BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - The Union baseball split a doubleheader with visiting Concordia (Mich.), losing Sunday's opener 6-1 and winning the finale 9-2.
The Bulldogs took three of four games to win the series and up their record to 7-5 on the year. Concordia is 1-3 overall.
Tyler Brake (Burlington, Ky.) led Union offensively in going 3-for-6 with two runs scored and a RBI.
Both teams collected a total of 14 hits apiece.
Errors plagued Union all day as the host committed seven on the day.
Game 1 - Turning Point
Union drew first blood with a run in the first inning, but the Bulldog offense dried up after that. Concordia took advantage of an error in the second in putting two runs on the board, but the Cardinals seized control of the game with a four-run sixth. During the rally, Union committed two more errors and Jeremy Robinson delivered a key two-run single to up Concordia's lead to 5-1. Chandler Sidwell scored the final run of the inning when he stole home while Robinson got caught in a rundown in getting picked off first.
Nelson Price (Burkesville, Ky.) took the loss for Union, while Garrett Keeler collected the win. Justin Thompson picked up the save for the Cardinals.
Game 2 - Turning Point
A pair of four-run innings gave the Bulldogs more than enough runs to record the 9-2 victory. Tied at 1-1 in the bottom of the second, Union started off the frame with five consecutive hits to kick off the outburst. LaVance Anderson (Bowling Green, Ky.), Brake and Price each had RBI hits, while Jared Tomany (Bryant, Wis.) scored on a Concordia error.
After the Cardinals scored a run in the top of the fourth, the Bulldogs tacked on four more runs in the bottom of the inning. Union scored the runs with only one hit as Concordia walked two batters and committed an error. Miguel Mendez (Lansing, Mich.) lined a two-run triple and then scored on a Zach Dillman (Cincinnati, Ohio) sac fly to make it 9-2.
Justin Smith (Manchester, Ky.) recorded the win, tossing 1 1/3 innings in relief, giving up no runs on no hits and one walk with a strikeout. Tyler Steele took the loss for Cardinals.
Up Next
The Bulldogs return to action Tuesday when they play host to St. Catharine (Ky.) at 2 p.m.

The Islanders trailed by as many as 20 but cut the deficit to three with 4:02 to play in the second half behind 6-of-9 three-pointers.
Senior Myeisha Myles paced the Islanders with her sixth double-digit scoring game of the season with 17 points and junior Verne'qua Taylor posted a season-high 13 points and dished out eight assists. Freshman Trish Amboree added 11 points, including 3-of-5 from three-point land.
The Islanders shot 41.9 percent from the field (26-62), 50.0 percent from behind the arc (8-16) and 44.4 percent from the charity stripe (4-9). Texas A&M - Corpus Christi's rebounding came alive in the second half, after trailing 26-13 on the boards in the first half, the Islanders outrebounded the Mustangs 25-16 in the second half. The Islanders scored 22 bench points to the Mustangs 17.
The Mustangs were also led by three players in double-digits. Alisha Filmore posted 29 points, including 7-of-11 three-pointers in 38 minutes of play. Akil Simpson and Christine Elliott each chipped in 10 points and eight rebounds apiece.
After trailing by 18 at the half, the Islanders jumpstarted the second half on an 11-0 run with 14:34 to play.

GLENDALE -- There was no shortage of Cuban cleanup hitters Tuesday at Camelback Ranch.
The A's started left fielder Yoenis Cespedes in the No. 4 slot. The Dodgers countered with Yasiel Puig, who has never played in a big league game.
Once the season starts, Cespedes will be the Oakland cleanup hitter. Puig, whom Cespedes played against in Cuba for two seasons, likely will be batting cleanup for one of the Dodgers' minor league teams.
But by the time Puig makes it to the big leagues, he may learn from Cespedes' 2012 experience and dodge many of the issues that dogged Cespedes in his debut season.
"We talked before the game," Cespedes said through interpreter Ariel Prieto. "I told him to work hard no matter where they send you, because you never know when they're going to call you up. He's a complete baseball player."
Cespedes wanted to make a big impression after signing last spring, and he spent hours working on his swing. All that work wore him down by season's end.
The left fielder has learned from that.
"He's pacing himself," manager Bob Melvin said. "He wasn't as understanding of what a 162-game schedule could do last year as he is now. He understands pace."
Cespedes still is seen as one of the hardest workers in the A's camp.
"He doesn't ease into anything," Melvin said. "That makes it our job to get him to cut back a little."
Both Cuban sluggers had good days Tuesday in the Dodgers' 7-1 win over Oakland. Puig hit a two-run homer off Dan Straily in the first inning. Cespedes led off the fifth with his second homer of the spring for the A's only run.
Melvin said one of the young starters likely will be sent to Triple-A Sacramento to make room for Colon once he becomes eligible. Straily and A.J. Griffin seem to be the pitchers on the bubble.
"We're getting one of them ready to start at Triple-A," Melvin said.
That one may be Straily, who gave up three first-inning runs and has a 6.59 ERA.
Straily was encouraged by his start, saying that he traditionally has bad springs.
"I've always made teams based on what I did the year before, not on what I do in spring training," Straily said.
Melvin is tired of seeing his team fall behind early, which as happened too often this spring.
"You can't give up three in the first," Melvin said. "You can't get two quick outs, then walk the next guy on four pitches. You can't do that. You want to see progress."
Colon, who owns an 0-2 record and 7.36 ERA this spring, hasn't impressed, but the body of work he's put together in his career (171-122, 4.05 ERA) has secured his spot in the rotation. He will pitch in a minor league game Wednesday, the final day off of the Cactus League for Oakland.
Nakajima, batting ninth for the first time this spring, went hitless in two at-bats, dropping his average to .176. He also dropped a pop fly, his fourth error of the spring.
Melvin, who has been moving Nakajima around the lineup, said he likes to have speed in the No. 9 spot, so he's giving the shortstop a look there. But if Nakajima's hitting troubles continue, he's going to have trouble securing a starting job.
The manager said he hadn't had time to talk to Nakajima about the botched popup -- whether the shortstop lost the ball in the sun or just fumbled the catch. But Melvin seemed less concerned about the offense.
"He hit a ball hard to shortstop and one not so hard to shortstop," Melvin said. "We're starting to see better (results in) batting practice. There is some progression there."

One book that changed your life:
Literature: Structure, Sound, and Sense, 3rd Edition, edited by Laurence Perrine. When I was ten or twelve years old, I asked a college professor I knew for his opinion of science fiction, and he said it wasn't literature. I then set out to find out what literature was, and another college professor gave me a copy of this book. After reading through it, I still didn't know what literature was or why science fiction wasn't it, but I had learned to look more closely at things I read than I ever had before. While now I find Perrine's approach sometimes simplistically traditional (the litcrit equivalent of trying to hammer a nail with a shotgun), nonetheless, it's still not a bad way to begin, and it opened up a realm of thinking for me that I'd never imagined existed. (And introduced me to some stories, poems, and plays that I continue to cherish.)
One book you have read more than once:
I don't tend to reread novels, unless I'm teaching them, and that generally has little to do with how much I love them (I really don't care much for The Great Gatsby, for instance, but have read it at least 10 times). Poetry I always read over and over again, often returning to writers as much for their rhythms as any particular poem -- I always try to keep a copy of some poems by Paul Celan around, also Olena Kalytiak Davis, Frank O'Hara, T.S. Eliot, Charles Simic, Robert Creeley (yes, aside from Celan I'm tremendously prejudiced in favor of 20th century American poetry; for some reason, those are the rhythms I like best). Nonfiction I seldom read straight through, but instead plunder, often repeatedly. Which I suppose means that I should choose a novel, since if I've read a novel that I have not taught multiple times, then it's likely to be a book that means a lot to me somehow. Thus, the answer is: The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner. I've taught As I Lay Dying, so have read that multiple times as well, and have reread many parts of Absalom, Absalom!, which I think is a more substantial and fascinating book, but The Sound and the Fury is the Faulkner novel that gives me the most pleasure, the only one I have, for no particular reason other than love, reread cover-to-cover three times.
One book you would want on a desert island:
If I were taking this question literally, the answer would be How to Achieve a Painless Suicide with Sand and Sun (Nick wants a book to help get off the island; I just want an excuse to die). But taking the question by the spirit that usually underlies it -- what, lacking all other stimulation for the foreseeable future, would you want to have around for a book, if you could have only one -- I'd go with one lots of people choose, a complete edition of Shakespeare, because Shakespeare's work contains just about everything I want from literature -- humor, tragedy, beautiful language, dirty jokes, action and adventure -- and there are some plays I haven't yet had a chance to read, others that I've performed in or taught, and so feel like friends.
One book that made you laugh:
Tourist Season by Carl Hiaasen. Also his Sick Puppy. Now that I think of it, I've read both of those books multiple times, and each time have laughed through the entire thing. Just seeing Hiaasen books on a shelf makes me smile. Time to read some more, in fact...
One book that made you cry:
I suppose this is as in, moved me to tears, not, "This is so badly written I can't bear it!" Lots of books make me cry, actually -- I'm a sap when it comes to stories, and even the cheesiest, stupidest, most manipulative and moronic books and movies have this potential for me -- but it's rare that it feels like a real emotion. It did happen just last week though, when in one day I devoured Ann Patchett's memoir of her friendship with Lucy Grealy, Truth & Beauty. (The basic outlines of which can be seen in this New York Magazine article, pieces of which became part of Truth & Beauty, but the vividness of the friendship requires the whole book.)
One book you wish you had written:
This almost never happens, because even if I absolutely adore a book, I don't tend to think of it as something I would do. But it did happen with Michael Cunningham's The Hours, just about the only book I've ever felt a sense of deja vu with, so many of its sentences somehow familiar, its ambitions similar to ones I have for my own writing, etc. It was both an alienating and comforting experience. I don't have any illusions that I would have or could have written The Hours in the way Cunningham did, but noneless I feel a closeness to it that I've not felt with any other book.
One book you wish had never been written:
Many people are saying Mein Kampf, and that makes a certain kind of sense, though I don't think it the nonexistence of the book itself would have alterred the course of history much. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a good choice, though, again, had it not existed some other anti-Semitic propaganda would have probably taken its place. Maybe something like The Turner Diaries, but again, I think if we follow the road of looking for a book that led to a socio-political disaster of some sort, we end up with lots of forces other than a book influencing the situation, and so the eradication of a book doesn't eradicate the situation. Instead of looking for some one book that caused terrible things to happen, what about a book that was somehow embarrassing to an otherwise good writer? None come immediately to mind with a writer I particularly care about, but I'm probably forgetting something...
One book you are currently reading:
ONE?!?!? Okay, here's one: Under the Banner of Heaven, by Jon Krakauer, as some background for reading Brian Evenson's new novel, The Open Curtain, which promises to be wonderful and harrowing.
One book you have been meaning to read:
My to-be-read piles are large -- a couple of them are three feet tall, in fact. I have great intentions of reading all sorts of things. The one I've been feeling the most guilt about not reading yet is Andrea Hairston's Mindscape, which someone thought I would very much like and so had the publisher specially send to me, and I still hope to get to it, but it's long, and I don't tend to read long novels anymore unless forced, because, well, the number of novels over 300 pages that I've found fully satisfying is probably below 10, and I get much angrier at unsatisfying long novels than unsatisfying short novels, because the long ones waste more of my time. But I do hope to get to Hairston's book, because she's an interesting writer, and Aqueduct is an interesting publisher.
These are only 9 questions, and so I'm going to add one to make it an even ten:
One book you would like to see made into a movie:
Most books I like I hope Hollywood never gets anywhere near, and most good books simply don't make particularly good movies, anyway. But I've long wanted somebody to make a thoughtful, arty movie from Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle. In fact, I've long wanted to make the movie myself, but I know if I did it, it would appeal to about 2,000 people at most, and would not make any money, so that's just never going to happen. I expect the rights have already been bought, anyway, so even if I win the lottery, it's not likely I'll be able to make this movie. Nonetheless, I hope someone a bit odd does -- for instance, I would love to see a version of The Man in the High Castle directed by Wong Kar-Wai.

Well I've encountered hardly any of these, so yet more for the TBR pile. I was particularly interested in the one that changed your life - a book on literary criticism that interested someone so young must be good.ReplyDelete

Great list - thanks.ReplyDelete
I had high hopes for Mindscape but I was underwhelmed and put it down after a hundred or so pages. The Barrier concept is interesting but the writing is fairly mundane and the plot drags. One problem was large sections written in an African-American dialect. I've never liked that technique in writing, and it has become increasingly rare. I remember all too well when Iain M Banks did an extreme dialect in 'Feersume Endjinn', but Banks can probably afford it. I was surprised to see such an elementary issue in a first novel.
I don't know if the Perrine would ever interest any other kid, but I was a geeky kid on a mission, so it consumed my life. It's a standard introduction to literature anthology; the old editions are very traditional, somewhat watered down New Criticism, but a really excellent place to begin for people with analytical minds. I've become such an inveterate postmodernist that it's easy for me to see the limitations of such an approach now and forget that learning a basic approach to image, symbolism, character, theme, etc. provides a strong foundation for a more complex and nuanced approach that includes some of the cultural and historical lenses I also like to apply.ReplyDelete
The book I really want to know what you think of, though, Clare, is George Ilsley's Manbug. I don't know why, but after reading it there were a couple people I thought of, wondering, "Love it? Hate it? How would X react?" and you were one of my X's.
Thanks Matthew and thanks very much for thinking of me - have just ordered both of them now. Looking forward to joining in the discussion at Litblog about this one.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing. I'll have to try out some of your 20th century poets.ReplyDelete

Essien and Boateng Out for Ghana Against the U.S.
The U.S. is catching a break four hours before game time. Ghana has announced that Michael Essien and Kevin Prince Boateng, two of the team's best players, are not in the starting lineup. The Ghana FA did not explain why they are not starting, though it seems likely that they are hurt, since they are two of the team's most prominent players.
Boateng scored the first goal when Ghana beat the U.S. 2-1 in the round-of-16 in South Africa in 2010.
The U.S is also going to get a break on Sunday against Portugal. Pepe, the Portuguese stalwart on defense, got a red card for headbutting Thomas Muller in their 4-0 loss to Germany and will miss the match against the U.S., and could be out for longer than that. Also, Fabio Coentrao, went off with what looked like a serious leg injury against Germany. Portugal still has Cristiano Ronaldo, but his support is likely seriously diminished.

The Waiting Room 04.02.09
Mary Mother of Jesus up a pole. The nightmare continues.
This week's well on time (as in assembled & ready) show was marred only by DCHQ's onboard navigational equipment. During the process of uploading the podfile to this here podpage the hard drive of the studio computer had a fit & went to sleep. Then it wouldn't wake up. Why won't you wake up Mr. Drive? we sobbed. But he never did say, for he were asleep.
Turns out we'd fragged something pretty major in the configuration some time ago (something to do with me pissing about in the System files & deleting suspected virus strains) & over time/use Mr. Drive slowly grew sleepier & sleepier until he could keep his eyes open no more. Unfortunately that meant the show was stuck fast in the dreams of the comatose Mr. Drive. Boo! Hiss!

HARLEM, Ga. -- "Now Channel 12, is that in color? I wonder if they're in high definition. Hi definition? Oh, hi definition," Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel impersonators joked.
It's a festival honoring two iconic names of comedy who began in the silent film era, but it's not all fun and games.
"We draw people from all over and it seems to get bigger and bigger each year," said Harlem City Manager Jason Rizner.
That means big money for little Harlem, Ga.
On a normal day, the population of this town is around 2,700 people, but for one day a year, that number swells tenfold.
"We estimate the crowd to be anywhere from 30 to 40,000 every year. For a little ole town like Harlem, that's a real big benefit," said Festival Committee Chairman and City Councilman John Thigpen.
The festival is all to honor Hardy and Laurel.
Harlem is the birthplace of Hardy and home to the only museum in the United States.
"It draws a lot of people here that wouldn't normally come to Harlem, and we think we have something special here. It's a good chance to show the town off," Rizner said.
There are a few familiar faces, however, like the two guys who travel from Canton, Ohio, to walk the festival streets of Harlem dressed up like Hardy and Oliver.
It's their 19th year playing the duo. Dale E. Walter Sr. plays Hardy and Dennis Moriarty plays Laurel.
"We can drive down here, but to go to the other museums we have to swim a lot," they said.
Another couple traveled 1,100 miles from Canada to be here.
"They have a museum in Overston, where he was born, but they just unfortunately don't have a parade like this," said big fans Bryan and Shirley Johnston.
All the festival's profits go to the town's main attractio-- the Laurel & Hardy Museum.
Between the vendors and the visitors, the money is coming in.
"Probably anywhere from $18,000 to 20,000. It funds the museum. Our museum runs by volunteers, and there are a lot of people in this city devoted to making this museum work," Thigpen said.
While this annual festival is nice, city leaders hope it may bring people to Harlem for a more permanent stay.
"Hopefully people will want to move here and live here," Thigpen said.

AIKEN, S.C. -- The Aiken Attack baseball team decked out in pink for their game in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Jordan Gunnells showed off his pink attire, saying, "They're pink and it says 'Attack Cancer.' Usually it says 'Attack.'"
The team decided to dedicate this weekend's tournament to breast cancer awareness, and they're doing it in style.
Rochelle Perry, the coach's wife, says, "They've got pink socks, pink belts, pink eye black, they're all into it! They love it!"
Players say it's a cause that hits close to home.
"This cause is really important to us because everyone on the team has been affected by it in one way or another," Perry said.
The coach's mom is a three-time survivor of breast cancer.
"It's just something special to all of us and we wanted to do something," Perry said.
Some of the players even took it upon themselves to go the extra mile and raise money for the cause.
Perry says they are hoping to donate that money to the cancer wing at Aiken Regional.
The players say the color change didn't slow them down one bit.
"It gave me motivation," Gunnells said.
And pink must have been the right play call, because the boys finished with a win.
"If pink helps, then maybe we'll do pink all the time!" Perry said.
The boys have another game Sunday, and they'll be sporting their pink jerseys again.

While it will never be confused for sexy lingerie, it's decent looking (for a high impact sports bra) and does a great job of preventing/controlling bounce.
Very comfortable, no chafing. I never put mine in the dryer. I've had several for the last year and they haven't stretched out at all.
My best advice to all women athletes (at any level) is to get fitted at Nordstrom or somewhere good so that you're wearing the correct size bra.
Then, don't settle for the wrong size in a sports bra. The s,m,l versions are only adequate for low impact or the smaller chested among us.
I learned a lot about sports bras from my local running store. They know their stuff and have real sports bras, not sports tops available for all sizes especially for me (34D to 36D). I love my Fiona and new updated Maia bra by Moving Comfort. They are so supportive and comfortable. Most pull over the head type bras haven't worked for me. Bendon Sport has a bra I used to wear until I discovered the new Maia bra. They are all about supporting active women.
I have tried numerous bras, being a size 34D is extremely hard to find good support. I love the Fiona with the adjustable straps. I also had my two daughters try it and they love it as well. I do not put any bra or stretchable material in the drier. Good luck.
I have a problem too with sports bras. I finished breast feeding and turned into a D yes a D and it won't go away. So I play tennis 3 times a week and am also looking for a good supportive sports bra that fits snug.
I am playying cardio-tennis 2 times a week and this is crucial since it is mostly running ,
and my baby cate is so cool since she will play too eventually:) .
Hi there, I'm new to this site, have been reading about the sports bras, I've tried a couple and after a few washings they seem really tight. I line dry them, is there a website for the Enell that you mentioned. Thanks, Theresa
Check out handfulinc.com. The Handful Sports Bra "flatters not flattens". It is the only bra that I wear for workouts and under everyday clothes. It is feminine, super comfortable and and very functional. It provides the support that I need without flattening or squishing me. So many sports bras make me women look like boys or like they have mono-boob. The Handful has removable pads that conceal and contour. It is the bomb. I highly recommend this bra for anyone who doesn't want to buy a bra for every event or occasion in their life. It is my one and only. You can buy them online or they are available through retailers, websites and catalogs too.
Hey girl.....
Saw your post on here from awhile back and thought I would add my suggestion. I always went to the running stores, but yeah, they always stretch out too quick.
I went to Victoria Secret and bought a Shockabsorber. They aren't available at every store, so you have to look around, but when you find one it will last for awhile.
Good luck,
I love UnderArmour even though it gives you uni-boob.it certainly does keep you from bouncing they seem to last forever! even with lots of washer and dryer time
Figured this is a 'timeless' topic so I would add in my 2cents... I am 32DD (down from DDD finally) - I get my sports bras almost exclusively from Title 9. They have several different brands and a good range of sizes - with the 1-5 barbell ratings for impact level. I love the 'thriple threat' - though it will test your flexibility a bit to get in/out of. I have also liked their 'AC' bra, which I think is a Champion. Have been really happy with their customer service as well - if you try it on and don't like it, they're easy to work with on refunds/exchanges.
I had a Moving Comfort (not sure what style) and it chafed a LOT. and wasn't adjustable enough to stop the bounce. I may look into a couple of the other suggestions given too...
My daughter was having a problem with her sports bras stretching out too. After discussing it with her, I found that:
She was wearing them two or three times between washings (yuck).
She was drying them in the dryer (probably on high heat... she's not very patient).
After she started washing them after every wearing and stopped drying them in the dryer (as a couple of other people mentioned), the bras lasted a lot longer. This may not be your problem, but I thought I would throw it out there just in case...
By the way, I have several Moving Comfort Fiona bras. They're great!!! Some of them are over a year old and are still in good shape!
My recommendations: as previously mentioned, buy your bra size not Sm, Md, Lg. Champion is by far the best I've found for support and durability. I line dry mine.I always buy a bra that fastens at the back instead of a pull on type as I saw the same thing, it stretchs out. I would highly recommend Champion Double dry distance underwire sports bra. Style # CH6209 for C & D cups and they come in a 32, which is hard to find. Gives you good shape as well no bounce. The website has a great seach engine.
Once or twice a year they have a big sale and the bras are usually $20-$25. Sign up for email newsletters. I have tried moving comfort, some Nike and continue to come back to Champion. They are also available in most sports stores too.
Hope that helps!
I have recently stumbled upon a new a sports bra made by Breeze Comfort. They claim to have a patent that enhances breathability. So, I gave it a try. I was quite skeptical at first. I am a C-D cup and natually need the support. I don't really like the very tight fit with the strap digging into my skin to provide the extra support. Typically I find having a cup inside along with good materials helps with the support. But usually it gets way too hot. To my surprise, this bra is quite comfortable. It was able to give me the support I need while keeping my breast area dry and cool. This allowed me to work out even harder.
I am the same size - where did you find the Fiona? Where can I buy one?
Running is my ME time!

AUSTIN (February 20, 2013)--The Texas Senate Wednesday confirmed Gov. Rick Perry's choice for chair of the State Board of Education, voting unanimously to allow Barbara Cargill, a Republican and former biology teacher from The Woodlands, to continue in the position.
Cargill, who has led the board since Perry initially nominated her in 2011, is the first to win confirmation for a full term since 2005.
In recent years, the board has stirred national criticism for pressing science textbook publishers to include religious concepts such as creationism.
Cargill has voted in favor of teaching what she called "weaknesses" in the theory of evolution, but in a Senate committee hearing last week, she pledged to set aside her personal beliefs when determining the curriculum taught in classrooms.

Van Pelt's qualifications as an expert
30.On Day 9 (25th January 2000) the following somewhat extraordinary exchange took place between Irving and Van Pelt:
"Q. You studied at the University of Leiden, am I correct?
"A: Yes, I did.
"Q: And you are now Professor of the History of Architecture at the University of Waterloo in Toronto?
"A: No. The issue of my appointment is kind of confusing. I am in the Department of Architecture and hence I am officially a Professor of Architecture. Your title as Professor depends on the department you are in. However, I teach in what we call the Cultural History stream, so normally, in order to prevent confusion in ordinary usage, I would call myself Professor of Cultural History because, both in my background, my PhD and my teaching duties, I teach cultural history in the architectural school. However, when I was advised about the way I had to create my curriculum vitae for this proceeding, I was told that I had been to be extremely precise in the legal sense of what I was, so again I put in Professor of Architecture.
"Mr Justice Gray: So you are really a cultural historian?
"A: I am really a cultural historian.
"Mr Irving: This is a point of some substance, my Lord. We need to know precisely what your qualifications are to offer your expertise to the court. I do not mean this in the least sense in a derogatory manner because, as I say, I have read both your book and your report with the utmost interest. However, we need to know what your areas of expertise actually are. In Britain, of course, we have the Royal Institute of British Architects. Are you familiar with the fact that it is illegal in England to call yourself an architect unless you are registered with the RIBA?
"A: That is in most countries like that, yes, I know.
"Q: In Holland, the equivalent is the Bond van Nederlandse Architecten, am I correct? I am sorry about my pronunciation.
"A: Yes, Bond van Nederlandse Architecten.
"Q : Which is the rough equivalent of the RIBA?
"A: Yes.
"Q: Am I right in saying that you are not registered with the Bond van Nederlandse Architecten?
"A: I have never had any reason to do so, since I never studied in an architectural school.
"Q: So you cannot legally pretend to be an architect, if I can put it like that?
"A: No, I could be prosecuted.
"Q: You could be prosecuted?
"A: Yes.
"Q: Rather like Mr Leuchter was prosecuted in Massachusetts for pretending to be an engineer?
"A: Yes.
"Q: You can probably see the thrust of this particular question. In other words, your expertise, as an architect, is the same as Mr Leuchter's expertise was an engineer?
"A: I do not really know. I have been teaching in architecture school now since 1984. I have taught design courses, specially in small architecture schools one needs to chip in wherever one does. I have been on architectural juries and quick sessions, mostly on a weekly, bi-weekly, kind of frequency. I did. . .
"Q: You have never learned architecture? You have never studied architecture at university? You have never taken a degree in architecture?
"A: I do not have a degree in it, but I have been confronted with the architectural practice and, apart from that, I have worked for various architects, one of them, Sir Dennis Leston, here in England, when he was designing the Synagogue in Jerusalem. I have worked with Jack Diamond in Toronto. So I have been in architectural offices very often and other practices.
"Q: And, of course, you are now advising the present Auschwitz authorities on the reconstruction, if I can put it like that, of the Auschwitz site?
"A: I was advising them, yes."
31.Even if Van Pelt has sufficient practical experience of architecture to be classified as an expert in that field, which is certainly not conceded, it is strongly submitted that Gray J erred seriously in law in admitting Van Pelt's evidence on that subject, since the Defendants adduced his evidence as a historian not an architect. On no view should Gray J have heard Van Pelt on the chemistry of fumigation and gas chambers (7.123) or the technology of crematoria (7.124). Van Pelt knows nothing whatsoever about these subjects.

Boston Globe: Tremblay - The paranoid style in N.H. politics?
The paranoid fringe, Hofstadter observed, may view itself as a lonely "avant-garde who is capable of perceiving the conspiracy." But working politicians, he argued, have a duty to keep a toehold in reality. That's something Tremblay apparently refuses to do. She can keep peddling her idiotic theories if she wants — but shouldn't do so from elected office.

SACRAMENTO -- One Republican candidate for governor is a former U.S. treasury official, a moderate who promises to create jobs and fix California's public school system. Another is a firebrand -- a conservative California assemblyman and former anti-immigrant "Minuteman" who was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2012 for having a loaded gun in his carry-on luggage at Ontario airport.
Although some California Republican leaders had seen the moderate, Neel Kashkari, as the GOP's candidate of the future in a deep blue state, tea party favorite Tim Donnelly is pummeling him, according to a surprising new Field Poll.
Thirty-four percent of likely Republican voters would pick Donnelly, R-Hesperia, while only 3 percent would vote for Kashkari.
Not surprising is that the poll finds Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown will win the June 3 open primary in a landslide, with his approval rating soaring to an all-time high of 59 percent of California voters.
Even though no Republican is likely to give Brown a true challenge in a one-on-one battle in November, the new poll suggests the California GOP continues to drift farther from the mainstream and is increasingly losing relevance as the state grows more diverse and more Democratic.
"This is a battle for the soul of the Republican Party," said Larry Gerston, a political-science professor at San Jose State. "If Donnelly prevails, it indicates that the fiscal conservatives, the evangelical conservatives and the tea party conservatives control the party and leave Republicans with little opportunity to succeed in the long run. If Kashkari can break through, it would be a sea change, and for the first time in 30 years, the party would show that it has some control of the middle."
Jim Brulte, the GOP's state party chairman who is trying to push Republicans toward the center, declined comment on Tuesday.
Brown was the choice of 57 percent of likely voters surveyed. Donnelly came in second with 17 percent, followed by Laguna Beach Mayor Andrew Blount (who has barely campaigned) at 3 percent and Kashkari at 2 percent. Twenty percent were still undecided.
With eight weeks to go until the primary election, Kashkari's campaign still needs several million dollars to launch any kind of effective statewide advertising campaign.
So far, he has raised considerably more money than other Republican candidates, and he has been actively campaigning up and down the state. He has about $903,000 in the bank, while Blount and Donnelly have about $8,000 and $10,000, respectively.
Brown, meanwhile, has amassed a war chest of close to $20 million.
Donnelly has been running a low-budget campaign since he announced his candidacy two years ago. And he's been "a genius" at reaching voters through social media and on websites like YouTube, where he has posted quirky campaign videos that have gone viral, said Allan Hoffenblum, publisher of the California Target Book, which handicaps legislative and congressional races.
Having a double-digit lead on his closest Republican challenger is "pretty encouraging," said Donnelly, who takes pride in the fact that his campaign "hasn't spent a cent on persuasion."
"There's a movement in California to unite under the banner of liberty, freedom, civil rights and privacy, and I'm leading it," Donnelly said. "I'm the underdog, but I like to call myself the underdog frontrunner."
But Hoffenblum said the poll might have an unintended, adverse effect on Donnelly's campaign because there is fear among establishment Republicans about how Donnelly's success will reflect on the chances of other GOP candidates in November.
"Donnelly has strong views on guns and immigration," Hoffenblum said. "If he's at the top of the ticket, it could do tremendous harm for people" like Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Modesto, who is locked in a tight race for re-election in his Central Valley swing district.
The Field Poll surveyed 1,000 registered voters between March 18 and April 5, including 504 voters considered likely to vote in June's primary -- in which the two top candidates, regardless of party, will advance to November. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points among registered voters and plus or minus 4.5 percentage points among likely voters.
Some political analysts said it's obviously an uphill fight for Kashkari, but he should not be counted out.
"Most voters don't know anything about Neel Kashkari other than that he has a strange-sounding name," Hoffenblum said. "This poll shows that Kashkari hasn't made any impact yet, but he also hasn't really tried or spent any money."
Maybe one encouraging sign for Kashkari is that most Californians don't seem to know much at this point about any of the GOP candidates for governor.
Half of likely voters surveyed have no opinion of Donnelly, 64 percent have no opinion of Kashkari and 71 percent have no opinion of Blount. Conversely, only 4 percent of voters have no opinion of Brown.
"We're confident we'll have the resources to communicate Neel's message of jobs and education to voters and ultimately earn their support," said Jessica Hsiang Ng, a spokeswoman for Kashkari's campaign.
But $903,000 isn't enough money to purchase the TV commercials he would need to boost his name recognition among likely voters, said Bill Whalen, a Hoover Institution fellow and a former aide to Republican Gov. Pete Wilson.
"If Kashkari wants to be successful, he'll have to find very creative ways to get out the vote on his behalf. He'll have to use social media and other tools that don't cost a lot of money," Whalen said. "Donnelly isn't uncatchable at 15 points ahead. Stranger things have happened."

What will you be doing when the Feds come a knockin
July 17, 2003
"The FBI is here,"Mom tells me over the phone. Immediately I can see my mom with her back to a couple of Matrix-like figures in black suits and opaque sunglasses, her hand covering the mouthpiece like Grace Kelly in Dial M for Murder. This must be a joke, I think. But it's not, because Mom isn't that funny.
"The who?" I say.
"Two FBI agents. They say you're not in trouble, they just want to talk. They want to come to the store."
I work in a small, independent bookstore, and since it's a slow Tuesday afternoon, I figure, "Sure." Someone I know must have gotten some government work, I think; hadn't my consultant friend spoken recently of getting rolled onto some government job? Background check, I think, interviewing acquaintances ... No big deal, right? Then, of course, I make a big deal about it in front of my co-workers.
"That was my mom," I tell them. "The FBI's coming for me." They laugh; it's a good joke, especially when the FBI actually shows up. They are not the bogeymen I had been expecting. They're dressed casually, they speak familiarly, but they are big. The one in front stands close to 7 feet, and you can tell his partner is built like a bulldog under his baggy shirt and shorts.
"You Marc Schultz?" asks the tall one. He shows me his badge, introduces himself as Special Agent Clay Trippi. After assuring me that I'm not in trouble, he asks if there is someplace we can sit down and talk. We head back to Reference, where a table and chairs are set up. We sit down, and I'm again informed that I am not in trouble.
Then, Agent Trippi asks, "Do you drive a black Nissan Altima?" And I realize this meeting is not about a friend. Despite their reassurances, and despite the fact that I haven't committed any federal offenses (that I know of), I'm starting to feel a bit like I'm in trouble.
They ask me if I was driving my car on Saturday, and I say, reasonably sure, that I was. They ask me where I went, and I struggle for a moment to remember Saturday. I make a lame joke about how the days run together when you're underemployed. They smile politely. Was I at work on Saturday? I think so.
"Were you at the Caribou Coffee on Powers Ferry?" asks Agent Trippi. That's where I get my coffee before work, and so I tell him yes, probably, just before remembering Saturday: Harry Potter day, opening early, in at 8:30.
So I would have been at Caribou Coffee that Saturday, getting my small coffee, room for cream. This information seems to please the agents.
"Did you notice anything unusual, anyone worth commenting on?" OK, I think. It's the unusual guy they want, not me. I think hard, wondering if it was Saturday I saw the guy in the really cool reclining wheelchair, the guy who struck me as a potential James Bondian supervillain, but no: That was Monday.
Then they ask if I carried anything into the shop -- and we're back to me.
My mind races. I think: a bomb? A knife? A balloon filled with narcotics? But no. I don't own any of those things. "Sunglasses," I say. "Maybe my cell phone?"
Not the right answer. I'm nervous now, wondering how I must look: average, mid-20s, unassuming retail employee. What could I have possibly been carrying?
Trippi's partner speaks up: "Any reading material? Papers?" I don't think so. Then Trippi decides to level with me: "I'll tell you what, Marc. Someone in the shop that day saw you reading something, and thought it looked suspicious enough to call us about. So that's why we're here, just checking it out. Like I said, there's no problem. We'd just like to get to the bottom of this. Now if we can't, then you may have a problem. And you don't want that."
You don't want that? Have I just been threatened by the FBI? Confusion and a light dusting of panic conspire to keep me speechless. Was I reading something that morning? Something that would constitute a problem?
The partner speaks up again: "Maybe a printout of some kind?"
Then it occurs to me: I was reading. It was an article my dad had printed off the Web. I remember carrying it into Caribou with me, reading it in line, and then while stirring cream into my coffee. I remember bringing it with me to the store, finishing it before we opened. I can't remember what the article was about, but I'm sure it was some kind of left-wing editorial, the kind that never fails to incite me to anger and despair over the state of the country.
I tell them all this, but they want specifics: the title of the article, the author, some kind of synopsis, but I can't help them -- I read so much of this stuff.
"Do you still have the article?" Probably not, but I suggest we check behind the counter. When that doesn't pan out, I have the bright idea to call my dad at work, see if he can remember. Of course, he can't put together a coherent sentence after I tell him the FBI are at the store, questioning me.
"The FBI?" he keeps asking. Eventually I get him off the phone, and suggest it may be in my car. They follow me out to the parking lot, where Trippi asks me if there's anything in the car he should know about.
"Weapons, drugs? It's not a problem if you do, but if you don't tell me and then I find something, that's going to be a problem." I assure him there's nothing in my car, coming very close to quoting Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite: "There's nothin' in my trunk, man."
The excitement of the questioning -- the interrogation -- has made me just a little bit giddy. I almost laugh out loud when they ask me to pop my trunk.
There's nothing in my car, of course. I keep looking anyway, while telling them it was probably some kind of what-did-they-know-and-when-did-they-know-it article about the buildup to Gulf War II. Trippi nods, unsatisfied. I turn up some papers from the University of Georgia, where I'm about to begin as a grad student. He asks me what I'm going to study.
"Journalism," I say. As I duck back into the car, I hear Agent Trippi informing his partner, "He's going to UGA for journalism" in a way that makes me wonder whether that counts against me.
Back in the store, Trippi gives me his card and tells me to call him if I remember anything. After he's gone, I call my dad back to see if he has calmed down, maybe come up with a name. We retrace some steps together, figure out the article was Hal Crowther's "Weapons of Mass Stupidity" from the Weekly Planet, a free independent out of Tampa. It comes back to me then, this scathing screed focusing on the way corporate interests have poisoned the country's media, focusing mostly on Fox News and Rupert Murdoch -- really infuriating, deadly accurate stuff about American journalism post-9-11. So I call the number on the card, leave a message with the name, author and origin of the column, and ask him to call me if he has any more questions.
To tell the truth, I'm kind of anxious to hear back from the FBI, if only for the chance to ask why anyone would find media criticism suspicious, or if maybe the sight of a dark, bearded man reading in public is itself enough to strike fear in the heart of a patriotic citizen.
My co-worker, Craig, says that we should probably be thankful the FBI takes these things seriously; I say it seems like a dark day when an American citizen regards reading as a threat, and downright pitch-black when the federal government agrees.
Special Agent Trippi didn't return calls from CL. But Special Agent Joe Parris, Atlanta field office spokesman, stressed that specific FBI investigations are confidential. He wouldn't confirm or deny the Schultz interview.
"In this post-911 era, it is the absolute responsibility of the FBI to follow through on any tips of potential terrorist activity," Parris says. "Are people going to take exception and be inconvenienced by this at times? Oh, yeah. ... A certain amount of convenience is going to be offset by an increase in security."

This is a bogus story. It has to be...
A dangerous thing about the internet seems to be all the left-wing idiots (who can be just as stupid as the right wing idiots) making this kind of shit up to stir the pot.
So they are saying he was reading an article about weapons of mass stupidity and someone called the FBI??? Who the fuck calls the FBI over an article some kid is reading at a coffee place?
I dont believe this story for a minute.

You don't think things like this happen?
You don't think people actually call the FBI about things like this?
I know a muslim woman who had her date book turned into the FBI because there was a bookmark on 9/11.
She wa sin the library when it was taken from her.
This is not an isolated incident.

I doubt it was so much the article that got him in trouble as much as being a dark bearded man. What were those vague words Ashcroft has been using "be on the lookout for suspicious individuals"? AKA Arabs (or 'darkies' as Ashcroft uses privately) who look like they might be reading something educational.
Chances are, if this story is indeed true, some patron probably saw a dark skinned guy and the title of the article.
Does this make it ok? Absolutely not, if I had been standing in line reading something by Arriana Huffington at a coffee shop I'd probably be making conversation about it and wouldn't be bothered again. I like calling Bush an idiot in public.

Look... I am as weary and paranoid about the government as the next guy, fuck that, more than the next guy. I do think the FBI does stuff like this, but this story is totally bogus, I'm sorry. The problem with liberals (myself included) is that we never seem to think other liberals are liars or have their own agenda. We think "wow, liberals are all smart and wonderful in the face of the evil republicans"... most of these sites are run by conspiracy theory loving, 20 yr old ex-punk rock anarchist kids (or the one of those liberal british nutty asses) I gurantee that. The story is fake. Do I think the FBI is nice and WOULDNT do this? No, they would. But the story is fake.... I have a sixth sense about these things. And I would take anything you read off that site with a grain of salt.
These new extreme left websites are cool as hell.... very fun to look at, but they cite about as many reliable sources as those fun ufo sites. They are probably run by the same people.

In fact, I went back to the link just now and realized they didn't even print the writer's name. They probably got this in an email and decided to put it on the site.
You also have to realize that the people running that site could give a rat's ass about this governmental shit. They are selling dvds and t-shirts like the rest of us smart internetted americans. The irony is that what they are doing is whoring our paranoia to sell dvds.... which is as american as it gets. Bush would love that site.

I appreciate your cynicism.
It is needed in times like this.
I recieved this story in an email, and knowing what I know...I figured it was true. There's no need to fake a story like this. There just isn't. If the writer decided to fake this tory in order to communicate a truth, they need to see the big picture. It hurts more than it helps.

The guy (Alex Jones) seems pretty credible. Written for The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Dallas Morning News, The Los Angeles Times, The Austin-American Statesman, and The Austin Chronicle.
I'm willing to wager if he has that kind of reputation, he wouldn't be willing to jeopardize his career over one article, especially one that could EASILY be proven false.

I am weary of any site or base of information that only looks at one side of any given story and then when they are done giving that side they try to hawk dvds and t-shirts.
This guy may have written for some esteemed periodicals, but come on, having that site AT ALL is basis for his writing career to be fucked, at least in america. The guy is shady.... I think there is a british attitude towards america that is condescending and lacking of respect and I find it creepy that a british guy tells us how america is and then asks for our money.
There are probably plenty of factoids on that site that are for real.. but most of it seems to be knee-deep in this weird part of our minds that like to believe anything that falls outside of our safety net reality. I mean, you'll see a blurry ass ufo picture and part of your brain WANTS to believe it even though its obvious that its nothing. I think this same brain functioning is happening with these left wing political sites. This shit is the antithesis to the right wing wackos who believe that there is a huge underground satanic/gay conspiracy to undermine morality... they have no real proof of any of this... but it seems logical to them and it's a good movie to live in. and so they go with it.
And if the government is half as evil as he says, I gurantee you you wont find any real information about the truth on some website.

I just took a look at Billy's link on this guy. It's very cryptic.... I seem to be reading that he has been involved with all of these esteemed papers and shows because of his site and beliefs... and NOT because he was an esteemed journalist who recently decided to TELL THE REAL TRUTH.
If he was involved with those papers because of the site then that is not a valid reason to think he is credible at all, right? They are just reporting his views right? If I read it wrong then my bad, I have a tendency to skim over the details.

What would I do? Be as direct with them as they were inderect with me. Be a smartass when they threatened me...
"Do you have anything in your car we should know about"
"I have 20 Kilos of Heroin, but that's under the passenger seat, not in 'plain view'"
I'm NEVER scared of authority when I KNOW I've done nothing wrong. Then I'd probably write an artical and post it somewhere.

Christian school sale moves forward
Published: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 5:53 p.m.
Stalled since November by a bureaucratic review, the county's purchase of the former Hendersonville Christian School is expected to be finalized today thanks to the intervention of N.C. Sen. Tom Apodaca.
"Thanks to the help of Sen. Apodaca, it looks like we'll be able to close on this property this week," County Manager Steve Wyatt said Wednesday, adding that the N.C. Attorney General's Office had given the sale its "conditional approval" to move forward.
Commissioners authorized the $910,000 purchase in October and had hoped to close on the property in November, in order to begin $1.01 million in improvements necessary to turn the closed school into a new athletics and activity center.
But the deal was stymied when the county learned that the school's nonprofit owners could not dispose of their assets without approval from the Attorney General's Office. That process usually takes 30 days, but under state law, the Attorney General's Office can extend its review to gather more information. Negotiations between state attorneys and school owners dragged on, despite repeated pleas from County Attorney Russ Burrell for a compromise that would allow the sale to move forward.
On Jan. 16, the delay went from being inconvenient to threatening the sale's closing altogether. TD Bank officials gave the county notice that they wanted the deal closed within 10 days or they would withdraw their approval of the school's short sale to the county and would resume foreclosing on the 9.45-acre property on South Grove Street.
Apodaca said he'd asked Andrew Tripp, counsel to the N.C. Senate Rules Committee chairman, to intervene on behalf of the county "a couple of weeks ago. We were under the assumption it was moving then." But after reading a Times-News article about TD Bank's ultimatum, Apodaca said, "we turned the heat up a little more and said, 'Please get this done.' Sometimes bureaucracies take a little longer than we like. With a little encouragement, it tends to move a little quicker."
If the sale goes through as planned, county officials expect the former school's 15,700-square-foot gymnasium to open for basketball, volleyball and other activities by late winter or early spring.
A 2007 facility needs assessment conducted by the county found that population growth had boosted demand for more green spaces and recreational facilities, with a soccer complex and recreation center among the greatest needs identified. Commissioners picked up the former school property, including a regulation athletic field, for $290,000 below its listed price.
"I think it's a great opportunity for the county and I'd hate to see them lose it," said Apodaca.

FRESNO -- Forward David Lee is certain he has another level to reach. If he does, that's good news for the Warriors. But it seems they'll be fine with the same player to whom they've grown accustomed.
"If he does what he did last year as consistent as he did," point guard Stephen Curry said, "with the additions we've made around him, he'll be that much better of a player and hopefully it will lead to more wins. All he has to do is continue that level of play."
Lee led the Warriors with 19 points and seven rebounds in Golden State's 110-93 win over the host Los Angeles Lakers at the Save Mart Center at Fresno State. The Warriors put the game away with a 35-0 second-half run after by seven at the half.
At this point, Lee is the only sure thing among the Warriors core. Curry, who was held out of Sunday's game by coach Mark Jackson, and center Andrew Bogut are overcoming injury issues. Second-year guard Klay Thompson, albeit promising, is still relatively unproven, and coach Mark Jackson has yet to choose a starting small forward.
Jackson raved about Lee's leadership and work ethic since the players began working out together in early September.
That leaves Lee as the one money chip Jackson can bank on. His teammates said he's an even bigger presence in the locker room this year, telling jokes and giving encouragement. He's often the catalyst behind team bonding activities.
While his presence is important, Golden State will need his production. If returns to health by Curry and Bogut improve the Warriors starting five, Lee likely won't average 20.1 points and 9.6 rebounds, as he did last season. He likely won't be called on to play 37.2 minutes per game.
But will he defend his position? Will he be a reliable option on offense in crunchtime?
"I know when the season goes on, I'm going to make my presence felt," said Lee, 29, entering his eighth season. "It's a matter of finding a way to do it in a team concept to win."
Lee is healthy after successful surgery in April to repair a torn abdominal muscle, and Jackson said Lee is in great shape. For the first time in his career, he'll be playing next to a legitimate center in Bogut. And he's playing for a team with legitimate playoff hopes.
Still, Sunday's game probably felt like last season. With Curry and Bogut out, rookie Festus Ezeli started at center and Jarrett Jack replaced Curry at point guard. That left Lee as the primary big man, which was the case last year for the injury-riddled Warriors.
"It had nothing to do with how he looks," Jackson said. "He looks great. He's done everything we've asked him to do from the day after Labor Day. He's in great shape. We play home Monday in front of our fans, and I thought that would be the better place to play."
Curry, who missed 40 games last season and had arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle in April, hasn't played an NBA game since March. He was limited the first three practices as Jackson sought to protect his ankle. Saturday, Curry went the entire practice for the first time. He said his ankle feels fine.
