JERUSALEM, Israel - Egypt's acting government announced the reopening of the Rafah border crossing between the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip on Wednesday.
Palestinians under 18 and over 40 will be able to enter Egypt with no advance arrangements between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. Women are free to travel back and forth without official authorization. The new regulations also allow visitors with foreign passports to use the crossing freely.
Egyptian and Hamas security forces will man their respective sides of the crossing.
Hamas welcomed the announcement, which reportedly was one of the key points that convinced the Islamist group to sign the unity agreement with Fatah, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
"This decision reflects the spirit of revolution in Egypt and the depth of brotherhood between the Palestinian people and the Egyptian people, which has reutrned itself to its original role in the Palestinian matter," the Hamas government said in a statement.
Following the June 2007 military coup in Gaza that left Hamas in control, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak closed the Rafah crossing. Mubarak's insistence that Fatah forces operate the Gaza side of the crossing was unacceptable to Hamas so Rafah remained closed for the most part, with some exceptions for medical treatment or plans to study abroad.
Hamas, meanwhile, built and operated hundreds of arms smuggling tunnels near the Rafah crossing. The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) destroyed many of them during its incursion into the Gaza Strip two years ago. Since then, Israeli pilots often targeted tunnels in retaliation for rocket and mortar attacks by Gaza-based Palestinians on southern Israel.
Now, Hamas has an "open door," Jerusalem Post military correspondent Yaakov Katz said.
"Hamas is just getting an open door conduit from Egypt into the Gaza Strip," Katz told CBN News in a recent interview. "They won't even need to use the tunnels anymore."

If you are old enough to remember, prior to 1989 congress and the senate had to vote themselves pay raises. This of course aroused negative public interest, every two years... so to work around it.
"Under a complex system adopted in 1989, raises for Senator and Representatives are applied automatically unless a vote is taken to block them. These unpublicized, procedural votes typically take place late in the session -- and late at night."
Our representatives have gone so far as to raise the salary of the VP and Pres, because the constitution does not allow them to make more than the President.

A woman living with her boyfriend in a rural part of Osceola County has been charged in connection to his death.
Wendy Hank, 33, is charged with first-degree murder after authorities said she told them she killed her boyfriend, Darren Haverty, 39. Hank said that the two were involved in a verbal and physical altercation and that he battered her and approached her with a knife.
According to investigators, evidence discovered at the scene near Harris Road in St. Cloud conflicts with Hank's statements of self-defense.
She was booked into the Osceola County Jail.

Another new drug that extends survival time for men with advanced prostate cancer gains FDA approval
Xofigo (radium-223) is the second prostate cancer drug to treat metastatic disease that has come to market during the past year; the first bone-targeted drug to improve survival.
May 15, 2013 -- Today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Xofigo for the treatment of men with treatment-resistant prostate cancer whose cancer has spread to bones, but not to other organs. The approval comes almost three months ahead of schedule, according to the FDA.
Xofigo-- formerly known as Alpharadin during clinical development and drug trials--is a first-in-class injectable radiopharmaceutical that was developed jointly by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals and Algeta, ASA, a Norwegian pharmaceutical company. (Bayer will be marketing Xofigo.) The drug works by delivering radioactive alpha particles directly to prostate cancer cells that have formed tumors in bone. Because the effect of the drug is limited to about a 10-cell radius, toxicity is limited. Experts say Xofigo is the first bone-targeted drug to improve survival in prostate cancer.
During the drug's progression through clinical trials, the Prostate Cancer Foundation has continuously reported on the encouraging findings that led to FDA approval today. Those findings—from the ALSYMPCA multinational, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial that evaluated men with treatment-resistant prostate cancer who were either give best standard medical care and placebo or best standard care and Xofigo—include:
- Men given Xofigo had an overall survival advantage of about 3 months.
- Men given Xofigo experienced significantly higher quality of life measures compared to men given placebo.
- Men given Xofigo experienced a six month longer timeframe to first complications that occurred as a result of their bone tumors—such as fractures or spinal cord compression.
- Men given Xofigo had a 50% reduction in their risk for spinal cord compression caused by their tumors—a complication that can result in paralysis, severe pain, and other loss of functions.
- The drug was well tolerated by men in the study.
Read more about Xofigo in Prostate Cancer Foundation's Advances (see page 3) — Genitourinary Cancers Symposium that we sent out this past March: Triple-Hitter for Alpharadin: Novel Drug Improves Quality-of-Life, Lengthens Time to Cancer-Related Bone Complications and Improves Survival in Men with Advanced Disease.
And learn more in our reporting from last fall's European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Vienna—Novel Radiopharmaceutical Shows Survival & Quality of Life Benefit to Men with Metastatic Prostate Cancer-- on promising findings of radium-223, now known as Xofigo. Video of Dr. Chris Parker, a principle investigator on the ALSYMPCA study is included.
PCF is proud to have given seed funding to the early proof of concept of alpha particle technology that paved the way for Xofigo. The work was conducted by Dr. Christopher J. Logothetis at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Funding of this early-high-risk, high-reward work was made possible by the generous contributions of our donors.
Dr. Oliver Sartor, a member of the PCF Research Community, was the principal investigator for the study sites in the United States.
Patients who are interested in finding out where and when newly FDA approved drug Xofigo will be available can call 1-855-696-3446 (1-855-6Xofigo) or visit the website www.xofigo.com.

Thanks for this selection, honestly I just discovered 3 of them thanks to your list. Good job
Thank you for a collection. Also, I recommend a simple task app called Kanban Tool (for Android and an online version).
Just downloading Google Keep to help KEEP my New Year Resolutions! IMO, however, Vine is an anti-productivity tool. It can be used as a great marketing platform, but as a consumer, it simply sucks my time. Thanks for the otherwise great lineup!
Great list. Thank you for sharing. I will definitely try Talkboard. Another great app is Meetings app http://themeetingsapp.com/ I use it for managing my meetings more effectively, for write meeting minutes, setup meeting agendas, manage action items, take attendance.
Those applications are nice however beside Mailbox I cannot find anything interesting.
However if you want to be more productive you should try
SmartTM (one of the best Task / Time managers on mobile).
Get full picture of this app here: http://www.smarttm.com.
This app will rock 2014 for sure !
Hi all. Nice list! I want to share with you all another amazing app "Notionnote". It is a an iPad and also supports other platforms like Android, iPhone, Mac.

> Good or bad price on FAL?
September 2, 2004, 10:19 PM
I saw an IMBEL made FAL for $450 with three mags, used in very good condition. Is this a good price or high?
I'm in the NE area of the country.

You sure it's an IMBEL "made" FAL and not just an IMBEL receiver? Most of the Century Arms FALs have IMBEL receivers. If so, $450 is about the going rate for a "new" one from Century...if used it's too high. If it is a kit built rifle, I'd want to know who built it.
If it's actually a genuine IMBEL you'd better buy it before I fly there to get it...but I doubt it is.
Look for the actual manufacturer's mark, not just the receiver name.
September 2, 2004, 11:38 PM
It's genuine IMBEL. I checked, asked, and smiled.
Again, it's been used, but is in very good condition... has had upwards of 500 rounds put through it apparently, but looks like a safe queen otherwise.

Check the headspace and barrel timing while you're pulling the money out of your wallet to buy it.
I'll take 2, please, at that price.
Good find!
September 3, 2004, 10:21 AM
Uh... :D :D
I know what headspace is and how to check it with gauges, but barrel timing? :confused:
I'll be buying it on Monday, most likely. :D

IMBEL receivers are considered to be very good. And an awful lot of IMBEL parts kits were imported. Lots of guys assembled the two in their own workshop or garage. Depending on who did the work, when they did the work (sec 922(r) comes into play) and whether or not the parts are ALL Imbel or if some are domestic origin, has a lot of bearing on the rifle's legality.
I don't remember reading about IMBEL importing complete rifles . . . you might check with the guys at falfiles.com for more info.
$450 for a properly-built FAL on an IMBEL receiver sounds good to me.
September 4, 2004, 12:23 PM
Imbel receivers are good, and fairly common.
I will find a hat to eat if Imbel made the whole rifle, and it's selling for $450.
I saw a (used) Century import on Imbel receiver go for $300 at a gun show two weeks ago, but that was a smoking deal. If I'd had the cash, I would've plunked down $350 as quickly as I could.
September 4, 2004, 04:38 PM
If it's Imbel parts on Imbel receiver, grab it quickly at that price!

I looking for a narrow, tall gun safe to handle long guns and handguns. The door frame it's going through is 22" wide, and most safes start at 24". Depth can be as deep as possible, as it's going in a closet that's very deep. Anyone have suggestions?

Stocks opened lower this morning as a wave of protests against austerity measures in Europe brought new worries about the region's financial system.
The dollar fell further against other currencies on anticipation of more action by the Federal Reserve to push U.S. interest rates down. Gold continued to climb past $1,300.
In Europe, demonstrators gathered in Brussels, Spain and Ireland to protest spending cuts they say penalize average workers for debt problems caused by big banks.
The social unrest has raised concerns that countries like Spain, whose debt some say could be downgraded again soon, will not be able to implement the policies required to heal their bloated public finances.
In Britain, the FTSE 100 was down 0.2 percent at 5,566.30 while Germany's DAX was 0.5 percent lower at 6,246.52. France's CAC-40 was down 0.2 percent at 3,754.24.
In the opening minutes of trading, Wall Street followed the Europeon markets, with the Dow Jones industrial average fell 18, or 0.2 percent, to 10,840.
The S&P 500 index slipped 3, or 0.3 percent, to 1,145, and the Nasdaq composite fell 4, or 0.2 percent, to 2,376.
Mostly positive readings from economic data on manufacturing, home sales and jobs have helped push stocks higher this month after a dismal performance on August.
With only two trading days left this month, the Dow Jones industrial average is on track for its best September since 1939 with a gain of 8.4 percent so far. It's still up only 4.1 percent for the year.
Trading was relatively subdued with no major economic reports or corporate earnings scheduled to be released.
Ahead of the opening, Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 13, or 0.1 percent, to 10,775. S&P 500 futures fell 1.5, or 0.1 percent, to 1,140, while Nasdaq 100 futures are off 0.25, or 0.01 percent, at 2,008.25.
Bond prices slipped. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, rose to 2.48 percent from 2.47 percent yesterday.
There's a growing certainty within the bond market that the Federal Reserve will attempt to spur economic activity through pushing long-term interest rates down further. To do that, the Fed would buy more Treasurys, lifting bond prices and lowering yields.
Gold rose another $1.20 to $1,309.50, a day after settling above $1,300 for the first time.
In currencies, the dollar fell to 83.63 yen from 83.93 yen late yesterday in New York. The euro rose as high as $1.3638 in European trading before settling back to $1.3608.

Plainview runs down Wildcats
Bulldogs' big plays help top Clovis, 23-12
By MICHAEL S. CITRO
Globe-News Sports Writer
PLAINVIEW - The Clovis Wildcats were victimized by big plays for the second straight game.
A week after being shocked by a 75-yard punt return that led to a loss to Amarillo High, Clovis gave up scoring runs of 84 and 45 yards and a 100-yard interception return on a 2-point conversion attempt, falling 23-12 to Plainview on Friday before 3,800 at Bulldog Stadium.
Both long scoring runs came courtesy of Plainview junior tailback Rod Ansley on the same right-side sweep play. Ansley, who finished with 195 yards on 13 carries, also scored on a 1-yard plunge and threw a 19-yard pass for a first down as Plainview improved to 3-0.
Brennen Bell's 100-yard interception return of a Cade Colson 2-point conversion attempt with 36 seconds to play in the third quarter, took the sting out of a Clovis touchdown and shocked the Wildcats, who had dominated the first half. The play ignited the Bulldogs for the remainder of the second half.
The Wildcats had taken a 12-7 lead on a 37-yard wrap-around draw to fullback Milton Finch. Because Colson missed his extra-point kick on the first touchdown, Clovis (0-3) opted to go for two, leading to Bell's big play.
"I thought a real big momentum-changer was to get the two points off the interception on the extra point," Plainview coach Steve Parr said. "Then the kids played better on defense when we came out."
The offense picked it up too, driving for two scores - first to take the lead, then to cap the game. Ansley was critical on both drives.
"We decided to play as a team," Ansley said. "We straightened some stuff out, did what we had to do and we won the game. We just wanted to prove something. We're just looking for a little respect."
Ansley's 45-yard run for a touchdown was a shorter version of the 84-yarder he had in the first half. But it was the one that sealed the victory for Plainview, which has as many wins in 1998 as it did all of last year.
"It was good blocking by the line," Ansley said. "The backside guard and tackle pulled and did a good job. I followed the blocks, went and scored."
Plainview dominated the fourth quarter much the same way the Wildcats had claimed the entire first half. But one play following a turnover gave the Bulldogs a halftime lead.
The Wildcats had drawn first blood on a 2-yard dive by Chris Justus, who led the Clovis offense with 72 yards on 24 carries.
Clovis seemed about to add to its 6-0 lead with just less than five minutes to play in the first half. The Wildcats, marching downfield and chewing up clock like they had all evening, drove to the Plainview 16, mostly behind the rushing of Justus.
But on second-and-3, Finch ran into a wall of Bulldog defenders at the line of scrimmage and coughed up the football. The 'Dogs recovered and immediately made the Wildcats pay.
Ansley, who had 2 yards on three carries to that point, took a counter play to the right and ran untouched 86 yards for a touchdown. Sergio Zuniga tacked on the extra point, and a stunned Clovis team trailed 7-6.
The Wildcats' next drive stalled at Plainview's 48, and the Bulldogs took their one-point edge to the locker room at halftime. Clovis had dominated, but had nothing to show for it. The Wildcats had held the ball for 19:06 in the first half to Plainview's 4:54.
Clovis had built up 158 yards in the first half. Plainview - minus Ansley's long run - had just 3 yards of offense.
The loss was the fourth straight for Clovis coach Eric Roanhaus in his bid to win his 200th and marked the first time in his 21-year tenure that his team has started a season 0-3. Roanhaus refused to comment after the game.

the Ferrell Center (Waco, Texas)
Attendance: 5,159
On what he was pleased with...
"I thought we made the extra pass, shared the ball, and in a game like this, selfish teams try to get their own points. We didn't have that. Our execution was good and we rebounded the ball very well."
On being recovered from Hawaii...
"That first game back from Hawaii is always tough because you're never 100 percent recovered. You could tell at halftime that some of our players, like Rico were winded. But, I thought we still played well and executed well."
Baylor Forward Rico Gathers:
On recovery from trip...
"I won't lie to you, I was pretty tired out there on the floor. They asked at halftime if I was good, but I had to admit I was a little tired. It's hard coming back from a 4-hour time difference and playing another game."
On adjusting to the new rules...
"I had to shift my style of play back to how it was in my high school days. I have to start playing for the second half and saving my fouls for the scond half. Then, in the second half I'll be able to play as physical as I want, and get real busy.....If I have all 5 fouls available in the second half, it's going to rough for the other team."
HSU Head Coach Craig Carse:
On Baylor...
"I think that Scott [Drew] has assembled a team now that is one echelon away from being one of our premier teams in the country. He is already consistent with their tournament play and in the Big 12, and I think in Maui, you saw with Syracuse that they're right there. Naturally, as an NCAA Div III non-scholarship team we don't have the length, the height, the vertical, or the talent. They have a wonderful team. This was important for them oxygen wise to get ready for a big game with Kentucky this week."
On Brady Heslip...
"What attitude he's demonstrated by coming off the bench. He is one of the premier shooters in the country, and he added to be able to get to the basket a little more - and be a little more honest on him."
On what this game means for his program...
"We're just very happy that we had an opportunity; that we let our kids see this type of atmosphere and let our kids compete, but naturally we don't have to quickness, the concentration level, nor the strength to play at this level of basketball."
"For us to be able to have this opportunity for our kids to be able to say, `Hey we get to go play a game on Fox TV,' that's a big deal. That's a big deal to our kids."

In Brief: Erie man sentenced to 10 years for molestation, sexual assault
Assaults on girls bring up to 10 years in prison
An Erie man was sentenced Thursday in Erie County Court to serve two to 10 years in state prison on charges he repeatedly molested a 9-year-old girl and had sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old girl in separate incidents in late 2012.
Devon M. McLaurin, 23, also must pay court costs and register his whereabouts with police for the rest of his life under Megan's Law, Judge Shad Connelly said.
The sentence came after McLaurin pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of indecent assault and corruption of minors in connection with the conduct with the 9-year-old. He pleaded guilty in January to one felony count of statutory sexual assault in connection with the 15-year-old.
The prosecution dropped charges of child rape and indecent exposure.
Man faces trial in threatening letters case
A man accused of threatening to blow up courthouses and to harm police, prosecutors and others in a series of letters sent from state prison is heading to trial after waiving his preliminary hearings.
Adam W. Mallin, 25, waived his hearings before Erie 4th Ward District Judge Tom Robie on Thursday afternoon for two sets of criminal charges filed by the Pennsylvania State Police. The charges include retaliation against a prosecutor or court official, terroristic threats, harassment, stalking and bomb threats.
Police charge that Mallin sent letters in late October and in late January. He is accused of sending a series of letters to police, prosecutors, court officials and others threatening to harm or kill them; and with threatening to blow up the Erie County Courthouse and the U.S. District Courthouse, according to criminal complaints.
Erie Indemnity reports increase in profits
The Erie-based Erie Indemnity Co., which operates Erie Insurance, turned a $46 million profit in the first quarter of 2014. That's up 24 percent from the $37 million the company earned during the same quarter in 2013.
The company announced its quarterly earnings Thursday afternoon after the stock market closed for the day.
"We are off to a good start in 2014," said Terry Cavanaugh, chief executive of the company. The company also saw improvements on the investment side of the business. The company's investments earned $11 million during the first three months of the year. That's up from $7 million during the first quarter of 2013.

COLUMBIA -- They've been around a lot longer, but the bet was hatched about five years ago.
The ground rules are simple: Dom Fusci and Lou Sossamon purchased a fine bottle of scotch. It will go to the last one living, either the 89-year-old Fusci or the 90-year-old Sossamon.
They laugh about the wager, but there's a hint of seriousness when it comes up. The moment makes two things glaringly obvious: South Carolina's oldest living football legends have terrific senses of humor -- and they're doggedly competitive, even when it comes to dying.
"We don't even like scotch," Fusci said.
In the back of Mike Safran's antiques store on Whaley, just a mile or so north of Williams-Brice Stadium, is something of an unofficial USC athletics museum.
An incredible and fascinating array of memorabilia, from most every sport and as far back as the early 1900s, fills a large space in the back of the building.
But Safran has nothing like the walking, talking museum exhibits that often occupy the front room of the store.
Fusci and Sossamon love saying hello to visitors, telling and retelling old stories from their days with the Gamecocks. Most days -- even on summer scorchers, and there have been plenty in 2011 -- they sit in small, wooden chairs, enjoying each other's company and that of those who stop in to peruse.
"It's kind of hard to beat having those two as your greeters," Safran said.
Sossamon's career stretched from 1940-42. The Gaffney native, a center, was the first All-American at South Carolina.
Fusci arrived in Columbia from New York in 1941. The offensive tackle played in 1942 and 1943, served in the Pacific phase of World War II for two years and then returned to USC in 1946 to complete school.
The two men shared the experience of playing for coach Rex Enright, who they speak about, decades later, in the loftiest of tones.
Sossamon played (and Fusci watched, as a freshman) in the 1941 Clemson game -- the first USC win in the series in seven years.
Both Sossamon and Fusci still recall the joy -- and relief -- that stemmed from the 18-14 victory. Church bells rang throughout the Columbia night after the Clemson spell was finally broken.
"Friday was a university holiday after we won," Sossamon said. "That's how big of an event it was."
Enright was even given a car, a Cadillac, by alums as a reward for the victory.
"A lot of us wanted to help coach Enright," Sossamon said. "We thought the world of him."
Sossamon was later a pallbearer at Enright's funeral.
Fusci had his own memorable moments in the Clemson rivalry. In 1943, with USC holding a large lead late in its 33-6 smothering of the Tigers, someone entered as a substitute for Fusci.
The only way for Fusci to get off the field in time, without incurring a penalty, was to head toward the Clemson sideline. As he exited, he nearly ran head on into grumpy Tigers coach Frank Howard.
Fusci told Howard he had deceptive speed, for a lineman. Howard responded with things that are not suitable for print.
Before returning to his own sideline, Fusci then purchased and polished off a hot dog from a vendor near the bench.
"Because I was hungry," he said.
Fusci's final Clemson game, in 1946, also had a different tint to it. That was the so-called "Counterfeit Game," in which thousands of fake tickets were sold, leading to a surge of masses onto the sidelines at Carolina Stadium.
Howard purportedly could not see the game because of a woman -- and her large hat -- in front of him. U.S. Secretary of State James Byrnes, who would eventually become the state's governor, was even positioned on the sideline. Byrnes and Fusci talked some about the war -- during the game.
Fusci was on the field most of the time, though. That was fine with him, too, considering the number of people gathered on the sideline.
"Someone would get tackled out of bounds," Fusci said, "and knock down a couple of spectators."
There's pride for both Fusci and Sossamon that they're the living oldest Gamecocks standouts, the only breathing members of the school and state's athletic halls of fame and the all-time USC football team.
"You're darn right we're proud of that," Fusci said.
Given what sort of athletes they were, it shouldn't really come as a huge surprise that Fusci and Sossamon are still as active as they are. They exercise daily, and they drive themselves to Safran's.
"It really is true that you're only as old as you feel," Fusci said, starting to laugh. "We're pretty old, I guess, but we feel pretty good."
And there's a sealed bottle of scotch to prove it.

Here is what Vegan Mom and I indulged in on Valentine's Day. We've never been big Valentine's Day people, and with 3 kids, celebrating now means trying to stay up past 10:30. Ha! On the 14th we enjoyed a nice pasta dish (I will post that next), and then bolted these down while taking in a class piece of cinematic comedy: Dragnet.
Makes 6
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 5 tbsp cold Earth Balance margarine
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 5 tbsp cold Earth Balance margarine
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- generous 3/4 cup soy creamer (or soy milk)
- generous 3/4 cup soy creamer (or soy milk)
- 1 tsp almond extract
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold margarine (or use your fingers) until it resembled coarse bread crumbs. Mix in almonds, soy creamer, and extract with a wooden spoon. Add a splash more creamer if dough is too stiff.
2. Spread batter into an extra large non-stick muffin tin (or, grease and flour a pan if you don't have a non-stick one) with a silicone spatula. You should have 6.
3. Bake for 15-17 mins, until lightly brown on top. Let cool for a 5 mins, then remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
- 2 cups chopped frozen peaches
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp amaretto
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tbsp soy creamer
Vegan Whipped Cream
- make this recipe
1. Heat peaches and sugar in a pot over med-hi heat. When bubbling, add amaretto, reduce heat to medium, and let bubble away for a few mins. Add cinnamon. Dissolve cornstarch into creamer and add to peaches. Bring back to bubbling and stir for one min, allowing to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool in the fridge.
To Assemble the Shortcakes:
Cut shortcakes in half. Spread some whipped cream on the bottom half, and then some peach filling. Place the top of the shortcake on, then top with more filling and a dollop of cream.

Some famous home run calls in baseball:
Dave O'Brien, ESPN, on Barry Bonds' record-breaking 756th career home run, Aug. 7, 2007:
"Bacsik's 3-2 again. There's a swing and a high fly ball, right-center field. Back it goes. Racing back, Logan jumping up, and that ball is gone! No. 756. Barry Bonds stands alone. And on the night of August 7, 2007, in San Francisco, California, Barry Lamar Bonds has hit more home runs than any major leaguer in the history of baseball."
Duane Kuiper, FSN, on Bonds' 756th career home run, Aug. 7, 2007:
"Three balls and two strikes. The overshift is on. And Bacsik deals. And Bonds hits one hard. Hits it deep! It is outta here! 756! Bonds stands alone! He is on top of the all-time home run list. What a special moment for Barry Bonds. And what a special moment for these fans here in San Francisco."
Jon Miller, KNBR radio, on Bonds' 756th career home run, Aug. 7, 2007:
"And he swings. And there's a long one. Deep into the right-center field. Way back there. It's gone! A home run! An extraordinary shot to the deepest part of the yard. And Barry Bonds, with 756 home runs, he has hit more home runs than anyone who has ever played the game."
Russ Hodges, on Bobby Thomson's pennant-winning home run against the Brooklyn Dodgers, Oct. 3, 1951:
"Branca throws. There's a long drive. It's gonna be, I believe -- the Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! Bobby Thomson hits into the lower deck of the left field stands! The Giants win the pennant! And they're going crazy! They're going crazy!"
Phil Rizzuto on Roger Maris' 61st home run, Oct. 1, 1961:
"Fastball hit deep to right. This could be it! Way back there! Holy cow! He did it! Sixty-one for Maris! Look at 'em fight for that ball out there!"
Milo Hamilton on Hank Aaron's 715th home run, April 8, 1974, vs. Los Angeles:
"Here's the pitch by Downing. Swinging. Here's a drive into left-center field. That ball is gonna be -- outta here! It's gone! It's 715! There is a new home run champion of all-time ... and it's Henry Aaron!"
Curt Gowdy on Aaron's 715th:
"The ball's hit deep ... deep ... it is gone! He did it! He did it! Henry Aaron ... is the all-time home run ... leader now!"
Vin Scully on Aaron's 715th:
"Fastball ... there's a high drive into deep left-center field. Buckner goes back, to the fence, it is gone!" (Scully then paused about 25 seconds as the crowd cheered) "What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world. A black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. And it's a great moment for all of us and particularly for Henry Aaron, who is met at home plate not only by every member of the Braves but by his father and mother."
Jack Buck on Kirk Gibson's home run against Oakland in the World Series, Oct. 15, 1988:
"Gibson swings, and a fly ball to deep right field. This is gonna be a home run! Unbelievable! A home run for Gibson! And the Dodgers have won the game, 5-4! I don't believe what I just saw!"
Mike Shannon on Mark McGwire's 62nd home run, Sept. 8, 1998:
"A shot into the corner! It might make it! There it is -- 62, folks! And we have a new home run champion -- a new Sultan of Swat!"
Joe Buck on McGwire's 62nd home run:
"Down the left field line -- is it enough? Gone! There it is, 62! Touch first, Mark, you are the new single-season home run king!"
Jon Miller on Barry Bonds' 71st home run, Oct. 5, 2001:
"There's a high drive deep into right-center field, to the big part of the ballpark ... NUMBER 71! And what a shot over the 421 foot marker!"
Scully on Bonds' 71st:
"The 1-0 pitch. A fastball hit into deep right-center field. It's a way out and gone. There it is, No. 71."
Duane Kuiper on Bonds' 715th home run, May 28, 2006:
"The pitch. Bonds hits one high, hits it deep to center. Outta here! 715! The wait is over. They are on their feet at AT&T Park. Bonds passes Babe Ruth, he is second on the all time home run list!"

The View co-host Joy Behar is going to have plenty to talk about when the show returns next month.
After dating for 29 years, the View co-host, 68, and beau Steve Janowitz have tied the knot.
"She was married in New York City last night in a private ceremony," a rep for the show tells PEOPLE. "She will discuss it on Sept. 6 on The View when the show returns for the 15th season."
Behar's wedding date, Aug. 11, also coincidentally marks the 14th anniversary of the ABC daytime show's debut in 1997.
In 2009, Behar announced she and Janowitz, whom she referred to as her "spousal equivalent," had plans to wed. But later that year, she said broke off the engagement, blaming "cold feet."
Behar also hosts The Joy Behar Show on HLN.
News of the nuptials was first reported by ET Online.

BOILING SPRINGS - Murder Mystery Weekends are a special treat for those who like to guess "whodunit."
But at Allenberry Resort Inn and Playhouse, when the guests "resort" to murder, the question is not so much whodunit, but how much fun the "detectives" can have in solving some delightfully gruesome murders.
Allenberry Playhouse, 1559 Boiling Springs Road, doesn't shutter its doors once the spring-fall theater season concludes, but presents memorable weekends (late November through mid-April) of warm-hearted hospitality and cold-blooded murderous mayhem.
This year, after events on the weekends following Thanksgiving and New Years Eve, Allenberry's Murder Mystery Weekends will resume on Feb. 21-23 and continue every weekend through April 25-27.
What sets Allenberry weekends apart from others is the exceptional service, scrumptious food and festive cocktail parties in rustic surroundings.
There are two cocktail parties with elaborate hors d'oeuvres (roast suckling pig, Cajun shrimp, quesadillas, Oysters Rockefeller, fried calamari and caviar pie) preceeding the delicious dinner entrees and capped off with mouth-watering deserts - I would almost kill (figuratively speaking) for the banana fosters crepes with hot fudge sauce.
At each meal, the actors in character rotate tables, dining with the guests and answering what inquiring minds what to know, which often makes the diabolical plot thicken more than the piping hot soups.
This year's theme is dubbed "A Time to Kill" with time travel coming to Allenberry and the guests invited along for the wild ride.
A mad scientist arrives to unveil his spectacular time machine in front of all interested investors. To prove that his crazy contraption works, the mastermind pushes buttons and pulls switches to transport everyone from the 1020s to present day.
Suddenly, the raucous fun of the Roaring Twenties overtakes Allenberry. Flappers! Jazz! Prosperity! But have no fear - prohibition is left behind. What isn't left behind is murder. With the '20s come the mobsters, their molls and especially their tommy guns. Bullets fly and booze flows.
Guests will be immersed in the murderous mayhem of the 1920s and, who knows, maybe some other time periods will makes appearances too. As bodies pile up, guests will analyze the clues and solve the mystery to win a bevy of prizes. After a Saturday night costume party, the festivities end with a champagne brunch on Sunday morning when the murderer's identity is revealed.
Part of the fun is that the mystery "moves" as the meals, music and the murders are presented in different banquet halls and sites on Allenberry's specious grounds.
Having been to eight mystery weekends, I agree with Allenberry's marketing, which claims it's almost like being on a cruise (there's even a mid-afternoon serving of tea and pastry).
The only time that the guests will have "time to kill" is on Saturday afternoons. With a break from corpses cropping up or dropping down, guests have an opportunity to either take a walking tour of historic Boiling Springs, visit its village artists' galleries, or attend antiquing demonstrations in Carlisle. Those who don't want to wander too far can take a horse-drawn carriage ride around Allenberry's resort, or simply curl up in their rooms or in front of one the lodge's fireplaces.
For a weekend of shameful secrets, questionable motives and red herrings - not the ones on the hors d'oeuvres menu - it's almost a crime to miss out on what guests get: two nights lodging in one of the rustic or modern lodges, six gourmet feasts, a gala dance party, wine, soft drinks, taxes, gratuities and, of course, murder and mystery. Plus a lot of Allenberry's famous sticky buns.
Talk about something to kill for!
For prices, reservations, and weekend availability, call 717-258-3211 or visit www.allenberry.com.

staff front office very rude front office staff rude will yell at you
I got "stuck" with Dr Dhillion as my surgeon at Clovis Community. He didn't check on me once during my 6 day hospital stay nor after my surgery. After I complained to the surgical supervisor did he come see me and his attitude obviously reflected the truth that he did not care about me. At my follow-up visit I complained of one of my incisions not healing well, and he still took out my staples. 30min later my incision was open! I called his office (at 3pm in the afternooon) and he had left for the day already and his "nurse" told me to "put some gauze on it and call them the next day". Wow. If I had to do it all over again I would have followed my gut with my fist impression of this guy and demanded a different surgeon. Please please, think twice before allowing this man to care for you, you will be disappointed as his bedside manor is horrible and he will not take the time to speak with you as a human being, he treats his patients like a hunk of meat and a paycheck.
This "physician" does not wear surgical gloves nor washed his hands prior to examining this patient, EVER! The patient has an infected surgical opening, the nurses laid out the gloves, & he still not put gloves on his hands.

June 14, 2006 | On June 5 — the 25th anniversary of the month the first AIDS cases were reported in the United States — researchers at Stony Brook University in New York, in collaboration with Silicon Graphics (SGI) and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), announced that they have successfully simulated the HIV protease molecule to view the moments at which a key target for current AIDS treatment is most vulnerable to new drugs.
Working on an SGI Altix system located at NCSA, the Stony Brook team, led by associate professor Carlos Simmerling, modeled how HIV protease works across time, which the team hopes will lead to more targeted medicines to interfere with virus development. The group captured the protease in a transient fully open state — one that had been hypothesized but never directly observed.
Simmerling compares the molecule's three different conformations — open, semi-open, and closed — to car doors: "The two flaps that cover the binding site are like doors, and when the drug binds they are shut a little bit differently. People have proposed that these flaps open...but there's no structural picture of how that opening and closing happens.
"Until you know the mechanism of it, you really don't know how to change it or interfere with it. Our simulations were able to take these closed structures and propagate them in time and say, 'Look, the door opens, and then it closes when you put in the drug, that's how it works.' And it's that transient open structure that nobody saw before, so we know that these models actually can contribute something."
Simmerling's group — with assistance from Roberto Gomperts, principal scientist at SGI — developed the simulations using AMBER, a molecular dynamics application developed in part by Simmerling's lab. The team typically used 64 processors of NCSA's SGI Altix 3700 Bx2 system for each simulation. Gomperts says he is now running simulations on even larger SGI Altix systems in house to expand the scope of the research.
"It opens up other areas of pharmaceutical research that early simulations were limited to looking at the wiggling around the structure where you started and you didn't expect to get good information about structure change," says Simmerling. "By doing these simulations in a classic test case like HIV protease, it shows us that the computers and the codes are maturing to the point where they're going to be very useful."
Although SGI declared Chapter 11 status in May, CEO Dennis McKenna stated, "Our customers will continue to receive the world-class service and support that they have come to expect from SGI. We will continue to meet our customer's needs for quality products and services and remain committed to developing innovative new products and technologies." According to SGI's reorganization statement, the company expects to emerge from Chapter 11 reorganization within the next six months.
Simmerling and colleagues published initial results earlier this year in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and the Journal of the American Chemical Society and anticipate new publications later this year.

Special Feature: Commencement 2014
Cap and Gown Pickup Kicks Off Commencement ActivitiesJune 17, 2014 | by Brendan Cosgrove
EVANSTON, Ill. --- Pop music set the tone Tuesday (June 17) as Northwestern University's Class of 2014 kicked off graduation activities with a festive cap and gown pickup at Norris University Center.
Over the course of two days, almost 3,000 purple gowns, black caps and other colorful regalia will be distributed to those receiving bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees during the University's 156th commencement.
In addition to picking up their academic dress, graduates received a variety of Northwestern swag, were able to browse diploma frames and displays from the Norris bookstore, and were encouraged to donate $20.14 to any part of the University as a senior class gift. The gift comes as the University embarks upon "We Will. The Campaign for Northwestern," a $3.75 billion fundraising effort.
For the first time this year, students could sign up for "Our Northwestern," the University's new online community designed to connect alumni, students, faculty, staff and parents. Those who registered also had the opportunity to pose for a photo in front of an "Our Northwestern" backdrop. Many took the chance to write special messages full of nostalgia, thanks or Purple Pride on a dry-erase board to be included with their photo.
Graduation-related activities continue all week, with the highlight being Friday morning's Commencement ceremony at Ryan Field.

Oddly enough, I love seeing when my bananas have turned brown. It lets me continue my search for the best banana recipes.
I have a huge weakness for banana bread so its necessary for me to find a low cal/ low fat option without sacrificing taste. I was google-ing yesterday and found this wonderful recipe on about.com. I was a little wary to try it because I've tried other recipes from about.com and was disappointing but I decided to give it a try. Turns out it's a fantastic recipe! Now, its not like I can't the difference between these and the fat charged balls of banana heaven I used to make. They're just a really nice alternative.
Low Fat Banana Muffins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup splenda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup nonfat milk
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 small ripe bananas, mashed
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a nonstick 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper cups.
- In a large bowl, stir flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together. Make a well in the center.
- In a medium bowl, combine canola oil milk, egg, vanilla. Add wet ingredient to dry mixture, followed by mashed bananas. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Fill muffins cups two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes.

W.W Points= 3 per muffin (a little higher than a like for a snack but worth it!)

I took the advice from several backers and added couple more pledges. Howeve, I am not able to create a pledge for retailers cuz the game has no more room for discount ... due to my poor guess on the origami card holders.
I added 6 origami card holders to the pledge before receiving quotation from the printer. It turns out a set of 6 origami card holders is actually more expensive than the game.
The print size of six origami card holders is two times bigger than a set of card. Plus each card holder has 9 folding lines, and it has to be done manually. Here is, a nice quality game with a great deal by accident.
Lets reach the goal and play DRJ with the world first origami card holder!

5 Things That Should Get You Banned from the Internet
#2. Getting Mad at Strangers for Not Interacting With You
With social media, nobody is unreachable. If you want to follow your favorite author, TV star, or guest judge of a celebrity fat competition, now you can! And bonus: You can even interact with them to some extent. Sure, we all know it's unlikely that Neil Gaiman will respond to our erotic haikus about his hair, but hey -- maybe he read one. Maybe those words are seared into his brain forever now, even if he is too modest to respond with his exact location and the keycode to his alarm system.
That's how most people think of celebrity interaction in the social age. But not all: Some people send a tweet to Barack Obama and then, two minutes later, send a scathing follow-up damning him for losing touch with the little guy because they don't understand that the president of the United States might have better things to do than tell @ponyphalluses69 which My Little Pony he'd be, if he had to choose only one.
Pool/Getty Images News/Getty Images
"I would, of course, be Rainbow Dash. I, like this great country, have always prided myself on my spunkiness."
This strange, impossible standard doesn't just apply to celebrities, either. Now virtually any public figure, no matter how insignificant, owes a complete, thoughtful, and in-depth response to every fart noise that a random Internet denizen bothers to transcribe. I get messages through this site once in a while. Not as often as you'd think, but probably more often than I deserve. I always try to respond, especially if it's nice. Most times there's not much to say beyond "Thanks, homey! Glad you enjoyed it." A few months ago, I received one such compliment, typed up my brief response, and sent it out. In reply, I got a several-paragraph-long seething manifesto of hatred decrying my perfunctory gesture -- lamenting how horribly I'd neglected their precious words, how arrogant I was to assume that I didn't owe detailed correspondence to total strangers apropos of nothing. This random person, who had written me two sentences about how they liked something I wrote, was absolutely furious that I did not, in return, pen a Homeric epic about my dramatic journey to gently cup their balls in thanks for the faint praise they doled out. It's the most extreme example I can think of, but certainly not the only one.
And I'm fucking nobody! I'm an Internet comedian who, in the alphabetical ranking of fame, would rate somewhere among the Ankh-list celebrities. I shudder to think of Nathan Fillion's @ responses -- there must be more unnoticed, neglected fury in there than in the aftermath of a Baltimore American Idol audition.
(Baltimore never brings their A-game.)
#1. Telling Friends You've Seen It Before
This is me. This is my sin. This is my burden to bear.
I am a professional Internet. It's my job to spend most of my days out here in cyberspace, mining the asteroids of content for precious nuggets of information to deep fry in the oil of ... I ... I've lost this metaphor. Stupid Internet has ruined my attention span.
I'm trying to say that, by the very nature of my job, I've seen pretty much everything. I see the BuzzFeeds. I bear witness to the Reddits. I have StumbledUpon greatness, and lo, I was jaded back when Digg was something other than a cautionary tale about mankind's hubris. I'm like a wildly inaccurate living encyclopedia of Stuff That Doesn't Matter. If you want to talk to me about a news story, a scientific study, a pop culture theory, a crazy picture, or a particularly funny cat -- don't bother. I dimly recall everything the Internet has ever done, nostalgic and hazy like a childhood memory.
"Yes, yes I recall the great Gonad Strife of 'aught one ..."
And nobody likes me. It's not just my objectively terrible smell and constant, poorly executed thievery, either. If you've seen everything on the Internet before, nobody likes you, either.
The entire reason we have the share function of social networking is because people love the thrill of discovery. They want to be the ones to introduce new content to others, even if they had nothing to do with its creation. By finding it, we feel we had some part in making it. It's a strange misfire in the human brain, but it's there nonetheless. If your grandma sidles up to you one Thanksgiving, joy twinkling in her eyes, and offers to show you "this funny videogram [she] found on the interconnected nets" -- don't roll your eyes and tell her that even T. rex was sick of Numa Numa back when he first walked the Earth. Just smile, nod, and feign surprise.
Then, when her back is turned, you can pull out your phone and viciously mock her to all your friends on that cool new social network she won't hear of for at least three years.
That's how you do the Internet.

"When disaster strikes, local emergency management teams can quickly become overwhelmed. Under the Virginia Statewide Mutual Aid Compact, towns, counties, cities and other municipalities may seek additional resources from other member communities, so as to strengthen their response and recovery capabilities."
About Statewide Mutual Aid (SMA)
The Statewide Mutual Aid Program was developed to assist municipalities so that they more quickly and efficiently might provide vital response and recovery services during times of crisis. This program outlines common expectations, along with mitigating many of the consequences – such as those relating to insurance, liability coverage, and reimbursement – that could possibly occur without it.
This program is not designed to replace or otherwise interfere with existing day-to-day agreements between localities. The SMA program has the active support of the Virginia Municipal League, the Virginia Association of Counties, select state agencies with primary emergency response roles, and all professional emergency responder member organizations across the Commonwealth of Virginia.
In fact, it were these exact stakeholder groups that came together by way of a committee to form the program. A fundamental principle agreed to during preliminary planning was to establish such guarantee sufficient flexibility so that all municipalities would find value in participating.
Directed guidance as well as assistance is available to cities and counties with attention given to sign-on, implementation, and reimbursement procedures.

Cost recovery is a very important part of the SMA Process. It is the responsibility of the Requesting Party and Assisting Party to thoroughly understand Section 3 of the "Authorizing Resolution" and the processes outlined in the Cost Recovery Section of the Statewide Mutual Aid Plan. Rapid and accurate collection and submission of documentation will expedite the cost recovery process.
