The folks over at HorrorBid.com have posted a few pictures from the set of Platinum Dunes' upcoming remake of Friday the 13th, many of which feature an unmasked Jason Voorhees. The character, played in this film by Derek Mears, a noted big-man and stunt performer in Hollywood, was played originally in 1980 by Ari Lehman.
This incarnation is directed by Marcus Nispel, who is the man responsible for bringing back The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for producer Michael Bay in 2003. And personally, I was impressed by that remake in that it was an intense experience, but it otherwise did not really live up to the original in the eyes of many fans. The Friday the 13th remake, on the other hand, appears to be getting a lot of great buzz from the horror community, including our own resident horror expert and rageaholic Robert Fure, who reported in with cast interviews at Comic-Con. For more on that, check out our Friday the 13th Comic-Con Report.
To see more of the unmasked Jason Voorhees photos, head over to HorrorBid.com.

Scoliosis Surgery: Anterior ApproachSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
The anterior approach for scoliosis surgery is done through an incision made in the front or, more commonly, the side of the body. The anterior approach may be used for middle or lower spinal curves.
This technique is better for severe curves, including rigid curves in adults. But it has greater surgical risks than posterior surgery alone. Surgeons often use both the anterior and posterior approaches when they operate on a person who has scoliosis. Using this combination of techniques, surgeons can remove discs in the spine and graft bone into the spaces. This is done to help make the spine more correctable.
Other techniques done with an anterior approach use large metal screws that are attached to each vertebra. Each screw has a large head with a hole for the passage of a rod that is tightened at each level. A brace or cast may be needed for about 6 months following surgery. This technique is not recommended for children younger than 10 years because of the small size of their vertebrae.
A new technique known as endoscopic spine surgery is being developed and used. This involves making several small incisions in the chest or abdomen and inserting a video scope and narrow instruments to operate. This method may cause less discomfort and allow for a quicker recovery and a shorter hospital stay.

Lunch With Anwar Ibrahim
The former Malaysian deputy prime minister discusses Shakespeare and his six years in prison.
The meal arrives, the food sparsely presented on earthy yellow plates. Anwar's features four large chunks of lamb, while mine looks like a clump of crisply cooked sausage rolls dusted with fine greenish powder. I'm a touch disappointed but when I pick one up it crumbles enticingly between my fingers, and, dipped into a spoonful of the thick, brown dal, tastes rich, charcoaly and pleasing.
Anwar seems especially happy with his pudina bread, mentioning again the supposed health benefits. I ask how he managed physically during the trial, mindful that following his release from prison in 2004—the charges were eventually quashed after six years inside—he flew to Germany for surgery, following repeated beatings. He sighs. "It has been hard. Very hard," he says, admitting that his back may need further work.
For all that, he seems surprisingly free of bitterness: prosecutors in Malaysia might have appealed his acquittal but for now he seems to be revelling in his status as a free man. The harshest words he has to say about his former boss Mahathir, who led Malaysia for more than two decades until 2003, is that he represents the "past face of Asian leaders ... of Asian values, condescending to our citizens; where democracy or freedom are seen as essentially western constructs."
As his thin fingers bring together small parcels of bread, lamb and dal, he tells me there should no longer be any reason to see a contradiction between Islam and democracy. "The vast majority of Muslims are under democratic rule," he says, "or are opting for democracy, as in Egypt." The old leaders—be it Mahathir, ousted Arab despots, or, by implication, Najib Razak, Malaysia's current elected leader—are out of touch with what he describes as a new wave of Muslim democracies.
What sort of leader would he be? Anwar mentions Turkey as an inspiration. It's an interesting one, given Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan is also accused of authoritarian leanings and making religious alliances that undermine his country's secular state. Anwar says the two men have similar hopes for Islamic democracy, and have discussed the wider opportunity presented by the recent Arab uprisings. "I talk about the Malaysian Spring, but our route will be elections," Anwar says, adding with a flourish, "It's going to happen very soon!"
Yet, even if you take Anwar's liberalism at face value, he still has domestic constraints to contend with, not least from his awkward and ideologically inchoate opposition movement, which combines a trio of parties representing liberal, ethnic Chinese and orthodox Islamic views.
He tells me that if he wins power in the election likely to be held this year, his goal will be economic improvement. It is an aim for which he again picks a western intellectual model, in the egalitarian ideas of Harvard philosopher John Rawls. I find it hard to imagine Rawls being a widely agreed upon reference point within his coalition, but it is equally hard to imagine this thoughtful man as much of a closet Islamist either.
Is dealing with his more orthodox Islamic allies easy? Anwar smiles, ruefully. "From time to time they would object to Elton John coming to the country," he says, "or to Beyoncé for dressing too sexily." But, beyond that, he says the three opposition parties agree on the need for basic rights and freedoms. His own beliefs help cement the consensus, he says: "If it was some non-Muslim, they'd think that I was a bit wishy-washy and easy, but, no, I'm a Muslim. People ask, 'Do you believe in the Koran?' and I can say 'Yes.' "
Pushing a little, I ask whether he would allow hudud, a controversial form of sharia law that involves corporal punishment for certain crimes, to be introduced in Malaysia. He looks pained, and exhales slowly before admitting this is "one of the more difficult issues I have to deal with". There follows a lengthy exercise in square-circling, in which he refuses to rule out their introduction but says they would need to be in line with other rights and also to have widespread pubic support. "We must reach a consensus, which is not possible in the foreseeable future, but what if you're given a situation where all Malaysians agree? Who am I to say no?" The explanation has a kind of logic, but it is also unsatisfying.
Anwar has by now finished eating, and is dipping his fingers in a bowl of warm water. I ask him how he found the meal. "Very heavy, but very delicious," he says, before singling out the lassi for special commendation. Our time is drawing short so we pass on pudding and order coffee, which Anwar has with honey.
I put the question that has been on my mind throughout, namely whether all this quoting of Rawls and Shakespeare is little more than an alluring put-on to gain admirers abroad. For the first time he seems riled. "I quote Shakespeare in Kuala Lumpur and the Koran in the Muslim villages but the message is consistent—and coherent," he says. The response is his most passionate, and comes with more hand waving than normal.
The problem of his twin world views cuts the other way, he says, with his friendships with foreigners—and in particular Jewish foreigners—used against him by opponents. "For the past 13 years they have accused me of being a Jewish agent or befriending Jews," he says. "In every village during elections these people put up photographs of me and Paul Wolfowitz."
But, he continues, speaking of rural voters: "You gel with them if you talk about the Koran as the essence of freedom. 'You are born free, you are all children of Adam, so why do you insult groups based on difference of race or religion or colour?' " Such attitudes are not popular with the orthodox religious establishment but he says the debate is healthy: "Oh, they say, 'But it's a different interpretation.' Well, let the other sheiks counter me!" he concludes, tapping the side of a nearby mineral water bottle for emphasis.
Anwar has a reputation as a fiery public speaker, and, as we prepare to leave, I ask him if he is looking forward to heading back and starting the campaign. He says he is, and I believe him, although I can't help but feel that he must wish his country didn't require him to contort this way and that, to try to bring west and east together. As we part I wish him well for the journey ahead, in both senses. I suspect it might be the last time he quotes Shakespeare for some time.

Updated: Alonso's chief of staff withdraws name from superintendent search
Updated: Tisha Edwards, Alonso's chief of staff who traveled to East Baton Rouge last week to interview as a finalist for the parish's superintendent seat, withdrew her name from the running, according to a story published this week in Baton Rouge's newspaper, The Advocate.
Edwards, the mother of a city school graduate and a current student, said Wednesday that she chose to withdraw her name so that her son can finish his middle school education in Baltimore.
Edwards was one of six semi-finalists for the seat, and took part in a public interview before the East Baton Rouge school board on Jan. 23. The EBR parish has held an unusually public search for a new superintendent, devoting an entire website to the search, and posting interviews on You Tube.
You can watch Edwards' interview, during which she is questioned for two hours, and discusses everything from her leadership style, to her efforts and accomplishments in the city, and the reforms she was hoping to bring to the struggling school system.
Original Post:
Tisha Edwards, right hand (wo)man and chief of staff for city schools CEO Andres Alonso, is a semifinalist for the superintendent seat in the East Baton Rouge Parish of Louisiana. According to Baton Rouge's local paper The Advocate, Edwards is one of six candidates who will be heading down south for a public interview in the next week.
She joins a pool of competitive candidates, including the parish's current Chief Academic Officer and a current superintendent, for the job. But she appears to be a serious one, according to Louisiana media reports, having been 15 recommended candidates from a list of 44 applicants, and ultimately one of six semifinalists solidified by a 8-1 vote of the the parish's school board earlier this month.
The East Baton Rough district has a website that makes public each candidates' CV and application. I poked around a bit, and it was interesting to learn a bit more about Edwards, who--despite her reputation for ruling with an iron fist--is referred to as the backbone of this system ( Many say she's responsible for the details behind the concepts). It also appears from her application that she was sought out by head hunters hired by the school district to conduct the search.
In her capacity as Alonso's chief of staff since 2009 and his special assistant the year prior to that promotion, Edwards highlights many of the accomplishments (negotiating union contracts, graduation rates, dropout rates, central office reorganizations, new schools) under Alonso as well as her stint as the founding principal of Baltimore Freedom Academy, which she led from 2003 to 2007. Before entering education, Edwards, who studied social work and law, made a career of social work and serving at-risk youth.
When contacted Wednesday, Edwards declined to comment at this time.
But, in Edwards' response to the application's question of "Why [East Baton Rouge]?" Edwards, who currently earns a salary of $175,000 as the second most powerful official in the school system wrote:"Being a native southerner, it has always been my ardent desire to return to the south to serve. EBR presents an opportunity to return home and assist my community in educating its children. It is my hope to use my professional experiences to help EBR to become a high-performing school system and leader in the region for educational reform."

In light of all that is taking place - particularly the fragmentation of community which enables tragedies like police brutality, stripping of employee rights, and gentrification of whole cities - it is time for us to re-establish a sense of unity and self-empowerment.
Come join a community of over 100 forward thinking activists in the state of Louisiana at RootsCampLA who are consciously building a cross-issue movement of solidarity. Whether your issue is worker's rights, the "suicide" of Victor White III, voting rights, education, women's rights, transit, racial equality, LGBTQ, healthcare, or housing - if it's about a more equitable Louisiana, then RootsCampLA is for you.
The idea is to bring together activists of all stripes and have an honest exchange of ideas and sharing of skills. When we learn from one another, we take away new ideas, make new connections, and strengthen our work.
This isn't your everyday gathering; it's an "unconference." Instead of pre-set powerpoints and "expert" panels, participants like you design sessions and decide the program. This doesn't mean "experts" aren't in the room. They are — many of them are you. RootsCampLA is about fostering homegrown talent.

So i have undone the torx screw on the brake lever resevoir and pushed the pistons back into place, then re-tightened the torx screw back up on the brake lever resevoir, have put the wheel back on the bike, with the rotor back in the right place. Now, however, there is no power in the brake. I have pumped the lever many times, but to no avail. I don't think i have lost any brake fluid from the resevoir. Can anyone help?

After being released from jail, he violated the terms of his probation.
But that's in the past. And maybe he's learned his lesson.
Bottom line is, he rescued the women after hearing screams from his neighbor's home. Ironically however, Ramsey told reporters, "I figured it's a domestic violence dispute."
That wasn't it for bad news for Ramsey. Angel Cordero, a neighbor of Ramsey, says he is the one who saved Amanda Berry.
Cordero told Piers Morgan, "I kicked the door at the bottom because I was trying to get it open because it was too hard so I got it at the bottom and that's when Amanda ran out of the house."
Adding, "The first one that talked directly to Amanda was me and she was the one that told me what was going on and she told me that there was two other women in the house." He did not mention Ramsey's presence.

The perfect beach weather is providing a perfect storm as regards appropriate public dressing for the culturally sensitive in Dubai.
The latest to raise a storm are reports of male beach-goers who stay close enough to the beach to feel comfortable to walk home, well, bare-chested.
They do have to walk a stretch of public roads and when they enter their apartment complexes, run the risk of offending families sharing elevator space with them.
Hathim Barak, an Egyptian businessman says of his experience at Dubai Marina. "My wife and my two daughters were with me, and these men did not have a shred of clothing on their upper body.
"Many people were staring at them, but they hardly seem to bother," said Barak.
When asked whether the men were coming out from the beach, Barak retorted, "They did not look as though they just had a swim. But even if they are, they should know that public decency expects them to wear a t-shirt or wrap a towel around them at least."
Public decency laws in Dubai require people to dress decently in public places. Recently, shopping malls and other public places have displayed notices requesting visitors not to wear revealing clothes.
Most of the foreign embassies and consulates also advise citizens to dress decently in public places to avoid being on the wrong side of the law.
The British embassy in their 'Understanding the UAE' section on their website, states: "Clothing should not be transparent, indecently expose parts of the body or display offensive pictures or slogans.
"Any form of nudity is strictly forbidden, including topless sunbathing.
"Swimwear should not be worn in any other area outside the beach, water parks, or swimming pools."
Anne Jonathan, an Events Manager from Australia tells Emirates 24|7 that it is common, especially in the new Dubai areas to spot men walking around bare-chested.
"I have seen it many times in Marina and the JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence) area. I don't know what these men think when they jump into a lift without their shirt on, and walk to a nearby supermarket.
"In our home countries, it may be common but it is embarrassing to see these people behaving with utter disrespect to the laws of the country," says Jonathan.
A top Dubai Police official speaking to this website said, "We will respond to a complaint if someone does call about men walking around bare-chested.
"However, we reason with the person involved and more often than not, that person understands.
We do not want to start arresting people for this, but people should be aware and dress appropriately in a public place."

Woodcreek Juniors fight back with 13-2 romp
Woodcreek Little League's Junior all-star squad was out for redemption Sunday night after falling into the losers' bracket of the Section 4 Tournament at C-Bar-C Park in Citrus Heights.
Woodcreek, which scored 111 runs in the District 54 tournament, was shut down in a 5-1 loss to Tri-City on Saturday.
"He was as good as it gets," Woodcreek manager James Penn said of Tri-City pitcher Logan Webb.
It was a different story Sunday, as Woodcreek bounced back with a 13-2 rout of Land Park Pacific.
"We told our players … we're not going to go to the World Series and not lose a game; it's not going to happen," Penn said. "It's a gut check. Our guys said they're up for the challenge."
Woodcreek scored two runs in the first inning on no hits and a little help from Land Park Pacific errors.
Land Park tied the score in the bottom of the inning on Garrick McCall's two-run double, but Woodcreek pulled away.
"We still didn't really hit the ball well," Penn said. "We may have had maybe eight hits. … A lot of breaks went our way. A lot of balls bounced and went this way. (Saturday) night we couldn't buy a break."
Leading 4-2, Woodcreek blew open the game in the fourth. With no outs, Nate Kaslan hit a bases-loaded triple for a 7-2 lead. Kaslan was 4 for 4 with four RBI and four runs scored. Brennan Spezia doubled in Kaslan.
Josh Smith pitched a three-hitter and struck out 10 in five innings to help send Woodcreek to a 5 p.m. meeting against Rio Linda on Monday.
"Most of my pitchers are ready; still got a lot of pitching left," Penn said. "We're going to use everyone who needs to be used to do what we need to do. If we lose, we go home. No use in saving somebody for Wednesday if we can't get past Monday."

Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian polymath painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, botanist and Leonardo was also revered for his technological ingenuity. He conceptualized, among many others, a helicopter, a tank, a paddleboat, a self-propelling cart, concentrated solar power, a calculator, the double hull and outlined a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or were even feasible during his lifetime, but some of his smaller inventions, such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire, entered the world of manufacturing unheralded. As a scientist, he greatly advanced the state of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics.

Conversing fluently, communicating effectively and problem-solving in diverse cultures, professions and social settings in spoken and written languages other than English are the objectives of the modern language department at ORU. In each foreign language course offered by the department, students develop their foreign language linguistic skills and deepen their knowledge and understanding of the history and culture of the people who speak that language. At all stages of their study, students are encouraged to develop ways to apply their commitment to Jesus Christ to the situations of the people whose language they are studying.
The Modern Language Department offers majors in French and Spanish as well as Modern Foreign Language Education (K-12). Minors are available in French, German, Hebrew and Spanish. All foreign language majors are encouraged to participate in a study-abroad program during their junior year. Study abroad courses offer exciting opportunities to gain valuable cultural insights as well as earn academic language credit.
Research has proven that the study of a foreign language enhances and increases facility with one's own native language as well as one's overall cognitive skills. Modern language majors at ORU are no exception and typically are outgoing, great communicators and possess increased cognitive flexibility.
"We are a global generation with a Great Commission. French allows me to be a barrier-breaker; it is a beautiful bridge that connects me to more than 250 million people! ORU prepares and challenges me and does so with a Christian worldview. I am being equipped with the love of Christ that overcomes all borders, boundaries, and barriers."
Language Lab and Cultural Center (LLCC)
The Language Lab and Cultural Center occupies two classrooms and hosts foreign language learning resources and equipment. The LLCC is designed to allow a group of students to work on a variety of activities simultaneously. The resources available at the LLCC are instrumental in developing language fluency.
French Club
Members of the French Club bring the French culture to the ORU campus through a variety of activities. Of course, students make their own crêpes every semester. From time to time the French Club shows movies housed in the Culture Center. Unforgettable Fêtes de Noël always involves a treasure hunt for cadeaux hidden throughout a professor's home.
French Honor Society - Pi Delta Phi
The French Honor Society recognizes students who demonstrate scholarship in French. The membership is composed of students and professors who are distinguished in the study of French and have demonstrated a passion for the French language and francophone cultures.
The skill of foreign language fluency provides increased marketability and increases potential salary in the global business world. With a major in French you can look forward to careers in:

ICO - Please rate this review
Having worked before as an Animator on Enemy Zero, a project from the underrated Kenji Eno for Sega Saturn, Fumito Uedas first game as Director, ICO, had a remarkable impact on the industry, creating a cult of dedicated followers and regenerating the debated question: Are videogames an art form?
ICO is a personal project in which Ueda performed multiple jobs Art Direction, Lead Animator, Lead Designer and Director in the approximately four years of development, including a PlayStation to PlayStation 2 transition. Both critics and dedicated gamers acknowledged the game, yet the sales dictated its cult status and underground recognition even after its re-release in Europe along with Shadow of the Colossus, its so called spiritual sequel - more prequel than a sequel, actually.
In fact, this is not a game for everyone: Ueda wanted to create something that transcended this designation and prejudice. His method of work was named Design by Subtraction, where every element is reduced to its essence, to a general and apparently simple definition that is entirely open to the players mind and imagination and to an infinitude of questions. We know nothing of the characters pasts. The dialogue is also scarce. And yet it is here that the gestures symbolize more than any word, thus enhancing the physical and humane part of ICO.
Who is the character Ico? Why has he been locked inside a cold stone cocoon, ready to be sacrificed for the good of the village and liberated by chance? Perhaps we will never obtain a solid answer. Perhaps not even Fumito Ueda knows it just yet. His second work, Shadow of the Colossus, is set once more in the ICO universe, not in the future but in an uncertain past. The connections between both are unclear as actual answers remain to be provided. There is only room for curiosity and speculation: what will Uedas new game be like? How will it make use of the current generation technology?
It is by chance that Ico encounters and joins Yorda, a spectre of light, princess of an immense and desolated castle. The boy is guided by impulses in blind courage and unfathomable determination. He releases her from the small cage within the greater prison and understands that, being lost and abandoned, he can but try to escape his fate, never leaving Yorda behind. And thus is forged a connection that stretches beyond verbal communication the princess, so frail and delicate, speaks a language inscrutable to Ico , a symbiosis that will lead them to defy the authority of the Queen and to try, against all odds, escaping from the castle.
ICO may appear to be a very clever and obscure subversion of classical fairy-tales, and indeed it is in its own fashion, but Uedas minimalism, as I said before, leaves an endless space for the player to interpret the meaning of this story. Personally, the main themes seem to be incommunicability and the passage from childhood to adolescence. The first is evident; the second: emancipation Fumito Ueda has said in an interview that the original concept of ICO began as an exploration of the Boy meets Girl premise. When the boy meets the girl he knows the only alternative is to run away from the castle and together find their own way; it isnt love or friendship that moves them they are two complete strangers that nurture a fascinating relationship throughout the adventure but, perhaps, the perspective of a fresh start, a new beginning far away from a world that cursed them from birth. The two horns seem to be the reason behind Icos imprisonment; Yorda seemed to be destined to become the new Queen, who appears in the game as a parental, greedy and over-protective figure. The mystical, ethereal and timeless world portrayed in ICO allows one to interpret the story as a parable.
Questioned about the sources of inspiration for his game, Ueda replied: It is difficult to specify as there were so many things that gave me inspiration. It could be TV commercials, films, music or places where I used to play as a child. His work is influenced by a myriad of artists, such as metaphysical painter Giorgio de Chirico to which is notoriously paid tribute in the cover of the Japanese and European releases. In what has to do with gameplay, many have referenced Eric Chahi author of Another World for his personal method of work. The original Prince of Persia, by Jordan Mechner, seems to be another work that reflects its influence in ICO for the physical presence of the place as an obstacle. The Legend of Zelda, by Shigeru Miyamoto, is a series where childhood is a nuclear issue, in particular. Ocarina of Time seemed to be a great influence (namely the concept of dungeon) and it may stand as a curiosity, but I remember vividly one scene near the end of Ocarina where Link has to cooperate with Zelda: she has the power to break and open some special doors, whereas Link (the player) has to protect her along the way from fiends.
If I was given the task of placing ICO within a specific genre, I would say it is a balanced hybrid of Platform and Puzzle. The irreverent absence of HUD is an attempt of liberation from a common denominator which seems to remind the player he is playing a mere videogame. The enemies creatures made from pure darkness are mostly revealed during the first hour and there will be no great surprises concerning this until the end. These foes are not interested in the boy himself, but to bring back the princess to her home. Combats are a panic moment in which we must protect her furiously, having nothing but a wooden stick as a weapon of defence for the first half of the game such a simple protection stands not only as a symbol of a desperate struggle but also an indication that the boy will not give up no matter what hardships lie in his way. The castle, its traps and natural hazards represent the true feeling of a constant menace as well as the Queen - the puppeteer of the barren play.
Ico and Yorda complement each other. Without her it would be impossible to unlock a few entrances blocked by statues the girl emits a light that forces them to break apart and to record our progress in the memory card the only time that were reminded that we are only playing a videogame. The interaction between them is done through a complex simplicity and a subtle system of context-sensitive actions a single button (R1) abridges their relation: we can call her, give her our hand (again, a strong symbolism) and help her get through certain obstacles. The gamepad becomes a natural and intuitive extension of our body.
Progression and rhythm adapt to the player, stimulating his intelligence through the countless puzzles and constructing an illusion of apparent freedom and exploration when in fact there is only one way and solution to each problem. This was one of the ways to go around the need of a HUD: to outline a clear path, provide clues in an almost subconscious way and plenty of time to think them over.
It is hard to analyse ICOs design in a cynical and objective way because the game isnt captured by restraining concepts like levels. We stand before an individual entity, much like another character: the Castle. There is no design there is (Digital) Architecture. One of Uedas goals was to create an unreal reality, underlined by the graphics, the majestic and impudent stage, a living portrait filled with camera artifices and careful use of lighting, in a natural spectacle that uniquely combines Cinema and Videogames the current obsession of the industry with Cinema does not encounter its pinnacle through blatant close-ups offered by Unreal Engine 3 and its mindless explosions, but rather by works like ICO. The quality of the sound accentuates the feeling of isolation and is accompanied by a feeling of melancholy and loneliness. The game also bears a very interesting existential tone.
ICO is an epiphany. It is an outstanding demonstration of talent and creativity which demonstrates there is room for the individual and for Art in a market dominated by generic First-Person Shooters and annual updates. It is the perfect fusion of various styles and influences that bring about original and irreprehensible mechanics. It is a fascinating way to tell a story, an intimate and sublime experience that shows the full potential of videogames as an art form.

Re: ICO - Please rate this review
Hi Ruben, its refreshing to see a retrospective-style review and I appreciate that you've put a lot of thought into your critique.
That said, I do feel that overall, the piece reads distant and exclusionary for readers who may have not played the game. Not having any over arching question or topic to frame the discussion also made for a scattered read; jumping what felt like one random point to another.
For all the analysis, while intellectually stimulating, I don't feel my soul any more enriched in my understanding of the game through you perspective. You clearly have a passion for this game, but a purely objective breakdown just doesn't seem to capture the spirit of your enthusiam.
Again, thank you for the submission.

Ryan Smyth was taken off the ice on a stretcher after Los Angeles defenseman Jack Johnson checked him into the glass at the end of the Avalanche's bench late in the second period Saturday night.
The Avalanche forward lay motionless on the ice for several minutes as trainers rushed out to attend to him.
Smyth was skating up the left side of the rink and was checked by Johnson just after dumping the puck into the zone. He rammed his head into area where the glass begins just after the Colorado bench. No penalty was called on Johnson.
Smyth scored two goals in the period before the hit, his 13th and 14th goals of the season.

A federal appeals court has ruled against the Native Village of Kivalina over a challenge of a wastewater discharge permit issued to the Red Dog Mine owners.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals released its ruling Thursday, saying Kivalina and others that joined the lawsuit didn't provide sufficient detail in their filing.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2008 issued the permit to Red Dog's owner, Teck Alaska Inc. The village challenged the EPA appeals board's denial of their petition to review.
The board found that Kivalina didn't demonstrate why the EPA's "responses to comments were clearly erroneous or otherwise warranted review."
The 9th Circuit Court upheld the EPA appeals board's decision, saying many of their challenge points were covered in the EPA's responses to public comments.

So im in an economics class and we are starting something called the stock market game. Basicly each team gets 100,000 dollars to pretend to buy and and sell stocks over a 10 week period. All stocks are bought and sold according to real time info from the new york stock exchange, american exchange and the nasdaq
who ever has the most money at the end of the 10 weeks wins.
so the question is...you have 100,000 dollars to buy stock with no risk(except losing the game) and try to make the most money in take weeks. What would you do?

Temple coach Tonya Cardoza spent 14 years to the left of Geno Auriemma, assisting the Hall of Fame coach in many facets of the construction of his national powerhouse.
But when it came time for his "media obligations" she was always busy doing other things, tending to her other duties.
But on Saturday afternoon, she was in the middle of a large circle of UConn beatwriters, all familiar to her, all happy to see her back at Gampel Pavilion with her own team, getting ready to coach the first NCAA game of her career Sunday against Florida.
"Am I similar to Geno? More than I ever thought I would be," Cardoza said. "There are times when I have to catch myself; my coaches tell me that I'm just like him, by the things that I say. And it's not like that I am trying to be like him, it's just that I've been around him for so long that he's rubbed off. My approach is a lot like his, but he's such a great coach, so why not? He's one of the greatest coaches ever and if I can be like him in any way, what's wrong with that?
"I've also found myself using so many of the same catch phrases. One thing I remember saying was, we were doing a lay-up drill and [when it would mess up] he'd always say, 'It's not like I'm asking you to cure cancer.' I've said the same things. I found myself saying and doing many of the same things he does.
"And I realize as an assistant coach, many of you have never seen this side of me. But I often go right after my players, just like he sometimes will. I got my technical for screaming at the refs. I didn't think I deserved it, but there are other times when I've been warned to back off.
"It was good for me because it made me aware that the refs weren't going to take any junk from me and I just needed to settle down. It's not so much that I am yelling at them, but I jump up a lot and sometimes hit things."
Coming back to Gampel stirs many memories inside Cardoza, but none stronger than those she shares with UConn guard Renee Montgomery, who considers her former coach much more than a mentor.
"Our relationship - everyone knew this, it wasn't a secret - well, she was my favorite," Cardoza said. "I was like her mom and she was like my daughter. It was really difficult for me to say goodbye to her. Even when I was looking at the Temple job, and had already interviewed, I didn't say anything so she was unaware of what was going on.
"When I did accept the job, and it was going to be finally announced, I had to let the players know before the media found out. It was really, really difficult. If I had to do it all over again, I probably would have told her before I told everyone else. Finally, I texted her and said that I wanted to meet the team and she had no clue what was going on. She was all excited about this meeting and then I dropped the bomb on her. She took it so hard.
"Our relationship, even now, I look at the paper, or I look at the box score and see how she is doing. I read a quote from her how she felt it may have been a blessing that I left for Temple because it helped her grow up a little more and not lean on me.
"Her relationship with Coach Auriemma has also blossomed and I'm just proud of her and happy that he actually retired her jersey [it was hung on the Huskies of Honor wall]. That's a credit to her because he's never done it for anyone else. . .I'm really proud of what she's done and I know she's going to have a great career in the WNBA."
Florida coach Amanda Butler on the strength of the SEC, which sent six teams to the tournament:
"We knew every Thursday and Saturday we were playing a team that was capable of being in this tournament," Butler said. "When you face those kinds of challenges week in and week out, it gives you confidence. It prepares you, mentally, maybe more than physically, for what you're going to face [in the NCAA]."

Most of the time the baby breaks out of the habit alone and you should be able to nurse him for as long as you see fit. Just make sure you have a hand near his mouth and be prepared to shove a pinky through the corner of his mouth whenever he begins to clamp down. Do this every time and eventually the baby will get the idea. Remember that at seven weeks, your baby is still so new to the world. Some babies pick up breastfeeding with no problems and other's need a little guidance. It's no big deal, just "coach" him through it.posted 03/02/2011 by cmeilin81

Comments On May 03, 2016:This is a great deal. Pair this chain with a quality steel sprocket and it will last a long time. This chain is just as good as the name brand chains that cost twice as much.

Comments On Mar 21, 2016:Gold fades after a while and the master link needs a press to fit the 4 o rings in between the pieces so I installed with only 2 orings. Clip has not come off and the chain has not stretched that much even after heavy use.

Comments On Mar 14, 2016:I have used these chains exclusively on my stable of dirt bikes for the past 10 years. The work great for the price. Initial stretch then forget about them. I'm pretty lame about remembering to lube them, as well. I typically get 2-3 seasons out of them. We ride Colorado and Utah trails year round.

Cross country championships bring opportunity
Resident: 'This is the best year that the traffic's run in 10 years'
Sunday, November 6, 2011
Athletes from across the state came to Jefferson City on Saturday for the state Cross Country Championships, flooding a residential area with added vehicles and traffic congestion.
In efforts to accommodate the added vehicles, city officials, in coordination with the Missouri State High School Activities Association, changed Ellis Boulevard to a one way street eastbound from Tanner Bridge Road to Rosewood Drive.
Steve Lochhead, a retired police officer who lives on the corner of Rosewood Drive and Winston Court, said the one-way change definitely helped the neighborhood traffic.

01/07/2011, La Cruz in Banderas Bay
We have spent the last week in La Cruz which is about 15 or so miles from Puerto Vallarta. We pulled in the day before New Years Eve and spent the first few days at the dock which was a treat. We had a great New Years Eve in the company of good friends Fred and Penny from the boat Tapatai and their friend Joe. Good food - drinks - music and people all for a reasonable price too! We returned to the marina just before midnight and went upstairs to the Sky Bar and watched the fireworks all around the bay. At any given time you could see 15 or so different fireworks displays as the big hotels each had their own show.
Since we've been here we have taken the bus to several places on day excursions. We spent a great day in a town called Sayulita which is a surfers paradise. There were lots and lots of people surfing, eating, hanging out, shopping and whatnot. Really busy place and quite fun to experience. Another day Ian and I went to Puerto Vallarta and went to the market to buy blankets for the cockpit. The cushions we have are covered in vinyl and in this heat you stick to them so I wanted to cover them. Puerto Vallarta is not my scene. Too busy and I can't stand the constant pressure from all of the vendors everywhere.
Tomorrow we are leaving to head further south with our next destination being Chamela another little beachside town can't wait to go swimming again. (water is way to dirty in La Cruz)
you are having a great time. We are so happy
for you. Looking forward to seeing you in Feb.
Love always.
Got email from Elaine, happy new year sounds like you are having a good time. Keep the log going I will look forward to your emails. all the best Is retirement not great, Bruce retired Oct. what a blast.
The picture shows us firmly at anchor in Chacala probably on the highway somewhere! This is how off the Mexican charts are from the GPS position. They haven't updated their charts in many many years and they were surveyed in the late 1800's and early 1900's. So when navigating in these waters, you have to be very prudent and not rely on your chartplotter. Thankfully there are lots of Guide books written for cruisers and they often will have the GPS coordinates of some of the more dangerous rocks and reefs.
Chacala is a beautiful place with lots of sand and palm trees. 15 years ago we were there with friends Lynne and Harvey on their boat. Then there were a couple of small palapas on the beach and the town was one or two streets with a couple of small stores to buy basic supplies. There was one hotel at the very end of the beach. Now it is very different with many big palapas on the beach and the street behind the beach is store after store of anything you might need to get you through a day on the beach. There are many small hotels and the shoreline for many miles has beautiful homes built for the gringos mostly as they are very luxurious and the average Mexican would not be able to afford these places. Actually I don't think the average Canadian would be able to either!
The interesting thing about Chacala is that it is a laid back community and really only gets hopping at Christmas and Easter as it is a destination for the Mexican during these holidays. About 30 big busses a day come in the morning full of people from the various inland towns and cities and they spend the day having fun on the beach swimming, eating, playing and enjoying the day. Then around 6pm they all return to the buses and once again the beach becomes quiet. I guess the rest of the year the gringo population must help to keep the economy going somewhat. It's a definate place to visit if your looking for some peace and quiet away from the tourist scene - just not at Christmas or Easter.
We hope to stop in there again on our way north when it is a little quieter. It was fun to see everyone enjoying themselves but the blaring music gets a bit much.
Enjoy the weather and we will be down there soon when we get back in mid Jan. Save the warmth for us.
Best of the New Year to both of you.

Just a quick blog here as I'm in an internet cafe at 20 pesos for 10 minutes! Just wanted you to know Ian has not lost his touch after all. He caught this dorado about 5 miles before Chacala. YUMMY!

For the last 20+ years, Ian and I have spent Christmas with a wonderful group of people in Vancouver. We have for all of these years maintained certain Christmas traditions that brought much hiliarity and fun to Christmas day. One of these traditions is making a Christmas hat. This is usually done with the bits and pieces left over after everyone has wripped into their presents. So in the spirit of it all, Ian and I decided to carry on this tradition here in Mexico. You can see the results for yourself in the photo. Although we couldn't be with our friends this year, we were there in spirit and we did send them the photo.
It was a very different Christmas for us being here with out our family and friends. On Christmas Eve, we decided to go into town and see how the Mexicans were celebrating. The streets were full of people but that's not unusual as they often are, but there were lots of family gatherings going on and parties. As we got to the town square, there were lots of people there, the stalls were open for last minute gifts and people were just out and enjoying the evening. We walked down to a restaurant that had live music going on. We were the only gringos in the place it was full of Mexican families enjoying a nice Christmas eve dinner and entertainment. The music was beautiful Mexican folks songs that the audience seemed to be very familiar with as many of them broke into song.
As we left the restaurant, we heard the church bells ringing. It was 10pm and there was a service about to begin. We were looking into the church and listening to the beautiful singing as the priest came by and invited us in. We sat at the back of the church for about a half hour of the service and it was quite nice.
Christmas day was very quiet there were no fisherman going up and down the esturary, the town was very quiet as well. We spent a nice morning reading and making our hats, and then we cooked a chicken curry to take to the pot luck over at the marina. We met some very nice people at the pot luck and will no doubt run into some of them again along the way.
All in all is was a pleasant experience and now we have New Years festivities to look forward to.
We finally caught a fish! It was on the trip from Isla Isabella. We actually caught 3 fish that day but only kept the Dorado. The first 2 were Crevalle Jacks which are not a nice fish for eating. The Dorado was small but was very delicious. Actually when Ian caught it, he pointed out to me that it's mate was swimming along side the boat. I was depressed for about an hour afterwards. I wish he hadn't pointed that out to me. But it didn't stop me from eating and enjoying the fish. The photo was taken after the fish had lost all of it's beautiful green and yellow colours which happens when they die (that's depressing too).
We are still in San Blas and quite enjoying this small Mexican town. Yesterday we went on a Jungle Tour (see photos in the photo gallery). There were so many birds flying and turtles and crocs it was really great. The trip included a stop at a fresh water spring that you could swim in. The trip back, our guide sped through the water which was both frightening and exhilarating. Frightening because the river is about 12 feet wide and full of twists and turns and with the mangrove trees you can't see very far. There are other tour boats coming and going so you just have to hope that they are able to stop in time which they always seem to be able to do. Maybe they have supersonic hearing and can hear the boat coming towards them!?!
Today we went into to town for breakfast and to provision. Shopping in small towns is an experience as you always need to visit at least 4 different stores to get everything you need. First we went to one store that had good bacon. Then to another which only sold Banana bread, then to the market for veggies and fruit which meant going to 3 stalls to get what we wanted. Then to the hardware store. All in all, it takes about 3 hours to get 40 bucks worth of groceries but it is all a part of the experience. I enjoyed it much more that I ever did going to Safeway.
Tomorrow I think will be a beach day and there is a rumor of a Cruisers Christmas Potluck at the marina on Christmas day. So that is looking like the plan for now we will see how we feel in the morning...
Merry Christmas to everyone!
It's nice to see you enjoying your dream. Keep going.
Amiti�s sinc�res
All the best of the season to everyone. Health and happiness for the new year.
What an amazing place Isla Isabella is. You walk on the island and there are birds everywhere! Thousands in the trees and in the sky. And the Booby birds are on the ground as that's where they nest. The Frigate birds are in the trees or flying. If a Frigate bird lands on the ground it will die as they are not able to launch themselves from the ground they have to be on a perch or a trees or off the ground on something. When you walk around the island you see quite a few dead ones on the ground as they were unable to fly and there fore starved to death. We went for a hike with a guide while we were there. It was great because he spoke fairly good english and was really good at explaining the island to us. At one point we saw a Frigate on the ground and him an Ian were able to pick it up and launch it into the air. You do have to be carfull of the 6 inch beak!
We also loved the snorkling there. Fantastic! So many kinds of fish and in vast quantities. There were some small jelly fish though that managed to sting me in about 4 places. I'll need to find a licra suit I think for snorkling.
We were in the south anchorage with 3 other boats. Each evening we were there we all got together on one boat or another and had an evening happy hour. It was great fun.
We are now in San Blas we just arrived in town this morning so I'm getting my internet fix. We will stay a few days and then who knows where our next stop will be. We are living it day by day...
Merry Christmas to all of you and our thoughts are with you for a great Christmas season and happy New Year.
So glad that you are enjoying yourselves. See
you in Feb. Can't wait! Love ya!
So glad you are enjoying the best this year! Maybe next year there will be better!!
The Best Merry Christmas and an eventful New Year anywhere in the world!
Sorry we are in the cold but will be down soon.

I have an Emilano Freschi touring bike that is slowly turning into rust because it has been sitting in a dampish basement for about 10 years. Touring bikes by Emilano Freschi are rather rare. There's no place to store it in the house, esp. now that we have two kids. So, I've decided that is needs a better home than I can give it. I originally purchaced the frame new and built the bike up myself. I've been its only owner. It's been over many thousands of miles while touring the western U.S. and Mexico and never been in a crash. I rode this bike to my own wedding. I really don't want to part with it, but it will just degrade even further if it sits where it is.
Here are some photos. I'm more interested in finding a good home for this bike than getting top dollar, but I also want to be fair to myself. I found a collector that is interested. What would be a reasonable asking price?

Columbus being represented. Not a bad question. Has a manager coming out to argue ever resulted in the overturning of a call?
Does the Pine Tar Incident count, even though the "reverse" was later "reversed"?
Marty is saying he can "never" recall it happening.
Didn't Bochy just come out and argue the home run call and they reversed it into a double? Maybe they are excluding instant replay. A famous reversal from back in the day happened when Donn Clendenon was hit by a pitch but not given his base. Somehow shoe polish was involved.

Oh jeez. Now the SEG-man is stuttering his way through the Banana Phone.
In case anyone doesn't know, "SEG" stands for "(Bleep) Eating Grin."
Dennison was given the nickname by Bill Cunningham because he always has a "SEG" on his face.
Our 18U tournament over here at Champion Window field in Florence, KY is playing through this rain on the turf. My boy was the SP went 123 in the first then after a half hour delay he started inning 2 in the rain with error-hb-bb-bb. Ugh. They yanked him.
Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
The Shoe Polish incident, IIRC was in the 1969 WS and involved Cleon Jones. Jones was hit in the foot with a pitch and the ball bounced into the Dugout.
Gil Hodges took the ball to the ump, showed him the shoe polish and Jones was awarded first base. The next hitter: Clendenon, hit a home run.

Looking at thr radar, I think they will get this in without my issues- in September. I see no way they play today but that's just me I could be wrong.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
"Jones is remembered for being involved in a controversial "Shoeshine incident" in the 1957 Series, that would be repeated twelve years later by Cleon Jones in the 1969 World Series.[3] Jones pinch hit in games one and three of the 1957 World Series, grounding out both times. Both of which games were also won by the Yankees. Game four went into extra innings, and when the Yankees took a 54 lead in the tenth, the Braves were looking at the possibility of falling three games to one in the series.[4]
Jones led off the Milwaukee half of the tenth inning, pinch hitting for Warren Spahn. He jumped back from a low pitch that home plate umpire Augie Donatelli called a ball. Jones protested that it had hit his foot, and he was awarded first base after showing Donatelli a shoe polish mark on the ball to prove it. Yankees manager Casey Stengel vehemently protested the call, but to no avail.[3] The Braves scored three runs in the tenth, including a two-run home run by Eddie Mathews to end the game and even the series at two games apiece.[5] The play was the turning point in the series, as the Braves went on to win the series in seven games.[3]"
I demand an investigation. Over the years the Twins have regularly tanked to the Yankees but this is rediculous. Yankees had lost 5 in a row and were falling fast. So what happens- Twins are in the process of dumping the the entire 4 game series- in their own ball park! Something fishy going on here. Good job Twinkies.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
