Gov. Togiola Tulafono has cautioned government directors not to get carried away during this political season and advised them to work together instead of being in conflict with each other.
Togiola's statements, made during Monday's cabinet meeting, comes at a time when Samoa News has received reports from ASG employees who allege that certain directors are "bickering" with each other and important work cannot be accomplished due to "political" differences in gubernatorial teams they support.
The 2012 Flag Day will be dedicated to Gov. Togiola Tulafono, who will deliver his last Flag Day address in this year's two-day event set for Apr. 17 and 18 at the Veterans Memorial Stadium. The governor's address will occur at the Flag Day opening on Apr. 17, along with the flag raising and parade.
In an Apr. 9 general memorandum, Togiola declared the two days to be observed as Flag Day holidays in American Samoa and all local government offices will be closed and all normal activities will be suspended on those days.
A Wildlife Health Presentation was conducted yesterday morning by Thierry M. Work of the US Geological Survey (USGC) National Wildlife Health Center-Honolulu Field Station, at the local Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (DMWR) conference room. The USGC is collaborating with DMWR to understand the causes of death (mortality) of wildlife in American Samoa.
The Student Support Services (SSS) division of the American Samoa Community College (ASCC) invites the public to join them for a free Cultural Workshop this Thursday featuring artist and filmmaker Galumalemana Steven Percival from the Independent State of Samoa. The workshop will take place this Thursday, April 12, at 12:30 p.m. in the ASCC Lecture Hall.

Devastating floods in Fiji last week killed at least five people and left over 8,000 homeless. Fiji is considered one of the Worlds "Climate Change" hotspots and Fiji is just 770 miles from American Samoa.
In Tuvalu families are moving off of their Islands or to higher ground and planning for the time when their atoll will be completely underwater. They are securing their rights to their underwater lands, their fishing rights, and their mineral rights. Tuvalu is 790 miles from American Samoa.
A 62-year-old matai or chief of Fagaima and a 22-year-old man made initial appearances in the District Court yesterday in connection with a case involving a 16-year-old girl who was impregnated as a result of the alleged sexual acts.
The Criminal Investigation Division (CID) with the Department of Public Safety executed the arrests warrants on the two men and escorted them to the District Court and back to the Tafuna Correctional Facility following their appearance in court.
Tautua Mo Oe, the ever-expanding powerhouse family of businesses located in Ottoville along the Fagaima road, is happy to announce the second anniversary celebration has rolled around for their hardware division — TMO Hardware — which has a great selection of products for the home builder, contractor, and handyman.
Without taking any action, Gov. Togiola Tulafono returned to the Legislature late last week the Senate bill (S.B 32-32), which seeks to override the governor's veto of the $60.37 million supplemental budget for the American Samoa Power Authority through July 31, 2012.
The override bill was approved in February by two-thirds majority of both the Senate and House before it was transmitted to the governor's office.
Two weeks ago, the appointing division of the High Court appointed Marcellus Tala Uiagalelei as the Independent Prosecutor.
Uiagalelei told Samoa News that he's working on the cases against House Vice Speaker Talia Fa'afetai I'aulualo, former Deputy Commissioner of Public Safety Filifa'atali Mike Fuiava and former Manager of the Office of Motor Vehicles Marie Ripley.

Rooty's New York Adventure
15th October 2012
Rooty had a fun weekend in the Big Apple– New York City– land of bright lights, big dreams, fashion trendsetters, investment bankers and a little bit of Wisconsin.
After walking several blocks he tried to trade some Root Beer and Rooty charm for a free Rickshaw ride. That didn't work so he proceeded to the hot dog cart hoping for a bite of a genuine NYC hot dog. Alas, the vendor wasn't ready to serve so Rooty wandered across the street to visit with a horse whose pulls a carriage (full of tourists) for a living. Unable to talk the price down to something Rooty could afford (free), Rooty decided to hang for a bit and keep the horse company.
On Sunday morning Rooty headed to the celebrated Kettle of Fish (57 Christopher St.) to watch the Packers play the Colts. As many people know, and many Wisconsinites set their alarm clocks for, the Kettle is the place to go for Packer games. Word of warning: all though the news is out, in case you weren't previously aware, get there early or you'll never get in.
All the bartenders and waitresses at the Kettle do a great job
at keeping Packer fans happy. They sell Sprecher Special Amber, Black Bavarian and Root Beer; have cheese and sausage to snack on; and you get a Usinger's brat with your entry ticket. Including and beyond these goodies, the Kettle during a Packers game is a cultural experience. Another chorus of "I Love My Green Bay Packers," anyone? Owners of the Kettle, Patrick and Adrienne, have put Wisconsin on the NYC map (in a good way).
Sprecher Brewings and Doings — GO Marquette!!!
25th February 2009
If you love basketball, especially college basketball, Milwaukee is the place to be tonight! In less than 30 minutes, the Marquette Golden Eagles (8) meet the UConn Huskies (2) on the Al McGuire Court in the Bradley Center. A lot is riding on this game — beyond bets — top position in the Big East, post-season seeding, etc. The crowd will be WILD! Marquette students started lining up at 3pm CST yesterday for seats at tonight's game. Throughout the 20-40F weather they remained waiting on cold sidewalks for the gates to open so they could cheer on their team. And it will be a very loud Bradley Center this evening.
If you don't have your seat now and don't have a wad of cash to get one (as of yesterday, the least expensive seat with a view was selling for about $300), then find a good bar and join in the fun. As always, in Milwaukee you can pick almost any watering hole and have a great time when there's a sporting event. Ahhh, camaraderie. A word of warning: Milwaukeeans seriously love their teams, so if the Golden Eagles don't win, there will probably be a big sense of depression in town for the next couple of days, kind of like the day after feeling when the Packers lose.
I emailed my friend Gary who owns Standings, a fun beer and sports bar in NYC's East Village, to put in my long distance cheer for Marquette. Most important since he's a UConn alum and a huge Huskies fan. If you're looking for a locale to watch the game in NYC, check out Standings or Kettle 'o Fish. Maybe Mad River Grill as well. That's a dedicated Badger bar but for a contest this big I bet they'll have the game on.

Thoughts inspired by use of The Fort
The problem seems to be a student that is difficult to impossible to control due to the student's lack of respect for the educational system and his fellow student's rights to a proper learning environment. Possible emotional problems.
The solution employed was to separate the offender from the rest of the class by placing him in a cardboard box named "the fort".
The reasoning (I'm guessing here) is to cause the offender to lose any feeling of belonging. To make him believe that he is inferior, different, and not welcome. To cause the rest of the class to reject him and thereby make him see that they do not recognize his participation in any way.
Personal experience was that I was challenged to do what I did, teach, while being distracted by assaults on my competence and abilities. I felt disrespected, and disadvantaged. The offender could cuss, yell, threaten, name-call, change the subject, and throw things, while I was limited to words.
The reality was that just because the student challenges, does not require a defense. My feelings of inadequacy were there long before I met this student. He was just confirming those doubts. This is the real advantage the student had over me. He knew me better than I did. Now, my emotions had overpowered my intellect and fight or flight had taken over. I can't fight and still keep my job so now who is impossible to control and has a lack of respect for the school system? Is there room for two in the fort?

What is in this article?:
- Soybean rust makes early appearance in Carolinas
- Rust prediction models
• Soybean rust was detected in soybeans in Robeson County, near St. Pauls, N.C., on Sept. 11 and in Johnston County today. This is the earliest soybean rust has been detected in North Carolina.
More About:
Soybean growers in the Carolinas and Virginia will get an early visit from Asian soybean rust, apparently thanks to a storm spun from Hurricane Isaac.
The disease was found last week in Barnwell County, S.C., and this week in Robeson County, N.C.
This is particularly alarming because Asian soybean rust has never been found this early in North Carolina, says long-time North Carolina State University Soybean Specialist Jim Dunphy
Dunphy says soybean rust was detected in soybean in Robeson County, near St. Pauls, N.C., on Sept. 11 and in Johnston County today. This is the earliest soybean rust has been detected in North Carolina.
Rust was identified on one of four leaves brought to the lab. The earliest detection of soybean rust in North Carolina in previous years was Sept. 15 in 2007, he says.
Full season soybeans that have just reached full bloom (stage R2) typically have 65 days until they're safe from rust or frost (stage R7) or closer to 55 days for double crop beans.
If soybeans have small pods in the top of the plants (stage R3), they have 55 and 47 days, respectively, to R7. With full sized pods in the top of the plants (stage R4), they have 45 and 38 days, respectively, until R7.
From stage R5 (small seeds in the top of the plant) they typically have 35 and 30 days, respectively. From stage R6 (full sized seeds in the top of the plants), they typically have 20 and 17 days, respectively.
Rust will typically take 10-20 days from initial infection to develop to detectable levels. It will take another 7-14 days to spread to other leaves on the same plant, and another 10 days to cause significant defoliation.

A Father's Day Story 2001
Author's Note: This will be a multiple-post day. Since it's Father's Day, I thought I'd re-share, for those who missed it, my Father's Day post from 2010. Happy Father's Day, one and all!
June 15th, 2001. It was a Friday. Mrs. 40 Year Ranger Fan (although she hyphenates the name Mrs.Mariner Fan-40 Year Ranger Fan) approached me as we were preparing to sleep for the night.
"Honey, you know my friend (name withheld to protect the guilty)? She had a special piece of furniture made for her father for Father's Day. It's a guy who lives north of town and it's a pretty heavy piece. She wants to bring it home and get it in the house before her father wakes up so it'll be there for Father's Day." She then stumbled through the next sentence. "I… I kind of… Well, I kind of promised her we'd help her pick it up."
"OK," I said, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It did.
"We're going to have to go over to her house at 5 AM. Don't be upset, baby. She's done a lot for us and I want to help her!"
"OK," I said, already thinking about setting the alarm for 4 AM on Father's Day.
Sunday arrives. The alarm rings at 4 AM. Groggily I take a shower and get dressed. The hot water doesn't even begin to wake me up. We drive over to the friend's house. When we arrive, all the lights are out at her house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The wife gets out the cell phone and calls. No answer on her friend's cell phone. "I hate the idea of waking her father up, but I need to call her home number," she says. Apparantly somebody answers because see tells me, "She overslept. She'll be right out."
I'm falling asleep in the car.
Eventually the friend comes out, carrying her 4-year old son and some other stuff. I'm not paying much attention. I'm just sleepy.
The missus tells me to get into her friend's car. I comply. The friend puts the 4-year old in the back seat with me. He's as sleepy as I am. While I note it, I don't think anything of the fact that the friend's mother and father are standing right there on the front step. I may have thought that the surprise for her dad must be ruined since he's seeing her leave, but that was about it. I pay no attention to what the wife is doing as she's putting things in the trunk.
We depart in the friend's vehicle and head north. We reach the next town and continue heading north. After 15 minutes or so we have cleared the northern border of said next town. Wearily, I ask, "Where is this piece of furniture, in Falfurrias (about an hour away)? My wife turns around in the front seat.
"Actually, we're not going to get a piece of furniture."
"What are we doing then?"
"We're going to Houston to see the Astros-Rangers game."
"Yeah, right. Houston is six hours away."
"I'm serious, baby. We're going to Houston to see the Astros-Rangers game!"
"I can't go to a game. I don't have the right clothes to go to a ball game! I need a jersey and a cap"
"I already packed it. I can't believe I pulled this off. You didn't have a clue!"
She was right. I didn't have a clue.
We drove six hours to Houston to what was still Enron Field at the time. On the way, I opened Father's Day cards from my wife and our one remaining son at home. My son gave me a book on major league ballparks. When the 4-year old woke up we got acquainted. I was glad to talk to someone who was as clueless as I was.
We met up with a friend of the friend in front of the ballpark and took our seats, upper deck on the third base side. The Rangers started Darren Oliver against the Astros Scott Elarton. We scored a run in the top of the first on a Ruben Sierra sac fly, but the 'stros came back in the bottom of the first with a solo shot by Craig Biggio.
Biggio struck again with his second homer of the game in the third inning. It stayed 2-1 Astros until the top of the 5th when Pudge Rodriguez knocked in a run with a single and Alex Rodriguez followed with a three-run shot to make it 5-2. A 9th inning sac fly by Bo Porter (who I don't even remember) closed out the scoring and the Rangers won for me on Father's Day 6-2.
After the game, we started filing out of the park. We were close to the wall looking out over the street and the 4-year-old accidentally drops his souvenier 12-inch bat over the side. Thank goodness it didn't hit anyone! We drove home and I was back at work the next day following a one day 12-hour road trip with a three hour game in between.
While it was the first time I discovered that I don't recover as quickly from one day road trips as I used to, it was an unforgettable Father's Day surprise. Thanks, honey!
The Final Countdown (REM Edition): Rangers 3, A's 2
On the day REM announced "It's The End Of The World As We Know It, And I Feel Fine" once again, becuase a number was shaved off the magic number with the Rangers' come from behind 3-2 win over the A's. Rangers fans are "Shiny Happy People" while in Anaheim, "Everybody Hurts". Since the countdown began at ten, the Rangers have successfully gotten at least one step closer for seven consecutive days. No doubt about it, this diehard Texas Rangers fan is not "Losing My Religion". In fact, I see the team as "Superman." I will gladly "Stand" to cheer them on any day, since, as far as sports teams go they are "The One I Love."
The Final Countdown: Rangers 7, A's 2
Angels win, but the Rangers drive another nail in the coffin. Rich Harden FINALLY does his part to bring the Rangers an AL West title. Texas just had to get rid of him to do it…
The Magic Number Countdown Begins: Rangers 7, Indians 4
In the Rangers' 7-4 win over the Indians:
Alexi Ogando needed 39 pitches to get out of the second inning, yet not one Indian crossed the plate to score.
Ogando only needed 30 pitches to get through the 3rd, 4th and 5th.
Michael Young hit a bases loaded double, giving him over 100 RBI for the second time in his career.
Josh Hamilton hit his third home run in as many days.
Texas finished the season 9-1 vs. the Tribe.
The magic number countdown has begin:
Hello Mr. Wilson!
Who knew it would take over 40 years to make me want to act like Dennis The Menace and just drop by CJ Wilson's house to bug him. But I do. I want to march over to his house right now and repeat "Please re-sign with the Rangers" over and over and over and over and over and over until he has no recourse but to re-sign, if only to get me off his back and off of his property.
Mr. Wilson took the mound Sunday after the Rangers had seen their AL West lead shrink to a mere game and a half over the second place Angels and proceeded to pitch eight innings of shutout baseball in leading Texas to an 8-1 win and a 2-1 series win over the Oakland A's. A money performance from a money pitcher, and one who is now working on a 17 inning scoreless streak. Meanwhile, the Angels blew a chance to sweep the Yankees, with a dropped fly ball leading to two Yankees runs which put the lead back to 2 1/2 games, now with only 15 games to go.
To take a little bit of the luster off the Rangers win yesterday and the 11 strikeout performance, the A's did rest a lot of their regulars in the game, so CJ wasn't exactly facing an optimal line-up. On the other hand, how many times have you seen your own team rest certain regulars when facing another team's bona fide ace? For much of the season, the Rangers have been known as having a good starting pitching staff but one without a true ace. It's becoming more and more apparent that Wilson is turning into an ace right before our eyes, and it couldn't come at a better time.
Even more heartening than Wilson's Sunday performance was the one turned in by Adrian Beltre. The third baseman has hit for average since returning from the disabled list, but the power hasn't been there. Ron Washington has been batting Beltre 5th in the order, saying he's looking for signs he's ready to return to the clean-up spot. One big humongous sign was shown yesterday. Beltre had a double with authority in his first at bat. His third at bat cleared the left field fence, but not by much, for his first post-DL home run. His 4th at bat was a no doubter, easily clearing the fence onto the green in center field for his second dinger of the day. I'd say there's a pretty good chance Beltre is back in the 4-hole come Tuesday night.
Beltre's bat is sorely needed because, quite frankly, Josh Hamilton has only been an average hitter over the past month plus. It certainly wasn't expected for Hambone to match last year's MVP performance numbers in 2011, but something just doesn't look quite right with Josh. While much has been made about how poorly Hamilton has done in day games, overall he just hasn't hit the ball with much authority. Since the beginning of August, he's been respectable, with 7 doubles, a triple, 6 Homers and 24 RBI, but his batting average has been a pedestrian .274. To add a little perspective, in the same span, Michael Young, Mike Napoli and Ian Kinsler all have more RBI's than Hamilton, David Murphy has only one less. Napoli and Kinsler have both hit more home runs and Kinsler has more doubles as well. And all the aforementioned except for Kinsler have hit for a higher average as well.
Certainly it's a good problem to have, as it shows what a consistent threat the Rangers offensive line-up is, even without Nelson Cruz. Still, a nice Hamilton hot streak would be more than welcome right around now. I'm beginning to wonder if the broken bone in his upper arm that he suffered in April has caused a slight adjustment to his swing that's affected his average and power. Anything's possible.
Hamilton's problem isn't nearly as worrisome as former high school teammates and now Rangers teammates Koji Uehara and Yoshinori Tateyama. Uehara hasn't been very good since coming over from the Orioles and Tateyama has been even worse over the past two weeks.
When Uehara was traded to the Rangers, he sported a 1.72 ERA, a .152 opponents batting average and he had given up 4 home runs in 47 innings of work. Since arriving in the Lone Star State, Koji's given up 5 home runs in just 13 innings of work, with a .226 opponents BA and a 5.27 ERA.
But that's nothing compared to Tateyama. On August 23rd Yoshi's ERA had reached its lowest point of the season at 2.37. Since that time, he's pitched 4 innings, given up 11 hits and twelve runs, all earned, for a 27.00 ERA. Adding insult to injury, the last two batters he's faced have both hit grand slams off him. Saturday's grand slam broke open a 3-3 game and helped the A's break a 10-game losing streak against Texas.
With only 2 1/2 weeks remaining in the regular season, Wash doesn't have a lot of time left to figure out who will fill what bullpen roles come playoff time (assuming the Rangers get there). The recent performances of the two Japanese imports, as well as Mark Lowe and Mike Gonzalez, aren't making the skipper's decision any easier.
Off day today so the R's can root for the A's against the Angels tonight, then Cleveland comes to town Tuesday.
In closing, I'd just like Mr. Wilson to know this: Please resign with the Rangers, please re-sign with the Rangers, please re-sign with the Rangers, please re-sign with the Rangers…..
Thank You Seattle Mariners: Rays 4, Rangers 1
With a mere 27 games remaining on the 2011 schedule, anything that gets the Texas Rangers one step closer to clinching a playoff berth is welcome. Certainly, fans would prefer the Rangers take the drama out of it and just clinch a return trip to the playoffs by winning, winning again and winning some more.
Nice as it would be, it is not realistic. So on those days when the Rangers don't win, a well-placed assist is always welcome. Such was what occurred Wednesday night, when the Mariners helped the Rangers out with a 2-1 come from behind victory over the Angels. It helped take the sting out of the Rangers 4-1 defeat by Tampa Bay and maintained the Rangers' 3 1/2 game lead in the AL West.
Outside of the first inning, when they loaded the bases with one out, Texas never had much of a chance against James Shields. Some games you just lose because an outstanding pitcher throws an outstanding game and this was one of them. Shields was magnificent, throwing eight shutout innings and getting out of the aforementioned first inning by inducing an inning ending double play grounder from Mike Napoli.
Of more concern was the horrific performance of Alexi Ogando and the continued struggles of newly acquired Koji Uehara. Ogando lasted less than three innings, giving up only three runs but looking just awful out on the mound. Last night only confirmed my suspicion that Scott Feldman will replace Ogando in his next scheduled start Monday at the Trop. Uehara, meanwhile, came on to pitch the 8th and again gave up a home run, his 4th since joining the Rangers and in only 10 2/3 innings.
On the positive side of the ledger, rookie Mark Hamburger came on in the 9th, making his major league debut and tossing a scoreless inning. By the way, I will not make any Hamburger puns, as I've seen enough of them over the past two days to realize it's already become trite. Matt Harrison, who took a rotation turn off, tossed two hitless innings and appears ready for his next start Sunday against the Red Sox.
Series finale tonight with Adrian Beltre back in the Rangers line-up. Also activated is utility infielder Andres Blanco. The Rangers have also called up two players, now that rosters have expanded: infielder Esteban German and pitcher Merkin Valdez. Mike Gonzalez and Matt Treanor also join the team tonight, while the Rangers have sent AAA reliever Pedro Strop to the Orioles to complete the trade for Gonzalez. More players will join the Rangers later, but will wait until Round Rock and Frisco complete their respective playoff series.
Welcome Back!
Yesterday the rumor mills were ablaze with possibilities of Lance Berkman joining the Rangers.
Didn't happen.
24 hours later, two deals DID happen, all to provide the Texas Rangers with insurance as we head closer and closer to the post-season.
Texas re-acquired Matt Treanor from the Kansas City Royals, apparently in a straight cash transaction. Treanor was a key member of the 2010 AL Champions who filled in valiantly when Jarrod Saltalamacchia fell out of favor with the organization and Taylor Teagarden struck out more than he put wood on the ball. Treanor was the Rangers' regular catcher until the acquisition of Bengie Molina. Treanor's a grinder who gets the utmost from his talent, which is major league minimal, but he's a great influence in the clubhouse, he'll work a pitcher for long at-bats and is familiar with the pitching staff. Treanor probably will sniff a Rangers post-season roster only if Mike Napoli or Yorvit Torrealba suffer a late-season injury. Meanwhile, he'll be able to provide them with the occasional rest day down the stretch.
Acquisition #2 is Orioles southpaw relief pitcher Mike Gonzalez. Again, this is just an insurance policy for the most part. Gonzalez will serve as a left-handed specialist for the next month. He will only make the post-season roster if A) Darren Oliver gets hurt; or B) if the team they're facing in the playoffs is particularly vulnerable against lefthanders. Otherwise, maybe he'll make Koji Uehara feel more comfortable being a Ranger, since they were teammates just a month ago. Gonzalez was acquired for the very popular Player To Be Named Later.
Two deals giving the Rangers for post-season options. Now all they have to do is make it to the post-season.
Speculation Running Rampant
Boy is the Twitterverse ever burning up this morning.
Not even lunchtime and already speculation that 1) Mark Hamburger is being called up from AAA Round Rock; 2) CF Leonys Martin is being recalled from AAA Round Rock; and 3) Lance Berkman might be traded to the Rangers, maybe in exchange for the aforementioned 1) Mark Hamburger.
Of course none of this is confirmed. Zip, zilch, nada. All of it could be true or none of it could be true.
Here's what's definitely true: There will be no Rangers game tonight.
Halo Goodbye: Rangers Take 2 of 3 From Angels
The most beautiful hit of the weekend to me wasn't any of the hits that led to Nelson Cruz' 6 RBI night Friday. It wasn't the David Murphy grand salami Friday. Or the home runs by Yorvit Torrealba or Josh Hamilton on Sunday. No, much like I've always loved the runt of the litter, the most beautiful hit of the weekend was a bad bunt.
In the 7th inning of a 5-5 game, Elvis Andrus decided to sacrifice Ian Kinsler to second to put the go-ahead run into scoring position. Andrus got underneath the ball, popping the bunt in the air. Miraculously, the bunt went just far enough to elude three Angels hoping to catch it for the first out, landed on the infield and, with a nice little piece of backspin, died hugging the first base line. Fair ball. Base hit. End of the night for Jered Weaver. Three more runs would come around to score before the 7th ended and the Rangers won the rubber game of the three game set 8-5, extending their AL West lead to three games with 37 to go.
It was a badly needed win and an improbable one, considering the Halos had staked their ace to a 4-1 lead with runs in each of the first three innings against Colby Lewis. A 3-run lead for Weaver usually means a W in the book for Anaheim. This time, pitching on only three days rest for the first time in his career, Weaver couldn't hold it, giving up three runs in the 3rd to tie the game at four.
The Angels came back to make it 5-4 in their favor, where it remained until the fateful 7th inning. What was weird was how everything changed in the span of four pitches. The first pitch of the inning was a David Murphy double down the first base line. The second pitch a line single up the middle by Ian Kinsler. The inning's third pitch was the aforementioned Andrus bunt single, ending Weaver's night. And Scott Downs' first pitch to Josh Hamilton made it to the outfield for a single, plating Kinsler with the go-ahead and, as it turned out, winning run.
The game was not without its setbacks. Nelson Cruz, Friday's star, aggravated a hamstring in the 7th inning rally legging out a double and could be lost to the DL for awhile. Cruz had three DL trips in 2010 and one already in 2011 due to hamstring problems. Fortunately, Adrian Beltre starts a rehab assignment today and could return to the Texas line-up on Thursday.
The middle game of the set was easily CJ Wilson's worst pitching performance of the year and perhaps his career. Wilson gave up a career high five home runs as the Angels took the 8-4 decision. Only three days rest didn't bother Angels starter Ervin Santana, four allowed just four hits, albeit in giving up four runs.
Game 1 was all Rangers, as Derek Holland pitched well and Dan Haren didn't. Cruz, demoted to the 7 hole in the line-up, came through with 6 RBI and Murphy's grand slam chased Haren as Texas bashed their way to an 11-1 lead before LA made it look more interesting with 6 runs in the last two innings.
Despite putting one more game of space between themselves and the 2nd place Angels, the next ten games are still a key to securing a playoff spot: three at home against the resurgent Rays, followed by three in Fenway Park against the Red Sox and another three at the Trop in Tampa. Off day today to get some much-needed rest before the Tampa series.
Still not optimistic about a return to the World Series, but feeling a little better about the chances of being in the playoffs again.
Missions 2 and 3 Accomplished: Rangers 4, Angels 3
Winning road trip: Check.
Winning the series with the Angels: Check.
It ain't over 'til it's over. Yet somehow one can't help but realize the Texas Rangers now have firm control over their playoff destiny. On a night where CJ Wilson found himself in a quick 2-0 first inning hole and squaring off against one of the league's hottest 2nd half pitchers in Ervin Santana, once again the guys in the cowboy hats (apologies to former Angels owner Gene Autry) pulled out the victory and ensured they'll leave Anaheim with no less than a six game lead with only 37 to go. If the Rangers play just .500 ball the rest of the way, the Angels are going to have to play at something like a .650 clip just to force a one game playoff. The way their offense has been playing these first three games makes it highly unlikely they can pull off such a feat.
Wilson recovered from the first inning glitch to toss six shutout innings the rest of the way, retiring 9 Angels in a row at one point. Santana didn't have his good stuff, but kept working out of danger and entered the 5th with a 2-0 lead. The Rangers managed to score one in the fifth to cut the lead to 2-1. Mitch Moreland opened the 6th with a monster shot over the right center field wall to tie it up. As soon as the tie was secure, it felt like this was going to be another Rangers victory. The bullpen acquisitions at the trade deadline had me feeling that confident.
The Angels were also in a fix. After burning through their bullpen each of the previous two nights, it was important for Santana to give them a lot of innings. That he did, but Mike Scioscia kept Santana in for one batter too many. In the 7th, the Rangers loaded the bases with nobody out, yet Santana still remained in the game. Scioscia's confidence looked like it was going to pay off when Santana proceeded to strike out Yorvit Torrealba and Endy Chyavez in consecutive at bats. He then got Ian Kinsler, who had gone 0-9 since Monday's 4-5 performance, into a 1-2 hole. The decisive pitch was actually a pretty good one. Santana certainly didn't groove one. Kinsler, though, managed to punch the offering perfectly in between the shortstop and left fielder for a bloop single, plating two runs and staking the Rangers to a 4-2 lead.
With only 6 outs to play with and the new Texas bullpen triumvirate ready and available, suddenly winning the game became a tall order for the Halos. Koji Uehara came on in the 8th and, unfortunately, gave up his third home run since joining the team from Baltimore, cutting the lead to 4-3. Things were feeling a little dicier for rangers fans when Neftali Feliz came on in the 9th and gave up a lead-off single to Mark Trumbo, the first time the Angels had ever gotten a hit off Feliz in their home park. Trumbo would go to second on a grounder to first, then advance to third on the second out. With the tying run just 90 feet away, Feliz coaxed one more grounder to first to end the game.
Refreshing sight: When Uehara came on in the 8th, I perked up and took notice quickly. Uehara is one of the fastest workers on the mound I've seen in quite some time. Just about every time he got the ball back from the catcher, it took only ten seconds before he was throwing the next pitch to the plate. I think 15 seconds is the longest I timed him at between pitches with a low of 8 seconds. Imagine how quickly a ball game would be played if every pitcher took after Koji.
International Writer: I can't believe how quickly and easily this writer got into the habit of writing the names Koji Uehara and Yoshinori Tateyama without thinking of how to spell them.
A 10-game road trip and the Rangers have already secured a winning record with four games to go. For the non-mathematically inclined, that means this road swing has started out at 6-0. Never thought I'd say this, but the Rangers go for the four-game sweep at Anaheim tonight. It'll be a tall order- Colby Lewis vs. Jered Weaver. Colby bested Trevor Cahill in Oakland his last time out. Promises to be a second consecutive pitchers' duel.

I've recently just purchased Cine City's PROAIM DSLR Kit-3 for a couple of reasons, one of them being because of course, the price, and I wanted something that would work on both my JVC-HM100U and Canon 60D. I was a bit hesitant because there where not many reviews of their equipment and wasn't sure what the quality of the product would be. Also, being an independent director, I am constantly looking for alternatives to the high priced products offered by other companies including modifying/fabricating my own equipment.
The kit was delivered via FedEx and arrived within a week after ordering it. All parts where neatly packaged using foam cut outs inside a carrying case. It also came with an instruction booklet informing you of all the parts included and how to assemble it. However, this kit was pretty simple to assemble that even the least mechanically inclined person can put this kit together.
I began with the mount and rail system, attached it to the JVC and Canon with ease, the kit included many different mounting options. The parts are sturdy and decently machined. There is some aligning you will have to perform to line up your camera directly centered.
The follow focus was installed on the left and right side of the camera to ensure proper clearance of accesses to my camera controls and display. For my JVC, it was best on the right side; otherwise, the FF (follow focus) would interfere with the display. You could also order the follow focus II instead since the gear can be installed on both sides of the gearbox allowing for more clearance for the display to open with out any interference.
The FF worked as intended on both the JVC and Canon cameras and had no problem using my other lenses: Sigma 24 – 70mm and Canon 75 – 300mm. I also attached my DOF (depth of field adapter) and that worked with no issues. The FF did have some slop in the knob, which created a "jerk" when used. Tightening the Allen screw that held the knob to the shaft solved this problem. Apparently, other users have done this as well.
The matte box slid on and aligned nicely with minor adjustments, the kit does come with an up/down slide adjuster for the hood and a shim set for the camera mount. For the JVC, if you do not use a DOF, the matte box will interfere with camera's sound control support not allowing it to be installed. However, Cine City offers a 95-77mm adapter ring free of charge (you have to request it when ordering) for the Sony EX-1 that I used to extended length so the matte box could be installed. Also, the top flag will interfere with the shotgun mic unless you increase the height of the mic. I typically use a boom mic, so this was not a problem for me. The kit also came with a variety of donuts that made lens switching handy. Once you complete the installation, you will need to tighten up the French flags with the provided Allen key so they are sturdier. The frame of the matte box is not as solid as other matte box but for the price, it will work just fine.
The shoulder mount was then installed with no issues; the handle grips are comfortable and easily adjustable with the provided spring-loaded adjustable handles. The shoulder support was sturdy enough; however, I did find the padding on it a bit stiff.
After complete installation, I removed it from the tri-pod to test out the shoulder support. To test it, I ran around my flat chasing my dog around and was very impressed with the durability and ease of mobility.
In conclusion, I am very satisfied with my purchase. The sales at cine city are very attentive and respond to your emails promptly. They shipped my order quickly and received it with no issues. All parts functioned as they should with minor adjustments. The quality of the materials is no comparison to what you would pay on the high-end products but for the indie films I direct, they are more then sufficient and it's a good-looking kit to have while shooting.

The White House unveiled a new drug policy strategy that veers away from imposing heavy prison sentences for illicit drug use and focuses instead on prevention and treatment. The new approach looks at drug addiction as a treatable disease rather than a crime. The Drug Policy Alliance, a leading pro-reform group, dismissed the new drug strategy as being "almost identical" to those of previous administrations. The Obama administration "is prioritizing low-level drug arrests, trampling on state medical marijuana laws, and expanding supply-side interdiction approaches -- while not doing enough to actually reduce the harms of drug addiction and misuse."
In 2011 the 1961 UN Single Convention on drugs will be in place for 50 years. In 2012 the international drug control system will exist 100 years since the International Opium Convention was signed in 1912 in The Hague. Does it still serve its purpose or is a reform of the UN Drug Conventions needed? This site provides critical background.

Based on Firmware 1.0
Olympus has just announced Firmware 4.0 upgrade for late November. So why does Olympus still peddle this DVD based on Firmware 1.0? When I tried to track the video with my E-M1 in hand, I thought there must be something wrong with my camera. So I called Olympus and a tech person told me that my camera's Firmware 3.0 had nothing to do with the DVD model's firmware. So why does Olympus continue to sell this DVD? I can't make any money for Olympus. But it certainly does anger brand-loyal consumers who feel they've be fleeced by purchasing not just an out of date product but a way out of date product -- and one that the seller Olympus knows is way out of date. Olympus's webpage is so hard to navigate, perhaps Olympus just doesn't know this relic is still there for sale.Read More
I got this hoping to get some practical advice to use the camera but all it does is go through the menus. Useless! I want to know the best ways to set up the camera for various purposes as a semipro photographer moving from a Canon 5D III. Shame on Oly for releasing this kind of a product.
Hate is generally a very strong term (for me); however, it apltly fits when a mutinational orgaization sells you for things that should surely be included in the product package. In addition, the DVD is not worth it becasue it is not catergorized by functions, which makes navigation inefficient and a waste of time. In addition, these products are often available online from other retailers at a lower price or even free sometimes. This is almost the first and last time I am purchasing an Olympus product.Read More
It should have been included with the purchase of the E-M1 or a free download. Not really worth the cost of the DVD. Speed of presentation too fast and not much different from the more detail instruction manual.
With such an amazing array of products, why would Olympus hire a guy to "read the manual" to me? Nothing motivational or interesting on this DVD at all. Impressed as I am with their products, I am very disappointed with the design of their website and promotional material. Olympus marketing needs a major overhaul with fresh insight into the desires and needs of potential buyers as well as assurances of current customers.Read More

What is an ophthalmic technologist?
An ophthalmic medical technologist is a valuable member of the eye care team. A skilled technologist performs diagnostic tasks and measurements under the direction and supervision of a licensed physician who specializes in ophthalmology.
Ophthalmic medical technologists do not diagnose illnesses or plan treatment but perform many supportive services for the physician. They can take visual and medical histories, create ophthalmic photographs to document retinal or corneal defects, perform anatomical and functional ocular measurements and tests, assess abnormalities of color vision, measure function of the eye muscles and assist in ophthalmic surgery.
The profession provides continual opportunities to help people maintain or improve their vision. Because the ophthalmic medical technologist develops a rapport with patients, it is important that the technologist have a caring demeanor and excellent communication skills.
Ophthalmic medical technologists are employed in a variety of clinical settings for which the ophthalmologist is responsible. These settings include private offices, group practices, hospital specialty clinics and university clinics. Because technologists are the most highly-skilled technical personnel in the field, many assume supervisory roles and teach other members of the allied health team.

The honor system is a way for players to gain honor rewards and PvP rewards by participating in PvP (Player vs. Player) settings (random, world, arena, battleground, or zone). Initially, only random, world and battlegrounds were available, but arena and zone areas were added to the game too.
Random PvP Edit
- Main article: Random PvP
Honor Points are obtainable in Random PvP fights by killing enemy players.
World PvP Edit
- Main article: World PvP
Honor Points are obtainable in World PvP fights by killing enemy players.
Arena Edit
- Main article: Arena PvP system
In arena, by killing other players, you will not be awarded with Honor Points. Anyway you get them from the Arena Flush, that awards players who have done atleast 10 Arena Games with Honor Points. The amount of Honor Points are based on Team Rating.
Battlegrounds Edit
- Main article: Battleground
In Battlegrounds you obtain Honor Points by killing enemy players and by playing the Battleground's objectives. Also, when the Battleground ends, if your faction has won, you will be awarded with extra Honor Points.
PvP zones Edit
- Main article: PvP zone
There are basically two types of PvP zones: subzones and full zones. They are distinguished from other PvP areas in that special rules and effects apply while in these zones, but they are not instanced in any way, so players can enter and leave the zones freely. World of Warcraft started with PvP tasks in Eastern Plaguelands and Silithus, Burning Crusade added more PvP subzones (in Hellfire Peninsula, Nagrand, Terokkar Forest, and Zangarmarsh), and Wrath of the Lich King added full PvP zones (Wintergrasp).
Subzones Edit
Zone-specific PvP tokens EditThis section concerns content exclusive to The Burning Crusade.
Starting with Burning Crusade, there are PvP tokens earned in specific zones when killing players of the opposing faction:
- [Mark of Honor Hold] - earned in Hellfire Peninsula and Zangarmarsh for Alliance Players.
- [Mark of Thrallmar] - earned in Hellfire Peninsula and Zangarmarsh for Horde Players.
- [Halaa Battle Token] - earned when killing players surrounding Halaa in Nagrand.[citation needed]

UTA Hall of Honor to Induct Four New Members
July 22, 2009
ARLINGTON, Texas - Former UT Arlington right-handed pitcher Jeff Burrow, football standout Mike Barnes, javelin All-American Jenny Hockett and former softball player and UTA coach Rayla Allison will be inducted into The University of Texas at Arlington Department of Athletics Hall of Honor, on Sept. 12 at the Arlington Hilton Hotel Grand Ballroom.
Jeff Burrow (1988-91) - Baseball
In 1991, Burrow became one of only seven pitchers in UT Arlington history to win 10 games, leading the Mavericks with a 10-3, 3.89 record, 45 strikeouts in a team best 85.2 inning pitched. Those 10 victories that season led the Southland Conference.
A second team All-Southland Conference selection as a sophomore, Burrow was the team leader in innings pitched and complete games during his sophomore, junior and senior seasons.
Burrow earned a spot in the Mavericks' rotation as a freshman going 4-2 with a 4.36 ERA in 66.0 innings pitched with four complete games in nine starts. He earned the team's Most Outstanding Freshman Award for his accomplishments in 1988.
As a sophomore in 1989, he led the Mavs in innings pitched (89) and complete games (6), helping UTA to a 33-win campaign. Burrow went 7-5, 3.74 in 13 starts as he recorded 62 strikeouts. The all-conference honoree also threw a seven-hit, complete-game shutout over No. 7 Texas, 2-0 in Austin.
He had continued success as a junior in 1990 going 6-6 with a 3.51 ERA in a team-leading 92.0 innings. Burrow tallied six complete games for the second consecutive season and had 52 strikeouts while making 18 starts. He narrowly missed collecting an Opening Day victory at Texas A&M in a 3-2 loss, despite throwing a four-hit complete game.
Burrow helped lead the Mavericks to their first Southland Conference championship while pitching six innings of two-hit baseball in relief against Sam Houston State in the final regular season game of the season.
Burrow completed his collegiate career logging nine complete games - only the third pitcher in UTA history since 1990 to accomplish that feat - in 14 starts with a 10-3 record with 45 strikeouts during his senior season.
Following the 1991 season, Burrow signed a free agent contract with the Chicago White Sox where he would play three professional seasons making 14 appearances (three starts) with a 2-1 record, 3.89 ERA and 34.2 innings pitched. Burrow will become the seventh individual (sixth student-athlete) from the UT Arlington baseball program to be inducted into the Athletic Hall of Honor.
Rayla Allison (1972-75) - Softball Player (1993-89) - Head Coach
After earning her bachelor's degree at UT Arlington in 1975, she was a teacher/girls basketball coach for a year at Plano Senior High and later served as head basketball coach at Texas Woman's University.
As a standout softball player, Allison was a member of the first USA team to compete in China in 1979 and played on the world champion women's professional Connecticut Falcons softball team which won the title four straight years from 1976-79.
In 1977-79, Allison was named head basketball coach of Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn. She returned to the Metroplex to serve as an exercise physiologist at the Irving Athletic Club for one year.
Allison earned her master's degree from Texas Woman's University in 1983 and has authored a book titled "Complete Softball for Coaches and Players," published in 1979.
In the fall of 1984, Allison was named the fifth head softball coach at UT Arlington where she compiled a 189-152-2 record in five seasons. In her final season she led the Mavs to a 34-19 mark and a first place conference finish.
Allison continued her coaching career at the University of Hawai'i where she served as head softball coach from 1989-91.
Allison then served as executive director of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association from 1991-94 and from 1994-2000 she was the Women's Pro Fastpitch Vice President/league director. Allison earned her juris doctorate from William Mitchell College of Law and began her private practice in Bloomington, Minnesota in 2000.
From 2001-06, Allison served as assistant professor and coordinator of sports management and human performance at Minnesota State University.
Currently, Allison is the chief executive office and lecturer at the University of Minnesota.
Mike Barnes (1964-66) - Football
His junior season, Barnes finished with five interceptions for 53 yards and was in on 32 tackles. The following year, the senior picked off eight passes for a single-season record. Barnes holds the most career pass interceptions (13) and single-season record (8) in UTA Football history. Barnes also holds the most interceptions in a game (3) against Texas A&I in 1965 and against Abilene Christian in 1966.
Following his senior season, Barnes earned a starting spot in the 1966 Senior Bowl, was an All-SLC defensive player and earned SLC Player of the Week honors after an outstanding performance over Abilene Christian and was a Dallas News All-Texas College honoree. Barnes continued his football career after college and was drafted in the fourth round of the NFL Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. Barnes played in 17 games and recovered two fumbles for the Cardinals in his professional career.
Jenny Hockett (1990-93) - Women's Track and Field
During her senior season, Hockett became one of two track and field athletes to be an SLC Individual High-Point Scorer in the long jump, javelin and 400 relay with 26.5 total points. Hockett became UTA's first All-American woman to represent the South team at the U.S. Olympic Festival in San Antonio, placing seventh overall in that event.
Hockett is a nine-time Southland Conference champion that holds UTA records in the long jump (20-53/4) and 55-meters (7.01) and is a member of UTA's best-ever 400 relay team.

Professor Geoffrey Burnstock proposed the purinergic hypothesis, describing what is probably the most primitive (oldest) signalling pathway in the body. He cloned the first purinergic receptor in the early '90s, and is now excited about the pathophysiology of these receptors, and especially their application to potential treatments for many diseases, including epilepsy, Alzheimer's and cystic fibrosis, as well as pain management.
I love coming up with new hypotheses

As the world watches the rising death toll from the Mexican outbreak of swine influenza, and wonders what's going to happen next, it looks like new media darling Twitter has caught a bad case of H1N1 itself. The social networking tool is being used as a fast-track for sharing information on the development of the disease that's outstripping conventional news channels.
When it comes to Twitter's power to spread information, consider this: I didn't hear about the outbreak through the TV, radio, or even reading a news Web site—which I do every minute as part of my job. Instead I read a tweet from BoingBoingTV's Xeni Jardin, commenting on her surprise at the events. She immediately followed up with more information, and has been commenting on the developments periodically for several days now: as befits her travel-intensive and news-writing job.
But Xeni is just one of the many, many people tweeting about the news. Searching Twitter reveals the top three "trending topics" on the site are "swineflu", "#swineflu" and "Mexico." The results pages then reveal the hundreds and hundreds of tweets on the topic. Some are simply discussing the disease, voicing opinions or fears, but some are up-to-the minute news snippets, like @meowludo's "1st confirmed case of swine flu in Sydney Australia" or @christopherhire's re-tweet of @nikitasamuelle's "Wow, there are actually people here in Atlanta airport with face masks #swineflu (fears I assume)."
That last tweet is evidence of a public demonstration of the level of worry in the U.S., and you probably won't find it reflected in a "conventional" news report for a while. Twitter's strength as a citizen journalism news-casting tool has been demonstrated before, in the Hudson river plane crash for example, but it really seems like it's finding vital use as a live news channel on this new medical problem. Of course that points to another set of issues—there's no moderation on Twitter, obviously, so there's as much a potential for the spread of misinformation as there is for vital or interesting news.
This secondary issue even had one of Twitter's most influential members, comedian Stephen Fry, tweeting this morning with a hugely sensible request: "We must do our best to be sensible about this panic and not let Twitter earn a bad reputation, don't we think?" It's not Twitter's fault—it's a symptom of the newness of its "one to many" broadcasting abilities that beats even public access TV for giving people a voice, thanks to its (ironically) viral message-forwarding nature. And panic about an important medical issue like this, be it in person or via a virtual data source like Twitter is never sensible: All it does is complicate matters.
Following swine flu related news, and tweeting about it yourself, on Twitter calls for a bit of level-headed thinking, which we'll highlight here.
- Don't believe sensationalist claims.
- Don't let someone else's fears worry you.
- Check up medical facts with a reputable source.
- Pay attention to the CDC's own Twitter feed about the problem.
