Guard (In Federal Status) and Reserve ActivatedThis week the Army, Navy, and Coast Guard announced an increase, while the Marine Corps and Air Force announced a decrease. The net collective result is 241 fewer reservists activated than last week. At any given time, services may activate some units and individuals while deactivating others, making it possible for these figures to either increase or decrease. The total number currently on active duty from the Army National Guard and Army Reserve is 110,024; Navy Reserve, 6,792; Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 15,066; Marine Corps Reserve, 9,115; and the Coast Guard Reserve, 759. This brings the total National Guard and Reserve personnel who have been activated to 141,756, including both units and individual augmentees.View doc

Rated 4 out of 5 by 452 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by lg7128 Treated me like Royalty Just had a night stay there, and the agent at checkin was wonderful; she thanked me for my status, recognized my former stays there, and even noted that I had just had a birthday 3 days before! She said happy birthday; and when I returned to my room late in the day I found a gorgeous slice of chocolate mousse cake with a candle and some fresh berries. Over the top for recognition.....and very appreciated! The makeover of the hotel provides state of the art comfort and amenities; I love this hotel. October 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by June1968 Great staff Every staff person said "hello" to us and we felt very welcomed. October 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CaptNMatt Staycation This was a great getaway for us close to home. It was amazing that Starwood really takes care of there people. With the starhot program my sister saved us a lot of time and made our money count. I would highly recommend this property! To future unknowing guest and starwood employees! Thank you to everyone at the Westin South Coast Plaza for a wonderful staycation! See you soon! October 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emi715 Beautiful rooms the new renovated rooms were great! we had a wonderful stay. September 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by TTFN81 Perfect stay! Beautifully renovated rooms. Warm and friendly staff. Everything about our stay was wonderful. September 3, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Will14 Much Improved! This hotel is much improved since their recent remodel. Rooms are now completely updated with nicely appointed bathrooms. Service levels are what you expect from a Westin no more/ no less. Very convenient to SouthCoast Plaza shopping and restaurant options as well as adjacent to the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. I highly recommend staying there if in town for shopping or a performance. SPG recognition is satisfactory but don't expect to be upgraded. August 30, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ofie Nice hotel We stayed 1 night only for the OC Fair. We had a great time at the fair and stayed in the hotel to relax. Overnight parking is a bit expensive. The same parking garage charge $20 max vs. $27 charged by Westin. All in all we enjoyed our stay at Westin. August 9, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by SleepDeprivedGuest Got away from the noise to only endure more than if I had stayed home Left home to stay at hotel because of a huge event happening across the street from our home that was slated to run until 10pm Satuday and 11pm Sunday. Saturday night at hotel: we could hear loud rumbling either below us or above us, think it may have been below. Whole room sounded and felt like we were in a coal mine shaft. The vibration and loud rumbling continued till just after midnight. Sunday night: they put us in rooms on the pool side of the hotel. There was a wedding, i.e. loud music and all that accompany it until 11:30pm. I am happy for the couple - and yes, they should have a fantastic memorable event but as far as sleep went, we had to get up at 5am to get back to our home town in time for work. Getting 5 hours sleep at best wasn't what we had hoped for. In short, the hotel stay could have been exactly what we needed but in reality it was worse than staying home, enduring the RAVE and saving hundreds of $$. August 5, 2015

Australian cops busted the fugitive model again last Wednesday. Farrow's hideout on the Australia's Gold Coast was described as a "cheap hotel" by the Sunday Telegraph.

Simone Farrow, who often used the name Simone Starr in her modeling career, allegedly ran a methamphetamine ring from her Hollywood apartment.
Farrow, 37, allegedly distributed crystal meth by hiding it in bath salts packages sent in the mail.
Farrow was caught by Australian police on March 14 after roughly a month on the run. Two friends posted $150,000 bail for her in February. Her problems date back to 2009 when the DEA raided her Hollywood apartment and claimed to find evidence of a drug-dealing ring.
After her capture on Australia's Gold Coast and subsequent extradition to Sydney, Farrow told reporters that she was on the run because she feared underworld acquaintances wanted to kill her.
Farrow modeled for designer Ed Hardy's swimsuit line and appeared in Penthouse magazine.
Farrow allegedly used 19 aliases to distribute drugs.
Before her arrests, Farrow pursued a music career as a singer and often promoted her latest tunes on her restricted Twitter account.
She was extradited by flight to Sydney where she arrived crying. She told reporters that she was on the lam because her life was in danger.
"The only reason I've done this is because someone was trying to murder me," Farrow said, adding that she's had "relationships with numerous underworld figures."
"I wasn't trying to flee the country at all," she said. "I was trying to protect myself from being killed or harmed."
Authorities claim she used 19 aliases and concealed meth in packages of bath salts that were shipped Down Under from the U.S.
One member of the supposed trafficking network committed suicide in California after being contacted by U.S. investigators, according to the Sunday Telegraph.
