Please supply the correct answer.
1. Right ventricular outflow obstruction. Typically multi-level: small, malformed pulmonic valve, hypoplastic proximal pulmonary artery, and muscular narrowing below the valve.
2. Ventricular septal defect. With significant obstruction in the right ventricular outflow tract, blood will shunt from right to left, bypassing the lungs and leading to cyanosis.
3. Right ventricular hypertrophy (thickened muscle wall) secondary to higher pressure load on this chamber.
4. The aorta "overrides" the VSD.
5. Muscular right ventricular outflow obstruction has been cut away as part of the repair.
6. Patch closure of the VSD.
7. Right ventricular outflow patch to address all levels of obstruction.

With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
While California Department of Fish and Wildlife is still analyzing the fall Chinook salmon run in the Shasta River, the numbers to date—a historic 29,489 Chinook—show that partnerships between agriculture and conservation to save salmon are making a difference.
Agricultural landowners, agencies and conservation groups have been working for years to improve fish habitat, and recent efforts like providing more water to help the return of adult fall Chinook make a difference when the weather is hot and river flows are low.
"The additional water flows provided by the agricultural community directly benefited close to 60 percent of the total run of 2012 fall Chinook in the Shasta River," said Amy Campbell, project associate, The Nature Conservancy.
Early Efforts
For more than 20 years landowners, the Shasta Valley Resource Conservation District (SVRCD), Natural Resources Conservation Service, CA Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, CalTrout and other groups have been working to improve fish habitat in the Shasta River. Even before the listing of coho salmon as threatened in 2004, there was fencing to keep cows out of the streams, screening of water diversions to keep fish out of fields and ditches, and trees planted on newly protected riparian areas to stabilize stream banks and create shade—all things that help salmon thrive.
As time progressed, the low-hanging fruit was picked, and restoration projects got more advanced. Old flashboard irrigation diversion dams were removed and replaced with fish-friendly diversions that allow for fish passage all year long. The SVRCD has an ongoing program to work with landowners on irrigation management and to reduce excess irrigation water from returning to the river.
"Working with the agricultural community to identify solutions that not only make them whole but protect, improve or enhance instream habitat is one goal," said Adriane Garyalde, district administrator, Shasta Valley RCD.
In addition, groups such as The Nature Conservancy have worked with these partners to enhance salmon habitat and, more specifically, have purchased two ranches in the late 2000s to demonstrate how working cattle ranches can support and enhance healthy salmon habitat.
Work Pays Off
2008 and 2009 saw a notable increase in fall Chinook spawners returning to the Shasta River. Since then restoration efforts have continued, and the river is showing additional improvements from the ongoing efforts.
In 2012, early estimates of returns for fall Chinook looked to be close to breaking records in the Klamath River watershed and additionally for the Shasta River, an important salmon tributary to the Klamath. In response to these record numbers of returning adults, state and federal agencies, landowners, irrigation districts, conservation groups and others met to make sure these fish, upon arrival to the Shasta River in September and during the irrigation season, would have the water they needed to remain healthy.
"Salmon have enjoyed good ocean conditions, little disease and reduced fishing pressure, all adding up to a great return of spawners," said Wade Sinnen, CA Department of Fish and Wildlife. "These conditions, combined with 20 years of on-the-ground habitat work, meant a lot of fish were returning to the Shasta River to spawn."
Landowners and the irrigation districts volunteered to provide water for the needed flows. "We are proud we helped add water to the river for the fall Chinook run," said Rick Lemos, board member of the Shasta River Water Association. "Industry isn't often seen as a key contributor to protecting our natural resources, but we felt strongly about doing our part."
The largest irrigation district in the Shasta River watershed, Montague Water Conservation District, also voluntarily agreed to continue releasing water after downstream water quotas were met. "As the owner of the only significant water storage facility in the Shasta River watershed, our facilities are one of the few resources available to aid in flow releases during instances like this fall's extended heat wave and record return run of fall Chinook salmon," said Stan Sears, district president, Montague Water Conservation District. "Among other actions, we've provided flows during the spring and fall for many years. We are pleased to see the benefits of our efforts and will continue to be proactive."
"We're happy to have been part of the concerted effort to aid this year's fall Chinook salmon run on the Shasta River," said Paul Willis, president of the Grenada Irrigation District. "As a junior water user, we are the first to be shut down if the river flows diminish. In the past several years, we have been proactive and have monitored the river ourselves and have ceased pumping, at times, when doing so would negatively impact river flow."
"The key point in all of this is that the agricultural community is doing what it reasonably and feasibly can, but even that effort requires a complex combination of favorable natural conditions for a successful outcome. With so much of the outcome left to chance, cooperation and incentive are the only ways to optimize success," said Ric Costales, specialist, Siskiyou County Natural Resources.

Nick was the biggest jerk at school. He constantly had to change schools and whenever he did, he had to find somebody to become his mortal enemy. At this school, he chose Corey, the school's star quarterback. Unlike his earlier targets, Nick hated Corey on a more personal level. Corey got everything he wanted, just because he was the quarterback. Nick had to get everything by force, not because people liked him. Nick wanted to hurt Corey the most effective way possible.
One day, Nick was at home watching TV thinking of ways to hurt Corey without getting into a fight with one of the biggest guys at school. Suddenly, a commercial came on advertising a new local shop called Heavenly Gifts that claimed to have items of magical properties. Nick didn't believe this, but he figured it was worth a look. He drove there and found it filled with strange objects. Eventually, the shop owner, a middle-aged woman, came up to him.
"I can sense you want something out of an other.", the lady rambled.
"Yeah, I guess so...", Nick said hesitant and sure this woman was crazy.
"Let me show this.", she said, bringing out a bracelet with hearts on it. "This allows you to control the very reality around a single person. Everything you say about him or her will become true. Just get that person to simply hold onto the bracelet. Only you yourself will remember how life was before, unless you let someone else.", the woman explained.
Nick was definitely skeptical, but he did like the idea to change Corey into whatever person he wanted. "How much?", he asked albeit a little reluctant.
"Eight dollars.", the woman answered simply. Nick thought eight dollars was worth the risk of possibly making Corey's life better while simultaneously making his better. Needless to say, he paid and went home. He couldn't sleep that night. All the possibilities he could incur on Corey and no one would notice! Come to think of it, just torturing Corey for his own amusement would be petty if it was just for his amusement. He could control reality! He could make Corey into something that could generally make his life better. Like a girlfriend...
Nick followed Corey to his house until Corey went inside. He had to somehow sneak the bracelet onto Corey, but he had to stay hidden long enough for this to work. Nick knocked on the door and waited. However, instead of Corey coming out, it was his ten years old brother, Dave. This struck Nick with surprise at first, but he saw this as another way of getting the bracelet on Corey.
"What do want, sir? Are you one of Corey's friends?", the little boy asked.
"Yes,", Nick answered with a devilish smile. "And I need you to bring this friendship bracelet to him.", he said handing the kid the bracelet.
"Okay. It looks a little girley but if it's for my brother...", Dave started leaving. As he was leaving, Nick had a brilliant idea. One that make his life better and destroy Corey.
"Corey's brother is right in front of me.", Nick said. Suddenly, Dave appeared right in front of him without any look of surprise.
"You know, I forgot why I came by you.", he said forgetfully.
"I was going to walk you to your house."
"I know, but this is my house."
"Hmmm... Tell me who are your parents?"
"Martin and Lisa Dennis. Why?"
"Because you're wrong. Your parents are Katsumi and Hiroshi Sato. Y'all live right across my house." Suddenly, the bracelet shined at Dave started changing. His entire DNA and history was changing before Nick's eyes. His skin became more yellowish and his eyes gained Epicanthic folds, officially making him Asian, Japanese-Korean to be exact as per his new parents. His hair then started to turn from blonde to brown. The rest of his body twinged ever so slightly to accomodate his new genetics. Dave Dennis had never existed, rather Hiro Sato had. He blinked in momentary confusion, but it rubbed off.
"Right. How did I forget my own parents?", Hiro wondered with a slight Asian accent.
"I dunno. But we better get going. The guy who lives here, Corey Dennis, thinks you're his brother Dave. For some reason.", Nick said knowingly.
"Why would he think that?"
"I dunno, maybe he's just crazy."
Delighted about how good the bracelet worked Nick continued with his plan.
"I don't know what's wrong with me,", Hiro wondered. "But I can't remember why you have to bring me over to my place. I know where I live."
"I know, but I can't keep myself from helping a girl like you." That's when the changes setted in. Hiro's hips flared out a little, whereas at the same time his belly retracted a little. His hair grew, until it reached a little below his shoulders and his skin became soft and smooth. The boy's arms and legs grew a little more slender and he shrank by two inches. With a small gasp she signaled the departure of her manhood, while at the same time two small A-cup breasts slightly pushed out her top. Her school uniform changed slightly to accomodate her new form. Hiro almost had time to react before reality rippled again. There was never a Dave Dennis nor a Hiro Sato. There had only been Asami Sato.
"That's awfully kind of you, mister.", Asami thanked. "Wish I was old enough to be your girlfriend."
"I don't see why you say that. You are eighteen, afterall." At once Asami began to age. Her hair grew even longer, until it reached her hips. Her breasts grew to large C-cups and her butt and hips widened greatly. Her fingernails even became manicured and her face was styled in make-up. Sadly her clothes didn't grow with her and started ripping, because of course they were much too small now. Nick frowned.
"Can't have that
" he grinned "At least not yet and not here. Asami, I must admit those are some sexy clothes you're wearing." Her clothing instantly changed into exactly what Nick wanted to see. Her school uniform shirt turned into a tight, revealing t-shirt of Nick's favorite football team. Her ripped skirt transformed into a tight pair of khaki skinny jeans with a belt around them. Asami was a little more dazed about this change, but she easily shaked it off.
"Why thank you, sir.," she said flirtacously. Asami blushed as she saw how much her clothes showed. However, she knew that it was her own fault. "I should be more careful about the clothes I pick to go outside
By the way, I don't think I ever caught your name."
Nick grinned. "Don't remember your own boyfriend, Asami? Or are you playing games with me?" Asami felt a little dizzy, but that soon faded and she flashed a warm smile at Nick. It didn't take much as that little comment reminded her of all the glorious times they'd had together over their 11-month relationship.
"You got me on that one.", she teased. "You know I couldn't forget you on our one-year anniversary. What were we going to do again?"
"I'll tell you when we get to your house."

Two things. I'd definitely take Asami as a girlfriend. Also, I find it ironic the school jerk gets hold of it. I haven't seen that happen before.
Also, she's a good looker.
And when I mean deal, I mean the eight dollars for the bracelet.
I'm actually jealous of Nick (I'm so lonely)
I take that deal in a heart beat! And I'm not kidding
sould like a great beining would love to read more
Another spartan?
Cool story
Cool story
It's good! I hope you post the scone one on her too.
Really great work from the both of you.
Awesme, can't wait for part 2
I like it.
well done!

"I am twenty one years old, was born and reared on a farm in Canton County, went through high school, left home at sixteen and was married before I was eighteen. I had an older brother who also left home young and when my sister married mother sold the farm and moved near town.
"During vacation and after school hours I worked on the farm of one of the neighbors. He was a truck farmer. He raised cabbage, tomatoes, celery and peppers. All day long, from six to six, I'd set plants. I tell you I dreamed of them dad-blamed plants every night. Ten cents an hour was what he paid me. I walked two miles every day to his place and carried my own lunch. He said I was the best hand he ever had to work. I done a man's work every day. My sister lived in Cannonville and wanted me to come down here and get me a job in the mill. When I finished school I come.
"I tell you," he said, "I've had the dickens of a time since these babies came. It takes everything I make to pay bills.
"A good worker don't stay on the scrubbing gang long. It's a kind of a try-out to see what you can do. I stayed on there three months and was transferred to number six. The mill at that time had forty acres of floor, now it's much larger, each part is numbered. You step out of number one and go to number two and so on. Number six and number seven is where they weave. I cleaned looms in number six and swept the floor. It took such a short time to sweep, I had plenty spare time to learn how to weave. I took
Blanch, J.C's wife, was busy in the kitchen. Coming to the door she said, "J.C., how do you want that chicken fixed?
"Fried, of course."
"I mean, do you want gravy?"
"I sure do, the longest you've ever made. Sara Dee and me is about starved." Blanch laughed, "You always say you are starved and then never eat much."
"My first pay check on the weaving job was forty six dollars. I felt like a millionaire. I'd stayed with my sister for a while. Her health got bad; she'd gone to a hospital and I'd moved to a boarding house. There's quite a difference in boarding houses and private homes. At my sister's I was one of the family. The food was splendid and served well. At the boarding house you knew exactly what you were going to have each meal. I eat eggs and
"It's because you take her with you everywhere you go," said Blanch from the kitchen.
"I intend to be a companion to my daughters. I want them to feel they can have a good time with their daddy.
"After I went to weaving I changed boarding places again. It was higher, of course, this time I went to the best place in town. About thirty boys boarded there. The service was fine and the meals good. But I got tired of it in a couple of weeks. The fact is, I missed my home and mother. I worked hard at home, mother did too, she was the backbone of our family; but she was never too tired or busy to sit down and talk things over with me. I could tell her anything and she always understood. A boarding house is all right for a place to eat and sleep, but there's times when you don't want to do either.
"I worked in number six a while; it was closed down and I was transferred to number seven; I been there ever since. I weave towels, sheeting, but that's not all they
"Cannonville is the fastest growing town in the world. It started with one little old mill and now it's about the biggest textile center in the country. It has a population of about twenty five thousand people. The Canton family has a
"The old Y had a swimming pool, barber shop, library, reading rooms, pool table; no betting. A place to box and play basket ball. We have a fine baseball park and a good team. I can't resist going to the ball games. Blanch don't go much since Betty Jean came. But she'll soon be old enough to take. One thing I like about my wife, we both have the same tastes. We can go to a good show and have the best time. We get a woman to keep Betty Jean on account of germs."
"J.C. you say things so funny."
"Isn't that the reason we don't take her to the show?"
"Yes, of course."
"As I said before, all of the old buildings are being replaced by new modern up-to-date buildings. We have a new jail and the Colonial theatre is one of the finest in the south. There's so many people here and only four theaters, it's hard sometimes to see a show you want to. A couple months ago my brother-in-law and me went on Saturday night. We went to the first show. Making the rounds of all four theaters we couldn't get a seat, and came back home to wait for the second show. The last time we went back we got standing room inside the door. My brother-in-law is kinder hotheaded-the usher came around and wanted to close the door; he couldn't we were against it and couldn't move. 'Have you
"You're dern right we have," Jim replied. The second time he came around he said, 'Excuse me, but I must close the door.'"
"You can't close it," Jim replied, "we can't move an inch."
"The third time he said, 'I'm very sorry, but I'll give you your money back as the door has to be closed.' It tickled me, I knew he had orders to close the door.
"Jim got so mad he said, 'Get our money and damn quick too.'
"They're building two new theaters now. When the town was built the sidewalks were narrow. These are being torn up and new ones laid.
"There's seventeen churches here for the white. The negroes have three or maybe more. I belong to the Lutheran, my wife is a Baptist. We don't argue over it and we haven't decided if either one will change. My mother was a Methodist, she joined the Lutheran after marriage so we'd all be in one church. My wife is a christian, that is more important to me than what church she belongs to." J.C slid
I pay fifteen dollars house rent, besides lights and water bill. This house don't belong to the mill. Everything is so filled up I can't get a house in town. I own my own car; my house is furnished throughout. I owe the furniture man fifty dollars, the hospital a hundred. We're living within our income and paying our debts. Groceries are high, clothes and other things about the same as other places. I'm worried about the three lots next to me. I want to buy them and build me a home. I can't do it 'till I get out of debt. I've got all I can carry now, with only a few extra dollars for medicine and recreation- I feel that is a necessity. After working eight hours a day you have to have an outlet. If we have no money to [spend?] for a show or ball game, we take a long drive in the country.
"I carry insurance on myself, enough to take care of my little family, should anything happen. We go to church and pay our dues. I also pay to the Salvation Army, they done lots for our men in the war. I take the daily papers, read them to
"Blanch and I both wanted a boy. The doctor had said no more children for years to come, perhaps never. When Betty Jean came she was such a sweet little mite, neither one of us was disappointed. We just love her the same. I want you to look at my house. I've tried to buy the best things and furnish it so they won't have to be changed in our new home. We're planning a six room brick house with bath. This is only five and no bath. We have plenty room as it is.
"I like chickens. I've got some nice ones in the lot. Once you live on the farm, it never gets out of you."
"The chicken is going to be spoiled for dinner," Blanch said, trailing around after us with Betty Jean in her arms.
"We'll eat wehn the story is finished. I want to be good and hungry.
"It takes longer to pay for good furniture and rugs. Once you get them they last and look good. I don't want my rooms too crowded and I don't want them to look bare. The babies must have a nice soft palce to sit and play. That's
"My new home is going to have a rock garden, a pool, and a flower garden. There's going to be a chicken lot with plenty of fryers. I've not forgotten the vegetable garden. We got to have plenty of fresh vegetables. I don't like stale things bought at the store. My babies and ourselves too have to have the right kind of vitamins. Blanch took home economics in school. She likes to can and have the pantry shelves full. I'm lucky to have such a wife, but no other kind wouldn't have satisfied me. We're going fifty-fifty on this marriage. There's to be no nagging and fussing about every little thing that comes up. We want our children to bring their friends home. We'll make it pleasant so they can have good times." As we surveyed the bedroom with the rose colored hangings, Blanch called from the kitchen, "I won't wait another instant, dinner is served."
"That's orders. When Blanch talks like that I move."
Seated around the white table, Sara in her high bob, with a bib on, touched her lips lightly with her napkin. J.C bowed his head and gave thanks." I'm ashamed of myself,
"They're showing a picture-At Dawn I Die. Sounds horrible," said Blanch.
"Oh no, it's not, I saw a few sketches of it last week." Betty Jean was left with her grandmother while Sara, proud as punch, not on her daddy's lap and tried to drive the car. Blanch, a pretty dark-headed quiet girl looked fondly at her young husband. "J. C. when we get our house, let's have a pink running rose over the car shed door with a yellow heart."
"We will, and I want lilacs at the living room window for the birds to build in."

Esho's Double-Double Powers No. 22/20 UMass To 83-71 Road Win Over Ohio
Dec. 18, 2013
ATHENS, Ohio - Maxie Esho registered his first career double-double with game-highs of 16 points and 10 rebounds to lead No. 22/20 Massachusetts past Ohio, 83-71, at the Convocation Center Wednesday.
Esho continued his strong play of late that has seen the junior post three-consecutive double-figure games for the first time in his career. His 10 boards tied his career high. He is the sixth different player to lead the Minutemen in scoring this season
UMass, which improved to 10-0 for the fourth time in school history, shot a season-best 61.5 percent from the floor and was 9-of-14 from outside. Over the past three games, the Minutemen have shot 56 percent overall and 48 percent on 3-point field goals.
Chaz Williams posted his third double-double of the year with 11 points and 11 assists. Sampson Carter had 14 points, Derrick Gordon finished with 13 and Raphiael Putney had 11.
UMass had runs of 6-0, 7-0 and 8-0 at various points in the first half en route to a 43-34 lead. The Minutemen shot 66 percent
Ohio trimmed the margin to six points four minutes in the second half, but UMass responded with a 9-0 run to stretch the lead to a comfortable 62-47 score with 13:09 to play. It only got below 10 once and was at 19 with 2:28 remaining.
Ohio (7-3) lost for just the fourth time in its last 48 home games. The Bobcats were led by Maurice Ndour who had 16 points, six rebounds , four assists and two blocks. Nick Kellogg had 12 after playing just eight minutes in the first half with a pair of fouls.
UMass will return to play when it travels to Florida to face Florida State (7-3) in the Orange Bowl Basketball Classic on Saturday. The game is set to begin at 2:00 p.m. at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla.

Le Cléac'h Acoustic Horns
Updated June 2010
Azurahorn is best described as a long term audio project. I developed a method of making accurate moulds, without expensive tooling, in order to explore the Le Cléac'h expansion in a variety of different set ups. I now have moulds to make horns for Cone and Compression Drivers in the following flare rates: 160Hz, 204Hz, 340Hz, 425Hz and 550Hz. Plans are provided for 'Push-Pull' horns.
Le Cléac'h horns create natural sounding music, with a deep involving sound stage. There are now many more people out there who can attest to this, and signs are that the Le Cleac'h expansion is gaining ascendancy.
I would like to thank Jean-Michel Le Cléac'h for his beautiful curve, given freely to all – and the brave experimenters who kept me going with their encouragement, orders, and commissions.

There!   That's my part done.   A wee bit of advertising.
My Dahlin' husband Georg, however, Has a Lot More to Do!   Nightly rehearsals followed by 5 performances.   His acting debut.   A planned announcement regarding his retirement from acting.   His farewell speech.   Then, no doubt, maybe months from now, maybe sooner, an announcement that he is coming out of retirement.   All with dramatic flair, of course.
Life with the AckTOOR (not to be confused with a common actor) has been interesting at best.   I have witnessed a transformation.   The highly regarded & respected Sun Microsystems Senior Staff Engineer & business man has shown a new side.   He is learning stage presence.   He is applying dramatic effects and nuances to his speech & movement.   He has picked up "AckTOOR Speak" and concerns himself with "blocking", "technical reviews", notes, set & lighting, and of course getting into character and having a back story for his character.   Georg IS Judge Samuel Savage.   And, maybe because it is a comedy, Georg has been a bit more goofy than usual.
Life is a drama.   And a huge giggle.   That's cool.
Break a leg, Georg!   And have fun!

Jack's Smack: Preseason game tickets are not worth the price you pay
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - It's good to see the NFL is back up and ready to kick off another season. Always great anticipation as teams get ready.
I love football, but I don't like the way the NFL does business with these preseason games.
First of all, they play two games too many. Most fans don't like to ticket packaging and pricing for these practice games.
Owners don't want to lose the revenue, and players don't want to get hurt. They don't collect their full paychecks until the regular season begins.
In the real business world, the smart thing for those in charge is to cater to their customers.
In the NFL, it doesn't work that way.
The team's charge full freight for games that don't count; games where star players don't play long enough to even break a sweat.
Plenty of tickets are available for Thursday night's game against the Bengals at Arrowhead. Prices range from $34 to $240 per ticket. That's crazy!
Thirty-four bucks to sit up in the nose bleed seats to watch a bunch of guys who will be selling cars and life insurance when camp is done.
Oh, by the way, if you're going to the game, make sure you arrive before kickoff. If not, you could miss Jamaal Charles and his two carries for the night.
Variable pricing is the big rip-off in sports these days. When the Patriots come to town for a Monday night game, the cheapest ticket will run you $60. It's really more like $70 after they tack on fees.
If you want a good look at Tom Brady up close, be prepared to shell out $320, for that seat. Make no mistake.
NFL preseason ticket gouging is one of the biggest scams in all of sports.
Enjoy the game, folks.

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees appears to be getting closer to a return after missing all of last weeks practices with a strained oblique.
Brees was dressed out in pants and leg pads and carrying his shoulder pads as he walked down to the artificial turf field on a rainy Tuesday morning at the Greenbrier.
Brees has spent the past few practices in shorts doing conditioning work off to the side. However, he was still limited to conditioning work off to the side.
Cornerback Champ Bailey, who has missed several practices with an undisclosed injury, was also in pads for the first time in two weeks and going through the walkthrough portion of practice.
Bailey has been sporadically attending practice since getting injured, and has limited his participation to the stationary bike when he was there. But Monday, coach Sean Payton indicated that his return could be imminent.
Linebackers David Hawthorne, Kyle Knox, offensive lineman Ty Nsekhe, tight end Je'Ron Hamm, wide receiver Kenny Stills and running back Timothy Flanders were not dressed out.
Center Jonathan Goodwin, who missed Monday's walkthrough, returned to practice Tuesday. Cornerback Patrick Robinson also returned to practice, but not didn't have on shoulder pads.
Erik Lorig, Ty Zimmerman and Victor Butler were not present.
Jahri Evans returned to practice in shorts and did some conditioning work before leaving.

God Sends Angry Bull To Attack 30 Illegal Mexicans
God has now weighed in on the border war, this time as he sent a mighty bull steed to attack 30 potential illegal Mexicans.
For many years now, God has used his beasts of creation to bring wrath to people who sin against him. We need to look no further than Kings for today's backstory to this act of God.
There was a great man of God, named Elisha. His head was afflicted with early baldness. Despite his condition, Elisha remained steadfast in his faith. One day, however, a group of youths attacked and taunted Elisha. Let us now open our scpriture to Kings. When you have it, please stand for the reading of the Word:
II Kings 2:23-25
23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, "Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!" 24 When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number. 25 And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
My friends, God is almighty and powerful. He is truly the master of all creation, so at a whim he can summon animals and have them deliver wrath and the angels can as well.
It is no secret that just like the lads who taunted Elisha with mean words, the Mexicans taunt God by sneaking into our country. America is a chosen land, meant for Americans. If Mexicans were destined to be here God would have blessed them with the means to do so.
Mexicans have as much right as sneaking into America as demons do the kingdom of heaven. The fate for such an offense should be the lowest, hottest reaches of hell for all eternity.
For this reason, as he did with the lads, God sent a great powerful beast to tear up those who blaspheme before him.
In the video below, we have a stadium full of pre-illegals gathered at a savage bull fighting contest. How sick and twisted these people must be to cheer on this bloodsport, where a Mexican matador taunts a bull until it is tired, then stabs the poor, defenseless animal in the back.
That is so cruel and unholy behavior. God blessed this bull with a sound mind and the jumping prowess and grace of 20 gazelles, however, and gave it the ability to tear apart these belligerent Mexicans. God is making a clear sign to us, that he is getting tired of illegal immigrants sullying up our pristine land of Manifest Destiny: America. Let us observe justice:
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

Taxonomic Novelties from North America north of Mexico:
A 20-Year Vascular Plant Diversity Baseline
Ronald L. Hartman and B. E. Nelson
Hartman, R. L. and B. E. Nelson. 1998. Taxonomic novelties from North America north of Mexico: A 20-year vascular plant diversity baseline. Monogr. Syst. Bot. Missouri Botanical Garden 67: 1-59.
A survey of the literature and the Gray Herbarium Card and Kew indices was performed to determine the number of taxa new to science published in North America north of Mexico from 1975 through 1994. A total of 99 families were represented, although 34 contained 1025 taxa (85.9% of the total). Five genera, Apacheria, Cochiseia, Dedeckera, Shoshonea, and Yermo, and one nothogenus, xDryostichum, were based solely on newly described species. New species and terminal infraspecific taxa were distributed as follows: pteridophytes with 78 (6.5%), gymnosperms with 6 (0.5%), and angiosperms with 1113 (93%) for a sum of 1197 (59.85 taxa or 27.9 species per year). During this 20-year period, the five-year averages for the publication of new species were 28, 35.6, 26.2, and 30.8. Comparable averages for subspecies and varieties were 7.8 and 14.8; 7 and 16; 5.8 and 17; 7.2 and 14.8, respectively. The total number of new subspecies proposed as terminal taxa was 139 (30.7%), compared to 313 (69.3%) for varieties. Data on species for the period 1955 through 1974 are also provided (32.1 species per year). With the exception of the years 1971 through 1974, when more new species were proposed, the frequency of taxonomic novelties is relatively constant over the 40-year (30 species per year). A total of 505 authors participated in the publication of the 1197 new taxa, although 11.8 percent of them authored 703 taxa (59% of total). Ninety-one books and journals were involved, although 36 served as the outlet for 1093 novelties. The new taxa were divided among the following categories of study: floristics, 375 taxa; plants of conservation concern, 33; taxonomy, 703; and biosystematics, 86. The states yielding the greatest number of holotypes were: California, 217; Utah, 183; Texas, 70; Nevada, 63; Arizona, 57; Oregon, 42; New Mexico, 41; Florida, 38; Idaho, 33; Wyoming, 32, <Colorado, 29, . . . Washington, 13, Montana, 12; British Columbia, 9, and Alberta, 3 (Rocky Mountain political entities in bold). Likewise, the leading floristic areas, based on holotypes, were Intermountain, 287; California, 217; Rocky Mountain, 131; Southeast, 113; Southwest, 107, Texas, 70, Canada, 62, Northwest, 64, and Northeast 51. It is concluded that the resurgence of biodiversity studies, as well as the efforts of monographers and contributors to regional floristic projects and to Flora of North America (FNA), will help maintain the current level of publication of novelties, but that within the next 10 to 15 years the discovery of previously unknown taxa is likely to decrease.
Stated differently, this is both a reflection of the amount of floristic and taxonomic work being done by state or region as well as the amount of continued investigatioon warranted. A more extensive discussion of floristic surprises in North America and a review of the justification for floristic research may be found in Ertter (2000).

Kevin's Law IntroducedStatement of CSPI Food Safety Director Caroline Smith DeWaal
For Immediate Release:
May 22, 2003
For more information:
Jeff Cronin:
Caroline Smith DeWaal:
Last summer, consumers faced food-poisoning outbreaks and massive meat recalls. This week, they got news of a startling new case of mad cow disease in North America. And industry-driven law suits have weakened USDA's ability to ensure the safety of the meat supply.
Consumers want safer meat and the industry certainly needs help from Congress before the industry's lawyers and lobbyists send it over a cliff.
Kevin's Law contains both good science and good old common sense which are urgently needed to restore consumers' faith in our meat-safety system. This legislation is supported by scientists, consumers and victims of food-borne illness. In fact, the National Academy of Sciences recently called on Congress to "grant the federal agencies clear authority to establish, implement and enforce food safety criteria, including performance standards." With the leadership of this bi-partisan team of legislators, Congress must pass meaningful pathogen reduction legislation this year. Kevin Kowalcyk's family--in fact all American families--deserve no less.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is a nonprofit health-advocacy group based in Washington, D.C., that focuses on nutrition and food safety. CSPI is supported largely by the 900,000 U.S. and Canadian subscribers to its Nutrition Action Healthletter and by foundation grants.

Reviews for Zucchini & Cheese Casserole
"This was really good. I did double the cheese to 2 cups. I also added more butter. The topping was delicious. Also, a great gluten free recipe. I might add and extra egg next time. I will make this again and I am giving the recipe to my neighbor."
"Yummy! I'll make this again when zucchini is in season."
"Very good recipe to use zucchini. The crumb topping makes it appealing and tasty. Plan on making it again soon."
"Great recipe. Everyone loved it and will certainly be making it again."
"I thought this was a great summer idea. I used half zucchini and half yellow squash because it's what I had. Have to cut the sodium way down at our house so I didn't salt, actually used 1/2 t of Mrs. Dash no salt Fiesta Lime seasoning, used swiss cheese ( a lot less sodium) and I used crushed Ritz crackers that are the "hint of salt" kind instead of cereal. Still tasty."

The odds say that one day, the fates won't be in his favor, that on some occasion, against some foe, Wladimir Klitschko's streak of heavyweight title defenses will be broken, and he will once again have the dubious distinction of feeling the sting of loss.
That day did not come on Saturday, in Germany, where the 38-year-old Wlad won his 20th contest in a row, this time over the quite limited challenger, the Samoan-born Aussie Alex Leapai, who went down three times.
Wlad defended his IBF belt for the 16th straight occasion, and prompted the sad eyes of folks who still stubbornly cling to the heavyweight division as boxings' glamour class to latch like a lamprey onto a possible vehicle of re-vivification, Deontay Wilder.
Leapai started out bad, and didn't get any better. Slow of foot and hand, he was a punching bag from the minute he stepped out of his dressing room. The end came in round five. Rights landed on Leapai, and down he went. He rose for more punishment, and Wlad finished him off, at 2:05, no count needed.
Wlad outlanded the loser, 147 to 10. You read that right, ten. Leapai came in the heaviest of his career, basically mailing it in, and enjoying the payday before the check was cashed.
Leapai started out bad, and didn't get any better. Slow of foot and hand, he was a punching bag from the minute he stepped out of his dressing room.The bout was more enjoyable for spectators than Wlad's last outing, which came last September, against Alexander Povetkin. On that night, the Ukrainian-born Klitschko (now 62-3, with 52 KOs) took Alex Povetkin's WBA title, adding that honor to his other pants-holders, from the IBF and WBO. He did so with excessive caution and clinching, but against Leapai, Wlad a bit more so lived up to the Dr. Steelhammer nickname (which nobody really uses anyway, cept for ring announcers.)
Some thought he might have that proverbial punchers' chance, but many of them tossed that "if" out the window when they got a look at his resume. Ten percent of his wins have come over Oscar Talemaira, and Wlad's skills are not at all Oscar-worthy.
In the first, the 34-year-old Leapai, who got this scrap when he pulled a significant upset by beating Dennis Boytsov last November, via UD10, looked to land a massive right. He went down at 1:50, from a couple jabs. Wlad jabbed, and used hooks, and the odd right.
In the second, Wlad used rights early and often. The one-two on the static Leapai looked painful, as did Leapai's mobility, which was ugh. This was a not particularly helpful sparring session, as slow as molasses Leapai didn't pressure Wlad one stitch.
In the third, Leapai tried to pick it up, but then went into a guard, and stood there like a heavy bag. He waved Wlad on, and Wlad complied. The slow jab, hooks to make Leapai go where he wanted him to, were all Wlad needed. The thudding right landed hard and the underdog ate it gamely.
In the fourth, Wlad used the jab, and slid left and right, without much urgency, as Leapai didn't have it in him to bother Wlad, not unless the Ukrainian decided to fight blindfolded. The Samoan leapt in a couple times to try and land a haymaker. but Wlad was too savvy for that.
The fifth round was the last inning for the loser. Three rights to the chin crumpled Leapai, at 1:23. He arose, at the count of six, but his legs were noodle-y. Wlad landed a hook and about six more rights, sent Leapai on his butt, head in between the ropes, and the ref, Eddie Cotton, didn't bother counting. The vacant look in Leapai's eye told the story.
Wlad said after this wasn't an easy win, and that he was thinking so much of his native Ukraine, and the strife there. He gave a shoutout to those that spoke up on behalf of the people who stood up for the Ukraine. He called Leapai "very tough," and wished him well in life.
SPEEDBAG Analyst Teddy Atlas cracked that Wlad works harder during his adulation session after the fight than during the scrap.
---Atlas predicted that Wlad will leave before Father Time gets the better of him.
--Joe Tessitore touted the May 10 heavyweight clash, between Bermane Stiverne and Chris Arreola. ESPN will air that clash, in primetime, from Southern California. Atlas called the fight "an interesting one" and "maybe intriguing."
What a waste of time for everyone involved.
Leapai landed a total of 10 punches in five rounds. To be honest I don't remember seeing him throw ten punches all fight.
Watched it at a restaurant after work. Told the barkeep to put the channel on. He relented . I said "come on man it's a championship fight. It's set up so the champ gets a nice knockout. " After the 2nd round some woman said, " you call this a championship fight? This guy can't even knock out a midget with manboob." I couldn't argue with her and told the crowd to check out the welterweights. They ignored me. I payed my bill in full and left quietly. Never in the history of going there did I pay for everything I ate and drank. I did today. I was kind of ashamed for changing the programming . I can't go there for awhile .
Perspective. This was a mandatory - he was supposed to fight Denis Boytsov, who was expected to beat Leapai - Boytsov was considered by many to be one of the best rounded and most dangerous heavies out there, but he got the s--t beaten out of him by Leapai. Right, THIS GUY who Wlad shut down 100% out boxed and out-punched the guy who was supposed to be Klitschko's toughest available opponent. Doesn't make it fun. But it suggests that, yet again, a Klitschko is always so much better than the opposition that the opposition seems like he got picked from the audience and sent home with a lovely washer-dryer. Amana.
Thanks for the chuckles, guys. Those are funny lines from the lady in the restaurant and from Mortcola. It's too bad Bert Sugar isn't around to give us his post-fight analysis.
I have to give Wlad credit. He fights in the Emanuel Stewart safety/precaution style that he was taught. Stay tall, fight behind the jab, and clinch when your opponent is inside on you. I like watching Wlad because I love the sweetscience. It will take someone with similar physical dimensions (Deontay Wilder or Anthony Joshua) to truly challenge Wlad.
At least Wlad did not keep this guy around for 12 rounds. That said, keeping him around for 5 rounds was not necessary. Leapai clearly did not train as best as he could have and came in just hoping to land one massive shot. And he barely even tried to do that (I think I remember two or three wild swings from him). Those of us that watched this mismatch know he did not land 10 punches as the numbers indicated. Honestly, I can't recall seeing him land one.
Wlad should have got this guy out of there by the second round. There was no risk and no reason why he could not have thrown more strong right hands behind a stronger jab to take care of business early.
TOTAL LOL bro
ANOTHER TOTAL LOL. Amana! --EM
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

It is with heartbreaking sadness that I learned of the passing of Pete Seeger. Seeger, of course, was a larger-than-life icon, whose influence far extended beyond music. People will probably be singing songs of his, like "Turn, Turn, Turn," "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" and "If I Had A Hammer" centuries from now, and take inspiration from the way he lived his life and suffered for standing up for his sometimes unpopular beliefs.
Although I had been aware of Seeger for many years, I didn't get to see him perform until December 2012, at Manhattan's Beacon Theater, as part of a fundraising event to bring awareness to jailed Native American activist Leonard Peltiere. Of course, raising political awareness was a major part of what Seeger was all about.
The following morning, there was a press conference held at The Beacon Hotel, which is where I first had the chance of meeting Seeger, who graciously signed a new acoustic guitar I had bought for the occasion. Even though he was in a rush to leave, he asked if I'd like for him to also draw a caricature of myself on the guitar, which he did, along with his trademark banjo drawing.
Of course, it's something I will always treasure.
From that point on, I became practically obsessed in learning everything I could about Seeger, speaking with admirers of his, like Harry Belafonte, Arlo Guthrie, Judy Collins, Buffy St. Marie, Peter Yarrow, David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, John Sebastian, Tom Paxton and others.. It seemed all I had to do was say "I'm writing about Pete," and all of these great people were happy to take time to share their stories about him.
After being invited by Pete last January to come to one of his monthly Sloop Club pot luck dinner meetings in Beacon, New York, I attended just about every Seeger event I could, the monthly meetings, the big annual Clearwater Festival, the local Corn Fest, Strawberry and Wampum Festivals, Seeger's honorary award presentation night at Beth Israel Hospital, the Hiroshima memorial event at Manhattans' Buddhist Center, benefits such as the one for New York radio station WBAI, and his more recent appearance with Work Of The Weavers in Beacon's Towne Crier Cafe.
During the course of the past year, I also spent hours on the phone with Seeger, hearing about his life, and while the conversation usually strayed far from my original questions, it was always fascinating, just hearing him speak. Most times when we spoke, he would break out into a song at least once, something he loved doing. Even though I've been interviewing famous music people for many years, I would sometimes look at my telephone, in amazement that Pete Seeger was actually singing to just me!
Sadly, my final time of seeing Seeger was at his private wake, Tuesday night. That same evening, local Beacon musician David Bernz, who knew Seeger for most of his life, invited others who also loved him to share their grief in a way that would have pleased him: singing songs. The general consensus was that he would have wanted it that way.
When asked in December 2012 what he would like most to be remembered for, the then-93-year-old told me, "I'd like to be remembered as the sower of seeds. That's the greatest parable in the Bible as far as I'm concerned. Some seeds fall in the pathway and get stomped on and don't grow, but some fall on the ground and multiply a-thousand-fold. So, like most teachers, I'm just a sower of seeds."
Rest in Peace, Pete.

I just caught this article over on the Wall Street Journal --
Memories Slip, but Golf Is Forever.
The article knocked home two things for me:
- Persons suffering from Alzheimer's can do a lot more than most people believe.
- Activities bring happiness and joy to Alzheimer's sufferers.
Silverado and other assisted-living facilities often use activities like dancing or playing music to stimulate their residents. Like golf, such activities have proved helpful in both making people with dementia feel competent and generating periods of lucidity.
The rule for memory among brain specialists is "first in, last out." The things we learn first -- our names, for instance -- are the memories we hold on to the longest. John Daly, director for the geriatric medicine fellowship training program at the University of California at San Diego, said explicit memories -- what you had for breakfast or even the current appearance of a spouse or a child -- are stored in the cerebral cortex. Alzheimer's usually affects this part of the brain first. Skills like swinging a golf club or playing a musical instrument are part of what is referred to as implicit or procedural memory, which is centered in the cerebellum and other areas of the brain. These are often some of the last memories Alzheimer's patients lose.Good article, worth reading, take me to it.

Someone might say: - Wrocław and dwarfs? Uh, this fairy tale.
And little would be a mistake. In the fairy tale dwarf Wroclaw can be found! It is about one foot in height, beard, pointed hat and pointed butki. Beauty relative. Gnomes ukochały the Wroclaw. Looking at us from the doors, basements, windows. Some are so bold that they can be found on the street. And sometimes, you can not even trip! Sprites are very small, busy and difficult to discern, but with a little bit of patience, commitment and our effort will be rewarded. Just carefully follow the path under my feet.
If someone does not believe, and doubt in my words then I invite you for a walk.
We meet in front of the Puppet Theatre, where he waited until he can gather all the brownies carefully study the fountain. She looks after her seven dwarves: actor, gardener, jailer, Aquarius, Wierzbownik, pigeon and Captain.
Once a company nacieszymy fountain dwarfs we move to the west, towards the Opera House (about three minutes.) After reaching the building, turn right (towards the Market Square). We go straight ahead until Świdnicka underpass (5 min). When we leave the other switch on the left we have "fast food" and the right side we Dwarf Orange Alternative. Nice fat man with him, despite the fact that symbolizes the very rich and abundant times.
Once a company nacieszymy fountain dwarfs we move to the west, towards the Opera House (about three minutes.) After reaching the building, turn right (towards the Market Square). We go straight ahead until Świdnicka underpass (5 min). When we leave the other switch on the left we have "fast food" and the right side we Dwarf Orange Alternative. Nice fat man with him, despite the fact that symbolizes the very rich and abundant times.
We continue st. Świdnicka, carefully avoiding the stone balls decorating the sidewalk. Looking out for Syzyfków (Osiłków) occupied, indeed, titanic work. It is thanks to the market after each event bullets always return to their seats. These two small pracusie but consistency and perseverance are also characterized by exceptional patience. Who could withstand continuous kicks, poszturchiwania, pulling his head or a hat - not to mention sitting down and trying to break the limbs. I guess everyone already guessed why dwarves fled from our childhood.)
When I leave the rest of their shiny hats is when we look around you'll see that we stand at the crossroads of Market (left), st. Świdnicka behind us and the street. Oławska (right). Oławska We go out into the street, where just after the first intersection (with st. Szewska) we come across a music lover and musician dwarves. These two go hand in hand, the small sprites arrangements Having anplakt concert and do not intend to finish soon.
And here we got to that, the first exception. Mess head high, and carefully look at the nearby street lanterns. Słupników looking out for dwarves, and there are two types - spoglądzacze and climbers. Due to a slight increase dwarves are always discriminated against. No one, I never took into account their small dimensions, so the little "devil" on the lamp wgramoliły to be able to look at the world from a "larger perspective."
As you turn the other pooglądamy Street. Łaciarską (south) and march on to the end, that is, st. Veit Stoss where you turn left and go straight until you reach the Market. At the intersection of Market Street. Veit Stoss and st. Kuźnicza careful not to trample gnome Smith. Is unhappy because the city began to call him "Kuźnik", and yet every child knows that the working blacksmith forge and not some Kuźnik. Blacksmith produces harnesses for pigeons, which from time immemorial krasnoludkom serve as an indispensable and reliable means of transport.
If we have a fairly taciturn Smith is entering the market and we are moving in the direction of City Hall, but it did not come. Before we turn the building down the street. Sukiennicza. Note to not miss the tunnel to the Municipal Guard, which guards the guardian leprechaun. As a sign of their profession holds in his hand a great bill. Not terrible kotrysy him, szczurosmoki whether wronharpie. His vigilance is indeed legendary, and you can be confident that you will see a lot earlier than you do it:).
After leaving the other tunnel, we go right to the end of the building. Behind the building, turn right again and look for the gnome Dovecote podniebnym steed. Smooth, wide window sills are perfect for landing sites for the flying creatures of various shades and nationalities. Not without reason, Wroclaw is called the "meeting places". Sometimes you can find on the battle beaks, wings and claws where the pen as fog obscures the place of a rwetest argument is that wypłasza visitors from nearby gardens.
If, however, is not happening now is nothing we head to Salt Square where we can spend time among the flowers and dwarfs the lighthouse keepers - the twin brothers from st. Oławska. There are there four, heavily involved in his climbing job. In the square was seen as the "three murzynków" and the gentleman in the cap, and a stick.
Time to go on the last corner of Market, under the church. Elizabeth. Go under the arch connecting the two historic houses Altarystów (Hansel and Gretel) and looking for houses to go down to the underground city of dwarfs. Descent Sleeper dwarf guards. Very duties wearied him, so he fell into the arms of Morpheus while sitting at his post. Morpheus was so excellent host, the Sleeper has not yet awakened. Although many tried to wake him as evidenced by the polished cuff hat. Can you succeed?
Wrocław - map dwarfs (city center):
On the lookout for the next gnome celebrating the towers of the church and go to the nearby street. Shambles. We go through a metal gate in the dark Jatek (street is covered!). Again, note that the feet do not zadeptać dwarf. Looking out the tiny door, which is based on a drunk as "bale" dwarf Butcher. His big ax rather associated with banditry than the widely respected butcher trade. The level of social Dwarf is still in the Bronze Age. Please forgive this slightly sentimental fondness for the tools and home crafts. Unfortunately, the dwarf, was deceitfully abducted by unknown assailants.
At the end of the street we see a monument in the place of the murdered animals. And what? Also they should be. After watching the golden egg we move further towards the street. Prison. As the name indicates the street there was a city prison, and we welcome you with its sole customer - Więziennikiem dwarves. This is the thickest dwarf what I saw. Situation and mine is nieszczególną but what surprised when the world looks from the boxes laden with leg lead bullet. So ends a love of property. Definitely the prettiest and best-made dwarf.
Our way leads on to the end of the street. Prison where you can see the edge of the main building of the University of Wroclaw. That brings us to the building and turn right and go up to the fountain "champion." Behind the fountain, turn left into the tunnel and go to the end. But how?! Not noticed in the tunnel dwarf with an umbrella? Well, this gentleman is no longer there. Someone has it ... stolen.
When you exit the tunnel turn right and go straight until you reach the bridge Sand (left) and the Market Hall. We go to the bridge and the bridge over the river look. Water as the eye could see. Go to the other side of the bridge. We have a view of the Cathedral, but we look at a river. No, no. Not so highly. Please look down on the left side of the shore. On it is working hard dwarf Raccoon. Shoes and placed next to the "airs" of the foot. Although this may be representative of the fair sex as soon as he shows it to care about hygiene? Skrzatowce beauty is not a sin for women to grow beards, so it is difficult to discern the difference. Not surprising, therefore, frequent mistakes in these conditions.
Here I must interrupt the previously peeled "the only right way." Gnomes of Wroclaw is so much in such diverse places that the "only right way" takes on a very individual character and everyone can find their own.
At the junction of St. Anthony and Casimir the Great debuted a new gnome. I do not know why they call it "film fan" because if a bicycle were leaving a film camera, this means that not much respect this field of art. I did not want there to use colloquial expression "smack" in order not to offend the creators and sponsors of this baby. It seems that on the occasion of an event film fan film "smack" tools of the Tenth Muse. Of course, not criticizing anyone here, but honestly and purely malicious, "a prank" with its connotations:). I am glad that this young man won the traditional form, and not as previously outsider'ową plaster. Preceded by a long time I stood there any morons urwali his head, perhaps out of jealousy that it was not empty as their own.
Dwarf Życzliwek settled himself near the fountain, "Spring" in Wroclaw's Market Square. Merry is a gentleman as he smiles from ear to ear and left hand squeezes sunflower. You have to sit next to him a little kindness can infect:) and the world will be nicer.
On the western frontage of the Market Bankuś gnome sat. Collects cash into the bag. Not bad for him because he leaves a bag is pretty dumpy. With him under the bed will be safe as cash in the safe. Not sendeth her out of sight even for a moment. We love your money.
And that's the end of our trip. You can now move calmly to some cozy pubs and regale a nice beer or other beverage. And some may be a squatting dwarf what you and I wish you warmly.

Results tagged ' Tom Glavine '
Tommy-Boy and Big Papi
Two interesting events in the world of baseball that I would quickly like to touch on:
First, is David "Big Papi" Ortiz…
As you very well know, Ortiz is currently mired in a slump so long that many people are starting to call it "reality". As the stats currently sit, he is hitting a paltry .188 with just one long ball and 21 RBIs in a full 191 at-bats. I haven't seen him a whole lot during this horrid stretch, but I guess the word is that he is not catching up to the fastball and, when he does make contact, just pops it up all over the field.
Personally, I hope that Big Papi finds his stroke at some point this season. When hitting well, he is one of the most exciting players in all of baseball. I think the thing that Papi has going for him is that, like me, everyone is rooting for him. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a full season of at-bats even if he continues to stink. There are just too many memories like these… http://mlb.mlb.com/media/player/mp_tpl_3_1.jsp?w=/library/open/moments/bbm_04alcs_gm4_nyybos_350.wmv&vid=7808&pid=gen_video&cid=mlb&v=2 … and many others that allow Ortiz time to turn things around. I'm rooting for him!
On the other hand, there is Tom Glavine…
He was recently released by the Atlanta Braves (the team for which he played for most of his career) after finally seeming to get healthy following his injury from last season. There is much buzz going around that Glavine was given a rough deal, but unlike Ortiz, who is universally liked by his home and national fans, Glavine also has THIS on his record…
For five seasons, Tommy-Boy "jumped shipped" and pitched for the Braves' biggest rivals, the New York Mets. I really don't remember the details of those negotiations, but I do know that Glavine pitched long enough in the Big Apple to identify with fans their as well. He re-joined the Braves last season but wasn't able to stay healthy enough to do any real quality pitching.
Personally, I could care less about what Glavine thinks the Braves "owe" him. As sports fans have learned from the Brett Favre fiasco year after year, until an athlete retires "for good", sports, at their core, are still a business. The Braves didn't want to waste $1 million on Glavine when he could easily just go out and get injured again, and I don't question their decision on that one bit. The same thing happened with the Twins and Harmon Killebrew. Towards the end of his career, Harmon was clearly fading skills-wise and Twins owner Cal Griffeth practically begged him to retire. Harmon refused, and thus the Twins traded him to Kansas City were he limped to the quick end of his career.
Double Homecomings
Tom Glavine back to the Atlanta Braves: After pitching the first 16 years of his career with the Braves, then five years spent with the rival Mets, Tom Glavine was back in a Braves uniform last season. However, his great homecoming story was cut short by an elbow injury that required surgery, after which many thought he would hang 'em up. However, it was announced today that he is coming back to the Braves for one (presumably final) season. Hey, as long as he can still paint that outside corner, he can still win 10 games.
Ken Griffey Jr. back to the Seattle Mariners: After spending his first 11 star-studded seasons in a Mariner uniform, KGJ left for his hometown of Cincinnati for eight years, where injuries plagued his performance to the point where he became a shell of his former greatness. During the mid-1990s, when I was just getting into the Minnesota Twins and baseball in general, my favorite single player was Griffey (sorry Ron Coomer, you just didn't cut it for me…!). I loved the mammoth dingers he would crush and the confident (bordering on cocky, but he could back it up) way he carried himself. Thus, although he'll likely never hit as many as 35 homers in a single season again, it will be fun to see that bat-waggling, uppercut swing back in Seattle (although it will be a little wierd not observing it in the Kingdome!).

More than $16,000 in unclaimed funds were collected at the Medina County Fair this year.
County Treasurer John Burke said it never fails: Every year, fairgoers find their unclaimed funds.
"We can search by just a last name for unclaimed funds and print the form to send to the state," Burke said. "My staff has been trained on the paperwork and expediting the process, so we may get monies refunded as quickly as possible."
Unclaimed funds are deposits and checks that haven't been cashed for five or more years. Forgotten savings, checking accounts, utility deposits, stock dividends and safe deposit contents most commonly are unclaimed.
At the fair this year, 103 claims were discovered. Some people found they had more than one claim.
In the coming months, the treasurer's office will host unclaimed funds displays throughout Medina County in libraries, recreational centers and grocery stores.

I have never installed Netatalk before. I have to help someone get this up and running on a Ubuntu 9.10 server and I don't know if there is any special configuration or install steps I need to follow in Ubuntu 9.10 to get it up and running.
I know in older versions of Ubuntu, specifically, special OS changes and configuration needs to be done in order to get it to work properly. Do I need to work around any of those issues in 9.10?
I am doing this remotely through ssh, so I prefer instruction via command-line. Thanks!

The Workstation/Portrait Video Card is a 2-bit grayscale NuBus video card released in 1988 capable of showing 4 shades of grey simultaneously or 16-shade 4-bit grayscale with an optional VRAM upgrade. Unlike nearly every Apple display product, the Workstation/Portrait Video Card uses a 13w3 video connector instead of the standard db-15 connector used until the use of PC standard VGA connectors.
Its name comes from the unusually tall 640 x 870 pixel resolution, which produces an image to match
a sheet of paper being held in a normal "tall" position. The pairing of the Apple Portrait Display
is needed as no other Apple displays support its resolution.
The card uses the same Apple/Toshiba 344S0077 video controller as used by the Apple High Resolution Display Video Card.
Apparently some versions of this card use a standard db-15 connector, however, I have never
actually seen one.

In theory, New Orleans Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis might have stalked the halls of the team's Metairie headquarters last week as one bummed-out football executive.
The team he did so much to mold had, one year after its greatest triumph in the Super Bowl, lost a wild-card playoff game in chilly Seattle to one of the biggest underdogs in NFL postseason history. Two days later, his alma mater, the University of Oregon, fell just short of winning its first national championship in football.
But when Loomis discussed the Saints' 2010 season and what might be ahead in 2011, he seemed energized and excited about his looming offseason assignments.
"The fact of the matter is 11-5 is a good season," Loomis said. "We made the playoffs. Although we didn't fulfill all of our goals, I wouldn't say it was a failed season by any stretch of the imagination. Eleven and five is a great record in the NFL, and I think our coaches and players did a really good job of dealing with the success we had a year ago and yet turning that around and focusing on the 2010 season.
"But we also felt like, hey, we left some business undone."
That echoed one of Loomis' key preseason themes, namely how would the Saints handle success, given the organization's dearth of experience with such a pleasant outcome. Loomis said he also felt the way the team dealt with injuries, particularly those that felled one running back after another and left the team shorthanded in Seattle, were a sign of maturity and focus within the franchise.
"I think they also did a really good job - our coaches and players - handling the injuries we had," he said. "We had a lot of injuries that impacted our team for extended periods of time, and there was a lot of uncertainty about who might be able to play from week to week - more so than most years. And I think it's a credit to our coaches and players that they were able to handle that. And you didn't hear a lot about it, even though we were all aware of the injuries. You didn't hear any complaining, any lamenting. 'Hey, we're going to go with the guys we've got.'
"And so to win 11 games under those circumstances under what turned out to be a pretty dang tough division, maybe as tough as any - the best certainly in the conference and maybe in the entire NFL. That's a pretty good credit to our guys."
Best of all, in Loomis' view, is "the level of disappointment" permeating Saints headquarters. That is a testament to where the bar is set now, and a sharp contrast to where it used to set year after year after year.
"We don't view it as a terrific year," Loomis said. "We view it as a good year, but like I said, a lot of business left undone, and I think that's a good thing."
Good things have come since Loomis joined the Saints 11 years ago and in the nine years he has been general manager. It's a job that, according to the first sentence in the Saints' media guide, makes him "responsible for the club's entire football operations."
At the moment, though, that job description is a bit opaque, even though the NFL draft, one of the most important annual events on Loomis' calendar, is barely three months away.
The uncertainty stems from the league's pending labor negotiations. The NFL owners and their players are haggling over a new collective bargaining agreement. So for now, Loomis is somewhat circumspect when talking about the Saints' future as the status of more than two dozen Saints remains in limbo.
"They only thing I'll say about that is, look, everybody's got big numbers (of pending free agents) this year as opposed to prior years, and that's just the nature of what happened last year with the CBA and more guys were restricted versus unrestricted," Loomis said.
What is unrestricted is draft preparations, which move forward unabated. Although Loomis declined to share insight on whether the Saints would favor, say, an edge rusher or an offensive player with the franchise's first-round pick, he said the labor uncertainty does not extend to evaluating future rookies.
"I think it's business as usual in terms of the draft all the way up to and including the draft day," he said. "That I do as business as usual."
The usual business is a hectic mix of all-star games, scouting combines and Pro Days at various universities. Loomis attends a handful of them, with the Senior Bowl later this month and LSU's Pro Day inked on his calendar.
"(Director of college scouting) Rick Reiprish and (assistant director) Brian Adams and (scouting coordinator) Jason Mitchell, they're cross-checking schools and writing reports on prospects," Loomis said. "At this point now, they're attending bowl games and all-star games. East-West, Texas vs. the nation, and obviously the Senior Bowl. They're evaluating and interviewing players.
"In our office, we'll be meeting, our scouts and coaches. Then there will be college workouts we send one or more people to - Pro Days. And then the 30 days leading up to the draft, we'll get hunkered down and sort through all the information we've collected."
Loomis gave an incomplete grade to the 2010 draft, noting the outside world often is too quick to draw conclusions on a draft pick's future.
"First of all, it's too early to have a complete evaluation of that," he said. "But, hey, we like what we saw out of Patrick Robinson, we like what we saw out of Jimmy Graham, we like what we saw out of Charles Brown. Al Woods (cut as fourth-round pick) was disappointing; disappointing that we lost him, but that's the way it goes."
Brown is perhaps a good example of the timetable Loomis considers more applicable to a draft pick. After playing in the team's first two games, Brown went inactive for most of 2010 and for the Seattle playoff game.
"Brown? Yeah, I think he's got a good future with us," Loomis replied when asked about the second-round pick from Southern California. "Just because a guy doesn't play year one doesn't mean that, I think we're - fans and the media - too quick to label a guy a bust if he's not playing in year one. And yet we've got great examples on our team of guys who took a while - Jon Stinchcomb, Robert Meachem, Devery Henderson - that took a little while before they got their sea legs under them, if you will, and wound up being good players for us. Jermon Bushrod. Hey, look, it takes a while."
Whether it will take a while for the Saints to return to the Super Bowl is perhaps the last looming question. Here, obviously, Loomis has a clear desire but no crystal ball. What seems undeniable, he said, is that the Saints have the nucleus on the field and the meshed front office off the field to stay in that small group of teams perennially penciled in contention.
"There's a history of that, but I'd have to probably look a little more closely at it before I could say, 'Yeah, I believe that or I don't believe it,'" he said, when asked if he viewed the season after a Super Bowl title as a bump in the road to continued excellence.
"I do think this: The teams that win the Super Bowl, they're obviously good teams. So they're going to be competitive from year to year. So even if you have a down year, you have an expectation they're going to bounce back with a little more resolve. What was encouraging, what is encouraging was the level of disappointment. I think the level of our disappointment, period, from top to bottom, tells me that we're a long ways from where we used to be.
"The expectations and the standards for success are higher now than they've ever been, and I think that's a good thing."

A press release by Manchester Police on Thursday, stated that Dean Janggen, 19, of Medfield, Ma. was arrested following a foot pursuit early Thursday morning.
Police said Janggen is charged with Criminal Mischief, Loitering and Resisting arrest.
The release stated that Officer Neil Penttinen was on patrol in the downtown area at approximately 2:15 a.m. Thursday when he observed a male subject on the fire escape at Lamont, Hanley and Associates, of 1138 Elm Street. Immediately upon seeing the cruiser on Elm Street, the man ran down the fire escape and continued running in the opposite direction of where Officer Penttinen had stopped.
The officer immediately yelled to the fleeing subject, but he failed to comply with the officer's commands and continued to run away from the officer.
Officer Penttinen gave chase and located the subject a second time behind the building and again commanded him to stop. The subject again failed to comply and after a brief foot pursuit, he was apprehended by Officer Mike Caron in the lower parking lot behind 1138 Elm Street.
He was arrested and identified as Dean Janggen.
Further investigation revealed Janggen had been vandalizing the building by spray painting the exterior wall. The graffiti was photographed and will be removed by the City of Manchester Anti-Graffiti Team, which is under the command of the City's Parks and Recreation Division.

THE EAST ASIAN LIBRARY was founded in 1947, but the collection goes back to the deposit of the John Fryer Chinese Library in 1898. At present, the library has over 750,000 volumes of books and serials in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Manchu, Mongolian, and Tibetan. The collection, with an annual expanding rate of 20,000 volumes, ranks second only to Harvard's among American Universities. It is a very comprehensive and well-balanced collection with great strength in the humanities and social sciences. Materials range from full-text electronic databases, books, periodicals, newspapers, maps, scrolls and manuscripts to very early examples of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean woodblock printings and reproductions of inscription from oracle bones dated the second millennium B.C. The Library provides electronic access to information sources in East Asia through such services as Nikkei Telecom and CNKI, a comprehensive and multidisciplinary database system. It supports one of the largest and strongest programs in East Asian studies in the nation.
There are many prominent Chinese Overseas who have made important contributions to American society and to the world through their outstanding achievements as scientists, scholars, educators, artists, political leaders, etc. On display here are a few selected living examples with world-renowned accomplishments.
