A jet breaks into pieces after sliding off the runway at a Moscow airport. NBC's Kate Snow reports.
MOSCOW -- A Russian airliner split into pieces after it slid off the runway and crashed onto a highway outside Moscow on Saturday, killing at least four of the 12 crew on board and leaving smoking chunks of fuselage on the icy road.
Television footage showed the Tupolev 204 jet, broken into pieces, with smoke billowing from the tail end and the cockpit broken clean off the front.
A man was thrown from the plane as it rammed into the barrier of the highway outside Vnukovo airport, one witness told the TV channel Rossiya-24.
Another witness described pulling other people from the wreckage.
"The plane split into three pieces," Yelena Krylova, chief spokeswoman for the airport, said in televised comments.
An Emergency Services spokesman said four people died of injuries after the crash and four others were in hospital. Police said 12 crew members were on board, but no passengers.
"The plane went off the runway, broke through the barrier and caught fire," police spokesman Gennady Bogachyov said.
The mid-range Tu-204 was operated by the Russian airline Red Wings and was traveling from the Czech Republic, Krylova said.
Rubble from the crash was scattered across the highway and the plane's wings were torn from the fuselage, witnesses said.
Alexander Usoltsev / AP
Rescuers work at the site of the plane crash at Moscow's Vnukovo airport on Saturday.
"We saw how the plane skidded off the runway ... The nose, where business class is, broke off and a man fell out," said a witness, who gave his name as Alexei. "We helped him get into a mini-bus to take him to the hospital."
Another witness described pulling four people from the wreckage when he arrived at the scene before emergency service workers. "We could not get the pilot out of the cockpit but we saw a lot of blood," he told Rossiya-24.
Russian investigators said preliminary findings pointed to pilot error as the cause of the crash.
Russia and other former Soviet republics had some of the world's worst air-traffic safety records last year, with a total accident rate almost three times the world average, the International Air Transport Association said.
A passenger jet crashed and burst into flames after takeoff in Siberia in April, killing 31 people, and an airliner slammed into a riverbank in September 2011, wiping out the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey team in a crash that killed 44 people.
The Russian-built Tu-204, which is comparable in size to a Boeing 757 or Airbus A321, is a Soviet-era design that was produced in the mid-1990s but is no longer being made. There have no major accidents previously reported with Tu-204s.
The crash during peak holiday travel ahead of Russia's New Year's vacation, which runs from Sunday through Jan. 9, cast a spotlight on Russia's poor air-safety record despite President Vladimir Putin's calls to improve controls.

text: Case | HBS Case Collection | March 2016 (Revised May 2016) UFO Moviez—Gentle Disruption Hong Luo, Felix Oberholzer-Gee and Saloni Chaturvedi UFO Moviez is an Indian technology services provider that enables low-cost, digital delivery of films to cinemas. UFO's satellite-based technology enables a significantly wider release of films compared to traditional analog prints and standard, higher-resolution digital prints that must be transported physically. By 2015, 54% of all cinemas in India were using UFO's digital cinema system. UFO has achieved this without upsetting the industry's value chain of producer–traditional distributor–cinema-owner. The company earns revenue through three main streams: fees charged to the producer/distributor for converting films to digital format and distributing them over satellite, fees charged to the cinema owner for leasing the projection systems, and advertising revenue from ads shown during the screening of films. With cinemas in India mostly digitized, however, UFO faces challenges for continual growth. Should UFO focus on increasing its advertising revenue, leveraging UFO's core technology in other areas, or entering the business of film distribution?

JPRT: A Build & Test System
By kto on Jun 24, 2012
A while back I did a little blogging on a system called JPRT, the hardware used and a summary on my java.net weblog. This is an update on the JPRT system.
JPRT ("JDK Putback Reliablity Testing", but ignore what the letters stand for, I change what they mean every day, just to annoy people :\^) is a build and test system for the JDK, or any source base that has been configured for JPRT. As I mentioned in the above blog, JPRT is a major modification to a system called PRT that the HotSpot VM development team has been using for many years, very successfully I might add. Keeping the source base always buildable and reliable is the first step in the 12 steps of dealing with your product quality... or was the 12 steps from Alcoholics Anonymous... oh well, anyway, it's the first of many steps. ;\^)
Internally when we make changes to any part of the JDK, there are certain procedures we are required to perform prior to any putback or commit of the changes. The procedures often vary from team to team, depending on many factors, such as whether native code is changed, or if the change could impact other areas of the JDK. But a common requirement is a verification that the source base with the changes (and merged with the very latest source base) will build on many of not all 8 platforms, and a full 'from scratch' build, not an incremental build, which can hide full build problems. The testing needed varies, depending on what has been changed.
Anyone that was worked on a project where multiple engineers or
groups are submitting changes to a shared source base
knows how disruptive a 'bad commit' can be on everyone.
How many times have you heard:
"So And So made a bunch of changes and now I can't build!".
But multiply the number of platforms by 8, and make all the platforms old and antiquated OS versions with bizarre system setup requirements and you have a pretty complicated situation (see http://download.java.net/jdk6/docs/build/README-builds.html).
We don't tolerate bad commits, but our enforcement is somewhat lacking, usually it's an 'after the fact' correction. Luckily the Source Code Management system we use (another antique called TeamWare) allows for a tree of repositories and 'bad commits' are usually isolated to a small team. Punishment to date has been pretty drastic, the Queen of Hearts in 'Alice in Wonderland' said 'Off With Their Heads', well trust me, you don't want to be the engineer doing a 'bad commit' to the JDK. With JPRT, hopefully this will become a thing of the past, not that we have had many 'bad commits' to the master source base, in general the teams doing the integrations know how important their jobs are and they rarely make 'bad commits'. So for these JDK integrators, maybe what JPRT does is keep them from chewing their finger nails at night. ;\^)
Over the years each of the teams have accumulated sets of machines they use for building, or they use some of the shared machines available to all of us. But the hunt for build machines is just part of the job, or has been. And although the issues with consistency of the build machines hasn't been a horrible problem, often you never know if the Solaris build machine you are using has all the right patches, or if the Linux machine has the right service pack, or if the Windows machine has it's latest updates. Hopefully the JPRT system can solve this problem. When we ship the binary JDK bits, it is SO very important that the build machines are correct, and we know how difficult it is to get them setup. Sure, if you need to debug a JDK problem that only shows up on Windows XP or Solaris 9, you'll still need to hunt down a machine, but not as a regular everyday occurance.
I'm a big fan of a regular nightly build and test system, constantly verifying that a source base builds and tests out. There are many examples of automated build/tests, some that trigger on any change to the source base, some that just run every night. Some provide a protection gateway to the 'golden' source base which only gets changes that the nightly process has verified are good. The JPRT (and PRT) system is meant to guard the source base before anything is sent to it, guarding all source bases from the evil developer, well maybe 'evil' isn't the right word, I haven't met many 'evil' developers, more like 'error prone' developers. ;\^) Humm, come to think about it, I may be one from time to time. :\^{ But the point is that by spreading the build up over a set of machines, and getting the turnaround down to under an hour, it becomes realistic to completely build on all platforms and test it, on every putback. We have the technology, we can build and rebuild and rebuild, and it will be better than it was before, ha ha... Anybody remember the Six Million Dollar Man? Man, I gotta get out more often.. Anyway, now the nightly build and test can become a 'fetch the latest JPRT build bits' and start extensive testing (the testing not done by JPRT, or the platforms not tested by JPRT).
Is it Open Source? No, not yet. Would you like to be? Let me know. Or is it more important that you have the ability to use such a system for JDK changes?
So enough blabbering on about this JPRT system, tell me what you
And let me know if you want to hear more about it or not.
Stay tuned for the next episode, same Bloody Bat time, same Bloody Bat channel. ;\^)

Itinerario de Navegacion de los Mares y Tierras Occidentals (1575)
This treatise was written by Juan Escalante de Mendoza in 1575 under the title Ytinerario de Navegación de los mares y tierras occidentales.
Born around 1530 in Valle de Riva de Deva in Santander, Mendoza served in the Spanish Carrera de las Indias from a young age, reaching the position of capitán general de la flota de la Nueva España in 1595, one year before his death in 1596, in the city of Nombre de Dios. His manuscript was much appreciated in the Consejo de las Indias, but never authorized for publication as it was found to contain too much information on the routes and secrets of New World navigation. It is composed of three books. The first book presents a description of navigation down the Guadalquivir river, from Seville to the oceanic port of Sanlúcar de Barrameda and its sandbar, followed by a treatise of naval architecture. The second describes the navigation from the mouth of the Guadalquivir to the Gulf of Vera Cruz, for the fleet of Nueva España, and the port of Nombre de Dios, for the fleet of Tierra Firme. It includes dialogues on nautical instruments, measurement of latitude and meteorology. The third describes the voyage back to Spain and includes several dialogues on diverse issues such as the compensation of the magnetic compass, the fires of San Telmo, seasickness, shipwrecks, privateers and other topics related to sea voyages.

Restaurant traffic will be a key concern in 2014 as consumers say they plan to eat out less often — but not necessarily because of budget constraints, as has been the case since the recession. Instead, consumers say they will dine out less frequently next year because of concerns about health. Financial woes have dropped to second place as a concern likely to dampen restaurant visit frequency, according to an industry survey conducted by consulting firm AlixPartners. When they ...

The music industry must move away from the retail CD as its primary revenue generator before Christmas 2009, according to Gartner. Gartner said that reliance on revenue from the sale of prerecorded CDs is hindering the music industry from fully embracing online distribution opportunities.
In 2007, online distribution represented about 23% of revenue in the U.S, and about 15% worldwide. Gartner said that while the music industry's reliance on the disc worked well from 1985 though the U.S. market's revenue peak in 2000, CD sales are now dropping rapidly in major markets worldwide and are unlikely to regain market share. As a percentage of total revenue in the U.S. market, physical media (CDs, LPs, DVD-A and so on) have gone from 91% of revenue in 2005 to 77% in 2007 and there is also evidence that physical retailers are even reducing the physical floor space dedicated to CDs.
Enabling the transition away from retail music CDs toward online distribution is now in sight, given that 77% of U.S. households (a total of 96 million connections) will have broadband connections by 2012. Beyond these consumers, the alternative distribution afforded by Wi-Fi-enabled notebooks and rapidly improving media-enabled mobile phones pose opportunities that provide multiple paths for marketing, promotion and distribution outside the consumer's home.
"By propping up the CD business, rather than fully investing in online distribution alternatives, the major labels and the larger music industry have neither succeeded in stamping out piracy nor done much to recreate the business models of the old 'record business'. Music labels should instead emphasize 'digital first,' making all new releases and catalog issues via digital services and moving CDs to an on-demand publishing mode," said Mike McGuire, research vice president at Gartner.
By eliminating the cost of the CDs through a new burn-on-demand model, labels could cut out the expense of trying to anticipate demand and reduce costs associated with shipping. Songs or albums would always be distributed online first, leveraging the burgeoning social network sector as awareness and promotional tools to drive sales at online sites, and the growing number of mobile music services.
"The industry's comfort with past marketing and promotional practices centered on CD launches is ingrained and difficult to give up. But the reality is that digital natives and immigrants are more interested in convenience and choice," said Mr. McGuire. "This is not to say that the physical CD would disappear altogether. Rather, it could shift to being a promotional tool to be sold or given away at concerts for example."

The Collect: "Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of this redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen."
The Response: Psalm133 was led by David Maitland: *(verse 1) "Oh, how good and pleasant it is, when brethren live together in unity."
The First Lesson, Genesis 45:1-15, was read by Arthur Clark. After Joseph's brothers sold him to be a slave in Egypt, Joseph found favor with the king and became successful and important. The brothers came for help because of the drought and found Joseph in charge. Joseph forgave his brothers and the family was reunited.
The Second Lesson was Romans 11:1-2, 29-32, read by Jose Ramirez. Paul reassured the people that God would not reject them if they believed that Christ forgave their sins. "For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable."
Reverend Frnka read the Gospel of Matthew 15:21-28. This tells of the Canaanite woman who asked Jesus to heal her daughter. At first she was refused because Jesus was helping the lost of the Israelites. When she persisted that he help her, Jesus healed her daughter for he was impressed with her great faith in him.
Reverend Franka's sermon was focused on the fact that even if everyone had differences, all are still loved and are important to God. It is not just a chosen few, but everyone in the world who believes in Christ as his savior will be saved. Christ's love has no favoritism.
The church is blessed to celebrate the baptism of Riley John Greve, son of Scott and Jessica Greve. The grandparents are John and Diane Greve. Riley was presented for baptism by his parents and his god-parents, Jodie Greve and Kat Bonner. During the service everyone renewed his baptism vows. After the service the celebration continued in the parish hall. Mary Kiesling received a special birthday blessing and recognition.
Next Sunday, Aug. 24, the church will have Reverend Kern Huff as pastor at the 9 a.m. service. Al are invited to worship with St. Matthew's. PIM website.

Many people told me that they thought the old building was beautiful, and I agree, it was. However, the past several years had not been kind to it. The foundation had moved, and the walls followed suit. The corners were severely cracked from top to bottom. Whenever Kenedy has been blessed with rain, the Kenedy Chamber of Commerce developed an inside waterfall feature and pond. The walls flowed and the paneling warped, while water pooled in the floor from the outside. Furniture was rearranged, equipment and desks covered, and tote boxes strategically placed to catch leaking water and ceiling pieces that came down with each rain. Since water and electricity do not mix, the overhead lights and electrical plugs became unusable. With the asbestos, mold and electrical concerns, it was time to make the commitment to a new building. When you see the new building going up, thank Brian Mayfield, Arnold Alaniz, Elisa Rahmes, Leslie Wynn, Jo Ellen Schuenemann, Marie Cruz, Carrie Lopez, Meredith Carter, Katherine Chapman and Executive Director Carolyn McDonald for making the tough decision to take down that beautiful building and rebuild.
While the old board created the opportunity for a new Tourism and Visitor Center, the new board is taking the opportunity to create a new Chamber of Commerce business plan! On July 28, the new board held a planning session with Art Roberts of Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives. In August of 2011, the American Chamber of Commerce Executives presented Art Roberts, CCE, and former senior vice president of the Texas Association of Business, with a Life Member Award. Mr. Roberts is one of only three who have ever received the chamber profession's highest honor. He has served the chamber profession for 41 years. During that time, he led four chambers, headed a state chamber executives association, facilitated more than 500 planning retreats for local chamber boards and associations, and wrote two books. One of his books was required reading at the US Chamber Institute for 11 years. Art brought both books as gifts to Kenedy to motivate and encourage the board. Thank you Art!
The Board began their year with high expectations and Art challenged them to set new goals, reach new heights and to bring new benefit to the businesses of Kenedy and the people who call Kenedy home. The Board accepted his challenge and are excited to begin their new year! Stay tuned each week to see what The Kenedy Chamber of Commerce Tourism and Visitors Center is doing in Kenedy.

Police Chief Joe Treviño said Patrolman John Berry was called to the jail at 5:55 that morning after the suspect, Christopher Patrick Clarkson, showed up to ask for a place to stay.
Deputies were all out on calls at the time so the dispatcher at the Bee County Sheriff's Office called the Beeville Police Department.
What Clarkson apparently forgot was that no one is allowed to occupy a jail cell without first being searched.
As soon as Berry started looking through the suspect's clothing, he began finding contraband, including heroin and a weapon.
The officer confiscated 73.5 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 17.5 grams of heroin and a number of pills for which Clarkson had no prescription.
Berry also found a large knife in the man's boot.
Clarkson told the staff at the jail that he was on foot and had hitched a ride to Beeville. He said he had no idea who had given him the ride.
Treviño said the suspect told the jail staff that he had been told he could report to the county jail and he would be allowed to stay there until he was sober enough to leave.
Clarkson now faces five felony charges, including a first degree felony charge of delivery of a controlled substance.
A conviction on that charge could result in a life sentence with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Institutional Division and a $10,000 fine.
Clarkson also faces a second degree felony charge of possession of a controlled substance, four to 200 grams. If convicted, the defendant could spend 20 years in prison and pay a $10,000 fine.
The suspect also is charged with two third degree felony charges of possession of a controlled substance, one to four grams, and possession of a prohibited substance in a correctional facility.
A conviction on either of those charges could result in a 10-year prison sentence and a $10,000 fine.
Clarkson also was charged with possession of a deadly weapon, another third degree felony charge.
According to authorities at the sheriff's office, bonds on those charges came to a total of $7,000.
But paying those bonds will not get the suspect out of jail. He also is being held on a parole violation warrant. Parole violators are not allowed to post bond.

How long will the Wall Street party last?March 17,2013Wall Street was recently abuzz with news that the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed to its highest levels ever.
Turns out that, so far, the market advance is not a fluke. It continued to hover around the historic high and closed out last week at 14,490.
The previous closing record for the market was set in October 2007, when the market topped out at 14,164. Shortly after mid-fall in 2007, the housing crash came home to roost and then the financial abyss commonly known as the financial meltdown took hold, crushing the Dow to 6,547 by March 2009.
Since that time we have had a long haul back to the 2007 high. Not only has the Dow reached a new record but the Standard & Poors 500 is not far behind, within a short distance of its own record of 1,565 set in 2007.
Why is the market doing so well these days?
In general, the market advances for two reasons: strong corporate earnings and low interest rates. We have had the latter for some time, but not so much the former.
Over the past couple of quarters, the former has turned around and good earnings abound in some companies.
While investors react to good news, they stay positive only as long as the news continues to be positive.
The second reason is the continued good news out of the Federal Reserve. They have kept rates so low that money is a bargain to corporations so they can borrow and invest in their future.
Again, for investors, its not what have you done for me today? Its what are you going to do for me tomorrow?
Stocks are bought based on future earnings expectations and the more that companies invest, the greater the positive outlook for expansion and profits.
Another plus to the Feds move is the rebirth of the housing market. Its on a real upswing.
Another mild positive is the improvement in the global economy and the U.S. economy. Europe appears to be on the mend and on other continents both South America and Asia are improving.
Keep in mind that most of the players in the Dow and S&P 500 derive a good chunk of their profits from overseas activities.
We all know that the U.S. economic recovery had been spotty at best and even in the good spots the recovery has hardly been anything to write home about.
Nevertheless, corporations have pulled back in this economy, spending only what they need to. They are now seeing the fruits of their prudence and are getting profits and revenues from around the world.
Of course, all the cutbacks in corporate America back in 2009 and earlier have helped bottom lines.
If home sales are back on the rise and car sales are also up, it would seem our economy isnt too badly off.
That being said, we are still a long way from being completely nursed back to the picture of economic health. House prices are still about 25 percent below their peak. So that is still having a negative impact on peoples financial households.
All in all, its important to remember that the stock market is a leading economic indicator. And the stock market loves low interest rates especially prolonged periods of low interest rates.
And the stock market also loves good corporate earnings. As a leading indicator, future projections carry a lot of weight on Wall Street.
How long will the party last? Tough to say. An accommodating Fed plus good corporate earnings equal a rising stock market. How long will both last? Right now, Wall Street appears to be saying awhile.
Please remember that stocks should only be a part of your entire investment portfolio no matter where the Dow is. As we have all learned, what goes up can go down.

How to Shape Rugelach
Learn how to shape rugelach in this video from EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY magazine, plus dough and rolling techniques. From our collection of Step by Step cooking videos.
Hi. I'm Tracey Seaman, the Test Kitchen Director at Everyday with Rachel Ray Magazine. Today, I'm gonna show you how to make crescent-shaped cookies. I'm making a recipe called Black and Blue Berry Rugelach. I have an 8-inch rolled out round of cream cheese dough. I'm gonna top it with 2 tablespoons of seedless blackberry jam and spread it evenly with a little offset spatula. I wanna leave about half of an inch border all around. Next I'm gonna use a long thin knife to cut the dough circle into 8 portions, just cut it like a pie. It's easiest to do an even cutting job if you do 4 pieces and then cut each quarter. Okay. Next, add 2 tablespoons, heaping tablespoons of a mixture of dried blueberries or you can use currants and finely chopped walnuts and cinnamon. And then beginning from an outside edge, we're gonna roll toward the center, use my little offset spatula to help me start. You have to chill the cream cheese dough because it gets pretty soft pretty quickly. So I roll it up towards the center, put it on a lined baking sheet. You can use parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat. So if you feel like you can't move the triangle toward you, just roll it in the opposite direction. So all of these have the tip of the triangle over the top of the cookie. Next I'm gonna beat some egg whites just also a little bit loose and foamy, and then this will be brushed on and then we're gonna finish by sprinkling with some sugar, so they look nice and shiny once they're baked. Just dab the egg white on gently. Using egg white in general is a great way to finish off cookies because sprinkles will adhere to egg white. Sugar will adhere and it makes a nice shiny finish. It's just some plain regular sugar. You could use coarse sugar if you have it, just sprinkle it right on, just a pinch for each cookie. Now these are ready to go into the oven. Thanks for watching.

The deal had been rumored in recent days, but the Timberwolves had to clear salary cap room, which came when Wesley Johnson was traded to Phoenix on Friday.
"I'm excited to be returning to the NBA with the Minnesota Timberwolves," Kirilenko said in a release. "The Wolves have one of the best coaches in the league in Rick Adelman, and I feel my game fits in well with his style of play. I also like the talent that Minnesota has on the team with star players like Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio."
Kirilenko was an All-Rookie team selection with Utah in 2002 and was an All-Star in 2004.
"Over his time in the NBA he has proven to be one of the best defensive players in the world," Timberwolves president of basketball operations David Kahn said in a release. "His ability to play multiple positions and big-game experience will be wonderful assets to our team ... We are excited to see him in a Timberwolves uniform."

Two and a Half Men…
As if Alex Rodriguez hasn't done enough to fill the tabloids this year, now comes word that he shops at the same place as former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer.
Of course, I couldn't help but think of Charlie Sheen.
On TV, Charlie plays a morally corrupt bachelor with too much money…kind of like A-Rod.
He drinks excessively, and doesn't worry about the impact on others when he opens his mouth. He's the last person you'd want to depend upon if you needed help. He likes expensive clothes, albeit bowling shirts, but they are still expensive…again like A-Rod. He's compulsive, a womanizer, and has yet to act his age.
The similarities between A-Rod and Charlie Sheen a/k/a Charlie Harper are uncanny…
Daniel Padilla/iPhoto
Gustavo Cabellero/Getty Images
My only question…
If Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira are two men, what does that make A-Rod?
Gene J. Puskar/AP
One difference between A-Rod and Charlie…Charlie's funny…
The other day, Jane Heller questioned my choice of Billy Martin as my all-time favorite manager. Billy was someone you couldn't live with, but couldn't live without. His fiery, combative style always eroded ownership confidence very quickly. But the guy was simply a winner. He loved the Yankees with a very strong passion, and he was his own man. Every time he was re-hired as a Yankees manager was a great day for me…every time he was fired was very sad. I always wondered what the start of the 1990's would have been like had Billy returned for a sixth time.
To most people on MLBlogs, Billy Martin was a long ago figure. Perhaps many do not even know who he was. But I did, and I will always remember him…
Posted on YouTube by NESNMAN
I am definitely on the bandwagon of those who feel Rays pitcher David Price is destined for greatness. I have been all along, but today only reinforced why the guy has so much promise. Four scoreless innings, three hits, two walks and four strikeouts.
The Yankees lost the game, 5-0, ending their 9-game winning streak.
The Yankees also re-acquired catcher Chris Stewart from the Chicago White Sox, but he most likely falls behind Francisco Cervelli and Kevin Cash in the catching pecking order. With Cervelli most likely going back to AA Trenton, Stewart just fills catching depth at AAA Scranton.
There was great feedback regarding how everyone chose their favorite teams. Every story was very interesting, and I appreciated the ones that gave insight into all four major sports.
I am all over the board. I have been a fan of the New York Yankees and Minnesota Vikings since childhood. I grew up in Iowa, and Fran Tarkenton was my favorite QB, so following the Vikings was easy. Years ago, I was listening to The Musers (George Dunham and Craig Miller) on 1310 The Ticket in Dallas and they said if your state didn't have a professional team, you were in a "free agent" state. So, I guess I took free agency by its most literal sense given that my favorite teams are scattered across the country.
In basketball, I am a fan of the Phoenix Suns. I lived in Phoenix for eight years, and my two children still reside there. I can't say there is any one player that attracted me to the team. I liked the ownership, which was headed by Jerry Colangelo at the time, and it was easy to follow the team. I attended a number of games while in Phoenix, and today I am a big fan of Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire.
In hockey, I am a fan of the San Jose Sharks (as you may have noticed on this blog from time to time). Although I am presently living and working on the East Coast, San Jose is home. I have meant to extend my thanks to Julia for her Boston Bruins being so gracious as to send Joe Thornton to the Sharks a couple of years ago. Thanks Julia! 😉 When I get home, you can be assured that I'll be hanging out at the Shark Tank.
Have a great week, everyone! J
P.S. This is my 61st blog, so I'd be remiss if I didn't dedicate this one to Roger Maris…
6 Comments
Scott – you are welcome for Joe. I wonder if you will still be feeling "the love" if my Bruins meet your Sharks in the Stanley Cup finals. And the Phoenix Suns? I'll have to introduce you to Celtic Country when you are in Boston!😉
A-Rod. I really don't know what to say about him anymore. I am at the stage where I almost feel sorry for the Yankees. I wonder what George Steinbrenner thinks of all of this? And Billy Martin! Yes, I'm old enough not only to know who he is, but to also remember him managing the Yankees. And getting fired by them. And getting hired by them! lol – Those were the days. They were simpler then weren't they.
Roger Maris is a fine choice for blog #61!
Charlie is more entertaining, funny and hasn't posed with mirrors.🙂
My daughter will be happy to know there are other Shark fans out there!
Just a quick word on A-Rod. He's not the only ballplayer to hang out with hookers, married or otherwise. I was on the road following the team. I saw plenty of things I'd never put in the book. I'm starting to agree with Ken Davidoff of Newsday that his colleagues in the media, who say the players' personal lives are off limits, are using a double standard in this case. Oh, well. On a happier note, I love that you tipped your cap to Roger Maris. I have his autograph and it's a treasured possession. And I agree about David Price. He's going to be scary to face. Maybe we'll get lucky and the Rays will keep him in the minors a little longer!
I don't watch Two and a Half Men, but based off your description, I'm starting to think they based Charlie Sheen's character off A-Rod…
Also, I didn't much appreciate seeing the Sharks beat the Avalanche tonight… Of course, whenever I think of the Sharks, I always think of Mike Ricci and his weirdo face. Since I'm not much of a Sharks fan, I'm wondering how Claude Lemieux is doing back in the game…
JULIA – The Sharks seem to be re-capturing their early season magic, so hopefully it will translate to post-season success. It would be great if the Sharks faced the Bruins in the finals.
CANUCK – Your daughter knows hockey! She's backing a great team! Of course, my kids are Phoenix Coyotes fans, so I can't get any support from them…
JANE – More than anything, I am tired of the A-Rod stories. I tried not to delve to deeply into the latest controversy, as I don't really want to know the details. And I agree that he didn't do anything other players haven't. But I wish the A-Rod stories would go away…I don't want to hear about him until he's ready to pick up his glove and play some third.
EMILY – I've always respected the Avs, and it is great for hockey when they are winning. As for the Sharks victory, I am glad to see them finally getting back on track. Lemieux is currently hurt, but I am not sure that I am fully supportive of his return to the NHL. But I suppose it's his toughness that the Sharks wanted more than anything.
Scott – that was an awesome poem that the kids in Julia's class wrote for you. It's really amazing how kids can brighten up a day!
Have a happy rest of your Monday!

Headlines (Campus Updates)
Laurier students invited to the Long Night Against Procrastination
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Mar 11/13
The Writing Centre at Lauriers Waterloo campus is hosting an all-night workshop March 14 to 15 that will give students the opportunity to make a dent on final papers, essays, assignments, and studying.
During the Long Night Against Procrastination (LNAP), students are invited to drop by the Writing Centre, which will have open study space, on-site tutors, refreshments, and activities such as yoga over the course of the night.
Boba Samuels, a writing consultant at the Centre, said they are always looking for ways to encourage students to begin writing their papers sooner so there is time to reflect and revise.
We also know that pulling all-nighters is sometimes what we do as students to get our work done, said Samuels. This event is the perfect opportunity for Laurier students to take advantage of the bad habit of all-nighters to promote the better habits of getting feedback and revising.
The LNAP initiative first began in Germany in 2010 and has since become part of an international initiative among writing centres that has recently spread to Canada and the United States. On March 14, Laurier will be blogging with the Writing Centre at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, Ohio, which is also holding its own LNAP.
The Laurier LNAP event is March 14 at 8 p.m. to March 15 at 8 a.m. at the Writing Centre in the Dr. Alvin Woods Building. To register, sign up here.

In my opinion, sweet potatoes are a superfood on many levels. Not only are they incredibly nutritious (a 1-cup serving offers 65% of our daily requirement for vitamin C and as much as 700% of the recommended daily requirement for vitamin A), they also have a fairly low glycemic index of 17. They're also easy to find, easy to store, easy to cook, and they can function equally in sweet or savory recipes. But most importantly, they're delicious.
Learn new methods for cooking this versatile vegetable. Watch the video —->
I like to roast my sweet potatoes to encourage their dense texture to soften and bring out their sweetness. Having a few already-cooked sweet potatoes in my refrigerator is like money in the bank, so I always roast extras while I'm at it. I also will sneak a few into the oven when I'm cooking something else for a more efficient way to roast them up.
Of course, the inevitable question arises when discussing sweet potatoes: what's the difference between sweet potatoes and yams? Read our post on this subject for more information, but basically most of the tubers you see marked as yams in the supermarket are sweet potatoes.
How to Bake a Sweet Potato in the Oven
What You Need
Sweet potatoes
Vegetable oil
Aluminium foil
Baking tray
Small knife
1. Preheat oven and wash the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 375°F. Scrub the sweet potatoes well and pat them dry with a dish towel.
2. Oil them up: Prepare squares of aluminum foil for as many sweet potatoes as you are roasting. Place each potato on a foil square and drizzle with a small amount of vegetable oil. Using your hands, rub the oil in a thin, even layer all over the potatoes.
3. Prick with a fork, wrap, and roast: Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork and wrap loosely in the foil. Be sure the foil is well-sealed. Place on a baking sheet and put them into the oven to roast.
4. Check for doneness: Depending on the size of your potatoes, it may take between 30 minutes to 1 hour for them to be done. Check at 30 minutes by squeezing one of the potatoes in a oven mitt protected hand and inserting a sharp knife or fork into the center. They should feel quite soft and the knife should easily glide all the way through. If not return to the oven and check again in 10 minutes.
5. Enjoy now or save for later: Enjoy your sweet potatoes in the many ways listed below or store them in the refrigerator for later. For storage, I leave them wrapped in their foil jackets on the counter until cool and then pop them into a plastic bag or glass container and put them into the fridge. They will keep for several days. Reheat in a microwave or toaster oven or use in recipes as needed.
Notes:Sweet potatoes are very forgiving and can roast at heats lower or higher than 375°F, so the most efficient way to cook them is to include them in the oven while you are cooking something else. If there isn't room for a tray, just tuck them in here and there directly on the rack but be sure to wrap them in foil as they can ooze liquid as they roast.

Not Ready for a Franchise?
There are many reasons people feel like a franchise investment is not right for them. The biggest obstacle for most people is not the desire, not their confidence in their ability to be successful, but the actual costs involved in starting a business.
When considering financial options you must remember that purchasing a franchise and starting a business is virtually making an investment in yourself. Instead of having a portfolio manager or the economy determine your yield, investing in yourself gives you much more control of your future and return on investment.
Below are some options that you may want to consider.
- Refinancing or a line of credit on your house with tax deductible interest.
- Insurance Policies often have cash value.
- Borrow from a family member or take on an investor.
- There are companies that can help you leverage your 401K without penalties.
- There are loans available with a minimum credit score of 690.
The best advice is to seek advice from your personal banker or accountant.

Nine people narrowly escaped a devastating fire in Pupukea on Oahu's North Shore.
It started early Thursday shortly after midnight. How it started is still a mystery.
The devastation left behind at the home on 59-542 Alapio Road is shocking.
The second floor of the two-story home is gone.
"It's a two story house. They have a big 7-foot wall and the fire is just coming over it," said neighbor Ron Artis, who lives next door.
Artis ran outside to open the gate on the fence that he shares with the home being swallowed by flames.
"I notice these people trying to get out the back entrance of the property because the front entrance is engulfed in flames," said Artis. "I go over to a guy trying to pull it over so I help open it all up and about four people come running out."
Nine people were home at the time. A family of five who live there along with four other guests staying at the house.
The family who lives at the house had been renting it for the last two years. The owner of the home lives in Las Vegas.
Resident Mitzi Bokolas said it was chaos when the fire broke out.
"I looked upstairs and there was a flame coming out of one of the rooms. Then my daughter came from another room and we all started screaming and yelling and running around. Then there's a lady living in the back, so we went and got her and everybody got the animals together and we all came running outside and we were just standing there, bewildered," said Bokolas.
One of the visiting friends was sleeping in the room where the fire broke out, but wasn't injured.
But two cars were destroyed, along with a brand new Harley motorcycle.
The family's dogs made it out safely; their pet cat did not.
"We don't know how it started. They're going to investigate and I'm going to be curious to find out," said Bokolas.
The family said they plan to stay with friends for now.

I wrote a note recently in which I said somebody was "done for". In other words, he's reached the end of his line, the jump off point.
Voilà, all euphamisms aside, the gent is dying. But I realize, I said, he's "done for" instead of "he's dying".
Where did that expression come from, do you think?

I dont know (where it comes from) but I know it well.
'done for' also could mean caught...doing something illegal, like by police.

In Mississippi we say "done for" when we mean "done for good".
Maybeso the unspoken "good" adds finality as does "done for sure".
And maybeso "done for God" was once a religious phrase used at funerals which later transmuted into "done for good". But "done for good" is semantically illogical so we say "done for" with the "good" serving as an unspoken intensifier of "done".
Or maybe not.

My interpretation of the phrase, with absolutely no authoritative backup, is that it relates to "doing for" someone in the sense of domestic service, as a valet or a lady's maid: "Robert was hired to do for Mr. Halt-Rodney." When one is "done for," all possible service has been rendered, further service is neither necessary nor possible.

nice, informative, interesting article re DLEE, that last pic of TD is intense!
thanks, loco ocho!
1. Gallinari, Douglas Are Keepers, Is Lee?
By Chris Sheridan
NEW YORK -- The primary reason why the Denver Nuggets are now another game back in the Western Conference loss column is because two of the rarest commodities -- players the New York Knicks view as keepers -- were fantastic for a night.
Danilo Gallinari and Toney Douglas are two of the four players (the others are injured veterans Eddy Curry and Wilson Chandler) the Knicks have under contract for next season.
Galinari scored 17 of his 28 points in the third quarter, and Douglas had all seven of his assists in the same period as New York used a 34-21 surge in the third to defeat the Nuggets 109-104 Tuesday night.
The Knicks also got another double-double of 12 points and 16 rebounds from David Lee, but Lee does not necessarily fall under the same category as Gallinari and Douglas.
His numbers say Lee is a keeper, but the free agent market may dictate otherwise. And there is a very strong chance that Lee is about to play the final 11 games of his Knicks' career because New York will not be able to keep him for financial reasons if they hit the jackpot and bring in two of the top unrestricted free agents on the market.
New York is currently projecting itself to have $33-plus million in cap space this summer, enough to sign two max-salary players. But that $33 million also could be enough to sign one max perimeter player, be it LeBron James, Dwyane Wade or Kobe Bryant (yes, Bryant has an opt out, too, though the subject of him joining this summer's free agent class is almost never publicly broached), and then to use the remainder to re-sign Lee (at a starting salary in the $10 million range) while still leaving enough money to go out and get another player -- perhaps a center to take away much of the low-post defensive burden that Lee has had to shoulder for two seasons.
"At this point there's not much that can happen, so many different things, and a lot of it is a trickle down effect from what other guys do, what other teams decide to do and what direction the Knicks decide to go. So there's so many different factors, it's impossible to look at it right now and guess what the outcome is going to be," Lee told ESPN.com.
Tuesday night's double-double was Lee's 46th of the season, tying Utah's Carlos Boozer for third-most in the NBA behind Dwight Howard and Zach Randolph.
Lee led the NBA in that category last season with 65 double-doubles, and he is the first Knick to reach that mark at least 45 times in consecutive seasons since Patrick Ewing did it from 1992-94.
Lee also was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team this season, and the Knicks gave him a $7 million contract last summer when he was a restricted free agent as a reward for his four years of diligent service, rather than forcing him to sign his qualifying offer worth a fraction of that amount.
"When I got here, what I didn't understand was how good he was in the area of scoring around the basket," Knicks president Donnie Walsh told ESPN.com. "I mean, he's got phenomenal use of both hands, his shots around the basket are attempted while going at shot blockers -- and he makes them. So he's got a real ability to score. Last summer he spent the whole summer working on his shot as he did the summer before, but now he's hitting from the outside. So offensively he's a big guy that's very talented."
Still, the Knicks are not ready to commit to Lee beyond this season, because doing so might take them out of the running for James, their No. 1 choice.
That's because if James decides to leave Cleveland and sign with New York, he'll likely want to have a strong say in who is going to be lining up alongside him for the next 3-to-5 years. James and Lee have a cordial relationship, but if James tells the Knicks he wants Bosh as his running mate, and if Bosh is on board, too, guess who's going to be dangled in a sign-and-trade offer to the Raptors?
It'll be Lee.
"I wouldn't say I've been a victim (of circumstances) in a bad way. Last summer, I guess it happened for a reason. I guess I would have been a victim if I came back and had a horrible season, but the Knicks decided they wanted to save their money for the upcoming summer, and I still got a great one-year deal with it," Lee said.
"Now, you could say there's a lot more good players, but there's also a lot more teams with cap space. So it works both ways: It's a big buyer's market but also a big spender's market. There's a lot of supply, but there's also a lot of demand," Lee said.
Tuesday night's win was only the 26th of the season for the Knicks, and one of the knocks against Lee is that for all his statistical production over the past five seasons, New York has never won more than 33 games with him on the roster.
Granted, those losing seasons have been accompanied by all manners of fits, starts and changes in direction for the franchise, but how much of that failure can truly be pinned on Lee? And how much will that impact what he is offered when Miami, Chicago, New Jersey, Minnesota and the Clippers will all be flush with cap space as soon as the calendar turns to July 1.
One of Lee's veteran Knicks teammates said Lee should accept a starting salary of no less than $10 million in his next contract. Whether someone will be willing to bid higher remains to be seen.
"That is going to reflect on his market value in the sense that if you're playing him at a certain level, you expect that guy to take you to wins. But I don't think he's had the components around him that he can take the blame for that," Walsh said. "He's a very good player, and I don't think anybody at his position could have done any better than he did, so I don't think you can hang all the losses on him."
One factor that no one is quite certain about is how the timing of James' decision could impact the market.
If James makes up his mind by the fourth of July, the other dominoes will start to fall rhythmically.
But if James takes his time and drags his decision into mid-July or later, it'll be a mad scramble and an excruciating decision for teams deciding whether to act immediately or to wait.
"I'm not going to talk specifically about one player, but I expect these things to get worked out rather quickly because that's usually what happens," Walsh said. "I think if you really look at the practicality of it, there are going to be five, six, seven free agents that are top-level guys. Not at the very top, but some team is going to walk in and say 'OK, I'll give you this offer. You either take it by tomorrow morning or it's gone.' I don't think they'll do that with certain guys, but with some they will. So the market will start moving."
But where Lee lands in that market -- and whether circumstances allow him to stay in New York, his No. 1 choice -- will remain unknowns until this summer's free-agency madness begins to play out.
Only then will Lee learn if he is like Gallinari and Douglas -- a keeper.
ESPN Insider Chris Sheridan is a regular contributor to the Daily Dime
The Knicks priority on signing David Lee this summer is about as important as which tube sock belongs on which foot.
He's meaningless, useless, and has a minimal roster filling-bench player value.
Walsh knows we have bigger fish to fry! Isn't that obvious. Don't gas it a put Lee anywhere near a debatable signing!
He's the back-back up plan.
David Lee is a excellent player. he averages 20 points a game and is a Double Double Machine! He may not be a good Center but he is an Excellent Power Forward. Not to mention he Plays with class and dignity. Something LeBron does not. Also he appreciates the fans. Something LeBron does not.
Also I dont know why 90% of knicks fans are like
"If wez dont get get Lbaun an bush were screwed!1!11!"
Look we dont need to get both LeBron James and Chris Bosh. All we need is one, we can resign David Lee, Draft a good Center, Sign Chris Bosh or LeBron James, Then resign or Rookies. Then by next Year or Rookies will have developed more, David Lee will be in his prime, and we can sign Carmelo Anthony with the money from Eddy Curry's expiring contract.
correction. Lee is an excellent offensive player. As amplified by D'Antoni's aborted phetus formally known as defense. NY's previously best defender preached D'Antoni 's defensive emfactuation with defense.
Good fellatio will inspire good words from any man.
DLEE is just not good on defense. If he wants 10 million then he can find it else where. The Knicks did him a favor by signing him to a 7 mill 1-year deal where he can showcase his talents to the prospective buyers.
him making the Allstar team pretty much put him out of NY's financial reach
It doesn't equal $10m+/year. Especially at the pivot. If he's playing next to D Howard: Sure.
But as Dennis Johnson, DJ3, recently said: Make the most of your minutes as a mismatch. Lee should honestly be thankful that he's been the absolute best player on a cruddy team for this long, playing his brand of basketball.
anyone else noticed that David Lee is actually blocking shots nowadays? He gets 2 blocks this night, a block the other night. A Block from 3 games ago etc. I think he's trying to be a better defensive player. David Lee used to get ZERO blocks but recently he's getting blocks. Opinions on this?
Toney Douglas is a rookie not a keeper.
Gallo is a 2nd season player not a keeper.
Chandler is a 3rd season player who "earned" an extension before his 4th season, which makes him a keeper after his rookie contract.
Do u think Jordan Hill will finish out his rookie contract in Houston?
Defensive plays??? What defensive plays??
Lets see....stay in your zone, put your hands up, contest the shot, stay in front of your man...are these the defensive plays that d'antoni runs?? cause these are the things Lee is messing up on.
No, D-Lee plays worse than a D-leaguer on defense. Though d'antoni has many faults, this one goes to Lee 100%. He doesn't intimidate anyone in the paint, not even point guards. It's absurd.
Stay in your Zone
Put your hands up
Contest the Shot
Stay in front of your man
David Lee can easily improve his D in the off season. Not to mention David Lee isnt a Center. Hes a Power Forward.
if Lee spends this summer working on Blocking and moving feet better on defense then resign him no matter what, he said himself he wants to stay here
he has a lot to improve on, he developed a mid range jumper at a crucial time, without it we'd probably be worse than the nets
and he still needs a post move, he doesn't even have ONE, it's pathetic being he's 6'9", when ur that short u have to move better. being tall u can get away with hook shots ur whole life, but lee is suffering inside 1 vs 1 at this point

Believe it or not, the things you see and do on the Internet don't just happen by magic. No matter the site, someone is behind the scenes, pushing the buttons and hyperlinking the text and airbrushing the girls so you, the reader, have a pleasant Internet experience. Either that, or they're just making everything look presentable so they can steal your bank account info and give your computer AIDS. It's almost always one or the other.
The point is, for some people, the Internet is their workplace. I've counted myself among that group for just over two years now (full-time, anyway). What I do is basically a fast food version of comedy, and I'm the guy putting the dick jokes on the trays and handing them to the customers.
And like any other job that involves dealing with the public, you meet some interesting people along the way. I'm going to talk about one group in particular today: the delusional.
Before I go on, though, I feel like I should clarify something. I understand that there is an actual list of symptoms that have to be present for someone to be considered "delusional" in the strictest sense of the term. Further, I understand that all of these entries might not meet that criteria. But let me assure you, I do not care.
With that in mind, here are the four most delusional people you meet working on the Internet.
4The Useless Domain Name Squatter
MTV VJ Adam Curry bought the rights to the domain name MTV.com way back in 1993 when barely anyone gave a damn about the Internet. Fast forward to a few years later when people did start caring about the Internet, and MTV had to take Curry to court and shell out a huge wad of cash to get the rights to the name.
And that's the story of how buying an Internet domain name before the person who might actually need it has a chance to became a way to make money on the Internet. Now, there are people who do just that for a living. If a bus crashes into a Waffle House in Louisiana, someone will own the domain name LouisianaWaffle- HouseBus.com four minutes later and then resell it to you for five times the price eight minutes later.
While this can indeed be a savvy way to make a few extra bucks, it's important to not let delusions of what kind of financial windfall you're in for cloud your judgment when setting a selling price. For example, prior to joining Cracked in late 2011, I was the managing editor at a Playboy-owned website. At some point during my tenure there, it was revealed that someone was posting all of our content on a site with a name identical to ours, except with ".blogspot" inserted between the name and the ".com". It's been approximately never since anyone actually read a Blogspot site, but still, you don't want people just posting your shit freely without consequence.
Seriously. Don't do it.
In lieu of setting up an actual fight somewhere, we had Playboy's legal team swing into action to demand that this miscreant stop stealing our stuff. As a gesture of goodwill, we also had them inquire about maybe purchasing the Blogspot domain name from him. Not that it was of any use to anyone, but it's the kind of thing you could envision chaining up in your basement so you can point at it and laugh whenever you're down there. Like that retarded child we wrote about taking care of back when Cracked was staffed exclusively by crazy people.
So a query was made and a reply was received. This fucking lunatic wanted ONE MILLION DOLLARS for the rights to his bullshit Blogspot domain name. It was a funny number in the first Austin Powers movie, and it was an even more hilarious figure this time around. One million dollars for a cheap clone of a site that, for the most part, nobody really gave a shit about.
Shockingly, the offer was declined, and that bullshit Blogspot site is still standing. If anyone is interested, you can probably buy it for a lot less cash these days.
3The Social Media Guru
Remember when Digg was a thing that people cared about? Neither do I, but there was definitely a time when that was the case. For those of you unfamiliar, Digg was (is, but barely) a site that allows users to submit links to all manner of Internet content. Other users can then vote on which of those stories are promoted to the front page. It's a lot like the American political system in that it's a democratic system rife with corruption and mostly controlled by big corporate interests.
It also gave a lot of people jobs. See, Digg was absurdly easy to manipulate. All you really had to do was assemble a big group of friends willing to blindly "Digg" everything you submitted. In return, you would do the same for them. Sure, it meant you would spend five hours a day clicking the Digg button on an endless stream of bullshit stories, but it also meant that whatever you had to promote would stand a better chance of making it to the front page of Digg. And being on the front page of Digg, at least once upon a time, meant a ton of inbound traffic to that content you were trying to get eyes on. Of course, more traffic means more ad revenue.
Becoming a Digg "Power User" was absurdly easy, but to people who didn't know that, a person with the ability to make a story hit the front page of Digg was viewed as some kind of Internet marketing genius. Unsurprisingly, "social marketing professionals" began popping up left and right. People were paying good money to see their content on the front page of Digg and all of the extra traffic that came with it. Next thing you know, people with strong Digg accounts were being hailed as the king of all social media.
"If mom could see me now, she'd still be so very disappointed."
At one point in 2009, it's estimated that upwards of 60 percent of the ADD and Asperger's stricken members of society were employed as "social media consultants." That last statement is false only because the facts it contains are not true. But trust me, it captures the spirit of the Digg situation in 2009. And every single one of those twitchy fucks thought they literally made the Internet work. Digg was the biggest news portal on the Internet, and they were the gatekeepers who controlled what information made its way to the masses.
But then, seemingly overnight, the bubble burst. Digg had been promising changes aimed at curtailing the rampant abuse and misuse of the system for months. It would take another entire article to explain why, but for all intents and purposes, these changes destroyed Digg. Having a story hit the front page of Digg now meant you'd get maybe 5,000 page views, as opposed to the hundreds of thousands that the same feat earned you prior to Digg's unfortunate overhaul. The ability to make a story popular on Digg was essentially useless.
Suddenly, all of those Digg "experts" were hit with a stunning realization. Their entire job could literally be summed up with this one sentence ...
"I push a button until something happens."
Outside of Digg and most video games that involve fighting, that's a pretty useless skill. But even through signs of obvious trouble, Digg has stuck around, and legions of "social media gurus" are still out there sharing links and clicking that Digg button, even though it's pretty clear that the site is nearly dead.
With Digg recently being sold for an amount that may have been but probably wasn't $500,000, it's pretty safe to say that we'll be seeing a lot more of this on the streets soon ...
The only stock photo of a bum I'll ever love.
Just joking, they're all just moving on to Reddit.

text: My LO is almost 8 months and LOVES her solids!! I feed her about 4oz 3x a day. I still nurse 4-5x a day. My goal for the future is to just nurse first thing in the morning and right before bed-time for as long as she'll let me but offer solids during the day. The few times that we've skipped nursing (the dinner-time feeding) and just offered solids she's done fine it's me that's the problem! I just want to make sure she's getting enough liquids. We have no problem with constipation and she has plenty of wet diapers, I just need to know how to supplement with fluids. She refuses water (even in a bottle) and I don't want her to get stuck on juice. Any suggestions?

Eldred graduation: Class of 2013
Many students received scholarships, with some students receiving multiple ones. The scholarships were presented by high school principal Scott Krebs and guidance counselors Kimberly Gueren and Michelle Galo.
After the scholarships were given, the big event—the presentation of diplomas—began, presented by honored teacher and president of the Eldred Board of Education, Douglas Reiser. One by one the students walked to receive their diplomas, and returned to their seats as official high school graduates. Each student was met with applause and shouts of encouragement.
The students walked down the stage and through the aisle during the recessional, ready to begin their next phase of life—fearlessly.
