Crockett Jr. Posted: June 4 2014 7:32 AM 0 Justin Bieber performs onstage during the Believe tour in Helsinki on April 26, 2013. MIKKO STIG/AFP/Getty Images Justin Bieber's publicist has to be working overtime considering that the pop singer just apologized Sunday for a 2009 video that surfaced showing him telling a racist joke that included repeated use of the n-word in its punch line. Now a new video has surfaced allegedly showing the Biebs singing about killing a "n--ger" and joining the Ku Klux Klan. According to the British tabloid The Sun, the 24-second video reportedly shows the singer replacing the words to his song "One Less Lonely Girl" to "One Less Lonely N--ger." Ironically, "One Less Lonely Girl" was written by Bieber's mentor, Usher. An unnamed source told the Sun, "Unfortunately this is the devastating reality of how Justin has behaved and reveals his attitude toward such a deeply emotive subject. "People need to see this. Normal kids in society do not make these kind of jokes. He is protected by a network of staff, but the camera doesn't lie. This is the real Justin." While it is unclear when the latest video was filmed, the Sun reports that it was after Usher had signed Bieber to a record deal, which occurred in 2009. Read more at The Sun.

Fitness and nutrition expert Lisa Lynn says it may be your metabolism that is sabotaging your best-laid plans to lose weight and boost your spirits.
Lynn, a certified fitness trainer who is seen frequently on the "The Dr. Oz Show," says good nutrition, healthy supplements and the right combinations of food, along with exercise, can help people boost their metabolism, which burns fat and helps manage weight.
Another key to fighting obesity is finding effective ways to get moving and break the lethargy that many obese people feel that keeps them from successfully losing weight and keeping it off.
"Most people overeat because they lack energy," says Lynn, whose celebrity clients have included Martha Stewart.
And lest you think Lynn has always been a killjoy Skinny Minnie, she says she was once 40 pounds overweight and grew up in what she told "Good Morning, Connecticut" was an "an ice cream-eating, couch potato family."
She started taking aerobics classes at age 15 and six months later became an instructor and got on the road to fitness. She says she not only lost weight, but noticed that her depression lifted and her whole life improved.
Making nutritional adjustments and adding movement are good ways to get started.
For example, Lynn recommends skipping that morning mug of coffee and instead drinking three to five cups of green tea per day or MaCoca, an ingredient usually found in supplements, to boost energy.
Other tips include taking an omega-3 supplement around 3 p.m. in the afternoon, which will hold the afternoon "craving hour," during which you are more likely to hit the snack machine for junk food, at bay.
And if you need a boost at the end of the day, Lynn recommends a bite of dark chocolate, which she said will keep your energy levels turned up and keep stress levels down.
Lynn recommends what she calls a "metabolic fast," which helps her clients get their bodies into the fat-burning zone and reduce bloating while detoxifying the body's system. She said clients and students experienced some weight loss in the first 24 hours, and continued to lose as long as they stayed on track until they have reached their weight-loss goals.
Additional metabolic boosting steps Lynn recommends include:
· Try to drink a minimum of 100 ounces of water per day.
· Allow your body to feel hunger. It's a sign that your body is burning fat.
· Eat at least five servings or more of veggies per day to feel full and be regular.
· Keep a daily food journal.
· Perform daily cardiovascular exercise for 45-60 minutes to rev your metabolism. Do something that causes you to break a sweat, but refrain from over-exercising as this may contribute to overeating following your workout.
Once clients begin to see a shift in weight, their spirits tend to brighten.
The key to successful weight loss, Lynn says, is attitude.

UL Receives LT2 Compliance Testing Certification
UL is scheduling sample testing for public water supplies required to comply with LT2
Underwriters Laboratories Inc.'s (UL) drinking water analytical laboratory for second round testing received certification in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment (LT2 Rule).
WQA Awards First Activated Carbon Sustainability Certification
Kuraray Chemical earned this certification for a family of nine activated carbon products
The Water Quality Assn. (WQA) has granted its first ever product sustainability certification for activated carbon to Kuraray Chemical Co. Ltd. Osaka, Japan-based Kuraray Chemical earned this certification for a family of nine activated carbon products sourced from renewable coconut shell feedstock.
First Australian Plastic Piping WaterMark Certification Issued
NSF Intl. issues WaterMark Certification to Simon Co. for its HIM Safe polyethylene pipe and fittings
NSF Intl. has certified Simon Co.'s HIM Safe polyethylene (PE) pipe and fittings to the Australian WaterMark Certification Scheme for plumbing, water treatment and distribution products. Simon Co.'s products are the first PE pipe and fitting products to earn WaterMark certification from NSF Intl., and Simon Co. can now use the WaterMark logo on approved products and distribute to the Australian, Malaysian and New Zealand markets.
Heavy Metal Encore
Just when you thought you had read enough about heavy metal in the Unger household and heavy metals in water, I am back! Last month I discussed the various challenge waters used for testing filters that make claims for heavy metals. These challenge waters are influenced by the various water supplies across the U.S.
Testing procedures for heavy metal removal certification
Rock On With Certified Systems
It's a lazy Saturday morning at the Unger house. Mom is at work, and she left me and the kids (ages 11, nine, seven and five) a giant list of chores to complete while she is away. The problem is, we do not have much enthusiasm or energy to get them done — so what do we do?
Understanding the science behind heavy metal filtration certification
3M Purification Earns WQA Sustainability Certifications
Six 3M, Aqua-Pure and Water Factory Systems products certified under new standards
3M Purification is the first to achieve Water Quality Assn. (WQA) Sustainability Certifications under the new WQA Product Sustainability standards. The products include water filtration products for the home and water appliances. 3M Purification joined a task force of other leading industry manufacturers and suppliers to assist the WQA in developing a new suite of sustainability standards for drinking water treatment products.
Evaluating Electrochemical Treatment
The water treatment industry is constantly driven to find more sustainable solutions to treatment problems. Cation exchange water softeners are extremely effective at removing hardness, but are under attack in several states due to the salt and water they discharge during regeneration. Reverse osmosis systems are effective at removing total dissolved solids (TDS), but a significant percentage of the influent water is discharged to the drain as wastewater.
Electrochemical systems offer efficient alternative
Certification Standards for All
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region of the globe ranks among the lowest worldwide in terms of availability of renewable freshwater resources per capita. Protecting the limited supply of this vital resource is critical to public health, the environment and the economies of countries in this region. This article will explore the regulatory requirements for Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, as well as the adoption and recognition of NSF/ANSI Standard 61 in other markets.
Leading the Way
Adoption of standards in Abu Dhabi & around the world
Disinfection Systems Now NSF/ANSI Certified
Aquionics' line of pool and spa disinfection systems receives NSF/ ANSI Standard 50-2012 certification
Aquionics' UVSwim I line of pool and spa disinfection systems has become the first complete UV system range to achieve the new NSF/ ANSI Standard 50-2012 certification. The certification applies to all seven models of UVSwim I from 100+ to 4500+.
A Strong Foundation
A company is only as good as the foundation it is built upon. In the Water Quality Assn.'s (WQA) case, the foundation of the organization is quite literally its laboratories. The Performance Lab, constructed in the basement of WQA's Lisle, Ill., headquarters, conducts the first half of the testing of a unit seeking WQA certification. The Analytical Lab, also at the Lisle location, allows WQA to test samples on site in real time, providing the capability to see how a unit performs as it is running.

If so, state your case and if not, explain why.
I know he does play the nose tackle position but if J.J. Watt can be considered for MVP of the whole league, I dont see why Vince couldnt get the Defensive Player of the Year honor. I mean the guy does it all. Shows up every week and plays a high snap count and is the anchor of our Run defense as well as helping out on 3rd downs with pass rush the last couple years and I dont know any other lineman with the Size of a NT and Nimbleness of a Linebacker and smarts and instincts that our out of this world! It just really HIt me watching the game. I mean JJ Watt was all over the place and Hit Brady all day but obviously it want enough to make in impact as Brady still shredded their Defense. So I say, why not VINCE???

Ellagitan is a preparation based on vegetal ellagic tannins promoting refinement and polyphenols polymerization.
Its action mechanism enables to form the ethanal needed for binding the anthocyanins and captures the free radicals which oxidize wine aroma.
For these characteristics, Ellagitan is indicated to stabilize wine color and mellow astringency; its taste is soft, velvety and elegant.
The most suitable application is at the end of the alcoholic fermentation stage and at every racking.
Ellagitan, when used during the wine refinement stage, gives a great stability to wines intended for a long aging even thanks to its great ability to capture oxygen.
This preparation can be used also as a clarifier, enabling to reduce the quantity of bentonites and of the other agents necessary to reach the proteic stability, maintaining the colloidal structure of white wines and enhancing their gustative sensations of fullness.

New Jersey Obituaries - 1899 - Henry V. Murphy
Killed at Sandy Hook
Henry V. Murphy of the Highlands was killed at Sandy Hook last Wednesday by the explosion of a ten-inch gun which was being tested. Murphy and two other men got behind a bomb proof shield fifty yards back of the gun, but so terrific was the explosion that the breech-block was driven through the bank of sand and plank and was found later 2000 yards away. The breech-block struck Murphy in the stomach and cut his body in two, killing him instantly. The other two men were badly injured, but not fatally.

Vanessa Hudgens (Oct 16th, 2008)
Vanessa Hudgens winds her natural texture into glossy, twisty waves through her ultra-long hair.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Mix a half dollar-size amount of curl-enhancing balm along with a few drops of shine serum and apply onto barely damp hair. Comb through to evenly distribute.
Step 2: Take a random one-inch square section of hair and twist until it buckles upon itself. Keep twisting, winding hair into a rosette or mini bun at the root. When you reach the ends, tuck them in and pin the rosette into place. Continue until all hair is done.
Step 3: Allow hair to air-dry completely. Undo the pins and finger-style hair into place.

The RCC teaches that one is justified by faith + keeping the moral law of their own merit (synergism). This effectively treads under foot the righteousness of Christ for He was sent to fulfill the law that His people may live by His righteousness.
There are a multitude of heresies within the RCC but the doctrine of justification is "the article by which the church stands of falls." Clearly, the RCC has always had this doctrine wrong and all who follow the blind leaders will fall together.
God calls His people out of darkness as Paul. They will hear His voice and follow.
I want to thank you for a gentle response. My main point in saying what i did was to point out that a lot of reformed Christians come off as legalistic and condemning when talking about people they dont agree with. I am now in the reformed faith, and i am learning how we can't water down Christianity so that everyone feels comfortable. But like i said i think some reformed Christians, and all of us who are believers would do good to remember to speak the truth in love.
'There is a voice in the blood of the martyrs. What does that voice say? It cries aloud from Oxford, Smithfield, and Gloucester, "Resist the Popish doctrine of the Real Presence to the death!"
Cranmer..declaring the Pope to be Antichrist, and rejecting the Popish doctrine of the Real Presence.
With a light heart, and a clear conscience, he cheerfully allowed himself to be hurried to the stake amidst the frenzied outcries of his disappointed enemies. Boldly and undauntedly he stood up at the stake while the flames curled around him, steadily holding out his right hand in the fire, and saying, with reference to his having signed a recantation, "This unworthy right hand," and steadily holding up his left hand towards heaven. Of all the martyrs, strange to say, none at the last moment showed more physical courage than Cranmer did' J C Ryle Why Were Our Reformers Burned
XXXI Church of England Articles. Of the one Oblation of Christ finished upon the Cross...Wherefore the sacrifices of Masses, in the which it was commonly said, that the Priest did offer Christ for the quick and the dead, to have remission of pain or guilt, were blasphemous fables, and dangerous deceits.
SteveR wrote:As far as Im concerned, the writer of 1st John would consider their faith in accordance with his epistle. So I must not realize you know which words Catholics accept as truth from their catechism, and which they dont.
I have tried witnessing to Catholics, and all I ever get is aggression. This is because of brainwashing. They fear their priest. They fear being anathematised. They feel in their heart that "mother church" is a safe place to be. Cults all around the world are exactly the same, their adherents "feel safe" when within the fold.
It's all a sham!
John UK wrote:Steve, words are rather meaningless without the spiritual reality. For an example of this:1 John 4:1-3 KJV1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

It is far more than mere recitation, or a learnt parrot-fashion catechism. We're talking here about spiritual things, and these are things that the natural man cannot grasp, not until God quickens him in his mercy. It is not about religious liturgies, nor religious incantations, nor a religious sprinkling with water supposedly bringing the recipient to new birth. Christianity is a spiritual reality not mere forms. It is a work of God the Holy Ghost, not of magic-show priests.
Man can recite words, but without the Spirit, the words tally not with inner reality.
John UK wrote:Steve, if all Catholics accept that Jesus is the Christ, then all Catholics are born of God, are God's children, and on their way to heaven.Not true! Roman Catholics do NOT believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
III. Christ Jesus â âMediator and Fullness of All Revelationâ25
God has said everything in his Word
65 âIn many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son.â26 Christ, the Son of God made man, is the Fatherâs one, perfect, and unsurpassable Word. In him he has said everything; there will be no other word than this one. St. John of the Cross, among others, commented strikingly on Hebrews 1:1-2: (102, 516, 2717) 103 For this reason, the Church has always venerated the Scriptures as she venerates the Lordâs Body. She never ceases to present to the faithful the bread of life, taken from the one table of Godâs Word and Christâs Body.66 (1100, 1184, 1378)
104 In Sacred Scripture, the Church constantly finds her nourishment and her strength, for she welcomes it not as a human word, âbut as what it really is, the word of God.â67 âIn the sacred books,..

Not true!
Roman Catholics do NOT believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God".
It is all down to meanings and words and understandings, of which the Catholics are very adept at cunning subterfuge, disguising their beliefs couched in evangelical language. We are living in the endtmes, and thankfully, God's people are a bit more savvy than you might think, because of God's grace upon them.

What you are saying is that these verses don't apply to todays Church, and that by some strange quirk of time the centuries and culture has changed the rules???THAT IS WHAT THE RCC DOES WITH ITS "TRADITIONS".
What you are declaring is the LIBERAL method of theology whereby for some weird reason the LIBS teach that the Scriptures don't apply to today. They then can delete bits of Scripture which they don't like fabricating their own ungodly religion. By which they validate and legalize sins and transgressions - thus debunking the Laws and Doctrines of GOD!!
SteveR. You have identified yourself and convictions with the Roman Catholic organisation by defending them, which clearly is anti-God, antichrist and anti-Bible.

I try to be very careful with how I handle these situations, no matter what they might say, no matter what names they might call me, because I feel that if I were to drive them away, I've lost any chance I might have had to make an impact, and I'd probably be responsible for hardening them even more against the truth.Anyway, this particular topic frustrates me just as much as it does anyone else.
Now if you want to tell me that these so-called Christians believed the Catholic method of sacramental salvation, vainly working their way to heaven, then I must tell you before God that none of them will ever make it there; neither will they go to an imaginary purgatory to be cleansed from their sins. They must reject such false beliefs and come to Christ himself, as unworthy sinners seeking a worthy Saviour, and cast themselves upon his mercy unreservedly, bowing down to him, and saying, "God, be merciful to me, a sinner."

One of the biggest differences in the variety of baggy bike shorts is the thickness and quality of the chamois pad or crotch liner. There are lots of differrent thicknesses and densities of chamois pads. The chamois padding is sewn into a liner inside the baggy outer short. It is real important that the liner material be as stretchy and light as possible so that it is cool to wear in the heat of summer when you are most likely to be outside using the garment. Most padded underliners are made of a wicking stretch polyester that stays dry and airy under the outer layer.
The location of pockets on a pair of Mountain bike shorts is an important consideration. There are lots of different opinions on where is the best location. Some people view their legs as engines and don't want anything moving in their pockets while cycling. Other people want lots of pockets with zippers so they can carry everything they need accessable within a quick zip. Most road shorts do not have pockets, so if you need pockets you may want to consider a baggy MTB short. The variety of men's mountain bike shorts shown below represents a great variety of options for everyone who rides.
The fit of a baggy short is important because we all have a preference or two on the way our biking shorts should fit. Men's mountain bike shorts run true to size. They are loose fitting. Some people want a shorter inseam on the legs for coolness and air. Others need a longer inseam for protecting the legs from sun, briar bushes and branches. Most all MTB shorts have a stretch elastic waist with a drawstring which is essential to adjust the fit in any pair of baggy shorts.Reflective elements like piping, zippers and tabs enhance safety and visibility if you ride at night. Look for a bit of reflectivity that can alert automobiles that you are riding nearby. This is important to add visibility in low light conditions.
One important note about mountain biking is - the feet are often wet during rides through mud. A key element to comfortable biking is great socks.Mountain Bikers get really dirty with caked mud and grime, so Black Coolmax Socks or other types of wicking socks that can easily be washed and are essential to mountain bikers.

Yankees begin as frontrunners
By Peter Gammons
Special to ESPN.com
Sept. 29
It has been this way every year but one ('97) since Joe Torre,
Derek Jeter
Bernie Williams
Mariano Rivera
began their run in 1996: the road to the World Series runs through Yankee Stadium.
Derek Jeter has been a playoff catalyst for the Yankees.
Are they prohibitive favorites? No, because they, like every one of the eight teams in the playoffs, have warts and vulnerabilities. Hey, the Twins
get to the ALCS again. After all, they have been the best team in the league in the second half, they have the best bullpen of the four postseason American League teams and
Johan Santana
Brad Radke
are hot starters. So
Oakland, with a hot week from
Barry Zito
Tim Hudson
Ted Lilly
. Or the Red Sox, in some mano a mano version of the Thrilla in Manila.
But before you start planning on a Cubs-Red Sox or Twins-Marlins World Series, give the Yankees their props. They have not been healthy all season. Jeter is an October fulcrum unlike anyone else.
Mike Mussina
is not only 20-2 against the Twins, but he,
Andy Pettitte
Roger Clemens
have restored their starting pitching to near-April levels.
Jason Giambi
swung the bat the last week better than any time since he began dealing with knee and hand problems, and Mariano Rivera rolled through September.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the bridge from the starters to Rivera is something out of the Nepal foothills unless
Jose Contreras
emerges as a postseason giant. The defense is sometimes erratic (oh, that BaggyDome turf and mainsail roof in the daytime!), and the starters did get racquetballed by the Angels. Yeah, yeah, yeah, these are not your
Tino Martinez
But October is about pressure, and it is pressure that makes the Yankees the favorites, yet the most vulnerable. Torre, Jeter, Clemens, Rivera,
Jorge Posada
, et al, have dealt with expectation for eight years, and by and large, handled it with dignity and excellence. They survived injuries and the bizarre rantings of owner Phinneas T. Bluster to stave off what amounted to the invasion of the Visigoths dressed in Red Sox uniforms.
Yet there is a truth first written by the great and elegant Roger Angell, that when two teams end up in a protracted and passionate series, the team having the most fun wins. It has to do with who has what to lose and who doesn't. But check your World Series histories and explain how else the two worst recent teams to win it all in terms of paper talent -- the '85 Royals and '88 Dodgers -- beat the Cardinals and A's, respectively?
In this regular season, see
Marlins v. Phillies
, or the Red Sox. One of the year's most clichéd absurdities was criticism of the Boston players' celebration of making the tournament, when it was about the love of playing, the joy of being able to play in October and the rollin'-and-tumblin' fling these baseball lifers have had with the most passionate fan base in balldom, culminating in
Kevin Millar
Todd Walker
Derek Lowe
Lou Merloni
Gabe Kapler
running down Yawkey Way in their cleats and uniform pants with 500 fans in pursuit, then going into The Baseball Tavern, hurdling the bar and begin bartending.
The greatest barrier facing the Yankees is that they have to win. In George Steinbrenner's world, losing is not an alternative. If they win, they did their job, like a GM assembly worker, or a toll taker on the Garden State Parkway. If they lose, Phinneas T. Boss will ...
... be quoted a lot.
The Twins have nothing to lose. They are very good, they learned a lot last October, they have the BaggyDome and a lot of Corey Koskies, Doug Mientkiewiczes and Shannon Stewarts who can rise to any occasion. The A's have the self-imposed pressure of trying to win one time before the statute of limitations runs out on their $50 million payroll. The Red Sox have the pressure of the Calvinistic and misanthrope media, but
Nomar Garciaparra
David Ortiz
are seemingly immune to every dreary, irrelevant mention of Babe Ruth, Joe McCarthy, Bucky Dent or Bill Buckner. Chicago, of course, is a far, far different and forgiving baseball culture than New England, so the only National League entrant with the pressures of the past are the Braves, whose 12 straight first-place finishes don't satisfy some.
If the Yankees win again, they will have overcome more than any Marlin or Athletic will ever understand. But if the Yankees do win, they will not be allowed to feel what those Red Sox Visigoths or Marlins or Cubs would feel, because they're damned well expected to win at that price.
And the winners are ...
It is a game of performance, and if
Barry Bonds
Albert Pujols
Gary Sheffield
Jim Thome
Eric Gagne
Ivan Rodriguez
had played in the American League, they would be the Most Valuable Player.
None of them do.
Alex Rodriguez
had another great year. He is the best player in the league, he loves the game and he does care. But as Jayson Stark pointed out, when the Rangers most needed him, he wasn't playing well, and his role as Tom Hicks' advisor burdened them with so many (Chan) Ho Ho Ho contracts that it doomed them again. Sorry.
Carlos Delgado
Vernon Wells
have cases.
David Ortiz
First baseman/DH
Boston Red Sox
MVP is about value to a team, and that value comes statistically and, some years, emotionally. Three weeks ago Bobby Valentine called it -- "David Ortiz is this year's
Miguel Tejada
." Big hits. Emotion in the stretch when teams need heart and energy. In the stretch in Chicago, Ortiz had homered to put the Red Sox ahead in a crucial game, and when
Mike Timlin
allowed a home run to tie it in the bottom of the inning, the ESPN camera caught Ortiz with his arm around Timlin, promising they would pick him up.
Ortiz won it in the 10th with another home run.
I buy the Jorge Posada argument. When I asked White Sox players, they singled out
Carlos Lee
as their MVP. Oakland owner Steve Schott wiped out any chance Tejada would repeat.
There's something about Ortiz, beyond the homers and RBI. Magic. Remember, it was Ron Gardenhire at the break who singled out the loss of Ortiz as the biggest change in the Twins, and in separate interviews on ESPN in the last 10 days,
Torii Hunter
and Mientkiewicz said the same. Remember all those blown leads and the half-dozen worst losses of the season? And they always came back. Ortiz was that soul, with Kevin Millar his archangel.
Barry Bonds over Albert Pujols.
Roy Halladay
Pedro Martinez
Esteban Loaiza
. Gagne.
Angel Berroa
as AL rookie of the year, and even if you, as I, are insulted by the ethnocentric demeaning of Japanese baseball by considering
Hideki Matsui
a rookie,
Jody Gerut
had better numbers, and
Rocco Baldelli
is a magic man.
Brandon Webb
was the best rookie pitcher in the game, but what
Dontrelle Willis
did to spark the improbable rise of The Phish cannot go unrewarded.
Singling out one manager is unfair, but Felipe Alou took over a team with 50 percent of its lineup and 60 percent of its rotation changed, his closer gone, and still went to the final day with a shot at the league's best record. So he gets it, over Dusty Baker, Jack McKeon and the remarkable Frank Robinson. In the American League, what Tony Pena wrought in Kansas City was remarkable, although Lou Piniella had just as big an impact on the Devil Dogs.
Executives of the year? Brian Sabean and Ken Williams.
But as a reminder as to how smart we all are: Ortiz was a non-tender, and Loaiza was a last-minute, no-one-wants-him signing.
News and notes
Mark Mulder
come back this season? Probably not. But because of a hormone treatment called Forteo that could be one of the most significant medical breakthroughs of the last decade, it's possible. The drug is to build bone mass and heal osteopathic fractures, an osteoporosis miracle, and it is assumed that it can help in the healing of all fractures, which is why it is part of the treatment for Mulder and Michael Vick. Mulder has been running in water and throwing, and nothing has been written off.
Rangers owner Tom Hicks expects that the club will drop its payroll by 25 percent, which Scott Boras believes violates the "commitment" the club made to Alex Rodriguez. This is all understandable, but A-Rod is unmovable and won't get that contract anywhere else. He was put on waivers and went unclaimed in August. But no one should question his desire to win.
Matt Mantei
Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona's hopes of moving
Matt Mantei
's contract along with
Curt Schilling
Junior Spivey
may not be possible. Mantei picked up his $7 million option for next season, then revealed he pitched in pain with a bad shoulder from May through the end of the season. With his medical history, no other club may be willing to take him on.
It's already presumed that Tejada will end up in Anaheim and Kaz Matsui in Seattle, but their agents insist nothing is close to set in stone. In fact, there are those who think Matsui will end up with the Dodgers or the Mets.
The attention on the Giants' "no mas" approach to Monday's makeup game was on San Francisco, but the fact is that the Mets didn't want to play. They want the Bruce Springsteen revenues from Wednesday night's show, and Springsteen's roadies needed to be set up Monday.
How cool was it that Eddie Vedder went to see his beloved Cubs on Thursday in Cincinnati, and gave an impromptu concert in the Reds clubhouse? If the Cubs make the Series, Vedder had better throw out one first pitch and do the seventh-inning stretch. When he first began writing songs, he'd go to a donut shop near Wrigley and compose.
As if the end of the season wasn't bad enough for the Mariners, one of their pitching bonus boys, 6-foot-9 right-hander Justin Ockerman, is going this winter to Michigan State, where he's projected as the Spartans' starting power forward -- with the Mariners paying his college bills under the tuition bonus plan.
The Reds have put out the word they next want to dump Junior Griffey,
Sean Casey
Danny Graves
The Commissioner's Office decreed that no clubhouse or dugout can have television monitors because of the Seattle protest about the Red Sox having a flat screen TV in the bullpen. Incidentally, when the ban was instituted, the Red Sox had a better record, higher batting average, more home runs per game and .7 more runs a game without the TV on in the 'pen. Excuses, excuses.
There is a lot of enthusiasm for Wally Backman to replace Jerry Manuel in Chicago, but what about Cito Gaston? How can a man win consecutive world championships and not manage again?
And why is Dave Stewart not interviewed in Cincinnati? Incidentally, several GMs have suggested that if Omar Minaya gets the Reds' GM job, the logical candidate for the Expos' job is female L.A. assistant GM Kim Ng.
Thank goodness the Rockies decided to retain Dan O'Dowd, despite some media pressure. The farm system has been restored, they have young pitching -- but whether or not any team can win at Coors Lite is another matter, entirely.
While the Red Sox are clearly afraid of
Scott Williamson
in the postseason,
Jason Varitek
says "Scott Saurbeck will be our biggest surprise."
The Giants' surprise will be Edgardo Alfonso.
And while the Giants are 65-27 in one-run games at Pac Bell since it opened, former Reds GM Jim Bowden says, "there is no better manager at playing littleball and one-run baseball than Jack McKeon."
Life isn't fair:
Adam Kennedy
has busted his tail to improve defensively, then, fearing a non-tender if the Angels sign Tejada, broke his hand the final weekend of the season.

Baseball-reference.com has their record as 7-51 when trailing after six innings. Not much of a difference.

You play 162 and then get a one-game "playoff" appearance. Only Bud Selig could think up something this stupid.
A watched plot never thickens.
My mind is still blown by Simmons bunting with 1st and 3rd and one out. If you don't think he can get a hit then PH for him and use a different guy at SS, but never bunt to get to your pitch unless its a legit squeeze play.
Freeman reaches for the Braves.

No problem, make that 8-51.

Panama City Beach- 18 sailboats with captain and crew participated in the 2nd annual Leukemia Cup Regattae, Saturday. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society along with Bay Point and St. Andrews yacht clubs sponsored the event.
All the boats in the Regatta raise money throughout the year for research and the actual winner is not the boat that comes in first, but the crew that raises the most money.
There will be a first place finisher in the race, after all the boats sailed a 3 mile course three times around.
The goal this year was to raise 50 thousand dollars from sponsors, and for the second year they will surpass their goal.
You can check out their website at lcrbp.com for more on the Regatta.

The only abortion clinic in Western North Carolina is shutting down, leaving the region without service for at least six months.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports Femcare will close on Saturday. A spokeswoman confirmed the closure, but declined further comment.
Dr. Lorraine Cummings, who owns the business and is its sole physician, put the building up for sale in March. The clinic opened in 1985 near downtown Asheville, and has been the city's only provider of abortion services for years.
The state Department of Health and Human Services suspended Femcare's license last summer, citing safety violations. The clinic closed, then reopened.
The suspension came days after Gov. Pat McCrory signed legislation that directed state officials to regulate abortion clinics based on the same standards as those for outpatient surgical centers.

SBA Communications Corp Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (SBAC)
TheStreet) -- SBA Communications (Nasdaq: SBAC) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, generally higher debt management risk and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- SBAC's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 1.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 59.9%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, SBAC's share price has jumped by 45.69%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- Compared to other companies in the Wireless Telecommunication Services industry and the overall market, SBA COMMUNICATIONS CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Wireless Telecommunication Services industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 80.5% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$29.08 million to -$52.49 million.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 8.21 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Along with this, the company manages to maintain a quick ratio of 0.38, which clearly demonstrates the inability to cover short-term cash needs.

The answer to this question is a complex one, due to the many issues that have arisen regarding the definition of learning disabilities. How to define LD has been an issue since the category was formally recognized by federal legislation in the US and there continues to be inconsistencies in how to implement the definition. In American and international schools overseas, there has been increasing awareness of the presence of students who experience unexpected difficulties in acquiring basic academic skills, although they clearly possess the intellectual wherewithal to succeed in their academic work.
Past and Current Definitions
LD is defined along two major dimensions. The first is unexpected underachievement, usually operationalized as an ability-achievement discrepancy. The second is the exclusion of underachievement due primarily to sensory or physical conditions, mental retardation, emotional disturbance, or environmental, cultural or economic disadvantage.
The term learning disabilities was first proposed by Samuel Kirk in 1962 and targeted children " . . . who have disorders in development in language, speech, reading, and associated communication skills needed for social interaction." Kirk specifically excluded children with sensory and physical conditions and those with generalized mental retardation. Kirk's definition inferred an "in-child" neurological basis for the learning problems, an emphasis that was ultimately incorporated into the definition by the US Office of Education and ultimately incorporated in Public Law 94-142, The Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975.The definition remains essentially the same in the current Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), reauthorized by the US Congress in 1998. That definition is as follows:
The term 'children with specific learning disabilities' means those children who have a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, which disorder may manifest itself in imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell or do mathematical calculations. Such disorders include such conditions as perceptual handicaps, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia. Such term does not include children who have learning problems which are primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor handicaps, of mental retardation, or emotional disturbance, or environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage.
Part of the difficulty with such a definition is that it specifies more what LD is not than what LD is, leading to inconsistent operational decisions which vary geographically and over time. A student classified as LD in one state or school district could be considered retarded in another, slow learning in another and not eligible for any special services in still another. How to assess ability as part of the LD definition is particularly troublesome when applied to individuals from different linguistic or cultural groups. Indeed, it is sometimes recommended that standardized intelligence tests should not be used to determine the ability component of the LD discrepancy equation for students from culturally or linguistically different backgrounds.
The heterogeneity of individuals and problems caught in the broad LD definitional net has led to increased efforts to target clearly defined subgroups, e.g. those with specific problems in reading acquisition, reading comprehension, writing, arithmetic computation, or arithmetic reasoning. There is also increased interest in the expression of learning disabilities in different developmental periods and in sorting out various neurobiological, linguistic, and experiential contributions of LD.
Implications for International Schools
Rather than continue arguments about "the definition" and how to operationalize it, it is important to view LD in the context of international schools, schools not restricted by US Office of Education regulations. Definitions and operational criteria determining identification of individuals as LD must be relevant to the overseas school, to the purposes of the identification, and to the services available, as the nature of the learning disability should direct remediation. These general guidelines are recommended:
- Consider assessment and identification as ongoing processes. The severity of learning problems may vary with the student's age, experience, and responses to instruction.
- Ensure that students' learning problems are not related to visual, hearing, or other physical or sensory conditions.
- Ensure that students' learning problems are not due to learning delays related to learning English as a second language . Distinguishing underlying learning disabilities from a slow but essentially normal pace of acquiring English as a second language is one of the most difficult but prevalent diagnostic questions faced in overseas schools.[1]
- Do not wait for formal identification of students as LD to begin interventions. Be proactive in providing extra and targeted interventions as problems become recognized. If left unattended, minor problems often cause students to fall further and further behind.
- Be flexible. Do not limit identification to narrowly defined psychometric criteria using only standardized tests. Assessments should include observations, teachers' and parents' perceptions, and students' own views of their learning problems.
- Look for ability profiles which are inconsistent, e.g. good vocabulary, poor reasoning; good long term memory, poor short term memory.
- Analyze students' functional skills in basic academic subjects in order to identify specific aspects of learning problems, e.g. problems in mastery of the alphabetic code, in arithmetic computation, or in spelling.
- Look for achievement profiles which are inconsistent across subject matter areas, e.g. good in math, poor in reading; good in arithmetic reasoning, poor arithmetic computation.
- Determine if the learning problems are situationally specific or if they appear in many situations, e.g. school and home, in one-to-one or large group instruction.
- Pay special attention to children who seem highly capable yet exhibit behaviors suggesting they are disinterested or unorganized. The "bright but lazy" student may have an unrecognized learning disability. This may be evidenced by poor basic skills which interfere with achievement and the enjoyment of learning.
- Be sensitive to other problems that are often associated with or result from students' learning disabilities. These include attentional disorders, depression, anxiety, and low self-concept, all of which may confound or exacerbate a learning disability.
- Seek diagnostic help from external resources if these are not available in your school; such resources include medical and psychological experts in the community, use of visiting professionals, and professionals in other overseas schools.
- Define the services available for students with LD in your school, and consider these needs in hiring teachers and staff as well as in decisions about admission of students. Be sure that your school develops admission policies that open doors to students with LD whom you expect to be able to serve appropriately, but be aware that some students may need more intensive services than you can offer.
- Interpret the nature and severity of students' learning problems within the context of their particular language and cultural backgrounds, and against the nature of the instructional program offered. How much of the learning problem is in the student and how much has to do with a lack of fit between student and program?
Defining a field such as learning disabilities is only a first step. Specialized training in the diagnosis and educational responses to learning disabilities is needed and desirable, and should be one of the goals of overseas schools. However, dedicated teachers who know their students and are keen observers can often target problems, make appropriate classroom adjustments, and help students develop new strategies to strengthen their skills and minimize their learning problems. Good teaching is good diagnosis.
[1] Some ESL students with long histories of exposure to poor English language models may share symptoms of children with language disorders, e.g. using telegraphic speech, having limited vocabularies, or may be unable to employ or understand multiple word meanings, but their difficulties do not have a neuropsychological basis. There are, of course, students who are both ESL and who have language disorders.

Upton Park mother 'plotted to kill over lewd photos'
08:00 25 April 2012
Court hears mother 'ordered murder to protect daughter'
A mother plotted to have a man killed after he posted topless photos of her underage daughter on the internet, a court has heard
Gedu Bibi, 47, of Priory Road, Upton Park, allegedly arranged for a former lover to bludgeon Sumon Miah to death with a table leg after he uploaded the photos of his 13-year-old girlfriend, Shuhina Khanam.
She then convinced the teenager to lie to police and claim that she had hit him after he lunged at her with a knife at the family's home, jurors at the Old Bailey heard.
Her 12-year-old brother, was also allegedly bullied into backing up the false story, the prosecution claim.
Mr Miah, 21, fell into a coma and died in hospital nine days later after suffering a fractured skull and brain damage during the attack.
Crispin Aylett QC, prosecuting, said the hospital shop worker never regained consciousness and never gave an account to police.
Detectives later closed the case after concluding that any jury would decide Shuhina had acted in self-defence.
But the case was eventually reviewed.
Mr Miah was allegedly beaten to death by 48-year-old cafe owner Lilu Miah (no relation) at Bibi's home in Walthamstow on October 8, 2006.
Just days before the killing, Mr Miah is said to have shown Bibi four lewd photos of her daughter on the internet.
"The prosecution suggest that it must have been the topless photographs of Shuhina," said Mr Aylett.
Following his death, a friend handed his phone to the police.
"The photographs were still in the memory of the telephone," he added.
"It seems likely that these photographs were the trigger for the show-down that took place that day."
Bibi and Lilu Miah, of no fixed address, both deny murder, while Bibi also denies a separate count of perverting the course of justice.
Lilu Miah and Dobir Miah, from Leicester, deny conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
At the home police found the victim breathing,but motionless.
Asked what happened, Shuhina is said to have replied: "He got a knife out from his clothing, I went to the kitchen to get a piece of wood. "When I came back, I hit him with the wood."
The trial continues.

Mission 26 The Big Endeavour
If you are anything like me and the hundreds of thousands of Angelenos that have been captivated and completely enamored with the space shuttle Endeavour, then you too will love this video by Matthew Givot. Givot is a man after my own heart, with his choices in what he likes to film – the ever changing wonderful world of Los Angeles. Great job on this video Mr. Givot. Congratulations on capturing so beautifully, and sharing a truly magical, once in a lifetime weekend in the City of Angeles. Well done sir, well done.
Here is a flashback of what all of Los Angeles was doing and talking about, just a week ago.
Mission 26 The Big Endeavour from Givot on Vimeo.
The words below are from Givot's post on Vimeo.
"A very special thanks to the City of Inglewood, Chief of Police Mark Fronterotta, Lieutenant James Madia, Sergeant Dirk Dewachter, and to the Men and Women of the Inglewood Police Department. None of this would have been possible without them.
This project was only made possible by the help of a truly amazing and talented timelapse team which included; Joe Capra, Chris Pritchard, Brian Hawkins, Andrew Walker, Ryan Killackey and myself.
This truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity that we are so happy and honored to have been be a part of.
The endeavor started on Thursday night and went on until Sunday night, with very little sleep to no sleep. The only thing that kept us going was pure love of the art and adrenaline. One thing that stood out the most for me, while I was shooting, was the people of Los Angeles. It was so powerful to see the excitement on peoples faces and the pride of their home town. No matter how many times I would see the Shuttle it would never get old.
This has been an amazing experience that I will never forget. My hope is that this film will show you the amount of dedicated people and teamwork that it took to get the Endeavour to its new home. Enjoy."

California's PG&E Takes the Plunge into Wave Power
Posted By Ali Kriscenski On January 2, 2008 @ 4:58 am In Environment,Renewable Energy,San Francisco | 4 Comments
We've been following (and fascinated by) developments in wave power technology, from Portugal's wave farm [2] to Finavera's AquaBuoy 2.0 [3]. And now we are thrilled to announce that San Francisco-based Pacific Gas & Electric Co (PG&E) [4] has entered into a long-term commercial wave energy power purchasing agreement (PPA) to use this innovative technology. PG&E is the first US utility company to commit to wave power and expects to start delivering wave-powered electricity into the grid by 2010!
The 15-year contract is with Vancouver-based Finavera Renewables, Inc [5], who will develop an AquaBuoy [3] wave park about 2 1/2 miles off the coast of Northern California's Humboldt County. The expected electricity generation will be a small part of California's power needs, providing juice for under 2,000 homes, but the deal marks a milestone in the developing market.
While other promising techniques use below-surface motion [6] and breaking waves [7], Finavera's system uses offshore surface waves. The proposed wave park will contain eight AquaBuoys [3]. The buoys will transfer the kinetic energy of the ocean into electricity by pumping water and turning a turbine which powers a generator. The electricity is then transferred to land through an underwater transmission cable.
While this is still an emerging technology, the PG&E commitment gives momentum to the potential of wave power as a viable source of renewable energy. As California utilities reach for 20% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2010 [8], wave power offers a way to capture more energy in less space than other renewable energy technologies, like wind and solar.

Thanks for the piece, and the advice, Cindy. I particularly appreciated #8, because the older I get (I'm 67), the more I realize how important attitude really is. Henry Ford said it: Whether you think you can, or you think you can't—you're right!

Obama Focuses on Green Energy and New Railways on Labor Day
Posted By Brit Liggett On September 7, 2010 @ 12:50 pm In Green Transportation,Innovation,News,Policy | 6 Comments
Yesterday President Obama gave a Labor Day speech to citizens gathered at the Henry Maier Festival Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that outlined his plan to create more jobs in America while strengthening the green economy. As the country's unemployment rate hovers around nine percent, the President detailed his ideas for keeping that figure down and ensuring it stays down in the future. He noted government tax incentives for green energy [2] companies, American-made efficient cars [3], the new American smart grid, and a new plan to install and maintain 4,000 miles of railway across the country.
The President's speech [5] focused on creating new industry in the United States that will not only provide jobs in the short term, but will supply jobs far into the future. He alluded to investments earlier in the year [6] in the auto industry and their push to make more efficient vehicles on American soil, and to the smart grid [7] that he announced and started to build this year. In an effort to bring all of America's technology [8] up to the 21st century, Obama unveiled his plan to update our transportation system in order to eliminate waste, reduce greenhouse gasses and increase efficiency.
"We're going to continue our strategy to build a national high-speed rail network that reduces congestion and travel times and reduces harmful emissions," the President told the crowd. He went on to note — a very important point in this heated election season — that this new transportation [9] plan will be fully paid for. Adding to his transportation plan he reinforced something he's been saying all year: "we want to invest in growth industries like clean energy and manufacturing." He noted that his dream isn't just that we should use green technology but that we should build it. "I don't want to see solar panels and wind turbines and electric cars made in China. I want them made right here in the United States of America." We're excited to see those 4,000 miles of efficient railways added to our home-grown solar panels [10], wind turbines [11] and electric cars [3].

Interesting that an organization like Trace would link with the AMCHAM in Libya when the President, Richard Griffiths is ironically a con-man himself. Trace should have done their background assessment on him and the organization first - it's not even recognized by the American Chamber of Commerce - for a reason!
He is a consultant for the same companies he adds as members - so he makes money on the deals. Totally not the way an American Chamber operates anywhere else in the world. I just checked and this Amcham is NOT listed in the US Chamber's Directory.
I gather who ever is posting such negative comments more then likely cannot pass trace due diligence. It seems like a little sour grapes on their part.
From what I understand the American Chamber of Commerce in Libya should be commended for their work in Libya and for being so active in sorting out the maze that it Libya. It is wonderful to make comments while remaining anonymous. Grab a pair and do something you can be proud of instead of trolling the internet looking for ways to comment on someone else's hard work... sound familiar home fry?

"Just Give Me a Reason" by Pink: We're not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again
Pink has released the music video to "Just Give Me a Reason." The ballad was originally intended to be a solo but Pink thought that it would work better if it were more like a conversation, so she did it as a duet with .fun's frontman Nate Ruess who also co-wrote the song with her. The song is the third official single from Pink's sixth studio album The Truth About Love. It comes after "Blow Me One Last Kiss" and "Try."
"Just Give Me a Reason" is produced by Jeff Bhasker, who is currently nominated in the 2013 Grammy Awards as Producer of the Year, Non-classical. Bhasker also produced the Song of the Year and Record of the Year nominee "We Are Young" by .fun featuring Janelle Monae. He is also listed as the primary producer of .fun's album "Some Nights," which is nominated for Album of the Year.
"Just Give Me a Reason" starts off with just a piano playing to be joined by drums and bass later on. This serves to let the listeners focus less on the dramatics and more on the cadence of the conversation in the song. The melody is simple and effective as it delivers sentimentality without becoming entirely too maudlin.
Pink's husband Carey Hart (whom Idolator has identified as an Adam Levine lookalike) appears in the music video along with a cute teddy bear with glowing eyes.
With the appearance of Carey Hart in the music video and knowing that Pink and he have gotten married, have separated, have gone through marriage counseling, and have gotten back together make me wonder if "Just Give Me a Reason" is somehow built on the personal struggles in their relationship. Even if at first impression "Just Give Me a Reason" seems to be a sad song, it ends in a somewhat hopeful note: "we're not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again."
My rating for the song: 4 out of 5 stars.
