TEMPE, Ariz. - – A 10-run sixth inning powered the Arizona State University baseball team to a 14-6 win over the University of Arizona in the first Territorial Cup game of the season on Wednesday afternoon in front of a season-high 3,913 fans at Packard Stadium in Tempe, Ariz.
The Sun Devils (13-10) erased a five-run deficit in the middle innings as they scored three in the fifth and 10 in the sixth to jump out to a commanding lead, 14-6. ASU set a season high in runs scored, hits and runs batted in en route to its first win in a best-of-five series against the Wildcats (11-16). ASU currently leads the Territorial Cup Scoring, 6.5-6, with seven sports still undecided.
ASU notched three runs in the bottom of the fifth to pull within two, 6-4, on a pair of leadoff singles, a passed ball, a sacrifice fly by sophomore center fielder Johnny Sewald and an RBI single by junior first baseman Nate Causey. The Devils then held UA scoreless in the top of the sixth before they sent 16 batters to the plate in the 10-run bottom half of the inning, which was the most runs scored in a frame since they tallied 13 in the ninth inning against Arizona on April 29, 2009.
Sophomore right-hander Jordan Aboites (3-1) tossed a perfect 2 2/3 innings with two strikeouts to earn the win. He is now tied with sophomore left-handed starter Brett Lilek for the most wins on the team.
Freshman catcher Brian Serven tied a career high with three RBI and scored two runs, Sewald drove in a pair and Causey went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored. Causey has now gone 10-for-13 with three runs scored in the past three games.
This was the Devils' first game of the season with more than 3,000 fans and ASU came into the game as the West Coast leader in average attendance with more 2,700 fans per game. ASU has led the West Coast and Pac-12 in average attendance for nine consecutive years and 10 of the past 11 seasons.
UA struck first in the top of the second inning with back-to-back singles and a two-run double by first baseman Bobby Dalbec to take a 2-0 lead. The Devils countered in the bottom of the frame with a leadoff single by junior right fielder Jake Peevyhouse and an RBI double by Serven to cut their deficit to one, 2-1.
Wildcats second baseman Trent Gilbert hit a solo home run with one out in the top of the fourth inning and UA tallied three more in the fifth to extend its lead to five, 6-1. A leadoff walk, a double and a fielding error brought home the first two runs of the frame, and an RBI single by shortstop Kevin Newman knocked in the third before Aboites induced an inning-ending double play on the first pitch he threw to nullify the bases-loaded threat.
The Devils forced four pitching changes by UA in the sixth inning and notched 10 runs on six hits, two fielding errors, two wild pitches and a passed ball.
Freshman right-hander Hever Bueno and senior right-hander Josh McAlister combined to pitch a scoreless eighth and ninth inning to close out the win. Starting freshman right-hander Seth Martinez allowed five runs, including four earned, on five hits in a no-decision in his second career start.
UA left-hander Xavier Borde took the loss after conceding one run on one walk in the sixth inning. Starting right-hander Tyger Talley allowed four runs on eight hits and struck out three.
The Devils moved to 213-239 all-time against Arizona…sophomore right-hander Eric Melbostad faced four batters in the fifth and allowed one unearned on two hits.
Up Next
The Sun Devils travel to 15th-ranked UCLA March 28-30 for their second consecutive road Pac-12 series against a ranked team. First pitch on Friday is at 6 p.m., followed by a 2 p.m. start on Saturday and a 1 p.m. start on Sunday.

Eva is the branch manager of the Civic Center Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
The DVR is programmed, the sofa is cleared, the snacks are ready, the remote is in hand, and the TV is tuned to ESPN2. Now, leave me alone, it's March Madness!
You know March Madness, right? Conference Championships! Bracketology! The Big Dance! The Final Four! Of course, I'm talking about College Basketball. But my particular madness is Women's College Basketball.
Basketball has been my passion since I was "allowed" to play with the guys in our church rec room, since I played on my high school team, since my dad put a hoop and backboard on the garage and I started beating the neighborhood guys at HORSE and 1-on-1. I played on my college basketball team (that's me in the photo), and on Rec teams after graduation. But I didn't suffer madness until I watched Cheryl Miller on television. And Dawn Staley. And Sheryl Swoopes. And shuddered from the glare of Pat Summitt. From there it was a quick spiral into madness. Or perhaps I should say addiction – I couldn't get enough of women's college basketball. I supported local college teams in Pittsburgh, New York City, and the Bay Area. And now with a DVR and more cable TV outlets, I happily become a couch potato from Thanksgiving to April as I watch one Women's College Basketball game after another. (Except when I make the 110 mile roundtrip to Stanford to watch the Cardinal beat up on their conference and non-conference opponents. Go Stanford!)
Here are some interesting reads that may get you caught up in my madness:
Some must see DVDs:
Oh, gotta go. I've got games to watch!

Strong winds hit Wilmington as possibility of snow looms
Published: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 5:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 9:58 p.m.
While the possibility of snow loomed across the area Tuesday, heavy winds were likely to have a larger impact into Wednesday, said a National Weather service meteorologist.
Speaking Tuesday night, Stephen Keebler said the National Weather Service's Wilmington office had not yet seen any precipitation, but had observed peak wind speeds of 39 mph and sustained gusts of 30 mph at Wilmington International Airport.
"It's gonna blow like this probably for the next 12 to 16 hours," Keebler said, adding there had already been some reports of trees down and power flickering.
Temperatures also plummeted Tuesday night, falling from a high of 70 degrees in the early afternoon to 45 degrees at 7:53 p.m.
A National Weather Service forecast said temperatures Wednesday morning were expected to range between 28 and 35 degrees at their lowest.
While the temperature fell Tuesday evening, light rain and drizzle advanced on the area from the northwest, and Wilmington had a 50 percent chance of precipitation overnight.
If snow does fall, a NWS forecast said, mild surface and soil temperatures should prevent it from sticking.
No matter what weather comes, the area's roads will be clear, according to a N.C. Department of Transportation release.
Crews across Southeastern North Carolina, including Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender counties, have resources including brine, salt and sand available to them, the release said. They will be on standby into the night.
As part of dry runs conducted this fall, according to the release, crews have traveled their routes to familiarize themselves before inclement weather happens.
The DOT will not brine roads before the weather comes because the pavement is warm and the weather is forecast to begin as rain before possibly turning to snow, according to the release.

Last year it was Honeysuckle - that rich reddish-pink that screamed sophistication and powerful feminity. This year, Pantone's Color of the Year is the seductive and vivacious shade of, yep, you guessed it: Tangerine Tango.
You've probably already noticed it popping up on everything from handbags to throw pillows, and if you've got the guts to pull it off, you can even get it for your cheeks and lips.
I took a spin around the city and found more than a fair share of options for decking yourself out from head to toe. Really, there wasn't a single store that didn't have some variation of the spicy hue.
If you're feeling a little shy of such an eye-catching statement, try starting with a few accessories like earrings or a watch. A little courage is all it takes to proudly sport this shade all summer long.

SALC (Southern Arizona Leadership Council) is a group of CEO's that came together 20+ years ago. Members pay upwards of $6000+ per year to be a part of an elite club. They get together to lament on the great work they are doing in the community and support the work of local government. Judge for yourself the results.
As of late SALC has taken on the Tucson Town Hall forum, which brought together various community and political leaders together to talk about our regions problems. They are running a pretty cool 'Tucson Values Teachers – a support teachers campaign' and working hard on literacy issues in our community. SALC and Tucson Town Hall sponsored an Urban Land Institute series on the coming Megalopolis. There was a time when SALC was a little more willing to push an agenda – HERE. See SALC members list HERE
SALC just put out a position paper asking the state legislators to tax our business properties to balance the state budget. Not your typical position for a group of business leaders.
Hey guys, Arizona's budget took 100 years to get to $6 billion (2001) and five to grow another $4 billion. Between 2001 and 2006, our state budget had ballooned to $10.3 billion. Budget growth far outpaced population increases at every level of government. What caused the huge increase in dollars to the state coffers you ask? Only one of the biggest housing booms in the United States history.
What does each level of Arizona government depend on as their economic piggy bank? Construction! Huge amounts of sales taxes, income taxes and assorted fees rolled into City, State and County government and they spent spent spent.
Time to pay the piper. Private businesses are laying off and cutting to the bone to survive. Entire industries are virtually shutting down. Why shouldn't government be doing the same? You spent too much in the good times and now it's time to trim back in the bad. My home values are back to 2004 levels, how about yours?
Don't gimmick, shift between funds, bond, sell our lottery revenues, put up speed cameras all over the place, borrow or use accounting tricks. Cut back like we've had to do.
Certain areas are going to be hurt. Unfortunately things like university education, 21st Century Fund, Rio Nuevo, k-12, healthcare among others are going to suffer a little pain. It's not going to be a fun time. We will emerge through this tough spot in a better position. It's the cycle of life. Booms and busts have come and gone for generations.
The states, cities and counties that address the issues head on will emerge stronger and attract better and stronger industries. Better and stronger industries mean more money for government……you get the point. The first sentence of the SALC position statement should say it all……
From RumRomanismRebellion.com.
While agreeing that Arizona's tax policies deter business and the creation of jobs, the SALC Board of Directors believes that it is imprudent during the state's financial crisis to permanently repeal the state equalization property tax. It is critically important to preserve the state's infrastructure for the future, and SALC believes repealing the tax right now would do more harm than good. SALC believes that preserving the tax is only one part of a larger set of actions needed to ensure the state is prepared to be competitive in the future.
Hrm. They also call for the tax to be suspended later, which I don't agree with, but, unlike our legislators, they seem to understand that cutting revenue when you are running out of money makes no sense. That's what a business background will do: twist your brain around with practicalities.
Later in the release, they outline what they think state budget priorities should be:
1. Continue to the extent possible to provide basic services to ensure the health and well being of the most vulnerable among us.
2. Consider a combination of spending reductions, deferrals, debt financing, revenue enhancement and other short-term strategies to solve the budget shortfall.
3. Maintain to the extent possible investment spending in areas like education and economic development.
4. Investigate and pursue all non-state sources of assistance, such as federal stimulus spending and federal grants.
5. Base spending cuts on specific programmatic considerations.
Health? Education? Economic development? What sort of anti-American Socialism is this? Hank Amos, Jim Click, Bruce Ash, Steve Lynn, Don Pitt, Katie Dusenberry…trotskyites all!

The Zend_Date toString() function with parameter 'e' counts weekdays now from 0 instate from 1 like it is written in the documentation.
'e' which is equal to WEEKDAY_DIGIT counts from 0 to 6 as mentioned in the manual.
I have not found a description where it was mentioned that it counts from 1 to 7 (which is only the case for WEEKDAY_8601).
Mentioned issue not reproducable.
Fixed only a wrong constant (which also uses 0-6) but no description like mentioned from the reporter has been found.

Wilmington poised to loosen food truck rules
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 2:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 2:43 p.m.
Wilmington city planners may be done fine-tuning proposed regulations that would give food trucks more freedom to operate.
Want to go?
What: Wilmington Planning Commission meeting
Where: City Hall, 102 N. Third St.
When: 6 p.m., July 10
For more information, go to wilmingtonnc.gov/foodtrucks
On Wednesday, the city's planning commission met with staff to reconsider rules for the trucks.
The backstory
James Smith, who owns the Patty Wagon, asked the city for the new rules after learning current rules only allow him to visit a single location for seven consecutive days or two consecutive weekends. After that, he can't return for 45 days.
Smith proposed allowing trucks to operate between 6 a.m. and 3 a.m. year-round in nonresidential areas.
On June 5, the planning commission opted to delay voting on the proposal so they could pare it down to accommodate concerns about allowing trucks to operate 21 hours a day.
While food truck operators want the city to add rules accommodating them, some restaurant owners are concerned about the possibility food trucks could siphon away customers.
The latest rules
After hearing concerns about his initial proposal, Smith met with some downtown restaurant owners. Ultimately, he revised his proposal so that food trucks operating downtown would have more restrictions than elsewhere in the city.
At a Wednesday morning work session, the planning commission seemed to agree on the major components of the new rules.
The rules include these main provisions:
Mobile food units apply to receive an annual permit from the city
Food trucks must receive permission from the owner to be on their property
Food trucks have to be 75 feet away from the main entrance of an open restaurant (or 25 feet for food carts less than 5 feet in length).
In the downtown central business district:
Food trucks can only spend a maximum of five hours on a specific site
Only one truck can be on a single site per day
A single food truck can operate at no more than two sites per day.
The commission will vote on those rules at its July 10 meeting. After that, the city council will consider its recommendation and vote on the proposal.

Discover More Ideas You'll Need
Rated 3.2 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by fancifulcarrie Has been used for many parties! I got this as a wedding gift last year. Since then it has been used for a dozen parties. My friends have even borrowed it for some of their own events. The first time I used it the spout leaked but my husband tightened it and it has not leaked yet. I mostly serve 'spa' water in it. I just fill it with water and cut up slices of cucumber lime and orange. It has always been popular at parties and is big enough to last through a 20 person party. June 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Just what I was looking for! I used this dispenser this past weekend when the whole family was over. I filled it with water and lemon slices. The little girls enjoyed helping by filling everyone's glasses. It held more than enough for everyone. The spigot is a little slow, but that is true of all dispensers. March 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by josanpu Great Looks good, great size, works - albeit a bit slow on the flow - but OK. March 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Monica Leaks Does anyone know if this leaks or not at the spout. I have bought several glass dispensers like this at different places and they all leaked. It is so fustrating to find a glass one that does not leak. May 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by darkNiGHTS Is this some kind of joke? The flow is so slow it is unusable! First thing I did when I got it was wash it and I was letting the water out and realized it would take about 40 seconds to fill a 12oz glass. And this is supposed to be used for entertaining? I looked inside the spout and there is a piece of plastic that restricts the flow in half for some reason. Terrible design, why would you make it flow slow on purpose? I may modify it myself because it seems to be well built and doesn't leak. May 27, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ann1 The spout drip out and also leak waste of mony Nothing to like about product Hate product Waste of money April 3, 2013

- 4-1/2 teaspoons chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
- 1-1/2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 8 flour tortillas (6 inches)
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lemon juice, oil and garlic. Add the halibut; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- For sauce and salsa, peel and cube avocados. In a small bowl, mash 1/4 cup avocado. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients. Place remaining avocados in a small bowl; stir in the remaining salsa ingredients. Refrigerate sauce and salsa until serving.
- Drain fish and discard marinade. Broil halibut 4-6 in. from the heat for 8-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Place fish on the center of each tortilla. Top each with 1/4 cup cabbage, about 1 tablespoon sauce and 1/4 cup salsa. Yield: 4 servings.
Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Storm Thorgerson, arguably best known as the designer of Pink Floyd's album cover for Dark Side of the Moon, died Thursday, April 18, 2013, after a battle with cancer. He was both a close friend to the band and integral to their artistic vision. The Library and Archives has two compendiums of his career, which lasted from the 1960s well into 2012. The first, Mind Over Matter : the Images of Pink Floyd, concentrates on his breakthrough work with the influential rock band and 1996 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. The second is a lavish, limited edition set by Genesis Publications called Taken by Storm : the Album Art of Storm Thorgerson (pictured below), which features a 203-page book edited by Thorgerson himself, as well as full-color prints, a bonus retrospective book on SunStorm Studios and a 3-D Viewmaster of cover images.
The Library and Archives also holds several album cover collections edited and compiled by Thorgerson:
Classic album Covers of the 60s / compiled and written by Storm Thorgerson

ZF-6857: Zend_Navigation View Helper inconsistency
I have populated a Zend Navigation object (container with lots of pages) via an XML document and Zend_Config. I render navigation on my pages in two ways:
[1] To generate s kind of side menu, I use $this->navigation()->menu()->renderMenu($menuPortal, $menuOptions);
[2] To generate a breadcrumb trail, I use $this->navigation()->breadcrumbs()->setMinDepth(1)->setSeparator(' ▶' . PHP_EOL)
Both do (mostly) what I want. However, one of my page labels is 'Lunch&Learn'. The menu version renders the label with the & as an html entity (&). The breadcrumb version does not. Appears to be a bug.
I'll look into it and fix it later today.
Fixed in r16060.

Vector control works to stem growth of mosquito population
Published: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 10:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 10:07 a.m.
You might see, hear or smell the Skeetermobile next week in New Hanover County neighborhoods.
Protect yourself
To reduce the annoyance of mosquito bites and to prevent transmission of mosquito-borne infections:
Minimize time spent outdoors at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.
Wear shoes, socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt when outdoors for long periods of time, or when mosquitoes are most active. Light-colored clothing made of tightly woven materials works best.
Use mosquito netting when sleeping outdoors or in an unscreened structure, and to protect small children when outdoors.
Keep door and window screens in good repair.
Use mosquito repellent.
The reduction of standing water available for mosquito breeding is the most effective action homeowners can take to control mosquitoes. Places to check:
Old tires
Tarps and buckets
Low spots in your yard
Unused plastic swimming pools and toys
Bases of flowerpots
Watering cans
Pet dishes or containers
Rain gutters
Standing water on flat roofs
Areas around faucets and AC units
Boats and cargo trailers
Souce: www.NHCgov.com
New Hanover County Vector Control didn't roll the mosquito spray truck this week. But after analyzing the data from light traps, Senior Environmental Health Program Specialist David Jenkins, said it's likely that his three mosquito warriors will be out in neighborhoods killing mosquitoes next week.
Their battle protects the citizens of New Hanover County in two ways.
"Mosquitoes are a nuisance," Jenkins said. "It's unbearable to be outdoors in some places in this county."
The more serious threat, however, is the threat of disease. West Nile virus and eastern equine encephalitis are two potent diseases spread by mosquitoes.
"By keeping the numbers under control, we lessen the potential for the transmission of the virus to the animal population and the human population," Jenkins said.
Vector control is working to keep New Hanover County off the map – the Centers for Disease Control map that plots cases of West Nile and EEE.
This year, West Nile has yet to make an appearance in North Carolina, although seven human cases were reported in 2012. The closest to New Hanover County were isolated cases in Pitt, Wayne and Scotland counties.
One case of EEE was reported in Brunswick County last year. New Hanover had five cases of EEE reported last year in its sentinel flock, which are essentially bait chickens. No cases of EEE have been reported this year in North Carolina.
This week, vector control treated certain breeding areas with larvicide. Its primary target is the black salt marsh mosquito. The spray truck emits an adulticide, which kills adult mosquitoes. Its primary target is the Asian tiger mosquito.
Vector control seems to be holding the line against mosquitoes, but they'd like to enlist the help of homeowners, Jenkins said.
When they're not spraying, testing or gathering data, Vector Control workers try to educate the public. The homeowner's first defense, Jenkins said, is to destroy the breeding ground.
Emptying any standing water (from flower pots, old tires, children's toys, etc.) is an effective way to reduce the number of mosquitoes near your home.
"It's really an endless battle," Jenkins said. "It takes a collective effort, and homeowners have to do their part."

i like you, your background, and your posting style, but you dont seem to grasp the concept of a god.
a god is an ever-present, ever expanding yet infinitely existent being that has existed in every possible dimension/reality and will continue to exist. the presence of its consiousness is through the people it uses as its representatives. it can literally be anything and everything all at once. or it can be nothing. it depends on how you set your reality into motion whether or not it will affect you until death. its not "in the sky" keke. its much more complicated.
the sheer psychology of a being that can willingly change the perception of reality to an expansive existence of conscious beings in an instant (i.e. at any instant it could make us think a pencil's identity is a fish) is beyond humanity or any other alien consiousness's grasp.
please dont make me go into psycho-active reality and perceptive theory with you keke! i'll have to use my KUNG FU POWAAAAHHH, FUAHH!
your welcome
he was as subtly insulting as he could be and still hope to ever be friendly again, he even went so far as to say that I am unnecessary. way harsh
If he doesn't like me, he could have at least been blunt, but he did that passive aggressive bullshit that I so loath in him.
Your an absolutely wonderful man, any girl that is yours is lucky and I know that from personal experience. ~KMT
Pantheism. It's retarded.

You've done some awesome things in the past... and since you set a high bar, I'm expecting a lot more from you.

How did yours go, mine was all nerdy.
OH pretty decent.. Disney World... which was decent this time around, then went to Arkansas with Nyrisis and my family... it was good.
what's up with all these rating threads.
Dogar and Nyrisis next.... I'll put em up later tonight for sure... Then Ninez and Eve....and Rounding out with Rayne and... Blackbird...
Dogar - The First Legend. Yeah... we all know. Dogar's great. He's a prankster and a cool dude. His posts are often juvenile but almost always amusing and most times he knows what he's talking about. For him it seems... PD is about fun times... not about douche baggish debating. He needs to join a current RP to round out his resume though.
Battle... Pankration.. The Greeks invented the mixed martial art. And that's the way Dogie should go. Punching, kicking and grappling. The way to win is to either have your opponent give up or be physically disabled.
Nyrisis - My Lady Friend. I can't be sunjective of course. I like Nyrisis and I like her as a poster. Unfortunately she hasn't been around long enough to make a big impression forumwise. She needs to post more of her art because she's quite good at it. Maybe make a cooking thread since that's her career...
Battle... Much as I'd love to say Jello Wrestling... I'm thinking simple Marksmanship. Baby, you're worried about zombies so you need to get good with a gun. Maybe I'll take ya back to the field with some of the family arsenal and let ya get some practice in.

Silversun Pickups – guitarist and vocalist Brian Aubert, bassist Nikki Monninger, drummer Christopher Guanlao and keyboardist Joe Lester – emerged on the LA music scene in the early 2000s alongside their 2005 debut, Pikul. The group's following grew dramatically in 2006 with the release of Carnavas, featuring the breakthrough single "Lazy Eye." That album and subsequent releases, including 2009's Swoon and 2012's Neck of the Woods, have showcased the band's gift for electrifying soundscapes, textured arrangements and male-female vocal harmonies.
The Grammy-nominated quartet visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on August 8, 2013, touring the Museum before a gig at Cleveland's famous Agora Theater. Silversun Pickups singer/guitarist Brian Aubert sat down for an interview with the Rock Hall.
Rock Hall: What was the first record/CD you ever bought and do you still listen to it?
Brian Aubert: The first album I remember buying was Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual. I was really little, and I was on a family trip to Anchorage, Alaska. I found it in a mall and the purchase made me feel like an adult. Yes, I do listen to it here and there.
RH: What ...
Etta James was a pioneer. Through a career that spanned more than six decades, James' raw, unharnessed voice crossed genres, with Fifties hits such as "The Wallflower" and "Good Rockin' Daddy" cementing her role in the genesis of rock and roll alongside Chuck Berry, Ray Charles and Little Richard, and her soulful pop and blues explorations of the Sixties ranking with the works of Dinah Washington and Billie Holiday. She continued to make her mark through 2011, with a string of award-winning, critically acclaimed releases that showcased her unique style.
James was born Jamesette Hawkins in Los Angeles in 1938. Although brought up in the church singing in the gospel choir, she was drawn to rhythm and blues, and rock and roll, and by her mid-teens had formed a vocal trio named the Creolettes that worked up an answer song to Hank Ballard's "Work With Me Annie" entitled "Roll With Me Henry." The trio caught the attention of bandleader Johnny Otis, who arranged for the group to record "Roll With Me Henry" (retitled as "The Wallflower") for Modern Records. Released with the group renamed the Peaches, "The Wallflower" topped the R&B chart for four weeks in 1955 ...

Photo Auction/Event to Benefit Japan Rebuilding To Be Held Next Week in NYC
A silent auction of photographic prints to benefit relief efforts in Japan will be held next Thursday, April 21 at 25CPW Gallery in New York City. The auction is being organized by a group of NY-based Japanese and American photographers, and includes work donated by more than 60 photographers.
Ticket sales for the event, and 100% of proceeds will go to Architecture for Humanity, a non-profit organization that is helping rebuild communities affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
Participating photographers include Gilles Bensimon, Kenro Izo, Elliott Erwitt, Jean Gaumy, Lois Conner, Nina Berman, Suzanne Opton, Wayne Liu, James Whitlow Delano, Jonathan Mannion, and Stephen Ferry.
In addition to a silent auction, the event will feature Japanese-themed live music, food and drink.
The event is dubbed The Wa Project, after the ancient Japanese term, which "dates back to the 8th century and means many things," says a statement by the organizers. "It is the ancient name of the spirit of the country itself. It also stands for peace and calm and is a symbol of the circle, unity, and harmony."
The Wa Project is being produced through a partnership with Nuru Project, 25CPW and Sombra Projects, with contributions from the Magnum Foundation and Friends Without Borders.

When you telecommute, people assume you have oodles of spare time. I mean, how hard can it be, right? No hour-long drive to the office. Just roll out of bed and hit the ground running! You don't even need to brush your teeth for that conference call. And you can get laundry done while you type up that proposal.
It's nothing like that.
Recently I discovered that if I don't leave the house to work in my local coffee shop (praise the gods for free Wi-Fi access), my attention span is akin to that of a kitten dumbstruck by a shiny object. There are too many distractions to get any one thing done. I'm torn in 100 different directions — dirty dishes, client proposal, sticky floors, strategy document… blah, blah, blah.
My point is, there is not a spare moment to be had when you are a working parent whether you sit in a nice, tidy office with a door or you're in a makeshift workspace in your dining room.
So when the requests for school volunteers come rolling in, the guilt bubbles up to the surface. You know, that guilt about how you can't do it all (even though you really want to bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan and be the PTA president)?
I'm sure no one in my kids' PTA is looking at me askance, but it's well-known that I don't "work outside the home." So when I turn down requests to attend meetings or stuff envelopes or make Play Doh, I feel like a total slacker. They're not saying it, but I am.
I'm a PTA drop-out.
I just can't. Even if I did have a spare hour or two, I'm going to be honest: I'd use that hour to get a pedicure. I'm sure that sounds totally selfish, but the fact of the matter is that I rarely get 15 minutes to sit and contemplate… well, anything. I know, cry me a river, right? You have the same problem, but you're able to find the time to bring plate of homemade cookies for the teacher appreciation lunch!
Here's the thing. I love my kids and I love my kids' school. They've had a great experience there and the teachers deserve praise and support. But something has to give and volunteering in the classroom is that thing.
I'm definitely uneasy about it, and I have been for a long time. My daughter began her educational journey at a cooperative nursery school and I was the only parent who paid a higher fee so I didn't have to work in the classroom. Leaving her there when all the other mommies took turns doing crafts and leading "Wheels on the Bus" gave me that slink-out-of-the-room feeling.
Granted, I was rebuilding my career after a long hiatus. But even if I hadn't been, I'm not sure I would have done it differently. My guilt is maybe less about the not-doing and maybe a little more about the I-don't-want-to-do-it.
Either way, I know my kids are part of a great school community. And I even raised my hand and said I'd help with the annual Halloween gathering this year.
I may even bring a veggie tray for teacher appreciation day—but I won't stay to eat it.

The project will strengthen national and regional capacities to contribute to and facilitate innovation processes for rural development in Eastern and Southern Africa.
Agricultural research for development (AR4D) contributes to poverty reduction through innovative application of new and existing knowledge and practices, thus creating new knowledge for development and social transformation. Supporting the process of innovation is widely considered to be an effective pathway for stimulating development. Indeed, improved productivity, profitability and sustainability of rural agro-ecosystems all require innovation. Innovation is a change process and can be dominantly technical, organisational or institutional; most often, successful innovation combines all these elements. Market innovation, stakeholder organisation and interaction and technical innovation do occur separately, but usually, to be successful and sustainable, a combination is required.
Research can significantly contribute to, and may even be a major catalyst of, this process of innovation. However, to effectively play this role, specific knowledge, skills and attitudes are required of AR4D professionals.
This project will equip mid-career and young professionals in the field of agricultural research and development with the essential competencies, knowledge, attitude and skills to contribute to and facilitate rural innovation processes through a combination of theory and learning-by-doing.
Throughout implementation the project will ensure the participation of all stakeholders, including university lecturers, postgraduate students, university administrators, private sector, agricultural extension, civil society and farmers organizations. This involvement will allow them to articulate their demands and will empower them to take part in decision making.
Project activities consist of:
- Enhancing partnerships for effective networking and institutional change management.
- Assessing stakeholder demands and expertise for the innovation systems approach.
- Developing and running a graduate course on innovation systems.
- Establishing and implementing a part-time mid-career professional training course on the facilitation of agricultural innovation processes.
- Strengthening the innovation capacity of university graduates for AR4D.
- Conducting action research into innovation dynamics.
- Building cross-disciplinary networks of expertise on the role of agricultural research in facilitating rural innovation.
- Sharing lessons learned on the mid-career professional training course and innovation curricula.
- Developing communication products.
The mid-career training course for agricultural professionals is composed of four intensive training blocks of 2-4 weeks, followed by a period of 1-2 months in which participants work on their case studies. The participants are expected to facilitate a multi-stakeholder innovation process.
Students attending the graduate course will follow four weeks of training using case studies from the mid-career training course. The course will however have to fit within the respective curricula of the participating universities.

text: I have suddenly found myself very interested in the fmk 3 and parts kits are plentiful. the recoil spring isnt behind the bolt so this would make a hammer or striker setup alot easier. BUT theres not many detailed pictures on the web. If anyone here has a parts kit I would really apreciate some close up pics of the bolt from several angles and some pics of the lower receiver from a top view and also how does the barrel nut attatch? is the receiver threaded at the front?

I believe everything happens for a reason—and my life experience is no exception. When I look into the eyes of families at the Ronald McDonald House, I can see that they are physically and emotionally drained. I don't have all the answers and I can't take away their pain. But I can look beyond the tubes and wires, see through the bruises and scars, and understand where they are coming from. I can offer them hope.
I've been in these families' shoes. I was a sick child. Diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of seven, I understand what it means to have your world—and that of your entire family—turned upside down. We came to understand that one sick family member means the entire family is sick. Each person suffers in a different way while coping with the stress of a sick child and trying to maintain some kind of normal life.
I realized a long time ago that I had a story to tell. When you're young and very ill, it's sometimes hard to see the light of the end of a very dark tunnel. That's why I decided to use my experiences to help others, to show them that anything is possible. In 2009, I published my memoir, Everything's Okay. It has been my goal to provide courage and inspiration to those who are going through what my family suffered, whether it's a child battling a disease or parents trying to understand what is happening inside their child's body.
My foundation has gifted more than 2,000 books to hospitals and organizations all around the country, and 100 percent of the profits from book sales are donated to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where I fought and won my own battle against cancer. Additionally, my husband and I have donated close to $1 million to pediatric AIDS and cancer research over the last 30 years. In an effort to reach an even wider audience, I partnered with Round Table Companies to turn my story into a comic book, which will be released in September to coincide with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
I spent my entire youth fighting to survive, and I made a conscious decision not to remain a victim of my disease. Sometimes I look at my childhood as a dream; it doesn't seem as if it was really me who went through the diagnosis and treatments, the fear and fighting. Writing this book as an adult has allowed me to reflect on the fact that these experiences are clearly why I am who I am today. Everything does happen for a reason, and I am thankful for the opportunity to help families fight the hard times and find hope for the future.
Alesia Shute is the author of Everything's Okay. The comic book version will be released in September. You can find out more about Alesia and The Alesia Shute Foundation at www.everythingsokaybook.com, www.Facebook.com/AlesiaShuteEverythingsOkay, or www.Twitter.com/EverythingsOkay.

A Strong Men program is being set up for the Stuttgart area. Anna Hollis, Arkansas County extension agent for family and consumer sciences, said a start date and meeting site has yet to be decided.
"Strong Men is part of the national Strong Women and Men Program that is sponsored by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service," Hollis said. "This moderate intensity, progressive exercise program includes strength training and balance training and is designed to improve muscle strength, dynamic balance, bone density, energy and flexibility."
The strength training is known to improve strength, flexibility and balance; reduce risks of fall; maintain independence; manage weight; and increase energy while decreasing pain. Hollis said the program's exercise has also been found to reduce arthritis symptoms. Volunteer program leaders from Stuttgart would be trained by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service to implement and lead the program.
The program has participants meeting at least twice a week with sessions lasting about an hour, including warm-up, eight to 10 strengthening exercises and cool-down. Equipment would include dumbbells and ankle weights.
To join, there is a $12 per person fee. "This program is based upon the results of strength training studies in older adults conducted by scientists at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston," Hollis said.
She added, "Scientists and exercise physiologists at Tufts University have designed this exercise program especially for older adults, but it is beneficial for individuals from midlife (30s) on up."
"Anyone in the aforementioned age range is welcome to join," she said. For more information, call Hollis at (870) 673-2346, (870) 946-3231 or email email@example.com.

Perhaps no sports commentator has done more to fight cancer than ESPN commentator Dick Vitale. So things hit a little close to home when Vitale learned his own co-worker Stuart Scott, 45, is now fighting cancer for the second time.
"Well you know obviously, Stu is so young," Vitale said. "Your heart breaks. Stuart is a passionate guy about life, a passionate guy about what he does at ESPN."
He added, "At ESPN, obviously you know about [former co-worker] Robin Roberts who went through the battle and she's done a phenomenal job in trying to build an awareness to cancer and so has Stuart. So your heart bleeds for anybody…it's such a vicious disease. It affects all."
Dick Vitale,71, has been a passionate fundraiser for cancer research teaming with the V Foundation for his annual Dick Vitale Gala in Sarasota, FL.Since 2006, the Vitale Gala has raised $3.65 million for The V Foundation, which has been used in funding research at Florida cancer facilities. He aims to raise no less than $1 million at his event each year.
The Dick Vitale Gala will take place May 20 at the Ritz Carlton.
"Whether you're rich or poor, black or white, it can bring you to your knees," Dick Vitale said. "And the only way we'll ever, ever beat that disease is by giving doctors a fighting chance by raising dollars."

This afternoon I had some time to play around in the kitchen and was in the mood for snacking. Here is a recipe remake that is sure to keep your tastebuds happy! I have always had a weakness for creamy dips and spreads at parties and barbecues so I decided to make one that I could feel good about eating. Typically this vegetable dip package calls for mayonaise and sour cream, but I used plain greek non-fat yogurt, which is only 60 calories in 1/2 cup and double the protein of regular yogurt! Plus, greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt, so the texture stays very close to regular spinach dip. I have been enjoying this dip with special k multi-grain crackers or celery sticks, but torn french or Hawaiian bread is another crowd pleaser.
Spinach Dip
- 1 pkg knorr vegetable dip mix
- 3 cups non fat greek yogurt, plain (I prefer Greek Gods)
- 1 can water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 1 pkg frozen spinach, thawed, all excess water squeezed out
Place all ingredients in mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Hershey's is following in their footsteps from last year and are releasing new flavors of Kisses for the fall. The big newbie last year were the Candy Corn Kisses, which were an exclusive limited edition release for Target. For those of you who were fans of those Kisses will be happy to know they're back with a wider release this year and brought new friends with them this time: Caramel Apple Kisses and Pumpkin Spice Kisses.
I searched high and low for these new flavors, and unfortunately have had success in finding the former. The hunt for the Pumpkin Spice continues, I will not rest until I find them.
The Caramel Apple Kisses are beautiful to observe. The packaging is attractive with nice rich festive colors and nice illustrations. The Kisses are wrapped in even more eye-catching fall-colored wrappers with brilliant red and orange stripes. I look at these and am immediately reminded as to why I love fall so much.
Opening the bag with great anticipation, the kisses smell perfectly normal: sweet and chocolatey.
I took one of the Kisses to cut one in half for a photo. This proved dangerous as the center wanted to ooze everywhere. The caramel center is almost liquid, I was very surprised by. I don't recall the regular Caramel Kisses being so flowing.
The flavor is first the sweet Hershey's chocolate along with the creamy caramel flavors with nice burnt sugar notes. After that is when the apple taste comes in. It's very artificial with a floral essence and strong juicy notes that have a slight tang to it. It reminds me of what candied apples taste like in a way: fruity, but something is a little off from the coating. They really remind me of those radioactive green Caramel Apple Pops that Charms makes. Despite the flavor oddness from the apple, the Kisses work somehow for me. They taste like fall.
As a side note, not everyone I shared these with agreed with me. As I fed some to one of my sisters and she scrunched her nose up at them.
Rating: Might Eat Again

I see a lot of threads on this board talking about how no one plays pokemon or plays the right way. This is the farthest thing from the truth infact. There are thousands of players across the world that play this game competetive and many more that just like to play. Across the U.S. for example are a series of tournaments that you can find in just about any state that have many people traveling for just to try and win the prizes. These tournaments are all free up to Nationals, and then at the end of the year your rating points that you get for playing will earn you a chance to compete at the world championships which are usually in either Hawaii, California, or Florida.
I myself have been playing the TCG since I was 11, and now I am 18. There are so many great people in the game to meet and it is what has kept me in the game so long. I also am considered one of the top players in the mid west with 3 state championships, and a regional title under my belt along with many smaller tournament wins like cities and battle roads. I also have competed at the world championships twice, once in 2006 and once in 2007.
But here is the coolest part of it all. If you do well at these tournaments you can win amazing prize awards to go along with the fun you have and cool people you meet. If you want to learn more go check out the website, learn about local leagues and tournaments, and get started!
www.Pokemon.com is a good place to get started looking for these things, and once you get more into the game you can learn about what cards are being played and what you can expect at these tournaments. To do that I would suggest this website
Thanks for reading, I hope you guys can get involved in this game and love it as much as I do.

French Atlantic Coast Travel guide
French Atlantic Coast : Michelin's recommendations
The French Atlantic Coast, the westernmost point on the European continent, stretches from Hendaye in the Basque Country to Le Conquet in Brittany. In addition to these two regions, the Atlantic Coast includes Aquitaine, Vendée and Charentes. Fishing and maritime trade here fostered the development of great ports, such as Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Les Sables-d'Olonne, Saint-Nazaire, Nantes and Brest. In the 19C sailors from these ports went off to fish the cod around Newfoundland and some of them settled there, in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon and Acadia.
Contrary to the Côte d'Azur and Costa Brava, the diverse beaches and landscapes on the French Atlantic Coast have been well-preserved and maintained. And while the Basque Country contains few sandy beaches, it has powerful waves that have attracted surfers from around the world, especially to Biarritz!
The coast of Aquitaine is another paradise for surfers, the best spots being at Lacanau-Océan, Hossegor and Capbreton. Pines in the Landes forest, the largest in Europe, line its sandy beaches for miles, but beware of the currents! The Pilat Dune in Arcachon, the highest in Europe, is a genuine natural monument boasting a gorgeous panorama of the ocean and forest from the top.
