FLORENCE, Italy – Every day during the Islanders men's basketball team's overseas tour in Italy, GoIslanders.com will bring you Postcards from Italy – a combination of photos from the day's activities and a brief recap on the events from members of the men's basketball team.
In today's installment, junior Hameed Ali takes some time (on his birthday, no less) to talk about the team's first day in Florence.
We arrived in Florence today after a long bus ride from Varese. We took no time to rest, as we visited the Accademia Museum. All of the artwork was unbelievably gorgeous. The statue of David looked even better in person. Every little detail was noticeable.
My favorite was the marble sculpture of Jesus being carried. It seemed like it was going to come to life. After that we got to visit the church (Santa Maria del Flora), and that was amazing. The artwork here, as well as the buildings, is timeless to say the least.
My experience here in Italy so far has been wonderful, I feel I am truly blessed to be able to come to such a special place. It took a couple days to adjust to the culture, but I am glad I stayed open-minded because this is one that I will never forget, and can never be taken away from me.
Catch everyone later, it's about time to turn up for my birthday. Peace.

December 13, 2005
Three weeks ago a North Augusta gunman shot three and killed one, then took off in a stolen car. There are still no solid leads. But family and friends say the two survivors have already made peace with the gunman.
He put his sermons on hold after being shot in the throat at a North Augusta Huddle House. A cousin of Earl Carter says the reverend is using the violent experience to help others.
"What a miracle the Lord's done for him," said Katie Williamson.
Carter couldn't speak for a few days after the shooting.
Another victim, Constance Davidson, was shot in the back at a Burger King. Victory Baptist Pastor Larry Brown has known Davidson for a decade.
"She didn't allow herself to be overtaken, she sprang back," Brown said.
The bullet remains in Davidson's shoulder. Dr. Brown says Davidson was concerned taking it out could make things worse.
After being out for only a week, she was back in church on Sunday morning, singing in the choir. She's there at least twice a week. One word comes to mind for fellow choir member Amy McNeese.
"Grace, when she came back to church she just explained that she was thankful for all that God had done for her," McNeese said.
And forgiveness.
"She felt nothing against the man that had done this and hoped that he would be able to learn something from what he had done," McNeese said.
The Victory Baptist Congregation has come together to help both families, giving them a positive spirit.
"He's excited, he's excited to be alive. And he's just got a story to tell," Katie Williamson said.
Billy Powell is the third victim. He was fatally wounded after the gunman shot him at random while having coffee with friends.

UMass' 7-0 Start Its Best Since 1982 NCAA Championship Season
from press release
AMHERST, Mass. - Three Minutewomen recorded hat tricks as the 18th-ranked UMass women's lacrosse team picked up its seventh straight victory with a 19-11 win over American University in a non-conference contest on Tuesday afternoon at McGuirk Stadium.
The Minutewomen are now 7-0, marking their best start since 1982 when they finished the season with a 10-0 record and won the NCAA national championship.
Katie Ferris, Nina Sarcona, and Sam Rush each scored three goals while Lauren Terracciano tallied two goals and three assists for a team-high five points. Ferris, who entered the contest ranked second in the nation with 32 points, added an assist as well and did not play in the second half. In total, nine different Minutewomen found the net as UMass outshot American, 34-17, in the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
UMass controlled 22 of 32 draws, led by Sarcona's nine draw controls. Tanner Guarino and Ali Houlis chipped in five draw controls apiece with Guarino notching two goals and two assists and Houlis collecting her first goal of the year.
Leading 3-2 at the 22:42 mark in the first half, the Minutewomen ran off 13 consecutive goals and held the Eagles scoreless over a 22:21 stretch to build up a 16-2 advantage.
The Eagles snapped their scoring drought with 21 seconds remaining in the first half on a strike by Lauren Schoenberger to make it a 16-3 contest at intermission.
American came out firing in the second half, tallying four goals over the first 10 minutes of the period to trim their deficit to 16-7. The Eagles also scored four of the game's final five goals as they outscored UMass, 10-9, in the second half, but the Minutewomen were able to hang on for the victory.
Bernadette Maher and Kimberly Collins combined to score nine of American's 11 goals as the Eagles dropped to 3-4 on the year. Maher tallied five goals and one assist while Collins netted a hat trick and added four helpers.
Katie Florence started in goal for UMass and made three saves in the first half. A pair of freshmen, Jamie Schiloski and Rachel Valarelli, split the second half between the pipes. For American, Kaska Komisinski stopped five shots.
The Minutewomen return to action on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Evanston, Ill. to take on top-ranked Northwestern at 1 p.m.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Lincecum and the Giants were looking for more consistency Tuesday night. They found it, but not the kind they were aiming for.
For the second straight night, the Giants lost 6-2 to the Philadelphia Phillies at AT&T Park after their starter faltered and the lineup sputtered. A night after Madison Bumgarner gave up five earned runs, Lincecum did the same. He lasted seven innings for the second time in his last three starts, but that was little consolation for Lincecum, who has given up 10 earned runs in two May outings.
"It's definitely frustrating," Lincecum said. "It's a lack of consistency. Making a great pitch and not repeating it is the frustrating part."
Lincecum did plenty of both in the first inning, when he struck out three but gave up a run on his own throwing error, a walk and single.
The Phillies got right back to work in the second inning. Leadoff singles by Laynce Nix and Ben Revere and a sacrifice by Kyle Kendrick set the table for the top of the lineup. Jimmy Rollins brought home a run with a ground out, and Chase Utley's single made it 3-0.
Lincecum needed 42 pitches to get through the first two innings, and it looked as if the bullpen would be in for a long night. But he settled down through the middle innings, giving up just a solo homer to Utley as the Giants tried to claw their way back.
Brandon Belt singled to lead off third inning, and Brandon Crawford followed with a double. Angel Pagan hit a sacrifice fly to bring home Belt, and Marco Scutaro hit a run-scoring double. The rally stopped there, however. The Giants couldn't push another run across against Kendrick and two relievers.
The Phillies tacked on a run in the seventh when Michael Young's double brought Rollins racing home. Ryan Howard's homer in the ninth added another run.
After winning six straight, the Giants have dropped the first two games of this series and have lost five straight to teams outside of their division.
"You like to stay out of the tough streaks," manager Bruce Bochy said. "It comes down to consistency with the pitching. We haven't hit our stride with the pitching yet, and that's the key for us."
Lincecum said the starting staff would need to spend more time talking about what has gone wrong and what can be done to get back on track.
"It's one of those friendly competitions where we just get back to competing with each other," Lincecum said.
On Tuesday, Lincecum's line equaled Bumgarner's, and that wasn't a positive for the Giants.
"A few times the ball just came back over the middle of the plate," Bochy said. "They came back over the plate, and (the Phillies) hit it."
"He really did a nice job, and I told him that," Bochy said. "He has shown he can pitch up here."
Machi was called up when Jeremy Affeldt went on the disabled list last month.
He impressed in nine appearances, giving up just two runs over 101/3 innings and getting some huge outs in late innings.
He was sent down because the Giants needed a spot for reliever Mijares, who had spent seven days on the bereavement list and then one on the restricted list.
Bochy said Machi "has the equipment to pitch up here. The fastball that's 94-95 mph and the slider and the good splitter."
Mijares gave up one run in two innings in his return and pointed to the sky after getting out of the eighth inning with a strikeout. He flew to Venezuela last week to be with family members after his grandmother died.
"I was proud of him," Bochy said. "It's not easy what he had to go through this week, and to come out and do what he did is impressive."
Scutaro had two hits to extend his hitting streak to seven games.
Crawford entered in a 2 for 32 rut but had a couple of hits.

One Teen Arrested, Second Sought as Suspects in Beating
Published: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 11:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 11:38 a.m.
Winter Haven police said they arrested a 15-year-old and have a warrant for another teen after the pair allegedly attacked a 17-year-old at gunpoint near the Lake Maude Nature Park.
Officers said Nathaniel Murph, 15, and Chavez Childs, 17, both of Winter Haven, began beating up the other teen, who was with a friend, about 3 p.m. Friday.
Murph pulled a gun and threatened to shoot the victim before passing the gun to Childs, who continued the threats while the teens tried and failed to steal the victim's cellphone and watch, according to reports.
The victim received minor injuries and did not require medical attention.
No shots were fired.
Murph was arrested a short time later and charged with armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a firearm and possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent, among other charges.
Police said a warrant has been issued for Childs on the same charges.
Police said anyone with information about Childs can call Detective Dan Gaskin at 863-291-6752 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-226-8477.

Profile of the legendary violinist/songwriter.
& His Orchestra: Creator of The Cha cha chá
by Luis de Quesada
Violinist/songwriter Enrique Jorrin, creator of the cha cha cha, was born in 1926 in the town of Candelaria, Pinar del Rio province, in Cuba. At age 12 Enrique Jorrin started showing an interest in music and chose to learn the violin. After he graduated from music school at the Municipal Conservatory of the City of Havana, Jorrin joined several musical groups as a violinist, including a famed charanga group named Hermanos Contreras. Around 1943, Jorrin joined Antonio Arcaño & his Orchestra. Arcaño was expanding his already famous orchestra which he re-named La Radiofonica de Arcaño. The Radiofonica made daily presentations at the Mil Diez, a radio station run by Cuba's Communist Party, aka Partido Socialista Popular. Jorrin's tenure with Arcaño's group was fruitful as he created many compositions while with them. It is also where, I believe, the idea of creating a new rhythm derived from the danzones, mambos and montunos played by Arcaño's and other charanga groups first crossed his mind. He would later name his creation cha cha cha.
During the late forties, Jorrin left Arcaño and joined the expanding
Orquesta America de Ninon Mondejar
, which was already gaining fame and a foothold in Havana's dancing clubs, nightclubs and radio stations. In 1951, already as a member of Orquesta America, Jorrin introduced the cha cha cha rhythms to the demanding and savvy Cuban dancing audiences, who were immediately delighted with Jorrin's new rhythmical and contagious musical product. In March of 1953 his first cha cha chas, "La Engañadora" and "Silver Star," became instant recorded hits and unseated Perez Prado's mambo from the top of Cuba's musical charts. Other outstanding hits composed by Jorrin, while with Orquesta America included: "El Alardoso," "Nada Para Ti," "El Tunel," with lyrics written by comedy writer Arturo Liendo, "Me Muero," "Central Constancia," "Cogele Bien El Compas," "Osiris," "Alegre Navidad" and others. In Cuba, Jorrin quickly became the man to consult in charanga and cha cha cha matters and many groups came to him for help and musical arrangements and compositions. One such group was Rafael Lay's Orquesta Aragon de Cienfuegos, whose musical theme was composed by Jorrin. Later on Aragon would add a number of Jorrin's compositions to its successful repertoire.
Following the tremendous success and revenues brought by his compositions, Ninon Mondejar named Enrique Jorrin as the orchestra's musical director. Everything seemed to be going their way when in 1954 a disagreement between Jorrin and Mondejar as to whom was to receive credit (they were also probably discussing royalties) for the creation and introduction of the cha cha cha escalated into an intense disagreement between the two. Unfortunately, the stress between them apparently grew worse and, around August of that year, Jorrin departed. He created his own group with singers Jesus Jorrin (his brother) and Yeyo Estrada; Orquesta Almendra's master flute player and songwriter, Miguel O'Farrill; Orlando Mantecon on piano; Mario Papaito Muñoz on congas and others and then left for Mexico. In Mexico, he was signed to a recording contract with the legendary RCA Victor Mexicana, then under its equally legendary A&R man, Mariano Rivera Conde. From then on Jorrin would shuttle back and forth from Mexico City to Havana and in 1955 he came back to restructure and expand his orchestra, adding to it an unprecedented trumpet duo. He also enhanced the string session by adding viola players and a cello. He recruited singer/songwriter Rudy Calzado, then lead singer with Fajardo y sus Estrellas and, also, Beny More's and Conjunto Casino's chorus and lead singer Fernando Alvarez for recordings only. With this refurbished and expanded orchestra, Jorrin again departed for Mexico, minus Fernando Alvarez. This time he was to stay for an indefinite period of time, which I think had been his longtime wish since his days with Orquesta America.
In Mexico, another addition was made as singer Elizardo Aroche, who was also a chorus singer with Orquesta America de Ninon Mondejar, joined the group. His stay in Mexico from 1954 to January of 1959 was a complete success. Many RCA recorded hits followed, like Rudy Calzado's "Ki Ki Ri Ki," "El Usurero Del Amor," "Dame Tu Cariño," "Chango," "Dos Amigos," "Imposible Volver Aprenda a Bailar El Cha Cha Cha," "La Blusa Azul," "Espiritu Burlon," "Union Cienfuguera," "Donde Esta Mi Negra," "Osiris," "Vamos Al Central," "Mexico Te Cantare," "Minuet Cha Cha Cha," "Ritmo Pa Mi," and an amazingly beautifully orchestrated and arranged bolero-cha "Vivir Asi," "El Campesino," etc. etc. While he was with RCA Victor Mexicana, Jorrin added yet another new rhythm to his list of creations which he named Ritmo Pa Mi and recorded it for RCA with his brother Miguel's "Espiritu Burlon" on its flip side.
Around 1958, Jorrin was signed in Mexico by Discos Orfeon and created yet more recorded hits, like "Barco Camaronero," "La Novia Fea," and a new version of "La Blusa Azul." He even ventured to record some of the old Orquesta America themes, like "Rival," "Nada Para Ti," "Miñoso Al Bate," "La Engañadora," "Cogele Bien El Compas." Also, "Los Santos Me Protejen," "El Papelero," "Amor De Mis Amores," "Sus Picaros Ojos," "En El Mar," "La Jaibera," "Como Usted," "Metete Tete" and Jorrin's version of Orquesta Aragon's 1955 hit "Nosotros," to name a few. For these legendary recordings for Mexico's Orfeon label a trombone was successfully added to enhance the trumpet and wind instrument sections. But all good things come to an end and in January of 1959 Enrique Jorrin returned to Cuba and, unfortunately, once there, in contrast with his 1955 departure for Mexico City, subtractions instead of additions to the orchestra were implemented. The trumpet section was done away with, leaving a void which affected the orchestra's already familiar sound. This was probably due to both budgetary reasons and listening to bad advice from charanga purists such as "who ever heard of a charanga with trumpets, people here don't go for that" and "this is Cuba, not Mexico etc." The addition of trumpets by Jorrin in 1955 to the traditional strings, flute and only charanga format, was both criticized and praised, but as time went by fans not only became used to it, they demanded it. When they heard it no more, the orchestra's popularity dwindled, until the group was no longer in high demand.
In spite of that, in 1959, Jorrin recorded a successful album for the Gema label entitled
La Muerte Llego
featuring singers Regino Tellechea (who substituted for Rudy Calzado) and Orlando Contreras, the latter featured only on a few of the album's tracks, all of which charted to the top. It must be said that at that time Orlando Contreras had already initiated a solo career, so he most likely didn't want to stay with Jorrin as he had already departed the Neno Gonzalez Orchestra for that purpose. But the following year,1960, was almost recordless except for a 45 rpm single whose production and manufacturing Jorrin financed himself. This single included Jorrin's "El Tiburon Del Malecon" and its flip side featured "Cha Cha Cha Ranchero," both new songs which were successful on the radio. This collector's item single, which I fear may be lost forever, appeared under Jorrin's own label, Pa Mi, and was manufactured by Panart Records, Jorrin s original recording label when he was with
Orquesta America
. Unfortunately, Jorrin's career as his own producer was short and unsuccessful. Later, in 1961, a breakthrough was made and the then new label Maype recorded Jorrin for an LP album which was successful for many years, but, unfortunately, has not been re-issued on CD format yet. In my opinion, Jorrin should have been recorded extensively during this period and probably would have been had it not been for his dismissal of the trumpet section. The trumpet section would have provided the innovative sound which people had heard on his Mexican recordings, but at the time there seemed to be no room for any other charanga than
Orquesta Aragon
The 1960s was a decade of relatively low musical profile for Jorrin. But the 1970s were another matter as in 1974 he organized a new charanga orchestra, with the former Arsenio Rodriguez, Orquesta Hermanos Castro ,Orquesta America del 55 and Cabaret Sans Souci pianist, Ruben Gonzalez (presently of Buena Vista Social Club fame). Jorrin reinstated the trumpet section which became an instant success. Also in 1974, Orquesta Riverside's longtime singer/sonero Tito Gomez left the legendary Cuban Jazz Band to join the re-created Enrique Jorrin Orchestra. This drove the orchestra to the top of Cuba's musical charts, leaving a series of golden hit recordings for EGREM for a period of more than 12 years.
Maestro Enrique Jorrin passed away on December of 1987, but his great musical legacy lives on. Also, the orchestra which carries his name is still active in Cuba's musical scene.

- On the other hand, the Sabellian heresy loses a proper conception of distinction among the persons by speaking of God as singular, alone, solitary, and the like.
- So while the Sabellian doctrine may preserve a sense in which the nature of Christ can be adequately expressed in ordinary experience-describing language, it is difficult to see how the 'incarnation strategist' can resort to it.
- We do not make a Sabellian error simply for the fact that Sabellian modalism is Unitarian, and not Trinitarian.
A follower of the teachings of Sabellius.
Example sentences
- He was presbyter of the church of Antioch, where he wrote a confession of faith in opposition to the Sabellians.
- Dionysius exemplifies the concern of the East to do greater justice to the distinction and reality of the Three within the One than did the Sabellians or even the other orthodox theologians of the West.
Sabellianism noun
- Example sentences
- To illustrate, the early church heresy of Sabellianism understood John 1: 1c to read, 'and the Word was the God'; while the early church heresy of Arianism understood John 1: 1c to read, 'and the word was a God.'
- Sabellianism emphasized the fact that God is one, wrongly concluding that in the Godhead there is a single principle or rule.
- Sabellianism, the doctrine that the Persons of the Trinity are roles that a single divine being plays either simultaneously or successively, is commonly thought to entail that the Father is the Son.

Charitable birthdays redefine giving for kids
|Marissa Friedmann, center, and her friends gush over the gift of a baby outfit during her birthday party on November 9, 2012, in St. Louis, Missouri. Friedmann decided that instead of gifts for herself, she wanted baby items to donate to Nurses for Newborns. Surrounding Marissa from left, Caroline Agostini, Lauren Jacobs, Emma Weidler, Lydia Brinker, Avery Blankenship, and Sydney McComish. (Sarah Conard/St. Louis Post-Dispatch/MCT)
Marissa and her siblings had a tough year coping with their parents' divorce.
So earlier this month, her mom, Dawn Friedman, planned a party in Crestwood, Mo., to Marissa's exacting specifications. It would be a sleepover with a bonfire and a menu of cheeseburgers and smores.
They bought a pinata and slipped the first clue for a scavenger hunt inside. And there was a girly cake: a peace sign frosted in pink and brown and adorned with owls and a butterfly.
Yet amid the elaborate plans, there was one thing Marissa was certain she did not want: gifts - at least not for her.
Marissa, inspired by a talk given by a janitor at her school about his work helping the homeless, decided to do something increasingly common among the birthday girl and boy set nationwide.
She asked her guests to bring gifts for people far needier than herself.
"He was talking about making a difference," Marissa recalled of the janitor's talk. "And I was thinking in my head, 'Wow, that's really cool.' It's not about making a difference for yourself, it's about making a difference to others."
So instead of trinkets like friendship bracelets and new diaries, Marissa's 12 guests brought wrapped baby items to be donated to Nurses for Newborns. The St. Louis-based charity provides home visits by nurses to new Missouri mothers and babies living in poverty or other difficult circumstances.
Surrounded by her friends, Marissa unwrapped, one-by-one, binkies, onesies, receiving blankets, bibs and baby bottles. She and her guests shrieked, "awww" and "sooo cute," so loudly, it sounded like a Justin Bieber sighting at the mall.
Charities for children say they're used to getting donations for the mothers and babies they serve during the holiday season. But now they are finding a year-round infusion of contributions arranged through kids birthday parties like Marissa's.
"It makes us smile anytime any donor comes into our office, but especially the little ones, and they come all the time now," said Claire Devoto of Nurses for Newborns, who said even little donations, like a bottle brush to help a mother properly clean a baby bottle, can make a big difference.
"Our moms don't have dishwashers. A dollar bottle brush can save a baby," Devoto said.
Last year, Nurses for Newborns had more than 100 children donate items for babies and their mothers through their birthday parties.
Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition, another St. Louis nonprofit that provides support for foster children and foster parents, had 223 different families give gifts to needy foster children through its "birthday buddy" program. Meanwhile, Crisis Nursery, which provides temporary housing for children of families in crisis - typically because of poverty - had about a dozen donations this past year through birthday parties. Those birthday donors got tours of the nurseries and a kid-friendly explanation of how hard it is to grow up in poverty.
Fonda Richards, of Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition, said she sees the grace in child birthday giving from both sides. Her Kirkwood, Mo., home is the drop-off and pick-up point for donations.
On one end she sees proud children with big smiles carting bags of gifts they've collected for a foster child to her home. On the other, she sees foster children and foster parents nearly cry when they' pick up gifts for a birthday later that day.
Once, Richards said, a foster child simply asked for a box of cake mix for her birthday.
"We walk around and we want to make sure that we protect our children and not tell them the woes of our world," Richards said. "It's better to tell our kids. It's better to educate our kids so they know not all kids have what you have and you can make a difference."
Jamie Simon, a foster care caseworker with Edgewood Children's Services, said the impact of one child giving to another in that way can be life-altering.
"It's just important for them to feel loved and cared for and to know that their birthday is not forgotten in foster care," she said.

The dark clouds of declining enrollment and uncertainty in funding revenue are once again looming on the horizon for YME.
Superintendent Al Stoeckman shared future enrollment figures with YME Board members at the Monday night school board meeting. While 2013-2014 projections are expected to remain constant the projections through 2016 are not as favorable. Stoeckman shared that the projected decline in enrollment over the next four years will be 53 students. The revenue loss will amount to over $470,000 dollars.
After the fiscal status was explained, members of the finance committee shared that they wanted input from the board on how to proceed with the 2013-2014 budget. "What we're looking for is a consensus on whether we are going to continue to cut and deficit spend," explained finance committee member Jane Hagert. Even though enrollment projections are already determined, the state legislature has not made progress on a school funding bill. Wanting to give more time this year for input on the decisions to cut or to deficit spend, Tim Opdahl made a motion to maintain a minimum of one million dollars in the unreserved general fund. The motion was approved. The unreserved fund balance is projected to be at 1.3 million dollars at the end of the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The desire to not only make budget decisions one year out, but also to right size the budget, to be fiscally responsible while continuing to provide quality education, for the projected $470,000 revenue loss by 2016 prompted the board to mention cuts, not only in personnel but also in programs. "Everything will be on the table," shared Opdahl.
Athletic pairing
Athletic Director Tim Knapper reported to the board that an agreement had been reached with RCW concerning the pairing of the football programs.
Under the agreement YME would make no concessions in the YME program and all activities would be held on the YME campus. Knapper reported that the vote was 6 to 5 in favor of the pairing.
Knapper went on to explain that he was not comfortable with the outcome of the vote. "I'd feel more comfortable if there was an 80 percent agreement," Knapper pointed out. He also indicated that he did not see pairing as an answer to the competitiveness problem at YME. He stated, "The competitiveness problem is an internal problem."
Knapper told the board that he felt the decision was too big and there was too much at stake to make at this time. The board approved a motion to have Knapper draft a letter to RCW stating that YME does not wish to pair the football program with RCW at this time.
Personnel items
The board approved a one year contract with Melissa Hesch as Bert Raney Elementary Principal. The contract includes a 2.5 percent increase over the current contract and a $3,500 stipend for overseeing the summer school program, Kids College, at Bert Raney.
Page 2 of 2 - The board approved a one year contract with Michael Meihak as YME MS/HS Principal. The contract includes a 2.5 percent increase in salary over the current contract.
The board approved a leave of absence to high school social studies teacher Elaine Hauger.
The board accepted the resignation with regret of English teacher, newspaper advisor and one act play director Heather Anderson. Anderson's future plans include returning to her home district of Minneota to teach.
The board accepted the resignation with regret of girls basketball coach Scott Jans. Jans' future plans include spending more of his time with his family.
The board accepted the resignation with regret of ESL teacher Melissa Larson. Larson's future plans include moving to Texas.
Other business
The board approved the second reading and adopted the 400 series policies governing personnel and had the first reading of the 500 series policies governing students.
The board approved the 2013-2014 school calendar.
The board approved the membership agreement with SW/WC Service Cooperative.
The next school board meeting will be held on May 13, in the YME Board room at 5:30 p.m.

Cubs Throw No Hitter at Fitch Park
Five Cub pitchers combined to throw a no run, no hit game, but the Angels threw a three-hit shutout of their own right back at the Cubs, as the two teams played to a scoreless tie in AZ Instructional League action at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa this morning.
The Cubs mounted the only real scoring threat of the day in the bottom of the 3rd inning against Angels starter RHP Fabio Martinez. Willson Conteras smacked a lead-off double off the LF fence, but was still on 2nd base two outs later after Chris Huseby struck out and Xavier Batista flied out to left. Evan Crawford then lined a single into RF that looked like it might score Contreras, but the slow-footed ex-catcher was held up at 3rd, and then Crawford was caught stealing to end the inning and the threat.
The Cubs also had runners at 1st and 2nd with one out in the 7th, but pinch-runner Marco Hernandez was picked-off 2nd base and Reggie Golden grounded out to end the inning.
Meanwhile, the Cubs hurlers were shutting-down the Angels, allowing three walks but facing only one batter over the minimum through nine innings, thanks to a pick-off that short-circuited the Angel 7th and a 4-6-3 DP that concluded the Halo 8th.
Cubs 2010 10th round pick RHP Aaron Kurcz (College of Southern Nevada) got the start and continued his Instructs magic, throwing today's first three innings of no-hit baseball. The 20-year old allowed just a walk while striking out four. In four AZ Instructional League outings covering 9.2 IP so far, Kurcz has allowed two hits and two walks, and no runs, while striking out 16.
6'4 230 RHP Dustin Fitzgerald (Cubs 2010 19th round draft pick out of Hill JC in Texas) followed Kurcz to the hill and retired the Angels six up/six-down on just 23 pitches (L-5, 4-3, 4-3 in his first inning of work, and 5-3, 6-3, and K-looking in his second inning).
19-year old RHP Robinson Lopez (one of three pitchers acquired by the Cubs from the Atlanta Braves in the Derrek Lee deal) worked the 6th and 7th, striking out the first man he faced and then getting two long fly outs to complete a 1-2-3 6th inning, and then after walking the lead-off hitter in the top of the 7th on four pitches, Lopez picked the runner off 1st, before inducing two routine ground outs (a 6-3 then a 4-3) to end the frame.
RHP Kevin Rhoderick (Cubs 2010 9th round pick out of Oregon State) worked the 8th and allowed a lead-off walk, but then got a 5-4 FC for the first out (nice leaping stab by 3B Gioskar Amaya to start the play), and a slick 4-6-3 GIDP to end the inning.
2010 29th round pick LHP Casey Harman (Clemson) threw an eight-pitch 1-2-3 9th to guarantee the no-hitter, with the Cubs needing just one little old run to complete what could have been a stirring victory, and with the top of the batting order due up. But Evan Crawford, Hak-Ju Lee, and Engel Santana went down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 9th (5-3, K-swinging, and 4-3), resulting in a scoreless tie that would have made World Cup Soccer proud.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1. Evan Crawford, CF: 1-4 (F-7, 1B, F-8, 5-3, CS)
2. Hak-Ju Lee, SS: 0-4 (P-6, K, 5-3, K)
3a. Max Kwan, C: 0-1 (E6, HBP, BB)
3b. Marco Hernandez, PR-DH: NO AB (PO)
3c. Engel Santana, PH: 0-1 (4-3)
4. Justin Bour, 1B: 0-3 (3-1, 6-3, K)
5. Logan Watkins, 2B: 1-3 (4-3, 3-1, 1B)
6. Reggie Golden, DH #1: 0-3 (K, K, 5-3)
7. Micah Gibbs, DH-C: 0-2 (K, F-7, BB)
8a. Willson Contreras, 3B: 1-1 (2B, HBP)
8b. Gioskar Amaya, 3B: 0-0 (1-3 SH)
9. Chris Huseby, LF: 0-3 (K, K, P-6)
10. Xavier Batista, RF: 0-3 (F-7, F-7, L-6)
1. Aaron Kurcz: 3.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 37 pitches (26 strikes), 1/4 GO/FO
2. Dustin Fitzgerald: 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 23 pitches (15 strikes), 4/1 GO/FO
3. Robinson Lopez: 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 PO, 26 pitches (13 strikes), 2/2 GO/FO
4. Kevin Rhoderick: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K, 1 GIDP, 11 pitches (5 strikes), 3/0 GO/FO
5. Casey Harman: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 8 pitches (6 strikes), 2/1 GO/FO
ATTENDANCE: 31 (including cubs.com beat writer Carrie Muskat)
WEATHER: Sunny with temperatures in the 80's
Re: Cubs Throw No Hitter at Fitch Park
Phil - from what I have heard, Lopez is the only real prospect we received for Lee. From what you have seen, is he more likely to be a Stevens/Gaub type prospect, or does he have the ability to be as interesting as Archer?
I realize that I didn't give you much middle ground.
Re: Cubs Throw No Hitter at Fitch Park
I see that Huseby is playing the field again. Do you think he can hit enough to become a position player in the system?
I'm curious what the competition level is at Instructs. Could it be compared to Low or High A? I realize there are probably players from several levels being represented here.
Based on his success so far, where do you think Kurcz starts the 2011 season?
Are there any hitters who have impressed you?
Thanks for all the updates
Re: Cubs Throw No Hitter at Fitch Park
I thought the whole point of instructs were for players to work on weaknesses in thier game. Ha should be told to take 2 strikes every AB and work on getting deep into counts. Why woundn't the Cubs coaches tell a kid like Ha to do this and hold him accountable for working on it during games? Just to let him go up there and hack isn't doing anything for him, everyone knows he can do that.
Re: Cubs Throw No Hitter at Fitch Park
Really surpising to hear that the Cubs were pushing a "hack-first, think-second" policy...
Re: Cubs Throw No Hitter at Fitch Park
Santo was presented a proclamation from Mesa Mayor Scott Smith celebrating Oct. 10, 2010 - the 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th year as Ron Santo Day in Mesa
Re: Cubs Throw No Hitter at Fitch Park
Speaking of Fontenot - nice triple today culminating in the Giant's first run today. Started at 3B. Hopefully, no balls will get hit higher than 6'3" off the ground over his head.
Recent comments
uh, Fowler?
Well I assume Ross is going to catch Lester in the playoffs, and it looks like Contreras is going to catch everyone else. I could see the Cubs keeping three catchers on the playoff roster as it would give them flexibility and Montero would have a left handed bat with some pop (at least historically) off the bench.
Aren't Montero and Ross already in a tie for third catcher?
Higher than Chris Perez's mailbox.
Contreras starting at catcher for a day game after he caught the night before. What do people think the odds are that Montero is left off the post-season roster, or is at best the third catcher?
Does he project as a starter, a relief pitcher, or is it too soon to tell?
Rizzo getting a well deserved breather today with Bryant at 1B. Soler back in lineup batting cleanup and playing LF, otherwise all of the all-stars batting 1-5 again (what a luxury)
in his last 11 innings, he has 21K, 6BB, 4 hits and one ER. Nice!
Thanks crunch!!
It's mesmerizing
5 HR in his last 5 games (3, 1 run...1, 2 run)
sure, 3 HR were in colorado, but 2 were in night games in SD. that evens out somehow.
Good work!
My guy Addy
oh, another a.russell HR...whatever.
Dylan Cease throwing gas tonight for the Emeralds. In first three innings, has hit 100 mph six times, averaging 98 mph

30/08/2016People with blood type O often get more severely ill from cholera than people of other blood types. New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis may explain why.
12/08/2016Learning how to look inside a body without having to cut it open is still an important part of medical research. One of the great challenges in imaging remains the visualization of oxygen in tissue.
08/08/2016Eliminating racial disparities in the outcomes of programs to control blood pressure can be accomplished with a few one-on-one coaching sessions delivered by health professionals - but not if the program requires people to get to a clinic, according to results of a new Johns Hopkins Medicine study.
19/07/2016Improving the processes of ordering, transporting, and storing blood can save millions of dollars and drastically reduce blood wastage, reported a research team from one academic medical center after implementing institutional initiatives to address blood management.
23/06/2016Critical conditions associated with the blockage of blood vessels are one of the primary health concerns worldwide. The main objective of emergency assistance in such conditions is to effectively implement thrombolysis, i. e. to quickly dissolve the clot.
22/06/2016Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) develops through chromosomal alterations in blood-forming cells of the bone marrow and usually occurs in older persons. Around 20 percent of adults diagnosed with leukemia suffer from this type of blood cancer.
21/06/2016In a surprising twist, benign brain tumors that have previously been tied to obesity and diabetes are less likely to emerge in those with high blood sugar, new research has found.
20/06/2016In a study of stroke patients, investigators confirmed through MRI brain scans that there was an association between the extent of disruption to the brain's protective blood-brain barrier and the severity of bleeding following invasive stroke therapy.
13/06/2016Scientists at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research and the University of Tübingen have identified proteins in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid that reflect nerve cell damage.
02/06/2016Growing tissues and organs in the lab for transplantation into patients could become easier after scientists discovered an effective way to produce three-dimensional networks of blood vessels, vital for tissue survival yet a current stumbling block in regenerative medicine.
01/06/2016Some hospitals have long banned the status symbol of physicians – the white coat. Research has shown that especially the sleeves were contaminated with various types of bacteria. But it's not just lab coats that can spread germs in healthcare settings. This field uses a variety of different textiles. Wouldn't it, therefore, make sense to apply antimicrobial finishes?
22/05/2016The treatment for diabetes is very time-consuming for patients: they need to regularly monitor blood sugar levels, take medication and inject insulin. Poor self-management may result in a dangerous lapse in blood glucose levels. Yet external factors can also contribute to diabetes being out of control. An artificial pancreas system could offer relief.
22/03/2016Medical apps like diabetes or high blood pressure diaries are becoming increasingly popular with smartphone users. There are many available choices out there but they are not always clear. Added to this is the question of how the data collected by the apps can be sensibly incorporated into treatment.
08/03/2016Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer because it is difficult to diagnose and only presents with symptoms in the later stages. In the future, a laboratory test developed at the Greifswald University Medicine could make an early detection of this type of cancer and consequently a faster and better treatment possible.
01/02/2016Children, especially newborns, are generally no longer simply considered to be small adults whose treatment just needs to be "reduced". This is why a pediatrician's education includes several specialties because ultimately everything in terms of care comes together here.
01/02/2016First grow tissue in the lab, then insert it into patients when they need it and you're done! Unfortunately, things are not as easy as people hoped at the onset of "tissue engineering". Although robust tissues for bone defects can be grown in a petri dish, for example, they unfortunately quickly die off again inside the body if there is no corresponding nutrient supply.
01/02/2016Self-healing powers like a superhero on the big screen? That's the aim of regenerative medicine; at least in a very broad sense. This promising field of biomedicine is currently highly dynamic with innovative technologies and development. New methods are designed to help propel medicine into a whole new sphere.
04/01/2016Most Europeans think it was a long time ago, but the residents of West Africa clearly feel the consequences of the Ebola epidemic that broke out in December 2013 and still continues today. So far, approximately 11,300 people have died as a result of the outbreak; more than 28,000 contracted the disease.
04/01/2016When infectious diseases such as Ebola break out, a rapid diagnosis is important because the early detection of a virus along with the right hygiene measures can prevent its continued spread. However, laboratories and skilled personnel are not available everywhere. Low-cost and portable detection strips can bring relief.
01/12/2015Each year, approximately 250,000 Germans suffer a stroke. This makes stroke the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. The circulatory disorder that occurs in the brain is normally treated using systemic thrombolysis, a procedure that bears various risks. Unlike mechanical thrombectomy, which offers clear advantages by comparison.
01/07/2015Deep vein thrombosis is not just a risk factor for frequent flyers but also for wearers of cardiovascular implants and newly operated patients. Blood thinners prevent these dangerous blood clots from forming, but they need to be carefully adjusted and do not work the same way in every patient. A detailed analysis of platelets (thrombocytes) could prevent complications in the future.
01/06/2015Can liquid biopsies become the new trend in cancer diagnostics? The medical world has asked this question for quite some time. The first globally approved liquid biopsy-based test for lung cancer shows that this can work. Yet further findings and research are still required to establish this less invasive method in diagnostics.
22/10/2014Patients in intensive care units do not just have to struggle with the consequences of a severe injury or disease – they are also subject to acute glucose fluctuations that compromise the healing success. These sometimes happen so quickly that they cannot be caught in time with existing discrete measurement methods.
01/10/2014On November 10, 2014, astronaut Alexander Gerst will return to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS). He is not just anxiously expected by his family, but also by Dr. Anna-Maria Liphardt from the Institute of Biomechanics and Orthopedics at the German Sport University Cologne
02/06/2014"Sports are good for your health", as the saying goes. Regular exercise promotes the health of our blood vessels and prevents vascular diseases. However, many years of competitive sports can also have negative effects on vascular health and increase the risk of myocardial infarction. Prof. Martin Halle of the Technical University Munich explains at MEDICA.de what athletes need to pay attention to.

How Murray Undid Federer
We know enough not to do this again, right? Yes, Roger Federer did not make it to the finals of the 2013 Australian Open, and was in fact out-muscled by Andy Murray in a hard-fought, five-set semifinal loss on Friday. Yes, it is possible that Roger Federer could be beginning a decline down the long shoulder of what has been among the great careers in the sport. But it is certain that he remains Roger Federer, and thus that reasonable observers would do well to leave the "Is this the end?" pondering for another day, or year. Anyway, if there's a story in Murray's first-ever defeat of Federer in a Grand Slam tournament—and in this particularly gutsy bit of racket-to-racket combat—it's probably Murray himself.
Murray will face Novak Djokovic in the final, which promises to be worth watching not just because it is, if you're just joining us, the final of the Australian Open, and because Djokovic is Djokovic. All good reasons there, but the most intriguing aspect of the final is, again, Murray, who seems—even after his U.S. Open win and Olympic gold medal—to be on the verge of taking yet another step forward. It's not that Murray is playing perfect tennis, Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim writes, so much as that he's handling his mistakes perfectly.
After a mistake at 5-5 in the second set, Wertheim writes, the old Murray "would have glowered at this box, berated himself and worn his I-just-ate-vegemite face. Same when Federer scored a break in the fourth set. Same when Federer hit back-to-back let cords. Same when Murray lost challenge after challenge. Same when Federer had a few choice words for Murray. Same when Murray couldn't serve out the match in the fifth set. [But] Murray recovered again and again. He kept pounding the ball and restoring order, imposing his will."
Given Murray's top-tier talent, his ferocious new calm qualifies as a scary development for the rest of the tour. We must assume that Roger Federer isn't finished. It seems increasingly safe to assume that Andy Murray is just getting started.

On Thursday, America saw Manti Te'o sitting on a profoundly beige television set, with Katie Couric to his right, a studio audience and television cameras in front of him. There, he answered some questions about the hoax that has come—after a season in which he finished as the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy—to define his young career. It was exactly as satisfying and affirmative and inspiring as it sounds. Which is to say that, like the rest of this still-unfurling fable about the intersection of the internet and baroque human weirdness—listen, for instance, to the jarringly convincing falsetto voicemails left by what appears to have been Ronaiah Tuiasosopo on Te'o's phone (or maybe not?), and then imagine Tuiasosopo putting on the voice in over 1,000 phone calls—it was all pretty strange, and oddly sad.
"This interview is the end of it, I bet," Sports On Earth's Will Leitch writes in his rundown of the interview. "We're never going to find out what happened. At this point, I guess it doesn't matter." This raises the question of whether it ever mattered, or what ever mattered about it. For all the fascinating and unbelievably ornate strangeness of the entire affair, it's not at all clear that this was ever a sports story. Here we dead-end in the opaque and the plain weird, yet again.
And maybe all those inexplicable obsessions and willful projections and other childish imagineerings make it a sports story, after all. "Of all the truths and semi-truths exposed in this bizarre public unraveling, what the story of Manti Te'o seemed to prove the most was that people are inclined to love what they don't truly know," the Journal's Jason Gay writes. "That leap is the essence of big-time sports fandom—emotional attachment to strangers wearing familiar uniforms. We're conditioned to accept the unbelievable."

What is a young star, and potential superstar, worth in trade? It's not a problem most baseball teams have to ponder, because most teams don't have players as good and young and comparatively inexpensive as Justin Upton, the 25-year-old outfielder that the Arizona Diamondbacks traded to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday for what most baseball pundits deemed an uninspiring collection of prospects and super-utility player Martin Prado. Many scored the deal as a win for Atlanta, which was, after all, the team receiving the blue-chipper, with some notable (and reasonable) exceptions. But the Upton deal, which could be very real in its impact on both the NL West and NL East races for years to come, did raise an abstract question that has been pondered often during baseball's offseason—just what is a young superstar worth in trade, and could it ever be worthwhile to make such a deal?
The Diamondbacks obviously thought so, not because they doubted Upton's ability or promise, but because they didn't think he was a proper attitudinal match with the team's desired dirty-uniform personality. "Justin Upton is an impact guy," Ken Rosenthal writes at Fox Sports. "And the Diamondbacks didn't want him." This follows comparatively closely on a deal in which Arizona dealt top pitching prospect Trevor Bauer—a confident, cerebral type who was another non-favorite of manager Kirk Gibson's—for what was judged an inferior return.
Questions about Upton's personality aside—and sources in Rosenthal's article make it clear that the issue was a perceived unwillingness to crash into walls, not some secret lack of professionalism—this privileging of attitude over ability is an unusual choice, and one that confused many observers. At Yahoo Sports, Jeff Passan looks at Arizona's offseason and sees a team taking a chance on a big idea. "As much as any baseball team in recent memory, the Diamondbacks on Thursday publicly embraced the idea of grittiness and guts, of the inherent and unquantifiable," Passan writes. "And in doing so, they finished a two-trade whammy over the last six weeks that has seen them ship out their two most talented players in an effort to better embody this belief. The result is a fascinating experiment: a team stressing culture over talent."

Back in the early '90s, then Vice President Al Gore spoke of the Internet as an "information superhighway." While that's a somewhat imperfect analogy, the Internet and highways do have some things in common. Both can move traffic and both can become too clogged up for traffic to move swiftly.
A traffic jam on a real highway can affect that road and any other roads that connect to it and the same can be true for the information highway.
And while most traffic jams are a result of an accident or too many vehicles (or data packets in the case of the Internet) legitimately trying to get from place to place, they can also be slowed down deliberately, as happened in Brussels last September when about 100 trucks slowed traffic entering the city as part of a planned protest.
Last week, a small Dutch Internet service provider called CyberBunker initiated a traffic jam of its own. Its apparent goal wasn't to slow down the entire Internet but to bring down the services of Spamhaus -- a spam fighting organization that had added CyberBunker to its block lists for allegedly allowing its customers to send spam around the world. CyberBunker advertises that customers "are allowed to host any content they like, except child porn and anything related to terrorism. Everything else is fine."
According to published reports, that traffic jam affected servers around the world and impacted ordinary people thousands of miles away who weren't able to watch online video or access other Web services as a result of a protest on another continent.
It's a scary thought and a reminder of how this "global village" we live in is so interconnected that we can no longer afford to ignore problems that affect "other people," because they can affect us, too. Of course that's long been true to a certain extent -- a fire in an oil field in the Middle East can affect gas prices in our Midwest; a poor wheat harvest in Kansas could affect bread prices in Russia; a storm in New York can affect air traffic in San Francisco. But on the Internet, the impact can be immediate and widespread.
This is one reason international bodies such as the United Nations hold occasional global forums like the Internet Governance Forum or the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) World Conference on International Telecommunications to talk about coordinated strategies to keep traffic flowing on our global highway. Of course, even these bodies are not without their controversy. Late last year, the United States led a coalition of countries that refused to sign an International Telecommunications Regulations treaty because it proposed regulations that many Western countries considered to be a threat to the open Internet.
Without getting into the specifics of the ITU treaty, the general issue of control vs. openness is one that needs to be looked at in light of today's threat landscape. We need global cooperation to help thwart attacks and keep traffic moving. But we don't need cyber police around the world stopping traffic for no legitimate reason just to see what's in the trunk, so to speak.
Solving international cybercrime poses both legal and technical challenges. Dave Rand, who co-founded the Mail Abuse Prevention System (MAPS) and is now a technical fellow at Trend Micro, pointed out in an interview that it's possible for spam to be sent from Antigua advertising a virus site in Canada with payment processed in the Virgin Islands, and with domain name servers in the United States and a fulfillment service in India.
"Where does law enforcement start?" he asked. "It's very difficult for law enforcement to get a handle on it because there are no effective transnational laws for the Internet." Finding a way to balance privacy, security and the legal aspect of the Internet as a whole is a "deep dark problem," Rand said.
Rand said it's up to the private sector to "apply appropriate pressures at the right time." He pointed to an example from 2008, where a series of articles from then Washington Post columnist Brian Krebs pressured upstream Internet service providers into cutting off access to McColo, a San Jose-based company that was hosting spam sites. "At that moment," said Rand, "spam on the Internet dropped by more than 50 percent."
Rand said that it's time to put international pressure on CyberBunker's upstream providers that link them with the global Internet.
I might add that it's also appropriate to continue international conversations about beefing up cross-border cooperation and international laws that can help protect the Internet. I am well aware of the potential for overregulation or oppressive laws, as we found at that last ITU meeting, but we also need to find better ways to protect our shared infrastructure while also protecting national sovereignty and an open Internet.

Tolerance (Weekend Whine)
Here's the setup and the scenario. You own a home in a subdivision. You have a huge back deck with a sound system and on rare occasions, you enjoy entertaining guests. Typically alcoholic beverages are served and while the music is playing and food is cooking on the grill, conversation is lively and can sometimes lead to controversial subjects that might make certain guests louder than normal in trying to get their point across. I enjoy that. That's summertime in the Indiana Hamptons, without the Hamptons. We pretend we're somebodies when we know we're nobodies, but amidst the depth of discussion, we're lively and animated.
Occasionally, a swear word slips out. Sh(It) happens. Bullsh(It) even happens when we discuss really controversial subjects, like the size of my head, or the relevance of Larry, Curly and Mo as they relate to our current day existence. It's family, and it can get heated at times, but the swear words are always spoken with love and respect.
The problem? The neighbors. God help me if they read my blog, but I'm totally p(isse)'d off that they'd have the gall to approach us and ask us to "tame it down." I've lived many places and have had many neighbors and have never been approached in this manner. Heck, if this were late night high jinx, I'd understand, but we're talking early evening here folks, and on a Saturday to boot.
I guess more than anything, my feelings were hurt. I practice tolerance and have accepted and put up with many neighborly transgressions through the years. Live and let live, I say. Love thy neighbor's potty mouth as thy own. It's an occasional thing, so live with it. Am I wrong?
Wishing you all a fantastic Memorial Day weekend and may your parties and cookouts be loud, boisterous and filled with fun.

They should be so lucky to have a neighbour like you. I can tell you! I have had bad neighbours ... drugs, police, weapons, music into the wee hours, yelling, screaming. They are over-reacting more than a tad. But what do you do? I have no idea. Just remember, what goes around, comes around. It will be their turn one of these days, guaranteed.

Girl, I feel your pain. I once had a neighbor tell me not to park in front of their house. The catch? It's a public street! Their rationalization was "But, you know, it's the front of OUR house." - How do you argue with that?
Some folks have no tolerance for others. And then they compound this flaw by choosing to live in a subdivision. Go live in the country if you want complete silence. (God knows there's enough places in Indiana for this to be feasible)
I would be delighted if you were my neighbor - so go out there and have a great weekend. Have a beer for me!
Please don't bribe them with our treats! I'm pretty sure we'd appreciate them more.

Seems like pretty petty behaviour under the circumstances you've described. Have these people nothing better to complain about? Guess not.
I am an extremely quiet and polite condo owner, yet the other day when I was rushing to leave my door caught the wind and slammed shut. I was halfway down the hall when the lady across from me opened her door, screamed "MUST you SLAM your door like that??" and then proceeded to slam hers so hard the whole floor shook. Weirdness. I have no idea how to deal with unreasonable behaviour like that.

Do what you think would be tolerable and reasonable to you if the shoe was on the other foot, tone it down a small notch from there, and if you are within that limit, screw the neighbors.
You'll never make everyone happy, there will always be some who complain about everything. As long as you have not gone past those reasonable limits, what are they going to do?

States are required to pay a fee for Federal administration of State Supplementary Payments (supplemental to Federal SSI payments). The law provides a method to increase the fee for fiscal years after 2002. The method sets the fee for the next fiscal year to be the fee for the current fiscal year increased by the percentage, if any, by which the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the month of June in the current year exceeds the CPI for the month of June in the preceding year. The resulting amount is to be rounded to the nearest whole cent. The law also allows the Commissioner of Social Security to set a different fee "appropriate for the State."
Fee for fiscal year 2016
For this determination, the Social Security Administration has interpreted CPI to mean the "consumer price index for all urban consumers" (CPI-U). Based on the increase in the
CPI-U from June 2014 to June 2015, we have determined the fee for fiscal year 2016 to be $11.56. This amount applies to both optional and mandatory State Supplementary Payments. Details concerning this determination are shown below.
Percentage increase in CPI-U, from June 2014 to June 2015, is 0.12377120 percent.
Fee determined for fiscal year 2015 is $11.55.

HATFIELD, Pa. (November 30, 2012)--President Barack Obama urged Congress Friday to pass an extension of tax cuts for middle class families, saying a tax increase for them would be like a "lump of coal" for Christmas.
In his first campaign-style event to sell his solution on the "fiscal cliff," Mr. Obama said in the Philadelphia suburbs that Republicans should extend existing Bush-era tax rates for households earning $250,000 or less, while allowing increases to kick in for the wealthy.
He said both sides need to "get out of our comfort zones" to reach an agreement.
He toured a manufacturing facility that builds construction toys, joking that he's keeping his own "naughty and nice list" for Congress and urging the public to pressure lawmakers to pass the tax cut extension for the middle class.

Pine View ranked No. 6 high school in nation
Published: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 12:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 12:57 p.m.
OSPREY - Pine View school is the sixth best public high school in the country, jumping from 30th place from last year's rankings, according to U.S. News & World Report.
Pine View teaches grades 2 through 12. An earlier version of this story was incorrect.
The annual ratings that were released Tuesday analyzed more than 21,000 schools.
"We don't usually live and die by a number but it reflects a lot we can be proud of," Pine View principal Steve Largo said.
Pine View, the publication's No. 1 school in the state, is the lone Florida public school for gifted students. In 2007, it was rated No. 6 in the nation, which was the last time it had been ranked into the top ten.
The Osprey school stood out because it "mixes traditional classroom learning with independent study, mini-courses, and ungraded classes," the report said. "Pine View School places a strong emphasis on parent involvement through volunteering and fundraising opportunities, open houses, newsletters, and field trips."
The school, which encompasses grades 2 through 12, has 2,210 students and 121 full-time teachers. About 11 percent of the students receive free or reduced lunch, and the student body is made up of 22 percent minorities.
"Of course, it's very gratifying," Largo said. "One of the benefits of this kind of recognition is it makes people aware of our school throughout the country."
But he also acknowledged the rankings are "just a tiny snapshot of what schools are all about. It doesn't reflect a complete picture."
He said it wasn't clear what changed in one year to make Pine View rise from 30th to 6th place.
The School for the Talented and Gifted in Dallas received the highest rating in the annual rankings.
Four other high schools in Sarasota County Schools received recognition out of Florida's 777 high schools.
Riverview and Booker high schools were ranked 50th and 51st in the state, respectively. Venice High School was named 58th and North Port High School earned 84th spot.
No Manatee County schools received rankings in the report.
Pine View is undergoing a major transition as its longtime principal retires at the end of the school year.
Largo, who is currently the longest-serving active principal in Sarasota schools, has led Pine View since August 1988.
In February, the district announced it will hire Stephen Covert, a school administrator from Fredericksburg, Va., as Largo's replacement.

STOCKTON - Police are looking for a man who used a shotgun to rob a donut shop early Saturday morning.
A 33-year-old man who was working at the shop in the 500 block of East Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard said the robber entered the store holding the shotgun about 3:55 a.m.
The man demanded money from the register and fled through the doors on the west side of the shop with an undisclosed amount of money, police said.
The robber was described as a Latino man in his 20s, 6 feet 6 inches tall and 180 pounds, authorities said. He was wearing a black sweatshirt, which was pulled over his head.

The disease is transmitted by mosquitoes that get the virus from infected birds.
It causes encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, in horses, humans, birds and other warm-blooded animals.
The best way to avoid it is to eliminate sources for standing water where mosquitoes breed.

Back to number two!
Roger booked his spot in the final of the Rogers Cup in Toronto with a 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 victory over Novak Djokovic on Saturday night - meaning that Roger will move back up to number two in the world rankings already.
"Tonight I came out with all guns blazing," Roger commented. "I played fantastic in the first set but in the second set Novak was able to raise his game and make it super competitive so I feel very happy to have come through."
Our champ needed under half an hour to secure the first set and continued in the same fashion, winning the next two games as well. But then Djokovic had a strong phase, when Roger had to face breaks and the loss of the second set. But he entered the deciding set clearly focused and jumped to a 4-1 lead - only for the Serb to come back to 4-4. But Roger was convinced not to let this one slip away, scoring a last break in just the right moment with a forehand by Djokovic that landed in the net.
With the win, Roger regained the No. 2 seed he lost following Wimbledon with Djokovic dropping back down to No. 3. He will now play the final in Toronto against Andy Murray, who owns a slight 6-5 edge in career matches between the two, but the last three have all gone Roger's way.
Good luck!!!

It is only one break,everything is posibble,but if he does not starts play better,he will loose it...Scoreboard looks not bad,but his game is not good tonigh

The following are the most common symptoms of cerebral palsy. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. The child may have muscle weakness, poor motor control and stiffness, also called spasticity, of the arms or legs. Muscle stiffness can cause clenched fists and walking with a scissor pattern on tiptoes. Cerebral palsy is classified according to the kind of motor function the child may have, including the following:
Spastic hemiplegia ("hemi" means half) - spasticity affecting one half, or side, of the body (such as right arm and right leg)

Certain Summit School District sites could see solar panels in the near future.
The Summit School District Board of Education gave approval earlier this week to hold a series of community meetings, starting later this month, to gauge the public's interest in four new solar panel sites: the Summit High School fieldhouse, Summit Middle School, the district's facilities building and Summit Cove Elementary. It's estimated the new arrays would save the district more than $11,000 in their first year of operation.
"There's a lot of schools going solar right now," said Joe Steenbergen of Syndicated Solar in Denver. The company, along with Summit County-based Innovative Energy, presented the board with the logistics, and proposed savings, earlier this week. "A lot of them are going solar because it saves them money."
Because of inflation, obsolete grid infrastructure, the decommissioning of power plants and upgrades to power producing facilities, current electricity prices will continue to rise, Steenbergen said, who estimated they will be two to three times bigger in the next 20 years.
In the past year, the district spent $75,572.23 in electricity for the four selected meters; Steenbergen estimates the cost with the solar panels would amount to $63,970.82, and would save the school district more than $800,000 over 20 years.
The four sites were chosen after an analysis of all the district's meters. The selected spots met all the criteria for the kilowatt-per-hour offset needed, as well space and financial standards.
Future energy needs will certainly be considered if the current proposal gains the approval of the public and board, but currently, these are the only four sites that meet the criteria, according to the district's director of business services Mark Rydberg.
There is a timeline, if the four are approved: They would need to be installed by June 26 in order to reap the benefits of financial incentives. There is no up-front cost to the district; Syndicated Solar is the developer and manages the financing by creating a fund group, which in turn owns the panels, Rydberg said.
"Essentially, the cost to the school district is that we're giving up space," facilities manager Woody Bates said earlier this week. "This is just changing how we're connected."
The first community meeting will be at 6:30 p.m., Sept. 27 at Summit Cove Elementary.

Boot all four of your horse's legs with this VenTECH™ Elite SMB Boot Value Pack from Professional's Choice®. Give your horse all-around protection with sports medicine boots at a substantial savings! These boots protect the cannon bone, tendons and soft tissues of the legs and absorb energy without affecting your horse's gaits. Made for a glove-like fit, VenTECH Boots feature limestone-based neoprene that won't crack or crumble and returns to its original shape even after thousands of uses. UltraShock™ linings breathe and conform to the contours of your horse's legs to absorb negative energy. A suspensory strap stretches with each of your horse's strides, while allowing a natural range of motion and reducing the chance of hyperextension of the fetlock. The cut-away design of the front of the boot allows for a comfortable fit when using No-Turn or Quick Wrap™ Bell Boots. A stretchable binding increases longevity and helps keep dirt out to prevent chafing.

Best Boots EVER!!
I was originally going to go with the Classic Equine Legacy boot, but a lady at the tack store near my house (who is in a drill team, barrel races and ropes) said that she uses pro choice boots since the are created to fit the horses leg. If you compare how the classic equine and pro choice look off a horse the classic equine is straight and not made to conform to a horses leg as well as it should. I've had my first pair of Pro choice elite boots for 4 years and they can still be used. I have two more already. Only thing is to go a size bigger. I had originally got mediums for my 16hh thoroughbred, and while they fit well I went to a large and feel more comfortable that his leg is "protected." These boots are well worth the price as they are great quality and they last!
Absolutely in love with these boots! they fit great, they don't let in a lot of dirt, and they are less bulky and provide a lot of support. They are definitely durable and last a long time. I have two sets and wouldn't go to any others!
It's truly a great product!!!
