Summer has arrived, and your child may spend more time outdoors while in child care. You will want to make sure your child care provider has proper safety measures in place in their daily routine. As a parent, you are entitled to express concerns regarding your child's safety to your provider, and your provider should make safety the highest priority. Talk with you provider about:
Regardless of your child's age, sun protection is always important. Make certain your child will be protected from the sun while enjoying the outdoors.
Along with all of the fun that accompanies summer come those pesky little bugs. Bugs of all kinds. Talk with your provider to make sure she understands your wishes regarding the application of insect repellent. DEET is considered to be very effective in repelling ticks and mosquitoes. Keep in mind there are differing levels of DEET, available in a variety of products. Higher levels of DEET are suggested for infants (older than 2 months) and young children. Be aware of the products your provider intends to use, and, if necessary, pack your own repellent in your "summer" bag. The same clothing used for sun protection can also be used for bug protection.
You should be comfortable knowing that your child care provider can appropriately handle any "bug emergency" – from removing a stinger to tending to a fly bite. It is important that you advise your provider of any allergic reactions your child might have if bitten by a mosquito or stung by a bee. These bug emergencies may require medical attention such as administering an antihistamine, topical cream, or, if severe enough, an injectable medication such as an EpiPen or Ana-Kit. For children, these can typically be administered with the help of an adult. But do not take this for granted. You need to be aware of your state requirements allowing providers to administer medication. These regulations will determine whether or not your provider will be able to assist your child in the event of an allergic reaction. While allergies and risk of reaction might be seasonal, regulations allowing a provider to administer medication typically do not change as frequently. Keep this in mind when selecting a child care provider.
Children, from toddlers to school-age are, are always excited to get outside and play. To help make this playtime enjoyable, you will want to make sure the equipment your child is playing on is safe. Each state has regulations regarding outdoor play areas, but you should always look for of the following:
It's important to note that these recommendations are only a few of the many indicators of quality in child care. You may want to rate your child care program on our 38 Indicators of Quality on our free parent network site http://ratingtool.ccaparentnetwork.org/ (you will need to register to use the tool) for a more complete look at safety and quality in your child's program.
Each state has its own regulations for operating a child care program. These regulations include health and safety guidelines. Check with your state licensing agency to learn more about the regulations in your area (http://www.childcareaware.org/en/parent_information/licensing/). Your child care provider should also be familiar with these regulations. As long as you and your child care provider have good communication, there's no reason your child can't enjoy the summer...safely.

Radiology & Medical Imaging
Advanced imaging is often the key to diagnosing a health problem and beginning a successful healing process. From mammography screenings and general x-rays to CT, MRI, and PET-CT, we provide a full spectrum of leading-edge diagnostic imaging services and interventional procedures.
Imaging Services
Recommended annual mammograms for women over 40 can show changes in the breast up to two years before a patient or her physician can feel them, and early detection is our most powerful tool in the battle against breast cancer.
Bone Densitometry scanning measures bone loss, and is helpful in determining whether diet supplements, medication, or other therapies will be needed to prevent osteoporosis and lower the risk of injury as people, especially women, age.
An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is a series of x-rays taken at timed intervals after injection of a dye solution. This exam helps your physician assess abnormalities in the urinary tract, to judge how efficiently your system processes waste, and to aid in understanding symptoms like blood in the urine or pain in the side or lower back.
Lower GI tract radiography is an x-ray examination of the lower portions of your alimentary canal. The procedure assists doctors in understanding symptoms like:
|• Chronic diarrhea
|• Blood in stools
|• Constipation
|• Irritable bowel syndrome
|• A change in bowel habits
|• Abdominal pain
|• Unexplained weight loss
|• Suspected blood loss
A CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a noninvasive medical test that uses special x-ray equipment to produce images of the soft tissues of the body that do not show clearly on a traditional x-ray. CT scanning is commonly used to diagnose problems such as cancers, cardiovascular disease, infectious disease, trauma, and musculoskeletal disorders.
Angiography is a minimally invasive technology that may use several methods to produce images of major blood vessels, or blood flow, throughout the body. They are typically ordered to detect abnormalities like aneurysms or atherosclerosis in the head, chest, and kidneys, or to detect other pathologies of the circulatory system.
A PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography) detects minute amounts of a radio-isotope injected into your body, and highlights areas with increased or diminished metabolism. A PET/CT scan is typically used to diagnose and track cancer, and to assess some cardiovascular and neurological diseases.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is a painless, non-invasive diagnostic test that allows radiologists to see areas of the body invisible to conventional x-rays. Since our physicians can detect so many conditions at their earliest, most treatable stages; improvements in MRI technology have led to great strides in successful medical treatment.
MR Angiography uses a combination of non-invasive and minimally-invasive technologies to view blood vessels. They are typically required to diagnose a variety of disorders related to impediments to healthy blood flow throughout the body.
Please call (412) 777-6257 for any questions or information you may need about the Medical Imaging Department at Ohio Valley Hospital.

Shakespeare, Italian Style
The Trinity University theatre program, with Italian Theatre Troupe Teatro del Drago produced an adaptation of The Tempest with puppets and shadow work.
Trinity University theatre students perfrom in the original production of "La Tempesta," using puppets and shadows.
Alyx Gonzales, a sophomore from San Antonio, glided across the Stieren Theater stage in gentle figure-eights, moving much like the spirit she was playing. As she went back and forth, she held a large puppet above her head that seemed to be floating with her across the stage. Gonzales was portraying Ariel in La Tempesta, an original adaptation of William Shakespeare's play the Tempest. Although the words were from Shakespeare, the staging included dramatic traditions from Italy - puppetry and shadow theatre - to give this production a cross-cultural flavor.
La Tempesta, which ran for two weeks in November, was adapted by Roberto Prestigiacomo, associate professor of human communication and theatre, and staged in collaboration with Teatro del Drago, an Italian family-run theatre company composed of Andrew Monticelli, Mauro Monticelli, and Roberta Colombo. The Italian troupe came to Trinity as guests of the Stieren Arts Enrichment Series.
Prestigiacomo first met the Italian theatre company 15 years ago and was captivated by their work and tradition. Teatro del Drago, from Ravenna Italy, was started in 1820 by Ariodante Monticelli and has been staging productions using puppets and marionettes for five generations.
Since that first meeting, Prestigiacomo and Teatro del Drago wanted to work on a project together but did not find the right time until this year. With support from the Stieren Arts Enrichment Series, made possible by Jane and the late Arthur Stieren of San Antonio, the Italian theatre company was able to take up residence in Trinity's human communication and theatre department. This would be first theatrical production by Teatro del Drago in the United States.
Producing La Tempesta
For the show, the student actors used large puppets to help convey the dramatic action of the story. Most of the students held the puppets in front of them while they recited their lines and moved the puppets to accentuate the dialogue.
In the background, three large cloth curtains fell to the stage floor and during the show, scenes from La Tempesta, such as the image of a ship caught on a stormy sea, were created using lights, shadows, and props.
Earlier this year, while Prestigiacomo was working on the script, Teatro del Drago began creating original puppets to be used in the production. The torsos of the puppets were made in Italy and sent to Trinity where they were completed and dressed by Trinity costume designer Jodi Karjala.
The show had to overcome a few production challenges. The electrical equipment Teatro del Drago normally used for staging had to be left in Italy since the wiring was not compatible with American outlets.
And the members of Teatro del Drago spoke little English and would have to rely on Prestigiacomo to translate their instructions.
"On the positive side, we found big energy from not only the students, but also from the staff and other faculty," said Colombo, about the production.
"In any art form, it is always wonderful to have some challenges and to find solutions, that's what we do when we work," said Mauro Monticelli.
Monticelli added that he saw great growth in the students from the time they first met in the first week of October, until a few days before the start of the show, not just in terms of what they were learning but in the way the ensemble was working together.
A unique and positive experience for the students
The students starring in La Tempesta were delighted to be part of a production that had roots in traditional Italian theatre.
"I am taking a lot out of this," said Gonzales. "I am learning so much and adding it to my theater training. It's so unique and so elaborate -everything that we are doing. I am really grateful for this experience."
Amy Rossini, a first-year student from Dallas, said she was excited and felt very lucky to be a part of the show. "At first, I was intimidated. It was unlike anything I have been a part of," said Rossini, who added that the members of Teatro del Drago soon put her at ease. Still, "whenever they said anything, it sounded intense because it was in Italian," said Rossini, laughing.
Senior Evan Brooks also found the work rewarding. As the assistant director, Brooks was in charge of producing the shadow work used in the show. "It's something we haven't done at Trinity before. It brings an element to the stage that is so unique and so powerful. It's such a striking visual image that is so unique and so powerful," he said.
Brooks said working with Teatro del Drago was one more great opportunity he has experienced while a theatre major at Trinity. He previously worked with director Alan Muraoka, who appeared as an actor on Broadway and on many television shows, including a recurring role on "Sesame Street." Brooks also worked with Carl Weber, a world-renowned director who had worked with the legendary German director Bertolt Brecht.
"I can't imagine any other institution being able to bring guest artists like the ones who have come to Trinity," said Brooks. "These fantastic artists are really masters of their craft."
A hope for more collaborations
Prestigiacomo said he and Teatro del Drago hope this will not be the only time the Italian theatre company and Trinity work together. In fact, they would like to restage La Tempesta again, the next time in Italy.

Consider the power series ring in noncommutative associative formal variables $X, Y$ over the field $\mathbb C$. Let $P$ be a power series. Define the exponential $e^P$ and logarithm $\log (1+P)$ using the usual series expansions. The exponential maps from a neighborhood of $0$ to a neighborhood of $1$ and the logarithm goes the other way.
Let $P$ be such a power series with zero constant term. How to show that the logarithm and exponential maps defined above are inverses of each other?

Tell Nursing Homes to Stop Stealing Seniors' Rights - Sign the Petition Today!
How Are Your Rights Threatened?
The "tort reform" movement shields corporations from accountability by eliminating access to the court for consumers, workers and patients. Leading the charge are five shadowy front groups founded and backed by some of the largest multinational corporations.
The 7th Amendment is your right to a trial by jury. It allows you to access the civil justice system and hold corporations accountable when they injure and kill innocent Americans, pollute our environment and endanger our children.
Hidden in the fine print of many consumer contracts - from credit cards and cell phone contracts to nursing home care and employment contracts - are dangerous forced arbitration clauses.
Nearly 80 percent of all prescriptions in the U.S. are filled with the generic version of a drug.

Corey Griffin, the 27-year-old philanthropist who helped popularize the ice bucket challenge, died in a diving accident on Aug. 16 just hours after raising more money for the fight against ALS, according to media reports.
The Boston Globe says that Griffin spent Friday night at a fundraiser for ALS, a cause he had championed since his friend Pete Frates, 29, was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease. After the event, Griffin took a plunge into the Nantucket Harbor off the top of a two-story building known as a popular diving spot for locals. Griffin came to the surface once, but resubmerged into the water. An off-duty lifeguard made several rescue dives and eventually recovered Griffin, but paramedics were unable to resuscitate him and he was pronounced dead at 3 a.m.
Griffin's death comes just as his efforts to raise money and awareness about ALS -- also known as Lou Gehrig's disease -- are paying huge returns due to the viral success of the ice bucket challenge. Countless celebrities, athletes and musicians have joined millions of others in accepting the challenge to pour ice-cold water on themselves and/ or donate money to charity.
The ALS Association says they've received $31.5 million in donations between July 29 and Aug. 20, compared to just $1.9 during the same period in 2013. The event Griffin attended prior to his death reportedly raised another $100,000 for research into ALS, which currently has no cure.
To honor the memory of Corey Griffin by donating money to the ALS Association, head over to their website, ALSA.org.

With the continuously increasing competition among businesses, and the shift of people from buying at stores to online shopping, there is really a good reason for small businesses to increase their online presence so that they can still get a share of customers. And this can be done by getting into local SEO.
LOCAL SEO or local search engine optimization involves using and optimizing local map listings in order that people will find your company and get the right directions to go to it. Moreover, it also includes submitting information to the local directory and organic SEO to make the company appear at the top of search pages of Google.
It has been revealed in studies that about 90 percent of people who desire to make purchases search online. So you have to capitalize on this to gain a good share of customers.
Here are Some Important Reasons Why your Company Should Start Getting into LOCAL SEO.
1. Greater Presence
Using and relying on traditional SEO and PPC alone will make your company lose out on real estate since real estate has increasingly been added to local results in Google. If you want greater presence for your company, use local SEO to get well-placed rankings in Google search results pages.
2. Authenticity
With more people fearing fake and unscrupulous people and groups using the internet to strip people off their money, they now deem the local SEO as a more reliable source of authentic information. People are particularly viewing local listings on Google+ and Facebook pages as more authentic as these include maps, address verification, customer reviews, images, and videos that come along with a business page. Remember that trust is still a very important asset that you can have to win your customers and keep them coming back.
3. Mobile
The Yellow Pages is already out and the smartphone has taken its place. And with people gaining access to this device, searches are already moved to mobile. So if you use traditional SEO, you may lose the playing field. People who are always on the go and are always traveling rely much of the time on their smartphone for directions and updates.
4. Conversion
There is higher conversion for local searches than there is for its national counterpart. This is because geographic proximity is given much importance by customers as they click through those which are closer to their location.
5. Easy
For companies that are not yet very familiar with local SEO, then, be assured that it is easy. You simply have to start by claiming, verifying, and then building up your company's presence in sites like Bing, Google+, and Yahoo. You should also make use of Facebook as it is a site whose users are already discussing and promoting businesses that they support. So grab this opportunity.
By employing SEO strategies, you are bringing customers to your website to buy your goods and services.
If you are not familiar with this strategy, then engage the services of Premium SEO Solutions, the leading provider of search engine optimisation services in Australia. It will help your company gain online presence as it uses proven and ethical local SEO strategies that are tested first hand in our site.

A lot of great new music comes out at a rapid-fire basis these days, from the biggest artists, to the smallest.
When it came down to it, these were the songs that kept the best company of the last 12 months.
As always thanks to Camilo for the artwork. You can stream the songs themselves, or listen to one giant spotify stream right here.

Miami Dolphins should stick with Chad Henne, Mel Kiper says
Should the Miami Dolphins take a quarterback such as Arkansas' Ryan Mallett at No. 15 overall in the upcoming NFL Draft?
No way, says ESPN draftnik Mel Kiper Jr., citing the need for patience with Chad Henne.
"I think that's high," Kiper said on a national conference call. "I just think you have to decide on Henne."
Cue groans in Dolfan Land.
"I would not take a quarterback that high," Kiper said. "I was not a huge Henne guy coming out of Michigan. Wildly inconsistent at Michigan, wildly inconsistent at Miami. But the kid deserves more of a chance. He's a great kid. He's tough, got a powerful arm. He needs to work on his accuracy, particularly down the field, which I thought there were times when he improved.
"Intermediate range, at times he's a little erratic there. But the bottom line is they thought he hung in the pocket better this year. They definitely liked some of the things they saw. Again, inconsistent though."
Kiper again mentioned Alabama RB Mark Ingram and Florida G/C Mike Pouncey as the Dolphins' leading options at No. 15. With their next pick, currently 79th overall, the Dolphins might need to go for speed.
"You're not going to move forward with Ryan Mallett," he said. "You're getting him for the future. I think if you're Miami, you try to build around Henne a little bit. I mean, help him out. Get a Mark Ingram in there. You're restructuring your running back position. Bring him into the mix. …
"Instead of taking Mallett , you take Ingram, you take Pouncey. You help out Chad Henne. Get the center, get the guard, not another quarterback who's got issues there. There's intangible concerns with Mallett. There's issues with lack of mobility, the long stride that he has in the pocket, where you've got to really protect him well and their offensive line right now, interior-wise, is questionable I wouldn't go Mallett there [at 15]."
In Round 3, at 79th overall, Kiper said the Dolphins "want an explosive receiver," mentioning Edmund Gates of Abilene Christian.
There's also a spotlight on second-year OLB Koa Misi despite his second-round status last year.
"Misi's got to step up and be a better pass rusher," Kiper said.
A bit of early round competition might make that happen, some have suggested.
Kiper has Mallett going early in the second round.
"He's not a mid-one," Kiper said.

According to Tuesday's publication of News OK, a state representative's effort to make shooting a pet a legal form of euthanasia, has been shot down.
Repubican State Rep. Steve Martin, who introduced the bill, lobbied to allow pet owners to shoot their pet if they wanted to "dispose" of it.
On Tuesday, by a margin of 8-4, the House Judiciary Committee rejected HB 2613.
Martin had argued for the bill, stating:
"People have animals that, for one reason or another, they're either sick or old or for some reason not suitable to go to a new home, and it is as painless to euthanize an animal with a firearm, if it's done humanely, as any other method."
The bill would have allowed owners to kill their pet without first seeking other alternatives; it stated:
D. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as requiring the owner of an animal, or a person having the effective consent of the owner, to seek a new owner, caregiver or animal shelter for the animal prior to humanely destroying said animal pursuant to subsection B of this section.
Martin's bill also sought to reduce penalties for some animal cruelty crimes.
Much to the relief of animal welfare advocates, Martin's proposed bill has failed.

Article IV. Post-Hearing Procedures; Miscellaneous Provisions
Rule 39: Termination of Parental Rights.
(a) Petition. A petition to terminate the parental rights of either or both parents to a minor child may be filed by: the prospective adoptive parent(s) of the child, including extended family members caring for related children; any licensed child-placing agency having custody of the child; the child's guardian ad litem; a court appointed special advocate (CASA) agency; or the Department of Children's Services. The petition shall state:
(1) The child's birth name;
(2) The child's age or date of birth;
(3) The child's current residence address or county of residence or that the child is in the custody of the department or a licensed child-placing agency;
(4) Any other facts that allege the basis for termination of parental rights and that bring the child and parties within the jurisdiction of the court;
(5) A verified statement that:
(A) the putative father registry maintained by the department has been consulted within ten (10) working days of the filing of the petition and shall state whether there exists any claim on the registry to the paternity of the child who is the subject of the termination or adoption petition;
(B) indicates if there exists any other claim or potential claim to the paternity of the child; and
(C) describes whether any other parental or guardianship rights have been terminated by surrender, parental consent, or otherwise, and whether any other such rights must be terminated before the child can be made available for adoption.
(6) The petition or request for termination in the adoption petition shall have the effect of forever severing all of the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of the parent(s) or guardian(s) to the child who is the subject of the order, and of the child to those parent(s) or guardian(s);
(7) The child will be placed in the guardianship of other person, persons or public or private agencies who, or that, as the case may be, shall have the right to adopt the child, or to place the child for adoption and to consent to the child's adoption; and
(8) The parent or guardian shall have no further right to notice of proceedings for the adoption of the child by other persons and that the parent or guardian shall have no right to object to the child's adoption or thereafter, at any time, to have any relationship, legal or otherwise, with the child.
(9) In addition to meeting the foregoing requirements, the petition shall contain the following notice: "Any appeal of the trial court's final disposition of the petition for termination of parental rights will be governed by Rule 8A, Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure, which imposes special time limitations for the filing of a transcript or statement of the evidence, the completion and transmission of the record on appeal, and the filing of briefs in the appellate court, as well as other special provisions for expediting the appeal. All parties must review Rule 8A, Tenn. R. App. P., for information concerning the special provisions that apply to any appeal of this case."
(b) Service of Process and Notice of Proceedings.
(1) Upon the filing of the petition, the court shall cause the necessary parties as provided in T.C.A. § 36-1-117 to be summoned in accordance with the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure.
(2) Prior to terminating the rights of any parent who is incarcerated it must be affirmatively shown to the court that the incarcerated parent or guardian received notice of the following:
(A) The time and place of the hearing to terminate parental rights;
(B) That the hearing will determine whether the rights of the incarcerated parent or guardian should be terminated;
(C) That the incarcerated parent or guardian has the right to participate in the hearing and contest the allegation that the rights of the incarcerated parent or guardian should be terminated, and, at the discretion of the court, such participation may be achieved through personal appearance, teleconference, telecommunication or other means deemed by the court to be appropriate under the circumstances; and
(D) That if the incarcerated parent or guardian wishes to participate in the hearing and contest the allegation, such parent or guardian:
(i) If indigent, will be provided with a court appointed attorney to assist the parent or guardian in contesting the allegation, and
(ii) Shall have the right to perpetuate such person's testimony or that of any witness by means of depositions or interrogatories as provided by the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure.
(E) If the incarcerated parent or guardian voluntarily signs a waiver or if said person takes no action after receiving notice of such rights, the court may proceed with the termination proceedings without the presence of the incarcerated parent or guardian.
(c) Response of Respondent. Any respondent may personally appear or file a written answer to the petition. A written response shall admit or deny the allegations of the petition and shall set forth the name and address of the answering respondent or his or her attorney.
(d) Guardian Ad Litem. Appointment of a guardian ad litem for the child shall be governed by T.C.A. § 37-1-149.
(e) Adjudicatory Hearing on Termination.
(1) The court shall conduct an adjudicatory hearing to determine the issues raised by the petition and by any answer(s) filed. Notice of the hearing shall be provided in the summons.
(2) At the beginning of the hearing, any party who appears without an attorney shall be informed of the right to an attorney, and in the case of an indigent respondent an attorney shall be appointed pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 13, unless waived by the party. Any such waiver shall be reflected in the record pursuant to Rule 30 of these rules.
(3) The court may, as it deems necessary, order the child to be examined by a psychiatrist, a licensed clinical psychologist, a physician, or any other appropriate person or agency. If a parent's ability to care for the child is at issue, the court may order a similar examination of the parent.
(4) The court may for good cause shown continue or take the case under advisement for such time as is required for receiving additional evidence, reports or assessments, or any other necessary information.
(5) All findings of fact shall be based on clear and convincing evidence. Neither the husband-wife, physician-patient, psychologist-patient, or clergy-penitent privilege shall be grounds for excluding any evidence in termination of parental rights proceedings.
(f) Disposition.
(1) If the court finds that any one or more of the grounds authorizing termination of parental rights exist and that the best interests of the child require the termination of such rights pursuant to the statute, the court shall enter an order that makes specific findings of fact and conclusions of law within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the hearing.
(2) Should the court conclude that there are no grounds for termination of parental rights, or that the best interests of the child require that such rights should not be terminated, the court shall dismiss the petition and set forth in the order the facts and conclusions upon which the dismissal is based.
(3) A juvenile court order terminating parental rights shall award complete custody, control, and guardianship of the child to the Department of Children's Services or a licensed child-placing agency with the right to place the child for adoption and to consent to the adoption in loco parentis.
(4) When an appeal is taken from the trial court's disposition, the court in its discretion may stay its order or otherwise suspend relief or grant whatever additional or modified relief is deemed appropriate during the pendency of the appeal and upon such terms as it deems proper. The trial court's decision regarding a stay, or other such relief granted pursuant to this subparagraph, may be reviewed by the appellate court pursuant to Rule 7, Tenn. R. App. P.
Advisory Commission Comments [2007].
The amendment corresponds the rule with the applicable code, T.C.A. § 36-1-113, which was substantially revised in 1996.Back to Top

what about Mehmet Okur? I think he's a FA this year and he was supposedly a high priority to be signed by Det.. but with Rasheed's arrival, if he doesnt leave Mehmet prolly would.. he's looked pretty good at times.. whaddaya guys think? even tho I know isiah dislikes european players..
yea the turks lookin nice, he can shoot (3s), board, play inside
and best hes a 2 or 3 year player
i dont no if hes agressive enough to play center, but he is big enough
hes def not tall enufto be a center, and hes not really athletic, i dont seem him fitting in with sweetney on the rise
THAT WOULD BE COOL HAVING HIM........Originally Posted by pyotrveliky
theyre both turkish. okur is 7'0 tho
The thing about getting Okur is I think that is our best chance because They dont have much money to spend so I think it is all going to Sheed. Or if sheed chooses to come here. Either way the pistons only have money to keep one of them
yea hopefully well manage 2 get 1 of them. wallace is more athletic tho and plays inside better. o well

Sunday, two of the more storied World Cup countries on the globe will dispute the final of the 2014 tournament in Rio de Janeiro's famed Maracana stadium, and Brazil will not be one of them. Germany the 1954, 1974 and 1990 Champions will meet the 1978 and 1986 champions Argentina.
The teams have met in back-to-back finals with Argentina beating Germany 3-2 in Mexico in 1986 and Germany returning the favor, winning 1-0 in 1990 in Italy. If Argentina wins, they will be the second neighbor from the River Plate region that has won the cup in Brazil. If Germany wins, they will be the first European team to win in the Americas.
This is the 20th World Cup and South Americans have won nine of them (Brazil 5, Uruguay and Argentina 2 each) while Europeans have won ten (Italy 4, Germany 3, Spain, England, France 1 each). So, either the continental score will even out again or the Europeans will take a two cup advantage in the classic global competition.
By many indicators Argentina has the best defensive team in the cup (allowing just 3 goals) while Germany, after its semifinals explosion, is the highest scoring team (scoring 17 goals). In terms of playing, Germany has won all of its games convincingly except for one draw, while Argentina has won all of its games by a one-goal margin, save its semifinal 0-0 draw followed by a win via a penalty shootout. Argentina has never fallen behind in a match this cup, Germany has always pulled ahead in all of its games.
Argentina is playing with a once-in-a-generation superstar who is vying to become one of the greatest players of all time. Germany is playing with a once-in-a-generation super-team that might dominate the sport for years to come given the youth of so many of their players. Lionel Messi will lay claim to a place in the Pantheon of the sport with a win. With a win, Germany will have four trophies and will position itself to contest the mantle of most cup wins with co-four-time champion Italy and five-time champion Brazil.
On paper the match seems to pitch the best all-around team in the tournament against the one who is peaking at the right time and whose ace in the hole, Lionel Messi, has been the change maker in most of its games. The Argentines played later than the Germans and had to play extra time and shoot penalties, so they will be the less fresh team. Germany not only did not play the added time, but from about the 30th minute of their semifinals win they were basically on cruise control.
The question is will the fresh and dominant Germans impose themselves on the strong and peaking Argentines or will Messi magic turn all other logic aside and rule the day? Most pundits and fans around the globe believe it will be a close match with the Europeans pulling out a one-goal victory. I will say that the match will only be close if Argentina wins as they will concede at least one goal, but they will only win with a huge dose of Messi magic. But if Germany wins it will be a convincing win that includes Thomas Muller becoming the top scorer.
My guess is Germany 3, Argentina 1, with the deciding two goals scored in the second half, in another classic World Cup final.

PASADENA, Calif. — Monday night was the last dance for the Bowl Championship Series, which ended a 16-year run of deciding national championships with Florida State's 34-31 win over Auburn at the Rose Bowl.
A four-team playoff system will begin in the 2014 season, with semifinal games in the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl Jan. 1, 2015, followed by a championship game in Arlington, Texas, on Jan. 12.
BCS director Bill Hancock, in his annual State of the BCS chat Monday morning, said no issues have popped up regarding the future of the College Football Playoff. And he reiterated that the importance of the regular season is being preserved.
"Please remember the success of the new system has to be built on regular-season games,'' said Hancock. "But our goal right now is to be full-bore toward a playoff."
The new format, which will have semifinal games at six rotating bowl sites — Pasadena, Arlington, Atlanta, Miami, Glendale, Ariz., and New Orleans — will create new controversies.
Had the CFP been in place this season, an argument over the No. 4 spot between Stanford, Michigan State, and Baylor no doubt would have caused a stir. A 13-member selection committee will handle such issues.
But Monday was the time to acknowledge the end of an era.
Hancock acknowledged the critics of the BCS, but said overall criticism should be muted.
"You can't deny the growth of the game that started when the BCS came along,'' said Hancock. "The creation of the BCS was one of the best things that ever happened to college football.''
A big one
How big was this title game for the Atlantic Coast Conference?
Consider that the conference never had produced two BCS teams in the same season until 2011, when Virginia Tech played in the Sugar Bowl and Clemson played in the Orange Bowl. Both the Hokies and Tigers lost that season.
Florida State's win Monday night, coupled with Clemson's 40-35 win over Ohio State in the Orange Bowl Friday night, let the ACC pull off a 2-0 sweep.
The FSU victory also snapped a remarkable run of seven years in which the BCS title was won by an SEC team.
Honor for Winston
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston highlighted the freshman All-America team that was released by the Football Writers Association of America. Joining the Heisman Trophy winner on offense were Pittsburgh receiver Tyler Boyd, Arkansas running back Alex Collins, and his Razorbacks teammate, tight end Hunter Henry. The defense featured Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa, UCLA linebacker Myles Jack, and Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Auburn was represented by offensive lineman Alex Kozan . . . Gus Malzahn, who went 12-1 in his first regular season at Auburn (the team was 3-9 last season), was named the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year . . . Jimbo Fisher never has lost a bowl game as coach of the Seminoles (4-0) . . . Florida State entered leading the country in red-zone offense and scoring defense . . . Auburn led the nation in rushing at 335.7 yards per game.Material from the Associated Press was used in this report.

Another fun thing was throwing a Christmas party for the kids. Summer be damned!
Tried to teach the girl child to ride her bike. To no avail. The horn and the bell definitely work, though. I assure you.
Then this, and shockingly, nothing bad happened.
|It is hot out there, people!
|By applying actual tea bags to my arm, sickos. And no, it didn't work any better than the time i tried to catch flies with an actual bowl of honey. Cliches are big fat lies.
My lovely mother took both my kids for an afternoon and Mackenzie for a sleepover. I wasted the first hour of no kids hanging out at my mom's house with my kids, but then I came to my senses and went home to refuse housework and productivity, and instead eat ice-cream on the couch and watch season three of Arrested Development. It was awesome.
Bedtime rolled around and it was time for my mom to return my son, because he ruined the chances of future sleepovers for himself last time by sleeping across my mother's head and causing her "the worst night's sleep she had ever had in her life." I totally feel her pain because he has caused the worst two years' sleep of my life.
irrational fear of owls for Jack, which he complained about the whole way home, by relentlessly repeating "Ow-woos scare me," and pointing at every passing car screaming "HE NOT AN OW-WOO!" It didn't make sense to me either, but the face he makes when he says owl is hilarious, and so for the past two days I have been harassing him to say it.
ME: Hey, Jack, do you like owls?
JACK: No. Ow-woos scare me.
ME: They do? How come?
JACK: Ow-woos say "HOOOOOO HOOOOO." (Makes perfect O with his mouth and is adorable.)
ME: Thats scary?
JACK: Yes. Ow-woos hurt my penis.*
That is when I realized that my son had removed his diaper and had a sudden change of focus. And also when I stopped trying to get him to say owl.
|But I still think its funny.
Also this week I decided its time to go back on Weight Watchers. Because nothing says "inspiration" like wearing your mother's fat clothes after she loses a bunch of weight.
|Bite it, Owl.
*He also mentioned that a crab hurt his thumb, and that it was swimming in the toilet. For what its worth.

Many people wonder about who exactly is behind the wheel of the vehicle next to them because you never quite know who it is. One person you'd never expect to be driving the car next to you is a three-year-old child, but that's what recently happened. Fox News reported on Monday, July 28, 2014, that a toddler got behind the wheel of a jeep, crashed it into an Oregon home, and then ran home to watch cartoons.
Well, what else are you supposed to do after an accident?
The Associated Press reported that the three-year-old child, who did not have his name released due to the fact that he is a minor, was wearing only a diaper at the time of the accident.
Police state that the child climbed up into a jeep early last week and was able to somehow knock the gear shift out of park. Witnesses in the area watched it roll straight down the street, safely through an intersection, and then hit a home.
After police arrived on the scene, they were able to trace back to the home where the boy lived and found him sitting on a couch. He was just sitting there watching cartoons on television and had no real idea that anything had even happened.
The toddler's parents weren't home, but 22-year-old Brennan Pennington was at the home and supposed to be watching him. Amy Mayberry, owner of the jeep and the child's aunt, said the boy got into the jeep while Pennington was in the bathroom.
Nobody was injured during the situation, but about a half hour before the jeep hit the home, another officer had noticed the boy in the jeep by himself. The toddler told the officer that his parents weren't home, but another relative (Pennington) was asleep in the house.
Police cited Pennington for failing to supervise a child.

No interest in watching the big game on Super Bowl Sunday? The Marriott Theatre invites you to see the Tony Award-winning musical My Fair Lady at 1 p.m. or 5 p.m. on February 7 instead. Customers who wear football paraphernalia to this performance from their favorite NFL team can receive two free tickets to the Chicagoland premiere of The Drowsy Chaperone (at the Marriott Theatre from April 28 through May 16.) Please stop by the Box Office window at least 30 minutes prior to the performance to pick up your certificate for two free tickets (which are limited and one per order) and show us your NFL garb.
The acclaimed production of My Fair Lady, directed by Dominic Missimi (Les Miserables), runs through February 14, 2010. The place is London, the time 1912. Professor Henry Higgins has made a bet that Eliza Doolittle, a common cockney flower girl, can be passed off as royalty. But as Higgins succeeds in transforming her from urchin to lady, Eliza realizes she may not need his help after all, and Higgins may need her more than he thinks. My Fair Lady features a beautiful, soaring score including "I Could Have Danced All Night," "On the Street Where You Live," and "The Rain in Spain."
My Fair Lady is based upon George Bernard Shaw's 1913 play Pygmalion, with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Lowe (Brigadoon, Gigi, Camelot, The Little Prince). The musical's 1956 Broadway production, starring Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews, was a smash hit, setting a new record for the longest run of any musical in history. It was called "An irresistible hit" by Variety and "One of the best musicals of the century," by The New York Times. The show won six Tony Awards including Best Musical.
My Fair Lady was adapted into an acclaimed 1964 film directed by George Cukor and starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison. The film won three Golden Globe Awards and eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Original Music Score.

Six Flags Magic Mountain polluting river, coalition alleges
The environmental groups say the Valencia theme park is spewing contaminated water and trash with its logos into the Santa Clara River and then the ocean. Park says it wants to improve storm water process.
Tony Barboza
Los Angeles Times
Environmental groups are accusing Six Flags Magic Mountain of polluting the Santa Clara River with huge volumes of contaminated water and allowing trash with its logos to spill into the Southern California waterway and toward the ocean.
The allegations were made in a letter sent to the Valencia theme park last week by a coalition of environmental groups, whose investigators say they found alarming levels of pollutants in water sloshing out of the facility's storm water outfalls into the nearby waterway during rainstorms.
Santa Monica Baykeeper, Wishtoyo Foundation and Friends of the Santa Clara River contend the popular Southern California theme park has for years been fouling one of the region's largest river systems, putting wildlife and swimmers at risk through "frequent and high volume discharges [that] carry bacteria, metals, toxins, sediments and other pollutants into the Santa Clara River, its Estuary, and the Pacific Ocean."
The groups intend to sue Magic Mountain for violating water pollution laws in 60 days if it does not significantly reduce pollution getting into the waterway, which flows 45 miles downstream from the park before emptying into the sea between Ventura and Oxnard, according to the letter.
In a statement, Six Flags Magic Mountain said it had not had a chance to review the letter but "is concerned about the environment and feels a responsibility to improve the storm water process" as it strives to meet stringent requirements of the law.
"In the last six years," the statement said, "the Park has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to not only lower the amount of storm water discharge but to improve the quality of the storm water discharged."
The theme park came under scrutiny last year after a tip from a park employee who expressed concern that Magic Mountain's practice of washing down its midways, bathrooms and restaurants at the end of the day was washing pollutants into the river, the environmental groups said. Community members also complained about pollution and trash in the waterway.
The groups took water samples of runoff flowing from the amusement park's two storm water channels and a pipe leading from the facility. Three rounds of tests revealed excessive levels of copper, zinc, aluminum, iron, lead, and titanium and also showed the presence of mercury, oil and grease, bacteria and other effluent, the groups said. They say the park's storm water monitoring reports show similar pollution dating back to at least 2007.
"Our investigation revealed that their discharges were polluting the Santa Clara River much more severely than we could have imagined," said Jason Weiner, staff attorney for the Wishtoyo Foundation's Ventura Coastkeeper Program.
On visits to the site the groups alleged that they also discovered and photographed a large amount of Six Flags-labeled trash around its discharge channels and downstream, including plastic drink bottles, wristbands and midway prizes such as rubber sports balls.
"The sheer quantity of trash, there's no other way to put it: It was just disgusting," Weiner said.
Though it is unclear where in the 260-acre theme park the pollution could be coming from, the letter ticked off a list of possibilities — runoff from the park's irrigation system, its parking lots or its backstage equipment areas; the water used to wash its midway, or even overflow from its lakes, ponds or the Hurricane Harbor waterpark.
And some of the particulate metals detected in the water, the groups contend, could be coming from the park's roller coasters and thrill rides as they grind along their tracks.
The coalition's letter, a precursor to a lawsuit under the federal Clean Water Act, seeks civil penalties of $37,500 for each day of each violation. But the preferred solution, the groups said, would be for the park to do something about the runoff before it leaves the site.
Under a permit from the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, Magic Mountain is allowed to discharge millions of gallons of storm water on rainy days provided it does not exceed pollution limits.
But the park has a history of violations.

Lead: Out of the 14th century has emerged one of the notable voices articulating an early vision of full participation in the social and political life for women--the proto-feminist, Christine de Pizan.
Intro: A Moment In Time with Dan Roberts.
Content: Medieval author Christine de Pizan is considered by many to be the first feminist voice. She lived at a time when women had limited legal rights and were considered the property of a father or husband. Born in Venice, Italy in 1364, Christine was the daughter of Tomasso de Pizzano, a well-respected physician and astrologer. When she was five years old her father accepted a position as court astrologer and secretary to King Charles V of France. Growing up at the French Court, with her father's approval and encouragement, the bright and studious Christine received an excellent education in literature, history, religion and classical languages.
In 1380 when the girl was about fifteen years old, she was married to Etienne de Castel, the royal secretary to the king. Etienne, ten years Christine's senior, encouraged her intellectual pursuits, a position considered unusually liberal for that era. Shortly after the marriage, Charles V died, leaving his twelve-year-old son Charles VI as heir. Both Christine's father and husband, as trusted officers of Charles V, saw their duties retracted and they served in greatly diminished roles in the factional washout following the accession of the young king. Their fortunes and prestige, however, were greatly reduced.
By her own accounts, Christine's marriage was an exceptionally happy one but, unfortunately, it did not last very long. By 1389, when she was twenty-five years old, Christine was a widow, her husband having died suddenly in an epidemic. Christine was left with three young children, as well as a widowed mother and niece to support, and a disputed inheritance. That did not stop Christine de Pizan.

text: Ok, fan games are great for those who want to do it...but if Lucasarts doesn't want to release the official game (that was almost completed), they can always sell it to a different developer who will. I'd rather see that happen than play a fan game. No offense, but I think trying to get the real game republished would be much more worth the time. Steve Purcell could take things into his own hands if he could get the rights to finish the game. I realize Lucasarts would never give up property, but if other developers were interested they might be inclined to just do it themselves.
