WAREHAM — Three people were injured, including one seriously, early Friday in a three-vehicle, head-on crash involving a wrong-way driver on Interstate 495, state police said.
The wrong-way operator has been identified as Kevin H. Schmidt, 24, of Middleboro, according to state police.
Schmidt, who was seriously injured in the crash, was transported to Tobey Hospital, then transferred by medical helicopter to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. A hospital spokeswoman said at 4 p.m. he was in serious condition.
He was operating a 2004 Ford Ranger pickup truck, state police said.
The other operators have been identified as Lise B. Calixte, 26, of Randolph, and Eileen M. O'Donnell, 48, of Falmouth, state police said.
Calixte was operating a 2012 Nissan Sentra sedan. She was transported by ambulance to Rhode Island Hospital, according to state police. A hospital spokeswoman said at 3:30 p.m. Friday she was in good condition.
O'Donnell, who was driving a 1996 Geo Prizm sedan, suffered minor injuries and wasn't hospitalized, state police said.
State police said the crash happened shortly after midnight on the northbound side of the highway. The wrong-way driver was traveling south in the northbound lane, according to state police.
Troopers from the Bourne State Police Barracks are investigating why Schmidt was traveling the wrong way on the highway.

text: From the blog: In my 32 years I've not seen anything like the current atmosphere here in the US and even the rest of the world. The best single word for it seems to be HOPE. Late Tuesday night after the election results confirmed Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States of America the scene was simply amazing. Spontaneous celebrations erupted around the country. People celebrated from the White House to Times Square and even here in the relatively small city of Flagstaff, Arizona, people drove around honking car horns, screaming for joy and celebrations erupted in downtown. The next day came as a daze of 'I can't believe it really happened' and millions felt a true hope for the future of our country that has been missing. Now, I'm much more of a realist than an idealist and I fully realize that the US is still a very divided country. However, this is nothing like any election I've experienced in my lifetime and the hope that those I know and that I feel myself cannot be denied. It seems much of the world feels the same way. In this post-9-11 world things have changed. This change is reflected in all walks of life and science fiction has certainly embraced the reality. Look at everything from Ken Macleod's The Execution Channel to Cowboy Angels by Paul McAuley and from Cory Doctorow's Little Brother to David J. Williams' Mirrored Heavens. Science Fiction writers have taken stock of the world and look toward an ominous future. So, I ask does the election of Barack Obama change the game. Will Obama really change things or will he be more of the same for the US and the world? How will science fiction writers address the hope that permeates much of the world – at least temporarily? I really am curious to hear from readers, writers, editors, and others. I suspect that any change will be some time in coming, less than hoped for, and that it's too premature to see how science fiction will react, if it reacts at all. But, I still feel that hope and it cannot be denied.

Qualifying Report: Iowa Corn Indy 250
NEWTON, Iowa June 22, 2013—Takuma Sato qualified seventh for the Iowa Corn Indy 250 today at Iowa Speedway but he will start 16th. He is one of six drivers who incurred a 10-spot grid penalty for an unapproved engine change. Despite the 17th place start, the 7th place qualifying run is the best yet for the ABC Supply team; its previous best qualifying effort was 13th in 2011.
Sato had to cut his morning practice short by 10 minutes when an engine issue arose, and upon further investigation, the Honda engineers ordered the engine change. Because the new engine was installed before qualifying, the penalty was applied to this race. Had the engine been changed after qualifying, the penalty would have affected the following race.
The ABC Supply team was under the gun to switch out the engines and make appropriate setup changes in just under 2.5 hours so they could make it to INDYCAR tech inspection before taking their place in the qualifying line.
The crew came through and Sato clocked a one lap qualifying speed of 182.3mph which was 10th quickest of the 24-car field. That speed wasn't fast enough to make it to the final of three heats - only the top six were taken from the round of one-lap qualifying.
Sato lined up outside pole sitter Scott Dixon in the first 50-lap heat race. He was challenged early on by Alex Tagliani but held him off and in the final half of the race he was closing in on leader Dixon. Sato finished second which allowed him (and Dixon) to transfer to the final (and third) heat which would set the grid for the top 10. Graham Rahal won the second 50-lap heat race and Ed Carpenter finished second so they transferred to the final heat also. The finish of the rest of the cars in the first two heat races determined the bottom half of the starting grid.
In the final heat race, Sato started 10th (last) and moved up to eighth early but then faded back to 10th before halfway. However, with 20 laps to go he began to move to the front but the leaders had opened up a large gap. Sato made it as high as seventh, nipping Tony Kanaan in the last five laps.
"It was a good day I think considering that we had to change the engine," said Sato. "We still qualified in the top 10. The qualifying heat races were quite productive for the ABC Supply team. I think we still need to find a little bit more speed for tomorrow, but I think running the two heat races worked well for us in terms of understanding the car better than if we had just run the final heat race."
Sato felt that running in the second heat race gave them a chance to make some changes on the car which did improve the car's handling. Don Halliday and his team of engineers which includes Raul Prados -- and Buddy Blackburn this weekend—will be poring over the data this evening to come up with further improvements for tomorrow's main event.
Helio Castroneves won the Verizon P1 Pole Award by winning the final heat race in his Chevrolet-powered car. Second through sixth were: Will Power (Chevy), James Hinchcliffe (Chevy), Marco Andretti (Chevy), Scott Dixon (Honda), Ed Carpenter (Chevy).
Sunday's race will be televised live by ABC-TV starting at 2:30 p.m. ET. The No. 14 ABC Supply car will have an in-car camera for this race. Race fans with Verizon Wireless as their wireless carrier will be able to access the Sato in-car camera on their mobile device through the INDYCAR 13 app.

I've never heard the term Hagsploitation before today but I think I might like it. Basically it's in reference to those mean old birds we love to hate in some of our favorite horror films, and tomorrow night at the 92Y Tribeca Screening Room they'll finally get the praise they deserve, or demand if you will.
The event will feature clips from 9 different movies as well as an appearance by none other then Lorna Raver. She'll be discussing her role in "Drag Me To Hell" and hopefully explain what it was like to see herself on screen vomiting formaldehyde.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - If there's one kind of comfort food that could never be overdone, pizza just might be it. When it comes to a doughy, cheesy, saucy and scrumptious pie in the morning noon or night, it doesn't matter if there's one on every corner - pizza business is good business. So, how exactly do we join hands in this delightful epiphany and spread our love for pie across the Village?
Enter David Dugan and Scott Calliham, the sires behind our beloved Base Camp and now Slice - the newest and first-ever pizza joint to open its doors in Base Village. Simply make your way over to the base, look for the red barn, take the elevator or stairs up to the top and voilà - a premium selection of homemade pizzas and Italian recipes await you. Don't feel like moving from the couch? Pick up the phone and give them a call at 970-923-APIE. They deliver from the Mall all the way down to Highway 82.
Oh OK, so you need a preview of the what's in store before you make a commitment? I gotcha. Let's start with the vibe. Deep reds are paired with dark browns and beiges, separated by a light wooden floor and walnut-colored tables topped with spices and wooden spinners to hold the pies. A collection of Polaroid pictures line the walls like a memory of your favorite college hangout, and a full bar with tapped kegs, premium liquors and wines opens to a kitchen emanating a bouquet of fresh tomatoes, herbs and seasonings.
Need a rundown on the menu? I'll let Slice owner David Dugan take it from here.
Snowmass Sun: Can you describe the ingredients of the appetizer and pizza you made for me today? What other dishes do you offer?
David Dugan: The appetizer is called "Antipasto Gigante," and it's a plate of prosciutto, capicola, salami, buffalo mozzarella, peppers, artichoke hearts, pickled vegetables and Italian bread. The pizza is called The Mammoth, and it's made with Italian sausage, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, meatballs and crispy prosciutto with our signature Italian sauce. Our dishes are recipes passed down through generations, including crab and cremini al forno, a spicy meatball sub, ravioli Bolognese and much more.
SS: As far as recipes and ingredients go, who do you give credit to? What do you think separates Slice from other pizza places?
DD: I give a lot of credit to our head chef Shaun Perry. He has an extensive Italian background and helped us come up with a lot of the dishes and pizza combinations that aren't just delicious, but original and distinct. I think the main thing that separates us is we aren't just another pizza place that has some other stuff on the menu, but an Italian restaurant that specializes in pizza.
SS: Obviously Base Camp and Slice are very different entities. What made you and Scott Calliham come up with the concept to open a pizza place?
DD: With the recent closing of Goodfellows, we found there to be a need for not just a pizza place, but a restaurant in Base Village that is family-friendly and serves really high-quality food. Some of the kitchen guys from Goodfellows (Chase and Andrew Bowlby, Jed Goodwin, and Bailey Sansom) actually came on board with us as well, which brings a really great dynamic to Slice.
SS: How do you think Slice compares to the other pizza places in the Village?
DD: When it comes to pizza, I think there's always room for one more. It's not really a matter of competition in my eyes. We have a good relationship with all of them. Obviously we want to be the best we can be, but that's not to say the others aren't doing a great job too.
SS: What would you say you are most proud of so far at Slice?
DD: I would say our desserts. With homemade cannolis, tiramisu and fresh-baked cookies from our pastry chef Ben Hollister, I think we have the best desserts in the Village. Also, with a lot of space, a nice wine selection and a comfortable atmosphere, we are receiving a lot of good feedback from locals and guests. On the other hand, we've only been open for a month, so we're not giving one another high fives yet - we are always looking for ways to improve and get better.

Chances are you aren't around when your child's eating lunch at school.
That can pose a problem if they're allergic to certain foods or they need to back off the brownies.
News 12's Meredith Taylor is on your side with the Richmond County school district's solution.
Lunchtime at Glenn Hills Elementary School means a bunch of hungry children.
Diane Winstead, lunchroom manager for Glenn Hills, says that school has several children with milk or corn allergies.
The Richmond County school district has a way of taking care of those students.
When they come through the line and punch in their last four digits of their social security number, a screen pops up to alert cafeteria workers the children can't have certain foods.
Parents can also cut out high fat foods.
Joe Brandenburg, Nutrition Coordinator for Richmond County, explains, "Well if a parent has concern about the number of calories a child is consuming in school, that is an approach for them to be able to use that."
In some school districts across the county, parents can go online and make changes to what children can and can't eat. But that's not the case in Richmond County.
"It's merely a security issue so it normally is done with a parent communication with the school nutrition manager and then the school nutrition manager goes in and makes changes that are appropriate," says Mr. Brandenburg.
Richmond County's tracking's been in place for 6 years.
You'll need a note from the doctor to put some foods on the list, because they may take away from nutritional requirements.

Paper Chase
Lung stem cell differentiation in mice directed by endothelial cells via a BMP4-NFATc1-thrombospondin-1 axis.
Stem Cell Program, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA 02115, USA; Harvard Stem Cell Institute, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA; Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA. Electronic address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lung stem cells are instructed to produce lineage-specific progeny through unknown factors in their microenvironment. We used clonal 3D cocultures of endothelial cells and distal lung stem cells, bronchioalveolar stem cells (BASCs), to probe the instructive mechanisms. Single BASCs had bronchiolar and alveolar differentiation potential in lung endothelial cell cocultures. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments showed that BMP4-Bmpr1a signaling triggers calcineurin/NFATc1-dependent expression of thrombospondin-1 (Tsp1) in lung endothelial cells to drive alveolar lineage-specific BASC differentiation. Tsp1 null mice exhibited defective alveolar injury repair, confirming a crucial role for the BMP4-NFATc1-TSP1 axis in lung epithelial differentiation and regeneration in vivo. Discovery of this pathway points to methods to direct the derivation of specific lung epithelial lineages from multipotent cells. These findings elucidate a pathway that may be a critical target in lung diseases and provide tools to understand the mechanisms of respiratory diseases at the single-cell level.

The new Tossaball Plush Puppy juggle ball from Flying Clipper is our new hands and feet juggle ball. Peter Irish is the master of hands and feet juggling and here is what he has to say:
"The Flying Clipper Plush Puppies are one of best juggling balls on the market for hands and feet juggling. This is the ball I have been searching for for years. Once I got a hold of them, I immediately retired my old balls, and began using these full time. The require virtually no break-in, are a great consistency for stalls and body catches, yet they retain their roundness and don't "pancake". These balls are undoubtedly the best resource for any juggler who wants to integrate the hands and feet together in their juggling. The colors are some of the brightest and most beautiful of any juggling balls I've ever seen, which is so important for performing. I have used these balls in several shows and dozens of performances and have been completely satisfied. As well as all this, they are FUN to juggle, and have a feel like no other ball. I am grateful to Flying Clipper (and amazed) for creating a ball that exceeds my expectations for exactly what I do. I completely recommend these balls for any type of juggling, and especially for my specialty of juggling with the hands and the feet at the same time. Huge thanks to Flying Clipper!"

STOCKTON - Rail officials meeting Friday will consider sending 10 special trains a year to see NFL games at the new 49er stadium in Santa Clara County.
The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission is scheduled to discuss approving the concept of adding the special trains at its regular meeting in Stockton.
The commission owns and operates the Altamont Corridor Express, which links Stockton to San Jose. It's a weekday service but has run special trains in the past on weekends to take passengers to Oakland Raiders and Oakland A's games.
Rail Commission approval won't solidify a deal to bring the train to two preseason and eight home games next season, but it would approve the concept.
The commission is also considering a rate hike for the ACE train's weekday service at the meeting.
The meeting is at 8 a.m. Friday in the South Hall Meeting Room at Robert J. Cabral Station, 949 East Channel St. in Stockton.

Is playground equipment safe in Dallas parks?
Easter Sunday at the park: crowds, trash from the egg hunts — and a scary swing set failure.
I took this picture with my phone yesterday after arriving at Lindsley Park in East Dallas. The set's top steel bar had broken in half near a weld.
No one, as far as I could tell, had been hurt. But man, the potential is obvious.
Now the questions: Who made this thing? Is the same type of equipment in other Dallas parks? How often is it inspected? Does the city's Park and Recreation Department have an inspection plan?
Answers, anyone? Send me an e-mail or join the conversation by commenting below.

Hey guys, I tried looking back a bit on Ewing's forums & didn't see an official thread.
What is the final word about Ewing during, and post construction next year?

Will there actually be a course redesign?

About Chimkhole
Chimkhola (Nepali: चीमखोला) is a village development committee in Myagdi District in the Dhawalagiri Zone of western-central Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 1456 people living in 270 individual households.[1]
Sheer Gaun, was the name of present Chimkhola because there was no habitation till the foot of Mount Dhaulagiri and as, Sheer refers to the starting so was called Sheer Gaun. Then the area had a huge forest and a river (now Bagarkhola) flowed in the middle of the forest. The forest was so dense that even in daylight the area was "Chim" (Dark) and as there was "Khola" river so people who came here started calling it Chimkhola. And people started living in the north MANGALEKHANE and was no longer the sheer gaun so the name CHIMKHOLA became its name.
With 8925 hectares, 77% of land covered with river and forest whereas remaining part cultivated Chimkhola has its own importance in the hills of Myagdi District. Gaun at the heart of sloppy mountain beneath the shady Raniban where Ghoral, Ratuwa and many birds share common habitat has a beautiful and calm morning, fabulous successful day and safe secure night. It shares its border with Bega in the east, Darmija in the south, Pakhapani in the west and Mangale in the North. With many everlasting beautiful places like Panidakne Dada, Sarakhola, Raghuganga, Gaun Khola, etc. it can fascinate any nature loving human towards it.
The history of this place is hidden and difficult to encrypt as the written chronological are not found. How the human settlement began in this place is only a verbal tradition as told by the ancestors to their descendants.
In 1560 BS (1504 AD), when there used to many tiny Baiyesa and Chaubesi Rajya(state). Then Malla Dynasty, King Dibambam Malla had his administrative offices at Benighat and his capital was Dholthan (it was in the north of Beni Bazaar and now is called Pulachaur VDC). Security was the main subject, as many disputes rose between these tiny sates often so any unknown faces were strictly watched. One day two new guys at Benighat used their magical power to cook food and the king knew this through his detectives. They were then summoned by the king and asked to perform their Magical power. Then they asked for a big and a small log; lied the bigger and erected the small above it, by rotating one upon other produce the fire.

Doomtree's Cecil Otter finds his voice apart from the rap pack
Sage Francis' label picks up Otter's 2008 release, Rebel Yellow
By Kathryn Savage

Doomtree crew member and Sage Francis's newest labelmate Cecil Otter
Five years ago, Kyle Smith, known throughout the Twin Cities as Doomtree's MC/producer Cecil Otter, started working on a solo album. Walking through lonely Minneapolis streets, working odd jobs, eavesdropping on coffee-shop flirtations and strangers' punch lines, he slowly compiled the words and beats that would become 2008's Rebel Yellow. But before the album with the hypnotic wordplay could receive well-deserved praise, before Smith could perform his latest in front of swaying, front-row fanstwo and a half years before, to be exacthis computer killed his baby.
"I had [Rebel Yellow] finished and I lost all the files for it, all the beats I madeeverything on the computer," Smith explains. Roughly 16 record samples went into each beat. "I didn't get any of the beats back, so I had to re-create it all from scratch."
While most people would get drunk, buy an external hard drive, and say fuck it, Smith kept making beats. For Smith, recreating Rebel Yellow from scratch distilled the essence of the album. "It was kind of a blessing in disguise, because it gave me a chance to renew my idea of what I wanted to do with music," he says. "I always try to go somewhere different. I want to write very true songstrue to myself. Like, more romantic, very epic music."
Once unknown outside the Twin Cities, Doomtree and its nine members are building a national audience. In 2006, Doomtree MC P.O.S. released his second LP, Audition, to favorable reviews. In 2008, Orange County's OC Weekly praised Doomtree's self-titled album as "one of the most assured hip-hop efforts of 2008." Last winter, Cecil Otter signed to Sage Francis's record label, Strange Famous Records, who rereleased Rebel Yellow two weeks ago. Now, the album is available in record stores throughout the United States and Canada. "It was getting pushed in Minneapolis, we did a digital distrolike on iTunesbut this will go much further," he says. "More people will be able to hear about it and give it a listen, and it's very rewarding."
Images of boxcars, unchained wolves, and "pretty perverts" grace Rebel Yellow, a lyrical menagerie bleeding sadness that settles in your bones. Smith's music is a loner's enterprise: a whiskey-waltz, more Woody Guthrie than Eazy-E. "I always liked Kerouac and Bukowski, and reading the Woody Guthrie autobiography was really touching," Smith explains. "I like people who keep it simple and just tell the story right and highlight the pretty pointsthe points where they hurt, and kind of make that hurt seem beautiful somehow."
Smith is the son of a hot-rod mechanic, and he grew up repairing aged cars and listening to outdated music with his dad. "I was always really impressed by old photos and the way they looked. Whenever I see rusty old cars, I get really happy." Smith first encountered hip-hop culture when he was six years old. "I remember seeing these dudes doing graffiti onstage, someone was rapping, and it just looked like so much fun. I was listening to a lot of rock, but there was something electric about this. I started practicing head spins; I would take the zipper on my sweater and drag it up and down to make this scratching sound like I was doing a turn table scratch."
When Smith was eight, his 14-year-old sister ran away from home, leaving him a box of rap tapes. "They were all labeled something different because my dad didn't like the explicit lyrics. She had written, like, Bon Jovi and Tesla on the tapes so he didn't see that it was NWA and Eazy-E. I learned every single word and started trying to write my own stuff. Eventually my sister came back, and she'd show me off to all of her friends, like, "My little brother knows all of Eazy-E's albums! Watch!"
Earlier this year, Doomtree MC Dessa Darling published her first collection of poems and short stories, Spiral Bound, under Doomtree's printing press. The release party for her confessional, intimate debut took place at the Guthrie Theater on an ice-slick February night. Dessa shared the stage with Doomtree's Cecil Otter and DJ Paper Tiger. Later this year, Otter's second Strange Famous album, Porcelain Revolver, will be released. Smith wants to create a graphic novel based on this album.
It is perhaps unfair to call Doomtree a hip-hop crew. Doomtree is a growing enterprise: a record label, a printing press, a team of artists, writers, and musicians whose unity is explicitnever threatened by individual pursuits. In their own words, "Doomtree is a family."
"We want to do one power Doomtree set a year, all of us on stage together," Smith explains. "But we are all so individual within the crew, I think it was healthy for everyone to kind of just concentrate more on themselves for a while."

BERKELEY -- One year after a cancer scare, life is good for Cal basketball coach Mike Montgomery. He is healthy, on the verge of signing an excellent recruiting class and ready to begin practice with a team expected to compete near the top of the Pac-12 Conference.
The mood was different at this time last year.
"It's frightening, especially when something comes from nowhere," said Montgomery, 65, who was diagnosed with bladder cancer just before the start of practice last season.
He underwent surgery Oct. 19 and was declared cancer-free and was able to work the entire season. But Montgomery knows it could have gone the other way.
"It's taken out of your hands. You're at the mercy of this thing," Montgomery said. "It could have been that I had no control. You just don't know what's going to happen.
"People all over the place are fighting for their lives with cancer. And you certainly have some empathy for that because it could have been me."
Both of Montgomery's parents died of cancer in their 70s, and he said his episode with the disease was a reminder of life's unpredictability.
"It alerts you to the fact that this is not a given, that you don't have forever," he said. "But I've always felt that way, based on my parents dying relatively young."
With practice starting Friday, Montgomery begins his fifth season at Cal. He will coach at least through the 2015-16 season, if he chooses, after signing a contract extension last summer.
Two decades ago, he'd never have imagined staying this long. He spent 18 successful seasons at Stanford, then gave the NBA a try. But the Warriors fired him after two seasons, and Montgomery did not enjoy retirement.
Cal provided him a chance to help usher son John into the profession, first as the program's director of operations, now as an assistant coach.
"Having John involved changes the dynamic of the thing," Montgomery said. "It's always been a family deal anyway."
Turns out, Montgomery has found lots to like in Berkeley.
"It's clearly different (than Stanford), but I like the people," he said. "I never knew about Cal, I never knew what existed over here, and now I do. I got off the bus and came in the backdoor, it's all I ever did.
"People are what make places, and we've got some good people over here."
Montgomery's 2009-10 team won Cal's first conference championship in 50 years and last season the Bears finished one game shy of another title.
Still, Montgomery acknowledged that it's been a slow process selling recruits on the notion that Cal is among the Pac-12's consistently elite programs.
"It hasn't been easy. We don't get a lot of the attention that some others do," he said, alluding to UCLA and Arizona, long regarded as the league's premier programs.
Cal's academic demands complicate the equation, Montgomery said.
"This is not Disneyland," he said. "Kids that don't want to do work and have a challenge, don't look at this."
This fall, however, the Bears have gotten commitments from three high school players, including consensus national top-25 prospect Jabari Bird of Salesian-Richmond. Cal is dueling Kentucky for Deer Valley-Antioch forward/center Marcus Lee, rated as the No. 15 prospect by Rivals.
"We've won more (Pac-12) games than anyone except Washington. And people go, 'Really?' " Montgomery said of his four-year stint. "But they're starting to look at us more as a contender, as somebody who consistently has been there."
The preseason magazines are getting onboard. Athlon Sports picks Cal third in the Pac-12, Lindy's has the Bears fourth.
Montgomery doesn't dwell on his bout with cancer. He said it serves no purpose, and he doesn't have the time. Coaching his team keeps him busy.
"It dominates you. It's what you do," Montgomery said, and he likes it that way.

Scott Wants $5 Million For Cities With Spring Training Facilities
Governor pledges to set aside $5 million each year for spring training teams in Fla.
Published: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 2:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 2:28 p.m.
LAKELAND | Only the governor could water a pitcher's mound then pledge that he wants to set aside $5 million of state funds each year for spring training teams in Florida.
"Spring training is very important to Florida," Scott said during a news conference in the middle of his workday.
Wednesday was Scott's 15th ''Let's Get to Work'' day since he took office in 2010. Although the game between Detroit and Atlanta didn't begin until 1:05 p.m., Scott started his day at 9:15 a.m.
There was a high of 20 spring training teams based in Florida in 1998, but since then five left for Arizona.
The $5 million Scott pledged would be used for cities and counties that need upgraded facilities to help keep their teams.
The pledge comes at a time when the city and Detroit are working on an estimated $20 million to $30 million expansion at Joker Marchant Stadium. The Tigers have trained in Lakeland for 77 years.
State lawmakers will have to approve Scott's request in the coming weeks. Cities and counties would be required to contribute matching funds. If it is approved, the money would become available July 1. The $5 million would be a recurring fund that could accumulate within the state.
Bill Tinsley, the city's liaison to the Detroit Tigers, said the money will be a big help.
Funding from the state is capped at $20 million, Tinsley said.
Tinsley said the state contributed $7 million for renovations in 2001 that included more seats, wider aisles, new restrooms, the berm (a slope beyond the fence in left field), a new concession courtyard, and seating for the handicapped. The facility was built in 1966.
Tinsley has said he wants to obtain funding for renovations this year. Construction could begin in 2014. The city's contract with the Tigers ends in 2016. Two other teams, the Toronto Blue Jays in Dunedin and the Houston Astros in Kissimmee, also have contracts up in 2016.
Scott made the announcement Wednesday before the game, standing next to Lakeland Mayor Gow Fields, state Sen. Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland, and city officials including City Manager Doug Thomas.
Fields said it was an important step by the state.
"It sends a message that the state is onboard," Fields said.
Rep. Seth McKeel, R-Lakeland, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, said in a prepared statement that spring training attracts tourists to Florida and provides jobs.
"I welcome Governor Scott's announcement in Lakeland, which has the longest standing spring training relationship in Major League Baseball," McKeel said.
Before the news conference, Scott worked with the grounds crew on the main field then on a couple of fields behind the stadium.
As Scott toiled, the Detroit Tigers worked out.
Wearing a U.S. Navy hat, a button-down shirt and running shoes, Scott first helped water and rake the dirt on the basepath. At one point, he rolled up his sleeves to pour extra sand on to the pitcher's mound so players wouldn't slip.
Afterward, Scott worked in the parking lot, sold programs, and sold strawberry shortcake inside the stadium.
Next, he marked home plate and 90 feet of chalk between third base and home plate with a machine that dispensed the chalk.
"He's doing good for the first time," said Charlie Taylor, who oversees the grounds crew on the minor league fields. "Not a lot of governors get their hands dirty like that."
''You'll let me know when I mess up," Scott said as he chalked home plate. "I want to succeed at what I do."

Pure Comedy: Funniest Tweets Of 2013

In an unexpected outcome, the House of Representatives' final vote on the 2013 Farm Bill was 195-234. The vote fell far short of the 218 required for passage.
"Ducks Unlimited is extremely disappointed in the House of Representatives' failure to pass a five-year farm bill. The lack of comprehensive agriculture policy for the next five years could be devastating for the farm bill's conservation programs," said DU CEO Dale Hall. "If we are left to another one-year extension, it is very likely the conservation programs will continue to be stripped down."
A House-passed farm bill is necessary in order to get a bill into conference with the Senate-passed 2013 Farm Bill, which included DU's top agriculture conservation priorities of a national Sodsaverprogram and re-coupling conservation compliance to crop insurance.
The House's defeated farm bill only contained a regional Sodsaver program that would have applied to only the Prairie Pothole Region states of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota. The House also failed to consider an amendment that would have reflected the historic agreement between the conservation and agriculture communities to re-couple conservation compliance with crop insurance.
"America's sportsmen, farmers and ranchers joined together in a coalition to compromise and support the 2013 Farm Bill. It is tremendously frustrating that the House has ignored us and failed to produce a bipartisan bill, as the Senate has done. This is a missed opportunity to do the right thing, not only for farmers and ranchers, but for America's wildlife by standing up for the programs that play a vital role in conserving habitat," Hall said.
"A solution to this deadlock will have to be bipartisan to be strongly supported," Hall said. "DU is in active discussions with our agriculture partners to explore a way forward that can result in passage of a five-year farm bill before the extension expires on September 30."

Young Caesar Stoops to Conquer on 'Spartacus: War of the Damned': TV Recap
We open with a bloody fight, as Naevia spars with a man in camp who is soon summoned to see Spartacus himself.
Spartacus is holding a meeting with his top men, and Naevia's sparring partner gives Spartacus valuable inside information about taking a city he wants to infiltrate. Gannicus adds that he knows a blacksmith in the target city who can be bribed into helping them.
Spartacus, Gannicus and Crixus, dressed as traders, enter the city, which requires visitors to check their weapons at the gate.
We see Laeta, the wife of a Roman dignitary in the city. It's demonstrated that she has a kinder heart some other Romans: she's trying to help a baker and his pregnant wife and she also walks away from a public stoning of rebel sympathizer in disgust.
As the man marked for stoning stands in chains before the mob, Spartacus passes by. He can't save the man without blowing his cover, so he takes the man's life with a well-placed throw to end his suffering.
Back in Rome, Marcus Crassus is planning his pursuit of Spartacus. His son, Tiberius, is eagerly waiting to take his place at his father's side.
Just then, Caesar (played by Todd Lasance) arrives. "Am I to be kept waiting entire f—ing day?" are Caesar's first words. Not exactly Shakespeare. This is a younger, buffer Caesar than in the Bard's famous play. In Shakespeare's tragedy, Caesar famously remarks "Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look, he thinks too much; such men are dangerous. In the Starz drama, it's Caesar himself who has the lean, hungry, dangerous look. When two of Crassus's men try to mess with him, he makes short work of beating them both up until Crassus himself comes to receive him. "Your men forget themselves!" Caesar says. But the men won't soon forget Caesar.
Crassus has heard of Caesar's victories abroad–and of his insolence and impatience (Caesar sounds a bit like a young Anakin Skywalker). Caesar has a famous family name, Crassus has the money. Caesar is also in debt and has many enemies. Crassus offers Caesar a partnership. "Bring end to slave rebellion," Crassus says is his purpose. "And death of Spartacus."
Let's pause for a second and talk out this Caesar thing. What's he even doing in a series about Spartacus?
Philip Freeman, author of the biography "Julius Caesar," told me a few weeks back that there is no direct evidence from ancient sources that Caesar served in the war against Spartacus. "Caesar does mention the Spartacus war in his later writings, but never actually says he was there," Prof. Freeman said in an email.
But "Spartacus" creator Steven S. DeKnight told me that because the historical record is silent on what Caesar was doing at the time of the Spartacus war, "that gave us enough leeway to say, 'Absolutely, he was involved.'" Prof. Freeman and other historians I checked with agree that, even absent hard evidence, it is reasonable to assume that Caesar may have played some part in the Spartacus war.
Okay, back to the recap.
Gannicus and Spartacus go to see their inside man, the blacksmith. They pay him and ask him to make them two swords. He agrees, given how much they're paying him.
In disguise, Spartacus goes to see Laeta to talk about purchasing grain for his slaves. He also meets her husband.
We see Caesar taking a bath surrounded by naked servants. One has a knife for a strange, unnamed purpose. He rises glistening from the bath to seduce Kore, one of Crassus's servant women, who is not necessarily into it, but they are interrupted by Crassus.
Crassus and Caesar talk strategy–and agree to work together. Crassus says to beat Spartacus he needs "a wolf" by his side. Tiberius is secretly listening to all of this, and must know in his heart he's more of a puppy dog than a wolf. And since Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, were suckled by a she-wolf, lacking a certain wolfishness isn't a good thing if you want to get ahead in the Empire.
The blacksmith has finished his swords; Spartacus and Crixus confirm that they plan to take the city. The blacksmith, initially worried for his life, decides to join them.
Crassus's wife wants to travel with him to the front lines, but he tells her she needs to stay behind and keep safe. He then goes to make love to Kore. Even in Roman times, or perhaps especially then, dudes were still dawgs. "I would find no comfort in her presences as I would in yours," Crassus tells Kore about his wife. Spoken like every husband who has ever cheated on his wife for the last 2,000 years.
The plot to take the city is launched. All hinges on raising the city's main gate; when it goes up, Spartacus's army is ready to enter. The blacksmith lures the guards at the gate into an armory; Gannicus and Spartacus cut down the remaining sentries and begin to raise the gate even as the imprisoned soldiers hack their way out of confinement. Crixus slips through the gate first, and then others. Blood spatters the city's walls like paint on a Jackson Pollock canvas. In one particularly brutal killing, Gannicus cuts a man's head in half.
Laeta is on the run–and runs right into Spartacus, whom she still thinks is a trader. She's shocked that he's aiding Spartacus. "I stand the man himself," he reveals.
Back in Rome, Caesar is once again getting some sort of possibly kinky service from a servant girl that involves a knife and dripping blood. (I'm told by DeKnight that what's really going on will be revealed in a future episode.) Tiberius comes in on them, and Caesar unashamedly sends the girl away.
The city is a mess. Women and children lie in pools of blood. "The city is taken," Spartacus announces. He tells his people to let the remaining Romans live, though they should be shackled.
Laeta's husband has barred himself behind a gate and is threatening to put the city to the torch. Spartacus tells Laeta to talk her husband down if she wants to spare the lives of her friend and neighbors, like the baker and his pregnant wife. As she negotiates, Crixus and Gannicus slip in behind him, and the Roman dignitary ends up with a spear through his head. Laeta's been used. "Know that I carry the full weight of your loss," Spartacus tells her, saying that he's also lost family members in the past. That's probably not a whole lot of comfort coming from the guy who just ordered a spear through your spouse's skull. Spartacus orders Laeta placed in chains.
Crassus gives Tiberius a command in his army, and places Caesar beneath him. Tiberius is overjoyed, but Caesar is pissed because he's, well, Caesar. (This is a guy who once said "I would rather be first in a village than second at Rome.")
"Stay upon path I have set and see greater glories bestowed at journey's end," Crassus tells Caesar.
Crassus then announces to his army that it's on like Donkey Kong, but says that in a way that's less anachronistic and more eloquent than I just did. Crassus's men look a good deal more organized than the horse-eating rabble that pass for Spartacus's rebel forces. This War of the Damned isn't going to end well. Amat victoria curam.

In a scene reminiscent of Black Friday, residents of Toledo — Ohio's fourth-largest city — swarmed shelves for bottled water today, following a warning not to drink the tap water.
Officials said toxins, possibly a result of algae in Lake Erie, have contaminated the city's water, and that they are not yet sure how long the warning will last. The advisory affects more than 400,000 Toledo residents, along with most of the city's suburbs and even a few areas of southeastern Michigan. Drinking the water, or even using it to shower or brush teeth could kill pets and sicken humans, reports The Associated Press.
Governor John Kasich issued the emergency order just after midnight, so the state has had nearly a full day so far to bring water into the Toledo area. Ohio officials are also asking grocery chains to send as much bottled water as possible to their stores in the region. Sarah Eberspacher
Conservative provocateur Ann Coulter agreed to participate in actor Rob Lowe's Comedy Central roast Saturday night to promote her new book (a campaign tract entitled, In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!). That was a bad call.
Though the other celebrity roasters took plenty of shots at Lowe himself, Coulter was the butt of many of the evening's harshest jokes. Here are a few of the milder ones:
Pete Davidson: "If you are here, Ann, who is scaring the crows away from our crops?"
Peyton Manning: "I'm not the only athlete up here. As you know, earlier this year, Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby."
Nikki Glaser: "The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave."
Jewel: "I do want to say as a feminist that I can't support everything that's been said tonight. But as someone who hates Ann Coulter, I'm delighted." [All via Variety]
You can read some of the more NSFW insults here, or just wait until the roast airs on Labor Day. Bonnie Kristian
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Sunday declined to attempt explaining where his party's nominee stands on immigration. Asked by NBC's Chuck Todd whether Donald Trump is undergoing something of an evolution on the topic, Priebus deferred, promising that Trump himself would "be giving prepared remarks on this issue" sometime soon.
"I don't speak for Donald Trump," Priebus continued. "Here's what I know: [Trump's] position is going to be tough. His position is going to be fair, but his position is going to be humane." As Todd pressed for more details, Priebus seemed unsure as to whether Trump would really attempt to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants — though he was willing to state with certainty that Trump would work to build a border wall (which, for the record, already mostly exists).
While Trump has long made strict border security a central issue of his campaign, this week he said "there could certainly be a softening because we're not looking to hurt people." Trump then reversed himself one day later, suggesting he is instead engaged in a "hardening" of his immigration views. When these pivots led to confusion and accusations of flip-flopping, Trump blamed the media for "miss[ing] the whole point" and taking his words out of context. Bonnie Kristian
Acting DNC chair says she doesn't 'see what the smoke is' about Clinton Foundation corruption allegations
Acting Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile said Sunday she doesn't see cause for concern in emails showing Clinton Foundation staff coordinating State Department access for their donors during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state.
"The way I look at it, I've been a government official," Brazile said in an interview on ABC's This Week. "So, you know, this notion that, somehow or another, someone who is a supporter, someone who is a donor, somebody who's an activist, saying 'I want access, I want to come into a room and I want to meet people' — we often criminalize behavior that is normal. I don't see what the smoke is."
Brazile may have been referencing remarks from Clinton herself earlier this week, when the candidate told Anderson Cooper "there's a lot of smoke, and there's no fire" where accusations of a corrupt, pay-to-play relationship between the Clinton Foundation and State are concerned. Watch Brazile's comments below. Bonnie Kristian

At least 16 people were killed by a bombing in Syria — while attending a funeral for bombing victims
A pair of barrel bombs killed at least 16 people in Aleppo, Syria, on Saturday as they attended a funeral for children killed by a previous bombing in the same neighborhood earlier this week. Another estimate puts the death toll as high as 24, with dozens more injured.
The bombs were dropped by a helicopter, observers said, and hit the rebel-controlled area of Bab al-Nayrab. Barrel bombs are repurposed oil drums filled with scraps and explosives, and they are criticized by human rights advocates for their indiscriminate killing, especially in residential contexts. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has denied using such devices, but the activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says regime helicopters have dropped more than 28,000 barrel bombs.

In a turn of events that would be bizarre in any other election year, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton are both attempting to create a link in voters' minds between their opponent and the Ku Klux Klan.
Clinton brought up the KKK in her speech on Thursday, in which she accused Trump of handing a "national megaphone" to the "paranoid fringe in our politics." The same day, her campaign released an online ad in which self-proclaimed Klan members and white supremacists explained their enthusiasm for Trump. And on Friday, Clinton's running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, reiterated the connection by declaring, "Ku Klux Klan values, David Duke values, Donald Trump values are not American values."
Trump wasted no time returning the accusation. On Saturday, he retweeted a post from Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, two African-American sisters who support his campaign, referencing Clinton's ties to the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W. Va.). Byrd was a member of the KKK in the 1940s and filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964, though for the bulk of his political career he vehemently repudiated his past Klan involvement. When he died in 2010, Clinton mourned Byrd as "a true American original, my friend and mentor."
Hardaway and Richardson told CNN they called attention to Byrd's history because "Donald J. Trump can't help who embraces his campaign but Hillary Clinton could've helped who she embraced." CNN reports neither campaign offered comment. Bonnie Kristian
After more than half a century of conflict, the government of Colombia and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) will announce a ceasefire Sunday to take effect at midnight local time. The two sides signed a historic peace agreement after negotiations in Havana, Cuba, on Wednesday, an accord Colombian voters will be able to approve or reject in an October referendum.
Colombians reacted to the news of peace with a mixture of hope and skepticism. "It is the opportunity to end a cycle of this terrible violence," said musician Julio Correal, who has worked on a state-led project to promote a cessation of hostilities. "It will not be easy — it has never been easy — but it is easier than a war scenario."
The 52 years of fighting between FARC and the government in Bogotá have claimed an estimated 260,000 lives and caused millions more to leave their homes. Bonnie Kristian
Supported by Turkish airstrikes, Syrian rebels seized territory from Kurdish-led fighters in northern Syria on Sunday. The attacks killed at least 35 people, most of them civilians in the villages that changed hands.
This offensive is part of a new escalation of Turkish involvement in neighboring Syria's conflict, intervention which includes fighting both the Islamic State and the Kurds. This weekend's airstrikes were the first time Turkish forces have targeted Kurdish militias in Syria, though Turkey's government has fought a Kurdish insurgency within its own borders for some time.
This dual opposition complicates matters for the United States, as Turkey is a NATO ally helping in the war on ISIS, and some anti-ISIS Syrian rebels are backed by the CIA — but the Kurdish forces Turkey is killing also oppose ISIS and are funded, armed, and trained by the Pentagon.

Himmler minute of 22 September 1942 (paragraphs 5.187-198 above)
13.39 I consider that the interpretation of Himmler's terse note is problematic. I recognise that there are pointers (including for example the reference to Globocnik) which might be said to render this an incriminating document. But there is force in Irving's argument that the internal evidence consisting in the language used in the note (auswanderung or emigration) is consistent with the discussion between Himmler and Hitler having been about resettlement and not extermination.
13.40 That said, I accept the validity of the criticism that there was no warrant for the claim made by Irving that at that meeting Himmler pulled the wool over Hitler's eyes. In my judgment, that claim ignores the circumstantial evidence as to the state of Hitler's knowledge by September 1942 of the use of gas chambers to kill Jews. It also runs counter to the evidence of the nature of the relationship between Hitler and Himmler, who does not appear to have been a man likely to have practised a deception of this kind on his Fuhrer. I therefore accept the contention of the Defendants that Irving's treatment of this minute is unjustifiably favourable to Hitler.

Capital Journal Daybreak: Centrists Under Attack | Iran's Leaders Split Over Support for Maliki
Sign up for the newsletter: http://on.wsj.com/CapitalJournalSignup
CENTRISTS UNDER ATTACK:Centrist lawmakers in Congress are becoming a thing of the past—and as their ranks have thinned, political operatives' efforts to oust them have intensified. For more than two decades, Rep. Collin Peterson's conservative bent and focus on agricultural policy has helped him hold onto his western Minnesota district. But as one of just seven Democrats running for re-election in districts President Barack Obama lost in 2012, he faces a new level of scrutiny this cycle as he seeks a 13th term in the House.
At a recent fundraiser, Mr. Peterson recalled when there were 60 to 70 "middle-of-the-road" Democrats in the House. Now, thanks to redistricting and the GOP's 2010 gains, there are nine House Democrats in districts lost by Mr. Obama—and two are retiring this year. Democrats are also targeting 14 House Republicans in districts Mr. Obama won in 2012. Each side is seeking to tie its targeted lawmakers to their national party, which their districts often view with suspicion. Kristina Peterson reports.
–Rebecca Ballhaus
Iran's leadership is split over whether to continue its support for Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, according to senior U.S. officials involved in Baghdad's political process. The Obama administration has aggressively been pressing Iraq's political parties to quickly form a new national government to unify their country's Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish communities in the fight against a Sunni militia that's gained control of large swathes of western Iraq in recent months. U.S. officials privately say they believe Mr. Maliki, a Shiite, needs to stand down for a unity government to be formed.
CLINTON MOVES AWAY FROM OBAMA: Hillary Clinton has begun distancing herself from President Obama, suggesting she would do more to woo Republicans and take a more assertive stance toward global crises, while also taking a more downbeat tone about the economic recovery. Mrs. Clinton hasn't criticized the president, and her comments highlighting their differences have often been implied rather than stated bluntly. But she has made it clear that she wouldn't be running for a third Obama term in 2016. Peter Nicholas reports.
PRO-RUSSIA REBELS' LAST STAND: Ukraine neared a final showdown with pro-Russia rebels Sunday, after Kiev forced insurgents to retreat to the last major city they control and Moscow showed no signs of intervening to help then. Ukraine said it plans to go after Donetsk next, while rebel forces appeared to be readying themselves for a fight there. A battle for the city brings risks for both Moscow and Kiev, which has gained the upper hand without any open intervention by Russia. Alan Cullison and Philip Shishkin report.
EX-IM BATTLE HEATS UP: Major corporations and business groups are engaged in a hefty lobbying effort to combat the most serious threat yet to the survival of the Export-Import Bank, whose charter expires Sept. 30. The 80-year-old agency is under assault by new House leadership and conservative groups that say it amounts to corporate welfare. Supporters say it allows U.S. companies to better compete with foreign rivals. Each side is employing major political names to fight its battle. Michael R. Crittenden reports.
ALSO IN THE NEWS: As food prices rise, the Fed faces the key question of what counts as inflation … Six months after a chemical spill contaminated a vital West Virginia water supply, a fight is brewing over the waste it left behind … Passengers boarding U.S.-bound flights at certain airports may no longer be allowed to carry on board electronic devices that are out of battery power … Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson declined to say whether most of the children who have arrived in the U.S. illegally likely would be deported or allowed to stay.
–Compiled by Rebecca Ballhaus
The debate over the reauthorization of the Ex-Im Bank is picking up steam in Congress. WSJ's Jerry Seib looks at the differences between Democrats and Republicans on the issue.
–BACK IN WASHINGTON: The U.S. Senate returns from its July 4 recess, and is scheduled to vote on a judicial nomination this evening.
–LUNCH WITH TEACHERS: President Barack Obama pivots to education with a White House lunch with a group of teachers and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, to discuss the his administration's efforts to make sure teachers are effective.
The Supreme Court's decision to allow a closely held company to decline to pay for some contraception services for its employees was narrowly drawn, John McCormack writes in The Weekly Standard, and he warns that if Democrats respond by trying to "allow the government to subject religious Americans to even more egregious mandates, they'd be asking for a fight they would—and should—lose."
Michael Peel writes that the recent Afghan election is "in peril" over persistent and unresolved charges of vote fraud, and time is running short to resolve them so the winner can sign a new agreement allowing North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops to stay.
Dan Balz of The Washington Post dives into recent studies of the American electorate in search of a coherent political center, and finds not only that it has shrunk but that "those who now constitute the middle are less active politically than those on the left or right."
It was an especially violent Fourth of July weekend in Chicago, with more than 60 people shot and at least nine dead of their wounds, prompting one local priest to comment: "We wouldn't accept in in Iraq, we shouldn't accept in it Chicago."
In WSJ's Think Tank, Salim Furth finds that reports on economic mobility in America gloss over positive forces such as indisputable gains by minorities and women and technological advancements by average Americans, gains that leave him optimistic about mobility despite downbeat analyses.
The consumer price of ground beef in May rose 10.4% from a year earlier, while pork chop prices climbed 12.7%, and the price of fresh fruit rose 7.3%.

Recipe: Cinnamon Amaranth Porridge
Did you know that nearly 75 percent of the average American's grain consumption is wheat? And that the vast majority of this is consumed as refined flour? In fact, we only consume, on average, a pitiful 10 percent of grains in the form of whole grains. Ten percent! And of this minute portion, wheat, rice and oats take top billing.
Luckily, this recipe helps us discover one of Mother Nature's most delightful, yet most overlooked varieties of whole grain on Earth: amaranth. Amaranth was cultivated by the Incas and Aztecs and was considered one of their staple foods along with maize and beans. Like quinoa and millet, amaranth is considered a pseudograin/pseudocereal, as these foods derive from broad-leaf plants instead of grasses (e.g. corn, wheat). However, their seeds are used in much the same way.
So why choose amaranth over a more-familiar grain? Because this underdog of a plant boasts some fantastic qualities: It's easy to cook, gluten-free, and relatively inexpensive.

Crosby boys clinch Copper Division title
WATERBURY — Two lines — one 15 feet away from the rim and the other just less than 20 — helped Crosby clinch Monday night the No. 1 seed in the Naugatuck Valley League tournament, and the Copper Division title.
The Bulldogs nailed seven 3-pointers and were 21-of-28 from the free throw line as they held off host Kennedy for a 74-66 victory.
Crosby (18-1) matched Kennedy (13-5) shot for shot in the second quarter and used long-range shots by Jarron Chapman, Aseim King and Lex Perez at the end of the period to take a 28-26 lead into the half.
"Teams know that we're outside shooters so they usually play 3-2 (defense) on us," said Perez, who scored 15 points. "Coach (Nick Augelli) tells us to be confident in our shot and keep shooting and hopefully they'll fall through."
The Bulldogs fell behind, 32-28, in the first minute of the third quarter when Isaiah Wright opened the half with a three-point play followed by a 3-pointer. But Crosby finished the period on a 27-8 tear to take firm control of the game.
Perez started the streak with his second 3-pointer and had another a few trips later to give Crosby a 41-34 advantage. He added a layup late in the quarter to stretch the Bulldogs' lead to 48-38, the first double-digit edge of the night.
"We do shoot the 3 well," Augelli said. "Lex Perez is really starting to break out a little bit more."
To put the icing on the quarter's cake, Tyshon Rogers emerged from a scrum at the opposite free throw line with a second remaining and made a one-handed heave toward the bucket. Off the glass and in it went for a 55-40 lead.
Crosby stretched its lead to as wide as 59-42 early in the fourth quarter after Rogers made two perfect trips to the free throw line but Kennedy stuck around to whittle down the lead to eight points several times.
The Bulldogs' 13-of-16 foul shooting, including Rogers' 11-of-14 performance, in the quarter kept the Eagles from making a serious run. Rogers finished with a game-high 29 points.
Don Jarrett and Wright both scored 19 points for the Eagles, who have lost consecutive games for the first time this season.

Not a bad Landlady to start, just ok. Alright, so the notes say that they soundchecked with Rift over and over again. You would think it would be sweet. Not the case. I'll have to give them somewhat of a pass on this one because they did change the structure of the song. The solo sections have been cut in half and the rest of the middle just sounded off. Terrible Rift. Guelah was ok, not that great. Ok, maybe Maze will save the day again. Nope, just ok. They are not locking in tonight. Even Sparkle sounds a little off. It's Ice was ok. Jim is pretty good. Better than the rest of the set. So, for the fourth show in a row, it sounds like Trey pulled himself out of tune during Jim making Horn sound weird. The awful part is that he doesn't fix it. In Brother it doesn't really matter because it is a dissonant song. In IDK it doesn't matter either because there is no guitar part. Fishman didn't even get a funny name intro. Trey must be frustrated. Poor Heart is ok but needs more vocals. You can't hear Mike very well. Cavern is ok. Good closer but, just ok. Below average set. Please tune the guitar.
Let's have a better second set ok? Nope, Curtain starts off rough and Mike, I think, blows the middle section almost leading to a complete meltdown. Tweezer is ok. It's hard to mess this one up, although Trey pulls himself back out of tune making Fee sound awful. It seems like he fixed it a little because ATR didn't sound that bad. Reba is actually pretty well performed. So is Llama. Coil sounds out of tune again and has so much digi noise from the DAT that it is almost unlistenable. Even Page's solo is lame. Paul and Silas is ok. Pretty quick and painless. Trey has an awful time with YEM and blows his intro part. Still out of tune too. Sounds like a Mind Left Body jam about ten minutes in. The vocal jam is ok. Sounds like Fish is saying "Im a wookie". A-Train is back with Page playing an organ solo instead of piano. I don't know if I've ever heard that. Trey plows into Tweeprise as he probably wants to get out of there. Still below average.
An uninspired Sleeeping Monkey takes us home tonight.
Wow, I hate giving bad reviews, and I love these guys, but this was an awful listening experience. Again, I'll have to give them a pass because a lot of these songs have not been played in two months! The song gap chart shows this clearly. Paul and Trey have got to fix that guitar. I hope the rest of the Summer shows aren't like this.

Fed's George Sees Room For Rate Hikes This Year
SHAWNEE, Okla.–Kansas City Fed President Esther George said Thursday there are signs that the U.S. Federal Reserve should raise interest rates as early as this year, noting positive developments in the labor market and inflation rates closer to target.
"As I look at some of the policy prescriptions that the Federal Reserve relies on, looking at formulas that help guide you on when it's time to change, many of those are already pointing to lifting off of zero as early as even this year or next year," she said at an economic forum for business community leaders organized by the Oklahoma City Branch of the Kansas City Fed.
Ms. George, who isn't currently a voting member of the monetary-policy setting Federal Open Market Committee, has been a consistent critic of the policies pursued by the central bank in the wake of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. In recent remarks Ms. George has argued that the Fed should start increasing short-term interest rates soon after its ends its bond-buying stimulus program later this year.
On Thursday, Ms. George said that the economy appears to be back on track after a weak first quarter. She estimates economic growth will be somewhere between 2% to 2.5% for the full year.
She said the labor market has improved to the point that surveys show the ability to attract qualified labor is a growing concern for employers, a situation that often leads to higher wages.
Ms. George said that she expects the inflation rate to move closer to the Fed's 2% target, adding that she's concerned about the effect of higher food prices on low- and middle-income families.
"Watching inflation I think is going to be important for the committee, certainly something that I'm looking at as we go forward," she said.
Few of Ms. George's fellow central bankers share her desire to begin boosting the cost of borrowing. Ms. George wants to begin to shift to higher rates because of her ongoing concerns that ultra-easy Fed policy will fuel financial market imbalances and drive a surge in inflation.
While Ms. George's warnings about the potential costs of Fed policy have thus far failed to prove true, she spoke amid rising anxiety about the extremely buoyant state of financial markets. Prices pressures, while still under the levels sought by the Fed, also have been ticking higher.
One of Ms. George's colleagues, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, has said in recent remarks that improvements in the economy's state, especially on the jobs front, may require the Fed to raise rates sooner than many expect.
Last week's release of robust hiring data caused some Wall Street economists to move forward the timing of the first increase in short-term rates, although most still believe the Fed won't do it until sometime in 2015.
On Thursday, Ms. George said she's anxious to begin to work toward the "process of normalization so the recovery can continue in a sustainable fashion."

Rand Paul accuses Hillary Clinton of 'dereliction of duty' on Libya at Iowa event
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- Sen. Rand Paul sharply attacked former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, declaring that her actions in the months leading up to the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya last year were "inexcusable, it was a dereliction of duty, and it should preclude her from holding higher office."

Japanese TV Drama Filming in Seattle
The final product won't in fact be a 10-hour movie, but rather a 5-part mini-series called "Japanese Americans" to be broadcast on Japanese TV. The producers consulted with Densho about the script, which focuses on multiple generations of a Japanese American family that settles in Seattle and is incarcerated at Manzanar, California, during World War II. The mini-series will air in fall 2010, and Densho will launch a companion Japanese-language website with historical references, thanks to funding from the United States-Japan Foundation.
We've been told that 10 to 20 million Japanese viewers will see the mini-series, something that pleases Tom Ikeda, who says, "It's a clear signal that the Japanese are becoming more interested in Japanese Americans." Densho looks forward to more international communication and collaboration.

Will this be available to see on Densho after it appears in Japan? Other dramas seen on Japanese TV or movies are available on various websites like with English subtitles. I would be very interested to see this.

Hi Mary,
As of now we don't know of any plans to translate the mini-series. Perhaps after it airs in the fall, we can look the possibility.

Do you know how long they will be filming in Seattle? I am a huge fan of Kusanagi-san and SMAP (I will be traveling to Japan in September to see them perform at Tokyo Dome), and would love the opportunity to see him filming up close and personal, so any information on the filming whereabouts is much appreciated. My parents met in Minidoka, so this series has significant meaning to me. Thank you for assisting the cast and crew in this important project.

Hello Eileen,
I believe the cast has finished filming in Seattle and is on their way back to finish filming in Idaho. Enjoy your trip to Japan!

Dear Elieen ... Have U seen Kusanagi-San's Drama - Ninkyo Helper ? He acted so Great ...
- May 22, 2010 at 11:29 AM
- Eileen said...
Hi, Anson ... Ninkyo Helper was great, although the ending fight scene was kind of hokey. Kusanagi-san as a yakuza was such a stretch for him - I didn't think he could pull it off. But he was so-o-o-o kakkoii in this! :-)

I heard that this TBS mini-series will be shown in Seattle and Los Angeles in January, English-subbed. Any word on this, and if it will be open to the public? Would love to be able to attend. Thank you for any information you may have.

Batashay dailymotion In a recent interview, Kajol talked about her craze for Pakistani dramas. She said a while back it would have been totally impossible for a Bollywood actor to religiously follow Pakistani soaps or be enthusiastic about them, but things have totally changed.

As a longtime resident of New Philadelphia, I have seen many "politicians" come and go through our city government. What I truly believe we could never have enough of is an elected official who wants only what is best for our great city, not necessarily what his or her party believes is best. Aimee May, a candidate for City Council in Ward 1, does just that.
My family and I have gotten to know her well through the Tuscarawas County YMCA. She is smart, dedicated, involved, and full of fresh ideas for the city. She has religiously attended every meeting of the City Council as well as many of the various committee meetings, giving her the necessary knowledge to "hit the ground running."
For all these reasons and so many more, my family and I proudly endorse Aimee May for City Council Ward 1.
