MILAN — Thierry Henry, a soccer icon, is set to become a fashion favorite as well through a new limited-edition collection inspired by his style and designed by Tommy Hilfiger.
The Thierry Henry capsule collection, which will break in more than 40 Tommy Hilfiger flagships worldwide in September, is a sleek and distilled expression of the French athlete's aesthetic, and marks a decisively urbane look for Hilfiger.
"I took his ideas and tastes and blended them into a line that is very sophisticated and cool," Hilfiger told DNR in a phone interview last week. "The collection is just really right for the European market."
Indeed. In Europe the Tommy Hilfiger brand has been capitalizing on its premium position, posting robust sales growth over the past two years. It opened more than 50 freestanding stores in Europe in 2006.
The Thierry Henry collection is a further move toward the top tier of fashion.
One of the soccer world's most successful strikers, Henry played for eight years with the U.K.'s Arsenal Football Club before signing with Barcelona earlier this summer.
And while Americans may not know his name, he's revered throughout the soccer world for his speed and athleticism.
"He's a superstar, better looking than most models and just a real gentleman," Hilfiger said, adding that it was a convenient coincidence both men shared the same initials.
Yet it wasn't only Henry's celebrity status, matinee-idol looks and perfectly lean physique that convinced Hilfiger to sign him on as brand ambassador late last year.
His charity, The One 4 All Foundation—which promotes and supports education projects against racism—was an equal lure. All profits from the collection will go toward the Foundation's initiatives.
"We were looking for an icon to represent our brand and Thierry was a great partner," Hilfiger said. "I just loved the idea he was so philanthropic. He wants to help his community and also be involved in fashion, but not in the way a lot of other [non-designers] have done it."
Henry gladly remained the muse and left the designing to Hilfiger.
And while Hilfiger has crafted concert wardrobes for many a rock star, as well as designed on-field uniforms for different teams, including the Hilfiger Sailing team and the U.S. Olympic Freestyle Ski team, the Thierry Henry collection is the first fully articulated collaboration with an international personality
"It's always beneficial to a designer to get input from consumers, especially when that consumer has such great style," Hilfiger said. "It ultimately helps build a better product."
Hilfiger said the two met twice, once in Amsterdam, where Tommy Hilfiger's corporate headquarters are now located, and once in London, to discuss the collection.
The result of those brainstorming sessions is a streamlined, modern collection that features clothing, sportswear, footwear and underwear.
Unlike other soccer players that favor jeans and T's, Henry's approach to dressing leans toward the chic and tailored. The nearly 40-piece collection, anchored in a palette of blacks, grays and chocolate, echoes that sensibility.
Suits are trim and made from fine wool. Knitwear is entirely cashmere and dress shirts feature micro-checks and jacquard. There's also an element of the sportif, best exemplified in a cotton jersey trench.
The collection comes with a special label that features the number 14—Henry's number at Arsenal. Meanwhile, Arsenal's color, red, is delicately sprinkled throughout the collection, whether as the undercollar lining of a checked wool coat or as a trim on pockets.
Retail prices range from 30 euros, or $41, for a pair of boxer shorts to around 620 euros, or $850, for a glen plaid, two-button, shawl-collar suit. Shirts average 100 euros, or $137.
"A pro athlete that is very successful can wear whatever he wants, from any designer, or even have it tailor made for him," Hilfiger said. "This collection is exactly what Thierry would wear. It's created with him in mind and for him."
The collection will break exclusively in Hilfiger flagships worldwide, including its recently opened shops on Regent Street in London and on Rue Saint-Honore in Paris, where events are also planned to fête the launch. In the U.S. it will be sold through the Tommy Hilfiger Soho store. Its only wholesale account will be Colette in Paris starting in October.
A special ad campaign, lensed by Nathaniel Goldberg and featuring Henry, will break in European men's and lifestyle titles, such as GQ, Esquire and Men's Health, as well in sport titles like France's L'Equipe, next month. In the U.S. the campaign will run in Details and The New York Times.
"It was such a pleasure to work with a superstar who is so humble," Hilfiger said. "To me that was as meaningful or more meaningful than anything else."

[OCC] OK the game has started.
OCC discussion is here
Character stats are here
When you post, please put your character's name in the Title. When we get into combat, please include your 'condition' and the number of Hero Points you have.
Thoughts should be in Italics; [OCC] should be at the bottom of your post (and in the future will be for me also ). and can be different colors or however you want.
If you want to use a skill or power, please put that in your post in the OCC with the bonuses include. For example
[occ] I am going to use Diplomacy on the cabby +6 to my roll [/occ]
I will be making all the rolls, but if you want to spend a Hero Point to try and succeed something please post that in with your action that round. When we get into combat, I would like you to post something like
Robin kicks the thug in front of him, then strikes the one with the gun behind him
[occ] Rapid Strike, Attack +9 (+5S) against the first thug; Attack +9 (+5S) against the second thug. I will spend a hero point to re-roll any Damage Save that I miss by more then 10 points this round.[/occ]
OK sound good? Alright then, time to begin
Two Days ago - Deep Underground somewhere? A dark throne like room.
A shadowy figure sits upon a large throne-like chair made of some golden material. Touching a green gem like button on the right armrest, a door 30ft away swings open silently. Into the room march two purple robes figures, both fairly large. They stop 10 feet before the throne and bow deeply.
One, in an oily voice, speaks "We come Master. How may we serve?"
The shadowy figure's voice echoes like it would within a cave "Is everything in order? Our troops are in position? The seals are readied?"
The second speaks, in a whisper that is almost a shout, says "Yes, they are my Master. We have all known routes to the school under observation and strike teams, Obsidian and Midnight are ready to move at a moments notice. We have been siphoning power off the city's grid for almost a month and gateway platforms are fully charged. We are ready my Master"
The figure on the throne looks to the first "And the mercenaries have arrived?
The first nods and says "Yes Master, they have and are awaiting in the gateway room Beta. They are unruly heathens, but they will be except weapons my Master."
"Good, all is in order and is going according to what has been foretold. When our agents see her, contact me directly. I wish to look upon her again. Yes it is a good day. Soon we will rule, and the world will fall down in worship at our feet. But first there must be a cleansing "
Today, October 29th, 2004, Central City, USA, Team: TITAN facility grounds, 10:21am
Over the last few weeks, each of you have received an "invitation" to join the new Department of Extranormal Operation to join a new school being set up just for 'specials' such as yourselves.
The TITAN program was set up by the D.O.E. to train (and protect) young meta-humans and exceptionally trained individuals in an increasingly violent world.
In the wake of the Darkseid Invasion, the war on terrorism and political instability in many part of the developing world, the U.S. government has instituted a number of 'meta' laws that restrict un-sanctioned vigilantly activity. With the Justice League, the government has a powerful tool in tracking down and putting a stop to these unlawful activities. These so called heroes are given the option of hanging up their capes, joining the JL as a probationary member, or jail. Those under 18 where generally encouraged to become trainees to more experienced JL members, but with the creation of Team: TITAN, they now have an option of training with out young specials, away from the hustle and bustle of the east coast.
Your letters of invitation include airplane tickets and limo rides from the airport if so required. You are requested to check in at the front gate even if you don't accept the limo ride. For security reasons, flying or sneaking onto the campus grounds these first few days is not allowed and could result in 'accidents'. Check in time is Friday, October 29th, at 10:00am, and any who take the free airplane and limo ride, will show up right on time at the front gates. The campus itself is surrounded by a 15ft redbrick wall, with lots of hedges and small tress lining it so that you can't see unto the campus grounds from outside.
The gates are guarded by four D.O.E. agents (promptly nick-named 'Men-In-Black' as they are uniformly large, fit looking muscle men, dressed in black suits, dark sunglasses, and clean shaven) although observant students notices that there are at least two armored-turtle shell suits back in the shadows of the gate. State-of-the-art LexCorp land battle-armor is not what you might expect on your first days but then the government wants to protect each and every one of you from the many dangers of the world right?
Once past the front gate you are driven into the campus grounds it really does look an ivy league private school lots of green grass and trees, a sports field, redbrick buildings that are no more then three stories tall, lots of open space. The limos stop near the main administration building, where two men await the students; the first is an attractive young man with a dark hair dressed in a business suit. He looks very athletic and standing at military attention. The second might not be human as his skin is bright red, and his face looks almost unfinished or very flat, with no visible nose or ears, and a flat, lipless mouth. His suit matches the first man's, but looks uncomfortable one him.
These are of course must Nightwing, and Red Tornado. The one you assume is Nightwing steps forward with an easy smile and introduces himself "Welcome to the campus, Dick Grayson, or Nightwing if you wish. And this is Red Tornado, and as you should know your mentors here at TITAN. But we don't need to be to formal yet, school does not official start until Monday. You have the weekend to settle in, and later Tornado or I will be giving tours of the grounds. There is a lot more here than you might think and it might be a little confusing for a day or two.
"First things first though, lets run your stuff up into your rooms. You each will have a semi-private, and bathroom. Your roommate assignments where made fairly randomly so if there are problems we can move you around to make sure everyone fits and gets along. But part of your training is interaction with your fellow team members.
"Hawk and Dove, it was decided that you would be bunched with other team mates. It is good that you have already worked as a team, but working with and interacting with other team members is an important part of your training. If in the future you wish to have a room change, talk with and I will make the arrangements. Right now, second floor will be the boys' wing. Hawk we placed you with Risk in room 2A. Dove, you and Arsenal will be in 2B. Superboy you and Beast Boy will be roommates in 2C. Next we have Cyborg and Impulse in 2D. Last on the boys' floor for right now will be Robin and Aqualad in romm 2E. The 3rd floor will be women's floor then. Terra you and Raven here will be roommates in 3A. Huntress isn't here yet, we expect her here tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Anyway, Starfire you will be sharing room 3B. The last two will be Argent and Wondergirl will be bunching in 3C.
"Now we are not full by any means, and we will be accepting new students as time goes on. The school might seem a little empty for a while but that will change I promise you. You are all the first class in this grand experience. I hope that you are as excited by this as I am.
"A quick run down of you first day here will be mostly settling in. Lunch will be in the cafeteria, starting at 11:30am. I would like all of us to be there for this one so we can talk a little more and get to know each other better. Normally the cafeteria will be open every day from 8am to 8pm, but you will have access to it 24 hours a day.
"OK are there any questions?"
[OCC] Go ahead and describe how you are planning on arriving at the Campus (taking the limo, flying, sneaking in, etc.) and how you are dressed (costumes, normal causal clothing, someway else). Then you are introduced to each other.
The NPCs are as follow...
A green skinned boy, maybe 14 or 15 years old, dressing in a black "Oozy Osborn" teen shirt and blue jeans. He is introduced as Beast Boy (Garfield Logan) and he is smiling a lot, especially when talking with or looking at any of the female team members.
A tall, attractive, young man, with very short blond hair, dressed in a nice business suit. He is introduced as Risk (Cody Driscoll) and he speaks with a slight European accent.
Another young man, again maybe 14 or 15 years old, dressing like a street skateboarder. He is introduced as Impulse (Bart Allen) and speaks very fast most of the time.
The last man introduced is a very attractive and athletic young man. He has long, straight, glossy black hair and is dressed in causal, designer clothing. He is introduced as Aqualad (Garth, "just Garth") and he talks in a smooth easy voice that has a slight accent.
The first young woman introduced, fairly tall for her age of maybe 15, has shoulder length blond hair and is very pretty. She is dressed in red designer jeans and a black half tee shirt that shows up her well-muscled stomach and bell-ring. Her name is Wondergirl (Cassie Sandsmark) and she speaks with a slight New York accent.
The next young woman is very tall, almost 6ft tall in fact, with long straight golden colored hair and large fully green eyes. She is dressed in a very fashionable dress and white blouses, and you are not really sure how old she but she acts 15 or so. She is introduced as Starfire only, and seems very happy to be here and to meet all of you. Her accent is hard to place though.
The next young woman is of average height, also fairly attractive, but has pale white skin and black eyes. She is probably 15 or 16 years old and she is wearing average looking jeans and black long shelve tee shirt. She is introduced as Argent (Toni Moneti) and her voice is fairly quite and smooth.
The last girl of the group is of average height, dark haired with pale skin (yet not as pale as Argent). She is dressed in a black one-piece dress, and strangely enough a long black cloak. She has the hood drawn up most of the time. She is introduced as Raven, no other name is given. She speaks very little and also has an accent that can't be easily pinpointed. [/OCC]

Once Arsenal is introduced to the female members of the group he attempts to be suave. "Well hello ladies....I'm Arsenal..Archer Extraordinaire! If you're not careful, just like Cupid, one of my arrows just might pierce your heart."
[OOC: Roy will attempt to pick up any female breathing, not-breathing.. whatever! If you want to do a bluff/diplomacy/charisma check, I'm sure there will be penalties for sheer cheeziness ]

After landing at the airport and taking the limo to the campus, Cyborg listens to Nightwing's introductions. Cyborg's wearing an Eagles football jersey and loose sweatpants. Some of his implants are still quite obvious, though.
"Hi, everybody, I'm Vic Stone... or at least I used to be, before the accident," he says. "I go by Cyborg now. Nice to meet you all."
OOC: I'll get Cyborg's stats up on Monday, I'm not likely to be on much this weekend.

Robin stands to the back of the crowd, trying not to draw attention to himself. Though he is dressed very casually (blue jeans and an officially liscenced Batman (TM) t-shirt) he looks very uncomfortable in them as he tugs at his collar and adjusts his jeans.
"..Umm, hi...Tim Dr..Drake....Tim Drake. But...umm...you can just call me Robin. Please, call me Robin..."

Eyeing the LexCorp "protection," Superboy sighs. "So... all this to protect us super-teens? A little extreme, if you ask me," he says, unzipping his windbreaker to reveal the "S" on his outfit.
Superboy rolls his eyes, chuckling a little at Arsenal's bravado. "Take a cold shower, Archer-boy, and let a real super-man handle the ladies," he cracks. "C'mon, Beastie, my bunkie - let's take a look around this place and get settled in," he says, cutting a polite path through the crowd.

As Arsenal talks with the ladies...
...Diplomacy 6 +7 =13...
...Raven totally ignores him, Wondergirl rolls her eyes, Argent laughs lightly; not sure if she is laughing at you or with you, while Starfire smiles and looks innocently at him...
Starfire laughs with joy and says in an innocent voice "But why would you wish to shot any of us? Are we not teammates now? I am most happy to be here and to meet you and the rest of my new teammates. This is a wonderful day."
She then looks over to Robin and says "I am Starfire Tim, I am so pleased to meet you. We will be wonderful friends! and then gives him a big hug.
Argent just giggles a little and says to everyone (eyeing Superboy's back) "Yea lets drop off our luggage and see this new campus"
Beast Boy (staring at Starfire's chest) looks over at Superboy and says "Sure thing. This place is soooo cool. I wonder what kind of computer system they got here? Got to check that out as soon as we can"

"Umm...wow...nice grip. Thanks. I'm, uh...I'm going to go check out my room and then go for a run. I'll, uh....see you at lunch. It was nice meeting everybody.
Robin grabs his bags and makes his way to his room.

Aqual lad says "I'll come with you as we will be housed together. I do hope that have adequate swimming facilities here. So you are Robin? Far younger then I thought you would be. Did you not serve the Batman some ten years ago?"
Nightwing speaks up about then saying "Sounds like a good idea getting you all settled in. Lets take you over to the 'Residency'"
Nightwing leads the group to a nearby building. It is 3 stories tall, and redbrick and marble. Entering you find yourselves in a large lobby with a double stairwell leading up. To the left of the entrance is a large dinning area, and kitchen farther back. To the right is a large common room with a large screen LCD flat-panel TV and expensive looking sound system. Nightwing explains that there is a video arcade father back, behind a small library.
Before letting you head up to your rooms he says "There are comm. pad throughout the building and campus that look like this here " he points at a wall where a red button and screen are set flush against the wall "If you would like a guild to see the rest of the campus, just hit one of those and ask for me or Red Tornado. The computer will route the call to that person. OK good luck people, and enjoy yourselves. Remember lunch at 11:30am right here. Other then that you are free to roam around "
Upstairs, you break up to find your respected rooms. The rooms are quite large, "L" shaped with a bed, desk & chair, computer, cabinet and dresser in each wing. They offer each student a bit of privacy. The bathrooms are common on each floor but could easily accommodate each of you and then some if you all wanted to use them at once.

Arsenal listened to Nightwing's speech with mild disinterest. He was however taking in the place between occasionally checking out his female team-mates.
"So it looks like we are gonna be roomies Dove." he said elbowing the hero in the ribs. "Say you and the big guy..." he motioned to Hawk "...aren't a couple or anything are ya? Not that there's anything wrong with that."
Sunday, 31st October, 2004, 02:44 PM #10
Looking a bit shocked to find Aqualad talking to him, Robin responds, "Oh..um, yeah. Well, I'm not that Robin. I'm, well, I guess you could say that I'm Robin 2.0." Looking shocked at himself, Robin continues, "Not, uh, not that I mean that I am better than the first Robin...I'm just the new guy."

Bernard Bailyn gives us a compelling account of the first great transit of people from Britain, Europe, and Africa to British North America, their involvements with each other, and their struggles with the indigenous peoples of the eastern seaboard.
They were a mixed multitude—from England, the Netherlands, the German and Italian states, France, Africa, Sweden, and Finland. They moved to the western hemisphere for different reasons, from different social backgrounds and cultures, and under different auspices and circumstances. Even the majority that came from England fit no distinct socioeconomic or cultural pattern. They came from all over the realm, from commercialized London and the southeast; from isolated farmlands in the north still close to their medieval origins; from towns in the Midlands, the south, and the west; from dales, fens, grasslands, and wolds. They represented the entire spectrum of religious communions from Counter-Reformation Catholicism to Puritan Calvinism and Quakerism.
They came hoping to re-create if not to improve these diverse lifeways in a remote and, to them, barbarous environment. But their stories are mostly of confusion, failure, violence, and the loss of civility as they sought to normalize abnormal situations and recapture lost worlds. And in the process they tore apart the normalities of the people whose world they had invaded.
Later generations, reading back into the past the outcomes they knew, often gentrified this passage in the peopling of British North America, but there was nothing genteel about it. Bailyn shows that it was a brutal encounter—brutal not only between the Europeans and native peoples and between Europeans and Africans, but among Europeans themselves. All, in their various ways, struggled for survival with outlandish aliens, rude people, uncultured people, and felt themselves threatened with descent into squalor and savagery. In these vivid stories of individual lives—some new, some familiar but rewritten with new details and contexts—Bailyn gives a fresh account of the history of the British North American population in its earliest, bitterly contested years.

In Memory of John W. Griscom
John William Griscom, age 52 of Wewahitchka, FL passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday April 23, 2016. John was born in Miami, FL on October 5, 1963. He is survived by his parents, Bill and Pauline Griscom, his wife Belinda Griscom, his daughter Amber Coffman, son-in law, Jake Coffman and granddaughter Adley Sue Coffman; and his two sisters Valerie Edmonds and Launa Griscom. He will also be missed by many other loving family and friends.
John enjoyed work as a concrete superintendent with ARCO Design/Build, Inc. He embraced life and loved spending time with family and friends. John was an avid fisherman and could be found on his days off either enjoying fishing in the Gulf of Mexico or on the river down in Howard Creek. When he wasn't on a boat, he was either riding on the Rhino or John could be found behind the grill cooking the most delicious food you have ever tasted. His passion for fishing and cooking often worked together to provide a finger-licking good dinner. Whether it was fish, ribs, Boston butts, Low Country Boils, or steaks, John guaranteed a great meal for all to enjoy.
Without even knowing, John touched many lives. He never hesitated to seize an opportunity to teach someone a new skill. If there was ever a person in need, he would be the first to try to help. People were guaranteed to learn something about fishing or loving the sea if they ever went out on the boat with him. He would jump at the opportunity to take someone out on his boat, especially if they had never been deep sea fishing. He was a man full of knowledge about many aspects of life and as he learned he was eager to share.
There will be a celebration of life for John at Fishermans Landing in Howard Creek on May 14, 2016 at 4 o'clock pm (EST). Since John had such a love for the sea and fishing, it was his wish to contribute to the Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association (MBARA) conservation efforts. An artificial reef in his honor will be deployed off the coast of Mexico Beach. The family requests that all donations be made to this conservation effort online at www.MBARA.org/donate.cfm or by mailing a check payable to MBARA at PO Box 13006 Mexico Beach, FL 32410. Be sure to reference "John Griscom Memorial Reef" on all donations.
In Memory of Ms. Angela Anderson Russell Angela A. Russell, age 56, life time resident of Augusta, GA entered into rest Dec 29, 2015 at her residence. Angela was a faithful Christian whose life reflected the love of our Heavenly Father. Angela was a dedicated teaching assistant at Glenn Hills Elementary School for 27 years. She is the daughter of the late, Richard L. Anderson. She is survived by her mother, Joan Anderson; son, Daniel R. Russell; future daughter-in-law, Leigh Gordy; her sister, Susan (Bob) Knight; nephew, Kyle Knight; nieces, Ashlyn Knight and Katie Russell; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. A memorial service will be held Sunday, Jan 3, 2016 at 3 PM at Crawford Ave Baptist Church with Kelly McKnight officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association (MBARA) or St Jude. Donations can be made to MBARA online at http://www.mbara.org/stats/donate.cfm or by mailing a check payable to MBARA at PO Box 13006 Mexico Beach, FL 32410. Be sure to reference the Russell Reef on all donations.

I'd tested the trial for 2 weeks, before buying the Pro Edition.
- First big deception was pagination. Pagination count rows not items, and in the trial it was not possible to pick that up because of the limitation of 10 photos in one album.
- Does not work very well on iPad, mainly because of the size of the button's link. Good for mouse but too tiny for fingers. To go back and forward between photos on iPad, you have to be lucky to find the right spot to click on.
- I had problems with plugin's css. Even and odd rows, when turning on pagination, alternate color. It's a really unpleasant design. And, for my surprise, this option was not an easy option to change, there are some other less important options, like change lightbox color, that is directly in the plugin's page as a possible configuration.

Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
The Promise of a Big Payoff...
Protein Engineers Recognized for Advances in...
As part of a project that reportedly is one of the largest sequencing initiatives ever undertaken in the U.S., the Department of Veterans Affairs awarded Claritas Genomics a $9 million contract toward the exome sequencing of veteran samples including those from the Million Veteran Program (MVP) over the next 12 months.
For this project, Claritas Genomics, a genetic testing company spun out of Boston Children's Hospital earlier this year that primarily focuses on pediatric medicine, is receiving support from Life Technologies and its Ion Proton™ sequencing technology; Alvarez and Associates, which is providing technical support; and Lockheed Martin, which will be applying data security knowledge to help manage all the data that will be generated during the sequencing process.
MVP, a research program launched in 2011, is combining genetic, health, lifestyle, and military-exposure data collected from questionnaires, medical records, and genetic analyses all into a single database. MVP has more than 210,000 enrollees to date, and it is hoped that up to a million veterans in the VA study will enroll over the next five to six years.
"As a U.S. military veteran, I am proud of the fact that my company is able to serve those individuals who were/are willing to sacrifice all in service to our country," said Everett Alvarez, Jr., CEO at Alvarez & Associates, in a statement. "I feel that this effort will greatly improve our ability to understand and better assist those veterans in need as well as the future generations of veterans."

A precedent setting event took place for public education in the Wiregrass. The Andalusia City School District has become one of just a handful in Alabama to start a mandatory drug testing policy.
This policy isn't for all 1700 students in the district. It's for seventh through twelfth graders who are involved in any competitive activity. It's not just for athletes and cheerleaders. It's also for band members because they have competitions.
On Tuesday, a drug testing team arrived at Andalusia High School to conduct a mandatory drug testing for nearly 400 students involved in competitive sports and activities.
Andalusia City Superintendent, Dr. Beverly McAnulty, recently received a $60,000 federal grant to get the program underway.
If a student tests positive, he or she will go through a series of disciplinary steps, but it will not be used to keep the student out of the classroom.
Andalusia High's principal says he's only received positive feedback about the program from parents and the community at large.
Beginning next month, approximately 10 percent of the pool of students will receive follow-up tests.
The tests are random. District-wide drug testing is taking place in several large counties around Birmingham, but Andalusia is one of the first in southern Alabama.
It's stressed that the drug test results are strictly confidential, and cannot be used by law enforcement against a student.

New Zealand dairy exporters will get an opportunity to introduce their Chinese customers to Prime Minister John Key at an event in Beijing later this month.
Key's visit on the 18th and 19th of March is likely to be dominated by conciliatory gestures aimed at repairing the damage Fonterra's botulism false alarm caused to New Zealand's trade relationship with China.
The Prime Minister will give a "private meet-and-greet briefing session" for New Zealand dairy exporters, who are each allowed to bring along one representative from a key Chinese customer or commercial contact, according to a joint invitation letter sent out by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Ministry for Primary Industries and New Zealand Trade and Enterprise.
Key would not be accompanied by an official business delegation in China, the letter said.
The meet-and-greet session would be followed by a dinner "focused on celebrating the New Zealand China dairy partnership".
The invitation was open to New Zealand-based chief executives and chairman only, who would have to meet their own travel and accommodation costs.
One exporter who had received an invitation said Chinese distributors and customers would be impressed by getting an opportunity to meet Key.
"In China you just can't do that," the exporter said. "Getting into a room with the Chinese President - that's just never going to happen. The fact that there is such good access to the Prime Minister will definitely be appreciated."
It's understood that around 30 New Zealand companies have been invited to the meet-and-greet session.
New Zealand infant formula exporters are currently facing a raft of regulatory changes in China and there is uncertainty in the industry around the outcome of an audit of local manufacturing facilities by Chinese officials this month.
Key is also scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang while in Beijing.
A statement released by the Prime Minister's office said the visit would focus on increasing agriculture, food safety and financial sector cooperation, as well as "building on the strong bilateral trade, economic and political relationship".
"My visit provides an opportunity to brief China's leaders on the outcomes of the Government inquiry into the whey protein concentrate contamination incident," Key said in the statement. "I will be able to report to China's political leadership, and assure Chinese consumers, that the inquiry delivered a strong endorsement of the New Zealand food safety system."
After visiting Hong Kong and Mainland China Key will travel to The Netherlands to attend the third Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague.
China overtook Australia to become New Zealand's largest trading partner last year and bilateral trade is expected to hit $20 billion by 2015.

John McCain's Vice Presidential running mate and Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, 44 (Photo Courtesy: The State of Alaska)
Dayton, Ohio (AP) Saying she's "exactly" what he and the country need, John McCain has picked Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.
McCain introduced Palin during a raucous rally in Dayton, Ohio.
The Arizona Senator said he made his pick after looking for a political partner who can best help him "shake up Washington."
Palin, a conservative with a maverick reputation, thus becomes the first woman named to a spot on a Republican ticket. She declared herself "honored" to be chosen as she stood by a beaming McCain in her first few seconds in the national spotlight.
Unlike Barack Obama's running mate Joe Biden, who attacked McCain sharply in his debut last week, Palin was indirect in her initial attempts to elevate McCain over Obama.
Palin told the crowd, "there is only one candidate who has truly fought for America and that man is John McCain."

Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
In Friday's New York Times, Alan Schwarz profiled Geo
Soto, and we learn that despite being born in Puerto Rico and attending
high school there, Soto played his first "significant game" in New
York. The Cub catcher lived with his family in the Bronx from the time
he was four until age eight.
Soto remembers it very clearly. It might have been just
below the reservoir. Or maybe down near that ice rink. But it was
definitely in Manhattan's Central Park.
"It was awesome," said Soto... "You go with your dad to
the practice field, but never in my life I'd ever put a uniform on and
played with other kids. I felt like, 'Wow, it's really happening—I'm
going to play baseball.'"
Schwarz also writes about Soto's rapport with the Cubs pitching staff.
In part of because of his excellent English, Soto handled
the veteran pitching staff with such aplomb that many Cubs considered
him the team's backbone and most valuable player—despite the presence
of established stars like Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez and Alfonso
Soriano. Soto knew when to talk and when not to.
Regarding Soto's hitting prowess, Schwarz mentions
Soto's significant weight loss leading up to his monster offensive season at Iowa
(.353-26-109) in 2007.
[Soto's weight] ballooned to as much as 250 pounds. It was only after losing weight that he began to emerge...
"Nobody was high on him after 2006, myself included,"
said Gary Hughes, a special assistant to the Cubs' general manager, Jim
Hendry. "But there was a different Geovany Soto out there."
The new Soto had more flexibility through his midsection,
allowing him to turn on pitches, and the stamina to keep calling them
deep into games and seasons.
Soto is hardly the first player to see a correlation
between his weight and his baseball numbers. Still, with all the stats
sites and baseball reference books out there, I can't ever recall
seeing one that tracked changes in a player's weight from season to
season. Maybe it's not possible to get legitimate numbers anyway: teams
in all sports are notorious for fudging those figures to effect.
(Basketball teams, of course, are also known to misstate their players'
But if it was possible to gather this data, I think we
would be able to establish some interesting connections between
particular players and particular performance levels.

Did the paper of record end a sentence with a preposition on a paragraph talking about excellent English?
I'll show myself out...
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
Maybe they were trying to rhyme "not to" with Soto.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
Actually, ending a sentence with a preposition is considered proper. See Chicago Manual of Style 5.169: "The traditional caveat of yesteryear against ending sentences with prepositions is, for most writers, an unnecessary and pedantic restriction. As Winston Churchill famously said, 'That is the type of arrant pedantry with which I shall not put....' The 'rule' prohibiting terminal prepositions was an ill-founded superstition."
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
pedantic restrictions like a motherfucker.
*goes around giving out lots of high-5s*
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
I saw the Pedantic Restrictions play a great show at the Whiskey A Go Go in LA back in 81 or 82. Wall of Voodoo opened IIRC.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
it's not that I really care, but it's what you always hear...plus I thought the rule was it was okay if it was part of verb.
something like..."not that he was aware of..."
Anyway, I was just busting balls...I certainly don't have the right to be correcting other people's grammar.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
I'm not the greatest with my grammar rules, but my sense is that at this point split infinitives and ending sentences with prepositions is more a matter of style than of grammar rules. I try not to end a sentence with a preposition because A. it usually doesn't have a good ring to it and B. it's become a silly social convention that people notice, even on baseball blogs. The NYT writer should have avoided it for both of those reasons, as much or moreso than for any questionable grammar...
Ok, back to work here. woo.

yeah...i just have no idea what it says, though...the color scheme on it (and the glossy material it's printed on) makes the whole thing a neon blur.

Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
Why's he got to be named Vito, huh?
First Godfather name that came to my mind...Fredo, Michael or Sonny were also acceptable.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
You're right about Rob, btw. I know for a fact he IS a racist. He hates white people with a passion.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
i've met some white people, they're not all bad. some even live in my neighborhood and no one's said a bad word about them that i know of.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
I'm definitely not a racist. I've got some white friends even.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
I'm not a racist, I voted for McCain.

Re: Schilling
Phil Rogers on how Chicago White Sox Dr. Anthony Romeo repaired CURT SCHILLING'S SHOULDER. (and he could return to baseball the second half of this season)
Says, this procedure, biceps tenodesis, could make shoulder injuries as fixable as elbow injuries.
Re: Schilling
Navigator, you misread that article...Dr. Craig Morgan did Schilling's surgery. He was assisted by one of Dr. Romeo's associates. They apparently used Dr. Romeo's technique. The operation isn't new it's just a minor variation on technique that is "new".
Re: Schilling
Yeezus, I was just steering you to the article.
Re: Schilling
No, you were steering and summarizing. You summarized wrong.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
Phil Rogers sunday article mentions Dr. Tony Romeo (he's officially on the WSux payroll as one of their team physicians, he's a shoulder specialist from Rush) in the context of the operation that Curt Schilling had (biceps tenodesis). Even though the surgery was done in Boston (by Dr. Morgan).
This operation removes the biceps from where it originates above the glenoid (shoulder socket) because it's frayed or partially torn and takes the tendon where it rests more proximally on the upper humerus (arm bone) and re-anchors it there. The frayed origin can then be removed. This keeps the tendon from completely rupturing and gives the long head origin of the biceps a secure origin again. The short head origin of the biceps attaches at a different location (coracoid process) and usually doesn't tear.
Biceps tenodesis has been around a long time and the techniques have improved modestly with smaller incisions. The improvements due more to technology advancements such as suture anchors and interference screw fixation options than anything (at least for that operation). These tools have developed in response to shoulder arthroscopy which has seen many advances in the last decade. The Knee joint was the area that had the first wave of advancements before the shoulder became the "hot" area. Now the hip is in it's early development stages...hence the on and off decisions regarding whether ARo-d should have his hip labral tear fixed.
On WSCR sports update they said ARod WILL have surgery tuesday.
Expecting 6-9 weeks for recovery.
This is most likely what Utley had in the offseason so I'd expect if he does return that quickly it will be as a DH.

I was just steering you to the article.
not intending to pick...after all you are the Navigator and steering is your specialty.

Question: Do you think that Lester's base-throwing yips/lack of the ability to hold runners is a big deal?

Should Cubs fans be making a bigger deal out of it, or is it just not that big of a deal?

Everyone remember Starlin Castro dropping or misplaying just about every ball near second base that involved a tag?
Javier Baez is the opposite of that.
on the wild pitch thing, did they really call that a wild pitch on Jansen that Heyward scored on Friday? If so, I don't know what a passed ball is anymore.
Let's see -- up 3-0, at home, Jake on the mound annnnd....compare and contrast 2015 to 2016. Bleh.
Hopefully, the Pirates will uncork a series of 9th inning wild pitches.

Fitzpatrick called about 15 minutes later and explained that he worked for North Ocean Investment. They would be providing the financing for the buyer and would be working the sale through the closing of escrow. He explained how the sale would progress.
1 – They had received a signed offer and deposit from the buyer in the amount of $3,675 which they had put into an escrow account as earnest money.
2 – I needed to provide $3,000 as earnest money to insure that we go through with the sale. He explained that the risen for my check was to insure that we went through with the sale.
3 – Once they received my check they would open an interest bearing account in my name and file the necessary paperwork.
4 – They would have a courier deliver the closing package which would include the closing documents and a bank certified check for the full amount of sale.
5 - I was to deposit the check and once it cleared, sign the documents and call them so the courier could pick them up.
6 – The courier would return to pick up the documents and would return my earnest money and Phil would send my refund of the listing fee.
I requested that he provide me with the above in writing and that once I had reviewed the information I would get back to him.
Later in the day I received an e-mail from Robert Walshburger outlining the above.
I took a couple of days to try and check out North Ocean Investment and could find nothing. No web page, no Better Business Bureau listing, no Rip Off report, etc.
When I called Fitzgerald back I told him that I couldn't find out anything about his company and he said that that was good because that meant they had had no complaints filed against the company.
I also asked why they could not handle the transaction like any other real estate sale (open an escrow, get all documents signed, close escrow and distribute funds from escrow at closing). He said that this was just the way they had always handled time share sales and that he would ask their legal counsel why a "standard escrow" couldn't be done.
I said that unless we could do a "standard escrow" I wasn't interested.
The next day I received a call from Phil who said that they had revised the program so the $1,299 I had paid TSI as a listing fee for our time share could be used toward our earnest money and that all I would have to put up was $600. He said that in doing the paperwork he had discovered that we had 7800 points in the bank for which the buyer would have to pay an additional $3,500 for. He also said to send a certified check FedEx, USP or USPS overnight and to call him with the tracking number so he could start the paperwork.
Despite my doubts, I figured that it was worth the $600 to sell the time share. A couple of days later when I hadn't heard from either Phil or Fitzpatrick I tried to call them and got a phone recording that their cell phones were no longer in operation. That's when I knew I was right in the first place, this was a RIP-OFF.
They will undoubtedly try this again using different names, etc. Be Ware!

K-9 officers tracked 26-year-old Paul Lambert a few blocks away. He suffered a gunshot wound to his arm.
The Panama City News Herald (http://www.ittybittyurl.com/gzn) reports Lambert and his girlfriend were fighting over the gun after she refused to give it to him. They wrestled over the gun and it went off, striking both of them.
Lambert was charged with felon in possession of a firearm, tampering with evidence and aggravated battery.

Wow! A typical teenager. They want what they want & don't think about the consequences that may accompany their stupid decisions. How selfish this is. Why would a 15 year old WANT a baby? If you seriously have baby fever, why not get a babysitting job to get an idea of what it's really about? How sad for this baby. Did the boyfriend want a baby? I really do hope that this OP is joking. Otherwise, this was a selfish, selfish thing to do. How ignorant of both of you to not use protection. Unbelievable!

Dante Fowler Jr. didn't know how important this weekend's matchup with Miami was. But people around him have made sure he's been properly educated this week.
Florida's sophomore defensive end said he's been bombarded about the importance of a win by fans on social media and around Gainesville with sentiments such as "Beat the Canes!" or "We hate them!" raining down.
After No. 12 Florida (1-0) travels to muggy South Beach to face Miami (1-0) inside Sun Life Stadium on Saturday, it could be a long time before we see these two teams together in the regular season again. In the future, two of the biggest programs in the state of Florida might have to hope for bowl matchups to meet.
Gators coach Will Muschamp, who grew up in Gainesville in the '80s, has done a good job of educating his players on the rivalry's significance. He soaked himself in the game, which kicked off each season from 1981 to 1987 and had been played 49 times in 50 years before going by the wayside in the late '80s.
The memory that sticks out to Muschamp in this rivalry is seeing fullback James Jones' one-handed touchdown catch in the north end zone at Florida Field in the Gators' dramatic 17-14 win against the Canes in 1982.
Consider this: Muschamp was 11 when he saw Jones' touchdown live. Fowler was in ninth grade the last time these two teams played (2008).
"It's a fantastic series," Muschamp said, "and we'll see where it goes after Saturday."
Where it likely will go is on the shelf, but not this weekend. Saturday, it'll be in everyone's face. Players know each other. Coaches have tried stirring up those old bitter rivalry feelings.
Nationally, this game hasn't received a ton of attention, but in-state, it means something.
"It's going to be really cool. I know the atmosphere is going to be huge," Fowler said. "It's going to be sold out and everything. I can't wait for it."
So both teams might as well go out with a bang, right? That shouldn't be a problem, as both enter Saturday's affair in almost must-win situations.
For the Gators, this has an early BCS play-in vibe. As with Georgia's opener against Clemson, the end result won't affect Florida's chances of making it to Atlanta for the SEC championship game in the win-loss column, but mentally, this could tip the Gators one way or the other.
"It's really, really big," Fowler said. "This could be one of those momentum games. If you win, you can get a lot of momentum going into the season because Miami is a good team."
A loss, and the Gators could fall a little flat. Atlanta is the main goal, but this team was so close to a national championship last year that the thirst is still very real, and an early loss could derail Florida's BCS train.
Even with Miami slowly rising back up the college football ranks, this loss likely would hurt more in the BCS realm than one to a conference foe such as South Carolina, LSU or Georgia. An undefeated run through the nation's toughest conference would help get the Gators back in the running, but is this team equipped for a run similar to last year's?
For Miami, it's a chance to really pop back into the national spotlight. This is a program that has seen much brighter days and is looking to become more relevant nationally once again.
Right now, Miami is teetering on that line. A win could thrust the Hurricanes over to the right side.
"That would be a big boost for the program and my teammates, just because it's something we've worked so hard for," said Miami running back Duke Johnson, who leads the FBS with 186 rushing yards. "Coach [Al] Golden has done a great job of getting us focused the past couple of years and getting us on track to where Miami used to be. ... This game would be a way of showing what we have and how far we've come."
Johnson and Fowler agreed that this game feels like a matchup with Florida State, which has become a bigger rival for both schools since they stopped playing each other annually after 1987.
A lot of emotions will be swirling in that blistering South Florida heat, and Muschamp knows his confident pack of players will have to control those emotions when they meet the Canes. After all, the Gators have struggled with on-field discipline during Muschamp's tenure.
"You've gotta keep your composure," he said. "It's going to be a very emotional game."
The Gators and Canes have been champing at the bit for this one. Despite the future of the series, this one means a lot to those who will be suiting up Saturday. Come game time, things should be electric on South Beach.
"When it's time for the kickoff, we'll let everything out," Fowler said.

Although darkness is invading the Good Land, its sun never fails to shine, keeping it alive and green. Although happiness has become scarce, its children never fail to smile, fighting injustice with love.
It's the Good Land that has overcome occupation, wars and tyranny. It's the mother that has never stopped, and never will, giving birth to Warriors. Its the golden grains of wheat that will fight the aging souls, those lit up faces that will keep fighting ignorance, the powerful winds of change that will fight fascism and bring it to an end.
It's the hope in the eyes of the young and old faces that will keep the eternal lands of Egypt as green as ever.

Salman Khan's Sher Khan in trouble and more Bollywood scoop!
Salman Khan's Sher Khan has been indefinitely postponed because of Salman's strange request. Salman told Sohail Khan, who is the director of Sher Khan, that he is very impressed with the Bengal tiger from Ang Lee's Life Of Pi (LOP) and that Sohail should use the same tiger in Sher Khan with Salman.
A source told a leading daily that Salman Khan was very impressed with the character of the tiger, Richard Parker. He called Sohail and showed him the footage of Life Of Pi repeatedly. Not only this, Salman even asked Sohail whether the tiger that Sohail had in mind would resemble the Bengal tiger in LOP. Later, Sohail promised his brother that till he got such an impressive tiger, real or animated, he would not launch his movie Sher Khan.
Now, Sohail is desperately searching for a solution to Salman's request. Well, who could have thought a Bengal Tiger can give Sohail sleepless nights!

text: Description Suggest an Edit The 22.5-mile Cascade Trail—boasting 12 benches, 23 trestles, and two bridges made from repurposed railcars—-follows the Skagit River as it parallels State Route 20 into the Cascade foothills of northwest Washington (ending in Concrete). The trail, completed in 1999, claims its origins from the Great Northern Railway, which transported lumber and concrete during the 20th century. The mostly crushed-stone pathway runs through cultivated fields, open space, scattered woodlands, and river bottoms. The nearby river provides for some great fishing and nice river views, as well as scenic vistas of Sauk Mountain and other Cascade Range peaks. You can start the trail in the outskirts of Sedro–Woolley at the Fruitdale Road intersection. A portable toilet is available at the trailhead. Here, you'll have the option of heading west for less than 1 mile of paved trail or east for 22 miles of crushed rock. After you've passed mile 14 and Lusk Road, consider heading south approximately 1 mile to the 169-acre Rasar State Park, a beautiful location for fishing, camping, and eagle spotting. As you continue along the trail, note the beautiful backdrops of the region. Expect a couple detours; a little less than three-quarters of the way in, the trail diverts at Baker Lake Road onto a bridge walkway along SR 20, crosses Grandy Creek, and returns via Bird Dog Lane. The trail ends at Concrete Senior Center (after passing concrete silos and crossing E Avenue). You'll find restrooms and water here. Cross the historic Henry Thompson Bridge, one of the longest single-span cement bridges in the West when it was built, to rest at the riverside picnic tables at the Baker River Project and Visitor Center. Click to read more Parking and Trail Access To access the western end of the trail, take Interstate 5 to Exit 232/Cook Road. Head east on Cook Road for 4.3 miles. Take a left onto SR 20/SR 9, and drive 2 miles to Fruitdale Road. Turn right to the trailhead; there is easy trail access for horse trailers here. To reach the Concrete trailhead from I-5, follow Cook Road 4.3 miles west. Turn left onto SR 20/SR 9, and follow it 23.9 miles. Turn left (north) into town on Douglas Vose III Way, and immediately turn right onto Railroad Avenue to the Concrete Senior Center. To reach the midpoint Birdsview trailhead from Cook Road, follow SR 20 for 17.3 miles, and turn left onto Baker Lake Road. Find horse trailer parking at all trailheads. Parking is also available in Lyman and by Challenger Road, which parallels SR 20 for 2 miles in Concrete.
