WASHINGTON (WJLA) - The funny thing about the controversy regarding the Washington Redskins name is that the organization itself keeps stirring up the topic, again and again and again.
It's a much-ado-about-nothing tempest, loudly proclaim the Redskins name defenders, yet they're trading a tea pot for a high-profile water tower.
Talking points (marching orders?) for the team have been honed regarding whether "Redskins" is racially offensive toward Native Americans but they always appear to reflect the resolution of Redskins owner Dan Snyder, who famously declared last year that, "We'll never change the name. It's that simple. Never -- you can use caps."
So when the surrogates go out, such as former Redskins quarterback-turned announcer Joe Thiesmann on Thursday night's telecast of the Redskins-Patriots exhibition game and keep on serving the, to paraphrase, "I've talked to many Native Americans and none of them find the name offensive," Kool-Aid, opponents of the name notice.
Take this past week, for a good example.
Former Redskins kicker Mark Moseley goes on NewsChannel 8's SportsTalk and tells host Alex Parker he has talked to more than 1,000 Native Americans and "not one" has ever indicated the name is offensive.
He also referred to Native Americans as "red men."
Well, soon thereafter, ESPN's Keith Olbermann's producers picked up on it and Olbermann - of the MSNBC rants - skewered Moseley - and the team -- a couple of nights ago.
Then there's the University of Minnesota thing. The Vikings will play there this season while a new stadium is being completed. The college is calling for the Vikings to ban any reference to "Redskins" inside its stadium during Washington's Nov. 2 visit.
Then there's the ESPN "Outside the Lines" thing, parts of which were previewed this week, during which Snyder steadfastly and stubbornly defends the name.
Again, opponents of the name notice.
Native American opponents notice.
There was, for example, this joint statement National Congress of American Indians executive director Jackie Pata and Oneida Nation Representative Ray Halbritter.
"It adds insult to injury that not only does the team not take to heart the deep harm they're causing through the use of this disparaging epithet, but that they continue to ignore our very existence by claiming that they haven't heard from any Native Americans who are opposed to the team's name," the statement said.
"Dan Snyder continues to live in a bigoted billionaire bubble if he is unable or unwilling to see that huge numbers of Native Americans and others from various walks of life all across this country find the team's name incredibly offensive."
But the Redskins remain steadfast in their offensive strategy, somewhat of a perversely defensive strategy.
Former players are the front men for a shadow website that purports to define the true nobility of the name. Folks such as Moseley take the talking points and run.
And the more they talk, and the more coverage their efforts receive, even prominent politicians begin to weigh in, mostly in the change-the-name camp.
Somewhere inside a 345 Park Avenue office in New York, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who's on record as supporting the name, has to be putting his chin in his hand and sighing.
He undoubtedly wishes this whole thing would just go away.
But the Redskins won't let it.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Two years ago, Jay Heaps stepped up to the microphone at Gillette Stadium to announce his retirement from professional soccer.
On Wednesday, the former Revolution defender and Longmeadow, Mass., native was up there again, only to be introduced as the new coach of his hometown club.
"I am so excited for this opportunity," Heaps said during Wednesday's news conference. "I want to thank the entire Kraft family for believing that I'll be the right leader for this position and to deliver a new culture and implement a new and exciting vision."
That is something that is desperately needed after the Revolution slid to the bottom of the Eastern Conference this past season.
Even though previous coach Steve Nicol had led the club to four MLS Cup finals (2002, 2005, 2006, 20007), it was clear that changes were needed.
After the conclusion of the season, the Revolution and Nicol parted ways.
Enter Heaps.
"When Michael and I were putting our list together, we knew that Jay was going to be one of the candidates," Revolution president Brian Bilello said. "We were confident that he had the makeup to be a great coach."

According to News Of The World, Tiger Woods was busy screwing one of his mistresses at his home even though he knew his dying father had only hours to live.
Just a few hours earlier he had been told by his mother that cancer-stricken Earl was "in a bad way".
But after visiting his dad in a hospice, Tiger went home and cheated on wife Elin with former model Jamie Jungers.
As they lay in bed afterwards, Tiger got a call telling him Earl had passed away.
Jamie, 26, told the News of the World last night: "I was beside him wearing nothing but a pair of panties."
Deceased Earl, 74, was described by his son as: "My best friend and greatest role model – an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend."
But his grief over losing his war veteran father did not stop Tiger continuing his torrid affair.
It only ended six months later – when Jamie asked her lover for financial aid.
She said: "He's a cheap f***er and he just didn't want to help me."
And she added: "I suspect he was seeing other women at the same time as me. Tiger's very highly sexed. He loves sex."
On May 2, 2006, he was with Jamie in his marital home in California when his mom Tida called about Earl – who had prostate cancer and was in a hospice.
Jamie said: "She told Tiger his dad was in a bad way. Tiger immediately left to be with him and I stayed at the house. He was gone nearly three hours.
"When he came back, I could see he was preoccupied and worried about his dad – but when we went to bed he still wanted to have sex as usual.
"We went to sleep. I was beside him wearing nothing but a pair of panties. Then at about 3am the phone rang. It was Tiger's mom.
"She called to tell him that his dad had passed away. Tiger looked utterly devastated and didn't say a word. He didn't even cry but I could tell he was heartbroken.
"I told him, 'I'm so sorry' and gave him a hug. I didn't want to be in the way so I arranged a flight home to Vegas."
The next day, Tiger phoned. Jamie said: "I didn't expect to hear from him for a while. I thought he would be busy having just lost his dad.
"But he told me how much he appreciated me being there with him and thanked me for my support."
The lovers first met at Las Vegas's Bellagio hotel, when Tiger was on a night out.
Jamie was working voluntarily for The Vegas Angels – a troupe of models who help with charity events.
The pair flirted before Tiger took her to his suite at the plush MGM Grand, where they had "wild and crazy sex".
She said: "I was at a barbecue with friends the next day and I told a few of them about Tiger. So when he called in front of them it was very exciting for us.
"He gave me his private mobile number but warned, 'Just save it on your phone as a different name from mine in case somebody finds it.'"
The next weekend he asked Jamie to join him at the Chicago Open golf tournament, saying an aide would make the arrangements.
Jamie was whisked to his hotel and taken to his room. "Once we were alone, we talked for a bit," she recalled. But his chat-up lines weren't the best. "He told this story about when he was younger and had to wear braces and a headpiece because his teeth were so bad," she said.
Less than three weeks after their affair started, Woods invited Jamie to his marital home – one of five properties he owns around the world. Jamie, who once played a mistress in the TV series CSI – said: "It was a little strange for me.
"There were recent pictures of him and Elin, as well as their wedding photos. That did make me feel bad for his wife. I'd hate someone to do that to me.
"I knew it wasn't right and I did try to put a stop to things but Tiger would pull me into his arms and on to the bed and beg me not to go. He'd tell me, 'But I love being around you'. And the truth is, I loved being around him."
Jamie said he made her feel like his girlfriend rather than a mistress. She said: I had the run of the house, and when we were together it really felt like we were a proper couple.
"I'd get up in the morning and he'd be downstairs eating a bowl of Lucky Charms cereal on the sofa and watching cartoons like a kid.
"I never confronted him about his reasons for cheating. I've been cheated on by guys so I know how they can be."
Jamie also claims Woods was protective of her, and got jealous when she flirted with other men. She recalled: "One night we were partying with Tiger's pals and some other guys. "I was dancing close with all of them and I could feel Tiger's eyes on me. Then he started to get jealous and cut in and pulled me on to his lap.
"He was always openly affectionate towards me in front of his friends. They knew what was going on between us for sure – and Tiger knew they would keep his secret."
The affair floundered in late 2006, when Woods – who is believed to be a billionaire – refused his mistress's request for cash. Jamie – whose videoed interview can be seen online at notw.co.uk – said: "Tiger was always tight with money. When we'd go out for dinner, he never left a tip or he'd ask for the meal to be complimentary because he was 'Tiger Woods'. I just thought that was cheap and it always embarrassed me.
"I never expected him to buy me anything. But he's the richest sports star on the planet and he never once bought me a gift – not even for Christmas or my birthday.
"Once, when we were in Las Vegas, playing blackjack in the MGM Grand's private gambling room, he won hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"He had it all there in his pockets yet never thought once about giving me a chip or letting me have a turn on him. He was very, very stingy with his money." But Jamie turned to him when she wanted to move out of the home she was sharing with an ex.
She recalled: "I was in tears as I begged Tiger to give me financial assistance. He just batted me away and told me, 'Look, don't worry, babe. I'm sure everything will work itself out.'
"I persisted and told him straight, 'I am financially unstable right now and you are a very wealthy man. I would never ordinarily ask you but I think you've known me long enough to trust me and want to help me'.
"His response was stony silence. Then he started, 'Where did this come from? You've never said anything like this before. I don't like this side of you.'They started rowing and Jamie hung up. Then Woods phoned her back, saying: "Don't do this. I really care about you."
However, Jamie has not spoken to him since – and a few months after their bust-up she heard Elin was pregnant with Tiger's first child.
Jamie said: "That hurt my feelings more than anything.
"Clearly all the time he was sleeping with me he was still sleeping with her – yet I had managed to convince myself he wasn't.
She added: "I firmly believe he deserves everything he's getting now. He doesn't belong married, that's for sure."

Reprogramming of Adult Cells into Transplantable Stem Cells
Pluripotent stem cells, by virtue of their un-differentiated, un-committed state, have been a major focus for regenerative medicine, as they offer the potential of being able to replace diseased tissue with healthy, functional tissue. Despite the ability of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to contribute to any cell type of the body, their derivation raises ethical issues over harvesting cells from embryos for research or clinical treatment purposes. In addition, as with any transplant, their use raises concerns over rejection.
The recent development of methods for reprogramming adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) presents a tremendous opportunity for regenerative medicine. iPSCs possess most, if not all, of the capacities that make ESCs promising for novel human therapies. iPSCs are free from the ethical concerns surrounding ESC production from embryonic tissue, and can avoid complications of rejection by deriving the iPSCs from cells of the patients themselves. Unfortunately, the methods for generating iPSCs are not very efficient and utilize viruses to introduce the genes needed to reprogram the cells, both of which are major bottlenecks.
The first protocols to generate iPSCs employed viral vectors to express four reprogramming genes. Clinical experience with viral vectors suggests that such iPSCs will be unsafe for use in humans. Viruses that integrate into the genome can result in mutagenesis and can lead to cancer. Although alternative approaches involving drug treatment permit iPSCs to be generated with as few as two expressed factors, they still employ integrating viral vectors. Even viral vectors that do not integrate can evoke a robust immune reaction by the host, raising concerns such as the destruction of the engrafted cells. In order for IPS cells to be safe for use in humans, it is essential to develop methods for their generation without the use of viral vectors.
A second bottleneck is presented by the inefficiency of the current techniques, as the methods employing viruses induce cells at a rate less than 1%. What is needed are methods to express the needed gene products, to suppress unwanted gene products, and to follow the reprogramming process as it takes place so that it can be optimized.
The proposed research answers both of these bottlenecks by developing a set of non-viral vectors optimized for iPSC production. The non-viral vectors are nanoparticles that assemble around and protect RNA so that adult cells can be preprogrammed without fear of cancer-inducing mutations. The nanoparticles are designed to introduce mRNA for the reprogramming factors and to introduce siRNA for suppressing unwanted factors, in order to increase the efficiency of the reprogramming. In parallel, the research will provide the tools to follow the reprogramming as it takes place, so that protocols for iPSCs can be optimized for a given source of adult cell and desired clinical use.
The proposed work involves the design and use of new reagents that can be used to reprogram adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). iPSCs offer many of the same advantages as embryonic stem (ES) cells in that they can be induced to differentiate into diverse cell types, making them an important resource for regenerative medicine. Unlike ES cells, iPSCs can be derived from the patients themselves, eliminating ethical issues surrounding the use of embryonic cells, and avoiding the complication of tissue rejection. However, the generation of iPSCs at present involves the use of viruses to accomplish the reprogramming, and hence raise concerns of cancer if they were to be used in patients.
The proposed works will have several major benefits to the state of California and its citizens:
The technologies to be refined in this proposal will allow the creation of iPSCs without the use of viruses, which will allow regenerative medicine with iPSCs to advance to clinical utility in a rapid fashion. Instead, chemically defined nanoparticles will be utilized to deliver the factors in a fashion that cannot create mutation, and are hence unable to create cancer. Tests of the nanoparticles in animal and human studies suggest strongly that the reagents to be developed will be safe for use in humans. This should impact the citizens by making a major avenue of regenerative medicine available for clinical use.
The technology will be simple to deploy, as test experiments show that the compounds can be supplied in a form so that nanoparticles can be created by non-specialists without the need of specialized techniques or equipment. This will allow the reagents to be deployed broadly in both research and clinical settings.
Parallel technologies will be developed to follow the reprogramming of the cells. These tools will be useful to all stem cell researchers, and will allow more directed test experiments to be performed. Because of these tools, researchers will be able to more effectively program stem cells into the progenitor types that are desired, and will be able to follow the cells more accurately. Thus, it will be possible for research and development money from CIRM to be used more efficiently.
Finally, the reagents to be generated by the proposed work offer an excellent opportunity for businesses in California to generate a new and important reagent stream. The optimized targeting of the nanoparticles involves technologies aligned with the capabilities of current industry in the state and also offers opportunities for start-up companies.

Our Most Popular Meat
NEW! Jalapeño Cheddar Croghan Bologna
This is a modern take on our traditional ring bologna. Still using all of our artisan techniques such as, smoking over natural Adirondack hardwood fires and using only the finest ingredients, we've added specialty cheddar cheese and mouthwatering jalapeños in each bite for an exciting product for those with spicy and adventurous tastes. Add this bologna to a cracker, sandwich or platter for more zing. Don't forget to have a cold drink in hand because while this bologna has a cheesy wonderful start it finishes by bringing the heat!
Croghan Bologna
The fine quality flavor and unique ring-like shape make Croghan Bologna a North Country tradition that began in 1888 when Fred Hunziker, a Swiss immigrant, brought this smoked beef recipe with him to northern New York. Today, we handle your bologna with the same crafty artisan touch just like they did back in Switzerland during the early 1800's. The all-natural casing that encompasses the bologna is usually peeled off before slicing the meat and serving on a buttery cracker with sharp cheddar cheese. Weighing in by the pound and coming in a variety of sizes, don't be afraid to try this meat out on your submarine or in your sandwich!
Croghan Smoked Sausage
Containing no additives or preservatives, these fully cooked and naturally smoked links have also been a family favorite since 1888. Using the finest cuts of pork and an original blend of spices, this sausage carries a unique Adirondack hardwood flavor that pairs perfectly with local maple syrup. But don't let this fine prepared meat fool you it's not just for coupling with pancakes- this little link holds its own on a hot grill and between buns!

Winter fairytale in the Czech Republic
Czech Republic | Why not try and experience a winter holiday in the Czech Republic. The ski regions of Jizera Mountains (Isergebirge), Beskidy Mountains and Kartonosze Mountains (Riesengebirge) all fulfil the requirements that one expects from a good winter day and eventful ski vacation. Especially families with small children will find these ski regions particularly ideal as the slopes are not overcrowded. Therefore the children will be able to easily find a secure place to ski and sledging. Popular ski regions include for example Harrachov and Spindlermühle (Špindlerův Mlýn) in the Kartonosze Mountains, Lipno Kramolin and Spicak in the Bohemian Forest or Novako Ski Center in the Ore Mountains.
If you are searching for a more challenging course then Harrachov will be to your liking. It is the heart of Czech ski sport and awaits with demanding slopes. Those who may be a bit more apprehensive can enjoy a lovely walk in the magical countryside. In the higher altitudes you will find perfect conditions with bright sunshine and chilly temperatures.
A conspicuous feature of holidays in the Czech Republic is that they are compared to other areas cheaper for things such as ski lessons and equipment as well as partying. This also applies to the rental prices for the majority of around 1,000 holiday houses and apartments that have an excellent price performance ratio. The holiday huts are basic but have all necessary amenities. Often they will also have a fireplace which provides the perfect conditions for a cosy evening after an eventful day.

I read in the Dec. 10 story "Herrera Beutler urged to back bridge" that Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt and Clark County Commissioner Steve Stuart, both Democrats, were pressuring our Republican Congresswomen Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, to move on their requests … according to their will … according to their time frame.
The good congresswoman, intelligent and a woman of deep integrity, represents the will of the people and needs time to find out just what the will of the people is. I suggest that the two Democrats take a lesson from her great example of real leadership.

Uncanny X-men 268 by JPRartWatch
©2007-2016 JPRart
Here's the last Uncanny X-men painting. Original art by Jim Lee.
Let me know what you think!
Let me know what you think!
Awesome painting.
nice homage to the legend
that was a sweet comic
I remeber having this comic book issue in my stash. To see like this is f'n amazing. Kudos, sir!
One of my all time favorite covers! Nice work!!
Love this! Great job.
Absolutely spectacular. You have a ton of talent.
Question for you, you ever do commission? I'm trying to get a set of x-men/captain america pieces done. I originally just wanted posters, but I can't find any anywhere that I really like that much. Your stuff is brilliant.

I Loved this cover it It looked Amazing you've done it Justice shadowing and all!!!
love this one just as much as the original by Jim Lee and Williams...
nice cover painting! one of the best Jim Lee issue. brings me back to the awesome days of collecting comic books....
super heros marvel que me encantan
Why does Black Widow have a guy's hairdo. She nevermind, other than that it looks great! Awesome! Awe struck!
so great!!!
Selling any copies?!
Great work!!!
Fantastic work on one of the best issues ever!
One of my favorite issues and covers and this is just damn good work here!
This is Excellent!
Oh man wow! This is awesome! XD
Classic! Nice Homage!!!
This is really good!!!
Me gusta mucho tus dibujos.Son espectaculares.
Memories come flooding in! Love it
Love It.Jim Lee is the man.
awesome job!
One of my fav x-men issues... love the work.
I'm curious as to what you use. Is it Corel Painter?
Excellent artwork. Great job.
This is some amazing artwork! Everything comes together so smoothly, the sky, city and their even their vastly differing costumes! Plus, Cap looks bamf as always~!
What an iconic image! This was by far my favorite era of the books--when Jim Lee was first making a name for himself and the X-Men were scattered all over the globe. I think Cap would've made a good sidekick for Wolvie. Anyways, love the enhancements to the original.
Woah! I thought this cover was epic back in the day, with the old coloring methods. Now... just wow!
Very Cool pic
One of the best covers made even better.
I bought two copies of this issue when it first came out. Painting looks great! Maybe show off Black Widow's ass with more light.
Wow the Wolverine
great work dude!!!!
great work dude!!!!
this rocks, very nicely done i am a big fan of the original but this just takes it up to another level
awesome job!!
awesome job!!
Awesome ~Now I wants to go dig up some old comics!!
Love this whole series of paintings. Just when I thought the original couldn't be topped.
This is my favorite comic of all time. I think that all those old x-men books should be recolored, hell I'd every single issue over again if they were colored like this. The art back then was fantastic the coloring was awful. What you have done is awsome and its what marvel should have done when they rereleased all of Jim Lee's X-Titles in paperback form.
Wow! This was one of my favorite issues when I was a kid! So many great panels and splash pages.
Was this for Marvel or just for fun?!
Was this for Marvel or just for fun?!
I'm impressed, this reminds me of when Alex Ross painted over his pencils, very cool!
So amazing! I especially love the way that Cap came out here.
one of my fave lee work. you rendition is beautiful. faves.
Good poses

- roof streaks!!!
roof streaks!!!
It could be mold and/or mildew. If the roof is shaded, all or in part, any dampness/water/wetness up there will 'stick around' and do this.
To test it out, mix a solution of 1 cup Household Bleach w/1 gallon of water. 2 cups for 2 gallons, and so on. (You can 'up' the Bleach if you want a stronger mix but it MAY kill/damage your vegetation wherever it runs.) W/O the sun around, 'broom on' some of the mix on the streak. (Start w/a conspicious part, perhaps in the back of the house or towards the peak of the roof.) Let it sit. Let it sit for about 15 minutes. If it disappears w/the use of a garden hose when you rinse, then it's mold/mildew. If not, it could be plain, old dirt.
Unfortunately, if the cleaning w/bleach works, you'll need to wash the ENTIRE roof. Otherwise, you'll notice the clean parts from down below. (It may look silly.) To kinda 'permanently' stop the mold/mildew, you need to trim back the trees and such. Mold/mildew like dampness, shade, and warm temperatures. By allowing the sun in and adding the extra airflow, you shouldn't get this problem.
My best to ya and hope this helps.

The iPad vs. the House Energy and Commerce Committee
Via Andrew, here's Ezra Klein responding to Jim Manzi:
"Even if Manzi is right that the costs [from global warming] are manageable into 2100 – a century, after all, is a long time for a human, but not for the atmosphere – what does that do to our descendants who have to deal with a scorching planet between 2100 and 2200? And then into 2300, and then 2400?
I think Manzi's answer is that technology will save us by then. And maybe he's right. But maybe he's not. And if he's not, then we've let the problem become unimaginably bad for our descendants. If you bet on technology and you're wrong, it's not like we've got another of these planets waiting in the back somewhere."
I come down on Manzi's side of the argument – I think global warming is more than likely happening and I believe that humans are more than likely a contributing factor to that warming. There are many other factors, and I'm far from certain that the doom and gloom scenarios presented by climate change doomsayers are accurate. But I do think we're seeing climate change and that we are in part responsible for it.
We're prone, I think, to wildly exaggerating our fears. End-times advocates have always done this, and always will. Science and technology just give us lots and lots of new and fascinating ways to make our predictions of the future more catastrophic. That used to be the realm of God, and now it's the realm of science. Fair enough.
But I think technology will be the great saving grace in the end, if we allow innovation and entrepreneurship to flourish. This means not only avoiding expensive, economy-sapping cap and trade schemes, but keeping government out of the business of innovation altogether.
Government should pave the road that innovators drive on, but we should be wary of investing too much public money in green technology directly. Creating a good business climate for the development of sustainable energy, and tweaking our regulatory structure to allow for a more competitive distribution model for that energy are about as far as government should go. Anything more and you start to see diminishing returns.
In any case, when I think about where I should place my faith, I need look no further than the iPad or any of the other marvels of modern technology. Why would I put my trust in the burgeoning ideas of a bunch of politicians? Whatever cap and trade nonsense they do devise, I imagine it will be riddled with loopholes and prone to capture. In the end we'll see a huge transfer of wealth from taxpayers to special interest groups and the energy industry. I'm betting the innovators at Apple or Google save the world before the House Energy and Commerce Committee does.
If we really want to curb carbon usage, perhaps we should consider implementing a carbon tax. If you want less of something, taxing it is a sure-fire solution. Start small and then raise it incrementally each year. That way we could apply some pressure on fossil fuels and encourage consumers to look to other technologies, while giving those technologies time to catch up with demand.
And please – let's not have a green-tech race with China. Let's have a green tech race right here in America. Competition is great, but there's no reason our government should compete with China on something best left to the private sector. Our businesses should compete with one another instead! Why we need to race with China over anything is beyond me, when we still have the most innovative entrepreneurs in the world right here at home.

LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — Tens of millions in tax dollars will be refunded to some Washington nonprofit hospitals as a result of changes in state property tax rules.
The Daily News (http://bit.ly/w2ZyLQ ) reports that Washington hospitals have long sought property tax exemptions for outpatient clinics and other facilities connected to hospitals.
In the past, property tax exemptions only applied to medical facilities that offered 24-hour inpatient care. The hospitals paid property taxes on most clinics and other buildings.
But the state Department of Revenue is now acknowledging that hospitals have evolved as have their services. Which has made it more difficult to define exactly what portions of a hospital complex should be designated for exemptions.

Bradenton, Fla. - The Florida State League Scholarship Committee has awarded twelve $1,500 educational scholarships to applicants from each team in the League. The Bradenton Marauders are proud to announce that Katie DiGirolamo has been selected as a scholarship recipient.
The scholarship winners will be guests of the Miami Marlins in pre-game ceremonies on Sunday, August 18 at 1:10 PM.
The Committee awarded the scholarships after a review of the applications submitted by each applicant. The award is based both on financial need and grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Students eligible for this award must be an employee of, or the child or grandchild of an employee of the participating club and must be at least a high school junior by the 2013 Fall Term.
The scholarship will aid DiGirolamo during her senior year at Stetson University, where she majors in General Business Administration with a minor in Sport Business. After completing her degree she hopes to work in the front office of a professional sports team or within a collegiate athletic department. DiGirolamo competes on Stetson's Sand Volleyball Team and was named to the Atlantic Sun Academic All-Conference Team this year. DiGirolamo has worked for the Marauders for three seasons, most recently as a Sales and Marketing Intern.
The Miami Marlins have sponsored this program for fourteen (14) years and have contributed a total of $136, 500. Florida State League President Chuck Murphy stated "This program is one of the best things we do in the League and I congratulate the Directors and General Managers on their dedication and enthusiasm in administering this program." The purpose of the program is to send a message that an education is key to success in life.

Treat | Repair
A treatment product that soothes shaving-related inflammation and helps prevent folliculitis. Also fantastic for treating and preventing ingrown hairs.
Fights razor burn and shaving irritation by:
A unique complex of Neem, Vitamin E and Panthenol provides a soothing, moisture-rich antioxidant infusion.
I bought this product on its description of being a razor burn relief, as I was trying to find a replacement product for the Lab series version... Lab series changed the formula so that now it burns when applied. To my horror when I first tried Murad it was like rubbing pure alcohol on my skin...OUCH!! Went straight to the trash. Do not waste your money on this product if you have sensitive skin.
Every day after shaving, apply a small amount onto face and neck. For severe razor burn use twice a day until the area clears, then proceed to use only after shaving. For optimal results, follow with Face Defense SPF 15.
This product can only be shipped to addresses within the U.S.
There are no DOT restrictions on the delivery of this item – you may elect to have this item sent through any of our delivery methods.

I'm going on a trip this summer to Europe and i wanted to know if anyone has found it hard to find places to recharge laptops and phones in small towns and villages. I'm curious about this.
Thank you.
I'm going on a trip this summer to Europe and i wanted to know if anyone has found it hard to find places to recharge laptops and phones in small towns and villages. I'm curious about this.
Thank you.
They have electricity in Europe you know.
Most laptop/netbook uses multi-voltage power adapters so all you need is the right plug adapter.
Yes, we do have electricity. FInding free wifi though is a little more difficult.
Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often.
You can recharge it on a camping place,when you go for a coffe etc etc
No Sueñes Tu Vida, Vive Tus Sueños
There is a driving force more powerful than steam, electricity and nuclear power: the will.
Even the most basic campsites I have used have sockets. Most campsites have wifi (unless they are very rural).
The problems is leaving your battery or equipment unattended for a few hours.
One thing to remember if you're coming from the U.S. is that electricity in Europe is 220 volt, 50 Hz rather than the 110 volt, 60 Hz that we use here in the States. You'll need a transformer (not expnsive, but not light, either) and plug adapters at least.
At any rate, check out the plugs and power adaptability on your laptop before you head over there with it.
We've taken our netbooks and Garmins with us to Europe and found no issues with regards to recharging our batteries. We used a commonly available Euro spec to U.S,. spec adaptor. Free WiFi wasn't always available but local sources for internet usually were. The 'small town and villages' you speak of are generally much more wired than the same types of places in the U.S.
As mentioned, not only do we have electricity, but our electrons pack twice the volts than the weaklings you have in the US. Check your laptop, odds are it will take 220V, 50Hz meaning you don't need the transformer. Just an adapter to accommodate the different shaped plug.
I know of very few places that would NOT have mains electricity available, mostly remote islands and such, and there it's usually by design. But small towns and villages, no problem.
To err is human. To moo is bovine.
Who is this General Failure anyway, and why is he reading my drive?

And if the computer doesn't have dual voltage capability, make sure the voltage converter is a serious one.
Those little plastic universal travel converters are a joke and could fry your devices. Even if they claim a capacity of 1500W.
A proper step-down converter may weigh more than your tent.
Forget about the voltage converters people! You won't need one to power a laptop. All you need is a pin adaptor (or different cable with Euro plug already on it). Be warned that the outlets in the UK and the rest of Europe differ and will need different converters. Those in Switzerland differ slightly again, but many European plugs work OK.
I'm still in shock that the OP thinks that there may be no electricity in small villages in Europe. Sorry, but North America does not have the most advanced society, the best technology, and the best everything else in the world. WAKE UP! I think he/she is going to learn a lot from this trip.

This book is meant for medical students and others taking a first comprehensive course in physiology. As such it is a reasonably satisfactory work. It treats all the major fields of the subject and gives a great deal of information, though not always with a great deal of critical acumen. For example, it is stated categorically, and a chemical equation is written purporting to show, that the gastric hydrochloric acid is derived from a reaction between sodium chloride and carbonic acid.
A beginning student could scarcely be blamed for interpreting that statement literally. Another example of this type of defect appears in the last chapter, on emotional reactions. Here the ideology of psychoanalysis is freely, and without critical comment, incorporated as physiologic dogma. The assumption, for example, of a "censor" for an extensive subconscious mind is not based on acceptable scientific data and does not deserve unqualified acceptance in a

Quote:Leo this isn't a challenge or anything, but I've seen guys who can be considered "beefy" like pro wrestlers. These guys are buff, and have big waist lines yet they still have abdominals showing.I understand a good diet with the proper abdominal exercies are good, crunches, lats, bicycles, leg raises, and sit ups. These can give the appearance of a lean stomach with a low fat, low-mid carbo, high protein diet.But what about those guys with the big waist lines who have ab definitions. Obviously they work their abdominals but have huge waist lines.These guys are like the opposite of body builders. They have muscles but are not lean and cut.

A new cooling structure designed by a Stanford research team can cool structures even under direct sunlight, according to a profile of the device in Nano Letters.
The device is highly reflective, keeping it from heating up and defeating the purpose of cooling. It also uses the same mechanism as the greenhouse effect to direct thermal radiation away from itself – specifically, it efficiently emits thermal radiation within a tightly defined wavelength range that can escape through the atmosphere. Light outside that range is reflected back to the earth, trapping heat and raising the temperature below.
Previous studies focused on using radiative cooling at night to mitigate the greenhouse effect. However, peak cooling demand occurs in the daytime, which posed considerable challenges for previous researchers.
"We've taken a very different approach compared to previous efforts in this field," said Aaswath Raman, a doctoral candidate in Fan's lab and a co-first-author of the paper. "We combine the thermal emitter and solar reflector into one device, making it both higher performance and much more robust and practically relevant. In particular, we're very excited because this design makes viable both industrial-scale and off-grid applications."
The device achieves a net cooling power of over 100 watts per square meter, roughly the same amount of power generated by the average commercially available solar panel. The passive technology requires no energy to operate and could someday replace existing solar panels that feed electricity to HVAC systems, the research team says.

RAID5 is nice, but this one is SLOW!
This review is from: BUFFALO DriveStation Quattro 2TB USB 2.0 / eSATA 3.5" External Hard Drive HD-Q2.0TSU2/R5
Pros: Supports RAID5, has USB 2.0 and eSATA interfaces, comes with a PCI SATA adapter.
Cons: SUPER SLOW!!! The maximum transfer speed, either reading or writing, I could get over USB 2.0 is 13 megabytes per second. For comparison - WD MyBook (any edition) gives up to 36 megabytes per second read/write speed over USB 2.0 on the same computer.
Other Thoughts: The speed is absolutely not acceptable for a device that costs this much. Especially if more than one process tries to access the drive, in which case the speed might drop to single digit numbers (3-6 megabytes per second in my case). I'm not sure how you can make the device so slow, considering that, say, WD My Book Pro II gives nearly 40 megabytes per second both reading and writing. I suspect the USB is to blame - probably Buffalo uses some weird USB implementation. Unfortunately I don't have an eSATA to compare.

SEATTLE (AP) — A man charged in a brutal rape and stabbing attack on a lesbian couple in Seattle two summers ago is expected to testify Wednesday wearing an electroshock device.
Isaiah Kalebu has been so disruptive he has been barred from attending his own trial, which has been going on for three weeks. A guard is prepared to activate the stun device if Kalebu has a violent outburst when he testifies in his own defense.
The 25-year-old is charged with aggravated murder, attempted murder, rape and burglary in the July 2009 attack. Teresa Butz was killed.
If Kalebu is convicted as charged, he faces a sentence of life in prison without parole.

Hi! I found the solution for my last question by myself, and now it works fine for every thumbnails. But it doesn't generate @2x image only for the original file. I use Picturefill method. How could I fix it?
Hi! I found the solution for my last question by myself, and now it works fine for every thumbnails. But it doesn't generate @2x image only for the original file. I use Picturefill method. How could I fix it?
This is because it is not possible to generate the retina file for the original image. If the plugin was, the result would be the same or worse than using the original one (without counting that it would take extra space).
Thank you for your answer so fast. But now I wonder how could I load the retina image for the uploaded file? I uploaded 'image.jpg' file and the plugin generates 'image-400x60.jpg' and 'firstname.lastname@example.com' but doesn't generate 'firstname.lastname@example.com', so my theme cannot load it. I want to load the retina image for an uploaded file. Isn't this possible?
You would need to manually create and upload 'firstname.lastname@example.com' because the plugin doesn't upsize an image to a size bigger than the original.
I thought about adding an option for those who wants to use the original image and upload (via the plugin) the @2x version as well. Well, it would be more than just an option. But I have no idea how many people are interested in having that in reality.
Thanks to both of you for answers! I misunderstood about this kind of plug-ins, so I mistook it for generating the retina version for my original uploads automatically. Now I see how it works. I'm creating a theme and it has features so that users are able to upload any kinds of images like site logo, slider images, background images, and so on through the Media Library on admin options page. So I worry if the @2x versions for wp-generated-thumbnails of the user-created @2x image would also be generated unintentionally when user uploads it. And for slider images, do I need to make the users to upload their retina versions one by one manually?
Create new WP Sizes through your theme and use those sizes in your theme, that's the solution. For the logo, it's special (very custom size used at only one place) so they should upload the @2x themselves.
Hey Jordy just came across this thread and just thought I'd throw in my two cents. I for one would definitely be interested in having this. The reason being is that it complicates things for clients to have to scale their images before uploading them, and I think it would make things a bit easier for theme developers. Clients would simply be able to upload their images, plugin would produce all of the images for retina display at all sizes, css would take care of the dimensions at varying widths, and the plugin would decide which version of the image to display. Most clients are going to be uploading images that are close to the dimensions displayed on the desktop version of their site, so I can definitely see this as helping out a lot.
I might be missing something as to why this option is not included already, but I think many users who are searching for this type of plugin are looking for this kind of feature.
p.s. thanks for an awesome plugin
Hey Kevin. Of course I understand your (and your clients) point. On my side, however, the normal bloggers (uploading images) always use re-sized images (then, if you click on them, you get the huge size) so for most images it should be this way. Of course, there are exceptions if the website uses always images with different format...
I would be willing to develop this, I am actually not against it, the problem is that it would take a lot of time, I would have to revamp a few things (dashboard, settings), to do a lot of testing and probably even support.
Maybe we should have a kickstart? That would help...
Kevin, what you're saying (correct me if I'm wrong) is that your theme(s) is unable to scale up (via HTML/CSS width properties) the original size non-@2x image to fill a given area on your site design and you would therefore like a plugin to create a @2x version of the original image for display on the site.
In either case (1. scale up using HTML/CSS, 2. scale up using a plugin/image processor) the @2x original image will probably look about the same… terrible. It won't be "Retina" quality and it won't look good.
Luke, I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing. It is not that the original images are not large enough to fill in given areas on my site design, but rather when visitors are on retina devices there are no @2x versions with higher resolutions to replace the originals. You probably know this, but it does not matter what the @2x image looks like on a regular desktop (it will be large and distorted), but using inline html or css I could set it to the smaller width, thus presenting it in the original size yet with higher resolution for retina devices. The reason why this plugin can come in handy is that if there are dynamic areas in my design where users themselves upload and include images at varying widths, the plugin would be able to automatically generate a bloated @2x image which will look sharp and crisp when displayed on a retina device.
Jordy, thanks so much for the consideration. I did not realize how much time it would take to add this feature. I briefly took a look at the code to see if I would be able to add it myself, but at this point it is beyond my paygrade. Let me know what you have in mind and how I can help.
What if this plugin would have the feature that let users upload @2x images and the plugin generates non-@2x images? Then @2x images have absolutely the bigger size and there'll be no problem with creating the smaller images. If a user uploaded 'email@example.com' then the plugin generates 'potato.jpg' and the @2x versions only for wp-auto-generated thumbnail images. If needed, the plugin could check the uploaded file name whether it has the suffix '@2x' or not.
Alright guys, I don't get your use-case scenario so I'll let Jordy figure what the plugin can do for you. Good luck.
Hey pink I was thinking that too, the only reason I didn't suggest it is that it would still require users to scale up their images before uploading them through the media uploader. If they are already doing that, then they would already have both an original and @2x pic that they can just upload themselves. The whole idea I brought this up would be to make things easier on their end so they wouldn't have to take the extra step of scaling up their images.
Impossible to ask the users to upload an @2x file to start with, it would make the whole process "too weird" and super complicated for most users. The only clean way to do it is to let the user upload their files normally, then later add a @2x version of the original file they are using. The plugin would provide in that case more information and a more obvious upload process...
Right Jordy that's what I was also thinking. Let me know if you would need any help with this, if you would like I could contact you via the form linked to on your website.
Hey Jordy, I know you were interested in this. Any updates?
There will be support and direct upload available in the dashboard in the next version of the plugin coming out in a very few days. That will be part of the Pro version. Standard users will still be able to upload them manually by FTP (by making sure the dimensions and the filenames are correct).

I'm an older guy (56) who just started biking again this summer. I rode a bike daily as a kid growing up (60's & 70's) than later when I got married and moved to a small town I rode a lot. Lost touch with bikes for many many years and just got the bug this summer and bought a Hybrid. Giant Cypress DX. I only have weekends to ride but I really enjoy it. Very peaceful and relaxing. I've already stated changing shifters and seats and I'm looking to change the handlebar next. Bikes are an addiction it seems.
Look forward to learning a few things here and being a small part of the bike community.
Thanks for having me!

Don't read this thread until you read this :
Today I became a clydesdale. My thoughts when I woke up this morning are all captured in the thread above. It was bad at the time.
And then this morning, a friend named Nita that I have known since high school (6 years ago) knew I was having a rough time. She had her friend pick me up and take her to the bar she (Nita) works at. Gave me free drinks and shots, and paid $40 for a cab to take me home.
As for the girl I talked about in the other thread, I told her today that I needed time away, and I will come back when I am ready to be her friend.
I snapped out of my depression of 2 months today fully for the first time. I feel hungry, and (earlier) I rode the bike and it felt amazing! There's no need to ride like a savage animal (although I will still, just in a happy way).
All those great things happened today, but I would like to especially thank RandoneeRider for his post on the thread I linked to. I would say it kick started the positive thoughts today... I felt like I got a good kick in the rear this morning for not appreciating what I have. I needed it.
The bike I have has about 500 miles on it, I got it about 35 days ago. Today was the first time I rode it with such a great outlook on life! Pic attached below.
I advise anyone that is in a hard situation, to keep on the bike. Not like I did though. I lost 42lbs, the VERY VERY VERY hard way... remember that everyone says "you will get there"... and it always seemed like just a positive saying for me. But you will, and I will. As for now, I am not going to post on this thread again here unless someone really wants me to.
Tomorrow I will ride like a savage animal, but when I get home I will have a smile on my face and eat some chicken strips. Because it's my favorite food and I haven't had anything like that in 2 months. It's time to live. Remember these words (not by me):
For years I believed that it was necessary to keep going, no matter what. The burdens that life heaped upon you only made you stronger. The man in this sculpture literally plows through life, dragging a monstrous anchor behind him and having to develop Herculean strength to continue his unending task.
It is not a grim outlook. I simply cut the chain.

A former champion swimmer from Hudson's Bay High School has been identified as one of the victims of a plane crash Wednesday.
Seth Dawson, 31, was identified Thursday by relatives as one of three people killed in the crash near North Bend, according to The Seattle Times. He was the swimming coach at Kentlake High School.
In 1998, Dawson won the Class 4A state title in the 200-meter freestyle event. The next year, he won titles in the 100 and 200 freestyle events.
In 2004, while at Cal State Bakersfield, he finished second in the NCAA Division II 200 individual medley and third in the 200 freestyle. He also was a part of three relay teams that won national titles and helped the Roadrunners to the team championship.
Rob Marshall Hill was identified as the pilot who was killed in the crash. He was a swim coach at Decatur High School, where he had graduated in 1999, and also coached the Valley Aquatics Swim Team in South King County.
Hill was a pilot and a private flight instructor, according to his sister, Becca Goode of Federal Way.
The identity of the third crash victim, Liz Redling, 29, of Federal Way, was confirmed by a woman who answered the phone at her house, but she declined to speak further.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office had not officially released the names of the crash victims as of Thursday afternoon. A candlelight vigil for the victims will be held at Decatur High School at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
The probe into the cause of Wednesday's crash will focus on the weather, the pilot's background, and the aircraft's maintenance, investigators said.
According to Mike Fergus, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, preliminary information indicates the crash occurred between 1:30 a.m. and 2 a.m.
Cindi West, spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff's Office, said two deputies on patrol heard an explosion and began searching for the wreckage. Neighbors also reported hearing a "sputter, pop and an explosion," she said.
"I heard it crash into a sheer cliff, and indeed that's what's up there," North Bend resident Terry Jensen told KING-TV. "It's a tragedy."
An emergency transmitter was either activated on impact or by someone in the single-engine Cessna, said Tom Peterson, aviation emergency-services coordinator for the state Department of Transportation. While the sheriff's helicopter followed the signal to the crash site, searchers using night-vision goggles spotted aircraft debris hanging from broken tree branches, Deputy Ken O'Neal said.
Ground searchers reached the crash site at daylight and found the bodies of the victims, West said.
One of the bodies was carried by a search-and-rescue team more than a mile through rugged terrain, according to the Sheriff's Office. The other two victims were airlifted by helicopter to a medical examiner's van near North Bend.
Little was immediately known about the plane's itinerary, according to Fergus. He said the pilot had not been in contact with air traffic control.
Nighttime flying under visual rules without contacting air traffic control is permitted and not unusual, said National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator Wayne Pollack.

UPDATE 2:25 p.m. EST: The suspects' names are Azamat Tazhayakov, Dias Kadyrbayev and Robel Phillipos. From The Boston Globe:
Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both 19 and of New Bedford, were charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice by plotting to dispose of a laptop computer and a backpack containing fireworks belonging to bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the US attorney's office said in a statement.
Robel Phillipos, 19, of Cambridge was charged with making false statements to law enforcement officials in a terorism investigation, prosecutors said.
12:10 p.m. EST: According to Boston.com, the three suspects went to school at UMass-Dartmouth with Dzhokar Tsarnaev and may have helped him in the days immediately following the bombing, which was on April 15. Two of the suspects have been charged with overstaying their student visas.
The Boston Police Department announced that it has taken into custody three new suspects as a result of its ongoing investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing.
The city of Boston suffered through a terrible ordeal this week after the Boston Marathon bombings and their subsequent suspect manhunt created surreal scenes on both Monday and Friday...
The second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing has been captured. Dzokhar Tsarnaev was taken into police custody Friday night -- five days after the bombing that left three dead and left more than 100 injured, police said. The 19-year-old was apprehended after a manhunt that began Thursday night with the fatal shooting of an MIT officer and extended into the evening hours on Friday.
Authorities have released video and close-up images of two young men carrying backpacks that are being sought for questioning in the Boston Marathon Bombings.
2:45 p.m. (EST): The Boston Police Department has announced that "there has not been an arrest in the Marathon attack." Investigations are ongoing.
2:35 p.m.: CNN is retracting their previous report that an arrest has been made in the Boston Marathon bombings. Other sources are reporting that officials are close to identifying a suspect after reviewing area surveillance video, but no arrests have been made.
The comedian and actor delivered and uplifting message on his Facebook page we all needed to hear after the tragic bombing during the Boston Marathon.
9 p.m. (EST): The final press conference of the day with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis and various other officials just concluded. The FBI is now leading investigations of the events. Davis confirmed that three people were killed in today's blasts.
CNN is reporting that one of the victims killed was an 8-year-old boy. The Wall Street Journal had reported that as many as five other unexploded devices were found around Boston, but investigators now doubt that they were actually bombs.
No doubt we will see video from next to the explosions and reactions from the blocks around, but this short video of police, marathon medical personnel and by-standers rushing INTO the aftermath is what makes America great.
The man who held five firefighters hostage in Suwanee, Ga. earlier on Wednesday has been shot and killed by SWAT members. Four hostages are slightly injured, but authorities say they should be OK.
